The Capital Question Causing n Hostile
Geeling--A Regular Mob Insades the
Legislative Halls.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Oct. 4.--Long before
daylight yesterday morning anxious
men could be seen in little knots OF two
and three discussing the capital situa-
tion. Pistols could be easily located on
the person OF almost every man Ihe
hotels and restaurants were crowded
at4he breakfast hour
A simp pie recognition was all that was
indulged in between former friends.
The capital question had brought about
shange in the minds Of many. A
former ltis-d OF one town lad switched
and was outspoken in favor OF King
fisher or Guthrie against Oklahoma
City.
The House was called to order at ten
o'clock, but Speaker Daniels was absent
The Education bill was taken up and
considered and after two hours OF rou-
tine work the House adjourned until two
o'clock.
Speaker Daniels was found prostrated
from the excitement OF Thursday.
He spoke but a few words and that was
against the advice OF his physician.
The words he uttered were: 81 have
stood by Oklahoma City as long as
think ! can. signed the bill under
misapprehension l have visited the
Governor with Senator Linn and Mr. W.
p. Thompson, Of the Daily News, and
told him that / signed it under misap-
prehension.
Here 1t was suggested that the Speaker
send communication to the House
stating these fac is. He wrote such
communication and wrote a resolution,
which he desired to be introduced. stat
ing that as the Speaker had signed the
Capital bill under a mistake that bill
should be recalled from the Senate.
In the House Mr.. farrell said that as
the lobby was crowded with armed men
he wished the expression OF the House
as to whether their presence was desir-
able, and offered motion that the
House be cleared Of all except members
and newspaper men. This was voted
down

Characteristic scenes in the Magistrates
Court over the state Trials.
DUBLIN, Oct The hearing in the
case Of the Government against Messrs
Dillon and O'Brien and the other Ma
tionalists who were arrested on the
charge Of conspiracy was continued in
the magistrates court at Tipperary.
Much excitement was occasioned in
the court room by the ev. dence Of one
of the witnesses, policeman, who tes-
titled that he followed several of the
defendants into the yestry Of the Cath
Ollie church and tried to overhear what
was said there by them. This aroused
the Indignation Of counsel for the de-
PENDANTS and he demanded to
know if the penal days had
returned when the sancuty OF
the con fessional could be invaded. The
court room became babel OF cries and
tho confusion was so great that it was
impossible to go on with the proceed
ings The court was therefore ad-
iourncd for half an hour
When the court rcopened the police
man was cross-eNamined by Mr. Har-
rington who called him shadow ~
The magistrate called upon Mr. Har-
rinEton to withdraw the expression.
I lie refused to do so and was ordered To
/ leave the case An uproar ensued,
Messrs O'Brien and Dillon commenting
/ freely upon the manner in which the
/ case was conducted
Finally another half hours adjourn
/ ment was ordered. During this Mr..
/ Harrington's clients decided 10 defend
/ themselves
When the proceedings were resumed
Mr Dillon had just begun to address
/ the bench when a cheer was raised FOR
! Mr. Harrington. This SO eNasperated
/ the magistrate that he ordered the
court cleared and the proceedings were
adjourned abruptly amid the greatest
I confusion.

SIR JOHNS WRATH.

OF course the Canadian premier Sir John
Macdonald is concerned with American
tariff legislation only in 80 far as it relates
to English and Canadian interests. He
would like to see lumber, coal. and the
various general products of Canada and
British Columbia on the free list in order
that market for these articles could be
found in the United States. The new tariff
law is not to Sir Johns taste, and speak.
ing for his constituents he has uttered
. very severe comment upon it. No better
argument. favorable to the new Law. could
be found than this. The great scheme of
commercial union" between the United
States and Canada is only another name
for free trade as applied to the British
provinces to the north Of Us. So far "A
this coast Is concerned. it would DESTROY
almost our whole benefit from the pro-
tective tariff, since it would put British Co
lumbia coal. lumber. etc, in competition
with our own similar products. Nor would
it give Us any compromising advantage
since with commercial union" British
Columbia would buy nothing from us that
she does not buy under the existing reeuIa.
