LONDON, June M.-The chief sensa-
ton of the week in London is over
what has come to be called the Prince
of Wales leper. By some curious
freak London took unexceptionai
interest in the circumstances
surrounding Father Damien's death.
say curious because during his life
the efforts of Cardinal Manning and
others to raise funds to forward his
work here were dead failures, but
after his death the photographer who
owned a negative of the devoted priest,
coined money and the excitement be-
gan from that moment. The
prince took charge of the
matter and then the doc

held full grown project for found

taken shape. Unfortunately to have

CHICAGO, June 24.-The Rev. Will
liam Henry Beecher died yesterday
morning at the family residence. He
was eighty-seven years old, and his
death was mainly due to his advanced
age. Mr., Beecher was one of seven
brothers, all of whom became preach
ers and all more or less famous. The
brothers are DR.. Edward Beecher.

great confusion. Adams county, the
first on the list, refused to cast her
vote unless the delegation were fur
niShed seats in the convention. All
were Accommodated, but one man, and
he refused to vote, The first four
counties showed a majority of the vote
cast in each to be for Foraker. The
Foraker sentiment in the convention
as the call proceeds is strong and en-
thuSiaStic.
The first ballot resulted as follows:
Foraker, 207; Kennedy, 127; Dawes,
SO: Morey n. Jones, So; O'Neill, SO;
Lampson, SO; Vance, As; Neill, 81; Glib
son, %; General Bushnell, 1.
There were S27 votes cast.
at the conclusion OF the ballot an
effort was made to take a recess, but
delegates and second ballot was
ordered. Kennedy had quite a num-
Der of accessionS, and his friends be-
came enthusiastic before the CALI was
half through. Foraker lost in some
counties and gained slightly in others,
SO that he about held his own.
Motions we're made on behalf of
Morey, Dawes, O'Neall, Jones and 9th
az candidates to make the nomination
of Foraker by reclamation and them
selves withdrawing from the fight.
asked if it was the desire of all the 9TH
er candidates that Foraker should be
declared the nominee by reclamation.
This met with a mixed GLORIOUS of
yes and no, giving evidence
of considerable feeling. Finally about
all the candidates were withdrawn and
on motion by Congressman Mckinley,
Grosvenor, Thompson and others, who
were mixed up in the rush of recogni-
ton, Foraker was declared the NOM
inee of the convention amid the great
est confusion. The chair announced
that they were unable to tell exactly
how many votes the governor
had received, but it was about 600.
The band struck up rally Round

ADaring Robbery

The people of Pike township and the
adjoining parts of Chase county are
somewhat excited over the theft
Of fourteen head of horses from a
couple of men living in Chase, not far
from the Lyon county line. The
horses disappeared about week OF ten
DAYS ago. At the same time Daniel
Triggs, a son of John Triggs of Pike
township, and said to be a rather
tough character, left with a companion
called Moon tor Oklahoma. 1t has
been quite difficult to-day to learn
much of the particulars, no enc here
knowing great deal about the theft.
It appears, however, from all that
could be learned, that there was quite
q conspiracy hatched in Pike township
among several for the purpose Of horse
stealing, and that when it came
to carving the scheme into execution
differences arose between the conspir
atOrs, and Triggs and Moon resolved
to leave the others sut and undertake

Sugar Trust Certificates.

1t will be observed that sugar trust
certificates have recently become one
of the most active and popular securi-
ties handled on the New York Stock
Exchange. Stocks of railroad and tel
egraph companies may be advancing
or dropping, the general list may be
weak or strong, but the securities OF
the sugar combine are generally boom
ing. Holders of the paper of the trunk
lines or the coal roads deem themselves
fortunate if they gain point or two in
month, but the holder of sugar trust
certificates has all days and seasons for
his own. Within about three months
past these securities have increased in
market value about twenty-five points,
and nobody, least of all the individuals
issuing this paper, imag1nes that they
have reached the maximum figure
which they can attain.
There is no room for surprise at the
popularity of the sugar certificates
among investors. The trust has a cap
ital of about $50 600, 600, most of which,
of course, is purely fictitious. Its
profits in 1885, las shown in a recent trade
circular by firm who knew what they
were talking about, were about S14 ,OeO,-
coo. 1t is entirely safe to put the actu-
al cost of the plant employed in sugar
refining at els .O00, 600 or SIG, 600, 900 at
the outside. We have seen the estimate
put at lower figures than either of these
amounts. The higher figure would
undoubtedly cover the entire invest
ment in the business. That is to say,
the sugar refiners made last year so or
80 per cent profit in their business. This
is big gain in these days when money
can be obtained in the business centers
at or per cent, and when the profits
in the large branches of legitimate
trades are probably seldom greater
than 10 or II per cent.
The great profits of the sugar trust
are the result of a vast and precOn-
certed scheme of eXtortiOn and oppres-
sion. They represent tribute ex-
acted from the many for the benefit of
the few. They stand for a toll levied
on 65, 600, 900 people for the personal
emolument of few hundred sugar re-
finers who are already immensely
wealthy. This is a condition of things
which demands remedy at the earli-
est possible opportunity. The facts
that the abuse has been permitted to
become so fragrant and that it has been
endured so long leave the people fairly
open to the imputatiOn either of GRIM
inal negligence in a matter in which
their personal interests were vitality
concerned, or of conspicuous and mex
cusable stupidity in failing to discern
and apply a remedy which they had
always at hand. The republican ma
JOrity in Congress is morally bound to
reduce the duty on refined sugar suffi-
GENTLY to crush the trust and allow
the natural laws of trade, and not the
| fiat OF few individuals, to fix the
price ofthat COMMUNICATIONS Dem

More Satisfactory.

JoHNsTowN, Pa June 24.-Affairs
are shaping themselves more system
atically and to all appearances work is
going on more satisfactorily to-day
than at any time since the disaster.
All the contractors reduced their for
ces this morning, which enables them
to be handled and managed with some
degree of satisfaction. The confusion
which has prevailed in the past seems
to have been allayed and more and
better work is being done now than
when the forces were larger. The
workingmen's camp condemned by the
surgeon general yesterday is being re-
novated and all the surplus about the
place is being burned.

bob Younger, the OUTLAY.

SALTWATER, Mimi, June 24.-It
seems pretty certain that Bob Younger
the Missouri outlaw serving a life sem
tence here for the murder of bank
officer in 1875, will be pardoned within
the next four or five days. The arrival
here of a member of the legislature of
Missouri and two other distinguished
Missourians, with the sisters and aunt
of the three younger boys, looks as
though the matter of a pardon will be
pushed at once. Several hundred of
lawyers, doctors, and other profession
al men have signed the petition for his
release on the ground that he cannot
live long.

Ready for TrIaI.

CHICAGO June 24.-It is altogether in
definite when the suspected murderers
of DR.. Cronin will be brought to trial,
but to-day's proceedings in Judge
ShepardS court would indicate that
the prosecution desires few weeks
investigation before arraigning the sus-
poets before the criminal tribunal.
Coughlin, O'Sullivan and Woodruff
were all marched into Judge Shepard's
court this morning, and in accordance
with time honOred custom asked if
they were ready for trial and if they
desired their case for any particular
time" responded young Woodruff

now as will ever be-" responded the
ice man, Just trifle sulkily. 1T does
not make much difference To me when
the trial is set for; l am ready at any
time"
Are you prepared for trial?" said
the Judge, addressing Coughlin. mo"

My lawyer, W. s. Forrest, is going to
be very busy for week or two, and
says he can't possibly attend to my
case now. For that reason princi-
pally l would prefer that my trial
be not yet set for any particular date. -
THAT will do, +" said the Judge.
The court will not at present set
the date upon which you will be re-
quired TO answer the charges against
you"
The prisoners retired and after Judge
Sheppard had conferred for minute
with the states attorney the court pro-
ceeded with other business. 1t is now
understood that no date will be set
for the trial until after the eXtTadition
of Martin Burke, the Winnipeg sus-
pect as the evidence against him is
really stronger than against any of the
other indicted men.
Contrary to expectation the grand
jury did not this morning resume con-
sideration of the Cronin case. The
story of &. Il. Brooks published with
so much eclat last Saturday has since
been exploded and it was deemed use
less to summon that individual before
the jury. The term of the special Jury
expires by limitation at the close of the
week, and its final report must necce-
sarily be made at that time. 1t was
this morning announced that TO-DAY
and tomorrow would be devoted to
the consideration of the Jail cases and
house that the prosecution has ex.
hausted its list OF witnesses in the Gro.
min case. 1t is not at all improbable
that the jury will be compelled to rem
der its report in this matter upon the
evidence already in.
