ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION.

Legislative Work Resumed by mem-
 bers of the Supreme Grand Lodge
 The Canton Drill for Prizes.
 ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.-The supreme grand lodge of Odd Fellows reconvened at Mason ic hall this morning and resumed legisla- tive work. The most vital question dis cussed was the age limitation, it being thought by large number of the order to reduce the limit of eligibility from 21 to IS years. The matter was not settled at the time recess was. taken.
 A majority of the visiting Odd Fellows went to the fair grounds this morning to witness the prize drills, which were the main features of to-day's program of en- tertainment. The weather was very hot, but the maneuvers were carried out splendidly. The drawing of lots for posi- ton in the Canton drill for the S1,OOO prize resulted as follows: First, canton No. of St. Joseph, Mo-; second, Canton Ellwood No. 33, department of Indiana; third. canton No. 8, Indianapolis; fourth, Canton Frank No. 55, Germantown, O. fifth, Canton Lincoln No. F, Joplin, Mo-. sixth, Canton Atkins No. 1, Paducah, Ky;
 seventh, Canton Occidental, Chicago. The first canton, St. Joseph, did not make a very good showing as a canton. Canton Ellwood followed and it's tactics were applauded to the echo, each maneuver being the quintessenoe of per lection. The other events on the program are as follows: $500 to the best drilled Missouri canton; $2OO stand of colors te
 the best drilled battalion, and $75 tt best drilled chevalier in sword manual
 $50 to second best; s25 to third best. l The afternoon program consisted O athletic events of all sorts in which mem
 bers of the order and Daughters of Rebecc l participated.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Messrs. s. V.
 White & Go. have sent the announcement
 of their assignment to the stock exchange.
 The company say that their assignment is
 due to the corner in the corn deal, and their interest in the stock or bond market is very limited. The firm has been for years one of the most prominent on the New York stock exchange. s. V. White

 market took the stock with scarcely a tremor. Put and call holders who held privileges from s. V. White, chiefly calls, | and who went short against their options,

BALMACEDA,S DEATH.
The State Department Officially In- fOrmed-An Interview with Ex- Mayor Grace of New York.

The State Department Officially In-
 fOrmed-An Interview with Ex-
 Mayor Grace of New York.
 WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-At late hour last night Acting-Secretsry Wharton re- ceived cable dispatch from United States Minister Egan confirming the report of the suicide of ex-President Balmaceda at San tiago de Chili.
 An earlier dispatch received this morn ing was dated Santiago, September 21, and was signed by George Montt, president of the junta. It reads: "Tran guilty pre- vails." MT. Julie Foster, who is in charge of the envoy's headquarters in the absence of Pedro Montt, is of opinion that this dis patch refers to the condition of. affairs in Chili after the death of Balmaceda, and | that the reason why MT. Montt makes no mention of the tragedy is because he as- sumed that it is already well known. NEW YORK, Sept. t..22.-Ex-Mayor Grace does not agree with Ricardo L. Trumbull, | the Chillian senator now in this city, in | the statement attributed to the latter that Balmaceda was shut up to choice be- tween suicide and being lynched. Said MT. Grace:
 ,"Balmaceda could, in all probability, have remained in concealment at the Ar genuine legation in Santiago for several months-until, in fact, the present excite ment and the personal bitterness towards him had somewhat abated. Then he might have escaped out of the country. But he had not the moral courage to wait so long. That he had good reason to fear the ven geance of the mob, if he should fall into it's hands, cannot be doubted. There is no question whatever that he perpetrated many barbarities
 'T join MT. Trumbull," continued Mir. Grace, "in refusing to believe the reports that the property of Balmaceda's followers has been confscated. AS MT. Trumbull says, the Chilian constitution expressly forbids the confscation of property, and even Balmaceda, in the height of his des- potic sway, never attempted anything more in that line than an embargo on property.
 q also think with Mir. Trumbull that the festivities of the Chilians at the time of Balmaceda's death were not in conse- quence of that event, but were a continu-
 ance of their celebration of September IS,
 which is their independence day, and is
 observed as we do the 4th of July, except
 that their celebration goes on for several |, | days"

Manchester is Happy,

MANCHESTER, Sept. 22.-The residents of this town are delighted at the prospect of the sale of the big Union mills to Harmel Brothers, wool spinners and comb CTS of Marne, near Paris, France. A town meeting was held this afternoon to see if the town will vote to exempt the whole plant for period of five years from all town taxes.
 There is no doubt but that the town will vote to exempt the taxes. The French firm is one of the largest woolen firms in France, have unlimited means and propose to start the new company with capital of $250, 1000, and expect to employ from 400 to 600 hands.

THE RUSH FOR HOMER.

An Inadequate Force Of Soldiers to
 Guard the Coveted Land-Fatal Col
 lisfen With the Boomers-The Race
 for Choice Sections.
 GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 22.-The govern ment supervision of the opening of the lands seem to have heen sadly deficient. The entire government force was composed of two companies of United States troops or two hundred men under Captains Hayes and Styles and the forces of three United States marshals numbering about 250 men. Of the latter 50 were sent to Langton to preserve the peace between cowboys and negros, fifteen were required at each of the three land offices and twenty-five at Tohee. Of the regular troops, squad of men was stationed at each of the two county seats. This left only some 300 men to patrol the borders of about 200 miles in extent. The men, however, were not stationed at reou- lar intervals. In some places there were ten and fifteen men to a mile, while at others they were stretches of five or ten miles entirely unguarded. Under these conditions it might have been expected that numbers of boomers would enter at the appointed time and they did.
 Two miles north of Tohee about 200 boomers had gathered in a secluded spot, knowing that the governments forces would be massed at the border town. They had all set their watches three hours ahead last night so that their testimony would agree if ever their claims would be con- tested. At 9 o'clock their watches ali in- dicated the noon hour and they rushed over the border and began to race for choice sections. The ''sooners' at other unguarded portions of the border were also very numerous and it is estimated from all reports that the number of set lers who entered the land before the legal time was fully 5000.
 Near Tohee a woman crossed the line be- fore the appointed time and one of the deputy marshals guarding the party ar rested her and forced her back over the line. Soon afterwards she again crossed the line prematurely and when the deputy a second time ordered her back she drew a revolver and opened fire upon him. The marshal returned the fire and shot her in the left leg, shattering the limb. MT. Rob ertson, photographer, who is just in from Langston, says: "Two negroes were killed there to-day. One of them was dead when l first reached there and the other died few moments before left"

General Prophete at the Head of a Move

General Prophete at the Head of Move
ment to Overthrow HiPpolyte.
New York, July 1.-THE World says
the Haytian revolutionists who were
exiled to Kingston met in general assem-
bly, June 80, and elected General An
SEINE Prophetic general-in-chief Of their
forces. The new commander has issued
an address to the people of Hayti, in
which, after reciting General Hippo
lyte's recent ferocities, he says the time
has come to drag from power tyrant
who has only the insanity of murder for
a virtue, and calls on his fellow-citizens
to have confidence in his policy and
support him in delivering his country.
The new commander is considered one
of the ablest soldiers Hayti ever pro-
duced. The exiles are preparing to
make an attack on the forces of Hippo
lyte, but will not be ready for some
time. Their plans are to land at or near
Jeremie on the southern coast. 1t is a
hot-bed of revolutionary sentiment.
Should General Prophete succeed in
landing his forces there, and then CO.
operating with the people of Jacmel,
who are expected to revolt, the exiles
are confident of driving Hippolyte off
the island,
