Instead of Leaving the Country ~ Ordered
tl.oy arc ConoosIlns 1'hosasoivos.
ST. LOUIS, March 18.-The latest news
from Oklahoma is that many of the boom
ers instead of leaving the country as
ordered by Lieutenent Carson, who is in
command of the United States troops are
taking to the woods, and are concealing
themselves in camps, especially in the for
ests along the north fork Of the Canadian
river. This has left at Oklahoma Station
only those who are entitled to remain by
direction, or by beiug employed by the
Government or by the railroad company.
Indian scouts are securing the woods and
thickets for these camps, and soldiers are
scouting the country in every direction,
and wherever boomers are found they are
ordered to leave and get over the line ss
apidly as possible There has been but
little opposition to the soldiers but some
of the boomers claim that by the cesslon ol
the country by the Creeks, the land is pub
lie and that the military have no night TO
drive them from it.

THE PARIS SENSATION.
Interesting Sketch of the Great Copper
CyndIcofa

Interesting Sketch of the Great Copper
Syndicate.
NEW YORK, March 18.-The failure OF
the Compton d. LscOmpte and SOciete
Des Metsux created great sensation here
and broke the stock market badly. II
was thought that the aid given the copper
syndicate by the Bank of France snd the
Rothschilds would be sufficient and no
failure was expected.
Comparatively little can be had here as
70 the outlook The ComtOir 'Escompte
bsi a.-s,,i+nl- of eoo, Geo. eoot en,ss,r-Va 500,
0d0. 900
The two companies borrowed $40, 900,
600 from the Bsuk of France several days
ago and IS, 600, 600 more Saturday from the
same source and the ROthschilds. The
liabilities are enormous and all France will
sufferer.
The copper syndicate began in Novem-
Der. 1887. when the average price of Lake
Superior copper was only l23 cents, and II
soon ran up to III cents. In May, 1883,
the French syndicate made a contract Tor
the entire product Of the Lake Superior
mines for three years at 134 cents per
Mound. with half the profits of the syndi-
cate's sale to manufacturers OF the metel.
The sales, at 164 cents, were very large,
and the mine owners realized 10 cents Tor
the product.
By the terms of the contract it was not
to expire until May, 1891. but the syndl-
cate soon realized that 1t had more ON lts
hands than it had anticipated. Since
early in 1888 the supply of copper has
baen steadily increasing. At the opening
of that year it was 45, 900 tons, and 1t has
since increased to fully 10000 tors. 1t
has been increasing anywhere from 5,OOO
10 5000 tons month. The loss on the
syndicate's supply of $50, 600 tons at the
market price OF Chill bars few days ago,
Il is stated, was fully 100000. Itwould
reouire $4,000, 900 more to carry through
the deal as originally proposed. The great
combination has, therefore, been endeavor-
inc to secure a modification of the terms
made last wear with the American mining
companies, and it is averred, ON what
seems to be good authority, that 1t has sue
ceeded. 1t is said to be probable the
nrice will be reduced two cents a pound,
or To III cents. A bauk with a capital OF
S15 400. 0OO is TO be started in London by
fine syndicate, and it will issue debenture
bonds to the amount of So, 600, 1000.
The Society des Metaux was fonnded IN
1881. and has a capital OF $lO, ,OOO, oOO ana
has 81, 900, 600 Of bonds.

an account of the disappearance from thai

friend of the girls:
Miss Mckee was engaged to be mar
ried to man named Reed, who was al
iron worker at Brown & Sons IRON Works
They were to be married, bat the parents
objected to the marriage and Reed sud
denly disappeared Shortly after his dis

months old Since the birth Of her child
Miss Mckee has not gone out very much
and, in fact, was seldom seen. She,
however, made vigorous Efforts TO find
the man named Reed. l do not
think that was his right name, snd often
thought his actions rather shady. short
time sgO she got trace of him IN Wheeling
and they kept up a correspondence for
soma time. He finally wrote to her that
he would marry her if she would meet him
in Wheeling on Wednesday night. She
left here Wednesday morning. have not
heard anything from her since"
The article states that a report bad
reached the city that the body of a young
woman and baby had been found at In
dian Creek, West Virginia, and that they
are supposed to be Miss Mckee and h,r
child. 1t is supposed that the girl, failing
to find Reed, could not bear the shame OF
being the mother Of an illegitimnte child
any longer and being deserted By its faith
er in despair she and the child died to-

murdered. The account stated that James

Special Telegram 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, PA, March 18.-At $50
this morning a large portion of the town
wss awakened by the shr1l blowing of sew
eral engines at the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad depot. the whistleiDg was al
most immedi ltely followed by the violent
ringing of the fire bells and cries of fire.
II was soon learned that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad depot was on fire, and in
only a few minutes large crowd had
gathered at the station. 1t was
fully ten minutes before any
water was thrown ON the building. By
this time the fire in the freight building
was beyond control and the water was
turned upon the passenger depot and the
adjoining houses, which were smoking
greatly. The buildings in the vicinity aie
mostly old frame structures, which have
beer built for long time, and 1t was
thought that no small portion of that part
of town would burn.
The second story of the depot proper is
used as a residence by w. II. JamisOn, an
official of the road. Everything was taken
out through the east windows and
moved to a place of safety across
the street, after which the building was
flooded with water. The building, al
though almost destroyed, as far as future
occupation, is still standing. Almost
everybody, as soon as it was known that no
one had been hurt and almost allthe valua-
BILE had been saved, expressed themselves
a. pleased that the fire had taken place,
although the road suffers considerable loss,
as all the freight was consumed.
