Looking for Business Will . .
Make a Stir Boon.
Gcthrie, O. T., May 18. A report
reaches here of an alarming state of af
fairs in portions of Greer county. The
people who are now settled there took
their lands under the laws of Texas, and
many hold from 600 to 1,200 acres, having
it all fenced and largely improved.
Since the recent ruling of the supreme
court adverse to Texaeit has ? become
almost a certainty, that the' court will
finally decide in favor of the . United
States and the land will become part, of
the public domain. In this case, the
people who are now there will be able
to hold 160 acres, each, and there will be
many thousands of acres of improved
land for other parties. A large number
of stragglers from the recent Cheyenne
and Arapahoe opening, have' learned, of
this fact and have gone into Greer
county to await the final decision of the
court. While many are acting fairly,
buying the surplus lands from the orig
inal' Bottlers,? others are preparing - to.
jump the improved lands made by these
settlers.
Makes Another, Move.
Sa Fuaxcisco, May . 18. A dispatch
was received yesterday by General Pas
senger Agent Goodman, of the Southern
Pacific company, stating that the west
ern traffic, association' baa made another
move in the ' direction of doing away
with the payment of 'extensive commis
sions.' An agreement has been effected
applying to west bound business overall
lines west of Chicago, which is to remain
in pffwt from Mar (hut nnt.il rWsmlwr
31. 1892. and which fires the commis-ltheir
sions at $4.50 on first-class tickets and
$3.50 on second. .,

The Cattle King's War. '
Cheyenne, Wyo., May 19. Among
the prisoners of the rustler's war at Fort
BuBsel, is a loyal subject of. the queen
named W. B. Wallis. He has been in
America nine yeare. Learning of the
expedition by. accident, he joined it
without any clear idea as to bis pur
poses. He simply., wanted adventure.
The young fellow proved to be very
game, and distinguished himself by his
coolness under fire at the T. A. ranch
siege. The Britisher is willing to accept
the consequence of his set", but his em
ployes, the cattle kings, are urging him
to plead his alien ship, lie declares he
will not do this, and Jidda that he will
take out naturalization papers if he can
get any one to vouch for him. His fam
ily is wealthy and the prisoner has
plenty of ready money. He is inter
ested in a horse farm near' Lonsriiiont,
Colorado.. '
Slugger Sullivan.
, New Yoek, May 19. One of the city
physicians made a thorough examina
tion of Slugger John I,. Sullivan, yester
day. After looking over the massive
frame of the pugilistic champion .with a
good deal of care and thoroughness, the
doctor said: ''In all .my life I have
never seen such a magnificient specimen
of muscular development, and indeed I
do not think that another such a man is
living.- - You are in perfect health, Mr.
Sullivan; , your, heart, liver, eturuacli,
lungs and other organs are all perform
ing their work properly. . You are phys
ically sound, and with some of the super
fluous flesh in the abdominal region re
moved, your power of endurance would
be remarkable."
A Bad Impression.
New : Yoik, May 19. A Paris dis
patch eays the appointment of the new
Italian ministry has produced a bad im
pression in diplomatic and political cir
cles. The fact is that this return to
power of Criepi's" friends, and men who
look upon him as their political leader,
causes general' fear, .not that the peace
of Europe will bo at once disturbed, but
that its tranquility will - be eventually
threatened. Results of the ministerial
change cannot yet be appreciated at
their true value, but - they will certainly
be considerable.
Bast 8t. Louis flood.
St. Louis, Mo., May 19. A report has

of that city from the flood, has broken,
and the water is pouring into the town
in torrents, and people are fleeing for
lives.

East Madison and Venice People at Was
With Each Other Over Pro

St. Locis, May 19. Later report
from Venice and -East Madison are
alarming. The people at East Madisoi
to protect themselves from - the flood,
started an embankment which turns the
waters upon Venice, and fears thm,
bloodshed will result' are prevalent. Al
though the last-named place is under
water, the citizens did not like to lx
placed between two currents, as their
houses would be swept away. They
turned but iri force, and threatened, un
less the levee-building were stopped, to
cut the Chicago and Alton enbankment
and flood Madison. ' Venice also has an
armed guard protecting the Brooklyn
levee, which shields the. town from the
waters that are pouring through the
village of Brooklyn. The people of
Brooklyn are anxious to cut the levee,
so as to cause the water to flow some
other way. Serious trouble is ulco
threatened at Nameoki, a station on the
Chicago and Alton road, three utiles
from the river,' when it is in its channel.
Nameoki lies mc th -of the tracks.' The
entire' country north of the town- is.
flooded, and the railroad embankment
is all that eaves it. Early this' morning
the water began flowing over a low place
in the embankment between Nameoki
and East Madison, and soon flooded the
latter place. -

Telegraphic Flashes.
, The Blaine talk is now seriounly-:
meant. ' ...:.
George W.: Childs and party arrived
in San Francisco from the east yestcr-
day.
It is shown in the dispatches Unlay
that the- proposition ' to cut down the
river and harbor bill 25 per cent., if is
succeeds, will reduee the appropriation.
for the -boat railway to $187,500 and for
the locks to 376,250. The reduction oK
the appropriations for the boat railway
will not delay that work, as the contract-.
cannot be let until the right of wav is
secured, and probably by the time that
can be. dorn another appropriation may '
be had in the sundry civil bill of next,
session. Senator Dolph says the house
will not consent to a cut of so many off
their large appropriations," and should it
be made he will see, if any is restored
that Oregon is as well treated ns any
Other state, in conference. The provis
ion for the cascade locks secure the
continuous and ' speedy ' construction
of ' the ' 'work,' -and " the balance of
the appropriation ' required will be
made in the sundry civil appropriation
bill, as other appropriations to meet the
obligations of the government already
accrued, and the proposed cut, if made,
will not delay the work ; hut the Oregon
senators ' are not willing to surrender -anything,
and ; hope,- because so many
senators are interested in'-the large
number of works affected, that the prop- -osition
will be beaten in the senate.
