Confederate service. His penchant was for
the artillery. And right here am reminded
of a story the governor tells Of tho closest
call he ever had for his life.

Pretty soon afterward II force met a

How EnlSe and Yet How Fair.

A Portland nabob who purchased a pair
of horses II little while ago understands
that appearances can be deceptive. He es-
pecially admired Pegasus and B~ucephalus
on account of their long and flowing tails.
But after the animals had been in his sta
Bile n few days, on a sudden the hostler
rushed into his presence with a tail in each
hand and n tale of woe in his mouth. The
horses had been beautifully doctorcd by the
jockeys who had sold them, and the doc
tored tails had been so admirably patched
out that only the currycomb had revealed
the secret. --Lewiston Journal.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.

WASHINGTON, April T. No material
progress has been made at the interior de-
partment toward the opening of the Cher
okee strip. Considerable office work is
being done, but outside of filing the
county lines and locating county seats
there is no perceptible progress. Land
Commissioner Lamoreaux is still as much
at sea as ever about the best way of OPEN
ing the strip to settlement SO as to avoid
lawsuits and trouble growing out OF dis
putes over the possession of the lands. 1t
was Representative Springer of Illinois
who suggested the scheme OF dividing the
lands by lot. The land commissioner
favored the idea, but in order to test 1t be-
fore committing himself to it. asked for
the written opinions OF the leading chiefs
and other experts connected with the land
office on the subject. Their opinions were
sent to him, but he has not had time to ex-
anime them carefully but says the plan is
meeting with SO many objections, based
upon legal considerations, that unless he
finds from an examination OF all the law
points involved that he can meet these
objections the plan Will have to he aban'
doned One of the chief objections rests
upon the rights OF eX-unlon soldiers TO hle
upon public lands through their attor-
neys, and the privilege given them by law
TO take six months before going upon the
land thus selected.
The land commissioner says he is daily
receiving letters from senators and repre-
sentatives offering suggestions, and not
few letters of advice from persons in the
vicinity or the outlet. They will all be
carefully considered, and if their sugges-
tions are found practicable will receive
due attention, with view to adoption.
He thinks nothing definite will be known
under ten days.

ALBANY, \. Y, April 12-The Argus

ROACH AND MARTIN.

WASHINGTON. April I2-The lengthy
and somewhat acrimonious executive ses-
sion Of the senate yesterday convinced the
Democrats that prudence suggested Il
party caucus for the discussion of affairs
that could not well be considered even
behind the closed doors of n secret session.
As soon as the senate ad dj0urned the Demo
Gratis were quietly notified that there
would be Il caucus this morning at l0:30
o'clock. Promptly at that time the situa-
tion confronting the Democrats was made
the subject of Il general discussion The
Roach case, of course, was the prominent
point at issue, and while there was some
manifestation of opposition towards
ignoring the charges brought by the Re-
publicans, the ajority deemed it best 10
deal with the matter with strong hand
1T was therefore decided that there should
be 10 investigation at this session. The
resolution of the Republicans will, under
this decision, remain Enacted upon when
the senate adjourns and the investigation,
if there should eventually be any, will tt
conducted when the senate meets in regu-
lar session. The Republicans will ratur-
ally aDtagonize this proposition, but 1t
does not now appear how they can do so
with any hope OF success, for the reason
that an ad journment can be effected any
that he has no further communications to
send it.
The caucus did not go quite so far in Its
treatment of the Martin case. masmuch
as Mr.. Ady comes TO the senate with "a re-
spectful memorial, claiming that he was
duly elected to the seat now occupied by
Mr.. Martin. it was decided that the com
mittee should investigate the claim he
makes. The resolution now before the
ttoa rn a. fY
cision, and in this shape was ordered re-
ported TO the senate. The action of the
caucus removes the probability of a fiual
adjournment this week, although such d
Thing is not impossible. twas announced
10 the caucus that Mr. Cleveland would
complete the business he has for the sem
nte by the end OF this week, and the belief
was expIvssed that an adjournment would
be had by the first of next week at the
very latest
