P J TWO CENTS, SATURDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, DECEMBER 21, 1S95. SATURDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. A WAYOUT. What Kansas Congressmen Say About Proposed Bond Issue. Broderick Says Congress will Probably Raise Tariff. BUT THE PRESIDENT Will Don btless Veto Any Move in That Direction. Senator Peffer Says Silver." "Pay in From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Dec. 21. Another bond iasue is imminent as your last evening's dispatches indicated. Congressman Broderick when asked what he thought about another issue said: "Another issue is sure to come. I do not see how under the present policy of the administration that it can be help ed. There is a big deficit every month and there seems to be no other way for the administration to raise money, "Congress will raise more revenue probably, by raising some of the sched ules of the tariff but Cleveland will veto this, lie will in all probability not ap prove of any legislation that congress may enact on this line." When asked what schedules of the tariff he thought would be raised by this congress, Mr. Broderick said he believed the tax would be put on wool and cattle and some other of the agricultural sched ules aud ou the luxuries such as dia monds. Senator Peffer when spoken to about the prospect of a bond issue said: "It's coming. That is what ia to be expected from events last year." "Do you mean there was an agreement that there should be more bonds':" "I wouldn't say there had been any agreement but the speculators know what they can do and they have always shown a disposlion to look out for them selves. "If there was a prospect of a Populist being elected president they would make a big haul and quit because of the knowledge they could get no more. "As it is the speculators, the gamblers are in the saddle and they are going to ride the horse as long as he will carry." "What is the remedy for bond issues under present conditions without any further legislation?" "Pay in silver. Simply pay in silver," said Senator Peffer promptly. "When greenbacks are taken to the treasury for redemption 1st them be paid in silver. This was what Secretary Carlisle at first wanted to do but they wouldn't let him. "The law providing for the redemp tion of the greenbacks said explicitly that they should be paid in coin, which means gold and silver. The silver dol lar has never been demonetized. All the treasury has to do is to follow the law. Pay in silver, that is all there is to it." Senator Peffer says there had not been a strong man in either of the old parties who has denounced the manipulation of the bond issues as a great public wrong. He says the Republicans have denounced it for partisan reasons because the Demo crats are responsible for them, tut not because they are an outrage on the people. CONGRESSMAN HUE'S CUTS. The Colonel Slaalie rtoutelle on the Ven ezuelan Mttir. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Dec, 21. The member of the Kansas delegation have not modi fied their views on the Venezuelan ques tion, notwithstanding eastern bankers are busy throwing cold water on the pa triotic wast which isn't afraid to talk "war." Representative Broderick has received a telegram from John Beaton, of Atch ison, Baying: "The people of Kansas, regardless of party, endorse the presi dent's position oa the Monroe dootrine." Mr. Broderick hlms9lf said: "Eng land has long been domineering tho smaller countries and I am glad she has received a check. It makes no differ ence that it comes from a Democratic president. 'The Monroe doctrine is not a partisan issue. It is larger than that. I believe that congresss and the people will BU3 tain the president's position." Representative Curtis said: "The Re publicans were agreeably surprised bv the message. I sua glad to see that the president's policy has at last got a little of Americanism in it. I believe that congress and the American peopie will support the position taken. There is no division here on the course which ought to be pursued. Col. Dick Blue had a lively conversa tion after the house adjourned Wednes day, with Boutelle, who got up and made a spreaa eagle speech counseling moder ation and deliberation. When the speak er had asked if Mr. Boutelle objected to the consideration of the bill, Boutelle didn't object. Co!. Biue, when he met Boutelle later, eaid in a slow, dry way: "You are a ter ribio warlike fellow to hear you talk, but you simmer down into a very peace ful sort of cuss after all." Mr. Boutelle resented this, and said the president's message finally brought the question right down to war, and the Lotted States wasn't prepared for that. Colonel Blue said the country could be ready inside of forty-eight hours, and that nine-tenths of the people of Kansas would be ready to go. Boutelle retorted that Kansas' repre sentatives had persistently opposed meas ures to build more ships so the navy would be on a war footing. Mr. Blue taid opposition to that had come from every part of tne country ex cept that small portion of it which would profit by building the ships. Something was said about the annexa tion of Canada, and Boutelle said: "What da we want with more territory, any how?" U rt hy," laid Mr. Blue, "there is hardly a bit of it that isn't better than that coun try of yours." This derision of his native state rather nettled Mr. Boutelle, who took another spurt on his sophomoric eloquence, and finally rushed off to his desk after a copy of the president's message to read it to Mr. Blue. Representative Calderhead. who was listening to the conversation, said of Mr. Boutelle. "He is a fine fellow to be talk ing about deliberation. He couldn't spout enough about Hawaii If this bill had been one which would have made business for a few Maine ship builders you couldn't have kept hitn still." Commenting on the president's mes sage, Mr. Calderhead said: "It took the president a long time to find the level of American sentiment. It is the first Amer ican paper the president hag ever writ ten." Senator Peffer did not seem to regard the Venezuelan controversy is any serious light In speaking of the matter he re garded it as a good deal of bluster. Asked if the president's position was not a surprise, he said: "Yea, if anything he doea can be con sidered a surprise." Concerning the war talk ha said: "It will all pass away without any trouble. When I was a boy and the Oregon bound ary question came up the cry was, 'Fifty four forty or fight.' Well, we didn't get fifty-four forty, and we didn't fight. The president seems to have simply re sponded to the popular demand for some thing of this kind. It is my opinion that he neither wanta nor expects serious trouble. "We'll get up steam for awhile and then we will feel. better." A PENSION OF SlOO A MONTH. Chester I. Lung Seek to Provide It for a Mexican Veteran. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent. Washington, Dac. 21. Another big batch of pension bills has been intro duced in tu e house by Kansas members. Mr. Long introduced a bill granting a pension of $100 a month to General Joseph A. Cooper of St. John, Kansas. General Cooper is a veteran of the Mexi can and civil wars. He ia 72 years of age. He entered the civil war as captain of company "A," First Tennessee in fantry aud was regularly promoted until the close of the war, wbea he wu3 brevetted major general. For the last IS vears ha nas resided on a farm in Stafford county. Mr. Curtis has introduced bills grant ing J. J. Hitt, of Topeka. $110 for defend ing United States prisoners; T. E. Church who runs a news stand in Topeka, $2,- 876 for property destroyed during the war: Serena M. Clay, $41; for property furnished United State troops during the war. Also pension bills for Maria C. Henrv, Lerov; Matthew Crowley, Lidor- hJo; Nancy J. Johnson, Alma; Joseph JNoggle, Parkville; J. B. Williams, Osage City; Maria Tripp, Emporia. A pension has been granted Mrs. Mary J. Rosenberry, Meade, Kansas, through the efforts of Mr. Long. She will re ceive $S month from April 9, 1894. QtJANTKELlT RAID CLAIM. lone Deferred Hope or Retting $300,090 Out of the National Government. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent. Washington, Dec. 21. The old Quan trell raid claim bill which has been intro duced in the house again by Congressman Blue, calls for the payment to the state of Kansas of claims amounting to $362, 012.40. This covers all of the claims audited and assumed by the state, but does not cover any of the claims not so assumed. The original amount a? presented to the state was $882,390.11 and was audited and allowed by a commission appointed by the governor of the state under the act of Feb. 27, 1875. But under a subsequent act of the leg islature, approved March 5, 1887, these claims were adjusted and assumed by the state in the sum of $362,012.40, the amount mentioned in the bill just intro duced by Mr. Blue. A similar bill was Introduced in the Fifty-first congress and favorably re ported from the committee on war claims; aiso in the Fifty -second and Fifty-third congresses. State Ajent W. W, Martin is here pushing lhe claim and hopes through the efforts of the presont Kansas delegation to get this bill, which has so often been reported favorably, through this con gress. I) It. LINN'S AMBITION. He Wanta to Be a Iteed Delegate to the National Convention. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, D. C, iDec, 2i. Dr. II. C Linn of Topeka, who is now in Washington looking after legislation in which he is interested, will be a can didate for delegate at large to the Re publican national convention at St. Louis. Dr, Linn is a Rsed man and he doesn't care who knows it. He will probably return to Kansas in February or about that time to look after his can didacy. To an acquaintance Dr. Linn said that he never had asked for a position of any kind at the hands of the party and he was not asking now for anything with emoluments. He had always been active in helping others to positions and in working for the party's success. He would like to go to the national conven tion as a delegate at large for the honor of the place. As he had hitherto whooped it up for other people and put in his best licks for the Republican candidates he considered that he might reasonably ask for what was simply an honorary position. It is understood that several strong Reed man in Kansas are back of Dr. Linu ia this move and will do whatever they can to aid his candidacy. Dr. Linn as previously stated makes no concealment of the fact that he is for Roed, so there is no question whose colors he is travel ing under. This is taken as an indication that the Reed men are getting ready to make an organized effort in Kansas and that the McKinley people will not have un obstructed sailing by any means. An April Convention Wanted. Chairman Cy Leland of the Republi can state central committee says he will call a meeting of the committee soon after the holidays to decide the time and place of holding the state convention to elect delegates to the national conven tion. Leland ia in favbr of holding the convention in April, A SHORJSCARE. Threat That Rothschilds would Withdraw $25,000,000 From This' Conntry at Once, Proves a False Runior. CONFIDENCE RENEWED On the London and New York Stock Exchanges. The American "Jingoes" Did It All Say the Bankers with Their "War Talk." A FEW ASSIGNMENTS. Several More Failures Are Re ported Today. Echoes of the War Talk of the Early Week. London, Dec. 21. Public attention here is almost entirely diverted from the political to the financial aspect of the Venezuelan situation. The rumor circu lated in this city that the Rothschilds had decided to immediately withdraw 5, 000,000 ($25,000,000) from America is at tracting great attention. But the Roths childs informed the Associated Press to day that this report, as well as the report of the collapse of negotiations for a United States loan wore utterly untrue aud that no ne gotiations were pending regarding a loan and that the withdrawals of gold from the United States have not been with drawn ou account of the Rothschilds. A representative of the Associated Press also called at Morgan. Brown Shipley's, Mertou Ruse and a number of other leading bauking houses and es pecially those connected with the United Slates. They generally regarded the situation as being more favorable. The head of one of the prominent banking firms said to the Associated Press: "It seems that the political ques tion is now laid at rest by the authoriza tion of the appointment of a commission of sensible men who will have time to make their influence felt. My telegrams show no notices of withdrawals for hoarding." Continuing, the banker said: I am satisfied that nothing serious will come of it." The manager of a house whose influ ence is felt in every big financial trans action, remarked: "If European investors take everything seriously, there is no knowing where the decline will stop. But the outlook is somewhat more favorable today. After all, the merchants and bankers must make their influence felt and we have indications that really serious business men of Amer ica are anxious to undo the harm the jingoes have dona" The stock exchange opened with a ten dency to panic All classes of securities were freely offered; foreign government securities were heavy and the American market wa quite disorganized. In fact it was difficult to obtain quotations. Soon after tho market opened Milwau kee fell 5, Louisville 4, Canadian Pacific 2 and Denver preferred) 3- This was followed by a partial recovery. More lteassuring on Wall Street. Wall Street, N. Y., Dec. 21. Early cablegrams from London today were of a nature to reassure operators on Wall street who in some instances anticipated a repetition of the slump in prices wit nessed yesterday. The heaviest decline noted on the London stock exchange was only l'jg per cent as compared with the extreme break of 5 per cent reported yesterday. The opening of the local mark et, however, was even wilder, than that of yesterday declines extend ing to 9 per cent being recorded. The strain was very heavy for both accounts. Leading foreign representative houses reiterate the opinion that gold will now be steadily shipped to Europe. This view is held by such houses as Lazard, Freres Co., who are usually the heaviest shippers of the precious metal. Rumors of trouble in the street are now current in view of the materiul deciine in prices. There is also renewed talk of action by a meeting of backers to take steps to sustain the treasury gold reserve. This also has not been confirmed up to the present time. The market exhibited a rallying tendency shortly after 1:15, which was possibly due to the announce ment made in the cable advice to the Associated Press that a specific denial had been made to its London correspon dent by the Rothschilds of the rumor that the firm had decided to withdraw $25,000,01)0 in gold from this country and that London bankers were consider ing the question of withdrawing their credit. The panicky feoline seems to have abated to some extent but the speculation is still rather feverish and sensitive. The day came to an end on the stock exchange without any disastrous move ments and prices have sustained much mere strentb. than had been anticipated. TODAY'S FAILURES. Mere Broken Who Could Mot Stand The Strain. New York, Dec. 21. H. K. Burras Co., traders in stocks, today announced their suspension on the stock exchange. It is not believed their failure is very serious. Hatch Bros., of 85 Broadway, have also announced their suspension on the stock exchange. The firm has been dealing In government and railroad securities, and is not supposed to have bad any large lines of stock outstanding on the stock exchange. Philadelphia, Dec, 2L The old established banking and brokerage firm of L. H. Taylor Co doing an exten sive business, failed today. Mr. Taylor makes, the following statement:. The sudden drop in the New York stock market caused unusually heavy calls upon us, and owing to our inability to get money from bur customers quick enough we were' obliged to make an assignment." WE WOULD MiEO $80,000,000, And Two Tear Time To Prepare Onr Coast Citiee For Defense. Washington, Dec. 21. General N. A. Miles, commauding the army, has given out a statement by request, in regard to the ability of the United States to defend herself in case of war. He said: "I have just returned from an inspection of the harbors of the southern coast, and like those of other sections of the country I found them in an entirely defenseless condition. "If war should break out at the present time, all we have in the south, or in fact, anywhere else, with a few exceptions, would be a lot of obsolete guns in rotten carriages which would fall over. We are in a deplorable state for defense. There are only three modern high power guns in position in this country. Two of these are at the entrance to New Y'ork harbor; the third is at San Francisco. "If congress would maKe liberal ap propriations the coasts can be placed in a condition of defense in two years. The work would cost in tne neighborhood of $30,000,000. It would take in the neigh borhood of a year to manufacture the tools for the construction of the guns and then another year fur manufacture of the guns. "There are four ways by which the coast cities could be protected. The first is by floating batteries, that is by battle ships aud monitors. The second way is bv land batteries, wnicn couia Do rmilt quickly and would, be more effective. lhe third way is by torpedoes ana min ing casemates. "Without iiign-powerea guns, How ever, it would be possible for an enemy to land a force and explode the mining casemates, thus obviating this danger for its fleet. "There is another way of protecting the harbors but that involves destroying the commerce of the cities lying upon them. This method is to load vessels with stone, iron, etc., and sink them in the channels. This would uaturaliy pre vent either ingress or egress and would destroy the cities' commerce after a war, as much aa during it, "Regarding the land forces, no diffi culty would be experienced in getting a million men in a month. J he small army we have would be in the nature of a nucleus for other troops. What we need, however, is not men, but coast fortifica tions. After we gel the fortifications, we could get the men to operate the guns. 'Could the united states be invaded: No; nor would any enemy dare to invades it. All tnat would be necessary would be for him to place ships oft our. -coast and fire sheila into -the cities. The fire would drive millions of people from home and cause untold distress. "The wealth of 800 years is stored in BoBton, New York and other great cities, and their loss would be very severe. We could not afford to lose them. They should be protected. "On the Pacific coast the same de fenseless condition exists. Not a shovel ful of dirt has been thrown up around Puget Sound for the protection of cities lying on its shores. The British have a naval station at Esquimal and it could be used as a base against this country. "Senator Squire has introduced a bill in the senate for the protection of our coasts which meets my views. It makes provision for the establishment of forti fications and other defenses recommend ed by the board known as the Endicott board, which was appointed by the pres ident in 1886. The bill appropriates $87,000,000 for this work." BRAZIL IS GKATIFIED. Message of Ceng-rat ulation Sent to the United State Senate. New Yoiik, Dec. 21. A dispatch to the Herald from Kio Janeiro gives de tails of the debate in the Brazilian con gress when in the midst of distinct en thusiasm a cable message of congratula tion was dispatched to the senate of the United States for the message of the president upon the Venezuelan question. The speeches made in the chamber were remarkable in their support of the Monroe doctrine. The congratulatory cable character izes President Cleveland's position as supremely dignified and as a new safe guard of the honor and sovereignty of all American nations. Senator Bocavura, in the course of the debate said that the words of the presi dent of the United States were worthy the chief representative of so great a republic. They in effect announced a policy, which at one stroke in the last days of the nineteenth century would emancipate America in its furthest con fines and annihilate the -last vestige of European control in western shores of the two oceans. Several others expressed themselves in Btrong lan guages. A mass meeting was held in the San Francisco plaza, at which resolutions were adopted upholding the Monroe doctrine. SALISBURY'S PERSONAL FEELINGS Ha Will Soon Express What They Are To ward the United States. New York, Dec. 21. A special to the World from London says: Lord Salis bury through his private secretary, Mr. Barringtot., last night stated he would probably take early occasion te express his personal seutiinents toward the United States in some public address from the platform or at a private dinner. Lord Salisbury made this statement in reply to a request for a message from him in his personal and unofficial capac ity, freed from the restraints of official communication to the American people, expressing the general feeling of the British people toward them. Lord Salis bury preferred to express his sentiments on the subject from a public platform. AMERICA AS ONE MAN. The Entire Western Hemisphere Would Hack the United States. Havana, Dec. 21. La Discuscion has received a dispatch from Madrid giving the opinions of Spanish military engi neers of high rank on the possibility of war between the United States and Great Britain over the Venezuela terri tory. One officer high in the engineer's de partment of Spain's army. Col. Genaro Alus, is quoted as saying that England was treading on dangerous ground. If she should press the Venezuelan affair to a climax, she would soon recognize the fact that there was in reality but one America, and that in a crisis such as the present one, every repub lie on the continent, lrom the pigmy San Salvador to the giant Brazil, would coalesce as if by magic and follow the United States in battle to preserve and defend the integrity of their terri tory against European aggression. It was to be doubted whether England could count upon assistance from other European states. Ponsienn Granted. From the State Journal's Special Correspondent Washington, Dec. 20.

It is not every constituent who writes to his representa tive or senator who is selfish. It is not every one who wants something for him self and is not willing to give something in return. A member of the Kansas del egation has received a letter which closed with the following reciprocal statement: "When you want a favor don't be a frait to ask me for to do you one Yourze trutuly." WHO SHALLBE NAMED Tbe Three Members of the Venezuelan Commission Said to Be Chosen. New York, Dac. 21. A local paper says: Excellent information is that the three commissioners whom the presi dent will appoint to investigate the Venezuelan bouudry will be: Ex-United States Senator George F. Edmunds, of Vermont; Andrew D. White, ex-president of Cornell university and ex-minister to Germany, and Edward J. Phelps, ex-minister to the court of St. James. President Signs the Regolntien. Washington, Dec. 21. The president signed the Venezuelan commission reso lution about 3:25 this afternoon. It is, therefore, now a law. DEAD GAME. Minnesota Warden Seizes Enongta Under the Ciaiue Law for Fines to 879, OOO. Dcxuth, Minn., Dec. 21. Deputy Warden Green made one of the greatest confiscations of gime yesterday which has ever been effected in the state. The haul included almost 3,000 par tridges, six moose heads, two caribou heads, a number of summer and winter moose, caribou and deer hides and a few thousand pounds of fish. The consignor is the Arion Fish Co., the consignee Max Ames, New York City. The minimum fine for each partridge shipped out of the state is $25; for each moose $50. This would bring the fine into the neighborhood of $79,0u0, against the Arion Fish Co., if the company is prosecuted. ANOTHER HOLDUP. C. Jones, Employed at the Topeka C emetery, Relieved of 83. C. Jones, who works at the Topeka cemetery, says he was attacked by two men in front of his home, on Adams street, about 10 o'clock last night, and relieved of $3. Jones says that as he was going into his house one small man and one tall one grabbed hold of him. He threw the smaller one down, and at that the larger of the two kicked him on his right cheek bone. His face is skinned there. The big man got hold of his arms and held him while the small one searched his poekets and took the $3 which he had with him. He telephoned an account of the matter to the police station this morning. The captain drove to tbe cemetery to see him and got the details with a description of the highwaymen. Jones says he knows one of the men. HUHMER IS MISNAMED. Put in Jail this Morning for Failing to Pay Alimony.

Prospect of More Bonds Makes lon don Whoop lor Yankee Boodle. New York, Dec. 21. The grain pit of the produce exchange was stirred from top to bottom today by the following cablegram, which President McCord received from the Balltic ex change of London and read to the crowd of brokers from the rostrum: "At the annual dinner of the Baltic exchange last night 'Yankee Doodle' was received with leud cheers and the health of the United States with three times three."

CABINET MEETINGS There were Two of Them, Which is Unprecedented. The House Venezuelan Bill Passes the Senate. Washikotox, Dec 21. Yesterday was a day of excitement and surprises in Washington. Events moved with rapidity, and when the sun went down public men in all branches of the service were nervous and "worn out from the tension. Reports came of a decline of securities throughout the country, and here in Washington af fairs moved with the rapid pace of a kaleidoscope. The House Venezuelan commission bill was amended in ma terial respects by the Senate foreign relation committee, and then by a sud den i liang-e in sentiment in the Senate was passed unanimously just as it came from the House; then an adjourn ment resolution from yesterday over the holidays was passed by the Senate, only to be followed by an urgent mes sage from the President strongly ad vising prompt action for the reform of our currency system and the mainten ance of pubiic credit. At the other end of the avenue the President and his Cabinet received prompt advices of the course of events here and on the public exchanges. The Cabinet sat two sessions, some thing without precedent in recent years. The financial situation was the principal topic of consideration, and the result of the meeting was re vealed in the message sent to the Sen ate late in the afternoon, that body being kept in session by request from the White' House for its reception. The diplomatic corps here appears to have fallen under a misapprehen sion as to the purpose of the message, whieh may account for the attitude of some of the European newspapers which have received inspiration for their editorial articles from their for eign offices, for it is learned that diplo mats in Washington have in many cases, and certainly in the cases of the representatives of European powers, informed their governments that Pres ident Cleveland's action was dictated purely by motives of political exped iency and was not intended to have permanent results. It may be that the unanimity of support accorded the President by Congress, irrespective of party affiliations, has induced some of these observers of American institu tions to qualify their first advices.to their home governments. Many names have been suggested for membership of the commission. One name favorably mentioned is that of Mr. Patridge cf Vermont, formerly T i i m In the Senate it Was a day of nota speeches by notabla men. The sub ject of war between the United States and Great Britain was the prevailing theme, which found expression in lof ty patriotic sentiments, in stirring ap peals for preparation and defense, in graphic portrayals of the horrors of war, and at times in defiant warnings to the people across the water. By a singular coincidence, the ses sion which was to be marked by such vigorous debate and action was opened by an invocation of classic beauty from the blind chaplain of the Senate, breathing the spirit of good will be tween the two prominent English speaking nations. This was speedily followed by the adoption of Mr. Allen's somewhat ironical resolution calling on the finance committee to in vestigate the needs of the unlimited coinage of silver. At all times during the four hours of discussion the galleries were besieged by an eager crowd, whose patriotic impulses found frequent expression in applause, which the presiding officer sought vainly to suppress. The most notable utterances of the dav were those of Senators Sherrran, Mills, Teller, Lodge, Piatt, Turpie, Chandler, White. Caffrey, Call and Stewart, representing the three shades of political sentiment, and yet in the main uniform in urging the support of the President, vigorous as sertion of the Monroe doctrine, and, if need be, any action essential to main tain the National dignity. There were strong expressions, also, against the panic in American stocks and securities, which it was said the London commercial houses were seek ing to bring about. Throughout the debate, there was an undercurrent of feeling that while the country would not shaink from war if it must come. I yet that such a calamity was not im- minent. Shortly before 4 o'clock Mr. Morgan unexpectedly withdrew the amend ments to the bill, leaving it in its original form. There was no demand for a roll-call, as the sentiment of the Senate was clearly a unit, and by-a loud viva voce vote, the bill was passed without a dissenting vote. This com pleted the legislative enactment of the measure, which, with the signature of the President, has the full force and effect of a law. The passage of the bill was not, however, the only exciting event of the day, for at 4:30 o'clock the Presi dent's message, urging the gravity of Wtie financial situation and calling on i Congress not to adjourn for the holi I days until relief was afforded, was presented to the Senate. Its reading was followed with close attention, but the Senators, absorbed with the stir ring events of the debate, were ready to adjourn without immediate con sideration of the message. The message was not favorably re ceived in the Senate. The summary adjournment, upon the motion fi. Sen ator Cockerell. one of the Democratic leaders, immediately after the conclu sion of the reading of the message, was taken on the Republican side as a disposition not to consider the message seriously. Mr. Cockerell declined to define hi4molio11, or to discuss the question of the propriety of the sng gestion. Senator Hawley said it appeared to him as if the President was in a Bull Run panic, and Senators Teller and Cullom agreed that it looked as if the President was trying to offset the ef fect of his Venezuelan message, and that it was beginning to look as if the President had concluded, from the favorable manner in which the Vene zuelan message had been received, that Congress would follow any sug gestion that he might make. WHAT WIIX BE DONS. Congress Not likely to Take a Holiday Kecess Senators Confer With Read. Washington, Dee. 21. The Presi dent's anti-recess message took both houses of Congress by surprise. It produced a number of conferences last night, the result of which will prob ably be a complete change of plans for a holiday recess, and the inaugur ation of the real work of the session two or three weeks in advance of the time when it would have begun but for the message. The House conference took place at Speaker Reed's hotel, and was partici pated in by Messrs. Dingley, Cannon and other leaders. While po definite line of action was talked of, the Re publican leaders generally conceded that whatever legislation is adopted, if any, in response to the President's message, must necessary be a tem porary plan. To take up any compre hensive scheme to reform the currency or banking system at this particular time was pronounced wholly imprac ticable. One of the leaders who was in con ference with Mr. Reed outlined, as a probable line of action to be proposed in the House, the issuance of short term certificates of indebtedness or bonds to maintain the gold reserve, with a possible advance of tariff rates in certain schedules, sufficient to bring the revenue up to the expenses of the government. The talk in the speak er's room did not, however, extend to the plans which the House might adopt. Grave fears were expressed by House members of both parties that the Sen ate might refuse to accept any bond plan. The popular loan plan was the most talked of by Republicans, and bcth Mr. Payne and Mr. Dalzell, mem bers of the last ways and means com mittee,' advocated it. Mr. Payne favored the plan proposed in the last Congress by Mr. Reed, short term, low interest, small denomination bonds to be sold to the people, one class to make up the deficiency and another to sustain the gold reserve. RUSSIA IS WITH UNCLE SAH. On Paper Saescsts a Tote of Censure Against Salisbury. St. Petersburg, Dec. 21. The Novoe "Vremya says: "If it comes to a war between Great Britain and the United States the former will have to encounter internal as well as foreign foes, for the Irish are not likely to look on passively at such a conflict. In that event England's affairs in Tur key and the far East will not wear so favorable an aspect, and there would come the hour of bitter retribution for the past upon which Englishmen pride themselves, forgetting that suc cess gained by guilt and force are never enduring. The Boerse Gazette remarks: "The one honorable means for England to extricate herself from this affair is a vote of censure against the Marquis of Salisbury, and a new Cabinet might be able to rectify the blunders of its pred ecessors." Rio Janeiro, Dec 21. The Brazilian Senate and Chamber of Deputies have adopted a resolution approving Presi dent Cleveland's message. The press is divided. The principal journals op pose the American pretensions. The Jacobin papers support the Monroe doctrine. W. K. TAKDERBILT TALES. He Is as Fall of Fight as Anybody and Talks Patriotically. BRrrssEixs, Dec. 21. W. K. "Vander bilt of New York said yesterday: "Everything is possible, for we shall not yield an inch. We shall begin by closing our ports against England. Already I have a private telegram an nouncing the convocation of a con gress of delegates from all the Amer ican republics. This congress will carry through the project for a cus toms union elaborated bv the late Mr. Blaine." Mr. Vanderbilt talked fur ther of Edison's torpedoes being ap olied to flying machines to destroy the English fleet in a few hours. "Mr. Cleveland would never have thrown down the guantlet," said Mr. Vander bilt, "were he not prepared for all eventualities." H ear lie Trial Near the End. Bowling Green, Mo., Dec. 11. The celebrated Hearne murder trial is nearing an end. Four of the attor neys have made their arguments to the jury. The remainder will prob ably finish before noon to-day, and then the case will go to the jury. Marrying Was a Fad. of His. St. Joseph, Mo., Dec. 21. Albert Neeland, artist and enlarger of photo graphs, is possibly the most married man in the State.of Missouri. He was arrested yesterday when about to lead to the alter Miss Grace Woodward, who lives near Stanberry. Neeland now has three wives. One of them arrived from St. Louis, and it was she who gave the police information which led to her husband's arrest. Driven Into Tree Tope. Montgomery Citst, Mo., Dec 21.

Doesn't Think the War Talk Has Had a Bad Effect. Except in Stocks and Cotton, Values Remain Unchanged. TRADE ABOUT SAME. Foreign Holder Likely to Find American Securities Safe. Report May Hare Been Made Be fore the Panic of Yesterday. New York, Dec 21. R. G. Dun A Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The strong Americanism of the Presi dent's message has given its character to the week. Popular feeling was profoundly moved, but excepting in stock and cotton markets, business was remarkably dull and scarcely af fected. Selling of securities held abroad was a natural first impulse, though the sellers are not unlikely in time to discover that no -other secur ities are safer from international com plications than the American. Com ing at a time when nearly all produce markets are inactive and industry un usually dull, the disturbance has af fected values much less than might have been expected. Not because of any foreign question, but solely because of influences which have been in continuous operation for months, prices of manufactured goods continued to decline. It sounds strange to hear the many complaints of slow collections and scarcity of money at the West on ac count of tardy movement of products from the farms, when Western wheat receipts in three weeks have been 18,615,409 bushels, against 9,430,324 last year, while Atlantic exports, flour included, are only 5,612,337 against 6,453,100 last year.

Wall Street Panicky and a Big Slump In International Stocks. New York, Dec. 21. Yesterday was a day of excitement on Wall street, and matters for a time bore the re semblance of a panic But this condi tion of affairs had not been unexpect ed, and, in a measure, the dealers had prepared themselves. Before the opening of business on the Stock ex change, it was announced that $3,400, 000 in gold would be sent out of the country, and later in the day the ex port of 5600,000 was announced. This together with the cable advices from London announcing extensive sales of American securities, and the tenor of the war news from all -quarters, was responsible for the general feeling of uneasiness that prevailed even early in the day. As a result of the decline in stocks, the failure of the following firms was announced on the Stock- exchange during the day: Nichols, Frothing ham fe Co.; Samuel S. Sands Co., De Neufville Co., L. A. Feldman and B. Penton. With the fall in prices, the banks called in all their loans, thus add ing to the complications of the situation. Much money was loaned at very high interest to carry stocks, and in many instances renew als would be made under no conditions whatever. As the selling movement continued right up to the closing hour, with the slight and momentary re actions, the effect was demoralizing in the extreme. Money was loaned on call late in the afternoon at as high as 60 per cent, and most loans were marked up to 15 per cent by the banks. MASSACRE ORDERED. The Porte Gives Directions for the Slaughter of 12,000 Armenians. Constantinople, Dec 2L The Porte has ordered Mustapha Remzi Pasha to attack with 10,000 troops and two batteries the city of Zeitoun, and to bombard and destroy it aad to mas sacre the 12,000 Armenians in the city.

New York, Dec 21. The dingy little old restaurant under the shadow of the Boreel building, in Thames street, which for more than half a century has been known as Old Tom's, and for all those years has been the luncheon place of famous Wall street men, was crowded with brokers yesterday when two wo men, escorted by two men, entered. They were shown to a little table in corner and the order was given for four com bination chops. -Know 'em?" Mid one broker to an other. "No," said his companion. "Why, they are Mrs. Willie K.

Harry Hay ward's "Confession" Clinches His Claim mm "Prince of Liars," Minneapolis, Minn., Dec 21. The impression is growing that Harry Hay ward, the prince of liars in life, left his masterpiece of falsehood to follow after his death, in the ante-mortem statement. Not only are there many internal evidences that he told many sensational tales simply from a desire to pose as a great criminal, and to give his "cousin Goodsell" a good thing, but i transpires that Harry, to at least three persons, characterized the statement as a pack of lies. W. W. Hayward, his father, publishes a statement, in which he declares that Harry told his parents before the confession that they need not worry about what he said; it was to be a tissue of lies constructed to meet the demand for sensation. He assured them that he had told them, and them alone, the whole truth. After making the statement, he told his attorney, John Day Smith, that he had taken certain well known facts and woven around them plenty of lies. "The public wants lies," said he, "and I will give them lies. To the special ists who examined his skull and brain at the autopsy, and pronounced him a degenerate, the statement is prin cipally interesting from a psycho-' logical point of view, as lending, weight and evidence to their theory The demand for the confession in pamphlet form is phenomenal, and the first edition of 25,000 has already been exhausted. SILVER SENATORS WIN. Senator Allen's Resolution Adopted With out Reference to Committee. Washington, Dec 21. In the Sen ate the resolution of Mr. Allen (Pop.

Nevada, Mo., Dec 1. Elias Dean, a prominent and wealthy farmer living on the Marma ton river six miles northwest of this city, and a farm hand named Dory Monroe, were out m a boat Thursday on the back water of the Marmaton river when the boat sank.

This is a design of a neat two room vil go school, well adapted to the needs of a small place where only two rooms are re quired. The building is of brick, with a very neat and artistic impression, fnlly expressing its uses and purposes, and would be an ornament to any village re quiring a bouse of this size. The school rooms are each 24 by 33 feet in size, with Id feet ceilings, this size being large enough for 65 scholars of the smaller grades and BO of the higher grades, with single desks. The rooms are well lighted and are especially adapted to the require ments. A well built schoolbouse is an essential equipment of any intelligent community, and woe to that place that fails in this re spect. The school should be the center of attraction for the young, and so nice that the children would rather go there and study than stay away. All this is possi ble, and with proper buildings, duly equipped, and pleasant teachers to make learning pleasant, it is more than possible. and it can be made a reality.

This schoolbouse, as illustrated, is one of the bust models for a building of this kind, giving the best arrangements for small cost and expense. The front porch is roomy and affords access to each base ment playroom, the boys' playroom being on one side and the girls on the other. Tho playrooms in the basement are the samo bizo as rooms on the first floor. The hat and cloak rooms are connected with each classroom separately, so that the ohildren know exactly where to find their clothes when the session is over. Those cloakrooms are placed in the hall and are practically screens about 7 feet high, open at the top as well as with ven tilation at the bottom, and the hall being ventilated and warmed thoroughly the clothing is aired and dried while the school is in session. The heating and ventilation are by means of a large hot air furnace, placed in the center of the building, under the hall, changing the air in the classrooms four times an hour, so that the windows can be tightly closed and perfect ventilation and plenty of fresh air assured at all times.

The size of this bpilding Is 66 feet front, 85 feet deep, with a slate roof, built thoroughly substantial, floors lined and deadened, wainscoted classrooms and halls, patent blackboards in the classrooms, adamant finished walls. Such a building ought to be erected for (5,000. The furnishings and cost of desks average per pupil when rock bottom is reached about $2. It will cost $15 each room for teachers' desks and chairs, $2 a window for suitable window shades; the furniture for the principal's room, $50. These items would enable any one to figure on requirements outside of the building. The arrangement of this plan is such that at any future time two more rooms can bo built on the rear, making a four room school, as all communities will grow and it is only a question of time when more room is needed. In every case of this nature plenty of ground should be had while it is cheap. Then there is always room to enlarge school facilities.

It requires much experience to distin guish good work from bad, although it is a faculty many clever people think they possess, but how they acquire it they do not know. Art In all things is today up permost, and well meaning people are ofttimes sadly mistaken in their ideas of what constitutes this commodity. Some think it is because of novelty or because it is the latest style or fad, or because it is uncommon, but that which stands the test of time is always a safe thing to stand by in architecture, as in all other art matters; hence the colonial exemplifies the best ideas of fitness in all the gamut of styles run through since its early inception, and by its study fully exemplifies and fastens this upon the thought and enables a train ed mind to fully realize and discriminate between the good and bad and attain the best results. It is the age of reason ap plied to architecture, tho greatest degree of perfection attained, and yet the simplest and most inconspicuous style of all but it is still the hardest to work and handle and needs a master mind and a careful au thority to avoid all technical errors or points of detail so likely to spoil the whole, and only the trained architect can fully understand or realize its full possibilities.

Those are private or semiofficial bodies of men and women organized for the purpose of assisting the health officers in the enforcement of sanitary laws. They have done much toward molding pnblio opinion in favor of wise legislation and in educating the poor in hygienio matters, by visiting homes, distributing literature and calling attention to improper sanita tion. Thev have also given material and moral aid to health authorities when cases of nuisances were carried into courts.

Patterson, and the wife of Patterson wore widow's weed and shed many tears over the corpse. Now, the story is, Patterson writes from a foreign country and stales that the body purporting to be his was "a stiff," that the whole thing was a deception carried out successfully nt the cost of $7,000 paid to a certain Populist state oilicer which he names in the missive.

The store is under the same manage ment as the Topeka and Kansas City stores. Mr. Auerbach of the Topeka store was in Minneapolis ouly a few days ago. He says that the store was a magniBcent building with an eighty feet front. The company has spent thous ands of dollars in remodeling the build ing and only a short time ago put in two large plate glass windows on the alley so as to give a better view of the interior. The managers of the Topeka store have received no estimate of the loss. Mr. Auerbach was greatly surprised when he heard of the collapse of the building, as he supposed it was perfectly secure.

Five of the Formidable Animals In On Pile. "I believe I got as big a bag ol Dears In as short a time as any man ever did," said Doc Stadley, the ex-Sheriff and bear-hunter of Mendicino, to a San Francisco reporter. "A bag of bears!" exclaimed the young man who had just been telling about a bag of snipe he had once killed. "What were they little fellows; what Is it you call them kittens; no, cubs; that's It?" "No, sir; they were not kittens or cubs. They were bears," declared Doc. I think I piled up about a ton of bear meat in about thirty seconds. I was out hunting in the southern part of Trinity county, about seventeen or eighteen years ago. We had killed about forty deer and three panthers and a bear or two in a couple of weeks, and were pretty near ready to break camp when I thought I would go out and kill another deer to take home fresh. It was late in the afternoon and I was creeping along through the brush when suddenly I came out into a little open ing. I stopped to see if there was any sign of deer, and while I stood looking about a big black bear climbed up on the trunk of a big fir tree that had been uprooted. He wasn't thirty yards away and I plugged him In the ear. He rolled ofT the log and down the hill toward me, but before I had time to see if he was dead another bear climbed on the same log to see wbat the row was about. I shot it in the head and it rolled down the same way the other had gone. Up climbed a big two-year-old to take its place, and after I had shot it two big yearlings, one after the other, clam bered up on the log to be shot. "Every one rolled down the hill toward me and were kicking and thrashing around not ten steps away. By that time I came to the conclusion that I was in a bear country and I didn't lose any time climbing a sapling. When I got well braced up among the limbs I sat and pumped lead at that pile of bears; every time one kicked I gave him a bullet, till they all stopped kick ing. I had five bears in one pile, and I think they must have weighed over a ton altogether." LOCKJAW AND ANTI-TOXIN. Good Kesults Reported from tha Use ot the Tfew Remedy. Dr. Paul Gibier, director of the Pas teur institute, Ninety-seventh street and Central Park West, New York city, is in receipt of a letter from Dr. Wray Grayson of Washington, Pa., con taining an account of a case of tetanus cured by the anti-toxin treatment, says the Brooklyn Standard Union. The pa tient, whom Dr. Grayson designates in his letter as "B. T.," a sturdy boy of 6 years old, son of a civil engineer, and a resident of Washington, Pa.," while playing in his father's barn in the early part of September, stepped on a piece of rusty wire, which penetrated his right foot nearly an inch. At first the wound was very painEul, but after a week it healed over. Seven days after ward the boy became ill. He com plained of a loss of appetite, stifiness of his jaws, and cramps in his legs. His jaws became locked, the muscles of his face were drawn, hi3 legs grew stiff, and he suffered such intense agony that chloroform was administered to relieve him. The case assumed such an alarm ing aspect and the agony endured by the little sufferer was so excruciating that Dr. Grayson telegraphed to Pasteur institute for a quantity of anti-toxin, which was sent him at once. The in jection was administered as soon as the anti-toxin was received, and within a few hours its effect was noticed. "Al most immediately," writes Dr. Grayson, "the boy's convulsions became less in tense and finally ceased. The tension ot the muscles was relieved, and in a few days all danger had passed. He is now pronounced entirely cured." "The case of Joseph Revere of 38 Metropoli tan avenue, Brooklyn, who died of te tanus on Monday, Oct. 29," said Dr. Gibier, "was a test case in no sense. The disease had progressed so far that nothing could have saved the boy. The cessation of his spasms, which was said to be a sign of convalescence, when un accompanied by other favorable symp toms, is in almost every case but a sign of approaching death." tVashbnrn College Sncs. Washburn college today tiled a fore closure suit in the distrtct court against W. W. Curdv, formerly of Topeka, bat now living at Paola. On Oct. 1, 1890, the college leaned Curdy $1,000 for three years secured by three lots on Fillmore street. The interest is paid to Oct. 1, 1893, the date of maturity. Two Hundred Drowned.

From the State Journal's Special Correspondent. Washington, Dec. 21. Tha Kansas delegation held a conference today re garding a proposition coming from Ft. Scott, to make another United States judicial district in Kansas; and another district judge. It was decided to oppose the move, although some of the leading lawyers of southera Kansas are favoring it. The project is to have Kansas divided into two separate and distinct districts of the federal court, and also into two mar shal's districts. The idea is to have a fed eral judge appointed to hold court at Fort bcott and Wichita, which was the original intention of the movement that resulted in the establishment of the two branches of court in these places. The charge has been made that it is merely a scheme to get a good position for a Democrat. The particular Democrat who would be cared for in the new district would be W. C. Perry, the present United States district attorney, who, it is understood, would be sure to be appointed judge of the new district. This would pay him $5,000 and would be for life. His pres ent job is worth about as much but is only during the pleasure of his party. The new district would also make places for new clerk and a new United titates marshal, both good jobs. DICK JiLUK A HUGGER. Cjr Iceland Tells Wbat He Saw Down in Washington. A newspaper correspondent in Topeka reports the following interview with Cy rus Leland, chairman of the Kansas Re publican central committee: "I am a candidate for delegate at large to the next national convention and there is no use evading the question. I shall ask the state convention to elect ma as a delegate at large. By the way, I observe that Wichita is a candidate for one of the conventions. That suits me exactly, and my Vote in the state cen tral committee will be given to her for the convention which elects delegates and nominates electors. I am in favor of this convention nominating the congress-man-at-large, instead of leaving that task to the convention which nominates state officers. The regular state convention will be held in Topeka, I presume." 'What kind of a time did you have down in Washington?" queried the re porter. "Immense. Kansas has a crowd down there now of which no man need be ashamed. The delegation is now work ing harmoniously together and is at tracting considerable attention, in spite of the split over the organization of the house. 1 think the members who stayed out of the combination aid exactly right, for outside of one good place for Missouri, the combination was in the interests of the east. Mr. Fisher got beat, but gauging places by the salary they pay. Congressman Broder ick turned around the next day and got a better place than chaplain twice over when he secured the appointment of Reddick as lieutenant of capitol police. Yqu don't know Reddick? Well, he's all rit ht, but it would make you laugh to see him on duty. He can't be over live feet tall and looks very short among the big fellows oue usually sees on the police force.

The boys always knew Dick as a mixer, but they hardly expected to see him on hugging terms with all the big guns inside of two weeks after congress met. He is right in the swim with all of the old substan tial fellows. It would tickle you to hear Congressman Cannon call him 'Dick, and then hear him call Cannon 'Joe.' The other day when tha Bayard resolu tion was ql in the house they offered Dick ten minutes in which to give the house a sample of Kansas eloquence, but Dick thought he might appear 'too fresh,' aud so declined.

Wheat The strength at vesterdav'a close had vanished when the bell tapped at 9:30 this morning, the s'.rain of the financial Kituation on Wall street proved too much for bulls, and timid holders be gan unloading indiscriminately frcru the word "go. When the price had made a new low record at 56;-g for the May option, thera was good buying to cover tliort contracts. This gave the market a steadier tone and it rallied to 57J- There was anoin er panic of selling aud prices were forced to 57c again. At this point some 'good investment buying Dy strong parties, who think they can see a good upturn in prices appeared. It is true that wheat is now fully one cent below corres ponding price a year ago, and indeed it ia very near the lowest point of 1891. We firmly believe the buying side of wheat at these unnaturally low prices is the proper course to pursue, as it must not be forgotten that we are justenteriug tha critical stage of the growing crop. Tha ground is bare at present, and the late snow flurries have all melted and left the tender plant unpro tected and we will undoubtedly have a very large per cent of the acreage sown to wheat winter killed. These fac:s in connection with the improved financial conditions, which will undoubtedly come about, after the first of the New Year, have a tendency to give the market, an upturn of at least 5 or 10 cents. Corn and oats There is not much to be said in corn and oats except that they do not share the weakness iu wheat and are inclined to sympathize with all ral lies.

Weather Indications. Chicago. Dec. 21. For Kansas Partly cloudy; colder in central and west ern portions tonight; colder Sunday; southerly winds shifting to westerly. Old Ready Money Sago was in his glory yesterday. Call loans went np to 80 per cent; John J. Ingalls sizes up the British national character as it is and as nobody bat Ingalls could do it. Salisbury seems inclined to fight it out in the newspapers. It is said that he will publish his version of the Ven ezuelan controversy. Thb war question is settled. Jakie Rothschild says there will be no war. War cannot be carried on without money and he has the money. Neither panicky times nor prospec tive war causes the treasury to stop the withdrawals of gold, which it could do any minute by offering silver instead. The free silver element in the senate has won first blood by defeating a reso lution which wonld have permitted the burial of all silver legislation in the committee. Yesterday came near being another "Black Friday" in Wall street. One of these days it will be black all the year round in Wall street when the people go in there with their snickersnees. Senator Thurston is earning his sal ary as attorney for the Union Pacific road just the same as before he resigned the title, and perhaps is getting it. Do the people of Kansas want to send that kind of a representative to the United States senate? They didn't want to last winter. Thb bankers and capitalists should not become alarmed. Mr. Cleveland will look after their interests. He is getting ready to make another issue of bonds and the panicky feeling which his mess age haa produced will of course necessi tate selling them at a rate still more fa vorable to the purchasers than the for mer one. In isading what our congressmen are doing at Washington it appears that there are hundred! of Kansas people whs ars trying to gel a "gob of money out of the United Stotea treasury and they don't care what pretense they ad vance for getting it. It is claims, claims, claims from morning until night. All this indicates that the infernal desire to rob the rest of ths people through the national treasury springs eternal in ths human heart. We hops congrsss will refuss all of thsss unjust claims, as it vadsftbtsdly will moat sf them. CLEVELAND'S CRT OF "FIRE." dir. Cleveland's oourse regarding the financial affairs of the government re minds one of nothing bo much as the man who seta his house on fire to obtain the Insurance, and then rushes out and calls in the neighbors and the fire de partment to put out the blazs. By urging tariff reform he succeeded in securing the passage of the Wilson bill and depriving the government of sufficient revenue to meet Its expenses, and at the same time greatly reduced the receipts of gold. By refusing to coin or use silver for any purpose whatever he has produced a constant drain on the gold reserve, By announcing that all outstanding government paper will be redeemed in gold, regardless of the law which provides for its redemption in either silver or gold, at the option of the government, he has invited the raida of gold exporters and gold speculators, as well as those who desire to cause the issue of more bonds. After doing all these things he points out to congress the predicament in which he has placed the country and aska that body to do something toward extri cating it. Even in doing this he leaves the inference that any remedy in order to meet his approval must be along lines which he has laid down in each succes sive message. It is apparent that he will accept nothing else or he would adopt the remedy already at hand which is to redeem the greenbacks and "treasury notes in silver as provided for in the re sumption act and the Sherman law. If he did not want the fire why did he light it; and having lighted it, if he would put it out, why doesn't he apply the ex tinguisher which he has at hand? The message submitted to congress yesterday was intended solely as a warning to con gress that he is about to issue more bonds; with their authority if they see fit to grant it without it if they do not. The message may however serve a good purpose. It brings congress face to face with the condition and renders action of some sort almost imperative. Speaker Reed's do-nothing policy can hardly be carried out under the circum stances unless the members of the na tional legislature are willing to be called to an awful accounting with the people. The situation predicted by the 1ST ate Journal some weeks ago has arrived. The Republican majority is to be forced to assume a position. The president asks them to do something and to do it now. If this congress shall adjourn over the holidays and go home and dur ing the recess Mr. Cleveland shall make another issue of bonds, which he has clearly indicated he will do, will not the people hold ths Republican party equally accountable with the executive. Congress has the power to pass laws that the executive branch of ihe govern ment must obey laws that dq not admit of two interpretations. The Republicans have the majority and on them devolves the duty of doing what should be done. Mr. Cleveland is determined to have hia way or rid himself of responsibility. The Republican party can hardly afford to wait for the assembling of ths na tional convention to make an issue. It must be mads now, else either it or the whole people must suffer; perhaps both. Congressman Dick Blue has intro duced a bill in the house to pay the sum of $2,000 to one Simon Motz for some im aginary service rendered the people of the United States in acting as ths cus todian of Ft Hays military reservation. Motz, it seems, ha3 already received $SQ0 for doing the custodian act, which sum is perhaps largely in excess of what he earned. It is wholly improbable that he allowed the administration of the of fice to interfere with his other business, if he had any. At any rate congress should insist on an itemized account The position was doubtless regarded as a snap or he would not have accepted it knowing that there was no appropriation available for paying him. At each ses sion of congress every conceivable kind of a scheme is sprung for the purpose of robbing the tax payers. It doesn t seem to matter how fraudulent or unjust these pretended claims may be, some congress man can always be found to introduce them and undertake to engineer them through congress. Some, perhaps, take them on percentage iike lawyers take damage cases, while others are rewarded by political support. Congressmen are not elected and paid by the people to prosecute private claims against the government, especially when they are questionable. President Cleveland seems to be again confronted by '"a condition and not a theory." THE! FATOI1 UA1SCH. A Recommendation that Bo Bo Givoa the Contract for Removing Dead Animals. The ways and means committee of the city council has decided to report the bids for removing dead animals with the recommendation that the contract be awarded to Joseph Haisch. The advertisement was submitted on the supposition that the bidding wonld be made at a certain prlca per head, bat Mr. Haisch submitted a proposition to do the work and clean away the refuse which accumulates around the city build ing, police aud firs stations for $19 per month. This was considered remarkably low as ths city usually pays from $63 to $80 for the work of removing the dead animals alone. For that reason the oommittee decided to recommend that the bid made by Haisch be accepted and an ordinance passed fixing the rates to be charged by other persons who remove dead animals for people whs pay ths bill themselves. Holiday Rates. The Missouri Pacific will sell tickets on Dec. 24th, 25th, Slst and Jan. 1st at rate of one and one-third fares for ths ronnd trip between all stations within 200 miles distance. Tickets will be limited ta Sta. 2ad tot return passage. IT IS DIFFERENT NOW. Once Traveling Men Were Expected to be the Gayest of the Gay. KOWDAYS,HOWEYER,THEY ARE KEEN, Alert, and Always Tending to Bael- new-The Trials or toe Traveler. A newspaper correspondent whose bead is getting gray and a commercial traveler whose head is getting bald met on a railroad train the other day for the first time in 20 years and fell to talking over the changes that time has wrought in the two occupations of which they were the representatives in evidence Before they separated they had agreed, with all due respect to the traveling men and the newspaper writers of two decades ago, their own early contempo raries, that the followers of the two oo- I .1 n3 y 1 GHAYHBAD AND BALDHEAD. enpations had vastly improved since 1875. It was the traveling man who spoke first upon the subject and, in fact, longest, for, while the newspaper man is fairly handy with his pen, he is, and naturally, not able successfully to com pete with the traveler when it comes to talking. The traveler first mentioned the fact that hia profession had come to be of sufficient importance to be awarded a special day at the big Atlanta exposi tion. Then he dwelt at some length upon the commercial travelers' home now in course of erection at Bingbam tou and the excellent periodical, The Commercial Travelers' Magazine, that is published there. He said, and right ly, that the general public is not prop erly well informed as to the merits of either of these really notable institu tions. "When completed, "said the traveler, "the home will accommodate 250 mem bers. It is to cost $150,000, and much of this sum has already been raised by the travelers themselves. It was abont five years ago, if 1 remember rightly, that the project began to take tangible form, and as soon as it was seen that its success was assured a number of cities and towns sought the advantage of be ing the chosen location of the proposed institution. Binghamton got it by reason of a gift of 100 acres to serve as grounds and $15,000 in cash. By and by it is hoped to put np a fine hospital bnilding alongside the home and also a school where children of disabled travelers and of travelers who die without leaving provision for their families may bo edu cated. Already the home is becoming one of the show places of the beautiful and generous city which gave so much to secure its establishment there, and as the years roll on it is sure to attract more and more attention. To Bingham ton the fraternity of .business tourists owes a debt of gratitude which is inten sified by the sincere interest that has been shown in the home by Mayor George C. Green, a prosperous attorney who iu earlier life was himself a com mercial man and is now the president of the association that controls the home. "It is quite possible, continued the traveler, clearing his throat and light ing a fresh cigar, "that you yourself, like the majority of mankind, fail to appreciate the importance of the com mercial travelers numerically. I have not charged my mind with np to date figures upon this matter, but at the time the cornerstone of the homo waa laid there were 480,000 of ns all told in the United States, and it is probable that the number is now a ronnd half million. If that be so, and the popula tion of the country is 70,000,000, then one in every 140 persons in this republic men, women and children or at least one in every 70 or 80 grown men, is a commercial traveler. Never thought of it in that light? Probably not, but it seems to be straight enough for all that. "Now, bearing in mind the fact that commercial men do actually make np so large a fraction of the total popnla- the binghamton home. tion. I think yon will agree with me that the reputation they have in certain quarters of being a little too lively and gay, to put it mildly, is not well de served. You don't see what that has to do with it? Why, that's simple enough. Yon think of any class of the general community that is relatively as large and see if you can name one whose members are, comparatively speaking, so seldom pilloried in the press for wrongdoing. You can't doit. Nobody can. It is a fact that whenever a commercial man goes wrong his misdeeds not only, but the fact that he is a commercial man, are spread abroad, and every one says at once that it might all have been expected and worse, too, 'from drummer. But Eh m st V-5 mm iff J" fi ir vi it-: v-.1 :c it is a fact that the Sunday school super intendents, of which there are not near ly as many as there are of commercial men, furnish more recrnita to the ranks of the crooked than we do. I don't Epeak of this in disparagement of the Sunday school superintendents, yon understand in fact, I don't quite like the tone some of yon newspape men use in speaking of such a one when he falls out of the straight and narrow path -but I mention it simply to show that we re not nearly as black as .we are paint ed. I'll go further and say that propor tionately I am sure the commercial men are of a higher grade' aa to integrity and general rectitude than most men when you oonsider the really hard life we lead and the temptations of the road. "Oh, yes; I know. There are some black sheep among us. Yes, I know all abont Joe Mulhatton and his wonderful lies, and I'm sorry he's a commercial man, because I'm twitted of it every once in awhile. But yon mnst admit that he is a mighty clever chap. I didn't think so when I began to hear about him, but when he fooled the scientists then I saw his real greatness. How did he fool them? Why, surely, you, a newspaper man, ought to remember that. Don't you recall the statement telegraphed all over the world a few years ago that an astronomical chap with a genuine fake name had rediscov ered the star of Bethlehem that was fol lowed by the wise men of the east near ly 1,900 years ago, and how the late Richard A. Proctor, English expert in starology, wrote a lot of labored articles and papers to prove that the 'professor' must be mistaken? Why, Proctor made himself the laughing stock of everybody then. "But, as the stump "speakers some times say, 'I digress.' I was talking about the mistake people make when they set ns all down as a bad lot. As a matter of fact, you'll find that nearly every one when talking of our shortcom ings as a class will Bay that his own friends among the drummers are excep tions which prove the rule. But I will admit there was a time when the boys were wilder than they are now. When I went on the road, some 25 years ago, it was almost the rule that the traveling man should be a hard drinker. Now, that was quite as much the fault of the merchants and manufacturers employ ing commercial men as it was of the latter themselves. In those days it was thought by merchants who had men on the road that traveling salesmen must drink heavily with their customers in order to get their trade, and the man who couldn't carry a good load and do business at the same time wasn 't in great demand as a traveler. "Well, that rule worked for awhile, but it came to be seen after a few years that the drummer who followed it too GEORGE C. GREEN. closely wasn't a profitable employee. He didn't always get his orders in straight even if he got the orders, and after awhile he didn't get the orders. Then, besides, the general sentiment of the public grew to be against rather than tolerant of heavy drinking. Those who drank too much were first warned and then discharged. Then it got so that business men didn't like to employ trav eling men who couldn't show a fairly good record on the drunk question, and today a traveler can't more surely pnt himsvlf right off the road than to be known as a drinking man. I have my self met more than 50 travelers this week and not one of them had the ap pearance of a drinking man. In fact, I don't believe the travelers drink as gen erally to excess today as the members of any other class in receipt of the same average income. Yet if you can think of an occupation more likely to make a man believe himself in need of alcoholic stimulant yon can do better than I can. "Traveling men are forced to lose sleep, to be up early and late, to spend their days, and nights oftentimes, in a whirl of business excitement. They sleep on wheels, so to speak, much of the time; they .are always figuring close in order to finish their work in some town and catch some train, and there is scarce ly a railroad accident reported through which one or more commercial men do not pass. They are always from home so much that they are able barely to keep up an acquaintance with their families, and they have to train themselves to re gard 'the road' as their home. Yet, as I said, they will average np extremely well with the men of other callings gen erally, in the matter of good conduct, while as to general intelligence and cleverness I think they'll size np better than most." Than the baldheaded traveling man stopped for breath, and the gray headed newspaper writer began. I should like very well to write down what he said, bnt it has taken so much space to report the words of the traveler that I shall be obliged to abandon my plan. M.

Harry Do Windt is a young English man who has a great deal of money and very little notoriety, and he is about to spend $25,000 or the former inor der to increase his store of the latter. It ia easy enough to pro ceed mainly by water from New York to Paris, but if there is anything young Mr. Be Windt abhors it is do ing things easily. Harry DE windt. The result is that he is planning to go all the way on land and ice, a distance of about 16, 000 miles, at an expenditure of a small fortune and no small amount of energy. Mr. De Windt expects to consume two years in doing something that no one has ever done before or will ever do again, and when he proceeds through Alaska he will be defended from the warlike min ers who are digging for gold in snow drifts and glaciers by 30 well armed In dians and half breeds. De Windt is a young man, but he has already made several long trips over land. He recently returned from a tour of Siberia, during which he inspected the notorious prisons of the czar, and his first notable journey on terra firm a ex clusively was from Peking to Calais. The idea of traveling from New York to Paris by land was suggested by Cap tain James Adair, an American sealer De Windt met at the village of Niko laiefska, Russia, where he had been waiting six weeks for the appearance of a ship. De Windt waa telling the captain about some of his journeys and asked what, in the American's opinion, was the longest practicable trip one conld take on land exclusively. Adair shifted his quid just as all stage seadogs do and replied that he had cross ed Bering straits seven times on the ice, and that about as long a land jour ney as one could find would be from New York to Paris via Bering straits. "Can you show me the way?" cried the impulsive De Windt. "Betcherlife 1" replied the bold Adair. And thus it came about that the present trip was planned. Captain Adair will meet De Windt at Vancouver with a small army of Indians and half breeds, and with this escort De Windt will pro ceed through British America and Alas ka and cross Bering straits to Yakutsk, in eastern Siberia, where the captain and De Windt will part, De Windt push ing on alone to Pari 3 and Adair and the Indians returning to America.

It will not attempt to equal in magnificence the great World's fair or the Paris and Phil adelphia expositions, but it will endeav or to resemble the successful interna tional expositions that have been held from time to time in Sydney, Mel bourne, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manches ter, Amsterdam, Bordeaux, San Francis co and Atlanta. The leading spirit of the enterprise is Mr. J. H. .Stiles. In 1894, when he was British commissioner at the San Francisco Midwinter fair, a large number of exhibitors expressed the opinion that Canada should have an ex position, and Stiles was instrumental in having a meeting called to consider the subject The exhibitors who attended agreed that snch an exposition should be held and that Montreal, the largest city in the Dominion, with its splendid railway and water transportation facilities, was the proper site. Stiles at once visited Montreal and endeavored to get the J. H. STILES. Dominion government interested in the scheme. He was successful in arousing interest, but failed to secure financial aid from the government and finally abandoned further effort in this direc tion. He secured such encouragement, from varions Canadian capitalists, how ever, that he leased the Montreal Expo sition company's grounds, organized in England the Canadian Exposition com pany, limited, and began planning to hold a big fair in Montreal in the sum mer of 1S96. The project is being heart ily supported at home and abroad, and foreign agents already announce that many exhibitors are applying for space. There will be at least 10,000 splendid exhibits of an extensive and varied char acter and numerous special features of good moral character have been engaged. There will be no Sunday opening, no gambling and no questionable side shows, and in pursuance of his plan to furnish an unobjectionable exposition Mr. Stiles has alrsady refused to accept a reproduction of Monte Carlo, the Pas sion play and the Egyptian dancing girls. No tree has yet been measured which was taller than the great eucalyptus in Gipsland, Australia, which proved to ba 450 feet high. 1 PION TOE LARGEST TOBACCO THE WESTER!? ry m a ESTABLISHED 8FEE1 FOUNDRY AND MACHINE WOBES, ESTABLISHED 1668.

STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 21, 185 5t M SHALL BE ASHAMED Of the Asphalt Pavement at the Fall Festival IF WE DO HOT REPAIR IT. Work Should Be Begun at One to Make It Smootb and Presentable. A matter that requires the Immediate attention of the mayor and city council ii the repair of the asphalt pavement, on Kansas avenue, especially. The pavement on Kansas avenue is in a deplorable oondition and should be re paired as Boon as possible. It is not economy to put ofl making the repair because that only makes the expense greater. The pavement is fall of holes varying in size from ooe to four feet square and during a rain theBe holes fill with water making the pavement appear like a land scape covered with fish ponds. A person driving along- the street might conclude that the pavement is of cobble stones in stead of asphalt. Of course, if some one is very anxious that the asphalt Bhould ba allowed to po to pieces so that some one may put down a brick pavement the present system of deferring the repairs will probably ac complish that end. The only excuse made for the delay of the repairs is that there is no money but there will be money in a few days when the taxes from the fall payments are re ceived, and the council should sea that some of it is used to repair and preserve from destruction the asphalt pavements. Before Jlong they will be beyond the reach of the council and more bonds will have to be issued. Councilman Stephenson of the Second ward promises to Introduce a resolution at the next meeting of the council to repair the pavements. Something should be done nnd done soon. The city can no longer afford delay. Besides what a miserable spectacle our business street will present to the 50,000 visitors we expect to attend our Fall Festival next autumn if we do not repair it. THE CHRISTMAS POOR. In a Land That Raise a Quarter of Mill ion Bnsllels of Corn Peupla Will Starve. "The Journal's agitation in the inter ests of the poor and needy has kept me pretty busy today taking care of things left by kind people," said Mrs. L. E. Thorpe. "The suffering is terrible, sev eral extreme cases having been reported to me by ladies who did charitable work last winter." There is a great deal of want in Park dale. Many families south of Sixth street in that portion of the town are al most in a freezing, if not a starving con dition, The family from Jewell county of which mention was made in the Jocknal, and another one on Law rence street are still in a pitiable condi tion. They have had no fires, and yes terday the Lawrence street man's baby and two children in the Jewell county family took sick with croup. Both men are willing to work. One worked ail day in the rain Wednesday and the next day in the snow for forty cents. Yesterday when he put on his wet clothes he could not speak above a whisper. His wife is sick with lung trouble, besides his two children sick with croup. It was thought that coal would be se cured from Poor Commissioner Hale to day, lira. Thorpe could not find him yesterday.

A Kansas City man who signs himself Alexander Findlay and announces him self as a financial agent is sending a cir cular letter broadcast among Kansas lawyers solicting subscriptions to a fund to carry the mortgage redemption case recently decided by the Kansas supreme court to the United States supreme court. Mr. Findlay represents that Mr. Bev erly, who lives in Topeka is without means to carry the case to the higher court, and he asks the lawyers interested in sustaining Judge Martin's decision to contribute to a fnnd to take the case up by giving employment to a Kansas City lawyer. The most astounding part of Mr. Find lay'B letter is what he says of those in terested in having the case decided ac cording to Judge Horton's views. He says: "The loan companies have organized and subscribed largely and it 4s under stood that the Santa Fe has subscribed and retained Geo. R. Peck to appear in the supreme court." It would be interesting to know how much fif this Is true. Topeka lawyers say the Santa Fe has no interest in the mortgage redemption cases. This may be true, but the officers of the Union Trust company who are members of the new Santa Fe company are largely inter ested in the decision as they have been loaning money all over Kansas for sev eral years.

M'lLYRlED'S GAS COMPANY Will Doubtless Be Granted Permis sion to Erect Gas Works and Lay Mains to Supply the City With Dol lar Gas. Councilmen Elliott, Drew, Stephenson and Pattison, the committee on lights of the city council met last night to con sider the gas ordinances. The ordinance to grant A. K. Rodgers a franchise was the one which the committee bad to con sider in particular. The committee decided to make no recommendation on the Rodger's ordi nance at the next meeting. There are two lmportment things lacking in the ordinance which the committee con siders essential. One is the provision fixing a bond to be forfeited in case the company does not commence the work within a specified time, and the other in a revenue to be paid to the city. Mr. Rodgers will be requested to make these modifications in the ordinance and the committee will have another meet ing to further consider it. Councilman Elliott was not present at the meeting of the committee where the rate of revenue of the Mcllvrled com pany was fixed and the proposition to give the city one 'per cent of tbe revenue of the concern when the consumption of gas exceeds 100,000,000 cubic feet, was not quite satisfactory to him. Councilman Elliott insisted that the limit was too high and he thought that the company should pay a revenue when the consumption had. reached 50,000,UOO cubic feet. It was fiaally agreed that the new company should pay one half per cent when tbe consumption reached that figure, and when it reaches 100,000, 000 or more the rate is to be one per cent as before agreed. This is the only important change made in the Wcllvried ordinance though Councilman Skinner will insiBt when it comes up for passage that the time given the company to accept the ordinance be reduced from ninety to thirty days. It is probable that the McIIvried ordi nance will be passed at the meeting of the council Monday evening, as there is very little opposition to it in the amended form. Mr. McIIvried states that in laying the mains for the new gas works, the alleys will be followed as much as possible, so that the streets will not be torn up, I Sunday School Concert First Congregational church, Decem ber 22, 1893, at 7:30 p. m.: Organ Voluntary Miss Mabel Martin Invocation Rev.

GIRLS IN THE ANTIPODES IMITATE Their English Sisters'-Art, Litera ture and Drama Are Regions Unex plored by Them. A good deal has been written about the American girl, the English girl and the girls of other countries; but the Australian girl, up to the present, has not come in for much attention. Per haps it is, says London Sketch, that, coming' from English stock, she has al ways been regarded as too essentially British to be dissociated from tho Slaughters of -John Bull. Yet she is a distinct species, as different from the average English girl as the American girl. In personal charms she possesses all the attractiveness, but, owing large ly to the prevalence of sweltering suns and parching hot winds for eight months out of the twelve, her face has not that freshness, that pink, rosebud coloring which are at once the joy and sovereign possession of the English" irl. But it is in the exquisite contour of her figure, in the smallness of her hands find feet and in the perfect molding of her features that the daughter of the strany south is able to hold her own. If her face lacks the freshness of the green fields and pastures of England there is in it the warm sun of Australia, which gives to the countenance a look of perpetual pleasure. The small but clearly chiseled features of the Austra lian girl are always pleasant in expres sion, indicating a light-hearted, care less, irresponsible character under neath, i The innate shyness of the English girl has no place in her temperament, nor does she pay much regard to the culture, the self-contained dignity, the gracefulness which sit so easily on the girls of the west. The unrestrained spirit of an independent democracy seems to be ingrained in her. She is essentially sociable; indeed, the life of the average Australian girl seems to be made up of a round of social func tions balls, "at homes," parties. She elevates gossip to a fine art, and in the little world in which she residee she will be possessed of an encyclopedic know!-. TYPE OF A U STEAL! AX BEAUTY. edge of everybody figuring in social circles. She achieves distinction in volubility. "She can talk, but she has no conversation," as Mrs. Allonby re marked. To her, art, literature, drama and politics are unexplored regions. Dress is the dominant note of her char acter. And in this, as in almost every thing else, she is an imitator. There is little original about the Aus tralian girl. England is her fetich, and particularly the English fashion jour nals. She will wear cumbersome and trailing skirts under a pitiless sun, and with the thermometer over 100 degrees, if they have been worn in England. And in her affections she dearly loves an Englishman. She doesn't stop to in quire about hjs character; if he comes from the old land he has tliesfcey of her heart. But, above ali these super ficialities, which are unavoidable in a new country, rough and uncultured, there is much that is good and useful and practical about the Australian girl. In her domestic qualifications she is un approachable. Hard-working, indus trious, economical, capable with her needle, good-tempered, and, above all, generous, the Australian girl makes an ideal wife. As Ihe artistic and refining influences of the old world become more and more ing-rained in the people of the vast southern continent, the Australian girl, by her grace and winsomeness, will be come a keen competitor with her Ameri can cousin for recognition in the social spheres of London and Paris. A Delicious Mexican Dish. A Mexican dish of sweetbreads and oysters which is delicious is made as fol lows: Soak and blanch your sweet breads, cut them into equal sizes and re move the skins and little pipes. Take about three dozen fine oysters, strain j off the liquor. Put the SMteetbreads in to a stewpan and cover with the oyster liquor; add three large spoonfuls of gravy of roast veal and a quarter of a pound of fresh butter cut into bits and rolled in flour. When the sweetbreads are done put in the oysters and let them cook five minutes. Add two wineglasses of sweet cream, stir up well for a few minutes, and serve in a hot dish. Jeweled Velvets for Belts. A beautiful fabric, which is used for broad belts, is made with a ground work of shaded mauve and pink pail lettes, overlaid with a scrollwork in black. Puce velvet, embroidered with turquoise, amethysts and paste, with pink and blue beads, having a long, deep waving fringe, is ready for the fronts of gowns, while a square bodice trimming is of white satin worked in turquoise and opals. Pretty Centerpiece for Table. A pretty and unusual centerpiece for a table is made as follows: Place in a bowl hollowed in a square of ice enough loosely piled cracked ice to fill the space. In the interstices between the lumps of ice fasten pieces of smilax which will trail out and over the square block. The effect of the glittering ice and the delicate green tAcery is charming. BEAD-END COLLISION. Two Trains Sleet in FbHadeiphia, Killing Two and Injuring Several. Philadelphia, Dec. 21. The local north bound train on the Reading rail way, which left the station in this city at 6:15 this morning and reached the u bur ban town of Frank ford at 6:44, started from the Frankford station without wait ing, as is customary, for the down train, which arrives at 6:44, and the result was a head-end collision at Sellers street, two blocks north of the Frankford station. Two persons were killed and several injured, three of them fatally. Killed Daniel Hart, aged 70 years, of, Frankford. George Anderson, aged 16 years, of Frankford. Injured Edward Stott, aged 20, Frank-' ford, both legs crushed, will probably die.1 Samuel Sievers, Frankford, both leg3 and one arm crushed, will probably die. George .Lee. Frankford, both legs and oae arm crushed, will die. Charles Guard, 28 years, Philadelphia, bagrage master, injured about legs and shoulders. Herbert E. Fray, Frankford, one leg crushed, badly bruised. Wm. MoBley 16 years, Frankford, both legs badly hurt' Irwin Udall, 45 yesra, Frankford, both legs and one arm broken. Several others were seriously hurt All the killed and injured, with few exceptions, were in the combination car on the outbound train. The orders as a usual thing are for the outward bound train to wait at Frankford for the train due at the same time from the north. The conductor of the north bound train, it is said, ordered the engineer to go ahead. The train had barely loft the depot when the engineer sent his fireman back to ask the conductor. Lew S. Jar ret, if orders had been received to go ahead, as he, the engineer had heard of none. As soon as the fireman spoke to the conductor the latter jumped up and pulled the rope for the train to back. But before the engineer had time to re verse the down train crashed into it. The force of the collision was so great that the bumpers of both engines were Smashed to splinters. The tender of the north abound train was driven clear through the baggage compartment of the combination car into the smoking compartment, which was crowded with passengers and this is where the slaughter took place. MAY YET HAVE INGERSOLL. Missouri University Lav Students Still Planning For His Address. Columbia, Mo., Dec. 21. It seems as if the senior law class of the Missouri university is really going to have Col. Robert G. Ingersoll address their com mencement after ali. Chairman Law son has called a meeting uf the commit tee on public arrangement, which ar ranges the commence inent programme, to take action on the matter. During the past week the lawyers have been working quietly. Letters have been written and interviews have been had, and all at ones the leaders have grown confident. The senior class has secured an endorsement from the junior class, and now the demand for an address from Ingersoll is from the de partment instead of from a ciass. A letter has just been sent by the com mittee appoiuted by the class asking Col. Ingersoll if. he can come on Tues day berore the first, Wednesday in June. If he replies that be can the committee say the formal invitation will be sent. SINCE FLUENT'S DEATH. Texas Populists Aro Now Looking for a Leader to Take HU Place. Austin, Tex., Dec. 21. The death of Judge Thomas L. Nugent, who was twice nominated by the Populist party in this state for governor aud promi nently mentioned for the leadership of the national organization, at Fort Worth last Saturday morning, takes from the party organization of Texas its strongest member and recognized leader. The loss to the Populists of Texas in the death of Judge Nugent is irrepar able. There is no man in the ranks of that party in this state who can fill his place. The question, however, now, and the one whicii Populists are free to dis cuss is who will be the standard bearer in the next gubernatorial campaign. Major Jerome C. Kearby of Dallas, an eminent lawyer and a forcible speaker, who made a close race against Judge Abbott for congress, has been mentioned. But in an interview he declares that the exalted position of chief executive is not as congenial to him as national representative. M'KINLEY SHAKE. The Governor Has n Nbw Kind of Glad Hand for tbe Boys. Washington, Dec. 21. William McKinley has a brand new shake this year. He had what he thought was a glorious one in 1692, but subsequent events showed him his error. He has discarded the 1892 hand and also his Na poleonic mien. When Mr. McKinley greets a man who may be of service to him he takes a step forward, and, lifting his hat with his left hand, swings out tho right with a semi-circle, and, tilting his bead out at a confidential angle, silently presses the hand of the visitor." This is known as the "confidential clasp." It makes the visitor believe that he is one of tbe few real friends McKin ley has on earth. 4,000 CHRISTMAS DINNERS.

The Silver Lake correspondent of the Topeka Mail says: "A movement is on foot to induce the Kansas Medical college to pull out of Topeka and locate in our city. Those favoring it have made but a slight can vass and have already one thousand dol lars subscribed towards a fund to be used in effecting the change of location." Silver Lake is the home of Janitor S. A. Johnton of the medical college, the first man placed under arrest for being implicated in the recent grave robberies. It is altogether likely that the people in terested in the cemeteries north of the river add in the Silver Lake neighbor hood would regard the medical college as a menace to the community and would prevent the location of the college there if possible. WARN HERR AHLWARDT. Jews Request Him Not to Includs Chicago in Ills Tour. Chicago. Dec. 21. In anticipation of his visit to this city the Jews have sent a registered letter to Here Ahlwardt, the anti-Semitic, reqe3ting him not to in clude Chicago in his tour of the country. "Ihe coolness of the New York peo ple toward Ahlwardt," said a prominent Jew yesterday, "may check him some what. By this time he has probably found out that the American people are not the kind who care to listen to a lot of slander and backbiting." SCHLATTER NEEDS GUIDE.

Pittsburg, Dec. 21. The employes of the Central Traction company were agreeably surprised on opening their pay envelopes to find that the company, by way of a Christmas gift, had restored the wage rate of 1893. A committee of the employes waited upon the management about a week ago and requested the restoration of the rates paid iu 1893. No answer was given the men, and a3 the employes of the Fifth avenue and other lines had vainly sought to secure their old wages, the Central men had no expectation that their re quest had been granted.

The gentleman who thinks it his mission on earth to run dowatbe Jews to speak first, and I will reply to his argument, and if I do not show him where the Jews are a benefit to this country and where his philosophy is all wrong, I will forfeit $500 to any charitable institution he may name, the debate to be decided by a committee of three, one Jew, one Christian and one Ingersollian. "If Mr. Ahlwardt refuses to debate with me and he thinks he can do some good for the Gentiles in this city, let him fill his pockets with dollars or dia monds and I will do the same, and in one night I will show him how he can do mare good than if he was to speak on the platform of New York for 30 years."

Young la dies, I can never read this passage without my blood boiling," declared Miss Sharpe, with distinct irritation in her voice, ad dressing her class in Jjatin. "Ho began by losing his estimable wife In the confusion ot his flight from Troy, and I have no doubt it was an intentional loss, and he considered it a good riddance, for here we have him, later on, to be sure, but not long enough for him to have re covered from any deep grief he may have felt, making desperate love to Dido. How does he reward her love and hospitality? By sailing away and leaving the poor, weak fool heartbroken. Consequently she commits suicide, as we might expect. "Young ladies, this is an opportunity I cannot neglect. I must warn you to be ware of man perfidious man for if he does not, like the pious .22neas, win your heart and sail gayly away, he will, if you join your destiny to his, make life a mis ery and a burden to you." "Do you speak from personal experi ence, dear Miss Sharpe?" asked a miss ef 17. The latter turned with flashing eyes. "When you have lived as long as I" she began, then interrupted herself, for she never referred voluntarily to her age "that is, when yon have seen as much of life as I have, you will learn that whEt I say is true. There is nothing a man en joys more than winning a woman's heart and then breaking it." The teacher's words fell for the most part on stony ground, but found fertile soil in Estelle Pardeau's heart. If men were all so false, might not Dick Hol stead, who ssemed truth Itself, prove un faithful to her? She was to marry Diok as soon as school was over, and the house they had planned together was even then Hearing completion. But what of that? Estelle lingered after the other girls had gone, and she had an earnest talk with Miss Sharpe. "Estelle," 6aid the teacher, taking the young girl's hand, "I meant all I said. I, who have learned these bitter truths through experience, am fitted to tell them. When I was your age, Albert Hands asked me to marry him, vowing eternal love and constancy. I gave my young heart to him unreservedly, and what was my reward? In a few months' time he tired of me and deserted me for a better looking woman. Have I not the right to say that men are false?" "But must all men must Dick be the name? None of them true?" asked Estelle anxiously. "I could tell you, dear child, of a thou sand such cases. Dick might be faithful, but how oan you tell? Ah, my dear, it is a terrible riskl" And Miss Sharpe sighed heavily. The result of this interview was that the engagement of Estelle and Dick was bro ken, and they went no more togother to visit the new home and watch the progress made on it. Dick, angry and sorely wounded, declared all women false and fickle and would have forever abjured the whole sex had it not been for sweet, pretty little Hettie Landy, who soothed his ruf fled feelings and ministered to his injured vanity so kindly and successfully that at the end of the month Miss Hettie was wearing his ring and had promised to be the mistress of the new house on the hill, for Dick was a parti. When she heard the news, Estelle wept and wailed and called Dick all the most uncomplimentary names she could think of in the privacy of her own room. She forgot the truth of the old saying, "Many a heart is caught in the rebound," and vowed that she would never put trust in mortal man again as long as she lived. She told Miss Sharpe she could never thank her enough for her escape, as she termed it, and vowed that she was grate ful with all her heart that she had listened to her warning in time. But just the same, deep down in that same little heart there was a very sore spot, which ached and pained very sharply whenever she saw Dick and Hettie wending their way to ward their prospective dwelling together. But it ached worst of all the night that these two were wedded. Of course Estelle would not stay away, for people would talk and perhaps say she was repenting in sackcloth and ashes, while she did not care a bit no, really not a bit, she assured herself over and over feverishly as she dressod in her bravest finery and ndded a touch of rouge to each cheek so she would not look pale. "Dear Miss Sharpe, how much I thank you!" shomurmured to herself as 6he tried to get to sleep that night, but a small voice seemed to answer: "Liar! If you could have Dick back, all the Miss Sharpes iu the world might bo cast into the sea, with millstones about their necks. School was over, and Estelle took to reading, but all her reading seemed to have the same trend. She took particular delight iu hunting out cases of women who were made to suffer through their lovo for men, and before the summer was over, so strange is human nature, she re garded herself as a woman whose lover had deliberately forsaken her, and fully agreed with the song that this would be a happy world "if the men were all trans ported far beyond the northern sea." So time passed on, and Estelle grew more bitter in her attitude toward the lords of creation, who now heartily re turned her regard. In the autumn she re ceived a letter from her dear Miss Sharpe, which she felt ere she opened the envelopo would be a comfort to her. "My sweet child," it ran, "you do not know how often I have thought of you of late. I have, dear Estelle, a confession to make to you. I am married. Do not Etnrt from me, dear one, and cry 'Impos sible!' for indeed it is true, and I am so happy. Albert Hands returned to mo and threw himself, as it were, at my feet. I find he has loved me always, although he has been married three times, fearing after I irh herpAVftmenr, to heir mv r.irrlnn and a renewal of love. And so I find it, Es telle, the tenderest thing in all the world. Your loving and happy Clarissa Sharpe Hands." Estelle Pardeau neglected to send Mrs. Albert Hands her congratulations, and in deed, when she met that lady some weeks later, coolly gave her the cut direot, much to the surprise of the elderly bride.

The Santa Fe is at present experienc ing a partial famine in refrigerator cars on its western lines, more shipments un der refrigeration having been made dar ing the past month than has ever been experienced at this season in the history of the road. After the heavy service of refrigerator cars during the summer months, repairs are always necessary, and the demand for that class of cars this month has oc casioned au addition to be made to the repair force at work in the Santa Fe yards in this city, seventy -five new men having been employed. The working time of the men em ployed in the car shops as well as on the repair track has been lengthened to nine hours, it having been cut to eight some time ago, and all possible efforts are be ing made to supply the demand.

Vacation Rates Cannot Bo Extended for Their Convenience. Stndents of Kansas colleges will this year have their Christmas vacation ma terially shortened unless they decide to pay regular railroad fare of three cents per mile. On account of the refusal of a Kansas railroad to extend the holiday rate limit to a date convenient to the reopening of the schools, which has been the role for several years past and was agreed upen this year by all other lines, the limit will expire January 2. the date authorized for the general public. As January 2 falls on Thursday, and as the colleges will not reopen until the following Monday, it will mean a loss of four days to the students which could be agreeably spent at their homes. The Santa Fe has been endeavoring for the past twenty days to arrange this mat -ter satisfactorily, but owing to the obsti nacy of the management of the one road, Music Cabinets IN Oak and Bircb. 4 Fancy Rockers IN Oak and Birch North Topeka.

Professor Samuels Sastain His Own Remarkable Record. Samuel Burns Tells a Plain Story of How He Was Hurt, How He Suf fered and How He Was Car ed. Saturday afternoon a carriage contain ing three women and a man stopped at 636 Kansas avenue, in front of Prof. Samuel's office. The man being assisted by the women all made their way up stairs. Once in his office they introduced themselves and made known their business- The man was the one to be treat ed and his name was Samuel Burns. For three months he had been suffering with nervous convulsions, they said, which came on with great frequency and se verity. In fact while the conversation was going on he was attacked by one f the spells and suffered Intense agony. Prof. Samuels took in the situation t once and saw that something must le done immediately. So he prepared a application for the eye, selected a pair f glasses and with directions sent the pry home. Having heard of the incident a report er called pesterdtty at the home of Mi. Burns, 413 Lake street to learn the r. -suit of the treatment. No two happi' r people could hardly be found than we e Mr. and Ms. Burns. The story from their own lips sounded almost like a mi racle. The trouble which brought on the present condition began two yearj ago when Mr. Burns got his back injured from heavy lifting. At the time he was compelled to quit work, but after a short time felt better and went to work again. Yet he constantly realized that his inju ries had not been cured. Though at work most of the time the occasional pains in his back were all the time warn ing him that sooner or later he might expect the wor-st. About three months ago the trouble returned in an aggra vated form in the shape of a severe ner vous spasm. From that time until the day he called on Prof. Satnueis no day or night passed without a repetition of the dreadful piague. Mr. Burns said when these spasms came on the pain, particularly in hi3 back, was excrutia'. ing. In fact he was never without them, but they were more intense at this par ticular time. When the spells passed off they left him completely exhausted, Jloreover.his flssh, particularly through his chest and bac feit-us if it had been thoroughly pounded-'' The veins in his neck fok as larga as rope cables. The soreness which' followed was almost as intense as the pain itself. And during this time he was growing weaker day by day. Along toward the last the spasms became more frequent until last week, when they came on almoBt every hour. One night just before calling on Prof. Samuels, Mrs. Burns said both she and the neighbors thought her husband would surely die. During all this time almost every rem edy was tried that could be heard of. No less than seven of the best doctors in Topeka treated Mr. BurnB during the time, but they either did not understand the trouble or couid not find the proper remedy. One thing is certain they did him no good. Having heard of Prof. Samuels through friends and the newspapers, Mrs. Burns concluded to take her husband to see him as a last resort. So in company with two neighbor women, Mrs. Wells and Mrs. McKinnie.they called last Saturday as above stated. Since that day no words can express the happiness that has come tothis little household. Since the one in the professor's office not the least symptom of a spasm has presented it self. Although still weak and sore from bo much suffering Mr. Burns believes for the first time that be is on the high road to complete recovery. The eye preparation gives him so much relief that he almost counts the minutes from one application till the next. To the reporter he said: "If Prof.Sam uels succeeds in making a strong and healthy man out of me. after the condi tion he found me in, that ought to be enough glory for one man, Everybody in this entire vicinity knew of my. case, and there will be more tongues giving him praise than there are sands on the seashore."
