There’s a size about our stock of

KANSAS REPUBLICANS.
Yesterday evening at about 8.30
o’clock, while a Mr. Buckwald, residing
at the southwest corner of Twenty-ninth
and avenue H, was bathing at the beach
at the foot of Twenty-eighth street in - . , —----.-----——
companv with his wife and ahdy friend announcing that a party of miners who
Mrs. Augusta Feld, and her two chil-
dren, residing on H, between Twenty-
eighth and Twenty-ninth, they were
assaulted by three negroes who came up
from the beach a little further below in
their bathing clothes.
One of the negroes attacked Mrs.
Buckwald, striking her in the face and
using threatening language, while the
other two laid their hands upon Mrs.
Feld, dragged her on the beach and
threw her to the ground.
Her cries brought Mr. Buckwald to
the scene, but despite his struggles he
was unable to free Mrs. Feld from the
grasp of her assailants. The children
were badly choked by the negro
who first committed the attack upon
Mrs. Buckwald and were threatened
with death if they did not remain quiet.
Mrs. Feld’s struggles and cries finally
attracted the attention of some men in
the neighborhood and, upon their ap-
proach, the negroes took the alarm and
fled, leaving no clue to their identity.
Mrs. Feld, when visited by a Tribune
reporter this morning, was suffering
intensely from the nervous shock brought
on by the assault. Her throat and face
bore evidence of the violent grasp and
inhuman treatment she received at
the hands of the negroes. She
scarcely could summon strength enough
to tell her story. Her two little daugh-
ters also showed signs of a bad beating
and rough handling.
Mrs. Buckwald was also roughly
handled, though in a measure she es-
caped the ordeal to which her friend,
Mrs. Feld, was subjected.
Last night a little after 11 o’clock in-
formation was received by the police de-
partment of the assault, and mounted
officers were immediately sent out to
arrest the parties supposed to be impli-
cated. Owing to the lateness of the
hour some difficulty was experienced in
ascertaining where the suspected men
lived, and after this was done none of
them were found at home.
One suspect was carried to the police
station early this morning and put
through a long series of questions, but
was released as innocent of any sus-
picious conduct or identity with the af-
fair.

EXPLANATION.
So much has been written, by those
ill-informed, on the subject of the
‘‘Equitable Co-ineurance and Contribu-
tion Clause,” that a concise explanation
of it is now in order—inasmuch as all
companies demand it: If your property
is, say, valued at $50,000, more or leas,
the insurance should be 90 per cent of
that amount. If you have a loss, the
amount that you will receive will always
be 90 per cent of the value of the prop-
erty destroyed. If you only carry 50
per cent insurance, you will, in event of
a loss, only receive 50 per cent of the
value of the property destroyed.

intensely bitter one.
■iAke ^e^8^at(?r0 say that if lotteries are
illegal, gambling in futures is equally
illegal, and that they will not make fish
of one and fowl of another. As a result,
members of the New Orleans exchange
are preparing for a fight to a finish.
It is said that lottery capital has ar-
ranged itself against the cotton men with
a fair prospect of shutting up the future
dealers.

Breeding Sentenced.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, June 3.
J. B. Breeding was indicted yesterday
by the grand jury on the charge of de-
frauding merchants through bogus
money-orders of the Wells-Fai^o Ex-
press company. He had selecte' J
Louis as the place from which to oper-
ate, but becoming suspicious before he
had begun to realize on his scheme, he — luuevug,
went to his home, in San Antonio, Tex., when the differential will be discussed,
and was there arrested.
When he was brought back here he
confessed that be had committed the
forgeries and threw himself on the mercy
of the court. He asked that he be ar-
raigned as soon as possible, and after his
indictment yesterday he was taken be-
fore Judge Edmonds and pleaded guilty
to the charge of forgery. Clemency had
been recommended in his case and he
was sentenced to three years and six
months in the penitentiary. His family
stands well in San Antonio. He is mar-,
ried and has a baby a year and a half
old. He is but 23 years old.
Stirring Up Trouble.
Waco News.
The insurance men who hatched the
co-insurance clause now engrafted upon
all policies in Texas have stirred up a
feeling that will cause the passage of a
vigorous law against such a contract.
This is not a threat, but a coldblooded
statement of a very evident fact.

Divide, Colo., June 6.—Fully 1000
deputies, under command of Sheriff
Bowers, left here at au early, hour this
morning to march to Cripple Creek.
There were 200 cavalry men under com-
mand of General Charles Adams. Chief
of Police Veatch of Denver, who has
been in charge of the deputies, did not
go with them.
Heavy firing has been heard since the
deputies left, and it is supnosed an en-
gagement has taken place between the
deputies and skirmishers from Bull Hill.
The newspaper correspondents were
all locked up until 6 o’clock and the
wires cut in order to prevent news from
being sent out.
A Battle Expected.
Cripple Creek, Col.. June 6.—A mes-
sage has been received from Bull Hill
London, June 6.—Lord Roseberv’s
horse, Ladas, wins the Derby, Match-
box second, Reminder third.
Ladas won in a canter by a length and
a half in 2.45 4-5. Six lengths separated
the second horse, Matchbox, from the
third, Reminder. Hornbeam was fourth.
A scene of indescribable enthusiasm fol-
lowed Ladas’ victory.
The destiny which Lord Roseberry
mapped out for himself when at college
has been fulfilled. Tie married the
richest girl in England, Miss
Hanna de Rothschild, he is prime
minister of England and he won the
derby today with his bay colt Lidas. It
is doubtful if so much interest has ever
before been taken in a derby. The
morning was dull and dreary, rain
threatening and fog predominating.

m’elroy & co.
The loss of the opening advance of 2-
61^ in Liverpool was thought to be due
to reports of increased acreage in Texas
and the present condition of the plant,
but later cables show that it was
the immediate result of the
failure of an old established house,
which, however, had not a very large
interest in the market. This house is
credited with having carried quite a
large amount of straddles be-
tween New York and Liverpool
and immediately upon the failure the
shorts had to be bought back in New
York, resulting in an advance there.
i The official weekly reports, however,
' were of such an unfavorable character
for the country from the Mississippi to
the Atlantic that the first gain on
this side has been maintained and Liver-
pool has recovered and closed firm at
the highest point of the day, 2-64 higher
[ than yesterday. Spot sales were 10,000
bales.
The improved chances of an early pas-
sage of the tariff bill, and the complaints
of the lack of rain through-
out the Atlantic states seem
■ likely to bring speculation into
cotton and the weather reports published
to-day are almost a sure indication of a
decidedly unfavorable bureau on Satur-
dav.
Spots here are quiet and unchanged,
with little doing. McElroy & Co.

Whitewinged peace flops over the
heretofore hostile camp of the Gulf and
Interstate railway people. The antago- -
nisms between the original Kansas com- po^h $140,000 proriy closely,
pany and the new Texas company are
being settled to-day. Mr. O. J. Jones,
representing the latter, has submitted a
proposition, which is accepted with
modifications. Shorn of minor details,
the compromise is as follows :
Mr. Jones submitted a proposition to
appoint five directors of the Texas com-
pany and four of the Kansas company,
excepting Stoddard, give Jones first
mortgage bond’s for $10,000 for grade,
right of way, etc., and one-fourth inter
est in town sites between Bolivar and
the Southern Pacific, until $10,000 is
realized, the route to be determined by
the new board, the Texas grading con-
tract to be turned over by Jones to the
new board.
The directors of the Kansas company
accept, as follows: Four directors for
each company, Stoddard excepted the
eight to agree upon a Texas man for the
ninth to issue to Jones $10,000 construc-
tion bonds.
To this proposition Jones replies, in-
sisting upon first mortgagerbonds or cash
and the ninth director to be Mr. Blum
or Mt-. DeNormandie.
When The Tribune went to press the
Kansas company was considering Mr.
Jones’ last proposition and agreed to its
terms except as to selecting the 9th
director.
The Southwestern Conference.
The Southwestern Traffic association
adopted a resolution referring the re-
vised agreement to the executive officers
for their early approval or disapproval,
providing further that until the new
agreement shall be made operative the
present articles shall govern, except that
the privilege of individual action upon
fifteen days’ notice is waived.
The new agreement, as proposed, is
practically the same as the present
agreement, but the 15 days’ notice of
individual action can only be exer-
cised by a vice president or superior
officer. Provision is also made in the
new agreement for an executive board,
in addition to the rate committee, the
same consisting of the executive officers
of the various parties to the agreement,
with the understanding that differ-
ences in the state committee shall be
referred to the executive body for de-
termination. Upon the failure of the
last named board to reach a unanimous
agreement members may take individual
action through the vicepresident or his
superior officer instead of, as heretofore,
in the rate committee.
It was learned to-day that at the meet-
ing of the Southwestern Traffic associa-

NOTICE.
Tho Farmers of North Texas Can Be
Accommodated Here.
The attention of Mr. John Reymers-
hoffer was called this morning to a dis-
patch from Dallas stating that the grain
and hay men of north Texas were look-
ing to Galveston as a possible point
from which to ship their products to
the West India island, and asked :f such
business could be handled at this port
to an advantage.
“This is something that will regulate
itself,” replied Mr. Reymershoffer, “and
no one can do much to facilitate matters.
