Successful Celebration-Crop News
Southwestern University Notes.
Georgetown, Texas, July S.-(SpeciaD
The 1. o. o. F. celebration and picnic
given jointly by the members of that
order Of Florence and Cornhill at
Peyton's grove was grand success.
Grand Representative Keller, of San
Antonio was the orator of the day. In
vited members were present from
Georgetown, Taylor, Bartlett, Granger,
Liberty Hill and other places.
Dinner was spread on table cloths on
the grass under the shade Of the thick
foliage of large oaks and wild grape
vines. There were abundance of edi-
bles for everybody. Nice brown fried
spring chicken went begging for con-
sumers.
There were three thousand people,
present.
1t is over a month since rain of any
consequence has fallen in this coun-'
try. In the black waxy lands in the
eastern portion of the county, which
holds moisture well the crops are do
ing very well, but in the undulating
soil in the central and western por-
ton the moisture is dried up in many
places.
There is no apprehension of a
drought as one good rain would act
like magic within the next ten days.
Merchants are cheeful and drum
mers are actually enthusiastic over
prospects this fall.
@ The board of curators of the South
western University have decided to
postpone the election of regent until
next year.
The office was rendered Prof. r. s.
Hyer, but he declined because the du-
ties would take him, away from the
chair Of science, which he prefers to
the regency.
In accordance with the charter, there
being no election the duties of the re-
gent will fall on DR.. John R. Allen, |
president Of the faculty, who has signi-
fed his willingness to assume the adj
ditional duties.

The first information Bishop Potter
has had of the great coal miners
strike in America and that the men de-
sired him to act as an arbitrator was
given him by a representative of the
Journal and Advertiser. The bishop
did not hesitate an instant when asked
If he would act.
II will cut my visit short here and go
back Immediately he said, 'if these
men really want me to act for them"
Bishop Potter refused to commit HIM
self to any expression of opinion with
regard to the merits of the controver-
sy, on the ground that he was not
sufficiently well informed as to the
causes of the strike, but he did say:
Il learn of this with unmixed grief
and regret, and l shall be ready to
make almost any sacrifice If 1 can do
anything to harmonic those who are
at ISSUE"

IN FOR BIMETALLISM TOOTH
I AND T0ENAIL AND WILL
STAND BY M'KINLEY
She Will Lend Diplomatic Aid To
The Presidents Commission
In Order To Bring
About A National
Agreement.

+ New York, July S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London, says:
"The three special ENJOYS empower
ed by the United States to negotiate
with the European powers for a set
national lines will have two embassies
behind them in place of one. They
produced so good an impression upon
the French government during their
stay in Paris that the French embassy
in London instructed to cooperate
with the United States embassy
in such conferences and negotiations
as may be conducted with the British
government. 1t has been known that
NJ. Meline and the French ministry
were outspoken in expressing their
sympathy for the objects of their mis-
sion and in promising that their con-
currence would not be wanting for the
triumph of the cause of bimetallism
on international lines, but it has not
been suspected that the French govern
ment would be prepared to lend diplo-
matte as well as moral support to this
bimetallism. 1t is, nevertheless, true
that these ENJOYS in their negotiations
with the foreign Office and the chancel-
lor of the exchequer will have the
hearty cooperation of the French and
American embassies.
"Messrs Wolcott, Stevenson and
Paine are not here on an errand of
political adventure. They are success
full negotiators who have carried their
main point in Paris and have enlisted
not only the good will but also the ac-
tive cooperation and diplomatic sup
port of the French government in their
London campaign. Ambassador Hay
has been arduously at work on the
same lines ever since his arrival in
London, and his prestige and inf1u-
ence are now of the greatest possible
service in facilitating the work of the
ENJOYS, who are likely to remain here
several weeks before returning to
Paris. What was originally an effort
on the part of the Mckinley admins
tration to carry out the pledges of the
Republican platform respecting bimet-
allism, grounded on international
agreement, has become already joint
movement on the part of the United
States and France to bring about
settlement of the monetary question
through the action of a new confer
ence. France is the natural ally of the
United States in this movement be-
cause she has greater interest than any
other European state in bimetallism.
The Bank of France contains in it's
vaults over $225,OOO,OOO in silver which
has been withdrawn from circulation
Both governments have a common in
terest in obtaining the adjustment of
this monetary question, which has
caused a disturbance throughout the
commercial world and they are really
supporting each other in the negotia-
tions now opening in London"

AFTER A TRUST.

Nashville, Tenn, July S.-Judge An
derson, of the Criminal court, has spe-
cially charged the grand jury to inves-
tigate the alleged formation of a mil
lers' and wheat buyers trust, and to
indict if the facts disclosed warranted,
declaring that trusts and combinations
were infamous and against the law of
the state. The millers deny that they
have formed a trust or combine but adj
NIT they have a purchasing agent who
acts for all of them, but buys through
grain merchants who deal directly with
the growers.

Land Directly Under the Bow of a
Spanish Man of War.
New York, July S.-A dispatch 10 the
Journal and Advertiser from Havana
says:
An expedition of Cuban filibusters
from Florida is reported to have land
ed on Sunday in Havana province at
the mouth of the Jaruco river. The
Spanish gunboat Reina Maria Cristi-
ma which was cruising about the coast
endeavored to intercept the expedition
but without success.
When the cruiser arrived at the spot
and disembarked her marines they
were fired upon and driven to their
boats by strong rebel force in am
bush. After a brief bombardment of
the insurgent position the warship
hurried to Havana, for achievements.
When she returned with these, the fl
ibusters had already left with their
munitions and supplies for Castillos'
headquarters in the Tapaste hills pur-
sued by Fonsdeveilla's Spanish col
umn which had marched overland
from Minas to intercept their move
ments.

ATE POISONED FOOD.

New York,July S.-Five hundred per-
sons at Wappinger Falls, N. Y, were
poisoned at Fourth of July picnic
by eating ham sandwiches, the meat of
which had been cooked in a copper
bottomed kettle. Three hundred of
the afflicted ones suffered severely and
are not yet well, but none have died.
In every case the symptoms were alike
violent cramps and spasrns, nausea
and burning fever. The physicians
found the meat so thoroughly permeat-
ed with the poison that if anyone
had eaten largely of it the result would
certainly have been fatal

troops and the burning of the town.
The expense of maintaining the garri-
son there has always been heavy and
one which the end did not justify.
| So much sickness prevails among
the troops in Santiago province and
the rebels are so active in that district
and roads are in such an impossible
state that the strain on the Spanish
forces of holding the town is too Sc
we're. Columns of men and thousands
of dollars might have been saved to
Spain and no strategic advantage lost
had Bayamo been given up year ago.
About the time Weyler was making
his warlike speech at Santiago de Gu
ba, circular was issued from head
quarters of the revolutionary army CAL
ling upon every insurgent at work in
the country or in towns to come out
and take up arms. The circular stat
ed that the rebels had plenty of rifles
and ammunition to supply volunteers.
Cuban sympathizers were also told to
be ready to cooperate in case the in
surgents attacked their towns.
Calixto Garcia and Torers were to
look after eastern Cuba. They were
directed to spare all the men they
could, and those under LaCret and Pc
rez have already crossed Jaruco Mo-
ron trocha and are now well into San
ia Clara. The point at which the reb-
els intend to mobilize is at Matanzas.
At the present moment there are four
or five rebel leaders with considerable
bodies of men in the vicinity of Glen
fuegos. 1t was not possible to state
accurately how many men the insur-
gents will be able to muster in Matan-
zas, but a fair estibate is 5000. To
these may be added for aggressive pur-
poses the 1000 rebels under Castillo, in
Havana province and $500 under Du-
casse in Pinar del Rio. The insurgents
are looking out for the landing of ar
tillery along the coast of Matanzas.
The Spanish army has never been so
weakened by sickness before. An off,
cial estimate of the number of Span
ish soldiers in hospitals throughout
the island is $4,000.
Not long ago the Lucane battalion
marched to the front LOO strong; to-
day the battalion numbers $50 men.
The Spanish authorities here have
picked out the Cubans from among the
Competitor prisoners and will give
them separate trials. Gen. Lee states
that if Spain makes any distinction in
the cases of the Cubans he will be
bound to interfere. The trial of Man
ued Fernandez by ordinary court mar
tial has been fixed for next Wednes-
day. General Lee has not received
any notification that the trial will take
lplace He has stated that he will not
interfere until sentence has been pass
ed. The United States, hesSxys, will
not permit the shooting of Fernandez.
