THE papers that persist in misrep-
resentating Senator McLaurin are now
busily engaged in distorting what he
said with reference to Mr.. Bryan and
his attitude toward Crisp for speaker
of the house in 1894. Some Of these
papers state that Mr.. McLaurin said
Mr.. Bryan did not vote for Crisp, and
then proceed to show the statement to
be untrue. What Mr.. McLaurin did
say at Newberry was as follows:
The local papers in the election Of
1894 did not give the details; but 1T Is
we'll known that Mr.. Bryan was against
Crisp of Georgia, for speaker Of the
house Of representatives because he
had been a Confederate soldier, and he
said that no ex-Confederate could be
entrusted with the speakership. Hon.
Urey WoodSon, of Kentucky, mention
ed this matter at the Kansas City con-
vention, and there was considerable
comment upon it among the delegates
opposed to the reiteration of the 16 to l
plank. I will read an extract
from an interview in the N. Y. Herald.
of May, 1900, with Henry Watterson, In
which he says that Bryan claimed
that when he voted IN the Democratic
caucus against Crisp for speaker, he
knew Crisp was a clean and capable
man. but that he had been a Confed-
crate soldier, and Bryan thought that
a vote for him was to risk his own re-
election to congress-"
The whole point here is that if Mr.
Bryan had so little confidence in an ex-
Confederate soldier, he was not and is
not a fit man to represent the Democ-
racy of the South. The papers that
claim that Mr.. Bryan voted for Crisp
are correct, and Mr.. McLaurin has
never intimated anything to the con-
trary. We have also seen no effort
either to deny the fact that Mr.. Bryan
objected to Mr.. Crisp for the reasons
stated above.

is going to submit to any such arrange

AN exchange calls attention to the
fact that American occupation Of Cuba
has resulted in the stamping out Of yell
low fever; but also suggests that the
disease may be expected to return soon
after the patriots take charge. We look

lief that the return of yellow fever will
not be the worst thing that will fol-
low the evacuation of the island by the

missions have been made on the
stand by Samuel A. Gaylord, senior
member of the firm of Gaylord,

tcally insolvent for two years and
had been doing business on other
peoples money-on funds secured

no stock ever changed hands, being
u mere matter of bookkeeping, in
which the firm never forgot to charge

insane mans name in the accounts
At the time Of the failure they were

RAIN IN KANSAS.
Only Small Local showers Have Taken
Place and Little BENEFIT Has Been
Experienced by the Crops.

Topeka, Kan, July 17.--While rain
has fallen during the past "a hours
in various parts Of Kansas the
drought is not yet broken and little
benefit has been experienced by the
crops. The rains have been small 10.
cal affairs and their only effect has
been to cool the atmosphere and
freshen vegetation to u certain ex.
tent. Yesterday was moderately
cool day. The refreshing breeze from
the south made the weather more
bearable than during the past month.
Two places in the state report tenn
perature of 1O7, but the average has
been about 30.
Reports Of blighted crop prospects
continue to come in. A hopeful tone
pervades most of the reports, how
ever, and the determination is gen
orally expressed to make the best of
the situation. In the eastern divi-
sion of the state crops are suffering
more than in any other. The damage
done in the central part is less severe,
while in the western part the condi-
tions are the most favorable.
The corn crop is not the only thing
at stake. To obtain water for stock
and for fire protection is much
studied problem, and one that will
not be solved until the coming Of the
rain. Previous estimates of half a
crop of corn this year will still hold
good in case more rain comes within
the present week.
Judge Wellhouse, the apple king"
says that late apples have been hurt
q little, while peaches are damaged
more and small fruits failed almost
entirely. Apples and peaches are fall
ing from the trees on account Of lack
Of moisture, but otherwise are In fair
shape.

OIL STRUCK AT MERWIN.
Very Little Excitement Has Been Created
and the Price Of Real Estate
Has Not Changed

Mcrwin, Mo, July IA big flow
of oil was struck here at noon yes
terday. Several barrels of the lubri-
cant have been boiled out and oil is
running in streams from the well,
This is the third hole sunk and indi-
cations are that it will produce Ii
barrels per day. The strike was
made at a depth Of about 200 feet. L.

Injured by a falling timber from the
derrick and operations were suspend
ed yesterday afternoon, so it is not
vet known how thick the oil rock is.
Very little excitement has been ere
ated and prices of land will probably
rcmain the same unless a gusher is
struck. The severe drought has al
ready had its effect on the situation,
us no one seems inclined to invest in
real estate on the strength of the
rich strike.

sion on a bridge crossing the Arkan-

stating that five men were killed and

that an engine and seven cars were
derailed, one span of the bridge dam
aged and that Engineer Morris and
an unknown colcred man were
slightly injured.

AGAINST plcKErlNc.
Judgs CLARK, Of the United States Court
Talks Ptsinly 10 the Counsel Of the
Striking Mschinists.

Cincinnati, July 17.-Judge c. D.
Clark, Of the United States district
court, during the hearing Of the mo-
ton to dissolve the temporary in
junction issued against the striking
machinists indicated very plainly to
counsel for the defense what his opin-
ion would be on two points involved.
He said that for plcketing an in
junction would be granted, but that
acts Of violence and even boycotting
were not to be met by injunction.
Said he: II have arrived at the con-
clusion beyond all shadow of doubt
that picketing is unlawful; that it is
immoral and wrong. Counsel for the
defense must understand plainly that
! am opposed to picketing in any
form whatever and that | will
promptly make the power of this
court felt against it" He described
picketing as intercepting men while
going to or from the factory-any-
where, even miles away--by one man
or by more than one, and any inter-
ference with ingress and egress of
workmen. But violence, he added, is
not to be remeded by injunction in
this court. He announced that the
decision of the case would rest on
the point whether or not it had been
shown that there had been picket
ing. While his mind was made up
on the law as to picketing, he asked
counsel to cite authorities on that
point. The arguments were begun,
but as Judge Clark has case to
hear at Chattanooga to-day the case
will be taken up when he returns
on the Gath inst.
