V' 1 3; A- BARRELOF GOLD. Somebody Has Stolen It on Its Way to Europe. Between New York and Paris Si'0,000 Disappears. 'TWAS A CLEVER THIEF Who Took It, for no Theory of the Theft Appears to Ba a Tenable One. Paris, July 81. The police of France are in-estigating what ia probably one of the most remaikable robberies on rec ord, and it is bel eved that the police forces of the United States will be asked, if they hava not already been so re quested, to take a hand in the investi gation. In some unaccc untable manner a cask of goid from New York, valued at $50,uuO, has been stolen while in transit from Havre to Paris. The French line steamship, La Tou raine, Captain Sa.itelli, left New York on July 21st lor Havre, with forty casks of American gold on board, valued at 2,000,0' V and consigned to various con cerns, t he arrived here July 29. The forty casks of (troll are believed to have been safoly landed at Havre, and they ar also said to have been placed, tu ple te, on board 'he train running be tween Havre and this city. lint when the precious casts were counted upon arrival here, there were only thirty-nine of them; on csis-k, contain:ng &50,00'J in American gold, had" by some means dis appeared. The disappearance of the cask of gold has given rise to a number of police theories, the strongest being that the gold was followed from New York by expert th'eves, who patiently awaited their chance to a bstract one of the casks. The cask of cold must have weighed nearly 200 pounds aud even a very strong man could pat have carried such a load alone for any very great distance. Among, the theories being investi gated is one which may turn out to be correct. It is that the thief or thieves hid himself or themselves in the car in which the gold was subsequently placed, and that while on their way to Paris, one cask of gold was thrown out of the train and the robbers jumped after it. GOLD SHIFHiKH EXCITED. Th New York Coniioor Can't Account For the liobbery. New YoitK, Jily 31. The report of the robbery of the cask of gold shipped from this city by the steamer La Tou faino, has caused considerable excite ment among gold shippers here. There were three consignments of gold by La Touraine on her latest trip. Two con signments of twenty casks each, the value of which was $2,000,000, were ship ped by Lazard Freres of this city, and were consigned to Lazard Frerea Co. of Paris. One i-.d iitional shipment of ten casks was made by Messrs. Heidel baek, Eickleheiner 5c Co., to the Credit Lyonais and was valued at $500,000. No tbporv'a.i U how the robbery was committed could be advanced by the steamship agents. The specie, they say, is invariably placed in the string room, which id real ly an enormous safe. DRIVEN TO CRIME. .Miner at Crlppl. Creek, Rather Than Be Arretted, lleoonie Handitti. Denver, Col., July 31. One result of the late warlike strike at Cripple Creek is the organization of a band of robbers who have terror zed the country in the immediate neighborhood, and the out break of trouble- more bloody than the rgeent strike is among the possibilities. When it became known that Sheriff Bowers was to be permitted to serve warrants and make arrests, those leaders who felt that their actions would be pun ished with heavy penalties fled the camp. A party of them numbering ten or hf teen organize 1 themselves into a band, and ever since havo demanded suste nance from the surrounding ranchmen. They are mounted ou stolen horses and make raids, seising cattle, ppultrv, horses, auvthing that will serve their purposes. Last Sunday th"y rode into the little town of Victor, demanded what they wanted and then boasted that no one in Victor ould stop thern. Dr. J. Wiley Coliins was the only man who had the courage to defy them." Having no firs arms, he attempted to borrow a gun, lut fear prevented any one from complying with his request and he waj obliged to digest his indigna tion. So serious have the raids become that a viffilance committee is being organ ized to drive thi robbers away or exter minate th. -v. It is also said that Sheriff Bowers is iv?t.nizing a posse of deputv sheriffs to r oceed against them. War rants for every member of the gan have boon issued for acta conirniued dur ing the strike.

Washington, July 31. The increas ing importance of tue militia for quell ing international disturbances and its potentinl strength in case of threatening war, has led General Curtis of New Yrork, who is an enthusiast on military matters, to embody his plans for a na tional military organization in a bilL The bill has received the sanction of the house committee on miiitia, and, al though probably it will not secure a hear ing this seaon, may be called up next session. General Curtis proposes that the militia shall consist of every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of IS and 4.1, the organization to be known as the national guard of the states, und the un organized as the reserve militia. The organization of the former would be made to conform as closely as possible to that of the regular army. The national guard, according to the plan, could be called to action by the presi dent or by an act of congress,, while only an act of congress could call out the reserve militia, tho president having power to call upon the governors of states for the nt-eded forces of the guard in case of invasion or dan ger of invasion from foreign foe3, Indian uprisings, or rebellion agaaist the auth ority of the government, specifying ia his call the period of servic e required with the limitation of nine tnonths. The reaervo guard or militia, when in service, wouid be subject to the same rules and articles of war as tho regular troops of the United Statea and would be entitled to the same pay and allowance. For the maintenance of tho militia or ganizations, the plan contemplates an an nual appropriation of $10 0 X, to be up portioned among the States and territo ries, and to be disbursed for ordnance and stores, under the direction of the secretary of war, no state being entitled to a share unless it has enlisted and uni formed at least one hundred men for each senator and representative in con greM to which it is entitle L Provisions for annual encampments under the su pervision of oifceers of the regular army are made, and various perrons are ex empted fioin service; officials of the gov ernment, marines and employes of rail roads used in military or postal service, being the principal classes.

Los Angeles, Cal., July 31. United States District Attorney Dennis was to day shown a Washington dispatch in which it was stated that Attorney Gen eral Olney has decided to dismiss the suits recently begun in the federal court by Dennis against the Southern .Pacific and some thirty-live railroad companies. The suit is in the nature of a petition in equity and alleges that the railroal com panies named have unlawfully combined in restraint of trade and commerce. 'ihe Washington dispatch quotes the attorney general as determined to dis miss tjje suit, as he had not authorized it, and is displeased that such action was taken by District Attorney Dennis. Den nis was astonished" when shown tha Washington dispatch, and said; "I have heard nothing of the kind," said he, "nor have I received any inti mation to that effect." "Will you dismiss the case if Mr. Olney orders you to do so?'' he was asked. "You can easily understand that I cannot discuss such a point at present," he replied, and that whs ail he would say. Mr. Dennis is convinced of the justice of his tig suit and is eager to push it. MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS. Ta Convention They Arraign the Demo crate and Eulogize Jamas Dlln. Grand Rapids, Mich., July 31.

Most of the Chinese Are Killed or Drowned. Japanese Knew How to Handle Their Guns. Shanghai, July 31 10 p. m. News has just reached .here of a desperate bat tle between the fleets of China and Ja pan, in which the Chinese were de feated and the Chen-Yuen, the largest battle ship but one in the Chinese ser vice, was sunk, and two other large Chi neso vessels, said to be lirst-class cruis ers, were captured or destroyed. The battle was hotly contested, but the Japanese appear to have haudie 1 their guns, ships and torpedoes with more skill than the Chinese. The Chinese lleet engaged carried nearly a thousand men and a larger num ber of them are reported to have been killed or drowned-. Later dispatches say that few, if any of the Chinese engaged in the battle had escaped. Two German officers, in com mand of the Chen-Yuen, are reported to have met death with tho crew of that vessel. Tue Chen-Y'uen was a battle ship of 7,4'JO tons displacement, carrying four teen and one-half inches compound armor at the water line. Her battery in cluded four 12-inch truns, protected by an armored breastwork and two smaller Krupps. 'She was also furnished with eleven llotchkiss cannon and tubes for whitehead topodoes. In addition, the Chcu-Yuen had inch and six inch Krupps in her maiu oaitery, and a secondary battery of llotchkiss revolving cannon. Tho Chen-Yuen was built for China at the Stettin works; she was a sister ship of the Ting-Yuen and was the most powerful ship in the Chinese navy with the exception of the Ting Yuen. BAD FOH MISSIONARIES. The Vnreat in China Laadi to Serious Disturbances. San Francisco, July 31. Reports from Hong Kong show that there is much un rest both in north and south China, and that the outlook for foreign missionaries is bad. The anti missionary disturbance is reported from Kityig Yin, on the Yang Tse Kiang, .but a far more serious affair occurred at Shek Lung, near Tung Kun, on the Pearl river on June tiO. In this instance the American Presby terian church was demolished by the mob and one chr stia i, whether a for eigner or a native hxi not been ascer tained, has been killed. The Roman Catholic church was well guarded by Chinese soldiers and it is a fact worthy of notice that here, as at Kiang-Yiu the Catholic missionary escaped scathless while the Protestants suffered heavily.

Eight Companies Leave Pullman Militia men Threatened With Discharge. Chicago, July 31. Mayor Hopkins wired Governor Altgeld at noon today asking him to recall eight companies of the First regiment I. N. G. This order removes three of the six companies now at Pullmau, and leaves but one company on the Illinois Central tracks, that at Fast Hammond. The mayor said that he felt satisfied that the three companies left at Pullman could maintain order. The Second regi ment, stationed at the stock yards, will be le.ft there for the present, and the mayor refused to say wnen the remain ing companies at Pullman will be with drawn. The action on the part of the mayor was the result a conference between him. Vice President Wickes of the Pull mau company and Adjutant General Oreuodorlt of the I. N. G. Vice President Wickes did not expect trouble, stating that the company was making no effort to secure new men, and that he expected the old etuplqyes to eventually return to their places. Some comment has been caused by the fact that certain members of the militia have been informed by their employes triat if they did not return home at ouco they could consider themselves dis missed. A morning paper tells the fol lowing story: A soldier stood on guard at the main gate leading into George Pullman's car factory lor lour hours yesterday morning. The sun was cruelly hot. The man was wholly unprotected from its rays. The sweat poured down his face; he held a heavy gun until his arms tremoled from nervous exhaustion. But he stood there, patient and uncomplaining, from 0 o'clock until 10. Then he was relieed by a fresh sentry. As the tirst sentry moved away from his post an orderly came up with the coiupauj's mail. He gave the soldier a letter. Opening it tne militiaman read: "To Private, Company M, First Regiment, Pullman. 111.: We are hiring clerks, not toy soldiers, and unless yon can return to your desk lit the usual time Saturday morn ing your place with us will be for feited. We can no longer afford to allow the interests of which you have charge to suffer by your absence. This is tne second waning we have giveu you, and it is the last. W e saall expect to see you at the time mentioned. Respectfully, Co." The strain of guard duty, the intense heat, and the suock of tnis letter were too much for the sentry. His lips trem bled, his eyes tided, and he fairly broKe into sobs as he spote. "My God, if they lo this," He said, "I am a beggar. My wife will be turned out of the house. I am dependent wholly on my salary, and if that fails I am help less. No man can get another place these hard times." The young man's companions gathered around him and tried to comfort him. Some of them said they would make up a purse for him auouce, and several put themselves down for liberal amounts, considering the small amounts at their command. It is said that a score or more of the militiamen have received similar notices. TO GET M' WILLIAMS. Writ of Habeas Corpus Demanded I'or Him This Afiernoon.

Welch, are Mc AVilliains' attorneys, and City Attorney Tillotson is detailed to present the case of the police.

Breidenthal May Stop the Pay ment of the $8,000 To the Cholera Fund Grabbers by Injunction. MAY RECONSIDER IT. Executive Council Likely Rescind Their Action. to How the Other Two Thousand Dollars Went. The members of the state board of health known as the "Cholera Fund Grabbers" are likely to experience some difficulty in getting hold of the 55,000 the executive council has placejl at their disposal. Chairman Breidenthal, of the Populist state central committee, who yesterday expressed himself as opposed to that kind of a grab, is now talking of enjoin ing the state board of health from using any oT the $3,000. The law passed by the legislature through which this special appropriation of 10,000 was made to be used in keep ing cholera out of Kansas provides that before this money can be drawn from the state treasury the board of health must make an itemized statement of all ex penditures, and the voucner must be ap proved by the governor. An examination of the records in the treasurer's and auditor's offices will show that in using the $2,00 of this fund which was squandered to protect us from the cholera in New York last year, the money was drawn on ordinary checks antl not an item was mentioned for which it was used. From the demands of the law on that subject it might bo expected that every item purchased in the ;way of disinfec tants and other expenditures would be recorded w ith the vouchers on which the money was drawn, but not an item is re corded not even the smell of carbolic acid or any other disinfectant liugera about tno records. Chairman Breidenthal now proposes to see that the law is complied with iu every respect if any part of the remain ing $8,000 is used, and if an attempt is made to draw from this fund without fil ing the required itemized statement. The state board of health has already used all but $3 of a special sanitary fund of $500, which was appropriated by the last legislature for that purpose and the record of where it went shows that the largest part of 'it went directly into the pockets of the members of the board of health. Here is where the $497 went: II. D. Hill $20, J. P. Me wart $12.1, L. M. Powell $5.15, Frank Swallow $'JS, L. M. Powell $f3J. P. Daugherty $S, A. J. Anderson $0, J. W. Jenney $11.7.1, .II. A. Dykes $97.60, J. P. Stewart $10, Thos. Kirk Jr. $18.50, E. Swartz $7. Balance of fund on hand $3. All but two ot the persons drawing from this fund are members of the board of health. Dr. L. M. Powell, who is not a member of the board, was paid $61.15 for making analysis as state chemist, and Thos. Kirk Jr., not a member, got $18.00 for other services. State Treasurer Biddle said today that he believed the fund could not lawfully be used for other than the purpose for which it was intended by the legislature, and that was the reason h-e voted "no" and had his protest entered on the record. About tho state house today it was freely stated that the four members of the executive council who voted to allow the board of health to use this fund would now like -to vote the other way and would declare that they never had taken any such ac tion were it not for the fact that Governor Lewelling and State Treas urer Biddle will protect themselves by insisting that the record stand but will allow the other members of the board to vote with them on a reconsideration if they so desire. It is possible that a special session of the executive council may bo called to reconsider this action. CHOLERA AT MARSEILLES. It Is Epidemic There aud Deaths Increase Dallr. Madrid, July 31. The Spanish consjul at Marseilles having telegraphed that cholera is epidemic there, and that the number of deaths daily is very large and that the authorities are concealing the actual situation, the government has ordered stringent precautions to betaken at all Spanish ports on the frontier.'

STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING. JULY 31. ISO L 2 THE SEIIATEVAVERSt At Least There Are Some Sins It Will Yield. Senators Flooded With Indorse ments of Cleveland's Course. HATE SOJIE EFFECT. Senate Really Appears to Pay Attention to Tiiem. Washington, July 31. For the first time since tha tarilf has been in con ference there were signs of wavering in the strong line that has stood be hind the senate bill. "Senate bill or none," had been re peated during1 the day, but less frequently and with less emphasis than heretofore. The only explana tion for the brief conference yester day is the fact that the house con ferrees feel the situation is chang-iDg-in their favor. There are many reasons advanced to show this state ment has a g-ood foundation. It is known the mails and the telegraph are bring-insc to the Democratic sena tors urg-ent appeals to pass a bill which will not favor the trusts and which will be in line with the demands of the party platform. In fact, these requests upon senators are indorsement of position of the president and the the the house in the main points of difference. That these telegrams are having effect cannot be denied, and have caused the senators who are most in sistent upon the senate bill, as reg-ards coal, iron ore and sugar, no little concern. The house members also find considerable comfort in their analysis of the spesches made by the Democratic senators when the con ference disagreement was before the senate, in which they find that but one Democrat besides Mr. Hill made any pledjye of his vote, and that was Senator CafTery, who declared that if the Louisiana sugar interests were not protected he would not vote for the bill. Isone of the other senators, it is claimed, burned the bridg-es behind them; none of them declared abso lutely that they would vote against the bill if the one-eighth differential on sugar was not retained, or if the duty on iron ore and coal was stricken out. But, more than this, many of the senators declared their desire to obtain a bill wh.i-.jh would secure forty-three Democratic votes. It is pointed out that none of these sena tors, not even ilr. Caffery, have placed themselves in a position in which they cannot siipport a bill if it is returned without a differential pro tect. on to the sugar refiners and with coal and iron on the free list. It is known that a great deal of pres sure is being- brought to bear on the Democratic eonferrtes of the senate to report an agreement with modifica tions of the princiral items, a com promise being suggested to the extent of a Cat ad valorem rate on sugar of 45 per cent, with an extension of the bounty to January 1, 1895, free iron ore, coal 40 cents a ton, with a re ciprocity provision that coal shall be admitted free from such countries as grant free admission to coal produced in the United States. While this proposition has nov been submitted with any assertion that it is an ulti matum of the house conferrees, there is a great deal of talk that such a proposition is likely to be presented. This, it is believed, will secure the Tote3 of the Louisiana senators, tha two Populists, Allen and Kyle, and Irby of youth Carolina. In that event it would take three other Democratic senators besides Hill to defeat the bill, and the house members declare the number cannot Ve found. Conferences among Democratic load ers in the senate arcl between these senators and Democratic members of the house were frequent during1 the day after the conference adjourned, and they were held with the view of harmoni.ing the difference if possible. The Democrats met in formal confer ence again to-day. Va tor day in the Senate Washingtox, July 31. Tha senate wore an aspect of peace and serenity yesterday in striking1 contrast to the excitement of last woek. Vice Presi dent Stevenson hal returned and oc cupied his accustomed seat. Among the bills introduced was one by Mr. Allen to provide for the issue of f 50, 000,000 in treasury notes to bo dis tributed pro rata a nong" the states "for the relief of the worthy poor." It was referred to the finance com mittee. The report of the conferees on tha agricultural appropriation bill an nouncing; agreement on all the amendments but the one appropriat ing $1,003,000 for the extermination of he Russian thHtls was agreed to. The senate formally insisted on this amendment and sent the bill back to con ference. The snndr3' civil bill was presented at the senate and w.ll be considered to-day, and Mr. Cockrell gave notice that the deficiency bill would be re ported to-day. The house Dint resolution farther extending the appropriations until August l-t was passed by the senate. The senate adjourned at 4:50 p. m. 1 tie I tout. Washington', July 31. Beyond the passage of a few uniraportant bills by unanimous consent nothing' was done by the house yesterday. Mr. Bou telle offered resolution congratulating- and recognizing- the Hawaiian republic, but on a point of order it was referred to the committee on foreign affairs. Two hours were Fpent in an attempt to secure the adopt. on of a special order for tha consideration of Mr. McEae's biU to protect public forest reservations, but the Republicans, by absenting tht-mselve'j, succeeded in forcing an adjournment. Under the fact of March 3, .1893, tha president reserved publie timber land from aia a.ad disposal and set them aside for forestry purposes. Th total number of acres so reserved ag gre gated 17,564,800 and included lands in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colo rado, 2s ew Mexico, Oregon. AVashiej ton and Wyoming-. The bill for which consideration was sought yesterday empowered the secretary of the in terior to cell under restrictions no exceeding- 50 per cent of the timber of commercial value on these reserva tiona, to regulate the occupancy of the same and protect the same against fire and depredations. The house ad journed at 3:45. Court for the Jndin Territory. Washkgtos-, July 31. The senate passed the bill yesterday introduced some time ago by Senator Telier, pro viding additional court facilities for the people of tha Indian Territory. There were soma important amend ments to the original bill. The bill as passed, divides the Ia dian territory into a Southc rn aw Northern district, each to be pr es'd over by a judge. Judge Stuart, t present judge, is to have what :s known as the Southern district whic h is made up of the Choctaw and Chick asaw nations, while the Northern district is made up of the Cherokeo, Creek and Seminole nations. In the Northern district only one place is designated for holding- court, and that is Muscogee. Oklahoma City r.Hlitary Keserratlon. Washington', July 31. The confer rees on the bill to donate to Oklahoma City the military reservation adjoining- that town agreed upon the various i amendments vesterdav and made their report to their respective houses. Later in the day also the report was also agreed to by both the senate and the house. The bill is now ready to go to the president, where it will doubtless become a law in a few days. The bill, as finally agreed upon, do nates the whole reservation to the city as it passed the senote. Wonld Not Answer Suar Trust Quest ion Wasuixotos, July 31. Mr. Seymour of the brokerage firm of Seymour Bros. Young- of New York was again, before the sugar trust investi gation committee yesterday. He per sisted in his disinclination to answer the questions of the committee as to whether senators had invested in sug-ar stocks through his firm, and did not add any information of any kind to the inquiry. Another National Park. Washixotov, July 31. Senator Squire of Washington, has presented a memorial to congress for a rational park on the Pacific coast surrounding the celebrated Mount Eanier, near Puget Sound. A .large number of scientists are interested in this pro posed park, and have assisted in pre paring the memorial and given a cordial indorsement to the plan. The House Cant-as Time Set. Washington, July 31. The t me for the house Democratic caucus has been changed to Thursday afternoon. A report that members had withdrawn their names from the petition in sufficient number to cause the caucus to be abandoned proved incorrect. Representative Brookshire withdrew his name on the ground, it is said, that to-day was too early. "Wilson Says He Can Prove an Alibi. Nevada, Mo., July 31. Joseph A. Wilson, who resides with his parents in the north part of Vernon county, was arrested here yesterday by o di cers from Colorado, and will be taken back to that state to stand trial as one of the men implicated in the tar and feather outrag-e on Adjutant General Tarsney. Wilson but recently re turned from Colorado, where he as sisted the sheriff in putting- down the mines' 'strike. Wilson denies that he was in any way implicated in ttie Tarsney affair, and says he, will be able to prove an alibi. Uncle Sam Will Pay the Ti!l. Chicago, July 31. The ckims of property owners on Grand boulevard have been sent to Washing-ton by General Miles. Fifty thousand dollars is the ag-g-resrate amount asktd by the owners of the properties by the explo sion of the artillery caisson Julv 10. The board of officers appointed by General Miles, it is said, has recom mended the payment of nearly all the claims in full. Jealousy Causes a shooting, Kansas City, Mo., July 31. Georrre Raffert was shot and fatally wounded last nig-ht by Wiilia'm C. Hasten on the sidewalk in front of Mrs. Charles Wischroppes rooming house at 510 Independence avenue, in which they both resided.

GAS TANK EXPLODES. 500 Pound Piece of Iron Thrown Several Blocks. Minneapolis, Minn., July 31. Tha third disastrous fire in the history ot Minneapolis broke out about 3:30 yes terday afternoon in the lumber yards of the Shevlin-Carpenter company on the bank of the Mississisni river at the foot of Eig-hth avenue, north. It spread with remarkable rapidity, and before it was controlled destroyed property valued at nearly 300,000. Besides 20,OjO,000 feet of lumber, the gas manufacturing- plant of the Omaha Railroad company, the round house, tooihouse, sandhouse and turn tables of that road, nearly forty freig-ht cars, some loaded with mer chandise, and the office building- of the Shevlin-Carpenter company, were burned. The auw mill, the planing mill, drying- kilns and store house for molding- and preparing-wood, althoug-h in' the very heart of the fire district, were saved by the efforts of the fire men, aided by a fortuitous chang-e in the direction of the wind. llelp was summoned from St. Paul and seven engines with full crews were sent over from that city. The insurance will be about 8350,000. The fire has caused the greatest ex citement and broug-ht tens of thou sands of people to the scene from within a radius of a score of miles. It was not long- after the blaze was first noticed when the heat became so intense that the crowds were forced back, and it was well they were, be cause in less than a hour two tanks containing- gas used by Omaha Railroad company in liffr g its ears, under the Pintsch syst i, exploded with terrific force, hurling- frag-ments of steel a long- distance. One piece weighing fully 500 pounds was carried several blocks and dropped in the railroad yards. A sta tionary boiler also exploded but caused no loss of life. Employes of the railroad company, at the risk of their lives, and with hands and faces blistered by the fearful heat, rushed into the fiercest of the flames and saved ten dead locomotives and nearly 100 cars, many of them emerging from the sea of flame, charred and damaged by the maelstrom of fire through which they were brought. Incoming and outgoing trains were delayed several hours, the fire being a short distance from the union depot. Revised figures place the loss of the Shevlin-Carpenter company at S'210,000, with insurance $160,000. The loss to the Omaha railroad company, includ ears. is nearly $-00,000, covered by blanket insurance. Losses by cars burned belonging to other companies will swell the total to upwards of 500,000. Common wealers Liber ted. Kansas City, Kan., July 31. The last of the commonwealers who were sent to the county jail in this city by the United States court six weeks ago, for stealing a train in Western Kan sas, were released to-day. There were three of the twenty-four left. The rest had been released in squads of three during the past week. All of them are lingering around the city. and as soon as their brethren who are con fined injailsin othercitiesin thestate are released they will congregate here and reorganize for their journey to Washington. Several men from Leavenworth and Atchison have already arrived, but nothing will be done in the way of reorganization until they all get here. The men say they will elect a general from the ranks, and that none of the old offi cers will be permitted to go with the army to Washington. Santa Fe shops Resume at Ottawa. Ottawa, Kan., July 31."-The big whistle atthe Santa Fe shops belched forth its noisy summons to work yester day morning for the first time in three weeks. While the shops have been running in a dilatory way most of the time, no whistle was blown, and its blowing is taken as a signal to the public that the shops are formally opened again. Investigation reveals that most all the departments have an almist full complement of men, a large majority of whom are strangers here. The company is st.ll recruiting its foic3 and the shops will soon be running to their full capacity. A majority of the strikers are still in the city and holding meetings and pass resolutions almost nightly. Military Commissions Issued. Jefferson City, Mo., July 31. Gov ernor Stone has issued the following military commissions: A. M. Casy, captain, and C. C. Kcllog-g, first lieu tenant, company B, Third infantry; II. C. Beardsley, second lieutenant, Company F, Fourth regiment. Cyclone In Oklahoma. El Reno, Ok., July 31. News from El Reno report a terrific cyclone visited Watonga. county seat of Blaine county, last night, destroying many buildings, ruining crops and injuring a great many persons. The town was badly wrecked. Debs Comiitr West. Kansas City, Mo., July 31. Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway union, is expected to arrive from Indiana to-day for the purpose of addressing- members of the A. R. U. to-night. Jew Yorkers for OTcKinley. New York, July 31. Republicans of the Seventh assembly district of this city have organized a club which they call the McKinley club of the Seventh assembly district. Webb HarriSjdruggists, BecaeU' Flats i CATCHING UP. Chli-ajo .Railroads P epiort Increased Business In Freight. Chicago, 111., July 31. East-bound hipments last week amounted to 7,255 tons, ag-ainst 29,146 for the preceding- week, and 49,831 for the corresponding- week of last year. The roads carried tonnage as follows: Michigan Central, 5,275; Wabash, 1,478; Lake Shore, 7,020; Fort Wayne, 6,742; Pan Handle, 7,416; Baltimore Ohio, 8,973; Grand Trunk.5,056; Nickel Plate, 5,327; Erie, 4,735; Big- Four, 1,233, To tal, 47,255. Shipments were made up of the fol lowing articles in tons: Flour, 1,387; grain and mill stuffs, 14,322; pro visions, lard, etc, 13, C01; dressed beef, 6,3S1; butter, 2,142;,. hides. 2,175; wool, 1.43S; lumber, 4,624; miscellaneous, 985. Total, 47,255. The amount of freight handled last week is about what the roads, were handling before the strike, and shows that they have recovered their own and are new doing as much business as before they were crippled. The chief item in the traffic of the "Western roads at present is live stock, which stock raisers are hurrying to the markets as rapidly as possible. The scarcity of corn and the destruc tion of pasturage in the Western states by the heat form the principal reasons why the stock-raisers are rushing in their cattle. If the stock shipments maintain their present average it will be only a short time before the price takes a tumble, as packers hare at present about all they care to handle, and there seems to be no signs of a let-up in the traffic. GAMBLING IN CHICAGO. Tbe Grand Jury Files a Report Scorch-ins- the 1'ollco Department. Chicago, July 31. A grand jury has filed a report in court, saying: 'We find that gambling is being car ried on to its fullest extent in Chicago, with doors wide open and cappers and stool pig-eons plying- their vocation to catch the unwary, for the purpose of fleecing any victim who. happens to fall into their hands, and that the heads of the police department of this city are giving some of the places mentioned below ample protection from arrest and prosecution. A list of places at which it is al leged that gambling- is being carried on is appended. The jury gives as a a reason for not returning indict ments against the proprietors of these places that the assistant state's attor ney informed them that it would be be impossible to secure convictions. The assistant state's attorney denies having made this statement. lie says he merely told the jury that it was difficult to get testimony which would result in convictions. A GREAT CORN CHOP. New From Missouri and Kansas is En- couriering- for This Grain. Kin G8 vtlle, Mo., July 31.

Burrows has been unanimously renominated for congress for the Seventh Michigan district. The nomination was by a rising vote. The general lines of road in the Wisconsin forest fire district report the danger past, and the fires subdued to where they will not cause further damage.

STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENINGJULY 31 1894.

MAY STAYTILL FALL. It is Feared Congress Won't Ad journ Till Then. Tliosa Who Had Arranged to Leave Were Premature. A Till AN G UL Alt FIGHT. Much Interest in the Trriff Bill Struggle. Washington. July 31. Special. Alas, alas! It looks as if we should have to s Tid far oiu- uutumn suits, take a reef it; our sweated linen and read city pastor als for consolation whilo the three cornered issue is fought out. Only 10 days ago members verw calling in their engage ments, shippii.g their surplus documents and notifying reception committees at homo to git tho brass bands ready, for Aug. 5 was thu expected date for adjourn ment, and any cno speaking of a later date than the 15th was scouted as a malig nant. Some TO members -were gone, and many of them did not expect to return. Tho recent vctj on the Tucker resolution for a constitutional amendment was only l',)2, although some effort was made to get votes, and these interested in it say this indicated over 100 members absent from the city. Many others had arranged to leave soon, being assured that a quorum would rexnaln for the final business. Anil now ccmes in this three cornered fight of president, senate and house, and 60 at least tho Democrats say adjourn ment is indefinitely postponed. Therefore, as aforesaid, alas! The Consistent Party. Several of the old Republican members, however, offer us a deal of comfort. They say they have seen many such struggles, and they laugh ut those defiant Democrats who talk of staying hero all summer. Sev eral whose judgment ought to be good de clared when the controversy was at its hottest that t.ie houso Democrats would yield before tho close of this week. The Populists ure all of opinion that the house will yield and say that in private conver sation Democratic members are fond of using such expressions as ''half a loaf is tetter than no bread" and arguing that this bill is only a beginning anyhow. On this point i-.s well as on some others our Popul ist friends ought to have the credit of being the only thoroughly consistent party. From the day it was introduced they have laughed at tho idea of this bill being- a. final. ty and have declared, to quote the language of Senator Kyle: ''The tariff discussion its now fairly opened and hereafter will be debated on its real merits. Nearly all tha bus been said on it so far is mere claptrap. As if to give point to tha controversy, tie treasury deriartmcnt re ports thau for tho fiscal year just closed it Las paid to the sugar men bounties amounting to v i'- 850, 000. 'i lio Trcasnry lUlancc. This weoU f! ls' tho treasury balance is In round numbers $124,000,000 of which it;i,oijo,000 ut y in g-Did, leaving r. nominal ly available currency balance of $63,000, OOU. Fior.i this, however, must be taken tho $,0L-0, 000 for interest due July 1 and nut yet paid out. This great increase in the available balance has been due entirely to th $:O,C?0.OOd recently paid on whisky taken out cf bond, but when the confer ctv.'o committee agreed on a tax cf $1 per gallon, instead of the $1.10 in the house bill, tho receipts fell suddenly and heavily, and since thi quarrel between the two houses began they have sunk below even tho usual li gurus. Customs dues being at their lowest, and still decreasing, and re newed export of gold being reported, tho situation ut tho treasury i3 rot cheerful, and the conservatives say that all they have to do is to wait till tho people are heard from, w hen tho house will be moral ly compelled i o accept tho senate bill in ordr to get moio revenue speedily. Business o a routiuo character goes right ou and quite -.s rapidly as usual Tho house emphasized its quarrel with the senate ndi pting, and on the very day after tho president was so fearfully de nounced in tho senate, the Tucker resolu tion for tiio election of United States sen a'ors by popular vote, and the ma ity was 141 to CI. Tho ycaa consisted t 12:1 Democrats, 11 Republicans and all the Populists present; tho nays, c f 5 Demo crats und -iij Republicans. Ana here again tho same sectional division appeared as has marked so many votes on finance and iiscal mea.su res gen .'rally. Of the Republicans voting yea only two came from east of the Mississippi, aid four represented the new est states, while of tho Democrats who voted against io all were eastern men. Besides the .xencral provision the only im portant point in the amendment is that in case of vacancy tho governor shall issue writs of election, just as if it were a vacan cy in the lower house, unless the legisla ture of the state provide that the govern or may make a temporary appointment. Certain Matters. Tho naval committee continues to dig out interesting facts, while the ordnance men and tho makers of armor plate every week present nioro astonishing results. At the last trial S.5 pounds of Leonard nitro glycerin sine kt less powder in an 8 Inch rine produced the astounding velocity of 2,050 feet per second in a 250 pound pro jectile. Tha test brown hexagonal powder hitherto used hus given a velocity of 2,100 feet. The otlieials claim that our navy has now securoU u smokeless explosive far su perior to thai used by any other navy in the world. At the same time the plates pradaccd by the Bethlehem (Pa.) works stood every test, and tho government ac cepted tho o0i) tons in bulk. The senate committee on sugar contin ues to proooed slowly. It divided at the start on party lines, Senator Allen stand ing by himse.f, and while he agrees with Senators Gray and Linsday so far as they go ho makes a separate report of such con clusions as ho has individually arrived at. He declares tdaS the Sugar trust has con tributed to the campaifn fund of both the old parties on tho understanding that it was to be protected by the victorious par ty. 1I also says that Senators McPherson and Quaydii speculato in sugar stock during tho pendency of the present tariff bill before thu senate; that a senator can not vota impartially in 6uch a case; that the ad valcreai system was satisfactory to the trust, which probably had some influ ence in secur.n-j it, and that thero ought to be string ?nt legislation against con gressmen boiling stock in any institution which ia to b) fkiXected by their votes. Ha his n groat deal to say about "the .&ca oX ur authority by the Mers. Edwards, Scnrver, vvukcr, Chapman, Macarteny, the Ilavemcyers, Searles and others" and recommends a general law by which witnesses refusing to testify before congressional committees may be summa rily dealt with, as in a emi t of justice un der like circumt-tcuces. Thise are only the principal points in a very pointed report, find it is at least possible that this senate will approve of it, instead of the so called majority report. 'II A SOUTH SEA DITTY.

i !EWS OF KANSAS. Strange Congressional Candi dacy of Gen. Hugh. Cameron. A Conductor Held Up and Rob bed at Newton. OTIIElt STATE NEWS. The Santa Fe Ajrentat Tahnage Suddenly Disappears. Lawrence, July 31. Two weeks ago the following circular was issued and sent over the Second Kansas congres sional district for publication: "Gen. Hugh Cameron of Glen Burn, Douglas county, Kan., will bo a candi date for congress in the Second district, state of Kansas, for the ensuing term, a3 the nominee of the George 'Washington Corps of Home Protectionists. He will Le the independent trarnp candidate and the management of his canvass will be wholly free from the popular partisan methods. Tho decalogue and the golden rule will be recognized and as carefully observed aa possible under existing cir cumstances of partisan demoralization. "15y order of George Washington Corps of Home Protectionists. "Grace E. Smith, Sec." The announcement attracted little no tice at the time, and hasn't become gen erally known yet. There is no organiza tion as that purporting to be backing his candidacy, and the secretary whose name is signed to the announcement is that of Gen. Cameron's sistet. Besides the deca logue and golden rule, which Gen. Cam eron proposes to make part of his platform he has added the Declaration of Independence. These, as a platform, he proposes to go through the entire congressional district on foot and organ ize the people into a new labor organiza tion, which he has determined will be the Abraham Lincoln Labor Union. He proposes that this union shall be wholly devoid of politics in every way, and that it shall have as its cardinal idea and ob ject the enactment into law of certain declarations of Abraham Lincoln. It is Gen. Cameron's plan to visit every farm house in the district. He will carry with him a large number of his own pictures and also pictures of Jesus Christ and the holy family, with his platform and declaration of principles in such a form that they will be left at every place he visits. Two years ago Gen. Cameron built a shed on the bank of the Kansas river just north of Lawrence, and there spent the entire winter season. He was on a public highway and put up numerous signs and in other eccentric ways at tracted the attention of passersby to hid teachings and theories. FELL tJIVDJin the whekls. A.

Mills, the agent oi the Santa Fo at this place, has disappeared suddenly, and without any assignable reason.

The railway company did not know of his departure until this morning, when a man was sent to take charge of the othoe. His accounts are found all square and there is no apparent reason for his action. It is reported, however, that his mind has been affected heretofore, and it is thought that he is suffering from mental aberration. PIT A PISTOL IO HIS HEAD.

While one of them was getting a drink his companion slipped in the cashier's office and opened the money drawer and took therefrom some $50 or $60 in money and five checks amounting to about $20 more.

In this bulletin the farmers will' be told how to kill the thistle and if those who are interested will send their ad dress to Secretary Coburn he will send them a copy of the bulletin so soon as it is printed. AT TIIE WRONG HOUSE. A Hack Stops In Front of Mrs. Ivler n ii's Houe. Mary E. Kiornan appeared at police court this morning, and complained that a hack had stopped in front of her house on East Fourth street last night at an un seemly hour, and that the occupants of the hack had demanded entrance to the house, saying that there were two girls there they wanted to see. As there was no one there but Mrs. Kior nan and her niece, and as Mrs. Kiernan is no girl, she had a right to think there had been some mistake and ordered the hack to go away. The occupants of the hack, whom she did not know, persisted in their efforts to disturb her rest for some time before they could be induced to take themselves away. Hence the war rant. It is for the arrest of lid. Tiavers, who is supposed to have been tho hack man, and John Doe, who represents the person or persons in the hack.

The ghostly visitant dresses in the regula tion white costume and makes its ap pearance upon the stroke of midnight, just as other ghosts have done many times before. It possesses one charact eristic not ascribed to the ordinary spook. It does not walk upon air but on the other hand its tread is described as "heavy." The "thing" whatever you may call it made its appearance in Topeka elite society on an evening of last week. A well known family living between Huntoon and Thirteenth streets on Topeka avenue are responsible for the story. The senior members of the family were sitting on the porch en joying the cool evening air and waiting for the young folks to return from a party. The silver gong of the clock struck twelve strokes and the family con cluded to retire, when an exclamation from one of the women drew all eyes to the street. Every heart seemed to stop beating as a tall figure clothed entirely in white moved south on the paved street until it reached a point directly in front of the house. It then stopped and gazed steadily at the occupants of the portico for several moments. Then it turned and slowly walked south on Topeka aveuue and disappeared. The ladies who saw the apparition did not sleep that night. Nothing more was heard from the ghost until Sunday evening.when a young colored man by the name of Roberts, who was returning from a visit to his girl who lives on tho east aide, was walking west ou Thirteenth street. Just before he reached Topeka avenue he saw a white figure cross Thirteenth street and slowly continue its way southward. "Jly feet seemed glued to the ground," he said, in talking about it, "and I couldn't take my eyes oil that white thing. When my feet did let loose I didn't do a thing but run. I did not try to cros that street till I got clear down to Fourth." THERE'S 310HE THOU RLE. Asylum OIHcliala Come Near Knrfinif a ltuw by Illowi. There was more trouble at the asylum yesterday afternoou and it was only through the intervention of employes that a fight was prevented. The trouble was about the comVina tion to tho safe which is 'kjept by the book keeper, K. A. Morley. The steward James Butler and Dr. 'ucC'asey went to Morley and demanded tho combiuation of the safe. He refused to give it and a quarrel ensued which became very heated. .Morley had u ciub and Butler held a large jack knifo in his hand. The employes who were in the room interfered. !MorJey then open ed the safo and Butler was allowed to take what he wanted, but Mor ley held ou to the combination, aud came to the city last night and consulted a lawyer, who advised him not .to disclose the combination. The sate has been used by the em ployes for the deposit of their papers oi money, but no one except .Morley had known the combination for years. The right on Chief Kngmeer F". M. Brown has abated, but is noi, over. The men say they did not sign a statement asking that their names be taken Irom the petition requesting an investigation of Brown's conduct, but retracting some thing derogatory which was said about Hinshaw, a member of the slate board of charities. Emancipation Day. There will be a celebration of the emancipation of tho West Indian slaves, at the city park, August 1, by the colored people. There will be speaking by J. G. Wood, H. C. Safford.

Jonas IXCBEASIXG THE ARrfT. Geo. SehoSeld, U. 8. A, thinks our reg ular army of 25,U0J men is far too emalL Gen. SehoSeld thinks it shoald be in creased to 60,00 at oacA Why stop at 60,000, General? WLy not make it 500, 000? As the increase of the array is to keep down the riotous unemployed, what better plan could be suggested than to make the unemployed keep themselves down by getting enlisted into the army where they could at least get $13 a month and board. That is more than probably 2,OjO,000 of men are tow get ting. Of course it would be expensive to support such an army, but as we are rap idly approaching the pauper labor wage scales of Europe, we cannot expect to escape the other half of the European wage system which is a big standing army. The big armie3 of Europe are not maintained by the nations there to pro tect themselves from each other so much as to keep the labor ing classes from rising in their anger and upsetting things. Tha pauper laborers of Europe periodically get tired of making wealth for king3, duke3, duchesses and the "upper classes" to squander; their black bread and wooden shoes become irksome to them ouce in awhile; then they threaten to overturn the established orderof thinpa; and a big army, like the one General Schodeld pro poses, ia a convenient thing to compel them to return to their black bread and wooden shoes, and to convince them that they have no business to bother their heads about government and such things. Of course, if wages keep on going down in America as they have been since this goldbug congress threw silver into the ditch, they must eventually reach the European standard. When that time comes, General tochofield's army of 60,000 men may come in haady, or an army of 5u0,00J men as suggested. These fine old generals, Scholield and O. O. Howard (who, by the way, is a great Sunday-school leader and doesn't believe iu bloodshed) are pining for an occupation. The armies are not large enough and there are not wars enough to suit these martial old graybeards. It is too bad that these piping times of peace give these aged but enthusiastic geutlemen no opportunity to exercise their military valor. They need an army of at least 60,000 men and if there be no foreign foe to lead them against these senile and sanguinary old gents are per fectly willing, as we have it from their own mouths, to lead their cohorts against American citizens and shoot them. The army should be increased to 500, 000 men at once just to please Messrs. Schofieid and Howard. BROWN AS BAD AS IXGALL3. Col. John M. Brown, the dict'.i.guishf-d leader of the colored people of Kansas, who assumes to act a3 their mou'h-piece, has taken serious offense at ex-Sjn.uor John J. Ingalls' suggestion of the depor tation of the Africans as a solution to the ever present race problem. Colonel Brown is a little late in making a public manifestation of his feelings on this sub ject, but perhaps he has ben nursing h;3 indignation all these years thai it might wax strong, and great, and ftill with mure telling effect upon the devoted head of Mr. Iugall3. Perhaps again he has teen waiting until there are no more offices in sight. The people of Kansas would have a higher appreciation of Colonel Brown's position on this subject, and more faith in his sincer.ty, were it not fur the well known fact that he has but recently leen advocating the same thing that he bo vigorously condemns ia the ex-United States senator. To be sure Colonel Brown wanted to colonize his race in Brazil instead of in Africa, but the principle is the stma There is one very important difference in the two schemes, however, an 1 that ia that the colonel proposed to lead the ex odus to Brazil himself. New, Col. Brown has had a larg-e experience in the exodus business. He conducted a movement of that kind from the sotith to Kansas in aid it paid. Contributions of money, food and clothing, poured in from all over the land to aid tl? poor suffering destitute colored people thai, had been driven to seek refuge in Kan sas from the wrongs inflicted Lv their oppressors in the south, and when they had nearly all been provided for an I there were not more tlian a djzei left at the "barracks' near the Saata Fe junc tion depot, the large two story building at the southwest corner of Gordon and Kansas avenue was yet tilled fro n ceilur to garret with clothing and provisions, and members of the Freedmeu's Aid as sociation were traveling over the coun try asking for more. Viewed from the standpoint of past history it is not surprising that CoL Brown should object to having what he has evidently come to regard as one of his inalienable rights interfered with. If there is any deportation to le done he wants to be regarded as the chief de porter. He evidently intends to head an exodus of his people somewhere, but whether into Brazil or into tho Populist party is not yet fully determined. He would perhaps encounter less rivalry in the latter movement. How's TIs!.I We offer One Hundred Dollars reward for any case of Catarrah that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrah Cure. F. J.

HE WILL SOT INVESTIGATE Any Farther Thn Be lias Done Per sonally He Answers Catetcorlealljr the Charge That Hare JBeen Hade. Governor Lewelling, who has gone out on his campaigning tour has through his daughter given out a statement rela tive to the penitentiary investigation. In this statement he says: "There will be no further proceedings. All this chatter about the penitentiary is the re sult of a conspiracy on the part of a few fellows who have been discharged and who have a grievance. They serv ed notice on me last spring that the warden had to go, and if he was not removed tbey would call to their aid influential friends in the party and I would have to suffer the con sequence. 1 told them I did not wish to shield the warden in any wrong doing, but from all that could be learned the administration of the prison seemed to be a striking success. 1 reminded them of the difficulties to be encountered in suddenly changing the entire working force of such administration and starting off toward success with nearly a hundred untried and inexperienced men and that it seemed to me the warden deserved commendation rather than censure from general principles. "However, I expressed a willingness to give a hearing to all or any who felt ag grieved, and charges were riied against the warden near the close of the month of 3Iay. These charges were referred to the board of directors in accordance with section 5, chapter 152, session laws 1891, which reads as follows: "It shall be their duty (meaning the board) to inquire into any improper conduct wuich may be al leged fo have been committed, by the warden or any other officer of the peni tentiary." ''lhe complainants were notified that they should appear before the board and tile evidence, this they declined to do, alleging that the board would not give them an impartial hearing, and further demanded an investigatiou under sec 59 58, page 1835, general statutes 1889. 'Under this statute they no doubt hoped for a prolonged trial and witness fees for an extended period, but I did not feel justified in incurring an expend iture of -l,500 or $2,00 and especially objected because there was no appro priation with which to pay. "When the board sat to hear the case, the complainants, notwithstanding they had been regularly subpoenaed, refused to appear, a few witnesses for the defense were examined and the warden acquit ted. When the charges are analyzed, it is apparent that only two or three are of a serious nature, all the facts about the coal mines were easily obtained by in spection, and some time ago I sent an ex pert to make an examination, and now have his report on file. The testimony taken fully exonerates lhe warden in in every instance, 'lhe only charges of importance were numbers 1, 2 und 3 of those brought by the chief clerk. "The first of these charged that the warden had taken money from the ap propriation for boarding1 purposes, and invested it in hogs the charge itself does not state except by an ingenious inference that the warden received any pecuni-iry advantage from this transac tion. The warden admitted having made the purchase of hogs and the testimony showed that the state had netted thereby a profit of $495.32. "The second of the chief clerk was that the warden had settled a claim against the Armour Packing company, collecting a rebate on the purchase price cf ten thousand pounds of bacon. The clerk claimed that the settlement was recorded, and the inference was that the warden had received the money. The amount involved in this transaction was twenty-five dollars. In this case the board discovered that the chief clerk himself omitted to make the proper en try upon the books to show that this amount was due from the Armour Pack ing company. The books of said com pany did show the proper credit and the niouev had simply not been collected. The amount was collected on June 9, 13i h "The third charge was, that the war den's daughter, Carrie, drew pay as an assistant keeper, contrary to the rules of the institution. To this the warden ad mitted that his daughter had been em ployed as cashier and assistant in the office; and he also showed from the records that it had been the custom of his predecessors to em ploy Borne one in this capacity. Tnis to some extent involves the charge of ne potism, which has been made so general in reference to this institution. His daughter Carrie as stated was employed fur a few months, and the younger son earned the mail for a while, but neither of them have been on the pay rolls of the institution for some tim, and the en gineer, John, is the only member of the Chase family who receives pay from lhe state." LOCAL MENTION. T.ev. L. Blakesley received a telegram last night announcing the death of his mother at Waterbury, Conn, the was over 90 years old. Hon. C. J. Brown, secretary of the State Bar association, says the report of the proceedings of the last annual meet ing of the association is now being pub lished. The report has been delayed by tiie failure to receive promptly some of the addresses delivered at the meeting. The address of Henry Wade Kodgera has jut arrived. Alexander Hardin, wife and daughter left last evening for their old home in Glasgow, Scotland, where they will re side in the future. They have lived here for three years aud during that time Mr. Hardin has been employed as a machin ist in the Santa Fe shops.

Now, however, the people down there get trains every day but Sunday. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of western and southwestern railroads, held at Chicago, the following resolution waa adopted regarding the mileage to be charged for the handling of freight cars: "That, commencing with August 1, 1894, the mileage on all classes of freight cara interchanged between railroad companies, including private cars and excepting refrigerator cars, should be one-half cent 0c) per mile ruu; that the matter of refrigerator car mileage be referred to a committee of three, to consider how a reduction may be effected in the rate on refrigerator cars, and that they also consider the question of mileage to be allowed on poultry cara and tank cars, returned empty, and report thereon at the next meeting of the executive committee." Forty-four roads are affected by the res olution, including the Santa Fe, the Rock Island the Missouri Pacific. The Santa Fe will run another one of its Sunday trains to Kans8 City next Sunday from McPherson, Florence, Em poria and Topeka. The Santa Fe shops worked the regu lar present force all day Saturday. The Rock Island will run a special ex cursion train from Topeka to St. Joseph next Sunday, leaving here at 7:20 a. m. and returning the same evening. The round trip fare will be 1.50.

STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING-, JULY 31, 1894. 15 HE IS JUGGED AGAIN. Club-keeper Me Williams Arrested By the Police. WIS LET OUT FROITHE C0U5TY JUL On Bond, mtf Jlsa 'ot Fled tlie CUT as C'2lcf JUIadMey Arted. Club-keeper John H. Mo Williams who gave bail and was let out of the county jail last Friday was re-arrested last even ing by the police oa the charge of sell ing liquor. At about 5 o'cIjcSs; Mc Williams was seated in the sheriff's office when Ser geaDt Steele entered. Steele said, "Hello, Mac; come here I want to see you." Mc'Ailliams complied and went out into the hall and was arrested on a warrant and marched down to the police headquarters, where he was locked up. In the police court today his case was continued uutil next Thursday and Judge Enamintrer tixei oil bond at $300. Ex-feheriif John WiUeraon accompa nied M. Friahman, oae of McWilliams b jodimen, to the police headquarters to day and mide a f J-mal demand for the release of McWilliams, showing the bond duly sitrnei and accepted. The chief looKed at the bond and said: "We won't let him out on tUaf." It is doubtful if McWilliams can give an additional $500 bond. McWilliams intends to bring habeas corpus proceed ings to secure his release. The police guard him closely, and the officers around the jail hae instructions to let no visitors see him. The motives of the police in making the arrest are not so lofty as to be above criticism. The charge against hi in is selling liquor, on which McWilliams practically admits in his affidavit, charg ing the pohce department with receiving hush money. Taeri are a dozen other jointists as'gsillty as. McWil:iani3 out on bond, but tiiey are not molested by the police. It therefore appears evident that retaliation or intiniilatioa is the motive that prompted the arrest. A couuty officer slid to a Journal re porter today: "The police arrested Mc Williams to intimidate him. They want to get him to take biok; what he has said, or make it awful unpleasant for him. They will find h"m guilty of selling liquor, and then say to him: "If you will get out of town and not testify as-ainst us we will let you out: but if you come back we will make you serve out your sentence on the rock pile.' They think this will be some inducement for him to back down. The police alo made this move to scare out the other jointists who were in danger of making aflilavits against them similar to McWilliams." About HcWUllinw' Relaase. McWilliams' bondsmen, are M. Frish man, a clerk in ljitenson's store, and John W. Dalton, of Wamego. Mr. Ual ton qualified in the sum of 1,400 and re turned to the sheriff a list of all his per sonal property to show that he is "good for it" Sheriff Burdge says there waa nothing lrntfular about the release of Mo Williams that he B'.mplf gave bond and waa released. He re oeired no privileges at the county Jail and was cot even a trusty. Deputy Bherif? Tom Wilkersoo went np to Wa mego with McWilliams to get bond and the fact that McWiLiams stayed around Topeka and was expecting to go to work in the Santa Fe machine shops soon, would not indicate that he intended to jump his bond. Srheriff Burdge says Chief Lindsey doesn't know what he is talking about when he says McWilliams was "spirited away secretly." However, no information waa given to j the newspaper reporters of any of the Topeka dailies that McWilliams had been let out of jail, and they did not learn of it until Mot day. If representatives of the newspapers were informed more promptly of matters pertainiog to the co arts it might prevent false impressions from being given out GEOltGE AND FRANK. X li Hack Hulin.iil Isn't Good N o w A Light Oocltat la Police Court. This morning was too sleepy to allow a very big crowd at police court, and there was an unusual absence of the reg ular attendants on the benches before the bar. Even Smcky Iiow had been neglected. George Butts was the first man called. George owns a hack and leases it to Frank lleudrickn. Frank seems to have been a little behind with his rent and Bntt3 went down to the Santa Fe depot to see about it Frank said that the time3 had been hard and the street car competition had been so damaging to his business of late that he really didn't have the money to spare jut then. George said he was very sorry and so profuse did the two friends become in their expressions of regret that George now carries a black eye and Frank ha a hole in his pants leg where George had playfully insert ed his knife blade to show how sharp it was. Police Officer Ly'le arrived just then, and, being in a playful mood himself, he also joined in the sport. It was hard, to tell which Lad the best of the game, and after mature deliberation it was decided to leave it to a board cf arbitration, which should consist of Judge Eniming-er. After hearing all the evidence the judge decided the game against Hendricks and he lost bis bet of lis e dollars to the city and paid it. George was released. Thomas Wilson is a little man with an erect carriage and bumps on his nose that occur with the regularity of hic coughs, was charged with having been in that lackadaisical condition weii understood by all members of the guz zler's club.

Largely Destroyed in the "Western Part of the State, BUT GOOD II THE EISTISI. The Mot Wind J1& Very ttreat Dam- are as Far East as Saline County- fcsxxl EaUi In the Eastern Tier. The reports received in Topeka during the last few daya from unofficial though reliable sources all agree that the dry, hot winda which have been blowing over Kansas for a week have worked great damage to the growing crops, and in most of the extreme western countie.-, and even as far east as Saline county, everything ia said to be "burnt up." Railroad Commissioner W. D. Vincent, who came down from his home at Clay Centre last night, says: "Everything is as dry as powder in Clay county, and although we still have some late corn which is not burnt up, it will soon go if we don't have rain. The early corn is all gone." Railroad Commissioner John Hall, who made a trip west over the Union Pacific last week, aays the farmers are cutting their corn up for fodder as far east as Warnega Mr. Charles S. Martin of the Republi can state central committee office force, who came in last evening from Salina, saya everything in the way of crops is burnt up in Saline county, and the out look ia the worst that county has ever seen. W. 1m Brown of Kingman, secretary of the state senate, says upland corn in Kingman county ia badly burned, and will not make over half a crop, while bottom corn is yet all right Travelers from farther west say that everything is completely burned up from S afford county west, although there are spots even in the western portion of the state where local rains have bright ened up the prospects very materially. The eastern part of the state particu larly the two eastern tiers of counties were visited with good rains Sunday and as usual a good corn crop will be raised in eastern Kansas. Secretary Coburn of the state board of agricultate, who will in a few days is sue his erop, report for July, said to a State JpRnaIi reporter this morning: "It would certainly be a very ignorant or very dishonest person who claimed that the recent extremely warm and drying weather had not worked se rious injury to growing corn over a very considerable portion of Kansas; in fact there are many localities where the crop must be practically a failure. On the other hand there is much territory where the conditions have been favorable every day of the season, and there the crop promises all that oonld be desired. Kan sas can be counted on for many millions of bushels, and of course the distribution aa to yield will be very unequal; some counties are likely to have a generous surplus, and others I fear almost none. "Various of the best corn counties had not suffered materially before and on Saturday night and Sunday they had raina sufficient to insure the crop. It is 0, ohamoteris&ic of our people to make extreme estimates. Those who raised wheat are almoet invariably threshing out a heavier yield and of a better qual ity than they dared hope for six weeks ago and I anticipate many counties where corn has been and is reported as "all burned up" will yet be boasting of their 'good crop."

Redden has a tale of woe to tell about being refused a recommendation by Mastef Car Builder Hodge of the Santa Fe, because he had worn a white ribbon during the strike trouble.
