The latest person to Join In the pursuit of
the missing Tascott , according to ti morning
paper. Is no less a person than the redoubt-
nblo Willlo hlmsolf. With all the Ingenious
nnd multifarious methods which have been
nt various times employed to capture this
ovaslvo Individual , It has never occurred to
that ho " chase him-
nr.y ono to suggest "go
golf. " However , It Is vulgarism to say that
this Is exactly what he haidone.and ho wants
the * yj,003 reward for dlscoving himself , too.
It is stated on the authority of ox-Chief
and now Inspector of Police Marsh ,
that Tascott Is not only alive ,
but that within the last year negotiations
bavo been In progress between the Chicago
police and Frank B. Tascott to surrender the
long missing man under specific conditions.
Frank B. Tuscott is a brother of the missing
man.
man.The nocotlatlons , which promised success
ful results , were based on n proposition that
the chlof of police should use his influence to
have an indictment for burglary against
Tascott nolle pressed , that the chlof should
turn over to him the reward offered by Mrs.
A. J. Snoll , to bo used as a defensive fund ,
and tbat State Attorney Longnocker should
guarantee Tascott n fair trial on the Indict
ment for thu murder of Sncll. On these
terms Frank B. Tascott was willing to sur
render his brother and William B. Tnscott
was willing to bo surrendered. The negotia
tions fell through because u private dotectlvo
agency , which evidently had n "tip , " excited
distrust In the mind of Frank B. Tnscott ,
who , as Inspector Marsh expresses it ,
"finally got to mistrust everybody , although
ho had no occasion to , for that dotectlvo
agency quit as soon as it found out there was
no chance of reward. "
The Inspector says that the boy communi
cated regularly with his father and brother.
"It was done through the medium
Of newspapers. I could not find
out where the papers were mailed.
from. Any paper would answer n Now
York paper sent from San Francisco or u
Chlcago'paper from Noxv Orleans. Certain
words and letters were marked , and cither
the father or brother had a kov which en
abled him to make out a letter. I told Franlc
Tnscott what I know and ho answered : 'I
will nlther nfllrm nor deny that your information
mation is correct.1 "
Being asked ns to his opinion of the suffi
ciency of evidence against Tiiscott to convict
"
111 in of tno murder , the Inspector savs :
"From the evidence to which I had access , I
do not think Tascott could bo convicted ot
the murder of Snell. There may bo
evidence that would upset that opinion , but
I am not aware of it. "
Following this story Is a dispatch from St.
Paul , which state * that T.iscutt Is living
among the Indians in a wild region at the
foot of the Turtle mountains In Manitoba ;

Secret Session of the German-Amor-
Ion n Clerical Union.
Brrruo , N. Y. , Sopt. 21. Behind closed
doors this afternoon there went Into session
In tbls city the twelve apostles of tl.o
"Prlosten-Verolu , " or the German-
American Clerical union. It waa the llrst
of n series of mootlncs of the congress
of Gorman-American Catholics. Vicar General
oral von Muhlsippon Of St. Louis , president
of Iho vcrelu , called the meeting to order ,
The business wai the scrutiny of documents
nnd resolutions to bo brought before the congress -
gross , All day delegates have been arriving
hero to take part In the congress , which meets
tomorrow. General interest is centered In
the torchlight parade announced for this
evening.
Before the censorship meeting ended the
number within had greatly Increased , aggre
gating several score. All , However , were
priests and members of the Clerical union.
So for as could bo ascertained not a single
lavman put In an appearance to submit any
thing to bo passed upon. Nevertheless tbo
committee remained In session over tv.'O
hours. It was explained that the laymen
acted In tbo matter through their clerical
representatives and that personal attendance
on the part of lay delegates before the
censors was unnecessary. U Is definitely
known that not all tha papers
passed upon were allowed to reach
a further stage than the waste bas
ket. One of the priests said tbat
whatever appeared Inharmonious with the
purposes of the congress was excluded and
that the priests determined to steer clear in
the public proceedings of all aggressions nnd
accusations.
Before the adjournment the meeting ap
pointed a committee to prepare n report of
the proceedings for publication. The follow
ing is the report verbatim :
"Tho German Catholic congress hold its
llrst preliminary meeting nt the St. Louis
Young Men's ' hall at 2:3' : ) p. in. Ono hundred

GLITTERING PARADE OF UNIFORMED MEN ,
Growing Popularity of Odd Fellow
ship asvKvldcnccd by tltn He *
ports ol' the Several
Grand Olllocrsi.
ST. Louis , Mo. , Sept. 21. St. Louis today
welcomed ono of the largest gatherings of
Odd Fellows that has been assembled at any
ona tlmo in the history of the order In this
country. Every train for the past three
days has brought Its load of cantons , lodges
and detachments , until fully 50,000 to 00,000
visiting members nnd their families were In
the city. The occasion of the gathering Is
the Seventy-second grand encampment of the
Sovereign grand lodge. The programme
prepared for the entertainment was ono of
the most elaborate over gotten up for a llko
occasion.
Old Sol , who had been projecting his rays
upon the city for thrco or four days past with
considerable violence , turned over n now
leaf this morning and hid himself behind a
hupo bank of clouds , to the great relief of the
thousands of Odd Fellows who had resolved
to take part in the grand parade. And later
n cool refreshing breeze sprang up , relieving
in n great mcasuro the oppressiveness of the
atmosphere and giving now life to the swel
tering thousands who were going hither and
thither in the streets seeking the best van
tage ground from which to view the pro
cession.
Arriving delegations this morning were
met nt tbo Union depot and escorted to their
assigned quarters by the reception commlt-
tee who had boon so well drilled ttmt not n
delay occurred in the programme. The rail-
roods having found that the regular trains
were insufficient to carry the largo crowds
which desired to come to St. Louis , ran
special trains from nil directions to accom
modate the heavy trafllc. Probably the
largest detachment came from Springfield ,
111. , the railroads having made a f 1 laro for
tbo round trip ,
From early morning n moro lively and
animated scone could hardly bo found than
the down town streets. Everywhere could
bo seen the coldon braided uniforms and tha
swaying purple plumes of the cantons nnd
the regalias of the lodges. The district be
tween Clark and Washington streets , nnd
Fourth nnd Fourtecntn streets , was ono mass
of moving humanity. The sidewalks were
blocked with members of the order , many of
whom were renewing old and malting now
acquaintances , whllo the majority were bent
on sightseeing.
Procession o ! " the Patriarchs.
Shortly after 1 o'clock the cantons and
lodges which were assigned positions in the
parade began to move towards the point
whcro the line was to bo formed and took up
their positions ns designated in the pro
gramme. The various divisions formed on
the streets running north and south across
Lucas place , beginning nt Seventeenth and
tip to Twenty-second.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the agreed upon sig
nal for tbo commencement of the march was
piven an'd a platoon of mounted polica
emerged from Jefferson avouuoand proceeded
in an easterly direction on Lucas to Four
teenth. The arrangements had boon so per
fect that the column was quickly formed , and
'
"twiH1 procoe'do'd'tbo'vnnous'alvlsloni'ro'il Into
line and swelled iuo procession.
jVt flrst slow progress was mndo owing to
the great number of spectators. The
platoon of police had creat dlfllculty In
making an opening in the solid wall of hu
manity that lined the streets on each side.
The spectators llllod every available space ,
many climbing trees nnd telegraph poles to
obtain a peed view of the parade. The line
of march was as follows :
On Lucas to Jefferson avenue , east to Fif
teenth street , north to Washington nvcnuo ,
east to Broadway , south to Chestnut , east to
Fourth , south to Walnut , west to Fourth ,
north to Market , west to Sixth , north to
Olive nnd west to the Exposition building ,
where the column broke up nnd the marchIng -
Ing cantons , lodges and detachments re
turned to their respective headquarters for
orders.
As the procession moved along the streets
the maneuvers of the various cantons were
received with much enthusiasm , the patri
archs militant with Lieutenant General
Underwood nt their head , receiving un
stinted applause , as did also Grand Canton
Atkins No. 1 of Paducah , Ky. The third
division under Brigadier General W. H.
Crocker and staff , made probably the best
showing In the parade. Their maneuvers
were executed with the strictest military
precision and created a very favorable im
pression upon the multitude.
Tomorrow will decide which canton is to
carry off the prize for the best military
tactics , as the grand prize drill is to come off
ut the fair grounds In the afternoon.
Tonight the expositions grounds wrro
opened to the Odd Follows and a public
reception was bold in the music hall of that
great pilo.
The building was packed to the doors and
locomotion was next to impossible. The
main feature of the exercises at the exposi
tion was the conferring of the decoration of
the chivalry by Lieutenant General Under
wood upon several grand representatives , a
number of distinguished members and
several Indies of the order of Robokab ,
Session Opened.
The seventy-second grand encampment of
the sovereign craud lodgolndodondeiit Order
of Odd Follows was opened by Deputy Grand
Sire Dr. C T , Campbell in Masonlo nail.
Grand Chaplain J. W. Vonablo of Now York
opened the proceedings with prayer.
The report of tbo committee on credentials
was then presented and adopted , after which
the deputy grand sire made his report , which
was received with tumultuous applause. The
report referred to the sad ncnldnnt that had
befallen the grand slro of thu order , Charles
M. Busby of Kentucky , and to the circum
stances that surroudcd his own temporary
accession to that position.
Dead silence reigned when Past Grand
Slro John C. Underwood arose to speak. Ho

Sire Busby and Introduced n resolution of
condolence. The motion was carried amid
cheers. The past year , the frond slro said.

which have succeeded ; all but fifteen of the

of sixty winters have iwhltcnod the hair of
the faithful , It looks as if tnoy would stick.
It Is a question who will outlive all the oth

Inc the streets of this town Inivo uuun blocked
with wagons , horses niul people , men ,
women , boys mid girls , scrambling to got
hero to take part in the rnco for government
land. Everything Is wide open. Liquor 1 *
plentiful and gamblers nro hero with their
outfits. Governor Steele will go to the
county scat , named Tociimsoh. Ills Inten
tion is to clear the town , and wltu
n signal lot the race for town lots commence.
Trains continue to arrive and bring pcoplo
anxious to secure homes. The men In Una
before the land olllco arc still there , deter
mined to inuku entries. Hotels , printing of
fices , stores ai.d shops nro taxed to their ut
most capacity. Some establishments , espe
cially these of the newspaper * , are seriously
crippled on account of their help leaving to
join In the race.
The land to bo opened for settlement to
morrow noon consists of the country of the
Sao and Fox ' , 472,000 acres ; of the lowas
229,639 , acres 'and of the Pottawatomios HOD.-
000 acres , In all 1,101MO acres. Some of this
is adapted to the raising of as line crops us
any land ana some of It , fertilized with tin
cans , would afford excellent pasturage for
goats.
The Indians do not lese all their land.
Each buck gets a quarter section and not
only that , but ho Is a lawful "sooner" and
has already nicked out the prize spots. Ho
can't sell his land for twenty-flvo years , but
during that time he docs not have to pay any
taxes.
After the Indian lands and the lands held
for school purposes 1mvo been deducted from
the 1.101 , < > 5U acres about 800,000 acres are
opened for actual settlement. This makes
5,000 homesteads and about two men for
every homestead nro on the ground. Some
are hovering around the line ana some arc al-
roaay in what is until tomorrow the forbid
den country.
Same Old Okluliomn JttiHli.
It is tbo old Oklahoma rush over again
with some modlllcatlons. There nro not as
miiny boomers and a smaller number of them
nro in wagons. For the last week , however ,
there has been an almost continuous stream
of wagons over the Santa Fo trail across the
Cherokee strip and there are wagoners all
around the border.
The rush for the railroad has boon Just the
same , The big crowds for the last three
days have packed the aisles of the cars.
They look like the same men who came to
Oklahoma at its opening. A composite pic
ture of the whole "outllt" would represent n
young man with a harvest-Held complexion
and a white felt hot drawn down so as to
bond his oars. Ho would have -1-yoar-old
yellow mustache and u 4-dav-old beard. Ho
would have blue eyes ana ho would sport a
rod coiton handkerchlof > ; j < ist as sure as ho
"would bavo a big revolver.

during tbo rush to Okialibma."In thocrowds
on the trains there Is the man from Arkansas
with his fiddle , and the man with the graybeard
board and the man with tno red nose who
dbnccs in the aisle of the car.
There is the man who shoots his gun out
of the window , the man from Missouri who
consults his bottle and the tired mother with
u baby that cries.
As tbo train runs through the strip the
emigrants are greeted with n sight that
seems to delight them. On both sides of the
road the grass is burning. Cattlemen swear
roundly to bear them cheer at the sight of
the burning grass , and express the wish tnat
every bead of cattle in the btrip might bo
burned , The grass is not qulto dry enough
to burn well yet , but it will undoubtedly bo
all flrod as so'on as It does got dry enough.
The settlers are very bitter against the

Tjlvcly Scenes nt Gullii'lc.
Guthrie Is a llvolv town today. The streets
ore crowded , the hotels are overrun , the sa
loons are doing a rushing business , and at
every street corner cowboys are selling
ponies. They are asking big money for them ,
too , and getting It. The men who rushed
into Oklahoma are disposing of the horses
and wagons they used to excellent advantage.
Every minute an outtlt loaves for the lino.
The nearest point of the new country is only
a little over nine miles from Outhrlo , and
the greatest crowd will enter from near this
point , but the truth is that a great part of
the crowd Is not waiting to enter. The coun
try is already full of "sooncrs. " The plan Is
for ono man to go in and "jump" a claim and
then turn It over to a partner , who starts In
after the legal hour. Thus , Between them ,
they got a good claim.
There will bo a great rush for town lots.
The now country will bo divided Into two
counties nud tbo government has selected the
sites for the county seats , although there is
now not oven the shadow of a town in either
countv. Both towns have been named. The
ono tliat is to bo the county seat of tbo north
ern county Is Chandler , named for the assist
ant secretary of the interior , and the south
ern town Is Tecumsoh. II. D. Baker of Ok
lahoma City has already been appointed post
master of the coming town of Teeumseli.
This town will bo located in the Pottawato-
mio country , forty-llvo miles from Guthrio.
Chandler will bo In the Sao and Fox country ,
forty miles from Guthrio.
The government surveyors nro not through
with their work on town sites , and Governor
Steele has announced that the sites ahull not
bo tnkon up until the survey is finished. No
attention will bo paid to tbls , however , and
the force of soldiers on the ground will not
be largoonough to keep them off , A crowd of
Guthrie men has boon organized to move on
Chandler. Every ono Is going. The cooks
have deserted the stoves , the lawyers their
oQlces , and tbo merchants their stores.
Mnny Will l > o Disappointed.
The town slto of Chandler Is said to bo n
poor ono , end these who rush there will
suffer for a drink of water until wells nro
dug. The plan of the Gutbrio men Is to got
a quarter section just west of tuo town site
end throw the uw n over thoro. Men enough
will rush to Chandler , however , to tnuo lots
for a city of 20,000 and It is haid to see how
the pi a co can support more than 10,000 pcoplo
for many years. Many are bound to bo dis
appointed whether they go for lots or
quarter section ! ) , for there are at least in,000
pcoplo waiting for the hat to drop at noon
tomorrow.
Governor Stcele this morning received a
telegram from , T.V , Ilowford , receiver of
the land ofllco at Oklahoma City , cnlllnt ! for
assistance to protect his ofllco. The land
ofllco is UP two Mights of stairs und the entire
building Is over-run with boomers. Tbo
receiver li fearful that his ofllco will bo tukcn
possession of and states that no deputy
United States marshals or local ofllcers can
bo had. Tbotgovornor docs not desire to
Bond troops to Oklahoma City if It can be
avoided , as every bluo-coat In the territory U
needed at the trout , but If bo receives another
call ho will KonU sufllclont force to protect
the land ofllco.
Couriers from Langston City , the negro
colony , came In this morning and purchased
twenty carbines and hastened back to the
front. Tboy report that the entire town site
is covered with tents of emigrants ami that
they nro determined to protect themselves
from any attempts on the part of tbo whites
to keep them from the lands In tbo Cimma-
ron valley , A squad of negroes visited the
cowboys' camp last night and declared their
Intention ! . They said that they would make
the race for lands and If they got there first
they would defend their rights with tholr
llvoj. If the cowboy * Jo not ImOlbo too much

And Now n Now I ) , „ ! .
The threatened trouble over the town silent
nt Chandler now 6vorshadows oven the ex
pected disturbance at Lansston between the
negroes and cowboys. Governor Stcolo has
determined to suspend the president's pro
clamation so far as It might bo construed to
relate to thu town Mtos , ami will not normlt
entry upon tnem until after ho ha * approved
the surveys and plats. Ilo started totileht
for the slto of the county sent of the lower
county and will reach there tomorrow morn
ing. By noon no will have Inspected the sur
veys and plats and \\ill probably have ap
proved them , so that the entry may bo miido
promptly upon the minute that the presi
dent's proclamation goes Into effect.
At Chandler , the county seat of the upper
county , the situation will be different. The
governor will bo unable to reacb there from
the lower county until Wednesday mornlne ,
and of course can not Inspect the plats nnd
surveys until that time. In the mo.intlmo
hundreds of people will have gathered
around the slto anxious to stake their claims.
They have nlror.dy threatened to enter the
town slto at noon tomorrow , no matter
what may bo the orders of the governor.
They say thp town slto becomes the people's
property nt noon by order of the president of
the United States , mill that no governor or
any ono else can keep It closed to the people.
On the other hand Governor Stoclo
claims that nt noon the Indian
lands become a part of Oklahoma
Territory , and ns such pass Immediately
under the control of the governor. Ho ba's
ordered three companies of United States
troops to surround the site and allow no ono
to cross the line until he has arrived from the
lower county nnd has approved the surveys
and plats.
It is expected a serious conflict will ensue
Dotweon the lot seekers and the troops If the
former attempt to muku good tholr tin-oats.
A courier arrived from Langston tonight.
Ho reports that whllo the negroes nro as de
termined ns over to rbslst any opposition to
tholr advances Into the Clmarron valley they
have nevertheless assumed n much moro
conciliatory and reasonable position. Tnov
will In no case attempt to secure claims by
force , and have all signed an iigrcomoiit to
divide whet lands they may bo successful in
claiming so that each ono of tholr number
can hove at least forty acres.
xown hito Companion Illegal.
WASHIXOTOX , D. C. , Sept. 21. Secretary
Noble today received n telegram from Gov
ernor Stcelo of Oklahoma stating that two
town slto companies had been organized for
the purpose of entering the two now county
seats as town sites , to the exclusion of single
entry men. The secretary In response has
directed the governor to see that this pur
pose of town site companies Is not consum
mated. No such entries will bo permitted
and single entry men will bo fully sustained.
This action Is taken after consultation with
law ofllcers of tbo department , all of whom
agree that such entry bv n pretended town
slto company would bo illegal and void.
First .Victim to Suffer.
WICHITA , Kan. , Sept. at , Tbo flrst victim
to suffer at the hands of the boomers of the
now territory Is Al Glazier , .1 Santa Fo con
ductor , who was badly cut and otherwise
injured this morning by an enraged mob in
his train. Some of the boomers had no tick
ets and Glazier demanded the extra lu cents
levied in such cases. This caused the troublo.
A number of the rioters were arrested and
are in 1ail at Mulvane.

aid Cable-Special to TUB Uni : . J - i'hls morn-
lug in the garden of Hotel Bellevue 1 had an
intercstliiK mint-view with Henry Lnboti-
chore. I opened flro on the subject of the
torthcomint ; coiiornl election In England.
"Mr. Laboucliore , have you seen the Glad
stone article on the nineteenth century , lu
winch ho claims that the liberals will obtain
n majority of 150 teats next general election , "
I asked.
"I do not think tin majority will bo so
largo and should rather put It at about sixty , "
ho replied. "I think wo shall lose In Ireland
possibly twelve scats , four In Ulster to tha
conservatives and six to the Parnollltcs.
Against this wo should increase our majority
considerably In Scotland. Wo should hnvo
all of Wales with the exception of perhaps
three scats. Wo shall gain largely
In the northern , eastern nnd In
the southeastern counties. This , with
a few seats wo will pick up elsewhere , will
glvo us u majority of at least sixty. Wo
shall not pain largely in Lancashire , which ,
for some reason , is conservative , nor shall wo
gain many moro scats in London owing to ou *
bad organization and gro.it dlllloulty In In
ducing workinginon to como to the polls.
You say Mr. I'nrnoll will only gain six.
Are you sure of this ?
'I nm not sura that ho will gain six. Ho Is
utterly discredited. Ho has with him n
noisy section in Dublin nnd may gain all the
seats there , niH ono in Limerick , nnd ono in
Wnterford. I bellovo , that Irish nntl-
Paniellltos would not admit the
possibility of this. The priests nro against
him bcc.uiso of what they term hli
adultery. Ho has of late played into the
hands of his opponents by his recU' iss men
daclty nnd by bidding for the ultra Fonmn.
section , which , whatever it may bo in Amor
lea , has no voting stroncth In Ireland.11
"And do you Justify the action of the lib.
orals In throwing him over on account of the
divorce oxposursesi"
"I do not enter Into the moral question ,
but there Is no doubt that had wo stood by
him wo should have lost the next general
election , for n nonconformist conscience Is a
very Important electoral factor. Wo had
therefore to decide between the cause nnd
the man and the lntoro.it of Ireland , and wo
wore surely bound not to prefer the man to
the cause. "
"And If Gladstone does have a majority ,
will there bo a bona lido homo rule bill
brought inl"
"Certainly , Gladstone Is In crfrnest to settle -
tlo the question once for all , with the ap-
proyqljirof _ nil reasonable Irlsnmon. His
In the house of commons , for they will bo
pledged by their constituents to vote for It. "
"I suppose the house of lords will tbrow It
out ! "
"That is probable. Wo shall send it up to
them not only the homo rule bill , but also
two or thrco sound radical measures , which
they will also throw out. Dlsiolutlon will
therefore tnko place , not mono on homo rule
issues , but upon the Issue of whether the
members of the house of lords are to ba
allowed to ignore the will of the nation. As
It la , the house of lords Is thoroughly unpop
ular and It will bo swept off the political
chess board. "
"What do you think of the McKinley
tariff ! "
"I have novcr believed tno principles oJ
political economy were of universal applica
tion. Free trade suits us , but if I had been
an American I should have boon a protection
ist twenty years ago. "
' Do yea think many English manufactur
ers will scud exhibits to the Chicago exposi
tion I"
"I should fancy It Is somewhat doubtful.
I do not see what would bo gained by so
doing If tholr * poods are kept out of the
country by prohibition duties. If they do
send exhibits they ought to ticket the prices
in order that Americans may see nt what
they really might buy goods , were there no
duty on them. This would bo a very useful
object lesson. "
"What do you think of the future of Can.
ndai"
"Well , if I were n Canadian I am inclined
to think that I should out my connection with
Eughuul , but being an Englishman 1 have
no wish that Canada should do so. I would
rather bo master of my own house , even If U
were only a cottage , than to live In it ns a
sort of mick garden to n nobleman's mansion.
The stronger and more powerful Canada becomes -
comes , the moro American it will become
and the moro anxious sbo will bo to
cut adrift from Kuropo. In this con *
nectlon , whether It will bo an indc-
pendent republic or whether It Joins
Iho United States , will depend very much on
tbo current of popular opinion nt the moment
of Its separation. Were I u Canadian I should
bo In favor ot a union with tbo United btates.
It seems to mo a very grand idea , that on
continent could hnvo ono government and
that government bo not thu despotism of an
Individual , but the deliberate will ot th
