Columbus, June 29.-The republican
state executive committee will consist
of seven members this year, as it did
last. The reduction in the size of the
committee which was initiated by
Judge Nash as chairman was so sue
cessful that it will be followed in the
future. Three of the new members
have been practically agreed on, ac-
cording to information furnished by
one of the candidates on the republi-
can state ticket. One will be Judge
Allread, of Darlle county; and another
will be r. l.. Holland of GAINESVILLE.
A third is julius Whiting, of Canton.

Parts Of the State.


Columbus, June 25.-The Pugh law
which was declared to be constitu-
tional by the supreme court yesterday,
provides that all persons signing petit
tions of the minority political parties
or Independent candidates for places
on the official ballot will have to GER
tify their intention to vote the ticket
petitioned for. This means that any
party except the republican and demo.
cratic will have great difficulty in get
ting on the ballot without having in
the previous election cast more than
per cent. of the total vote cast in the
state. 1t is not thought that either of
the minor parties will be able to get
the necessary s,64O voters to signify
their intention to vote the ticket,
though it is barely possible that the
union ticket of the populist, free sill
yer republican and liberty parties may
succeed. This law affects the prohihi-
tionists the most.

BLEW DOWN THE CANVAS.
A Wind Storm Demolishes n Circus Ten
Causlng Two Fatalities.

causing Two FATALITIES.
Sioux City, Iowa, June 25.-A severe
wind storm struck this city last night,
blowing down the main tent of the
Sells-Forepaugh circus while per-
formance was in progress. The col
lapse of the canvas caused a panic in
which score or more of people were
injured. One of them, Adolph Halver-
sent, of Sioux City, died soon after
ward, while Frank Reynolds, an at
tache of the show, is hurt internally
and it is believed will die.
The day was hot and sultry and the
evening threatening, but crowds of
country people had come to town and
they with the natives made up n crowd
that almost filled the tents for the
evening performance. At about
o'clock the hot wind which had been
blowing all afternoon freshened and
in few minutes deluge of rain fell
upon the hundreds of pleasure seekers,
pelting through their canvas shelter
and drenching them. This had lasted
but few minutes when the great
center pole begun to sway and the guy
ropes TO creak from the pressure of
the wind, which had become gale.
Fright took possession of the crowd
and a wild scramble for the exits be-
gan. Scores of the employees of the
circus were called into service in an
attempt to calm the fears of the panic
stricken people and to save them from
danger they We're momentarily MAX

for the open air. Many were tramped

two miles north of Bedford. The

with a coal oil can in her hand. a
few moments later the building was
ablaze and Anna Forester was seen
kneeling in the midst of the flames,
apparently praying that her life,
which she had no desire to continue,
might be taken away. No cause is
known for the act.

June est is believed Admiral Ger
vera contemplated making dash out
of the harbor Saturday night. Four
columns of smoke were seen at sun
down advancing towards the mouth
of the harbor and two small boats, be-
lieved to be torpedo boat destroyers,
were observed near the sunlen collier
Merrimac. Rear Admiral Sampson
ordered extra precautions to be taken.
No ships came out Shortly after
midnight the dynamite cruiser Vesu-
vius fired three gun cotton shells in
the direction of MORO castle. They

BOUGHT EIGHT SHIPS.
The Government Purchases n Large Lot
OF Steamers for Transporting Troops.

OF steamers Tor Transporting Troops.
Washington, June 25.-An impor-
tant addition to the war departments
list of vessels available for transport
and freight service was announced
Friday. This was the purchase of
eight large ships of over 5000 tons
burden each, for use on the Atlantic
coast. Seven of the eight to be used
on the Atlantic coast were obtained
from the Atlantic transport line,
which operates it's steamers from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore to Lon
dom. Heretofore the practice of the
war department has been to charter
all the vessels which it has used, and
the announcement of the acquisition
of the ships by purchase is a new de-
parture in the policy of the govern
ment, due, it is believed, to the fact
that the owners and agents of the
companies have asked such high
prices.
1t was authoritatively stated yester-
day that impressment of ships on the
Atlantic coast would not be resorted
to, but such as were desired would be
obtained in some other way. The pur-
chase price of the ships secured from
the Atlantic transport line was not
stated at the department, but it is up-
derstood that the amount was nearly
$4,O00,0O0
Added to the dozen ships already
available for this expedition, the eight
vessels make up feet that will trans
port an army as large as that which
Gen. Shafter took with him. Nine of
the transports heretofore chartered
by the government are at Tampa and
two are on their way there from New
York, while one remains ut the latter

Coal Trrst nm, atened wien Disruptlon

Columbus, June 29.-The Ohio coal
trust, which was formed at Detroit
during the winter, and which was de-
signed to keep up carrying rates
among the coal carrying roads of Ohio,
is threatened with disruption. 1t is
alleged that several of the roads that
entered into the agreement have vio-
lated their contract and are shipping
coal below the rates fixed by the trust.
In order to regulate the amount to be
carried by each of the roads, a central
distributing agency was established at
Columbus, but of late several of the
roads have ignored the agency alto
gether and are carrying all the coal
they can get. The roads that are not
receiving their share of the business
are the ones that are making the howl.

metallic agreement impossible. because France
could not accept a less ratio than 1Jiz 10 ].
which could not be secured. To his view 1t
seemed impossible that any nation by its own
unaided efforts should rehabilitate silver. Amer
lea had made a great effort. but had not sue
ceeded H contended that the policy intro
