Bearing 'Herseli‘ ’ Beautifully Under Full Sail. 2;: ONLY A DAY OUT OF NEW YORK The Steamship Spain Passed the Eamous Yacht and Reports Her All Right Only a Few Hundred Miles Away From . Sandy Hook. , NEW YORK, Sep. 19.—:The British racing cutter, Valkyrie, may be in port this evening, but it is hardly probable that she will sail through the Narrows un- til tomorrow morning. She was sighted ‘ on Saturday last by the British steamship Spain, which arrived at Quarantine at half-past 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon and went to her dock at. the National line wharf, on the North river, half an hour later. AlthOugh no signals were lexchanged between the big steamer and the yacht it is presumed that all are well on the smaller craft. ‘, At the time the yacht was sighted the wind was blowing freshly from the south, southeast. , "If I had known that the Valkyrie had not been reported since she left the other side,” said Capt. Griffiths of the Spain, “I would certainly have borne down on her and gone alongside. But, of course, I had no idea that there was any uneasiness about her and so I kept on any course. I am quite sure she was the Valkyrie, as I know that beat well.._, It was Saturday morning at 11 o’clock when we sighted her. The wind was blowing from the south, southeast, and she was behaving herself beautifully under full sail. She carried a. jib and staysail, mainsail and gaff-topsoil and was about six miles south ‘ of us. I should judge she was making 10 knots an hour, and the Spain was making about the same._ “We kept in much about the same po- sition all day. It Was raining and murky. At 6 o’clockr-it grew darker and we lost sight of her. That was just 430 miles east of Sandy Hook. “During the whole of Saturday there was a fresh wind, but at ten o‘clock that night it came into west, southwest, and at 2 o’clock on Sunday morningtonorthwest, keeping in the west the rest of our voyage. Of course When the wind headed us during t he night she would break off, and that ac- counts for our not being with her on Sun— day morning. “When I last looked athher she had taken in her gaff topsoil. All Sunday the wind was fresh, but during. Sunday even- i ng fell, and that night and until we came into port last evening it was very light. I hardly think the Valkyrie will get in until \Vednesday morning, but she might make it this evening.” STUDYING TRAIN ROBBEBIES. The United States Senate to'InvestigutO the Subject. . WASHINGTON, Sep. 19.—The Senate yes- terday held a short session. Its attention ' was devoted to Senator Pefier’s resolution directing the Committee on Interstate Commerce to inquire into the recent train robberies. Senators Cullom and Hoar took the position that the matter shouldbe left in the hands of the Judiciary Commit- tee, and Senators Hawley, Vest and Dolph opposed the proposition on constitutional grounds, but the resolution was not dis- posed of when the Senate, according to agree- ment, took a recess in order to attend the centennial ceremonies, and at their con- clusion adjourned. , The House did nothing but meet, take ‘n recess in accordance with the order pre- , viously adopted, to attend in a body the exercises in connection with the Celebra- t on of the centennial anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of the Capitol and adjourn at their close. ron'rUGAL's QuanAn'rmn.

SETTLERS LEAVING m-omcusr Wind and Fire Add New Terrors to the Lawless Land—Perry City Has 25,000 Inhabitants—Three Daily and Five Weekly Newspapers. ARK sas CITY, Kan, Sep. 19.—-A gale swept he Cherokee strip yesterday, lifting great volumes of the black, dry earth and tearing tents away from their fastenings. Tented towns were laid~ low by the wind and little progress was made by the army of town builders. Thousands -.of;pe:oplezh*ave merge out . of, the .Alund, of promise. Many have lost the prizes they .' . raced for last Saturday, but many others who had undisputed possession of farms "abandoned their claims to return to their old homes, thoroughly disgusted with the country. Those who made the great race honestly last Saturday found the bottom ' lands all taken, and in many instances men were at work plowing ground'ubout houses half completed of sod or boards. These sooners profited by their Oklahoma experience. It will be impossible to con- vict them of perjury this time. They will have their witnesses on hand to swear each other out, and the man who had the swift race horse will have no show, be- cause none of his friends wars with him. Numerous prairie fires have been the cause of mgre deaths than have six-shooters, and more charred bodies, on which there was nothing‘to identify them, were found on the prairies. Near Blackwell four quarter sections were found in the posses- sion of as many sooners by the racers when they came ,in on their foam-flocked horses. The claims were valuable and the racers proceeding to drive the sooners away, a fight ensued and three men were killed, Arthur Johnson of Pueblo, COL; Geo. 'Childs of Valley Falls South Dakota, and James Squires of H’ennessey, Oklahoma, all soon- ers. A large mass meeting was held here and resolutions adopted demanding the sur- render to the civil authorities of the sol- dier who killedJ.‘ A._ Hill at the line of the Chillocco reservation Saturday afternoon. The officers of the Third Cavalry persist- ently decline to give the name of the sol— dier who did the shooting, claiming that in killing Hill he was simply obeying or- ders. The remains of the dead man were shipped to his former home in New Jersey. GUTHRIE, O. ’1‘. Sep. 19.—Ihere are now 25,000 persons at Perry. All the land adjoining the townsits has been staked 01f into lots, and the Cherokee allotments at Wharton, half a mile away, were yesterday put on the market platted for a townsite, and several hundred lots sold at from one to $400 each. Lots are selling in Perry at $250 and $300 each, and dozens of build- ings are going up. A bank has been opened in a substantial frame building. There are three daily andfive weekly news- papers in the town, and more coming. A terrific sand storm raged all day and . people could not see 20 feet and hundreds are coming into Guthrie to await its abate- ment. The prairie fires are still burning the Pawnee country and several have per- lshed. A number of people who were ejected from trains or thrown 011 lots by deputy.- marshals on Saturday are having papers pjrepared to begin ' damage suits against nitcd States Marshal Mix, in sums rang- ing from $1,000 to $10,000 each, and he and his bondsmen are pretty nervous, as there is not a lawyer but admits thatevery person so ejected has a good case. In every case where the conductor or brake- meu on a train aided in putting the people off, or even allowed it without protesting, the railway company will also be sued. \VAB. IN BRAZIL All Ports South of Itio ,in Danger of Blockade. ' LONDON, Sep. 19.—A mercantile firm here has received a telegram from Rio J a- neiro saying that Congress had decided to to sit until September 25. The foreign bankers in the city have agreed to suspend business until the crisis shall end. The bombardment of the city yesterday lasted three hours. The forts replied with great effect. The steel cruiser Republics, the fastest of the Brazillian naval vessels, forced a passage across the bar and after a severe fight with the forts got away to the south. She is supposed to‘ have started for Santos for the purpose of blockading the port. Immediately after the bombardment ' the Aquidaban, with the rest of the insur— gent fleet, sailed southward. The fleet is expected to blockade shortly all the ports south of Rio'Janeiro. THE Iron “’orhs Resume Operations. PITTSBURG, Sep. 19.—-Brown & Com- pany’s Wayne Iron works, Tenth street and Duquesue way, resumed operations yester- day, their former employes reporting for duty to a man.

OF THOUGHT pAND ORATORY Following the Programme of a Hundred Years Ago—Addresses by the President and View-President and Willlam Witt Henry—Aalorlous Day.- ‘ _ “’Asmnaron, 'Sep. 19. -—-Yesterday was a memorable day for _Washington. Though the day is said. to_ have been fair and beautiful 100 years ago when President George Washington crossed the Potomac into Maryland and escorted by Virginialand Maryland troops and Masonicrand _ other. bodies, moved in procession to Capitol Hill; . and there laid the cornerésfone of the Na; ' tionsl Capitol, the Weather could not possi- bly have been more pleasant on that coca. sion than the clear skies an d buoyant sun- shine which smiled on the; centennial commemoration of .that greatvevent- Following as closely as possible the pro- gramme of the original ceremonies, the procession was chiefly confined "to civic ’ 0' bodies, under the marshalship of General 0rdWay, commanding the District No.- tional.'Guurd._‘ . ‘ f. ' ’ At the head of the "procession, imme- diateiy following Grand Marshal Ordw’ay and his well mounted Staff, rode the Presi; dent of the United’States and his Cabinet An interesting sidelfeaturogot the day was the releasing of anumbero‘f carrier pigeons which had been; sent, to, the Km ' . gineer Corps of the NutionalGu‘ard frenr, New York city, Brooklyn, N .- Yl, Newark, N. J., Providence, R. I., Fall River, Mass, and Leesburg, Va. The little ”messengersL entrusted with messages of congratulation. from the district commissioners to the mayors of the respective cities were turned loose at difierent times during the day, ao- ' cording to the distances to be traversed. Arrived at the Capitol shortlyaftOr 2 o’clock, the parade was dismissed and, the ceremonies of commemoration Were eomo menced from stands erected on the East? front, and in the presence on an immense concourse of people. The musical part of the programme was“ exceedingly notable and eflective. after Bishop Parets elognent prayer Duc—' ley Buck’s magnificent, "Te Deum in E; flat" was rendered by a chorus of fifteen; hundred trained voides, under the leader- . ship of Prof. Du Shane Cloward. After an appropriate address by Chair.- ma‘n Gardner, which was replete with local and historical interest, President Cleveland spoke as follows: , While I accept with much satisfaction . the part assigned to me on this occasion, I cannot escape the sober reflections which these ceremonies suggest; Those who sup.- pose that we are simply engaged in com- memorating the beginning of a magnifl~ cent structure devoted to important pub he uses, have overlooked the most useful and improving lesson of the hour; we do indeed celebrate the laying of a comer- stone from which has sprung the splendid edifice whose grand proportions arouse the pride of every Americancitizen; but our, celebration is chiefly valuable and signifi- cant becausc this edifice was designed and planned by great and good men as a place where the principles of a free representa- tive government should be developed in patriotic legislation for the benefit 0 a free people. ' ' If representatives who here assemble to make laws for their" fellow-countrymen forget the duty of broad and disinterested patriotism, and legislate in prejudice and passion, or in behalf of sectional and selfish interests, the time when the come stone of our Capitol was laid and the num- stances surrounding it, will not be worth commemorating. The sentiment and traditions connected with this structure and its uses belong to all the people of the land. They are most valuable as reminders of patriotism in the discharge of public duty and streadfastuess in many a struggle for the public good. They also furnish’a. standard by which our people may measure the conduct of those chosen to serve them. I believe our fellow citizens have no. greater nor better cause for rejoicing on this centennial than it found in the assur« arms that their public servants who assem- ble in theso'halls will watch and guard the sentiment and traditions that gather around this celebration, and -that in the days to come thosewho shall again com- memorate the laying of the corner stone of their nation’s Capitol will find in the re- cital of our performance of public duty no less reason for enthusiasm and congratula- tions than we find in recalling the wisdom and virtue of those who have preceded us. The oration of the day by William Wirt Henry Was learned and eloquent, closing as follows: . When we remember the great men who have shed lustre on this Capitol during the past century, as Presidents, legislators and jurists, we can justly claim an eminence- for our republic which has not been ex- celled, if ever equalled, by any other nation of this or any other age. _ Filled with the patriotic spirit of our founders, may those who administer the government. come year by year to this Capitol, and by wisdom-in counsel do con- tinued honor to their memory in contrib- uting to the happiness of this great peo- ple. Illustrious founders: "Ages on ages shallyour fate admire. No future shall see your names e ire While stands the Capitol. immo dome": The “Star Spangled Banner” sung by; the grand chorus follOWed after which Vice President Stevenson was introduced and made a historical and interesting ad~ dress.

The man played no com- binations or “arrangements,” because he was as green as grass and knew nothing about the game. ~ “I have a friend,” spoke up one of the group, who , is connected with the city government, “who by the merest luck made a discovery that is netting him mil- lions. His name is Perkins, and a few years ago back in Minnesota he made his discovery. He was a traveling man to: a grocery firm, and while walking to a train to go from one country'town to an- other one day he whittled a stick. . .“He had whittled thestick in a trian— E3? shape.
