A New York woman has applied for
a position In President McKlnley's cab
inet. There is no vacancy at present In
the cabinet, it Is true, but that doesn't
matter; she desires to be added to
the present force. She says that the
reason Lincoln, Gartield and Carnot
fell was because they did not know
enough to have a woman In the cabi
net. She adds that "a woman would
have read the handwriting on the wall.
The night Lincoln was shot I had a
pain In my head, niul when Garfield
was shot I had a pain in my abdomen.
When Carnot got his wound my heart
stood still with pain." It Is very evi
dent that that woman doesn't want a
cabinet position so badly as she wants
a doctor.
Sensational preachers now Insist that
the whole country is going to Hades,
because jieople no longer attend church
regularly, as they once did. It Is not a
hard matter to account for this seem
ing lack of Christian devotion. In old
en times people went to church to hear
the gospel preached. That is the very
last thing sensational preachers think
of doing. They find it a much easier
matter to prepare sermons on base
ball, bicycling, politics and things of
thai kind, than to go into the sacred
scriptures for a text. Such sermons are
not calculated to renew Christian vigor,
and are looked upon kindly by those
who have a desire to travel in the
strait and narrow way. It's not the
jxttple who are going to the devil, it's
the sensationalism.
Chicago Chronicle: The eMxioan con
sul in Chicago objects, to the payment
of water rates, just as another consul
objected to the payment of a dog tax.
Kach of tin se representatives of his
country points, with pride to a treaty
of commerce and amity existing be
tween his own country and the United
States, and says that under Its provis
ions he is entirely exempt from fed
eral tuxes. So he is. P.ut the United
States can no more control the munici
pality of Chicago lu the levy and col
lection of water in tea or dog taxes than
It can dictate the menu for Victoria's
next dinner. The Mcxhau consul has
no more claim on Chicago to deliver
water Into the place of his residence
than he has claim ou this city or the
State of Illinois to supply him during
his resilience in this city with whisky.
Resident consuls are doubtless very
nice gentlemen, but during their stay
In Chicago they are amenable to the
municipal regulations as any other res-1
ident of Chicago is, whether citizen or!
alien, and will be expected to pay as
they go.

: . .
eaid not many retorts were
receivea
; from ti,e
vnrioua mining district!
throughout the country aa to the prog
ress ol the strike. President Hatch ford
said it would require several days to re
ceive full information on this . point, as
the district president" would necessarily
have to have time to communicxte with
tlie numeroii" locals before reporting to
national headquarters as to the com
pletenesR of the suspension. Monday
being observed n many places as a na
tional holioay will naturally retirci the
rep irts to some extent. Tlie informa
tion which the national ollicials hav) at
hand is of a general nature and is to tlx
effect that the miners have generallj
suspended work and tu tlrike promise
to be a success.
The success of the whole movement
seems to d&volve upon the men in ihs
Pittsburg district, and judging from the
last advices received frcm that field tl
miners there propose to do their pirr.
Ko fa' as can be learned the operators
in both the Pittsburg and Ohio districts
io not intend to put forth any effort to
start iheir mines, but have concluded to
quietly close down and await develope
nieii's. At least it will require several
jaya for t3 operators to determine up
on what course to pursue.
President Hatch ford said he had been
asbmi hed at the great number of tele
grams received from operators request
ing permbeion to operate their mines
by paying tlie price demanded by the
miners. Thei-e requests could not be
granted for the reason that to do to
would be defeating the very object which
the strike is intended to accomplish.
The Ohio operators w'll be giverned in
their course entirely by the actions of
the Pittsburg operators. If the latter
agree to an advance in tlie price the
Ohio operators will not object, but will
readily pay the advance.

Tea Ctil ur, ii This C'oiiniry.
Washington, July .--Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson bus rec ived a re
port from a veteran agriculturist, whom
he sent recently to invtstigate tlie tea
farming industry carried on at Summer
ville, S. C, with a view ;o ascertaining
the prospects of pro li table grow tli to tlie
tea plant in this country. The report
says the labor question is the most im
portant one in the economics of this
business in thia country. II estimates
the minimum coat at about efght times
as much to pick one pound of tea in
South Carolina as thatpaiu for the same
service in Asia.
In districts favored with eurficient
heat and rains the plants furnish from
til teen to twenty pickings yearly. In
the Sown Carolina fields the conserva
tion of m lirture by ibaiuii g in enhanced
by Kysiematic nui face culture. The re
port suggests that it seems impractica
ble to compete with the cheap oriental
labor, and while fome of the processes
of development have been delegated to
machinery, the picking of the leaves re
quires discrimination, but the problem
lias been met by establishing a small
Bcho'jl, where tea p cuing is included.
Seeds have bejn imported from all
tea regions, etpecially from high alti
tudes. A vegetation of one-tbird of the
seeds ia a general average and the loss
of a whole importation is no novelty.
With careful pruning plants here
should maintain their pristine vigor for
forty years, but pruning is a cosily
manipulation. The report urges the
development of knowledge as to tea
raising by means of schools.
.Me Kin ley at Home
Canton, O., July 7. President Mc
Kinley arose at an early hour yesterday
morning. The thermometer has been in
the SKIs and did not get much below
that during the night, The president
undertook to take a stroll through the
yard before the sun was high in the
heavens, and shortly after joined his
mother, who was sitting on the front
porch.
Mother McICinley met with an acci
dent, serious for one of her age. In
walking on the porch she stumbled in a
piece of straw carpeting as she took a
Step and fell to the floor, striking her
forehead over the eyes on a doorstep.
Although eighty-eight years old, she
was n )t so stunned but that she was
able to arise in a few moments and
walk to a stand, where she washed
away trio blood. She makes light of
the occurence. A doctor was summoned
however, and he found tho cut so deep
as to require sewing up. This she
insisted on having done without taking
an anaesthetic. At noon she did not
eeem to be suffering seriously from the
hock and was resting easily. The
string of callars at the house did not be
gin until sometime after the ac ident,
the newa of which did not leach the

Washington, July 8. By the decisive
vote of 38 to 28 the tariff bill was passed
in the oenate shortly before 5 o'clock
yesterday.
The culmination of the ion? and ar
duona struggle had excited the .Leanest
intei est and the floor and the gjleries
of the senate chamber were crowded bj
those anxious to witness the closing
scene. Speaker Reed, Chairman Dingley
and many of the members of the houat
of representatives were in the rear area,
while every seat in the galleries, save
e reserved for foreign representa
tives, was occupied.
The main interest centered in the final
vote, and aside from this there wa9 lit
tle of a dramatic character in the de
bate. The early part of the day was
spent on amendments of comparatively
minor importance, the debate brandl
ing into financial and anti-trust chan
nels. By 4 o'clock the senators began
manifesting their impatience by calls
'for vote," and soon thereafter the last
amendment was disposed of and the
final vote began. There were many in
terruptions as pairs were arranged and
then at 4:55 the vice president arose
and announced the passage of the bill
yeas 38, miys 28. There was no demon
stration but a few scattering handclaps
were given as the crowds dispersed.

Waltbail and White 28.
An analysis of the first vote shows
that the affirmative wag cast by thirty
five r- publicans, two silver republicans,
Jones of Nevada and Mantle and one
democrat, Mc.Enery.
The negative vote was cast by twenty
five democrats, two populists, Harris of
Kansas and Turner, and one silver re
publican, Cannon. Eight republicans
were paired for the bill and eight demo
crats against ic. The senators present
and not voting were: Populists five,
via., Allen, Butler, Heitfeld, Kyle and
Stewart; silver re. ublicans, two via ,
Teller and Pettigrew.

DuM'Tn, Minn., July 9. Fourteen
people are now known to have been
killed in the tornado and cloudburst in
this section of Minnesota Wednoday
and yesterday. Th- storm was general
ani it is impossible to estimate the
amount of damage with any degree of
certainty. The tornado, which was
central near Glenwood, was the worst
! that ever Btruck the state. The telegraph
: lines are down for seventy-five miles
j each side of there and particu'ars are
i hard to get. The list at Glenwood, so
J far as known is as follows :
Lavan Toliff.
Thomas Morrow.
Mrs. Samuel Morrow,
Samuel Morrow.
Winnie Morrow.
Oswald M'Gowan.
Aside from these Alfred Morrow and
a one-year-old baby were probably fatal
ly in jund.
The trainmen say a number of other
houses were blown from their founda
tions by the storm and undoubtedly
more lives lo3t.
William Noriis and wife are reported
lo have been killed. Railroad traffic is
paralyzed because of the heavy fall of
rain. It came so suddenly and so fiei-ce-1
in some places that many trains ran
into washouts before they had any in
timation of danger.
A bad wreck on Great Northern road
is reported about eight miles west of frit.
Cloud, twenty freight cars being ditched.
Charles Washburn was instantly killed
and W. H. Pepper, the engineer of the
, train was seriously injured.
The Great Northern west bound pas
senger train, which left St. Cloud last
night, was caught between two washouts
and lay for twelve hours. The train
was crowded with passengers, who very
narrowly escaped death.
Hector, Minn., is under water about

Hawaiian situation, says :
"Unless Japan's claims are promptly
met and a promise oi good behavior
promptly made regarding the Sandwich
islands ve will soon hear that the
flag of Japan has replaced that of the
present shaky republic. The Japanese
government has a just claim against the
Hawaiian republic. That the Japanese
will press tbe claim there isJittle doubt.
Who will take sides with Hawaii?
America. What will be the result?
With Japan's strong fleet of topedo
boats, America could not land a single
man in the Hawaiian islands. They
would meet the fate of the Chinese on
board the Kow-Shong in tbe late war."
Iudi mnlty Must ba Paid.
Washington, July 9. The senate
committee on foreign relations, through
Senator Lodge, adopted a resolution in
structing the president to take such
measures as he may deem necess
ary to obtain indemnity frcm the Span
ish government for the wrongs and in
juries suffered by August Bolton and
Guetave Richellieu, two naturalized
American citizens, by reason of their
wrongful arrest by Spanish authorities
at Santiage de Cuba in 1895. The reso
lution further authorizes the president
to employ such means or exercise such
power as may be necessary. The reso
lution is based upan the disclosures
made in correspondence forwarded to
the senate by the president last April in
which it is made to appear, according to
the preamble of the resolution reported
today by Senator Lodge that "all the
diplomatic efforts of the government of
tbe United States exerted for an amica
ble adjustment and payment of a just
indemnity have proved entirely unavail
ing." The resolution reported is considered
by tbe members of the committee an
important step and is construed as an
other intimation from the committee
that force should, if necessary, be used
in protecting Americans in Cuba.
The amount of indemnity asked in
10,000 each.
