Manifest DestInu

GUTHRIE, o. T., April Ex-Governor Seay
returned from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
reservations, having spent week in the sad
die, and in this time witnessed a 1000 COO
acre tract of land change from a primeval
wilderness to farming community thickly
dotted with homes, and thanked BY a half
score OF busy growing towns. Nowhere else
on earth has such a transformation taken
place Thirty thousand permanent residents
are now building homes where a week AGO
was nothing but the Indian and the prairie
dog. The governor Is perfectly satisfied with
opening, and is proud of the people of Okla
homa and the entire west, because of the
great respect for law and order shown by an
throughout the exciting scenes of the open-
ing. Up to the time of his leaving the reser-
Walton he had been unable to learn of any
trouble OF any kind, and further reports re
ceived make It absolutely certain that not a
hostile shot was fired, not a single man
wounded or injured during or since the open-
ing. Colonel Wade, commanding at Fort
Reno, telegraphs that all reports Of conflicts
between soldiers and sooners and between
different parties of settlers have been thor
oughly investigated and are absolutely with
out foundation Reports from every county
seat state that business is starring out niceIv.
that all is quiet and there has been no trouble
Of any kind AL this shows that contrary to
The general belief IN the east the people of
Oklahoma and the whole west are law-abld-
ing. Great credit IS also due Governor Seay
Tor the smooth manner in which everything,
passed on, as he had charge of affairs. and
exhibited remarkable executive ability in
handling SO great crowd under such exclt-
ing circumstances.

GOLD GOING.
Exports Fall Below Imports
and the Balance Draws Gold.
The Falling Off of Exports Comes
From Slow Foreign Demand for
Our cottons Meantime We Are
Buying Much Merchandise.

NEW YoHK, April 27.-In regard to the gold
exports of the last few days, the Post says;
The renewal of gold exports is attributed to
the real commercial condition, as the gov
ernment's latest trade report shows Stats
tics show that in the month of March, for
the first time since last July, our eoantry's
merchandise imports have exceeded its ex-
ports. This change in proportion was occa-
stoned by bo.h decrease in exports and an
increase in imports The falling on OF 81
500, 600 in exports is explained wholly BY the
slow foreign demand for cotton Our staples
increased rather than diminished in their
outward movement during March. Mean
time, however, our imports of foreign mer-
chandise have risen IN the same month ST.
500, 600 above the February total, reaching
the largest figure on record. 1t IS this re-
markable increase, rather than the normal
relation in our foreign trade, which afforded
every opportunity 70 draw our gold

the MIssIssIppI Floods.

V1cKsBURs, Mss, April SO.-The fact that
the Mississippi river to the gulf is gradually
approaching extreme flood height is causing
great uneasiness, in spite of positive knowl-
edge that the levees are stronger than at any
previous tune in their history. and that any
thing like a general overflow Is practically an
impOssibility. Ievee builders hold that no
levee Is absolutely safe while the water IS
against it, a theory established by the col
lapse of those which were supposed to be the
strongest. At present the most serious dan
ger Is from hidden currents, which may at
any time undermine a levee and let the river
in on the land Sterling, Ark, is thus threat
ened, and so is Hardscrabble levee, in Tensas
Parish, La A crevasse at either place would
be a serious disaster. With fair, calm wealth
er, such as is to be expected at this season,
the levees between Memphis and this city
may be reasonably expected to Withstand
flood as great as that of 1880, always exclud-
ing accidents, especially should the flood pass
in less than thirty days. Below this city the
outlook Is more threatening, and the belief
Is general that the pressure viii reach its
maximum between Baton Rouge and New
Orleans, where the river Is a foot or less be-
low the highest water ever known. Any i'm
portant crevasse will occasion great loss of
property, but the risk of human life is prac-
hcallY nothing. At present everything de-
ponds upon the weather.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 28.-'You are a
liar" SAID Representative Enloe, after Com
missioner Raum had denied stating to Mr..
EnlOe something that Enloe insisted the COM
missioner had said to him, during the pro
oeedings in the pension Office investigation
committee, and with the utterance of these
words he sprang towards the commissioner,
who was seated Just across the table. to do
him physical violence.
Commissioner Raum hastily got OF his feet
and prepared for attack. The members fore
IDLY restrained Enloe, and there was a scene
Of disorder, Mr.. Enloe endeavoring to break
away. Commissioner Raum was excited, and
exclaimed that he wanted no personal diff
Guilty, but feared no man. which caused a re-
newal of Mr.. Enloe's attempt to get at him.
The commissioner, in a moment, picked up
his hat and left the room, while his colleagues
finally succeeded in calming the prosecutor
and getting him to take his scat.
After some brief expressions of regret and
explanation, the committee, as the best way
out of the affair, took a hasty adjournment.
No actual blows were struck.

me Cherokee strIp Test Csc.

ms OtlGEOHGS est N<G45G-
KANSAS CITY, No., April 3O.-On a promis-
sorry note for 81 GOO there was tried IN the
circuit court, before Special Judge C. o.
TichenOr, a case which is almost of national
importance, and one that Will without doubt,
be carried to the highest courts whichever
way the trial Judge may decide The case Is
that of the Cherokee Strip association against
Hall Bros, of this city, and the firm OF Pry-
or Bros, ranchmen, for the collection of
note, given IN payment of rental OF 600
acres of land in the Cherokee strip This
case is merely a test, and on its issue viii de-
about $4,000. After hearing all the eyi-
dence in the case, which was but very little,
and receiving copies of countless Indian
treaties and contracts, Special Judge Ilche-
nor took the matter under Amusement.
Apart from its legal aspect, this case Is of
much popular interest, as IN the trial the
question raised was the right of the CherO-
KEGS to the land they now occupy at all; ;
whether it is theirs in fee simple or only by
possession. The plaintiffs held to the fee
simple claim, and the defendants insisted
that the Indians were only occupying their
lands by right of possession. In support Of
both sides opinions Of Assistant Attorney
General Shields and Secretary Noble, and
the prOclamations of Presidents Cleveland
and Harrison, were introduced as evidence,
all of which incline to the opinion that the
Cherokees have no fee simple interest IN the
land. On the other hand the opinion rem
dered by Judge Brewer while on the Kansas
bench, in the case of the state against Hun
ter, was introduced to show that the Indians
We're absolute owners of the land, with the
right TO do with It as they pleased 1t IS with
these various and seemingly conflicting
opinions that the trial Judge has now TO deal.
