DAMAGE BY RAINS.
Serious Injury to the Hay and Grain Crops
in California

SAN FRANCIsco. June 13-The heavy rains of
the past week inflicted great damage on the
crops. Although June rains are not unusual in
this State, never during any year since 1850 have
they been so heavy as this year. The Signal
Service bureau in this city reports the greatest
fall in June for the last thirty-four years,
one inch and two hundredths, and at Sac
ramento, which is a better indicative point
for the whole State, the highest rainfall
for the same month during the same period, was
l 1O-100 inch. From the first of the present
month, up TO noon to-day, 37-100 inches has
fallen more than twice the quantity for any
preceding entire month of June. Reports re-
ceived to day from fifteen different localities an
nounce the hay crop almost completely destroyed
while wheat and barley are seriously injured.
The loss in some sections is estimated as high as
10 per cent of the estimate of two weeks ago.
The lodging of grain will materially affect the
yield, but to what extent is impossible yet to de-
termine. Should moist weather continue much
longer, the present losses will be largely in
creased, whereas a few days of cool, windy
weather would greatly remedy the evil.

A DisgracefuI FaiInre.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The Star says the
disclosures show the failure of the banking
house of Middleton & Co. not only the most
disgraceful bub one of the most disastrous on
record. The property left for safekeeping good
margins on stocks, charity funds, all of the de-
posits, and, in fact everything has been swept
away and used by this firm until it is doubtful
if a pays cent, or even mill on the dollar.
1t is shown than they have been given funds to
make purchases which they have simply passed
to their own credit and spent Dickman, for
merly Middleton's partner in New York, said if
the Middletons had any defense or ex-
plantations to make they could very easily ap-
pear before the creditors committee and show
if these large sums were lost through
failures in ordinary business channels, or had
been, as is openly charged, deliberately stolen
Some of the sufferers were before the grand jury
yesterday, endeavoring to secure the Indictment
of the Mddletons for obtaining money under
false pretenses The developments are not yet
made public, and promise some very ugly

be made as proclamations of matters of fact,
Scarcely contested. But since his declination it
has become free-for-all race with many ambi-
tious entries Congressman from the different
States say the attendance will be larger than. at
this Republican convention, and twice as large
as at Cincinnati or st. Louis four and eight years
ago.
Still the interest in national Democratic poll
tics centers upon New York That State has
three pronounced candidates in the field already.
Two of them, Cleveland and Flower it is gener-
ally believed, cannot be reconciled to yield the
field one to the other. Cleveland has large
following in the city of New York, among the
machine men, and claims to have the support of
Tilden and John Kelley. Flowers support, as
intimated in these dispatches some time ago, has
largely been secured through the influence of
his barrel. The popularity of man secured by
the impulse of the people, it is argued, cannot
be smothered, nor can the following man has
purchased be won from him by his consent, as
politicians do not yield positions which they have
taken at great expense. So in the opinion
of such men as Representatives Sunset Cox and
Bagley, of New York, the candidates and factions
in that State will ruin its chances of represent
ing the head of the ticket and the delegation
will appear at Chicago with its throat cut in
very much the same way the Republican dele
cation did on the 3rd inst.
AS it looks now, New York will not get more
than the second place Although there has been
great boom in the House yesterday and today
for Cleveland, the Western States spoke strong
for Mcdonald and Slocum. A disposition has
been shown in some eastern sections to reverse
the ends of this combination, placing Slocum
first, but the Westeners say that
that would make a kangaroo tcket-a ticket
largest in its hind quarters and that it would
be beneath the dignity OF an old statesman
like Mcdonald to take a second place with
either Slocum or Cleveland. The fact that Slo-
cum received last year a majority of 109, 702 for
congressman at large from New York is in
stanced as showing his strength in the State, but
the fact that he fell $4,000 behind Cleveland is
also pointed out by the friends of the latter. A
good deal of feeling in the New York ranks is
already preceptble from this viewpoint
but the leaders who have dropped in here say
this will be smoothed over next week. New
York is just big enough in conventions, and has
just enough cross factions, said member from
the city to-day, ito get up quarrels and cheat
herself out of the fat in politics. Every year
it becomes less and less possible for either party
to harmonize and it is for that reason that
predict we will loose the persimmon at Chicago
next month";

but Walter for the last six months has shown a
growing fascination for Miss Eta Finney, aged
nineteen, eliminating a month ago in an az
tempted elopement, but they were caught
Since that time Walter seemed to forget his
former fascination for Miss Finney

here yesterday morning. While waiting in the

chief of police came in with Il tele-
gram to head them off from the
old man, saying he would be here on the first

with two uncles. A lively scene eusued in
which the young man held his own, saying he
would not return but with the girl as his wife
To this the elder objected, forbade the probate

BUSINESS DIFFICULTIES.
A Hearing of the Gases of the Penn Bank
Ofiicials at Pittsburg.

Officials at Pittsburg.
PITTsBURG, June ia hearing was had this
morning in the cases of Thomas j. Watson the
oilbroker, and Cashier Reiber, charged with
conspiring to defraud the Penn Bank President
Riddle was indicted on information, but waived
hearing, and gave bail for court. The testi-
mony was mainly repetition of the facts al
ready published, but tended to show that Riddle,
Watson and Reiber were associated in oil specu-
lations and overdrafts of fictitious firms repre-
sented in their transactions in oil. One of the
fictitious accounts opened with an overdraft of
200, and at the closing of the bank was over
$500 900 overdrawn. Thomas j. Watsons
individual account was $4,000 over
drawn. The charges against the overdrawn
accounts were made by direction of President
Riddle, and Reiber was cognizant of the condi-
ton of the accounts. Testimony for the de-
fense will be heard next Friday. Assignee
Warner, to-day, stated that he is getting the
affairs of the bank in shape, and it is now
thought that instead of paying only two cents, it
will pay twenty five cents on the dollar.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Voorhees,
was interviewed again to-day on the presidential
outlook, this time by Star representative, and
with this result: Senator Voorhees, thinks the
Democratic party should nominate candidate
from the great and growing West. He says the
TWEEN tyfve years. only to meet defeat-once
through fraud-but final defeat. nevertheless.
He declares that the nomination of ex-senator
Mcdonald would make the electoral vote of In
diana safe for the Democrats. Mcdonald can
carry Indiana by 10000 majority" said Voor-
hees, "and lie can carry New York. The leading
Democrats of New york admit that
Mcdonald can carry that State "
Mr.. Voorhees, said that he had no
patience with the statement sometimes made
that the Catholics would not support Mcdonald.
Did any Catholic ever say so9" he asked with
some warmth. mo, sir; no Catholic ever said
so. The Catholics of Indiana are among Mr..
McDonald's warmest friends and supporters.
They know his private life, and know
That it is spotless. 1 know that, too.
I say I know his private life has been spotless.
Mr.. Voorhees, said that Mcdonald and Cleveland
would make the strongest ticket. He was con-
fdent that Bayard could not carry Indiana
against Blaine. Bayards financial views, he
said would make him weak in Indiana and
throughout the West, and the idea that Catholics
would object to Mcdonald proceeds from the
fact that he married divorced woman.

THE DYNAMITE PROPAGANDA.
An Increase of English Irritation Because
of American Inaction.

VI american 1HacIlOns
LONDON, June 13-Special cablegrams from
Washington announcing that the United States
government has received no communication from
England concerning American dynamite con
spiracies against the British government, and
meditates no suppressive action, have kindled
anew the feeling of irritation against the Ameri-
can authorities. The belief that the United
States ought to do something to stop the dyna-
mite propaganda and prevent unlawful enter
prses against friendly powers from being car
ried on within the country, is growing stronger
both in and out of Parliament. Much curiosity
is manifested as to the attitude of Minister
Lowell on the subject and as to whether he has
received notice of any contemplated action by his
government His residence has been besieged
during the last two days by reporters from all
the metropolitan dailes, who have made desper-
ate but futile efforts to obtain interviews
Your correspondent made a similar attempt
to-day, and with slightly better results Mr..
Lowell did not refuse to receive him. and re-
sorted to no diplomatic fictions to evade the
reportorial attack He was, however, very
wary and, while he was courteous, he was levi
IDENTIFY unlncllned to talk about the international
phase of the dynamite question. He refused
to state directly whether he had received any
instructions from Washington the subject
but intimated that he had not by saying that
when he received any instructions from his
government he would promptly communicate
them to the British Foreign Office, and that
then he might have something to say of interest
to the press. In regard to the passage by the
United States Congress of laws for the repres-
sion of dynamite agitation, Mr. Lowell SAID
that there was one source of confusion in the
English mind concerning the law-making power
in the United States which ought to be removed
The general impression among Englishmen
seemed to be that the American Congress legis
lated on all subjects, great or small, throughout
the country, just as the British Parliament does
for Great Britain and Ireland. AS matter of
fact however, in the complex organization of
the United States such laws as had been sug-
gested by Englshmen for the repression of the
alleged American dynamiters were not really
within the power of the federal Congress to pass
or the federal government to execute, but were
within the province of the State and municipal
governments. This applied to every proposed
new law which he had seen suggested, with the
exception, possibly of those proposed to regulate
the export of explosives. In regard to even
these there was danger of hampering legitimate
trade without checking the smuggling On this
point however, Mr., Lowell suddenly checked
himself and said that, as his duties were in no
sense legislative, he must decline to discuss the
feasibility of the proposed new laws.
