Oklahoma's Goternor Speaks His Mind.
Guthrie, Oct. 15. Governor Steele's
first report was made public today. He
favors the opening of the Cherokee lands
and recommends a different method
than that used recently in opening the
town site to settlement. In speaking of
opening the lands on the western border
the governor , says unless arrangements
are made to throw them open early next
spring, in time for settlers to put in their
crops for next year, it will mean hard
ship, destitution, sickness and death,
among hundreds of settlers, who have
been long on its borders waiting, for
homes. . - ' " . " ,
' The Methodist Convention. .
Washington, Oct. 15. Rev. Dr. Don
nelly, of the Irish Methodist church,
presided over the ecumenical council to
day. The first business was the further
consideration of the report .of the com
mitteo in response to a memorial on
Methodist federation. In the ' debate
over the resolution, Dr. Leonard of New
York insisted upon recognition by; the
chair, although the floor was already ac
corded to Dr. King. A scene of disorder
ensued, and nothing emild be done in
the way of business. DK Leonard fin
ally abandoned his effort, and Dr. King
moved an adjournment of debate on the
resolutions until tomorrow ; carried. '
The Storms in ISngland.
' , London, Oct. 15.--The gale which has
been raging over the British Isles for the
.past two days has not yet exhausted it'
self. All along the coast the beach is
strewn with wreckage. At Dover a large
quantity of debris,- evidently belonging
to one or more . wrecked ships,, was
washed ashore. A Cardiff coal-laden
steamer was seen near Holyhead and
the crew perished. The weather in the
Irish sea and the English channel is the
most severe experienced in many years.
In the midland counties great, damage
was done to stacked crops. .
Many vessels have been seen driven
helplessly past the Dungeness light, fly
ing signals of distress. The local life
boats are unable to be of any assistance.
The storm at Leicester wrecked a large
menagerie, killing many animals , and
wounding others.

ent , were Williams, of Connecticut ;

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Sawdust Section of the Fish Lair
Was Not Mentioned in the Title.
Salem, Oct. 14. In the circuit court
here Judge Boise rendered a decision de
claring unconstitutional Section 8 of the
fish law passed by the last legislature.
This is the "sawdust" section of the law
to protect salmon and other food fishes.
Judge Boise declares it in conflict with
Section 20 of the constitution, which says
every act shall embrace but one subject,
which shall be expressed in the title to
the act. This is not the case with Sec
tion 8. The decision was rendered in
the case of the state versus John A.
Shaw, for putting sawdust in the river.
A Foolish Young Man's Deed. "
Kansas City. Mo.. Oct. $. Hardly
had the foreman of the jury in the crim
inal court here yesterday pronounced
the words, VTen years in the peniten
tiary," as a punishment of Frank Row
laud, a wayward young man of good
parentage. , convicted of foreery. when
the defendant sprang to his feet in front
of the judge, drew a pistol, put it to his
left side and fired. A scene.of wild con
fusion! followed, during which Judge
White: fainted. The , bullet , did not
strike the heart, but passed through the
body just above it. There is a slight
cnance, nowever, tor nis recovery.
. The Irish Question Quiet. '
London, Oct. 14. The Irish question
is resting today. The McCarthyites are
pursuing a waiting policy, and, outside
of the Dublin newspapers, nothing is be
ing done to irritate. Should a new
leader be selected, it is believed that
Sexton stands the best chance, although
the prevalent wish of the McCarthyites
is that Justin McCarthy should remain
for the present. The Parnellites have
not yet decided upon a contest for the
Kilkenny seat made vacant by the death
of Sir John Pope Henneasy. It is be
lieved, however, that they will offer a
candidate for the place. " A Parnellite
will certainly be put up for the seat of
arneii at vjork.
The Ctty of Rome Safe. '
St. John, Oct. 15. A dispatch to the
Colonist from Trehassey says the report

was last seen at Marine Cove Sept. 8th.

Superintendent Farley Says That the

FARLEY AND ANTI-FARLET.
At Dalles City it is all Farley and anti-
Farley, bnt the superintendent seems to
have a tight grip on the long end of the
rope, being" backed by the mayor, the
presiaenr, oi tne Doara ot trade and tne
majority of the prominent merchants.
Those opposed to him say he is not fitted
lor tne position tie holds and should
never nave Deen appointed, and that his
mistakes have cost the state a great deal
of money. Farley answers that this op-
pusuion was caused Dy tne position he
took in regard to the water question last
June, and his opposition to the Moody
faction of the republican party at the
polls. The other side reply that while a
member of the council Farley - voted to
purchase a useless water-works system, "
in which D. P. Thompson, ot Portland, -was
interested.
INTERVIEWS WITH BUSINESS MEN.
The business men of The Dalles were
intrrviewed about the portage road and
Superintendent Farley with this result:
A.. S. Mcallister, 'manager of The
Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation
Company, and president of the board of
trade The portage road is just what
The Dalles wanted, and we are satisfied .
that it will do us a great good. If it had
been, built ten years ago our city would
now have 25,000 or 30,000 people. We
supply a large district, and the portage
road not only enables us to hold our
trade, but to extend it, as freight rates
to Portland are 33) per cent less than
on the Union Pacific. I made a trip
over the road and am confident the state .
got a good road for $60,000. The com- .
plaint against Superintendent Farley is
purely personal, and arose out of the,
part ha took in the municipal election'
last June. He is a capable man and our
people have the utmost confidence in
him.
Mayor Mays was not in town, but his '
friends authorized the statement that he
endorsed Superintendent Farley, and be
lieved that the road was a good one and
had been economically built.
Hugh Gourlay, editor of the Chron
icle, eays : It is the opinion of a large
majority of the merchants that no money
has been squandered on the Cascades
portage. . Whatever Superintendent
Farley would do would do would not lie
satisfactory to the Moody faction, but
you cannot find a leading merchant in
the city who has not confidence in the
superintendent. While in the council,
he opposed the Moody faction, and that
is the cause of all the trouble. Moody
wanted to supply the city with water
pumped from the. river, and ninety per1
cent of the people favored the gravity
system. The question was-the principal
issue in the municipal election last June,
when the Moody faction was overwhelm
ingly defeated. ,
DUE TO POLITICS.
E. B: McFarland, of McFarland &
French, general merchandise Superin- '
tendent Farley has done his work faith
fully, and there is no complaint coming
from the people of The Dalles. On ac
count ot the active part Mr.. Farley took
in matters before the last legislature, he -,
incurred the displeasure of certain par
ties, who, I think, have done everything -in
their. power to reflect on the manage
ment. . Our business men have confi
dence in Superintendent Farley, and are
satisfied that he built the road as expe
ditiously and economically as possible:
It was at the request of the merchants
that he took hold of the work. A dozen
of us went before Governor Pennoyer
and Treasurer Metschan and urged his .
appointment. Among them wereD. M..
French, banker; W. Lord, capitalist ; J.
H. Cradlebangh, editor; O. Kinersly,
druggist; A. S. Mdcallister, president of
the board of trade ; H . Glenn, contrac
tor; Emil Schanno, property owner; B. "
F. Laughlin. capitalist; George Liebe,
.Capitalist; A. A. Bonney, butcher; and
George Blakeley, druggist. AVe repre
sented the board of trade.
H. M. Beall, cashier of the First Na
tional bank The general opinion here
is that Mr. Farley is the best man for
the position. He has neglected his own
business since his appointment, to do.
what he could for the good of the people.
There is only one opinion in The Dalles
about the effect' of the building of the
road, 'end that is that it will be of great -benefit.
In fact it has already resulted
so. The price of wheat in Wasco and
Klickitat counties has advanced about 8 .
cents a bushel since the opening of the '
road. This enables Dalles to capture
the wheat of Klickitat county, which, in
stead of being shipped to Columbus,
then, ferried across the Columbia to
Grant's, and billed to ' Portland on the
Union Pacific comes direct to The Dalles
and is forwarded to Portland.' Our mer- ;
chants to a cnan will patronize the new
service. They make no complaint about
the rates, and why should they? They,
are shipping freight much cheaper than
ever before. . . - . -
NO CAUSE FOR CRITICISM.
' ; Frank Menefee, .city recorder So far .
as I know there is no great cause, if any,
to . criticise Superintendent Farley. It
may be that some mistakes have been
made in the construction of the road,
but they are trivial. Our people were
surprised to see the road completed and
in operation within such a small appro
riation. Senator Watkins, the father
of the bill, providing for the road, did
not think it could be built for the
; . (QtnchiM cVesftd fat.)
