1NTRuDERs ON INDIAN LANDS.
Agent of the Usage Nation Driving
Them Out.

Them Out.
Guthrie, Okla, June 7.-Great excite
ment prevails in the Usage Indian Nation
over a crusade against intruders, begun by
the Indian agent, Mr.. Pollock. There are
1000 intruders on the reservation, and
nearly all have in crops. Last week Pol
lock issued orders to the intruders to va
cate the lands they had settled on. but not
over twenty complied. Monday and Tues
day big body Of Indian police and light
horsemen have been evicting the intrud-
ers. The damage done is vast. Fences by
the acre were destroyd, apd hundrds of
head of cattle turned into the grain fields
planted by the intruders.
The police were ordered to spare no i'm
provements. and where a few days ago
rich fields grew, all is now bare.
Conflicts between the intruders and the
police have been frequent any many have
been hurt, but SO far no fatal assaults are
reported. The intruders have formed into
a colony just beyond the reservation boun-
dairy, and 1t is feared bloodshed will fol-
low, Men, women, and children ere left
homeless. Intruders on Indian lands have
been a source Of annoyance to the Indian
agents for many years past. The average
fullblood Indian is not over-anxious to cul-

tests when white intruders move into his
land, build houses and till the soil. Some Of
the white men have been on the reserva-
tion for years. Pollock says every one must

All the cattlemen in the nation were
summoned to the agency and asked to ex-
anime the report Of a special agent, show
ing where they had cut thousands Of trees
for posts in the last three years. and were
informed that they would be compelled to
pay IA cents for each post used.

A NORTHERN BANANA COMBINE
About to Be. Launched I'm COmpeti-
tiOn With the s'Trust."


New. York. June 1T was learned on
good authority yesterday that the rumors
which have been going around to the effect
that the so-called banana trust" is soon
to have a rival are founded on fact. Ne
gotiations looking to the formation Of the
new combination have been under way for
few weeks only, but it is likely that in
three or four days this new combination
will be launched and ready to do business.
The work OF organization Is said to have
been Unexpectedly successful. and meet
ings will be held next Monday in several
cities of the United States, at which the
final steps toward perfecting the scheme
will be taken.
The new venture is described as being a
combination for protection" and not in
any sense trust. Banana dealers say that
fruit trust is impossible because of the
perishable nature of the goods.
The new combination has been in con-
temptation ever since the United Fruit
Company, or banana trust" was incorpo-
rated last January. When that company
was formed the Bluefelds Company, of
Mobile and New Orleans, was not includ-
ed. The latter company did not like the
terms offered and kept out 1t planned
the rival combination, and the present
lrult war Is the result ol the p.annihS- !
Those who will be included in the new
combination are the. Aspipwall Fruit
Company and j. E. Kerr Co., OF this
city; the Samana Bay Company, Of San
Domingo. whose New York manager is E.
C. Gedney; Taylor's West India Trading
Company, Of Philadelphia; Seward & Co.,
Of Baltimore; the Newport News Fruit
Company, and the Bluefields Company, of
Mobile and New Orleans.
Banana dealers say that the price OF
West Indian fruit will not be changed If
the new combination goes through. They
have found from experience that when
bananas go below a certain point people
do not consider them worth buying.
The new combination, it is said, will
send its agents principally to territory not
controlled by the present combination. and
save expense in these places.

attendance upon the annual convention
of the order. The opening session was de-
voted to welcoming addresses by Governor
Stanley, of Kansas; Mayor Jones. of this
city, and John Sullivan, on behalf Of the
local WOodmen. The head consul, William
A. Northcott, OF Illinois, responded. The
regular committees were appointed. State
caucuses have acted practically as a unit,

cipal officers will be reelected. Probably
the only exception is to the Office Of head

Proposes to Turn Boston City Work
Over 10 Foreign Concerns.
Boston, June Mayor Quincy. who for
the past three years has devoted himself
exclusively to chopping of the tentacles of
the octupuses of all sorts, has had a
change of heart. Early in his career he
municipalized the printing plant. public
lectures, and started a city paper, but now
there is a change. Last week he signed q
contract with Philadelphia corporation
TO light the streets of Boston, turning over
120 city employees to this particular octu-
pus. Now it is proposed to take care of
garbage and city refuse and to do the city
street sweeping by contract, also to be
given to a Philadelphia concern. At the
present time these two branches of the
city service cost over a million dollars Q
year.
Automobiles are to be used for the trans
porting the garbage, and it is expected
that the Croker Company of New York is
in the scheme.

Machine Combinations Lack Cash.
Chicago, June Negotiations for the
proposed s5O, ,000. 600 plow trust have all but
been abandoned. At a meeting OF manu-
facturers to be held here today, 1t is said
that the big deal will be officially declared
off at least as far as consummation at pres
ent, or in the near future, is concerned.
Promoters hopes have not materialized
within the expected time. The plans and
specifications for the consolidation will be
retained, but the scheme is slated for i'm
definite sidetracking.
On the heels Of the report that the plow
combination is trembling in the balance
comes the Information that the projected
100000 amalgamation of threshing
manufacturers is having its troubles.
Promoters have not obtained sufficient
funds to pay cash for plants and PROPOSE
tions to give half cash and half stock have
not met with success.

the bears are bearish in spite OF them.
The news Of the day was meagre. The
statement that the meeting Of the direc-
tors Of the American Steel and Wire Com

argument and curiously enough had its ef-
