WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-The i'm
preston prevails in both the state and
navy departments that the revolution
in Ecuador VIII be quite a serious af-.
fair before the international troubles
there are settled. No advices have
been received concerning recent en-
gagements The state department has
received from Minister Tillman at
Quito dispatch dated July 20. which
shows what the situation was at that
time. In it Minister Tillman says that
there are no indications of an early
settlement of the complicated political
conditions of that country. Alfaro,
who arrived at GuayaquiI on the 18th
or 18TH of June. was still there with an
armed force amounting, as claimed by
his friends. to 1000 or 5000 men. The
government force at Quito was esti-
mated at 1000. which, it was thought,
might be increased to 1000.
The plateau between the eastern and
western range Of mountains was con-
trolled at the time of Mr.. Tillman's
writing by the small army of the con-
servatives. General SaraSti, with 1000
men. was at Guaranda, d hundred
miles northwest of Quito. near the

his strength were not definitely known

he says that it was admitted on all
sides that his advance to the capital
d few weeks before would have been
easy.
Mr.. Tillman adds that the strangesl

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Irish party
met again today in committee room Is
for the election of a consultative COM
mittee. Mr.. Healy's supporters seemed
to be apathetic and several Of them
remained in the house of commons
while the meeting was proceeding. At
ter three hours discussion of Mr..
Healy's conduct in the Omagh affair,
the meeting adjourned. but it was re-
stunned at o'clock and sat until mid
night. A strongly worded motion by
J. c. Glynn, NJ. P, for Cork county,
censuring Mr.. Healy's conduct, was
rejected without a division.
According to a report of the meeting
given out for publication, John Dillon
read the correspondence in connection
with the Omagh affair A motion by
Mr.. Healy that the correspondence be
published was voted down.
It will be remembered that at the
Nationalist meeting at Omagh, County

John Dillon of selling the Tyrone seats

WACO, Tex, Aug 16-General
Weaver, who spoke before the Popu-
lists today, in an interview with an
Associated Press representative said
the cause Of free silver was gaining
ground and that both of the old par
ties were being materially weakened.
He says in his opinion William G.
Whitney will be the Democratic nomi-
nee for president, though Cleveland
may develop some strength while the
Republicans are for Harrison, Morton,
Allison and Mckinley in the order
named. He thought Harrison would
receive the nomination and that there
was no room for two Republican par

party was doomed. He believed
Senator Sherman's speech at the
GAINESVILLE, o., convention would be

grandfather was Joseph Peter Van
Tarssel, of the old Van Tarssel family

City stands today. My ancestors came
to this country from Holland when
the country was a wilderness, and they
brought money and jewelry and learn

New York state, and they figure nobly.
My grandfather's brother was the orig

mother was called the belle of Man

only by the merest chance that my
mother escaped becoming Mrs. Cor

Cornelius Vanderbilt, at that time a
travelling trader along the rivers in
New York state, was frequent visi-

extensively boorish and insulted the
family so grossly that my grand

AFTER A NEGRO.
BRUTAL AsS.UANT OF 4 WHITE
WOMAN IDENTIFIED.
Crowd Surrounding the Jail. Or
DERBY, But Determined TO Lynch
the DeviI-His Friends VIII Re-
sist.

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug 16--There
never were such scenes in this place
as are witnessed tonight. Last We'd
nesday Mrs. Mary Hudson, white, wife
of a prominent farmer, was outraged
three miles from this city by a negro.
The womans screams attracted the
men from THE fields. They found Mrs.
Hudson unconscious and the negro had
fled The country was secured by
hundreds of armed men and blood
hounds and that night Henry Mitchell
Smith was caught. He has been held
in jail here ever since. Tonight Mrs.
Hudson positively identified Smith.
This caused great excitement and q
strong guard was placed around the
jail. This did not prevent large
crowd from assembling at the jail and
they remained there all night. The
crowd is orderly, but determined.
Nothing will probably be done until
near morning. when the crowd comes
in from Payne station. where Mrs.
Hudson lives About $50 E.rmed men
are getting ready there for the march
on the Jail in this city. There are
many armed salen here determined to
prevent a lynching if they possibly
can, but the visitors can get help here
as we'll as resistance Alter midnight
the crowd still remains near the Jail,
and the neighbors are known to be
coming.
Two men just arrived from the neigh
borhood of the crime say the people
there expect to let the law take its
course. This is thought to be a ruse
and it is feared an effort will be made
to take the negro from the court room
at the examining trial in the morning
A strong guard will be esta blished at
the court room and all who enter will
be searched for concealed weapons
If the mob appears during the trial it
is believed they will succeed in getting
their man.

GOOD NEWS.
NEBR ASIA PEOPLE WILL HAVE
ENOUGH TO EAT.
state Said to BE Richer BY $4,000
coo Than She Was Il Year Ago at
This Time.

OMAHA. Aug. 16.-Nebraska is
! richer today than this time last year
by at least S39, 600, 600 At the most
conservative estimate, three of its
grain crops are worth that figure. Two
of them have already been gathered
and the third is practically beyond
danger.
OF oats, 3O,ooO,00o bushels are about
ready to be marketed. They are sell
ing in Nebraska at 15c. per bushel, so
that the crop is worth to the state
"a, 800, 900.
OF wheat, 15,000.000 bushels have been
harvested. The wheat crop at SO cents
per bushel is worth $4,000 coo.
The corn crop is practically made.
1t is past the reach of harm by hot
winds. Only the severe frosts can
now injure it. There is now 1S0,000,000
'bushels in sight At Is cents per
'bushel this would be worth $25, 00O,0 600.
ceiving % cents per bushel for it de-
1vered at the railway tracks. There
are many who think they are over
sanguine, and so 10 cents per bushel is
taken from their estimate of its value.
Should they be correct, the value of
the states corn crop to the people of
,Nebra ska would be $45, 100000, increas-
Ing the aggregate OF the three crops
named to $57,000,O0O. That by no
means represents the total of the ag-
ricultural wealth of the state for the
year. Sorghum broom corn, potatoes,
hay, alfalfa, sugar beet, common beet,
fax, millet and other crops
in great abundance have been
gathered These facts, as stated, are
a result of examinations of the Situa-
ton which covered more than LOO
miles of Nebraska. A land agents eX-
cursion. got up blythe Burlington road,

up the Arcadia Branch to Loop City.
Throughout the entire region, with
the exception of a little strip, sixty
miles square, nothing but the most
luXuriant abundance was found.
There has been a very material in
crease in Nebraska's irrigating system
during the past year and as a conse-
quence a repetition of last years ex-
perience to anything like the same ex-

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 1s.-At noon
today the report of several shots in
rapid succession were heard to issue
from the office of Dr. H. il. Holmes,
in the Dekurl building, Third and
Washington streets. The tenants of
The building rushed in and found the
pros trate bodies Of DR.. Holmes and Or.
Robert X AuspIund, each of whom
was holding smoking pistol in his
hand. There were no other persons in
the room. Ausplund had hole in his
NyAndy and one in his head, another in
his breast. another in his right wrist.
Holmes was wounded in two places,
one bah having entered an arm and
the other in the body, just below the
left nipple. Ausplund was taken TO the
hospital and Holmes to his residence.
AuSplund's wounds will undoubtedly
result fatally, while the physicians
think Holmes will recover.
It is not known just what was the
cause Of the shooting, but it is thought
1T was due 10 criticism of Holmes on
Auspmnd's method of treating a pa
tient in the Portland hospital and that
Ausplund called at Holmes office to
make him retract.
