BEGRIMED BOOMERS. Twenty Thousand Dust-Cov ered Homeseekers. WATER TEN CENTS A GLASS. Mistake in Locating Booths Away From Water. HEAT TRICK OF A YOUNG MISS To Outwit Others and Gain an Early Registration. 'TWAS A GOOD-HUMORED CROWD. Arkansas City, Sept. 11.— At 7 o'clock this morning nine inexperienced clerks from Washington began the herculean task of -registering 90,000 strip home-seekers in this vicinity, with more coming within the next live days. During the first hour less than 100 cer tificates were issued, but as the clerks became more familiar with their duties they performed their work with greater rapidity, so that during the last hour of business, from 5 until 6 o'clock, over 200 were issued. Tiie record for the day was 1,089. By a simple arithmetical calculation it can be readily seen that at the present rate all those seeking to register here will not have the oppor tunity. The officer in charge states that he has authority to increase his force.and if more rapid work is not done tomorrow, and if home-seekers continue to arrive in such great numbers as they did today, he will establish another registration booth here. The prospect |j that all will not be able to secure certificates by Saturday noon is causing many boomers to go to other booths along the line. By 5 o'clock Saturday evening men had begun to gather at the registration, booths. An hour later about 2,000 per sons had FORMED IX LINE and fro that time until this morning the lino steadily increased, and two more lines equally long were added. At a fair estimate there are 10,000 men and women waiting lor a chance to get a certificate, without which they will not be allowed to claim a piece of pub lic laud. The scene at the booth is a remarkable one. It is situated on the Cherokee strip, at the northeast corner of the Chilocco reservation. On the one side is the barbed wire fence which incloses the reservation, and on the- Kansas side is a hedge which surrounds a farm. Between is a narrow road a foot deep in dust. Along the fence stretching west from the booth are three lines of men stand ing and sitting on the ground. The air is tilled with dust which hangs in the still air. Around the army tents which compose the booth is stretched a wire fastened to posts, inside of which are thiee or four soldiers keeping the crowd out and putting out those who have reg istered. So great was the movement of horsemen and wagons towards the booth yesterday that by last evening the roads leading there were so con gested by horses and wagons that it was impossible for a horseman lo get through, and very difficult for a man on foot. The air was so F>LLED WITH DUST that looking south from the city the blue of the sky was concealed. Along the roads leading south a constant movement of wagons 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 suffocating air on the roads with handkerchiefs tied across their mouths. When the clerks stepped into their tents to begin business at 7 o'clock a cheer went up from the grimy, half choked crowd. This was carried atong the line and could be heard a mile away by the throng hurrying along the roads to join them. Such a good-natured crowd was never seen. It mattered not to them that they had sat in the dust for thirty-six hours, that they were thirsty, unfed and unwashed. They wanted to get in line and to be registered, and any prospect of doing so revived their spir its. The night had been very chilly, and the hot coffee peddlers moving along the line all night had not relieved the coolness. Men stood in line wrapped iv blankets and canvas overcoats, and e\ciy one had a canteen, jug or bottle, which held his limited supply Of pre cious water. THE FIRST MAN IN LINE was a real estate man from Kansas City— John B. Cameron— who had been there since 3 o'clock Saturday after noon, and he received Certificate No. 1. After him a lot of women were let in and registered, the first one ;Miss Kate Durand, of this place. They had not stood in line, but the men chivalrously gave them precedence. During the first hour the total inadequacy of the regis tration system became apparent. Less than one hundred people got their cer tificates, and great impatience was be ginning to be exhibitec. Lieut. Cald well, of the Third cavalry, had charge of the line and stood on his horse at the head of the lines, with half a dozen troopers keeping order. Great suffer ing is experienced along the line. Many delicate women and at least a dozen men were carried out this forenoon en tirely prostrated with the heat, dust and exhaustion. There is a great scarcity of water. The supply is being hauled from Arkansas City in tank wagons.and it costs 25 cents to get a canteen filled and 10 cents for a cupful. Along the hedge tents have been set up, where beer, sandwiches and pies are sold. Everything is covered with an inch of dust, and the natural color of the men in line cannot be distinguished. The interior department is being bitterly condemned for its action in locating the booths on the 1 ; strip, away from water and shelter. FOOLED THE MEN. Nora Wiley; a fourteen-year-old miss, succeeded In getting a certificate early in the c"ay. The lines were blocked solidly in front of and about toe regis tration booths. l a i she went to one of the, icfrGsiiment booths and secured a tray and two cups of coffee and started cv, aid the center of the crowd. As she DAILY ST.PAUL GLOBE. went along with "Please let me through to the clerks, gentlemen," the men made way for her- and pushed others back. When she finally reached the registration booth she placed the tray on the desk and said: "Mr. Clerk, lam an orphan, and therefore the head of my family, and I want to register for a town lot." The men displaced at first looked blankly at her, and then set up a cheer. The clerk gave her tbe coveted certificate, which she triumphantly waved as she passed through the walls of men. At (5 o'clock the booths were closed, and those who had not yet se cured certificates of registration main tained the lino and settled down to wait the dreary hours for the opening time tomcirow 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 extra ordinary and unusual noises of the occa sion. Others passed the evening hours playing cards, while others attempted to sing. At 9 o'clock the line had pretty generally settled down to quiet, and had assumed much the appearance of an army bivouac. All day Sunday confi dence men plied their trade among the boomers in line with the shell game and three-card monte, and picked up a good deal of money. The county attorney was informed of their operations, and during the afternoon sent out some dep uty sheriffs and drove the sharpers away. Quiet at Caldwell. Caldwell, Kan., Sept. 11. — The 12,000 strippers awaiting here and in this vicinity the opening of tho Chero kee strip to settlement began register ing at the government booths south of here today. The booths opened promptly at 7 o'clock, and the first man in the long line which crept back In serpentine curve into the prairie for a mile or so stepped into the regis tration booth and entered his' name in the big registration book. As he passed Into the next booth to secure his certificate another man took his place in the former booth, and soon all day long; the numbers, in line were admitted one by one aud fulfilled the first requirement of homesteadifig A claim in the strip. As a rule the boomers are men and women of average intelligence. They had studied tho president's proclamation carefully, and most of them knew just what they wanted and how to get it. .-.-.■'■ Boomers' Depredations. Wichita, Kan., Sept. • 11.— Reports from nearly every town and village throughout this section ate full of com plaints of the depredations' being wrought by boomers bound for the strip. Horses have been stolen by scores, cat tle killed and parts taken away, hogs taken, grain bins despoiled- and hen roosts ransacked.. There were ten horses stolen here last .night, three of which had buggies attached, from In front of one church. The sheriff during the day received over forty postal cards describing horses stolen from different points south and west of here. The city council tried to hold a meeting tonight, but it developed that eight out of the twelve couueiimen had left for the strip. More Clerks tinted. Hennessey, O. T., Sept. 11.— The registration booths opened here at 7 o'clock this morning with five clerks on duly. Forty -five hundred people had been standing in line in front of the booths since yesterday evening. When the front flap of , the tent was thrown back, a cheer went . up. 7 The work of registering was very slow, and only 700 certiiieatef were Issued during the day. The whole .number Of waiting homeseekers cannot be regis tered with the present force of clerks, and application has been made to head quarters for an addition to the force. The Rock Island continues to bring in hundreds of boomers. Three hundred arrived by that road today. . Immense Crowds Expected. Muskogee, 1. T., Sept. 11.—Hun dreds of people have left this place and its vicinity, and hundreds of others have passed through here from points further East, nearly all of whom will make for the booth near Stillwater to register, it is believed there will be an immense crowd at this booth, nearly all of whom will try to enter the strip east of that point, most of them going into eituer the Pawnee or Flat Iron country.

Toper a, Kan., Sept. 11.— The Hughes court martial handed down a verdict of "guilty" this morning. Col. Hughes is dishonorably discharged from the mili tary service of the state; he is found guflty on all charges but two, these being "carrying news to the enemy" and "speaking words of encouragement to the enemy." the mentioned in these charges being the lawful house of representatives, as determined by the supVeme court ot the state, the court martial finds him not guilty.

HER WHITE WINGS WON THE RACE OFF SANDY ; HOOK. WILL DEPEND AMERICA'S CUP. Beautiful Trial of Speed by Ves sels of tbe New York Yacht Club to Decide Which Shall Try Conclusions With Eng land's Swiftest Sailer— The Race in Detail. New York, ' Sept. 11.— Vigilant and Victor is the banner the New York Yacht club will swing from its mast head during the coming great contests for the America's cup. Tonight the cup committee chose the Morgan- Tselin boat as the cup defender, for the out and out canter-boarder, the true Yankee type of sailboat, has proved herself a wonder in all weathers. She lives on wind, and can hold enough of tough weather in those great sails of hers to ship the seas open from Sandy Hook to Fire Island. She walked away from the rest of the cup defending lleet today in a wind that came screaming across from England at the rate of twenty-five knots an hour. It was an English wind, but she ate her way into it as a Georgia negro eats his way into a watermelon. A gleaming sea, that lay like an un broken sheet of beaten silver to the East; a blue sky shot with flying clouds, and a wind that shrilled through the rigging with a nasal twang that sounded like the voice of Uncle Sam. Hod in the faces of hundreds of pretty girls, white in tho foam that flew from the soaring liulls,and blu-3 in the rolling deep, where the big fish and the little fish put their noses together and marveled. Uncle Sam's colors throughout, and yet there were men ouir there on the staggering craft who turned up their noses and their trousers and vowed that the big seas over which they were climbing were mole hills compared to the beau tiful creations blown up by the wind of the Isle of Wight. There were girls out there who averred that the qualms which they were suffering were American qualms, and therefore vulgar; but let it' go. Time at last makes alt things even, and if tin' bias of these English jacks is not whelmed under the glorious folds of the old flagon Sept. '2-% many yachtsmen will miss their 'guess. , " GETTING READY* FOR.THE CONTEST. The lout- big racers did not look very gay as they were towed out past the hook by a procession of black and grimy tug;*. There is no poetry in' the soul of a tug, anyway. They simply lay hold and uo tilings. The yachts looked like big lily-white butterflies in the grasp of spiders. Inside the hook' the sea ""was ; respect ably quiet. But outside it climbed and roared away in -Waves' as steep as the roofs of the old Dutch houses of Am sterdam. One by one the tugs cast off their hawsers? aud then 'the racers be gan to tumble on their own responsi bility. The smash ot their* shearing bows as they leaped into the great head seas, sounded like 'the thump of a pugilist's glove against the nose of an adversary. All of them had housed their topmasts aud were staggering along under mainsails and jibs. They had nothing to do for a few minutes but hump around and get the hang of their sea. wings. In the meantime the scat tered fleet was' floundering about next door to Jones' locker. Very miserable some of the smaller craft looked, too. At 10:30 or thereabouts the. little brass cannon on the port side of the May shot an imaginary hole right through the old Scotland lightship, and then the Colonia and Vigilant began to strew the ocean .with enough tacks to lay a large carpet. The Jubilee and Pilgrim held away to leeward, and to all appearances were not anxious to start with' their New York rivals. Ten .minutes more, of marine waltzing, and again the little cannon boomed. A minute later the green-bottomed Colonia reared her long -nose over the line, followed closely by the Vigilant. Hardly had the two lead ing hulls slid over before they swung about on the port tack and went careen ing away like twin gulls. The Pilgrim and Jubilee evidently . intended to have a private battle ef their own. Five minutes after The Vigilant and Colonia got away a third gun was tired, and the two Boston boats came tearing for the line on a fast sprint. The Jubilee got there first by about a min ute.. As soon, as the Pilgrim had crossed the flock of big and little steam ers began to churn away to the best of their ability, and the long, thundering whip to windward had begun. Then a faraway. look, began to come into people's eyes. Their complexions took on a sort of pea-green ' hue, their conversations were .limited,. and .some of them cast their bread and other things upou the waters. It was very rough. EXCITEMENT BAN HIGH. "Vigilant is bearing up to the wind ward" howled somebody with his hand trumpet-fashion to his face. Sure enough, the center-boarder had gone palpably to the windward of the Col onia, and was bucking along like an ocean broncho, with the spray whoop ing tip from her bows in a grand white fleur de lis. Poor Colonia! she hung on gamely for a while, and then stood off by herself to the northwest. She looked like a lonely, Storm-worn dove. The Jubilee was out pointing and seemingly outfooting the Pilgrim. The weather did not seem to fit the latter at all. All at once some body on board one of the big steamers groaned in a loud voice. There had beeu a great deal of groaning going on, and nobody paid much attention to it. The groan, however, was from a man With a bet on the Jubilee. "She's broken the jaws of her gaff," he wailed. In an instant a thousand glasses were on the black Paine boat. The head of the mainsail where it joined the mast was drooping badly. The Jubilee was plunging harder than ever through the rolling rills of green, but a small, fly-like figure started up the reeling mast, stopping, cling ing v and stopping again until it reached the top. Another and another followed until three small black dots were there tugging away to repair the damage. Tbey did remarkably well, for on the next tack, although the end of the gaffjtuck but beyond the mast, it tcid," Ten mi&utes Afterward the Jubilee man groaned again. The jib stay sail of the Boston boat was fluttering downward like a broken wing. Something had given way. No matter what, the result was the same. This time the small blacK dots crept out on the tilting boom and gathered - it in as washerwomen gather in the cargo of a clothesline. Another jib sheet went up in its place, and on went the Jubilee, apparently as fast as ever. .— A NOBLE VICTOR. . Away off in the front the Vigilant was making a grand splurge of it, al most a mile ahead 'of the Colonia, her nearest competitor. A grand boat she looked, carrying easily over the heavy seas with every foot of her mighty sails drawing like a mustard plaster, and her crew lying snugly up to wind ward. Eagle-like she soared up to the buoy, wheeled on her great pinions and- away again over the white-hilled track she had lateiy traveled. She had turned the stake. Even tne pale-faced and miserable creatures who had been dead to the scene since the start crept out with faltering steps and handkerchiefs to their faces to see the buoy rounded. A mile behind the leader came the Colonia, and a mile and a half further baca me Jubilee bowled along. About a mile also separated the Jubilee from the Pilgrim. The race home was the usual proces sion of big canvas pyramids. The Colonia did not gain a jot on the lee ward run. In fact, all the boats seemed to keep their respective positions. The corrected time was as follows: -Vizii ant, 4:06:26; Colonia. 4:13:09; Jubilee, 4:14:45; Pilgrim, 4:29:50. CLEVER YOUNG MARKSMAN. Master Clarence E. Long Dis tinguishes Himself With a Rifle.

Chicago, Sept. 11. -The Roman Cath olic archbishops of the United States' are to meet' tomorrow in confidential session iii the residence of Archbishop Feehan. The movement will be care-, fully guarded against publicity. Mgr. Satolli is uot expected to be present. It is possible, however, that' he may be invited, out of courtesy, to listen to debate on one or more topics. One of the top ics will be the attitude of the church, toward secret or semi-secret societies. Controversy on this head has raged with varying energy in various parts of the country. Owing to lack of agreement among the authorities of the church, an order or society whose . banner: - is' blessed by the bishop of one diocese is. "refused admi?s:on to a church in a contiguous dioje.se. Sensational? and disedifying episodes are . reported?' East and West, arising out of lack of uniformity of -opinion .in * the church concerning the neutral secret organiza tions to whose ranks Roman Catholic^ belong.- Among ' the' organizations whose constitutions and rules will be" "considered by the archbish ops. . tomorrow are the American? Legion of Honor, the Knights Tern-' plar, the Order of the Eastern Star, the Benevolent Protective Order ;afl Elks, • Grand Army of the Republic,': Knights and Ladies of the Golden Rule, Knights of the Maccaoees," : Kiiigfcts or Pythias. United American Mechanics... Royal Arcanum, and the numerous national organizations having relations to foreign politics. . The number of these has become great and their influ ence among their adherents is power fill. Poles, Hungarians, . Bohemians, Russians, French.' Italians, Spaniards,*' and Portuguese have compact and well disciplined bodies whose double tie of? religion and nationality has often been a source of perplexities to pastors and double to bishops. The Catholic uni versity at Washington is another topic to be submitted. As Bishop Keane stated before the Catholic congress, it is lacking means to. found its faculties of science and arts, as well as of medicine aud law. it is uot expected that the school question will cut any figure in the conference. -:.?*.

'Iron and i Steel 7 Men v ; Want/ No ? Tariff Changes. —~ 7 - i Washington, Sept. '}■ 11.— The ; Iron and steel schedules y . were -~ the -sob jects of discussion ?.in? the ways and means committee; today, and a large -delegation, representing nearly every i prominent iron and j steel manufactory _in the country, was present and en deavored to demonstrate to the -committee " ' the Inexpediency. 7 of 'changing the ." tariff schedules on the products in which they are interested. The "delegation j was -. headed -by - Joseph Wharton, ot ; Philadelphia, vice president of tbe 'American Iron and Steel association, and he was the tirst speaker. He said there were 450,000 persons engaged in all capacities in the manufacture of i iron and steel, who represented a pop j ulation of about 2,250,000 who were de pendent upon this industry for a liveli hood; He insisted that the present tariff was the best which had ever been imposed, and that under its operation prices had been reduced to the consumer. "We want no change," added he. "I believe the practice of changing the tariff is one ofthe most noxious things /known to business interests. We are now suffering from a condition of dis tress and strain which, I suppose, few 'people outside of the industry are 'aware of. It is by the destruction of credit. Every man in this business is a borrower/and under the present con dition of affairs it is almost impos sible to get money.. It is not the silver question alone -which has brought this about, but the fear on the part of manufacturers of adverse tariff legislation. Continuing, Mr. Wharton said that all the iron and steel men i wanted was to be placed on au equality with foreign manufacturers. He want ed a specific duty and said that under .the ad valorem system the foreigners defrauded the government by under valuation of his goods." He remarked that a great deal had been heard about "class legislation," which he char acterized as a phantasy, a buga boo which had no real existence. Mr. Wharton underwent a severe cross -examination at the hands of Mr. Turner (Dem., Ga.), who endeavored to elicit ; the. statement that the great, advance of ; Ihe iron and steel business in this coun . try was due more to natural advantages I and improved machinery than to the tariff, but Mr. Wharton took the posi tion that it was due to both causes, and went further and declared that even with the natural advantages and im proved machinery, the home producers could not compete with the foreigner on equal terms without the aid of the tariff - m-m Parochial School Closed^. New York, Sept. 11.— The large pa ( rochial school attached to Father Cor rigah's7church iv Hoboken! was not opened today. The priest did not offer any advice as to what the parents of Catholic children should do. There has been considerable talk that Father Cor rigan 'was endeavoring to have the board of education of Hoboken lease the parochial school building- and open it . without delay as a regular public school. This, some have claimed, is the only way to afford school accommo dations for the Catholic children, as the half-dozen public schools in the city are already crowded to their full capacity. Bishop Wigger, it is said.did not approve of this, but as the story foes, Mgr. Satolli, who is a friend of ather Corrigan's.was inclined to favor The selling ofthe school to the city.

LAST ACT IN THE REPEAL DRAMA DRAWING TO A. CLOSE. SILVER MEN DISCOURAGED. They Are Hopeful of Procuring an Amendment Which Will in Some Form Recognize Silver- No Organized Determination to Filibuster— Calendar Now Bare With tbe One Exception. Washington, Sept. - While all the outward appearances indicate that the situation in the senate is unchanged and that the present debate on the re pea! bill may continue indefinitely, there are certain facts apparent to the ini tiated which go to show that the end is in sight.aud there is a strong probability that the senate will be either ready to adjourn or to take up other legislation 'by the Ist of October. This conclusion is not reached as the result of the state ments given out for effect by the advo cates of the bill, but Is believed to be justified by the circumstances of the situation. Very few of even the staunchest of the silver advocates any lunger claim a majority of the senate upon the subject of repeal.. They aie hopeful of procuring the adoption of au amendment which will give recognition in some form to silver, and thus avoiding the necessity of taking a vote noon the repeal bill as it stands. There are certain votes which they hope to secure for an amend ment of this character. It may be stated definitely that no organized determina tion to filibuster has been reached, and. the possibilities now are that there will be no extended effort after legitimate debate has beeu exhausted to prolong the session of the senate or postpone the time for action upon the bill. The op ponents of the bill recognize that the lime is not propituous for a fili buster, and that, even if they suould attempt to hold off a vote beyond the legitimate time, the circumstances would all be against them. They ap preciate that they are placed at a tre mendous disadvantage by the fact that there are no other important bills be fore the senate, and that they are thus compelled to consume all of the time of the senate sessions. The calendar is so bare now that but for the repeal bill the senate could adjourn tomorrow. An other circumstance which they are called upon to face is the fact that they arc at the beginning of a congress, with no possibility of forcing an adjourn ment if the majority should hold out for continuance until the 4th of March, 1895. While the silver advocates who represent silver-producing states might ; be willing to attempt to prolong the de bate indefinitely, even they recognize that the outlook in view of the 'above* • facts is not encouraging for a filibuster,' and they probably will not attempt it unless they can have the ? support of a respectable number of their Southern friends on the Democratic side. While they do not confess that. they expect these men to desert them, they doubt less realize that it will be difficult to hold them long after legitimate debate has been exhausted. There are a suffi cient number of speeches announced to consume the time of the senate for prob ably two weeks. After that it will be necessary to either go over the same ground in speeches, begin actual fili bustering operations or let the voting begin. It will rest largely with the Southern opponents of the bill In the senate to decide whether tho vote shall be postponed or taken. It is safe to say that if they, or the majority of them, decide against a filibuster, it will not be undertaken. Senator Pugh's speech today gives some reason for believing that the Southern senators may be dis posed to hold out indefinitely for the de . feat of the bill, but other senators who are situated as he is. and who believe as lie does as to the merits of the bill, have not so clearly outlined their politics. HILL IS HOUSED. He Severely Criticises Mr. Stew- art's Resolution. Washington, Sept. 11.— In the sen ate today Mr. Stewart (Rep., Nev.) sub mitted a resolution 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 banks. He said the organs of Wall and Lombard streets had for sev eral years besn charging senators repre senting silver states with voting on matters in which they were personally interested. He had not for fifteen years been interested in any respect, personally, in any silver mine or bullion. :?7 Mr. Hill (Dem., N. V.) thought- the resolution was not a wise one, and he could uot believe that the senator from Nevada was serious in present ing it. It was au unprecedented aud unheard-of resolution. '-Sir, 1 can not resist the conclusion," said Mr. Hill in tones of gravity, "that the introduc tion of this resolution is to some extent a reflection upon the senate, the intima tion implied by ft was that senators would be influenced by holding stock in national banks in reference to the pass age of financial measures. The seuate would belittle itself by instituting any such inquiry. I think it an uncalled for and unnecessary resolution." Mr. Stewart attempted to reply, but an ob jection from Mr. Hawley (Rep., Conn.) sent the resolution over until tomorrow. CALLED A HALT. % Officials Instructed Not to Enforce the Geary Law. Washington, Sept. 11. — Attorney General Olney has insti ucted United States marshals to take no further steps for the enforcement of the Geary law, pending specific instructions to the con trary from Washington. These instruc tions do not apply, however, to the Chinese already in progress of depor tation by due process of law. J. Hubley Ashton, of counsel for the Chinese, ap plied to the treasury department today for a stay of proceedings in the case of the Chinese recently ordered back to China the district court at Los Ange les? He was referred to the department of justice, and was there iuformed*thafc the department would not interfere In the cases that have already been passed upon by the United States. The j new Chinese minister to this couutry. Jang Yu, was at the state department today, and, it is understood, was in formed by Secretary Gresham of the in tention of the administration to suspend further action under the exclusion act pending the action of congress on the bill Introduced by. Representative Ev erett to extend to Sept. 1, 1894, the time in which the Chinese may register. The change in the attitude of the treasury department, which last week was con templating instructions for the enforce ment of the Geary law is, it is believed, due to the strong protests of the Chinese government.coupled with the intimation that in the event of such action that government would no longer assume re sponsibility for the future safety of Americans in Chinese territory. CANADIANS KICK. They Refuse to Ratify the Immi gration Agreement. , Washington, Sept. 11.— Secretary Carlisle has received a telegram from .Ottawa stating that the Canadian gov ernment has refused to ratify the immi gration agreement made by Supt. Stump and Dr. Senner, the commissioner of New York, while ou their recent visit to Canada. The agreement was to the effect that all immigrants landing at Canadian ports, but destined for the United States, should be inspected at the port of entry by United States olii cers. The agreement was made with persons representing the Canadian steamship and railroad companies, and with the deputy ministers of the in terior of Canada, subject to the approval/ of the minister of the interior, who was absent at the time, and of Secretary Carlisle. Secretary Carlisle approved the agreement Saturday. Accorded Respectful Attention. Washington, Sept. 11.— the sen ate today the greater part of the time was occupied by Senator Pugh (Ala.) in opposition to the repeal of the Sherman law. He was followed by Senator Teller (Col.), also against the bill, who concluded his speech begun ou Satur day last. The silver men neither Sat urday nor today followed the tac tics inaugurated early last week of insisting upon the presence of a quorum, and apparently the feeling be tween the friends and opponents of re peal is much better than it has been heretofore during the session. Both Mr. Pugh and Mr. Teller discussed the question in a calm and dilinilied man ner, and they were accorded most re spectful attention. Will Be a Great event. Washington, Sept. 11. — Active preparations are going forward for the centennial celebration of the laying of the corner stone of the Capitol build ing, which takes place one week from today. That it will be one of the great est local- celebrations Washington has ever experienced is assured. The event to be commemorated, as well as -the in teresting nature of. the ceremonies, must command national 'attention: The participation of the principal officers of the government, the president and vice president, speaker of the house, and a justice of the Uuited States supreme court, is fitting and appropriate. They will be reinforced by the representa tives of the district government* and citizens. Business Suspended. Washington, Sept. 11.— A dispatch from the United States minister to Brazil, Mr. Thompson, was received at the state department today, but it con tained nothing not known at the de partment except that commerce and business was suspended as a result of the declaration of .martial law.

LEARNED MEN OF ALL NATIONS Sing "Praise God From Whonj All Blessings Flow." 'TWAS A BRILLIANT GATHERING. Chicago, Sept. 11.— A processional Tn which the religions of the world were represented marked the opening of the world's parliament of religions at tho institute today. It was a processional that had a world of meaning in it, one that would have been impossible not many years ago. Jew marched with Gentile and Catholic marched with Protestant. The religious cliques of India, China and of japan were repre sented, as well as those of the English speaking nations. All, attired in their priestly robes and wearing the insignia of their office, marched iv peace and fellowship to the platfoini, while the audience rose and cheered at the sight. First came Cardiual Gibnons, es corted by President Bonney. Then came Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs. Charles Henrotin, representing the board of lady managers of the world's * fair.and then followed with their suites: Archbishop Redwood, of New Zea land; Archbishop Dionysios Latas, of Zante, Greece; Rev. John Henry Bur rows, of Chicago; Archbishop Feehaii; Count Abornstorff, of Berlin; Dr. Carl yon Bergen, of Sweden: Prof. C. N. Chaharar, H. D. Harmapaia, and P. C. Moosomad.tr, of India; Rev. Augusta J. Chanin, of Chicago; Rev. Alexander D.. MeKenzie Pung Quaiig Yu, of China; Dr. E. G. Hirsch, of Chicago; Miss Jeanne and Khersedji Langraua, of Bombay; Bishop Bwarnett and Mrs. Laura Onniston Chant. Even more in spiring was the scene when THE VAST AUDIENCE AROSE and joined in singing '-Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." aim later,, when Cardinal Gibbous led those of all ' nations and all religious in reciting the ? Lord's prayer. Before the formal open- , ing of the congress President Bouncy, ot the World's Congress auxiliary, held au informal reception in hall 2, where he shook Hands with and introduced to j , each other many of the lights of about.??? alt- the religions ot.- Wiil world* -.Tluaro were men if ron) India, China, Bombay, .?' Greece, Japan, Russia, New Zealand ; and Turkey, in addition to many from .', countries that are nearer to us. Some ,. were in their native costumes, which gave the gathering a more brilliant and , cosmopolitan appearance. There was _ not a - vacaut seat iv the hall,, and the walls were fringed with people standing up when Clarence Eddy took his seat at the organ ami played a couple of selections previous to the pro cessional, by which the proceedings ' were opened. President Ron ney made the address ot welcome. He said they should give thanks for being able to take part in so grand a congress, one that so fully exemplified peace and progress and whicli would have so good an influence ou the world. After re viewing the programme of the congress, Mr. Bonney welcomed ail iv the name of the brotherhood of religion. Rev. John Henry Burrows, chairman of the committee on organization; then ad dressed the congress. He said the meeting this morning had become A GRAND NEW FACTOR in the history of the human race that would never be obliterated. Never be fore had such a congress been under taken, and not long ago it would have been deemed impossible to carry it to successful completion. He extended a welcome to the representatives of all religions present, and predicted that great good would come of their discus sion. Archbishop Feehan followed, welcoming the delegates on behalf of the Catholic church. He said mat the assembly was one unique in the history of the world. Learned men had come from all countries to speak and to tell us of those things that" were of the greatest interest to all— of God— of His truth and justice, of His worship, of peace and of mercy. No matter how we should differ in religion, there was one thing that was common to us all, and that was our common humanity. The archbishop welcomed the delegates in his own name and in all he repre sented. Cardinal Gibbons had to leave early, so his response to the address of welcome was called for out of its order. He said that though all did not agree on matters of faith, there was oue platform on which all were united— that was charity, humanity and benevolence. He spoke of the good Samaritan, who bound up the wounds of a man who was his enemy in religion aud in social life, and said that that was the example that we all ought to follow. He said that he could not impress too strongly on every one that each was his brother's keeper. That was the whole theory of humanity. If Christ had cried with Cain, "Am I my brother's keeper?" we would still be walking in darkness. Rev. Augusta J. Chapin welcomed the congress on be half of women. The parliament of re ligious, she said, was' the grandest and most significant gathering that had ever been assembled on, this earth. Presi dent II both am, of the Columbian exposition, next welcomed the delegates on behalf of the world's fair, He said - it was a source of great satisfaction that a new city in a far part of the world should be accorded the honor of these congresses. They were THE GREATEST HONOR; *, of the world's fair year. Rev. Alexander MeKenzie, the next speaker, said that he supposed that every one who spoke today stood -for something, and he stood for the old settlers, the Puritans. There was one thing that we could show the foreigners that could be seen nowhere else in the world, and that was CoMluAueA wv Fiuutli Fuse.
