JUST BEFORE THE RUSH.
The Situation Among the Impatient
Oklahoma Boomers Yesterday.

The borders Of Oklahoma were well picketed
last night by the thousands of eager land
seekers from all parts of the country, who
have been focking toward the promised land
for weeks, and who began their final struggle
when the Presidents proclamation opening the
territory went into effect at noon to-day. The
Arkansas City contingent reached the Oklahoma
border at shutdown Saturday night, and some
of them dashed into the land of promise, only
to be pursued and brought back by Capt.
Hayes cavalry. Saturday night the boomers
spent in wild jubilation, singing, dancing and
diseharging their rifles and revolvers. Yester-
day morning the big camp was deserted and
the hundreds of boomers sought along the Dor
der favorable spots from which to dash for
ward to their claims at noon on Monday
As the caravan wound through the Ponca
Otoe, and Usage reservations on their way to
the Oklahoma border, it was PLAIN the Indians
were in disturbed frame of mind, and not at
all pleased at the influx of settlers. They were
al well armed. and made an ostentatious dis
play Of their rifles.
The danger Of bloodshed, when the rush
came at noon Monday, became more threaten
ing yesterday. and Capt. Hayes consulted with
other officers as to the advisability of seizing
all arms found on the boomers. What decision
was reached was not made known last night
Marshal Needles has instructed his deputies
to destroy all liquor found in Oklahoma.
PckpOckets have been reaping rich har-
vest among people bound for Oklahoma on the
trains running out of Kansas City.
A rumor has reached Fort Smith that the
stage running between Wagoza and Walker, on
the southern border of Oklahoma and on the
bank OF the Canadian river, was held up and
robbed late Thursday night. The driver es-
capped with wound on the arm, and the pas
sengers, two men and boy, were captured by
the outlaws.

a NEW SOUTHERN PARTY.
What Mr.. Nacusker Says of His Talk
With President Harrison.

A Charleston, s. c., special to the Phila.
delphia Press says: Colonel F. W. Macusker,
a gentleman of wealth and influence, who has
frequently represented Georgetown in the
state legislature, has left the democratic party
to build up a white protectionist party in
South Carolina. He has just returned from
Washington, where he has been in conference
with several Of the leaders of the republican
party. In an interview Saturday he said:
Il saw the President while was in WASH
ington, and did not ask him for an Office. I
think the President is anxious to put only good
men IN office. i think that his idea is to build
up republican party in the south that will be a
respectable party, provided he can find the
timber. In other words, believe that he in
tends TO turn his back on the old carpet-bap
and scalawag element which has brought the
party IN such disrepute in the south. and give
the offices 20 respectable white men. In nv
Judgment President Harrison wants to build
mp new republican party in the south. III ht
can get good timber / believe he will use il
but If every white man who accepts Office
from the president is 20 be ostracised, il ma,
be possible that he will not be able to get the
timber he wants.

THE DANMARK's PEOPLE SAFE.
All Taken of! Without Accident by the
British Steamer Missouri.

cablegram from Lisbon received by Funch,
Edye 4 Co., in New York yesterday afternoon,
justified the hopes they have all along adhered to
regarding the passengers and crew of the derelict
steamer Danmark. The dispatch brought the
welcome news that the missing people had been
picked up by the British steamer Missouri,
part of them landad at the Azores and the rest
taken to Philadelphia. No one of those on
board the Danmark was lost or injured.
Forty-two Of the crew of the Danmark have
arrived at Lisbon. Mr.. Baben, the first officer,
who is among them, reports that on April the
Danmark's shaft was broken. The next day
the disabled steamer met the steamship Mis-
souri,, from London March g. for Philadelphia
and Baltimore. The Missouri towed the Dan
mark until the latter seemed to be about to
sink. At first the Missouri was only able to
take aboard twenty of the Danmark's passen-
gels, but after having jettisoned a portion of
her cargo she found Accommodations for all
the crew and passengers of the Danmark. The
Missouri then proceeded to the Azores and left
there the first and second officers and 800 pas
sengers. She then continued her journey to
Philadelphia with $40 passengers and the re-
mainder of the crew. The captain and three
engineers of the Danmark left the Azores on
the 14th for London.
The Danmark was about 800 miles from New
Foundland when the accident happened. 1t
was due to the bursting of an engine pipe,
which killed the engineer. named Haas, and
badly damaged the ship. The shat. afterward
broke and these accidents rendered the vessel
entirely helpless.
The steamer Missouri is now eight days over
due at Philadelphia. Her arrival is looked for
at any moment. She may have run short of
provisions and coal, and in that case is likely
to put into Boston or New York.

Bishop Newman on the South.

Charleston. S. c., Special to Philsdephis Press
In February last Bishop John P. Newman de-
livered an address to the Virginia conference of
the Northern Methodist Church, in the course
of which he said the purest American blood was
to be found in the south, and he did not know
but the people of the south ought to thank God
they had been born south of the Potomac The
north would have to engage in death grapple
with the foreign element, which was fast domi-
mating legislatures and municipalities and it
might be that the south would have to march
forth for the preservation of our dearest ma
tiond institutions from foreign encroach-
ment
The Ne,cs and Courier took occasion to con-
gratulate Bishop Newman upon his political
change OF heart, and while holding that his dis
covery OF the real character of the southern
people was not original remarked that Bishop
Newman wou' / have been a wiser and better
man If he had visited the south long ago. The
Ne'cs and Courier further remarked: There
Is no better way in which he can do pennance
for the political mischief he has wrought in
the past than by preaching in season and out of
season upon the love of the south for the
Union"
Bishop Newman has replied to that in the
following letter: MY eyes have ever been
opened to the real condition of things south of
the Potomac. 1t was not necessary for me to
visit the southern states 10 correct nv impress

but to the future. You have the race question
| TO settle as to the whites and blacks We have
! the race question to settle as to the American
! born and the foreign-born. With you it is a
| question with your own people; with us it is

easier task. The south has not been overrun

This is what meant by the purest American
blood was to be found in the south and that
because of this it might be that the south would
have to march forth in defense of our dearest
| institutions. / have been saving this in the
north for the past twenty years ON many public
occasions, and say so now. In all my tour in
the south | spoke words Of peace and unity
and since my return north have spoken like
words to President Harrison and to our states

men OF this generation in Florida. in the Caro-
Ilnas, in Georgia, in Virginia, loyal to the
Union OF the fathers. / suggested to the adj
minlstration to put men in Office in the south
OF high repute. who will promote southern
/ prosperity, intelligence and religion.

ROTATION IN OFFICE.
Congressman McComas' Own Story by
Way of Illustration.
-respondepee New yors Tr,bun.

Washington Correspondence New York Tribune
Said Representative LOUIS Z. MeComas. Of
Maryland, the other day to several of his DEM
ocratic compatrio.s, who were bewailins the
outgoing of some Of their appointees from the
snug places which a benefcent democracy had
provided for them under the Cleveland admin
adm inistration
Il can't for the life Of me see what you fell
lows have to complain Of. You ought to accept
the situation gracefully; not merely because it
is the inevitable, and the fortune of war, but
for the reason that rotation in office is q uni
versal law of nature observed even by the wild
denizens of the forest"
Being called upon to explain. Mr.. McComas
narrated the following simple but instructive
history:
a friend Of mine" he remarked. event off
for weeks shooting in the Shenandoah Valley
and upon his return gave me several amusing
incidents Of his expedition. One day, said he,
i felt quite tired during the afternoon, and lay
down III little nest among the bushes near a
stream. with nv gun beside me. i had slept for
u little while. when l was awakened suddenly
by a loud thump upon the ground. caused. ap-
parently, by something falling from consider
able height. The sound required quite regu-
larry at stated intervals of about half a minute
each. and appeared to comet from thick wood at
a little distance from the spot where was lying.
My curiosity was thoroughly aroused, so crept
cautiously through the bushes, dragging my
gun after me. Presently discovered the cause
of the disturbance. There, right in front of
me, stood a tall poplar tree, or rather the re-
mains Of one. for the top of it had been torn
of about forty feet from the ground while the
diameter Of the remainder was about five feet
near the roots. From the top of the trunk
large coon looked wsrily out for a second and
then jumped down, with resound-
ing thud, upon the ground, taking the
fOrty-fOOt leap quite as a matter of course. I'm
mediately upon reaching the ground the coon
made bee line for a hole in the roots Of the
tree. disappeared, and presently emerged again
at the top. when he again proceeded to take
the flying leap, repeating this curious perform
ance until grew tired Of watching him. This
was too much for me, so / skirmished round.
got several farmers together, and we all pro-
ceeded IN posse comitatus to the spot, with
dogs and guns and axes. Well, sir! we cut
down that tree and split it up the middle and
what do you suppose we found? The trunk
was hollow all the way up from the roots. and
Ill be burned if it want packed chock full Of
live coons just as tight as you could stick 'em.
Then we understood the whole thing at
glance. There was one additional coon for
whom there wasn't enough room, and when he
fought his way into the hole at the roots of the
tree. he just forced the whole heavy column of
live coOns above him upward, and the top one
had to leap down and out;' it want the same
coon that / saw jumping all the time, but
different one at every trip, they all took it in
rotation "

BISMARCK CONCILIATORY.
Points He Voluntarily Comedies in the
Samoan Discussion.

A Berlin cable special says: Count Herbert
Bismarck has prepared a statement for the
Samoan conference as q basis for discussion.
1t has been submitted to and approved by Sir
Edward Malet, the British ambassador, who was
in all probability consulted while it was being
drafted. If the American commissioners ac-
cept the statement, the conference ought not
to last more than week. Germany comedies
the principle of absolute non-interference in
Samoa, and the natives are to be left free to
choose as their ruler either Malietoa, Tamasese
or Mataafa. No claims for compensation for
German subjects are mentioned in the state
ment, and practically the work of the confer
ence is limited to defining explicitly the powers
OF consuls in regulating trade and shipping,
the boundaris of and rights over Pago Pago
and other yictualling stations, and the forma-
ton of a tribunal for the protection and trial
of foreigners. The foreign Office here Judges
that Prince Bismarck's censure of Consul
Knappe, and his declaration that Germany does
not desire to NEEDLE with the internal affairs of
Samoa, combined with the proposals to be
placed before the Samoan conference, furnish
ample proof that Germany earnestly wishes to
conciliate the American government. At the
same time, it is regretted that the American
government ignored diplomatic etiquette in
sending delegates who are personally prejudiced
on questions to be laid before the conference
Nothing of this feeling, however, will be shown
toward Messrs. Bates and SewalL
