BIG SWARM OF BUTTERFL1Es.
Procession of Millions Passes over
NNichifn. Kan.

Wichita Special in Kansas City Times.
OF all the strange phenomena which
have been observed in this section that
which seems the most unprecedented oc-
Cured here to-day in the form of swarm
If butterflies, which in point of number
was countless. The day was extremely
hot and unusually still. Only two other
days in the year registered a higher de-
gree of heat, the thermometer standing 104
in the shade at o'clock.
The first OF the butterflies began to be
noticeable about 3:15 o'clock in the after
noon, and soon literally filled the air. They
all were going in a southery direction
They were not as plentiful in the business
portion as just outside, where there were
lawns, but it seemed that there could be
no room for any more without causing
them to beat themselves to pieces upon
each other.
Comparatively few seemed inclined to
alight, but when they did so each spot was
a mass of brilliant, vibrating color They
seemed to pass around the trees and
scarcely any touched the ground.
For short distance the winged travel
ers resembled a heavy shower of autumn
leaves. The varieties known as papilio
ajax, or the larger yellow, and the da-
Halsai Chlppusi VI DfoWu' seemed TO De the
most plentiful, especially the latter The
fluttering of so many wings produced a
somewhat dizzy sensation. and to the OBJ
server it appeared as though the passing
yellow and brown cloud was the departure,
of Indian summer.
Although there were countless billions
of them, there was no sound, save the gen.
tie and scarcely perceptible purr. After
passing near the ground they seemed to
mount up high i'm the air to the south
ward, unth they were lost in the distance
They continued passing until within a
half hour of sunset.
Millions still remained behind, appar-
emily lost although they did not seem to
collide with anything in their passage.
During part of the time business practi-
cally ceased, crowds gathering to witness
the phenomenon. 1t is supposed that the
butterflies are part of q swarm driven
out of Colorado by the forest fires.

The next heard from Schley was tele-
gram the same day, forwarded by Samp-
son to Secretary Long, informing the de-
partment that Schley was blockading off
Santiago that day and would continue to
do so until the coal supply had been ar
ranged. Sampson then was authorized by
the department to go to Santiago and on
May 80 he proceeded eastward at thirteen
knots speed.
Ii was ten days after Cervera reached
Santiago before Schley sent word to Samp-

SEEKING MERCY FOR CARTER.
Alleged Purpose of Senator PIatt's
Visit to Washington.

From the New York Evening Post.
Washington Oct. Ex-senator Plat was
in Washington to-day to see the Presi-
dent in the interest of his friend, Capt.
o. M. Carter, of the Engineers, the mill
tary convict, over whose head the most
ignominious of punishments is hanging.
The senator's hope, like that of several
other friends of Carter's is that the final
disposal of the case may be STAYED off
till after election, as they feel that the
President, having no longer to fear the
effect of his action upon public opinion,
may be inclined to mercy. The objects
of Platts visit, given out TO inquirers gen
orally, We're business connected with the
receiverships of the two suspended ma
tional banks in which he is interested,
and an effort to induce the President to
visit New York in the interest of the
Republican ticket before the close of the
campaign

coal per day, the lowest consumption be-

When Spain declared war against
the United States by dimissing our
minister there was one among the
statesmen of Europe of whose fervid
appreciation OF America there cannot
be the least doubt from the very nature
OF his utterance, That was Signor
Crispt the man who has checked those
conditions IN italy that have caused
he decay and degeneracy OF Spain
Crispi said The present war Ia an
epoch-mak ing event in the march OF
human freedom; that the prophecy Of
De ToQueville Is being realized and the
institutions of Amrica are revolution
izing those of Europe" OF course to
Americans there cannot be anything
essentially new in this statement
which Is never heless gratifying. We
know II is true In the present In
stance, hut the purblind tory Of Eu-
rope hardly cares yet to admit It. The
agrarian noble Of Germany who feels
the scepter OF power passing from him
to the masses Of the German people,
wants to shut out our American pro-

was ruling at Naples, when Mazstni
was a political pamphletcer starving
on Fulham road in London and Carl
baldi was guerrilla chief at Caprera,
and when all that was rich and right
eous and respectable in the world
frowned upon the Italian patriots and
their cause, this man who today pre-
diets the proud destiny OF America,
then also forecasted a new and united
Italy, He lived to place the capstone
on noble idea through Italy taking
her place as an iuteger In the triple
alliance.
He has driven out the banditti and
toiled every pest against the unity OF
his native country nursed by
princes at their leisure. When others
were blind Crispi was wide awake and
seeing. He saw that union was i'm
possible without national spirit to
sustain It. He therefore set about Gre
ating the national spirit by going from
town to town as tramp editor turn
ing up with u paper in Milan, or In

THE CYCLE IN CATHAY.

A telegram from Shanghai calls
attention to the fact that "Chlnese
ladies who, twenty years ago. were
locked up In harems. may now be
seen bicycling through the town"
So now the secret has come out.
The mystery's explained
The situations key at last
Has surely been obtained,
The revolution which, twas said,
Would soon make China reel.
Is but the revolution OF
The circllng cycle WHEEL
With us the bubble has been pricked,
Tyre-shares have "puncturod" been,
And cycle companies, It's felt,
Their brightest days have seen;
In England, and In Europe. too,
The craze has passed away.
Then, why not to revive It try
In populous Cathay?
Don't talk OF Russia's scheming, then,
Cease, prlthee, to insist
Upon the dread Intentions Of
The Kaiser's Mailed Fist"
The strange proceedings In the East
Don't herald China's doom,
They only serve to introduce
The Chinese cycling boom!

lecture or a political discourse to
all within sound OF his voice The great
world did MOI then as now heed what
Crispi said, but Crispi's accuracy and
Judgment and unwavering self conf
dence were manifest features OF the
character OF the man who was preach
Ing the political regeneration of Italy
at night and manufacturing bombs In
the daytime.
Crispi Is as much OF marvel among
men. as is the country he loves phe-
nomenon among resurrected and
united people. Having forced a new
Italy as from the old scrap iron OF
petty warning states. Crlspi's forth
tude and introspection have preserved
her from falling asunder again. The
spirit OF the BLACK anarchy" has pur-
sued Italy's grand old man so relent-
lessly that Bismarck once jokingly nb-
served to him. II have always be-
lleved that was the most hated man
In my time but perhaps I have been
presumptious In this, for your excel
lency pushes me very hard"
The pleasant prediction OF man
whose prophetic observations give him
unique authority may well buoy up all
loyal Americans at such crisis; and
the great Italian statesman whose
genius together with the smile OF
Queen Marguerite are said ITO be the
two bonds that bind Italy together
need have no doubt but his generous
and encouraging remarks are destined
10 make him and his country many
warm friends In the United States.

duce. He thus pays unconscious
,rbute to Ameica ia this effort TO keep
roof upon the Schloss. The stolid
reader OF the ponderous articles In the
London Times may sheer at the pecu-
liar journalism OF America, but under
the very shadow OF st. Paul's this
feature OF America is making head
way and is gradually converting into
back numbers the once leading jour
nails Of London. Even the sacred pre-
cincts OF the peerage are being in
vaded. /" Crispi is right, we are for
better or worse reyolutionizing Europe,
and no power on earth can stop The
process. America has only TO be
true to herself and to the precepts OF
the fathers OF the republic in order to
bring thrones and crowns and musty
constitutions crumbling to her feet. It
Is greatly to crispi's credit that he
has conceded to us SO manifest des-
tiny. And on the occasion Of the first
foreign war that the United States has
had In So years, any such forecast
cannot but be regarded as highly fiat
tering TO all Americans. 1t is particu-
larry SO from man like Crispi.
AS prophet Crispi has not only the
rare distinction OF being honored In
his own country and In bis own time,
but HIS prophetic forecasts have in
variably been realized. Many years
ago when Italy was under the Joint
tutelage Of Austria and France, when

at Reno Thursday put up full
ticket with the exception of Con-
gresham and Secretary of State.
just why they did not put COM
plete ticket in the field is not quite
well understood yet, but will be fur
Their along in the campaign. They
probably consider that Newlands
and Howell are sure winners on the
Silver Ticket and that it would do
no good to oppose them, also that
by not opposing them these gentle
men will not oppose some of the
Republicans who have been placed
in the field. Newlands does not

THERE is only one change that
can be made in the issue for 1900.
That is the dropping of the mask
by the gold men. In State after
State the Republican party is re-
prdiating the St. Louis platform,
abandoning all pretense of favoring
bimetallism, and declaring broadly
for the gold standard. That, of
course, is what the leaders really
meant in 1896, but they disguised
the fact and deceived many honest
men. 1t is now clear just where
the party organization stands. 1t
is a practical certainty that if
France and India were to signify
their Willingness to join us in an
agreement for the restoration of ell
yer, the Republican party would
not accept. We never believed that
it would, that is, since the election
of Mckinley. If the British govern
ment had agreed to open the Indian
mint, and France had agreed to
open hers, we do not believe that
Mr.. Mckinley would have accepted
the proposition. The influences be-
hind him would not have allowed
it. The claim would Immediately
have been made that the United
States, France and India would not
make a sufficiently strong combina-
ton. If all of Europe had agreed,
excepting only England, it would
still have been insisted that bimet-
allism could not be safely under
taken. The Administration is ab-
solutely committed to the gold
standard, and the probability is that
in 1900 there will be no effort at
disguise. The only change of issue
will be in its greater clearness and
certainty.-H F. Bartine.

CAREFUL estimates made by po-
litical experts at Washington show
that the Republicans will not have
a majority in the next House of
Represen tatives. This means the
dethronement of Gear Reed, who
cannot play the role of Autocrat ex-
cept when the Republicans are in
power.
The present House of Representa-
tives is composed of 202 Republic
cans, 1870 Democrats, and Is Flu
sionists and Populists, giving the
Republicans majority of AZ over
the opposition. Those who forecast
the political complexion of the next
House estimate that it will consist
of 1877 Democrats, 1919 Republicans,
and 26 Fusionists, certain, with 81
doubtful. Should the Republicans
elect in all the doubtful districts
the forecaster figures that they will
have Is less than a majority.
