BY SIX VOTES
KNITTED BY VILLAGES AFRAID
OF IT'S GROWTH.
OKLAHOMA TOWN SCARED
Editor Stafford Slashed His Too For.
n.idable Rival-Frank Greers
Admirable Help.

Shawnee, Okla, May l9.-The Okla

afternoon after deciding on South
McAlester as the next place of meet
in, and eecting the following officers.
President, Omar X. Benedict.
Financial secretary, II. b. Gilstrap.
Corresponding secretary, q. A,
Crossett.
Sentiment was very strong among
the delegates Thursday for Tulsa for
the next meeting place, but when the
towns would-be rivals got busy, it
went up against too strong game.
There is no question that if Tulsa had
had a larger delegation here II would
have overcome this adverse sentiment
and secured the meeting. The vote
on the meeting place stood:
South McAlester, 81.
Tulsa, 10.

The enthusiasm of the citizens, so-
cieties, and merchants in reference

EMPEROR IS

SEEKS TO PLACE RESPONSIBLE
~ ON PARLIAMENT.
SUSPENSE At week END
Anxiety Felt at What the Next Few
Days Will Bring Forth-Mouro-
nitzf Visits Gear.

st. Petersburg, May l9.-The week
closes with suspense over what the
next few days will bring forth, but it
is already certain that Emperor Mich
oas and the government do not regard
the address Of the lower house in reply
to the speech from the throne as an
untimatum beyond "A demand for am
nesty which the emoerpr will seek TO
satisfy. Partial pardon for political
offenders and other demands of the
address will be considered.
The trip of President Mouromtzff,
of the lower house, TO Peterhoff today,
as had been anticipated, was produc-
tive of no changes in the situation,
though the leader of the house receiv-
ed utmost consideration. The subject
of the address was, by tacit under
standing, avoided. The date of Mour-
motzff's audience TO present the ad-
dress has not been determined. In
case he is not summoned to Peterhoh
Monday. parliament will meet that
day, hut though the radicals are ram
pant in spirit, their leaders are deter
mined to hold the house in leash, and
not permit outbreaks until Premier
Goremjkin has delivered the general
statement Of the governments policy.
The government certainly does not in
tend to yield to the demands OF parli-
ament, but justice to avoid a conflict
is becoming increasingly evident. 1t
seems that the policy Of the govern
ment, while conceding minimum de-
mands. is to compel parliament by pa
cifc assurances to assums responsible
ity for fresh hostile initiatives.

APPREHENSION FOR POPE.
Fears Felt for the Frequency Of Gouty
Attacks.

Rome, May l9.-Although the con
dition Of the pope is not grave, some
apprehension is felt at the frequency
of the gouty attacks through exposure
to cold disordered digestion and fati-
que.
The present attack seems to have
had its origin through the pope walk
ing to st. Peters last Sunday for
the beatifcation of the Juliebilliait,
The gout which previously had on
" attacked his foot, has now reached
the pope's left knee, which is swollen
considerably, and gives him acute
pain. Considerable inflammation is
present. The temperature of his holi-
ness today was 80

SOME BEAUTIFUL FIXTURES.
Chandeliers in the New N E. Church
Are Superb.

When the congregation assemblies
IN the new Methodist church today,
they will see great deal of beauty
in the fixtures installed and the deco
ration of the interior generally. But
above all, if they possess an eye for
lovely things. they will be charmed
with the combination gas and electric
fixtures installed by Hale & Reynolds,
and which are easily the handsomest
ever brought to the Territory. The
company's men were busy until mid
night working to get everything in
readiness before the Sabbath hour,and
they succeeded in accomplishing a
task which adds hundred fold to the
beauty of the church and the comfort
Of is audiences.

Fifty pounds of fish were fried and

from the Tulsa Press Club, was sick
and under the care Of DIR. Sanborn
while in Shawnee, but in spite of II
all, fought a game fight from start to

SECTION IS DEVASTATED
FOUR DEAD, HUNDREDS HOME
LESS AND SCORES MISSING,
One Hundred Square Miles of Terri
tory Fire Swept-A Dreadful Pic
ture-Flames in Control.

Milwaukee, Wis, May ia dis
patch to the Sentinel from Escanaba,
Michigan, by a staff correspondent,
says:
-Four are known to be dead, score
or more Of persons missing, hundreds
of families homeless, s~veral millions
of dollars worth Of property burned,
four towns wiped out entirely, and a
dozen more partially, five counties de-
vastated, and one hundred square
miles Of territory are fre-swept. This
is the dreadful picture the Michigan
peninsula presents today after the
worst forest fire since the Peshtigo
disaster in 1871, has spent itself.
General Superintendent W. f. Ellis,
of the Encanaba and Lake Superior
road along the right Of way Of which
the greatest loss occurred, returned
tonight from a trip Of inspection over
the fire stricken area, and says that
the flames have gone down and for a
time being the danger is over unless
a new gale arises to again fan the
embers into flames.
The details of the fire are gradually
coming out over the burned territory.
All day long refugees and train men
have been coming in, telling tales OF
misery and suffering as well as OF
height. Reports all show that the fire
enacted while the FIRE was at its
height. eports all show that the fire
was fully as serious as was at first
reported. The buried over district
extends from point ten miles out
ofEscanaba,to Talbot,an on the south
to Claiming andQuinnesec on the west
Sands on the north, and then back tC
Escanaba. The flames were tierces
along Escanaba and the Lake Superior
line.
1t is in this district that thousanC
or more of small fires have beer
smoulderiny for weeks. Nothing wa
thought Of these fires because they
were not dangerous, but II only need
ed the wind to fan them into might,
sheet of flame. This wind came OF
Friday afternoon.
Toward noon the wind began L
blow from the west at the rate O
80 miles an hour. BY two O'Clock tn
velocity of the wind was forty miles
and by four O'Clock the small fire
seemed to have united into one larg
one that extended over a stretch o
fifty miles, and swept along with
fury that no human hand could stay.
The flames seemed TO center fror
the place called N0rthland, and iron
there swept down toward Escanaba
Throughout the territory hundreds o
woodsmen were put to work to sta
the fire, bat it could not be fought
It marched On and it was only by dl
verting its paths that some of tn
towns were saved.
