NOT A CANAAN.

Tho Strip Proves to Bo Far from a Land of Promise.

MANY ARE RETURNING IN DISGUST,

The Land Seems Ilarren ind I'rlces of Food and Watef Are Exorbitant— Many Killed and Injured Durthe Rush for Claims.

DISAPPOINTED BOOMKHS.

ARKANSAS CIXV, Kan., Sept 18.—The myitemy whloh through to many long years of anxious waiting shrouded the real character of the Cherokee strip, the gauzy veil through which expectant liomeseekers thought they •aw a Canaan, has been swept away. The Chorokee strip is now a reality, and very grim reality at that There Is no Canaan about it, either. It was a promised land, but it has not kept its "L8e. It may do so a year (rom ftt prc&ent thft strip is about tho raoHt uninviting quarter on the face of the earth. Water is obtainable tn otily a few places. Food is so scarce that & loaf of bread costs fifty cents and a pound of smoked ham is worth one dollar. Thq weather Is suffo04tin3 and another hot wind is blowing from the south that would parch all vegetation if there was any to parch. The drought of the last month has left the country burned dry. A smoldering dust composed of a combination of fine aaud and ashes from the prairie fires nUs the air and adds to the thirst and general discomfort of the unhappy boomers.

Mad Ruth for Land.

At noon Saturday the signal was given annouueing the passing of tho title at the land from the United States government to the boomers, and a race such as was never witnessed before and will probably never be seen again was begun. On the lines in the vicinity of the various border towns the boomers had gathered In great numbers. As far 9s the eye could reach in either direction could be soon wen mounted and in wagons aq,d on foot qlosely packed together, making a solid column 200 feet or more wide in the middle and tapering away to a mere streak of black In the distance. The scene when the oolumn broke at the firing of the signal gun and each individual entered tho contest for a common prize can be imagined better than described. Confusion reigned everwhere. So closely wore the contestants packed together that tho start was a hazardous one. Horsemen were unseated, Wagons Overthrown and pedestrians prostrated in the mad rush. The cries of angered men mingled with the neighing of panic-stricken horses, the of the racers, the clattering of tfce tattling oil wagons and the snrioklng oflocomotlves combined in a roar similar to that accompanying the progress of a tornado.

Drought Death to Many.

In the race many men were injured and some killed. Of the latter some met death by accident and two were murdered. The dead bodies, one stabbed and the other shot through the taad, tell the manner of death. Many dead horses have boon found on the prairie. Some died of overexertion, some were Slued by falling in the race and others receiving broken limbs in the rough prairie were shot by their owners. The names of some of the victims are as follows:

The Kill Ad.

Mr«. CbarUs T. Barnes, of Eldorado, Kan., run OYM *Bfl Hlledj VCllUani Browning, ot T6»t, totally erusned under hli horse Carl Byon, AMMBOn, Kan., thrown (rom bis horw qn lifflMi Harvey Oheney killed by riding over a bluff Mrs. Sarah Hughes fatally crushod while getting on a train-, Harry Maith.wa killed by riding over a bluff.

Near Blaokbear, northeast of here, the dead body of James Reardon, ot ttllford, Mass., was found on we prairie attar the rush. He had sefifi etablM aeatb, and the Weapon with whloh the orlme t)ad boon committed was found Btioklnf in his breast. Further north the dead body of W. D. Blake supposed to be from Gainesville. Tex., was found. He had been shot through the heart It Is not known whether he was murdered or shot by accident The deiul body of Madeline Granger, of Torre Haute, Ind., was also found on the prairie. There were no marks of violence upon her body ami it Is believed she died from natural causes.

The Injured.

Mrs. Sallle Freeman, of Louisrl'.le, \, leg broken George Ulllott, foot crushed by train Thomas Mcllrldc, of Oklahoma City, skull crusiiuii oy a stake In a quarrel over a lot Honry Polntor. of Ohio, skull crushed by falling from his horse: Jesse Strong, cut in head and faoe in a quarrel over a pony John Wheatley, shot in the leg by aocldental discharge ot his own pistol. Many riderless horses are coming in and it is feared other persons are badly injured.

Unfortunate occurrences were the ahooting down of "sooners" near Stillwater, O. T., and Arkansas City, Kan. The soldiers who did the shooting were Instructed to prevent "sooners" at all hazards, and they point to their orders in justification of their acts.

Estimated Population of 200,000. Judge Wollaek, special agent of the land office, has advices showing the number of people who made the run into the Cherokee strip far exceeds all expectations. The land office had counted on 50,000 to make the run. Fully 100,000 started in the race, and estimating the families of the married men at one to each certificate bearer, the Cherokee strip has a population of 200,000. The advices to Judge Wollach show the racers were divided about as follows among the border towns Arkansas City, 30,000 Orlando, 25,000 Caldwell, 15,000 Hpnnessy, 10,000 Stillwater, -10,000 Kiowa, 3,000 Hunnewell, 3,000 other points, 4,000.

A Iltiay Sunday.

Sunday was generally given over to an effort to bring order out of chaos. The farmers' families have put up tents, arranged their primitive houses as comfortably as possible and have begun^ the search for water, cither in creeks, springs, or In driving wells. The county seats and town sites have become busy communities. X)iose reached by the railways have Deen 'airly well supplied with provisions. In those off the lines of travel commonest commodities command fanoy prices, so greatly does the demand exceed the supply. At Willow Springs water sells at 10 cents a glass,

THE DAILY JOURNAL

bread at 90 cents a loaf and other supplies at proportionate amounts. Restaurants, shops of all kinds, drinking places and gambling housos have been established in tents and are doing a thriving business. At Perry and Wharton ohurch services were held, but were very sllmly attended. People were too weary after Saturday's great raco, too busy in administering to bodily necessities, or too indifferent to go to fihurch.

Dlagaat.d Boomer* Return. KANSAS CITV, MO., Sept 18.—Over 1,000 ex-boomers passed through Kansas City Sunday en route to their homes in all parts of the country from the Cherokee strip. A more tired and disgusted lot of men were never seen together. They had gone to the opening unprepared for such a tremendous rush as occurred and were mainly those who had depended on the trains to take them Into tho strip, but the trains were distanced by the horsemen and wheelmen and they got to the heart of the promised land only to find every claim preempted and ev$ry town lot gone.

ORLANDO, O. T., Sept 18.—Thousands of persons who left their homes in Ok'.ahoma to seek new homes in the Cherokee strip are returning. They thought they were in hard luck in Oklahoma, but are now convinced their condition was paradise compared to what It would be in the new strip. Some say they would not take a claim for a gift

ALLISON ON SILVER.

The Iowa Senator Telia Why He Ia in Favor of Bipwl WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—In the Benate Saturday Senator Pefter (pop., Kan.) offered a resolution (which went over) Instructing the committee on interstate oommeree to inquire what legislation is neoessary to prevent the Interruption of Interstate railway trafflo by lawlesa and unauthorized persons and to punish persons guilty of robbery and murder committed on interstate railway trains.

The senate %t 12:40 took up the repeal bill and Senator Voorhees (dem. Ind.) made another proposition to the opponents of the bill to fix a time to close debate. He suggested Monday, the 25th, for the olose of debate and a vote on September 87, but Senator Teller (rep. OoL) on the part of the opposition declined to make an agreement at this time.

Senator Allison (rep., Ia.) addressed the senate in favor of repeal of the silver purchasing olause of the Sherman law. His remarks were, in substance, as follows:

He made the point that for sixteen years, up to 1892, no political party had gone before the people favoring the tett coinage of sliver or the destruotlon of gold as the measure of value. The law of 1890 was a temporary law. It was an experimental law also, la one sense Nobody believed at the Uma that it would stand long upon our statute books. It Is just as plain a* the noon-day sen, said Senator Allison., that If we go on purohastng silver and putting It In the treasury as bullion, it Is only a Question of a few months (or a few years at most) whan we will fall to redeem our obligations le gold and then we will be at a silver standard. He continued "I want ts repeat my belief now, that all history discloses the tact that wnea you make even a small divergence between the established ratio and tho true commercial ratio, the result is disastrous. I undertake to say that it is utterly Impossible tor us to deal with this question of ratio at this time The ratio of SJ to 1 would be an Increase of ratio because we havp known the price of silver to change by 20 per cent, in a single ilay. The moment the action of the India council was known silver went down 80 por cent In.the next week it went up 13 per cent How. thon, can we make a ratio that will measure the value of all debts and all credits on the basis of the bullion value of silver? The situation in inula has changed the situation here. Wo are trying now to keep up the price of a thing that will go down, below the oost ef production, whatover that may be. "If we continue the silver purchases we uphold the British polloy in India. The laevitable effect ot what we are doing her* is either to uphold or to destroy or impair the ability of England to maintain its polloy la India If we oease to purchase silver it will be Impossible, In my opinion, for England to oarry out that policy and It will become an .utter failure. "If this governaient will undertake the polloy of an international agreement between silver and gold I believe that that policy will be accomplished, that within a brief period we will be able to restore the parity between the metals and praotlcally to rehabilitate silver. My belief is that if we are to have an international agreement we must make it' appear to the naliu 11 of the world that we ourselves do not mean to take care ot silver."

Lynched for a Judge's Murder. NEW ORLEANS, Sept 18.—Reports that reached here Sunday morning were to the effect that the two negroes who were supposed te be implicated with Julian ID the murder of Judge Estopinal had just been lynched. The entire parish is patroiled by armed men. The murderer is expected to be caught. It is said he will be burned at the stake at the hour he committed the deed.

Twenty-Eight Bodies Recovered. MADBIK, Sept 18.—The bodies of twenty-eight persons drowned in the recent floods at Villa-Canaa were recovered Sunday. Fourteen bodies known to be in a cave near the foot of a hill cannot be reached on account of the high water. Many more bodies are supposed to be in the ruins of the 300 dwellings which were wrecked by the flood.

Two Men Drowned.

LA CROSSE, Wis., Sept 18.—A dispatch was received from Dresbach, ten miles north, that two unknown men were (frowned near there. It was learned the parties were a son of Dr. L. W. Alger, of this city, and Harvey Pitkin, of Chicago, who was here visiting his parents. They were floating down the river hunting and fishing. Both belong to estimable families and both were born here.

National Worklnginen'e Alliance. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept 19.—Labor leaders will this week commence correspondence with the national officers of every labor organization of the United States on the-subject of a national workingmen'a alliance. The plan has received the seal of General Master Workman Powderly's approval. The cooperation of the railroaders is considered Important and is desired.

DANOKIL AT

ASni.A.NIJ.

Asm.AND. Wis., Sept lp.—A prayer for rain is the hopeless cry throughout northern Wisconsin The forest flames continue to sweep everything before them. It has been an exciting day in Ashland. Settlers are coming in from all directions fleeing for their lives. At noon Sunday the people were called from worship by fire alarms. The cinders and smoke became almost blinding all over the city. Over a thousand volunteers were added to the fire department to check the flames which rushed in on the city from the Odanuh Indian reservation.

Water Given Out.

At 3 o'clock there was aery of despair among the people living near the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Wostern r^lway shops. The waterworks had given out and there was no water. The chemical engines were brought, but it was useless to try to stop the flames, as a high gale of wind was blowing. There are lew wells in the city. The* coal sheds caught fire and plucky engineers soon had the thirty dead locomotives fired up, running all rolling stock to the lake front. Household goods have been burned and over a hundred families are already homeless.

Three FamlUea Perished.

The sun was almost obscured by the heavy clouds of smoke and cinders. Twenty men were overcome In fighting flames and taken to the hospital. The timber and vegetation are like straw. No rain has fallen since July 10. Three families near Marengo have perished. There was no help to go to them. The firemen, with wet sponges and goggles, cannot remain long in the intense heat and smoke. Settlers arriving have pitiable stories to tell, and are being cared for by those who still have houses. One man named Agstron was driven orazy by the loss of his wife and family of two children. A woman and baby were picked up in an insensible condition Sunday night near White River road. The child died soon after arriving here. The mother is in a delirium and it is supposed that her husband perished at Odanali reservation.

Spread of the Flames.

As near as can be estimated fire now covers nearly 200 square miles and is sweeping- north. Damage to standing pine will be heavy and approximate not less than $5,000,000. Indians are camping on a raft in Bad river and hemmed in with an archway of flames. All communication is cut off from the surrounding small towns and it is imposssible to give details of tho holocausts and losseB, but if rain docs not oome soon the death list will run up into the hundreds.

Went Superior Saved.

WEST SITERIOB, Wis., Sept 18.—For several days this city has been enveloped In dense smoke from numerous forest fires south of here, but no danger was anticipated until Sunday afternoon when the fires approached the city forced In by a strong wind. The fire department was called out and the flames wore fought off before they reached any of the buildings in the outskirts of the city.

THE MAILS IN DANGER.

Congressmen Discus* Recent Train Robberies on Interstate Lines. WASHINGTON, Sept 18.—In the house Saturday, the journal having been approved, Mr. English (dem., N. J.) asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a resolution reciting that the recent train robberies on Interstate railroad lines showed that the United States mails were in danger and directing the committee on interstate and foreign commerce to investigate these robberies. Mr. Kiln-ore (dem., Tex.) objected, and it went, over.

The house ihcn resumed the fight over the federal elections repeal bill exactly where it was left of!.' Friday and exactly whore it was begun the day before. Mr. Burrows (rep., Mich.) moved to dispense with the call of committees and on this motion the yens and nays were ordered. The democrats could muster but 147 mombers and as this was not a quorum the house at 12:40 o'clock adjourned to meet at 1:45 to-day, when the house has accepted an invitation to be present as a body at 2 o'clock to attend the ceremonies relative to the centennial anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of the capitol.

SIMPLE BUT APPKOPUIATK SERVICES. WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Another oen* tenary, another hundredth year post in the history of the United States, has come, and on to-d »y the dignitaries of the land, its executive, its judges, its governors, its senators and representatives will make memorable the centennial anniversary of the laying of the capitol's corner stone. The ceremonies of to'day will be as simp!?, as those of September lb, I7M, and fully ab impressive. Then Master Mason George Washington laid the corner stone with all the pomp and detail of the masonic ritual.

The Programme.

To-day the services will consist of three principal features: First, a civic, military and naval parade, to be followed by appropriate ceremonies at the oupiiol, and, third, an evening entertainment In and about the capitol, to constat of a reoeption or Martha Washington party, in the rotunda of the capitol, under the auspices of the Dames and Daughters of the American Revo* lution, with representatives from all tho states and territories an illumination of the building and grounds, and a grand vooal and instru* mental ooncert at the east front of the capitol.

The l'arade.

The parade has been organized by Oen. Ellis Spear, who managed the great grand army parade, and it will be led by Oen. Albert Ordway, whose experience as commander of the district national guard win make him an admirable grand marshal. Capt John S. Miller, of the Washington light infantry, Is vloe chair* man of the committees, so the parade, although distinctively a civic affair, will be under efficient military dlreotion.

At the Cupltol.

The programme at the capitol will be as follows: Address, President Grover Cleveland oration, William Wirt Henry address for the house of representatives, Speaker Charles Crisp address for the supreme court of the United States, Chief Justice Fuller address for the District ot Columbia, Hon. John W. Ross, of the board of commissioner*.

Many Governors Will Attend. Gen. Walker, chairman in charge of the oele* bratlon, announces that among the governors present or expeoted are Gov. Stone, of Mississippi Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania Gov. Drown, ot Marylaud Gov. Matthews, of Indiana Gov. Foster, of Louisiana, and Gov. Brown, of Rhode Island.

History of the Capital.

The story of the eapitol Is an interesting one, beginning with tho greai fight made by Washington and Jefferson to secure its location In the present place. The corner stone of the original building, which remains undisturbed where It was laid with imposing masonlo rites by Master Mason George Washington, on the 16th st September, 1793, Is looated under the law library, in the basement beneath the rotunda. No record has ever been found of the (a»firtsslve oeremonies attendant upon this ranotlon, and no really authentic account can be given of the books, papers, jewels or records that may have been deposited within that stone.

Dr. William Thornton, a native of the West ladles and a naturalized Amcrlc|s oltlsen, residing in Philadelphia, and Stephon Hallett, a FrenOh-Amerioan, also a resident of Philadelphia! were the flrat architects. James Hoban, an Irish-American, and a resident ef Charleston. S. CM was, however, tho principal supervising architect in charge of the execution of the plans prepared by Dr. Thornton and Mr. Hallett Others were engaged subsequently In similar capacities up to the destruction of the building during the war with Great Britain, In 1619, after which Mr. Benjamin H. Latrobe, another Phlladelphian, had chargo, and to him, more than to any other man, doubtless belongB the credit of the construction of the middlo section. It was not properly eccupled by congress until the wintfcr of 1800, nine years after the first appropriation was made for its erection, aad seven fsars after the corner-stone was laid.

Not Yet Complete.

Jo, appears from this necessarily brief st&iement ef its earlier architectural history, that ths building, as we now see it, with its massive wings, noble dome and unequaled e* pause of marble terraoe, began with what might well be termed a snail beginning, and has DOQP over a century In course of construo(too, an4 yet is not oomplete. ft was net until 1650 that congress mage •revision for the sdditloe of the senate aaa house wings, as they now stand. Previous te that the house ef representatives hel4 its sessions lb the ohamber now known a| Statuary hall, and tho senate met in the room aow occupied by the supreme oourt As the membership of these august bodies increased with the growth of the nation, the necessity for more room in which they should hold their deliberations hecame apparent And then it was that the comprehensive conception of to»day was born or brought into light Changes were mads

IA

many

respects, improvements and remodellngs, the present oramped library room added, the new dome built, and, In short, betwten that date and the present, with the exception of a few months during the civil war, the process of vfbttllding —practically rebuiluing the oapltoi has been going on The oorner stone of ths extensions, or the "enlarged building," as it was describod at the time, was laid by President Fllmore July 4, IBM, at whloh tlfne Daniel Webster, then seoretary of state, delivered a characteristically grand and appropriate oration. Mr. Thomas N. Walter, another Phlladelpbian, was selected to be the architcct, and held the position until 1805, when Mr. Edwurd Clurk, the present Incumbent, was appointed.

The Capitol Described.

The center portion of the building, approached by magnificent marble stairways, presenting a most imposing facade, is built of sandstone, tho original color of which wan yellow, btu is now kept painted white, to make it correspond with tho north, or senate wing, and the south, or house wing, both ot which are built of blue-veined white marble from the quarries near Lee, Mass. It was at first designed 10 build this center portion brick, for economy was the order of the day at that time but Anally Virginia sandstone was chosen en tho score of economy also and, also, perhaps, the original designers had not the slightest oonception of the future grandeur of the structure thoy wero then beginning. In fact, the first advertisement for it, calling for brick, contemplated only two largo assembly rooms for the accommodation of 803 persons each, with a lobby anA.twelve smaller room»u to .be used»for com-
