Francis for Interior Secretary.

Washington, D. G, June 5.-The
president is proceeding with delib-
Grafton in the selection Of a success
sor to late Secretary Gresham. 1t
may be that he is in correspondence
with some one touching his appoint
ment to the cabinet, and that the
president, following his usual prac-
tice, refraips from allowing his in
tentions to become known until he
is assured that any offer he may
make will surely be accepted. 1t is
assumed that the new secretary of
state will not be announced until the
cabinet is again complete. So far
as can be learned now the president
has not formally advised attorney
general Olney of his wishes that he
should accept transfer to the state
department, but it is believed that
in following this course the presl-
dent is simply waiting to make sure
that he can fill to his satisfaction
the place that will be vactated by
Mr.. Olney,
Among the rumors is one to the
effect that after transferring Mr..
Olney to the state department the
president will place secretary Hoke
Smith in the attorney generals Of
flee and fill the office of the secretary
of the interior by the appointment
of Ex-Governor Francis, of Missouri.
1t is known that the president has
the kindest feelings toward Mr.
Francis, and his appointment would
be in line with the policy the presi-
dent has leaned toward lately of
recognizing the younger and pro-
gressive element in his party. Secre-
tary Smith, being lawyer by pro.
fession, is also supposed to have a
decided preference for the attorney
geueralship.
1t is now expected that the presi.
dent will leave Washington for Gray
Gables early next week, and there.
fore the announcement of the cabi-
net changes is looked fer very soon.

cause OF the excitement was brutal
assault on two young girls, aged Is

old son of 4. S. Howard, president
Of the Chase County National bank
Howard, it seems, was out IN field
working when Nellie Burlington and
another girl named Hinole, who
were out picking berries. came past.
Howard assaulted the Hinele girl,
who, after desperate struggle. in
which her clothing was nearly all
torn from her person, escaped. Her
assailant then started after aud
caught the Younger girl, Nellie, and,
after tearing her clothes almost of
her. succeeded in his purpose. The
young girl, after he left her torn
and bleeding, managed to drag her
self to the nearest neighbor's.

lynched him on the spot had it not
been for the counsel of some of the
cooler heads, who had him turned
over to the officers. This morning
he was admitted to bail in $1,000,

caused much excitement, and it was
thought it would have been better
had he been kept in Jail. Howard $

the 18th inst. The excitement has
seemingly died out and all seem to
have given up the idea OF lynching.

Silver in HIS Skull.

Quincy, Ill, June 4.-The police
of this city arrested George Burns
last night and detained him at the
police station on account of his pc
cullar actions. It was discovered
that there was cause for his eccen-
tricity. He has papers which show
that he was the head engineer on
the steamer City of Savannah, which
was wrecked off the coast OF Massa-
chusetts on January Is, 1894, while
en- route from Boston to Florida.
He was reversing the levers when
the steamer struck the rocks, and he
was thrown into the machinery. re-
celving injuries which crippled him
for life. There were lis lives lost
in the accident and Burns is one of
the thirty seven survivors. For a
long while he lay on a cot in the
death row of Bellevue hospital, New
York, DR.. II. Agnew attended his
case, and removed FIVE ribs from his
left side aud trephined his skull,
using 6 ounces of silver sheeting for
this purpose. He was compelled to
wear plaster paris jacket for four
years after the accident. 4 portion
OF the lower end of his spine and
both elbow joints are gone. One
knee cap is on the back of his leg,
and his heart is on the extreme RIG ght

Facts About Wool.

The American wool reporter,
recognized and reliable authority on
all matters relating to the wool trade
makes this statement: Taking the
whole quantity OF carpets and car
peting, cloths, dress goods and yarns
together, the total amount brought
in thus far-by the United States
treasury reports for nine months Of
the present fiscal year-is only 7O,-
657, 1862 yards and pounds, against
S6,O42,463 yards aud pounds two
years ago. In other words, with
duties reduced so cts on goods,
there has been decidedly less of the
latter imported than was the case in
the corresponding time two years
AGO, even under the high rates then
prevailing"
The plain logic of these facts is
that vastly greater amount OF
goods are being manufactured In
this country under the new tariff
regulations. In other words, the
insane policy of taxing such raw ma
terials as are essential to the sue
csssful manufacture of wooler
fabrics. including carpets, to pro
bibition extent made it impossible
TO operate textile machinery in this
country, and the consumers of such
goods were compelled to appeal to a
foreign market for supplies. 1t viii
not be claimed that the consumption
has been less than during the nine
months just closed than for the cor
responding period last year. Sucl
an idea would be preposterous il

Woe for Chlnch Bugs.

Columbia, Mo, May 31.-Since
May l Dr. Paul Schwiestzy, chem
ist of the Missouri state expert
mental station, has been issuing
packages of diseased chinch bugs to
be distributed throughout the crops
of the state for the purpose of ere
ating an epidemic among the healthy
bugs, thus exterminating them.
Since that time DIR. Schwietzer has
received over 1000 letters asking for
infected bugs
Many of the letters, which came
from every county in Missouri, as
we'll as from adjoining states, de
clare that the chinch bugs are more
numerous this year than ever before
in the history of the state; that the
wheat crops are being literally de-
voured, and that it looks as if corn
would suffer the same fate. The ex
periments with the infection made
by the satation have proved thor
oughly successful on many of the
bugs. The presence of the disease
is demonstrated as external by the
appearance of liget colored fungus.
The disease is speedy in its action
and fatal in effect. The bugs swell
to comparatively enormous proper
tions and then burst open, death oc
curing a short while after the first
symptoms appear. Many letters
have been received from those fur.
nished with invested bugs stating
that the experiment has proven a
wonderful success aud expressing
the most profound gratitude,

view of the improved industrial
conditions and restored prosperity.
The only reasonable theory. there
fore, is that the difference is in the
fact that the domestic mills are now
supplying the goods.
As the domestic manufacture is
certain TO increase ia the future, it
would be we'll for capitalists to con.
slider the most available point for
manufacturing such goods. 1t is
we'll known that Texas, Californis,
Colorado and other western and
southwestern states and territories
are destined to be the future source
of supply of domestic wool, while
the foreign mixtures come with un-
important exceptions from Australia
Kansas City is much nearer, there
fore, to both sources of supply than
New England, and with the multi
plying population in the west it is
likewise nearer to the market for the
product. 1t would seem in view of
these facts that there would be
great opportunity for extensive
wooden mills in this town. At least
it is a subject worth careful consid
eration.-K. G.. Times.

POLL OF THE NEXT CONGRESS

How the Representatives Stand on
Silver Tariff and the Income Tax.
New York, June 1.-The World
tomorrow will publish telegraphic
poll OF the next Congress-, as far as
obtainabie, upon the silver, tariff
and income tax questions. The
World sums up the result as fol-
lows: I'm general way it may be
said that out of 116 members who
gave unequivocal answers to the sill
yer qustion fifty six are in favor of
free coinage, forty four favor bimet
alllsm generally, with the proviso
OF an international agreement, Only
seventeen can be fairly classed as
favoring single gold standard, and
the attitude of some of these even is
not definite.
"The South and far Western
States are almost unanimous for free
coinage. The Central States lean
toward silver, with international
bimetallic qualifications, and it is
only in New York, New England and
adjacent Eastern States that are any
avowedly gold standard men.
I'm regard to the tariff, only
twenty-eight members are against
any change, while thirty-eight are
pronounced for radical changes. A
few are free traders The moderates
are chiefly those who think changes
will be necessary in order to increase
revenues.
THE income tax question brought
out many sharp and piquant an
swers. Forty nine Congressman say
that they favor the principle of the
tax. Forty-seven oppose it. A great
many evaded the question or failed
to answer it.
"A few details by States will be
interesting. Alabama, Arkansas, Cal.
ifornia Colorado, Florida, Idaho,
Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, North
Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia,
Washington and Wyoming are solid
for silver, 50 far as heard from.
The bimetallists are chiefly in Del
aware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Vir
ginia. New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, Massachu
