All the appropriation bills are . to be rushed through the house this week and sent over to the senate. The senntors are to hold lihera as a club over the house ntll It agrees to the reduction. Un fortunately for the projectors of the plan, the grangers have dropped on o the trick and will battle to a nnisn for the million dollars. We nre not going to be cheated out of a cent to the schools If not a cop per Is given to any oliher purpose, said Representative Si anor, secretary ox tno AcrlcuHure combine," yesieruay. One hundred end twenty-two mem bers of the house have signed a petl- ;on to Governor Hastings, asking him to save the money to the schools and every one of these representatives will stand ito their agreement. The grangers of the house held a meeting a few days ago and agreed to tight the matter to the last ditch. We nave our pians nu made. Mr. Merrick will lead the at tack. We are In favor of stuylng here until we win our light. Mr. Seanor Intimated that many ot the appropriations asked for by the charitable Institutions of the state ould be knocked omt by the grangers, KtiKiklnir for himself, he said he was opposed to the appropriation or $200, 000 to the Staite college and a like amount to the University of Pennsyl vania for dormitories. He Is also op- posed to an appropriation for the ex nenses of the commission from Penn sylvania to the Cotton States exposi tion at Atlanta next fall.

WAR CORRESPONDENT KILLED Tho Spanish Government Finds tho Insur gents Much Strongor Than Antici pated Tho American War Corre spondent Not Popular. Havana, May 22. The government claims to have absolute proof of the death of Marti, but Cubans here de clared that the body must be viewed by others than Spanish army officers be fore his Identity Is established. The American newspaper correspond ent who was reported killed In the Dos Rlos fight Is probably a young man named Woodward, who arrived ot San tiago about a month ago. He' repre sented the New York Morning Journal, and one or two other papers. He went Into tho Interior on 'May 6 to Join Ma- ceo, Gomez and Marti, woodward mis not been heard from since and in all probability met his death with Marti. Aside from the killing of Marti and the reversion nt Dos Rlos, Spain has ac complished very little toward putting down the rebellion with force of arms, and Martinez Campos has now decid ed to try diplomacy ns well. When he arrived In Cuba about nix weeks ago, he proclaimed war, vigorous, relent less war. No promlfe of righting wrongs was made, no hope of Insllliltlng re forms was held out. He has found the Insurrection far more iiorlous than he at first supposed, and he has now de rided to Institute reforms at an early day, with the hope of disarming the In surgents of the claim, which wins them both sympathy and support, that Spain refuses all reforms. Will light for Reforms. The effect will undoubtedly be marked nn Cubans who have been teetering on the fence for two months they will fall on the government side; but thowe who are already In arms at the eastern end of the Island, will not stop fighting for the trifling reforms that are prom ised. They say that If It Is only by fighting that they can wring reforms from Spain, they will keep up the strife until they wrest Independence riom ner. Even If complete autonomy were offered now. It Is a question whether tne men n arms would stop fighting. The loss of Marti Is a serious blow to them, but Is Intensifies their hatred of the hpan- nrds. and they will fight to avenge Martl's death. In this city many Cu bans say they will go out If the re bellion comes this way. At present they do nothing but talk. At the east ern end of the Island matters are dif ferent. The entire province of Santi ago, with the exception of the fortified towns Is In arms. Insurgents who numbered 3.000 when Campos landed, now number 8,000. They are constantly gaining recruits. Martinez Camnos has no use for the American correspondent. He has muz zled the Spanish and Cuban press and would muzzle that of the United States If ho could. His recent order to shoot down any correspondent who crosses to the insurgents' line and attempts to return was aimed at the American cor respondents. The censorship of tele graphs and cables has not prevented them from sending the truth to tho United States as to the progress of the insurrection, and the American papers have been brought here by the thous and and read, with great interest In the homes and clubs of Cubans. But as the Spanish army operates without establishing sentinel lines, and even the Insurgents scouts pass and re pass without difficulty the correspond ents will probably vlnlt the Interior whenever occasion requires it. KENTUCKY VENGEANCE. Gcorgo 1). Montgomery Kills Archhold Kllcy. Versailles, Ky., May 26. At noon to day the steps of Troy Presbyterian church, seven miles south of here, were converted In a dueling ground, ueorge B. Montgomery killing his brother-in-law, Archibald Riley, amd being himself mortally wounded by Riley. The mur der was the culmination of a Sensation that unset high society In the Blue Grass section three years ago, when It Is said Riley seduced Montgomery's sister and fled to Mississippi. He was brought back, and at Ithe point, of a pis tol forced to marry tho girl. He im mediately deserted her and did not re turn to these parts until recently. Both men attended church today. There was a largo congregation present, Neither man smw the other till after the services, when they met face to face on, the steps. Both began firing at omce and did not stop till one was dead and the other dying. Tho congregation became panic stricken at once, and the wildest con fusion resulted. Scores of ladles fainted and several were badly trampled In the stampede. The entire thing was done so auickly that no one thought of Inter fering. Both men were astoundlngly cool and deliberate. Neither Is thought to have said a word before firing, nor to have made the slightest attempt to shield himself from the other s bul lets. After firing tho last shot, Montgrom- ery turned to the bystanders and said "Gentlemen, I hated to do this; but was compelled to. My conscience Is now easy. Riley was 30 years of age.
