RAILROAD COMMITTEE MEETING.
Held Today Looking Towards an
Amicab!e Settlement.

AmicabIe Settlement.
Pliny L. Soper of Muskogee, as
sistant attorney of the Arkansas
and Choctaw Railroad company,
is in the city to meet our people
with view of coming to an amic
able settlement with the property
owners along the right Of way of
their proposed road through Ard
more. His visit here has nothing
whatever to do with the legal sta
tus of the case, but an effort is
being made TO amicably adjust
matters.
Mr.. Soper and the citizens COM
mittee held a lengthy meeting this
morning at the First National
bank. The meeting was very
satisfactory one so far as it went. -
said Judge Bradford, chairman Of
the committee.
Mr.. Soper remained here today,
and has been looking over the
ground for himself. Tomorrow
morning another meeting will be
held.
At the meeting today the com
mittee submitted plat Of the
right Of way, together with the
value each owner placed upon hi:
property, and the sum will aggre
= gate S3l 800 exclusive of real es
tate.
No propositions were made b,
either party this morning, but it /
hoped that at the meeting tomor
row some definite understandinI
will be reached by which Ardmor
will be assured the road. If Mr
Soper, in behalf of his road agree
TO pay $3l, ,290, this will leave &C
cordlng to figures computed by tn
chairman of the committee. be
tween ten and fifteen thousan
dollars N be raised by our peopl,
This resolves itself into the que'
ton, not of Ardmore's ability I
raise the amount, but how quickl
she can do it.
The probabilities are, that
soon as Mr.. Soper indicates wh'
he will do a public meeting wi
be called TO ascertain what 4
people will do.
In common with all who haN
given this matter thought, we a
of the opinion that the most IL
portant step of the town towa
progress will be taken whe1 q
citizens committee come to sor
definite understanding with {
railroad officials that will secu

4 KINGDOM RECOVERED
BY |BU RASH|D'S ARMY.
THE ARMY OF MABARONK, WHO
OUSTED IBU, LURED INTO A
MARROW GORGE, WHERE
THEY WERE sAAUGHTERED.
FUGITTvES REACHING GULF PORTS,
DECLARE FIVE THOUSAND
MEN WERE SLAIN.

BOMBAY, April 12.-Ibu Rashid has
recovered the kingdom of Nejd, Central
Arabia, after defeating Mabaronk, Sheik
of Koweyt, who recently seized the city
of Nejd and deposed Ibu Rashid, after
a pitched battle. The army of Mabar-
onk was lured into a narrow gorge,
where tine hordes of Ibu Rashid swoop-
ed down from the mountains and over
whelmed their enemies. The fugitives
who have reached gulf ports declare
that 5000 men were killed. The fate
of Mabaronk is not known.
1t wa in a despatch from
Bombay, March Sth, to the Associated
Press, that M~abaronk, the Sheik of
Koweyt, was then master Of Central
Arabia, according to dispatches re-
ceived by the Times of India, Mabaronk
having followed up his previous victory
over the army OF ibu hashid by drlv-
ing the defeated troops clear across
Central Arabia, Selling the city OF
Nejd, and deposing lbu Rashid. The
latter appealed to the Sultan of Tur-
key to send troops from Bussoran, a
frontier city of Asiatic Turkey, to his
assistance, threatening to stop the over
land pilgIimages to Mecca If he was
net helped by Turkey.

Came Into q Violent Contact. and the
Tiger Gets the hest of it as Usual.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April Fra
jah, the Bengal tiger that fatally in
jured one of the keepers at the Zoo"
in this city several months ago, after
a desperate fight in the animals cage,
to-day attacked Frank C. Bostock, pro-
prietor of the Zoo" and dangerously
injured him. 1t is feared by the sur
geons that Bostock will lose his left
arm. His right deg and his face were
badly lacerated.
Preparations were being made at the
Zoo" to ship Rajah, with several other
animals, to the Pan-American exposi-
tlon at Buffalo. Mr.. Bostock had just
arrived from Baltimore to direct the
work. He took Rajah into the arena
this morning with the intention of put
ting him through some tricks. Bostock
wore a heavy wire mask over his head
and neck, and carried a revolver and
club.
At the conclusion of the exercise the
beast was released, and started toward
his cage along a winding passageway
from the arena to the rear of the cages.
In this marrow place the animal sud
denly leaped upon Bostock and forced
him to the floor. Bosuock's left arm
was tornb y the tigers fangs. The mask
was broken open, and the tiger was
gnashing at his victims face when a
trainer rushed to the rescue and drove
the enraged beast to his cage after
firing several shots into his body.

THREE MILLION TONS OF
IRON ORE ALREADY sold,
ALTHOUGH THE PRICE WAS FIXED
ONLY A FEW DAYS
AGO.
SOME OF THE BIG CONTRACTS.
THE ENTIRE OUTPUT OF THE ST.
PERIOR REGION WILL BE
PLACED IN A FEW DAYS.

Special to the Register.
CLEVELAND, O., April 12.-The en-
barge on the iron and steel business
caused by the inaction Of the Ore Asso-
citation has at last lifted and great i'm
petuS has been given to affairs in that
trade. This is being demonstrated just
now in activity in the ore market.
Since the announcement wa made
that the prices of ore had been liked
the scenes around the offices OF the ore
| Producing companies have been busy
! The purchasing agents Of ali the Dig
plants have been in Cleveland making
their contracts tor the season or max
ing overtures to the companies WILD
which they have dealt in former years.
The primary result of this is that SO
far about 5000, coo eons OF ore of the
various grades has been sold and 1t IS
| expected that before the next ten days
have passed the entire probable output
of the ores of the Lake Superior dis
trict will have been disposed of After
that will come the work of making con-
tracts.
The first sales that were made came
from the companies outside the Ore
Association. Among these were the
sales by the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Com
pany, which made disposition of a
large block of non-Bessemer ore. These
sales were followed by Others from the
mines of Corrigan, Mckinney & Co.
Since the prices have been fixed, how
ever, some of the producers of the Bes-
semer quality of ore have made large
sales. Contracts of great magnitude
were entered into with meters by
Oglebay, Norton & Co., and 1t Is SAID
that their sales SO far amount to al
most 1000, 600 tons. In these sales the
product of the mines upon which the
United States Steel Corporation has cp-
tons, is excluded, the output being lett
for disposition later as the option hold
er shall dictate if these privileges are
exercised.
Sales were also made by the Repub-
lie Iron Company, although these are
not so heavy as those of the other COM
panies, owing to the fact that the pro-
duct of these mines has been limited.
1t is also said that sales have been
made nv M a. Hanna e. Co. and by
other concerns which will bring the
sales of the Bessemer grade of the last
few days up to about 1900, 900 tons.
The sales of non-Bessemer ore, there
fore, with those sold to-day, bring the
total sales of the last few days up to
5000, 900 tons.

VERY GLOOMY OUTLOOK
FOR GERMAN INDUSTRY.
ONE FOURTH OF THE ENTIRE IN.
DUSTRIAL POPULATION IS
WITHOUT EMPLOYMENT.
THE UNCERTAIN POLICY
OF GERMANY REGARDING TARIFF
SAID TO BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE DEPRESSION.

BERLIN. April IA recent article
in the Berliner Tageblatt takes a
gloomy view of the Industrial condi-
lions in Germany. which it says are SO
bad that the efforts of the charitable
are powerless to cope with the situa-
ton. Reduced production and the on
sequent dismissal of working people
are so general as to no longer attract
notice.
1t is safe to say that a quarter OF
the working people are either idle or
insufficieDtly employed. There is lit
tie prospect of an improvement in the
situation. The situation is made more
serious by the uncertainty of Ger
many's commercial policy. The num-
berless Industries of the country do
not know whether disastrous tariff
wars will n destroy the work OF
years. The uncertainty of Germany's
va~cillating trade policy drives German
capital and intelligence to found large
"hNNi edhih6S duIodu aUN
hinders business relations with foreign
countries. Prices are so depressed In
Silesia that even the iron works there
which possess their own coal mines
and furnaces cannot cover operating
expenses. The tin plate and tube
manufactures, the plants for the man
ufacture of electric supplies and the
textile industries are in a similar
plight.
Many factories have closed and In
Others the hours Of labor have been
reduced. while work folk crowd to the
gates of the factories, seeking employ
ment. The wealthy classes feel the
pressure of these conditions proper
tionately with the working and pro-
fessional classes.
