GUTHRIE. o. T, October 4.-The bill locat-
ing the capital at Oklahoma City was passed
by the house and motion to reconsider was
voted down, and the bill wass rushed to the
council for concurrence in the amendment
added by the house. The council hastily
concurred, but in the meantime the house
complexion had changed, and that body was
considering a motion to reconsider its vote.
The reconsideration carried. The house was
crowded, and excitement reigned supreme.
The bill had not been signed by either the
president of the council or the speaker of
the house, but in their eagerness to obviate a
vote on reconsideration, the speaker of the
house was prevailed upon to sign the bill as
having passed. Perry, one of the represent
atiyes from Oklahoma county, was secretly
handed the bill, and he at once proceeded to
absent himself from the room, but watchful
eyes saw the move, and il was only few
moments until the throng became verItable
mob, which proceeded to hold up Speaker
Daniels and deman1 of him the return to
the clerk the stolen bill. He laid blame on
Perry, and attention was Immediately di-
rected toward the missing representative.
He was discovered and at once broke to run,
but was quickly intercepted, cries of Hang
him!' were freely INDUCED in, and then he
turned his pockets wrong side out and showed
to the people that he did not have the bill on
his person, but pale faced, cried for mercy.
''Nesbitt has the bill" A rush was made
for Nesbitt, who was, after a four block
chase, caught and made to march bac- to
the house and deposit tine bill on the clerks
desk. Speaker Daniels then repaired to the
governors mansion, with Messrs. Linn,
Thompson, of the News, and drew a pen
mark through his name, saying: 81 signed
this bill under a Misrepresentation" When
the people were satisfied that the bill had
been returned to the clerk, quiet, superin-
duced by the presence of Captain Cavanaugh,
post commander, and United States Mar
Bhal Grimes, prevailed. Great excitement
prevails.

A Matter ofLife and Death.

LONDON, October This month will see
many people on the western coast of Ireland
deprived of even their wretched food of half
rotten potatoes, at present absolutely all that
many families have to eat. Unless assist
ance comes, they may prOlong life on sea
weed, until disease with its inevitable end
attacks their enfeebled bodies. At present
many already show the signs of insufficient
food. Hunger is abroad and cold is soon to
accompany it. The papers are pleading for
their people and picturing their condition in
language that ought to carry weight every
where, if famine is to be prevented.
1T is a matter of life or DEATH" wrote the
Rev. P. Mollery. of Clare Island, land now
is time-now is the only safe time" Not
withstanding the restitution of the tenants,
evictions continue aud families are elected
from their homes when, in some instances,
actually suffering from hunger.

Ohio Brewers Yyrothx.

CLEVELAND, o., October AT the Ohio
State Brewers and Maltsters association meet
ing here most of the discussion consisted of
TRADES against the Sunday liquor law and
the so-called fanatics" aud 'tcranks" who
exclude beer stands from the county fairs.
The president, Leo Ebert, while still in the
chair, became so wrought up over the griev-
ances of the beer element at the county fairs
that he gave free expression to his wrath.
''They get an old hog or bull, F" said he,
land set up show they call a county fair.
They then have so little sense that they eX-
clude honest business men who could make
the fair a success. They ought to know that
the beer sold during one day is worth more
than the whole concern"

TOPEKA, October 3.-The argument of the

itory law of Kansas holds good or whether il
Will have to be re-enacted before it will be

time when it will be able to render its deci.

Reduction OF the Public Debt.

WASHINGTON. D. c., October 1T is
stated at the treasury department that the
decrease in the bonded debt of the United
States during the past month, viz: So, 316,-
30, was gleater than in any month since the
period of refunding operations under Secre-
tary Sherman, the nearest approach to it be-
ing S26, $50, $50 in the month of October, 1888.

to the observations of Prof. Snow, for last
month, it was the coolest September on his

There were Sc, 6T original claims allowed
during the year, being 14,716 more original
claims than were allowed dnring the fiscal
year 1889, and 6 1876 more than during the
fiscal year 1888. The amount of the first
payment in these 66,6S7 original cases
amounted to Sc, 47s,O41, being 81, oS6, 4s2
more than the first payments on the original
claims allowed during the fiscal year 1889,
and Ills, 225 more than the first payments
on the original claims allowed during the
fiscal year 1888. The average value of the
first payments on these original claims foI
1890, was $485.1. The average annual value
of each pension at the close of the fiscal yeaI
was $133.94.
The completed files, or trial docket, is OF
great Importance in securing the prompt
adjudication of complete cases upon the
motion of the claimant or his attorney. Prior
to the establishment of this system, the com,
plant was almost universal that thousands
of CLAIMS were pending in the Office, the con-
sideration of which has been neglected for
years and that the claimants were powerless
to secure their attention.
To une 30, 1890, 761 claims were placed
on the completed files upon requests made
upon behalf of claimants. This system has
had the effect of enabling many thousand
claimants. whose claims have been pending
from nVe TO twenty years. TO DING tnelr
claims to the attention of the burea for adj
Indication and allowance, and the delay has
been reduced to minimum. This system
has proved to be more satisfactory than the
old system of leaving these claims for adjudi-
cation to discretion of file clerks. AS re-
suit of these changes in the business methods
of the Office, more work has been accom-
plished in a gwen time than was ever per-
formed before.
/ have arranged the work of the Office so
that claims under the old laws shall be adju-
dated as they are completed claims under
the new law. 1t is believed that there are
proba ly 100000 claims in this Office which
can / properly allowed under the provisions
of tn regulations approved September 70,
1890.
The act of June q, 1890, is the first disa-
bility pension law in the history of the world
which grants to soldiers and sailors pensions
for disabilities which are not proved to have
been incurred in the service and in line of
duty. This law recognizes a higher obliga-
ton of the people to their disabled veterans
than was ever formulated into law before.
Nothing shall be left undone by this bureau
TO give effect to this latest expression of the
gratitude of the American people to the SOL
diers who saved the republic.
