TO FIGHT BUTTERINE.
THE WESTERN INTERESTS GET
IN LINE.
Ex-Gov. Hoard of Wicconnln at the ITead
of the Movement Dairymen Propose
to Go State Politic * With a Big
Vote Farmers Unlisted la
the Conflict.
To Drive Oat ISutterlne.
Chicago , June 21. The creamery
proprietors , the butter dealers and the
dairy farmers of the big butter pro
ducing states Wisconsin , Illinois , In
diana , Iowa , Minnesota , Nebraska ,
Kansas , Michigan and the Dakotas
are being formed into a compact fight
ing organization of not less than 500 , -
• 000 , and possibly more than 1,000,000
voters and vote controllers are being
pledged in writing to work unceasing
ly for legislation that will prevent the
coloring of butterine.
It is proposed , before the legisla
tures of these dairy states meet again
to raise a great fund to drive the but
terine manufacturers from their
strongholds , and if the industry finds
loopholes in state legislation the or
ganization will move on Washington.
W. D. Hoard of Fort Atkinson , Wis. ,
formerly governor of Wisconsin , and
president of the National Dairy union ,
is giving the movement all the benfit
of his organizing ability and political
acumen. Charles Y. Knight of Chicago
cage , secretary of the National Dairy
union and manager of theanti-butter-
ine fight in the Illinois legislature , is
secretary and treasurer of the new
movement.
The National Dairy union has nearly
4,000 creameries in the north Missis
sippi valley , and. around these the
union is building up its fighting or
ganization. Each creamery has on an
average of 100 patrons , or 400,000
in all.
The price paid by the creameries to
these farmers for milk is regulated by
the price of butter. As extinction of
competition with butterine raises the
price of milk , it is expected that the
400,000 farmers will rally against the
butter substitute. The farmers who
.work up their milk into butter in their
own dairies outnumber those who sell
to creameries. They are expected to
take an interest in this move
ment. The same view is held of
the farmers who ship milk to
the cities , the price of their pro
duct being influenced always by the
price it will bring at the creameries
Then there are creamery operators
and their employes , and the men who
handle butter in the big cities , the
commission men all these are inter
ested intone way and another in work
ing for butter and against butterine.
This indicates why the active spirits
of the National Dairy union are figur
ing on a political army of 1,000,001
men or more.
The creameries are doing the en
listing. Every such institution
throughout the butter-producing
states of the West is being supplied
with enrollment blanks , to be signed
by their farmer patrons. These pledge
themselves to work for anti-butterine
legislation and to fight "the men in
high places who are unfriendly to the
dairymen. " The signers also author
ize the creamery manager to deduct
25 cents a month from their bills as a
contribution to the campaign fund.
This fund will in a short time , it is
thought , amount to § 1,000,000.
STATE OF CUBAN TRADE
VFar Canscs a Loss of 883,000,000 Dar
ing the Past Year.
Washington , June 21. A significant
report on our trade with Cuba from
1387 to 1807 , prepared by Cb ef Hitch
cock of the foreign markets section of
the Agricultural department , has been
promulgated by Secretary of Agricul
ture wilson. The statistics show very
clearly the effect of present hostilities
in Cuba upon the commercial inter
course of the United States with that
island.
During the last fiscal year , 1SD6 , the
total value of our Cuban trade
aomunted to only § 47,548,110 as com
pared with S102S64,204 in 1S9J , the
year preceding the breaking out of the
war. This was a falling off of more
than 50 per cent in three years. Re
turns already available for the cur
rent fiscal year indicate still further
decline , the records for the nine
months ending March 31 , 1SL 7 , placing
the total value of the trade for that
period as low as S14,92G,817. At this
rate the figures for the fiscal year will
hardly reach S20,000,0 ( 0 , or less than "
one-fifth the value recorded for 1893.
Killed by a Pot of Coffee.
Columbia , Mo. , June 21. The -2-

table a pot of coffee was turned over
and its contents so frightfully scalded
the child that she died in a few miu. -

Loomli Defends Himself.
Washington , June 21. Charles A.

in furtherance of an office brokerage
business. The interview lasted some
time , and Mr. * Loomis male : a strong

explanation of the matters touched
upon in the charges.

THE CUBAN POLICY.
Denials By the State Department that It
Is Fixed.
Washington , June. 21. It can be
stated upon the best authority that
all the publications purporting to outline -
line the Cuban policy of Presi
dent McKinley that have been made
up to the present time have been in
disregard of the fact that up to
this moment the case of the United
States government has not yet been
made up. and that even in tiie discus
sions of the subject of the relations to
Cuba that have taken place in the
cabinet circles the point has not baen
reached where it could be said that
the executive had finally determined
upon any certain plan of action.
At the state department an author
itative denial is given of the statement
cabled to London that General Wood-
• ford , the newly appointed United
' States minister to Spain , has been in
structed to intimate to the Spanish
authorities that if Spain should refuse
to grant freedom to Cuba she must bo
prepared to yield to force.
General Woodford's instructions
will be much more complex than are
usually given to an American minis
ter. Not only will he be charged with
all of the details of the Ruiz case ,
which in itself promises to "present
formidable legal problems , but he will
also take with him all evidence neces
sary to establish the losses suffered by
United States citizens in Cuba from
the continuance of the war , with much
other data in support of the sugges
tion of this government that it can
scarcely continue to countenance a
prolongation of present conditions.
Upon the answer returned by the
Spanish government to these repre
sentations by General Woodford will
depend the course to be followed by
the United States.
Before leaving for Madrid General
Woodford will hold several confer
ences with Special Commissioner Cal
houn.

THE BARTLEY TEIAL
' '
C 'OURT OVERRULES THE MO
TION TO DISMISS. *
Jud e Baker Has no Doubt About the
Sulllclency of the Information A
Knockout Mow to the Defense
How It was accepted by
Mr. Hartley.
The Motion Overruled.
In the Hartley trial at Omaha , coun
sel consumed much time in making
arguments on the motion for a dis
missal of the case. The motion was
overruled by the court and the defense
was ordered to proceed. As soon as
arguments were completed Judge
Baker passed upon the motion. He
said there was no question in his mind
about the sufficiency of the informa
tion ; the question was , does the proof
support the allegations and is a credit
in a bank money ? If a bank credit is
money , that settled the whole ques
tion. The judge said that of the mil
lions of dollars on deposit in banks
only a very small proportion was in
actual cash. The business of the
country was done by means of checks
and drafts , and in many cases not a
cent of actual money passed , but no
one could say that no money was in
volved. The state treasurer could not
say that because he embezzled the
checks and drafts sent in by the. vari
ous counties that he did not embezzle
money. The court said that the de
posit in the Omaha National was not
a loan , as spoken of by Judge Post in
the Hill case. The bank did not bor
row the money , it simply said it would
safely keep the money and pay it over
on demand. The state depository law
provided that the state treasurer must
deposit the money in a bank. When
he did so the money lost its identity ,
but the treasurer still had control over
it , and when he turned his office over
to another he was supposed to have the
same money.
"When Hartley drew the check in
payment of the warrant I am satisfied
he did not convert the check , " said
Judge Baker. "If the check had been
presented and had not been paid then
it would not have been embezzlement.
When he drew the check he author
ized Millard to take from the public
money that amount of money. When
the money was paid to Millard it was
the state ' s money to be disposed of as
he disposed of it by placing it to the
credit of another bank. If Bartley
had had the money in a vault and had
said to Millard , 'Here , take this money
out of tnis vault and do thus and so
with it , ' it would have been the state ' s
money that he was disposing of , but
Bartley took another method and the
transaction was by means of a check.
The check was an order authorizing
the payee to take the money for him
and such transaction makes the whole
transaction Bartley ' s act. The case
might have been pleaded differently ,
but I think the information is suffi
cient and the motion is overruled. "
This termination of % he matter was
a knockout blow to the defense. The
attorneys had placed great reliance
on the conviction that the court would
uphold them in their contention
against the sufficiency of the informa
tion and the decision of the court
caused a falling of countenances on
the side of the table occupied by the
defendant and his attorneys.
Bartley , during the trial , says the
Omaha Bee , has preserved a calm and
unruffled exterior except when a smile
would pass ever his. face at some bright
point made by his attorneys , but after
the ruling of the court on this motion
his face showed signs of mental strain ,
and the ruddy , healthy hue which has
suffused his cheeks heretofore , was re
placed by a pallor which betrayed
his anxiety.
While the betrayal of feeling on the
part of Bartley 's counsel was less ap
parent in their faces than in his case ,
the manner in which the introduction
of proof commenced by the defence
showed that the blow had been a se
vere one.
Weekly Crop Bulletiu.
ilB8lHil\
b wm i
The past week has been about 2 per
cent cooler than usual in the western
counties and about 2 per cent warmer
than usual in the eastern counties ; the
average for the state as a whole has
been about normal.
The rainfall has been below normal
in the northern and eastern counties
and above normal in the greater part
of the central counties and the south
ern counties west of Pawnee.
The past week has been the best
growing week of this season. Small
grain in parts of the eastern portion of
the state has suffered slightly from
lack of rain , but generally grain is in
excellent condition. Rye is beginning
to ripen and the harvest will soon be
gin. Winter wheat is in full head and
promises a full crop in the south-cen
tral counties. Corn has made good
growth but is still very backward.
Some little replanting is still being
done. Even with the replanting that
has been done the stand of corn is still
generally poor. The alfalfa harvest
has been delayed and some damage
done to the crops by the heavy rains.
Cherries and strawberries are ripe
and are generally an excellent crop.
Apples are blighted considerably and
the indications now seem to be that
the crop will be below the average.
The New University Building- .
The state board of regents of the
University of Nebraska was in session
last week inspecting plans for the new

legislature appropriated 830,000. The
decision was reached by accepting the
plans of P. W. Grant & Co. of Beatrice.
The other firms to present plans were :

Wasiiin a ton , Juno 1. In an inter

the proposed treaty between the
United States and Hawaii : "Fifteen
hundred people arc giving away ray

do not want to be annexed to the
United States. Nor do the people of
the United States want annexation. It
is the .work of l.f.OO people , mostly

native born Americans are of Ameri

waut the island annexed. The popu

this number 40,000 are native Ha-
waiians. The rest ure Americans ,
Germans , Portuguese , Japanese , Chi
nese , English and a small proportion
from other countries. The 1,500
Americans who are responsible for
what was done to-day are running the
affairs of the islands. There is no
provision made in this treaty for me.
In the Harrison treaty I was allowed
S20.000 a year , but that treaty never

No one looked after my interests in

TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.
Illinois Desperadoes Betrayed by a Com
rade One mortally Wouddod.
St. Louis , Mo. , June 18. An at
tempt was made late last night by
three men to hold up a Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern passenger train
near Selma , 111. , sixty-five miles east
of here , but the attempt failed , one of
the would-be robbers having informed
the sheriff , who , with a posse of six
men , went to the scene and found the
track piled high with timbers which
the desperadoes had placed at a tres
tle.
tle.At
At the appearance of the posse the
gang scattered and most of them es
caped , though fired on by the sheriff
and his officers. One of the robbers
Abe Tweed , a paroled convict was
shot and captured , and is now dying
in jail at Salem , where he was taken.
Thomas Schumaker , another ex-con
vict , was arrested later.
It is said that the train which left
St Louis last night carried more than
3100,000 in the express car. The train
men are confident that , if the engine
had run into a pile of ties , it , with
several cars , would have been derailed
and thrown down an embankment ,
entailing a creat loss of life.
THE QUEEN AT WINDSOR.
Thousands Cheer for Their monarch
Victoria In Firat-CIa - Health.
Windsor , England , June 18. Queen
Victoria arrived here from Balmoral
at 9 o ' clock. Thousands of people
lined the route from the railroad sta
tion to the castle. Her Majesty looked
the picture of health and repeatedly
bowed to the cheering of her subjects.
It is denied that she is nearly blind
from cataract.
As to the queen's general health ,
evidence of its being perfectly satis
factory for a woman of her age is fur
nished in the fact that it was at first
arranged that on returning to the
palace on Jubilee day , Juno 22 , the
order of the procession woul be re
versed in order to enable Her Majesty
to return at the earliest possible mo
ment , but she has now decided to keep
in the same place along the whole
route , thus involving another half
hour of fatigue in the streets.

NO CURRENCY COMMISSION J
The President Advised That the Senate. * J
Will Not Take Prompt Action.
Chicago , June 19. A special to the M
Timcs-IIerald from Washington says :
"It appears to be well settled that no |
effort will be made by the President tAte
to secure authority for the appoint- Jfl
ment of n currency commission at this |
session of congress. Until within a H
week or so the President had believed iH
such a measure might be passed in the 1
closing days of congress , while the I
two houses were in conference on the 1
tariff bill. But the President is now J
advised by the Republican leaders in M
the Senate that it would be useless to - fl
present this question. The silver sen- ' -B
ators. it is said , have decided to oppose fl
any such measure , and they could
easily bring about considerable delay. fl
Unless some change comes in the situation - H
ation the President will be compelled , H
reluctantly , to permit this important W
matter to go over to next winter. "
RATIFICATION UNCERTAINf j
So Chance for Immediate Annexation H
of Hawaii. ' B
Wasiuxgtox , ' June 19. Opposition- r V
to the Hawaiian annexation project fl
has broken out much more violently S
than was anticipated by the administration - * J
tration , and the treaty will be roughly \
handled when it comes up in the Senate - m
ate for ratification. Whether this opposition - M
sition will be able to muster sufficient 1
strength in that body to defeat ratification - M
fication is a speculative problem. It |
looks now as though the annexation JH
party might not be able to command .
the necessary two-thirds vote. .
In any event , it is now taken for fl
granted that favorable action at this M
special session , either in the form of fl
treaty ratification or legislation sustaining 9
taining the administration plans , will
be impossible. A

Klisha Bradburn went to a field to arfl

his fist , knocking him down. The- 9
preacher died in a few moments and. 9
Bradburn fled. 9
