So in success of friends or relatives unfortunate on to-day, instead of be- walling their fate, cheered lustily when familiar names were called out from the commissioners’ platform. The growds fairly exhausted themselves, and when the close of the drawings for the day was announced at 6 o’clock hun- dreds who had neither eaten nor drunk during the day sank to the ground where they stood from sheer fatigue or dragged themselves to better places of rest, or to refreshment booths uptown. The day was remarkably free from quarrels and gen- method of the disposition of the land was expressed. Hundreds Have “Repeated.” It has been found that many hundreds of applicants have “fepeated” and that others have applications which are so illegible that they will be thrown out. Over this discord resultgd, and the uot- come may be an appeal to the courts, The drawing had been set for 9 o'clock, but the transferring of the bundles of envelopes holding the applications from the general receptacle to the wheels, which was by lot, was so slow that it was 1 o’clock before the first name ve names were drawn from the district and then an equal num- ber from the Lawton district. When all was ready, Ben” Heyter placed his hand in an apeéfture in the El Reno wheel and, withdrawing an_envelope, handed it to Colonel Dyer. It was passed to Chief Clerk Mackey, stamped and handed back to Colonel Dyer. The commissioner walk- ed to the front of the platform, raised his for order and in a loud tone ex- med: Stephen A. Holcomb of Pauls Valley, Lnn' n Territory, draws the first num- er.” Cheers for the Winners. The crowd yelled for three minutes, ap- parently as much delighted as if every man had drawn a prize. Envelope No. 2 was quick drawn forth and Colonel Dyer again announced: “Leonard Lamb of Augusta, O. T., born in Mlinois.” e —— GREAT GATHERING AT EL RENO, Gets Married and Forfeits Her Land OF THE NEW TERRITORM * OKLAHOMA, OF SEEKERS OF ‘ HOMES. =ge were drawn and as each name was an- nounced each one was greeted with a vol- ley of cheers.

When twenty-five names had been taken from the El Renc wheel, atten- tion was turned to that representing the Lawton district. The first name brought out for this district was that of James'R. Woods of Weatherford, O. and the crowd again went wild. This meant that Woods would be able to claim the quar- ter section adjoining Lawton, one of the choicest in the entire country. “They Must Get Mcorried.” The second ticket was drawn and Colonel Dyer cried out: “I have the asure to announce the name of the first woman to draw a prize—Mattie H. Beals of Wichita, Kan.” \ Then Colonel Dyer gave her description as 25 years of age, five feet three inches in_height, just the height of Woods. Instantly the crowd caught the humor of the situation and thousands of throats e fond the shout: “They must getgmar- ried. The other first names drawn from the Lawton district follow: 3—Winfield S.

The eighteenth winner in the Lawton district was Minerva McClintock, aged 25 years, of Oklahoma City. She was mar- ried yesterday and by this act forfeits her right to file for a claim. She might have chosen a claim near a county seat town worth several thousand dollars. The drawing will be resumed to-mor- row morning and continued until all of the 13,000 claims have been awarded. It believed that this will have been ac- complished by Thursday evening. WICHITA, Kan., July 20.—Miss Mattie H.

ALl B LONDON, July 30.—There was wild up- roar in the House of Commons between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning at the close of the debate on taxation of agricultural property. The Conservatives interrupted Mr. Walton, Liberal, with cries of “divide.” ‘William Redmond, on a point of order, called the attention of the Speaker to the interruption, but the Speaker ruled that the point was not well takem. ‘Walton resumed, quite inaudibly, owing to_the persistent cries of “‘divide.” Redmond shouted, ‘‘Police, police.” The Srenker said this expression was aisorder! Redmond shouted: “Why don't you keep order?” The Speaker directed him to leave the House and ‘‘named” him. Mr. Balfour, the Government leader, moved Red- mond’s suspension, and this was carried by a vote of 303 to 7. Patrick O'Brien persisted in the same point of order and was in turn “named” and suspended.

Proposition of the Trust Will Be Taken Up for Con- sideration. LS ¥ PITTSBURG, July 29.—“The executive committee of the Amalgamated Associa- tion will meet in the headquarters of the organization at 10 o’clock to-morrow: morning, or as soon thereafter as possi- ble, to take up the proposition of the United Steel Corporation for a settlement of the steel workers’ strike.” This state- ment was made to-day by Secretary Wil- llams of the Amalgamated Assoctation. Beyond this he declined to discuss the strike in any form. There was no change in the position of the contending forces to-day. ‘No further attempt was made to start the idle mills, and' there were no accessions to the ranks of .the strikers. An early report that the American Tin Plate Company was mak- ing an effort to start the Demmler plant with non-union men and that one set of rolls was being operated was afterward explained as being a rumor that started from the fact that the company had some men at work repairing the plant, with the expectation that the strike would be set- tled_shortly. President Shaffer Remains Silent. This was a busy day for President Shaf- fer and the executive officials of the Amalgamated Association. There was a steady stream of callers from early morn- ing and innumerable conferences bearing % the proposed settlement of the strike. esldent Shaffer was firm in his deter- mination not to talk on the strike situa- tion until after the meeting to-morrow. Colonel G. Watson French and J. Wash- ington Taylor of the Republic Iron and Steel Company had a lengthy conference with President Shaffer, but the object of their call was not ‘made public. It was said, however, that it had no connection with the strike settlement, but rather to the affairs of the Youngstown company. It was said the Republic Company was in need of a number of skilled men and in search of them. After the visit of Colonel French, Joseph Bishop, secretary of the Ohio board of arbitration, went into con- ference with President Shaffer. His visit was in connection with the strike and its probable settlement. What was said, how- evef, was not Givulged and ‘will not be. It is belleved that Bishop has been actively engaged In bringing about the last con- {erel:ce between the strikers and the steel rust. Strikers Hold Their Ground. One of the most. apparent facts in the status of the strike to-day was the deter- mination of the strikers to lose no ground in their struggle while peace negotiations are being conducted. The strikers claim to have more than held their own ground since the strike began, and since the open- ing of the campaign they claim to have increased their membership in McKees- port alone to over 1500. Accessions to the ranks of the Amalgamated Association have also been made in Wellsville, Pitts- burg, Allegheny, Mingo Junction and Riv- erside, W. Va., where one of the National Tube Company's mills is operdted. With the American Steel Hoop Company the change has been one of the most sweeping. Before the strike practically all but two of the mills were non-union. At this time all but one of the mills of this company are union and are idle from the strike. The situation of the American Tinplate Company is well understood. -All of the mills of that company are Working under union rules excepting the Monessen mill. The story told of this mill is that: under the agreement made at the time it was secured by the trust the management of the plant was to be left in the hands of the former officials for a period of five years. This was done in order to prove the value of the patent methods for pro- ducing tinplate there. This plant is still running non-union, and ¢hough thirty-six men have been discharged from the plant for embracing union principles. Manager Percy Donner claims that the plant is running full and has not been affected by the strike in the least. The mill employs men. JACKSON DEFEATS HANDLER. Colored Lad From California Makes Good Showing at Baltimore. BALTIMORE, July 20.—‘“Young” Peter Jackson, the California colored lad, won from “Jimmy"” Handler of Newark, N. J., to-night in the ninth round of the flercest slugging match ever held in Baltimore. The contest, which was to have gone twenty rounds, was held at Ford's Opera-house under the auspices of the Eureka Athletic Club, with the mercury in the neighborhood of 100. Both men were in good condition, but Jackson had the better of it in this respect and the fact won him the battle. Handler started the slugging as soon as the men reached the center of the ring, keeping it up all through the mill. He seemed to be able to hit the negro when and where he pleased and hit him hard at that, but the Californian took his punishment gamely and stood up under it hand- somely. Handler seemed to have the fight in hand_in the sixth round, but the gong saved Peter and gave him another chance and he fought warily during the seventh and eighth rounds. Handler was still punching hard and often when, just the ninth was about to end. Jackson landed a vicious left swing on the white boy's jJaw, sending him to the floor ahd setting him groggy. After this there Were some wild swings, with Handler gasping and dazed, until the police or- dered the fighting stopped and the referee decided in Jackson's favor. el bgmatl L CADILLAC AGAIN VICTORIOUS.

CHICAGO, July 20.—The Cadillac won the seventh trial race to-day, beating the Illinols by one minute and five seconds over a twenty-one mile course. At the conclusion of the race the judges an- nounced that they considered the result so far obtained indecisive and ordered three more races.

FORMER PREMIER CRISPI'S LIFE IS NOW SLOWLY EBBING Attending Physicians Have Given Up Hope and Death of Italy’s Grand Old Man Believed to Be Only Question of Hours — J R g APLES, July 30.—Signor Crispi’'s condition has again taken a most serious turn and his attending physiclans say that dissolution is fast approaching. During his several months’ sickness there have been many changes—some regarded favorably— but his condition at the present hour is most grave, and his death is believed to be a question of only a few hours. e L ukady FRANCISCO CRISPI'S CAREER. Soldier and Statesmian Who Becams= Italy’s Grand Old Man. Francisco Crispi, soldier and statesman, sometimes called the Grand Old Man of Italy, was born at Ribera, Sicily, October 4, 1819, the same year with the late Queen Victoria. From the time he attained his majority until within a year or two ago he was actively engaged in public life. He was one of the founders of the New Italy and afterward one of the foremost in perfecting the system of government. He studied law at Palermo and became a member of the bar at Naples, where he engaged in the conspiracies that finally led to the overthrow of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies in 1848. He was one of the chief promoters of the insurrection of Palermo, became a deputy and Grand Secretary of War, and for two years was the head and heart of the resistance of- fered by the Sicilian people. On the vic- tory of the Swiss regiments he fled to France. In 1859 and 1860 he organized a new Sicilian revolution, landed at Palermo with Garibaldi and his volunteers and after fighting as a simple soldler became a Minister, in_which capacity he paved the way for the annexation of the Two Sicilies to the kingdom of Italy. In 1861 he was returned by the city of Palermo to the first Italian Parliament and was thenceforth connected with the affairs of the nation. He took a most prominent position and in a short time became the acknowledged leader of the Constitutional opposition. He was very popular and in 1876 was chosen as deputy by several electorates at the same time and was elected president of the Chamber of Deputies by a vote of 232 to 115. In 1877, when the return of the party of ‘“Moral Order” to power in F‘rgnce menaced the interests of Italy, Crispi visited . London and Berlin in search of allles ard_ was well received in both capitals. Soon after he became Minister of the Interior in the Deputies Cabinet, but retired after some months' service. For the next ten years he was the leader and one of the principal orators of the Left. Tn 1880 he began the movement to make Italy more prominent in the concert of nations and to make the Adriatic States, then under Austrian sway, a part of Ttaly. Iny 1885 he declared war against the Clerical party as being hostile to modern Ttalian institutions. After the Italian re- verses at Massowah, in Africa, in 18%7, When the Depritis Cabinet was or- ganized, Crispi became Minister of For- elgn Affairs and on the death of that statesman succeeded him as president of the council. A On October 1 he paid the first of a L e e e tepeieietfeideri e R R @ HORRORS OF WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA Appalling Situation in the Boer Reconcen- trado Camps. CHICAGO, July 20.—*The horror of the situation in the Boer reconcentiado camps in South Africa is appalling. Men, women and children are dving at a rate that would mean the extermination of the race in nine years. The people are cooped up in unsanitary quarters, where they are unable to secure sufficlent food or clothing, with disease making terrible ravages among them.” Thus was the situation in the Transvaal and Orange Free State deplcted tdfnight at the Christian Reformed Church by Rev. Herman D. Van Brockhuizen, late pastor of the leading Dutch Reformed Church at Pretoria. He has come to the United States to raise money to alleviate the sufferings of his countrymen, who are huddled together in refugee camps. It is the intention of Mr. Brockhuizen to travel through the country, speaklnfi in churches of. various denominations an describing the real situation throughout South Africa. The funds he is able to secure will be sent direct to 3 Regarding the outcome of the struggle Rev. Mr. Brockhuizen is still optimistic. He believes the Boers will continue fight- l;g until they eventually tire out Great tain. “It is quite Impossible to estimate the. number of burghers now in the fleld,” he sald, “but: the force is undoubtedly mfich larger than when Pretoria was taken.” A few days before leaving Europe Mr. Brockhuizen visited President Kruger, and when he asked the doughty old Boer what message he would send to the American people, Kruger replied: “Tell them they are helping the Eng lish to slaughter our people by supplying tltaem with horses, mules and munitions of war.” 'Il- 3 FRANCISCO CRISPI, FORMER PREMIER AND GRAND OLD MAN OF ITALY. + - series of visits to Bismarck, which re- | sulted in the entrance of Italy into the | “Dreibund.” = The country being then | asked to vote large sums for the main- | tenance of an increased army and navy, Crispi became unpopular-and serious dis- turbances ensued in Rome and Naples, | and several attempts were made on his | life. In 1888 the commercial treaty with | France was broken and not renewed, and | on this question and that of the relations | of the Government to the Papacy, Crispi | went before the country and after a bril- | liant campaign his party was returned | with_a majority in the Chamber of 236, | the Premier himself being again returned by four electoral colleges. | Two months later, however, the Crispi | Ministry went down on a question of tax- ation, a new Ministry being formed by Marquis de Rudini. In 1892 Crispi gave up the leadership of the opposition, but | retained his seat in the Chamber of Deputies. On the_ fall of the Glolott! Ministry (who had succeeded Rudini) In Novem- ber, 184, he was again called to the| Premiership. In the same year his gov- ernment by severe measures suppressed the Socialist Corporation of Italian work- ers. In 189 questions dealing with Italy's relations with Brazil, England and Austria had already aroused great pub- lic feeling, when the disastrous results attending the Government's policy in Africa began to transpire, and when in 1896 Ttaly sustained her greatest defeat of modern times at the hands of Menelik’s generals at Adowa and Abba Carima, the Crispl Ministry fell at once. At this juncture Signor Crispi entered upon a phase of public career which would have finally extinguished politically 2 less able | statesman. In 1394 grave charges had been presented against his_integrity in connection with some fraudulent trans- actions with the funds of the Banco Romano, and in 1897 he was formally tried by a commission from the Chamber | and declared not guilty. ‘After this Signor Crispl retired from active participation in national affairs, though he wrote several articles on political subjects which attracted much attention.

Though ask- ed to make an attempt to go around the Eiffel Tower, the aegonaut declined, say- ing his motor was not yet working as well as he wanted. The weather was cloudy, which may*iave influenced his decision. During the trip M. Santos-Dumont cut one of his hands slightly with a guide rope. Otherwise there was no incident. The crowd warmly cheered M. Santos- Dumont at the start and on his descent his friends crowded around him and warmly congratulated him upon his suc- cess. The aeronaut started at 4:35 p. m. and descended at 4:55 p. m. The exhibition, though successful, was aisappointing in that he did not go around the Eiffel Tower, though he had an- nounced his intention of attempting that feat.
