MRS MKINLEYS CONDITION
The Improvement If Any is Thus Far
Very Slight
WASHINGTON June 10 The
slight improvement in Mrs McKin
leys health which manifested itself
the latter part of the week continues
and hope begins to be felt that she
may after all recover from the pres
ent attack The improvement how
ever is so slight as not to change ma
terially the extreme gravity of the
case The usual consultation of the
physicians was held and at its close
the following bulletin was issued
1115 a m Mrs McKinleys phy
sicians report that she passed a very
comfortable night and continues to
improve
The fact that Mrs McKinley has
more than held her own and that no
unfavorable turn has occurred is con
sidered in every way encouraging but
as 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 to
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
Piatt Amandment Will Prevail
HAVANA June 10 The conserva
tive members of the constitutional
convention are absolutely confident
lhat the Piatt amendment will be ac
cepted and that several radicals will
join with the fifteen delegates who
have Ieretcfore 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

MUST BE ACTUAL SETTLERS
Judge Harrington Renders Important
Decision Relative to Homesteaders
ALLIANCE Neb June 10 Judge
Harrington handed down a decision
which is far reaching and of great
importance to the people of northwest
ern Nebraska It was in the case of
Charles Tierman against Miller and
Leith
The plaintiff in his petition alleges
that defendants procured twenty nine
colored people to file homesteads on
government land in such a way as to
completely surround his ranch and
prevent his cattle from going to and
from his watering place that the en
tries were made in collusion and fraud
that the day the entries were filed
the defendants procured the relin
quishment of same and also leases to
the land that the defendants were
about to fence in said land The plain
tiff therefore prayed that the court
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
murred On the trial of the case sev
eral affidavits were read by plaintiffs
counsel R C Noleman which bore
cut the allegations contained in the
petition and in fact one or more of the
entrymen 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 plaintiffs 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

BANK CASE IS ARGUED
States Salt Against the Omaha National
Again Submitted
LINCOLN Neb June 8 Yesterday
vas 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
for the sum of 201884 The legisla
ture of 1895 appropriated from the
general fund to the sinking fund the
sum of 18010175 A warrant for this
amount was drawn on Treasurer
Bartley and sold through Millard to
the Chemical National bank of New
York in whose possession it remained
until October 1896 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 201884 payable to Millard
president and in return received the
warrant The check was paid by
charging that sum to the state treas
urers 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 states
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 banks attorneys insisting that it
is one of trover and therefore cannot
lie except it be for the identical money
taken
