Stoessel Resiuned,

ST. Petersburg. Sept. 2s.--It is re-
ported that General Stoessel, who
commanded the Russian forces at
Port Arthur, submitted his resigna-
ton from the army. It is understood
that 1t will be accepted, thereby end
ing the history Of the surrender Of the
fortress without the undesirable dis.
closures which would result from a
formal courtmartial. The generals
resignation is said to have been due
to the initiative Of the emperor. After
reading the report Of the commission
appointed to investigate the surren-
der Of Port Arthur recommending
that Stoessel be dismissed from the
army and shot, his majesty expressed
his aversion to any further discussion
Of the subject In open court.

without the train sinking into the
sands, the outlook changed; corn
and cotton fields succeeded one
more rapidly until at last
we found ourselves actually out
on the great plains, the land
stretching on either side to dis
tant hills, themselves often t rec
less.
The Choctaw nation had been
passed without seeing scarcely
an Indian, but we were now in
the land of the Creeks, and soon
in city of Muskogee, the metropo-
lis of the Indian Territory, COM
mercially, socially and intellectual
ly. The most prominent feature
there was the great number-of ne
groes and the insensible gradatlon
from the coal black descendants
of the Zulu, through the various
shades of mixed negro and Indian,
through the red skin in all of his
array of red garments and hawks
feathers, all through the many de-
grees of half quarter and other
breeds, all of which is accurately
determined and recorded by the
Government from the possessor of
one and a half two hundred and
fifty-sixths white blood to the
.possessor of an equal amount of
red blood. But the strength of
the city lies in its white inhabi-
tants. The confusion was awful.
On the streets a black or yellow
person must always be treated
courteously for fear he has some
red blood in his veins, and in So
ciety the inexperienced is unable
to tell whether the blonde he is
talking with is an Indian or not.
He has to do like the rest. They
know each others pedigree.
Muskogee is crowded with law
yers, though l found good open
ing and made many friends. From
there / went to McAlester and
Wilburton without finding any
thing. Durant was bad enough
at first sight, though the land
there is very fertile.
Not yet homesick, but silently
considering that perhaps l should
have bought round trip ticket,
I headed for Oklahoma City.
Shortly before crossing the Cana
dian river for the third time, we
passed through limestone cOun-
try, with fertile fields, steep, we'll
wooded hills and comfortable
homes. The sight of the rock
made my heart throb with sudden
animation, but only for moment,
for the thought of home, which
quickly followed, suppressed all
excitement, and | could have got
ten off right there and waited for
the first train home.
The rain was falling and it was
$50 p. m. Monday when the train
arrived at Oklahoma City. The
next morning all was bright and
clear. A great city was there, but
it did not know me; no one there
knew or had ever heard of me,
and the hustle of every one in the
mad race for wealth caused me to
for once become pessimistic-sure-
ly there was nothing for me there,
so sat down and wrote for my
mail to be sent to Enid, whittier |
intended going, but l had come
out here to do my best, and so
struck out on the job hunt.
The first inquiries brought ref
erences, and these multiplied, but
by noon l had only one left, a last
chance to which a Kentuckian
had run upon had referred me.
A few minutes before my train
was to depart for Enid l called at
this office and in less than ten
minutes had convinced the mana
ger that l was the person he
wanted to manage his city work
and a portion of his foreign busi-
neSS.
