Clarke understand from what Lamar said
on this point that the position of the adj
ministration is that it is not subject to i'm
mediate settlement under the land laws.
The question of the occupancy of Okla
homa by the cattle men was then raised.
Capt. Couch informed the Secretary of the
location of the ranches, the amount OF
land occupied, and the names of the
persons occupying it, He also told Mr..
Lamar that the cattlemen were allowed to
pass by the military on pass from any OF
the cattle kings, and that anybody connect
ed with the cattle companies was allowed to
pass in and out of the Territory without
question. Capt. Couch said that the settlers

that these lands were not open to settle
ment, il was right and Just that the cattle
men. who are not only upon the Oklahoma
lands, but are occupying the surrounding
Indian country under illegal leases, should
also be elected.
Mr.. Lamar replied that they would be
elected; that all the cattle syndicates would
| be elected. He said: Il agree with you on
| that. gentlemen" He also affirmed that his
feelings were all with the settlers, but that
on this one point of law as to the lands
being open to settlement now he did not
agree with them. AS to the question
of the appointment of commission
to negotiate with the Indians, the Secretary
said that the administration would take
early action upon it. He said, "Gentle-
men. you may consider the administration
q little slow, but we intend to meet oil these
questions, and think we shall meet them
in way which will be generally satisfac-
tory to your people"

He Is Told that All unlawful Intruders

Elected.

Capt. Couch, with his counsel, Sidney
Clarke, visited Washington last week, and
had an interview with Secretary Lamar.
The substance of the interview was as fol-
lows: Capt. Couch gave history of the
Oklahoma question, and the view which he
and the Western people generally take of
il. The Secretar y took the view that the
clause in the treaty setting this land aside
for freedmen and friendly Indians
created a trust which made it in
cumbent upon the Government to preserve
it in that status until such time as Con-
gress might make another disposition of it.
This point was discussed at length. The
decisions of the courts for and against this
position were quoted. Capt. Couch and Mr..

Another Version of the Conflict.

ISL Petersbufg ulspAUcn
A rumor is current that the conflict between
the Russians and Af2hans arose In the follow
ing way: Some of the English officers stationed
at the Afghan outposts invited some Russian
officers ON the other side to breakfast.
The Russians were unable TO- accept the
invitation, but they sent an invitation to
the English officers. The latter accepted
and staid in the Russian camp until late at
night and then asked for an escort Gen. Roma
ron disguised some of his officers as privates
to accompany the escort with the object OF
obtaining news of the Afghan forces. When
the escort arrived at the Afghan camp one OF
the Russians was observed taking notes in his
pocket book. The Afghans tried to take away
the book, q struggle ensued, and a shot was
fred. from which side is not known. The Rus
slams hurried back to their camp, when their
troops were called to arms, and were advanced
aga nst the Afghans the next morning.
Gen Komaroff is already called the conoueror
Of the Afghans. Everyone is elated at his sue
