THEY ARE GOING.

Cattlemen Eemoving Their Herds from la* lian Territory—The Fences Mast dome Down. Washington special.) _ d Washington indicates that the cattlemen have done all in their power to get out of the Indian Territory during the forty days ending Sppt. 1. Unofficial advices intimate that the larger lease-holders "have not pursued this course, but have, on the contrary, prepared to stubbornly resist the enforce-. merit of the President’s proclamation. The latter statements are not credited. It is thought at the Interior and War Departments that the cattlemen are fully aware of the determination and ability of the Government to execute its orders. Whatever contest may be made in the courts they say will have to follow the evacuation. No legal proceedings will stay the treops if called upon to eject the herds and their attendants. Col. Lee has not informed . the War Deparfment of any necessity for milltary interference, But” Gen. Miles has fully prepared to render whatever aid is required.

It is believed better results wiU bo thds obtained than from the general order, which would be 'looked upon as a proclamation binding upon fio one in particular. The special agents of the Land Office are under instructions to report to the department all cases of illegal fencing, and instructions looking to the removal of the fences are promptly furnished for their guidance in each case. Where an agent is able to effect the removal he is directed to do so, and when necessary the United States Marshals can be called upon through the Attorney General. „ ■ v The Princess Anielia, a sister of Frederick the Great, was the only royally descended musician who ever achieved any but ordinary musical fame, /■; >: It is jnst fifty years age that the construction of the first French railroad, that from Paris to St. Germain, was officially sanctioned.
