moved from the minds OF the Messrs. swine.

That they are dead and their bodies buried
there is hardly room to doubt.
A SAD ACCOUNT

from her husband yesterday. dated at Pits

account Of their vain search for the missing

heart bleed and will never be fully impressed
upon the minds o. the people who read or
hear the wOful tale.

OKLAHOMA.

Lively times will be experienced
among the Oklahoma Boomers during
the next few days. The Presidents
proclamation throwing open the country
to settlement has been modified and a
week ago there was said to be twice as
many people ON the borders than could
be accommodated as homesteaders.
This will lead to trouble and perhaps
bloodshed; but the more serious feature
of the situation is the stated determine.
ton OF bands OF the boomers to destroy
railroad bridges and track leading into
the Territory, the night before the lands
will be open for settlement, from fear
that newer arrivals will make settlement
on lands which they themselves already
claim. If anything of the kind is at
tempted the extreme law should be
meted out and with government aid if
necessary. Aside from the loss Of life
which might result, the deliberate de-
termination to destroy valuable property
of Others to accomplish personal ends
should be effectually squelched or pun.

precedent for similar acts in future when.
ever to few men the occasion may
seem to justify it.

A MARES NEST.

The dread that the school fund Of the
State is to lose 500, 200 through the ex.
ecution of the Reclamation Bill"
passed by the Legislature last winter
ought not to exist. There is no reason
for it. 1t was founded on nothing more
than the words of one in the Assembly
who did not understand the situation,
and whose whole statement was consid-
cred so absurd that it was not thought
worthy Of denial. The fund from which
the money is to be borrowed could not
be reduced by reason of a constitutional
restriction. Moreover the Bonds of the
State which are required to replace the
idle money are to bear four per cent. in.
terest, thus increasing the school funds
available for distribution $4,000 per
year. This was well understood when

SAMOA DISASTER,

Now that the full details of fthe naval
disaster at Samoa are known, the idea
of court of inquiry to see upon whom
blame for the loss should be fixed, and
which was talked of so much at Wash.
neton recently, will be abandoned. The
desire for an investigation arose princi.
p,lly from the fact that the English ves-
sci Calliope succeeded in leaving the har.
Dor during the storm and thus saved her.

officers of the other vessels were careless
and neglected to provide means Of es.
cape. Hot detailed accounts of the at.
fair show that this was not the case.
All the vessels in the harbor kept up
steam rs long as it was possible to do so
and it was only by reason of her i'm
mense engines that the Calliope avoided
the fate which befel the other vessels,
German and Americans alike. The
German ships though superior fighters to
ours could do nothing to save them.
selves, aud we're as completely at the
mercy of the elements. 1t is evident that
no human power could have saved the
lost vessels. All was done that possibly
could be done under the circumstances.
The event serves to show what superior
propelling powers may do in time Of
need, and teaches that war vessels should
be constructed in every particular to
withstand the destructive forces of ma.
ture ~ well as those of man.
