homa. was nominated us candidate for
delegate to congress on the thirtieth
ballot last night, the vote being taken
at 9:30 o'clock. Every county had
voted but Woods and Ferguson had
63 votes. When Chairman Gillette
called for the Woods county vote :he
chairman of that delegation held ihe
great crowd in suspense for a few
moments, and said:
"Woods county casts forty-one votes
for Thompson B. Ferguson."
This was the first vote of the entire
delegation cast for Ferguson in the
convention, and when the result was
announced there was excitement of
the wildest kind among the delegate*,
dozens of whom left their seats- to
congratulate Mr. Ferguson, who stood
back of the Blaine county del( ?atior.
while the voting was in progress. *
The voting was strenuous, n th to
the delegates as well as the candi-
dates. Uefore adjournment ye« erday
afternoon it began to/ look like the
nomination would be a long drawn
out affair and during the supper
^.irffates were de-
sirous of adjourninir umu -* • ic- 'late,
tipon convening last night a motion
to adjourn was voted down almost
unanimously. The first few ballots
showed about the same vote of the
afternoon. After the twenty-fifth
ballot Ferguson begun to gain ito idily
until ids nomination on the thirtieth
ballot. One member of the Oklahoma
county delegation (which cast twenty-
eight straight votes for Mitscher) with-
drew from the Mitscher forces on the

When Mr. Ferguson was escorted to
the platform to address the conven-
tio he was roundly cheered by the
various delegations and it was several
minutes before order could be re-
stored. Governor Ferguson said, in
part:
"I thank you heartily tonight for
this expression of confidence on your
part and 1 want to say that having
been declared the nominee I have no
fear but that I will be elected to con-
gress from the Second district. For
what I have seen here tonight, cer-
tainly demonstrates that this conven-
tion will go down in history as the
'stand nat1 convention. Willie I was
governor of the territory during my
four years' term I recognized no fac-
tions of the party. I want to reiterate
my statements hero «*«■<<<" tonight that
if elected I shall not recognize any
factions of the party. I believe that
this convention Is a stamp of approval
for higher ideals. I want the com-
ing constitutional convention to place
a plank giving the new state the au-
thority to regulate railroad taxation
properly in order that there ma\ be
no discrimination In favor of any
railroad corporation or any other cor-
poration. I want a railway commission
to be chosen by a direct vote of the
people. I thank you for your kindness
to me and for the complimnet be-
stowed."
The selection of a congressional
committee brought the meeting to a
close and a gieat crowd filed out of
the convention hall cheering for Fer-
guson. The congressional committee
is as follows:
Beaver—No selection.
Blaine—J. C. Fisher.
Caddo—W. M. Morgan.
Canadian—W. W. Juckinan.
Custer—E. J. Murphy.

Geary, Okla., Aug. 29.—-The resolu-
tions presented by Chairman Brown-
lee were adopted unanimously us fol-
lows:
"The republicans of the second con-
gressional district of Oklahoma in
convention assembled hereby declared
and publishe the following resolu-
tions:
"Fifty years ago the republican
party came Into existence. During
twenty-six of the forty-six years
which have elapsed since*the election
of Lincoln the republican party has
held complete control of the govern-
ment. It has commanded the confi-
dence of the Americans for nearly two
generations, to a degree never equalled
In our history and lias displayed a
high capacity for rule and govern-
ment, which has been made even more
conspicuous by the Incapacity and the
Infirmity of purpose shown by its op-
ponents. We therefore point with
pride to the record of its achievements
in the past and confidently face the
future.
"Be it resolved that we give our en-
thusiastic endorsement to Theodore
Roosevelt, and commend his high
ideals and exalted ideas of public pol-
icy. We point to his administration
as the highest standard of popular
government for which the Americans
have always stood. We believe that
his renomlnatlon and election would
be a declaration for the purest and
best government, worthy of the most
exalted citizenship.
"Be it resolved that we are proud
of the present administration of the
territorial government under the guid-
ance of our gifted young governor,
Frank Frantz and we pledge him our
support in his investigation of railroad
and corporate abuses and his work
of reform.
"Be it resolved that we endorse the
able and the untiring work of Dele-
gate Bird 8. McGuire for securing
the passage of the statehood bill for
Oklahoma and Tndlan Territory.
"Be It resolved, That the republican
party has a consistent and unbroken
record of advocacy and achievement
in the way of internal development
and improvement; the national home-
stead law, under the beneficent opera-
tions of which the western states
have been peopled with their millions
of prosperous and contented inhabit-
ants; the free homes law. which so
materially assisted in laying the basis
of the present agricultural prosper-
ity of Oklahoma, and the national
emigration reclamation act, which
will ultimately lead to the industrial
subjugation of many millions of acres
of desert wilderness, were all placed
upon the statute books of the nation
at times when the republican party
was In full control of both legislative
and executive branches of the fed-
eral government ami we submit that
the performances of the past are a
promise for the future.
"He it resolved, That we favor"the
nomination of the United States sena-
tors by a direct vote of the people.
"Be it resolved, That we favor the
disposition of the school land of Ok-
lahoma, In accordance with the pro-
visions of the enabling act passed
at the last session of congress.
"Be it resolved, That we are in fa-
vor of a law permitting the Indians of
the new state of Oklahoma to sell
three-fourths of their allotments."
Geary. Okla.. Aug 29.—Jerome
Harrington, of Watonga, made the
speech that placed Cloven o Fergu-
son before the convention as a candi-
date and spoke as follows:
"Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
are about to be blended Into one
magnificent empire. We soon shall
cease to be two separate territories,
and with boundaries and fortunes
Joined, enter the sisterhood of states
as one great commonwealth. Through
many years our people here at home,
and able men In states beyond, have
labored to this end until we now be-
hold the consummation of our patient
effort. Despair and doubt are swept
away. Our apprentlcehlp Is at an
end. We are a state.
"Up to this time in national affairs
we have been political children, de-
nied a voice beyond the narrow con-
fines of our borders. In the nation's
government we have been mute on-
lookers. There are In this audience
today fathers who have built homes
here for their wives, sons and daugh-
[ ters, and never in their lives have
: cast a vote for those who ever guard
i those homes and families. A natlon-
; ally disenfranchised people are about
! to be i ofrus*M with nation-it huino
j w. snnukl therefore bend our ener-
gies toward the development of our
' now broader field of national activity
| and usefulness. We should use our
suffrage with discretion and with wis-
dom.
"But let us enter upon our larger
husbandry, not only with earnestness
but with thanksgiving. We are Indeed
a chosen people. Do you know of a
state whose broad acres have yielded
more abundant and diversified har-
vests? Do you 4cno\v of sturdier men
to gather them? Do you know of a
state whose heart holds more varied
hidden treasure? Do you know of
stronger men to make her yield them?
Do you know of a state more trium-
phantly placed? New York is the gate-
way to Europe, Chicago is the trav-
eled road to the north, San Francisco
is the golden gate to the Orient. New
Orleans is the water way to the Indies,
but Oklahoma is the open door to the
splendid great southwest. Over our
prarles, across our rivers shall come
a caravan unequalled since the days
of the California gold fever in '4 9. Our
villages shall become towns. Our
towns shall grow Into cities. Our cit-
ies shall become of world Importance.
Within our boundaries shall dwell
millions of contented men and women.
We must prepare ourselves for self-
government.
"And so, in the very morning.of our
new life we come upon great and
grave responsibilities We must per-
mently assume all the duties of the
older states, and become with them
the Joint makers of laws tending to-
ward the welfare of the republic. The
duty of this convention is to place In
nomination, subject to the will of this
the second congressional district, one
who will honorably and ably represent
this portion of our new state at the
nation's capital. We must make our
selection with credit to ourselves and
to the republican party—the party
which has guided affairs of the nation
until she has become great and strong
— until her Influence for good Is felt
among all the nations of the earth.
In justice to that party, and In Justice
to this great body of voters of the
second district, we must selcct a man
whose every nerve will tingle at the
approac h of wrong; whose pure man-
hood will repel with the force of in-
sulted righteousness every attempt to
bribe him from the path of duty—a
man who will In spoken word and
honest deed uphold the hands of our
great and fearless president, Theodore

ACT WITH MODERA-
TION
ENGLAND AND RUSSIA
Agree as to Persia. No Likely-
hood ot Trouble Between
the Two Nations.
St. Petersburg. Aug. 29.—The lib-
eral papers welcome the semi-official
statement made yesterday in behalf
of the government to the effect that t
would be a great mistake to suppose
that revolutolnary terrorism will be
met by terrorism on ' the part
of the government, and ndding
that the cabinet intends to continue
In the path of reform. But the papers
plainly manifest tin lr distrust of
whether the ministry will be able to
master the situation by the publica-
tion of the ukase providing for the
distribution of land to the peasants.
Some of the papers, however, hail the
announcement as being a distinct
concession from the position which
the government took two months ago
when Premier Goiemykin teliirnod a
non possumus to this demand on the
part of the parliament. The Strana
• alls attention to the fatality with
which the government surrenders al-
ways comes too late and says that
had the appanages been offered with
the crown lands when parliament re-
ft >ed the question, it mi/ht ha • e fui-
nlshed the basis for a reconciliation.
At present the paper doubts whether
it will greatly affect the i-ituutton.
The Ro«sla extols the ukase as be-
ing the emperor's gift of land to the
people and for which the latter
should be thankful, as the price of
land is rapidly increasing, ihe imper-
ial income last year from the portion
to be distributed being 12,843,000.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 29.—The Sem-

ti—.—... The Russian
consul here. M. Laptew, was shot in

cession contractor named Levlnsky,
who fired four times and hit the con-
sul once. The shooting occurred at
the Russian consulate.
Levlnsky was arrested. Ills victim
Is in a dangerous condition.
No Differences Over Persia.
Loudon. Aug. 29.—Although no for-
mal agreement has been signed recent
events, it is thought here, have proved
that Russia and Great Britain are
ready to stand together where their
Interests In Persia are attacked.
The reprimand by the Russian for-
eign <rfTlce of M Hartwrlght, Russian
minister at Teheran (who is said to
have been responsible for the charge
that the British legation there gave
out a bogus telegram expressing th<
sympathy of King Edward with the
Persian liberals) which has not yet
; been officially reported to the foreign
office is regarded as proof of Russia's
sincerity.
The foreign office officials express
surprise at the recent announcement
In the official messenger of St. Peters-
burg to the effect that a survey had
been made for a railroad through the
Pamir territory, northeast of Afghan-
istan. It Is thought Improbable that
Russia in her present condition and
in view of her good relations with
Great Britain would attempt to build
the road now. Russia, It was added,
has no commercial Interests in the
Pamirs, the proposed line being purely
strategic and one which Great Britain
would consider to he a direct threat
of an attack on India.

ordinary Interest therefore, surrounds
the place. Business houses and resi-
dences are decorated with flaga and

STRIKE BREAKERS
FOR SAN FRANCISCU
New York. Aug. 29. — Another spe-
lal train loaded with strike breakers
was started for San Francisco last
night by James Farley. Another train
will leave tonight ami still another
may leave tomorrow night.
Farley's headquarters n -emblo the
headquarters of a general In the field,
llis exi edition 1.- being equipped with
ammunition, medical supplies and
surgical attendance. Seventy-five
thousand rounds of cartriges have
bi >11 ordered for tin* men. 1100 re-
volvers have been furnished. "The
condition In San Francisco is a very
serious one," Farley said last night.
"I fear that it will be necessary to
a*k fpr federal troops. It Is not only
serious In the point of menu *e to the
peace of the city, but also In Its men-
ace to the future of the city. l'nle-s
the street car travel Is resumed at
once and kept up, hundreds of mer-
chants will fall."
As soon as he has 2,500 men on the
way. Farley will leave New York o;i
a fast train for the coast.
San Francisco, Aug. 29.—The fourth
day of the street car strike found the
disputing parties further apart than
ever. The refusal of the men to re-
port for work and the announcement
of the corporation that it is bringing
out Farley's strike breakers eontrib-
ut'd to lessen the hitherto friendly
feeling • xisting between emplojer and
employee. The car men declared they
are not disturbed by the coming of
Farley's men. They say that western
conditions are utterly dissimilar from
those of eastern states and that the
hnh-tnilOnlsls will encounter entirely
unlooked for obstacles. The railway
officials have thus far declined to say
when they will attempt to begin oper-
ating their lines. Farley Is expected
Saturday or Sunday and if the com-
pany contemplates putting any of its
plants In motion before that time the
move Is being carefully guarded. At
the various car barns the company
has its guards and union men are
on picket duty, but the best of order
prevails.
San Francisco, Aug. 29.—The car
men's union last night replied to Pres-
ident Calhoun's Invitation to return to
work. The answer Is a firm refusal
and a notification that the company
In its further negotiations must deal
with the union and not with the men
as individuals.

with the directors of the embarrass-

afternoon, Receiver Earle said that In
his estimation the receivership will

will be able to resume business at an

several days before he would be able

Regarding the condition of trusts

id:

I have not had an oppor-

on to believe that all trust
I funds are Intact."
I The hopeful view of Mr. Earle Is
shared by financial interests gener-
I ally.
It was reported that an effort was
being made to help out the bank with
the view to re-opening It within 48
hours, but It was denied by the heads
of the larger banks. Some directors
however, have not abandoned hope of
accomplishing litis object and have
i been lining their personal influence
with the object of ral-'ng the requir-
ed $3,500. noa to meet a similar
1 amount subscribed by the Clearing
House \'--oelntion yesterday. and thus
meke op the deficiency of $7.0(10.000

hanker subscribed $500,000 today and
others arc willing to advance large

was the confidence reposed In F K.
Hippie, late president of the Real Es-
tate Trust Company which was yes-
terday forced to the wall because of
the secret trasaetlons of Mr Hippie,
that the Institution was virtually the

only the general assembly which was
a large depositor, but even the smal-
lest Sunday school organizations and
hundreds of Individuals, with abiding
faith In th* integrity of the lute pres-
ident had entrusted their funds and

"It almost destroys a person's faith
In human nature," said H. P. Ford,
private secretary to Dr. Alexander

lication and Sabbath school of the

not Involve any other hanking house
Tn the city. The three depo itorles for
the funds of the trust company were

ket Street National bank and the First

deposits of the trust company, It Is
declared by officials of these Institu-
tions that they nre in no way in-
volved in the failure
According to John K*. Mlchener,
president of the clearing house asso-
ciation. that body stood ready to ad-
vance all the money required by the

security was offered. The directors
of the trust company are severely
criticised by members of the clearing
Iiouj-' association for their failure to
acquaint themselves with the condi-
tion of. the company und the transac-
tions <.f President Hippie.
"They kip-w nothing more than we
had he; id." declared Mr. Mlchener,
"and they were not even familiar with
the securities In their possession. The
company was also engaged In a bend-
