AS one evidence of what can be done, if
the people who feel a patriotic interest in
this matter will act promptly, energetically
and unitedly; may refer to the fact that,

plication to patents for Spanish and Mexi-

But the house itself, not having learned

fraudulently procured land patents, struck
out that portion of the committees report

Will be necessary to carefully refrain,
themselves, from everything savoring of
lawlessness. Nothing would better please
the heartess wretches who have grown
rich on the spoils Of crime than to be able
to divert attention from their own gigantic
misdeeds by pointing to some trivial act of
violence on the part of some settler, which
they themselves had provoked. There
fore my advice would be to maintain your
organizations. continue the work of gather
ing and placing facts before the people
showing and proving the vile frauds and
official collusions on which rest the void
titles of many of the purse-proud nabobs
that now rule this land, until the rotten

Travelling in a Covered Wagon.
Neoroes SUsDecfed.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. ia special to
the Globe Democrat from Guthrie, Okla
homa, gives an account of the discovery
of dastardly murder in that Territory,
followed probably by lynching. The
body of man ag d 40 was found lying in
road near Perkins, and by him. was a
young woman, still alive, but so terribly
hurt that recovery was impossible. The
man had been Drained with an ak and the
woman had been assaulted with the same
weapon. Near the scene of the tragedy
stood a covered wagon in which the cou-
pie had been travelling.
The discovery of the murder caused
great excitement throughout that part of
the country. News was received from
Langston that man named Clemens had
been accused of the crime, had been cap
tured by posse of 100 white men and had
been dragged into the woods, the avowed
intention being to lynch him.
Sheriff Painter was asked to go to
Langston with enough men to quiet the
mob. He lett at midnight. The crime
was committed in the midst of large
negro settlement. The whole populations
of the surrounding towns are reported up
in arms.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Dec. 17.-Clemens,
the negro charged with the murder, was
rescued from the mob this morning and
landed in Lincoln County jail. The evil
dence against him was only circum-
stantial.

PEACE WILL NEVER Be BROKEN
At Banquet of tire Merchant Eenfurers
Mr. BGyard Talks of tine Relations
Between John Buff and Uncle Sam.

BRISTOL, Eng, Dee. IT, Hon.
Thomas r. Bayard, the American Minis
ter, arrived here to-day in response to an
invitation to distribute the prizes and de-
liver an address to the students at the an
nual commencement of the Technical
School of the Society of Merchant Ven
turers. Mr.. Bayard was invited 10 be
present at the commencement for the
reason that his great-grandfather on the
maternal side belonged to distinguished
family of Bristol merchants. This great
grandfather was born in Bristol in 1903
and subsequently settling in Philadelphia
was Mayor of that city, as his father be-
fore him had been Mayor in Bristol.
The Society of Merchant Venturers is
one of, The surviving medieval guilds
The society forms an unbroken link be-
tween the Cabots and the present day and
purposes in connection with the people of
Bristol to cele ebrate In an adequate man
ner next year the four hundredth anniver-
sary Of the sailing of the Cabot expedition.
As Nj. Bayard is iineal descendant OF
an ancient Mayor of Bristol and member
of the MerchanI Venturers his presence
at the ceremonies was particularly appro-
pirate. He took luncheon with the Coun.
Gil of the British Chamber of Commerce
in the boardroom of the Council. Reply
ing to toast to the health OF the guest OF
the occasion Mr.. Bayard said that there
was much in the hearts of Americans to-
day to make them look upon England as
their old home. The ties OF blood, he
said, were thicker than water. Continu-
ing, he expressed hope that when he re-
turned to America no cloud would OBJ
struct the vision of any liberal-minded
man. Mr.. Bayard then proceeded to make
his usual extreme Anglopbile speech, con-
Guiding by declaring his belief that the
peace existing between the two English
speaking nations would never be broken.
