ST. LOUIS, March ls.-The latest
news from Oklahoma is that many of
the boomers, instead of leaving the
country, as ordered by Lienter ant
Carson, who is in command of the
United States soldiers, are taking to
the woods and are concealing them
selves in camps, especially in the for
rest along the north fork of the Cana
dian river. This has left at the OklahO-
ma station only those who are entitled
to remain by reason of being employed
by the government or by the railroad
company. Indian scouts are securing
the woods and thickets for the camps
and soldiers are securing the country
in every direction and wherever boom
'ers are found they are ordered to leave
and get over the line as rapidly as
possible. There has been but little
opposition to the soldiers, but some OF
the boomers claim that since the ces
sion OF the country by the Creeks the
land is public domain and that the

okIaboma and the CnerOksss.


WAsHINGToN, March 1S.-The fact
has Already been noted that the presi-
dent cannot put the land laws in oper-
alton in Oklahoma until after July l
because the appropriation was not
made immediate. Whether there was
design IN this is not known, but the
administration seems to be satisfied
that it is in this condition. The appro-
priatiOn for the Cherokee commission
may be expected in a few days. There
is, however. a point about this commits
sion which has scarcely been consider
ed. The law provides that the
commissioners shall be appointed to
treat with the Cherokees, but it is not
known that the Cherokees will treat.
Word has been received here from
Tahlequah that unless the majority OF
the commission is composed of men
who recognize the Cherokee title and
are disposed to allow a fair price &C
cording to the lands real Valne, the
Cherokee nation will ignore the com
mission. 1t is said that objection has
been made to Major Warner as one OF
the commissioners because in his
speeches upon the Oklahoma bill hC
denied that the CherokeeS have such q
title as they claim to the strip.
Notwithstanding the objection, Ma
| jor Warner will be appointed. Tit
Cherokees are reported as saying that
| they will not object to treat if the Othel
| two men of the commission are al
right, but they will refuse if the ma
| jOrity of the commission holds to Ma
| jOr Warmers views on the title.

generally accepted as correct the Trib-

that there was no truth whatever in
the report. He does not believe his
friends have succeeded in effecting any
compromise and intimates he cannot
trust his enemies to deal faithfully with
him. He also said that there was not
the slightest chance of Mcdonald be

president announced the appointment
of the following select committee on
the, April centennial celebration in

Voorhees, and Eustis. Sherman called
I'D the proposed amendment of the
rule requiring resolutions that call for
information from the executive de-
partments to be referred to the ap-
propriate committee. He said that the
adoption of such resolutions without
inquiry sometimes involved very large
and unnecessary expenses and that
such change of the rule was desir-
able. voorhees, opposed the change of
rule. He understood that no assent to
it had been given on the democratic
side of the chamber. He called atten-
ton to the fact that the government
was within a few weeks of closing its
first hundred years. OF history under
the constitution and that during that
century of national life no such rule as
that now proposed had ever been
found necessary. After long de-
bate the rule and amendments were
recommitted to the committee on rules
and after a brief executive session the
senate adjourned.

Cadet Vacancies.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The sec
Rotary of the navy sent out yesterday
the usual notices to members of con-
gress who have vancies at the naval
academy to make their nominations of
candidates who will be permitted to re-
port on the 10Th of May for examina-
ton. There are now forty-seven va
cancies and forty-one more will occur
in May. On account of that number
of cadets completing the six-year
course only one cadet is allowed to each
congressional district and its repre-
sentative has the selection of the can
didate. Neither the president nor
secretary of the navy nor senator have
anything to say in this matter and
therefore applications to them are USE
less. There are no vacancies at large
for the present and none will occur
until 1890, and then only one, unless
some casualty interfores. The candi-
dates nominated to fill the vacancies
above referred to must be not under
fifteen, nor over twenty years of age
when they report for examination and
must be actually residing in the dis
tTict from which they were appointed.

FREMONT, O., March IL, 1889.
MY DEAR SIR thank you for the
privilege of uniting with the New York
citizens committee in their patriotic
and charitable work in behalf of the
disabled and destitute soldiers of the
late cOnfederacy. The time is plainly
drawing near, if it has not already
come, when justice to its defenders
will require the national government
to expend much larger sums than have
heretofore been appropriated for the
support OF the men who saved 1t. The
sacred obligation to the union soldiers
must not-will not-bo forgotten nor
neglected, especially by those who have
shared in the fullest measure the pros
perity which has come from the ser
vices and the sacrifices of those who
stood by the government when
it was impeTiled, but those
who fought against the ma
ton cannot be denied our relief
Their disabled and destitute comrades
are left to the generosity and bensfac-
tions of their more fortunate fellow
citizens who wisely forecast the inspir-
ing future of our country. Confeder
ate soldiers and their descendants are
to share with US and our descendants
the destiny of America. Whatever
therefore we, their fellow citizens, car
do to remove the burdens from theiI
shoulders and to brighten their lives il
surely in the pathway of both human
ity and patriotism. With my contIi
button to the enterprise 1 beg yon tt
accept also my best wishes for its sue
cess. Iremain sincerely.
