The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It i3 well known that the police departments of the cities of the first class, under the direct control of Governor Leweiling, are organized to protect and encourage saloons, joints dives and disorderly huii-es, and it is also believed by the residents of said cities that such encouragement is given iu order that those ia authority may levy tribute upon those in charge of such dives for their own personal gain, in ab solute disregard of the laws of the state and public decency and morality, and again as an evidence of such general be lief we cite the letter of Associate Jus tice Allen to Lieutenant Governor Dau iels; therefore be it Resolved, By the Populists of Shawnee county, in mass meeting assembled, tiiat we demand that the Populist state cen tral committee be called together, and that said committee take L.

M., Is the Chief Topic of Conversa tion at Washington. XO DISCREDIT CAST On the Conferees by the Caucus. Calling Is the Protest of Those Who Originated It. Waseiixo ton-, Aug. 7. The house Democratic tarilf caucus at 3 o'clock to day and the interview of Senator Voor hees, pi-ouounciug in favor of the house positiou ou free iron and coal, are the absorbing topics among members of the house and the routine proceedings re ceive scant attention. An adjournment will be taken about 2;li0 p. ui., iu order that tho caucus mav be held. Iu tho meantime there is intense feel, ing manifest as to the outcome of tho caucus. Those who projected the cau cus are asserting that it is not intended to discredit the conferrees. Tho anti caucus men denounce the move, how ever, as a llank movement toward sur render to the senate. Representative Patterson of Tennes see, one of tiie leading signers of the caucus peiitiou, denied emphatically that there was any purpose to discredit tho house conferrees or the president. It was, he said, a move to Lave Democrats meet and make the most of a bad situa tion. The main thing was to get a tariff bill and get it quickly. He thought, how ever, that Buci men us Senators Harris, Bales, Vest and others were quite as much entitled to credit as house Demo crats. It had been learned from tho.ie senators who are earnest tariiT reformers wiiat as the best tiiat could be secured. and this should be immediately accepted, Air. Paltersou did not think Senator oorhees statement changed the situa tion. Representative Maddox of Georgia, one oi the signeia of the caucus, said he and others who signed the petition had not wished iu any way to discredit the house conferrees. "The idea of passing a resolution ad verse to our conferrees was never sug gested," said he. "Ou the contrary, I have the greatest confidence iu the judg ment of Speaker Crisp and Representa tive Turner of my state, who are familiar with the conference work. But the idea was that the conferrees had been out for many days. We did not know what they were doing. By having them come here and tell us their successes and reverses there was every probability we could give them our help and, if need he, strengthen them by expressing our confidence in their course. The caucus is for information, not criticism." Representative Tarsuey of the ways and means committee said: "The Yoorhees statement shows that the spir.t of compromise is abroad. It should pave the way to a speedy settlement. The caucus todav can huv.o but one result the upholding of the house conferrees." Representative Kilgore of Texas, an anti-caucus man, said all efforts to dis credit the house conferrees would fail, particularly at a time when Senator Yoorhees held out a strong encourage ment to the house. The caucus mana gers, he said, would find very few behind them if tuey tested tiie strength of a sur render to the senate. Representative Weadock of Michigan said: "I believe in standing by our con ferrees, whether it takes a week or ten weeks. I don't believe in turning tails starting a fire in the rear." Representative Caminetti of California said: "Everyone wiJl endorse the views of Senator Yoorhees. The caucus is likely to go tho way of all caucuses re sult iu nothing." Representative Cooper of Indiana says he will make tiie pomt of no quorum at the caucus if possible. He will also en deavor to secure a speedy adjournment before any action has been taken or bad blood stirred up. t'auf n C'ailtxl to Order. Chairman Holman called tke house caucus to order at 3 o'clock today, 10U members be.ng present. Air. Byuum at once offered a resolution reciting the fact of a disagree ment on a tarill bill declaring that the ccnferree3 should meet in a epirit of liberality, aui by mutual concessions agree upon a measure that will meet with the ap proval of both bodies. Ihe resolution furtner provides for ad- Hpnmuiit tiTitil -l ..'nl.r.1. T-':1 e journment until A o clock Friday next if no agreement is meanwhile reached, the Democratic senators shail be invited to meet on that day in joint caucus. Speaker Crisp, Chairman Wilson, Rep resematives AicAIillan. Catchings and Outhwaite. and those who were expected to tight the session, were on hand, when the caucus w as called to order. In support of the resolution, Mr. Bynum said that above all thiii"-s, an agreement was necessary. He was not prejudiced for or against the senate bill, and would give his support to any bill the conferees might agree upon, but he spoke for tho people of his state who demanded that a bill should be speedily passed. His tone was mild and conciliatory. Speaker Crisp entered while he was speakmd. No motion to adjourn was made and good feeling prevailed. Chairman Wilson replied to Mr. Bv num. Chairman Wilson's speech was rsarked by much spirit. He detailed the work tiie conference and told of the troubles that had been encountered. Air. Wilson said that one of the grea -est troubles was just such movements s this for a caucus bv which tnt. imi-j conferees were subjected to a tire in the rear. He deprecated the adoption of the Bynum resolution, and was followed by Air. Livingston, of Georgia, who offered a substitute expressing confi dence in the house conferees and leaving all action to their judgment A FIGHT AVITII A MANIAC. The Straggle Take Place in Klauer'a Cigar Store. Sheriff David Burdge and his three deputies had a terrific struggle with a maniac armed with a keen knife this morning, and it required the combined strength of all of them to overpower him. The maniac is John Newcomb, a cigar maker at Klauer's factory, whose head was injured in a fall several years ago. Since then he has been subject to fits and his last one about three weeks ago was almost fatal. Since then his brain has been worse affected. He went to work as usual this morning and although he had been "queer1 for several days the other em ployes noticed that his insanity today was more pronounced and violent. He could with difficulty talk coherently and called common articles by wrong names, insisting that tobacco was paper. He was irritable and appeared anxiou9 to fight with the other men, and handled his sharp cigar-maker's knife in a way that mailt; the others decidedly uneasy. At about 11 o'clock II. A. Klauer went out and notified Sheriff Burdge and the necessary papers were drawn up for a trial in the urobate court. Air. Burdge was accompanied Wilkersou, Daa AVilkerson. Air. them in advance had a knife aul by Deputies To.u Jones and Dee Klauer informed that tho maniac to be cautious iu approaching him. Accordingly Tom Wilkerson entered first and began a conversation witli New-comb-on business affairs and succeeded in picking up the knife unnoticed. Then Sheriff Burdge entered and Wilkerson remarked, "Here's a man who wants to see you on business." The sheriff had commitment papers in his hand and the moment Newcomb saw them he aj peared to understand what was up and made a grab for his kuife, only to liud it was gone. Then he made a vicious effort to grab Wilkersou by the throat, tut failing in this attempted to take tho knife away from him. This effort was resisted, but the maniac might have been successful had j Wli'-lat i not Sherur uuruge caught mm aooui me fho other two deputies rushed in ana Uan .(ones cautrht .ewcomo t about the legs, while Doc Wilkerson held the arm and Tom W ilkerson took away from him the heavy cigar pressor which he had picked up from the table. Then the maniac fought and tussled with superhuman strength, but the four officers, all of them strong men, over powered him and at last succeeded in putting a strong pair of handcuffs on him. '1 he handcuffs appeared to take all the resistauce out of him for the time being. Sheriff Burdge said after the capture: "I would rather fight with four desperate ori'TtintUa than one maniac. Then 1 could light back, but an ofiicer is not justified iu fighting a crazy man except in case it is absolutely necossiry to 6ave his own life. On the other hand, the crazy man fights with desperation, and his madness seems to give him new strength. I am satisfied that two men could not have captured Newcomb to dav, without someone being hurt." At Nevvcomb's trial Dr. Eastman and Dr. Grubbs, both of whom have attended him, were the principal witnesses. They agreed that hia ailment was softening of the brain and was incurable, growiug worse instead of better. Newcomb him self was put on the stand, and demon strated himself incapable of understand ing the simplest questions, 'How old are you?" he was asked. "There were three of them, ana they all work in the mines," was the unfor tunate man's reply. "Are you married?" 'Yes, I know several people who can take these things off (meaning the hand cuff. Who put them ou?" "Where do you live?" "Yes, I'll fight if you fellows want to, but I can't fight with these on." Newcomb resisted being taken out of the court room, but he was finally hus tled into an express wagon and driven to the insane asylum guarded by three de puty sheriffs. Newcomb is a man about 34 years old, of fine appearance. He is an intelligent man with intelligent eyes and wore a neat suit of gray clothes. His wife lives at 1209 Fillmore street. He has lived in Topeka seven or eight years. COUNTY TAX LEVY. Comtnisioner beven Fix Mill. the Z.ry The board of county commissioners has been in session yesterday and today.

A Wild Buying Panic on the Board of Trade DUE TO DRY WEATHER. Very Bad News from the Corn Crop All Over the West Responsible for the Bulre. Chicago, Aug. 7. The board of trade was the scene of a wild buying panic to day, corn shooting up at a dizzy gait and carrying wheat with it The drouth in the corn belt was unchecked. The weather bureau showed no sign of relief from the blistering winds that are sweeping over western cornfields withering the growth and destroying the crop, and excited bro kers clustered about the corupit eager to buy. At the tap of tho bell a wild struggle for holdings began.- Shorts were frantic, and at every jump in the price with its consequent losses to them, lought more fiercely for cover. Belore 10 o'clock corn had gone up seven cents in long and sensational jumps, and wheat with its heavy load of bearish influence had struggled 2J4 cents up the scale. The visitors gallery was soon filled with spectators, who climbed upon the seats and leaned over the railings, watch ing the yelling, howling mob of specu lators on the floor. Holders with visions of sudden wealth held on to their grain until offerings were as scarce as rain storms, and shorts, with visions of equally sudden disaster, grew wilder as the ses sion advanced. The market, which a few weeks ago had no bottom, now seemingly had no top, and, passing wheat, corn continued an advance that has been seldom equalled ou the Chicago board of trade. The raging bullish features, of course, were the hot dry winds sweeping across the already parched cornfields; the pub lished official reports that over a large section of Nebraska, the farmers would not raise enough corn to keep them from starving and the extremely bullish Iowa crop report putting the crop prospects even lower than tho speculators had guessed, and the fact that corn in Liver pool was reported 2 pence higher. The trading in corn at the start was of the wildest description, the shorts strug gling to snap up whatever was offered that could be got at, regardless of pre vious prices, or prices in other parts of the pit from that in which each was en deavoring with might and main to lift himself out of the financial hole into which his previous sales had plunged him. As a consequence, the opening price for September corn was anywhere be tween 545g and 58c, in different parts of the pit, against oiJtg, at the close yester day and by jumps of halves and cents, the price quickly advanced to 60c, or 6T-q cents above yesterday' last figures. Then it as suddenly pluuged down to 58c, sold at a bound to 59 cents, then to t50 cents. This gain, of course, could not last, and the most urgent cf the shorts having waded ashore, tho strain eased some what The price sank, at first by cents and halves, with an occasional slight re action, until 10:35 a. in. it was quoted at .oo1. Alay corn opened anywhere from 50 to 52J against 48J-g at the close yes teraay and advanced to o'JJg, or a clean advance of 5 cents, breaking off later to W heat struggled to keep up with corn. September opened at 553 55 5g against 54 at the close yesterday and advanced to'ooj-a, a jyain of cents over yester day's last figures, and at 10:35 a. in., was selling at 55;-a(50. Oats sympathized with the other grains, September which closed yester day at 30g, opened at 32i?32;?.Bold at 34 and at 10:35 was back to 32 Aj. Prices however remained comparatively steady since the opening flurry and sub sequent reaction. September corn at noon was quoted at 58; September wheat at 5C4. The reaction after the opening boom was assisted by the weather bureau's prediction of rain in Iowa and Nebraska today or tomorrow. CORN JL'ili'S AT NEW YOltK. The Corn Itlngr CrowJad With Brokers Thlt Hornlnj. New Yokk, Aug. 7. This morning the corn market started out with a 2-ceut jump over last night and increased in a lew moments to 5 cents, while at the west the anxious buying of shorts was putting prices up 1 and 2 cents at a clip, until a gain of fiJa cents had been re corded, and mauo corn considerably higher than wheat The excitement here during the ad vance was naturally intense, and the corn ring was crowded with brokers trying to cover their short contracts. The founda tional rise in corn still rants ou the bad crop news and a report today that the Iowa crop bulletin would show a condi tion of 4l per cent. Won't Lase Their JJepreaentatlvea. Last fall it was reported that the three counties of Grant, Seward and Stevens would lose their representatives iu the legislature because they had failed to cast the requisite 200 votes. This was given out on the basis of the vote for judge, which was 194. Now Chairman Breidenthal of the Populist committee, has received word from the clerks of those counties that the highest votes were above the necessary 200, aud they accordingly will be enti tled to representation.

STATE JOTTHNAT,. TUESDAY EVENTXG. AUGUST 7. 1891. A BETTER FEELING aid to Prevail Among Tariff Conferrees. the Surprise Expressed Over for a lioiue Caucus. Call CHAIRMAN VOOIIUEES Is No Longer With the Senate ilunarjt rs. YV-AsnixoTON-, Anr. 7. "When the Democratic conference adjourned yes terday there seemed to be a better feeling- amonif the conferrees than at the close of previous sessions. Mem bers from both houses announced the committee had been workin? over the schedules and that progress was being- made, but they d d not indicate when a report would bs readied, thong-h some of the conferrees e.tpress?d the opinion that an agreement was in sig-ht. For a considerable portion of the day the senators were not in the confer ence room, but it wa state 1 no sig" Dificunce was to be attached to that fact, as they were working- toward an aji-pem-Dt. These seaators occasion ally repaired to the committee room of Senator Vest, and so-net'imas were In consultation with iK-mocratic man ager in the room of the committee on appropriations. Considerable surprise was expressed by the conferrees when they learned that a call for a house caucus had been made, and it evidently was very distasteful to the house members, who had felt tney were bejinuing to sco an agreement. Cha'rmaa Voorheas of the finance committee, has been unable to attend the conference on account of ill health, and is stiil cobShbJ to his house, lie has not yet been heard from on the points now at issua among- the conferrees. It has been assumed he stood with the senate conference manajers, not only far the senate duty cn sugar, bat also for a duty on coal and iron ore. He announced the contrary n an interview with a reporter who called upon him at his house and asked him for his views. He talked very freely, advocating- such con cessions on the part of th? senate aa would br!n about a speedy agree ment, and took stroncr ground in favor oZ yielding- to the demands of the liousti for free coal and free iron ore. THE TAIilFF MIDDLE. A Caucus of the Haute Democrats to Ba Held to Ilu-U4 trie Situation. Wasuin'Otox, Aucr. 7. A house Dem ocratic caucus on the ti.ri is likely to be jeld at 3 o'clock to- lay. The peti tion for a c:ill was circulated yester day as a result of reports that the con ferees were making little progress. Th, call was in response to a petition tinned by lifty-three members of the house. Aitions- the sijj iers were Rep resentatives i-pi-inrer, IJynum. Biac'i of Illinois, Hooker, Gerry. Ue Forest, Euloe. Buckner of 'Waitiing'ton, Eng lish. Iiailey, Patterson, Sperry, Allen, ilcNaney, Mag-uire and Capehart. Intense feeling- was developed as soon as the caucus mow b g-an. Mem bers gathered in lobb es and talked excitedly for and ajaitst the caucus. Hepresentati ves Strauss, Warner and others friendly to the administration denounced it as a '"tlrfe In the rear. Neither Speaker Crisp cor Chairman Wilson had been consulted as to the caucus, and it was recognized as di rectly in opposition to their wishes. Messrs. Sprinjrer and Uynuni make no concealment of the fact that the caucus is for the purpose of ending the contest by accepti ijr the senati bill. In this connection they quote a Statorrent made to them by Senator Mills to the effect that further house resistance meant the killing of all tariff ieg-islatiora. DEPORT ATIO.V OF ANARCHISTS. Senate BUI I'rniidloe Therefor Is mended and i'nsed. Washington, Aucr. 7. The bill for the deportation of anarchists came up in the senate yesterday and Mr. IJiil explained its provisions. Unless some action was taken by this g-overnment such as was now before the senate this country, ha said, would soon be the dumping- ground for the anarch ists of the world. It was not intended to make the belief in acarchy a crime and therefore no attempt had been made to deSne anarchy. He favored the provision of the senate bill for the inspection by treasurj' ag-ents instead j of by consuls, and was sure no one j eould attribute his att tude on this section to a desire to secure more nit- roaag-e for the secretary of the treas- j wry. There was no politics in the bill and he favored it because he believed it was better than the louse bill. Mr. Lodp-e expressed b -1 ef that both tills were inadequate for the purpose of restricting imoiigrati m.but he was anxious to see some restriction placed on immiji-at.on no mailer how iiyht it mig-ht be. Mr. Palmer pointed cut the diffi culty of dealing- fairly with the ques tion and thedang-er of doinzr injustice to the harmless socialists while pro tect ng- ourselves aja'tst the dang-er Of anarchists. He usked Mr. Hill whether the bill would apply to un desirable persons already in the coun try anl Mr Hill replie I it would. The discnss'on then too-c on ft legal aspect tind hing-ed upon the r.ijht of a coun try to protect itself against the un desirable aliens. Mr. Hill pointed out the moderation of the pending bill as compared with the t.ct recently passed by the English parliament, when Mr. Kyle asked hi:n to more ac curately define the term anarchist, for there were, he said, peaceable aid learned people in lioston who held it was possible for a people to become so highly civilize I as to live tog-ether w thout laws, and, therjfore. according- to the usual definition, they were an arehists. Hill replied tfcey were at liberty to have -this belief, but if they tried to overturn the laws for the purpose of putting- their belief to the test then they became dangerous. After some further debate, and the adoption of some amendments, the bill waa passed and Messrs. Hill, Faulkner and Chaadler were ap pointed conferrees. ROUTINE WOUK IN THE HOCSa Memorial of the Labor Cnlons to Im peach .Juilere Ricks Is Im roiaieiI. Washington, Aur. 7.

It was only three years ago that the association was formed, and its original j scope was not ko broad as that of today, j It was organized in Chicago by about 50 j Burgeons of the national guard of vari j ous staces, at the snggesion of Surgeon i General Senn of Illinois. Its object was then stated to be "the advancement of military and accidental surgery and all things pertaining to the health and wel fare of the civilian soldiers," and the words "national guard" were then part of its name. Surgeons of the regular army, navy and marine service were only admitted as honorary members under the original constitution, but at the annual convention held in Chicago last year the name and constitution were both changed so as to admit them to active membership.

STATE JOITRNATj, TUESDAY EVENTING, AUGUST 7 1894. it el mm OUT. Joe IL Wilson Makes a Fall Confession Concerning the TarsneyOatrage at Colorado Springs. BOWERS IS GUILTY. The Slieriir of El Paso Led the Mob. Denver, Aug. 7. The News says to day: Joe It Wilson, tho Kl Paso couuty deputy sheriff, who was captured by Adjutant General Tarsney ia Missouri, has made a full confession aud given to Chief uf Police Armstrong the names of all the men connected with the outrage commuted in Colorado Springs a few weeiia ago. Wilson was brought back to Denver ai noon yesterday by Odioer Cross and hs spent lait n g.it in the city jail. Oa the train goinr to the Springs in the morning, Ue weakened an 1 to:d every thing that he kuewof the affair. Ia his Btory of tlie experience of the eventful night the names of Sheriff Bowers Deputy Sheriff lJjb Mullins and Captain Saxtit of the uoloraJj Springs militia couiptay wen; often mentioned. Ho couhiui--d the story th it a murderer out of tlie El l'ii-iu cjuutyjaii was allowed to help to put t ir and feathers on Colo raL'a adjutant general. livery derail of the tar and feathers affair is now in possession of tbe Denver oiiicerj, and however high a position the offenders may riold, they will ultimately be br ugut to justice. Wilson's confes sion clearly ilius'iates one point: that is that the crime was committed by the po litical eueimes of General Tarsney, and that the criminals were not the outcasts of the Bull llik army, but men of higher standing in tlie community. According tJ Wilson's story the men eneaged in the disgraceful enterprise were Sheriff Rowers, his deputy sheriff Bob Mullins, aptaia Saxton of Troop A, Serjeant Wiiliaru Bancroft or Troop A, D-puty Sherirl J. R. Wilson, Deputy Q.iaekenljjsh, Sherman Crumley, Walter Crumley, "Snorty"' Allen, Smith Shellen berger, aad perhaps one or two others, including' a woman. The po.ice now have three confessions, those of Wilson, Parker and a prisoner in the HI Paso jail, wiio is being held aa a witness to a murder committed iu Crip ple Creek. These men will all be brought before the grand jury now sit ting in Colorado Springs. Their evi dence has been corroborated and all of the mystery ol the great case hi-s been exploded, and it stands in its nakedness disgrace to the slate uf Colorado. Wilson fears that some day he will re ceive a coat of tar and feathers similar to the one he helped to put on General Tarsuey. Protection was promised by Detective Bales. Then Wilson demand- THE STAR GROCERY The only way to know whethar good ur.j ai advertised is to try a sample ordar.

GTJI ST. JE2. 050 W KM W ed that he should be taken back to Den ver at once. This also was agreed to. Then ha told his story. The conspiracy was a germ born at Gillette and which continued to grow un til Tarsney was found unguarded in the Alamo hotel. The deputy sheriffs at Di vide heard the false report from Denver that Tarsney had uttered the remark: "I hope that every man in Bowers' army will be shipped home in a eaiHn." The night the militia arrived at Gil lette and camped near the deputies, Wil son, Allen and others, backed up by Bob Mullins and members of the company from the El Paso club arranged a scheme to kidnap Tarsney on the spot, but for some reason this was abandoned. On the day that Tars-uey appeared at Colorado Springs for the purpose of as sisting in the defense of the Bull Hill prisoners, the conspiracy to kidnap him was formed. It was freely discussed in the county jail and th3 sheriff's otlice and when once it received odicial support, it progressed. A signal va3 argreel upon. It was announced also mj-jl publicly that ail who desired to taise part in the plot should meet in a saloon oa Tejjn street and enter with their right hand stuck in the vest. According to Wilson's story, Sheriff Bowers furnished to Deputy Sneriff Quackenbosh tar, and Mrs. Quack e ri bush prepared the fathers, ripp.ng open a large pillow. Bowers, iu addi tion, ordered the release of the Cripple Creek murderer and ordered him to fol low Deputy Sherili's Allen and Shellea berger. Deputy Sheriff Bob Mullins hired the hacks from the two Cru alleys and order ed them to drive to the Alamo hotel, lie paid them iu advance. Wilson headed tho party which went into the Alamo hotel, aud he confessed that he was the man who po.ted the gun in Tarsney's face as Tarsney came down to the office to answer the telephone. Bancroft, Al len and Smith, were the other men iuthe hotel office. Haxton, Bob Mullins aud the others waited outside. WiUon described the drive out to the open prairie and said that the most hor rible threats were made against Tarsney. He was told that he was being driven to a place of execution, where he would be tortured to death. His captors gleetully told him they would tirrt quarter him aud then chop off his head. Tarsuey asked for his life, as a ay other man would do under the circumstances. On arriving at the place of torture, Tarsney was dragged from the hack by Allen, Bancroft and Wilson and told to strip. When he was informed that his life would be spared, he shook hands with his persecutois and thanked them. Wilson said that he got tar on las hands that niht and so did Saxton, Bancroft, Allen and the rest. One result of Wilson's confession may be the release of Jack J. .iuilins. Wilson says that Mullins started into the con spiracy, but did not appear on the scene at the appointed hour. Tlie Xein Confirmed. Chief of Police Armstrong confirms the report that Wilson has male a full confession as related in the .News. Wil son is a young man, the sen of a Missouri farmer, at whose house he was captured last week. He was a deputy eheriff at Colorado Springs, where he has resided for several years. He left the city a day or two after the outrage on the adjutant general. Gen. Tarsney hag identified him as tho man wiio poke 1 a revolver in his face at the Alain j hotel, who daubed the tar on him and who led him from the scene of tho outrage after tho other conspirators departed. Bowers Say It' Coi.okado Spkinos, Colo.. Aug. 7. Saeritf Bowers pronounces the confes sion of ex-Deputy J. li. Wilson unquali fiedly false iu so far as it implicates him in the outrage against Adjutant Tarsney. Bowers says hi had no knowledge of the alleged conspiracy. THE CUT IS HADE. Teacher' Salnrie Kedurxl from Five to Inn I'ef Cm lit. The board of education voted unani mously last night to reduce the salaries of the teachers. A cut of ten per cent was ordered on all the employes of the board except teachers receiving less than $50 a inuutn, who are cut live per cent. The cut applies to all janitors. The only satisfaction the teachers can get out of the reduction is that the mem bers expressed regret that tho cut had to bo made. Mr.. MacFarren said he had figured on the tinances before moat of them were aware of the threatened deticit, aud he saw no other way out than a reduction of salaries. The reduction was made, on the recommendation of the finance com mittee, which is composed of Jesse Shaw, Wdiiam MacFarren and J. II. Squires. Chairman Shaw said: "Your commit tee has failed to liud any other way to make both ends meet than a reduction of salaries. 1 am authorized therefore to recommend that ad salaries be cut 10 per cent except the teachers receiving less than $50 a month, who shiil be re duced only 5 per cent. 1 wouli be glad to move that ail teachers getting more than $100 be cut 15 per cent, but we are not tit liberty to cut niuia than 10 per cent." President Welch "Ihe report will be placed on tile." Mr. MacFarren "Do I understand that you wish to carry it over to the next meeting V" Mr. neleh "Not if the board wishes to take it up now. 1 suppose we might as well dispose of it now and take our cussing for it." Mr. MacFarren "I move then, as a member of the linauce committee, that the cut recommended bo made, i hate to make the cut, bat 1 am unable to lig ure our way out any other way." Mr. Beck "1 w.sh. to amend by ex empting from tho cut those janitors who are paid less than u0 a month." Mr. McFarren "1 wouid be. glad to cogent to that, exeert for the reason that we will b3 short as it is, counting the reduction." Alter consi lerable more discussion Mr. Beck's amen iment was defeated 4 to 0 and the original motion as amended carried without one member voting iu the negative. The iiuanca committee made the fol lowing report: Amount available Jan. 1, 1S93. 100.2G4 Surplus from IS 9:2 6.213 Received from state 6,417 Total $112,894 Drawn to Juae 30 8-3,417 Balance. 26,477 4,543 Due.

The -A n ii u n l fleeting:- Last night's session was the annual as well as regular monthly meeting of the school board, li. B. Welch was re-elected president by acclamation aud Jesse Shaw was chosen vice president. Had any new members been re-elected last spring they would have been seated last night. As it was live members who had been re elected were re-seated. Mr. Welch said iu taking tlie chair: "I consider this position the most honorable I have ever held, aud 1 appreciate it more." Applause. The formal levy, tne same as last year's was then declared, of whicii two mills ia on the interest and sinking fund. iitjcli School Jtlii.ter. The high Bchool committee through Chairmau Bock, submitted a report of what is needed to furnish the higu school properly, It was decided that 416 single desifs were needed. There will bo car pet iu the superintendent's, principal's and ladies' toiiec rooms, linoleum in the board room and strips of matting iu the assembly room. Thero will be electric lights in eight rooms aud both electricity and gas in the laboratory. It was voted to buy the superintendent a new desk with a roll-top and also a type-writing table. The remainder of the furniture will be that now in use iu the high school and board rooms. A big marble slab will be placed at the entrance of the building with the names of the present board upon it, so that their names may be Lauded down to posterity. It was decided also that the high school should be opened with for mal ceremonies on the hrst day of school, and Mr. Welch is looking for noiiw great orator to make a speech on that occasion. The failure of the Smead Ventilating company has delayed the construction of the smead system at the high school, so the board ordered a number of Smead's old employes to complete the work and their pay will be deducted from the Smead contract. Such an arraugement is said to be perfectly satisfactory to the Smead people, who appear willing to do the right tning. It is prooable that contractors will be gin a suit to recover som.i extra pav from the board, over the old cement argument that occurred early last fall. Superin tendent Trump compelled the contractors to use Clover Leaf cement as provided iu the specitications, after the contractors had bought a lot of cement said to be of I au inferior quality. I 1 he ui itter of the time for opening the public schools was deferred until the next meeting. 1 The whole board proposes to go out to the new high school scime afternoon and examine the work. Mr. Welch went out there, aud found a room that had no out let except wiudows, and tlie contractor had to cut through the wail and make a door. The board will try and lind some more rooms iu which the contractors for got to make doors. Juiiluri Elected. The board elected janitors for next year for the various schools at these sal aries. It will be 6eeu that the high school is xrovided with three janitors: A li. Imbler, Branner, $45; A. Camp bell, Buchanan, $io; John VVeunberg, lav, $45; Wm. Biythe, Euclid, $27.50; J. W.

One of the bead known educators ia the state said to a Journal, reporter to day: "It is a matter of some comment over the state that the public schools of Topeka are not up to the high standard they were three or four years ago. The Topeka schools used to be models of efficiency and discipline, aud while they are yet ranked among tlie best iu the west, I will tell you what 1 think is re sponsible for their degenerating, and I have arrived at my conclusion after a pretty thorough investigation. "Topeka has too many schools. We have about twenty distributed all over town and six or eight would be plenty. I have reference to big, many-roomed schools. Two iu North Topeka and half a dozeu on this side would be all that are needed. The only objection to this ;s that in some parts of the city the chil dren would have to walk so far. But I believe the walking does them good aud they ought to do more of it. 1 he benelit of such a school system ia very evident. Instead of paying twenty principals, there would only be half a dozen, aud oue teacher could do the work of sev eral, and the janitor's expenses would bo reduced to tho minimum. Fuel and light woai i be lessened, aud out of all the re duced expenses there would bo more mojiey to pay better teachers. I believe tais to be the secret of the whole public school question."

In tho evening there would be frloom find muttered cursor, but, just the same, :i r:riin 0. termination to hold out. When Mr bprhiger started his paper for signcra of a call for a caucus, thero was qv.ito a rush to sign it. Next morning it 7M known tbat, tho r.neakcr and commit tee on rtiln condemned it severely, and several western members quite fell over cacii other in their hitsto to withdraw their names. It v.t.uU 1;o ::;:cli n manifest im propriety," snkl -dr. Traecy, that I won der tiny one failed to eco if, at tho etart." A. Potent I-'actor. r Tho necessities of the treasury were then brought in as a potent factor to impress tho ttal warts thai they ot:Iit to yield at once. On tho lit cf .July, 189u, tho gold in tho trcasv.ry war, ?1G1,0'J2,074, n. year later it; was .'j.Go,CC0,G0J Icsj, and the next year etill less, and f.r on to July 1, 1VJ3, when it was but 500,019,833. It was then tho scaro began, bub on tho 1st of July this year the amount bad ur.k to a little less than f Go. 000,000, and it is now but a littla nbova ?.00, COO, 000. Nevertheless the stalwarts refuse to scare. "I would rather have tho issuo than tho bill, was a com mon fcayiiijj unions western Democrats, meaninp: that they could mabo a better fight in their districts on the issue of presi dent versus Eenafco than on the senate bill enacted into law. And if tho reports are anyway near the truth this view is cor rect, for protests and representations have poured in by thousands, all denouncing the senate bill and calling on the mem bers to stand firm. Even from portions of Senator Gorman's stato most savage de nunciations of him have been e jiit to inem tiers. "Them's nothing in all this," said John Do Witt Warner. "'It i-: the rule in all at tempts to g"t rid of an old abuse, for bavo I not read that "when tho devil joeth out of a man then it teareth him?' Now, here's the Sugar trust pretending to stand in with the planters and claiming that the differential i.i for the good of the planters, antt just look at this iidverti.-;oment," ex hibiting a paper, "whicii it publishes every week. Hero's a horrible picture of the Acaros sacebt-ii, which, they say, is in till kinds of eujrnr except their kind of refined, and thoy warn tho people against tho planters' Biiprar. I tell you if that Sugar trust, instead of getting differential, bad to pay tho government one-eighth yes, or one-quarter of a cent a pound on all it refines it could stiil make money and con trol tho business in this country." And with this be laughed even more exuberant ly than usual. Ordinarily when Mr. War ner talks to a reporter ho only laughs at tho end of each long sentence, but when he is fighting mad bo laughs all the time. Through all these days of distraction he has been thundering against tho Sugar trust liko Cicero against tho oppressor of Africa. To To Great Things Tho Republicans, of course, enjoyed the racket, but many of them grew anxious to get away. "Wo wanted to be at home by the 1st of August," said Mr. Doolittle, "for on that day our great interstate fair at Tacoma was opened, and from all ac counts It is a far greater success than any one bad anticipated. Tho buildings are very fine and substantial, as the fair is to last till lata in tho fall, and all tho first class oxhibits from the Midwinter fair at San Francisco aro already there. The mountain states Generally join in it, espe cially Oregon, Idaho and Montana, and so does British Columbia. So it is not only an interstate but an intercolonial fair, and even from Alaska and tho islands of the Pacific thero ara important exhibits. We are bound to do rreat things, you see, in spito of the tnriiT bill. It will hurt us, of course, but Washington is too great and rich iu natural resources to bo held back by tho Democratic party. Tho really mean thing about this ra V:et ii that it keeps us hero when we could enjoy oux-selves so much at home." Tho Indiana men also got nervous, as their stato convention cotui s on tho 10th, and their constituents are literally Hood ing them willx protest:!. "'I don't believe tho peoplo will turn out to hear speeches this fall," said one. "Thero is too much discontent. They are tired and clUgustcnl. Tho only thiugtod 5 to -see. them at their homos, and wo must go to them frankly and say: Von sent us to Washington to do a certain thing, .and wo bavo not done it. Wo bavo tri.-d and have done about half of it. Now let's bavo another battle and try for the otiu r half.' Ono of the curious features of the racket has been that the factions from c a; f. and west who were feo much at out.? on silver and other thinrrs arc "united on this. The New York end Brooklyn members ara quito as stal wart asthosofror.i Missouri and Arkansas. Early in the db-put-j Mr. Coombs said to your correspondent: "Too many of you men in tho' gallery have been predicting the surrender of the house. Now, I would not tako that position if I wero you, fur i his bouse is getting its ncrvo up. Of course w j have some weak members there are always some fellows anxious to go home, but tho trend of sentiment is not that way. Lotus rc6 into a caucus with an opportunity for frco talking, and tho btalwarts will diivo the timid men quickly, 'xhia house is not in a mood to surrender. The Oilier l'eliow. ''And what about tho senate?" "D you remember that cartoon of Nast's in tho days of the Tweed ring reve lations that one where all tho members tof tbe ring wcro standing in a circle, each pointing to tho ono behind him and say ing, 'lio did it?' Well, if you'll notice, you will sco that it is just that way in the scnato till you get to Gorman. Every man of them says that he favors a freer bill, but can't get the otber fellow to con sent all of them except Gorman. He doesn't point at any ether fellow. Among the many minora circulated was ono that Highest of t2 in Leavening Power. 1 xs. sszzmm 1 -3f the president really wonted to postpino action on the bill till IiCfm'r In ordpr that it might bo tho jreat issue in tbe campaign and thus keep out tho silver question. Much legislative-work was done tvoa in tlie most troubled days, hut all of it of a rouiino kind, and except for the tariff thero was rsot'-ing- iu congress for several days to oi Ua t.;o j embers or in terest tbe peon'". THE LA150II TOTE IX OHIO. An Attempt lv ,J Mctlri-te to llollver It (O tllA l'l)UUth Columbus, O., Aug. 7. An effort is on foot to organize labor unions in Ohio into a political party. Whether or not it is to bo an independent movement cannot be said, but there are circumstances that suggest a fusion with the Populists. John Mciiride, who conducted liio coal miners' atrik in the e.irly summer, is at the head of the movement and has called a state convention to be held at Colum bus, August lo, to be composed of rep resentatives of the United Mine Work ers, the American Railway union, the Knights of Labor and the Association of Street Kailway employes, to nominate a state ticket It is siguilicant, however, that the day selected for holding this convention is the day preceding the Pop ulist state convention. The leaders of the movement claim they will poll 200,001) votes in the Btaie this fall aud will elect two congressmen in Cincinnati aud two in Cleveland. There is one significant thing in the call which shows the trend of thought in he minds of tho leaders of orgauized abor. The call says; "Until lately a strike was considered a legitimate method of industrial warfare, but as the law is now applied it practi cally restrains workiugmeu from strik ing to redress grievances or to ameliorate conditions, and punishes by line and im prisonment those who direct tliem." 'ihe call pr fesses to have no faith in securing recognition "at the hands of either the Republican or Democratic party," but au omission to include the Populists give3 color to the belief that the leaders have some faith in that or ganization and will make au effort to de liver the votes of the workingnien in Ohio to it. icBride speaks so hopefully of the adoption by the Populists of pledges to organized labor that it is a suggestion that tho pledges have already been made and require only formal rati fication by the Populist convention. linvR Vou Sfeo Some of the $10.00 suits made to your measure at Althen Men amis', 610 Kan sas avenue.

What this congress nuedi more than 8,uythiag else is to be prcrogued. Chairman Bp. eidentiial's explanation of Justice Allen's letter ia very clever, but not convincing. Allowing the house to ratify the sen ate schedules is what tte senate calls making concessions. The reports of the indecent Indian dances itidict'e that Chicago has over looked some of her opportunities. A bad fire has just taken place at No wa-ta, Indian Territory. No-won-da, there was nothing to put it out with. The unusual feature of the discovery of frauds in the Carpeii er armor works Is that the proprietor isn't a philanthro pist The largest nail fac.ory h.is started to work night and day. Campaign lies It Beems are already beginning to affect the market. TnK emprfrur of China has divested LI. prime minister of the yellow jacket, and it luokn l.ke the old fellow was get ting a little waspish. A fire in a lasetuli grandstand at Chicago Sunday, caused a panic among the spectator-". When the umpire dis covered it he called it ou'. There are no; in itiy iteu who would envy the last relay bicycle rider when he hands that letter to Governor Waite and tells him it is ficm Cleveland. Congressman Harris.' daughter has eloped with a liveryman. A man with all the horses and buggias he wants is a little moro than the average girl can re sist. Carlisle is reported to have said that the treasury was virtually bankrupt. "And the Democratic tarty is responsi ble for it," he mijht have ailed with equal truth. Col. Dick Blue in explaining his views on the mouey question says he goes farther than the Republican plat form. If ha has any views at all he is certainly greatly in advance of that in strument. Cosgrf.3s.man Brtan has now formally announced hi candidacy for the United Btates senate. When a Democratic rep resentative says he won't run again, it is only a question of what the other thing Is he is after. From a synopsis of thi work of this congress, it appears that about all it has dona has been to pass deficiency appro priation bills. From all appearances that will also be the principal business of the Holt congress It is said the senate coaid adjourn in three days with the tariff b.ll once dis posed of. It could alsa dispose of the tariff bill in three dys, but that would look too much like they were the ser vants of the people. Now that labor organizations have de cided not to btnka any mre, but to vote, you will see that the people who shrieked the loudest about the striies will shriek Just as loud about the way the labor or ganizations vote. Nothing appears to suit these shrieking e ple. Alvah Sheldon of Eidorado, speaks out in the irritation of Lis soul: "The uncultured newspaper follers still ape the lawyers and refer to 'the above,' 'the above named,' 'the aboe mentioned. They belong to the same class who write locals, 'see John Smitn for epring greens before purchasing elsewhere;' 'Sam Jones' horse got (which is au action verb) frightened, overturned the buggy and threw him to the ground' (instead of to. the moon); 'the widow woman, Sirs. Simpkins, is out of soap and needs aid'; as regards,' for regardi lg. Decoration Day for Memorial Day, and a lot of other atrocities making life burdensome to the careful loader." C. WOOD DA VIS' PRICE FOR WHEAT C. Wood Davis ia still so mad at every body because wheat went down to forty cents when he said it would g J to $2, that he writes a long letter about Jerry Simp son abusing him for it; but Jerry has been sick in bed f r six months and couldn't help it. C. Wood Davis' proph ecy makes one think of Jabez Smith set ting o3 the fireworks. Jabez said, "This firework, ladies anl gentlemen, will t?o up and bust and become a eagle." But It didn't; it went down into the gras-, scaring the people to death, singeiog tha girls' dresses and causing three or four runaways among the horses. C. Wood Davis' price for wheat that was to soar aloft went most lamentably the other way. The trouble with .Mr. Davis was that he d.da't reckon on the Earopeau money kings who are ruuning the finances of this country. They didn't iatenl wheat to go to two dollars and it dida't. BflYA-V'.-i XJ'JW PAIiTY. Congressman W. J. Bryan of Nebraska has declared his candidacy for the United Btates senate oa a platforoi of his ovn building. This platform is neither Democratic, Republican nor Populist, and yet it follows so closely the lines laid down in the Omaha plat form that it is not difficult to sea that ha hope3 to win the united support of the Populists and the anti-administration Democrats of his state. He declares for: Tariff for revenue only, a graduated income tax, frea coin age of silver and gold at the ratio of 1(3 to 1, for the abolition of all banks of is sue, the issue of legal tender paper mouey redeemable ia coin, the prohibi tion of contracts for the payment of any particular kind of money. In favor of the election of senators by popular vote, limiting the presidency to one term, lib eral pensions and government ownership of railroads to a limited extent. If it be Mr. Bryan's desire to launch a new party on the sea of politics, he has made a good beginning. He has an nounced that he will stump the state in advocacy of these principles, and as ho has recently become the owner of the Omaha World-Herald, he will also make that a medium for the diemination of his views. The Democratic administration is get ting little comfort out of the conventions of the party which are assembling and making platforms from day to day. From reading the reports of these affairs as sent out by telegraph it is easy to see that in most instances it is with the ut most difficulty tnat an absolute condem nation of Sir. Cleveland's course is pre vented. It is a rare case when a conven tion of his party ex.euds to him a word of praise. When anything commenda tory is said of him it is usually dotia in a half-hearted way and gets through by a scratch, and is followed I y a declaration in favor of tlie free And unlimited coin age of silver. Xjthwithsta iding these daily occurrences, .Mr. Cleveland and his congress go straight aiie.ii m the course he mapped out in the beiuuin. Evi dently the proverbial brick house would uot affect the president; nothing lejs than the dome of tue capitol or the Washington monument would ea ch his atteution. Cornelius llt.KZ has just been sen tenced to five years' imprisonment atid to pay a fine of 3,00 J francs by the French courts for his part in the Panama canal swi&die. Cornelius went over from San Francisco for the purpose of engi neering the gigantic scheme for robtiuig the French people. His fate should be a warning to others in his line not to leavn so good a field of labor, arid one where there is so much immunity from serious con-equenc33, as the United States for new and untried territory, lie might have prosecuted hii business here without serious molestation, especially if he had first taken the pains to get. hi;a self elected to the United States senate. Senatorial courtesy can be relied upon to protect a man in any kind of thievery. We worked like Trojans four jeirs ago to send to congress Honest Ben Clover and he fed in love with a g-irl with red slippers, all we. got out of it was a package of gardau seeds. Then we seat down Mr. PeHer and male him senator, Mr. Peiler worked his son in as a mem ber of the Oxuard Sugar company with a big salary and Mr. PellVr bucKed the tariff bdl oa a bounty for sugar. The:i we sent down that grand man, John .Mar tin, who made a speech here for free trade salt aud free trade le id, when he got to Washington ha Hutchinson Sail company made him declare for a tar. IT on salt and the Galen t feil.is trials him staud up for a tar.if on leal ore. Cha nute Blade, Democratic. It does seem as if a Democrat had about as little to be proud of in Kaasas as auy state in the union. If the farmers of the s;ate are op pressed and starving to death, how is it they have so much to feed strikers with as they are doiug in several places? It is certaiuly laudable to help those who are hungry or in distress, but liov is it the debt-ridden, poverty-strio'ken faruies as thd Populists call them, have fcuch a great superflux? The telephone business ought to be a paying one in Holland and Germany, so many people there have a von. A jiood Apprlite. Always accompanies good health, and an absence of appetite is au indication of something wrong. The universal testi mony given by those who have used Hood's Sarstparilla, as to Its merits in restoring the appetite, and as a purifier of the blood, Coastitutes the strongest recommendation that can be urged fur auy medicine. Hood's Pills cure all liver ill, billiaus ness, jaund.ee, indigestioa, sick head ache. 2o c Topeka Drug Co. is ready for busir ess. D. Holmes, druu:, oi jxanaas ati SHIPS AND SOLDIEES. THE FIGHTING FORCES OF THE CHI NESE AND JAPANESE EMPIRES. Some Sny the Celestials Can Cluster a Mil lion lien of Arms on Short Notice Ja pan's Army Smaller, but lietter Drilled. Tlieir Navies Analyzed. It seems to be generally conceded that, so far as mere members go, the government of the Celestial Empiro can count on many moro fighting men than can that of the land of the chrysanthe mum in the war that seems now to have really been begun over the Hermit Kingdom, as Korea is often termed. On tho other hand, it is claimed that the Japanese soldiers are better drilled and belter equipped than aro the Chinese, and better fighters to boot, and that by reason of these things Japan has an ex- A V nrfS- JLv KOREA A.VD HER XEIGHSORS. Tiellent chauce of winning. In the long run, however, say the students of the history of these oriental nations, China will hold herowD, and more. Her popu lation is eo enormous as' to bo practical ly inexhaustible, and her resources are great almost beyond computation. She cau therefore put up an excellent fight, even after suffering what seems to bo a crushing defeat and long after the fight ing men and tho material resources of her island rivals have given out. Un less Russia or some other occidental power interferes, say these students, China's hold on Korea, though it may bo broken for a time, will be renewed and will continue. This view of the probabilities seems to be amply borna out by the facts of history. There have always been jeal ousies between China and Japan, and the two empires havo almost always been at loggerheads over Korea. A lit tle more than 800 years ago in 1592, to be exact they had a big war over the littlo peninsula. Japan won every battle but one and completely invested tho land. For several years Korea was tributary to the victors, but China's population being so great she was able to send new relays of fighting men year after year, and the contest became 6uch a drain upon the resources of Japan that when tho emperor under whose reign the war was begun died the Jap anese troops were withdrawn, and Korea has ever since paid tribute to China. It is understood that the Japanese author ities fully realize the truth in this mat ter, and thrt therefore their disavowal of any design of maintaining control of the peninsula is sincere, their object in lrii:gin,7 on war being merely to pro tect their treaty rights in Koroan ports. The Chinese army available on short notice numbers almost 1,000,000 men. There is, first, the division known as "tho eight banners," including Mant choos, Mongols and descendants of the Chinese who in 1G-J4 joined their for tunes to those of the invael' rs, 123,800 men in all, of whom 100,000 aro tin derstood to bo annually reviewed by the emperor himself. The "Ying Ping," or national army, numbers about 650,000 officers aud men all told, the total forces of tho united armies thus being 879, bOO. Not all of this immense force can be taid to bo active. Captain Nor m vi describes the active army in detaiL The army of Manchuria, 70,000 mon, is divided into two corps, with headcnar t( rs at Tsitsihar and Mukden. Thi3 array has the Manser rifle and Krupp Celdpieccs. Tho army o? the center, with head quaittrs at Kalgtr, has 50,000 men, j which may be douoled in time of war, j and is armed with Remington rifles, j The Turkestan army, large, but how j large Captain Norman does not state, could not bo utilized in a foreign war, j probably because it is constantly em- ployed maintaining order in the western provinces. The territorial army of "braves' numbers 200,000 in time of peace and may bo increased to 600,000 in timo of war. j There aro those who claim that these estimates of China's military strength are too high. For instance, a German offie-er of rank, who entered the Chinese service during the Franco-Chinese war and labored hard to improve the effi ciency of the army, places its total effect ive force at about 300,000. The Chi nese emperor, unlike occidental poten tates, says this German, had no personal relations with the army. In fact, ho re gards it uan inferior service. In tho yftirs of the Taiping rebellion it was different. Then the soldier was Ly all I CHTXESE WARSHIP LAI YUAN. odds the most important man of every neighborhood. If he were a private, he drew only 2 cents a day pay, but the government furnished him with his house, and the house had a garden, the tillage of which would furnish plenty of food. In those days the soldier was practically a policeman, and he was numerous enough in every province to put down all traces of insurrection. When war with an outside power te French came, in 18S3, all this was changed. No longer could the soldier Qive in a hotise'and till a garden fur bished by tlio government, no longer could he bo a family man and police man first aud a soldier afterward. The consequent change ha3 brought about a great lack of enthusiasm on the part of the soldier, largely because of his hav ing to give up the house angarden, but it has also brought much more effi cient arms, for tho flintlock and epear have been replaced by rapid fire breech loading rifles, and there has been some attempt made to introduce discipline. The Japanese army is organized on a tmiform conscription system. All males must 6erve for seven years, the period of service beginning at the age of 20. Three years are spent in tho active branch of the army and the other four in the reserves. After quitting the army of reserve they become members of the landwehr for five years. All nieu between the ages of 17 and 40 not mem bers cf the active, the reserve or the landwehr army are members of the landitrum and may be called on in emergency. In 1892 the active army was comported of the imperial guard and eix divisions. The guard numbers 6,207 officers and men, 40 field guns and 55S horses. The six divisie'ns are: Infantry, 83,925 ofacers and men; cavalry, 1,302 ofScc-rs and men and 1,14(5 horses; ar tillery, 5,435 officers and men, 240 field and 120 mountain pieces and 1,655 horsep; engineers, 2.0 75 officers and men; train, 2,108 officers and men and 1,740 horses and miscellaneous service. The total of the active army on a peace footing, including the miscellaneous Eervice, is 6G, 103 officers and men, 314 field guns, 15t5 mountain guns and 8,791 horses. There aro besides a thousand or so gendarmes, 8.000 or 4,000 "yeo manry" and about 2,000 officers and students attached to the military schools. The reserve numbers C9, 554 and the landwehr 99,176, the total effective force, exclusive of the landftrum, that could bo counted on in caso of war be ing not far from 273,000 men. This number could undoubtedly and proba bly in case of extended hostilities would be greatly increased by some system of volunteering or conscription. The Jap anese make their own 6mall arms, am munition and ordnance Probably the navies of the two em pires will play quito as important a part in tho drama as the armies. China's navy has been added to greatly during the last docade and a half. It now in cludes one first class, one second class and three third class battleships, nine vessels for port defense, nine second class, 12 third class and 35 lower class cruisers, two first class, 26 second class and 18 third class torpedo boats, besides two smaller craft. These vessels are TARUHITO ARISrGAWA. Commander in chief of Japan's army.J divided into the north coast squadron, the Fnchrm squadron, the Shanghai flotilla and the Canton flotilla. The largest ships in the Chinese fleet were built in European yards, but some of tho torpedo cruisers, gunboats and dis patch boats aro products of the imperial yartls at Fnchau. Tho Japanese fleet has been described as a "purely defensive force of tho mo bile character without coast defence vessels." The vessels are five armored cruiserj, nine second class cruisers of between 2,000 and 5,000 tons each; 23 third class cruisers, 15 of w hich have a speed of 10 knots and upward; ono first class torpedo boat and 40 second class. The admiralty department cf the Japa neso administration is counted of great importance. The principal dockyard ia at Yokosuka, the naval school is at To kyo, and thero are two naval districts, at the head of each of which is a vice min ister subject to the naval minister at Tokyo. The fastest boats in the Japanese navy are the Yoshino and a new ship yet un named both of steel and capable of mak ing 22 knots each. The new boat is set down somewhat indefinitely as "build ing. Whether she is nearly completed or not I cannot say. Tha Yoshino ia 350 feet in length, of 46 feot aud 6 inches beam, and with a displacement of about 4,000 tons. Both the Yo&hino and the new ship are Japan built, and 60 is the Akitsushima, a vessel of 19 knots speed. The armament of all the 22 principal ships cf the Japanese tiavy is said o bo excellent. The Lai Yuan, the Chinese ship of which a picture is given with this ai ti de, is a double bottomed steel ship car rying Compound armor, of good speed and excellent armament. None of the Chinese ships is as fast aa the fastest of the Japanese, 16 knots, the rate at tainable by the Knaugting, built at the Fnchau yards, being the maximum re ported speed. Korea, where most of the fighting will be done, figures but little in specu lations as to tho outcome of the fight be tween her big neighbors. Tho Korean army numbers not more than 5, 000 men, stationed at Seoul. They have been drilled by American instructors and na tive officers, and two of the regiments are equipped with Remington rifles. A battery of Gatling and one of Krupp guns is also stationed at Seoul, and a force of 500 cavalry has lately been or ganized, armed with carbines and swords. Theoretically there are 1,200, C0 men in Korea that may be called rpon in case of necessity; but, in fact, not one in 100 of them could be made available if called upon. The Korean navy is like the snakes of Ireland.

The license collector ia collecting money from teujile I iiever dreamed would be required to pay a license, aud I think there is a majority of the mem bers of the council who did nut under stand the provisions of the ordinance. I would like to tee a new ordinance passed and move that the matte- be re ferred to the committee on liceasa." Councilman Bradford protested that the ordinance had already been passed and coull not be referred. Jiuyor Harrison "'The committee can consider the ordiuanca and report a new one."

Councilman Eurgess called up hia res olution providing tor a wa chman for tiie ivausas avenue Lridee and this led to a discussion of the condition of the bridge. Councilman I3urgess said: ''We have -nvestigated the matter of a bridge vaichman and have found tht the police a ill respect his position aud recognize his authority. We could select someone who could keep the bridge in repair." Couoc.miau Eulinger "Ihu bridge hits had entirely too much tixing al ready." Councilman Stevens "I am not in fa vor of iucreasiug the Salary list, but I understand that t ae city is now almost free from sickne-s and o 19 man might be spared from the sanitary force." Coiinciim m iloim iii "it has always teen the business of the police to look after the bridge. I spoke to Mr. Whit big and he said they could loo t after it. I ii:u not in favor of spending ?-P or $-o'J a mouth to iscare people into building a bridge." Cou ccilrnan Bradford ''No one ever thought of making such a threat. The bridge oscillates umL't the weight of one man, aud is ia iriiueJiau danger of fall ing. It is necetsury to wa'.ch the bridge and have a man who can repair it Tho police won't do iL" Councilman Stephenson "Wo are try ing to vota for the wrong thing. The bridge needs a new lloor aud new wood worts. I huve talked to bridgeineu, and they say the irou part of tho bridge is all riglu and wid last, for fifteen years if kept properly tightened, but that the wood vofii needs rebuilding.' CoiiiiCdmau Bradford doubted if a brii jv."ian had ever said the iron was safe, .id Councilman Criggs said he understood from a reliable source thai bridgeiuen had said tiie iron work is B-i.fi.

The biil wa3 objected to as out of proportion with the presm-.t condition of the country's finances. Au investigation revealed the fac t that Mr. Hill had charged no mora tuaa the ordinance allowed ind he said his conscience would not allow him to charge auy less.

Mr. Wilsou of An buru lale, then arose and introduced aa objection to tho llickey Lumber company's ua cf the park for storage purposes, but as he wa? convicted of trying to regulate the af fairs of a part of the city not his own, his objection was dropped overboard. Mr. Wilson was a road overaeer once in In diana, by his own confession, and all his official dignity has uot yet been rubbed oil. Judge J. B. Johnson chipped la thirty dollars for the privilege of connecting his sewer with that of Potwin.

Their Nsmben Have Increased Until They Are Nearly Beyond Count Tablecloths for toncheom Art No Longer Au I it The doily is in great demand. Its numbers have increased and added unto themselves until now they are nearly beyond count. The very latest of all is the wine glass doily, and au thorities declare that a full set must include all sizes and sorts from it to the big- one which forms the center piece. But without going- quite so far as that, one can set a very charming table and present an up-to-date appear ance with only a part of the prescribed number. One of the most important of all to the lucky owner of a polished mahog any board is the plate dcily. In it3 e4 v, A TRIO OF DOILIES. latest, most approved f.tj-le it is ten inches square, is linished with a fringe and is embroidered in one corner only. When the table is ltiid these embroi dered bits are all turned toward the center, where they decorate the cloth, and the plain portion is left free for the plate. They are really very deco rative, and if you possess a cozen of them and a few caralTe doilies, besides a centerpiece, you are well f-upplied. The multitude c.f smaller ones will hardly be missed, and you can always console yourself with the thon.rrht that many object to the too great accumu lation of linen bits. The wreath and the bow-knot designs still hold sway. The former is used almost exclusively for tho round doilies, and the latter is scon upon all siz,-s and all sorts. A cbrrming set recently tent to a bride is all done in wreaths of dif ferent itovers, no two beiay exactly alike, and the whole eil'ect is dainty in the extreme. For these only solk" work is used. The flowers are neeessarilj small and do not admit of the more sketchy stj les. The work involved is, of course, considerable, but linen en dures so well and the colors of to-day are made so lasting- that it is thor oughly well worth the duing-. Uibbons and Cowers combined are always charming and suggestive of the best French taste. Just now they are very popular and are rivaled only by the wreaths. Most needle workers make the ribbon solid as well ts the flowers, but one clever woman has de vised a rapid and effective metliod of her own. She first outlines the entire desigri, then fills the space between the lines with sinjj-lc cot stitchinp;. The result is really Htrikmy and well worth the trying-. The contract between the solid flowers and the lighter ribbon is charming and novel, besides being very little work. A most successful desig-n of the sort is of white violets tied with pale yellow ribbon, and it is seldom one gets a better result with even the most exacting work. Luncheons promise to be popular the season through, and the bare table will be much in use both for indoor and the piazza functions. These charming- bits of napery will so find a speedy dt.ruand and may well employ all one's leisure time. Linen is delijhtful stuff to handle in the warm summer days, and an array of well selected silks in a natty basket makes a picture not. to be despised. X. Y. Ileeor.irr. A. rtecir for Tartlets. Mix four ounces of line sugar and four ounces of ground almonds into a stilT paste with the yolks of two eggs; roll it out about a quarter of an inch thick, cut into rounds with a fluted pastry cutler and line some Email tartlet tins with them. Fry them in a toed oven for some hours, remove and leave- them to get cold and firm. Then detach them carefully from the molds, dust over with pounded sugar and fill with strawberries and cream pjreprircd as follows: Put a pound of picked ripe strawberries into a basin with four ounces of sugar and a teaspoon ful of maraschino, let them stand for an hour, then mix carefully and lightly with a gill and a half of whipped cream. JJish the tartlets on a napkin or fancy dessert paper. The Best Kuiniture I'oliah. An experienced cabinet-maker says that the best preparation for cleaning picture frames and restoring furniture, especially that somewhat marred or scratched, is a mixture of three parts of linseed oil u:nl one part spirits of turpentine. It not only covers the dis figured surface but restores wood to its original color, leaving- a lustre upon the surface. Apply with a woolen cloth and when dry rub with woolca. Flowers In Finder Bowls. A very pleasing table decoration that Is easily carried out throughout the summer months is the addition cf flow ers to the finger-bo-vls. Use double bowls, one large enough to hold the other, and fill the space between the two with very hmall blossoms. The effect of dipping the fingers into ilower ineircled water ia decidedly uniaue jjd asrreeatio. V f' JSJfi JOHN Ttc man in elare of fio railroad aid? of trie great strike.

The hardwood floor is comparatively a new feature of the house, and it is not altogether strange that housekeepers do not always know just how to take care of them. Many of them treat them as they do a carpet, sweeping them, with a broom-corn broom, which is in tended well enough to take the dust out of the meshes of a carpet, but not to polish a hardwood surface. The same woman who treats her hardwood floor in this way would re fuse to sweep off her piano with a broom-corn broom, for fear of scratch ing it. She would probably take a soft cotton-flannel duster and wipe off the dust, and this is exactly what she should do with her floor. The most convenient waj' of doing it is to make a soft cotton-flannel bag for the broom. The dust is easily removed from a polished floor in this way. Such a covered broom is also useful sweeping down the walls, though a feather duster accomplishes this work more successfully. There ought to be a number of these broom-covers ready. o that when they become soiled the may be washed. Painted plazas may also be much more successfully swept with a covered broom of this sort than in any other way. Even when it needs a scrubbing-brush, if it is well swept with a covered broom, it will look al most as well as if it had been scrubbed with a brush, and certainly better than if it had been cleaned with a mop. X. Y. Tribune. The Etiquette of tho Fan. There is an endless etiquette in the use of fans, and with the Japanese the fan is an emblem of life. The rivet end is regarded as the starting point and as the rcys of the fan expand so the road of life widens out toward a prosperous future. It is also said that the Japanese ogi originally took its shape from their wonderful mountain, Fuji-san, which represents to them all that is beautiful, high and holy. When one begins to understand all this there comes a salutary feeling of ignorance, and we perceive that the Japanese may claim to be among the great symbolists in the world. A continuance of such study might turn the most hardened European into a Japonophile. To 3Iake Pulled Bread. Tear the crust from a part of a loaf of baker's bread.

"It is fast ened on so that it cannot be removed. It was put on him somewhere abroad, and he is bound by it in some mys terious xvay so that he ha3 to g there whenever he is called." This was certainly something tin usual, and, as my friend could tell me no inore, my curiosity was roused and 1 determined to find out the truth for hi self, if possible. There was no great difficulty in getting- h.q introduction to the g-entle-tnan in question. lie was well known, and thoug-h rather reserved, was ac counted a pood fellow by hia more in timate acquaintances. One evening I brought the conversation round to the subject of hypnotism, and after a little preliminary fencing-, asked him whether he believed in thess so-called mysterious powers said to be pos sessed by some people. "Believe!" replied he; "yes, I do, and in truth I have g-ood reason to, and so would you if you had passed throug-h what I have safe red from theso same infernal powets for that they are infernal I am as sure as that I ain ut present in their g-rp.sp, into which I had the ill luck to fall. Look at that'" said he, suddenly baring- his rig-ht arm to the elbow; "there is the mark of the demons who have killed for me all pleasure in life. Would they had killed mo outrig-ht!" It was certainly a mo.st extraor dinary eiht. Hound his arm, mid way between the elbow aail the wrist, there was deeply imbedded in the flesh a g-oli chain, compose j of massive links of a very peculiar pat tern. At first sight it appeared to bo merely a cleverly tattooed des'g-n. for the links, thoug-h perfectly dis tinct, did not appear to interfere with the continuity of the skiu, but clo.er examination revealed their actual solidity. It was a mystery how such an object could have been so i'nplant ed in the living tissues without, as he assured me, inconveniencing him in the least at ordinary times. Whsn I had exhausted my curiosity aud suffi ciently e-x pressed my !:stonishmtnt, he proceeded, though apparently with considerable reluctance, to tell the story connected with it. "This chain, said he, "which ap pears to you a mere object of curi osity and the result of some mad freak on my part, is to trie a terrible badge and a real bond of slavery. "Ten years ago 1 was in the West Indies, partly on business, partly on pleasure. I had already wandered over a great part of the earth, and wherever I went I made a point of examining- as closely as possible into every strange phase of human life; and my cursed curiosity I can call it by a no more dignified nameled m-s to visit Ilayti. One day I had wan dered into the country, admiring the rank luxuriance of the tropical vegc tation and, unluckily for mtr., having gone too far. I lost my way. Night, the sudden black night of the tropics, came down, and I knew not whither to turn. In these wilds there was no signs of human dwellings, but as I aimlessly stumbled on, hoping sooner or later to light on some trttco of human life or some track wldch I might follow, I saw the glad glaam of lights at no great distance.

So glad was I td be, as I thought, within reach of shelter for the niirht. that I hastily advanced a few steps before a glance at the wild figures, now clearly illu minated by the light of the fire, told me that I ha.d broken in on an Obeah ceremony. "I well knew the fate that awaits uuauthorizerl Intruders on these hor rid rites, and lurnsd to Bee; but I was too late. I had bsen observed, and ere I had taken a eouple of steps backward, a pair of stalwart negroes sprang on me and bire me to the ground. Their knives were already at my throa t, when the leader o? ths band the priest, I suppose, f he can be called a. priest who rr.isides over the orgies came forward, aud with a word rtayed them. Ue appeared to cogitate a few mo ments, then, speaking to the negroes in a jargon of which all but a few words were unintelligible to me. he Ejoke to me in fairly good English..
