WILL KEEP THEIR COATS ON
Oklahoma Republicans Will Wait for Nc
kinIey's Inauguration.

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 1.-THE Oklaho-
ma City Times-Journal announces that
the members Of the Republican. territorial
committee have agreed not to ask or give
endorsements for federal positions until
after President-clect Mckinley is inu-
gurated.
The Times-Journal in its account OF
the meeting Of the territorial committee
says: 1.-The territorial central commit
tee met yesterday at Guthrie to close up
the campaign ma tiers and to make pre-
parations for the next. II was one of the
most enthusiastic and best attended
meetings the committee ever he'd. Ev-
cry county except four of the sparsely
settled western counties was represented.
and in addition fifteen or twenty work
ing Republicans not members Of the
committee, We're present and participat-
ed, by invitation Of Chairman Grimes, in
the discussion of matters pertaining to
the good of the party. A greater unani-
nifty never existed among men, and ev-
cry man present seemed ready and anx-
ious to prepare for the fight two years
hence at once.
''rhe matter of patronage was brought
up and it was unanimously agreed that
no endorsements would be given or ask
ed until the president is inaugurated and
the SdDIilel OIIlcCTS sworn H.
Highly complimentary resolutions
were passed commencing Chairman
Grimes for his painssaking, able and Wig
orous campaign. The Resolutions also
included the work done by Harry Ardery
Mr.. Mcconnell, SIS. Price and WE. Wal
ker. Mr.. Grimes able management was
more fully appreciated when it was
learned that not a penny was received
from the national committee, and that
contributions from the territory We're
extremely limited. The entire campaign
was made on less than is ordinarily
spent in a county canvass. Overcoming
majority of 10000 without money, and
in the face of free silver frenzy that
was Dandered and encouraged in secret
organizations. is one of the 1896 cam
paign. and Mr.. Grimes may indeed feel
proud OF the part ne played in il.
Delegate Flynn, 1t was plainly evil
dent, is stronger among Republicans
than ever before. His gallant fight
against tremendous odds gained the ad-
miration of every person who admires
pluck. energy and courage. His honest
and manly canvass proved his manhood,
and his conscientious fight for free homes
has endeared him 10 all. His advice in
secret and open session was 10 make a
record for honesty, 10 fight for every
thing that rightfully belongs 10 us. but
10 eschew unfair means of gaining any
advantage. He is seriously concerned
over the fate OF the free homes bill and
is trembling for the safety of the bill.
Already Congressman Lacey, Curtis and
Reed have spoken against further effort
10 press, and Mr.. Flynn realizes that to
get the BIZ through under such circum-
stances viii be little short of a miracle
He announced. however. that he would
lend every effort and his energy would
so in the free homes bill
The meeting argues well for the sue
cess of the party in succeeding srug-

MOST EXPENSIVE TEA KNOWN
Picked from the Top Of the blossom and
Cosed SITS Pound.

Costa ols5 Pound.
There is a tea that costs SITS a pound.
1t is the pickings of the first tips of the
blossoms. The greatest care must be
taken in the picking. and nothing but
the bright, gOlden-hued tip taken of
the blossoms. All the picking OF this
grade is carefully done by hand. The
process of drying these tips is as deli
cate as the picking. The annual out
put is estimated at $4,000 pounds,
valued at s2,100,ooo. But five pounds
of this tea have ever been known to
reach the United States, excepting a
few pounds placed upon exhibition at
the worlds fair. 4 rich lady residing at
New York wrote to Mr.. Marr. the agent
OF the Ceylon tea growers for America
st Chicago, and asked him TO try and
procure for her, If possible. five pounds
of this remarkable and expensive tea.
Mr.. Marr was successful in securing
six pounds of the precious article The
New York lady gave a check for 81 900
for her five pounds.

December z. Should the news be favora-
BILE to the success of the Spanish army
it is probably that the president would
continue to pursue his policy Of nom
interference Should it, on the other
hand, distinctly favor the insurgents
cause, and especially il 1t should hap
pen that Weyler were defeated, Mr..
Cleveland. it is possible, would no long
er hesitate to recommend the recogni-
ton of their beliigerent rights or some
other action equally undesirable to
Spain.
What action would follow a simply
negative result of the campaign, that Is,
a fruitles chase after the insurgents by
General Weyler, is less clear Probably
the administrators course would De
influenced in some measure at ieast oy
what representations Spain made as 10
the policy it would pursue and the IN
s.ructions given her new captain gener-
al in the event that Weyler was sum-
rnoned home. Therefore it is felt here
that the most important Cuban news
may be expected to come from Cuba and
not from Washington.
General Fitzhugh Lee, consul general
to Cuba, called at the state department
today and was with Secretary Olney for
half and hour. So far as could be learn
ed there was no special significance in
the position beyond further general
discussion of the situation in Cuba. Re-
ports continue to come from the act
ing consul general at Havana and sew
eral of these were looked over and later
taken by General Lee for a fuller peru
sal. The consul general had not called
at the White House up TO noon and
hardly expected to go there today. Mr..
Cleveland is busily engaged in writing
mis- annual message and few callers see
him. 1t is understood that General
Lees call had nothing todo with any
new developments in connection with
the Spanish-Cuban situation, but was
rather discussion of the situation
viewed from his five months residence
on the island. He will be here several
days, returning then to Virginia before
going 10 Havana.
The state departrr ent has received no
reports up to 4 O'clock today as to the
reported serious enga g ment outside Of
Havana. In connection with General
Lees call on Secretary Olney today 1t
is said that the consul general before
returning to Havana will pay visit to
see his son there, and that unless pres
ent plans are changed Mrs. Lee will ac-
company him on his return to Havana.
The latter fact is taken to indicate that
the general does not regard the Havana
situation as perilous to Americans.

MISTAKEN FOR AMERICANS
Shipwrecked English Crew Mistaken by
Spania rds in Cuba,

Spaniards In Cuba,
New York, Nov. 16.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived today on board the
Ward line steamer Yueatan from Hava-
IA were Captain Nelson and twelve of
the crew of the British steamer Coyia
which ran ashore of Colorado reef on No
vember 4. Later the steamer got of in
to deep water and Captain Nelson at
tempted 20 run her across the strait to
Key West, but the water gained so rap
idly that they abandoned the steamer,
which shortly af.erward sank in deep
water The shipwrecked seaInen landed
on the Cuban coast about sixty miles
west of Havana, where they fell into
the hands of Spanish soldiers. The Span
iards, believing them to be filibusIerers
from the American coast treated their
prisoners harshly threatening to shoot
ali hands. Finally they were taken to
Havana, where they were taken incharge
by the British consul. who sent them TO
New York.
Henry W. Deloroy, one Of the ship
wrecked crew, after describing the wreck
of the Coyla, said today:
"On landing In Cuba we were taken in
charge by a troop of soldiers, who es-
Corted US TO a sugar estate. Here they
used us very kindly but they had strong
suspicious that We were, American fill
busterers. Later in the day another
troop of scoldiers took us to Marial.
where they insisted that could speak
Spanish. I was taken to the headquar-
ters and questioned by a big Spaniard,
VINO asked if we were English or Amer
ican. / answered English No; Amer
ican.' said he, striking me on the neck
and over the head with a loaded cane,
stunning me. The blood ran down my
face and back and fell. quite weak, and
as three soldiers pointed their guns at
me expected TO be shot. The Spaniards
failing TO learn that there were Ameri-
cans among our crew, l was dismissed
We were compelled to sleep on the bare
floor, with soldiers on guard. We were
then sentto Havana where we were car
ed for by the British consul. If we had
been Americans We would never have
lived to tell the story
The Coyla was a vessel of 162 tons,
built at Ayr, Scotland, in 1854.
