IV GOVERNOR WAITE has addressed a letter to Colorado's representatives in Congress on the proposed attempt to secure the abrogation or modification of the regulations now in force by which cattle imported into Great Britain from the United States are required t> be slaughtered at the port of entry. He says it will probabl, not be possible to abrogate the rule in regard to the slaughter of American cattle as applied to the United States and Canada, because pleuropneumonia actually prevails in Canada and in places in tne Eastern and Stiiithorn States. The disease is unknown, however, in _ the Rocky Mountain States, and this is a good ,re*sou why the rule shouli be modified Btreatdiig Rocky Mountain cattle. ̂ Bit i£t»*jPhAT,t Oista.

' '>• Y-< TBIUIR ' ONE of the most destructive cyclones ever known in the Chickasaw nation has passed over that country. No less than twenty house3 were blown down. Fences were laid low for miles around and stock suffered greatly. THE Rev. Mr. N^wbv, pastor of the Secord Baptist Church at Cedarville, Ohio, is carrying a revolver to protect himself, having been granted permis­ sion to do so by the Mayor. A schism in his church has become a feud, and a half dozen fist fights betareen members have occurred recently THE State National Bank at Wichita, Kan., has suspended. The institution was considered one of the strongest in the West. The bank officers have not yet made any statement of it 5 condi­ tion.

THOMPSON, of the failed First National Bank, of Sedalia, Mo., has not yet been found. He left Friday for Washington, but a telegram from Congressman John T. Heard says that he ha-s not arrived there.' '^It^is definitely known that warrants for Thompson's arrest, are in the hands of the Federal officers charging the miss­ ing cashier witl* .embezzlement, falsfe bookkeeping!and .fake reports to the Comptroller. Bank Examiner Lati­ mer and United. States Attorney J. R. Walker refuse to say a word, but the belief now is that tse bank has been systematically and completely looted. President Cyrus Newkirk, who has been ill some*time, has been placed .at death's door by the shock of the devel­ opments, and Cashier Thompson's wite is also in a serious condition. ' AN industrial organizer wljo- was ih " Fergus Falls, Minn., with a wing of the "army" in an interview said that $5,000 was raised in Butte to help take the army which he was organizing from the West to the East. Me says that other cities on the toast are raising large sums to send unemployed workmen East. It is a cheap and popular way to return to the East a large army* of men which traveled West during the!i>oom days on the coast and which are no v. a drug in. Western cities. Whil& Ythe or­ ganizer was at Fergus Fallssa wealthy man gave him a list of 104 undesira­ ble citizens and offered him $10 &. ^ead for as many of them as he would tiake East, the" money payable when he reached Pjttiburg, so that the men will not drift back at once. The West, it is asserted, has been getting the deadbeats and undesirable citizens of the East and is now shipping them back by the freight train load. THE secret of the many sporadic out­ breaks in towns far from Chicago, the stronghold of small-pox, is out at last. The disease is transmitted by the product of the sweat-shops. Repre­ sentatives of the State Boards of Health of Illinois. Michigan, Ohio, In­ diana, and the United States Marine Hospital Service have been on the ground, and find clothing, in process of manufacture for the wholesalers, in many sweat-shops where/, there are ca-es of small-pox, and the.gocds are sent out without the slightest fumigation. The manufac­ turers have been asked to meet the health representatives, and unless they take step 5 for their own protection their goods will be barred out of bor­ dering States. Furthermore, unless the local health department shows it? efficiency by at once stamping out smallpox the United States Govern­ ment will be called upon under act of Congress to take hold of the situation in Chicago. CAPT. MCGRATH, of the free deliv­ ery department of the Chicago post- office, is using every effort to catch a bold thief who has rifled postal letter boxes of hundreds Of valuable lettars within the last few days. The thief is a shrewd one, and the authorities are as far removed from him a? ever. In some unaccountable way the thief has secured possession of a Yale key- to the street letter^ boxeB, and, dressed in the full 'lihiform of a letter carrier, has managed for a few days to carry on his thievery without suspicion. The districts in which this bogus collector operated, and perhaps is still operating, include that in the business center--a rich field for thieves of hi* kind. The discovery that such work was going on was made when various authorized collectors opened the boxes at proper intervals of time and found that their usual con­ tributions were either missing entirely or had been reduced by the robbery of everything except circulars and other communications not appearing to. con­ tain anything -which promised*e^sh returns. if Catfcrfe ernbrfor has put troops under onlera In tat pation of further trouble, WASHINGTON. •- SKNATOB CRISP has expressed the opinion that Congress would adjourn about July 4. A WASHINGTON dispatch says that the reduction of the treasury gold be­ low $94,000,000 has started a new spec­ ulation as to a new bond issue. Tho temper : of Congress is such that no legislation is expeete^ on financial measures, so it leaves the Secretary with no discretion except to use the means the law gives him by selling bonds to replenish the treasury when it is depleted of gold. So far no steps looking toward a bond issue have been taken, and if the gold output ceases 'none will be necessary, but among well-informed treasury officials, If the present conditions continue, a bond issue in the near future is loosed upon as almost unavoidable. AT Washington, D. C., the three leaders of the commonweal, Coxey, Browne, and Christopher ColumbuB Jones, have been found guilty of walking on the grass, and will have to submit to a, sen­ tence hereafter to be imposed by the court for their recent demonstration on the Capitol grounds.' All three of the accused were convicted on the first count of the indictment, which charged them with displaying a banner designed to bring into pub ic notice the J. S. Coxey Good Roads Association. Jones,, of Philadelphia, was acquitted of the second count, which accused them of uQidiug uti the gra«s, but Coxey and Browne were convicted. i. ^FORBIGMT If*1. , J--"-"* M.- ' ,jf " SifiS" SALVADOR advice^ say GStteral Antonio Ezeta attacked the rebels again-and dislodged them from their position at Santa Ana, killing 214.

J A point u( encouragement is the heavy buying ot wool, amounting; to 6,498,800 pounds for tho week at three chief mar­ kets. against 4.661,000 last year. In April sales were 21.S38.958 pounds, against 16.- 998.950 last year. As these sales have for years teen in steady relation to the en­ tire consumption of wool, it is fair to In­ fer that in spite of the stoppage of some Important works, and in spite of uncer­ tainties as to labor and as to legislation, consumption will continue large for some weeks at least. The enormous un­ sold stock of wheat, which made a lower average of prices in February, March, and April than was ever known in any pre­ vious month, also depressed May wheat to tho lowest point on record, although Western receipts were only 1,039,736 bush­ els, against 2,488.050 last year, and Atlan­ tic exports 1,143,285 bushels, against 1.618,- 910 bushels last year. Ootton speculators, who have seen larger receipts from planta* tlons in April than a year ago, have lost faith and grip with favoring accounts of acroHKe planted, and the price declined an eighth. The moat encouraging sign is the marked decrease in liabilities of firms fall­ ing, which were only 91.448,144 for the last v.eek of April, and for four weeks 88,723,- 708. of which f3.722,220 * ere of manufact­ uring,and $4,644,367 of trading concerns.

Y V. ; 'Doings of <fc>af**ijgY; i The Chinese treaty was debated for six houis in the Senate. Monday, yet no defi­ nite action was taken. The House be?an business by making some committee pre­ vision'for the newly elected members of the House. The New York and New Jer­ sey bridge bill was passed under a suspen­ sion of the rules, on motion of Mr. Dunphy. It meets the objections of the President to a pier in the river by referring the quest ion to a commission ot engineers, one to be an engineer ofllcer and four to be bridge- builders, all to be appointed by the Presi­ dent whose duty it shall be to determine the question of the practicability of building a bridge of a single span. A special order was adopted waking the bills for the erec­ tion of a new Government printing office and a new hall of records in the city of Washington the business of the House un­ til they are disposed ot The printing office bill was discussed until 5:07 o'clock, but long before that hour the debate de­ generated into a tariff discussion. At :12 o'clock tAB House adjourned. The Senate continued Wednesday to en­ tangle itself in the amendments to the tariff bill. The House passed the bill to authorize the East St Louis and St. Louis Bridge und Construction Company to build a bridge across the Mississippi River at St Loula Mr. Springer, ot the Committee on Banklog and Cur­ rency, reported favorably his bill to suspend the 10 per cent tax on State bank Issues during money stringencies, and gave notice th«t he would call It up a week later. Mr. Cox gave notice of an amendment to repeal tor all time the 10 per Cent tax. The House then went into committee of the whole on the naval appropriation bill, it hav­ ing been agreed to limit debate to seven hours, each side to have half. Mr Meikle- john stated that at the proper time he would offer an amendment providing that If the damage sustained bv the Govern­ ment from the substitution by the Carnegie Company of fraudulent plates exceeded the sum of 1140,000. the amount of the dair.« age should be recovered from thecompany. Mr. Pendleton replied to the charge that the President was influenced by the publi­ cation.of Andrew Carnegie's letter favor­ ing tariff reform. No one would believe that Mr. Cleveland would think a letter from Mr. Carnegie on the tariff question Wj»s worth $140,000 or would be worth any sum at all. After some discussion the com­ mittee rose and the Hcuse at <:30 ad­ journed. Jobn Patton. Jr., the new Senator from Michigan, was sworn In Thursday to suc­ ceed the late Senator Stockbrldge. The 6enate devoted Its time to discussion of the amended tariff bill. The emblems ot mourning covered the desk of the late Representative Robert F. Brattan, of Maryland, on which lay a bunch of roses when iho House met 'lbe message of the President transmitting Hawaiian corre­ spondence was laid before the House. Some routine business was transacted, and Mr. Kem called up the House bill for re- survey of Grant and Hooker Counties, Nebraska, and asked unanimous consent for its consideration. The bill was passed. The House bill granting the railroad com­ panies in Indian Territory additional powers to , obtain right of way for depot grounds was passed. Mr. • Talbot briefly announced the death of his colleague. Mr. Brattan. and offered the customary resolutions. The resolutions were adopted, and the Speaker appointed the following committee to attend th® funeral- Messrs. Talbot, of Msryland. nes. of Virginia; Causey, ot Delaware; .Jerry, of Kentucky; Meyer, of Louisiana; Hepburn, of Iowa, and Hudson, ot Kansas. The House then, at 12:3) pi m.. adjourned. Friday, after a prosy debate and agree­ ing that hereafter for an indefinite time the tariff should be taken up at noon each day. the Senate adjourned. After action on some minor bills the House went Into committee of the whole to consider gen­ eral appropriation bills (Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, in the chair), and the naval appropriation bill was taken up. The debate continued some time, taklnz on a very, acrimonious character, and charges and Countercharges of "col­ onization" in the navy yards were freely passed. At 5 o'clock. It being Friday, the House, according to custom, took a re­ cess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be devoted to private bills on the calendar. nai^jpi'Xp.i ...
