Ca tlie Darkened YKion of the Governor. lie Discovers Tliat Ex-Senator Frank Lockard IS JUST THE 31AN For Member of the Board of Charities. The Price He Days for the Sixth District. Politicians are at so a tm'.ay. They do raw understand why f-x-nator F. M. Lockard of Norton county was appoint f 1 as a member of the state board of charities when they know that Gov. Morrill lias said repeatedly that lie v-ould riot appoint him. There is a reason for everything: and Gov. Morrill knew what he was doing when he changed his mind and appoint ed Lnrkari As soon as the resignation of Waiter X. Allen, the Populist member of the board was announced, Lockard at once b-wTan to lay his plans to capture the place. He is a politician of the old school, and he put all his old friends to work. Things went wel! until he consult ed Gov. Morrill, and then he received a revere rebuff. Gov. Merrill simply said that he would net appoint him and that nothing: could he done to change his mind en the matter. But Lockard is not one of the kind of men who gives up: he has been in politics too long- for that and he soon had another plan to reach the governor. It w-as through a member of the state administration, State Treasurer Ather ton. In nn "Rill" Simpson of Norton cunty wanted to go to conerrt-ss. He thought he had the nomination within bus --p. wheti some uu foreseen foi'',-e came in and defeated him and threw the nomination to Ellis. Simpson laid his defeat at the i,,r of State Treas urer Atherton. ami he swore that he would not rest until he had defeated Atr-rton for r i.omh-ation.

The same is true of one of the districts of Tennessee, in which there is a contest, but if all the ueleirates contested in all the states which are for McKinley are thrown out and the votes of the contesting dele gates given solidly to some other can didate, it wall not affect the result.

Miller Now of Chicago, DOES UP TIIE BANKS For Nearly Four Hundred Thousand Dollars. He Has Eeen Indicted Along' With Hank Ollicials. "WAS KNOWN IN K ANSAS Me Lived at Emporia Some Years Ago, And Operated a Hranili Office In Topeka. Denver. May 19. The federal grand jury now in session has found several indictments against bank officials and others accused of having conspired to defraud depositors in banks in this city which have closed their doors dur ing the past three years. John J. Reithmann, president and John J. Reithmann, Jr., vice president, Charles M. Clinton, cashier, and Chas. Kunamiller, assistant cashier of the German National bank are charged with having falsified figures in the re port to the comptroller of the condition of that institution on May 4. 1S93. It is a i i that charges of a more serious nature against these men are being considered by the grand jury. It is also announced today that O. E. Miller of Chicago, has been indicted on the charge of embezzling $123,000 from tlie Commercial National bank and Charles H. Dow who was president of the Commercial, is charged with hav ing conspired wdth Miller to defraud Commercial depositors and with hav ing violated the national banking law by loaning to Miller $145,000. whereas tinder the law the bank could not loan to one individual or company more than 10 per cent of its capital stock which was S2oO,0oo. O. IP Miller figured quite prominent ly in Ijenver prior to the panic of IMG. He was and is still the head of the Miller Hernia company which handles trusses and other patents for the cure of rupture and has o-fices in Denver, Chicago and other cities. Investiga tion of Miller's financial affairs since the crash oil '93 has developed the fact that his entire indebtedness to the na tional banks of Denver ag'gregated S34.j.'!.)0. d' this amount $192.tH was secured from the Commercial and Ger man National banks and the remain ing $i:.3.vu0 was borrowed of banks that survived the panic. The American National which suspended recently, is said to have been a loser. Receiver Frank Adams of the Com mercial National and Seph T. Hill, of the German. National have been press ing Miller for a settlement but tlie truss dealer who moved his residence to Chicago soon after his financial backers went to the wall has been standing them off wdth promises to bond his company and square up his ind'-btedness. Miller floated bonds in Chicago for ,?3j.0)0, but not one cent of this money ever reverted to the banking institutions in Denver to which he was largely indebted. It was upon the receipt of the news that he had received the money from his bond ing operation that the receivers with drew all objections to criminal prose cution, as they were now asured he did not intend to pay. While in Den ver Miller was very active in church and Sunday school work. (The O. K. Miller referred to in the above telegram is from Emporia. He was a very preeminent man in church and Y. M. C. A. circles in Emporia and afterwards in Denver. He was the inventor of a truss for the cure or relief of hernia and w-as so successful in its manufacture that he left Emporia about IS years ago for Denver, where he organized a big com pany for the manufacture of his truss. He wns a hustler and established brimc-h offices all over the ("nited States and advertised extensively in all the leading newspapers, inducing local pihy sioians to rep resent him. Dr. Branstrup of West Sixth street was connected with Miller in introduc ing his trusses in Topeka and vicinitv. but the Topeka office lost money, and after losing about $10,000 in endeavoring to establish a business here. Dr. Bran strup gave it tiie Miller visited Topeka but two or three times. About three years ago Miller had trou ble with his first wife and was divorced from her. He married again, and ft is but a few weeks since his second wife died in Chicago, where he moved about two years a go. Stiller never was a doctor.

A dispatch to the Daily News from Moscow says: A hundred thousand persons awaited the Czar's arrival for two hours in the elegantly decorated perron. The sta tion w-as a brilliant spectacle with the glittering- uniforms of nearly every regiment. The Czarina looked charming in a white dress and bonnet. The Czar was plainly clad in the uniform of a captain of infantry and with no decorations, making a striking contrast with the brilliant suite. There were three hundred special correspondents on the platform. Two new and resplendent Baldachins have been prepared for the coronation, one for tlie Czar and Czarina lavishly overlaid with gold on each of its four faces, the interior ceiling being adorned with the imperial aims included in the chain of the Order of St. Andrews. Around the imperial shield are grouped the nine different escutcheons of the kingdoms and principalities cf Russia. In each corner is the imper ial monogram worked in the chain of St. Andrew in glittering folds. On the exterior cornice are embroidered six teen large and four small eagles with the imperial monogram. Alternately placed at the corner there is a gold crown in relief and a number of gold eagles with smaller crowns upon which are sixteen plumes of black and yellow ostrich feathers, bound with ribands of tlie same national colors. The tufts and fringes adorning the supports are made of gold surmounted by silver globes, and enameled eagles. This imperial baldachin will be borne by sixteen generals. The second baldachin is half the size of the first and similarly but less elab orately adorned. The three ancient thrones of Ivan III, Michael Teodprovitch and Alexis Michaelovitch will be used for the coro nation. The monogram of the Czar is embroidered upon that of Michael Teodorovitch's throne, that of the Czarina upon the throne of Ivan IH.and that of the Dowager-Czarina upon the throne of Alexis Michaelovitch. The new imperial standards mounted upon a black and yellow shaft, surmounted by a gold enameled eagle. FOR CHIEF JUSTICET Judge Graves of Emporia, Announces His Candidacy. Emporia, May 19.

Twenty -eight Killed, 50 V ounded and Property Loss of $1,000,000. Kansas City, May 19. Twenty-eight killed outright: 50 or more in juredisome of them fatally and a property loss ag gregating about one million dolllars is now given as the estimated damage done by Sunday's cyclone in Marshall, Nemaha and Brown counties, Kansas. Further reports may increase these figures as telegraphic communication with the stricken points is still imper fect and consternation prevails. The dead are distributed as follows: At Seneca and neighborhood, S: at Oneida, 6; Reserve, a; Sabetha, 5; Mor rill. 4. Seneca suffered property damage of about $3.0.(100; Frankfort. $100,000; Re serve .V10.000; Sabetha. $50,000: Mor rill, $20,000, and thousands of dollars of damage done in the country between these towns. Although the peeuniary loss at Frankfort was great, not a life was lost there. Destitution and destruction met the eye at every turn and the stricken country is bowed down with misery and woe. Many were rendered abso lutely penniless. But few of the vic tims carried cyclone insurance and many escaped with only the clothes they wore. At Seneca where the damage was heaviest the havoc wrought was most complete. Everywhere the citizens have organized and are doing every thing possible for the sufferers.

Attempt to 3Iake It Unanimous Howled Sown. Cleveland, May 19. Delegates to the M. E. general conference are becoming tired of electioneering. Thirteen bal lots had been taken when the confer ence convened this morning and the convention is practically in a deadlock. Bishop Bow-man presided for the sec ond time today. The reading of the journal had just been completed when Rev. C. L. Staf ford of Iowa moved to postpone in definitely the election of bishops and in support of his motion said there was a large number opposed to increasing the episcopal board. Dr. J. M. Buckley op posed the motion. The committee, he said, recommended three bishops and the conference by a majority of twent tive substituted two. To indefinitely postpone would make the conference ridiculous in the eyes of the world. Dr. Buckley said the dif ficulty now lies in the fact that indi viduals who have no possible chance to secure the necessary two-thirds vote for an election still permit friends to vote for them. It is manifest, he said, that no election could be secured if the members persist in voting for those who cannot be elected. If impossible to elect, then the conference can ad journ and the men who blocked the election will have to bear the respon sibility. Dr. J. R. Mace of New Jersey favored the motion to postpone indefinitely the election and charged that the great body of the church want no more bishops. Rev. C. D. Hills of New Hampshire presented a substitute which provided that if no election should result on the fourteenth ballot the five highest ones shall be voted for on the fifteenth bal lot. Cries of "no, no," greeted the reading and Bishop Bowman ruled it out of or der. Dr. A. J. Kynett of Philadelphia said the voting was a good thing in that it holds the delegates in their seats and at the same time business is being dis posed of in a remarkable manner. He eulogized the candidates for bishops and particularly McCa.be. At this junc ture Rev. R. D. Munger of central New York, protested vigorously against the electioneering. Dr. Kynett said no combinations ex ist and it was a matter of congratula tion. Finally the motion to postpone was defeated by a large majority. Gen. Rushing of New Jersey attempted to secure a suspension of the rules in or der to present a substitute to elect three instead of two bishops, but the conference refused to do so. Rev. C. J. North of New Y'ork at tempted to secure the same result in another resolution but the conference refused to suspend the rules to permit it and the 14th ballot was ordered and taken. Charles C. McCabe was born October 11, lsSfi, in Athens, O. He entered the Ohio conference in 1S60 and was sta tioned at Putnam. In 12 he became chaplain of the 122nd Ohio volunteer infantry. At the battle of Winchester," Va., in June, 1863. while looking after the wounded on the field he was cap tured and taken to Libbey prison. where he remained a captive for over four months. After his release he rejoined his regiment at Brandy station, but with broken health, was sent back to the hospiital at Washington. He was in vited, after partial recovery, to spieak at an anniversary of the Christian commission, and George H, Stuart, president of that organization, asked Secretary Stanton to grant him permis-" sion to make a tour of the great cities of the Union in the interest of that cause. After the war he re-entered the regu lar work of the ministry and was sta tioned at Portsmouth, O. The report of the 3 1th ballot was re ceived. In all 504 votes were cast.mak ing 33 necessary to a choice. The leaders were Cranston. 261; McCabe, 25S; Hamilton. 149: Buttz, 123: Neely, 112; Bow en 35; scattering. i0. As com pared with the previous ballot this was a gain of 16 for Cranston, a gain of tiS for McCabe, a gain of six for Bowen, a Puss of two for Buttz, a loss of 60 for Neely and a loss of 31 for Hamilton. The 15th ballot was then taken and the tellers retired. After the transaction of a little bus iness, the tellers returned with the 15th ballot. There were 304 votes cast mak ing 33C necessary to a choice. (Of these C. C. McCabe of New York received 344 votes, electing him by eight votes. The vote on others was: Cranston 32S: Buttz 112: Hamilton 109; Xeely 50; Bowen 30; scattering 35. The wildest scene then followed. Del egates stood yelling and waving their handkerchiefs. Calls for "McCabe." "Song. and "Speech" rose from all parts of the hall. Delegates rushed back to where he was sitting and he was surrounded by an enthusiastic following. In the first lull a motion to invite "Bishop McCabe" to the platform was heard. It was carried with a whirl, and as Dr. Mc Cabe walked down the aisle the demon stration was repeated, but Dr. McCabe begged to Vie excused from saying or singing anything. The conference or dered no report made on those who re ceived less than nine votes and the conference resumed its deliberations. The 15th ballot showed a gain for McCabe of hi, for Cranston of 67, for Hamilton a loss of 40, for Buttz a loss of 11. for Neely a loss of 62. for Brown a loss of 5. The drift was then toward the Rev. Earl Cranston. The 16th ballot w-as soon announced, resulting in the election of Dr. Crans ton as the second bishop. In ail 504 votes were cast, making 336 necessary for a choice. Of these Cranston received 363, thus electing him by 30. The confer ence went wild again and cheers filled the hall. Handkerchiefs were waved and this continued for several minutes, w-hile Dr. Cranston walked forward and bowed. An attempt by Judge Cap'es of Ore gon to make the election unanimous, w-as howled down. THE NEW BISHOP. Cincinnati, May 19. Dr. Earl Crans ston was born June 27, 1840, at Athens, O. His education was obtained at the Ohio university. He enlisted in the Lmited States service and rose to the rank of captain. In consequence of that service he is now an honored member of the military order of the Loyal Legion. His service in the church after the war was in the Ohio conference un til he was transferred to Evansville, Ind., then to Jacksonville, 111., then to Winona, Minn., and finally to Denver, Col., where he was presiding elder. Since 1.SS4 he has been one of the book agents of the Western Methodist Book concern in Cincinnati. He is a pulpit orator of high rank. FOR CONCILIATION. McKan ley's Adversaries Said to Be Dickering for Peace. Washington. May 19. A close friend of Allison today said that negotiations were actually pending between the op position and the McKinley managers and that an agreement might at any time be reached between them. This agreement will not necessarily result in the withdrawal of minor candidates. They will be given the opportunity of appearing in St. Louis as candidates if it is any satisfaction to them, and af terwards the nomination of McKinley will be made unanimous. A great many who are attached to the anti-McKinlcy organization would Ve glad to make their peace with the Ohio Napoleon if they could do so in a dignified way, and if only the proper advances are made they will be only too glad to accept them. The question is, however, are the McKinleyites so flushed with victory that they do not take the least trouble to conciliate their adversaries? The adversaires are longing for conciliation. BOYCOTT BROKEN But Milwaukee Street Cars Are Pat ronized Ifleagerly. Milwaukee, May 19. There is no change to note in the street car strike situation, excepit perhaps an indication that the boycott is breaking. A num ber of dealers today notified the rail way company that they would trae with it, and that it need send no more orders to Chicago. Merchants are said to be preparing to institute a boycott counter to that of the strikers' by refusing to sell to small dealers who will not agree to dispose of their goods to all companies regardless of affiliations. Meanwhile business in all branches is paralyzed and the cars of the street railway are only meagerly patronized. A QUEER ACCIDENT. Killed and Injured By the Breaking of the Air Hose. Toledo, May 19. One man was killed and six injured by a singular accident on a Lake Shore freight today. The train was going westward, at the edge of the city, when the air hose broke near the nsiddle of the train set ting the brakes on the front half of the train. The rear portion came forward with such terrible force that one empity stock car was doubled together as if it had been a paper box. In the car were seven tramps stealing a ride. Frank Harms, Washington, Ga., head crushed and will die. He was an employe of Sells Bros, and Forepjaugh's circus and left the show yesterday. The others were more or less seriously in jured. They all live in the south and east. QUAY WILL GO TO CANTON. Wants to Talk Over "Financial" Mat ters With McKinley. Washington, May 19. Senator Qauy said today that if the business of the senate occupying his time could be ar ranged that he was going to his home in Pennsylvania and would go on from there to Canton, O. When asked what his visit meant he replied that it did not mean anything; that he was going to Canton to talk over the financial question. 2Sore xlain Predicted.

A StatF of 150 Men Caring for the Injured. Sherman, Tex., May 19. The horrors of the Sherman cyclone multiply us the days go by. Farmers from the Choc taw bottom, ten miles east of the city, came in, bringing a crazed man. They had found him running across the fields, and when they made him a pris oner he talked incoherently of cy clones. He had a gash on the right side of his neck and a stab wound on the left side. The blood had run down, saturated the bosom of his shirt and dried. He could give a name and a. home, but when pressed for any de tails about himself he burst out with his recollections of the cyclone. "Take me out and kill me." lie plead ed pitifully, after he had been locked up in the insane ward at the county jail; "but don't leave me in here. This building will fall down on us and lull us all. Look right out of that window. Down there is where the women were dead under the fence. I saw it alb but I tell you I'm not responsible for it. Kill me if you want my life, but I tell you I'm not responsible." And thus he went on as long as any one would listen. He said his name ps Claude E. Jones; that his people live at No. 623 Garfield avenue. Kansas City; that his uncle is Thomas II. Mur ky, of tlie Land Title Guarantee e-oni-pany, of Kansas City; that he came to Texas to play ball. He had been ia Sherman the evening of the cyclone, had seen the effects of it. and. had walked out of town. "I have been waiKmg. walKing ever since," he said, "lying down at mgtit by some banK. but getting no sleeo. I have had notmne to eat. I'm readc to die.

BAU'ERUPICY SUBSTITUTE. The Senate Keport Practically the Same As Ilv. Broderieks. From Our Special Correspondent. Washington. May l. The senate committee on judiciary hns reported for the house bankruptcy bill a substitute whi-h is practically the same that Con-gr-ssma-, I !rortrick offered in the house which was defeated there by the small msrjin of P votes. The senate substitute is almost iden tical with the ideas su2e?ted ty Mr. liroderick in the house judiciary com mittee and on tlie floor. The contention was ail over the jn-o-unds of involuntary bankruptcy. "The house bid defined eight grounds upon -which a man might be thrown in to bankruptcy against his will sa'd Mr. F.rod-u-ick. "the senate bill' which Is the substitute I offeri in th hoa.-e, has but one v'z: the disposition of property to defraud creditors. Tioth bibs allow voluntary bankruptcy.

Iu Hgscoiv, tlie Ancient Capital of Ilussia., In Honor of the Coronation of the Czar. GOD SATE THE CZAR Is Inscribed In Letters of Fire and Light 0a Triumphal Arches Through out the City. Moscow, May 19. The arrival of the czar and czarina yesterday afternoon may be said to inaugurate the festival season in celebration of the coronation and for which the city and the whole empire has made months of prepara tion. Their majesties arrived in their spe cial train at the Smoienski station at 5:20 o'clock in the afternoon. The sta tion is about half way between the Kremlin and the Petrovski palace, which is to be the abiding place of the czar until the triumphal entry into the city on Thursday. The rain was pour- CZAP. AKD CZARINA, WITH ing- down in tor-rents as the train ar l rived at the station, but this seemed to have no effect on tlie loyal ardor of th.e people, and they were gathered at the station to the number of several thousand to accord a welcome to their t s veieign and to catch a glimpse of his august person. The streets were full of mud and the countless flags and streamers iluttered fitfully in a gusty breeze. An imperial pavillion had been erect ed at the station into which the im perial party stepped from their train, and from which they stepped into th.e equipages which carried them to the Petrovski palace. The pavillion was carpeted and was bright with floral decorations. A squad of the czarina's regiment of I 'hians wa.s the guard of honor on til? plaform. Grand Tuke Sergius. uncle of the czar and governor genci-al of Moscow, -with a brilliant suite of officers, awaited the arrival of the imperial party at the station. The ap-pearanee of the train was the sigt al for an outburst of cheers and the military band played a regi mental march as tlie train entered the station and the czar left his carriage. The czarina, v hen first she enter ed the imperial paviilion. was attired in a white tulle dress which was adorned with silver spangles, and she was pre sented with a bouquet. Their majes ties descended th carpeted stairs from the pavillion, entered a carriage and were driven to the Petrovski palace, awaited by cavalry officers of the high est rank. Following their carriages came three t"oiks. w hicli were occu pded by the Grand Duke Sergius and his grand duchess, the Gran 1 Duke M ichael-Mk haeloviteh, cousin of the late czar, anil his grand duchess, and by the intant Grand Duchess Obra Xicolaiovn. daughter of the czar, wiio is not six months old. The passage of the party through the streets was greet'-d with great enthu siasm, the route being lined with great crowds of elmering spectators. One of the special features of the present event in Moscow is th.e doing away with the custom of employing special constables in citizens' dress to guard the route of the czar's coming and going from the city. On general occasions the route of the czar's progress is guarded by a double line of military, double rank of civilians, the ordinary police in uni form, the police of the dense depart mr.t and the detective police. The doing away with the civilian ranks wiil give better opportunity for the czar's subjects at large to witness the progress of tile coronation. Preparations for the grand entry into the city are not yet completed, but are far advanced, and on all sides are evi dences of tlie confusion and hurry of the last touches for every great cele bration. The character of th.e prepar ations is meist imposing. Tiie palace of the Grand Fruke S e-gius is especialiy magniflcent. Opposite the eovernor general's residence is a great frame screen built to mask an unsightly buildir.g used as a guard room for the troops on official duty at tlie palace. Xear at ha.nd is a watch tower of the file d- partment, which was a clumsy and unsightly object, but lias been decorated with evergreens and thous ands of lamps for the illumination by night. Xearly all of the buildings in Moscow are bup.t of wood and brick aril cov ered indiscrimlnat dy with white stuc- the general effect being that of a sly white-walled city. The coloring he stiu o has Peen almost univer v renewed and freshened for the Cc lemi'i.g to the city a peculiarly "ft aspect. I whe The of the ski p; tr te Tverskava street, being the route Czar's progress from the Petrov ace to the Kremlin, has concen wifhin irs length much of the preparau n. mis preparation has necessarily been very elaborate to iii- sure a point of vantage for the vast number who are under official care while competition for position among those not oriieially provided for has been unprecedented. Many houses along the street have been rented at high rates for the whole year merely to secure the leases of a window for the pirocession on Thursday. For single windows fabulous prices have been of fered and many bitter disputes over points for seeing the spectacle have al ready found their way into the courts. The street shows along its length many commodious pavilions set aside for the use of the favored ones. All are solidly built and have the bulbed roofs and towers characteristic of the Rus sian architecture. Pavilions are placed at the intersection of this street with the Broad highways that follow the course of the various ramparts which have been built, in concentric rings about the ancient city. The coloring of all these temporary structures is most brilliant, in accordance with the Rus sian taste, and is confined to the primi tive colors in broad stripes and splotch es on roofs and sidewalks. Great iron columns have also been erected along the streets' length for a brilliant elec tric illumination. Huge obelisks, draped and vividly colored by day, and carrying brilliant lights from top to bottom by night, are features of the decorations. Electricity is used for the first time in the illuminations for a caronation. Elab orate preparations have been made by tlie authorities to avail themselves of this agent. Xearly all the public build ings have their complete outlines traced ST1-. (0 EMBUM9 OF THE CORONATION by light wooden frame works for the support of the electric lights and lamps which show the architectural outlines of tlie city traced in fire and light. The walls of the Kremlin itself and the tow ers of the buildings within it are thus outlined against the night sky by elec tricity and by thousands of yards of gas pipe perforated at short intervals for gas jets. Along the boulevards which run across the Tverskava street, the decorations and illuminations are also very elaborate. Everywhere the Russian flag is flying, especially con spicuous being the yellow imperial ban ner inscribed N, A. Q. Many of the pavilions and grand stands show the woodwork elaborately carved. There are numerous triumphal arches in scribed: "God Save the Czrfr," and nightly rehearsals of the illuminations of the public buildings and of the Kremlin are taking place. The movements of Ii Hung Chang and Field Marshal Count Yamagata are followed with the keenest interest, while the Emir of llnhkara and his suite in their magnificent robes of gold cloth and other eastern pot-mtates in gala attire excite general admiration. Xoariy every nation on earth has sent nor special ambassadors or representa tives, and every province in the vast Russian empire has sent a deputation, making an assemblage which in itself forms an interesting ethnological con gress. The tribes of Siberia and the Steppes, the Eskimos. Poles. Finland ers. Laplanders. Cossacks, Tartars, Ar menians. Georgians. Circassians, Cal-mut-ks. Kuril?. Chinese. Mongolians and a dozen others in strange, outlandish costumes and unknown tongues have come to Moscow from ail the ends of th.e empire to renew their allegiance to the great white czar, tiie autocrat of all the nusfias. They are wandering through th.e streets of this ancient cap ital in motley throngs today under the wondering inspection of other strange people, even from the westernmost part of America, who have come this long journey for the spectacle.

Ell DISGU: The Populist Senator of Ne braska Accuses Republican Senators of Insincerity ON SOUTHERN FRAUDS Frofessing- to Favor a Free Bal lot and Fair Count, They Eefuse to Look Into Ala bama Elections. Washington, May 19. The senate yes terday by a vote of 6 yeas to 41 nays defeated a motion by Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) to proceed with the consideration of the resolutions to investigate alleged election irregularities in Alabama oc curring at the time Governoroates was elected over Kolb (Populist). Four Republican Senators. Chandler, Frye, Gallineer and Morrill, and two Popu lists. Allen and Peffer, voted in the afii rmati ve. Allison took occasion to declare that the vote showed the insincerity of tiie Republican senators to their profes sions in behalf of honest elections. Mr. Sherman responded that it was not for the present senate to go into tlie gen eral investigation of elections, as these resolutions proposed, and Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, author of the reso lutions, explained that the adverse vote was due largely to the disinclina tion to displace appropriation bills. The entire day of the senate after 1 p. m. was jriven to the bill reftulatin gas rates in the District of Columbia. The proposed inquiry into alleared election irreg-ularites in Alabama came up by request of Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) for unanimous consent to pro ceed to the immediate consideration. Mr. Hill (Dem.. X. Y.) quickly objected, saying other business had the rigdrt of way and this proposed inquiry was not a privileged question. Mr. Chandler, author of the resolu tion of inquiry, pointed out that the question had been pending here in one form or another for the last two years, and it seemed evident, said Mr. Chan dler, that the resolution could not pro gress as long as the New York senator was here to object. Mr. Chandler asked unanimous con sent that a final vote be taken on the resolutions on Wednesday at 5 p. m. Mr. Allen argued that the ailesred Alabama irregularities was one of the highest privilege. He disclaimed, how ever any desire to prosecute any in quiry which would question the right of Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala.) to his seat. Mr. Faulkner (Dem., W. Va.) inter ject ;d the remark that this disclaimer of f.ry purpose to question the right of Mr. Morgan to his seat at once took from the question any privileged char acter it might possess. Mr. Allen responded sarcastically that he would not go so far as to term this suggesti'jn "pettifogging." yet he knew it would not deceive the intelligence of the senate. Mr. Allen added that in order to relieve the presiding officer, Vice President Stevenson, from ruline: on the question of privilege he would mini pi 1 nriwfflriBriiWMiKiMnMiTFni TTwnwmitirmwwwmTTi 1 1 iimi iiiiiimiim mmt ihiimi n 111 11 mnirmniMi Mliiiliin 111 ui hi urn iii mini 11 mini m mini Jl,'"." move to take up the resolution. This precipitated an unexpected vote. The motion was defeated yeas G, nays 41. Those voting in the affirmative were: Messrs. Chandler. Frye. Gallinger and Morrill. Republicans, and Allen and Peffer. Populists. On the announcement of the vote, Mr. Allen said, with some feeling, that tills disclosed to him what he had long suspected, that there was no sincerity on tire part of the Republican senators, with the exception of the author of the resolution. Mr. Chandler, as to pro ceeding with the investigation. He had felt satisfied, he said, that when it came to a show-down Republi can senators would join with Demo crars in defeating the investigation. He said he desired this vote to go before the country, in view of the claim that the Republican party stood for a fair election and an honest counting. Mr. Sherman answered briefly that Mr. Allen had entirely misapprehended the causes leading to the adverse vote. It was not for the present congress, but for the one assembling March 4 next, to inquire into any questions af fecting the sears of tlie senator's or members whose terms began at that time. The Senate had no jurisdiction, Mr. Sherman said, to examine into the IMMIGRATION" BIL.L COSIES UP. The Housa Discusses the Hatter but Action is Postponed. Washington, May 19. It was expect ed the house would take up the con sideration of the immigration bills on the calendar yesterday under a special order, but owing to the pressure of other matters, the order was not pre sented until just prior to adjournment. It was tiien amended so as to give to day and Wednesday until 4 o'clock for the consideration of these bills. There are four of them. The McCail bid pro vides an educational test: the Stone bill provides for consular inspection and the Mahaney and Corliss biiis pro vide for more rigid enforcement of tiie present immigration laws, and espec ialy deal with immigration from Canada. Quite a number of minor bills and conference reports were adopted and bills were passed as fol lows: To allow the bottling of distilled spir its in bond: to expedite the delivery of imported goods in parcels and pack ages not exceeding sreQ in value; to provide for the registration of trade marks 011 bottles, barrels, corks and other receptacles used in interstate and foreign commerce: to incorporate the Ancient Society of Colonial Dames of America; for the general distribution of condemned cannon by the secretary of war. and secretary of the navy; to compel the attendance of witnesses be fore the local land offices. The con ference report on the biil to improve the merchant marine engineer serviee was adopted and the biil to constitute Readville, Pueblo, and Durango, Colo., subports of entry was passed. Mr. Evans explained the purpose of the bill to permit distilled spirits, four years old or- over. to be bottled in bond. Such bottling would furnish an official guarantee of the age or quality of the whisky or other distilled spirits. Tiie orly whisky on Cue American market today with such a guarantee was bot tled in Canada. The biil furnished Mr. Morse with a text for some remarks on the evil effects of whisky drinking, and Mr. Colson, (Rep.. Ky.) on the spurious liquids sold under the name of Straight Kentucky Whisky." Mr. Tate (Dem.. Ga.) criticized the bill on the ground that it discrimina ted in favor of tne large distillers. The bill was passed, 113 to 20. 0 i T i A i i t I GOING TO LAKE WOOD. George Gould Getting Away from Tax Assessors. New York, May 19. It is a setth-d fact that Mr. George Gould will in the future call Lake wood his home, and the New York tax collectors will no longer have an opportunity to harass him with embarrassing questions about his resources or income. For some time a deal has been un der way looking to the purchase of a large plot of land at Dakewood. and this week the deeds were transferred to him. Mr. Gould made Lakewood his home since I 93, when he went there for a short stay. He thought the New York tax assessors were becoming too severe in their assessments and was det u -m inert to find some place where th"r would be congenial company, but no burdensome taxes, and wlvn-e he could make a home for his children away from the city.

American Bicyclist Loses Both Heats in the Baris Race. 15.000 PEOPLE THERE. The Bistance -2,000 Meters and Hotly Contested. The Defeat of the American Pleased the Crowd. Paris, May 19. Morin. the cel-brated French bicyclist, outspeeded John S. Johnson, th.e American, in both heats of the IbuOa meter race at th.e Velodrome de la Sedne. Extraordinary fe-ling had been man ifested in the race and considerable warmth of feelinir had developed be tween the two prineipjuis over misunder standings as to th.e time and -place of meetiiar. Doth were in a determined mood, and the 15. COO persons present leit sure of a good race when they come upon the track. The appearance of the two racers was made the occasion for a hearty outburst of applause. Again, during- the rat e. Johnson was accorded an ovation when he stopped bo allow his adversa ry to c'nanae a punctured tire. Upon the resumption of the race Johnson led and after several att-mpts to fret Morin in front, so as to force him to set the pace, both st-.oped and leaned asainst the railinacs. Morin th-reupon dismount e-i an-i wall-led off. while J"hr.son rln ished the course. This match., however, was de-clar-.-d voi 1. o-A-in-a to th.e leaning on tiie railing, b'pon this trie cr.awd hooted anl applauded, a- cor-ding- to the direction th-ir sympathies took. .V pacemaker was th-n provided.

The second h-at showed a repetition of the ta-ties in the frst. Johnson he inar forced into th- 1-ad. He spurted upon ent.-riroa: th- last lap an-l trained about :F yards n ins adversnrya but was eaain caught and beaten by about a 1-ri.ath. The defeat of the American pleased th.e crowd aral the winning Frenchman was frantically h--ioi by the thous ands of spoetators.

Is the Revolution Which has Broken Out in Peru. (Copyrighted, 1S9S. by the Associated Press.) Lima. Peru, May 19. Via Galveston, Tex. The revolt against the authority of the government which has broken out at I-iUitos on the upper Amazon, sixty miles above th.e mouth of the Napo. is classed in orficial circles here as being- little more than a farce. It is ad-led that it is only a question of time when order will be restored and irreat indignation is expressed asrainst the tr-acnery of certain government employes tha-re. I 'resident PF-rola will dispatch two cruisers and tr'-ops immediately to Iquitos. The town has large govern ment iron works, a ship yard and a iloating dock capable of raising a thousand ton ship, as well as other important wanks. JOINT CASES CONTINUED.

Mi PKIEST IS ACTIVE. Forcibly Throws a Young Lady from Church. Pittsburg, May 19. A factional fight between tne German and Irish mem bers of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church at New Kensington entered into a stormy scene at Vespers last even ing. Father Rutter. a German, recently took charge of the parish. It is al leged that he has an income besides his salary and living well, rode a smart horse and attended several sporty events. The Irish members of the con-g-reaation criticised his actions, which caused him to remark that he would rather live as he did than live with pigs, like the Irish. Last Friday evening three girls were standing before the church tak-iing, and were ordered away by the priest. Last night a 1-cture from the pulpit was given them and Annie and Magpie Keating left the church. Father Rut ter mentioned Letitia McCarthy and said she had acted unladylike. S'.e arose and denied his statements. Father Rutt-r ordered her to l ave the church and she refused. The reverend gentleman walked down the aisle, slapped h-r face several times, pushed her out of the door. and. it is alleged, kicked her as she was being ejected. The couia rogation was in an uproar and several women fainted, but no one in terfiled with the priest. BAND CONCERT UNCERTAIN. But Will be Given if the Weather is Favorable. The rain of this noon may interfere with the public festivities of the Knights of Pythias. John Marshall says he is not yet decided whether he had better or not give up the band eon cert at the park this evening. If it rains no more it may be possible to give one since the park about the band stand is largely sand and not muddy. The rain was terrific while it lasted and wooden sidewalks were afloat in some parts of the city and streets ran full of water. The wind and rain played havoc with the decorations in front of store build ings. In some instances the bunting was blown down and in every instance it was badly faded and th- sidewalks beneath ran gay with red and blue. 3IRS. ST. JOHN SPEAKS. At the Kansas City Methodist Con ference. Kansas City, May 19. The woman question took up the principal part of today's sessi.m of the Methodist Pro testant conference, and adjourned until tomorrow without it being disposed of. The committee on certiheat-s had re ported favoring the seating' of ali dele gates v, ho are enrolled as members, which of course includes the women, the committee holding that they were con st it u t Finally elected. Rev. Thomas Lewis of Maryland and Rev. Eua?nF St. John of Kansas made speeches on the question. The cornerstone, of the new Kansas City university wild be laid this after noon. HIAWATHA SENDS AID. A Carload of Supyjlies Sent to Reserve Today. Hiawatha, May 19. At a meeting held here last night relief was provided for th.e cyclone sufferers at Reserve. A carload of provisions, clothing, etc., will be sent to Reserve this afternoon. Car penters, brickmasons and laborers in great numbers have gone to the strick en cities to assist in removing the deb ris and rebuilding the destrciyed sec tions. Governor Morrill has been tele graphed to asking the use of the tents belonging to the state until houses can be erected. AS BAD AS REPORTED. A Letter Received in the City from the Storm District. A postal card received in Topeka to day fr.-m E. L. Miner of Sabetha. broth er of S. J. and J. M. Miner of Topeka, says the storm news from that place has not b-en exaggerated. "It is a bad wreck." he says, "a strip through from southwest to northeast and one-fourth of a mile wide is torn out of the town just west of its center. Several are dead and numbers are in jured. Everything is covered with mud and driven full of splinters. The wreck is terrible." The card was written Monday morn ing lkdlowing the cyclone. Another card from Mr. Miner says that the farm houses and other build ings in the Bony creek country, six miles northeast of Sabetha. are almost completely demolished, many of them fine ones.

The fight over the Santa Monica and San Pedro deep water harbors has been resumed in the coufer-nce over the river and harbor bill. The struggle over the Santa Mon ica provision ended in a compromise by providing tor a commission of five en gineers, one from the navy, one from the coast and geodetic surv ey and three from civil life, to be selected by th.e president. A proposition has been made in. conference to have the three civil engineers named in the bill in stead of being selected by the president. Some opposition has been manifested to this, although it is said a majority- of the conference favors the change. The California senators, learning of the pro posed change, have secured a hearing before the conference today. Senator White will address the conference and insist that the agreement unanimously adopted in the senate shall not be changed. Another contest in th- con ference is over two rival Louisiana projects, the Bayou Plaquemhne im provement added by the senate and the other the Oaicasou improvement put in by the house, struck out by the sen ate committee and then reported by the senate. Tiie house confer es refuse to agree to the senate amendment and Senator Cat'l'ery, a member of the sen ate committee on commerce, insists that if any Louisiana improvement is to be sacrificed that at Calcascu should be tiie one. It is practically d- cicled that the sen ate will ree-de- from tiie amendments pi-.jviding for a boat railway at The Dalles of the Columbia river in Ore gon, and for the Lake Fnion and Washington canal at Seattle. Wash., but a provision is hk--!y for a direct ap propriation of .150.0-i-ci to be immediate ly available for the Seattle improve ment. NETTELS APPOINTED. Third Ward Councilman Blade Steno grapher in Judge Foster's Court. For the first time there is n-w an official stenographer of the United States court ia Topeka. Judge Foster today received authority to make such an appointment and he at once named Councilman C. H. Nettels of the Third ward. The appointment is to go into effect at once and Mr. N-ttels is to oeeupy the room now used by Jud ere Fost-r for his chambers and Judge Foster will move into tile larg- room adjoining now used by the commissioners. Mi-. Nettels is also private secretary to Judge Foster. New Invention in Bicycles. London, May 19. A new bicycle in vention which is looked upon as likely to supercede pneumatic tires is shortly to be presented to the public. It is vaguely described as a "frame bicycle pneumatically slung, while the wheels are solid tired." Thus it is claimed there is no danger of puncture, the resi lience is perfec t, there is an entire ab sence of vibration and the wheels can be produced at half the cost of the pres ent machines. Hannis Taylor Will Stay. Madrid. May 19. The fact that the United States minister. Mr. Hannis Taylor, has arranged with a transport agency to convey his personal furni ture on board the steamer Conde Wifrc-do. bound for New Orleans to morrow, led to the report that the min ister was to leave Madrid. This, it is said, is not th.e cae. Mr. Taylor's family is returning to the United States but their departure has nothing- to do with politics, and the minister is going to reside at the legation. JTo Receiver at Argonia. Bank Commissioner Breidenthal has written a circular letter to the cred itors of the Argonia State bank, which was closed a few days ago. stating that he cannot make the necessary aficlavit that the bank is insolvent so that a re ceiver may be appointed. He recom mends that the prc-.'-nt officers be al lowed to remain in charge of the bank and that creditors accept pay in 25 per cent installments of three, six and nine months. lie says this will avoid an expensive roc ei vershi p. Germany Will Hang On. Berlin. May 19. During the debat- in the reic hstag today on the credits ask--d for Idaniai'ian-1, (j--"man South w-st Africa. Dr. Kayser. chi-f of the colonial olrice. de-.-ha red that in the opinion of th.e government Germany should never abandon her possessions in southwest Africa and expressed the hope that re inforcements of 4"0 troops would be sent there by the end of the month.

However much the people of the Fifth district may like Mr. Calderhead they cannot afford to send to congress this year, a man who so misrepresents them on the financial issue. Cincinnati Enquirer: If we must have a gold reserve let us bury it in some s,.c!uded spot, instead of keep ing it in the sub-treasury in New York, where it is so convenient for the raid ers. There would be no demand for gold redemption if the government it eelf did not create it. It is row almost certain that no ac tion regarding the Pacific railroads in debtedness will be taken during the present session of congress. This fact will probably lead to redoubled efforts on the part of Mr. Burton and his sup porters to secure his election to the United Slates senate. It is now conceded by all factions, Eilver men and gold men; protection ists and free traders, that there can be no tariff legislation until silver is re stored to coinage. The silver question then, becomes, in fact the only issue in the approaching campaign. It is. there fore, important that the people should pee that they are properly represented on this question in congress. By the recent civil service order of the president, official patronage has been cut down to almost nothing out ride of appointments, which must be confirmed by the senate. Now if con tress would pass a biil granting a pen sion to everybody who has served in the army, its members might find some time to devote to matters which, concern the general public. Hitherto almost the entire time of a 1 ma jority of consrssmen has been taken up in securing- government positions or pensions for their eonstitutents. mainly for the purpose of securing their own re-election. It will be a welcome change when a congressman's return to the house depends on his merits as a legis lator, rather than his ability as a pri vate claims attorney or his success in getting places for a lot of applicants for office, at home. The members should be thankful for the chance that is taking- place, along with the rest of ua. Eastern gol 1 bugs, Democrats and Republicans alike are united in the be lief that McKinley is an unsafe man. Piatt is certain of it and so is the Xew York World. They say that if elected his success would open the way to such a disastrous dicker of the high protec tionists with the silver men as Senator Teller has recently confessed resulted In the passage of the Mc-Xinley tari.T bill and the Sherman ailwr purchase act in liio. In discussing the situation the "World says: "The free silver Re publican senators wil hold the balance of power cjuite as firmly in the next congress as they do in this one. There will be five Republican senators cer tainly, and possibly eleven, who will not consent to the passage of any rev enue or tariff bill that dees not provide for the free coinage of silver. They have blocked both the house bills in the present senate. They freely say that they can and will do the same in the next. With a weak and wobbling president in the White house, and the dilemma cf Is.-.' rep..tcd with added strenuousntss and a larger silver ma jority in the senate, can there be uny honest doubt of the result?" The German reiehstag has recently passed a bill increasing the export bounty on sugar. This is considered to be damaging to the sugar interests of the United States and the sugar plan ters of Louisiana are demanding of congress that the protective duty on f bounty fed sugar be increased. All this means additional taxation on the people of both countries. In Germany the taxes will be levied directly and paid over to the export manufacturers in bounties: in this country they will be levied indirectly on the consumers, who include the whole population and will find their way into the pockets of the sugar men. This is all very fine for the sugar men of Germany and of the United States, but what do the peo ple of the two countries get for their outlay? The fact that the decision of Chief Justice ?dartin in the mortgage redemp tion case has been reversed by the Uni ted States supreme court will doubtless be seized upon by his political oppon ens as a reason why he should not be nominated as ins own success. r. The people of Kansas as a body wiil seoree iy take this view of the matter. Jus tice Martin's decisions have generally tended to give the people an equal show with the corporations and in this par ticular they may be classed as unique. Though his decision in the mortgage case may not have been in accordance with the law and the constitution, the feeling is likely to prevail to a consider able extent that it contained a measure of justice. If the matter be left to the people Judge Martin will continue at the head of the supreme court of Kan sas. A reporter for the New York Post asked eleven leading bank presidents of that city, all Republicans, "Would you be satisfied with the nomination of McKinley for president on his record on the currency question as it stands today?" Six expressed themselves in the negative; one announced his inten tion of voting for McKinley if nomi nated, and four declined to answer. This is one of trie principle reasons that the people are so unanimous in demand ing M-. ICinley's nomination. They have become convinced that the best tiling for them is always that which the New York bankers are opposed to. What is called political principle is equently nothing more than a blind I adherence to party. In the settlement of the money question there is a prin j ciple involved which should place the j matter above partisanship. No free silver man can afford to vote to send a. gold bug to congress, even thousrh he be the regular nominee of the party j with which that man affiliates. The 1 same is true of the gold men. They cannot afford to vote for a free coinage man f.ar congress just because he is on the ticket. Tlie cause of silver should be made to stand or fall on its merits this year. The congressional district is the place to settle it. Silver Kay Oppose Adjournment. Wasbir.rton, May 19.

Tlie movement embraces silver advocates in both houses and of all parties.

Hiss -tiogers of Liberal Trust 3d a New Priend Too Far. St. Louis. Stay 19. The Missouri Pa cific cflicials are investigating the claim of Miss Rogers of Liberal, Kan., that she was robbed of a trunk by an ad venturess throu-h the aid, either un conscious or deliberate, of one of their conductors. Acoceaina- to the young woman she boarded a Missouri I'aeitie train at Kan sas City, Mo., last Monday. Her father put her on the train and asked the con ductor to assist in getting his daugh ter's bareaaee recheeked at the union station in this city for Earthold, 111., whither she .was going. This tin' conductor promised to do. On the way down lie was very pleasant to her. and alter passing Sedalia, intro duced her to a woman who got on there. The conductor seemed well acquainted with her. So with customary Kansas innocence Miss Rogers told her new found friend of trie contents of her trunk. She had. she sai 1, a lot of new dresses, a gold watch and some valuable jewelry. All t-ad, the contents were worth about ?go. Upon arriving at the Union station, the condui -tor told his charge that the woman would attend to her baggage, and the supposed adventuress readily oonsented to undertake the task. She left with the girl's check and came back after a time with a pasteboard check pui porting- to be from St. Louis to Dart he id on the .Dig Pour. When Miss Rogers arrived in P.arth old she found no trunk and discovered that her check was bogus. Has gagemnster Steele was notified and is trying to sift the mystery. The I girl insists that notes passed between the woman and the conductor after the introduction. At the baargage master's office it is sari that the conductor's name was John French. French Put on ids train for Kansas City early Friday morning. THE LETTISH CAME DACE. Sut It was Harked "Fraudulent" and Hanker was Out $2.50. II.

How Cycling Speed Has Increased The Race Horse was Distanc ed; Will tlie Wind B9 Outclassed? mers is something so exhilarating In the very act of bicycling that when two or mora wheelmen journey together along a smooth highway even the strongest ties of friendship cannot restrain them from un dertaking a spurt now and then to test each other's quality, and it is to this mild but filmost involuntary spirit of rivalry, engendered in such informal ways, that wo may trace the. origin of tho hot races that have delighted The public and en thused tho craft ever since cycle racing bo gan, nearly 20 ve,rs ago. It was in Rs7S that Mr. Will R. Pitman of New York took the honors in tlie first regulation miie bicycle race ever conducted in America. Hia time was 3 minutes 57 seconds, and the record was hailed ad mar velous ail over the sporting world. It is said that Mr. Pitman taxed his physical powers to their vary utmost in orde to ac complish this feat. Since that time the facilities for making gpeed hnva been wonderfully increased. In the first place, smooth courses were laid out and established and wheels were built on lighter arjd better plaus. Indeed the improvements in the make of wheels has b:a)u tho fcroatest o all factors in speed producing. But. still, however well selected the ma terial and well made and highly geared the wheel, there must be great and steady force applied in order to attain tho great desideratum speed. This motive power, strong and lasting, has been developing for muny years, during which a primitive sraors has becomo a business enterprise as a 3 1! 1 ,'3 MFI.VIX O. PKN'yiS well as a worldwide source of health and recreation. Kaaing riruggles too crude to claim pr.rentaa.i have changed into digni fied contests for athietia supremacy under the control of a responsible governing body. During tills evolution the rate of speed Framed licp.alrssly behind that cf the trot ting hor--e, but in the course of time the trotter was p;i'sod, and even tho fleeter pacer was distanced. The running horse was still ahead of the wheel, however, and though many efforts were mada to outdo him he held his prestige until last year, when E. F. Leaner! cut, him down, with a record of 1 mimite 35 seconds. One would think that, having outstrip ped the great, king0 of the rr.ee tracks, the bicycler would curb his ambition and be content, but not so. As is now well known, Melvin O. Dennis, a youth of Denver, has brought the mile record down to the astounding figures of 1 minute 113 5 seconds and is now working hard to lower his own record, and in all parts of the country the crack wheelmen are pedal ing away. Pent on thff same object. Tho most audacious and, one may say, intripid, undertaking ever entered into by sporting enthusiasts is tiiat of the six ex pert wheelmen, who, headed by the famous Dan Cuba tin n cf Sr. Louis, are making ready for their jtrand effort to make the lasaek mile evnr traveled on wheels, and at tho same time outrun tho Empire State express, tho fastest train in the world. This extraordinary contest, which is to tuke place .Tenet 5, is attracting wide at tention. The cyclists will ride a two wheeled machine fashioned for the use of sis wheelmen. It is called a sextuple., and. though it weighs only 1373a pounds, is built very strongly. The racu is to he over one mi!o, at a point whuro the huge firing locomotive may sr.fcly crowd on its greatest speed. In order to test 'ha claims of the makers of tlie text uplet that, with their machine, the unaided muc-cles and sinews of man can carry him more rapidly than the most perfected application of the powers of steam, .1 five mile track is to be laid at tho side of tho Now York Central railroaci, near Poughkeepsie, N". Y., and here the test; will he lumin. It is necessary that the track should be Evo miles io length, as tho full Kpeed of the sextupiet cannot be attained in less than tv.-o miles, and it takes two more to came to a s.opi, so that the six riders may alight safely. The race will, therefore, be over the third, center, miieof tho track. The bicycle truck to be laid wiil bo as smoot h as a billiard table, it being neces sary that not even tile srnaiiest obstacle SPEFPtxa THE SKXTUPLET. should obstruct the path of the flying wheelman. The steering of tho machine will b3 done by tlie man in front. Just aheod of him is a wedge shaped alumin ium ''air cutter," which will, it is said, appreciably reduce thr atmospheric resist ance. The gear is compounded to 153, and the stronrrth of tho mitrhin Is such that it could bear a we: grit of 2.'t'..'0 pounds. "Whatever jm.it be the recailt cf this unique com-"?, it wt.l undoubtedly be the mostiateie v c cent the world has ever seen.

Among tho imported crop of pitchers this sprinft are a few who will take ad vanced places in the National league after a few years of experience. Among them are Brigt-s, Friend, Seymour, Bowen, Do heny. MoJames, Hill, McCreary, Mains and Foreman. Several of them may fail on account of intemperate habits, but they all show rare promise. Let me pay a tribut3 to one of the best and most deserving players in the National league. I refer to Sam Thompson of tho Philadelphia club. This star is ono of the veterans. I believe he is 37 years old, but as a sure Celder and thrower he has no equal. Since 1893 Thompson has dropped but one fly ball, a record which stands alone. Aa a batsman ho always rank.-) among the flret. This great player owes his long popularity on the ballfield to ex emplary hsibits. What a living sermon for the young players who are -undermining their future by drink and dissipation O. P. Caylob. RINGSIDE GOSSIP. Information comes from abroad that Eilly Plimmer is in n bad way physically. Al Smith is going to England to wit ness the Kid Lavigne and Dick Burgu tight. Tom Sharkey and Denver Ed Smith have been matched to box at San Francis co next month. Australian Billy Murphy offers to fight any 110 or 115 pound maa in America for .500 a sale arid a purge. It is possible that George Dixon may soon issue a challenge to fight the winner of the Palmer-Murphy "go." Jack Skelly, the clever Brooklyn boxer, Is the bright particular star of a vaudeville how that is attracting large crowds. Lilly Ahearn has recovered from his ill ness and Dow desires to box either Kid McPartland, Charley Barnet, or any 130 pounder. Jack McAuliffe is home from Hot Springs. Jack is said to have cleaned up $L.',0uu by his trip and greatly benefited bis health. Frank Zimpfer and Tommy Dixon are to try conclusions before the Toronto Rowing club on May 26. Tho pair will box 15 rounds. Jaok Everhardt says that if McICaever fails to accept his challenge he will go to England and try and arrange a mill with the winner of the Lavigne-Burge mill. Joe GaDS, the Baltimore pugilist, is hot on the trail of Frank Erno. Gans says that ho believes Erne is afraid to meet him, as he evades making a match on the Slightest pretext. EIRD3 WITH E!G RECORDS. Homing: Pigeon That Have Captured a Greut Manj Frizes. An enterprising sportsman, Mr. William H. Doming of San Francisco, has imported from Antwerp a number of homing pi geons, by means of which he expects to win every contest in which his birds are en tered. Each of them has a pedigree and a record of which any pigeon ought to be proud. Each bears upon its feathers the stamps of the European cities from which it has made long flights to tho home left in Antwerp. One of the birds, a red cock, has a record cf flight to Antwerp from London, Dover, A SPECIMEN" QUARTET. Birmingham, Manchester, Carlisle, Edin burgh. Perth and Inverness, the hist place COO miles distant from home, and in two years took 27 prizes in contests of speed and endurance. Another, a blue male, holds tho record for speed from Bordeaux to Antwerp, a distance of 650 miles, and its wing feathers bear the stamp of Arras, Paris, Orleans, Poitiers, Bordeaux, Bilbao, Burgos and Madrid, from which place it Caw to the home loft of Duerinck, at Ant werp. All the birds have records of flight of from 450 to 700 miles, and the importer hope, from their progeny, to develop some wonderful birds in points of endurance, length ot Cight and speed. A Matter of Muscle. The hicyclo iiiil climbing problem is one mucli mooted. The American Cyclist talked of it recently. "After ail," saya this stanch authority, "hill climbing abil ity docs not seem to depend much ou ankle motion or tiie hundred and one oilier items of procedure included iu the voluminous 'hiuts on hill climbing" given out by tho newspaper press. The first rate hill climber gets to the top without loss of wind or strength, and without bothering himself at all wfth tiie smaller particulars Involv ed. A good physique and a properly ad justed machine are tlie essentials. Speed ing, for instance, calls for the folPiwing of special rules and directions, but hill climb ing is more a matter of pure muscle." A Canadian Customs Concession. The new Canadian customs regulations contain one provision which will be of great advantage to members of tho L. A. V. who contemplate making summer tours through Canadian territory. Refer ence is had to the permission given to members of the League to enter with their bicycles without making a deposit, pro vided they produce and leave with the cus toms ofiicer at the place and time of en trance tiie ticket of membership for the present year in the League and fill up and eigo in triplicate a collector's permission, on tlie face of which shall be written a fuil description of the bicycle. Golf In Xew York. Golf has taken a firm hold in Xew York city, so much so that the park commis sioners have established golf links in Yin Cortlandt park for tiie use of the public, it being necessary to obtain a permit. The rule regarding the golf permits for Van Cortlauclc links in TSew York city wiil not debar a club from obtaining the right to use the course to hold a special cup match or a competition cf similar importance on any staked day.

Some novel feat ures will be in t r .due-d in the Cubari American fair which will open at Mad ison Square Garden next week. Chief among' the relies to be exhibited is the machete with which an unknown Cu ban c.rved out the heart of J-so Marti's assassin. Marti, U will be re called, was slain by a traitor, who es caped and ohiairied the reward offered for the Cuban leader, dead or alive. Later three men from General Gomez's camp came up with the assassin and one of them literally dug- the heart out of t'ne body of tire traitor. Another in i terestiriit feature of the fair will be a nickel-in-tlie-siot machine with this in scription L'tvp a nickel in the slot and buy a dead Spaniard. Trie machine is so arranged that Spaniards are pictoriaHy slaughtered at 13 cents per head. The idea, how ever, is that each nickel dropped in the slot wiii purchase a bullet for the insur gent army, and as the sharpshoul ers of Gomez and Maceo waste little ammu nition, the presumption is that each bullet wiil brine: d.ovn a Spanish roy alist. Autocrrai'h letters will form a dis tinct department at the fair. Ail the insurcier.t leaders have sent samples of i their chiroraphy and visitors will have a lari.tr assortment to cheese from, j Tiie Cui.an method of trrinding sujrar i cane will b shown and there will be a numb, r of minaiure horses, showing Cuban life in its various pnases. Mrs. I.e Cju.-s adu, the wife of tiie sec retary ot tire Cuban Junta, will preside over tiie flower booth, and other ladies in the Cuban colony will dispense con fectionery soda water, fruit and other sr. ,od things of life. Thousands of salable articles of one kind and another, have been donated by merchants, church people, tiie his torical soc:. ties and others who sympa thize with tne cause of free Cuba. The value of those donations alone is in excess of $l.'M"i), and it is expected that they will fetch much more when put up at auction in the garden. A PETRIFIED 31 AX.

Facts and Fancies Jotted Down in the Daily Notebook. Pome Topeka young men object to being mentioned as Tom. Dick or Harry, as the case may be, in tiie write up of parties. f course these young men ntrver stray beyctnd the confines of the society column, or they would learn that even Kansas statesmen are known as Jim, Bill, etc. A real swell who has been christened John will in sist upon beiner called Jack. "Isn't it a little late in tiie day for a girl to find out a man is a earl when he has: accepted her hospitality and outraged it by making remarks about her?" asks a Topeka woman. "I say roan, because there is nothintr else, to call such a creature; one of tiie iiius- trations of the poverty of our language on occasion." The youmrr lady clerks in stores des-ig-n;;.:e the youna' men who wait at the cori'.srs to ole them at ti o'clock side w a'k chappies." Mrs. Willis Bord Moore, the president of tiie State Social Science Federation of Women's Clubs, will talk at the Ot tawa Chautauqua on "Women as Kdi torial Writtrs." one would think that women, like the Boentsen rays, had only just been discovered, to ju.lure from the incessant clamor, the virulent abuse, the exair pviv.tod praise w ith which she is daily erected in newspapers ami books.

Kansas City, May B. A horse whip ping took phi iv in the rotunda of the Midland hotel List night about S:30 o'clock. Miss Nannie Clapper, the Western Union Telegraph company's night operator at the hotel, laid a raw hide over the head and shoulders of "Ted" Thompson most vigorously, at least fifteen times. Thompson tried to grab the whip from her hand, but failed, though lie broke it. However, Miss Clapper broke the tip of it over his head. Thompson fled out of the Seventh street entrance, breathing ven geance. Thompson who is an operator in the main oilice of the company, and Miss. Clapper used to reciprocate attentions not a little, but of late, they have been at outs, owing to a foolish jealousy. About three weeks ago a felon develop ed on one of Miss Clapper's hands and she was obliged to go to the Sisters' hospital to have it treated. She was compelled to remain there two weeks. During her absence, it is said, Thomp son wnt to her house, SOS Bast Fif teenth street, and ransacked her trunks and other belongings in search of let ters. Following that she claims that he circulated stories derogatory to her character. 31'KINLE Y'S SILENCE. Kussell Sage's Opinion of the Ohio Man. New York. May 19. Russell Sage donned a McKinley button some weeks ago, and lias been putting in work for the- hio man ever since. Today he submitted to an interview in McKin ley's behalf, in which he says: "It is utter nonsense to assume that Governor McKinley is under any obli gation to come out nov and net mo; controvei sy over the mone y question. He has adopted a digniiied course in maintainiog silence, and it will be found the people admire him for his stand. They know he believes in sound money, any dollar of the country equal in -value to any other, and that is ail business men ask." .Mr. Sage thinks McKinley rhoivs pood sens-; and propriety in waiting for the convention to formulate the party's views on the currency.

Topeka numbers among her aspir ants for histronic fame those in almost all branches of the art. Will Wads worth is doing black face in "Ala bama;" Miss Lottie Bowes aspires to comedy; but Miss Ethelynn Palmer worships at the shrine of Shakespeare, Dumas, Belasco; writers of the legiti- j mate and the serious drama. Miss Palmer has returned to her home in Topeka after her first season as an actress. She arrived direct from New York Sunday, and is at her home at 313 West Seventh street. Miss Palm er's achievements for her first year were away beyond even the greatest hopes of her friends, for she appeared in New York in the forces of Augustin j Daly, one of the foremost managers of America, and with a no less stellar at traction than Mrs. Potter and Kyrle Bellew. Miss Palmer was seen at her home today by a Journal representative. She is resting up from a long, hard season and her trip from New York. She is a tall, handsome young woman with rather dark blone hair and blue eyes. The stage with her is a passion. "I was quite successful" she said in answer to a remark. "But nothing to w hat 1 hope to be and what I aspire to. I went with Daly in February. I was Rosalind in Mrs. Potter's and Mr. Bel lew's production of "Romeo and Jul iet" at Biaiy's theater. It is a small part. Only two productions were given by them during their ten weeks stay in New York. The other was "The Queen's Necklace," a five act drama by M. Decourcelle. In that I had a very pretty part, that of Rosette. "Daly's productions are great and both Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew are very kind people. Mr. Daly does not depend on stage managers to rehearse his companies, but does this himself, and he is a great teacher. He does not read your lines and then say 'Now say that like I did,' but he tells why cer taoin expression should be given. "I never appeared in amateur per formances, but I have recited a great deal in Topeka. Prof. Cleaves taught me to read. I went to Chicago last July, and went from manager to man ager to get an engagement. I would not take positions offered me in come dy. I had set my heart on appearing in the serious drama, and I thought I must play something- like Lady Mac beth, or nothing. "I made my debut in Chicago as Sis ter Charity in "The Orphan Sisters.' Then I tried an ingenue part or two, and instead of skipping about the stage I walked with solemn tread and de livered my lines with a tragic mien. The manager stood in the wings, and asked me how long I had been playing Lady Macbeth. "The middle of October I went out with Warren Conlan, playing in Othel lo, Virginius, and the legitimate dra ma. I was in this company playing east until in February .when I secured the engagement at Daly's. "I could have gone to Australia with Daly's company, but mamma would not think of it. "When the ten weeks' run was through, Maleom Wiliiams, who was playing in the "Heart of Maryland" spoke to the manager aDout taking me into that company to play the opposite part to him. Mrs. Leslie Carter will not have an actress appear in the com pany with her who is blonde. Her own hair is red, and is ever so pretty. She asked Mr. Williams if I were a brunette or a blonde, and when he replied that I was light Mrs. Carter said 'Don't send for her.' Williams then told her that my hair was rather dark blonde, and she said "What color are her eyes?' Blue' said Mir. Williams. 'Don't send for her, then' she repieated. "So 1 went to Boston for three weeks, where I had a part in a new- comedy, which went wonderfully well. But I can't bear comedy and I believe I should have died if the run had not closed w-heii it did. I like to travel bet ter than playing in one place contin ually, and I had grown strong during tiie winter, but in Boston the dressing rooms were up winding stairs from the stage, and I had a complete change in twelve minutes. It was dreadfully hard work. "How did I learn to make up? Well, have always liked painting, and mak ing up is just making a picture of a face. I keep before my mind's eye the face of some beautiful woman of the character I am to represent, and try to make my face look like her's. "I shall be with Daly again next year I think. His season opens usually in September." Miss 'Palmer longed to be an actress when she was a little girl. After see ing Julia Marlowe when she was but 11 years old she told her friends that she would do better than tha.t some day. If Miss Palmer's genius keeps pace with her ambition and determination, which it promises to do, she may make good lier declaration. 2Ian and Horses Killed by Lightning Wichita, May 19.

Ireland is Unfortun ate in Speculation. St. Paul, May 19. When asked about the report that he had lost most of his fortune through depreciation in real estate, Archbishop Ireland said: "Why, certainly, my property is not worth as much as it was. Real estate has depreciated everywhere, and, of course, I've had to let some lots go on mortgages, or, rather, although I could have held them, it did not seem good business policy to keep them. But the facts are not as bad as the story puts them. Understand, too, none of the church property is concerned. I own considerable property here, some of which is rented and not used for ec clesiastical purposes. But I'm allud ing only to my personal belongings. "It all amounts to this, that Bin com pany with every one else that held real estate during tiie hard times, don't feel quite as well off as 1 did before, but the same condition prevails throughout the country, and I expect to see ail my holdings regain their former value."

CR 131 1 N A LS FAYO R ED. Coronation Manifesto Favors Certain Russian Classes. London, May 19. The correspondent of the Times at Moscow says: In the first draft of the Coronation manifesto, a paragraph provides for the cancellation of warnings of the censors standing against Russian news papers, which amount to three million roubles and the suppression of the pa per. Most of the Russian papers have had a couide of warnings hatming over their heads for years past. This para graph in the manifesto w as eliniiaati d at the instigation of certain court min isters. Russia pressmen are naturally dis pleased, but it remains to be seen if the paragraph will be recovered.. Criminals and debtors will doubtless be favored and political prisoners will also be forgotten. Tiie impecunious nobles whose es tates are heavily incumbered, will pro bably be relieved by reductions in the interest on their loans. There is also talk of the sons of merchants and man ufacturers receiving the same ritrbts regarding the movements as to the no bility. YV'El'LER IS SCARED.

"I'll see," replied the clerk merrily, as he looked over the records. "The case' has been trid. and the judge has it under advisement." "Dot ain't what Toliver toll me." said the colored woman argum-ntative-ly. "He saiil he g.jl the divos. and pave it to another woman, and she folded it up and put it in her trunk." When Mr. "Waters recovered he ex postulated "But how could that be when the judge has not granted it?" "I dtinno, but that's what Toliver tel l me, and I believe that wench has pot the divos in her trunk." she said as idle left the building. She evidently thought everyone granted a divorce got a piece of paper like a marriage license. 31 0 ENTAIN AND PLAIN. Preparation for the Denver Festival Moving On.

Capt. S. 0. McDowell Says Col. Alexander Warner, Will Not Be a ('audi late For Lieutenant Governor. Candidates For Stats. Senatorships Are Numerous Hay Close Contests in Prospect. Captain S. O. McDowell of Colum bus, editor of the "Courier" and mayor of the city, is in Topeka attending the Knights of Pythias grand lodge. Captain McDowell is the authority for the statementthat notwithstanding the fact that Col. Alexander Warner of Baxter Springs has been prominent ly mentioned as a possible candidate for lieptenant governor on the Repub lican ticket this fall, he is not and will not be a candidate. Captain McDowell said: "The name of Col. Warner was sprung-, I think, at the Wichita convention and by some of his friends, probably Captain John Seaton of Atchison. Then some papers in the state have industriously kept his name before the public as being a candidate and the general impression has arisen in some parts ...f the state that he is really a candidate and a leading one. The fact is. Col. Warner's name has not been mentioned for this place in our county ami there is no probability that it will lie." '"he chances for Col. Warner coming back to the house are also very slim, according to Captain McDowell. There are several names mentioned in con not tion with possible members of the lenislatuie from Cherokee county, and anion them. J. J. Lulcvr. a youns lawyer of Columbus; J. 1". Burton and A. MeCrepor. Cherokee county Republicans are al so anxious that the county should be represented in the state senate this coming- year by a Ttepubllcan. SI. A. Housf holder is the present senator, a Populist and there is already much riv alry between lr.D.V.Ktnjr of Weirdly and W. S. Norton of Columbus for the place. Dr. Kins was a candidate for nomination for lieutenant jrovernor two years a pro when Jim Troutman was chosen, and Norton was Householder's predecessor in the senate. Captain McDowell says that Gover nor Morrill has no opposition in Cher okee county and that the delegation to the state convention will be instructed for him. THREE CORNERED FIGHT. Nobody has a Cinch on the Senatorial Nomination in Jefferson County. In the state senatorial district com posed of Jefferson and Douslas coun ties, there are three candidates for the Republican, nomination. They are Matt Kdmonds, SlcLouth: Charles F. Johnson, Oskaloosa. and Dr. Frank Swallow, Valley Falls. The situation is quite complicated, each candidate having a strong follow ing and havine; made a itood canvass. Aside from this, each candidate has about the same strength and each claims to be in the lead at the present lime. All three candidates come from Jef ferson county, as by the law of alter nation, the nominee sroes to that coun ty this year. Dousias is in rather a peculiar condition, however, and there may be a. contest over its delegation. The county centra! committee of Doug las instead of calling a convention to send delegates to the senatorial con vention, named the delegates itself. and now there is talk of having a mass meeting in Lawrence to select another delegation, which will make a contest in the senatorial canvention. Of the candidates, both Edmonds and Johnson have been state senator, and in addition to being a senator. Johnson was the first bank commissioner the state had after the othce was created. Dr. Swallow is a well known lodge man and counts a good deal upon that for his success in the coming conven tion. Dr. Swallow has also been in the legislature, serving in the house about ten years ago. CONTEST CLOSE IN THE 3STE. And the "Weak Man May Win the Senatorial Nomination. Two of the seatorial candidates in the Thirty-eighth senatorial district were in the city yesterday George W. Watson of ICinsley and Bob Hopkins of Finney. I'.oth gentlemen are absolutely sure of success in the coming convention at Darned, May 27. and do not mind say ing so. Conservative politicians, how ever, who have been keeping trac k of the situation in the district, say th.ey do not see how either of these candi dates can win. There is considerable feeting between Watson and Hopkins, arid it is said neither faction will ever consent to the nomino" ion of the oth er's candidate. This heitig the case, :uil each holding about the same num l" r of tes. it might be impossible to nominate either. A third candidate in the field is J. S. Simmons of Lane county, who some people think will be the nominee in the' end. The total number id' votes in the convention wilt be 71, or to nominate. Math Candida to has about "26 vot-s on the first ballot, and tlie vote will probabiy remain this way for sometime. J. D. M'BRIEN NAKED. He "Will Endeavor to Represent the Elk-Chautauqua District in the Senate. The Republican Senatorial convention in the Kik-Chautauqua senatorial dis trict has nominated J. D. Mcl'.rien, a Sedan lawyer, for state senator. Mc l'.rien is said to be a man of great abil ity, an effective campaign speaker and a winner. It was conceded that Chautauqua should have the nomination this year according to the rule of alternation, anil Mcbrien won in the county a few weeks ago after a hard struggle with T. Fitzpatrkk. The ptvsent senator is Jason Ilel miek of Chautauoua. CAN'T STOP DAVID. Charlie Holliday Says Overmyer Will Re a Delegato to Chicago.' Police Commissioner Charles K. Hol liday is one of David Overmyer's staunch supporters and he is not in the least discouraged at the defeat at the county convention. "They cannot beat Overmyer," sail he. "There are already enough dele gates elected an.l instructed for Over myer to send him to the national con vention. He will go to the national convention as a delegate all right and nothing can stop him. "The entire Second district is for him and Osage county, Morris county and many others are for Overmyer. This same thins happened two years ago and when the delgrates went to the state convention they supported Over myer in spite of instructions. I do not pretend to say, however, that the del egates elected last Saturday will vote for Overmyer but he wil not need them'.' Phil. Campbell Will Try It. Ph.il P. Campbell of rittsburg. Craw ford county, is a candidate for the Re publican nomination for state senator in his district. J'hil Campbell is a young man, a lawyer, and one of the best campaigners in eastern Kansas. He has been journal clerk of the house several times; county attorney of Crawford county, and was a candidate for the house once or twice when the Populists swept everything before them. He wiil now try for the senate and his friends say lie is a winner. Ballinger Wants Promotion. j In the state senatorial district com- i posed of Franklin and Coffey counties, j there are two candidates announced, I one from each county. Horace J.Smilii president of the First National bank of j (Ottawa is in the field, and the other i candidate is Representative T. P. Bal- linger of Coffey. Ballinger has been in the houso two terms and now wants promotion. A .11 SK A L LUNATIC. Makes His Escape from the Asylum But is Returned. Slax Woyohe escaped from the insane asylum Saturday. Woyche is a young man of pleasing appearance or would be if lie was dressed up and had on stockings. Last evening ho was noticed iti Park dale by a young man who walked up and detained him in conversation un til he could call the patrol wagon. Sergeant Ellison and two or three offi cers went down in the wagon to get him. "I don't want to get in the wagon," he sad, "I haven't got any money." "That's all right," said the sergeant, "We've got money to burn wet dogs with. (Jet in." "Oh, if that's the case," said Woyche, "all right," and he got in. His mania seems to be of a musical turn for he had a tin horn such as are used in Atchison cm days when the joints reopen and blew it continually on the way up town in the patrol wag on. He also had a horseshoe which he held up by a string and tapped with a bit of wire. "That's my music box," he said. Woyche has been in the asylum for years. He is from Shawnee county and escaped through a back door. He is perfectly harmless and was allowed a great deal of freedom. He was returned to the asylum. Y. X. ALLEN'S SUCCESSOR. Ex-Senator Frank Lockard Appoint ed on Board of Charities. Governor Morrill has appointed ex Senator Frank SI. Loekard of Norton as member of the1 state board of chari ties to succeed Walter N. Allen, the Populist member. Mr. Loekard is one of the best known of the politicians in the northwest. He is now clerk of the court of appeals in the central division, northern depart ment. He is to assume his new duties July 1. JUDGE MORTON'S OLD BOOK. It is More Than a Century Old and is Highly Prized. Judge John T. Morton has an old book which he prizes highly.

The leaves are yellow but the printing is clear and dist met. One peculiarity of the Bible is that there is a little sermon printed just un der each verse.

Retaliates on Cigar Makers for Help ing Cubans. Tampa, Fla., Stay 19. General Wrey ler's proclamation forbidding the ex portation of tobacco from Cuba after ten days has caused great consterna tion among the large manufacturers of Tampa. Slany of them have large quantities of tobacco already pur chased in Cuba, and they fear they cannot get it out in the time prescribed. Some firms have enough of the new crop in Cuba to last a year and it is in no condition to be moved and will not be for months. A scarcity of bonded warehouse room here has caused large amounts to be stored in Havana and a fleet of schoon ers will be necessary to take it away, the regular steamers being entirely in adequate. Almost the entire Spanish population of Tampa has forwarded a vigorous protest to Sladrid against the enforcement of the proclamation. The move is regarded here as one in tended to throw the cigarmakers out of work, thereby cutting off revenue from the Cuban cause, as the cigar makers have been contributing largely to the fund.
