Oklahoma or "Bust."

The scramble for virgin soil in Oklaho-
ma. /. T., began on the 22d inst. Fully
$1,000 people were waiting on the border
OF that small patch OF ground. Fast
horses, railroad trains. stages. and all
sorts OF private vehicles bore them into
the coveted territory at the earliest pos
sible moment. Ten thousand or more
will likely get possession of all the desir-
able land. and then they will have to hold
il against five times as many disappointed
men. Everybody IS armed with deadly
weapons. No government save that of tho
War Department exists. There is reason 20
fear, therefore. that much bloodshed will
result from the general turmoil before tho
rush is over and the country settles down

Proposed Organization Of the Neers
Race In the Uritcd States.

Chicago, October 2l.--John q.
Jones. a lawyer Of this city, who many
years ago strongly advocated the
forming Of a state aud national league
among his race, with n number Of
prominent colored. mon in different
parts Of the United States have agreed
to call conference OF the leading
men of their race from every state
and territory in the Union to meet
in Chicago next June for the purpose
Of forming national league. This
movement, he says, is not the work
OF men OF their race, whose aim and
ambition is to hold Office, but is for
the protection and elevation Of tho
en- tire race in the United States.
This organization, when formed, will,
il is claimed, largely aid and assist
their race in the southern states, and
will enable tho colored people all over
the country to work as unit.

THE MURCHIsON LETTER.
The Real Author and How the Letter
Came to be Published.

The Real Author and How the Letter
Came to be Published.
Los ANGELES, January S.-Mr. Osgood-
by, author of the famous Murchison letter,
whose identity was revealed yesterday,
says he did not, until few days before the
correspondence was made public, have any
conception of its Importance in politi-
cal sense. When he did, the thought of
the far-reaohing effects and possible con-
sequences to himself personally rather
alarmed him. Finally, however, after
conference with few confidential friends
including his two attorneys, P. @. Tooner
and W. A. Bell, it was determined to make
the letters public and on the 10th of Octo-
Der the letters were brought to Los Ange-
les by Bell, acting for Osgoodby.
They were placed in the hands of Judge
W. F. Fitzgerald, member of the republi-
can state central executive committee;
Henry I. Gage, late delegate to the re-
publican national convention, and Colo
mel Otis, editor of the Times, and these
three decided to publish the letters with
out referring them to any committee,
state or national, or any person, as the
was then far advanced and fur
ther delay was deemed impohtic. They
were accordingly published on October 2i
in the columns of the Los Angeles Times
and soon found their way to New York.
