An (ar an the eye could reach in eltliur direction could be eeen men mounted, In waxon, and on foot, clely uu led tKetlier, making a solid column tfX) dt or more wide In the middle, and taerin away to a mere itreak of hlaclc In the dlatance. Confuiion rolgnod everywhere. Bo cloeoly were the conteetanta packed together, the start wan hazardoue. Horsemen were unseated, wagons overthrown and pedes trians prostrated in the mad rush . Cow boys on ponies took the lead, and had gone hut a short distance when they spread out over the prairie, and dis mounting, set fire to the thick prairie grans, hoping thus to turn aside those ho were following. The fires spread rvli(y at first, but were soon stopped by i deep gully which parallels the Cherokee ine three miles south of here. The horses could not tie urged through the flumts and many turned back. No lamage was done by the flames further than destroying the grass and impeding the races. James II. Hill, of Kingborn, J. was shot and inxtantly killed by a soldier ot the southwest corner of the Chiloeo reservation, lie started into the strip before the signal was (riven. The soldiers warned him to stop, but he did not hee-i the warning and they fired upon him. He had $500 and it was given to the sheriff. In the race many men were injured and some killed. Of the latter, two were murdered one eUbhed and the other shot through the head. Many dead horses are on the prairie. Eour new townsites have populations estima ted at 6000 each, ;EvetT desirable claim has at least one claimant and many have two or four. Contests, of course will be numerous. The sol diers shot four sooners near Stillwater, 0. T., and Arkansas City, Kan. Wagons and freight trains loaded with supplies followed the settlers into the strip Camp fires dot the prairies in all direc tions tonight. The drouth has dned up the streams, and those who failed to provide themselves with water are forced to endure Buffering. "SOONKRS" OETTHC BEST LAND. Fkkry, 0. T., Sept. ia.-Thia town, the co"nty seat of county "0" and the principal townsite on the Santa Fe road, fell into the hands of "sooners." Seven minutes after noon horsemen were seen riding in this direction from Flint hills over toward the east, and five minutes later 200 horsemen under the leadership of Jim Masterson, mounted on Bill Dalton's famous horse, occupied lotn adjoining the land office, where the business portion ot the town will doubt less be built. That they were "sooners" who had been hiding in the Flint hills is absolutely certain, for they could not ride nine miles in 12 minutes, At 12:45 the honest boomers began to come in. They too, were mounted on horses, and beat the Santa Fe excursion trains eight minutes. Karly this morning the troops discovered a score of "sooners,' among them Mrs. Silver, known all over the Veit as proprietress of dunce halls iu mining camps and border towns. The troops brought them to the guard house and kept them here unlil lute this afternoon. D18A1'I"0INTKD BOOMERS HETl'KNED, Aukansas City, Kan., Sept. 18. Dis- appointed boomers are returning by hundreds.. There were at leant ten men to every claim on the strip. As a con sequence, there win oe corneals wunuui numbers, and there are reports of several murders committed on account of them. Deaths by prairie fires are reiiorted to be numerous. The strip wub again visited by hot winds today The wind here reached a velocity of 30 miles an hour. It was laden with in tense heat and Band, and made life a burden. It caused a rapid spread of the prairie fires, and the reports of loss of life in the flames are expected to be numerous. Nearly every townite in the strip has a riyal. Enid, one of the county seats on the Rock Island road has a rival with the same name two miles south of it. t The government re fused to locate a site at the Kock Island station because an Indian allotment was taken adjoining it. Isow the Hock 18' Innrl rufiiHos to Htoo trains at the govern' mcnt site, and is doing all it can to aid the rival towns. The government town of Perry is also being ignored by the Santa Fe road. Tha Stolen bullion. Washington, 8ept. 16.-The exact facts relating to the reported loss of the gold bullion from the mint at Philadel phia are stated at the treasury depart ment today to be that on account of the demand for coin the vault in which (j 10, 000,000 was stored in 1887 by Preston, during the term of Fox as superintendent and which waa receipted for by 0. C. Pobyshell without weighing, was opened Heptinber 8. The bullion was weighed by Morgan and was found to be 30 bars short. These bars were valued at $134, 000. Morgan at once reported the re sult to the mint bureau, and waa di rected to return at once to Philadelphia to reweigh the bullion. On the second weighing it was still found short. Bince this bullion waa stored in the vault a weighing clerk, an old employe of the mint, had the sole custody of it, and the circumstances indicated that he knew what became of the missing bars of gold. He was thereupon charged with having taken it. He admitted his guilt and then furnished information as to where over 100,000 of it was secreted. This waa recovered yesterday. How much will be recovered cannot be accurately stated, but probably between $1000 and $7000. It is believed the treasury de partment will lose nothing. Philadelphia, Sept. 18. United States ComroiHHioner Bell this afternoon issued a warrant for the arrest of Henry 8. Cochran, charging him. upon the oath of Superintendent O. C. Pobyshell, with "Fraudulently embezzling 30 gold bars, committed to his charge for the purposa of being coined, from the mint of the United States, said gold bars being the property of the United States."

EUctrioity to tha Front- Haverhill, Mass., Sept. 16, A vast scheme is nearing completion whereby the entire electric-road system of New England will be placed under the con trol of one syndicate. The scheme U not only to consolidate the various roads, but to build a trunk line that will con nect the various cities of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachnseta. The start has been made, and Nelson Spai- ford, surveyor, now has a force at work laying out lines from Nassau to this city, a distance of 40 miles. This road will be built in the spring and will be ex tended to Manchester and Concord, Another line is to be built from the Amesbury liue through to Hampton and Portsmouth by the Maine branches, thence to Portland. This line will con nect with the Lawrence, Howell & HaV' erhill line, the Amesbury and Merrimac, and the Newburyport & Amesbury. These roads are controlled by various companies, the Shaw, the North Shore Traction, the Western, and a Connecti cut syndicate. Want Oolleotioni Delayed. Pendleton, Or., Sept. 15. A Convent ion of 500 wheat raisers, representing Eastern Oregon and the Walla Walla district of Eastern Washington, met at Athena, Umatilla county, September 10, to consult upon the interests of the wheat raisers of the Inland Empire in the pres ent money stringency and reeolved, by a unanimous vote, that to compel wheat- growers to sell their crops at the present prices would result in universal ruin to them ; that if they could hold their wheat until December 15, the price would appreciate above the cost of production and the crop would sell for enough to pay off the debts due country merchants and banks and leave a slight margin for the farmers to live on during the coming year. A committees of three consisting of Nathan Pierce, David Ashpaugh and W. A. Sample. Haw GoTenor General of Oanada. Quebec, Sept. 17. Lord Aberdeen, the new govenor-general of Canada, landed here today. The vice-regal party landed at 9 o'clock and were mot by the domin ion and provincial minister, Mayor Fre mont aed others . They were attended by the Queen's Own Hussars to the citadel, where they will reside while here. There was no formal reception. The swearing in of the earl as govenor-general will take place at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning in the council chamber. Washington, Sopt. 19. The situation in the senate on the repeal bill reached a crucial stage this morning. Voorhees, leader of the repeal forces, after a sensa tional denunciation of the New York bankers and a defiance to the press that has been criticising his actions and questioning his motives, demanded that the minority of the senators name the date for the final vote. Dubois of Idaho met the demand by a positive declara tion that the anti-repeal men would oppose the passage of the repeal bill by availing themselves of every advantage afforded them nnder the rulea and usages of the senate. Voorhees retal iated by giving notice that be would tomorrow move for longer and more nearly continuous sessions, bo the situta tion in the senate appears to re sol ye itself into a mere question of endurance. AN OILY BILVEBITE. Dubois of Idaho said many senators) were yet to be heard. Continuing; he said : "My own opinion is that tho senator in charge of this measure would better proceed in an orderly manner and in i he customary way. He will reach a result sooner by that course. The opponements of repeal are ready to join issue with the friends, whether it be for longer sessions, continuous sessions or cloture. The passage of the repeal bill would sound the death knell of silver as a money metal. No jugglery with words could obsecure the issue. The senators would talk sweetly about inter national agreement forcing England to bimetalisra, but when the pending bill had passed the doom of silver would be sealed and the senators all know it. Yon shall not commit the deed if we can pre vent it by any honorable means known to the usage of the senate. Our duty is plain to ns. We believe we are the last hope and bulwark of the people in this last struggle." Corner Btoia Anniversary. Washington, Sept. 18. Today the centennial anniversary of the laying of the corner-stone of the capitol was cele brated with ceremony and pomp befitting the occasion. It was 100 years ago today that George Washington, "Worshipful Master of Lodge 22, of Virginia," with Masonic rites, laid the corner-stone of the building, which by slow stages for 95 years thereafter grew into one of the most magnificent structures in the world. Washington on that occasion wore a sash and apron, woven by Lafay ette's wife. The city was then a mere . village, but, escorted by a small band of patriotic citizens and a troop of soldiery, the father of his country proceeded from the White House along Pennsylvania avenue to the east front ot the capitol over the same route taken today by Pres ident Cleveland. The procession today was led by Chief Marshal Ordway and staff, with a squadron ot cavalry, act ing as an escort to the president, followed by the orator of the day, William Wirt Henry, a descendant of Patrick Henry, the governors of various states, Chair man Laurence Gardner and the invited guests in carriages ; a troop of the Dis trict National Guard bringing up the rear, as a further escort. As a conse quence of some trouble between the Catholic organizations and Masonic lodges over the part to be taken in the centennial celebration today by Cardinal Gibbons, both parties to the dispute withdrew entirely from participation. The absence of the Masonic lodges from the parade this afternoon was particu larly noticeable, inasmuch as the laying of the corner-stone 100 years ago was solemnized under their auspices. flepuMioani Betnrnlng Demooratlo Taotiet. Washington, Sept. 19. The quorum of democratic members, upon which the leaders counted today, failed to put in its appearance, and for three hours, by skillful maneuvering, the republicans were able to deadlock the house. The fail ure to secure a quorum so chagrined the house leaders that they threw up the sponge, adjourned and went into caucus. In caucus general unanimity of sentiment for immediate action was expressed. Resolutions, unanimously adopted, de clared it was the sense of the caucus that it ws the duty of democratic member of congress to attend the sessions and vote, in order that, public business may bt considered ana disposed of, and that when the house meets tomorrow it remain in session continuously until a quorum is . obtained.
