EACH DIRECTION VIA
NO GLAD TIME FOR HIM.
British Vice Consul at Kansas City in
Peck of Trouble.

Kansas City, June 23.-In his eager
ness to make the Kansas City end of
the Victorian jubilee a right royal sort
of an affair, Phillip E. Burrough, Brit
ish vice consul, has involved himself
in all sorts of trouble.
Mr.. Burroughs real trouble began
when he requested the Roman Catholic
Bishops Hogan and Glennon to order
prayers for Queen Victoria offered in
their churches.
He met cold refusal, and in his an
ger he afterWard used uncOmpHmenta-
ry remarks referring to the two bish-
ops. This brought down upon him the
wrath of the Roman Catholics of the
city, particularly those of Celtic blood
Following hard on this came a caustic
church, resigning from the Victorian
committee, and declaring that in invit-
ing the prayers of the Roman Catholics
and ignoring at the same time the Epis-
copal church, Vive Consul Burrough
had insulted the Episcopal church and
its head, Queen Victoria.
To crown the perplexities and nniser-
les of the British vice consul, he has
had a warm time repelling indignant
Americans who want to know why he
flies the British flag and does not place
the stars and stripes beside it.
OF course Vice Consul Burrough has
a right to display the flag of the cOun-
try he represents, but many people do
not know this, and within half an hour
after his union Jack had been flung to
the breeze, Burroughs telephone began
to ring, and protests fairly swarmed in.
He was advised to hang up an Ameri-
can flag and in some cases he was
threatened with bodily harm if he did
not do so.
There is considerable warmth of feel
ing about the matter, and though Bur
rough stands his ground and refuses
to hang out the flag Of the union, he is
much worried and not little alarmed

BLACK FLAG IN IRELAND.
Parnellites Get Up Counter Demon
stration in Dublin.

London, June 28.-The jubilee was
celebrated in almost all parts of Ire
land with enthusiasm by public official
fetes, decora lions, Nominations and
bonfres. The Parnellites, however,
were very busy with counter demon
stratio
In Dublin a procession went through
the streets carrying a black flag and
and smashing the windows of illumin-
ated houses. The city has not been
so thoroughly excited since the death
of ParnelI.
A large meeting was held in the Dub
lin town hall in memory of the rebel
lion of '98 and speeches were made
clarifying the men who were the heroes
of that movement. At Cork the Ma
tional society hung out black flags and
attempted to hoist one on the munich
pal Flagstaff, but the police interfered.
The hilltOps were all abIaZe with bon
fires. At Limerick the police removed
black flags from the town hall and from
a number of public monuments. Dur
ing the evening John Daily addressed
small hostile demonstration. AS against
this. the royal Irish regiment held
military tattoo, and there were several
tOrchlight professions, in all of which
large numbers of citizens participated.
Throughout the United Kingdom and
the colonies and the principal European
cities there were enthusiastic celebra-
lions of the event
The Times, referring editorially to
the presence of United States troops at
the jubilee review in Ottawa, says:
The news of this incident will be
hailed with satisfaction throughout the
length and breadth of the empire. They
too, are of our blood, speak our tongue
and understand, as we understand, the
blessing of civil and religious liberty
under strong, intelligent government.
They have attained it by means differ
ent from ours; but that does not pre-
vent them from joining US, at the bot
tom of their hearts, in the prayer God
Save the Queen. .

Selection of Republican Chairman.

w H Smith of Marysville suggests
that hereafter the Republicans elect
the chairman of the state central COM
mittee in the convention and not leave
the selection of that officer with the
nominee for governor or the other can
didates on the state ticket. Mr.. Smith
says the selection of a man by the can
didate for governor has a tendency for
the chairman so elected to attempt to
serve more efficiently the person who
secured his appointment to the detri-
ment of remaining candida ties.

Mr.. Isaac Homer, proprietor Of the
Burton House, Burton, W. Va, one Of
the most widely known men in the
state, was cured of rheumatism after
three years of suffering. He says: Il
have not sufficient command of Ian
guage to convey any idea of what I
suffered. My physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me, and my
friends were fully convinced that moth
ing but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evans
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co, recommended Chamberlain Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg would burst, but soon after began
using the Pain Balm the swelling be-
gan to decrease, the pain to leave, and
now I consider that I am entirely cured.

LONDON, Oct. 19.-The United States
monetary commissioners have received
no official information regarding the
action taken by the British cabinet on
Saturday last Private advices, how
ever, convince them that the cabinet
has dealt the death blow to their mis-
sion. 1t is expected the commission
ers will shortly be informed that her
majesty's government regrets being
unable to accede to their proposals,
but is willing to listen to any
other plan they may suggest.
But both parties to the conference
know that no other practical
scheme can be advanced. In the event
of the expected reply being received,
the United States commissioners will
return to the United States. The
commissioners believe their failure
means that no further effort in behalf
OF bimeta llism will be made for many
years to come. They attribute their
failure to the opposition of the bankers
and Of the London Times. Until these
forces were aroused, all signs pointed

which was cast into the Missouri river

chest, and which was uncovered by
the receding waters at the mouth Of

cruel and shocking murder, has been
identified as that of Cecile Lavine.
She was nearly three years old. The
mother, Mrs. Lavine, is employed in

marshals, who left for his home
last night They were also armed
with warrants for the arrest of the
grandmother and step-grandfather of
the murdered child, with whom she
was supposed by her mother to be
safely housed. The murder was one
of the most heaTtless and appalling
crimes in the whole history of Jackson
