OKLAHOMA.
The Future of the New Terri
tory Exceedingly Bright.
Crops Equal to That of Any
That Grows from the Earth.

Fully Twenty Thousand People Camping
Along the Border Awaiting an Oppor-
tunity TO Pre-Empt Claims ON the $780,
900 Acres Soon to BE Opened for Settle
ment-MOre to BE Added.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ID. - Major
George w. Steele, formerly of Marion,
now governor of Oklahoma, was here
this week. He said before leaving for
the west: oklahoma will widen its
borders in a few days. Within a week
or two $4,000 acres will be added to our
territory, and it will be settled within an
hour from the time it's declared open for
settlement. The land has been pur-
chased from the Indians, and is good
enough for any white man. You don't
hear of anybody out there talking much
politics now; everybody is busy with the
finest crop mortal eyes ever gazed upon.
No; Oklahomians are not worrying
themselves about 1899 and its candi-
dates. We do not vote, and, although
we may feel intensely interested, our in
terest bears close resemblance TO that
which quadrennially makes its appear
ance in Washington. AS to national
matters, Oklahoma is overwhelmingly
Republican. Do you know that we are
going to have the finest state in the
union some of these daysY
Hon. Warren G. Sayre, of Wabash,
who has been here several days on bust
ness connected with the work of the
Cherokee commission, of which he is
member, says:
"Twenty thousand people are ready
to move in on the lands which are to be
opened in Oklahoma next week. Five
thousand quarter-sections means 5000
families, and, averaging four to fam
lily, that gives lis 10000 people. Who
did we get this land from? From the
Iowas. Sacs and Foxes, Absentees,
Shawnees and Pottawatomies. Con
tracts with them have been ratified by
congress, and the land will be thrown
open in a few days. A contract with
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes has been
ratified, but as those Indians have not
yet taken the allotments due them there
can be no immigration; the Indians
must have first choice. When they
have been allotted, though, there will
be a surplus Of at least $500, 600 acres
$4,000 homesteads. When congress
meets there will be presented to it an
agreement with the Kickapoos by
which an additional tract of $4,000
acres can be turned into public land
All together the soil we have purchased
will provide homes for $780, 900 people
Each purchase by the provisions of the
existing laws adds so much to the terri
tory of Oklahoma, and when the desired
ratifcations and allotments have been
made Oklahoma will be three times its
present size. No portion of the United
States has made better showing than
Oklahoma, and within a year we will
have a population Of at least 100000"

Arrested For an Old Crime.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 14.-William
Meadows, of Ell Reno, o. T., has been
arrested for a murder committed in
Texas sixteen years ago. For many
years Meadows has gone under the as
snmed name of w. ID. Rodeam, and for
two years past has been United States
marshal. During the past two months he
has brought suit against large number
of cattlemen, in behalf of the govern
ment, charging them with illegal pas
turing 140,0 600 head of cattle ON the
Cherokee strip and other Indian lands.
The cattlement first tried to buy Ro-
DEAN off, then they made threats but
failed in both, and finally discovered the
crime committed by him when a mere
youth, and turned him over to the Off
GERS. Thus they hope to get rid of him,
and retain illegal possession of the 10,-
000, 900 acres of land.

Up IT GOES.
The Price Of BreadStuffs in the
Markets of Germany.
Almost 90 Per Cent. Above
That of a Year Ago.

The Recent Russian Edict Cuts or Nearly
Five-Sixths of the Entire Foreign Rye
supply of the German Empiro--The
French. English and Germans Must De-
pend Upon Us for Bread.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Consul Cen
eral Mass, at Frankford, Germany, re-
ports to tho state department that there
is very little pure wheaton bread eaten
by the middle and lower classes in Ger
many. The staff of life for the majority
of Germans is black bread, consisting Of
a mixture Of rye and an inferior quality
OF wheat, and the consumption of this is
enormous. In 1890 Germany imported
947, 1915 tons Of rye, of which 96 per cent,
as well as IS per cent. of the wheat i'm
ported into the country, came from Rus
sia. The late edict cuts off nearly FIVE
sixths Of the entire foreign rye
supply to Germany. The deficit cannot
be filled from any known source in the
Old World. The effect Of the situation
upon the rye market is startling. One
year ago rye was selling In Berlin at $50
a ton Of e,220 pounds; on Aug. 8 Of this
year the meager harvest raised the
market price to $52.24, and within
twelve days the Russian edict raised
it to $61.98.
The end has not been reached yet.
The potato crop throughout nearly the
whole of Germany is short and inferior,
and the result of the late spring, and
the cold, wet, cloudy summer, is that
the food question has assumed an omin-
GUS aspect throughout the country. A
strong demand has been made that the
government shall suspend, Professionally,
the import duty on cereals; but thus far
the situation has not been regarded as
sufficiently serious to require such q
step. The only concession that has yet
been made is the reduction of the freight
tariff on cereals ON all the state railways
of Russia, which took effect ON the lst
Of September, and will facilitate the
distribution of grain throughout large
portion of the empire. But II will not
create single pound of breadstuffs be-
yond what already exists, and the peo-
Pile Of Germany, like those Of France
and England, viii have to draw upon
the granaries of the United States for
large part of their food supplies during
the coming year.

CHICAGO, Sept 14.-Secretary of War
Proctor who has recently been ap-
pointed by Governor Page, of Vermont,
to succeed Hon. George F. Edmunds in
the United States senate is accompanied
by Governor Page and party of friends.
He is making final tour of the mill
tary stations of the west previous to his
resignation as secretary in order to ac-
cept the senatorship. In an interview he
said:
1--WE will probably have less trouble
this winter with Indians than for a num-
Der of years past. For this condition of
things much is due to the intelligent
policy of General Miles.
81 feel great interest in the plan to
make fighting Indians soldiers in the
regular army, and promise to make a
thorough inquiry into its practicability.
The number of military stations in the
west will probably not be decreased, as
has been reported for a number of years.
The number is now about down to u
minimum"
The secretary will go from here to the
posts in Minnesota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Nebraska and other points. He is
accompanied by Quartermaster General
Holobild, Major Schwab and Lieuten-
ant Howard. He will retire from the
cabinet he SAYS, Nov. I.

RUBE BURROWS CAPToRs.

Government.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Postmaster
General Wanamaker has directed that
warrants aggregating $4,000 be ap-
proved, and chat jefferson D. Carter, of
marlborough, Ala, and Thomas v.
jackson, of Aberdeen, Miss, each re.
ceive $1,000, and that the remaining
$1,000 be equally divided between six
other persons. These men were instru-
mental in the capture of the notorious
outlaw, Rube Burrows and his gang in
Alabama last fall.
Burrows, besides committing crimes,
held up a mail train and robbed it. A
reward of 81 900 was offered for the ar
rest and conviction of Rube Burrows,
Rube Smith and another member Of the
gang. The question before the depart
ment was whether the captors could,
under the law, receive the reward in
view of the fact that the outlaws were
neither tried nor convicted, but We're
killed during the encounter. The post
master general holds that there was
proof positive of the guilt of the gang,
although its members were never formal
ly convicted in court, and on this ground
he directs that the captors receive the re-
ward offered.

NEW York, Sept. 14.--O'Donovan
Rosa publishes in his newspaper, The
United Irishmen, this week, some re-
markable correspondence he had with
the state department relative to q pass
port that he wanted, guaranteeing him
freedom from arrest in Ireland, and
which was refused. In answer to Ros-
sa's first letter Asst slant Secretary of
State Wharton sent passport in the
usual form to Rosa inclosed in letter,
in which he said; "The department can
not furnish you with passport. in any
other form, and cannot give youta guar
antee against arrest in foreign countries
on criminal charges"
Rosa wrote back to Secretary Blaine
that he understood there was treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain which stipulated that an Ameri-
can citizen could not be held in prison in
Great Britain for any political words or
action Of his in this country, and that
he wanted to know whether such pro-
lection was afforded an American citi-
zen or not. He received the following re-
ply from the assistant secretary; II
have TO state that there Is no arrange
ment of any kind in force between the
United States and Great Britain on the
subject to which your letter relates"

Fatal Fight Between Races.

WICHITA, Kas., Sept. l4.--A fatal
fight between races marked the close Of
the old soldiers reunion at Dover, o. T.,
this afternoon. Dissatisfaction over a
horse trade started the fracas between
white and colored man, and in mo-
ment the associates of both were active
combatants in n fight in which knives,
pistols and clubs were freely used. A
body of United States marshals finally
restored order, and when the result OF
the fight was ascertained it was found
that two colored men, named Whitworth
and Steele were killed and that dozen
others were seriously shot or stabbed.

TO BE MADE A CAMPAIGN ISSUE.
The Question of ReopeninG the Georgia
Confederate Home.

ATLANTA, Sept. IA. - The Georgia
home for Confederate soldiers has been
formally thrown into the field as the
issue upon which the next state election
must be fought. The trustees of the
institution held their regular meeting q
few days ago. Several plans were sug-
gested by which the home might be sup
ported and the doors be opened for the
admission of inmates. All these were
rejected, however, by the adoption of
motion that the building be closed up,
and that the Confederates of the state
should be appealed TO at the coming
election to say whether they wished to
abandon their poor and crippled com
rades or not 1t was reported from all
parts of the state that the people were
up in arms NJ the action of the Alliance
legislature in having rejected the home,
and they were only awaiting chance to
relegate to the rear the "traitorous
ninty-four." The home was, therefore,
closed, and the question of its future now
rests with the people.

recently during which Moore was 80

are not partial to rural life. On the con-

that at the present time farmers have

CRITICISED.
Some Expressions Used by President
Johnson in a unIveTsiIy Address.

To the Editor of THE A D
CHEYENNE, June l6-The attention
OF a goodly number of the citizens Of
Wyoming has been drawn to certain
utteranees of the reverend president OF
the state university at Laramie in some
Of his recent ~discourses, notably in his
baccalaureate address of last Sunday
evening. These utterances are calculated
to wound and ~irritate the religious sensi-
bilities and feelings of many worthy and
law abiding members OF this
wealth, and to Justify the misgivings
with which many people, at the time,
regarded the appointment of a minister
of anv denomination to the position of
head and chief manager of a non
sectarIan state institution. 1t was the
proud boast, so well sustained under its
former broad-minded, scholarly and cul-
tured president (now editor of the State
JourHdD that the university Of Wyoming
was utterly free from and immeasurably
superior to any petty racial or religious
prejudice or bigotry. The present in
cumbcnt. on many occasions before and
after his installation, vehemeutly protest
ed that, during his tenure of office, no
discrimination should be exercised against
any form Of religion. But his recen
animadversions on at least one religious
body, and that one the most ancient and
the most numerous in Christendom, 90 to
prove that either an atrabllious
ment, or q too fanatical devotion to the
principles and enets of John Wesley has
shattered his resolutions and warped his
judgment. Most right-thiuking people,
Of every form of belief. have long since
come to the conclusion that anything hav.
ing a tendency to engender or stir up
religious bitterness is to be deprecated at
all times and in all places, and that it
should certainly not be allowed to per
meate and infect our state institutions,
where all are equal before the law. Sim
liar attempts in former times resulted in
deplorable strife and scandal. They have
passed into obsolete and unpleasant
history. Let us keep that volume closed
permanently. CATHOLIC CITIZEN.
