Affairs at Pekin.

Washington, July 30.-Mr. Rockhill
has reported to the state department
that the negotiation in Pekin will close
within two weeks with a signatory
protocol by all of the powers.
The Russian government has signi-
fed its intention of not further press
ing the question at present of the
eventual increase OF the import GUS
toms duties beyond per cent (the
present figure). 1t is agreed that in
case the revenues of China are not
sufficient for the payment of interest
and principal the powers are to ex-
.nline the revenues and determine
what changes are necessary in order
to supply the deficiency. The imperial
maritime customs are to be included
in this arrangement.
The British minister is satisfied
with this arrangement, and the whole
question of financial measures is
therefore settled. The 100000, 900
taels, constituting the indemnity, are
to be converted into gold at the equiv
alent of the tael value on the LIST of
last April. In case the import duties
are subsequently increased the free
list will have to be abolished, except
for cereals; but it is understood that
compensation will in that case be
asked for, probably the financial par
ticipation of China in even the water
approaches of Shanghai and Tientsin.
All the principal points of the nego
tiations are now settled, and it is ex
pected that the results will be sum
married. in the final protocol within
two weeks. and that all the powers
will become signatories.
In connection with the indemnity
payments question has arisel
whether the United States govern
ment will take its share to be ISSUED
hv China in American gold or il
pounds sterling. The disposition o
is government is TO take the bond
in the form that will be the least in
, convenient to the Chinese govern
ment, and in the interest of uniform
: ity it is probable that the payment
: will be paid in pounds sterling.

To Succeed Lord Kitchener.

New York, July ga dispatch from
London says:
1t is freely rumored that General Lyt-
Teton will succeed Lord Kitchener as
commander in chief of the British forces
in South Africa. General Kitchener, it
may be assumed, will not be recalled
until the end of the war is at last in
sight, so Lyttletons task will be passive
and administrative more than belligerent.
General Lyttleton did good work under
General Butler in the early days of the
war, but Forester-Walker and Methuen
are senior to him. Neither of these men
is, however, likely to be appointed, and
it must be said in favor of the choice of
Lyttleton that he has distinguished him
self in civil life.

UNCLE SANS LAND LOTTERY
ONE IN EVERY THIRTEEN WINS.
I<iovya-ComaDche reservations to BE
Cut Up Into Prizes and Given to
the Lucky Owners of the Names

FL Reno, o. T., July 30.-One of the
greatest lotteries in history-that con-
Quoted by the federal government in dis
posing of $4,000 quarter section claims in
the Kiowa-C omache reservations-wa
begun here Monday morning. No public
event in years in the southwest has at
tracted so much attention as this one
the initiation of a new method of dispos-
ing of government lands. One hundred
and sixty seven thousand persons, each
with | chance in IL of winning home
stead watched the event here in reality
or at a distance, for the applicants come
from every state in the Union.
The drawing took place on a platform
built for the purpose in the open air
few blocks from the center of El Reno
Situated at the foot of several small hills,
which formed a perfect amphitheater, the
platform was the cynosure of thousands of
eyes. People occupied every inch almost
of the space around about and every
movement of the government officials ON
the small space below was watched with
the most intense interest.
Sunday was spent quietly. But as night
came on and the hour for the actual
drawing approached, men and women,
many of whom had waited patiently for
months for the morrow's event, or had
come thousands of miles at the last mo-
, ment to participate in it, became anxious.
Worn out with days of hardships and
nights of poor accommodations, they
were keyed to high tension, but withal,
thousands were cheerful and hopeful
, Every one seemed confident that his
would prove the lucky number.
Many lay down and slept on the ground
around the platform, to be sure of an
advantageous position when the first
number should be called, or to remain
perhaps until evening, when the last OF
the 1000 envelopes to be drawn today
, should have been picked from the wheels
of fortune The first break of dawr
= found every one on the alert and NOV
! ing with a common impulse toward thu
- all important point.

Kansas City, July 9O-A special to
the Star from Oklahoma City, o. T., says:
Minerva McClintock, aged % years, OF
Oklahoma City, drew claim No. in the
Lawton district at Ell Reno. She was
married here Sunday, and by this act has
forfeited her right to make homestead
entry. Her chance, it is estimated, would
have been worth $4,000 She might
have chosen claim near county seat
town.

How it Was Conducted.

All had been in readiness for hours.
The government clerks finished the task
of placing the envelopes of the applicants
in envelopes and of tying them in
bundles ready to be placed in the wheels.
The only detail that remained was the
selection of the 10 persons who should per-
form the actual drawing of the envelopes
within the oblong receptacles. They were
young boys of good families and were
named at the last moment. They were all
under age and persons who have not reg
istered for claims.
The day opened cloudy but pleasant,
with indications of fair weather for the
first nine hours of the drawing.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1901-08-02

The placing of the envelopes into the
wheels proved slow work and the actual
drawing was delayed over two hours.
The first envelope taken from the wheel
contained the name of James r. Wood
of Weatherford, o. r., who had registered
for homestead in the Lawton district.
Matte NJ Beals of Wichita, Kan,
whose birthplace is Missouri, drew No.
2. also in the Lawton district
The multitude went frantic over the an
pouncement, but became quiet instantly,
and listened intently to hear the names
of the other fortunates.
Without doubt Wood and Miss Bealsi
who have the right to make the first
filings, will select the two quarter Sec
tions adjoining the Lawton townsite, and
which are believed to be worth $4,000
each.
When Colonel Dyer of the commission
in thunderous tones announced the wo-
mans age at %, her height the same as
that of Mr. Wood, 10000 persons shouted
in chorus: "They must get married"
