Serious Trouble Liable to Arise On
the Day of the Opsning-Rsais-
tration Now Proceeding
More Rapidly.

ARKANSAS CITY. Kan, Sept. l4.-The
Thermometer registered 81 degrees At
noon, but the hot wind died down and In
its place came breeze from the north
west which was comparatively refreshing.
No deaths from sunstroko are reported to-
day. The action of tho interior depart-
ment in providing means to facilitate
registration In heartily commended, aud
IL Is now believed that all can be provided
with certificates before Saturday noon. A
rumor that owners of fast horses had
plotted to burn the railway bridges in the
strip 10 handicap those who propose to
make tho race in excursion trains caused
much excitement. 1t is believed that the
patrol OF troops established about the
border Is sufficient to prevent the entrance
OF all unauthorized persons and that plan,
If IL really exists, can be frustrated.
Cattlemen having ranges in the SOUTH
western country telcgraphed tho following
protest to President Cleveland this after
noon:
The undersigned cattlemen. thoroughly posted
upon the condition OF affairs here. respectfully
protest against the registration system as ear
ried on at the booths. Ten thousand people
are now In line and thousands arrive on each
train. A conflict between the parties not regis
tered and the troops Is imminent unless this
system Is abandoned. The honor OF your ad-
ministration Is being ieopardized Common
humanity demands relief for honest settlers de-
string to enter the strip but who cannot register.
At Orlando to-day more than 5000 certi-
ficates were issued and the number of peo-
pie demanding an opportunity to register
was fully 10000. Tho force OF clerks Mt
the booths there was increased again to-
day and o night force put to work. At
Caldwell q plentiful water supply near the
booths relieved the suffering men in line.
A brisk northwest wind came up this af-
ternoon and somewhat tempered the heat.
Fully 10000 people are still waiting their
opportunity to secure the precious certifl.
cate, and hundreds of people are coming
In on every Rock Island train. The num-
ber OF certificates being issued every ten
hours has reached about 5000. and il Is
believed all will be accommodated.
WASHINGTON, Sept. H.-Land Commits

the force employed at the Cherokee strip

"Under tho heavy burdens Of great

The comptroller referred to the condi-
tions prevailing when the banquet was
given him in New York in July and con-
tinued: 1T can be but source Of mu-

OUTLINED THEIR USEFULNESS.

Reasons Given In the Majority Report for
Rspesiing the Federal Election Laws.
WASHINGTON. Sept. N.-The majority
report OF the committee on the bill for re-
pealing the federal election laws declares
that the purpose and object for which
these laws we're passed have long since
passed away. Surely no officer Of the army
or navy should be left to determine when
Il Is necessary to bring troops to the polls
and tho constitution has implicitly pro-
hibited il. With reference to those laws
relating to tho appointment OF deputies
and the composition OF supervisors Of
election and deputy marsh ais, the report
goes into the constitutionality OF the laws
which were passed under warrant of tho
section in tho constitution prescribing
elections, and says the object of legisla-
ton should be TO prevent conflicts be-
tween state and federal authority. 1.-The
conditions they were designed to meet
have happily passed away, aud we feel
that they cannot he too quickly erased
from statute books. Let every trace
of reconstruction legislation be wiped
from the books. Let the states
understand that elections are in
their own hands and II there he
fraud. coercion or force, they alone will
suffer by it. Responding to the demand
for purity In elections many states have
enacted laws to protect and purify the
ballot" The report concludes that these
statutes should be speedily repealed be-
cause they mix state and federal author
ity; because they have been and will be
used as part Of ths machinery Of political
parties to forward friends and destroy en-
emies; because under them the rights of
citizens have been taken from them; be-
cause their enactment shows a distrust OF
the states and their ability to guard cleo
tions; and last because their repeal will
eliminate the judiciary from the political
arena aud restore somewhat tho cond.
dence of tho people in the integrity and
impartiality of the federal Judiciary.
The minority report, prepared by John
son of North Dakota, goes at length into
the constitutionaii;y of these laws; draws
the picture of the conditions existiny PRIOR
TO their enactment in 1869, from the re-
port prepared then by Congressman Law

DANIEL TAKES THE FLOOR.
Tho Voice OF West Virginia L. Heard In
OpposItion to the KePsal MI.

Tho Voice OF West virginia 10 Heard In
Opposition to the Repeal Bill.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 14.-In tho senate,
Faulkner, of West Virginia, offered his
amendments to the repeal bill, providing
for the free coinage of silver bullion now
IN tho treasury and monthly purchase
thereafter of enough silver to coin 5000
900 silver dollars, which together with
all the silver dollars before coined shall be
legal tenders. The repeal bill was then
taken up, and Daniel, Of West Virginia,
took the floor in opposition.
Daniel said he would attempt to demon
stratc. and he was confident that he could.
that tho worldwide monetary convulsion
was duo to three principal causes; first,
tho enormous increase OF debt; second,
the continuous and unprecedented fall in
prices for over q quarter of q century ;
third, the contemporaneous bimetallic
base ct credit ut tho dictation Of tho
European money kings. He said more
money was needed, and the repeal of the
Sherman act would have the contrary
effect. II would contract the currency by
fifty millions per annum. He favored
sound currency, every dollar of which
should be maintained ut par with every
other dollar, and that II should consist of
gold, silver and paper money payable In
them.
In 1892 Daniel said there were two
opinions In which there was general con-
currence; first. the sherman law ought to
be repealed; and, second, gold and silver
ought to be- coined without discrimina.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l4.-voorhees said
10 q representative of the associated press
to-day that he was still determined to
press the repeal bill to as carly Q consid-
Grafton as possible. 1T Is, however, nee
essary," he said. "to observe the courtesies
required by the traditions and rules OF the
senate, and really believe by showing
due regard to these points, we shall be
able TO make greater progress than u We
violated them. Senators who oppose the
bill must soon come to see that We have
been acting with exceptional liberaiity
and am surc that sort of conduct will
have its effect on them. There is un-
doubtedly scope yet left for considerable
legitimate debate aud there are no means,
il there were disposition, of pressing the
question to vote before every senator
has had an opportunity to say what he
may wish to say. We have not really con-
sumed as much time in the discussion OF
this question rs tho country seems to
think and have every reason to believe
We shall DO able to reach vote in COM
paratively short time"
When pressed to say how long the time
would be Voorhees, named two weeks as
the limit for debate, and after that. ii
speech making be continued, il would in
dicate purpose to fllibuster, and he did
not believe tactics for simple delay could
be long pursued; nor did he think there
would be any disposition among the OPP
ponents OF repeal, aside possibly from
senators of the silver producing states,
unnecessarily to consume the time OF the
senate, and those senators could not ex-
pect to continue tho contest long without
the assistance of senators from other sec.
tions of the country.
Replying TO the question as to how ho
expected to bring the matter to close,
Voorhees, said that with legitimate speech
mo king out OF the way, the question
would soon resolve itself into one OF phys.
ical endurance and he expected soon to
ask the senate to hold longer daily ses.
sions. and indeed continue them into the
night. He thought this course would bo
justified after this week and he would
move in this direction and with this spe-
cilc end in view within the next three or
four days.
Asked what he thought would bo the
disposition of the senate to compromise
ON tho line of the Faulkner amendment,
Voorhees, replied that no did not believe
there would he any amendment OF the
bill and he was OF the opinion that the sil-
vor men would show greater strength In
the vote in opposition to tho straight re-
peal bill than upon any other proposition
which would bc brought before the senate
in connection with present legislation.
