SOUND MONEY LEAGUE.
Central Council of the National Or.
gapigation Holds q Meeting
in New York.

New York, March e9,-The central
council of the National Sound Money
league, consisting of the vice presidents
of the league, met Tuesday in this city,
reelected the officers of the league,
listened to the reports of officers and
exchanged views as to the vitality of
the silver movement. The western men
reported that the free coinage agitation
was declining, but by no means dead,
and there was general concurrence in
the view of Secretary Gage, expressed
in q letter, that sit will be wise for the
sound money forces to hold Themselves
in line to oppose any fresh attack of the
kind which was SO successfully resisted
in the fall of 1862 Some of the deb
gates pointed out that though free 3al-
yer had been defeated the currency sys-
tenn had not been perfected. The wGk
of the league will continue.

not too strongly emphasize the belief
that the problem of the future will be
greatly simplified if enough funds are
distributed among the Cuban soldiers
now 10 insure their being able to re-
turn to the peaceful pursuits of life.
The assembly will, Senior yillalon says.
probably be dissolved as soon as 'fhe
army is disbanded, as itrepresents only
the Cubans in arms. He believes that
within year convention represent
ing the whole Cuban people will meet
and frame constitution and be ready
for the assumption Of the duties Of
self-goyernment.
Senior Willalon and his colleague will
probably seek an audience with the
president himself, and if this is denied
then they will see the secretary of war.
If the president receives these gentle
men it will be as visiting citizens, not
in their representative capacity. No
such recognition will be accorded them.
If they desire to present petition or
request 10 this government it will have
to go through the ordinary channels.
and in this instance it will be through
the military arm of the government.
Such a petition when presented will be
referred to Gen. Brooke as military
governor of Cuba, and the ore person
authorized to deal with Cuban affairs.

The Unfortunate Man, While Trying

Topeka, Kan, March 30. A special
to the State Journal from Hollen, Kan,
says: Henry Sanderson, the young
farmer who attempted to murder his
sweetheart, Myrtle Fleisher. near
Mayetta Sunday afternoon. and in
stead wounded Mrs. John Fleisher, her
aunt, who was at her side, SO that she
died at two o'clock in the morning,
was lynched at two o'clock in the
morning by mob from Mayetta.
Although nominally in Sheriff
George N. Hass' hands, Sanderson was
under the guard of one man in back
room Of Nate Horr's restaurant. This
was for two reasons. During Sander

after shooting Mrs. Fleisher he started

had been Jail delivery at Holton the
previous night and the prison was not

About two o'clock in the morning
Nate Horn, keeper of the restaurant,
alone on night duty, was surprised by
two men armed with revolvers, who de-
manded Sanderson. AT the same mo-
ment men burst in the back door of the
restaurant with drawn revolvers. The
single guard was paralyzed with fear
and made no resistance. Sanderson
was lying in bed asleep, but was
awakened by the noise.

No News from Dewey.
The navy department received nothing
from Admiral Dewey during the day, and
up to the close of office hours nothing Of
fetal had been received concerning the
achievement of the Yorktown in capturing
a Spanish merchantmen in the Gulf of
Lingayen. While the dispatch is silent as
to the cause of the capture, 1t is surmised
that it was due to her carrying a contra
band of war. This is apparently borne out
by the fact that the gulf leads to the ter
minus OF the railway, which, in turn, leads
to the insurgent capital of Malolos. 1t is
further borne out by the fact of the capture
itself, which would hardly be attempted
against neutral merchant ship unless for
serious reasons. Spain is now practically
IN the position of a neutral, SO that her mer-
chant ships have immunity from capture
unless there Is good foundation for belief
that aid and comfort is being given to the

HOLDS IT'S STRENGTH.
The Business Outlook Continues
Bright In All Parts of the
Country.

New York, March 27.-Bradstreet's says:
STORMY weather, retarding spring distrl-
button in some sections, has impaired an IT.
regular appearance to general trade, while
some few reductions in prices of Leading
staples, notably raw cotton and wool, cop
per and some few other metals, serve to
break the otherwise almost unvarying APP
pearance of strength of staple values
The general commercial situation, now
ever, continues to present much apparent
strength, and the few lines that note a
quieter tone of business find ready supsti-
tutes among other branches, which as yet
have been rather backward. The see-saw
of wheat prices has been upward this
week, theoretically on reports of crop dam
age at home and abroad, but largely owing
to speculative overselling during last
weeks depression, which, by the way, again
developed some good foreign buying. Bet
ter weather at the south and especially I'M
proved roads find reflection in larger vol
ume of receipts of cotton this week. and
the result is fractional shading of prices.
Coffee is slightly lower on the week on
rather less active jobbing inquiry, while
the high price of copper seems at last to
be affecting demand, which has slackened
up, with consequent drop in value OF that
metal, sympathized in by declines in tin
and lead. The iron situation is still one
of great strength, though the volume OF
business Is concededly smaller than for
some weeks past The boot and shoe situ-
alton with jobbers is quite encouraging:
hides, though dull are tlrm, and the same
Is true of leather, while the current de-
mand for the finished product keeps man
ufacturers busy. Cotton goods retain all
their old strength, though somewhat
quieter in demand at first hands, while
the talk of combination in the manufacture
ing branch of trade has seriously unset
tied the price of raw wool, which is weak
and lower. Sugar reflects steady buying
in practically unchanged quotations Lum-
Der is feeling the stimulus of the approach
of active building operations, and white
pine and spruce are higher at nearly all
markets, with hard woods sympathizing
and even outstripping these classes of ma
terial in their upward movement. 1ndus=
trially. the situation is satisfactory. While
actual advances in wages are as yet een'
fined to the cotton manufacturing and the
iron and steel industries, the current of
work in other lines is running full, and
the number of operatives who have gained
some advantage from the activity in all
Industrial lines totals easily 100000"

WANT MORE MONEY.
Cuban AssembIy's Representatives
Reach Washin ston-Object of
Their Mission.

Washington, March 29.-Senors Jose
II. Villalon and A. Havia, who were APP
pointed by the Cuban assembly to pre-
sent to the Washington authorities the
resolutions Of that body, have arrived
in this city. Their mission, in addition
to the presentation of the resolutions,
is to explain in detail the situation
with reference to the insurgcnt army.
While the assembly did not reject the
$3,o00,0oo which Gen. Gomez arranged
with Mr.. Robert p. Porter to receive
and pay off the Cuban troops, they be-
!ieyed it to be entirely inadequate to
meet the situation. They desire at
least $10,000,O00 and as much more as
can be obtained. They argue that if
the Cuban army is disbanded after the
distribution of but 100000 which
would give to each enlisted man about
SOS, that the money so obtained would
be barely sufficient for them to pro-
| cure clothes and return to their homes,
leaving them no margin upon which to
enter upon the peaceful pursuits of life.
! Without the means of subsistence, Sc
nor Villalon says that disorder would
almost inevitably follow, and perhaps
brigandage.
The representatives desire that the
Washington authorities shall fully un-
! derstand the dangers which may fol-
low if the insurgents are disbanded and
sent to their homes without adequate
means to begin life afresh. If the
! United States adheres to the present
understanding with Gen. Gomez and
the army is disbanded upon the $3,ooO..
600 basis and disorder follows the as.
sembly wants its skirts clear of re-
sponsibility. Senior Villalon says that
the assembly desires the most amicable
relations with the United States; that
nothing could exceed the gratitude of
the Cubans for the aid the United
States has rendered, but that they can

partially dressed, and, conducted by
the silent guard, passed out of the door
to his death.
The mob with sanderson marched to
Banner creek, tied a rope around San
derson's neck and fastened the other
end to a beam. They then gave him a
kick and with a few convulsive jerks
Sanderson was dead. His neck was dis
jointed by the fall of 70 feet, and death
must have come almost instantly. The
mob then quickly dispersed.
The body was cut down by Sheriff
Hass about five o'clock in the morning
and taken to a local undertaking estab-

disposition of relatives.
None of the mob are known to the
