Characteristic Lot-Jumping Scene at Okla

OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, May 10.-Con-
siderable excitement was occasioned
here over an attempt at lot jumping.
In the morning about ten o'clock a
wagon loaded with lumber was stopped
in front of a vacant lot on Robinson
street, between Grand avenue and Main
street, and simultaneously trio of col
ored individuals appeared, armed with
carpenters tools, quietly unloaded the
wagon and began to construct the
foundation of small house. AS II by
magic dozen men appeared upon the
scene and without word began tearing
up the foundation and carrying the
boards and scantlings to pond near by,
where they were dumped. a fia &
Within two minutes the dozen men
were joined by others, who had been in
formed of the attempt at Jumping, until
the streets were filed with excited
men, vieing with each other to secure a
board that they might help in the de-
struction of the proposed edifice. The
lot in question is held under city GER
tificate by s. c. Woodruff. The would
be jumper was ]. d. Willy, colored,
formerly a Topeka, Kan, barber.
Willy and his two aids disappeared and
the crowd dispersed as quietly as they
came, but with the understanding that
a watch would be kept on, Willy, this

ABOUT SILVER.

The Republicans Finally Agree Upon q Sill
yer Bill-It May Lead to the Free Coinage
of Silver.
WASHINGTON, May IAN effort was
made by the Senate Republican Silver
Committee to agree upon Silver bill to
be reported to the caucus. Three of the
thirteen members were absent but the
ten present together with Senator
Stewart, who was invited to take part in
the proceedings, after discussion last
| ing nearly three hours, decided to re-
port to a caucus to be held some day
this week the bill reported by Senator
Jones from the Finance Committee some
weeks ago with amendments.
One of the amendments proposed
strikes out the provision in the reported
chase of bullion, when redeemed, shall
be cancelled. and instructs the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to reissue them,
with the provision that the amount out
standing shall not at any time be in ex-
cess of the amount paid out for the
bullion deposited. 'sr
Another amendment is the addition
of the sixth section of the bill adopted
by the House caucus, which provides
for the covering into the treasury of
about seventy millions of lawful money
now held for the redemption of National
bank notes.
The Jones bill directs the Secretary of
the Treasury to purchase monthly silver
bullion to the value of S4, 500, 900, the
notes in payment thereof to be
redeemable in lawful money. Two
OF the members OF the commit
tee felt yesterday that they could
not unqualifiedly give their sup
port to the measure, although they
were willing to have the mat
ter go to the caucus for its decision.
One of them, it is said, will support it
in case lis approved by the other Re-
publican Senators, but the other was
not ready to go even SO far. He desires
time to consider the situation.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, stated,
in referring to the proposed compro-
mise, that while personally he was in
favor of the free coinage of silver, he
believed the measure (the bullion re-
demption clause having been omitted)
to be free from any vicious principle,
and one that, il adopted, would ulti-
mately lead to free coinage. In this
Senator Teller agreed.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Under a drip
ping sky, the mortal remains of James
Burnie Beck, late United States Sena-
tor from Kentucky, were borne at ten
o'clock yesterday morning from the
residence Of Representative Breckin-
ridge, OF Kentucky, to the Capitol. They
were accompanied by the Senate COM
mlttee OF arrangements and the hon.
orary pail bearers named by the Ken
lucky delegation.
Arriving at the east front Of the Sem
ate the Senators and pall-bearers left
their carriages, and forming in two
lines, with Senators Blackburn and
Evarts at the head, the casket was borne
from the hearse by detail'of eight of
the Capitol police up the steps and into
the marble room, where it was visited
by several hundred persons before its
removal to the Senate chamber.
At 1890 President Pro TEN. Ingalls,
called the Senate to order. At 12:45 the
honorary pail bearers on the part of the
Senate were announced by the Presi-
dent Pro Ten. as follows: Messrs. Nor
rill, Sherman, Hale, Allison, McPher-
son, Vest, Pugh and Gibson
Five minutes later the members of the
House of Representatives were an
nounced and took seats to the right and
left of the chamber in the rear of the
Senators who stood to receive them.
Speaker Reed was escorted to place at
the right of President Pro Tenn. Ingalls,.
The members of the House were fol-
lowed by the Chief Justice and Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court. The
diplomatic corps was represented by Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British Minister,
and members of the Chinese, Japanese
and Brazilian legations. Five minutes

Signs OF n Considerable Boom In Trade.
Spring wheat Seedlings Enects.


Spring Wheat Seedlings Enects.
New YORK, May 1o.-R. @. DUN q
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: Dur
ing the past week the business situa-
ton has changed but little. The out
ward manifestations vary somewhat,
but the leading facts are still the enor-
nous volume of traffic in progress, the
expectation of monetary expansion and
the absence of forces at present serious
ly disturbing even in details. Chief
and most potent of the present favoring
influences is still the prospect of in
creased monetary use of silver in some
form. Labor controversies cause less
interruption than has been anticipated.
1t has come to be recognized that jim
jury to winter wheat may count for so,
600, 600 bushels at least, but spring seed
ing has covered an increased acreage
and a larger yield of that kind would
naturally follow higher prices. Cotton
is shade weaker than q week ago and
accounts of injury less impressive. Iron
shows no great change, the radical facts
in that branch being the transfer of part
of the production to Southern instead of
Northern fields. The increase in wool
supply this year can not be large, but
the expectations of higher prices so
generally entertained by growers tend
to embarrass the manufacturer. Boston
sales were large, with prices stiff.
The movement of meats continues
heavy-at Chicago. 100000 pounds of
dressed beef against 945, 900 last year,
and for the year thus far $4,000, 600
against 100000 pounds last year.
Beef cattle have reached the highest
point for the year; lard receipts at Chi
cago are nearly double, and hogs grow
stronger at the West. In general, op-
erations in products are, remarkably
large, with advancing prices, but ma My
because of the expected loss in produc-
ton this year.
The dry goods business continues of
full volume-at Chicago larger than last
year-and the shoe trade is also larger
The volume of all trade shown by ex-
changes outside of New York remains
about 10 per cent. above last years,
which in turn was the largest on record.
The reports from interior cities indicate
fairly maintained activity, with money
markets nowhere stringent, though at
Chicago and some other points closer
about May than before on account of
settlements and preparation for assess
ments for taxation. The disburse-
ments to May were larger than ever
before, approaching sSO,OO0,OOO.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number 2O9, as compared
with 211 last week. For the correspond
ing week of last year the figures were
9O7.

A CRONlN SENSATION.

A Report That Bourke, Coughlin and O'sut-
Hvan Were Planning to Escape Through.
Outside Friends.
CHICAGO, May 9.-Concerning the dis
covery that Bourke, Coughlin and O'Sul-
ivan, serving life sentences in the peni-
tentiary for the murder of DR.. Cronin
had secured facilities for communicat-
ing with the outside world, dispatch
from Joliet says:
'"The mail route was investigated and
1t was found that Tom Hills, a foreman.
for the outs de gang for the cooper con-
tract, was the mail carrier. He took the
letters from convicts and mailed them.
The letters said answer inelosed to Il.
Hills, number so and so, will reach me. >
'These letters were to and from a half
dozen different convicts, but chiefly to
Bourke, Coughlin and O'Sullivan. They
show that these worthless have powerful
friends outside and that money and in
fluence are not lacking. Mr.. Hills was
incontinently bounced and will never
see the inside of the Illinois State Peni-
tentiary again as foreman.
"One of the letters from Martin Bourke
to fellow convict suggests that il he,
can be moved from his present location
in the cooper shop to place beside his.
pal they could fix things to suit them
selves, and says: Don't you think Bar
rett will do it for $50? You tackle him."
Attorney Forrest, who represents the,
prisoners, when spoken to about the
matter scoffed at the idea that there
was plot on hand by means of which.
the Cronin prisoners hoped to escape.
He declared that if the penitentiary
doors were opened they would not walk
out, because he had told them, and they
firmly believed, that they would be
granted new trial on their appeal to.
