The Omaha Expedition at Ten Sleep
Greek.
BAY STATE RANoHE, Wyo., May 27-ICor
respondence of The Bee Our party, under
command of Cal Casey, Of the Arcade hotel,
Omaha, arrived here tonight from Casper,
Wyo., via Buffalo, making the trip Of $50
miles in FIVE days, including one days stop
at Buffalo. The other party, under COM
mand of General Hawley, arrived three
hours after, they coming via the Lost Cabin
route. Before leaving Casper 1t was ar
ranged that both parties should take the
routes above named, and to form junction
here to-day and then proceed through the
entire oil fields in Big Horn BASIN, Salt
basin, Rattle Snake basin and Shoshone
basin. From here on General Hawley will
take command, assisted by Col Casey, OF
Omaha, and Major Il. J. Cole, of York.
Hawley and Coles being well acquainted
with the country will pilot the party to all
the points of interest pertaining to the oil
fields of this country, and, with the assist
ance of A. A. Richardson, the oil expert,
they propose to show the country up In its
true light, good or bad. Should the showing
prove satisfactory there will be some very
heavy investments made, and active opera
tions will be commenced at once to bring the
Oil to the surface.
We are enjoying ourselves catching trout
and killing antelope on the way. To-mor-

AN ALABAMA PROTEST.

The movement started by certain re-
publicans OF Alabama, to establish a
league somewhat exclusive in its char
acter, has been measurably successful.
There is an organization that claims
some strength, but it is already en-
counterlng a vigorous opposition from
republicans in Alabama who are not
identified with it, and some of whom,
by reason Of their color, can not be.
The aim Of this league is to further the
cause Of the republican party in the
south, chiefly on the industrial question.
1t proposes to break the democratic
ranks by drawing to itself manufac-
turers and capitalists interested in in
dustrlal enterprises who have hitherto
acted with the democracy, but who are
unfavorable to the policy of that party
regarding the tariff. 1t is believed TO
have obtained recruits from this source,
and in order to carry out the purpose it
was thought necessary to exclude col
ored republicans from the league. How
ever sJrong the interest of demo-
Gratis in Alabama might be in maintain
ing protection, it would not carry them
into an organization which tolerated
the membership of colored men.
Herein is the source Of the difficulty
which this league Is encountering, and
against the recognition of which pro-
test endorsed by fifty republican clubs
composed of white and colored men has
been submitted to the president. This
protest warns the president not to be
misled by the league, which is charged
with having 'yile and wicked scheme
whereby they seek to destroy the party
to promote their own selfish purposes
1t is declared that the league denies
the protestants civil and political rights
by using the word "white," thereby de-
barring them from participating
therein. The league is denounced as
un-republican aud calculated In its
very nature to bring on strife and dis
cord among the races.
Thus it is that at the very outset OF
the movement, designed to make a
breach in the solid south, it Is autago-
nized by the old-time republicans OF the
state In which it originated, both white
and coi0red. Itis impossible to say with

LATER Intelligence from Johnstown,
Pa, and other towns in the Conemaugh
river valley confirms the first apprehen-
sions that the deluge was the worst dis
aster that has befallen this country.
Not only has the destruction OF prop
erty been enormous, but the loss of
life is certainly known to mount
up into the thousands. The destruc-
tion of several villages in Connecticut
by the bursting Of dam, two or three
years ago, is still fresh in mind, but the
horrors of that occasion were not a
comparison to the frightful calamity at
Johnstown. 1t now devolves upon the
people of Pennsylvania and other states
to relieve the distress sure to follow.in
the Conemaugh valley, ana it is safe to
predict that the heart of the country
goes out in sympathy for the unfortn-
nate region.

THE first indictment ever served
under the provisions of the interstate
commerce act, has been found at Chi
cago against several we'll known rail-
road officials for manipulating rates last
fall. The maximum penalty is fine of
five thousand dollars and the outcome
of the suit will be followed with consid-
cradle interest. If an example be made
of several of these wrongdoers who hold
themselves above the law, it is safe to
predict that the Interstate commerce
act will be properly respected.

The Sioux commission will begin its
labors at tho Rosebud agen cy to-day.
its conference with the Indians will be
eagerly watched by thousands OF in
tending settlers, anxious to secure a
slice OF the eleven million acres Of land
involved In the negotiations. Judging
from the temper of the Indians, and the
generous terms offered by the govern
ment, there Is reasonable certainty
that the commission will be successful,
and large area OF fertile land added
to the public domain within few
months. Success means an additional
fifty thousand to the population Of
South Dakota this year, and a corre-
spending increase Ia the material
wealth OF the country.

lators in 1870, and is mostly wild, with few
exceptions, where school lands have been
taken ana cultivated by thrifty class of

THE forty per cent freight cut an
nounced by the Burlington & Northern
has fallen like bombshell among west
ern railroads. The situation is critical
for them. If the reduction be put into
effect, decentralization of freight rates
through the west and to the Pacific
coast is likely to follow. What new
agreements and combinations will be
formed to offset the alleged joining of
hands of the Burlington & Northern
with the subsidized Canadian Pacifi C
remains to be seen.

any degree OF certainty what view
OF the situation the president win take.
1t has been supposed that he regarded
the movement represented by the
league with favor, and IL has been
stated that the leaders in the move
ment have received very friendly con-
sideration at Washington. But IL Is
hardly to be supposed that he will
wholly ignore the representations of the
thousan6s of republicans who are not
and can not become members Of the
league, and who, by virtue Of their past
and present loyalty to the party, are
quite as much entitled to be heard as
any others. There would certainly be
nothing gained in alternating these
men, however effective the league
might become in its particular di-
rection, for the old-time republicans
must still be counted upon as absolutely
necessary to republican success in any
portion OF the south.
This issue, much more significant than
may appear at first thought, suggests
the difficulties that any plan for rescu-
ing the south from democratic domina-
tion must encounter, aud gives warrant
to the doubt whether that most devoutly
to be wished consummation can ever be
brought about any sort of political
scheme. 1t will come in time. Moth
ing is more certain than that the south
will not be always solidly democratic
But the change will be effected, largely
at least, by other than mere political
agencies, some of which are now in
process of development.
