Trial of the Columbia Will Result in

Trial of the Columbia Will Result in
Modifying Plans of Cruisers.
WASHINGTON, Aug. g. The expe-
rience Of the Columbia in her ocean
race against time has served. to direct
the attention of the engineer officers to
the pressing need for a radical change
in the present system of arranging
coal bunkers. It has come to be the
practice Of late years to subdivide the
interior Of a ships hull, alotting spaces
for boilers, engines, sleeping quarters,
guns, ammunition hoists and magazines
and for every other purpose, and then
to fill in the vacant corners with coal
bunkers. The result is, as shown in
the case Of the Columbia, that
these bunkers are often almost
inaccessible, and the contents can be
reached by only one man at a time,
thus preventing the easy supply Of the
bunkers with coal, and consequently
reducing the speed of the ship. This
is particularly true if the bunkers are
empty, as they are generally arranged
in groups communicating with one
another by small doors, land the fremen
must drag the coal through the bunk
ers to get it to the furnaces, It is the
opinion at the navy department. that
perhaps the principle of subdividing
the ships into water tight compart-
ments has been carried so far as to i'm
pair their efficiency, and the need of
reform in the direction of simplifying
the bunker arrangement is well recog-

DEMAND GOLD,

Sensational Circular Issued on Pension
Day at Topeka.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 6.-This is pen
sion day and checks for several hun
dred thousand dollars are being paid
out by United States Commissioner
Click. The following circular was dis
tributed among the old soldiers Of
Topeka and Sawnee county who visited
the United States pension office to get
their quarterly allowance from the
governments:
Comrades: Halt You are entitled
to gold in payment Of your checks.
Demand it. Do not accept deprecated
currency"
The pensioners are paid by checks,
which are cashed at the Topeka banks.
It is claimed the circular was prepared
by a bimetallist who wanted to show
that there is not enough gold in the
banks to pay the pensioners alone, aside
from doing the other business Of the
country. It has also been suggested
that this may be part of the Sovereign
boycott Of national bank notes. It is
not known who distributed the circp-
lars.

Committee
IN THE SILVER CONVENTION
The Fight Will Result in Con-
siderable Friction if Moth
ing More.

FERTILE SPRINGS, Mo-, Aug. 6.-Sil-
yer Dick Bland has arrived here to lead
the forces and frame the resolutions
which will be adopted by the Demo-
cratic silver convention. The advance
guard is a small one, not more than a
dozen delegates being here, and barr.
ing Senator Cockrell, who lives here,
Bland is the only star attraction on
the ground. Bland, however, has al
ready thrown down the gauntlet to the
anti-silver element in the Democratic
state central committee and it may re.
suit in considerable friction if nothing
more. Mr.. Bland had not been here q
half hour when he was out in the dec
laration to a few trusted friends that
the time has arrived when the silver
men should d
Assume Control of the Party Machinery.
For publication he refused to talk,
but the statement of his declaration of
comment.
This declaration of BANDS is inter.
preted to mean that he proposes to fight
the old committee, and endeavor to
GUST them and secure a new committee,
favorable to the white metal. Mr..
Bland is Of the opinion that the final
results will be most gratifying to the
friends of silver, who hold. that the
ratio of 16 to l is the proper basic point
upon which to go to the nation for the
fight for free and unlimited coinage of
silver.

DlSCREDlTS THE STORY.

Consul General Wilder Takes No Stock in
the Latest Filibuster Move.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6.-Consul
General Wilder discredits the story
about an alleged attempt to organize a
flibustering expedition in this city to
overthrow the Hawaiian government
and restore Queen Liliuokalani to the
throne. He says:
1.-THE story is ridiculous and so
far as I have been able to
ascertain is absolutely without foun-
dalton. I never heard of
Of w. P. Morrow, before, nor Of his
alleged scheme to organize a flibuster-
ing expedition to overthrow the gov
eminent. Furthermore, I take no stock
in it. AS matter of fact, I am in.
clined to think that Morrow is simply
a confidence man, who has hit upon
this %expedient as a clever way of MAX
ing a few dollars. He was to collect
BIG from each Of 200 or more adventur.
ers, and that would have been the last
eve heard of his so-called plan to re.
establish the monarchy on the islands"

OMAHA'S POLICE MIDDLE.

Men Discharged and Everything
Quiet.
OMAHA, Aug. 6.-Things have been
quiet in the city during the day. The
fire and police board decided it was not
necessary to maintain an army of
policemen at the police station to de,
TEND them from an attack of a mob.
Accordingly the rs special policemen
that had been on duty for the proceed
ing 80 hours were ordered to remove
their stars and go home prepared to
answer a call at any time. Thus far
none of the police force who have
signed the pledge to support the new
board have taken tie preliminary step
Of resigning from the present force.
Friday it was stated that they were
going to secede and place themselves
openly under the direction of the new
board, but more recent developments
seem to have induced them to post
pone their contemplated action.

A QUESTION OF TIME
MANY Indian Territory Indians
Recognize That They Must
Make a Move
TOWARDS AN AGREEMENT
Enacting Such Legislation AS
it Sees Fit-Election Now
In Progress.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-General Arm
strong, II of the Dawes commission,
is spending a few days in Washington.
He says that the prospects now are
that the commission will be able to
make q deal looking to future legis-
lation for the settling of the exist
ing anomalous condition in the
Indian country. just at present
the elections in the various tribes are
in progress, and the commission decid.
ed that it was we'll for it's members to
be absent in order to prevent the charge
being made that they were there to in
fluence the voters and secure legisla-
lures in the different nations that
We're %favorably inclined to the wishes
of the commission, There are plenty
of men in the Indian country who are
OPPOSED to the commission and are
doing everything possible to prevent
an agreement being reached. 1t is ex-
pected that the Legislatures of the diff
ferent nations will take some action
this fall looking to an adjustment
through the commission. They will ask
the legislatures to appoint commission
ers to negotiate and submit propositions
for a form of territorial government
and disposition of the lands.
Only n Question of Time.
EMany Of the Indians are opposed to
taking allotments and divisions of
lands, though the more progressive are
aware that they must do SO sooner or
later. Some of the Indians are also OF
the opinion that unless they submit
some satisfactory proposition to the
Dawes commission, or show some in
clination to organize a better form of
government, congress will ignore them
and proceed to legislate with the
knowledge it already has on the sub
ject and without further consultation
with the various nations. The Choc-
taws and Chickasaws have already
evinced a disposition to meet the COM
mission, and in the Cherokee nation
petitions are already being circulated
asking the legislature to appoint a
commission to meet the Dawes COM
mission, with a view to reaching an
agreement, and submitting to congress
some proposition for legislation of the
territory.
General Armstrong says the commits
sion will, of necessity, be compelled to
move slowly, as the Indians will not be
hurried into doing anything, and are
largely disposed to be perfectly satisfied
with their present condition.

--latest Estimate of thu Crop for the
Year.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 6.-The Pioneer
Press says: Carefully prepared es-
Inmates of the crop of 1896 in
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Wisconsin
show that the encouraging outlook
early in the season has become averity.
Conservative correspondents from the
different localities of the four states
furnish information of the probable
yield per acre in their immediate
vicinity after personal examination of
the fields and extensive inquiry among
the most reliable farmers. In many
instances the tale of the thresher,
whose accuracy cannot be doubted,
confirms the former estimates or even
exceeds them.
The reports from Minnesota indicate
that crops of all sorts are turning out
better than was expected in the few
localities where it was feared they had
been injured. The estimated yield per
acre varies, Of course, in the different
sections of the state, owing to differ
emit conditions OF soil and amount of
rainfall.
An Average Yield.
of 20 bushels of wheat to the acre is
reported from counties where 10 to Ii
bushels would have gladdened farmers
in other easons. In other counties
20 bushels of wheat per acre is conf
IDENTIFY expected, while as bushels of
oats and 40 bushels of barley is not un-
usual this year.
In some counties in South Dakota
where a considerable portion of the
crop has been threshed the returns
vary from 10 to 20 bushels per acre,
oats from 80 to so bushels. In other
counties the average yield of wheat is
II to Is bushels. In North Dakota in
the Red river valley the average wheat
crop is placed at from rs to 80 bushels.
In Richland county, near Wahpeton,
some barley which has been threshed
yielded IS bushels per acre.
