LINDSAY TO HIS DEFENSE.
PETITION FROM PENSIONERS
Proceedings In the Senate and
House Yssterday-The Silver
Debate-The Battle Over
the Tucker Bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The speech Of
Senator Lindsay OF Kentucky and his de-
Tense OF Secretary Carlisle, whose sue
cessor In the senate he In, was received
most attentively. Tomorrow eulogies
will be delivered upon the late Senator
Stanford OF California. Among the peti.
tions presented to-day was ono by Cullom
OF Illinois from ex-soldiers who are resi-.
dents of his state, alleging that they are
beset by detectives of the government
travelling in disguise, secretly cooperating
with those who have been distinguished
for their antipathy to those who fought
for the flag. 1t % alleged that the spies
with friendly pretenses visit the homes Of
pensioners and with the basest hypocrisy
and fawning deception seek to find some
clew to furnish to the pension Office to
deprive old veterans of their pensions.
The petitioners ask protection from the
methods Of government officials who at.
tempt to brand pensioners rs perjurers
and criminals without the right of being
heard In their own defense. Cullom said
the petition contained very serious allega-
tions which, If true, should be brought to
light.
Manderson, republican of Nebraska.
submitted resolution which went over
until tomorrow, asking information from
the interior department as to the aboli-
tion or consolidation Of land Offices in
Nebraska. Other states were included ut
the suggestion Of different senators. Man.
derson said II the Offices were abolished
or consolidated In Nebraska it had been
done without consultation with the con.
gressional delegation from that state.
Tho senate this morning resumed con.
sideration of the repeal bill. Lindsay Of
Kentucky, democrat, addressed the senate
in support Of the bill. In beginning his
speech Lindsay called attention to the
fact that the bill now under consideration
contains not word looking to the discon-
tinuance OF silver coinage under existing
laws and leaves umimpaired the pro-
visions Of the oct of 1880 for the coinage
OF silver In tho future. He characterized
as most extraordinary the position OF
those who say that we ought not, bad as
known what further legislation in
the interest of silver the president
will propose. He said he had read tho
presidents message in vain to find tho
evidence upon which Senator Pugh rests
the belief that the president does not in
tend to keep faith with the party and tho
people. Lindsay then took up the charge
of Inconsistency so frequently made Of
late against Secretary Carlisle and de-
Tended him at length against the accusa-
tions.
At the conclusion of Lindsay's speech
Morgan, democrat, OF Alabama spoke in
opposition to repeal, and was TO llowed by
Higgins, republican, Of Delaware in favor
of repeal. Higgins said that In his opin-
ion the remedy was to stop the purchase
of silver and see whether such action,
coupled with that of India, would not
compel England and Europe to resume
the FREQ coinage Of silver. At the con-
clusion of Higgins speech, the senate,
after short executive session, adjourned.

Provoked Because the Committee Won
Establish Means OF Identification.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 15.-The meeting
under the auspices of the anti-Chinese
league was largely attended here last
night. Some of the speeches were intem-
perate. President Cleveland was de-
nounced. Many radical resolutions were
passed, one demanding the impeachment
of the president. A memorial 10 congress
demanding funds to enforce the Geary
law, and q protest against the extension
of time of registration were passed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-The action OF
the subcommittee on foreign affairs last
night in refusing TO accept Geary's amend
ment providing for absolute means OF
Identification by photographing or other
wise, in order to prevent the use OF Chi
nese register certificates by others, re-
suited in the decision by the Pacific coast
members, led by Geary and White, to
fight the bill. tooth and nail. II appears
that although this Identification provision
is not deemed essential to the Everett bill
for the extension of the time Of registra-
ton, it is the underlying and private rea-
son for the determination to fight an OK.
tension measure. As the fear 10 that the
new law would be again carried to the SUI
preme court, this would reopen the whole
question and might result In decision by
the supreme court that the Geary law is
unconstitutional. The decision by which
its constitutionality was upheld was only
rendered by q majority OF one In tho su.
preme court, Justice Harlow being absent.
He is now here, and IL is feared that in
case the matter should again como before
the court the former decision would be re.
versed. Geary declares that while ii may
be impossible to defeat the Everett bill in
the house, in case tho committee on rules
brings in an order. it can be defeated i'm
the senate.

IN THE HOUSE.



still On.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The republic
cans continued the deadlock in the affairs
of the house to-day in order to prevent
Tucker from reporting the bill repeating
the federal election laws of the house.
They are determined that the bill shall
not receive q place on the calendar until
the democrats produce a quorum. In the
policy of delay they were again joined by
General Tracey and coterie OF adminis-
tration democrats who opposed going
ahead with the Tucker bill at this
time. Revoking all leaves OF alb
sence by order yesterday bore fruit
to tho extent Of 10 additional democrats
to-day, but leaving. them still 81 short OF a
quorum, exclusive Of those who are acting
with General Tracey. The republicans
again fllibustered. Burrows renewed his
motion to dispense with the call of COM
mittees In order to prevent the bill from
being reported. A roll call was ordered.
Reed walked up and down the aislcs
shaking his head; the republicans obcyed
their leader and refrained from voting.
The administration democrats fed to the
cloak room 10 avoid answering to their
names.
The vote resulted; yeas, 1; nays, ti6;
no quorum. 1t developed u gain OF 40
votes for the democrats, leaving them
81 short OF a quorum. A
call OF the house was ordered.
The call developed the presence OF 237
members. The filibuster lasted until ,
O'Clock, when by previous order the house
eulogies on the late Representative Chip
man Of Michigan were delivered. The
house thcn adjourned.
Mr.. Tucker and his colleagues hardly
expect to be able to muster n quorum to-
morrow, and on Monday the house will
participate in body In the ceremonies
attending the centennial celebration of
the laying Of the corner stone of the capi-
tol. On Tuesday. however. they conf
dcntly anticipate the presence OF their
own quorum and then they will be able to
brush aside the opposition of republicans.

THIS Is THE DAY.

Muititudes waiting for the Cherokee
strip tn BE Thrown Open.
ARKANSAS CRY, Kas., Sept. l6.-At
noon Tomorrow the Cherokee strip passes
from the government to homescekers.
Thanks to the relief afforded by the in
terror department, there is now every
prospect that all will obtain certificates.
There has becn steady exodus to-day
and tonight of certificate holding home
seekers from towns and camps to con-
venient places along the border, from
whence an advantageous start can be
made. Farmers have about all secured
certificates and have loaded their prairie
schooners and moved on with their fami-
lies. Spectators, townsiters and gam.
blers still remain In tho tow ms and will go
on to-morrow's railway trains. The Santa
Fe will run six trains for boomers. Three
will start from this side OF the line and
three from the Oklahoma side. On tho
kiowa line one train will be run In each
direction. The Rock Island will run six
trains, three south from Caldwell and
three north from Hennessy, Oklahoma.
These trains will be run under the super
vision of the interior department mt .
Most men seeking homestead claims will

the race are estimated at 1900 Twenty.
five thousand will go from Arkansas City
aud vicinity, 1000 from Caldwell. 5000
from Kiowa, 1900 from Hunncwell, 1900
from Orlando, 5000 from Saltwater and
5000 from other points. Half OF the
homeseekers, IL is estimated, have fami-
lies and the population of the strip to-
morrow night will he mt least 10000.
The booth in town was besiegcd all day.
Double lines were formed. each contain
ing at least 5000 people. At o'clock this
evening about 5000 certificates had been
issued, but the lines still contained fully
an equal number OF people. The booth
will be kept open all night. The estab-
lishment OF this booth i'm town has un-
doubtedly been the means of saving many
lives to-day. as il was comparatively shell
tered and people had an opportunity OF
getting water and food, which they could
not do out ut other booths. One conse-
quence Of it's establishment was that the
largest proportion of the people at the
outside booths abandoned them and made
a grand rush for town, leaving only about
5000 mt the booths on the border. People
applied for registration during the day.
and at G o'clock only about 500 were in
line there.

day aud about 1.0)) certificates had been
issued when word came from Washington
that the booth must be removed to Or

CHICAGO, Sept. l5.--1he stallion trotting
record broken to 2:o61. the worlds pacing
record OF 2:H equalled, and four heats
desperately fought from wire to wire I'm
the greatest race trotted this year. was tho
sport witnessed by 1900 people al WASH
ington park to-day. The day was not one
for speed. the wind blowing fiercely In the
horses faces all the way down the homo
stretch. Before Directum was brought
out II was announced that owing to the
high wind, he would be sent against his
own record OF 2:o7, instead of Nancy
Hanks record Of 2:0i. it being conceded
that to equal the latter time on such q day
would be an impossibility. Directum
made the first quarter in 0:33, reached the
half in l:03, and the three-quarters in
1 :3i4. Turning into the home stretch he
met the full force of strong wind, but
came to the wire In 2:06E.
II was almost dark before Flying Jib
was brought out. 1t had been the inten-
ton to send him against the pacing re-
cord of Mascot, but on account of the
wind It was decided to send him against
his own record OF 2:o5E. He made tho
quarter in 32ti, half in :02M, three-quar-
ters ia 80, aud mile in 2:0i. Monroe
Salisbury of California, who owns both
Directum and Flying Jib, was apparently
the happiest man ON earth.

all and il is still unfinished. Nulda, who
was injured yesterday, was drawn aud it
