Monday she here knows when
the attorney general will make his re-

the belief that the attorney generals

be much broader than has heretofore
been intimated. Ii is said in some
quarters that 1t will not only deal
with the case of Capt. Carter, as shown
by the record, but will point out the
connection of others with the case, and
direct special attention to them. This,
If it proves true, will account for the
long period the attorney general has
given to the consideration of the case.
The record is exceedingly vo'unBin,
Gus, and the labor and time involved
in its examination, simply in its bear
ing on Capt. Carter alone, would be
immense. Following out its ramificN
tions as to others, would require much
additional labor and time.

jump out of the buggy. There is at
present no clew as to the identity Of
the dead woman, or the man who was
with her. She is well dressed, and
evidently u woman of refinement. The
street where she was found is in the

The crop report issued by the Little
Rock weather bureau for the week
ending August 2yth shows that during
the week the weather continued hot
and dry, although showers occurred in
some localities on the 25th and 27th.
At Little Rock and Malvern there was
very heavy rain and thunderstorm on
the 25th and Newport on the 27th. All
crops have been seriously injured by
the continued drouth, especially in the
southwestern section. In most sections
cotton continues to shed and is opening
prematurely. Picking has commenced
In most sections, but, on account of the
extreme heat, is not general. Late corn
will be almost an entire fsilue in some
sections, while in others it would be
saved by rain in the near future.
Second crop of potatoes almost total
failure, on account of the continued
drouth, which has caused the seed to
rot in the ground. Apple crop re-
ported short in all sections; in some
localities they continue to rot and dry

DRIFT OF THE REVOLUTION.
The Real Object of the Uprising An
nexati"n to the United States
and stable Government

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 30.--Nelson
b. Clark, of Boston, who has just ar
rived here from Santo Domingo. con-
firms recent advices as to the situa-
ton of affairs in that republic, but he
adds that the revolution is so essen
tally national and devoid of personal
political element that the adherents OF
Jiminez are advising him not to come
TO Santo Domingo for the present.
What the people are clamoring for is
not mere change in the political per-
sonnel, but good government with
financial solyency, with which they as
sociate the idea OF American anncxa-
tion or protectorate.
This, Mr.. Clark adds. is the sole
present object OF the revolution, and
the industrial and commercial condi-
tions are such that the entire nation
indorses the annexation scheme as the
only real solution.

The True Utopia tn he FOund In
Combination Of All Trusts
and Combines.

Cleveland, O., Aug. SOTO combine
object of an incorporation. the papers
for which were taken out in New Jer-
sey short time ago. This movement
is the outcome of the studies for many
years of Russell Thompson, a Cleve-
land newspaper man, working upon
the problem Of giving profitable en-
ployment to the immense productive
capacity which, though obviously
available, is not used. His study has
led him to declare, in what is pro-
nounced to be the foundation of new
school of economies, that business
system in which establishments are
disconnected is organically incapable
of using more than . small part Of all
industrial power in reach, but that
comprehensive consolidation could use
most of it, with q consequent wealth
increase SO great and rapid as to
change the whole condition of society.
Mr.. Thompson formed corporation
some months ago under the names of
the Central Co., fling charter at
Trenton through New Jersey regis
tration and trust company. Several
prominent business men in Cleveland
have been quietly aiding and epcour-
aging these preliminaries. Those who
have financially assisted the promoter
have extensive corporate and banking
connections. Communications were
yesterday addressed to most of the
consolidation directorates, announcing
the project and explaining it.
