I.ondom, Aug. 2 —The Daily Mail
published a dispatch from its Vienna
correspondent, who boarded the Ori-
ent express and interviewed M. Cons-
tuns as to the France.Turkish diplo-
matic situation
"The French ambassador declared,
snys the correspon lent, "that even at
the last hour the sultan tried to pre-
varicate. lie asserted that the whole
matter was now in the bands of the
French government."
"Any other than inexorable at ti-
tude,'continued M. Con ta s, 'would

Co.NsTANTivoi i.it, Tuesday, Aug J".
The French Hag was hauled down from
over the ambassy of France after the
departure of the ambassador M. Cons- 1
taic. and it will not be hoi«ted again
until diplomatic relations are restored.
The stall of the ambassy remains here,
but there ia no charge d'affaires The
French consuls in Turkey have been
directed to continue to protect French
interests. Besides the stated causes
of the disagreement, it is pointed out
thai constant difficulties were pla.'ed
in the way of the French commercial
interests in Turkey which contributed
to M. Constans' resolution. All th-
embassies complain of vexatious int
ference with trade
Committee! from the Odd Fellows
and Knights of Pythias lodges are at
work 011 a proposition submitted a few
days ago by F. J. Wikoff and U. G.
Norris to build and own a third story
on the double building they are com-
mencing on the corner of Seventh and
Main south of Morrison's department
store. Mr. Norris will build SO feet
deep, and Mr. W'ikoff's building will
be 100. This will give space for a
toon. 50x80 with an annex 20x26 for a
lodge hall and will make one of the
finest fraternal order homes in the
southwest.
'Ihe outlook for the consumation of
the deal is bright and the assurances
frtnn members of both orders are very
encouraging, and unless some unfor-
seen obstacle presents itself to prevent
these lodges will soon have a beauti-
ful and permanent home.
The building of the third story onto
the WikofT-Xorris building will add
much to the appearance of that part of
town.
Thwing to Succeed Wikoff
The I>aily Leader of last evening
gives out the following piece of news,
regarding the office of territorial bank
commissioner:
It is said that F. H Thwing of Okla-
J , hoiua Citjr, has received assurance from
what | ('OVPrnor Jenkins that he will be ap-
pointed territorial bank commissioner
to succeed Frank WikofT whose resig-
nation beco nes effective Sept. 1.

being the first man allowed t. make
lu^ selection of a homestead and who
further distinguished himself by locat-
ing across the two choicest quarter
suctions next to Lawton, will, in all
probability, be compelled to defend
his claim in u land office contest. The
mutter has not been finally acted upon '
by the interior department, and the
case is treated with the usual reticence |
that characterise* all transactions of
the kind in the department, but it is
well understood that the commission-
er of the general land office nothing
definite will be known, but the con
test of J. L. Calvert against Woods
which will send the case for trial to
the local laud office at Lawton.
It is understood that the ground of
contest is bad faith on the pirt of
^oods, and taking the land for specu-
lative purposes. Whether this is the
precise ground or not, the fact remains
th.it the land office regards the contest
of sufficient im|K>rta "e to pass it over
to Acting Secretary Ryan with the
opinion that the complainant is enti-
tled to open contest in the local land
The cato had not reached Judge Ny-
lin when the department closed and
until he approve « or overrule* the gen-
good claim from now on. After
the lir*t 2,500 filings there will scarcely
! lie a first-class 100 acres left iti the
I southeast part of the district along
Little Beaver and Cache creeks, which
■ has been the much coveted section
since the lir-t few hundred filings on
claims close to Lawton. Locators are
scouring the southeast for every avail-
| able quarter for their clients, that may
have been overlooked in the scramble.
The sale of Lawton residence town lots
is now in the second tier from the
north side of the town, most of them
averaging a quarter of a mile from the
ennter, and the prices paid range from
♦ 125 to <300 per lot.
Was Not Killed.
Keport was current here a few days
ago that Hubert T. I'ayne, of this city,
had been killed by falling through 11
bridge with a traction engine near
Wilson, Kansas. Ilis father here im-
mediately wired the city marshal at
Wilson to ascertain the facts in the
case and received a telegram yesterday
stating that the boy was all right.
The telegram lifted a great load of
anxiety from off the members of his
family and rejoiced his friends here.
A letter from him Thursday further
set their minds at ease in the matter. \

Married, Frame-Dungan.
Mr. Geo. G Frame, a prominent
farmer living two miles north of Per-
kins and Lucy W. Dungan. of this
piece, were married at 4:30 o'clock
Thursday afternoon at the M. E. par-
sonage by Kev. A. E.' DuBois. Both of
these parties are well and favorably
known here and nt Perkins and their
many friends join in wishing them a
long life of happiness and prosperity.
