The mother and her son became separated

went into camp and built fire. He waited
all night for the absent mother and as soon
us it WAS light he started 10 find her. and
after several hours search found her torn
clothing, bones and hair. There were plen-
ty of bear tracks where the remains were
found
News comes from Abequin, thirty miles
west, that a two-year-old boy has been miss
ing several days The entire population
turned out and this morning to search for
him. Fears are entertained that the
bear has eaten him. He WAS ALSO
gathering pinons. Bears were plentiful on
the Chama forty miles west of town. Two
cowboys attacked a huge cinnamon bear

Reported Agreement Repeated from the
state Department.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-There was no
effort made at the state department to
deny or even to evade an answer con-
corning the report that an agreement
had been entered into by the United
States and Germany respecting the
presence of war vessels in Samoan waters.
After a consultation with his father and
with the German minister, Count Arco,
who was at the state department in the
morning, Mr.. Walker Blaine stated that
an amicable understanding between the
German and American governments had
been entered into.
England" said Mr.. Blaine, twill un-
doubtedly follow the example of the
other two nations. The three treaty
powers will each keep but one vessel at
Samoa until the termination Of the con-
ference at Berlin. The Alert, the small
American gunboat now at Honolulu,
will represent our government at Apia,
while the Sophie, the German corvette,
recently ordered to Samoa, will repre-
sent Germany. 1t Is probable that the
Calliope, the British gunboat which left
Apia for Sydney during the great hurri-
cane in Apia harbor, will represent Great
Britain there"
Mr.. Walker Blaine had conference
with Secretary Tracey and Commodore
Walker, chief of the bureau Of naviga-
ton, this morning, concerning the
Samoan agreement, and as a result Of it
a cable dispatch was sent to the COM
mander of the Richmond, now off the
coast of Brazil, countermanding her or
ders to go to Samoa. 1t is stated off,
cially at the navy department that the

For many years past, the attention of
people in the older and Eastern States,
who are looking for cheaper lands and
more room, has been 80 persistently di-
rected to the West and Northwest, that
it has been forgotten that several of the
Southern States have large areas of fine
lands still unoccupied. Tennessee, Ar

which hold out many inducements to
the immigrant, among which are short
and mild winters, fertile soil, numerous
streams, and abundant supplies of tim

forward in material progress. Manufac-
tories are springing up in many places,
railroad facilities are being rapidly ex-
tended, and schools are multiplying. II

THE crowds who are going crazy over
Oklahoma, as well as running the risk Of
getting their heads broken, evidently
haven't stopped to consider the fact that
while the Oklahoma lands are rich and
we'll adapted to agriculture, they are in
little superior TO lands over which there
is no dispute. The Inter Ocean says that
thousands Of anxious seekers after
homesteads in that much Wanted region
will suffer keen disappointment, because
of the narrow limits of the open terri
tory, which is by no means adequate to
the demands Of those on the scene at
this moment, yet toward which others
are tending with an expectancy that is
insane. 1t will not be the free scramble
many look for. Though the proclama-
ton fixes the hour of noon for the open
ming of the lands on the designated day,
it is not to be hoped there will be toe
ing of the line waiting the word Ego" on
a fair start. Moreover, the original
boomers will have decided advantage OF
all late corners, and it is right they
should have, since 1t is due to their stub
born persistence that the government
was compelled to take action in the de-
cision ola question that bad been in
allegiance since 1866.
