Wild Scenes Of Disorder in Town in
Oklahoma Territory.

GUTHRIE o. r., Feb 9.-Ihe past forty
eight hours have witnessed scenes Of wild
excitement at FL Reno which outriyal any
thing ever seen in the Territory. The town
is built upon the claim Of Major Freeman,
all the residents Of the place having bought
lots Of him, so when Secretary Noble
decided last Saturday that Free
mans title to the claim was void
it left every piece of property in town at
the mercy OF vandals. News Of the de-
cs0n reached FL Reno Yesterday when the
town went wild. At first loafers began jump
ing lots, then others followed, and sCOn all
business was suspended. Some Of the
court officers joined the mob, which
by nightfali became unruy. Governor
Seay telegraphrd the Sheriff and
other officers TO disperse the crowd, but they
aid nothing. To-day affairs took a more
serious turn. Houses were broken into,
people were driven from their homes and
every thing possible was done by the eX-
cited mob to drive the orderly ele-
ment out and give the jumpers posses
sion Of all the property in the town.
Many citizens telegraphed 10 Governor SeaY.
United States Marshal Grimes has ordered
all Of his deputies to the scene to protect
the people, and Secretary Noble has
affairs and he will doubtless have
troops ordered from Fort Reno 10
proceed to the scene OF disorder Feelings
at FL Reno is running very high tonight,

Tie Announcement Sail to F8 Authentic
Els Resignation to Be Soon Sent
to The President
ETeoial 70 Tbs MORNING CAlL..

CHICAGO, Feb 9.-The Daily News Will
tomorrow morning print a Washington
special saying: The announcement by
Mr. Blaine that he viii not be a candidate
fer the presidency is about to be followed
by another announcement of even more i'm
portance. Mr. Blaine will resign his posi-
tlon in the Cabinet Of President Harrison,
and retire from public life to the quiet he
50 much desires. and which his health i'm
peratively demands.
For this statement the Daily News CORE
spondent asserts that he has authority sec
end only to tia, Of Secretary Blaine him
self His determination to resign, says tn e
correspondent. is final and absolute, and
only remains to be determined at what date
his retirement viii take place.
The reason he viii give the President for
his reurementvil. be that of physical ina
bIlity to continue the Iaborious and uuyieId
ing strain which The State Department puts
upon him. This is in fact the true reaso n
for Mt Baine's determination to withdraw
entirely from official life.
For months his family and physicians
have been trying To persuade him to get out
of Washington during the winter and spring
months, and they have at last prevailed
upon him to see the desirabiIity Of the adop-
tion of this course.
THE STATEMENT C0RE0BoRATED.
New TohK, Feb. "a Washington spe-
cjal to tie Press, after announcing BlaIne's
intended withdrawal from the Cabinet,
says: Blaine. if he follows his personal Iu-
clination. would tender the President his
resignation at once, but he realizes that such
an act, following Immediately upon his let
ter to Chairman Clarkson. would be widely
misinterpreteI and would be considered y
the opponents Of the Republican party
either as an act Of p'qae OF indicating se1i-
Gus differences between him and the Presi-
dent The fact is that the true reason for
BIane's determination to withdraw entirely
from official lie is lis i'll health. O:her no
tives may and doubtless viii be assigned
by his critics for his action, but it viii really
be based upon bis precarious health.

The SILVER QUESTION.
A Representative Of the National Grange
FaVOriD6 Free Coinage.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9-At the hearing
before the House Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures to-day, Leonard r.
Hone, representing the Legislative Commit
tee of the National Grange, said the AmeIi-
can farmer was asking silver to be restored
to the position it occupied prior to 1873.
The increased volume Of money, he said,
meant the enhancement of prices. He
wanted Congress to protect the legal-tender
qualification of money Issued by the Gov
ernment, so lie could not be compelled to
make his payments in one form of money
only. Hone said the free coinage of silver
would 90 a great way toward bringing it to
a parity with gold. Even if all that was
said against free coinage were true, the
farmer would not lose anything, because
there was no time the farmer was 80 well
off as in 1865. when there was deprecated
currency. He favored the free coinage Of
both gold and silver.

trous to the Republicans. He thought the

Presidential electors by the Republicans.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

Salisbury Replies 10 Questions OF Gov
eTnmental Policy.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-ln the House of Lords
this afternoon Earl Kimberly expressed
surprise that the Queens speech made no
reference to the dispute with France over
the Newfoundland affair.
Lord Salisbury said that the present un-
settled state of the question was not due to
the action of the Government but to the
people of Newfoundland themselves The
absence of any special reference in the
Queens speech to the order and prosperity
prevailing IN ireland showed the confidence
of the Government in that cOuntTy's fitness
for local self-gOyernment. The fact that an
Irish local government bill was proposed
implied that conditions now prevailed in
Ireland which justified the Government in
giving that country extended powers OF
local control.
With regard to Egypt Lord Salisbury said
that after the sacrifices Great Britain had
made in connection with that country he
believed she would never surrender her
supremacy there to another power
An address in reply 10 the speech from
the throne was moved by the Earl of Dad
Law
