Hundreds OF boomers Flooding Into

ST. Louis March s--The latest adyiccs
from Oklahoma territory are to the
effect that not only scores but hundreds
of 'prairie schooners," filled with boom
ers hunting for choice claims. are NOV
ing over the Cherokee strip in all direc-
tions, and that single man and partiss
with guns on their shoulders who claim
to DO hunters, but who are really settling
land, are encountered daily.
More than half a dozen boomer or
ganizations have been formed in Kansas
and Oklahoma, and the boom is on the
dead earnest, and IL is believed that the
government will find it very difficult to
suppress or even control II.
"Boomers' are also collecting in the
Iowa reservation, east of Oklahoma, and
south of the strip, IN great numbers. IL
is believed that the Indian police, who
are under orders from Chief Mayes TO
clear the strip, will be totally unequal to
tile work.
The report Is in circulation that the
colonists have made an agreement for a
concerted movement TO invade the strip

then informed the minister that his per

annexation Of Mexican territory were
expressed In his note TO Mr., Morgan,
United States minister TO Mexico, dated
June 1, 1881, which was published in tho
diplomatic correspondence appended to
the presidents message of that year.
He added that the United States gOY-
ernmcnt did not think even remotely of
acquiring any portion of Mexican terri
tory, and that II would not support any
project having such a subject In view, as
the United states had all the territory II
required for its progress and welfare,
and desired no more.
"rhe secretary of state further stated
that tha United states government
could not prevent the newspapers or
citizens of the country from saying what
they pleased ON that or any. other sub e
joct, and that, rs regarded tho &C
quisition Of Mexican territory hy the
United States lac felt certain that the
statements made were OF 10 importance

favor further acquisitions, and that, even
