Osg of the funny tilings in the poli

which some 1 euiocralie journals aff.-et to
fi-el that General Harrison is, in every
sense of the term, President of the I nited

! potent reasons for the unavoidable delay.

hardly contain themselves.
At it o'clock this morning the public

an eitent that the passage was exceedingly
diiticult. Several promiiMSitireii were in

WILL IHVESALOONS.
Oklahoma is going to have saloons. This
was settled yesterday when it was decided by
the authorities that this particular neck of
woods was not Indian country, and therefore
exempt from the wise provision prohibiting
the sale of the cup which cheers and also
gives a headache to our dark terra cotta
brother of the plains. Fire-water acts on
the red constitution just a it d ies on the
while, only more so n quality and more of
it in quantity. In the rirst stages he is lo
quacious and wants to talk National politics
w ith an eight word vocabulary which en
tails notch wearisome iteration. In the
next he is noisy by a desire to pay old
grudges with an incidental encouragement
to renewed activity in the corner line. In
the ttiird ami last he is like a big bag of
quicksilver. II is bones seem to float about
at w ill all over his interior department. I
have heanl frontier sii iceman say the only
eomfortahle way to arrest a thoroughly in
toxicated Indian was to fasten a grappling
book in toe slack of his hide and tow him
to the calaboose by mule power. Indians
don't seem to care whether they disgrace the
family or not. and on account of this trait
the laws against selling what is correctly
termed "alkali" tolheraaro occasionally en
forced with a rope. But the United Slates
has decided that the Oklahoma burner is
not to b? classed in the tarifi schedules as
an Indian, therefore the boom:r will have
his saloon, and having his salo.m, will have
trouble. And, having trouble, he will have

Th; following facts concerning I'ticle
Sam's iHWscssions in and about the Okla
homa domain are interesting at this time:
By the treaties of August 11 and I'i, lSvi l,
the Creeks celed to the United Slates the
west half of their entire domain, about 3,
toitis m acres, at .T'l cents per acre, and fie
Seminole their entire domain, about 2,037,
414 "2 acres, at cents per sere in all 5,4.'.0,
M'i .'iO acres. These cessions, as stated in
these treaties, were in compliance with the
desire of the government to locate on them
other friendly Indians and freedme:i. The
Springer bill, which on February 1, Isi,
passed the House of Representatives for the
organization of Oklahoma Territory, in
cludes Oklahoma, "the Cherokee Outlet"
and the soeallcd " No Man's Land," or
" Public Ijind Strip," and all that art of
the Indian Territory not actually occupied
by the live civilized tribes.
Mr. piinger, in his report of February ",
l.HSS. irom the Committee on Territories, de
scribes its area as fjllows: "The area In
said Territory not occupied by the Indian
tribes, and the acreage thereof, is as follows:

They are now crossing the Canadian in

power to stem the tide. livery possible con

which is still swollen, fhe bjomers make

Its iswild nighlin Purcell. Cowboys and
boomers are riding through the streets with
revolvers and threatening every person who
may attempt to stop them w hen they decide
to cross. The gambling houses are deserted
and everybody is out iu the street, yelling
and shooting.
An ollicer who ha just returned from
Oklahoma reports that five boomers were
wound) d and one killed in a fi'ht with offi
cers. The boomers ran into the brush. An
Indian scout discovered them, and when
they were found by the olti.wra they showed
fight. Those who were not wounded or
killed after the first volley went ileeper into

It was claimed here to-night that the rail

Kills His Father and Himself.
SraiircrfEfJ-, XIass April 1 7AiT Kins J
this morning shot and killed his fj'.hr, a
wealthy citizen, ajed 7s years, at West
Farms, a small hamlet five mire from West
field Centre. Mr. King was lying asleep in
bed, and his wife, who bad not undressed,
was on a sola in the same room. It was two
o'clock when she was awakened by revolver
shots. The son had stolen in through the
sitting room, and, without a word, aimed
closely and fired tiiri!e shots into the body of
his father. Iw.t was instantaneous. Tbe !
son's only reply to his mother's pleadings
was to ask her to send for Charles Clark. Ha
then vainly en dm rural to cu'.er the rjom
occupied by Lis two annis, Mrs. Tattle and
Mrs. Moore, and after setting the house on
fire diajpiieuied.
The screams of Mrs. King summoned the
farm hands, who extinguished the Hames.
About three hours afterward the murderer
was found dying in a pool of blood near the
smoky ruins. The revolver with which bis
work had been done was lying by his side.
Sticking i: a tree was a batiier knife recently
sharpened.
A few days ago young King gave to Charles
Clark a sealed manuscript, which he request
ed hi in not to open until some lime iu the
future, saying he would soon go away, and
that the letter would reveal why he went
and where be would be. The papers were
read to-day, and reveal the determination of
Edgar to kill his father and also an aunt.
The final act was to be his own death. All
this, with one exception, has been done.
Edgar was once in business, was worth
considerable property and was married. Six
years ago his wife procured a divorce on the
ground of drunkenness. Wlien his property
was gone he led a bad life and gut what
money he could from his father until the
Utter refused to give him any more.
The murderer's body was buried this af
ternoon in the manner requested in his man
uscript. A pine box only was used. No
members of the family attend!.
Mormons Whipped.
St. Ixit'is, April 1!). Information comes
from Pale county, Ala., that five Mormon
missionaries were severely whipped snd
driven from the county last Monday night.
These men had been holding meetings
sinong the ignorant classes of the county
and had formed a colony to go to Utah.
This had decn carried on against the judge
ment of the better class of citizeus, but no
action to stop it was taken until the last is
sue of the Ozark Star a.lvised the people to
tar and feather the Mormons ar.d drive them
away. Monday night some forty of the so
called best citizens of the northern part of
the county, without the slightest attempt at
disguise, surrounded the house of Gid Irons,
a recent convert, who was entertaining the
five missionaries.
Without delay they were brought out,
stripped lo the waist and tied in a row. Then
each of the regulators, with a long switch,
struck each prisoner a sounding blow. I'.y
the time the last blow was given two of the
men bad fainted and the others were wet
with blood. After the whipping the men's
leg were given a ihiek coaling of t:tr aud
feathers and they were warned to leave in
stantly or suffer death. Irons was told that
if the Mormons were found in his house
agaiu he, too, would be whipped.

Three Men Burned.
Detroit, April 21. A fire athchn's Hotel

King McPherson May Stretch Hemp
Washixutos, April IS. About liiree years
ago an American numed McPherson went to
Oualooska, one of the Alentia Islands, and
took sssession. After raising the United
8tates flag he forced the natives to address
him as "King McPherson," and exacted
heavy tributes from hem. Several rebelled
against him, and he set an example 1 y hiv
ing three of them hanged. A speeial agent
was sent from Washington to investigate the
matter with the result that it has been deci
de! to bring McPherson to San Francisco to
be tried for murder. The island belongs to
the United Stales.

Quay Is Surprised.
"Don't speak to me of office seekers,"
said Senator Quay, on his way lo Washing
ton the other day. "I am tired of seeing
them. They run to my house before break
fast, and keep it np until midnight. I be
lieve many of them are insane on the ques
tion. I have bad people come to me whom
I had never seen or heard of b.-fore , and
win expect to see again. The large num
ber of theru were not representative mem
bers of the party, but rallier the scum.
There were mure office-seekers this time
than ever before, f ir all the men w ho were
put ont four years ago wanted their old of
fices back, and then there were dozens of
new applicants for each office. Fortunately
they were all fairly well supplied with funds
and did not try to borrow any money from
me. They thought because I am the Chair
man of the National Committee I ould gjt
them anything lasted for."

OUR H ARRISBUrtG LETTER. j
From oar p;Ci&I Correspondent. j
HtKcisBi-Kc, April 19. 0.
Tiie futile e!Hrt of Mr. Wherry to defend
his course ou Monday on the anti-discrira-ination
biil was rather amiuing, especially
as it was followed by the announcement
that he was positively a eandhbte lor Gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket. Under the
heed of "priviledged question." be arose and
eoiphaiically denied any intention ol using
the measure for political purposes, but the
letter ofMr. Carnegie lo him looks as ifbotb
were in the soup. I-et this be as ft may, the
present Legislature has conic to tiie conclu
sion that tiie author of the " Triumph of
Democracy," and the great lemocralic lead
er nml come bef re it with clian hands.
The llottse met promptly on Monday
evening aud siarted out to make clean work
by making wholesale special orders for bills.
Sixteen orders were made, when the previ
ous question put an end to it.
An effort was made to recall the resolu
tion for the Legislature to attend the Centen
nial celebration in Sw Vork.at the eip?nse
of the Slate, but it failed. This great body
wilt likely go over there on the 'toth of A pril
and spend a week of valuable time at the ex
pense of the State. An honest effort was
made to defeat this nonsense, but there were
too many members of tiie House who had no
regard for their oilice nor the work they
were sent here to do. When it was seen that
a majority of the members wore determined
to go to New York, by an effort it was agreed
to change the order of business and hold
three sessions un Friday and two on Mon
day, in order to make up for tim which
must be lost by going to tiie Washington
Centennial Celebration.
The session on Friday afternoon was not
very well attended and when the roil was
called a majority, which is required to con
stitute a quorum was not present. The
doors were dosed and the roll cailed, when
over one hundred of the members were
found to be absent. Among them was Rep
resentative Miller, of your county, who was
eicused. Subsequently enough absentees
were brought before the bar of the House on
a warrant by the Sergeant-at-Arms to make
a quorum. The Speaker remarked that those
nlwnt were in contempt of the House, being
absent without leave, and they were not al
lowed to particulate in any of the proceed
ings of the House until they purged them
selves and were excused by the House.
This might work a hardship on some of
those who absented themselves.
Both Houses are running on full time, and
the legislative ax is chopping away at a
brisk rate, and it now looks as if this great
model legislature would certainly adjourn
by the'.ith of May, unless too much time !s
squandered in g ling on their jaunt to N ?w
York.
The Finley-Xichols contested case was re
ported by the Committee on K ections dur
ing the week, and the report of the m aj ui y
seating Mr. Nichols was adopted by a
strict party vote, unsealing Mr. Finley, the
Democrat, who lias held the seat thusr
during the session.
The warm weather is setting hard o:i the
average legislator, and he is beginning to
look pale and complains of overwork ; but
no great harm is likely to come to him, un
less to punish him a little for the brge
amount of time squamlensl during the earli
er days of the session, when real good work
should have been done.
Philip.
AN END TO SUSPENSE.
The Danmark's Passengers and
Crew Are Rescued In Midocean.
Lisbon;. April 21. Forty-two of the crew
and all the passengers of the Danmark have
arrived here. Mr. Itaben, the first otbivr,
who is among them, reports that ou April 4
the Danmark's shaft was broken. Ou the
next day the disabled steamer met the steam
ship Missouri, from London, March 2S, for
Philadelphia and Italtimore. The Missouri
towed the Danmark until the 6th, when the
latter seemed to be about to sink. At first
the Missouri was only able to tune aboard 20
of the Danmark's passengers, but after hav
ing jettisoned a portion of ber cargo she
found accommodations for all the crew and
passengers of the Danmark. The Missouri
then proceeded to the Azores arid left there
t he tirst and second ofiieers and U-- passen
gers. She then continued her journey to
Philadelphia with ok) passengers ami the re
mainder of the crew. The captain and three
engineers ol the IXuiuiark left the Azores on
the 14th for London.
The Danmark was about 8oo miles from
Newfoundland when the accident occurred.
Some say that the engines broke down. En
gineer Kaas was found dead in the engine
room after the accident. The captain and
three engineers proceeded to lindori on
lioard a steamer from Demerara.
The death of the Dmmark's engineer was
due to the bursting of an engine piie. The
engineer was killed on the sis-t. and the ship
was badly damaged. Iu consequence of this
damage, together with the breaking of the
shaft, the vessel was helpless in the heavy
seas that prevailed.
A New York special says: The Missouri
is anchored four miles oft the breakwater.
Xo one is allowed on board to-night. It is
suppm-d that many of tiie Danmark's pas
sengers are on lioard.
Worked to Death.
New York, April HI. Postmaster Henry
George Pearson is Hying at bis residence at
liighwnod, X. J. His wife, his father-in-law,
Tost master General James and Mrs.
James, his aunt, Mrs. Heiscr, and other
memliers of the family are with him. His
disease is tumor ot the slumach. Early last
evening he was gn-atly exhausted, and at II
o'clock it was imp-nsible to detect any move
ment of the pulse. He is constantly kept
under the influence ofopiates, so he sutf-rs
very little. Mr. Prarsoa has been under the
care of Dr. Abram Jacob since last Novem
ber. The doctors say that his illness is en
tirely due to overwork and worry. The strain
of the last Presidential campaign did lunch
to aid the progress of the disease.
Dr. Curry, who is in charge of the rase,
said : "Mr. Pearson is dying from internal
hemorrhage su-ierindtined from long-continued
mental and physit-al strain. He is worn
out hy overwork and overworry. The fact
that he was at his o!!i: as late as Tuesday of
last week is one of the m ist surprising in
stances of will power aud determination I
have ever known. He must have suffjreda
untold agonies in dragging himself to his
office to ierform his duties."
Mr. Pearson's illness took a fata! turn last
Thursday when he had a very severe hemor
rhage. At midnight Mr. Pearson was still
alive, but his breathing was almost imper
ceptible. New Yonrt, April 20. Postmvster Henry
G. Pearson died at 4:20 this morning at the
residenceof his father-in-law, ex Post master
General James, at Highlands, X. J.
New Yoax, April 20. Ex-Postmaster Gen
era! James brought the news of postmaster
Pearson's death lo the post office early this
morai.ig and then entered upon the duties
of his son in-law, pursuant to the action re
cently taken by Mr. Pearson's bondsmen
delegating the powers of the ollice to him.
His first act was to send a telegram to Post
master General Wanamaker apprising him
of the death. Mr. Pearson's death was
from a hemorrhage caused by cancer of the
stomach. He had been in a comatose state
from 11 o'clock yesterday morning until he
died. He was 43 years of age. His death
occurred on the thirteenth anniversary of
his wedding. He leaves a widow, but no
children.
The Championship Belt.
Baltimobe, April IS Thc$ls.rO diamond
belt for which Kilrain and Sttllivan will
light in July, was deposited to-day, by Mrs.
Kilrain. with the Mtrcanlile Trust and De
posit Company for safe keeping. It will re
main with the trust company until June s,
when it will be turned over to C ridge, the
final stakeholder in the fizht. The reason
for this precaution is that should anythinc
happen that the belt were not turned over
to tiie final stakeholder at the agreed time
tbe $lo,0oo deposit of Kilrain's backer, as
well as the belt itself would be forfeited.
