EL RENO, O. T., July 11. The total res
iatratlon of homesteaders at El Reno yes
terday was 4,018, 103 being women. Com
nlssloner Richardson established a separate
registration booth (or women. Mr. Hlcbard
on says ho can register 8,000 dally from
sow on or as soon as organization ot his
force Is perfected.
El, HENO, O. T July 10. Following out
the proclamation of President McKlnlcy
opening up to settlement by whites
the 1,300 farms In the Klowa-Coman-
cho country, the first registration of
homcseekers was mado here and nt Law
ton at 0 o'clock this morning. Hundreds
wore stilt lined Wore the various 'regis
tration boards when darkness came tonight
and tomorrow and next day the registra
tions will continue until all who come have
bcon given an opportunity to fllo their
mmcs. The drawing by lottery will begin
July 29 and until then nono of the 60,000
applicants will know whether or not he has
been lucky enough to receive a homostcad.
The lottery scheme rubbed the opening
of the plcturcHque run nnd the exciting
times Incident to the great opening of the
Cherokee strip ten years ago. Compared
with that event the affair today was tame
In the extreme. Although there are per
hups 20,000 pcoplo In town, practically no
disorder pruvalled. As a rule the home
noekers were well provided with money and
provisions and aside from tho long wait In
tho sun beforo the registration booths, no
urlous Inconvenience has boon experienced.
Sleep In Open Street.
Last night hundreds of people slopt in
the streots and alleys to maintain their
pUccs in lines which began forming yes
terday at the six registration booths In
El Reno. Many had waited on the border
of the new country for two yearn or more
and tho last night of their long vlgtl was
the moat trying they had experienced. The
line was made up of the halt, the lame
and the brawny frontiersman, sprawled out
In tho duif. The' cfKl beforo cucb bpalh
elected a captain and each man and woman
In line was given a number which they
pinned conspicuously to their clothes. A
fcompany mornber was permitted occasion
ally to absent himself from line for u short
treating spell and Invariably his placo was
protected by his follow watchers.
Interloper Try to I'liah In.
As the hour of 9 o'clock nearcd Inter
lopers tried to push In and break the
numerical order of tho line organization.
This Instantly raised bad blood and when
word was passod down the line a little later
that the booth officials would not recognize
the line organization, but would register
the first person to present thomselves,
there was threats of vlolonco and rioting
seemed likely. Troublo was prevented by
tho early nnnouueemeut that tho line or
ganization would be respected by the gov
ernment officials. Cheers nnd waving of
hats greeted the word and from this time
forth no sign ot trouble was apparent. Ap
plicants were admitted to the booths four
at a time and the Ming procoedod rapidly
all day long.
Gallant to the Women.
During the day the heat became Intense,
but no serious suffering was reported. Tho
numerous women in line wero treated gal
lantly by the men, who shaded them from
tho sun with umbrellas and furnished
drinks from the lemonade venders who
piled their ranks.
Tho second place of registration named In
the proclamation was at Lawton, twenty
flvo miles overland, whore similar scones to
those enacted in El tl?no were witnessed.
Tho people In the vicinity of Mountalnvlew
and other points along the border con
tiguous to that point left yesterday for the
Interior nnd presented themselves early to
day at Lawton booths.

WASHINGTON, July 10. The complaints
from land offices In Oklahoma other than
El Keno and Lawton that they should be
allowed to make registrations from tho
opening of the reservations are regarded
officially as not well founded. Tho matter
was taken up some weeks ago and Delegnte
Flynn nt tho time unsuccessfully endeav
ored to have the other Oklahoma offices
Included.
It Is claimed hero that the reports ot the
number ot cattle on the lund to be opened
has been exaggerated and that there are In
fact on tho Wichita reservation only 72
000 head. The opening of certain lands nn
August 6, which stockmen are seeking to
have postponed, Is mandatory. A large part
of tho 72,000 head on the Wichita lands,
It Is claimed, can bo shipped to market
by the allotted tlmo and the rest moved
down to tho Kiowa grazing lands, which
will not bo thrown open to settlement.
In response to n telegram from John W
Bprlngcr, president ot the National Live
Stock association, Secretary Hitchcock has
wired the following:
"Tho law left tho department no dis
cretion but to open tho reservations on the
Cth of August In conformity with the presi
dent's proclamation dated the tth Instant."

NEW YOIIK, July 10. The noer refugee,
David Stephen Duplooy, who was held by
the Immigration ofllclals as a stowaway
Immigrant, was released today by the board
of special Inquiry, after examination Into
the case. Duplooy came here on tho Trin
idad, after escaping from DarrcH's Island.
Tho caso was treated as that of a stowaway
Immigrant, no weight being given to tho
fact that Duplooy had been a prisoner of
war. It. von Schroom, owner of an apart
ment house In this city and ot a ranch In
Yuma county, Colorado, assured the board
that ho would look after the Doer and that
there wns no danger of him being a public
charge, tho board then disposed of the
case by Imposing a fine of $10, which was
paid by ChnrlcA D. I'lercc, tho former rep

LONDON, July 10. At Guild halt to
day a meeting was held In support of tho
government's war policy. It was a great
success from tho "Jingo" point of view.
Tho Idea originated on tho Stock exchango
and was Intended as an offset to the recent
pro-Doer gathering at Queen's hall.
Tho grcut hall, having a capacity of 4,000
persons, did not sufllcc to contain tho
crowd, which necessitated an overflow
meeting outsldo, whoro the pro-war en
thusiasts made a demonstration of an even
more pronounced character than that of
tho stock brokers within.
Tho British generals were cheered nnd tho
names of Henry Labouchero and other
sympathizers wero hissed and hooted.
Tho lord mayor presided, surrounded by
conservative members of tho House of
Commons, bankers and others.
A resolution expressing complete con
fidence In tho South African policy of tho
government and protesting against the at
tacks of tho opposition, which wero
characterized as unpatriotic, was adopted
In the midst ot wild scenes of enthusiasm.

LI Hung Chang proposes to withdraw all
tho Chinese troops from Manchuria with
the object of avoiding nil chances of col

Russian troops will bo needed to preserve

policemen will be employed there, accord
ing to tho definition now given to the
Russo-Chtncso ngrcement regarding! Man

have combined with robbers to plunder tho
people and resist the Russians. It appears
that no control is exercised over the Chi

The democratic state convention here to
day had mure prominent men ns delegates
than any convention of democrats In Ohio
for many years. It was otherwise dis
tinguished. The nomination of Colonel
Kllbourue -was appropriately called one ot
"spontaneous combustion." Howclls, Hldy,
AlBblre and Holman were favorites at great
odds from the start. Young was sprung
as a surprise and nominated over Smoots,
who had been such a favorite that others
would not previously cuter tho race for
clerk ot the supreme court. None of the
delegates outside of Clovcland knew Young
and ho was nominated becauso Cuyahoga.
wanted him. Cuyahoga could get anything
It wanted, except tho head of the state
ticket, after tho Johnson amendments were
Ingrafted Into tho McLean platform nnd
that document as amended was adopted
with unanimity.
It wns currently reported that Johnson
desired tho nomination ot Monnette us at
torney general and that the McLean men
wanted Monnette defeated. At any rute,
tho defeat of Monnette was so decisive as
to bo a feature of the convention and he
wob not defeated by Mykrantz, who had
been tho favorite, but by McCarthy, who
was being called nn "also ran" until one
of tho Monnette men circulated the re
port that McCarthy was an attorney tor
tho Standard Oil company. When the re
action camo on this rhnrgo, Mykrantz with
drew during the ballot In favor ot Mc
Carthy and tho latter got two-thirds of
tho votes.
Hitter Ascnlnat Ilrynn,
Monnette, as attorney general, had
brought suits against tho Standard Oil
company nnd other corporations to cancel
tholr charters undor tho anti-trust laws.
Ho had sought a third term nomination
from the republicans on the Issue that he
should be retained In that office to continue
these prosecutions. After his defeat for
the third term nomination In 1899 ho sup
ported Bryan In 1900 on the anti-trust Is
sue and canvassed Ohio and other states
with Bryan. Judge Smallcy, In presenting
Mounctte's name, said ho was known from
the Golden Gate of .'Han ' Francisco to the,
Hell Goto of' Now York as the enemy of
trusts.
In the alleged stampede "for principles
rather than men" the most striking turn of
tho convention was on Bryan. Tho most
bitter things wero said ot his leadership
In tho, committee on resolutions this morn
ing when It was Insisted that his name
should not bo mentioned and that there
should be ro reforenco to either ot the
national platforms on which ho mado his
campaigns. After this plan had been
agreed on one of the twenty-ono members
ot that commlttco offered a minority re
port, reaffirming tho Kansas City platform
and expressing confidence In Bryan, and he
recolved only six votes out of 950 delegates
on his substitute for the platform pro
amble. A few moments after the platform
was adopted, one of these six delegates
called attention to the fact that pictures
of other democrats were displayed In the
hall and none of Bryan as heretofore. Ho
started to carry a small banner with
Bryan's picture on to the platform. The
aisles were ordered cleared and the picture
did not reach Its destination. It was tram
pled under foot and spoiled during tho wild
demonstrations when Kllbourne was ei
cortcd Into the hall. Members of the com
rultteo on resolutions say that over .ouo
hour was spent after last midnight In
efforts to strike the word "saleable" out ot
the plank on railway taxation and several
hours In denouncing the Chicago nnd Kan
sas City platforms and the leader who stood
on them. Tho plBtform caused as much
comment tonight over what It docs not
say as well as over what It does say.
Unusual Interest Is bolng taken In the
selection of members ot tho state exccutlvo
committee by tho stati central committeo,
which ndjournod until July 20 without se
lecting Its chalrmun or secretary. It Is
said that nono of tho candidates for either
of these places can sccuro a majority of tho
twenty-one- votes and that Colonel Kll
burno will be compelled to co-operate with
either the McLean men or tho Johnson
men who are not talking friendly of each
other, to control tho slate executive com
mittee. In tho selection of this executive
body, tho head of tho ticket has always
been consulted.
In this connection there aro all sorts ot
ruuto.-s about the senntorshlp, for which
the convention endorsed no one as the
democratic candidate to succeed, flcnutur
Forakor. The names of John R. McLean
and Tom L, Johnson nro most prominently
mentioned In this connection, No one Is
able to poll twenty-ono members of this
committee to tell how It will stand with
tho Cincinnati ond Cleveland clomonts
after the Novembor election If the demo
crats should have a majority In tho legisla
ture. .Toll it x itn Stork lloonilnK'.
Previously to the assembling of tho con
vention today there was uniuunl agitation
among tho delegates.
C. P. Salcn, a member of Mayor John
son's cabin. at Cleveland, had been con
tinued ns I'lrtaauent chairman and other
friends of o. son had socured the taxa
tion resolutic.is that wero wanted. There
was much talk about tho Kllbourne and
McLean men having differences, but It be
came evldout later on that tho Johnson
men had won on the taxation Issues without
nny othor changes.
Tho convention was not called to order
till about It o'clock by Chairman Brucker,
when r-rayer was ofrerett by Rev. John
Hewitt Hon. Chnrles P. Salen was greeted
with nn ovation on being Introduced as tem
porary chairman.
Before Salon could proceed the Cuyahoga
delegation gave three cheers for "Tom
Johnson and Charlie Salen" and the demon
strations followed.
The closing ptrt of Salen's speech on
railway taxation was loudly applauded.
After he adoption ot the rules nnd ordor
of business the report on credentials was

PYTHIAMS LET HINSEY RESIGN
They Are Tint, However, Thronith
Making Trouble for Eitdon nient
Itnuk'a Former President.
CHICAGO, July 10. The supreme lodge
of tho Knights of Pythias, now In sess.on
In Chicago Investigating the affairs of the
endowment rank of the order, late tonight
accepted tho resignation of John H. Hlnscy,
former president of tho endowment rank,
ns a member of tho board of control. Fol
lowing this the stiprcmu ledge ndopted n
resolution which Instructed the supremo 1
chancellor and board ot control to prose
cute civilly nnd criminally all persons lia
ble for offenses committed against the en
dowment. This resolution passed unanimously, as
did another Instructing the orrtcent to pro
ceed with a view to expelling members of
tho order from their respective lodges who
might be found guilty of violating their
obligations In the handling of funds
After tonight's adjournment It wat. said
that It criminal prosecutions nro Instituted,
which now seems to be nlmost certain, a
number of men who were formerly con
nected with the endowment rank and whom
tho supremo ofllclals considered responsible
for the present condition would be compli
cated, Tho action on the resignation of Mr. Hln
scy wns taken after a two days' session, und
tho findings bf the board of control of the
endowment rank and those of the Insur
ance commissioners of Illinois, Connecticut
and Kansas had been gone over and fully
discussed,
Mr. Hlnscy mado good his rtomlso to ap
pear beforo the supreme council In hla own
defense. It wns bald that his explanations
regarding tho Investments of funds mado
while he was at tho head ot tho rank wero
fnr from satisfactory to tho supremo lodgo
representatives. A motion to adopt tho
report of the board of control, which by
Inference at least contalr.cd somo serious
charges against Mr. Hltuty, was carried by
n vote of 130 to 1, the one being John
Burns, of Ohio, who Is tfld to bo tho legal
representative of Mr. Ulnsey
Immediately following this vote a resolu
tion wnH offered to sur.pend Mr. Hlnscy
from tho supremo lodge. Then It wns found
there were many members who believed the
laws of tho supremo lodge did not give na
thorlty to expel a member without trial.
Whllo this discussion was going on Mr.
HInsey tendered his resignation nnd tho
supremo lodgo seeing an easy way out of
Its dllcmna accepted tho' resignation. The
supreme representatives, however, wero not
In a mood to lot the disposition of' lunacy's
membership In tho supremo lodge scttlo tho
matter.
The following resolution was ndopted:
Resolved, That tho supreme chnn-e'lor
nnd board of control be nnd they nro he cby
authorized nnd empowered and directed to
prefer chnrges nnd prosecute or cause to
be prosecuted beforo the proper tribunal
or tribunals ot tho order ull persons here
tofore or now connected with tho endow
ment rank for nny and nil violations of
their obllgutlons nnd for nny and nil of
fenses ngnlnst the laws of tho order.
Then followed the adoption of the losolu
tlon directing the supreme ofilclalft to In
stitute civil and criminal prosecutions.
This resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That tho supreme chancellor
and board of. control bo und they, arc
horeby empowered and tri ted to,proe
cut or cause to Ii )ro. , T (:flrnlrtally
In any court ull .voifi w,(t,- bit.' 'im
bczzled tho funds of tho .orders defrauded
tho order, committed perjury or nny other
offense In connection with the Endowment
runk ond that they bring or cause to bo
brought civil action against nil persn s
who nro liable to tho order from nny ciuiso
In connection with the Endowment rank.
Tho wording ot this resolution Is gen
erally regarded as containing the charges
under which prosecution Is to bo Instituted.
Mr. Hlnscy Is a member of Inter Domain
lodge of this city and It is probable the'
supremo officials will prefer the charges
against him In that lodge.
As to how to replenish tho funds tho
supreme lodgo has not as yet decided.
There Is a proposition bofore It materially
to inqrease tho monthly payments on In
surance policies. It seemed to be tho
opinion that this would bo adopted.
