WILL NOT AWAIT IT'S RELIEF.
Fort Myer Cavalrymen Will Leave Be
fore 9Th Arrives From Porto Rico.

Arrangements are being made to send the
squadron of the Sd Cavalry, now at Fort
Myer, Va, to San Francisco in order that
it may embark on the transport Meade
scheduled to sail from that port on the 1st
proxfmo. These troops had been selected
for service in the Philippines, but the crisis
which has arisen in China has made it
necessary to include them in the reinforce
ments being dispatched to that country. A
battalion of the 9TH Cavalry ordered home
from Porto Rico will take the place of the
81 Cavalry at Fort Myer. but. owing to the
urgent need of troops in the orient. it has
been decided to forward the movement of
the Sd Cavalry without awaiting the arrival
of the 9TH Cavalry. The troops of the 9th
Cavalry and 11th Infantry will be brought
from Porto Rico to New York on the trans

OUT IN NEBRASKA.
Mr. Guriey Hopeful of Smashing
RrNan in His Own Stnte.

Mr.. W. F. Gurley. prominent Nebraska
republican politician and who was chair
man of the Nebraska delegation in the
Philadelphia convention, was caller at
republican congressional committee head
quarters today
THE republicans have a good fighting
chance in Nebraska this year said Mr..
Gurley to Star reporter, ''and we propose
to improve it. The change of 5000 votes
would carry the state for the republican
ticket. and, / believe, that a change of
4Cs0 votes would win the electoral vote.
If We can get some good speakers and
make a fight for it, l feel hopeful of smash
ing Bryan in his own state.
The fusion which was effected between
the democrats and the populists yesterday
does not alter the conditions materially.
We have had to fight fusion before. and we
have seen it failing steadily year by year.
Both parties to the arrangement have been
getting diSgusted with it each year, and
the democratic-populist vote has steadily
fallen.
The failure of the democratic convention
to nominate Towne will hurt the ,-cket in
Nebraska and in other western states. The
silver men are very reSentful at the treat
ment they received and | think 1t is bound
to crop out on election day.
Il was interested in noting that con-
ference at Mr.. Bryan's home in Lincoln
this week There was Cyclone Davis of
Texas. Pettigrew OF South Dakota, popu-
list republican; Web Davis of Missouri,
a renegade repubncan, SharHe loWhe' d
former republican. Is there any one in
that combination to attract the old con-
servative democrats back to the party?
And Stevenson certainly can't carry Hi
nOis.
How about Webster Davis? Well 1
don't believe he will make any converts.
He will undoubtedly arouse considerable
enthusiasm among those who are already
bound to their idols, but he will not in
crease the number. His conversion is
altogether too sudden, for We remember
him as being very close to the admintstra-
ton and virtually its representative in the
western country only short time ago.
Il think the republican prospects are
good all through the west. Times are
easy. there IS no dissatisfaction, and peo-
pie will be likely to be content and slow
spirit of doubt in the minds of the plain
people about the stability Of the demo-
cratic-populist crowd and a disincinatIon
to trust the country to them

SEVERE DROUGHT IN ARIZONA.
Range Cattle Suffering for Lack of
Water and Food

Los ANGELES, July 13.-Reports from
the drought-stricken sections of Arizona are
to the effect that every water hole and
most Of the wells have gone dry. In cOnse-
quence cattle are dying by the thousands
and their shrunken frames dot the desert
country of Pima, Pinal. Santa Cruz. Yuma,
Cochise and parts Of Maricopa counties.
The loss to owners of herds cannot be COM
puted. In their present gaunt condition no
market can be found for the cattle. Rarely
in the history of the territory has the water
in the ella and Salt rivers been SO scarce.
Not drop is reported in the Gila, and
there is none in the San Pedro from Ben
son to its confluence with the Salt river
above Phoenix.
At Casa Grande the immense reservoir is
dry. the supply having long since been ex-
hausted. Crops of alfalfa. barley and
wheat between Florence and Casa Grande.
as well as on the Indian reservation at
Sacton, where the Pimas dwell, are beyond
hope. Added to this is the destruction of
timber by the forest fires which rage in the
Santa Catalina mountains.

previous conditions. inasmuch as the de-

ital and surplus remain about the same.
Undivided profits have increased $13.s'I. u

REPRESENTATIVE JOYS VIEWS.
Sixteen to One Has Destroyed Demo-
Gratis Chance of Success.

Gratis Chance of success.
II think" said Representative Joy to a
Star reporter. that the democrats destroy
ed whatever right they may have had to
hope for success by putting 16 to l in their
platform. The public will believe that there
a practical reason for Mr.. Bryan's in
sisting upon 16 to /. 1t will be apt to
think that he was distated to by the silver
mine owners who viii contribute to his
campaign fund. With 16 to / in the platform
they cannot obscure it in the campaign"
What do You think about Webster Da
Wis action?" asked.
"Oh, 1t will not help the democrats much.
He is a good taiker. and in that much they
get something from him where he is not
well known. He will not help them in
Missouri and he represents no following
anywhere. 1 see Henry N. Johnson has
come out for Bryan. I do not see how he
could do otherwise after the position in op-
position othe administration he took in
Congress. He. Ike Davis, will probably
help the democrats more outside of his
state than in it. l do not think his posi-
ton will have much influence in Indiana.
New York ought to be the battlefield Of
this campaign Mr.. Joy added; but with
l6 to l in the democratic platform do not
think they can put up any sort of a fight
In that state"

SITUATION AS IN 1896.
Ex-Representatfve FOrman Says Gold
Democrats VIII Support Mckinley.


Ex-Representative Forman of Illinois, a
former democratic member of the House.
who is a representative gold democrat,
says that he thinks the gold democrats
generally are going to vote for Mckinley.
Il do not see,' he said, that the situa-
ton is materially changed for the gold
democrats since 90. The democratic con-
venton has declared again for the free
coinage of silver, 10 to 1, and left no op-
portunity for those who could not agree
with this declaration in SO to return to the
party. Some who are politicians and do
not like the idea of drifting about unat
tached to any regular organization may go
back to the Bryan party and stand their
chances; but | think the bulk of the gold
democrats will vote for Mckinley. Bryan
has no chance Of carrying Illinois. The re-
publicans will carry the state by a hun
dred thousand"
Mr.. Forman is a close personal friend of
w. X. Morrison. the author of the horizon
tai tariff bill. He says that Morrison is
going to vote for Bryan this time, and that
he may take the stump for the ticket.

GOV. STONES VIEWS.
Says This is Republican Year and
He Looks for Victory.


He Looks for Victory.
Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania is in the city
today and talked briefly, but to the point,
with Star reporter upon politics.
LAS a republican, said Gov. Stone Il
am more. than pleased with the Kansas
City platform and the ticket. 1t could not
have been better for US.
pennsylvania will do better next No
Vember than she did four years ago. We
will give Mckinley 100000 majority. The
placing of Stevenson on the tail of the
democratic ticket will not win any con-
servative democrats for the Bryan-populist-
free-silver ticket. 1t will not bring back
1896.
Another thing we will do in Pennsyl-
Vania this year will be to increase the re-
publican representation in Congress. We
lost several representatives at the last
congressional election, mainly on account
of local troubles. We will regain these
seats and make other gains.
However, this Is "a republican year. all
around and a republican country, a&d I
LOOK Tor a big victory throughout the
Union"

OUR FLOUR IN JAPAN.
Its Consumption becoming More Com

Vice Consul General Mclean has made a

confined to the large cities of Japan. but
Is becoming common throughout that coun-
try. He speaks Of three or four American
built flour mills. the largest having a ca
pacity of 40 barrels a day. that are now
helping 10 supply Japan with -four. There
are many small native mills of hand and
water power throughout the country, but
their product is of a coarse character and
they do not compete to any extent with
the imported stocks. American wheat is
also being imported into Japan. and the
considerable amount of flour made from it
is being sold there. The demand for iiCur
throughout the orient Is rapidly increasing,
the best points OF consumption at present
being Russian possessions in northern
China and eastern Siberia.
