A JACKSON OR A BRYAN
Would Make the Fires of LibertyBurn
Throughout Cuba, Says Con-
gresham Greene.

Washington. June 5.-A large crowd
gathered at the National theater last
night to attend the Cuban meeting in
memory of the Americans who have
sacrificed their lives for Cuba
Speeches were made by Representa-
tives Swanson of Virginia and Greene
of Nebraska and Others
Mr.. Greene declared that not only
should the belligerency resolution be
passed by congress but Spain should be
given so many days to take her soldiers
from the island. He made light of the
probability of war with Spain and said
if she declares war against the United
States 100000 swords would CLEAN in
the scabbards ready to fight and the
blue and the gray would march togeth-
er to the music of Dixie. Had there
been a Jackson or a Bryan in the White
House, he said, he believed the fires of
liberty would now be burning through
out the island of Cuba
Resolutions were adopted calling for
a prompt recognition of Cuban beIliger-
ency and arraigning all who make the
honor and glory of the nation and the
demands of the people subservient to
the interests of the Spanish bondhoId-
ers and the sugar trust"

SUGAR TRUST TRIUMPH.
Gilman Resolution Killed at a Dinner
Party at Senator McMiIlan's.

Washington, June Sit is probable
that the senate will refuse to order an
investigate into the charges brought
sugar schedule in the present tariff bill.
It was proposed to amend the resolu
tiOn introduced 50 as to investigate
contributions to the campaign fund of
1892, as we'll as to the fund of 1896, and
thus take in both the campaigns where
the Democrats won, and the one last
fall in which the Republicans were sue
cessful. This plan was satisfactory to
the Republicans, but the Democrats
protested, claiming that their tariff bill
had been investigated once, and that
the special committee had reported that
nothing was wrong and they did not
see why they should be put on trial
second time.
When this became known yesterday
afternoon a number of the Republicans
thought it best to talk over the matter,
and last night Senator Mcmillan of
Michigan, gave a dinner party at his
residence on Vermont avenue. He had
as his guests a large number of the Re
publican senators. The affair was So
cial one and the only subjects formally
discussed were the TilIman resolution
and the action of the senate committee
on contingent expenses
It was intimated that the committee
would report adversely on the resolu-
tiOn and declare that no investigation
was necessary. Tt was also understood
that because of the refusal of the Dem
OcratS to allow an investigation of the
campaign of 1892 the committee would
report unanimously against any invest
igatiOn. Such being the case, the Re
publicans concluded that they would
support the committee report against
an inVeStiga ton.

That e. P. Ripley Is President
of the Santa Fe.
Orders Issued For Erection OF
a New Shop
HERE TO COST $65,OOO.
More Santa Fe Prosperity For
Topeka
Under the Present Management
Than For Many Years.

The Santa Fe Railroad company has
commenced work on a new Santa Fe
freight shop which will cost in the
neighborhood of $65 900. The new shops
Will be 1872 feet long and 145 feet in
width and will cover something over
three acres of ground just east of the
present shops. They will be built prin-
clpally of corrugated iron.
Heretofore the work of constructing
freight cars has been nearly all done
IN the open air. The company found
that method incOnVenient and the pres
ent project is the result. The new work
shop will have a capacity of 100 freight
cars and there viii be eight tracks the
full length of the building.
The Santa Fe company will soon
commence the erection of a large num-
Der of new freight cars and many of
the old cars will be overhauled and re-
built and the new shop will be cOmplet-
ed in time to be utilized for that pur-
pose.
The contract has not been awarded,
the company doing the work itself. The
building is being constructed under the
supervision of VIM. Archer, superin-
tendent of buildings.
There will be more money expended
in the erection of this new building
than will be spent on any single build
ing in Topeka this summer. 1t is an
improvement that is substantial and
means the employment of more men in
the shops or at least longer time for
those who are employed
1t will be several weeks before the
new building will be completed, but it
will be done in time to be used during
the latter part of the sumemr in the
erection of freight cars.
All of these improvements of the
Santa Fe are due to the progressive
policy of President Ripley. 1t behooves
to Topeka to see that Mr.. Ripley is
suitably honored in the Santa Fe cele-
bratiOn next fall.

Cincinnati, June 5.-A Times-Star
special from Dayton, o., says: Sheriff
McLain Of Urbana arrived in Dayton
at o'clock last night and was quietly
conveyed to the home of his brOther-in-
law. Great effort was made to keep
his presence in this city a secret, and
even after it became known that he
was here twas with great difficulty that
he was located. He explained that his
secrecy was to avoid interviews, but

of friends, and that while he had no
fear, he deferred to their wishes in the
matter.

left Urbana yesterday afternoon. They
took supper at Springfield and left at
7:3O on the Big Four express for this
city.
After the fatalities of the night it is
known that Sheriff McLain and Capt.
Leonard decided before daylight
that there would be no more shooting.

litia went from the Jail to their homes
in citizens clothes. Before this evac-
uation the keys of the Jail were thrown
from a, window to the mob. Coroner
Jansen ordered down MitcheI's body
Immediately after the lynching, but the
feeling was so strong that the crowd
would not allow it to be touched.

LANCASHIRE SLANG.
IFrom the Chicago Chronicle.I

LFrom the Chicago Chronic1e.1
Two American actresses who have
been playing on the variety stage Of
Great Britain returned recently to Chi
cago and astonished their friends with
a display of Lancashire dialect that
would do justice to a native. When the
tourists went abroad they claimed a re-
semblance to the Vassar type and
frowned upon Bowery slang as a col
lege professor would discourage the use
of short sentences. These are some of
the phrases which the vaudeville girls
acquired and used with telling effect in
the presence of their friends:
Shall we fetch the tram?"
Thou looks a'well today"
Where bist ye're gOin'?'
AREN'T these folks awfully fast on
their feet about town, don't yer knOw2''
When the actresses are asked their
reason for taking to English eccen-
tricities they feign entire ignorance of
violating the usages of their country.
They claim that the Lancashire dialect
is perfectly natural to them or they
would never have taken to it. While
they use the English phrases among
their friends they are careful to avoid
them in public.

CampOs Advises the Queen Re-
gent to Recall Him.
This Course Is Urged by Party
Leaders and Newspapers.
CAMPOS TO SUCCEED.
President of the COrtez Sug-
gests His ReappOintmente
Maintenance of Good Relations
With L. s. Is Urged.

Madrid, June 5.-The correspondence
says Marshal Martinez CampOs has ad-
Vised the queen regent against retain
ing General WeyIer as captain general
of Cuba.
Everyone is convinced that the main
question a issue in the present crisis is
the selection of a new governor of Cuba
capable of convincing the people that
Spain is in earnest in the ma tier OF
colonial reforms. The crisis is likely TO
be prolonged; but there is a significant
change of tone visible in the conserva-
tive papers, which are beginning to hint
that the future fate of the conservative
party is not altogether dependent upon
Capt. Gen. Weyler.
The impression gains ground that
rather than see the liberals in office the
conservatives would consent to recall
Weyler; and it is believed that Marshal
Martinez Campus is willing to replace
him.
It is understood that Senor Sagasta
Informed the queen regent that II the
liberals came into Office through the re-
fuSal to cOuntenance foreign dictatiOn
the recall of Weyler would be among
the first steps taken.
New York, June 5.-A special to the
Herald from Madrid says:
1t is established almost beyond a
doubt that the ministerial crisis was in
itiated by the queen regent. she limiting
to SenOr CanOVaS in the most delicate
manner possible that the abstention of
the minorities from parliament was dis
pleasing to her.
The queen regent is still consulting
the party leaders. The popular feeling
more and more favors the liberals COM
ing in.
A special to the Journal from Madrid,
says:
The recall of Captain General Weyler
from Cuba, is almost certain as the
liberals have decided to take this step
if Sagasta assume office. SenOr Pidal,
president of the COrtes, today advised
the queen regent to reform the conserv-
ative cabinet in the direction of hon
estly implanting reforms in Cuba, recall
ing Weyler and sending Campos to the
island.
Campos has advised the queen not to
form an intermediate cabinet, but to
trust the government to the party
Which offers the best and the most def
mite solution for Cuba, and one which
is most calculated to insure good rela-
tions with the United States, while be-
ing consistent with national dignity.

FIRE IN AN ASYLUM.
Hundreds of Screaming Lunatics
Nearly Make Their Escana.


Columbia, S. G., June 5.-Fire. a, riot
and threatened lynching was excite
ment enough to raise pandemonium in
the state asylum yesterday, hundreds
of screaming lunatics adding to the
confusion.
Fire was discovered in the big steam
laundry, where over fifty people, mostly
lunatics, are employed, and about Is, 900
pieces of clothing were being laun-
dered. The local apparatus was in ad-
equate to check the flames, so a gen
eral alarm was sent
A vast crowd Surged in with the fire
men and for time there We're fears
that lunatics had escaped, but they
were quickly corralled. Soon after
work was begun negro employe, who
was charged to keep the crowd out of
the laundry, refused entrance to Fire
Chief May. The chief closed with the
sentinel when another negro struck
May down with a brick on the jaw.
Firemen and policemen quickly seized
both negroes. The superintendent of
the asylum, DR.. BabcOck, coming up,
ordered the men released, as he wished
them to do certain work. The firemen
swore they would withdraw and began
to take up the hose, and were only
pacified when the superintendents s
word was given for surrendering the
offenders after the fire. The laundry
and contents were destroyed.

Washington, June 5.-Senator Aldrich
is beginning to feel the strain of the
tariff work and worry. He is quite i'll
and his physicians have refused to al
low him to go to the senate or to do any
work The daily five hour sessions on
the bill in the senate have been follow
ed bv long meetings of the conference
committee, at which concessions and
compromises have been arranged.
All this, combined with the clamor OF
opposition that has arisen from all
parts of the country against certain
fea lures of his bill, has told seriously on
the Rhode Island senator Mr.. AIdr1ch
has been especially worried over the
harsh reception accorded his sugar
schedule. He has also been considera-
bly, irritated because the senate has re-
jected many of his amendments in the
chemical. glass and earthenware sche-
dulles, and has restored the rates adopt
ed by the house.

first solid shot fired by the garrison of

S. c. When the monument is complet-
ed the ball will be mounted.
jolly states that there is no question

says that the shot was picked up by
his uncle, ''Manse' jolly, on Sullivan's S
island short while after it had been
fired. His uncle was attached to one
of the numerous forts erected on the
island during the months preceding the
evacuation, and, by leave of absence,
he was strolling along the beach about
4 o'clock in the afternoon when the first
shot was fired from one of the bar
bette" guns. The shot was picked up
and secreted until the close of the war,
when it was taken to Jollys home at
Anderson. Upon tManse's'' death the
ball passed into the possession of the
man who has just given it to the con-
federate monument.
