blow to the talent, for the horse was

Usage County Man Talked of For q. s.
Senator.

According to the Leavenworth Times,
State Senator H. B. Miller will shortly
be sprung as a candidate for United
States senator. The Times makes the
statement editorially, and says it is be-
cause of the failure of Congressman Cur
tbs to line up his old district, the Fourth,
for his senate candidacy. The Times
says:
When Curtis started out on his SEN
atorial campaign it was announced that
ne would have the Fourth congress
sional district. which he represented
three terms, solidly for him. So far six
Republican nominations for the legfsla
ture have been made in the district and
two are for Curtis and four against him.
In every place in the Fourth district
where there was a contest Curtis has
lost. He has the nominee in Morris
county, the home of Congressman Miller
and Lieutenant Governor Richter. Cur
tis has one of the nominees in Butler
county One nominee in Butler and two
In Lyons county and the one just nomi-
mated in Pottawatomie are against him
The former friends of Curtis in the
Fourth district consider that he has
already lost the contest for United
States senator, and there is a movement
ON foot to bring out State Senator
Miller of Usage county. The announce
ment of the candidacy of Senator Miller
VIII probably be made within few
days. Heretofore senator Miller has
been claimed az a thick and thin Cur
tbs man.

A considerable movement of gold in
the direction of Europe has again set
in, but financiers profess to feel no
uneasiness on account thereof. Henry
Clews, discussing the situation in the
Financial Review. says: with the
three great banks of Europe holding
over s4o0o0,000 more gold than a year
ago, with Transvaal supplies steadily
increasing and with no special specu-
lative activity In sight, there is little
reason to expect gold shipments SO
long as money continues in good de-
mand here at profitable rates. Large
sums Of foreign capital are loaned in
this market and repayment later on
may compel gold exports. but these are
likely to be deferred until after the
harvest, and the outlook now is tina,
breadstuffs and cotton will go forward
freely enough to largely liquidate these
obligations and 50 lessen our payn ents
In gold Very shortly there will be q
better supply of future grain ana cot
ton bills. and this year the exchange
market will not be called upon to suffer
the $60,000,000 loss in corn exports which
had to be endured last year."

RATES TO WICHITA.
Santa Fe Takes a Hand in q Wire and

Chicago. July 31.-Notice was given
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
that it will meet the reduction made by
the ST. Louis & San Francisco road In
the rate on wire and nails in order TO
protect Chicago.
On July Ia the ST. Louis & San Fran
cisco announced that on August 1 1t
would put in effect rate on wire and
nails in carloads from Memphis, St,
Louis and East ST. Louis to Wichita
of so cents. The rate had previously
been so cents from Memphis and SIS
cents from ST. Louis.
This action disturbed the proper
differential as between Chicago and ST.
Louis, and is looked upon by the Santa
Fe as a direct blow against the Chicago
roads and manufacturers. For this
reason 1t has decided to put in effect at
once the same rates from Chicago az
are made by any other road via Mem
phiS or St. Louis.

Iowa has two members of the cabinet,

the Republican side in the senate and a
strong delegation in congress beside.
Therefore, when Iowa Republicans saw
that the tariff should be modified in any
way that NAV be found necessary so
that it will not afford shelter for the
trusts and monopolies, members of the
party throughout the country are likely
to pay attention.
