NEW YORK, June 1.-The Evening Post ' London financial cabegram says: The stock markets here were quiet to-day, but firm. This was notably the case with Americans led by Atchison, which was said to be bought by a bull pool in New York. The interest spread to other shares. It Is believed that the United States loan next week may be subscribed many times over, and this may sentimentally affect the share market.
 The discount market here again shows indications of hardening. More American bills offered for forward delivery than for some time past. The decline in New York exchang Is also factor, while learn from good sources that large mass of German bills, created in connection with the remittance for months hack of Chinese loan funds to London. will mature next week and will mostly be renewed. Gold was quoted to-day at ITS 1ohd. The Russian inquiry is momentarily less keen.

Tries no STEAL THE GLORY

The attempt of the Capital to steal D.
]. GreenwaId's suggestion of a mid
summer fair for raising money for the
auditorium, as its own, is another inter-
esting action on the part of that high
prineipled' paper.
Mr.. Greenwald proposed such a fair
last summer, and several articles on the
subject We're printed in the Journal
nearly a year ago. Again was the pro-
position brought up at the auditorium
meeting several weeks ago, and not on
ly was Mr. GreenwaId's suggestion
commented on favorably, but last week
it was adopted and the title "Mid-sum-
mer Fair practically settled on. Now,
the Capital weeks and months behind
as usual, has the monumental nerve to
state this morning:
MANY plans for the raising of money
are suggested. The Capitals suggestion
that a big fair be held in which every
body in the city can participate, is
favorably received on all Sides
Any credit that is due for suggesting
the midsummer fair belongs to Mr..
D. J. Greenwald. The Capital is priv
ileged to assist in this great fair as the
State Journal has been assisting for a
long time, but it should keep its hands
off of other peoples property in ideas as
in more material things.

TO BLOW UP M'KINLEY.
Conspiracy Discovered in New
Mexico and Colorado.

New York. Feb. 5.-Wylie 3. Childers.
United States attorney for the territory
of New Mexico, has just written the de-
partment of justice the details of what
he considers a dangerous conspiracy, says
the Washington correspondent of the
World.
He relates in precise official form that
a secret agent of one of the big railroad
corporations has just informed him with
every particular that a secret Organiza-
ton known the American Patriotic
league is gaining Roadway in the towns
of Ration and Blossburg, N NJ, and Trim
idad and La Junta, Col, and the sur
rounding country.
This organization has for its motto
Liberty, Land ard Leisure"
In the district represented by sthe towns
mentioned there are about ten thousand
miners and small farmers. During the
A. R. U. strike it was one of the most
turbulent portions of the country. Reg
ular troops were sent there. The strikers
were reduced to subsection, but they Bit
terly resented the invasion by the troops
and have always threatened that when
the next strike came they would teach
the soldiers a lesson.
Mr.. ChiIders represents that the oath
taken by the members of the American
Patriotic league provides that each MEM
Der shall, within sixty days of his swear
ing allegiance, equip himself with a 40
caliber rifle and be ready for an emer-
gency.
The oath also contemplates, says Mr.
Chflders, a struggle with the national
government as each member is pledged
to proceed on orders to accomplish the
death of the president and his cabinet by
the use of dynamite. AS part of their
programme, the members of the New
Mexican contingent have applied to the
adjutant general of the territory to be
enlisted in the national guard of New
ammunition and one or two gatling guns
for battle practice. The adjutant general
has replied that until the various compa-
MES are fully enrolled and organized no
arms can be issued.
Mr.. Childers informs the department
that the threats of these men, high-fown
though they be, are not to be treated
lightly

east, and the rear car after the train
left Philadelphia. The pocket and let

AmputatiOn in John Waide-
Iich'S Case.

John Waidelich, a young German who
has been for several years in the en-
ploy of the Topeka Trunk factory, went
to Leavenworth few days ago to enlist
in the regular army.
He failed in the examination, and, be-
ing out of money, started back to Tope-
ka on foot. That was the night on
which the thermometer fell to z de-
greeS.
From the exposure he froze both feet
When he arrived in Topeka he was ta-
ken i'll and it was found that his case
was most serious. He was taken to the
Salvation Army hospital, where a con-
sultation of physicians was held. Both
his feet had turned black, and there
was no sense of feeling IN them. It was
decided that an operation was necessa-
ry to save the young mans life. This
morning Drs. s. E. Sheldon and Agnes
Mckee Wallace amputated both feet
at the ankle joint
John Waidelich is p years of age. His
parents live near Oakland. He is known
as a hard working young man.
He rallied we'll from the operation to-
day.
