okLAHoMA's STATEHOOD.
Gen. Thomas, e. S. A, Thinks II
Should Wait for More Territory.


Gen. Henry G. Thomas, U. S. A. re-
tired, has been guest at the Ebbitt for
several days. The general is now located in
Oklahoma Territory, engaged IN banking
and other enterprises. He is really a
"rara avis" IN military circles, so far as
the retired list is concerned, for although
almost the entire period of active service
since the close of the war has been spent
on the plains, no sooner was he free to
select an abiding place as a retired officer,
than he located in the wild and woolly"
to grow up with the country.
Gen. Thomas says that one OF the dangers
overshadowing the new territory is the per
sistent agitation of many citizens, with
political aspirations, of the scheme to
secure Statehood at the earliest possible
date.
The more cons ervative people are, he
says, in favor of " aiting until the remain
ing portion of the Indian Territory can be
abs orbed by Oklahoma, and then ask for
admis sion as a State.
With this element Gen. Thomas has taken
q decided stand. and during his stay of
several months in the East has publicly ad-
vocated this policy.
Some of the New England papers have
declared that Gen. Thomas is laying the
wires to be the leader of this movement.
in order 10 ecure the nomination for United
States Senator, when the State is adj
mitted. 1t would be a uniCUe tituation in
American politics for q retired officer of
the Regular Army to come to Congress.

GEN. EWING STRICKEN.
Tainted in the Supreme Court as His
Eafher Did YearS Ago

Gen. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, the dis
tinguished lawyer and physician, was physi-
cally Frustrated in the Supreme Court of
the United States yesterday afternoon,
while arguing the case of the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company of New York VS..
the Chicago, Portage and Superior Rail
way Company.
He had not been well for several days,
and the strain imposed by the exertion of
speaking was too great. Remedies were
applied, and in a short time he was so far
recovered that, accompanied by Mrs. Ewing,
he was driven to his hotel.
1t was noted as singular coincidence
by Mr.. Justice Field and some of the older
attaches of the court that Gen. Ewing should
have been overcome almost in the same spot
and under the same circumstances as his
father, the venerable Thomas Ewing, ST.,
on the 22d of October, 1869.

Sermon On 1t ut Hamline.
Evangelist Potter was, possibly never
more eloquent and persuasive than last
evening, when at Hamline NJ. Z. Church
he appealed to the masses to come forth
and publicly confess Christ.
The auditorium of the church was
crowded to its utmost capacity. and
when the appeal was made the whole
congregation, young and, old, seemed TO
move forward.
Mr.. Potter took his text from John
xix:3: And this is the condemnation"
He considered the subject under two
separate heads; first, the existence OF
condem nation; and second, the cause for
its existence, and finally the way to
escape it.
During the evening Prof. Miller rem
dered severe!-yocal selections.
The subject for this evening will be:
1.-THE highest authority for the existence
OF hell"

THE WOOL MARK Mt.
The Owners "f Wool Still Holding on
w. X Fluwerree Rejects AL Bids
The Tone of the Market.


The Tone of the Market.
From Wednesdays Daily
The Great Falls market must still be
reported slow and inactive. This is due
to the fact that owners Of wool are not
anxious to sell till after the
London sales tell their story.
Whitteh Bros, Of Lewiatown, yesterday
sold about 25,OOO pounds for 1ll4c. This
is the best figure made public so far, but
none OF the choicest lots of wool have vet
been sold. The Cascade Land company
sold $50 sacks yesterday al a private lig-
urc, which could not be learned. W. X.
+ lOWCrr"r received bids for $1,000
pounds Of wool but rejected all the bids.
So lar it is fair to say the wool sold has
brought shade better prices than last
year. The top notch reached last year
WAS T. cents, and it is fair to presume
that unless a change takes place in the
market this figure will be surpassed this
year for the choicest clips.
