BLUNDERING BOOMERS. KANSAS NEWS. AN7'iv LEASE. Gazette Brewster morning-. None of the customers of the Kansas Newspaper Union will be affected by the fire, as the work was temporarily transferred to other presses in the city.

The large wholesale store of the K. U. was untouched, and all orders were as promptly filled as usual. No one of the firm's patrons are losers in anyway except those who had roller cores for recasting. The loss is quite heavy, but the money value of property destroyed all comes back in insurance.

Most of one session of the senate was taken up in considering an amendment to the record of a speech made by Senator Call, of Florida, which that gentleman had changed so as to read different from the language he uttered.

The occurrences of the past few days along the south line of Kansas, bordering on the Cherokee str.p, or outlet, have been such as the world has scaieely ever seen. On Friday afternoon the wires brought tho news that the bill to form a territory to include Oklahoma, the outlet, Xo Man's Land and certain smaller reservations, set the thousands of camjang boomers near the S2v-eral towns in Kansas, near the line, and in Oklahoma frantic. The passage of the bill had been antici pated, and was not a surprise, but a sad blunder was made in the dispatch.

The bill de clares No Man's Land public lands, open to homestejid settlement, but as the dispatch read this declaration was made applicable to the Cherokee outlet instead of iSo Man Land. A stampede resulted: boomers everywhere breaking camp and hurrying to lands already selected, or taking their chances in staking claims wnerever a quarter section could be first reached that was unoccupied. Hundreds went with no preparation for subsistence or shelter. The stampede reached and carried away very many citizens who had not before contemplated leaving their Kansas possessions for the uncertainties of tho opening of a new country. As the country along the line of the state crowded with tiie advancing crowds, tne cattle on tne strip stampeded, going madly anywhere to get out of the way, and communicating their crazy fear to such herds as they approached until a general stampede was on.

As the boomers reached the wire fences en closing the great pastures of the cattlemen's association they cut and destroyed them and in all directions the grass was fired, giving the landscape the appearance of a mad march of ocmons. All night the crowds came to the line and passed in possess the land, and during the succeeding days the crowds did not got much les. The trains of the Santa rFe railroad were crowded with men with spades and claim stakes as their only outfits, the most of them without anything provided to eat. Several small shanty towns were built dur ing the first twenty-four hours, at previously selected points, and stocks of provisions opened for sale, but supply was limited and prices paid accordance. Warned to Quit the Outlet.

Washington, D. March 18. The presi dent has issued the following notice: To Whom it May Concern: The lands known as the "Cherokee arc not opsn to settlement. The bill pending in congress and intended to provide a civil government for tiie country known as Oklahoma does not provide for opening the Cherokee strip or outlet to settlement, and has not, as yet, received the vote of the two houses of congress, or the approval of the president. The entrance of settlers upon these lands is unlawful, and all persons are hereby warned against entering thereon.

When these lands shall become open to set tlement, prompt public notice will be given of that fact, but in the meantime it is my duty to exclude all persons therefrom, and those who enter unlawfully will only involve themselves unprofitable trouble, as they will be immediately removed. Benjamin Haksison. Executive Mansion, March 15, 1890. military orders. Adjutant General Kelton has telegraphed General Memtt, at Fort Leavenworth, Kan sas, to use troops if necessary, and with prudence, as heretofore, to enforce the procla mation issued by the president relative to intruders unen the Cherokee strip lands.

This order is sent by the direction of the secretary of war. Kebillmg: nn Iniquitous Arrangement. Chicago, March 18. At the hearing before Interstate Commerce Commissioners Morri son and Veazey, Chairman Midgeley, of the southwestern division of the Western Freight association, was on the stand. He said through rates on grain from Missouri river points to Chicago and New York were rea sonable, and were lower than ever retore.

The rate sheets were arranged to make the through rate by way of St. Louis atout equal to the througii rate by way of Chicago, but the rating of anything was fasvorable to the latter city. Chairman Walker, in questioning the wit ness, cited the case of the buyer in Kansas City, who has elevator privileges ana goes west to Hutchinson, Kansas, to get his gram. Mr. Walker asked Mr.

Midgeley to explain. "It is billed to Kansas City on the local rates," was the reply, "and then is rebilled on the through rate, but the through rate price is divided and part is re'funded to the western roads, which are required to bear their shares in making tho through rate. I have always been opposed to rebilling, and consider it an iniquitous arrangement." Into the Arms of the United States. Havana, March 18. The agitation in favor of the annexation of Cuba by the United States has at last reached a crisis.

The journals which have been opei7 and boldly advocating annexation, encouraraged apparently ty public sentiment and immunity from interference by the authorities, have received a warning which has checeked their utterances. La Torda, which has been conspicuous for its denunciation of the government and advocacy of independence or annexation, capped the climax last week by saying: "The Spanish government, by its disgraceful and ruinous administration of affairs in this island has done more than anything eLse to throw Cuba into the arms of the United States." The editor of the paper was arrested two days ago and is still in prison. Other journalists are now more cautious, but the agitation among the people is stronger than ever. Mrs. Judge Terry Tried and Discharged.

San Fbancisco, March 18. The trial of Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry, on a charge of contempt in resisting the United States marshal in the circuit court room in 1888, when that officer had been ordered to remove her from the room for creating a disturbance during the reading of a decision in the Sharp case by Justice Field, of the Unitad States supreme court, has been concluded. The jury, after remaining out all night, announced a disagreement, the vote standing eight 01 acquittal and four for conviction. Going Back to the Old Way.

Kansas City, March 18. The Kansas City, Fort Scott Memphis road has given notice to the other roads that it intends to abandon the weighing of live stock and return to the old method of shipping by car loads. The reason given by the road is that the railroad commissioners of both Missouri and Kansas ha been asked to endorse the weighing system, but have shown no disposition to do so. The matter was presented to the Kansas board in December cr January, but the board has not taken any action. The other roads will probably ta'ie like action.

Lsne Order Preventing Cattle 3Ien "rfm Occupying Gracing Laud on Any Indian Ileervation in the Territory. Bttl Hen Excited Tltelr Last Chance It no 1 Fmm Under Thena They Are AValclietl by Indian Agent and Would-be Settler. Kaxsas City, March 12. Immediately after the issuance of the president's proclamation ordering them to remove their cattle from the Cherokee strip they began to negotiate for leases on the several Yndian reservations in the territory. Some have consummated those leases and paid large sums of money to the Indians.

Now comes the following order from Commissioner Morgan with all its attendant horrors: "Department of the Interior, Office or Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C. "Sir You are advised by the president of the United States by proclamation, dated February 17, 1889, that he had directed the removal of cattle and other live stock from the Cherokee outlet lands, said removal to take place not later than October 1 next, and so much sooner as said lands or any of them may be or became lawfully open to settlement by citizens of the United States. You are advised that the proclamation above referred to confers no authority upon any one holding cattle upon the said outlet to drive cattle uion any other Indian lands, and you are therefore directed to use every precaution to prevent cattle moving under the saftl proclamation from being driven upon lands under your jurisdiction, and if any such cattle shall be driven there you will turn them back and drive them from the reservation with the aid of your Indian police. In the event of your inability to prevent the invasion of the reservation by such intruding cattle you will promptly advise ti-iis department by wire.

You will also see that no attempt be made by any cattle men or others to negotiate with any of the Indians under your charge for the privilege of grazing cattle on any reservation or part of reservation under the jurisdiction of your agency. "You will keep close watch upon any cattle which may be moving toward the Indian lands under your charge, and promptly report by wire the presence of any intruding stock there. You will also use due vigilance to prevent the invasion of the reservation by and cattle infected with contagious disease, and if such cattle are driven upon the reservation you will have them herded and corralled in an isolated place and ask this office by wire for instructions. Very respectfully, I T. J.

Morgan, Commissioner. The following is the agent's order to one of the cattle men: "Indian Territory, March 8, 1890. "To Hon. II. G.

Williams: "Sir: I am authorized by the honorable commissioner of Indian affairs, dated Washington, March 5, 1890, to allow no arrangements to be made by any cattle men or others to treat with the Indians for lands for grazing purposes upon any reservation under my charge, and that if any at-temps are made to force cattle upon any of these reservations I shall at once instruct the police to drive the cattle off of the reservation. Signed D. J. M. Wood, "United States Indian Agent.

Hold on to Wheat. Washington, D. March 12. The statistical report of the department of agriculture for March relates to the distribution and consumption of corn and wheat. It makes the proportion of the corn crop in the hands of growers 45.9 per or 970,000,000 bushels, and of the wheat crop 31.9 per or 156,000.000 bushels.

The stock of corn on hand is the largest ever reported in March, of the largest crop after the mildest winter. The average of eight annual returns is bushels, that of last year, bushels. The estimated consumption to March 1, is 1,143,000 bushels, a figure exceed ed only last year and in 1886. The proportion of merchantable crop of 1889 is 85.7 per exceeded in recent years only by those of 1884 and 1888. The average value of all corn on the first of December was 28.3 cents per bushel.

The average on the first of March was 27.9 cents for merchantable, and 19.2 for unmerchantable, making an aggregate of value $35,000,000 less than the December estimate. The Wheat crop of 1889 was exceeded by the crops of 1880, 1882 and 1884. The average remainder in the hands of growers on the first of March for ten years pasthas been 130,000.000 bushels. The average crop during this period w-as 450,000,000 bushels. Most of the wheat in farmer's hands is in states which have no surplus over consumption, or in those in which much the larger proportion is consumed at home.

The six spring wheat states have only 45,000,000 bushels, 18,000,000 of which will be required for spring seed and the remainder is scarcely more than four months consumption of their population. Ohio, Michigan and Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, the only wheat states east of the Rocky mountains contributing to commercial distribution, have only bushels, half of which will be needed at home and part of the remainder is commercially unavailable( at present prices. It is seen therefore that the available supply for exportation and for home distribution for July is small. The depleted farm reserves have been meas-ureably filled except in a few states, but it will require the pressure of high prices to squeeze any considerable proportion of them into commercial distribution. NEW cnAKCELLOB.

The Board of Re rents Have Made a Choice. Lawrence, March 13. The board of regents of the state university have at last selected a chancellor. They have unanimously tendered the position to Rev. Dr.

C. F. Thwing, of Minneapolis, Minn. He arrived in this city to be present at the meeting of the regents, to discuss the matter with them and to look over the ground. The doctor has not yet accepted, but it is generally believed here that his formal acceptance will be received in a few days.

It is not however, that he will take charge until the close of the present school term. Dr. Thwing is pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church at Minneapolis. He has had no experience as a practical educator, having entered the ministry immediately after graduating from Harvard college. He was net an applicant for the chancellorship, but his me was first brought to the attention of the regents by the faculty of Harvard college by whom he was highly recommended as a man whom they regarded as particularly well fitted for a university president.

Since the resignation of Chancellor Lippin-cott nearly a year ago, the board of regents have at one time and another considered the names of a dozen or more gentlemen, none of whom were candidates, but all of whom had been well recommended. Among these were Dr. H. Bi Adams, of Johns Hopkins university; W. C.

Poland, of Brown university; Horatio White, of Cornell university; Rev. F. T. Ingalls, president of the Drury college of Missouri: Rev. Dr.

Franklin Johnson, of Boston; Prof. Palmer, of Harvard; Prof. Shorey, of Byrn Mawr. Prof. Chaplin, of Harvard: Prof.

J. H. Canfield and Prof. A. R.

Marsh, of the Kansas state university, and Hon. T. Dwight Thacher, of Topeka, Several ballots were taken at various meetings by the board, but they were unable to make a selection until recently. Fire in Topeka. Tofeka, March 12.

Sunday night a fire started in the "wetting down room," of the Kansas Newspaper Union printing establishment, the same room being used for roller casting. It destroyed a week's run of paper which was on the "bank," all roller-making apparatus, and many cast rollers all ready for shipment to customers. The fire got into the press room, destroying the wood work, belting, press blankets, etc, about the three biiz presses: but it is still hoped that the presses have not been spoiled. Over the press room are the composition, imposition and stereotyping departments. The two former suffered a complete spoiling of all the type there.

The stereotyping department was not seriously injured, and was in full operation Monday p. m. The office had a new dress taken from stock in the K. N. XT.

About 200 delegates attended the grand chapter of the order the Eartern Star at Lawrence, Kansas, opening on March 11. The fire which folio red the explosion in the English colliery has become so fierce that the parties who were searching for the dead have been compelled to withdraw from the mine.

Tippecanoe, aged 114 years, dropped dead at Philadelphia from dropsy of the heart.

Atchison, Kansas, women are striving to get control of the city school board in the spring election.

Their object is to relieve the teachers from the burden imposed upon them by the city superintendent by useless and impractical rules. Murat Halstead, the Cincinnati editor, is exerting his influence to make a new black state out of the Indian territory and Oklahoma.

At a meeting of the directors of the Jefferson Davis Land company at Jackson, $8,000 of the proceeds of the stock sold was turned over to the trustee for the benefit of Mrs. Davis.

It is thought that twice as much will be secured. The majority of the ways and means committee have switched olf from the sugar question, which has been troubling them for some time. They have split, so that it is likely that they will have to leave it to the house to decide how the question is to be treated. The London Times comments at length upon the selection of Chicago as the site for the world's fair, and says "that supremacy, social and commercial, which New York has always claimed, is challenged and woiild seem to have passed to its young rival in the west." The executive board of the Kansas Millers' association held a meeting in Topeka to bring their complaints before the interstate commerce commission. They object to paying 12 cents more on a barrel of flour to Texas and the southern market than the Texas millers have to pay on Kansas wheat to make a barrel of flour.

Mr. Petersi of Kansas, who is on the house committee oi appropriations, warns congress against reckless appropriations at this session. He says: We have inherited from the last administration deficiencies sufficient to wipe out every dollar of surplus during the next fiscal year. It is idle to advocate a measure on the ground that we have a 'plethoric treasury' upon which to draw. The facts will not bear out any such statement." All that part of the country lying east and south of Charleston, is almost ertirely submerged, the exceptions being natural and artificial mounds, upon which farmers and stock have taken refuge.

It is raining and the outlook is discouraging. The levee at Bird's Point, opposite Cairo, gave way, and all moveable railway property at that place was hastily transferred to Charleston, as was that of the Cotton Belt road, on which the trains are abandoned. Pennsylvania is the bulwark of conservative Presbyterianism. Without a single exception, the Presbyterians of that state have declared that the standards of the confession of faith that have stood for more than 200 years shall remain unchanged. The New York Presbyterians are almost as solidly opposed to the old standards.

Excepting the Long Island presbytery, the thirteen presbyteries that have voted on the question in that state have pronounced in favor of a revised and modernized confession of faith. The special world's fair committee of congress has completed its bill. It provides for a national commission, composed of two members from each state, nominated by the governors and appointed by the president, but an amendment has been added providing that the commissioners shall be divided equally between the two political parties. The government commissioners are to have control of the operation of the fair, the appointment of juries, distribution of awards, but the Illinois corporation (which is recognized in the bill) is to prepare the site, construct the building, and retain control of financial affairs. The rush into the outlet by thousands of land seekers who had congregated on the south line oi Kansas, and in Oklahoma, awaiting the time when they might go in and possess the land, which occurred March J.4 and 15, was precipitated by a mistake in tho dispatch to the press from Washington, sent out on the 14th, announcing the passage by the house of the Oklahoma territory bill.

It said that the bill declared the Cherokee outlet public land, subject to homestead entry, which it should have so said concerning the public lands known as No Man's Land. Ignorance of American geography by the people of the eastern cities, even by high officials of the government, is thus again illustrated. Hetter than Oklahoma, 1,200 acres of the choicest land in the San Luis Valley in Southern Colorado, all under fence, water-rights secured and ditches ready for use.
