Hon. W. A. Harris, although only
six months in the United States
senate, is already regarded as the
leading senator from this state. In
point Of ability there is no COMPARE
son between him and Baker. Harris
was elected for his fitness for the
position. Baker was an accident
sprung up on dicker. Every Re-.
publican in the state should hang
his head in shame when he thinks of
it. Republicans should lit the
party out of the mire and filth into
which it has been dragged by pie
hunting leaders.-Emporia Re

GENERAL WEYLER DENIES.

Never Said He Would Resist Removal
From Command in Cuba.
HAVANA, Oct. 1l.-General Weyler
gave an emphatic and absolute denial
to the reports that he would resist re-
moval from his command in Cuba, aud
in certain contingencies might espouse
the Carlist cause. He said according to
the official organ:
my principles and my military rec
ord are firm guarantees that will
never oppose the constituted govern
ment, whatever it may be. l never
have put obstacles in the way of the
government, and never shall. I have
always obeyed orders, and I always
shall. So far as popular demonstra-
tions 60, accept them only as express
sions Of approval Of my policy and as
tokens Of personal sympathy"
The merchants Of the island, accord
ing to the official report, continue to
send cable messages to Senor Sagasta,
expressing their approval of General
Weyler's campaign aud their conf.
dence in him.

GAGE TO APPEAL
Federal Courts to Be Asked for q
Judicial Interpretation Of
the Dingley Law.
IF the Opinion of the Board
Of Appraisers Should Be
Upheld =
The Government Would Stand to
Lose Half a Million Dollars
at Least.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE Posts Wash
ington special says: The treasury de-
partment will Immediately appeal to
the United States courts for a judicial
Interpretation Of the question Of when
the Dingley tariff bill took effect. The
department., acting on the opinion Of
the attorney general, ruled that all
goods taken out of bond or entered any
time Saturday, July "a were subject to
the new duties. The board of general
appraisers, however, in an opinion by
General Appraiser Somerville, took the
opposite ground, holding that the act
was not effective until p. m. that day.
Should the opinion of the general ap-
praisers be upheld, the treasury will be
compelled to refund the excess of duties
upon all goods entered before the hour
mentioned.
BY upholding the opinion the courts
will also compel the government to re.
fund the ~ cents rebate on each beer
stamp sold on that day. If the law did
not go into effect as to customs duties
until Saturday afternoon it follows that
the internal revenue clause did not be-
come operative until the same hour.
The decision of Judge Somerville, if
upheld, will cost the government at
least $500, 900.

New YORK, Oct. 1l.-Bradstreets
says: Distribution of general merchan.

west is further checked owing to the
prolonged drought in Kentucky, Hi.
nois, Kansas, portions of Missouri, Ne.
braska, Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Telegraphic advices to Bradstreets re.
ports serious damage in Kansas and
parts of Nebraska and Iowa, where
early planted wheat is up and budding
out, and that planted later is not likely
to'sprout. Fall blowing is now impos.
sible, six weeks without rain having
dried up pastures and compelled farmers
to feed stock. Manufacturing indus
tries throughout the West, particularly
iron and steel, continue active and there
is an increasing tendency on the part of
the interior merchants to remit
promptly. While the volume of trade
has decreased at Chicago it is ahead Of
the like record in recent years. There
is moderate improvement in business
in the South, Alabama having raised
the quarantine against Georgia cities
and Central and Northern Texas points
having resumed commercial relations
with Galveston. Planters continue to
hold cotton, which delays collec ticcs.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The cabinet
was in session tor an hour and half, all
members being present except Secretary
Gage. Foreign affairs did not occupy
much of the time and the discussion
was devoted mostly to the forthcoming
annual reports of the several heads of
the departments. There was some dis
cussion of the Cuban question, but ow.
ing to the fact that this matter is in q
transitory condition, no definite action
was decided upon. 1t is recognized
that some time time will be necessary
to demonstrate the policy of the Sa.
gasta cabinet, and the presidents ad.
visers are understood generally to favor
the policy Of allowing reasonable time
before following up the first move made
by Minister Woodford with another of
more pressing character, as originally
had been intended in case the first note
should not lring satisfactory reply.

WEYLER'S SUCCESSOR.

Aarsllal Rlanco Will BE Captain General
of Cuba
MADRID, Oct. 1.-THE cabinet has
decided upon the immediate recall Of
General Weyler from Cuba. A decree
was issued appointing Captain General
Blanco y Arenas, marquis of Pena-
Plata, governor general of the island.
The queen regent will sign the decree
1t once.
According to Ell Heraldo, 10000 rein.
forcements will accompany General
Blanco to Cuba.
General Blanco will be accompanied
by General Arderine as vice governor
of Cuba, by General Gonzale Painals
as chief of staff, and Generals Pando,
Bernal and Canella.
Captain General Ramon Blanco
Arenas, who will succeed Captain Gen.
eral Valeraino Weyler, as governor
general of Cuba, has had his chief ad.
ministrative experience in the Philip
pine islands. He succeeded Captain
General Despujol as captain general of
the Philippines in 1894, and for his
services in that capacity was raised to
the rank of marshal in May of 1895. In
December, '96, after broad hint from
the government that his methods were
not sufficiently severe, he rendered his
designation and was succeeded by Gen.
lral Camille Polavieja, commander of
the Sixth army corps, who was sent to
the Philippines Nth instructions vir-
tually identical with those given to
Captain General Weyler when the lat
ter succeeded Marshal Martinez Cam.
pos in Cuba.
Shortly after this Marshal Blanco
was appointed chief of the military
household of the queen regent. He has
been described as the '.softest hearted
soldier in Spain," and his whole career
indicates his disposition to employ mild
rather than violent measures. He en-
joys the personal frien dship and entire
confidence Of the queen regent.

CHICAGO, Oct l1.-Chicago is threat.
ened with curtailment of her milk
supply in consequence of the drouth
which has almost entirely destroyed the
pastures of the pastures Of the SUR
rounding country. 1t is more than
probab e that rise to winter prices
will te the result. The effect OF the
drouth is already being felt by the milk
dealers OF Chicago aud vicinity. For
the past seven weeks the latter have
been compelled to pay winter prices to
the farmers for all of the product that
was not previously contracted for. The
farmers claim that they are compelled
to exact higher rates than is usual at
this time of year by the fact that they
are feeding their COWS on winter fodder,
which is attended with more expense
than pasturing.
