FIGHTING FOR A HOME.
The Trouble and Delay Growing Out of
the Contests In Oklahoma.

News from Oklahoma is eagerly read in gov
eminent circles, and little that is official il re-
ceived from the government agents and Off
eials there. This dearth Of official news is ac-
counted for by the fact that the telegraphic
facilities there are Of a very meager character
and that private business is given precedent
over government dispatches, as it pays better.
The government rate is by law much lower
than the commercial rate and for this reason
tee government so far has had to depend on
the newspaper reports for information as to
how business is progressing Among the few
messages that have reached the Interior de-
partment was one from the land officials there,
asking that there be Immediately forwarded
To Guthrie and King Fisher contest dockets."
ms class OF stationery was not sent
10 The land Offices when thew were opened
along with the other official blanks &c as it
was not thought that contests would be so soon
initiated. This demand now, Commissioner
Stochslager says, marks the beginning OF q Sc
rIes OF contests which will practically involve
every entry In the territory. The business of
the land Office is now two wears behind hand
ana the additional work which these contests
from Oklahoma will entail will mt the buai
hess OF that Office still further behind. In the
ordinary course Of business the contests from
Oklahoma Will not be reached within three
years. In the meantime, the expense of the
contestants in taking testimony, &c, will be
very great, which. Commissioner Stockslaoer
says, means TO many of them utter ruin. The
sharp rivalry. however, that exists between the
claimants will. he thinks. tend to bring out All
the evidence in the cases, and when they are
finally decided. the rightful owners will receive
patents In larger percentage Of cases than
when the claims are less valuable. and do not
give rise 10 such rivalry or incite the contest
ants to bring out every phase Of the case and
testimony bearing on il.

Gates the marvellous growth Of the country and
represents the progressive spirit of the times.
The STAR employs its complete mechanical

news resources in providing each day for its
readers a newspaper thoroughly representative
OF the times. Its enterprise and progressive

a DAMAGED DYNAMITE Gun.
The Accident on the Vesuvius Yester-
day Causes a Naval Sensation.

The accident to one of the dynamite guns of
the yesuvius yesterday during the tests for
rapidity of fire has caused quite little sensa-
ton at the Navy department. A hollow iron
cylinder was placed in the middle gun and
when the air was turned on it exploded within
the tube, doing considerable damage to the
breech of the gun. In discussing the acct
dent to-day some officers were inclined to the
opinion that this accident meant a serious de-
feet in the principle of firing large charges of
high explosives. The mechanism of the guns
has been thoroughly tested and SO there is not
thought TO be any defect there. Officers shake
their heads and remark that they would prefer
TO snip On some other vessel.
OPINIONS OF TIE BUILDERS OF THE SHIP.
Mr. Charles Cramp, of the firm that built the
'esuvius, was at the department this morning.
| and when asked about the accident. said. un-
concernedly, that the shell had crushed in from
behind He did not think that the collapse of
the shell could have occurred il il had been
/ loaded with the usual amount of sand. or the
charge OF the gun cotton that will be used in
/ action. "
A representative Of the firm was also NJ the
| department.. He said to STAR reporter thai
the accident was solely due 10 carelessness in
manipulating the gun. The gun was loaded at
| the breech, but the block had not been securely
locked AS 1t should have been, thus letting the
charge sag. This she'll he said, was made of
cast iron, while those ordinarily used are of
| steel. The gun was damaged somewhat, but
can be easily repaired He did not think that
that the accident meant any defect or fault in
principle and need not have happened if a
little more care had been exercised.
e. The EVENING STAR is everywhere recog-
nized and admitted to be, in every quality, the
leading and favorite newspaper of the National
Capital, alike in the counting-room, the work.
shop, and the family circle. Pretty much
everybody in the District reads it regularly. II

THE BOGUS DUDLEY LETTER.
Was Their Tampering With the Mails?

Col W. W. Dudley told STAR reporter this
morning that he had received dispatch from
Van Pelt, his correspondent in Anderson, Ill,
an alleged copy of letter to whom was pub
hshed yesterday, stating no one had seen the
letter received by him; that he had not told
any one what the letter contained. and that il
had remained in his possession since he had
taken 1t from the post-ofaice. Col Dudley had
called the attention Of Mr.. Rathbone, the chief
PosTofnce inspector, TO the matter, and he has
promised 10 have the case investigated with the
view OF aseertaining whether the latter had
been tampered with while in the mail.
