Manifest Destinv.

GUTHRIE, o. T., April Ex-Governor Seay
returned from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
reservations, having spent week in the sad
die, and in this time witnessed a 1000, 600
acre tract of land change from primeval
wilderness to farming community. thickly
dotted with homes, and f1anked by q half
score OF busy growing towns. Nowhere else
on earth has such transformation taken
place. Thirty thousand permanent residents
are now building homes where a week ago
was nothing but the Indian and the prairie
dog. The governor is perfectly satisfied with
tne Perfectlon OF all arrangements of the
opening, and is proud of the people of Okla
homa and the entire west, because of the
great respect for law and order shown by ali
throughout the exciting scenes of the OPEN
ing. Up to the time OF his leaving the reser-
vation he had been unable to learn of any
trouble of any kind, and further reports re-
ceayed paake it absolutely certain that not q
hostile shot was fired, not a single man
wounded or injured during Or since the OPEN
ing. Colonel Wade, commanding at Fort
Reno, telegraphs that all reports of conflicts
between soldiers and sooners and between
different parties of settlers have been Thor
oughly Investigated and are absolutely with
out foundation. Reports from every county
Ieat state that business is starting out nicely;
that all is quiet and there has been no trouble
Of any kind. All this shows that. contrary to
The general belief in the east, the people of
Oklahoma and the whole west are law-abid-
ing. Great credit is also due Governor Seay
fof the smooth manner in which everything
passed of, as he had charge of affairs, and
exhibited remarkable executive ability in
handling so great a crowd under such exclt-
ng circumstances.

A New American Industry,


WASHINGTON, d. c., May IRA Aver, a
special agent of the treasury department,
has, pursuant to instructions, submitted to
Secretary Foster an exhaustive report of the
tin plate business of the country and the
growth of the tin industry. Mr.. Ayers re-
port makes the following showing:
Quarter ended September 80, 1891, five
manufacturers reported tin plates, 152,4s9
pounds; terne plates, ga, 433 pounds. Total,
826, 922 pounds. fye
Quarter ended December 81, eleven manu-
facturers reported tin plates, 215, oil pounds;
teIue plates, 1, 193, $40 pounds. Total, ,4O9,-
81 pounds.
Quarter ended March 81, 1892, nineteen
manufacturers reported tin plate, 1,099, 656
pounds; terne plates, 1,9O4, 431 pounds. To
tai, Z, 0N ,087 pounds.
These figures do not include the produc-
ton of sheet iron or sheet steel used in the
manufacture of articles timed or terne- plated,
estimated at 2,OOO 600 pounds.
Mr.. Aver says the indications are that un-
der existing conditions the production of the
country before the close of the second fiscal
year will be in excess of an annual rae of
zoo, O00, 600 pounds. Accompanying the re-
port are large number of letters from man.

and prospects and generally expressing
hope that the law will bepermitted to remain

The Cherokee Strip Test Case.

The Cherokee Strip Test Case.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, April 30.-On a promis-
,ory note for 81 900 there was tried in the
circuit court, before Special Judge C. o.
Hchenor, a case which is almost of national
importance. and one that will without doubt,
% carried to the highest courts whichever
way the trial Judge may decide. The case is
hat of the Cherokee Strip association against
Hall Bros, of this city, and the firm of Pry-
Or Bros, ranchmen, for the collection of a
acres of land in the Cherokee strip. This
,ase is merely test, and on its issue will de-
pend the bringing of others aggregating
about $4,000. After hearing all the evi-
aence in the case, which was but very little,
md receiving copies of countless Indian
treaties and contracts, Special Judge Tiche-
nor took the matter under advisement.
Apart from its legal aspect, this case Is of
much popular interest, as in the trial the
question raised was the right of the Chero-
KEGS to the land they now occupy at all
whether it is theirs in fee simple or only by
possession. The plaintiffs held to the fee
simple claim, and the defendants insisted
that the Indians were only occupying their
lands by right of possession. In support of
General Shields and Secretary Noble, and
the proclamations of Presidents Cleveland
and Harrison, were introduced as evidence,
I'll of which incline to the opinion that the
Cherokees have no fee simple interest in the
land. On the other hand the opinion rem
3ered by Judge Brewer while on the Kansas
bench, in the case of the state against Hun
ter, was introduced to show that the Indians
we're absolute owners of the land, with the
night to do with it as they pleased. 1t is with
theee various and seemingly conflicting
opinions that the trial Judge has now to deal.

est horse in his stable and take him to
thompson, the residence of his brother-in-
law, +. ID. Green. Just as the horse was har-
messed Green arrived at the stable. With q
mutual smile of recognition they shook hands
and the order for the horse was counter
manded. Ward, a few minutes later, was
brought face to face with his son. Clarence,
bright Lad of years, who is living with
MI: Green. He kissed the lad passionately,
and then got into the carriage, and, with his
arm around the boy, drove to Thompson.
he showed continual signs of affection, his
eyes Teasing on the one object 50 near to his
heart. The lad did not quite comprehend
the state of affairs.
Ward has not seen the boy since his incar-
ceration and Mr.. Green has had charge of the
child since the death of his mother. Every
one is fondly attached to the bright little fell
low, who doesn't know of his fathers history.
MI: Green formerly lived in New York,
but has lived in a quiet way in Thompson
for six or seven years, where he is highly re-
spected and is superintendent of Sunday
school. Ward was dressed in a neat suit of
gray, with top coat and black hat. He gives
no intimation as to his future plans, but will
doubtless remain for time at Thompson.

The PHILADELPHIA Ei-e.

PHILADELPHIA, April 3O-The destruction
of the Grand Central theater by fire proves
to have been far more terrible in its results
than was anticipated. Six members of the
"Devil's Auction" company lie dead beneath
the fallen walls of the building, ana nearly
three score of people are in the hospital suf-
fering from burns.
Ut the men and boys in the hospital seven
are in such serious condition that their re-
covery is doubtful. All were members of the
audience. Besides those who were seriously
enough hurt to remain in the hospitals, fully
nifty others were treated for minor injuries.
Colonel A. Z. Mcclure, editor of the Times,
lost his valuable political library, which he
has been collecting for the last fifty years,
and which can never be replaced.
1t is feared that many will lose their eye
sight, as their burns are all mostly about the
face.
The estimate placing the loss at 81 ,COo,OOO
is about correct.

The Mississippi river to the gulf is gradually

Remember Our Homes."

Remember Our Homes"
NASHVILLE, TENN, May 3.-At o'clock at
night crowd of 200 men went to the Jail,
broke down the gate and with whoop surged
into the Jail yard.
One man had rope in his hand, another a
sledge hammer. None of them were dis
guised. A call was made for Sheriff Hill he
appeared and the leader told him the crowd
wanted to get at least one of the negroes.
Il can't let you have any of them," said
the sheriff.
''Well, Bill, we don't want to hurt you, but
we will have that negro"
II ask you not to take him." said the
sheriff.
The man with the hammer then began to
batter on the outside of the door to the cells.
Rising above the blows of the sledRe ham,
mer rang cries of Remember our homes;"
think of our wives and our mothers"
They worked until daylight, although the
governor and the adjutant general were soon
with the sheriff on the steps leading to the
jail, and trying to stop the mob.
At p. m. the mob again assembled on the
square. They marched to the Jail and, appar-
emily without interference on the part of the
officers, secured the iend, Eph Grizzard.
They put rope around his neck, and taking
him to the east end of the bridge across the
Cumberland river, in the heart of the city,
they hung him, after which they ri6dled his
body with bullets.
Grizzard, with other negroes. some of them
IN jail with him, had committed brutal out
rage ON two young women near Goodlettsville.

The emperor's visit to Baron Strumm has
given great umbrage to the workingmen. He
harrangued Baron Strumm's workmen and
bestowed the highest eulogies upon the facto-
ries and regulations for workmen. He de-
clared they were such as all Germans ought
to initiate. The speech was coldly received,
as Baron Strumm's arbitrary treatment of
his employees and his pitiless discharge of any
man suspected of socialism is notorious. and
had gained for him the sobriquet of ''King
Strumm." The grand banquet that he gave
the emperor is the talk of the newspapers.
It cost over 20, 600 marks.

PHILADELPHIA, April 29.-Tne most sensa-

before it was gotten under control nearly
d.000,0o worth of property was destroyed,
including the massive eight-story annex

Better Business Results From
Better Weather and Roads.
Ths Volume Of Business Surpasses
All Previous Records; Except on

New foRk, May 2-R. G. Dunn d Col
Weekly Review OF Trade says:
More favorable weather in many parts Of
the country during the past week brought
better reports of business. Undoubtedly dis,
tribution has been much retarded by the
backward season and the condition of coun-
try roads, and in some quarters collections
have been slow ON that account This week
improvement in such quarters has been gen.
eral, and in the meanwhile the volume OF
business continues to surpass all previous
records, gaining but little, yet gaining at
least over last year, and falling behind only
abount 1 per cent at the south in the aggre-
gate, notwithstanding the great depression in
in the price of cotton. The volume of trade
has been over 10 per cent. greater than in any
other year at the west, though on the Pacific
slope some decrease appears.
That collections are on the whole satisfac-
tory, the condition of the money markets and
the reports from other cities clearly show.
In all parts of the country the supply of
money is abundant, but the supply is not
specially active.

shipments gain rapidly on last years, being
for the year thus far II per cent behind.
better feeling Is seen In iron. The west
ern demand for structural iron, barbed wire
and pipe is very heavy, and large structural
orders are expected here. For the first time
in the history of the country the exports of
iron products have exceeded the imports in

fall behind last years, and sales of 928, 900
