GUTHRIE, okla, April 92-Harry PEN
frost, manager Of the Oklahoma opera
house, has just returned from watona,
the new town in county c. He says
about 1000 people are there and every
thing is quiet. The reports of battles
between settlers are false. Not over
three men have been killed in the entire
country and they were shot in isolated
quarters. Miss Cora Black, OF Yukon,
raced with five men fifty miles for
fine claim which the Indians had aban-
doned, leaving orchard, barns and good
houses on it. She beat them and they
gave her three cheers and left her in
possession Of the most valuable claim
in the whole country. A hundred or
more settlers have arrived here, thor
oughly disgusted with the country.
They say the land is worse than west
crn Kansas and nothing can be raised
on most Of it but prairie dogs and cactus.

SCOTCH HOME Bill ERS

LONNoN, March 19.-Twelve of the lead
ing Scotch members have introduced in
parliament "a bill tor the creation of a
Scottish legislative body All the Liberal
members from Scotland announce their
adhesion to the measure, and many Eng
lish members, including some Conserya-
tives, have privately signified their ap-
proval The interest of the world at large
in legislation for Scotland, whether relat-
ing to home rule or anything else, is only
fractional; but the bill now before parlia-
ment Will attract attent On outside of
Scotland, chiefly for its bearings upon the
same question in Ireland.
There is only Que legislative body pro-
posed. The Scotch parliament will be a
democratic body, having no check upon its
legislation. except the reference of bills to
a judicial committee in the prjvy council,
which will determine as to the validity of
any bill on the simple issue as to whether
it is within the constitution or not. The
bill ignores the question of police control,
because the powers conferred on the ex-
ecutive and legislature give them that
control As to judges, appointments
shall rest with the crown, but parliament
evidently, according to the bin, Will have
the power of protest, and practically of re-
moval. The Scotch Liberal members have
been wholehearteC towards their Irish
eonfreres in preparing the bill. II the
Irish party accept its main proposals,
Gladstone's way towards bis coming home
rule measure has been promoted.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The house
today devoted the greater part OF the ses-
sion to the consideration of the resolutions
of respect to the memory of the late Sena-
tor Plumb
Mr.. Funston of Kansas delivered the
first address. Never said he, did people
feel more keenly the loss Of one Of their
own than did the people Of Kansas feel the
loss of Senator Plumb. They loved him
with all the affections of their hearts. he
was to them brother, father and benefac-
tor. They had found in him wise coun-
selor and true friend, with heart over
flowing with generosity. The poorest and
weakest could always catch his attention
and pour into his ear the recital of their
sorrows and misfortunes, with the GER
tainty of relief, were 1t possible for him TO
give it, In thousands of cases it required
the sacrifice of his own personal means.
Mr.. Funston then paid tribute to Sen
ator Plumb's business capabilities and
referred 10 his success as a legislator
Mr.. sBroderick Of Kansas concluded
beautiful eulogy on Senator Plumb as fol-
lows: 'Ail that was mortal of Preston Is.
Plumb has passed away forever; but Il
record of work well done is imperishable.
In sorrow we must submit to the decree
of heaven. The hope is in immortality.
The life that was so active and useful
here has not gone out, but has been trans
ferred To the nome beyond the stars"
Eulogies were also delivered by Messrs.
j. d. Taylor, Otis, Davis, Bartiue, Cate,
Baker, Post, Youmans, Wilson, (Missouri)
and Caruth.
The house then at o'clock, as a further
mark of respect TO the deceased, ad-
jcurned until Monday.

TREASURY RUMORS.

NEW YORK, March l9-The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs his
paper thus: There is unmIstakable evil
dence that d tacit agreement exists be
tween the army and navy departments and
the treasury that all bills shall be held
back. l am told there is nearly one million
due the Cramps for building the new
cruisers, and that they are only able TO get
the money in driblets. My informant,
who is not connected with the government,
says that although the vouchers have been
properly authenticated, they were held
back aud the money cannot be obtained
from the treasury at present. There IS
only about 81, 900, 900 in available currency.
This sum is scattered about in the ten sub
treasures. 1t is difficult for the treasury
to meet the bills presented by the various
departments, and every artifice is being
resorted to to stand off the creditors as
long rs possible"
NEW YORK, March 19-Secretary Foster
was seen this afternoon in reference to the
dispatch from Washington publishnd here,
to the effect that payments of money were
withheld owing to the exhaustion of the
treasury surplns, and that there was dan
ger that the reserve of 500, 900, 900 in gold
would have to be drawn upon to tide over
the present emergency. He denied the re-
ports in toto.

Friday morning the thermometer marked
zero, but it has been growing warmer ever
since. SO lar no damage has been reported.
Unsheltered cattle were in danger, but 10
losses reported Most of our stockmen
feeo in bad weather, but there are few
who depend entirely on the range, The
moisture from the snow only adds to what
we have had. The precipitation since the
first of the year has been little over six
inches and the soil is thoroughly soaked.
Our people feel sure that good crop will
be secured this season.
Farmers were nearly done sowing spring
crops before the storm. They bad such
good results from barley last year that
nearly every one is sowing what ground
he has to spare. In consequence not SO
much oats viii be sown- We have the
best wheat prospect for some years; in
fact, the best since the settlement OF the
county. The acreage is quite large and
the plant is strsug and vigorous.
We are having quite an immigration
this spring. More people are Coming here
for homes than during the past three
years. There Is plenty OF room and homes

Mr., Hackney being a fair reflex OF the
whole. In reply TO question he SAID:
'Of course you understand that | am
not going back to Kansas to bother myself

gubernatorial timber by the prohibition
law, as the question is settled in that
state. Colonel Murdock would have been
governor of Kansas long since, but for his
position on that question. John y. Martin
occupied the same position he does, and
the party had to elect him in order to win,

So would Colonel Murdoch If elected; be

Common sense aud GOOD politics are
united in his behalf for the nomination.
In the present weakened condition of the
party, II it forces the prohibition question
into the platform, it will probably be de-
feated; and it ought TO be. as there is no
sense in forcing that question down the
throats Of Republicans who are opposed to
it. The prohibitionists have the law aud
the constitution, and any man who IS
elected governor of that state on the Re
publican platform, no matter what his
convictions relative thereto may be, will
not go into that office with lie on his
lips aud perjury in his heart, and least
likely Of all would Colonel Murdock do
such a thing His services to the party
