DEMOCRATS AND EXPANSION.
Party Leaders In Missouri Are In
Perfect Accord.

st. Louis, Aug. S.-A special to
the Post-Dispatch from Springfield,
Mo-, says:
1t is declared here that when the
state Democratic convention meets
Wednesday the leaders will be in per-
feet accord on that plank of h plat
form referring to the acquisition of ter
ritory by the United States. Editor
James Bradshaw. a brother-in-law of
Speaker Farris, candidate for governor,
who Joined Congressman Richard
Bland last week in a letter of apparent
opposition to the requirement of terri
tory, IA today:
''There will be no trouble about the
platform. All that Bland desired from
the start was to prevent a declaration
against the annexation of territory. His
position is just this: We will have
Porto Rico in a short time. When
peace is declared the Americans will
pour into Cuba and develop its indus
tries. Before a year, perhaps, a formal
application will be made to be annexed
TO the United States and Cuba will in
evitably pass into our hands. Why
should the Democratic party of Mis-
souri, declare itself against a proceed
iag which will be shortly consummat-
ed. AS to the Philippines. we have no
business with territory on the other
side of the world, except Suflclent 10
answer for a coaling station or naval
harbor. Therefore, l say that Bland
and Stone are IN perfect accord on this
subject"
Democratic State Committeeman Vir-
gil NJ. Conklin of Carroll, voiced the
Missouri sentiment in its extreme to-
day when he said:
I am in favor of acquiring all the
territory favored by every other Dem
ocrat and in addition a coaling station
at CadiZ."

gathering of full blood Cherokee In
dams ever held in the Indian Territory

survey appointed by General King to
report upon the circumstances attend
ing the informal issuing of blankets,
shoes and clothing by First Lieuten-
ant L. c. Smith, regimental quarter
master of the Twentieth Kansas regi-
ment, has made it's report. While
Lieutenant Smith is not held crimi-
nally careless in the conduct of his
office, yet h responsibility for the
shortage is fastened upon him, n it
is recommended that he make good the
value of the lost supplies, which is APP
proximately 500.
a report has been filed by the board
of survey appointed by General Mer-
riam, finding thai 1,024 pairs of shoes

THREE TRAINMEN KILLED.
Several Mail Clerks Also Injured In
Massachusetts,.

Canton, Mass, Aug. S.-Three men
were killed and a number of mail clerks
were severely injured at Canton juno
ton on the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad today, by an express
mail special from New York to Boston
jumping h tracks. The dead are:
James Sheldon, engineer; G.. K.
Knowlton, fireman; James Schuefeldt,
eng<leer.

placed switch. The special was running
at high speed on a down grade. AT
the bottom of the slope the switch at a
siding failed to work and in an instant
the cars were off the track.
The engine and forward car were
turned over on their sides n the
other three car were thrown from

per cent in 1892 and 4.24 per cent in
1890. Her percentage of the imports
was, in 1898, 6.9S per cent; in 1897, 4.50
per cent; in 1895, ass per cent. and in
1890. 6.1S per cent. The Puget Sound
customs district gained materially in
her share of the m of the
country, her exports in 1898 being Las
per cent of the total, against Lib per
cent in 1897. rs per cent in 1896, so per
cent in 1898 and .39 per cen in 1880,
while the imports of the year, although
slightly less than those of 1897, were
much greater than those of any prior
year.
Taking up the leading articles of u
exports, such as wheat, corn, flour,
ETC., it is found that the North Atlantic
ports have lost materially in their pro-
portion of the export trade, while their
loss becomes the gain of ports farther
south. New York, which in 1898
handled 1871 per cent of the wheat ex-
ported, handled but 24.9 per cent of the
wheat exported in 1898. Her percent
age of the corn export of 1893 was 26-7
per cent, and in 1898 but POS per cent.
Her percentage of the flour export,
which in 1893 was 36.2 per cent, fell to
1878 per e in 1898. while her percent
age of the expectation of oats, which
in 1893 was 1873 per cent, fell to $50
per cent in 1898. Boston exported in
1898 less than 6 per cent of the wheat
crop, against over IA per cent in 1897,
and but So per cent of the corn ex-
ports. against over 10 per cent in 1894.
This loss of grain exports by New
York and Boston became the gain of
Baltimore, Newport News, New Or
leans, Galveston and certain of the
border ports. Baltimore
handled in 1898, AT per ZEN of the
wheat expectations, against 81 per
cent in 1897. Newport News increased
from less than 1 per cent in 1896 to
over 2 per cent in 1898. New Orleans
increased from less than 4 per cent in
1897 to over IL per cent in 1898, and
increased from As per cent
in 1897 to over Z per cent in 1898. In
corn exports, however, New Orleans
and Galveston lost, New Orleans drop
ping from 17.2 per cent of the total
corn exports in 1897 to Ill per cent in
1892, while Galveston dropped from 3.4
per cent in 1897 to % per cent in 1898.

William Newton has arrived in Taco
ma from Dawson, having started out
April ,. He has little to say himself. but
brought out letters which detail conditions
at Dawson up to the time he left. When
he left, Dawson was suffering from an
epidemic of scurvy, caused by improper
food, or rather lack of variety in diet
The hospital was crowded with patients
and others were sick in cabins. The
health conditions were worse than ever
before, and no doubt exists that many
deaths will occur before the miners are
able to take the river steamers to civil
cation. This feeling is so general that
dozcns would come out overland if certain
they could reach tide waters safely at
this season. March was unusually warm
in the Klondike country, and the snow
melted rapidly.

says many new buildings were being
started. Lumber was hard to get at $3.50

50 pound being the lowest prices quoted
for eight and ten penny. Wooden pegs

the same scale. Very few had anything
to sell. Real estate prices were also sky

the result Of being buried in a snowslide
with twenty other miners. several of
whom were killed. Rost left last fall and
reached Pillea river in March. His part
ners were Arthur and Joseph LaLadune
of Chicago. They staked several claims
and have found large deposit. Being
out of wood, they went to mountain and
were cutting timber, when an avalanche
swept upon them, burying them and sew
enteen other miners, who had claims near
them, but whose names Rost did not
know. Arthur LaLadune was taken out
crushed to death. Rost had three ribs
broken and a leg mashed. Ten others
were killed. Rost was buried for ten
hours before the rescuing party dug him
out. He thinks many were not found at
all. He came home as soon as he was
able to leave Dyea, where the injured
were taken. He brought the body Of La
Ladune as far as Chicago with him.

Alleged Spanish Assassination Plot
Is Revealed by One of the Conspira-
tors-Industrial Situation Continues
Hold Lee Responsible for War

hoiu Acc AcSpOns1Dle Tor Wars
A story of an alleged Spanish plot to as
sassinate Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has been the
cause of some correspondence between the
War Department and the regular army
recruiting station in Philadelphia. A rep
utable Philadelphia merchant, whose
name is withheld at his request, called at
the recruiting agency and told the officer
in charge that Spanish workman in his
employ had confessed to him that plot
had been formed to kill Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee. According to the mans story the
conspiracy originated in New York among
Spaniards, who contended that Gen. Lee
was largely responsible for the war with
Spain, because he had, while consul gener-
al at Havana, persistently misrepresent-
ed the condition of affairs in Cuba, and
had thus aroused the luminosity of the
American people against Spain. The
Philadelphia Spaniard at first joined in
the plot, but subsequently weakened from
the fear that he might be chosen to assas-
sinate Lee. He said to his employer that
he had turned informer because he had
rather be called coward and i. traitor
by his associates than be murderer
Captain Craigle, in command of the regu-
lar army recruiting station, to whom this
story was told, after satisfying himself of
the good standing of the merchant and
listening to the story of the Spaniard,
promptly reported the matter to the War
Department and was directed by Secre-
tary Alger to make an investigation Gen.
Lee has been warned.
