spouse. II would not be at all surprising,
it is said here, if the ultimate result Of
the broaching of this subject now were
the acquisition Of q coaling station on
these islands by the United States gov
eminent. In fact. the navy department
has within the past year been making q
quiet investigation into the facilities
there existing, with that object in view.
Commander Tanner was despatched to
the Galapagos islands just after the con-
clUsion Of the war with Spain, TO make
a personal examination Of the conditions
existing. He found that the EcuadOrean
government had some years ago aban-
Goned Ks penal station on Charles island,
leaving behind a large number of do
nestle animals in a half wild state, and
these focks had enormously increased.
Only one Of the half dozen islands was in
habited, namely, Chatham island, and that
island had but one inhabitant, in the per-
son Of a Mr.. COboss. He was Of Ecua-
dorean birth but was naturalized Amer
lean citizen.
London, Dec. $50 far as can be ascer-
taineb dy the Associated Press, Great
Britain is not negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Galapagos islands from Ec-
uador. nor has she any intention Of secur-
ing the Islands. Official ignorance is pro-
fessed on the whole matter and there
IS some astonishment at the action OF the
United States senate in passing Senator
Lodges resolution requesting President
Mckinley to inform the senate regarding
Ecuador's proposed sale Of the islands.
The Associated Press learns that Ecua-
dor may be said 10 have TO intention OF
parting with the islands at any price.
Whether or not unofficial steps were
taken by Great Britain with the view OF
their possible purchase is d mere matter
Of surmise But it is certain that, accord
ing 10 the highest British officials, these
steps never reached the stage Of official
negotiations. Special cable dispatches
from the United States Interpreting the
senate's action as emphasizing the United
States adherence 10 the Monroe doctrine
have caused no stir in official circles
here. as II is believed the international
relations between the two countries have
been 50 established since the Venezuelan
affair that Monroeism viii never again
cause a misunderstanding.

NEWS OF A MISSIONARY
Who Is EnIightening Bryan's &c
voices in Southern States.

oklahoma City, o. T, Dec. SO the
Editor Of the Eagle: A prominent Mis-
sIssippi Democrat is quietly canvassing
the southern states and showing TO the
leading Democratic politicians the absurd
iry q William J. Bryan's &c TO l hobby,
and that too many Democrats know that
congress cannot enact and enforce law
that - cents worth Of silver can be made

only Democratic congress the United
states has had during the last forty
years repealed the Sherman silver bill in
s3. that furnished employment for 291,-
oll men. Who soon afterward went TO the
middle and eastern states, which, with
that Democratic Wilson free trade tariff
bill. stagnated business all over the
United States. and put thousands Of men
OUT Of employment and closed the factor

our clothing. and that for these reasons
The William J. Bryan hobby is directly
inconsistent with and contrary 10 the
acton Of repeating the Sherman silver
hi: and nearly all Of the Populists now
understand that fact and have joined the
Republican party.
Further. he shows 70 them that 70 es-

then the $3.50. 900 currency Of national

G|LSTRAP AGAINST /
Says Single Statehood, as in
the Flynn Bill
is NOT WELL-C0NSIDERED
His Objections to Piecemeai-
ing Indian Territory

Guthrie o. T, Dec. e-Harry Gilstrap.
editor Of the Chandler News. advises the
friends Of single statehood, that is state
hood w1,eh viii include the Indian Ter
ritory, TO organize and give expression
70 their wishes. On this subject he ex-
presses the following views: According
u newspaper reports, Delegate Flynn in
tends to introduce and work for the
passage Of a bill admitting Oklahoma TO
statehood with its present boundaries,
with the provision that the several In
dian reservations might be added as con-
gress should decide We hope Mr. Flynn
VIII not do this. for such a measure is
a compromise between single and double
statehood and is forse than either. If
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory are
= eventually be one state they should
come in together, so that neither viii
have an unfair advantage. If we are
not 10 have single statehood IL ought TO
be settled now, if there is to be any
statehood legislation at all The effect
of such a proposition viii surely be to
align the friends Of single statehood
against the statehood bill.
In the past there has never been an
organized opposition 70 the statehood
movement, but if it is TO be taken for
granted that the silence of a part of the
territory means an endorsement Of the
plans Of the clique Of statehood agita-
tors, il viii be well for the friends OF
single statehood 10 organize and give eX-
preston 10 their wishes. OF course Mr.
Flynn has heard no organized express
sion that would contradict the state
ments contained in the resolutions Of the
statehood conventions, and until he has
some request from mis- constituents to DO
otherwise he probably feels il his duty
10 work for statehood. There may not
he much danger OF such a bill becoming
law. but il should not receive the en-
dorsement Of Oklahoma people if it IS
introduced. IF we aim at ultimate single
statehood we cannot keep good faith
with the people Of the Indian territory
e We insist on congress giving. Oklaho-
ma statehood and adding. the Indian Ter
ri-ory TO Oklahoma a little at a time. Il
single statehood is not aimed al, this
proposed bill IS framed 10 deceive the
friends Of single statehood,

SYNOPSIS.

Chapter I.-Donald Thorndyke. as cap
tain of the Sc. ooner Phantom leaves Nor
folk for New London with cargo of lead
for continental armies. His mate, John
Lounsbury, proves treacherous after they
get to sea and threatens to reveal the char

ships then in sight, and from which they
could not escape. Thorndyke strikes him
and renders him insensible, apparently
dead. One of the other two members Of
the crew attempts Thorndyke's life, but he
bests him and throws him into the sea.
The other. a negro. he scares into silence,
He determines to impersonate the APP
parently dead mate, and tell the English
that he has. taken the ship as a prize and
has killod the captain and all of the crew
but the one negro.
Chapter u.-When the boat is boarded, he
tells his story, which is believed by the
naval lieutenant but is doubted by a
dragon officer. Scanned. who is along
While Thorndyke is proving his tale,
Lounsbury shows signs Of returning con-
seriousness. Thorndyke is taken to the
British vessel to repeat his story to the

Chapter III.-The Phantom is taken to
