HER SHAME KEPT SECRET.
Story of Faithless Wife and Two
Children Who Have Found a Father

Topeka, Kan. April 5.-Nellie and
Jack Hickman, brother and sister aged
respectively IS and II years, passed
through Topeka today to join their
father at Hot Springs, n. c., from whom
they have been separated six years, dur
ing which time the father knew nothing
of the whereabouts of his children. Their
story is a sad one.
Six years ago their mother eloped from
North Carolina with a man named Law
son, compelling the children to go will,
them. They went to Arkansas City
Kan, where, until six weeks ago. they
lived as man and wife. In February
Lawson deserted Mrs. Hickman, leaving
her and the two children in poverty
Then the mother died. and the charitable
people found home for the boy and girl
The neighbors had never suspected the
couple were living life of shame. One
day the girl confessed all and requested
that Mr.. w. b. Reed, with whom the
children were living, write to Hot Springs
and ascertain if their father was still
alive. She said Lawson had threatened
to kill her if she told of the elopement
Soon Mr.. Reed received letter from the
father, inclosing money with which to
purchase railroad tickets for the return
of his children.

SPAIN ENDS NO ALLIES.

There has been material change in Eu-
ropean ideas regarding the relations be-
tween the United States and Cuba during
the past month. 1t is credibly reported
that most of the governments of Europe
have informed the Madrid cabinet, in re-
Spouse to its overtures for general league
against this country, that such a project
was absolutely impossible.
The wisest and most humane statesmen
of England and the continent recognize
that Cuba is essentially part of the
American system, and that the United
States has clear right to protest against
the devastation of the island and the de-
struction of American commercial inter-
ests through the continuance of savage
warfare Another class of European dip
lomats, who might be willing under GER
tain circumstances to ally themselves
with Spain in dealing blow ut American
influence and authority, realize that such
a course, in view of the threatening COM
plicatons at their own doors, would be
suicidal folly.
1t is evident that the semi-bankrupt
Spanish monarchy can find no allies
abroad unless Il sweeping and altogether
improbable change should take place in
European affairs. This fact should make
the Madrid authorities less arrogant and
more mindful of American rights. Spain
has nothing to gain and everything to
lose by hostile policy toward the United
States.-New York Commercial-Advertis-

A BLOODY AFFRAY.
A Slashing Scrape Occurs at Sulphur
Springs-One Man Will Die.

Sulphur Springs, Tex, April 7-(Spe-
cial This afternoon about 6 o'clock,
just after court had adjourned, diff
Guilty occurred in front of the court house
between Bob and Bill Spence on one side
and Steve Harris and his three sons,
George, Oliver and Roger, on the other
side, in which Bob Spence was fatally
cut and is now dying at his home, the
attending physician saying he can not
live until midnight. Bill Spence was
stabbed in the back and cut across the
forehead, neither cut being considered
dangerous. Steve Harris, or Uncle
Steve, as he is Familiarity known. is II
years of age and fast weakening from
old age. The trouble had been brewing
for some time and originated from the
divorce suit filed by Bob Spence's wife,
who was daughter of Steve Harris.
Only one shot was fired, and that by
Roger Harris but Spence knocked his
pistol to one side and he was disarmed
before he could shoot again. The Har-
rises are in the custody of the sheriff.

AFTER GREGOR KRAsNOw.
Russian Patriots Have Business With
an Alleged Participation in Alex
ander's Assassination.

Philadelphia. Pa, April 5.-Agents of
Russian patriotic society are in the
East hunting for Gregor Krasnow, who
was implicated in the plot that resulted
in the assassination of Gar Alexander
III of Russia in 1881. Krasnow, who
was then Is years old. was arrested at
the time and obtained his release on bail
through powerful influence. He fled to
Switzerland and soon after came to
America, living in Chicago until recently
On March IS story was printed to the
effect that he had, after receiving the
bounty of Russian refugees for num-
Der of years, turned traitor and applied
to the Russian government for pardon,
offering to enter the secret service at
st. Petersburg and give the government
valuable information. The principal
motive for this action is said to be Kras-
now's desire to obtain portion of the
fortune of 100000 rubles left by his
father, who died soon after his daughter,
who was also implicated in the assassi.
nation, was executed. A brother OF

CROP BULLETIN.

Washington, April THE weather bu-
reau has resumed its weekly publication
of crop conditions. In its bulletin issued
today it says:
Over the Central and Northern portion
of the country the season is generally
from two to three weeks late, in conse-
quence of which farm work has been cor
respondingly delayed.
In the southern states the season is also
backward but not so late in the more
northern districts, while in Colorado it is
more advanced than usual
BY April l, cotton planting was well
advanced in Texas, and preparations for
planting were being made in Mississippi,
Louisiana and Alabama. In Georgia,
Tennessee and Oklahoma little or no cot
ton has yet been planted, but the soil is
being prepared and planting will likely be-
gin this week. In the extreme southern
states much of the corn crop had been
planted by April /. Since then planting
has continued and has begun as far north
as southern Missouri In the more south
erly states the early planted is up to a
good stand In Florida corn is nearly a
foot high in many sections. The condi-
tion of winter wheat is reported in Vir-
ginia and Ohio as fair.

OUR NEIGHBORING FELLOW
DEMOCRATS ACCOMPLISHED
THEIR WORK.
STATE ADMINISTRATION ENDORSED.
Also Savers and Burleson-Cleveland'
Administration Just Partly En-
dorsed-All Delegates Instructed
for Free Silver.

Georgetown, Tex, April 6.-(Special)
constant sprinkling today, the Demo-
cratic county convention assembled Il
large crowd from every section of the
county. The International and Great
Northern special brought 120 delegates
from Taylor, Hutto and Round Rock.
Two brass bands escorted the delegation
into the convention hall and at inter-
walls during the day helped to keep the
patriotism of the delegates at white heat.
Chairman r. A. John called the con-
vention to order The utmost harmony
prevailed and with r. l.. Penn perma-
nent chairman, business was rapidly dis
patched.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing
Culberson and other state officers and
nstructing delegates to the state con-
vention to vote for their denomination.
Instructions were given for Savers for
congress; for Judge w. l.. Davidson,
Judge NJ. NJ. King, Judge Il. h. Brooks
and A. S. Burleson. w. ID. Yeti of
Burnet county was endorsed for state
senator. Clevelands administration
was partially endorsed. Delegates were
instructed to vote for as delegates to
the national convention only those who
favor free silver at 16 to /.
A resolution was introduced endorsing
the administration of Grover Cleveland
as eminently wise and patriotic and
agreeing to abide by the action of the
Democratic party in both national and
state conventions and pledging to sup
port the platform adopted by said con-
ventions.
This precipitated some animated dis
cussion and for while harmony seemed
to be in danger. The resolution was
finally showed out of sight and Grover
and sound money were heard of no more.
J. w. Brewster was endorsed for tloater
and ]. w. Parker nominated for repre-
sentative to the legislature.
A full county ticket was nominated
and delegates elected to the various con-
ventions.

KrasnOw and three of his cousins were
also hanged, and these circumstances APP
pealed strongly to the sympathies of
Russians in this country and led them
to supply him literally with funds.
While living in Chicago Krasnow was
known MS Ii. NJ. Shike. He was en-
ployed by Mayer Engel & Co., whole
sale clothiers, for II years, and after
wards engaged in the clothing manufac-
to deceive the Russian police circum-
stantial story of Krasnow's death and
burial was printed in n paper published
at Geneva by the Russian refugees. In
1888 the Russian authorities learned that
he was still alive, and one of the most
famous detectives in st. Petersburg
came to this country in search of the
refugee, stimulated by an offer of the
Cross of Honor and $4,000 rubles for
Krasnow, dead or alive. This detective
was outwitted by Krasnow and his
friends and he returned to st. Peters
burg without his man.
When Krasnow left Chicago recently
he was followed to New York, where
he was seen to meet n well known Chi
cago merchant, with whom he had been
on intimate terms of friendship, and re-
ceive from him a sum of money. 1t is
believed that it was on the advice of this
gentleman that KrasnOw left Chicago.
The agents of the Russian societies,
some of whom were in this city today,
are determined to prevent Krasnow from
returning to Russia, if possible. They
say that if he can be found and induced
to reconsider his purpose Of joining the
cars secret service his friends here will
provide literally for him, but if he is
determined to betray those who be-
friended him, he will have to suffer the
consequences. On March 20 Krasnow
eluded the men who were tracking him
to New York and he is believed to have
gone to Washington for the purpose of
communicating with the Russian lega-
ton. They think he will not dare at
tempt to sail from New York, but will
instead board European steamer either
at Baltimore or Philadelphia. Mean
while a close watch is being kept for
him in the cities named.

disapproved by the organizing party and
both were rejected. The operations of
the war seem to have come practically
to standstill. About $4,000 Honduras

cupy Pueblo, in the fertile valley of the
Elvijo in Nicaragua, and with free
routes home. They are opposed by about
an equal number of the Nicaraguan reb-
els, under Gen. OrteZ, at Chinandega.
President Zelaya's troops, on the other
hand, occupy Nagarote and MIetare, near
the western shore of Lake Managua.
They are apparently few in number. or
they would have made demonstration
before this in favor of their Honduras
allies who entered Nicaragua north of
Leon, the rebel capital, nearly month
ago, ready to cooperate with Ielaya to
take that place. 1t is reported Gen. Bo-
cas- insurgent troops, under Gems Chi
verrara, Hedoro and Larayas, near Ma
garOte, are taking advantage of the long
inaction of Ielayas troops at Nagarote
and are thanking their position, threaten
ing Managua, the capital
All three of these armies are largely
made up of undisciplined and easily
frightened Mosos. However, they are
now occupying the best houses in Pueblos,
accompanied by their women, with no
work to do, freely fed and clothed and
in less danger really than they are when
peacefully occupied. War is thus a
pleasure and recreation to them and they
are little disposed to fight. The engage
ments are only light skirmishes, lasting
only few minutes. and are confined to
cannonading at long range with small
cannon. Meanwhile, the industrial pro-
cesses and wage-earners of the country
are suffering severely and loud mutter-
ings of discomfort are heard over the
expensive maintenance of armies which
are doing nothing.

SPANISH HEARTLESSNESS.
Shipwrecked Seamen Left to Be Tossed
About By the Waves.

Philadelphia. April IA thrilling story
of shipwreck and Il narrow escape from
death by the Spaniards patroling the
south coast of Cuba was told today by
Mate William Adams, of the British
bark Earncliff, which was recently to-
tally wrecked on the small island known
as Cape de Crus, near Cuba.
Adams, with seven other members of
the crew, arrived here on board the
steamship Earnwood He denounced
the manner in which he and his suffering
shipmates were treated by the Spanish.
The crew took to the open boats when
the vessel struck, as she became at once
Il total wreck, and pulled for the shore
of the island. expecting to land. They
were faint from exhaustion. but were
driven back into their boats by the Span
ish soldiers and their only alternative
was to row north to Manzanillo, a dis
lance of IS miles, which port it took
them AS hours to reach. Their sulferings
were intense, as the heat became unbear-
able. They were hailed on March % at
l O'Clock by Spanish man-of-war.
Mate Adams could not get her name.
but she made them come alongside and
officers came into the boat and searched
her from stem to stern. All protested
they were only shipwrecked seamen. but
the Spaniards never offered to take them
on board. Mate Adams was forced to
turn his pockets inside out and give up
a revolver he priced very highly. After
about an hours delay they were set adrift
and on the evening of the following day,
more dead than alive. they reached Man
zanillo. Here they were again detained
some time until the Spanish authorities
satisfied themselves that they were not
