The scenes of STRIFE which charac-
tsrized the opening of lands 10 settlers
in Oklahoma territory are in fair way
of being.repestsd. The Arapahoe and
Cheyenne Indian reservations in this
territory. now thrown open to settlers,
has attracted train load after train
load Of parties wishing the government
allotment of these lands Many Of the
applicants are old soldiers with scrip,
who are insisting on being first served.
Others, not 80 favored, are on the
ground and insisting on the rule first
come first served This disagreement
has led to friction, and tho probable
outcome may be blows, If nothing more
serious. Viewed from whichever
stand ono may take, it 10 singularly un.
fortunate that the difficulty and strife
which marked tho opening of this ter
ritory in the first instance did not poin,
an amicsble way in which to adjust
like difficulties in the future.

Senator Morgan Not Likely to Smoke
Gu, Tammsny's Men.
WAsHISeros. April 4.--Senator Nor
gan set the free SILVER bali rolling in the
senate today. Despite the wide notice
that had been given but little interest
WAS manifested when he rose TO speak.
There WAS large number OF senators
present and they listened tor while
with fiattering attention, but the GAL
iaries were practically deserted. There
WAS the usual number Of sightseers. but
that is true when nothing but = funeral

ingtonians go who are most generally
on hand when anything big 10 on tue
tapis-they were not observable.
There were two reasons for this: First,

congress is concerned. IS generally be-
- ed TO be as dead as door,
nail. But that did not make any
difference 10 Morgan. He Is free ST.
verite and is ANXIOUS TO have every
body GO on record. So far as Hill IS
concerned he is likely TO be disap-
pointed, for Hill is In Albany attend
lug the funeral of friend. and hrs
own political death so far as the presl-
dency 10 concerned Is 30 near that he
may remain 10 bury his hopes. Al any
rate, he is not expected back for sew
eral days, and when he comes, If the
debate is still pending, he Is not ex-
pected TO speak. He will doubtless
vote. If he is in time. to refer Morgan's
resolution 10 a committee, but that will
mean nothing.
AT the conclusiod of the debate the
Stewart bill will come up. and then, II
there remain any desire stronger than
idle curiosity, the public may learn
whether or no "Dave the Dodger" Is
for or forninst IT.
Senator Morgan had considerable
difficulty IN getting his speech
launched, because OF Senator Sherman
ata onism. The latter, with the cvi-
, zen. purpose OF antagonizlng the silver
question by another alliance matter,
asked unanimous consent 10 take up
out OF its order senate bill 731, TO pro-
vide for fixing a uniform standard OF
classification and grading OF wheat,
corn, oats, barley and rye, which, he
said, was bill Of some urgency greatly
demanded by the farmers.
The vice president, however, inter
| rupted the Ohio senator and gave the
floor to Senator Morgan. Senator Nor
gan then began his speech. He said he
knew this was q question which struck
some senators in an alarming way. he
cause the people Of the United State,
were very urgent TO have some relief
from tho embarrassments which nov
pressed upon them. He knew alst
that the behests Of party would stane

opinions upon this subject of free coin

twenty years. But If senator's did no
express their opinion now the people
of the United States would expires
