souThERN PROGRESS.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Hon. Patrick
WALSH of Georgia president of the Au-
gusta expos ion, has written letter to
President Harrison In response TO a re-
quest for Information in regard to the In
dustrial progress of the south. in which
he says: The south is developing rapidly
aud her manufacturing possibilities can
not be exaggerated. The sauth's cotton
mills used last year over 100000 bales of
the 1900, GO consumed by the United
States In 1880 the south took only $50 600
bales OF the s, 600 700 tons of iron pro-
duced last year the south contri bu ed
600 600 tons or more than the entire pro
due lou of the Union in 1860 En- and
fell behind our country last yeaT 500 900
tons IL Is one of the most encouraging
evidences of the South's industrial prog
reSs that she produced last wear nearly
one-fourth the smouut Of the iron pro
duced in GreAI Britain The figures gwen
are approximately correct he south's
future tor tie mauulstc: ure of cotton i as

THE OHIO SENATORSHIP.

CLEVELAND, O.. Nov. THE next two
months will see what promises to be an
exceptionally bitter contest over the sem
atorShip in Ohio. 1t began as soon as it
was known that the legislature was GER
tainly Republican, and already the lines
are clearly defined Foraker claims nearly
two-thirds of the legislators elect, but his
friends fail to give names, while Sher-
mans friends declare that the ex-gover-
nor's claim is bluff, and give the names
of ffty-four Republican members who are
for the senator's reelection. The Republi
can papers of the state are nearly evenly
divided the Cincinnati Commercial-Ga-
zette. the Columbus Dispatch and the To-
ledo Blade having declared for Foraker,
and the Cleveland Leader, Cincinnati
Times-Star and Columbus State Journal
being staunch advocates of Sherman.
The agitation of the question of unseat-
ing Senator-elect Calvin 5. Brice has begun
in earnest since it has become certain that
the next legislature would have large
Republican majority. Every hepu ollcan
paper in the state is urging the necessity
OF contest, and a strong party sentiment
in favor of some action being taken is de-
veloping. A leading Republican of the
state, who will be IA prominent member of
the incoming state administration, but
whose name is withheld for the present, is
authority for the statement that the new
legislature will elect two senator's, Sher-
man and Foraker, and that Brice's seat
will be contested on the ground OF his in
eligibility at the time of his election. The
plan presents an apparently easy way of
preventing ruction between the friends
of Sherman and Foraker, the rival sena-
tOrlal aSDlrantS.

AN AoIATIc pl AGILE


FRANKFORT, Ind, Nov. An epidemic
of new and dreadful disease has made
its appearance in Kirklin, Ind. Four
children of John Wyman died one after
the other, and on Wednesday Mrs.
Wyman died The father and husband is

The description Of the disease is almost
too dreadful to realize. For the first
stage the patient is affected with mild
fever; the tongue becomes inaamed, aud
assumes huge proportions. The organ
turns very black in color, decomposition
sets in, and, in paroxoyms Of the most in
tense suffering, death ensues Physicians
say that the disease has its me in Asia,
where, among the natives, it is AS fatal as
cholera. They call it Asiatic black tongue,
and confess utter inability to combat its
deadly work.
Later news from the affected district
says that several new cases are reported,

CHANCELLOR SHOWS FAME.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Nov THE fame of
Chancellor F. II. Snow of the Kansas
State university as destroyer of insects
has spread all over the western hemis-
phere His success in getting rid of the
bug pest in Kansas By inoculatlng the
bugs with a fatal disease gave him a
reputation, and he is in constant receipt
of letters from all over the country in re-
gard TO the exterminatiug process. A few
days ago he received a letter from Brazil,
offering him large sum of money if be
could I'D the country OF species OF ant
W which Is very destructive to crops. Today
he received a proposition from milling
firm in Minneapolis. Mimi, offering him
81 600 TO come to Minnesota next simmer
and kill bugs for few weeks The letter
stated that the acreage Of wheat in Min
nesota has been greatly reduced on account
Of the farmers fearing the obstruction by
chinch-bugs, aud the mlllers were afraid

The HAWAIIAN PLANTERS.

CHICAGO, Nov IA B. Spreckels of
San Francisco, speaking of the condition
of affairs in the Hawaiian islands, says:
"The Hawaiians are a discouraged lot,
and they can not see their way very clear
to prosperity in any other way than by an
nexatiOn. With the removal o. the tariff
on sugar and the offering of bounty OF 2
cents per pound for all sugar produced in
the United States, the islands lost the ad-
vantage they had over producers here, in
Cuba and in the PHILIPPINE islands. The
trouble is that labor is dear on the islands
The natives are dying out and the islands
have to depend on the Chinese, japanese,
Portuguese and laborers from other coun-
tries. This years crop OF 40, 900 tons was
the largest ever raised in Hawaii, although
the country ought to produce great deal
more than that. The advantage over other
countries before the removal of the tariff
and the offering of the bounty was about
cents pound in favor of the islands.
The planters had no duty to pay, and in
return the islands received importations
from only the United States. While the
people regard this government as the one
most friendly to them, they think faith
was broken with them in taking away this
advantage, and the object of King Kala-
kaua's visit to this country was to inter-
cede in behalf of the sugar interests when
death overlook him in San Francisco The
way matters are now the large planters
who own improved machinery and labor
saving devices may make little money,
but the smaller planters will have to give

BReNNAN,S TRIAL POSTPONED.

HUGOTON, Kan. Nov. Tt is almost
certain now that James Brennan will
never he tried for the murder OF Colonel
Sam Wood At o'clock yesterday after
noon Special Judge Wall announced that
it had been found impossible to secure a
Jury of unbiased men in Stevens county,
and the case was continued until the Jan
uary term. The prisoner was remanded
t. the custody of Sheriff Cam, to be con-
fined in the Reno county Jail. One hun
bred and ninety-seven men were examined
touching their qualifications as jurors in
the case, and only ten were found who
were acceptable TO the state. Every man
in the county subject to jury duty was
brought into court and examined, and a
number OF old men over 60 years old were
also examined, in the hope that some of
them would prove appropriated, and
would waive their exemption on account
of age.
Attorney General Ives filed an applica-
ton for change of venue, but the counsel
TO- the defense cited many decisions of the
supreme court against granting such an
application to the state, and the Judge re-
fused the application. 1t is not probable
that the state will make another effort TO
secure jury, as it has been shown to be
impossible. After three terms have gone
by without trial the prisoner will be en-
titled to his liberty under the law. After
the adjournment of court the feeling be-
came quite intense against the prisoner.
and the sheriff and one deputy hurried
him intoa carriage and drove to liberal
as rapidly as possible, whence he was
taken this morning to Hutchinson.

ROYAL LIBERTINlSM-

LONDON. Nov THE Evening News of
this city today published story which
tended to create a great sensation in
many circles of society. It is to the effect
that Rosalie Bonaparts has filed petition
asking for a divorce from her husband,
Louis Clavering Bonaparte. This action
is the outcome of rather complicated Sc
ries of matrimonial events which had their
origin in divorce suit instituted against
Rosalie by her former husband. In this
last mentioned suit, Louis Clavering Bo-
naparte was charged by her husband with
having been carbohydrates with. Rosa
lie. The allegations were supported by evil
dence and the divorce prayed for was
granted. The relations between Rosalie
and Louis eliminated in their marriage,
the latter assuming on that occasion the
name of Clovis.
Louis Clavering Bonaparte is the son of
Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte, who died
recently. On Ger. a Louis Clavering con-
tracted a marriage with Laura Scott, and
il is his living with the latter as his wife
which constitutes the grounds for the di-
vorce asked for by Rosalie.

INST AND REVENGE.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. IA little over a
year ago Samuel Stulling came here from
Chicago with his wife aud young woman
named Lucy Swarthouse. Lately Stolling
has been maintaining the Swdrthouse
woman as his mistress against the protests
Of his wife. Miss SwarthOuse often said
that if Stoling returned to his wife she
would Kill him. He had been talking of
doing so for several days past, and tonight,
while he was in room with the woman,
a violent quarrel took place between the
two. A revolver was fired, the ball pass
ing through the mans head, causing in
slant death. The man and woman must
have fought desperately, for when Stoll-
ing's body was examined it was found
that the right leg was broken in two
places. The wound in the head is such as
would be almost impossible for him 10
have inflicted upon himself. and the con-
clusion Is that the mans mistress muir
dered him. She is under arrest, but claims
that Stoling shot himself. Stolling aud
his wife were married at Canton, Mo,
