Minister Ryan Goes Back.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 15.-Hon.
Thomas Ryan, of Kansas, minister to Mex
leo, was greatly astoulshed, if not annoyed,
to learn from dispatches originating. as
alleged, at the City of Mexico, that he had
resigned and would not return to his post
OF du.y. He is at loss to account for this
rumor, since he has neither said nor done
anything that would warrant such q state
ment. Although he came to Washington
on leave of absence, he, nevertheless, had
certain public business to transact, and has
business, in addition to that of q private
nature, has detained HIM here beyond the
has been extended. He stated that 80 soon
as his business should be completed he
would return to the City of Mexico, stopping
en- route for few days at Kansas City and

BoRDENTowN, N. j., November 20-A few
days ago dispatch was sent out from here
telling of the sad condition to which pow
erty had reduced Mrs. Della Stewart Par
nell. The dispatch stated that her house,
"Old Ironsldes," her inherited homestead,
was mortgaged for 5000. and that unless
the sum of 1868 was raise at once the mort
gage would be force. Closed, and the mother'
Of Charles Stewart Parnell would be with.
out roof over her head.
Before the sun went down that night thel
telegraph had brought her enough money
to pay the interest and taxes, and still
money continued to How in from all parts
of the United States.
It looks now as though Mrs. Parnell had
seen her darkest days, and the wOf is moi
longer at the tn eshold of "Old Ironsides. "
It is probable that from the aid already re-;
celved. the ilustrious Irish leaders mother,
will be placed beyond all need. and the en-
tire mortgage raised. Mrs. ParnelPs warmi
heart is filled with gratitude toward heE
generous friends.

STOCK AND FARM.

Lacrosse Chieftain: A. ]. Miller is
in the southern part of the state, where
he has purchased 600 head of sheep,
which he will bring to the farm to fat
ten.
Ness City Times: Notwithstanding
the great crop of wheat raised in War
ing township this year, the acreage
sown this fall will be six times greater.
J. P. Moore is our authority for this
statement.
Wichita Eagle: G. Wood Davis was
in the city taking rest after his sum-
mer's work, part of it consisting in rails
ing fifty thousand bushels of corn. He
says he is not going to sell corn at
present prices, for he can double his
money feeding it. He says the market
at Wichita has brought about a change
and has given chance to dispose Of
corn in a more profitable way.
Dighton Herald: At the election in
Cleveland township, D. 81. Gorby asked
each voter the number of acres Of
wheat and rye they had sowed this
fall, and then averaged it with the vot-
ers. He found there were seventeen
hundred and eighteen acres of wheat
and four hundred and seventy-eight of
rye, which made the average to each
voter seventy-three and one-ffth acres,
enough to keep them for more than a
year, and will put them in good shape
financially.
Norman, I. T. Transcript: The
farmers of this vicinity are evidently
determined to raise cotton in abund-
ance next season, if we may judge by
the talk about that crop at the present
time. Many of the settlers here are
from cotton producing sections, and as
the excellent crop produced in the ter
ritory shows conclusively what can be
done here in the way of cotton raising,
the prospects are that thousands of
acres of Oklahoma soil will produce
cotton next year.

CHICAGO, November 14.-When the ses-
sion of the w. C. T. O. convention, at Bat
terry D armory, was opened it was known
that a storm was coming on, for during the
meeting of yesterday the motions of Mrs.
AIdrich and Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa,
for the consideration of the proposed nom
partisan amendment to the constitution was
set down for to-day.
The amendment provides that the objects
unite the Christian women in non-sectarian
and non-partisan temperance work for the
reformation of the Incorporate and the
education of public sentiment in behalf of
total abstinence and prohibition of the
traffic in alcoholic liquors, the development
Of social purity, the suppression of vice and
crime and the education of the masses IN
the duties and responsibilities of good citi-
Zenshlp."
It was evident from the commencement
of the debate that the feeling of the conven-
ton was overwhelmingly against the pro-
posed amendment. The delegates were not
disposed to listen to the speeches of the
women who favored its adoption, and sew
eral times there was Kisses and crles of ''Sit
down."
Ii ulOVluX Tue Au6uQm0QC, AlOE1Cu,
OF Iowa, said she wished the convention to
accept it, because it was simply right and
just and honest. She said there was no
definite statement of the objects of organ
ization in the constitution. The W. C. T.
o. women occupied an opalus position, be-
cause they declared themselves non-parti-
san. and yet adopted the most bitter parti-
san resolutions. The women associated in
the organ zation had perfect rights, although
not suffrage, and it was wrong for the ma
jority to adopt resolutions binding all
women to support certain political party.
1t was just as wrong for woman to give
away her political influence as for man to
sell his vote.
Mrs. Henry, of Evanston, ILL.,: Mrs. Wells,
of Tennessee; Mrs. II. M. Barker, of South
Dakota; Mrs. Perkins, of Ohio; Mrs. Buell.,
national secretary, andt others spoke in
opposition to the adoption of the amend
ment as a reflection on the previous action
nop-partisan, being ready to support any
party which would put prohibition plank
in its platform.
Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster then spoke. She said
the convention was partisan, despite its de-
claration to the contrary. The name of
honorable men IN the republican party had
been dragged IN the mud on the convention
platform.
u repeat it," said she, 'that the conven-
ton Is partisan, partisan in feeling, partl-
san in its assaults on republican statesmen"
Kisses interrupted the speaker.
eyes, and those Kisses are partisan. They
come from the delegates themselves and
not from the spe tators."
A motion was made to indefinitely postpone
the discussion. 1t was voted down. The
question was then called on the amendment.
About fifty voices cried for its adoption, but
the great bulk of delegates shouted against
it. Miss Willard, as chairman, declared the
amendment lost

The Stevens County Killers.

The Stevens County Killers.
TOPEKA, KAN, November 15.-Deputy
United States Marshals De Bost, McMurray
and billiard returned from Wichita with
Jack jackson, who was arrested there for
being connected with the killing of Sheriff
Cross and four deputies in No Mans Land
last July.
Eighteen more arrests will follow at once,
and warrants are out for twenty-nine men,
who are charged with having been connected
with the killing. They will all be brought
here, and will be taken before Judge Foster.
The offense charged is unbailable, and
as there is no room in the county Jail here
it is not known what will be done with the
men pending hearing.
The case will be tried in the Texas district,
and as the men claim that that or any other
district has no jurisdiction over No Mans
Land, they will resist going to Texas for
trial Lively times are expected.

NEW YoRx, November 1a-According to
Erastus Wyman, of r g. Dun d Co, busi-
mes continues healthy, confident and unprs-
cedented in volume. Long ago it was held
that the years results would turn upon the
crops, and it Is now certain that the yield
has been on the whole about the largest ever
known.
The question, whether the wheat yield u
100000 or $4,000, 900 bushels below the
maximum, u not important The cotton
crop will much exceed any previous ono if
the latest official figures are correct. The
corn crop will exceed any previous crop BY
one to two hundred million. The oat crop
10 also the largest ever known, and the
shortage in potatoes and fruit is immensely
overshadowed by gam in meats.
The exports of provisions and cattle in
October showed against last year gain of
65 per cent.
The capacity of iron furnaces in blast
November was much the greatest ever re-
corded, gain of nearly 10 per cent. for the
month, and gain of It's per cent for the
year. The weekly production isnow greater
than that of Great Britain and close to the
greatest ever recorded in that country, be-
ing at the rate of about I, 800, 900 tons yearly,
after allowance for difference between capac-
ity and actual output. Yet no excess of pro-
duction has been perceived and prices are
firm at the recent advance, an actual sale
of rails being reported at $35. Bar iron is
strong at $1.96; nails IN fair demand at
$40, and pate structural iron and sheet
mills full of orders.
Wheat raised cents. Corn Is but quar-
ter stronger. Pork unchanged, with q
slight advance in lard. petroleum only
shade higher, and oats 1c higher:
Coffee has been advanced &c, but the dis
tribution Is dull. The speculation in stocks
has made small progress.
Railroad earnings are most encouraging,
showing gains of IN per cent for October.
There is more than usual uniformity IN
accounts from all parts of the country.
They are all favorable as to the volume OF
business, and in the main as to collections.
The large exports lessen demands on this
money market, the increase in merchandise
values sent out from this port having been
24.7 per cent. for two weeks of November,
though the imports are also large. The
treasury has again avoided accumulations
of money, having paid out during the week
$55O,OOO more than it has taken in. If the
national hopefulness does not engender ex-
cessive production in some branches, and q
mischevious revival of speculation, the pros
pect for healthy business is excellent.
The business failures number go as COM
pared with 267 last week and 261 the week
previous. For the corresponding week OF
last year the figures were 90.
