GEN. VIM. PORCHER MILES ON
THE ACTION OF THE SUGAR
PLANTERS.

Writing to his old time friend, Mai.
T. Lynch Hamilton of the Parish of
Iberia, Gen. VIM. Porcher Miles thus
forcibly expresses his opinion con-
corning the action of the Sugar Plan
ters of this State
SWEET SPRINGS,
September 10th, 1894.
My dear Hamilton:
L received your letter a day or two
ago, but have really been so upset
made so completely sick at heart by
the wildly selfish aud u%nprlncipled
course of SO mauy OF my friends in
Ascension, that | have not been able
to write-or to read-and hardly can
eat or sleep. And such id folly,
too ! To surrender Louisiana to War
moth and negro rule and the odious
election laws" in the faint-rery
faint hope that the Republican party
will restore the bounty on sugar.
This they ,ciU nerer do, and are pledg-
ed to "free sugar" and will never CON
sent to any duty on it. Mr.. Cleveland,
the strongest man in the Democratic
party, and his Secretary of Treasury
favor a duty on it. Why should we
despair OF bringing the party back to
it's old and settled policy of raising
some $685. 00, 900 of revenue from SUI
gar, which if not raised on sugar must
be raised upon scores of articles Just
as necessary to the comfort of the
people? Oh ! it is humiliating to see
gentlemen" selling themselves for a
mess of pottage (mhich they wU nerer
get!U
All honor to Dudley Avery! He
speaks my sentiments and those of
every true Southerner.
Faithfully yonrs,
WIN. PORCHER MILES.
Gen. Miles represents one of the
if not the largest sugar inter
rs. in the State, being tho owner of
large sugar plantations in .he
parishes of Ascension and St. James,
formerly the property of the la e John
burnside.
He ia not alone in the condemnation
# the jeserters.

Sims, the A. r. A. lecturer, was mobbed
at Kaukauna last night. The mob of
1000 people collected outside of the

party of friends barricaded the doors
and resisted the assaults of the mob.
The sheriff of Outagamle county was
sent for by Mayor Reuter-. who also tele-
graphed for militia, which Gov. Peck
denied unless asked for by the sheriff.
The sheriff partly dispersed the mob,
and with the help Of local officers es-
corted Sims to his boarding place. The
mob followed, throwing stones. Sims
was knocked senseless by stone. but
officers fought the mob off and got
him safely to his lodging. The
mob then dispersed. Sims was escorted
to train this morning by three men,
armed with Winchester rifles, and left
for Ashland. Bitter feeling has existed
for several months at Kaukauna over
the A. P. A., and the town is torn up
socially and in business by the events
Of last night.

CHANGE IN SEED WHEAT.
Radical Measures Decided Upon
for North Dakota

The matter of changing the seed
wheat to be used in North Dakota was
the subject of consideration at a con-
ference held at the chamber of COM
merce night before last between the
elevator men of Minneapolis and the
railroad commissioners of the hard
wheat state.
The object of the conference was to
consider the expense of making an
almost entire change in the seed wheat
used by the North Dakota farmers.
Much of the seed used last year failed
to terminate. After giving the q ues-
ton much consideration this step has
been decided OH by large number of
use seed raised in low places; those
having clay soil will use wheat raised
on black loan. and Minnesota wheat
will be secured to replace that home
raised.
1t was decided that the commission
should draw up circular letter to be
sent to the agents of all elevator com-
panies. in which the latter are instruct
ed to save out the best wheat offered for
Sale,to purchase it.unlOad from wagons,
ETC., anu load onto cars in transit for
North Dakota points as the commission
may suggest, and to store when neceS-
sary, the only expense to be borne by
the farmer being that of transportation
and the original purchase price. The
cost OF the storing, loading and unload
ing, ETC., will be the contribution of the
elevator men to the farmers in making
the change.

AN A. p. a. POLICEMAN
Arrested for Threatening the Life
of Omaha'S MuyOr

E
OMAHA, Jan. 1S.-Charges have been
preferred against Police Officer Charles
Bloom. who is accused of having writ.
ten letter to Mayor Bemis in which
the latter's life was threatened. One
day last week the mayor received let
ter signed Northumberland
threatening to kill the mayor il certain
things were not done. The matter was
kept quiet for day or so, and then re-
ferred to the chief of police.
The fire and police commissioners
have been working on the case for sew
eral days, and the result was that today
the chief of police preferred charges
against Officer Bloom. who is accused
OF having written the letter. Bloom
was awakened today and taken before
a meeting of the commissioners at noon
and asked to write the letter as it was
dictated to him by member of the
board. He wrote, and in the writing
proved his guilt to the satisfaction of
the commissioners, at least. His trial
has been set for tomorrow afternoon,
when expert testimony will be taken of
the chirography of the two letters.
Bloom is one of the oldest members Of
the force. He is said to be a member of
the A. P. A, ana his threats were in
spired by religious political feeling.

HUNTINGToN's GRAB.

aire to Give Up Some of Her


Mrs. Stanford Wants the Million.
aire to Give Up Some of Her
Stocks.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 1s.-Filing last
evening of a legal inventory and ap-
praisement of the estate of the la te
Senator Leland Stanford brings to light
further information of the reported
trouble between the Stanford and
Huntington interests in the Southern
Pacific. Mrs. Stanford, as executrix,
also filed sworn declaration that GER
tain property belonging to the estate
had not come into her possession,
though knowledge of the ownership of
such properties by the estate had come
to her. The declaration adds that she
is proceeding with due diligence to Oh
tain possession of such properties. which
she believes to be in the hands of other
persons in New York, and elsewhere,
though she is now unable to ascertain
the exact nature, character or value For
these reasons, she asks the privilege of
filing supplementary inventory. The
estimated value of these missing stocks
is $4,000, 000. A clause in Mrs. Stan
ford's supplementary declaration says
that among the missing property are
$3.50 shares of Santa Fe, 1880 shares of
Southern Pacific, Is, 525 shares of New
port News & Mississippi Valley, 6Sl
shares of Chesapeake & Ohio common,
3,762 shares of Illinois Central, /. 9S9
bonds of Galveston, Harrisburg & San
Antonio, per cent; so bonds of Chesa-
peake q Ohio general AIS, T99 Mexican
International Railway first As, l, lA Illi-
nois Central first As, 3.7SS-69. 0SS Ken
lucky Central trust fund of 1899.
Mrs. Stanford's assertion that she is
proceeding with due diligence to secure
these stocks, the Examiner says, means
that she has made formal demand of
Huntington, and that if the answer
should be refusal, suit will be begun
The Chronicle says: The inside
workings of the Southern Pacific will
be exposed if Mrs. Stanford should take
judicial steps to recover the property
which has been kept out of her posses
sion as the executriX of her husbands
will. One guess at the reason why Mr..
Huntington has not put them in her
grasp is, that in the recent financial
pinch which the Southern Pacific eXpe-
rienced, Mr.. Huntington borrowed
money on them, and that it has been
out of his power lately to recover them,
because be did not have the ready cash.
Outside these missing stocks and the
Vina, Gridley and PaIo Alto property,
which now belong to Stanford univer-
sity, the late senator's estate is APP
praised at 17,6SS,3l9.

Singapore advices received by the

A GRAPHIC ACCOUNT
OF the wreck of the steamer Normandy
in the China sea, Dec. 6, and the escape
of Harold NJ. Sewall, of Maine, formerly
United States consul general at Samoa,
and his wife, who were the only pas
sengers on the steamer. Sewall was
married in San Francisco about six
months ago, and started on trip
around the world with his wife. They
went to Manila, and on Nov. 90 took
passage from there for Singapore on
the Normandy, a cargo boat, which had
limited passenger accommodations. A
week later, while crossing the China
sea. the steamer ran aground at night.
The sea was breaking all around her,
and 1t was found necessary to abandon
her. The captain, with his wife, chill
dren, and number of the crew. took
one boat and loaded it with several
trunks containing personal effects. Mr..
and Mrs. Sewall went in the mates
boat, leaving all their baggage behind
them. The mates boat drifted about
all night in
THE ROUGH SEA
and at daybreak its occupants found
themselves five miles from an island
Sewall and two engineers did most of
the rowing, and pulled for the island.
Rain had been falling nearly all the
time, and the occupants of the boat suf-
fered greatly. After dangerous at
tempt to land through the breakers
they finally reached the shore. Sewall
and his wife were without shoes. and
all the party had to walk long distance
before they found any signs of habita-
ton.
They finally came to few native
huts where they were given shelter and
food aud dry clothing. Here they also
found the occupants of the captain
boat, all except the captain and lis
child, who had lost their lives. The
boat had capsized while endeavnring to
land. The captain had been killed by
striking his head against one of the
heavy trunks, and the boy had been
drowned. The others had washed
ashore i'll safety. One of the party then
went In small boat to the Dutch set
Element of khio. The controller of Rho,
in response to letters from Sewall and
the mate, sent government steamer to
the island, which took the party to
Singapore.
