S.—Thera are but two sorghum sugar factories in the state and neither of them wilt make any sugar this year. One Is at Medicine Lodge and the other in this city. The lat ter made over 730,030 pounds of sugar last season and claimed over 911,000 bouuty. The former made less than 100.000 pounds, owing to a failure of the cano crop. This year both factories were contemplating an unprecedented output, as the canc crop is exceptionally good, but it is being worked into sorghum and ship ped out, the managers claiming that the sugar duty does not enhance the price of sugar sufficiently to make sugar as profitable ns sorghum. The sugar industry which six years ago seomod so promising in Kansas cannot be adjudged a success. Even witli the advantage* of a bounty of two conts a pound the six mills in op eration in the state in 1380 had been reduced to two in 1303, and the ma chinery had been shipped to Louisiana for sugar cane factories. The manu facture of sorghum, however, is rapid ly becoming a feature of farming in Southeast Kansas and an average of over a do:'.on cars a week are shipped from this city. TO DOWN TAMMANY. A Great Mass Msotlng field In the In terest of Helorm* New York. Sept. 8.—A great mass meeting of citizens in opposition to the Tammany hall was held last night in the Madison Square Carden concert hall. It was called by Gustavo II. Schwab, IV.

A motion was made to adopt the ad dress if the platform of the meeting, but Robert 11. Roosevelt obj -cted to having a cut and dried resolution, lie wanted organization first. Alfred R. Conklin said they were already or ganized. ‘‘The good government clubs, tho German-American reform unions and the Republicans, who are 100,000 strong, will join any indepen dent movement to down Tammanv hall.” J On motion of Samuel P. Archibald, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That a committee of 100 be appointed by the chair with full power to co-operate with other anti Tammany organizations to further the objects of this meeting as set forth by the call therefor and the ad dress just adopted.

Washington lodges will endeavor to raise a fund to pur chase the hall which was the birth place of the fraternity. The supreme lodge to day set aside the action of the supreme chancellor and major general of the Uniform Rank is dishonorably dismissing from the rank Colonel W. D. Critcliton of Fresno, Cal., on the ground that he had not been given a hearing. This action still leaves the case open for the preferment of charges. English Salt Is Free. Washington, Sept 8.—The treasury department yesterday, in a letter in answer to an inquiry from the Leroy Salt company, of Leroy, N. Y., says salt imported from England is free from• duty under the new law, inasmuch as England does not impose a duty on salt imported into that country from the United States. This decision, however, does not apply to Canada and some other English dependencies. Democrat! Stand by Their Deader*. VYasiiikoton, Sept. 8.—The Demo* cratic congressional committee has advices that of the total nominations made in districts now Democratic 131 are ronominations. Of these ninety seven, or 74 per cent are renomina tious of present incumbents. Secre tary Gardiner regards this as a high percentage of renominations and con siders that it indicates a high degree of confidence in the present represen tatives. Green Goods Man Caught.

Hr. Wilson's District. Ei.kins, W. Va., Sept. 7.—The Re publicans of the Second congressional district never had as large a conven tion as the one that yesterday nom inated Alston Gordon Dayton of Bar bour county, to run against Chair man W. L. Wilson for congress. Ex President Harrison arrived at 1 p. m. by special train from Cumberland and with his daughter, Mrs. McKee, is the guest of ex-Secretary Elkins. A committee was appointed to call on the ex-president and invite him to address the convention. When the committee escorted the distinguished , visitor to the open air convention there was a demonstration. Mr. Har rison said: "I came here to this beautiful val ley of mountains to pay a visit to a citizen with whom I have been very pleasantly associated. It was not ex pected I should be called upon to ad dress any public body, but when in vited I chose to. “You are assembled to discharge an important public duty, and I will not. therefore, detain you with and ' speech. This district will be before all eyes this autumn. This contest is not local. It happens that your pres ent representative has been assigned to prepare the tariff bill and has at tached his name to it. It is therefore expected his conduct will be sub jected to severe and careful scrutiny. Fortunately the proclamation has been made by President Cleveland and Mr. Wilson that the tariff bill is dot a finality, butthis estructive war fare is to go on. If you approve this, show it by returning Mr. Wilson to congress, but if, on the other hand, you have felt the effects of the de pression; if you think more of those who prefer to lead the country through a slough of despondency, show it by defeating him. .“I can not say much of the last ad ministration; delicacy forbids me to say much of this, but if you consider the heads of departments amd subor dinate officers, you will see there was an attempt to act for the best inter ests of the people. I can not say how we have succeeded, but only that we' have done the best we could do. If the people at elections this fall con demn the recent action on the tariff we shall have an end of tariff tinker ings. When the tide of emigra tion started from the sea-board it turned to Ohio and the interior valleys, but it is now toward West Virginia. Now the- spring of commerce is coursing through our fertile valley. The pick and shovel are busy. Is this a time through the cheap ocean rates to bring into competition with your pro ducts the cheap coal of Nova Scotia? I speak as a patriotic American who feels an interest in the honest people. To your judgment by the quiet No vember firesides this question must be settled, and may you have the courage to do your duty. I thank you for your attention and hope you will speedily nominate the best man.” The ex-president was received with enthusiasm, and his brief speech favorably commented on by the other speakers. He was applauded at vari ous points KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS LAWS. The Supreme Lodge Discusses the Pro posed New Statutes. Washington, Sept. 7.—The supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, devoted its morning session to the discussion of the proposed new statutes and adop tion of a new system of transfer of membership. Under former rules a member taking a card of withdrawal from a lodge ceased to be a member of the order and was obliged to apply for admission to another lodge on the same terms as one who had never been initiated. The new rules pro vide that by paying dues for ninety days a knight may retain his mem bership in his old lodge unless ad mitted to another lodge within that time. The reports of the committees fav oring exclusion of liquor dealers from future membership in the order and the restraint of the German lodges from performing tho ritual in their language are ready for presentation, but will probably not be considered until late in the session. It is uode stoqd the report upon several past su preme chancellors recommends that a committee be appointed to investi gate the circumstances of the Indian apolis meeting and if the action of that meeting is found to constitute disloyalty the past supreme chancel lors who took part be disbarred from participation in the proceedings of the supreme lodge. Cholerine In on Immigrant Car. Pittsburo, Pa., Sept 7.—The emi grant car from which a suspected vic tim of cholera was taken at New Cumberland, W.

Guy Mo Candless, member of the state board of health, and Health Officer Baker examined the party to-day. They think the man who died was suffering from cholera morbus or cholerine. CRAZED BY DISSIPATION. Ths Wayward Son of nn Austrian Cab bluet minister Sent to nn Asylum. Chicago, Sept 7.—Anton von Karab, formerly an officer in the Austrian army and son of Count von Karab, a member of the cabinet of the emperor of Austria, was adjudged insane here to-day and sent to an asylum. He became dissipated and after marrying the Countess von Lsnguar, was com pelled to leave his native country be oause of his waywardness. He had' been in Chicago twelve years and his insanity is thought to be the result of his dissipation. VILAS ON THE ISSUES. *h« Wlaoonila Venator Makes a apoeeh at Milwaukee, Mil w atom, Win., Sept 7.—The ■tate Democratic convention was called to order promptly at noon to day by Chairman Wall, who announced that Senator W. F. Vilas would be temporary chairman. A roar of ap plause followed this announcement which was renewed when the senator appeared on the stage. After a few words of introduction, he dculared that forebodings of the present disas trous conditions were apparent as far back as 1884, when President Arthur appealed to Hugh McCulloch to take charge of the treasury. Daniel Man ning sacrificed his life to restore pros perity, and his sacrifice brought about a happy period in the nation and gave to the Republicans in 1880 a rich in heritance. Two years later the poli cy of postponing payment of just debts was inaugurated, and when the Harrison administration closed the treasury was a heavy burden. The evils that had fallen upon the country Mr. Vilas attributed to three causes—tho Fifty-first or so-called billion dollar congress with all its misdeeds; its silver purchasing law; its McKinley protection act, and its unexampled extravaganoe, not only indirect appropriation but in entail ing future obligations yet to be dis charged. The Cleveland administra tion had expended 8878,395,110.8T ex department and tho reduction of the public debt; the Harrison administra tion expended 81,202,542,771.30. This was tho cnuso of the national distress of 1893, for a nation could no more squander its substance In riotous liv ing- and escape tho penalty than any prodigal spendthrift. Mr. Vilus attacked the Sherman silver purchase law, by which, he de clared, the Western Republican silver states wero furnished a customer at the expense of the peoplo of the whole country. The inevitable con sequences followed. Tho government was sot to work inflating and impair ing tho currency of the country. Dis trust crept into the channels of busi ress; capitalists abroad quietly push ed their American securities upon the market, and gold began to make its way to foreign lands. It was in another form the triumph of green backism. The silver dollar was made a legal tender, yet silver continued to decline in the market. A thousand million dollars of silver certificates had been issued which tho govern ment practically bound itsoli to re deem in gold because if it redeemed them in silver it dropped the cur rency at once to a basis of silver monometalism, while their redemp tion in gold would not only impose a ruinous loss, but it was prnotleally impossible. Senator Vilas then reviewed at length the difficulties that had been placed in the way of repealing the pernicious causes of the disasters by the Republican minority in congress, beginning with tho Sherman act, down to the McKinley law. The in come tax stood most acceptable among its particular provisions and all men were compelled to confess its justice. The most grievous thing manifested in the battle for tariff reform was the power displayed by the trusts and combinations — the natural enemies of Democracy—and tho dis covery of their hold upon some within the ranks of the Democratic party. In the salary list over 600 offices have been abolished and 8700,000 annually saved thereby, while the appropriations were 828,835,089.70 less than those made at the last session of the pre ceding congress, and 850,555,491.78 less than those of the last session of the Fifty-first congress. Senator Vilas then reviewed the history of the Republican party to show that it had long ago fulfilled its mission of usefulness, and was now merely a party of opposition without any defined or controlling principle. It was willing to consort with the Populists of Alabama or the bigoted A. P. A. of Wisconsin in the despera tion of its decaying life. WAITINQ ON CANDIDATES. The Congressional Campaign Committees Making; No Speaking Assignments. Washington, Sept. 7.—The congres sional campaign committees of both parties are doing nothing in the way of assignments of speakers in the campaign unless appealed to by the managers of the district. The candi dates prefer to make their own ar rangements, it is found. Whenever an appeal is made for speakers from a district, however, there will be a sup ply furnished though there is no reg ular supply arranged for such contin gencies. Comptroller ... H. Mansur of the treasury went to West Virginia to day to make a speech iu W. L. Wil son’s behalf. The campaign text books of both parties are in type and will come from the press in a few days. The Demo cratic committee is circulating thou sands of leaflets with extracts from the Wool Trade Journal showing lb creased prices for wool. Dempsey and McCarthy Han an Inde cisive Battle. New Obleans, La., Sept. 7.—Jack Dempsey and Billy McCarthy of Australia fought a drawn battle last night in the arena of the Auditorium Athletic club before a large audience. Both men were carefully trained and entered the ring promptly at 9 o'clock, followed by their seconds. Each re ceived a fair share of applause, but the greeting given to Dempsey clearly showed that his friends were in the majority. The contest was confined to twenty rounds. John Duffy was referee. The S3,000 purse was di vided. 1 SATOLLI SUPREME. The Fops Preparing an Encyclical Lottoi to Amerlena Catholics. New Yoke, Sept 7.—A dispatch dated Rome says that the pope is pre paring an encyclical letter addressed to the bishops and people of the United States announcing the abso lute supremacy of the apostolie dele gate in church matters in the United States, with the simple right of ap peal to the pope. The apostolie dele gation will take the place of the pro paganda fide in direeting religious affairs in tha United States. A WOMAN’S CHARGES. A STATEMENT PUT FORTH BY MRS. CLASSBROOK. What *ha Has to Sajr of Senator Stewart —Sara the Dlatlngalshed Nevadian Droned Her—Telia a Startling Story of Her Relatlona With the Senator— Gave Her Malaria Medicine Which Fat Her to Sleep—Ho Wat Alwaya Affec tionate and Tender to Her. Washington, Sopt. 0.—Mrs. Carrie Brady Glusscock, tho defendant to the divorce suit in which Senator Stewart of Nevada,, is the co-respond ent, has written » statement of her side of the case for the Raleigh, N. C., Nows and Observer. She gives in de tail the story of her alleged relations with the Nevada senator, beginning with her office-seeking attempts in Washington and of the senator prom ising her a position and loaning her monoy when the position hud not been obtained. Her statement, after narrating the senator's absence from the city, then goes on as follows: “He (Senator Stewart) was very cordial and friendly, oven fatherly toward me. His venerable face pre vented his demonstrations of uffeo tion from being as offensive as they otherwise would have been. Ho seated me on his sofa and inquired after my health. As I was still afflicted with malaria he said he had a sure remedy, which he took himself. Hu made up a dose in a glass and gave It to me to drink. It put me to sleep. When I came to myself I found he had taken advantage of me. I ac cused him of his crime and started to leave the offloe. Ho pleaded with mo not to make a scene, that he had a family at home; that he had been overcome with his attach ment for me; that he had obliged mo bo long; had worked so hard to get me a position; hud given ino money when my family was sick and I was in grout distress; that I ought not to do him the great in jury of exposure. He assured mo lie had cortain and immediate pros pects of receiving u permanent posi tion for me with a large salary, which would place mo and my children in comfort and beyond all want in the future. His promises and flattery finally overcame my indignation and I consented to accept the position he was soon to have ready for me. “When I called again to receive tho appointment it was not ready, but his promises and flattery were. Ho had now acquired power over mo, as I had not exposed him, he could expose mo, besides I owed him monoy I could not pay.” Then follows details of money paid, prom isos to obtain the position and frequent calls at the senator’s office. “One of his bank cheeks," Mrs. Glass cock says, “which was found in my pocket by my husband, aroused his suspicions, and then he followed me when I went out and had others watch me. He met me soon afterward com ing out of the senator's room. He created a stormy scene with me and I realized the great shadows into which I had been loud, and life no longer appeared worth living, and but for my children I think I would have drowned myself.” Mrs. Glasscock then narrates the bringing of a suit for divorce by her husband and her fruitless appeals to Senator Stewart for relief for herself and family. Senator Stewart was seen concern ing the statements of Mrs. Glasscock, but beyond reiterating tho charge that the husband and wife were try ing to extort money from him and to blackmail him, he would say nothing. The case, he said, was in court and ho would make no further statement before the coming trial. CONFER V/ITH CARLISLE. Drajiliti Have a Talk With the Seen* tarjr on the Alcohol Sohednle. Washington, Sept. 0.—Yesterday a number of gentlemen representing the National Wholesale Druggists' association held a conference with Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner Miller of the internal revenue bureau on the free alcohol section of the new tariff bill. Secretary Carlisle explained the di lemma in which he and Mr. Miller found themselves. The law was a mere skeleton, without money or ma chinery to put it into operatiou, nor could the department employ agents to be paid by the manufacturers, the statutes expressly prohibiting it Al together he could not see how it was possible to enforce the law without any supervision and this would, no doubt, lead to unlimited fraud. Then again, it was a very perplexing and difficult thing, th'e secretary said, to deter mine just what construction should be put upon the words, “the arts,” “medicinal preparations’’ and “other like compounds.’’ There was likely to be a very great difference of opin ion on this subject. He, however, would be glad of any aid the whole sale druggists or any one else could give him. Mr. Carlisle’s explanation, most of the members of the delegation thought, rendered any further talk unnecessary. They were frank to admit that they saw no way out of the difficulty except to let the matter go over to the Lext session of con gress. At the unanimous request of the delegation the secretary will hold the matter open for a few days to en able the members of the association to present their views._ A reward of 9100 has been offered for the discovery of President Ken nedy of Amity college at College City, Iowa, who mysteriously disappeared a month ago.
