TIE suLTAN,s REASON.

Favored Russia Because He Thought
England and Egypt Were Against Him.
LONDON, Sept. 23.-A Constantinople
dispatch says that the sultan has become
convinced, after thorough investiga-
tion, that there is no foundation for the
charge that Kiamil Pasha, the late
grand vizier, was engaged in plot for
his dethronement. Nevertheless, he Is
convinced that Kiamil failed to do his
duty in other matters affecting both the
the foreign policy and domestic admins
tration of the empire, and, therefore,
the grand vizier viii not be completely
restored to favor. 1t now appears that
the reason which the sultan had for his
recent leaning toward Russia was infor-
nation from source which he credited
to the effect that the Egyptian khedive
had plot on foot to detatch Arabia from
the Turkish dominions and rule over
that country as q part OF Egypt, under
British protection, and with the native
Arabian emirs retaining a certain share
of independence. There seems to be no
doubt that such q plan has been pro-
posed in Egypt, but merely as q scheme
to be carried out in the event that the
Russians should capture Constantinople
and dismember the Ottoman empire. In
that event the khedive would probably
assert his independence and endeavor TO
annex Arabia. There has, however,
been no plot against the sultan ON the
part Of the Egyptian government. 1t is
said that the sultan Is losing the self
control for which he has been noted,
and Is becoming very nervous and sus-
picious of everybody, and some Of the
leading Turks suspect him Of design to
place himself and his treasures under
the guardianship of Russia, should an
other war break ont

DOVetous Boomers Sweep Down
Upon Quarter Sections
In the Choice Parts of the
Newly Opened Territory.

A Repetition of the Scenes Enacted at the
Opening of Oklahoma Old and
Young, Good and Bad, Red, White and
Black, Male and Female, All Mingls
in the Scramble for a Home.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 23.-At noon
Tuesday the scramble for homes in the
new territory opened for settlement De-
gan. 1t was repetition of the scenes
at the opening of Oklahoma-only on a
somewhat smaller scale. This town was
blocked with people and wagons of every
description.
Cowboys ON feet steeds mixed up
with settlers, wagons and anxious home
steaders on foot. Men and women,
boys and girls scrambled together Old
gray haired boomers. with their single
blanket and frying pan, jostled among
with prospective bankers, pulling the
rein over spirited teams.
Everything here was wide open,
Whisky and beer were plentiful. Gam
blers were here with their outfits and
"sure thing" games, which they had
forwarded to the new town sites.
Negroes and Indians were also seen.
Young women, reputable and disrep-
utable, were in the throng.
Horses that were not worth lassoing in a
well-fcuced barnyard We're doctored un-
til the prices asked and freely given
equal the value of thoroughbred.
The rush was mad one and was
made SO by the fact that the number of
home seekers greatly exceeded the num-
Der of quarter sections available for set
tlenent First there, first served, "
was the motto of every racer. There
was room in the new land for about
5000 settlers, allowing 100 acres for
each. There were on the border wait
ing to claim the available land fully 15,-
900 people, so that there were three per-
sons for each section.
It is no wonder then that the rush
was a mad one, for in this case at least
the race was invariably to the swift.
Like scenes have never been witnessed
before, except when Oklahoma became
the peoples two years ago.
The craze to become an owner of a
part of the new lands caused u strange
commingling of various elements of So
ciety. There was the cowboy and the
more effeminate counter clerk, the gam
bier and the preacher, the bona tide set
tier and the speculator, the boot-leggers
and the frontier missionary, the business
man and the tramp, the man who had
left his country for his country's good,
and the man who was an honor to his
locality, the man in his carriage and the
man in his prairie schooner, the eQueS-
trian and the pedestrian, on the border
before the hour of noon, and all for one
object-the securing of piece of land.

England and Germany Choose SitSs--NsN
Idea in Women'a work.


CHICAGO, Sept. 93.--EnglRnd chose
the site Monday for her government
building at the worlds fair. Germany
has got down to one Of two sites, and
her selection will be announced during
the week, Sir Henry Wood and James
Dredge, the English commissioners,
have been figuring ON a location for
British headquarters ever since their
arrival and announced their choice
Monday afternoon to the grounds and
buildings committee. They have decid-
ed on the prettiest spot In jackson park
the ground now occupied by the stone
pavilion, right on the lake and com
manding magnificent view of the ex-
position buildings and grounds in every
direction,
The grant of the site was confirmed
by the grounds and building commit
tee, The exposition directors felicitate
themselves that so great nation has
shown its interest in the worlds fair by
making preparations at this early date
to erect its own building.
The foreign commissioners had o talk
Monday with Mrs. Palmer, president Of
the board of lady managers. The CON-
missioners suggested to Mrs. Palmer
that the exhibits Of women's work In
Europe would have much more value
if they were collected under the direc-
tion Of special committees, composed en-
tirely of women appointed by their re-
spective governments. Sir Henry Wood
particularly emphasized the added In
terest it would give the exhibits of
women if they were allowed to organize
separately and have the entire manage
ment Of their own displays. Upon the
assurance of the commissioners that her
requst would carry great weight, Mrs.
Palmer said she would ask each foreign
government to provide such a commit
tee as had been suggested to cooperate
officially in the development of women's
work in Europe.

Robbery of the London and

trance Of the Institution While the
0nAcials Were Busily Engaged in AM
ether Room-Svhy tho sultan Favored
Russia--Austria and Our Pork.
LONDON, Sept. 28. Monday the bank
ing world of this city was startled by
the announcement that an important
bank robbery had taken place in the
city.
The institution that suffered Is the
London and Westminster band (limited),
No. Al Lathbury, e. c., an important
establishment, having over fifteen
branch houses in this city. The money
stolen, 1t would appear, consisted Of a
large parcel of bills remitted from the
country banks to the London and West
minister bank.
The thief or thieves must have clev-
erly watched for the proper opportunity
20 accomplish the robbery, and to have
gained access to an apartment near the
main entrance to the bank. This apart
ment was easy of access from the street,
and the parcel of bills is supposed to
have been stolen while the bank officials
were busily engaged in another apart
ment In going over the accounts of last
weeks settlement. Both Mr.. Astle, the
town manager of the bank, and Mr.. III,
II. Bilinghurst, the country manager,
decline to make any statement for pub
hcation as to the actual loss incurred by
the London and Westminster bank, but
1t Is currently reported that the amount
stolen is not less than $3.50, 900, and that
it may amount to as much as 81, ,250, ,000
The bank officers, the city police au-
thorities and the criminal investigation
department of Scotland Yard are put
ting forth the utmost exertions in order
to effect the capture of the thieves. No
tice Of the robbery has been sent to the
police centers throughout the British
isles and on the continent, and the sail
ing of every passenger vessel is being
watched.
Notice of the robbery has also been
sent to all the banks upon which the
bills were drawn, but the police theory
is that no attempt will be made to
change the bills in this country, but the
thieves will have recourse to the conti-
nent, where the presence Of so many
wealthy travellers from England and the
United States makes such transactions
easier than in this country.

wHlsTLER's sEeMENTAL GUN.
1t Ia n BreechlOader and VIII Revolu
tionixe Gun~Making.

Ae 10 BfeochiOnder and VIII Revolu-
tionixe Gun-NIaking.
New YORK, Sept. 23.-Lieutenant
WhtStler's new segmental fve-inch
breechloading wire gun, now being con-
structed at Reading, Pa, is the outcome
of the recent successful tests of a sec
tional part of the segmental tube at
Reading and Fort Wadsworth. Should
the gun prove success it will revolu-
tionize the art of modern gun-making
the world over, and no ironclad, how
ever heavy its armor plates, would be
safe from being pierced from end to end
by a single shot. Wire wrapped guns
have invariably proved failures. The
new gun now under construction is not
wire-wrapped--it is real wire gun,
consisting essentially of a segmental
core wound with wire, under an initial
tension of $4,000 pounds to the square
inch.
The core of Whistler's gun has
seventy-two segments, and the maxi
mum thickness of each does not exceed
forty eighth of an inch, and it must
have crushing strength of 100000
pounds per square inch and an elastic
limit of at least $4,000 pounds to the
square inch. The segments support the
layers of small wire and transmit the
pressure excited by the powder at the in
stant Of discharge to the inner layers of
the wire, thus placing all circumferen-
tial stress of the explosion upon the en-.
circling wire, which has an elastic INIT
of 1875, 900 and tensile strength Of 267,-
600 pounds to the square inch.

OVER 1000, 900 ACRES.

Description of the New Lands just
Opened for Settlement.
GUTHRIE, o. t., Sept. 23.-The land
opened for settlement consists of the
country of the Sacs and Foxes, 472, 900
acres; of the Iowas, $780, ,659 acres, and of
the Pottawatomies, 400, 900 acres; in all,
/ ,101 ,559 acres. Some of this is adapted
for raising as fine crops as any land, and
some of it fertilized with tin cans would
afford excellent pastureage for goats.
The indians do not lose all their land.
Each buck gets quarter section. and
not only that but he is a lawful 'sooner,
and picked out the prize spots. He can't
sell his land for twenty-five years, but
during that time he doesn't have to pay
any taxes.
After the Indian lands and the lands
held for school purposes have been de-
Quoted from the 1,101, $3.50 acres, about
100000 acres are opened for actual set
tlement. This makes 5000 homesteads
and about two men for every home
steader on the ground. II is the old
Oklahoma rush over again with some
notifications. There are not as many
boomers, and smaller number of them
are in wagons. For the last week, how
ever, there has been an almost contin-
uous stream of wagons over the Santa
Fe trail across the Cherokee strip, and
there are wagons all around the border.
The rush over the railroad has been
just the same. The big crowds for the
last three days have packed the aisles of
the cars. They look like the same men
who came to Oklahoma at its opening.
A composite picture of the whole
"outft" would represent a young man
with harvest field complexion and a
white felt hat drawn down so as to bend
his ears. He would have a four-year-
old yellow mustache and a four days
old beard He would have blue eyes,
and he would sport red cotton hand
kerchief just as sure as he would have a
big revolver.
All the little scenes were much the
same as during the rush to Oklahoma.
In the crowds on the trains there was the
man from Arkansas with his fiddle, and
the man with the gray beard, and the
man with the red nose, who danced in
the aisle of the car.

NEGRO MIGRATION
Bishop Turner Urges Emigra-
tiOn to the Dark Continent,
Says Colored People Have No
Chance in This Country.

In Africa, However, He Believes They
Could Build Up One OF the Grandess
Governments ON which the Sun Ever
shOwn-His Belief Concerning the RE-
deemtnE and Christianixing of Africa.
Boston, Sept. 23.--Bishop Henry Mo
Neil Turner spoke to large congrega-
ton of colored people Sunday night in
the African Methodist Episcopal church,
on Charles street, ON the proposed trip
to Africa and in advocacy of the migra-
tion of 100000 or 150, 900 of the Colored
race to that continent. His observa-
ton, he said, had taught him that there
was little hope for the colored race in
this country, and that the best thing
number of them could do was TO go to
some other country, set up govern
ment of their own, and demonstrate
that they had in them native ability to
administer the affairs Of state. In
Africa, he saw such o country. II was
rich in gold, silver, precious stones and
minerals of all descriptions, such as peo-
pie starting to govern themselves would
need to make them strong and mighty.
He solemnly believed that the black
men and women in America would final
ly be the instrument to redeem and
Christianize Africa, and plant on her soil
one Of, the grandest governments on
which the sun ever shone. A few weeks
ago, ina conversation he had with Pres
ident Harrison, the latter wondered why
the colored people take 80 little interest
in the subject. The bishop stated that
in his talk with President Harrison on
the subject he suggested an appropria-
ton by congress to purchase tract of
land in Africa, and the appointment Of a
commission OF twelve, seven colored and
five white. to carry on the negotiation.

HIS BROTHER DOUBTS IT.
Strange Story of the Rescue of n Couple
Supposed TO BE Drowned.

strange story OF the Rescue OF n Couple
Supposed TO BE Drowned.
NEW YORK, Sept 8.--Munchausen
appears to be outdone if the story OF
Sam w. Thornton and his sister-in-law,
Eva Jewell, is true. This couple went
bathing at Coney Island Aug. 81 and
were seen entering the surf. Their
clothing was unclaimed and the suppo-
sition was INDUCED that they were
washed out to sea and drowned.
Monday came story from Jackson
vile, Fla, stating that the couple had
been carried out to sea. The man
could swim but the woman could not.
BY the aid of a providential log they
fioated until rescued In an exhausted
condition by the crew Of Spanish yes
sci, and landed after thirteen days sail
near the mouth of st. Johns river. They
made their way to Jacksonville, and
Monday kept the wires hot with appeals
to the mans brother in this city for
money to aid them to return. The
brother has his doubts, however, and is
investigating the identity of the parties.
LATER-S. w. Thornton has wired
from Jacksonville, Fla. the correct
combination of the sale, and his brother
and other relatives are satisfied of his
identity.
