WASHINGTON, April il.-lt appears the
presidents proclamation opening a pOr-
tion of the Oklahoma lands to settlers was
more sweeping in its terms than was in
tended In the matter OF excluding persons
from entering upon the lands before the
time named in the proclamation. Under
its terms army officers have been compelled

establishment Of new land offices. 10 re-.
lIeve these an official order was made to-
day by the war department for their ad

disposition TO appropriate their lands, and
that IL will be continued no longer than Is
absolutely necessary. After the first
migration TO the Oklahoma country is
over, the military forces should then scout
the Cherokee outlets and require all per
sons unlawfully there 10 move on, either
back TO Kansas or over into the Oklahoma
lands.n
The secretary In another part Of the let
ter says he deems the settlers are entitled

other reasons for granting this permit that

those In Kansas who must pass through
the Cherokee outlet at disadvantage. No
movement will be allowed under this per
nit until full authority and instructions
shall have been received by the military
having charge Of the matter. The recon-
mendations of Secretary Noble were laid
before the president by Secretary Proctor,

BUTTE, April li-[Special 10 the Inde-
pendent IA meeting Of the board of trade
committee and the Northern Pacific eugin-
eers in regard to the Plpestone Pass survey
was held this afternoon In the Office OF N,
z. Ray. There were present on behalf OF

X. Maillett, Henry Williams and @. w.
Goodale. The Northern Pacific represen-
tatiyes were J. w. Kendrick. chief engIn-
eer of the Northern Pacific, Engineers
McHendry and Haven and Agent McCaIg.
Mr.. Kendrick said that after careful exam
inntion OF all the routes and consideration
OF Rays report on the Plpestone, he had
definitely determined to locate the Northern
Pacific line to Butte over the Homestake
pass..r This pass Is few miles north OF the
Pipestone, and Mr. Kendrlck stated that IL
is eighty feet lower at the summit. He also
made the statement that IL offers route
between Butte aud Three Forks six miles
shorter than the pipestone pass, and can be
built at a saving Of $4,000 over the Pipe
stone route. The result Is entirely accepta-
BILE 10 the business men OF Butte, as the
Homestake and Pipestone passes are only
four miles apart, and a line over either OF
them will make the jefferson and Ruby
valleys tributary to Butte, and open up q
hitherto undeyeloped mining district.
Mr.. Kendrick left at 2 o'clock, intending
TO go straight through To St. Paul. He in
formed your correspondent that he had
ordered the rails Tor the line by telegraph.
and Intended TO have the road from Three
Forks to Butte In operation Nov. 20. He
said he chose the Homestake route because
II was the best and cheapest, and denied
with great emphasis that any improper
means were used TO locate the main line OF
the Northern Pacific by way Of Mullan
pass.

The Kansas School System.

The Kansas City Globe says: Prof.
George w. Winans. state superintendent
of public instruction of Kansas. was in
the city yesterday. He said that there
had been phenomenal improvement in
the school system of the state within the
past three years. The great improve
ment in western Kansas was mainly due
to the rapid settlement of the frontier
counties, and for the first time in the his
tory of the state every county this sea-
son has been represented in the list of
summer teachers institutes He said
that there was probably not township
in any county of the state that did not
have school house, and that the num-
Der of school districts was increasing at
. very rapid rate. In the more settled
portions of the state he reports that i'm
provements are constantly being made in
the school service. In many of the best
cities of Kansas the high schools have
reached such degree of perfection that
their graduates are granted the privilege
Of entering either the state university at
Lawrence, or the state normal school al
Emporia, and pursuing higher course
