which there is no cash. The state off,
GERS say they are powerless to meet the
situation and the unpaid warrants may

The day will come when the
gold standard that is being set up
in SO many countries for the bene-
fit of the few money kings Of the
world will topple over and then
there will be such baking of the
financial institutions Of the world
as has never been witnessed since
the fall of the Roman Empire.
When Barring Bros. failed, some
few years ago, their failure shook
the civilized world. Even the
bank Of England, the most SOLD
financial institution on the eath,
felt the shock and applied to
France for fifty millions Of pounls.
The fall of Babylon, foreseen by
John the revelator, may not cone
about in that way, for there are SO
many ways in which it can fall,
but that is one probable way N
which the fall may be broght abo,t.

In the Richfield Advocate Of
June "a, we find an account pf a
case of poisoning at wed ling
feast, at Panguitch, Utah, which
caused the death of one lady and
nearly caused the death of OF ers.
1t is suspected that ysung
man named George Davis, who
had previously threatened the life
Of Elliot Hudson, the brideg bon,
was the party who, in connection
his mother Mrs Davis am a
woman named Best, caused the
arsenic to be placed in the beer
that was used at the wedding
In the Southern Censor the
poisoning is denied but in tn Ad-
vocate of July l it is stoutly nj hint
tanned by the party who req rted
the affair, that even the Doc
tor had drank some of the
beer and announced that had
been poisoned.
II there is any truth | it
we hope the guilty parties i'll be
speedily brought to justice.

Saturday, July Is, 1896.

Now that the majority of the
Democrats at the Chicago Conven-
ton have come out and made their
declarations in favor Of silver and
have embodied a silver plank in
their platform; also nominated
silver men for president, and vice
president, it looks ais If they are
in earnest and moan to 40 honor to
their country and we sincerely
hope they will.
There is one thing that we think
ought to be done, and that is, for
all silver men, no matter what
their party affiliations. to join to-
gether and have a great convention
and all decide to put up silver men
for president and vice president
and let all the silver people drop
their party feelings and C cave to
the silver men and vote for them
at the coming election, so as to
make grand sweep and shut ur
evey avenue for any gold-bug tc
have even a ghost of a show to
turn up the winning card in the
end.
We want the free and Unlimited
coinage of silver, and law max
ing it legal tender beside gold al
a ration Of 16 to l, but we fear un
less there is united effort of al
the silver men that the gold mel
will eventually win the day, TO

FALL OF THE TROCHA.
Strikes a Telling BloW-Span-
ish Loss 1000.

Key West, Fla, Oct. 3.-Advices re-
ceived here from Havana state
that Antonio Meceo, in recent
attack on the trocha, inflicted terri
bic losses on the Spaniards, more
than 1000 being killed and wounded.
The attack was made at night and was
carefully planned. The fighting was gen.
eral all along the line, but was fiercest
nearest ArtemiSa, where Antonio Maceo
led a picked force of insurgents against
the Spanish column commanded by Gen.
Aralas.
The Spaniards were taken completely
by surprise. They were aroused from
sleep to find hail of insurgent bullets
falling upon them. Gen. Aralas and his
staff, half clad, rushed from their head
quarters and tried to rally the Spanish
troops who were panic-stricken. 1t was
half an hour before even a semblance of
order could be restored to the column and
during that time the troops remained
huddled together an easy mark for the
Cubans and many Spanish were killed.
The insurgents had several dynamite
guns and these were used with terrible
effect, the shells bursting among the
Spaniards and striking them down by the
scores. The wounds made by the dy-
Mantle shells were frightful. in many in
stances men being literally blown to
pieces. 1t is said many Spanish officers
were killed and that Gen. Aralas himself
was slightly injured.

HEAVY TRADING In WHEAT
Excitement in the Chicago Pit Con-
tinues-Corn and Provis-
ions Go Up, Too.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-The wheat pit
today was again a scene of wild excite
ment, marked by an advance in the price
of December to a point 215 cents above
the final figures of yesterdays session.
This advance was all the time held by
any means, for big traders, whose per-
sistency in holding on to their lines have
been partially instrumental in the recent
rise, took advantage of the exalted prices
TO earn an honest dollar by dumping
some Of their holdings on the market.
The aggregate days business was enor-
nous. Not only were all the local brok-
ers heavy investors, but outside specula-
ton was much more prominent than
usual.
The reason for the Nulge can be told
in two WOrds-foreign' news. It was not
the higher prices quoted at Liverpool
and on the continent. but the reports of
wheat engagements for shipment to In
dia from Liverpool, hitherto unheard-of
transaction. Reports of similar engage
ments from San Francisco were con-
frmed and lent force to the statements
that the Indian crop was q failure.
Not all the interest, however, was
centered in wheat. The corn and pro-
vision pits were damned with excited
spectators all day, an enormous foreign
business was done in corn and promi-
nent packers in trying to cover some
of their lines of provisions experienced
surprising difficulty in doing so. The
close showed substantial advances all
around

LAM0REUX'S REPORT.
Work of the Land Office During the
Past Year-Recommend
tons Made.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 3-The an
nual report of Land Commissioner
Lamoreux states that the total vacant
public land in the United States IS Co.,
04O,671 acres, of which 316,651 ,S61 are
surveyed and 90, 3SS,810 unsurveyed.
The amount of land surveyed during the
year was S,90S,80S acres.
Considerable attention has been given
during the year to correct surveying and
in nearly every public land state re-
surveys have been ordered upon reports
of the examiners.
Commissioner LamoreuX makes the
following recommendations: The ap-
preparations for surveys and reSurveyS
of public lands be made continuous: that
laws be passed creating the Office Of sur
veyor-general of Alaska, establishing Il
national irrigation commission, for the
compulsory attendance of witnesses at
the hearing in contests before the dis
trict land officers; for the protection of
timber on public forest reservations; to
regulate timber on public lands not en-
braced within forest reservations; and
for the protection of timber and other
growth on the public domain from de-
struction by fire.
Nearly all the legislation recommend
ed is now pending in Congress.
The report contains review of the en-
tire work of the general land office, to-
gether with the effect of past legislation
and decisions of the Supreme court on
land cases.

that the Cyller was trader and they
departed without giving any name and
refusing to answer any questions. Capt.
Rasmussen is sure the stranger was a
Spanish warship. The Cyller was On the

Decides Against Western Union.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct 3-The Indi-
ana Supreme court has delivered a body
blow to the Western Union Telegraph
tionai the SO per cent. penalty for de-
linquent taxes being handed down. The
telegraph company, together with other
big corporations, has been resisting the
collection of taxes for three years. One
after another has been knocked out, the
tax levy of 1891 being sustained in every
instance. The railroads have all been
forced to bow to the law, but the tele-
graph companies still resist because of
the added penalty of SO per cent. which
they were called on to pay.

A Passenger Kills Himself.
The wreck was marked by scenes of the
widest confusion The nerves of many
were at high pitch as q result of their
experience with road agents in New
Mexico, and when the crash came the
first impression Of nearly all was that the
train had been attacked again by robbers.
One passenger, William Becker Of Los
Angeles, Cal, en- route to Chicago,
seemed to lose his reason entirely.
When the crash came he drew
SINGLE arreled pistol from his pocket and
in the presence of a car full of terrified
passengers took his own life, sending
bullet into his brain. Becker had been
drinking heavily. He was about 80 years
of age

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Chaffin and Her Paramour
Suspected of Killing Mr.. Chat
fin and Five Children.

Little Rock, Ar, Oct 3.-Great ex-
citement prevails at DevalPs Bluff over
the discovery Of what is believed to be
the bloodiest tragedy in the history Of
Prairie county. Bud Chaffin and his
FIVE children are believed to have been
murdered, and suspicion points TO Mrs
Chaffin and John King, her paramount,
as the murderers.
Chaffin, with his wife and five chill
dren, lived on White river between Des
Arc and DevaHs Bluff. John King,
hired man, lived with the family and is
said to have alienated the Chaffin wom-
ans affections from her husband
Neither King nor any of the Chaffins
have been seen since September 81 On
that date King was seen driving away in
a wagon in company with Mrs. Chafin
AS they did not return and nothing was
seen of the other members Of the family
the neighbors began an investigation.
When the house in which the Chaffins
had lived was opened, blood was found
spattered all over the floor and there
were evidences of a terrible butchery
having been committed, but 10 bodies
were found. The theory Of the officers
is that the bodies were thrown into
the river. Every effort is being made
to locate King and Mrs Chafin.

INSULT TO BRITAIN.
Sultan of Zanzibar Spirited Away
Before English Officers
Could Protest.

Copyrighted, 1896, by the Associated Press)
Zanzibar, Oct. 2.-An incident of great
political Importance occurred here today
resulting in decidedly strained relations
between the British and German officials
ashore and which may lead to interna-
tionaI complications of a serious nature.
After the bombardment of the palace
Of Zanzibar by the British gunboats
Sparrow, Thrush and Raccoon, Seyyid
I<hahd. who had proclaimed himself
Sultan on August %, after the sudden
death of Seyyid Harmed Bin Thwain
Bin Said, sought refuge at the German
consulate. A demand was made by the
British authorities for his surrender, but
the German consul, acting upon the in
structions received from his government,
refused to place the fugitive in the hands
of the British. This caused considerable
irritation and has been the cause of con-
siderable diplomatic correspondence be-
tween Great Britain and Germany.
Khalid Spirited Away.
The situation took a new turn today.
An unusually high tide prevailed and
while it was touching the wall of the
German consulate Khalid was placed
under an escort of armed German sail
ors on board the German cruiser Seead-
Ter, for conveyance, it is believed, to one
of the German colonies.
The British consul here, Basil Cave,
in charge of the British agency in the
absence of A. II. Hardinge, the British
agent and consul-general, who has been
to England to consult with the home
government. regarding the administration
of Zanzibar. was not notified of the re-
moval of khalid to the German warship
until after the usurper was safely on
board the Seeadler. But so soon as he
became aware Of the action Of the Ger
man authorities, Mr.. Cave lodged a Wig
orous protest at the German consulate
against the embarkatiOn of Khalid, es-
pecially pointing out that the question of
his surrender to the British authorities
was still under discussion by the gov
ernments of Great Britain and Ger
many.
Await Instructions from London.
Later Mr.. Cave cabled a report of the
circumstances to his government and is
now awaiting instructions from London.
Viewed in the most conservative light
the incident is regarded as being an act
of studied discourtesy upon the part Of
the German representatives toward the
representatives of Great Britain and 1t
can hardly fail to call for serious diplo-
matte representations.

STIRRED UP A HORNETS NEST.
Criticism Of Restaurants by the Presi-

Criticism Of Restaurants by the Presi-
dent of the University of Chicago.
Chicago, H., Oct 3.-President Har-
per of the University of Chicago pulled
hornets nest down about his ears when
he said in his quarterly statement:
In some of the eating clubs frequent
ed by, the. university students the food
furnished is not of a character which
will enable the students to Go the best
kind Of work. In other eating clubs
the service is of a character which de-
moralizes and degrades its members.
With others, there are connected
women whose character and in
fuence are known to be impure
In many of the clubs drinking wa
ter is served which is unfit for
use. Let every student be on his guard.
One cannot hold in high esteem the man.
however scholarly he may be, who is
negligent in reference to the common
laws of health, the common rules of
etiquette or the common principles of
morality"
Keepers Of boarding clubs about the
university are inclined to resent this
statement, and are almost unanimous in
their expression that a great wrong has
been done them. They say he should
have specified any places of the charac-
ter he describes and not leave every
clearinghouse and restaurant for q radi-
us of two miles from the college under
