Let us stand by our principles till the last man falls in the fight and then volunteers will spring up and take our places.

In the afternoon tbe second toplo of the Young Men's Christian Association and Its attitude with regard to the social question was taken up and discussed At tne evening session tne tnira topic was dismissed.

The subject was "Tbe Young Men's Christian Association in a Roman Catholic country; how to coun. teract the difficulties whloh prevent their development." Two papers were read on the subject, one by Mr. Athrad of Parts, and the other by Rsv. Teoflle Gay of Rome. A Storm at Keokuk, Keokuk.

The 8t, John Marsh company, dealers in lumber In Kansas and Colorado, made a voluntary assignment today to Morton Hull Co whloh was organized six years ago. Attorney Mills said: "The face of the assets is 8253,000 and they will certainly realize $160,000.

The liabilities are $146,000. The failure is due to the stringency of the money market and the fact that the recent failures of the Peter Lumber company and Howell have made it difficult for lumber men to get accommodations at banks. Tbe company's busine has been in Kansas and Colorado and accounts are what are known as slow. In fact, collections could nut be made fast enough to meet maturing obligations and the assignment was made in ord.tr to treat all creditors alike. If given time, tbe estate will pay dollar for dollar.

Executed, S'MLA, India. Aug, 13. Another illustration of the swift punishment which England indicts upon those who violate ber rights or In fringe upon her dignity In India was given today at Manipur, when the two leaders of the massacre of the British officials in March, last met their death at tbe gates of tbe capital. The two men executed were members of a reigning familv of Manipur, but neither their high po sitions nor the appeals for clemency that had been made for them could save them from the vengeance of the law. They were taken trom tbe prison to the sallows and were hanged like ordinary murderers.

The principal victim of today's tragedy was tbe sean- puty, or commander-in-chief of the Manipur army, tie was a younger brother of the rajah of Manipur and some vears aero drove the raiah into ex ile and placed another brother on the throne who governed Manipur under the title or Jubraja or Kegent. It was the senaputy who instigated mis acre ot Chief Commissioner Quin- ton, tbe political agent at Grimwood at a fatal durbar held in Manipur. The other victim was General Tongalo, who violated the flag of trnce under which the Englishmen were decoyed from their residency at Manipur, which thev had so gallantly defended sealnst the overwhelming odds when attacked by the Manipurland who gave tbe order to tne executioner to sinne their beads and feet from the nrtnnnnra. An immense crowd of na tives witnessed the executions. There was no sign of any disturbance among the spectators.

This was undoubtedly due to the fact that a large detachment of troops, both British and natives were present and had any disorders occurred, they were prepared to quell it in very short order. The regem or. maDiiiur nun Prince Aneroa Sona whose sentences of death were commuted by the viceroy to transportation for life Bnd the forfeiture of their property, and will shortly be taken from the country. It has not yet been publicly announced to which of the British possessions they will be transported, Source of tha Mississippi. Berne, Swltz Aug.

13. At the in ternational geographical congress, Mr. Stout, of New York, read a paper by Mr. Hurlbut, of New York, on the pretended discovery of the source of the Mississippi bvCantaln Glazier. Hurlbut's paper dealt in great detail with the history of the Mississippi explorations and favored Nlcolette's discoveries.

The paper con cluded with the statement that the American geographioal society desired to submit this history of the pretended exploration by a man whose own writings showed that he had never seen the head waters of the Mississppl. The delegates listened to the reading of the paper with marked attention and appointed a committee to consider the subject. The committee on a universal meridian recommended Switzerland to Invite the nations ot the world to a conference on the subject.

In Darkest Africa, London, Aug. 13.

The woik "In Darkest Africa" is meeting with big sales. In today's issue, there is a long list of fresh persecutions against the Jews ordered by the czar. Evidence is also given which shows that the state ment alleged to have been made by the czar that the Jews were connected with the dynamite outrages, is unfounded. One instance of the intolerance of tbe czar is given in the book. Her majesty in company with the czar some time since inspected the troops forming the garrison at Moscow.

The Jewish sol dlers were ordered to remain in the barracks and not participate in the parade because their presence was obnoxious to the majesties. This issue of the book also contains a letter from the Duke of Westminster saying things in Russia are going from bad to worse. The Inhumanity or the Hussian officials is astonishing and almost incredible. The czar, according to the same au thority, reuders himself liable to be placed in the cntagory of rulers, who like Philip II of Spain clothed with Irresponsible power, has used it, not for the happiness of tbe subjects but for their ruin. Such rulers, Drake says, deserve contemplated loathing and of all that is bf st In tbe civilized world.

One writer, a Jew, ssys every petty official assumes the right to treat them as be thinks fit, and instances the fact that the police of Llbau recently issued an order prohibiting Jews from bathing in theseain the summer. A letter received from a gentleman In Charlotte-burg, describing the condition of the Jews vyI.o are from Russia says refugees who have not sufficient money to pay for full price tickets to America have received tickets from the Jewish emigration committee at less than cost.

President Polk Not Expected to Live. Memphisi Aug. 13, R. Dudley Frayser, president of the Security and Memphis City bank, secretary of the Memphis Railway company, principal owner of the Publio Ledger and one of ihe most prominent wealthy citizens In Memphis was this afternoon chloroformed at the Gayoso hotel, by a man giving his name as John A. Mor ris and his residence at New Orleans.

About 6 o'clock this morning, a gen tleman registering as John Morris, New Orleans, was assigned to a room at the Gayoso. During the morning he ordered a bottle ot whisky from the bar and the bell boy secured a bottle of osmphor for him from the drug store. About S3 o'clock this afternoon, Fray zer was sitting in his private office at the Memphis City bank when he received a note signed "'John A. Morris," reqnesting him to call on him at once on business of importance. Frayzer was at tne hotel in a lew minutes and was ushered into Morris' room.

Tbe latter introduced himself as John A. Morris, of the Loulsana Lottery company, of New Orleans. He said the lot tery company had been antagonized, oi late, greatly in that state; that tbeir in vestments bad been unfavorable and the lottery property generally was unsafe, and be wished to consult him in regard to it, Frayzer gave him what information he could in regard to the Memphis monled Institutions, but would give no advice and turned to go. At this juncture Morris asked him to have a drink, tie deolined, saying he did not drink, but Morris insisted, and Frayser walked across tbe room to a window while Morris opened a satchel. "Here" said Morris and as Frayser turned around he was greatly startled to find two revolver- one in each Morris' hands staring him in the face.

Said Morris, "I am a desperate man. 1 have no money, my family is In New Orleaos, are in destitute circumstances and I must have money. You must endorse a check for $5,000." When Frayser hnd recovered from his astonishment he tried to argue with the man, telling him that he did not have that much maney to give him. The New Orleans man stuck to it however, and Fravstr finally agreed to endorse a check for 500. Tbe check was then drawn on the Hibernian National bank of New Orleans and he endorsed it "ft.

D. Frayser," hoping the cashier at the bank would suspect something was wrong, refuse to cash itas he always endorsed his checks Dudley Frayser." The bell boy was at once called by Morris and the cbek sent to the Memphis City bank. Frayser being kept prisoner in the hotel. After the bell boy had gone, Morris walked over to where Frayser was standing and clapping a napkin over bis face, threw him on the bed and that is the last that Frayser remembers, The proprietor of the hotel was notified about 6 o'clock this evening tbat there was something wrong in Morris' room, as the cries of "murder," "thieves" could be plainly beard issuing from tbat room. He called tbe clerk and they broke open tbe door of tbe room, Frayser was tound unconclous, tossing and turning on the bed, and a dose of chloroform was overpowering bim, His watoh was gone and Morris was gone.

Tbe check lay on tbe table unpaid. The bell boy had taken it to the bank twice at Morris' request, payment, however, being each time re fused. Tbe police are greatly puzzled over tbe affair and are searching every corner ot the city for Morris. Will Furnish Food. Kinqfsher, Aug.

Lor Fletcher, one of the republican leaders in this state, returned this morning from a pilgrimage to Bar Harbor, where he saw and bad a long talk with Blaine. Fletcher le an old acquaintance of the chieftain. He said this evening Blaine would live to serve bis country many years yet.

Fletcher told him of the talk in the northwest of a big wheat cron and Blaine's health, fie assured him that While the east sidewalk of Broadway, just below Fulton street, was tilled with people the other forenoon pretty little incident caused a blockade of pedestrians.

His The HiarriHaio, August 13. A dispatch from Miss Ida Bout church Thun officiating. the Past mouthi there the music -en one lot of 1,500,000 bushels ef the proct sent through Duluth to the east t'ha Jy Minneapolis parties, A good deal of i. speculation has arisen regarding this shipment and a further consignment of 5O0.OCO bushels that is no passing through the city. The Herald says this wheat is being sent out of the country by Pillsbury aad every bushel of it represents a big loss to the English syndicate running the Minneapolis mills.

Las fall, PillBbury was a persistent bnll and an exponent of $3 wheat and 810 flour. He loaded up with an immense quantity of grain at prices ranging from $1 10 to $1 19 busbel and carried a good share of the year as high as 40,000,000 bushels. Since then wheat has gone off pretty steady and a short time ago a Minneapolis syn -dtcate found itself with enough wheat to make a million barrels of flour, right on the eve of the biggest wheat crop the world ever seen, and with stuff worth about 90 cents a bushel, Some of this wheat had to be gotten out of the way, hence the shipment of 2,000,000 bushels to the east by way of Duluth. The entire lot was Pent through on a special cut rate by the Great Northern. PilUbury Affirms It, Minneapolis, Ang.

13. Pills- uals. The department had assurances that these bonds would be taken up by the national banks and need tor the purpose of Increasing tlu cliculali.n. This was the argument that mainly in dnced the department to adopt the 2 per cent plan. So far, however, the assurances hve not been made good, According to a prominent treasury official this is entirely the fault of me rjanKs.

There is no sense, said he to an associated press reporter this afternoon, in owners of these bonds holding them for redemption by the government at par when then they are at a premium of 4 of 1 per cent on the market tbey are holding out for a greater premium, or the banks while tbey were obstenstbly so willing lo taKe up the loan for tbe purpose of increasing tbe circulation, they have gone back entirely on their promises to tbe department and are making no etl-ort whatever to secure these bonds.
