Poll of the Senate Leares No Doubt About It. M'KIXLEY WANTS IT Will Put the Matter Before Congress Strongly In llis Annual Message Next Month. Washington, Nov. 12. Ratification of the Hawaiian annexation treaty by the United States senate is assured. The administration has made a poll of that body and as a result President McKinley is satisfied that more than two-thirds of the senators will vote for ratification. It is said to be the purpose of Chair man Davis, at the first executive ses sion, to ask that a day be fixed for tak ing up the treaty. Ratification during the early part of the year is confine ly expected. President McKinley in his message to congress, will present as strongly as possible, the arguments for annexation. He will show that the treaty has al ready been ratified by the Hawaiian senate, and that only the action of the senate of the United States is required to add the islands to our territory. These senators, it is said, will vote for the treaty. Aldrich, Allison, Allen, Baker, Burrows, Cannon, Carter, Chand ler. Clark, Cullom. Daniel, Davis. Deboe, Klkins, Fairbanks. Foraker. Frye, Gal linger, Gear, Hale, Hanna.Hansbrough, Hawley, Heitfeld. Hoar. Jones (Nev.), Kyle, Lodge, McBride, McLaurin, Mc Millan, Mantle, Mason, Morgan.

Warren, Wellington, Wetmore, Wil son, Wolcott. Those who are still undecided are: Butler, Gorman, Kenney. Harris, Mal lory. Martin, Mitchell, Turley. Those believed to be opposed to the treaty are: Bacon, Bate, Berry, Caffery, Chilton, Clay, Cockrell, Faulkner. George, Gray, Jones (Ark Lindsay, MeEnery, Mills, Pasco, Pettigrew, Tillman, Vest, Walt hall. White. The treaty is Jn excellent shape for prompt action. It was fully considered by the senate committee on foreign re lations, reported to the senate and placed on the calendar with practical ly the unanimous indorsement of the committee. There were no votes cast against it. though Senators Turpie and Daniel refrained from voting because they had not fully made up their minds as to what position they would take in the matter. The president does not expect annex ation to result in complications with any foreign power. While satisfied that Japan will not openly interpose any objections if the senate acts promptly, administration officials think it not unlikely that she will secretly do all she can to delay, if not to defeat ratification. Any lobbying by Japan, however, will tend to exped ite rather than to delay action by the senate. The most potent opposition will come from sugar interests. Pacific coast in fluence is divided and while most of the senators from that section are in favor of the treaty, Senator White of Califor nia is expected to lead the opposition to it in the senate. BRIDEGROOM A BALL PITCHER The Young People Tried to Marry at Mt Pleasant, Iowa, Last Week. Mt. Pleasant, la.. Nov. 12. The news of the elopement of Jessie Lincoln and Warren Beckwith was no surprise to people here. A frustrated secret wed ding last week is still the topic of con versation. La.st week the clerk of the circuit court was asked to issue a marriage license and keep it secret. He reTuseil, and Mr. Lincoln was notified, and took his daughter back to Chicago. Beck with is 22 years old. His lather is a retired capitalist, former roadmaster of the C, B. Q. R. R. Young Beck with has not figured in society. He is devoted to athletics and pitched for a Texas league team last season. He is an expert at bicycle riding and foot ball and a fine boxer. He plaved half back for the Wesleyan foot ball team. STERN PARENT IS RELENTLESS Mr. Lincoln is Inexorable in the Mat ter of His Daughter's Marriaga. Chicago, Nov. 12. A reconciliation between Robert T. Lincoln and his son-in-law is apparently far off. for the girl s father will not even meet the young man, who. it was learned today, is living at a down town hotel, whiie his bride is still at home, trving to bring her parents to her wav of think ing. Mr. Lincoln is still arigrv. "Have I seen Mr. Beckwith?-' he queries in severe tones in response to a question. "Have I seen him? Well, I think not. And. furthermore. I have no desire to see that young gentleman. I shall not extend any pardon to him, according to my present ideas. I re fuse to talk further about the matter The facts of the trip to Milwaukee are quite correct, and I shall onlv devote my time to disposing of Mr. Beck with." Is Mrs. Beckwith at home?" was tentative question. Who? Mrs. Beckwith?" replied Mr. Lincoln, as if unwilling to admit that such a person existed. "Yes I sup pose she is. At least she should be there. Will the couple reside at home'" continued the president of the gas trust. "Well, my daughter will remain I think, but as to that gentleman. I have nothing at all to say," and the tone of determination left no ground for doubt. Miss Lincoln remain ed in her room and it was the head of the family who did all the talking concerning the matter. Among the close friends of Beckwith it had been known, it is asserted that the young couple were deeply in' love and were determined to overcome ali parental obstacles when the opportun ity should come, in case Mr. Lincoln re fused to give his consent to the union. The parents of the young groom were notified of their soil's predicament dur ing the morning, and it is probable that a conference between the heads of the two families will be held at no dis tant day. The relatives of Mrs. Lin coln reside in Mount Pleasant, and will probably champion the cause of Beck with and seek to bring about parental pardon for the young couple. SENATOR HARRIS PLEADS. Urges Attorney General McKenna to Protect the Government From Loss in the K. p. Sale. Washington, D. C, Nov. 12. Senator Harris of Kansas and Attorney Gen eral McKenna have had an animated conference. The burden of the con versation was the forthcoming sale of the Kansas Pacific railroad. Senator Harris urged upon the attorney general the expediency of having the govern ment qualify as a bidder at the sale. If the government would do that, he said, it would compel the Union Pacific to buy the road at a price large enough to give the government dollar for dollar on the lien. The statement that the Union Pacific reorganization company would not bid above $12,500,000, the upset price fixed by the court, was. Senator Harris urged, a bold, bad bluff. The reorgani zation committee, he said, had a big sum in junior securities it would be obliged to protect, and undoubtedly would protect, if the government, through the attorney general. stood firm and let it be understood that if the road was sold for any sum less than SlK.000.OuO it would bid it in. Senator Harris brought out the fact that the Kansas Pacific has paid right along during hard times 4 per cent on f:!0, 000.000. and was right now in excel lent condition, as a strong argument why the government should not hesi tate to qualify and to bid in the prop erty, provided the reorganization com mittee was not willing to give at least $19.0i.K"i.o0, the aggregate of the first mortgage bonds and the government liens. In the face of the strong argument presented by the senator from Kansas, Attorney General McKenna still insist ed that he was afraid the government stood to lose about $3,000,000. This rad ical change in the view of the attorney general since the sale of the Union Pa cific main line is being commented up on. Just before the sale of the main line the attorney general asserted that the government would not lose a dollar on the Kansas Pacific. CANT HOLD IT. Grocerymen Won't Hold a Food Show Until a New Audi torium in Built. The Grocers association is likely to merge into a business men's associa tion. On November 22 the local deal ers and the butchers will meet at Web er's hall to organize associations similar to the grocers. When the organiza tions are made they wiii meet and transact business separately, but they will have monthly meetings together and it may be that other lines of busi ness will be represented by associations and that the monthly meeting will soon be for business men in general. At the last meeting of the Grocers as sociation it was decided to ask the State Grocerymen's association to meet in Topeka at the same time that the Creamery association will be held. The local organizations of the state association will each send a represent ative and that means about 1.000 gro cers from ail over Kansas. The gro cers are desirous of having an annual food show in Topeka, but they have given it up as they say there is no place large enough to accommodate such a display as they wish to have. Large manufacturers from all over the United States have written asking about the food show and stating that they are anxious to assist. The food show in New York has just been held and if Topeka could accommodate the dis plays the ones that were exhibited there would be brought here. If it were possible a food show on a much larger scale than last year would be held during the time of the Creamery convention. The Topeka Grocers association in tends to join the National Grocers as sociation and if this is done they will be in touch with the large firms of the United States and a gigantic food show could be given here if accommodation could be found. This is but one of the many instances where the auditorium would bring a large gathering to Topeka. GOV. LELDY'S "SWIPE" At the Traducers of Kansas in His Thanksgiving Proclamation. Gov. Leedy today issued the follow ing Thanksgiving proclamation: "In conformity with the custom es tablished by our forefathers, following the example of the president of the United States, in accord with the prac tice of my predecessors and in grateful acknowledgement of the gracious fa vor of Divine Providence vouchsafed this commonwealth during the last 12 months. I, John W. Leedy, governor of Kansas, do hereby designate, proclaim and set apart Thursday. November 25th, l!j7, for a day of Thanksgiving in the state of Kansas. "Bountiful harvests in most sections of the state have tilled our bins and granaries. An eager demand from, for eign countries has furnished a ready market and better prices for our farm products. "After seven years of self-denial our people have so reduced their enormous indebtedness that at last their liabili ties bear a reasonable ratio to iieir resources. The attacks upon this state to which it has been so long subject, have been discontinued and the repu tation of Kansas is again as good as its character always has been. "For these blessings let us return thanks to the Great Author of the Universe who watched over and guid ed our fathers when they established upon the western prairies the founda tions of our state. In the day of our rejoicing let our people not forget the poor and needy of the great cities and of foreign countries, but send up our retition that the Giver of all good things may enable them to be as self reliant, as self-supporting and as self respecting as are the citizens of his commonwealth in Kansas. "To these ends I recommend that our people refrain from their usual avocation and on that day make fitting acknowledgement of the manifold blessings a Great Creator has bestow ed upon our beloved state." Not how cheap but how good is the way we try to do our work. Peerless Steam Laundry, 112 and 114 West 8th. UNION OFHEARTS Robert T. Lincoln's Youngest Daughter Elopes Against the Will and Desire of Her Parents. WED IN MILWAUKEE. Warren Beckwith, the Bride groom, is of Good Family, And lias Enough Money to Lire on Comfortably. BUT PAPA L. IS ANGRY Has llis Daughter Slmt Up in the House And Declares He Will Not Re ceive llis Son-in-Law. Chicago, Nov.12. "Without the knowl edge or consent of her parents, Miss Jessie Lincoln, daughter of Robert T. Lincoln, was married to Warren Beck with, a. young business man of Mount Pleasant, la., Wednesday at Milwau kee. A year ago young Beckwith and Miss Lincoln became sweethearts while the young woman was visiting at Mount Pleasant, the home of her mother. Cap tain Beckwith, father of the groom, is a warm friend of the Lincoln family, but the young man, it is said, was object ed to strongly. The affair, it was thought, was then broken up. Mrs. Beckwith returned to her home on the Lake Shore drive last night, and, upon being questioned, admitted her mar riage. Robert T. Lincoln refuses to bestow a parental blessing upon his daughter. On the contrary, he is much more ang ry over the affair today than he was last night, and not only refuses to al low the bride to leave his house, but may take steps to have the marriage set aside. Although Mr. Lincoln was deep in business today, having been chosen as chairman of the executive committee of the board of directors of the Pullman Palace Car company, and therefore vir tually president, his mind seemed to be more on his domestic affairs than on that of the great corporation. Before he went down town he sent for J. S. Runnells. counsel for the Pullman com pany, and Mr. Runnells' arrival at the Lincoln mansion on the Lake Shore drive, started the story that Mr. Lin coln would endeavor to have the mar riage annulled, although his daughter is of age, and both she and Mr. Beck with gave their proper names to the officiating clergyman at Milwaukee and swore there was no legal bar to their union. Mrs. Beckwith was in her room, and no attempt was made by Mr. Beckwith to see his wife. Mrs. Lincoln, who is an invalid, was much affected by her daughter's marriage, owing more prob ably to the tact that the ceremony was performed away from home and in op position to the wishes of her parents. Having thought over the matter dur ing the night, Air. Lincoln considered it in a more serious light than when he first heard of it, and spoke both angrily and heatedly when questioned regard ing it. He said he would have nothing whatever to do with Mr. Beckwith, would not forgive him for what he had done and would not have him in the house. "I have not seen Mr.Beekwith at all." said Mr. Lincoln, severely, "and have no desire to see him. I do not feel in a frame of mind to forgive him for what he has done and do not want him here. My slaughter, however, will remain at home." the father added, with a grim ness that foreboded possible violence to his son-in-law should he have the hard ihood and temerity to show up at the parental residence. Warren Beckwith, Mr. Lincoln's new son-in-law, is 3G years of age, worth $200, 000 in his own right and is the son of a wealthy business man at Mount Pleasant, la. His family and that of former United States Senator Harlan, the father of the mother of the bride, are very intimate, and have been for many years, so the couple have had many opportunities to become ac quainted. Rev. Dr. Orlando P. Christian, pastor of the Sherman Street Methodist Epis copal church, Milwaukee, performed the ceremony that united Miss Lincoln and Warren Beckwith in marriage in the parsonage at 58 Twelfth street. Mrs. H. J. Baumgaertner," wife of the presi dent of the Milwaukee common council, and Mrs. Christian, wife of the officiat ing clergyman, witnessed the ceremony and signed the certificate. The couple then went to the Plankington House, and after dinner returned to Chicago on an evening train. Mr. Beckwith regis tering at the Clifton House and his wife proceeding directly home. The whereabouts of Mr. Beckwith is still a matter of surmise merely. X OT ONE ESCAPED. Wedding Party of 30 Run Into by a Train. St. Petersburg, Nov. 12. A terrible accident has occurred near Bielostk, Russian Poland, resulting in the death of 30 persons. A wedding party was returning from the church to the home of- the bride. "All were in one wagon, a huge vehicle, drawn by eight horses. The road along wihch they drove crossed the railway track on the level and the driver, eith er through carelessness or ignorance of the train schedule pushed his swiftly moving horses upon the crossing just as the express was -coming up. The locomotive struck the wagon squarely, killing many members of the party outright and maiming others so that they soon expired in frightful ag ony. Not a member of the party es caped. Toronto Wants the Wheelmen. Toronto, Ont., Nov. IS. At a meeting of the executive board of the Canadian Wheelmen's association, it was decid ed to ask the co-operation of the L. A. W in securing the world's amateur meet for Canada in 1S99. The meet is to be held in Vienna in 1S9S. ONE KIND OF MEN OHIO HAS Drag Defenseless Girls From Their Beds and B;at Them. Holgate. Ohio, Nov. 12. Word has reached this city from Oakwood, Ohio, a small hamlet 25 miles south, of an outrage perpetrated by whitecaps upon two girls, Edith and May Roberts, aged 19 and IT years.Ten days ago the young ladies received a whitecap notice, warn ing them to leave the town and county, but they had paid no attention to the notice. In the night they were awakened by a band of eight or ten men entering their rooms and dragged from -their beds in their night robes to the nearby road, where they were terribly whipped by a cat-o-nine-tails, which was found in the road next morning. After beat ing the two girls, the whitecaps gave them a coat of tar and feathers and took them back to the house, where they were found unconscious by people pass ing by. May, the youngest of the two girls, is in a critical condition, her flesh being cut to the bone by the whip. A card contaiaing ten names was found tacked to the front door.but none of the names is known about the pU.ce. SLIPPERY DURRANT. The Condemned Murderer Again Es capes the Penalty of His Crime. San Francisco, Nov. 12. William Henry Theodore Durrant will not be hanged at San Quentin today after all, the supreme court of this state, having granted him another respite at the eleventh hour. Attorney Duprey applied to the state supreme court for a writ of probable cause, for the purpose of staying the proceedings against his client, upon the grounds that no official knowledge of the action of the supreme court of the United States in the matter of Dur rant's appeal from the decision of the federal court had yet been received; that the superior court had acted too hastily in sentencing Durrant to be hanged today, as the law required that he be given at least 60 days grace; and thirdly, that the pendency of an appeal in the supreme court, affecting the con demned was of itself sufficient cause for a stay of execution. The matter was partially argued in chambers and later argued before the full court and taken under advisement. Shortly aft erward the court announced its decis ion, granting the writ applied for, in which all the justices concurred. CRAMP'S KLONDIKE FLEET. Five Ocean Steamers and a Number of River Boats to Be Put in Service. New Tork. Nov.12. The State Steam ship company has been formed under the laws of New Jersey, with, a capital of $7,000,000. and with Charles H. Cramp, president of the Cramp Ship Building company, as its president. The new company has completed arrangements by which it acquires from the Interna tional Navigation company the five steamers, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and Connemaugh, and others will soon be added to the fleet. Presi dent Cramp was at the Waldorf last night and said these steamers will be sent around to the west coast as soon as possible and will ply regularly from San Francisco or Seattle to St. Mi chael. The Ohio will be the first steamer to sail and will leave early in December to be followed by the four others, all leaving by March 1. To act in conjunc tion with those steamers a fleet of light draught vessels are being built as rap idly as possible to make the service up the Yukon river. The Ohio will reach Seattle about the first of February. ENORMOUS SHORTAGE. Republican Ex-State Treasurer of Nebraska Defaults For $870,000. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 12. Otto W. Helbieg, the expert who has been en gaged for several months in examining the books and accounts of ex-State Treasurer Bartley, today submitted his report to the legislative committee, showing Bartley's shortage to be $870, 000. The amount of the defalcation has been variously estimated at from $700, 000 to a million. Bartley is now in the Douglass coun ty jail under a 20 year sentence in the penitentiary. An appeal has been taken to the supreme court and argument on motion for a new trial will soon be made. DANA'S WILL. Whole Estate Left to the Widow Property Worth Over a Million. New Tork, Nov. 12.

Greater New York lias Grown Ambitious. Wants to be a State All by Her self. WITH U. S. SENATORS. Bill to be Introduced In the Legislature For the Purpose of Securing a Legal Divorce. New York, Nov. 12. It is said one of the first bills to be introduced in the legislature will be one providing for the creation of a new state by permitting a constitutional amendment to be passed and approved by the United States government divorcing sixteen counties of the state and including them in what shall be known as the state of Manhattan. The plan proposed is for the counties of New Tork, Kings, Queens, Rich mond, Suffolk, Westchester, Orange, Putnam, Columbia, Dutchess, Ulster, Greene, Rockland, Albany, Renssaelaer and part of Schoharie to be formed in to one state with a population of 3,902. 220;as compared with 2,631,123 for the 4-4 remaining counties? This would make the new state of Manhattan the second largest state in the union in re gard to population, Pennsylvania alone exceeding it. The remaining counties left to com prise the state of New Tork would make a state the sixth largest in the union, exceeded only in population by Pennsylvania, Manhattan, Illinois, Ohio and Missouri. The new state would contain a territory in its sixteen counties of 8,960 square miles, as com pared with a territory containing forty four counties of 40,493 square miles. TO1E CONTEST BOARD. Three Members Chosen to De cide Kepley-Cook Contest. Probate Judge L. S. Dolman, Repub lican. A. W. Dana, Republican. John F. Svvitzer, Democrat. This is the board that will try the election contest case to determine whether Cook or Kepley will be sheriff. The law makes the probate judge the presiding member of the board, and says that he shall appoint two other gentlemen to sit with him. Though not compelled by the law to do so. Judge Dolman said that it would be no more than fair to have some fair -minded Democrat on the board and Mr. Switzer was therefore chosen as the third member. The board will be composed of young men. All belong to what is commonly known as "the youn crowd." Mr. Dana is the attorney of the firm of T. E. Bowman Co., and stands well in his profession. Mr. Switzer is a well known Topeka lawyer. Porter S.Cook is getting ready for the legal battle. Ferry Doran have been employed and they are at work collect ing evidence. They intend to make charges of fraud in several places. They will claim that the employes at the asylum and reform school voted illegal ly and as the votes were challenged, they may be thrown out if it is decided that they are not legal votes. It goes without saying that most of them are Kepley votes. They are also looking up evidence about the giving away of li quor by the Kepley forces on election day. It is claimed that liquor was dispensed freely at nearly all the poll ing places and it is hinted that the in vestigation may lead to some arrests for violations of the election law. The time for the hearing will not be fixed until the board has a meeting and is organized. It is probable that the case will not be heard until about December 1 to give the interested par ties time to secure evidence. FOUGHT FOR THEIR PAY. Spanish Soldiers Break Into Open Mutiny in Cuba. New Tork, Nov. 12. A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: Correspondence just received from the Herald's correspondent in Puerto Principe states that an open mutiny of Spanish soldiers occurred there recent ly.

Eddings, United States marine hospital service for special du ty at Havana, Cuba, for the purpose of making bacteriological investiga tions into the cause and nature of yel low fever. These officers have been engaged for some time in laboratory work at New Orleans, but as the yellow fever is dy ing out in the south, it is deemed best that they should keep the Investigation at a place where proper material may be obtained, and their work is to be carried on until definite conclusions are reached. LET 'EM ALONE. Only Sure Way to Avoid Mush" room Poisoning. Washington, Nov. 12. Two days ago Count Achilles de Vecchi, a distin guished Italian nobleman, secured from a farmer some mushrooms. The count has made a special study of the local fungi, and he was positive the mushrooms submitted to him were fit to eat. He prepared a breakfast, to which he invited a friend, and both ate hear tily of the mushrooms. Within two hours the count lapsed into uncon sciousness, and late last night he died with unmistakable evidences of mush room poisoning. His friend, a govern ment clerk, barely escaped death. The tragedy, coupled with the fact that Count Vecchi claimed to be an expert on mushrooms, has impelled Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture, to prepare a special bul letin on mushrooms. The experts at the department say that thedifferences between mushrooms are so often so minute that even the scientists mistake them. They believe that legislation should be enacted for bidding the sale of mushrooms entire ly, except when inspected by compe tent scientific authority. There is a record of 25 deaths in the United States in 1S93 from the very species of mushrooms which caused the death of Count Vecchi. Count de Vecchi was one of the nota bles of the capital. He was six feet four inches high and weighed over 300 poifhds. It was the pride of his life that he was the bearer of the manu script from Garibaldi to Abraham Lin coln in which the Italian liberator of fered his sympathy and services to the American emancipator. A MAN IN AGONY. Emmett Rowley Seized With a Peculiar Attack on the Street. While Emmett Rowley was eating: his lunch just before noon today in Still's restaurant, he had a peculiar attack. He left the table when he felt the sick ness coming on and left the restaurant without the people at the tables notic ing that there was anything wrong but he had not gone more than 50 feet when he began to throw his arms wildly about as if striking at something. Peo ple stopped to watch him, but no one gave him any assistance until he walk ed into Stickle's upholstering establish ment on West Fifth street. Mr. Rowley's condition became worse rapidly and he would call out prantical ly: "Oh my heart is fluttering. I am going to die. I tell you I am going to die." All the time he was walking up and down clutching at the air while the perspiration rolled down his face. It was apparent that he was in agony. He was taken into a back room and Mr. Stickle ran for a doctor while a bystander who had stopped watched the suffering man. The pain was so intense that he would stop occasional ly and cry out. He clutched at his throat and begged for a doctor occa sionally, stopping as he rushed around the room to clutch a piece of furniture. When Dr. F. H. Martin arrived he gave Mr. Rowley an injection of strychnia and in a few minutes he be gan to quiet down. He soon recovered sufficiently to be taken to his rooms on East Sixth street. Dr. Martin says that the attack was the result of acute indigestion. Gas in the stomach pressed upon the heart and retarded the work of that organ. HE GETS NO MONEY So Miss Oglesby Breaks Her En" gagement With Young Pullman. Chicago, Nov. 12. Formal announce ment is made of the breaking of the en gagement of Mr. George M. Pullman and Miss Felicite Oglesby. The news of Miss Oglesby's engagement to one of the Pullman twins came as a great surprise to the friends of the young people over two years ago and the rumors concern ing the date of the wedding have been countless since that time. When the sud den death of Mr. Pullman, sr.. startled the city a short time ago Miss Oglesby was at the home of her parents. ex-Governor and Mrs. Richard J. Oglesby. at Elkhart. 111. For the last week or two the young lady has been in Chicago, a guest of Mrs. Pullman part of the time.

South American Dreibund is Being Formed To Subjugate anl Parcel Out Bolivia. CIIILI AND FEIIU LEAD Argentina Will Re Taken in to Make it Safe. Bolivia is Excited and Full of Fight. New Tork, Nov. 12. A dispatch td the Herald from Valparaiso, Chili, says: "A plan for a dreibund of Chili, Peru and Argentina is in existence, which, if adopted by the three governments will wipe Bolivia off the South Ameri can map, Chili, Peru and Argentina di viding her territory." Startling as this statement is there are many who are inclined to give it credence. Without a doubt some in ternational step of importance is under contemplation, Chili and Peru have become entangled with Bolivia and what the result will be no one can tell. The demands of the alarmists of an, explanation from the government, it is generally believed, are justified. Ser.or Salinas. Chili's minister to Sucre, Bo livia, has gone to Santiago to confer with the government on the situation. The government flatly denies that he will not return to Sucre, though thera are grave fears that he will be mur dered if he does return, as the feeling: there against Chili is intense. In the) clubs and cafes and at social gather ings everywhere in Bolivia one hears Chili talked of as a faithless disloyal nation. Reasons for all the feeling against Chili are to be found in the rebellion of 1891, and its bearing on the Ancion treaty. The revolutionists promised to Uolivia, if she would recognize the belligerency of the rebels, that if they were victorious they would give to Bo livia two years after victory the two Peruvian provinces Tacua and Arica, held temporarily by Chili under the Ancion treaty. More than six years have elapsed since the victory of the revolutionists and Chili has not fulfilled her promise, for the reason that by doing so she would trample on the treaty. Bolivia now insists on the fulfillment of this promise which Chili holds is illegal. In the meantime Chili has recalled Senor Lira, the minister of Chili to Pe ru, who belonged to the revolutionary party and has sent Senor Vicente San ta Cruz, a Balmaeedist there with in structions to sound Peru on an alliance against Bolivia, against which govern ment I'eru has many grievances. The plan is to bring about a war with Bolivia and for Peru's assistance Chill promises to return to Peru the provinc es of Tacua and Arica without putting the question to a popular vote, or de manding of Peru the ten million soles ransom, as provided in the Ancion treaty. Chili is also prepared to furn ish Peru with ail necessary arms and munitions to carry on the war with Bolivia. In this connection the dreibund against Bolivia is being considered. Argentina, it is said, will be invited in to the alliance to give strength to the movement. The Herald says that it is reported all international affairs between Chili and Bolivia and Peru will soon be sat isfactorily settled. Chili accepting the commercial and peace treaties drawn by Bolivia anil leaving the solution o the Tacua-Arica question until next year. BOYLE COULD WIN. Newt Ury Says the Populist At torney General Could Be Elected to Congress. Newt Ury of Fort Scott, the Republi can representative from the Twentieth district, says that if Attorney General Boyle decides to run for congress from the Second district he can easily beat Funston, Cubbison, Jack Harris ami Charley Scott, the four Republicans now mentioned as candidates on the Republican ticket. Representative Ury was in Topeka today in the interest of his appointment as Indian agent at the Osage reservation. "Boyle will never be a candidate for governor," said Mr. Ury today, "but he will be a candidate for congressman from the Second district if he gets a good chance to run. Although Funston has been mentioned as probable candi date for governor on the Republican ticket, Boyle could easily beat him in the race for congress. I believe that of the four candidates mentioned on the Republican side Cubbison would give Boyle the hardest fight, but the little attorney general would undoubtedly come out ahead." W. C. T. U. NON-PARTISAN. Fails to Endorse the Prohibition Par ty for the First Time in Years. Chicago, Nov. 12. Miss Frances E. Willard in an interview today said that the national W. C. T.

The non action was a surprise to her, as she supposed as a matter of course, the conrention would pass the usual reso lution. NO ESCAPE FOR THE POLE. Sweden Will Send Out an Expedi tion Next Year.

THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS Are Being Jobbed Oat to Spec ulators He Says. Only Remedy is Municipal Own ership of Utilities. OURSELVES AS OTHERSSEE US British Colonial Secretary Jo" sepb. Chamberlain, Tells the People of Glasgow Why We Fall. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS In American Cities Are Severe ly Criticised. Warns His Hearers Against Falling to Our Level. London, Nov. 12. Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain, speaking as a guest of the Glasgow corporation, dealt at length with the recent mayoralty contest In New York. Speaking of the possibility of municipal institutions in this country deteriorating- he said: "I am sometimes inclined to put this question. When we think of the result of an election to local institutions on the other side of the water, where, in the greatest city of the United States, full of educated, cultivated, pa triotic people, we find, according to Amer ican evidence, the government of nearly 2,000.000 of people handed over for four years to an institution whose object is avowedly to get the greatest amount of spoils, is it worth inquiring whether such a possibility exists in regard to our insti tutions? What are the principles we must hold if we desire to avoid such a result? "The explanations given do not seem to me altogther satisfactory. It Is said in New York there is a mixed population, but that is not sufficient to account for the state of things we are considering. Many of these strangers to whom the Vnited States Is opening its arms with so much generosity and welcoming to the franchise, perhaps a little before they are prepared for it, are not at all likely to lend themselves to anything in the nature of corrupt administration. The Germans, especially in many of our large towns of mixed population, do not justify us in coming to the conclusion that this is the cause of the great difficulty. Politics do not enter in the usual sense Into munici pal elections in any American city. This last election was conducted by independ ent political organizations existing out cide of the regular parties in the state. "I believe the whole source of weak ness lies in the system of administration rather than anything connected with out side political considerations, and also in a public opinion which tolerates the sys tem of administration. I believe the suc cess of our system here and the failure of the American system are to be found in the different ways in which we trust officials. Now. by officials I mean every body employed by the corporation. There are. in the first place, as high officials in the great municipalities of Kngland and Scotland intrusted with the management of departments as in the control of great manufacturing concerns or complicated systems of finance. They must be men of special capacity and ability, or else there will be Inefficient administration und great waste of money. "You must have, you can afford to have the very best men in their respective ca pacities, but to have such men three things are necessary. They must be ir removable except for some gross, proved offense: they must be selected originally for their merits absolutely without re gard to their political opinions; they must be paid the market price for their serv ices. There is another danger which I think even more serious than any want of fair consideration for high officials. That is, if higher officials may occasion ally be paid less than market wages.there is a great fear lest lower officials shall be paid more than their market value. Now that is a real danger. I agree a corporation should behave as well as the most liberal private employers not one whit better because if it does behave bet ter it creates a privileged class of work men to whom the public office is itself a distinct advantage, creating temptation to which certain American municipalities have fallen a victim. "If you make these privileged posts a reward of political service the man who gets a post of this kind thinks he has done all that ought to be expected of him, and the last thing that he expects to do is to give fair value for the money he receives. There naturally arises a demand for such places, and. as the num ber of political posts will never equal the demand, the next thing is to put in two men to do the work of one. Now, if you consider for a moment the effect of this, you will find, I firmly believe, the whole secret of the failure of American local institutions. You will see that if we are ever so foolish as to abandon the busi nesslike, honorable system upon which our public work is now conducted we may fall at last as low as our cousins unfor tunately have done." These criticisms on the local concerns rf a foreign state by a cabinet minister are considered in political circles as a serious indiscretion. The speech has pro voked much comment, the general burden of which is the glorification of British municipal institutions. HARRISON AS COUNSEL. Former President in, Chicago Federal Courts Representing Royal Bak ing Powder Company. Chicago. Ncjv. 12. Ex-President Benja min Harrison appeared with Rowland Cox before the federal circuit court of appeals yesterday to defend the Royal Baking powder company in its claim to the exclusive use of the word "Royal'' as a trademark. Henry W. Blodgett, retired judge of the United States circuit court, and Frederick A. Smith and Frank A. Helmer. Chicago patent attorneys, op posed them. The case is the appeal of Geo. E. Ray mond from the decision of Judge Show alter holding the right of the Royal Bak ing powder corrpany to its name as a trademark. The appellant claims that the company has not an exclusive right to the word '-'Royal,-' that the word is a general one indicating quality and not patentable. He also claims that the word "Royal" was used by C. -A. Kins in ISiK. Before the adjournment of the court Mr. Harrison, counsel in the Indianapolis street car cases, asked the court to fix a day in the near future for hearing the issue. The court took the matter under advisement. How to Cure Bilious Colic.

Chicago, Nov. 12. Paul du Chaillu, whose adventures as an explorer have carried him from the society of gorillas and black men in the heart of Africa to the companionship of polar bears and Fin landers within the confines of the Arctic circle, is in Chicago again. His eye is bright, his step is quick and elastic, his tongue runs like an alarm clock in the middle of the night, and he has more jokes to crack than can be found in an almanac. And still, he is nearly 60 years old. M. du Chaillu came all the way from New York to attend a banquet in honor of Dr. Nansen, the Arctic explorer. For this hardy Norseman M. du Chaillu has profound admiration. He first met him in London, soon after his remarkable journey across the ice-covered wastes of Greenland, which gave him a world-wide reputation as an explorer. When Dr. Nansen arrived in New York the ac quaintance was renewed at the banquet given in his honor by the American Geo graphical society. "Dr. Nansen is a magnificent specimen of physical manhood," said M. du Chail lu with much enthusiasm. "His trip across Greenland was the greatest feat ever performed by an explorer, yet he is so modest that one would almost think he did not have a full appreciation of the difficulties which attended the journey. He makes no mention whatever in his lectures of the hardships he encountered, as many other explorers do, but tells a plain, unvarnished tale that Is intensely interesting. His modesty carries every body off with admiration." There may be another explanation for the warmth of M. du Chaillu' s admira tion for Dr. Nansen beside the natural liking one explorer has for another. He has spent so much of his time among the Scandinavians that they claim him as one of them. M. du Chaillu is writing another book of travel. It will be called "The Land of the Long Night," and will deal with his experiences in northern Europe when he pushed as far north as 71 degrees and 10 minutes. On this journey he passed through a night that was 1.S24 hours long, the equivalent in time of seventy-six days. Much of this new book will be devoted to a comparison of the country around the North cape with Alaska. M. du Chaillu also has four books ready for the press. Two of them will treat of travels in Africa, and two will tell of adventures in northern Europe. After getting thesa books out of the way he will begin the preparation of eight or ten more books of travel. This is his notion of taking a rest. Not how cheap but how good is the way we try to do our work. Peerless Steam Laundry, 112 and 114 West 8th. Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West, S. C, had a severe case of catarrh, which finally became so deep-seated that she was entirely deaf in one ear, and part of the bone in her nose sloughed off.

CUBED BY New York, Nov. 12. Gov. Hazen Pingree of Michigan delivered an ad dress last night before the Nineteenth Century club at Sherry's. There was a very large attendance at the meet ing, the Sherry ball room being filled with men and women in evening dress. President Taylor introduced the speaker of the evening at 8:30 o'clock, and Gov. Pingree at once began to de liver his address, reading from manu script. Gov. Pingree spoke of "The Results of Ten Years of Municipal Progress." The governor stated, that it was the duty of every good citizen to take an active interest in the politics of his municipality, not only to vote, but to take part actively in caucuses and pri mary elections. Then reviewing his connection with the municipal affairs of Detroit, as mayor, during the past seven years, he told how, under his ad ministration, the city had acquired its own electrical lighting plant and was now splendidly illuminated at less than half the old rate; how gas had been re duced at least one-third in price; how the toll roads had been made public thoroughfares; how the street pave ments had been -wonderfully improved; how the public s.ool facilities had bevn bettered; how the street car fa cilities had been greatly increased, and the cost of transportation lessened so fhufr new nnt trtm r-j n civ tii'trutvi I for a nuarter with transfers, and an other eight tickets with transfers; how all street car companies had been com pelled to sell workingmen's tickets at 3 cents during certain hours, and how, by the starting of an opposition com pany, telephone rates had been reduced more than 75 per cent. Continuing he said: "This period has been to me more like one of war than peace. I was se lected as a candidate by the most in fluential people. -J discovered after election that the raTlroads were pay ing less than their share of taxes. I said so, and the railroad support im mediately left me. I discovered that the gas companies were charging ex horbitant rates. I said so, and the owners of the gas stock turned their backs on me. I found the bankers speculating with city funds. I de nounced the practice, and they Re nounced me as unsafe. I attacked the turnpike roads, and their owners call ed me an anarchist. Every time I at tempted to correct an abuse, I lost a large and influential class of support ers. I was four times elected mayor, but in each campaign was made pain fully aware of the loss of old friends, although my majorities crept up from 1.500 to more than 10,000. When the influential classes turned their backs upon me, the common people always stood by me. You will not be surprised that I have come to lean upon the common people as the real foundation upon which good government must rest. "As to a remedy for these evils, my experience has brought me to the con clusion that the streets of a city belong to the people and that no mayor or common council has a right to barter them away. The remedy against many of these evils is municipal ownership and entire abolition of monopolies, or, if monopolies must exist, which depend upon public favor, their absolute con trol and dependence upon the people. This remedy will not only solve many municipal problems, but will bring other agencies of commerce under proper subjection. We are jobbing out the sovereign power of the people to speculators. My experience is that those who stand foremost in the syn agogue of a Sunday, and are engaged the rest of the week in bribing alder men or getting up stock jobbing schemes to defraud the widows and or phans are the most dangerous mem bers of society. "How long can a government last which increases constantly the burdens of the industrial classes, and gives to those who prey upon the bone ami sinew of the nation '.'Here in New York I fear that my remarks will not be well received, but I hope and believe that self government by the people and for the people has not reached that stage which all men who love liberty hope it will eventually reach. "It is the duty of the government to protect the weak against the strong, the poor against the selfishness of wealth. I say right here that until the Republican party comes out as a champion of the average man and his welfare, and unless it ceases to cater to syndicates, trusts and monopolies, it will be buried in oblivion. We must begin by advocating a municipal own ership of natural monopolies and take away from them the item of profit and relieve the wage earner to that ex tent." GAME OUT OF SEASON. Denver Hotel Company Convicted of Violations of the Law. Denver, Nov. 12. In Hunt's court yesterday the Brown Palaoe Hotel company was fined $25 and costs on four charges of violating the fish and game laws. Complaint was made by Game Warden T. S. Swan, who testified that on October 20 he ate duck at the hotel. He produced a menu of the hotel which contained a list of forbidden wild game and fish. The court held that the menu was evidence that the game and fish were served. Militia Companies Mustered Out Springfield. 111., Nov. 12.

SIXTH AND QUINCY. GOES TO THE ASYLUM. Fata of Alfred Ficklin Who Loaned Clients' Money to Himselt St. Louis, Nov. 12. A Post-Dispatch special from Charleston, 111., says: The sensational case of Attorney Alfred C. Ficklin was brought to a dramatic close this afternoon by his being sent to the insane asylum. Ficklin is the son of the late Orlando B. Ficklin, who mar ried a sister of Alfred C. Colquit, late governor of Georgia. Ficklin the elder, was well known all over the west. He was an intimate friend of both Lincoln and Douglass was in consress with them, as the Lincoln-Douglass debates will show. Among other things. Alfred acted as broker for some rich people, lending their money out and paying the inter est as it became due. After a long time it was learned, it is said by the merest accident that the notes for sev eral thousand dollars were forgeries. The grand jury found 13 indictments against Ficklin and the cases came to trial this week. The first case was proven clearly, but by a blunder of the state's attorney in copying the indict ment, in which a note was misdescrib ecl. Judge Henry Van Sellar, of Paris, ordered the jury to render a verdict of acquittal, which was done. The next case was called and while it was in progress the state's attorney made the astounding statement that he had been robbed in open court and all of the forged notes stolen. There was a dramatic scene enacted, but no one was able to find the notes, and the case on trial went the way of the first. Then with eleven indictments left, the state's attorney obtained a continuance till the January term of the circuit court in or der to try to find the notes. A. C. Ficklin was then tried for in sanity and taken to the Kankakee asy lum. TO REBUILD THE CASINO. 0K Visit of John Grenough to Colorado Springs Revives the Talk. Colorado Springs. Nov. 12. Mr. John Grenough, managing- editor of the Lon don and New York Investment compa ny, which owns Broadmoor, arrived in town today to look after the interests of his company. His arrival has restarted talk of re building the Casino, which burned down, and arrangements are likely to be made during Mr. Grenough's visit. He stated this morning that he was out to look over the situation, but gave no definite statement as to what would be done. The general opinion Is that his ef forts will mean the speedy erection of another Casino on the site of the old one. There is a Class of People Who ere injured by the use of coffee.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVEND5"G, NOVEMBER 12. 1897. KANSASJEWS. Kansas to Hare a Permanent Exhibit in Kansas City. Ererj County to Have Some Kind of a Display. TO BOOM THE STATE. Sedgwick Farmers Lose 300 Hogs by Epidemic. Fort Scott Man Buys 25 Cent Horses to Feed IIo?s. Kansas City, Nov. 12. All the pro ducts of sovereign Kansas are to be shown in a permanent exhibit to be es tablished and maintained in this city. Every county in the state is to have an exhibit and these object lessons to show "what's the matter with Kan sas" will be representative of all the great growth and growings in that state. In the Nelson building the first ex hibit will be made and a space 35 by 45 feet is now being prepared to accom modate this year's offerings from ev ery county in Kansas. "The owners of the Nelson building have very kindly given us the use of one of their large rooms free of charge for one year, and H. C. Owens of Be loit, Kan., treasurer of the association, arrived in Kansas City on the 8th day of November and has taken charge of the room. It is too late in the year to show fruits and vegetables and we will have to content ourselves this season with samples of corn, wheat, oats, kaf fir corn, hay, etc. In a very short time people who want to invest in Kansas lands will be able to tind in Kansas City a sample of everything that is grown in Kansas and all the informa tion connected with the same. They will also be put in communication with people living in the counties where they think of locating, so that they can be very well posted before going to the expense of looking at the land. "The object of the Kansas State Real Estate association is to get the best class of eastern farmers to come nest and settle in Kansas, where they c-an do better than they are now doing. AVe believe that the work we are going to do in Kansas City should be done by the state of Kansas, and our associa tion will endeavor to get the next Kansas legislature to establish an emigration bureau in connevtinn with the present agricultural department." LABORERS ARE SCAKCE Tort Soott Tribune Tells Why a Con tractor Could Not Get Help. The Port Pcott Tribune says: Fort Pcott's liberality in caring for the poor with the funds from the city treasury seems to be encouraging a class of men in their idleness. Last month the month before the election Mayor Hes sr isued poor orders to 5S families, sev eral of whom received as much as S10 from the city, and all of whom received ab-ut J:',0. A large proportion of these orders were distributed in the Third and Fifth wards. The mayor received a salary of ?tiu for attending to the poor for "A days at the rate of $3 per day. IU re is a significant sequel to the foregoing: Day before yesterday a well kiiiiwii wooil contractor of Arcadia came to Ft. fceott to get 50 men to cut w..od at $1 a cord, at Arcadia. It is said by experienced wood cutters that a man ought to cut a cord and a half a lay. The Arcadia man offered to board each man at 30 cents per day. lie ad vertised in both papers fur men and waited until last evening when he was compelled to return to his Arcadia wood pile with but eight men all he could find who wanted work. SUBSCRIBED FOR MTJNSEY. College Young Man Swindles Oyer 400 Leavenworth People. Leavenworth, Nov. 12. Desire to pur chase a standard magazine as less than the standard price has made many Leavenworth people dupes of a smooth young man named H. Bennett Wood son. His method was ingenuity itself. As certaining the names of the young la dies in advance he would politely in quire for them and introducing himself would chat affably about his prospect of going to college and when the listen er captivated by his suave and easy manner became interested he would re late a giorious chance he had had thrown in his way of getting a college education, lie has made arrangements When the yellow flag of quarantine is hoisted over a dwelling it means disease and danger. So when the yellow flag flies in the face when the cheek is sallow and the clear white of the eye is dyed saffron there is danger. It is liver trouble. The liver is one of the most im portant organs of the body. On the proper discharge of its functions depend human health and happiness. When the liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be gin to generate, and other organs of the body become involved. Never neglect the liver if you value health.

Six Fort Scott horses are said to have been slain on a ia.rm a lew miles west of this city yes terday for the purpose of feeding their carcasses to hugs. This is said to have become a regular and profitable business. The farmer is a wealthy stock feeder, and is said to have found that his hogs grow fat very quickly on horse llesh. According to the statement of Jap Ooberly.who deals in horse carcasses and hides, and who claims to have a contract with the farmer, he is paid 25 cents per head for each horse, and is permitted to reserve the hide, whiuh he sells for from $1.50 to $2. Yesterday, it seems, one of Jap's com petitors led six horses out to this farm er's sty, slaughtered and skinned them. Jap thought the animals were in too good condition fo'r usefulness in the world, and he complainenl to County Attorney Sheppard, wanting the fellow arrested under the cruelty to animal law.

Miss Kate Schrei ber, 47 years old, was taken to the city hospital today.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF. A Simple Harmless Remedy. Yet it Cures the Worst Cases of Dys pepsia and Indigsstion. Dr. Jennison, who has made a life study of stomach troubles, says: All forms of indigestion really amount to the same thing, that is, failure to com pletely digest the food eaten; no mat ter whether the trouble is acid dyspep sia or sour stomach, belching of wind, nervous Dyspepsia or loss of flesh and appetite; a person will not have any of them if the stomach can be induced by any natural, harmless way to thor oughly digest what is eaten, and this can be done by a simple remedy which I have tested in hundreds of aggrava ted cases with complete success. The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting: tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets. One or two of these tablets should be taken after meals and allowed to dissolve in the mouth and mingling with the food in the stomach digests it completely before it has time to ferment, decay and sour. On actual experiment one grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains of meat, eggs and similar wholesome foods. If is safe to say if this wholesome remedy was better known, by people generally, it would be a national bless ing, as we are a nation of dyspeptics and nine-tenths of all diseases owe their origin to imperfect digestion and nutrition. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a secret patent madicine,. but a fifty cent package will do more real good for a weak stomach then fifty dollars worth of patent medicines and a person has the satisfaction of knotting just what he is putting into his stomach, which he does not know, when widely adver tised patent medicines are used. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized packages 50 cents. A little book on cause and cure of stomach troubles, mailed free by ad dressing The StuartCo., Marshall.Micii.

Were Ordered ly the Mexican Government and Are Perfect. AKE YE11Y EXPENSIVE. One Car Contains Private Rooms for Mme. Diaz. Handsome Bathrooms and Many Other Conveniences. Two of the handsomest and most ex pensive private cars ever built passed through Topeka yesterday afternoon attached to Santa Fe California train No. 1. They were ordered by the Mex ican government for the use of Presi dent Diaz, and were built by the Pull man" company in Chicago. The cars are now on their way to the City of Mexico. The cars show the best features of construction known and in every detail are models of exquisite taste and finish. The Pullman standard wide vestibules are applied. The door handles, hand rails and the whole of the vestibule trimmnigs and ornamental metal are of highly finished red bronze. All the platform steps are furnished with ad ditional folding steps at the bottom. The two cars are equipped with the Pullman standard water pressure sys tem, whereby the water used in the lavatories, wash stands and bath room is carried underneath the cars and from there forced into and through out the cars by compressed air. A new feature is the doing away with the locker under the washstand, making it possible to have the supply and waste pipes within a smaller compass and thus somewhat increasing the size of the rooms. The cars are wired for an nunciators. When coupled together signals can be easily sent from one car to the other. In one of the cars are private apart ments intended for the use of Mme. Diaz. The wails are paneled and dec orated with marquetry and surrounded by carved scroll-work. Over the dres ser table are beveled mirrors; the table has carved angles, drawers and racks for toilet articles. There is also a handsome bathroom in these apart ments. The remainder of the car contains one full Pullman standard sleeping car section in antique oak, a baggage locker, toilet room and heater room, all finished to harmonize with the other parts of the car. All the windows throughout the cars are cur tained with neutral green silk-faced Austrian material. The recention room is upholstered in fine green frieze plush and is supplied with a large Turkish chair and sofa. There are also fes toon draperies of embroidered silk, with cords, fringe and tassels to match the upholstering. The carpet is royal Wilton with border to march. Presi dent Diaz's private room has a Turkish sofa covered with red embossed plush. Blown From Their Locomotive Cab. Chadron, Neb., Nov. 12.

In view of the movement which has lately gained considerable headway in this country, for the estab lishment of a system of postal savings banks, that portion of the report de voted to this subject is of special inter est. It shows that more than half, or 50.41 per cent, of the depositors through out the united kingdom are persons de scribing themselves as "married wo men, spinsters, widows and children;'" 18.43 per cent are mechanics; S.61 per cent are tradesmen and their employes: 3.SS per cent are classed as "commer cial;" 2.96 per cent are employes of the civil service of the government; 1.S3 per cent are farmers: 1.55 per cent are professional men, and 1.01 per cent are school teachers. The total number of depositors on the Slst of December, 1S96, was 6,S62,03G, out of a population of about 39,K0.000 souls. This is an increase of 40S.438 from the previous fiscal year and is the largest increase that has ever been known. The increase in 1S96 over 1S83 was 344.S34. The amount due depositors on the Slst of December. 1S96 was J210S.049.641. or In round numbers $540,000,000, which is equivalent to about $14 per capita of the population of the united kingdom men, women and children inclusive. The total amount due depositors on the 31st of December, 1S95, was 97.S68.975. or $4S9,000,000. which is an increase of about $31,000,000 during the year. The average per capita deposit in 1895 was $12.54. The amount of interest paid during the year was $12,300,000 in round num bers. The daily average number of depos its was 41,033, as against 37,084 in 1895, Which is more than one deposit per capi 631 Kansas Avenue. and Overcoats.

The aver age amount of each deposit was 2 17s 5d, as against 2 16s 4d in 1S95, and the average sum to the credit of each de positor at the close of the year was 15 15s Id. The average cost of each transaction was 6 pence, covering the entire ex pense of the service. In addition to the personal accounts the postoffice department is charged with the care of the funds of 29,481 "friendly" societies and other benevo lent associations, whose deposits amount to $20,000,000. The number of new accounts opened during the year by these societies was 3.32S. It is an interesting fact that the larg est number of withdrawals of money from the postal savings banks was on the day before Christmas and the larg est amount ever deposited on a single day was 303,125, on the 31st of De cember. The explanation of this is that a great many people drew upon their savings in order to purchase Christmas presents and that an even greater number who received holiday gifts in the form of money deposited it with the postmaster general. He says in his report that it is believed that 60.59 per cent of the total number of the depositors are women and children. Showings of the beneficial results flowing from the system, like the fore going are well calculated to make friends for something similar in this country. The plan gains support among all classes as it becomes more thoroughly understood. Even the bank ers, who were expected to be its op ponents, are. many of them becoming friendly to its establishment.

Kansas City Star: Of the many thousand addresses delivered In her honor throughout the world on the occa sion of her recent Jubilee, Queen Vic toria has selected six to be preserved in the Imperial institute and printed for the delectation of her subjects. One of the six is the oration of Joseph G. Wa ters of Topeka, Kan. This not only is a tribute to the genius of the eloquent and witty Kansan, but a manifestation of the good judgment of the queen. It was, indeed, a great speech, a eulogy on a good monarch, a man's tribute to a woman "who, for sixty years has been a sweetheart to the universal lover, the most Illustrious of wives, the highest exemplar of a mother, the ideal widow." But throughout it breathed the spirit of the American who, "in honor of his own land, thank God that it was not as an Eng lishman, good as he is, but as an American, better than all, that he Joined in the empire's jubilee." Mr. Waters justly may be proud of this mark of esteem from so high a source, and that pride will be shared by Kan sas men and women who, for thirty years, have been cheered and delighted in his utterances. WHY VINCENT WITHDREW. Correspondence Between the Lawyer and Luetgert Chicago, Nov. 12. At the conference held last night between Attorney Phalen and Adolph L. Luetgert, the sausage maker, gave to his attorney the original letter of withdrawal re ceived from ex-Judge Vincent and a copy of his reply to same. The letters follow: Chicago, Nov. 10. Adolph L. Luetgert: Dear Sir: Confirming our conversa tion of today, I desire to say that with out reference to any other reasons, it seems to me the radical differences of opinion between us in regard to the proper method and manner of conduct ing your second trial make it impera tive for me to withdraw from your case, and hence I express the desire to do so. The request is, of course, no surprise to you and I will be obliged to you if you will confirm in writing what you said to me about it. Yours trulv, WM. A. VINCENT. Chicago, Nov. 10, 1SJ7. Hon. Wm. A. Vincent, Chicago: Dear Sir: Your letter announcing your withdrawal from my case is at hand and in reply thereto permit me to say" that I regret very much to have you go. "With my acceptance of your determination to withdraw, I extend to you my heartfelt thanks for your val uable and faithful services rendered in my behalf during the trial just closed. Kespectfullv, ADOLPH L. LUETGERT. "It is not true that there was a dis pute between Luetgert and Judge Vin cent," said Attorney Phalen as he handed out the copies of the two let ters. "There were no hard feelings and no loud words. Of course there was always more or less disagreement as to details in the case and this latter fact, in connection with the fact that ex Judge Vincent's private business has been allowed to suffer too long, is the reason for the withdrawal." HER GUNS ON HAYTI. Germany Will Send a Warship to Collect a Claim. Berlin, Nov. 12. The German war ship Gefion is under orders to sail for Port Au Prince, Hayti, this month, in order to insist upon redress for the ar rest there of Herr Lueders, a German subject, and his unlawful imprison ment, for which Count Schwerein, the German minister at Port Au Prince, has demanded an indemnity. Lueders is now believed to be in Ger many, having been released from prison in order to avoid further com plications, the natives of Port Au Prince having threatened to mob the German legation and lynch Lueders. The German version of this affair is that Lueders was sentenced to pay a fine of $48 and to undergo a month's Imprisonment for resisting a police man, which Lueders denies. Thereup on he demanded a second trial, obtain ed it, and witnesses testified that they did not see him strike the police, but in spite of this, Lueders was re sentenced, this time to pay a fine of $500 and to undergo a year's imprison ment. The original trouble between Lue ders and the police, it is claimed in his brief, was due to the latter forcing his way to his residence, contrary to the law, in order to arrest one of his serv ants. After Lueder'a second trial, the Ger man minister took the matter in hand, and on October 17 he went to the pres ident of Hayti, Augustine Simon Sam, and demanded in the name of the German emperor that Lueders be set at liberty, and also demanded for ev ery day the latter had spent in prison, 25 days in all, an indemnity of $1,000 in gold. The minister added that for other days Lueders was kept a prisoner af ter October 17, he, the representative of Germany, would demand an indem nity of $3,000 in gold. President Sam at first refused to grant the minister's demand, and Lueders remained in prison six days longer. Thereupon the German minister notified the Haytian government that he had hauled down his flag and had sent the archives of the German legation to the legation of the United States, thus severing all diplomatic relations with the govern ment of Hayti.

If the City Can Regulate the Trice of Water, It Can llegulate the Price of Gas, Of Electric Light and Other Public Utilities That ara Essentially Monopolies, Bays Mayor Fellowa. The question of lower water rates which is r.ow before the city council has start ed the ball rolling In several directions. Mayor Fellows wants to know why. If the city council can reduce the water rates at will, something should not be done to lower the rates for gas and the other necessities furnished by corpora tions. Mayor Fellows said today. In speaking of the new water ordinance: "I have not examined the ordinance closely, but I am emphatically In favor of compelling the company to make a re duction in their rates, and want the ordi nance to make the charges so specific that there can be no trouble in every consumer figuring out just how much he ought to pay. The people of this city are pay ing an outrageous price to the water company for the water used by private individuals and the city. The city attor ney has carefully looked into the legal phase of the question and he advises us that we have the power to make a reduc tion to a reasonable basis. This we In tend to do. "I am also in favor of forcing a reduction in the price of gas and electric lighting. Consumers are paying in Topeka $1.65 per thousand feet for gas. This is entirely beyond all reason and fairness. By the use of modern appliances gas can be man ufactured and distributed in a city of this size at a large profit at tl per thousand feet. "The mayor and council do not mean to be unfair to those who have invested their money in these corporations; but they believe these companies have acted unfairly with the people, and have main tained such extortionate charges that it is necessary to exercise the power in trusted to the city to restrain them in the future. "A careful investigation has been made of the cost of construction of the plants, the cost of maintaining, extending and operating them, and the charges made in other cities of like size for similar serv ices, and they have come to the conclus ion that a radical reduction can and ought to be made in rates. "We realize that a determined opposi tion will be made by these corporations to defeat the result of our action, but we hope to have the co-operation and sup port of the people of this city in carry ing into effect the ordinances passed.ln their interest."

District Court Jury Responds to Charges of Committee of Seven teen. The jury in the district court is not in good humor because the members of the Committee of Seventeen complain ed about their verdict in the recent in junction suit to prevent the owners of buildings in which, liquor is sold from renting- their property for that purpose. Juryman Stewart has written the fol lowing letter to the Journal in reference to the matter: To the Editor of the State Journal. In an article in your paper of Wed nesday's edition, headed "Committee of Seventeen gives up, A. H. Vance says it's no use to try these cases with a jury. He is satisfied that under the same showing that was made in the Seery case the court would have granted an injunction. But the jury held that Mrs. Seery did not know what the building was being used for, and that ended it. Now Mr. Editor, I was on that jury and will say we were unanimous on the first ballot in our verdict. There was not one word of evidence produced by the Committee of Seven teen to warrant any other verdict, and I am satisfied the court will sustain the jury in its verdict. The first ques tion for the jury to answer was "Were intoxicating liquors sold there? Ans. Yes." Second question -"Did Mrs. Seery know at the time the complaint was filed that intoxicating liquors were being sold there contrary to law? Ans. No." There was not a word of evidence produced by the Committee of Seven teen to show that she had any knowl edge of it. We, as jurors, are sworn to give our verdict according' to the testi mony in the case, and the law as given by the court, which we did. I agree with Mr. Vance. I can see no reason why the case should be tried and run up a great expense to the county, unless they produce some evi dence upon which to convict. In regard to the testimony of Mr. Vance, that it was a reasonable com pensation to allow the county attorney $50 for trying the case, did not come be fore the jury for our consideration, therefore I gave him an apple for his fees. J. W. STEWART. They also secured the following state ment from Judge Hazen: In my opinion the jury properly an swered the questions in the case of State of Kansas vs. H. C. Oglesby and Mrs. Seery. There was not sufficient evidence in that case to justify the jury in finding that Mrs. Seery had knowledge, prior to the commencement of that case, that intoxicating liquors were being sold in her building in vio lation of law. If the case had been submitted to me for decision I should have decided it the same as the jury did. I feel certain that an injustice is done to the jury by the charges pre ferred against them by the representa tives of the Committee of Seventeen. Z. T. HAZEN. T0J1 ItEED COMES WEST.

Every Bill of Topeka's Great Fall Festival Will be Paid and Out of the Receipts, Too. It Cost in the Neighborhood of $15, OOO, But it Will Never Ba Said That Topeka Pall Festival Bills Go Unpaid. The Committee of Fifteen will be able to pay all bills including" the deficit in the floral fund amounting to over $1, 200. At the meeting last night President Fellows was instructed to make a for mal report on the funds available. The object is to get the money where it can be used to pay every cent that is due any one on account of the Fall Festi val. There is now $650 in the treasury. The Santa Pe committee has shown a dis position to give what is left in their fund to the floral committee which will make about $900 available and there will be enough secured from the fail grounds rent to make the fund large enough to pay all claims. The Committee of Fifteen has al ready made good a deficit of $200 for the Karnival Knights. Mrs. Sutton's bills amounting in the aggregate to $1,200 and the deficit of H. A. Uterman of the Twentieth Century Knights amounting to 464 will be paid. A. K. Wilson said last night when the question of paying the bills incurr ed by the floral committee came up:"I have secured from Mrs. Sutton, chair man of the Floral committee the bills for every separate account which will show just what-was purchased and for what it was used. There has been a great deal said about the bill for cos tumes and I want to say right here that there is not a cent in them for anything worn by the Queen of the Festival or used by her personally. She has paid every cent of those claims out of her own pocket. These claims are for the costumes worn by the gentle men of the court and the sailor cos tumes used on floral day." President Fellows said: "I do not believe that this committee can afford to have it said that any bill for any thing connected with the Fall Festival has not been paid. If we can't pay them one way we can another. I want to see every bill paid." REVOLUTION IN SIGHT. In Nicaragua Because the President Wants to Sell the Railroads and Steamboata Correspondence of the Associated Press. j Managua. Nicaragua, Oct. 30. Pres ident Zelaya, of Nicaragua, is sending a commission to the United States and to Europe who will try to sell Nicara gua's national railway and steamboats. In government circles and in the semi-official organ El Commerco, the proposition is discussed of attempting to relieve the present low condition of Nicaragua's paper money, and the fin ancial condition generally, by issuing other large sums of paper money promises to pay based on mortgages on improved real estate In Nicaragua. There are many indications that there will be another revolt soon in Nicaragua, the third in about three years. The people are restless and do not want President Zelaya to sell the national railway and steamboats, it being claimed that some r.f the most prominent Nicaraguan officials have been placing large amounts to their their credit in Europe.

The Way They Blake Coffee in Europe "Take a barrel of water and bring It to a boil, rub a chiccory berry against a. coffee berry, then convey the former into the water. Insert the remains of an old cow in a. hydraulic press and when you shall have acquired a teaspoonful of that pail blue juice which an old supersti tion regards as milk, modify the malig nity of its strength in a bucket of tepid water and ring up the breakfast. Mix the beverage in a cold cup, partake with moderation and keep a wet rag around your head to guard against over-excitement." This method of preparation and serving is a fair exam ple of the manner in which Postum Cereal Food Coffee, regular coffee, tea, and other beverages are treated in too many cases. No good can be obtained without the expenditure of some skill and time. A delicious and highly nour ishing drink can be had from Postum if boiled full 15 minutes after boiling commences. It is rich in the phos phates and gluten, and its use in place of-eoffee for 10 days will, in many cases, relieve stomach, bowel, and nervous troubles. It is worth trial by any one with any sort of functional troubles for th-e curious complex man ner in. which a. disorganized nervous system works, is liable to produce trouble in any organ of the body and a. relief from the (unsuspected) cause will produce relief in the disorder.

The resignation of Rev.Linus Blakes ley as pastor of the First Congrega tional church has been declined by the congregation and Mr. Blakesley has de cided to remain with the church that he has been pastor of for 27 years. The meeting was held last night in the parlors of the church, T. B. Mayo acted as chairman and Harold Cart lidge acted as secretary. The matter of accepting or rejecting Mr. Blakesley's resignation was dis cussed by those present. J. II. March spoke first and his re marks were for the retention of Mr. Blakesley. Mr. J. H. Foiicht followed. "I think," said Mr. Foucht, "that a change is necessary. It has been nec essary for the past nine years. 1 am in favor of accepting the resignation, as I was seven years ago, when Mr.Blakes lcy tendered his first one. Then I had the boldness to vote for that measure alone, and I will vote for it again to night. I have nothing but the most friendly feelings for Mr. Blakesley per sonally, but I think it would be better to accept his proposition, as he un doubtedly means it." H. C. Bowman said: "I think some of the members of the congregation have outlived their usefulness; not our pastor." Charles Morton, J. S. Slie, Peter Fish er, Mrs. II. P. Jacquith, George P.Bates and several others spoke in favor of the retention of Mr. Blakesley. Tiie ballots were distributed and vo ted. The result showed 29 in favor of accepting the resignation, and 142 against the acceptance. A rising vote showed the sentiment of the audience was for Mr. Blakesley to appear and receive the news of the ac tion of the meeting. A committee was appointed to wait on Mr. Blakesley at his home and to escort him to the church. Mr. Blakesley was called up on for an address. He spoke as fol lows: "I did what I thought was my duty to you and to myself." he said. "I think that I had sufficient grounds for taking the step I did. and 1 fear that your love for me has got the better of your judgment. There is nothing dear er to me than my love for the church and I feel that I ought to remain." The audience responded by singing "Blest Be the Tie that Binds."

Since the repairs have been in pro gress at the city jail women arrested by the police have been taken to the county jail for safe keeping. When the police arrested Carrie Purnell, a low colored woman of Smoky Row, who was in a beastly state of intoxication, she was taken as usual to the county jail. She had had some court experi ence and in her drunken delirium she wailed "It's a state case, It's a state case.". She imagined that she had been turned over to the county authorities for justices of the peace and deputy constables to make fees out of. In po lice court she pleaded guilty and was lined. Last night Patrolman Hendricks ar rested "Dude" Goggins. a colored char acter of Smoky Row and took him to the police station. Goggins was kept in the waiting room until the sergeant should arrive and make an order in the case. But Goggins watched his chance and escaped. He ran west on Fifth street to the alley and turned north. Patrol Driver Heartburg gave chase. He called to Goggins to halt, but the colored man only ran the faster. Heart burg drew his revolver and ran his best after the prisoner, but he tripped on a stone and fell headlong in the al ley and Goggins escaped. For the first time in a long while the police last evening arrested two low women on the charge of street walking. Time was in Topeka when the streets were infested with women of bad repu tation who solicited on the main streets. But for many months these women have been compelled to stay in their quarters more and they have been arrested at regular intervals by the po lice and fined, which action they ex pected and did not object to. It has been the practice of Chief Steele to raid the principal disorderly houses every month between the 20th and the 31st. But last evening Myrtle Bundy and Nellie Gray were out on the streets and were arrested. This morning they pleaded guilty and were fined $10 each. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Mrs. E. Richardson died yesterday of cancer at her home, 1313 Quincy street. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon. The interment will be in Topeka cemetery. The funeral of the infant daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. A. McGuire took place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence, 1008 Topeka avenue. The interment was in Topeka cemetery.

Mitchell's birthday, and his wife and daughters planned and carried out a very suc cessful surprise on him. In the even ing Dr. Sheldon asked Dr. Mitchell if he would not assist him with a serious case. Dr. Mitchell consented, and when near Dr. Mitchell's home, Dr. Sheldon, rinding that they had no stethescope, asked his companion to get his. They stopped at Dr. Mitchell's house and found it in possession of friends. The case in question was so serious that the students from the medijal college came in a body to assist. The doctor, although taken completely by surprise, recovered sufficiently to be a genial host. Dr. Sheldon, in a neat speech, introduced Mr.Shelly.who.on behalf of the students, presented Dr, Mitchell with a handsome instrument case, which was filled with candy for Mrs. Mitchell. Dr. Mitchell responded to the speech in a few well chosen words. Refreshments were served during the evening in the dining room and li brary.

Ball& Co. of Chicago. H. L. Chamberlain was arrested this morning on a warrant charging him with defrauding J. L. Ball Co., of Chicago out of $756.25. Some time ago, so the complaint states, Chamberlain ordered Ball Co. to purchase some wheat for him and he sent them a check for $200 on the Central National bank of Topeka to cover the margin. Later he placed an other order and sent another check for $200. Ball Co. purchased the wheat and held it. Wheat went down, but Ball Co. advanced er.ough money to cover the decline. Wheat continued to ero lower and they sent the two checks for $200 each to Topeka for col lection. They were returned to them with the statement from the bank that Chamberlain had no money on deposit. C. B. Knapp, traveling agent of Ball Co. swore out the complaint in Jus tice Guy's court. Chamberlain was ar rested this morning and his bond placed at $500 which he furnished. Cljamberluin was at one time propri etor of a scalper's ticket office at 525 Kansas avenue and after leaving that business he opened the Topeka Grain Stock Exchange in company with A. G. Goodwin. The firm failed and Chamberlain was arrested charged w-ith crooked transactions. The case has not been settled. The executive committee of the State Temperance Union will meet this even ing at their headquarters on Seventh and Jackson to transact business for the coming annual convention of the Union.

Yale and Harvard in Fine Con dition For Tomorrow. Reports From Lincoln Show That an Immense Crowd Will Be Out to Witness the Kansas-Nebraska Contest. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 12. In view of the coming- game with Tale, the fol lowing statement of the condition of the Harvard football team was given out today. It comes from an official source and is considered a reliable summary: The team has now reached its cul minating point, and satisfactory results have been obtained. The 'varsity team and subs will come to the game Satur day with no injuries that need cause anxiety as to their ability to last through the game. Except in one or two cases, the team has shown grad ual Improvement and should be in its best form Saturday. The ends have covered their positions in excellent form throughout the season. Their fault is that they do not hold the runners well enough on defense. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 12. The fin al practice of the Yale university foot ball team was held this afternoon and it occupied less than 45 minutes. The work was very light, but what there -was of it indicated that the good form developed in the past week has been maintained. At the close of the practice, a ques tioning of the members of the eleven elicited information which makes it possible to state that the men are in pood spirits, and that means a good deal. The Lincoln Journal says: The de sire to witness the great football game between the university of Nebraska and the university of Kansas on the campus Saturday is growing and the prospects are that the largest crowd ever seen on a. football field in Lincoln, and possibly the largest in the state, will gather on that day. The Nebraska team is getting in good condition, eve ry evening being spent in work. The men are devoting their best efforts to the practice and it will not be their fault if they are not in the best condi tion possible when they line up Satur day. Coach Itobinson is watching them closely and every move he is master of. will be drilled into them before the game. It will be the second game of the championship. It will be a battle of muscle against muscle, intelligence against intelligence, masterful line bucking, punting, end running and ehrewd fake plays matched against well timed efforts on the opposite side. Melford, the center of the Nebraska team, has not shown up for practice since the Missouri game and the boys are unable to get any trace of him. Otis Whipple tried the place last night but got his injured knee hurt again and was compelled to retire. Manager Oury took his place and it is likely that lie will till the position in the game Saturday. He has lost nothing of his former skill and his playing will add to the strength of the team rather than detract from it. so that the absence of Melford will not make any difference in the strength of the Nebraskans." Louisville Trotting Meeting. Louisville, Nov. 12. The Louisville Driving and Fair association has claimed dates for its next annual rot ting meeting and has selected from September 26 to October 2, 1898.

STILL ANOTHER FAULT Of the Metropolitan Police System It is Financially Irresponsible. While the police commissioners are looking at fancy teams with a view to purchasing one for the patrol wagon, the councilmen and city ofiicers are doing a great deal of talking. It is one of the "advantages" of the metropolitan police system that the po lice commissioners can make as many bills as they please and the council, though it sometimes makes wry faces, is compelled to pay them. Just now the city treasury is not in a condition to war rant any expenditure that can be avoid ed. Councilman Burgess stood at the corner of Fifth and Jackson streets yesterday afternoon while the police board was looking at horses. "This makes me de cidedly weary," said the colonel. "There is not a particle of sense in buying a new team now. If the present team is taken care of as it should be it would last two years yet. For the little work that there is for the patrol team there is no earthly reason why they should be discarded. The police board shows a reckless disregard of the city finances. Bill after bill is pre sented to the council and we have to al low them, but it is an outrage. They do not seem to know that there is a limit to the funds in the city treasury." Fx-Patrol Driver Bundy confirmed what Colonel Burgess said about the team. "I am satisfied." said he, "that with the right kind of care the horses would be all right for some time. I know all about them, for I drove them for two years, and if I do say it myself they were never in the shape they are in now. I turned the team over in good condition, and look at them now. It is a shame the way the horses have been used." STOLE HIS NUGGETS. Fonnder of Dawson City Loses $700 in Gold. Chicago, Nov. 12. Joseph Ladue founder of Dawson City in the Klon dike, was robbed of $700 worth, of nug gets in the depot of the Lake Shore railroad yesterday afternoon. The gold was in a bag in his overcoat pocket, and the thief managed to secure it while Ladue was walking from his train to the depot. DE 31ER0DE'S FA HE WELL. French Dancer Says She Doesn't Like the Americans. New York, Nov. 12. Mile, de Merode, the French dancer who so dismally failed to interest the theater-going public of this city, was booked to sail this morning on the outgoing North German Lloyd steam ship Trave, bound for, Bremen. Mile de Merode had little to say about her recep tion in America, but her mother, who spoke for her, said: "She does not like the country nor the people in it.

LIKE CHARLEY'S AUNT. e3Iy And Friend From India," Similar Production Quite as Full of Funny Situations. Probability of a Crowded House at the Grand on Monday Night Other Attractions at the Theaters. The doctrine of theosophy is made the foundation on which is built the clever comedy "My Friend From India," which will be seen at the Grand Opera Houe in this city next Monday night. Among the many orders of theosophy is that of the "yellow robe," which is conferred on only the most learned students of that doc trine, and out of this order Du Souchet, the author of "My Friend From India," has extracted the fun for the comedy. An ignorant barber invested against his will with the yellow robe and utilized as a social Hon by an ambitious pork packer's family forms the groundwork of no end of humorous situations, in which pretty love stories form attractive side issues. The Smyth Rice company which will present the play here includes Frederic Bond, John F. Ward, John B. Maher, Jo seph Hall, Joseph Adelman, Helen Reiner, Nita Allen, Clare Hathaway and May Yokes. Bond takes the part of the Kan sas City pork packer and Ward the part of the theosophical barber.
