eoRsTs EMIGRATION REMEDY.

A Prominent English Official Advocates
Popular Ownership of Land.
LONDON, Sept 90. Sir John Gorst
has cast bombshell into the Conserva-
tive camp by his utterance ON the neces-
sity Of making popular the ownership of
land. The favorite Tory remedy for
overcrowding is emigration. While the
Liberals have never come out boldly in
favor of the division of the soil among
the people, and the multiplication of
small orders, they have claimed that
emigration was not the proper remedy,
and that there was room enough in
England for all Englishmen. Now Sir
John Gorst dares to say what the Liber-
ais have limited at; that the private
parks and preserves must be cut up as
homes for the people, and the people
be given chance to become owners. II
Sir John remains in the service of the
Tory cabinet it is only because they are
afraid to drop him.

MADE A LARGE HAUL.


RObbed OF q Large Amount.
LONDON, Sept. 90. The banking world
of this city has just been startled by the
announcement that an important bank
robbery has taken place in this city.
The institution that has suffered is the
London and Westminster bank, an i'm
portant establishment, having over fif-
teen branch houses in this city. The
money stolen, it would appear, consisted
of a large parcel of bills RENTED from
the country banks to the London and
Westminster bank. The thief or thieves
must have cleverly watched for the
proper opportunity to accomplish the
robbery and to have gained access to an
apartment near the main entrance to
the bank. This apartment was easy of
access from the street, and the parcel of
bills is supposed to have been stolen
while the bank officials were busily en-
gagged in another apartment, in going
over the accounts of last weeks settle
ment. Bank officials decline to make
any statement for publication as to the
actual loss incurred by the London and
Westminster bank, but is currently re-
ported that the amount stolen is not less
than $3.50, 900, and that it may amount
to as much as 81 ,250, 900.

THE SITUATION IN HAWAII.

No Present Danger Of . Revolution-An-
nexation to United States Talked or
LONDON, Sept. 90. - Advices from
Hawaii state that there is no present
danger of revolution in that country,
although the resources and temper OF
the people are undergoing severe test
owing to the low price of sugar and
there is some talk, although not definite,
of a republic or annexation to the United
States. The queen is personally popular,
fact which has tendency to keep
down discomfort and it is possible that
any fundamental change in the system
of government viii be deferred until
after her death. Nevertheless some
foreign residents think that a crisis may
come at any time. Americans are not
alone in favoring annexation to the
United States, many of the natives being
of the same view.

The Rulh TO the Sac and Fox Reserya.
tiSns Greater Than That to
Oklahoma.
Forty Thousand People Cross the Line
From Oklahoma at the Given
Signal,
All Intent Upon Getting One OF the
5000 Claims-SeriOus Trouble
Anticipated.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 23.-The day of
opening has arrived. The surging mass
of humanity on the line awaited with
impatience the coming of high noon,
when, at given signal, they started on
wild pell NELL rush for the promised
land. Fully 10000 people were ON the
line and there was wild scramble for
the 5000 claims and 1000 town lots. A
crowd of nearly 5000 in camp at Topee
will start in body for the new county
seat of Chandler. They declare that
they will not wait till Friday for the
survey to be completed, but will take
the town by force during the night, and
if they fail in this they will found
town in the morning on the adjoining
section. The company of soldiers at
the town have orders to shoot and blood
will flow freely if the attempt Is made.
At Perkins 5000 people are fighting and
struggling to get on the bridge crossing
the Cimarron river, and when the signal
is given to go many will be crushed on
the bridge if it does not give
way and precipitate them into the
river. At Langston the negroes are
getting very excited. The sight of a
gang of COW boys camped near by in
flames their anger and mutterings are
heard on every side. At Cimarron
City 500 Presbyterians, led by tall, raw
boned preacher, are waiting to be led
into the land of promise by their mod
ern messiah. At the Sac and Fox
agency, on the east side the crowd Is
turbulent, several men having been
killed already. Along the line whisky
jugs and bottles are plenty and many
men are now intoxicated. The 100 dep.
uty marshals and the handful of soldiers
are unable to do anything with the
crowd. The number of women on
horseback is remarkably large and fully
20 per cent. of the claims will be Sc
cured by the fair sex. In this cit
everything is deserted. Stores ais
closed and doctors, lawyers, preachers
and everybody have gone to the new
Eldorado. The boomers bought SC
many supplies that a provision famine
now exists. Hundreds of men who ar
rived ON the midnight train could not
get conveyances and are walking to the
line. while scores slept in the streets
