 The City stampeded By the Ravages
 of the Cholera.
 MADRID, June S-Eleven cases of cholera and two deaths from the disease were re ported in this city to-day. At Castelleton de Plana, forty miles from Valencia, forty one cases were reported. The outbreak of cholera in this city despite the elaborate san itary precautions and the assurances of the health officials that there could be no proba- blilty that the scourge would visit Madrid has created stampede and thrown those who are unable to leave the city into state of consternation. Senor Romero Y Robledo, minister of the interior, has resigned because ms plans for the improvement of the sani- tary condition of the city were not in accord With those of his colleagues. His precau- t1onary measures have been the subject of r1d1cule for some time past.

 SECRETARY BAYARD IN KANSAS. He Makes a ForeibIe Address On
 Individuality.
 LAWRENCE, Kan, June S.-To-day has been one of the greatest in the history of this city, the occasion being the visit of Secre- tary of State Bayard. MT. Bayard, his sec retary and Senator Vest arrived last evening. To-day the city was filled with people from all parts of the West Prominent buildings were adorned with flags and bunting and a most hearty reception was accorded the guests. At eight o'clock this sevening MI. Bayard delivered the annual address to the library societies of the University of Kansas in the immense hall. Hundreds of people were unable to gain admission. The Secretary spoke upon Individuality. He said ''The most op- pressive of all despotism is that of numbers for it renders hopeless the sacred right of revolution which may check a single tyrant, but not & majority composed of tyrants. In our day and time another force has grown into mag nitude which calls for the resistance and couRteractants of sturdy Individuality. l refer to artificial combinations called cor porations, which have had many valuable results, but accompanied by other conse- quences unfavorable to liberty and individu- ality. One evil I fear is the impatience of maiorities and their intolerance of opposing opinion and the consequent suppression of individu- ality in public councils. We need individu- ality against the sweep of suddenly aroused and impatient majority" In conclusion the Secretary said: ''Hero worship is high and ennobling. Hero worship desire to encour- age, but who is the hero? Is it the successful or the unsuccessful man? The answer is to be found in what caused his success, the lack of it. Should we ever cease to reverently remember that the truest crown eyer worn this earth was a crown of thorns!'
 After the address 8 reception was held and after that magnificent banquet which was attended by one of the most illustrions as semblages ever gathered together in Kansas Mr. Bayard leaves tomorrow for St. Louis
