scare at the climatic changes to result from
the opening of the Panama Canal The
Pacllc, he says, is % feet higher and 20

took thelnltlative yesterday for fitting up re-
celylng rooms at the police station for use

The cattlemen infesting Indian Territory.
when ordered by the President to leave the
Territory in forty days, took two weeks to
got to Washington, for the purpose of con-
vlnclng the President that they could not
vacate in the time specified Mr. Cleveland
blun1y informed them that ii was strange

being ON wheels. These Democrats are
very consistent fellows-in their way.
