Murder at Donaldson.

PLYMOUTH, Ind, July 18.-At Donald
son, eight miles east in this county,
John Allen and John Rowell, both
drunk, assaulted Samuel J. Burgner,
the leading storekeeper in the town, in
the postotfice. Seeing that he was cor
nered, Burgner drew his revolver and
fired four shots, one taking effect i'll
Rowell's head, from which he will die.
The fight is the result of a trial for
larceny, in which Burgner was the
principal witness against these men, he
claiming that he had been tied hand
and foot and gagged by them some
months ago. They were acquitted, and
since then have repeatedly threatened
Burgner's life. Allen has been arrested
and is now in Jail.

Plenty of Lumber,

New ORLEANS, July 1S.-The current
issue of the Lumber Trade Journal OF
this city shows that there is standing
today in the forests of the south 1000.
600, 100000 feet of available lumber OF
all kinds, which, when manufactured
into lumber, will represent 10000, 0O0,-
900. 1t is also shown that the annual
creation of wealth drought the lumber
production far exceeds that of every in.
dustry save agriculture. The south has
enough timber, according to these esti-
mates, to supply the markets for gen.

No European Powers Will support uel

New YORK, July 1S.-A dispatch t
The World from Madrid says:
The Spanish government, it is learned
positively does not intend to adopt the
suggestion of the opposition, nor yield
to the popular clamor for an alliance
with France and Russia. Spanish di-
plomacy has found out again that both
those powers would accept Spain will
ingly as ally on European and African
questions, but neither Russia nor
France would like to go beyond the
mildest and most platonic mediation
between Spain and the United States
III regard to the Cuban question.
The Madrid government will take no
ostenslble step, it is understood, to
solicit European support as long as it
can keep up appearances of friendly re-
lations with the United States. But at
the same time it will try to arrange
concerted action by all the European
powers to put pressure upon the United
States If 1T should be necessary to let
Spain settle her differences with Cuba
on the understanding that she shall give
TO the European powers and the United
States explicit official assurance of her
intention to grant autonomy to Cuba
after pacification, and to
Porto Rico as sine qua non condition
OF the moral support of the European
powers

UNUSUALLY GLOOMY
Has Been the Week in Specu-
lative Circles.
POLITICS LARGELY TO BLAME.

Wheat Market Well Supported, Despite
Wooden Manufacture in "a Waiting Atti-
tude, Pig Iron Output Decreased, While
Cotton Registers a Slight Dec line.
NEW YORK, July lS.-R. G.. Dun g.
Company's weekly review of trade says:
| Disapproval of the action of the Chicago
| convention has had some influence in
| the markets the past week, but far
more important factor has been the feel
ing that the financial future is still un-
| certain This acute attack of doubt.
coming at time when business is for
other reasons seriously depressed, has
made the week unusually gloomy in
speculative circles. The wheat market
has been remarkably well supported
despite very favorable government re-
port and prices are shade higher than
a week ago. Western receipts of wheat
have been 1851 1913 bushels, against
| ,4S5, 349 for the same weeks of July
last year, and Atlantic exports, flour in.
cluded, have been l,4S5,9S1 bushels,
against only 547,O for the same weeks
last year. These and other reports do
not indicate a small yield.
Cotton has fallen about half a cent in
options and one-quarter in spot prices,
holders i'll large quantities in eXpecta-
ton of cotton famine in July, having
changed their minds. The closing of
about three-quarters of the southern
mills and half the northern in produc-
ing capacity pending the new crop will
help to prevent a disastrous decline in
prices of goods, but the yield is likely to
be more than 100000 bales The de-
crease i'll consumption here is not as yet
effective i'll helping the prices of cotton
goods, which are still selling at about
the lowest quotations ever made.
The wooden manufacture is waiting
and as new orders are exceedingly slow,
the sales of wool at the three chief mar
kets were for the week only 2,155, 100
pounds. There is no change in prices,
and western holders are still asking
higher prices than eastern markets can
pay.
The output Of pig iron July was
lSO,532 tons weekly, against 1872, 22O
June and III, l94 tons year ago.
The decrease since the maximum was
reached, Nov. |, 1906 tons weekly,
has been material and yet stocks are
rapidly accommodating, those held by
producers, not including the great steel
companies, amounting to Sl5,S72 tons,
an increase of 20, 929 tons for the month
of June, or about 1000 tons per week,
which indicates a consumption of less
than $4,000 tons. The demand for fin
ished products of iron and steel is ex-
tremely narrow, but III bars the combi-
nation has found itself unable to main
tain prices, and there are renewed re-
ports that the great decrease i'll sale of
nails will force a reduction of price
Aug. /. Bessemer pig has not changed
in nominal quotation at Pittsburg, al
though several individual low sales at
indianapolis and Pittsburg are reported.
The average of iron and steel prices is
the lowest since year ago.
Failures for the week have been 300
in the United States, against 256 last
year, and 80 i'll Canada, against 80 last

RATE WAR STILL ON.
seaboard Air Line Makes Cuts in Freight
and Passenger Rates.


ATLANTA, July 1S.-The Seaboard Air
Line announces cuts in both freight and
passenger rates, beginning today. This
is the beginning of what threatens to be
bitter rate war, in which southern and
western rates will be badly demoralized.
The passenger rate is cut by the Sea-
board from $24 to $15 from Atlanta to
New York, and it is quietly given out
that this is but starter.
Freights are cut fully 20 per cent into
Atlanta from Baltimore. Commissioner
Haynes of the Southern States Freight
association would not authorize the as
ISOLATION lines to meet the cut. He was
waiting to hear from Vice President st.
John of the Seaboard. The commits
sioner will make some announcement at
once, he stated.
Inasmuch as he has called meeting
of the executive board for Tuesday next
at Atlanta, it is probable that he will
direct the lines to maintain the standard
tariff until the board acts.

STEEL FOR BIKES.
Entire output For More Than "a Year Al
ready Placed.

BUFFALO, July 1S.-The bicycle craze
i'll this country has proven bonanza
for the American agents of the English
steel firms, and the majority of whom
are located in this city and New York.
Several of these agents give it out that
the entire output for the present year
and up to the close of 1897 of the plants
that they represent has already been
placed and that they are daily refusing
orders. The applications also have al
ready been received for 1898, but, ow-
ing to the possibilities of changes in the
price before that time, these
are only being filed for such future ac-
ton as the market may dictate.

LAUGHLlN MUST DIE.
The Kentucky Family Murderer Gets the
Death Penalty.

AUGUSTA, KY, July 18.-The jury in
the Laughlin murder trial brought in a
verdict of guilty, after having been out
only 1 hour and 20 minutes. Punish
ment was fixed at death. Laughlin re.
ceived the verdict in the same indiffer-
ent and surly manner that has char
acterized his position all through the
trial. Not tremor or change of coun-
tenance was visible at any time, but he
sat looking steadily at the floor, even
when his old mother and father were
giving vent to their long pent-up grief.
Laughlin's crime was committed Feb.
16, last. He Drained his wife and his
niece, Mary Jones, with poker, and
then set fire to the house. His ram
bling story about robber having done
the deed did not receive credence, and
he confessed soon after his arrest. He
was taken to Maysville for safekeep-

ONE DOZEN LETTERS
Cover in Full the Venezuelan
Correspondence.
LITTLE HOPE OF ARBITRATION.

But a Sensible Advance in That Direction
Is the Most Notable Feature of the Mat
| ter-Olney and Salisbury WORLDLY Wide
Apart in Views Looking to the Desired
Peace Settlements.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The CORE.
spondence which has passed between
the governments of the United States
and Great Britain respecting the estab-
lishment of general system of arbitra-
ton for the settlement of any disputes
which might arise between the two
countries, and also for the settlement
by arbitration of the disputes over the
Venezuelan boundary, has been made
public i'll the shape of an even dozen
letters which have been exchanged this
year between Secretary Olney, Lord
Salisbury, Sir Julian Paunceforte and
Ambassador Bayard. The correspond
ence is of ereat interest as making a
sensible advance toward the adoption
by the two English-speaking nations of
the principle of arbitration as the means
of settling disputes between themselves,
but the persons who have looked for
ward with hope and expectancy to the
speedy conclusion of treaties embodying
the arbitration principle for the settle
ment of either or both of the two great
open issues between the two nations
are doomed to disappointment.
For at the date of exchange of the last
note, one from Secretary Olney to the
British ambassador here, dated within a
month past, points of the most vital
nature not only of the Venezuelan ques-
ton specifically but the general arbitra-
ton proposition as well were still the
subj Nct of discussion without much ex-
pectation of an early adjustment.
Notable features of the correspondence
are the fact that whereas Mr.. Bayard by
instruction of Secretary Olney proposed
negotiations at Washington respecting
the Venezuelan boundary dispute, Lord
Salisbury broadened it into general
arbitration scheme, following a lead
made by the late Secretary Gresham i'll
the spring Of 1895; that Secretary Omey
later insisted upon disassociating the
two subjects, evidently fearing an en-
tangling alliance otherwise; that as
to general arbitration the issues
which still prevent an agreement
are the indisposition of the Brit
ish government TO include territori-
al disputes save with the addition of
provisions that. in the estimation of
Secretary Olney, will render the at
tempt at arbitration nugatory, because
there are no means of making the find
ings of the arbitrators binding upon the
parties, or of removing them from the
possibility of infinite appeals. AS to
the Venezuelan matter specifically the
that can not be overcome is
the refusal of the British to subject to
the action of the arbitration the terri
tory upon which British subjects have
actually settled. limitation arbitra-
ton" is what Secretary Olney desig-
mates Lord Salisbury's project, while
the British premier criticizes Secretary
Olney's plan as calculated to result in |
evils worse than war in the institution |

Grain Rates Cut.

GALVESTON, July 18.-The Santa Fe

grain rates from points north of Arkan-
sas City, Kan, to Galveston, effective
July Is, on corn and wheat for export,

100 pounds. This will make the average
rate on wheat from southern Kansas to
Galveston between "a and ~ cents, and
the corn rates from the same points
from 20 to "a cents. This action is in

some time ago that the Santa Fe would
