mer, communicative chief of the Grand
Army OF the Republic, when shown to-
night the dispatch from New Orleans stat
ing that The division of Mississippi and
Louisiana had surrendered the division
charter on account of what they allege is
an attempt on the part OF General Palmer
to force the division to admit colOred vet
errns, said:
"My knowledge of this question I OBJ
tanned in the public press. The officers of
the Louisiana department are fully aware
of the decision of the last national en-
campment Eight white posts object TO
admitting niue colored posts IN that divis-
ion. II Is not reasonable TO suppose that
the representatives of eight posts can over
ride tue voice OF nearly a million men rep
resented at the national encsmDment
where at the last meeting in Detroit, they
tried TO nave created two separate depart
menUs in the dIvision-one for white posts
and one tor colored. SO that each could
have separate meetings. Ihls proposition,
however, was reject ed.
The colored posts recently notified me
that they had rendered their dues to tie

OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATS.

KINGFIsHER o. T., May 80 Especial. l.
The Associated Press has probably given
it out that the Oklahoma delegation to
Chicago is for Grover Cleveland The
speeches in the convention were OF Cleve-
land tone and the resolutions laud him;
but the hard fact remains that while
Cleveland's admirers were making the
noise mis- opponents were getting in their
work, and the result is that Hill has one
of the delegates, while the other will vote
for a western man and not for Grover One
of the delegates is reader of Watterson's
paper and will go with the Kentucky dele
cation for Carlisle or some good western
man."
GUTHRIE, O. T., May 19-The Demo
cratic convention at kingfisher did not end
till four O'Clock a. m. Cleveland captur ed
the convention at the start and remained
in the lead. John /. Levy of Norman and
Joseph HaskiEs of kingfisher are the dele
gates aud go uninstructed. The resolutions
indorse Cleveland: condemn the admins
tration of Harrison and the Mckinley bill;
declare for tariff reform. for home rule for
Oklahoma ami better public land laws:

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, May 19.-The flood excitement
broke out in IA new place today-the Chi
cago board of trade. The newspapers were
crammed with reports of calamities in all
directions by water, and everybody on
change was apparently apprehensive and
nervous about the crop outlook. The diff

to the washing away OF telegraph poles.
added t6 the abnormal feeling. Swartz-
Dupee got n higher Paris cable and at
tempted TO buy wheat on it. They found
that there was hardly any to be had. and
began to bid up for it. This WAS all that
was necessary to start stampede. After
few sales had been made at S01s cents
there was rapid boom to 50 cents. There
was d large lot for sale at this point, and u
quick break to 81 Is cents followed.
Corn shared in the excitement. the

TERRITORIAL TOplcC

GUTHRIE, O. T., May 19.-[Speciall- THE
commissions of the regents of the agrcul-
tural college are in the hands of the secre
tdry, awaiting the signature of the gov
ernor. The regents are as follows h. J.

Captain Barker, from county Il, was IN
town yesterday He says that the prospect
is excellent in his county for fine grain
and fruit crop. The last census gives Te-
cumseh /, 100 people. Politics are doubtful,
the Indians being divided. The Captain
seems to be in excellent condition and en-
| joys life in a country village.
| The Democratic delegates have returned
| from kingfsher. They express themselves
| as having been treated very courteously,
both by the convention and Kingfisher. In
fact, it seemed that nothing was too good
for them. Logan received substantial
recognition in the election OF Frank Dale
as permanent chairman and Joseph Wisby
as delegate to Chicago. The governors
resolution. endorsing the Perkins bill now
before congress providing for census and
an election, the committee on resolutions
refused to report affirming that it gave to
him the power of apportioning the terri
tory, and as they had been assured by the
members of the old legislature that should
they be called together they would not
consider any capital or county line matters,
they considered the Perkins bill lnimical
to Democratic interests and unnecessary.
There were 1872 delegates present, and had
it not been for the washouts there would
have been more.
The fight for delegate to congress in
Oklahoma county lies between Harvey and
Murphy, A. c. Scott having withdrawn.
Logan county is solid for Dennis Flynn.
There will be no division here.
Hon. Henry E. Asp spoke before the
Guthrie board of trade last night on
Washington matters. He paid to Colonel
Ross a high compliment for industry and
good Judgment as lobbyist. Guthrie is
well satisfied with what the colonel has
done.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON. May 19.--The free silver
men were greatly disappointed today when
rhe chairman of the committee of the
whole sustained the point of order against
MIR. BANDS amendment, and the disap-
pointment WAS renewed when the chair
tnan also decided a modified amendment
out of order
The third party received recognition this
morning, and Mr.. Watson sent up to the
clerks desk and had read the following
terse resolution:
Resolved. That the committee on WAYS
and means be requested to report the sub
treasury bill"
Mr.. Watson asked unanimous consent
for its consideration, but Mr.. Beltzhoover's
hemand for the regular order operated as
Rn objection.
The house then went into committee of
the whole AIR. Lester In the chair Oh the
sundry civil bill
The chair delivered bis decision on the
point of order made against the amend
ment offered by Mr.. Bland YESTERDAY for
the coinage or all silver bullion purchased
hnd now In the treasury into silver dol
lars. 1t was conceded, said the chair that
the amendment changed the existing law
and therefore it would not be in order un-
less, being germane, it reduced the amount
covered by the bill. The clause related to
the recoinage of abraded minor coins,
while the amendment related to the coin
age of standard silver dollars The chair
was unable to see how the amendment was
Eermane to sthe subject-matter of the
clause. Did5t reduce the amount covered
by the bill? The mere fact that it struck
from the bill an appropriation of S100, 600
Tor the recoInage or minor coins did not
reduce the amount, because it approDri-
Rted The seigniorage, which might amount
TO 81 600. 1t did not reduce the amount
covered by the bill, and it might increase
the expenditures. The chair sustained the
point of order and ruled out the amend
meut
Mr.. Bland then re-offered his amend
ment with this proviso attached to It.:
That the cost of the coinage shall not ex-
Deed $4,000, s., 900 of which shall be for
the coinage OF subsidiary silver and 500, 900
for standard silver dollars.n
Considerable discussion followed. the
chair finally ruling the amendments as
modified, out of order
Mr.. Bland appealed from the decision,
but the committee sustained the decision
of the chair by IA vote of 40 to 75
Mr.. C0gswell of Massachusetts offered
an amendment apprOpriatTng 81, ,0l6. AS for
continuing the work of the eleventh CEN
SuS.
Mr. Savers raised the point of order that
1hls appropriation belonged to the general
deficiency bill.
The chair overruled the point of order.
On standing Vote the amendment was
deieate by "A large majority.
Inc committee then rose and the house
adjourned.
