WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The appropria-
ton bills are likely to be completed with
out the provision for the payment of Great
Britain's Behring claims, amounting to
$4,000. In his annual message President
Cleveland recommended the settlement
of these claims by paying a lump
sum- This was in accordance with the
desires of Secretary Gresham, who has
considered a compromise sediment better
than a long controversy. The executive
branches of the government have not re-
quested the appropriations committee to in
sert the $425, 600 item in the bill. 1t would be a
part of the sundry civil bill. The law pro-
vides that the estimate shall be transmitted
by the Secretary of the Treasury of all
needy expenditures. This particular estimate
has not been submitted nor is the general
recommendation of the President regarded
as sufficient to dispense with the estimat e.
If IT is hereafter submitted and the COM
1nittee inserts the amount in the sundry
civil bill 1t would be stoutly opposed on the
floor OF the House by members who do not
approve Secretary Greshams plan.

Three Put to Death After Their Cap.
ture by OklnhOmn Farmers.

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. News was re-
ceived here tonight from Kingfisher, o. T.,
of wholesale hanging of horse thieves in
the Cheyenne country. The settlers down
there have ever since the opening been the
victims of maraudng bands of horse and
cattle thieves, and, finding the authorities
too slow in bringing offenders to justice,
several vigilance committees were organ
lied in different parts of the country TO
take the law in their own hands. The
vigilants few days ago started on the
trail of one band, followed it into the Pan
handle of Texas, back into the Cheyenne
country, overtaking it near Cantonoment.
Here battle followed, resulting in the
wounding of George Gaskeil and Simeon
Campbell, two of the vigilants, and the
capture of three of the thieves. The latter
were hanged without delay. Their bodies
were shot to pieces and lert hanging as a
warning to their kin.

day presented under the call of petitions
an argument by Rev. Frederick d. Green,
of the city of Van, in eastern Turkey, for
the location of American consulates in the
cities of Erzeroun and Harpoot. Mr. Green
says that in Asiatic Turkey alone there are
$50 Armenian missionaries, who hold over
$2.000,000 worth of property, who are ex-
posed equally to the lawessness of high
waymen, Moslem fanatcism, and to the
hostility of the Turkish officials. He says
that many ind.gnities and injuries have
been inflicted which have never been re-
ported, because of the absence of Amer
