OKLAHOMA ELEVEN YEARS OLD.
An Account of the Territory's Mar
yeIous Growth.

PERRY Okla. April 22-Today eleven
years ago the first installment of Indian
lands was opened to white settlers. This
makes Oklahoma eleven years old today.
First. a small tract known as the Seminole
Revise was opened. In September, 1890.
the Sac and Fox, Iowa, and Pattawatomie
reservations, embracing / ,2S2 434 acres in
the eastern part of the Territory. were
thrown open to settlement and the fol-
lowing spring the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
lands Of 4,297,771 acres were added.
In 1893 came the opening of the Chero-
kee outlet. with its 6,01i 239 fertile acres.
In 1895 the Kickapoo Reservation of 2O6. 662
acres, and early in 1896 Greer County, a
small empire in itself, was added by de-
clsion of the Supreme Court of the United
States, giving the Territory its present
settled area of something over 10000. 600
acres. 6.949, us acres being still included
in Indian and other reservations.
All these Indian reservations were ad-
joining and put together make the Terri
tory of Oklahoma. The area of Oklahoma
is 3S,715 square miles. which makes the
Territory about the size of Ohio. There
are now twenty three organized counties
and the population today is over 400, eco.
The assessed valuation of property OF the
Territory for 1899 was $40, 1872, 414. There
are more than twenty-five towns in the
Territory with a population of over 5000,
six with population of over 5000 and
two with population of over 10000. There
are four territorial school buildings that
cost nearly $1,000. 600.
When Oklahoma was born only one rail-
road trayersed the Territory: now there
are seven. There are over / 200 miles OF
railroad now completed. Oklahoma's peo-
pie are proud of their Territory.

NEW RELIGION IN LUZoN.
IL Says It's yotaries Need Not Work
and 1t Is Spreading Fast.
fFrom the New York sln.l

A new religion has been started in
Luzon. and some people think it will lead
to trouble. It's main doctrine releases its
followers from the necessity Of working.
The supreme being to whom prayers are
directed will. its declared provide sus-
tenance for ali true believers. The religion
is. therefore, attractive to the Filipino.

A man named Cabin started the religion
and its votaries are known as Gabinists.
Cabin and several of his deacons, or
chiefs. were quietly and informally shot
by the Spanish authorities at Apalit. The
new creed was not stamped out, however.

the Filipino army Salvador now devotes
himself to extending the faith. Wonder
full stories go abroad concerning miracles
Salvador has performed. Sick people are
carried to him to be cured, and if they die
under his treatment IL is said they were
not sincere in their faith
The Gabinistic religion, as nearly as
can be learned, is very simple. The peo-
pie gather and pray long and earnestly
to an invisible supreme being who is sup
posed to provide food to his faithful sub
iects in some miraculous manner. and to
lever is to make at least one pilgrimage

Salvador's chief clerk. Salvador's arrest
was due to belief that as an insurgent
leader he was simply melting the people
to fresh outbreaks. In addition to the
church general there are several chiefs. 1t
is the main duty of these chiefs to collect
the fees which are regularly exaetsd from
all believers.
At tie present time the Gabiaistic
Church is thriving wonderfully and grow
ing every day.
Planters complain that 1t is taking away
their laborers. 1t is said the new church
has now at least 10000 members. The
members seem to be little affected at the

part is, Of course. confined in Manila,
while the spiritual part returns to pray

any other State Governor might resort
But when the tribunal OF last resort has
spoken, it will be a very serious and
of any Commonwealth to refuse credit to
the legal processes of another. Reprisals
would be inevitable and the whole ma
chinery of American Justice would be de-
ranged. A vicious precedent OF the KIND
once set, would become an endless curse
to the State establishing it. and al. il
eradicable disgrace TO the official RESPONSE
bic for it,
Governor Roosevelt is young and an
bilious. He has his eye upon the highest
honors of the nation. and. apparently, with
a better prospect to some day realize his
aspiration than have most men in his
party. To pass into history as the first
Governor to harbor fugitives from justice
for political considerations. would hardly
tend to promote his desire to win national
popularity and respect.
We are strongly of the opinion that II
Taylor is seeking immunity from requisi-
lions he will have to apply TO some other
protector. Perhaps he might stand bet
ter show in New Jersey, the home of the
trusts which dominate his political or
ganization and own and control its Ad-
ministration. If that plan should fail for
any reason the situation might become
acute. We have extradition treaties with
most civilized countries. and Kentucky
demand for a requisition upon any one OF
them would place the Washington authori-
ties in a position perhaps too delicate to
talk about so near a Presidential election.
After all, if persons who are under in
dictment for the cold blooded murder OF
Governor Goebel, and are still at large,
desire to escape trial, their safest course
would seem to be to get into the noun
tains of eastern Kentucky. there surround
themselves with the banditti who recently
were engaged in the Frankfort insurrec-
ton, and defy arrest. Probably they could
do so successfully until after the Noveri-
Der elections, and if the Republican pa t.
should be again triumphant at the Polls
the Administration might possibly venture
to assist them in ways which would be
politically inexpedient at the present time.
In any event it is cruel to place the re-
sponsibility Of guaranteeing or refusing
protection upon the head of Governor
Roosevelt.
