UNDERGROUND RIVER
KANSAS FARMERS ALARMED OVER
A REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.
Land Caving In Toward the Center
of the Earth-One of the Holes
Filling Up with Water.

WICHITA, Kan, Sept. 2.-Land is cav
ing in toward the center OF the earth In the
vicinity of the juEction of Harvey. Butler
and Marion counties in this State. Great
excitement prevails among the people and
many of them are getting away from the
place. State officials have been summoned
to investigate the disturbance OF the earth.
There was no shock felt when the earth
caved in, nor did it bear any resemblance
to an earthquake. Near Whitewater, on
the farm of Thomas Essington, area of
forty by ninety feet sunk TO depth of
twenty-eight feet, and when man was
let down into the hole his weight alone
sunk 1t nearly three feet more. This oc-
Cured yesterday, and about the same time
an AREA of seventy-five feet square sunk
at Plumgrave a depth of thirty-fve feet.
This was on the farm OF Sid Jones, the
sliding-in carrying in a threshing machine
and separator with ii. Water poured into
the latter hole from under ground till 1t
is filled nearly to the top. but the hole at
Whitewater is still dry, though it is sup
posed that the caved-in earth is resting
upon vast body Of water. The places
are some seven or eight miles apart AT
Annelin, several miles from Whitewater.
there were several small cave-ins ranging
in depth from six feet to forty feet. The
theories are various. but none Of them, so
far, is scientific Not long since a man was
digging a well in the vicinity of Plum
grave, and when he had reached depth Of
twenty-six feet the drill shot into an ap-
parent vacuum and could not be recovered.
All the cave-ins. great and small, extend
in crooked, stream-like course a dis
tance of about twenty-four miles.

PENSIONS MOI ..BES.
A Democrat Repudiates Another Demo-
Gratis Libel OH Soldiers.

ALBANY. N Y. Sept. 2l--A mild SEN
sation was caused in the constitutional con-
vention here to-day during a discussion of
the civil-service amendment, which recon-
mends old soldiers for Office, by Mr.. Coun-
tryman, Of Albany, saying "the old SOL
diers are being bribed with pension money.
and now We want to bribe them with
Offices 1 am against such schemes"
Isam Johnson Rep.)-I repudiate any
such theory. 1t is an insult to the men
who offered up life and limb TO save the
Republic. The gentleman has made mis-
take.
Mr.. Countryman-I repeat the statement.
Mr.. Johnson-Then / say that the asser-
ton is an unworthy one. and believe that
there is not Democrat on the other side
of the house who will uphold such a state
ment.
Mr.. Mulquen-I arise as Democrat to re-
pEdiate the statement made by the gen.
tleman from Albany that the pensions
granted to the brave men who saved the
Union are bribes. / know there is not a
Democrat this floor who does not agree
that the veterans should receive this money.
Pensions are given by a grateful country
to the widow and orphan of the brave man
who in the hour of our countrys need left
home and family and risked nis life that
the Union might live.
The amendment was adopted-97 to 54.

COTTON Low In PRICE,
Yesterday 1t Touched 6 "a Cents, and 1t
May 90 Down to 6.

NEW YORK, Sept 2l.-All previous low
records on cotton contracts were broken
this morning when October sold at 6.2.
cents, against the last lowest record of 6.2S
cents which was made on March 16, 1892,
the e-million-bale crop year. The lowest
sale of the day was at 6.24 cents. In ante
bellum days stil lower prices were occa-
sionally current under slave labor, but new
er before in the history of the Cotton Ex-
change has the price of the staple touched
the low figure now current. The immediate
cause of the decline is the large movement
OF cotton at the ports and the interior, with
an Indifferent marker for il even al present
low prices. Sentiment on Change is bear
ish, and as low as cents is predicted for
cotton in the not remote future, based on
the expectation of nine-million-bale crop,
with 100000 bales possible, and no esti-
mate worth considering below s,5OO,Oo0
bales. In view of the bearish conditions
prevailing, there is a large accumulation of
short interest mere and the pessimstic view
of the future generally taken leads some Of
the more careful operators to be conserva-
tive, as in the event of any bull movement
being started the short interest would be an
important factor in rapid advance of the
price.
