CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. June %
Lookout mountain was stormed early
yesterday morning by 1000 Epworth
Deaguers, who took possession with
out opposition. At 2:3O the street
cars began to move the young Meth
odists toward the mountains. As the
cars ran through the city and suburbs
their occupants made the air resound
with old fashioned Methodist camp
meeting music. Darkness covered the
face of the mountain as they
reached its base, but that did not
deter them from their purpose With
gladstone song and hearty shout the
ascent was begun. On they went I'M
til a steady stream was scaling the side
of the historic old mountain. 1t was
a grand sight that the eye beheld as
the summit was reached. The az
sembled band of Wesleyan pilgrims,
representing almost every state in the
union and also the Dominion of Can
ada, reverentially uncovered their
heads and began their deTotions. Rev.

The Rich Senator's Widow Virtually De-
feats the Government In It's Test Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, July Limited
States Circuit Judge Ross Saturday
rendered his decision on the demurrer
of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford against the
suit of the government to recover S15,-
600, 600 from the estate of her late hus-
band, Leland Stanford. The de-
murrer was sustained. Judge Ross
allowed the government to amend
its former complaint and reargue
its case if it so desires. 1t was
intimated, however, that this step
would not affect the case, the law as
construed by Judge Ross not favoring
the case of the United States. Many
more millions were involved in the
suit, which was made a test case
against the Central Pacific magnates,
but the chief interest for the public
has been in the effect of the suit on
the great university established by the
senator in memory of his dead son.

Business is better, although the crop
outlook affecting prospects beyond the

There is more ground for doubt about
winter wheat and cotton than q week
ago, and threshing receipts are COM
paratively low, though the prospects
for spring wheat are exceedingly good.
The price, = cent lower for the week,
is beyond mistake 100 low, if the latest
impressions of injury to winter wheat
are correct. Receipts for the week are
relatively small, but for the four weeks
they have been ), 166, Ala bushels against
5,794, 52s bushels last year, while At
lantic exports, -four included, have
been for four weeks 4,912, 729 bushels
against 7,444, OO2 bushels last year.
Corn has declined a fraction and
pork is steady. Cotton has fallen 3-16
to : cents, in spite of reports of serious
injury by rains in Texas and Louisi-
ana. A light buying by northern
spinners surprises the market, for
their takings have been more than
enough for the years consumption,
and returns show great decrease in
exports of cotton goods
Speculation has even spread to the
wool market and with an advance of

PUT IN PRISON.
American Yachtsmen Imprisoned by Span
iards in Cuba.

III
New ORLEANS, June 29.-Ex-Commo-
dore W. A. Gordon, of the Southern
Yacht club, has received a cable dis
patch from attorneys in Havana stat
ing that the yacht Nepenthe has been
seized by the Spanish authorities and
that her owners, George Agar and
Bishop Dudley, have been imprisoned.
Both of these men are prominent in
social and business circles of this city,
being members of the cotton and sugar
exchanges. The Nepenthe left here a
few weeks ago on a cruise along the
Florida coast, and then sailed across
to Cuba. 1t is said that the yacht was
overhauled by Spanish gunboat and
lowed into Havana.
Although the cable is very brief, it is
supposed from its tenor that the yacht
was suspected of carrying a flibuster-
ing expedition. There are several
others in the party besides the two
owners, but it is not known whether
they were all placed in confinement
The seizure of the yacht and imprison-
ment of her owners created great eX-
element when the fact became known
and steps were at once taken to lay
the matter before Secretary Olney.

that many members of the city

treasurer had was a slip in the cash
drawer indicating the amount due the
city on the /. o. us. Cash was missing
TO the amount of $4,000. Since then
this has been reduced two-thirds by the

WASHINGTON, June 29.-For some
time the head of the passport bureau
of the state department has been mys-
titled by receiving demands from per-
sons in various towns ann cities for a
prompt reply to their applications for
passports or the return of the money
sent to the department. In each case
investigation failed to show that any
such applications have been received.
1t was apparent that stealing was
done somewhere. and after close
watching Kirk McMurtrie, messenger
boy, whose duty it was to get the mail
AID carry it to the passport bureau,
Was suspected. 1t was found he had
been INDUCING in lavish expendi-
lures and generally had money to
spend. The amount lost is not yet
known, but it is certain to be well up
into the hundreds of dollars from the
number of complaints received. 1t is
said that on last Saturday eighteen
letters, each inclosing 81, were alb
stracted. McMurtrie has been dis
charged.
