4 Brief Compendium of the
Busy World's Events.
PAUPER IMMIGBA1TON.
ENCLAND WILU CO-OPERATE
WITH TH UNITED STATES.
Discovery of Systematic Fraud la the
Msaufscture of Passports by Jewlsb
Eialsraats to Kzmm& From Rossia ta
vad tfa Tax ob Permits.
The officials of tho London board of trade
are watching tho methods of inquiry of the
United States immigration commissioners.
It is believed that tho Inquiry will result
in the appointment of American Inspector!
at all the leading English ports with some
system of consular supervision. A high of
ficial of the board says the English govern
nient oQcers will be instructed to co-oper
ate with the Americans to secure a reform
for tho regulating of tho tide of emigration.
Although publicly protesting that there If
no necessity for a special provision against
the influence of destitute aliens, the gov
ernment is using tho utmost rigors of the
existing law to stop tho settlement of for
eign paupers in Englcnd. An official In
quiry lias resulted In the disclosure of sys
tematic frauds on tho part of the Jewish
emigrants from Russia. Passports, manu
factured in England have been sent to Russis
to enable the Jews to evade the payment pi
the 10 levied on each permit to emigrate,
ONE MORE WRECK IN OHIO.
A Nan
Gauge Trala .Damped With
Seventy Passengers.
Another horror has been added to the late
list of railroad accidents in Ohio. A pas
scngcr train on tho Bcllairo, Zanesvllle &
Cincinnati uarrow gauge railroad left the
track three miles south of Bellalro, twe
cars Ieiiig overturned and dragged some
distance. Seventy passengers were on the
train, and the two cars turned were crowded.
Fourteen people were Injured, four serious
ly and one fatally. The train was ruuuing
thirty-five miles an hour, aud as it reached
the curve the cars were noticed to sway
violently and unhct-diug the cries for the
prssongcrs to keep 1 heir scats, a rush was
made for .the doors. Many of the frightened
passengers had reached tho platform wiicn
the cars jumped the Kills, and when
they turned over in another moment, these
were burled into tho ditch.
HE'S AN A1X1ANCK HERO.
Judge KcKay, of Kansax, Becomes More
Unruly Than Before.
A letter from Anthony, Kan., states that
since ids return from his Interview with the
supreme court at Topeka the alliance judge,
McKay, has been acting more arbitrarily
than ever and is determined to rulo In the
Twenty-fourth diMrlct according to his
own ideas of law aud In defiance of the
supreme court. Ho has set aside all the
decisions of tlio special judge who was
elected by tho bar to presido over the court
while he was before the supremo court an
swering to the charge of contempt of court.
The people's party papers are attempting t
make a hero of Judge McKay.
The Pesky Hopperi).
Grasshoppers are ruining tho oats crop
prospects in twenty counties along the
Ohio and Indiana border line, and the de
vastation is most marked In the region
around Wabash, Miami and Maumeo rivers.
Crops arc ruined by a small green hopper
on farm after farm. Many growers,
alarmed at the ravages of the pest, cut the
oats green, but the hoppers followed It
into the shock, anil arc now in the corn.
The Spanish Reciprocity Treaty.
The Spanish reciprocity treaty and the
diplomatic correspondence pertaining
thereto has been made public, tho presi
dent issuing tho proclamation announcing
the full text of tho treaty. It Is mado pur
suant to the last tariff act with a view to
securing reciprocal trade by reason of the
exemption from duty of sugar, molasses,
coffee and hides upon their importation
Into the United States.
Indian Troubles Settled.
The interior department officials express
great satisfaction over the success achieved
by the Sioux commission in securing the
consent of the Ogalallas to tho removal of
the Chyennes from Rosebud agency. They
predict that thLs action will settle the Ind
dlan troubles in South Dakota.
IN THE EAST.
Tnx Yaluo of the foreign commerce of
the United States for tho last fiscal year
was the greatest in the history of the
country.
Chaxbhak Quay and Treasurer Dud
ley have resigned from the republican
national committee. J. S. Clarkson,
vice chairman, succeeds to the chair
manship, entrusted with power to name
a treasurer. Tho opinion of the mem
bers of the committee present favored
the holding of tho next republican na
tional convention as early as May.
A large meeting of business men was
held at Johnstown, Pa., to take action
in regard to bringing a suit against the
South Fork club for damages sustained
by tho great Hood. A committee re
cently appointed to visit the dam re
ported that it had obtained ample evi
dence that tho construction of the dam
was faulty. The proposition to proceed
with the suit was passed unanimously
and the necessary money will bo raised
immediately.
Badwaker Melbourne was exultant
at Canton, O., over the success of his
experiments. The eighth experiment
was a wet and unqualified success. He
now claims to his credit seven successes
as against ono failure, and that is set
down to a broken machine, as he calls
his mysterious rain-producer. Tho
weather the morning of the last experi
ment was clear and cold, but about 2:30
o'clock in the afternoon the skies
clouded and rain fell at intervals until
evening.
The fields adjoining the Indiana and'
Ohio boundary line are alive with grass
hoppers, which are doing an inesti
mable amountoof damage to the crops.
Grain is being harvested earlier than
asual in order to save it from the rav
ages of the insects, but in the majority
of cases so much damage has been done
as to render the crops of but little
value. The grasshoppers have only
appeared within the last few days, and
they have been the source of no little
consternation among the farmers, many
of whose crops will be short fully a
half. The hoppers seem to be traveling
eastward, and, while not much grain is
being devoured, they ruin it by cutting
off the stalk.
One of the changes made in the
weather bureau is the enlargement of
the local value of weather predictions
by the appointment of twenty local fore
casters. The list of places where these
appointments will be made has not yet
been entirely completed, but it will in
clude Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul, Cin
cinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and Indian
apolis. Heretofore the general forecasts
from Washington have been practically
the only ones. These are valuable to
the commercial interests of the whole
country," but not so much so to the pub
lic locally or to the agricultural inter
ests. It is the purpose of the bureau to
make itself of much greater value to
the latter than ever before. Local offi
cial hare had the right in the past to
place forecasts upon their maps, but
this has not been done generally. It is
the intention to appoint men of
the highest ability, with the special
duty or giving the most detailed possible
local forecasts. Congress provided for
but twenty such offices, and it Is a mat
ter or extreme difficulty to make a selec
tion of ablo men and of points which
will be satisfactory to the general pub
lie' Generally speaking the offices will
bo thickly scattered along the northern
boundary, where changes are most fre
quent The Canadian observatories,
while excellent and operated on much
the same plan as our own, are not nu
merous, and their local forecasts are not
mintttc.
IN THE WEST.
Toe Chicago & Grand Trunk railway,
of Canada, has lifted the boycott against
the Chicago & Alton road. This is be
lieved by somo to be the beginning of
the end. The success of the Alton in
securing tho Grand Army business for
itself and the Wabash road to Detroit
has apparently been an important factor
In bringing about this result. It is said
that in many parts of the west ticket
agents have banded themselves Into a
sort of secret society for the purpose of
fighting the enemies and favoring the
friends of tho Alton. The prediction Is
made that not a few of the eastern lines
will promptly accept the opportunity
afforded by the Grand Trunk to abro
gate their agreement.
A thunder storm came near wiping
out the mountain town of Genoa. Nov.
A cloud bursted near where the big
snow slide occurred a year ago. In a
few moments a big flood of water came
down three separate canyons, sweeping
everything before it. From Genoa can
yon the water rushed down in a single
column twenty-five feet high. The
water mado a clean sweep from the
snow slide canyon, leaving the rocks
bare, and dashed over the base of the
mountain. Rocks and, debris covered
much of tho finest meadow and grain
land and a great deal of damage is also.
entailed by tho loss of crops.
The bureau of 'American republics is
informed that an association called the
American Colored Men's Mexican Col
onization company is planning to estab
lish a colony of negro farmers, coming
chiefly from Mississippi and Tennessee,
in the state of Sonora, Mex., and it has
arranged for the purchase of a tract of
100,000 acres about twenty miles south
of Yuma, Ariz., ou the Southern Pacific
railroad, at a place where the remains
of the Elardo colony, founded by Mr.
Andrade, of San Francisco.- still re
mains. The $5 round trip from Cincinnati to
Niagara Falls, with a stop over at De
troit in time for the Grand Army of the
Republic parade, Is causing a general
demoralization of railroad rates. The
Chicago & Alton, with the Ohio & Mis
sissippi, will on July 31 issue a 17
round trip rate from Kansas City to
Cincinnati. The Vandalia and the Cin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton will meet
that rate and the Big Four will of neces
sity follow.
Justice Brewer knocked the Union
Pacific bridge monopoly higher than
Gilderoy's proverbial kite. His decision
in tho case between tho Rock Island
and Uuion Pacific was in favor of tho
Rock Island and in favor of the enforce
ment of the specific performance of tho
terms of the contract. He also decided
that the same ruling should hold good
in the case of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul road against the Union Pa
cific. Tho world's fair directors have leased
a right of way that will enable every
railroad in Chicago to enter the exposi
tion grounds. This kills the Illinois
Central monopoly of the exposition traf
fie and puts the directors on a footing
where thcy.can afford to dictate terms
for the traffic
It is stated at tho internal revenue
office at Chicago that the whisky trust
has decided to concentrate all the whisky
manufacturing at Peoria by a sale from
time to time of the outside houses. The
object of the concentration is economy
in operation and reduction in working
force.
Frank Lindenstein, of Kansas City
broke the world's high diving record
made a few days ago by Joseph Leuven
mark by diving from a platform eighty
five feet high into a lake at Washington
park, in that city. Leuvenmark dove
from a platform eighty feet high.
The S. A. Kean bank failure was
finally taken out of court at Chicago for
settlement. The basis is 35 cents on the
dollar. The claims against the bank
aggregate $524,857 and there are 1,031
creditors. Settlement is effected by the
aid of Kean's friends.
James Finlkv, post trader at tho
Pine Ridge agency, has been dismissed
by the government for immorality.
Clarence Three Stars, a Sioux In
dian, has been appointed trader at tho
Pine Ridge agency, S. D.
The Berkeley Land syndicate of Den
ver has assigned. Liabilities, 6400,000.
THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.
Gov. Buchanan, of Tennessee, has
decided to call the legislature to con
vene in extra session August 17 to con
sider the convict Ieaso system and other
matters of interest, including amend
ments of the election laws, the repre
sentation of the state at the world's
fair, and increasing the power of tho
governor to suppress riots in calling out
the militia. The prison question in
cludes the regulation of the peniten
tiary, its management by lessees, the
question of removal of the main prison
from the City of Nashville, building a
new penitentiary and the regulation of
convict labor. Gov. Buchanan said he
was in favor of taking definite steps to
wards finally doing away with the whole
lease system. He was in favor of going
as far as could be done constitutionally.
The labor unions throughout the state
will bring a strong pressure to bear upon
the legislature. They will meet and by
resolution ask that the lease system be
done away with and free labor be no
longer interfered with by convict labor.
A caix has been issued for a state
convention in'Mississippi, to be held Aug.
19, to select delegates to the national
convention of alliance men opposed to
the sub-treasury scheme and the third
party. The call invites all opposed to
Macunism and corruption, and denoun
ces as political' lepers those who are
seeking to divert the order from its true
course.
Senator Peffer was the orator at the
farmers' encampment at Sulphur
Springs, Tex. He said he wanted the
government to loan the people money at
1 per cent, to lift 9,000,000 mortgages.
He proposed to do this with fiat money
issued directly to the people who had
mortgaged their homes.
A report is current that 975,000 la
missing from 'the express 'office at
Kountzie, Tex., a big saw mill center.
Official! are making an Investigation,
but are very reticent.
Stephen T. Rtan, dry goods, who
recently failed at Atlanta, Ga., for $2,
000,000, was sent to jail for refusing to
to turn over assets worth 9120,000. Ryan
says he had no assets to torn over.

The Rapid City, Missouri River & St.
Paul Railroad company has concluded
preliminary arrangements for the work
of construction. Contracts for grading
the roadbed between Rapid City'and the
Cheyenne river, a distance of fortytwo
miles, will be let on the 30th, and work
will begin thereafter as soon as practi
cable. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul is also bestirring itself, and it is
more than probable that the extension,
westward from Chamberlain will be un-'
dcrtaken at an early day. Perhaps tho
new company is the Milwaukee in dis
guise. The Northern Pacific covets a
slice of Black Hills trade and tho Great
Northern also. The former has looked
the country over and expressed a desire
to come down, intimating that a bonus
would expedite the work of building.
Tho Elkhorn and Burlington are already
firmly anchored in the Hills, but tho
more the merrier. Every new lino in
creases business and stimulates activity
in developing the resources of the Hills.
The Duluth, Pierre & Black Hills rail
way, now under contract for completion
from Aberdeen to Pierre, is backed by
tho Northern Pacific . company. A new
company has been organized in Pierre,
presumably with tho same backing, for
extending the lino west from Pierre to
connect with the Rapid City road. It is
evident that the Northern Pacific and
the business world of St Paul and Du
luth want some of the Black Hills and
are extending their communication
thereto.
Children or Squaw Men Cltlseas.
Considerable comment has been
aroused over the recent decision of the
United States court in regard to the
status of children born of Indian womon
and whito or citizen husbands. The
case in question was that of the United
States vs. Ward on the charge of selling
liquor to a half-breed. The evidence
was that the half-breed in questioned
a negro father, who was a citizen, and
an Indian mother. The decision of the
court was that the children of these
parents follow the status of their fathor
and hence are citizens of the United
States and amenablo only to its laws.
If the decision holds good it will affect
the ownership of tho greatest part of
the land taken up in the vicinity of Fort
Picrro and Stanley, across the river
from Pierre, as it is nearly all held by
squawmen's children or their wives. The
department officials at Washington havo
always held to the contrary of this
opinion, and the allotting agents, who
have been and are now at work per
forming their duties, proceed under
these instructions, which give all people
of Indian blood a preference for lands
under the allotment act
Competition to Deadwood.
The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley railway has completed its nar
row gauge extension to the Bald Moun
tain and Ruby Basin mining districts.
The Deadwood Central was completed
through the districts some weeks ago.
As each road has spurs to dumps of all
developed mines, mine owners have
choice of routes and benefit of cheap
rates made by sharp competition in
shipping to tho different plants at Dead
wood for treatment

THE NEWS IN NEBRASKA..
Events Great and Small of Interest All
Around the State.
Considerable curiosity is manifested
in Nebraska and elsewhere to know how
Jay Gould will take his defeat in the
Omaha bridge case. Everybody seems
to have arrived at one common conclu
sion in the matter, and that is that he
will have his revenge in some way on
the Rock Island and Milwaukee & St
Paul roads for opposing his will in the
matter and forcing him to abide by the.
contract into which the Union Pacific
solemnly entered if it takes him the re
mainder of his natural Mfe to get it
The question that is just now upper
most in the minds of railroad men is
what effect his defeat will have on tho
affairs of the Western Traffic associa
tion. That association is generally un
derstood to be Gould's own creature. It
is also understood that he created it for
some purpose of his own, and when that
purpose is served or it appears conclu
sively that it has ceased to promote the
futherance of his purpose, he will de
molish it swiftly and without the slight
est reluctance. It would cause no sur
prise to a good many people if the vic
tory of tho Rock Island and the Milwau
kee & St Paul in this matter would be
the signal for the inauguration of an
other western freight rate war.
Watsoa Changes His Mlad.
Chairman Watson, of tho Nebraska
republican state central committee, has
abandoned the project of electing a gov
ernor this year. He has come to the
conclusion that such a proceeding would
not be legal, and so has decided not to
call a special meeting of the republican
state central committee.
One or the Maay.
J. R. Williams, a farmer living two
miles east of Ord, has threshed and sold
his barley. The ground was measured
and the enormous yield of eighty bush
els per acre was-- had. Tho price re
ceived for it was 35. cents per bushel,
making 927 per acre for the crop.

Treille, officials in tho colonial officii.
received Catholic mass books containin :
Infernal machines. The packages wort
addressed from Toulon and apparent!;
contained an oblong box. The wrapping
paper around the Supposed bdx was
taken Off and the package was found
to consist of a good-sized missal ot
Roman Catholic mass book. At first
sight it was a neat present to send tc
the .wife of tho president Upon more
careful examination it was found that
the leaves of tho missal, to outward ap-
pearances, had been stuck together with
varnish or mucilage. This caused a
still more careful examination of the
mysterious misSal and Upon being
opened with the greatest care it was
fonnd that the interior of the book had
been cut away in the manner sometimes
adopted by smugglers who desiro to send
articles free of duty through the mails.
and who place them in a hollowed out
book for that purpose. It was found
that the interior of the missal contained
a powerful fulminate powder. No clue,
according to the police, has been found
to the sender of this infernal machine,
though tho postoffice authorities of Tou
lon, acting in connection with the Par
isian police and with tho police of Tou
lon, are said to be on the track of the
perpetrators or perpetrator of this out
rage. The United States commissioners tc
Europe for the Chicago exposition, are
in a state of high delight with the flat
tering and enthusiastic reception they
havo met with in England. From the
moment of their landing at Southamp
ton they were the objects of unceasing
solicitude and courteous attentions of
all that is best and most distinguished
in the London world. Their visit has
been an occasion for a continuous dem
onstration of good will, kindliness and
sympathy toward them and toward the'
country and the cause which they rep
resent, which Is but all the more marked
by reason of its absolute spontaneity.
From the outset they have been wel
comed as friends and thrice-honored
guests.
The execution of young Boyland and
Dore, the two accomplices of Mrs. Boy
land In the Courbevois murder, took
place on the Placode LaRoquette. Dore
walked calmly to the guillotine, but a
desperate struggle took place on tho
scaffold. Boyland made no resistance.
Mrs. Boyland has beon granted a re
prieve. No sooner had the heads of tho
murdorers been rolled into the basket
than the crowds surged forward and
with mighty rush broke through the
cordon of soldiers and policemen and
began a disgusting scramble for an op
portunity to view the work of the guil
lotine. The Levant (Constantinople) Herald
telle a most distressing story of tho con
dition of the population In various dis
tricts of Russia owing to tho failure of
tho crops. The statements, which ap
pear to be reliable, give a much worse
color to the position of affairs than has
yet beon realized; and if matters are
only half as bad as depicted the conse
quences will not be without important
effect on the grain, shipping and finan
cial markets of Europe generally.
An Important reciprocity treaty under
the terms of the McKinley law has been

This ends the trouble in tho mining
districts. The militia were drawn up at

them from strict discipline. Tho orders
were received with tumultuous cheering,
for the troops did not relish a week or

to Briccvilio and Coal Crook at once.
The miners' co ninitteo remained in
Knoxvillc to accompany tho guards and

tho train arrives at Cca' Creek. This
action will not meet the fu I approval of
all the miners, but the terms of the
agreement will be kept

oickin or the Tirorm.E.
Last week about 403 armed strikers
attacked the guards who had charge of
fifty felons at Kricevilie and liberated
them. Gov. Buchanan was immediately
not i tied and responded by ordering two
companies from Chattanooga and one
from Knoxvi'Ie to tho scene. Of the
fifty convicts taken from the guards at
Briceville, two escaied and the others
wore brought to Knox vi lie. When tho
militia arrived they took the convicts
back with tnera and warned the mob
that they would protect them at all
hazards. Gov. Buchanan at once pro
ceeded to the seat of trouble and ex
plained his position to the rebellious
miners. He told them that it was
bis sworn duty to uphold the law,
and if the convict lease system was
wrong he was not to blame, and that the
only recourse of the men was through
the Legislature The miners announced
that their families were starving and
that they were compelled to drive out
the convicts if it cosl the life of every
man in the valley. They made all sorts
of fun of the beardless youths, but de
clared they would not harm the "spider
legged, cigarette smoking dudes," as

at tho delay in recalling tho troops thejr
decided to try to overcoroo the soldiers
by force of numbers, and succeeded only
too well.
While there have been differences ex
isting between the mine 01 orators using
convict labor and tho miners for years,
never did tho people of Coal Crock and
Vicinity feel that the State militia would
bo needed to se'.tlo the differences be
tween Fast Tcnncsseo miners and con
vict operators. But whon it became evi
dent that another mine heretofore using
frco labor was to bo handled by the out
laws of the Statu there at once arose
muttcrincs of discontent Had the Ten
nessee t'oa1 Mining Company not mado
an efTbrt to put in convict ialor instead
of retaining tho ircc minors, it is
thought there would havo been no call
for troo; s at tho company's mines. Tho
psop!e could have endured th convicts
ilioy had had to fight against for years,
but whon it became apparent that mora
free miners wen) to be displaced, and
work had to be soujrl.t elsewhere, a halt
was railed. Indignation reached a fever
heat and but for the cool heads and
good judgment of tho leaders there
would doubt'ess have been b oodshed.
EARLY DAYS.
Kalldlns; a Leg; Cabin oa the Pesolate
Fronller.
Log-cabin building was great fun to
the boys, although they did uot tint! it
easy work. There was a certain nov
elty about the raising of the structure
that was to be a home, and an interest
in learning the use of rude tools, that
lasted until the cabin was finished.
The maul and the wedges, the frow
and the little maul intended for it, and
all the other means and appliances of
the building were all new and strange
to these bright lads.
First, the hize of the cabin, twelve
feet wide and twenty feet long, was
marked out on the site on which it was
to rise, and fonr logs were laid to de
fino the foundation. These were tho
sills of the new house. At each end
of every log two notches were cut. on
on the under side and one on the up
per, to fit into Minilar notches cut in
the leg below, and iu that which was
to be placed on top. So tach corner
was formed by these interlacing and
overlapping ends. The logs were
piled np, one above another, just as
children build "cob-houses'' from odds
and ends of playthings. Cabin-builders
do not say that a cabin is a certain
number of feet high; they usually say
that it U ten logs high, or twelve logs
! high, as the case may be. When the
structure is as high as tno eaves are in
tended to be, the top logs are bound
together, from side to side, with small
er logs fitted upon the upper logs of
each side and laid across as if they
were to be tho supports of a floor for
another story. Then the gable-ends
are built np of logs, shorter and short
er as the peak of the gable is ap
proached, and kept in place by other
smaller logs laid across, endwise of
the cabin, and locked into the end of
each log in the gable until all are in
place. On these transverse logs, or
rafters, the roof is laid. Holes are cut
or sawed through the logs for the door
and windows, and the house begins to
look habitable.
The settlers on the Republican Fork
cnt the holes for dcors and windows
before they put on the roof, and when
the layer of split shakes that made the
roof was in place, and the boys bound
ed inside to see how things looked,
they were greatly amused to notice
how light it was. The space between
the logs was almost wide enough to
crawl through, Oscar said. But they
had studied log cabin building enough
to know that these wide crack were to
be "chinked" with thin strips of wood,
the refuse of shakes, driven in tightly,
and then daubed over with clay, a fine
bed of which was fortunately near at
baud. The provident Younkins had
laid away in his own cabin the sashes
and glass for two small windows; and
these he had agreed to sell to the new
comers. Tartly hewn logs for floor
joists were placed upon the ground in
side the cabin, previously leveled off
for the pnrpoj e. On these were laid
thick slabs of oak and hickory, riven
out of logs drawn from the grove near
by. These slabs of hardwood were
"puncheons," and fortunate as was the
man who could have a floor of tawed
lumber to his cabin, he who was
obliged to use puncheons was better
off than those with whom timber was
so scarce that the natural surface of
ground was their only floor. SL

Qneea Tleto-ia's nare-To-d hoes.
It is a pity that there are not more
mothers guided by tho Queen's excel
lent example in the matter of square
toed boots and shoes. Not only has
her Majesty persistently worn this
shaded chaussnre all through her own
life, bnt she insists thtt the royal
children shall all be similarly shod.
It is nothing short of absolute cruelty
to imprison growing children's feet in
the unnatural pointed-toed instruments
of torture that we have so long per
mitted to remain the fashion, and there
can be no doubt that the children of
unthinking and fashionable mothers do
suffer very greatly from this barbarous
practice. Bnt perhaps, cow that the
fact is made known that not one of -;the
royal family is ever seen in anything
bnt sensibly shaped boots, it may in
duce these foolish women to make their
little ones comfortable, and save them
from much suffering in after years.
Ladies Pictorial.
There is much talk about a "spirit
picture" in the possession of Mr. Wind
sor Bates, of East Thompson, Cona.
Three years ago a traveling photogra
pher took a picture of the front of Mr.
Bates' farmhouse. There was no one
in the dwelling at the time, and yet the
picture represents, at one of the win
dows, the figure of Mr. Bates' mother,
just as she used to sit sewing. She
died three years before the picture was
takao, at the age of ninety-fiv.
