Admiral Bunce Has Carte Blanche.

Washington, June 1.-The navy de- partment has informed Rear Admiral Bunce, commanding the north Atlantic station, that it proposes, if practicable, not to interfere in any manner with the movements and exercises of his squad- ron during the present season. With this view Secretary Herbert has been obliged to decline the numerous requests he has received for ships to visit certain places and take part in local celebrations and festivities.
 The battleship Massachusetts and the monitor Terror will join the fleet before it leaves New York, and the Texas will soon follow. This will be the largest fleet ever assembled by the navy department in fleet tactics, and it is expected that the experiences that will be gained will be of much benefit to the service.

Newman at Atlanta.
 Atlanta, June 1.-The conflicting re- ceiverships of the Eagle and Phenix mills at Columbus came up before Judge New man in the federal court today. Judge Newman appointed one set of receivers last week, and on the same day Judge Butt of the state court at Columbus also appointed receivers. Judge Butts re- ceivers were the first to get possession. Charges of mismanagement and fraud are made against President Bigby of the company, but he is one of the heaviest losers. Three suits were filed against him today by parties from whom he bor- rowed as an individual to assist the mills. The case did not progress far today, re- cess being taken until tomorrow to allow the directors to meet,

FUTURE REPRESENTATION.
sub-Commlttee Orders Favorable Report
 Upon the Scheme Outlined.


 St. Louis, Mo-, June 1.-The new scheme for representation at the na- tional convention upon which the na- tional committee declined to acts owing to the near approach of the close of it's official life was taken up tonight by subcommittee of the committee on rules and ordered to be favorably reported to the full committee tomorrow. The fa- vorable report prevailed by a vote of to 1, with one member of the sub-com- mittee absent. The report will provide for the future representation at the re- publican conventions based upon the votes cast in each district for the cleo toral ticket at thu preceding election; each district to have at least one dele gate, and each state four at large.
 This scheme also contemplates the fix ing of the ratio of representation by the convention for each succeeding one. The details of this preparation are identical with that submitted to the national com mittee, but constructed on somewhat diff ferent lines.

FIGHTING FOR A FORTUNE.

Efforts are now being made in the
sarrogate's court, New York city, to
set aside the will of Frederick Maxwell
Somers, who died Feb. 2, 1894, in a
hospital at Southampton, England,
leaving his large estate to Violet Gratz
Brown of KirkwGod Mo, grand
daughter of the candidate for vice
resident on the Greeley ticket. Mr..
,omers, who was we'll known in Amer

money in bonds and securities, as he
proposed making certain investments
in London. Two days later he was
taken i'll, the ships doctor diagnosing
his case as pneumonia. He steadily
grew worse and was carried ashore at
Southampton. There he was conveyed
to private hospital, where he died
next night. The will, which his aged
mother and two sisters now contest,
was dictated to Southampton lawyer

latter died. two hospital nurses being
witnesses. Mr.. Richie was appointed
sole executor. The win was not of
fered for probate until some months
later Then Somers mother and sis
tiers brought action disputing the docu-
ment, and alleging incapacity on the
testator's part and undue influence,
The case has been pending ever since,
and the present is expected to be the
final hearing.
Miss Violet Gratz Brown says she
first met Somers IN the summer of 1892
in California and that two or three
months later they were engaged.
Later they were together good deal
at Los Angeles. During the worlds
fair Somers was in this city, but al
though Miss Brown was then in st.
louis 1t is not shown that he visited
her. Indeed, ii does not appear that
he made any effort to see the lady
after they met in Los Angeles. Mrs.
Somers is living in cottage In Vine

more than the roof over her head. Her
children are married and living at a
distance.

A Cat Worth Having.

One of the greatest successes in the
history Of this country is that achieved
by Boston's unique fivecent magazine

reason for this is that each number

That yaulted sky
Hath nc such star, didst thou but know

Nor launch Thy bark
In search thereof upon a shoreless sea,

An Imperative Duty.

Recent events have imposed upon the
patriotic people of this country re-
sponsibility and 4 duty greater than
any since the civil war. Then it was
a struggle to preserve the government
of the United States. Now it is a
struggle to preserve the financial
honor of the government of the United
States. Then it was contest to save
the Union. Now it is contest to save
spotless it's credit. Then section was
arrayed against section. Now men of
all sections can unite, and will unite,
to rebuke the reputation of our obli-
cations and the debasement of our
currency.-WilliamM Mckinley.
