THE OKLAHOMA CITY CROWD.


OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., April 1S-This
day at least twenty hundred people of all
Nationalities aud classes and in every con-
Gition of life, left this place for the border
of the new country. The 5000 remaining
are hurrying to and fro making final ar
rangements. Most of those remaining will
5eave here tomorrow morning at 6 O'Clock
over the Choctaw, which will run two
trains of nine coaches each. The city will
ae depOpulated Of many of its residents,
and business will virtually be suspended
The banks and other places have cen
Guided not TO open unless they can have
good guards, for fear that raiders may
take advantage of the situation.
The old line AT the land office is still
holding its place, but it is now certain
that when l. o'clock is called tomorrow
three hundred, who failed to get places in
the line, will make rush regardless of
position, and thus IN the hurry to climb
10 the third story, where the land Office is
located, the first place Will be given 10 the
} est man. Public land in the United
States Is about all gone, and spectators
and homeseekers will make their last and
desperate effort. Ali kinds of convey
ances can be seen, mingled with the fine
turnouts of sightseeTs. 1t is one grand
good -natured, yet determined, throuC, and
s ssight never TO be witnessed again.
The route from here 10 the border is lined
WITH pSOpie-SOme going slow, others
Rt full speed. Here aud there is a broken
wagon or a dead horse, or some one sick.
or talking with some person with a man
and pen, ink and paper, who knows all
about IT, Then next Is met freight teams.
with GROCERIES, meat, lumber, agricultur-
al implements. hardware and general out
fitting supplies, and ice aud water wagons
in shert, everything for city and country
life. The light-fngered gentry. with
large diamond Sud and a look of lamb
like innocence, can be observed teaching
the young idea ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain.
This being the most available railroad
point to the new country, as well AS the
only place where ACCOMMODATIONS eau be
had for the throng, the largest crowd will
leave here. but IL as many leave from ali
other points As from here. it is fair to say
that % 900 Will enter from the east line,
and will be standing nose and nose like a
grand cavalry charge, on the eastern bor-
der tomorrow at u O'Clock
Bugles sounding and military commands
can be heard IN all quarters OF the city,
and detachments of infantry and cavalry
are crowding here and their executing
military orders. The Indians are hockiDp
TO the city from the old reservations. and
for the first time in their lives are cou-
scious of the fact that there are more
whites than Indians. They are bewailing
their condition, as they never realized
what il would be to coufine themselves 10

IL is Just rumored that two confidence
men, who succeeded in robbing a boomer.
were shot dead somewhere on the route to
the new country.

The Struggle for Bread In Vienna.

The distribution Of bread to the poor
Of Vienna took place Tuesday between
IL o'clock and noon, in order To make
sure that only the unemployed received
aims. Though 6 200 large loaves, which
had cost 1900 forms, or El00. were
given out, several hundred starving peo-
pie had to go away empty handed. Tho
scenes witnessed were perhaps the worst
that have occurred as yet. II was pitt
able in the extreme to SEQ wretch
edly clad women, with babies in arms,
and children, fighting as for their lives
for loaf of bread. into which. hot as It
was from the bakery, they cut like hun

Similar scenes were witnessed az the
distribution Of bread TO men. About
twenty people tainted in the crush. and
those who saw the bitter disappointment
of the many who, after waiting for
hours, finally received nothing, will
never forget the spectacle Of human
misery and went. -Four thousand two

IIEAvENwoRTH. Kan, April 1S.-In the
district court today Mrs Anna 3. Halder-
man was granted divorce from her hus-
band, General John A. Halderman, minis
ter to Siam during President Grants ad-
ministration. The charge made was de-
sertion. For some years General Halder
man has not lived with his wife Six
months ago she instituted proceedings for
obtaining a divorce but withdrew the
suit when the general came here and an
nounced his intention to fight the case.

mutual agreement. The case WAS heard
privately in chambers and a divorce
granted as above stated. Mrs. Halderman
comes of wealthy St Louis family and
is said to be worth 100000 in her own
right. General Haldeman claims that he
was worth Sl00 00G wheu he married her,
and that half his fortune is mixed up with
hers in their property. He says that no
agreement as to a division was made prior
TO the granting of the divorce. but he in5i-
mates that he will take measures to secure
his share OF the property.

In Paris the idea of entertainments bv
telephone has been so FAR developed that
a company has been formed to provide a
theater telephone service. instruments
are placed in clubs, hotels. cafes ana
restaurants, and various performances
are constantly on tap. BY dropping a
half franc into a slot the vicarious thea
ter goer obtains communication with
his fsvorite playhouse for five minutes,
and if he tifnes his connection properly
he can hear the song which has become
the hit of the season at very small
charge. A private service of similar
nature is also contemplated. and before
long it viii be quite natural for n host 10
give theater party in his own drawing
room.
There is always peculi,.r fascination
for the general public in listening by
means of the telephone TO entertain
ments which are given at distance.
One of the most attractive features Of
electrical exhibitions is always the tele-
phone section, where number of tele-
phones provide entertainments Ion tap"
from theaters and concert halls. This
was particularly noticeable at the PARIS
electrical exhibition held some years
ago, and at the Lenox lyceum in New
York. The telephone section was crowd
ed all the evening with delighted listen

spANlsH ELEcIloN RIOTS.

BARCELONA, April 1S.-This city was
today the scene of n number of affrays.
some of which are likely TO result seriously
to number of the participants. The oc-
casion was bye-election for member of
the cortes. Partisan. feeling was excited
to the highest degree, and free fights were
OF frequent occurrence. Sticks and knives
were freely used as weapons OF defense and
offense and some very severe wounds were
inflicted. In the midst of the uproar two
men armed with revolvers and knives en-
tered the polling booth, and, rushing up
to the platform, seized the voting box and
smashed 1T to pieces, the ballots being
scattered in every direction. The specta-
tors attempted to arrest the men, but the
latter slashed right and lett with their
knives and cut their way out of the booth.
They made good their escape.
+. Salmeron, the well known Republican,
an ex member of the cortes, who was de-
feated at the general election in February,
1891, WAS elected.

A MUNICIPAL DEADLOCK.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. April 1S-The city
council was unable TO organize today
owing to the fact that the Democratic
members abseuted themselves for the pur-
pose of breaking quorum. The couucil
Is composed OF an equal number of Repub-
licans and Democrats. When the council
met the Democrats discovered that one of
their number was absent, and they lost no
time in getting ont OF the chamber The
sergeant-at-3rms issued warrants for their
arrest, in order 70 compel their at
tendance, but the officers were nable 10
serve them. The Democrats had antici-
pated this action and fed to Kansas, out
OF the jurisdiction of the city. They tele-
graphed to their friends in the city to-
night 20 find the original absent memb
and hold him until the meeting tomorrow.

RING SEA

WASHINGTON, April lS-The modus
vivendi for the protection of the Bering
sea seal fisheries during the tendency of
the arbitration, which has been the sub
iect of negotiations between Secretary
Blaine aud the British minister, was
brought to the capitol about O'Clock this
afternoon. For some reason, not now ap-
parent it was under an Injunction of
secrecy, and therefore was not laid before
the senate in open session. Mr. Sherman.
however, was notified by the president of
the nature of the communication, and
moved that the senate go into executive
session. Accordingly the doors were
closed and the seals were broken and the
modJs read TO the senate.
1t appears from the reading of the docu-
meut that Secretary Blaine and the Brit
ish minister have been spending the time
since March 10 last, when the British
government consented TO renew the
modus, N trying to phrase the conditions
relative TO damages, so as to be advan-
tageous for their respective governments
The agreement just reached Is said to be a
fair mean between the two extreme
propositions advanced by each side Il
appears that IL will unlike the first
modus, require the approval of the senate,
inasmuch as The document proposes a per
mauent settlement of the damages and
provides for means of adjusting the claims.
The discussion today was generally in the
same line that characterized the preceding
debates some Of the senators called at
tention to what they regarded as imper-
fectious in the document. and it was
finally referred to the committee on for
eiEn relations

AS Mills and Eliza Courts were conducted

LONDON, April 1S.-Midwinter weather
has again set in Snowstorms are pre-
vailing throughout the length and width
of the kingdom, and budding trees and
sprouting crops are much damaged. The
cold shows no sign of abatement. In many
places the ground is covered with snow "a
foot deep. In some parts of the country
the storms have been as severe as any that
occurred during the wiuter-regular bliz-
yards, in fact. Meteorological observations
show that the storm now prevailing is
travelling in northwesterly direction, and
dispatches announce that it is being felt in
the Baltic. Heavy snow storms are rag
ing today in North Wales and Cheshire.
Dispatches from Paris and places in the
north of France state that hail and sleet
are falling and that the weather is bitterly
cold 1t is feared that much damage will
be done to early crops.

THE WYOMING GATTLEMEN.
The Rustlers Preparing to Make trouble for
the Bluecoats,

CHEYENNE, Wy, April 1S-Tbere is
much anxiety felt here by the state officials
over the situation in Johnson county. The
| only wire from Buffalo has been down
since yesterday morning, and no lnforma-
! tion has been received from there by Gov
ernor Barber. Information from Douglas
and other Platte river towns is that small
parties of ranchmen are leaving daily Tor
the north to JOIN the J Johnson county ranch
men. This causes some alarm, as lt is
feared that there will be general gather
ing of ranchmen from all over the north
ern parts of the state, and in the event OF any
conflict between the civil authorities OF the
county and the state government there
wiu be serious trouble. The suggestion OF
this governor to have the prisoners remov-
ed o Douglas is believed to have aroused
strong opposition in johnson county and
to have created the impression that the
prisoners were to be taken out of the reach
of the county authorities and thus escape
punishment.
No steps have been taken to bring the
prisoners TO Douglas. The governor dis
claims any intention of shielding them
from the action of the law, and says that
thew Will be turned over to the civil au
thorities as soon as they can protect them
from mob violence. Ii these assurances
reach johnson county the excitement may
be allaved 1t is generally believed here
that the laws will be observed in the fu-
ture treatment of the prisoners there vii!
be 40 attempt at violence toward any or
them. The rumor that the troops at Fort
Russell have been called out is denied by
the officers OF the regiment stationed here
OMAHA, April 1S-The telegraph hne TO
Buffalo, wy, was still down today. Cen
eral Brooke said that he had heard moth
ing from the scene of the Rustler troubles
since Saturday morning
GILLETTE, Wy. April 1S.-Colonel Van
Horne of the Sixth cavalry was to have
left Fort Mckinney yesterday with his
prisoners. Hesse;; Ford and Elliott, and 1t
is supposed that he did, but nothing was
seen or heard of him. His destination
was Fort Douglas or Salt Lake City. 1t IS
feared that he will not reach there with
out trouble. A thousand well armed
rustlers, commanded by NJ. A. Ryder, a
young preacher, are lying in wait for
the troops, and swear that they Will get
possession of the prisoners and hang them
If they have to kill Van Horne and all his
men to do So It is thought by some that
Van Horne will change his course and
take his prisoners to Russell, near Chey-
enne, where the Seventeenth infantry is
stationed, evidently being under the i'm
preston that he can make this fort with
out being interrupted by the rustlers. 1t
Is considered ominous that no word has
been received from the troops. The wires
have been down for several hours, and 1t
is thought that they have been cut by the
rustlers, who have met and fought the
troops, and want the news kept from mil
itary authorities as long as possible.
