PLANS TO CAPTURE UTAH.

Will Make a Big Fight for the Two

Senators From the FutureState.

CHICAGO, It*., Aug. 14.—Twenty-twomembers of the executive committee ofthe Republican National Leatrne, assistedby alternates and proxies, assembled atthe Great Northern Hotel this morning,held two sessions and adjourned to October16, after accomplishing much work of in-terest to the party throughout the country.Thirty-seven States and Territories wererepresented, besides the College League ofRepublican clubs, and every Republicantalked enthusiastically of victory in theState and National elections.

The presiding officer was General E. A.McAlpin of New York, the president ofthe league, who has been busy lately asadjutant-general of the New YorkNationalGuard in the camp of instruction atCatskill. He has not been able to do muchpoliticalwork or traveling since the con-vention elected him, but the letters andreports he has received from his associatesin the States indicate a bright Republicanoutlook. He will sail for Europe nextSaturday, and on his return on October 5willbuckle on the harness until the nextPresident of the United States has beenelected.

When itwas decided to-day to organizea league in Arizonia General McAlpincon-tributed ?500 to help the committeemanfrom that Territory, George Christ, tocarry out the idea of the committee. Whenthe matter of the sinews of w«ir was beingdiscussed the Minnesota representativescontributed $10,000 on behalf of the Repub-licans of that State. The president, secre-tary and treasurer were named as a com-mittee on finance to raise all the moneypossible to carry on the campaign of edu-cation and organization.

There was a strong sentiment at theopening of the meeting in favor of movingthe headquarters from Chicago to NewYork or Washington, as the league has topay for its rooms there and there is an ap-parent indifference as to whether the head-qnaners are kept here or not. On behalfof the Republicans of the District of Colum-bia D. A. Ray of Washington offered thefree use of a suite of rooms at Wiilard'sHotel for a year, and the committee wason the verge of accepting the offer whenCongressman H.C. Brewster of New Yorkmade a plea for the metropolis. Then Den-ver and Milwaukee made a bid of freerooms, and the Illinois member, AlbertCampbell, entered the lists with a raisedbid of free quarters and $10,000 bonus jfgiven thirty days' time. The upshot of thematter was that the president, secretaryand Mr. Campbell were selected to receivethe offers formally, and the best one willbe accepted at the October meeting.

Ex-Congressman Aaron T. Bliss of Sagi-naw, Mich., was unanimously electedtreasurer of the league. Resolutions ofesteem and regret were adopted inmemoryof the late E. B. Harper of New York, whowas treasurer at the time the last conven-tion was held. The salary of the Secretary,M.J. Dowling of Minnesota, was fixed at$3600, beginning August 1. Ex-PresidentsThurston, Clarkson and Tracy and ex-Sec-retary Humphrey were made advisorymembers of the executive committee. Asa committee toireport to the October meet-ing on plans of league work during theNational campaign Messrs. Goodenow ofMinnesota, Powers of Michigan, Christ ofArizona and the president and secretarywere selected.

There was considerable discussion as tothe best method of organizing the leagueforcampaign work. The plan inoperationin lowa was described and the opinionwas that itcould not be improved upon asfar as practical results showed.

A call willbe issued in a few days fromheadquarters here to all the league clubsto organize and be ready for instructionsfrom the committee In October. Theleague willmake a bigfight in Utah at theapproaching statehood election, so as tosecure the two Senators for the party.Money, literature and speakers will besent there inabundance.

He and an Eng-lishman named Rolf left the Turkisn bathtogether to make a race. They made them-selves a suit of newspapers and were ar-rested by the San Francisco police. Theywere discharged, and their appearance ex-cited such comment that they were show-ered with contributions. They partedcompany in New Mexico. McDade walkedthrough State and Territory, getting certi-ficates from the Governors as to his pres-ence there. He was dressed in knicker-bockers, a black guernsey and red stock-ings before he had gone through manyStates, and he carried a small Americanflagon a staff.

McDade reached New York last. January,walked to Albany, and upon his returnBailed on the Majestic. His passage waspaid by sporting enthusiasts. He washelped by Americans inEngland and madehis way to the Continent. He visited Rus-sia and Siberia. He was at. the battle ofPort Arthur, where he sat behind a rockwith his American flag above him. Hewfent to Yokohama and from there toAfrica. He visited Nice and Monte Carlo

and got back to London. He wears abracelet presented to him by the PrincessBeatrice.

Mr. McDade has put his flag up over theColeman House. He has increased hisscanty wardrobe and now is the proud pos-sessor of five suits of clothes, seventeenshirts, nineteen white vests, four hats,three pair of shoes and a gold-headedcane.

UNIQUEMETHOD OF A SUICIDE.

COLUMBUS, Ky., Auk. 14.-J. H. Cook,known as "Professor," living about fivemiles northwest of here, talked freelyto his wife yesterday, telling her how hewanted to be disposed of when he shoulddie, but did not hint that he had any ex-pectation of taking his own life. Whenhis wife went to call him to his breakfastthis morning he was not to be found. Anote was found on a table bearing thesewords: "Lookin the water-hole."

Mrs. Cook then went to the place andfound him lying withhis head under waterwitha rope" tied around his neck and astone fastened to the other end.

RATS INVADE AN ISLANDInhabitants Compelled to Fly

Before an Army of Hungry

Rodents.

Many People Bitten and Every Ves-tige of Vegetation Destroyed

by the Invaders.

TITUSVILLE, Fla., Auij. 14.—The is-land of Tropic, twenty miles south of here,has been invaded by an army of savagerats, and the inhabitants have been forcedto flee for their lives.

Tropic is three miles long and two mileswide, and the soil is very fertile. A dozenfamilies have settled on the island and en-paged in growing vegetables for market.George Butler, one of the settlers, has justreached here, and tells a thrillingtale ofthe invasion and subjugation of Tropic bythe rats.

Up to a month ago, according to Butler,there were no rats on the island. Atthattime the advance guard of the rodents ar-rived, and were quickly followed by others,

until in two weeks there were fully 10,000on the island. The rats

'came from the

mainland, which is only two miles away,and Butler saya that they swam across.He says he has seen them coming out ofthe water by hundreds.

At first the rats contented themselveswith attacks on the vegetables, whichweresoon destroyed. Then they invaded thehomes of the settlers. The latter madewar on them, killing them by hundreds.Butler says that be has killed as many asa hundred without a stop, but that otherswould rush forward and attack him, bitinghim viciously on the legs.

In spite of the slaughter the rats got intothe houses and attacked the women andchildren. Several of the latter were badlytorn by the sharp fangs of the rodents.One baby was so severely bitten about theface that its life is despaired of. For threenights not a soul on the island slept, asthat would have meant death.

At last the people in terror and wornout fled in their boats to the mainland,where they are now encamped in a desti-tute condition. The rats pursued them tothe water's edge and the women and chil-dren were repeatedly bitten before theboats could be pushed off. Every vestigeof vegetation has been destroyed on theisland and itresembles a desert. The ratsare described as gray in color and mon-strous in size, being larger than squirrels.

Chief White'soffice was guarded by three policemen,who filled the doorway, and here againadmission was refused.

At9:45 a crowd of about 300 which hadbeen gathering from all sources enteredthe building and ascended to the secondfloor to the office of the superintendent ofthe building, which had been set apart forthe use of the new board. The crowd wasgood-natured, consisting mostly of sight-seers, and no friction or disturbance waswitnessed, though considerable laughterund sarcastic smiles were indulged in atthe presence of the silver-buttoned menguarding the chief's office.Itwas nearly 10:30 o'clock before Fire

BANKRUPT KANSASAS TOWNS.

Muahr»om Municipalities With a StartlingBonded Indebtedneaa.

WICHITA,Kaks., Aug.14.—The bondedindebtedness of several Western Kansattowns of mushroom growth is so largelyin excess of their present valuation thatthe obligations are scarcely worth thepaper upon which they are written. Thisis notably true of Greensburg, in WesternKansas, which in1885 boasted apopulationof nearly 8000 and now has less than 125inhabitants.

J. M.Davis of Greensbursr, an ex-Repre-sentative, is authority for the statementthat the bonded iudebtedness of this townaggregates $45,000, while there is not a centin the treasury available for its payment,nor any property of value on which theholders of the bonds may levy. Duringthe Greensburg boom bonds were issuedfor public improvements on an extrava-gant scale. Subsequently there was a con-tinued exodus on account of high taxesand unfavorable conditions, until the cityof five years ago is but a memory. Thecounty has sold everything for defaultedtaxes, and buildings have been torn downor moved away, leaving the bondholdersentirely out of the deal.

DEPART FROM FOOCHOWStart of the Investigating

Commission Sent toKucheng.

The Action of the American Repre-

sentatives Not Binding onThis Government.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 14.—Acablegram received at the State Depart-ment to-day from J. Courtney Hixon,United States Consul at Foochow, re-ports the departure from that place of themixed British and American commissionto investigate the Kucheng massacre. Mr.Hixon is a member of the commissionand is accompanied by Ensign WaldoEvans of the Detroit as the other Americanrepresentative.

The recognition of the joint commissionas an official body whose conclusions shallbe binding has not been accorded by theUnited States. Such authority conld notbe given by Minister Denby, but by theSecretary ot State or the President. Itissaid at the State Department that Mr.Denby has the entire matter in charge,and made all arrangements respecting thecommission without explicit directionsfrom acting Secretary McAdee as to howfar the commissioners willact conjointly.

The State Department has no knowledge,ami will leave it to the discretion of theAmerican representatives whetiier theywill join with the British officials in mak-ing the same report to both governments.As the conclusions reached, and the recom-mendations by the commission willnotbe binding by this Government, it is nota matter of concern whether the commis-sioners agree or not. Whatever they re-port, whether jointlyor separately, willnot interfere with negotiations betweenGreat Britain and the United States as towhat course shall be pursued if both nations think it desirable to make a jointprotest or demand. As matters stand atpresent, the Washington Government isfree to it as it pleases ;to proceed sepa-rately in relation to its overtures to theChinese Government or to act in concertwith Great Britain in the premises.

Consul Reed at Tientsin cabled the StateDepartment to-day that there was choleraat Tientsin and Cbefoo. This informationmay have a bearing on the Chinese trouble,because the United States flagship Balti-more has gone to Chefoo in order thatAdmiral CarpenWer may be in close tele-graphic communication with Minister.Denby. The Navy Department is exceed-ingly careful about allowing any naval ves-sel to remain at an unhealthy port, andthe Baltimore and the gunboat Muchias,which ia also at Chefoo, may be compelledto go elsewhere.
