STRIP OPENING REGULATIONS.

WASHINGTON, March 31-Although the
regulations which will govern in opening
the Cherokee strip have not been perfected
yet, it can be stated now that they will be
prepared SO as to prevent the possibility of
any advantage being obtained by those
who rush upon the strip before it is legally
opened by executive proclamation. A
system is being perfected by Secretary
Smith which will entirely do away with
the priority resulting from physical

| of these messages to the federal authori-
ties at Paris, Tex, to the commanders OF
| the militia, and sent copy to Locke. he
| went to Goodland at once and Captain
| Durant who had been sent for, came in
| with his men, who said he would wait until
| he could hear from Governor Jones.
| Locke says positively that he will not dis

| the opinion of many here that one party
or the other will attack before Mr.. Ben
nett reaches here, which will be tomorrow
morning. Those who have lived here for
| years and know the spirit that dominates
| both factions do not believe that the
/ trouble will be settled until fought to a
| finish. If pitched battle is prevented a
| long guerrilla warfare will ensue.
PARIS, Tex, March 3l.-Crowds OF peo-
| pie of both sides of the Choctaw trouble
| were watching for the arrival of Governor
Jones, who was expected from his hon e
at Caddo on the Missouri. Kansas and
Texas, on bis way to Antlers today. But
cifc had arrived without him, a rumor
was rife that he had gone via the South
McAlester aud Choctaw railway. When
the Santa Fe went north this evening he
and Indian Agent Bennett were found to
be securely locked in the drawing room of
the sleeper. They had come as far as
Celeste, where the Missouri, Kansas and
through without discovery.
A report from GoOdland, of reliable
character, says that Indian Agent Bennett
met the captain of the militia and COM
manded him in the name of the United
States to disband He will proceed to
Antiers and issue the same orders to the
Locke crowd, bringing troops from Fort
Gibson if necessary. After both factions
have dispersed he will place warrants for
two men that Locke is supposed to be har-
boring at his house in the hands of the
proper officers and see that they are ar
rested
Much uneasiness has been felt here all
day, as news of hostilities was momentari-
ly expected.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Late last night
Secretary Hoke Smith received a telegram
from Commissioner Gibbons, at Antlers,
/. T., in which the commissioner states
that unless steps are Immediately taken to
prevent a collision between the rival
factions Of the Cboctaw Indians, blood
shed is inevitable. Secretary Smith at
once communicated with the secretary of
war, with the result that he officer in
command of the United States troops
nearest the scene of the threatened
trouble, has been instructed to promptly
inform himself Of the exact situation, and
take such action as it seems to warrant
Agent Bennett at Muscogee has also been
directed to proceed at once to the scene
and report upon the situation.

GEORGIA has 10000 acres in
watermelOns and she will reap a
rich harvest of profits from that
investment. There is no reason
why Texas should not have as
many acres in this lucious fruit as
a little state like Georgia. If she
laid herself out she could put as
many acres in watermelons as
there are acres in Georgia, without
encroaching on her corn, wheat or
cotton lands or making any appre-
cable hole in her uncultivated
acres. All this is coming. The
signs of the times are propitious.

THAT whole Gulf country, where
the tomato and the vine flourish
and the vegetable kingdom is
kingdom come, can prepare them
selves for an exhibit of their gar
den products at the San Antonio
FAIR next fall. Put no faith in
what the croakers say, but take
time by the fOrelOck and plant for
that FAIR. San Antonio will do
her level best to put every county
on her merits, giving each a fair
field and no favor. There is a
wealth of possibility in this south
west land that has never been
even dreamed of outside of a few
who see the end of things from the
beginning. Now is the time, and
San Antonio FAIR will be the place
to demonstrate what promise there
is in this coast region as the mar
ket garden of the future for all of
the country that lies between the
Rockies and the Mississippi.

THE FAIR GROUNDS.

THE FAIR GROUNDS.
The decision of the Fair commit
mittee to abandon the Fair for
this year is to be regretted. The
question of grounds is not so in
superable an objection as it is
made to appear. There seems to
be some misunderstanding as to
the real position taken by the pres
ent owners of the grounds and this
misunderstanding, if such there
be, should not be permitted to
interpOse. The owners of the
grounds think that they have
been placed in an unfavOrable
light before the public without
cause. They consider their offer a
reasonable one, $1,000 rent and
repairs. The insurance for one year
on the amount carried to cover
the Indebtedness is $3.50 to say
nothing of taxes, and the
first statement made to the Opera
house mass meeting, and the only
one, and upon which that meeting
acted was that the grounds could
be had for about the insurance and
taxes, something like $1,000" The
real difference Of opinion between
the Fair committee and the own
ers of the grounds was over the
repairs, and these the owners
were unwilling to have made
by the Fair committee as they
might be expended where they
would really do the property no
good. There is scarcely doubt
that the present fair ground pro-
perty can be bought more cheaply
than new grounds can be pur-
chased, laid out, improved, built
upon, race track constructed etc.
There grounds are contiguous to
the city, are already reached by
one steam car line and one
electric line, and in the
event of fair this fall there would
be another electric line down
Flores street connecting with the
gates. The LIGHT has it from
good authority that these grounds
can be purchased for much less
than their actual cost. The pres
ent owners of the grounds would
take stock in any new company
that might be raised to purchase
them, and it ought not to be
more difficult to raise money
for this purchase than for some
other grounds less available and
wholly uncOnnected at present
with rapid transit lines. The
Light merely suggests this as
a natural solution of the question.
So long as the old grounds remain
there will be a bone of contention,
or at least a disturbing element in
the way of grounds being pur-
chased and prepared somewhere
else. Why not let this Fair commit
tee take up this question, of the
organization of a joint stock COM
pany to purchase the present
grounds, and see on what terms
they can be secured, what amount
of stock the owners will take in
the new organization and what
amount of. stock the citizens out
side of the old ownership will have
to subscribe and upon what terms
payments must be made.
IT is not cons idered necessary to
