Oklahoma City, o. T., June 19.-The
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reser-
vation which President Mckinley will
by proclamation soon throw open to
settlement is so we'll known to ex-
plorers, surveyors and cattlemen and
has been so thoroughly advertised, that
the eyes of thousands OF home seekers
are turned towards it now. Thousands
of people line the borders ready to
make the run. The reservation Will
probably be the last Indian land thus
offered by the government for public
settlement for many years.
Roughly, the new reservation is
bounded on the south by the Red river,
on the east by the Chicago, Rock Isl
and and Pacific railroad in the Chick
asaw nation, on the west by the North
fork of the Red river and on the north
by the Washita river. The reserva.
ton comprises 100000 acres. The
Wichita mountains. which traverse
the western edge of the middle Of the
| reservation, form a watershed from
whence the numerous creeks and small
rivers flow either toward the Red river
or the Washita river. For the most
part the land is rolling, we'll watered
and we'll drained.

DowIE TELLS OF WEIRD PLOT
zion overseer Says Chicago Physician.

Zion Overseer Says Chicago Physicians
Are Trying to kidnap Him.
Chicago, June 17.-John Alexander
Dowie announced at his meeting In
Zion tabernacle yesterday that certain
physicians of this city formed a plot
to hidnap him, lock him in detention
hospital and beat him on the head and
back till he should lose all his reason
ing powers and become really insane.
He said that the kidnapping might
take place that night and otter his
services he called special private
meeting of the male members of Zion
to take steps to help the Zion guard In
protecting him. He also made threats
against the physicians that he would
do to them as he thought they were
trying to do to him, unless they shall
let him alone and stop calling him a
paranoiac.
With all this Dowie repeated contin-
ually his pretensions to be Elijah re-
incarnated, making way for the end of
the world, and he incidentally laid
claim to Immortality, until such time
as his work was accomplished.

PUTS AN END TO RATE CUTTING.
All Lines West of Chicago In Mutual
Agreement for Profit.

Chicago June 1.-THE Tribune
says: That the Hartman combine
has secured control of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul and that a
composite agreement has been made
to perfect a community of interests
among roads that have tracks enough
to twice belt the globe, is generally &C
cepted in railroad circles. The sud
den departure of Mr.. Hartman for the
east, accompanied by President John
]. Mitchell of the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank, was announced in sup
port of the statement that Mr. Mitchell
and other bankers would furnish the
funds for the completion of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul transfer.
THE meeting of the western officials
with Mr.. Hartman is believed to have
been the result of the recent contro-
versy over control of Northern Pacific
stock which drove short holders to
cover at $1,000 share. A few small
roads out of Chicago are not parties
to the agreement, but it is understood
they will consent to anything that will
] maintain rates and end the squabble
| that has been kept up in the past
among the various western lines.
ut was asserted that all the roads
west, northwest, and southwest from
Chicago to the Pacific coast will be
controlled in future by the following in
terests: Lines west of Chicago to the
Pacific coast by Hartman, Kuhn. Loeb
& Co., and the Rockefellers; lines
northwest from Chicago, by Hill and
Morgan; lines southwest from St.
Louis, by Gould and the Rockefellers;
lines southwest from Chicago, by the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, to
which will be added before long the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. j..
Pierpont Morgan and E. H. Hartman,
however, will be the real dictators and
direct policy to be pursued by these
combinations, thus establishing the
community of interests" which has
been the plan of Mr.. Morgan.
"The railroads interested in the Har-
riman consolidation, with their mile
age, are the following: Atchison, To

In some lines of mems wear, woolens, and
some makes of cheaper goods are reported

are lower on good crop reports quick sup
port has come from the export demand,
which has been the largest for weeks past,
and the decline has been temporarily, at
least, arrested. Railroad earnings continue
in undiminished volume and the only de-

SURPRISE BRITISH.
5oEas OPEN DEADLY FIRE ON
CAMP OF VICTORIAN RIFLES.
British Have Eighteen kiisd and
Forty-two Wounded-One Hundred
and Fifty Taken Prisoners, but Re.
leased-kitchener Sends News.

London, June 17.-Lord Kitchener
has cabied from Pretoria under yester
days date as follows: Near Wei
mansrust, 90 miles south of Middle
burg, $50 Victorian mounted rifles
from General Beastons column were
surprised in camp at Steenkoolspruit
by a superior force of Beers at 1880 a.
M, June IL. The enemy crept up to
within short range and poured a deadly
fire into the camp, killing two officers
and 16 men, and wounding four officers
and 3S men, of whom % were slightly
wounded. Only two officers and so
men escaped to General Beaston's s
camp. The remainder were taken
prisoners and released. Two pom
poms were captured by the enemy.
Full details have not been received .
The serious reverse which Lord
Kitchener reports is the first accident
of the kind that has happened to the
Australian contingent, and it is sup.
posed to be due to neglect of proper
picketing. Although it is Offset by
the defeat inflicted upon Dewet's force
by Elliott's column on June 6, the loss
of the guns is regarded as a serious
matter which will encourage the Beers
to continue the struggle.
More or less fanciful accounts are
published on the continent of alleged
peace negotiations, but there is moth
ing in them, and nothing has come Of
the interview between Mrs. Botha anG
Mr.. Kruger beyond revealing the fact
that Mr.. Kruger will listen to no pro
posals unless they are accompanied
with guarantee of the independence
of the republics.

severely injured. The child cannot live
and the mother is in critical con-
dition. Mr.. Mccormack and the other
children. both girls, are seriously
hurt. Mr.. McCormack's collar bone is
broken and he is badly cut about the

forms-Saw Service In Rebellion.

London, June 19.-EX~ Governor Pin
gree of Michigan died here last night
at 1885. His son was the only one
present at the time. The attending
doctor left Mr.. Pingrees bedside at
about 11:15, promising to return short
ly. H. S. Pingree, Jr., who had been
watching at his fathers side for four
days and who has not removed his
clothes during that time, noticed a
sudden change in his fathers condi-
ton. He had hardly reached the pa
tents bedside when his father died,
peacefully, without warning and with
out speaking one word. Young Pin
gree has wired his mother and uncle
in the United States not to come to
London. The body of the late Mr.. Pin
gree will be embalmed and taken to his
home.
The diagnosis made by London
specialists of the cancerous affection of
the intestines from which Mr.. Pingree
suffered practically left no hope for
the patients recovery. Toward the
end of his illness Mr.. Pingree suf-
fered great pain and weakened rapid
ly. He was unable to retain nourish-
ment. His mind, however, remained
fairly clear. During the whole of Tues.
day he was practically kept alive by
injections of strychnine and drugs ad
ministered to lessen his pain.
