1t Is Drawn In the Public Schools of Okla
homa-A NJ lid Rumpus.
PERRY, Ok, Jan. 14.-Yesterday
morning the public schools opened
here after being closed by the school
board. At the three school buildings
more than 600 children were in at
tendance, and among the number
nearly 100 colored children demanded
admission, but all were refused by the
superintendent, except one boy, whose
name was in a suit brought some time
ago against the school board when the
negroes first sought mixed schools.
The court decided this boy must
be admitted, and so the superintend-
ent of schools admitted the boy early
yesterday morning. The others he
turned a. y after several small fights,
and it looked all day like riot would
take place. The larger white school
boys went into the school rooms with
rocks in their pockets, preparing to de-
fend themselves against sitting side by
side with the colored boys.
At IL o'clock, during the absence of
the city superintendent, the deputy
county attorney arrived with four col.
admitted. He went from room to room
and each teacher fought hard against
tile admission of the children, saying
they had no orders, but the attorney
at length seated them and left them,
but the teachers refused to teach

WITHOUT FEED OR WATER.

Chicago Cattle Shippers VIII Send New
York COnsfgnments Straight Through.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Some of the cat
tlemen, who ship from here to the At
lantic seaboard, have decided to dis
pense with the services of the men
whom they have been sending with
cattle to see that they are properly fed
and watered in transit. AS result,
so men were laid off at the stock yards
last night. As the matter now stands,
the cattle will not be fed or wat
erred from the time they leave Chicago
until they arrive in New York. If any
detention should occur en- route, the
cattle would be that much longer with
out attendance. It is said that ship
pers in Kansas City are contemplating
similar action, and that cattle will be
sent from that city to the Atlantic sea-
board without receiving any attention.

WAsHINGToNf Jan. 13.-Administra-
ton officials assert entire confidence in
the success of the presidents popular
loan. Secretary Carlisle is as sanguine,
or more so, than any other official Of
the administration. He says the
advertisement for the bonds was
made in good faith. that it will be
carried out to the letter. and that all the
bonds will be su Inscribed for. The ad.
ministration has the power, he says,
to make the loan a success, and it
means to exercise it. What Mr.. Car
Isle seems to mean by this is that the
banks will take the bonds and will
give the treasury gold to maintain the
redemption fund in case it is needed
between now and February 5.

COOLING DOWN.
The stress of Feeling Between England
and Germany Growing Less.

The stress of Feeling Between England
and Germany Growing Less.
LONDON, Ian. 13.-Interest in the
Transvaal question in its immediate
bearings has revived to an appreciate
extent, while the incidental straining
of relations between Great Britain
and Germany, which so completely
placed the Beers in the background of
the picture for time, has in its turn
receded, but by no means disappeared.
There is little apprehension of war
with Germany, over the present COM
plications at least, and the British
public has a reassuring sense that il
there is to be war, England is ready
for it. The prompt and efficient meas
ures of the naval authorities and the
formida BILE show of strength that is
the result, give John Bull feeling Of
confidence. There are no further ex-
plicit announcements of movements
looking to an alliance of the powers
against England to-day. Neverthe-
less, it is keenly perceived by the pub
lie that the sentiment displayed by the
German government has a far wider
bearing than the present dispute in
the Transvaal, and there are visions of
Oh duSSCAOAo "a
conflicting interests.
A dispatch received from sources
sympathetic with the Transvaal gov
eminent in johannesburg last night
asserts the plot for DR.. Jameson's raid
and the coincident uprising of the
Uitlanders was the most shameful in
history. The blacklist part of the plot,
the Dispatch asserts, was the intention
of the agents of the Chartered South
Africa Co. to set loose the savages to
invade the Transvaal from all points
and to kill every white man. It had
been engaged that all over South AT.
RIGA provisional stations should be
erected on the lines of the route, and
the points had been fixed. The object
was to destroy Pretoria and to present
England fat accompli before any in
reference could reach them. Sketches
of Pretoria and of the Rand made by
military men have, it is said, been
seized. This story, however. is de-
nounced in London as gross exagger

Emperor VIlIIam's Move.

LONDON. Jan. lit seems pretty
we'll esta biished in the public mind
that Emperor William did not mean to
threaten war upon England by his
message of sympathy to President
Kruger, of the Transvaal repub-
lie, and the reports which
were circulated few days ago
of an European alliance back
of Germany and against England 6nd
little further credence. 1t seems to be
accepted that the German emperor
simply intended to express his own
opinion of the Jameson raid in that
message, and the temporary sentiment
of irritation which it caused him.

CRITICISED THE SCHOOLS.

Kansas City Minister DenOunces Minis
tiers and Teachers for Alleged Shortcom-
ings.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 14.-Rev. ].
B. Welty, pastor of the Fourth Presby-
terrain church, read a paper before the
Ministers alliance yesterday on THE
Social Purity Movement" expressing
the opinion that social impurity was
everywhere on the increase, especially
in this country. He severely criticised
the public schools for failing to
teach the children a stronger NOR
atty. The teachers, he said, should
talk plainly to the boys and girls up
on the subjects that were, unfortu-
nately, usually avoided. Says DR..
Welty: Let anyone send boy to
school, and that boy will learn to lie
and steal before he learns to read. y
Boys learn vice from many sources, he
said; from literature, evil associates,
and, most deplorable of all, bitter per-
sonal experience. DR.. Welty was
strong in denunciation of the ministers
of the gospel for willfully avoiding
any discussion of social evils in their
pulpits. Ignorance was the handmade
place the safeguard of knowledge
around the young. One of of the rem
edies suggested by the speaker against
the spread and propagation of social
impurity was the enactment of stricter
marriage laws. Divorce is now so
easy" he said, that it is popular, and
in some states the courts are turned
nto mere divorce mills

SEVEN LIVES LOST.
An English Ship Wrecked ON Vancouver
Island-TerrIbIe Suffering of the Crew.


An English Ship Wrecked ON vancouver's
Island-TerrIble Suffering of the Grew.
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 13.-Ten days
of suffering from cold and privation
on rocky bluff. during which time
seven of the crew. including the cap
tain and mate, met their death, and
the other mate and seamen met with
terrible accidents, tells the tale of the
wrecking of the big four-masted Eng.
lish ship Jeantee Cowan on Vancouver
island, otherwise known as the Bone
yard of the Pacific ocean. This fright
full news was brought to this city this
afternoon by the tug Tyee, which had
but few hours before landed IA MEM
bers of the Inflated crew at Port
Townsend. The officers of the tug tell
a most narrowing story of the wreck
and of the condition of the crew and
of it's surroundings as found by them.
The vessel struck New Years day.
Capt. Thompson died several days after
the ship struck the reef, and the cook
and an able seaman and the man who
ran the donkey engine died the fol-
lowing day, the latter becoming vio-
lently insane. The other three men
who lost their lives were the second
mate and two apprentice boys Nine
members of the crew were left on the
shore in cabin about mile north of
the place where the ship went on the
reef.
The tug Tyee first sighted the
wrecked ship on Saturday afternoon.
| She was plainly outlined on the shore
of Vancouver island and could not be
mistaken. No sign of the crew could
be seen on the shore. The sea was
running pretty high at the time the
tug hove to, but two boats were low
cred and a start made for the ship,
which was standing up majestically,
her lower topsail set and straight on
to the westward. The stern was high
| in the air and the rudder broken square
| in two.
A portion of the crew could be seen
on top of high bluff, on which tent
had been pitched A sight met the
gaze of the rescuers that will never be
forgotten for years to come. Seated
about fire were IS men all wearing
an expression of utter hopelessness
and misery. First Mate Charles Lee
gall, who was dashed to q boatswain' S
chair, suffering from fractured leg,
told Mate Hall, of the Tyee, the story
Il
of the disaster. He said the Cowan
came from Cape Town, South Africa,
for Royal Roads, B. c., and was los
days out when she reached Cape Flat
terry on December 10. There was ter
rible storm off the cape and the vessel
stood off the cape two days before
trying to come in. Then she was
driven quickly to the northward by a
strong southwest wind and sought
shelter in the treacherous waters OF
Barclay sound to avoid being driven
ashore on some exposed point. The
sound afforded but little shelter, and
she was driven on the rocks a: high
tide This was two o'clock on the
morning of Dece mber 81, and snow.
storm was coming on. The ship seemed
to be breaking in two and it was de-
cided to leave her at once, and with
the aid of line made fast ashore the
entire crew was taken off.
