THE OKLAHOMA LANDS.
Commissioner Stockslager Makes a State
ment of Interest to Settlers

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES stochsiaSer Makes a state
ment of Interest to Settlers.
WASHINGTON CITY, April l3-Commis-
sioner Stockslager has written letter to
Senator ingalls, regarding Oklahoma mat
tiers, in which he says: "The act of March
=, 1889, provides that no one shall be per-
mitted to enter or acquire any right to any
of the Oklahoma lands to be disposed of
hereunder, who violates its provisions by
entering upon and occupying the same prior
to Il O'clock, noon, of April %, 1889, the
date fixed in the presidents proclamation of
March %, 1889, for the said lands
to become open to settlement The
statute makes no exception to this
provision l am inclined to think however,
that when person was already within those
lands at the date of the approval of the act
by proper authority his presence there
should not be regarded as a violation of this
provision of the act. The PRIMARY jurisdic-
ton to act upon applications to enter rests
with the district land officers, and settlers
may present their applications for entry to
them with proper proof OF their allegations
Should they refuse to permit an entry the
settlers may appeal from their action, which
would bring the application and proofs be-
fore this office for adjudication of the case.

LONDON, April 13-In the house of COM
mons last evening Stuart, Gladstonian MEN,
Der for Hoxton, asked Bslfour whether the
circular sent to the Irish police directing
them to furnish information as to the doings

Balfour replied that he had made it rule
to neither admit nor deny any allegations
that might be made in regard to alleged se-
cret circulars
Parnell demanded that the chief secretary
make a straight answer to the question put
to him Balfour's refusal to explain implied
that explanation involved something he was
ashamed Of. Hear, hear. The use made Of
thecircular, hecontinued, proved that thegov-

Parnell also referred to the use of battering
rams to enforce evictions in Donegal He
protested that their use was not only an act
of cruelty, but Of barbarity.
