that on June 1 the circulation of all
kinds of money in the United States
a8"g'r?Srated $1,606,175,556, an in
crease since May 1 last of $6,745,
402. The decrease in circulation on
June 1, 1894, is $69,490,000. The

man was much envied. The pre
mium is about double that recently
obtained by the "United States for
its 4 per cent' bonds -with thirty

funds lost in these depositories
since the law has been in operation
to $450,000. Gov. Holcomb vetoed

"Tuesday afternoon the court an
nounced that it" desired further
time to consider the question sub
mitted, and that no further order
wo'uld be made in the case until
next Monday. Mr. "Webster states
that he has had the record prepared
to take the case direct to the
supreme court of the United States,
in view of the jurisdiction question,
and that the cases will be carried
to the supreme court of the United

Idaho, Governor McGraw of "Wash

Colorado. All of them, with a
single exception, and his name is
MacCorkle, are republicans. "We
can't tell for sure, which of them
are of the Irish stock, and which of
the Scotch, but there is no harm in
guessing that McGraw, McConnell
and McCorkle have the humor of
the shamrock in, their veins, and
that Mclntire has the juice of the
thistle in his. As for McKinley,
he goes around as a man of "Scotch
Irish" but why not rather Irish
Scotch.? descent. That is is to
say, some ancestor of his, born
perhaps at Dhu Heartache, in Scot
land, emigrated to somewhere in
Ireland, probably to a place lying
well north of McGillicuddy's Reeks.
How will his presidential boom be
effected by this circumstance? It
is hard to tell, . but inquiry may be
made at Dhu Heartache. New

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
Weather-crop bulletin No. .8
issued from the university of Ne
braska is as follows: "The rain
fall was heaviest in an area extend
ing from Nance county southwest
wards to Franklin and Furnas
counties along which belt it reached
six inches and in places exceeding
eight inches. It was least in the
extreme eastern end of the state,
where it fellshort of an inch over a
limited area. The rainfall thus
was very heavy over all the parts of
the state where the deficiency
heretofore has been most severe and
was everywhere sufficient for pres
ent needs.
Small grain suffered severely
from the hot winds early in the
week, especially in the eastern part
of the state, but since the rains At
has revived in a surprising manfier.
Rye and barley were so far ad
vanced that the hot winds proved
generally fatal as far as the matur
ing of grain is concerned, but the
acreage in any case is small and
the crop has generally beetr cut for
hay or used for pasturage Wheat
has also suffered severely, but in
many cases will make a partial crop.
Oats.; except in a few extreme west-
era and southwestern counties,
have revived to an extent which
promises a partial crop. It is yet
too early to state exactly as to the
result, but estimates indicate that
over the greater portion of the
state at least half a crop may be
expected, and in some portions
nearly an average crop. Corn seems
not to have suffered any injury ex
cept that in limited areas some
damage from washing out by heavy
rains and some from the depreda
tion ot ground squirrels and cut
worms is reported and has rendered
replanting necessary. Since the rain
it has grown rapidly and is in most
excellent condition. Grass in pas
tures and meadows has taken a
new start
ously."

REINFORCEMENTS FOR CAMPOS.

disturbances on the island, probably the
recent Invasion of the province of Santa
Clara by Cuban insurgents, he asks for
a reinforcement of six battalions of in
fantry. But the government seems to
take a less sanguine view of the situa
tion of affairs in Cuba than does the
captain general of that island, for the
oabinet, after thoroughly discussing the
situatdonfrom all its standpoints, has de
cided to send 10 additional battalions of
infantry to Cuba without delay.
The Republicans in the chamber of
deputies today formulated a resolution
asking the government to respect free
discussion of Spanish affairs, plainly re
ferring to the insurrection in Cuba, but
the resolution was rejected by the over
whelming majority of 132 to 19. The
condition of General Prima Rivera, the
captain general of Madrid who was ser

Constantinople, June 0. The situa
tion of affairs so far as the settlement
of questions in dispute between the
Turkish government and the represen
tatives of the powers regarding reform
in Armenia is concerned, shows consid
erable improvement today. This im
provement is undoubtedly due to the
final attitude of the powora in positively '
refusing to accept any modification of
the program which has been mapped
out for the improvement of the condi
tion of Armenia.
The Turkish minister for foreign af

as possible.

REPEATED SHOCKS AT XXOBEXCE.
Panic Stricken People Rtuh In Terror to

Florence, June 6. Thore was a

inff. 1G arousea auiiosc everyoouy nasi-
Vl 1 1 T J t L
; l from then: beds, and when it was
j foUowed by a succession of other subter-
shock in rapid succession, the people be
came panic stricken and rushed in ter
ror to the streets, where they remained
for hours, greatly al aimed. Although
it is not believed any Berious damage
was done, the inhabitants of this city
not having recovered from the panio
which followed the big earthquake of
Saturday, May 18 last, were with diffi
culty persuaded to return to their homes.
The greatest excitement prevailed in
the streets shortly after the earthquake
shocks this morning, whole families re
maining huddled together, guarding
their most valuable possessions, which
they had carried with them in their
flight from their homes. Many people
fell on their knees in the middle of the
streets and prayed, while others seemed
too terrified to do anything but rush
about and add to the feeling of panio
which prevailed. The entire polioe
force of the city was promptly turned
out and the authorities did everything
possible to allay the alarm. So far as
known, tho shocks were only severe
enough to shake down movable articles
from shelves, sideboards, etc., although
there was considerable swaying of
noajcas.

President Sonlos tho Application of ths
Iowa Pension Swindler.
"Washington, June 6. The president
has denied the application for pardon in
the case of George M. Van Leuven.who
was convicted in the United States
court for the Northern district of Iowa
and sentenced Dec. 15 to two years' im
prisonment and to pay a fine of $1,000
for pension frauds. This is a celebrated
case. Van Leuven was convicted in 37
cases. His pardon is asked on account
of ill health, his physician and the war
den of the prison certifying to his seri
ous condition. In denying the applica
tion for a pardon, the president says:
"This convict was leniently treated by
the courts and I do not think the repre
sentations as to his health are sufficient
to justify his pardon."
