Iowa Democratic Platform.

The Iowa democratic convention adopted
platform which endorses the administra-
ton of Governor Boies; declares confidence
in the administration of Grover Cleveland
contends that the present deplorable condi-
ton of the country is due to the last republi-
can administration, the Mckinley tariff and
the Sherman law, the fostering of trusts and
class legislation in favor of the rich; re1ter-
ates devotion to the cause of tariff reform ;
denounces the Sherman act and demands
its immediate repeal; holds to the use of
both gold and silver as the standard money
of the country and the coinage of both gold
and silver without discrimination, but the
dollar unit of coinage of both metals must
be of equal intrinsic exchangeable value, to
be adjusted through international agreement
or by such safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity of the
two metals; favors just and liberal pensions
to deserving veterans, and urges the names
of all fraudulent and illegal pensioners to
be eliminated from the rolls; demands the
passage of carefully guarded local license
laws; urges equal taxation and deals with
all the state issues.

The Presidant,s Health.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 25.-There has
been for some time great deal of talk here
about the presidents condition, the papers
having much to say. A physician has been
quoted as declaring that Mr.. Cleveland has
Bright's disease, and no end of comment has
ensued.
Private Secretary Thurber says there is no
foundation for such reports.
when the president left Washington" he
said, lit was under the advise of those who
take great personal interest in his welfare"
Mr.. Thurber added: The rest the presi-
dent needs is simply what any man, how
ever vigorous, must require when overworked.
Mr.. Thurber received a letter from the pres
ident in which he said he was rapidly gain
ing vigor.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who has just
returned from a visit to the president at
Buzzard's Bay, told a reporter he looked
very we'll and indeed gave no indication Of
being ill.
Secretary Lamont, who also was recently
in the presidents society said: 1.-THE stories
are baseless. The president is as sound as
any one, but like everybody else, he needs
rest occasionally. His physicians have said
he has no organic trouble of any kind"

Aliens Fight the Police.

A short but bloody riot occurred in Chi
cago, on Washington street, in front of the
city hall. Police officers and the parading
unemployed men come together, and clubs
and bricks were used.
Two policemen were injured and also two
with unpronounceable names.
Hundreds of unemployed men met on the,
lake at the Lake Front park, and after listen
ing to the speeches formed in line to parade
the streets. At the corner of Washington
and Clark streets the line Of march became
confused and there was a general mix-up,
which completely blockaded travel.
The driver OF United States mail wagon
was anxious to reach train, but could not
get through the crowd. Inspector Ross, with
n couple of policemen, cleared q passage for
the wagon! The buggy of j. Il. Martindale-
stood at the curb. The crowd told Martin
dale to get out, to which he replied, Il only
wish could" The crowd seized the buggy
and turned it over. Inspector Ross ordered
his men to move it back.
After reinforcements arrived the police
got the better of the mob and forced it back
after a lively struggle in which clubs, stones,
ana revolver handles were used on both
sides.
After the men dispersed at the city hall,
they gathered again at the lake front, where
several speeches were made.
About o'clock, Mayor Harrison arrived
on the scene and addressed the men. He
told them they would gain nothing by riot
Gus disturbances, and advised them to go
home and bear their temporary misfortunes
like men. The crowd cheered the mayor
and dispersed.

The Regulations are Imperative.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August &c The
attention of Commissioner Lamereux, of
the general land Office, was called to the
telegram from Guthrie, Oklahoma, to the
effect that settlers were being advised to
disregard Secretary Hoke Smiths require
ment, that any intending settler on the
Cherokee outlet shall, previous to the day of
the opening, sign declaration that he is a
qualified-to-enter man, etc. The commits
sioner said: IF any person enters before
the date fixed, he forfeits his right"
Another provision is that in order to be-
come an entryman or to be entitled to enter
the lands he must file a declaration with the
booth officers and receive his certificate from
them. If there is a violation of either of
these provisions all right is forfeited. AS
the president has, under the above act, full
power to make all regulations in reference
to entering or occupying the lands, any per-
son violating either of them will be treated
by this department as having no right"

BE WARNED.
Soldiers Rights and Chances
Are Unchanged.
Tried to Get Oklahoma Claims Through
Agen's And Failed-Read the On
cial Orders and Proclamation
for Yourself,

The last general order from Commander
Bernard Kelly has this section:
1.-THE comrades of this department are
warned not to pay money to any persons OF
associations who claim to have special priv
ileges for soldiers in the opening of the strip.
Those persons who are making this claim
can do you no good, and every dollar paid
to them will be thrown away. They are OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses, and
are thus pe-petrating a fraud upon every
soldier from whom they take money"
The presidents proclamation deals with
the subject as follows:
Soldiers declaratory statements can only
be made by the parties entitled, or by their
agents in person, and will not be received if
sent by mail. A party acting as agent and
appearing in line, as contemplated under the
eleventh paragraph. will be allowed to make
one entry or filing in his individual charac.
ter, if he SO desires, and to file one declara-
tory statement in his representative charac-
ter as agent, if such he shall be, and there
upon he will be required to step out of line,
giving place to the next person in order,
and, if he desires to make another filing, to
take his place at the end of the line and
await his proper turn before doing SO, and
thus to proceed IN order until all the filings
desired by him shall be made"

Another Life Sacrificed.

P1rTsBURG, KAN, August 26.-Another life
has been lost as the result of the Kansas coal
miners strike. Thomas II. Betson, white
striking miner, was shot and killed during
an encounter with negro miners.
After supper twenty negroes left the stock
ade of the Kansas and Texas company, near
Litchfeld, and went to town in body to
, ping supplies. Iney were leerea at oy the
When they left the store they found a big
crowd gathered, who informed them that
they should not return to the stockade.
The negroes started for the mine, when the
strikers attacked them with missiles and
finally began firing into them.
The negroes returned the fire and Tom
Betson, striker, fell dead, shot through the
heart.
The strikers fled and the negroes returned
to the stockade. The strikers at once began
gathering recruits, with the intention of at
tacking the stockades.

ITALY---FRANCE.
Troubles Between French and
Italian Workmen.
Riots Against Frenchmen General in Ital

Made to Burn the French Em-
bassy-Troops Required.

RoME, August 23.-The troubles growing
out of the fighting between French and 1tal-
ian workmen employed at the salt works at
Aigues Mortes, France, threaten to involve
grave International complications. 1t is not
in Rome alone that the popular indignation
exists
Riots directed against Frenchmen have
occurred in many of the provincial towns
and the situation is considered exceedingly
grave. The most serious outbreak of popu-
lar feeling against the French occurred in
this city, when hooting mob attempted to
burn the French embassy. Some of the
rioters carried cans of petroleum and did
not hesitate TO openly declare that it was
their intention to use it in destroying the
embassy.
The rioters attempted TO carry out their
threats to burn the embassy, notwithstand-
ing the presence of troops to protectit. They
were ordered to disperse. but refused to do
so. whereupon the soldiers charged upon
them. The mob held their ground for
time, and fought stubbornly. It was NOT
until several charges upon them were made
that they began to retreat, fighting all the
time. Forty-f rioters were arrested. Many
of the mob who were at the forefront of the
fighting were wounded by the sabres that the
soldiers used unsparingly. Rioting in the
provincial towns was only quelled by the use

GUTHRIE, o. T., July 26.-The sole topic
of conversation here is the Cherokee strip
and the proclamation declaring il open.
Nothing the administration has done in the
whole matter of preparing for the strip
opening meets with such general condemna-
ton as the location of booths and the regu-
iation compelling all intending settlers to
register and qualify there before entering
the land. The crowd will be SO great that
many OF those who intend to register will be
compelled to stand in line for several DAYS,
and to be sure of getting registered man
must be on the line five or six DAYS before
the opening, thus entailing an expense of $25
or $50, when, were it not for this registering
ne could come on the train the day before or
even on the morning of the opening, and
save this extra expense.
While it is claimed that the registration
system will defeat the sooners, it will, in fact,
help them, for sooner can register several
days before the opening, and then enter the
land and hide on or near a good claim, and
when he appears at the land Office his regis
tration certificate will be evidence that he is
all right.
Hundreds of old time spectators have al
ready arranged for the buying and selling of
these certificates in a wholesale manner.
There is nothing to prevent man who is
qualified. but does not wish to 90 in, from
sending his certificate to another. Impecu-
NOUS boomers, of whom there are thousands,
will also secure many a dollar by lining up
In front of the booths repeatedly and selling
out their places to those anxious to register.

BREIDENTHAL.
The Kansas Bank Commits
sioner's Circular.
He VIII NO Longer Consider an Part Of
Bank Reserves Balances Due Banks
In New York - This Rings
Or New York.

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal has issued
a circular, printed below, to state and pri-
vate banks in Kansas:
ITO the Cashiers of all State and Private Banks
In Kansas:
'DEAR SR:-I desire to call your attention
to the fact that the banks of New York city
are refusing, and do absolutely refuse, to
pay drafts made upon them except through
the New York clearing house, and have to
my certain knowledge refused requests for
payment of amount due Kansas banks ex-
cept in their own certificates of deposit,
which are made payable through the said
clearing house, and not in lawful money.
And further, that they have given instruc-
tons to make all drafts on them payable
through the said clearing house. This action
on the part of such banks would indicate
that they are insolveut. The United States
supreme court declares insolvency to be ina
bility to meet obligations IN the usual or Or
binary course of business, which, applied to
bank, means inability to pay all demands
that are made upon them, not IN clearing
house certificates, but in cash-lawful money.
Section ID of the Kansas banking law pro-
vides that each bank shall at all times have
on hand 20 per cent. of its deposits. one-half
of which may consist of balances due to it
from good, solvent banks
I'm view of these facts, balances due from
New York city banks in excess of per cent.
of your deposits, will not be considered as
part of your legal reserve until such banks
shall again resume payment in lawful money
of the United States.
'The 2 per cent. referred to is permitted
for the purpose of enabling you to supply
your local demand for New York exchanOe
'Please furnish me the name of your New
York correspondent; and statement of the
amount you have en- deposit there. Also,
advise me whether you are indebted to any
New York bank, and, if so, state the amount
of such Indebtedness. Very truly yours,
JOHN w. PRUDENTIAL,
Bank Commissioner"

A Sensation in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August PA resolu-
ton offered by Senator PETER, as to the vio-
lation of the law by national banks in de-
Ginning to pay depositors checks in currency,
was taken up and a motion to refer it to the
committee on finance, (made by Senator
Hoar,) gave rise to long and excited dis
cussion, in which many senators engaged.
German pointed out that the adoption of
the resolution would be a notice to the
comptroller of currency, who would imme-
diately proceed to enforce and thereby ne
cessiate the closing of the banks and cause
utter ruin of the country.
After much debate the resolution went to
the foot of the calendar where it can be
reached only by an affirmative majority
vote.

PursBURG. KAN, August 29.-There -
portentous calm in the mines, although
many knots of mipers may be seen
earnestly discussing the strike situation
One of the prominent miners said in con-
versation that the strikers were arming and
he feared there would be more trouble and
bloodshed. Just what the trouble would oe
he would not divulge, but be significantly
remarked: This matter will be settled
soon we are not going to stand everything.
For several days and nights there has been
a decided activity among the strikers, efforts.
being made on their part to prevent the
miners from signing what they term IRON
clad contracts.
Every day and hight committees may be
seen going to outlying camps to influence
the men in this direction, but 1t Is lmpossl-
BILE to get these committees to talk when
they return. 1t 10 evident that they feel
very sore over so many men going to work
and they openly announce their anger at the
trouble with the colored miners, both at
Litchfield and Weir City. A very ugly feel
ing exists on their part toward all who have
opposed them in the strike.
Alright meeting was held near Yale which
was addressed by President Walters and Il.
B. McGregor, of the Miners Echo. Their adj
vice to the audience was to hold out for 90
cents per ton the year round or the Devhn
proposition. While the strikers seem will
ing to work on a similar proposition to Mr..
Devlin's they object to the price offered by
the other companles-50 and Sc cents.
The Weir Coal company and Missouri Pa
cific have become tired of waiting for their
men to 60 to work and have about concluded
to build stockades around their mines at
Kirkwood, Yale and Fleming and import
colored labor from Alabama. There are yet
enough mines idle to employ all the white
miners in the district, but if these import
colored miners it will necessitate their going
elsewhere for work.

A Fortnight More of Talk.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. August 29.-The
senate will 60 straight along talking silver,
as it has been doing for several days. 1t will
DO this for two weeks, and probably longer
before a final vote will be taken. The bill
which will be passed will be Voorhees, bill,
not the Wilson bill from the house, which
will slumber soundly in the room of the.
finance committee. Then Voorhees, bill will
90 over to the house.
There it will doubtless be acted on with
little delay, though there may be another
food of oratory, because as there is some
difference between senate and house meas
ures, silver men may insist on some more
talk If there is a prospect for a contest,
however, cloture will be speedily applied
and the bill will be passed and will then be,
ready for the presidents signature.
Voorhees, bill only differs from the wilson
bill in making a declaration in favor of BIZ

To Close the Car shops.

Topeka, August A.-General Manager j.
j. Frey states that the Santa Fe car shops,
which includes the painters, carpenters and
upholsterers, will be closed temporarily CON-
mencing on the LIST of September.
Mr.. Frey says: 1.-The company has not
contemplated shutting down the shops here.
That would be done only as last resort. OF
course there is no telling what may happen.
We may have to do that, but We do not ex-
pect it.
The rumor that we were probably started
from the fact that we have found it neces-
ally reducing the force there until there will
be nobody left. 1 understand about fifty
men were discharged there Saturday night"
