In political conventions it Is a common
thing for the field 70 combine against the
candidate who has the largest number Of
votes. Thus II often happens that the
most popular candidate Is defeated. un-
less he wins the pr ~ on the 6rst ballot,
or comes so near to " thst opposition
s frultless As rule this combination
Of the field against thu leading caudi-
dates does not occur until the convention
meets The contest for state dslega ions
is free-for-all fght as rule, bnt tie
rule does not apply in the Republican
party iusC now. The Geld has already
combined against Mckinley. Hereafter
when he captures a state delegation he
will not simply have TO defeat one man
He will have TO defeat the whole crowd,
and when he gets to the convention he
will have to defeat them al over again,
for they are combined against him now,
aud will be when the convention meetF.
This makes McKinley's nomination
extremely doubtful In spite OF bis
Temporary success. His campaign mas

Disturbed at Having to Give Up Surplus
 Wives.
 OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, May 7-The Oklahoma courts have struck a puzzler in the Indian custom relating to plural marriages The law of Oklahoma is very severe on polygamists, and In. dians on reservations are not exempt from its operation. The Kickapoo bucks have an average of five squaws each. The Cheyennes and Arapahoes are nearly all polygamists, as are Kio- was, Apaches, Comanches and Wichi- tas. It is stated that the courts have decided to take action in the matter at once, unless polygamous practices cease. Capt. Woodson. of Anadarko agency, has issued orders commanding Indians of his agency, having several wives, to at once decide on the wife wanted and give up the others. No little uneasiness has resulted in all the polygamous tribe, as it is claimed by the Indians that one squaw cannot raise enough corn to support an ex- warrior in becoming dignity.

Hubbard, the executive front of the linseed oil trust, has succeeded, with the aid of the Pillsburys, in per. fecting the organization of the great. est millers' combine ever put together in this country. The purpose is to ad. vance the price of flour, to secure sat- isfactory rail and water transporta- tion rates and to compel every spring wheat grinder in the couu. try to become Q part of the pool. There are 800 spring wheat millers in the United States More than 100 have joined the new pool, which had its inception last fall, reached head last February and is now a bona fide or ganization. The pool has been in- corporated. Its name is the North American Milling Co. It is commonly known here, in St. Paul, Duluth and southern Minnesota as the American Milling Co. It is the successor of the southern Millers' association. Repre-. sentatives of the trust here claim tc represent 11O mills, having daily ca- pacity of lO5,O barrels. The whole aim of the organization is to protect the Touring interests of Minneapolis, now threatened by competition.

 KANSAS CIrY, Mo-, May GA letter from friend at Zeitoon, Asia Minor, bearing date of March 23. has been re. ceived by Kansas City woman, giving the following deplorable account of affairs in that country:
 There must be about 3,0O) people here very Ill with either typhus or dysentery. Food Is now plentiful for those who have money. but a good many people are living mainly upon the boiled leaves of the wild arum. have read of famine, but never before realized it's horrors. The ashy. shrunken faces and tottering steps of half the people on the streets, not to speak of the specters that lie grooming in almost every stable and den of the city bear ter- rible witness to the ordeal through which they have passed. The weather is still very cold. with raw wind that blows half gale. The city is still horribly filthy. although the car- casses of men and animals that lay in the streets upon the arrival of the consuls have been removed and the bodies buried in the stables have been exhumed and burned. The fever patients are from three to ten in every house. and even a larger number in some of the largest houses.
 Letters from Harpoot report that 60. 600 peo. pie from 2ss villages are receiving aid and that famine is inevitable, since these people are in danger of their lives when they undertake to till the soil There are l3,000 destitute people now being fed in Marash.
 The time has come for the earnest friends of to make permanent solution of the Armenian problem. Daily these poor people plead with our missionaries: Cant America do anything to rescue us-America, the worlds greatest champion of freedom? The European powers have abandoned us to our misery. Won't America save us nowg
 Make them understand our dying condition so that they may hasten to our deliverance. We are so grateful to them for saving so many of us from starvation. but they cannot always feed us. We want safety for our lives and so that we can work and take care nf ourSelyes
