Bidding for the concIaye.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 2S.-At
this mornings session Of the supreme
lodge, X. Of F., Representative Crow.
ley, of California, introduced a resolu-
tion to hold the next biennial conclave
at San Francisco. The name of the city
was received with applause, and the
resolution was referred to the commit
tee having the matter, in charge. While
San Francisco is the favorite city, thus
far, the feeling Of the supreme lodge is
that it cannot afford the expense in
cidental to holding the conclave SO far
from the center of population.
Indianapolis seems to have the call
among members outside Of the COM
mittee.

WHOLE FAMILY KILLED.
A crazed Mother Shoots Her Three Children
and Then Suicides.

KANSAS CRY, Mo August 2S.-At
noon, to-day, the family OF Charles w.
Green, travelling passenger agent OF
the Big Four railway. consisting OF
Mrs. Green aud three children, boy
aged thirteen, girl aged nine, and a
gIrl of six, was found dead in their
home. All the little ones we're in beds,
while the mother lay dead In door
way, with revolver by her side. The
murder and suicide are supposed to have
occurred Wednes lay morning about 2
o'c . *, as at that hour neighbe rs heard
pistol shots near the Green home, but
no investigation was made until this
morning, when the non-appears nee OF
the Green family led to inquiry, ard the
dead bodies OF the family were found.
Mrs. Green had not undressed for bed,
and it was evident that she had put
the children to bed, and waiting until
they were asleep, sent then into eter-
nifty. The only explanation OF the ter
rible crime is that Mrs. Green was
crazy. Mr.. Green is now on his way
from Salt Lake, where he went a week
ago, on business trip. His friends
say his home life was especially happy.

Cuba

The Cuban situation was made the
chief theme of the presidents annual
message. though other subjects were
quite extensively treated upon The
president gave what may be said TO be
the first reliable and authentic report
of the conditions that exist in Cuba
that our people have had presented.
ltappcars that large majority Of
the native Cubans are in sympathy
with the rebellion, which has spread
all over the island, from small be-
ginning somewhat more than year
ago. The natural conditions greatly
favor the insurgents. They are in
ured to the climate. which is especially
deadly TO foreigners such as the Span
ish troops are. Then they are aided
by the physical configurement of the
country, cut mp as il is into mountain
Gus and billy regions. patches of thick
underbrush and woods, with little open
land. II is easy to strike a quick blow
and retire beyond the reach of pursuit.
First the insurgents and later both
sides have destroyed all property that
might by any possibility be of use to
their opponents The industries of
Cuba are paralyZcd Much wanton in
jury is done. The country is at the
mercy Of the soldiers and lawless
brigandS. Few heavy engagements
have taken place, but the general sue
cess has been with the Cubans. until
the Spanish are left in undisputed pos
session of only few seaports and adj
jacent territory. The Spaniards
