JOHN BRIGHT DEAD.- ' John BRIGHT, the great philanthropist and statesman, is dead, his demise oocurring in London after a long illness.

In 1839 he became a personal friend of Richard Cob- den, and gained distinc­ tion as an orator of the Anti-Corn Law League.

Buring the civil •war in the United States he sided with tho Unien't cause. In 1867, after a decade of great work in that direction, the friends of reform triumphed and Bright entered Gladstone's Cabinet in 1868 as President of the Board of Trade, but resigned the office in 1871 on account of ill-liealth. When Gladstone returned to power in 1880 Bright be­ came Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, but resigned in 1882 when the Government began war in Egypt. He had always been an uncom­ promising champion of Irish rights, and justi­ fied Irish turbulence and disorder in view of the treatment of the nation by the Government until the franchise bill brought eighty-six Irish members into the House, when lie became com­ pletely alienated from the cause, and proved one of the most i>owerful opponents to Gladstone's scheme of home rule.

T.) special.] When the news of the issuance of the proclamation opening the country was re­ ceived here the "boomers" went wild and showed their joy in every conceivable manner, some even bursting into tears. At Gulhrie, where one of the laud offices has been located, men and women swarmed out of their hiding-places in the woodB aud up to the trains to get con­ firmation of the report. In their impatience some proposed entering on claims at once, "to get in the 8}riug crops," but the wiser counseled waiting till April 22. That there will be warfare and bloodshed during the early days of settlement can­ not be doubted. The men who have been waiting for the opening for years claim a right to the lands they have staked off, which the new-comers will not acknowl­ edge, takiog the ground that to the first one who files belongs tho spoils. For miles around Oklahoma and Guthrie, and, indeed, at every station on the railroads, claims have been staked otft, there being as many as half• a dozen claimants to many quatters, aud in many cases par­ ties, of "boomers" fiom the same neigh­ borhood have banded themselves together for self-protection and to prevent claim- jumping. A poor fellow, a Bohemian, was brought to the city by friends from a point ten miles up the river. He was un­ conscious, his face was riddled with shot, one eye was completely gone, and his left haud and right arm were full of Rhot. Those with him said he had shot himself by accident, but it was the general belief that some row had occurred over a claim. Two Land Offices. The Commissioner of the General Land Office has issued an order establishing two land offices in the Oklahoma Territory, opened by the President's proclamation. The land office for the Western District is to be located at Kingfisher Stage Station and for the Eastern District at Guthrie. The two districts are divided by the of the family of Abraham Lincoln. He was the eldest son ana was born at the old Qlobe Tavern in Springfield, III., Aug. 1. 1843. He attended a private school at Springfleld and the State University until the year of his lather's election to the Presidency, wh9n he entered Harvard.* He graduated in the early summer of 1864 and the following au­ tumn entered the law school of the uni­ versity, but in February, 1865, was appoint­ ed to a Captaincy on Gen. Grant's staff. He served until June of that year, when the war closed. He witnessed the "Surrender of Lee at Appomattox and was the first man to carry the news in person to his father, the President. Mr. Lincoln first appeared in politics In the south town of Chicago, where he was elected Supervisor in 1876. In 1880 Mr. Lin­ coln was a delegate to the Republican State Convention, and was selected a delegate to the National Convention, but his place was filled by Stephen A. Doug­ las, Jr. Mr. Lincoln had been, men­ tioned for the Presidency, and re­ ceived a few votes at that convention. He was chosen a Presidential Elector for Illi­ nois in the campaign that followed, and when President Garfield was making up his Cabinet Mr. Lincoln was placed at the head of the War Department. He alone of the Garfield ministry re­ mained in office during the admin­ istration of President Arthur. Leaving tho Cabinet 011 the accession of President Cleveland Mr. Lincola retired from politics until this appointment. Murav Halstead, nominated by Presi­ dent Harrison to be Minister to Berlin, was born in Paddy's Run, Butler County, Ohio, in 1829. He spent the summers on his father's farm and the winters in school until he was 19 years old, then, after teach­ ing for a few months, he entered Farmers' College n^ar Cincin­ nati, whei * he was graduated in 1851. He had. already con- murat HALSTEAD. tributed to the press, and after leaving college became connected with the Cincinnati Allan and then with the Enquirer. He afterward established a Sunday newspaper in that city and in 1832 worked on the Columbian Weekly. He began work on the Commercial the 8th day of March, 1853, as a local reporter and soon became news editor. In 1854 the Commercial was reorganized and Halstead purchased an interest in the paper. In 1867 its control passed into his hands. After pursuing for a time a course of independent journalism he allied him­ self with the Republican party, which he has since supported. The Cincinnati Gazette was consolidated with his paper in 1883, and he became President of the company that publishes the combined journal under the nam* of tho Gi&cianati Commercial-Gazette. . Patrick Egan, appointed by the Presi­ dent as Minister to Chili, waB born in Ireland some forty-seven years ago. He became a leading merchant in Dublin and took an active part in the Irish National movement. He was an ardent Home- Ruler, and was one of Mr. P^mell's act­ ive lieutenants; Mr. Egan * was made Treasurer of the Land League, and dur­ ing the persecutions of the members of i that organ s the f . •*' ;• , v:' PATRICK EOAN. • ization he removed to - Paris, where the funds of the league would be safe from tho British Government. The events which made it impossible for Mr. Egan to continue his residence in Ireland are too well known to need reciting. In 1882 he left Paris and sought a perma­ nent home in the United States. He set­ tled at Lincoln, Neb., where he engaged in business, and he still makes his home there. ^ 1 WHERE THE PLUMS TB£ UNITED STATES 8KNAT* JW ECUTIVJE SESSION. ? . 1 Tho Upper l«ue of C«(r»M TummM l'i Xlttte Other Bu»ine»* than Confirming or Rejecting Presidential Appointment* v --The Chosen. • <3 '* •' THE Senate lin execwtfve session on the 23<V (ait. confirmed the following Presidential nom« '• •' Illations: Andrew C.

The nominations of Lewis Wolfly to bo Governor of Arizona and of John C. New to be Consul General to London were re­ ported favorably from committee, bnt, under in­ dividual objection, they went over until the next executive session. , THE executive session ot the Senate lasted bo> tween two and three hours on the 28th ult., and was confined largely to a discussion of the nomi. nation of Murat Halstead to be Minister to Ger­ many. Before that came up the nominations of John C. New to De Consul Gen-' eral to London, and of Lewis Wolfiey, to be Governor of Arizona, which were pending, were confirmed A final attempt of the opposi­ tion to defeat Mr. Now's confirmation was based upon the assertion that his paper (the Indianap­ olis Journal) had published articles reflecting upon the pri vate character of President Cleve­ land. This charge was warmly denied by Sen­ ator Voorhees, of Indiana, and the nomina­ tion was confirmed. The Committee on1 Foreign Relations favorably reported all tho diplomatic nominations of the 27th ult.,' but in the case of Mr. Halstead the report was not unanimous. On a motion to con­ firm the nomination the nays were in the ma­ jority, Senators Teller, Plumb, Ingalls, Farwell and Cullom voting with the Democrats. Mr. Sherman moved to reconsider the vote, and on that motion a long debate ensued, in the course of which the ground of objection to Mr. Halstead was disclosed. When the Senate refused to enter upon an investigation of the election ot Senator Payne, of Ohio, Mr. Halstead, whose1 paper, the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, had strongly urged tho investigation, made uncom­ plimentary allusions to the liepublicans who voted against the investigation. The feeling against him' on the part of the Senators who fell under his displeasure at that time is very bitter, and one of them is reported to have gala to President Harrison that Mr. Halstead could not be confirmed---that tho Senators whom lie had criticised would not vote for him. The mo­ tion to reconsider was pending when the Senate adjourned. The Senate adopted-a resolution accepting the invitation to participate in the centennial ceremonies at New York, aud pro­ viding for the appointment of seven Senators to'represent the Senate on that occasion. • >-* & s c­ once a Trauip, Then a.Governor. Your correspondent, while passing up Pennsylvania avenue with a bureau officer, passed a man named Wilkin­ son, who was recently turned out of the office of the Comptroller of the Currency on. account of "offensive par­ tisanship." The bureau officer, after passing Wilkinson, turned to me and said: "You recognize that man? Yes; well, there was an incident in the early part of his life which connects him in a way with one of the most prominent* Democrats in Ohio. A good many years ago Wilkinson was moving into a house at Springfield, now cme of the most prosperous manu­ facturing towns in the central part of the Buckeye Statef. While his goods were being put into the house, and those belonging to the outgoing tenant were being put on a wagon, a seedy- looking tramp came up onu inquired if he could get something to eat, offering to assist in the work if he was accom­ modated. The outgoing tenant re­ ferred the tramp to tlie incoming ten­ ant, and the latter took the wanderer into the house and gave him a dinner. There was not much attention paid to that tramp, and for years those who saw hkn on that day lost sight of himJ Finally ho reappeared, however, en-j tiered into the business of the place and began to grow. He grew in every, sphere of life. He became wealth^ and influential. A few years ago he was Governor, and now he has-more property and money than any man in tlis section#of the State. It is not#nec- essary for me tP mention his name. He lives at Springfield yet and is & ^ery rich man. His name is a-ltouap hold word throughout Ohio." ^ , Study aud Health. A year or two since the Association of Collegiate Alumnie collected statis­ tics from about 800 women college grad­ uates as to their health before, during and after college, the health of their children, the number who had died,1 etc. Two points came out clearly from these statistics: That the health of the girls generally improved at college, when they did not overstudv; and that the deatli-rate among the children of college women is remarkably low.; / Where It Went. , Liquor Dealer--I thought there was half a barrel of that campaign whisky left?
