I The Oklahoma Legislature:
• •
**••#*••• ••(!••• •
The last night session was a tediou*
one. The legislators wore haggard
looks in the pale dawn. When the
word came from the governor that he
had no further communications to pre-
sent to them, t>oth houses adjourned
to the air of "Glory Hallelujah." The
conference committee on appropriation
bills was stubborn, each house claim-
ing the adoption of their report. Gov-
ernor Karnes called the president of
the council to the 'phone and made this
announcement: "I understand that
the appropriations submitted by the
house are being cut to pieces; if that
be the case you may pass the word that
if the public service is to be impaired
by refusing sufficient funds 1 will veto
every bill now on my desk." Subse
«iuently the governor and attorney
general were invited into the confer-
ence and with the aid of their sugges-
tions the conk rees were enabled final
ly to agree, and the result was
that practically all of the council
amendments were rejected, including
the provision fixing a maximum rate
for public printing: the provision re-
quiring the secretary of the territory
to pay all fees collected into the ter-
ritorial treasury. Also the provis on
containing .a malicious and spiteful re-
flection on the president of the Alva
Normal school.
The house receded from its amend-
ment which provided for $100,000 for a
library building at Guthrie. This ac-
tion was taken because Governor
Karnes would have vetoed the bill with
that item in it. In connection with
negotiations which culminated in this
action the Woods county division bill
was killed. The arrangement included
the passage of bills for public institu-
tions at Kdmond. Alva and Tonkawa.
In these last days of the legislature the
two houses were crowded by promoters
of measures struggling to secure action
upon them. The council refused to
concur in the house memorial for state-
hood. The. house bill providing for

Guthrie, o. T., March 10. —The

tnvestment of public funds in approved

ton. Traveling men and business men

City and Topeka at an expense of over
>lo.ooo per year. Its advantages an

protection.

the elevators to keep a check on the
condition and weight of every ear of
grain unloaded at the various eleva*
tors."
suec«'*s AUUIIIHI I iiNurcenU
Manila. March 10.—The rebel trading
operations in the Viscayan islands have
been effectually broken up. Lieuten-
ant Fred \l. Payne, commanding the

destroyed 300 vessels of various sizes,

tity of supplies and war materials,
shipped by the insurgent governor of
the Island of Leyte to the rebel com-
manders on the Islands of S&mar and
< ebu. The pirates who occasionally
raided the opposite shore of Negros

dians who have been living on the
lands. They paid from $10 to $30 an
acre, the proceeds aggregating 822,000.
The government appraised the land at
from S'J to 87.50 an acre. Most of the

inet meeting the president told his
secretaries that the start for California

The purpose is to make the journey
by a leisurely itinerary, devoting per-
haps six weeks to the round trip, in-
; eluding the week or more to be spent
in California. The return is to be by
the Northern route, with possibly a
visit to Yellowstone park, which the
president has been trying to see for
several years.
China Appeals Against KiiMsla.
Washington, March 10.—There is
♦ eason to believe that China has
appealed to the United States in her
extremity in the matter of the occupa-
tion of Manchuria by Russia. Whether
the appeal is broader and is to other
nations as well it is not possible to
learn at present. Minister Wu has
been almost a daily caller at the state
department and it is evident that the
Chinese are impressed by the belief
that the crisis has been reached and
the destiny of Manchuria depends upor
«*Jie action of the powers.

Yaille, who has just returned from the

general of posts, in speaking of the
Philippine affairs, said that General
Otis had told him that he did not want

him to be in the bush," Mr Vaille
quotes General Otis as saying, "than
for him to be in the hands of the
American army, posing as a martyr.**

pose of getting a better knowledge of
tiie situation in the Philippines, a
