Elaborate preparations had been made
by the local entertainment committee.
those delegates who arrived last night
saw the city under blaze of illimina-

at many corners, and ~ the light of

banks and most of the prominent build

flags and bunting, and Welcome
stares the nabobs in the eyes at every
turn. The Hobbies of the various hotels
where the delegates are stopping
are also beautifully decorated,
and every where appears evidence OF
! an universal desire TO do honor to the
bankers. The convention is the larg-
est ever held by the bankers. When
the convention was called to order 5S7
names had been resistered with Secre-
tary Green of the association at his
headquarters at the Midland, and it
was estimated that there were fully
one-half of the mambers scattered
around the city who had not registered
their names. Rain fell in torrents all
| day yesterday, but when the conYen-
ton met to-day. the sky had cleared
and the weather was than of typical
| fall day. The hour of assembly was
down on the programme as 10 O'Clock
this morning, but it was fully an hour
| after that time when President Chas.
Pearson of st. Louis called the conven-
ton te order at the Warder Grand OPP

at Juneau park where 100, 900 people

Nj. RooseveItss Trfp.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. A.-Civil
Service Commissioner Theodore Roose-
veIt has just returned from a month IS
visit to his ranch in North Dakota.
He killed two grizzly bears and took
observations of the political situation
in the northwest. Mr.. Roosevelt is
mentioned among the senatorial posi-
bilities of the new state of North Da-
kota, but he says he is not candidate.
Mr.. Roosevelt claims something of a
residence in North Dakota, but there
is no reason TO believe that he has any
senatorial aspirations. He says the
first he heard of his senatorial boom,
and all that he has heard Of it, was
what has appeared in the papers.
While in the northwest he took a trip
through Montana as well as the Da-
kotas, and he predicts that the two Da-
kOtas will go republican by large ma
jorities. AS to Montana, however, he
thinks there is some doubt about the
result. He predicts the election of
Carter, republican candidate for con-
gress, but says that the democrats are
likely to elect the governor. The re-
publicans have strong hopes of elect
ing the legislature, although the re-
suit is somewhat doubtful. Mr.. Il.
explains that he would have remained
in Montana and taken part in the can
Yass in behalf Of the republicans. but
for the fact that he is a n emDer of the
civil service commission, and thinks
that such action on his part would
have been deemed improper.

Resumsd Hss session.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Sept. 25.-The
Interstate commission resumed its ses-
sion here to-day. The morning was de-
voted to the hearing of witnesses in the
cases begun yesterday by Lehman,
Hugginson & Go. of Humboldt, Kan
sas against the Southern Pacific and
other railroad companies in which it is
charged that they are Disseminated
against in freight charges on sugar
shipped from San Francisco. Vice
President Goddard of the Atchison
Topeka s. SaEsa Fe railroad company
testified that the rates charged by his
road was not a discrimination against
the complainant, that the rate TO the
Missouri river was the sum OF
the rates by water to Missouri river
points in favor of which the complain
ants testified they were Disseminated
against. The rate was not made over
land from San Francisco to Humboldt.
therefore though that city was nearer
San francisco than were Missouri
river points there was no discrimina-
tion.
A. B. Spreckles. son of the sugar
king. tesGified that the rate now by
rail and water on refined sugar was so
high that If IL should be increased it
would ruin the refineFies on the coast.
It would be necessary for the Pacific
coast refineTies TO ship the raw mater
iaI to New York and refine it there
The rate TO Humboldt, If adjusted at
all. would have to be raised from San
Francisco TO New York and not low
cred from the Missoari river to Hum
bOidt, If the Interstate commerce act
were not TO be violated.
The 5tatistican OF the Santa Fe tes
titled that tbs cost of hauling sugar
from San Francisco to the Missouri
river was "a mills per ton per mile
while the charge was lilo per ton per
mile. The profit was very small and
could not be conveniently Iessened.
Recess was then taken.

Will Open.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 24.-Congress-
man Springer of Illinois, Baker of
New York, Mansur of Missouri, and
Allen of Mississippi, arrived from the
Indian Territory last night. Besides
the above named there were in the
party. Congressman Perkins and Pc
tiers of Kansas and Rogers of Arkan-
sas. They are unanimously of the
opinion that the Cherokee, patent of
the strip is only an easement, and by
no means fee simple. They say that
the Cherokees have abandoned it by
turning it over to cattle syndicates,
and that consequently it must and will
revert to the government. One of the
earliest duties of congress, they say,
will be to open it to white settlement.
A discussion of the Cherokee strip
question with the Cherokees at Vinta,
proves conclusiyely that they have no
intention of parting with the strip vol
UNFAIRLY. The committee faVorS action
upon the Oklahoma territorial govern
ment matter as soon as congress shall
meet. They want the homesteaders to
have title after eighteen months set
Element, instead of five years as at
present. After that presumption law
will also be recommended. The COM
mittee believes that the cities and
towns should be secured in their titles
to city lots as soon as possible, that
other towns outside of Oklahoma, such
as Muskogee and Purcell should be
given TOWNSHIP privileges. and that the
citizens should be allowed to negotiate
for city lots and hold them in fee sim
pie. Mr.. Springer said that this mat
ter would receive his earliest attention.
In conclusion, the delegation is of the
opinion that the opening of millions of
acres of land next spring, the build
ing of the railroads now in contempla-
ton, and the ciyilizing influence will
make of the Indian Territory q grand
state of the union at no distant date.

A Better showing for France

NEW YORK, Sept. PA London
special to the Times says: The full
reports received yesterday make an
even better showing for the French re-
public than seemed possible Sunday
night. These indicate that there will
be a slightly smaller republican major
ity than in the last chamber, but it
will be vastly more compact and less
open to fractional foolishness AMI in
trigue. For the first time since Fer
ry's ministry went under, it seems now
possible to have a majority in the
chamber which will be actually as well
as nominally republican, and which
will prefer France to faction. Gen
eral Boulanger's failure is complete.
He may have forty members in the
new chamber. nominally elected as his
followers, but they will be worse than
useless as an independent body, and as
they can get no terms whatever from
the Toyalists, and as Boulanger must
cease to exist as Political entity, they
will gradually melt away. Neither
Boulanger nor Rochefort would be ad-
mitted to the new chamber, even if
they were elected in the villages,
which is unlikely.
