DICK BLUE ON WAR PATH
Ex-COngressman Scores Governor
Stanley In a Speech.

When the convention at Hutchinson
nominated w. J. Bailey in place of
Dick Blue for congressman at large,
Blue became angry and has apparently
been looking for an opportunity to get
even with Stanley and his friends. Blue
has recently INDUCED in an attack upon
the governor which has made the STAN
ley contingent very indignant.
In the course of a speech at a reunion
pitched into Stanley and referred to
him frequently as the stay-at-hOme
governor. This insinuation was against
the governors war record. Mr.. Stan
ley was but Is years old at the out
break of the civil war, yet Mr.. Blue
thinks he should have been a comrade
Blues attack was along other lines and
has served to stir up the animals at
the state house in great style.

REPAIR THE MINES.
State Will Borrow Money to Repair

Some months ago the state mine in
spector made an examination of the

the repairs to the shaft has been COM
pleted and amounts to 81 500.
The executive council viii furnish the
money to make the necessary repairs
which will begin at once. The council
has not the money but will negotiate a
loan and refer the payment to the next
session of the legislature. The mines
must be repaired and as soon as pos
sible, therefore the council will admit
Of no more delay than is absolutely

To Head OF EiIihusters.

Jacksonville, Fla, July 17-United
States District Attorney Stripping received
a telegram from Attorney General Griggs
that reports had been made to his depart
ment that efforts would be made to start
flibustering expeditions from Florida for
Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua The
District Attorney at once teiegraphed all
officers at the Southern ports of the State
to be on the alert and to send full informa-
ton of anything in the least suspicious or
tending to show that any such attempts
were to be made.
1t is alleged that the Consuls of
these countries have made representations
that Florida and Cuban ports were to be
made starting points for such expeditions.
The officers here do not think the reports
have any foundation. The vague and in
definite nature of the information from
the Department of Justice at Washington
leaves little basis on which the officials
in the South can work, although energetic
efforts will be made to trace to their
sources all clews that may be brought to
their attention.

A Church Fight in Court.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 17.-The question
of whether the pastor or the trustees are
the debating power in the Methodist Epis-
copal Church is one which the courts were
asked to solve yesterday. Judge Wood
ward heard the application for prelimi-
nary Injunction to compel the trustees to
deliver the keys of the First Welsh Meth
0dist Episcopal Church of this city to the
pastor, the Rev. Hugh p. Morgan, md to
restrain them from interfering with the
services. The church has been closed for
several weeks by the trustees, who re-
fused TO allow the Rev. Mr. Morgan to
hold services there because he would rot
hold one service each Sunday in Welsh
Judge Woodward asked the attorneys if
it would not be advisable to settle the
matter out of court and he was informed
that efforts in that direction had failed
The case was set down for argument at

A NEW COMPETITOR APPEARS.
kaiser Wilhelm May Steer the Me-
teOr Against the Shamrock.

Paris, July 1.-THE "Heralds' Euro
pean edition publishes the following from
its Southampton correspondent:
"A rumor that is highly incredible, but
which is persistently repeated here and
finds many believers, is that the Kaiser is
going TO take run over here and steer the
Meteor in the trial with the Shamrock.
Public opinion continues to favor the idea
that the trial should be with the Meteor
rather than with the Britannia, and Mr..
Fife is one of the advocates of the proposed
change.
According to the statement Of one who
saw the Shamrock in the dry dock, she has
a fin keel, which is very deep and runs
away forward and aft. In this she differs
essentially from the Meteor, Britannia. and
Columbia, whose plans are published and
illustrated in this weeks 'Yachtsman' with
the comment that their publication is from
the Scientific American This is in
strong contrast to the secrecy that has
been observed in everything that pertains
to the challenging yacht.
My informant further adds that the
keel Of the Shamrock is so small that it
was held On three blocks only. As for the
