LONDON, May 25.-The Times has a
dispatch from Athens which says: The
long expected disaster in the island of

PITTSBURG, May 27.-Uproarious
days session of the seventh National
Prohibition convention. At least one
half the time the delegates were in con-
fusion, and on several occasions the
presiding officer had to call upon the
band 10 play in order to quiet the dis
order.
1t was a fight between the broad
gauge" or free silver faction and the
single issue" or gold standard dele
gate from the East The fight was
precipitated a few moments after the
convention was called to order, and at
both the morning and afternoon ses-
sions things in general ran riot The
free silver faction carried the day, how
ever, and at O'Clock this evening they
elected c. w. Stewart of Illinois perma
nent chairman over A. A. Stevens of
Pennsylvania, who was backed by the
gold standard delegates. Tonight the
free silver faction are in an ecstacy
over the victory.
The convention was held in Music
Hall, at the Exposition building, and
there were over 5000 spectators in at
tendance. 1t was not as large crowd
as the leaders had expected, but there
were enough people to fill the big hall,
and what they lacked in numbers they
made up in enthusiasm. The fight to-
morrow will be, to begin with, over the
platform.

THE SANTA FEES POLICY.

The Santa Fe system is looping OF
some of its branches, and extensions,
all Of which were constructed under
distinct charters respectively, num-
Der of them having been built by the
Santa Fe itself. The effort is to reach
a paying basis, we suppose, although
these extensions, links and branches
were originally acquired for that iden-
teal reason. The Frisco, together
with the southern or Texas extension,
was relinquished on the 18th of the
present month, at which time the San
Ia Fe failed to pay certain interests
due on securities. The road will be
sold on the 9th of next month under
an order of the federal court And
So too, will the Atlantic and Pacific
be sold on the Sth of July next 1t
is the Santa Fe's outlet to the Pacific
and that road will bid all that it
thinks the road Is worth. There has
been some talk about an attempt ON
the part Of Huntington of the Southern
Pacific to secure the Atlantic and Pa
cific, but if he does so he will have to
bid against the Santa Fe with the as
surance also that the latter viii con-
struct another line in the event that it
fails to secure the road. 1t is proba-
bic that Huntington will make no
such attempt, for he knows that he can
not bottle up the Santa Fe, and that
his acquisition of the road would mean
the construction of rival line in Ar
iona. The most desirable thing about
the Atlantic and Pacific is its large
land grant, which embraces a large
of land some of which will in
time become very valuable. That
might make Huntington anxious to
get ii, but his ownership would do the
territories Of New Mexico and Arizona
no good, for it is fact we'll established
that the Southern Pacific management |
is liberal and unenterprising.

HUNTING A MOSES.


Uncle Cyrus Leland Is still in the
gubernatorial wilderness, and sends
in word that ne is beating the brush
and is hopeful of jumping up Moses
Emporia Republican.
Some six weeks or so ago, or Just
antecedent to the Morrill-Leland epi-
sode, the Eagle more particularly for
the benefit Of its Emporia cotempora-
ries, suggested the name of Calvin
Hood as being the probable heir pre-
sumptive if not the actual heir apDar-
ent. The aforesaid cotemps either
failed or otherwise refused to catch on.
Sam Peters can only get into line of
gubernatorial succession in the event
of the sbdicatiOn of Morrill,. Of that
there is little indication or promise.
Leland is neither for Potter or Trout
man as first choice although he
would heartily support either were he
nominated. 1t might prove the part
of political perspicuity to keep your
party eye peeled for Hoods pull for
Cy's role Of Moses.

WALL STREET AND M'KINLEY.

A strong and persistent effort has
been put forth by Republican organ
ization of New York TO induce the
bankers of that city to sign an endorse
| ment of Mckinley. A committee of
three prominent friends of the Ohio
statesman waited upon the bankers
persistently for two weeks or more,
explaining, promising and urging, but
all 10 no purpose They only succeed
ed in securing a beggardly array of
signatures. Nineteen bankers, all told.
is the sum total OF their efforts. While
this fact is bewailed by many OF the
friends of Mckinley it effectually
shuts out the claim of bank-owned pa
pers of the west that Mckinley Is
single standard man. Goldbugs know
each other, and they know that Mckin-
ley is not one of their number. There
are several goldbug Republican papers
in the cities of Ohio who will do well
to heed the pointer afforded by this
declination of New York bankers to
endorse Mckinley. 1t is more than
a straw. 1t is a great big gilded
vane, with an index finger so large and
long that all the world may see that
there is at least one wind which is not
veering in a favorable direction for
Wall street. The nineteen who did
sign are not the heavy weights. The
names of j. PierpOnt Morgan and his
syndicate confrees are conspicuous for
their absence.

ALL ONES SIDED.

The future work of Francis Murphy In
Kansas will not be under the auspices
of the State Temperance union IL Is
claimed that it is becsuse Mr.. Murphy
gets his hearers TO crying over the Home
and Fireside. instead OF working them
into a fever pitch because the Prohioitory
law has been violated, but the real reason
is that some Of Murphy's utterances were
favorable to Governor Morrill,. The Tenn
perance union has issued circular an
noucing that Mr.. Murphy will have no
connection with its work in the future,
and apologizing for his praise Of Morrill,
why apologize? There isn't more con-
sistent temperance worker in Kansas than
Governor Morrill,. and Francis Murphy
shows that he is fair and just In admit
ting it. The trouble with the Temperance
union is that it has affiliated with hypo-
critics 50 long that it doesn't know an
honest man when it meets one in the

guess. There is left to them Dick
Wake and his union, which has just
repudiated Francis Murphy the great

John, the apostle and prophet, with
his bolt; and, there is the National Pro

but still in the ring and on top to choose
