Fairest 1 iehls to Bring Forth Milk and Eonef Barbwired and Trampled by Cloven Hoofs—Unlawful Locations. Cowboys’ Petition. Lawrence, Kan., March 7.—Capt. Couch has left Arkansas city. Capt. Payne was the Moses who for five years attempted to enter the promised land. It remains to be seen whether Capt. Couch, his suc< ssor, will prove a Joshua to possess the land. The or ganization is certainly becoming powerful in numbers. The original Payne colony has 10,- 000 members. They are not all active mem bers and ran not ail be summoned at the bu ble’s blast to the banks of the Cimarron, but they all have their eyes on Oklahoma—the home of the red man. Auxilliary societies are formed all through western Missouri and lowa, while in southern Kansas there is •carcely a town that has not an Oklahoma Company. It is growing with a regular Pike’s Peak excitement, and beats the Black Hills furor in its early stages. What gives intensity to the enterprise of Settling Oklahoma is the firmly established belief that the controversy has become a mere contest between cattlemen and settlers, between a cattle syndicate composed of a few individuals who want a million of acres of land each to graze cattle upon and the settlers who want a home of 160 acres each for his family. The ignorance or something worse of United States senators concerning the question in dispute is astounding. For in stance, the labored effort to p;iss the amend ment to the sundry civil service bill looking to negotiations for the surrender of Indian rights to the lands, said the Okla, homa lands were not surveyed or sectionized. The corner stones of every section in Okla homa can be found if the cattlemen have not removed them, for the settlers have not, and the Indians have not disturbed them, for there have never been any Indians on the lands. Senator Vest’s views are very pecu liar. He claims to be in favor of the occu pancy of these vast tracts of unoccupied lands by thrifty farm and home settlements, but he holds that the Indians have rights that forbid such settlement. It has been published time nnd again that HO cattlemen were allowed in the Oklahoma Country, but that statement should be re called in the light of the testimony brought out recently by the senate committee on in vestigation, when it was confessed i hat S retary Teller had allowed the cattleme graze upon the lands, but would confii r make no leases or pasturage righte ther .. Capt. Couch was up this section the other day, and in reply to the question whether the cattle corporations were claiming the Inals, said: “Ob, yes I I can give you the names of many cattle companies occupying the lands, and Li ut. Day will bear me out in what I say. I will name some from memory: “Berry Brothers have over 2iX),000 acres under leDce, two good log houses, stables, cribs and a hugtight rail fence inclosing 300 acres. “P. I i ke and Martin have over 100,000 acres as a range, and with 100 acres fenced for aht i < pasture; good log house, stable, crib, corral*, etc. Gen. Hatch stayed all night there the night previous to his coming to arrest us at Stillwater. “The McClellan cattle company—they leased about 400,000 acres from the Cherokees and then extended their wire fence so as to take in 1 'X).(XX) acres of the government land of Oklahoma. They have two ranches, with houses, stables, etc., on the Oklahoma part. Their fence takes in the settlement of Still water, from which the colonists were driven. This fence on Oklahoma was ordered taken down by the g< >vernment at one time. A del egation of cattle men at once went to Wa -h --gington and secured a stay of the work. Ties 3 orders from the department are what wo call in the colony ‘the discriminatin orders.’ “The Wyeth cattle company have over 100,- 000 acres fenced. They claim a range of over 400,000 acres, where they ride the lines. They have three ranches on the Oklahoma soil. “Fitzgerald Brothers claim a range of 100,- 000 acres. Non •ofit is fenced. They ride it. “Horsford Brothers have a radge of 100,000 acres. They ride the range. “Ewing (I don't know wh -ther it is a com pany or not) has a large range, ranches and permantmll m 1 >r«.> v emeuts. “Hew ins/k Titus—l don't know how much they claim, but it is over 100,000 acres. Will lams Brothers have 200,000 acres fenced near Red Fork The fence extends across the Cim arron, thirty miles northeast of Fort Reno. “The standard oil company Las a large range and many thousands of cattle just south of Williams Brothers. The brand of the com pany is O. J. L. “Col. B. H. Campbell, of Wichita, is located with his range just south of the oil company, on the Cottonwood. His brand is a bar, B and a and he is known down there as “Barbecue Campbell” The range is an open one. “J. fS. Anderson, on Deer Creek, has a log house and other improvements, and he put up a large Quantity of hay last summer. “Butler & Co., on the North Canadian, have several thousand h« ad of cattle. “The Belle Plaine cattle company, organ ized at Belle Plaine by Forney, Meeker and others. They have a range on Deep Fork. I don’t know the names of the firms south of this last-named range, but I know y< can not take a bunch of cattle upon the Ok.< »oma land.;; it is all occupied, and the occupants Will so inform you.” The Cowboy’s Petition. Hunnewell, Kan., March 7.—Every body is discussing the all-absorbing topic of Oklahoma and the boomers. Col. E. 8. Wil cox says the boomers will hardly start to Oklahoma in a body until next Monday, on account of the bail roads and awaiting the outcome of the trial at Wichita. Col. Wilcox leaves for Wichita in response to the war rant served on him by United States Deputy Marshal Rarich, of Arkansas City. The cowboys have become clamorous for the opening of the territory on accounts of the wrongs they have recently suffered from the cattle companies. The ranch of D. A. Constable, about forty miles from this place, has been abandoned by the cowboys, or herd ers, and his outfit, with other cowboys of the territory, held a meeting here and discussed the situation, and prepared the following pe tition for presentation to President Cleve land: •*To his Excellency Grover Cleveland, President of the United States: “The undersigned citizens of the United States would respectfully represent that, liv ing here upon the body of the Cherokee strip, and the lands known as Oklahoma, and to many of the undersigned the said tracts of land being as familiar as our fathers’ cow partures at home, being employed as herders •r cowboys for different ranches, both on the u rip and in Oklahoma, for several years, vl know whereof we speak, when we say ; ytt many cattle, horses, sheep and hogs are Ldd in inclosed pastures fenced by barbed both on thq strip.. and in Oklahoma; 7tur. ■ nun mi uier, much or safd territory is capa ble of being cultivated, being rich land, well watered and wooded, the major part of which has been and is now occupied by cattlemen, having ranch buildings, occupied winter and summer by employes engaged in caring for sai stock. These are not molested by troops. Settlers have repeatedly undertaken to move upon these lands, and have been as repeatedly expelled by the military, their leaders ar rested and dragged to Forts Berio and Smith, ostensibly for trial, charged with the gravest crimes, and having been as re peatedly released, without rial, and left without means, to get home the best they could, all these arrests be ing made by arbitrary military order, con trary to the genius of our government. Bo lieving, as we do, that the civil authority is the highest in our land, and has so far never been invoked, we respectfully ask your ex cellency to revoke the present military order and cause civil arrests if necessary, to be made, to the end that the proper civil tri bunals may decide the question of the status of these lands. We believe your excellency speaks the language of our tribe and, as cow boys, we believe in a square deal every time. Dated al Hunnewell, Summer county, Kan., this 4th day of March, 1885.” A military courier, presumbly from Ar kansas City, arrived in town and was imme diately closeted for about an hour with the cattlemen who were in the city. What the conference meant no one knows, as the cattle men are very reticent and refuse to speak on th •,!?’■> ■ t. . courier est for Caidwell immediately alter the caucus adjourned. Prize Fight Stopped. Chicago, March 7.—Seven hundred per sons were assembled at Forty-fourth and Halstead streets to see a four round glove fight between William Brail burn and Wil liam O’Hara, both of the tewn of Lake. In the first round Bradburn rushed at O’Hara and fought him all over the ring. Science was forgotten and slugging of the hardest kind was witnessed until the end of the round, when both men took their seats, badh windcl, In the second round they went at i with renewed earnestness an l hammered each other with a degree of brutality that considerabty excited the audience. Capt. Severing, of the Lake force, seeing that the men were fighting for al] they were worth, stepped over the ropes and stopped the con test, the and’'nee venting its an r er at this proceeding n derisi e yells.

COLUMBUS. GEOKGIA, SUNDAY 1 > OUN h MARCH 3. 18S5. LINES ABOUT LAMONT. MR. CLEVELAND’S SECRETARY AN ADROIT POLITICIAN. Other Men Who Have Served in a Slinilat Capacity Under Former President*. Table Showing the Use of the Pro noun "I” in Addresses. Washington, March 7.—One of the most noticeable men about Cleveland is bis private secretary. The reason why he is specially noticeable is because he is credited with hav ing so much influence with the president elect. Ordinarily the private scer Curies to the presidents do not, rank high so far as in fluence is concerned. It is generally supposed by the public that the private secretary is an official whose principal duties consist in pro tecting the president from importunate and unimportant calle s. Butin reality the av erage private secretary in the white house has very little to do outside of the routine found in managing the correspondehce of the executive mansion. Public men who go to see the president are not inclined to spend much time with middle men, however tal ented they may be. Senators, leaders of the house and diplomatic people, when they go see the president, always insist on a personal audience. Prominent polite ians, when they come here from their states, are not fond of being kept waiting in the private secretary’s room. There has lieen, however, no private secretary who has come to the white house for many years who has had the wide polit ical experience of Col. Lamont. He possesses Cleveland’s confidence to a remarkable degree. He has l>een his close adviser and has for a long time been taken into his confidence. At Albany, however, the situation is much different from that at Washington. There Lamont was practically Cleveland's only advisor. Here Cleveland has seven counsellors—five of whom are very prominent, influentia’ n. In addition to these counsellors the democratic leaders in k-orh houses will have access to him nnd will insist upon giving him advice. No president can escape this uiile.s m- should cut loose fro a his pts ty. No president would drean of doing tout un.ess impeded by very extra ordinary circumstances. Tyler, who cut loose from his party, thought he could form a ne v party, not realizing tL-.t, parties are not r -ado by poli ticians, but by the people. Johnson got out with the pc. tha'v i< <: fl him. The only result that 10l iowed was nn absolute loss of influence. An t»:L fl:iis ; r. tion t .at hopes' to accomplish practical results must stand well with the people that cumri ;utod to its elec tion. ft is understood here that some of the dem v. r< p int t:ic avenue rciorm ele mental very much opposed to the Tilden i.. -nee Li lie new u'hmnisl.-»t : n. These gentlemen have a prej :•; • against Col. La i. jo it on account of his former cone oction • a Tilden and became it is believed li • lias confidential relations. It’s a prejudice that may l>e very easily disixjsed of, as that tht new private secretary is a very diploe a tic and adroit politician, who Las mucii more skill iwcreatiiig friends than the a. erage met of liis age. He does not bcLeve in making needless enemies. His present position is one tn t wiii. try his ability. If he can maintain hisin'lu- i:e and cluse relations wiih th< president in the face of the counter inflfiencet that will surround Cleveland here it will show t La s 11 if.s very marked ability as a politician and diplomatist. The outgoing private secretary, Phillips, was Mr. Arthur’s private secretary wh.-u he was in the custom house in New Yota. He was appointed his private secretary wh< Arthur became vice president, lie followe ; the Litter to the white house. He is u very amiable, carefully-dressed young man. wh< is fond of club life and of going out in society lie L jtiws no..di:, , he »ever, about p ■. and has <.ud no more to do with me politi cians and no more upon the white hoiv-v , >1 icy than if he had been a clerk in a Uupari menk lie LuS been simply a pri»ate secre tary and nothing more. His pi ■<’.? -*s■, J. Stanley Brown, was originally u. c.. jk m .k geological survey. He was a very young fel low and received in the department a saiarj of about SIOO per month. He was value I there because he was industrious and was « skillful shorthand writer. Hayes’ private secretary was the cheapest figurehead that was ever appointed in tht white house,. He was a bankrupt commis siom merchant out in Minnesota. Onci heard him say that, he did not know where t turn for five dollars when Hayes picke. him up on account of certain business re lations that they had some years previous ir Ohio. Roger was a thrifty individual, how ever, and feathered his nest very well whrih in the white house. He picked up so much information relating to the French and Amer ican claims that he was able to go into a ven good practice before the commission hen when he left the white house. Judge David Davis used to say that tin salary of this position ought to be $6,000 oi $7,000 a year, so that the president could se cure the services of a man capable of taking nearly all of the detail work of the adminis tration off his hands. It is possible that Col Lamont’s administration of office will resul in the salary of the jxisition being raised, foi it is genei-ally conceded that his services would be cheap at double the salary that i. now paid.

Mr. Adams’Policy With the Union Pacific —Resig.tatfonfl. t Capitol, Washington, March 7.—The ’ senate in executive session has confirmed the nomination of the cabu .1 officers, and then adjourned until Monday. New York Clearing House. * New York, Marc!; 7 —The clearing house -1 has issued an important pamphlet on the sil -1 ver question. In reciting the action of con l gross in refusing to discontinue silver coinage - it pointe it out as dangerous to trade and i ' commerce of an overplus of silvor in the cur ■, rency, and say’s while silver will not be re > fused by the clearing house from the sub . treasury, it will not be paid out, except to j precise banks for whom it is intended, and , banks as among themselves will make the ex i ' changes in gold. The document goes on to . approve of Mr. Cleveland’s utterances on the ■ | silver question, and expresses the hoj>e that ) i the administration will be in the I 1 light of those ideas, with a wise discretion [ where it is possible that it will result in the J least necessary disturbance of the finances and ’ prosperity of the country. Senate. Washington, March 7.—ln the senate Mr. ( Van Wyck offered a resolution calling upon ; the secretary of the interior for information i as to the issue, on the 3d inst., of land patents for lands granted to aid in the construction ' of the New Orleans and Pacific railroad, for ' the forfeiture of which lands the bill was I then pending in congrees. Mr. Edmunds objected, and the resolution went over. Mr. Hoar asked to have printed the letter I from Charles Francis Adams in relation to the affairs of the Unioh Pacific railroad, in ' connection with the possible legislative action of next winter. Ordered printed. The senate on motion of Mr. Edmunds went into executive session. No Opinion. Columbi’S, 0., Marc.if .—Mr. Thurman ’ was asked if he had expressed his opinion on ; toe new cabinet unfavorably. He replied that he had said nothing on the subject and had no opinion to give. ‘ Washington Notes. Washington, Maith 7.—William R. Mor rison has arrived here and will put in the time between now and Sunday looking after ( private interests. Hu said to a correspon dent that there were no new developments in the senatorial struggle in Illinois and the question was only between 8‘- or Logan 1 and himself. While he was t a dele- ‘ gation from the Cook coun 'icratic club approached with a pap -rmg the ’ name of one of the members i;r a position, ; and Mr. Morrison’s indorsement was asked to the paper. Mr. Morrison will remain in Washington until next Sunday when he will ; return to Illinois to give his personal super-. vision to the canvass. 1 Hlinois republicans now in the city say the i presence of Representative Morrison here at ' this time is an ill omen for the democrats in the senatorial contest now progressing in Illi nois. They represent that he has abandoned all hope of being the successor oi Senator ! Logan without the interposition of the new ' admimstra.ion, and that he has had a confer ence with Mr. Cleveland, and doing all he j can to secure the influence of the executive, ’ and that unless it is promised, Mr. Morrison will not return to the capital of his state to ' conduct his senatorial campaign. Repn- - • ; )t o .tjve Thomas of Illinois, has just received orma< ion from Springfield that, Senator L< >gan is confident of re-election. Mr. Thomas believes the dead-lock will be broken , with Logan in victory. The letter from Charles Francis Adams, president of the Union Pacific railroad, was presented in the senate by Mr. Hoar, ad dressed to that senator and dated February ' 9. In it Mr. Adams discusses the policy <>i congress towards the Pacific roads, and re gards that pursued of late years as economi cally a faulty one. He thinks it is not to the interest of the government or people to force the Union Paaific to take annually these large sums out of its capital and lock there up in the overflowing vaults of the national treasury, while six states and four ■ territories are demanding additional: railroad facilities which would add to the traffic and income of the company. This policy, he suggests, takes from the company and the community just so much fructifying capital that is really needed to promote the in terests of both. In view cf the previous action of cong; he regards his views as dissented from, and reviews the course the bill haa taken since its introduction, and thinks its present status is the best plan proposed tc carry out the wishes of congress, and accepts the senate judiciary’ bill and says he company will loyally live up to it to ths best of its ability. In conclusion he refers tc statements made in tha senate and in varioui newspapers that Gould was the controlling power, and he (Adams) but a figurehead, set up for the purpose of carrying out Gould’s schemes. ‘ Such, he says, was not the case. He was not Gould’s choice for president Gould is consulted as one of the directon only, as any other member of the board. Hs wishes to be held solely responsible for ths management of the road. Senator Garland has telegraphed his resig nation to the governor of Arkansas. He ha* notified Mr. Hendricks of his acceptance o the attorney generalship. Mr. Bayard and Mr. have notified the president of their accepts nee of the stats and interior portfolios respectively, and will forward their resignations from their posi tions now occupied, by wire. This was another lively and busy day al the whi:. • The president breakfasted early and nu.nefliatelg turned his attention tc his immense mail. At 9 o’clock he began to receive privileged callers, but the public wat not admitted. Senators and members and their friends constituted the majority of those received. Among the callers were Gen. Hancock, Senators Garland and Jonas, and delegations from the military and civic or ganizations. The calls in almost every in stance were simply to pay resj>ects, and uc , business or appointments were discussed. At 8 o’clock in the afternoon the doors of the mansion were opened to the public and hun : dreds were afforded an opportunity of seeing i the ure sident Slugging Sluggers. New York, March 7.—Before fifty people in a private room Jimmy McHugh and Jack ; 3oylan fought nine very hard rounds with ' ' small gloves. In the earlier part of the fight McHugh took a strong lead, but at the end of the third round Boylan had got the measure of his man and hit him every time. They countered mutually on the nose and mouth, drawing blood in streams. From this , point out Boylan gradually wore his adver sary down and when they were called up for ; the tenth round McHugh refused to go on, and Boylan was adjudged the winner. DOGGED DUELISTS. Kentuckians <h» Lfie<*tive .shooting Over the <:ho»t of a Dog. Lawrenceburg, March 7.—Win. B. Cor bin ami John H. iaines, of Gainesville, Boone county, Kv , at “Grant” in that county, south of here, and alx»ut five miles back from the river, happened to meet. It appears that a cause of quarrel existed which had resulted from the shooting, by an employe of Gaines, of a dog belonging to Corbin. Both wi re young mon. Corbin de manded some sort of satisfaction from Gaine* for the killing of ’be animal, which the latter refused to go Hot words ensued, the fatal lie passed, .1 uoth drew their revolversand began firing at short range.

Before doing so, however, he lodged three balls in the body of his antago nist, who was taken to a house near by, where an examination showed his injuries to lx? fatal. Ho died. There were a few persons present at the affray, which was so suddenly inaugurated as to preclude the possibility of interference. They were chiefly concerned in taking themselves out of range. Corbin was the son-in-law of Eueas Barrett, junk dealer, of Cincinnati, and well known here. BOILER EXPLOSION. Three Missing, Twelve Injured and One Killed Instantly. Wilmington, N.

Y., March 7. —While on a visit to the convent o the sacred heart, at Ken wood, several weeks ago, President Cleveland requested that the sch> larsbe given a holiday on his inauguration day.

Y., March 2, 1885. ’ “Dear Mother O’Rorke: I send by my good friend, Mr. McCall, something which I hope will cause the J tie ones at the convent to know that while they are thinking of me they are not forgotten by the man who, in the midst of their holiday, is undergoing the most perplexing ordeal that his life can bring to him. With many kind thoughts of you and all the good people at Kenwood, I am yours faithfully, Grover Cleveland.” A .Member Assaulted. Raleigh. N. C., March 7.—A sensation was caused here by an assault uj>on the mem ber of the legislature from Buncombe county, Richard Pearson, sou of the late chief justice of the state. It is the first time such a thing has ever occurred in this state. The assault was made here on the principal street by R. Y. McAdin, a wealthy railroad man and mill owner of Charlotte, as Pearson was on his \.ay ii .a L.iuc.ijitei uj his hotel. Pearson’s nose was broken and he is confined to his bed. Members of the house are indignant over the affair, and that body has adopted a resolu lion by a vote of 85 to 5 that a committee be appointed to investigate and report what steps are necessary to vindicate the dignity of the house and the rights of its members. A Late Reward. Bridgeport, Conn., March 7.—A fortune of $20,000 was recently left by a resident of the West indies, who was formerly a pupil in school here to the man who saved him from drowning, when a boy, thirty-seven years ago.

Ottawa, Out., March 7.—The duties on fish and fish products which come into effect on the Ist of July this year appear to be misunderstood.
