ENGLISH SCHOOL FOR scandal.

The Russell divorce scandal has drawn large
audiences into court and excited great interest
in the world of London fashion but it has been
essentially vulgar and degrading exhibition of
what is known as aristocratic society. Neither
the Earl nor the Countess is entitled to SYM
patty from any one having regard for the de-
cencies of domestic life. The testimony has
been conflicting, but if all that both the hus-
band and the wife have said in court be dis
counted one-haf, the residum is stale, fat and
unavoidable. The Countess, for example, has
described the Earl as in the habit of torturng
kittens by fiinging them against the ceiling
The Earl has admitted tossing them into the air.
but has denied the imputatiOn of dashing out
their brains against the ceiling. In like man
ner the Countess has attributed her loss of health
to the Earls closeness in money matters and
brutal treatment generally, and he has replied
by ascribing her ailments to unaccustOmed re-
straint in being limited to six cigarettes day.

There are few names that are more widely
known throughout the length and breadth of the
United States than that of Robert Bonner, who
constitutes the subject of an interesting and
graphic sketch in our columns to-day. As the
owner of Dexter, of Maud S, and of Sunol, those
monarchs of the American equine world, his name
is familiar 10 every man, woman and child who
take the slightest interest in horseflesh, and the
successes which he has achieved on the race
track are only to be approached by those which
he has won as the proprietor and manager OF
that NEST popular weekly newspaper, " The New
York Ledger" To many he is known As a
most clever humOrist and it was as such that
he was recommended to the Editor OF the Lon
don comic paper, Punch in Characteristic
letter of his lifelong and intimate friend, Henry
Ward Beecher.
The first really serious, blizzard of the season
is raging in the NorthweSt-that land OF harrow
ing winter weather. At points in Minnesota and
North Dakota travel by railroad is practically
suspended. A dispatch from Grafton, n. d.,
states that all trains have stopped running, while
the snow in many places has drifted until it
reaches the housetops. AT another point in
North Dakota the snow is reported as being be-
tween ten and fifteen feet high on the streets
and sidewalks, and the consequence is that bust
ness is at a standstl and no one can get in or
out of the city. All Of which is calculated 10

conclusion that in spite of Mr.. Greeley's advice

We might just as well prepare for the worst! A
dispatch from Kansas City says that Mrs. Charles
p. johnson and her band of Adventists have fixed
on Christmas Day for the end of the world and,
since "she is in hourly communication with the
spirit world and declares that there can be no
mistake as to her prediction, it evidently behooves
the world in general to make ready for the col
lapse Although this startling piece of news did
not occupy the most conspicuous place In yester-
days papers, it ought not TO go UNDECIDED I'm
fortunately, things kept going on yesterday just as
usual, in this city at least, and people continued
to make preparations for Christmas as il there
were no doubt about its coming in the regular and
normal way. How Mrs Charles p. johnson will

out their mistake. Nearly forty years ago DR..

Why should John p Adams, the Brooklyn Com

with the holding of the inquest in the case OF the

upon himself his department., his subordinates and
the contractors for whom he has displayed SO much

The State Insurance Commissioner of Kan
sas Adjudged Guilty OF Contempt.
TOPEKA, Kan. April 5.-Judge
Guthrie has adjudged D. w. Wilder,
state insurance commissioner, guilty of
contempt of court, fined him $50 and
costs and ordered that the license of
the Capital Insurance Co., which was
revoked by Mr.. Wilder, be restored.
Several days ago Mr.. Wilder issued
an order revoking the license of the
Capital Insurance Co. to do business in
the state on the ground that it was in
solvent.
About half an hour after this he was
served with an injunction issued by
Judge Guthrie restraining him from re-
vol1ing the license. The publication of
the notice of the revocation was pub
ished in the official state paper on the
following morning. The prosecution
held that the revocation Of the license
was not complete without the publica-
ton, andwhen the insurance commission
er ordered the publication, after being
served with the injunction, that ne was
acting in contempt of court. Mr.. Wilder
held that he instructed the Capital not
to print the article and the license had
been completely revoked before the re-
straining order of the court had been
served upon him.

LAND FOR SETTLERS.
Three Million and a Half Acres
Almost Ready.
THE TRACTS OF LAND DESCRIBED.
The Preliminary Work Necessary Before
the Country Is Opened-Agents Busy
AuOting Lands in Severalty to
the Indians.

Fort RENO, Ok, April 6.-By the
action of the late congress in ratifying
the various contracts made during the
past year by the Cherokee commission
with seven Indian tribes in the Indian
territory 4,7S3, 0O5 acres of land will be
attached to and become a part of the
territory of Oklahoma. These include
the Iowa reservation, containing 22S,'
AIS acres; the Sac and Fox, 479,66S
acres; the Pottawatomie and absentee
Shawnee, occupying one reservation,
575, ST. acres, and the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe, also occupying one reserva-
ton, about 8, 800, 900 acres.
Surrounded by the Sac and Fox, Iowa
and absentee Shawnee reservations and
Oklahoma, is the Kickapoo reservation,
embracing 206, 466 acres, with which the
tribe commission was unable to effect
a contract last July. Likewise in the
southeastern corner of the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservation, between the
South Canadian and the Washita rivers,
the Wichitas and affiliated bands are
living on a reservation embracing 474,-
61O acres. These tribes have not as yet
been visited by the commission, but this
and the Kickapoo reservation will be
treated for during the approaching
summer.
All this country is adjacent to Okla
homa, and will extend its eastern
boundary thirty-five miles and its west
ern to the state of Texas or about 116
miles. A glance at the map will show
that these recently obtained reserva-
tions have almost the same extent from
north to south as Oklahoma, so that the
territory as it will be constructed, will
be almost a regular parallelogram
about 1876 miles in length and seventy
seven in breadth
The manner in which the lands shall
become available for settlement is pro-
vided for in the bills ratifying the con-
tracts. Section 16 of the Indian appro-
priation bill, in which the agreements
with the Pottawatomies, Shawnees and
Cheyennes and Arapahoes were ratified,
reads as follows: THAT whenever any
of the lands acquired by either of the
three foregoing agreements respect
ing lands in the Indian or Ok
laboma territory shall by opera
ton of law or proclamation of the
president of the United States be
opened to settlement, they shall be dis
posed of to actual settlers only, under
the provisions of the homestead and
townsite laws Except section 23o1 Of
she revised statutes of the United States
which shall not apply; provided, how
ever, that each settler on said lands
shall, before making a final proof and
receiving certificate of entry, pay to
the United States for the land SO taken
by him, in addition to the fees provided
by law, and within five years
from the date of the first
original entry, the sum of S1-50
per acre. one-hah Of which shall be

SURVEYORS AT WORK.
Progress of AIIotments to the Sac and Fo1
Indians.


Indians.
SAC AND Fox AGENCY, /. T., April T..
-Alloting agents James NJ. Emery,
Veder b. Payne and r. L. Walker have
got fairly to work alloting lands in sew
crafty to the Sac and Fox Indians, and
some Fox aIlotmeGts have already been
made.
Popo Stanley, an industrious and ed
ucated Sac Indian, was the first to have
his land marked out and assigned to him.
He is buying agricultural implements
and seeds, and will cultivate a large
part of his land the coming season. AS
many of the old corner stones have
been defaced or destroyed and as the
angle has varied considerably since the
survey of the country made some seven
teen years ago, it will be necessary to
resurvey the entire nation, establish
corners and make field notes for the
same. This work must be done
in about three months. Two
surveying expeditions have already
outitted and left this point for
work One went north to begin opera
tions il the vicinity of the old Turkey
Track Hanch headquarters and the
other went south to begin work at the
southeast corner of the nation. In the
meantime, while the survey is in pro-
gress, the allotments will continue, but
the boundaries can not be definitely de-
termined until the new survey is COM

Parliament ReassemhIes.

LONDON, April THE house of com
mons reassembled to-day after the
Easter recess. So far during the ses-
sion the progress of legislation has been
very slow and a number of important
measures will now demand continuous
attention. 1t is reported in the lobbies
that, by direction of the queen, the gov
ernment will within few days introduce
a motion for a special grant to pay the
debts of the prince of Wales, which
have been gradually accumulating un-
til they have reached an enormous sum.
The proposition will be bitterly fought

f honorably discharged union soldiers
and sailors as defined and described in
section 23O4 and 23O5 of the revised
statutes of the United States, shall not
be abridged except as to the sum to be
paid as aforesaid and all the lands in
Oklahoma are hereby declared to be
agricultural lands, and proof of their
non-mineral character shall not be re-
quired as a condition to final entry"
Section II further says: THAT be-
fore any lands in Oklahoma are opened
to settlement it shall be the duty of the
secretary of the interior to divide the
same into counties as near as possible
not less than 900 square miles in each
county. In establishing said county
line the secretary is hereby authorized
to extend the lines of the counties al
ready located so as to make the area of
said counties equal, as near as may be,
to the area of the counties pro-
vided for in this act At the first
election for county officers the people
of each county may vote for a name for
each county and the name which re-
ceives the greatest number of votes
shall be the name of such county: Pro
vided further, that as soon as the coun-
ty lines are designated by the secretary
he shall reserve not to exceed one-half
section of land in each county to be
located near the center of said county
for county seat purposes to be en-
tered under sections 1887 and 23ss
Of the revised statutes; provided,
that in addition to the jurisdiction
granted to the probate courts and the
Judges thereof in Oklahoma territory
by legislative enactments, which enact
ments are hereby ratified, the probate
judges of said territory are hereby
granted such jurisdiction in town site
matters and under such regulations as
are provided by the laws of the state of
Kansas"
The agreements with the Iowas and
Sacs and Foxes were ratified in a sep
arate bill, but the lands are to be opened
in the same general manner. Agents
have already been appointed TO allot
land to the Indians, and this work must
be finished and the other provisions of
the agreements must be fulfilled before
the lands can be declared open TO settle
