BY SUBSCRIPTION.

The plan suggested by the state
board of agriculture for raising money
by subscription to make an exhibit Of
Kansas products at the Worlds Fair
involves an assessment of 80 mills
upon the valuation listed for taxation
in each county, to be raised By solicit
ing committees appointed in the sever
al counties for that purpose That
will distribute the work among the
people in proportion to their financial
ability, and the proposition is generally
regarded as being just and feasible.
By the adoption Of this method Shaw

THE GRAND JURY REPORTS.

No Action recommended in the Case of
the Lynchers.
AT New New Orleans, La, on the 9th,
the grand jury made a report on the
Malta affair, returning no indictments
against any of the crowd who
shot the eleven Italians in the
parish prison. Indictments are found
against Cooney, O'Malley, Granger.
Armaut and Claudi for attempting to
bride talesmen. The Jury also declares
that at least three of the twelve jurors
empaneled to try the men accused
of numbering Chief of Police Hen
messy were controlled by money
influence. The jury is severely scored
for inattention to testimony and general
incapacity to perform it's sworn duty,
while O'Malley and his detective
agency are declared to be a menace to
the commonwealth. In view of the
fact that 5000 to 5000 people were di
rectly engaged in the lynching, and the
difficulty of fixing the guilt upon any
number of the participants, the grand
jury decided that it would not be JUS
tilted in pres enting indictments.

THAYER MAY BE BOUNCED.

Irregular Act of the Supreme Court in
Removing Boyd franz tho CHAR.
oHlKHA, NeF., May ia bombshell
has been exploded in political circles
by the official announcement that the
verdict in the Boyd-Thaver contest was
rendered by the supreme court without
q discussion of the issues and merits of
the case by the judges Of the court.
Never during the entire proceedings
was conference held at which Judge
Maxwell was present to express or in
terchange his views with bis colleagues.
That Boyd's summary taking-of was
preconcerted is proved by the fact that
Penitentiary Contractor Mosier was on
hand in the capitol an hour before the
decision was rendered, and promptly
presented himself to sign Thayer's
bond. This will constitute the chief
plea in the appeal to the United States
supreme court by Boyd.

HE is NOT A CITIZEN.
The Nebraska Supreme Court Decides
Against Boyd.

The Nebraska Supreme Court Decides
Against Boyd.
The supreme court of Nebraska Gusts
Boyd. 1t declares Thayer governor of
Nebraska.
The decision is ON the ground that
Boyd is not citizen. After quoting the
constitution relative to aliens it dis
poses of the question in the
following words: "Under the constitu-
ton a person elected to the office
of governor is entitled to discharge the
duties and receive the emoluments of
the office until a successor is duly elect
ed and qualified. When the person re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
for the office Of governor is in
eligible, under the constitution, to
be elected, the governor holds over
The duties of the chief executive
office of the state devolve upon the lieu
tenant-governor in certain contingen-
cies, among which are the failure of the
governor-elect to qualify and the dis
ability of the governor. 1t cannot be
said that there has been failure to
qualify where no person has been con-
stitutionally elected to the office"
When the writ was served on Gov
Boyd he received it calmly and said :
4 am ready to turn over the office
now," and turned over the office to
Gov. Thayer. 1t is stated that Mr. Boyd
will carry the case to the supreme court
of the United States. The decision may
be said to be a surprise. The opinion
was that, in the event of the ousting Of
Boyd, Lieut.-Gov. Majors would be
named as the successor

Short on Corn.

Dr. Won Betticher, secretary of the
German imperial home office, in the
Reichstag, replying to a question, on
18th, as to how the government intended
to relieve the pressure being felt by the
people owing to the high price of corn,
said that it was impossible to discuss
the matter pending commercial arrange
ments which were being made with 9TH
er states. The crop prospects Of the
world generally, said DR.. Won Beet
ticher, were not bad in view of the i'm
provement recorded during the last few
days. 1t was not yet fully known what
quantity of breadstufs were available,
but Dr. Won Betticher hoped that it
would suffice to meet the requireme nts.
Should this not be the case the govern
ment would take special measures to re-
lieve the pressure without losing sight
of the farming interests of Germany.

BIG FIRE AT PITTSBURG.

cent Buildings Go.

Ada
cent Buildings Go.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May Ga fire that
broke out in this city just before mid
night proved one of the most danger
Gus the city department ever encount-
cred. The first blaze was discovered
in the lower floor Of the great
Arbuckle building on Seventh
Street, ner Duquesne. It is occu-
pied by the Grocers' Supply and
Storage Company. and the seven-story
structure, 1C0 feet wide and several
hundred feet deep, was soon mass of
flame from roof to cellar. The heat was
SO intense the firemen found it impossi-
bic to reach the building with water,
and in a short while the adjoining
buildings were ablaze and the entire
square was menaced. The high wind
swept the fire across to the Pittsburg
Female College building, where
lively scene was presented
as the several scores of lady students
scurried about amid shower of sparks,
attempting to save their belongings
They were finally taken to hotel and
the fire completely burned the hand
some interior of the large building.
Then the high walls of the Arbucllle
building began falling, and the mass
of flames, driven by the winds,
caught the steeple Of the Christ
NJ. e. Church on Pennsylva-
MIA Avenue, which blazed like bea-
con, towering far above the weak
streams directed toward it. The church
soon shared the fate of the other build
ings. A perfect maize Of wires ran
along both Seventh and Pennsylvania
streets, and the church steeple, per-
feet blaze of light. crashed down, the
electric sparks adding q new terror to
wallis crashing on every side.
At A. NJ. the fremen were still work
ing hard, and it is believed the flames
are under control, though nearby bust
ness blocks were thought lost at one
time. The losses are SO widely distrib-
uted it is impossible to secure them pre-
clsely, but they will certainly reach
$750,000.
At l 80 A. NJ. the fire caught up a row
of tenement houses on Seventh Street.
At this hour it is thought the tenements
and surrounding buildings will be saved.

BLAINE'S CLEVER CONUNDRUM
He Asks Sir Julian Pssuncefote o Hard
Question to Answer.

Question to Answer.
WASHINGTON, D. O., May S.-Secretary
Blaine last evening made public his lat
est communication on the Behring Sea
matter. After reviewing the CORE
spondence at some length, correcting
misstatements made by Sir Julien
Pauncefote, Mr.. Blaine says:
The United States has, among other
grounds, insisted, without recurring to any
Of their inherited and superior rights in
Alaska, that this government has as full
authority for going beyond the three-mile
line, in case Of proved necessity, DIS Great
Britain possesses. Two or three instances
of the power which Great Britain exer-
cises beyond the three-mile line have
already been quoted, but have failed
PLANTATION from Lord Salisbury. An
ocher case can be added which,
perhaps. is still more to the point. In 1889
only two years agO-the British Parlia-
ment enacted law. the effect of which is
fully shown by q map enclosed herewith.
Far outside the three-mile line the Parlia-
ment of Great Britain has attempted to
control a body Of water situated beyond
the northeastern section OF Scotland, 2,1G0
square miles in extent, and TO direct that
certain methods of fishing shall not be
used within that body of water under a
prescribed penalty. 1t will be observed
that the inhibition is not alone against
British subjects, but against 'any person"
* If GRAFT Britain mav thus
control ali area Of z, 700 square miles of
ocean on the coast OF Scotland why may
not the United States prescribe a space
around the Pribylotf Islands in which
similar prohibitions NAV be enforced?
1t must not escape observation that the
area Of water outside the three-mile line on
the coast of Scotland, whose control is as
sumed by Great Britain, IS as large as
would be found inside a line drawn from
Cape Cod to Portland harbor on the New
England coast
Lord Salisbury Teasserts his contention
that the words ''Pacitc Ocean, at the time
of the treaty between Russia and Great
Britain did in lude Behring Sea. I'm
doubleday the Pacific Ocean includes Beh
ring Sea in the same sense that the
Atlantic Ocean includes the Gulf of
Mexico, and yet it would be re-
garded as very inaccurate statement to
say that the Mississippi River flows INTO
the Atlantic Ocean. l think Lord Sails
bury fails to recognize the common DIS
tinctiOn between the Atlantic Ocean"
and ''the waters of the Atlantic While
the Mexican Gulf is not Il parC Of the At
antic Ocean, it would, [ am sure, comport
with general usage to say chat it belongs
to the waters of the Atlantic, and while
Behrlng Sea IS not technically part of
the Pacific Ocean it undoubtedly belongs
to the waters of the Pacific.
