HON. RICHARD P. BLAND.
Distinguished Statesman and Congressman from Mis¬
souri, Who Died Thursday.
For more than two months he had
been co nfiucd to bis home and his
health gradually declined. He thought
he would not survive the attack from
the first c „i and showed 1___i, his thorough .
knowledge of his condition.
On the third of this month Mr.
Bland suddenly grew worse, his sons,
who were in school, were summoned
home and for the first time the public
was informed of his critical condition.
From time to time since the jmtient
showed signs of improvement, but he
continued to grow weaker. Sunday
and Monday last he presented an im-
proved condition and Monday after-
noon strong hopes for his recovery
were entertained.
At about 10 o clock Tuesday night,
however, ho fell asleep and continued
in that condition until death.
The strain on Mrs. Bland’s nervous
system has been very great and her
friends are alarmed at its effect. Mr.
Bland left no life insurance and died
a comparatively poor man.
Mrs. Bland has receivod several
dozen messages of condolence from
admirers of her husband all over the
country.
Private Secretary Bell has notified
the clerk of the house of representa¬
tives of Mr. Bland’s death, requesting
him to appoint a committee of mem¬
bers to attend tbe funeral. Promi¬
nent friends of Mr. Bland throughout
tbe country have been notified of the
funeral arrangements.

Pursuing a policy determined upon
feome months ago; Gcik-riti Otis is
organizing three teglmbnts in the
Philippines composed of officers aud
ttieii of the state volunteers who de¬
sire to remain in the service. The
army bill authorised this kind of en¬
listment in the Philippines. If the
full complement cannot be made up
from those discharged volunteers in
tho Philippines, the regiments will be
organized and officered in skeleton
form until recruits can be sent from
tbo United States to fill them.
Geiieral Otis atid volunteer officers
in the Philippines have been consult¬
ing to see how many men will enlist.
The number has not been very large,
as there seems to be a desire of the
volunteers to return to the United
States with their organizations.
These three proposed regiments of
regulars will sail from San Francisco
ou the 22d and 24th. and those under

STATE SENATOR ARRESTER.
W. T. Cocke, of Aftlieville, N. C., Charged
With Embezzlement.
A decided sensation was created at
Charlotte, N. C., Thursday morning
by tbe announcement that the grand
jury off the federal court had found a
true bill against William J. Cocke, of
Asheville, for embezzlement, abstrac¬
tion and misappropriation of the funds
of the National Bank of Asheville.
Coclco was nt one time cashier of
this bank and it is alleged that these
irregularities occurred during this
period.
There are ninety-t-wo counts in the
indictment and the bill is the largest
ever drawn in the state, covering
twenty-five pages.
Cocke was arrested in Asheville
while in bed Thursday morning. He
gave bond in tbe sum of $15,000.
Cocke is one of tho most prominent
young politicians in w'estern North
Carolina. He is state senator from
Buncombe county, and was the young-
est state senator iu tbe last legislature.
He was mayor of Asheville at the age
of 21.
His wife died under nnnsnal cir¬
cumstances some time ago aud there
were rumors of foul play, but Cocke was
acquitted of all blame regarding his
wife’s death. There was $30,000 in¬
surance on her life. All these things
are being revived now that Cocke has
been placed under indictment.
DEWEY LEAVES SINGAPORE.

light Thuvsday morning.

CHARGES AGAINST EVANS.
Ex-Governor of South Carolina Accused
of Illegally Working Convicts.
A Columbia, S. C., special says:
The committee appointed by the
latnre to investigate the conduct of
the penitentiary by Colonel Neal,
while superintendent, and general
irregularities, resumed its work Tues-
day,
So far the chief interest lies in the
letters of explanation from Senator
Tillman, and the absence of any letter
from ex-Govemor Evans,against whom
there is charged $175 for groceries on
the penitentiary books, besides other
matters, such as working a farm with
convicts.

The two principal speakers of tho

ard, ex-chairman of the democratic
state committee of Alabama, Kentucky. and Con-
gressmfln CnrrUth, of Both

tire states as orators; will talk about
the eVil.s of trusts.
W. 3. Bryan has been invited to at-
tend the celebration and make a
speech. He is not expected to come,
Neither is ex-President Cleveland nor
David B. Hill, both of whom have
been asked.
Admiral Schley says he will come if
he can, but he will not make a speech,
Arthur P. Gorman and Edward Mur-

regarding trusts: ;
“This great fact bus been universal-
ly recognized, that in,every free conn-
try combinations have been the dis-
tinctive feature of modern industrial
life, and they have been a result in no
country but n free country. The toil-
has dency has beeii irresistible because it
been the logical sequence and out-
growth of individualism and invention,
For example, within a few veers after
the invention of the telegraph there
were 100 companies, and a dispatch
from the seaboard to the Mississippi
had to pay tribute to a dozen different
corporations. A law to prevent their
combination would not only have done
violence to the principles of individual
liberty, but would also baVG continued
Lo levy and unwarranted tax upon the
community.”
SAVERS GETS ENCOCRAGEMKNT.
A dispatch from Austin, Texas, says:
Governor Sayers is much encournged
with the prospects of a large attend-
ance of governors and attorneys gen-
eral at the anti-trust conference to be
held in St. Louis September 20th. Up
to this time seventeen governors have
responded to his invitation to attend
the proposed conference. Of that
number thirteen are outspoken in
favor of tbe anti-trust legislation,
Goveriior Sayers received a letter Sat-
nrday from Governor Robert B. Smith,
of Montana, as follows:
"I heartily indorse your action in
calling a meeting of the governors and
attorneys general of the several states
and territories for the purpose of dis-
cussing the subject of trusts and of
state legislation that will tend to do
away with the evil. God being willing,
1 wili 5)6 with you at the meeting in
September, and I will try to persuade
our attorneys general to attend.”
The replies so far received by Gov¬
ernor Sayers are about evenly divided
between democratic and republican
governors.

A special from Havana says: A
marine who was on duty at the Ma-

in a small barracks on the wharf,
where they breathe the foul air of the

NEWS NOTES FROM HAVANA.
A New List of Alembers of the

A special from Havana states that
General Maximo Gomez has instructed
General ltafnel Rodriguez, his chief of
staff, to open an office at Quinta de los
j ’ of Montionos the lists and of to begin the Cuban the preparation The
new army.
"°rk was begun Monday when General
Rodriguez mailed personal notices and
published in all the newspapers of the
land instructions to division, corps,
brigade, regimental and company eom-
matiders to send so soon ns of possible
complete data—the names all the
men of their commands with the dates
enlistment and periods of service.
The preparation of the lists will be
pushed forward with all speed on
account of the pitiable condition of
the soldiery virtually mobilized miles
from home at tho pay stations.
General George M. Randall has re-
turned from paying the Cuban sol-
; diers. He says he paid almost 2,800
men. 1 he majonty delivered up their
arms, which were turned over to the
civil authorities. A few men were ar-
tested for issuing bogus certificates of
discharge and were turned over to the
alcaldes, lhegeueral expects to be

The Cuban soldiers at Remedios are

James Barrett, vice president of the
-09u gia Stetrf 4gricu!<^ral Society,
was the only witness befforo the indus-
trial commission at Washington, Mon-
day. Ho spoke on the agricultural
conditions of the south, saying that
. (hey were worse today than they had
ever b , ® en lr l history of . the .. coun¬
try. Ho said the cotton interest was

j ln S to more than $3 a month. 1 ianters
generally pay about $6 for wages, and
tn .®h rates they could not prevent
Ioss lf the / received less than 6 cents
per pound.
Mr. Barrett said that nine-tenths ... of ,
! , be c °Bon groivii was mortgaged before
matured. Rates of interest and
commission were high, and the mer¬
chants were gradually coming into
possession of the laud. The banks
charge 10 per cent for nioney for three
mouths’ time. He advanced the idei
that the national bank has done vast
damage in outlawing real estate as
security for money loaned to these
banks and that all told this act was to
the south the most damaging legisla-
tion that had ever been enacted,
The witness said tliftt nearly all tbe
plantation labor was practically doue by negroes
and Hint there was no im-
migration because of the cheapness of
labor and the social conditions. The
railroad rates were such as to render
It impossible to longer make wator-
melon growing profitable and the same
was true of other garden products,
“The railroads are both the daddy
and the mammy of the trusts, he as-
serted.
Mr. Barrett said the census of 1890
had ehowtt that Augusta, where lie
lives, was the most illiterate place in
the United States and he thought the
fact was due to the presence of too
much politics in tho schools,
ALL WILL GET MEDALS.
Officer* ami Men of the McCulloch Not
Ignored.
It is stated at the navy department
that every man attached to the Olym¬
pia, Boston, Baltimore, Concord, Ra¬
leigh, Petrel and McCulloch during
the battle of Manila harbor, regardless
of rank or station, will receive a medal
of honor.
The McCulloch, which was a revenue
cutter at the outbreak of the war, was
transferred to the naval service and
added to Admiral Dewey’s fleet. She
rendered efficient support in the bril-
liant engagement which culminated in
the annihilation of the Spanish fleet
and also carried the first official news
of Admiral Dewey’s victory to Hong
Kong. In view of these facts it was
deemed proper that tho officers and
men of the McCulloch should share
equally with the others in the distri-
butiou of the congressional medals.
