D., chief of division in the register's office of the Treasury Department, has just returned from South Dakota, where the people are preparing to elect successor to the late Representative Gamble. ‘Mr. King was quite prominently mentioned as ® candidate, but he says he will not enter the list. He believes that a republican will be elected, although t!v alliance people are mak- ing a strong fight. ihe latter are campaign- ing before the convention, and at the harvest home festivals are putting forth a great deal of alliance doctrine. The republicans will bave only a short campaign and will be unable to reach the farmers. There is liable to beagreat deal of apathy with but one man to vote for; the incentive which called out tle vote when the location of a state capital was an issue or when an entire state ticket, two Congressmen, members of the legislature and county officers had to be elected is absent. South Dakota has been election ridden for the past three years and the people are getting tired. The ‘hope the democrats entertained that the alliance would tuse with them is not to be realized, Mr. King saye, —— the democrats ciaim it be- se they helped she alliance elect a Senator st winter. Buteven if the leaders did agree to fuse, the rank and file of the alliance would ‘not follow them. They claim that they are much stronger than the demo- crats, and it would be foolish for them to “help elect a democrat. There will be three tickets in the field and the repub- licans haye the most votes if they will come out. Among the candidates mentioned by Mr. King wuo are in the field for the republican nomina- tion are W. E. Lucas, now of Hot Springs, but formerly of Chamberlain; Edwin Van Cise of Deadwood, E. B. Martin of Deadwood and Col. Gurdner of Rapid City. ‘These are all from the Biack Hills, while L. B. French of Yankton, L. ‘M. Preston of Mitchell and J. M. Green of Chamberiain are among those who are in it from the eastern part of the state. The northern tion of the atate concedes the second mem- er to the southern portion. for although the state is not divided, Maj. Pickler is trom the northern part, and it 18 good politics on the part of the republicans to select their candidal from the other section. Ex-Representative Gifford and ex-Delegate Matthews will not be candidates, nor will the brother of the late Mr. Gamble, as hus been reported. Mr. King say that Senator Pettigrew is not mixing in the fight before the convention, but ways he will do all he can to elect the republican nominee as soon as he is named. The big crop which South Dakota has raised this year ‘makes the calamity campaigners feel somewhat discour- ed, but they are circulating loads of liter- ature in every purt of the state. ——---___ READY TO MOVE IN, Twenty Thousand People Waiting to Settle on the New Oklahoma Tract. Hon. Warren G. Sayre of the Cherokee com- mission is at the Ebbitt, after aseason of Indian diplomacy of the most intricate nature. “Twenty thousand people are ready to move in on the land which is to be opened in Okla- homa next week," said he to a Star reporter. “Five thousand quarter sections means 5,000 families, and, averaging four toa family, that gives us 20,000 people. Who did we get this land from? From the owas, Secs, Foxes, Ab- sentees, Shawnees and Pottawatomies. Con- tracts with them have been ratified by Congress and the land will be thrown open in a few days. Accontract with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes has been ratitled, but as those Indians have not yet taken the allotments due them there can no immigration; the Indians must have first choice. When the; have been aliotted, though, there wi be @ surplus of at least 8,500,000 acres—22,000 homesteads. When Congross meets there will be presented to it an agreement with the Kicka- poos by which an additional tract of 182,000 acres can be turned into public land. Altogether the soil we have purchased will pro- vide homes for 120,000 people. Each purchase, by the provisions of the existing law, adds eo much to,the territory of Oklahoma, and when the desired ratifications and allotments have beet made Okiahoma will be three times its resent size. No portion of the United States a4 made u better showing than Oklahoma, and within n year we will havea population of at least 150,000." THE TIMBER RESERVATION. A New Proclamation From the President Defining Ite Boundaries. March 30 last the President issued a procla- mation intended to reserve the forest-bearing lands iy the Yellowstone Park region. Some question has arisen as to the boundaries pro- claimed being sufficiently definite to cover the forest intended to be reserved. Therefore another presidential proclamation was issued yesterday defining the boundaries in Wyoming ae follows: “Beginning at a point on the parallel of 44 degrees 50 minutes north latitude where said parallel is intersected by the east boundary of the Yellowstone National Park; thence due east along said parallel twenty-four and one- half miles; thence duc south to the parallel of 44 degrees north latitude; thence due west along vaid parallel to its point of intersection with the west boundary of the. state of Wyo- ming: thence due north along said boundary to its intersection with the south boundary of tho Yellowstone National Parks thence due east along the south boundary of said park to. the east corner thereof;thence due north along the east boundary of said park to the place of beginning.” WILL BE SETTLED IN ONE HOUR. What Gov. Steele Says of the Strip to Be Added to Oklahoma, “Oklahoma will widen ite borders ina few days,” said Gov. Steele toa Stan reporter lust night. “Within a weck or two 820,000 acres will be added to our territory, and it will be settled within an hour from the time it is de- clared open for settlement.” The land has been purchased from Indians and js good enongh for any white man. Politice? Don’t hear of anybody out there talking much politics now: everybody is busy with the finest crops mortal eyes ever gazed upon. No, Oklahomans are not worrying themselves about 1892 and ita candidutes, We do not vote, and although we may feel intensely interested our interest bears 8 close revemblance to that which quadrennially makes it appearance in Washington.

Alexander D. Schenck, from K to light battery F; First Lieut. Henry A. Reed, from light ; First Tout oun Et carn THE NEW YORK SITUATION, Effect of Fassett's Nomination on Demo- cratic Plans—Hill and the Senatorship. There is a feeling among politicians who are familiar with the New York situation that the nomination of Fassett by the republicans will cause the democrats considerable unoasiness and no little embarrassment. It makes it very important to them that perfect harmony in their ranks shail be secured and it may upset some of the plans for the convention which have already been made. The republicans will Probably be united under the leadership of Fassett, though some of Erhardt’s friends may hold out on account of the fight that was had over the collecto: Those who wanted Erhardt to retain his place in the custom house may find it particularly difficult toring themselves to the earnest support of the man whom Platt used to knock their friend out, but there is a general belief that Fassett is strong enough to overcome that difficulty. The democratic plan has contemplated the nomination of Flower, but there is some suspicion that Mr. Hill ‘may step in and take the nomination himself, in which event the democrats would be in a worse shape than they now are. With Flower as the candidate there might be only ashow of harmony, but with Hill there would probably not be any attempt ‘ou the part of his opponents to hide their an- tagonism. ‘assett is regarded as both aman of high character and a shrewd politician, backed by a very general popularity,strong enough perhaps to offvet the feeling of antagonism which is cher- ished by many against Platt and all who repre- sent Plattism. , Gov. HILL AND THE SENaTORSHIP. It is suggested that Gov. Hill, though he per- mitted himself to be elected to the United States Senate, did so, as it is now openly stated, against his own judgment and that of his most influential friends, solely because of a thr: conveyed to him by two of Lieut. Gov. Jones supporters in the legislature that unless he took the senatorship and thus allowed Jones a chance of promotion they would join the re- ublicans and yote for the re-election of Evarts. He bas never taken the first steps to indicate his acceptance ot the position thus conferred upon iim. The records of the United States Senate since the establishment of the government fail to show another case of a Senator unquestionabiy elected who withheld his credentials so long as Gov. Hill has done. So far as the official roster of the Senate shows there is only one Senator from the state of New York—Mr. “Hiscock, and the secretary of the ay = 4 - in real safe epee | = 5. lary aud mileage ‘opriated for & Senator from New York. rag COMPLICATIONS THAT MIGHT OCCUR. Should Gov. Hill determine to make therace for governor there will be a humorous “Pooh- Bah" complication. Senator-clect David Ben- nett Hill will have to notify Gov. David Ben- nett Hill officially that he declines to accept the office of United States Senator, to which Gov. Hill has officially notified him that he was duly elected. It will then become the duty of Gov. Hill, ture not being in session and a legal vi being brought to his oficial knowledge, to appoint a United States Senator for the state of New York to serve from March 4 Iast (and incitlentally to draw all the back until the fegis- ¥ lature ‘in the following Seavey can fill the Fcuncy in proper form, "It is, perhaps, strain- ing the possibilities of the ridicuious situation to suggest that it would be legai for Gov. Hill to appoint himself to fill the vacancy which he himeelt had created and that he might thus assuage the wratk of the ambitious lieutenant governor by permitting him to play governor for a brief period. However esthetically de- sirable this plan might be, it would involve a relinquishment of the control of the machine, which Mr. Hill is not likely to risk. Notwithstanding all these apparent absurdi- ties, it is gravely contended by democratic politicians in the councils of the party hig! that Hilland not Flower will be the nominee put in the field to contend with Fassett. For Hili to adopt such a course would be to take dexpergse chances, as there may be « limit to the bowitm which a’ party will stand. For those men in his party who oppose him to work for hiselection under such circumstances would befor them to surrender to him completely and to place the presidential nomination at nis dis ‘The chances are that a very large element of the democratic party would do nothing at all to assist him in the campaign, and the independent voters of ‘the state would either vote for Fassett or ran an independent candidate, either of which would put Hill in great jeopardy. —-2-___ THE DEBT OF KANSAS, Figures About Farm Mortgages Furnished by & Census Bulletin. There bas been # good deal of discussion in regard tothe debt of Kansas, The Farmers’ Allisnce agitation has given an importance to the question which makes it one of more than local interest. As is known the census office has made an effort to collect stgtistics in regard to the mortgnged indebtedness of the country. One of the results of thisirquiry is a bulletin issued today which gives the mortgaged in- debtness of Kansas by counties. The total as- sessed valuation of real and personal property in 1890, not including the value of railroad Property, which is placed at, $57,866,233, was $290,593,711. The estimated true value ts, between eight and nine hundred millions. Tt is found that Kansas has a mortgage debt of $235,485.10%, which does not inclnde a state und railroad land contract debt of $7.661,718. This debt is 27 per cent of the estimated trie value of all taxed real estate, ‘The average amount of debt per mort- gaged’ acre is placed at $6.65. Mr. Porter, the superintendent of the ceneus, states that’ the result of this inquiry differs widely from those t were ted. He said that it might be supposed from, what was asserted in public of esand elsewhere that the indebtedness Y Kansea was, about. equal to the truc value of the land. This, however, figures proved to It "is “also shown that 34 cent of the total debt in force against acres is on real estate in the western hulf of the state, where it is said values are low and where settlement was made but a few years ago. It is proposed to prepare a map showing the exact localities in the state of the debt. ‘Mr. Porter says that the largest debt exists in the sections where there is the greatest pros- perity and where there has been ap advance in improvements. considers that this favorable showing for Kansas, which he says is the heaviest in debt of any ‘state, is an encouraging indication of what this inquiry willshow ive to indebted- ness in other states.

At ts Believed That Mer Soldiers are Prepar- ing to Cross the Danube. Loxpox, Sept. 11.—The number of troops engaged in the Russian army maneuvers in the Bovernments of Kiof, Pocolia and Volhyuia is about one hundred thousand. They are all drawn from the interior, and there is no dimi- ution of the great frontier garrisons scattered along the Austro-hussian boundary. The Maneuvers are attended by the loading military commanders im European Russia, and press Tepresentatives, both foreign and native, are excluded. The St. Petersburg and Moscow newspapers will be supplied by the government with such information as it is thought proper toxgive. Itts known that the maneuvers in- clude the feature of educating the troops to familiarity tosmokcless powder, and thatspecial ntion is given to the eficiency of the new rifle recently adopted by the czar. RUSSIAN TROOPS ASSEMBLING. A correspondent who has been visiting the Bussian southwestern frontier at Bessarabia as far as the Danube says that troops are rapidly arriving and in large numbers. This would be the base of departure for a Kussian army advanc- ing toward the Baikans and Constantinople. At Tutschkof four regiments were quartered where last year there were only two. At Vul- kovo and Rilia five regiments had recently ar- rived in addition to the men already there. Ai Kagul three regiments arrived about a month ago and at Jalpuch reinforcements of 7,000 men bave recently taken up their quarters. ‘The troops are pouring at the same rate into other villages. These places ure of little conse- quence apart from their situation, where an army of iuvasion would naturally concentrate, In view of these facts the correspondent con- cludes that Russia intends at no distant date to make across the Danube for Constantinople, and that her preparations show that this time she means to have a force sufficient to over- come all obstacles. A Berlin correspondent says that there is « good deal of quiet satisfaction in high quarters with the situation in the Dardanelles, and the fact that England, which bas been holding aloof from the triple alliance, may now have to beg the assistance of the alliance to stop the course taken by Russia. There is no proba- bility, however, that Germany will interfere as long as the question at issue is confined to the passage of the straits by the Russian vessels of war or otherwise. = BROKER STOKES’ SUICIDE.
