Many are departing by the trains, but others, being o poor to D1 even railway tickets, are stranded here, What to do with the latter class will bo a question to be decided by the eity author ties, All those roturmng tell the samestory of tlie lack of water and scarcity of food, but of un o ersupn'y of heat, hot wind and dust.

The Cherokee Strip is now a reality, and a very grim reality at that. There is no Canaan ubout it, either. It was a prom- ised lund, but it has not kept its promise. It may do o a year from now, but at present the Strip 1s about the most uvinviting quarter on the face of the eartl Water is obtainable i only a few places. Food is so scarce that a loaf of bread costs 50 cents and a pound of smoked ham is worth a dollar. The weather is suffocating and another hot wind is blow- g from the south that would parch all vegetation if there was any to parch. The drouth of last month has left the country burned dry. A smothering dust, composed of a combination of fine sand and ashes from the praivie fives, fills the air and adds to the thirst and genoral discomfort of the un- happy boome: The careless building of camp fires has set the parched praivie blazing in many places and boomers are out tighting off the flame: In other pluces unscrupulous men ha started the fives in the hope of driving so timorous claimant off a valuable tract. TKEKS, yIng to Stralghten Out. Today was generally given effort to bring order out of chaos. The farm- ors familics have put up tents, arranged their privato houses as comfortably as pos: #iblo, and have begun the search for water, either in erecks, springs, or in ariving wells, while the head of the family has hustled off to the nearest land ofiice to file his prolim- fnary paper: The county seats and town sites have be- come busy communities. Those reached by the railways have been fairly well subplied with provisions. In those off the lines of travel the commonest commodities command fancy prices, so greatly does the demand exceed the supply. At Willow Spring vater sells at 10 cents a glass, bread ay cents u loaf and other supplies at propor- tional amounts. Restaurants, shops of all kinds, drinking places and gambling houses have been estaulished in tonts and are doing 8 thriving business.

The littie one began to cry and ran off toward the house, where her mother and seven more children were congregated The old lady cannot speak any Inghsh. She had been told that her husbund was killed down on the Cherokee Strip during the race vesterday. “The report is that Frank Ratay and Frank Krenck were both killed.

This was ken as a reference to the advent of Satoili, and the cheering wus tervific. He alluded covertly 10 the opposition he had eucountered from the hdivarchy and bade the .young priests remember that the prejudice of Americans ust the church of which they had com- ained was 4 prejudice the church itself had aroused. He was prepared to follow the words the pope's messencer had just uttered in Chicago: “Go forward; holding in one hand the book of * Christian truvh and in the other the constitution .of the United Stutes.” Let thechurch butpursue this policy and the American people .would take it to their arms.

General Trac and the fifteen or mocrats, who acted with the re publicans last weak will also, it is unc stood, come into camp. 1t is betieved they were following the white house opposition 10 the present consideration of this measure on account of its effcet in the senate, not because they were not as anx. ious to secure the legislation at which the Tucker bill aims as any of thelr democratic colleagues. With a quorum of democrats in favor of procceding with the measure, hosw- cver, longer attiliation with the republicans woula be folly. Besides, Senators Voor hees and Gorman and other democ leaders in the senate have expressed tho opinion that the passige of the Tucker bill in the house, no nintter how long the debate procecds, will have no effcet whatever on the action of the senate. Indeed, they de the opposition of General Tracey an i his friends was injuring the cause of the re tof the Sherman bill by angering the silver men in the senate, who declared it savored too much o1 white house dictation.
