Oklahoman: There is no room in
lis country for two Republican par
ties, and if Il is necessary for Democ
racy TO so alter its creed that there
lis substantially no difference between
what it represents and what the Re
publican party represents, the rank
and file will not take TO the "har-
mony" program so readily as is fonds
ly hoped in some quarters. A way is
open for securing harmony without
the sacrifice of principle or deviation
from tradition BAT it doesn't lie thru
surrender to the interests which the
party has been fighting from the out
set. On the contrary, it can only be
secured by addressing Itself to the
issues before the country and inviting
the cooperation of all men who be-
lieve in Democratic principles in the
work of applying them. In no other
sort OF harmony program will the
rank and file participate.
Blackwell News: In the death OF
John Havighorst. who died at Guth.
rie, Saturday morning, the territory
lost a brilliant man, and the city OF
Guthrie lost noble citizen. He came
to Guthrie on the day old Oklahoma
was opened TO settlement, from Ha-
vana, Mason county. Illinois. where
for years he had held various public
office. He was popular with every
body who knew him. and his thou
sands of friends throughout Oklaho.
ma will be grieved TO learn that he
has passed away.
Mangum Star: Delegate Mcclure
was elected by the people of Oklaho-
ma in the belief that he would secure
some kind of statehood Tor them dur
ing the present congress. True, he
has never yet been offered the kind OF
statehood that he pretended to be
elamoring for, but in the event he
could not get what he wanted-state-
hood for Oklahoma alone-he should
take the kind that great majority of
'he people of Oklahoma want, name
ly, statehood for Oklahoma and In
dian territories, combined.
Newkirk Democrat Herald: by the
time Delegate MCGUIRE arrives in Ok
lahoma he won't be able to recognize
his own party"
Chandler News: Notwithstanding
the fact that It is apparent to about
ninety per cent of the Republicans OF
the territory that congress has no in
tention OF giving Oklahoma separate
statehood. some OF the Republican
leaders insist on copti'uing their op-
position to The evident sentiment OF
the Republicans il congress, and it
will be surprising if they do not this
year seek to have the territorial Re
publican convention indorse the sep
arate atehood Idea In fact, it is as
serted from some sources that this is
the purpose of holding the early con
veriion. From this side of the terri
tory il looks as though such a course
would be 10 duplicate the folly Of
1896. Neither congress nor the ma
tional Republican convention will care
much for the resolutions that may be
passed by our convention"
Oklahoman; AS the Republican ter
ritorial convention draws near it looks
like Mr. Mcclure viii be renominaied
by aeclamation and defeated unani-
mously.

DUnONT'S SHIP.
Some One Slashed the Gas Bag-No Ascension
 July 4th.

Worlds Fair Grounds, St Louis, June 2S.-Some time during the night the gas bag of Santos Dumont's airship was cut and slashed ill such a manner as to preclude all possibility of its being repaired in time to allow an as tension on July 4. The work was ap- parently done with a jackknife. There are at least twenty long rips in the bag. and Prof Carl Meyers, who has charge of the aeronautic contests, declares to- day that it will take at least two weeks 10 repair the damage.
 The big gas bag had not yet been removed from the crate in which it came from Paris. The cover had been removed by a customs inspector and the crate was then rolled into the center of the big shed prepared for the airship. Being of adhesive ma terial the bag was hung in folds from slats nailed near the top of the crate and in this way was prevented from becoming a solid mass because of it's own weight. Several folds of the bag over each slat were exposed to view and the vandal drew his knife across those cutting through for two to four thicknesses of material with each slash. MT Dumont says that he is un- able to tell as yet what effect this van- dalism will have on his plans.

GYPSY WAS GAY
 NOW IN LOOKUP

William Scott gypsy, Is occupying a cell in the police station as a result of having imbibed too freely of intoxi- cants and for being too fresh with his talk. This morning a telephone mes sage was received at the police station stating that a man was driving a wagon up South Mnin street to which was attached another wagon. To the rear of the second wagon was a COW, which appeared in an exhausted condi- tion and was hardly able to raise it's feet off the ground Sergeant Pagan met the turnout on South Main street. Approaching Scott he advised him to put the cow up in stable for time that it might secure rest. Scott be- came somewhat fresh and said he would do whatever he wanted with tho cow. The sergeant asked him where he was stopping and he replied: T am going until stop.' Tn answer to a question as to where he came from he said: sI came from where started. ," "All right" replied the sergeant, "you will go where will stop" Scott and his rig were driven to the police sta ton. Scott was left there and the team and COW were placed in livery stable.
 John Scanlan was arrested to-day by Officer Cronan on warrant charging him with breach of, the peace. It is al leged that he was one of q number or boys who have been annoying an old man fin the northern section of the city.

TREASURES
 SEIZED.
British Steamer Had
 $lO, ,OOO Cargo.
Bales of Silk and Chinese Antiques and Curios Treasury Agents Routed Sleepers Out of nyster- ious Looking Runks.

New York, June 2S-Treasures of the orient, contained in forty-seven cases, have been found secreted on the British steamship Indrawadi by treasury agents. The seizure is valu- ed at more than $1O,0OO and is the largest of the kind ever made in this port. Besides bales of silks there were many cases containing Chinese antiques and curios which were taken from the palaces and temples at the time of the occupation of Chinese ter ritory by foreign troops.
 For some time past special treasury agents who watch the invoices of all vessels have noticed that at certain Japanese and Chinese shops there were articles for sale that were out of the ordinary run of goods found at such places, and they began to watch the ships which might bring such goods. After the IndraWadis mani fest had been checked off and the car go unloaded, the treasury agents visit ed the crew's quarters, where they found several men making attempts to sleeS, in hunks that looked overload ed. The men were routed out and from beneath mattresses the officers took box after box of the finest silk handkerchiefs, hand embroidered in exquisite designs. Tn the carpenters loom they found huge box all tied up aud ready for shipment, which when opened, revealed a remarkable collection of curios. There were pieces of finely carved ivory, small idols in gold and silver and pieces of dainty Chinaware were tucked neatly away throughout the box.
 The agents made a thorough search from stem to stern. They came upon what was apparently a false parti ton which they tore away and found with in forty-two cases containing tea sets and vases, peacock and ostrich feath- CTS, and Chinese screens of the rarest patterns, valued at several hundred dollars each.
 The officers of the ship expressed surprise that such things could have come aboard without their knowledge, and they expressed their willingness to aid in the capture of the guilty persons. Nobody on the ship would claim a single thing, so no arrests were made.

BOAT AND BALL.
Cloudy Skies at Poughkeep. Ball Game at
 New Haven.

Poughkeepsie, N Y, June 28-Oyer- cast skies and other indications of uIl- propitious weather characterized the early hours of regatta day, and what little boating enthusiasm there was during the morning was seriously dampened thereby. But as the hours passed northwesterly wind began to clear the sky and fine afternoon was predicted with the turn of the tide. Last night was almost as quiet as an ordinary summer evening in Pough- keepsie. The curious chapter of acci- dents to Pennsylvania is almost the only topic of interest The shell, which was split in landing at the float yester- day is, however, not seriously hurt. Townsend will substitute for Block in the freshman crew, the latter having sprained his ankle. The freshman coxgwain cut himself with broken pitcher.
 Cornell is still a long favorite, though the almost unprecedented fact that two of her men, the Foote cousins, are to row in both the four-oared and varsity races introduced an element of uncertainty, and leads many to believe that she may have to sacrifice the four- pared race for the sake of the varsity. Wisconsin confidence gained strength to-day and there were many persons who shook their heads over Columbia as a mysterious factor, for little IS known in detail of Columbia's work, which has been done far up the river, where her crews could be free from observation The general impression Is that Columbia has been gaining ma terially in the matter of endurance, which was her weak spot last year.
 New Haven, June 28.-Yale and Harvard met on Yale field at 3 o'clock this afternoon for their an- nual Yale class day game, the second of the series this year. Harvard won the game last Thursday in Cambridge and the expectation is generally among Yale men that the blue stock ing nine will win this game.
 Long before the hour scheduled for the opening of the game thousands of graduates wended their way by class es to the field, the classes of 1901 and 1901 &, 1898 and 1898 S., 1894 and 1894 S., being in fantastic uniforms. One class 1901 s wore dark brown oil- cloth uniforms with Indian head dress feathers. the class of 1901 oilskins of yellow hue with great blue on their backs, the class of 1898 minstrel coats of white with enormous blue buttons and chimney pot hats of the style of 1872.

AT PORT ARTHUR.

Che Foo, June 2s, 6 p. m:-Letters received here to-day from Port Ar thur, dated June %, give no news but convey an idea of the conditions pre- vailing in the besieged city. One writer says the cifilians, though know ing something of what is occurring, are ignorant of tNe progress of the war. Little information leaks out, Most of the non-combatants have caves in the hills or underground cells where they spend the nights in safety. Bands play occasionally in the parks and the prices of food are slightly higher. The Chinese are suffering se- vereIy in many ways as result of the fighting. The food on the junks is provided by the government to enable the Chinese to leave Port Arthur. The Red Cross nurses, in the absence of regular work have established eating houses for the needy. Some of the Chinese are still working on the new shipbuilding works.

WHITTEnORE BLOCK.
Ground Broken This Afternoon -Ne-
 gotiating for O'Connor Building.

James F. Gaffney has been awarded the contract for the four>story brick block to be built by J. H. Whittemore on the site of the Danbury Hat store on Bank street, and the one-story brick addition to the block adjoining, north side. The new structure will contain two stores. The upper floors will con tain several small tenements. Ground was broken for the cellar this after noon.
 1t was reported about town to-day that J. H. Whittemore had purchased the O'Connor block, adjoining the rink lot, for $25,O00, but such is not the case It Is understood that MT Whit temore would pay $23,000 for the prop erty, but the owners consider 1t worth more. The lot runs clear back to Cot tage place and would come in just right for the rest of the Whattemore property in that street. Michael O'Connor bought the land in 1867 for $2,5O0, put up the block and did busi- ness there for many years.

BRIGANDs ARE ACTIVE.

New Chwang, June 2S IS a. ml- Brigands are again active in this vicin- fly. They attacked a village two miles south of here last night and the natives and foreign residents fear that on ac- count of the Russian reverses if the Japanese troops do not arrive within few days the brigands will become bolder and enter this city. This they could do easily as 1t lies practically un- protected. The Russians have less than seventy-five men in the city proper, with a few Chinese police, who, 1t is believed, are in league with the outlaws All the foreign residents. the British especially, are unable to un- derstand the reason which prompted the British consul to reporg to the Lon

GIFTED vIOLINIST
Brought On Heart Disease by Exces-
 sive Playing of Instrument.

New York. June 2s. Michael TT. Roach, a gifted violin player who had travelled in many countries, is dead at his home in Hampstead, l.. I.
 Roach suffered from heart trouble brought on by excessive playing on his beloved instrument, Stradivari- us. He had for years played frequent ly more than twelve hours a day. When he fell i'll several months ago the doctors warned him that excessive devotion to music had weakened his heart and that he would have to use the bow more moderately. He ob- served their injunctions for a time, but found it hard to master his pas sion for music, so that two weeks ago he was forbidden to touch the violin again. He declined rapidly from that time to his death.

JAPANESE BRUTALITIEs.

St Petersburg, June 2S (12:13 p. m.)-- The Novoe yremya to-day, calling at tention to the statement that Don Jaime de Bourbon was an eye witness 10 the killing of Russian wounded at Vafangow, declares that something must be done quickly to prevent the war degenerating into the senseless brutality which the Japanese practices indicate. The paper urges the Rus sian newspaper correspondents to show up the authors of this brutality and se- cure the evidence of eye witnesses and photographs in order that The Hague convention may be invoked.
 The sudden cessation of newspaper dispatches from the theater of war tends to confirm the belief that the armies are about to engage. Most of the military critics take the view that a big battle is imminent, although the Noyoe Vremya's expert thinks that a pitched battle now is more attractive to the Japanese generals than to Gen, eral Kilropatkin, saying that the latter does not need precipitancy, as Russian endorsements continue to arrive, but if the Japanese want a battle they must hasten as only a fortnight remains be- fore the rains set in.
 The army organ. whose comment was written before the arrival of Lieuten- ant-General Sakharoff's dispatch last night. points out the difficult. noun tainous country which General Kuro- ki's columns are moving, and finds in General Oku's withdrawal southward either that the Japanese are trying tS draw off part of Kuropatkin's army, or their decision. in view of the near ap- proach of the rainy season, to arrest their further advance. In the latter case the enemy would be able to hold the greater part of the Liao peninsula until the resumption of active opera tions in August.
 All the papers consider almost mex plicable the failure to receive further reports from Tokio of the sea fight off Port Arthur and are reproducing with great prominence dispatches from Ger man papers to the effect that Admiral Togo in his official reports did not claim positively to have sunk Rus sian battleship or to have crippled two other vessels.

DESPERADO CORNERED.
Wisconsin rfilitiamen After Murderer
 of Four Persons.

Chicago, June 2S.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Winona, Minn, says: John Smith, supposed to be guilty of -four murders, the latest of which was the shooting of Sheriff Harris of Eau Claire, Wis, a few days ago on an Omaha passenger train near that city while the sheriff was attempting to arrest him on the charge of robbing q store at Rosmond, Wis, has been To- cated in the bottom across the river from this city. Three hundred Wis consin militiamen form a net, through which the desperado can hardly escape alive. At Galesville ho entered a farm house and demanded something to eat. When the food was placed on the table he placed his revolvers in front of him and allowed no one to leave the room
 Tn addition to the murder of Sheriff Harris, Smith is wanted for killing the chief of police of Havre, Mon. Af- ter killing the Montana officer he grew fearful that his wife or child might give the crime away, 50, it Is alleged, he shot them both and fled ito wiscon- sin. He is 24 years old.
