To Avenge a Murder.

Decatur, H., May 17.-It was learned here that Abraham Dingman, son of Mantle township, whose remains ar rived here to-day from the west, was murdered on ranch near Wakeeny, Kan. The killing grew out of a dis pute over the right of Dingman to re- main on a tract of land. Three men, whose names are unknown to the Ding man family, were involved in the affair. It is said that Kansas jury acquitted the men. Relatives of Ding man will go to Kansas to see that jus tice is meted out to the men who killed him.

THEY TALK AGAINST FUSION.
National Reform Press Members, in Ses- sion at Kansas City, Oppose Future
 Alliance With Any Other Party.

Kansas City, Mo, May 17--If the populist editors of the country who are here attending the session of the National Reform Press assoclation are able to mold the opinion of that party it will never again fuse with republicans, democrats or any other political organization for the purpose of gaining control of the national gov ernment. Ignatius Donnelly, once the populist candidate for president, talked on national affairs to 60 popu- list editors from all over the country who are assembled in convention in Lyceum hall. He was not eloquent in his speech, but in forcible and direct language he advised the popu- lists against fusion and incidentally excoriated William J. Bryan and the democratic party for treachery. The burden of his speech was for the popu- lists to keep to the middle of the road and thus acquire success over ''totter- ing and corrupt democracy Mir. Donnelly's remarks were heartily ap- plauded and it was plain that his audi tors were in sympathy with him.

Dock Laborers Take Umbrage at Capt. Bar ker's Action and Precipitate Trouble
 for Time.

Cienfuegos, May l7.-About five o'clock yesterday afternoon gang of Cuban dock laborers called upon Capt. Barker, captain of the port, and made a demand for back pay As they were violent, Capt. Barker drew his revolver. The laborers returned soon after with 50 others and made similar demand, using obscene and profane language, insulting Capt. Barker and offering threats. The Cuban police were or dered to arrest the malcontents and a general street fight followed, in which one laborer was killed and several per sons were wounded, including three members of the police force. As the Cuban populace became very insulting and threatened revenge, an outbreak was expected, and the Second United States infantry regiment was ordered into the city. The troops patrolled the town yesterday evening.

Arcola, H., May 17.-News reached this city yesterday afternoon of dam aging storm, which covered an area of about mile square four miles west of the little town of Humboldt and six miles south of this city. Stock and poultry stuff suffered severely and many hogs, calves and young stock were swept away and drowned. The water fell in such torrents and with such force that plowed ground. which had been prepared for crop planting, was washed and beaten down in such a manner that will necessitate breaking again before it can be planted.

The Work of the Conference to Be Directed to Arbitration and
 Humanitarian Projects.
PLAN FOR 4 HIGH COURT OF NATIONS.
Each Country to Contribute One Member Outsiders with Plans win Be Snubbed by the Delegates and Petitions Witi Not Be Received - The Dreibund United Against Disarmament.

The Hague, May 1.-The practical abandonment of the plans for universal disarmament before the peace confer ence has even held its first session is n bitter blow to Russia. The czar would never have called the conference but for the hope that his disarmament pro- posals would meet with success, thus enabling Russia to stop the drain on her finances and the crippling of her re- sources brought about by maintaining her great army. This was the prac- tical reason for the issuance of the peace manifesto.
 The work of the conference will now be directed entirely toward arbitration and the success of humanitarian pro- jects in which Russia has only an acad- emic interest. The dreibund comes to the conference united against disarm- ament, but willing to consider other subjects, one of which is a practical plan of arbitration. This contemplates the creation of an international tribu- nal to which five countries shall send judiciaries for certain term of years: then another five countries shall send judiciaries to take their place and so on in regular rotation.
 Another plan which will be consid- cred is the establishment of high court of nations to which each country shall contribute member. This, how ever, will probably be found too cum brous. Outsiders with plans to sub init to the conference will be snnbbed and the delegates will receive no peti- tions whatsoever
 William T. Stead, the English peace enthusiast, and others are seeking re- cognition at The Hague to-day, but the delegates are giving them the marble heartv

Organizing a Boycott.

Guthrie, Ok, May T. The cattlemen of Western Oklahoma are organizing a boycott on Kansas City and threaten to ship all of their cattle to Chicago and South Omaha. The reason for the boycott is the recent action of the Kan sas quarantine board in requiring in- spection of all Oklahoma cattle enter ing the state. This rule was approved by the Missouri board, making ship ment to Kansas City a difficult and ex- pensive matter.
