WHAT MILL BE THE RESULT?

The little Oklahoma district will i'm
mediately fill UP to overfiowlng. The
overflow will not leave the country until
all the last west and in the outlet have
been opened. If the pressure was great to
open the Oklahoma district it will now be
ten times greater to open all the lands
contemplated by the Springer bill. Trouble
is likely to occur in the absence OF any
territorial government and conflicts with
the soldiers, and this may be to such an
extent that Harrison will be compelled to
convene congress for the special purpose
Of settling the matter.
The opening of the territory will compel
the five civilized tribes to give up part OF
their territory. The whites viii go on
their lands and it will result in general
break up. The present condition of things
can not exist for a long time, and the
sooner the Indians come to understand
that they can not maintain their autonomy
perhaps the better it will be for
them. OF course their lands Will
never be taken without compensation. The
opening up of the territory Will stlmu-
late business very considerably throughout
Kansas. 1t will have the effect, OF course,
to take some people out of Kansas. but IN
the meantime it will bring much larger
number in here. 1t will give market to
our people for their productions. and to
our merchants for their goods-not only
the merchants of Wichita, but of all the
border towns. Just now we haven't any
great amount of surplus produce to sell,
but the prospect is very excellent indeed
for good crop this year, and If things
should get in such shape that the people
could go in the Indian Territory, Kansas
could supply them. As many of the peo-
plo will be persons who have lived in Kan
sas they will, of course, more naturally
come here to deal 1t is also easier to get
to. 1t has been part of the policy OF the
people of Kansas here to promote inter
course between Kansas and the Territory,
with view to its effect hereafter.

and severe until yesterday, when not only
the hand bu5 half of the arm had become

Just Like Pork.

A friend of mine who used to have a
 house in Paris under the empire, and
 was well acquainted with all the artists of imperial France, told me apropos of the picture by Gerolne, exhibited in the American galleries, Q story that is worth repeating here. Every one who loves art must know the picture tor the engraving from the picture) representing "Moliere Breakfasting with Louis Qua torze." My friend happened to run into Geromes studio just after the canvas was completed. It was in it's frame and on the easel, and Gerome was chuckling in his saturnine way as he entered.
 What do you thinkY' said the painter,
 Il have just received the visit of an American richard, who has made me what he considers a great offer for my 'Moliere. He has offered me thousand francs head for it. have refused, as l would if there had been a flock of courtiers. cannot fancy selling pic ture as one would pork" The picture was sold for 30. .O00 francs.

A GLIMPSE OF CORK.
Sights Seen in n City of Ireland on .
 Bright and Bustiing Day.

Bright and Bustiing Day.
 Cork looked very bright and bustling the day we reached it. We had made some stops here and there on our way, mostly at out of the way, picturesque villages. and so deeply had their quiet impressed us that Cork, with its cars rat ting up and down the steep, stony streets, its noisy quay population, and all the hurry of the lower town, had the air of stirring metropolis. How it would strike us if we had visited it imm ediately after landing from the Cunarder and with the rush of Chicago and New York still fresh in our recollection l cannot say, but it impressed us when we did see it very favorably. While there were, of course, some evidences of the universal 'sbad times," there were many signs of undoubted prosperity Its connection, through Cove or Queenstown, nine miles distant, with America, accounts largely, think, for the latter. In the streets we noticed many shops devoted exclusively to the sale of American products, meats, fruit, tobacco, agricultural implements, sewing machines, etc.
 In the very gait of the people we fan cied we could see an American freedom and energy. And the contrast of this modern dash and life with the gray re- minders-centuries old many of them of bygone times that meet one every where is very impressive to the stran- ger. Exceptionally fascinating was it all to us, seeing it in the lingering pale twilight of the day that had the north in sky of tendcrest blue and the south in its balmy zephyrs. Old and weary as time itself seems Ireland in the rain, but the new morning, the rosy dawn of childhood are no fresher or fairer- nothing can be freshcr or fairer than | Ireland when the magic blue of her skies bends above her and the caresses of the south wind play upon her.
 Women in very ugly capped cloaks, but comfortably shod and trim of head servants and workingmen's wives-were bringing home basketfuls of marketing from the great English market" as it is called. Carriages waiting for their oc- 1 cupants were in limo outside the dry goods shops and bookstores; men of the coal heaver type were going homeward in groups, smoking and chatting cheer. fully among each other; bustling coun- trywomen with many an excited objur- gation dragged their dilatory husbands to the carts outside the public house doors; cabs and outside cars dashed madly along the streets; lights shone ir the shop windows and those of the hotels, and a melancholy man near the bridge was playing the air of "Bellews town Races" in manner that seemed tc have its effect on the feet of all who passed. And that was how ''the beauti full city" appeared to us on the occasion of our first visit.-Nora Creena in Chi cago Times.

Hunting a Coyote.

Pullman Superintendent Ellwood, of this city, Superintendent Tom Urquhart, of the Los Angeles division of the South ern Pacific. and Superintendent Beal, of the Atlantic and Pacific, met in MT. Ur- quhart's office at Mojave one day, and agreed to go hunting upon the Kern county desert for coyotes. They armed themselves with rifles, secured a carriage and driver, and started out early in the morning across a cactus covered plain. Very soon through the yuccas, they saw standing pensively a lone coyote. He was reflecting upon his sins, perhaps, or upon his hunger.
 ''Let me shoot! Let me shootr' said MT. Beal, excitedly, raising his gun, and Tom Urquhart gracefully yielded to his guest. Mir. 6eal shot and missed the coyote by at least forty feet. The coyote was a sensible animal, for he knew that the closer to the guns he got the safer he was. He did not seek to escape through the yuccas-he started directly for the wagon. MT. Urquhart is a brave man, but that coyote looked hungry, and he turned pale. Though he trembled, yet he leaped into the breach to save his crate aim, fired-and struck yucca one hundred yards to the right of the line of advance. The coyote still came on. It was a thrilling moment. The driver turned his horses and galloped off. the coyote in pursuit. The animal passed under the wagon in q 2:0S gait and dis appeared. Tho railroad men returned to Mojave, and they have not yet ceased to talk about their narrow escape from the ferocious beast.-Los Angeles Tribune.
