A SOAKING Rain.
From Two to Three Inches Fell
in Northern Counties.

soaking rain fell over the middle
and eastern portions of Kansas last
night and early this morning. In the
northern counties, where it was needed
the most, from two to three inches fell
and as result the prospects of corn
crop in that section are much brighter
The Santa Fe general offices report
that rain fell on every division with
the exception of the western division,
from Dodge City to Denver, last night.
In Oklahoma and New Mexico the rain
was heavier than in Kansas
Another good soaking rain fell over
the northern part of Kansas last night
The rain was general over the lines of
the Rock Island from Omaha to the
western part of Kansas. The western
division is clear while the others are
cloudy. The temperature ranges from
65 to rs. On the Omaha division from
to inches of rain fell, with some
hail at Rokeby. On the Fairbury divi-
sion from 1 to 21z inches fell except at
was very light. From 1 to 2 inches fell
on the Horton branch and good rains
visited the Herington and Chicasha
divisions
A peculiar fact is that in the last two
or three rains the fall has been light at
and around Mankato and neighboring
towns, when on all sides the fall has
been heavy. This section of the coun
try IS IN neeQ OF rain. Ihe corn crop
this year will be lost if a rain does not
come soon
HALF INCH IN TOPEKA.
The elements slipped up on the
weather forecaster yesterday and

hat.

high barometer in Washington moved
rapidly southeastward and sent the

yesterday to 20 at midnight. The sud
den change brought the rain, which
commenced at 10:40 and ended at 4:30
o'clock this morning, a little over a half
inch falling. The forecast to-day is
fair tonight except showers in east
portion. Saturday fair and warmer
The maximum temperature up to II

ANDREE'S REMAINS.
Believed to Have Been Found on
East Coast of Hudson Bay.

Chicago, July 2O.-A special from Fort
William, Ont, to the Times-Herald,
says:
Indians hunting on the east coast of
Hudson Bay have brought word to the
Hudson Bay company's post on the
west coast of James Bay that they
found last spring vast quantity of
wreckage, the bodies of two men, and
a man in the last stage of the death
struggle. The Indians reported that
they could not understand the language
he spoke, but that it was not English.
He died while they were there and they
returned to the trading post without
bringing any evidence of the strange
occurrence.
1t is. believed by the officials of the
Hudson Bay company that the Indians
witnessed the ending of Andree's at
tempt to reach the north pole by balloon.
They had never seen a balloon, but from
their description of the other wreckage
the officials are firmly convinced that it
was the remnants of Andree's air ship.
A party guided by the same Indians has
been sent out to bring evidence to
establish the identity of the party
Early last fall people near Moose fac
tory asserted they saw a large balloon
passing over to the northward and this
tends to confirm the story of the Indian
hunters

PARIS HAS RELIABLE NEWS.
Paris, July 2O-The foreign office has
received information from a Chinese
source in which. however, certain reli-
ance may be placed, that the foreign
ministers at Pekin have not been mas
sacred According to this information
on July Z. the ministers were attacked
and the legations burned, but the for
eigners succeeded in crossing the city to
Prince Ching's palace, which was then
barricaded and the Europeans were
holding their own up to the time the
news left, July 9. Since then nothing

AtchisOn Man Will Not Stand in
Way of Fusion.
Nomination For Associate JUS
tice Must Be Unanimous.
APPEARS INDIFFERENT
Does Not Know Whether Name
Will Be Presented.
May Mean the Nomination of q
Democrat.

D. c. Tillotson, chairman of the ma
tional Free Silver Republican commit
tee, has obtained from Judge David
Martin, as the result of a conference, a
promise to withdraw. if necessary, in
the interest Of harmony, and not permit
the use of his name in connection with
the office of associate justice at Fort
Scott
This conference was prompted by the
idea that the associate justiceship may
cause a split in the convention. The
Populists are assumed to be of the opin-
ION that Martin must be nominated
James w. Orr and B. P. Waggener are
of the opposite opinion, and this view is
held by leading Democrats, the senti-
ment of that party being against Judge
Martin.
The indications have been that the
Democrats would insist against Martin.
and that the POpulists might throw the
fusion arrangement to the four winds
and name him.
However, Judge Martin will not per-
NIT the conventions to take this action.
He states positively that under no cir
cumstances will he accept the nomina-
ton and make the race as a Popultst
nominee. The nomination must be made,
if he is placed on the ticket, by the Sill
yer Republicans, the Democrats and the
Populists. This position on the part Of
Mr.. Martin will avoid the split which
has been anticipated.
II will decline the nomination if it be
otherwise made" he says.
But this is all purely speculative"
said Judge Martin. Il do not know that
my name will be presented to the Fort
Scott convention. 1 do not know that it
will be mentioned. I have not authoriz-
ed any person to place me in nomina-
tion, nor have 1 forbidden the use OF
my name. If all of the fusion forces de-
sire me for their candidate 1 would
make the race, but if any one of the
a L
some other choice l could not accept. 1t
is more to be desired that we win this
year than that the ambition of some in
dividual may be gratified."

he gave evidences OF pleasure at the
news. Later when the state depart

Judge Frear's Interview.


In response to request from
the Star Judge Frear OF the
Supreme Court wrote out the fol-
lowing interview: There is
really no occasion for saying anything.
Judge Humphreys seems 10 have sought
an excuse for erecting men OF straw 70
knock down, and appears TO have been
even anxious 20 go out OF his way 10
sling mud at others. apparently for pur-
poses of self-advertising- He appears
to be offended at a portion of Mr..
Smiths letter TO Mr.. Porter, which
no one took as rejecting on him Judge
Humphreys spoke 10 me yesterday OF
this matter and l told him in substance
that l had ar,roved Mr.. Smiths cause
in declining 10 send funds TO the other
circuits and also that l had told Mr..
Smith at the time he wrote TO Mr. Por-
ter that Judge Humphreys order was
all right and cut no figure in the matter
and that the course proposed should be
taken as matter of correct practice
INDEPENDENTLY of that order. L also
wrote TO Judge Little TO that effect and
Judge Humphreys said he had read my
letter to Judge Little and thanked me
for putting the matter as | had in that
letter To my surprise. though entirely
in line with his past, Judge Humphreys
came out in this mornings paper ana
l understand intends further TO come
out in the papers with an effuSlon OF
self-virtue and mud-slinging ar others
He is seiZing the occasion OF certain
correspondence between the clerks OF
two courts with which he has nothing
to do as an occasion for publishing a
lot of yellow matter of his own concoc-
ton TO the community. merely because
a small portion of that letter appeared
TO his mind TO reflect on him though no
one ever intended that il should rehect
on him. AS for my connection with ms
order I have never questioned its cor
rectness or propriety to anyone or PAID
any attention TO il and do not see that
il should give Judge Humphreys so
much trouble AS to my approving his
order now on second thought as he
insinuates he knew that / had approx
ed il in any conversation with Mr.. Smith
two weeks ago and in my letter 10
Judge Little which I wrote and Judge
Humphreys read before he made the
statement that I now approved on sec
ond thought or after he had heard from
Judge Little"
Refused to Talk.
Judge Humphreys was seen last
night. and when approached in regard
to Chief Justice Frear's self-written
interview published in last evenings
Star declined to be interviewed there
on. saying that it had been his policy
since taking the bench to place all Off
cial correspondence in the files of the
court. and that he had pursued the
same course in this instance in regard
to the letters to and from Judge Little
That his letters to Judge Little were
in reply to a letter-purely official
from Judge Little. and were in the
line of official duty as he saw it and
understood it: that he had no explain
alton. qualification or modification TO
make of any statement. matter or
thing contained in his letters to Judge
Little. that he desired no newspaper
and would not discuss the
matter.
