MILLIONS FOR THE FARMER.
How He VIII Use Them-Bencft To
Labor.

WASHINGTON, August G.-Assistant-
Secretary Brigham, Of the Agricultural
Department. to-day expressed the opin-
ion that the American farmers would
receive i'm the aggregate from Sioo'w0C'9
to 500 CO0.0O0 in excess OF that received
last year for their farm produces.
''This." he said means much 70 the
farmers. They have learned in the sea-
son of hard times through which they
have passed TO econoInize and TO be
careful i'm buying. They will use this
money received FOR their crops 10 pay
off their debts. cancel mortgages, ana
make improvements on the farms ana
farm buildings. This seems like vast
sum. but statistics sustain the ciairg.'
Colonel Brigham also predicted that
the increase i'm the price OF farm pro-
ducts would benefit the laboring ele-
ment. THE price or labor" he SAID,
.did not decline with the price OF farm
products. and for some time the farm
er was forced TO pay as much Tor the
service of those who did his work as
ever. whilst his receipts were cut in two.
Inasmuch as wages did not decline, 1
see no reason why they should be ex-
pected to rise, to correspond with the
advance in farm products, which are
now bringing only fair prices. sun, the
laboring man will be benefited by this
advance in prices The farmer will dis
charge his indebtedness. and make i'm
proyements which will require labor.
He will purchase more Of the products
of labor putting a vast amount in cir
culation. and this will create demand
for labor in all lines, and men who
have been without employment, or only
partially employed, viii work full time

Lodged In Jail.

DANVILLE, VA. August 27.-(Special)
Danville was startled at II o'clock this
morning. when the report reached here
that DR.. John Roy cabell. a prominent
citizen Of this place, had been foully mur-
dered at his old country home near Cali
lands. I'm this county. twenty-five miles
from Danville. There were various
rumors. but facts and particulars were
very meagre at first. and 1t was only that
he had been shot and killed by Edward
Hankins. a tenant on the Doctors place.
Immediately relatives and friends left
for Callands. and they will bring the body
here for interment tomorrow. This
afternoon a coroners inquest was held.
and the facts developed before the jury
are as follows:

Without replying Hankins. 1t Is stated.

terrible blow on the forehead. knocking
him from the horse and crushing the
skull. A second blow with the axe
crushed the back Of the skull. and Han
kins then stamped upon the prostrate
body. Next he dragged the body TO the
house. left IT i'm back room, and laid
an empty shotgun across II. Hankins
then went to a neighbors. where hts wife
was. and said he left two two men and
DR. Cabell In fight. and suspected the
men had killed Cabell.

not go near the body. During the night

SPANISH GOVERNMENT POLICY.
Azcarraga VIII Follow In Canovas's
Footsteps-WeyIerE Endorsed.

MADRID. August 21.--General Azcar-
raga. the Spanish Premier, at a Cabinet
Council. over which ne presided last
night. declared that the government
would follow in the footsteps OF the late
Senor del Canovas. He declared mat
the government had confidence in Cap
tain General Weyler's military opera
tions in Cuba.
The Premier was aware that the insir-
rection i'm Cuba was approaching an ehd'
and II the United States made any DEM
onstration which he hoped would not be
the case, he said Spain would do her
duty.
The Premier closed by appealing for
the good will OF all classes.
Senior Sagasta. the Liberal leader, mas
made a fresh declaration of the prin-
ciples of the Liberals. He says that II
the daily growing war in Cuba continues
in his opinion the Liberals viii assume
power earlier than has been expected.
Senor Sagasta asserts that the Carlists
are already prepared for an uprising, ana
are only waiting for a false step on the
part Of the government, or some other
favorable opportunity. TO take up arms
WOODFORD AND CUBA.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., August 2I-
General Woodford, the Unite1 States
Minister to Spain, has cabled the State
Department that he will leave Paris on
the 31st for San Sebastian, where the
Queen Regent is spending the summer.
Recent reports from Spain said that the
Queen Regent would not receive Minister
Woodford until she returned to Madrid,
but the State Department has been aware
for some time that General Woodiord
would be received at San Sebastian, un-
less the Queen contemplated returning TO
Madrid very soon after his arrival In
Spain 1t has been unusual 10 receive
foreign Ministers where royal courts have
not been established. Ministers Cush'
ing and Lowell were received at resorts
outside of Madrid. but royal courts had
been established al these courts.
While there has been no apparent hur-
ry by General Woodford TO reach his
destination, yet the fact is apparent that
he would not go to San Sebastian TO te
received unless il was felt that he ought
soon to begin to carry out his ministra-
tions as to the policy of the United states
regarding Cuba. As soon as Genera
Woodfor~ is received he will be in q
position to open negotiations with th'
Spanish Minister Of Foreign Affairs, whC
could not recognize him as Minister until
he had been received by the sovereign.
