SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 2.-Home
Flnlay. formerly a well-known citizen
OF San Antonio, but who for the past
SIX years has been engaged in the mer-
camille business in the city of Morlia.
Mexico. arrived here today and gave a
vivid account of the famine riot which
occurred in that city last Sunday, and
of which but very brief mention was
made in the City of Mexico dispatches.
lie stated that it was one of the most
exciting aud pitiable scenes ever wit
messed i'll that part of the republic, and
that another serious outbreak of the
same kind is threatened 1T any time.
Morlia is the capital state of Michoa-
can, and residence of the archbishop Of
the diocese. Its one of the most beau
tliul cities i'll Southern Mexico, but,
Notwithstanding all OF its attractions.
It's several thousand people are on the
verge OF starvation, owing to the total
failure OF the crops for the four seasons
and scarcity or al. other food sup
plies.
when the famine was threatened
several months ago." said Mr.. Finlay,
several of the wealthy merchants of
MOrlia contracted for large quantities
OF corn, the corn shipments amounting
to $4,000 bushels, which IS enough to
nave supplied the suffering peo-
pie. These spectators, however,
put up the prices and extorted what
little money the poor people had in
short time. For the past two months
the suffering among the poor has been
intense, and many deaths from starya-
ton have occurred. The streets became
thronged with beggars, and the hungry
men, women and children made heart,
rendlng appeals for help.
This was kept up until last Sunday
night, when the starving poor organized
themselves into mob and, driven by
desperation, began concerted attack
upon the food stores of the city. There
were fully 5000 people in the mob,
and the police were utterly powerless
to stop its progress. One maiceria or
feedSt0re after another was entered.
and as but little corn was found the
frenzy of the poor increased. The two
regim snts of federal cavalry and one of
Infantry stationed at Morlia were called
out to quell the riot, but their appear
ance only added to the desperation of
the starving people. The commander
planted the soldiers in front of the mob,
but they fought their way through.
Several persons were injured. Gen.
Wermicade, the governor of the state,
by this time had made his APP
pearance and came near falling
victim to the ven seance of the mob,
who claimed that he should have taken
steps to relieve their suffering. The
soldiers opened fire upon the people
and one man was killed and several
wounded. Acting on command of its
leader. the mob started for the gran
aries of Joseph Martinez i'll which 5000
bushels of corn were stored. They
broke down the doors and supplied
themselves with all each could carry
away. AS their temporary wants had
been supplied the mob Quietly dis
persed. | left Morlia on tie following
morning, and will remain away until

THE CASE OF vERHoEFF..

Lieut.. PEARY's arctic expedition
may be accounted the most successful
one on record-at least i'll its mortality
list. Only one man is missing on the
return OF the VOyagers-yOung YER
HoEFF, of Tennessee. More ado is be-
Ing made over this one victim, how
ever, than was made over any dozen
who went before him to the frozen
North and, like him, came not back.
The circumstances which make YER
HoEFF'S case 50 conspicuous and sensa-
tlonal are familiar to the GLOBES
readers. The young man, we'll armed
and provisoned, left his comrades for
a little private excursion of his own,
and never came back. A week was
spent in search Of hlm-only one short
week-and then the party sailed home
without him. There would seem to be
some occasion for the indignation of the
young mans relatives that longer
search was not made. The chances are
against VERHoEFF's being alive. but the
sad assurance OF his death should
have been made dOubly sure before the
return of the expedition. A mere
weeks waiting and searching could not
accomplish this. Picture the 'nan'shor-
ror should he have returned to the camp
and found his comrades gone without
him. In some quarters it is asserted
that VERHOEFF deliberately planned
and contriyed to be left behind. but
this theory is prepoSterous. No craze
for adventure could lead man to the
length of desiring to be left alone, hope
lessly, horribly. irrevocably alone, in
the frozen wastes of the North, whence,
unaided, he could never escape, and
where no vessel may touch again in
fifty years.
If VERHoEFF be alive, God pity him.
1t would be almost comfort to know
certainly that he is dead and beyond
the reach of Suffarinp

Olmsted Is All Right.

Rochester Record and Union.
A herculean effort will be made this
fall to elect two Republican represen-
tativeS from Olmsted county. Already
Cush Davis has had his emissaries in
Rochester seeing to it that no effort is
spared to accomplish this end. But it
will take vast amount of work to pull
his men through. The people realize
that every vote cast for the Republican
nominees for the legislature means a
vote in favor of higher taxes, restrict
ed ballot, wheat combines, and other
nefarious offshoots of the Republican
administration. And they will no longer
support such policy and institutions.
They have been long time coming to
this conclusion, but their minds are
now made up and no Republican repre-
sentatives will 20 from Olmsted

that he did not think SO. The GLOBE
does not by this lay itself open to the
charge Of inconsistency or. fickleness.
1t is for Capt HORTON this morning just

that the Seventh ward is not alive to its

former Philadelphia newspaper man, in
which he was joined by hotelkeeper
named Freitas, of Rio Janeiro, has been
brought to light. The company is
owned solely by A. 0. Granger,
the president, and ex-senator Joseph

formed the South American Welsbach
Incandescent Light company, and sent
young Palmer to Rio to boom The i'll

ent rights for $4,000 in gold. and upon
PaImer'S return he reported the sale as
having been made for $50, 900, of which
$1,000 was expended in his salary ex-
penSeS and commission. The theft was
not learned until two other men were
sent to Brazil on second mission, al
though reports had reached the ears of
the company. Palmer was sent to ne
gotiate securities of one of Senator
GaZzam's iron companies, and upon
demanding higher commission was
dismissed. Palmer cannot be returned
from England. but action is being taken
to recover sums which he expended in

SHOUTING WITH THE VOX
POPULT

If the Republicans of the Seventh
ward were wise after their generation.
they would name neither Capt. HACK
FIT nor Capt. HORTON to be their can
didate for the legislature. This is not
because either of these gentlemen would
not fill the place with credit to himself
and the city. 1t is because LANE K.
STONE lives in the district. Him they
ought to nominate and force to make the
race, whether he wants to or not. At
the last session Mr.. STONE was by all
odds the most influential member of the
lower house. and this winter he would
bring to his duties the experience
gained in it and his previous terms of
service. Should the Republicans have
q majority. he would no doubt be made

SEEKING THE REMEDY,

Ii the subject were not so serious and
of such vital significance to the North
west, it would be funnier than min
strel show to watch the capers and an
ties Of the Republican press of Mime
sofa in its efforts to dodge the wheat
steal charges. OF the various ''eXplana-
tons" and "refutations'' advanced, the
most unique and original is that fer
which the editorial genius of the Glen
coe Register avOws responsibility. 1t
is as follows:
BAKER. of the GLOBE, chairman of the
Democratic state committee. is making pub
lie an alleged exposure of the wheat ring of
the Northwest, and through PILLsBURY and
WAsHBURN, the leaders. is attempting to
make the Republican party party to it. He
Will not succeed in this. but there is no doubt
that ring exists in the Northwest made up
of the elevator men and railroads and no
one can purchase wheat but those in the
ring. Farmers must sell to them there are
no others to sell to, and with the assistance
of the Chicago board of trade, they give what
price they please. This is giant combine
and conspiracy reaching into all parts of the
West. having every farmer by the throat, so
to speak, and it is SO powerful and extensive
that, struggle as they WILL they are in their
power and cannot easily escape. We can
see no escape except by the antioption bill,
and we are afraid that will help them but
little.
And so the only escape from the ele-
vator combine is through the anticipation
bill prepared and sponsored by the
heads of the combine. The only relief
from these conSpirators who defraud
the farmer, with the assistance of the
Chicago board of trade" is to join in
with them in abolishing the board of
trade and thereby reducing the number
of thieves among whom the plumber
must be divided.
The passage of the anti-option bill
would leave the elevator combine in
clear possession of tie field and all the
booty. If it weren't so, would Messrs.
WAsHBURN and PILLsBURY be pushing
the bill? And yet Republican organ
insults the intelligence of its readers by
pointing to the anticipation bill as the
medium of escape from the elevator
ring.
But far be it from the GLOBES pur-
pose to oppose the anti-option bill. On
the contrary, every encouragement
should be offered rogues to fall out.
Let the elevator combine throttle with
its anti-option bill the gamblers COM
bine, and meanwhile let the voters of
Minnesota bury the elevator combine
under their ballots. Then, and not till
then, will the farmer have a fair mar
ket, free market and an open market
for his wheat.
