SETTLERS SRORN IN.
Opening of the New Oklahoma Tract
Three Claimants for EYerY Sertinn.


GUTHRIE, o. Y, Sept. 22.-The land
is yours. That is what every time piece
on the border of the lands opened to
settlement to-day proclaimed when its
hands pointed to the hour Of noon.
Simultaneous with the arrival Of that
hour the home seekers gathered on the
border, made headlong rush over the
line into the coveted country and on to
the quarter sections, upon which their
eyes had been feasting days and weeks
and months. The rush was mad one,
and was made so by the fact that the
number Of home seekers greatly ex-
ceeded the number of quarter sections
available for settlement
First there first served, was the motto
of every racer. There was room in the
new lands for about 5000 settlers giving
100 acres to each, but there were on the
border waiting to claim the available
land fully 10000 people so that there
were three persons for each section. II
was no wonder then that the rush was
mad one for in this case at least the race
was invariablc to the swift. Like scenes
have never been witnessed before ex-
cept when Oklahoma was thrown open.
MAY FIGHT NEGRO CLAIMANTS.
ST. Louis, Sept, GA dispatch from
Galveston says "All the north bound
trains on the Santa Fe have been
crowded with negroes for three DAYS
past en- route to Oklahoma for the pur.
pose Of making grand rush to the In.
dian lands. Parties coming in from
that country report much bitterness
amongst negro boomers and grave fear:
are entertained that serious trouble will
shortly follow if the negroes persist in
locating claims"

been prolonged by the news Of the sui
eide. The feasts, illuminations and
other celebrations in honor Of the sue

been followed by the marching Of fren-

shouting songs of triumph over the
death Of their former ruler.
IT WILL HASTEN THE ERA OF PEACE.
It is the general belief that Balma-
ceda's death will hasten, in great de-
gree, the restoration of peace through
out Chill. Now, that the chief enemy
of the victorious Junta is no more, it is
likely that his followers will be shown
mercy, since without Balmaceda to di-
rect them they are very little to be
feared.
Italy, France, Sweden and Norway
have followed the lead of the United
States in official recognition of the
Junta. Germany, 1t will be remembered,
was the second nation to do SO. No
official recognition has yet come from
England. This creates considerable
comment.
As the Herelds representative, i alone,
of all the newspaper men in this city OF
Santiago, was able to get copy OF
Balmaceda's interesting statement, IRE.

defatigable efforts of Minister Egan that

Twelve Girls Go ON strike at Rockland
Paper Mills

Twelve girls employed in the cutting
department of the Rocklnnd paper mills
went on strike on Saturday over the en-
ployment of boys in the mills and since
that time but two Of them have re-
turned to work. Mr.. Luke, superinten-
dent of the mills, was called up this
morning and asked concerning the pro-
gress of the strike. He stated that the
story published that money matters
caused the strike was groundless.
"'rhe girls came to the office at 8
O'Clock on Saturday," Mr.. Luke con-
tinucd, land said that they would work
no longer in the mills unless different
arrangements were made. We learned
that the reason for their action was that
they objected to the employment of two
boys which we engaged to operate
a new machine which we recently
put in to make roll paper. 1t is
necessary for the boys 10 get down
under the machine to adjust the paper,
and it was our belief that boys could do
this work with more safety and much
easier than the girls. 1suppose the girls
thought the boys were going to supplant
them in the work, and raised the obiec-
ton on Saturday Two of the girls
have returned to work. Tho rest have
not, nor do know whether they may
vet return to work y

cinl Bond.

PEI the Levy court TO SATISFY his uih-
cial Bond.
In the superior court, on Tuesday
Benjamin Nields, counsel for John A.
Cranston and Charles NJ. Groome, two
of the sureties of George w. Mckee,
collector Of county taxes for the South
ern district of Wilmington, presented a
petition from them in relation to McKee's
settlement with the Levy Court. The
petition, after setting forth, the fact of
Mckee's appointment and service as
collector, stated that on September 18th
he paid to the county treasurer the sum
OF S7,516.13, being the amount due
upon his duplicate as ascertained by the
Levy Court in March last, with interest
from June 23d. The petition further
alleged that after this payment the
county comptroller certified that Mckee
had settled in full, but that the Levy
Court refused to satisfy his official
bond
The petitioners therefore prayed the
court for peremptory mandamus,
directing the Levy Court to satisfy the
bond and the judgment thereon.
Mr.. Nields asked for the appointment
of an carly day to hear argument on a
motion for rule on the defendants to
show cause why the mandamus should
not issue.
+. G.. Bradford, counsel for the Levy
Court, suggested Thursday of next
week as the date of the argument, sub.
ject 10 the convenience of the court.
The court agreed to this date, if the
business of the term will warrant, but
declined to make the appointment posi-.
tive.

lows began here to-day. The city is
filled with Odd Fellows, there being
probably $4,000 visitors here. The OPEN

The Sovereign Grand Lodge began its

vention on account of ill health. He is
suffering from paralytic stroke, which
has confined him to his room for several
months. Deputy Grand Sire CT. I.
Campbell of London, Ont, officiated
during the session instead of the grand
sire.
Degrees were conferred on about 800
Odd Fellows. Grand Chaplain Venable
invoked the divine blessing. Deputy
Grand Sire Campbell explained tho
cause of the absence of the grand sire.
Past Grand Sire Underwood also re-
ferred touchingly to the sickness of
Grand Sire Busbee and introduced q
resolution of sympathy, which was car
ried amid cheers. The past year, the
grand sire said, had been one of grace
and blessings to Odd Fellowship. The
number of Odd Fellows initiated last
year was $4,000. The net increase in
the United States and Canada during
the past II months was $1,000. Total
membership, 672,339. Revenue for

the exposition. The visitors were well
coined by Governor Davis r. Francis,
Mayor +. A. Noonan, Samuel ]. Ken
nard, president of the exposition, and
the Rev. j. B, Jewell, grand master and
grand patriarch. The response was by
DR.. CT. I. Campbell, deputy grand sire.
The decoration of chivalry was con-
ferred by Lieutenant-general John G.
Underwood. Music was furnished by
Gilmore's Band and leading vocalists.
There will be no election of officers
at this session, as the officers are elected
foritwo-year terms. The present officials
were elected last year at the session Of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge, which was
held at Topeka, Kansas.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

No person interested in the welfare of
the country can read the Senatorial com
plications in the northern states without
wishing that the Senators were elected by
the popular vote instead of by the legisla-
lures.
The constitution provides that the legis-
lature of each state which is chosen next
preceding the expiration of the time for
which any Senator was elected to repre-
sent such state in Congress shall, on the
second Tuesday after the meeting aud or
ganization thereof, proceed to elect Sena-
tor. If an election fails to be made the first
day, at least one vote is required to be
taken every day thereafter, during the ses-
sion of the legislature until Senator is
chosen.
The election of Senators by the legisla
lures instead of by the people was the con.
cession the friends of popular government
had to make to the Federalists (Republi
cans) at the time of formulating the consti-
tuition. HENRY CABOT Lo2GE, the Trainer
of the force bill, said of HAMILTON, the hero
and founder of the Republican party, that
1.-The republic of HAMILTON was to be an
aristocratic as distinct from democratic
republic, and the power of the separate
states was to be effectually crippled. The
first object was attained by committing the
choice of the President and Senators, who
were to hold Office during good behavior, to
class of the community qualified to vote
by the possession of certain amount oil
property. The second was secured by Civ
ing to the President of the United STATES
the appointment of governors to the various
states, who were to have veto of all state
legislation"
The election of Senators by the legisia-
lures was effected as a compromise for The
first proposition of the Federalists, while
the absolute veto of the governor of Utal
is the only surviving relic of the second
proposition; and both of them should b,
abolished.
