BOOMERS IN WAITING. Tliere Is Jin Proclamation Order at Kt Reno—Delay Means Sturvatlon lo Oklahoma Walters. lit, RF.NO.O. T., April IB.—On Wednesday Gov. So ay caused to be given out a dispatch sent him by Secretary Noble that the proclamation to open the country on the 19th would be issued Thursday, and the crowds crushed against the train which arrived at noon anxious to read the ofticial document which had been looked for anxiously. But no proclamation appeared. Visions of postponements stalked abroad, and that means starvation to many, for a majority of them have not come prepared for any delay. Gov. So ay has notified his appointees to meet him at Guthrie to-day for the purpose of passing upon their bonds, so that they may assume their duties on the opening day. These appointees comprise a sheriff, a probate judge, a county clerk and three commissioners for each county. Nearly all have been named, and in a majority of cases they are Kansas and Oklahoma men.

As Marshal Graves has issued his order to the deputies admonishing them to cooperate with Col. Wade's command and the new authorities to maintain good order, to allow no gambling or liquor selling or the carrying of concealed weapons, the deputies are also warned against taking advantage of their office in making claims for home steads or town lots. If this order is carried out to the letter the new country will step into territorial line in full dress so far as morality is concerned.

Thursday morning Col. Wade issued an order dividing Troop K, stationed at Kingfisher, one-half under command of Lieut. Goldman going to a point near the northern section of county and near the southern line of the Cherokee strip. Lieut Goldman. who made a detour of the section, said that near the place where he would encamp there are 1,'2()0 boomers mostly from Kansas, and that they are the best class of boomers he has seen. He anticipates no trouble from them. All the foregoing movements indicate that the opening is close at hand.

Col. Wade is in hourly touch with each command on the field and from advices furnished by the officers he it of the opinion that uo movement to get closer to 'the line will occur until the day before the opening The heaviest invasion will be from the sputh up the Washita valley in counties and H. The next heaviest crush will be from the vicinity of El Ren6, Kingfisher and Hennessy. and these three towns are having a regular Chicago boom from the trade of the boomers whoso camps compass them about.

The settlers who are not fortunate enough to get land along the Washita and the two Canadian rivers will find a scarcity of wator at the very start, and continued residence will not make matters any better. What water there is is gypsum and cannot be used for any purpose whatever. Digging for water will afford no relief as the soil is impregnated with gypsmn. Even at Fort Reno there is no water for drinking and cooking purposes except what is brought from Caddo Springs. 25 miles away.

From the best sources of information received by Col. Wade there are now on tlie various borders of the new country 45.000 people. 110 per cent, of whom are living in wagons, tents and dng-onts. Seventy-five per cent, have staked their all on this invasion, and out of the 25,000 claims awaiting owners not more than 15,000 are lands worth having.

To Extcml the Free Postal Delivery. WASHINGTON*. April 16.—The senate has passed a bill appropriating $500,000 for the erection of an additional wing to the national museum in Washington a joint resolution appropriating S75.000 for the removal of the peace monument at the foot of Capitol hill and the erection of a statue of Christopher Columbus in its place: a bill extending the free delivery (now confined to towns of 5,000 inhabitants or WIOO annual postal receipts).

Mile* of Wheat Land Under Water. CilAltl.KSTON, Mo., April 15.—The backwater from tho Ohio and Mississippi rivers has covered miles of bottom land in Mississippi cpunty to a depth of from 1 to 10 feet. Farihers from the flooded districts state that a large amount of stock has perished in the water, and that much damage has been done to growing crops. Should it clear up and turn warm while the wheat is under water the crop will be a total loss.

Hcotch-frUh to Meet.

ATLANTA, Ga., April 15.—The fourth annual congress of the Scotch-Irish society of America will convene in this city on April 'J8 and remain in session three days. The Atlanta Scotch-Irish society is making great preparations for the event, and the indications are that the meeting will be the most interesting and the best attended in the history of the society.

WASHINGTON, April 15.---Inquiry in this city confirms the statement coming from Rome thai a complete and amicable settlement has been reached in the international difficulties between the 1'nited States and Italy, growing out of the New Orleans tragedy. It appears that the government of the 1'nited States has voluntarily taken the initiative in closing the breach, and without committing itself to the recognition of any claim for indemnity, but simply as an act of justice and from motives of comity, has placed in the hands of the Marquis Imperiali. the Italian charge d'affaires here, the sum of 125,000 francs, or S'5,000. for distribution among the heirs ol the three Italians who were1 killed ut New Orleans and who were found to be subjects of the! Italian government. It is understood I the money was taken from the annual appropriation of ¥s(l,00l) to enable the: president to provide for unforeseen emergencies in the diplomatic and consulur service, so that it will lie unnee- I essary to call upon congress for a specific appropriation.

ItelullotiH to He K«KUtned.

lly this action on the part of the 1'nited States government the disa-j greeable complications in the relations of the two govtM'nmeiits, it is believed, have l»'cn removed! and within a short time the di-1 plomatie relations between the two I countries will be restored to the amicable status existing before the New Orleans tragedy. Minister -Porter returning to Rome and a minister from Italy taking up his post at Washington.

A Purelifti Keport.

LONDON. April 15.—A dispatch "received here from Rome says that a series of notes hail passed between Mr. lilaine. the American secretary oi state, and Marquis Imperiali. Italian cha ge d'affaires at Washington, resulting in a settlement ol the differences between Italy and the United States growing out ol the lynching of Italians at New Orleans. According to this dispatch Marquis Imperiali has advised the Italian government that he has received from the United States government the sum of SI5.000 for the families of the victims.

A Note from Htalnc.

This money, the marquis adds, was accompanied by a note from Secretary Blaine in which he declared that although the wrong was not committed directly by the United States the latter nevertheless feels its solemn duty in the premises. The note adds that Mr. Blaine declares that he feels great pleasure that the nation should pay to Italy a satisfactory indemnity. In consequence of these instructions given to Mr. Itlaine by President Harrison the latter hopes that the arrangement will end the unfortunate Incident: that the former good relations between the two countries will be firmly reestablished and that nothing in the future will occur to disturb such relations.

Imperial)'* Iteply.

In his note replying to Mr. Blaine's communication a Marquis lmper-, taii says that Italy lias already with pleasure noted the terms in which President Harrison referred to the matter iu his message at the opening of congress. The marquis further says that Italy considers the indemnity sufficient without prejudice to anyactions at law that may be brought by the aggrieved 1 parties. He also expresses flu* hope that the payment of tho indemnity will result in the happy reestablishment of relations between the. two governments. 1'or a National Organisation.
