N0N-PARTISAN w. C. T. q.
President Phinney Issues an
>. Address
Both Branches OF the w. e. r. u.
Hold to the Principle Of Prohibi-
ton, Differing as to Means En-
p!oyed-JudGe Them by Their
Works.

CLEVELAND, O., June 2.-The National
Non-PaFtisan w. c. T. e., through Ellen j.
Phinney, has furnished the Associated press
with the Following statement:
HEADQUARTERS NoN-PARI1sAN NATIONAL
w. c. T. o., CLEVELAND, o.
The organization of Non-Partisan Wo-
mems Christian Temperance union in New
York city a week ago has been heralded
through the press with accompanying state
ments altogether unfounded as well as con-
trary to the spirit and aims of the new or
ganization. It ought to be well understood
BY this time, that the principle of prohibit
ton is firmly imbedded in the temperance
faith of both branches of the w. c. T. o.,
and that our difference on this point is
altogether difference of means to that end.
The Partisan w. c. T. Q, believes it is neces-
sary to the enforcement of prohibition that
party be built up having this question for
its main issue, while the Nom Partisals be-
ieve that prohibition will be sooner secured
and better maintained if it is not linked
with the varying fortunes of any political
party, but wins to it the support and defense
of the united temperance sentiment In all
parties. In line with this belief it is unques-
tionably true that the non-partisan women
oy more stress upon various lines of educa-
ton and evangelistic work, believing such
work underlies all permanent temperance
reform, and that without it advanced legisla-
ton would be partial failure. We wish we
might be judged by what we say rather than
by what we leave unsaid, but better still, by
our work rather than our words.

Cholera Prospects.

WASHINGTON. June 21.-Supervising Sur
geon General John B. Hamilton, when asked
how serious the outbreak of cholera at Pu-
ebla de Rugat, in southern Spain, was likely
to be and what the chances were of its
reaching US, replied:
THE indications are that it is the real
Asiatic article that has made its appearance
in southern Spain. The locality is one sub
ject to such visitations as was the case In
1885. Should it become epidemic in Spain
there are two channels of communications
by which it might reach US: through the con-
tinental routes and via Cuba. The latter is
the more dangerous, for there are several
lines of steamers constantly plying between
Cuba and Spanish ports. We keep two san
itary inspectors in Havana to look out for
just such contingency. Should the cholera
appear at Havana and gain any foOthold,
they would notify me at once by cable to
that effect, and extraordinary precautions
would be Immediately adopted to prevent
the entrance of the scourge from that source.
have no fear that it will gain foothold in
France even should it do SO in Spain."

tenss interest came from the White Houss
yesterday. It is no less than positive dec:
laration By President Harrison that he will
not be candidate for denomination under
any consideration or circumstances.
line president, it appears. made up his
mind some time ago not to seek the presi-
dental nomination again. He did not think
1t necessary to make any announcement of
the fact, although it was assumed by thou
sands OF party men that in the natural course
of things he would be candidate for Sec
ond term.
Indeed. the announcement was made to-
day IN the most casual way. The president
was IN conversation with an intimate friend
to-day at the White House and the talk
turned on the silver bill. Incidentally ma
tonal politics was mentioned, and the presi-
dent expressed himself quite freely. He said
among other things, that he had made up his
mind not to be candidate for denominations
and that at the end of his present term he in
tended to settle in Indianapolis again and
resume the practice of law. The presidents
declaration touching his relation to the next
presidential nomination, made, as it was,
without reserve, was soon in wide circulation
and afforded topic for conversation that in
interest subordinated all other topics for the
time"

WASHINGTON d. c., June 1S.-It is pri-
vately stated, upon most excellent authority,
that the recent Original package" decision
of the United States supreme court will be
reconsidered by the court, and there is every
reason to believe that the court will reverse
its decision and by majority vote of two
sustain the prohibition law.
Hon John Y. Stone, attorney general of
Iowa, has been in the city some time in con-
sultation with prominent lawyers in the
house and senate. members of judiciary COM
mittees of both houses and members of ths
supreme court upon this subject. AS a re-
cult Of these conferences, General Stone has
decided that he has more than good fight
ing chance for success if rehearing is given,
and he feels very sanguine.
A motion for a rehearlng of the case will
be in order at the October term of court
General Stone feels that that will be an ad-
vantage, as sentiment against the supreme
court decision is growing stronger each
day, and it is because of the expression OF
the ablest constitutional lawyers of the land
on this subject that he thinks the courts will
reverse its decision.

The National Election BIZ,

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 18.-The national
election bill, as framed by the house repub-
ican caucus committee, has been printed.
The principal features of the measure are as
follows: Chief supervisors of elections in
judicial districts are charged with the execu-
ton of the law, which is to apply to federal
elections in cities of 10000 inhabitants or
upward, and in entire congressional districts,
exclusive of such cities, upon application to
the supervisor of 100 voters, or in counties
or parishes forming part of congressional
districts. upon application of fifty voters. In
canvassing the votes the state laws are to
govern, except that all ballots are to be
counted by tens, first by an inspector OF
elections, and second by supervisor. the
local election officers and the supervisors
upon separate tally sheet, which are to b
compared, and the result publicly announced.
Ballots deposited in the wrong box are to be
counted. Returns are to be made by the
supervisors in duplicate to the clerks OF the
United States circuit courts and to the chief
supervisor, who is to tabulate and refer them
to the United States board of canvassers OF
the congressional district, which is to be
appointed by the United States circuit court:
The board is to convene On November l5 of
each year. and is to declare and certify the
result of the election.

The Rate Hearing.

TOPEKA, KAN, June 20.-The closing day
Of the hearing of the railroad commissioners
developed the gist of the whole matter.
The testimony that the Santa Fe refused
to prorate with other reads, except on Chi
cago business, was denied and proven I'M
true by General Freight Agent Gay, who
produced tariffs to support his denials. The
Rock Island explained its position regarding
prorating, which was that on account of the
inequitable division of freight rates between
that road and the Memphis on southern bus
mess, they had refused to prorate until they
could secure readjustment of that rate.
Speeches were made by Messrs. j. w.
Jones, G. w. Click and Nj. A. Low.
As a matter of fact, it is the opinion of
those who attended the hearing, that the
Kansas City grain men were the only parties
who would be materially benefited by the
rates demanded by the farmers alliance.
The reduction of the local rate to Kansas
City alone. would make Kansas City para
disc for middle men and grain commission
men, when there Is no reason why, by reduc-
ing local rates to all points in Kansas, that
Topeka and other Kansas cities should not
be the buying center. The board took the
matter under advisement and will announce
its decision soon.

Another Railroad Horror.

AsHEv1LLE, N. c., June 2O.-Perhaps the
most destructive wreck, both in life and
property, ever known in the history of the
Western North Carolina railroad, occurred
at Melrose station at the southern side of
Saluda mountain, about thirty-two miles
from this city, ON the Asheville d Spartans-
burg division. Three were killed and several
injured.
From the apex of Saluda mountain to
Melrose, the scene of the accident, distance
of more than three miles. there is fall of
6O9 feet. This fact has made the railroad
authorities specially careful at this point and
an engine is kept constantly there to help
all trains up and down the mountain. The
track was very wet when a coal train
started down, and soon after beginning
the descent, it became evident that the
twelve loaded cars were too much for both
engines to hold, with all brakes down, and
the speed gradually quickened during the
heavy pressure until speed of seventy-five
miles an hour was reached, when the track
spread and the entire outfit plunged head
long down the mountain with horrible
crash, burying beneath the broken bars,
cross ties and earth the brave fellows who
had held to their posts. The loss to the COM
pany in engines and cars alone will reach
$4,000.

The Prison Congress.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 21.-The Interna-
tional Prison Congress, now in session in
this city, has adopted resolutions declaring:
First-That in future treaties between ma
tions the general principle of extradition
should be recognized and an agreement ar
rived at as to the nature of the cases to be
deemed exceptions to the rule.
Second-That international associations
should be organized to assist discharged
prisoners and their families.
Third-That the action of charitable
bodies: both punitive and preventive, should
be brought into general agreement.
Fourth-That inebriety, accompanied by
disorderly conduct, should be punishable.
and that the sellers OF alcohol should be held
responsible for crimes resulting from their
serving of it to drunken men: and that the
sale of liquors on credit or to children should
be prohibited.
Mr.. Randall, of Michigan, will address
the congress on the subject of "Young
Offenders"

ATCHISON FLOODED.
Bridges and Railroad Tracks Are
Washed Away.


Washed Away.
ATcHIsoN. KAS-The heaviest rain ever
known fell here between and 9o'clock
Thursday night. White Clay creek ran to a
much greater height than the oldest inhabit-
ant has ever seen it. 1t became higher and
higher as the rain continued, until it amount
ed to roaring and raging torrent of water.
At no point was it less than 200 feet in width.
Outhouses, sheds and many small dwellings
along its bank were carried away. Three
immense iron railroad bridges over the creek
at Seventh street were carried away, sweep
ing the Main street bridge with them and
the entire mass of iron and lumber lodged
against the Sixth street viaduct. The viaduct
Is an enormous stone structure and may be
able to stand the pressure against it. The
Easements of all the store rooms on the
south side of Commercial between Seventh
and Fourth streets have been flooded and
thousands of dollars worth of goods dam
aged. The main water pipe from the reser-
voir which supplies the city with water, and
which crosses White Clay creek under the
Fifth street bridge, was broken. This caused
the electric light company to shut down and
the city is in darkness. The press rooms of
both the Globe and Champion have been
flooded, and all the press rooms In the city
are in the same fix. The Champion will
probably not appear tomorrow morning. A
partion of the culvert across Commercial
Street at Seventh gave way, doing great
damage. No lives have been reported as
lost, but there have been many narrow es-
rapes. All railroad trains on the Central
Branch and Union Pacific have been aban-
doned for the present, as the bridges are
considered unsafe. Six hundred feet of
track just west of the Central Branch shops
was washed out, and the shops are surround
ed by water.

An Appeal VIII be Taken.

TOPEKA, KAN, June 1s.-County Attorney
R. B. WEIGH has ordered the records from
the United States court to make up his papers
to appeal the original package cases from
the United States circuit court to the
supreme court. Attorney General L. b.
Kellogg will be associated with him on the
side of the state.
One ground of appeal is that the United
States circuit court had no jurisdiction till
the liquor men had exhausted the remedies
of the state courts when the prosecution is
under state law that is valid, this having
always been the rule of comfy between the
two judiciaries. Another ground is that one,
two and three quart bottles are not the kind
of packages that may be sold under the orig
inal package decision; since that decision
authorizes only wholesale dealers to sell, and
the statute fixes five gallons as the least
amount to be handled under a wholesale
dealers license, five gallons is the smallest
package that can be sold.
T. F. Carver the Saline county attorney,
while in Topeka. declared that he would ap-
peal the Salina case to the supreme court,
and he was confident of being able to gain a
reversal of the ruling of the circuit court.

Ruined by a Tornado.

LINCOLN, NEB., June ia tornado struck
the business part of the city, near Twentieth
and o street. The three story block of J. A.
Bailey, costing upwards of $4,000, was COM
pletely demolished. 1t had just been COM
pleted and was not occupied. Across the
street another brick building OF Mr.. Bailey's,
in course of erection, was also blown down.
Two large hay barns were completely de-
stroyed and several dwellings in the vicinity
were more or less damaged. The roofs Of
two or three other blocks were lifted and
considerably damaged. The rain poured in,
drenching the occupants AND the property.
A small house on the outskirts was blown
to pieces, and some of the buildings at the
fair grounds damaged. Several houses were
badly shaken up. The total damage will ex-
coed $4,000. Mr.. Bailey is the greatest suf-
ferer, and public meeting has been called
to lend him some assistance. It is feared he
is financially ruined, as he had no tornado
insurance. Generous citizens will come to
the rescue

Oklahoma Townsites.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 19.-Secretary
Noble will ask congress to appropriate SIS,
900 more for the expenses of Oklahoma town.
site commissioners. Under the townsite act
passed in Nav. seven boards of three men,
oers each were to be appointed. Ten thou
sand dollars Were appropriated to pay their
salaries and other necessary expenses. Each
commissioner will receive $40 per day, and
even if there were no other expenses the APP
preparation would be exhausted in about
forty-eight days. Provision, however, is
made for a clerk to each board, which will
run the expenses up to $50 day; or 500 for
the seven boards. This rate of expense would
exhaust the $4,000 appropriated in about
twenty-six days.
The business before these commissioners
cannot possibly be settled within the time to
which they would be limited we're there but
$4,000 to pay expenses. The secretary will
therefore ask congress for 5000 additional
as the cost incurred by the government in
settling these townsite matters. 1t will have
to be repaid by the territory as soon as it is
in shape to levy tax.

WAsH1SGToS d. c., June 2S-The COM
missioner of Indian affairs has received a
telegram from the governor Of Oklahoma
territory stating that passing cattle from the
Iowa Indian reservation are destroying the
crops of the Oklahoma settlers and asking
that prompt and effective measures be taken
to prevent their depredations. In response
to this appeal the Indian officials have mott
fed the cattlemen occupying under lease tho
grazing lands of the Iowas that if further
damage to the Oklahoma settlers is done by
their cattle they will be summarily removed
from the Indian territory.
HIAwATHA, kAN.-Judge Bassett gave an
opinion that made sound the titles held by
many buyers of Indian land in Brown coun-
ty. The Indians made sales for small
amount of money and as the land grew in
in value have sued different parties from
time to time to regain possession, claiming
that they had been duped into selling. In
one case land that was sold for 81 900 ID now
considered worth $4,000. it being Just south
of the city of Horton. The Indian owner,
All Irvine Gosseline, sued W. W. Letson for
the property, but the court decided that he
had no right to it.

Wreck on the B. g. o.

BAITMoRl, June 23.-The New York ex-
press was wrecked at Child's station, on the
Philadelphia division Of the Baltimore d
Ohio railroad. The driving rod of the en-
CINE broke, spreading the rails. Bishop
keane, of the Catholic University at Wash
ington, and Harry Kelley, SON of Congress
man Kelley, of Kansas, were among those
seriously hurt.
Two sleepers were thrown from an en-
bankment and John Mcnamara of New
York, a drummer, was killed, and Chas.
Ackenheim, chief engineer of the Staten Is
land Rapid Transit railroad, was SO severely
injured that he died of his injuries before he
could be carried to Philadelphia.
According to dispatch from that city,
Bishop Keane was cut about the head and
his body bruised.
Ralph Ingalls,, a son of United States Sen
ator Ingalls,, is among the slightly injured,
of whom there are several.
