South McAlester, I. T., Jan. ia tel
egram received here at 6:4O O'Clock last
evening by the train dispatcher Of the
Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf railroad
states that a band of 150 Seminole In
dians is on the war path and is leaving
behind it q trail Of blood. A telegram
was sent by the railroad station agent
at Earlsboro. The brief information
conveyed was that the Seminoles were
avenging the work of the mob of white
men that burned two Seminole Indians
at the stake on Friday last and that
the infuriated Seminoles had already
massacred 25 men, women and children.
The station agent gave the additional
information that the band had started
from point six miles south of Earls-
boro with the avowed intention Of
setting fire to Tecumseh and killing all
whom they met; that the Indians were
reported to have changed their course
and were at the time of the sending Of
the message headed toward Earls-
boro. The receipt of this startling In
formation has created intense excite
ment in South McAlester.
Scores Of people here who have rela-
tives and friends at Earlsboro and
other points in that section are be-
sieging the telegraph offices for news,
but the agent has left the Earlsboro
station to gather further information,
or perhaps was slain or driven to seek
refuge.

The case was kept open, and he was
continued under arrest in his bed four
years, during 1S93-4-5-6. Then the Brit
ish parliament came to his relief and
passed special act that permitted tho
magistrate to attend Herz's bedside and
take his testimony. This was done, and
the magistrate promptly declared that
the charges were utterly invalid and
scarcely deserving of notice. That was
on May 2, 1896, and Herr was released
from arrest.
Meanwhile the French government
had instituted numerous proceedings
against him in France and confiscated
all of the property of himself and OF
his wife. DR.. Herr alleges that this was

AGAINST FRANCE.

He Lays HIS Complaint Before the state
Department at Washington, by Whom
It Is Taken Under Adviseinent-He De-
mands e5,OOO,OOO From France.
Washington, Jan. 11.-Messrs. Ditten-
hoefer, Lauterbach and Limburger,
counsel for DR.. Cornelius Herr, have
appeared before Solicitor Penfeld at
the state department and presented a
claim for indemnity in the sum of S5,-
100000 against the French government
for an alleged attempt to persecute
Dr. Herr. The case is remarkable in
many ways and it is said at the depart
ment is without a precedent.
The facts in brief are that DIR. Herr,
whose name stands very high in scien-
tifc circles as an electrician and phys
icist, although born in France of French
parents. is an American citizen When
he was about 8 years of age. his parents
came to New York and acquired Amer
lean citizenship.
Young Herr was educated in the New
York Free academy, now the College of
the City of New York and received two
degrees. He rounded this out by courses
In Heidelberg and other great European
universities. At the age of Is years he
was a lieutenant in the United States
army. In 1871 he was charged by the
municipal authorities of Chicago with
a mission in connection with the recon-
struction of that city after the fire. He
afterward held posts of responsibility
and honor in San Francisco and New
York. Meanwhile his fame as an cleo
trician had spread, and he did much to
extend the study of this branch of sci
ence besides establishing, as his brief
claims, the forerunner of one of the
largest of the great electrical corpora
tlons now in existence in this country.

He married an American woman, and
when his children were born in Paris he
caused them to be registered as Amer

offered an amendment that the invesH-
cation also extend to Camden, Mercer

Hudson county welcomed an investiga.
tion, but unless the house intended to
extend the investigation to other coun-
ties he was constrained to believe that
the resolution was not prompted by a
desire to learn the truth, but as a mat
ter of political buncombe. Mr.. Aliens
amendment was voted down by a strict
party vote, and the original resolution
introduced by Mr.. Gledhill was then
adopted.

YELLOW JOURNALISM IN FlTlA'NCD |
If one is to judge of French senti-
ment touching the United States from
the Paris journals, the conclusion is
inevitable that the traditional friend
ship between the two republics is Of the
hollowest sort. More than that, It is
apparently clear that the people Of
France. republicans though they may
call themselves, are more the friends of
a medieval monarchy whose cruelty
and barbarism have shocked the civil
lied world than they are of the only
republic, except Switzerland, which has
republic, except Switzerland, which
has. For it must be remembered that
chief among the political problems Of
France is still that OF the continued
existence Of the republic. The French
newspapers, however, do not necessarily
represent French, or even Partisan, pub
lie sentiment. They are owned by
money lenders, and controlled by the
owners Of Spanish bonds; they are vile
and venal, and are the models of the
yellowest Of our own yellow journals
Hardly a word that appears in them is
trustworthy. But beyond these sensa-
tiOnal newspapers there seems to be in
France an antipathy to this country
which needs explanation. Probably ii
| Is felt. as it is manifested. by those
who are offended by the native bad
manners of the democracy; and this
feeling against bad manners is exagger-
ated in Paris, because the manners Of
democratic France are as much worse
than the manners of democratic Amer
lea as it is possible to conceive. The
truth is probably that dignified and m
teligent Frenchmen have come to hate
democracy generally, by reason of the
antics of French Socialists and other
French democrats. Therefore some in
telligent and reputable papers like the
Temps break out against us in vilinca-
tion, and even some officers OF the
navy indulge in criticisms of our own
service, because they do not like to be-
lieye that the navy OF a democratic
power can be a strong one.-lHarper's
