The Coster-Martln Failure.

CHICAGO, June ?. --Coster e. Martin,
whose failure produced such sensa-
ton on the board of trade yesterday,
made voluntary assignment in the
county court later in the day.
The amount of the failure is
reported to be from S25O,O00 to
$500, 900. An interesting phase
of the board of trade operations was
demonstrated in the bankrupt firms
transfer of CO. 600 bushels of corn back
to the seller. This operator had SOLD
TO the firm for 81 and when it couldn't
be paid for he sold it at so cents, losing
$50, 900 inside Of an hour.

KANSAS NOTES.
Short Items Of Interest From All
Parts OF the State.
Observance Of Columbus Day.

Observance Of Columbus Day
We believe every pupil in the state
public schools will wish to participate
Ia the uniform celebration OF Americas
birth into the realm OF civilization. Is
1t not an inspiring thought that on oc-
tober 18th from Plymouth Rock to the
Golden Gate IS, 100000 pupils will be
engaged in uniurling and cheering the
national colors, singing the same
songs and delivering the same patriotic
Orationsp In doing this they will not
only learn valuable truths OF history
but incidentally will bring to the
thought of every intelligent citizen
what America owes to free education.
Teachers should begin at once to
make preparations for exercises
worthy OF the day. They should in
struct their pupils to watch the papers
and clip from their columns all articles
relating to this celebration.
The official program which will be
announced by the executive committee
on or before September LIST, will en-
brace an ode, national song, reel
tation, and a brief GRAFTON. Raising
and saluting the school-house flag will
also be part OF the morning exer-
cises. These will be the uniform fea-
lures OF the local observances through
out the country. Nearly all schools
will elaborate the official program in
various ways, and doubtless some very
unique ideas will be brought out.

NO QUORUM IN CONGRESS.
Statesmen Too Much Interested In Poll
tics to Attend to business


tics to Attend to Business.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The silver
question came up in the senate this
afternoon while the calendar was I'M
der consideration in connection with
bill to regulate the manner IN
which property should be sold under
orders and DEGREES of the United States
courts, Mr.. Teller offering an amend
ment requiring legal tender money to
received in satisfaction of judgments.
Mr.. Sherman held that that would
involve a violation Of specific con-
tracts requiring gold payments and OBJ
iected TO the consideration of the bill,
but Mr.. Morgan moved to proceed with
its consideration. The yeas and nays
were called, resulting: Yeas,25 nays, ~
no quorum, and a call was ordered.
Mr.. Hill and the new senator, Mr..
Hunton of Virginia, voted in the af-
frmative. The call showed the impos-
sibility of securing quorum without
breaking pairs, so the bill was by con-
sent passed over with prejudice.
The interest in the fast approaching
national conventions has a very damp
ening effect upon the business of the
house. The attendance this morning
was small, the attention listless and
few private bills were passed with
out opposition. The census Investigate
ing committee obtained leave to sit dur
ing the sessions, and on motion of Mr.
Washington of Tennessee, a resolution
was adopted calling on the Secretary
of the Interior for information as to
whether lands in the Indian territory
and Oklahoma were occupied by cor
porations for grazing purposes.

Fnnr nnYs, Fighting LIkely.

TAMPA, Fla, June 1.-The Demo-
cratic convention, which met to-day,
will probably be in session four days,
as it will have the hottest fight in the
political history of Florida to settle.
The two greatest contests are over the
gubernatorial nomination and the seat
ing of one or the other of the two
contesting delegations from Duvall
county, as the victory of one or the
other means the nomination or defeat
of Judge Mitchell, who is in the lead
for governor.

This estimate does not include stag

A conservative estimate Of tho

The river is still rising, and while it
has not yet done any new damage of
