game opened with the Carlin boys At
the bat. The Elko boys became rat
tied in the first inning and allowed
their opponents to roll up five tallies,
and, although they played . good
game afterwards, were not able TO
+ overcome the superior playing of the
Carlin boys. At tho close Of tho

toek their places at the rope and an
Referee Hesson gave the word began
to pull and tug.
The Elko boys, with Q tremendous
heave, pulled their opponents several
feet, then lying quietly for few mo-
ments, gave another surge and the
marker passed the ten-foot flag and
the victory was won. The Carlin boys
died game, contesting every inch of
the ground, but the Elko boys being
the heavier and stronger men won in
about two and thres-quarter minutes.
Considerable money changed hands
on the result, and, at the conclusion
Of the pull, the victors were rewarded

were held Grand Marshal Fitch
called the assembled multitude to
order and introduced Hon. George
Russell, President Of the Day, who
extended 4 hearty welcome TO the
visiting friends and spoke OF the in
estimable value Of American Citizen
ship aud the priceless privileges en-
joyed by the people of the United
States. He also spoke OF the wonder
full progress We have made as Ma.
ton in the one hundred and fifteen
years that have elapsed since the
Declaration OF Independence, and
called the attention o. The audience
to the celebration Of the 4Ooh Rnui-
versary OF the discovery Of America
by Columbus, to be hold at Chicago
on the 18th Of October, which would
be followed in 1893 by the greatest
exhibit OF the industries, arts aud

The exercises were listened to at
tentively by the audience and were
fully appreciated. Capt. Palmer, OF
Carlin, read the Declaration OF Inde-
peDdonc0 in a manner that caused
the bones of England's stupid king to
rattle in their coffin. The Grafton by
Webster Patterson was a Ruccess and
at its conclusion the young man re-
ceived many congratulations. We
will publish it in full TO- morrow. The
poem by Mr.. Snider was patriotic aud
received the attention Of all who
heard him. The choir, composed of
Mrs. 7. N. Stone, Mrs. Geo Meigs,
Mrs. Lou Henderson, Miss Essie
Rosenstock, Mr.. Houghton and Mr.,
Stone, with Mrs. Stone at the piano,
sang the "Star Spangled Banner"

In q manner that won the undivided

The band played patriotic pieces
and the fires of patriotism that lay
dormant we're kindled into new life
and burst forth in cheers as the
hearts of the people were touched.
After the literary exercises were
over the Committee on Refreshments
took charge Of the children and gave
them free lunch OF ice cream, cake
sandwiches and lemonade. About
two hundred children were fed by
the committee and IL any went
hungry or thirsty it was not the
fault Of those who had that part OF
the celebration in charge.

SIl YER IN THE SENATE,

WASHINGTON. April 19.-The vote in the
senate today on Mr.. Kyle's amendment to
the Arizona funding bill was not antici-
pated by many of the senators. The re-
suit has been freely discussed on the floor
since its announcement. Many of the gold
men insist that the vote was not square
test of the sentiment of the senators on
the silver question, but the silver men
claim decided victory. Probably the
truth is to be found in the claim that the
posed to any reactionary legislation
favoring gold at the expense
of silver, The senator's who opposed Mr..
Kyle's amendment hold that they were
voting to allow the territory to manage its
own affairs. The silver senators assert
that they lost several votes because of that
belief, and that they are really stronger
than appeared from the VOTE as shown by
the fact that Messrs. Palmer and Pad
dock disclaimed any understanding that
the silver question was involved.
But the feature of the vote was a dis
closure of the attitude of Senator Hill, aud
the silver men are pleased to see him
recorded on their side, especially as he
had refrained from responding on the pre-
vious vote, when there was no quorum.

"ON TO THE STRIP,U

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
Ell RENO. o. T., April 19.-"On to the
Strip" will be the cry that will undoubt-
edly be raised among the disappointed
boomers, and nothing short of a miracle
can stop the invasion of that country.
That from 80 to 40 per cent OF the home
seekers will be disappointed in the matter
of getting claims is not doubted by any
body who has anything an adequate idea
of the number of homeseekers. These
men are determined to have claim; they
came from all parts of the United States
to get one, and they say they are going to
have one ut whatever cost.
On Sunday night meeting was held at
Kingfsher. which was largely attended by
members OF the more radical wing OF the
boomer element, and it was unanimously
agreed among them that each man disap-
pointed in getting claim should immed-
lately turn the heads of his horses north
on ascertainiug that he Lad no hope, and
invade the Cherokee strip. Some of the
old followers OF Dave Payne are at the
head of the movement. They are old
boomers, and know that if the cry ''On to
the stripl'' be raised among lot of excited
aud disappointed men that nothing can
stop an invasion.

settler jump an allotment, and he would
not live to drive the first stake.
Indifference is not the only cause OF the
Indians' want of surprise at the invasion
of their lands They have the promise OF
the messiah that the white man shall be
swept from the earth, and that the In
dian shall be returned to his former do
minion. They have been engaging In
ghost dances for month past. and many
of their wise old men have had visions and
have converted their tribes to the Mes
siah's promise. They were at first sur
prised that the messiah should allow the
preparations for invasion TO proceed, but
when Chief Left Hand received revela-
tion to the effect that the destruction of
the whites was delayed only for short
time, their surprise gave way to an abid-
ing faith in the ultimate extinction OF
their natural enemy.
He will come" they say; she will come
when the grass grows tall and the sun
grows hot. He will come and drive the
white man from the Indian country"
In the meantime the savages will make
no effort at ciyilizing themselves. They
will eat the governments rations and
will await passiyely and hopefully the
messiah's COR 'ug and their restoration to
their lost possessions. They will not work.
They are not permitted TO sell their land
for twenty-five years, but they can lease 1T
for three years, and that is what most of
them will do There is another class of
Indians, however, who have absorbed
something of the nature of the white man.
This was great day for him. Every
thing he possessed was salable. His pony,
his gun, and his knowledge of the coun-
try, were all articles of value, and today
he bartered them all. He was bureau
of information "a guide, and horse trader.
1t is notable that those who employed lu-
dian guides secured choice claims, SO well
did the Indians know their location and
the shortest and least difficult routes to

THE WYOMING CATTLEMEN.

DOUGLAS Wy, April 19.-It is quite evil
dent that all press kilograms from Buffalo
are in a measure controlled by local feel
ing The bulk of the matter sent out is
probably true, but only a portion of the
facts are told. Three members of the cat
tlemen's party were killed at the ranch
where the regulators were besieged, Snd
another was shot down while the surren-
der was being arranged under a flag of
truce. The three men killed were Texans
who were passing from the lmprorised
fort to cellar few yards distant,
where the party kept supplies. A man
named Linvell passed through Douglas
yesterday, enroute to Cheyenne. He says
that he WAS at the ranch few days after
the surrender of the invaders, and saw the
bodies of three men lying on the ground.
He did not dare to examine them, but was
close enough to make sure they were dead
men, who had been probably overlooked
by the military when the party surrender
cd, and had been allowed to lie there ever
since.
The fourth man was Texan named
Lowther, who, according to the Buffalo
dispatches was accidently shot while the
surrender was taking place, and who has
since died.
Another member of the invading party,
a teamster named Green, who was wound
ed when the wagons were captured, had
his leg amputated, and will probably die.
If the invading party now prisoners at
Fort Mckinney is brought TO Douglas
under escort of the military, the party
will be at least five days enroute. The
latest reports from the north are TO the
effect that Sheriff Angus now has about
500 armed men in the vicinity of Buffalo,
who are represented as determined TO pre-
vent the removal of the prisoners from
that county if possible. There are no less
than four places on the road which are
suited for an ambush.
CASPER, Wy, April 19.-The two men
reported shot on Salt creek were brought
in by the sheriff Saturday night, and are
housed at one of the hotels. Their tale of
the killing of Champion is horrible. Their
present condition is critical.

the greatest expedition. The treaty WAS
received yesterday afternoon and referred
TO the committee on foreign relations,
which acted on il this morning and re-
ported it favorably this afternoon. The
treaty was discussed less than two hours
and then ratified with unaninlity.
AS heretofore explained, the modus took
the form of convention or treaty because
1t differed from last years agreement in
the clauses relating to damages. The pre-
ambie is Identical with that of the Bering
sea arbitration treaty. The convention
itself comprises seven articles, the first
four OF which are precisely similar IN
language with the modus yiyendi of last
year. with the exception of the change in
article of the words until May next" to
during the pendeucy OF the arbitration" !"
which governs the life of the moduS
viyendi. Briefly stated, these articles pro-
hlbit British and American sealers from
seal killing in Beriug sea and on the
Islands, save 1000 seals TO be taken on the
islands for the subsistence of the natives
during the arbitration; provide for the
seizure of offending vessels, and permit
the residence of British agents on the
Islands during the season. Articles > and
9 are new, and read as follows:
Art. 5. If the result of the arbitra-
ton be to affirm the right OF British
sealers to take seals in Berins sea within
VIC cOuHNo SldIulcu Ut uS 4iet0 .SSe'e~o
under its purchase from Russia, then COM
pensation shall be made oy the United
States to Great Britain, for the use OF her
subjects. for abstaining from the exercise
OF that right during the pendeDcy of the
arbitration, upon the basis of such regu-
lated and limited catch or catches as IN the
opinion of the arbitrators might have been
taken without undue diminutlon OF the
seal herds: and, on the other hand. il the
result of the arbitration be to deny the
right of British sealers to take
seals within the said waters,
then compensation shall be made
by Great Britain to the United States Qor
itself, its citizens and lessees), for this
agreement, to limit the island catch to
$500 seals. upon the basis OF the differ
ence between their number aud such
larger catch as in the opinion OF the arbl-
traitors might have been taken without an
undue diminution of the seal herd. The
amount awarded, if any, IN either Case,
shall be such as under all the circum-
stances is just and equitable, and shall be
promptly paid.
Art G. This convention may be de-
nounced by either of the high contracting
parties at any time after the 3lst day Of
October. 1898. on giving TO the other party
two mouths notice of its termination, and
at the expiration of this notice this con-
vention shall cease to be in force"
The seventh aud last article simply pro-
vides Tor the exchange of ratificationS as
early as possible. The treaty was signed
by Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian
Pauncefote, and dated yesterday, so that
today the senate probably has broken the
record of speedy action upon treaties.
