SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION.
Republican National Convention Will
Urine a Ftthh
Washington, June 8.—At the Repub
Mean national convention In Minneap
oils In 1S32 a resolution was adopted In
structing the executive committee to
reduce, If In their Judgment proper, the
representation from the South In the
national convention of 1898. The South
Is now entitled to 204 votes out of a
total of 908, and the northern and east
ern Republicans want the southern In
fluence weakened, as that section does
nothing toward the election of a Re
publican president. Senator Elkins of
West Virginia proposes to prevent If
possible the reduction of southern rep
resentation, and will call to his assist
ance Richard C. Kerens of Missouri,
who Is a member of the executive com
mittee. The members of the committee
from the southern slates will be a unit
In opposition to the proposed change,
and Mr. Kerens Is expected to control
the members from the silver states of
the West and thus defeat the resolu

SPANISH MINISTER PROTESTS.
to Filibustering Expeditions.
Washington, June 8.—Mr. De Lome,
the Spanish minister to the United
States, has called the attention of the
state department to allegations that
filibustering expeditions against Span
ish authority In Cuba are being fitted
out In the bayous of the Lower Missis
sippi river. He also says armed citi
zens of some of the southern states
often parade with arms, with a view
to joining some of these outgoing expe
ditions, or at least to give active en
couragement to the Cuban Insurrec
tionists. It Is believed at the depart
ment there is little truth in the reports
which reach here from the South of the
fitting out of warlike expeditions
against Cuba.
Spanish officials here are keeping
close watch on several supposed expe
ditionary movements for the purpose of
furnishing Information on which to re
quest action by the United States gov
ernment. One of the expeditions is be
lieved to have started from Philadel
phia. The suspected ships, it is said,
are the George Childs and Bridgeport.
The Spanish officials connect the move
ments of these ships with suspicious
operations at Dauphin and Cat Island,
on the mouth of the Mississippi.
^THREE MEN HANGED.
Baa Quentin Prison, California, tl;a
Scene of a Triple Execution.
San Francisco, Cal., June 8.—Three
murderers were hanged this morning
at San Quentin. Five men were to have
been executed, but Gov. Budd respited
Fremont Smith and Rico Morasco. The
three men who suffered the death pen
alty are Patrick Collins, A. MIllo Gar
cia and Anthony Azoff. Collins stabbed
his wife to death because she would no
longer supply him with liquor. A. Mllto
Garcia is a Mexican. Last year near
Colton, San Bernardino county, he cut
the throat of an old Frenchman. The
purpose was robbery. Anthony Azoff
shot and killed Ben Harris, a Southern
Pacific detective. Azoff was a high
wayman. He had robbed a railroad
station agent and the detective had
traced him to Boulder Creek, when Har
ris attempted to place him under arrest.
Azoff drew a revolver and shot him.
CONDITION OF KANSAS WHEAT
Southern and Western Portions of tho
State Badly Damaged.
Wichita, Kan., June 8.—Conservative
estimates of the probable wheat crop in
southern and western Kansas are: Cow
ley County, one-fourth crop; Sedgewick
County, one-half crop: Sumner County,
one-fourth crop; Reno County, not to
exceed one-fourth of a crop. There will
be a good half crop In Harstro County.
In all the counties along the main line
of the Santa Fe west and in the counties
south of the main line there will be a
total failure of whet. In the territory
visited by the recent heavy rains the
wheat Is filling out much better than
was anticipated. Taking Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory as a whole, there
will probably not be as much wheat
raised as was put in for seed. Corn in
southern Kansas is in splendid condi
tion, and the prospects Indicate the larg
est crop for years.
BANKER CASSATT ARRESTED.
culture of the Pella National Bank As*
turning a Serious Look.
Des Moines, Iowa, June 8.—Ex-Sen
ator E. R. Cassatt, until recently the
president of the First National-Bank of
Pella, arrived here yesterday on the
Rock Island train with Ifnited States
Marshal Gray. Investigation shows
that $60,000 of the bank's funds are miss
ing, much of it belonging to the poor
of the town. While it is generally
known that part of his dealings on the
board of trade was alleged to have been
done through a Des Moines bucket-shop,
his later and larger deals were made in
Chicago. The amount of cash on hand
Is $8,000, while the examiner’s report for
January showed the amount on hand to
be 40 per cent of the full amount. The
fact that the present cashier, J. H. Stu
benruch, swore to the bank's being in a
solvent condition on March 5 and May
7 place* him in a peculiar position.

A SHOCKING STORY,
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST
PACIFIC MAIL STEAMSHIP CO.
Cu»tav Rowan. One of the Passenger*
Rescued from the Steamer Colima.
Says the People on Board Were
Practically Murdered.
San Francisco, Cal., June 10.—Gustav
Kowan, one of the survivors of the
Colima, has sent a communication to a
local paper In which he says:
"I want to make a etatefnent. Some
of the survivors will not dare to tell
the truth as they have been promised
money to keep still. The Colima was
lost because she was badly handled by
officers without capacity and by bad
men when the gale struck us. When I
saw that the ship was going to sink I
went after the life preservers and com
menced to give them out to the passen
gers. The steward told me to let them
alone and ordered me forward. I was
saved because I got a life preserver
and If the others had been allowed to
get them; too, many would have been
saved with me.
"The passengers were kept penned up
until the last moment and then made to
go down in the ocean like a pack of
dogs. If some of the passengers had
killed the steward who kept them from
getting safety it would have been
mercy to the others. In spite of what
he told me I kept on giving out life pre
servers and by this saved some of the
people from death.
The Chronicle says that as a result
of the testimony given at the federal
Inquiry into the cause of the Colima
disaster a number of suits for damages
will be brought against the Pacific
Mall steamship company.
FATAL FLOOD IN HUNGARY.
I» Feared the Town of Koberdadorf la
Swept Away.
London, June 10.—A dispatch to the
Standard from Vienna gives additional
particulars of the flooding of Koberds
dorf, the Hungarian summer resort. So
sudden was the rise of the freshet that
it was not realized until the bodies of
the dead peasantry, pieces of buildings
and furniture from the cottages came
floating into the lower part of the town.
One of the remarkable incidents of
the flood was related by some of the
persons who escaped to the mountains.
It was the story of the manner in which
a cradle containing a sleeping child was
forced down the gorges by the rushing
waters. The child was rescued with
difficulty by those in the lower part of
the village. Owing to the damage to
the wires, it is impossible to ascertain
the exact loss of life, but it is feared
that the whole town has been destroyed.
It Is, however, known that twelve
bodies of the Inhabitants of this one
village have been recovered.
Brazil Sues for I.ibeL
New York, Jnue 10.—A special cable
to the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
“In refutation of stories which ex
President Caceres of Peru has been

night wired La Preusa that no agree-*
ment existed between himself and the
Chilian government, and that all as
sertions to the contrary were absolutely
false. Brazil has ordered her minister
here to prosecute the Petit Journal, a
French newspaper, for an alleged In
sulting article about Brazil In connec

Advices have been received here that
Mr. Benton was killed three days ago
by falling over the side of a cliff. His
companion is on his way to Nogales,
Arizona, with the body of the dead
man.
May Clash with Socialists.
Vienna, June 10.—It was intended that
the socialists' demonstration on Sun
day should be prohibited. Thousands
of workmen, however, have already de
cided to take part in the procession, and
it may be impossible to prevent a
demonstration. The police have orders
to do all in their power to stop the
meetings of the socialists, and, as the
officials have recently been reprimanded
for undue leniency to those taking part
in these movements, serious trouble is
expected.
Tribesmen Attack British.
Calcutta, June 10.—Dispatches from

DATE OF NEW TARIFF LAW.
Chief Justice Fuller Holds That It
Went Into Effect on .lug. 28.
Washington, June 10.—Chief Justice
Fuller’s opinion in the Burr and Hard
wick case, Involving the date when the
present tariff law went Into effect,
which was announced on Monday last,
but not read, was made public to-day.
Discussing the contention that the law
should have taken effect on August 1
instead of on August 28, 1894, the Chief
Justice says:
"Upon the threshold we are met with
the fact that the act of 1890 was not
repealed In terms until August 28, 1894,
and that the repealing section of the
latter act kept In force every right and
liability of the government, or of every
person, which has been incurred or ac
crued prior to the passage thereof and
thereby every right or liability was ex
cepted out of the effect sought to be
given to the first section. The right of
the government to duties under the tar
iff law which existed between August
1 and August 28 was a right accruing
prior to the passage of the act «f *1894,
and the obligation of the importers be
tween August 1 and August 28 to pay
the duties on their goods on the exist
ing tariff law was a liability under that
law arising prior to the passage of the
law of 1894; and if congress intended
that section A should revert Hack to
August 1, still the intention is quite as
apparent that the act of 1890 should re
main In full force and effect until the
passage of the new act on August 28
and that all acts done, rights accrued
and liabilities incurred under the ear
lier act prior to the repeal should be
saved from the effect thereof as to all
parties interested, the United States In
cluded.
“A higher rate was imposed on many
articles by the act of 1894 than by the
prior act, and a lower rate on others,
while some that were free were made
dutiable, as, for Instance, the article of
sugar. Must duties paid between Au
gust 1 and August 28 be refunded where
the rate was lowered, and assessed
where the rate was raised, or a duty
imposed where none existed? Clearly
not.”
Summing up, the Chief Justice says:
“As the act of 1890 was not repealed
by the act of 1894 until the latter act
became a law, when inconsistent laws
were declared thereby repealed, we
think it cannot be doubted that con
gress intended the rates of duty pre
scribed by the act of 1894 to be levied
on the first day of August, if the bill
should then be a law, and if not, then
as soon after that date as it should be
come a law. On the first day of August
the duties prescribed by the first sec
tion of the act of 1894 could not be law
fully levied, and so far as the importa
tions in this case are concerned and
others similarly situated, the law re
quired exaction of the duties prescribed
by the act of 1890. As to such importa
tions, the first section of the act of
1894 could not be literally carried out
unless by holding it to operate as a
clause, and this we consider altogether
Indispensable. The language of section
1 was “that on and after August 1 there
be levied,'* and of the second section,
“that on and after August 1” certain
enumerated articles shall be exempt
from duty. In our judgment the word
“shall” spoke for the future and was
not Intended to apply to transactions
completed when the act became a law.”
INDIANS WANT ALLOTMENT.
Omaha* Anxious to Control Their Tribal
Lands Themselves.
Pender, Neb., June 10.—United States
Senator Allen held a council with the
Omaha Indians at the Omaha agency
to personally Inform himself in regard
to the controversy which is menacing
the peace of this county. The conten
tion is in regard to the disposition of
their tribal lands, of which they have
about fifty thousand acres. A number
of Prominent Omaha Indians told the
senator that their people were unani
mous in a desire for an immediate al
lotment in order that they might handle
their tribal lands themselves. The sub
ject of the five-year lease on a 23,000
acre tract of these lands to Contractor
Farley was then brought up, the In
dians claiming the contract was inter
preted to them as a one-year lease.
To Discuss Currency Question.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 10.—The ex
