THEY WERE PREPARING A PRIVATE SEWER. ACCIDENT ON ANN AVENUE, »-NEAR EIGHTEENTH STREET. SCHMITZ AND WISSMAN ARE THE MEN KILLED. Without Warning the Big Pile of Dirt Fell Upon Them, and They Were Suffocated Before Aid Could Reach Them. August Wissman and Herman Schmitz met death Wednesday morning through thelr own carelessness. They were digging a sewer in the rear of J. Sohottle’s dairy, at 1808 Ann avenue. The earth caved in and buried them. It took the firemen of Hook and Ladder Co., No. 1, ex- actly one hour to dig them out. Wissman was barely alive when his body was arrived at. His trunk and lower limbs were still too deeply wedged in the soft earth to permit his being pulled out, and he died while the work of rescue was going on. When Schmitz’s body was brought to the surface life had long ago departed. Their bodies were sent to the Morgue. The carelessness of the men consisted in attempting to dig a sewer without supply- ing themselves with the proper appliances for bracing. They dug to a depth of about eight feet and had the trench about 15 fect long. They continued to dig without a sin- gle brace and the cave in was inevitable. Braces were especially needed in this in- stance, as the ground in the rear of Schot- tle’s dairy is filgd ground entirely, the sotl being mainly composed of cinders and rub- bish. Theodore Billman, a_ step-brother’ to Schmitz, was working in the trench at the time, but he managed to scramble out and not only save Himself but give the alarm. a -— me wee — BOTTLED UP! ay _ o ORRO castle | | CARIBBEAN SEA ——— | } i a i ee He then seized a pick and led in the rescue, The three men were employed in the dairy.

Rehfelt of 2223 South Jef- ferson was called to the scene of the acci- dent, but there was no opportunity for him to tender aid, The earth caved in at 11:30 o’clock and it | was 12:45 before Schmitz’s body was hauled up. CHICAGO KICKERS WORSTED. Commissary-General Upholds Capt. Duvall’s St. Louis Purchases, Chicago's jealousy of St. Louls over army commissary contracts will avail her noth- ing. St. Louls merchants are laughing at the efforts of the Windy City tradesmen to create a sentiment against them by attack- ing the integrity and fairness of Capt. Du- vall. who is in charge of the commissary office here. Gen. Cushing, the Commissary General, upholds Capt. Duvall and says the Chicago people are barking up the wrong tree, Some days ago there appeared in a St. Louis paper a telegraphed statement that Armour & Co. of Chicago had wired a com- plaint to the Commissary General, charging that Capt. Duvall was favoring St. Louls in the purchase of supplies, President Chris Sharp of the Merchants’ Exchange and Secretary Morgan wired Con- gressman Bartholdt about the alleged com- plaint and explained to him its absurdity. Congressman Bartholdt called on Gen. Cushing and was told by him that he need have no fears. Gen. Cushing said he was satisfied that Capt. Duvall had been act- ing on his instructions and had purchased in St. Louls merely because St. Louis mer- chants had bid lowest on contracts. He said the policy of the War Department was to favor the largest markets and cities where purchases could be made cheapest. “Capt. Duvall will be upheld,” said Gen, Cushing. “This charge made by Chicago traders is absurd,’’ said President Sharp of the Ex- change. ‘‘Capt. Duvall has let contracts to the lowest and best bidders, and St. Louis has got the contracts because our mer- chants have pursued a@ fair, conservative policy in offering the best goods at the lowest price. The Chicago people want to hog things, and their bids are too high. The position of the Commissary Department plainly shows the supremacy of St. Louis. I know that Capt, Duvall has been doing his duty.’’ Ex-Congressman Seth W. Cobb said the reason why St. Louis was ge cee bid 7 obvious. — so “We bid lowest and offer the best goods,” he said. “That is the whole story. These complaints by other cities are laughable.”’ INCREASED MONEY ORDERS. Largest. Business in History of That Division of Postoffice. The gfoney Order Division of the Post- office has reflected the tide of prosperity sweeping over St. Louis by showing tha largest increase of business in its history, for the quarterly period ending May 1. During the past four months 294,587 ordera have been issued, netting a cash total of $1,638,405.20, as against 272,197 orders, repre. senting $1,548,623.39 cash, for the corres- ponding weriod of 1897. Total money order increase, 21,390; cash, $89,781.81. As last year was unusually heavy, in money orders the figures for 1898 ard all the more remarkable, Regarding the big increase Money Order Superintendent Lynchey sa'd Wednesday: “It is simply an illustration of the fact the merchants of St. Loufs are on the highway of prosperity. I attribute our splendid showing to the unwonted activity of our business 'nterests. The war seems to have enlivened the times, as the immen<e army supplies shipped from here attest.

A quarrel preceded the volley of bullets, Hennesy was struck in the right shoulder, over the right eye and on the right fore- arm. The doctors have not yet determined the extent of the injuries, It ig believed, however, that Hennesy will recover, as the wound in the head is supposed to be super- ficial. Within the last.few days a blanket_and other artic ve been stolen f Kountz’s stable. Wednesday Kountz found penneay in the stable. He accused him of being there for the purpose of theft. Hen- nesy denied the charge. When further ac. cused he could give no reason for his pres- ence in the stable, it is alleged, and retal- iated by striking Kountz over the head with an iron bar. Then came thé shooting, The last shot, which struck Hennesy over the right eye, felled him to the ground, Kountz put his gun away and explained his work to the crowd that congregated. Later he surrendered to the police and the wounded man was taken to his room, Kountz is held at the Fourth District Sub- Station pending further investigation, The blow given Kountz with the iron bar did not cause serious injury.

MACON, Mo., May %4.—Up to a late hour to-night there has been no trace found of tHe bloodthirsty assailant of the Browitt girls. The two victims of this atrocious at- tack are still in a very precarious condition, and there is a grave doubt as to Annie's, the elder’s, recovery. The younger girl, who struggled with the infuriated man the long- est, and whose head was cut in a dozen places by the sharp-edged hoe, stands a bet- ter charice of getting well, though her face will be hideously disfigured for Ife. An attempt has been made by the authori- tles to ge loodhounds, but they have failed to reach here. The entire ciiy police force and the deputy sheriffs of Macon | Bevier, acting under Sheriff A. J. Glenn, have searched the houses of all questiona- ble characters in the city, but nothing of im- portance has been learned yet. WON BY A CENTRALIA GIRL.

NO NEW REGISTRATION. Immense Loss of Votes Occasioned by the Removal of Those Who Would Vote Yes. Mayor Ziegenhein’s Charter amendment scheme received the hardest blow in its history when it was discovered that there cannot be a new registration before the special election at which it will be voted upon. The registration of last May will have to stand for the special election without re- vision. It is estimated by the experts at the Plection Commissioners’ office that be- tween 25.000 and 30,000 voters have moved since the last registration, and are, there- fore, debarred from voting without fresh registration. It is argued that these thousands who have moved are mainly friends of the Charter amendments, because they are renters and could not but be benefited by the expenditure of money for public im- provements. The increased taxation would not affect them and they would enjoy the benefits of good streets as much as the men who pay for them. This is the reason advanced for the be- lief that the Charter amendments are al- ready beaten. The total vote at the last Presidentia? election was about 126,000. Counting tho loss by moving at 26,000, only 100,000 votes are left. The 66,000 voters who petitioned for the merit system are supposed to be generaily pledged not to support the charter amend- ments in their present form. Two-thirds of all the votes cast are required to pass the charter amendments, which means that at least 66,000 votes must be cast for the amendments at the coming election. With these figures before them the friends of the measure are having trouble bolster- ing up their hopes of success- THE NEXT POSTMASTER. Mr. Carlisle Says He Will Be Ap- pointed About June 15. ‘Tl expect to see my successor appointed says Postmaster James L. and) about June 16, Carlisle. This announcement may cause a sudden flurry in Republican circles, as it was gen- erally expected the postmastership plum would not be given out for some time. A special telegram to the Post-Dispatch from Washington states that the visit of Col. _C. Kerens to the executive man- sion Tuesday ‘had no connection with the prospective vacancy at the St, Louis Post- office. “I’ve served here two months over my time.” said Mr. Carlisle, “and I don't fee: one bit chagrined at having to get out. The Republicans have treated me handsomely, for as a Hickory Democrat you know I am entitled to no favors from them. ‘ ‘“T understand the new man will be ap- pointed June 15, so as to qualify here July 1.’° CREDIT MEN’S BANQUET. ee eee It Will Be Given at the Mercantile Club Saturday Night.

Express Kills Two | Men Near Belleville. CNE WAS STREWN ALL ALONG THE TRACK. THE OTHER’S HEAD WAS CUT IN TWO BUT THE BODY NOT OTHERWISE MUTILATED. WERE SITTING TALKING WHEN DEATH CAME. Fred Biebel and Fred Schmidt Seen Sitting at a Crossing—Then Came the Night Express and Slew Both. Fred Biebel and Fred Schmidt were struck by the southbound night express on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad at Rentch- ler Station, five miles beyond Belleville, Tuesday night and instantly killed. The body of Schmidt was chopped into small pieces. Half of Biebel’s head was ated. Nobody saw the accident and how the men were caught is a mystery. Both young men were 20 years of age. They were employed at the Rentchler coal mine. Following a cnstom they met with a crowd of about 15 young fellows on the depot platform ‘Tuesday evening. The young men of the town have no club- room and they are in the habit of using the platform for their nightly gatherings, playing cards under the depot lamp and amusing themselves in various ways, The company broke up Tuesday night at about 9:30. Biebel and Schmidt walked down the track together about a quarter of a mile to a crossing. They stopped there and talked before separating to go to their homes on op- posite sides of the track. A man passing there at 10 o’clock saw them sitting on the planks of the crossing. A few minutes later the night express passed through at high speed. In a little while another man, passing the game way, saw Bliebel’s body lying by the track witr half of the head torn off. He spread th® alarm. A crowd of men gathered. All that could be found of Schmidt were frag- ments of flesh strewn far along the track. Coroner Shildroth of Belleville was noti- fied. He went out, but in order to get the testimony of the trainmen postponed the inquest until Wednesday. The remains were packed up and brought to the repository of Holdener & Co. at Belleville. The fnquest was held there Wednesday afternoon and a verdict of ac- cident rendered. Young Biebel was a son of Henry Blebel, boss at the Enterprise Mine, near Rentch- ler. The relatives of Schmidt live at Troy, Ill. He had been in Rentchler only about a month. Biebel’s father was in Belleville Wednes- day. He said neither of the boys had been drinking. 28TH WARD REPUBLICAN CLUB. Music, Oratory and Fireworks Pro- vided for Decoration Day.

A mandolin quartette and the vocal quartette of the club will render several selections. There will also be speaking, a band and a display of fireworks. NO GARBAGE ORDINANCE. Consideration of Bills Again Post- poned by the Committee. One of the regular serio-comic commit- tee meetings of the House of Delegates took up the garbage bills Wednesday morning. Nothing was accomplished, owing to acc!- dent or desl and the consideration of what is to be done with the city’s disease- breeding garbage after May 1l—was post- poned until Friday next.

EXPLOSION, CHEMIST KUEHN DEAD AND HIs COMPANION SERIOUSLY BURNED. Re DISASTER AT GRANITE CITY. General Heat of the American Steel Foundry Caused a Tank of Gaso- line to Explode. T. B. Kuehn, the chemist of the American Steel and Foundry Co., at Granite City, who was injured in the terrible explosion told of in the late editions of the Post-Dispatch Tuesday, died a few minutes after mid- night. Morris Eck, John Taylor, John Todd and Ed Fitzsimmons, who were terribly injured, are under the constant care of Dr. F. E. Gulley. The main building of the foundry is in ruins. The explosion occurred at 2:30 p. m. A big tank of gasoline was too near a new furnace, and Chemist Kuehn called a force of men to remove it. As they were pulling it away it exploded. Burning of] was thrown in all directions. Much of it fell on Kuehn, burning him in many places. How any of them escaped death is the wonder. To the presence of mind of J. M. Allison, freight agent of the St. Louts & Peoria line, is ascribed the escape of Todd and Taylor. He wrapped his coat about them and, forcing them in a buggy, drove them to A. G, Schlueter’s drug store, where Dr Tulley was found. These two were the most eeriously injured, with the exception of Kuehn, Kuehn had been Knocked down by the explosion and the burning oil fell on all parts of his body, His companions in their panic trampled on him. He was unconscious when carried to a place of safety. Dr. Tulley did what he could for him, and the management sent him to St. Louis on a special train. Just before the train left Granite City he re- gained consciousness and told his com- panions he would not recover. He asked saa to notify his old mother at Lehigh, a. Five other men besides those mentioned were injured, but so slightly that they walked to their homes. The blazing oil set fire to the building. The two or three puny streams availabie were ineffectual. The tron and machinery in the place was twisted by the intense heat, and it is believed the big electric cranes, which were exhibited at the World’s Fair are damaged. Supt. McRoberts said the gasoline must have been exploded by the general] heat of the foundry. The fire caused great excitement in Gran- ite City, and the wildest rumors of death and destruction were spread. One rumor that was persistent was that Ed West, a brakeman, was killed and that his body was still in the ruins. He could not be found after the fire. Mr. Rolla Wells, president of the company, says the loss is about $15,000. He says work will be resumed in the damaged department in seven or eight days. ATTACKED BY HER BROTHER, Mrs. Keefe Gets a Warrant for Him Charging Assault and Battery. Mrs. Adele Keefe, a refined and well dressed woman, with her face concealed by a heavy crepe veil, was at the war- rant office Wednesday, and procured a warrant for her brother, Lester Green, on the charge of assault and battery. Mrs. Keefe drew back her veil and ex- hibited her countenance to Col. Johnson. Her eyes were black and her face was fearfully swollen. Tears came to her eyes as she told Col. Johnson the circumstances. “My father died last January,” she said. “and ever since then my brother has been drinking and making trouble for me. He came to the house last night and said I was talking to mother against him, and preventing him getting money from her. He knocked me down with his fist. He also beat my 12-year-old daughter, Hazel. My husband is just up from a Jong spell of pneumonia, and was unable to Selene us." The Keefes live at 2617 Olive street. Young Green lives at 1635 Washington avenue. HIS BONES MUST BF TOUGH. Henry Ducker, Run Over by a Wagon, Escapes With a Few Bruises. Henry Ducker, 17, lving at 19 South Fifteenth street, Was run over by a loaded dirt wagon at Third and Washington ayv- enue, Wednesday morning, and strange to relate he suffered no injury save bruises. The wheeis of the wagon passed over his left leg above the knee. Dr. serwrae who dressed the Injury at the Cit Dispensary, regarded it as re- markabile that the boy's leg was not broken. He was sent home and, Dr. Helwig says, will be all right tm a few days. Ducker was driving the wagon when the team ran away and he fell tn front of the wheels. y Chief Campbell -t the Capital. A special telegram to the Post- tch tion witt Walter Vrooman, real estate agent, has moved his office from the Wainwright building to the city jail, where he will transact business, as usual, Vrooman, dressed within an inch of his life, called at the Four Courts Wednesday morning and surrendered to the Sheriff on the warrant sworn out by the Election Commissioners, charging him with the theft of three election booths. He was ac- WALTER VROOMAN, companied by his attorney, Lee Meri- wether. Mr. Vrooman was asked if he wanted to make any arrangeinents for a bond, “No, I don’t,” he replied. “I want to it to jail. After I get behind the bars I'll make it warm for the Election Commis- sioners.”’ The deputy sheriffs never had so swell risoner as Mr. Vrooman, and they didn’ now exactly what to do with him. They looked as though they wanted to apologize. Mr. Vrooman stood around a few moments and finally the deputies recovered sufficient- ly to begin arrangements for the incarcera- tion of their unique prisoner, Before going to jail, Mr. Vrooman and Mr. Meriwether had a consultation with Jailer Huebler, after which Mr. Vrooman announced that he had arranged for his stenographer to be admitted to the fail every day, and that he would carry on his real estate business from behind the bars. “My clients can find me all day here in the jail,’’ he said. ( ‘‘My office hours are continuous.”” I have arranged with my attorney, Mr. Meriwether, to immediately file suit for $50,000 damages against the Election Commissioners, for false arrest and tmprisonment. That’s the reason I didn’t get bond. I want to soak ‘em hard.” Mr. Vrooman then shook hands with Mr. Meriwether and the latter left the Four Courts, The prisoner was taken to the jail, where Capt. Huebler had made arrange- ments to give him an extra clean cell, When he was asked about the charge upon which the warrant was issued, he gald he knew no more about it than did the public. Vrooman is writing a book and he wants the stenographer for this purpose. In addition to carying on his real estate business In the jail he will dictate to the stenographer every day. Capt. Huebler said te Nad consented to an arrangement by which the stenographer !s to be ad- mitted to the screened off space at the fail door. Vrooman will be allowed to come out of the jail proper into this space for his dictation. Capt. Huebler stated that Vrooman would be treated like any other prisoner and would have no extra privileges except the one stated, Vrooman’s dinner came from Faust’s and was sent to cell No. 64 on a eilver platter. Here is Mr. Vrooman’s menu: Green Turtle Soup, 7 ee ©* fe &@ : Porterhouse Steak, with Mushroons. : Spanish Omelette. : Saratoga Chips. Bread and Butter. : Radishes. Lettuce, Chicken Salad, : Pine Apple Ice. Assorted Cakes, In addition to all that there was a pot of hot coffee and a big cut-glass pitcher of lemonade, with pleces of pineapple and strawberries floating on top, together with several sprigs of mint. The mouths of the other and leas fortunate ome ga watered as Vrooman made his meal. “I don’t know who sent it,” said the pris- oner, with a laugh, “but it came in on the hick of time. I think I might do this steak a little more justice if I had a knife and fork, but then one’s fingers can do pretty good eervice, as you see.” Lecture 9n Cuba. D. M.

JUSTICE—LIBERTY-—HUMANITY,- 4 Va : GET DOWN TO REAL WORK. To a layman the wisdom of laying aside all of our plans to gend two fleets in search of a phantom Spanish squadron is not apparent. If we had gone cn with the settlement of the Cuban ques- tion by transporting troops under strong escort and attacking Havana by land and sea, Cervera would have to come out of hiding to the rescue of Havana or admit his cowardice in the face of the world. If he attacked our forces at Havana he would be destroyed and if he failed to do so he would be ridiculous and our plans would be completed without molestation. Grant’s idea was to follow out your own plans and let the enemy do the worrying. Mut since the scare of the coast people has driven our au- thorities into a search for Cervera, let the work be finished quickly, so that we may get to the task of freeing Cuba. In view of the influence of:Spanish bluffs on our plans it might be a good idea to sénd a fleet across the ocean and destroy the remainder of the Spanish navy in home waters. The appearance of an American fleet in the harbor of Cadiz and the destruction of the warships there would be a knockout blow. The impression in Europe of such a stroke would be dazzling. — a «.& =~.

The St. Louls © »r mercial Club administers an emphatic re- buke to the city I*gisiators who ignorel the demand of tne people for submission of the merit sysiem to popular vote. Without regard .‘o the subject matter of their action, the stand taken by the Municipal Assembly in turning Jown a re- quest for submission of an important measure backed by many thousands of voters was insslent and tvrannieal. It Was an insult administered by public servants to their con- stituents and masters. It was an outraseous abuse of tem- porary power. If the citizens of St, Louis should allow it to go unnoticed they would deserve to be overridden and mocked by their municipal representatives in matters of ev2n greater im- portance than the proposed charter amendments. Whether or not the amendments fail on account of the tn- solent denial of the people's right to be heard on the merit System, the men responsible for this denial must be relegated to private life at the earliest opportunity. They must not in any future Assembly have the opportunity to ignore and in- sult the voters of St. Louis. The street railway grabbers have drawn first blood in the Supreme Court. ‘hey will bleed the taxpayers freely if they succeed finally. COTTON AND THE NICARAGUAN CANAL. The commercial necessity of the Nicaraguan Canal is once more emphasized by the publication of our Minister to Siam concerning the cotton trade in the far East. This market {s composed of 600,000,000 dwellers in China. Japan and other Eastern Asia countries.’ It can be occupied and possessed by the cotton growers and manufacturers of the ‘United States, but to facilitate and insure this conquest of peace the canal is indispensable. The cotton can be shipped direct from gulf or Atlantic sea- ports to the Asian ports without breaking bulk, thus saving af ae , -journey around the Horn. = The cotton growing States are especially concerned itn this.

The friendliness of the South American people for the Pmited States was clearly and warmly set forth in the fare- well interview between the departing Brazilian Minister and Pemident MeKiniey. “Fearless before the strong,” said Senor Mendonca, “mag- animous toward the feeble, deeply convinced that justice and rs it are the corner stones of the State and fairness the meas- : of international dealings, industrious, intelligent, law-abid- he and peace-loving, your nation can well be proud of its vement.”’ ia the language of unbounded good will and perfect oe.

Lesueur, State Auditor James M. Seibert, City Comptroller Isaae H. Sturgeon and Mr. Joseph, Franklin, Vice-President and General Manager of the Wm. Barr Dry Goods Co., are known to all people of this city and the West as men of the highest capacity and probity. Auditor Seibért and Secretary Lesueur are the accountants of the great State of Missouri. Comptroller Sturgeon is the financial manager of the city of St. Louis. | Mr. Joseph Franklin is the active, directing resident head of the Wm. Barr Dry Goods Co., one of the largest emporiums in the West. It would be impossible to find four gentlemen more capable of conducting an investigation into a matter of business, or whose statements would deserve or receive greater confidence from the public. Each one of them is an expert accountant. These gentleinen made a thorough investigation in every de- tailofthe circulation of the Daily and Sunday Post-Dispatch for the first four months of this year. This period was select- ed by the committee without suggestion from the Post-Dis- patch. It was an exhaustive inquiry, in which two profes- sional experts, Messrs. J. Percival Smith and James Mulhol- land, examined every book, paper and report bearing on-the subject. * An idea of the thoroughness and accuracy of the inquiry may be gained from the fact that one whole month was consumed in the investigation, with absolutely free and’ untrammeled access to every document concerning cir- culation. The Post-Dispatch is the only St. Louis newspaper which has, through disinterested prominent citizens, made known to the public the EXACT TRUTH about its circulation. The work was supervised by Messrs. Lesueur, Seibert, Franklin and Sturgeon. A full report of the results of the inquiry is published on the last page ‘of to-day’s Post-Dis- patch. It is signed by the members of the committee, who at- test its absolute accuracy. What are the results? For the month of April the average circulation of the Sun- day Post-Dispatch was 123,904 and of the Daily Post-Dis- patch was 119,700. For the month of March the average circulation of the Sun- day Post-Dispatch was 122,463 and of the Daily Post-Dis- patch was 99,463. 7 For the month of February the average circulation of the Sunday Post-Dispatch was 118,550 and of the Daily Post- Dispatch was 102,595. For the month of January the average circulation of the Sunday Post-Dispatch was 111,928 and of the Daily Post- Dispatch was 88,710. During the four months examined the total issue of the Sunday and Daily Post-Dispatch amounted to 12,586,375 copies, ora daily average of 104,886 copies. These figures represent the legitimate circulation of the Post-Dispatch, exclusive of spoiled papers and returned copies from newsboys. TWO-THIRDS OF THIS ENORMOUS ISSUE WERE CIR- CULATED WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE REGULAR CAR- RIER DISTRIBUTION DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS. In the month of June, 1897, the average circulation of the Sunday Post-Dispatch was 62,585 and of the Daily Post-Dis- patch was 67,776. Thus within less than a year the Post-Dispatch has practl- cally doubled its circulation. These attested results of an exhaustive expert examination show that the Post-Dispatch has a Sunday and daily circula- tion unequaled in St. Louis journalism. They show @ growth unprecedented in the history of West- ern journalism. THE FACTS ARE UNQUESTIONED.

I have noticed several times lately, when the other city papers had printed extras, that the newsboys would ery out vocifer- | ously, “Extra!

We Must Be Prepared. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Are the men who are so impatient in the matter of delays as to fighting the ones who are enlisting? Have they sons and brothers in the army? I imagine not. Aside from sentiment, is it reasonable to deluge Cuba with a lot of raw young Ffol- diers, undrilled, undisciplined, half of them without arms or uniforms as yet? This war is not to feed the excitement of peo- ple at home with grand stand plays with- out sufficient cause. In a prize fight the combatants don't go in at a moment’s no- tice—it means months of trwining and preparation, Does not the same apply to so serious a thing as a war, even if it is a war with Spain? We must do our American blood justice by showing a little Yankee common senss as well as our world-renowned Yankee pluck, by thunder! St. Louis. A GIRL English Friendship. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. For the last weeks I have been reading the morning papers. I have noticed that they are stirring the passions of the people against the French nations and lauding Engiand to the skies. What did England ever do for this country? Is she not en- croaching in Alaska every day a little more? Is she not keeping Ireland in bondage as bad as Spain is Cuba? Is it a free country where all the land belongs to the rich and is she not selling coal to Spain? What does she want to be friendly with us for? And why call us Anglo- Saxon when there is more German, Irish and Italian? I would like some one to tell me. FAIR PLAY. st. Louis. The President’s Policy. To the Ediior of the Post-Dispatch. Replying to H. J. Spencer of Springfield, Ill., who signs an article in the Post-Dig- patch of May 19, feebly defending the delay and inactivity of Tresident McKinley in the present war with wily Spain, I wish to say that any person who has read the history of our country and the vigor- ous manner in which former commanders- in-chief defended its honor and struck the enemy telling blows that accomplished something in times of Wer, can readily detect the weakness of ouf present com- mander-in-chief. As to his skilled ad- visers, about all they have done thus far is to pile up the expenses, create confu- sion and wrangle over the different ideas they have as to how the war should be eonducted, ete. Meanwhile, the world is laughing at our confusion and our “Gu.- sie’’ efforts to land troops in Cuba, and the way little Spain keeps us guessing at the whereabouts of their “dodging squad- rons.”’ J.

Missouri Crop Bulletin Shows That Crops Have Been Injured. COLUMBIA. Mo., May 2%.—The United States Department of Agriculture weekly climate and crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Missouri-~section, issued here to- day, is as follows: The week just closed has been warm and during the greater part of the time cloudy, with excessive rains in nearly all sections of the State. Except over a few of the southern counties the rainfall for the seven days ending May 21 exceeded 2 inches, while over a large portion of the State it ranged from 3 to 5 inches, and in some localities even exceeded 6 inches. Very heavy downpours occurred in many places, especially in the southern and western sections, washing out or covering up corn and flooding bottom lands. Severe wind and hailstorms also occurred in many lo- calities, doing great damage to fruit and gardens, and 1n some instances to cer eeage in most of the southern counties the weather during the fore part of the week was favorable for work, and corn plant- ing was finished in many localities and the early flelds cultivated, some the sec- ond time, but throughout nearly all of the central and northern counties rain fell near- ly every day during the week, and farming operations there have been at a complete standstill. There is still a large amount of corn to plant in the southern sections, and in the central and northern couties much of that planted before the recent rails will have to be planted over. Much of the corn that is up is becoming choked with weeds. In many of the northeastern coun- ties only a very few fields have yet been planted, Wheat continues to do well as a rule, ex- cept on low lands, where it has been dam- aged by the heavy rains and overflows. It is now beginning to head in the northern sec- tions, and in a few counties ‘2. made too rank a growth and is falling. Chinchbugs are reported in a large number of the cen- tral and southern counties and have already done much damage in places, In the central and northern counties oats on low and flat lands are being injured by the continued Wet weather, but otherwise are doing well, as are also grasses and flax. Cotton is re- ported looking well in Dunklin County, but in Stoddard it is needing work. Gardens and potatoes are badly in need of cultivation In most counties, Tree fruits are dropping bad- lv in all s@ctions, and reports from the cen- tral and southern counties tndicate that the strawberry crop will be light. Sweet potato plants are being set in the southern coun- tiles. IN GREAT NEED OF WATER. It Is Possible That Peoria May Yet Lose the State Insane Asylum. PEORIA, Ill, May %.—Owing to some difficulty in obtaining water for the new State Hospital for the Incurable Insane, Chairman Mencke of the Board of Commis- sioners says that it may be necessary to do away with one of the proposed bulldings that the money may be expended In putting in a water plant. He says that if the pres- ent difficulty cannot be removed the Gov- ernor may have a new site selected for the asylum buildings. Quite recently the Com- missioners made an agreement with the Peoria Water Co. whereby the latter was to lay pipes to the as}lum through South Peoria. he understanding was that the Village would take so much water if this was done. The villagers now have an idea that the Commissioners and the water com- pany are working hand in hand, and that the effect will be disastrous to them. They therefore, refuse to take any water, an further will not permit the pipes to be laid in the streets of the village. Twenty con- tract from various cities arrived here last t, and the bids on the new asylum bul Will be opened at noon to-morrow. WAGON FACTORY BURNS.

St. Louis, DANGER, THE POPE AGREED TO BE ARBITRATOR, ~~ — —— ,™ vr Spain Issues a Red Book Containing the Correspond- ence With the Powers Ee \ aos a! Seeking to Avert War. ~~ - a r Special Cable te the Post-Dispatch. MADRID, May 25.—The first available copy of the Spanish red book has been re- ceived by the Post-Dispatch correspondent, It contains much interesting hitherto unpub- lished matter regarding the negotiations be- tween Washington and Madrid, and between Madrid and the great powers prior to the declaration of war. Following is the full text of a telegrdphic dispatch to the Span- ish Ambassadors abroad, forwarded by Min- ister Gullon March 22: “The news from the United States can not be considered satisfactory, as McKinley and his Government have allowed the tide to ride considerable, and it is now doubtful whether they have the wish or the power to withstand, In the course of this week we shall know whether the President has taken upon himself the powers of an executive in international affairs or has placed himself in the hands of the chambers, submitting to them the report of the Maine disaster, which will probably be without foundation in fact and hostile to ourselves.’’ Nearly every dispatch has some passage omitted which, presumably, if published, would not have been of assistance to the Spanish case. March 26 Castillo describes an interview with the French Minister Hanotaux on presenting the foregoing note: ‘*T told him that, besides active co-opera- tion, we Wished to secure European con- cert, as this crisis has reached an acute stage, and required prompt action, I thougnt the most efficacious — at the moment would be for France to invoke the tradi- tional international policy with reference to Cuba since the beginning of the century, and should direct herself to England in or- der to propose common action in favor of peace, Hanotaux accepted this suggestion and asked for time to consider and put the matter before the council of ministers.” Merry del Val, the Spanish Ambassador at the Vatican, wrote March 25, on the same subject: ‘“Rampola evinced the greatest impression my information had upon him. He approves the answer your excellency proposes giving to the American Government and praises its calm moderation, Our Government ree- ommends that it should try to persuade the European governments to use their influ- ence at Washington with the end of avoid- ing war.

It was the 218th renewa! of the famous race. The English Derby is worth 6000 sovereigns, or $30,000, and is made up by subscriptions of 50 sovereigns each, half- forfeit for 3-year-old colts; the nominator of the winner to receive 500 sovereigns; the second, 300 sovereigns, and the owner of the third 200 sovereigns out of the stakes, The course is about one mile and a half, Disraeli, by the great Galopin and Dieu- donne, and Archduke were the favorites, and Jeddah’s win was a surprise to many. Jeddah is by Janissary out of Pilgrim- age. He is a chestnut colt, owned by J. W. Larnachs, The race in detail was run as foliows: . W. Ivarnachs’ ch. colt Jeddah by Jan- issary out of Pilgrimage, won. Duke of Westminster's br. colt Batt, by Rhien out of Vampire, second.

Derby Day opened fine and pleasantly cool. There were the usual scenes on road and rail and immense crowds of peopie gathered on the Downs.

The present warm spell creates a demand for something cooler than coal for cooking. Gasoline will not do because of the constant dread of a disastrous accident. This is too trying on the nerves, and of itself, often produces serious results. Gas is the thing. It is fully as cheap, far cleaner, absolutely safe and always ready, The best is always the cheapest, and the Perfect and Puritan Gas Ranges are nov only the best, but the cheapest.

It is more than likely that the teachers’ annuity fund will be abandoned because of the failure of a large majority of the teach- ers to give it their support, A committee appointed by the School Board, consisting of Dr. N. 8. Moore, James L. Ford, Paul T. Coste, Peter Herzog, Mra. Rose E. Fanning and Prof. Francis E. Cook was in session at the School Koard rooms — afternoon, considering the sub- ect, The annuity fund proposition was that each teacher devote 1 per cent of his or her salary to be used in caring for disabled and judigent teachers. There are 1600 teachers and only 262 have gone into the scheme, This is such a small proportion that the fund cannot be started on it The School Board has no authority tn the premises, and is acting merely in an ad- visory capacity in appointing a committee. The problem would be a simple one if tne hoard had the authority to assess the teach. ers for the support of the fund, The objection of most of the teachers tu going into the annuity association is that their positions are not permanent, and they have no assurance that after contributing to the fund for a few years they may not be dismissed by the School Board and-thus lose what they have contributed, They say if they were guaranteed their positions un- til they were ready to retire they would feel safe in supporting the annuity, ee A first-class cook, when out of place, can be empioyed at rapid pace, if her want goes in three lines space in Pust-Dispatch Want ads.

Some Ear-Splitting Yelps Caused an Investigation and Now There Are Irish Setters to Give Away. John Henry Pustmueller, a printer, living at 2111 North Twelfth street, has been nick- named ‘“‘The Humanitarian,” by the Fourth District police, About 6 o’clock Wednesday morning he rushed excitedly into the station with a ———_ ee small bundle in his arms, neatly but secure- ly rolled in'a fancy piece of cloth. He walked up to Sergeant King’s desk, and laying the bundle down upon it, said impressively: “Sergeant, here is a baby I found in the alley back of my house. You had better for- ward it immediately to some hospital or It may die.’’ Nothing but its wee nose was visible, but it seemed to be in anything but a dying condition. lt was kicking lustily, and Sergt. King, who is himself a father, petted it in an affectionate manner, and finally by his fatherly’ caresses, lulled the little thing to quiet. The Sergeant called the wagon, and in- «tructed the driver to take the infant to St. Anne’s Asylum. The driver pieked the bun- die up tenderly, but he must have lacked Sergt. King’s fatherly touch, for the Little darling immediately began to cry. And what a cry it was! Of all the children he had raised, of all the babies he had ever seen or heard, never beforé had the kindly Sergeant heard such a noise emitted from a human throat. It was more like a muffled growl than the _- — = . fully unrolling the cloth, the Sergeant ex- posed to view the contents. Instead of the sweet little morsel of hu- manity he had expected to see, there lay before him as fine a litter of Irish setter pups as he had ever beheld since he left the Emerald Isle, The laugh was on Pustmueller and Sergt. King, and that is the reason every police- man in the Fourth District is smoking a fragrant Havanese cigar this glorious day. RATS ON THE MIDWAY. General Scamper of Pretty Girls in Waiting at Union Station. There was an unusual commotion in the midway at Union Station Wednesday morn- ing, A party of stylishly dressed young women stood at the Wabash gates walting for an incoming traln when four horrid rats met their view. The laughing, care-free g.rls were terror stricken. The rats ran lowards them, and permeated the frills and laces that were just visible above pretty boots. “Oh, gracious goodness!’ crfed the giris in chorus, beating a hasty retreat across the midway. A gateman threw his club at the rata, and “hey flew after the fleein women. The women, thoroughly fr ghtened, scat- tered tm all directions, and ft was fully is minutes before they could be got to- gether again Several elderly women and many little children were also badly frightened at sight of the rodents, Dut the presence of Station Master Jerry Coakley quieted their fears. Two policemen and a detective appeared together in hot haste, having heard that a purse enatcher had been doing the Midway. Mr. Coakley said the rats probably came here on a Chicago stock train.

SHE DISLIKED THEIR APPEARANCE IN THE NUDE. RISKED HER LIFE TO DESTROY WHAT SHE CONSIDERED OBJECTIONABLE ART. CONTINUED HER WORK DESPITE A POLICEMAN. He Was 50 Feet Below Her and Afraid to Trust the Weak Netwook Upon > Which She Had Made Her Way. May 25.—Because Miss Dorothy Mouer, a pretty young woman, does not admire the nude in art, she se- cured’an ax and chopped to pieces a num- ber of groups of cupids which decorated the Fine Arts building of the Exposition. Incidently the determined girl tried her weapon upon several pieces of costly stat- uary whose undraped figures she consid- ered too suggestive for the human eye to feast upon, The young lady performed the feat at the hour of midnight, and throughout the time occupied a most perilous position, hanging out over the grand Court of Honor. Had the frail network, to which she was clinging in order to execute the work with dispatch, given way, she would have been precipitated 50 feet to the stone pavement below. When she had done the work to her satisfaction, the girl descend- ed to the ground, again performing a feat involving great danger. She was met by a big policeman and sev- eral Exposition guards who had been pranc- ing around on the ground below, begging the girl to desist in her work and come down that they might arres er. Several times they attempted to reach her, but the work was too hazardous and the dangers too apparent, so the guardsmen waited the pleasure of the girl. , Taken to the police station Miss Mouer was composed and cool. She said she had accomplished her purpose and was satis- fied. A charge of malicious destruction of property was placed against her. This morning her friends furnished a bond and she was released. The girl was ‘not inclined to boast of the act, yet she was not averse to talking of the matter, She said: “Sunday afternoon I was at the exposi- tion holding religious services, for I am a Lieutenant in the Salvation Army. I was horrified at the picture presented by the groups of nude figures in the grounds. I thereupon registered a vow that with Goda’s help I would at least destroy some of the dreadful pictures of human beings exposed - the gaze of innocent young girls and oys ‘*Monday I visited Miss McCormick, also a Lieutenant in our army, and told her of my plans. She faygred them and last night we went to the KE: sition grounds early. We carried a short-handied ax. But the uards were watchful and we remained in liding until nearly midnight. Then we ap- proached the high fence. The top is covered with barbed wire, which tore our clothes and flesh terribly, but we managed to get over. Then we found a long ladder leaning against one of the buildings. I think it was the Fine Arts Building, at least there was where the worst figures were seen Sunday. “Miss McCormick remained below as a sentinel. I clambered up the building, but the ladder was too short by 30 feet. Then was forced to make my way on my hands and knees. I cut all the figures [ could find all to pieces. I crawled from one side to anothér and, though dizzy and sick, 1 managed to accomplish my work. In the meantime the police had _ been aroused and surrounded the building. Miss McCormick fled. We had intended to cut all the statuary in the grounds to pleces but perhaps we havé done enough and the good people of the city will now force the remaining nude figures to be draped. I do not care what is done with me.”’ The young lady is very pretty and bright and *has many friends in the city. he groups of statuary destroyed were very valuable and are utterly ruined, pieces be- ing scattered all over the building.

She was referred to the Mayor. Uncle Henry passed her on to his son and secretary, Adam, who did not give her a permit because the law makes no provi- sion for permits to violate the law. The lady says, however, that she was told to go ahead and carry a pistol, Mrs, Green says she has heard of many women riders being run into by careless drivers of ve- hicles, and she gives it out that she will have no hesitancy in puncturing any man who ignores her rights as a wheelwoman, PERSONAL MENTION.

NOLAN WAS SIXTEEN YEARS IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY. ——a_ NOW CHARGED WITH MURDER. Has Been a Member of the Missouri Legislature and the St. Louis Fire Department. There is one prisoner in the Four Courts Jail who reads every line of war news as intently as the most diligent student of affairs. He is William J. Nolan, who will be called before Judge Zachritz June 7 to stand trial for complicity in the murder of old Jacob Weinand. Nolan has a life story that would form an interesting page in fiction. When 14 years old he left his home at Belfast, Ire- ing@® the ocean he attached himself to the United States Navy, and remained continu- ously for 16 years. When Nolan appears for trial his attor- ney, Charles J. Maurer, will lay stress upon EVERY INCH A SAILORLIFACE SPLIT IN the naval record of his client, believing that | ee a ee ee WILLIAM J. NOLAN, fj Z Ss | AS A “SAILOR~ | land, and went to sea. Shortly after tak- in these times of war almost any American jury will listen to the story of patriotism with merciful ear. In many respects Nolan is the most inter- esting prisoner in the jail. At sea he had many adventures, traveling through all parts of the world, His last service in the navy was on board the United States Cor- vette Marion. Leaving the navy in 1882, Nolan located in St. Louis, and soon be- came a member of the Fire Department. In that capacity he distinguished himself by daring bravery. A more lucrative postition in railroad work prompted Nolan to leave the Fire Department, and he subsequently resigned that place to go to Jefferson City as a member of the Legislature from the Third St. Louls District. He was a mem- ber of the 35th General Assembly in 1888, and several of the laws now on the statutes were introduced by the man who must now be tried for his life. ; “after his career in the Legislature, Nolan was appointed a United States customs in- spector by President Harrison, which place he held for several years. Nolan declares he is innocent of the crime for which he is to be tried, and he appears hopeful of acquittal. If he is acquitted he says he will immediately make an effort to get back into the navy, to atay until the last Spaniard has been forced to surrender. The trial of Nolan will attract much at- tention, because of several remarkable fea- tures connected with the case. The detec- tive department is working hard to bring about his conviction, and Attorney Maurer is equally energetic for the defense. “Truth must conquer persety and official scoundrelism, and I feel that shail be vin- dicated,”’ says Nolan. —— SECRETARY TO THE CHIEF. ee ee John W.

OF POVERTY MRS. MARGARET AMES AND THREE LITTLE DAUGHTERS IN DISTRESS. LIVING ON SCRAPS AND HUSKS. In a Squatter’s Cabin Near Forest Park Boulevard the Family Are Sick and Hungry. Mrs. Margaret Ames and her three little daughters are suffering for the necessaries of life in a shanty near Forest Park boulevard and Sarah street. The husband and father of the family, Matthew Ames, died a week ago Jast Sunday of pneumonia and consumption, and Mrs. Ames is just recovering from pneumonia, The three children, Mamie, Rosie and Ella, are aged 12 and 4 years and $8 months respectively. The only regular support they have is $1.60 worth of provisions given them every week by the Cathedral chapel parish. This is hardly enough to keep them alive. It is supplemented by scraps from the tables of the rich and well-to-do, collected by the oldest child, Mamie, The Ames live in a shanty whieh stands in a squatter’s colony on a vacant lot at the southwest corner of Forest Park boulevard and Sarah street. It is a ramshackel affair, constructed out of a variety of materials. The floor is the bare earth. There is no glass in the win- dows, which are merely holes in the walis, without the protection of even shutters. Great cracks in the wells tet in the air and the rain. When it raing the floor be- comes a sea of mud. The f'rniture hardly deserves the name, A tumble-down bed, a badly constructed couch, @ broken-legged chair or two, the wreck of a baby carriage, a cracked stove— these are all. The door, sagging on its hinges, stands open day and night. There is no reason for locking it, since there is nothing worth stealing. Mrs. Ames and the children are clothed in rags. Their faces show the 9 of wholesome food. They are listless in look and manner. When a Post-Dispatch reporter called at the shanty the next meal—a heterogeneous mass of cornbread fragments and stale white bread crusts, lay on a newspa on the floor. There was no table.

LOUIS, —_ A Texas dispatch says that harvesting is well under way in Texas and Southern Oklahoma and that the hum of the harvesters is heard in every me ction. The yield is large and the wheat Is said | e of excellent quality aa Dallas (Tex.) ateateh says that reports from a dozen or more counties in Northern Texas claim that balf of the wheat crop was destroyed by the tornado Friday and the following wind and rain. As this was merely a local storm, the reports afte probably greatly exaggerated. The weekly weather crop bulletin issued by the Agricultural Department says: ‘‘Winter wheat dur- ing the past week has made excellent growth and continues to improve in most States. The op is now heading as far north as Central Kansas, Mis- sourl,.IJinois, Indiana, and harvesting has begun in Georgia and Texas. Spring wheat is in generally good condition. The crop has been improved by rains. Oats are geyjerally in good condition, Corn has been delayed by too wet weather.’’ The different State crop bulletins regarding corn are: Illinois—Continned wet weather has retarded corn planting somewhat and some early planted has required replanting. Nebraska—Corn has been much retarded by wet weather and all farm work has been more or less delayed. Kansas—Corn planting seriously deinyed by rains. In the interior counties corn is up, but fields getting very weedy. Corn jlanting i» finished in three-fourths of the State, Missouri—Corn planting finished in the south; hoth- ing done in the central and northern part of the State. A Seattle (Wash.) dispatch says: ‘‘The Washing- ton wheat crop, because of the timely rains, is ex- pected to exceed 20,000,000 bu. The Great North- ern Railway is making unusual ore to handle the grain, the buik of which ll go to the Orient.’ Beerbohm says wheat from India during May, June and ise to equal or exceed 1.600.000 bu. There is also sald to be plenty of wheat yet to come ) A from Argentine. The Italian imports of wheat during April were 4,376,000 bu, as compared with 864,000 bu last year. A Chicago exporter reports two cargoes of corn, recently bought by the other side, canceled this morning. Opening cables were: Liverpool—Spot wheat dnll; futures steady to 4d higher. Corn—Spot- quiet, wd lower; futures quiet, London—Wheat eargoes arrived off coast, in moderate demand; on passage, firm, offerings light. Corn cargoes off coast, nothing doing; on passage, firm, offerings light. English country markets firm. French country markets steady. Paris—Whert 5 cms lower; flour 15 cms higher. The Brinson-Judd Grain Co, were advised to-day that the first car of new wheat of the season of 1898 was consigneé to them from Texas and is now en route. It will arrive in St. Louis next week. uly -prom- Stocks of Grain in St. Leuls Blevators. Wed’ e § Rag ge ae a.

TO THE PUBLIC: ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 20, 1898. The undersigned were requested be the Pulitzer Publishing Company, to examine the Circulation Books of the Post-Dispatch, and to take any methods the Committee might select to carry out the above object, so as to ascertain the present Legitimate Paid Circulation of said Paper. On April 20, just one month ago, the Committee accepted the duty imposed upon them, and after due consultation decided to employ experts to go into a detailed examination covering at least Four Months. Messrs. J. Percival Smith and James Mulholland were selected by the Committee to go through every book, paper and report bearing on the subject of circulation, and these gentlemen have been daily at work for nearly one month on the circulation of January, February, March and April, 1898, at all times under the immediate supervision of the Committee. In the pursuit of this inquiry the Committee was given every facility for a complete and exhaustive examination into all departments of circulation. We called for and were given all books, papers, accounts, statements and reports bearing on circulation, and the investigation was extended over a period of time sufficient to thoroughly examine every detail of the work, to the complete satisfaction of the Committee. The Committee found that the actual distribution of papers, exclusive of all copies spoiled in printing and copies returned daily by newsboys, was as follows: 88,710 Average of Sunday Editions in January . 88,7 Average of Sunday Editions in February 102,595 Average of Sunday Editions in March 122,463 | Average of Daily Editions in March . 99,463 Average of Sunday Editions in April 123,904 | Average of Daily Editions in April 119,700 The entire issue during the four months examined amounts to Daily and Sunday, 12,586,375 copies, or a daily average of 104,886 copies, fully two-thirds of which were circulated in the City of St. Louis, or, more accurately speaking, within the limits of the regular carrier distribution. We find that the total returns on the above from all sources averaged 15 per cent. We find that of the 15 per cent returns 54 per cent was from the City Circulation and 9+ per cent from the Country. The remarkably small percentage of returns from the city is due to the fact that in statements of City Circulation it is a rule of the Post- Dispatch to eve only the actual cash sales to carriers and newsboys. ob aa s's's a's’ oe > > > >. * > > > . s-s°'s:s se 8 . tan ta ee > MO) hed ~ _u,8 ad db bd et Yo it ) 56 "sia. = oe rt, ‘s's Z sate . a a* a - a’ OLE +2 +9 4° eer * os tate _ > - . > . a . . . . ‘a\e POHAHIOHIOL Pe eee es © > . > . * > . * > =. 8,8) 8 8:6. 8.8 8 8 a ee. > >. * 7: 8 > * ae aoe een ot cn * ae? em * an ® ot bd ee * *¢+e24¢e42 > > «'s's'a*s* Pin deaede tp. a + “ “ . a“ . “~ ° ye ee ee ee > +. — 2e be be oe . ee a * 111,928 | Average of Daily Editions in January 118,550 | Average of Daily Editions in February “4 . > . > . . 5.8.8.2 ,.82.8_.8,8.8°e@ s- +e ee eeeoe ~ 2.8.8 8.8 \s:\s°: he he o> ve vee os eee ° oe « 7.2.8. 8.8. «, o . . 7 . » * ¢ o e e @ * # «, w = a + « J ¢ * «. & ¢. * + o @ 6 ¢ = ¢, om © 2 ¢@ * * @) e & P 4, » > , > > . a > _ . > 7 > > > . _ . > > * > _ 2.8.8.8 ,.82.6.8,.8_.8_8.8. 8 8 ee ee ee “*s *: Pe Pe ee ee ee > *-¢ 2» 4s 7 ‘ere2 *¢ 7° +9 bad 79 *9 7-9 > oe ee ee ee x > 4 *; ‘ s. 7?
