BOOMERS In Line.
They Are Ready to Push to the
Sacs and Fox Reservation.
THE PROCLAMATION IssUEI
The Line For Entry is Next Tuesday-The
indians Win Assist on the "Whiten Settlers
Clause Being Observed.

GUTHRIE, ]. T., Sept. 1S-The long
delayed news from Washington announc-
ing the opening of the ceded Indian lands

morning and caused intense excitement.
The ceded reservations comprise almost as

land lies directly east of Oklahoma. The
two sections are separated by Indian terri
tory meridian line. The north fork of the
Canadian river runs directly through the
new country.
Thousands of people have been camped
on the meridian line for days. Companies
a and b of the Thirteenth infantry and a
troop of the Fifth cavalry are in the new
territory driving out boomers and assisting
In maintaining order. Everybody is max
ing the best possible time in getting into
line to join the crowd that is already wait
ing for next Tuesday.
In the treaty with the Sac and Fox In
dams, the words "open to white settle
ment" occur. These words are apt to
cause some trouble. The Indians say they
will insist on their stipulation and will not
permit negroes to take land in their coun-
try,

The Partisan Press Condemns Emperor
William

PARIS, Sept. 1S.-The whole press of this
city condemns Emperor Williams recent
speech at Erfurt, in which it is reported
he alluded to Napoleon as the "Corsican
parvenu."
LIE Paris says: ''This violent attack on a
man of genius and greatness like Napoleon
will have no diplomatic results. 1t simply
reveals the character Of the monarch, VINO
SEXES every occasion to reyile France and
hasten reyanche."
LIE Jour says "The speech proves recent
events have rudely dlspelled the Emperor's
dreams. He wanted Europe to be blindly
submissive to Prussan hegemony and
finds himself confronted by nations which
have recovered and developed themselves
and which laugh at his threats.n
La France says: This time it is not we
who can be accused of talking revenge.
1t is the German Emperor who reminds US
that armies are the things of the day. His
remarks are an impudent outrage on the
patriotism of great people,"
