The Boomers from the Cherokee strip
Chief Mayes Greatly Angered.


Chief Mayes Greatly Angered.
FORT LEAvENwORTH, Kan, March IS.
Gen. Merritt has ordered six troops of
cavalry to proceed to the Cherokee strip
and oust the boomers there. Two troops
of cavalry have been ordered from each
of the three towns of Oklahoma City,
Fort Reno and Fort Supply to proceed at
once to Guthrie. At that point the forces
will be united under the senior captain
and a concentrated movement on the
settlers will be made.
Lieut. Dodge, staff officer of Gen
Merritt, was dispatched Saturday from
Fort Leavenworth to the strip to at once
make full report by telegraph of the
state of affairs, Troops at Fort Leaven-
worth will be put in readiness to move
should the report from Lieut.. Dodge
make such action necessary. It was
learned Sunday evening that Gen. Mer-
ritt has given instructions for the troops
to give the settlers ample time to vacate
before resorting to forcible measures.
Under no circumstances will such
measures be taken unless the boomers,
after being given fun opportunity to
vacate, refuse to leave. In any case
the movement on the boomers will not
be hasty. A day or two win probably
elapse after the arrivaliof the troops at
Guthrie before the march to the strip is
taken up.

Enperor William to the Pope,

BERLIN, March lS. 49, The Emperor
William, in letter to the pope, informs
him that he has appointed Bishop Kopp,
of Breslau, one of the delegates to repre-
sent Germany at the labor conference,
and asserts that he depends upon the
support Of the Catholic clergy in settling
the social question. In replying to the
letter, the pope thanked the emperor for
appointing Bishop Kopp, and declared
that himself and the church had always
been interested in the question, which
he said would be best solved by the ap-
plication of the principles advocated by
Christian people, which were Sunday
rest and religious education.

Commissioner Raum Has Something to
Say About Pension Claims.
WASHINGTON, March lS. -- Commits
sioner of Pensions Raum says that TO
answer the calls made by members of
congress alone would require the entire
time of over 100 examiners, and to an
swer the requests relating to calls from
congressman and attorneys would take
the time of over 500 men. lie announces
that in the future he will refuse to an
swcr the requests of either claimants,
attorneys or members of congress for the
status of any claim. He thinks that it
is time thrown away to answer these
letters, because the claimant asking for
the information will be made aware of
any testimony that may be needed to
make the claim perfect at the time it is
taken up for adjudication, and that suffi-
cient time to furnish the necessary proof
will be given. Thus it will be seen, as
he says, that all the time spent on giving
the status of cases before the Office is
ready to take them up for adjudication
is time wasted.

LONDON, March 19.--Just as Kaiser
Wilhelm'5 unique Labor conference opens
at Berlin to attempt a settlement of ques-
tions affecting the work and wages of
miners, one of the greatest mining
strikes on record opens in England. The
coincidence indicates at least that the
English mine laborers have no faith in
the outcome of the international confab,
and do not care enough about it to even
wait for the conclusion of the delibera-
lions. And in this attitude, it must be
said, the humble miner is for once in
line with the most experienced business
man and most eminent thinker. For no
one has yet been found anywhere out
side of the German emperor's encourage
who believes that any practical result
will be reached by the conference,
While the delegates of the great pow
ers are talking about the needs of the
miners and the rights of the mine own
ers, quarter of million miners in En-
land will be making a physical instead
of mental attempt to arrive at a solu-
ton of the question. At present the
odds in favor of a tangible result being
attained are largely on the side of the
doers, as against the takers. The strikers
say they have funds to support them in
idleness four weeks if necessary. There
is no doubt that they can stay out at
least two weeks, and this will probably
suffice to bring about concession of
their demands. The large manufac-
tories cannot afford to shut down for
hack of coal If the English mines can
not furnish the regular supply the Bel
gian and German mines can, and when
the British mine owner finds his custom
ers supplying themselves from abroad
he will be compelled to make terms with
his men or sustain irretrievable loss.
This is what the miners rely on, and
experience justifies their belief, for it
has always been the case that with
rising market for coal the English miner
could force the mine owner to admit him
to an increased share of the profits of
the business. The strike WILL it is
thought, be of short duration. Even
short stoppage of operations will cause
serious arrangement of industries. II
the strike lasts even one week scores of
factories will have to b. shut down,
throwing many thousands of persons
out of work. Prices of coal are advanc-
ing rapidly,
The strike Of the miners has created a
scarcity of coal. Several Lancashire
mills have been compelled to shut down
because of lack of coal Others are run
ming on short time. The attitude of the
striking miners varies according to the
manner in which their demands are met
bY the masters.

Leaving the Forbidden Territory.

GUTHRIE. l. T., March 18. The presi-
dents proclamation, ordering all settlers
on the Cherokee strip TO vacate, is al.
ready having the desired effect. This,
together with the orders received by
Gen. Merritt at Fort Leavenworth, to
use troops if necessary to eject the
boomers, has already caused considera-
BILE of an exodus from the forbidden ter
ritory.
Ali day long the trains were loaded
down with boomers leaving the strip,
A large number of them went to Arkan-
sas City, and about 100 came to this
point. Many poor people who tlocked
to the Cherokee strip under the wrong
impression that it was open to settle
ment have not the means to return and
will remain there until the troops escort
them out.

Grand Forks Herald: 1t was noticea-
BILE that the county republican central
committee Of this county made no effort
in the interest of the republican ticket.
No headquarters were opened, no organ
izaticn effected, no tickets distributed,
except in a few precincts. A few thous-
and tickets were ordered printed, but
only about half of them were distribut-
ed. In many instances precincts would
not have been supplied had not the
candidates themselves taken the pre-
caution to send tickets to personal
friends. Not only this, but some of the
members of the committee were openly
encouraging democratic candidates and
doing their best to down candidates on
their own ticket. No wonder the party
IS defeated. Treachery and incapacity
would defeat anything.
