THAT POPULAR LOAN" AGAIN.

The Kansas City Journal of recent date tells
its readers that Kansas has subscribed tor IS
600 900 worth of the new bonds; that the banks
only got few of them--one Topeka bank ge'''
ing $40, 900 worth. 1t gives the whole tn'ng
away, however, by stating that many bank
clerks bought bonds. The Journal didn't say
that some of the banks got their depositors to
buy bonds-not for themselves, but FOR THE
BANKs-yet this is true. The Journal says'too'
that the farmers of Kansas subscribed tor the
bulk of that S., DOC, 900 worth Of bonds, The
Journal knows this is lie, as does everyone
who knows any thing. Well wager a Dig
round dollar that there are not hundred farmers
in the state who subscribed for bonds FOR
THEMSELVES, though a much larger number
NAV have subscribed in the interest OF the
hanks. Kansas farmers are not buying bonds
they can't do it.
If YOU see it in the Kansas City Journal, you
may know it's lie.

BOARD OF INQUIRY'S REPORT.
MAINE BLOWN UP BY AN EXTERNAL FORCE
ncontestabe Evidence That the First Explosion Came From
Below the Ship-No Evidence Of Carelessness the
Part Of the Names OfcersPresident Simply Reports
the Matter Congress

At forty minutes past 0 o'clock the
vessel was suddenly destroyed.
There were two distinct explosions
with n brief interval between them.
The first lifted the forward part Of
the ship very perceptibly, the second,
which was more prolonged, is attrib-
uted by the court to the partial ex-
plosion of two or more of the for
ward magazines.
The evidence of the divers establish
es that the after part of the ship was
practically intact and sank in that con-
dition very few minutes after the
explosion. The forward part was COM
pletely demolished.
Upon the evidence of concurrent ex-
ternal cause, the finding of the court
is as follows:
At frame IL the outer shell of the
ship. from a point eleven and one-half
feet from the middle line of the ship,
and six feet above the keel when in
its normal position, had been forced
up so as to be now about four feet
above the surface of the water; there
fore, about thirty-four feet above
where it. would be had it sunk unin-
jured.

Judge Morrow of the United States
Circuit court, San Francisco, Cal, has
rendered a decision in the suit of the
government against the Coal Dealers
association of California, which de-
clares the organization to be Illegal and
in conflict with the federal law of 1890,
known as the antitrust act. He finds
that the bylaws of the trust are in
violation of the law preventing unlaw
full combinations in restraint OF trade,
and also finds that the trust interferes
with interstate and foreign COM
merGe. Judge Morrow says: at ap-
pears to me that the constitution and
bylaws of the Coal Dealers associa-
tion come within the prohibitions Of
the antitrust act and are therefore un-
lawful" In accordance with the deci-
sion the temporary injunction will be
prepared by the United States District
attorney, and unless the case is carried
to the Supreme court the business OF
buying and selling coal in this city will
not be interfered with by any COM
bine. 1t is doubtful If the trust will
appeal, as Judge Morrow's rulings were
against it on every point, and there is
small hope of victory to be gained by
prolonging the fight.

REPORT OF THE BOARD.

Washington. March 2S.-The follow
court of inquiry:
u. S. s. Iowa. Key West, Fla, Mon
day. March 21, 1S9S.-After n full and
mature consideration of all the testi-
mony before it, the court finds as fol-
lows:
First-That the United States battle
ship Maine arrived in the harbor of
Havana. Cuba, on the 21st day of jan
uary. 1898, and was taken to buoy No.
4, in from five and one-half to six
fathoms of water. by the regular gov
ernment pilot.
The United States consul general at
Havana had notified the authorities at
that place the previous evening of the
intended arrival of the Maine.
Second-The state of discipline on
board the Maine was excellent, and all
orders and regulations in regard to the
care and safety of the ship were strict
ly carried out.
All ammunition was slowed away in
accordance with instructions and prop
er care was taken whenever ammuni-
ton was handled.
Nothing was stored in any one OF the
magazines or shell rooms which was
not permitted to be slowed there.
The magazines and shell rooms were
always locked after having been ex-
amined and opened: and after the de-
struction of the Maine the keys were
found in their proper place in the cap
tain's cabin, everything having been
reported secure that evening Mt s p. m.
The temperature of the magazines
and shell rooms were taken daily and
reported. The only magazine which
had an undue amount of heat was the
after ten-inch magazine, and that did
not explode at the time the Maine was
destroyed.
The torpedo warheads were all
slowed in the after part of the ship un-
der the warm room, and neither caused
nor participated in the destruction Of
the Maine,

to a reversed wv shape, the after
wing of which, about fifteen feet broad
and thirty-two feet in length from
frame II TO frame 25) is doubled back
upon itself against the continuation of
the same plating extending forward.
AT frame IS the vertical keel is brok-
en- in two and keel bent into an angle
similar to the angle formed for the
outside plates. This break is about
six feet below the surface of the water
and about thirty feet above its normal
position.
In the opinion of the court this effect
could have been produced only by the
explosion Of mine situated under the
bottom of the ship. at about frame IS
and somewhat on the port side of the
ship.
The conclusions of the court are:
That the loss of the Maine was not in
any respect due to fault or negligence
on the part of any of the officers or
members of her crew.
That the ship was destroyed by the
explosion of n submarine mine, which
caused the partial explosion Of two or
more of her forward magazines; and.
That no evidence has been obtainable
fixing the responsibility for the destruc-
tion of the Maine upon any person or
persons.
l have directed that the finding of
the court of inquiry and the views of
this government thereon be communi-
Gated to the government of her mnjes-
ty, the queen. and ! do not permit my
self to doubt that the sense of justice
of the Spanish nation will dictate
course of action suggested by honor
and the friendly relations of the two
governments.
1t is the duty of the executive to ad-
wise Congress of the result, and In the
meantime deliberate consideration is
invoked. WILLIAM MCKINLEY,
Executive Mansion. March %, 1893.

The dry gun cotton primers and de-
tonators We're slowed In the cabin aft
and remote from the scene Of the ex-
plosion.
The waste was carefully looked after
on board the Maine to obviate danger.
Special orders in regard to this had
been given by the commanding officer.
Varnishes. dryers. alcohol and other
combustibles of this nature were
slowed on or above the main deck, and
could not have had anything to do with
the destruction of the Maine.
The medical stores were slowed aft
under the ward room and remote from
the scene Of the explosion.
No dangerous stores of any kind Were
slowed below In any of the other store
rooms.
The coal bunkers were inspected. OF
those bunkers adjoining the forward
magazines and shell rooms, four We're
empty, namely, b. B4, B5. BIG, and
A15 had been in use that day and A1G
was full Of New River coal. This coal
had been carefully inspected before
receiving 1t on aboard The bunker in
which 1t was slowed was accessible
on three sides at all times, and the
fourth side at this time, on account of
bunkers B4 and BIG being empty. This
bunker, A16, had been inspected that
day by the engineer officer on duty.
The fire alarms in the bunkers We're
in working order, and there had never
been case of spontaneous combustion
of coal on board the Maine.
The two after boilers of the ship
were in use at the time of the disaster
but for auxiliary purposes only, with II
comparatively low pressure of steam,
and being tended by a reliable watch.
These boilers could not have caused
the explosion of the ship. The forward
boilers have since been found by the

1t is announced that the currency
measure which has been introduced in
the Indian Legislative Council at Cal
cutta is intended to meet the extreme
pressure from which the Indian money
markets are now suffering. The plan
provides for an issue of currency notes
in India against the deposit OF gold in
London to the credit of the Indian
treasury. In this way it is expected
to supply additional circulation in In
dia and at the same time obyiate the
shipment OF gold from England to that
country, which on several occasions
during the past year had been consid-
cred likely proceeding. 1t also facili-
tates the operations of the Indian fin
ance department in connection with Its
gold payments in London.
