Then Major Burke, the hotel manager, told the witness to let the man go; that he had done nothing. He did so, but was sorry when he learned whoso nose had been pulled.

Satisfactory Work of the Fish Commission. Washington, April 12. No department of the scientific wrrk conducted under gov ernmental auspices shows better or more satisfactory returns than that of the fish commission. The fish commissioner of Arizona has written to Commissioner Mc Donald that Indians have caught shad in the Colorado river in that Territory within the past few weeks, of a size that amply re pays them for the labor and time involved. The first deposit or planting of frv in that river was made three years ago, and has been followed by a new one everv year since. Lake Utah, in the territory of that name, has also yielded satisfactory re turns from a planting made only year before last. One of the oflicials of the com mission states that reports from San Fran cisco are to the effect that shad, tho product of Eastern fry planted in the waters of Cal ifornia, are plentiful in the markets of that city, and at reasonable prices.

Assistant Secretary Bussey to-day rendered an Important pension decision in the caso of Nancy Brooks, mother of Isaac D. Brooks, late private Company H, Sixth Ohio Volunteers. While the soldier was bathing in Wheeling creek, near West Virginia, July C Xtt ho drowned. Tho application

was rejected upon the ground that the death of the soldier had no direct connec

tion with his military duty. Assistant Secretary says: I am of the opinion that the soldier was acting in accordance with, and iu furtherance of the regulations of the service and the orders of his superior officers requiring hlin to Keep nimseix in a cleanly condlt'on, and the season of the year rendered bathing In the creek the most natural, reasonable and practicable method of complying with these orders. Unless it appears, tnereiore, mat tne somier met his death by drowning, under such circumstances, by reason of his own contributory negligence, or reckless conduct, he would, in my opinion, unquestionably be in the lino of duty. There being no evidence of t his character, the former decision, rejecting the claim, is reversed and the pension allowed. Bond Purchases. Washington, April 12.

After the Mary left Detour for this port, Wednesday, the whole force counected with the Canada-bound expedition was put to work sawing: ico to release the fleeing craft and their plunder, knowingthe Mary would report their condition and an attempt be made to capture them in American waters. The pursuing tug Saugatuck, with officers and men, which went from here yesterday, returned at 3 o'clock this morning. 13y the time tho pursuers had overtaken the fugitives, last night, the latter had sawed their way through the ice into Canadian waters, and there defied the pursuers.

APOLIGY OF EXTERMINATION

Mr. Stuart and Mr. Parnell Put Some Pointed Questions to Secretary Balfour, Which Are Quietly Ignored by That Official, and His Irish Policj Is Denounced by Lord Harconrt as One of Extcrminati,i. Sir Charles Russell Concludes His Argument in the Times-Parnell Case, And Is Very Warmly Congratulated by Justice HannenGeneral Impression that the Newspaper Is Certain to Be Defeated. BALFOUR'S POLICY. lie Avoids Pointed Questions Put to nim by Stuart and Parnell. Lodox, April 12.In the House of Commons, this evening, Prof. James Stuart (Gladstonian), member for Iloxton, asked Mr. Balfour whether the circular sent to the Irish police, directing them to furnish information as to the doings of tho league, was designed to aid the Times in its case before the Parnell commission. Mr. Balfour replied that he had made it a rule to neither admit nor deny any allegation that might be made in regard to alleged secret circulars. Mr. Parnell demanded that the Chief Secretary make a straight answer to the question put to him. Mr. Balfour's refusal to explain implied that explanation involved something he was ashamed of. Theuso made of the circular, he continued, proved that the government were not neutral toward the commission, but were prosecutors behind the Times. Mr. Parnell also referred to the use of battering rams to force evictions in Donegal. He protested that theiruse was not only an act of cruelty, but of barbarity. Mr. Balfour, ignoring Mr. Parnell's demand for a straightforward answer to Mr. Stuart's question, said that the use of battering rams was necessary, as the persons to be evicted had, in almost every case, erected within their doors an elaborate barricade with intent to hinder the officers of tho law in performance of their duty. Sir William Vernon-Harcourt described the policy of Mry-Balfour as one of extermination. The government's remedy to alleviate the sufferings of the Irish tenants was to level the houses of the poor people to the ground, Mr. Uoschen declared that the Parncllites were responsible for the existing state of affairs. The evictions occurred, not because the tenants could not pay their rent, but because they would not. It seemed to him that Ilarcourt preferred that the heads of the police should be battered rather than that the doors of tenants' houses should be opened upon tho demand of the law. TTIE PARNELL C03EUISSION. Sir Charles Russell Concludes Ills SpeechFavorable Outlook for the Parnellltes. Loxdox, April 12. Upon tho opening of the session of the Parnell commission, this morning. Sir Charles Russell resumed and concluded his speech in defense of the Parnellites. He undertook to show the money 'Mr. Parnell gave Byrne, which the prosecu tion alleged was given for tho purpose of enabling Byrne to escape, was meant by Mr, Parnell to be used for the ordinary purposes of the National League, and that Mr. Parnell did not know that Byrne was in peril of arrest. The court, Sir Charles said, in concluding his speech, was trying tho history of , the Irish revolution. He asked that fair and generous consideration be given. If prosperity was returning to Ireland, thankK be to God! Bnt affairs were unhealthy in that country where the people considered the imprisoned members of the House of Commons beroes and martyrs. Sir Charles declared that ho did not speak merely as the advocate of the accused members of the House of Commons, but for the land of his birth, and, he believed, in the best interest of England. The inquiry which was intended to be a curso had been a blessing. It had been designed for the purpose of ruining one man, but had proven the means of his vindication. In his peroration, which lasted half an hour, Sir Charles Kussell said: 'In opening our case. I 6aid that we represented tho accused. Tne positions are now reversed. The accused sits there (pointing with indignant scorn at Mr. Waiter and Mr. Macdonald, of the Times). This inquiry will not only vindicate individuals, out it will remove all misconception of the character, action and motives of tho Irish people and their leaders. It will set earnest, honest minds to thinking, and will hasten true union, and' effect a true reconciliation. It will dispel the weighty cloud that has darkened the history of a noble race and dimmed the glory of a mighty empire." At the conclusion of the speech, Mr. Gladstone and other friends warmly congratulated Sir Charles Kussell, Mr. Parnell and Mr. Davitt. There was a sensation in the court-room when Sir Charles concluded his speech. It is tho general opinion of his hearers that he never spoko better. When Sir Charles had finished. Presiding Justice Hannen passed a note to him in which he said: "I congratulate you. Your speech was a great one. ana wortny or a great occasion." The Archbishops of Dublin and Cashel will be among the witnesses who will testi fy for the defense. Upon the conclusion of to-day's proceed incs the court adiourned until Anril SO. Russell's peroration was intensely dra matic. JJunng the delivery 01 his last senfences he was choked with emotion, and many of his passages were inaudible even to the court. Presiding Justice liannen's face was Hushed with excitement as he handed down his congratulatory note to the speaker, and his whole expression and demeanor betrayed his admiration of the orator, if not his sympathy with the sentiments of the oration. Sir Kichard E. Webster. Attornev-cen-eral. on reading the Justice's note congratmating air unaries upon his speech, exclaimed: 'Of course; ho we all think." The general belief is the Times's case is completely demolished, and that it only remains for the Parnellites to bring the proceeoings to a speeuy close. THE BOULANGER CASE. The French Senate Takes All Preliminary Steps for Beginning tho Trial. Paris, April 12. When the Senato met to-day the President read tho decree con stituting that body a tribunal for the trial of Gen. Boulanger, Count Dillon and M. Rochefort. The procureur-general, Quesnay de Bauer Paire, then read statements setting forth the grounds upon which the prosecution of the accused is based. "When the reading was concluded the Senate went into secret session and the public withdrew. The trial of Gen. Boulanger and his associates was then formally becun. Tho Senators had been requested to appear in evening aress ior vuo occasion, inis request was ignored by the members of tho flight, all of wuoin wore irock coats. 1 ho members of the left were attired in evening dress and wore white carvats.

Ho declares that the trial is a revolutionary measures and a defiance of universal suffrage. Senatbr Leon Kenault will abstain from participation in the trial. A: motion from the Right declaring that there wta no ground lex a judicial inaiixx

into the conduct of Boulanger was rejected by a vote of 209 to 56. t The Senate then resolved, by a vote of 210 to 55, to proceed immediately with his trial. The doors were re-opened and the public session was resumed. M. Lerdyer read the decree authorizing the Senate to sit as a court and directing, the trial to proceed. Several members of the Right refused to accept a seat on the Senate committee. Marshal Canrobert, in an excited speech, said he would never be a party to the prosecution, on such frivolous crounds, of a 5eneral who had well served his country, he sitting was a stormy one. The spectators were apathetic. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Russian Papers Maintain Silence as to the Rumored Attack on the Czar. Loxdox, April 12. The report that an attempt has been made to assassinate the Czar has been neither contradicted nor confirmed, but it is remembered that tho attempt to kill the Emperor and family by. blowing up the railway train at Borki was not officially reported until the details had been known all over Europe, outside of Kussia, for a fortnight, and consequently, in the absence of all official infonnation about the present attack, the report is widely credited. The general features upon which all the re ports agree are that on Sunday last a dynamito bomb exploded within the imperial palace at Uatscmna; tnat his Majesty was injured, and that an officer of the guards was wounded at the same time. The reports were sufficiently credited yesterday to cause a general depression in tne conti nental markets. In Berlin and Vienna the effect on the bourse was especially marked, and tho continued silence of St. Petersburg causes lurtner uneasinoss. Not a Popular Man in Germany. Berlin, April 12. The Cologne Gazette advises President Harrison to reconsider the nomination of Mr. Bates to be a commissioner to the Samoan conference. It says: "In Enrope it is not the custom of a political agent, previous to his departure on a mission, to announce to the world in a newspaper, as Mr. Bates did, his views on disputed, questions with which he is about to deal in a diplomatic capacity. Tho Americans, however, have away or their own in diplomatic matters, and the old world will have to get accustomed to tho ways of the new world." Practically Banished from Court. Berlin, April 12. Baron Hofner, a major in Hank's regiment of the second division of tho Imperial Guards at Berlin, has been transferred to a line regiment upon a moment's notice. This action practically amounts to the liaron's banishment from the court. Hofner has the reputation of possessing an ungovernable temper, and it is related of him that on held day, in 1887, he pierced the breast of a private soldier with his sword in a ht of anger. Ihe affair created a sensation in army circles at the time, but it was promptly and effectually hushed. Honors In Store for the Explorer. London, April 12.

Stanley to England, he will be naturalized as a British subject, forsaking his American adoption. and that the government will confer upon him higher honors than have ever before been conferred, upon a journalist or an explorer, which two professions Stanley combines.

THE BUSn FOR OKLAHOMA

Tho Border Is Black with People Anxious to Enter and Locate Homesteads. Everything Indicates that the New Territory Is an Excellent Place to Staj Away From Valuable Land Office Information. Wichita, Kan., April 12. Major Barker arrived hero last night from Oklahoma, and reports that the soldiers are not equal to the task of keeping the boomers out. They slip into the country and conceal themselves so effectually in tho woods that the scouts cannot find them. Every station on the Santa Fe road is guarded, and only those having permits are allowed to get off the trains. The Santa Fe has nearly completed the depot at Guthrie, and workmen are engaged on the . laud-ofiice building at Purcell. The border is black with boomers awaiting the opening of the country. Many of them are in very destitute circumstances. The Santa Fe road people say arrangements have been made to tiansport all who apply, and the Rock Island is pre paring to run a line of stages from its southern terminus into the Territory. Two immense rafts are being constructed here for the transportation of Hill's colony. They expect to float down the Arkansas, as the recent rains have swollen the river, and they can land within seven miles of the Oklahoma border. Others bave arranged, for relays of fast horses, which are expecteu 10 transport tnem to tne claims aireauy !.. i 1.1. v J a . : . . ciiunt-u. sjyviy huuiu-uuuuu nam uwi v iu& here is crowded, and the wagon caravans are passiug in an endless chain. A dispatch from Caldwell. Kan., Nays the city Council has directed Mayor Riley to write Gen. Merritt, commander at Fort Leavenworth, requesting him to permit Oklahoma boomers who are camped hereabout to move across the Cherokee strip to the northern line of Oklahoma territory before the 22d of April. All they want, the Mayor says, is an equal chance with tho crowd that will gro in from the south and west by the railroads. It will take the boomers here fully three days to cross the strip, which is sixty miles wide, while those who are massed along the southern and western lines can settle on the best claims witnin a few hours after the President's proclamation goes into effect. The Mayor also claims that there are a great many cowboys in the Territory on cattle ntnenes who will be at the north line promptly at 12 o'clock on the 22d, and, being mounted on fleet horses, will be able to secure the best locations. Besides, there is a class of boomers that has practicallydetermined to invade the territory within a few days. Their plan is to leave Caldwell in the night, slip past the troopers which are guarding the Bluff creek bridges, and then make for the timber in the strip by the shortest routes. Tbey are as well mounted as the United States cavalry and they do not fear capture. Captain Woodson, of the Fourth United States Cavalry, whose troops are guarding the Territory from invasion at this place, is said to favor the Mayor's plan. Thus far, however, h6 has rigidly enforced his orders from headquarters, and as a result, there is not a boomer wagon within a mile and a half of tho line. A few men have attempted to evade the patrol, but in every instance they were overhauled and brought back. If General Merritt declines to grant Mayor Riley's request, there is liable to be a good deal of trouble between some of tho boomers and tho troops. About a hundred of the former held a meeting in the bed of a dry creek near the Rock Island railroad bridge this afternoon, and after a great deal of discussion determined to move for Oklahoma on the night of April 18. They will leave their wagons and stock anl families here, to follow as soon as the military will let them move. "We have good horses," said one of the rebels, "and wo are not afraid of being caught. All we want is a fair start, and then yon can depend upon it that we will be in Oklahoma as soon as the city crowds that are going in on tho railroads." A dispatch from Milwaukee. Wis., says that a gentleman residing in that city has received a letter from his brother-in-law, who lives twelve miles from the Oklahoma border. The writer says that the President should have declared the territory open the day after the issuance of the proclamation, and continues: There were at that time within the neighborhood of Oklahoma enough waiting and anxious people to occupy Its every home. Many of them were the followers of the late Captain l)avid L. Payne, who labored so long and zealously to accomplish the work that the President's proclamation does. Many of theso men will be cutoff and ruined now. As it is, there are now in the neighborhood of this Territory, ready to move at a moment's notice, five times the number of people necessary to settle it, and every wagon road converging toward this point from Missouri, NeorasKa, Colorado, Texas, ana eisewiiere.is groaning under the burden of wagons. Everyone is going in the direction of Oklahoma, across lots when he can. And this is merely the van of the army that is to come, notwithstanding all reason and warning. The great mass of the wa iters have no desire to hang around tho frontier a day or two, so they will try to be on hand Just as the gate swings open. The result, as may reasonably be calculated, will be a never-ending series of petty but bloody battles, in comparison to which county-seat contests and race wars aro bnt sham fights. Another element is the Western rustler, who has been through the mill, been raised, as it were, on the county-seat tights and rocked upon the billows of land contests, lie does not care about homesteads, but he will be there. lie will be satisfied with a few of the best lots in all of the best towns, and he won't be satisfied unless he has them, lie doesn't want anything that involves trouble, but if trouble comes that is just what he has been looking for, and he will welcome it aa an old friend. In fact, the man who is now selling his farm or other property, and picturing to himself a quiet, peaceful home in Oklahoma, is the fellow that 1 am writing these lines for the man I want to wake up. I would tell him to come with theidea of staying, but with the means of returning. There is bound to be lots of trouble. The hundreds of Oklahoma boomers camped along the Walnut river, near Winfield, Kan., are rejoicing at the order of Secretary Noble allowing them to drive across the Cherokee strip before the 22d. Most of them will break camp here Wednesday next, to go into camp next on the border of Oklahoma. The final rush has set in, and every train brings in scores of men from all parts of of the country to await here the Oklahoma opening dav. The hotels and boarding-houses are full, and merchants are having a large trade in outfitting boomers. No less than five thousand strangers are now in the city waiting for the 22d.

In reply, I have to state that the lands in question are to be disposed of to actual Kettlers under the homestead laws only. A party desiring to become an actual settler under the homestead law may initiate his claim by entry at the district land otllce. after properly examining and selecting the land desired, in which case he is allowed six months trom date of entry within which to establish his actual residence on the land, or, if he fio elect, he may initiate his claim by actual settlement on the land, which must consist of some act or acts connecting himself with the particular tract claimed, said act or acts to bo equivalent to an announcement of such intention, and from which tho publlo generally may have notice of his claim. Thereafter he is allowed three months within which to make his claim of record by entry in the district land office.

M. 8TOCKSLAGEE, Commissioner. In speaking of f he great title of immigration now setting toward Oklahoma, Commissioner Stockslager to-day said that from newspaper estimates and from information received through oilicial and personal sources, he was of tho opinion that fully 100,000 persons would enter Oklahoma within a month after the 22d of April. For these 100,000 persons, said the Commissioner, there are only about ten thousand homesteads which may be entered under the President's proclamation. Therefore, for each quarter section open to entry thero will be at least live orsix applicants. Never before in the history of the country has there been n parallel to. it. The inevitable result of this tremendous influx, the Commissioner thi nks, would be a great many contests and probably some personal conflicts. A further result, ne feared, would be tho spreading of this immense surplus over the adjoining Indian lands, from which it would be difficult to dislodge them without much trouble and possihly some bloodshed. If the commission appointed to treat with the Cherokees for a cession of the Cherokee outlet conld complete- their labors within the next few months, so that the new tract might be open to settlement before Congress again meets, this might and probably would relievo the pressure. Otherwise h feared matters would become complicated and the equilibrium restored with diiliculty. However, the Commissioner has no doubt that the precautions now being taken to preserve order in Oklahoma and to kern the intruders from the adjoining lands will be amply sufficient for the purpose. Tho newly appointed registers ana receivers of the recently created land offices at t Guthrie and Kingfisher stauo station, with their clerks and two special agents of the department, will meet in Arkansas City, Kan., on April 17, and together proceed to their posts of duty. Every facility will be extended by the local officers to applicants m making their tilings, and every eflort made to dispatch tho businessof the office with expedition. In order to save the time of the receiving officers they will be supplied with rotary consecutive numbering stamps, instead of making their indorsements with a pen. Tho order in which an application is received, as indicated by the number stamped upon it, will determine and settle its priority over applications bearing a higher number. A force of clerks in the General Land Office has been hard at work since the President's proclamation was issued, preparing plat-books, blank books, blanks and supplies of all kinds for the new offices, and everything is said to be in readiness.
