Parties holding first citizenship pa
pers, or who have lived in this country
over five years, will undoubtedly ap-
pear before the different courts as
early as possible in order to take out
their final papers and thus secure all
of the rights of citizenship. Judge
Webber will hold special term here
commencing Jan. 26th and his bust
ness may be more for final papers
than for regular legal business.

1t is to be regretted that some prac-
tical machinist or student of engineer
ing was not put on the city ticket for
the council. The city has about 500
600 invested in the water and sewer
age system and the Investment calls
for councilmen who know something
about the pumping station machinery
and connecting pipes. Mayor Dick
inson and Aid. Burmeister we're both
thoroughly conversant with the plant
and their retirement leaves the coun-

1t looks as though President Cleve-
land wants to pose as the great peace
maker. Not content with his failure
in peace making in Hawaii and setting
up the harlequin monarchy he now
wants Congress to let him run the
Cuban question to suit his own aristo-
cratic taste-he desiring to have Spain
grant the revolutionists home rule and
the United States to see that Spain's
concession is carried out. It is barely
possible that Congress will bow to the
President and Secretary Olney. The
average congressman pales into in
significance before heavy weight like
Grover and he is anxious to follow,
rather than lead, but if Congress does
allow Grover to run the whole ques-
ton it contains more chumps to the
square yard than we supposed it to
contain. The struggle for Cuban lib
erty has gone too far to permit of any
thing but complete independence.

"Bart," the cartoonist of that excel
lent evening paper, the Minneapolis
Journal, has frequently heard praises
from the press and individuals, as to
his abilities as cartoonist, but his
gopher series of cartoons have ex-
celled anything heretofore attempted,
as seen through our eyes. The Christ
mas Gopher cartoon, to be repub-
lished in The GAZETTE, was the climax
of all, and we doubt whether "Bart''
will be able to excel his own effort.

supreme. It's entire career has been
one of pure fakism. So notorious has
this fact become, even outside of the
newspaper world, that when the paper
publishes correct piece of news it is
necessary to haveit confirmed through
other sources before it will be believ-
ed. It's reports of the fight in Cuba
have been wretched fakes-not even
screened by the skilled work of a
newspaper man. The only wonder is
that other papers belonging to the
Associated Press will allow such pa
pers as The World to palm off these
fakes on to them and give the World
more fake advertising.

THEN HE BRAINED HIS TWO CHILDREN

Austin, Tex. July 3a.--W. E. Burt, member of one of the best families of the city, murdered his wife and two chill dren, aged 9 and 1 years. late Friday night and placed the dead bodies in a cistern. The crime was discovered this morning.
 Burts residence adjoined the business portion of the city. and foul stench led to an investigation. He left the city Saturday night after committing the ter rible deed, and warned several of the neighbors not to drink the water as 1t was polluted by a dead cat. The wife was asleep. He bound her in a blanket and dropped her struggling body into the cistern. Both children had their brains knocked out A reward of $500 has been offered for Burt's apprehen- sion

Dr., Jameson and His Comrades Will Be Treat ed as Ordinary Prisoners Unless 0th-
 erwse Ordered.

London, July 30.-The unofficial report circulated last evening to the effect that Sir Matthew White Ridley. the home sec retary, had ordered that Dr. Jameson and the other prisoners who were sem fenced to various terms of imprisonment for the part they took in the Transvaal raid should be treated as first-class mis- demeanants, turns out to have been in- correct
 In the house of commons today MT. Patrick OBrien, Parnellite member for the city of Kilkenny, asked for informa- ton on the subject. The home secre- tary said that the court alone had the power to order the prisoners to be treat ed as first-class misdemeanants. No such order had been issued by the court, and hence the convicted men would be treated as ordinary prisoners. In re- Hponse to further question he said that he was unable to state at present wheth- CT the royal prerogative would be exsr- cised and an order issued in the name of the queen for the treatment of the pris- oners as first-cass misdems sanants.
 The preliminary step for an inquiry into the administration of the British South Africa company was then taken by Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, who made motion for the appointment of fifteen members of the house to conduct the inquiry.
 Sir William Vernon Harcourt the lead- CT of the opposition, concurred In the mo- tion, which was agreed to by the house.

OVER 100 INJURED.
Disastrous Explosion of Powder Magazine in Hungarian Town-ManY May Be
 Buried Under Debris.

Buda Pest, July 30.-The powder mag azine at Funfkirchen, the capital of the county of Baranya, exploded this morn ing with fatal results. The shock of the explosion was terrific. The town hall was almost completely wrecked, and other buildings in the vicinity were badly dam ~Rged- So far aszlxnown five persons were instantly killed and eighty seriously, some fatally, wounded.
 Later investigation shows that the ex- plosion was more disastrous than at first reported. It Is now known that more than 100 people were injured, and 1t Is thought large proportion of them will die. Some of the buildings in the vicini- ty of the magazine collapsed under the effects of the shock, and there Is reason to believe that many of their inmates were buried in the ruins.
 The municipal authorities, aided by the military are making every effort to clear away the ruins and rescue those who may be imprisoned beneath them. The magazine Is located but short distance from the square, which was. crowded with rustics when the explosion occurred. Among the injured are many of these country people.

A Result off OIpey,s Visit.

Washington, July 30.--The presidents warning proclamation as to Cuban fili- busters is understood to be one of the results of Secretary,s Olney's recent visit to Gray Gables, and Is thought to be in some measure, at least, the answer of tha administration to the petitions and com- pIaints against Spain's treatment of Americans In Cuba, which continually pour in upon the state department. Many of these have contained pleas Of ignorance of the laws under which the suspects were arrested and imprisoned, and 1t has apparently been deemed ad- visable to leave American citizens no longer in doubt as to the protection thsy may expect if they go so far In their sym pathies as to violate United States stat utes. Senor De Lome has persistently tried to secure some such statement of the administrators attitude ever since the belligerency resolutions were adopted by congress, he desiring to offset the i'll effects in Spain of the debates in the sem ate.
 While the United States authorities have invariably displayed the activity re- quired of them in enforcing the neutral ity laws 1t has been found almost impos- sible to secure any convictions for yio- lations of the United States neutrality statutes until recently.

The Lilly Whites, Put Out Ticket.

New Orleans, July 3O.-The sugar planters, or lilly white" republicans, as they are sometimes called, held nu- merously attended meeting here today at the St. Charles theater for the pur- pose of placing presidential electors in the field. A. A. Maginnis of New Orleans presided. There were no colored men in attendance. The regular republican or ganization of the state which Is now largely controlled by Capt. A. T. Vim berly, made overtures to the sugar plant CTS for conference, but the convention ignored the request of the regulars" and put a full electoral ticket in the field. It is composed exclusively of white men and is headed by Capt. J. N. Pharr, a free silver enthusiast.
 The sugar planters evidently intend to paddle their own canoe, but how they are to do so outside the regular organization is puzzling all politicians. The "regu- lars" will hold conference in few days. They put out their electoral ticket two weeks ago.

FIFTEEN, THE DEAD.
A Destructive Storm Bursts Upon Gloucester, O.-The Fury of the Wind lndescrib-
 able-The Creek Torrent.

Athens, O., July 30.-The most destruc- tive storm in the history of the Sunday creek valley occurred at Gloucester, a mining town twelve miles north of here, last night, which resulted in the almost total destruction of one of the principal streets of the town and doing damage to the amount of thousands of dollars. The storm, which came from the north west, struck the town without warming. The fury of the wind is indescribable. Buildings were toppled over, trees torn from their roots, and the town this morning is a scene of desola ton. J. L. Daugherty, who was at the front of his grocery when the storm was at it's height, was struck by a section of a plank walk and instantly killed. Four others were reported dead and several others seriously injured, but the details are meager, and it is impossible to learn names. Nearly every building In town Is damaged, and many are completely de- mo1ished
 The streets are beyond description, be- Ing covered with broken tfmbers and de- bris of all kinds To add to the horror Sunday creek is sweeping everything be- fore it. Several houses have been wash ed away, and two people are reported drowned.
 Later-Word has reached here that the list of dead will reach fifteen.

Atlanta, July S0.-The Constitution will publish tomorrow telegram from Sem ator James K. Jones, chairman of the democratic national executive committee as follows:
 ''I cannot consider any proposition for the withdrawal of MT. Sewall, but will entertain as far as I have power, and promote to the best of my ability any just and fair proposition for fusion on electoral ticket JAMES K. JONES'"
 This telegram is sent to the Constitu- ton in reply to an inquiry as to the pol icy which would probably be adopted in reference to the complication brought about by the nomination of different can didates for the vice presidency, both the democrats and the populists having agreed upon the same candidate for president.

IT WAS A FARCE.
The Liberation of Prisoners in Cuba on the Queens Birthday-Clgar Makers Giving
 Cur Apiece.

Jacksonville, Fla, July BOA Times Union special from Key West says:
 Private advices received in this city last night by the steamer Mascotte state that Augustin Cervantes, an officer in the insurgent army, was killed in the battle at Sarasota. in the province of Camaguey between Generals Gomez and Jovellanos
 It is reported that the insurgents, un- der the command of Zayas, Collazo Acosta and Valencia, about 10000 strong, are in the neighborhood of Havana.
 The reported liberation of prisoners on the queens birthday proved farce. Only a few Spanish soldiers, who had com mitted some minor offenses, were liber- ated, and these few were sent back to the army,a worse punishment than being in the Cabanas.
 Ganzalo de Quesada, secretary of the Cuban junta, and Benjamin Guerra, treasurer, arrived in this city this morn ing from Tampa. They at once went to the Fl Modelo cigar factory. where they addressed the Cuban cigar makers at work in the factory for the purpose of inducing them, to contribute the price of a rifle apiece towards the freeing of Cuba. Their speeches were greeted with cheers and every cigar maker in the factory promptly signified his willing ness to give gun. In Tampa and Key West these gentlemen succeeded in rais- ing 5000 rifles, and at no place have they met with single refusal from a Cuban to contribute to the cause. They expect to raise at leost 1000 rifles in this city.

STOOD HIM IN GOOD STEAD
Wooden Leg Enables Man to Act the Hero. He Snatched Out Men
 Frying to Death.

Pittsburg, July 30.-Last evening Peter Warbaniac and Samuel Moody, two f1ll- CTS at Lucy furnace, Fifty-fi street, were overcome by a rush of gas from under the bell. Warbaniac fell head first down the mouth of the furnace, alighting on top of the bell, which was almost at a white heat. Moody called for help and attempted to rescue War baniac He also inhaled the deadly gas and fell into the bell Other workmen came to the top of the furnace and were discussing plans of rescue when John H. Reynolds, a one-legged man, jumped down on to the bell and passed the men up to those above him. Reynolds was then assisted out, and, although almost overcome, quietly hobbled away. War baniac died within a few minutes of his rescue and Moody cannot recover.

MORE FROM TOM WATSON. "My Own Judgment Is We Must Run a
 Full Electoral Ticket" Etc.

Atlanta. July 3O.-Hon. Thomas Wat son telegraphed the Constitution this morning explaining that no answer was sent to last nights query, as published in press dispatches. as the telegraph office was closed. He says in today's tel egram: Tn the event Sewall does not re- tire the populists will put out full cleo toral ticket. There can be no fusion un- less Sewall withdraws. I give you this merely as my opinion"
 !. He sends a second telegram, in which he announces that the executive com- mittee will determine all these questions, and that perhaps the state convention will do it, and adds that he stands by his letter to the Augusta Chronicle, in which he stated that unless Sewall re- tired there were but two plans for &C., tion. One was two distinct electoral tickets, and. second an electoral ticket composed largely of democrats and part ly of popu1ists. He concludes his tele- gram today by the statement: My own judgment is that we must run full elec- toral ticket unless Sewall retires."

Buffalo Can Accommodate Them.

Buffalo, N Y, July 30.-State Commit teeman Cunnen became convinced this morning that his scare of yesterday about the probable inability of Buffalo to take care of few hundred delegates and visitors to the democratic state con- vention on September 16 had no founda- tion and will not press his application to have the date changed.
 The hotels report accommodations for fully 1000 guests, notwithstanding that two other large conventions will meet here on the same date, and there seems no reason to fear that the delegates will not receive proper attention. Leading citizens are offering to keep "open house" if necessary to accommodate the visitors.

seaboard Has the Best of It.

Atlanta, July 30.-A copy of Judge Si- montons order restraining the railroads from cutting rates was served today on Commissioner Haines of the Southern States Freight association. The court modified the injunction yesterday to al- low the Seaboard Air Lines cut of 33 per cent to remain in effect until August g.. This was to allow the road time to give the required ten days notice before ad- vancing rates. AS the situation stands now the Seaboard has reduced rates good for nine days more and the other roads are enjoined from meeting the cut. The order was also modified to allow roads to run excursions. The hearing on the restraining order is set for August 15.
