The Gates college .goes from Keligh to Norfolk. Prof. Horsbergeb, lato of the Nor folk schools has been elected superin tendent of schools at Peking, 111., a place of 12,000 people. The Ohio republicans have nominated Gen. Bushnell of Springfield for gov ernor; their choice for U. S. senator is John B. Foraker and their candidate for president William McKinley. Those people who would fain believe that protection of American interests will cut no figure in the next presiden tial campaign, will find themselves very much mistaken. The American people have had a foretaste of free-trade and know they don't want any more. Dundy, Hitchcock, Red Willow, Fur nas, Harlan, Phelps, Frontier, Lincoln and Dawson counties have been deluged with rain the past week. StreaniB that were dry, now run as raging torrents. At Curtis, the reservoir burst its banks, and did about $20,000 damage. An old democrat by the name of Clark in Baltimore asks, "Why did Mr. Cleve land throw away all the good taxes to snatch after taxes so unpopular and un reanlting?" To which the Inter Ocean makes reply: "It was localise Mr. Cleve land studied political economy from English teachers rather than practical Americans, and he learned to harp on string, A tariff is a tax.' " President Harrison paid off $290, 000,000 of the public debt and turned over to Mr. Cleveland's administration $124,000,000 surplus. There was not a moment from the inauguration of Mr. Harrison to tho second inauguration of Mr. Cleveland in which we did not col lect for every day of every year sufficient revenues to pay every demand and ob ligation of the government. Gov. Win. McKinley. Rev. John Morrow has instituted a new form of worship in Omaha, basing his faith on passages of scripture, espe cially John xiiir-L Ho teaches tho sanc tification in the human heart could be and ought to be carried on to such per fection that fear and shame and passion should be dead, and it is said that tho brothers and sisters of tho congregation "have been appearing in each other's presence clad only in a smile and an humble spirit." Secbktary Morton says that there are 369,71:1,300 of standard silver dollars lying idle in the treasury. If he had also said that there were $330,914,504 in silver certificates in circulation to rep resent these silver dollars he would have been nearer the truth and explained why the standard silver dollars were in the treasury and not in the hands of the people. Figures will not lie if used fairly, but they can be used for decep tion just as well as words. Inter Ocean. Apropos of recent important changes ' in the management and personnel of the Chicago daily press, Mr. Willis J. Abbot contributes to the June Review of Re views, under the caption "Chicago News papers and Their Makers," an exceed ingly graphic account of the past and present fortunes of journalism in the Western metropolis. Mr. Abbot asserts that the great Chicago dailies are all 'well printed, cleanly edited and digni fied, and that in these respects they excel most of their contemporaries in the Eastern cities, just as their news columns excel in tho range of telegraph ic reports. GOVERNMENT WINS ITS SUIT. nprcaae Coort Hands Down Opinion en the Tariff Case. . Washington, June 4. Chief "Justice Faller handed down the opinion of the rapreme court in the case of the United "States vs. Burr & Hardwick, involving tie date when the present tariff law went into effect. The decision was that this did not occur until Aug. 20, 18W, when the bill became a law, not withstanding the law itself fixed the date as Aug. 1.

Rev. Bishop Rupert Seidenbusch of Minne ( nota died at St. Mary's Benedictine priory. His death was caused by ap oplexy, superinduced by the extreme beat. He was visiting here. Often Rupture Expected. San Jose, Costa Rica, June 1. It is the general opinion that it will be diffi cult to avoid war with Nicaragua. Public opinion seems to favor such a war. Military preparations continue. - Lard Sfcolto Marries the Actress. 8am Jose, Cal June 2. Lord Sholto .Dosglas and Loretto Addis, the Bakers- laid actress, were married here by a jastice of peace and left for San Fran- V COltlOTO INCIDENT. MOTIVE OF THE BRITISH IN LAND ING TROOPS EXPLAINED. Oflacers of Stephenaon'a Fleet Alleged U Hnre Declared That the United State Feared to Attempt to Maintain the Moa roe Doctrine. Copyrighted, 1893, by the Associated Press. MANAOUA.Nicaragua, May 18. If the British had occupied Corinto a little longer than they did, they would have been able to capture a British steamer, the Debay, which arrived there two days ago, loaded with a full supply of modern, improved field artillery, rifles, equipments and ammunition for about 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Nica raguan army, and Admiral Stephenson would thus have been able to collect the 15,500 claimeiPby Great Britain as an indemnity from Nicaragua without any difficulty. Bnt the British warships sailad away on May 5 and this most valuable cargo arrived at Corinto on May 16 under the British flag to the great delight of the Nicaraguan author ities who feared that this supply of war materials would fall into the hands of the British. Wonld Have Seized the Debay. It is considered more than likely that the admiral would have seized and de tained the Debay until the indemnity was paid, and there is great rejoicing here at its escape, for it would have made an admirable substitute for the port and custom duties of Corinto, which the British admiral was prevented from collecting by the fact that the Nicara guan government declared the port closed shortly after it was occupied by the British. Nobody here doubts that had the British admiral captured this supply of war material and satisfied Great Britain's claim against Nicaragua by its sale, that the act would have thoroughly humiliated the present gov ernment of Nicaragua as to have caused its overthrow at once by a revolution. It is not' doubted that Admiral Stephenson could have taken possession of the Debay's cargo, in spite of the fact that the steamer was under the British flag, as the war material was purchased in Germany in 1893 by the present government. Then again, peo ple here insist that Great Britain was desirous of obtaining a coaling station on the island of Corinto, aud another coaling station on Corn island, near the Atlantic entrance to tho proposed inte oceanic canal through Nicaragua and thus Great Britain would have been able to control both entrauces of th3 proposed canal. It is also proposed that it was the intention of Great Britain to cause the overthrow of the present gov ernment of Nicaragua aud to place in power native Nicaraguaus of her own choosing and there are some prominent natives of this country who are very fond of Great Britain. Monroe Doctrine a Myth. It is claimed by the irritated people here that Admiral Stephenson aud sev eral of his officers when at Corinto on April 23, just before they actually took armed possession of that port and island, publicly declared to mauy persons, among whom was Mr. W. T. Tisdale, a United States citizen and the agent for the Pacific Mail Steamship company, that the Monroe doctrine so often re ferred to in the United States press by that people is a myth, that the United States would not and could not, if they desired, enforce aud it is added that the British officers asserted that the occupation of Corinto was intended to test the question. It should be said in conclusion, however, that it has been denied that there was any truth iu the story that the British officers made such statements. WARSHIPS ORDERED TO JEDDAH. Killing of the British Vice Conaul Will Be Investigated. Constantinople, June 2. Advices received here-from Moosh state that the residence occupied by the French, Brit ish and Russian envoys has been forci bly entered by the Turkish gendarmes who attempted to arrest a servant of the envoys. They used abusive lan guage and were expelled with difficulty. This news, coupled with the news from Jeddali that the British consul and vice consul, the Russian acting consul and the French consular secretary were at tacked and shot at outside the town, has caused considerable excitement in diplomatic circles. The British vice consul was killed and the British con sul was slightly wounded. The other consular officers were seriously wounded. The shooting is attributed to Bedouins. Three British warships have been ordered to Jeddali, with in structions to protect tho lives of for eigners and to investigate the killing of the British vice consul and the wound ing of the consular officers. Fighting In Formosa. London, June 2. A dispatch to The Times from Hong Kong today confirms the news that hostilities between the Japanese and Chinese republicans on the island of Formosa have commenced. According to The Times' dispatch the Japanese forces landed at Kee Lung, in the extreme north of the island of For mosa, yesterday and fighting between them and the Chinese commenced. Archbishop Kenrick Deposed. St. Louis, June 5. Archbishop Ken rick of St. Louis has been deposed by the pope, and the Most Rev. John F. Kain has been appointed in his stead. The deposition of retirement of Arch bishop Kenrick is the result of a petition to the propaganda, setting forth his mental incapacity and the dangerous condition of the business affairs of the diocese. Bgau Appointed Receiver. Portland, June 5. In the United States circuit court Judge Gilberts signed an order appointing John M. Egan receiver of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern railroad, and also allowing an order allowing the is sue of receiver's certificates to the amount of 750,000. TREASURY OFFICIALS HOPEFUL. Deficit For Fiscal Tear Will Be ,000,000 Lees Than Predicted. Washington, June 4. Treasury offi cials are now confident that the close of the fiscal year, June 30, will show a de ficit of not more than $44,000,000 and possibly not more than $43,000,000, which is at least $5,000,000 less than was predicted only a few weeks ago, and $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 less than the present figures. It is shown that the pension payments during June will be at least $2,500,000 less than for May and tho payment on account in interest will also be reduced $1,500,000. With an increase from internal revenue of $3,000,000 on account of receipts from special liquor, tobacco and oleomargar ine licenses, which must be paid before July 1, and very material reductions in pension and interest payments, it is confidently expected that this month will show a small surplus, with the deficit further reduced to at least $44, 000,000. In the month of July, how ever.is likely to see the deficit increased by at least $10,000,000, as that month's interest payments will aggregate about $7,000,000. Disbursements in very branch of the government are un anally much heavier than in July than in other months, 'so that though re ceipts are greatly increased, the deficit on Aug. 1 next will not likely fall short of $55,000,000 for the 12 months. GRESHAM LAID TO REST. last Sad Rites Are Held at Cemetery. Chicago, June l. The remains of Walter Q. Gresham were hud in the vault in Oakwood cemetery Thursday afternoon, there to remain until the members of his family have decided upon a place of final interment, either in Oakwood or in some other cemetery of Chicago. Every, sphere of life which the dead had filled and adorned was represented by the side ofhis bier. By the open vault stood Grover Cleveland, the man who holds the highest office in the gift of the American people, and there stood other men they of the Grand Army, whose hearts were full of love, and the spirit of brotherhood for Walter Q. Gresham, because he, as well as they, had in the dark days of the nation's life held firm his faith and kept pace with a full, free step to the music of the Union. Secretary Morton and Secretary Car lisle did not return with the president, but will remain in the city until Satur day afternoon. Both are at the homes of sons living here. The train bearing the presidential party arrived at Wood lawn station at 2.-05 p. m. and started on the return trip at 3:14 o'clock. HOT WEATHER RECORD. Thirty-five Deaths Front Excessive Heat Ia New York. New York, Juue 4. A cool easterly breeze sprung up shortly after 3 o'clock Monday evening and put an end to the hot weather record breaking, for a sea son at least. For five days the ther mometer ranged from 70 to 95 above zero. Ambulance bells were rung and surgeons kept busy attending persons in all parts of the city who had been overheated. Not only have the records been broken for May 30 and 31 aud June 1, 2 and 3, but there is a grand total of five record breaking days in succession. Never be fore in the history of the local weather department has anything of this nature occurred. It is safe to say that 35 peo ple have died during the five days as a result of the heat and that over 100 have been prostrated and taken to the differ ent hospitals of the city. A good many of those taken to the different public institutions will not recover. The nearest to Monday's heat was June 3, 1884, when the thermometer registered 86.

The burst ing of Curtis lake here Sunday has ser iously menaced property and possibly life in the Medicine valley. The rail road grade is torn up, freight cars are strewn across Medicine bottom, the fine roller mills are ruined, Curtis hike is nearly empty, and a flood of water is running down Medicine valley, carry ing destruction in its mad rush. Four of the five yard tracks, besides the main line, are torn up and gone, while a train of freight cars reach ovei the bank and are swinging in the rush ing flood. Twenty thousand dollars' damage has already been doue here, and all other points to hear from. The fine alfalfa meadows just below the city are ruined and homes all along the valley destroyed. A special from McCook, Neb., says: Grave fears are entertained here that the wall of water reported sweeping down Medicine valley from Curtis will do much damage here. There is much alarm. LONG USTOF LOST. Survivors From the Collmn Wreck Nasi her Twenty-Six. Manzanillo, -Tune 1. The numbez of survivors from the Colinia is 26.

The Mid land Oil company lost five rigs, twe tanks, two boiler houses and considera ble timber; J. K. Campbell, 5,000 feet of hemlock lumber, and Robert Brown a large number of logs. At West Line, a few miles from Kussequa and the terminus of the Mount Jewett, Kiaea and Rutterville railroad, a fire broke. out. A force of men fought it all night' with considerable success, but a brisk wind gave energy to the smouldering embers and caused them to start again with redoubled fury. Three Deaths at Chicago. Chicago, June , Monday was the fifth day of intense heat which has op pressed Chicago, the mercury being 96 in thS shade.
