LINCOLN, July 10. (Speclal.)-Statc
bouse officials were tery silent today con
cerning tho sudden and unexpected Investi
gation of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home
at Grand Island In which so many of tha
atato officers havo taken a part. Secretary
of State I'ortcr furnished tho initiative
when ho slipped out of the city yesterday,
and now three morn populists from the cap

Price. It wis generally expected that Mr.
I'ortor's action would be met with bitter
denunciation from at least n portion of tho
good fuslonlsts nt the capital, but the fact
that three more of their number have gone
well has effectually closed tho mouths
of those who remain.
ThouKh visitors and loungers at the state
house havo dwelt on no other topic tho en
tire day, tho fuslonlstlc tongue obstinately
refuses to wag concerning the general mi
gration or the slate officers to Orand Island.
The only remarks which systematic teasing
succeeded In eliciting were to tho effect
that the gentlemen had merely gone down
to watch tho proceedings of the conven
tion In the Interests of fusion and would
take no active part In any other capacity.
No real attempt Is made to conceal the
fact that I'ortcr. Cornell and Wolfe have
gone to watch the convention, although the
Institution investigation story Is still car
ried out to some extent. Thoso Inquiring
for Mr. Wolfe this morning' at his olTlce
were told that he was out of the city look
ing Into thn condition of some of tho state
institutions, but his destination and the real
purpose of his trip arc tacitly admitted by
everyone.
m j-th mi (lie Decision.
Attorney General Smyth Is still undecided
s to his course In regard to Judge Mun
ger's decision granting to the Chicago, Hur
llngton A Qulncy railroad n temporary In
junction against tho 8tate Hoard of Trans
portation. He stated, however, that It Is
unlikely that the matter will bo taken to
the rourt of appeals, as that tribunal will
not bo In session until October, and a much
more Immediate action and earlier settle
ment Is urgent. To this end the attorney
general Intimated that ho will probably
reach a conclusion as to the course he would
pursue not later than tomorrow night,
Mr. Smyth says that the live stock and
grain rate orders of the board, on account
of which the railroads applied for an injunc
tion, are thn only element which can pos
sibly bo affected by Judge Munger's deci
sion. James Ingram, a well borer and ma
chinist, was found early this morning In
his shop under tho Walton hotel uncon
scious from thc effects of a large quantity
of boiler compound which he bad taken
with suicidal Intent. Physicians were
called nt onco and Ingram was soon rc
rtored to consciousness. Two hours later
ho was pronounced to be out of danger.
Ingram had been drinking henvlly all day
yesterday and late at night ho went alono
to bis shop, when he b'rooflcd over a quar
rel he had had with his daughter early that
day. He became despondent and drank n
considerable! quantity of a boiler cleansing
compound which contained potatslum.
Reports have Just reached here of a very
heavy halUto'rra w'lilch swept,' across thn
southern portion of Lancaster county last
night. From tho telegraphic dispatches It
In gathered that the area covered by the

WASHINGTON, "July 20 -Mr. Charle
magne Tower, United States ambassador to
Russia, arrived In Washington today and
went directly to the State department to
pay his respects to Secretary Hay. Mr.
Tower Is on a threo months' leavo of ab
sence from his post.
This leave was applied for four months
ago, so that his return at this tlmo cannot
bo connected with tho Chinee situation.
Mr. Tower declares that, Judging from tho
feeling he saw at, St. Petersburg, nnd In the
other great European cities through which
he passed on his way home, the United
StAtes Is In a peculiarly favored position.
While there was no sign when he left of
the present great upheaval In China, with
Its accompanying International complica
tions, It was evident to him that In any
such question as this, the United States
an a nation, occupied the singular position
of being the only power In the world that
could Act to advantage by reason of Its
possession of the unreserved confidence of
the other powers. One and all regard the
United States as free from selfish motives
In Its eastern policies, nnd, consequently,
aro disposed to attach great weight to the
utterance of the State department nnd nrc
likely to ncept Its leadership on disputed
questions without suspicion.
"As far as tho report of war between
Russia and China is concerned," said Mr.
Tower, In reply to a question, "I think It
Is totally unwarranted. What I have under
stood Is that the Russian government has
declared a state of siege, which In equiva
lent, under Its procedure, merely to a mili
tary government for tho purpose of restor
ing order. It is not a declaration ot war
In any sense."
After remaining here a couple of days
Mr. Tower will leavo for Philadelphia, and
In a short time he will go to Canton to see
President McKlnley. He said that the rela
tions now existing between Russia and tho
United States were of the most cordial
kind, and that no question of any kind
was pending that would affect this cordiality.
AMERICAN GOODS IN SIBERIA

Competition,
WASHINGTON. July 20. "Wo are now
building a railway Into China, but the
chances are that the Americans will bene
fit more from tho Chinese markets than the
Russians," says n leading newspaper of
Russia In an article recently published,
which Consular Agent Harris at Elbenetock
has transmitted to the State department.
"This last winter," continues tho article,
"has witnessed an enormous Import of Amer
ican products Into Amur province of Siberia,
not fancy articles, but substantial com
modities made necessary for every day life,
Theso products are handled In quantities and
Aro sold with the skill known only to the
American."
Siberian merchants are beginning to feel
Ihe pressure, the article says, and are de
manding the exclusion of American im
ports, but the buyers protest against any
such action, on tho ground that in Siberia
there Is an industrial standstill and the
prlceo are extremely high.
"During the time that we are quarreling
about the tariff and the abolishment of tho
free port of Vladlvostock," It continues,
"the Americans havo taken possession ot
tho Siberian markets,"
Consular Agent Harris says that this la
doubtlers exasseratcd, but that It Is use
less to deny that foreign capital and
Intelligence have found a profitable field In
Siberia.
"With cheaper transportation rates," he
says, "there Is no question that we could
greatly Increase our trade with that em
pire." OFFICIALS CONFER ON CUBA
Fix on Time for HnldloK Election to
Formnlnte Independent
Government.
WASHINGTON. July 20. It Is understood
that the president and General Wood have
agreed on September 15 as the time for hold
ing the election in Cuba for delegates to the
constitutional cenventlon that Is to be called
for the purpose of formulating a constitution
for nn Independent government for Cuba.
On the return of General Wood to Cuba ho
will confer with the leaders of the Cuban
people as to tho details of the election nnd
what restrictions, if nny, should be placed
upon unlvorsal suffrage In the island. It
Is now hoped that tho constitutional conven
tion will be held beforo the end of the year
and, if possible, as early as October 1C.
There is po doubt that any constitution that
may be formed will be scrutinized carefully
by the president and possibly by congress
before It is allowed to go Into operation, for
It is the settled conviction of the officials
that Cuba should not be permitted to make
treaties with foreign nations, except through
the United States, nor should the people bo
allowed to Involve the island in debt unleBS
authorized to do so by this government.

SCENE AT ATLANTA REUNION

ins sentiment of the veterans of the great
gray and tho blue on this question when
1 say that silence is more desirable than
ngltntlon In connection therewith. On the
great record of thote years the history of
unsurpani'cd heroism In capturing or de
fending battle flags has nn undying plnce.
This monument to valor will never perish,
but the crumbling Hugs will soon decay.
Under these conditions let us have both
ns an undisturbed legacy of equal heroism
to the future.
Governor Mount's Itemnrka,
Governor James A. Mount of Indiana fol
lowed General Shaw. Governor Mount said
In part:
len of the south, look not backward, hut
with eyes front, face the new duties nnd
responsibilities und mnrch forward with
the same elastic step nnd courageous heart
that characterized you as soldiers. Wo
have passed beyond the old battlefields of
tho civil war, but there nre new Holds of
Industrial conquest before us. Let us face
the future resplendent with hope. Marvel
oum has been our progress since the civil
war. Tho world stands amazed at this
matchless growth. Wo lead the nations of
tho world today In all the constituent ele
ments of greatness and power.
The vustnoss of our resources havo not
yet been explored, much less developed.
The general, tho unflagging energy nnd
restless push of our people, coupled with
tho illimitable possibilities of our national
resources, Imllcntn still grander achieve
ments for our country. This nation Is n
world power, not seeking Imperialistic
domination, but causing thoso under Im
perialistic rule to hope for tho liberty
guaranteed the Individual citizens under
the American ting.
American soldiers have plnnted tho Amer
ican ling on new territory. Where Amer
ican blood has been shed the American
nation has a right to be heard. The Amer
ican Mag hns never yet been the harbinger
of oppression. I do not believe it ever will
be. The oppressed subjects of tyrannlcnl
Snnln may safely welcome tho banner of
liberty and hopo for the protection and op
portunities It will give to tho citizens under
Its protection.
Sons of hero sires, who wore the blue nnd
the gray, will avenge tho brutal atrocities
upon tho representatives of our govern
ment In China and upon the missionaries
and Amerlcnn citizens there. From the
serfdom of Isolation und the dnmlnancy of
superstition and fanaticism our bravo boys
may yet aid In breaking the Imperialistic
thraldom that has long separated China
from the world nnd mude it posslblo for
that empire to shock tho world with brutal
cruelty. Mighty events nre rapidly trans
piring. This Is a history mnklnir, geography-changing
epoch. Grave responsibili
ties are beforo the nation. I rejoice In
this reunion. United wo will face duty nnd
destiny.
The harbecue this afternoon closed the
reunion In this city of the Blue and the
Gray.
