In speech at Terre Haute, Indiana,
Sunday night Mr.. Eugene V. Debs declared
he was opposed to strikes on general prin-
ciples, did all in his power to prevent the
so-called Pullman strike, did not intend to
ever again become identified with a move
ment in that direction, and should hence
forward devote whatever influence he has
toward educating the laborer to use the
ballot. A very sensible conclusion to
come to,

The official crop bulletin for the state of
Iowa, issued July 81, says that last week
was the severest ever known in the state
in its effect on vegetation, due to hot
weather and lack of rain. The general
opinion is that about one-fourth of the
corn acreage will yield no corn and but
little fodder. If relief comes in season
one-half an average crop may possibly be
harvested

An Interesting Case
Growing Ont of the Walter FOrgeries at
st, JOhnsbury.

st. JOhnsbury.
A st. Johnsbury despatch says that the
Lyndonville National bank has brought
suit against 7. c. Fletcher of that place to
recover $4,000, the amount of a note to
which Charles T. Walter confessed that he
forged Fletcher's name and for which
Walter is now serving a term in state
prison. The suit is brought on the ground
that the signature is genuine, and the bank
claims TO have evidence to that effect.
The note was given to renew one which
was genuine, and the suit is brought on
the original as well as the present note, on
the ground that the original note is in
force until it is lawfully paid. The suit is
entered for the December term of court
and promises to be very interesting,
though it is generally believed that Walter
forged the note.

No Occasion for Despair.

"What do you think of the present po-
sition of the Republican party?" asked.
"The Republican party is firmly situated
and is just what it has been. 1t stands
for fair and honest elections the country
over, and if we could have them in the So
called Confederate states we would have
the House by nearly as large a majority as
the Democrats.
"The Republican party is as strong on
the question of protective tariff as ever,
l am glad to say, and as hope it always
will be. The Republican party favors
honest money, based on both gold and sill
yer, and based on such weights for coinage
as will make gold and silver of equal value.
The Republican party knows the infinite
injury done the common masses of the
people in this country and others in put
ting out paper money not based on, or re-
deemable in coin. Every experiment of
this sort has always resulted in a calami-
ty which always has and always will fall
on the people least able to bear it,

A DETERMINED OFFICER

Puts Twenty-Six Ugly Tramps Who Had
Boarded q Train to Flight.
CINCINNATI, May IA gang Of
twenty-six desperate tramps attempted
to capture a Big Four passenger train
at Lockland about $40 o'clock Wednes-
day night. When train No. s, bound
for Columbus, pulled out of the Gin
cinnati yards. shortly after 8 o'clock.
the platforms of the baggage and mail
cars were crowed with tramps. AS the
train sped on it's way the hobos be-
came more free and elm bed onto the
engine tender.
When the train reached the Lock-
land station the engineer stopped the
train. The conductor and brakemen
started to put off the intruders, but
they refused to leave the cars and drew
knives, ready to fight.
After ten minutes delay Officer John
w. Gilman reached the scene and
ordered the men to leave, but they re-
fused.
''Then I'll make you," said Officer
Gilman, drawing his six-shooter and
leveling it at the supposed leader of
the gang. The move was unexpected,
and after a few dissenting curses the
twenty-six men slowly got off the cars
and walked away.

A DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO

Visits the City of Mt. Vernon, INDIA
Steamer Capsized and Sunk.
Mt. VERNON, Ind, May IA tor
nado visited this city about 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon doing much dam
age to property. Trees were blown
down, fences scattered to the winds
and many buildings were unroofed.
The storm came from the northwest
and was very rapid in it's flight. The
steamer Eugene and barge were in the
middle of the Wabash river when the
storm struck them. The smokestacks
and pilot house were blown away
and the boat capsized and sank in
twenty feet of water. The crew,
twenty-five in number, saved them
selves by scrambling into the barge.
Capt. Henry Campbell, and the engi-
neer went down with the boat, but
managed to reach the hurricane deck
and save themselves
Weckesser's block was badly dam
aged, the roof being blown away and
timber scattered in every direction
and the building flooded with water.
The sKnights of Pythias hall. was
ruined by thetorrent; fully insured.
At the Mt. Vernon fair grounds a
damage of several thousand dollars
was sustained.

Ex-Marshat Wilson In Trouble-The
Survey OF Pearl Harbor In Progress ny
. Force From the PhiladelPhia-ROy4t-
lists Still Feeding on Hope.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE Unite
Press correspondent at Honolulu writ
ing under date of the Sd instant per
steamer Alameda, which arrived yes
terday afternoon, says:
The election of delegates to the con-
stitutional convention took place yes
terday in an extremely quiet and
orderly manner. About 1900 voters
cast their ballots out of 1880 who had
registered on the island of Oahu. Six
delegates were assigned to this island.
Five names had been put up as the
regular ticket of the American union
party. Of these only three were chosen,
Carter, Abel and Kunia-Kea. Six indie
pendent candidates were also on the
printed ballot furnished by the gov
eminent. Judge Roberts, police mag
istrate, led the poll with over 1.500
votes. The Portuguese had put up two
candidates, who divided nearly equally
the votes of all the 500 and more Por-
tuguese voters, and stood second and
third on the poll. The Portuguese
handled themselves with great eff
cheney, the more remarkable because
most of them cannot read or write.
Returns from other isla nds will not
be all in for feveral days. Results,
however are already certain. as only
one set of candidates had been nOmi-
mated, and all were therefore certain
of election. All of the delegates from
other islands are leading men, and
have had more or less legislative
experience. None of those elected
from Honolulu has ever served in
legislature or are men of special lead
ership. The nominations were made
in an ill-considered manner in the
primaries, instead of being handled
by nominating convention. Those
elected are, however, a fairly safe
class of men. The general complexion
of the coming convention is highly
conservative. There will be strong
tendency to avoid needless innovations
in the new constitution. Some of the
most influential and capable of the
natives are elected, and will help to
watch for the rights and interests of
their people.
Ex-Marshal Wilson, the queens ia
vorite, is in trouble. He is under ar
rest as an accomplice in the brutal as
sault at the Hawaiian hotel made by
one Ben Gallagher upon Albert Austin.
a prominent annexationist. Ben
chewed off Austin's ear, and is held
for mayhem. Wilson is charged with
aiding Gallagher and preventing Aus
tin from defending himself.
A strong force from the flagship
Philadelphia is at work at Pearl har-
Dor surveying and testing the nature
of the bar.
The royalists are understood to be
endeavoring to revive certain volun-
teer native organizations disbanded at
the revolution of 's7. They claim to
be confident that President Cleveland
will restore the queen in June. They
believe that Admiral Walker has been
sent here for that purpose, and are
living on hope.
