At ST. PETERSBURG.

Two Cases of Cholera Reported-Ragins
Along tho volga.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 1.-TWO cases
of cholera have been reported here. 1t
Is reported that Asiatic cholera prevails
along the whole course Of the river
Volga, and also at Kybinsk, Tatbow and
Oreal. At meeting of the government
ministers it was resolved to elaborate a
general plan to cope with the cholera
epidemic, and among other things it
was decided to issue minute instructions
to local officials as to how best to COM
bat the disease.

THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.

The near approach Of the date for
the second district congressional con-
vention is beginning to have its effect
upon the fortunes of the various Re-
publican candidates. 1t has been
confidently believed for several weeks
that Blue Earth county's candidate
Prof. McCleary- in the lead,
and this belief is taking on some
thing of assurance as reports from
the various counties in the district
come in. Lac Qui Parle county was
the first to break away from the
claims of Mr.. Turrell and give Mr..
McCleary good majority. Informal
tlon reaches US that at the primaries
in Granite Falls Saturday night, a
solid McCleary delegation was elected
to the Yellow Medicine county con-
Vention, and it is asserted with con
tidence by the McCleary supporters
there that that county will send a
delegation favorable to his candidacy.
1t is believed also that Lincoln county
will be for the Mankato man. These
counties lying contiguous to Redwood
county-Mr. Turrell'S homeland
having all along been strenuously
claimed for him, will make him far
weaker before the convention than
was expected in the earlier stages of
the campaign and render Mr.. Nc
Cleary's chances for success relatively
brighter.
The fact is, McCleary has the pole
by good lead. There are the best of
reasons for believing, at this time,
that his nomination is practically as
sured. He has made winning cam
paign. He has treated his opponents
with the utmost courtesy and in re-
turn he has received only courtesy
from his competitors.
The delegates chosen from this
county to the congressional conven.
tlon should be selected with especial
reference to their ability to aid Mr..
McCleary with the delegates from
outside. They should be men of &C
qualntance and influence and some at
least should be thoroughly well in
formed upon parliamentary matters,
SO that no vantage ground will be lost
tnrough sharp convention tactics.

tilt during the debate on the bill, Mr..
McMillin citing the Homestead affair to
prove that the Mckinley bill had no
beneficial effect on the condition of
labor, while Mr.. Dalzell excitedly de-
MED Mr.. McMillin's allegations. There

The FIGHTING GROUND.
The Battle Has Already Been
Opened by Democrats
of Illinois.
.Briee Will No Longer Preside Oyer the
National Comm ittee.
Although Not Member, Mr.. Whitney
May BE Made Chairman.

CHICAGO, Jnne 2S.-The fight will
be made to carry Illinois for the Dem.
ocratic National ticket.
Already the movement is on foot,
and from this time on, in quiet way
until the campaign opens up, and in
vigorous way after that, mighty ef-
fort will be made. The matter has
been fullv presented to the members
of the National committee and the
preliminary work will be set on foot at
once.
The first question to decide upon the
part OF the present National Com
mittee is as to chairman. Senator
Brice will no longer occupy that posi-
tion. The duties are arduous and he
is willing tnat some other prominent
member shall take his place.
If possible, w. g. Whitney will be.
come Chairman. He is not a memA
ber of the body. Lieutenant-Gover.
nor Sheean representing New York.
Mr.. Sheean was elected as a trib-
ute to Ed Murphy, but before leaving
here some of the members of the New
York delegation were discussing
plan to have Mr.. Sheean retire, not
that they had weakened on him, but
the turn affairs had taken seemed to
them to suggest this, the idea being to
make room for Whitney.
This seems to be asking great
deal, however, and Mr.. Whitney will,
no doubt, be selected as the Chairman
of the Executive Committee, having
in charge the real work of Mr.. Cleve-
lands campaign.
AT an Informal meeting OF the Ma
tional Committee last night no action
was taken as TO the Craftsmanship.
The candidates at the head of the
ticket, Republican or Democratic, is
always given an opportunity Of indi-
eating his choice in this respect, gen.
orally through some friend, and no
doubt the same course will be pursued
now. Mr.. Whitney left for New
York at noon today on the private car
Pilgrim. With him were Francis
stetson, Cleveland's old law partner
Don Dickinson and Villas, the latter a
delighted trio.
j Mr.. Whitney carried with him one
telegram of the many congratulating
him on his achievements as polite.
al manager. These kilograms poured
in to him4 without number. One he
: prizes above all. That was from his
little daughter, Dorothy to whom Mrs
t Cleveland gave her old.fashionded but
good name. The telegram read
"HURRAH FOR PAPA"
and while others were appriated herr
, , touched that spot none other could.

BERLIN, June 29.-The papers here
will have little to say on the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. The editor Of
the Post, Vossiche Zeitung, Borsen
Courier, Tageblatt and other papers
said to-day that they had written so
much in favor of Mr.. Cleveland that
nothing remained to be said. They
all extoleed Mr.. Cleveland's honesty
and hope that his election would cause
the to repeal of the McKinley Tariff law
The National Zeitung tonight will
say ;-"Mr. Cleveland's strength lies
not only in the official record, but in
his popularity, which is sustained by
his personal probity. straightforward
ness and manliness. His nomination
especially after he becomes reconciled
with Senator Hill, will evoke the full

ROPE IS NO CURE.
Another Attempted Outrage Reported
From ROgersvllle.

RoGERsvILLE, Tenn, June 29.-Jes-
Sc Wolfe, colored boy aged 16 years,
made a bold attempt to rape little An
ME Lawson, white girl, nine years
old, living in New Town, a suburb OF
Rogersville, today.
About noon the little girl was attend
ing to some duties out in the garden,
when this hellish fend came to the
lower side Of the garden, and telling
her that lady wished to see her
across the way, and by so doing led
the innocent little girl to where he at
tempted the awful crime, at the low
er side of the garden in a thick patch
of woods.
Cries from her brought friends to
her relief and the negro fled, but was
captured soon afterwards by Police
man McCarty and brought before Es-
quirosP Piper and Powell for trial, which
resulted in his being bound over to
court under bond of five thousand
dollars, which failing to give, he was
sent to Jail.
The feelings Of the people are very
strong against Wolfe, and it is feared
he will be lyncAed tonight. Wolfe is
black, burly negro boy, and is very
much despised by both white and col
ored people, and is considered very
tough character.

Jersey Delaware and Indiana, Cleve-
land would have 226 votes, or 8 more
than are necessary.
Losing New York and two Southern
States, say South Carolina and West
Virginia, Cleveland would have to get
50 votes in the North--say from Indi-
ana, Connecticut. New Jersey, Dele
ware and Illinois, 5 from Michigan
and California, or Minnesota or per-
haps Iowa.
Losing North Carolina and West
Virginia, or the two Vhginias, he
would need "a or S5 Northern votes.
To get them he would have to- carry,
say Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Delaware, illinois, Wisconsin, Mich.
gan (5) and Iowa, or California and
New Hampshire.
The loss OF even one OF the South
ern States mentioned would make the
election uncomfortably close for Cleve-
land, if it did not defeat him.
Harrison is in much the same situa-
ton, Should he lose the close silver
and Alliance States of Colorado, Ida
no, Montana, Nebraska, NeS ,da and
the two Dakotas, in consequence OF
strong opposition from the Peoples
party, he will lack 81 votes of the re-
quisite 223. To get them he must
carry some one of the following lists
of States New York, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Connecticut and Z Congressional
districts in Michigan or Illinois, Indi-
ana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin,
Connecticut and 7 Michigan districts
and get 10 electoral votes from the
South. If, in addition to the silver
and Alliance States mentioned he
should lose Kansas and Iowa, he will
have to carry New York and get L
Southern voter in order to win, in ad
dition to Illinois, Indiara, New Hamp
shire, Wisconsin, Connecticut anC
the 7 Michigan districts.
The loss OF any electoral votes wes
Of the Missouri line would in all prob
ability prove fatal to Harrison, for tC
offset it he would have to carry States
farther east, where the chances are
against him.
On the whole the probable comb
nation favor the Democratic ticket.
