season the cotton buyers in the city-
say that over 12,000 bales of cotton
will be marketed in this city alone.
And if we should nave seasonable

may be more than doubled. All other

at Shawnee and those at Chickasha
would be consolidated at El Retio. but

are jubilant. They have cause to be

Statements were made to the coron-

es at the inquest, that the captain of

Tangier, June
Tori.--, representative of th
of Morocco has caused the arrest of
Sheiks Benlm and Sahuer, as demand-
ed by Rasilul. The amount of the
ransom demanded by the bandit rhiet
for the release of Perdicaris and Var-
ley Is ready. Raisuli's answer is ex-
pected at the end of the week.
News has been sent to Raisuli
through the shereef of Ha/./.an that
all his demands have been complied
with. The authorities hope that the
landing of some Moorish troops here
yesterday will not upset the arrange-
ments and this is now the only thing
which threatens difficulties. As stat-
ed in these dispatches yesterday,
these troops are of the worst type, and
though they were ostensibly sent by
tbe sultan for the protection of Euro
peans, the residents of the city con-
tinue uneasy because the troops have
no discipline whatever and endanger
life and property.
A British s«amer is momentarily
expected with e remainder of Rai-
any other point. The Santa Fe had
made arrangements to build great
shops at Shawnee; it needs them
there, and the Shawnee shops of the
Rock Island are a white elephant on
the hands of the company. It was on-
ly natural and business for the com-
panies to agree to the transfer to the
Santa Fe.
It is also rumored on the streets
today that Oklahoma City has offer-
ed the Rock Island a bonus of $100,-
000 to locate its shops at that place.
The natural, logical location of these
shops is in El Reno. This city is the
center of the company's vast interests
in the southwest and proper interest
and effort upon the part of the people
of El Reno will hasten the plans of
the Rock Island to make El Reno the
seat of the greatest machine shops
and car shops west of the Missouri
river. It may cost the city some
money, but it will make El Reno the
metropolis of Oklahoma

addition to the three national banks

London. June 16.—A dispatch to the
Central News from Tokio, filed Wed-

gagement was then in progress off
Psusehima island in the Korean
strait between three Russian cruisers
which escaped from Vladivostok and
a number of Japanese ships. No de-
tails have been received yet.
The Central News dispatch adds
that the Vladivostok squadron was
first reported June 14, from Oki is-
land, off Kioto, Japan, in the sea of
Japan. Later in the day cannonading
was heard northwest of Nagato, on
