BOER WAR A LOVE CARESS To the Conflict When the Black Hordes Strike the Weakened and Discredited British. Chicago, Dae. 20. "The greatest prob lem that England will have to face In South Africa," said Dr. A. C. Hammett, who today returned from Mashonaland, 5n Rhodesia, northward from the Trans vaal, "will in all probability be that of the natives, and not of the Boers. Even if the Boers are suppressed and English supremacy established in a very short time, the natives will still be left to deal with. They are not causing any trouble just now, but ther are many signs that ithey will put England in a very different pt sition at no distant day. Traders who come in from the north think now that after the difficulties between the whites have been settled the conquerors will find a big native problem on their hands and that the blacks will have to be con quered all over again. Almost all of the r Itish and American subjects in Ma sl.onaland 'have been compelled to take refuge in kraals, or fortified camps, as a direct result of the war. The natives V ar them much more than they fear the Boers In that region, and expect at al rr -st any time to see the massacres of 3- 3-4 repeated, and the natives may make use of the opportunity afforded by the concentration of British forces in dpe Colony and Natal for a general up r. ing." Dr. Hammett spent three and a half n.onfhs at the mission school settlement e.tiblished by his uncle, Bishop Hartzel, r the Methodist church, at "Old Umbali," f r up in Mashonaland. He went there organize a hospital, but he reports that neither the hospital nor the school v rk was advanced as far this year as Lid bcen hoped, because tho British made the conditions too uncertain and i tnsi'miis to warrant any further in--stments. For that reason he, with shop Hartzell and many of the work came early, leaving only enough Americans to continue the work already opened up. "The missionaries and teachers who are in dangf-r at Old Umbali." said Dr. Ham-r--n, 'are Morris W. Thines and wife, of Haj sville, Ohio; J. Dewitt and wife, of Delaware, Ohio, and Hunter W. Reed, Hfmm Hinkle and Mrs. Arendt, of New 1-irk. They have been compelled to go lntj a kraal for safety." O-Hi; CANADIANS KICKING V w York. Dec. 21.

Dec i)-The office? of the Orange Free State consulate are visited eery day by a large number of men who w "it to go to the Transvaal and join the 1" er army. By Charles D. Pierce, the ul uf the Free State, they are re 1 cl to Dr. Henrik Muller. the Oranee r t r Stae minister at The Hague. Be ring for Holland, however, many i -isit George W. Van Siclen at his .1 Broadway. Most of the men r v to Mr. Pierce, to judge by ap- aro roush men. with little or "v, belonging to the laboring r. i v c'as- But there are not a few that are edjcated and nave some mlHtary experi- ence. Mr. Pierce said frankly that he was referring these men to Dr. Mullen, who, he added, saw that they arrived in the Transvaal. When asked how it was possible to get the men into the Trans vaal at the present time he said that they were taken into the country by way of Delagoa Bay. THE SIDE THAT SHOOTS STKAIGHTEST Asked what he thought about the way things were going In South Africa, Mr. Pierce said: "The British can send 1.S0O, 000 troops down there Instead of 180,000, if they want to," he said, "and still they won't get the upper hand for a year or two. It is not the side with the mast troops that is going to win, but the side that shoots straightest" Some of the men who came to see Mr. Pierce today asked whether It would be necessary for them to go in disguise. Mr. Pierce replied that It would not Mr. Pierce was asked whop aid the ex penses of tho men to The Hague. "They pay their own expenses," he said. "Somebody in the city, though is furnishing them with money to get to the Transvaal. I don't know who it is. I don't know whether it Is a society or an individual." "How many men have been hero so far?" Mr. Pierce was asked. "I can't say," he replied. "Hundreds of them Dozens of them come in here every day. A good many of them are Boers. Some are Hollanders and Scan danavians. Thero have been a great many Germans who have served as offi cers in the German war. I receive a great many wttcr? a".r from peop'e wi want to go to the war, a great many from surgeons who offer their services, and I get letters every day from people who nave some wonderful invention by which they say they can blow up the whole British navy." At Mr. Van Slclen's office were found a number of the same men who had been seen at the office of the Free State con sulate. To Mr. Van Siclen the following questions were propounded: "How do these men get to the Trans vaal? Do you refer them to Dr. Muller at Tho Hague? "Why do them come to you?" To each of these questions Mr. Van Siclen replied: "I refuse to answer." After a moment's thought, however, he said further: "I suppose they come to me because they know I am n American friend of the Boers and have influential connections. I am also a friend of Eng land. I do not want to see her ruined. England ought to arbitrate. BuBt they say she will lose her prestige. She has lost that already. Kxuger will arbitrate, not because he is victorious, but becausa he Is a reasonable man." Chicago, Dec. 20. Peter Van Schaack, ex-presldent of the Holland society, of Chicago, said today that he knows of forty-eight men who are going from this city to join the Boer forces In the field and that he expects the movement to grow Into an exodus of Dutch, sympa thizers from New Tork and other ports to South Africa. He said: "The pro Boer movement in this country has some big men behind it, such men as Mayor Van Wyck and Robert Roosevelt of Now Ymk. Of course Mayor Van "Wyck is compelled to work carefully, because of his official position, but he is neverthe less active." CAPE DUTCH DISIXIYAE.TY London.v,p,eo. 20. A, Cape "Town dis patch, dated SaturdayT December 15, says "Five hundred colonists of the Victoria West district have perfected an appar ently anti-British organization thero. and as Individuals have openly expressed dis loyalty and have threatened to attack the railroad station, which is on the direct lino between Cape Town and De Aar. The Afrikanderbundltes, at a meeting ithcro passed a resolution asserting that tho troops in the vicinity irritate the farmers dangerously. The meeting pro claimed its loyalty, but declared that the conduct of the troops forced the people to use expressions and commit acts which were capable of being Interpreted as disloyal. BUYCi: ATTACKS CHA3IHKRX.AIN' Aiberdecn, Dec 20. James Bryce, M. P., in a speech here today, severely attack ed Mr. Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies, and denounced his "methods, manner and whole con duct." and said he hoped it would not be much longer possible for him to "do his best to excite hostile feeling in Germany and alienate and throw back and do all possible injury to the closest understand ing between us and the United States." BOEK STAND AT STOIOIBEKG London, Dec. 20. The Daily News has the following dispatch from Cape Town, dated Saturday, December 16: "The Boers intend to make a big stand at Storm berg and are massing a great force at tho abandoned British camp. One com mando of 2,000 consists chiefly of rebel Dutch." BjOEKS WONT ASK TOO HAKD TERMS London. Dec. 21.

There is no news this morning to enlighten the general situation. The war office has re ported that General French reeonnoiter ed northward of Arunifel Monday. De cember IS. After shelling Jasfontein farm, three miles eastward of the Boer position, the New Zealanders advanced and occupied the farm. The Boer guns then opened ami the Boers advanced to the attack, so General French ordered a retirement A BOJinSHELLrOR rOSTMAX The latest news from Mafeking. dated December 6, has just been received. It says a desultory bombardment was con tinuing and that the sharpshooters were engaged in a smart duel mornings and evenings. The dispatch also describes a novel method of sending message, adopted by some Boer, December 4. A five-pounder shell fired into the town that day did not explode. It was open ed and found to contain a letter, as fol lows: "Dear Powell (Colonel Baden-Powell) Excuse iron messenger. No other means of communicating. Please tell Mrs. mother and family all welL Don't drink all the whisky. Leave some for us when wo get in." The sender's signature was torn off. rOK TOMMY ATKINS TOLKS Chicago, Dec 2. President Scull, of tho British-American league of the Chi cago board of trade, today cabled $5,000 to the chairman of the Soldiers' Relief Committee in London, the money to be usmi for the relief of -families of British soMlers killed in the South African war. Of the Boer War Situation Chronically "Acute"., NOT A WORD 0PMETHUEN Since Saturday Canadian Gpposers of the War, London, Dec. 21 (4:45 a, m.). The grav ity of the military situation is again be coming acute in the public mind, owing to tho absence of news. Nothing has been heard from Lord Methuen since Saturday and it Is feared that his communications have been cut If this be so his position is dangerous. A correspondent of the Dally News, telegraphing from Modder River last Sunday, says: "The Boer posi tion, already formidable on December 11, has since been greatly strengthened, ex tending for an area of twelve miles. It is entrenched according to the most mod ern methods throughout its entire length. Wire fences have been placed before all the trenches at every point, guns have been got into position, and there is every evidenoe that the Boers are well supplied with ammunition. Only a. powerful at tacking force can hope to make a suc cessful assault." The Times, in an article from the pen of a military expert, laments the dis persion of the British forces, quotes the maxim of Napoleon for concentration, and regrets that Lord Methuen did not retire to Orange river a week ago. The latest dispatches received seem to show that the British forces are stand ing on the defensive at all points, Gen eral Buller ordering all the troops now arriving at Cape Town to proceed to Durban to reinforce the Natal column. Absence of news from him has led to a surmise that he is trying to join Gen eral White by a flank movement The appeals for yeomanry and volun teers are being responded to with the greatest enthusiasm in all parts of the country. Lord Wolseley proposes that tho force being raised by the lord mayor of London be called the "City of London Imperial Volunteers." The government's total of yeomanry and volunteers, to reach 8,000, Baron Chesham will com mand, with Lord Lonsdale as adjutauit general. The papers are now generally joining in free criticism of the government and the war office, as day by day fresh proofs of unpreparedness come to light Special stress is laid upon the failure to pro vide proper troops, which compels the columns to stick tight to railways, and upon the inferiority of the British artil lery The Australian colonies are responding eagerly to the imperial government's ap peals for second contingents. It Is said that tho queen will abandon her propos ed vi3it to Italy during the war. One of the results of the coal famjne In the Sheffield district, immediately ris ing out of the war, is that several im portant steel firms are not able to get coal even from their own collieries a few miles distant They will sue the railway companies for non-delivery of coal. One of the big armor-plate works has shut down partially. THE RRITISn VOI.UNT EER London, Dec 20. At a meeting of the corporation today, the lord mayor, A. J. Newton, announced that 25,000 had been subscribed by the large city firms which are contributing the money to defray the necessary expenses of a iforce of a -thousand volunteers among the city corps. The lord mayor also said that General Lord Wolseley, tho commander-in-chief, had accepted the offer of the services of tne volunteers. Lord Rothschild has given 5,000 of this amount and Charles Wilson, the Hull ship owner, has promis ed a fully equipped vessel, which Is equivalent to a gift of 15.000, to trans port the volunteers. The corporation passed a resolution to confer the freedom of the city on each member of the corps. London, Dec 20. It is reported that the Duke of Connaught may succeed Lord Roberts as chief in command of the Irish troops. London, Dec. 20. Aff. J. Balfour, in his unofficial capacity, has written to the Earl of Haddington dwelling upon the importance of the movement to raise yoe manry and volunteer forces for South Africa. He suggests and offers to assist, a public fund to augment the necessarily limited allowance made to the men by the srovernment for equipment THE COLONIAL CONTINGENT Ottawa, Ont, Dec 20. An official state ment was given out tonight by Dr. Bor den, of the militia, as to the strength and composition of the second Canadian contingent for South Africa, now bein? formed. The strength of the contins'nt will be 1.W4. There will -be three squad ron, of mounted rifles, numbering in all "31. One-half of this .lumber will be taken from the Northwest mounted poUoe and the other half recruited from the cavalry corps of the country. In addi tion to this there will be three field batteries, selected from the batteries in Canada. They will comprise in all 513 officers and men. A cable dispatch re ceived from Secretary Chamberlain, says that the otlicers need not be members of regularly drilled forces, but must be good shots and rough rider. The Dominion government has chartered the Allan line steamers Parisian and Laurentian to carrj the second Canadian contingent with :helr horses and guns from Halifax to Cane Town. BRITISH KKCKCrrSIN GERMANY BBeriin. Dec. 29. Despite repeated British denials, it seems to be a fact that British agents are bosy in many of tho rural districts of Germany, hiriavsr vet erans for service In South Africa. Sev eral well authenticated casee havo bac reported this week, bat the following in cident seems conctssfre: Tne district court of Hamburg has just isud an or der for the arrest of a British agent named York f-xr hiring a. number of Ger man peasants in the Qefcbbornood for military serviee. whfen, mwIot tho fc perlal laws.

Revised lists Vf the British casualties at the battle 'of Co lenso show that 137 non-commdssioned officers and men were killed. BOERS CANT GET TO THOSE GUNS It still seems doubtful whether the guns that General Buller abandoned at Colenso are in the possession of the Boers. According to a dispatch to the Associated Press from Durban, sent off on the evening of the battle and which has just been received here, the guns re mained where they were left by the Brit ish troops and were covered by the heavy guns of General Hlldyard's bri gade, occupying an entrenched position. The dispatch adds that the Boers have not thus far attempted to cross the river and carry off the guns, while advices to the Associated Press from Pretoria un der the same date says that an official Boer dispatch reports that two guns, thirteen wagons and a quantity of am munition were captured, besides 20S pris oners. INTELLIGENCE "DEPARTMENT WEAK Further accounts of the Tugela river battle emphasize the ignorance of the British intelligence department in regard to the disposition of the Boer forces. The British were not aware that the Boera were entrenched along a series of low lying hills, immediately northward of Colenso bridge, until a staggering fire compelled them to retreat when the at tack seemed about to succeed. The Boers were also in greater strength than antici pated. BRITISH GUNS OUT-RANGED It becomes clearer, also, that the Brit-, lsh guns were lost In attempting to get within effective range of the Boer artil lery, showing that the latter out-ranged the British ordnance, which, In spite cf numerical superiority, was wholly inad equate to reply to the long-range Boer guns. The British war office comes In for scathing denunciations from the Times today, for not providing effective artillery. It is pointed out, in this con nection, that the long-ranged naval guns, participating in the same attack, es caped. GOOD FOR BULLER, ir ONLY TRUE London, Dec 20. Aspeclal dispatch from Durban, Natal, dated Saturday, De cember 10, says it is rumored that Gen eral Buller called for volunteers to re cover the abandoned guns and that a party issued from the camp after mid night and brought in the guns, which were uninjured PLENTY OF MULES LEFT YET St Louis, Mo., Dec. 20. Captains-S. M. Smith and James Marsham haveiCome tp St Louis to purchase an additional num ber of mules for pack and draft, service with the British army in South Africa, They expect to buy 1,000 or more ani mals in this market. The supply of mules here is ample to meet the demands of the British army agents. FEDERATION CONVENTION ENDS .Longest in Its History Jt Steers Clear of Politic j. Detroit, Mich., Dec 20. The longest convention of the American Federation of Labor ever held ended today. During the nine days that the delegates were in ses eion declarations were adopted concern ing a great variety of questions of more or less public import, but for, the first time in many years no proposition was made or taken even remotely connected with the money question or other pending political issue Among the closing terms of business transacted were the adoption of resolutions appealing to congress to submit to state legislatures a sixteenth constitutional amendment to prohibit dis franchisement of citizens on account of their sex, and directing President Gom pers to correspond with the trades unions of the central European countries with a view of bringing about fraternal rela tions. The Federation unanimously re-elected all its old officers. The only contests occurred In the selection of fraternal delegates to the foreign trade congresses. The elections resulted as follows: Presi dent Samuel Gompers, Washington; vice presidents. P. J. McGuire of Philadelphia, James Duncan of Boston. James O'Con nell of Washington, John Mitchell of Indianapolis. Max Morris of Denver and Thomas I. Kidd of Chicago; secretary, Frank Morrison of Washington: treasur er, John B.

Pearce of Indianapolis, secre tary of the United Mine Workers; fra ternal delegates to Canada Trades con 'gress, W. D. Mahon of Detroit president of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes. The convention made formal requests that all trades unions nereafter must clearly define the work of their respective crafts. Action was taken warning the Building Trades Council to not oversfp their legal functions by assuming gen eral jurisdiction of trades unions or issu ing charters for organization of national trades unions. A resolution was adopted commending President Gompers service and granting him leave of absence from: duty, with pay, until he shall have fully recovered from his recent tajury- Louisville.

This afternoon a resolution was adVpt- ed to the effect that any product of labor J represented to be union-made shall not oe so considered unless it bears the union label. Toe committee on Is bete and boy cotts reported in favor of dropping tha name of all concerns now on tho unfair list which list had grown to unnej sarily large proportions on account of retaining so many old names thereon.

Of the Governed Mr. Hoar Steadily Insists On. HE OFFERS RESOLUTIONS Mr. Bacon Has the Habit eradicably Fixed. In- Washington, Dec. 20. In the final ses sion of the senate today, before the hol iday recess, Mr. Pettlgrew of South Da kota, in a characteristically Incisive speech, demanded to know whether it was to be the policy of the representatives of the administration to suppress proper facts and news when called for by a sen ator. He said he believed an effort was being made to prevent the testimony taken by the war investigating committee from being sent to the seDate and de clared his purpose of not submitting to the suppression of information to which the people, in his opinion, were entitled. Taking Major General Brooke's farewell proclamation to the people of Cuba as a text, Mr. Hale of Maine briefly congrat ulated the general upon his work he had accomplished in Cuba and said he could now see the dawn of the time when the Cuban people would be independent. Mr. Morgan of Alabama offered an amend ment to Mr. Bacon's resolution guaran teeing to the people of Porto Rico, Ha waii and the Philippines a republican gov ernment and Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts introduced a resolution declaring how the people of the island possessions of the United States should be governed. The presiding officer laid before the sen ate a communication from the regents of the Smithsonian Institution, suggesting, in the form of a joint resolution, the appointment of Former Secretary of State Richard Olney, to fill the vacancy on the heard of regents caused by the death of Dr. William Preston Johnson of Louisi ana. Mr. Hoar (Mass.), thought this a most unusual proceeding. He said it would be as proper for justices of the supreme court to suggest to the president who should fill a vacancy on the bench. The resolution was left on the table. Mr. Hale (Maine), had read from the clerk's desk .the proclamation Issued by General Brooke in Havana on turning over the civil government of Cuba to his successor, General Leonard Wood. "This proclamation," said he, "must arrest the attention of the senate committee on Cuban affairs, and of the country. It is a most remarkable statement of the pro gress that has been made in Cuba. If General Brooke is right, peace and order practically have been restored on the Island, and the people will be ready at an early date to enter upon a govern ment of their own. General Brooke is to be congratulated upon having accom plished a vast work. It is much greater than I had supposed. I see the dawn. when the Cuban people will be able to set up a government of their own. Gen eral Brooke, having been displaced, will soon come north, and when he arrives wjll receive our congratulations upon his reat work." The matter was referred to the com mittee on relations with Cuba, Mr. Harris (Kansas), announced his withdrawal from the committee on agri culture. Thereupon Mr. Cockrill (Mo.), presented a resolution tilling; the vacan cies on the committees on agriculture, claims, forest reservations, Interstate commerce, Philippines and pensions, by the appointment of Mr. Allen, fXeb.) The resolution was adopted. A joint resolution reported by Mr. Lodge from the committee on foreign re lations authorizing X. M. Brooke, super intendent of mails, to accept decorations from Liberia and Bolivia, was adopted. Mr. Morgan of Alabama proposed an amendment to Mr. Bacon's Joint reso lution guaranteeing to the people of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines a republican form of government, and protection against invasion. It was not referred. Following Is the full text of the substitute: "That In pursuance of section 4, article 4. of the constitution, the United States will guarantee to the po ple of Porto Rico and the Pacific islands and all other states and peoples within its sovereign Jurisdiction and control a republican form of government and will protect them against Invasion." Mr. Butler of North Carolina proposed an amendment to th constitution provid ing that the chif justices of the Unlfd States and United States judges shall be elected by the people. It was referred tn th judlctarv committ. Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts introductd the following resolution, which, at his request, was left on th table: "Whereas, The American people and the various states of the union have in times past at important times in their history, especially when declaring tkeiz Independence and forming their constitu tions or on undertaking new and great responsibilities, seen at to declare the purposes for which the nation or state was founded, and the important objects the people lntendd to pursse in tbote political action: and, "Whereas.

(Special Correspondent to the Eagle, Washington, Dec. 20.-Delegate Flynn has introduced a bill in the house to pro vide for five registers of deeds; one for 'each of the five civilized tribes. This bill has justice in It, besides creating places for deserving men. and wril not increase the expenses connected with this work. As it is now. the clerks of the court are ex-offlcio registers of deeds, and It is re puted that some of them make as high as $30,000 to $40,000 per year out of it. air. Flvnn contends that this is aii He ays that some good man might as well have the place of register, and it will still leave the clerk of the court a good thing. In other words, it will divide up what is now too much' of a good thing. The cost to the government will not be increase for the reason that the new offices would be on the fee basis, and their expenses, as well as eemoluments. would come from the receipts of the offices. Mr. Flynn will push the measure, and be lieves it will become a law. Mr. Fljnn will also try to have the Quapaw agency created a county of Oklahoma. This is in the northeastern part of the Indian Territory nd. is connected with Oklaho ma, through Oklahoma City, by the Frisco road It -will make a valuable acquisition to Oklahoma, whether the latter becomes a state or not. r-nrKman Bailey of Kansas, who represents the state at large, has intro duced a meritorious measure in the house. It provides that the revenue tax on banks of and $10,000 capital bhall be pro portionate with those of greater capi tal; for instance, banks having a capital of $25,50 or over. As it is now, each bank is required to pay a revenue tax-. under the war revenue act. of $50. where the capitalisation is below $25,000, and $2 per thousand where the capital is in ex cess of $35,000. This is a discrimination against the small banks. Mr. Bailey says. and he wants it righted by legislation. Speaking of the matter. Mr. Bailey say: -In Kansas we have any number of small banks, of $5,000 and $10,000 capital, which were organized in small towns purely as enterprises; not as investments. It is un fair that they should be required to pay greater tux in proportion than the purely investment institutions, and I mean to try to see that the thing is equalized. I be Heve it can be done, and it should be done." Former Governor Renirowf q Oklahoma Is in Ae city. Ho is accompanied by ili. Renfrew.

City Times-Journal says: August Bent-1 ley of the KickaDOos has discovered oft incentive that fires the Indian ambition to toil. They will pick cotton, chop cot tonwood, hoe and huk corn, or perform any other kind of manual labor to se cure money. About TOO of the KickapoOs several years ago moved to New Mexico, and whenever one of the Oklahoma band can raise the money he. visits his breth ren in Mexico. The rule now is to allow sixteen of the tribe to visit the Mexican brethren each year. So anxious are thejy to go that they begin to lay up funds two years in advance. As soon as the Indian gets a dollar he puts It in the hands of the agent to hold for him until the amount is sufficient to pay his wav to Mexico and return. In order to raise the money the Indians will pick c6tton. chop cordwood or carefully tend a little farm. The agent insists that no one shall go on this trip who has not actually earned the funds. No wonder the Indian is anxious to make the trip. They go -well Into Mexico by rail and then make an over land trip of 130 miles.

Guthrie, O. T., Dec, 20. Since 'the set tlement of the district attorneyship the principal matter of conjecture now is Mr. Scothorn'3 status as an official. As will f be remembered, Mr. was first assistant when Mr. Overstreet died. Acting under the law which authorized them to make an ad interim appointment when a va cancy occurs in the oilice of United States attorney, the supree court of the territory named Mr. Scothorn to fill the place until the president should make a permanent appointment. This left a va cancy in the force of assistants which was filled by the advancement of Second Assistant B. S. McGuin to the post of first assistant, and the naming of X.. M. Keys Of Oklahoma City as second assist ant. These two latter appointments were made from "Washington. The ques tion now is, will Mr. Scothorn be given his old place in view of his failure to secure the chief office, or will he be out entirely? Mr. Scothorn, himself, declares that he will not make application to be reinstated. However this may be, his friends insist that it d oelotnosseltaoln friends insist that it does not look rea sonable nor just that a painstaking, effi cient and able official should bo sacri ficed because, forsooth, he possessed a laudable ambition to secure an office in the natural line of promotion. DURING SPEED'S PBEV10USTEBM Ite.Recaine a Tci ror to the Sooners of the I'crjurerSort. Guthrie, O. T.. Dec. 20. Horace Speed, who succeeds to the office of United States attorney, was the first to fill that iportant office when a regular govern ment was established in Oklahoma, re ceiving his appointment from President Harrison, in whose office In Indianapolis he studied law. It was the period of "scor.erism," when perjury in land con tents was so commonly aracticed that it seemei pc- r-le for an honest man to get justice. The organized gangs of pro fessional "sooners" and perjurers were apparently in full control of the situation when Mr. Speed assumed his oince ana it was against this class of violators that he first turned his attention as a prose cutor, and so relentlessly did he nursue them that perjury as a profession ceased to flourish in Oklahoma. Time and again was his life threatened, but undeterred by th -e influences the young district attor ney continued his warfare against the perjurers "until a score or more of the leaders were sent to the penitentiary and the organized gangs broken vp. It was in appreciation of his services in this connection and- the able conduct of his office otherwise, that Mr. Speed was per mitted to serve ou the full term for which he -was appointed, which continued for more than a year under the Cleve land administration. ?.Ir. Speed's most recent appearance in a public capacity was as special prosecu tor in the Seminole Indian burning cases,, which were recently tried at Muskogee, in the Indian Territory, ior wmuu u vlces he is reported to have received a fee of $10,000.

TOP PRICE WAS $3,95 Wichita Market Led All Other Western Ones. "Wichita yesterday asraln demonstrated te superiority of its hog market over any in the west. The prices paid were s. gh, the market was active and the de jrard exceedlnsly strong. A higher price was paid for hogs than in. any other western market, when ire ght rates and other expenses were ta li i Into consideration. The supply was c -y moderate and had the yards been -ed with hogs they would have been e -apped u-p at the same strong prices. Tne markeoopened wean. The demand, I- we er, was so great that the price soon -iftened, and when the day closed it was 5; hlgner than tne day before. The bld-c.ng- for -hogs was sharp and the ship pers did not have to worry whether or r. they could dispose of their hogs. Chicago reported the market as being ETjng. Kansas City reported it was string, but the day's sales Indicated that It was a shade lower. St. Louis sent out t3 rewrt that the market was barely Etadj. In strong contrast was the "tt J. hita market, which closed firm and s rong and 5c higher. The demand of the Wichita market is -.-a that an unlimited quantity of hogs can De taken here and such prices paid that it would be nothing less than folly IjT a shipper to market his hogs else ftare The bujers aree that enough "a gs cannot come to the Wichita mar ket to glut it or cause the price to drop.

Every day shipments come i :ri)Di new sections and the shippers r t-rr. pieased with the market and the Llra profit made by selling their hogs this point. The quality of the hogs offered yester -j. was fair. There were a few poor l aches and also several cars of esceed t -.j good hogs. The run was. on the whale, an average one. In many in E'nces the hogs had hardly been yarded te'ore tney had been sod at a figure V !ch was very gratifying to the ship per. REPRESENTATIVE SALES. Dock. Av. Wt. Price.

WOOL 3URKEX, Boston, Dec. 20. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: "The tightness in the money market has cut short the demand for wool and as a result the wool market has been almost lifeless during the past week. This is a time of the year, however, when a quiet business is always expected, it being a holiday and stock-taking period. The tight money market could not have come at a better time for the wool trade, as their obligations matured last November. Their wool has been largely sold and turned into cash and the members of the trade are not borowers today. The de mand for wool is running more to the coarser grades. Fine wools have reached such a point that manufacturers are try ing more and more to substitute medium wools for them. Sales of tne past week have been made at the top prices of the year T6 sales of the week in Boston amounted to 2,!,000 pounds domestic and 425 i".) pounds foreign, making a total of 3,3t.. OGQ pounds, against a total of 6.664.COO pounds for the previous week, and a to tal of 6,624.000 pounds for the correspond ing week last year.

Dec The stock market George H FBat and A.

It cannot be said that this violent decline was viewed with taMfierence, for it ef fectually checked Urn ?dvaac!n tendency in the general market and worked a re action extending to over two points in a number of standard railroad stocks and of several points in some of tae industrials. Thanks to the earlier rise in the market. however, and tne rry U-V wzg slamp. net icsm in ras a.-f satal' I and subSiaatial net gair.s a-e bowa br I important stocks. Th- b-eiS. in Brook- lyn Transit was attrfbutec ta tbe forced j BtrcbsfUioD of a larsje laterast coocera- j lay which rrrarry cafavorsae rsaiors of I Monday were revived In full force and exaggerated by the Dears with a view to breaking the market. At this time last year, after a notable advance, the stock sold at about 72 and by Aprilof this year it touched the high level at 157 without ever having- paid a dividend. In the demoralisation which followed the sudden death of ex-Governor Flower, the organized efforts to support and save the market converged upon this stock and kept it above par. Its vicissitudes since then have been many and various, and transactions in it alone have gone to make up the bulk of trade in the stock exchange on many days. There have been single weeks when the total transactions in this stock exceeded several-fold its total capital Issue and it has been the favorite of the highly speculative class who delight in manipulation and mystery. Previous to this week its low-price for this year had been 754. On Monday it touched 65 In the general demoraliza tion. Today it touched 61 and rebounded 6. This review of the course of a single stock is fertile In instruction for the whole series of events in this week's market. During the day, when Brooklyn Transit was showing most acute weakness, the rate for call money was 4 per cent and was in plentiful supply. The rate at no time rose above 9 per cent and in the late dealings fell to 2 per cent, or yes terday's low level.

The af fairs of man being largely, if not wHolly, self-regulating, are reciprocally compensating. Any violation of equitable rules, customs or laws by the self-same act provides the penalty. The question is, -svill not the Trust abuse furnish its own cure and defeat? It now looks like it. Wall street's present fit of bellyache is of its own contracting. Wall fltreet speculators, its bull and bear gamblers, and their jiartners in capitalized crime, the bankers and brokers, con cerned, combined to beat the industries of America out of untold millions, in doing which they bit off more than they tan chew. The stomach of Wall street is overloaded with an indigestible provender whjch it can't assimilate, and the consequent agony proves anything but funny. The thousand and one smaller and greater industries of the country having been combined in Trusts, and capitalized Jar beyond their dividend earning capacity, the stocks or chares were turned over to banks that were willing to ac cept them at half their face value as securities for borrowed anoney. These stocks not being worth half for what they nvere accepted, taken together with McKinley's warning ihat Trusts must be regulated, and the result is a simul taneous effort to realize on these security holdings. Hence 'rthe panic and hence the growing distrust of Trusts. After vl, attempted governmental control may not be demanded or necessary. The Trust promoter is becoming discouraged, and Xew Jersey may abandon the chartering of corpora tion combines "as both disreputable and unprofitable. A monopoly which cannot be handled with a profit logically (gives up the ghost. One of the Greatest of the War. The loss of General Lawton by death from a Tagal bullet will intensify the activity of the opposition to ex pansion. Lawton's loss is a grievous one, not that his life was of more value to himself or to his relatives than the lives, respectively, of the many brave fellows who have pone to their death in the tropical jungles of Luzon were Ko those near and dear to them. But Lawton was an ex it optionally brave, pure and able officer of high rank, and Oils death will politically count for more than the fall of .the average hero of the line. General Lawton had fought Jaalf the world around. He was a hero in the ranks during the Rebellion. Of his more recent record his countrymen lnow, and in knowing and In honoring, the more regret that he should have been shot, assassin-like, by a sharp Fhootor. He had just made an awful all night's march in a terrific downpour of rain and through swamps of mud and over the stones and underbrush of precipitous hills, afte- f-veral weeks of arduous marches, pursuing the flying "i 3u Aguinaldo. His faithful command were well worn, having had no time in which to rest up after their arduous work in the north, where they had little to eat, returning ragged and barefooted. Thus the pathetic tragedy becomes a calamity. Had the fortunes of war proved different on that fatal morning, he would within the present week havte 'been commissioned a brigadier in the regular army, a posi tion he had well earned and for the discharge of the duties of which he was so eminently fitted. -O- ICruger and Victoria's Sorrows. Queen Victoria is 80 years old, and Oom Paul Is but two years younger. The one for his side is wholly responsible. The other for her side Is not, although she moans night and day that she ever gave her perfunctory or formal con cent to a war of whose necessity or justice she was never tonvinced. And so Victoria weeps, and has lost her power to sleep, over Dundee and Glencoe, Ladysmith Nicholson's Nek, Farquhar's Farm, Estcourt, Modder River, Storm, burg and Tugela river. Yet in being but two years hfr junior in the weight of years the old man of the Transvaal uho has guarded and fostered his land so long is being o erwhelmed by Vic's high-toned, boutonmrired gentlemen J soldiers. Pity works both ways, or should. Kruger js not niy losing sleep over the slaughter or his countrymen, but over the ever constant apprehension that the sorrowing .majesty's subjects will destroy that which is dearer than life to him and his. While It is true that England's queen is perspiring and that the man whom she is trying to de stroy te sweating1 for it, the chances are not improbable that her majesty, before the end, will be loaded down with ap ipreheBstone as great as those worrying Paul, and that, too, over the future of her own land. The pity of all this is tlwtf. there was no necessity fcr it. Granted the worst of the ulthinders' grievances were True, thes made no issue justifying war after the conces-j-ion offered toy Kruger, if they ever did. And the issue of paramountcy in South Africa, was set up after -the war was inevitable. Prof. Brlce's testimony, after a visit to the Traasvaai, was that the Dutch contemplated nothing in he way of territorial extension at the expense of the Brit ish. They wished only to be let aione. The conclusion is that Chanttoerialn was so poorly informed of the temper of the Boers and so completely underestimated their fighting powers and resources -that he threw the empire into the scales In a gamble of "vhlch he knew so lHtle that he sap 3osed all the chances were in favor of Great Britain. Bat the possession ultimately of the territory f the South Afrf. can Republic cannot make up for the loss of English pres tige, to ay nothing of English blood ami money. i The Boers precipitated the war, but did not provoke It. England, as it has turned out, had better remember both Bunker Hill and Xajuba Hill and the rest, and make aome sacrtftca of pride. The Transvaal ig deserving of being a repubHe. The Doers hare Shown that they deserve better than extermliuuioa or subjection. They nave won a place as a nation fa the lsat two mouths tf never before. And we hold that for the sake of all that England says she is fighting for. aire Has not the right to Imperil interests far more important than those no wat stake in mere territorial -nlargomt or an empiiaate of supremacy where It -was unquestioned until the present reckless resort to the arbit rament of arms. Getting: Ready for War All Around. AH Bttrope wiH be getting onto a war footing. Not a Flngle ruler knows what may haapea in the next year. A failure of England to whip the Boer way prove the sinwi for a general European war. The Rmperor of Germany is now "trying to exact from the relchstag legislation in favor of a large Increase in the German navy. Chancellor von Hohenlohe declared in a speech on Jlonday that it was the purpose to submit estimates for the doubling of the present number of naval vessels. The meaning of this is plain. Germany does not anticipate an international war," but she desires to hold her own with the other nations of the earth. As Count von Buelow declared in the reichstag, Germany does not wish to interfere with any other foreign powar, "but," he declared, "neither do we wish to let our feet be trodden upon by a foreign power, nor let ourselves be oushed aside, either politically or commercially."

The Topeka Capital's Graceful Compliment. The Topeka Capital more than endorses the Eagle's po sition of yesterday touching the distinctive honor conferred by Speaker Henderson on Chester I. Long, congressman from this district. The Capital says: "By united support and action the Kansas delegation secured from -Speaker Henderson a prize in the award of committee positions sought by many states, including some of the oldest and most populous in the country. This was the appointment of Congressman Long, of the Seventh district, to the lead. Ing committee of the house, ways and means. Membership on this committee is a higher honor than the chairmanship of any of the minor committees of the house, and it is a distinction never given to a new member and seldom to one who has served less than three or four 'terms in the house. More than a year ago the Capital pointed out the chances for Kansas to capture this position in view of the fact that many of the older members of 'congress had died or been retired and that Kansas had contributed more than any state to the Republican majority in the Fifty-sixth congress. Speaker Henderson evidently considered the claims of 'the Kansas delegation to be well founded, since he has passed over many older men and older states and recognized the Seventh district in this state for the second vacancy on th ecommittee. The appointment of Long gives Kansas representation on the ways and means committee for the first time since the death of Dudley Haskell, a period of nearly twenty years. In the Fifty-sixth congress Kansas ranks higher in committee assignments than at any time since the retire ment of Ryan, Qlonill, Peters, Perkins and Anderson, at the close of the Fiftieth congress. At that time we held a leading position on the second committee of tne house (ap propriations), as well as the chairmanship of the pension committee and Important positions on the judiciary and inter-state commerce. Mr. Ryan was in line for the chair manship of the appropriations committee when he became minister to Mexico. In the present house Curtis is second on the Indian committee, Calderhead is seventh out of sev enteen members on banking and is also on the pensions committee. Other committees on which Kansas is repre sented are coinage, weights and measures, elections, irriga tion, agriculture, and one or two minor committees. On the whole, Speaker Henderson has been generous in his recogni tion of Kansas in his assignment of committee places." The World's Alistress or Haster. England failing to maintain her position as mistress of the world, may find that the world is to have a master Instead, In the person of her esteemed Uncle Samuel. The United States officer campaigning in northern Luzon who sent word to General Otis that he lacked nothing except provisions, money and clothing did not wish to be und3r stood as complaining, and as a matter of fact he continued on the trail of Aguinaldo. It is not down in the books that such men are to be defeated. -x- That Texas Triangular Town. The newly founded town of Triangle, Texas, is laid out in the form of an equilateral triangle; its lots are trian gular in shape, and the ground plan of each of the twenty three houses which have thus far been erected is three corneied. The three principal streets are named Equilateral, Scalene and Isosceles, and the residents have even carried their curious idea into the local government, which con sists of a Fo-called triangular council, having three mem. bers. How would the board of strategy handle such a community? be speak Up, Billy Boy. Mr. Bryan is singularly reticent as to whether or not he favors a canal that would shorten by 10,000 miles the voyage from New York to San Francisco and would create a water route between New Orleans and the future great cotton markets in the far east shorter than the Suez route. But he will doubtless speak his mind later. Bread and Butter First, Then Love. Dr. W. L. Hervey, lecturing in New York to mothers on the duties of fathers, says a father, to win his child's love, must bathe him, put him to bed and indulge his childish confidences. Who is going to earn the little fel low's living meanwhile? Mr. Bacon of Georgia and Mr. De Armond of Missouri are now in congress telling the United States to release the Philippines, and haUng released them to guarantee their Independence. What a fortunate thing that this nation isn't managed by De Armond and Bacon. Lawton loved to fight. The Civil war didn't satisfy him. He joined the regular army after that war and fought In dians. He fought the Spaniards at Ei Caney. That wasn't enough. He went to the Philippines to fight the Tagals. Dr. Finney of Wisconsin, inventor of the trolley, died this week, poor. The best way for the inventors to do is to turn their Inventions loose for the good of humanity. The patent precaution does not seem to work. The war in Luzon has become so fitful that the Ameri cans have ceased to remember that any man with a gun is dangerous. Lawton met his death through this indifference. Lord Roberts ot Kandahar and Lord Kitchener of Egypt are now speeding towards South Africa. But the chances are that Joubert isn't a bit nervous. -O- The "moving spirit" in the Luzon war has been captured a number of times. But the only genuine moving spirit is he who moves like a spirit, Aguinaldo. g It might be a good Idea, in order to settle the matter, to call in all three of Roberts 'families and let the children point out who is their papa.

But there were mo ments when life her life in particular seemed an interminable journey tnrough a. leaden world. At no time was It a joy; rather a cir cumstance to be borne as best one might hlong with its concomitants, poverty and ill-health. She was a Christian with all that Im plies to one bred in an evangelical at mosphere. She read her Bible and prayed as conscientiously as she performed the duties of nursery governess to the little Caxtons. It would be difficult to deter mine from which source she derived most Comfort. She knew she ought to find solace for her ills in holy writ, but she reflected quietly sometimes that the touch of Jean's warm little body banished sad ness more effectually. For she was fond of her small charges, especially the younger. "Which I3 really the reason I overlook her frequent attacks of Illness," Mrs. Caxton was wont to explain to her friends. They were frequent, these attacks, and agonizing. From Monday until Saturday Mary lived in dread of mem. When three weeks elapsed without payment of her debt of pain she grew almost hopeful. But she was never permitted to remain so Ions. None of the physicians she had seen seemed to understand her case. Certain ly none helped her. "A curibus affection of the heart," was the general verdict. "It will wear away in time or And the pause was ominous. They all gave her a tonic to build up her system and some powders to deaden th pain. Mary -always took the powders because the powerful drugs they contain ed sometimes brought oblivion, but the tonic she systematically forgot. Long years of torture had rendered her a iit tle skeptical regarding Its efficacj. And this was one of the reasons, Derhaos. why Mrs. Caxton called her "stubborn" and asserted that she took no care of herself. For a little while, as an outsome of her church-going (and also, to do her justice, because she was a trim, good looking1 girl in spite of her pallor) s-he had a "beau." But it was a colorless love affair and died a natural death due to her ill-health and consequent inability to attend gatherings of young people, where such attachments are fanned into matrimonial flame. Still, it was Mary's nearest approach to an emotion and she cried a little over it. If you've never possessed a great glowing ruby you are prone to think the garnet that slips through your fingers a loss. She never alluded to it but once. That was when a new physician summon ed by the Caxtons, diagnosed her case, mistakenly, as afterward appeared, as tu berculosis in an incipient stage. "How fortunate I didn't get married that time," she said. "I might have blighted some little Then she stop ped, lacking courage to utter her thought. To her accustomed burdens Mary was then in a measure resigned. Latterly, however, a fresh anxiety had been knock ing at her soul. Ever since autumn began her attacks had been increasing in acuteness and fre quency. Slie knejv the household was of ten inconvenienced by them and she had caught Mrs. Caxfon's eyes resting upon her scrutinizingly, even pityingly, as if there were something in her mind that she was loath to speak. Mary held Jean close when these thoughts came and tried to forget them. One morning the bldw fell. Mrs Cax ton was abrupt. It was not easy to d s miss so faithful a soul and she knew what the children's grief would be. Her usual suavity deserted her. "Mary," she said briskly, "You must make up aour mind to go home. You are not welrenough Wkeep on with your work. I shall set about finding some one else at once." The suddenness of It stung Mary into a desperation of which 'Insolence seemed the only possible expression. Great shocks sometimes goad even gentle souls into unaccustomed acts. "After three years' of service," she thought, "and so near Christmas! To be turned off like a. dog'" So she. hefd hef,head high and hummed a little air for amoment, just to show that she was not hurt. "I don't think I'll go home," she said, carelessly. "I feel perfectly well. I'll just look for another situation." If her best friend had turned upon her Mrs. Caxton could not have been more amazed. Her first impulse was toward indignation. But she was a woman of discernment, and, divining something of the girl's mind, was governed by a wiser second thousht. "Of course, 'Mary, you'll stay with us until after Christmas, even if I find some one to take your place," she said gently. "You can help with the sewing and the holiday work. You must know how hard it Is for all of us to let you go." And Mary's anger died. She apologized afterwards or tried to. The two women understood. And every night when she was in bed she stared with wide-open, sleepless eyes at the vision of her life an Invalid's life in her father's house, a poor place ruled by the vagaries of an unlovely woman, her stepmother. Christmas day came and went. Her part in the household joys she bore cheer fully, grateful for her gifts, sharing In the glee of the children, keeping alwavj as close to Jean as possible. For the thought of the coming parting lay heavy uron her. When night came she tucked the small well-loved body away in bed and then went herself to commune with the vision. By and by the house quieted, but sleep refused to come to her. Tomorrow night she would be at homo. Time enough to sleep then, she thousht sadly. Midnight struck, then l o'clock. Presently she fancied she heard noise.", a door closing, a faint rustling on the stairs. She listened intently. At last there was a sharp crackling sound as of a match beirt lighted. Naturally timid, her first thousht was of burglars. She lay stilt shivering with apprehension. Then the idea of Dmeas shaped Itself. Then the children. That sent her burrjrlap into her wrap per and slipper and down-cudrs into the nursery. Everything was quiet. She went to Jean's bed. It was empty. Just then there came a little gurgling lauf h from the direction of the drawing room. Marv ran hastily down tha second flight of ctair. None too soon. As she reached the drawing-room door the laugh was changed to an acoafefct? Shriek and a little Bjrare, wtretoped ht naawa. came ayiat; across the room.

PRECtDFS REGULAR TRAIN From the South and Has Pullman Car Attached. If your liver is out of order, causing Biliousness, Sick Headache, Heart burn, or Constipation, take a dose ot 3& Last nisht a new Santa Fe train left "Wichita for Kansas City, and its. depar ture reveals a wonderful condition of af fairs. The north-bound passenger from Okla homa reaches "Wichita at S:50 In the evening-, and leaves here a few minutes later for the east. At 9:50 the new train with i Pullman attached leaves for Kansas City directly in front of the train from Oklahoma, which also carries a sleeper. The new train with the sleeoer attach ed pushes right through to Kansas City, arriving there at 6:3V) the following morn ing. The Pullman is sidetracked Until 7.30. The reason for the new train was the imperative necessity of removing some of the burden which the north-bound train from Oklahoma has received here and east of here. That Oklahoma train is a vpry long and heavy one, and so great lias been the traffic and express of all kinds lately that a new train had to be provided "When the train arrived from the south already heavyily laden the amount of express and baggage here de layed it The train consequently had all it could manage comfortably when it reached "Wichita, was in fact completed, and every pound of freight or express and every passenger added was a hindrance. The new train was designed to relieve this burden. The amount of express mat ter which leaves "Wichita nightly Is some thing onormous. This will now all be carried by the firt train out. The Pull man sleeper attached to the train and the c .aches will carry the passengers be tween here and Kansas City, and the other train which is full every night when it arrives here from the south, -will find the field practically clear between here and Kansas City, and will be able 1 1 make time. This is in effect two sec tions of a single train. The north-bound train practically divides into two trains here for the run to Kansas City. Mr. Delaney and his assistants only re ceived notification of the new train yes terday morning It left on its first run last evening Travel on the Santa Fe continues heavy and as the holHay sea son approaches has become sonething without precedent on this nart of the system.

Taxes paid before the 21st of December have rebated 5 per cent of the second half; but if not paid before that the first half is subject to a penalty 5 per cont. So it fe the interest of fit? tax payer to pay before December 21.

They were too late unless by a slight "ain In construction Mr. Lloyd holds hat taxes may be paid today and the p nalty saved. It is not unlikely this n ly be done, though no one is author ized officially to say so. This would meet v.lth general approval. But there is no way to know whether one may pay his taxes today but by going to the treas urer's ofllce and offering to pay his tax. The amount of taxes paid in November exceeded the amount paid in November, lM'S, by $20,600. The tax paid for Decom r will be far higher than December of :ast year, but Just how much can only e approximated for the books are not balanced so the matter can be arrived at definitely without considerable dlJliculty. 1 IN DEFENSE OF JEWS Dr. Hir.-U Lectured nt Auditorium Last AiRltt. Dr E. G. Hlrsch, the most noted rabbi in Chicago, If not in this country, lec ured last evening at the Auditorium on Jewish race Dr. Illrach is fin elo quent speaker and has a remarkable fl -w of language. He holds the attention of his audience, and 4iis lecture was thor- uifhly appreciated last evnlng. He devoted much of his time to explod i' th time-worn allegations againct vo Jews, and explaining who ad what tn-y were. He compared the Hebrew ra with the Sphinx of Egypt. "While nations rose and fell, dynasties changed and centuries of Wine passed, the He bn w race still endured and watched the progress of the world. The Jew, he said, is now the center of interest in the world. They are made s,o by the wave of antl-Seraittcfcim which Is sweeping: over continental Kurope, In many of the principal countries of the world the Jews are being persecuted as the were during the feudal ages. Eng land, he said, was the owiy European country which was free from the fanati cism. The eastern states of America, he claimed, persecuted the Jew in a. social wav. He scornfully asked if a woman uln could trace her ancestry to the time Jesus of Nazareth was not the equal y "birth and breeding of a woman who ald only trace her ancestry back two neratfoos to a fish peddler or an In- n trader. The Jew, he claimed. t all times has 1 i a mystery, and nss oeen the inno- victim of persecution. He quickly f? '-vded the Action that one reason of Jews' persecution was that they were i-i-tocratio, exclusive and proud of their .ntainted blood which led them to scorn .1 lmixture with other races, this being averted as causing enmity and resulting i" persecution. He claimed that the Jews frequently married out of the faith and that this was prmed by th fiwt that the Jews resembled the people of the ountry In which ihcy lied He refuted the idej. h it the Jew was On retiring, and tomorrow your di gestive organs will be regulated and you will be bright, active and ready for any kind of work. This has been the experience of others; it will be yours. HOOD'S PILLS are sold by all medicine dealers. 25 cte- not loyal to the flag under which he lived. The Jew, he claimed, had no na tion of his own. He became a patriot of the country in which he was a native and a resident. He quoted statistics to bear out his claim, showing that the number of Jews who served in different wars in which this country had been en gaged. He cited Dreyfus as being a pa triot of the present type. He grew elo quent in speaking on this topic and said: "There are no more loyal citizens in America, than the Jews, nor will there ever be. The Stars and Stripes is our flag. "We have no other. May it long wave over the home of the true tnd the brave." He scouted the formation of a Hebrew republic in Palestine. The Jews in Rus sia and Roumanla, who are persecuted, are interested in the project, he said, but not those living in America. Dr. Hlrsch picked to pieces the idea that Shakespeare's Shylock represented a typical Jew. He sold that the character was wrongly drawn, and asserted that Shakespeare never saw a Jew, as they were not allowed in England during his age. He deplored that the race was filled with the commercial spirit and said that it was due to persecution which drove them from their natural pursuits as far mers and artisans. He denied that the Jewish people had anything to do with the crucifixion of Christ and said that a few jealous priests and the Roman sol diers were responsible for his death. The Jews, he claimed, only wanted to bo treated as men and equals. They asked no distinction except in religion. He said they would welcome the return of Christ to earth and the opening oT a period of peace and fellowship among men. have m agreed Evidence Which Puzzles Law yers as Well as Jury. EIGHTEEN HOURS WRANGLE Doran Trial Will Likely be a Disagreement The jury In the Doran shortage case retired to deliberate upon their verdict at 10:15 yesterday morning and at a late hour last night they had not agreed upon a verdict. Just what the verdict will be no one may safely guess. "Whether the difficulty is the amount of the recovery or a difference of opinion as to whether there is or i3 not a shortage, Is a matter of surmise pure and simple. The jury is guarded in their secrecy by Special BaiHff B. V. Donnelley. Just what the individual jurors have said and are say ing may serve for speculation, but our curiosity will not be satisfied in this re spect for the deliberations of a jury are secret- Tne case puzzles the best posted men connected with it. One of the best In formed lawyers representing the defense who has gone studiously and intelligently over both the law and the evidence, said last night that he could not make up his mind if there was a shortage; and if there were, he could not say 'within a thsueand dollars what It is. Items turn ed in as cash items, such as unpaid war rants, charged as cash when they are not, and whether the proper deductions have been made when they are cancelled seems to be a question to puzzle the brightest Intellect connected with the case It seems the evidence, the actual dis closure of the books, puts many In the state of mind with Hamlet, for It is this that, puzzles the. will. At a late hour last night tho sleepy, worried and confused jurors were talking law and figures try ing to get a common starting point. This jury will hardly ever agree, unless after fruitless effort thoy just return a Scotch verdict a shortage, but not proved. It is not a safe thing to guess on a verdict of a jury, but the indications point to the conclusion that this jury can not all be brought to believe there was a short age in the first term of Mr. Doran, for which the bondsmen are responsible, and that therefore the verdict will be for the defendant or no verdict at all.

J0HNY RFIFPS SALARY Wichita Boy Gets $15,000 a Year for Killing; KoreM. From the Chicago Timos-Herald. "Johnny Reiff, the peer of the midget jockeys of the world, has set a new fetandard for the boys who ride the bang tails. Little Johnny, who lias made a larger fortune before he is 15 years of age than many men accumulate in a lifetime, is going to educate himself. He wants to be not only a smart jockey, but a smart man, and in this shows a dis position which does not characterize the great majority of bojs who make moneys by riding on the race track. a stipulated salary of $15,000 a year. His success during the season just closed was so remarkable that he achieved great popularity and became as conspic uous in England as Tod Sloan did when he first entered upon his career across the water. Attentions from royalty did not turn the little lad's head, and last week he entered an English school "With, a chance of returning to America and making plenty of money on tho winter tracks, he has done more than other jockeys in preferring to cultivate his mind. "When he left his home in Wich ita, Kan., two years ago, rather against his own wishes and without having had the advantages of more than a few win ters in the public schools, he was as ig norant of the ways and tricks of jock eys as he wae lacking In education. He went because his brother, Lester Reiff, who had already won fame and fortune on the race track, wanted him to make the same attempt. Being a born jockey, he soon -became the equal of his brother. Ho weighs sixty-five pounds and can ride a horse that finany a stronger boy would be unable to handle. "Nine-tenths of the boys who ride race horses have no schooling. Their career begins usually when they are tots around the stable. They learn to exer cise horses and later to ride them in race. If they are in the least success ful it (means money to both them and their parents, and they stay until ruled off the track or become incapacitated. "Although money is th attraction which keeps jockeys In the business, few of them, unless they are In almost direct care of their parents or because they mature early in life, save money fromt their large incomes. Often parents w4ioe share of the world's wealth 1& small see a chance to live comfortably on the in come a mere boy can make on the turf, and they encourage their boys to ride.

WHOLE TOWN TURNED OUT Wichita Sportsmen There An Open Prairie Feast. A number of "Wichita people went dotvn to Conway Springs yesterday to eee the big rabbit hunt that tvas pulled off there yesterday. Half the town of Conway J turned out to take in the sport. The hunting parties consisted of ten men on each side to follow directions given by the respective captains. They were to hunt at will and the side that killed the greatest number of rabbits nas to be banquetted by the losers. Captains were selected and they chose their men by alternate selection as they would to play an old-fashioned game of town ball. Dr. R. A. Mcllhenny was captain of one side and T. S. Beal of the other. Mcllhenny's men were James Peetz, Charles Davis, George Haworth, Bert aicNaghtcn, E. L. Cline, S. T. Pierson, John- Richards and Grant Lane. This side killed 291 rabbits. Beal's men were J. N. Thornbro, Jake Barnard, T. B. Spencer, Charles Fowler, T. A. Dodson, "William, Cline, Bert Strong, L. Z. Clark and J. Hunt. This side killed 247 rabbits. There were about fifteen honorary mem bers on each side, these being mostly out siders invited as guests. The party left Conway Springs yester day morning at 9 o'clock with whoop and guy and halloo and plenty of dinner. A commissary wagon carried dinner and nothing more. They all drank water at noon lunch, which was spread out on the prairie in the yellow sun of Christmas time, a blessing no other country on earth knows but Kansas. It was a great day and the festive cotton tail with his long-eared uncle, the jackrabbit, played Aguinaldo for two townships around. But the party bagged in all 53S rabbits. Beal's men will set 'em up to Mcllhen- ny's men some time in the holidays.

THE AUDITORIUM. j Tonight Professor L. L.' Dyche will de- liver his new illustrated lecture. "Life and Conditions in the Interior of Alas ka," at the Auditorium. This is a new lecture and was never eiven in Wichita. He h&j3 received thirty-two calls this season to deliver this lecture and is lim ited to but twenty, so the city is fortu- i nate to have him here. Professor Dyche has made fourteen expeditions and this will be an account of his thrilling ex- periences and adventures, illustrated by one hundred views from the interior, frozen regions of Northern Alaska. He has been all over the Klondike country i and will give many pictures of its i scenery. At 4:15 p. m. he will give an il- lustrated lecture on "A Hundred Pic- tures and a Hundred Stories f Arctic Life," to the public school children and all who may attend. Admission to the evening lecture, 25 cents. Tickets reserv- ed at Romlg Howard's drug store. Ad mission to the afternoon matinee, 10 cents. I I "A STRANGER IN NEW YORK." J Charles Hoyt, one of the most prolific of modern playwrights, has furnished the amusement-loving public with many a clever satire and entertaining picture of lifelike characters, whose peculiarities he so forcibly and entertainingly illustrates. But In his latest work, "A Stranger in INew York," which comes to this city next month at the Crawford it is said that ifor downright fun and clean-cut amuse ment It Is far ahead of anything of Its class, and as a success and a money maker it? has already eclipsed the record of his famous "A Trip to Chinatown." The cast is announced as being the best ever seen in a Hoyt comedy, and includes all the best artists in the employ of Messrs. Hoyt and McKee. As a scenic production it clearly surpasses all the other Hoyt efforts. Every particle of scenery, stage accessories and every iden- i tical thing used In the, production here will be 'brought from Hoyt's theater, thus assuring the same presentation in every way as that given In New York. A rare treat Is in store for theater goers. Hoyt's elaborate revival produc tion of his world-famed musical comedy, "A Trip to Chinatown" will be presented in this city at a very early date. The cast includes the very best farce comedy people in the profession and is headed by Mr. Harry Gilfoll, the leading com edian of playwright Hoyt's comedy staff. Critics everywhere the piece has been presented this season unite in pronounc ing the new "Trip" the best Hoytian performance ever presented to the amuse ment public. The Hunt Stock company promise a series of good performances at the Craw ford theater commencing tonight, when they present the comedy "A Much Mar ried Man." Ladles will be admitted free with each 30-cent ticket reserved before B p. m. There will be a change of bill each performance and the usual matinee Saturday. Last night the Morey Stock company presented "A Royal Slave" to a large audience at the opera house. The piece was well produced and the company his scored a hit for their first night perform ance. Luella Morey in the role of Count ess DeOra was fine and her part gave ample opportunities for good work. Clar ence Bennett as the Royal Slave divided honors with Miss Morey for popular favor. The scenery and costumes were far "better than lots of one-night stand companies. The company carries an Im mense amount of scenery to set off its pieces. The people are really good and deserve good patronage. Their reper toire contains all up-to-date plays and the company is certainly capable of good Interpretations. Arkansas City Traveler, Nov. 2S The above company will be with us one week, beginning Monday, Christmas mat ii.ee, uecemoer s, opening in tno above great piay, wnicn is a tirand new one by Clarence Bennett. At the matinoe the farce comedy, "Why Smith Ifr Homo," will be given.

Me- S0MEANCIENT LANDMARKS How the Bowery Became the Sort of Thing It Is, New York, Dec. 20. The Herald says: One of the ever memorable events in the annals of New York City was that which occurred on April SO, 17S9 the inaugura tion of General George Washington as the first President of the "United States. Among the twenty-five thousand soul who constituted its population at that time, (reckoning one soul to each inhabitant, an average that would be statistically, nay, theologically, correct even at the present day, despite the frequent diffi culty of squaring internal facts with ex ternal action) among this little nucles of the millions to be there was residing here a bright little Quaker lady, who, by birth, marrige and remarrige afeter the death of her lirst rusband, had been suc cessively a Sharpies and a Franklin, and was now an Osgood, the wife of Samuel Osgood, Postmaster General under the new administration. Mrs. Osgood had every reason, person al a3 well as patriotic, to take a keen interest in the event, for it was the house built by her first husband.Samuel Frank lin, on tnat part of the city now known as Franklin Square, which had been se lected by the city to be the first resi dence of the nation's first President. To one of her friends in Philadelphia, this lady wrote a letter, dated on the day of Washingon's inauguration, which is still preserved by her descendants. It begins as follows: Great rejoicing in New York on the ar rival of General Washington; an elegant barge decorated with an awning of sat in, twelve oarsmen dressed in white frocks and blue ribbons went down to E. Town (Elizabethtown) last Fourth day (Wednesday) to bring him up. A stage was erected at the Coffee house wharf, with a carpet for him to step on, where a company of Light horse, one of artil lery, and most of the inhabitants were waiting to receive him; they paraded though Queen street in great form, while the music of the drums and the ringing of the bells were enough to stun one with the noise." She goes on to tell how he r Aunt Os good and Lady Kitty Duer had super vised the furnishing of the house: "I went the morning before the Gener al's arrival to take a look at it. .The best of furniture in every room, and the grat est uantlty of plat and china I ever saw; the whole of the first and second stories is papered and the floors covered with the richest kind of Turkey and Wilton carpets. The house did honor to my aunts and Lady Kitty; they spared no pains nor expense on it. There is scarce ly anything talked about now but Gen eral Washington and the Palace." The "Palace" khlch was the occosion of so much talk, was a mansion of the old Colonial type, three stories and an attic high, with a door opening on Cher ry street it was known as No. 3, Cher ry street and lighted by twelve windows on the Chery street side and fourteen on Franklin, or, as it was then called, St Georges square. To eyes accustomed, as "Washington's had been from boyhood, to open daily the optupetaoinshrdlucmfwyp open dally upon the shining reaches of a river, there must have been comfort in the beautiful bits of water view that could bo caught from the windows the near East River on the Franklin square side and the more distant bay on tho Cherry street side. There were com plaints at the time that the (resident's houe was too far out of the city prop er, which then centred in Bowling Green, with a narow northward extension along Broadway to the "Commons," now City Hall Park. And, indeed, it was eome time after the President had left Cher ry street and New York itself before the town residences extended so far to the eastward as Franklin square. Then came the marts of trade to drive the resi dences northward and to fill the square with the hum of traffic, whose storm centre took a nohtward flight in its own due time, so that the house hallowed by so many memeorles became in turn a mude store and a bank, and then, after conversion to still baser uses, was torn down in lS5fi. The only bit of it now known to exist is the president's chair of the New York Historical Society, which is made of wood taken from the old house. And what sort of a city was the new and, as it turned out. the temporary cap ital of tho nation over which Washington had been called to rule? She was far, indeed, from having even the relative im portance which is hers today. In size, in wealth, in population, Philadelphia far outstripped her. Even Boston outstrip ped her. New York came in as a bad third. fcShe was p. plain, sober sided lit tle town, unable to conceal the ravages of repeated fires and of seven years of British occupation. It i true that thous ands of her citizens who. during those disastrous seven years, had been living in exile up the Hudson or In New Jersey, had returned after her evacuattion bv the British (Novemeber 24, 17S3), and. were even now engeaged with an energy that seemed marvelous, in repairing the damage done by fire and war. Never theless, all the energy of her children could not blind some of the travellers who at the time of the inaugurtaion flocked in from other and more favored localities to hor obvious shotrcomings.

The streets are badly paved, dirty and narrow, as well as crooked, and filled up with a strange variety of wooden, stone and brick buildings, and full of hogs and mud." N Nevertheless, this atribilar critic, whose bones had probably not yet ceased aching from his long journey by boat and coach, has the grace to acknowledge that the College, St. Paul's Church, the Hospital and the Federal Hall, in Wall street "are elegant buildings." It was not until the latter part of May, 17S9, that Mrs. Washington joined her "husband in New York. Meanwhile, Sam uel Fraunce had been installed as stew ard of the household. Fraunce had al ready become famous as the proprietor of Fraunce's Tavern, still standing on the southeast corner of Broad and Pearl streets. Built in 1700, from 1762 until now the building has always been used as a public house, with, however, varying de grees .of excellence, and in later years with none of its early distinction. Aside from Its ancient culinary fame it bears historical memories. Ie had been Wash ington's headquarters In 1776, and in 1783 he had delivered there his farewell ad dress to his generals. Fraunce was a Southern negro who had known the President from boyhood. It is even said that his daughter Phoebe haa during the war saved Washington's life by the exposure of a plot to poison him. He is described by Washington him self as "an excellent cook, knowing how to provide genteel dinners and giving aid in dressing them." But he was not so great an economist as the President de sired. Goaded by anti-federalist criti cisms upon his love of display, Washing ton mounted his first establishment in New York on very simple lines. Fraunce's occasional extravagances, notably the purchase of an early shad at the Fly Market, brought upon him stearn rebuke. But onovery occasion "Black Sam" would withdraw tearfully into an anteroom, de claring that at any cost he would con tinue the credit of the house by "serving His Excellency's table as it ought to be." Judge Wingate describes the very frugal feast given to welcome MMrs. Washing ton's arrival in New York, the chief's own share being limited to a slice of plain boiled mutton. But though the President's larder was thus -frugally supplied, Fraunce saw to it that his wine cellar should be well stock ed with choice Maderia, claret, cham pagne, sherry, arrack, spirits, brandy, cordials, porter, beer and cider. Never theless,' there does not seem to have been much Indecorous intoxication in the homes of those days, though when the gentlemen got together alone at public banquets they gave themselves wider lat itude. There is still extant a bill pre sented by Capes, the proprietor of the famous Province Tavern, to the Governor of New York for a dinner given to Wash ington and his generals on Evacuation Day. After portentlous items for valiant potations of champagne, claret, sherry and beer there comes a significant lit tle memorandum for "sixty glasses broken." Trinity Church had been destroyed by the fire of 177S, and on Washington's ar rival masons and carsenters were at work upon a new structure, the immedi ate predecessor of the present one. So Washington and his family worshipped at first at St. Paul's, substantially the same, save for the spife added in 1794, that it is at present. The pew he oc cupied has been preserved, and still is to be seen next the north wall, midway between the chancel and the vestry. Di rectly opposite is the pew occupied at the same period by General George Clinton. Back of the chancel stands the monu ment to Major General Richard Mont gemery, who fell before Quebec in 1775, crying:: "Men of New York, you will not fall to follow where your general leads!" The burial ground, like the burial ground of Trinity, contains monuments of men whose names are associated with colonial, Revolutionary and more modern New York. When the new Trinity Church wasfin ished, a canopied pew was provided for the President, which he occupied from 1701, abandoning St. Paul's for Trinity, as in the same year he abandoned the Franklin house for the McComb man sion, at No. 39 BBroadway. Vice President John Adams made his "home at the Richmond Hill mansion, where Varlck street now crosses Charl ton in poverty-stricken flatness and ug liness. This house was a centre of his torical memories. Here Washington had made his temporary headquarters in 1776, after the battle of Long Island. Here, wehen John Adams left, another Vice President arived. This was Aaron Burr. It was from Richmond Hill that Burr started to kill Alexander Hamilton. It was from his country seat, the Grange, that Hamilton started to be killed. The Grange is still standing near 145th street, opposite the group of thirteen gum trees which he planted as a ssymbol of the thirteen States. The most populous if not the lost pop ular, and by all odds the finest public building in Nek York was the jail on the Commons, which had become the Debt or's Prison. During 17SS eleven hundred and sixty persons, one out of every twenty-five citizens, were jailed under thein iquitous debtor's laws of the period. One of Washington's first acts of private charity was to give fifty guineas to the Secretary of tho Relief m peloyetqc Society for the Relief of Distressed Deb itors, an act that won him a published card of thanks from the prisoners. The jail survives to this day as the Hall of Records, near the City Hall, and is still beautiful, as it has a right to be. for it was a modified copy of the fane of Diana of Eohesus. Originally, the Bowery had been the great New York thoroughfare, and Broad way but a ubidiary street It was the British army of occupation encamped along the great thoroughfare that had determined the fate of both the Bowery and Broadway. Drinking shops and places of amusement sprang up to amuse the leisure of a semi-idle soldiery, and when the army vanished it left its cure upon the Bowery. Fashion had already set its s.al of approval upon Broadway. Fash ion's correlative condemnation of the Bowery was indirectly aided by the re turn of prosperity after the evacuation. With increasing commerce the narrow street leading straight from the water side to the Bowery was filled with sail or's lodging houses and with lindsharks who prey upon Jack Tar ashore. Through these narrow streets ran open ewers. which backed up at high tide and filled the neighborhood with noisome odors. But. though the doom of the Bowwy was sealed. Its width and Its advantage as the main highwav retained for it the public favor as a long distance drive un til Broadway was extended. There may still b seen a milestone op posite Rlvington street on the Bowery, which formerly marked the distance from the City Hail, in Wail street.

NO DANGEROUS INGREDIENTS The Most Perfect Skin and Toilet Soap Ever Manufactured. Harmless, Fragrant, Stimulating. That a soap could be manufactured without the use of fats and oils com bined with an alkali has been a greit surprise to chemists, the base of all soaps from the cheapest laundry to the finest toilet having always been made in this way. However, their surprise was not so great as the pleasure of tho medi cal profession when it was found that a perfect soap could be made from the fresh green leaves of the Tasmanian Blue Gum Tree; these leaves furnishing a pro duct, which, although three times strong er than carbolic acid as a germicide. Is perfectly harmless. For years 'these leaves have been the only cure known to the natives of Tasmania for skin dis eases, wounds, etc., and are today used in the principal skin disease hosaltals of Europe, to the exclusion of all other remedies. Now that it is possible to in corporate them in a toilet soap and yet retain all their medicinal qualities, skin diseases can be treated more success fully than before, application of the med Icant being made in this way without the use of ointment which naturally clogs the pores of the skin.

Belated mail reports have reached Manila of an, expedition on the island of Cebu last month by a small force of American soldiers of the Sixth infantry, which was renolsed by insur gents, mainly through the desertion of native allies upon whom the Americans depended. Two of the Americans were killed and two wounded, and in the force of native police accompanying them, on was killed and four wounded. No oSicUl report of the affair has reached Generai Otis, consequently the censor refused to permit the incident to be cabled, tout the has an account front a etaotonrbdlunu correspondent of the Associated Pr.s has an account from a thoroughly re .ta ble source. The Sixth infantrymen killed were Daniel E. Adams, company A; Charks N. Coley, company A. Th wouniei William Stowell. company A; thro-g chest. Bert Hutchinson, company O, throush tiig. The American commander at headquar ter in the town o2 Ceba received in.' ur ination that a forct of tnsnrgeote had occupied une village of Maalbaol on the -west coam of the -land; that they were levying heavy taxej and taking food and horse, and that the villagers would be glad to have them driven away. Cap tain Walter took a detachment of ten soldiers aboard the steam launch Power Ail, on the Hth of October, and proceed ed along the coast, -stopping at the to-ams of Napa and Carca. where three mea were added to th force from each parrt sen. At tbe Utter town a b4yof JC EAtlve poiicesics. who were frfsciiy Is the Americans, mustered into the service their captain.. Senor Majai. These na tives were armed with spears and bolos and "had but a few guns among them. On the evening of the 10th the' Powerful reached Maul haul and her passengers were landed with difficulty through a rough sea. The insurgents bad retreated to the hills, so the force camped for the night, Earfly in the morning they were on the march. The company C detach ment acted as advance guard and the natives, brought up the rear. For three miles they advanced along a narrow road, with the sea on one side and high cliffs on the other. Finally they were compelled to enter a rocky pass, approaching it across a bridge so narrow that they wer& compelled to march two abreast. JugJ as they entered the pass there was a great explosion almost in their faces and they were confronted by a shower of soft earth. The Insurgents had planted a gunpowder mine to annihilate the party, but the soil and the rocks were so pow dery that the Americans suffered no in juries beyond bruises. The explosion was followed bjj a brief (but exciting experi ence. "Immediately after the report the Filipinos hidden in the cliffs opened fire. Two Americans and five natives fell at the first volley, which came 'from, very short range. The commander of the po lice was hit in the hand and a pair of field glasses which ha carried was shat tered. The police were thrown into con fusion and after a moment they fell back and began to run, leaving the few Amer icans to bear the attack. This the men of the Sixth did bravely. They retired In good order, earning their dead and wounded and returning the insurgent fire with such effect that eighteen of the enemy were killed. The party returned to Maulbaul and re-embarked for Cebu, where they arrived the following day with their dead and wounded. The con duct of the native police found some ex cuse in their poor equipment. WORK OF HONG KONG JUNTA liate Xejrros Uprising "Was Promoted by That Outfit Washington, Dec. 19. General Otis cabled the war department as follows: "Information from Hong Kong and Negros shows tht the late Nejrros up risings was the work of the Hons Kong junta, three junta agents visited Negros in the latter part of November and took in 300 Tagalos from Panay and much junta literature, which they circulated. They announced great victories in Luzon, that insurgent independence would be recognized soon by the United States, and warned Negros of punishment in store and directed an uprising throughout the island for December 2. The result was a gathering of a few hundred of the ignor ant masses and robbers and consequent fright of the better element. General Smith has imposed on the towns con cerned a fine to be paid into the general treasury. He reports the guilt of two priests, and says American clergymen are needed; that Negros would be easily controlled if left to Itself, but the natives fear Tagalo vengeance when Agulnaldo fully establishes himself by drivinjr the Americans out of Luzon. Tbe most im probable statements are believed by Ignorant natives." For Infants and Children. Fhe Kind You Have Always BougW Bears tho Signature of Wajjonmakcrs to Raise Prices. Chicago, Dec 20.
