Populous Country.
S L'ITV. Sept. 10. Ono hundred
thousand people settled upon thu Cherok'eo
Strip today. At noon llio signal was given
iinnounciiig the passing of the title of the
land from thu United States to the boomers
nnd a race suc.H as was never witnessed be
fore , and probably will bo never scon
again , was begun.
On tin- lines in the vicinity ol the vtn ions
boi-der towns tlie boomers had gnincrod in
prt-at multitudes. As far as the e.yo could
reach In any direction could bo seen moil
mounted , in wagons and on foot , closely
packed together , making a solid column 2011
feet or more wide in the middle , and tapeiing
uwa.to . .1 men ! streak of black in thedis-
tanco. The scene when the column broke at
the firing of the signal gun and each indi
vidual entered the contest for a common
prize , can be imagined better than described.
Confusion reigned every where. So closely
were contestants packed together that tlio
start was a hazardous one. Horsemen were
unseated , wagons overthrown nnd pedes
trians prostrated in the mad rush to bo off.
The cries of angered men mingled with the
neighing of the panic-stricken horses , the
Bhouls of the racers , the clatter of hoofs , the
ratllliitr of wagons ami the shrieking of lo-
oomoltves com'iined in a roar similar to that
accompanying the progress of a tornado.
TWII . > -Miirilt'i-i'il. .
In tlio race many men were injured and
EOino.killed. Of the latter some met death
by accident and two were murdered. Tlie
details of the crimes are not known , but tlio
dead bodies , ono stabbed ami the other shot
through the heart , tell the manner of
death.
Many dead horses have been found on the
prairie. Some Hied from overexertlon , some
were killed by falling in the race ami others ,
receiving broken limbs in tno rough prairie ,
ivere phot by their owners.
The cowboys on their hardy ponies took
the lead. They had gone but a short dis
tance when tlipy spread over the prairie and ,
dismounting , set fire to the thick prnino
grass , hophiR thus to turn aside these who
were following. Tlio ( Ires spread rapidly at
flrsl , but the wind was blowing from the
north , driving the llames south , and they
were soon stopped by a deep gully which
parallel ! ) the Cherokee line three miles
south.
Horses could not be urged through the
llames and "many wore turned back. No
damage was done by the llames so far as
known , further than destroying tlie grass
nnd impelling the racers.
An old man , nameii- James H. Hill of ICing-
born , N. J , was shot and instantly killed at
the southwest corner of the Cliilocco reserva
tion Hi' Blurted Into the Strip before the
signal was given. The soldiers warned htm
o stop , but bo Ignored their orders and they
llred upon him.
The sum of S.MX ) was found on his person
nnd It was turned over to tlio sheriff.

It was a neck and neck race
between thn horsemen who had chosen the
same town lot or quarter section of funning
land. Stuinbliiiu over rocks , wading
streams , climbing precipitous uanhs , on they
go. The chivalry which relinquished places
- in tin ) linito women all disappeared in the
10II
scramble for actual results. The women
bad to take llielr cbanci' witli the men in
the race , and It U to their credit that some
of them made as uond a showing in the
Htrupgle as the alleged lords of creation ,
reaching the iroal in time to pre-empt the dr-
sired bits of mother earth. rn
The boomer trains loaded with town-
niters crept along , being forbidden to exceed
twelve miles an hour , whllo the hi rsomen
passed them waving their hats' in derision. '
As the trains pulled into a townsito Hie
boomers swarmed out of the ears like nul.s ,

Innumcrablo lights over lots ensued and y.in
the absence of other means of sottlemcnt tbo

bt''olitvr took possession. Touts wont up ,
town nicotines wc.ru held , ofllccr.s were
elected and In an incredibly short time a
full lle.lged . municipality had sprung Into ex
istence.
In the meantime out on Hie prairies the
fanners continued tint race for homesteads ,
leaving the women folks to follow in the
slow moving prairie schooners , bringing the
household implements and shelter till such
tlir.e as a permanent aliodo can bo erected.

slowly that those on wagons and horseback
easily outstripped them.

Cu.nwr.i.i. , Kan. , Sept. Hi. Two minutes
after noon today lO.IHJl ) people who had gath
ered along the bordur south of Culdwell
were rushing belter skelter into the Strip in
every direction as far as the eye could roach ,
Five minutes later the Ilectcsf , and foremost .
horsemen were mere species , and clouds of j
dust in tlie distance and behind them were
hundreds and hundreds of white covered
wagons nnd buggies trooping into the land ,
leaving behind them great clouds of dust to
mark the line.
Several lively races ensued and wore in a
number of cases , lhu causes of minor acci-
denls. In the ml 1st of the rush one man
wns seen to throw up his hands. Suddenly
ho fell to the ground and n half dozen
horses passed over him. His life was only
saved by a cavalryman who was near by ,
and who at the muzzle of a revolver com
pelled llio drivers to turn aside. The man
soon wan given nid by the soldier ami helped
to his horse and immediately bo dashed
away again to regain his place in the pro
cession.
He was very consp'cuous in the crowd on
account of his clothes , and people who had
seen him fall and worn interested in seeing
him regain his place , wen ) hurrilied to see
him dashed to the ground a second time
as his lioiso passed over a hill a mile away ,
liohind the unlucky racer came a wild
troop of several hundred horsemen and they
passed on without giving any attention to
the poor fellow who was down. Luckily , ho
escaped serious injury and although ho lost
his liorso ho stayed in tlio race , continuing
it on foot.
Plrst Tniln Into thn Strip.
There were many runaways and some few
breakdowns , but the llrst half hour of the
run at Caldwcll passed apparently without
serious accident.
The first train into the nowCherokecStrip
was pullo.i by Knuineur J. X. Colburn , wno ,
has been thirty-three years in the service of
llio Rock Island road. ifi
Tlio train was com
posed of Ihirty-Iivo stock cars and every
available f-iot of space was taken. Two
engines pushed from the roar and ( I
after much pulling and snorling
the train moved slowly out ono minute after
Iho signal guns were tired. It was alive
with people cheering wildly and waving
br.ts , handkerchiefs and Hags. Tin ) train
was moved at the rale of fifteen miles an
liour and was slowed up every live minutes
to allow those who so wished to jump off and
make Iho r.ici ) for a neighboring claim on

An Irjiir afler the oppiiing llio scene was

thousand men and women , with a goodly
number of boys ami girls , started In the race
into the Strip at the .sound of carbines hold
by cavalrymen sharp at noon today. Him-

but lhu grand rush was by horse ami emi

Thousands of people , despairing of making (
a successful race in Hie great jam of people
at Arkansas City , came to this place cr
day and last night , and tlio total ier
which invadcil the Strip from hen ) must
have been in iho neighborhood of s.'fl.ooo. The
boomers on ( torso and afoot got off without

New YOIIK , Sept. in. [ Spcoial Tolceram
to Tin : Hii.j : l-'ow important development *
have affected the stock market this week.
There was active trading and buoyancy dur
ing the llrst day or two , but before the end
of the week quotations were dropping ami
there was no sign of activity in any quarter.
It wns noticeable throughout the month's
boom in quotations that no public interest
appeared in stock exchange lluetuatioiis. It
has been a loin-\hlle sineo Wall street has
witnessed such open manipulations. In some
ways ttiis manipulation was adroit , but in
other respects there was barefaced bumiling.
There could be no disgulso of the fact that
thu rank and tile of Wall street would gladly
make such a spurt upward as it brought
about. There seemed prevalent a general
feeling that stock market prices had gone
down to an unreasonable extent and that
rallies ought to bo brought about. This
sentiment , confined though It was to Wall
street , wns effective in governing prices , lor
the reason that speculators on the boar side
were influenced by the general fee'.ingshown
all over the street , and It has , therefore , not
required iniieli of an effort upon the part of
bull campaigners to semi most of thu beat
crowd into a scare , which every time pro
duced a heavy covering of short contracts.
Pitstivo Aid trout III ; ; tte.'irs.
The himrer boar traders , realizing this
situation , may not bo unfairly suspected of
having joined in the procession , willing to
help il alonit. Mr. Addison Caniimick prob
ably toyed with the market occasionally 01
the bear track during the last thirty days ,
but for the most part he has boon onjoyinj ,
hlipself with his family out at Tuxedo ,
rather careless of the stock market's
buoyancy. William H. Wheeler , who is
ab' ut tlie only other operator who over
trades on the bear side to an extent ap-
proachimr what Mr. Cammack does , has also
been out of the market BO far as bcarisl
transactions are concerned Mr. Wheeler
in fact , has probably , on the quiet , been one
of the most important traders on the recent
upward tack. It is known that he quit
bearing the market sixty days ago jus
when the July panic was scaring ncarl'
everybody in Wall street almost to doatl
About the time when the perrennial bulls o
the street had given up all hope and wen
tumbling over one another to unload , Mr
Wheeler , it has since been learned , wa :
calmly picking up lines of long stock. It i
hardly probable , however , that Mr. Wheele
still retains what lie bought when quota
tions wore from 10 to ! il ( points lower thai
they are now. The fact that ho quits tin
market for a pleasure trip to Chicago doubt
less siiruilies about what his interest is at
tin ; moment.
I cite Mr. Wheeler's campaign as suggestive -
ivo of what has b-on happening to hi-lp
along the efforts of the professional bull
campaigners. Iiisin.id of being sacrificed
the more important bear operators have
really profited by the recent handsome
rallies. They recoenized the situation and
went with the crowd.
.Soiiii ) CllilHl ) to Ili'il' n.
Hut it is probable tlmt the more important
of them tdink Iboy have gone far enough.
There are several indications that this is
trui ) . There is great disappointment over
the way in which congress is tackling the
Sherman hill's repeal. Hots wore sot lied on
the Block exchange today made a month
.bc
ago on the theory that repeal would bo ac
complished by today. These bets , moreover ,
when they were made , were on a basis of Ii
to 1 , so confident was Wall .street , the middle
of last month that the administration could
Ids
push its program through witli a rush , uis-
palchesof a confidential sort from Washing
ton am lur loss conlldont in tone now than
limy were then. Wall street may have come
to a wrong opinion , but none the less it I'ei-ls
now that the prospect of unconditional re
peal has materially dwindled. Tneru ere
lots ot specious suggestions to thooffoct that
the tariff tinkorors and lim force bill atc
poitlers may , by their sudden aggressiveness
in tlio house of representatives , give the Ml-
vcr contingent an opportunity tu mukc con
ditions and gel at least indirect assistance.
This may lead to postponements , entangle
ments and conditions not at all in line with ,
ihc desires of people who are Identified with (
the bull side of speculation in Wall street.
Thcro are indications that some af the people
in Wall street who have
ple counted most on
results to follow the silver bill repeal TO
getting into an ugly mood. Indeed , if some
uf the statements ami sentiments credited
lo them are correctly quoted , they scum to
bo losing their heads.
Iliilli-tliii'd liy Minielniiiy.
Ono of the financial news bureaus of Wall
street sent out the following bulletin :
Wo have Information , which no consider reliable -

It is hard to understand how any sensible

stated that iho statement comes from an
authority high in .Now York banking circles.

It is significant that Statements like these
can be given to Wall street without creating
surprise. Tlio average man in the street
seems to take this throat of gold exports as
Itiito a natural prooee itng. They look upon
it its n sort of punishment for congress , and
they tlo not scorn lo worry over the fact that
it means dreadful things for the business
world. Certainly , wo have had enough of thu
"object lesson's" brutality. It must be ad-
milted , however , that there are some bank
ing Interests here cap.ibio ot doing just what
these Wall street news agencies credit
them with now having in view. The
way in which Chicago interests weie treated
a month or two ago Droves this amply. It is
probable , howe\er , thnt such threats as
these will not got be\ond the stage of
threats. It is , i giod deal easier to start a
panic than It is to stop one. The people who
suffered most In the recent financial cyclone
were not the widows nnil the orphans , but
the bankers whose boxes sro tilled with
stocks they can't syndicate and bonds they
can't sell.
Atralil i > t "Tirlir Krlurm. "
There nro none the lei < s some serious bear
factors In the situation < | uito Independent of
uny manipulated "object lesson'1 business.
The prospect ot tin Iff smashing in a vigor
ous fashion cannot fall to unsettle
business and hold trade in check.
It is easy for { tariff reform
oracles . to proclaim that noi > ody
is worryiir-jover the Hriff outloak , but a
casual glance through the business world of
Now Kngland gives a grave refutation to
such theories. Wall stacot must feel the
pinches of tariT tinkering quickly , for the
reason that it has on its stook list the secur
ities of many of t he most conspicuous indus
trial properties having interests involved in
tarilT legislation. Siurar. cordage , load
the.se are a few. It'has doubtless been
largely ; due to the anticipation of tariff legislation -
islation that the speculative bickers of the
sugar trust and ether similar properties
have . been industriously ami vi 'orously
lifting ' ' their quotations lately. They have
been showing immuiisc earnings. They
have been advancing'the price of products.
They have been doing all tl e things which
reasonable business mun wJuld not bo likely
to do in f-ico of prospective tariff reduction
that is , reasonable men. conducting business
for something clso tna.r. AVall street effect.
Under existing circumstances , however , the
nlan of the trust insiders is rendily euouph 1
understood.
Snuiir TniNlcTK CUinln Out.
Nevermind the red Hag of big dividends ,
boasts about increasing earnings , of ad
vances in the market price of sugar never
mind any of thes' : undiplomatic proceedings
so far as coimrcss is concerned. The quick
result is a shoot upward in the stock mar
ket , a boom through which stock can bo un
loaded upon the dear public. It is believed
that Sugar trust insiders have sold most of
their stock on the recent rally of twenty-live
points from the July quotations. When they
have once sold out it will bo time cnoiiu'h to
toy with congress committees. Then the
public , not insider , can do tlio sacrificing
which reduced tariffs may involve.
Another Hctir tie.vnoti' .
As serious as tlio tai'lf outlook
is as a pros-
pectivc barrier to the sn.
Wall street boom ,
there is another fac'or which is likely to ex
ert an equally far-reaching inlluunce on the !
same side. Railway earning : ) will probably
from this time on show a bear keynote. Losses
now being reported are terrific. There seems [
to be contraction of railway traffic thrjugh-
out tin ) whole country , and being given out
does not indicate by net oarnlngireturiis thai
thcro isanylhing like
eorresponilinirdoorcase
in operating expenses. Yiil the recent panic
will not have helped dplng some good if
it can only lead lo tile introduction of
some economies in railway corporation man
agement which shall tlo away with the
shameless extravagances which have for
years and years been ruining legitimate orP
portunities. Railroads must bo run for the
people who merely run them. Still the
stockholders ol American roads have only
themselves to thank for the way they live
boon treated. The American's security
holder is ordinarily a person without any
spirit whatever. If ho is not careless of his i
own rights , ho Is either lee lazy or too cow
ardly lo protect them. Uoundloss instances '
of this fact are In slzht. Present icccnt receiverships
ceiverships exemplify it ,

I'Aiii * , Sept. 17. INcw York Her.iKl Cable
Special to Tnr. HIE. : ] The enthusiasm for
Ktissla increases every dav In a iraunur , in
deed , that gives cause for inquietude on the
part of Kuropoan politicians ami diplomat
ists. Franco has good cause to rejoice in
this evidence of H'issia's good will , hav-
iiiu been up to the presrnt time
almost isolated in Kurnpo , and
her efforts to mainlain her true position
on the continent thwarted by the combina
tion of the Triple Alliance. Hussia does not
hesitate a moment to support l-Vnncc when
the necessity comes. In this she has shown
herself a true friemt of the republic , for the
people of Franco , anil not to any monarchical
or Imperialistic principle , Just as in the same
way during thu American civil war she sent
her fleet to New York with scaled orders
which were to nuppott the United States ,
and placed her licet at the disposal of the
president in case Napoleon 111 or Palmer-
Pg Interfered in the war that was then
going on.
The enthusiasm in Paris promises to bo
, Immense ' when the Russian licet arrives at
Toulon , and unbounded when the olll.'ors
and sailors reach Paris. The only fear is
that the French people may forget prudence
I and do things which they might afterwnid
regret.
This fear seems to have reached St. Pe
tersburg , and an ollleial note from the Rus
sian capital counsels that the fetes arranged
by Fraiice in honor of the Russian visitors
shall be of a character strictly pacific , so as
not to give unnecessary offense to the other
I' ( lowers. ' They are not lo bo provocative , but
simply to show in a straightforward man
ner to Europe the reality of the alliance be
tween Russia and Franco.

Hr.ni.ix , Sept. Hi. Kmporor Franz Joseph
of Austria loft this afternoon to attend the
Hungarian army maneuvers In tlio. presence
of tluko of Connauglu. This is interpreted
in certain quarters to mean a consolidation
of the existing entente between ( treat
Hritain and tlio Oreibund. This is especially
so considered as the duke of Conuaught's
visit to Austria is soon to lie followed by n
visit of the Hritish Mediterranean squadron
to Italy.
Villo Franoho , near Xico , Is now said to
bo the place wheiv Fr-inco will allow Hussia
to establish a station , dock , arsenal and
stori ) depot for her Heel and the cession is
said to be partof tlio price Franco hasagreed
to pay for the alliance said to bu oxisling
between herself and Russia. Hut a new -I
per cent loan , it is said , forms another
portion of lhu amount Franco will have
lo pay lor having the c/ar as her friend in
case of trouble , and it is reported this loan
will bo floated at about the time the Russian
flout visits France , and when enthusiasm
for her guests has been worked up to the
highest pitch possible.
In anticipation of the visit of the Russian
Hoot to Toulon , where
it is expected to nr-
rive October lit , all largo towns of France
are already making great preparations for
tlio reception of their Russian allies. Russia
is not pleased at the extent to which the
Frenchmen are going to demonstrate
their affection for the czar and
his subjects. It is claimed Russian
statesmen are of tiio opinion that too
much demonstration would bo irritating to
( lei-many , and Russia knows that the czar
does not foul inclined to give ( iorniany an.v
cause for unnecessary anger The new rflN's
for the Russian army are not all finished and
the soldiers are not thoroughly familiar
uith these which have been sent out.
Finally the new Russian loan has not been
raised. These and other reasons make Rus
sia desirous of mil angering ( iurmany to any '
greal extent.
There are people in Franco who think thn
demonstration business is being overdone
and more limn one newspaper refers to the
fact thai llio lasl Russian loan was Hoalcd
nboul the time the French licet visited Cron-
sladt.
Hut France and Russia are not alone
In the demonstration business ; nem
poror William has douo his share mof
it at Strasburg , C.irlsruliu and
elsewhere ; iho Kmporor Francis Joseph ' '
is now ilolng his llttlo demonstration ; I
Italy , through tlio crown prince , has tluno
hnrs , und ( treat Hritain. not to bn loft on-
Uroly out In the cold , Is sending her Mediter
ranean Heel lo the ( Julf of Toronto , where
llio Canadians are preparing a demonsira-
lion in Kiif/laml's hoiuras an oflsni to the
demonstration In Franco In honor of Russia ,
Thus is all Kuropo demonstrating thu fact
that thcro uro war clouds on the horizon.

BBI : . ] The city of Canton , twenty-inn : miles
below here , is very much agitated over thu
discovery of what is believed to be a case of
genuine leprosy. An immigrant from north
ern Norway , named Mo ICcrsou , lias
a virulent and repulsive disoasu vihieh
has already resulted in the mtlini ;
off of several lingers and toes and which has
affected his whole body. Some of the phy
sicians scout tlio idea of leprosv , and whllo
admitting Ihat the disease is incurable and
is in an advanced stage , consider it n bad
form of syphilis. The man had been NUffor-
ini ; from the trouble for twelve years and is
now in an exceedingly enfeebled condition.

Special to Tun UKK , -News I received from
the scene of the Hra/ilian revolution today
Isn unfavorable to 1'resident 1'cixoto. It is
reported th.it the naval squadron .sent to
quell the revolution ir.v uprising in Ulo
C.rande do Sul has rcliellcd. The ofllccra
refuse to take orders from any one except ,
Admiral Mello , who Is in command of the
rebel licet.
Passenger. * on the Hrltish steamer Mn -
tlalena , which left Kio Janeiro September
ill , report that all steam launches and
li htera In the harbor of lilo are In the
power of Admiral Mello. To prevent sup
plies reaching thu .shore , a vessel from Hio
do l.a Plata , etmtalnim , ' a load of cattle , was
captured by tlio rebels. The cattle were all
thrown overbo.ird.
The Hrltish gunboat Kncer patrols the bay
of Kio undi'ives warnim ; to vessels not to
enter.
Huy Harbn/.a and his secretary took refupo
in the Chilian legation as soon as they heard
of the declaration of the Mpiadron a ain-it ,
IVivoto. When llio Miipdalcna was about
o leave Ulo three days a o they were smuij-
; led on board and are now safe in Monte-
ideo.
The general opinion hero Is that the
revolution will triumph. Tlio bombardment
ol A'icthcroy has been concluded. The ships
if the revolting .squadron attacked and sl-
oneed the forts. President Peixoto threw
nany olllcers of the army into jail to prevent
hem joininn the revolutionists.
Dispatches over private wires state that
ho rovoltcrs hold Nictheroy. They have
complete control of the arsenal and custom
liouse.
Three steamers of the Hrazllian l.loyds
mil a battalion of marine infantry hitvocouo
jver to Mello.
The report of the secession ol the states ot
Hahia and Pernambuco has been conllrmed.
Admiral Mello now Has ti squadron of
thirty war ships and merchant steamers ,
which are well supplied.
President I'eixoto , it is reported , has returned -
turned to Santa Ana with the troops still
loyal to him. It is expected ho will join the
Castilhibtas In Porto Allegro , where ho will
make a tinal stand for the retention of
power , lie has sent a manifesto to all of
the provinces , calling on them to semi troops
to defend Hio Janeiro , but tiiero has not
been a response from a single province.
Steamers reaching here from Kio Janeiro
do not briiiff any independent , papers or news
of any .second bombardment of Kio Janeiro.
ICvcn private correspondence and bank let
ters were suppressed. The passcnj-'urs on
all the ships are quarantined and cannot bo
intorvlowc'l. ( iovornment papers received
Ijy the ships show , however , that the situa
tion is morn serious than Pcixoto's agents
would admit or as represented in the odlcial
reports which they have put in circulation.
There are 1-Joii ulllccr.s ami men attached
to the vessels which have revolted. Several
revolutionary deputies are aboard of them.
The rebels have sei/ud nnd now hold thirty
small ships.
Revolutionists now practically have con
trol of tlie harbor and command the entrance
to Kio Janeiro. All communication between
Mii'tlieroytiiul Kio has been cut on" .
Tim ( laiimp ) resulting from the bombard
ment was much more serious than has been
roDorted. Many persons were hilled. Includ
ing MI Italian sailor , for whom the u'ovcni-
ment paid fVl.lKH ) indemnity. Ono ( lerman
is also reported to have been killed. In ro-
pulsIiiK the nttompted landing' at Mctheroy

Admiral Mello propmsos tu blocliade lilo
