The OKLAHOmA RUSH.

Soldiers Colony Arrives

Facilities for Settlers-The Old
Soldiers Colony Arrives.
ST. LOUIS, April l6.-The latest news
from the border is to the effect that
troops are being withdrawn from the
neighborhood OF Caldwell and other
points on the Kansas line, and the
boomers are rapidly getting ready to
cross the Cherokee outlet to the northern
boundary of Oklahoma proper. Then
they will move along the cattle trails and
will reach the border the latter part OF
this week and will be ready to rush
across the line on the 22d.
The advance guard of the old soldiers
colony, principally from Ohio, Maryland
and West Virginia, has reached Wichita
and will start for the Territory Wednes-
day. They will bridge the Cimsrron
river, which cannot now be forded. High
water in the Cherokee strip and Okla
homa will cause much delay and trouble
to the boomers. Many of those who
have been hiding in the valleys of the
Cimarron and North Canadian have been
washed out and their tents and stocks
swept away.
WICHITA, Kan, April 16.-The old SOL
diers' colony left here this morning for
Oklahoma. Over 700 covered wagons
were in line, and over 1000 boomers.
They will endeavor to locate together
in the country around Lisbon.

FROM THE ORIENT.
Consul DENY and the Pre-
mier of China.
THE FINANCES OF THE MIKADo
Japs are Actuated by the Most
Friendly Feelings Toward
the United States.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, April 16.-The steamer
Oceanic arriving to-day from Yokohama
and Hongkong, brings Chinese and
Japanese advices up to April LIST. The
Nichinichi Sh,mban says that the follow
ing telegram from Seoul, Corea, dated
March 22d, has been received. "Mr.
Denny, the advisor to the Corean King,
having received $4,000 from Ii Hung
Chang, has decided to resign his post
and return home.
"The news that the United States has
agreed to revise its treaty with Japan on
the lines desired by the latter power. is
receiving extended notice from the lead
ing Japanese papers.
The Maenidii Shimban expressed the
opinion that while America, from geo.
graphical point of view, ought to be the
first among western powers to treat Japan
with friendliness and liberality, the char
acter of the people of the United States,
and the spirit of their foreign
policy also, point to the same
result. England and Germany
are doubtless friendly toward Japan, but
with America rests the palm of giving
effect to her liberality. America has
helped Corea to achieve her independ-
ence; has interfered between powerful
Germany and helpless Samoa, and Am
erica, among all the treaty powers, alone
returned her share of the Shimonoseki
indemnity to Japan.
The article declares that this last and
crowning act, on Americas part, is q
worthy and fitting sequel to her consist
emily friendly proce sdings in the past.
The Japanese budget for the current
fiscal year has been published. Follow
ing are some of the principal items !;
Land tax, AZ ,000, 900 yen, included in the
taxes for ordinary revenue, which amount
to 6S,O00,000 yen. The grand total
of the revenue is seventy-seven millions.
Three million yen are required for the
expenses of the imperial household, and
two hundred and fifty-two thousand are
to be expended for shrines. Depart
ment of foreign affairs one hundred
and seventy-one thousand. legations
and Consulates 6S5 900. Total expend-
itures in the War Department, 12,097 900
yen. Total expenditures in the Navy
Department. 7,150,000. Department OF
Education, ,080, 900.

scOrCHED NOT KILLED.
The Sugar Trust still Thriving II
Spite of Law suits.


New York, April 15.-Suit was re-
Gently brought against the American
Sugar Refining Company of San Fran.
cisco, in the name of the people, and
upon the same allegations used in the
action against the North River Sugar
Refining Company. 1t was discovered
that the American Sugar Refining Com
pany had assigned to Theodore A..
Havemeyer, Henry o. Havemeyer and
Charles Sneff. Under the circumstances,
of course, the case of the people in San
Francisco must fall through, for having
no property by reason of the assignment,
a receiver cannot be appointed, and the
company will possibly be run quietly
by the Hayemeyers and Sneff.
This leads to the supposition that the
Sugar Trust, at least in its original form,
is thing of the past, and that the ver-
dict against the North River Company
scared the Trust people, and it Is pre-
eumed that all the refneries have put
themselves in the same condition as the
American. Though nominally dead, it
is evident the Trust in point of fact is
very much alive, as evidenced by the
recent rapid advances in prices of sugar
of all grades.

Card Prom '. 4. nrown.

EDITORS HERALD: Several OF the
newspapers have seen fit to circulate the
purport and substance of that infamous
libel circulated against myself and my
business by the Bakers Quion because 1
did not see fit nor find it to my interest to
employ Union men. My restaurant and
bakery has been denounced by them in
their libelous circulars as o scab institu-
ton, where flies, ETC., first feed upon the
embalmipg establishment next door, and
then come and feed upon my pies, bread,
etc.
Now, sir, desire to brand this as an
infamous falsehood, without a scintilla of
truth, and for the verifcation of which l
respectfully invite the inspection of the
public. In the next place, deem it my
duty as a citizen of this city to set the
example that man may have and en-
Joy the privilege of employing such help
as he may desire, and which meets his
best interests and wishes. In a word,
shall the Bakers Union run my business,
or shall be allowed and protected in
running the same as l may deem best
Will the public of this city submit to be
dictated to by bakers unions or any
other union as to whom they shall en-
p oy or where they shall buy their bread
and meat, the great necessaries of life
If so, the sooner man gets out of the
country the better. / regard it matter
of public policy that myself and others
shall patronize whom we please and on
such terms and conditions as best suit
our convenience, regardless of trusts or
unions, and that no unions have the
right to interfere with the rights and pre-
negatives of others. And l sincerely hope
that the public will give my place fair
and impartial inspection before passing
an unfavorable opinion upon myself and
business, in consequence of those de-
graded, libelous handbills devised to
injure me because l refused to let them
run my business. j. A, BROWN,
