COnkling the Man for the Hour.
New York, June 1.-THE New York
Herald continues coaxing Conkling to
leave the Republican party. 1t says: We
repeat it. We can see no peace for Conk-
ling in the party as at present organized.
He certainly annot sit in convention with
men who have trampled to the four winds
Of heaven calumny against his personal
and public character. Behind lobbyists at
Albany and rufians at Chicago, there is a
public opinion which respects sincerity,
eloquence and courage. To this opinion
no avenging statesman ever appealed in
vain. The hour has come, if Conkling has
the wisdom as well as the courage, he is
the man for the hour.
The Times thinks the bribery investiga-
ton certain to be very wordy and long. 1t
is only too obvious that the committee ia
not proceeding in a way to convince the
public of its determination to search out
the truth at all hazards. Members Of the
Legislature show much more concern as to
how it will affect the party or faction with
which they chance to be connected, than
how an ugly stain made on the fair name
of a State can be cleared off.
The Tribune says: II the bribery charge
is true, why is it necessary to pack the
committee with Conkling men to investi-
gate it? Why is it necessary for q packed
committee to do all it can to hinder inves-
tigation?
The Great Tornado I'm Kansas.
ST. LOUIS, June 11~.-Additional partic-
ulars of the tornado in Kansas are that the
storm extended into Dixon county and did
great damage to crops, buildings, fences,
etc., all over that part Of the country. The
town Of Americas, near Emporia, is al
most entirely destroyed-every building
being more or less damaged. The United
Presbyterian Church is literally torn to
pieces, and the Methodist Church is blown
off its foundation and almost totally de-
stroyed. Several houses in Emporia were
blown down, and fences and other property
damaged. The north and east additions to
the State Normal School were unroofed
and the walls partly torn down. Wheat is
just ready for harvesting, and the other
crops everywherein the tracks Of the storm
were either blown away or beaten into the
earth by the hail, an immense quantity OF
which fell during the storm.
Dissatisfaction with De Lesseps.
New York, June 1.-THE French cor
respondent Of the Americana. says Of the
protocol, declined by the Panama Govern
ment, there can be no doubt that the Uni
ted States will cling to the ultimatum,
whether accepted by Colombia or not, and
this is SO well understood at Panama that
drafts drawn by agents Of the De Lesseps
Company are sold at 81 per cent more dis
count than ordinary bankers drafts. De

ments, which was to let Americans furnish
machines, provisions and tools needed, or
the works upon the canal, has caused great
dissatisfaction in the United States.
Pitney Refuses to Testify.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Pitney, Custo-
dian of the Treasury, refuses to testify un-
der oath before the Investigating Commit
tee, and there is nc way to compel him, as
he might thus criminate himself. He will
answer questions if not sworn. Some peo-
pie declare that he is holding his mouth to
protect others above him; in fact, he has
limited so. He has charged for candles in
his accounts, though he acknowledges lone
were bought or used, but he says he bought
some lunches for. officials, under orders,
charged them mp as candles.
A Storm and Waterspout.
ST.. LOUIS, June 11.-Southwest Mis-
souri,, 1t seems, has been visited by the
same storm that ravaged parts of Kansas
Thursday mig hit. The wind was not so
severe. but hail fell over q large area Of
country, and did great damage to crops
and window glass. A waterspout broke in
q little valley in Barry County, and before
the people could reach the surrounding
hills q torrent Of water rushed down, TAX
ing with it houses. household goods and
animals belonging there. At Living
Springs three women, five small children
and . man were swept away by the food,
but fortunately all lodged in bushes and
were rescued some hours after.
Arkansas Desperadoes.
LITTLE Rock, June 10.-The militia has
been ordered to Perry county, where the
desperadoes are armed and determined to
prevent the return Of Harris aud Mathews.
The Governor may order them to disperse.
Trouble is ~apprehendsd, as the excitement
Is intense. The County Assessor. and two
other citizens of Perry county have reached
this city. They claim that they have been
compelled to leave to escape death at the
hands OF desperadoes who had them In
custody once. The Governor will summa-
rily suppress these outragss by placing
Perry county under martial law.

safe of County Treasurer at Pawnee City,
