FLOWER MAKES REPORT.
Thinks Crops Observation-Disclosures
licans in Hurry-Democrats
Patiently Waiting.

NEW YORK, June Is -Ex-Gover-
nor Flower has returned from his
western trips. Among other things
he said to a reporter: "Don't be-
lieve what people tell you about
bad crops. 1t is going to be good
crop year. The old weather
which we had q few weeks ago
only injured the winter wheat and
1 should say that not more than
100000 bushels of winter wheat
are raised east Of the Rocky noun
tains, but the spring wheat is in
fine condition and the corn crop
promises to be very large. The
corn was not out Of the ground
when the frosty nights came,
so it escaped without injury. The
fruits are also in good condition.
Our personal observation Of the
farming territory through which
we passed gave US great encour-
agement and the reports which We
got at Chicago from railroad men
convinced us that the favorable
conditions were general through
out the west and southwest. Re-
cent rains have done much to in.
sure generous harvests.
presidential candidates seem to
be quite numerous on the Repub.
lican line, but on the Democratic
side there seems to be general
disposition to await political de-
velopments before discussing can
dates. l think the Western DEM
ocrats are quite determined to
throw their strength to a western
man and 1 should not be surprised
to see the nomination 60 to that
section of the country"
Il can't say that the talk has crys-
tallized much yet around any one
man, but 1 heard Vice President
Stevenson's name mentioned con-
siderably. Senator Villas has a
great many friends who would be
glad to see him get the nomination |;
so has Boies, of Iowa, Don Dickin-
son is likely dark horse and so Is
Morrison, OF Illinois.
The free silver Democrats, Of
course, want an out and out silver
man. l heard some talk to the ef-
feet that William l.. Wilson ould
receive the support Of the admins
tration's influence for the nomina-
ton. II the nomination should go
to the east William @. Whitney
stands as good chance to get it as
any other eastern man."

FOR PARTS UNKNOWN.
Widows and Orphans the Heaviest
Losers.

DENVER, Col, June lS.-Henry
j. Aldrich, president and general
manager OF the Colorado Securities
company, has disappeared and the
creditors concerned are making
strenuous efforts to ascertain his
whereabouts. Inquiry for the
missing man brought to light one
OF the greatest sensations known in
Colorado. Five weeks ago Aldrich
left Denver without giving notice
Of his proposed departure, and now
1t is thought that he has gone to
Australia or the Sandwich Islands.
The hasty exit Of Aldrich was due
to the fact that warrant for his
arrest, based on an Indictment
found by the grand jury, was to
be served, on a charge Of misappro-
priation of funds entrusted to his
care. Aldrich also acted as treas
urer Of st. Johns cathedral for ten
years and was recognized in Denver
as man OF most sterling worth
and deep religious character.
From 800 to 400 ranch titles are
clouded by the acts of Aldrich,
who diverted tho funds RENTED
by eastern investors to make good
his shortage. The maturing obliga-
tions were occasioned by the depre-
citation in real estate, for which he
guaranteed the principal and in
terest on loans and then began a
downward course, which culminat-
ed in the appointment OF receiver
three months ago. Even then
there was no intimation OF any
thing wrong and disclosures only
came to the surface with the work
of the receiver in scanning the
books. The heaviest loss falls upon
the widows and orphans in the
east, whose earnings and savings
were entrusted to the company for
investment at high rate OF in
terest. The debts will aggregate
from $500, 900 to $500, 900, and every
title issued by the company will
have to be examined before its
validity can be established.

ENGLISH PRoDUoERsALARMED,
America is Becoming q Too Smart
Competitor.

WASHINGTON, June Is. Secre-
tary Morton's recent bulletin on the
worlds markets for American pro-
ducts is attracting much attention
abroad, particularly in Great Brit
ain, where the leading journals
point out that Mortou's warning to
the rest OF the world should be
needed. The London Times gave q

comment:

LEGATION against agricultural pro-
ducts in the United States will no

pacity Of whom is fostered and

Shot the Right Man.

WICHITA, Kss., June lS.-A spe-
cial to the Eagle from Cloud Chief,
Oklahoma, says report is just
received that Sim Jones killed Jim
Rayfield, just across the line in
Mills county. Jones had been
waiting upon a sister OF Raytield,
whose family made serious objec-
tions and it is said threatened
Jones with violence. The girl &C.
casionally walked in her sleep and
the night after hearing her people
make threats, she arose in the night
and went four miles to the home of
Jones to warn him. Not daring to
take her home, Jones took her to
the house Of neighbor. When he
departed some one fired two shots
at him in the dark and he returned
the fire. Jones was unhurt, but
his fire brought a man to the
ground with bullet through his
heart. The dead man proved to be

A WESTERN SILVER THREAT.
States West of Mississippi Claiming
Recognition.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 1S.-
Hon. G. E. Allen, one Of the dele
gates to the League convention
from Utah, has arrived in this city.
Allen is the champion Of free sill
yer. To a reporter he expressed
his views on this question and
what the result Of the straddle by
the League would be upon the
western states: "The action Of
this convention" said Mr.. Allen,
whether it is for or against silver
will not have the slightest effect
on the people of the west. They
feel too deeply on this matter to be
influenced by a mere declaration of
such a body as this. will say,
however, that II the National Re-
publican convention does not nomi-
nate free silver man on free
silver platform, the party need not
expect to carry single state west
Of the Mississippi river"
"What ticket, If both Democrats
and Republican straddle, will they
vote?" asked the reporter.
"They will vote the ticket Of the
party declaring for silver" replied
Mr.. Allen.

up the Pauucefote Signature.
New YORK, June lS.-A special
to the World from London says :
"The advantages claimed for the
new American liner st. Louis as a
passenger steamship, as set
forth In the complimentary reso-
luton adopted by the principal
passengers on her first voyage, are
to form the subject Of a ques-
ton in parliament. Captain
Donelan, an Irish national, and
the member representing Queens
town, and therefore interested in a
rival route, gave notice to Sir
Edward Grey, under secretary for
foreign affairs, that he would ask
him this question: Whether the
resolution signed by Sir Julian
Pauncefote asserts that the st
Louis has demonstrated the In
auguration under American aus
pices of a new era in the history OF
ocean traffic, and whether, In view
OF the fact that such action on the
part OF an ambassador may be
awaited OF to advertise a foreign
line at the expense Of British COM
panies whose ships have invaria-
bly, proved their superiority on
both the outward and homeward
passage between this country
and New York, he will request Sir
Julian Pauncefote to substantiate
the statements contained in
the resolution or withdraw his
signature from it,"
Speaking to correspondent
Captain Donelan said: l am ask
ing the question not out OF any
unfriendly feeling to the Amerl-
can company because it is Ameri.
can, but simply in the interest OF
the Queenstown. route and the
com panies which still make
Queenstown port Of call despite
the inducements held out to them
to change to Southampton.

no expense to discredit the Queens
town route and 1t is my duty to

MATTERS TIcKLIsH AT KEEL.
France and Russia Preparing to do
the Twin Act - Watching
William.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-A special
to the Herald from Paris says Kiel
was the reason for the speech de-
livered by M. Hanotaux, French
minister Of foreign affairs, and it
was also the reason for the con-
ferring by the Gar OF the decora.
ton of the Order of st. Andrew
upon President Faure, two facts of
capital importance. But other de.
monstrations Of similar sort are
expected this week at Kiel. It is
probable that the Russian and
French fleets will start for and de-
part from Kiel concurrently and
will also afterward proceed to-
gether to Copenhagen to coal.
These two arms OF the fleet will be
one of the features Of the demon
stration, but q counter demonstra-
ton by the German emperor is
probable. Reports received by
diplomats say that the emperor
will make speech expressing his
pleasure at seeing all the nations
of Europe his guest and especially
two such friends as France and
Russia who have all his sympathy
and whose friend he himself wishes
to be. This speech will be the
elimination of the festivities and
it is dreaded by every one.
"The Kaiser at the present mo-
ment is very inimical to England"
said a diplomatist in speaking OF
the matter, sand French states
men have very much Numbered
since 1870. They ought to have
been able to turn the public opin-
ion of France against England, for
England is Frances sole enemy"
In diplomatic circles it is hoped
that everything will pass of hap
PLY at Kiel.
Stringent orders have been given
to all the admirals with the object
of preventing any departure from
the officially prescribed order Of
ceremonies.
