Gen. Lee's Report.
Washington , Aug. 10. Consul Gen
eral Lee , in a report to the state de
ra-tment , says that the 810,000 placec
to the credit of the relief fund May 2'
was equivalent to 10,97. Spanish del
lars. This fund , which was expendec
with the greatest care and economy
is nearly exhausted , about 1,400 desti
tute Americans having been fed dailj
and provided with necessary medi
ciues. It cost L'J cents United
States money for each persoc
per day , or even less , for transporta
tion is taken from the relief.fund.
One hundred and eleven persons have
been furnished with transportation tc
various points in the United States.
About 95 per cent of the l,40u desti
tute persons are naturalized American
citizens , who have lived in Cuba for a
long time and whose business is there.
Many- them do not speak English.
A large number have never been in the
United States , being- the wives and
children of naturalized citizens.
CONDITION OF TRADE.
Bradbtroet'B Iteport a VThlofpread Re
vival of Hmi nes * .
New York , Aug. 10. Bradstreet's
says :
"Evidences of widespread revival in
demand for merchandise and other
products have become so numerous as
to compel general recognition. The
press has , therefore , ceased discussing
whether trade has really improved or
not. and has begun measuring the vol
ume of business compared with pre
ceding periods.
"A buoyancy of feeling has ap
peared among- buyers and sellers at
New York , Baltimore , Chicago , St
Louis and Kansas City , where'interior
merchants have thronged this week ,
the like of wkich has not been seen
for several years. . .Interior merchants
are buying dry goods , clothing , shoes ,
groceries and fancy articles , far more
freely than at any time since 1892.
"Crop conditions have improved at
the South and Southwest , and mer
chants there are more encouraged.
Southern lumber mills are not able to
keep up with orders , and innumerable
small consumers of iron and steel
throughout Central Western states
are buying raw material as they have
not for years.
"Wheat scored an advance of 7
cents on continued big exports and a
tendency to decrease estimates of the
size of the domestic crop. Wool is
higher on speculative holding , and
cotton yarns have advanced again.
Hides and Southern lumber are up , as
are wheat , flour , Indian corn and oats ,
and last , but not least , print cloths ,
the market for which has been so long
depressed. Prices for sugar , coffee ,
tard and petroleum remain unchanged ,
ivhile pork is almost the only import
ant product quoted lower than last
iveek. " '

ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS.

OUR NEXT ELECHOK
IT WILL BE HELD UNDER TH
NEW LAW.
Officers to Ho Chosen In Aocordanc
With the Provisions of the Legisla
tive Act , House It oil No. 10 Old
OfliclalH Out of OHIco Accord
ing to Attorney General.
Klectlons In Nebraska.
The next general election in thi
state must be held under the lat
passed by the last session of the legif
lature and the officers of election wil
be those chosen in accordance wit !
house roll No. 10. The attorney gen
eral lias given his opinion that the eli
election officers will not hold over , bu
that they were legislated out of offic
by the new act and the county judge
must appoint new precinct judges an <
clerks who will conduct the election
for the next year. The new law pro
vide.s that the county judges of tlv
several counties must , at least om
week before the general election , ap
point three judges aud two clerks o
election in each precinct and these ante
to serve as election officers at all gen
eral and special elections to be heh
during the next year.
The act provides that these officer ;
of election shall be "of good character
well informed , who can read and writ *
and speak the English language , am
that they shall have resided in the
election precinct for which they art
appointed to servo for at least oncyeai
next preceding- appointment and shal
be entitled tp vote therein. " The man
ner of selection of these election offi
cers , which is a complete change fron
the old system , is as follows :
HULKS OF Sni.ECTION.
"The county judge shall appoint su
judges and clerks of election at leasl
ten daj's before the election three
judges and two clerks nominated foi
such offices in precinct primaries , and
the county judge shall select for each
precinct one judge for the party poll
ing the highest number of votes at the
last general election in the precinct ,
and one judge from the party polling
the next highest number of votes at
the last general election and one judge
from the party polling the next high
est number of votes at the last general
election. In case there is one or more
parties to be represented on the ticket
he shall appoint a clerk of election
from each of the parties not repre
sented on the election board polling
the highest number of votes , and pro
vided , where there are only two par
ties with tickets on the official ballot ,
then the party polling- the highest
vote shall have two judges and one
clerk and the other party one judge
and one clerk ; and in case of three
parties on the official ballot he shall
appoint a clerk from each of the par
ties receiving the highest number of
votes , and such judges and clerks .shall
constitute a board of election. " '
mrrv of imuuaiuks.
The duty of the precinctpriinaries to
nominate the officers of the election is
imperative and if neglected by these
primaries the selection is left to the
county judge without restriction. The
old plan of having electors present at
the polls name officers to fill vacancies
is still operative where none of the
regularly appointed officers show * up
at the time for opening the polls. In
ease there is some of tke regular board
present tiie vacant place must be filled
by the members of the same political
party as the absentee. In this case the
qualified members of the party who
ire present can nominate a candidate
for the vacancy and present the name
to the board for ratification.
Owing to the fact that many of the
precinct primaries will be held before
Lhe copies of the session laws are gen-
jrally distributed the chairmen of the
populist and democratic state central
committees are calling the attention of
Lhe voters to the provisions of this law
md tt > the importance that it be com-
ilied with in the .selection of the names
0 be certified to the county judge by
: he precinct primary officers.

SHIPPING CATTLE.
Threa Western Itoads Agrco to Do Awn
IVlth Cnrloud Kates.
Omaha dispatch : Messrs. Woo <
Brock and Merchant , representing tli
freight departments of the Union Pi
cific , the Burlington and the Elkhor
railroads respectively , this mornin
succeeded in overcoming the objection
of the freight officials of the tit. Lou
& San Francisco , the Kansas Citj
Pittsburg & Oulf , and the Kansas Citj
Ft. Scott & Mumph > s railroads to th
conversion of all live stock rates i
the trans-Missouri tcrrito * from do
lars per car load to cents per 1(1 (
pounds , with the important result thri
all live stock rates on till railroads i
trans-Missouri territory will now li
based upon the actual weight of th
shipincns. This is the import of th
news received by freight men i
Omaha this morning from the Kansa
City meeting , where there has been
wrangle on the proposition under cor
sidcration for several days. The thre
lines south of Kansas City that hay
hitherto opposed the change fell i :
line this morning , and rates will b
based on weight on and after Tucsda
next in the territory west of the Mis
souri river.
The minimum rates that will be al
lowed for shipments of live stock ii
various territories have also just beci
determined upon. In Nebraska th
minimum rates for such shipments ar
as follows : Nineteen thousand pound
pounds for thirty-foot cars , 130,50
pounds for thirty-three and a half fee
cars , and U2.000 pounds for thirty-si :
foot cars. For the territory west o
Nebraska and Kansas a change in tin
basis was necessary on account of tin
difference in loading and in order t <
protect such western lines on the rcve
nue of stock at intermediate points ii
Nebraska and Kansas to be fattenei
for the market , for the territory wes
of these states there will be a highei
minimum of weights , as follows
Twenty-one thousand five hundret
pounds for thirty foot cars , 2:5.00 : (
pounds for thirty-three and a half-fool
cars , and : . ' } ,000 pounds for thirty-si ?
foot ca rs.
Speaking- the new basis just fixet
for live stock shipments by weight t
prominent freight official said : "This
basis lias been determined upon aftei
several .years of careful figuring and
calculation as to the comfortable carrying
rying- weight of slock cars not over
loaded. As the mode of fixing- live
stock rates by so many cents per 10C
pounds has been in vogue for several
years from Nebraska and Kansas tc
Chicago , and from all western freight
territory from Texas and the whole
southern territory to Kansas City , St.
Louis and Chicago , to the .satisfaction
of carriers and shippers , there is no
successful argument why the same
principle of determining livestock rev
enue should not be carried into the
trans-Missouri country generally. The
present basis , we think , is fair and
reasonable. "
"If this new basis of determining
live stock rates into South Omaha and
other markets by weight , instead ot
by ear loads is a good thingnow. . why
was it not successful when tried last
year ? "
"This basis was used in Nebraska
for about four months. The exact
ilates between which the principle was
in operation are , I believe. .Ian. 1 and
April -20. ISjiO. The method was not a
.uccess then because it was not. placed
in operation by all railroads and was
not given a fair trial. Now. however ,
ill lines have agreed to it. and we
irmly believe that a fair trial by all
ivill illMMT its Sll'ee--s. "

*
Astoria from Dyea nnd confirms pr < &
n
vious reports that both the White ami
Chilcoot passes arc blockaded by caget t
jrold seekers. Nearly all of the Bl- | 1
tier's passengers were landed at Dyca , | | j
the vessel lying a mile and a. half out * i |
in the bay nnd passengers and good * A
being lightered ashore at a cost of ? 1C
per ton for freight Officers of th * j
Elder say that not onfl-half the people M
will get over the mountains this win m
tor. Many arc selling out their outfits - j
fits and returniug. Letters from parties - * J
ties who went up on the Elder advis m
their friends not to go this fall as they i
cannot get through. J
The wreck of the Mexico on the J
Alaskan coast will , it is generally believed -
lieved , be followed by others , for the %
rush to the gold fields has caused the 1
chartering of many unseaworthy vessels - < M
sels and the engagement of incorn- / J
potent mariners. If any otiier vessel 1
should go down it is almost- certain m
that there will be great loss of life.
Many of these vessels are wretched i T
affairs without passenger accommodations - * J
tions and all overloaded. < * •
Two unseaworthy tugs have passed '
Union , Pritish Columbia , loW * J down J
with 150 souls , and , in their top heavy , tjM
condition , would tip over at the first Wi
heavy wave. NjHr
Forage along the trails has been al- fy * A
ready exhausted , and pack horses will im * *
soon be dyiug by dozens. There are J
now ' - ' .OOO men between Skaguay and 1
Klondyke. The blockade of Klondyk- 1
crs at Dyca antl Skaguay will lead to 1
much suffering next winter. >
During the past week Klondyke
fever has abated somewhat in this citv j
owing , probably to the discouraging
reports received from Dyea. At the
offices of the steamship companies it
is reported that the inquiry for ticketK d
is diminishintr. M

Washington , Aug. 14. The post- * A

postal authorities of Canada concerning - I
ing co-operation in carrying the mails j
to the Klondike country. The proposition - A
sition is that the two governments 1
should co-opcratc and arrange for an I
interchange of mail at Circle City and I
Dawson City , the Pnitetl States to w
maintain a service once a month j
and Canada the same. This would |
give two mails everv month. J |
