Cutcaco, April 20.—[Special Telegram to Toe Bee.] —What is now called ‘“‘a blunder by some attache" of the First National band caused the ofticers of the Chicago & Eastern Mlnois road to make a sudden call upon Vice-President Lyman J. Gage and Cashier Symonds this morning. The railroad com- pany received 30,000 teom the bank during the early part of the week to pay off their employes, und among the amoun t there was a quantity of light gold. The coin had been received at the bank as bullion, had been stamped with the letter “‘L," which signified that it was light weight, and should have been sent to the sub-treasury, preparatory to having it shipped to Washington. But by some mistake one or more bags of this light coin was handed over to A. S. Cullom, paymaster of the Eastern Illinois, and now the employecs at Danville, IlL, and other places aiong the route are being heard from. The pieces of gold were turned out all right from the United States mint, but from long use they have become light, and as they are marked with an extremely large “L" those who received the currency were unable to get full value for it, hence the kick from the employes. As soon as possible a Mail reporter called on the superintendent, the vice president and the paymaster. Those gentlemen made haste to hunt up the bank ofticials, Mr. Gage and Mr. Symonds as- sured the trio that the affair was a blunder on the part of someone in the bank, and that good coin would be exchauged for the marked pieces. Mr. Cullom, therefore tele- graphed to all his agents along the line to take up the light coin as fastas presented. ““The marked coin got into the hands of the teller by mistake,” explained Mr. Gage, “and as fast as the coin is collected it will be returned to the First National, and then sent to the sub-t; MANY WAGON ROADS BLOCKADED Scenes Along the Line. Ox e OKLAOMA Bomper, April 20— |Special Telegram to Tue Ber.]—More than a tnousand camp fires are ablaze along the Oklahoma lines to-night, and as far as the eyo can reach their cheerful light is seen and the boomers are gaily singing in all di- rections, In onecamp a sturdy old Missou- rian was playing the tiddle, while a merry crowd of men and women were dancing on a wagon sheet spread upon the grounds.*At other camps groups of menwere sitting around playing cards; some were enjoying a smoke, while others were earnestly discussing their chances in Oklahoma. The country for milos is covered with horses and mules that are being well rested for the great rush into the promised land on Monday. One party of boomers was out hunting to-day and brought in a big fat buck and some smaller game. About twelve hundred teams are in the camps along the line, while double that num- ber are still en route to that point. Al will be on the line by to-morrow night, and Eas- ter Sunday will be peculiarly observed by the pioneers in the Cherokee strip, One of the boomers who had baen scouting down in the forbidden land of Oklahoma stated that there were already fourt ecn com- panics of soldicrs on the ground and patrols were moving about in all directions. He jumped off the train near Guthrie end tried to evade the soldiers, but was seen and arrested and kept under guard until the mexuv train arrived, when he was put aboard and seatout of the territory, Captain Hayes, commanding the troops on the Santa Fe rail- road line, on_the northern border of Olkla- homa, put a force of soldiers to work on the Santa Fe bridge at Salt Fork, to-day, and boarded it up in such a manner that the boomers who were too poor to pay for having their teams transferred across the streums by rail, were enabled to drive across the railroad bridge. This action was deemed necessary, on aclount of the feverish im- patience of the boomers who were waterbound and were fearful that they would not be able to get to Oklahoma in time for the open- ing day. They built two boats and tried to getover. They were becoming desperate. and it was feared that they would take the bridge by force if necessary, or resort to other extreme measures. Four horses were drowned, yesterday, in tryimg to swim the Salt Fork, and one man was badly injured by being knocked overboard byj an un- manageable mule. The Salt Fork rose ten feot, yesterday, and but for the Santa Fe bridge, many of the boomers would doubt- less have lost their lives in attempting to cross it. The military headquarters arc at Guthrie, which is probably the most active soldiers’ camp in the country at present. Tho shrill tfotes of the cavalry bugle resounded through the Oklahoma wilds, this evening, and every- thing seemed like war times, The Government Reservations.

Germany's Samoan Polioy. [Copyrighted by the New York Associated Press,), Benrwiy, April 20.--Herbert Bismarck has' prepared a statement for the Samoan cone ference as the basis for discussion, It bas been submitted to and approved by Sir E ward Malet, the British ambassador, who was in all probability consulted while it was being drafted. If tho American commi sloners accept tho statement the conferonos ought not to last more thun o week. Ger- many concedes the principle of absolute nons interferance in Samoa, and the natives aré to be left free to choose as their ruler either Malicton, Tamasese or Mataafa. No olaims for compensation for German subjects ara mentioned in the statement, and practically the work of the conferences; limited to de- fining explicitly the powers of consuld in’| regulating trade and shipping boundaries, of- any right over Pago Pago and othor sta- ' tions, and the formation of a tribunal for the protection of foreigners. The foreign office regards Hismarck's cens sure of Cousul Knappe and his declaration that Germany does not desire to meddle with the internal affaivs of Samoa, combinedt with tho proposals to be placed before, the Samoan conference as furnishing ample proof that Germany earnestly wishes to cons ciliate the American government. At the same time, 1t is regretted that the American government ignored diplomatic etiquette im sending delegates who are personally prejue diced on questions to be laid before the con- ference. Nothing of this feeling, however, will be shown toward Bates and Sewall, who will meet with a cordial greeting from Her- bert Bismarck on their arrival next Thurs- day. Sir Edward Malet, the British ambas- sador here, has asked Lord Salisbury to send Scott, the British minister to Rome as a delegate to the Samoan conference, Scott was formerly secretary of the British ‘embassy in Berlin, and is thoroughly con- versant with treaties and colonial matters generally. ‘The Munich Allgemeine Zeitung says that South Germany has never witnessed any- thing ke the present recrudescence of so- cialism, the aim of which is to influgica veasants and the smaller land owners w&h a view to obtaining their suffrages in the com- ing election, Although the reichstag has taken a re. cess, a keen and excited discussion is going on in the press in regard to the threatened press law and the workmen’s insurance measure. The reason the nationals are against the government is becoming more marked, and the division in the centre party on the question of press repression is becom- ing wider. One group goes to the length of denouncing governmental interference with the press or with the socialists, and will sup- port the progressists’ demaud for the aboli- tion of anti-socialist law. Another urges the necessity of giving the government the means to combat the revolutionary propae ganda, The government, under the existing disruption of the groups, will, it is expected, postpone the discussion of the press meas ure, Tne progressists are therefore prepars ing to raise the question of the rights of the press through a proposal that the state be; comes liable for the indemmfyingof journalg that may be suspended or suppressed with= out sanction. The coming period of the session before all directions. At one bridge over the river near Arkansas City, thirty-four hundred wagons are said to have crossed within the last three days, all goiag to Oklahoma. The s0il here is of such a nature that the roads are drying up rapidly; consequently the wagon route boomers are happy. There are blockades of vehicles at several points along the roads in the Cherokee Strip, caused by the impatience of all to get to the border first. Among the boomers entering ‘‘the i Strip were many wealthy men, going thero ' 3 for speculation. They prefer going by pri- | vate conveyance, because they will be en- abled to get nto Oklahoma at an early hour i on the opening day, owing to the way the | trains run. One wagon had a completely ‘) equipped barber shop ready for business, and [ several others were loaded with grocerics. Two grocery delivery wagons were in the procession and one well drilling machine. Some of the boomers passed through Arkan- sas City to-day leading a number of fine | horses to be used in the race over the line for choice locations in Oklahoma when the opening hour arrives at noon Monday. This will doubtiess be the most teresting and exciting race on record. It will be a go-as- you-please through prairie and woods over a wild unsettled country for homes, and in the race will participate men, women and chil- dren on foot and on horseback, in wagons, carriages and carts of every imaginable description. Some well groomed race horses are being kept fresh for the race, and what the rush may lead to is hard to conjecture. Boats are being built at points along the owift running streams and will be loaded b and kept over the Oklshoma line ready to start down with the current precisely at noon on the 22d. None will dare start a moment earlier than the time appointed by the president, for all are in dread of the military and fear that if they cross the forbidden line they will be denied all future right to home- stead land in Oklahoma. The president's proclamation is respected by even the most imvatient boomers, The country is under martial law, and Gereral Merritt, command- ing the Department of the Missouri, has moved to Guthrie with part of his stafl and made that his headquarters for the present. Reinforcoments are constantly arriviug, and the country has a very war-like appear- ance. No whisky will be allowed to be sold during the excitement, General Merritt, who is virtually military governor of the ter- ritory, bas issued orders forbidding its sale or introduction. These orders meet with general approbation from the better class of prospective settlers, for itis feared that whisky, if allowed in Oklahoma during the the great excitement attending the opening, would ¢ause a veritable pandemonium, and that there would be much bloodshed and strife. The Santa Fe railroad began, to-day, assisting settlers who were waterbound at ¥ the Sult Fork to cross that stream. The Salt Fori is one of the branches of the Ar- Kansas river and flows through the Chero- kee Strip. The railroad company is using flat cars, stock cars and box cars, into which 1s not that an exasperating si o Reinforcements of Troops.

[Copyright 1859 by James Gordon Bennett.] Buussers April 20.—[New _ York = Herald Cable—Special to Tz Ber]—As was pre- dicted from the first by the Herald's Brus- sels correspondent, Belgium's hospitality to Boulanger will be of short duration. Hear- ing of last Wednesday’s mecting of the Bou- langist committee at Brussels, the French minister, Bource, at the Belgian foreign ofice, intimated that the French republic was astonished at the toleration shown by Belgium towards Boulanger. Whereupon the foreign office sent one of the oflicials to the Hotel Mengelle to inform Boulanger that the Belgian government would be obliged if he could save them the painful nccessity of formally expelling him, either by sponta} ncously leaving the country or by subsiding into complete silence and isolation. Bou- langer consulted Rochefort and other friends and replied that he wouid leave Belgium early next week. It is believed ho will go to London, via. Ant- werp or Ostend. While the Boulangist organs have received instructions to put a good face on the matter, I can assert that Boulanger is terribly annoyed. Thanks to the telephone, ho could communicate from Brusscls with his Paris associates almost y minute. Through the medium of the Belgian papers printed in French, he could constantly diffuse ideas and keep up a noise around his name. In London or elsewhere. he will be separated from Paris by a great distance, and will be deprived of telephonic communication. His partisans feel that his Work on the Cheyenne & Northern.

This was claimed by General Hughes to have been a scheme on the part of Pierce and Williams to force the nomination of Williams, and was bitterly opposed by Hughes, Colonel Bentley and others. The United States senatorial fight entered largely into the mecting. Ex-Governor Ordway, ex- Governor Pierce ana General Hughes, the three candidates from this district, were present and addressed the meeting.
