FUTURE OF OKLAHOMA.

Marvellous as Oklahoma'S short past
has been, her future is even more glow
ing. The time is coming when the
Cherokee, the Creek, the Choctaw, the
Usage and the ChickaSaw countries Will
be part of Oklahoma. The idea that
these nations will be allowed TO go on in
their semi-Savage state is abhorrent TO
every principle of quick-progressing
America. With the settlement of that
country the great valley of the Arkansas
river with its great tributary, the South
Canadian, will be thrown open, and a
period of agricultural production will
follow which Kansas, and even record
breaking Oklahoma, have never, in
their most prosperous years, seen. And
with it will come the already highly
productive valleys of the Red river and
the Washita.
But, unlike Kansas, Oklahoma will
not in the future, depend wholly on the
wealth of agricultural production. An
immense increment from minerals is
sure TO come. There is no longer any
doubt that there is mineral wealth in
the Wichita mountains f; there is no
question of paying minerals of various
kinds in the subsidiary hills of the
Ozarks lying in the Indian Territory.
This future is more immediate than
many people believe it TO be. In all
probability Oklahoma viii he made a
state before il is consummated. and the
Indian nations, as they diSentangle
themselves from their ridiculous tribal
anomalies and complications, will sue
ceSSively be added TO the new state

SELLING MEN IN AFRICA.

The Boer newspapers of South Africa
are causing the representatives of the
British government in that part of the
world no little annoyance by calling at
tention to a system of slavery that is
being practiced there.
Captured rebels and prisoners of war,
mostly Hottentots, are being sold into
service by the British officers, and ad-
vertisements announcing that a number
of surrendered prisoners will be availa-
BILE for farm service are frequently seen
in the newspapers. According to the
the period of indenture
is fixed at five years, and wages at the
rate of ten shillings a month for able
bodied men and seven shililngs for
youths. One advertisement says that
anybody. requiring a Hottentot boy
from eight to eighteen years of age, can
have one delivered" upon application
and a remittance of fifty shillings.
The Boer newspapers ask if this is
net slavery, and they are unable to see
any difference between selling a man
by indenture with the understanding
that the wages are to be paid to the
seller and the outright sale of a slave
by one master to another.
Ostensibly slavery was abolished in
British territory years ago, but it has
often been questioned whether that alb
clifton was absolute, or whether slav-
cry was permitted under another guise
in parts of the British empire so re-
mote from civilization as to make its
discovery next to impossible.

from the steamer City of Washington dur
ing her last trip from Vera Cruz to this
port was confirmed today. The City of
Washington belongs to the New York and
CUBA Mail Steamship Company. A. G.
Smith, secretary of that company. said TO-

THE City of Washington reached her
pier last Wednesday morning AMI imnedi-
ately began discharging her cargo.
among other things there was a consign-
ment of 1U3 cases of Mexicsn coip for =.

aoout $''''o Mexican money, equal to about

counting, It was found that there were only
io- cases, and as the bill called for IO3 il
was apparent that enc had been stolen

arrival at this port.

MEN MAY INTERVENE,
Claims of Belt Railroad Employees

Judge Cox today. in Equity Court No. /,
granted permission to Attorney P. j. Ryan,
representing the employees of the Belt Rail-
way Company, to intervene on behalf of
the employees. in the case involving the
sale of that road.
Attorney Ryan intends to file a petition
tomorrow asking relief for the employees,
setting forth that the money deposited by
the conductors with the company to insure
the faithful performance of their duties

fund and should constitute prior lien, over
other claims, upon the assets of the COM
pany; also that the employees hold a prior
claim for wages due, by reason of labor
performed. The court will be urged as en-
ergetically is possible to recognize the
rights of the employees

ductors. 81 400 have been deposited with the
ductors and drivers as wages, it is esti-
mated, s2.51S.40: the stablemen. $3.50: the
change boys, s162: the hill boys, s1O2: the
watchmen, s31: the blacksmiths, S155, and
the helpers. So. This is a total due the
men of s5,172.40 and the sum of a,772. 40 is
for wages alone.
The decree of the court directing the sale
OF the road will be signed tomorrow in all
probability. proposed decree drawn up
by counsel for the trustee representing the
bondholders has been submitted to counsel
foc the railway company, who will examine
