Lh-i Day «»f th* I>-l>»t#.
WasniBOTotf, Aug. 29.—The proceed-
ings ot the house Saturday were of un-
usual interest. It was known that ex-
Speaker Tom Reed of Maine, Bourke
Cockran of New York, Bland of Mis-
souri and Wilson of West Virginia
would be among the speakers, and long
before 10 o’olook the galleries were
filled to ov -flowing.
Mr. Clark (Dem., Ala.) was the first
speaker and he favored the Wilson bill.
Ex-Speaker Reed then took the floor.
The house tme to a sudden condition
of quietude as Mr. Reed stood up in
the most easterly aisle on the Repub-
lican side of the chamber and began to
address the house In strong, slow,
measured tones.
In beginning his speech Mr. Reed
said crises like the present were insep-
arable accompaniments of all human
progress.
Referring to the new political condi-
tion which exists. Mr. Reed said it is
perfectly true that the Democratic
party is ros|ion*ihle for whatever oc
ours in the future, and for whatever
does not occur. For the first time in
80 years they have been lifted to the
high level ot responsibility, but only
the lapse of time can give them a
proper sense of their responsibility and
the necessities of the oountry. Until that
period of responsibility shall rest fairly
upon their shonlder. and also after
wards, they can rely upon the assist-
ance of the Republican party in the
minority, us they have relied upon them
in the majority, in the direction of
sound government, responsibility and
honest administration of affairs.
Expressing regret that the Republi-
cans had not the power of submitting
amendments to the pending bill, Mr.
Reed passed to the consideration of re-
peal. While he was in favor of It, ho
took the floor and addressed the house,
The remedy for the present condition
Of things, he sstd. ought to be (ought
for free from any spirit of partisanship.
He could not agree that tlieae period*
of depression were inseparable from the
advancement of civilization, but that
each hail a specific, the cause of which
might be readily discovered.
Mr. Cockran said that the platform
of the Democratic party did not declare
for the free ooinago of silver. Mr.
Cockran aald he stood upon the Demo-
cratic platform with both feet, aud it
was those who differed fjrou him who
was trying to push him off.
He thon devoted himself to an his-
torical resume of financial legislation
and asserted that there was no instance
in the history of civilisation where gold
and silver ever circulated aide by side
at any ratio. It was impossible -that
they should do so.
He said the trouble in this country
was not due to the lack of money, but
to the lack of ’a redundancy of money.
Money was not wealth; It was the ma-
chinery with whioh trade worked. He
held that these periods of depression,
without exception, -were due to the ex-
tension either of the currency of the
oountry by legislation or of credit be-
yond the capacity ot business interests
to support it. The operations of the
Sherman law, he said, proved the truth
of the statement. It inoreaaed the
volume of ourrency and now stringency
was upon the oountry. The farmer
suffered most under the operations of
the Sherman law, said Mr. Cockran,
and it was strange that the friend of
the farmer, the victim of the aot, do-
sired the continnancs of the conditions
under whioh the farmer suffered.
The peroration, in which the speaker
pleaded for equity and justice as the
basis of the government's policy aud
asserted that material growth, unac-
companied by tho growth of moral
grandeur, would be neither permanent
nor desirable, awoko a whirlwind of
applause on the floor and in the galler-
ies.
Mr. Cookren was ovcrwhelmned with
congratulations on bis magnificent ef-
fort, which occupied an hour and a half
in delivery. The excitement on the
floor was so great that •Speaker Crisp
was compelled to call for order. Mr.

BOUBKB COCKRAN.
Cockran was followed to a cloak
with the felicitations of his b
which continued to be showered
him for some minutes.
Mr. Blsud followod, but ths cro'
was no longer there to listen to hi:
No man knows more of silver and its
history as a luotal and a money than
Blnnd. but he does not possess the
blessings of oratory. But crowd or uo
crowd he drove right along. He was
fighting what he honestly tselievea the
lqst fight for his favorite metal, and
throughout ho fought bravely and with
no concessions, though he should die
for it.
Mr. McMilliu (Dem. Tenn.) followed
Mr. Bland and made a good argument
in favor of bimetallism.
The closing speech of Representative
Wilson, the author of tho pending bill
to repeal the Hlierman act and the
lender of tho anti-silver forces, was by
his own generosity to others limited to
25 minutes. It was a concise and con-
clusive statement of the impending rea-
sons for tho repeal of the Hheruian act,
while replete with sound logic and finan-
cial reasoning.
After Mr. Wilson's remarks the house
recessed until 8 o’clock. When the
house resumed s)ieeches were tnudeTby
Tracy of New York, Stoueof Kentucky,
Don telle of Maine, Eellows of New
York, Fithian of Illinois, Hudson ot
Kansas and Hendrix of New York.
Tho bouse then adjourned. The vot-
ing will begin this afternoon. Thero
are many surmises though no one pro-
fesses to know the result.
Guthrie, 0. T., Aug. 28.—The sole
topic of convnreatlon here Is the Chero-
kee strip snd the president's proclama-
tion. Nothing the administration ha*
done in the whole matter of preparing
for the strip opening meets with such
general condemnation at the tooation of
booths aud the regulation compelling
all intending eettlere to register end
qualify before entering the land. The
crowd will be so great that many of
those who intend to register will
l>e compelled to stand In Une
for .several days, and to be tare of
getting registered a man must be on
the line five or six days before the open-
ing, thus entailing an exiwnse of 886 or
WO where, were it not for this register-
ing, he could come on the tratn the day
before-or even on tho morning of the
opening and save this extra expense.
While it is claimed that this registra-
tion system will defeat the sooners, it
in fact will help them, for a sooner can
register severe! days before the open-
ing and then enter the land and bide on
or near a good claim, and when he ap-
pears at the land office his regib .tion
certificate will be evidence that lie is
all right. Hundreds of old time specu-
lators have already arranged for the
buying and selling of these certificates
in a wholesale manner and there is
nothing to prevent a man who is quali-
fied, but dose not wish to go in, frota
lending hie certificate to another. Im-
pecunious boomers, of whom there are
thousands, will aloe secure many a dol-
lar by lining up in front of the booths
repeatedly and selling out their pieces
to these anxious to register.
Military ArraBstamcnt*.
Washington, Aug. 88c-Oen. Scho-
field has issued the neoessary orders
for enforcement of the president’s proc-
lamation opening the Cherokee strip
to settlement Sept. 16. General Miles
of the department of the Missouri has
been given full authority to employ a
sufficient force of troope to clear the
reservation and to establish a cordon
around it until the hour set for it* .for-
mal opening. • He has 000 troope of the
Third cavalry on hand available for
that purpose, with mors within cell.
Ths present force is considered strong
enough, ac no more were required in
the case of the Oklahoma opening.
~ ^. Old (alilUr*' nights.
Abraxas City, Kao., Aug. 18.—
There Is a pioveniont here among old
soldiers to niAko a test esse of their
right to declaro their intention of set-
tling on any specific quarter in the
strip snd taking advantage of sections
2301 and 8806 Revised Statutes of the
United State* and of the Oklahoma law
to protect them. The statutes say a
veteran may locate hie homestead and
have alx months to file his declaratory
statement, make his entry-snd com-
mence improvements. The Oklahoma
law declares his rights shall not be
abridged by any other law or procla-
mation. If this bold* good any old
soldier may go to tbs land office as soon
as open and make declaration or may
do so by mall, and without making the
run contest the right of any settler who
may settle on the quarter he has pre-
viously piokeil out. Major O. M. Wil-
son, a prominent attorney, and some of
hie old soldier friends, are going to test
it, and other Grand Army men will be
urged to do the same.
