OTTAWA (Ont.), April 6.-Something
like a sensation has been created by the

1t contains paragraph stating that the
silver cups promised by the Earl of
Derby had not been received by the win
ming team for 1899. 1t has been always
customary for the Governor General to
give the cups. He also promised cups
for 1893, ard they have not been yet re-
ceived either. 1t has also leaked out that
the 5000 which the Earl of Derby prom
ised the Dominion Rifle Association for
what is known as the GOvernor-General's
prize for 1898 has not been paid. This
association, however, makes no reference
to it in it's report published yesterday,
but instead borrowed the money from a
bank. 1t is understood that the Earl of

case if the money is not forthcoming.

Various Causes for the SIackening OF
American Securities.
NEW YORK, April 5.-Reviewing the
financial situation, Bradstreet will to-
morrow say: The feature of the present
week was the suspension of foreign pur-
chasing, which furnished the motive
power of the previous weeks market.
Various causes were assigned for the
sudden slackening of interest in Ameri-
can securities in London, and it was even
suggested that misconceptions in regard
to the difficulties in South Carolina had
been effective in this connection. The
more reasonable view of the matter is
that the interest suddenly shown in our
securities abroad was largely speculative,
that the speculation was overdOne, and
quickly exhausted itself In support of
this it might be mentioned that the for
eign investments deal in the bonds has
also been of a less active character. At
the same time London has appeared only
as moderate seller, and retains for the
time the greater part of its purchases of
both stocks and bonds in this market.
The absence of liquidation from this
course has, therefore, sustained prices,
and though the professional element
made several attempts to bring about a
reaction, they met no success, and seem
to have only increased the outstanding
short interest,

system, says there are no great poor
houses and few ablebodied paupers in
Holland. There is tract of public land
containing 5000 acres 1t is divided
into six model farms, and to one of
these is sent the poor person applying
for public relief. If he voluntarily
serves till he learns agriculture, he is
allowed to rent small farm for him
self and be what is called free farm
er. Every pauper who is thus reclaimed
to honest, regular industry is SO much
gain to the state. There is also forced

grants are sent and made to do farm
and other work, whether they want to
or not.

SWUNG FROM A BRIDGE.
MURDERER LYNCHED AT STRONG
CITY, KANSAS.
George Rose Hanged by . Mob of
Masked Men Consisting of
the Best Citizens of
the Town.

STRONG Cry, KAN, May 13.-The
great excitement which prevailed all OF
Friday and which nearly eliminated in
the lynching of George Rose, the muir
derer OF Assistant Postmaster Kuhl OF
Cottonwood Falls, broke out afresh last
night and about IL O'Clock O meb of 30
masked men marched to the Jail and
called Sheriff Murdoch to the door. As
soon as the sheriff opened the door, he was
overpowered by the masked men, who
placed pistols to his head and conduct
ing himto the door of the cell occupied
by Rose he was commanded to unlock
it. He was finally compelled to do go,
under threats that the mob would have
the man they sought even if they had
to pull the Jail down. Every approach
to the Jail and court house was carefully
guarded by armed members OF the mob.
After securing the prisoner the mob
marched east to railroad bridge. In
the meantime word had reached the
citizens of the town generally. and a
crowd of fully 1000 people gathered at
the bridge to see the lynching of the
murderer. A rope was placed around
the victims neck. and then he was
asked if he had anything to say, to
which he replied:
Gentlemen, suppose there's no use
to talk; you're out here to hang nae. l
should have liked to have had a trial
by law"
He was asked if that was all he had
to say, to which he replied:
Eyes, except that l hope God will
have mercy On my SOUL"
His hands and feet were then tied
and he was given a shove off the
bridge, falling about 10 feet. His neck
was broken and death was almost in
Simultaneous. The lynchers then disap-
peared, leaving his body dangling be-
tween the bridge and the waters of
Cottonwood river, where it remained
until a. M. when the coroner held
an inquest. The verdict was: death
by hanging by parties unknown"
The general belief here ia that the
lynching was iustifable, and it is under
stood that the masked men who did the
work consisted OF some OF the best citi-
zens of Cottonwood Falls.
