No Money With which to Pay Salaries
OF Employees.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Having been plum
dered by the sandbagging combine in
the City Council, squeezed by city Off
cials and plucked by corporations, Chi
cago is now flat broke.'
She will now try to borrow money
from New York. The city is now in
the condition of the man who issues
I. 0. US against salary not earned or
due. The city proposes to issue script
based on the tax levy of 1895. The first
will be a 'feeler" of 100000 and it is
expected to sell at par. This script car
S50O.0 goes all right 81, 0O0, 900 more will
be issued. These Liens are called war;
rants,' and under law to sustain credit
the city can issue up TO So, 900, ,000 OF this
stuff. 1t is proposed to receive bids for
them.
Comptroller Wetherell said to-day that
he had no money to pay city employees,
and, after carefully looking over the
ground, there was nothing for it but
to issue the script. The warrants are
drawn against taxes already levied for
the payment of the necessary expenses
of the city, and are payable one
year from their date. 1t is proposed
to advertise the first half million
in this city. Should the result not
be all that is expected an attempt will
be made to float the warrants in New
York. The first issue will be open to
all bidders. There was some talk of TAX
ing the entire issue to New York.

ATLANTA, Aug. l5.-William r. Morri-
son of Illinois, whose nomination for the
Presidency was recently suggested by
Senator Hill of New York, disclaims the
sincerity of that gentleman in an inter
view here to-day. "a Western man with
the interest of the South at heart" said
he, would combine the estranged wings
of the party. It would be the salvation
of the present antagonism.
But Mr.. Hill wants the Presidency
himself. When the time comes and all
the conditions are ripe, he will appear in
all his glory. Just now he wants all the
New Workers to put on the soft pedal
when it comes to his name. in order that
he may set his traps. He hopes to turn
attention from Whitney and from Cleve-
land, too, for that matter, before the sem
timent OF the East becomes crystsllized.
This once accomplished. Mr.. Hill could
maneuver with impunity and could ac-
complish unobserved much towards
clinching his own campaign.
1T is too early to speak definitely in
regard to the Presidency. 1 have the
most ssnguine hopes, in spite OF the gen.
eral disorder. My position is we'll known.

GOOD CROPS IN NEBRASKA,
The Yield Enough to Compensate for
Last Years Losses.

The Yield Enough to Compensate for
Last Years Losses.
OMAHA, Aug. 15.-At Loup City to-day
the party of Eastern land agents now in
specting the prolific crops in the region
traversed by the Burlington system was
entertained by the residents OF Sherman
County in the same hall from which, all
last winter, 800 farmers and their families,
temporarily ruined by the drouth, were
fed and clothed from the bountiful charity
contributed by the East.
To-day many of these selfsame farmers
reported that their harvest of all grain
had been more than large enough to COM
pensate for the loss Of last year, and that
the crop Of corn was over-abundant and
that difficulty might be experienced in
getting it in. Acknowledgment was also
made of the fact that the entire crop of all
grains had been grown from seed do
mated by the farmers of the East and
Southwest.
A small exhibit of vegetables and grain
on the stock, which has decorated the
walls of the hall, and which had been
gathered hap-hazard from neigh boring
farm, was declared to be larger than the
entire county display at last lalps fair.
Ihe route to-day covered the territory
east OF Broken Bow, on the Billings ex-
tension and through the Platte and Loup
Valleys. In every county the corn in
the field was prolific and in the best Of
condition, while the farmers estimated
the yield of spring wheat, oats and alfalfa
as being beyond all expectations.

VANCOUVER (B. c., Aug. 15.-Latess
advices from the Orient by steamer. un-
der date Of August I'd, are to the effect
that Japan was visited by terrible
storm on the 9th and 25th of July. These
hurricanes swept across kiusha, passed
along the shores of the island sea. crossed
over the central districts OF the main
island, and emerged into the Pacific
Ocean. Its track was marked by loss OF
| life and destruction OF property, and as
the catastrophe was followed by heavy
rainstorm, foundations added their de-
vastating effects to the havoc wrought by
the wind. 1t is calculated that over
thousand people were killed or drowned.
Ujina, the town that served as
military basis during the recent
war. felt the full force of the
tempest. The place was completely
swamped by the sea, and over 100 boats
were smashed. Among these boats were
100 belonging to the Armor Store Depart
ment. They were laden with supplies
destined for the use of the troops in the
Lilo Tung peninsula.

BARBADOS (West Indiesl, Aug. b.
Breaches of international law, like fill
clustering expeditions. seem to be on the
increase in the Caribbean Sea, and the
latest. as we'll as one likely to attract very
considerable attention in both hemi
spheres, is the firing upon British
schooner in British waters by Vene-
zuelan gunboat.
The Captain Of the schooner Ellen.
which is owned and sailed by M. Truelo,
Britisher, and registered at Trinidad,
has sworn to statement that he was on
voyage from Trinidad to Maturn, and
when within two miles of Trinidad 8
eneZuelan guard coast cruiser fired a
shot at his vessel. A British ensign was
sent up. but no notice was taken of 1t.
He kept the vessel on its course, believ-
ing it would be all right, when the Vene-
zuelan sent a shot through the schooner's s
sails.
There were several passengers on
board, and they, as we'll as the crew, be-
came SO scared that they threw them
selves down upon the deck to escape the
shot which was raking the vessel. He
was compelled to "heave to-" and the
Venezuelan came alongside. Captain
Truelo and the crew were forced to enter
a small boat, and were kept there for
nearly four hours, when they were again
released. In the meantime the Venezue-
Ian bad searched the ship, but finding
nothing to delay her, they were allowed
to continue the voyage.
The Captain says had it not been for
the earnest entreaty of his passengers he
would have laid complaint before his
Government. The Captain adds that be-
fore leaving Trinidad he had not only OBJ
tanned his papers from the custom-house,
but also the certificate of the Venezuelan
consular agent.
The Trinidad Government has reported
the matter to the London Colonial Office,
and the sequel is anxiously awaited.

THREE PLAIN PRESIDENTS.

President Cleveland is an austere
man, exclusive and hard to approach.
He talks, or rather writes pathetically
of the hardships of the poor and his
sympathieS for the commolality, but
his life and associations stand no good
warrant for his profeSSed sentiments.
For many months it has been notorious
that his steps are guarded by detec-
tives who act as body guard. 1t is a
matter of record that General Grant
used to walk down Pennsylvania
avenue every morning smoking his
cigar, says a correspondent L
have known him to stop number Of
school children, who had no idea to
whom they were speaking, and ask in
the most informal way about their
parents. Mr.. Lincoln, when he was
president, acted like an ordinary Amer
lean citizen, although in the hearts Of
the people and under the fiercest light
Of history he ranks second to none.
President Harrison used to walk the
street unattended. If Mr.. Cleveland
would take Ruth by the hand and walk
two or three blocks each day among
the people of Washington, as other
presidents almost without exception
have done, he would not need to go to
BuZzard's Bay to recuperate and re-
main six months from his post Mrs.
Cleveland would find it very pleasant
if she were little freer and more in
formal with the good people of Wash
ington, many of whom in point of birth,
education, breeding, position, gifts or
anything, can hold their own with any
president or presidents wife.
Chester A. Arthur was especially free
and cordial In his intercourse with the
good people of Washington. They
never harmed him. Two detectives,
armed 10 the teeth, never followed him
when he rode or walked. l have heard
that he actually went fishing once with
a crooked pin for hook with little
Sam Randall in the lake in the White
House grounds. Sam didn't know
whom he was talking to. and President
Arthur found out by clever questioning
that the little boy to whom he took
such fancy was the son of one of his
ableSt and strongest opponents on the
floor of the house. This made no diff
ference to the president, however, for
the next day he called his carriage and
took the delighted little Sam down the
Potomac on fishing expedition with
him when both had good hooks.

WICHITA WATER.

The latest western underground lake
fake has come up from Wichita That
enterpris.ng and up-to-date newspaper.
the Eagle, discovered a body OF water
thirty feet deep at depth Of from thirty
TO forty feet beneath the surface. The
discovery was teiegraphed all over the
country and great interest was awakened
in geological circles.
Mr.. Robert T. Hill of the United States
geological survey now comes TO the front
with the declaration that such lake is
impossible.
II now remains for the Eagle to come
to the front with additional evidence to
prove the fact of the existence of its geo.
logical phenomenon. 1t is possible that
the well-driver on whose statements the
Eagle based its story ran his drill into
a assure in the underlying rock filed with
water. However that may be, the Eagle
will have to produce some eyeless fish and
a few trifles of evidence of similar nature
before its fairy tale will be accepted

THE WEST IS THE CENTER

Westward the star of Empire takes
its way, and the center of population
and political power follows 1t, and will
follow until the center Of the continent
is also the center IN all other respects.
Utah has adopted her state constitu-
ton, elected state officers and formally
inaugurated her statehood. And it is
Republican, silver Republican. They
made a good beginning by choosing a
Republican governor and other state
officers. by electing Republican rep
resentative in congress and legisla-
ture which will be Republican in both
branches, thus insuring the election Of
two Republicans to the United States
senate. Utah thus takes its place in
the Republican column of the west.
There is something in the air in the
prairie and mountain states that makes
Republicanism thrive. From Lake
Erie to the Pacific there is a Republi-
can zone that includes every state
across the continent. Utah, in natural
resources, in climate, in the thrift and
industry of its population, will prove
rich and prosperous state and a valu-
able accession to the Republican cause.
