LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
Town with 10000 Inhabitants and
400 Business Houses Springs
Up Within a Night.

Fort Sill, Okla, Aug. 5.-A town of
10000 people, to be known as Lawton,
has grown up just outside the fort
limits, within night. Following the
close of the land lottery Thursday at
Ell Reno, thousands of homeseekers
who drew blanks started for the three
points picked out by the federal gov
eminent for town sites in the new
country, namely, Anadarko, Hobart
and Lawton. A majority of the people
favored Lawton, which is 25 miles in
land, and now thousands are camped
in and about the proposed town site
awaiting the sale of lots on August 6.
Already Lawton has 400 temporary
business houses, including a grocery
firm and a newspaper, and three
streets have been laid out. A national
bank has been projected. Every form
of gambling known on the frontier is
being run wide open, side by side with
fake shows of various descriptions,
and to add to the picturesque scene
thousand Comanche Indians have
pitched their tents near by.

Squirt Mt the Close.

Bateman's Point, r. l., Aug. 5.-The
Columbia beat the independence Sat-
urday by about three-quarters of a
mile, as timed from shore, over a
triangular 3O-mile course, in a fine
ten to twelve-knot breeze. While the
Columbia beat the Independence
more than three minutes in the ten
mile leg to windward, the Boston boat
gained steadily on the last leg and
sailed the last five miles so fast that
it seemed as if had the yachts had
two miles further to go the Lawson
yacht would have won. The last five
miles of the race was one of the most
exciting brushes ever seen Off New
port and made the race Saturday one
of the most interesting of the season.

Race to Yokohama Begun.

New York, Aug. 5.-Despite the de-
malls of officials of the Standard Oil
company that there is race between

try to Guido the other. The Brilliant
has nearly "a hours start of the Acme,
but when the latter vessel left port
Capt. r. S. Lawrence was confident
that he would not need an hour of
this for allowance.

brought into the city to supplant
white workmen in the Newburg mills

ton, the idle plants are now being
picketed by members of the Anal

now idle, the company having recent
ly closed down the 9, IL and 1S-inch
mills, for the announced purpose of
making repairs.
The pickets late at night found
dozen colored men asleep near the
Newburg mills. Upon being aroused
the negroes declared they had no in
tention of going to work. They were,
however, unable to give a good ac-
count of themselves. They were adj
vised that their presence might cause
trouble, and that they had better
leave the city at once. The colored
men lost no time in getting out of
town.

they have received reliable informa-
ton to the effect that an attempt
will be made by the steel corporation
to start the 9, IL and 1s-inch Newburg
mills Monday. The union men say
they will do everything possible to
prevent this, unless a settlement of
the strike shall be reached in the

TRAVELS THaGUGH THE MIDDLE WEST.
In Making Scientific Investigation of
the Crop Conditions to See If Means
Cannot BE Adopted to Lessen De-
structiveness of DrOuEhts-Be-
Iieves 1t Can BE Done.

Sioux City, Ia, Aug. 5.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, who is investigat-
ing crop conditions in the northwest,
expressed the opinion Saturday that
the situation was not quite so bad as
reported. He said:
'The real object Of my trip out here is
to make scientific investigation of the
crop conditions Of the miCdle west. BY
scientific investigation 1 do not mean an
estimate Of the financial, loss or the de-
crease of the crop product caused by the
recent drought; but want to see If some
thing cannot be done to lessen the destruc-
tiveness of droughts. I am satisfied that
by means of scientific study in the agri-
cultural sphere a way can be devised
whereby the loss to the farmer by drought
can be materially lessened. have not yet
reached a conclusion as to how this can
be done, but the results of my investiga-
lions will be given out upon my return to
Washington. I first noticed the effect of
the drought when struck Indiana. From
there west, as far as have been, the dam
age is quite perceptible. / went to Omaha
and Lincoln first that might have an
opportunity to see the condition OF the
crop in southern Iowa, as had heard that
they were hurt the worst. From what 1
have seen of the crops around Sioux City
/ think they are in much better condition
than those in the southern part of the
state. 1t is impossible for me to estimate
the extent of the loss. That will be given
out in the monthly bulletin, which will be
issued August TO- l am going from here
through Minnesota to st. Paul and prob
ably will come back again to Iowa. 1t is
possible that will visit Missouri before
return to Washington"
Secretary Wilson left for St. Paul

England'sG Crops.
London, Aug. 5.-The wheat har-

in full swing for week, and the
Mark Lane Express calculates that,
although the quality is fine, the yield
in the most important counties will
be four quarters to the acre, against
the usual five quarters. Barley, like
wise, is of good quality, but the
quantity is below the average, and
oats are thin to make a big crop.

OLD MEN SENATOR'S.

Senator Chandler is noted for doing
unique things. 1T was not strange,
therefore that in the midst of his
euloEy upon the late Representative
Clark of New Hampshire, he should go
into a dissertation on the time of life
when a man becomes unfit for public
duties.
When Mr.. Chandler entered the sem
ate in December 1877, there came with
him only five new sena tors. When he
goes out on the 4th of March, there will
be but sixteen senators who have been
in the senate longer than himself
These facts led Mr.. Chandler to recall
that the derivation of the word sen
ate" means an assembly of old men.
Notwithstanding this, i'm the senate OF
Rome, which was the greatest of all,
and where senators We're chosen for
life, there was a special law providing
that no senator after 60 should be sum-
mOned to attend the sessions.
Mr.. Chandler quoted Lecky. the his
tOrian, as saying that 'in the past CEN
turtles septuagenaran statesmen were
very rare, and in parliamentary life al
most unknown" Mr. Chandler agreed
with Lecky that when old age comes
the feeling of responsibility grows
weaker and the old judgment. caution.
elaboration, self-restraint and tlmldity
disappear.
1t SO happens that a dozen OF Mr..
Chambers colleagues who are to re-
main in the senate after he has gone
are over 20 years of age while Senators
Morgan, Pettus, Hawley, Hoar and
others are nearer so than 70. And Mr.
Chandler is only s. years old!-Wash-
