The Accident on the Banmark Described Shortly, after the vessel had made fast to the wharf a beautiful floral design representing a ship at sea was carried up the gangway and handed over to Capt Murrell with a few appropriate remarks. The captain was taken completely by surprise, but in a clear, distinct voioi made a few fitting remarks in accepting tha tribute to his bravery. "I thank you," he taid, "for the officers and crew of my vessel for this gift, since I know it is not intended alone for me. It'has been said there are no more British sailors, but since tljis latest experience I am convinced he still lives. I am very glad that I was able to do even this much for these poor people; any one would have done the same thing. All that 1 can say is that I would do it again should it become necessary." Loud cheei s greeted the captain's speech, and as he concluded he made his way through the admiring throng and carried the floral ship to his private cai This beautiful tribute was presented to the captain by several people prominent in shipping circles.

Washington, April 23.—The resignation of Judge Durham, first comptroller of the treasury, was accepted by Secretary Windom yesterday, to take effect at once. Judge Durham will return to his home in Kentucky. There are various explanations offered for this hcsty action on the part of the secretary. Secretary Windom said that he had accepted Mr. Durham's resignation In the ordinary course of business, not because of any fi.ult with the letter's official conduct, but b«cause of several newspaper articles reflecting upon the administration which are said to have been inspired by the first comptroller. These attributed sentiments to the first comptroller, if true, must have made it unpleasant for him to continue in office under existing circumstances. On the other hand, it is said, that the immediate cause of the change is due to a personal misunderstanding between Attorney General Miller and First Comptroller Durham in regard to the accounts of John I. Davenport as supervisor of elections In New York. The latter recently presented vouchers aggregating $8,200 for "extraordinary expenses" incurred during the last presidential election. These were being examined by the first comptroller, and he signified his intention of disallowing them He had reveral conferences with the attorney general on the subject, which resulted in an open rupture between the two officials, so much so that the first comptroller on Friday last ignored two requests from the attorney general to call at his office. The Davenport accounts were then taken out of his hands and turned over to the attorney general, where they now are. White House grounds. Guthrie, I. T., April 23.—Oklahoma was thrown open at licon yesterday, and resistless torrents of humanity began to pour ov«r its soil. From the Cherokee strip came the great fleet of prairie schooners across the Canadian; from the Chickasaw nation came troop after troop of sturdy ponies, each one carrying a boomer; from the Arapahoe and Chayenne reservations on the west came a yelling mot of horsemeu, who fired volley after volley tc oelebrate their final victory. The Kiowa of the southwest and the Cherok«fe and Creek nations on the cast also furnished their contingent of boomers. "Tea, sir; it drew $30,000." "Have you gotten tbe money yet 7" "Oh, yes, we got that very promptly without any trouble We just gave our ticket to the expiess company for collection and got a draft on New York." Philadelphia, April 23.—Hundreds of voices blended in a great shout, and cheer after cheer rent the air as the steamer Missouri, with her precious cargo which she Bad so gallantly rescued from the 111 fated Danmark arrived safely at her dock, at Washington street wharf, at half past 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The passengers on board the Missouri returned the gre ting with no less enthusiasm. Handkerchiefs 'fluttered in the stiff breese, happy smiles lit up the faces of more than 800 immigrants who bad been so provldan tally rescued from a watery grave, and in every way the scene was one that indelibly fixed itself upon the minds of those who witnessed it On the wharf were not a few men and women who were there to meet relatives and friends after having resigned all hope several days ago of ever seeing them again. Fathers were there to meet mothers; chillren and traveled hundreds of miles to greet their parents and friends. They stood on the wharf and gaaed with glistening eyes toward the long line of men, women and children who stood along the port line of the big vessel as she steamed slowly up to the end of the wharf. Ferryboats and tugs which were passing added to the enthusiasm with steam salute*. Cheers and cries of joy continued without much interruption until the Missouri had been swung around and made her mooring at the wharf. Then a ladder was thrown off and the custom house officials, followed closely by the press representatives, made their way up the side of the vessel to her decks. Brave Capt Murrell, who stood on the bridge of the Bteamer surrounded by C. W. Davis and other representatives of Peter Wright & Sons, was the cynosure of all eyes. He was at once surrounded by the reporters and his many friends all bent on paying a tribute to his gallant service in saving so many lives. Among the first to board the vessel was the Rev. J. W. Holm of the Swedish society, who busied himself with giving a hearty weloome to the hundreds of Scandinavian immigrants, the great majority of whom were unacquainted with a single word in the language of the country which will h nceforth be their home. Edward Adams, the 18 year old son, was the first to recover from the shock, and found that the ho ise was on fire. Edward at once set to work to rescue the others from the building. Hs dragged their insensible forms out one by one, and carried out his infant brother, who was sleeping in a cradle. After he had rescued .all those in tbe dining room he racceeded in extinguishing the flames with a few pails of water. By this time some of the neighbors came to his assistance, and the inseL sible persons were removed to the nearest hous\ Beet family—Winter Wheat Fata per bbl $61 FEED—Chop, corn, corn meal, cracked co and middlings per 100 lbe I Wheat Bran per 100 lba » Oats ,....per bushel 41 Hay—Long per 100 lbs 91 Cut Hay per 100 Ibt $1.( 6UGAB—Standard Granulated 8o per ABugar 7ieper 0 8* per Extra C 7o per COFFEE—Old Government Java, D8 to S2c Moraccibo 28c Bio, very good... ...20 to 22c "How did you come to go iuto the lottery, Mr. Lowber?" asked tbe reporter.

A BURGLAR MAKES A H*UL. He Holds Up a Station Agent and Gets Away with a Large 8am of Money. Gallatin, Mo., April 23.—About 9o'clock on Friday night a masked burglar entered the station at Pattonsburg, on the Wabash road. He covered the agent, the only person In the station, with a pistol, and demanded the key, which he received. He then made the agent occupy a given position and proceeded to plunder the safe, securing from $6,000 to k 10,000 in money. Among the booty was one express package of f8,000, a letter containing #100 and a number of express packages. He also took all the express, freight and ticket funds, and robbed the agent of his own money and valuables. The robber then backed out of the station, mounted a horse and rode away. He has not yet be n captured. At the starting signal they moved altogether, great waves of cheering breaking upon tbe air. The wagons continued on over the level, green plain until they were about half way across the northern tier of claims and then upward of a hundred of them were brought to a standstill. The others rolled on to the lower tiers. Men, women and children poured from the stationary schooners, and in an incredibly short time the foundations for the pioneer homes of Oklahoma had been laid by willing hands. Every farm had more than one claimant, all ready to swear that they crossed the b jrder first and that theirs were the first improvements. So it is all ovaa. the territory and especially on the sections adjoining Guthrie and Oklahoma City. A Stirring Scene. Dr. Olmsted, who lives at Cross River, was the nearest physician, and he was summoned but he did not arrive until Sunday afternoon. Mr. Adams was still in a critical condition, being badly burned from head to foot His clothing was nearly all torn from his body, Nellie Adam-, 10 years old, recov red congciousness and lived until 7 o'clock Sunday morning.

Mr. Holm then brought to the hungry passengers the welcome news that a lunch, consisting of bread, butter, meats, salads and coffee, had been prepared for them on the wharf. The 865 immigrants were not long in accepting this invitation, and soon they forgot for the moment their recent ordeal, while they satisfied the cravings of their appetites. At the table, some 200 feet in length, were the second steward of the Danmark, William Scbanderbug, and the ill fated steamer's pur.-er, Hans Hemphill.

Between 80,000 and 80,000 people were dumped here today by the Santa Ke roadj which ran twenty immensj tra ns from Arkansas C ty. The trains moved across the Ch6rokee strip cautiously and slowly and .arrived here scarcely more than five minutes apart. As they approached the land of promise thousands of heads protrude 1 from the windows and curious eyes feasted on the green panorama that lay before them. There was much fighting to get out of the cars when the little building which answers for a station was reached. Nobody was hurt, however, and the coaches were soou emptied. It was a curious to watch the boomers after they had got fairly on foot. The majority of them seemed to be dazed by the vastneS8 of their surroundings. Many of them gazed stupidly to the north, south, east and west, and then moved like men who were lost. Others started for the hills, and still others bent themselves to the task of raising tents which they brought with them to open various kinds of business Those who went for the hills wore after claims. Just how well their explorations succeeded is not known, for very few of them have returned. Scores of the- Various Games Played Throughout the Country. Mr. Roth made arrangement" for the transportation of the immigrants who were going west, and they all left on a special train on the Pennsylvania road at midnight. Many of them expect to locate in the far west, while others will go but a few hundred miles. There were a few passengers destined for New York. Among these were the twenty-eight cabin passengers of the Danmark. They also left the city before midnight "rtie immigrants who will locate fh the west will be carefully provided for until they reach their destination. Natives of tho Cameroon*.

It is safe to say that every farm in the territory is In possession of one or more claimants, aud that besides there are from 20,000 to 30,000 more wandering aimlessly about in search of land. The rush at the land office here is terrific. The building is surrounded by a mob of howling men, which is being constantly augmented by horsemen, who are galloping in from every quarter. Land Agent Dilley and his force ot assistants are unable to give attention to a hundredth part of the business that is being forced upon them.

Up to the 4th inst. our trip on the Danmark had been a pleasant one. On the latter date, however, we encountered a severe storm. We would have weathered it all right, I suppose, had our engines held out, but the shaft broke near the aft end -of a section. As a result a hole was cut through the bottom of the vessel. It appears that simultaneously with the breaking of the shaft an engine pipe burst, and Engineer Kaas was instantly killed. Another leak was caused by the bursting of the pipe in the side of the vessel. Thus matters grew very serious, and our vetsel was left at the mercy of the waves.

The measure is likely to stand over until next session. Welden, however, says that rather than have it defeated he will limit the retroactive clause, which is the objectionable feature, to a term of yearn. The boodlers are working hard against the bill. Welden says if he is defeated before the year is out public sentiment will have been so thorough'y aroused in the bill's favor that parliament will not dare to reject it another session. There are many fugitives from United States justice who have for a half century resided in Canada, where they have reared respectable families and where their father's crime has long since been forgotten. It is represented that if the bill is made retroactive it will place many of this class within its scope. The measure is sure to be defeated, unless the retroactive clause is abandoned.

"When in speaking distance Capt Knudsen asked if the Missouri could take our passengers on board. The commander of the latter steamer said that that would be impossible as be had nowhere to put them. He promptly agreed to take us in tow. We got along well enough for a few hours, when .it was discovered that the water was fast pouring into the steamer through the hole in her stern. The pumps were kept going without intermission, but they proved almost useless as far as saving the vessel was concerned. We kept at it, however, until the 6th, and then it was seen we could no longer hope to save our ship. As noon approached the danger grew more imminent. Capt. Knudsen boarded the Missouri and asked that his passengers be received on her decks. At 2 o'clock the work of transferring the hundreds of souls from the Danmark to the Missouri was begun. First the women and children were taken aboard the Missouri, then the men and lastly Capt. Knudsen and his crew. You may imagine that during this time the excitement was intense, but any semblance of a panic was averted by the coolness, of both Capts. Murrell and Knudsen, and the prompt manner in which the crews obeyed their every order. After six hours' work, at 8 o'clock on the night of the 6th, all the passengers of the Danmark bad been safely transferred to the Missouri. Of course, a large part of the latter steamer's cargo bad to be jettisoned before accommodations could be found for the 731 souls. Many of these bad to abandon their valuable effects, as the amount of goods which each passenger was allowed to retain was necessarily limited to what was absolutely indispensable.
