Senator Carey has introduced a joint
resolution ill the interest of certain
settlers in Oklahoma and to validate
their homestead claims. The art of
March'.'. I*8'. , opening old < lUlahoma,
has been construed by the secretary of
the interior to disbar a*> illegal claim-
ants all persons who in preparing to
make ;i run for homestead locations
crossed any portion of the reserved
territory and took up a position on the
boundary. They are declared under
present department rulings to have
been sooner*.
Senator Carey's resolution declares
it was not the intent of congress to
disqualify those who traveled through
the territory on the public highways
in preparing to make the race.
The object of the said proviso is de-
clared to ! «• only to clear the territory
of settlers until it should be opened,
and require them all tt) start from the
outside of the territory at the same
time in their search for land.

Secretary of the Interior Smith was in
consultation this morning with Attor-
ney iGeneral Olney over the opinion
which is to be rendered from his de-
partment on the claim of the Chicka-
saw and Choctaw nations to the
Comanche, Apache anil Kiowa lands.
While tnc formal opinion has not been
written out in the department of
justice, it is understood that the de-
partment of the interior will never ap-
prove another such double payment
on the same land as was made by the
• -ongress in consideration of a claim
for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands
The ceretary of the interior is un-
alterably opposed to buying the same
l.md t \ ice and if it is discovered that
the claimants have any interest in the
lands they will be given their propor-
tionate share of the whole amount
paid.

ICi. Uk.no, Ok., April 20.—Senators
Teller, Koach and IMatt stopped over
on their return trip to Washington
Wednesday to view the beauties of El
Keno, Senator Teller expressed con-
fidence in the early passage of the
ratification of the Kiowa, Comanche
and \N ichita treaties, and an enabling
act for the admission of Oklahoma as
a state, lie takes a great interest in
the statehood of all the western terri-
tories. remarking that he had resided
in the territory of Colorado for sixteen
years and knew the disadvantages en-
countered by territorial governments.
No objection, he said, had been urged
against the statehood bills, except
that emanating from the territorial
officials, and it was easy to discern,
and the senators and members of con-
gress were not protecting the jobs of a
t' \\ officials Oklahoma would have
his support for immediate statehood.
• Whether it is democratic or republi-
can, it will be a western state, and
that is all I care for," he said.
The si nators were very much pleased
with their trip through the Indian
'I erritory and are firm in their belief
that the form of government must
ehanire in that country, and if not at-
tached to Oklahoma as one state, will
be given a tenitorial form of govern-
ment. but their impression was that at
least part ot it would be attached to
the state "f Oklahoma.
After viewing our city they left on
the afternoon train for Washington.

Monday morning a body of men sup-
posed to be vigilants surrounded the
ranch of Ilruce Miller, in the Creek
country, twenty miles east, at dawn.
As \1 Miller, a brother to Uruce, and
a hired hand, "Dutch'" .lohn, appeared
at the door, they were tired on.
Dutch' .John was killed by a Win-
chester ball, which passed through
him and wounded a small child of
Uruce Miller's in the shoulder. The
Miller boys were besieged all day Mon-
day aud Tuesday in the ranch build-
ings, with the body of • Dutch" John
lying in the yard. They escaped dur-
ing the storm of Tuesday night, their
wives bringing their horses to the
door and they breaking through the
line. In Ingalls, in l'aynecounty, the
Miller boys are accused of being horse
thieves and desperadoes. They were
warned last week to leave the house,
and all the ranch buildings were
burned. "Dutch" John is a supposed
horse thief and outlaw.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
TEniiintRlAL OUT LA IF.S.
It seems strange that somecombina-
uation is not formed between the dif-
ferent railroad and express companies
and the I nited States marshal's ottice
for the suppression of the numerous
gangs of outlaws that infest the ter.
ritory. It seems as thougii it would
pay simply as a business proposition
The losses of the railroad and express
companies alone in the hold ups ought
to make it very desirable for such that
the outlawry now going on be checked.
If a few successful raids were made it
would have u healthy influence. The
fact of the matter is that train hold-
ing up has been so successful that a
child might now stop a train and make
the crew and all the passengers hold
up their hands. No one hardly ever
thinks of resisting. It is conceded to
be useless, because every prior hold up
proved in favor of the robbers and it
is granted that it can't be otherwise.
The deputy marshals of the terri-
tory all state that if there was a sure
reward for any of the men and it was
large enough the outlaws could bl
caught, ltut as it is now the mar-
shal or possse of them that wot|Mf go
out must do so at their own expense
with no surety of a reward. If they
do not succeed it's all loss: if they do
succeed they arc not sure that the re-
ward will be gotten.
Were a few of the outlaws worsted
it would have a salutary influence on
the future actions of other ambitious
would-be Daltons. I Sat as long as
they have a clean walk-away and get
the best of it every time they come in
conflict with any resistance, any petty
larceny thief that is placed in jail for
chicken theft will consider himself as
an outlaw and go on the road as an in-
timidator of the public—and, in the
absence of knowing whether he would
shoot or not if pinched, will succeed
iu holding people and trains up just as
well as though he were really «juite a
bad man.
It seems Mr. Cleveland has weak-
ened on the seigniorage bill.

of destiny to a man of fatuity.

Small Jerry Simpson is nowhere in
Washington. When it comes to "facts

Om: of the signs that Oklahoma is a
healthy country is the fact that an
outlaw is usually killed five or six
times before he is really dead.
It is not one of his western lies that

I f Coxey's army was in Oklahoma its

nice dewy mornings and eat mush-
rooms—that is, providing somebody
were kind enough to gather them for
them.
It is said thnt since the Pawnees
have taken to the Keeley cure Major
Gordon will no longer wear the appel-
lation of "Pawnee Hill." He does not
prop jse to wear the badge of a degen
erat. nation that has let loose of noble
Auditions of fire water.
' Tubkk is but one thing lacking now
in the Pollard-Hreckinridge case, and
that is for the usual christian senti-
inentalism to take "Brother" Hreckin-
i ridge up and lift him out of his sin. If
he will but state that he repents of
his sin (he needn't quit it) he can en-
list the church in his future political
i welfare any time he wants to.
Why couldn't the men who are being
1 fed by the general public on their road
to Washington, wheie they will ask
that the government give them a
chance to build public roads, have
stayed at home and worked the roads.
The food now given them would have
sustained them in such a task just as
i well.

Wichita, Kan , April 20.—The Na-
tional Grain congress, which has been
in seftft.n here during the past two
days, adjourned last evening to meet
again at New Orleans the second Tues-
day in June. The next annual meeting
will be held at Mobile, Ala , next
April.
Strong resolutions Wf- passed
throwing oft' the yoke of east and
advocating the closest commercial re-
lations between the west and south;
favorin the completion of the Nicara-
gua canal and its absolute control by
the I nited States; urging the lines of
railroad from the west to the south
to compete for the currying of the
grain of the west to southern ports,
and pledging the support of such sec-
tions to such corporations; demand-
ing the rapid completion of the river
and harbor improvements now in
progress, and calling upon congress to
establish fast mail servicc between th *
west and gulf ports to facilitate an l
expedite trade relations between the
♦ wo sections.
The result of the deliberations of the
congress was so satisfactory to the rep-
resentatives of the west and south that
the meeting ended in a great love feast
\notlier Strike of Petroleum .Made S«ar
>'h idoilut, Kan.
Neodksha. Ivan., April *20.—Another
great strike of petroleum was made
yesterday one-fourth of a mile east of
this city. At a depth of 850 feet, the
most productive strata of oil sand yet
fount! in this region was penetrated,
and Vie well has been flowing at tihort
intervals for the past ten hours, the
pure petroleum running in a six-inch
stream for fifteen or twenty minutes at
a time. This well has not .vet been
shot, but its yield is almost as great as
some that have been. It is estimated
that after being shot this well will
yield 301 barrels per day. This makes
thirty-four stroug oil wells within a
radius of five miles of Neodesha.
