MIR. TILLMAN'S WISH.
The South Carolina Senator Has Pres
idential Aspirations.

Washington, March Ex-senator Till
man wants to be president. With him
the ambition does not rest solely on
desire. He has written a letter to a
South Carolina paper, in which he re-
iterates his intention to bolt the Chi
cago convention if it fails to declare for
free silver. In his letter Senator Till
man says that the differences in the
Democratic party are as irreconcilable
as they were at the Charleston conven-
ton in 1860.
THE struggle, then" he says, ''was
for the extension of slavery in the ter
ritories. Now the issue is whether
money or the people shall rule. AS
see it, the convention is bound to split
again when it meets. No fair dealing
can be expected from the men who
fOisted on US the silver plank in the
last national platform. No fair dealing
can be expected from the men who de-
feated Hardin in Kentucky last fall
and have just prevented the election
of Blackburn. Any straddle will cause
the POpuliSts and silver men to sweep
the south and west, and the Demo-
cratic party will be only a name and
become a third party

PLAYING WITH KEENE.
A Former Washburn College Student
Now on the Stage.


An old Washburn college man is with
THOMAS Keene's company this year.
He is Harry L. Sullivan, of White
Cloud, Doniphan county, and those who
watched Washburn in athletics will
remember him as the hard-hitting back
stop of the Washburn baseball teams
of 81 and '92 and the sturdy left tackle
of the 81 football team
Mr.. Sullivan came up from Kansas
City yesterday and spent Sunday and
today at the college, the guest of Ed
Leland. The actor was popular at the
college, and is known there by the
boys as 'Sully,' having a nickname as
every faVorite athlete has.
Su1livan's stage name is John E. Mil
ton This is his second year with
Keere, and on the stage. After taking
short course in a New York dramatic
school he secured a short engagement
with Rhea, and then went to Keene

MISS WILLARD'S esDEN.',
Relics in Her Evanston Home Re.
moved to Her Old Quarters.

Chicago, March 3O-"Rest Cottage"
Evanston, for many years the home of
Miss Frances E. Willard, was rented
two years ago to A. W, Kimban. For
a long time after Mr.. Kimball rented
the cottage the most famous room
Miss Wizards den" was left undis-
turbed, but its identity is no more
In it were presents given to Miss
Willard by famous people the world
over. Photographs of literary lights,
philanthropists, and statesmen of all
countries hung upon the walls and lay
in profusion about the table. In this
room Miss Willard has been accus-
toned to work.
The Kimban family needed more
room, and with Miss Wizards consent
the relics were packed. When they
had ben moved out a billiard table
was moved in, and the place is now
used for smoking and billiard room.

DANCE THAT WAS SPOILED.
Those Who Spoiled It Are Being
Tried in Court Today.

The inside history of a country dance
is being told in Justice -Furry'S court
today; about One-half the mae
population of Mission township being
present as witnesses.
On the night of March a number of
friends gathered at the residence of
Frank J. Mather, six miles southwest
of town, to spend the evening dancing
About II O'Clock, three young men
from the city appeared and commenced
to disturb the peace of the dancers
They were John Jennings, Homer
Smith and VIM. Curran. These young
men were under the influence of liq-
uor and commenced using language not
common at social gatherings and ia
sisted on shaking hands with the men,
bers of the orchestra, which interfer-
red with the progress of the dancing.
The young men finally became SO
obnoxious that the proprietor order
ed them out; when they refused to
so. fight ensued. Several blows were
struck and the dance broke up.
In the trial today there was difficulty
in combining the witnesses to the evil
dence. The trial took up the larger
part of the day.

MORGAN GOES ABROAD.
The Financier Will Place Millions Of
Securities in Europe.

New York, March 30.-For fifteen
years J. Pierpont Morgan has been go
ing to Europe at this season to remain
for three months. He is now in Lon
don again.
While on the other side a year ago
he arranged for the distribution of
something like $50,OOO,O00 of American
securities. 1t is believed that before
his return, some time in June, from his
present trip, he will have placed a full
$1,000 900 of American stocks and
bonds in Great Britain and in conti-
mental Europe
The reputation of Mr.. Morgan as a
financier is as great in Europe as it
is in America. He is the head of the
house of ]. S. Morgan & Co., in Lon
don, and of Morgan, Harjes & Co, in
Paris, and any securities put out I'M
der his auspices are readily taken by
European capitalists. Millions worth
of stocks and bonds sold in Europe by
MIR. Morgan means so much less dan
ger of a call upon the gold reserve in
the United States treasury for the pay
ment of obligations due by America to
Europe in the course of business trans
actions between the two countries
The securities which Mr. Morgan
places abroad will serve to create ex-
change Drafts, or as they are gener-
ally called, sterling bills, can be drawn
agalns the securities, and thus will
be obviated the necessity for forward
ing gold.

BISHOP POTTER'S CALL.
Auth critics Of Cambridge Invite Him
to Preach.

Authorities Of Cambridge Invite Him
to Preach.
NEW YORK. March 3O,-Bishop Potter
has been invited by the authorities of
Cambridge univ ersity, in England, to be
select preacher to the university during
the month of May, 1897.
The appointment as select preacher
to one of the great English universities
never has been conferred be-
fore upon a bishop or
priest of the American church
so far as the records obtainable show.
The morning sermons on Sundays gin
term at Oxford fall to the dean, the
canons, the heads of the several colleges,
the divinity professors, and the profess
sors of Hebrew.
None but the most eminent clergymen
holding high degrees from the three
great universities in Great Britain ever
is appointed to the Office OF select
preacher.
Bishop Potter holds the degree of
doctor of law from Cam bridge, and is
one of the three American clergymen
who hold the degree of doctor of divinity
from Oxford

MAD AT JUDGE FOSTER.
Anchor Federal Labor Union Pass
Resolutions About His Decision. q

Kansas City, Kan, March 3O.-An-
Choir Federal Labor union has adopted
resolutions denying the right of Judge
Foster of the United States district
court to issue an injunction against
bOycOtting the Oxley Stave company,
and denouncing the action of the judge
in issuing the restraining order. These
resolutions go on to say that Judge
Fosters precedent was a dangerous
usurpation, which, if continued in our
courts, would destroy the Republic,
and concluded by saying:
Resolved further, That we have the
natural right to boycott the Oxley
Stave company and are ready to ex-
ercise that right, whatsoever the Coop
ers' union shall ask us to do so, judges

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.
Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange, 526 Kansas Avenue.

A@eS-@0l~%S
Wheat-There was a firmer feeling
this morning although cables came Hat
and outside markets showed no indfca-
tions of strength in outside markets.
A good cash and export demand sprung
up early and about 100000 bushels re-
ported TO have been taken for export
Weather and crop conditions were re-
ported as perfect except few struggling
crop damage reports from Ohio.
Partridge made his appearance in the
pit when the May option was selling
around 6415 and hammered the market
numerically. Armour made a bluff az
buying a million bushels of the big bean
plunger but it had no effect on the trade
who were watching for hard spots 10
sell on.
Foreign markets are dull and have
been easing off lately. They do not ad-
vance in sympathy with ours but on the
other hand are right in line with our de-
clines. We look for prices TO ease of
gradually unless the 'crop killer" can
work up some sensational damages.
The lowest quotation was 631a@A.
Corn, oats and provisions were weak
| aud lower on heavy realizing and short
| selling. 1t looks as if we would see still
lower prices all around before another
upturn.
