WASHINGTON, Sept t0--The treasury

lumber of requests asking for silver
lollars of this years coinage for silver
certificates or other lawful money.
Many of these requests come from per

others ask for shipments of 1896 dollars

30, 5OG, 800 in free silver. that is, silver
which may be obtained in ex-
change for any lawful money,
but the demand just now is so
seen for 1896 dollars that it seems
pro obabe that by the beginning OF Oc-
tober the department will be compelled
- decline to pay out silver dollars, ex.
sept in exchange for silver certificates
or treasury notes of 1890. The law re.
luires certain amounts of silver to be

sweeping Decision Aimed at the Kansas
City Live Stock Exchange.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 10.-By a
decision rendered yesterday the appel
late court of the state of Kansas says
that the Kansas City Live Stock ex
change is illegal, and has no legitimate
existence. 1t goes further and says
that its existence is contrary to the
statutes of the state, and that in con-
sequence thereof person or firm, "A
member of the exchange, cannot sue
for rights under its contract with that
body, because such contracts are not
legal, and are therefore null and
void, and cannot be recognized by
the courts. The matter came up
on an appeal from the district
court of Wvandotte county. Greer,
Mills & Co. sued to enjoin the ex.
change from suspeuding them from
membership because of their failure to
pay fine of 81, 900 for violation of the
rules in regard to commission charges
in the purchase of stock. The district
court refused the injunction and an ap-
peal was taken. The appellate court
bases its decision on the fact that the
rules of the exchange with reference
to commission charges and other mat.
ters concerning the commission busi.
ness are illegal and in violation of law.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 12.-The middle
of-ths-road wing OF the Popuiist party
OF Kansas, which came out yesterday

yentlon to nominate Bryan and Watson
electors, has developed "a split before it
could effect an organization. j. F..

rod Populists from putting a Watson
electoral ticket in the field. Chairman

in behalf of the Democratic PopuEst
fusion ticket. He is said to have pro-
posed to Mr.. Watson that they submit
the whole matter TO a joint committee
of the Democratic and Pupulfst national
executive committee, and that Mr.. Wat

HENRY 3. PAYNE DEAD.
The Ohio Public Man and Financier a Vic
tim of Paralysis.

The Ohio Public Man and Financier Vic-
tim of Paralysis.
CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 10. 1O.-Ex-Senator
Henry B. Payne died yesterday from
a stroke of paralysis sustained several
days ago. Henry b. Payne was born
in Madison county, N. Y, November
80, 1870 In 1916 hemorrhages of the
lungs compelled him to abandon his
chosen profession, the law, and he em.
barked in railroad, manufacturing and
mercantile enterprises. Mr.. Payne:
first political preferment was when he
was chosen to the state senate as a
democrat, in lS49, where he
served that year and the next.
In 1851 he was the candidate of
his party for the United States senate,
but was beaten, and in 1851 Salmon
y. Chase defeated him for governor by
a narrow margin. He was chairman
of the Ohio delegation in the 1872
Baltimore convention. Two years
later he was elected to congress, where
he was chairman of the electoral bill
commission, and also of the electoral
commission. In 1880 he was an un.
successful candidate for the presiden.
tial nomination. In 1884 Mr. Payne
was elected to the United States sen.
ate to succeed George ii. Pendleton.
When his term expired in 1891 he re.
tired to private life. He had accumu.
lated a fortune estimated in the mil,
Lions. Much of his means he devoted
to philanthropic enterprises.

PESTS ON THE WING.

Mud wasps manifest great ingenuity,
not only in building their nests, but in
placing them in localities where they
will not be injured by rain or preda-
,ious animals.
The wasp, like the bee and almost
every other insect. is infested with para
sites. Wasps have been captured which
had two or three dozen parasites cling
ing TO their bodies.
The eye of fly is so constructed as TO
bring the entire horizon within his
circle of observation; fact which ex-
plains the extreme alertness of these in
sects in escaping attack.
The common cheese fly is only tenth
of an inch long, 1t deposits about $50
eggs in the cracks of cheese, though, il
not able to find this substance, it readily
selects another.
The wasp is an insect highwayman
Wasps have often been observed to rot
bees while these Industrious workers
laden with the fruits of an expedition
are returning to the hive.
The bite of the mosquito would scarce
ly be noticed, were it not for the fac
that the insect injects into the wound
an acrid juice, which causes the itching
and painful sensation.
