sorting to Iawlessness, helping
themselves from the scant proper
y Of the Indians, and generally
disturbing and irritating them, al
most TO the point Of an outbreak.
Unless something is done at once
to prevent the further influx OF
these "soOners, the government
agents report that more serious
trouble is to be feared. The
Indians claim that they are being
robbed Of their stock, and that
they cannot leave their homes t.
attend to any business without
their houses being plundered and
their household goods stolen.
Trouble is looked for, especially
in January, when "the grass pay
ments" will be made to the Indians.
They then must leave their homes
and go for their payments. In
their absence it is feared that the
"sooners" will resort to still
greater lswlessness.
HOW HoMEs NAT BIZ SECURED.
AS 8 means Of avoiding threat
ened trouble, the interior depart
ment is asked to publish a notice
before these payments are made,
that the opening Of this reserva-
ton to settlement will not be by
the usual ''run," but that home
sseads will be secured in other
ways. The reservation Is 30 large,
and the sssooners" already have
become 90 scattered throughout
this region, that It would be
impossible 10 clear them out with
Oat the services Of a large body
Of troops.
The interior department appre-
cisses fully the gravity of the
situation, and there is little doubt
that positive steps will be taken
soon to restore order, even if
troops are needed to accomplish it.
Among other official reports Of
these orders is one from Colonel
Rahdlet, the agent Of the Kiowas
and Comanches. He beIiev es

10 the Interior Department show
that there Is 8 very serious sisua-
ton along the borders Of the XII

Oklahoma. Emancipation Of the
early opening of these lands to
white settlement, thousands Of
home seekers have gone there.
Many Of them slaked all upon the
venture, taking barely enough
clothing and provision to supply
them until the early part Of De
csmber. It was at FIRST supposed
that The proclamation opening
these lands would be issued De-
cembor 6, or very soon afterwards.

there is a very serious situation
along the borders of the reserva-
ton. He urges that the govern
ment at once decide upon the
manner in which the reservation
shall be opened TO white settle
ment. At present, be says, there
are thousands of "sooners" within
the limits al d about the immedi-
ate borders Of the reservation,
waiting to profit by the advantages
gained by early prospecting for
the best locations. There is no
way, the agent states, to prevent
these "sooners" from entering
the reservation in advance, be-
cause admission, at least for the
pui pose of crossing these lands,
has never been denied.
These s'sooners" show a deter
mination to linger about the de-
sired grounds until the formal
order opening the reservation to
settlement has been proclaimed.
Many of these are known to be
merely spectators and not honest
homestead seekers, and apparently
they are getting ready for the
expected run 70 follow the open
ing in order TO sell out to later
arrivals. To add to the troubles
information bureaus have been
been established by outsiders. To
remedy the threatened evils, the
agent recommends that some other
method than by the usual run for
locations be adopted when the
lands are declared open. The
agent does not indicate what means
would be preferred, bat the in
terror department oficials are
studying the situation and at the
proper time orders will DO issued
which will ct the case.

to judge the woSther reports received from various sources was shown by the action of the corn market.

Its pre- dictions also offered nothing of a hopeful character for the crop. the market ran up to oIs. A report saying that rain within the week would brighten the prospects of 10 peccentum of the crop had some wright In the decline to 55M, which came later. Selling by longs to secure profits-a thing they would have done under almost any circumstances of course-was against the price all day. September closed 7sc lower at 56. Receipts were 13S cars.
 . Oats averaged weak with corn during a quiet session. There was not the vol- tune of trade that there was yesterday, longs selling considerably less. Weak ness took the form of a lack of buyers. The bulk of trading was at yesterdays closing prices, easing somewhat when business became dull. Septembersold be- tw cen 364m36h and 35 and closed Ss lower at 35A Receipts were 109 cars.

A prominent tdctor .sr m the early decline was sensa- llonai weakness in Liverpool. due to tre- lmendous Liquidation and apathy on the part or specu.ators.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Quotations for cotton futures today were as follows:
New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. July 25.-some little trading in spot cotton was indulged in during the early hours today, but pre- sumably as the result of inspections made yeiterday. since the weather this morning was too overcast and murky % admit of satisfactory examinations of samples be- ing made. The market Is easy with a distiIct leaning toward lower prices. Liverpool has broken badly. both for spots and contracts and apparently has lost faith in the Texas calamity prophets, to the extent. at least. that mill orders from that quarter are decreasing in vol ume. Sales today. 1.450 bales. including 45O to arrive. Prices lis lower.
 The market for contracts was far from active today but there was fair amount of business transacted in the October po- sition and some little attention was given to the other months. The opening was decidedly hurtful to the long interest and for time there were dire threatenings of a bull stampede. but the market at"ct- ed down at almost immediately after the first call and from that time on there was little out of the ordinary in the movement On the first call the market was 7d13 points lower and at the close showed loss on the day of 3 points on July, on Auugst and l2 on the other months.

Chicago Grain and Provision

CHICAGO, July 25.-The grain markets ruled fairly active and easier today main- ly because there had been a little rain in Iowa and the Northwest. September wheat and corn closed each 7sc lower and oats ss down. Provisions closed 21ac lower
 When the wheat market opened traders bowed to the influence of last night s rains in the Northwest. to easy cables and also to the weakness of corn prices September sold from 7l to 70h under pres sure of long stuff. Following this there was an almost instant recovery to 7134 on reports of rising temperatures in the Spring wheat country. It was feared that the heat would be particularly damaging following the rains quickly. The mar ke faltered for a time at this advance, and then continued upward on reports of rain delaying harvesting in France, and a cable claiming that the Russian crop was rapidly deteriorating. The strC Cngth at this time being displayed by corn was a contributory factor in the firmnerss later in the session the corn reaction and decline in Northwestern ma rllets be- came potent factor and September de- chned and closed rather weak, 7s under yesterday at 1l2s. Exporters reported cS loads taken and seaboard clearances in wheat and four were equal 10 1.Ca3o00 bushels; primary receipts were 9ec.000 bushels. compared with .oO0 last year.

 William E. Cramer. the sprightly editor of the Milwaukee Wisconsin, how we'll along toward his ninetieth year, dicusses with his natural vivacity the question as to the age at which man shall retire from business. His opin- ions on the subject were suggested by the declaration of Mir. Logan of Chicago, who said that a man ought to get through when he is fifty years old. MT. Cramer cites the case of a Milwau- kee banker, eighty-one years old. who Is thinking about turning over the af- fairs of the banks 10 the vice-presldent. who is seventy three. and the cashier. who Is sixty, will take the vice-presi- dents phase.

DOUBLE TRACK FOR CUTOFF
PennSy Lets Contract for Work Which
Must be Done bV May

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has contracted with Ryan & Kelly to
grade and lay a second track on the
ShellpOt cutoff. near Edge Moor, to be
completed by May /. This cutoff was
originally constructed as a branch road
to reach certain manufactures on the
South Side. and was eventually extend
ed TO meet the main line again. II is
used now principally to shunt freight
trains around the city. and the second
track is required by the increasing
business. The work was commenced
to-day.
Referring to the published statement
that contracts will soon be let for an
elevation of the main line tracks
through Wilmington and Chester, It
was stated at the offices of the COM
pany on Saturday that no plans had
been drawn for any such improvement,
nor had the company made any appli-
cation to those municipalities for ordi-
nances to permit the work TO be done.
The elevation of the tracks in both
cities. and also in Washington. had
been talked of for more than ten years
and preliminary surveys had been
made, but the matter had gone no fur
thsr. That such an Improvement
would be Of advantage, not only to the
public. but also to the company, there
could be no doubt.
