Gainesville, Tex., Jan. 19.—'The
boomers are pouring into Oklahoma by
the hundreds. Within tho past three
. or four days about COO wagons, some
of them coming from a great distance
and from every direction, have crossed
the Canadian rivor on their way to the
coveted lands. The heavy rain* the
the early part of this weok have caused
the Canadian river to be very much
swollen so that teams can't ford, and
this has caused a temporary stoppage
of tho influx of immigrants into Okla-
homa from that quarter. Yesterday
there were more than a hundred fami-
lies camped in the vicinity of Purcell
waiting for tho water to subside so they
could cross tho river, and to-day the
number was increased by nearly as
many more. Tho movers are eq nipped
with tents and movable houses and an-
nounce their purpose of going into th<
territory to stay. They say, however,
that if they aro driven out they will
camp on the lino and bo ready to re-
enter just as soon as tho inhibition b
reraovt d. Thus far thero is no indica
tlon of any purpose on the part of the
?government eitlu

going into the territory or to

Owing to tho lack of a quorum the
house committee on for ign affairs
was not ablo to-day to consider the
Edmunds resolution relative to Ameri-
can participation in the construction

mittee to which the matter was refor-
med has agreed to recommend tho

A copy of a dispatch from Sail Fran-
cisco to-day in regard to insults to
Americans and the American flag at
Samoa, by German soldiers, was shown
to Secretary Bayard this evening. He
said the disturbance referred to was
undoubtedly the samo as that briefly
described by Consul Blacklock in his
cable message to the state department
on .the 5th instant. Tho cousul's ac-
count, he said, was not near so sensa-
tional as the ono just received from
San Francisco but contained later in-
formation, as it told that the Ameri-
cans who were seized had been re-
leased immediately afterward. The
seirelary added that the department
is in constant communication with
Samoa through its (.gents, one of
whom is stationed at Auckland, and
that the last advices received are to
the effect that tho affairs aro quiet in
that country, and no serious trouble
has occurred sinco the 5th instant.
i immigration restriction.
' Tho Ford committee on immigration
iu its report says: Generally speak-
ing, tho class of immigrants who havo
lately b en imported and e nployed in
tho coal regions of this country are not
such, in the opinion of the committee,
as would make desirable residents of
the United States. They do not come
with the intention of becoming citizens,
their whole purpose being to accuinu
lato by parsimonious, rigid and un-
healthy economy, a sum of money and
then return to their native land.
They livo in miserable sheds, like
beasts. The food they eat is so mea-
ger, scant, unwholesome and revolting
that it would disgust an American
workingman and lie would find it diffi-
cult to sustain life upon it. Their hab-
its are vicious and tho cfi'ect of their
presence upon our social condi ion is
to bo deplored. They have not the in-
fluences, as we understand thom, of
tiome; they do not know what tho word
means. In tho opinion of the commi •
toe no amount of effort would improve
their mo als or Americanize this class
of immigrants. Ticy havo been
brought here in such numbers and have
been employed at such low wages that
it has resulted in their replacing the
American citizens who formerly per-
formed this class of labor, until now
there are comparatively few Americans
employed in mining coal. In conclu-
sion the commltteo says: "Certainly
tho effect of tho present unrestricted
system of immigration, as applicable
to the conditions under consideration
upon tho industrial situation of this
country has been very bad and the
committee believes the time has come
when immigration should be moro ef-
foctivo'y regulated, that persons who
immigrate to the United States should
:vt least be those wtio in good faith de-
sire to become its citizens and aro
worthy to bo such."

There is on the liouso calendar a
measure of considerable importance to
Texas, providing for tho leasing of
mining lands in the Indian territory.
Until the beginning of tho present ad-
ministration it was the practico of the
interior department to approve such
leases when it was made apparent
that tho interests of tho Indians own-
ing tho lands were fully protected.
Since President Cleveland assumed
power the department has taken an
opposite view of tho subject, however,
as the attorney general. hold that "tho

not such as may properly recoivo tho
approval of the department under

There are now fourteen leases for
