A TRIP TO EUROPE.

Anyone contemplating trip to Europe will naturally ask for a steamer that com pines the greatest speed, absolute safety with the best accommodations for comfort that can be obtained. The great twin screw steamers "Columbia'' and Augusta Victoria" of the Hamburg line, have in all these respects no rivals on the ocean to- day. They have two complete sets of machinery, are divided their whole length into two entirely separate compartments and have two bottoms. Their length is 464 feet, their engines develop the force of 12,5OO horses,l speed 20 knots an hour. They will land you at Southampton, Eng land, Havre, France, or Hamburg.

Plans of the FOreSterS.

The announcement that the Sovereign High Court of Foresters, in session in England had granted the demand of the loyal courts of this country to establish subsidiary high court here was not received with much surprise, as it had been expected. When the two repre- sentatives, one from the east and one from the west were sent to the high court they received instructions to ask for the privilege of granting a subsidiary high court in this country, and also to speak against graduated scale of contributions. It was just year ago that the high court of England rescinded the charter of the subsidis / high court of America that had been formed in 1884, because the word "white'' would not be stricken out by the subsidiary court in session here. This caused a disruption among the Foresters, and number withdrew from the protection of the high court of England. Court Silver City, of Meriden, is the only court that remained firm in Connecticut, though several of the members separated and formed Court Meriden. It is the subsidiary high court that was suspended by Eng land, which is being held at Minneapolis to form high court in America.

A RIOT OVER AN OIL WELL.
Rival Lessees Fight for Possession
of the Property.

of the Property.
PITTsBURG, April IA riot occurred
to-day over the possession of an oil we'll in
Marshal township, in Brush creek field. A
disputed lease was the cause of the trouble.
1t appears that Wesley E. Webber,
H. F. Wilson and w. E. Clark, oil
producers, leased certain portion of
what is known as the Lloyd farm in Brush
creek field, Marshall township, about twen-
ty-two miles from this city, on the Pitts
burg and Western railroad. He immedi-
ately took possession of the territory, but
had scarcely done so when the Clerack Oil
Company also put in claim for the prop
erty on duplicate lease.
POSSESSION NINE POINTS IN LAW.
Mr.. Webber had nine points of law on his
side and declined to conceie a single one of
them. Instead, he secured force of mon,
purchased a lot Of timber and prepared to
drill for oil. This morning when he arrived
on the scene he met a score of men en-
ployed by the Clerack Oil Company, who
Immediately set to work to remove the
timber and tools of Messrs. Webber, Wilson
and ClaIE from the land. This Mr.. Web0er
and his men resisted, and lively time
followed.
SEVERAL SCRIbfMAGEs.
All day scrimmages took place, and Mr..
Webber finally telegraphed for the sheriff
who started for the scene at o'clock this
afternoon with number of depu ties. Be-
fore they arrived at the well, no wever, the
Clerack faction had increased their forces
to fifty men and twenty horses, and the
Webber party was overpowered. After a
hot fight, in which a number of persons
were bruised, but no one seriously hurt, the
Clerack people are now in possession of the
well, and the Webberltes will resort to the

csnter.
1000 CAR LOADS.
II is said in railway offices here that
600 carloads of supplies for Oklahoma
have already been sent forward, and are
awaiting the onset at Arkansas City on the
border. Meanwhile there is steady gath
ering of pilgrims by railroads, but the
passenger business in the direction of the
new country is not yet commensurate with
the freight movement. The rush, however,
is perceptibly beginning, and will gather in
volume and energy throughout the week.
RISE OF THE RIVER.
The reports of the continued rise of the
Cimarron river continue to come in, and
this is threatening to cut off those boomers
who are awaiting upon the northern bor-
ders the long withheld permission to pass
over and take land. Such circumstances
but tend to darken the prospects, and it is
believed here that the opening will be
marked by much violence. The poor squat
ters. with their slow teams, who months
and years ago marked out their intended
homes within the promised land, declare
that they will fight for them. There is,
however, no more present talk of burning
bridges and blocking railroads. Meanwhile,
troops are being quietly disposed in strength
to do police duty with the United States
marshal at points of settlement and regis
tratIon.

Amalgamated Association Wants q
Vacation of Two Months.
PITTsBURG, PA. April 15.-The Almagam-
ated Association of Iron and Steel Workers
will ask that all iron mills be closed for two
months during the summer, just as are the
glass factories. This move has been decided
upon by a majority of the lodges, and meets
general with favor among the iron work
ers. Two months during the heated term,
when it is really too hot to work before the
furnace, would give the iron workers
chance to take rest, and the employers
TO make repairs or rest, as they might de-
eide. In addition it is argued that the shut
down would be an excellent move, bene-
fetal to the trade and to all concerned. The
iron workers made a SIMILAR proposition to
the manufacturers last year, but
it was rejected. 1t is now stated positively
that the amalgamated people will insist on
its adoption. The suspension would throw
q, 900 men in this district out of employ
ment.

DOCK HANDS ON A STRIKE.

now willing to Compromise.


CLEVELAND, O., April 15.-The coal
handlers on the docks fronting the river
are on the war path to-day. Last season
they were paid IA cents for loading coal
into vessels. Early this season they
came to the conclusion that they
should have 16 cents. At the same
time their employers decided to
reduce the price to IL cents The old men
laid down their shovels and new men were
put to work. This morning about 100
strikers, carrying sticks. which they used
for canes, assembled at the mouth Of the
river and marched from dock to dock.
They ordered everybody to quit work, and
their command was respected from one end
of the river to the other. At
the Pennsylvania railroad docks
the worknen resumed operations
shortly after the strikers disappeared, as a
squad of policemen arrived to protect them.
At o'clock in the afternoon all the docks,
except those belonging to the Pennsylvania
company, were deserted. The strikers are
now quite willing to accept IA cents, having
abandoned the movement for 16-cent rate.

A Big Crush OF People at the First

PARIS, April 15.-The Panama canal lot
terry drawing took place to-day. The COM
pany drew the first prize. There was a
great rush for the exhibition lottery bonds,
a crowd bivouacking in the street the whole
night in order to be in time for the opening
of the sale this morning. The subscriptions
amounted to several times the total value of
the bonds.
The liquidators Of the Panama Canal
Company have informed the shareholders
of that concern that they believe that re-
issue of unsold lottery bonds of the company
under par would realize l2,500,000 francs
and save the canal, but that the govern
ment is reluctant to propose such meas
ure, fearing that parliament would not con-
sent TO its adoption.
