In their caucus on MOI day the republi-
can senator's agreed to place the Oklahoma
bin among those to lie considered, and, if
possible, passed. this session. The House
passed this bill seve al days ago with the
/ understanding that the Senate would give
1t its attention at once. The chief opposi-
tion to it in the House was offered by those
VINO were said to represent the cattle
owners. An attempt was made to amend
the bill, so that whatever rights the cattle
men now have in the te ritory would be
a nulled, and it failed. This indicated that
the cattlemen exert powerful influence.
The fact is, the only question seems to be
whether the cattlemea, or the thousands of
settlers who are waiting TO enter the terri
~, should occupy Oklahoma. Some time
ago it was urged that il would not be right
10 lake land that belonged TO Indians, and
which by treaties had forever been set
apart for their use That argument, how
ever, no longer has force The Creeks and
Seminoles. who owned the lands which are
Included in the limits designated in the
Oklahoma bill, have made an arrangement
with he government by which they
| relinquish their Claim to ths lands.
| The only opposition,3 therefore, to
the formation of Oklahoma terri
tory is that of the cattlemen, and they
have no rights whatever which the con-
gress is bound TO respect. They took leases
from the Indians, but witt the understand
lug that such leases had no binding force so
far as the vernmeut was concerned. They
| occupy ali of the really good lands Of the
20, 000, 900 acres which it is proposed 10 in
clode in territory, and they have made
their boast that they would defeat the bill
in the Sc ate. They have friends in that
body, but not enough to make their boast
| good.
There are many thousands of people
waiting to enter the territory. They are
encamped on the borders of Kansas, NJ s.
souri,, Arkansas and Texas. Some of the
Kansas counties are almost depopulated. If
| tie bill passes there will be q rush to the
new territory such as there has never been
into any other territory Of the country. If
it doe n 1t pass there is likely to be trouble.
The settlers will probably go into the terri
tory against tho pr test Of the government,
and il az attempt is made to remove them
there may be little war. If it is ques-
ton of preference between cattlemen and
set lers why not favor the settlers2

she might take as many words to say a thing by

Pi1ott's Confession.

The bottom has dropped out of the case
of the Times against Mr. Parnell and other
Irish home rule members of parliament.
Pigott has confessed that the letters which
he furnished the Times, and upon which
the Times based its charges, were forgeries
and that he forged them. Having made
his confession Pigott disappeared, and the
charge is made that the Times and the gov
eminent assisted him in eluding the detec-
tives who were watching him.
The attorney general stated yesterday
that he should not pursue further probably
the branch of the case which rests upon the
alleged letters of Mr.. Parnell and others.
1t is pretty certain that he will not, and it
is quite safe to say that he will not pursue
any other branch to any considerable ex-
| tent, because there is nothing startling in
any one of them. Pigott's confession puts
and end to the inquiry so far as anything
really important is concerned.
Pigott was the witness of the Times and
the government, and it is rather remark
able that he was permitted to escape, espec-
tally as there was every reason to believe
that he was guilty both of forgery and per
| jury. There will be popular demand
doubtless for an inquiry into the circum-
stances of his escape.
Mr. Parnell and the home rule cause are
strong ger now than ever before. The inves-
tigation has not caused Mr.. Parnelps health
to break down, as was stated few days
ago. 1t has not worried him much, be-
cause he has been conscious of his inno-
cence, which he has felt sure all along
would be shown clearly. If the home rule
cause could be passed upon by the popular
voice at once in England 1t would be found
that it has gained immensely.
The Times has suffered as much as Mr..
Parnell has gained, and it will continue to
suffer, be cause the people think that it
showed but little judgment in publishing
letters Of the origin of which it knew moth
ing. A statement appeared in one of the
London papers few days ago in which it
was stated that the Times had paid little or
no dividends for year, although the annual
average amo cunt which it had distributed
among its shareholders in previous years
was over 100000 The Times has learned
lesson which it will not soon forget. 1t
cost too much TO be forgotten soon.

An Irish baronet sailed for this country
some days ago. His object in coming had
nothing to do with home rule in Ireland,
but it had a good deal to do with home rule
in his own home. The fact is that his
daughter, disregarding parental authority,
had eloped TO America with his coach
man, aud he was following the couple with
all possible haste, in the hope of prevent
ing the marriage. The couple became man
and wife in Boston Sunday afternoon, how
ever, and when the baronet arrived, as he
probably has by this time, he could do moth
ing but vent his rage and then consider
whether or not be would forgive the foolish

Two important events will take place in
the Cameron family of Pennsylvania in
March. One is the marriage of Senator
Don Cameron's daughter, Margaret, to the
son of Millionaire Clark, of Clark's thread
notoriety. Miss Cameron, according to the
picture of her in one of the Washington
newspapers, does not affect those things by
which most women seek to show off their
beauty. Her dress, the style of arranging
her hair, and the absence of jewelry indi-
cate that she prefers simplicity in dress, aud
if the pictures Of herself and her mother
are good likenesses, she really appears the
older of the two The other important
event is the GOTH birthday of General and
ex-senator Simon Cameron. Mr.. Cameron
is wonderfully well preserved old man.
He entered politics sixty-six years ago, and
was United States senator when Mr.. Polk
became President. When he voluntarily
retired from the Senate, his son, J. Donald
Cameron, took his place. Mr.. Cameron
used to vote frequently with the democrats
when he first became a senator.
