Senator Quay's remarks about him, but
they annoyed him nevertheless, and he

when he had no warrant for it. If he felt
aggrieved he ought to have come to me and
told me so, and we could have settled the
matter without difficulty. L would not
have treated him so.
HE WOULDN'T HURT QUAY's FEELINGS
81 would be the last man in the world to

QUAY NOT CoNCILIATED.
For his part after learning Senator Sher-

he had said. He cannot be diverted of the
idea that Senator Sherman had a great deal

and that his action was in violation of an
understanding with him, that Mr.. Gilkeson
should be appointed solicitor of internal
revenue. He declines to hold the represen-
tatives responsible for what he believes the
senator did. What makes Senator Quay's
anger 50 hot, is that 1t has been intimated to
him that the appointment of Mr.. Hart in
place OF Mr.. Gllkeson, is partly his punish
ment by the admi inistration aud ths Ohio
men for voting against Mr. Halsteai's con-

THREE TRAINS FROM WICHITA
WICHITA, KAN, April 22.-Three train
loads of boomers, numbering about 800
people, left here for Oklahoma this morning
over the Santa Fe road. A large number also
left by way of the Rock Island. Another
train has bsen wired for As every pas
senger car on the Santa Fe is in
use, an extra train has been made up of
cattle cars. Division Superintendent Tur-
ner of the Santa Fe says that it will be
night before the last of the Oklahoma spe-
cial trains will reach Guthrie. The number
of people going from all the railroad towns
in southern Kansas is far greater than was
anticipated. Many hundreds go down merely
to see the scramble, with no idea of remain
ing. 1t is believed that the stage line at
Pond Greek, on the Rock Island road will
be totally unable to accommodate The
crowds who will want transportation across
the sixty miles lying between the railroad
terminus and Lisbon.

dated Pond Greek via Caldwell, Kan, says
"At exactly noon the gates TO the promised
land were thrown open to about 5000
people on the old Caldwell and Fort Reno
trail. IL was one of the most exciting
times ever witnessed in the west.
The people seemed very much ex-
cited as they we're strung for miles
up and down the line. They
rushed in as though it was the only land in
the United States unoccupied. They moved
on quietly, everyone seeming confident that
they would get the special 100 acres that
they desired. Some were scattering to-
ward claims, but most of them are moving
rapidly toward the land offices. The high
water in the Cimarron river has subsided,
and no further trouble is anticipated

Maple sugar and syrup in large quantities
and of the finest quality have been brought
into the city for the past week. Said one
farmer when asked as to the prospect for
long and profitable season: "Nes, the pros
poets are the best they have been for many

running over. My syrup weighs over n
pound more TO the gallon than it ever haSin
former years. the general weight of s~p
being about 20 pounds TO the gallon. Sew
eral grocers in the city have told me that
next year they intend to bottle syrup and
send it in the west to the larger cities.

asked the reporter; lit looks as if there was

replied, and then by way of answer t. the

any who do, and don't believe there is
much of that business done in Vermont. No,

more gallons OF 'rirup' | would like to dispose
of. and with this practical remark the
