POLES STILL FALLING.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE wires came
down with swish and rush upon the
cobble stones on Broadway this morning
faster than the rain drops. In every direc-
ton as far as the eye could reach were
gangs of men hacking and cutting, as if
their lives depended upon 1t.
Crowds of curious people watched the
crowds work and they cheered every time
a pole crashed across the thoroughfares.
The contractors had their hands full in
keeping venturesome pedestrians and
drivers of vehicles from being crushed
under the falling poles. broadway pre-.
sents queer appearance IN the absence OF
the mass of wires Everything looks bare
and rather deserted but greatly improved.
There will be no stop now and the route
will be quickly cleared for the companies

their own wires and poles.
Tonight the upper portion OF the city
from Fourth street to Fifty-ninth street is
still shrouded in darkness on account of

IMPORTING WORK PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE secretary
of the treasury recently received a letter
inquiring whether the tranfer by manu-
facturers from any foreign country to the
United States of their plant, machinery,
work people and interests or any part
thereof, with view to permanent settle
ment, would III any way conflict with the
statutes relating to alien contract labor,
and also whether such of their machinery
as has been in use would be entitled TO free
entry.
In response the secretary called attention
to the provisions of section of the act ap-
proved February &c, 1885, which provides
that it shall be unlawful for any person.
company, partnership or corporation, in
any way whatever, to pay the transporta-
ton or in any way assist or encourage the
importation or migration of any alien or
aliens any foreigner or foreigners into
the United States, under contract
or agreement, parole or special.
express or implied, made previ-
Gus to the Importation or migration
of such alien or aliens, foreigner or for
eiguers to perform labor or service of any
kind in the United States"
The secretary said that as no facts are
stated which would exempt the importa-
ton of the work people" referred to from
the provisions of the act, it would seem
that their transfer in the manner proposed
would be violation of the law. In an
swer TO the inquiry as to the free entry of
the machinery referred to, the secretary
said there is no law under which free entry
can be authorized.

THE PENSION CLAIMANTS.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Assistant Sec
rotary Bussey today issued the following
circular letter to pension claimants and
attorneys:
with reference to motions for recon-
sideration of pension claims that have been
already adiudicated on appeal to the secre-
tary Of the interior, the department holds
now, as heretofore, that the right of an in
cumbent to review or to reconsider a
predecessors decisions does not relate to
questions involving more discretion and
Judgment, but extends only to mistakes in
matters of fact, arising from errors in cal
culation or to palpable errors of law, and
to cases of rejected claims in
which material testimony is afterwards
discovered and produced. This rule
is deem1d by this as by former admins
trations to be essential to the establish
ment OF well defined legal precedents and
to putting an end some slime to profitless
litigation of appeals involving the same
case or claim. Where the incorrectness of
former adjudication is so manifest upon
a review of evidence thar it is not a mat
ter of dispute the department will not
refuse to do justice because the error is of
long standing and has been sanctioned by
subsequent action. A faithful observance
of the foregoing rule by claimants and by
attorneys alike, will greatly facilitate the
business of the department relating to
pension claims"

OKLAHOMA POSTOFFICEs.
Active Preparations Being Made for Proper
Accommodations in that Country.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE postoffice
department officials are making active
preparations for the immediate erection OF
two postoffices in Oklahoma, one at King
fishor and the other at Guthrie. Several
posoffice inspectors are now on the ground
examining proposed mail routes into the
country and between all important points.
For the present all mails will enter the
country from the north over the Atchlson,
Topeka & Santa Fe and from the south
they will be carried by regular government
contractors 1t is expected that the mail
facilities win equal the needs of the set
tiers.
Mail for the land Office towns and the
principal points will probably 90 forward
on the very day or at least on the day fol-
lowing the one on which the presidents
proclamation goes into effect.
Assistant Postmaster General ClarkSon
said today that probably twenty-five post
offices would be established in the new
territory within the next thirty days. If
no better accommodations can be had
postmasters will supply themselves with
tents or whatever else can be made avail
able for shelter

ing. A capricious appetite, heartburn,
puzzling nervous symptoms. increased

the abdomen between meals, and fiasulence

this harrassing complaint Two thing on

Hostettes's Stomach Bitters, and persist

being adopted cure is certain. Taken
Immediately before or after meals, this
great stomachic promotes secretion of the
gastric juice, the natural solvent of the
food. The nervous and bilious symptoms
consequent upon chronic indigestion dis
appear, as the complaint gradually yields
to the corrective and invigorating influence
of the Bitters. Appetite returns, sleep be-
comes more refreshing, and ae a conse-
quence, the body is efficiently nourished
muscular power increases, and the mind
grows sanguine. Use the Bitters for chills

THE LAW MADE CLEAR.
Commissioner Stookslager Again Explains
How to Secure Oklahoma Lands.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Commissioner
Stockslager has made public letter con-
corning homestead entries in Oklahoma
addressed to Mr.. d. D. Halstead, Purcell,
]. L. Ii runs thus:
in reference to a memorandum of five
questions received from you under date of
the 10Th inst, have to state that it is not
usual to answer hypothetical questions,
but in view of the anomalous conditions
affecting the public lands II Oklahoma L
will state as follows, viz:
''First-A person desiring to become an
actual settler under the homestead laws
may initiate his claim of entry at the dis
trict land office after properly selecting
and examining the land desired. in which
case he is allowed six months from date of
entry within which to establish his act
ual residence on the land, or if
he so elect, he may initiate his claim by
actual settlement on the land, which may
consist of some act or acts connecting him
self with that particular tract claimed
Said act or acts to be equivalent to an an
nouncement Of such, his intention and
from which the public generally may have
notice of his claim. Thereafter he is al
lowed three months within which to make
his claim of record by entry at The district
land office. Which of these two methods
should be chosen is matter for the par
tvs election according to the circum-
stances and his own judgment of which is
most desirable.
Second and third-Of bona fide settlers
or claimants, the one whose settlement or
entry is prior in time will have superior
right when inception of the
claims Is simultaneous - that is.
at the same time precisely
The legal right is equal and the question
cannot be decided according to equities
and the land awarded TO the party having
superior equities if any; if none then it has
been the practice to put the land up be-
tween the claimants and to award the
right of entry to the one bidding highest
for the privilege.
''Fourth-The act Of March = 1889. en-
acts that until said lands are opened for
settlement by proclamation of the presi-
dent no person shall be permitted to enter
upon and occupy the same, and any person
violating this provision shall never be
permitted to enter any of said lands or ac-
quire any right thereto. The PRESIDENT
proclamation of March % calls attention
expressly TO this provision and directs that
it be strictly enforced tsee circular OF April,

wagons but that are leading either an ex-
ira team or milk cow or two. Numbers
have quite bunch of stock and several
droves of work mules and horses are going
through. The household effects and the
people themselves show no signs of report
ed poverty; in fact, if these people succeed
in getting land at all in the crush, they
will be able to live and farm in compare
tive comfort. Their live stock is in noticea-
bly, good condition. There is every evil
dence that the population along the west

AN INSANE MANS QUEER FREAK

NYACK, n. Y, April ia sad case of
| insanity, which. it is hoped, may prove
| only temporary, has just developed at
West Hampstead, in the central part OF
Rockland county. The Blanchard farm
has for some time been under the manage
ment of James Blanchard, one of the sons,
only II years of age, his father having
died several years ago. The Blanchard
family numbers several members, and all
are of good character James has for
some time worked very hard, and in
addition to that has been troubled with
severe attack of dyspepsia. Being slender
in build and not Over-strong, these cir
cumstances preyed upon his health, and a
few days ago his mother and sister noticed
that he talked incoherently and acted
strangely They watched him closely and
with considerable anxiety, but did not
notice that he grew any worse. and kept
the matter to themselves.
The later part of last week young
Blanchard went one morning to the stable
took from one of the stalls valuable
young horse, harnessed him up as if going
driving, and then led him out to back
lot There he took large knife and drew
it across the animals throat, killing him
as he would slaughter a hog. The young
man left the horse where he fell, and some
time afterwards two brothers of James
came along and saw what had been done.
They then took charge of the unfortunate
young man. who by this time showed
many signs of insanity. Physicians from
Nyack and Spring Valley were summoned
He has now been taken to the asylum for

HABeAs CORPUS PROCEEDINGS,

WACO, TEX, April 17.-In the federal
court today John Gray, who has been in
the McLennan county jail since last sum-
mer on a charge of OBTAINING the United
States mail on the stage running between
San Angelo and BalIinger. got out writ
of habeas corpus. This case came up be-
fore the grand jury in the federal court at
the November term of ISIS, and it was
proven beyond a doubt that the offense
alleged TO have beeh committed was
done in the western district OF
Texas. and therefore no indictment was
found. The marshal Of the western dis
trict was notified, but he never came after
his prisoner Upon hearing the argument
this afternoon, Judge a. p Mccormick
ordered the prisoner released. Upon leav-
! ing the court room. however, Gray was ar
rested on capias from the district cour,
of Tom Green county, charging him with
robbing the passengers on the san Angelo

THEY ARE A FAILURE.
Gunboats of the Same Pattern as the New
Cruisers Don't Work

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Recent reports
of the maneu1ers of the British naval fleet
contain some matter not entirely reassur-
ing with respect to some OF our new YES
sells. In these maneuvers about six vessels
of the Archer type participated. The re-
suit was disagreeable surprise to Sir
William Reed the chief constructor of the
admiralty The significance of this report
to naval officers here lies in the tact that
the new gunboat Yorktown is patterned
after Archer and Will carry the same calibre
and weight of ordnance.
Failure has also attended the efforts of
the British constructors to build a twenty
knot ship, of which the navy department
here is attempting to build two under di-
rection of an act of congress.
