SHREWD AGENTS SEEK FACTS.
Will Disoover Just How Much It Cost to
Buy State Delegations for
McKinley.
Washington, June 19—John R. Mc-
Lean is about to bring a lot of miser
able chickens home to roost in Mark
ll&ruuUs-baclc yarrU McLean has em
ployed a number of shrewd special
agents to go through Southern States
and ascertain exactly what it, cost to
buy the delegations for McKinley in
the winter of 1895-96. They are get
ting facts with affidavits. McLean
sagely works on the theory that the
fellows who received money more than
a year ago are without money now.
They want more money. With a little
financial inducement they will talk.
Some of them are talking. AH of the
information which the McLean men
gather, and it must he supported by
affidavits, will he published in the
Cincinnati Enquirer and republished
in the democratic papprs of the south.
The experienced Republican politi
cian who gives your correspondent
this information says that Hie corrup
tion in Louisiana and Texas has al
ready been demonstrated. There are
also agents of McLean investigating
with some degree of success tlie meth
ods which were used to take the state
of Minnesota away from Senator
Davis, the state of Illinois away from
Senator Cullom, the state of Nebraska
away from Senator Manderson, and
the state of Vermont away from
Speaker Reed. McLean does not em
ploy cheap men. He has the best men
that can be fmind fur I his wnrl^^*L.'-B = ,
"'vesUgatlon. McLean is out for the
senatorship and he means business.
He is going after Hanna with a long
stick and a sharp knife. Colonel Ike
Hill says: “Johnny McLean will go
all over Ohio witli a whetstone in Ins
bootleg and his galluses down until
after harvest.”
PEACE CONCLUDED.
The Greeks and Turks Have at Last Ai
ranged Terms.
Constantinople, June 19.—The nego
tiations between the representatives
of the powers for the establishment of

have been brought to a satisfactory
conclusion. Ail points involved have
been settled, except the method of
guaranteeing the indemnity to be paid
Turkey by Greece, which is fixed at
36,000,000 pounds, Turkish money.
It is regarded that probably a com
mittee composed of influential Greek
residents of foreign countries will be
appointed to control li nances of
Greece and stand security for the pay
ment of the indemnity
Arreutad Prather.
Indianapolis, Did., June 29. — Benja

from Havana says a Madrid dispatch

In Havana it was reported yesterday
that orders have been given to trans
form twenty of the best vessels of the
transatlantic into armed cruisers for
immediate use in West India waters
in view of the strained state of exist
ence between Spain and the United
Stares. At the arsenal here a double
force of employes is working both day
and night, and new torpedoes are be
ing laid at tiie entrance to Cuban
ports of importance.
From Banes word comes that a gov
ernment vessel was sunk at the en
trance to the harbor during the last
bombardment by a shell from Roloff’s
rebel batteries upon the shore, tints
closing the port to navigation.

Spanish troops of Guines garrison

MOTIVE OF THE FIGHT.
Ck::n:d That a Discharged Official Wanted a
Fat Job.
Macon, June 19. It developed today
that the whole scheme to place the
Southern railway in the hands of a re
ceiver was the work of a former offi
cial of the Georgia Southern and Flor
ida railroad, who had been deposed
from a lucrative position, his object
being in this last move to become re
ceiver of the Southern.
A few prominent men, who had been
induced to join in the fight against the
Southern, now declare they were de
ceived as to the real motive of the
suit.
It has become evident that popular
feeling is wholly against a receiver
ship and -wrecking vast investments
simply to right some fancied wrong.
Stirm in the Channel.
Dover, Eng., June 19.—The storm in
channel continues. A large steamer is
reported adrift and cross channel
boats are greatly delayed.
WHERE ARE AMERICANS?
The London Jubilee Speculators Miss Our
Caih.
London, June.l9.—London is in the
midst of the jubilee fever. The streets
are impassable, resembling the mix
ture of carpenter shops and country
fairs, and are crowded with excur
sionists from all parts of England.
Everything seems to have been half
done. Many of the decorations are al
ready seedy from a two days’ storm.
Nothing seems to be lacking in en
thusiasm, unless it is in the oase of
the syndicates of speculators in jubilee
seats, who, at all places except St.
Paul’s cathedral, are accepting any
reasonable offer.
The combined losses of the four
largest speculators exceed $200,000,
and on every hand are inquiries as to
“where are tlie Americans?" Gonsid
siderable disgust and even resentment
are expressed at the fact that Ameri
cans have not bought all the available
seats at the speculators’ prices. Much
sarcasm is directed against the stock
holders.
Rebels Are Aotive.
Victoria. B. €., June 19.—The Pa
cific mail steamer Braemer brings
news that Chinese rebels in Formosa
are preparing for a second attack of
Taipeh, the capital of Formosa. The

and are enlisting numerous volun
teers, and regular troops are stationed
there.

THE MARKETS.
Quotations By Telegraph for The Time')’
Commercial Readers.
I’aine, Murphy & Co.’s Crain Letter.
Savannah, .1 tine 19. —A range of only
about 2 cents per bushel for the week,
with the close today practically the
same as last Saturday, describes the
action of the market forsix days about
as well as we can tell it. News has
been of no importance, and no attrac
tion to speculation and the waiting
mood that seems to prevail at the pres
ent has created nothing more nor less
than a scalping market. Corn has
held steady the whole week. Provis
ions closed weak, with apparently no
encouragement to holders.
Paine, Murphy Co/b Cotton Letter.
Savannah, June 19. — In spite of the
fao' of good sales in Liverpool our
market was dull and sold down below
close of last night. There seemed to
be no evidence of buying till toward
the close when a more active demand
set in and market advanced from 7 to
8 points above the lowest of the day.
Paine, Murphy & Co.’a Stock Letter.
Savannah, June 19. —The stook mar
ket was less active today, but showed
considerable resistance to continued
pperators designed to bring about a
reaction. There was a fall of over 1
per cent, in sugar on what was re
garded as Washington selling, al
though it rallied partially near the
close. ______

of retaliation if disregarded. The
note begins with an apology for ex -
pressing an opinion that under or
dinary conditions might be regarded
as trenching upon domestic affairs,

ese interests are involved, and in the
opinion of the Japanese minister tlie
proposed increase of duties will injure
the United States no less, than Japan
by retarding the growth ot commer
cial relations.

that will be injudiciously affected are
lightweight silks, silk handkerchiefs,
matting, hemp, jute, rugs and carpets
and tea. in the case of silks the min
ister says the proposed duty will
amount to an advalorem rate of be
tween 95 and 100 per cent, anti upon

cent. more. The rates, it is stated,
are practically prohibitory and hear
