NO SUNDAY MIDWAY SHOWS.
Attempt to Open Them at Buffalo a
Failure.

Buffalo, July 2S.-The attempt of the
Midway shows to open for business to-
day was somewhat of a failure. The
first show to announce that 1T was
ready for business was the Indian con-
gress In front of the concession We're
two of the directors of the exposition
and their attorneys. Captain Damar,
of the exposition police force, notified
them to close, which they did under pro-
test, stenographer taking notes of the
conversation between the concession
aires and the police captain
Later another attempt was made to
open the show. Iron pipes were driven
into the asphalt pavement by two la
borers in the employ of the police de-
partment. From the pipes a rope was
stretched in the form of a square, which
completely blocked the entrance. The
concessionaires then ordered the ticket
sellers to desist and the incident closed.
Several other shows opened their doors
for a few minutes but We're closed by
the police. Further developments are
expected this week.

the land office OF FL Reno of his inton-
ton to file upon the quarter section, of
land adjoining the town site Of I,awton

ton OF United States law passed in
1887 which gives every homeless Indian
the right to go to any part of the pub
lie domain and to make entry for any
tract of land that is not in possession
Of a homesteader. The section has
never been repealed.
With Keo Tuck were sixty members

cured possession of homestead tracts
1t is believed there are 500 in the two

ROW IN Il SYNAGOG UE.
People Almost Come to Blows Appear
ance of Police Makes Trouble.

The members of the Congregation
B'nai Abraham had lively time last
night in their place of worship on Fac
tory street. A meeting was called for
the purpose of devising a way to raise
money to liquidate the debt connected
with the congregation, and accordingly
there was a large gathering when the
meeting was called to order by the pres
ident of the congregation. Things went
along smoothly for few minutes and
soon it began to be evident that there
were two factions and that each was
and had been working against the 9TH
er for a time. When this was so plain
that there could be no mistake about it
the leaders Of the two factions began
raising their voices. Policemen Ledwith
and McManus just dropped in to see
what was doing, and their appearance
was the signal for more noise. One
side accused the other of ringing in the
police and for time it looked as
though there would be fistic encoun-
ter. The appearance of the police final
ly Gained the meeting, which ended
with the debt still hanging over the
congregation.

WILL RACE AGAIN TO-DAY
COL UMBIA AND CONSTITUTION TO
COMPETE FOR ASTOR CUP.
The Last Racing Event of This Cruise
of the New York Yacht Club-Largc
List of Boats Entcred-Elmfna and
Qutssetta Also to Meet Again-Owners
change Compliments.

Newport, r. /, July 2S.-The last rae
ing event Of this years cruise of the
New York Yacht club will be sailed to-
morrow, when the flyers Of the fleet
will compete in the annual contest for
the Astor cups. This race has long
been one of the principal features of
the cruise, having been founded by the
late Ogden Goelet, over twenty years
ago, and continued since his death by
Colonel John Jacob Astor, Mr.. Goelet
having offered two valuable cups for
schooners and sioops and Colonel Astor
duplicating them each year. Every cup
defender since the days Of the Puritan
in 1885 has competed in the sloop class
and all have won with the exception of
the Defender in 1895, which was dis
abled within four miles of finish
when miles ahead.
Up to the present year a $1,000 cup
has always been given in the schooner
class and $500 cup for sloops. But
tomorrow the value of these prizes will
be reversed, the largest of the cups 60
ing to the sloops, cutters and yawls,
While the smaller cup is offered to
schuoners. The reason for this change
is that for the past few years the
schooner fleets have been constantly
diminishing the interest being almost
entirely with the sloops. For to-mor-
rows race fifteen sloops and yawls
have entered while only three schooners
will probably start in that class. AS
the sloop and yawl class includes be-
side the Constitution and Columbia,
three yawls and five cutters the owners
of these two latter class of rugged ves-
sells have arranged private prizes
among themselves, believing they will
have little show with the two defenders.
The owners of the yawls, Vigilant,
Ailsa and Nayahoe, have, therefore
subscribed for cups for the English
built cutters, the Hester, the Aelin. the
Isolde, the Caress and the Senta, while
