the head of the state ticket, after
the Johnson amendments were en
Krafteil into the McLean platform,
and that document as amended was
adopted with much unanimity.
It was currently reported that John
Mill desired the nomination of Monett
.is attorney geneml and that the Mc
Lean men wanted Monett defeated.
Tho defeat of Motif tt was so decisive
as to be a feature of tho convention.
Monett. ns attorney general, had

and canvassed Ohio and other suites

Bryan in the Dust.
In the alleged stampede "for piln-
iples rather than men," the most
striking turn nf tho convention was
on Hrynn. Tho most bitter thltiRS
were said of his leadership In the com
lnlttt'o on resolutions this morning,
where It was insisted bis name should
not be mentioned and that there should
be no reference to national platforms
on which ho made his campaigns.
After this prfin had boon ncreed on
one of the two members of that com
mittee offered a minority report re
nnlrmliig the Kansas city platform
nnd expressing confidence In Hrynn.
JJ received only six votes from the
!C0 delegates on his substitute for tho
pieamhlo. A few moments, after tho
platform was adopted one of these six
delegates called attention to the fact
that pliliires of other Democrats were
displayed In the hull and none of llry
nn, as heretofore, lie started to carry
n small banner with ISryan's picture
on It to the platform. The aisles were
ordered cleared, but tho picture did
not reach Us destination. it was
trampled under foot and spoiled during
the wild demonstrations when Kll
bourne was escorted Into the hall.
While It Is generally believed the
juiiivhiinr clubs did not know they
were walking over Uryan's picture yet
there was much comment after tho
convention that the plcttiio was not
treated worse than had been the old
standard bearer himself by the com
mittee on rei-olutlons and the conven
tion. Platform Causes Comment.
Members of the committee on lcsnlu
tlonn said over nnd hour was spent last
night to strike the woid "saleable-'
out of the plunk on railway taxation
and several hours in denouncing the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms nnd
the leader who stood on them, The
platform caused much comment tonight
over what it does not say ns well as
ever what It does say, Cnusual Inter
est s being taken In the selection of
members of the state eoxctitlve com
mittee by the state central committee,
since the convention concluded Its
wiok. The state central committee
met Inst night and adjourned over until
today and today It adjourned until
July 'JO without (.electing Its chairman
or secietnry. It Is said none of the
candidates for either of these places

and that Cod. Kllbourne will be com
polled to co-operate with either the
McLean men or the Johnson men, who
are not talking friendly of each other,
to cuntrol the state executive commit
tee, In the selection of this executive
hoard the head of the ticket has al
ways been consulted. In this connec

tho Hcnatorshlp for which the con

Tho lotttry scheme roblwd the open
ing of the plotuiesnuo' run and the
exciting times incident to the great
opening of tho Cherokee Strip ten
years ngo. Compared with that event,
the affair today was tamo In the ex

20.000 people In town, practically no
disorder prevailed. As n ltile, the

money and provisions, and aside from
the long wait In the sun before the

vtnlence has been experienced.
Last night hundreds of people slept
in the streets to maintain their plnces
In lines, which began forming yester
day at the six registration booths at

years or more and the last night ot
their long vigil was the most trying
they had experienced. The line was
made up of the hale, the lame and tho
brawny frontiersman, sprawling' out In
the dust. Applicants were admitted to
the booths four at it time and the 111
Ing proceeded rapidly all day.
The second place ot registration
named In tht proclamation was nt

where similar scenes to those enacted
al Kl Iteno were witnessed. The peo
ple in the vicinity of Mountain View
nnd other points along the border con

HAS SETTLED
Abdul Hamld Has Paid Our Indem
nity Glalm AQalnst the
Turkish Government.
THE AMOUNT RECEIVED
Drafts Have Arrived at Washington.
The Sum of $08,000 Receivod by
tho State Department Handed
Originally to Our Minister at Con
stantinopleThe Money to Be Paid
to Various Claimants The Basis
of the Claims of the United States
Government.
By K.xclualte Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, July 10. The slate de
partment has received the amount ot
the American Indemnity claim against
Turkey, $y.",000, through the American
legation at Constantinople,
The money wan paid by the Turk
ish government to Mr. Irishman, our
minster at Constantinople; was by him
placed In the Ottoman Imperial bank,
and drafts remitted for the amount.
These drafts have Just reached Wash
ington. As is nlwuys the case, the
claims 1n the aggregate considerably
exceed the amount of tho Indemnity
actually paid, but our government has
expressed Itself satisfied with the pay
ment. It assumes full icsponslblllty
for the distribution, the Turkish gov
ernment paying down a lump sum of
$95,000, and leaving It to the state de
partmeut to distribute this among the
claimants at Its discretion and after
Its own fashion.
It Is stated that as soon ns the de
partment ofllclals can prepare their
list, they will communicate directly
with the claimants.
The Bill Long Due.
Abdul Humid II. tho ruler of the
Ottoman empire, has at last dived
Into his pocket and paid up the little
bill so long due. Tho debt which has
now been satisfied was Incurred by the
sultan when he allowed certain of his
armed soldiery to stalk abroad on the
hills and In the valleys of Armenia
and put a peaceful people to tho
sword. The atrocities then winked at
by Abdul Hamld, horrified the Chris
tian world, but the nations of Chris
tianity hud too much to do watching
one another to take the Turk by the
throat. It so happened, however, that
soldiery were not particular how they
slaked their thirst for rapine and
slaughter, and a few American mls
slonatles suffered losses of property If
not of life. The country promptly
held Abdul Hamld lesponslble, and
demanded reparation In the shape of u
good round sum of money ot unques
tioned character. Abdul demurred and
questioned our right to demand such
a payment.
The negotiations, threats and prom
ises huve dragged on for years.
