Leland Gets His Man.

The Wn-Nemaha-Do Doniphan Repub-
lican judicial convention has at last
ended. Leland won and secured the
nomination of his man-W, /. Stuart
Ii is alleged that he agreed months ago
that Buckles, Of Brown, should have the
nomination in consideration Of dele
CATION from that county for Bailey for
Congress. When the Doniphan county
primaries were held Leland started Stu
art in the race, telling Buckles friends
that he had to do 1t to keep Emery
Nemaha's candidate, from carrying the
county. Then at the judicial convention
the Brown county delegates threatened
to go to Emery II Leland did not fulfill
his pledge and nominate Buckles. To
quiet them on this score he drew an
agreement that Brown and Doniphan
delegates should not vote for a Nemaha
county man under any circumstances,
and every delegate from the two coun-
ties signed it. Then the Nemaha dele
gates went home mad. After the other
two counties balloted while an ad-
jOurnment was taken until August 1.
When the convention reassembled that
day no Nemaha delegates were present
and the ballOting proceeded as before.
Later two Of the twelve Nemaha dele
gates came in and after a time they
voted for Stuart. This gave him four
teen to Buckles twelve The chairman
insisted that to nominate majority OF
the delegates in the convention before
the bolt was necessary. Leland then
called attention to a resolution which
had been adopted in Nemaha authoriz-
ing any part Of the delegation which
might be present to cast the whole vote.
On the next roll-call the two Nemaha
men cast the entire twelve votes for Stu
art, and he was declared the nominee.
The Brown county delegates left the
hall, declaring that they would not vote
to make the nomination unanimous and
that there were not enough such men as
the two Nemaha delegates in the district
to elect the nominee 1t Is alleged by
Stuart's enemies that one of the Mem
aha delegates who aided Cy has been in
the penitentiary twice and that his rec
ORD is not such that self-respecting men
should be bound by acts brought about
| by his aid.

THE STATE GOVERNMENT.

The Kansas Historical Society has a
larger collection OF newspaper files In it's
library than can be found in any other
library in the world.
The present law only gives Railroad
Commissioners power to recommend
changes in train service, but carries no
authority, according to the courts, to
compel compliance with its orders.
The State Board Of Equalization has
reduced land valuations in Stevens,
Morton, Grant and Hamilton counties
to 75 cents per acre, and in Greeley,
Wichita, Scott, Finney, Meade, Seward,
Stanton, Kearny and Haskell it has been
lowered to 95 cents per acre.
Governor Leedy has received notice
that Kansas soldiers will be paid by the
government from the date of enlistment
instead Of from the date Of muster In
most cases more than a week elapsed
between the two days, and the Governor
has been urging the War department to
pay the boys for this time. He has at
last succeeded.
A Minneapolis creamery has suffered
a severe loss by fire and much Of the in
surance was carried by the Creamery
Mutual Assurance Company, which is
not licensed to do business in Kansas.
Superintendent McNall says that this
company never has applied for admis-
sion, that it cannot be made a defend
ant in Kansas suit, and that the only
way the insured can do anything is to
60 into the State where it is located and
bring suit. He also advises people to
notify him when an agent of an unli-
censed company shows up, and he will
prosecute him.

TO END THE WAR.
All Military and Naval Movements to
Be Pushed.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day was largely devoted TO a
discussion of present and prospective
army and navy movements which cannot
be made public A report had been re-
ceived from Commodore Schley. which
was read by Secretary Long, giving in a
general way an account of his recent en-
gagement at Santiago.
There seems to be no doubt that 1t is
the purpose of the government TO push
forward. with greatest possible expedi-
ton, the military and naval movements
against Santiago and Porto Rico. and for
the purpose of making the result Of both
expeditions absolutely certain, large mill
tary forces will be dispatched to both
points to cooperate with the navy and
the insurgents.
The purpose is to make them over
whelming in strength and numbers, and
so crush the enemy at every point, and
bring the war to a speedy termination.

June 3.-This has been the most active
day at the park since the volunteer army
assembled, every regiment and brigade
on the field having spent some four to

Steps were taken to-day to begin as

sCHLEY's SECOND ATTACK.
What London Thinks of It-Peace
Sentiment Commercial Only.


Sentiment Commercial Only.
LONDON, June 4.-The rumors of an
other attack upon Santiago de Cuba are
interpreted to mean that Commodore
Schley has assured himself beyond doubt
that Admiral Cerveras squadron is inside
the harbor. Otherwise he would not risk
an attack until the military expedition
had arrived. At the same time it is re-
cognized that the Americans have every
motive to force action at the earliest
possible moment, both to prevent the
possible escape of Cervera and TO avoid
giving the Spaniards a chance to repair
and strengthen their Notifications.
The Daily News, though Joining in the
belief that Cervera is at Santiago says:
$50 long as he remains undefeated, so
long will the war continue. His escape
would be a brilliant stroke of strategy,
as one squadron must follow him, leaving
the way clear for another Spanish squad
ron"
With regard to peace proposals from
Madrid and Paris. no great Importance
is attached to them in London, where it
is recognized that until decisive action
has been fought or the Spanish navy has
been crushed there is little likelihood
that the Powers will interfere. The peace
sentiment is merely connected with bust
ness and commercial interests that are
being injured by the war.

Firing Cubsn Plantations.
(Boston Globe.)

Professor Marshall, head Instructor OF
chemistry at the University OF PennsyI-
vania, in the course of a recent lecture on
the action of phosphorus, read some ex-
tracts from a letter he had received from
Cuba, which told OF novel use the IN
surgents had made Of this chemical.
In the summer OF 1895, the writer or the
letter had lived in a province where the
raising of sugar was the principal In
dustry. The crop was just ready for
harvesting when the Spanish soldiers
took possession OF the district and pro-
claimed martial law. The fields through
out the district were covered with ripe
sugar cane. which is very innammable.
Despite the presence OF the soldiers,
the insurgent managed TO tre several
fields. The force of sentries was
doubled, but although no insurgents were
seen, the fires became more frequent.
1t was concluded that the lring was
being done by strategy. and all suspicious
characters were thereafter forced 20
give an account OF themselves. An ola
farmer carrying a large basket, VINO was
in the habit OF passing the lines regu-
larry, was stopping several times.
but nothing more suspicious than rolls
Of butter was found upon him.
1t was noticed, however, that the nres
always followed i'm the wake or this
farmer. and spy was detailed 10 follow
him. one day. Unaware OF his surveu-
lance. the suspect stopped at sugar
field and threw several or his rolls OF
butter among the cane lie was az once
arrested. and confessed TO the burning
Of the fields.
1t seems that each Of these rolls OF but
ter contained a quantity OF phosphorus,
which, as is wellknown ignltes spon-
taneously when exposed to the air. The
heat OF the sun would melt the butter
and expose the phosphorus. The length
OF time II took TO melt the butter allowed
the incendiary TO get out OF the neigh
bOrhOod befora the flames broke out.
