THE TROUBLE IN OKLAHOMA
CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Gen. Miles was shown late
last night the Associated Press dispatch from
Guthrie, Okla, with reference to the excite
ment among the Chevennes. Ar pahoes and
Comanches on the western border OF Oklahoma.
He said these Indians are in Gen. Merritt's de-
partment and that that officer would undoubt-
eddy look after the matter promptly. He fur
Their said that these same Indians had great
medicine dance in 1874 and broke out and
created great terror from western Kansas TO
Old Mexico. They were finally conquered, dis
armed and dismounted. but in 1885 they were
again rearmed and remounted and were on the
verge of an outbreak. Aboutone-fourth Of the
army was concentrated there and held them i'm
check until the trouble passed over. 1T is
wonderful" added the general. how wide
spread this Messiah craze is. There are about
$500 Cheyennes, Arapahoes and Comanches in
that territory"

Small and Large Seed.

The Geneva IN. W experiment station
reports a series of experiments with large
and small selected seed Of the Golden Wax
bean. The largest and smallest were
separately selected and planted in alter
nate rows. On harvesting it was found
that the large seed yielded about twenty
per cent more than the small seed.
An experiment was then made to test
the comparative earliness OF the large
and small beans in terminating, wit tn
the Boston Dwarf. The large ones
weighed twice as much as the small
ones. Other varieties were also used.
The following results were reached: /.
The large beans were longer in germinat-
ing, not being acted on by moisture and
other influences SO quickly as the small
ones. 2. Plants from the large seed pos
sessed more vigor and furnished greater
resistance to disease. g. Early germinat-
ing is not favorable to the vitality of the
plants afterward.

Foreign Emigrants for Florida

Ouf editorial III laSC weeks paper Ill rel
erence to theimpOrtance OF obtainingi i'm
migrants for Florida direct from Castle
Garden appears to have met with the
approval Of a very large number of the
thinking men Of the State, and we have
received several communications endors-
ing the plan from gentlemen of acknow-
lodged ability
That it would be a cheap plan to secure
immigration we do not think will be
denied, for the reason that they can be
found congregated at that point, and
many of the emigrants from Europe ar
rive in this county without any definite
idea as to where they will make their
future habitation. Consequently it will
be comparatively an easy matter, if we
have the right kind of man looking after
our interests there. to turn them in this
direction.
During the past summer on an average
of 10000 immigrants per month arrived
at Castle Garden (or the Barge office) of
this number about $4,000 per month
were "consigned" only to New York, the
others were ticketed through to other
points.
1t is safe to say that Of the $4,000
emigrants arriving in New York and not
ticketed further, q very large number
of desirable settlers could have been
obtained for Florida had the right kind
of effort been put forward.
In former years, when the immigrants
we're landed at Castle Garden, there was
plenty of space, and in the large Rotunda
could be found the commissioners from
the different Western States, from whom
the newly arrived immigrants obtained
printed matter describing the advantages
of such States. At present the landing
is at the Barge office, foot of Whitehall
st., and thereon is too limited for allow
ing commissioners to have an office inside
the building. 1t is therefore necessary to
hire an office as near by as possible and
have a commissioner for Florida in
charge. Large signs in English and
German must invite the newly arrived
immigrants to call within and receive
free and reliable information about the
resources of Florida.
Small folders, inviting. immigrants to
call at this office, should be printed in
the German, Hollander and Scandinavia
language, and sent out by every outgo-
ing steamer for Hamburg, Bremen and
Rotterdam, to be distributed among the
passengers on their return trip. There
will be needed about 10000 such folders
every week.
Of course it would benecessary to have
the right kind of man in this Office, one
thoroughly acquainted with the details
OF the business, and it is our opinion that
the bureau of immigration could not do
better than to give the appointment to
MIA lbert Fries, ofSt.Nicholas, and to put
him to work at once. The reason we
mentioned Mr.. Fries particularly is be-
cause he is eminently fitted for the
work.
Thirty-fve years agohe was publishing
| German newspaper in Brooklyn, N. Y,
! called the "Long Island Zeithung. which
took a great interest in immigration
