Republican Xatlonal Conrention Win llrlng a Fight. Washington. June 8. At the Repub lican national convention In Minneap olis in 1S92 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 1896. The South Is now entitled to 204 votes out of a total of 906, and the northern and east ern Republicans want the southern In fluence weakened, as that section does nothing: toward th 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 states 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 tion. SPANISH MINISTER PROTESTS. Calls the Attention of Oar Government 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'Unlted 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 Chllds and Bridgeport. The Spanish officials connect the move ments of these ships with suspicious operations at Dauphin and Cat Island. 3n the mouth of the Mississippi. THREE MEN HANGED. San Qacntln Prison.

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 O i &ansa,s Wheat Southern and Western Portions of the m State ltdly Damaged. Wichita. Kan.. June 8. Conservative estimates of the probable wheat crop In southern and western Kansas are: Cow ley County, one-fourth crop; Sedgewlck County, one-half crop; Sumner County, one-fourth crop; Rf-no Counts, not to exceed one-fourth of a crop. Th?re will be a good half crop In Harstro County. In all the counties alontr the main line 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. Fall a re of the Telia National Rank As suming a Serious Look. Des Moines, Iowa, June 8. Ex-Senator E. R. Cassatt, until recently the president of the First National Bank of Pella, arrived here yrsrerday on the Rock Island train with United States Marshal Gray. Investigation shows that 160.000 of th 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 places him in a peculiar position. Statue to Sir John Mardonald. Montreal, Que., June 8.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK OF THE COUNTRY IS BRIGHT. Dan's Weekly Review Shown a 5ratlfy Ins Increase la G eiu-r.il 1'ronperltT Gain Has lleeu liapid Failures for the Week. New York, June 10. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, says: "The tide of business is rising, even as it was falling Just two years ago, with surprising rapidity. The gain has gone so far and so fast in some branches that the more conservative fear it may not be maintained. But the period of dullness which comes in each market after an unusual rise brings as yet nothing like a corres ponding decline. Industries gain much. halt or fall back a little, and then gain once more. The demand for consump tion 6teadlly Increases as the employ ment and wages of the people In crease. "Demand for money expands, one bank reporting 29 per cent larger In the discounts for the country and another 23 per cent more commercial loans than a year ago, and all but two report some gain. The serious question remains whether the crop will be full enough to sustain a large business. But the worst reports to-day are better by far than the estimates recently current. Wheat rose 2 cents, fell back 2. with realizing, and has again risen 3. with a western estimate of a crop 80.000,000 bushels smaller than last year. It Is pertinent to remember that official and most unofficial reports, down to a late period last fall, put the yield about 80,000.000 bushels lower than It Is now known to have been. Western receipts were 264.000 more than last year, and In five weeks have been 7.671.031 bushels, against 6.991,630 last year, while At lantic exports, flour Included. 670.000 bushels smaller for the week, have been in five weeks 7.7SS.S2S bushels, against 11.945.478 last year. There is neither holding back by farmers nor anxious haste in purchasing by foreigners to support belief in scarcity. Cotton de clined an eighth with better weather at the south, but excitement and prices rose again with the report of only 11.8 per cent decrease in acreage. Much greater decrease had been called cr taln. but condition Is reported less fa vorable than last year. June began with 9 ".3.293 bales already in sight, and 3.3o230 American remaining in commercial stocks, while European spinners hc May 1 over a million bales, according ?5 Ellison. "Iron pushed upward like the great buildings into which so much of it goes, and the advance in finished products has become general. Of structural steel 12.C00 tons were turned out In May by the Homestead works, breaking the record, and prices rose to 1.3 cents bor beams, and 5.2 for angles. Coke pro ducers are said to have substantially agreed upn sales by an agency and al lotment of the output anJ an advance in price to 11.50 or higher. Chicago works are in full operation, though the demands from agricultural Implement makers lags because the coming har vest is in doubt. Failures for the week have been 195 for the United States against 216 last year, and 25 in Canada against 40 last year." RIOTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Trouble at the llutow Mine Ha He rn me Serlou.

Agent of the Omaha Reservation Dealea a Startling Rumor. Pender, Neb., Junt 6. Little Interest Is excited on the Omaha reservation by the report that the authoaitles at Wash ington have authorised the arming of the Indian police to eviot the settlers. The report is not credited. Cact. Beck has repeatedly asserted that he would not place loaded guns In tho hands of redskins and turn them loose to ejeet the settlers. Beck demands that the settlers cancel their leases with the Flournoy Land company and lease their farms direct from him. The set tlers have been paying rent from year to year to the Flournoy people, who claim ta have a long lease from the In dians. Beck has declared that the Flournoy company obtained their lease from the Indians by fraud and that in canceling It he is merely proteotlng the Interests of the Indians. There are only twenty regular Indian police, though Beck has authority to swear in any or all of the 600 redeklne on the Omaha reservation. While there are only 200 settlers on the reservation di rectly Involved the hundreds of farmers In Thurston County are largely In sym pathy with them. The settlers have ar ranged to apply to Judge Dundy of the Federal court at Omaha for an injunc tion restraining Federal troops inter fering in the affairs of Thurston Coun ty. Gov. Holcomb will be appealed to to oppose Federal troops with militia, and an interesting clash of State. Fed eral. Judicial and municipal authority is likely to be the result.
