APPLICATIONS FOR
LAND NOW 266,23S
Net Claims Total 3,6ol, So
There Is Disappointment in
Store for 1854
Unprecedented Rush for Loca-
tions on Reservations in
Idaho and Washington

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. S.-The grand
total of applications now reaches 1885,
23s, about 100 having arrived in .today's
mail Less than another. 100 is expected
tomorrow morning before O'Clock. The
net number of claims, according to Of
iciai figures given out tonight. is 1851,
divided as follows: Spokane reserva-
ton, Al; Occur d'Alene, 1850; Flathead,
2,4Oo Therefore 2s2,547 applicants will
be disappointed. There is a grain of
comfort, however in the intimation that
claims may be increased. Some may pre-
fer an so acre tract of choice land to
100 acres less valuable.
The total acreage in the Occur d 'Alene
lands is a little more than 100000, ex-
Guiding Indian allotments and sections
reserved by the government. A new
schedule of ailotments of the Coeur
d'Alene reservation has reached the
land office, which shows that maps here
tofore issued by private firms are great
ly at variance with what the oficial
map will show.
1t is thought there will be no further
changes and that the Indians will be
content to settle on the lands allotted
to them, though some difficulty is expe-
rienced in regard to the cutting up of
long travelled roads.
OFFERS $4,000 FOR NO. l.
A Occur d'Alene capitalist has offered
$50 600 to whoever draws the first num-
Der, but as the government regulations
prohibit any traf1c in the lands there
is no way that he can secure the land.
From heap of more than 10000 en-
/
o'clock tomorrow morning to decide the
lucky applicants for lands thrown open
to entry and settlement in the Occur
d'Alene reservation. The envelopes are
now in sealed cans at the Occur d Alene
land office.
To convince the people who will watch
the ceremony that the proceeding is
regular the cans will be cut open in the
public view and emptied on a big wood
en- platform that has been erected for
the purpose
The envelopes will be mixed with
shovels, and the selection of the first
ton of Couer d'Alene. Each envelope
as drawn will be opened by land off,
GERS and the name announced.
EXTRA NAMES TO BE DRAWN
The drawing for the F1athead reser-
vation will be done Thursday and Fri
day by Miss Christiana Donlan of
Missoula, Mont, and that for the
Spokane reservation Monday, August
16, by Miss Harriet Post OF Spokane.
After the first 100 applications for
the Couer d'Alene reservation have
been drawn by Miss Hamilton, the
other two girls will help her until
1900 have been taken, about 800 more
than the number of homesteads on the
Couer d'Alene reservation.
For the Flathead reservation about
500 applications will be drawn, and for
the Spokane reservation about $50, to
allow for improperly filled out appli-
cations and for any other irregu-
larities, and for those who fail TO ap
pear at the proper time to make sentry.

OPIUM SMOKER GIVEN
TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT
Uprising Follows When Eyes of
Chinese Are Gouged Out

VICTORIA. B. c., Aug. S.-Further
particulars brought by the steamer
Montesgle which arrived from the
orient today, concerning the Mohamme-
dan uprising in Shensi and Kansu dis
tricts state that the revolt was due to
the severe methods taken by the Chi
nese local magistrate to suppress the
opium habit. He seized one of the local
gentry who was an opium smoker and
had his eyes gouged out and his arms
taken of.
The people then rose in rebellion and
attacked the magistrate yamen killing
his son. To save himself the magi-
strate jumped into a well.
Nichihhsien was then besieged and
captured by the rebels and they have
laid siege TO other cities, holding their
own against the troops sent to oppose
them up to the time the last advices
were received in mid July.

EUROPEAN POWERS
TO PREVENT CLASH
Acute Stage Reached in Dispute
of Turkey and Greece
Concerning Crete

LONDON, Aug. S.-The acute stage
reached in the dispute between Turkey
and Greece over Crete is causing
anxiety in the European capitals such
as always accompanies any diplomatic
difficulty in that quarter. However, as
M. Iswolsky, the Russian foreign min
lister, said at Cowes last Tuesday, if
there is any awkward developments in
the situation Europe will see that no
mischievous effects result therefrom-
There is no idea that hostilities will re-
suit. On the contrary, there is every
belief that a successful settlement will
be arrived at.
From the latest reports IT appears
that Turkey had not presented any
thing in the form of an ultimatum to
Greece. but had confined itself to verbal
protests. while the four protecting
powers were making energetic repre-
sentations both to Constantinople and
Athens to secure an amicable agree
ment of the dispute.
The four powers insist that under no
circumstances will the Greek flag be
hoisted over any public building in
Crete. and the foreign consuls at Canea
have been instructed 10 impress this
upon the Cretan authorities

TAfT'S SON MEETS
CLEVfLAND'S GIRLS
Children of Two Presidents I'M
der One Roof for First Time
in Country's History
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


BOSTON, Aug. S.--For the first time
in history of the country the children
of two presidents of the United States
have been brought together under one
roof as guests of the same family and
have entered into young people's
sports and games as friendly rivals.
The children are Charley Taft.
younger son of the president. and the
Misses Esther and Marion Cleveland.
daughters of the late Grover Cleveland.
Last week they were the youngest
and JolIiest members of the house
party held at picturesque, rambling
Lookout hill, the Gloucester residence
OF John Hays Hammond. Among
other guests were Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward L. Ryverson of Chicago.
The Taft and Cleveland children
came together for the purpose of Wit
Messing the magnificent pageant which
turned Gloucester into a show city
Wednesday night.
The public who saw the children
sitting in the presidential box during
the pageant gained but slight idea
of the fun the young folks had in
getting acquainted.
To be sure, young Charley, who is
a thoroughly outdoor boy, was at first
somewhat in doubt as to whether the
two tall, fair haired girls would agree
with him on yachting being the best
way of passing the time. He was not
long left in doubt, for the two girls
inherit their fathers love of the
open air.
