There have been a few disputes and

them have been serious.
One notable feature of the prepare

turbance so far has been at Langstons
where the cowboys object to the negroes
massed there taking possession of the
Cimarron valley, an extremely fertile
country. A serious conflict threatened
there at one time, but the prompt ar

States marshals from Guthrie has so
far prevented an outbreak, and 1t is be-

has now passed away. The officers
will remain there until Wednesday
morning after the rush, to see that the
peace is preserved and see that all legal
claimants are protected from violence.
The sending of this force from Guthrie
has depleted the supply of officers in
this city, and there are not enough Off

laid bare. He was on one occasion ar

THE PRIEsTEN VEREIN.
1t Turns Out Largely to a Church
Dedication.


BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept. 20.-An aston
ishing revelation Of German solidarity
and strength of numbers was furnished
here to-day. Apparently it was arranged
as fitting forerunner Of the great con-
gress of German-American Catholics
which begins proceedings tomorrow.
The announcement had been locally
that q new Catholic church was
to be dedicated, but little or nothing APP
peared beforehand to indicate an affair
of magnitude or OF novel significance.
TO the visitor in the city or the resident
of other quarters, attracted i'll that direc-
ton, the scene presented on passing out
of Genesee street and adjoining thor
oughfares was constantly one OF
increasing surprise. Almost from
the corner of Main street the
long route to the new church
was filled nearly exclusively with
faces Of unmistakable TeutOnic aspect.
For straight mile and a half and be-
yond German names alone peeped down
from the hundreds of business signs,
and inquiries couched in the language
of the fatherland were Invariably the
readiest answered, even by the children
in the thrOng. In either direction, for
distances Of many blocks, the buildings,
scarcely without exception, were gayly
draped with flags and hutterings stream
ers of the kaiser's red. white ana black,
the papal colors of brilliant white and
yellow, and also the stars and stripes.
The edifice to be dedicated was found
to be that of a distlnctiyely German
American parish, the Church OF the
Dolors. 1t is a huge stone structure,
towering massive and battlemented, re-
minding the beholder of a medieval
fortress. Around the church, forming
a flashing circle of polished steel, stood
an imposing array of dark-unifOrmed
Catholic Knights, with drawn swords
at. present arms. Up and down the
streets, hemmed in by crowds of eager
spectators, could be seen rank after
rank of bright tinsel-sashed sOdalitIes,
bearing aloft banners inscribed with
gilded lettering, chiefly in Latin or Ger
man.
Within the church, into which the
eager thousands poured, there appeared
within the sanctuary,as celebTant of the
mass. German-Amerlcan prelate, Rt.
Rev. Bishop Zardetti, of st. Cloud,
Mimi, and the immense mass of people
bowed and genuflected and knelt while
perfumed clouds from golden censers
obscured the scarlet background Of the
altar, and the high-vaulted arches
trilIed with the allelulias Of the mag
nIficent German choir.
Much curiosity is expressed as to the
number OF German-American bishops
who will attend the meeting of the Ger.
man union, and thus supposedly avow
themselves in opposition to their fellow
prelates. The promoters of the con-
gress count upon the presence Of six to
eight wearers of the purple, and 500 or
more priests, besides estimating that
10000 strangers in Buffalo tomorrow
night will witness torchlight parade
of another 10000 uniformed lay adj
verein," the conclave of which is to be
the center Of interest.

HANDEL'S "MESSIAH."
An Old Copy OF 1t Discovered in
Dublin

DuDlIHs
LONDON, Sept. 30. - The musical
world of London is excited over a dis
covery made by Prof. Edward Dowden,
LID, in an old book shop in Dub
lin. 1t was a copy of the original book
of-words Of HandePs messiah, "printed
for the first performance in Dublin in
1742. of which not single copy was
hitherto known to have survived. 1t
shows the story that the "HalleluJah"
chorus was written at the end of
the work and placed in its present
position because Handel found the
work was dragging to be unfounded. 1t
changes several of the fixed ideas as to
the proper allotment of the various
numbers. This copy of the book was
issued by the University Press for pri-
Vate circulation.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Sept. 2O.-The an
preaching campaign in this state
promises to be an exceedingly interest
ing one. Present indications point to a
three-cornered, and possibly four-cor-
nered fight. The Republicans are in
an unhappy frame of mind. They are
uncertain as to the outcome, notwith-
standing their victory last fall. and are
inclined to blame Providence for forcing
upon them the issue of a congressional
campaign in this, an off year, when 1t
may needlessly expose their weakness
and divisions. They will have hard
fight to keep up their organization in
some quarters, where the Independents,
flushed by local victories, have corralled
all the farmers. The Democrats are
rather enjoying the situation. They
would be pleased to see the Independ-
ents ''lay out' their ancient foe, the
Republican party, and will do
nothing to interfere with the
circus, yet most Of them believe
the third party lacks votes to accomplish
this most desirable end. This idea is
also prevalent among many of the lead
ing Independents, but union of the
opposition would sweep the state. But
on whom could they unite? Probably
there is no more available candidate for
such purpose than Mai. G. Boyd Bar.

"CoRsIOAN PARvENU."
Emperor Billy's Remark Excites
the French.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-A Berlin dispatch
says that there is much chagrin IN court
circles over the kaiser's remark about the
"Corsiean parvenu," and that the kaiser
himself sees that he has made a blum
der. 1t was by his own orders that the
Reichsanzeiger changed the term toCor-
sican conqueror, and a copy of the
paper. specially marked, has been sent
to King Humbert, of Italy, whose
family is so closely connected
with the Bonapartes. 1t is said. in
explanation of the kaiser's utterance,
that he was carried away suddenly by
the thought of all the evil that the first
Napoleon had inflicted on Prussia, and
spoke the words without due reflection.
There is no doubt that he has. by this
epithet, cooled many influential and
powerful friends, and converted others
who were only half hostile into bitter
and determined enemies. The storm
aroused in France shows the strength
Of the hold which Napoleon's memory
still has on the French, and which
seems to grow stronger, instead of
weakening, with years.

1T LOOKS WARLIKE.
Guatemala's Unique Method of
Starting a Revolution.

ouetrtIIIE3 q IOeVUIUIIOH.
SAN SALVADOR, Sept. 20.-For the
past few days rumors have been af1oat
regarding impending trouble between
Guatemala and Salvador. These re-
ports owe their origin to the fact that
the Guatemala government had been
welcoming Salvadorian emigrants with
the intention of arming them and then
putting them into Salvador's territory
to start revolution. The dismissal of
Gen. Always from the war department,
taken in connection with the expulsion
of Gen. Plazas. from the country, has
confirmed these reports. These facts,
moreover, are quickly followed by the
rumor from Guatemala's frontier that
Gen. Barillas is massing troops and war
material on the frontier.
