of Numbers Are Drawn to Guard

Spokane, Aug. 10. When little
Helen Hamilton, niece of Msyor Boyd,
of Coeur d'Alene, walked into a pile of
105,000 yellow envelopes containing
applications for land of the Coeur
d'Alens Indian reservation yesterday
moraine, short! v after 10 o'clock. the
great land drawing on the three tracts
01 government land the flat bead, the
Coeur d'Alene and the Spokane Indian
reservations was on. '
Several hundred people stood around
the platform, on which Judge James
W. Witten, of Washington, D. a,
formally opened the drawing on one of
the last of the big tract of Uncle
Sam's public domain. Unlike the rush
in "squatter" days, the modern method
of distributing land moved along with
the precision of clockwork. .
When Miss Hamilton, daintily dressed
in white, had plucked the first lucky
envelope from the maaa and handari it
to Judge Witten and the name of Isa
dore Selig, of Myrtle Creek, Or., had
oeen read aloud, the gathering crowds
began to evidence increased interest
and quivering excitement.
A iaint cneer arose and followed in
rapid order as Miss Hamilton, aided
by Miss Christine Donlan and Miss
Harriet Post, clucked tha other luck
envelopes from the pile. Men and
women, now anxious to bear the ver
dicts In the first 20 envelopes, crowded
up to the platform where newspaper
men ana government clerks grabbed
at the bits of news-bearinsr namea and
Started them throughout tha land hv
special wires run to the drawing stand.

ation of the larce scale on which Unda
Sam conducts hia official business. Tha
drawing for the first day closed at 4
o-ciocK. -mo mark of 1600 set by
Judge Witten as the labor for the
nrst day, was reached and tha remain
log 1500 will be drawn today. There
are but about half that many claims to
be given away, but the extra 1500 are
drawn to fill in where winners fail to

IRRIGATION CONGRESS OPEN.
Large Number Gathers at Spokane to
Discuss Important-Affairs,
apoxane, .Aug. io. xae congress
opened with the "Irigatioo Ode," sung
by the Spokane chorus 'of 250 voices.
The address of welcome to the state
was-delivered by Governor Hay, of
Washington.
On behalf of the city Msyor N. S,
Pratt spoke. He caused the suggestion
of a sensation by charging private cap
ital with interfering with government
reclamation projects.
The response on behalf of the eon-
gress was made by George E. Ban tow,
president ox the congress.
It is understood that a number of
stats delegations have declined to com
mit themselves in the matter of indors
ing a candidate for president This
is true in the case of President Bar-
stow, who, although an announced can
didate, has not been urged strongly for
a second term because of the feeling
that tne honor should be "passed
around.'-' Other candidates for the
president of the congress developed
during tne day in the persons of ex
Governor Gooding, of Idaho: ex-Gov
ernor Pardee, of California, and Con
gressman Mondell, of Wyoming. -
The question of a next meeting place
naa narrowed down to a fight between
San Francisco and Pueblo, Colo., with
Denver pledged to aid the latter.
The new constitution privilege, the
busniess-like basis so much desired by
the congress, was adopted without die-
sent. - .
Bank Guaranty Law Effective.
Austin. Texas. Auir. 10. The new
guaranty of bank deposits law passed
bv the recent SDecial session of tha
Texas legislature went into operation
yesterday. The law is similar to the

ant provisions. It provides for and de
fines two alternative methods or plans
lor the protection of the depositors of
state banking corporations which are
referred to as the "enarantv fund
plan" and the "bond security plan,"
respectively. The state banka may
decide which plan to adopt.
Six Die in Fire.
Chicago, -Aug. 10. Fire which
swept away 20 residences in South
Chicago this looming burned at least
six persons to death. All the occupants
were asleep and the fire spread with
great rapidity. In the great confusion
it is feared several children were
burned to death in their beds. A ma
jority of the victims are Poles, who
lived in small tenements, closely
crowded together, with scant chance
for escape.

CANNOT STOP STRIKE.
King Unable to Control Labor Sttua
tion in Sweden.
Stockholm, Aug. 10. The tie-up of
the business of the country as a result
of the strike is so serious that King
Guatav intervened in an endeavor to
secure a compromise. The king to
day sent a message to the parties at
conflict, exhorting them to agree at
the earliest moment possible and ad
vising arbitration.
It was after King Gustav'l message
had been approved at a cabinet meet
ing Saturday that he summoned to a
conference at the palace the two lead
ers of the warring factions Director
Sedow, of the employers, and Senator
Lindquilt, president of the federation
of trades unions.
The result of the conference baa not
yet transpired, but apparently the
king's efforts for a peaceful eolation
of the trouble were without result
Tonight it was announced the printers
would strike tomorrow, and the Na
tional labor union has issued a procla
mation that, beginning tomorrow morn
ing, every drsg wagon whose driver is
not wearing a union badge will be
stopped by strikers. No exception, it
was suted, will be made for owners
driving their wsgons.
The union further declares it will
try to frustrate the attempt of the
Stockholm streetcar company to start
tts cars on the surfscs lines.
COREA SORE SPOT AGAIN.
Many Clashes Occur Between Jap
and Chinese.
Victoria, B. C, Aug. 10. Passen
gers arriving on the steamer Monteagle
from the Orient today in discussing the
situation between Japan and China,
say conditions at Cheintao, on the
Corean border, are more likely to cause
serious trouble between the two na
tions than the dispute over the Antung-
Mukden railway.
When the Monteagle sailed reports
had been received that the Chinese bad
massed 3,000 soldiers at Cheintao
and collisions between them and
the Japanese nolice were frenuent.
Seoul dispatches received before Bail
ing state that, following the arrest of
a party of Coreans by the Japanese at
Cheintao, the Chinese troops attacked
the Japanese and rescued the nriannera
several of the Japanese being wounded.
A boycott has been declared against
the Japanese by the Chinese and Cor
eans of the dsitrict

will be made by President Mitten, of
the Chicago City Railway company.
John M. Roach, president of the Chi
csgo Railways company, has had his
auditors at work figuring out a method
of advancing wsges, and it is said his
first offer to a committee of bis em
ployes tomorrow will boon the same
general basis as that of Mr. Mitten.
The controversy nrobablv will ha ad
justed without resort to outside arbi
tration. The emnloves aav tl.ev are
decidedly opposed to arbitration, and
raiuer man suomn 10 it will accept any
reasonable compromise coming from
ue companies direct

Opium Cause of Revolt.
Victoria, B. C, Aug. 10. Further
particulars brought by the steamer
Monteagle concerning the Mohamme
dan uprising in Shenai and Kenan dis
tricts state the revolt wss due to the
severe methods taken by the Chinese
local magistrate to suppress the opium
habit He seised one of the local gen
try who was an opium smoker, and had
his eyes gouged out and his arms
taken off. The people then rose in re
bellion and attacked the magistrate.

on the port The officers inside the
vessel turned on the power and the
port waa swung out Whiting went
with it cleared himself of the torpedo
tube, and then let go, flying upward to
the surface of the water. He waa un
injured by his ex per ianc.
