KANSAS DEMOCRATS MEET.
Convention Fails to Make Nominations
Fear the Populists.

The Kansas democratic state convention
met in Wichita yesterday and had lively
session, the principal issues being the sub
mission of prohibitory law and the prob
lem Of cooperation with the populists in
some way to evade the anti-fusion law.
After a hard fight in the convention be-
tween an overwhelming majority and an
active and aggressive minority, a resolu-
tion was passed declaring for the resub-
vote Of the people.
A hard fight was made for an adjourn
ment of the convention until June "a to
allow the populists to cooperate in the
naming Of the candidates, but the. opposi-
tion to the adjournment won. The plat
form denounceS the trusts, reaffirmS the
Kansas City platform, without mentioning
silver: advocates the election of a board
Of railroad commissioners by the people;
declares for the ownership of public utili-
ties by the people, and indorses the policy
of democrats in Congress with reference to
their attitude on the Philippine question
The convention nominated United States
Senator Harris to succeed himself
AT a late hour the convention adjourned
without nominating a ticket. When nomi-
nations were called for to select a full
ticket independent of populist wishes Rep
reSentatiVe jackson swept the body off it's
feet by an eloquent appeal to the demo-
Gratis to offer some concession to the popu-
lists. and the plan now is to nominate half
ticket and tender the populists the other
half, provided they will accept the demo-
cratic names. for under the new law it is
impossible to have the same candidates
under two separate party emblems on an
official ballot.

Ice agents yesterday captured a band of
alleged counterfeiters having headquarters
in this city and a coinage plant in New

NEGRO BURNED AT STAKE.
Charged With Having Committed As
sault on Woman in Texas.

Dudley Morgan. colored man who as
sauited Mrs. Mckee. wife of a Texas and
Pacific foreman, at Lansing, Texas, was
burned at the stake near that place yester-
day afternoon.
Great throngs gathered at the Lansing
switch, and, looking over the ground. de-
cided to make arrangements to burn the
negro about quarter of a mile away on
the line Of the county road.
The place of execution decided upon was
an open plot, smooth and covered with
grass, being hedged in by high trees.
which formed an opening 200 yards wide
and 300 yards long. The trees were liter
ally lined with people an hour before the
negro arrived.
The prisoner was taken from the train
to the section house. which stands close TO
the track and positively identified by Mrs
Mckee and several negroes who worked on
the section with Morgan. The negro was
escorted by 200 men armed with Wiaches-
tiers to the place of execution. AS lie was
chained to the stake he said he desired to
make statement. The crowd sarged
aroDnd him, and those in charge tried in
vain to make them stand back and keep
quiet while the negro talked. The negro
made statement in which he implicated

Although this volcanic dust from St Vim
cent was coming from the west there was
fairly strong east wind blowing all the
time. interspersed with hot waves OF sui
phurous air
For several days past scientists had OBJ
served that the upper strata OF air was
from the west while the lower currents
were from the east The dust from the vol
cauo must have been hurled at least eight
miles upward and then been borne eastward,
against the prevailing direction OF the sur
face currents.
Another phenomenon was the sudden rise
OF the tide and the rumor that a tidal wave
might engulf us was not very assuring. 1t
was said that the water in the Constitution
river here at Bridgetown rose eighteen
inches in two minutes. nearly submergiug
the reclaimed land known Fort Royal.
TwentyTw Tons of Dust to the Acre
The volcanic dust rained continuously
here in Barbados from O'clock wednes-
day until Thursday morning at > o'clock.
The sky was dull and overcast when the
day broke, suggestive of an angry mood.
and it was midday before the sun shone
brightly. During the day there was an oc-
casional fall of the gray. powdery dust.
The night was dark and cloudy until mid
night, with lightning and thunder. when a
shower of rain fell. which was welcome.
that IL does not blow around much. So
minute are the particles that they pene-
trate through the finest chinks OF a closed
room. Scientific calculations compute the
fall at a of an inch on boards which were
left out in the open air. or a fall OF twenty
two tons to the acre Some state there was
fall of 100000 tons on the Island OF
Barbados, carried across the ocean ninety
miles.
1t is questionable whether or not the dust
possesses any value as a fertilizer. The
meteorological and chemical examination
yesterday at the government laboratory
states that it is composed Of volcanic min
erals and volcanic glass. the minerals pre-
dominating. These minerals consist chief
ly of silicates Of iron and magnesia. There
are also a considerable proportion Of quartz
and some potash felspar.
II appears that the crops harvested IN
this island in the year 1913 after the for
mer outburst, were unprecedented, and
this was attributed to the volcanic dust
which had been blown from Souffriere
mountain the year before.
For two days now laborerS have been at
work I'm the streets and on housetops shov-
cling and sweeping up the dust and carting
II away. 1t reminds one of a snow scene
In the northern cities The air Is still full
of the dust. 1t is everywhere about us.
The eyes smart, and at times breathing is
difficult.
Help is sadly needed for the few sur
vivors at Martinique and the thousands II
suffering ones at st. Vincent. The Roysl
Mail steamer Solent leaves at O. o'clock
with provisions and ice, also doctors and
nurses, to give what assistance Is possible
to Fort de France. Our fears are that
there will be sadder tales yet TO tell Many
days will pass before we get fun news re-
garding the terrible destruction of Mar

makes possible the production of a horse

namely, that when the cellulose mass was
pressed through an opening, SO as to form
a hair. the hair was very weak, when dry,
and so brittle that it broke If it was at
tempted to tie a knot in it. The difficulty
was overcome by spinning the hair from
two or more openings of suitable size at the

Political Intolerance.

The fusion nominee for Judge in the
22nd district has been ruled off the Off
cial ballot by the republican attorney
general, secretary of state and state
auditor. This is w. ]. Stuart's dis
trict. Stuart is the man who persecut-
ed Pool Grinstead so shamefully be-
cause he had the courage TO fight Lee
landism. and he is very unpopular. If
the fusion candidate, a. r. May, had
been permitted to remain on the ticket
Stuart would probably have been de.
feated Notwithstanding the immense
republican majority. The ground as
signed for denying May a place on the
ballot was that only three men attend
ed the convention which nominated
him. Mr.. May was given no opportun-
ity to defend himself and his side of 1t
has not been made public. but even if
that contention be correct, in common
Justice he ought not to be denied the
right to be candidate. Don't you
think party IS getting rotten when 1t
will resort to these tricks? Does such
a party deserve the support of good
citizens?
