THE Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger warmly praises
President Cleveland for the selections Of
oiicers from tho line OF the army for pro-
motion TO staff corps Abou. 200 cfficers
were seeking for tho appointments lust
made, but the president made his selections
regardless of fiuencs or ''pressure, "snd all
officers chosen show over 20 years service
with their regiments. President Cleye.
land has not, during his term, appointed a
single civilian 10 the army, nor has he pro.
moted an officer by "lumping him over
the grade next above that which he held at
the tune OF promotion. Mr.. Cleveland
carried this principle SO far that he steadily
refused to appoint young men from civil
iifa to the grade OF second lieutenant,
oohsc'entiously reserviug these vacancies,
as the law requires, for the grad yates OF the
military academy, and for such meritori.
ons non-commissioned ofhcers az yers

only president who has done this.

Just Before Death.

POTSDAM, June 15.-A bulletin is
sued an hour before the emperor died,
said the emperor has been lying for
some time in light slumber, broken
by wakeful intervals during which he
showed distinct signs of conscious
ness. He gave no indication of suffer
ing pain. His pulse and breathing
were very weak, there had been no
material change in his condition dur
ing the night. All members of the
imperial family remained at the castle
until after midnight. The Empress
did not leave the castle, and at
o'clock, resumed her watch at bedside
of the Emperor.

Something Worth Knowing.

1t seemed TO be the last chance, the
way it looked to our reporter, while
passing the well known house of G..
B. Frank, on Alamo plaza, to see the
great rush, and upon inquiring,
learned that they are closing out their
entire stock of millinery and fancy
goods. On going inside, out of curl
osity, he found all hands busy selling
ladies' trimmed hats, some very nice
styles for 81 and g piece, their for
mer price being more than double this
amount. Also sailor hats at % cents
apiece. former price - cents, and in
fact all their hats are being sold re-
CARELESS of cost, for Mr.. Frank says,
rather than carry them over until next
season he will sell them for what they
will bring. We would advise all our
readers not to let chance like this
go by, but call on Mr.. Frank before
the best styles are closed out.

Factions in Kansas.

WICHITA, Kas., June 15.-From the
statement of Charles r. Rice, farmer,
who came in yesterday from Stevens
county, the scene of the railroad and
county seats fight between the towns
of Hugston and WoOdsdale, it appears
that the entire population is under
arms. Mr.. Rice says squads of armed
and mounted citizens from both places
patrol the country night and day for
miles around. These gangs act as
foraging parties, and have but little
respect for property of others. On
Monday night two of these patrols be-
longing to different factions. met,
and a conflict ensued, during which a
regular fusilade was kept up. 1t is not
known whether any one was wound
ed, but three dead horses were
found on the prairie next morning.
The situation is very serious and
effect of the warfare will be felt long
after the fight has ceased. Farmers
are riding around armed, instead of
tilling their soil, and all crops are
likely to fail in consequence.
Governor Martin has commanded
the militia here to be in
readiness for marching orders at any
time. 1t is hoped the mandate issued
by the supreme court ordering the
commissioners of Stevens county to re-
canvass the vote pOlled at the recent
railroad bond election, will have the
effect of quieting matters,

OUR FUTURE IN COTTON

The receipts OF cotton TO date are only
1898 bales, as compared with 81, 74S bales
at the same date last year. There are two
reasons to account for this heavy falling
Off ~ The backwardness Of the season,
which is at least two weeks behind that Of
last year; and l2) the general quarantine
Of town and country against yellow fever
refugees and the consequent prevention
Of shipments Of cotton by country mer-
chants and farmers to meet their accrued
indebtedness in the city. But we have
no doubt the next two weeks will see this
delay made up for and witness a general
activity in trade that will more than make
up for the depression which the disturbed
condition Of the country, in view Of the
threatened yellow fever epidemics, ag
grayated aud intensified.
