The Situation In Turkey.
Constantinople, Dec. 3.—The gen-
eral situation here has not changed
since Saturday, but it is now apparent
that a change is about to take place.
The representatives of the powers,
some of whom have been await*
ing instructions from their gov-
ernments in regard to the matter of
putting additional guard boats in the
liosphorus seem now to be unanimous
in their insistence upon the issuance
of permits for the admission of these
boats by the sulian. The ambassadors
will hold a meeting to-day to consider
the situation as presented by the re-
fusal to permit the passage of the ad-
ditional boats through the straits and
decide upon a concerted plan of action.
Anxiety \ bout Missionaries.
London, Dec.3. -Great anxiety is felt
for the safety of Raptist missionaries
in the provinces of Shenhi, China. No
news of them has been received since
August. The latest report from them
stated that the Mohammedan rebels
had captured the city of See Ngan, the
capital of the province, and murdered
large numbers of men, women and
children.
A MUalle Thrown at the C zar.
London, Dec. 3.—The Central News
correspondent in Vienna says: A re-
port is in circulation there that a pro-
jectile was thrown at the czar in St.
Petersburg to-day. The missile grazed
his majesty's cloak and fell harmlessly
to the ground. No one was injured.
The report says that fourteen,arrests
have been made in connection with the
affair. Confirmation of the rumor is
lack ing.

Goldsmith, of New York, 050 head of
fancy export leef cattle at 4 cents a
pound. The cattle will average nearly
1,600 pounds, and bring about $05 a
head, making the purchase money ag-
gregate nearly 845.000. This is one of
the largest single deals of beeves ever
made in this state. The cattle have
been fattened in blue grass pastures,
with finishing touches put on with
corn. They will be shipped to En-
gland, via Newport News, and are in-
tended for the Christmas market in the
old country.

Conference lil«> p:>oliitlnff le
Its Projectors.
Washington, Dec. 2.—Promptly at
tioon to-clav loth houses of the Fifty-
fourth congress were called to order,
the house by Clerk Kerr aud the senate
by Vice President Stevenson. The
galleries and corridors outside were
erowded. The crowds at the capitol
came through drizzling rain, mist and
mud, in all sorts of conveyances and
in long lines afoot, pouring through
the many entrances, choking the cor-
ridors and elevators and besieging the
galleries far beyond their capacity. All
were orderly and the largely augment-
ed force of officers had little trouble
in preventing confusion. By 10:30
o'clock, an hour and a half before the
time of meeting, the public galleries
in both houses were filled and an eager
crowd overflowed into the outer corri-
dors. Many ladies were in the throng,
but there was a noticeable lack of the
color and fair weather costumes which
usually give a touch of brightness to
the chambers.
In the new house the republicans
control thirty-one of the forty-four
§.tate delegations, which will insure to
them the next presidency should the
election be thrown into the house. They
have twenty solid delegations while
the democrats have but four.
As the hands of the clock opposite
the speaker's desk pointed at 12, Col.
"Ike" Hill, the deputy serjeant-at-
arms, lifted into its place on the green
pedestal alongside the rostrum the
ebony eagle-surmounted mace, the
emblem of the house's authority, the
flag above the house was run up and
Clerk Kerr called the Fifty-fourth
house of representatives to order.
A hush immediately fell upon the
assembly and Rev. Rugby of this
city, the chaplain of the last house, of-
fered the invocation.
Under the direction of Mr. Kerr, the
roll of members elected to the Fifty-
fourth house was called. Mr. Kerr an-
nounced that 341 of r 350 members
were present, nnd nl>o that no creden-
tials had been receiw.l from the Tenth
New York and the First Nevada dis-
tricts.
Mr. Kerr then calle I for nom nations
for speaker. No s; eeehes were m tde
and Mr. Reed, re pit lie. n, of Maine,
was electe I speaker < f t he house by a
vote of '234 against 95 for Mr. Crisp,
democrat. <>f G or i ;: 0 for Mr. Bell,
populist, of * olora io, and 1 for Mr.
Culberson, democrat, of Texas.
Without a roll call, the officers of the
house nominated by the republicans
in caucus Saturday were then formally
elected, the democrats presenting the
names of the officers of the last house.
The swearing in of these followed:
Alexander B. McDowell, of Pennsyl-
vania, as clerk; B. F. Russell, of Mis-
souri, as serireant-at-arms; William B.
Glenn, of New York, as doorkeeper;
Joseph B. McElroy, of Ohio, as post-
master, and Henry B. Couden, of Mich-
igan, as chaplain.
The decorum of the upper branch of
congress is seldom disturbed even by
the opening of congress, and with
crowded galleries there was the same
quiet which characterizes that body.
All of the galleries, public and private,
except that reserved for the diplo-
matic Corps, were filled to overflowing
by 11 o'clock and the outer corridors
were erowded with those unable to
gain admission.
Senators began to gather early, ex-
changing greetings and renewing ac-
quaintances Mr. Jones, of Arkansas,
and Mr. Teller, of Colorado, were
among the tirst arrivals. They were
soon joined by the venerable Mr. Hoar,
of Massachusetts, and his colleague,
Mr. Lodge. Mr. Peffer and Mr. Allen
showed special attention to the acqui-
sitions to the populist senatorial ranks.
Mr. Martiu, of Virginia, was intro-
duced to his s|H<toel<ite4 by Mr. Daniel.
Mr. Sherman crossed the chamber and
greeted his Ohio associate, Mr. Brlce,
who was in a group With Messrs. Gor-
man, Cockrell and Harris.
The chance in th • appearance of the
senate chamber wa quite as great as
in the personnel of lie senate. Proba-
bly the most str'k ig change in the
furnishings of ,'itic o i; n'>er was that

son, designed by James Voorhees, of
Washington, and the other of Millard
Filmore by Robert M. Cushing, of New
York, which had to be put in place
since Inst March.
The silver conference called for to-
day was a disappointment to its project-
ors. The only senators who attended
were Allen, Kyle, Pelfer and Stewart,
populists; Tillman, democrat, and
Pritchard, Mantle and Teller, repub-
licans. The last named were only
there a few moments and took no part
in the proceedings. The small attend-
ance showed those present that noth-
ing could be done at this meeting.
Senator PefTer was of the opinion
that the party ties were too strong to
hope to organize a silver party in the
senate, while Senator Allen said that
he hoped something might come from
this preliminary meeting.

Qot. Renfrow Makes Ills Report on tho
Trogress of the Territory—Delegate
Flynn to Introduce a Hill for
Homesteads In Oklahoma.
Washington, Dec. 1.—There is a
prospect of serious trouble in the Cher-
okee strip on January 1, 1800. The
Dawes commission in its report sounds
the warning note. The cause which
may bring a conflict is the way in
which what is known as the ''intrud-
ers' roll" is being manipulated. The
"intruders* roll" is tho list of persons
whose claims to citizenship is denied
by the nation, and who, by the agree-
ment in the purchase of the Cherokee
strip, the United States is to
remove from the territory by
January 1. The language of the com-
missioners' report on this matter is very
strong. Here is a paragraph: "This
roll is now being prepared for that
purpose by the Cherokee authorities in
a manner most surprising and shock-
ing to every sense of justice and in
disregard of the plainest principles e>f
law. The chief assumes to have au-
thority to designate the names to be
put upon the intruders'roll, and names
are, by his order, without hearing or
notice, transferred from the citizens'
roll to that of Intruders, and on Jan-
uary 1, 1890, the United States will be
called upon to remove from the terri-
tory, by force if need be, thousands of
residents substantially selected for
that purpose by the chief of the na-
tion."
The commission is of the opinion
that if citizenship is left without con-
trol or supervision to the absolute de-
termination of the tribal authorities,
with power to decitizenize at will, the
greatest injustice will be perpetrated,
and many good and law-abiding citi-
zens reduced to beggary.
Speaking of the courts in tho na-
tions, the commission says: "Their
courts of justice have ' ecotne power-
less and paralyzed. Violence, robbery
and murder have become almost of
daily occurrence, and no effective
measures of restraint or punishment
are put forth by these governments
and courts to suppress crime. Railroad
trains continue to be stopped and their
passengers robbed in the very presence
of those In authority. A reign of ter-
ror exists and barbarous outrages al-
most impossible of belief arc enacted,
and the perpetrators hardly find it
necessary to shun daily intercourse
with their victims."
Since the last adjournment of con-
gress there have been 257 murders. In
addition to the statistics of prevalent
crime taken from judicial records and
other authentic sources, there is equal-
ly clear evidence of or anized force in
active operation intim dating and put-
tin? in peril witnesses who appear iu
court to testify for tho government in
these cases.
Condition of Oklahoma.
Washington, Dec. 1.—Gov. William
C. Renfrow, in his report on the condi-
tion and progress of the territory of
Oklahoma for the IKcal year ended
June 30, 1805. shows that the taxable
property in the territory has increased
from ail).047,923.80 in is94 to 339,375,-
189.21 in 1895. He anticipates a great
increase next year in real estate, as
many farmers are making final proof
on their claims.
Education has received much atten-
tion ironi tnc poopie, ana an excellent
system of public schools has been es-
tablished. The university is prosper-
ing, and has an attendance of 190. The
agricultural college is doing good work,
and has an attendance of 143. Tho
normal school is efficient in its work,
and has an attendance of 101 students.
The report respecting the leasing of
school, college ami public building
lands is very satisfactory, and shows
the net proceeds for the year to have
been $88,027.97. The governor asks
that all the public lands in the terri-
tory, not filed on at this time, be do-
nated to the territory for the use and
benefit of public schools.
Delegate Flynn'* Land Helieme.
Washington, Dec. 1. — Delegate
Flynn, of Oklahoma will early intro-
duce into the house a bill intended to
make easy the gaining of homes in Ok-
lahoma territory. It is to be known
as the homestead land bill, and its
purpose is to give homestead residents
to actual settlers in Oklahoma upon
the basis that such land is given to
homestead settlers in other portious of
the public domain. As is generally
known, heretofore all of this Indian
territory land, which comprises the
territory of Oidahoma, has not only
been governed by homestead laws, but
even actual settlers have been com-
pelled at the end of Ave years to pay
from SI to 81.50 per acre for their land.
The bill will give homesteaders the
right to obtain their land under tho
usual homestead qualifications.
ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS.
Six Hundred Arrived at New Orleans for a
Colony In Arkansas.
New Orleans, Dec. 1.—The French
steamer Chateau Ygen arrived here
yesterday from Genoa, Italy, with 000
Italians for Austin Corbin's colony in
Arkansas. The immigrants are e>f a
better class than a majority of tho
Italians coming to this country, and
have purchased farms in a large tract
of land belonging to Austin Corbin on
the Mississippi. If the first colony is
a success others will follow, and it is
hoped to establish a large white im-
migration into the alluvial lands of
Arkansas and Mississippi, where a ma-
jority of the population is colored.

Forger Ward Caught on a Steamer.
Washington, Dec. 3.—The state de-

bezzler, was arrested on board a
steamer at Livingston, Guatemala, by
tho Memphis police officer who had
been in pursuit, and started iminedi*
ately on the steamer for New Orleans.
Oklahoma Wheat Prospects Good.
Hennessey, Ok., Dec. 3.—Tho past
month has been very favorable for
wheat, and from present appearances
there is no reason why tho immense
crop of 1894 should not be equaled, if
not exceeded next year. There will yet
be a great deal sowed if the weather
permits.
A Good lleneflt for the Wallors.
Washington, Dec. 3.—A brilliant en-

was filled and a comfortable sum was
realized.
