THE BELGIAN sHAKEsPEARE on JUSTICE

We may affirm, therefore, that neither above
US. nor around US nor beneath us neither in this
life nor in the other life which is that of our
children, is the least trace to be found of an
ing ourselves to the laws OF life. We have natu-
rally been led to credit with own moral
ideas those principles OF CauSality that We en-
counter most frequently, and we have in this
fashion created a very plausible semblauce OF
effective Justice, which rewards Furnishes
most Of our actions in the degree that they ap-
pruaCh. or devlatc from. certain laws that are
essential for the preservation of the race. II $

preparations might have been made
for the sending Of additional troops.
Fer this reason General Niche is in
clined to believe that the trouble is
overdrawns in the press dispatches.
He thinks the number Of aborigines
said to have Joined the crazy Snakes
is excessive and that the troops now
route to the scene will be sufficient
to quell the Indians.
General Lee said no orders had been
issued for the movement Of any other
troops and none would be until it was
apparent they were needed. He said
three troops of cavalry and seven
companies of infantry were available
for this service, should the demand
arise.
Later: General Lee tonight received
a t%elegraphic report from Lieutenant
Dixon. He states that he has not yet
made a full Investigation, but has
learned enough to warrant his saying
that the reports of the uprising have
been greatly exaggerated.
Thus far he has encountered no In
dians and from civilians he learns
there has been no violence on the part
of the Indians and he anticipates none.
The report of Lieutenant Dixon
comes from Henrietta, which place he
reached during the forenoon.

IS SCARED.
Wants Oklahoma Governor to Order
Out Militia.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. 25-Matters
seemed to have quieted yesterday
morning in the Indian scare along the
eastern border, but at noon the follow
ing telegram was received by the gov
ernor:
"The situation along our border is
serious. I cannot be responsible for
the safety of our people, unless the
militia is ordered out at once.
civilian Tilgman, sheriff"
At l O'Clock the governor held a
consultation over the telephone with
Colonel Hoffman and Sheriff Tilg-
man at Chandler and they stated that
many de%predations were being COM
mitted over the line in the Greek res
ervation, both by Indians and by out
laws, but that up to that time nobody
had crossed the line and there was no
positive evidence of any intention to
Gross or to commit any overt acts on
his side of the line. The governor
advised that close watch be kept along
the line and advice sent him of any
overt act against citizens or property
in Oklahoma, but that until there was
some attempt to cross the line or com
NIT some such act, he did not feel that
he would be justified in ordering the
national guard to the scene.

Chicago Man Who Combines
Granting Divorces with
Other Lines.

Chicago, Jan 25-According to tes-
timony given before Justice Dooley
today by a Jewish tailor named Stein
field hundreds of couples in Chicago,
and especially residents Of the ghetto,
are living apart in the belief that they
have been legally divorced.
Steinfeld was arrested for wife
abandonment, after his wife had dis
covered that the legal looking docu-
ment which they had both signed
under the impression that it divorced
them was invalid. The document was
issued by a local banker, real estate
agent, proprietor of deposit vaults
and an assistant to a judge of the
circuit court and bears his notarial
seal. Judge Dooley refused to recog-
nize the document and the case was
continued. Steinfeld's lawyer states
that Austrian and Russian divorces of
this character are recognized as legal.
Complications among the ghetto
residents are expected to result, as
under the impression that they we're
legally divorced many are said to have
assumed new family relations. "

AN ELOQUENT APPEAL
Senator Depew Makes Forceful
Address on Ship Sub
sidy Bill.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator De-
pew of New York today delivered in
the senate a Enthusiastically forceful
and eloquent address in support of the
shipping bill. The address, which oc-
cupied just an hour, was in the ma
ture of an appeal for the upbuilding Of
the American merchant marine by
granting of subsidies, as provided for
in the pending measure. His discus
sion of the problems Of transportation
which now confront the American
manufacturers and American farmers
was notably interesting and effective.
The peroration in which he urged
that the American flag be restored to
the mastheads Of the freight carrying
ships of the United States was a brill
liant piece of oratory and elected cor
dial appeals from the senator's on the
floor and the crowds in the galleries.
Little progress was made with The
Indian appropriation bill. The last
hour of the senate was consumed in the
passage Of private pension bills.

Oklahoma Executive Preparing to Protect
Territory Against Creek Invasion.
Guthrie, o. T., Jan. Ex-Governor
Barnes today ordered a militia COM
pany each at Chandler and Shawnee
to be in readiness to start at any
moment for the Indian territory line.
Adjutant General Ormar got the nee
essary supplies for the troops ready
for shipment this afternoon. Three
thousand rounds of ammunition were
provided for each company.
Governor Barnes received many
messages today from citizens of Stroud
and Chandler, which are situated near
the Greek nation, asking that militia
be sent at once to protect life and
property by p~atrolling the line. There
is apparently little fear Of the Indians,
but there is danger that the outlaws
who infest the Greek country will raid
banks and stores in Oklahoma under
the guise of Indians. IL
Governor Barnes will not send the
troops, unless the situation becomes
more threatening than at present.

REMAINS OF QUEEN PLACED
IN COFFIN.
FAMILY's LAST FAREWELL
Hint From Edward That He
Is Emperor as Well
as King.

Cowes, Jan. 26, 1890 a.. m.-The
royal family took their last long look
at the features of the dead queen
about II O'Clock yesterday morning,
when the shell was brought into the
bedroom where was waiting King
Edward, Emperor William, the duke
of Connaught, Sir James Reid and the
royal ladies.
The latter having retired, Sir
James Reid, with reverent hands as
sisted by three trusted household SER
wants and in the presence Of the king,
emperor and duke removed the body
from the bed to the coffin. In death
it was loveller than in the closing
days Of life. Not a trace of the
ravages of disease was visible.
The servants having retired, Queen
Alexandra, the princess and children
were recalled and with lingering steps
and stiled sobs they passed slowly
before the white robed and peaceful
figure. At the foot, never moving,
stood the king and when the mourning
crowd had passed there remained only
the son and grandson of the dead.
Emperor William wepu even more
bitterly than the royal ladies. Final
~ he also retired and the king was
left alone. Sir James Reid, beckon-
ing to the servants, who were holding
the coffin lid, asked the kings instruc-
tions. For a few seconds the king
stood speechless, stifled with emotion
at the last farewell. Then he said
quickly: "Close it finally. It must
not be opened again."
Thus the remains of England's for
mer monarch were closed forever from
human sight.
The remains were borne into the
dining Officers and men of the
royal yachts took their stand around
the coffin, over which the king and
kaiser respectfully laid the robes of a
knight of the garter, presenting at
the head the diamond crown. Be-
meath lay the royal ensign, while
hanging above was the union jack. .
There is no truth in the statement
that King Edward and Emperor Will
lam knelt beside the dying queen and
swore to preserve the peace. A sig
nifcant feature of all the deathbed
scene has been their absolute natural
ness and absence of false or dramatic
elements.
According to an attache at Osborne
house King Edward desires to be
styled "his imperial majesty" in
order to emphasize the fact that he is
emperor as we'll as king.

KING EDWARDS DECISION.
The Funeral to Be an Affair of Naval and
Military Splendor.

London, Jan. 25-Deep satisfaction
prevails because of King Edwards
decision that the funeral of the late
queen shall be an affair of naval and
military splendor.
Among certain classes there was a
temporary shock of surprise when it
became known that Queen Victoria
had expressed her desire to have her
body conveyed on a gun carriage. It
is said: "She loved peace above all
things more than all other monarchs.
Why, therefore, should her burial
rites be accompanied with military
trappings." But the nation under
stood. 1t knew that the queen thus
chose to a%ccentuate her unquestiona-
BILE love for her soldiers, and now one
hears only enthusiastic approval of
the gun carriage proposal.
Already tens Of thousands Of people
are taking steps to insure their seeing
as much as possible of the final
pageant scheduled for the first two
days of February. Private boats are
being secured by hundreds for viewing
the magnificent progress of the final
cortege across the Solent from Cowes
to Portsmouth. Warships of every
variety are gathering off the spithead.
More will come, until every British
fighting ship within reach has taken
it's position in that vast feet.
The hotels at Cowes, Portsmouth
and Windsor are flooded with tele-
graphic requests for reserved rooms.
Windows with improvised platforms
and seats along the proposed line Of
march in London are selling at un-
precedented prices, some of the more
desirable positions bringing 1000
pounds. Grape commands prices i'm
possible for all, except for the rich.
The shops of London are overwhelmed
with orders for black clothing. One
a almost imagine that the element
Of sorrow is absent from the public's
frenzied eagerness to see the coming
show.
Parliament learned officially this
afternoon of the death of the queen.
The Right Hon. Alfred Balfour, first
lord Of the treasury, brought the mes
sage to the house Of commons from
the king, conveying the mournful
intelligence. When the message was
being read the house stood uncovered.
Lord Salisbury read the identical an
nouncement in the house Of lords.
Both houses passed notes of condol-

ARE KEEPING QUIET.
Arrival Of Troops Has Wholesome Effect
r on Ch0ctaws.

South McAlester, I. T., Jan. 25-
There were no new developments in
the threatened Choctaw uprising to-
day. Several deputies came in this
morning and reported the Indians were
keeping quiet. One said their plans
had been given away by somebody and
they were going to make new ones to-
day.
The arrival Of troops in the terri
tory and the prompt measures taken
by the government in the northern
district to suppress the Snakes have
been reported to the Choctaw faction
and have had the effect of dampening
their enthusiasm. Besides, the Choc-
taws have no active leader and organi-
zation is not as perfect as in the Greek
nation. Governor Dukes at Fort
Smith sends instructions to the sherlffs
to arrest the trouble makers.
Under the Atoka treaty the Choc-
taws are amenable only to their own
courts for anything they do to each
other, except murder. If the Snakes
whip or maltreat another Indian the
federal authorities Of the central dis
trict have no authority to make ar
rests, unless complaint is made against
the offenders of disturbing the peace.
It is reported that there will be a
big meeting of Snakes tomorrow, but
the place is kept secret. No uneasl-
ness is felt among the whites any
where.

CUBA ExPREssEsrsYMPATHY

Havana, Jan. 25-At today's session
of the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton a resolution expressing sympathy
with Great Britain in the death of
Queen Victoria was introduced. 1t
led to some debate and bitter remarks.
The resolution, which was signed
by five delegates and presented by
Sanguilly, requests the governor gen.
eral to forward to King Edward VII
an expression of sympathy on the
part of the Cuban people.
Senior Lorente said that while he
sympathized deeply with England it
was no part of the conventions duty
to adopt resolutions of sympathy.
General Sanguilly said that a resolu-
tion was adopted by the convention
thanking President Mckinley; that
another had been offered thanking Gen.
eral Lee and that the same precedent
should be followed in this case.
General Rivera said that General
Lee was far NOR deserving of thanks
than was Great Britain and then re-
ferred to what he called "England's
acts of barbarity towards the Boers,''
and that she had refused to recognize
the Cubans as a nation and said that
by adopting the resolution it may lay
the Cubans open to slight.
Senior Quesada said that Cuba owed
much to England's attitude during the
Spanish. American war, as that atti-
tude helped to free Cuba.

ton, Is to z.
