OFFiGBAL PAPER OF THE GBTY OF ST. PAUL. VCT,. XXIV.—NO. 161. IBHHPES CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT IN MRS. IH'KIM.KV'S CONDITION or- FERS ENCOURAGEMENT PHYSICIANS CONSULT DAILY MAINTENANCE OF STREXGTII IS LARGELY DUO TO USE OF STIMULANTS PLANS TO GO TO CANTON WASHINGTON, June 9.—The slight Im provement In Mrs. McKinley which man ifested itself the latter part of the week continues, and hope begins to be felt that .she may after all recover from the pres ent attack. The Improvement, however, is so slight as not to change materially the extreme gravity of the case." The usual consultation of the physicians held this morning and, at its close, the following bulletin was Issued: "11:15 a. m.—Mrs. McKinley's physicians 5 a very comfortable md continues to Impi i': i-t that .Mrs. McKinley has more than own and that no uhfavor turn has occurred Is considered in way encouraging, but as this re sult . tly to the constant use of powerful medicines the physicians the effect of reducing the stimulants, and llki wise have to cope with the effect on her system by the constant administra tion of them only prolonging her life and making ultimate recovery at least a pos sibility. These stimulants and the com plaint from which she suffered in Cali fornia, \Uii.'h is now under better control, howi ver weakens her powers of resist and apprehension is ever preseni i sinking Bp< II may occur suddenly from which she cannot, be rallied. Dr. Kfxey regularly makes the visits Mil evening, and there is a regular I tat ion every morning. He called again this afternoon and found Mrs. Mc- Kinley comfortable and progressing as favorably as possible. He and President McKinley drove »<n.»for an hour tins morning, both go.hg to the sick room im mediately on returning. Subsequently the doctor said there had been no change. Relatives and personal friends of the family continue to show their sympathy by inquiring at the doors and leaving their cards. Even members of the cab inet merely leave their cards in order to avoid disturbing the president. Mrs, Charles Emory Smith, Secretary Long, Lieut. Gen. and Mrs. Miles, Commander Cowles, of the navy; Assistant Secretary of War Sanger und Mrs. Hitchcock were among those who thus expressed their sympathy during- the day. REPORTS ARW ENCOURAGING. Te reports from the sick robin up to a late hour tonight were riocidedly encour aging. Dr. Rixey appeared much better satisfied v.itii the patient's condition to night than for some tim.r Mrs. Me Kin ley sat up for a few minutiVs today. It was tne second time sh-i has been able lv-> do so in sor<e i:me. a irgcor. General Sternberc remain, d longer than usual this evening. Heretofore he has main tained a sphynx-like silence about Mrs. MeKlnley's condition, but when he left tonight- he said: "Mrs. McKinley is doing very well now. There are no new developments." Mia. Me"K!nlcy will be t ik-ii to Can ton when she- is in condi: o:i to bear the journey. Extensive preparations lvive been Piade at the McKlnicy horn* in Canicn, including the,build! v.? of a port© COChero and the remodeling of portions of the house, and it was p'annel last nutumn that she and the president should go to Canton about July 1 of this sum mer. Tn case Mrs. McKinley recovers, this plan will be carried out, but it is rot expected she wJll be strong enough to leave here the Ist of July even if im* provernerit is steady. Dr. Rixey said to night that he was unprepared to predict whether she would be able to carry out t -—» plans. It is believed considerable benefit will accrue from removal to hr old home, especially a-i it is cooler and more breezy then? than here. There is ni truth In the statement that the dispatch boat Dolphin is being sent here with a view to taking her out in thai vessel later on. Secretary of the Treasqry Gasre C >mp troller and Mrs. Dawes and John P. Blake, of Canton, an old friend of the president, called during the evening, but contented themselves with personal in quiries. The president received no vis itors during the day or n'grht. Dr. Rixey alter bis visit to the White house tonteht, said on leaving at 1020 o'clock: "Mrs. Mclvinley ?.•? slowly improving:. Sin is- resting- very comfortably now nil.! is doing very nicely." FRENCHMEN ARE CURIOUS WANT TO KNOW IF FIRING CAN KON PREVENTS FROST. ■WASHINGTON, June o.—The extensive reports of United States consul Covert, nt Lyons, France, relative to the effect of cannon firing- as a protection 'fop orchards and vineyards from hail storms, and also for thfl purpose of mitigating or nullify ing the effects of frost upon vegetation have prompted numerous inquiries by horticulturists in this country ps to when, if nt all, our government would adopt similar methods of protection. . Prof. William Ivlorre, of the department of agriculture, acting under the direction of Secretary Wilson, therefore has issued to the press the following statement: "After an examination of all that has passed during the last few years, my opinion is that it is a popular Illusion Similar to the belief in the moon weather. The ignorant peasantry of Europe seem to be looking for something miraculous. They rather believe In cannonading as a means of prelection against the weather, •whereas, with a less amount of money, they might mutually insure against in evitable events. Such operations would have to be carried on at too great a scale to warrant any community or nation adopting them. The effects of a rain storm or tornado exceeds all the cambative efforts of mankind. On account of my experience of the past ten years I am loth to believe that a protection against hall storms will ever be practical or ever attempted, in the United States, much less encouraged by the intelligent portion of the com munity. Every on should be made t^. counteract the .spread of the Italian de lusion which has been imported into this country by Consul Covert." 2JO MORE CHANCES TO GET HIGH ISay« German Consul for Immigrant* to America.

Rockefeller, in speaking j of Mr. Rockefeller's recent gift of a large sum of money for medical research, safd tonight: "Mr. Rockefeller has placed - his sug gestion of medical research into the hands of a number of famous medical scien tists, among the representatives of Co lumbia and Johns Hopkins universities, the University of Pennsylvania, the Uni- | versity of Chicago, and other institutions. j These gentlemen will look, over the ground and make such recommendations ' as they regard as practical.

THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION OF NEBRASKA MAKES GOOD ITS PROMISES OF RE- are mm REPUBLICAN STATESMEN WAST M'KIN-LEY TO HAVE AN- Til 11 TERM GROSVENOR GIVES APPROVAL SAYS IT'S TIME TO ABOLISH NO TION THAT THIRD TERMS DON'T GO WHY PRECEDENT WAS SET CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 9. — "There has been no time in our history when conditions would so justify the election of a president to a third term as in the case of McKinley," remarked Congressman Grosvenor, to a group of friends with whom, he was chatting familiarly. "Mc- Kinley is personally the most popular president we have had in a long time, and he has certainly most creditably per formed the duties of his high office. I think it is time, furthermore, to demolish the fiction that there is an unwritten law, established by Washington, that no presi dent of the United States may accept a third term. The facts are, as any stu dent of the times may discover, that it was fear of defeat which impelled Wash ington to decline a third nomination. Be ing a Federalist, he was the object of very violent attacks on the part of the Democrats of his day, and recognizing the growing strength of his opponents, he doubted, as I believe, his ability to again secure an election if he should run." EDITORS TO SEE SHOW KEWSPAPER FOLKS WILL HE IN HUFFALO WEDNESDAY. BUFFALO, June 9.—On account of the large number of visiting newspaper men and womm expected at the Pan-American exposition this week, Wednesday, June 12, is announced by Direc-tor General Bu- I chanan as editors' and publishers' day.

STORM RUINS WHEAT CROP FOUR KIXDREU OKLAHOMA FARMS DEVASTATED IJY FRIDAY'S CYCLONE. WICHITA, Kan., June 9.—A corre spondent who arrived here tonight from the scene of devastation In Kay county, Oklahoma, says that the storm of Fri day night ruined the wheat crop »f 40) farms west and northwest of Blackwell. These farms are all in one body of terri tory. The farmers who had purchased twiine and harvest machinery are asking the local dealers to take them back, and the dealers have referred the matter to the factories. The loss of crops will cause no distress as the farmers are in good condition financially, owing to a succes sion of good crops during the i ast live seasons. LIKELY TOJCCEPT. CUBANS . "WILL PROBABLY AC QXIE.SCI2 IX PL ATT AMEXD MEiXT. HAVANA, June The N conservative members of the constitutional convention are absolutely confident tonight that the Platt amendment will be accepted, and' that several Radicals will Join with the fifteen delegates who have heretofore vot ed in favor of acceptance. The last few days seem to have brought about a de cided change in the attitude of delegates ■who had been bitterly arraigning the Washington government for changing the correct interpretation of the amendment. The strong pressure from the outside brought to bear upon the convention to finish its business and to place the coun try on a settled business basis has had an excellent effect* upon the Radicals, In ducing them to accept the inevitable, and some of them now argue that it will be perhaps better to accept the amend ment, hoping for some form of Independ ence, than to prolong the military oc cupation of the island. . . The. convention will meet in secret ses sion tomorrow, but It is ,expected sev eral days will ■ elapse before a: vote is taken. FORM. 1! 11l SB SIRGEON GENERAL. ON GEN. MILES' STAFF AND STARTED "EMBALM ED" BEEF INVESTIGATION WAS FOUND BY SERVANT Shut Himself in Right Temple—Deed Thought to Jluvo Been Prompted by In tjoiiinht. PITTSBURG, June Maj. W. H. Daly, surgeon general on the staff of Maj. Gen. Miles in Porto Rico, /committed suicide at his home here today by shooting him self in the right, temple. The body of the doctor was'found-in the bathroom by Miss Mary Short, the housekeeper, lying in a pool of blood, a 82-callbre revolver lying- on the floor. Dr. Foster, who was summoned at once, found the bullet hole in the temple, and announced that deaths-had taken place several hours before.^.; Miss Short then remembered hearing a sharp report about 7:30 a. m., but thought.it was the quick closing of a window by some one. No cause is known for Daly's deed unless it be that insomnia drove him- to tem porary insanity. For some time past he has been unable to sleep regularly, and it is thought that after a sleepless night he concluded to end all. The doctor was' a widower and leaves no immediate fam ily. He was fifty-nine years old and for many- years has been prominent in" medical circles. He gained international prominence during the' Cuban war, as it was his report to the'commanding gen eral of the army that started the "em balmed beef" investigation. MILKS IIS NOT SURPRISED. Attributes* Dr. Daly's Suicide to 111 Health and Bereavement. • WASHINGTON, June 9.—Lieut. Gen. Miles said tonight that he was not sur prised at the suicide of Dr.' Daly in view of the great personal ' bereavement that the doctor had suffered recently and the undermining of his health by a severe attack of the grip, last winter. Gen. Miles esteemed Dr. Daly highly and the two'were intimate friends. His death came as a severe blow to the general. Dr. Daly was in the city last March at the second inauguration of President McKinley. If Gen. * Miles can arrange matters he will attend the funeral of his old friend. Surgeon Daly was a deputy to Assistant Surgeon; General Charles R. Greenleaf, on the staff of the command ing general, during the Spanish-American war, and Gen. Miles testified tonight to the thoroughness with which he perform ed his duties i nattending to the wants i of the sick, caring for-the wounded and ! establishing hospitals, It was through Dr. Daly's allegations that the beef fur nished to the army had been tampered with and preserved 'by means of acids which he alleged were detrimental to the health of the soldiers that a board of army inquiries conducted the celebrat ed beef inquiry during the Spanish war.

GALENA, Mo., June 9.— unusual scene is presented here at the prelim inary hearing of Mrs. John Stallion, her father, James Crabtree, and his two sons, Frank and Charles Crabtree, for the murder of Alice Stallion, the woman's sixteen-year-old stepdaughter. The hear ing is being held in a grove, the two justices sitting at a table under a treo, and 2.C00 people attracted from points for miles around forming a circle about •the court and defendants. Notwithstand ing no overt act has yet been attempted, threats have been made against th } Crabtrees by many of th ■; strangers in town, and the county officials are taking all precautions at their command to pro tect the prisoners. Galena Is off the rail read, and the fact that the 2,<KO people would care to come miles to attend the hearing is considered significant. It has been decided to exhume the body of the girl that It may be exam ined by the. doctors to Investigate a theory of the county prosecutor that a criminal assault was made upon her by one or both of the Crabtreee boys, and that they killed her to hide the crime,, SIIIFIIiM ■IN CAMPS PROVIDED BY ENGLISH FOR BOIER WOMEN AM) CHIL DREN REFUGEES CONDITIONS ARE APPALLING Rev. Yon Brucklialnen and Brother Have Come to America to Invoke Aid for the Sufferers. NEW YORK, June 9.—The Rev. H. D. yon Bruckhuisen, of Pretoria, South Af rica, v the minister who closed the volks raad with prayer after President Kru ger's ultimatum had been read to that body, is in this city. His brother, Dr. H. J. ' yon Bruckhuisen, of the Orange Free State, who served in the Boer ar mies, accompanies him. Their mission in this country is to raise money for the Boer women and children now in refugee camps. Rev. Dr. yon Bruckh4l sen said in an interview: "Our women and children, who are at present concentrated in camps establish ed by the British, are in a horrible con dition. It was bad enough when I left South Africa, but I know from a letter that I have received— only the other day from -my sister—that it is a hundred times worse now." When the doctor left South Africa h« said he was virtually ' lished by order of Gen. Maxwell, ir' ry governor of Pretoria. Dr. yon .^ru. -uisen said fur ther 'of the camp/, "in an official re port made by Dr. -Donald P. * "cKenzie, of the British army, on Feb. 18 of this year, the British government is notified that the conditions are horrible, the death rate appalling, and the food furnished wholly unfit to eat." .-"",<"; The Afrikanders, Rev. Dr. yon Bruck huisen avers, will never be overcome, and all reports to the contrary are false. The Boer army numbers 15,000 to 17,000 men, and Is constantly being augmented by Cape Colony Boers. The Boer forces are now armed with. Lee Metford rifles, he says, and they have tons of ammuni tion buried which they can use at any time against the British. ■* - BIG SUNDAY CROWD.
