OKLAHOMA.

The right OF the creeks and Sem
inoles TO prevent the opening of Ok
lahoma is not any too clear. The peO-
pie of the United States demand the
settlement of these vacant lands. The
Indians who are trying to play dog
in-the-manger game would do better
for themselves by accepting liberal
terms while they can. The Seminoles
are willing TO treat. The Greeks are
evenly divided upon the question. The
sensible ones are inclined 10 follow the
Seminolee. The authorities at Wash

rest 10 terms before congress takes up
the matter. Peacevble means are best

A few weeks ago Democratic news
papers iii Ohio called upon "the faith
fur TO give the Prohibtionists rous-

an active campaign. The Democratic
candidate even refused for long
time 10 discuss political questions
with the Republican nominee unless
the Prohibition candidate should be
invited TO be present and take a part.
But since the election a wonderful
change has been inaugurated, aud
Democrats between drinks swear and
make faces at Prohibitiouisis who

WASHINGTON Aug 16.-The chairman of
Democratic committee in one of the central con-
gressional districts of New York State is here
again. He was asked last night what he thought
OF the policy of the administration now, and he
replied very frankly New York State has re-
ceived very fair recognition thus far in the mat
ter of apportioning the Offices, but the people of
the State-the voters, mean-pay attention
to the fact that Assistant Secretary Fairchild,
Second Comptroller Maynard, Treasurer Jordan,
Minister Sam Cox and dozen or so more
of these high officials are New York
men. They see that John Hardscramble
is still postmaster at Linden Four Corners, and
he is the man who controls the politics of their
part of the State. There has been very much
more pickering among the clans in the Demo
cratic party since the 4th of March than there
ever was before. This is especially true in the
rural districts of New York"
care you hot satisfied with the course of First
Assistant Postmaster general Stevenson!7 was
asked.
Il saw a statement the other day." he replied
(which said that if the Postmaster-general kept
the work up as rapidly as he was now doing, it
would require ninety months in which to change
all the postofices. That will be eight years
hence and four years after the present adminis-
tration has gone out of existence 1t is true
there have been several hundred perhaps, Few
postmasters appointed in New York State
within the last month or so; but they
come too late. If the Postmaster general
had made general sweep during the month of
March, every one would have been satisfied and
the man lucky enough to secure the appointment
would have been patted on the back by his Dem
ocratic associates Now, however, there are a
dozen candidates in the field for every little
cross roads postofice, and the eleven men who
get left thorns in tho side of the Democracy
or course hope that we shall carry the State
this fall but really must say that the minority
party-which means the Republicans-has the
inside track this year."

Not Half the Truth Is Told.

London Special.
The deaths in Spar make bad showing, a
total of 57,2l9. Probably the truth would make
the total 1000 or 5000 more At the present
rate of virulence and spread, it is not likely that
the total for the year will exceed 100O 900. These
figures recall the most hideous stories of me-!
diaval plaques Long ago the climax of misery,
and panic and suffering seemed to have been
reached, yet the daily reports now reveal new
depths of horror. Granada villages are filled
with unbured corpses; mobs stoning the
doctors; hordes of unmiked cattle are roaming
about the fields believing; officials commit
ting suicide. All this awful chaos at last is be-
ginning seriously in the city of Madrid. where
despairing efforts have kept the disease at bay
so long. Only eight provinces are affected now.
The plague is firmly fixed in the Pyrenean
country. Bilbao and San, Andre will be
the next victims in the NORTH and
thousands will be swept away in the
coming month. The outbreak at Gibraltar has
revived here the fear which has slum bered since
the Bristol case failed to spread the disease.
The chief comfort of England lies in the Fact
that heretofore cholera has only come through
Germany, which induces the hope that we are
safe from later infection. The Marseilles

that the marriage should take place secretly.
That stipulation being a very unimportant de-

was readily assented to. A license was OBJ

officer in England Two clergymen from st.
Mary Abbots Church, Kensington, offciated at
the ceremony. An altar erected for the
occasion in the doorway leading from the back
paror to a small conservatory. The room IN
which the marriage took place is only nine feet
square, and its occupants, beside the clergymen
and the contracting parties, were Mrs. Barring
Lawford, the brides mother; Mr.. Lawford. her
brother. and Miss F. Lawford. The room was
decOra ted with brio a brac and its furniture was
of An antique pattern. The bride wore a silver
gray satin dress, trimmed with brocaded velvet
of darker shade. The wedding breakfast was
served in a room adjoining the one in which the
wedding took place, and when a reporter called
to verify, if possible, the rumor that the wedding
had taken place, he was laughed at. He
persisted in his inquiry, and was told that there
was positively truth in the rumor; that
the marriage was impossible, and the re-
port an outrage. Telegrams were sent
received, and the clergymen who were
said to have performed the ceremony declined to
speak upon the subject. Determined to run the
story down, the reporter called at the residence
OF Mrs. Barring Lawford. He was received very
courteously, but could obtain no information
until he informed the lady that the fact of the
marriage was well known, but that he had called
to secure an absolutely correct account OF the
affair This statement unnerved the lady TOR a
moment but she soon recovered her composure
and related the story substantially as above
described. Lord Coleridge she said, insisted
upon the matter being kept secret for week,
and was particularly anxious that his son should
not know of it. In the room In which the re-
porter was received were scores of boxes packed
and addressed, containing wedding cake, and
upon a table in the center of the room were
several large dishes of the cake ready to be
packed in the large number of empty boxes
which were piled up on one end of the sdeboard.

A SENSATIONAL WEDDING.
The Marriage of Lord Chief-Justice Coleridge
and Miss Lawford.

London Special.
Lord Chief justice Coeridge was privately
married to-day to Miss Amy Augusta jackson
Lawford. The bride is rot an American. as has
been reported, but an English woman, though
she has travelled extensively in America. She is
the daughter of the late Henry Barring Lawford,
who was for many years connected with the
Bengal civil service.
A specia. license for the marriage had been
applied for and granted the 10th inst, so that
the marriage could take place at any time of
day that the parties wished. Although not
wholly unexpected, the marriage has created a
great social sensation in London. 1t is reported
that the Chief justice Was compelled under
threat Of legal proceedings to wed the woman
She had, it is said, given him to understand that
unless he fulfilled his promise, suits for heavy
damages would be begun at an early day. 1t was
in order to avoid scandal and heavy pecuniary
loss-the latter more particularly. perhaps, mas
much as he is quite parsimonious-that the
Chief justice consented to wed Miss Lawford.
The lady is described as being a decided bru-
nette, about thirty years of age, with graceful
carriage, slender though perfectly nodded
figure, and aquiline feature. Her fascinating
and SlVaclouS manner so cDat1neO the le3ClDg
dispenser of British justice that during his
return voyage from his American tour, on which
occasion he first met her. he danced almost con-
tinua attendance upon her. After his arrival in
London, however, the aged lovers ardor cooled
rapidly and in a short time the thermometer of
his affection registered very low temperature
1t was at this stage of the proceedings that the
lady's mother came out strong. She reminded
his lordship of the fervor of his love making on
board the steamer. The tender and love laden
sentences addressed by him to her daughter
while under the influence of her smiles were
brought back to him verbatim, and numerous
other circumstances connected with the vener
able lovers brief wooing, which might have
certain degree of influence upon jury, were
mentioned reasons why she should become
the mother-in- law of the Lord Chief Justice of
England The austere jurist, whose very glance
has often silenced the voices of eminent ad
vocates and filed with terror the hearts of cul-
prts, was poweress to dislodge the match max
