WASHINGTON , March 15. Secretary Bay
srd la experiencing considerable difficulty in
filling the place of assistant secretary of state.
Ho has magnified the position of assistant in
that department to a position equal to any ol
tbo cabinet officers except that of state. Ho
thinks the assistant secretary should be a man
of thn highest reputation , and would like ex-
Senator Pendleton to accept the position

The Senatorial Contest ,
WASHINGTON , March 15. The senate Is
likely to devote some of Its spare time the
present week to the consideration of foreign
affairs. It Is expected that two or three treat
ies of minor importance and in respect t
which there can bo little differenca of opinion
will bD reported from the coramitteo of foreign
relations , and taken up by the senate in executive
ocutivo session. Among them will probably
bo the treaty relating to the boundary land
between this country and Mexico. The Man
dorson resolution calling for information in rs
gard to Central Amorlcen affairs may also b
reportad and discussed. The moro importan
of the pending treaties have been withdrawn
and tha Hawaiian reciprocity treat
and that relating to the internal paten
rights system will be held back until th
regular session. The "Backbone" resolutio
will doubtless be discussed to-morrow. It i
possible that all public business which th
Honato has on hand will bo disposed of with !
a few days , and that body will only await th
pleasure of the executive , and will adjourn oa
soon as his important nominations hav
boon received and acted upon , Dorra

WASHINGTON , March 1-1. W. L. Couch
Arkansas City , Kansas : The president is of
the opinion that further negotiations with the
Creeks and Semlnolos , as contemplated by
the recent action of congress , is necessary to
authorize the settlement of Oklahoma. His
proclamation of yesterday is Intended to
eject the cattle syndicate on the one hand ,
and suspend , on the other , the settlement of
the country pending negotiations. Wo have
earnestly urged upon the secretary of the In
terior , in view of the exigencies of the situa
tion , to proceed at once to conclude negotia
tions and to place upon the commission repre
sentatives of the settlers. Wo deem
it best for all parties to await his con
templated action. It must bp under
stood that the corrupt conspiracy by
which the lands in the Oklahoma country and
the whole Indian territory have been Illegally
occupied by cattle kings , is strongly defended
fended here by powerful financial influences.
This conspiracy has been tor years , an j is

ernment. Tlioao Anon , having access to the
avenues of public opinion and the privileges
of constant communication with all depart
ments of the government , are persistent In
their misrepresentations. They who attacl
, here any of the great wrongs which have
fastened themtelves upon. the government
undertake a task of great magnitude , but we
: shall continuo to urge , with confidence , upor
President Cleveland's administration a reversal
versal ft the bad policy of former years
The only safety for the people is a sharply
defined public opinion , rising above all part ;
distinctions and demanding that the publi'
domain shall be held sacred aa the herltag
