Bravery Orrictatiy CoumenDep.—Secretary Tracy has issued a general order calliug atten- tion to the repeated acts of heroism of William Fooye, a seaman on the Vandalia, who jumped overboard February 23 and March 9 last in the harbor of Apia and rescued shipmates from drowning, and again on the latter date, when the ship's propeller was fouled by a rope during a heavy «well, disabling the engines at a time when the vessel's position was unsafe.

EVERYTHING IS ORDERLY AND QUIET, AND NO ONE CARRIES A GUN—GOVERNMENT OFFICERS SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS NOT MORE FRIO- TION—A TALK BY ONE WHO HAS JUST RETURNED. Special Agents McBride, Mahly and Lewis, of the Department of Justice, have returned from their official trip to Oklahoma, where they have been for the past month watching certain government interests. Mr. McBride's travels over the territory have given him a fund of good-humored incidents and interest- ing observations, some of which he related to a Star reporter. He says that the dust is the only objectionable feature of the country. in a of which he grows enthusiastic, But e dust is fine, penetrating and everywhere. CHARACTER OF THE PEOPLE, “The people who entered Oklahoma,” he said, ‘are remarkable for their superior intelli- gence. The best of feeling revailed and notwithstanding the of the first few days were good humored and I think the opening of the territory in such order and peace, and the immediate at- tention of the thousands of strangers to the development of the country and the building up of its towns is a greater and more * FAVORARLE COMMENTARY ON AMERICAN CIVII- IZATION than was the centennial pageant in New York recently. Some of the newspaper correspond- ents sent out sensational stories of killing, but they were imaginary. There was no bloodshed in Oklahoma, and after the first two days there was no display of fire arms or weapons. Afew tenderfeet from the east came with their armor buckled on, but they were laughed out of it after a few days, and there is now no more display of weapons in Oklahoma than there is in Washington. THERE WAS ONE FUNNY INCIDENT at Guthrie, where a fellow was telling the folks gathered around him how dangerous he was, and how he had better be left alone and how disadvantages the people folks had better not cross his purposes. While the crowd were admiring him an urchin called out: ‘Say, _ mister, where did you get so bad?’ in a small shrill voice that brought down the house and turned the laugh on the would-be ruffian, That say- ing is now an Oklahoma classic. It will de- scend into history. ie and Oklahoma station,” he con- re good cities, well policed, with good citizens, lots of houses going uP, stores ath houses, barber shops, a tent-church, accommodating 1,000 people.’ Also, an opera house of similar construction and capacity, where a sae ped of opera singers have already appeared, and many OTHER SIGNS OF CIVILIZATION. Many of the folks, having settled their claims, have gone off for their families, Of course there will be a good many contests over claims Ex-Representative Weaver was one of the men in the __ territory —_be- fore 12 o'clock on the opening day, He got a claim and some town lots. I think that it was wonderful how so many people could go into such a territory without more friction than actually occurred, and in my belief there never was a more orderly settlement of new lands, There were some very funny and interesting things occurred within my ob- servation, things that made one feel the force of the adage that truth is stranger than fiction indeed.” THE REPORT OF MARSHAL JONES, The Attorney-General has received the re- portof Marshal W. C. Jones, of the district of Kansas,in regard to the actions of the United States marshals in Oklahoma, concerning which there was considerable rather sensational talk immediately after the opening of the territory last month. He states that he attempted, and he thought suc- cossfully, to organize a’ force of marshals at the time of the opening at various points where it was supposed there would be a concentration of opulation, suflicient to protect them from the lawless acts and bloodshed that were predicted. There were nineteen deputies thus appointed, He remarks: “I believe thatafew of my depu- ties have attempted to file on as many tracts of land in the territory, but I know many of them have not, and while I instructed them not to so, when they saw themselves sur- rounded by about 500 to 700 persons at Guthrie, and at least one-half that number at Oklahoma waiting for the hour of 12 to come. I do not wonder that some of the depu- tics, who were serving without pay and only there in the interest of good order, took the fever and attempted to get them homes, I never attempted to homestead a foot of land either in Oklahoma or any other territory or state. The country is absolutely quiet in Okla- homa, and I am astonished at the false reports of bloodshed circulated by the rae There has not been a single person illed by violence in that territory since the 22d of April.” The report was dated May 9. WHAT THE LAND OFFICE CLERKS SAY, The clerks employed in the general land office, who were sent to Oklahoma to assist the land officers in that territory to handie the business which the great rush of settlers caused, returned home last evening. Like everybody else who went in with the crowd they compiain of the dust which per- vaded all things in the new territory. At King Fisher’s station 800 land entries have been made out of a possible 5,000. At Guthrie 1,000 entries had been made out of a possible 5,000, It is said that while there will be a great many contests, yet there are in- stances where cases are being settled by compro- mise between the settlers. The local officers can now easily attend to the current business, which is likely to be quite large, as only 1,800 entries have been made out of a possible 10,- 000 in the territory. The land officials occupied tents until houses could be erected, and lived on a rather limited bill of fare which con- tained no vegetable: a ee PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.

Special Cable Dispatch to Tux Eventne Star. Loxpon, May 14.—Salisbury in the house of lords yesterday confirmed Hicks-Beach’s state- ment that the United States are estopped from pleading the favored-nation clause against the sugar convention by their course in 1884, but I repeat that the convention will not passit. The government yesterday announced its post- ponement till after the other legislation of the session, This is equivalent to a postponement sine die, and is so taken by the ministerial jour- nals, which are all either hostile or lukewarm to the bill, THE RAID ON THE GAMBLERS, although the prosecution is adjourned, con- tinues the prevailing topic of conversation. It is well known that others beside those actually arrested were present at the Field club. Every- one says to everyone else ‘What names do you suggest?” Even the name of Williams. a well known and popular police magistrate, was widely rumored, but this is incorrect. Much sympathy is felt for the beautiful Lady Dudley, whose son, the young earl, is squandering his epee I hear thgt her alarm at his gam- ling set the police on the Field club. a BULLYING SWITZERLAND. The Czar and Kaiser Would Like to Di- vide Her Territory if They Dared. Loxpox, May 14.—Considerable discussion has been aroused in the various European capi- tals lately by the belligerent tone assumed by the Russian and German press toward Switzer- land on account of the liberty allowed by that ancient confederation to the socialist and nihi- list refugees within its borders. Doubtless the diatribes almost daily hurled against the Swiss government are intended merely to intimidate the Swiss into taking steps toward the expul- sion of the hordes of plotters against royalty and society who have betaken themselves to Switzerland to escape long terms of imprison- ment or to save their necks, but there is still less doubt that both the czar and the Kaiser have more than once cast covetous eyes upon the territory comprising the little republic, and would gladly add its acres to their already enormous domains IF THEY DARED. In this view the current of discussion runs toward a careful calculation of the chances of the successful issue of an attack upon Switzer- land by one or even both of the powers named. England would certainly not permit such a move without a formiable protest, and France's interests under her present form of govern- ment lie in the direction of the preservation of the integrity of the only really successful European government by the people, to say nothing of the other considerations which would influence her action in a matter in which Germany was deeply concerned. Even Austri: and Italy subservient as they are to Germany, would hardiy countenance an invasion of Switzerland, and many Europeans believe that the United States, though in no way interested in the internal affairs of Europe, would from sentimental motives interpose HER VETO OF THE ACT OF VANDALISM. which would cause the overthrow of the Swiss confederation and the annexation of its terri- tory. Then, too, the people of Switzerland are to be considered in such » contingency and and not lightly. The peacefnlly inclined Swiss government might possibly submit to a mild legree of coercion applied by the stronger powers for the purpose of compelling the ex- palsion of plotting socialists, anarchists, nihi- ists and the like rather than be drawn into armed conflict withits neighbors, but the mem- ory of the countless victories of the Helvetians in'years long gone by ending in the recogni- tion of Swiss independence the world over is still fresh in the national mind. The hardy Swiss mountaineer is just as brave and uncon- querable to-day as he was hundreds of years ago, and with the assistance which would surely be forthcoming at the outset of any at- tempt to subdue Switzerland that country could successfully resist any foe, and the per- petuation of the confederation and its hospi- tality to the stranger who is a retugee within its borders is therefore assured. UNITED BRETHREN CONFERENCE. Resolutions Passed by the Majority in Regard to the Seceders. Yor, Pa., May 14.—Bishop D. K. Flickinger, D.
