battle In the streets ot Wrwoka In th
Scmlnolo icsciatlou In the Indian Terrl
toiy jcsterday. In the tight , three full
bloods and two half breeds were klllct
and several wounded on both sides A rclgi
of terror ensued. Tioops from Fort Caiey
v.ero summoned and their prompt arrlva
saved great slaughter , as the Indians hat
lotlrcd to prepare for a more vlgoious at
tack on the white men. H Is thought no\
that the troops are able to preserve order
The trouble which ended in the bloodj
encounter has been In pi ogress for som
time At the last meeting of the Seminole
council a law was passed oidcilng the 1m
mediate expulsion of all white men from
the reservation Tor .jears It has been th
rule for white men to go Into the countr ;
and mairy squaws , thus getting a rlgh
to sKty acres of land eaeh. Being shiewde
than the Indians , the white men sccurcc
the best lands ami drove tlio full-blood
to the poorest. This condition Is vvha
brought about the passage of the law o
expulsion. The cffoits of the Indian polite
to put Into effect the order of expulsion are
what caused the trouble.

the steel billet people , otherwise the Amer
ican Bessemer association , which v\aa sched
uled for this city , was changed suddenly to
Cresson , and It Is now In session there
The reason for the change Is said to be the
desire to avoid the Importunities of the
metal biokers for certain changes.
As this IB the first month that the pool
has been In actual operation , the meeting
Is regarded as Important. Considerable basic
open heal th steel has been rolled by mem
bers of the pool at prices lower than the
pool price of Bessemer , and It Is said that
prices for basic open hearth will bo fixed ,
which will be higher than for Bessemer
steel The allotment basis will also be
changed fiom billets to Ingots. Whllo some
members favor lower prices , no reduction Is
expected.
