SENECA, Mo-, June Rev.
Henry White, whose wife was
drowned in the awful flood here
Saturday has had narrow escape
from death. Rev. and Mrs. White
were married in New Jersey only a
few months ago. When he came
here to accept the pastorate OF the
M. E. Church they rented rooms In
the Dispatch building. Rev. and
Mrs. White were asleep when the
torrent struck the building and 1t
was carried away. Just before the
building went to pieces they
crawled out of q window and
plunged into the stream. Mr..
White Is a powerful swimmer and
managed to support his wife until
. floating log struck him on the
head and rendered him momen-
tarily unconscious. Just as he
regained consciousness he heard
the shrieks Of his wife as she went
down in the torrent for the last
time. The torrent swept him on
through the darkness but he
finally managed to reach the shore
and grouped his way back to town.

Spain Wants Cuba 0utlawed.

NEW YORK, June IA special
to the World from Madrid, Spain,
says: The Madrid government
has called the attention OF the
other European powers to the al
legged cruel and inhuman mode OF
warfare adopted by the insurgents.
Complaints have been made Of the
use OF dynamite to blow up rail-
road trains those carrying passen-
gers as we'll as freight and sugar
mills, and lots of explosives are
used In fighting.
The European governments have
instructed their consuls in Cuba, 1t
is stated, authoritively, to report
promptly and fully upon these
allegations. Spain hopes some &C
ton will be taken to declare the
insurgents pirates and malefactors,
unworthy the sympathy OF any
civilized nation.
AS soon as the papers in the
Competitor case reaches Madrid
mail, they are expected about June
4, they will be submitted to the
Supreme Court of Naval Appeals.
The impression in official circles is
that the sence OF the Havana court
martial is certain to be annulled,
on the ground that 1t is In viola
ton OF the treaty Of 1877 and the
case will be sent to an ordinary
courtmartial for trial, subject to
the action of that treaty.

THEY ARE ALL AFTER 1T
THAT PROPOSED MANUFACTURERS
TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA.
It Awakens Great Interest in Both CONT
nents-0ther South American Ooun-
tries Want the Commission
to Visit Them.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-Since
it was announced month ago that
the National Association OF Manu-
facturers had undertaken the Or
ganization of a party Of representa-.
tive business men, for the purpose
Of visiting South America this
summer, an extraordinary interest
in the project has been manifested
in this country. In South America
the projected visit has evoked the
interest OF those countries not con.
cerned in the tour to such an ex-
tent that efforts have been made
to secure a change in the itinerary,
or an extension OF the trip, 80 as to
secure an increase Of the scope OF
the trip of those appointed. There
is o request FOR the party to 20 to
the Mendoza province, in Argen-
tine, and now the Peruvian gov
eminent is anxious to have the
party include Peru in Its tour.
President Theodore Search, Of the
National Association Of Manufac-
turers, has Just received from the
department of state q copy OF q
letter from James Mckenzie, Unit
ed States minister to Peru, con.
tanning . pressing invitation from
the government Of Peru to the par.
ty that Is now being formed for
the South American trip.
"While 1t will be impossible for
our party to extend its trip and &C.
cept this invitation" said Mr..
Search, "still this expression Of
earnest desire was very interest
ing, as signifying the interest with
which this trip is viewed In South
America and the Importance that
is attached to II there. Our item
erary was made up weeks ago and
it is not possible to extend the
trip beyond the points already Sc
lected in Argentine, Brazil and
Uruguay. The interest which has
been manifested in this trip by
business men in every section Of
of the United States Is remarkable
and shows how eager are our peo-
pie to enlarge their foreign trade.
AS far as it has been made up our
party includes some Of the largest
and best known manufacturers in
this country, and those who have
not yet completed their arrange
ments for joining our party are OF
equal prominence in business cir
cles. There is every prospect that
the party will be thoroughly and
ably representative Of the manu-
facturers In the United States"

Oregon Elections Today.

PORTLAND, Ore, June lat
the elections which occurs today
one justice of the Supreme court is
the only state officer to be elected.
The congressman, and members OF
the legislature which will choose q
successor to Senator Mitchell In
the United States senate, will also
be elected.
In many counties party lines
are obliterated and this Is particu-
larly the case in this (Multono-
mah) country. There are two re.
publican tickets in the field, a
democrat, a populist ticket and a
number Of independent candidates.
1t is conceded that R. E. Bean,
republican candidate for Supreme
Judge, will be elected by ma
jority probably In excess Of 10000.
The legislature will probably be
republican by a good majority as
the republicans have to hold over
senators already. In the last
house the democrats were not
represented, while the populists
had only 6 out Of 60 the remain
ing 81 being republicans. The
greatest interest in the city cent
ers in the mayoralty contest. At
present il seems Ex-Governor Pen
noyer Is in the lead.

at Smiths drug store, at the corner
Of Ursulines and Galvez streets,

the corner OF Bsronne and Canal
streets.

short time before 8 o'clock and told
some one that she desired to go in
the confessional box. The priests
were busy at that time In the con.
fessional and Miss Kron sat down
In q pew. She swallowed the drug
and her condition was not discOv-
cred until some time after. 1t
was thought that she had been
overcome by fainting spell, and
she was moved to . spot where
she would get more air. The empty
bottle was found and DR.. Maybe
was summoned. Despite his Of
forts the young woman died and
her body was removed to the

her. The remains were subse.

nected with the firm OF G. F. Kron

The Parsons and the Storm.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The st. Louis
disaster furnished the theme for
many of the Sunday sermons in
Chicago. Few of the pastors tried
to explain it by the natural causes.
They stood appalled, at the loss OF
life, but they pointed out lessons
of hope from the great storm. 1t
was the general verdict that the
cyclone was a general punishment
for wickedness.
DIR. w. III. Thomas, of the Peo-
Plies church, suggested that IL pun
ishment was dealt out in this man
ner for the violation Of moral laws,
