The Oklahoma Settlers Petition
Congress to Settle Their
Difficulties.
Senator Morrill, Makes a Strong Plea
Against Reciprocity Treaties
in General.
The Interstate Commerce Bill Occupies the
Time of Both Houses, With
No Conclusion.
FoRTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.


WASHINGTON, Jan. THE chair laid be-
river com mission. A report showing tie
maintenance, by Capt. Eads, Of the channel
in south pass of tue Mississippi river.
Among the petitions presented was one
by Senator Plumb from the Oklahoma set
tiers, who set forth that the land they occupy
has been long since bought from the Indians
by the United States and paid for; that the
United States did not expect or intend that
the Indians should again occupy the land,
and the petitioners, therefore, see no reason
why they should not be allowed to remain
in the homes established for themselves and
families.
The senate passed the house joint resolu-
ton appropriatihg $50, 900 to relieve the
wants Of destitute Indians.
Senator Morrill, called up his resolution de-
claring that reciprocity treaties with nations
OF inferior population and resources should
be regarded with diSfavor, and spoke at
length in lis support, taking the ground that
reciprocity treaties were unconstitutional !;
tnat apart from their unconstitutionality they
were 'ircuraby wrong" that they were at
war with the ''most favored ma
tion' clause of all other treaties ;
that so-called ''reciprocity'' treaties with
Inferior nations surrendered much home
trade in return for little foreign trade, and
that real reciprocity with such nations was
impossible. Throughout his entire speech
there is careful avoidance of a distinct
mention Of the Spanish treaty.
Consideration OF the interstate commerce
bill was resumed and Senator Bayard OPP
posed it, while Senator ingalls, replied, favor
ing it.
After executive session the senate ad-
journed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-All Of the prominent
stocks, with the exception of St. Paul, opened
this morning below last nights closing quo
tatious. Union Pacific almost Immediately
COMMANDED an advance Of 4 per cent on
Yesterdays figures. New York Central and
Lake Shore fuctuated, with an inclination 10
fall, and the pronounced weakness Of the
coal stocks has a generally depressing effect.
st. Paul opened i higher and took the lead
For some reason not given Western Union
WAS notably strong and rose IL within a
short time. There was large buying Of II by
strong parties, including Deacon White, who
took 5000 shares. II was stated that Gould
is so well pleased with the outlook that he
has determined 10 take hold aud put the
market up, especially his own stocks, Union
Pacific, Western Union and Manhattan
Elevated, and it looked as though such
movement had started this morning iu
Western Union.
The Wall Street NC7cs SAYS editorially this
morning: "We do not think It would be lust
to our readers al this time not to give them
warning Of possible disaster, such as we
are informed is on the tapis. II something
occurs, which now seems extremely probable,
Wall street will have such a shock as has not
occurred since Commodore Garrison ;
failure"
THIS ominous editorial was about 10 O'Clock
supplemented by the circulation Of rumor
that Huntington had or was about to fail
The effort TO shake the market, which gave
promising indications ~ strength, was futile,
as prompt investigation showed the rumor to
be gruundlcss. The bulls on coal stocks
say that the late reduction ia working ex-
peuses Of the companies will make up forth,.
decrease In prices and that the coal roads
will still be able TO draw their dividends.
Il is thought that cheaper coal will geatlv
help the manufacturers and start up general
business, and thus increase the current con-
sumption. The weak holders Of the coal
stncks have heen pretty well shake1 out, and
nothing but outside bear pressure Keeps them
down. Deacon White, who has been biz
bear lately 90 the whole list, ls said to have
covered 40. 600 shares Of short stock at a CON
siderable loss. In the closing hour the
market was thoroughly demoralized. The
shorts, who covered large lines Yesterday,
were putting them out at lower f-ures to-day.
The bears were occupying front sasts during
the greater part Of the session. The agents
OF trunk lines seem unable 20 agree on
passenger rates. Il hegius 10 look a little
like war to the knife belor, hostiliiies cease.
A slight rally characterized the late dealings.

ANOTHER GETTYSBURG.
How the People of Potter County,
Dak., Are Going to Annihilate
One Another.
Especial Telegram to the Globe !

PIERRE, Dak., Jan. THE following
special was received from Forest City, Potter
county, OAK, at 7 O'Clock p. m.: An armed
mob from Gettysburg and vicinity came to
Forest City this morning, and, under charge
of c. A. Gilchrist, Jim Brison and Doty.
took possession of the public records, safe,
ETC., by tearing out part of the building in
which they were kept and removing them By
force. At this writing the sheriff has started
in pursuit at the head of an armed
force, and the probabilities are that
battle will ensue. The citizens are coming
from all directions, and are loud in their
demonstrations at the action of the Gettys-
burg people, and unless the records are re-
turned by Tomorrow the county will be a
scene of bloodshed and riot. The great ma
jority of the people desire to see the county
seat matter settled by the court and will
abide its decision cheerfully, but, on the
other hand, will meet furce by force, and not
allow party of bandits to defy public de-
cency and assume power superior to the
courts. The probabilities are that $50 men,
armed to the teeth, will make raid on
Gettysburg tonight and demand the records.

most likely an increase again in the visible
supply. We would say the proper thing to

Corn made better showing than usual Of
late, and the pit contained uear.y double the
mum Der Of scalprrs seen there yesterday or
any day since The new year began. Still,
there Was no particular feature in the mar
ket. May was the favorite option. 1t
opened steady at 1880, sold up TO 4014c,
and. with fluctuations Of &c at the outside,
offered the scalpers an opportunity which
they made use of. George Baldwin was a
noticeable figure in the corn pit, mainly
owing TO the amount Of noise ne made, con-
siderably on account of his shining high hat
and slightly because of several purchases and
sales he made there. The close was re off
from the highest figures at 40c for May and
364c for February, the latter showing an
advance Of &c as compared with yesterday
and the former &c.
The long neglected pork pit is gradually
becoming once again thickly populated
Provisions are growing slowly into the afTrc-
tions Of spcculators. great and small and
the price, under such spring treatment,
is ascending quietly but surely. To-day the
shorts became SO thoroughly impressed with
the idea that it was tine for them to cover
their sales that the packers were given an
opportunity 10 dispose OF few barrels of
their pork. This and Il toerably fair scalp
ing trade made up the days business. Feb
ruary opened 21zc higher at rS11.7O, sold up
to Sl2.O5 and closed at $l1.95; January
reached Sl2, and closed at Sll.90, gain Of
2T}zc. Lard opened unchaEged at SG.S2{
for February, sold up 10 s. and closed at
SG.95. February ribs opened l2Lc higher
and closed at SG.07JG, gain for the day of
zoe, while January closed 171zc higher at
S6O21l.
Al the stockyards business was fairly active
in all branches. The weather during the
night was such as dried out dressed animals

crations in the packing houses, hence pack
crs had liberal orders on the market aud
prices ruled sc 70 Zoe higher on leading pack
ing grades. Butchers and Gamers stock is
steady at the decline previously noted. Tae
fresh receipts Of hogs were about 10, 900 and
Of cattle $500.

matter, and are highly pleased to feel that
Minnesota will combine with them in their
demands. The idea of consultation OF the
two legislatures is extremely acceptable. One
reason urged for division is that the great
extent of the territory and the magnitude OF
their judicial districts makes the administra-
ton Of law unweildy and expensive. In case
of division of the territory, the choice of
capital would lie between Pierre aud Huron.
South Dakota takes to the lower branch
of the legislature three candidates
for speaeer, Major Pickler, Mr..

to doubt his election. They have two can
didstes for chief clerk Of the house, E. t.
Cressey, of Beadle county, and I. d. Kings

Cressey as the mos. likely tr get there. No
candidates were mentioned by the parties
