Gothrlo tToltls an Election Nearly 10, 000 Vote Volled Tho Oklahoma Her ald Makes Its Appearance Thrco Men Roportod Killed by Claim-Jnmpurii at Ontlirlo Other Casualties. Guthiuk, O. T., April 24. Dealers in real estate began business before 2. o'clock in the afternoon. Ono enterprising dealer had as a background for tbe safe transaction of business a stock of rifles which had boon placed thero by the government troops on duty at tho land office. Near by was the tent ot United States Marshal Needles. The tent was surmounted by a largo American flag. Many Disappointed. When tho second and third section'? of tho train had arrived noarly everything in sight had been taken, and the only recourse left to those disappointed in securing lots was to buy out such holders of lots as were willing to sell, or run the risk of hiking outside the legal limit. Both courses were adoptod, and a good number of Outhrie city lots changed hands. ISuying and Selling Lots. Tho first sale was made by man named R, C. Rummels, of Malvan, Kan., who sold a fine twenty-flvc-foot lot near the land offlco for $5 to an old doctor, a resident of one of the Indian reservations adjoining Okla homa. The purchuser refused 50 for the lot flvo minutes later. Several transfers were made, nnd others who were determined to locate here drove stakes outside tho town line. This is preparatory to the purchase of homesteaders' rights and extension of the city limits. Outhrie already has its Main street, its Harrison street, its Guthrie avenue and its Oklnhoma avonuo, and Monday morning it was a wilderness whero tho antelope sported and tho jack rabbit flapped its ears hi the sun. An Election Held. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock the first mu nicipal election occurred. The olection no tico nppenred in Tho Oklahoma Herald, n daily paper published at Guthrie, on the first day of its existence. A council wns elected nt the same timo. Nearly 10,000 votes were polled, ns theie are about that many men in ! Guthiio with tho intention of becoming citJ izeus. Hank Opened. Tho Bank of Oklahoma opened for busi ness at Guthrie Monday with a capital stock of SSO.OX). N. W. Levy, the "Wichita banker, is president; George W. Robinson, the banker nt Winlleld, and Hon. Horace Speed, of Indianapolis, directors. The new city is flooded with business cards of nil descriptions, representing every lino of trade and business, ovory profession nnd every occupation imaginable. I A moss of mail is expected to reach the Guthrie postofflco every day. It is now being run by a postal clerk detailed for thnt purpose, but Mr. Flinn, of Kiowa, Knu., lately appointed postmaster, will tako charge in a day or two. I Thlrtj-l'Ho Thousand Located. I In fcpite of everything the authorities could do there wero hundreds of people in the territory before noon. The land olllce opened at 12 o'clock and remained open until 4, merely for tho pur pose of complying with tho law. But nobody went there. There are now in Oklahoma about 83,000 people. I'nrcell Almost Deserted. Purckll, I. T., AprJI 24. A great change has come ovor this town. Monday morning it was a metropolis, now it is a hamlet in point of population. The metamorphosis was effected at 12 o'clock, when soverul thousand men, women and children crossed tho Canadian, river and entorod upon a wild struggle for homos in the promised land. Liout. Adair, with a small body of troop ers, came to the scone at 8 o'clock, and patrolled the river bank until noon. An othor guard was stationed at tho Santa Fo bridge. Still anothor dotaohmout crossed to the Oklahoma side and began beating tho bush for hidden boomers. Below the bridge is a great bend where tho quicksands are known to be tho most treacherous. free Fight In a Cur. As tho trains lay on tho siding each enr was a theatre. It seemed as if every man hod a plan whoroby he could leave the train after it had passed into Oklahoma. Stealthy glances at the boll ropo showed that tho en gineer's gong would sound about the timo tho train was over the bridge 1 olow town. A discussion in one car brought on n freo fight among somo gamblers, and pistols wero flourished in tho most reckless manner. Thero happened to bo adeputy United States marshal on tho car, who cut tho lobe from n man's eur ut thirty paces, and when ho thr.ow up his gun the others dlsappeaied as if by magic. Tho Start. At 11:40 tho conductor of the long spociul train on on the siding gave tho signal, tho engines whistled shrilly, and the special lo- gnu its trip Ok nhomaward. It seemed n if every man on tho train shouted when the train moved, and a moment later tho sound of pistol shots told that the Texans wero firing their salute. Gathering tpecd, thoi trains soon came opposite tho ford, and then n furious fusiludo broko out. It was con- tinned until tho train dashed around tho bond, pieparntory to crossing tho bridge. Tho Jtusli ISckIus. Suddenly the cheerful strains of the rocnll nro bounded. In nn instant tho scone changes, Thero is n mighty shout, nnd tho advance guard of tho invading army is racing Uko mad across tho sands toward tho narrow pxpaiu-o of water. Tho racers take different directions, but most of too wagons go northeast, Tho glass dotects dozens of meu nuios ueyonu tuo river. Those aro t boomers who huvo boon hiding. I Six shots in rapid succession, coming from a point a mile away,, attract; attention. "They're sottllng ono dispute already," re marked a man who has pioneered all through the wost Oklahoma City'.-. Room. A dispatch from Oklahoma City says that at 12 o'clock men soainod to rise out of the ground there, and in an incredibly short I timo n town site was stakod oft and' lots I placed on tho market. These men dropped from Sunday night's southbound train when It slowed up for the station. It is estimated that 200 left tho same train! between Guthrie and Oklahoma. On the East and Snath. Fokt Smith, Tex, April 24 The small bands of sentries and guards on the eastern and southern borders wero-uttorly nimble to check the mighty tldo of men that poured into tho promised land. Tho fit st fight took place in tbe early morning at tho ford on i Kickapoo creek. Upon being hailod tho I boomers made no reply, and those already across tho creek made every effort to get back on tho opposite bank. In the rush threo horses were drowned and a boomer 'named Mnrkbam,, an ox-tragedian, who was stranded at Memphis, had his leg brokon. llattlo With IJoomorK. Georgo Hnrkness, leader of tho boomers, called on his party to retreat in good order, but tho boomers manifested an inclination to contest tho right of way and soon two shots rang out from the loft flank of tho wagon i train. The guards promptly returned the ' fire and great confusion resulted. It was 1 pitch dark. Horses became wild with fright; I women shrieked. Men rushod frantically about trying to preserve order. No ono was KUiea. narxuess mmseu was snoi lurougu the ear. A woman named Moore was wounded in tho thigh. Another Fight. Anothor fight took place fifteen miles east of Niebeck, in which a man and woman were killed. They belonged to a party of Mlssisslpplans, whites and negroes. They belonged to a party who hod been making moonlight trips into Oklahoma, and about five miles across the line had staked off claims amounting to 1,400 acres Nine Prisoners Taken. A squad of Cheyenne scouts came upon the trail just as day dawned, and followed it to whore tho men were. The scouts followed tho retreating intruders right into tho camp and n hot fight ensued while they wero en deavoring to tako prisoners. A young man named Molson was killed, as was also a woman, while sho wns running toward tho brush. Tho scouts retired with ni.io pris oners without losing a man. Three Men Murdered. Arkansas City, Kan., April 24. A spe cial received from Guthrie by Tho Traveler says that threo men who took claims thero Monday wero foully murdored about 5 o'clock by claim-jumpers. Tho names of tho assailants nnd their victims could not bo learned. A vigilanco committee nro now scouring thu county in search of tho mis creants. A Contest for a Town. Kingfisher, O. T., April 24. This thickly-populated town is only a fow hours old nnd yet it has a wooden United States land office and n vast number of substantial canvas structures. It is another city of tents, but w ill change to lumber as t.ooa as tho wagons arrive. Tho land olllce has opened for business. Olllcers Resign and Jump Claims. A strango scono took place in Kingfisher nt 11:53. Nino United States deputy marshals i?sigued their office while in Oklahoma and stepped ovor to Kingfisher and selected the choicest lots before tho crowd arrived. 1 hen the people camo they all secured lots for themselves, and one old man homesteaded tho whole city nnd began to dig up the gi ass to plant his corn. As nobody yet has a titlo to tho city tracts it remains to bo settled in court whether lots secured will hold good or whether tho old man will seize the city for a corn field. On tho west side of Oklahoma only 3,000 boomers entered. No casualties aro reported thero. FROM COMMANDER MULLAN. Sad Times Now nt Samoa Terrible Ex perieiioe of the Nlpslc. Annapolis, Md., April 24. Mr. Ferdi nand Mullan, of Annapolis, has received from his brothor, Commander Dennis W. Mullan, commanding tho Nipsic, a letter dated Apia, Samoa, March 23, in which he describes the disastrous storm, during which tho Nipdc and other vessels were wrecked. Speaking of Thomas Johnson, his colored steward, who was a resident of Annapolis, Commander Mullan says: "Poor Tom was drowned. I feoly deeply his lass. Ho was evor faithful and dovotei to me." Continuing, ho said: "Tho Nipsic is again afloat, but without rudder or propoller tho only muu-of-u nr now afloat. I stood at my post throughout that dark, long stormy night and 6aw death at my door two or threo times. Oh, what nn anxious timo it was. Even the day after the night was dark. All is gloom hero now and sadness. I am bruisod in body and my cabin is all torn to pieces. It was filled with water. A Garman nuu-of-war struck us twico during that stormy night, and it was dark, as dark as dark cou.d woll bo, and seas as high as Annapolis stato house, but tho Nipdc rides at her anchor in Apia harbor, out not by far tho old Nipsic. I had no smokestack whon I beeched tho ship. We nro all ulono at anchor nnd have the wholo harbor. God bo praised for a safo deliverance from tho jaws of death, Nothing llki this liu oc curred since the lovj of tho Sp mUli Armada In tho English chnnuel. No talk of war hero, but of tho late hurricane nnd its dLas-ors. Just to think of ono Gorman war vessel going dliectly uuderno-ith n rosf, only ono officer and four men saved from her, I am ! bruisod, lame, sore, weak, etc. I have hail enough of Simo'i DiuiiKeh iiuiiKiirluns All fitted. Mount Caumkl, Pa., April 24 Monday night borough officers, who had arrestee several drunken Hungarians for disorderly conduct, wero attacked by other Hungarians i who attempted a rescue. During the light which eimied, John Shorns, a Hungarian, was killed and others wero seriously injured. A dozen Hungarians wero finally lodged in the police station. FlIOINTl A Reporter Hns a Chat with tho New English Minister. SIR JULIAN DECIDEDLY DIPLOMATIC IN 1IIS REMARKS. Ha rrobnbly Had iti Mind tho Fate, of Lord Snckvllle Although Here Hut a Few Days lie is Positive He Shall Like America Ho is Dined by Whltelaw Reld Off for Washington. New York, April 24. Sir Julian Paunco fote, the now English minister who arrived on the Etruria Sunday, was sufficiently re covered from tho fatiguo of his voyage after a night's rest at the Brevoort house tq soo newspaper men Monday. Sir Julian is a typical Englishman. He is over six feet tall, well built, with tho appearance of an athlete, arH Is in striking t j,nst to nis pituecessor, Lord Snckville, who wns under-sized. His face is clean shaven, with the 'exception of care fully trimmed side whiskers. Ho is partially bald, and his hair and whiskers are near ly white. Ho is just 00 years of age, which is con sidered young for statesman in En- crlnttrl Klr.Tliltnn in jdlian PAUNcxrom very C0Urte0U8 in mnnnor nnd voice has tho rich, mellow tone of a man accustomed to public speak ing. ' The suavity of his bearing and genornl appearance nro not unlike Mr. Chnuncey M. Depew. "I know I shall like America," Sir Julian replied to the usual question. "True, Ihave had scarcely a chance to soa anything, but I have mot so many Americans" in En gland and heard so much of your country thnt I do not feel like n stranger." Regarding tho questions in dispute between this country and Great Britain, Sir Julian spoke with diplomatic reserve, probably having in mind Lord Sackvillo's fate. "I shall not venture to givo nny opinions on political subjects," he said. "My position in tho foreign office at homo mado mo famil iar with tho dotalls of tho fisheries treaty and tho extradition treaty. I cannot say whother another commission will be sent hero to consider either of these questions. Tho fisheries dispute is probably tho most serious, but I am hero with tho most pacific intentions, and bear with mo the cordial good will of hor majesty's government. Wo have only tho kindliest feeling toward America in England, nnd I am confident that I shall find it reciprocated hero. The newspapors havo published more or less nccurate accounts of my career. I was educated as a barrister, havo been attor ney genornl, chief justice and under secre tary of state in the foreign ofilre of London. I have had a wido experience in diplomatic matters and havo traveled pretty much all over thrf world, excepting tho western con tinents." "Did you meet Mr. Blaine' when ho was in England," tho reporter asked. "Yes," he replied. "I was present at a dinner givep to Mr. Blaino in London, but I did not hnvo an opportunity of conversing with him, as his attention was engaged by people of more importance than myself." "How was Mr. Lincoln's appointment re ceived in England J" "I left so soon aftor his appoiutment that I had no chance to observe Tbe first ex pression was rather one of inquiry. I have no doubt that he will receive a cordial re ception in London." Sir Julian dined with Minister Whitelaw Roid Mouday ovening and loft for Washing ton in the morning. He expects to return to England in August for his family, consist ing of his wife and four daughters, threo of whom are in society, while tne other prob ably will make her debut in Washington. Sir Julian expressed regrot at not being able to remain for the centennial celebration. THE CENTENNIAL PARADE Will Probably lie Thirteen Miles Long. The Naval Display Will Do Grand. New York, April 24. Gen. Butterfleld, grand marshal of tho civio and industrial parade of tho Washington centennial, sent a lotter to Mayor Grant in which he an nounces that tho parade will probably bo thirteen miles long. It is absolutely neces sary, he says, that tho streets bo cleared of all obstructions. Mayor Grant is asked to co-operate with the police to effect this re sult. Tho applications for plaoos in line havo swelled to such proportions that it has become necessary to ask tho different appli cants to reduco their numbers in tho parado, if possible, otherwiso it is feared the proces sion will not end In day timo. Tho naval committee has tolegraphod Ad miral Porter, asking him to send to this city his chief of staff to nrrango the dotails of tho naval parado. This committo havo secured threo steamers for tho accommodation of in vitod guosts. Tho plan nnd scope committee has decided that Hamilton Fish, the president of tho centennial celebration, shall rocoivo Presi dent Harrison at tho foot of Wall street. At tho banquet Mr. Fish will occupy tho soat of honor, and aftor asking a minister to say grace, will allow tho duty of conducting tho remaining part ot tho, program to dovolvo upon Mayor Grant Admiral l'orter, Grand Marshal. Washinhton, April 24. Tho secretary of tho navy lias issuod a special order appoint ing Admiral Porter grand marshal in tho harbor of N.w York on tho occasiou of the centennial colobrntlon. From that date un til the 3d of May next all tho United Statos naval vessols in tho port of Now York, in commission, will bo under his orders. Tho commandaht 6t tho Now York navy yard is directod to co-oparato with tho ad miral in making tho "naval display" a success. THE MISSOURI'S MEN. Handsome Floral Frencnt for tho Tlrave Captain lllrth During 'a Storm. Philadelphia, April 84, Tho Missouri camo to her dock after 5 Monday evening nnd was greeted with cheers from tho crowd awaiting hor. It was a joyous reunion. 4 Capt Murrell, of tho rescuing vossel, gives a graphic account of meeting the distressed ship, of tho signalling which passed between him and Capt. Knudsen, of tho dnngors of getting tho Danmark's passengers off, of tho heroism of tho Swedes and the final cut loose from tho sinking ship. "On looking ovor our provisions," ho says, "wo found, after n careful esthnato of the number of mouths wo had to feed, wo hod only enough food on board to last threo days, and I decided to make all possible ' baste to rench St. Michaels, which was 720., miles away. Our jettisoned cargo consisted of rags." On April 7 Mrs. Linnio, agod 18 years, a Danish woman, who was on the way to America to meet her husband, gave birth to n girl. Tho Httlo stranger was christened Atlantic Missouri. Tho child was born during n howling storm. Just before arriving at tho pier a florist's agent boarded the ship, and searching out Capt Mun ell presented him, on behalf o several prominont ship owners nnd .citizons, with a handsome floral ship, tho hull and rigging being composed of pink roses on a sea of evergreens and trimmed with silvered sails. It was a complete surprise to tho cap tain, but ho recovored himself and nccepted it in a fow words, where in his modesty again played a prominent port. "I thank you," said ho to those who had gathered around him, "for the officers and crew of my vessel for this offering, because I appreciate that this is not alone intended for me, but for the bravo men who surround me. It has been said that thero are po more British sailors, but I have been con vinced on this trfp that the British sailor still lives." Capt Murrell will be lionized for tho noxt, day or two as a mark of tho esteem in which he is held by those who know him and of his gallantry. He was made an honored guest nt tho annual dinner of the Sons of St George. Tho final leave-taking between Capt Mur roll and tho passengers of tho Daumnrk was affecting. For all of those who grasped his hand the master had a smilo, a kind word ot well wishing. Gladstone" "The Grand Old Man's" Reply to a Recent Homo Rule Memorial. BuFrALO, N. Y., April 21. Tho noted "exile," McBride, recently sent Mr. Glad stone a list of names signed to a Home Rule memorial, and Including thoss of President Harrison, Cardinal Gibbons, Spenkor Car lisle, Vice President Morton, Archbishop Ryan, Secretary Blaino nndn largo majority of the members of both branches of con gress. Mr. McBride has just received an autograph letter from Mr. Gladstone reading as follows i "House of Commons, ) London, April 12. "Dear Sir I have the honor to acknowl edge your letter of tho 22d of March and tho remarkable list appended to it of thoso dis tinguished citizens of tho United States who havo testified through tho memorial you mention their interest in the condition of Ireland, nnd their desire for a just and rea sonable acknowledgment of her National claims and aspirations. , "I rejoice not only to think but to know that throughout tho wido confines of tho race to which w e all belong thero is an over whelming preponderance of sentimont in favor of that acknowledgment At home this judgement has boon constitutionally, re corded by Ireland herself, by Scotland and Wales, tho representatives of all the threo being in favor of Home Rule by a majority of threo or four to one. "And, founding ourselves on the ovidenca of tho eloctions in England which havo taken place since tho goueral election of 1880, we firmly believe that England horsolf wore the opportunity now offprdod her by a dissolu tion, would record a verdict decisively in ac cord with thoso of tho other portions of tho United Kingdom and of tho Anglo-Saxon race at largo. Encouraged by these indica tions at home nnd abroad, and by tho wise ndvico of their representatives in parliament, the Irish people show an indisposition to crime and outrago not less remarkable than their determination to carry forward their cause to its successful consummation now retarded by tho votes of men who do not represent tho real sentiment of tho country. "It is a further satisfaction to me to in clude in this acknowledgement local, but authoritative, manifestations from America, only less remarkable than what has pro ceeded from the centers and hns had the illustrious sanction of the president himself. This very day I have received a communica tion in tho same spirit with your own from the legislature of Nebraska, ono further in dication of tho sentimont and desire which prevails throughout the vast domain of tho United States, Finally, I rejoice to bo put in possession of such declarations at a mo ment when your great country is about to celobrato on tho 30h inst, tho centennial anniversary of the inauguration of Wash ington as tho first president; of tho American commonwealth. I have boon requested from Chicago and elsewhere to intinutte an nssur anco of my participation in your National ' joy. "It is a real and a grateful participation for tho stntesmon of tho American lovolu tion havo taken their plnco ono for all among tho greatest political instructors of tho world. Georgo Washington was their acknowledged and illustrious head, and to him and tlipm I have long felt that I owned no trivial part of my own public education.
