REGISTERING FOR FIRMS.
Thousnnds of Home-Seelxcrs i'm OhIn
 homn-Hundreds Sleep in Streets.

Fl Reno, O. T., July 10.-Following out the proclamation of President Mc- Kinley opening up to settlement by whites the 13,000 farms In the Kiowa- Comanche country the first registration of home seekers was made here and at Lawton at g o'clock. Hundreds were lined before the various registra- ton booths when darkness came to- night and tomorrow and Friday the registrations will continue until all who come shall have been given an op- portunity to file their names. The drawing by lottery will begin on July 29 and until then none of the 50,0O0 ap- plicants will know whether or not he has received a homestead.
 The lottery plan robs the opening of the exciting scenes of the opening of the Cherokee strip some ten years ago. According to the report the homeseek- CTS are well provided with money and provisions.
 Last night hundreds of people slept in the streets to maintain their places in lines which began forming yester- day at the six registration booths at Fl Reno. Many had waited on the bor- der of the new country for two years or more, The line was made up of the halt the lame, as well as the brawny frontiers man, sprawled out in the dust, The crowd before each booth elected a captain and each man and woman in line was given a number which was pinned conspicuously on his or her clothing A company member was per mitted occasionally to absent himself from line for short beathing spell and invariably his place was protected by his fellow watchers,
 As the hour of o'clock neared inter lopers tried to push in and break the numerical order of the line organiza- tion. This instantly raised bad blood, and when word was passed down the line a little later that the booth officials would not recognize the line organiza- ton, but would register the first per- sons to present themselves, there were threats of violence and rioting. Trou- ble was prevented, however, by the ear- lv announcement that the line organ ization would be respected by the gov ernment officials. Cheers and waving of hats greeted this word, and from this time forth there was no sign of disor- der. Applicants were admitted to the booth four at a time, and the filing pro- ceeded rapidly all day.

WEST STILL SCORCHING.
Hot Wave Continues Throughout-Ex-
 tending Eastward.

Washington, July 10.-The hot wave continues throughout the west and has extended eastward through the Ohio valley. The disturbance which visited the Texas coast this morning passed to the interior with decided energy and as far as reported without causing seri- ous damage. Another disturbance has persisted along the northern coast of North Carolina, and has caused north erly gales from Cape Henry to Hatter- as with rain.
 Warm weather will continue Thurs day and probably Friday in the interi- or of the country, except in the north west, where showers will probably moderate the temperature Thursday night or Friday. In the east moder- ate temperature will continue for another day with showers on the mid dle south Atlantic and gulf coasts. On the New England coast the winds will be fresh and mostly easterly, and weather generally fair.

BRYAN GROSSLY INSULIED
OHIO DEMOCRATS TURN AGAINST
 THEIR OLD LEADER.
His Picture TrampIod Under Foot in the Convent ton An Attempt to Carry It to the Platform Results In Its ne- struction.- -Bryanism Completely lg- nored Ina the Pirtform.

Columbus, O., July 10.-The democrat ic state convention here to-day had more prominent men as delegates than any convention of democrats in Ohio in many years. Following is the ticket nominated:
 Governor, James Kilbourne; 1ieuten- ant governor, Anthony Howells; judge of supreme court Joseph lilly; clerk or superior court, Harry B. Young; attor- ney-general, M. B. Mccarthy; treasur- CT, R. P Alsheimer; board of public works, James B. Holman.
 The nomination of Colonel Kilbourne was appropriately called one of "spon- taneous combustion" Howells, lilly, Alsheimer and Holman were favorites from the start. Young was sprung as surprise and nominated over Shoots, who had been such a favorite that oth- CTS would not previously enter the race for clerk of the supreme court. None of the delegates outside of Cleveland, s''N
 knew Young and he was nominated be- cause Cuyahoga wanted him. Cuyaho- ga could get anything it wanted, except the head of the ticket after the John son amendments were engrafted into the Mclean platform and that docu- ment as amended was adopted with much unanimity. The platform com pletely ignores Bryanlsm.
 One of the 21 members of the resolu- tions committee offered a minority re- port reaffirming the Kansas City platform as expressing confidence III Bryan. He received only six votes from the $50 delegates on his substitute for the preamble. few moments ar ter the platform was adopted one of those six delegates called attention tc | the fact that pictures of other demo- crats were displayed in the hall and none of Bryan as heretofore. lie started to carry small banner with Bryan's picture on 1t to the platform
 The aisles were ordered cleared. but
 the picture did not reach it's destlna-
 ton. It was trampled under and spoiled during the wild demonstrations when Kilbourne was escorted into the hall. While it was generally believed
 that the marching clubs did not know
 tbey were walking over Bryan's pie
 ture, yet there was much comment ar ter the convention that the picture was
 not treated worse than had been the old standard bearer himself by the
 committee on resolutions and the con
 vention. Members of the committee or
 resolutions said over an hour was spen
 after last midnight in efforts to strike
 the word "saleable' out of the plank
 on railway taxation and several hours
 in denouncing the Chicago and Kansas City platforms and the leader who stood on them. The platform caused
 much comment tonight over what f
 does not say, as well as over what | does say.

A. BOWERS ARRESTED
HE SUPERINTENDENT HIMSELF AT
 POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

A Warrant Charging Him With Having
 Fired the Shot Which Struck Charles
 BIaIesIee, Served Upon Him in tho
 Police Station by Detective McGrath =
 Not Locked Up but Released Undsr
 $500 Bonds Furnished by II. G. Day.
 Edward A. Bowers, from whose room at his residence it is alleged that the shot was fired last Friday night which struck Charles Blakeslee, a laborer en- ployed by Contractor Bassett, surren- dered himself at about o'clock -yester- day afternoon at police headquarters. It will be remembered that last Friday night there was some difficulty about removing from the rear of the new r.. M. c. A. building an engine which Con- tractor Bassett had been using in sink ing an artesian well. After the engine was taken in to the rear of the Y M. C. A. lot the structure was erected so that when the well was completed it was impossible to remove the engine from the Temple street side of the lot. Then the contractor attempted to re- move the engine through yard on the Grown street side of the lot Objection was made by the occupant of the resi- dence and there was considerable noise about the vicinity. It was late at night, after midnight, and people residing nearby were much disturbed by the
 noise at that time of night.
 It was while the workmen were em- ployed about the engine in moving 1t that someone fired a shot which struck Charles Blakeslee in the right wrist.
 Some of the workmen said that the shot was fired from MT. Bowers win
 down. Detectives were detailed to in- vestigate the case and warrant was issued for the arrest of MT. Bowers. It was not served however, he being
 allowed the privilege of surrendering | himself when it was convenient to him | to do so.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon MT. Bowers, accompanied by Attorney Harry G. Day, of the firm of Watrous l & Day, walked into the detectives | room in police headquarters and De- l tective McGrath served the warrant upon him, the warrant charging breach | of the peace. He was not locked up
 but MT. Day at once gave bonds in the
 amount of $500 and he was allowed to 20 on that recognizance. It is not prob- 1 able that the case will come to a hear
 ing in the city court before next week. l City Attorney Webb issued the war | al, n
 thus far and the assistant attorney IS l on duty this week it is probable that l the preliminary hearing will not take ! place until next week, when MT. Webb
 will be on duty.

Ever Growing Excess of British hh-
 ports Oyer E XpOrts.

London, July 10-At the semi-annual governor, MT. Schuster, in the custom ary review of the monetary position, remarked that he could not pretend to view the ever growing excess of British imports over exports with equanimity. The transfer of securities from this side of the Atlantic to the other had continued on an rincreasing scale, and British indebtedness to the United States for produce had apparently been settled by the transfer there of secur- ties. This movement could not contln- ue indefinitely and its ultimate influence on the London money market must De very considerable

 Fine Play for the State Championship
 New Haven Players Showing
 Second Round In Championship nnd
 Con oIatiOm Rounds To-day.
 The third annual tournament of the League of Connecticut Golf clubs opened on the beautiful links of the New Haven Country club yesterday morning shortly before o'clock and it will doubtless prove one of the most notable meeting of golfers ever held in this state. The weather was fine yes terday and the links were in the best possible condition, making it possible for the finest of golf to be played. The very best players in the state were en- tered and made their appearance among the fifty-seven who played in the qualifying round for the champion ship. With their sleeves rolled up and with no collars about their necks they went at the game at the outset with the consistency that showed there would be something doing in the record breaking line. This was more than proven before the days play came to close, when three of the contestants broke the record for the course, which is 80, one equalled it and nine made as good as S6, which is first class golr. There was a fairly good sized audi ence on the links and many of the pairs were followed over the course of eighteen holes, beginning at the club house and winding over the hills and down the valleys and ending at the club house. The number of people will swell as the tournament progresses and by this afternoon when the semi finals in the championships are played and tomorrow when the finals are played the crowd will doubtless be the largest that ever attended match in New Haven
 The qualifying round for the indi- vidual championship was the first event of the day yesterday mad this was | followed by the first round for the championship and consolation matches, wedding down the players in each to eight.
 | The play was close all the way l through and every hole was fought TOT o close was the play that nine men were tied for the sixteenth place in qualify l ing for the consolation and four were | tied for the same place in the cham
 pionship round. These ties were set tied by playing an extra hole.
 The finest golf of the day was played

BOat shoWs NO improvements "A uIe"e Start.
 Newport, R. l., July 10.-The third race between the Constitution, Colum- glorious end late this afternoon in dead calm and the thickest kind of At lantic fog. There was little time to form judgment on the relative speeds of the three boats, for in less than half an hour after the start the boats ran into the fog and at no time after that could all three be seen at one time.
 A little over an hour after the start the Constitution withdrew and came back to the city. The Columbia and Independence stood on for the outer mark which they rounded with the Co., lumbia about a mile in the lead.
 The wind, however, died down almost to calm and the leading boat could not finish in the time limit. The race was therefore off and will be sailed over tomorrow. At the time the Con- stitution withdrew she was leading the Columbia in the beat to windWard by nearly a mile and the Independence by nearly two miles.
 The feature of the day was the mag nificent navigation of Captain Charlie Barr of the Columbia. In fog so thick that it was at times impossible to see from one end of the finish line to the other, he brought his boat sure and true to the outer mark and rounded in mag nificent style Another feature was the remarkably close start. only four sec onds elapsing between the first and last boat to cross. The Independence, the last boat to cross, was only seven seconds behind the starting gun.
 Details of the Sailing.
 After an hours wait for wind, the Storm King with the committee of the Newport Yacht Racing association aboard at noon set the signals denoting the course. At 12:45 the preparatory whistle was brown, the warning signal being given five minutes later The starting whistle was blown at 12:55 and almost simultaneously with the gun, or to be accurate, three seconds after at 12:55:03 the Constitution on the starboard tack rushed over the line with all her sails including the baby iibtopsail pulling well, and made one of the best starts ever seen.

Chicago, July 10-Followers of John Alexander Dowie made an attempt to convert the citizens of Evanston To- night and failed, as on former occa- sions. They visited the place in great CT force than ever before, there being fully 200 of them, but their increased numbers only brought them a greater defeat. One half of the Dowieites are followers of ''Zion" and the remainder were members of the paid body guard which Dowie maintains
 The guards were intended to prevent any interference with the meeting, and when it commenced they formed around the DoWieites to hold back the crowd of fully 1,500 people which gath cred rapidly as soon as it was known that another Dowie meeting was in progress As on former occasions, eggs and vegetables were quickly evident in the proceedings and Dowie guards and those whom they were trying to protect were soon spattered and batter ed. The entire police force of Evans ton was called into service, and after the chief-of- police had ordered the Dowieites to withdraw and had met with a refusal he ordered his men to charge them. The police did not use their clubs and the guard held them back by sheer weight and force of numbers.
 The crowd meanwhile was growing ugly and Mayor Bates of Evanston
 seeing that unless something was done quickly people would be seriously hurt and possibly skilled ordered out fire
