Morgan Roasts Cleveland.

Gh yFIN, Ga, July 1S.-The
principal event of the Georgia Free
silver convention held here was
the speech of Senator Morgan of
Alabama. Senator Morgan began
by saying he came to the meeting
as a Democrat, In Democratic
harness by authority Of settled
creed to advocate Democratic prin-
ciples as old and as sound as the
great National party" The Sem
ator said he, as a Democrat, advo-
Gated the re-enactment Of the free
coinage law of 1887. He contended
that the Democratic party, aided
by a small band Of intrepid Repub-
licans had since 1873 restored silver
to its former rights except that OF
free coinage. Speaking OF Secre-
tary Carlisle the Senator said he
was not chosen as a cabinet officer
until he had changed front on
the silver question. Mr.. Morgan
criticised the bond issue and said
the necessity for such issue was
found in the tinkering with the
Sherman law. He said the con-
tract for the sale of these bonds
was without a precedent or justifi-
cation and it has an odious flavor
of subserviency when it pays
foreign syndicate to prevent a
run upon our treasury for gold. He
combatted what he termed the
false idea invented by Shermen
and adopted by Cleveland, "That
it is the duty of the government to
preserve a parity between the
metals by adjusting their coinage
to meet fluctuations in their COM
mercial value. England, he said,
"wanted gold because she was the
largest creditor Of the nation and
killed silver to get rid Of the partly
ISSUE" Referring to the large
opening Of American minis and
coming silver, that would make
this country the dumping ground
OF the world. Morgan said: "Wtth
some it is an idle apprehension OF
danger and with others the conven-
tional stalking horse of false pro-
phecy.n Senator Morgan concluded
as he had begun, that the Demo-
cratic party was a friend of silver.

Defender Will Have to Sail Fast
to Win,

NEW YORK, July 19.-Yachts from
all parts of this vicinity are making
for Sandy Hook today to be. ready
for the three special races arranged
by the New York Yacht club be-
ginning tomorrow and taking
place Monday and Tuesday, in
which the Defender and Vigilant
will take part. The immense sum
OF money George Gould has spent
in improving the Vigilant makes
him and her friends think
that she will give good account
of herself. This coupled with the
fact that the Defenders crew is
still to be drilled in the boats
style and that her new sails have
not yet become properly "set,"
makes it not unlikely that the van
quisher of Valkyrie will be first
over the finishing line. Perhaps
the Colonia and Jubilee will also
take part, but this is not certain.
Some yachting sharps do not be-
lieve the big single stickers will
come together before the real trial
races in September. Experience OF
other years, they say, shows that
the cup defenders have seldom met
before September, no matter how
much talk there was during the
summer.

sTAMBoULoFFs MURDER.
The Tone of the English and Ger
man Press Upon the Murder
Reflects Heavily Upon
Ferdinand,

Ferdinand.
LONDON, July 1S.-A Sofia dis
patch to the Standard says: pub
lie opinion points to Haloff, Nikola,
Tufektchieff and Ivanoff as the as.
sassins of M. Stambouloff. 1 am
informed that the government has
decided to rearrest Tufektcbieff,
who was liberated on Tuesday.
Stambouloff had always designated
the brothers Tufektchieff as the as
sassins of Beltcheff. The govern
ment organ, Mir, suggests that
SHAREHOLDERS servant and some
members of his party committed
the crime. A letter signed by six.
teen violent Russophiles has been
sent to Radoclavoff, who Is chief of
the anti.Russian party, containing
a menace to blow up his home"
The Times this morning says |:
"Stambouloff was one of the most
brilliant statesmen produced in
the Balkans in the last century.
With little OF the veneer of civili-
zation, with little distinction or re-
finement, he concealed beneath q
rough exterior a natural tender
ness and delicacy of feeling which
only those who knew him init
mately could appreciate. There
was no humbug or affectation
about him. He was a man, and a
great man. Whatever his defects
may have been, there never was a
doubt Of his patriotism and his de-
votion to his country"
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times says: "Reports were circu-
lated today that Prince Ferdinand
had abdicated the rulership OF
Bulgaria and that the Austrian
government had sent a circular to
the powers on the subject of Bull
garia. The reports, though they
effected the money markets, were
given no credence to elsewhere. l
am informed on good authority
that the murder of Stambuloff will
probably not lead to the interven-
ton Of the powers"
The Vossische Zeitung says that
curses and everlasting shame will
cling to the Bulgarian government
which certainly had share in the
assassination and which knew Of
the murderous plots, yet did moth
ing to hinder notorious murderers
from moving freely about Sofia.
"If any ordinary Citizen" the
newspaper goes on to say, chad
been incriminated as Prince Fer
dinand has been, he would have
been arrested.
Prince Ferdinand for to wear a
European crown! He must fall.
The National Zeitung says: "The
name Of Bulgaria will henceforth
be expressive only for the most
contemplate ingratitude and the
most pitiful depravity. This mon
strosity called state cannot live"
The Standard says: "Berlin COM
ments as follows upon the above
two extracts; an idea Of the tone Of
press comments can be formed. In
diplomatic and official circles, how
ever, calmer counsel prevails"

LIBERALS STILL LOSING.

They Fail Even worse In the Coun-
try Than in the Towns.
Even Swansea is on
the List.
NEW YORK, July ia special
to local paper from London says:
'"The country districts turnout
even more uniformly worse for the
Liberals than the borroughs did.
There now have been ten Liberal
rural seats heard from and nine are
losses. At the present the Tory
majority has mounted to 81 and
there Is no reason why 1t should
not reach 140 or even more. When
places like Swansea and Cardiff,
which have been unfailingly Liber-
al since tho reform bill Of 1882, go
Tory, anything can happen.
John Morley's defeat at New
Castle will undoubtedly be fol-
lowed by Asquith's defeat in Fife.
There is a belief among Mr.. More
ley's friends that he will retire de-
finitely from public life. Certainly
Asquith will be in no such mood
and a seat elsewhere will be found
for him without delay. The news
of the success Of Campbell Banner
man, ex-secretary of state for war,
in Stirling, was loudly cheered at
the Liberal club and speculations
were rife IL he would contest the
leadership Of the party in the new
house with Harcourt and Asqu 18th,
though it seems a poor enough
honor to struggle for.

There Should BE No Loss From the Sioux

Boston, April 15.-Treasurer Holden

company, whose failure was reported
from Sioux City, was seen by a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press. Mr..
Howe said:
The total liabilities of the company

clude 10 different pieces Of property,
besides building land, which in good
times should bring 81, 100000. The prop.
crty, exclusive of the land, is assessed
at over $1,O00,O00. There are no
reasons why, with judicious manage
nlent, and if the company is not im-
peded by lawsuits, the stockholders
should not get excellent returns for
their investments. Some Of our execu-
tive officers are now on their way to
Sioux City and we are waiting to hear
from them"

HILL ON THE INCOME TAX.
Az Construed It Will Not Bear Heavily
on New Workers..

Az Construed 1t Will Not Bear Heavily
on New Workers..
NEW York, April 15.-Referring to
the decision of the United States su-
pre1ne court in relation to the income
tax, Senator Hill says. II have venti-
lated my views concerning the tax
pretty thoroughly. Twas gratified with
the finding Of the court as far as it
went, but believe that the whole tax,
instead Of part, should be declared un-
constitutional. The tax is manifestly q
direct tax, and as such is unconstitu
tional. The tax is not a Democratic
measure from any point Of view. 1t is
more Of Pop1listic law than anything
else 1t seems to be compromise measure
to secure votes of an element in the
country antagonistic to all existing
conditions. The finding of the court
will directly knock out just the part of
the law that these people were urging,
and will prove Of more benefit to New
York state, perhaps, than any other
state in the union. In New York nearly
all the municipal and state bonds are
held, and in this city also are the big
landed estates. The main features Of
the law are therefore wiped out and the
party gets nothing for it's pains.

TITLES ARE DEFECTIVE.

Sioux City Property Owners Excited Over
a Discovery.
Sioux CITY, Ia., April 15.-Great ex-
element has been caused here by the
belief among property holders that the
titles to all the property in the business
part Of the city are defective. Accord
ing to the records the original plat is
situated on section 16, while in reality
the town is in section 18. All the de-
scriptions in the deeds to the property
are consequently worthless. The
trouble is further complicated by the
failure of Henry Alden, the founder Of
the town, to sign the plat, and the
omission Of the surveyor who laid out
the place to survey it to correspond
with the government survey. There is
talk Of an effort by the original owners
to force all present occupants of the
property to vacate. An interesting liti-
CATION is in prospect.

FIELD WILL NOT RETIRE.

The Noted Supreme Court Justice Has

SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-Local
Democrats do not look upon the retire.
ment of Justice Stephen j. Field as
likely to take place soon. The pressure
that is being brought to bear to induce
him to retire, they say. may be true,
but when it would be as u punishment
for doing what he considered his duty,
they think he will hardly yield. Some
time ago Field made known his inten-
ton of retiring He changed his mind,
but that circumstance gave credit to the
rumor that he was about to yield to
the demands of his enemies and carry
out his first decision.
Judge Field will not retire. was

quite certain that Mr.. Field had abso-
lutely no Intention O. retiring. He too,
however, favors Judge Wallace as

COMPLICATIONS Will ARISE. Vi


Dissatisfaction Over Department. Order
s2 Regarding White Earth Lands.
WHITE EARTH, Mimi, April 15.-The
Chippewa commission has received in
structions from Washington to allot no
lands to persons Of mixed white and
Indian blood who have had scrip issued
to them under former treaties, and to
c,ncel the allotments already made to
such persons. The enforcement Of such
an order will work great hardship i'll
many cases, and serious complications
may arise in consequence. The act of
Jan. Ia, 1889, under which so much
money has been expended, required the
assent Of two-thirds Of the Indians to
become law. A bare two-thirds ma
jorlty was obtained and the withdrawal
of p.holders under former treaties
from participating i'll the benefits of
the act will necessarily invalidate their
signatures to the same, and their num-
Der is sufficient to make the act null
and void

that Colorado cattle are doing finely.
But for the unfortunate sand storm of
a week ago the loss in Colorado would
have been practically nothing. Re-

way from 10 to 20 per cent Of loss. The
average is put for the northwest por-
tion Of the state at less than 15 per
cent, while down in the Arkansas val
lev the loss will not exceed 8 per cent.
