INDIGNATION AROUSED.
Soldiers of Union Resent Action Of
Oklahoma Constitutional Convention.

Information received here today is to
sailors of both the civil war and the war
with Spain who are residents of Oklahoma
have been aroused to fever heat over the
recent action of the constitutional conven-
ton of that state in inserting a clause in
the state constitution DISTINGUISHING SOL
dlers. sailors and marines. In a commune
cation received today by Capt J. Walter
Mitchell. department commander and ma
tonal historian of the United Spanish War
Veterans. from Adjutant James N. Miller.
G. A. r. of Oklahoma. who served in Com
pany A. 18th West Virginia Volunteer In
fantry, In the civil war; the writer spoke of
the anti-soldier clause as rank disoyalty,"
and says soldiers everywhere should request
PRESIDENT Roosevelt to veto 1t.
1t is also stated that the G. A. R. has
taken up the matter and will act. Mr.. Mil
Ter then SAYS:
American soldiers have fought four wars
with foreign foes and conquered in every
one. They fought the greatest civil war of
all times. in which the soldiers of both sides
showed equal and unsurpassed valor and
endurance. The American sailors have car
ried our flag to every sea. They met the
British navy with equal honor, chastised
the pirates of Algiers opened the ports of
Japan and crushed the ships of Spain like
paper"
He claims that the dishonor that is sought
to be placed upon the soldiers and sailors
is the work principally of "squaw men,
Northumberland others to whom the Amer
lean uniform is odious In conclusion he
says: The soldier now at the head of the
nation will never approve a constitution
which seeks to dishonor American fighting
men in whose deeds he glories.''

FENCING PUBLIC LANDS.
Prohibitory Law Will Be Strictly En-
forced.

Secretary Garfield has issued an order for
the strict enforcement of the law prohibit-
ing the fencing Of the public domain. In
doing so he mentions the efforts made at
the last session of Congress to obtain a
modification of this law, which was passed
in 1886, and expresses regret that no dis
erection is given the government to permit
the continuance of fences that are clearly
for the benefit OF all interests"
He predicts that hardship and loss will
be occasioned. especially to the small stock
owner and homemaker. by the strict en-
forcement of the law, and adds, but SO
long as 1t is on the statute books 1t must
be enforced without considering the reasons
which led to any violation"
The order calls attention to the making
of gaps or maintenance of gateways in H.
legal fences, and says that these will not
relieve from liability under the law. An in
vitation is extended to persons injured by
Illegal fences to make complaint.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY ACT.
First Suit Under Statute to Be Filed
in District.

The Employers liability act of June IL,
1905. was today invoked for the first time
in this District by George w. Wines, ad-
of the estate of Burrell F.
Legs. TIE brakeman of train No. &c which
was wrecked at Terra Gotta December 80
last. Mr.. Wines asks that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company be required to
pay $4,000 for the death of Mr.. Legg.. The
act relied on does not confine the amount
of damages to be recovered for injuries
causing death. The code limits such re-
covery to $4,000.
Mr.. Wines declaration is in four counts
the first two being under the employers
liability" act, and asking damages in the
sum of $4,000, and The other two under
the provision of the code and seeking $10,-
600 damages.
The question of the constitutionality of
the employers liability act is now pending
in the United States Supreme Court, and
the declaration filed by Mr.. Wines had to
be so framed as to allow him to prove his
case under the code in the event of an ad
verse decision by the United States Su-
preme Court, which may not announce it's
opinion before the time limit under which
suit could be instituted might have expired.
Attorneys Leckie, Fulton & Cox AMI
OFlaheTty & Fulton, who represent the
plaintiff. inform the court that Brakeman
Legg left surviving him a mother brother
and sister. who are aggrered by the al
legged negligence of the railroad company.

CLAIMS PRIVILEGE.
Question Regarding Imprisonment Of
Representative Williamson.

The question whether member of Con-
gress can be imprisoned upon being found
guilty on criminal charge is involved in
the case Of Representative John Newton
Williamson of Oregon, in which a motion to
advance was made yesterday in the Su-
preme Court of the United States. In 1905
Williamson with others was found guilty
on the charge OF conspiracy to unlawfully
secure United States lands, and was about
to be sentenced to pay a fine of $500 AMI
serve ten months in prison, when he made
protest that his Imprisonment would pre-
vent his attendance upon sessions of Con-
gress, from which deprivation he claimed
protection under the Constitution, and when
the protest was overrued he appealed TO
the Supreme Court The motion to advance
was be-sed on the ground of the public inn
portanee of the case

GOLD FROM LONDON.
Brokers Secure More Than Half CT
Yesterdays Market.

NEW YORK, March 26-New York
houses bidding for gold In the open market
in London yesterday secured more than half
of the 50, 10000 laid down, the Bank of
England taking the remainder. or 81 900, 600.
The competition advanced the price of bar
gold to IT'S. 10Bd as against IT'S. esd. re-
corded on last weeks arrivals. Lazard
Freres was the house which secured that
part Of the gold not taken by the Bank of
England and Goldman. Sachs & Co. en-
gagged $4,000 outside the open market.
making a total of 81 .625 0c0 for the day. In
addition to the gold secured in the open
market the Bank of England repienished its
supply by the purchase of S215,0O0 in French
gold coin.
The engagements for this city were con-
sidered of importance. particularly as indi-
eating departure from the policy. which
apparently has ruled the business for sew
eral weeks. of refraining from drawing gold
from London for fear of creating further
disturbance there that would be passed on
to New York. 1t was considered probable
that other engagements might be made in
the near future.
Despite the engagements the foreign ex-
change market was very weak except for
short time after the opening. rates de-
Ginning in sympathy with the advance in
call money rates. With the early inquiry
for remittance satisfied there a pres
sure of stock bills, which forced demand
sterling down 80 points from the opening.
The close for demand was at 4.S320 and
1926, off % points from Saturdays close.
The rate still affords an excellent profit In
the import Of gold despite the advance in
the price of bar gold in the London market.
Yesterdays engagements also had no per-
ceptible effect on the money market for the
reason that the gold will probably arrive too
late for use in the April / dividend and in
terest disbursements 1t is very likely that
the gold would have been engaged last week
but for the unexpected increase in the Bank
of France discount rate. Bids for sixty and
ninety day money were advanced yesterday
from 81 to Z per cent, but very few loans
were made and none was reported for any
of the longer maturities. Banks were APP
parenty outstanding their resources in prep
aration for the disbursements next Monday.
They were also answering calls from the in
terror. Call money rates ranged between G
and ii per cent, with per cent the pre-
vailing figure.
Bankers were of the opinion that Secre-
tary Cortelyous offer to accept savings
banks security in substitution for United
States tours held by the treasury to secure
public moneys would result in the offering
of several millions of the tours for redemp-
ton under the Secretary's recent offer.
There are held in the treasury in this way
81, 045 900 of the tours. so that if all are
redeemed, the offer of purchase being at
102, cash resources will be increased by
S12, 2S5 800.
