TN Fifth State.
GUTHRIE. 0. T., Feb. 7.-Oklahoma, the
wonderful territory, that WAS born in dav

seeks admission as a state. Including In
dian territory, which the bill introduced
contemplates, the new state will be larger
than Ohio and Indiana combined. have a

Abraham j. Seay, the new governor of
Oklahoma, is Il Virginian by birth, but
Missourian by continuous residence. Born

taken to Missouri by his parents wnen
three years old. Growing up on farm, he
received no education until after he was
21, when he worked his way through the
hteelevile academy and afterwards studied
law. Three days before the firing on
Sumpter he was admitted to the bar, but
he dropped his law books an marched
in defense Of the nation. For
four Yeas he served faithfully. and
was promoted from private to colonel.
After the war he resumed the practice of
law, anu in time become one of the leading
attorneys of the state. He filled many local
offices and for twelve years sat on the
bench as district judge. A little over a
year ago he was appointed on the supreme
bench of the territory of Oklahoma, and
has discharged the duties there to the sat
isfaction of everybody. He was the unan-
imous choice of the territory for governor,
and his inauguration is the beginning of
home rule for people who have heretofore
been ruled by carpet-bagpers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7.-Dr. Chuey Sue
Yee, Chinese physician, we'll known

two Chinese highbinders on Saturday even-

wanton and unprovoked, even for China

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE programme in

ono measures. of popular interest, the Pad
dock bill, to prevent the adulteration and
rnisbranding of food and drugs. It will be
called up Immediately after final action on
the printing bill The Idaho senatorial
contest is also on the docket. Senator
Palmer may speak on his measure propos
ing the election of senators by the people.
In the house the Worlds fair investigation
resolution and other committee reports are
likely to come up, but the most interesting
feature Of the week will probably
be found in the proceedings
Of the house coinage committee,
which has made an order that discussions
shall close and voting begin at IL o'clock
Wednesday, on the Bland free coinage sill
vcr bill. Since the oder was made Bland
has introduced a substitute for the bill
named in the committee order and We'd
nesday's session may be exhausted before
the committee reaches a final vote on the
question of reporting "a free coinage bill

it can be positively stated to be the inten-
tion of the committee to make it's report to

IAfgo expresH company instructed itB

INTO the Indian Territory. Judge Bryant's
decision was not brought out BY the same
fhcts az were in the case before Judge
hnowles. In the Montana case man WAS
charged with selling bottle of beer to an
lnuinn. lie was arrested under the provi-
slons of section 2, l39 Of the revised statues,
which says:
mo ardent spirits shall be introduced,
under any pretence into the Indian coull-
try: Every person (except an Indian in the
indlan country who sells, exchanges, gives.

ctarge of any Indian superintendent or

prisonment for not more than two years,
ana by fine of not more than $500"
In the Texas case malt liquors which
Wefe brought on to an Indian reservation
we're contiscated by the agent who got his
authority from section 2, lao of the revised
statutes, as follows:
"lf any superintendent of Indian affairs,
lndian agent, or Sub-agent. or command

or commanding officer may cause the boats,
stores. packages, wagons, sleds, and places
OF deposit of such person to be searched"
After Judge Bryant matie his decision the
saloon business and the importation of beer
and other malt liquors was in fourishinQ
condition. The Interior department lo-
norsd the decision and the business of fill
ing. the redman with malt liquor was
stopped. Twenty eight saloons were closed
soon after they had been opened. Indian
Commissioner Morgan thinks that congress
should amend the statutes by also prohibit
ing malt liquors.
There has also been trouble from this
source in the state Of Washington. num-
Der of mon we're tried for selling liquor to
the Puyallups, but they were discharged on
the ground that the Puyallups were citizens
Of the state of Washington, and that the
law prohibiting the sale of liquors did not
apply to them. It has been suggested that
under the decisions in regard to the Puyal-
lups the Indians who like beer and cannot
procure it, may find strong inducement to
become American citizens, since liberty in
that respect would be one Of the privileges
of their new political status.

the Withdrawal

Comments of the New York Papers on
tho Withdrawal.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-The Herald will say
tomorrow, referring to Blaine letter, that
it eliminates from the political campaign a
very important element; that the republic
cans have lost their strongest man and the
democrats their shrewdest opponent. The
democl ats, says the Herald, have a large
number Of men who certainly can run
against Harrison.
The Tribune says the announcement
will cause sorrow. and disappoint
ment to thousands Of republicans. The
certainty that the foremost citizen Of the
country will not be the next president and
the presumption that he will never secure
TINT great office, says the Tribune, cannot
fail to atfl,ct the multitude of his fellow
citizens with keen sense of personal grief.
The Tribune says further that Blaine had
n perfect right to allow his name to be used
in connection with the presidency while
holding the office of Secretary of state, and
Harrison and he had no misunderstanding
on the subject.

a Suicide.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. THE death of
Padlewski, the nihilst, grows daily in mys-
terry and it is now almost certain tho as
sassin OF Gen. Seliverskoff instead of being
suicide, was the victim of the czar's q
vengeance. 1t was supposed he committed
suicide but it is now known the wound on
Padlewiski was inflicted by a bullet of
larger calibre than his pistol. Besides this
secret papers which he was known to carry
were missing when the body was
found, as were subsequently the Official
papers concerning his death which were
stolen from the district clerks Office
These facts, together with the knowledge
that detectives were on the trail of Pa
dlewski, lead to the conclusion that Pa
dlewski was murdered by detectives for the
reward Offered by the Russian government
for his apprehension, doad OR alive. At,
to.ney Wilson has had tho remains ex-
humed. He is IL brother-in-law of the
Russian consul ut Galveston. It is pre-
Bumed the investigation was made at tho

sion of the mines and resulted in driving
thousands OF workmen to find employment
elsewhere at various times. 10 relieve this

the purpose of increasingits revenue, but to
furnish additional facilities for transfer

said Mr.. Hill, during the past three years.
lost more time than would build the pro
posed roads several times over. He says that
never before when railways were being
built in Butte was any question raised as to
wages paid by the contractors. Hill said
that his company will look to the present
contractors to complete the work they have
undertaken provided they are not forcibly
interfered with. The railway company is
not suffering for the want of these facilities,
and is in position to whit until better
counsols prevail, and the wdrkinRmen of
Butte realize that they cannot help their
situation by interfering with local i'm
provements. the object Of which is to in

Meanwhile, no work has been done on
the road since the workingmen's 8 manifesto

men who came to Butte to work on the
road, have been initiated into the union as
fast as they arrived, and by joining. have
pledged themselves not to work for less
