The st. Louis Worlds Fair Committee
Correct Misstatement.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-Governor Francis
and Colonel j. H. Jones, who are here in
the interest of the worlds fair loca-
ton at ST. Louis, desire to correct through
the Associated Press the reports sent out
from ST. Louis that they are arranging a
deal or combination with New York and
St. Louis against Chicago. Colonel Jones
said today: I'VE have no authority to
make any such deal, even if there was any
disposition to do so. We came east under
direction of our worlds fair committee to
open Il worlds fair headquarters in Wash
ington. We came to New York on
our way to Washington with two objecUs
in view; first, to find out what prepara-
tions New York is making for appearing
before congress, and second, to convince
the people of New York that st. Louis is
in the race to win, and that the promi-
nence given to Chicago as compared with
St. Louis is not justified by the facts Of the
situation. mo deal or alliance has been
proposed" said Colonel Jones' 81 have no
reason to believe that the gentlemen in
charge of the movement either in New
York or st. Louis would entertain such
proposition if made by either party"

WANTS INGALLS, SEAT.
Judge Foster, of the o. s. Circuit Court,
Resigns His Seat to Enter the Race

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Nov. 16.-A dispatch
to the Journal from Topeka, Kan. says.
Senator Ingalls, will not succeed himself
in the United States senate without hard
fight. The legislature which will choose
his successor will be elected year from
now and the Republican majority will be
by no means SO overwhelming as it has
been heretofore, judging from present in
dications, and Senator Ingalls, seat in the
senate may be said to be in danger. The
thing that complexities the sit
uation SO far as Senator ingalls, is
concerned, is the growing sentiment in ia
vor Of resubmitting the prohibition ques-
ton to a vote of the people with the end in
view of repeating the law. Ga this Ques-
ton the battle in Kansas will be fought
next year. Senator Ingalls, has already
declared himself on the question. He said
only today: "Resubmission is all nonsense.
got what they want, prohibition. If the
question were submitted to a vote 1t
would carry by more than the famous
$1,000 majority" 1t may seem nonsense
to the senator, but it is a dead
earnest question to many other Republic
cans IN the state. One of the strongest
opponents of Senator Ingalls, will be Judge
c. j. Foster, judge of the United States
circuit court at this place. He is a Repub-
lican and he announces this evening that
he has sent in his resignation to join in
the resubmisslon crusade and contest Mr..
Ingalls, seat. He is very popular in Kan
sas and, being speaker of unusual elo-
quence, he will make strong canvass.
Senator ingalls, is here now comforting
with his political friends and mapping out
his campaign.

A PROSPEROUS LOCALITY.

Special dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
LACRoSS, Kan, Nov. 16.-The western
part of Kansas, and especially this part On
the Great Bend extension, has been terri
bly, misrepresented by great many people
and some papers. This part of the country
is in much better shape than ever before.
All along this line may be seen wheat and
corn being hauled into market and cattle
on pasture in fine fix. In this flourishing
little city today were counted forty-fiYe
wagons on the streets that were delivering
wheat at this place, some hauling it as far
as twenty miles from north of Lacrosse,
and very fine quality of grain it is, with
but few exceptions, and all report a large
acreage out and in fine condition all over
the county. The people out here are re-
jOicing over the fact that they now get the

like identifying themselves with Wichita,
and hope to receive more favOrs and ear.

Kansas. And right they are, for if they
wish to tap the center of emigration west
and south Wichita is that point. Certainly
western Kansas deserves and is entitled to
her share of the trade of the people who
come west to build up new homes.

ST. JOHN ON THE SITUATION

KANSAS CITY. No, Nov. 16-Ex-Gov-
ernor John P. st. John was in the city
this morning or his way home to Olathe,
Kan, from the Massachusetts campaign.
In an interview he said that prohibition
had made decided gains in Massachusetts,
and that the party was not discouraged
over the result OF the recent elections in
Iowa and Ohio. he ascrihed the apparent
change of sentiment in those states to the
tariff and said that the farmers of the west
were becoming more united against the
tariff as laid down by the Repub lican par
", and that they could not longer be ex-
peCted TO support its measures The Re
publicsns IN Iowa, he continued. were
traitors TO prohibition, which they never
supported with any zeal He did not
think that the resubmission measure was
growing in Kansas and had no idea that
the legislature would dare 10 adopt II. He
thought ii possible that a constitutional
convention would be called to submit pro-
hibition to the vote of the people. but il
would not be carried. Mr.. st. John will
stump Nebraska tais winter IN the inter
est of the prohibition cause.

BISMARCK'S POLICY.
German Craftsmanship Likely to Prove
Successful in the Bulgarian Question

Copyrighted 1889 by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, Nov. 16.-The developments Of
Prince Bismarck's diplomacy promise to
result in permanent accord between Aus
tria and Russia. The Bismarck scheme
restores Russia dominance in Bulgaria,
Russia, in return, recognizing as definite
Austria S possession of Bosnia and Herze-
gnovia. Since this proposal was communi-
communicated to Premier Crispie, the
latter intimated to Prince Bismarck that
the sanction of Italy might depend
upon the cessation of Trentino by Austria.
The Austrian minister held that the sacri-
flce OF Trentino was impossible. Emperor
Francis Joseph consented to leave Prince
Ferdinand to his fate" and said tie would
not oppose a Russian candidate, provided
he was elected under the conditions of the
Berlin treaty. He practically accorded the
car free hand in Bulgaria short of
Russian occupation or TO send
circular letter to the SignatOry
powers denouncing the illegality of
the present government OF Bulgaria.
Ii Count kalnocky keeps faith with Bis
marck the attitude OF the Vienna cabinet
toward Bulgaria must change. The Bull
garian agent at Vienna has been semi-offi-
cialiy recognized, the landerbank has ne
gotiated the new bulgarian loan and the
Austrian consul at Sofia is the confidential
adviser of Prince Ferdinand. The German
consul, on the other hand, did not even
salute Ferdinand on meeting him Oh the
street and completely ignores him as the
head OF the government.

MRS. pARNElL DESTITUTE.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia special from
Bordertown, \. j., to the Herald says
While Charles Stewart Parnell is fighting
Ireland's enemies in England, his aged
and infirm mother is fighting starvation
in New Jersy. The misfortunes that have
followed Mrs. Della Parnell for many
years have eliminated at last in this, that
she Is alone, penniless and actually desti-
tute OF the necessities of life. She now has
little more than roof to shelter her. Up-
less something is done for her relief she
will not have that two weeks hence. Mrs
Parnell lives alone at lronSldes, the estate
of her father, Commodore Stewart. Mr..
Parnel1, of course, knows nothing OF his
mothers situation. She will not permit
him to know it. She thinks he has about
all the care he can stand now. The infor-
nation that her friends have of him is that
the enormous expenses of the London
Times trial and the parliamentary work
have left Mr.. Parnell almost as poor as his
mother. They nave reports Of the rigid
economies he is said to be practicing in
consequence.
THE STORY CONFIRMED.
BoRDENTON, n. j., Nov. 16.-Dr. NJ. Jen-
kins, of Trenton, was called to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Della ParneII today for the
purpose OF treating that lady. He told a
reporter that he found her yerging on
complete collapse. She is suffering from
congestion OF the brain and heart. When
he called she Was about TO dine on vege-
tables, without either bread or coffee.
