ELECTIONS IH CUBA
Only Fragmentary Reports Re
ceived From the Interior.
Tranquillity Marks First Selection of
Officers of New Regime Governor
Magoon Receives Messages of Con
gratulation From People of Island.
The tesult of thu elections In Cuba la
Etlll limiting In the balance. Only
fingiueutaiy reports hnvu been re
ceived iroin the Interior, but these In
dlcate general conservative gains and
point to the piobablllty of the con
servatlves carrying ull the provinces,
with one or two exceptions. Mntnnztis
City, Saguu la Grande and Santiago
are known to have been strongly con
servative. Governor Dougherty of
Orlente province reports that three
fifths of the municipalities there glvu
the Mlguellstas A slight estimated
plurality. Caniaguey and Plnnr del
Rio evidently are conservative. In
Santa Claia province It Is believed the
conservatives are nl;ad.
In Havana province there Is u close
fight between the conservatives and
Mlguellstas. The Zayaltas carried the
Isle of Pines by a big majority, but
are running in third place throughout
the Island. In Havana city there is
a great confusion over the canvass of
the vote. Sonio returns still are lack
ing, owing to the failure of district
boards to forward them to the central
board In the manner prescribed by
law. The latter board, therefore, has
been unable to forward the reports to
Colonel Crowder of the department
of stato and -justice for tabulation,
and probably two or three dnys will
elapse before the icsult In the city
is ofllclally declared. The probability,
however, Is that .lullo de Cardenas
has been re-elected mayor of Havana
and that the city vote will be suffi
cient to offset the country vote for
governor for General Asbert, Miguel
isia, against General Emullo Nunez,
consenatlve.
AdIees horn all sections of the
island show that absolute tranquillity
prevails. Governor Magoon has re
ceived from all the provinces mes
sages of congratulations for the elab
orate working of tho new law drafted
by Colonel Crowder.
VENEZUELA AND NETHERLANDS
Talk of Armed Conflict Regarded as
Absurd at Caracas.
The differences between President
Castro and the government of the

to bo less serious than seemed
at first. All talk of an armed
conflict Is regarded as absurd in
Venezuela. The government believes
that It had the fullest Justification for
its dismissal of M. De Hens, the Dutch

case of Minister do Heus Is said to be

The rumor that the Dutch armored ,

being well known that tho ship is sent

Kansas and Missouri File Suits to En

Suits were brought In two states
to dissolve tho alleged lumber
trust recently formed In St. Louis.
Tht attorneys general of Missouri,
Kaiisan. Texas and Oklahoma entered
Into an agreement months ago to In
vctlgnte tho lumber huslnoiis in
unlMitt, and tho gfttherliiK of evidence
lists been in progress since. Nejtrly nil
of th companies against which ult
lifts been brought are MUhoiiiI con
cents and have ofllcos In Kansas City.
It waa on July 8 of this er that
the alleged agreement on which the
suit is based was made In St. Louis.
It i charged by the attorney ftenernl
that the corporations and persons
mimed above mot In St. Louis and en-tor-d
Into an ngreemont, pool or trust
to lix and maintain tho price of lum
ber in Kansas anil other stntea. to
limit the amount of lumber produced

The companies Involved represent a
cnpltal of $:i00.000,000 Invested In the
yellow pine lumber Industry of tho
country. These companies practically
contiol the entire output of yellow
pine In tho middle west, and abso
lutely control the amount of lumber
which may bo shipped Into Kansas.
TRADE REVIEW FOR THE WEEK
General Tendency Is Toward Moder
ate Improvement.
Uradstt cot's says: Trade and crop re
ports show little change from Inst
week, but general tendencies and cer
tainly sentiments are In the direction
of moderate Improvement. Prepara
tions for the opening of fall jobbing
trade In the first week of August ae
making at all cities, buyers are gath
ering in large numbers and a full rep
resentation with Increased buying Is
looked for. At a fow cities July
trade has not been up to expectations,
but at New York, where a moderate
Increase In activity is noted, there
has been a disposition 10 await forth
coming large auction sales of cotton
and woolen goods as offering a line on
future demand. Best reports of fall
trade come from the central west,
not thwest and the south. ISverywheie,
however, the testimony is that buying
is of a conservative character. In In
dustry there are evidences of expan
sion In some lines and of contraction
in others. Factories generally are
running simply "on orders."
Failures for the week number 275.
Wheat exports for the week aggre
gate 2, COn, 1118 bushels. Corn exports
for the week ate 15,023 bushels.

OPINION IS TOPIC AT LINCOLN
Democrats Think it Will Strengthen
Party In Present Campaign.
Attorney General Bonapartes opinion,
dellveied Saturday, holding It to be il
legal for national banks of Oklahoma
to contribute toward tho guaranty
fund for the protection ot depositors
or to avail themselves of tho othor
privileges of the stnte banking uct,
wns the subject of u good deal of dis
cussion. Sonio prominent Democrats
of Lincoln freely averred that, follow
lug so ciosuly on tho heels of tho
Standard Oil rovcrsal In Chicago ami
the contempt cases against labor lead
ers In Washington, the opinion of tho
federal nttorney general still further
strengthens tho Democratic party iu
the present campaign. Mr. lJryuu
himself gave expression to the effect
the opinion will have In the coming
elections.
"It accentuates the lssuo," said he,
"and emphasize the necessity of leg
islation framed from the standpoint
of the depositor rather than from tlio
standpoint of the banker." i
Having practically gotten his ac
ceptance speech off his hntitlB, Mr.
llryan is ditectlng some of his
thoughts to his farm. The principal ob
ject of interest with him just now is a
large Hold of alfalfa, from which In a

crop of the present season and which,
he calculates, will yield still another.

cises nre to take place on Aug. 12
