The opening to settlement of the White
Earth lands recently ceded was mada
here today and will be continued tomor-
row, when 1t Is likely that there will not
be tract left untaken The affair was
thoroughly systematized by the United
States land officers here and worked very
smoothly, the first sen entries being com-
pleted in twelve minutes. During the
past three days policemen have been on
duty In the corridors of the land office
block to prevent the men from forming
into line and waiting the hour of OPEN
ing. During last night a large number
slept on floors in office rooms opening
onto the corridors, paying we'll for tha
privilege, in order to be prompt on the
scene of action. A block of wood, letter.
press or a friends feet was all the pilL
low needed.
AT O'Clock this morning some ono
gave yell. and in less than one minute
100 men and women had gathered at the
door leading into the land office.
FOOTBALL RUSH.
Police interference was powerless to
prevent them forming into line for the
remainder of the wait and after a lively
struggle to get at the head of the line,
order was restored, the man hanging or
to the knob being Joel Fogelbe; &, Of
Fosston, and when the dust cleared three
women were seen to be n=Xt in line. one
was Miss Anna HolI of Franklin avenue,
Minneapolis. An hour later an enterpris-
ing caterer appeared on the scene with a
large coffee boiler steaming full and a;
basket of sandwiches, and he reaped a
harvest as he passed down the line.
The claimants were admitted four at a
time, and the first squad was through in
four minutes. Later the work was not
so raOid as second and third choices
had to be made where selections had
been taken by earlier comers. The total
number of filings received today was us,
the applicants numbering 16G Tomor-

CONTRACTOR May THROWN
1NTO GUATEMALAN JAlL

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 4.-When the
steamship Saltwater arrived here from
Port Barrios, Guatemala today, her Of
ficers and a number of the crew were at
once taken before a notary, where they
made statements relative to an outrage
upon an American citizen. r. H. May, an
American citizen, who once served the
government of Guatemala as the con-
tractor for the Guatemalan Northern,
was arrested at the gangway Of the
steamer at Port Barrios and thrown into
prison on the charge of attempting to
leave the republic without having paid
his debts. The animosity of the officials
of the little republic against May is prob
ably attributable to the fact that Mr.
Kenner the British umpire in the arbi-
tration Of the case Of May against the
government of Guatemala, recently rem
dered a judgment in favor of the claim
ant to the amount of $4,000 American
gold on a contract which May had with
the government to operate and improve
the railroad. The Saltwater sailed from

HAVANA'S CONVENTION.
DELEGATES HAVE THREE CONSTR
I TUrTONs TO DISCUSS.

AOA1ONS ~ 1CASCOSS'
HAVANA, Dec 4-The Cuban consti-
tutional convention resumed its sess: ops
today with an air of business. The
first business done was to defeat over
whelmingly the resolution of Gen Gual-
berto Gomez to discuss Gen. Woods ad-
dress at the opening of the convention.
This action will probably close the Incl
dent
Three complete constitutions were sub
mitted by Gen. Rivera, Senior Queseda
and the colored Gen. Morua, respectively
These viii be printed and distributed
among the delegates, who will discuss
them later
Gen. RIvera's proposed constitution
provides for a president, senate, a
house of representativ a governor for
each of the six provinces, a const tuition
al body for each province and for one
member of the house of representatives
for each 10000 inhabitants, to be elected
by popular vote. His scheme called also
for the election Of three electors in each
municipal district, whose duty it shall
be to elect a legislative body for the
province in which they reside. This leg
islative body shall elect the governor
and four members of the senate. Final
ly, the six legislatures shall meet and
choose the president, who shall be a ma
tive Cuban. Candidates for senatorial
honors must have at least incomes of
$15OO a year.
Gen. Riveras idea is to have the power
vested in the central government, and
the convention virtually pledged itself to
one state government at yesterdays ses-
sion e}-spr 20 -n~.5 ~
Senior Quesada's constitution would
centralize the government in a senate
and house of representatives elected by
the people, suffrage being restricted by
educational qualification
Gen. Morua offered for approval the
constitution of the United States, with
the exception that any one who partici-
pated in the war might be chosen presi-
dent His proposal. leaves the question
of an army and navy to be decided by
congress-
Senor Zayas offered a clause providing
that judicial body higher than the su-
preme court should be elected by popular
vote, and providing that any official de-
prived of his constitutional right should
have the right to appeal to this body.
Senor Ferrera submitted clause for
an educational franchise limitation

health has been bad, and he arranged to
make a visit to this country for neces-
sary medical treatment. Under the re-
quirements of the law of Guatemala he
made the necessary arrangements for
a power of attorney, and this docu-
ment was to be turned over to F. w.
Fuqua, who is to represents Mr. May
and stand responsible for debts of the
railroad contractor All these papers
had been secured together with pass
port from the commandant of the port,
but word was doubtless sent to the capt.
tai that May was about to leave and
the president sent orders to detain him.
AS May walked up the gangplank of the
ship an officer of the army informed Mr..
May that orders had been issued to de-
tain him. May exhibited his papers, ex-
planning that he had documents according
to the law of the land and had right to
go The officer was firm. and May was
marched off. The ship sailed and Mr..
Fuqua came as passenger. He will so

fact that in spite of the provisions Of
the state constitution regarding uni
