THE BOOMERS AT WORK.

Filing Claims-Plowing, Planting and
Building HOuses-Rain Wanted.
KINGFIsHER, Okla, April ga great
crowd of boomers left here yesterday.
All the north-bound trains being filed.
The crowd in town is, however, not
diminished to any noticeable extent,
largely owing to the fact that the
homesteaders are coming in to file their
claims. About 1,400 are in line at
the land Office, and it will take at
least two weeks to attend to those now
waiting, and the number increases
every day.
The new settlers are beginning work
with great energy. They are breaking
the GROUND, planting corn and doing all
sorts of farm work. Houses are going
up on all sides. Every day sees many
new stores and places of business
opened. Some of the boomers are sell
ing their claims and there is considera-
BILE speculation in this way. The great
need at present is rain. Everything is
dry and dusty and unless there is rain
speedily the settlement of the new
country will be greatly retarded.

der OF the day was spent in executive session
over the modus vivsndi in the Behring sea and
other matters. In the house the entire day

IL came from the committee with ths exception
OF the dry dock at Algiers, La, which was
stricken out on point Of order.

order OF general leave to print to members
who desired to submit remarks on the tariff and
silver questions. resolution was also adopted
authorizing the civil service committee to in
vestigate the alleged violation Of the civil serv
Ice law by certain officials in Baltimore. The
remainder of the session was devoted to the
consideration of the contested election case of
NoyeS VS.. Rockwell, from the twenty eighth
district of New York.
In the senate ON the Goth, Mr.. Teller created
a sensation by making an anti administration
free coinage speech. Mr.. Sherman announced
that be had been in error in supposing that ex-
isting Chinese restriction laws expired by linn
ttation on May next. 1t was now discovered
that they run until July, 1894. In the house
the entire days session was devoted TO a con-
tinuatiOn OF the Noyes- Rockwell contested
election case. The debate was entirely without
incident, the speeches being confined to q tech
nical view of the case.
In the senate, on the 2lst, general Chinese
debate occupied the entire session, and re-
manned the unfinished business at the hour of
adjournment. In the house the Rockwell
Noyes contested election case occupied the
hours. The debate was exceedingly dry, and
but little attention was paid 70 it, the majority
of the members occupying their time in chat
ting and smoking in the foyer and cloak rooms.
IN the senate, on the I'D, an amendment to
private pension bill increasing the pensions of
all helpless Mexican soldiers from eight to
twelve dollars per month was adopted. After
the morning hour the Chinese exclusion bill oc-
cupied the entire day, and at adjournment was
apparently good for two or more davs further
discussion. In the house, after four hours de-
bate on the Noyes Rockwell contest, the house
decided to retain Mr.. Rockwell in his seat. The
principal speeches of the day were made by Mr..
Fellows IN. W and Mr.. Cochran IN. W, who
rpoke for Mr.. Rockwell and Mr.. O'Ferran,
tdem. Val, who made earnest appeal for
Mr.. Noyes, the contestant.

unconstitutional, and Chancellor Liv-

taken, but Chancellor Livingston's de-
cision was affirmed in the supreme court.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 23.-One re-
suit of the trouble brought about by
the cattle war is the probable dismem-
berment of the Wyoming state militia.
Thursday the officers of companies D
and E, of Rock Springs and Green River,
turned in their designations and others
are expected. Under the Wyoming law,
in the absence of the governor the
sheriff may call on the troops for aid.
On March 80 the governor issued an

The DefalcatiOn of Cashier Jaeger Foots
Up 100000 Marks-NO Trace of tho
Fugitive.
BERLIN, April 23.-The total defalca-
ton of Cashier Jaeger, of the house of
Rothschilds, amount to $500, 600 marks.
Two days before absconding Jaeger re-
ceived for the bank check for 1,753,-
600 marks from the Imperial Bank of
Germany, drawn in favor of the Roths-
childs Jaeger cashed the check and
entered up for the house $4,000 marks
which he deposited. Part of the bal
ance he used to pay his most pressing
debts, and the rest he is believed to
have with him.
The police have been unable to find
any trace of him in Darmstadt or else
where in Germany, and they are con-
vinced that he is on his way to the
United States or Brazil. Since the dis
covery that he had taken probably sew
eral hundred thousand marks with him
they have abandoned the idea that he
may have committed suicide.
The Rothschilds have offered a re-
ward of 1000 marks for the capture of
Jaeger.

A Scheme to Defraud Suspected.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 23.-Last week
the house of VIM. Radlof, a wealthy
rancher near Seattle, was burned, and
in the ruins was found corpse sup
posed to be that of Radloff, as he was
missing. Radloff carried $55, 1000 life
insurance in his wife's favor. 1t was
suspected for time that Mrs Radloff
and one of the farm hands had conspired
to murder Radloff and get the insurance.
To-day, however, suspicion is strong
that Radloff robbed grave, took the
corpse to his house and placed it in the
ruins for the purpose of defrauding the
insurance companies,

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
After the Murphys,

KNOXVILLE, April 22.-For the past
two months there has been deadly feud
among some families in Monroe County.
The Murphy boys, desperadoes, and
fHgitives from justice, are the cause.
The start of the trouble was when one
of the Murphys ran off with a mountain
girl by the name of Johnson. Her folks
pursued and captured the girl after she
had been at Murphy's several days. A
fight occurred then, and old man john
son and one son was killed. Others in
the neigh borhood took up the row, until
the entire south or mountain side OF
Monroe County was involved. There
have been several fights, with several
deaths. The Murphys are charged with
all the killing. On April 1 the Sheriff
of Monroe took squad of deputies into
the mountains to attempt the capture of
the Murphys. He came up with them
about dark en- the I'd of April, and a
fight took place. In the battle Deputy
Sheriff Charles E. Ray was shot in the
head by one of the Murphys.
A telegram received tonight from
Madisonville states that Ray died yester-
day afternoon. He was one of the most
popular men in the county, and ven-
geance is sworn on the Murphys. A
telegram was received here this after
noon from the Sheriff of the county or
dering case of Winchester rifles. 1t is
reported that a large posse has been or
ganized, and will go into the mountains
after the Murphys. They are desperate
men, thoroughly acquainted with the
mountain passes, and other deaths are
certain. They swear they will never be
taken alive. The scene of the trouble
is remote from railroad and telegraph.

Too Much Water.

CLARKsvILLE, April 2O.-The floods
continue unabated in this section. Much
damage is being experienced by plant
ers living on the water courses. The
rains have continued without cessation
almost for the past three weeks. No
corn has been planted scarcely, and
what little has been seeded is rotting
in the ground. Besides being too wet
to plant, it has also been too cold to
plant. Tobacco plants are growing
very fast, and will be too large to set
out before ground can be prepared or
suitable season had for setting out.
Much complaint is also being made by
the planters of Robertson, Cheatham,
Houston, Stewart, Christian, Todd and
Logan counties.
