CONTESTED LAND,
Interior Department is Busy With Ok-
lahoma Land Decisions.
SEVERAL FINAL DECISIONS,
Wercll Kal/.er and Jolin Carpenter'* Mo-
tlous for Review Denied—Kern's
Motlou Also denied — Opinion*
of i lie Secretary.
Washington, Oct. 18.—[Special from
Thk Static Capital's Bureau, 610
Fourteenth strict.. N. W.|—Oct 21.—
The Interior department is still busy
cleaning its docket of contested land
cases in Oklahoma territory. Four de-
cisions were handed down today,
They are as follows:
Maurice Kaizer or Wercll Kaiger,
through his attorneys, tiled a motion
for review of the dep irtmental decis-
ion of June 17, 1807, which affirmed
the action of the general land office in
holding his homestead entry for the
northeast quarter of section 21, town-
ship 29, north, range 5, west, Enid
land district, Oklahoma, subject to
preference right of Edward V. Ilebb
to enter said land.
An examination of the specifications
of appeal contained in said motion
shows them to be substantially the
same as those alleged and considered
on appeal when previously before the
department. No valid reason appeals
why the former decision of the depart-
ment should be disturbed and the sec-
retary accordingly denied the motion
for review.
The departmen has also denied the
motion for review filed by John Car-
penter, through his atterney, of the
departmental decision of July 27, 1897,
confirming the action of the general
land office in holding for cancellation
his homestead entry for the northeast
quarter of section 24, township
north, range 1, west, Perry land dis-
trict, and rewarding preference right
to enter said settlement to Clarence R.
Young It was held in the decision
complained of that the prohibition
against entering the Cherokee Outlet,
where the controversy is situated, be-
gan to run from the date of the proc-
lamation on August 19, 1893, opening
said land to settlement and entry. It
is not contended in the in )tion for re-
view that the act of March 3, 1893,
authorizing the opening of the Cher
kee Outlet, should be construed as
being in pari materia with the several
acts specified in section 10 of said act,
especially the act of March 21, 1889.
It is claimed that under such con
structlou Young would be disqualified
by reasin of his admitting his pres
en< e in the Outlet during the month
of .Inly.
somewhat in doubt, but that the cjn-
testant Samuel P. Kern having placed
his alleged superior right to the land
upon sin-h priority, the harden of the
proof was upou him.ar.d having failed
t - pr )v.> his a! legations "by KO DO pre
ponderence of the testimony" his case
must fall and Heck's entry be made in-
tact.
The secretary also denied the mo-
tion for review of the departmental
decision of January 80, 1807, filed by
counsel for the defendant Otho M.
Cole. This was a contest between
William Shaffer, Elizah Oreweock and
Otho M. Cole for the sw l4 of sec. 34,

the Iowa reservation thrown open to
settlement on September 22, 1891.

Washington, Oct. 21.—[Special.]—
There are no new developments in the
marshalship. The game seems to be
waiting. Strong telegrams are still
pouring in favoring Thompson. The
president and attorney general are too
busy to see callers. A. C. Scott is dis-
satisfied with the outlook for his
judgeship. The situation is very
feverish. Powerful influences have
been brought to bear on the opposi-
tion to llainer's appointment, which
has had a qtiieting effect. It now
seem3 probable that an open fight on
him will be avoided

There have been various railroad
propositions made to Guthrie, but
the most of them had nothing but at-
mosphere behind them. Now we have
a proposition that is based upon actual
work begun. Col. E. 11. Brown, Mr.
Nelson and Mr. Palmor, who have two
million acres of Creek coal lands
leased, have eleven miles graded and
twenty miles contracted of a railroad
from Red Fork on the Frisco roud
headed towards Guthrie ami the money
in the bank to pay for all of it.
Mr. Brown's proposition is to bring
the road to Guthrie for $50,000 in bank-
able notes, payable thirty days after
the road is built and running into
Guthrie, and the right of way from
the Creek line to Guthrie and terminal
grounds here.
There is business sense in this pro-
position. Surely the people of Guthrie
wili not hesitate to accept it Mr.
Brown gives us until tne 30th of this
month to get these notes signed and
properly secured and on that day will
be here to sign a contract on behalf of
the company to build this road to
Guthrie. Mr. Brown expects to get
this road here by next spring or sum-
mer; that is to build it as rapidly as
possible, without any intermissions
whatever.

Nothing can be lost on this proposi-
tion. The building of this road will
be wortb 81,000,000 to this town. It
will cost us nothing if the road is not
built here. If the road does not come
we do not pay. There should be no
hesitancy on the part of any citizen in
agreeing to pay what he can cons st-
ently and without personal embarrass-
ment, towards securing Guthrie this
road. It is the only proposition we
have had with anything certainly
behind it.
Mr. Brown expects to have his grad-
ing completed to the Oklahoma line
within the next two or three weeks,
and wants to know before he reaches
the line whether he is coming to Guth-
rie or not.

The good of this road is not in se-

nect us with the great Creek coal beds,
fine surface coal of excellent qualP.y,
which can be loaded on the cars for 60
cents a ton and retailed in Guthrie at
82.50 a ton. This gives us an oppor-
tunity to make a manufacturing city
here, and to do so is to outstrip all
other towns in the territory.

Washington, Oct. 21.—So many in-
complete or incorrect versions of Sec-
retary Gage's financial plan have oc-
curred in the newspapers from time to
time that a correspondent has taken
pains to ascertain the exact tenor of it.
\\ hatever changes may have come over
the secretary's mind in the interval,
neither lie nor anyone in his In-half
will deny the substantial correctness
of this summary of the proposal he
submitted to his friends last summer:
1. The Issue of t-'nld bonds, redeemable at the
opt Ion (if the Koverntncut after and within N)
years, bearing lnterent at the rut" of -4 per
rent.: these hotiils to ho used for refunding the
whole present bonded debt of the United States
as far as praciicubie by exchanging them for
outstanding bonds of any issue <m an equitable
basis as to Interest: also tSOO.OJO.oOO of them to
bo sold for cash.
The establishment of a separate bureau in
the treasury, to be d.-voted tand entitled "Is-
sue and redemption : " a fun I of >a2\0.)0,0<W of
gold to lie deposite I in this bur-au. made up of
I in1 gold already on hand In the treasury, sup-
plemented by the proceeds of th • bond sales
just provided for: the bureau to redeem out-
standing paper money when offered for that
purpose, but to disburse none of this pup r
money iu turn except iu cxchumre for gold.
•H. The extension of tie* national banking sys-
tem. sous to permit the organization of limits
with only 2ft,0(M capital in towns of 4 0J0 In-
habitants or less; the repeal of all the tax on
bank circulation, except such amount as may
be necessary to pay the cost of supervising the
system, and creating a safety fund of *51) 0,000,
which need taice only two or three years; au-
thority to the bunks to deposit the 2'- percent,
refunding bonds and Issue notes up to their
pur valuo, llrst to the extent of each bank's
capital, and then to 25 per cent, above that, the
g iverntnent securing itself by its llrst lien on
all tie- ussets of u bank, by a redemption fund
of io per cent., kept constantly on deposit as
lh<- p r cent fund and is kept ii'>w. and tlnal-
ly. by the safety fund already meution*-d: pro-
vision for the redemption of all notes in New
York und in other reserve cities if desired: and
the restriction of bank notes to denominations
of *10 and upwards, with discretion vested in
the secretary of the treasury to issue silver
certiilcutes and ull governm -nt notes, except
ones, twos. Ave und higher denominations, as
his best judgment ma dictate.
This is the basis of Mr. Gage's plan.
In defense of it he stands ready to show
that the present annual interest charge
of £85,000,000 on the bonded debt of the
I'nited States would be reduced to£:>0,-
000,000, in spite of the increase in the
volume of bonds as proposed in the
first paragraph. The outstanding tie-
mand liabilities of the government,
including all forms of notes and cer-
tificates, now amounting to $842,000,-
000, would, the secretary thinks,
through the redemption conducted
by the issue and redemption bu-
reau. with the 8200,000.000 of gold
received from the sale of bonds, be re-
duced to8042,000,000,and the 125.000,000
of gold held against this would amount
to about 20 per cent. Finally, the in-
crease in bank note circulation would
fill in the gap caused by the redemp-
tion of $200,000,000 of the various forms
of government paper money. Assum-
ing that the banks would take advan-
tage of the extended opportunity for
issue and adding 822,500.000 for the
10 percent, margin now idle, and $112,-
000,000 for the 25 per cent, of excess,
there would be a total increase of
81^4,500,000 in the paper currency
afloat. The restriction of the bank is-
sues to notes for 810 and over is intend-
ed to give the government a monopoly
of the issue of the small money used
by the mass of the people in theirdaily
hand-to-hand transactions. The idea
of entirely withdrawing the green-
backs from circulation, Mr. Gage con-
fesses, he has abandoned, not because
he does not believe in it. but because
he considers the scheme politically in-
advisable.

that spiritualists would put mission-

Ci.arkfif.i.d, Minn., Oct. 21. —a large
barn belonging to Robert Herg, near
Can ley Falls, was destroyed by fire.
While workmen were engaged in clear-
ing away the debris, the remains of
four human beings were found, but so
badly burned that they fell to pieces
us soon as disturbed. The victims are
supposed to be tramps who had been
sleeping in the hayloft. The fire was

Conviction tin i Four Avalnst.
Chicago, Oct. 21. -After being out
for 40 hours the 12 men on the Luet-
gert jury stood: For conviction and
the dentil penalty, Hoyd, Heickhold,
liibby, Mahoney, Hosiner, Shaw, Fran-
zen and Fowler; for acquittal, Rarber,
Holabird, Hurley and Rehmiller. The
minority have argued since the begin-
ning that there had been an element of
, doubt and they were bound under the
' instructions of the court to give Luet-
gert the benefit of it. For that reason
alone it is said these jurors east their
votes for acquittal. Harley is a Ger-
