Tie Baltimore Sun thus summarizes the
Oklahoma situation
In declaring the lands lately acquired by pur-
chase from the Seminole and Creek Indians
open for settlement on and after the hour of
noon Of the 22d of April next, the President but
partly satisfies the expcctant throngs of ''boom>
ers'' who have collected near the coveted pos
sessions ready to rush in and locate in the new
Paradise And yet the action of the govern
ment is calculated to allay excitement by max.
ing it certain that in due time, and in regular
order, the lands will be parceled out among the
settlers and the pursuits of civilized life estab-
lished in the midst Of the surrounding tribes of
peaceable red men. 1t has been stated that the
delightful climate and extraordinary fertility
and plcturesqueness of this new country have
been the cause of the unprecedented rush OF
would be settlers to the scene, every one in the
hope of having first chpice. Great difficulty has
been experienced in restraining the disposition
of the boomers TO bear down all the legal
barriers opposing their DESIRES but the President
in his proclamation is careful to provide an adj
ditional safeguard in the warning he gives, ex,
pressly declaring that no person occupying
these lands before the date designated evil ever
be permitted to enter any Of the lands acquire
any rights thereto" Moreover, the officers of
United States are required to strictly enforce
this provision, SO that the impatient ''Doomers'
will be obliged TO await patiently and go in
orderly. 1t is the western half of the domain OF
the Creek Tor Muscoee) nation which that tribe
has conveyed to the United States, while the
! Seminoles have conveyed their undivided in
terest. The proclamation expressly declares
that no other parts of the lands Of the Indian
Territory but those acquired from the Creeks
and Semnoes are TO be considered as open to
| settlement The nations, therefore, occupying
| other parts of the Territory will continue their
| fishing and hunting and drawing rations from
| the government as usual with the additional
advantage of having a booming civilization
in the heart of the Territory. Through the
| Oklahoma lands runs the North Canadian river
along beautiful valley which is the Canaan o.

1t Was Yellow Fever.

Dr. Daniel, president of the Florida state
board OF health, has declared that the death of
Mrs. Chas Demont, of Sanford, Fla. was from
yellow fever. She had been sick for two weeks
and her health had been bad for months. The
case was not of virulent or infectious type,
but was sporadic. There are no other cases in
the family and the house is isolated, and all
precautions have been taken. Sanford has
voluntarily enlarged her people from leaving
Tor hfteen days, and has prohibited traffic from
D p. m. to 80 a. m. There are no fears Of an
epidemic. Under the new health laws every
point in the state is kept under close watch on
reports OF doubtful cases. On requests from
citizens the state health officers visit the town
and make an exhaustive examination. The
Sanford case is the first one this year. The
state board has ample funds for prosecuting its
work, and more would be readily appropriated
If needed. The board is composed Of the best
medical and sanitary experts in the state
clothed with almost despotic power.
Surgeon-General Hamilton, of the Marine
hospital service, left Washington last evening
for Jacksonville, Fla, to confer with the state
board Of health in regard to measures for pre-
venting the introduction or spread of conta-
gious diseases.

Churchill Contradicts Chamberlain.

New York Tribune London Cable.
Mr.. Chamberlain has written a long letter in
reply to the charges against him in connection
with the Birmingham election. He alleges, but
does not prove, that no binding compact ex-
listed between the iberal-unionists and the to-
ries to accept Lord Randolph Churchill for Q
candidate. He has against him the positive
statement of Sir Joseph Sawyer, of Mr.. Row.
lands, and of other local tory leaders. For him
appears only Dir. Powell Williams, who devils
for 1lr. Chamberlain in politics. Lord Ram
doiph himself has been telegraphed to-he has
been fishing in Scotland-and replies that the
allegation that he would not accept an invita-
ton to stand is absolutely inaccurate, and that
Mr.. Rowlands statement is quite true. So Mr..
Chamberlain will have TO write another letter
He and his friends, by way of pouring oil on
the troubled waters of Birmingham, have
passed resolution that the recent victory 10
mainly due to the liberal-unionists. The tories
who think that they polled four out of the i've
thousand votes given TO Mr.. Bright, received
this in a temper which you can imagine. Thus
1t becomes more and more probable that this
quarrel may spread far beyond Birmingham,
and may result in an open collision between
Mr.. Chamberlain and the tories. The liberals
accordingly look on with a smile which threat
ems TO become grin. For these and other
good reasons the liberals are spending their
Easter holidays in contented spirit

this morning the primary election of the demo-
cratic party has been in progress at the usual

SHowMEN's TRICKs-Some DAYS ago two
showmen came here with troupe of trained
goats, dogs. mice, &C., and gave a show at the
cOlored Odd-Fellows' hall. on Columbus street.
between Wolfe and Wilkes streets. They took
board at the clearinghouse of Mrs. Moore, col
ored, on Cameron street, near the Washington
and Alexandria railroad depot. The show did
not pay well, and being behind in their board
bill, they drove off in their four-goat wagon.
and left the trained dogs and cage of white
mice with Mrs. Moore as security that thew
would come back and settle up. This morn
ing, just at daybreak, they came to the rear
fence at Mrs. Moore's yard, broke off a plank,
and calling the dogs, made off with them up
the road to Washington. Mrs. Moore screamed
police" and murder" but the dogs and men
got off before assistance could be obtained
The showmen left behind little trick poodle

He Lost the Fun of the Joke.

From the Boston Youths Companion.
A laughable but rather embarrassing case of
mistaken identity occurred the other day in one
of Boston's largest retail stores. gentleman
who is little too fond of joking entered the
store for the purpose of meeting his wife at q
certain counter. Sure enough, there stood .
lady dressed, to his eve, at least, Just like the
woman he was after.
Her back was turned and no one was near
her, SO he quietly approached, took her by the
arm, and said, in a voice of simulated severity.
We'll, here you are, spending my money 40
usual, ehI'
The face turned quickly toward him was not
his wife's; ii was that OF an acrid, angry, KEEN
eyed woman of about fifty years, who attracted
the attention of everybody in that part Of the
store by saying in loud, shrill voice:
No, / amt spending your money or no other
mans money, and I'll"
Il beg your pardon, madam" cried the con-
fused gentleman; Il supposed you were my
wife. and"
well, just amt your wife, nor no other
mans wife, thank fortune, to be jswed at every
time buy yard of ribbon, pity your wife
if you go around shaking her like you did me.
If l was her, I'd"
The chsgrined joker waited to hear no more,
but made his way out of the shop amid the til.
tiers and sly chuckles of those who had wit
messed his confusion.

Not a Long Voyage.


Master Hovey, of the old Phillips school
whose death spoke of some weeks ago. was in
the habit of teaching his boys geography in q
somewhat curious fashion. Taking up MORN
ing paper he would turn to the shipping news
and read OFF the incoming vessels and ask the
class what cargoes they probably brought from
the ports from which they came. The clear
ances were treated in similar way. and then
the scholars were asked TO hunt the wharves to
ma what craft were in port and what they had
for cargo or what they took out to their desti-
nation. On one occasion one of the class said
his vessel was loaded with grain and gun car
rlages. Where was il cleared for? Some slight
disturbance in Northern Africa was suggested,
but promptly put down, as Algeria, once the
gram field of Rome, still produced cereals too
close at hand small war up the Adriatic
was looked upon with more favor by teacher
and boys alike, and the question was put il this

laden ship. No, sir, promptly answered the
waggishly-inclined student, ',she cleared for
Fort Warren, Boston harbor"
