SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION.
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.

THREE MEN HANGED.
San Qacntln Prison. California. tl
Scene of a Triple Execution.
San Francisco. Cal., June 8. Three
murderers were hanged this morning
at San Quentln. Five men were to have
been executed, but Gov. Budd respited
Fremont Smith and Rico Moraseo. The
three men who suffered the death pen
alty are Patrick Collins. A. Mlllo Gar
cia and Anthony Azoff. Collins stabbed
his wife to death because she would no
longer supply him with liquor. A. MUlo
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 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.

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."

Charleston. S. C. June 10. Trouble
that has been brewing at the Bulow

rious enough to demand the attention
of Sheriff Morrison and a large posse of
deputies. Nine arrests were made, and
when the sheriff was bringing In his

WILL JCOT ARM INDIANS.
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.
Arrhbiihop Kenrlck Not Deposed.
Rome, June 6. It is said at the Vat
ican the action taken by the pope doea
not depose Archbishop Kenrlck from
his present title or position, nor does
it appoint Archbishop Kain as his suc
cessor. It was made for the purpose
of assisting in the management and
administration of the church prop
erty of the archdiocese. It does not in
any way make Archbishop Kaln the
successor of Archbishop Kenrlck, but
gives him such strong powers as co
adjutor that he will be able to carry
on the laborious work of managing the
church property and affairs as though
he were archbishop in name or facL
This will bring no deposition or re
moval of the venerable head of the
archdiocese. Eminent Missionary Dead.
