The si,nner trouble is coming up
again arid is likely to cause a grout
deal of trouble. A plot has been dis-
covered to sooner the whole of the
Perry town site. The scheme is for
the sooners to enter the strip Friday
night from Okiuhoina and from the
Otoe Indian reservation early Satur-
day morning. It is in the hands of a
powerful and unscrupulous syndicate
of politicians and is sure to succeed
unless the troops can prevent it.

total uumberof persons who registered
on the two days is less than 'J.hOO.
Unless some means be devised to
facilitate tho work at the booths many
of the applicants will miss the oppor-
tunity of registering and the result
will be confusion and cont sts ut the
land offices, which Secretary Suitli
hoped by his registration scheme to
prevent.
The boomers, in order to get rid of
a class of men who are on the ground
to speculate, have passed a resolution
to refuse to permit men to sell their
places in "line. At the outset of the
registration this sort of business was
carried on to a great extent and a
great deal of ill-feeling was caused
among the men who are in line for
the honest purpose of securing claims.
The new order will eliminate from tho
line all adventurers and tho registra-
tion will hereafter progress more ex-
peditiously.
Reports from Stillwater are that

secure desirable claims they ought to
keep out of the run for the strip.

Early this morning a gambler drove
out with two women to see the sights.
A couple of drunken soldiers took
after the women and their companion
attempted to defend them by beating
one of tho soldiers over the head with
a bottle. The soldier tried to got at
his revolver, but not succeeding, the
other soldier got it and commenced to
shoot wildly Ho created a panic
among the boomers, who fled in all
directions. The sheriff coming up at

THIRTY-ONI£ THOUSAND SAFE
Registration Moving: Alone Fairly Well—
Night Force* for Arkansas City.
( WiCrtfTA, Kan., Sept. M.—Chief
J,/ Clerk M. A. Jacobs of the general
land office, who directs all the move-
ments of the Cherokee strip registra-
tion and land office officials from here,
says that up to last night a
little over 31,000 certificates of
registration had been issued
from the several booths. At Arkan-
sas City, where the only serious over-
crop ding seems tg exist, he has de-
cided to put on a night force of clerks,
and this morning made arrangements
to that effect, so that hereafter it will
be an easy matter to register 5,000 to
0,000 people there during the twenty-
four hours. At both Orlando and
Hunncwell three extra clerks have
been ordered into service.
Mr. .Jacobs this morning received a
telegram from Commissioner Lamo*
reaux saying that the following cierks
had been allowed for tho several land
oflices: At Enid, one clerk at SI,000
and one at ¥600; at Perry, two at 91,000,

It Is customary for English news* j
papers aud magazines to sneer at |
what they are ploasod to term tho
reoklessness of American newspapers
in their statement of fact Theso
flings may be warranted in some in-
stances, but no American newspaper
makes mistakes in geography which
could be avoided by looking into a
gazeteer or an atlas. The last num-
ber of the I'all Mall Budget, a cheap,
popular illustrated London weeitly,
speaking of thO yacht Navalioe.
which has been participating in the
Cowes regatta, declares that "tho
name Navahoo is that of an Ameri-
can state." This is nothing unusual,
however, for tho Budget, which a
few months ago announced that
Utah was the only one of the Ameri-
can "states" that had refused to is-
sue paper money!
The beautiful city of Charleston
seems to have apportioned to it moro

lief. And now the fearful cyclone
that swept upward from the Gulfv

Hundreds of lives and millions of J

of the tempest was concentrated upon
the shores and low-lying islands, dis-

Arkansas City, Kan, Sept 13.—
The result of the first day's registra-
tion of Cherokee strip home seekers
was 2,700 certificates issued in ten
hours. When time was called at
night there was seemingly no
diminution of the line and enough
remained on the ground to give the
present force enough hard work for
four days. The force was increased
during the day by two clerks and a
land office clerk was dispatched on
the evening train to Wiehiia for more
clerks.
A feature of the registration is the
large number of women who stood in
line all through the mists of the night
and heat of the day. 1c will be ruin-
ous to many of the men's constitu-
tions, but the women seem to have
stood it first rate.
When night fell on the first day tho
long line of dusty, thirsty, tired men
sank wearily in the dust to piss an-
other miserable night. Then another
industry caine into existence. Hoys had
gathered from hedges along the road
and in the fields with their arms full
of branches and corn stalks which
they sold to the boomers and soon all
along the line small campfires gleamed
and twinkled in the darkness. The
boomers sang songs and called to one
another in the night. Occasionally a
man would start the cry: "Hoke
Smith," with a long drawn, mournful
intonation which would be taken up
and flow along the line with as many
different inflections as the human
voiee is capable of.
Many men have been made seriously
sick through the exposure to the sun
and dust. The physicians say that
the dust is causing more sickness than
the heat. Such dry weather as is now
experienced in this part of the country
was never known. Everything is like
tinder. Everyone is praying for rain.
If rain does not come soon, a great
danger will confront the home seekers
when they at last get on the promised
land. The prairie is so dry that the
least spark wi.l start prairie fires
which will soon spread and may cost
the loss of much property and many
lives.
If the drought continues the horses
will commence to suffc•• for water and
when the run is made many of them
will soon drop from exhaustion and
have to be shot and left.
The crowds of people arriving are
increasing instead of diminishing. In
S|titc of the thousands at the booths
the streets are jammed and it is esti-
mated that at least 4,000 people are
added to the floating population.
The townsite excitement in no wise
abates. There is a line in front of the
Willow Springs tow i otliee a block
long. The place will start with a
population of at least 10,000 people
Saturday. The location of the town
at the only spring of water in the
whole strip and the fact that so many
business enterprise have made ar-
rangement ti? start up at once there is
attracting the cfdWdfc
To? troops are unable to control the
sooner movement and many sav that
registration will only aid the si ^ners.
It is openly said that the soldiers are
iu sympathy with the sooners and
while they will eject any that they
may come across they will not hunt
for them. An organization is being
formed by the boomers who are em-
ploying men who have exhausted
their rights to take public land, to go
in and mix with the sooners and se-
cure evidence against them by being
able to identify them if they attempt
to file.
THOUSANDS ABOUT ORLANDO.
Registration Proceeding Slowly—Perry
the Point for .Most Men.
Orlando, Ok., Sept. 13—The crowd
at. Arkansas City is the largest of them
all but it is hourly augmented in such
great numbers that many are leaving
and crossing over by train to this
place from which point there will be
a better chance of securing claims.
Orlando is about the nearest point
to the Perry land office, where all
agree the big town will be built. On
this account there are more horsemen
gathered here than at any other point
aud the chicf struggle will be for
town lots at Perry or for quarter sec-
tions in close proximity to the town-
sito. From here also the "strippers"
will spread east and west along the
border, especially east near Stillwater
where a rush will be made for the
rich lands south of the reservation of
the Otoes and Missourias and still
further east for the equally good
lands south and west Of the Arkansas
river.
The registration is progressing at
the rate of six a minute. It is esti-
mated that there were 15,000 persons
in line or waiting yesterday morning.
This is probably an exaggeration, but
n i matter what the number may be it
is inc easing faste.- than the clerks
employed in booths can reduce it and
unless they begin to gain soon thev
w.Ii be compelled to work through
the nights and even then doubts are
expressed as to their ability to give
certificates to all applicants before the
hour of the opening Saturday.
Twenty-eight hundred were regis-
ter'.! yesterday. Bat it scarcely made
an impression on the crowd, the line
being longer at night than when the
booths opened and thousands were in
camo on the adjacent prairie. The
clerks worked ten hours, but quit
promptly at 0 o'clock. The crowd
then settled down to wait the night
on the ground. Men, women and
children, negroes and Indians were
p icked in a CorbinOn mass. The wo-
men tried to keep awake, but tired
nature finally asserted itself ami they
stretched themselves upon the ground
and slept, but they held their posi.

At 0 o'clock this ttiorning the crowd
organised a set of committees and

with a captain for each b ock. The

the same time gives the people an op-
portunity to obtain food and refresh-
ments The scheme is a boon to the
women.
There is a rumor here, sai:l to have
originated with Agent Swineford.that
the interior department, in order to
make an even race as nearly as possi-
ble for all, will place soldiers along
the border with orders to make every-
body ride at not to exceed a mild can-
ter. The report pleased the majority
of the crowd, but tho Texans, cow-
boys and other swift riders are pro-
testing
Crowding Through Guthrie.
Guthrie, Ok , Sept 13.—Trains of
wagons a mile in length and in squads
of forty and fifty are passing through
here to-day bound for the strin and
hundreds are com ng in on erery train.
Inspector Swineford states that all
arrangements for the opening are now
completed aud there will be no hitch
anywhere.
The scarcity of water is causing
much suffering everywhere. Near
Stillwater several children have died
from exposure and for want of proper
care. Harry A. 1'ract of New York
city died here last night from expos-
ure while camping on the line.
SILVER MEN FIRM.
A Compromise Seemingly the Only Hope
for a Solution.
Washington, Sept. 13.—The disap-
pearance of panicky conditions
throughout the country, coupled with
what is now understood to be the firm
purpose of the administration not to
accept any compromise on the silver
purchase repeal question, has nerved
the ultra silver men in the senate to
fight indefinitely rather than yield
without conditions. Had the flurry
continued the pressure of public opin-
ion, so it is reasoned, would have been
too great for them to withstand, but
now, with a pleasant "You see the
Sherman law was not responsible,"
they are getting in trim for a fight to
the death.
As the case stands tho senate ap-
pears to be 1,000 miles away from a
vote; the repeal men are in a clear
majority; the silver men will not be
able to hold half their anti-repeal
strength to filibustering purposes,
but it seems that there will then re-
main enough of them to frustrate any
attempt to get a vote on a measure
carrying no recognition of silver. All
that could move them would be the
pressure of the public sentiment
That they profess to fear no longer
now that the tide of prosperity has
set in again so strongly. If they
shall hold to their present purpose,
which strengthens daily, the country
will see the most notable legislative
dead lock in its history.
The senate finance committee, at its
meeting to-day discussed at some
length the resolutions of Senators
Stewart and Peffer, the latter refer-
ring to tho failure of national banks
to maintain proper reserves and cash
the checks of the depositors and the
former directing the secretary of the
treasury tp furnish information as to
the possibility of a deficit No
conclusion was reached but there
was shown a more favorable disposi-
tion towards the reporting of the re#
olution than many, including their
movers, had supposed they would re-
ceive. It seems probable that the
resolutions may later be favorably re-
ported in some form. The committee
also considered Mr. Morgan's b'.'.l re-
pealing the law providing for the re-
demption of subsidiary coin, the pur-
pose of the bill being to keep the Col-
umbian coins in circulation, but also
postponed action upon this measure.
The "enate.
Washington, Sept 13.—In the sen-
ate this morning Mr. Stewart's resolu-
tion providing for a senatorial com-
mittee of five to ascertain whether
any senator was interested as stock-
holder or otherwise in any national
bank by unanimous consent went over
until to-morrow, and on motion of
Mr. Voorhees the repeal, bill was
taken up and Mr. Mitchell of Oregon
was recognized and proceeded to ad-
dress the senate against the bill.
REBEL &HIPS HEMMED IN.
Uracil's Naval Rebellion Now Expected
to Knd In a Fiasco.
Buenos AyRKS, Sept. 13.— Brazil's
naval insurgents are hemmed in with-
in the confines of the bay surrounded
on all sides by land forces loyal to
Teixoto, and for lack of reinforce-
ments or supplies, the revolt is soon
•expected to end in a fiasco like Hear
Admiral Wandenkolk's recent at-
tempt.
Latest advices received here say the
insurgen.s have attempted to land at
various points in the bay, but have
everywhere been repulsed^ and appear
to be disheartened. Admiral Mell in-
cited the garrison in Santa Cruz to
join the revolt, but met with firm
refusal.
Washington, Sept. 12.—To protect
American interests in Rio Janeiro, in
case of serious trouble, the navy de-
partment decided to order the cruiser
Detroit, now at Norfolk navy yard, to
proceed to that place as quickly as
possible, instead of Grey town, Nicara-
gua Neither the state or the navy
departments were in receipt of any
information of the revolution in
Brazil.
Advices just received % from Rio
Janeiro say that the insurgents have
been repulsed with the loss of fifty
men while attempting to land at
Nichery.

Akron, Ohio, Sept. 14,—Thie Kepub*
lican campaign in Ohio was opened
here yesterday with a monster meet-
ing. Republicans from all parts of
Ohio turned out by thousands to give
Governor McKinley a send off. Two
special trains brought the marching
clubs trom Cleveland while hundreds
of other Republicans from that city
arrived ou the regular trains, liig
delegations were present from all the
manufacturing cities within fifty
miles of Akron, many Republicans
coining even from Columbus and Pit ts-
burg. Every township in Summit
county sent a marching club or a cav-
alry company. A conservative esti-
mate places the number of visitors at
40,000.
After the street parade at 1:30
o'clock, Governor McKinley spoke at
Grace park to one of the largest po-
litical gatherings ever assembled in
Ohio. Governor McKinley, after a f *w
introductory remarks, said: "We
meet in political discussion for the
first time since the defeat of 1892. We
meet with deep concern, and in
changed conditions from those happily
existing when we last assembled. The
business condition of the country has
created just alarm among our people,
and it is so grave the president of the
United States has convened congress
in extraordinary session, with a view
of securing prompt relief."
He then quoted from President
Cleveland's last message to c ngress,
showing the chief executive charges
the present condition of affairs to the
operation of the Sherman silver law.
Governor McKinley said that Sena-
tor Sherman h.id introduced in the
last congress a bill to re neal the silver
law, and he believed the great major-
ity of the Republicans in the senate
would uow vote for its repeal, as a
great majority of the Republicans in
the house had voted for the Wilson
bill.
He took it that the law would have
to go. If it was not repealed the
Democrats would have to bear the
blame. The governor continued by
saying that the Republicans of Ohio
found honest money, composed of
gold, silver and paper maintained at
equal value and international, not
state control.
"We do not want to strike down
either gold or silver," he said. "We
want to use both metals, but insist
one shall go at parity with the other,
and that both shall be equal intrin-
sically as legal tender and debt-pav-
ing power."
He said when the business disturb-
ance began the outstanding currency
was the largest in the country's his-
tory, being 81,000,000,000, or $S4.'J5-per
capita. The trouble was not, there-
fore, due to a lack of current. Rut
the money had gone out of circulation
and had been hoarded by the people.
With confidence in the future once re-
stored, with an abandonment of the
declared purpose to introduce a reve-
nue tariff policy in the country, confi-
dence would come back, the money
hoarded would once more find its way
into thj banks and the channels of
trade
The governor turned to the tariff
question and called attention to por-
tions of the r<> >ort of the com mi tee
on resolutions, which were strictly
outlined in the Chicago convention on
motion of Mr. Neal, now the candi-
date for Democratic governor in Ohio.
He said the difference between wages
here and abroad is not to be recog-
nized by the Democrats in revising the
tariff; that no heed is to be given to
inquiries that mav result to domestic
industries; that the Dcmocnts pro-
pose to abandon the raising of rev-
enues from customs and resort to di-
rect taxation; that no regard will be
had for the labor and capital involved
in domestic industries, and that the
new tariff bill is not to be framed on
principles of justice.
No quarter is to be given, but all
our va>t industries must surrender
without terms to the demand of tho
tariff reformer.
• This, then." said he. "is the voice
of the Democratic candidate for gov-
ernor. Is it the voice of Ohio? Will
it be the approved utterance of the
voters of Ohio? This is the principle
upon which the revision is to be made,
and it is the tariff ref >rm referred to
by the i resident in his recent message
to which he declared that every effort
of his administration shall be ded-
icated."
