The Oklahoma question was considered
finally at g. cabinet meeting, to-day, and it
Ia reported the Presidents proclamation
will be issued this afternoon.
Cramp & Sons have notified the Secretary
OF the Navy OF their agreement to the con-
ditions on which the yorktown is to be
accepted.
The charges fled against Governor Wolf
ley, OF Arizona, in the Senate are three
fold. The three charges embodied are as
follows: Extorting money on information
gained in confidential relations; fraudulent
surveys; and q technical charge relating to
materials used by Wolhey in surveys in the
territory. Wolfey's profession is that OF
civil engineering.
The first charge made was at the instiga.
ton OF Colin and Brewster Cameron, OF
Arizana, who own large tracts of land in
the territory, is considered the most seri-
Gus. They employed Woldey Tor six weeks
in surveying and clearing up a title. He
charged them 81, 500, OF which $500 were
for expenses. The matter was finally com.
promised for 500 after Wolfey offered to
submit the matter to arbitration.
The general impression is that his nomin.
alton will be confirmed at or early date, as
the territorial committee does not seem to |
consider that q case has been made out
against him.
A. L. Morrison, formerly OF Chicago, is |
said to be selected for the Governor OF New !
Mexico. He is the man who, alta meeting |
Of Irishmen in New York, started q move
ment during the last campaign for the
adoption Of the American flag as a Republi-
can emblem as an offset to the Democratic
bandanna. Morrison's friends say he has
lived long enough in the Territory to make
him native, therefore he is within the
home.rule requirements which the Prssi-
dent is following in his Territorial appoint.

something in recognition OF M~orrison's
services in the campaign. |,

Robert V. Bett, who, to-day, was nomi.
mated to be Assistant Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs, was born in Maryland and
is about 45 years old. He served during I
the war with credit until it's close when he |
was appointed to the responsible position I
by the war department. In April, 1882, '
be was transferred to the interior depart
msnt and appointed Chiei, OF the Indian o
division In the Office OF the Secretary, {
which position no has since held. His .
thorough familiarity with Indian affairs .
gained by close application and intelligent :,
study, has been great and acknowledged in Il
the service to Secretary Kirkwood, Teller, q
Lamar aid Villas, under whom he served,
and each personally urged his appointment j
upon the high ground OF merit and fitness.
Bett has always been q consistent Republi-
can. I
The Postmaster General, to-day, acting
upon the recommendation Of General Su.

ice, appointed the following named '

1883, and Terrill in 1886. Pepper is

railroad,
General Superintendent Bell, in speaking p
OF these changes, said that they were made =
solely in the interest of good service. The =,
men who are to-day reinstated have been q
Tor many years identified with the railway b
mail service, and it's efficiency is largely ig
due to their ability and energy. The resig- a
nations Of the outgoing superintendent h
were requested, with the assurance that q,
there was nothing known to the superin.
endent preiudicial to their good name.
