KIMBALL'S BOMB.
Charges Opponent With Being the
Machine Candidate.

The following telegram from Howard,
concerning the Republican county con-
vention yesterday, is self-explanatory
Howard, Kan, March 21.-At the
Republican county convention, held in
this city today, c. H. Kimban of Par
sons, candidate for congress. exploded a
political shell among the delegates by
accusing the Republican party of being
run by the postoffice gang. He claimed
that postoffices had gone to the highest
bidder all eyer the Third district. He
announced himself as the anti-boss can
didate and intimated that Wheatley
who was present, was the candidate of
the machine.
This is only a part of what he pro-
claimed, and it is thought by nearly all
Republicans here that he has ruined his
chances for the nomination. It is now
generally conceded that WheatIey of
Galena will be the nominee of the Cha
mute convention next Wednesday,

SHORTAGE OF IRON
In Europe Revives Export Trade OF
This Side.

Ills 140Ss
New York, March 22.-Discussing the
condition of the iron and metal trades
The Iron Age says:
No important developments have oc-
Cured during the week suggestive of
the future course of the iron trade.
The situation in BeSSemer pig continues
strong, with rather heavy transactions
at Pittsburg and in the east. Large
consumers are in need of more material
of this character The demand for
foundry pig iron, on the other hand, is
not what it should be at this time, and
on some grades concessions must be
made to secure orders. It is possible
that if the good demand for Bessemer
pig continues the foundry pig situation
may be relieved by the diverting of fur
Vided supplies of ore can be obtained.
The outlook is becoming more favor
able for export business in pig iron.
Foreign buyers are now in this city he
gotiating for large lots. In one case
Is, 900 tons are wanted, and in another
10, 900 tons. The foreign demand covers
Bessemer, basic and foundry grades.
Prices in England have been advancing
sharply and a very small difference in
price now obtains between the views
of foreign buyers and American pro-
ducers. The English market has APP
parently been kept down by fear of
American competition. 1t was thought
on the other side that our prices here
were not strongly held, and that Ameri-
can makers We're likely to put their
rates as low as necessary to capture
foreign business. If satisfactory ar
rangements can NOW be made for
freight room, it is likely that consider
able business for export will soon be
put through
With such a prospect for enlargement
of trade ahead, a moderate reduction
in pig iron prices here would not be a.
serious matter for all business interests
concerned. The shortage of iron in
Europe offers an opportunity for the
diSnOSaI of q. SURPLUS here.

LONDON, uly 26.-While the latest
impression derived from the array Of
conflicting kilograms from the far east
is that a portion of the foreign colony
at Pekin may have escaped slaughter
until recent date, the general consen-
sus of the best informed opinion OF
Europe seems to continue to favor the
acceptance of the worst news and
prompt action thereon, the contention
being that the only possibility of defin-
ltely ascertaining the truth is by the
allied commanders inquiring at Pekin.
Judging from the news from Tien Ism.

ii Hung Chang has taken up his abode
at the arsenal, as measure of precau-

Apparently the foreign consuls at
Shanghai have informed the viceroy
that unless he obtained definite dis
PATCHES from Pekin within five days
they would conclude the ministers had
been murdered and act accordingly.
Reports are recurrenI that number
of missionaries, either American or

One of the dispatches from Shanghai,

THE Canadian missionaries who es-
| capped from Holman had a terrible ex-
perience en- route here. The natives
everywhere were hostile. The rabble
attacked the refugees, beat them and
tore the clothes from their backs. The

The dispatch continues:
Canton remain comparatively quiet.
| The natives, however, are beginning to
