WAITING TO MOVE.
Settlers Ready to Enter the New Oklahoma
Lands.

GUTHRIE 70. T.). Sept. 19.-The excite
ment grows hourly greater among the pe0-
pie who will make race for homes in In-
dian lands next Tuesday. There are several
causes for excitement, chief among them
being a large number of negroes, who have
gathered by hundreds at Langston, the
Oklahoma negro colony. and who intend to
move en- masse upon CimarrOn Valley, tie
best, perhaps, of all the lands, and settle
there to the exclusion of all other settlers.
Many white settlers are among them, and
numbers of desperate and unscrupuloas
cowboys object to the negroes plans aud
will take desperate chances to pre-empt
choice claims in the very face of the negro
hosts. The most desperate say they will
oppose by force the wholesale settlement Of
negroes in the valley. Cooler heads, how
ever, know that the race will be to the swift,
no matter what his color is. Ii the negroes
get there first he land is theirs. II Sife
whites odtrun the negroes the latter must
look elsewhere Tor claims.
Another cause for excitement is the hatred
of the Indians for the negro. The SacS and
Foxes claim their lands were sold to the Gov
ernment under the distinct agreemen ent that
they were to be opened tC white settle
| ment" Cimarron Valley includes portion
Of their lands, and between hostile Indians
and desperate cowboys the negro IS having
an exciting time OF IL. Sull an0tner cause
for excitement is the uncertainty as to just
what lands may be claimed by the ordinary
settler. A settler may make successful
race for certain section of land and may
claim 1t, but when he goes to the Land Office
to file his claim he may find he has claimed
the Indians allotment or an old soldiers
pre-emptiOn. The Land Office here is be-
seged by veterans or their representatives.
They have formed a long line, which
stretches from the door three or four
squares. In the line are several old soldiers
ard many spectators. who have purchased
for a triflng sum declaration statements Of
old soldiers and who sell them to the high
est bidder. Others have taken places in line
simply to sell them to less fortunate persons.
Out on the border there is little excite
ment. 1t is restless expectancy there.

tents and brush-huts for the most rart but
many have no covering but blanket with
sod for bed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The Secretary
of the Interior has instructed the Registrars
and Receivers of the Land Offices at Okla

agreement does not refer to color, but
means that persons duly qualified under the
laws of the United States, without regard
to color, may make settlement.

Queen" THE Queens health was solemnly
drunk. and Sir Henry again came In Win a
few words for the President OF the Unlseu
States. Parts of his speech were as i0i-
lows: "a am confident you will receive lhe
next toast with equal heartiness. His Ex-
cellency, President of the United States,
elected representative of 65000.00 people,
occupies during his term of Office unique
position among nations. He presides over
country containing within itself products oil
all climes-from Alaska ice TO the orange
groves of Florida. 1t will be bad time for
Great Britain when the United States, ceaS-
ing to levy protective duties, completes WIN
US more actively in the markets OF thS
world" Consul General Knapp responded
to this toast.
ERAsTUs wIMAN's SPEECH
Erastus Wiman, in the course of his ad-
dress. said: The great tunnel which to-day
is opened for the first time for traffic is ioano
q fitting complement of the magnihcent
achievement of the Canadian railway sys-
tens, but while British capital within Brit
ish territory has done so much toward tue
development of the most important portion
of the United States how strange Is it tnat
relative progress has not been made within
Canada itself. 1t is an interesting problem
to solve to account for the retardatlon
of progress more remarkable tnan tne
world has ever before witnessed. In vain Is
the cause sought for In natural or pnyslcal
or financial disabilities. 1t seems to reside
only within a political condition. when,
while extremely favorable to Canada, so lar
as freedom and good government is con-
cerned, nevertheless, by her foreign policy,
she has materially retarded her progress lor
selfish political ends. A barrier has been
erected athwart the continent which com
pletely iSolates one section Of the English
Speaking race from the other, and which
even the great tunnels and great rail-
way arteries pierce In vain. SO
far as increase in intimacy OF the relations
between the two peoples are concerned. NO
trade between two countries Will ever exist
to Justify so large an expenditure so long
as the policies of both are actuated by
reciprocity in tariffs rather than reciprocity
in trade. Let US hope the great tunnel
which we now inaugurate will illustrate the
blessed advantage of unrestricted inter-
course to such a degree that. before long,
the perfect reciprocity which exists between
the States Of the Union and provinces pf
the Dominion will be created between the
two nations"

others were seriously hurt 1t was an in

HARRISBURG, Sept. 19.-At this morn

Treasurer and the Auditor Generals office,
Auditor General McCammant was subjected
to rigid examination. In answer to a
question as to why Bardsley was permitted
to retain the liquor license money long after
it was due the State, the Audtor-General
said he frequently pressed Bardsley for a
settlement, but had been put off with all
manner of excuses from time TO time /;
among other things, that more time was
asked by the banks in which funds were de-
posted, owing to a stringency in the money
market. The Auditor-General denied EN-
phatically that he had any knowledge of
Bardsley's collecting State taxes and hold
ing the money in the banks for his own pur-
poses and benefit. There was no arrange
ment between Bardsley and himself regard
ing the State funds, nor between Bardsley
and any agent of his, and he had derived no
political or personal gain from any such
source. A letter, bearing the signature Of
the AuditOr-Genera, dated September 3,
1889, asking Bardsley for 100000, as the
State Treasurer was a little pressed and
this would help him out, was read. A let
ter from Cashier Livesey. dated November
26, 1889, told BardSley that he need only
send 5000. McCammant said he did not
compel Bardsley to make full returns be-
