The opening of th new Territory of Oklohoma to settlers last week was the signal for a wild rash that Is uneqoaied In American history.' The story of bow ft city sprang into ex istence in half & day Is graphically related In the press dispatches print ed below. ,.!.-. .':": V-v.K - Guthrie, a hitherto inslgnlflcant town In ft wild and uninhabited country, remote from civilization, has now a pcpulnitonofmoastiian 15,000. Ail tills ya gained In one afternoon In no country save America, and no part of that country save the great West could such ft thing be possible. When the first train arrived at Guth rie from Arkansas Cltyrthe embryoi streets and lots of the- new city, had already been laid out by enterprising citizens who had been early on the scene. . Hardly had the care slowed down at the station when eager men leaped from the car windows, slip ped from the roof of the coaches and poured out of the doors in streams. In a minute, the slope leading up from the station was blocked with men rushing headlong, eager for cov eted town lots. In two minutes not one of the men who has filled the train was left within speaking dis tance, of thb railway. . By the time this crowd had reach ed the top of the slope near the; land office, men who had .been running parallel lines for streets, and ; had driven stakes for town lota were well on their way along the IevcKstrip of land east of the land office. The crowd then rushed eastward at a tremendous rate. The men who brought along a muslin sign bearing the words "Bank of Guthrie," were compelled to take up a lot one mile back of the station. " : ; . The next train from Arkansas City brought a thousand more home seek- l,era About five, minutes-later, the met in this train hurried across the prairie like an army charging the wing of, the enemy. They spread out North and South with axes and spades and stakes,' and began with wonderful energy the location of lots and streets. :;? cA-''W'" -The third, fourth, fifth and sixth trains from -Arkansas City swelled the number to as many thousand. When the seventh and eighth trains came la later in, the afternoon the crowd had overflowed all bounds, On the East, streets and town lots had been extended fully two miles; on the North a mile and a half, and oa the Bouth nearly a mile. , No at tempt had been made to lay out the town on the West side of the track. This West laud had been all filed on for homesteads. ' . - Almost with the first rush of home seekers from the cars, home seekers who bad streached across the Okla homa north line at noon in wagops and on horse back began to pour Into the new city. Their Tiorses were reeking wet from the hot and furious drive. They t9k possession of such town lots In the future Oklahoma metrop olis as they could lay claim to. Mean whiio the land office was besieged by an eager and determined crowd of men, waiting to filo claims upon homesteads. As the afternoon, wore on, this Crowd grew larger, until at closing time It reached in regular line far down the street toward the rail road station. Business in the land office went rather slowly. . The register- and re ceiver, did th best they could, but the pressure upon them was tremend ous. The men who were waiting to file elaimi were,forced Into line two abreast. Dealers in real estate began business before two o'clock in the af ternoon. : One enterprising dealer had as a back ground, for the safe transaction of business, a stock of rifles, which had iteen placed there by government troops on. duty t the laiid office. Near by was the tent of United States Marshal Need les. The tent was surmounted by a large American flag. - , Lieut. Foster, who started the pil grims Saturday, coming via the Ar kansas city trail, estimates that at least 4,000 outilta, 10,000 people, rang ed along tli honlcr of his trail, start' eel at thn sound of the bugle Lieut, Wait", a ret hew of the lute Chief Jnstii'O Ynl!f, st.irtcd thine entering at the Caldwell trail, and CoL War, started those on Hannewell trail, he being In charge of this territory. Opt Hays started those entering by the Black Bear trail. . ; - It seems like ft fairy story, but there Is scarcely a doubt that from 20,000 to 80,000 entered by those six trails, while the trains that came in from Arkansas City to Guthrie brought at least 6,080 people.' The wagon road runs within 100 yards of railroad all the way. . , : The Clmarroon ford", on the Clmar roon, "or Littlo Arkansas River, Is Just three-fourths of a mile from where the railroad crosses that stream. near the old site of Camp Russetl All along the route were to be, seen deer, antelope, prairie chicken and quaiKTtnTdeer" were within ten rods of the train, and at least fifty shots, were fired at thent from car windows, and those on the roof, with out effoct. Prairie chickens and quail that were near enough, to the train to Sight were also treated to a similar salute.' j t ' When the train crossed the lost stream, Cottonwood creek, just be fore entering GuthrlA, the passengers began jumping off and rushing- up the hill on the east side of the 'track towards the land office, where the town is to be laid out. One fellow be came so excited that he jumped though a car window. AVhen the train stopped at Guthrie station there was an. indiscriminate rush,' men and toys running over each other to get to the land office first, and squat on a claim. : An enterprising real estate man had a carryall at the depot when the train arrived and offeiered to carry people to his lots over on the east side, and sell lots at a dollar a piece. The crowd around the land' office is too great to be numbered,' and those who did not get in to file their claims last night, slept where they were in the line this morning. Two miles each way from Guthrie station, town sites were staked off, and there was not a section between there and Alfred that did not have one or more quarter sections staked off. j People here are dumbfounded and look at the vast multitude crowding into the country Returning on the strain hundreds of prairie schooners were passed, still winding their way tothe, promised land. -- WHAT OKLAHOMA IS. The proposed Oklahoma Territory Includes two great slices of the Indian Territory and the. long strip of land known as "No Man's Land," and comprises over eleven and one-half million acres. By the treaties; of Aug. H and 10, 1806, the Creeks" ced ed to i he United States the west half of their entire domain, about8,402,428 acres, at thirty cents per acre,and the Semlnoles their entire domain, 2,037,- 414 . acres at fifteen cents per: acre. The land was purchased for the pirr- pose, as expressed in the treaty, of locating on it friendly Indians and freedmen, the latter are those who had been slaves among ,the Indiana. A portion only of this ceded territory was used the purpose specified.' - The remaining portion, right in the cen ter of the Indian Territory, and con- prising 1,887,800 acres, constitutes Oklahoma proper. - Iu addition to this the Springer bill included Iu the proposed Territory the Cherokee Outler of 6,022,244 acres, bounded on the north by Kansas, On the ' west by-No plan's Land and Texas, on the east by the Cherokee reservation, and on the south by the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation and Oklahoma proper:-" This vast region Is unsettled, fertile, well wa tered, suitable for either grazing or farming. .' - , . The publlo Jand strip, Included ' In Oklahoma Territory, and popularly known as No Man's Land, from the fact that Is has never been Included In any territory, is bounded east and west by the 100th and 108th raerld Ions, 1 north by' the thirty-seventh parallel and south 30" 80'. It is 167 miles long and thirty-four and a-half miles , wide, and contains 8,672,310 acres, ;- . " ' r--.. Shooting at Henry Elonnt.

CHAPTER XXIX In America, tbe pursuit of politics is a liberal profession vary liberal for those who take tt up. . In America, aa tn England, there are two great pelltical parties; instead of being called Conservatives and Liberals, they are called Republicans and Democrat The difference which exist between these two parties la thlst One I in power and trie to stay jn, the other is out of it and'trie to got in.

Por that matter, the American democracy Is no exosptkai to the rule. To besom a chemist, you must study chemistry v to be- com a lawyer, you most study law) but, tn demoeraoy, to be a politician you need only tody your Interest. Enlightened, emicated. well bred people bar no destre to be con founded wtth tb heroes eft .to stamp, and stand back,' th rich fmandera and merchants are too busy to take trp politic! the senator and outigienwiou are more or loss the chosen of tb common people, nod good society eyi "Bo, thank you, I prefer to stay at borne,' Thus tt I that tb ground remains clear for the noisy mediocrities, and that gentleman ha only to mix himself up hVpolitic to be const'a declasse.

The Ameri can gentleman ha not the least ambition to see hia fair name dragged in the mud, to bear himself niftaamad "Honest John," "Jolly Roger,, or what not. He takes Joke a Weil as another, but If yo were to call him "Senator or "Congressman," h would have you up for defamation, of oharacter.

' ' Our American Administration, .There was a great deal of talk dur ing the late political campaign, about the exceedingly American, and un- English character of Mr. Harrison's administration should he be elected. Yet one of the earliest of Mr. Harri son's appointments put an English man in the White House as presi dent's private secretary ; a little later Mr. Egann unnaturalized foreigner, was selected from among sixty mil lions of nati ve and naturalized Amer icans to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to a South American state; Mr. Allen' Thorn dike Bice, who ts an American' by birth, but an Oxford Englishman by education, and a cockney Englisman in speech and manner, was appointed to tho St Petersburg mission ; and now Mr. Robert P. Porter, an En- glishman, is chosen to direct the work of taking the eleventh census of the United States, In face of the fact that his well-known methods with statistics serve to discredit the work in. advance, while there are many conspicuously fit American statisti cians In whose hands the high credit of the census would have been per fectly maintained.
