10 CENTS A WEEK. m CY'S EVIL EKE. The Kansas Boss Has Fixed It on Chancellor Snow. The Head of the Kansas State r University Has Dared to Offend Our All Powerful Pantata, HENCE HE MUST GO In Spite of Twenty-three Years' Service And the Magnificent Spooner Library WHICH HE SECURED. He Must Get Out of the University Having Crossed the Path of Boss Leland. Chairman Cy Leland of the Republi can State Central committee ia now de voting considerable time to getting even with Chancellor Snow of the state uni versity because the chancellor signed the petition endorsing Senator Rogers aa regent of the university. The first opportunity to hit the chan cellor occurred a few days ago when a package of chinch bug reports ware sent to him aa chairman of the board of commissioners of Doniphan county for distribution. Accompanying the reports wag a letter from Chancellor Snow who requested that the reports be distributed among the farmers where they would do the most good. It now appears that Leland wrote Chancellor Snow a letter iuforming him that the reports were at the express of fice subject to his order. In this letter he told Chancellor Snow that the chinch bug fungus is a "fraud" calculated to de ceive and defraud the farmers. Speaking of this letter the Lawrence World says: "The real spleen of the writer appeared, however, when the chancellor was roundly abused for sign ing,.the petition endorsing the conduct of Senator Rogers during his term of office as regent." Chairman Leland talked to a State Journal reporter about Chancellor Snow's chinch bug exterminator. He said: "Yes, old man Snow sent me a package of his reports a few weeks ago." "What did you do with them?" "I left them in trie express office and wrote him a letter telling him they were there, subject to his order." "What else dfd you say in the letter?" Chairman Cy smiled and he replied, "Oh, not much. I told him the reports were worthless and I did not have any time to fool away distributing them." "The fact of the matter is this chinch bug business of his is a fraud. There is nothing that will kill chinch bugs but wet weather. You can't tell me that let ting a few diseased bugs loose in a corn field will do any good, when the dry weather and hot sun is at the same time hatching them out by the million. "The worst of it is the state of Kansas la being humbugged by this affair, and has been since 1889, but I can tell you one thing, there won't be any more chinch bug appropriations made by our legislature. "If one or two level headed men get up on the floor of the house and talk sense for a few minutes, the chinch bug fake will be knocked out "There is no more sense in this chinch bug business, than in tho rain making business, and it did not take our people long to get enough of that" The reporter asked Chairman Leland how Chancellor Snow was getting along with the regular work of the university, to which he replied: "I don't know. The trouble with the old man is that he has been down there too long. Why he has been there twenty-three years. He has been there so long that he thinks he owns the whole business, and the state of Kansas has no interest in the con cern." WAITING TO BE ARRESTED. Breidenthal Will stay ia Town So that Leland Can Arrest Him. State Bank Commissioner Breidenthal bad intended to go to Goodland last night to look after some banking busi ness, but he learned durinsr the afternoon that arrangementa were being made to have him arrested for violating the state banking law, and he postponed his trip for a few days in order that he might be at home to accept Ber-vice. Chairman Leland of the Republican state central committee, C. S. Jobes, who held an appointment aa bank com missioner from Governor Morril and Congressman Chester I. Long, who is Mr. Jobes' backer,held a conference here yesterday at which it was decided to have Breidenthal arrested. Chairman Leland said the complaint ought to be sworn to by State Ac countant Challinor but if no one else can be found to do the job he would become the prosecuting witness him self. The charge upon which it is proposed to have Bank Commissioner Breidenthal arrested is for violating the banking laws In not turning over to the state the fees collected by his department "immediate ly." He will not be charged with stealing anythine. hut with a tinhnirai il lation of the law, which will be repreaentea as tne most heinous offense against the state. Mr. Breidenthal said to a State .Tm-uw T Ann,t "v.lau H?LJa0. today: "I had intended to eo to vruuuiBuu latu nigni, out i beard that a warrant was to Da aworn out for mj ar NIGHT EDITION. TOPEKA, KANSAS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, I out inma timn tnd&v nH T Ttnotnnnnil I s "T "T r s m i some kind or character so as to warn nprsnns rest some time today and I postponed my trip, as 1 did not care to appear to be avoiding arrest" Mr. Breidenthal was once before ar rested for violating the state banking law. It was in the heat of the campaign of 1892. when ho was acting as chairman of the Populist state central committee and was manager of the Kansas Sinaloa Investment company, which did the business of a Mexican coiouy he was in terested in at that time. The Sinaloa company issued checks to the members of its company and the members of the company had their money in a common fund. Bank Commissioner Charles F. John son had Mr. Breidenthal arrested for vio lation of the banking law for receiving money on deposit without authority of the bank department The trial of the caen took place at Abilene, before Judge James Humphrey, and it lasted two days. At the conclusion of the trial Judge Humphrey instructed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Breidenthal says his proposed ar rest will end just as that did in 1892. LOIE FULLER MUST PAY. A Judgment of $1,001 Rendered Against Her In New York. New York, June 15. Justice Newbur ger, of the city court, took an inquest in the suit brought by Isabelle Urqu hart against Lole Fuller, the dan cer, to recover $921 damages for breach of contract. Miss Fuller is in Europe, and no defence was put in. Miss Urqu hart appeared and testified that Miss Fuller entered into a contract with her and her husband, Guy Standing, in Lon don, on August 2, 1893, for an engage ment of six weeks at $200 a week. After one week they were both discharged. Justice Newburger directed that judg ment be entered against Miss Fuller for $1,061, with an additional allowance of five per cent TO FIGHT IN A NEW WAY. War on tho Water Company to Be Re sumed, but Ditt'Mi-ently. The council held an executive session last night which was secret and no one is supposed to know what was done or why the meeting was called, but no con fidence is violated when the fact is made public that the meeting was held to consider a new way of proceeding against the Topeka Water company. The council does not think and neither does City Attorney Bird that the suit against the wa ter works company was commenced as it should have been. They see that if the city wins the suit to compel the com pany to extend its mains that the city will still be a long way from the redress de sired. The city attorney .pointed out this fact to the council last night, and ex-City At torney Isenhart, who is also interested in the case, was present and told the coun cil what he thought about the matter. City Attorney Bird held that a suit to forfeit the franchise of the company should be commenced. The council decided to leave the whole matter with the attorneva to be acted upon as they deem best and this means that the present suit against tne water company pending in the dis trict court will undoubtedly be withdrawn and a new suit for the forfeiture of the franchise of the company commenced. GRAY HAIRS SAVED HIM. Old Soldier Who Run a Joint Acquitted Dy Reason of II is Age. John Richardson, an old soldier, 72 yeara old, was tried in the police court today for being the keeper of a disorder ly house. While the evidence waa con clusive enough to warrant a fine, Judge Furry let the old man go by reason of his age, with a reprimand. Richardson runs a cider and hop tea place ou Kansas avenue near First street Back of what he calls the "bar room are a number of apartments which his pa trons could use for any purpose they de sired. The evidence showed -that the "purpose" was not always lofty. Richardson says that when he draws hi3 July pension he is going to leave To peka forever and go somewhere where the police "ain't so particular." Leaven worth might answer his purpose. L00KE D IN THE WIN DOWS. Beggar on Barriion Street That Act Sus piciously and Are Arrested. Two men who were peeking into win dows on Harrison street last evening were arrested by Officer Henry Aye. Aye watched the men for several blocks. They were begging from house to house, and when they found a residence where none of the occupants were at home the men peeked into the windows and tried the doors. They did this at the home of P. I. Bonebrake on Harrison street and several other houses in the neighborhood. Aye concluded the men would be just as safe in the city prison as around town at large, so he arrested them and booked them as "suspects." The men gave their names as Bruno Milton and Charles Brown. THE "TIMES" MAY BE IN IT. Judge Boater May Include the Kansas City Paper In Hit Suit. The Kansas City Times is likely to be made a defendant in a libel suit similar to that brought against Major J. K. Hudson this week by Judge C. G. Foster. Mr. J. F. Jarrell, the Topeka corre spondent of the Kansas City Times, sent Major Hudson's editorial, reflecting on Judge Foster, to his paper as a news item. Yesterday Judge Foster served notice en Mr. Jarrell, similar to that he served on the editor of the Capital before com mencing his suit for libel, and demanded a retraction of the published editorial. The Times is silent today on the mat ter, and it ia altogether likely that the Times management prefers to be defend ant in a libel suit, where it published an editorial from another paper as a news item.

LAZZARONE LOAFS 111 Won the Suburban Handicap by a Length. Domino the Hot Favorite Not Even Placed. WAS A BIG SURPRISE. Talent Didn't See How Domino Could be Beaten. Sir Walter Was Second Song and Dance Third. Sheepshead Bay Race Track, June 15. A better day for the suburban could not have been desired. The sky was unclouded and a strong westerly breeze blew across the track, making it cool and pleasant The grounds were in perfect condition and the lawns were never greener, the track in better condition, or the beds of flowers more gorgeous in color than they were today. The starters and jockeys for the sub urban were as follows: Sir Water, 126 pounds, Doggett Domino, 123 pounds, TaraL Lazzarone, 115 pounds, Isaac Murphy. Rubicon, 119 pounds, Midgley, Sister Mary, 114 pound?, Hamilton. Declare, 108 pounds, Re iff. Song and Dance. 99 pounds, Griffin. The horses were all out early and were cantered slowly and then breezed a quarter to the stretch. All moved well and seemed absolutely fit to run. Never before in the history of the Suburban has there been such a strong favorite as Domino, not one in a dozen trainers be ing willing to admit even a possibility of his defeat A few said that Domino was not bred to go distance, and that it would be found that he had undertaken too much to carry 123 pounds and run a mile and a quarter against such known stayers as Sir Walter and Lazzorona It was conceded on all sides that the only possibility of defeating the black colt lay in a hot pace all the way and a weakening on the part of the Keene horse when the last furlong came. But no one could see where the pacemaker was to come from. A slow race and a sprint of half a mile or so, it waa argued, would make the victory a sure thing for Domino, barring accidents, the only horses of the lot likely to be with him at the end in such race being Rubicon and Sir Walter. Domino will probably go to the post at 2 to 5 in the betting, although as good aa, 4. to 5 was laid yesterday. The colt has yet to make his mark at a mile and a quar ter, the only time he has been sent ofer a mile being at Chicago when he was beaten badly at a mile and a half. Once at Gravesend when be ran a dead heat with Henry of Navarre at a mile and an eighth and at Morris Park, when Henry of Navarre and Clifford beat him badly at a mile and an eighth. Sir Walter is a known stayer and can run fast too. He has taken up weight and run a mile and a quarter close to record time and has repeated the effort when called upon. Lazzarone ran second in the Brooklyn handicap and was expected to win, but Hornpipe was too much for him athe weights; he carried two pounds more to day. At 2 o'cldck the crowds began to pour into the grounds and by the time the first race was called, scarcely an availa ble seat was to be found anywhere. The attendance then was fully up to that of the Brooklyn handicap and the turnstiles still kept up their steady clicking. The class of people was better than on any previous day and the betting ring was filled to over flowing. lhe odds offered in the suburban were: Domino 1 to 2, Sir Walter 4 to 1, Lazza rone 8 to 1, Rubicon, Sister Mary, De clare and Song and Dance 10 to 1. Few cared for anything but Domino, how ever. 3:20 p. m. Lazzarono won by one length; Sir Walter, second; Song and Dance, third. The race was one and one-quarter miles and the time made by the winner 2:07 4-5. BICYCLIST DEFIANCE. Wheelmen Seek to Make the New Ordinance Obnoxious BY CARRYING BIG NOISY BELLS. They Threaten to Serenade the Conn cilmen Who Passed, the Ordinance and the Police Threaten to Arrest Them. The bicyclists have determined to make the recently paaaed bicycle ordinance odious, because it provides that bicycles shall be supplied with bells to warn pedestrians of their approach and with lights so that people will not be run down and injured on crossings at night, several cases of which have occurred. Another provision of the ordinance that is obnoxious is the one that pre scribes that bicycles shall not go faster that six miles an hour. This last provis ion seems a little unreasonable, and prob ably can't be observed with any degree of exactitude. The necessity of a bell at night, however, is recognized by most bicyclists, and many of them have them. They are not to ring continually, but only to warn people who do not notice the silent approach of the bicycle. The bicyclista mistakenly regard Coun cilman Stevens as the author of the or dinance just passed. They are going to serenade him tonight, or say they are. The ordinance is No. 1792, and reads as follows: Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any per son to ride or drive any horse, mule, or team of any kind, or ride any bicycle, or tricycle faster then six (6) miies per hour over or along any street, avenue or alley of the city of Topeka. Sec. 2. Any person riding a bicycle or tricy cle over or along any street, avenue or al ley of the city of Topeka in the night time shall carry upon said bicyjeor tricycle a signal light of traveling in the opposite direction of the ap proach of said bicycle or tricycle, or give an alarm by a bell or otherwise to any person trav eling in the opposite direction so as to warn said person of the approacli of said bicycle or tricycle and any person riding a bicycle or tricycle or drlv ing or controlling any other vehicle shall upon the approach of any person traveling in the op posite direction turn to the right in such man ner as to allow the person or vehicle approach ing ample room to pass. Sec. 3. Any person violating this ordinance snail upon conviction be fined not less than three dollars not more than ten dollars for each offense. The bicyclista have conceived the idea somewhere that Mr. Stevens is the man who sprung the ordinance but the fact of the matter is that a bicycle ordinance was introduced by Councilman Stevens last summer and passed, but it bore not the slightest resemblance to the ordi nance passed at the last meeting of the council. The Stevens ordinance waa passed but there was such a storm raised because it contaiued a provision allow ing bicyclista to use the side walk that it was reconsidered and referred to the committee on licenses, of which Councilman Ste phenson is chairman. It was that com mittee that proposed the ordinance that is now a law, and Councilman Stevens was particular that it should be under stood that the ordinance passed, was no relation to the ill fated one introduced by him. The serenade may perhaps lack some thing in melody, but it certainly will not be deficient in volume, for the bikers will spread themselves and make it in teresting if the police don't stop them. The cause of all this and of the great uproar that you met several times in a block last night is the ordinance abova The bicyclists are mad about it and are doing their best to make it ridiculous, feven to the danger of becoming them ??lves a public nuisance. While it is admitted that 'the sec tion bringing the speed down to six miles an hour is a little unseemly, there is no necessity for making such a bois terous protest a3 the one last night. Luckily and strangely there were no accidents resulting from runaways. Almost every bicyclist you met last night was doing his best to spite the ordinance by some outlandish appliance. There were cow bells and sleigh bells end dinner bells and gongs and triangles for noise, and lanterns and headlights for lights. Dan Adams and A. W. Beronius had cowbells. Morris Stevenson, J. B. Doncy son, Mike West and Cort Edwards were among those who had sleigh bells that jiuv'led at every turn of the wheels. Some fellow had a big trolley car headlight in front and two had triangles. J. McCoy had a large stable iantern hanging beneath the seat of his wheel and a dozen had dinner bells which they rang wildly. The wheelers were not content in go ing alone. They went in crowds and made all the noise possible. Chief Wilkerson has issued an order today that the agitators will have to look out for. 'If they make too much noise," said 'jT-iief Wilkerson today, "we will arrest them. They have no more rights than anybody else. So long as they do not disturb anybody with their boisterous ness it is all right, but they must be care ful. They may be complying with the ordinance about bicycles, but there is also an ordinance about disturbance of the peace that they must look out for." The bicycle riders regard the ordi nance as entirely uu just and severa "We don't care about the lights and bells," said one. "That's all right There ought to be lights and bells because you might run into somebody, you know; but six miles an hour, why, I can walk faster than that There isn't any sense in it It's violated every day by horses and buggies. Better get off and walk than to ride only six miles an hour. We must make all this noise to call public attention to the fool ordinance and say, you want to look out tonight. We won't do a thing to that councilman but go down and wake him up." Wm. Taylor, the dealer, has taken care to get the vote on the ordinance aa the council cast it and finds that Fulton and Skinner were the only ones that voted against the ordinance. What Councilman Say. The councilmen are a little annoyed at the result of the bicycle ordinance, but they have not despaired. Councilman Bradford said: "There is nothing unreasonable in the ordinance. The bicycle is a noiseless vehicle and they should carry something to warn pedestrians of their approach, for there is no other way to know when one of them is near. People hare been run over and crippled for life in this town, and the pedestrian should have some protection. The bicycle ordinance is all right and not in the least objectionable." Councilman Burgess said: "I do not see that there is anything the matter with the ordinance. Bicycles are vehicles and they should be regulated like other vehicles. After while I will introduce an amendment to give the wheelmen the exclusive use of some avenue between certain hours so that they may have all the fun they can." Councilman Roundtree said: "The pro vision in regard to carrying lights or bells was perhaps not explicit enough, and the kinds to be used should have been outlined in the ordinance. It may be necessary to amend the ordinance. 1 think that tho provision limiting the speed to six miles an hour a little strict" Disastrous Fire in .Bridgeport. Ohio. Wheeling, W. Ya, June 15.

RANGE VERSUS FARM. Ranges With a Third More Area Produce a Third Less Cattle. Disappearance of Ranges Will Not Lessen Production. St. Louis, June 15. The Butchers Magazine to be issued triday has this to say about the cattle supply: Articles have appeared in leading daily papers of New York and Chicago, showing that with the disappearance of the vast ranges by dividing them into farms, cattle would disappear and beef would become a luxury. This is fallacious reasoning, for, as a matter of fact, the beef of the country cornea from the farms, not the range. There are thirty-one farm states, with a total area of 1.168,002 square miles, and according to the report of the United States agricultural department on January 15, the estimated number of cat tle in those states was 30,036,472. The range states and territories, 17 in number, contain an area of 1,794,077 square miles and in January 1895, the estimated number of cattle was only 20,808,373. The range states, therefore, with a third more area than the farm states, have a third less cattle, and they constantly multiply in the farm region. Texas with considerable more area than Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas combined, has nearly 50 per cent less cattle. The farm area en larges beef production over one-third, while range area diminishes it. SEN. STEWART COMING. The following telegram wbb received today from Ottawa by J. B. Chapman from Chairman A. C.

C Larue, a Davis and M. Welch, who are believed to be bad men, were fined in the police court today. They travel about the country selling dress pat tern!, and the fact that each of their three rigs has a chicken coop at tached leads the officers to believe that they make a practice of gathering in all the chickens they find. The crowd struck Topeka last evening, and after putting their horses and wagons at Krauss' livery stable, bought whisky and got drunk. Davis left the others and went to the vicinity of Eighth and Madison streets. Here he found Mrs. Orendorf, Mrs. McCormick and Mrs. Scohls. He insulted them, and his re quest that the ladies drink whisky with him out of the bottle was the least of the insults. He was arrested by Officer Wellman. Later in the evening the other two Ren in the party had a dispute with Hackman "Pegleg" Kohs, and were arrested for being drunk and disorderly. They refused to pay him for their ride, and the driver says they stole his laprobe into the bargain. In court today Davis, who insulted the women, was fined $10, and Larue and Welch were fined $5 each. THE ASSAULT JUSTIFIED. On This Ground Kesa Ritchie Was Ac quitted in Police Court Tod My. Ross Ritchie was in the police court this forenoon, charged with assaulting William McCormick. The court held that the assault was justified and Ritchie was allowed to go home. Ritchie bought a gasoline stove from Lew Frost The stove didn't belong to Frost when he sold it, but was one he had taken to repair. Ritchie bought the stove in good faith. McCormick and the man from whom the stove had been taken called on Ritchie and told him that if he had bought the stove in good faith he could keep it, and they would proceed against Frost. Later, however, McCormick called at Ritchie's house and said: "I've come to get that stove." Aocording to his own evidence Ritchie threw McCor mick "out of the yard," and not very ten derly either. City Attorney Bird did not wish to prosecute the case. DEPEW WON'T STAY LONG. He Can Only Stop One Hour at tho Re publican League Meeting. Cleveland, O., June 15.

I leave here tomorrow for Nashville to deliver the annual address at the Yanderbilt univer sity and make one other speech on schol astic matters. "Returning, I will arrive at Cleveland on the 19th at 5 o'clock and leave at 6. "Chauncey M. Dkpew." It is probable that a strong delegatton will meet Mr. Depew at the depot and endeavor to prevail upon him to address the convention. CONTINUE FAIR. But it May Raiu Here Tomorrow Even ing;. The chances are that it will rain by to morrow evening, Mr. Jennings thinks. It will be fair tonight and tomorrow morning. If the rain comes it will be local only.

Reports Haven't Been So Fa vorable for a Long Time. Crop Prospects Improve and Labor Troubles Subside. WAGES ARE RAISED. The Value of Commercial Loans is Rising. New York, June 15. R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: It is no longer a question whether busi ness improves. Not for a long1 time have our report from all parts of the country been so uniformly favorable. The daily average of bank clearings in June is 24.8 per cent, larger than last year, though 11.4 per cent, less than in 1S92. The most potent influence has been receipt of more favorable advices regarding growing crops. Labor trou bles are getting out of the way, wages in many establishments are rising and with the iron industry jut now lead ing, there is general improvement in manufactures. Monetary condition also helps. The time draws near when good crop exports will bring gold hither and though foreign operations in stocks and bonds have been insignificant this week, the effect of the previous transactions has not been exhaust ed. Much diminished receipts of money from the interior indicate better employment in business, and especially at the west, and the volume of commercial loans steadily rise and is now fair for this season even in a good year. Western receipts for two weeks of June were 3,116,680 bushels wheat against 3,001,202 last year, while At lantic exports, flour included, were only 2,634,847, against 4,630,227 last year. Effects of the rise in prices were seen in the official report of May ex ports, showing a decrease of 1,000,000 bushels from Atlantic, but an increase of 2,000,000 from Pacific in exports. The price was reduced in trading. Corn also declined about 1 cent with better reports of growth. The official statement of 14.8 de crease in cotton acreage was quickly found in view of revised government estimates for last year, to mean more than 20,000,000 acres now growing cot ton, which much exceeds the best un official estimates, and from an area no greater over 9,000,000 bales were pro duced in 1891, so that the report gave no aid to prophets of 'eviL That some reduction would be well for the south is clear, but the heavy present surplus will cover a larger loss than seems probable. The output of pig iron June 1 was but a trifle larger than May 1, 157,224 tons, against 15G,554 a month ago and 174,022 a vear ago. The advance in prices continues, Bessemer pig reach ing $12.40 and grey forge $10.65 at Pittsburgh and changes in all iron products show an advance of 3.7 per cent, this month and 13.3 per cent, from the lowest point in Feb ruary. For this conservative in dustry the rise of 26 per cent, in Bessemer iron seems large, but it com pares with 35 per cent, in cotton, 53 per cent, in wheat, 60 to 70 per cent, in leather, 80 per cent, in refined oil and over 100 per cent, in hides. All those products were at the lowest prices ever known and remarkable gains were to be expected when any came, but with each consumption has yet to justify advances. Failures for the past week have been 241 against 232 last year. HE CRITICISED CARLISLE. Senator Joneph Blackburn A sain Attacks the Secretary of the Treasury. Fbaskfoht, Ky., June 15. Senator Blackburn addressed a large audience here last night. Carlisle was taken to task for saying he never favored free and unlimited coinage. He sat by his side and thought he heard him vote for the bill and silver bill on November 5, 1873, and vote and speak for the acts of 1890, and he would give ihe best member of his body if Carlisle had not been the ablest advocate of free and un limited coinage of silver. "But Brutus tells you that he had not, and, surely, Brutus is an honorable man." The greatest portion of the speech was devoted to the severe criticism of Cleveland, Carlisle, Lindsay and the, press. To manufacturers like the Royal Bak ing Powder Company, the public is un der a large debt of gratitude for the in creased purity of articles of food sold at the present day. The reports of the of ficial government investigations of bak ing powers show the Royal to be strong er and purer than any other. It is quite evident that neither ingenuity, science nor expense can in any way improve upon the Royal Baking Powder as now before the public. Prominent Mormon Killed. Richmond, Va., June 15. David Whit more was caught by tt cave-in at a sand bank, 2 miles south of this city, yesterday morning and instantly killed.

The move ment inaugurated by prominent demo crats for the formation of a silver or ganization within the lines of the democratic party mentioned in Thurs day night's dispatches, ia believed to be a step of the greatest importance in the campaign on the currency ques tion. There were present at the meet ing the democratic senator and others who were here attending the silver convention. Senators Harris, Jones and Turpie were named as a committee to select members of a national executive com mittee consisting4 of one man from each state. Senator Harris said yes terday: "The league will be purely a democratic organization, formed for the purpose of se curing a perfect organization of the silver democrats in the country for the purpose of controlling the ut terances of the next national demo cratic convention upon the financial question. I have no doubt that the great majority of the people are in favor of free coinage, but unless they organize it will be impossi ble for them to make the next platform. An organization within the lines of the democratic party like the one now promoted is absolutely essen tial to the success of the issue in our next national convention." Senator Harris also emphasizes the fact that the national bimetallic league is to be a democratic organization. FOREIGN IMPORTS LARGE. For Eleven Months There Has Been An Increase of S74.000.000. Washington, June 15. The bureau of statistics, in its report on the im ports, exports and immigration of the United States, during the month of May and the eleven months ended with May, shows that the exports of domes tic merchandise during the month of May amounted to $62,720,625, a gain of 4,000,000 over May, 1894. For the eleven months, the exports of merchandise amounted to only $739,651,037, a loss of nearly $74,000,000. The imports of mer chandise during May amounted to $66, 025,000, of which nearly $31,000,000 came in free of duty. The gain for the month over May, 1894, was about $10, 000,000, and for the eleven months the gain was about $74,000,000, or al most exactly the amount lost on exports. The exports of gold coin and bullion during May amounted, to $416, 756, and the imports, $4,860,926. For the eleven months the gold exports amounted to $64,831,227, and the im ports, $33,056,005. The exports of sil ver during May aggregated $5,727,041, and the imports to $742,845. 'During the eleven months the exports of silver amounted to $44,311,446 and the imports to $8,576,471. The number of immigrants who arrived during May was 49,144, an increase over May, 1894, of about 16,000. During the eleven months there was a falling off of about 45,500. THE PRECIOUS METALS. Increased Reports in Production of Gold and Silver for 1894. Washington, June 15. The' director of the mint, R. F. Preston, estimates the world's production of gold for the calendar year 1891 to have approxi mated 8,870,518 fine ounces of the value of S1S1,51.0,100 against 158,836,000 for 1S93, showing an increase during the year of $22,674,000. The greatest in creases in the production of gold dur ing the year were: Africa, $11,400,000; Australia, $6,073,600; United" States, States, $3,500,000; Mexico, $3,195,000. Mr. Preston estimates the world's production of silver for 1894 at 165, 918,338 fine ounces of the coining value of $214,381,000; the bullion value of the same at the average price (viz.: 63 cents) of silver for 1894, was $105,348, 135, showing a difference be tween the coining and bullion value of $109,132,965. The increase in the production of silver in 1894 over 1893 was 722,000 ounces. The great est increase in the production of silver was: Bolivia, $10,800,000; Mexico, $3, 500,000; Peru, $2,000,000; Chili, $1,400, 000; Greece, $1,400,000. Both the pro duction of gold and silver exceeded that of any prior year in the world's history. The grocer sends the new brand of baking powder simply because it costs him so much less and he can make more profit by selling it than he can on the RoyaL The Royal is made from the very finest materials and costs much more than any other brand, which ac counts for its superiority, although it is sold to consumers at the same price.

It Cannot Make Money Says the Secretary. Lotnsvn.i.E, Ky., June 15. The large personal following of Secretary Car lisle in thia city and the keen interest felt by all classes in the currency ques tion filled Music hall yesterday even ing with such a crowd as Louisville never before saw congregated on a sim ilar occasion. Promply at 8 o'clock Mr. Carlisle came forward and was pre sented by Charles B. Long. When the applause subsided, in his clear, in cisive voice, Mr. Carlisle waded immediately into his subject. Mr. Carlisle repeated his argument that the under-valued metal would be driven out of the country by the adoption of a bimetallic system, and at some length paid attention to the claims that the fall in the price of sil ver was due to its demonetization. Continuing, he said, that the fiat of the government does not make money was illustrated by the history of the trade dollar. That was coined free of charge and delivered without expense to the owners of bullion and con tained thirty more grains than was contained in two half dol lars or four quarters. It was legal tender for all debts up to $5, just as half dollars and quarters were. The trade dollar, more valuable intrinsically, but without the credit of the govern ment, 6S.nk to 80- cents, while the less valuable of coins were maintained at full par. What happened to the trade dollar would be exactly what would happen to all other silver dol lars if free and unlimited coinage were adopted. After the speaking the secretary was tendered a reception at the Watterson club. WILL SEND OUT MISSIOJTAHIES. Washington, June 15. A local pa per, evidently inspired, nas the follow ing: Mr. Lawrence Gardner, of this city, secretary of the democratic con gressional campaign committee, is now in New York, arranging to send party of democrats through the western states. The object is to wage a campaign of education against the silver heresy. Among the noted orators who have already accepted the invitation are Senator John B. Gordon, of Georgia; Gen. John Black, of Illinois; Hon. James Herr, of Pennsylvania; Hon. Henry Myers, of Indiana, and the noted Private John Allen, of Mississippi. There will be twelve picked orators in all. The party will leave New York from Buffalo by special train September 1, whence they will take a boat for Minnesota, which will be the first state stumped. The first meeting will be held in the city of Duluth, the hustling town made famous years ago by the speech of Proctor Knott. It is intended to make a state to state canvass, hold four mass meetings in each state, except Mon tana, where a full week will be spent, andaddxesses made in the principal towns. Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri will be visited. The party will return to Washington about November 1." MORE CADETS WANTED. targe Number of Vacancies in the Navy and Engineer Corps to Be Filled. Washington, June 15. Owing to the unusually large number of retirements in the line of the navy and the en gineer corps during the past year, for the first time in two administrations there are now more vacancies than can be tilled from the class lust graduated from the naval academy, and consequently there may be civil ians appointed, The vacancies in the line now number twenty-six and there are twenty-one places to be filled in the engineer corps. The graduating class numbers forty, so there are seven places open over and above those to be filled by the incoming class. Diamond Medal for Orators. Nevada, Mo., June 15.

E. church (south) of this city has ordered a $125 diamond-studded gold medal, to be given to the successful contestant at an elocutionary contest to be held here August 28, open to all the towns and colleges in the state. Philip Goodwin, colored, was hanged on the 14th in the jail yard at Mobile, Ala., before a crowd of 500 people. He made no confession. The crime for which he died was the murder of John Poole, a section boss on the Louisville Nashville railroad at Venetia, who had dismissed him from the road's em ploy men t. The statistics show that there is used in the manufacture of the Royal Baking Powder more than half of all the cream of tartar consumed in the United States for all purposes. The wonderful sale thus indicated for the Royal Baking Powder greater than that of all ether baking powders combined ia perhaps the highest evidence of the superiority of this article, and of its indiapeusable- ness to modern cookery.

It has been liquidating all day with no support but from the shorts. Chicago longs have generally sold out, and pro fessionals, but the countrymen are still holding on to a good share of their lines, but are not inclined to increase them. The buying energy haa apparently exhausted itself for the present Now that new wheat ia beginning to move in the southwest and in Maryland and Virginia it will cut ofC to some extent the drain on the great distributing centers. Speculators are disposed to take account of stock, clean up their lines, and wait for develop ments. It is probable that the country will begin to liquidate next week if the situation shows no improvement as their commission houses will be calling for additional margins. Corn and oats were partially in sympa thy with wheat and on better crop out look. Receiving houses have been prom inent sellers. Provisions hold up well and do, not respond to weakness in grain. Armour ia a big buyer of hogs, and no body who is posted on pork will sell it short and it looks like going higher. Would buy it on any good break. open. Uigli Low. j Cloa.
