Homeseekers Are Desperate.

GUTHRIE, O. T. Sept. l5.-Nine thou. sand people were in line at Orlando wait ing to be registered. The clerks are worn out, and it will be impossible to complete the registration by Saturday noon. Int agents of the interior department are at their wits ends and frantically telegraph ing to Washington for some way out of the difficulty, while the people are growing desperate, and riot is imminent all along the line.
 If the government does not provide a force large enough to register all before to- morrow night, the people will sweep away the booths on Saturday and enter the striT with a mighty rush, sweeping the few sol diers and government agents before them.
 The people have made an effort to com ply with the law, but the government, after putting them to great trouble and expense. has siCnallv failed O'make even decent effort al accommodating he waiting thou sands, and men in line swear they will havt homes whether they get registered or not, and the first officer who attempts to eject or molest them will be shot. The interior department is directly responsible for un told suffering. A score of deaths and great number of murders will follow as q result of the hunGling manner in which things are being managed

 Puts to Sea, and There May He a Naval
 Duel-Students Revolt
 BUENos AYREs, Sept. t5.-The rebel fleet, under Custotio Jose Mello, fulfilled his threat and opened fire on the forts near Nictheroy commanding the entrance to Rio Janeiro. After bombartling the forts the guns of the hostile fleet, the Aquidat an, the Republica and the Ira janO, were turned on the city. The arsenal was apparently the main point of attack, and many shells were thrown at it.
 The bombardment of the city of kio lasted from II o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but little dam age was caused. The ships opened fire on the city again yesterday, but the result was the same as that of the first attack.
 A message sent from President Peixoto to the Brazilian minister here states that it is expected that the rebel ships will sur render in a few days. Brazilian residents here, however, douht this. Surprise is ex- pressed here that the foreign fleet in the harbOr would permit the bombardment of the city. From other sources it is learned that the city is quiet. Brazilian consuls here and in Montevideo dispatch vessels freely for Brazilian ports Their opera tions after arriving at Rio are carried on under the protection of warships of the nationality of the flags they fly
 The interCliction on clearing vessels for Brazil applies only to those under the Bra gillian flag.
 Photographic service is still suspended. It is reported that perfect order was main tained in the city during the bombardmcnt. There was much enthusiasm manifested by PeixotO's forces who still remain loyal to him.

Need Looking After.

A certain class of peddlars in this city
should be called down. One of them
went to house on Salem street, and
walked in without knocking. A lady
was the only one in the room, and as he
evidently thought in the house, and SO
he insisted that she should make pur-
chase of him. She told him that she did
not need anything he had, and hessreplied
that she must buy, or take the conse-
ounces. His threats alarmed her less
than they would had she not know d
that her husband was in the next room.
He slipped around, and got behind the
peddlar and as that individual was fierce-
~ insisting that he would not leave the
house unless the wife paid him some
money he found himself in the grasp of
the husband, was kicked out of doors
and his basket flung after him. Had a
patrolman been in sight he would also
have been arrested. ~ Hsa

THE FLOOR SETTLED.
Weakness in the Library in the Extension
of the State Capitol.

About two months ago it was discov-
cred that the floor of the State Library
over the adjutant generals office in the
extension of the State House at Augusta
was settling under the weight of the
books upon it. The floor settled about
an inch and a half in the centre, a kind
of concavity being formed. The floor
is supported by iron girders 80 feet in
length and four feet apart Between the
Orders is placed the fire-proof flooring,
which is. nine inches in thickness, and
consists of tile with cement at top and
bottom. When the quarters of the libra
ry were changed into the new part, about
80 tons of books were shelved, resting
upon the floor in question, which. to-
gether with the weight of the fire-proof
flooring, caused the girders to buckle
and the floor to settle. The matter was
reported to the Governor and Council,
and by their direction Librarian Carver
removed enough of the books to relieve
the strain upon the floor. Then Mr. F.
H. Fassett, the architect, was called in.
MI. Fassett made an examination, and
has now reported the result to the Gov
ernor and Council. Mr.. Fassett found
the weight on the floor to have been sew
erai tons in excess of what it should
bear. He suggested two plans for
strengthening it, one by the use Of iron
columns extending from the basement
through the adjutant generals Office to
the floor above; the other by insel ting a
truss under the floor, thus doing away
abs office. The committee on public
buildings will decide upon one of these
methods, it being understood that the
work will be done at once under MI.
Fassett's direction.
