gypsum City Advocate: A good deal
Of the corn in this district is showed in
and under, in the fields.
Near Ports Frank and George Smith
in the past two years, have raised over
$4,000 bushels of wheat. and have
$4,000 bushels on hand. Their wheat
this year threshed out twenty.nine
bushels an acre. They sowed this fall
a little over 200 acres.
A Ford City firm, Hatfield & Smith,
for an experiment leased quarter Sec
ton of raw prairie land near Ford City,
agreeing to break it out for the use OF
it for three crops. They paid $1.5O pei
acre for breaking and planted a part OF
the sod in corn just after the plow,
which required no cultivation and fully
paid the expenses Of breaking last year.
This year they harvested over 5000
bushels Of small grain, selling $500
bushels of wheat on the track near by
at SIS cents per bushel, and now have an
encouraging prospect for 16O acres Of
wheat next harvest.

They See Flaws in the Law.
At tho convention Of county attorneys held
in Topeka last week several Of them advo-
Gated law giving the probate judges and
Justices of the peace limited power to act In
enforcing the prohibitory law. By the pres
ent Law. tho responsibility and authority de.
wolves almost entirely on the county attor-
neys, and q provision for the lessening of
their duties in the matter would meet with
their approval.
The association recommended the repeal
of the law which confers upon the county
attorney the power to subpoena witnesses
before him and inquire into violations Of
the prohibitory Law, and in its stead indorsed
the enactment of law conferring like power
on the probate Judge and two justices of the
peace of each county.
Changes in other laws were recommended.
Il was advised that the maximum fine for
setting up and keeping a gambling devise
bo reduced to $500, 80 as to give justices of
the peace jurisdiction of the offense. An
entire revision of the laws relating to gamb-
ling was recommended, and it was advised
that Q law DO enacted prohibiting the sale of
policy and lottery tickets. Another law
which the attorneys wish to enact, provides
that jurors shall be drawn by the sheriff and
district clerk.

SchemIng Monarchists.

LONDON, January 3.-The Orleanists have
by no means abandoned the hope of re-
gaining the throne of France through re-
vulsion in republican sentiment caused by the
revelations in the Panama affair. The
Count of Paris has telegraphed to his son,
the Duke of Orleans, who ID now travelling
in Indo- China, to hasten his return in order
that he may take part in the deliberations of
the Orleans party.
In English circles it is believed that there u
no chance for the machinatl of the France
Royalists and lmperialists to prove success
full. 1t is thought the Fren h government,
BY pursuing those implicated in the Pans
ma scandal to punishment, will establish the
republic on sounder foundations than before
and will render such an evil as the Panama
affair hereafter impossible.

Cimarron New West: Owing to the
bad weather the steel-laying gangs,
numbering over a hundred men, have
been discharged and the men returned

CINCINNATI, o., January a-The fruits of
the Smith heresy case are beginning to be

immigration and Cholera.

WASHINGTON. d. c., January a.-The COM
mittee on immigration has returned from
New York, after making a careful examina-
ton of the preparations which has been
made in New York and vicinity to repel the
cholera. Senator Chandler said: 'sWith
what Is to be done in the next month or two
it appears nothing will remain to be accom-
pllshed in the way of the preparation to
keep out or treat the cholera. But l want
to say, nevertheless. that with cholera now
existing in France and in Hamburg, shall
urge the immediate Promnlgation BY the
and warn all the state and city authorities
to get ready for cholera. l believe safety
can be found only in the suspension of i'm
migration and the stoppase of steerage
transportation. When all possible prepara-
tions otherwise have been made, they should
be supplemented by the passage of a suspen-
sion act.o

New YORK, January 2.-R. G. Dun l. Coz
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The most. prosperous year ever known in
business closes with sr,onaly favorable indi-
cations for the future. From nearly all
points comes ths report that the holiday
trade has been the largest ever known, and
while the Wholesale trade il not usually &C
tive at this season of stock taking, it is nov
remarkably large. The settlements through
the clearing house outside of New York in
December was apparently the largest ever
made in any month, exceeding the last years
by more than 10 per cent For the year the
volume is aleo about 10 per cent. larger than
asst year. and the largest ever known. The
railroad earnings in December show an in
crease of about 3 per cent. over last year,
and the years increase 10 about SIS per cent.
Foreign trade has been smaller than last
year in volume of exports at New York: ST.
800, 900 in value for the past four weeks, and
in cotton ports about $40. 0O0. 600 less, but
the imports at New York have been $780,
OOO larger and still shows an eXcess of ex-
ports. For the year the excess of merchan-
disc exports has been not far from sc. O00,-
600, with the largest imports and the largest
total exports and imports ever known in any
year. The year closes with all wooden, cet-
ton and silk machinery fully employed, and
unsold stocks of gods are much lighter
than usual. while the demand 70. tho com.
ing season already exceeds the capacity of
many mills. The orders in dry goods are
extraordinary. The sales of wool at the
chief markets have been 3O9, ,O00, 600 pounds,
against A6, 900 600 last year, and foreign
imports have been the largest ever known,
with the domestic supply slightly behind the
largest. The shipments of boots and shoes
from the eest have been 8 per cent. larger
then last year and nearly per ceLt. larger
than in any previous year, wlii:e the increase
in ton years has been over so per cent. Tho
iron trade 10 in weaker demand for finished
products. being at present light. But steel
rails have been reduced to $29 per ton and
the sale Of 1900 tons followed. This great
industry has been much affected by tho
markets for securities, which has been de-
pressed for some months by foreign selling
and monetary uncertainties, SO that the
companies have been restricted in changes
of rates and supplies. But for the past week
stocks have been stronger, gaining about 81
per share in average price. Speculation in
products have been comparatively inactive,
though wheat advanced by the western pool
nearly 2 cents. Cotton is strong. with di-
minished receipts. The year was remarka-
BILE for fewer failures than ever occurred in
any other year since 1865, the number being
debtedness of firms falling was but $1l4. co.,
600 in 1892, against $1S9, 100000 In 81 and
about the same in 1890. The average liabll-
tiles of the firms failing in 1892 has been only
$11, 600. the lowest average reported since
1873. In 1892 only one in overy lib traders
failed. against one in every SO in 1891 and
one in every lO2 in 1899.

Vest and Morgan,

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 4.-The fol-
lowing letter, written by Senator Vest. ap-
peared in Washington paper from St.
Louis. The firm earnestness of its tone
touching Indian Commissioner Morgan pro-
voked some interest here and brought what
follows As an interview with Commissioner
Morgan. Here is the letter:
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 6, 1892.
MI DEAR SIR-Yours OF December 5 with
enclosure has been received. 1t is impossi-
BILE to say anything in the way of removing
Rust or abollshing the agency under the ad-
entirely by the recommendation of Com
missioner Morgan, ar@ .dorgan ls a narrow.
minded bigot, who knows nothing about the
Indian, and whose chief idea seems to be
that all governmental powers should be used
to prevent their being made Catholics.
think General Noble is disposed to do right,
but he ID simply cabinet officer, and con-
trolled entirely by the president. will see
him, however, as to the matter at once.
G. G. VEST.
When seen in regard to the above Com
missioner Morgan said: II want to say that
! care nothing for Senator Vest. prefer
his condemnation to his approval. As to
removing Rust, it is not in my hands at all.
1t IS with Secretary Noble of the interior.
have nothing to do with it. The reason l
am called bigot is because opposed ted
eral appropriation tn carry on sectarian
schools among the Indians. When took
hold of my office found among the Indians
Presbyterian, Methodist. Congregational,
Episcopal and Catholic schools, which. while
controlled by these various churches entirely,
were wholly supported by the government.
The churches run them: the country paid
the bills. The extent of this is shown in the
yearly appropriation to the Catholic schools,
the largest appropriation.
1.-THE appropriation to the Catholic schools
alone during the past eight years has been
almost So, 4OO, ,OCO. The last year it has been
almost $3,5OO.OOO. They teach less than
5000 pupils. opposed all this. mention
the Catholic church not because it is Catholic,
but because it was as large in its appropria-
ton as all the rest, and for the further rea-
son that all the other denominations have
decided to accept no further government
aid. When opposed this federal patronage
of religion, Senator Vest came forward as
the champion of the Catholics. That is all
l know of his hatred to me.
''My official life is now nearly over. March
l shall resign and 60 to New York. l shall
be the corresponding secretary of the Ma
tional Baptist Home Missionary society.
The salary Is the same as l receive now, and
the labors quite as near to my heart a. my
present."

Fever In Mexico.

EAGLE Pass, Tx, January 4.-Recent ar
rivals from Mexico report that typhus fever is
epidemic in Aguas Calientes, Guanajuata
and Zacatecas, and there are Q numoer OF
cases in San Luis PostosL In Zacatecas and
Guanaiuata the epidemic is at 1t worst, more
than 500 cases being reported at present at
tho former placs. The mortality from the
disease, IL estimated at Is to 25 per cent OF

appear to have any immunity from the dis
ease, suffering equally with the poor. A
great many people have died, including

The Globe-republican., 1893-01-06

WASHINGTON, D. c., January x-The n.
cent conference between the president-elect
and Speaker Crisp was expected to result in
come authorized announcement on the sub
ject of IN extra session. While these ant,c.
ipations have not been realized, it is reported
that no final decision will be made on the
question of an extra session of congress un-
til February, by which time the cabinet Of
President-elect Cleveland will probably have
been selected, and that the probabilities arc
decidedly against an extra session before
next fall Mr.. Cleveland, it il stated, has
said to democratic leaders IN congress that
he will call congress together in special ses-
sion. He also told them, it il reported, that
it would not be convened before autumn
unless the financial situation and the condl-
ton of the treasury should make it abso.
lutely imperative that congress should meet
"A the spring to provide the government
with the necessary amount of revenue to
meet its expenses. He wished to avoid the
necessity of an early extraordinary session.
A conclusion that there will be an actual
deficit in the treasury unless additional rev.
enue is raised might induce Mr.. Cleveland,
it is thought, to alter his views with regard
to an extra session IN the spring. but no
other consideration that will bring about
such result 10 now foreseen.
By the end of this month the sub-commit-
tees investigation will either be concluded
or far enough in progress to permit the
democratic members to acquaint Mr.. Cleve-
land with the situation and their conclusion
- to the future.
The proposition to increase the whisky tax
would be an easy method of raising the ad-
ditional money and Mr.. Springer and his
associates will take it under advisement if
the result of their investigation discloses .
call for more revenue.

Kansas City Gazette: Hon. Jeremiah
Rusk, Of the department of agriculture.
has made about twenty-five appoint
ments of young ladies to the new micro
scopist department at tho Swift / Co.
packing house in the Sixth ward. The
appointments cover the states of Kansas
and Missouri, and found Just that many

Judge Reed, of the district court at
Wichita. handed down q decision on a
question raised for the first time in a
Kansas court. DR.. Ostley, a widower,
without children, made a will and after
ward married for the second time and
died without issue. The legatees, under
the will. claimed half the estate, but the
widow contended that subsequent mar
riage revoked the will, and that she was
entitled to the whole estate. Judge
Reed held that as the statutes of 1883
enabled husband or wife to dispose of
half their property without consent of
the other, there would be no sense in
setting aside this will, as the testator
could have made it as we'll after ss be-
fore marriage, and that the widow was
entitled to but the half of the estate
which the law gives her, and that the
other half belongs to the legatees.
Alexander Warner, of Baxter Springs,
Cherokee county, one of the members
elect of the legislature, was for fifteen
years immediately after the war resi-
dent of Mississippi. He was member
Of the legislature in that state several
years, and in 1875, the year tho shot
gun campaign was inaugurated, he was
chairman Of the republican state central
committee. Senator George, now United
States senator from Mississippi, was
chairman of the democratic state con-
trail committee. Colonel Warner after

years ago was serving as state treasurer
OF Connecticut. He has been financially
interested in the mining interests in
southeastern Kansas for several years,
and moved to Baxter Springs three

will be ono Of the leaders on the repub-
lican side Of the house this winter.
