St. Louis, Mo, June 19.—Last night Senator Teller told one of the leading democratic politicians of Missouri that he was for Bland for president. Today his friends, the men who followed him when he watked out of the convention, issued not take much stock | declared him in the race. Rev Kennett of Rich Hiil, is visit- ing his son at this place and assist- ing him in building a new house. case. : NELS' CLERK, | Teller refused to discuss the mat- ‘ter to day.

This is because of the effort they, made in the convention yesterday to advertise that he is a republican in all things until it comes to the ques tion of finances. He knew that his) way and that of the republican party | must part, but he lingered as long | as possible. He was one of those who made the fight to have the vote upon the adoption of the financial | plank of the platform taken sepa rately from that on the rest of the platform. This privilege was grant-| ed, and he and the other free silver delegates voted for the rest of the platform. | If he intended to become a candi-| date upon the democratic ticket, it) is argued’ it would have been more | consistent for him not to have asked | for a division of the platform, and for himself and followers to have | voted agaidst its adoption in its en-| tirety, as he has by his vote declared himeelf in favor of many principles which will not be the principles the | platform will advocate. Many be-} lieve, notwithstanding the manifesto | issued today, that Senator Teller) will not allow his name to go before | the Chicago convention, but that he will be there to urge the nomination | of Bland or some other free silver demoerat For the Missouri Room. Maj. H. W. Salmon has sent a handsomely framed copy of Bing- ham’s famous picture, “General Or- der No. 11,” to the ex Confederate Association, to be placed in the Mis- seuri room, at the coming reunion at Richmond. The picture is a wonderfully perfect delineation of the desolation caused by the enforce- ment of this famous order of Gen- eral Ewing, and was painted by the greatest Missouri artist, James C. Bingham. When Ewing contem- to utterly devastate Bates, Cass and Jackwon counties with fire and sword he was urged to be merciful by Bingham who was his chief of staff. Convinced of the cruelty and utter uselessness of the order, Bingham was urgent in his appeals, but find- ing the general deaf to all his en- treaties, he told him that if he en- forced it, he would “Damn Him to Everlasting Fame.” The order was enforced and the result was the painting of this, the most famous of all Bingham’s pietures, and one of the most terrible and pathetic of its in the foreground, on whom all eyes has been given the features and dreas of Ewing, and the picture has indeed seemed to keep him ever prominently before the public—so faitfully indeed was the likeness drawn that last year when the gen- eral died, his picture in the painting could be distinguished by the cuts kind.

Jeffersur City, Mo, June 19.— The Board of Fund Commissioners met today and ordered warrants drawn for $99,445 to pay the inter- est due July 1 on the outstanding bonded debt of the state, and $26,- 923.95 to pay the interest due on the school seminary certificates of the state. The board also ordered a warrant drawn for $837,000 to pay off and retire 337 of the old Hannibal and St. Joseph bonds maturing July 1. With this payment there will remain but eleven of the 6 per cent bonds outstanding against the state. They mature in July, 1897, but there is plated issuing this order, whieh was} money now in the treasury to pay | them, and an effort is being unude to procure and retire them in advance of their maturity. With those elev- en bonds of $1,000 each paid, all ithe bonds of the state then out- standing will be the 34 per cent and the public debt will amount to only | $5,086,000. It is gratifying to know that this lentire idebtedness can be wiped cut by the close of the next administra- tion, without any increase of taxa- tion. Walling Convicted of Murder.

Five dead have been recov- | ered, and seventeen of the injured | rescued. The building came down with an |} awful crash and the structure was in | moment a mass of kindling wood. There were a large number of people in the building at the time. Two | laborers, Michael Howardand James | Daley, at work on the building, state | that the accident was caused by the fact that the jackecrews supporting the building were much higher on _tke north side than on the south. In _ front of the ruins, plainly visible lay jaman. Across his body was a large |beam. He cried piteouely for help. | After working half an hour the res- | cuers released him and he was taken to the receiving hospital. The mass of debris greatly retard- ed the work of the rescuers. To add | to the horror the debris caught fire jat the rear end and a volume of ;smoke blinded the rescuers. The | engines commenced to play a stream ‘on the fire This added a new hor- |ror, as the water threatened the lives of those under the debris. j Denver, Colo., June 19.—The na- tional Council, Junior Order United American Mechanics, now in session | here, has adopted a resolution de- | claring “that we deprecate the ten- dency of your national political par- ties to ask or concede to foreign countries, directly or indirectly, the right of shaping or defining the in- ternal policy of this nation, in any | manner whatsoever, or that national | Republican ticket are fit representa- ner.
