WILD RACE FOR OKLAHOMA LANDS

It In K«tim»ted That 40,000 Suitler. En. ternd thu Newly Opened Choyi-nue aud Arapahoe Itatervatloun^A

I city Unlit In & Day.

SCltAMBLR FOR FKRR FARMS. KIXGFIBHEB, O. T., April 20. The gr^at race Is over and the Cheyenne ari'd Arapahoe reservations exist no longer. Promptly at noon Tuesday the promised cannon shot was fired and the raoe for homesteads began. Pen or picture would fail to depict the sctfne. As far as the eye cauld reach the line of wagons and liorses extended. The signal was carried along the line by pistol ihots. All watched for the smoke, as the shots could not he heard in some places because of the noise and confusion.

Tbs Army or Uoma-Seckori. :v About 6,000 people mode the race from west of El Reno, as many from Kingfisher, T,000 from the line of the Wichita reservation west of Minco, 3,000 from Rover, as many from Hennessey, and about as many as all these went in small squads all along the line from the Cherokee strip on the north, the pan-handle of Texas on the west and the Kiowa Indian reservation on the south.

Only a Few Accidents.

With all the reckless racing that followed but few casualties occurred. A team ran away and knocked down a horse and its rider, but no one was seriously injured. A load of women in a stylish cab was dumped into Kingfisher creek, but were saved from a watery grave because the water was shallow.

A City liullt In a Day.

The city of Okaarche, 10 miles south of Kingfisher, on the Rock Island, supposed by many to be the future capital of Oklahoma, has been built in a day. It is nearly 2 miles square and is the scene of exciting activity. On one claim forty men are swearing they are first la the order of preference. The population exceeds, that of Kingfisher or K1 Reno. W. J. Ray, special agent of the Rock Island, says that at 12:03 a double-header ran into the new (jjty, and 1,800 people had occupied "the future great" on Cooper creek, northwest of Kingfisher. It In asserted by those who made the race from this city that crowd# of boomers overran all the lands, starting from thv Cimarron river at 11:35. The defeated runners are disgusted, but declare that contests will not pay, as the land is not worth contending for at the price charged by the government. Those who have been successful are jubilant, and declare this is the best country on earth.

Order Prevails*

The quiet and order that prevails is phenomenal, and indicates that the settlers are law-abiding and desirable eitizens. A few dead horses, a few bruised and a few broken limbs constitute all the casualties that have occurred up to the present hour, with no loss of human life, which is most wonderful and miraculous when it is known that not less than 40,000 people have been contending for homes.

Illot at the 1/ind Office.

GUTHRIB, O. T., April 20.—Miss Connfe Soransen, of this place, who went to Oklahoma City Tuesday morniag to file a deolaratory notice covering a claim In the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country, has just returned from that place. She was amdng tha firBt who were admitted to the land office. Sho says that while she was filing her notice the opponents of the seat-warmers made an attack upon the line and that a riot resulted. People swarmed into the land office, where the rioting continued. Several parsons were knocked down and trampled upon, among them being a woman, whose clothes were torn from her. One man, name unknown, was struck on the head and had his skujl fractured atad was fatally injured. Many others were less seriously hurt.

Likely to Do Bloodshed.

BROWN'S VALT-ET, Minn., April %Q.— There Is serious trouble among Sisseton squatters and filers, and more than oile fist fight Is reported. Many quarter sectioifs now contain two shantios and two residing claimants. In numerous cases squatters, after staking their claims and goiug to town for material to build shanties have returned to find thq land occupied by another, who claims to be the original squatter, and the man who filed at the land office makes a third claimant. Reports from this place to the effect that two boomers had been killed is wholly unfounded, but that there may be some bloodshed now peems probable.

The Sow Lands.

[The Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation, where 30,000 clticcns of the United States have found new homos, Is situated in the Indian territory, between the CberoUee outtat on the north and the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reservation on the south. I to eastern border adjoins Oklahoma and 1U western the Panhandle of Texaa. Its area is muoh greater than It is generally understood to be. It would make two Oklabomss or Ave Rhode Islands,while the whole states of Con* necticut and llhode Island could be set down 1c it and there would still remain room for four Districts of Columbia. It contains about 0.900 square miles or 4,000,000 of acres. Out of this the resident Indians havu been lotcd by thp government 63G.W5Q acre*, giving to each of the 9,356 aborigines 1M acres. There WAS thus left for general settlement about 3,500,000 acres, which, allowing a quartet section, or 100 acres, to eadi home seeker, woutd aesommodate about 88,000 settlers outside of the town sites.]

Dyeing Works Burned.

NEW YOHK, April 20.—The Staten Island dyeing works at West New Brighton, S. I were burned, with a large quantity of goods ready for shipment, Tuesday. The estimated loss is 5100,000 insurance. 840,000.

Gone with th« Funds.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.—It is alleged that the Western Mutual Benefit association has collapsed and that W. S. Biddle, its manager, has absconded with 970,000 of 1U funds.

IN CONGRESS.

Both Branch.. Hold Kxceedlngly Quirt Rcflslonft. WASMxr,TON, April 20.—The senate agreed to Senator George's resolution for an inquiry into the present condition of agriculture in the United States. It also passed the West Virginia direct tax bill and the-bill to establish a court of appeals for the District of Coluw bia. It then proceeded to the consideration of executive busiuess.

In the house Mr. Catcliings (Miss.), from the committee on rules, reported a resolution directing the committee on civil service reform to investigate whether all or any of the officials In Baltimore found by the invebtigution of the civil service commission to have violated the law are still in ofliee, and whether any such officials havo been indicted and proceeded against in tho courts for such violation of the law. Adopted.

Mr. O'Ferrall (Va.) then called up the Noyes-Rockwell contested election case. He gave notice that at the end of ten hour's debate he would demand the previous question. Though election cases in the house seldom attract much attention from the judges who are to decide upou them, tho judges who listened to the arguments of counsel listened to them with the closest interest, and there was an unusually large number of judges in attendance. The case was opened by Mr. Lawson (Ga.). lie was followed by Mr. Johnson" (lnd.). lie spoke for Mr. Noyes. Mr. Bacon (N. Y.) argued for the contestee. Pending action the house adjourned.

AFRAID OF THE RUSTLERS.

The War Department Worried Abopt the Situation in Wyoming. WASJIINGTOK, April 20.—The "rustler" trouble in Wyoming was the principal topic of discussion at the meeting of the cabinet Tuesday. All the members were present except the secretary of the treasury and the attorney general. The situationln Wyoming is re garded as serious in view of tho fact that the feeling against tha prisoners in charge of tho military is very bitter and also because of the freely expressed threats of desperate man that they mean to avenge the killing of Champion and Roy at the first opportunity. No word has been received from Col. Van Horn and his oaptives at Fort Mclvinney since Saturday morning, when he telegraphed Gen. Brooke at Omaha that he would start that day for Douglas to turn his prisoners over to the civil authorities. Efforts to communicate with Fort McRinney and vicing since that date have failed, and this has led to the belief that the rustlers or their sympathizers have destroyed all telegraphic communication so as to prevent the authorities from learning the true situation of affairs until after their own purpose had been accompllshed.

HILL FAVORS FREE SILVER.

Forced to Declare Himself In a Vote on the Arizona Funding- BUI. WASHINGTON, April SO.—Senator Hill was forced to place himself on record in the senate on Tuesday on the silver question and voted with tha free stiver men. The issue was forced by the vote on the motion to strike out the provision in the Arizona funding bill making the interest payable in gold and insert instead the words "lawful money." A yea and nay vote was called for. The motion was adopted by a vote of S5 to 23. After a general silver debate the bill as amended was passed and sent to conference with the house.

Dlam Nominated hlr Mexican President. Crrv or MEXICO, April 30.—At the third session of the convention of the liberal party, which assembled iu the hall of the deputies at S:30 Monday night, President Diaz, was unanimously elected a candidate for reelection, representatives of twenty-two states, two territories and the federal district voting on the nomination. When the result was announced to President Dia* he made a brief speech, replete with patriotic sentiment and promises for the future. l'lenty of Coin In Circulation.

WASHINGTON, April 20. Director Leech, of the United States mint, says that there is now stored in the vaults of the treasury department upwards of $500,000,000 in silver and the coinage of 450,000 ounces monthly for circulation is still going on. In gold and silver there is a billion and a hatf dollars in cireulation in this country, so that there is no need for a scare on financial resources at this time.

Reciprocity with Moxlco.

WASHINGTON. April 20.—The house committee on foreign affairs took action looking to a further enlargement of the reciprocity policy. This time the republic of Mexico is the country with which it is proposed to enter into closer commercial relations. The resolution, the passage of which the committee recommends, provides for a joint reciprocity commission on the part of Mexico and of tho United States.

SAN FHANOISCO, April 20.—The heaviest earthquake experienced in California since the one of '(IS occurred shortly before o'clock Tuesday morning. The country within 20li miles of San Francisco was visited by a. shook which varied in intensity at different points. In half of this city tt number of large buildings trembled perceptibly, but the only one to sustain damage was the old church building, wlileli until lately had been occupied by the academy of- science. The front wail gave way. tearing away the balconies.

Destruction at Vnciuilli1.

The town of Vaeaville, situated in the heart of the beautiful Yaea valley, ll", miles from San Francisco, was the (.-enter of the seismic disturbance. -Vaeaville is a town of 2.700 population, and on its main street were a number of brick buidings. These were all cither badly damaged or totally destroyed, as well as a number of bricl resiliences in the town and vicinity. Many of the walls fell outward into the street, which was tilled with debris, but which

and within a few miles of the latter place, were also scenes of considerable destruction. The masonic hall at Dixon, a two-story brick block, was ruined and lt« falling walls shattered two adjoining, houses. Fire, which broke out. among the ruins, caused some damage at Winters, but the danger was lessened by an abundant water supply.

IN

Iu Pleasant Valley, between Vncaville and Winters, the shock was terrific. John Thistle, Jr.. who lives in Pleasant Valley, left lamp burning when he retired. When the shock on me the lamp was overturned and with all its contents was the occupants barely Willi their lives. The re C'arl Gates, about three miles from Vaeaville, was almost totally demolished. Rev. O. O. Felkncr, of San .lose, was visiting there, and was very severely injured by falling brick ami timbers. He was frightfully cut about the head and face, having no less than a dozen wounds. The residence of W. .1. Bobbins near town is a complete wreck. Miss Lou Dobbins was caught by falling debris, but escaped with a fracture of the hand and a few painful bruises.

WHIU C'OIIIIII**-.

At Winters the inhabitants were for a time panic-stricken owing to the severity of the shock. Forty guests were in the two-story Bliss hotel at Winters, the walls of which collapsed, and the fact that no one was injured was remarkable. Old and new brick schoollnuse6 and several new brick buildings in Winters wore cracked and wrenched from their foundations.

Kffect on a t'm'k.

The banks of Pulnh creek caved in and fissures opiJlied in the bottom of the creek. Three miles west of the town an acre of ground slid into the crcek and small fissures were made in thircountry road. Several great bowlders were thrown from the hillsides at a point on Berryessa road near Winters, blocking the roadway. Considerable damage was done to isolated farm buildings, but no serious personal injuries are reported.

Ritent of the DatiiKg«».

The town of Monticello, 17 miles from Winters, was first reported totally demolished, but a gentleman arrived from there late Tuesday afternoon and reported the damage nominal. The losses at Vaeaville. owing to the destruction of buildings and other property are estimated at §100,000, at Dixon $.10,000 and at Winters from 370,000 to $100,000. Elmira, Fairfield, Santa Rosa, Woodland, Davisville and Benicia report windows and crockery broken and a number of chimneys overturned. Some thirty or forty towns report trifling damages, though all accounts agree in placing the intensity of tho shock as greater than of any in recent years.

The Khock.

The number of shocks felt differed at various places. At some points onlyone shock was registered, while at others two or even more occurred. The vibrations extended from north to south and from east to west. The single shock is generally described as being the most intense, the vibrations where mora than one shock occurred becoming confused.
