st. Paul, March 22.-Driven from
Oklahoma. where they claim they had
been robbed Of property and the right
to vote, a hand of negroes are In st.
Paul, facing the problem of being
barred from Western Canada, where
they had hoped to start anew.
Those in st. Paul are the advance
guard Of at least 1000 people Of mixed
Creek Indian and negro blood. The
Dominion government last year let in
q few of the negroes, but the authori-
ties, apparently seeming a trace prob
lem" have taken steps to stem the
tide, with the result that when the
families in st. Paul reach the Cana
dian border they may find them
selves forced to return to Oklahoma
or some other state in the Union.
!. There are ninty-four adults and
twenty-four children in the party in
st. Paul. They we're accompanied by
Louis F. Mcfarland, district passenger
agent of the Chicago Great Western,
and G. w. Norman, travelling passen-
ger agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific
of Kansas City.
The negroes come from Waleaka,
Okla, with the exception of two men,
who resided at Okmugee, which was
the headquarters of the Greek nation
years ago. Nearly. all are said to
have owned and operated farms. The
leader, by the name of Smeed, is re-
ported to be worth $4,000, with about
$4,000 of it in his possession. There
is n man in the party, seventy years
old, who was a slave.

The tumult over the exsecretary

Ballinger home, declaring it's conf

the signal for battle.
A motion was made to lay the reso-
luton on the table and, after some
acrimonious discussion, a committee
was named to redraft the resolution.
This. committee also split and brought
in majority and minority resolutions,
the minority draft eliminating sthe
complimentary references to the for

which followed showed that the asso-
citation is divided into standpatters,
progressive Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. The progressives and Demo-
Gratis will stand together in the matter
and are said to be in the majority.

on the floor beside the body, lead to
the theory that he was cleaning the
