In every one of these provinces
there is bitter memory of the inn
measurable crimes and iniquity Of
Turkey in times past. The people
are on the alert for an opportunity
to revenge them when the clock
strikes the hour they will unsheath
their swords, every one Of them, and
the Sultan will have a very hard
reckoning with his brave and reck- :
less enemies. Whether the clock
will strike that hour soon cannot vet
be foretold; but when it does strike
there will be blood on the ground.
That is the situation.
1t will never do for the great
Powers to allow Russia to have her
own way. 1t would give her too
much influence in Europe. SO Aus
tria meets Russia az kremsier and
Alexander and Josef have a confer
.enoe, nut what they agreed upon
can be found out only through what
happens. Bismark and the Sultan
seems to understand each other, and
the latter is possibly acting under
the advice of the former.
1t is combination game Of chess
by old, sharp, shrewd players. He
who wins will take the stakes-Con-
stantinople. But it is likely to be a
long game, and the checkmate will
not occur IN our time. Alexander
moves a pawn and threatens Austria.
Austria meets the threat and men
aces Russia. Bismark slyly puts
his knight INTO an unexpected place,
and both Russia and Austria stop to
discover what he is after. The Sui
tan has so much interest in the game
that he is confused, and is Just as
likely to make a bad move as a good
one. He is a poor player ut best
and is sure to lose in the end.

MARTIN MITCHELL.

The Cross County Chronicle, on
the escape Of Martin Mitchell from
the Wittsburg Jail, says:
"After having sentence passed
upon him for 800 fine. and thirty
days imprisonment for violating the
U. 5. revenue laws, Martin Mitchell
was brought to the Wittsburg Jail
last Saturday, to serve out his term.
On Tuesday morning Deputy Sher-
iif Bedford went up to the Jail and
carried Mitchell's breakfast TO him.
BY entreatles and persuasions he was
induced to leave the outside door of
the Jail open. When he went to
carry dinner to the prisoner, behold
the Martin had taken his flight.
What else Deputy Bedford could
have anticipated, we fail to under
stand. He knew from experience
that It was but the work of few
minutes for man to escape from
that Jail when the outside door was
left open. Any way he left 1t open,
that is, turned the prisoner loose
and now our Swamp Angel" is
sporting in his old haunts in the
shady St. Francis bottom"
a story, which has been adroitly
circulated by Mitchell's friends to
excite sympathy, is to the effect that
his wife had been summarily elected
from the premises where She was
living by the members Of the Black
fish Cunning Club, who own the
property, and that by reason of said
ejectment while in delicate health,
she died from the exposure to which
she was subjected during the re-
moval. a counter statement Of the
whole transaction, and the causes
which ied to it appears IN the Mem
phis papers, by member of the
Gun Club, which shows the affair in
a different light; but for all that, it
is not likely the Blackfsh Cunning
Club viii go into camp while that
swamp angel roams at large il the
Blaclfish swamps.

THE vote for Associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court was mild affair,
to say the least, and will probably
not exceed $4,000 for the entire
state. This is due, not to any OBJ
lection to the nominee, B. b. Battle,
but to the fact that little interest can
ever be excited in special elections.

A TALK WITH CAPT. COUCH.
The Head of the Oklahoma "Boomers''
Arrives in Washington.


"What is the object of your mission to
Washington - asked a reporter last night
of bronze-visaged. medium-ssized man
with quiet and gentlemanly demeanor,
who was signing the name Capt. W. l..
Couch" on the register Of the National
hotel.
Il have" said ne. Sheen commissioned
by the oklahoma boomers to visit the ma
tlonal capital to presei their side of the
case 10 the President and Secretary Of the
Interior, and to insist upOn an opinion
on the legal status OF The oklahoma land
question. We hold that the land is pub
lie property, and, therefore, that we have
a right to settle upon it, but il it is said
that the Indians have right TO it, as we
do not imagine they have, we want a
commission appointed to settle the ques-
ton"
'0n what grounds do you base your
Opinions?"
''On the tact that the whole Of the dis
puted territory was bought and paid for
by the United States Government at the
treaty OF 1866. Since that time the Indians
have never claimed the land and did not
pretend to have any claims until they
were urged to it, and until the introduce
ton Of the Vest resolu ion in Congress.
There have never been any Indians on the
true, as has been stated in the press, that
the cattlemen have been removed from
the Territory. They are allowed to go in
and out as they please, and the army
stationed there has been, both before and
since the proclamation, used TO protect
one class and not another"
'What sort of a country is OklahOma?"
1T Is as fine q c0dutry as tn re is In the
United States, with so per cent. OF good
agricultural land and the rema nder graz
ing. 1t is well watered with three large
rivers and a number of smaller streams.
There are about twenty cattle companies,
who pull all together and control all the
Oklahoma country. They also hold leases
from the Indians on about $1,000. 600 acres.
These leases are not legal, as even Secre-
tary Teller allowed, but they are permit
ted to hold good, and the reason of this is,
in plain English, that it is the friends OF
the Senator's who hold the leases sur
rounding and who occupy oklahoma"
Are there any of the boomers IN the
Territory now ~
mo. Immediately on the Presidential
pr clamation we all left the Territory,
and are now camped around Arkansas
City, Kan. There are about 900 of us in
that neighbOrhood, but there are colonies,
numbering upwards OF $4,000 men, just
waiting to 90 into the country. Ii it
should be thrown open these 0,000 people
would all rush in within sixty days."
