ALTERNATE FOR PRECEDING PAGE THIRD EDITION". FRIDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, APREL, 22, 1S98. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. North Atlantic Squadron Un der Commander Sampson Leaves Key West at 5:45 THE FLEET GOES TO Electric Signal Lights Ship In the Early And When Daylight ships Are Like Specks on the Horizon When Next Heard From It May Be the Sound of Great Guns Booming Across the Waters. Key West, Fla., April 22. The North Atlantic squadron, except the monitors Terror and Puritan and the small cruis ers, sailed from Key West at 5:45o'clock this morning- headed for the Florida straits. The skies were growing gray with the coming dawn when the formidable fam ily of destroyers quietly and unonsten tatiously steamed away.presumably for the shores of Cuba. Besides the two monitors, the ships left behind, are the gunboat Helena, cruisers Marblehead and Detroit, dispatch boat Dolphin and the torpedo boats Cushing, Dupoftt and Porter. Throughout the long night unusual acffvity on the vessels of the fleet told weary watchers on shore that the long awaited advance on Havana was near at hand, yet there was nothing official on which to found that belief. Wash ington advices of yesterday indicated the probability of a movement during the night or today, but the naval men ashore disclaimed any knowledge of or ders. They still averred that their con dition of uncertainty was still unchang ed. Early in the evening, however, came the first realization of the fact that the tedious period of inaction was nearing its close. When signals were hoisted, recalling all the men to the ships with out delay, many interpreted this as a precautionary measure, especially In view of the fact that a number of of ficers, including several from the flag J COMMANDER SAMPSON, la charge of the North Atlantic Squadron, which sailed this morning. I A.M. BLOCKADE HAVANA. Gleam From Ship to Morning Hours Comes the Big Battle ship, remained ashore and had leave for the night. About 11 o'clock there occurred a de cided change in the situation, when a special boat hurried from the flagship with orders to all still ashore to imme diately return to the ships. Midnight found the city empty of gold braid and blue jackets with which it had grown so familiar. Save one or two recalcitrant jackies, whose convivial patriotism had run away with their sense of duty, there was not a naval man to be found in town. The theater of action transferred to the harbor, where glittering panorama was enacted until daybreak appeared slowly over the waters of the gulf. For many days past the flagship had majestically swung at anchor about seven miles out, flanked by her gor geous sisters, the Iowa and Indiana. To the eyes of Key West, the great smokestacks were barely visible, while the hulls lay like indefinable shadows in the distant waters. The inner har bor, however, offered a striking picture, crowded as it was with monitors, cruis ers, gunboats and little, but sinster, torpedo boats, flitting noiselessly in and out of the maze of greater vessels lying at anchor. When twilight fell last night this scene was unchanged. The signalling between the distant trio of ships and those closer in shore had been the cus tom ever since the assemblage of the fleet here, but last night vari-colored lights glimmered their messages across skies almost without cessation. The first stpeaks of morning light were crossing from the east and two bells had just sounded from the ships, when a tiny, and, to unfamiliar eyes, an al most imperceptible line of fire appeared r i on the sky above where lay the flag ship. A moment or two after and the sig nal staff of the Cincinnati, lying off Fort Taylor in the inner harbor, flash ed into colored light, acknowledging the call. The Puritan and Helena joined in the incandescent signals and soon the skies were kaleidoscopic as ship after ship an swered light ticked messages fraught with the gravest importance and crea tive of history. What words, of course, no one ashore knew, but the few who watched with straining eyes from sea and docks need ed no interpreter to tell that it meant hostile action. The message was not long in delivery but sunrise had fully come as the last letter flickered and went out. Then the witnesses saw that the movement had actually begun under cover of the night. The big ships could still be discerned in the distance, but the oth ers had moved toward them, the flag ship drawing- other ships of the squad ron to her. The Wilmington and the Amphitrite had slipped from their anchorage and advanced within hailing distance of the flagship. It was just 5:42 when the New York, without unnecessary dis play, moved pompously and slowly to ward the outer waters of the gulf. The red light flashed the signal to eager eyes on the following fleet and told them to get in motion at last. To those ashore, it looked as if the New York was somewhat in advance of the line, with the Iowa and Indiana fol lowing on either side but separated from her by a good stretch of water. As the line advanced toward the hori zon, the shops spread out until perhaps there was a distance of three miles be tween tips of the crescent. The ships of the inner harbor had stepped out one by one and stopped at various stations until the entire formation was ready to move. The exact order of the ships could not be ascertained from the shore. From the highest point in Key West the line was semi-circular. The ships that fol lowed the three leaders were the cruis ers Cincinnati, Detroit, Nashville, the gunboats Wilmington, Castine. Ma chias, Newport, monitors Amphitrite, the Mangrove, Mayflower and torpedo boat Foote. Why the powerful moni tors Puritan and Terror did not ac company the fleet could not officially be learned but it is said they may fol low shortly. The Marblehead is taking on water and will doubtless join the squadron in a day or two. The Ftrn went to Tampa for ammu nition for the fleet and will carry it to Havana if that is the destination. Al though it is a foregone conclusion that the fleet has moved on Cuba, it is cer tain that for the present at least it is lying well out to sea awaiting further orders. If those so far received are not final, torpedo boats held here can quickly carry such dispatches to the ships. When Key West arose it was a cry of wolf story again. Bedtime left the sit uation no different from what it has been for the past week and rumors of sailing orders have been so frequent and unfounded that it lacked credulity this morning when the town found the harbor bare of all but a few of its vis itors. The terrible tension of those waiting days are past and all ears are strained for the thunder of guns which will tell that the real and long awaited crisis is at hand at last. lOOjJOplEN. Call Signed by the President But "Will Issne Tomorrow. Washington, April 22. The volunteer army bill was signed by the presid.ent at 3:40 p. m. A call for 100,000 volunteers was sign ed at the same time, but will not issue until tomorrow. FLEET STILL THERE. Washington, April 22. Up to noon to day nothing has been received by the government indicating that the Span ish fleet had left Cape Verde Islands. The belief among high officials is that the Spaniards will hesitate before send ing the pick of their navy into Ameri can or Cuban waters. It is not expected that Capt. Samp son's fleet will have very much to do during the next few days but to prevent supplies from entering Havana. It is believed that hostilities will not be delayed longer than is necessary to get our army within supporting dis tance. When that is accomplished our navy will not delay an hour, but will immediately attack the fortifications around Havana. FOOD FREE. Havana, April 22. Delegations of Span ish merchants have visited Blanco, offer ing to furnish free provisions if necessary to the garrison and to the poor. BLAXCO DECLARES WAR. Havana, April 22. Captain General Blanco has published a decree declaring the island of Cuba in a state of war. FIRST SUN In the War is Fired by the Nashville. She Captures a Spanish Ship Loaded With Lumber. ONE SIX POUND SHOT Was All That Was Needed by the Spaniards To Cause Them to Haul Down Their Flag. A A A A A Key West, April 22. The United States cruiser Nashville has captured the Spanish ship Buena Ventura, of 1,000 tons having on board, a cargo of lumber. She was on her way from the coast of Mississippi. The cruiser fired a six-pounder and the Spaniards sur rendered. The Nashville towed her prize into this harbor at 11 o'clock this morning and put a prize crew on board. Both ships are lying well out in the stream. The news of the capture of the Span iard vessel set the people of Key West frantic with enthusiasm. All work has been" suspended and the docks are crowded with people. Galveston, April 22. The Spanish ves sel Buena Ventura, captured by the United States gunboat Nashville, is a tramp steamer hailing from Bilbao, Spain. She belonged to the Sarringa line. On March 29, she arrived at Pas cagoula, Miss., from Havana, and was on the way to Pensacola, Fla., to load for Holland, when captured. ANOTHER PRIZE COMING. Spanish. Steamer Heavily Laden En Route for" $6. van a. Las Palmas, Canary Island, April 22. The Spanish steamer Montserrat of 2.S53 tons, which sailed from Cadiz on April 10, for Havana touched here on April 13, and proceeded the same day for Cuba.- She had on board a valuable cargo and a number of troops and war material. The treops and war supplies were landed here, but the steamer pro ceeded with much cargo on board, for Havana, and should prove to be a rich prize for a United States cruiser. SIGNED BY ftVKINLEY. Proclamation Blockading Ha vana Harbor Ready to Issue. Washington, April 22. The cabinet meeting today lasted from 11:30 to 1 o'clock. The proposed proclamation to the world that this government will es tablish and effectively maintain a block ade of the port of Havana, occupied considerable time. The proclamation substantially as prepared by the attorney general was signed before the meeting adjourned, and will be promulgated, it is under stood, at once. The embargo resolu tions of congress were also discussed at length and finally approved by the president. These will be put into effect immediately. They effectually prevent the landing at any Cuban or other Spanish fort of contraband articles. Custom officers will be instructed not to grant clear ance papers to any vessels so laden, and if a false statement is made as to their destination they will not be per mitted to pass the blockade and will be subject to seizure. During the progress of the meeting. Gen. Greely, the chief signal officer of the army, was called in, as was also Mr. Marean, the local manager of the Western Union Telegraph company.but the nature of their business was not disclosed. The cabinet discussed a number of im portant matters bearing upon the sit uation, but the members were unusu ally reticent in regard to them. The president and his advisers consider the war as now being on, and no time will be lost in forcing the issue. At the con clusion of the meeting the president took a walk with Secretary Alger. No other meeting of the cabinet will be held today unless by special call of the pres ident. DAUNTLESS ARRIVES. Associated Press Dispatch. Boat Reaches Key West in Safety. Key West, April "22. The Associated Press dispatch boat Dauntless anchored in Key West harbor at midnight last night, 43 hours out from the bar at the mouth of St. Johns river. The passage was pleasant and uneventful. The out side route was taken on account of the draught of the boat. The Dauntless entered the harbor from the southward, passing through the fleet for several miles and was not hailed until the front of the city was reached. LATER The Dauntless left with Commander Sampson's squadron. A Postscript Edition. The State Journal will issue a post script edition later. TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT CLOSESJORTS.

Minister Successfully Resisted An Attempt to Arrest One of His Party. BEACHES FRENCH SOIL After an Exciting and Danger ous Experience. Hemdaye, Spanish Frontier, April 22. -r-General Stewart L. Woodford, .the United States minister to Spain, accom panied by his staff and others, reached the frontier at 8 o'clock this morning in -7 O zy a m ct safety, after some exciting experiences. The Spanish police attempted to cap ture a member of the legation, and at Valladolid the train was attacked. Mr. Moreno was the member of the United States legation singled out by the Spanish police for capture on the ground that he is a subject of Spain, but the attempt was frustrated owing to the presence of mind of the minister. At Valladolid, the United States min ister's train was attacked and stoned. Windows were- broken and the civil guards were compelled to protect his carriage with drawn swords. General Woodford, however, slept throughout the disturbance. The Moreno incident threatened to be serious. The Spanish police made a determined effort to capture Moreno, but Gen. Woodford stood in the door way of the carriage, declaring he should not be removed by force. A. detachment of police accompanied the train from Toboso to San Sebas tian, where the police officials left, on seeing that the general was determined to maintain his rights. At Segovia the students of the mili tary college gathered on the platform, cheering for Spain, and there were sev eral similar incidents at other stopping places. It was a great relief to the minister's party when the general finally reached French soil. But Gen. Woodford, per sonally, seemed unconscious of any dan ger. The general in bidding farewell to the correspondent of the Associated Press, who accompanied him to the frontier, requested the Associated Press to ex press sincere thanks toalKhe represen tatives of the press, European and American, for their uniform kindness and good faith during his stay in Spain. Bayonne, France, April 22. 1:30 P. M. The farewell of the United States minister. Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, was in keeping with the dignity dis played throughout the crisis. When ask ed if he had anything to say, h simply raised his hat and said "Good-bye." The Segovia incident was comparatively unimportant. The students of the mil itary school, in full uniform, packed the depot. They were silent until the train started, when there was enthusiastic outbursts of cheering for Siain and Cuba. The Valladolid affair, however.threat ened to be quite serious. Thousands of excited people attempted to invade the railroad station, and the 20 civil guards who accompanied the train, we.-e com pelled to form up in front of General Woodford's carriage, with drawn swords while other. civil guards, of the local force, issued from the depot, to protect the train. The guards did everything possible to keep back the mob, whose yells and shrieks resounded ,on all sides. Stones were thrown at the train and windows were broken. A newspaper man was. or-W'------- wounded in the face by broken glass; Sir Charles Hall, the recorder of the city of London, had a narrow escape from being hit by stones, and Mr. Mon tague Hughes Crackenthorpe, Q. C, had a similar experience. Gen. Woodford knew nothing of the disturbances until he reached Tobosa. There a sergeant of the civil guard, ac companied by a private, boarded the train and demanded -that Mr. Joaquin Moreno disembark from the car.James, the general's valet, thereupon awaken ed the general, who hurriedly dressed while matters were being explained to him. The general then formally pro tested, through the medium of the cor respondent of the Associated Press, against the attempted interference with his suite, declaring that Mr. Moreno was the private secretary and a British subject. The Spaniards claim ed that he was a Spanish subject, but the general refused to give him up to the police and placed himself in the doorway of the compartment, in which Mr. Moreno was traveling, declaring he would only surrender the latter if forced to do so. The minister then asked the corres pondent of the Associated Press to ex plain to the Spaniards that he placed Mr. Moreno under the protection of the British flag and that if they took him it would only by using personal vio lence to the United States minister, who proposed to protect Mr. Moreno until the frontier -was crossed. Gen. Woodfora whispered to the cor respondent of tMe Associated Press, who afterwards drew the Spaniards into a corner and explained to them the ser- ious nature of their action, pointing out that it might lead to complications with Great Britain. This argument prevailed and the troublesome visitors withdrew. When the train reached San Sebastian, Mr. Moreno and Gen. Wood ford felt considerably relieved. jly' THE CALL IS READY. Follows the Text of Lincoln's First War Proclamation. Washington, April 22. Secretary Al ger took to the .'White House today for the president's signature the proclama tion prepared at the war department for 100,000 men to sersve as volunteers for one year. In many respects the -call follows the outlines of the first made by President Lincoln of April 15. 1861, when he asked for 75,000 men. Necessarily there are a number of changes because of the dif ferent purposes for which volunteer? are asked. If the precedents are follow ed. Secretary Alger promptly upon the signing and issuance of the proclama tion, will request the executive of each of the several states to have immediate ly detached from militia the quota they have been called upon, to furniHh. The governors will communicate the time at which such militia will be ex pected at the rendezvous, where they will be met by officers f the United States to muster them isnto the ssrvice of the government. Following this the secretary of war will designate officers for the muster service, and the will retort at the places in each state where :he troops may be rendezvoused. President Lincoln's first calfywas for but 75,000, but the total number fur nished was 81,816. ALL AGREED. House Accepts Conferenco Report oa Volunteer Army Bill. Washington, April 22. The leaders were very anxious to get the bill auth orizing the president to call out the volunteers, through the house and into the hands of the president at the earli est possible moment today. In order to expedite matters therefore, the con ferees met before noon and arranged a complete agreement on the senate amendments. As soon as the journal was read, the house went through the formality of agreeing to a conference. Mr. Hull, chairman of the military affairs com mittee, then explained the imperative necessity of haste and what had been done. Without even a formal ratifica tion of the informal action of the con ferees, he thereupon presented the con ference report. The changes agreed upon were briefly explained. There was no debate although Mr. Dockery (Dem., Mo.) entered his pro test against the amendment permitting the raising of 3,000 men. from the United States at large. The report was unani mously agreed to. Wants to Be Governor Again. Ocanto. Wis., April 22.

Affairs of the Once Prosperous Ohio Colony Wound Up. Massillon, Ohio, April 22. The affairs of the Zoar society have finally been settled, and the society, which was prosperous for four score years, is now a thing of the past. The proceeds from the sale of 7,000 acres of land and other property owned by the society net each member about 12,000. Some of the members do not know the value of money, for it was never used by them. All earnings of the society went into a general fund and members in exchange of labor sim ply secured food and clothing. It was the young members who rebelled and brought about the change.

I A TRAVELING- MAN 1 Gives Some Valuable Hints Regard I ing the Care of Health While I Traveling. 1 J Mr. R. W. Wincherdon, a commercial I r traveler from Birmingham, whose busi I ness keeps him almost entirely on the 3 road, relates in the Sunday News the I dangers to health resulting from con- 1 Etant change of residence and the way a he overcame the usual injurious ef- f ecta. He says: One thing people traveling cannot very well avoid Is the constant change In water and food; the stomach never has an opportunity to become ac- customed to anything, and in a few years or much sooner the average trav eling man becomes a hopeless dyspep tic. For several years I suffered more or less from indigestion, sour stomachs, headaches, distaste for food, often no appetite, gas on the stomach and the usual unpleasant effects of Imperfect digestion. -r- Nearly every traveling man has his favorite remedy for different troubles, and I tried all of them with indifferent results. Finally on the train between Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, I overheard a conversation between two ladies, one of whom had suffered se verely from indigestion and stated she had been completely cured by a remedy which she called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; I remembered the conversation because it directly interested me; and at the next town I Inquired at the first drug store and bought a package for 60 cents, and from that day to this I have never been without them. They are pleasant tasting tablets, not a se cret patent medicine, but composed of vegetable essences, pure pepsin, fruit salts and Golden Seal; being in a tablet form they never lose their good quali ties like a liquid, medicine would, but are always fresh and ready for use. I carry a box in my pocket continual- .j ly, and whenever I see any symptoms 1 of indigestion I take one, also one after each meal, and for a year and a half I have not lost a day by reason of poor health and can eat anything and relish what I eat; my digestion is absolutely perfect as far as I can judge from my feelings, and although there may be other stomach medicines just as good as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, I do not know what they are. Certainly for peo- pie who travel they are far ahead of j any liquid medicine, as they are con- I venient,they can be carried in the pock- j et and used whenever needed. I believe they are sold by all drug- j gists at 60 cents, and believe anyone who will try them will agree with me, 4 that for indigestion and stomach trou- ble Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are un- equaled. LOSE THEIR PENSIONS, Do Veterans, When They Re-Enlist, But They Are Not Afraid. T.ima Ohio. Anril 22. Cantajn J. "R. Kirk, of this city, wrote to Pension Commissioner Evans in regard to the correctness of the report that veterans who enlisted in the army again in case of war with Spain would lose their pen sions, has received the following reply "In response to your letter you are advised that under the existing laws a soldier's pensionable status would ter minate on the date of his enlistment." The threatened loss of their pensions, however, will not deter the veterans in this city from again responding to Un cle Sam's assistance if he needs them. They do not fear but that he will see them cared for. ALUMINUM. PLANT Kept Busy on Government Orders o Torpedo Boats. New Kensington, Pa., April 22. Five hundred miles of aluminum telegraph wire is being turned out here for the United States government. It is of No. 10 gauge, and is to be used in field telegraphic operations.

The utmost secrecy was preserved about it. It is understood that the boat is one of an entirely new pattern, and alumin um for building eight of them has al ready been turned out. The govern ment also has big orders with the com pany for sheets, bars, ingots, etc., of aluminum, to be used for electrical pur poses. MASCOT OF CO. E. A Prairie Wolf Brought East Prom Montana. Chattanooga, April 22. Writing of the Twenty-fifth regulars, now in camp on Chickamauga battlefield, a reporter says: A great many officers own fine dogs, greyhounds, setters, retrievers, etc., and Company E has a real live and full grown coyote or prairie wolf, caught when young and perfectly tame. The officers of Company E state that their mascot left them at one time in Mon tana and remained away several months, but returned.

WOODFORD GOES. U. S. Minister to Spain Needed No Second Hint But Left Madrid Promptly by First Train. THE ENGLISH FLAG Now Flies Over the American Legation. Crowd Cheers For Spain When the Minister Starts. Madrid, April 22. The United States minister, Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, left Madrid yesterday afternoon. Gen. Woodford was accompanied by his acting private secretary and two servants. Gen. Woodford arrived at the station about a quarter of an hour in advance of the hour at which the train was scheduled to leave. The train started half an hour late, and during the inter val Mr. Woodford conversed with the representatives of the foreign press and a number of friends. An immense crowd gathered at the station, composed of all classes. A strong force of police and civic guards maintained order, while amid the crowd moved a large number of private de tectives. A detachment of civil guards, accom panied Gen. Woodford to the front car. The retiring minister maintained his usual coolness, but looked worn and fa tigued. When the crowd was thickest about him. Gen. Woodford forced his way through, and, approaching Col. Moret the chief of police, shook hands with him cordially.thanking him for his kind ness and zeal in guarding the United States legation and his (General Wood ford's) residence for so many montns When Gen. Woodford took his seat in the train there was a stir among the spectators and a rush toward the win dow of the carriage. The minister sat dignified. Senor Anguelo, the civil gov ernor of Madrid, his gigantic figure ris ing head and shoulders above the crowds, in a stentorian voice raised a cheer, which was thrice responded to by the crowd. "Viva Espana," resounded throughout the station until the train was tairiy outside. This was not meant as a kind ly farewell, but was an explosion of long pent up feelings. The English flag is now flying over the American legation, which is still euarded bv the police. The queen regent presided in the aft ernoon at the cabinet council. Senor Sagasta, the premier, announced the de parture of Polo y Bernaoe rrom wasn-ine-ton and that the United States min ister. Gen.

While the cab inet was in session yesterday after noon Dr. Mary Walker rushed excited ly into the White House and, passing the ushers, hurried to the office corri dor. Here she demanded to see the president, and when she found he was engaged with his cabinet.she insisted upon seeing Secretary Porter or one of his assistants. "Write your message," said the sec retary's doorkeeper. "I can't write it," said Dr. Mary. "It is too important. It means thousands of lives." She then appealed to Captain Loefler, who guards the door to the cabinet room and the president's office, but it was of no avail, she could not see the president, even though she told him that she bore a message from the Span ish minister which would prevent war. Dr. Walker was attired in a neat frock suit, and wore upon the lapel of her coat a Grand Army of the Republic badge. "I have been through one war," she said, as she pointed to the badge, "and I know what it is. I must see the president and prevent him signing the resolution. If he will only see me he won't sign. If I could only see him for a moment I can stop the war." But she didn't see the president, and she left the White House both excited and angry. Charles' Emory Smith Confirmed; Washington, April 22.

Anrll 22. Th Moa that Canadia would benefit commercially by "cl neignDors engaging in a quarrel over Cuba is pretty widespread. One or the strongest indications of the truth of this was furnished by the proceed ings ut tne Harbor board, recently. Herman D. Wolff Danish rnnmil onh. mitted a letter asking for information relative to the availability of Montreal as an ocean port for Danish shipping event oi war DreaKing out. All the Montreal transatlantic mniiiQ. nies report an increase in inquiries for iiuorraauon about the Canadian routes. George Mannah, passenger agent of the Allan line, said: "The purport of in quiries from the United States has been much larger than fnrmprlv nri it Innin as If we might do the larger portion of voi i y mjf oi passengers irom that country to Europe." The Dominion and Beaver lines gave similar reports, the latter reporting an increase in the DOOKings of American travelers, Steamship men did not rpMrd n Viirw. ade of New Tork as possible, but the extra insurance charged on freight by loute wouia give Montreal an ad vantage. This, it was said, would be more than sufficient to make it profit able to pay the extra freight on goods from New York to Montreal. The rail way companies are alive to the possi bilities of the situation.. T"h Graml Trunk and Cariadian Pacific are making enuns iu meet any increase in .trade with Chicago for export via Montreal. A Grand Trunk official said that war would divert business to the road. AMAZONS WILL FIGHT. Nebraska Women Form a Company and Intend to Lasso the Span ish Soldiers. Chadron, Neb., April 22. In event of war with bpain the same soldiers who have been preying upon the women of Cuba may be brought to face avengers of the abused sex in a company of wo men fighters which will be organized in this city this week. The company will be led by Miss Girlie Adams, a sturdy frontier woman of this city, who has spent the major portion of the last ten years in the saddle and is noted as one of the finest shots in the country. The company will be drilled nightly for the next two weeks. The broncos to be used by the company will be furn ished by the G. A. R. post here, which subscribed the necessary funds at its last meeting. The women have kept the proposed organization a secret un tl now. Mary Summers, who will be first lieu tenant, is a daughter of a veteran of the late war and is a handsome and educat ed Miss of 18. She is at present teach ing school in one of the outlying dis tricts, and when seen today said she would willingly give up her school du ties to shoulder a musket in event of war. Second Lieutenant Miss Minnie Williams, a dashing brunette 19 years old, was born on the famous Half Dia mond ranch, near this city, and has for a number of years been engaged in the cattle business, owning one of the targ ets herds in this section. She is ready to devote her entire fortune to the cause of Cuba and expects to earn pro motion on the field of battle. Every member of the company will be furnished with a lasso, and, as all are expert "ropers," they will expect to do great execution among the dons. WHERE IS THE OREGON Solicitude for the Battleship Plans for Merchantmen. Washington, April 22. Naval officers refuse most positively to say whether they intend to foirce an issue by sending supplies to the reconcentrados in Cuba on a merchant ship convoyed by a man-of-war. It is known that this plan has been under consideration but a suggestion has been made that the Spaniards might avoid the issue entirely by per mitting the merchant ship to land the stores without molestation and then right afterwards seize the stores for their own use. Particular reticence is observed re garding the movements of the battle ship Oregon and the gunboat Marietta now on their way around the Horn to join the war fleets in the Gulf of Mexi co. The Oregon sailed from Callao on April 9, since which time nothing has been heard from her. It is believed she passed Valparaiso and is now nearing the port of Montevideo, Uru guay. A formidable Spanish torpedo boat is supposed to be somewhere in that vicinity awaiting the arrival of the big battleship and some fear is ex pressed that she may creep upon her unawares and consequently consider able relief will be felt when the arrival of the Oregon at some South American port is reported. It is probable that when the Oregon reaches Rio de Janei ro or Bahia, she may be joined by the Brazilian cruiser Nictheroy, recently purchased for the United States navy and the two vessels will come to the United States together.

MILITIA MEN FREE To Enlist or Stay at Home as They Please. Cannot Be Forced to Serve Out side Their State. Washington, April 22. Three import ant measures were passed by the sen ate yesterday afternoon, all of which relate largely to the national defense. The sundry civil bill, which has been pending for two weeks and which car ries a large amount of money intended to be used in the strengthening of the country's defenses, was finally passed. The naval appropriation bill was im mediately taken up and practically completed, although pending the dis cussion of an amendment concerning the price of armor plate, the bill was displaced in order that the measure temporarily increasing the military es tablishment of the United States in time of war might be considered. After a long discussion the bill, as amended by the committee was passed. A joint resolution was adopted giv ing the president power to prevent the exportation of coal and other war ma terial. Mr. Quay (Pa.) introduced the fol lowing resolution: "That the president is hereby auth orized in his discretion and with such limitations and exceptions as shall seem to him expedient, to prohibit the export of coal or other material used in war from any seaport of the United States until otherwise ordered by con gress." When the sundry civil bill was laid before the senate its consideration be ing by agreement under the Ave min ute rule. Mr. Money (Miss.) said he had noticed in the morning papers the statement that the state department said that there would, during the ap proaching war, be no privateering by the United States and that this gov ernment would abide by the treaty of Paris, made in 1856. "I desire to inquire," said he,"wheth er any member of the foreign relations committee can inform the senate if the statement made in the newspapers is true." "I have heard nothing about the mat ter," responded Mr. Davis, chairman of the foreign relations committee, "ex cept what I have seen in the newspa pers." Mr. Money, continuing, said that he could not believe the president had ta ken such action. "But," he said, "it is well enough that the powers delegated to the president be clearly defined here and now." Mr. Hoar (Mass.) interrupted Mr. Money to note that this was an inop portune time to discuss the Question. as the senate had no knowledge that the president had exceeded his consti tutional power. v "I desired simply to call attention to the fact," continued Mr. Money, "that this proposition can not be tolerated by congress and I would suggest to sena tors in the confidence of the president that they suggest to him the situation in congress." The naval appropriation bill was laid before the senate. The bill as it passed the house carried $38,014,058. As it was reported to the senate it carried $46.- 277,558. Pending the consideration of the na val bill, Mr. Hawley (Conn.) chairman of the military affairs committee, call ed up the resolution introduced a few days ago, relating to the exportation of coal and other war materials. After so amending the resolution as to ena ble the president not only to lay, but to raise the embargo, the resolution was passed without division. The reading of the naval bill was then resumed and completed. An amendment was added by the committee providing that the secretary or the navy may establish depots for coal or other fuel for warships and apt propriating $250,000 for that purpose. As the bill was about to pass the ar mor matter was brought -upland as it was likely to lead to debate. Mr. Haw ley brought up the volunteer army bill, which was considered by unanimous consent. Mr. Bacon (Ga.) suggested that the bill be so amended as to provide that no man in the militia service should be compelled to enlist by the vote of the company which he is a member. Mr. Hawley explained that nobody could be forced to enlist as a volunteer in the service of the United States and there would be no practical difficulty in carrying into effect the provisions of the bill. He further explained that no member of a militia organization could be forced to go out of the country to perform service, unless he should vol under for such service. Mr. Pettus (Ala.) explained that the matter suggested by Mr. Bacon would be arranged by the governors of states. All of the militiamen would not, of course, volunteer for service. No indi vidual company or regiment would be compelled to enter the service, although the great body of them would doubtless volunteer for the service. Mr. Faulkner (W. Va.) said .that the militia organizations throughout the country thoroughly understood the matter as they had been in communica tion with the war department concern ing it. Every member of the National Guard understood that he could not be forced to enlist in the United States service. The bill, after an extended discussion, was passed. Charters Filed.

Items of Interest About Topeka Peo ple and Visitors in Town. sss'CT A START THE WORK. The Auditorium is Languishing and There Should Be An Awakening. The auditorium question is practically at a standstill again. Xothir.g has been done for two weeks. By an oversight the advertisement for bids on the build ing was not made at the last council meeting. Don't go to sleep. Mayor Fellows says that when he is sued the call nothing was said to him about including the advertisement for bids for the auditorium and the matter was omitted. It was therefore not considered, though City Kngineer Barnes was ready with his estimate which must be submitted before the advertisement for bids is made. One thing of vital importance has been discovered by City Engineer Barnes in making his estimate and this is that the proposed building will cost more than at first supposed. It has been supposed that the cost would" be about S-n,000 but Mr. Barnes' figures w-hich will be submitted to the council will show that the building will cost over $30. 0X and while he refuses to say what, his figures are until they have been formally presented to the coun cil it is believed that the estimate of the cost is not far from $33,000. This statement emphasizes the im portance of starting the midsummer fair agitation at cnce. It would be a serious mistake to hold the fair later than June and to do that ir will be necessary to begin the preparations at once. Tbe auditorium association should call a meeting without delay and ar range for the fair. It will be neces sary to raise J10.0C0 more to complete the auditorium and the midsummer fair is the only method by which it can be raised. It is time to do something. MORE PARDOXS. A Number of Convicts Who Will Go Free. As a result of the quarterly session of the state board of pardons another convict in the penitentiary is given his liberty and the sentences of two othprs are com muted. Governor Leedy acted on the rec ommendations of the board today. Marion Clark. a lri-year-oid boy of Craw ford county, who was sent to the peniten tiary last April for highway robbery for ten years, was granted an immediate par don. Clark's case was brought into no tree recently by one of the members of the jury that convicted him commit tine- sui cide. It was said that worry over his action in voting for the conviction of the boy caused him to end his life. Perhaps it was. most likely not. The sentences of Alike Ryan of Atchison and William Doyle of Topeka were com muted respectively to one and one-ha'.f years and three years. Rvan was sent to the penitentiary in January. 197. for live years, for breaking1 into a slaughter house and stealing $4 worth of tallow. Xoyle was convicted of stealing- a set of harness and sentenced to five years in April, 1M. TRAIN BANDITS CAUGHT. Entire Gang Who Held Up the Santa Fe Train in California in JaiL Los Angeles.

Let us hope that in this crisis which is upon us our arms may sustain their prowess and that it may be demonstrated in after years that we were right. Stern duties face the American people today and let us hope that these duties may be per formed in the same high way that our duties were performed in the preliminary stages of the trouble, and in the days to come let us prepare our selves for the proper performance on all occasions of these duties. But so far as in 113 lies let us be conservative and righteous to the end." Loud hurrahs were given for the ex president before the crowd of enthusi astic students took up their march again. Hanover, T. H-. April 22. Dartmouth students held an exciting war demon stration last night, marching thrnush the town with a banner inscribed "Wey !er sunk the Maine."

POLO IS SAFE. Under tbe "Wing of the Canadian Po lice. Niagara Falls. N. Y., April 22. Upon crossing the bridge to Niagara Falls, Ont., Senor Polo y Bernabe and his staff, accompanied by two United States secret service men and a de tective, proceeded at once to the Lafay ette hotel, where it is their intention to remain until Saturday afternoon. They will then go to Toronto. L'pon arrival in the Dominion, the minister and his party were placed under the protection of Thos. H. Young, chief of the Ontario police, and two detectives. The min ister at once sent numerous dispatches to New York. Washington. Paris and Havana, and did J300 worth of cabling to the foreign office at Madrid. He re ceived messages from Madrid, New York and Montreal. The Spanish min ister made an exception to his policy of silence when a reporter showed him a dispatch asking him to affirm or deny the report that, just before leaving Washington, he made the statement: "If Gen. Grant had been president, this war would have been impossible." "No. sir," said Senor Polo. "I did not make the statement, but those are my sentiments, nevertheless. The United States has no justification for forcing a war upon Spain. It is a shameful pro ceeeding." Further than this Minister Polo re fused to discuss the situation. TO DIE AT HOME.

III III 1 III III 1 A Pleasant Entertainment The members of the First Presbyter Ian church whose names began with J, K, L, M and Mc gave a delightful entertainment Wednesday evening at the home of Judge and Mrs. W. A. Johnston. A number of amusements had been planned so the time passed very quickly. Names cf important characters in history and fiction were written on slips of paper and pinned on the guests' backs and they guessed what character they represented by the questions asked them. Next came the hat trimming contest by the gentle men: they trimmed the hats and the young ladies wore them and it would be difficult to tell which called for the most forbearance. A delightful little programme was given. Mr. Paul Torrington sang; Miss Anna M. Parry Bundy played; Mrs. Henry recited; Mrs. L. H. Strick ler and Mrs, Eli G. Foster sang a duett and the little Connors' children pleased the guests with several songs. 1 Ices and cakes were served by Mis3 Lida Bergen, Miss Pearl McFarland, Miss Lillian McFarland, Miss Mabel Hiilis and Miss Mary Whitton.

Shelton, who used to be editor of the Illustrated Weekly in Topeka, was today fined J50 by United States District Judge Foster for using the mails to defraud railroads out of trans portation. It is claimed that Shelton defrauded nearly every western road out of trans portation. He would make application to the general offices for transporta tion on account cf some paper, often one which he was in no way connected, and when he secured the pass he would dispose of it by sale. His operations extended over several years and the railroad officers them selves do not know to what an extent Shelton imposed upon them. He was indicted on account of attempting to secure a pass from the D. R. G. rail road. Judge Foster at first said he would sentence Shelton to 60 days in jail. Shelton at once began to beg that for the sake of his wife and children that the Judge would not have him locked up. "Can you pay a fine?" inquired Judge Foster. "Yes." replied Shelton. "Then I fine you $50." Shelton paid his fine and went away satisfied. He now lives in Colorado. Mr. Sheldon Will Not Resign.

Puslness Office ..Ben "Phone 107 Reporters Room Ben f none on Fling out the Stars and Stripes every where! Uncle Sam will make Spain see stars -45 of them at least. A new crop of "war governors" is about to be garnered. All the bands should play a tune com posed of "Dixie" and "Yankee Doodle." Did Gen. Miles intend to be facetious In mobilizing the United States at Mo bile? Millions of tons of coal for our de fense, but not a hodful for our enemy's bunkers. Our standing army is tired of stand ing; It wants the order to: 'Charge, bayonets!" The president was busy holding the door open for peace, when Spain slam med it in his face. Our navy is twice as large as it was four weeks ago, and the American peo ple feel the same way. The negro soldiers should recall the fact that It was Spain who drove the black race out of her territory. Three cheers for the Red, "White and Blue, and this means little Cuba as well, whose colors are the same. John J. Ingalls can report the fight with Spain with a facility equal to his report of the Fitzsimmons-Corbett com bat. War may be a dreadful thing, but there are millions of Americans anxious to enlist who don't, seem to mind it much. There are half a hundred, newly in vented explosives superior to powder, but it still takes just plain coal to fun el cruiser. Those people who are always rejoic ing when there is prospect of a Euro pean war, now have a chance to know how it feels. The Spaniards are a great success at midnight murder, like the destruction of the Maine, but they are puerile in an open fight. The government could raise $5,000,000 enough to build a new Maine by sell ing metal souvenirs composed of mater ial from the wreck. The flying squadron should meet the Spanish flotilla in mid-ocean, where Gen. "Weyler and his submarine mines will have no chance. The severest epithet the Spanish have for Americans is "pig." That is not the severest Americans have for Spaniards, but we don't print it. Any attempt of Europe to "intervene" to our disadvantage will be met by the Instantaneous rush to arms of the en tire American male population. "Go ring the bells and fire the guns, And fling the starry banner out. Shout 'Freedom!' till the lisping ones Give back the cradle shout." Spain is the only country in ancient or modern times who threw the man who had added millions of square miles of territory to her dominions, into chains Christopher Columbus. Some have looked upon the United States regular soldiers as merely "hired men," but the past few days has proven that the true -American spirit is as strong in them as in the millions who volunteer. War must come at times to prove to struggling humanity that life is not meant to be a bed of roses. It was In galls who said: "We are not created for a liW of pleasure, but to struggle and to overcome." The most satanic race on earth, the Spaniards, are about to meet the most cultured and high minded In mortal combat. It is the old fight between the hosts of Lucifer and the Almighty and Lucifer will get another fall. Gen. Weyler, a Spanish paper says, is looked up to by the entire Spanish army. If toe is caught and proven guil- 'ty of the Maine's destruction, the en tire Spanish navy will have a chance to "look up" to him at the end of a yard arm. A fact not generally known is that the late James Payn was for some time literary adviser in England to Baron Tauchnitz of Leipzig, a position which gave him great influence over the con tinental fortunes of his fellow authors, though it need perhaps hardly be said that Mr. Payn's selection of new nov els for inclusion among the Tauchnitz edition of British, authors invariably Showed good judgment and fairness. REPUBLICAN PARTY TALKS Cy Iceland Interviewed at Wichita by a Reporter. The Wichita Eagle' prints an inter view with Cyrus Leland, which may be of interest. The Eagle'says: Cy Leland has a vote in the G. A. R. encampment now in session here, and he is on hand to cast it. That, he says, is all he is here for. And if that isn't all he is here for, nobody but Cy Le land knows it, so the statement is good for its face, and a United Sta.tes treas ury note is no better. When asked yesterday if he would make a statement of the gubernatorial situation, toe said: "No." It is said, by competent newspaper men who speak from experience that out of thirty words, the usual length of the average interview with Leland, nineteen consist of the word "no," and the balance of the conversation, "I don't know." This is undoubtedly true, or an inter view which purposes to find out what Leland's political plans are when he must choose between friends. But when Leland is opposed to a man he never keeps him in doubt. Asked yesterday if, in his opinion, the contest for governor had changed In the last two weeks, he said: "I don't see that it has." "Who is in the field?" "I don't know." "Stanley?" "I think the chances are about equal between Stanley. Seaton and Hood. I might add that Funston has lately de veloped great strength. There is no body else in the race. There is abso lutely no show for Hessin, nor for Co burn. A man can't back into a nomi nation. Jim Blaine tried that in 1888 for president. Sam Peters tried it for governor. Ed Hoch tried and a num ber of others. They all failed. Co burn is trying it, but the result will be the same. "It is hardly time yet to figure out anything definite in regard to the candi dates for governor. Not more than half the delegates to the state convention have been elected." "Are you for Seaton?" "I'm not taking any part in the con test now. I have a vote in the encamp ment and came down merely for that. I have paid very little attention to the matter. "It will be an easy matter to elect the Republican nominee, I think.. Now that war is coming on people can see that it is very well we didn't adopt the 16 to 1 policy." Do you think there will be some ac tive fighting?" "Yes. Within a week. The adminis tration has been getting ready for war as fast as possible. GUARD FOR M'KINLEY. Precautionary Measures For the Protection of the President. Washington, April 22. The Post says: A military guard will be placed at the White House in a few days. This has been definitely settled but none of the details of the arrangements are known. Col. Bingham, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, will have charge of the guard and such others as may be placed at the public buildings. A con ference was held between Major Moore, superintendent of police and Chief Wil- kie of the United States secret service, in regard to a civil guard at the White House. The force around the grounds will be largely increased and many detectives in citizen's clothes will be placed on duty. Every precaution will be taken to protect the president from any possible danger. Torpedoes and mines are being plant ed in the Potomac river below Wash ington. They are being put there as a safe guard in case of emergency, and the exact locations of the mines are being kept secret. The majority of work is being done by night, and is being pushed forward with an eye to the possible contingency of a hostile fleet attempting to shell the capital. WAS WITH Mrs. Hodge, "Who Has Been in Mrs. O. S. Hodge, who was Lieutenant Peary's private stenographer, is visiting in Topeka at 228 East Fifth street. Mrs. Hodge has been the farthest north of any woman except Mrs. Peary, they both having been to Holsteinberg, in side the Arctic circle. "We were in the north during the summer and I found it no colder there at that time than I would during the winter In the United States." said Mrs. Hodge. "We were all under contract with Lieut. Peary not to take any pho tographs of the trip and not to lecture after we returned to the states, for that reason I have no pictures of the frozen zone. I brought many skins home with me but the Greenlanders have a pecul iar way of tanning them and after they are brought to a warm climate the odor becomes so strong that it is quite un pleasant. The natives of the country are uneducated and have no religion. There is no money of any .kind and all TORE DOWN THE EAGLE Governor of Madrid Tramples the American Emblem in the Dust. Madrid, April 22. Enthusiastic proces sions moved through the principal streets last night. The mob gathered in front of the building of the Equitable Life In surance company and insisted upon the removal of the American eagle, which was thrown down and smashed to bits. The fragments were then carried into the streets by a cheering, yelling mob to the Military club, where the members appear ed upon the balcony and enthusiastically cheered the demonstratora.shouting "Viva Espana" and "Down with the Yankees." The police mixed with the crowd and allowed the demonstrations to go on with out restraint. The civil governor of Madrid, instead of prohibiting disorder, allowed complete lib erty of action, mingling among the dem onstrators. He was loudly cheered, es pecially when the American escutcheon was thrown from the balcony of the equitable building and fell at his very feet. Aguilera, as he tramped upon the es cutcheon, addressed the people amid en thusiastic applause. He said: The Spanish lion is roused from his slumber. He will shake his mane and dis perse the rest of the brute creation." The demonstration then continued, a part of the mob proposing to demonstrate in front of the American legation, which is now under the British flag. La Correspondencia Espana suggests the expulsion of all foreigners, especially the newspaper correspondents, "whose pres ence is dangerous." It says the censor ship is inadequate, as the correspondents have "other means of keeping up their calumnies against Spain, especially the American correspondents." The paper demands that a date shall be fixed for their expulsion, giving them time only to reach the frontier. "Let them fol low their profession elsewhere," it says, "and we are confident that no Spaniard worthy the name will act as a substitute for Yankee press correspondents." TO WAIT FOR. MILITIA. Regulars May Be Held at Cbicka mauga Some Days. Chattanooga, April 22. Five and per haps more of the infantry regiments now en route to the encampment at New Orleans, Mobile and Tampa will pitch their tents on the Chickamauga battlefield. Acting on orders received from Washington, Major General Brooke, has telegraphed to the com manding officers of all the regiments which have not already gone by Chat tanooga, ordering them to proceed here at once. Arrangements were also en tered into with the different railroads centering at this point for the prompt moving to Chattanooga of the infant ry men who arrive at junction points. The Twelfth infantry, from Fort Nio brara, Neb., on its way to New Orleans, was diverted at Nashville and will be the first white infantry regiment to be encamped on the Chickamauga battle field. The Second Infantry, from Forts Keogh, Harrison and Yates, Mont., which passed through St. Paul yester day on the way to Mobile, will be di verted at Nashville and come through to Chickamauga without stopping, probably reaching here Sunday morn ing. The Nineteenth infantry, from Forts Brady and Wayne, the Twentieth, from Fort Leavenworth, Kans., and the Twenty-second from Fort Crook, all bound for Mobile, Ala., were also com municated with and by Saturday a good sized army will have gone Into camp at Chickamauga. Last night nearly 1,500 of the 5,000 cavalry and artillery men who have been ordered to Chickamauga were en camped on the battlefield. Late in the evening the number already camped there was swelled by the arrival of de tachments of the Second artillery and the first cavalry. By tonight It is expected that a large portion of the troops now on their way to Chickamauga will have arrived. It is apparently the general opinion that no forward movement of the Chickamauga troops will be given for some time, as the gathering and equip ping of the large force of militia, neces sary for the contemplated Cuban inva sion will necessarily consume several days.

UNDER THE DOME News of the Kansas State De partments. Maj. J. K. Hudson Applies Er a Commission TO LEAD A REGIMENT Of Kansas Troops in the Span ish War. A Test Case in the Insurance Department. Major J. K. Hudson, who since the blowing up of the Maine has been one of the most pronounced "jingoes" in this city, has applied to Governor Leedy for a commission as recruiting officer to raise a regiment of infantry. His letter to Governor Leedy, asking for this commission. Is as follows: Hon. John W. Leedy, Governor of Kan sas. My Dear Sir: In view of the present complications between the United States and Spain, it seems to be gen erally conceded that war will be de clared within a few days. 1 hereby make application to you for a recruiting commission, with the rank of colonel, empowering me to raise a regiment of infantry for the first call for volunteers that may be made by the national, government. I would esteem this appointment an honor at your hands and endeavor in every way possible to be worthy of th,e trust and responsibility which this po sition would impose upon me. Yours very truly, J. K. HUDSON. Major Hudson yesterday received the following reply from Governor Leedy: Hon. J. K. Hudson, Topeka, Kansas. My Dear Major: I have delayed an swering these letters with regard to the Cuban war, thinking perhaps some thing would occur that would enable me to speak definitely. However, I can only say this, that in the event of war, Kansas will do her duty and I will do mine.. Her citizens will all receive due consideration and your name is placed on file for future reference. I have the honor to remain, very truly yours, J. W. LEEDY. WANTS TO MAKE A TEST. Pacific Mutual of San Francisco Sends a Representative. Dr. George A. Moore of San Fran cisco, president of the Pacific Mutual Insurance company, is in the city for the purpose of arranging with Com missioner McNall for a test being made of the right of the state to collect sepa rate license and agents' fees for acci dent business done in connection with life insurance business. The Pacific Mutual is one of the three companies that has been doing both life and acci dent business in Kansas under one set of licenses, and Commissioner McNall holds that the company owes the state something over $400. Dr. Moore wants the question settled, and the case will be submitted to the court on an agreed statement of facts. He says the company will gladly pay the account if the court holds it is lia ble. Dr. Moore is a former Kansan, hav ing lived in Leavenworth for a number of years. ABOLISH BOARD OF PARDONS. Giving Its Time to a Case That Ought Not to Be Considered. The case of George W. Rogers, who was sent to. the penitentiary for burn ing the records of Harvey county shortly after giving up the office of county clerk, is to be given further con sideration by the state board of par dons as a result of the efforts of Mrs. Rogers. The board passed adversely on the application for pardon a year ago because of a protest signed by 200 citizens of Harvey county, but Mrs. Rogers says that 100 of the signers of the protest are now willing to with draw their names. If Rogers, however, is not to be se verely punished, what is to hinder the next man who -wants to burn down a court house or destroy the records of 20 years. If such crimes are only to receive two or three years' punishment every criminal in Kansas will reckon on an easy escape when he plans a crime. Abolish the board of pardons. Sons of Veterans Volunteer. Late yesterday afternoon Governor Leedy received a telegram from the state encampment of the Kansas Sons of Veterans, now in session at Wichita, tendering the services of all members of that order in the state to Governor Leedy in case the president calls for volunteers. The Sons of Veterans say in the telegram that they would like to form the first Kansas regiment. How M Can We THE NEW ARMY LAW. Provisions of the Measure J ust Pass ed by Congress.

KANSAS' QUOTA Tinder a Call for 100,000 Men is 2, 230. Washington, April 22. Arrangements have been completed under Secretary Alger's direction for calling out 100,000 of the militia of the country to aid the regular army in the operations to com pel the Spanish evacuation of Cuba. The officials are awaiting the passage of the volunteer army bill by congress in order that there may be explicit au thority for asking for the volunteers. The number of men required from each state, it is said, will be in the proportion that its population bears to that of the whole country. According to this ratio the several western states would be called upon to furnish men as follows: California, 2,590; Colorado, 1.059; Ida ho, 186; Kansas, 2,230: Missouri, 4,329; Montana, 419; Nebraska. 1,927; Nevada, 110; Oregon, 663; Texas, '3,383; Utah, 340; Washington, 942; Wyoming, 18d; Arizona, 145; New Mexico, 272; Oklaho ma, 114. Secretary Alger has heretofore stated that on the first call for troops the na tional organized guards of the states will be accepted. The figures in pos session of the war department show that in some of the states there is no such organization and in others it falls below the quota which such states will be asked to furnish. If the policy of asking each state to furnish its propor tionate quota is finally adopted, then under a call for 100,000 men, many of the national guardsmen would be un able to go.

AN ARMY OP 80,000. Will be Ready tb Go to Cuba Within Ten Days. Washington, April 22. With the act ual beginning of war, military and nav al preparation have been vastly stim ulated. The navy has bought a ship and a number of yachts. It has secur ed some more material and renewed or ders for haste in the construction of guns. Orders were sent to the squad ron to guard their movements and pre liminaries of a blockade were execu ted. In the war department all arrange ments have been made for a call for 100,000 volunteers to be chosen from the national guard. The strategy board of the department has looked over and perfected the plans and efforts have been begun to provide for a sub-system of coast patrol by the state authorities. Movements of troops, began a day or two ago, have been changed by direc tion of the department in some re spects to meet the condition of the moment at southern posts, but in gen eral there are indications that the de partment is acting with the purpose of concentrating no less than 80,000 men at the gulf ports within the next ten days, ready for embarkation to Cuba. TAX ON CHEWING GUM May Be Substituted for the Proposed Tax on Coffee Washington, April 22. Although no decision was reached at the session of the ways and means committee yester day afternoon, it appeared probable after the Republican conference broke up that sufficient revenue can be raised without resorting to a tax on tea, cof fett, petroleum or a stamp tax on rail road tickets. It is likely that a tax will be placed upon mineral waters, ginger ale, etc., and upon various other ar ticles, like chewing gum. PACIFIC COAST IS SAFE. Admiral Kirkland Says He Can Hand le Any Force Spain Will Send. Mare Island Navy Tard, Cal., April 22. "We are prepared today to capture or de stroy any force that Spain could possibly send against the Pacific coast," said Rear Admiral Kirkland. "In the first place, the Spanish government has no vessels In the Pacific waters nearer than the Philip pines. We have a greater force there than Spain, and can easily take care of the opposing fleet. "The next possibility lies in sending a fleet through the Straits of Magellan. Even if Spain had the ships, they would be practically useless after they got into the Pacific through the lack of coal. "We have two monitors, the Monadnock and Monterey, that are more than a match for any vesel in the Spanish navy. "Besides these two, we have the Ben nington and Mohican, which are now en route from the Hawaiian islands. The Charleston will be in commission by May 1. and if it were necessary we could have the Georgetown and Philadelphia in fight ing trim by the first of June. "What I rely upon largely to complete our coast defenses are the ten vessels re cently acquired. Anot: er valuable ad junct to our Pacific coast defenses is the three torpedo boats now nearing comple tion in the sound. This number can be increased materially if the necessity pre sents, since each only requires sixty days for building." MULES FOR CUBA Hundreds of Them Are Being Trained at Jefferson Barracks. St. Louis. April 22. Mules for use In Cuba for packing army supplies and mu nitions are being broken in at Jefferson barracks, the army post near this city, where the government is having forward ed all arrivals bought in the southwest.

It is expected that 1.000 mules will be ready for use in Uncle Sam's service by next Wednesday for packing alone and 1,850 for hauling baggage wagons, forage and am munition wagons, etc. BLANCO'S CALL TO ARMS. Governor General of Cuba Issues a Proclamation. Havana, April 22. The Official Gazette publishes an extra containing the follow ing manifesto: "The general government of the island of Cuba to the inhabitants of Cuba: "Without any reason or legality, with out the least offense on our part, and at a time when they have received from us only proofs of friendship, the United States are forcing us into a war just at the moment when quietude began to set tle over the country, when production was flourishing, commerce taking courage and peace approaching, with co-operation of all classes and all parties under the new Institutions granted by the mother coun try. "Such a proceeding Is withput precedent in history. It evidently manifests the bo gus politics of the republic, demonstrating the tricky plans and purposes that have always been nourished against Spain s sovereignty in Cuba, which the enemy has been conspiring for nearly a century to destroy.- Our foes now carry their hy pocrisy and falsehood to the extent of de manding immediate peace in a war pro voked and sustained by themselves. Her prudence and moderation have ben of no avail to Spain, though she has carried her concessions to the extreme limit of tolera tion in order to avoid a rupture. She deplores this state of affairs, but she ac cepts it with all the energy inspired by a glorious national history and the pride of her people, a pride which will never yield to the strangers haughty, nor consent to see Spain's right and reason trampled up on by a nation of nobodies. "If the United States wants the island of Cuba, let them come and take it. Per haps the hour is not far distant in which these Carthagenlans of America will find their Zaraa in this island of Cuba, which Spain discovered, peopled and civilized, and which will never be anything but Spanish. "It is our turn to have the honor of defending her, and we will know how to do it with decision, and an effort many a time put forth. I count upon you for this with absolute certainty. I believe there is no sacrifice you are not prepared to make in defense of the national territory, whose integrity is sacred to all Spaniards of whatever origin. I am sure that every one in whose veins runs Spanish blood will respond readily to the call, which, in these solemn moments, I address to all. and that all will group themselves around me to contribute as much as they can to repel a foreign invasion, without allow ing dangers, sufferings or privations to weaken the part of courage. "To arms, then, fellow countrymen! To arms! There will be a place for all In the fight. Let all co-operate and contrib ute with the same firmness and enthusi asm to fight the eternal enemy of the Spanish name, emulating the exploits of our ancestors, who always exalted high their country's fame and honor. To arms! Cry a thousand .times 'Viva Espana,' Viva El Rey Alfonso XIII..' 'Viva La Re gent." 'Viva Cuba, always Spanish.' "(Signed) Your governor general, "RAMON BLANCO. "Havana, April 21. 1898."

Morrow's Kidneoids Restore the Kid ney's to Their Naturally Sound Con dition, Giving Renewed Life and Vigor to the Nerves and Muscles. Neuralgia is a nervous affection; rheumatism a disease of muscles and joints. Both result from unnatural de posits In the blood. Primarily there is great resemblance between the two, but in their present application they are distinct. Many reasons are advanced for the causes of neuralgia and rheumatism but It is conceded that they are induced by a complication of causes, superin duced by some prominent first cause. The majority of those who make a specialty of these afflictions are plain in asserting that Inadequate kidney func tions are indirectly, if not directly, the cause of at least four-fifths of all neu ralgic and rheumatic afflictions. John Morrow, the great American chemist, was among the first to realize that diseased kidneys are the primal cause of neuralgia and rheuamatism. As a result of his investigation he evolved the formula for his great and oniy kidney cure Morrow's Kidneoids the yellow tablets. Morrow's Kidneoids are one of the greatest discoveries of modern times, appreciated by all classes and condi tions of people and recognized every where as a standard preparation for all complications, resulting from broken down and functionless kidneys. Physi cians were loth at first to ascribe such a prominent place to Morrow's Kid neoids, but, when the proof of remark able cures were forthcoming on every side, no thoughtful person could re strain their admiration for a remedy so helpful in cases that had long baffled medical skill. The fame of Morrow's Kidneoids has created a demand for them everywhere and they are now sold by all dealers at 50 cents a box, six boxes being sold for $2.50. If for any reason the dealer can not supply you, they will be sent post paid on receipt of the price by tha Herb Medicine Co., Springfield, Ohio.

Eastman Chosen as De partment Commander. Topeka Given Fall Reunion on First Ballot. Wichita, April 22. Topeka was select ed on the first ballot here yesterday a3 the place for holding the fall reunion. The next encampment will be held at Hutchinson, the only town that wanted it. The contest for department comman der was spirited, and up to noon it was generally conceded that either A. W. Smith of McPherson or Rev. W. R Blair of Dun lap would be elected. At the noon recess, however, Cy Leland, Maj. Hood and a number of others from northeast. Kansas took a hand, and D. W. Eastman of Emporia was elected on the third ballot by a vote of 2S0 to 16S over Smith, the only candidate remain ing In the race on that ballot. Other of ficers were elected unanimously as fol lows: Ben Fagan of Ellsworth, senior vice commander; W. E. Morris, Winfield, junior, vice commander; B. F. Baker, Beloit, chaplain. The Ladies' Aid society selected state officers as follows: President, Mrs. Dora Rogers, Empor ia; vice president, Mrs. Demorest Jones, Pittsburg; chaplain, Mrs. R. Gove, Gl rard; chief of staff. Miss Pearl Lilly, Chanute; delegate at large to national encampment. Miss Annie Popes, Wich ita; inspector. Mrs. Outcalt, Burlington. At 2 o'clock a parade of 5.000 veterans, school children and citizens took place on Main street and Douglas avenue. John Redmond of Wichita was elect ed department commander of the Sons of Veterans over Tracy Leonard of Lawrence by a vote of S6 to 30. The E. P. Sheldon post. No. 35, the largest post in Osage county, memorial izes the encampment with a bitter ar raignment of Pension Commissioner Eyans, charging him with ruthlessly and needlessly wounding the sensibili ties of loyal soldier citizens by his insin uations 'hat everyone of them, who ap plies under the laws of his country for a pension, and having been examined and placed on the rolls, has done so through a fraud and misrepresentation. By this method, the memorial contin ues, he attempts to make the pension roll a dishonor and a disgrace. It adds: "We charge him with permitting the public prints and journals to revile and censure without cause the surviving heroes of the civil war and the defense less widows and orphans of our dead comrades without rebuke. We charge him with inexcusable delay in the con sideration of meritorious applications: we charge him with a lack of candid and free judgment in establishing rules In his department which, are intended to delay conclusions upon applications; we charge him with unjust and unman ly criticism of a large class of pension attorneys, when, through discrimina tion, he insinuates that they present perjured testimony in support of claims." Immediately upon the reading of the paper Judge Thompson of Burlingame introduced a resolution requesting President MeKinley to remove the pres ent pension commissioner at once and place in his stead a man who is compe tent and worthy. This brought on a storm of applause. Commander Botkin, on motion, re ferred the memorial and resolution to a committee composed of the following men: Senior Vice Commander S. C. Wilson, C. B. Graves of Emporia, G. M. Stratton of Clav Center. F. P. Cochran of Cottonwood Falls and Judge Thomp son of Burlingame. The fight on the resolution was fierce and is yet undetermined, the special committee to whom they were referred having not yet reported. Endeavor is being made by the oppo nents of the measure to hold their men In line, believing the resolution will not be adopted. It is said that the principal opponents are Cyrus Leland and ex-Congressman W. A. Calderhead. Last night a big campfire was held at the auditorium and a brilliant dis play of fireworks made from the tops of the business blocks. Cash Hender son, the big dry goods merchant had Cuban scenes thrown from a projecto scope upon the front of his building, and the crowd sang "We'll Hang Old Weyler on a Sour Apple Tree." EOKOBS FOR HOOD. "Woman's Relief Corps Gives the Em porian a Reception, Wichita, April 22. A feature of the G. A. R. meeting here last evening was a reception given to Maj. Calvin Hood of Emporia by the board of managers of the Mother Bickerdyke home. The reception was held in the parlors of the Hotel Carey, which was crowded by the members of the W. R. C. The cause of the reception was a desire of the managers of the home to show ap preciation of the fact that when the G. A. B, over a year ago, turned over the grounds at Ellsworth to the W. R. C. for the purpose of establishing a home for the wives, mothers and daughters of veterans. Maj. Hood, without solic itation, sent the management a very liberal check to assist in starting the home. Up to date the major's unsolicited subscription, given long before he was a candidate for office, remains the largest amount so far donated by any single individual. This point the ladies were desirous of emphasizing; hence the reception last evening. BRODERICK INDIAN BILL. Curtis Reports Favorably on Measure for Sale of Surplus Indian Lands.

A Large Amount of Wharfage De stroyed. Vancouver, B. C, April 22. Not since Vancouver was destroyed by fire in 18TS has there been such a conflagration as took place early this morning. The fire started in one of the buildings on Stim son wharf and soon assumed disastrous proportions. The outbreak was discov ered by the men discharging coal from the steamer J. L. Card at the Union Steam ship company's wharf adjoining. They quickly gave the alarm and the J. L. Card blew her whistle. Other whistles and alarms joined in and soon the whole town was aroused. The entire fire brigde of the city was quickly on the ground, but the fire had obtained so firm a hold and burned so fast and furiously that it was soon seen that the buildings on the wharf were doomed. A number of the Canadian Pa cific cars filled with valuable freight, standing on siding, soon became a prey to the flames. The fire jumped to the New England Fish company's building, the bait shed and roof of the packing shed be ing soon aflame. The firemen turned their whole attention to this building and after an hour's hard work succeeded in getting the fire under control. The burning mass covered an area of wharf about 250 feet by 70 feet. WALTHALL IS DEAD. Mississippfs Senior XT. S. Senator Passes Away. Washington. April 22. Senator Edward C.

The employes of the federal government In this city are congratulating themselves that they are exempt from military serv ice at the present time.

Farrelly, author of the anti-trust law, has. it is said, written a sharp letter to Attorney General Boyle, criticising him for not proceeding against the wholesale grocers trust, evidence of the existence of which has been in the hands of the attorney general for six months. Mr. Boyle explains that he has been very busy in other directions, whila Farrelly intimates that the octopus has got hold of the attorney general's office.

The most valuable Implements of war will leave this port to day for the Spanish army in Cuba. They are actually moving forts, protected by steel armor plate, and are designed to be used on the railroads to protect the Span ish soldiers in their contests with both the Cuban troops and those of the United States who may land in Cuba. The cars have been loaded on the New York and Cuba mail steamer Aloedene. This steamer which is known as a British tramp steamer, was chartered recently by this American company, which is familiarly known as the "Ward line." The cargo the steamer carries, as far as known, con sists of a large quantity of provisions con signed to Spanish merchants in Havana, in addition to these moving- forts. The steel cars, which are of the box car type and consigned to F. O. Canto, Manza nillo, Cuba, are designed for the use of the Spanish troops. The cars are con structed to run on a narrow gauge rail road and were originally intended to be used by General Pando in his campaign in the eastern section of Cuba, but will now be used for any emergency that may arise. They are formidable looking affairs, each being constructed of wood, covered with -inch steel armor plate. They are each 25 feet in length and nine feet high. On each side of the cars are fifteen loop holes for riiies. Along the string pieces are the Spanish words "ferro cnrril mili tar." which, being translated, means "steel military car." A. G. Smith, secretary of the New York and Cuba line, when asked in regard to these cars, said: "We have sent a number of cars of the same description to Cuba prior to this shipment. The two cars now going on the Aloedene were to have been shipped on the Niagara, which was purchased by the United States government." ON A WAE FOOTING. Maryland Forces Expecting to Be Ordered Under Arms. Baltimore, April 22. The first step toward putting the militia of Mary land upon a war footing was taken this morning when Governor Lowndes issued an order promoting Adjutant General A. L. Wilmer to be a general and placed him in command of the land and naval forces of the state. Gen. Wilmer's headquarters will ba in Annapolis for the present. Orders call ing out the entire military forces of the state are momentarily expected. OFFERS A PREMIUM. Des Moines "Will Allow 60 Days' Pay to Employes Who Enlist. Des Moines, la., April 22. The city council this morning, passed a resolu tion ordering that all the city employes who volunteer, or enter the service of the United States, be allowed 60 days' pay from the time of their enlistment and upon return bearing honorable dis charge, are to be reinstated in the posi tions from which they resigned. SPAIN'S PLANS As Predicted by an Admiral of the British Navy. London, April 22. Admiral Sir Geo. Elliot, K. C. B.,late commander-in-chief at Portsmouth and one of the most distinguished of living British admirals, has given the New York "World corres pondent the following signed statement of his anticipations of the probable na val strategy of Spain: "I think that the strategy of Spain will be to allow the United States fleet to attack the fort3 at Havana, if they are so unwise; also to land troops on the south side of the island, trusting to yellow fever to fight them. Spain will then defend her fortified places, but, as Havana, I understand, is short of pro visions, a blockade would soon distress the garrison. Thereupon the Spanish fleet would come to relieve the blockade and there the sea fight would be. That is my prophecy." FIRST CAPTURED FLAG. Reward of $lGO Offered by a Chicago uerman .Editor. J Chicago, April 22. The following tele gram has been sent to President Mc Kinley by Editor Michaelis of the Freie Presse: "We have opposed a war with Spain, believing that the Maine case could be settled by arbitration, and that the Cu bans, who derailed trains, burned hos pitals and murdered officers sent to them with a flag of truce, are not worth a drop of American blood. But, since war has actually begun we will rally around the stars and stripes and we of fer a hundred dollars to the union sol dier who captures the first Spanish' ar my flag." BAD FOR THE OREGON. She May Be Attacked Without Any Warning of Danger. "Washington, April 22. At the war department there are many specula tions as to the destination of the Span ish squadron. One suggestion is that it is heading to cut off the fine battle ship Oregon, now on its way from the Pacific coast around to join Captain Sampson's command. There is also some fear that the Oregon may be' ta ken at an unfair advantage, without knowledge of the existence of war, by the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Temmeriere, which is now lying at Buenos Ay res. Possibly with a view to avoiding a conflict in the straits of Magellan, where she wottld be at a disadvantage, the Oregon has been ordered to go around Cape Horn. MINNESOTA IS EAGER. Governor Tenders President Three Regiments and Artillery Battalion. St. Paul, Minn., April 22. Governor D. M. Clough has telegraphed President McKinley an offer of the services of Minnesota's three infantry regiments and of the battalion of artillery. The Minnesota National guard could be immediately available for service in connection with the regiments of the regular army, not needing to alter eith er organization or tactics. WISCONSIN IS READY.

Boardman of the national guard issued a call to- the captains of all the companies of thof Wisconsin -national guard for the purpose of ascertaining how many of the members could be counted upon in case of war.

Revenue Cutters on the Lakes are Useless for War Purposes. "Washington. April 22. Relative to the news that comes from Chicago that the three revenue cutters on the lakes can not be availed of for naval purposes, it is said at the navy department that the de partment had some time ago abandoned the idea of using these craft, owing to the difficulties in getting them out to the At lantic seaboard. It was, however, denied that any international obstacle had been encountered in the shape of a notice from the Canadian government that the passage of the ships would not be permitted. The little Bancroft, now at Boston, has been placed under command of Captain Clover, who will meet the ship at NorfoiK within a few days and take it to Key West. ALL READY. Fort Monroe, April 22.

At 3 o'clock this -afternoon the salute to the national flag, 21 guns, was fired at the state house. At the first shot the flag was unfurled from the dome. This was the announcement from the state war department that hostilities with Spain have been commenced; that war actually began this morning by the capture of the Buena Ventura by the Nashville. It was the orignal intention to fire but one gun, a signal that war has be gun. It was suggested to Adjutant General Allen by a Journal reporter that Topeka and Kansas would not be content with one solitary shot. There was too much enthusiasm for that. "Wre will announce the beginning of the war by tiring one gun. That is in accordance with the regulations," said Mr. Allen. "Is it a violation of the regulations to fire more than one gun?" "Well, I presume so. It would at least be foolishness," said Mr. Allen. "Why not fire the national salute one gun for each state?" was the next question. "Why, there is no call for such a proceeding," said the adjutant general. "It would be ridiculous. The idea is a foolish one. The war was commenced by very unimportant event. The cap ture of that vessel amounts to nothing. Firing one gun is strictly military. "Under our regulations but one gun can be fired," he concluded with a wave of his hand. "How many guns do the regulations provide when W. J. Bryan comes to town?" inquired the reporter. "Er-er" hesitated Mr. Allen, as a flush spread over his face. "Er-er," he ejaculated again as he swung around in his chair and turned away from his questioner. He finally managed to say: "NTT-regulations on that point, so far as I know." "Anyhow," he concluded after think ing a moment, "we don't propose to be ridiculous." Afterward Mr. Allen went to see Governor Leedy and the governor said: "Oh, lire a lot of guns!" and so a- lot of guns were fired and everybody feels better, including Adjutant General Al len". The firing of ""the first gun was promptly announced by a special dou ble flag bulletin on the State Journal window (this was received with cheers) and the display of twenty additional flags, one in each upper window, mak ing with the colors on the staff twenty one flags on the State Journal building. When the Journal bulletins announced that the United States cruiser had cap tured a Spanish ship, the news spread rapidly. Large and small flags. United States and Cuban emblems were im mediately put out along Kansas avenue in business house's, appearing also in the residence portion of the city. Two flags were run up on the state house and unmistakable signs of loyalty and patriotism appeared on every hand. George W. Crane, the Palace Clothing house, state printing office, Copeland hotel. D. J. Greenwald and others ran up their flags. Major Hudson's residence at Ninth and Tyler displays an immense United States flag, while hanging by its side is a large Cuban flag. This combina tion is noticeable wherever peoDle have 1 been able to secure the Cuban colors. TO ATTACK NEW TORK. An Englishman's Idea of the Plans of the Spanish. San Francisco, April 22. An ex-English army officer, now residing here, has just received a letter from a Span ish political agent in New York. He writes that he procured some months ago copies of the official plans of the whole of New York harbor and sent them to his government. These plans are now in the possession of the ad miral in command of the Spanish fleet at Cape Verde Islands. The agent de clares that Spain has withdrawn all her good vessels from Cuban waters be cause she does not propose to make any defense of Cuba, except by means of the forts. All the available Spanish naval strength will be concentrated at Cape Verde Islands, and the agent intimated that the fleet, commanding 118 guns, would be dispatched direct for New York when it was seen that war was certain. He declared transports loaded with coal would be taken along, so that, after the run across the ocean, the vessels could be coaled one or two days out of New York. The Spanish fleet will then anchor off Coney Island, where it will not be exposed to any dangerous fire.and bombard New York. The agent ended his letter with the prediction that this action will give the United States all the war it will care for in a generation, and he de clared that the programme was quite feasible.

Fort Monroe, Va., April 22. "On waiting orders," is about all that can be said of the flying squadron- early today. The routine duties on board are gone through with in the same manner as any other day, the only difference no ticeable that officers were not given shore leave. Every officer was on board last night and anticipated starting -orders. The definite movement of the Key West fleet created little excitement as it had been anticipated. What seemed chiefly to interest the officers was, whether the Cape Verde islands fleet of Spain had moved, it be ing the general impression that until it does, this squadron will not make a move. The stories relating to the de tachment of the Massachusetts are de nied, no order of her attachment to any other fleet having been received. It was more peaceful here this morning than yesterday both as relates to activ ity on the ships, weather and sea. On shore there was a trifle more excite ment. People sat on the dock string pieces, and watched early for movements on the boats. Every string of signal that went up to the mast of the Brooklyn, was interpreted to mean something dire, until finally towards noon, it was seen that all the ships were at target practice and evidently not preparing to move as yet. Pilots are here ready to take out the ships at a moment's notice, fires are up and engines coupled and a start can be made in an hour. One of the colliers for the fleet, the Saturn, came back from Norfolk yard this morning with a full complement of coal and left for the United States squadron.

Chicago, April 22. WHEAT War news and advances at Liverpool of l3d, the latter in May wheat, today caused a strong opening in this market. One sale of July wheat was made at 90c and plenty of it changed hands around 89c. May, which -closed yesterday at $1.12, sold at $1.14H, but eased off to $1.13. Heavy local speculators, how ever,regarded the advance at Liverpool as a". good reason for short selling, because ocean freight rates had risen on war news and they argued that this market -should go lower in proportion as English markets advanced. Plenty of wheat was thrown over on the opening bulge. Outside or ders were extremely scarce, but local pro fessionals sold enough to break the price of July from around 89c to 88c. A half cent reaction followed on covering. July opened lc higher at 89ft90c, declined to 88c, rallying to 88c. Argentine ship ments were reported at 1.112.000 bushels, compared with 1.000.000 bushels last week. Minneapolis and Duluth received 216 cars, against 325 cars last year. Chicago receipts were 132 cars, compared with 9 a year ago. CORN Corn opened strong at an ad vance of !V4c for. July, but turned weak with wheat, losing all the advance: July opened 33iae, declined to 33330, ral lying to 33Hc OATS Oats ruled dull, but steady. July opened a shade higher at 24V5x14c, sold between 24Vic and 24c, holding steady at 24 c. PROVISIONS Provisions had a strong opening on war news and an advance of 10c in hogs, but longs and packers sold freely, causing sharp declines. The trade was quite broad.

New York: Conservative observers see no reason for demoralization of speculation simply because the sanguine views held so tenaciously in Wall street with regard to the averting of war with Spain have at last been given up. The street may not have been sentimentally prepared for act ual hostilities, but it is according to all testimony well prepared in a financial way. In the last week or ten days the banks have been especially cautious in their operations and have taken steps to strengthen the collateral of all loans that were at all suspected. London yesterday was a pers'stent seller of American securi ties, and selling orders also came to some extent from the continent.. It is reason able to suppose that the securities markft will receive the benefit of some support, as it is commonly believed the war will be short and decisive. The establishment of peace in Cuba would open the doors for the exploitation of a great amount of "Yankee" capital and enterurise. One result of the war will be the maintenance of a naval force in the future, which will give an assurance against foreign aggres sion. Another result that seems prob able will be the creation of closer polit ical relations between the United States and Great Britain, which cannot fall to carry with them marked commercial ad vantages. When peace returns it will probably mark the beginning of a long era of political quiet and industrial devel opment and activity. Ranges of Prices. Furnished bv the W. A.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1898. i'l r .f 4-, i A FIGHTING GOVERNOR. Bndd of California, Will Lead State Troops in Person. San Francisco, April 22. In the event of the entire state forces being: called out by the governor. Governor Budd. by virtue of his offlce as commander-in-chief of the national guard, will take the field in person at the head of the troops. THE WAR'S DURATION. It May Continue for Six Months But This is Not Expected. Washington, April 22. Opinions as to the duration of the war between the L'nited States and Spain differ widely. The preponderance of sentiment is that actual hostilities will not last longer than three months, although the war like situation may continue for six months or a year. Senators and repre sentatives have spoken of the affair lightly, and with one accord think it ought to be over in a month. The pres ident takes no such optimistic view, and his military and naval advisers think the war is likely to last from three to six months. The naval auth orities do not look for very disastrous results, but it is significant that pre parations have ben made for a four years' war. What puzzles the men who are di recting the army and navy movements of thi3 country is the apparent lack of effort on the part of Spain. Her navy Is badly scattered, and far from the field of possible conflict. There is no thought among the army and navy strategists in America of carrying on a warfare on the east coast of the At lantic. It has never ben contempla ted that our navy should go far beyond the vicinity of Cuban waters. except for the purpose of intercepting and de stroying an approaching fleet. There is a lurking suspicion that is giving much uneasiness to the people if Boston.New York-Baltimore. Charles ton and Savannah that the Spaniards contemplate war on American com merce on the hieh seas and on the principal big coast cities. Some, very alarming letters have been received from the city officials and leading busi ness men in these cities. The chief of engineers and the forti fication officials say the coast cities are ail amply protected by mines, torpe does and other submarine defenses, and by the harbor forts, augmented by the old monitors, which have been refitted.

MAINE OFFICER TALKS. "Cuba No Place for Women, Even as Nurses, Until All Things Are Changed." New York, April 22. When seen yes terday by a reporter, Engineer F. C. Bowers, who was on duty on the Maine when she was blown up, looked hale, happy and bright until the loss of the Maine was mentioned, when his face clouded and showed something of the grief and distress, which he so lately Buffered and witnessed. When asked to talk about the Maine, he begged to be excused, as it was such a painful subject to him. Being request ed to give his opinion as to what wo men could do if we have war, he said: "Women, as you know, rendered In valuable services in the late war, and did those things for the country that can not be too highly estimated, and will never be forgotten. But the ad vance that woman has made in all di rections during the last 30 years ought to enable her to be of even greater use at the present time." "Is there not something more she may do now?" was the question. "It would be a difficult task," was the reply, "for the women to excel in a war now the good works done by the splen did women who gave up everything to help and care for the soldiers during "I shall be sorry for war to come and particularly for the sake of the wo men, because It will leave so many homes desolate, and so many good, no ble women widows." Engineer Bowers Is awaiting orders, and while he does not say so in words, he does in looks, that he is anxious and ready to receive those orders quickly. When asked about women going to Cu ba as nurses, he said: "Not until the island has been sunk and thoroughly cleansed should an American woman put her foot on that soil." WAR ON MOSQUITOES. Sleadows and Ponds on Staten Island to Be Sprayed With Kerosene. New Tork, April 22. A combination tof residents of the south shore of Stat en Island has been formed for the pur pose of waging war upon the mosquito, with the aid of the agricultural depart ment officials. Last summer the mosquito became so annoying that the Midland Terminal company, which owns Midland Beach, cprayed the meadows and ponds with kerosene oil to kill the insects. The ef fect was felt at once, and thereafter the mosquitoes gave the bench and its pat rons a wide berth. The success of this experiment has encouraged, the residents of the neigh borhood, as well as those who frequent the club house and golf links of the Kiehmond County Country club, to ef fect a combination for a more thorough test of the kerosene experiment. It is proposed that every pond and pool of water be covered with the oil. The vrork will be undertaken by the end of the present month in order to destroy the larvae before they reach maturity. Every six weeks or oftener the water will be sprayed again until the end of the summer. The marshes In the rear of the beach are to receive a thorough spraying, to prevent any breeding there, and they also will be treated constantly during the summer. Application has been sent to Wash ington for the detail of ,an expert to as sist in the efforts, and it is expected that a favorable answer will be return ed. Enough money to give the scheme a good test has been subscribed. Many People Cannot Drink coffee at night. It spoils their sleep. iXou can drink Grain- when you please and sleep like a top.

STANTON'S WAIL. Looks for a Leader to Follow in Her Footsteps. Chicago Record: "Who Is there to succeed me?" Such is the wail of a grand, motherly old woman, who during nearly half a century, has been one of the most prom inent figures in the history of the 19th century Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stan ton. She is an old lady now, nearing 85, but her energy, her ambition and her brain power seem to be as young, as sturdy and as unrelenting as ever. Although Mrs. Stanton's enemies claim that she has repeatedly unsexed herself, in this respect at least, she remains as other women are, and wails. Not because she has grown old and blind, and in meas ure helpless, but because she sees Nthe time approaching very near when she must lay down her life's work, and the vista materializes no other and younger woman in the world who has the ability or even the inclination to take it up when she lets it fall. She says she would rather leave the fight in the hands of a hundred women than with one. and to the care of thou sands rather than of hundreds. "Every woman should succeed me," she said vehemently, "but none of them will. The women of the day are like cows they do not know enough to go in at milking time unless somebody drives them, and they are constantly getting in one another's way. I have been driving them all my life, and they have got in my way upon every oppor tunity. "Acteon was chased and devoured by his own beagles. I have been pursued and maligned by my own sex. The wounds of Lazarus were licked by the dogs out of pity; my efforts have drawn more recognition from men whom I fought than from the women for whom I battled." Mrs. Stanton insists that the present day woman is idealess, that she is to tally devoid of originality of thought and is, therefore, non-progressive. The w. C. T. U. and more than half of the Women Suffragists have utterly repudi ated her, because of the Woman's Bi ble, which is her last, and, she believes, her greatest idea. OLD PROJECTHEVIVED. Schema for an Inter-Oceanic Railway in South, America. New Tork, April 22. The Interoceanic railway project for South America is being agitated anew. The urgent neces sity for a road of this kind is said to be generally recognized, particularly in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru and Chili. The plan, which was proposed some time ago, and for which much of the preliminary investigation has been made, is to build a road from one of the ports in Brazil, say Rio de Janeiro, and to carry It through the Andes by means of a tunnel, thus placing the four repub lics on the west Peru, Chili, Bolivia and Ecuador in direct communication with Brazil, and through it with Eu rope. It is stated that the project is now about to take a new and practical form, and that an agreement may be reached between the governments concerned as to some plans of protecting the capital which will necessarily be invested in the work. Ecuador, however, has not yet given official approval to the project. If the project of the Interoceanic railway be carried out, merchandise going from Bolivia to Rio de Janeiro will have to be carried but a distance of from 2,600 to 2,700 kilometers. Running at the moderate rate of 30 kilometers an hour, the journey would take four days on the proposed road, in stead of 45 days, as at present. It is estimated that the construction of the line will occupy about nine years. The Royal is the highest grade baking powder known. Actual tests show it goes oae third farther than any other brand. POWDER Absolutely Pure OYM. Miami mwont co., rew vemc IP ADDITION TO SATS M'KINLEY IS RIGHT. Ex-Senator Pefier's Position on the Cuban Matter. Ex-TJnited States Senator Peffer says:: "The rule of international law un questionably is, that before a new gov ernment is recognized by other nations, it must be in fact a government and backed by a power which, it may reas onably be expected, will be able to maintain and support it. As to the in surgent Cubans, they have construct ed a paper government only. While they have possession of a portion of the island, it cannot be said that they are even attempting to carry on anything like a civil government. Being thus unable to erect and support a govern ment of their own, in order that the United States might recognize the inde pendence of the rebellious Cubans, we should be obliged to first secure their independence for them, and that by fighting the Spanish army and conquer ing the Spanish power in the island. There is nothing in the international code to justify any such proceeding. "But we have abundant cause for in tervention, as much as a man would have for interfering to stop a quarrel between two of his neighbors in order to prevent the killing of one and the consequent impoverishment of his fam ily. And that is what the president wants to do. He asks congress to au thorize him to use the army and navy to stop the barbarous war now going on in Cuba and to 'secure in the island the establishment of a stable govern ment capable of maintaining order and observing its international obligations, insuring peace and tranquillity and the security of its citizens as well as our own.' "The president's course is the wiser one from every standpoint. First, it is within the long established law of nations. Second, it is in complete ac cord with our own practice. Third, it would result in the independence of Cu ba and the establishment of a repub lican form of government there in close alliance with the United States. "The first move would necessarily be to get possession of the island; the sec ond to provide ways and means for the people to fairly and freely set up a Cu ban government, and the third to pro tect the new government from outside interference until all disposition to" in terfere from the outside had ceased." AGREEMENT REACHED! Volunteer Army Bill is Now Ready to Become a Law. Washington, April 22. The conferees of the two houses on the volunteer army bill, reached an agreement before congress convened today. According to this agreement, the senate recedes from Its first amendment concerning the time which the organized militia shall serve, but the term for which all volunteers are to be enlisted, is re duced from three years to two. The Warren amendment, authorizing the president to organize independent troops was retained, but the number was limited to 3,000. The senate re ceded from its amendment making it -uioa puis U3uij3a.i am joj jCjosjnduioa pany militia officers to receive their commissions from the governors of their respective states and leaving it optional as fixed by the house, the sen ate also receded from its amendment attaching an engineer officer to the staff of "each brigade commander. Ail the other senate amendments reducing the rank of staff officers, etc., were agreed to. RESERVES CALLED. Madrid, April 22.-9 A. M.

Troops En Koute for the South Given a Warm Reception. The crowd that was in waiting yes terday afternoon to see the soldiers come-through was kept busy going first to the Union Pacific depot in North To peka and then to the Rock Island de pot on the south side of the river. At last it was stated definitely at the last, moment that the soldiers would take supper at the Chesterfield. It was at first stated that the first section would be in at 4:30 and stop in North Topeka and that the two following sections would arrive about 30 minutes behind each other. When the first section fin fii arrived fr supper it was 5:30 and the other two sections were reported to follow at midnight. As a railroad man said: "You can not tell a thing about these soldiers. The commanding offi cer takes it into his head to stop and Stop they do as long as they want to, so the railroad officials can not tell when they will reach a given point." The train of one Pullman.two tourist sleepers, seven horse cars, one bag gage and two box cars and two flat cars arrived at the Rock Island depot yesterday afternoon at 5:30. As soon as the train was stopped the troopers comprising company H of the First regiment marched to the Chesterfield hotel for supper. The First regiment has four troops in Arizona, two in Chi cago, two at Fort Riley and four at Fort Sill. When the ten troops assem ble at Chickamauga it will be the first time they have been together since 1865. At Caldwell the troop was presented with a Cuban flag by the citizens. The troop consists of 57 men and five offi cers. After a stop of an hour for sup per and to feed the horses the train left for Kansas City. The first section bearing the Seventh infantry from Fort Logan, Denver, ar rived in Topeka over the Santa Fe at 8:30 this morning. The second section of freight cars carrying the horses of the officers, the mules of the baggage train, the wagons, ambulances', feed, immediately followed by the first sec ammunition, etc., arrived at 8:45 and left tion at 9 o'clock. The third section ar rived at 9:30 and left at 10 o'clock. Dur ing the stops the men took breakfast and the horses were watered and fed. The two trains carrying soldiers had on board the entire regiment of 560 men, the hospital corps and the band. The three sections will stop in Kansas City where the horses will be unloaded and fed and exercised. During the stop here the soldiers did a good business trading their shining brass buttons for ribbons and hat pins. One young soldier was surrounded by a crowd of girls who demanded a but ton apiece. That meant all the brass buttons on his blouse and he refused. They immediately grabbed him and be fore he could break away he was minus the buttons on his blouse. The regiment numbers about 560 men and 25 officers. At Colorado Springs they were presented with a Cuban flag. FRED FUNSTOfTCALLED Ordered to Report For Duty by the War Department.

CALL FOB TBOOPS Today and a Declaration of War To morrow is the Programme. Washington, April 22. Senator Davis, as the chairman of the foreign relations committee, was in conference with M Kinley for half an hour today. At its. conclusion he announced that there had been no material change in the situa tion and that everything was progress ing satisfactorily. Mr. Davis said that he understood the president would issue the expected call for volunteers before the 'close of the day. As to the probability of a for mal declaration of war by congress, he said that it was likely that action would be taken tomorrow. That would allow the Spanish government the full limit of time imposed by the ultimatum. Senator McMillan of Michigan and Senator Wilson of Washington, Repre sentatives Curtis of Iowa and Babcock of Wisconsin were also with the presi dent. Mr. Babcock's mission related to the proposed bond issue to meet war emer gencies. He urged that it be made a popular loan, saying that it was only right that the people should be given an opportunity to take part of the issue. The president, it is understood, agreed in this view, and Secretary Bliss, who has also been talked with, it is stated, is heartily in favor of it. Mr. Babcock thinks the bonds should bear interest at 3 Der cent. A member of the cabinet at 11- o'clock today, just before the cabinet assemb led, said it had not been settled by the administration whether to ask congress to make a formal declaration of war.

The portrait here presented is that of Mrs. Lucy Frost Murdock, who writes thus from her residence on East Eighth street, Kansas City, Mo.: c I LUCY FROST MURDOCK. Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 8, 1897. Loring Co., Chicago: Gentlemen: I grew fleshy for more than ten years and during that time took sev eral treatments for corpulency. None of them did any good, however, until I used Dr. Edison's Obesity Pills and Reducing Tablets. These remedies seemed to con trol my system and produce good results at one though at the beginning my obe sity was complicated by dyspepsia of sev eral years' standing. This trouble was speedily overcome, however, by Loring' s Germ Killer Dyspepsia Tablets, which, in my case, acted like a charm in over coming indigestion and stomach trouble. In about six weeks I was reduced thirty nine pounds and put in perfect health. My sister, Mrs. Oliverof St. Louis, is now being reduced in flesh and is deriving great benefit by taking Loring's Germ Killer Heart Tablets, which are curing her of fatty degeneration of the heart. I will al ways be glad to speak a good word for your treatment. Yours truly. LUCY FROST MURDOCK.

President Me Kinley was at breakfast by five minutes past 9 o'clock; two old friends, Webb G. Hayes and Gen. Hastings of Ohio, dined with him. Mr. Hayes is the son of the ex-president, and Gen. Hastings was colonel of the regiment in which Mr. McKinley served during the war. They have been the president's guests for a day or two. It was unusually quiet at the White House during the forenoon, largely in anticipation of the assemblage of the president's official council, for it was regular cabinet day. The change in the cabinet became operative today and Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith of Philadelphia will sit with the cabinet. Senator Davis, chairman of the com mittee on foreign relations, and Senator Cannon of Utah, were with the presi dent early today. Senator Cannon's vis it, however, was of a largely personal character, but he expressed the belief that there would be a formal declara tion of war made by congress tomorrow and that it would be put through the senate in a few minutes afternoon when the period allowed by the ultimatum of this government would expire. He did not, he said, believe it would be proper for this government to take such action until after the limit had expired. Arrangements were made early today for the assumption of office at 11 o'clock of Mr. Smith, the new postmaster gen eral. It is customary for the cabinet of ficers to enter on their duties with an administration of the oath by a mem ber of the supreme court. Today was no exception, and in defer ence to the personal friendship and cor dial relations between Mr. Smith and Associate Justice Shiras of Pittsburg, the latter administered the oath at the White House shortly before the cabinet meeting.
