WA niNtT < > x. { Kept. 11. In tlio senate
todny the greater part of thu lime was oceti-
pii'd liv Srnator Pugh in opposition to the re
peal uf the Sherman law ,
lie was followed by Senator Teller of
Oolcrado , also against the bill , who con-
clu'ted ' the speech he began on Saturday
hist. The silver mon neither Saturday nor
today followed tin- tactics inaugurated early
last week of insisting upon the presence of u
quorum , and apparently the feeling between
tlif friends and opponents of repeal is much
better than it has been heretofore during
the session.
Hoth Mr. I'ngh and Mr. Teller discussed
the qt.cstion in a calm and Olgnlllcd manner
and they were accorded most respectful
atu ntion.
Mrllindlxtn liiilrlfiiil ill" Cliliiiiiimn.
Mr. Dolph , lepubllcan , of Oregon , pre
sented a petition from the conference of the
Methodist ICpiscopal church of Oregon for
tin repeal of the deary act. The petition
nlh-L'cs a state of affairs as to that law
whiih Mr. Dolph said showed that much of
the opposition to that law was the result of
ignorance as to Its imnisions and their ef
fect Hcferring to tlio bill recently Intro
duced in the hjuse extending thu time of
the registering ono year , ho said ho would
have no objection to its enactment into law
if sueli action were requested by the Chinese
government , or if there were any assurance
that the Six Companies would permit Chinese
laborers to register.
Mr. Stewart of Nevada submitted a reso
lution for the creation of a committee of five
senators to ascertain and report whether
any senator is a stockholder or Is interested
in any national bank. Hit said tne otyans
of Wall street and I oinharil street had for
several years charged senators representing
fcllviT slates with voting on matters in
which they were personally interested. He
hail not for llftetn years been interested in
nnv respect personally in any silver mine erIn
In bullion.
lEvtllcctloti on thn Seimtft *
Mr. Hill , democrat , of Now York , thought
the resolution was not a wise one and ho
could not believe that the senator from
Nevada was serious in presenting it. It ws ;
an unprecedented and unheard of resolution.
"Sir , 1 cannot resist the conclusion. " he
bald in tones of gravity , "that the intro
duction of this resolution is to some extent n
rellcction upon the sunale. The Intimation
Implied by it is that senators would be m-
fluenccd'by holding slock in nalionat banks
in reference to the passing of financial
mcaxincs. The senate would belitllo itself
by Insululing any such Inquiry. 1 think it
an uncalled for and unnecessary resolution. "
Mr. Stewart attempted lo reply , but an
objection from Mr Hawley , republican of
Connecticut , sent the resolution over until
tomorrow.
The repeal bill was then taken up and Mr.
Teller of Colorado , who was entitled to the
floor , yielded to Mr. Pugh. He said that the
message of tlio president calling an extra
session was a declaration in favor of u gold
standard. If the Sherman law was uncon
ditionally repealed sucti action would cause
discontent among the toiling millions to
such an extent that Uiey would shake Iho
country. Ho would never vote for uncondi
tional repeal , but favored any substitulo
which carried out Iho platform uf lliu demo
cratic party.
Mr. Teller , republican , of Colorado then
resumed his speech begun on Saturday
against Iho repeal bill.
Ouicr.-HS Couldn't , Mend It.
Mr. Teller asserted , nnd ho believed It
could be demonstrated , that if it had not
been for a preconcerted effort in the money
center of the country to prevent U , the 1st
of September would have seen better times
in tlio finances ot Ihe country lh.ui the people
ple are experiencing today , It was admitted
now by all the great financial authorities
of New York thai the panic ivas over.
Ho met one day recently a gentleman ot
national reputation and said lo him : "When
will this panic bo over ; " Tnat gentleman
replied. "When the men who called it on.
call It on" . The bankers of New York called
It on ; when they get realty to call it off , it
will como olT. " The calling of congress did
not relieve tlie country ; in fact the condition
became worse from the lime congnss was
called In extraordinary session.
Mr. Teller said ho would at some other
time plvo to the senate bis conception of the
cause for the recent distressed condilion. In
his opinion il was duo lo legislallvu miscon
duct.
Hl'H'I.H Bellini ? Ahovo Their Worth.
Mr. Teller next directed himself to stock
operations. A Now York paper had pub
lished daily for homo limu the daily de
preciation in value of stocks , or the destruc
tion of values occasioned by the Sherman
law. ni. the paper said. The paper had
Anally got the amount up to { ; 1)0,000,000. ) In
his opinion a great many stocks were selling
on the market today lor moro than they
were worth , lie cited Ihu Northern I'aclllc ,
wiiich ho said had fallen from TO to 17. It
was said all the ( ireat owners connected
with il unloaded when it was 70. Thai i-um-

This diblurbunco did not como from the
Sherman act. It came from the misconduct
of ollielalfe. Mr. Tullcr did not nieiiii to say
criminal misconduct , lint they did not deiil
fairly with their investors.
Mi.Ht Tin I the CIIIIHC of Ihe r.vil.
The good stocks of the country maintained
themselves , with rare exceptions , almost at
par , and min : > of them maintained them-
telves nuove par , even during Iho crisis. It
had been said ihal Ihe stocks of the trunk
lines did nut fall more Hum U per cent , wl.ilo
the industrial and speculative blocks had
fa ! en s.0 per cunt.
It behooved congress , Mr. Teller saidwhen
It came to legislate upon this subject to find
the cause of the evil and , if withl.i Itsiwvcr ,
to remove thp o\il. He did not claim that
ruitfrvtb could loin h the condition of deal
ing in stocks. It was ono of the evils that
had to be allowed to exist.
Mr. Voorhees hero said that , if agreeable
lo the senator from Colorado , he would move
un cxccutno session.
llefore yielding to that motion Mr. Teller
rei'lied that ho had reached a point where
ho could quit for Uie present and ho would
take up another branch ol ihu subject bomo

school attached to Father Corrig.in's church
In Hoboken was not opened today. The
priest did not offer any a-lvlco as to what
the p.ironlsof Catholic children should do.
There has been considerable talk that
Father Corrlgan was endeavoring lo have
Iho Hoard of ( education of llohokcn lease
the parochial school budaiiig and open it
without delay as a regular nubile school.
This , some have claime I , is the only way to
afford school accom.nodation for tlio Cath

schools in Iho city are already crowded to
their lull capacity. This , It is said , Bishop
YViggor did not npprovo ot. Hut as the

o'clock this morning nlno experienced clerks
from Washington hoL'an the herculean
tusk of registering tlio Strip humeseoker.s.
Some 20,000 of thosu nro already in the
vicinity , with more coming every day until
tin ; liind Is thrown open on Saturday.
During the tirst hour less than 100 certi
ficates wore issued , hut as the clerks be
came nioro familiar with their duties they
performed their work with greater expedi
tion so that during the last hour of business ,
from f > until 0 o'clock , over ' 'Oil worn Issued.
The. record lor the day was ll > 'J. Hya
simple arithmetical calculation it can ho
readily seen that at the present rate all
those seeking to register here will
not have the opportunity. The ofticer
in charge has authority to increase
his force and If more rapid work is not tlouo
tomorrow and If the hoineseeker.s continue
to arrive in such ( ireat numbers as they did
today ho will establish another registration
tiooth here. The prospect that all will not
in ; able to secure ecrtilieate.s by Saturday
noon is causing many boomers to go to other
booths alomr tbo line.
Ily n o'clock Saturday evening mm had be
gun to gather at the registration bojths , and
from that tinio until this morning the line
steadily increased and two more lines of
similar length wcie added. At-a fair esti
mate there are now 10.UOO uen ami women
waiting for a chance to got a cortilicato
without , which they will not bo allowed to
claim a piece of public hum.

The sccno at the booth is u remarkable
one. It is situated on the Cherokee Strip at
the northeast cornerof ttio Chiloeco reserva
tion. On the one side is the barbed wire
fence , which encloses the reservation , and on
the Kansas side the hedge which surrounds
u farm , 'ielwoen is a narrow road , a foot
deep In dust. Along the fence stretching
west tire three lines of men standing and
sitting on the ground. 'I he air is iilleil with
dust which Hangs In the still air. Around
the three army tents which compose the
booths is stretched a wire fastened to posts ,
inside of wiiich are three or four soldiers
keeping the crowd out and putting out those
who have registered.
So great was the movement of horsemen
and wagons toward the boot'i ' yesterday that
by last evening the roads leading there were
so congested by horses anil wagons that it
was impossible for a horseman to get
through and very dinicult for a man on foot.
The air was so tilled \vithdiist , that looking
south from thn city the blue of the sky was
concealed. Along the roads loadingsouth a
constant movement of wa ons and men kept
up all night long. As early as daylight men
on foot with canteens strapped to their
backs were moving along through the suf
focating air on the roads with handkerchiefs
tied acruss their mouths.

When the clerks stepped into their tents
ready for business a cheer went tu > from the
grimy , half choked crowd. This was car
ried along the line anil could bo heard u milo
away by the throng hurrying along the ro.uls
to join them. Such a g.md natured crowd
was never seen. H mattered not to them
that they nad been sitting in the dust for
thirty-six hours ; that tluy worn thirsty ,
tinted and unwashed. They wanted to get ,
into line and be registered , and any prospect
ojf duing so revived their spirits.
The night had been very chilly , an 1 the
hot coffee peddlers moving along the line all
night had done little to relieve the coolness.
Men stood in line wrapped in blr.nkots and
overcoats and every one- hail a canteen , jug
or bottli ) which held his limited supply of
precious water.
.lohn H. Cameron , a real estate man from
Kansas C'ity , who had been in line since : !
o'clock Saturday afternoon , received certifi
cate number one. After him a number of
women were let in and registered , the llrst
one , Miss ICate Diirand of this place. ' 1 hey
had nut stood in line but the men had chival
rously given them precedence.
During the first hour the total Inadequacy
of the registration system became apparent.
Less than 100 people got their certificates
and great Imp.itienco was beginning to be
exhibited. The clerks were badly rattled
and stopped to discuss the question of regis
tration with boomers. As the day progressed
the clerks became moro used to their woric
and got along a litl.o more rapidly.

Nora Wiley , a 11-year-old miss , succeeded
in getting a certiiicato early in tlio day. The
lines were blocked solidly In front of and
about tlu > registration booths , hut she wont
to one of tlio refreshment booths and secured
a tray and two cups of coffee and started
toward the center of tlio crowd. As she
went along with " 1'leaso hit mo through to
the clerks , gentlemen , " the men made wav

Dually reached the registration booth she

At 0 o'clock the booths wore closed and
those who had not yet secured cortitlcates
of registration inamt.ilned the line and
bottled down to await the dreary hours for
the opening time tomorrow morning. Tired
out with their experience today some rolled
themselves in blankets as the cool night
came on and went at once to sleep despite
the extraordinary and unusual noises of the
occasion. Other ? passed the evening hours

the president's proclamation carefully and
most of Ilium Knew Just what they wanted
and how to get it before they applied for reg
istration and their certilicates. The clerks
went at their business in a businesslike man

little confusion. The work progressed with

FHHMOST , Xob. , Sept. 11. ( Special to Tin :
HUB. ] The Rtato liousn gang Is still venting
its spleen against Chief Justice Maxwell for
daring to dissent from the majority opinion
in the impeachment cnsp , and It seems that
this feeling of resentment Is shared to a
surprising douree by tlie Judge's associates
on the supreme bench. The latcsl ebullition
appears in the Mlnden ( tazctto , and purports
to he some of Iho "Inside" history relallng
to the famous dissenting opinion. It shows
on Its face thai it was given out either by n
iiiember of the court or by some ono who
stands very closely to one of them in conll-
denllal matters. The article is as follows :
SDMI : iiMvitmiiN IMSTOIIV.
There Is n bit of unw rltten history comuvtril
\\llh the Impeachment trial , and now for the
llrst time the tiiizottu gives It to tint people of
the state. It shows very plainly that I'hlef
.Ilistlee Maxwelleltlicr had his mind made up
before the tilal ttas over or else had sonei
object In vltMy other than the host Interests ot
the stale.
\Vhun the evidence was all In nnd tlio nrgti-
inent was concluded .Inilae Maxwell tuni"d to
.liiilgo Post and siiKuestiMl that It Mould be a
Bond Idea to adloiirn court for a time. Hoth
Judges Post and Noryul olijivlud , .s.iyhiK U
was best ID consul ! before taking nn ndjiiurn-
inent , but Juilce Maxwell was oliiluraie and
court Was adjourned. Afler walling
some tlmo for MuMM'll to call
tlie couit to'-'clher , Judge Post
wrote and MigRvstuil that It was ilmo thai
some action was liiUen , as It wasmiluit to tlio
state olllcers to lpi-p tlie'n In siispeiisp any
lniiRer. Maxwell wrote In reply that he wa's
too sick to intend to any business whatever ,
and that as soon as he was able he would cou-
voiio the court. Time passed on and thu asso
ciate Indues repealed- ! wintii urging tlio
chief justice loconvetu1 court , and each lime
ho replied that tin was iinabht to attend to
work. Al last he did call I he court together.
No.sooner hail tin- three Judges seated them
selves In the consultation room than-Judge
Post turned to the chief Justice rind .said :
"Judge , let us hear the opinion you have
u re pa veil. "
Tim chief justice reached down Into his In
side pocket and dtv\v out ( hit opinion Hint lie
afturwaids tiled as the dissenting opinion of
tlio court.
All thu time that the chief Justice was at
homo and writing to his as ; elates that he
was too sick to woiU , he was writ Ing that opin
ion , llenas determined to Hie It as Ihe opin
ion of tin-court , but Judges I'M and N'orval
hud nmiiu up Ihclr minds that the state
olllcers were Innocent of the charges
against them , and they proposed to tllu
that as the opinion of the court. And
they ilhl , despite tin- proles ) . , of the
chief justice , who has bcuii lit lliu hahlt of
having | | | s opinions looked upon us the nemo
of human wl-dnm In ihc legal line. The opin
ion that Judge .Maxwell Hind Is a voluminous
document , mid tliu mcru writing of It. to say
imthlugof looking up flicmimcioiis cltallons ,
would lake about all his tlnr- from the day
Ihe supreme court convened until ihcday Ihe
court wiis called together again. It will bo 10-
iiiembeiuil that tlin opinion was not tiled tlie.
first tlmo the court convened after thu liii-
peachmcnl trial. The justieus had not had an
opnortunity loconfnr , lint .In lue Mu.xwell , al
though too sick to hold court or consult
with Ills associate.- , was not ton sick to write
tliatoiilnlim.
The attention of Judge Maxwell was called
to the article today , and ho was asked to ex
press himself concerning It.

"It is not in accordance with my ideas of
Judicial propriety to publicly discuss the
privnlc affairs of tlio consultation room , " lui
said , "but inasmuch as the statements made
In that article reflect on me and are abso
lutely and unqualifiedly ialso I do not hesi
tate to so pronounce them. There is hut the
slightest tissue of truth on which the alleged
revelation is based , and the story ns written
is false to u degree. 1 um quite cut lain that
1 know the source from which it emanated ,
and although I perhaps ought not to be sur
prised at tliis ono of a multitude of false
hoods concerning mo that are being per
sistently circulated , I certainly am surprised
that one occupying Ihe position of the insti-
gatir of tint article should stoup to
work of that kind. The statement
tlm' , the other members of the court waited
for me to call the court together is entirely
without any foundation in fact , as it was
plainly understood when court adjourned
that it would meet on the following Monday
morning , which It did. As 1 remember it now ,
Iho casn was submitted Wednesday nnilit ,
and I was at thu stale house early the next
mornlinr , as is my custom , to look over the
evidence and see if the impressions I enter
tained at tlio close of tlie trial were properly
based on the evidence introduced. I worked
for two or three hours , applying nn.self so
closely that I was attacked with a violent
heartache. My associates came in about 11
o'clock , and the manor was talked over. 1
said that I wanted moro limo to consider the
case , as my mind was not fully made up. 1
further stated that the case was a very im
portant one , and that written opinions ought
to be tiled.
\Vlmt Ito Ily Did llnp..oii.
"I do not cam to state what was said on
the other side , as that is something for my
associates to make public if it is to bo given
out. 1 will say , however , that it was well
understood liy all of the members of the
court on ttiat morning that I intended lo
file an opinion , whether dissenting or other
wise , and that wo adjourned until a llxed
time , when that opinion was to bo ready. It
is true Unit 1 was sick when 1 came liome ,
hut it is not true tint 1 was written to anil
asked lo convene court , or that I wrote in
reply that I was too sick toile so. I did pre
pare my opinion bouveen Iho limo nt ad
journment and the following Monday morn
ing when court convened again , and I had it
there ready to lllo at that tlmo , hut It was
not tiled until a week later , as another ad-
journinciu was taken for a week to enable.
Judge Post lo wrlto his opinion. I have no
apologies to make for an.\ thing that I uid or
said In that connection. I havealwajs main
tained that written opinions should 'no filed
in important cases , believing that if the
ground ! ! on which nn opinion Is hasud
will not stand public scrutiny It
should fall. I believe that there
Is something moro to bo expected
from a court that does Its duty than the
more deciding of u case ono way or lliu
other , with possibly the bare additional
statement that a member of the court
dissents.
Willing to ( in on Itpcnril ,
"I think It right and proper that opinions
be tiled in writing , thai limy limy speak lor
themselves. J am awnro that it makes moro

bo pleasant lo bo called upon lo write Ilium

for safe keeping , as there is considerable
danger of lynching should they remain.
It appears that after robbing the train ,
the robbers got into a haek had drove to
CofTeyvillo. There f'.corge McCune got

told him what the.v had done. Thu party
