MT. Flynn's Bill on Behalf of Oklahoma
 Settlers Favored.

MT. F1ynn's Bill on Behalf of Oklahoma
 Settlers Favored.
 WAsHINsToN, Jan. 15.-After a hot fight, in which it seemed likely that free homes" would lose the day, Del egate Flynn, of Oklahoma, carried his free homes" bill successfully through the public lands committee of the house yesterday. The bill is very brief, but it means many millions of dollars to Oklahoma. there being thou- sands who are each relieved by its pro- visions of the payment of several hun. dred dollars Here is the text:
 Be 1t enacted by the senate and house of rep- resentatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled, that all settlers under the homestead laws of the United States upon the public land acquired by treaty or agree ment from the various Indian tribes in the territory of Oklahoma, who have. or shall hereafter, reside upon the tract entered in good faith for the period required by existing law. shall be entitled to a patent for the land so entered upon the payment to the local land officers of the usual and custom ary fees, and no other or further charge of any kind whatsoever shall be required from such settler to entitle him to Q patent for the land covered by his entry: provided, that the right to commute any such entry and pay for said lands, in the option of any settler and in tho time and at the prices now fixed by exist ing laws. shall remain in full force and effect
 Section 2. That all acts, or parts of acts, in- consistent with the terms and provisions of this act are hereby repealed"

ARMENIAN RELIEF.
Onicial Statement from the National Relic,
 Committee.

Onicial Statement from the National Relief
 Committee.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 1a-The following official statement has been issued from the headquarters of the National Arr menian relief committees:
 The reported intention of the Turkish gov. ernment to refuse the American and Red Cross society permission to enter Turkey, will not cause the National Armenian relief commit tee and its branches throughout the country to relax their efforts for an instant in raising funds to save the 3,0,0OO Armenians who are perishing from starvation and ex- posture. The national committee is the authorized agent throughout the coun- try for raising funds and supplies to be distributed by the Red Cross, provided it enter the field. but in case the Red Cross is excluded, the national committee has authority to exer. else existing agencies on the ground to organ ize new ones. so that all contributors may be assured that their gifts will as speedily as pos- sible reach the sufferers for whom they are in- tended
 Many are not aware of the fact that relief work to the extent of not less than $lO0, 600 has already been carried out in Turkey during the past three months. under the direction of strong and representative commit tee of foreign residents and diplomats in Constantinople. the European consuls and the Americans who are found to be in all the principal cities of the interior. A letter just received from Constantinople dated De- cember ?, states that 50 bales of clothing had been forwarded to Cesarea, and that it is now possible to forward large amounts of money to those engaged in this work in the devastated regions. The Red Cross could greatly enlarge this work.
 It seems incredible that while the Turkish government is permitting such relief work 1t should exclude the Red Cross. which. as is we'll known, will not step over a suffering Turk or Kurd to help an Armenian. Meanwhile all funds should continue to be sent to Messrs. Brown Bros & Co, j9 Wall street. treasurers of the national Armenian relief committee.

DAIRYMEN IN SESSION,

Tho National Union Opens at Chicago with
 Representatives from Many States Pres
 ont.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 15. Representatives of the dairy associations of nearly 20 states and members from the produce and mercantile boards of trade from the principal cities were present yes. terday evening at the opening session at the Sherman house of the third annual convention of the National Dairymen's union. The organization has for its main object the promotion of legislation to prevent the sale of adulterated food products, both oleo- margarine and filled cheese. Ex-Gov. Hoard, president of the union. then delivered brief address. The senti- ment of the country, he said, was pronounced against the adultera- ton of foods. It might be laid down as settled principle that the honest food of the country had right to the market as against the counter felt; in the interest of the people and aside from the fact that every pound of spurious goods sold, deprived the farmer of that much market. It was 8 matter of congratulation that ia no less than 22 states there was stringent legisla- ton against the adulteration of food products, while the movement was in process of concentration in several other commonwealths.

WILL COIN SILVER BULLION.

Secretary of tho Treasury Carlisle Deter
 mined to Turn Out Fifteen Million Dol.
 lars.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. ls.-The secretary of the treasury contemplates the coin. age of portion of the silver bullion in the treasury. At the beginning of the present administration there was in the treasury 2s, s94, 900 coined silver dollars available for the redemption of the notes of go. Since then there has been some coinage. The redemption of notes of % in silver since then has reduced these coins to 3l3,563. 900. It is the intention of the secretary to coin enough of the bullion held against the notes of 90 to at least restore the amount of coined silver dollars to what it was at the beginning of the admin. istration. This will involve the coin. age of between SIS, GOO, 900 and Sl6, OOO.- . 900 and the profit from the coinage will be added to the free silver in the treas- ury. The coinage will be done in the hints of Philadelphia and New Orr leans, most of it proba ply in Philadel- Dhia

Farmers Soon Dispose of Three Brutal
 Thieves.
 OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, Jan., 16-Near Jaqua's store, south of Fort Holmes, 50 miles southeast of this city, vigil lance committee, composed of farmers and ranchmen, captured and hung three desperadoes, Tom Foley, a man known as Wild Horse and a half-breed Choctaw named Marina. The night before a gang of six men, of which these three were members, robbed Jaqua's store, grossly assaulted his wife and stole four horses. The alarm was given and posse followed the gang all night, coming up with them at Crisy crossing. In the fight that followed Foley was wounded and one of the pursuing party killed. Three of the gang made their escape, but Foley and his two companions took refuge in deserted hut, from which they were dislodged with dynamite, and hung without judge or jury. Before dying Foley stated that two of the men who escaped were Bob and Bill Christian.

ECKELS ON CURRENCY,
The Comptroller Gives His viewsa at Q Chi-
 cago Banquet.

cago Banquet.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Comptroller James II. Eckels spoke last night at the annual banquet of the real estate board on Our Currency System" He said in part: Nowhere, in any nation, whether of great or little power, is there to be found currency and fnan- cial system so inadequate for the pur- poses to be accomplished as that of the United States. It presents in it's cir culation feature the singular spectacle of nine different kinds of currency, all except two being directly or indi- rectly dependent upon the credit of the United States. The treasury de. partment esta ablished by it is the great est banking institution in the land, clothed with the least powors of self. preservation and beneficial action"
 He discussed particularly the green. back element" of the system, citing it because the harm which it is doing must be manifest to all; because every bond issue made to preserve the gold reserve in the treasury bears testi- mony to the expense of it to the tax payer, and every measure introduced in congress to cancel the indebted. ness which it represents, or prevent the too great rapidity and repetition of the presenting of it for redemption proclaims it's harmfulness It would be foolish to undertake to conceal that the source of our difficulties lies in the fear that the United States cannot in the face of existing laws maintain the geld standard as its unit of value.
 ''The legal tender issues of the gov ernment ought and must be redeemed and retired if the American people are to be rid of the recurring danger and loss arising from their being part of our currency issues. It is asserted that when the revenues of the govern. ment exceed the necessary expendi. lures bond issues will cease and no further trouble follow. The difficulty, however, goes beyond the question of revenue and touches the vital point in trenching upon the confidence of those dealing with us in our ability to always pay these obligations in gold. Com plete confidence cannot be restored by simply increasing the governmental Income, but even if it could, there would be no guarantee against future impairment of it through the same cause. There is but one road to abso. iute safety and that lies through their payment and cancellation. When that end is accomplished we will have done much to rid the people of the belief now entertained, that in the fiat of the government is some magic power which from nothing can bring forth something of intrinsic value"

CHICAGO GETS IT.
r,e National Democratic Conven-
 ton Goes to That City.
Val, ! the Day enty-nine Bal lot, Required to Decide the Contest -st. Louis Pesten by Only
 Che Vote.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The demo-
 ,;c national convention will be held ., the city of Chicago on July 7. That ,ros the decision reached yesterday by tbo national democratic committee after an interesting and at times ex- nitinr session which continued until ii o'clock last night.
 There was considera ble difference of o,;nion as to the time for holding the convention, one proposition advanced Inv Allen w. Thurman, of Ohio, who held the proxy of the New Mexico member, being to hold it June 2, two weeks before the republican conven- tion. and the other by Hugh Wallace, .of Washington state, to hold it July :. The committee decided upon the latter date by a vote of 33 to IS. The main interest, of course, centered in choice .of the convention city. For this honor there were four applicants, Chicago, St Louis, Cincinnati and New York. Thirty minutes was allowed each city in which to present it's claims. The speeches made by distinguished citi. zens in each instance were of a high order of excellence, and, at times, aroused the greatest enthusiasm.
 The balloting began about seven o'clock last evening, and from the first a long and bitter struggle was indicated The first ballot resulted: Chicago, 6; Cincinnati, II; St. Louis, 10; New York, 14. There was practically no change except as slight fluctuations of a vote or two until the tenth ballot, when Chicago began gradually to increase her vote at the expense of New York. At the goth ballot New York's strength was rapidly disintegrating, her vote going almost bodily to Chicago. Bat St. Louis, which had tenaciously clung to her 10 votes, also captured several of Cincinnati's votes and on the ballot before the last led Chicago by one vote. On the last ballot, the 29th, which was taken shortly before II o'clock. the four remaining votes of New York were thrown to Chicago and she ob. taincd the necessary plurality, the vote standing: Chicago, 26; St Louis, 24; New York, o; Cincinnati, l. An ex. animation of the vote by states shows that St. Louis had practically the solid support of the free silver votes in the committee.

 NEW YORK. Jan. 1s.-The fact that Gen. Harrison had an important state. ment to make drew large crowd of politicians and others to the corridors of the Fifth Avenue hotel last night.
