REGISTRATION HAS BEGUN
Agricultural and Grazing Land In
Montana, Idaho and Washington
Hitherto Occupied by Aborigines to
Be Thrown Open to White Settle
ment—Choice of Locations to Be
Determined by Lottery.
Coeur d'Alene, Ida., July 15.—With
the opening of today's mall by James
W. Witten, government superintend
ent of land opening in this place, this
first stop was tak-jn in the throwing
open to white settlement of more than
700,»00 acres of agricultural and graz
ing lands in the Northwest
The government offers to settlers
three Indian reservations—that of the
Coeur d'Alene Indians in Northern
Idaho, that of the Spokanes in Wash
ington and that of the Flatheads in
Montana. Registration begins today
and will continue until Aug. 5. All
who desire to register for these lands
must go in person to the registration
points at Kalispell or Missoula, Mont.,
to register for Flathead lands to this
city to register for Coeur d'Alene
lands and to Spokane to register for
Spokane lands. Applications by mail
will be received only at Coeur d'Alene,
where Judge Witten will conduct the
lottery for the choice of lands begin
ning on the morning of Aug. 9. Ap
plications, which may be sworn to be
fore a notary public, must be sent to
Judge Witten by ordinary mail, not
by registered mail, and the envelopes
must bear no distinguishing marks,
such as return cards or addresses of
senders.
Special Privilege of Veterans.
Soldiers and sailors of the Civil
war, Spanish war and Philippine in
surrection, or their widows or cliil
dren, may register through agents.
This means that the veterans or their
heirs do not have to come to the
Northwest to register.
About 3,7C0 farms will be opened
for settlement. For several months
the land ofllce has been receiving
from S00 to 1,000 letters a day from
prospective settlers inquiring as to
the conditions governing the lottery.
Only 3,000 or 4,000 people can hope
to receive the prizes.
It must be understood that the lands
are not to be given away, but must
be paid for within five years on terms
fixed by the government, at the rate
of from $1."5 to $7 per acre. The
farms to be sold measure 160 acres
each. There are conditions of settle
ment, etc., to be met by the pur
chasers.
The principal crops produced on
these Indian lands are wheat, oats
and hay, but much of the soil has
also proved itself to be admirably
adapted to the cultivation of potatoes,
sugar beets and other root crept, also
tree and vine fruits.

OF GERMANY NAMED
Dr. Yd f^snn-llcliweg Suc­
cess Von Euelow.
Berlin, Jnly 15.—Dr. von Bethmann
Hollweg has been appointed chancel
lor of the empire in succession to
Prince von Buelow.
Various other cabinet changes were
gazetted. Herr Delbrueck of the in
terior department succeeds Dr. von
Bethmann-Hollweg as minister of the
interior and vice chancellor Reinhold
Sydow, secretary of the imperial treas
ury, goes to the department of com
merce Herr Wermuth, under secre
tary for the interior under Dr. von
Bethmann-Hollweg, becomes secretary
of the treasury, and Ludwig Holle,
Prussian minister of public Instruc
tion, retires on account of ill health
and is succeeded by Von Trott zu
Solz, president of the province of
Brandenburg. Count von lxebell,
chief of the imperial chancellory, has
been appointed president of Branden
burg.
Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, in his
political principles, is a mild Con
servative, but he Is most particular in
the application to himself of the tra
ditional policy that the servants of
the crown must bo nonpartisan. The
new chancellor's speeches on social
questions since he has been minister
of the interior have been liberal in
tone. This wa3 particularly marked
in an address in which he condemned
certain aspects of morality in Berlin
and defended warmly the German
workmen's need for proper recreation.
Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg has de
voted himself to improving the condi
tion of the artisan class. Since he
became minister of the interior Dr.
von Bethmann-Hollweg has distin
guished himself by preparing an im
perial insurance law and a law con
trolling a right of assemblage, both
of which passed the reichstag.
TETANUS INCREASING LIST
Death* Due to Observing Independ
ence Day Now Number 112.
Chicago, July 15.—Ten more deaths
due to tetanus as a result of the
Fourth of July celebration are report
ed throughout the country. This
brings the total deaths due to the ob
servance of Independence day .from
all causes up to 112.
One of the victims is Professor W.
R. Pitkin, head instructor of the com
mercial department at Albion (Mich.)
college. His death was caused by
the premature explosion of a revolver
July 5. Tetanus soon developed.
Shots Intended for Anotrier.
Altoona, Pa., July 15.—Frank E. Mo
Millen, aged thirty-one years, shot and
instantly killed his wife, aged twenty
three. at their home in Greenwood
a Buburb, with one of a fusillade of
shots directed at William E. McDow
•11 said to have been the woman's

jured.
FIGHTING IS MORE
SEVEBEJN PERSIA

HEAVY ARTILLERY USED
Defenders of Teheran Desperately Re

ter Succeed in Occupying Strong
Point—Soldiers of the Shah From
8ultanabad Hurrying to Assist Gar
rison at Capital.
Teheran, July 15.—The fighting in
the streets of Teheran that has been
going on more or less continuously
since the nationalist forces made their
entry into the capital has become
more serious. The Persian Cossacks,
with a heavy artillery fire, resisted
the attempt of the nationalists to rush
the Cossacks' position from the north
and east. The nationalists succeeded
in occupying a garden close to the
house of Colonel Liakhoff, the mili
tary commander of Teheran, where
they are being shelled by the Cos
sacks.
Rifle and artillery fire has been
practically continuous for thirty-six
hours. Soldiers of the shah from Sul
tanabad have approached to within
three miles of the city and are shell
ing Hakaristan, the quarter of the city
where the parliament building is situ
ated. It is reported that the shah's
troops are endeavoring to enter the
city by one of the northern gates.
Shah May Have Escaped.
The greatest uncertainty prevails as
to the whereabouts of the shah. It
was generally supposed that he was
in the fort placed in the central
square defended by the Cossacks, but
the impression has gone abroad that
he has escaped to his summer home
in the suburb of Sultanabad.
The nationalists in one day's occu
pation have almost completely sub
dued the town, the Inhabitants en
dorsing the revolt and pledging sup
port to the tempered scheme of gov
ernment which Sardarasad, leader of
the Bakhtiari tribesmen, is ad minis
terir.g from the parliament house, of
which he took possession on his en
trance to the city.
No estimate of the number of those
killed In the fighting is possible, ow
ing to the wide territory over which
the flgntlng spread. It Is generally
believed, however, that both sides
lost heavily.
REVOLT NIPPED IN THE BUD
Martial Law Declared in Spanish
Honduras.
New Orleans, July 15.—Martial law
has been declared all along the coast
of Spanish Honduras, according to Dr.
Timotee Maralda, former minister of
Honduras to Nicaragua, who has ar
rived here from Central America. Dr.
Maralda asserts the failure of the gov
ernment to pay its soldiers and offi
cials sums demanded precipitated the
trouble. The prospective revolution
ists are said to have been speedily
dispersed by government forces.
STRIKERS AND POLICE CLASH
Dozen Persons Injured In Riot at Mc
Kees Rocks, Pa.
Pittsburg, July 15.—Serious trouble
occurred at the pressed steel bar
plant, McKees Rocks, near here,
where a strike of 1,200 steel workers
has been in progress for several days.
The police and strikers clashed
with the result that a dozen persons
were injured, having sustained their
hurts by being struck with stones and
clubs. The police shot their reTOlwrs
into the air.

JULY V/HEAT REACHES
to
Dernaad Shorts,
Chicago, July 15.—Wheat for July
delivery made a sensational advance
of 5 cents per bushel on the board of
trade when it jumped to $1.25 during
the first half hour of trading. This
price eclipsed by cents the previ
ous high point "for the season.
The bulge was due to the extremely
urgent desire of many traders to
oover short sales in view of the poor
prospect of any considerable move
ment of new wheat to market this
month, rains having interfered with
harvest operations, in the West and
Southwest. The market for the July
option has been In a congested condi
tion ever since the closing of the cele
brated "deal' in the May delivery and
when traders sought to buy the July
wheat there was almost none to be
had.
The price at the opening was $1.
20% to $1.21%. The price continued
to advance *y leaps of one-quarter to
1 cent at a jump. When the price
touched $1.25 a big shout arose.
The climax seemed to have been
reached at this figure and the price
sagged somewhat on realizing sales.
Before the close of the market July
went to $1.27, a gain of 7 cents for
the day.
