INTERVIEW WITH THE GOVERNOR.

The New-York Herald" yesterday printed an
extended interview with Governor Odell dealing
with political situation in this city. The inter
view caused widespread interest, as it was con
strued by some attack on Senator Platt ana
others allied with him in the Republican organza-
ton for their attitude toward an arti-Tammany
alliance Among other things the Governor was
quoted as saying:
ting to take up the controversy to the right or
the wrong method of bringing about reform in
New-York"
But Governor Senator Platt has said that he
thinks all the doings of District Attorney Phbin
and Justice Jerome in exposing police corruption
fake '"

But Governor Senator P1att says, also. that

The feeling in NeV-York. Governor. is that your

Can there he any doubt Of my atttude?' the
Governor replied more warmly. II and have

point I wish the overthrow ~ Tammany
but there is stronger reason than party feaIty.
Every good citizen is interested IN destroying

IF you know whose wishes the proposer OF the

NOTED BANDITS PARoLED.
Younger Brothers to Be Released From
Minnesota Prison.

st. Paul, May AT regular meet
Ing of the board managers of the state
prison today at Saltwater, unanimous
action was taken in favor Of paroling
the Younger boys, now serving life sem
fences. Before the parole can be eff
fective all three members of the state
pardon board must approve it, and the
action will be submitted to that body
as soon as possible.
Cole. James and Bob Younger were
imprisoned for life for their raid on
the bank of Northfield in September,
1876. The James brothers, Jesse and
Frank, escaped to Missouri. Two
members of the gang were killed and
Bob Younger died in prison.
For six years attempts have been
made during every session Of the legis-
lature to secure the enactment OF a
law permitting the parole of life pris-
oners. At one session the bill was in
troduced, but was allowed to die. Two
years ago it was passed by the senate.
This winter it passed both houses and
went to the governor. Before it was
signed it was recalled, reconsidered
and killed. The following day it was
reconsidered, passed and became
law.
The bill was passed with especial
reference to the Younger brothers, as
there is but one other 'lifer" who
comes within the requirements Of a
twenty-five year Imprisonment before
action can be taken.
There were six Younger brothers,
one of whom died in childhood. They
| were the sons of Colonel Henry w.
Younger, a wealthy southerner, who
moved to Cass county, Missouri, in
1880. When the war broke out the
| Younger property was raided first by
one side and then the other. The
boys, in revenge for the injuries in
f1icted upon their father, became guer-
rillas and created SO many political
enemies that pardon was denied them
| at the close of the war. They then
joined with the James brothers and
began long series of bank and train
robberies. The most famous detec-
tives were sent to hunt them and
were. in turn, hunted themselves. In
one of these fights John Younger was
killed, but after he had fallen from
his saddle, he rallied and killed the
detective who had shot him.
| At the time of the Northfield rob-
berry the Youngers might have escap-
ed had they not stopped to assist a
wounded companion. The James
boys wanted to kill the wounded man,
but the Youngers would not listen to
the proposition. The James boys
then pushed on and escaped, while
the Youngers, in trying to get the
wounded man away, were surround
ed and captured. Their prison record
lis excellent. 1t has never been es-
tablished that they were responsible
for the death of the Mortified bank
cashier or any other person killed
during that raid.

THE CLASS OF 1901.
Fifty-One Students VIII Graduate
From High School.

From High School.
On the evening of June 6, at the
Grand opera house, the commence
ment exercises of the class of 1901. OF
tumwa high school, will be held. This
is to be, as usual, the principal event
of the closing week of school, which is
always marked with events of impor-
lance. On Wednesday evening, at the
high school building, the class day ex-
ercises, which bring out the funny side
of school life are to be held Then
the students will settle down to the
more sober commencement for Thurs
day evening, but on Friday evening,
when the alumni reception is to be
held, every one will have good time,
except the members of the three lower
classes. who are made to feel their
lowly position more keenly on this oc-
casion than on any other.
Each succeeding year the number of
members Of the graduating class eX-
ceeds that of the preceding year. This
years class numbers fifty-one people.
The class is to be congratulated upon
the number of boys, which presents a
greater per cent than any class for
some time. This is one of the most
encouraging facts brought out, for it
marks the changing of the minds OF
the boys from a leaning toward pre-.
mature quitting Of school to desire
for education
The winners of first and second hon.
ors In the graduating class will not be
announced until the invitations for the
commencement exercises are sent out
AS has been the custom in the last few
years, there will be no graduating ad.

From Saturdays Daily.l
About an average run of hogs is be-
ing received daily by John Morrell &
Co. in this city. The receipts this
week show a slight decrease over
those of the week previous, but this
is accounted for by the fact that the
farmers are we'll advanced with their
farm work and will not stop long
enough to market their hogs. There
is good supply of hogs in the coun-
try, and the price holds up very well,
and it is thought that the movement
will commence again as soon as the
planting season is over. Eleven thou
sand and two hundred were packed
here this week against 1900 the

No Rain In l1ansas.

KANSAS CITY, July 13.-No rain fell yesterday in any part of the drought stricken district, including all of Kansas, western Missouri, Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Over much of this region it was the worst day of the long hot spell, the temperature being more than 100 de grees and no breeze stirring. Corn, oats, hay and potatoes are so badly injured that even with rain the yield will be short, and as the weather bureau gives no hope of relief the outlook is discour- aging. At some places in Kansas there has been no rainfall whatever for nearly three months. The present is the worst drought since 1860, when New England sent food to Kansas. However, Kansas farmers are harvesting one of the largest crops of wheat, if not the largest, in the history of the state. A great many coun- ties send word that with rain corn will Se half cron- vi. ssern no yield

FUNsToN's REPORT.
The General Tells How He Caught
 Aguinaldo.

u1ul1OO.
 WASHINGTON, July 13-The wal department has just made public Briga- dier General Funstons report of the cap ture of Aguinaldo This report presents in detail all the facts relating to the cap ture of Aguinaldo which were made public at that time. General Funston shows that his entire plan of the expedl- ton was submitted to the commanding general of the department of northern Luzon and then was sent to General Mac Arthur, by whom it was approved. Gen eral Funston goes into details concerning the captured correspondence from Agui- naldo and the use he made of Cecilio Sa- gismundo, who had presented himself to Lieutenant J. D. Taylor of the Twenty fourth infantry with letters of Aguinaldo that he was to deliver to various insur- gent chiefs. General Funston gives the following account of the forged letters which were used to deceive Aguinaldo:
 "On Oct. 24, 1900, while scouting in the vicinity of Gapan, Nueva Ecija, had surprised the insurgent chief Lacuna ln his camp and had captured, among other things, some writing paper which already bore his headquarters seal. On this paper two letters were written to Aguinaldo over the carefully forged signature of Lacuna.
 "One of these letters was dated Feb. 24, 1901, at Bulac, place in the noun tains east of Panaranda. In it Lacuna acknowledged the receipt of Aguinaldo' letters of Jan. 13 and 14 and thanked him for the confirmation of his Gacuna's) ap- pointment as brigadier general made some time previously by Alejandrino.
 ''It will be remembered that the letters of Aguinaldo referred to had fallen into our hands, Our letter indulged in the usual rhetoric employed by the insur- gent chiefs in their correspondence and gave glowing account of the progress of the campaign from the standpoint of La cuna. "
 Another letter. supposedly from the same place, but dated Feb. 2S, was pre- pared, stating that the writer had just received a communication from Baldo- nero Aguinaldo ordering him to send one of his best companies under a reliable chief to Emilio Aguinaldo in Isabela.
 'In accordance with these orders he was sending this force under Lieutenant Colonel Hilario Placido. The latter, he stated, had been captured by the Ameri- cans a year ago and aftershis release had lived in Jaen, but recently had taken to the field again when ordered io do so by I4acuna. This was included in the letter for fear that Aguinaldo might have heard that Placido had been captured by the Americans and had taken the oath of allegiance. The letter also stated that Aguinaldo's courier, Cecilio Sigismundo, was with Lacuna and would accompany the column. These two letters were die tated by me, but were written by Sego- via. We were in possession of a number of samples of Laeuna's signature and had previously succeeded in executing a very neat forgery of his autograph at the end of each one of the two sheets."
 General Funston then relates the incl dents of the actual capture, with which the public is already familiar.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
All Leading Industries We'll Em-
 pIoyed-A Large Wheat Crop.

All Leading Industries We'll Elm
 pIoyed-A Large Wheat Crop.
 NEW YORK, July 13.-R G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 General business continues its even course, with all the leading industries well employed and with confidence ex- pressed on every hand. Bountiful crops of wheat are assured, and the damage to corn while considerable in some di- rections, does not promise to be sufh- ciently general or serious to at all inn pede the progress of the country.
 Steel mills sare actively employed, and there is a distinct improvement in the demand for finished products, while quo fations are without alteration. In bars for use by makers of agricultural imple- ments there is a brisk movement, plates are taken readily, and there is no sign of diminished purchasing in structural material. Rails are ordered freely, with notable pressure for trolley and other light weights Billets are more quiet, and few new transactions are recorded in pig iron.
 Improvement is general in the footwear industry, although no higher prices can be obtained. Local factories that have been closed have resumed, and shops that were running part time are now
 
 have fall contracts assuring activity un- til the middle of September.
 Textile lines have settled iu a steady position that promises more lasting pros perity than if prices had been forced higher or sensational activity had follow ed the altered attitude of buyers.
 Grain crops this season are occasion ing much uneasiness among spectators owing to the extremely complicated sit uation. According to latest official and unofficial prognostications, there is req son to anticipate the heaviest wheat yield ever harvested, and, making the customary allowance for domestic con- sumption, even with the small supplies on hand when the year opened, there ap- pears available for export about 50 per cent more than went abroad in the year of greatest shipments. Yet prices are far above the low record, and vigorous ral- lies follow each decline. Extensive needs abroad continue, the movement from At lantic ports for the week amounting to 3,20S,634 bushels against 2,19S,443 a year ago, and western receipts were 4,579,37S bushels against 2,61S,677 last year. Corn exhbitetd remarkable strength, drought and heat since July 1 giving reason to expect less than the official re- port, which indicated more than 2,000- 100000 bushels.
 Failures for the week numbered POS in the United States against 196 last year and 27 in Canada against 24 last year.
