Washington, Nov. 5.—United SUtes
Indian Agent Shoenfelt, in charge of
the Union Anency, whose Jurisdiction
comprises the five civilized tribes, pro-
tests in his annual report against un-
lawful occupation of the Indian lands
and or;jes rigid congressional legisla-
tion to protect the Indian citiacn
against the encreoachment of aggres-
sive and grasping writes. Of 2000 com-
plaints filed aginst non-citissens Say
Indians in the past fiscal year a large
majority were against white men who
in the past had intruded, themselves
upon the Indians and had gained their
confidcnco lo a sufficient degre® to se-
enri) possession of their prospective al-
1 ita-ents, and after having secured pea-
se; Fion refused either to pay rent or to
vacate, thus preventing the Indians
from receiving any rents or profits
therefrom. Many of the Indians are
too poor to institute suit foT possession
>rui therefore are left helpless.
'J'be total population of the five eivi!-
Ibzed tribes is estimated at 84,75®, «un-
Iirlsing 20,250 Choctaws and freemen,
10,500 CIileasawB and freednten, 16,000
Creeks and freedmen and 3009 Scini-
ncles. Their lands comprise a total of
13.77fi,28G acres.
The agent says that there is now ev-
ery reason to believe that the Indian
depredations and disturbances in the
five tribes region are at an end. A few
full blooded Creeks are strenuously op-
posing the allotments of lands and
have banded together and refuse to ap-
pear to select, their allotments. A large
majority of the Creeks have, Isowaver,
actually made their selection®.
The report recommends that con-
gress appropriate out of the Cherokee
funds a sufficient amount to pay the
Indebtedness of the nation; that a law
he passed compelling the five tribes
to adopt a uniform sytem of taxing
con-citizens residing and doing busi-
ness in the limits of the nation and
that a workhouse or reformatory bo
established.
Dfmieltes Deported.
Mansfield, O., Nov. 5.—A vigilance
committee of men and boys captured a
Dowie elder,Mark Loblaw, of Chicago,
accompanied by a woman, presumably
his wife, Sunday. E. H. Liebjr. a local
Dowieite, who was with them, was
chased to a swamp and made Jalb. es-
cape. Leblaw and the woman were
taken to the Erie depot, no officers
being in sight, and after being held
there for two hours, they were com-
pelled to buy tickets for Gallon. In
the meantime another elder, who re-
fused to gvie his name, was also
brought in by a citizen and deported
en the same train. Both mem were
kicked and cuffed by the crowd, which
numbered several hundred, before the
train arrived. While the unknown el-
der endeavored to make a speech from
the rear platform of the train, he was
pelted with stones and gravel.
The population of the state of Ver-
mont, as announced by the censos bu-
reau, is 343,641, against 332,422 in 1890.
This is an Increase of 11,219, or 8.8 per
cent
Paris, Nov. 5.—A lively Incident oc-
curred at the Auteil racets over the
entry in the military steeplechase ot
the Jewish Captain, Coblentz, whose
recent treatment by brother officers at
the military school in Pontainebleau
led to a severe disciplinary measure
on the part of Gen. Andre, minister
of war. The anti-Semites had an-
nounced that they would make trouble
if Capt. Coblentz insisted upon riding,
and the police had taken precautions,
Capt. Coblentz mounted upon hi*
horse, Eastern Star, was greeted with
insulting cries immediately upon en-
tering the track. He promptly took
out a visiting card and asked if there
were any one present who wished to
exchange with him. No reply was
forthcoming.
Capt. Cobnetz rode in the race, but
was not placed. When he returner
to the paddock, hostile cri:s were agait
raised. His friends retorted with
shouts of "Vive la Republique," and
"Abas les clericals."
Several scuffles followed, buc the po-
lice quelled the disorder. A nationalist
municipal councillor and a Jew, who
had exchanged blows wer arersted, but
were subsequently released.
Capt. Coblentz, who is an artillery
officer, was recently transferred to the
Fontainebleau Ecole u Application
from a northern garrison, exchanging
with an instructor in the school who
|had finished his term of service iirij
.that capacity. Upon liis arrival at Fon-
tainebleau he left cards for his com-
rades, but his calls wer not returned,
and one of the officers, Major Duval de
Craville, undertook to express to the
other officers who had decid"d to ad^pt
toward Capt. Coblentz, because he is a
Jew, an attitude calcu'ated to make his
stay among them intolerable. In view
of this Gen. Andrea punished Major
Duval re Craviell with fifteen days' im-
prisonment in addition to sending him
from the school to a regiment in the
provinces. The minister of war also
sent back to their regiments six other
officers.
M. Deblowitz, the Paris corespondent
of the London Times, commenting up-
jon the incident at the time, said:
j "There is no question of the Drey-
fus affair involved. It is solely be-
cause of anti-Semite passion and a
question of extreme importance arises.
If French officers refuse to tolerate
Jews in their ranks, the Jews can no
longer be allowed to «nter Saint Cyr
jof the Polytechnique or the Ecole Cen-
tral, since, with rare exceptions in the
'case of Polytechnique the pupils of
these three schools on leaving become
infantry, cavalry or artillery officers.
On the other hand there is no reason
private soldiers should be less fanatical
than their officers and why they should
tolerate Israelite corporals and ser-
geants. The only possible conslusion,
therefore, is in order to avert a state
of things so impossible in a country
where military service is compulsory,
(all members of the Jewish religion
must be dispensed with in the mili-
tary service.
Durant's Limit*.
Durant, I. T., Nov. 5—Mr. Tinklo,
the surveyor in charge of the party
laying out the outside boundaries of
the town, says be will complete hie
,work in a day or so. He will leave
11400 acres in town, cutting it down a
little from the survey made for incor-
poration a year ago. This survey will
jtake a small slice off of the north, east
and south, but leaving all occupied
places within the town. Provisions for
a cemetery and park have been made.
May Go to Galveston.
New Orleans, La., Nov. 5.—It was
learned here that the third-class Ger-
man cruiser Vineta, which will call at
this port Jan. 17 and remain until Jan.
81, may be ordered to Galveston as
■well, the idea, being to show the friend-
ly feeling and sympathy of tbe Ger-
man government for the stricken city
and to demonstrate the emperor's faith
In Galveston's future, a port in which
Germany is very greatly
from a commercial standpoint
Fatal Haslnff.
Charleston, S. C., Nov. 5.—Thomas
jFinlay Brown, died from injuries re-
ceived while being hazed at Porter Mil-
itary academy. Brown was new at the
academy, and the other boys, following
their former custom, dropped him into
;a cemented swimming basin twelve
feet deep. The basin was dry at the
time and the lad received internal in-
juries from the fall. Before he died he
did not give the names of those who
had ill treated him.
Steamer Sink*.
»
Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 5.—The steam-
er Hill City, belonging to the Hill City
Steamship eompany of St Louis, and
plying between St. Louis and New Or-
leans, struck a hidden obstruction in
Tennessee Chute, just below the city,
and sank. The waters covered tbe
lower deck, but the boat lies in a good
position and can easily be raised. The
Hill City was en route to New Orleans
ai^d bad a full cargo, thirty
s crow of forty.

U
New Treaty Wanted.
Muskogee, I. T„ Nov. 5.—An effort
will be made at the next session of the
Cherokee council, which convenes at
Tahlequah this month, to have a bill
passed providing for a commission to
make a new treaty with the Dawes
commission and present the new treaty
as a substitute for the treaty now
pending at Washington, which passed
the house of representatives last win-
ter and will be presented to the sonata
as soon as congress convene*.
COM PAN V WINS.
•fudge Scott lfoldh tliat the Old Corpora-
tion No Longer Exists.
Waco, Tex., Nov. G.—In the case ot
the state of Texas vs. the WaArriif
Pierce Oil company, being a suit fci*
allegged violation of the anti-trust law
of 1889, the aggregate of the penalties
amounting te 5100,000, tbe defendant
won and the suit came to an end Mon-
day in favor of the Waters-Pierce Oil
company.
This suit was brought five years ago
and has been pending ever since. Last
Wednesday Andrew M. Finley, presi-
dent of the old corporation, filed an in-
tervention setting forth the dissolu-
tion of the corporation under the
laws of Missori of May 29, 2900, and
the acceptance of such dissolution offi-
cially by the state of Missouri, praying
in the intervention that the suit abate
by reason of such dissolution.
County Attorney Cullen F. Thomas
resisted the intervention by d'emurrer
and answered and the court heard elab-
orate arguments on the intervention
and the answer of the state and the
law applicable to the case. Last Sat-
urday afternoon the issue was tried on
its merits and Monday Judge Scott
rendered his decision, ruling that the
defendant corporation had been duly
dissolved in acordance with the laws
of Missouri and that therefore the suit
must necessarily abate.
Thus was ended in favor of the
Waters-Pierce Oil company a litigation
which became interwoven in the pon-
tics of Texas and figured in the state
convention last August.
The county attorney gave notice of
appeal.
Telephone Strike.
San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 6.—The
third day of the telephone strike did
not bring the phone usees any relief.
Up to the present the Southwestern
company has made no attempt to re-
store the service or a portion there-
of. From the best authority obtain-
able it was learned that no outside op-
erators have been imported into tho
city.
A feature of Monday was the work
of committtes appointed to call upon
local business men requesting them to
have their phones taken out if the
strike is not immediately adjusted. The
committtes presented each man with a
formal order to the telephone com-
pany requesting the removal of the in-
struments. Two hundred and thirty
business men were seen and of this
number 220 and said to have agreed
to dispense with their phones if the
strike was not satisfactorily settled.
The committees will continue at work
untill every telephone subscriber is vis-
ited.
The success of the movement has
been phenomenal. There have also
been meetings between the strikers and
business men. The strike in the tele-
phone exchange at Houston is in con-
junction with the tieup in this city
and Waco. The long distance service
of the state is crippled to a serious ex-
tent.
Protecting Credit.
Galveston, Tex., Nov. 6.—At a meet-
ing of the city council held Monday
night a resolution was passed directing
that interest on bonds to the extent
that the interest funds may be short,
be paid out of the sinking funds. The
coupons are to be bought and held as
an investment for the respective sink-
ing funds until such time as revenues
are sufficient to redeem them, when
they will be canceled. While the
property of the sinking funds they will
bear interest.
The Deadly Oil.
Van Alstyne, Tex., Nov. 6.—About 6
o'clock Monday morning, at the home
of Henry Reid, a farmer living seven
miles south of this place, in attempt-
ing to start a fire he used a five-gallon
can of coal oil. The oil ignited, burst-
ing the can and scattering the flames
all over the room. The house caught
fire and was burned to the ground. A
little girl 2 years old was burned. An-
other daughter 12 years old had one of
her arms burned to a crisp. The
youngest child, a little boy, was badly
burhed about the face and head. Mr.
Reid was burned so badly that it is be-
lieved he cannot recover. Mrs. Reid
has died from her burns. In the build-
ing was $200 in money, which was also
burned. The house was valued at $500,
with no insurance.
A society girl of Atlanta, Ga., who
has been studyfng genealogy in Paris,
London and New York, says Bryan is
of royal lineage and related to Mc-
Kinley.
FOOLED HV A FARMER.
How a Texan Is Said to Hare Got th«
Best of a Better.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 5.—According to a
rumor, a gentleman arrived in east
Texas the other day armed with a com-
mission of $50,009, which be said he
was authoriezd to bet in a lump or in
smaller sums upon McKinley's chances
for success on Tuesday.
His first stop was made at one of the
larger towns on the line of the South-
ern Pacific. Here he walked into a
crowd of agriculturists who were care-
fully counting the money they" had re-
ceived for their cotton.'
"Say, boys," he began, "who is going
to be the next presides I?"
"BAvly Bryan, by golly."
"Bet you $100 to $50 that he won't."
"I'll tell you what I'll do," said one
old farmer, after a pause, "I'll bet you
$100 even that I can name thirty states
that Bryan will carry, and $250 more
that I can name four additional ones
that will fall into his column."
The smart man with the wad went
after that proposition like a hungry
mouse after a piece of cheese, and the
money was put up without much for-
mality.
"Now name your thirty states," he
said.
The man from the forks of the creek
named all the states that he could
think of, including New York, New
Jersey, Maine, Connecticut and the
like.
"How about the other four?" he was
asked when he had finished.
"Here they are," was the reply:
"Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and
South Carolina."
Then the untutored man from the
forks of the creek showed the visitor
where the latter would have to part
with $150 in coin of the realm, for
while he had won the first bet, the
latter had been won by the Texan.
That was one election bet that was
paid before the vote was counted.
The man with $50,000 is said to be con-
vinced that this is no country for a
gold brick man.
Although it is prohibited by law, it
is doubtless true that just as as much
if not more money was wagered on this
election as on any held in the history
of this republic.
Red River Rampant.
Paris, Tex., Nov. 5.—While William
Dulin of this city, returning with a
buggy and doublo tem, from the Ter-
ritory, was being crossed at a ferry
north of Hankstown, the cable broke
just before reaching the Texas side,
itnd the ferryboat drifted two miles
and one-half before a landing could be
effected. The river was up about
twelve feet. T. W. Griffith, just in
from Hook's ferry, says that he saw a
lumber of dead cattle, saw logs, pump-
tins, etc floating down Red river yes-
terday. They are supposed to ha-
Deen swept down by rises in the Kiam-
itia and Boggy. W. P. Greeley, a farm-
;r just above the Kiamitia, lost con-
siderable land by caving.
Rleh in Ga*.
Corsicana, Tex., Nov. 5.—W. H. Stal-
ey, the oil producer, who has a lease
to the Edens league south of the city
Cve miles, on which bo has already
iriiled in three big gas wells, which
will be connected with his gas pipe
line, has commenced work on the
fourth well on the lease for the pur-
pose of increasing his gas supply. The
league, while it has not up to this time
showed up pay oil, appears to be rich
in natural gas.
Near Willowvale, Ok., a 15-year-old
son of J. O'Neil was fatally shot by a
14-year-old boy. The boys quarreled
over a wire fence.
Brother Gets Bulk.
Waco, Tex., Nov. 5.—Mrs. Richard
Coke, deceased, left her property by a
will, which will be filed for probate, to
her brother, Col. James E. Horne, who
is also made the administrator of tho
valuable estate, worth probaly $500,000.
Several bequests are made to relatives.
Since the publication of the news of
the death of Mrs. Coke, Col. Horne has
received many letters expressing es-
tem for the worthy lady and sorrow
for her death. Among the letters is
one from Gen. John B. Gordon, com-
mander-in-chief of the United Confed-
erate Veterans. Senator Cojce served
with Gen. Gordon part of the time dur-
ing the war, and was under his com-
mand in at least two battles. The
general expressed much sorrow for the
bereavement
Delay in the arrival of certain ma-
chinery for the Corsicana cotton fac-
tory will prevent the plant from being
put in operation as early as was ex-
pected. The intention was to have tha
mill making cloth by Nov. 1.
