Fast teams carrying ankioas hstne-seekers were driven at break-seek speed only to find men on the land prho had gone in afoot. Every precaution bad been taken to keep oat the "sooner element, and yet that element, profiting by former experiences, had captured the land. All night the ramble of teams eonld bs heard as they mo ed ont to the Strip. At the railway static ds men stood in-line at the ticket offices awaiting the slow movements of ticket sc Hers, who conld not sell over 2,000 tickets an hour. The great jam, however, was at Orlando, where there gathered 20,000 1 erry citizens, all snxioas for the time to co: ae when they could start on their ten-mile race.

Promptly at noon the start was made. For an boor bef Jre, the borders of the Strip were black witnl men, horses, and teams. From the elevation at Orlando the line eonld be seen for distance of eight miles east and ten milei west. In each direction the line was crow Jed nntil there appeared bat black ribb outlined on the gray surf ace abont the m. Half a dozen times some one wonld shout tha hour of noon.

and 50 to 100 horsemen wduld draw ont of the line, only to lie driven back by the cav alrymen who weije patrolling the Strip in front of the impaftient throng. At last a puff of smoke rose ont on the plains to the nortjh, and soon a dull report of a cannon was leard. A dozen carbines along the line spi ike ont in response to the signal and the lit was broken. Darting out breakneck speed, the racers soon dott the plains in every direction. Following them came lisbt vehicles driven wit a madness that disregarded every instruction, the drivers yelling and urgit their horses with whip as well as voice.

Then followed heavier wagons envelop in clouds of dust, the noise made by th ir wheels resembling long-coutinoed rolls thunder. Behind these came anxious fo tmen carrying blankets, water, and stake heedless of the heat and dust. The train, filli rapidly. At first there was an attempt to examine the registration certificates but this was soon given up as the rusliiuk thousands pushed those ahead of them, the trainmen giving all their time to col lectins tickets. The first train of twelve ars pulled across the line at noon, crowded as trains never were before.

Platforms and roots of cars were as black with huii life as were the Following this train at intervals of only two or three inutes, went another and another until ie last, consisting of 11 at and coal cars, all crowded, had pulled across the line, fallowed by at least disappointed, inting ineu who were determined not to be deprived of their chances to get i i. The ran to Perry was made in three-qi isrters of an hour. Before the train stonpe I men began climbing out of the window i and jumping from the platform. in their haste to secure the claims, ahead of the train wer at least l.OOO horsemen, who had come ie ten miles from the line in unprecedented! short time, and claimed all the lots immediately about the land office and the pdblic welL They were robbing down tueiij weary horses as the trains were unloaaiug. oon the last of the trains pulled inland the scramble for land about the town Icon tinued with increased vigor.

The quarter sections about the town had all been taken, but in every di rection lines wLre being run and addi tional towns laid out. to be callttd North Perry, South Psrry, Perry, and West rerry. i By 2 o'clock jfully 20.000 men and women of all nationalities and colors were on the site of whit all hope will be a great eity, without fJd and without water. The scenes at Enid were but a repetition of those at Perry.l Many aocidents were re ported, but so thr none of a serious nature. The south line of Cowley County, with Arkansas City hs the centre, presented scene almost as animated and exciting as that at Orlandi i.

Last night the lOO-foot strip for a disti nee of more than twenty miles was tiller with straggling, expectant humanity. All night long additions were made to the ere wd, and at 10 o'clock this morning east and wen of the Chllocco School there wis a long black line. Occasionally men would start out, but threats not to be diare carded soon brought them back. When ie signal was given, away they all went, i nd the scenes on the south line were repeated. There was a jam at Chilocco Creek.

which, owing tb the steep north bank, was passable at onlr a few points. In many instance men lebped their horaea down the eignteen-ioot tonbaukment, lauding in the water and naitiiy scrambling ont agaiu. Others were sii unfortunate as to cripple their add, abandoning them, started on foot. ukt east of the school a heavy wagon loaded I with six men was driven over the bankl which was concealed by the cloud, of dust thut came up lrotu the burned prairio.1 As the horses went over the men jumped, and all escaped unhurt nut one man, wjho bad his leg broken. i ne trains last uigbt tor tbe South car ried people, ostensibly to Orlando.

All tbe way owu, however, the boomers kept dropping uti the trains as they moved and when stopped at stations. At l'onca, which 1 iu tin; reservation, but two miles lrom the line, fully 5UO uien left the traiu. defying i he leoble of tbe two soldiers who hi been placed there to see that no one lei the traiu. These wen uld not become "sooners" nntil they cr the Hue, and, though their entrance from the reservation had been forbiddei by the Secretary of the Interior, thvy i o-day went out on the public domain fro that point, every one of them carrying a certificate of registration as credentials.

The bluecoats soon mastered the aituation, and with faxed bayonets cleared the train and compelled everybody to show certificate before entering. But on every side people fought and struggled to get near the cars. Women bad their elothes torn on and men war Hnwn trampled upon. Scores of people were Te tbe struggle kept np until mo wu.ii! was nued. it was repeated on smaller scale at each succeeding train.

Every train was jammed not only in respect to seats, aisles, and platforms, bnt also on the roofs and tenders and in the baggage cars. In every conceivable nook, on every Imaginable perching Doint, was a human being. At the noon signal a mighty shout went up and the race began. Thirty thousand certificates were issued at the Orlando booth, 33.000 at Hesnessy, and UO.OOO at Stillwater. Everybody was registered, but It was necessary for the Government to employ fifty clerks at some points instead of the three it started with.

The day opened cloudy, with every indication of rain before night, but tbe dust was flying in great clouds this morning before the rising wind. Guthrie was deserted. All the banks and stores were closed, and it was more qniet than Sunday. Every other city near the Strip was in the same condition. All the men and half of tbe women had gone to take part in the race.

The registration booths at Orlando were robbed oi certificates and the official stamp last night, and thousands of forged certificates were on the market to-day. Four "sooners" were shot by soldiers north of Stillwater. Just Craig of Indiana was accidentally shot in camp and Tom Jatdeson, colored, was burned to death ins prairie tire. One soldier was shot by a cowboy sooner near Kildare. Kansas City, Sept 16.

Careful. estimates show that the rash into the Cherokee Strip from various principal points at noon to-day, was made as follows: From Kansas City. 8,000 by train, 22.000 by other conveyances; from Caldwell, 10.000; from Orlanda. Oklahoma. 25.OO0: from Stillwater.

Oklahoma 10.O0O; front Uennessy, Oklahoma, 8.000; from other points, 12.0UO; making in all a total of U5, 000. Wasuixgtox. Sept 16. Official tele-grams from the Cherokee Outlet show that every homeseeker who presented himself at the booths has been registered, and everything is now in readiness for the ran. The registrations have far exceeded in number the highest estimates.

AkkaX8as CiTT, Sept 16 A very large percentage of the persons who went upon the strip to-day came from Kansas towns, from which they emigrated in the hope of bettering their condition. They accumulated nothing where they were, and for ally a year they must trust to luck for living. It is estimated that tbeir exodus will cost tlie Populists 50,000 votes in Kansas. Kansas is not the only field sending out thette land and lot seekers, "strippers, as they are known here. They come from every Western aud Eastern State.

Adventurous spirits, whom fortune has baffled in all parts of the world, have come oat to the Strip ready to begin life over again. One of the most interesting characters among the "Strippers" is a full-blooded Osage Indian, widely known in this section as Billy Connors, lie served in an Indian regiment in tbe war and returned to the plains with all his former habits intensified by the vices he had learned during army life. To-day he is a practicing lawyer, having been admitted to the bar at Oklohoma City. In conversation with The New-York Times's representative to-day Connors said, referring to his own history: "There are plenty of men here who have seen me riding the plains dressed only in breech-clout. Many times have I come into this city painted, with my hair trimmed down to a scalp-lock, and have filled np.

as people here can testify. 1 was in a fair way to become a worthless, drunken vagabond, as too many of my people are. 1 determined to chance my life and be a man. realizing as 1 did that the id ay of tbe (Indian was gene. I had found out that 1 was a good Indian when I had money, and that I was only a poor drunken devil when I was broke, which was the greater part of the time.

I was receiving a pension as a soldier and an annuity as an Osage, and owned then, as 1 do now, one of the best farms in my country. When I determined to change my life, ten years ago, I settled down on my place, put on tho clothiug of civilization, and began reading. 1 had been at one of the mission schools when a boy, and knew some of the simpler branches of education. It was hard work, but I staid with it "Five years ago I married a white girl, and from her I obtained the idea of read ing law. Before that time I had read any and everything that came in my way.

I read at home for two years, assisted only by my wife. I then went into a law office in Oklahoma City, and at tbe end of a year was admitted to practice. I have since been attorney for Indians, have visited Washington several times, and have a lucrative practice. But 1 desire to settle down and be at home. I have therefore decided to locate in one of the new towns.

Connors is intelligent and shrewd. While he gives much of the credit to his white wife, who is a charming woman, his reformation and civilization were begun by Liuiself. Anuette Daisy, the woman who took an active part in tbe three former openings, is again on hand. Sh has organized a colony of aingle women, widowa, and spinsters, and proposes to baild up a litt'e community, across tbe sacred borders of which no man shall pass. Up to noon today thirty-four women had signed their names aud signified their purpose to make their permaueut residence with the colonists.

Heretofore Miss Daisy has had an ambition to be a bounrr." This time she proposes to comply with the law. In company withthteeof tbe women for that purpose, she started iu the race. Tbeir ambition is to poasess but 4 hi) acres. Miss Daisy has exhausted her homestead rights, posaoasing a claim in Oklahoma. This ehe intenda to sell and set apart the proceeds for the improvement of this modern pur-chabe.

which they designate by the modest title of home."

Costa Kice, Sept 16. To-day being the seventieth America's independence the throwing on oi the Spanish yoke "is the phrase almost invariably used here President Jos J.

Bodrignes of Costs Rica signalizes the occasion by issuing a deertto national re-establishing the personal smarantae of bahaa eorpus and extending amnesty to political exues. To the Government and njtnmi nf tYio. United States, and especially to the an- tnonties in New-York and to The New-York Times, the moat inters ati no- futnra of the Executive decree is a qualifying Clause declaring explicitly that the Government of Coata Rica. MItm tha wirr't, to extradite Francis Henry Weeks, the ab sconding embezzler, whom The New-York Times traced to this city. The incorporation of such a provision in a national decree is unusual and remarkable.

President Kodrimez'a motivate mini. fest He desires to give a proof of Costa mca'B inendly attitude toward the big Republic of the north and at tho same time to prevent Weeks's lawyers from misconstruing the decree or taking any advantage of it to procure delays, aa they might do if the case of the New-York fugitive were not specifically excepted. That Weeks will be surrendered when the detectives some for him is absolutely settled by the proclamation. The offenses with which he is charged breach of trust and the plundering of confiding women-are particularly repugnant to the chivalrio sensibilities of Spanish-Americans. Some persons here are wondering whether he will try to kill himself rather than return to New-York.

The dominant belief is that he will not, because, as people say. it takes either a brave man or an insane one to commit suicide. It is to be hoped that the officers io sent here for their business, and will not allow him to slip through their lingers by reason of unfamiliarity with international law. Should they attempt to take the absconder back to New-York aboard a vessel of the Atlas Line, which flies the British flag, he could go ashore at Jacmel in Haiti or at Colon on the isthmus and Snap his fingers at the deteotivos. They wonld have no right to restrain him of hla liberty nnder each circumstances, because a foreign deck is for sign territory.

He could sail whither hd pleased, and would have to be pursued with new extradition papers, or he xnighf reach some other coantry with which the United States has no treaty of extradition, and which might not be as friendly to the United States as is Costa Bioa. Probably the quickest and the surest way of conveying the prisoner to New-York will be to put him aboard an American fruit steamer at Boeas del Toro, the extreme northern port of Colombia. It is sixty miles from Port Limon. Thence he eonld be transported, nnder the American flag, straight to New-Orleans. It would also be practicable to escort him to the Pacific coast, put him on a Pacing Mail steamship4, and land him at San Francisco.

United States Minister Baker cannot arrive here before the end of the coming week. His headquarters being in the City of Managua, in the interior of Nicaragua, his journey leads him first to the port of Corinto to catch a Pacific Mail steamship for Pnnta Arenas Thence he must travel overland to the Costa Bioan capital. The President's decreto, however, makes the presenoeof Minister Baker immaterial so far as the Weeks ease is concerned. Supporters of the Government here believe that the action of the President both in proclaiming amnesty to the ezilios and in avowing his intention to surrender Weeks will cauao intense satisfaction to Costa Ricana everywhere ae thev expreas it. to todos los hijos de Costa Rica fuera del pais." They are pleased to see him demoustrate his confidence in the strength and popularity of his Government by allowing its exiled adversaries to return.

And. as already stated, scant sympathy is felt for Weeks because of the exceptionally mean and odious character of the crimes which made him a fugitive from justice. These political exiles are a numerous class in every Spanish-American rennblin. They are usually men who get enticed into some revolutionary plot and who suddenly receive a friendly hint that their departure within twenty-tour hours or thereabout would probably contribute to tbeir personal comfort by keeping them out of jaiL Tbey seldom need a repetition of the warning. Gen.

Rodriguez obviously does not fear them now, since he invites them back and guarantees the right of habeaa corpus. At the same time it wonld be absurd to suppose that the opposition will not try to make campaign material ont of the Weeks incident during the approaching Presidential contest, inasmuch aa the absconder's extradition is to be a friendly act of favor not based on any formal treaty or agreement. It would be amusing, if it were not so serious a matter, to see a man accused of a gigantio swindle in New-York becoming a conspicuous issue in a South American national election; yet it is among the probabilities. About eight years ago the Liberal Party, which is opposed to the Church, came into power for the first time. It had a hard light to get in and a harder one to maintain itaelf afterward.

President De bo to finally had to resign on account of his health, which gave way under the strain of political auairs. Iu Costa Rica the President cannot succeed himaelf. and in rase of hia resignation or death, one of the Vice Presidents, of whom there are four or live, takes tbe office of President Vice President Ecbeverria succeeded De 8oto. and was a probable candidate for the office of President, but. being too ambitious aud desiring by means of a coup d'etat to get control of natioual ad airs wltbont a regular election, he was ousted and another of tbe Vice Presidents, Dr.

Duran, assumed the office. When the election took place there was a bitter tight, the Church on the one hand, desirout of regaining its ascendency, and the tnor4 progressive classes tightiug for a continuance of tbe liberal policy pursued by De toto- The result, although doae, was tbe election of Rodriguez, who represented tbe Church party.

The Church again inmped to the top, got more money from the Government, and imported fifty teachers from Spain who were alleged to be Jesuits ia disguise. Under the Administration of De Soto, the power of the Church had been greatly curtailed, and the Jesuits had been banished some time previously, as also had the Bishop of the province; the revenue had been cut down, and instead of baring schools run by the Church, the Government improved the national system of education, brought in English and 8 wise professors, snd sought to hsve a system of education equal to that of the United States With the advent of Rodriemes these Innovations were abolished to a large extent, the salaries of the various professors were cut down, some were discharged, and an tr sppropriation was given to the Church for the purpose of carrying on Church schools. Tbe prediction is made that asany of those who had been deported and who ars allowed now to return, will take advantage of any break which Rodrigues may make in regard to extraditing Weeks, The peons, or poorer classes, hsve little love for any nation that is not Catholic, and under the free franchise, which was the eanae of Rodriguez's election, and which was then for the first time enjoyed, every one fr1? Y.t- and showing of favors to the United States might be mads use of by the Liberal Party to beat the nominee of the Church Party. As has been previously remarked, however, these plans of his adversariee do not seem to disturb the President seriously, and he does not think the extradition of Weeks will hurt the party's chances.

The petition of the parishioners of Epiphany Church to Mgr. Satolll. the Papal Delegate, for the return of their old pastor, the Rev. Dr. Burtsell, has come to nothing.

Dr. Burtsell will remain in Rondout for the present. The delegate has dseided that he has no jurisdiction in the matter. He received the petitioners very kindly last Winter, and promised to do whatever lay in his power to induce Archbishop Corrigan to reconsider the Burtsell ease. He kept his promise by writing- a politic letter to tbe Archbishop, expressing the wish that he wonld reopen the case.

The Archbishop replied that At was a question which Propaganda had already settled and he had no desire to interfere. The matter ended there. All that haa since been published about it was mere guesswork. Mgr. Satolll.

Tha Tiunn Department has made nnblia tha faata relation to the reported less of gold boHiom xrom tho Mint at Philadelphia, as follows "On account of tho demand for en at vault ia whish 16.000.000 was stored la 1887 by Mr. Preston dnrine- tho term at Mr. Fox so Sanerintendant. aad whieh waat receipted for by (X Bosbyshell without weighing, was opeaed oa tho 8th inst. anS the bsllion reweighed br Mr.

Mors an. andt onnd to bo thirty bars abort, valued at abont $134,000. Mr. Morgan immediately reported to tho Mint Bnrean tho re salt, whsa bs was directed to retara tm Philadelphia at oneo and rsweigb ibd bullion. "On the eeeomd weighing It was still found to be short.

Since this bullion was" stored In tbe vault tho weigh clerk, an ol4 employe at the mint, has had solo enstody of it. and circumstances Indicated that h' knew what bad become of the missing balW ion. He was charged with IU embezzle ment and finally admitted it He famished -information as to where over 100,000 i it was secreted, which was recovered jom terday, and more will bo recovered to-dayi as be has expressed a willingness to give it np, but as to how much cannot be aoca-4 rntely stated, probably between six and seven thousand dollars. It is believed at the Treasury Department that tbo Gove ernment will loose nothing. This states ment is made in order to allay all aenasx tional news" The name of tho implicated officer ii Henry Cochran.

He bad been ia th employ of the mint over forty years. His salary is $2,000 a year. Secretary Carlisle bad hardly issned big order directing that the bullion ia tho mints of the country be coined than Henry S. Cochran, ia charge of the reserve vault in tbe Philadelphia mint, beeamo nneasy. He mentioned the matter to several of the -employes! of the Philadelphia mint, intia mating that the gold would- not bo found intact when the mint vault should be opened and the gold reweighed, He did not.

how ever, confine himself to mere protestations to the employee of the Philadelphia mint, out on Sept. 7 he came to Washington and visited Acting Director of the Mint Preston at his residence in this city. He endeavored to persuade Mr. Preston to have the Secretary countermand the order for coining the bullion at the Philadelphia mint, and to ship the coin from tha 2ew-York 6ub-troaaury for that parpoee. Mr.

Preston informed him tbat tho order eonld not be revoked. The unusual zeal displayed by Mr. Cochran, in the matter aroneed suspicion ia Mr. Preston's mind, and when the farther request was preferred from Philadelphia that a mint official ahonld bo detailed to bo present when the vault was opened. Mr, Preston was led to ask why such a course should be panned when the whole responsibility rested upon tho Superintendent of the Philadelphia Mini.

Bight here it is proper to state tbat ne) suspicion of any kind is entertained thaS Superintendent Bosbyshell had the least idea of a shortage in the reserve vanlt, or that in asking for the presence of a Treasury official he desired to divide the responsibility. In response to the request, Mr. Morgan of the Mint Bnrean was detailed to be present. The story of how the shortage was discovered is still fresh. Suspicion, of Pisted.

for obvions reasons, to Wsign Clerk Cochran, who for forty-three years has been employed in the Philadelphia Mint, and who for a number of years baa been in the immediate charge of the vanlt in question. Chief Drnmmond of tbo Secret Service of tbe United States was at once communicated with, and on Thu radar left for Philadelphia after a conference, with Acting Director Preston, and imms diately began work on tbe rase. The result was that on Friday evening Cochran made a fall conlession to Chief brnnimond and Mr. Preston, who bad come over from Washington on tbe afternoon train. Cochran stated that for the last eight or ten years he had been abstracting bullion bars from tbe vault.

In that time he bad. taken abont worth. Within tho last ten davs be hsd taken $100,001 worth. Tbe method be employed was substantially this: By means of a crooked wire bo pulled the bnlliou bars from the top of a pile where they were placed crosswise like railroad tiea. When tbey fell upon tbo floor he pulled tbe bars to tbe iron-latriced -door, the bottom of which was a littlo loose on one side, the bolts baviug rasped.

By poshing the door inward on this side the bar of gold could easily be removed. His habit was to do this stealing be I or tbe employee of tbe mint came to theit work in the morning. As the gold bsrs only weigh from twelvo to fifteen pounds each, be could carry theni home secreted in his lunch basket. In this way be took ont of the vanlt and carried away $34,000 of gold bullion. By means of tbe same book and in tbe eanio wav as heretofore described, he took out of 'tho vault within the last ten days VlUO.UotJ in gold bullion.

Instead of removing this from the mint bsiUling. however, he secreted it in the veutilator loft, where is was found after he made his confnaaion. Cochran showed tbe officers -its hiding place. Cochran is under $10,000 bond, and has a place outside of Philadelphia said to bo worth so that with tbo amount of money already recovered lOO.UOU at the mint and $7,000 at his home it is believed the Government can make np tho diner-en ce between the V134.0UO stolen and tho $107,000 recovered.
