Illinois Senator ltr.nnt. McKinley's Meth
od. of Distributing fatronac#*
Washington, Aug. 5.—The first indi*
cations of a serious break in the Repub
lican party through dissatisfaction with
the methods employed by President
MoKinley in the distribution of federal
patronage became public by the giving
out of a letter written by Senator Shelby
M. Cullotn of Illinois to one of bis con
stituents. In the coarse of this letter,
to which the signature of Senator Col-
lom is affixed, is the following:
“The whole south end of Illinois has
not got a single appointment, and I have
been nuabie, although I have talked
with the president two or three times,,
to get him to make any. After the
batch was appointed at Chicago I tried
to get some appointments down in the
country, but np to thi9 time have not
secured a siug’e one.
"I am utteriy disgusted at the way
things have gone here in the matter of
consulships. I have never known any
thing like it and am nuabie to aocount
for it. Bat the troth is, as I believe,
the appointments that have been made
for Chicago were all promised by Hanna
and McKinley before the election and
probably before the conventions.
I have not been able in a single in
stance to get the president, in the selec
tion of consuls, to listen to what I had
to say and carry out my wishes. I have
labored with him, talked with him and
told him that the gang he was appoint
ing was not worth a snap, either for
politics or anything else, and yet it
seemed to make no impression on his
mind in his selections.”

COTTON CROP CORNERED?
St. looll Company Bolding eu to Over
Nine l'lioiwiid Hale*.
St. Louis. Aug. 5.—Cotton is said to
be cornered in this city and is likely to
remain so until September, when the
official year opens and the new crop be
gins to rnovo. The statements of the
local warehouses show that the total
number of bales in store aggregates
9,682 bales. Last year at this time there
were 25,236 bales. Of the 9 682 bales
now on hand over 9, W0 are he.d by the
Allen-West Commission company.
James II. Allen of the latter com
pany, when asked if there was a corner,
replied:
This is the end of the cotton season
of 1896 and 1897,” snid he, “and spot
cotton is mighty scarce at all the lead
ing points between New Orleans and
St. Louis. We have over 9,000-bales in
the warehouses and we are bolding on
to it, as nearly half of that cotton is two
years olcL It is well seasoned, as the
crop of two years ago was finer than
last year's growth.”
He would not admit the existence of
a corner.
LIGHTNING’S QUEER WORK.
Body of » Ban Who Had Bonn Killed by
a rIanh Disinterred.
Fort Ogden, Fla., Aug. 6.—Light
ning has been very fatal in this section
the past month, over eight people hav
ing been killed by it. Many strange
incidents are related, the most extraor
dinary being a story from across the
Kissimee river.
Henry Myers was killed by lightning
there last week while in a field and was
buried the next day. The second day a
thnnder storm arose and his grave was
struck, the lightning tearing open the
grave, throwiug the coffin ont aud
breaking it open.
It was fouud two days afterwards by
relatives a .1 the body reburied. The
body was not disfigured by the last elec
tric bolt, bnr. the coffin had been torn to
pieces, the body being left on top of the
upturned e:. th with the splintered cof

Pittsburg, Aug. B. — Consternation
was caused in the miners’ camp by a
terrific wind and electrical storm, which
passed over the Turtle Creek valley, do
ing a great deal of damage. At Sandy
Greek a tree in the yard of the school
house was uprooted, falling dn a oamp
in which were some miners watching
the DeArmitt mines. Two of the miners
were shooked into insensibility and theii
condition is still critical. Six others
were also shocked and badly frightened,
but soon recovered. The occurrence
caused the wildest excitement among
the striking miners. The storm cams
upon them withoht wajning and there
was a wild soorry for shBUer, of whioh
there was none at all except that af
forded by one small tent and 8ome"fteea
The strikers are preparing to march
on the mines operated in Westmoreland
county in central Pennsylvania. An
advance guard will probably start tot
Irwin, where a camp will be established.
Other bodies will follow Friday and
Staurday, the advance guard simply be
ing a silent notification that the men
are coming.
By tiie first of next week, when the
strike leaders say they expeot to have
all the New York and Cleveland com
pany’s mines oloeed tight, the strikers
at Turtle Greek, Plop Greek a^d Sandy
San Francisco, Aug. b. —The
that Hawaii had virtually excluded tha
the Chinese is confirmed by Honolulu
advices brought by the Australian.
When the annexation proposition was
made to the United States one of the
principal clauses was that Chinese im
migration should cease. As a start in
this direction the Hawaiian government
has decided to issne no more six months
residence permits to Chinese, or to exe
cute any bonds for contract laborers to
arrive. The planters do not fear the
labor problem. In fact, they are al
ready solving it, and that to the detri
ment of the Japanese.
Recently there have been- developed
plans for colonizing the American plan
tation negro in Hawaii to gradually re
place the coolies in the cane and rice
fields and on the coffee and cotton plan
tations.
The German ship H F. Glade arrived
in Honolulu on July 26 with nearly 200
contract laborers. They will replace
the Japanese on the sugar plantations.
The crowd consisted of 115 laborers
with some women and children. These
laborers yrill be placed on nine different
plantations, the contracts showing that
the men are to be paid $16 a mouth the
first year, $17 the second and $18 the
third, in addition to the regular food
and lodgiug given by the plantations.
CANADA IS REACHING OUT.
Creek will move on ‘to the Westmore
land field and looate camps at the diff
erent mines there. All of the West
moreland county mines are running
and it is to stop the putting of ooal ipto
the Pittsburg markets from these mines
that the move is contemplated. The
managers of the Westmoreland Ooal
company state they will hot enjoin the
strikers, but they are ready for them.
They will be treated <as trespassers. The
men at work for the Pennsylvania Gas
Ooal company are in the same position
and the company will nse the same
tactics.
There is an agreement beween DeAr
mitt and the Westmoreland Coal com
pany and the former ships west only,
and tho latter east. If the strikers
are successful in oansing a suspension
of work at the Westmoreland mines the
march to the central Pennsylvania fields
will be taken up. The miners in this
district are in sympathy with the move
ment and at a.convention of Clearfield
and Jefferson county miners the strike
leaders were requested to give some at
tention to central Pennsylvania with a
view to holding a general convention to
all miners shipping ooal to the eastern
seaboard.

Philadelphia. Ang. 5.—At a meeting
of prominent Grand Army men here, at
which Mayor Warwick presided, it was
nnanimonsly decided to extend an invi

glorious welcome here, aud .he would
do his utmost to see they got here.
Blow to Co-Op# ration Companies.
Indianapolis, Ang. 5.—The determ
ination of the leading life insurance
companies to carry no risks on Klondike
explorers has fallen with a dampening
effect upon the co-operation companies
which have been formed in this oity,
one of the companies sending ten rep
resentatives, each insured for $10,000,
giving each man $1,000, besides money
for contingent expenses, all of the men
to co-operate iu the search for gold, di
viding equally with the company, and,
in case of death, the insurance money
to be paid to the company. On each
death the company stood to win $8,500,
on the basis that not more than $1,500
would be spent on each representative.

Washington, Ang. 5.—Consul Parker,

Official# Manifest a D#*lr# to Expedite
the Negotiation#.
Constantinople, Ang. 5.—The Turk
ish government officials are now mani
festing a desire to expedite the settle
ment of the peace negotiations owing to
the straitened state of the exchequer,
rendering it impossible, nnder the pres
ent circumstances, to contract a new
loan because of the unhealthy condition
of the troops in Thessaly, where many
of the soldiers are dying; and for politi
cal reasons, the attitude of Bulgaria,
Servia and Montenegro being regarded
as threatening.
The Turkish minister for foreign af
fairs, Tewfik Pasha, replying to inquir
ies made by the ambassadors of the
powers, has expressed ignorance of the
destination of the Turkish fleet, which
left the Dardanelles on Tuesday last. It
appears, however, that 'the warships
are not going to Cretan waters, which
is probably a wise decision upon the
part of the Turkish authorities, as it
has been stated that the admiral* in
command of the fleets of other powers
have decided to oppose by force, if nec
essary, the entry of the Torkish squad
ron into Cretan waters, for which pre
cautions have already been taken

San Francisco, Aug. 5.—The Pacific

flying the Hawaiian flag. It was de
cided Wednesday by the officers of the
company to place the big vessel, whioh
is the crack ship of the Pacific Mail fleet,
nnder the Hawaiian flag without loss of
time, and it is said in maritime circles
that this action on the part of the com
pany indicates a belief among the offi
cers of the company that annexation of
the islands is likely to be accomplished
in the very near future.

City of Mexico, Aug. 5.—The Ca

who has left for the United States, be
ing on his way to Central America via
New York, has been cordially received
here, and he has undoubtedly had in
his favor the hostile nature of the new
American tariff, which has so severely
attacked various lines of export trade.
The Canadian government desires to
secure a trade here aud in Central
America, and doubtless Mr. Sheppard’s
mission will lead to some resalts, al

the Canadian government is prepared

to the competition of American manu

Houston, Aug. 5. — Hon. John h
Reagan, who some years ago resigned
his seat in the United States senate to
become one of the railroad commission,
ers of Texas, has announced his oaudi-
daoy for the seat in the senato occupied
by Roger Q. Mills, whoso term expi rej
in 1898. Judge Reagan recently de.
oided not to enter tho race for governor
on the ground that tho financial ex!
penso would be too great.
He states that he resigned his p os i.
tion as senator to accept tho chairman-
ship of the commission because it was
thought such a course would tend to
the s access of the commission, and that
it having now been in successful opera,
tion five years and having got over tile
hardest part of its work, he thinks it
might safely be managed without his
aid. %
Governor Culberson and Seuator
Mills are also in the contest, and Con
gressman Bailey is a dark horse who is
likely to be announced at any time, so
the contest will be a very warm one
and has, in fact, already begun.
This anuonucemeut of Judge Reagan
is a political surprise, as it has not even
been hinted that he was ambitious to
return to the seat in the senate which
he voluntarily resigned.
