Guthrie, o. t., September 14.-Thous-
ands upon thousands of people are still
arriving daily to enter the promised land
and the situation is getting serious all
booths today, but little headway was
made and tonight the lines are longer
than ever. Tonight 500 disgusted
boomers left for their homes. Two men
died today of prostration and one old
negro who came from Georgia perished
the crowd is getting unruly and trouble
is feared. A score of people are danger
ously sick and one man has died. Fires
which started in the Pawnee reservation
yesterday have swept over large section
of country, burning all the grass and
have made on their allotments. A NUM-
Der of people are missing at Pawnee, and
it is feared some have perished in the
fires. The whole eastern half of the
strip is ON fire tonight and hundreds of
thousands of tons of hay is being con-
sumed. All the grass is burned off and
as there is no water in the streams the
settlers will suffer horribly. At Hen
messy 5000 people are in line and typhoid
fever has broken out among them by
reason of poor water. Forty persons are
dangerously sick.

DANIEL MADE a r kEE SILVER SPEECH
And Voorhees, Then Helped the Silver
Forces to Adjourn the Senate.
Washington, September 14.--In the
Senate today, Mr.. Daniel spoke in oppo-
sition to the repeal bill. He was often
asked why he opposed the repeal of the
Sherman law now, after having opposed
it's passage in 1890. His answer was this:
ais there man who, having patched
coat, would throw it away in the dead of
winter before he had got a new one?"
He was not in favor of the repeal bill.
Neither was he in favor ofagoing hatless,
shoeless, barefooted and naked out into
the winters storm. The Bland-Allison
act, Democratic measure, had been re-
pealed by the Sherman law, but the re-
peal of the Sherman law would not
restore the Bland-Allison law. He was
told that the Democratic platform said
repeal the Sherman law, and so 1t did.
But it also said repeal the MCKINLEY
law, but would Senators repeal the tariff
law and leave the treasury without
revenue He did not doubt that the re-

When the music ceased,- they would
realize that they were still far off from
rest and food.
Mr.. Daniel said thatSif the declaration

into legislative provision, he would
vote for it, and the Sherman law could
be repealed without another hour OF
debate. He went on to argue that Eng
land had an interest in destroying silver
as money He said he had supported the
President Loyalty in three campaigns, and
expected in many days of battle yet to
bear his colors and to defend his cause,
He should not pay him the tribute of the
courtier and fatterer who would say:
"Behold a brave and honest man who
has convictions, but he would show him
that an American Sentor also had his
convictions and was brave and honest
enough to be true to them. He prayed
the American Senators to deal with this
great and world wide question in great
way and to fulfil the great hopes with
which the American people returned the
Democrats to power. cloud and con-
tinued applause
Close and respectful attention was paid
to Mr.. Daniels speech The Senators
gathered around him and presented their
compliments. Mr. Teller suggested that
the Senate would not now care TO lls1eh

markable one just made. MI. voorhees,
conceded in this and the Senate, after

Especial to the Press.]

Washington, September 14.-The Dem
ocratic party at the present time has two
leaders. One sits in the White House
and is named Grover Cleveland.
The other sits in the Senate and is named
Arthur P. German. AS usual when the
honors and responsibilities of leadership
are divided, there is apt to be friction,
and that is what exists at the present
time in the Democratic party. 1t is split
wide open and the end may be disruption,
but if it is German will shed no tears, for
it will mean the effacement and extin-
guishment of Grover Cleveland once and
for all time. The pushing forward of
the bill to repeal the federal election laws
at the present time is ostensibly the work
of Henry ST. George Tucker, the young
Virginian representative, but the power
behind the throne, the man who pulls
the strings, the brains of the conspiracy
for conspiracy is on foot now--is the
astute past master of political machina-
tions, the Senator from Maryland. Mr..
German hates President Cleveland about
as cordially as one man ever hates another.
Cleveland called Congress in extra ses-
sion to repeal the Sherman law, German
has talked and insinuated compromise.
As the representative of great business
interests, and being allied with those who
are powers in the world of finance, he
has been compelled to pretend that he is
heartily in favor of repeal, but privately,
and with Democratic senators who are
silver men, he has continually suggested
that the Wilson bill should not be forced
to vote and some concession should be
made to silver.
In taking this position, Mr.. German
has a double object in view. First, as
already stated, he is bitterly opposed to
Mr.. Cleveland, and does not want to see
anything done which will rebound to the
credit of the President Secondly, and
this is where the politician comes in,
Mr.. German does not want the naked
question of repeal forced to vote. He
does not want to be compelled to go on
record as opposed to silver, and by
bringing about compromise he will not
only strengthen himself with the silver
Democrats who may be able to control
votes in the next national convention,
but he will also be regarded as friend
of silver, while with business men and
repealers he will convey the impression
that he is as sound on the financial ques-
tion as Cleveland himself That is why
Mr.. Henry ST. George Tucker has intro
duced the bill to repeal the federal cleo
ton laws. 1t will tend to vastly compli-
cate matters, and to give the silver men in
both houses chance to make trades
with the Republicans. If the Republi-
cans will not press the repeal bill the sill
yer Democrats will not press the passage
of federal election laws. It is cunning
scheme, and well worthy of man of
Gorman's calibre, but it will not work?

KING CORN.
The various Uses TO which the Cereal Is
Being Put.

Listen to the praise of King Corn: We
have all heard, says Col. Clement F.
Carter, in the Globe Democrat, "of how
corn is used under certain conditions for
fuel. and believe that the time is COM
inc when the people will be able to live
almost exclusively on corn and corn pro-
ducts The latest triumph in this dlrec-
ton that has come to my notice is moth
inc less than the manufacture of imlta-
ton maple syrup and sugar fromcorn
cobs. When corn is raised in large quau-
titles. the cobs are looked on as nui-
sance, and l imagine they could be
bought by the car load at very small
price. If, however, the latest develop
ment becomes a success, the figure is
likely to rise rapidly. 1t has been found
that after the cobs have been boiled long
enough a liquid is obtained which, 10y
adding a very small portion OF sugar, be-
comes almost as palatable as maple
syrup, and which can be evaporated into
som 7thing which would pass as very
average maple sugar. With corn capable
of producing bread, starch, oil, sugar
and dnzen other articles, the idea of its
being sold under any conditions as low
as 20 cents a bushel seems idiotic. L
ought to be worth almost its weight il
gold"

Last Saturday morning the citizens OF
Brooklyn who CHANGED to be walking
along Fulton avenue saw a honifying
spectacle.
Above them, on the top of a tower
wagon, was a lineman literally roasting
alive. The poor fellow had comein con-
tact with live trolley wire. A lurid
flame Illuminated his face, leaping forth
from his mouth, nose and ears. The
mans nose was burned to crisp; his right
cheek was eaten away, and his forehead
was consumed to the skull.
The lineman struggled to free himself
from the wire that was sizzling into his
flesh, and finally fell PROSTATE on the
wagon, with his head and shoulders en-
veloped in mass of flame.
Hundreds of spectators saw this fiery
terror twisting and squirming in his ag-
ony, and the sight was so awes6me that
they were rooted to the spot, unable TO
lift hand Somebody cut the wire and
the half-roasted victim was rescued.
1t is hard to believe, but the doctors
say that he will recover. The mans
almost superhuman nerve, his love of life
and his wonderful will power seem to be
pulling him through. He will always be
a shattered wreck, horribly disfgured
with scars that make him a hideous mon
ster, but he will live. The case is almost
without parallel.
