ALL READY AT KIEL.

BIG CANAL PREPARED FOR THE PASSAGE OF SHIPS. The Big Fetes Which Are to Celebrate the Event Begin Formally Yesterday —Entire City Decorated—Emperor Leaves Berlin for the Scene. Kiel, June 19.—After the labors of eight years and an expenditure of about 156,000,000 marks ($38,500,000) the great canal which joins the Baltic Sea to the German ocean is ready for use. It intersects the peninsula of Schleswig-Hol-stein from Brunsbuttel. near the mouth of the Elbe river, to Holtenau, on the Kiel bay and opposite that city, a distance of about fifty-nine miles. The whole canal is lighted by electricity, said to be the longest distance in the world illuminated continuously that way. The light furnished is powerful enough to enable navigators to plainly discern the route by night. The time required for the passage of the whole canal, including delay at the two locks, will average thirteen hours. Provision is made for vessels to get out of the way of large ships of war which may be passing through the canal. The piers of the two permanent bridges which cross the canal have casemated buttresses attached, each capable of holding 400 soldiers, and portholes for guns wrought into the masonry in times of war would be used to prevent the enemy’s passage. There was a heavy downfall of rain this morning and for a time it seemed to jeopardize the success of the fetes. Happily the clouds cleared away and brilliant sunshine, accompanied by a pleasant breeze, followed. The whole city presents a strikingly effective appearance. The flags of all nations were hoisted along theAlster at noon and th® sentries at the door of the principal hotels denoted the presence there of the Imperial guests. Naturally the chief center of attraction was the seaport, where the display of warships attracted many thousands of spectators. Those of the United States, Great Britain, Italy and Austria were especially admired. At 8 o’clock the war vessels of the fourteen nations represented here hoisted their flags to the strains of the anthems of their respective countries. The Mars hoisted the flag of Admiral Knoor and the latter subsequently, accompanied by the commanders of the foreign squadrons and many officers of various nations, started for Hamburg to meet the emperor. Berlin, June 19. —Emperor William, accompanied by four of his sons, started for Hamburg at 11 o'clock this morning. Potsdam, June 19;—The empress has started for Kiel.

Attempt to Blow Up a Temple.

Anderson, Ind., June 19. An attempt Was made to blow-up the Masonic Temple, which is under course of construction. Water was turned almost' out of the boiler with the heat on at full tilt. The boiler was quivering and about to explode when discovered. There has been a fight, which* resulted in the building of the temple by non-union workmen, and it is claimed some union sympathizer did the work. The temple is worth 140,000, and is the finest in In-. dtana.

Grasshoppers Cover the Track.

McCook, Neb., June 19.—Grasshoppers have appeared in such quantities between Eckley and Otis, a distance of twenty-five miles, as to cover the Burlington railroad track and cause much trouble. The engines have been provided with steel brushes with, which to clear the track. At luma, Col., they have invaded the grain fields, doing much damage. They seem to be working their way southeast.

Mexico Buying War Munitions.

City of Mexico, June 19.—The report that this government has placed an order in Europe for 80,000 new rifles and 80,000,000 cartridges has caused much comment in military circles. The visit to England of Capt. Brenton, commander of the corvette Zaragoa, in connection with the alleged purchase of two new warships for the Mexican government is an item of interest in tills connection.

Killed by His Mother and Brother.

Raleigh, N; C., June 19.—Near Mount Gilead, Montgomery county, two brothers, Andrew and Mann Rhodes, quarreled about some family matters. Sarah Rhodes, their mother, seized Andrew and held him while Mann, with a knife, stabbed him to death. Mrs. Rhodes and her son Mann are both in Jail. There is talk of lynching them.

Member of the Dalton Gang Captured.

Victoria, Texas, June 19.—Sheriff Sullivan has returned from his chase of the Dalton gang. Lewis Johnson, one of the three, was captured, and evidence against him is complete.

Master Mechanics in Session.

Clayton, N. Y.. June 19.—The twentyeighth annual meeting of the American Railway Master Mechanics' association is in session at Alexandria Bay, N. Y. The secretary’s report shows a membership of 600.

Spanish Troops Burn Hospitals.

New York, June 19.—The -Herald’s special cable from Panama says: "Word has been received here from Cuba that Spanish troops under General Navarre capttired the rebels’ stronghold of Grand Piedra. It is said the victors burned the hospitals in the place.”

CALLS SPAIN TO TIME.

United States Demands the Settlement of the Mora Difficulty. Washington. June 19.—The state department has taken steps according to the forms of diplomatic Intercourse to exact from Spain the payment of the long-standing Mora claim, a claim admitted by Spain in 1888 to be entitled to payment, and which Spain promised to pay in December of that year $1,500,000. Minister Taylor has been informed by telegraph of the insistence of the United States upon prompt payment of the indemnity and has been decided to press for settlement and Immediate payment. This dispatch went to Minister Taylor on June 11. The full letter of instruction, which left here on June 8, will be in his hands in a day or two at the furthest. The expectation is that there will be a prompt and satisfactory settlement and payment at once. Extreme measures will follow delay. Should the Spanish government neglect to properly impress upon the cortes the importance of granting the necessary funds, or should the cortes refuse to allow an appropriation for Mora, the United States government, in self-re-spect, will be constrained to try other means to secure payment. It may become necessary to occupy Havana and to retain control of the custom-houses there until an amount equal to the Mora indemnity has been couected. This could be done without offense to international law, if the United States were not opposed by a superior fleet and military force at Havana.

CITY TREASURER SHORT.

Henry Bolin, of Omaha, Gets Bls Accounts Badly Mixed. Omaha, Neb., June 19.—Henry Bolin, city treasurer, is short in his accounts, and a committee of his bondsmen is making a thorough examination of his books The examinat: m has progressed far enough to t.iow that the shortage is large. His books show a deposit in the Midland bank of $19,000, when in factjthere is but $9,000 of the city money in the bank. The investigation will be pushed. It was at first thought Bolin had committed suicide, but last evening he was arrested In a roadhouse near Cut-Off lake and brought to the city hall, where he met th® mayor and other City officials. He said his purpose was to kill himself had the officer not prevented. He confessed that he is SIO,OOO short in his accounts, but it is believed the shortage will be at least double that amount. For some time past, it is said, Mr. Bolin has neglected the duties of his office. He has succumbed to the influence of wine and women, and had spent money freely. It is claimed that he was intoxicated for days at a time, while the business of the office was left to his deputies. He has also lost heavily on business enterprises and it is said has been concerned largely in board of trade speculations and that his ventures in this direction have been generally disastrous.

Coreas Legation Fixed.

Washington, June 19.—The Corean government has made an allowance of 5,000 yed (about $7,000) to sustain the Corean legation at Washington. This is likely to be followed at no distant day by the appointment of a new minister, or the return the old minister, who has been in Seoul, the Corean capital, for six months. The making of a suitable allowance for the legation insures its retention here and overcomes the fears that this unique and picturesque branch of the diplomatic corps would be Withdrawn.

Report on Tin Plate.

, Washington, June 19.—Vice-Consul Harris, at Cardiff; Wales, has sent to the department of state a report showing the British export of tin plate for the first three months of 1895 as compared with the same period of 1894. In January, February and March, 1894, the total export was 80,881 tons, valued at $5,046,645, of which 48,616 tons came to the United States. During the corresponding period in 1895 the total export was 93,672 tons, of which 60,570 tons came to she United States.

Moweaqua, 111., June 19,—For the second time within a week the postoffice at Macon, seven miles north of here, has been robbed. This time they took out the safe from the office, loaded it in a wagon, took it a mile south of town and blew it open with giant powder, securing $l4O in cash and nearly SIOO in stamps. There is not the slightest clew to the thieves

Washington, June 19.—The Peruvian corporation has floated $5,000,000 of new debenture bonds in Paris. The proceeds are to be used in railway construction. The sales are made in Paris in order to keep the new bonds from conflicting with the old ones held in London.

NOW IN FULL SWING.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CONVENTION OPENS ITS MEETINGS. Large Attendance of Delegates Present — Prevident Tracy Delivers His Address— Visitors See the City During the Day and Evening. Cleveland, O., June 19.—The eighth annual convention of the League of Republican Clubs convened in Music hall this morning with 2,000 delegates in the auditorium and the galleries filled with visitors. The hall was elaborately decorated. After prayer by the Rev. S. L. Darsie, Secretary Humphrey read the roll and addresses of welcome were made by Mayor Robert E. McKisson and President D. D. Woodmansee of the Ohio League of Republican Clubs. President Tracy of Chicago then delivered the annual address. Among other remarks were the following: “It is our work to elect, not select, candidates, and promote, not promulgate, platforms. Party ®>latforms and party candidates must nave the ap-

S. B. ELKINS, proval of the people, but to Insure vl« tory in the next campaign we must pr< pare to meet organization with organ zation.” He criticised the democrati leaders for their lack of statesmanshlj claiming that the currency question ha, been brought forward to blind the eyes of the people to the serious blunders committed. Of the policy of protection to our industries he said that under it the country had developed as no other country in the history of nations, and that the threatened free trade had brought ruin to thousands of American homes. On the currency question Itself, he said: “There can be no disagreement as to the enlarged use of silver. There are few or none who are not in favor of this. The question is, How can it best be brought about? The people of this country want more money, but only on one condition, and that is that it be sound and current the wqrld over.’’ "The record of the republican party proves that It has always been in favor of Increasing the currency in keeping with the demands of the country, but only on the basis that the purchasing and debt-paying power of a dollar, whether of silver or gold, shall at all times be kept equal. This entire question as to the future use of silver will probably be settled by the great commercial nations of the world within a year. Germany and France are seeking bimetallism and England* Is fast turning in that direction. What the people should do is to bring pressure to bear upon their representatives for the appointment of delegates to an International conference with power to act, and insist upon an agreement and obligation from the nations participating to maintain the ratio as there adopted. “Finally, the great work of the republican party is the promotion v and enlargement of our industries through protection and the extension of our foreign trade through reciprocity; the establishment of a bimetallic standard of money through International agreement, in which silver shall be more fully recognized; the revival of our merchant marine and the creation of a system of irrigation for the reclamation of arid lands.” The secretary anounced that there were represented at the convention for-ty-six states and territories, a larger number than has been represented at any previous convention of the league. Among the delegates were a number of ladies, four from Colorado, ope from Hew York, two frdm Washington, and three from Illinois, the latter representing the Woman’s league clubs in that state. The ladies frdm Colorado lost no opportunity to do missionary work in favor of the free coinage of sliver. The American College league has ten delegates present. A. B. Humphrey, who has been secretary eight years, ever since the National League of Republican Clubs was organized, announces that he will not be a candidate for re-election. This withdrawal la In the interests of Gen. McAlpin for president, McAlpin and Humphrey both being from New York. The silver men have decided to wait unt.il after the appointment of the committee on resolutions before taking any action. If the committee Is organized aganist free coinage they will insist on the consideration of their 16-to-l resolution in the convention. When Secretary Humphrey called the roll of states to ascertain the number of delegates and alternates it was ascertained that the states oould report only those present and not the number to which they are entitled. This was against the silver men, whose delegations were not as full as those of other states. In the afternoon the delegates were taken about the city in carriages, and In the evening there were several receptions in their honor and a concert. Tomorrow there will be a grand excursion upon Lake Erie and an open parliament, which will be addressed by the leading republican orators. This will be followed by a reception and banquet. The business meeting will be held on Friday, when the election of officers and the adoption of resolutions will take place. This, of course, will be the most important session, and in the intervening time the hard-money element will use every influence at its disposal to effect some kind of a compromise with their opponents, but the possibility of such an arrangement going through seems very slight

IOWA PROHIBITIONISTS MEET

No Candidates for the Nomination for Governor. Des Moines, June 19. —The Prohibition State convention met this morning in the Young Men’s Christian association hall. It was called to order by Chairman Wright, of the state central committee, who introduced Prof. F. E. Hirsth as temporary chairman and Samuel Dickey, chairman of the National prohibition committee, as permanent chairman. The convention caucused for members of the committee. This convention is notable for the presence of a number of lady delegates who came in response to an invitation in the call for Women’s Christian Temperance Unions and also all other organizations in sympathy with prohibition to send delegates. The convention will probably condemn the republican party for the passage of the Mulct law. There are no candidates for governor. All offices are seeking the man.

DROP OF THREECENTS.

CHICAGO WHEAT TRADERS SOMEWHAT PANICKY. All Markets Break, Com, Oats and ft* visions, as Well as th* L*ad«r —Not Much Bear News—Price* in Wall Street Yesterday.

Chicago, June 19.—Wheat did not hold its own up to midday. Foreign cables were conflicting. From Minneapolis the trade got the report that Northwestern Miller had cable telling of bad condition of Russian rye crop. The export sales yesterday of 184,000 bu wheat at New York and 96,000 at outports was more than offset by the light export clearances of 28,000 bu wheat and 16,000 brls flour. Northwest receipts were light at 114 cars compared with 228 a year ago. This was offset by primary i receipts of 191,000 bu with Western ship- ■ ments but 179.000. No one will believe . crop talk either way any more. There ; was grasshopper talk from the West. All this counted for nothing. The trade took kindly to the bear side. The break of Id to l%d at Liverpool probably started more selling than anything else. July wheat sold 74*40 to 73%c oji the first ! drive, then rallied to 74%c where it was stopped twice yesterday, then went back I around 74e before 12 o’clock with a sharp ' break to 73c before 12:30 p. m. September wheat sQld 7£%c to fs%c to 76%c to 74%c. Wheat got very heavy at the close. On a selling flurry July went off to 71%c, and closed 71%c, September 73%c. Loss for the day about 3c. From New York came talk of adverse finances, possible gold exports, etc. Local cash sales were practically nothing, and no fresh export business reported from seaboard. Before 1 o'clock to-day corn showed a decline of %c for July and 1c for September from yesterday closing. This was not surprising In the face of the 2o break in a panicky wheat market. Local receipts were only 94 cars. Estimated receipts for to-morrow were 90 cars. The movement here yesterday was 90,000 bu in, 210,000 out. Western markets shipped 247,000 bu, 100,000 in excess of receipts. Exports were 73,000 and yesterday export sales New York and outports given at 216,000 bu. July sold early at 50%c to 50%c and broke to 49%c September sold at 51%©51%c and then off to 50%c. Corn closed 1c off July at 49% c, l%c off September at 50%c. Corn charters were for 64,000 bu. Provisions opened about steady. There was at one time a little up-turn in pork to $12.75 for September. Other stuff showed no strength. Late in the day all products sold off with the break in grain markets. Pork closed 12%c lower at $12.60. September, lard 7%c off at $6.75, ribs 5c oft at $6.50 same month.

DESERTS LORD ROSEBERY.

Mr. Gladstone Dissatisfied wit* Um Preeent Administration. JLondon, June 19.—The Times announces that Mr. Gladstone has withdrawn from his pairing agreement with the Hon. Charles Villiers, M. P., because he wishes to be regarded as having an open mind on the Welsh church disestablishment bill. In an editorial commenting on the above the Times says: “Blow upon blow has fallen on the government recently, but none is comparable to this, which means the withdrawal of Mr. Gladstone's moral support from Lord Rosebery’s administration. its effect will be widespread. The immediate prestige of his name has enabled the government to weather some dangerous storms, and it is the very foundation of the political fabric of the present government. It is hardly possible to escape the conclusion that he extends his disapproval to their general policy. It is believed that he wanted a more drastic dealing with the Armenian question. In any case his* act will complete the disintegration of the government and is a portent of dissolution that cannot be misconstrued.’*
