MRS. M'KINLEY'S CONDITION. The Improvement , If Any , Is. Thus Fa Very blight. WASHINGTON , June 10 Tin slight improvement in Mrs. McKin ley's health which manifested itsel the- latter part of the week continue ! r.nd hope begins to be felt that sh < may after all recover from the pros cnt attack. The improvement , how ever , is so slight as not to change ma terially the extreme gravity of th < case. The usual consultation of th < physicians was held and at its clos < the following bulletin was issued : " 11:15 a. m. Mrs. McKinley's phy sicians report that she passed a verj comfortable night and continues tc improve. " The fact that Mrs. McKInley has more than held her own and that nc unfavorable turn has occurred is con sidered in every way encouraging , bul r.s this result is due partly to the con stant use of powerful medicine the physicians fear the effect of reducing the stimulants and likewise have tc cope with the effect on her system of constant administration of the only means of prolonging her life and mak ing ultimate recovery at least a pos sibility. These stimulants and the complaint from which she suffered in California , which is now under con trol , have so weakened her powers of resistance that apprehension is ever present that a sinking spell may oc cur suddenly from which she cannot be rallied. CUBANS LISTEN TO REASON. Conservative Members Confident that Platt Amandment Will Prevail. HAVANA , June 10. The conserva tive members of the constitutional conventioi are absolutely confident lhat the Platt amendment will be ac cepted and that several radicals will join vita the fifteen delegates who have ' . 'eretcfore voted in favor of ac ceptance. The last few days seem to have brought about a decided change in the attitude of delegates who had been bitterly arraigning the Wash ington government for rejecting the convention interpretations of the amendment. The strong pressure from the outside brought to bear upon the convention to finish its business and to place the country on a settled basis has had an excellent effect on the radicals , inducing them to accept the inevitable , and some of them now argue that it would be perhaps better to accept the amendment , hop ing for some , form of independence , than to prolong the military occupa tion of the island. WHEAT IS RUINED. Tornado Sweeps .Five Hundred Oklaho ma Farms. WICHITA , Kan. , June 10.

MUST BE ACTUAL SETTLERS. Jadgo Harrington Render * Imnortan Decision Relative to Homesteaders. ALLIANCE , .Neb. , June 10. Judg : Harrington handed down a decisioi which is far reaching and of grea importance to the people of northwest ern Nebraska. It was in the case o Charles Tierman against Miller ant Leith. The plaintiff in his petition allege ! that defendants procured twenty-nin < colored people to file homesteads or government land in such a way as tc completely surround his ranch am prevent his cattle from going to ani from his watering place ; that the en tries were made in collusion and fraud ; that the day the entries were filet the defendants procured the relinquishment - quishment of same and also leases tc the land' ; that the defendants were about to fence in said land. The plain- tifi therefore prayed that the courl grant .an injunction to prevent de fendants from fencing said land until the matter could be investigated by the interior department. To this petition defendants de- raurred. On the trial of the case sev eral affidavits were read by plaintiff's counsel , R. C. Noleman , which bore cut the allegations contained in the petition and in fact one or more of the entryrnen made affidavits that the de fendants hired them to make the en tries for $5 each. Judge Harrington granted the in junction and in passing on the matter stated that there was no question that the circumstances surrounding the filing of the homesteads would tend strongly to verify the allegations contained in the plaintiff's petition , and if the entries were not bona fide the defendants were certainly tres passers and being trespassers they had no more right on the land than the plaintiff. The decision puts a quietus on large corporations gobbling up the public domain , thereby preventing the small ranchmen , who have been in the country for years , receiving the benefit of the same.

State's Salt Against the Onmlin National Again Submitted. LINCOLN , Neb. , June 8. Yesterday v/as argued before Commissioners Day , Hastings and Kirkpatrick of the su preme court the case of the state against the Omaha National bank and J. H .Millard , then and now president of the bank , and now United States senator from Nebraska. The suit is foi the sum of $201,884. The legisla ture of 1895 appropriated from the general fund to the sinking fund the sum of $180,101.75. A warrant for this amount was drawn on Treasurer Hartley and sold through Millard to the Chemical National bank of New York , in whose possession it remained until October , 1S9G. It was then sent to the Omaha National bank , where , on January 2 , 1897 , Bartley made and executed to Millard and the bank his check for $201,884 , payable to Millard , president , and in return received the warrant. The check was paid by charging that sum to the state treas urer's account and crediting the account of the Chemical National and an Atkinson bank with a like sum. The action is to recover from the de fendants the amount of money event ually lost to the state as .a result of the transaction. The case has twice been tried in the lower court and the state beaten by direct instructions. The supreme court held , in the criminal case , that the diversion by Bartley of the state's funds to pay this identical warrant was conversion , and the state now in sists that this ought to be final as de termining the character of the action , the bank's attorneys insisting that it is one of trover , and therefore cannot lie except it be for the identical money taken.
