SANTA CRUZ. May 2l.-This afternoon
Harry Davis attempted TO assassinate w.
Z. Waters, superintendent of the Vest
ern Beat Sugar Works, near the main
gate of the works at Paiaro. As Waters
was within hundred yards of him,
Davis, who stood in front of hotel with
rifle, fired. Waters staggered, pressed
his hands to his abdomen, but did not
fall. Davis, after firing at Waters, ran
away. The shooting was seen by the
gatekeeper at the works, who started in
pursuit of Davis, who suddenly turned
and fired two shots at the gatekeeper, who
retreated. Other employees pursued
Davis into a shed. Before they could
enter Davis shot himself through the
head with pistol, dying soon after.
Waters wound. though serious, is not
fatal. The ball entered below the ribs,
but did not touch the peritoneal cavity,
though only escaping it by half an inch.
1t is presumed that Davis was laboring
under lit of mental alteration when he
fired the snots. He had formerly been
employed at the works and had injured
his hand. Soon after he was discharged.
He was promised employment, but as he
was not given it he began to brood so
that 1t developed into melancholia.

IN another part of the building, and four
cases of pneumonia. or, l might say,

VICTORIA (B. O.. May 2I.-Those who
have had the most to do with securing the
adoption of the new seal regulations dis
close the fact that a serious disagreement
occurred between the Canadian authori-
ties Of Ottawa and the British authorities
at London, which at one time threatened
to bring about a renewal of the old regu-
lations.
Contrary to the general belief, the Brit
ish Government has favored the position
of the United States and not that of
Canada as to The sealing of arms on ves-
sells entering Behring Sea during the
closed season. But the desire in London
to continue the former rule for sealing
arms was stubbornly com bated at Of
tawa by political influences which saw an
advantage in the policy antagonistc to
the United States. These influences
finally prevailed in London, although the
authorities there reluctantly yielded to
the Ottawa views.

COUNTRY FULL OF "SOONERS.'

Great Rush for Lands In the Kickapoo
Reservation.
OKLAHOMA CITY %. IT,, May 2l.-
The Kickapoo country, which will be
opened to settlement Thursday noon, is
full of ''sooners," and more are going in
every day. These men are very bold in
their declarations, and there can be no
doubt that the most shameless acts Of
''soonerism" will be practlced on all
sides. The news of the Presidents
proclamation has not penetrated much
beyond the towns lining the railroads.
Inland towns and on farms are many
people who have been waiting for years
Tor the opening of the kickapoo lands,
and these will hardly receive the news in
time to get ready and get to the country
by Thursday.
The people of Chandler and Tecumseh,
who several times during the past TWO
months were fooled by courlers riding
into the town with the announcements
that the kickapoo country was open To
settlement, and who rushed pell NELL into
the reservation and stakeu OFT claims,
have discov cred that under strict con-
struction OF the sooner" Act of 1889
every man who went on these false
alarms Is sooner" and barred from
taking land. They have 1ound that All
organization of the old Kickapoo BOOM
ers, who have been camped on the line
1or years, have all the names, sale OF
runs and the location of the claims, each
one staked to be used in proving them
''sooners," )" and the false alarms were u
scheme of the old-timers to shut off such
competition in the real opening.
There is much bad feeling, and there
MAJ be trouble between the TWO factions
on Thursday. AS yet, however, nothing
real has happened TO mar the universal
feeling Of happiness that prevails along
the border lines of the new El Dorado.
and great expectations are harbored by
many Of the old-timers, who know the
lay of the land perfectly, and each of
whom has long ago pictured out some
particular fine claim that he hopes to
