grain company. which claims to be the
largest purchaser of grain from producers
in the world has failed. Announcement
was made on the board OF trade this morn
ing that the company was unable to

Officers here decline to make a statement
of assets and liabilities till authorized by
President Tompler, in charge of the office
Al Hutchinson. 1t is presumed how
ever that they viii be large. The COM
pany has elevators in over one hundred
towns in Kansas, all containing grain.
Tight money was the cause of the failure.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Hutchinson, Kan, says the suspension
was due to inability of the company to
extend paper in Kansas City, President

are fully sufficient to meet liabilities and
they will pay out dollar for dollar. Assets

STEAMSHIP DANUBE.
The State Department viii Not Interfere
in the Appeal Taken.

The State Department Will Not Interfere
in the Appeal Taken.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The state de-
partment will probably not interfere in
the case of the steamship Danube at Port
land, Or, where the captain appealed to
the British legation for relief from an
order of the court which required him to
bring $50 Chinese passengers before the
court to answer habeas corpus. The cap
tain was willing the Chinese should an
swer but feared to assume the heavy
responsibility of preventing the escape of
Cinnamon when once ashore.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, British ambas-
sador, was at the state department today
probably to present the case to Secretary
Gresham. 1t is believed at the depart
ment that there will be no difficulty in
complying technically with the order of
the court while avoiding possibility of
escape of the Chinese. This could be
done if the marshal served his writs on
board the vessel and left deputy aboard
in charge OF the Chinese until the court
passed upon the cases.

ANOTHER FAMOUS CASE.
Trial of Parties Accused of Banker
Mead's DEATH

Trial. of Parties Accused of Banker
1Iead's DEATH
MILWAUKEE,, June 3. - The famous
Banker Mead murder case will be called
for trial at Waupaca tomorrow. It is
cause celebre in Wisconsin criminal his
tory, and the contest to bring the muir
derers to justice has now been in progress
over two years. The theory of the case is
as follows:
The murdered banker, H. G. Mead,
was rather an eccentric character, and
was known to remain up until a late hour
at night in his bank working on his
books. Some one proposed that it would
be a good plan to give the old man
scare, and going to the bank the men
forced their way to Mr. Mead's private
room and demanded that he give up the
coin in the vaults. He recognized the
men, and instead OF taking the thing as
joke, prepared to defend himself, and
had he lived would undoubtedly have
prosecuted his asSailants for burglary.
Knowing they were trapped, the drunken
crowd, unmindful of The consequences.
resolved to cover up their lesser crime by
the greater one Of murder, and killed the
aged banker in his room.
1Uelb oOL1C VI Vic 1ucu uOW uuueI lQQlCl-
ment were the principals in that terrible
crime the prosecution claims that the evil
dence in their hands will prove, and they
claim to have an abundance of testimony
to substantiate the theory already out
lined. That the trial of the case will be
one of the greatesx ever known in Wis
consin, there is no doubt.
The legal talent on both sides is among
the best in the state. j. V. Quarles, who
will conduct the prosecution, is already
known as great criminal lawyer, his ar
raignment of Leonard Perrin being still
fresh in the memory of the people of Wis
consin. For the defense SUCH well known
attorneys as G. w. Felker of Oshkosh,
and the firm Of Cate, Jones & Sanborn Of
Stevens Point, will appear, while among
the other lawyers who will have a hand
in the trial are District Attorney Gold
berg OF Waupaca county, and Garrett
Thorne OF Clintonville.

GENERAL NEWS VIEWS.
&c says the Drain of Gold Is Caused by
Silver Purchases.

Silver Purchases.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-General John
c. New, late consul-general at London,
speaking in regard to the financial stu
alton. said today: stI have no knowl-
edge of the policy Of the administration,
but it ought to occur to anybody that the
gold stringency is due to the policy of
purchasing silver bullion and paying gold
for II, for issuing silver certificates
amounts to the payment direct OF gold for
silver The inevitable result of such pol
icy. if pursued, must be the placing of
the United States on a silver basis. In
Great Britain there is considerable unrest
in financial circles and a fuctnation in
prices of all kinds OF securities. This is
due to overproduction, participation in
different kinds of promotive schemes and
other local causes, and also to bank fail
ures in Australia, which, as everybody
knows, directly affect the financial stu
alton in Great Britain.''
