The first divis ion of United States troops to begin the invasion of Cuba.sailed from Key "West at daylight this morning.

Out of abundance of caution the navy department caused the detention of the expedition after it had once started from Tampa, but the officials of the war department have had the men ready to take the field since last "Wed nesday. Today's movement was made under the fifth urgency order the president lias given. "When the navy department received word of the landing of marines at Caimanera it was clear to all that no further dillydallying would be per mitted. "While the landing place is 40 miles from Santiago, a strong Spanish force, under General Linares, could march across country and engage the marines in a bloody battle. Reenforce ments for the marines are deemed ab solutely essential. Now For Porto Rico. "Washington, June 13. Now that the troops have embarked for Santiago, the Porto Rican expedition looms up. Or ders have been sent by President Mc Kinley to Major General Coppinger, who will command the expedition, and to Major General Lee, who will be sec ond in command, to hasten the expedi tion in every possible way. Under the most favorable circum stances, however, it will be utterly im possible to get the army embarked and started for Porto Rico in less than two weeks. The troops that will constitute the expedition will be drawn from the armies now encamped in Tampa and Jacksonville. At the latter place there are at pres ent 10,000 volunteers, under the com mand of Major General Lee. It will not be necessary to take the entire force at Jacksonville for the Porto Rican expe dition, as the intention of the govern ment is to send only an army of about 10,000 men to San Juan, some of whom will be regulars from Tampa. A commission of officers is now in the south investigating the facilities offered for embarkation at Jacksonville, Fernan dina and other places. This commission will report to the war department early next week. In all probability the troops will em bark from Jacksonville, while the pro visions and supplies for the Porto Rican expedition will be sent from Tampa. The government expects little difficulty in obtaining transports for the Porto Ri can army. By the time the expedition is ready to leave the vessels that' have been detailed by the war department to convey General Shaffer's army to Santi ago de Cuba will be returned to the Unit ed States. According to Lieutenant Whitney's re port, the fighting Torce of the Spaniards now in Porto Rico is only about 4.000 sol diers. Oflicials of the government, how ever, are preparing an army to meet dou ble this number of men. The plan of operation against Porto Rico.as outlined today by an officer of the army high in authority, is to have the troops land at a safe place within easy reach of San Juan and to get behind the city. As soon as the army has arrived at this strategic point a combined land and naval attack will be made upon the city and surrounding fortifications. Major General Lee, after the capture of San Juan, will return to the United States ad go with the army of invasion to Western Cuba. Major General Coppinger meanwhile will remain in Porto Rico as military gover nor. As far as ammunition is concerned, the armies of the United States are now prop erly equipped for a campaign in Porto Rico. Cuba or any other place. The gov ernment now has on hand 500 rounds of ammunition for each soldier in the army. Horses Left Behind. "Washington, June 13. It was formal ly announced at the war department this morning that the first military ex pedition had left Key West at daylight today, bound for Santiago. All day yes terday there was a lively conference between the officials of the navy and war departments and after an all day session the war board completed its TO BE USED IN LANDING UNCLE SAM'S SOLDIERS AT SANTIAGO DE CUBA. shallow that transports cannot get nearer than a quarter of a mile to the land, and pontoon bridges must be built be plans for convoying the troop trans ports. Major General Shafter, who com mands the expedition, has with him a force of 773 officers and 14,564 enlisted men. The United States regular troops make up the greater part of the force, there being but three volunteer or ganizations on the ships. These are the Seventy-first New York infantry volunteers, the Second Massachusetts infantry volunteers and two dismount ed squadrons of four troops, each from the First United States volunteer cav alry, the regiment which Col. Wood commands, and of which Theodore Roosevelt is lieutenant colonel. Wheth er any of these officers is with the two squadrons named is not yet known at the war department. It was difficult to prevail upon the mounted riflemen to leave their mounts behind, but this was a matter of necessity, it is said, owing to lack of accommodations for the horses on shipboard. The best that the department could do at this time in the way of supplying the cavalry contingent for the expedi tion was to include among the troops one squadron of the Second United States cavalry fully mounted with nine officers and 280 enlisted men. LEE "WILL LEAD. Fitzhugb. "Will Command the Porto Rican Expedition. New York, June 13. A special to the Times from Washington says: "Now that the Santiago expeditionary force under General Shafter is on its way to co-operate with Admiral Sampson in the reduction of that city and the cap ture of the Spanish ships in its harbor, the energies of the war department are expected to be directed toward prepar ations for the Invasion of Puerto Rico. While these preparations will be push ed forward as expeditiously as possible, there is no reason to believe that any extraordinary haste will be resorted to. The volunteers at Jacksonville and Tampa, who are expected to form part of the army of invasion for Puerto Rico, are not inclined to be sent to that is- Continued on Sixth Page. LAI BATTLE. First Engagement of the War on Land Takes Place on the Shore at Guantanamo Hay. IT LASTED 13 HOURS. And Ended in the Repulse of the Spaniards. Guerrillas Make a Rush on Our Position. AMERICAN LOSS IS 4. Reinforcements From the Mar blehead End the Fight. Spanish Loss Is Thought to Be Considerable. (Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press.) On board the Associated Press dis patch boat Dauntless, off Guantanamo, Sunday, June 12, via Mole St. Nicholas, June 13. Lieutenant Colonel R- W. Huntington's battalion of marines, which landed from the transport Pan ther on Friday and encamped on the hill guarding the abandoned cable sta tion at the entrance to the outer harbor of Guantanamo, has been engaged in heading off a rush attack by Spanish guerrillas and regulars since 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The fighting was almost continuous for thirteen hours, until 6 o'clock this morning, when reinforcements were

connecting the transports with the shore, landed from the Marblehead. Four of our men were killed and one wounded. The advance pickets under Lieuten ants Neville and Shaw are unaccounted for. Among the killed is Assistant Surgeon John Blair Gibbs, son of Major Gibbs, of the regular army, who fell in the Custer massacre. His home was at Richmond. Va., but he has been prac ticing medicine in New York and he entered the service since the war began. He was a very popular officer. The others killed are Sergeant Chas. H. Smith, of Smallwood; Private Wil liam Dunphy, of Gloucester, Mass., and Private James McColgan, of Stone ham, Mass. Corporal Glass was accidentally wounded in the head. The Spanish loss is unknown, but it was probably considerable. The splash es of blood found at daylight at the positions the Spaniards occupied indi cate fatalities, but their comrades car ried off the killed and wounded. The engagement began with desultory firing at the pickets, a thousand yards inland from the camp. Captain Spicer's company was doing guard duty, and was driven in, finally rallying on the camp and repulsing the enemy at 5 o'clock. The bodies of Privates Mc Colgan and Dunphy were found, both shot in the head. The large cavities made by the bullets, which, inside a range of 500 yards, have a rotary mo tion, indicate that the victims were killed at close range. CUBANS WANT MONEY. Can't Enlist Any More Men Till They Make a Raise. New York, June 13. Tomas Estrada Palma, has just received an appeal for pecuniary aid for the Cuban cause. The appeal follows: "In view of the enormous expenditure of money necessary to fit out and land a volunteer contingent of Cubans from this country and the added assurance which we have received from the differ ent Cuban generals in the field, com manding the various divisions in the field, particularly in the Orient and Camaguey, that there are several thou sand men in those parts who are anx ious to join the army of liberation, but are unprovided with arms and ammu nition, with which to fight, the delega tion has felt justified in the action which it has taken not to call for addi tional Cuban volunteers at present at least. "The cost is too great for the funds at our disposal, and we find that Cu bans on the island can be equipped at less expense. It is possible that at some later time it may be opportune to ask for further volunteeers, but we already have fully 400 Cubans now In camp at Tama ready to form a second division. "In the meantime we will continue to do all in our power to aid those who have already gone and remain united and helping each other in the grand struggle which is being made for Cuban independence. It is a grave mistake, which is liable to result in serious con sequences, for our Cuban brethren in this and other foreign countries in believe that because the United States has declared war against Spain and has joined with us to free Cuba fron. Spanish rule, that Cuba has now been recognized as independent; that there is no further need of Cubans contributing funds for the support of the cause and delegation. "During the brief time which has elapsed since the declaration of war was made have arisen many extraordi nary expenses and these have all had to be met promptly. The extra ex penses will in all probability continue to arise from time to time and we are unable to anticipate them. "The Cuban republic has been declar ed free and independent and if it is de sired that it should always remain so it is necessary for Cuban patriots to lend their aid to it and support and provide for it. It is still of the ut most importance that we should have funds to carry on our work. "If we have not money with which to meet our obligations we expose our selves to discredit and dishonor among our brethren of the United States who have joined with us to fight for us, and the impression which we would convey would be an unfavorable one and that beautiful example of abnegation, union and discipline which the Cuban patriots have given to all the world should ap peal to the patriotism of every Cuban in this and other countries. I trust that they will all harken to the call of duty and continue to contribute their pecuniary aid to the cause of Cuban independence and liberty each in pro- A trestle work or road is then portion to his means and ability, that we may complete, our mission in good faith and in good standing." SPAIN FULL OF HOPE. Determined to Continue the War on Paper. Madrid, June 13. A semi-official note is sued today emphatically contradicts all the American reports of operations in Cuba and even denies that the American forces have effected a landing in Guan tanamo bay or elsewhere. The note con cludes: "The European powers will make a mis take in imagining that Spain is discour aged and at the end of her resources. On the contrary Spain is full of hope and de termined to continue the war." l,000llES WANTED. Barton County Calls for Help to Har vest Wheat.

The Defense of John Collins May Be Thte. Probable He Could Be Acquitted on This Ground. MAY HIRE WATERS As Counsel in Conjunction With A. A. Godard. It is Said Collins Has Made No Confession. Is John Collins insane? It is now reasonably certain that will be the defense of the attorneys in the trial. Attorney J. G. Waters has been em ployed to assist in the defense. He said today that John Collins can be acquit ted on the ground that he is insane or that he did not do the deed. Attorney Waters denied that he had been employed but it is learned from another source that he has been re quested to assist Mr. Godard and there is no doubt about his acceptance. He is one of the best criminal lawyers in the state and to be associated in the case with Mr. Godard means that the case will be fought step by step from the start. County Attorney Jetmore is so en grossed with other criminal business that he has not yet made arrangements for the preliminary hearing but it will be early next week or during the latter part of this week. An attempt will be made at the preliminary hearing to probe the testimony of Johnson Jordan and the other negroes to the bottom for the purpose of finding the discrepancies if there are any. There are rumors that something startling has transpired in connection with the case but those who are near the officers and the Collins family all say that so far as John Collins is con cerned there is nothing new to be told Detective Harbaugh called at the jail today. He was asked if John Collins had shown any disposition to make a confession and replied: "No, I know nothing of anything of the kind. If he had done that I would go home." CHAIN OP CIRCUMSTANCES. Many of Which Only Make Things Look Blacker for John Collins. John H. Collins, who is accused of the murder of his father on the morn ing of May 13, wanted Grant Meade arrested soon after the murder took place. Grant Meade is the son of Mrs. J. S. Collins. He did this in the pres ence of Sheriff Porter S. Cook and in answer to questions propounded by Detective Dell Harbaugh. Harbaugh questioned the young man closely on the subject. Collins said to them: "Why don't you investigate this clue about Grant Meade? How do you know but that he was here that night and killed my father? My father bor rowed $500 of him and Grant claimed that he never paid him back. Why don't you look the matter up and find out?" Detective Harbaugh immediately tel egraphed to the superintendent of the division where Grant Meade was con ductor and learned positively that Grant Meade was hundreds of miles from Topeka when the murder oc curred. This was the first intimation which Collins made at trying to defi nitely place the crime. When informed that positive information had been re ceived that Grant Meade was hun dreds of miles away, he said nothing in reply. Mr. J. P. Griswold, of the milling firm of Shellabarger Griswold, was at Lawrence the day on which Detective Dell Harbaugh secured from Miss Frances .Babcock the important state ments which corroborated other dam aging evidence against John Collins. He was at the Babcock residence and after listening to the conversation for some time, said to Mrs. Babcock: "At first I was convinced that John Collins was not guilty. Now, Mr. Harbaugh is fooling you. He don't believe Mr. Collins committed suicide at all. He knows just as well as I do that he did. I am going to leave, I don't want to hear any more." After Mr. Griswold left, Mrs. Babcock said to Harbaugh: "You won't let him influence you, will you?" But as time passed and Harbaugh again visited the Babcock family, they became convinced that John Collins was the murderer of J. S. Collins. Miss Frances Babcock said: "Just bring him down here to see me, and if- he admits that he lied to me about those stories of his father being pursued by colored men, I will accuse him of killing' his father. Detective Harbaugh says that he be lieves that if he had been successful in having a meeting between Frances and John, the latter would have broken down. There is a rumor current which will be verified shortly to the effect that previous to the supposed arrangement Vnade with the colored toughs. Harper and Jordan, that John Collins entered a Lawrence drug store and tried to persuade the colored porter to procure some deadly poison, as "he wished to kill a man." This brings up a little circumstance related by Miss Babcock to the effect that once while tatidem riding, John Collins puffed as if out of breath, where upon the young lady asked: "What's the matter, are you out of breath?" "No," replied Collins, "but I some times have a heart trouble. My father has heart trouble, and we expect him to drop over any minute." This has been proven to be a mis take, as J. S. Collins passed a good physical examination for life insurance, and no affection of the heart was dis covered. Miss Frances Babcock has made her important information in the form of an affidavit, wnicn wiu be most valu able in the trial of the case. She states that Collins made a proposal of mar riage to her and that she went with him to her mother, but that Mrs. Bab cock stated positively that her daugh ter was too young to think of such a thing, but added that he would be al lowed the courtesies of the Babcock home, but that thoughts of marriage for the time being should be banished from their minds. She says further that the thought of the separation which would occur when she went to the seashore seemed to worry Collins. Finally, she says he told her that if he received an invitation he would go to the sea shore also. He added: "Yes, I know you will go down there and some of those plug hat, slick tongued eastern fellows will fall in love with you and entertain you so nicely that when you come home I will not be in it. But I will just fool them and I will go to the seashore and show them that Frances is my own girl." Miss Babcock says that on the Sunday before the murder she was- with Collins and she said to him: "John, what ails you? You seem worried about something." She says Collins replied: "Yes, I know I am. Father is in trouble again and I expect he will be killed, as those negroes are following him yet. But pshaw, I've told you too much al ready." Miss Babcock says of receiving the telegram "Father is dead, say noth ing," that a few minutes after receiving it she received a telephone message from Collins in which he explained that the words "say nothing" meant that she should not say anything about the conversation they had had about the negroes following his father. She says that on the day following she re ceived a letter from him which con tained the repeated warning. When Detective Harbaugh had se cured the evidence from Miss Babcock he asked her to give him a letter of in troduction to John Collins so that he might be enabled to find out facts at the Collins residence. She did so and furnished the following letter which she headed "The Roanoke," which is the Babcock family residence: "My Dear Friend John: The gentle man who will give you this letter is Mr. Harbaugh. He has known me ever since I was a little girl and my family long before I was born. I tell you this to show you that we know all about him. I have told him all that you ever told me about your father. He wishes me to write to you asking if you will see him and tell him all the different little things that your father said to you. It may help him. I hope you will see him and tell him all the things he wishes to know. Your true friend, "FRANCES BABCOCK." Armed with this, Detective Harbaugh was received by the Collins family and he made the important discoveries which have led to the collection of the circumstantial evidence, considerable direct evidence, and the arrest of John Collins on the charge of murdering his father. It was Detective Harbaugh who dis covered that young Collins" did not sleep in his own room on the night of the murder, but occupied the front spare room. In his sworn statement he stated that he occupied his own room. In the sworn statement made by Mrs. J. S. Collins she stated positively that John slept in the spare room, and that he had only occupied it once before. These statements were taken down by two detectives in Dell Harbaugh's charge, who were introduced as insurance ad justers to the Collins family, but who were in reality securing evidence for the arrest. At another time when the statements were being made, Mrs. Collins said that when she first awoke she looked up and saw the transom. John Collins was present and he quickly interrupted her, saying: "No mother, don't you re member, you looked first at the ceiling." Mrs. Collins, in her sworn statement, said: "I slept soundly all night till 5 o'clock in the morning, when I awoke and looked around. The dawn was just breaking. I think now that it was the noise made by the burglar that aroused me. I know it was 5 o'clock because I heard the clock strike and counted the strokes. I turned over and went to sleep. It was 5:15 when I was awaken ed by two shots. They sounded very loud. The room was full of thick smoke. I saw nobody. My husband groaned: Oh, Helen, I am shot.' I went to get out of bed and he said: 'Get the camphor, Helen. Oh, my back.' I got up and got the camphor and went to rub it on him and then saw how badly he was wounded. I kissed him and ran to the stairs and called to John and Grace and then ran back. He died yQ Major-Gen. Shafter, Who Commands U. S.

Collins, were found to have locks which showed that they had been tam pered with. Jesse Harper says that Collins told him he would fix the locks so that they could not be worked. Dean John Whitefield Sykes, of Grace cathedral, called upon John Collins on Saturday. He was admitted without question and he had a long conference with the prisoner. When he came away he refused to say anything for publication except that John had told him that he was entirely innocent and that he was the victim of a plot. A few personal friends called upon Collins Sunday, but none of the mem bers of his family. He was sent some (Continued on Sixth Page.) AWAITS SHAFTER.

By the Associated Press dispatch boat AVanda, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 13. In controlling the outer har bor of Guantanamo, where Lieutenant Colonel Huntington's battalion of marines landed on Friday, Rear Ad miral Sampson secures possession of the Cuban terminus of the French cable to Hayti. The apparatus in the office at the harbor mouth was wrecked by a shell, but the cable steamer Adria has instruments and operators on board and direct communication with Wash ington will soon be established. The distance overland to Santiago around the bay is about sixty miles and the loads have been rendered impassa ble by the Cubans under Pedro Perez. The first division of the Cuban army claims to have 4,000 men, but those fig ures are probably overestimated. The Cubans believe that there are about 3,500 soldiers in the vicinity of Caima nera, which lies at the entrance to the inner harbor. Guantanamo city is in land about fifteen miles. The two har bors are connected by a narrow chan nel. It is the outer harbor which Ad miral Sampfaon now holds with the Marblehead, the Yosemite and the Vix en, and with a battalion of marines on the crest of a blunt-topped eminence commanding the entrance on the west ern side. In the inner harbor are two small Spanish gunboats, and at Caima nera there Is a battery. An expedition of three steam launches, officered by Lieutenant Nor man .Ensign Eustis, son of Mr. James D.

The camp will probably be named Camp McCalla, after the commander of the Marblehead, who is indefatigable, and has not removed his clothing since the bombardment.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1898. THEY ARE OFF. General Sliafter 's Army of Invasion Sails From Key West for Santi ago. 17,000 ALL TOLD. Loaded on Thirty-Two Ocean Transports. Only Picked and Seasoned Sold iers Taken. Washington, June 13. Under com mand of Major General Shafter, tha First division of the United State3 army sailed last night from Key West for Santiago de Cuba to besiege and capture that town. The army trans ports, 30 in number, left Port Tampa Saturday and stopped at Key West. The convoying warships, numbering between 16 and 19, were ready when the transports arrived at Key West, and with this powerful force there is no longer reason for apprehension that the transports can be attacked successfully by any Spanish warships, even if some should have escaped the vigilant search of the naval commanders at Key West and oft Havana. It is believed here that the sally out of Havana of the three Spanish gun boats was intended to create the im pression that they were prepared to go out to attack the transports. If so, the plan miscarried, for the craft were de tected immediately by Commodore Watson's cruisers and driven back pell mell into Havana harbor under the pro tection of the guns of the shore bat teries. Even if these boats had es caped, they could have done no dam age, for the size of the convoy furnish ed for the troop-ships is sufficient to warrant the belief that they would have been speedily destroyed had they had the courage to make an attack up on the fleet of American ships. The Spanish gunboats are not of a formidable character, not one of them being the equal in power of the smallest of the American cruisers, or even of such gunboats as the little Bancroft, which may be used as General Shat ter's flagsnip. Every precaution has been taken by the government to insure the safety of the troops en route to Cdba. The na val war board was in session yesterday, making the final preparations for the disposition of the guard ships. The transports will be kept as closely to gether as safe navigation will permit, and the warships will be disposed ahead, astern and on either flank. The fleetest running vessels will be thrown far out in advance of the transports, and, in order to insure against an at tack from the rear, some of these ves sels, such as the St. Louis, perhaps.will linger far astern, ready to signal the heavily armed cruisers at the first sign of an approaching foe. The stately battleship Indiana, it is expected, will lead the procession of ships, which will be the most numerous gathered in American waters since the civil war. The troops should arrive off Santiago by Wednesday night, supposing the fleet proceeds at eight knots speed and landing operations should begin by Thursday, for General Shafter will not keep his men cooped up on shipboard a moment longer than necessary. It is not believed that they will be landed at Caimanera, the point on .Guantanamo bay, where the American flag now flies over the heads of Sampson's marines, as that place, while well adapted to serve as a naval base, and as a harbor of refuge for the American warships, is not particularly well suited for the be ginning of military operations. In ten days' time, unless unforeseen obstacles are encountered, the move ment upon Porto Rico will begin. The war department has been in close com munication by telegraph with General Miles at Tampa, and all of the neces sary instructions have been given to the commanding general for the pre paration of the military forces to be used in this part of the campaign. Gen eral Miles, In turn, has been consulting Generals Coppinger and Lee at Jack sonville, giving the necessary detailed instructions, and all is so near ready that, were some essential supplies on hand, the expedition could start within 24 hours. The navy department has been advised of the purpose of the army, and the war board is making arrangements for the sup ply of the convoying fleet. This will be of a more formidable character than that which goes with the Santiago expedition, for the plans contemplate a joint attack upon the San Juan fortifications by the army and navy, and these fortifications are so powerful that heavily armored ehips only can be sent against them at the beginning. Therefore, it is believed that Sampson's battleships will head this fleet. Now that Sampson has taken up a posi tion ashore in Guantanamo bav. It is ex pected at the navy department that he will soon be in direct cable communication with the department, which will greatly facilitate the combined operation of the navy and army. The cable he cut Just before landing the marines was buoyed, and as soon as cable operators and instru ments can be gotten over from Hayti the cable will be opened again. Make Up of the Expedition. Tampa, Fla.. June 13. The expedition that sailed from here to Key West prior to going to Santiago was made up of nearly twenty regiments of regular in fantry, of 500 to 550 men each, including beside four regiments of the Fifth army corps, four regiments of artillery. The total force of the regular infantry was about 11,000 men. There were also two regiments of volunteer infantry, about 2 men altogether, the Second regiment of infantry from Mobile, 500 men, and two battalions each from the First.

Washington, June 13. The conflict between Colonel A. C. Girard, chief of surgeons at Camp Alger, and the regi mental surgeons has culminated in the appointment of a commission to Investi gate the division hospital. It has been the colonel's policy to take from the va rious regiments their hospital supplies provided by states and friends and con centrate them into the division hospital. This has been opposed by the regi ments. Representative Fitzgerald of Massachusetts, called the attention of General Graham to the state of affairs and General Graham summoned Col onel Girard before him for explanation. Colonel Girard maintained that he had acted strictly In accordance with army regulations and said if they were en forced the regimental dispensaries would be abolished. General Graham decided to have an investigation made and a commission was appointed for the purpose. The chief surgeon will per mit subordinates to conduct the division hospital pending a report. A circu lar was issued to the head surgeons stating that two cots might be retained in each regimental hospital and other articles would be supplied from the di vision hospital when necessary if prac ticable. This concession Is not satis factory to the various regiments who hope to see the division hospital abol ished. A SWORD FOR DEWEY. Committee Appointed to Look After the Matter. Washington, June 13. The secretary of the navy has appointed the board to carry Into effect the joint resolution of congress authorizing him to present a sword of honor to Admiral George Dewey and to distribute bronze medals commemorating the Battle of Manila Bay to the officers and men of the ships of the Asiatic squadron of the United States under command of Admiral Dewey. The board consists of Mr. Al len, assistant secretary of the navy; Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and Professor Marshall Oliver, now on the duty of selecting suitable designs for the sword and medals and to submit an estimate of the cost of the same. The joint resolution providing for the sword and medals carries an appropriation of $10,000 for their manufacture. ROUGH RIDERS FOR MANILA. Nevada Troop is Ordered to Report at San Francisco. Denver, June 13. Orders have been received at army headquarters for the dispatch of the Nevada troop of Col. Torrey's rough riders now at Cheyenne to San Francisco, and Col. Atwood, chief quartermaster of the department, has asked for bids from the railroads for the transportation. This order is taken as indicating that the entire regiment is to be sent to the Philippines. The regiment is not yet fully equipped and provided with horses, but the several troops will be forwarded as fast as they are ready. NEW GOLD FIELDS. Stea mer Brings Reports of Excitemen at WrangeL Victoria, B. C, June 13. The steamer Princess Louise, which has returned from Wrangel, making the return voy age in seven days, brings news that the small body of men encamped there building boats' to continue their jour ney via the lake and the Hootalinqua to the Klondike country have made a find richer than any strike that has been made for some time past in the Klondike mining district. Needless to state, boat building was abandoned and all are at work on newly staked claims on the shores of Lake Teslin. While some of the men were walking along the shore in search of drift wood for a fire they -noticed colors in the black gravel. On washing a few pans of the alluvial soil gold was obtained. After further investigation about a mile from the camp a place was found where several pans went very high, one giving about J300. The lucky man, whose name could not be learned, but who is said to be one of the carpenters employed at the Canadian Development company's sawmill at the lakes, at once dropped the pan after securing his gold, and after staking a claim rushed over to the camp of the mining recorder at the settlement and record ed his location. All his companions im mediately followed suit, and on their reporting their good fortune at the encampment a number set out to stake claims along the shore. At Glenora and Telegraph, where at present there are about 200 people, the wildest excitement prevailed when the news was told, and hundreds at once packed their outfits and started to the scene of the discovery. A downward river steamer brought word of the dis covery to Wrangel, and mining excite ment seized Wrangelites, numbers of whom, according to the officers of the Princess Louise, have started inland ere now. The Princess Louise brings news that the spring freshets are bringing the waters of the Stickeen to a great height and making the current exceedingly swift. With the exception of four ves sels the fleet of Stickeen river steamers is now penned up above the canyon unable to get down the river owing to the swiftness of the rapids in the can yon and the drift wood. The four ves sels not penned up are the steamers Ramona, preparing to come down, as she is not sufficiently strong ascend the swift-running river; the Monte Cristo, awaiting the arrival of a shaft, she having broken hers; the Skagit Chief, which Is ashore and from all ac counts likely to remain so all season, a few miles below Glenora, and the Casca. The penned-up vessels will be unable to get through the canyon until the water goes down, which may be a week or two yet. An idea of the swiftness of the cur rent on the Stickeen can be ascertained from the fact that the steamer Vic torian on her last trip down made fully forty knots an hour and the engineers were at times obliged to reverse her engines to prevent her getting beyond control. Word is brought of the drowning near Glenora of a French miner whose name could not be learned.

Which Followed the Recent Up rising1 in Sierra Leone. MANY CARRIED AWAY. Fate of the Captives Cannot Be Determined. English Missionaries Alone Es cape Molestation.. Liverpool, June 13. Steamers -which have arrived here from Sierra Leone re port that a thousand persons were killed in the recent uprising in that dis trict. One hundred and twenty inhab itants of Freetown, most of them trad ers, are known to have been massa cred, and other colonists were carried into the bush by the "war-boys. Three hundred friendly natives were killed, and besides the white missionar ies, six colored missionaries of the Unit ed Brethren of Christ were murdered at Manchbargru. The English mission aries are at the mercy of the war-boys, but have not been molested. BROKE NO EGGS. Runaway Horse Dashes Into a Com mission House. St. Paul, Minn., June 13. A runaway horse dragging four cart wheels, dashed into C. B. Grant's commission store and galloped madly through the place. On he plunged toward a narrow passageway leadiner to a room in the rear a distance or at least a nunarea reet irom tne iront. a ne cart wneeis lonuweu, uui u iuukku an though they must pause at the passage way, which was at least too narrow by a foot to permit their passing. But when the horse stopped still in the rear room the cart wheels were there too. Cases of eggs were strewn about the floor, but, strange to say, not a single egg was fractured. Empty cases were smash ed to pieces, one side of the egg candling partition was torn down, the electric liht wires were broken and a big pane of glass in one of the front windows was shatter ed. But all the eggs, whether innocent or guilty, escaped punishment. This remarkable performance was due to an insecurely fastened cart wheel, which separated Itself from a vehicle belonging to David Ross. Mr. Ross had just driven across the Robert street bridge, when one wheel of his vehicle became detached. In the wagon with Mr. Ross were Rabbi Rosenberg of the west side and a lad who works for him. As the wheel rolled away all three occupants were precipitated to the pavement, and the horse started to run, while Ross still clung to the lines and was dragged along the street. He let go at Third street and the horse turned at that corner and ran up toward Minnesota. As the runaway arrived opposite the commission bouse the vehicle struck the hind wheels of a cart just ahead, in which were George Bauer and his mother. Mrs. A. Schwartz. The collision frightened Bauer's horse, which swerved suddenly to the right and sprang onto the sidewalk. This capsized the cart and threw Mrs. Schwartz to the pavement. The horse then dashed across the sidewalk and into Mr. Grant's store as related, dragging the framework and wheels of the cart. The box remained outside. Mrs. Schwartz sustained a contusion of the scalp. The central patrol wagon conveyed her to her home. No one else was injured beyond receiving a few bumps. The horses did not appear to be any the worse for the escapade, but both carts were smashed to pieces. SUED FOR $2,000000. Princess Louise's Creditors Will Try to Get Their Money. London, June 13. A special dispatch from Vienna says the creditors of Prin cess Louise, of Saxe-Coburg (wife of Prince Philip) who Is accused of forg ing the signature of Crown Princess Stephanie to the extent of $2,000,000, are bringing action against her in an at tempt to recover the money. The Vienna correspondent of the Lon don Daily Chronicle telegraphed to his paper on May 10, as follows: "Prin cess Louise of Saxe-Coburg was con veyed to a private asylum last night. The princess, who is a daughter of King Leopold of Belgium, has clandestinely passed the last few weeks with Lieut. Von Mattiche-Meglinch. her lover at his castle near Agram Croatia. In the meantime, her debts grew to millions of florins and bills bearing the alleged forged signature of the Archduchess Stephanie came into circulation." HID IN A TRUNK.

Catholic and heathen rites struggled for the ascen dency at the funeral of little Moy Fook Gum Hoy. It was an odd spectacle even in that quarter of quaint sights the part of Clark street which has been informally taken possession of by the children of Cathay and which corre sponds to the Chinatown" o other large cities. Moy Tong Hoy has been converted to the Romish faith. As the father of wee Fook Gum, he naturally had a deal to say concerning the disposal of the remains and the proper ceremonies to be observed, and he insisted that a priest officiate. But the friends and relatives of the dead lad who in their solemn, unen-. thuslastlc, oriental way, had been fond of him, while being obliged to bow to the parent's wishes touching the mat ter of the attendance of a holy man, had ideas of their own about what was fitting at the funeral of one brought up under the direction of the elder gods and now at the critical moment of his fate. So when the procession started out for Rose Hill cemetery the faithful fol lowers of the sitters in judgment of wood and stone took very good care to strew behind the hearse little per forated slips of paper. For did they not know that through these apertures the devils, attracted, perhaps, by the novelty of the performance, would have to pass before beginning their work on the soul of the dead? A man surely did not have to be wise to understand this much. For fear some of the evil spirits would grow weary of the sport and hasten to the cemetery before thread ing each of the thousands of curiously lettered squares, the wily mourners cunningly drummed on tom-toms. It is a well known fact that no properly brought up devil like3 the music of a tomtom. Those who had escaped the tissue traps scattered for them It was expected would beat a hasty retreat when they heard the funeral din. All morning the body of the boy lay in the Chinese temple at 323 Clark street, and while a priest was saying mass for the soul the cautious relatives were burning joss-sticks of a frightful odor but of wonderful potency in gain ing the favor of the gods who sit all day and all night at the gates of the terri tory of the dead and grow angry if they are not propitiated whenever a flame of life is newly snuffed out. Moy Long Hoy loved his little son, whose mother has crossed the China seas on a visit to her own folks. So he said nothing at the mixing of rit uals. In his blood flowed that of thou sands of believers In the deities that are as old as the world, and it may have occurred to him that there was a chance for his own people to be right in their faith after all. At any rate it was no harm to try both kinds. The boy was a good boy and there should be no drawbacks to his salvation from demons and dragons, he may have rea soned. At his son's birth a sheep had been killed, and this life thus taken was supposed to be a substitute for that of his first offspring until the latter grew up to manhood. Now that the heaven-born also had been taken it did seem as if there was something wrong with the ancient mythology. The Chinese love flowers, as they love everything that appeals strongly to the imagination. There was a plenty of blossoms on the, .small coffin and the father, although he refused to show his grief by cutting off his queue, wore garments of the richest material and of brilliant dye. At the grave a painstaking watcher slipped a coin with a square hole In Its middle into the casket. He was not going to embarrass the dead by send ing it across the oriental Styx without fare for the grim ferryman. Then the Catholic father did his part, the wailing cortege started back to the city and the funeral was ended. POPULISTS ALARMED. Chairman Washburn Says the Party is in Danger. Boston, June 13. George F. Wash burn chairman of the national execu tive committee of the Populist party, has sent a letter to other committee men calling attention to the "determin ed contest between the 'fusionists' and 'loaders' for ascendency.

THE WHENTHE roiLouLVLo BODIES HAVE SCALES. Two Cincinnati ChildrenSuffering from Ichthyosis. Cincinnati, June 13. The city hospital contains two patients, Agnes and Ella Fitzpatrick, aged 8 and 5 years, suffer ing from ichthyosis, a rare diseaase Ichthyosis Is a term derived from the Greek, which translated means fish scale disease, and is .not a misnomer, for no other term would express the characteristics of the peculiar affliction as well. Its victims are scaled like fish, beginning sometimes at the feet, involving the whole body and head, with the exception of the feet. It is incurable and nothing can be done for its victims except to ameliorate their condition with frequent hot baths and soothing lotions rubbed into the skin to render it less hard and prevent cracking at the joints. They are both bright little girls. Their faces show none of the marks of the insidious disease, which thus far in its ascending progress has only reached the chest. Every inch of space below this point, however. Is marked in spots with inflammations and with tiny scales, as though nature in a freakish mood was attempting to develop two pretty little girls into mermaids, an illustration which is heightened by the fact that the skin has a shagreen look. They suf fer no marked inconvenience as yet, ex cept when the shedding Incidental to this condition begins. Then the scales fall off, leaving in certain places the sores referred to. Itching will then al so supervene and occasion some dis tress. Another curious feature of the disease is that a cold climate will ag gravate it from the fact that the pa tients, who are usually thin, are sensi tive to cold, the skin being irritable and tender. It is the rarity of this disease and the fact that the daily press until recently did not go into scientific details of ab normal and unique afflictions that en abled speculative showmen to reap a harvest in exhibiting such unfortu nates to a morbid public, an instance of this character occurring several years ago, when at a local museum two little colored girls were exhibited as the Georgia Mermaids. Not many years ago an ichthyosis patient was also ex hibited in London as "the porcupine man," the scales in that case being more pronounced and horny in appear ance. The disease is also known by the synonymous titles of "porcupine," "hedge hog." "rhinoceros" and "alliga tor skin" disease. DEATH AT A PARTY. Lamp Overturned, Fatally Burns a Young Woman. 1 Opelika, Ala,, June 13. At the resi dence of Walter Cullers, a prominent citizen, a lamp was overturned in one of the rooms in which were a large number of guests attending an evening sociable. The lamp exploded, and the burning oil ignited the dress of Miss Sallie Wimberly. A half dozen persons attempted to extinguish the flames about -Miss Wimberly, and were them selves enveloped. Several were se riously burned. Miss Wimberly, frant ic from pain and fright, managed to es cape from her rescuers, and running out on the lawn, fell to the ground dead. Her body was literally burned to a crisp. FOR EX-CONFEDERATES. Gen. Blackburn Wishes to Raise a Reg iment in Kentucky. Atlanta, Ga., June 13. Benjamin M.

AFTER MANY YEARS. Gen. Butler's Confederate Field Glasses Returned to Him. Washington, June 13. When Maj. Gen. M. C. Butler returned from South Carolina he found a neatly arranged express package. When this was opened a pair of field glasses was found. Accompanying them was a note from a Mrs. Kemper of Virginia, say ing that she had come Into possession of them after the severe wounding of General Butler. From this wound the general lost a leg. General Butler In stantly recognized the glasses as hav ing belonged to him when he was a confederate officer. Swinging them across his shoulder, he said: "Well, this is something to think about. The last time I wore these I was a confederate officer. Now I am a Yankee." The last word was used with pride. The New York Camp of Sons of the American Revolution has decided to present General Butler with a splendid horse and trappings. At the same time the camp will present Major Gen eral 'Fred Grant with a beautiful sword, John C.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJTNAIi, MONDAY EVENTS'G, JUNE, 13, 1898. GET INSPECTED. The 20th Kansas is Now Fnlly Uniformed and Equipped And is Looked Orer Among Others by Gen. Morritt. MAKE A FIXE SHOWING Incidents and Gossip of Camp Richmond. Letter From Chickamauga Park About Kansas Boys. (From the State Journal's Special Cor respondent.) San Francisco, June 8. At early dawn today every officer and private was up and stirring in Camp Richmond. It was general inspection day and the whole of the Kansas regiment was drawn upon the immense plateau of the Presidio. The air had almost the breath of winter and along the hillside hung a dark heavy fog. But the grey mists were not thick enough to hide the red, white and blue of the standard, the glisten, the highly polished rifle bar rels and the swarthy faces above the new uniforms. The band, too, was out, and the drums thundered gaily and the clear full music echoed on the wind with a martial ring. Every man had out his gun, blanket, dining utensils and a heavy load it made but the men bore the two miles march out and back and two hours in spection with splendid fortitude. Not a volunteer faltered. General Hughes of General Merritt's staff acted as inspecting oiTicer, and his work was thorough and efficient. For instance. Chaplain Schleimann appeared without side arms that is ha wore no sword. He received a gentle reprimand. The chaplain speaking of the matter afterwards remarked that his calling was one of peace rather than strife he thought, but if the regula tions demanded it he would shorten his clerical coat and don a sword. Col. Little was highly complimented upon the appearance and work of the regi ment by General Hughes. Kansas did herself proud, and is no longer being poked fun at and dubbed the "Ragged Regiment." In response to a telegram from Gov ernor Leedy Col. Little called on Gen eral Merritt last evening and tendered the services of Brigadier General J. K. Hudson to serve with him on the Ma nila campaign. General Merritt replied that he would have been more than pleased to have General Hudson slated with him but that his staff was entirely filled out. Major Whitman took out a battalion on the hill today and gave them a drill in erecting the new dog tents. It made a pretty showing from the camp. Some complaint is being made by the men that the cloth comprising the new uniforms is of a very inferior quality and in some instances has already be gan to unravel. It would seem as if some roguish contractor had swindled the government. But Uncle Sam, it seems, had to buy everything available that was blue. In fact the trousers of the men are more of a greenish hue than the regulation blue. One of the boys in Company E took a straw poll of the men politically and found about 45 Republicans and 33 Democrats and Populists. A poll of Captain Orwig's company shows a far larger per cent of Populists enlisted than Republicans and Demo crats. It is quite a fad for Frisco girls to have kodak pictures of themselves in camp. I noticed three pretty girls posing today before a tent in Campany B's row. -4 Captain Fred Buchan sprung a sur prise on his fellow officers today by in troducing a genuine Jap cook to prepare regimental meals. He will be paid $20 a month. The rest of the officers en joyed a laugh at Captain Buchan's ex pense when the Jap's letter of recom mendation proved to be genuine Jap anese literature. The official recruiting party which left this morning will also pick up three ad ditional men for Gormly's band while in Kansas. This will complete the band and make it a crack organization. Two man enlisted today to fill out va cancies who have for several years served In the regular Hawaiian army, Time to Act. WHEN- THE BODY IS NOT AT ITS BEST LOOK TO THE KIDNEYS, The Discovery of J ohn Morrow Has Placed the Means of Re storing Health, in Every body's Power. When the human body is entirely free from pain and the nerves are strong and the senses keen, when severe mus cular exertion is a joy and the Individ ual labors hopefully to achieve the success in life that ambition urses him toward then is certain that the kid neys are working properly and health fully and the whole body feels the good results. When the reverse of these conditions exist it is time to give careful attention to the health. The kidneys are like a key-stone In an arch. Their function is to keep ail parts of the body in the harmony of good health. Bat when the kidneys get out of order every part suffers. First, usuaily, there is pain in the small of the back. Headaches, nervousness and pain in urinating follow, and the sys tem is all run down. To check kidney disease in these ear liest stages or to cure cases of many years standing, there is nothing better known to the medical world than Mor row's Kidneoids. The remedy discov ered by John Morrow, the great Amer ican chemist, is put up in little yellow tablets, which, despite their small size, have great power over the kidneys. A grateful letter from a well known grocer of Springfield. Ohio. Mr. F. A. Lewis, tells how the Kldneoids act- Mr. Lewis writes: "I have taken two boxes of Morrow's Kidneoids and have been wonderfully benefitted. From the burning sensa tion and the retention of urine. I was positive that I was suffering from kid ney trouble. I had taken many reme dies without success, and finally decid ed to try Morrow's Kidneoids. The ef fect was almost instantaneous, and I am thankful that I was able to discov er such a cure. To those wishing re lief I can recommend this remedy." Morrow's Kidneoids are now on sale generally. If not to be had of your dealer, they will be sent postpaid upon receipt of 50 cents per box. or six boxes for S2.30, by the Herb Medicine Co., Spring-field, Ohio. being1 stationed in the palace under Queen Lil. One was born in Ireland, the other in Austria, but both are now loyal citizens of the United States as they were before enlistment, each hav ing discharges from the regular TJ. S. army. A new order was issued today allow ing the men freedom over the lines from 11 to 1 o'clock and 4 to 7. The men have been drilling hard and faithfullv and this order comes in the nature of a reward. Captain Watson is again out after a severe tussel with the measles. An enterprinsing telegraph company has erected a station just outside of the camp limits. E. W. ELLIS. AT UEICKASIATJGA PAEK. Chaplain Woodward "Writes of the Situation of the Twenty-First. (From the State Journal's Special Cor respondent.) Chickamauga Park. Ga.June 10. The Twenty-first Kansas regiment could scarcely have selected a better location V. hen we halted at this point three weeks ago, the outlook was quite unin viting. Dry leaves, rank weeds.and de cayed branches were soon cleared away however and as time passes we are get ting to feel more and more at home. Our Kansas friends need not suppose that the time drags heavily on our hands. Everybody ha3 something to do. We have no drones in our hive. When the boys have nothing else to do they come up to the chaplain's tent to inquire for a letter. We all like to get letters. Why don't the people back in Kansas write of tenet? Perhaps you do write every other day, but we would like to have a letter every day. Write big, fat letters, and write one every day. Private George C. Gregory. Com pany M, has been selected as the mail carrier. He sent back to MePherson after being assigned to this work, and had his bicycle sent to him. Twice a 'lay he goes to Lytle with hundreds of letters in the mail sack on his back, and returns with a much larger load than he carried away. How the boys watch for the bicycle rider's return. Hardly are the pigeon holes filled with, precious missives till they are emptied into eager hands. Many county pa pers are received by the boys in certain companies every week. We are glad to get them. If every editor would send a bundle to the boys who enlisted from his town, he could confer a great favor on them. Our home papers get to look like old friends to us away off down here. With few exceptions the boys are dis posed to become a little sentimental as they wander over these historic grounds. Here almost 35 years ago the old soldier boys were engaged in a deadly conflict amidst flying bullets, bursting bombs and dying shrieks. The blue fought against the grey then, but a few days ago a regiment from South Carolina camped not far from tha Twenty-first Kansas. We are constant ly on the alert for relics. Minie balls are in greatest evidence. Everybody wants to find one with his own eyes and pick it up with his own hands. A week or more ago a second lieutenant dis covered a dead pine tree whose trunk for many feet from the ground was perforated with small holes. He had made quite a find. Securing an ax from Quartermaster J. C. Lyttle he began to lay heavy blows on the big tree. But what was his digust when after a hard half hours chopping he discovered that a huge worm rather than a minie ball was responsible for the big hole. Major W. L. Brown visited Lookout mountain a few days ago, and brought back with him as a relic of the place where the "battle above the clouds" was fought a small mallet with a min'e ball imbedded in ft made from a tree into which the ball had been shot. He will use the mallet in presiding over the Odd Fellows Grand Lodge next Octo ber, as he is the grand master. Mahomet may not be able to bring the mountain to him, but he can go to the mountains. The order is reversed here. Musical entertainments are brought near our tent doors sometimes. The colored people are natural musi cians. The other day a black boy played an alto accom paniment on a lard can. He accom plished astonishing results by splitting his voice on the edge of the can the interior of which served as a sounding medium. The National Toung Men's Christian association has been putting up tents in several camps, but we have not had our turn yet. Drum Major F. L. Hux tabl, who enlisted with the band, pro poses to furnish us with one himself unless other arrangements are made. We hold our religious services Out un der the trees. Sunday school comes at 10 o'clock, preaching at 11. and Y. M. C. A. in the late afternoon just before dark. We organized our Toung Men's Christian association, Sunday, June 5, with Lieutenant E. E. Beard, president; Private A. Galloway, vice president; Lieutenant J. L. Magu. corresponding secretary: Corporal J. T. Stone, office secretary; W. H. McDaniel, treasurer. Last Wednesday evening Rev. Dr. R. A. Torry, pastor Moody's church, Chi cago, preached for us. He was assisted by the singing evangelist, Harry L. Maxwell. As far as we are able to learn we have less serious sickness in our camp than in any other in our section of the park. Measles, cramps, bad colds and so forth keep our hospital filled up but onlv a few have been seriously ill. Xo deaths have occurred as yet, although four or five of our boys have been very near the cold river. We attribute our general good health to the fact that no liquor canteen has been established in our reeiment. The Chattanooga Red Cross society has been particularly kind to us. The other day the writer was at the hospital examining the cots, blank ets, mattresses, night shirts, etc., donated by these ladies, when Assistant Surgeon F. W. Turner said: "Chaplain, do vou know how these came to be sent"?" "Xo," said I. "Don't the ladies treat all the regiments alike?" "No,'" he replied. "They favor us especially because we have no liquor sold on the grounds, and hence have no hospital revenue coming from that source." W. E. WOODWARD. Chaplain Twenty-first Kansas. STOPS A ROW.

The fight on the premium stamp scheme will be made the subject for a meeting of the Merchants' Federation this evening. Abe Steinberg, who Is one of the mer chants who wants to see the stamp scheme knocked out said today: "It is a steal. I have talked to nearly all the merchants who use stamps and almost without exception they want to see it done away with. One or two or tne smaller dealers told me that they gave all their profits to the stamp men. It is not only an outrage on the mer chants but on the customers as well. A woman wiil save up until she has $20 worth of stamps and then she will get a little thing worth from 50 to 75 cents. "I have been told that the stamp peo ple send from $400 to $500 a month out of Topeka. Every cent of that comes out of the merchants and I think it is time that something should be done." The ordinance placing a heavy tax upon the business is pending in the city council. Councilman Roundtree, who is chairman of the committee on lincen ses, says that he has interview ed many merchants and nearly all are opposed to the stamp business, even those who use them. FOR MR.

Jerry Simpson Resents Insinuations of New Yorker3 Volunteers' Pranks. Capt. Jack Farrell of the Twenty second Kansas, writing to one of his friends in Parsons says: "The only Jerry Simpson came down Sunday and ate a soldier's dinner with the Twenty-second. With all Jerry's faults he has one virtue that commends him to us Coyotes. He is a thorough and aggressive Kansan. As he came to our camp, he met a big sergeant of a New York regiment, that is camped be tween us and town, and inquired where the Twenty-second Kansas was camped: 'Over yonder about a mile,' answered the eastener, and added. I hope they will stay there.' 'What's the matter with you?' said Jerry, blustering up: 'Take your regiment and go over and get them to teach you how to fight," said the congressman." GETTMAN'S PLUCK. Caught on a Barb Wire Fence While Stopping a Home Run. When Gettman made his wonderful catch of Hoy's would-be home run at Washington Saturday, his arms were thrust between two strands of the barb ed wire that runs over the right field bleacher fence. This gave him prac tically no leeway. After he had caught the ball and held it secure he had to release with one hand the undershirt sleeve on the other arm, that had been caught by the barbs. So narrow was his escape from injury in making the catch, and so keen was his judgment in placing himself for it, that the barb, merely went through the light texture of the garment and did not reach the skin of the arm. It was one of the greatest catches in the history of the game for nerve, accuracy and judg ment. FULTON MILL SUSPENDS. Dull Business Permits Two Wealthy Citizens to Retire. Fulton. June 13. The Fulton Milling company, proprietors of the big flour milis at Fulton, has dissolved and the opera tion of the mill under the present owner ship has been permanently suspended. The mill is offered for sale. The company has consisted of S. B. De Lano and Mrs. Taylor, both of Fulton. Their business partnership was for a term of vears and expired a short time since. Of "late the business has not been profit able, though it has lost but little, it any. monev. The owners are both well-to-do and desire to retire from active business. They therefore decided to close the mill and offer it for sale. It is regarded by some mill men as fairly good property, operated as a miii for the local trade. THEY MEET WALES.

Exports of Farm Products Exceed Any Previous Year in Our History. Washington, June 13. The farmers of the United States are drawing upon other parts of the world for more mon ey in the fiscal year which ends with this month than in any preceding year in the history of the country. Even the high water mark of 1S92, when our ex ports of agricultural products amount ed to $799,328,232, will be surpassed by the record of the year which closes with this month. The preliminary reports of May ex portations which have reached the bu reau of statistics make it quite appar ent that the agricultural exports of the year will be considerably in excess of $800,000,000, the total for the year being likely to reach $835,000,000. Never be fore have the exports of agricultural products reached the $500,000,000 line, and never but twice have they been as much as $700,000,000, the two occasions in which they passed the $700,000,000 line being in 1SS1 and 1S92. Compared with the last fiscal year, the increase in exports of agricultural products will be fully $150,000,000, and compared with the preceding year the increase will be over $250,000,000, while the total will be fully 50 per cent in ex cess of that of the fiscal year 1S95. In breadstuffs alone the exports of the year, will amount to nearly $1,000,000 for each business day, and will be more than $100,000,000 in excess of last year's exports of breadstuffs. Nearly all ar ticles classed as breadstuffs have par ticipa.ted in this increase. Of wheat the value of the exports of the nscal year 1S9S will be more than double those of the fiscal year 1S97, while the increase in flour will be near ly 50 per cent and of corn nearly 50 per cent in value. May exports of corn were larger than those of any other month in the history of the country, while the total exports of corn for the year for the first time will pass the 200.000.000 bushel line, the total in only three preceding years having reached 100.000,000 bushels. Corn meal, oats and oatmeal and rye show a striking in crease, the gain in oatmeal being more than 60 per cent over last year and that of oats 100 per cent, while in rye the gain is also phenomenally large. In provisions, in which term are in cluded beef, hog and dairy products, there is also a marked increase, the to tal exports of provisions for the year being likely to reach $160,000,000 in val ue. Most of this increase, however, is in hog products. Exportations of ba con, which were $34,187,147 in value last year.being likely to reach $44,000,000 this year, and lard showing a similar in crease, being likely to reach $37,000,000 this year, or a gain of nearly $S,000,000. Live beef seems to be gaining in pop ularity with our foreign customers, the exports of beef cattle having increased materially, while those of beef, either fresh, canned or salted, have failed to show any increase, in most cases a de cided falling off being noticeable. The exports of beef cattle during the first ten months of the fiscal year were 37H.663 pounds, against 310.478 pounds in the corresponding months of last year, while fresh beef in the same period fell from 242.16S.034 pounds in ten months of 1397, to 227,434,373 pounds in the cor responding ten months of 1898. Salted beef shows a fall of 37 per cent for the year, and canned beef from 46.349,006 pounds in the ten months of 1897, to 34. 011.129 pounds in the ten months of 1S98. SANTA FE TO DES MOINES.

Mort Albangh's Claims Contest ed by Followers of Dave Mulvane. The selection of Mort Albaugh for temporary chairman of the Republican state central committee is taken to mean by most people that he will be the permanent chairman but Dave Mul vane and his friends do not think so and an effort is being made to have Mr. Mulvane elected when the state central committee meets to make the permanent organization. In the fight for the Shawnee county delegation the thing that was upper most in the mind of Mr. Dave Mulvane was the state chairmanship. His am bition to be at the head of that or ganization was the controlling factor in the fight. But John Seaton went down at the state convention and an obstacle was thrown in the way of Mr. Mulvane's ambition. If John Seaton had been nominated there would have been no question about the state chair manship. As soon as the nomination of Stan ley was made Mr. Mulvane's friends swarmed around him. Shawnee county had not Deen in at the death but that did not matter. Mr. Stanley was urged to recognize all factions. He was told that the best thing he could do would be to select Mr. Mulvane to be chair man of the committee and by so doing he would recognize an important mi nority in the convention. Mr. Stanley listened to the talk of Mr. Mulvane's friends and said: "It is my wish that Mr. Albaugh be chairman but if he should not want the place I would have no objection to Mr. Mulvane.' Then the Mulvane workers sought Mr. Albaugh. The same argument was used upon him. He hesitated and ask ed for time to consult his friends. Af ter he had consulted his friends and among them Mr. Stanley he announced that he would not gel out of the way "now." This was taken to mean that he intended to take the position and Mr. Mulvane's friends were in con sternation. Since then they have been working on the other nominees on the ticket trying to influence them to insist upon the selection of Dave Mulvane in place of Mort Albaugh. J. R. Burton is one of the most active workers on Mr. Mul vane's interest and he has left nothing undone which would help his lieutenant in Shawnee county to gratify his ambi tion. RUNS AGROUND.

A Brother of John Haisch of Topeka, Loses Sis Life at Limon, CoL George Haisch, a brother of John Haisch, the ex-patrolman, and Joseph and Charles Haisch of this city, was killed in the Rock Island yards at Li mon, Col., Saturday evening. Haisch formerly lived in this city, and his re mains were brought here this morning. The funeral will be held from the res idence of his brother in North To peka. Haisch was employed as a bridge car penter by the Rock Island company.and Saturday was working on a bridge a few miles east of Limon. With seven other workmen he went into Limon on a handcar Saturday evening and while the car was being propelled through the railroad yards it was struck by a switch engine and thrown from the track. Haisch was thrown with his leg3 across one of the rails, and before he could get to his feet the switch engine ran over him. Both legs were horribly crushed, and he died shortly after the accident. Haisch was the only one of the eight men injured in the accident. SLEPT ON THE TRACK. Men Select a Fatal Place For Their Slumbers and One Is Killed. Xn unknown man, supposed to be a tramp, was killed by Rock Island west bound freight train No. 95, nine miles west of Topeka, shortly after 4 o'clock Sunday morning. Joe Patterson, a Rock Island track watchman whose home is in Willard, was struck by the same train and seriously injured. Both men had fallen asleep side by side while sitting on the ties at one side of the track. The body of the unknown man is at the undertaking establishment of De Moss Penwell being held for identi fication. Patterson is at the Santa Fe hospital. The engineer of the freight train saw the men as the pilot of his engine struck them, but as he had or ders to meet the east bound passenger train No. 4 at Willard, he did not stop and went into Willard where he told the men of the passenger train of the accident. The two men were picked up by the conductor and brakemen of the passenger train and brought into To peka. Patterson knows nothing about the man who fell asleep with him and was killed. He met him walking along the track, and engaged in conversation with him. The man appeared to be fairly well educated, and the watchman sat down with him at one side of the track and started to discuss the war. "This war is getting to be a fizzle," said the unknown man after the con versation haa progressed for several minutes. "That's the way it strikes me," said Patterson. "The way they're doing things makes me tired," remarked the unknown. "I'm with you there," chimed in Pat terson. That was the last that was said. The two men proved that they were tired by falling back on the track asleep. The supposed tramp never opened his eyes again, and Patterson was uncon scious for several hours after being taken to the hospital in this city. The pilot of the engine struck the unknown man first, and he was prob ably the means of saving the watch man's life. Both men were struck on the head and hurled several feet to one side of the track. The tramp's skull was crushed and his body badly bruised, but no other bones were ON A $2,000,000 FACE. broken. Patterson's injuries consist of scalp wounds and numerous bruises about the body. He will recover. There was nothing on the person of the unknown man that would give the slightest clue to his identity. A SMELTER EXPLODES. Eleven Men Injured and the Plant Wrecked. Men a. Ark., June 13.

That mosquito fleet will soon be re quired along the New Jersey coast. At last it has fallen to the lot of the president to start the mints as well as the mills. Spain seems to be impressed with the belief that it is proper for the victor to say 'enough." The collier which Senator Quay sank In John Wanamaker's channel has cot yet been removed. There are so many Spanish islands lying; around loose that Uncle Sam faardly knows which to take first. The deposit of the Merrimac in the vermiform appendix of Santiago har bor has proved too much for the local physicians. Agninaldo is developing: into a good running mate for Dewey. How about Dewey and Aguinaldo in 1900 on a non partizan ticket? Washington Post: Senator Sullivan Is open to a charge of repeating. He voted for the war revenue bill In the bouse and senate. It is strange that a famine should be predicted in this year of apparent plenty, but a great scarcity of freight cars Is anticipated. The belief of Spanish officials that Spain can maintain the war in Cuba two years yet can not be said to be wholly without reason. Promoter Hooley of London seems to have got along all right until he under took to float a Spanish loan. Then everybody lost confidence In him. The declaration of dermatologists that the women of the next generation will be bald headed is likely to cause an exodus to the Klondike on the part of both sexes. Senator Quay has just named the Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania and is now looking about for a suitable man to head the Demo cratic ticket. The Spanish warships seen off Fortress Monroe probably are the same that entered Havana harbor earlier in the week. Regular "Will-o'-the-wisps, these Spanish warships. Since the last Republican convention In Pennsylvania it is being suggested that the state is about to become one of the much talked of vest pocket boroughs, Mr. Quay wearing the vest. An exchange remarks that the south Is carrying off its full share of the honors of the war. It is; but what the eouth complains of Is that it is not carrying off its full share of the of fices. The Oregon seems to be getting her full share of glory. After making her remarkable trip around the Horn she has officiated at the first permanent landing of United States forces on Cu ban soil. GLOBE SIGHTS. (From the Atchison .Globe.) Rob with a velvet hand" instead of a pistol. If you want to get away with it. Why do women wear bosom dlstenders? The men know all about the fraud. A sober man hates a. drunkard. Men who occasionally "get full" should remember this and keep out of sight. There will be so few men In heaven that there will not be sufficient inducement for women to keep their hair curled. I when a man and wife get on a train and both, look unusually solemn, it Indi cates that he is taking her away to have an operation performed. i Tf a girl reaches eighteen, and there Is Ho lover in sight, she will keep on going to school until she is thirty, if her parents can afford to Bend her. An Atchison man says that there is no pleasure in taking a woman driving who bas ever driven a horse herself. She makes suggestions to what he should do every time they come to a stump In the road. CHICAGO NEWS PROVERBS. It's easy for the man who has no credit to keep out of debt. i Every dog has his dav but ths cat has a monopoly on the nights. The turtle may be slow, but ha usually Kets there in time for the soup. I A woman seldom cares anything about the answers to Questions she asks. The man who seeks damages In court Is sure to get what he is looking for. Nothing makes a woman so mad as hav ing something to say and no one to listen. Taking time by the forelock causes lots Of worry about things that never happen. About two-thirds of the credit a man gets for doing things rightly belonra to others.

Governor "Wolcott of Massachusetts Is the first governor in the United States to commission negroes as officers in the army. "Boss" Shepherd. whose vast expenditure of public money in Washington got him Into trouble years ago. has lived in Mex ico ever since leaving the national capital. He has received from the Mexican gov ernment concessions which will probably be worth millions when fully realized. At present they are in abeyance pending the war. Among governors of states Plngree of Michigan has offered to buy shoes for a regiment out of his own pocket; Powers of Maine paid the state bounty $7.000 of the Maine volunteers; Tyler of Virginia will be responsible for his order for shoes for all his troops, and Adams of Colorado has offered to advance all the money need ed to equip Colorado troops, but several citizens are insisting on sharing this honor with him. The Prince of Wales, who Is very punc tilious in small matters as well as in great, never fails to resent any oddity In costume in men who are invited to meet him in societv. Recently at a dinner given at a certain duke's, an acquaintance of the prince sat down to table wearing a broad black tie. During one of the courses a butler handed a silver salver to the de linquent with "the prince's compliments." t'pon the salver was a regulation white tie. Rear Admiral Dewey will have cause to be proud of the sword that is to be pre sented to him as a testimonial of his bravery and skill as a naval commander, for it will be one of the finest weapons ever made. Already the artistic ingenu ity of the best swordmakers and jewelers of the country has been excited and the navy department has already more than fifty designs for the "Dewey sword." They are marked by great beauty of de sign, some of the blades being wrought with figures emblematic of the famous battle in Manila bay. while the hilt and scabbard of steel, gold and silver are studded with jewels and highly wrought marine emblems, such as Jeptunes, dol phins, mermaids, capstans, -ichors, etc No selection his yet been made. r John Sherman is said to have improved wonderfully in health since his retirement from the cabinet. Cecil Rhodes takes a keen and practical interest in natural history.

BOYLE "WILL HARVEST. Decides State Owns a Wheat Field and Orders It Cut. Attorney General Boyle has decided that the state of Kansas is the owner of a wheat crop in Gove county. The crop will be harvested and after the ex penses are paid the money that Is left will be turned into the state treasury for trie benefit of the school fund. The matter was brought up by a let ter received by State Superintendent Stryker from County Superintendent W. C. Kreisr of Gove county. He said that a quarter section of school land which had been occupied by a man named Haworth had been abandoned and that a good crop of volunteer wheat had developed on the land. He said that a man was trying to claim the crop and be asked what should be done. Superintendent Stryker referred the matter to Attorney General Boyle who has given an opinion in which he holds that the crop of wheat is the property of the state and Superintendent Stryker has directed Superintendent Kreig to harvest the crop for the benefit o the state school fund. CAMERA AS A PROXY. Flash Light Photograph of Weddings the Latest New Tork, June 13. A camera serv ed as a rather unique and unusual proxy for the bride's parents at the wedding of Miss Violet Russell Bond of Plainneld. N. J., to the Rev. P. B. Kennedy of Asbury, N. J., at the home of the bride's grandfather, Theophilus Bond of East Front street. Mr. and Mrs. Bond are missionaries in Turkey, and were unable to be pres ent at the wedding of their daughter, but in order that they might not be deprived of a view of the wedding par ty a llashlinght photograph of the group was taken by Harry Coward im mediately after the Rev. C. H. Harring had pronuonced them husband and wife. The photograph will be developed to day, and, together with several other mementos of the nuptial event, will be forwarded to Mr. and Mrs.Bond at their far-off eastern post. DEWEY CADETS. A Company of Boys to Be Organized In Topeka. There is a movement on foot to organize a company of cadets in Topeka to be known as the "Dewey Cadets." The mem bership of the company will be limited to 50. and only boys from 12 to 16 years of age will be admitted. It Is proposed to uniform the boys the same as United States regular soldiers and instruct them in military tactics and camp usages. A feature of the company will be a thoroughly equipped bugle corps of ten members. A call for enlistment will soon be made, and Mr. Will Eberle will probably taka charge of the company.

Two of New Tork's well known club women have been stricken almost simultaneously. On Tuesday, May 24, Mrs. William Jen nings Demorest was suddenly prostra ted at her home at the Hotel Renais sance by a stroke of paralysis. On Thursday last her almost life-long friend, Mrs. J. C. Croly, so long known to readers as "Jennie June," fell while shopping in a Twenty-third street de partment store, and broke her hip. She was removed to her home at the Chel sea, where she is now lying in a critical condition. The intimacy of the two women, their close connection in club life and liter ary work make their double affliction the more pathetic. For years, while Mme. Demorest was the owner of Dem orest's Magazine and writing the fash ion articles, which became known throughout the country, "Jennie June" Croly was its editor. Mrs. Croly is the mother of women's clubs In America. It was she who founded Sorosis, the pioneer, 30 odd years ago. In it she holds the position of honorary president for life. And among the Sorosis charter members was Mme. Demorest, now one of the vice presidents. "Jennie June's" misfortune came at a most inopportune time. For a year and a half she has labored over her book on "The History of Women's clubs." Last summer she gave up all thought of vacation and patiently plodded through the hot months at the pages she has put together so carefully and so lovingly. The book is Just from the press, and Mrs. Croly had planned to produce it in Denver, when the Nation al Federation of Women's clubs, whose honorary vice president she is, assem bles there on June 20. The saddest tears she has shed since her accident came at the thought of losing this proud pleasure. Mrs. William Tod Helmuth, president of the State Federation and candidate for election to the national presidency, will serve as Mrs. Croly's representa tive on this occasion and will bear not only her literary monument, but her greeting to her club daughters from her bed of pain. Mrs. Croly was one of the pioneer newspaper women of this country, and is the president of the New York Wom an's Press club. She is 69 years old. Mme.Demorest, like her late husband. William Jennings Demorest, has been one of the strongest advocates of the temperance cause. She was closely as sociated with Frances Willard.who was her companion and friend as well as teacher. Mme. Demorest is the presi dent of the New York Carnegie Union, W. C. T. IT. This is the third blow the temperance organization has had within three months. Miss Wiilard's death was short ly followed by that of Mrs. Mary Towne Burt, state president W. C. T. U., and Mme. Demorest's Illness re moves another of the foremost women from active work. At the Renaissance last night her condition was said to be much improved. For some days after the shock she was unable to move or to recognize by word or sign any of those at her bedside. Both women have had ample evidence of their popularity with fellow club members in the constant inquiries and tender care and thought that have socahed their affliction. HAIL31ANN IS OUT. Estelle Keel Becomes Superintendent of Indian Schools. Washington, June 13. In the midst of the war flurry little public attention has been attracted to a change just made in the Indian service. The ap pointment of Miss Kstelle Reel to be superintendent of Indian schools not only puts this office for the first time into feminine hands, but displaces Dr. W. N. Hailmann, the most valuable man who ever filled it. He is a model educator as well as a man and a citi zen of the highest character. His ene mies included Capt. R. H. Pratt of Carlisle and a host of political time servers, who have not hesitated at any device by which they might hope to crowd him out. To them the secretary of the interior and the president have lent willing ears, instead of listening to the disinterested friends of Indian edu cation. To Miss Reel's credit. It should be said that she has steadily declared her admiration of Dr. Hailmann and his work, and her unwillingness to be con sidered a candidate so long as he re mained at his post. It was only In view of the fact that a change was to be made anyway that she was willing to apply for the appointment. Person ally she has made an excellent impres sion wherever she has appeared, and her record as superintendent of public instruction in Wyoming is said to be very good. The great regret expressed everywhere is that her appointment should have come as the result of the machinations of those who have suc ceeded in making a cat's paw of the administration of the interior depart ment. OFF TO GREENLAND. Naval Cadets Will Study Life of Esqui maux. Washington.June 13. The school ship St. Mary's, stationed at New York, will make an unusual cruise thi3 year, car rying the boys to Greenland and within the arctic circle, in order to give them an Insight into the life of the Esqui maux and the geography of their coun try. Lieut. Howard Patterson is in command of the vessel, and there are now about 73 boys on the ship under going a course of instruction In navi gation and seamanship. For over 20 years past it has been the custom for the school ship to make an annual visit to the Mediterranean, but, in view of the war, it was thought best to select another destination for this year's cruise. It is expected that the vessel will start on her trip to the frozen north this afternoon or tomor row. WILL FUSE UTTERLY. J. B. Chapman Says Democrats Will Endorse Whole Populist Ticket. Joseph B. Chapman, once editor of the Topeka Press and now county at torney of Franklin county, was in To peka Saturday afternoon. In discussing politics from a Demo cratic standpoint he said: "I believe the Democratic convention at Atchison will nominate the entire Populist ticket. There has never been a time when there was so little dissatisfaction as there is now and there is no reason why the en tire ticket should not be endorsed. "The Democrats will be given the place of lieutenant governor and I think that we should nominate some big man for that place. It should be some one who will add strength to the ticket. I wish that Overmyer would consent to take the place. He would add more to the ticket than any one I know."

Governor Leedy Appoints Special Committee To Investigate Collections by Wichita Police Commissioners. NO REPORTS ARE MADE Murderous Jointist Assaults a McCune Editor. Harrey County Horses Afflict ed With Glanders. Wichitia, June 13. W. R. Dulaney, H. J. Hagny, and Frank Nlghswonger acting under authority from Governor Leedy are examining the record of col lections made by the police commission ers. This Investigation was caused by the failure of the police board to turn over any money to the city. During the first few months the board turned over large sums every months, but in a short time they stopped these payments and have turned over no money since last September. There has been an in crease in the collections and the people want the money accounted for even if they have to do without the luxury of a police board. This is believed to be the first move in the direction of a new board. WANT KANSAS SINGERS. Omaha Exposition Invites Hutchin son Chorus to Occupy One Evening. Hutchinson, June 13. The Hutchinson choruses have received an invitation to sing at the Omaha exposition among a number of musical organizations of the country. Mr. Hoagland has received a letter from Willard Kimball, the music manager, inviting both the male chorus and the chorus which rendered the Holy City at the first jubilee concert this year to select any date they would like to sing. Choruses of high reputation from Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake and other large cities will appear on the musical program at Omaha, and the in vitation received here proves that Hutchinson is getting a widespread reputation as a musical center. Mr. Hoagland believes that a magni ficent chorus could be taken from this city to Omaha. If even fifty singers would go from here Mr. Hoagland thinks that more than that number would join the chorus from other parts of the state. Topeka, Ottawa, Emporia, Wichita, Lyons, Lindsborg and many other cities would probably add a few excellent singers, and Kansas would be well represented. Mr. Kimball in his invitation sug gests that the Hutchinson singers ren der the Holy City as a complete even ing's program. The matter of attend ing the Omaha exposition will be talked over among the musicians and it will all rest with their desires whether Hutchinson is represented or not. TREES ELOWN DOWN. Waterspout Deluges Pittsburg Doing Considerable Damage. Pittsburg, June 13. A waterspout struck Pittsburg Saturday afternoon, a deluge of rain falling. It was accompanied by a very high wind coming from ugly looking black clouds in the southwest. The streets were for a short time converted into streams, while the streams In the vi cinity were swollen bank full. Many citizens sought refuge in their cellars, fearing a cyclone. The storm lasted over an hour. Trees were blown down in the south part of the city and in some places insecure buildings were unroofed o rtoppled over. LITIGATION ENDS. Burlington Waterworks Controversy Closed After Ten Years. Burlington, June 13. The case of A. S. Race against the city of Burlington was compromised and settled Wednes day by the payment to C. H. Race by the city of $300, each side paying its own costs. The suit was brought in Wood son county and the claim was for hy drant rental the first six months of 18S8 under the old waterworks contract, which was in some way not included in the assignment made by the Burlington Waterworks company, and was there fore not included when the final settle ment was made with N. W. Harris Co., by the city in March, 1897. With- umors Cuticura Works Wonders In Cleansing the Scalp and Re storing the Hair. I was suffering tortures from a diseased scalp. I was scratching my head from morn ing till night. Little pimples broke out all over my head. I had no rest. I got a cake of Cuticura SoiP and a box of CuncoaA (oint ment) I washed my head about once a week with hot water and Ccticura Soap, and then applied the Ccticcra. (ointment) as a dress ing. I only used one box of ointment and one cake of soap, to be cured. Now, ray head basn't a pimple on it, and my hair is growing splendidly. ADA C. IIARRELL, Feb. 21, 1898. 330 Grand Bt., Jersey City, N. J. I was troubled with dandruff so that it mads my hair fall out so bad, I pot discouraged. I purchased a box of Cutici" ka (ointment and a cake of Cuticura Soap. The former I rubbed well into the scalp twice a week, and then shampooed with warm water and a good lather of Cuticura Soap once a week. My hair is growing out thick once more, and free from terrible dandruff. Miss ADA JAYES, Feb. 20, 'U8. 82 Webster Ave., Chelsea, Mass. I had a bad scalp humor, and thought I would go frantic with Itching. I lost consid erable of my hair (of which 1 had an abun dance, and was very proud I tried several remedies but they failed.

There would have been lawyers and experts and chemists to pay at fancy prices, and bills of expense to and from places to meet, and all the high-priced incidents of a lawsuit of which our people got so "very tired during the long years the old original waterworks suit was pend ing. Under such circumstances the cheapest and best way was to pay up and get out of it, even if the claim were unjust, and the council acted wisely in compromising. As it is now all claims are paid and the city is rid of all law suits for the first time in over ten years. TAX ON JUDGMENTS. Wyandotte, Under New Law, Collects on Values of $2,600,000. Kansas City, June 13. Persons hold ing Judgments in Kansas will hereafter be compelled to pay taxes on them the same as if they were bonds or any other personal property. Assessor Darlington has Just completed the list of judgments held in Wyandotte coun ty, which amounts to about $2,600,000. The whole amount was assessed at $820,540, or about one fourth of the face value. Of the amount about $500, 000 has been placed since the assessor finished his work, and will probably be exempt from taxation. The largest judgment of the lot is held by H. C. Chapman against S. B. Baker, a Chicago lumber dealer, who formerly operated a yard in the city. This one is for $100,000, and was assessed at $25, 000. The matter of assessing the judg ments is rather complicated, as a num ber of persons put them in with the personal property lists. It is thought that about $20,000 was included in the personal property lists, and will have to be deducted from the total amount. A large number of the judgments are worthless and it is quite likely that the holders will register a vigorous protest when they are called upon to pay taxes on them, while others will simply can cel the debts. HORSES HAVE GLANDERS. Sanitary Commission Slakes Investi gation in Harvey County. Newton, June 13. Frank Weinshank, of Kingman, a member of the state live stock sanitary commission investigated reported cases of glanders among horses in this vicinity. He found five cases near Hesston. Three horses be longing to J. Y. Shelly were afflicted with the disease, as well as two belong ing to Joe Brenanman. Mr. Weinshank found that fourteen other horses be longing to these two men had been ex posed to the disease. Shelly and Bren anman have promised to kill the horses that have developed the glanders. The horses which were exposed to the dis ease have been quarantined and will be held until Dr. Fisher, the state veter inary examines them. Mr. Weinshank says that these are all the cases in the county and that there is no danger of the disease spreading. WHIPPING POST USED. Tramps Avoid Coffey villa as ,a Pest ilence. Coffeyville, June 13. Coffeyville has been a resort for tramps, thugs and bad characters in general for several weeks. Night Marshal Kime lost his life in trying to arrest one of these. Lately a white cap band has taken it in hand to assist the officers of the law. A few nights ago nine of these characters were put to the whipping post and thor oughly whipped and ordered to leave town, which they did. A few nights later seven more were treated likewise. Last night three colored men, Wm. Jackson of Joplin, Mo., Chas. Morris and Tobe Johnson of the territory, were taken and tied to a threshing machine on a vacant lot and whipped with blacksnake whips till they screamed and begged for mercy. They left town as soon as they were loosed. The officers and white caps or vigi lance committee seem determined to rid the town of all suspicious charac ters. PISTOL PLAYS A PART. Exciting Incidents in a Ft. Scott Clothing House Failure. Fort Scott, June 13. The large cloth ing store of J. Kodecker Co., who made an assignment here the other day, was surrendered to the assignee by Miss Pearl Cohen, daughter of one of the proprietors, after a sensational en counter between the officers who were In possession for her and Judge Biddle, attorney for the assignee. Biddle entered the store with pistol drawn and ejected one of the officers. The other constable met him with drawn pistol and compelled him to drop his gun. Then Biddle threw him forcibly into the street. The court de nied the assignee an injunction against Miss Cohen and advised him to pay her claim of $1,350, which he did. Miss Cohen had taken forcible pos session of the store. Against Bucket Shops. Winfield, June 13. The city council has passed an ordinance requiring the payment of an occupation tax of $100 per year for bucketshops. This will have the desired effect of driving these concerns out of town. RAILROADS LIABLE. Supreme Court Affirms the Linwood Wreck Cases. The supreme court has affirmed two of the Linwood wreck cases appealed from Clay county and held that both the Union Pacific and Rock Island com panies are liabble for damages. Both roads claimed that they were not responsible. The Union Pacific placed the blame on the Rock Island and the Rock Island blamed the Union Pacific. The lower court held that both companies are liable and that conten tion is sustained. This decision settles the famous con troversy. The railroads have been beaten at every turn. The wreck was caused by a Rock Island train running into the rear of a Union Pacific stock train. Jointists Guilty. There were two convictions Saturday in the district court in liquor cases. Ed Timon was charged with maintaining a nuisance at 822 North Kansas avenue. Bert Russell, who used to be a Topeka fireman, was charged with being the bartender there. The jury found Rus sell guilty of selling liquor, but failed to convict Timon. In the case or John Durkin, charged with keeping a joint at 614 North Kansas avenue, the jury returned a verdict of guilty. These prosecutions, were made by A.A. Adams and H. C. Gordonler, men who are In terested in the temperance movement, and law enforcement. The Only Line to Denver Via Pueblo and Colorado Springs the Santa Fe. Through Pullman sleepers and free chair cars.

Sergeant Tim Donovan and Patrolmen Rucker and Campbell yesterday captured two supposed burglars in the city park. They were both roughly dressed, George Lyons being short and stout and Elfonso Smith tall and slender. The police learned that two men were in the city park who were acting suspi ciously and who had a box with them. Sergeant Donovan started in pursuit. Ho was joined by the other officers. When the officers captured the two men they resisted arrest. The smaller man tried to draw a loaded revolver from his pocket, while the large man stood glower ing at the officers in a threatening man ner. "Hand over that box," demanded Ser geant Donovan. Smith responded by throwing the box into the air and it fell into the grass at the city park, where a large number of pocketknives fell out of it and were scat tered. Patrolman Campbell averted fur ther trouble by landing a well directed blow on Smith's head. The prisoners were then handcuffed and taken to the city prison. When searched 12 new razors were found on them, a new revolver and 115 pocketknives. A few moments after the arrest a telephone message was re ceived from Lawrence stating that a hardware store had been robbed there the night before and that a large number of knives, razors, etc., were taken. Sergeant Donovan informed them that the men were in jail and that the plunder naa been recovered. fc,nerirn ivioor nd Marshal Monroe of Lawrence arrived in Topeka at noon and left at 4 o clock with their prisoners handcuffed together. Both are desperate looking characters. They claimed that they uougnt the knives in Chicago. The goods were identified as having been taken from the hardware store in Lawrence. STEELE'S TRAMPS. Men With Brass Buttons Hun Them All Out on Sunday. Sunday was an unlucky day for the tramps in and near Topeka. Chief Steele's men with the- brass buttons swooped down on gangs of tramps in the railroad yards at the city limits and gathered them in. They marched them in like a provost guard gathers stragglers in at nijrht. When the registering had been done at police station it was found that there were just 37 "knights of the road" in custody. Every one claimed to be single and that he was going into the western counties to harvest. iJetective Capron says that there wasn't one of them but would have fainted at the sight of hard work. Many were genuine wandering tramps, roughly dressed, red faces, alcohol eyes, etc. Chief Steele decided that he didn't want to have such a number at his guest ta ble, as the expense for the!r food would amount to $11 a day. So he ordered the officers to escort the gang of tramps out of the city. Chief Steele made an address before them, warning them of the wrath to come if they tarried in the city. At the conclusion of the chief's remarks the tramps were taken outside the jail and formed in line. Police officers were on both sides of the line, in front and be hind. The order was given to march and the band of "Weary Willies" moved north on Jackson street. The column moved north to the Rork Island railroad and turned west. When a point half a mile west of the city limits was reached the officers gave the order to "break ranks, and get out of here." THIRTY KILLED. By the Collapse of a Four Story Building. Cannes, June 13. A faur-story building at Blot, a village near here, collapsed to day. The full extent of the accident has not yet been ascertained, but it is esti mated that thirty persons have been killed. Troops were ordered to the scene and are now engaged in clearing up the. debris and recovering the bodies of the victims. A MAMMOTH BREWERY. One Costing $10,000,000 Projected at Milwaukee. Milwaukee, June 13. Word has been re ceived here from Lieutenant Lreher, son of Anton Dreher, the millionaire brewer of Austria, stating that it had been de cided to locate a $10.W0.00O branch of the Dreher brewery in Milwaukee. A party to locate a site here will arrive in this city before the end of the. month and will then close a deal for, the site. The site, it is said, will probably be located in the out skirts of the city, where land is cheap. Dreher is said to be the wealthiest brewer in the world, owning four great plants in Austria and Bohemia with an aggregate capital of $40.0o0.000 and an an nual output of l,3ot),000 barrels.

The "Old Han" Withdrew His Support And Joe Leiter Unloads 10, 000,000 Bushels Today. MUCH GOES TO ARMOUR Prices Went Tumbling in All Lines. The Banks Will Close Up the Leiter Deals. Chicago, June 13. All interest on the board of trade today centered in the do ing of Joseph Leiter and the result of his famous big deal in wheat. A tre mendous slump in prices was generally attributed to immense sales for him. According to one authority Mr. Leiter ordered all his trades closed out at the opening of the day's transactions in the wheat pit and it was stated that at least eight million bushels of wheat were liquidated for him in the Chicago market alone. The severest breaks in prices, however, were in the northwest, where it was said Leiter had his big lines. Cash wheat in Duluth went off 19 cents and in Minneapolis 17 cents. Half an hour before the close Leiter's sales in Chicago were placed as high as 10 million bushels. His brokers, Allen Grier, transferred June wheat to Armour and September, to Lamson Bros. It was reported that a movement was on foot among strong interests to take care of cash wheat and that a meeting was in session at which this matter was under consideration. Fifteen minutes before the closing bell rang on 'change the tickers had a report that Leiter cash wheat would be trusteed. It was said that the bankers who had made advances on it had agreed to take care of it. During the final movements of trad ing Joseph Leiter was at the Illinois Trust Savings bank in consultation with his father, L. Z. Leiter and others. Joseph Leiter said in reply to inquiries that he would make an assignment; that his options had been liquidated and that his cash wheat would be trusteed. Joseph Leiter admitted to friends that he had lost money. Excitement on the board ran high. Stories of financial trouble for the young man who engin eered one of the greatest wheat deals of the country gained circulation. How ever, little credence was given to this feverish gossip at first. Mr. Leiter was closeted with his father, L. Z. Leiter and when pressed to tell whether the slump in the cereal had affected his in terests frankly admitted that he had lost money. How much he would not say. He had not the time to go into details. Conferences were the order of the day. Leiter's wheat interests have been turned over to a board of trustees who will settle up the deal. This course was necessary on account of Mr. Leiter's in ability to put up margins which were called for. Joseph Leiter admitted that his father had withdrawn his sup port. TOPEKANS AT KLONDIKE. News Received From Some of Those Who are There. A letter has been received in this city from W. F. Hunter, one of the party of Topeka men who left for the Klondike territory three months ago. It was written on May 3, and the party was then at Morraine Glacier, a few miles south of Five Mile camp. Hunter states in his letter that during the few days previous to that date dozens of prospectors had passed the camp going back over the trail who had lost all their belongings in snow slides. On May 2 a party of 20 were caught In a snow slide a few nliles from the camp and two of the number smothered. None of the party was known to the Topeka men. At the time of writing Will Buck and Charles Boltinghouse, two of the To peka party, were snow blind. Hunter says that very little work can be done In the day time as the glare of the sun on the snow is so intense that the eyes are affected. Instead of working dur ing the day, all work is done by moon light. According to the letter the party ex pected to commence prospecting inside of ten days after the date of its writing. LOCAL MENTION. John Seaton. who made the race for the nomination of governor on the Re publican ticket, is not discouraged.

The battle ship Texas is coaling today, to be fol lowed by other ships. The squadrons of Rear Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley are still off Santiago, maintaining a strict watch day and night to prevent the possibility of the escape of Admiral Cervera. From men who have landed to take observations of the harbor, it is learned definitely, all agreeing on the point, that the Spanish cruisers and two torpedo boat destroyers are there, but these vessels are regarded by naval experts, after all, as "men in buck ram." As a high naval officer remarked to day: "Spain, throughout her whole history, has never sought a naval fight, and never will. She has always dodged and is dodging now. Cervera never in tended to light. He intended to dodge, and he has succeeded. Spain will never send another fleet to these waters dur ing the present war." Severe storms prevail in the channel between Santiago de Cuba and Ja maica. The press dispatch boats have encountered these storms for the last ten days, making the voyages very dif ficult. The heat adds to the discomfort, but a daily service is maintained. THE PHILIPPINES TARIFF. Import Duties to Remain But Export Duties Will bo Abolished. New York, June 13. A special to the Times from Washington says: The decision of the administration to continue the Spanish tariff schedules in force in the Philippines while they are un der the military governor generalship of General "Wesley Merritt has not been an nounced officially, but, as stated before in these dispatches, the course has prac ticallv been decided on, and the customs authorities are acting on that idea. The publication of the facts has brought a number of inquiries to the treasury de partment as to what the present tariff duties are in the Philippines, many of these queries coming from persons who are already looking to the islands as a gossible market for goods. The latest panish tariff went into effect in the Phil ippines through the action of a royal de cree on April 1, 1S91. The treasury department is in posses sion of the provisions of this decree, with the various modifications made to it. the latest being dated October, 1897, bringing the schedules up to date. Following are some of the items of the Philippine tariff as it will in all proba bility be enforced under General Merritt's direction Coal and coke, BO cents a ton; glass ware, $16 a ton: gold and silver in jew elry or plate. $2 an ounce: cast iron in pigs, $5 a ton; wrought iron and steel rails, $16 a ton; tin plate, $50 a ton; var nishes, $48 a ton; salt. $6.u0 a ton; manu factured tobacco. $1.20 a pound: raw to bacco, 10 cents a pound; raw cotton, $2.40 a ton; close woven tissues of cotton, plain, unbleached, bleached or dyed, up to 25 threads, 10 cents a pound: muslins, cam bricfe, lawns, organdies and gauzes up to 30 threads. 20 cents a pound; cotton hosiery in stockings, socks and gloves. 30 cents a pound; woolen and worsted goods, un bleached. IT cents a pound; when washed or bleached, 30 cents a pound: carpets of wool, 24 cents a pound: woolen blan kets, 20 cents a pound: books. 5 cents a pound: engravings, maps and drawings, 12 cents a pound: Wood in boards for boxes, flooring or planking, ll1 cents per cubic foot: ordinary wood made into fur niture or bent wood furniture, $20 a ton; horses. $20 each; shoes, 26 cents a pair; harnpssm.ikprs' wares." S5 cents a pound: Eianos. $25 each: meat, salted and jerked eef, 4 cents a pound: pork, lard and ba con, 7 cents a pound; wheat. $6 a ton: wheat flour, $1.05 per 100 pounds: refined sugar, half a cent a pound; hats, not trimmed, and bonnets, 20 cents each; hats and bonnets with milliners worn, i.ao each. It is the present intention of the admin istration to make goods from this country subject to the same duties as goods from other countries. This will be done on the ground that until formally acquired by treatv of peace the Philippines are not United States territory. At present heavy export duties are levied on the principal natural products of the Philippines. All these, it is expected, will be abolish ed and the natives allowed to ship their tobacco, indigo, rice, sugar and cocoa nuts without paying for the privilege. SLOWLY STARVING. Distressing Condition of Affairs in Havana. Toronto, Ont., June 13. Letters re ceived from an officer of the British cruiser Talbot and a merchant of Ha vana by persons in this city give gloomy pictures of affairs in Cuba generally and the capital in particular. The navy officer says he had every opportunity of noting the state of affairs. He found the common people were slowly starv ing, w4hile the wealthy were reduced to considerable hardships. The garrison are on rations slightly under the regu lation quantity. General Blanco is using every natural formation to make the defences stronger, and is mining and entrenching at all points. The mood of the garrison, he says, varies. At times it is buoyant, then depressed. Soldiers are fairly well dis ciplined and armed. If they can be Tnnnlm 1151 kept in good spirits they will doubtlf 3 fight splendidly. Blanco appears to have abundant ammunition, but the British navy of ficer thinks he is short of guns of suf ficient calibre to destroy big battle ships. He thinks the gunners not too well trained. He reiterates the views of the commander of the Talbot, given some time ago, that it would be diffi cult to carry the fortress by assault, even after effective bombardment. The garrison can be starved into surrender in a short time. The letter concludes with the statement that several con voys for the Spanish garrison undoubt edly ran the blockade recently. The fall of Santiago is predicted as soon as a determined attempt at cap ture is made. The officer says the place can not be defended against any well directed attack. The merchant's letter takes a very gloomy view of the situation. He is quietly preparing to leave Cuba. His family is in Jamaica. There is no trade in the city and the people have faith in Blanco's ability to defeat the United States. Attack and surrender are only a question of, time. DENVER'S WELCOME Extended in a Hearty Manner to Tennessee Volunteers. Denver, Colo., June 13. The train carrying the first section of the Tennes see troops arrived here at 12:45 this morning and the other three sections followed it, the last getting here at 5 o'clock.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOUBNAL, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE, 13, 1898, ARMYAT SEA. tContlnued from First Paee.1 land and it will take a little time to put them in shape. It is true that the progress made at Jacksonville, where General Fitzhugh Lee is in command, has been much more satisfactory than at some of the other camps. Already clothing- for 7, 600 men has been delivered there and owing to the abundant railroad facili ties no such congestion and confusion as occurred at Tampa in the distribu tion of u'liforms, equipments and sup plies have been encountered. This en courages the hope that the volunteers there will be made ready for the in vading campaign in less time than was required at Tampa and is being taken at Chickamauga. No one supposes that the Puerto Rican army will be made up inconse quentially. Lieutenant Whitney is said to have reported the Spanish strength in the island as small, but it is recog nized by the war board that it will not do to take chances in the matter. It is remembered that Admiral Samp son found that the reductions of the forts and batteries of San Juan was no child's play, and that he succeeded in doing little damage to them in three hours of bombardment. It is reasoned, too, that there may be more Spanish troops in the island than Lieutenant Whitney saw. At any rate the war de partment feels that while it has the men it would be wise to send enough to Puerto Rico to meet and defeat twice as many Spaniards as are believed to be in the island. The larger the force and the quicker, more decisive and pos sibly the less bloody will be the work of capturing the place. For these rea sons probably 12.000 or 15,000 men will be sent to the island. General Fitzhugh Lee Is expected to command a part of the Puerto Rican expedition, but this is not taken as eliminating him from the main Cuban campaign. There will be plenty of op portunity for him to take the part he is anxious to take in the real work of freeing Cuba after the campaign in the lesser island is over. The story that he Is to be made governor general of Porto Rico is discredited by its inappropriate ness. The navy department has been ad vised of the purpose of the army and the war department is making arrange ments for supplying the convoying fleet for the expedition to Porto Rico. This will be of a more formidable character than that which goes with the Santiago expedition, for the plans contemplate a joint attack upon the San Juan forti fication by the army and navy, and the fortifications are so powerful that heav ily armored ships only can be sent against them at the beginning. There fore it is believed that Admiral Samp eon's battleships will head this fleet. Artillery and Infantry. Washington, June 13. The full list of the troops that make up General Shafter's expedition as reported to the war department is as follows: Infan try regiments Sixtieth, Sixteenth, Seventy-first New York volunteers. Tenth, Twenty-first, Second, Thir teenth. "!ith. Twenty-fourth, Eighth, Twenty-bond, Second Massachusetts volunteers, First, Fifteenth. Thirteenth, Seventh, Seventeenth, Third, Twen tieth. Total infantry, 561 officers and 10,7o9 enlisted men. Cavalry Two dismounted squadrons of four troops each from the Third, Sixth, Ninth, First and Tenth cavalry, and two dismounted squadrons of four troops each from the First United States volunteer cavalry. Total dismounted cavalry 159 officers, 2,875 enlisted men; mounted cavairy, one squadron of the Second, nine officers and 2S0 enlisted men. Artillery Light batteries E and K, First artillery A and F, Second artillery fourteen officers and 323 enlisted men. Batteries G and II, Fourth artillery siege, four officers and 132 enlisted men. Engineers Company C and E, nine officers and 200 enlisted men. Signal corps One detachment, two officers and forty-five enlisted men. Hospital detachments are included in the above figures. The staff corps numbers fifteen officers. The grand total of the expedition is 773 officers and 14,564 enlisted men. General Shaffer in his report Indi cates the great obstacles that had to be overcome in order to embark his force at Fort Tampa and it is not likely if his recommendation carries weight that the effort will be made to again embark so large a number of troops from this port without considerably en larging the shipping facilities. It will be noticed by far the larger portion of the expedition is made up of infantry although an unusually large number of artillery is included; and that the cavalry is almost altogether lacking. It is expected, however, that the dismounted cavalry with the ex pedition will be mounted later in Cuba, either from the stock of native horses or from mounts that will follow them from this country. Owing to the moun tainous and the jungle like condition of the country back of Santiago where the trops must operate there will be little opportunity for the use of cavalry so that the expedition has not been weak ened in the opinion of experts by with holding the cavalry mounts at the be ginning of the campaign. The troops will arrive off Santiago Thursday morning at the latest barring storms or accident and the landing probably will take place on the after noon of that day or Friday following as Admiral Sampson is extremely anxious to reinforce the small body of marines now ashore at Guantanamo Bay. The position of these men is not entirely satisfactory to the officials here. While no advices have yet reached the navy department of the attack made on the marine force by Spanish guerillas Sat urday night there is no disposition to question, the accuracy of the press re ports. It cannot be said that the attack caused surprise here but it was plain to be seen that it Indicated to the offi cials some ugly possibilities for the fu ture. It Is apparent for one thing that regular organizations of troops fighting according to established methods are destined to meet with severe loss at the hands of irregular bodies, such as the Spanish guerillas, who evidently have taken a leaf from the Cubans' practice and are conducting something like In dian warfare in the jungles. One of the most annoying features attending this style of warfare is the worry imposed upon the soldiers, for a few score irregulars can manage to keep in state of unrest and excitement a large body of regular troops, prevent ing them from sleeping and generally disturbing them. Behind earthworks there will be little reason for complaint on this score and it is rrobable that our troops in operating In Cuba will be obliged to resort frequently to this means of defence. Miles of Ships. Washington, June 13. The make tip of the convoy fleet for the army of in vasion is still withheld and in fact the navy department knows only as to the general character of its strength. Be sides the Indiana, one other battleship and a first-class cruiser accompany the fleet. The other ships are lesser cruis ers, gunboat3 and auxiliary crait. Five of the naval ships of the fleet first went to Port Tampa, while eleven kemained oft Key West. When the fiS warships and the 32 transports reached Key West a Junction was made with the eleven warships at that point and the combined fleets started together. Naval officials speak of it as a magnif icent marine procession. The transports stretched out for several miles, accord ing to a high naval official, although even this it is felt is short of the length which such a procession of troops would take, each being given adequate sea room. The warships proper headed by the majestic Indiana stretched at least three-quarters of a mile. FALL OF MANILA. The Keport is Doubted in London for Various Reasons. London, June 13. Secretary Briggs, of the Manila Railway company, who is in constant communication with Manila, discredits the rumors in cir culation as to the surrender of that place. He received a cable message from Manila yesterday via Hong Kong, reporting that the road was working and no mention was made of the city having surrendered. Mr. Briggs be lieves the Spaniards would surrender to Rear Admiral Dewey in preference to being conquered by the insurgents. The secretary is informed that a full understanding exists between Admiral Dewey and the insurgents and it is generally believed at Hong Kong and Manila that before Aguinaldo, the in surgent leader, consented to return to Manila, he secured pledges that the United States would not leave him in the lurch by returning the Philippine islands to the Spaniards. Referring to the Spanish tales of al leged insurgent atrocities, Mr. Briggs says they are utter nonsense. He adds that the natives of the Philippine is lands are the mildest people in the world and asserts that all the Euro peans there were surprised that they mustered up courage enough to revolt. MEASLES AND MUMPS Still Prevail in 22nd Kansas 50 Men in the Hospital. Camp Alger. Va.,June 13. The Twenty-second Kansas probably will get arms and munitions today. As soon as the regiment gets its arms there will take place a grand parade, at which the colors recently received from Kansas will be presented formally to the com pany which will carry them hencefor ward. According to army regulations there is quite a ceremony to be observ ed at the receipt of colors, involving a dress parade and review, and Lieuten ant Colonel Graham thought it better to wait until the men were all armed before attempting this. A hospital for the Second division has been established near the Twenty-second's camp, where all sick from the nine regiments comprising that division must be sent. There is still a good deal of feeling in regard to the abolition of the regimental hospitals, but it is dying out. Dr. Deneidman of the Twenty second Kansas, who has been assistant surgeon at the First division hospital ever since his regiment arrived, was re lieved yesterday and ordered to the Second division. He requested to be allowed to return to his regiment, how ever, for a time at least, in order to re cover from the exhausting work. His request was granted, there being plenty of surgeons to take his place. There are 50 cases of measles and mumps in the division hospitals, nearly all from the Twenty-second Kansas and the Eighth Ohio. Five additional cases were sent over from the Twenty-second yesterday, and several more will probably follow be fore night. Measles seems to have been unknown in Kansas, for scarcely a. man in the Twenty-second has had it. There are tive men in the Twenty-second whose discharge has been asked for by the surgeons. Four of them say they should never have been enlisted, as they are suffering with defects that are sup posed to prevent enlistment. They are Privates Schultz. company B: Pickett, B; Norheim, D. and Thompson, G. Private Newman, company K, has been injured since his enlistment. NOW FOR PORTO RICO. Washington, June 13. The war depart ment announced today that it had begun active preparations for the second army invasion. It is believed the second army will go to Porto Rico. COL. LINDSEY HERE. He Wants All the Recruits for His Regiment to Come Here. Col. H. C. Lindsey of the Twenty second Kansas regiment now stationed at Falls Church, Va., arrived in Topeka yesterday for the purpose of recruiting up to the full strength his regiment as required by the war department. When asked when and where he would start recruiting, CoL Lindsey said "I do not know." He is expecting orders and transportation which will determine his movements. It is the wish of Colonel Lindsey that all the men recruited for his and the other two regiments be mobilized here before being sent to their respective regiments. This plan will be proposed to the government and will be pushed by Col. Lindsey Sergt. Orville Taylor is still in town in charge of the recruiting for the Twentieth. Ad jutant DeFord has not returned but is expected here this evening. CADIZ FLEET SO GOOD. Washington, June 13. Word has been received at the navy department from a high though unofficial source that Ad miral Camara's Cadiz fleet has been found unfit for sea. BURNED OCT. Spartansburg, Pa., is Almost Destroy ed by Fire. Erie, Pa., June 13. The business part of the town of Spartansburg, Pa., was wiped out by fire which started at 1:30 this morning and is supposed to be oE incendiary origin. The large business houses, all wooden structures, with their contents were burned, besides numerous smaller ones. The loss is $150,000 and is almost total. The fire burned itself out as the town is without fighting facilities. A. Remarkable Cure. Mr. Alexander Moore, a reliable busi ness man, of 1230 S. 13th St., Philadel phia, Pa., says: "I contracted a violent cold-which settled all over me. The pain in my chest and side was excruci ating. The doctor gave me medicine and blistered my side, but I only grew worse. Then you gave me a bottle of Brazilian Balm. I had little or no faith in it, but decided to try it. I took 3 or 4 good doses before bed time, and rubbed it well over my blistered side. That night I slept like a top my first good rest for over a week aud awoke in the morning cured. Brazilian Balm is sim gly invaluable." INSANITY. (Continued from First Page.) good food, and his confinement, from a physical standpoint, is not bad. John Collins still has friends who be lieve that he is innocent of the crime with which he is charged. These friends are trying in every way to head off the stories which are coming out, and. the information which the officers have been obtaining. They naturally try to place discredit on every disclos ure which is brought to the surface. Action was not taken in Collins" ar rest until the whole evidence as secured was taken by Sheriff Cook to a well known Topeka lawyer. Topeka Masons, who had the case investigated, con sulted another eminent lawyer, and these two lawyers consulted and called in a third lawyer. The three lawyers thus summoned, consulted together, and it was on their unquali fied recommendation that the complaint was requested of the county attorney and the warrant issued for John Col lins' arrest. Harry C. Safford, ex-county attorney, who was at first one of John Collins' warmest friends and protested that it could not be said that John Collins killed his father, after hearing the evi dence thus obtained by Dell Harbaugh and Sheriff Cook, stated that he had change dhis opinion, and that he be lieved the murder was committed by the son. He announced that he would assist in the criminal prosecution of John Collins for murder, and would not expect a cent of pay for it. According ly he has been assisting in preparing the case for the preliminary hearing. MEADE VISITS COLLINS. Says He Firmly Believes That John Will Come Out All Right Grant Meade went today to the coun ty jail and called upon John H. Collins. He remained in private consultation with him for over an hour. This is the first visit made by any of the Collins family to the county jail where the young man is confined. He is a son of X?.-s. J. S. Collins, but is no blood relation to John. It is known that he and John were good friends. Meade is now a Santa Fe conductor employed on the southern division. After he came away from the county jail he was asked by a State Journal reporter If he had a theory for the mur der. "I have not expressed any theory for the murder," said Meade, "and I never shall. I know nothing about it. and can say nothing. I was not here at the time." i "Do you know that John tried to im plicate you in the murder when he talk ed with Sheriff Cook and Detective Harbaugh?" "No I didn't know that," replied Meade as he looked up in a surprised way. "No, I didn't know that." "You and he were good friends, were you not?" "Yes, we were good friends." "Why do you suppose he tried to draw you into it?" Meade paused a moment, with his eyes fixed on an object far away. Then turning to his questioner, he said: "Well, I suppose he was just like the rest of us he wanted to see the mys tery solved. I don't know of any other reason. I can't be connected with it, for I was away from here at the time." Then pausing again Meade said rath er angrily: "I don't like the attitude of the newspapers on this matter, any way. I don't intend to say anything more. The papers haven't done the right thing. I have no doubt that John will come out of this all right, I ex pect hiin to." With this remark Grant Meade walk ed away toward the home of his late stepfather. LOVE THAI LEADS TO MADNESS What Some People Call Love is Fre quently Only Disease.. Dave Leahy, Topeka correspondent of the Kansas City Times, has an unique theory along the line of the "love insanity" which some think has developed in the Collins case. The following is his theory as pub lished in the Times: Did love of society so take possession of John Collins that his mental balance was destroyed? Did love for Miss Bab cock dethrone reason? Or is he a fiend and degenerate? His friends for he still has loyal and faithful ones are urging him to make a confession and plead insanity. Evidence is forthcom ing that his father pronounced him "society mad." There are those who believe his devotion to the beautiful Lawrence girl was such that he was not rational when possible steps were to be taken which would induce her to become his wife. No matter which the ory is accepted, if Collins confesses his guilt it explains why money was so essential to him. In advancing the insanity theory the friends of Collins introduce a new idea, and one that will engage the attention of alienists the world over. The people of Topeka coined the term "love in sanity" to apply to the peculiar case of Collins. Poets in the richness of their imaginations long since discovered that love produced madness, and it has been a fruitful field for their muse, but no student of literary research has ever found it recorded in song that "love in sanity" has ever driven a man to kill his own father, although it has fre quently driven men to kill themselves or one another. Putting poets aside, however, the idea of "love insanity" is, perhaps, a serious matter. It may be possible that the Topeka people are right, and that the fiber in the brain that responds to the tenderness of love may be so deranged that at times it crosses some other nerve, as electric wires cross each other and in the contact conjures up the fiend of murder. If this is the case, love, that element that is so conducive to the joy and happiness of the human family, may be as dangerous to the harmony of the world as hate. LODGE DID NOT DO IT. A. 3L Wilson Says Masonic Lodges Took No Hand in Collins Case. A. K. Wilson, grand secretary of the Masons denies that the Masonic lodges employed detectives to work on the Collins case. Mr. Wilson said today: "I da not understand how the report started that the Masonic lodges hired detectives. So far as the lodges are concerned the matter was dropped when the coroner's jury finished its in vestigations. It is not in the-province of the Slasonic lodges to engage in that kind of business. "I have no doubt that some of the members have associated themselves together in an informal way to help fer ret the thing out, but the Masonic lodges have not had anything to do with it whatever." SCOUTS INSANITY. John "Wilkerson Ridicules the Idea of John Collins Being Insane. J. M. Wilkerson returned last night from Lawrence fhere he spent the day working on the Collins case. Ex-Sheriff Wilkerson is recognized as one of the best criminal experts in Kan sas and he has assisted materially In working up the case. The only additional fact developed by the Lawrence visit was of a corrob orative nature. Button Harper, a younger brother of Jess Harper told Mr. Wilkerson that he saw the $75 paid at the Harper home in Lawrence. He said: "John Collins came to our house," said he, "before anyone was at home and I was the first one to come. He said he had some business with Jess and I waited and saw the money paid." That is the substance of the state ment made by Button Harper to Mr. Wilkerson. Ex-Sheriff Wilkerson scouts the idea of John Collins being insane, "I don't call it insanity," said he. "When a man commits a crime there is always some one around to start the story of insani ty. When a man commits a murder he does it for meanness 99 times out of 100. I am slow to believe an Insanity story. "Thjngs look black for John," said Mr. Wilkerson. "The circumstances are against him and if he committed the crime he did not do it because he was insane. I am also slow to believe the stories the negroes tell and I think that there is grave danger in having them testify. As long as they are kept down to bare facts it will be all right but if any attempt is made to pad their testimony in any particular I would not be surprised to see it fall to the ground. "It is hard for me to coneeive any thing more dastardly if John committed the murder. He gave away his own watch that his father had given him, he hunted up these tough colored men and paid them money and then wanted his father blown up with dynamite. The whole thing makes one of the worst crimes of the age. "I have worked hard on the case and I found many things that led me to think that the death might have been caused by suicide, but these later de velopments overturn the suicide the ory entirely." LOVE CAN DO IT. Dr. Eastman, the Insanity Expert, Says Love Can Lead to Insanity. A Journal reporter this morning in terviewed Dr. B. D. Eastman, who for many years was superintendent of the state insane asylum at Topeka and who is recognized as the foremost expert and authority on insanity in this part of the country, in regard to the Collins case. Dr. Eastman was asked, "grant ed that John Collins killed his father do you think he was insane at the time of committing the act?" "That is a question I am not pre pared to answer," said Dr. Eastman. "There are a great many persons who can answer that question off hand and positively affirm whether, under the circumstances, John Collins was insane or not; but the competent and experienced expert like the satis factory juror, does not anonunce his verdict until the evidence is all in and the case closed. To answer your ques tion correctly, satisfactorily and scien tifically would require the most pains taking and thorough investigation of the case in all its bearings. I think you can appreciate in some degree the force of this statement by considering how many divergent and contradictory views of the way in which Mr Collins met his death have been expressed." "Can you give an account of any such ases as this one is supposed to be that have come under your observa tion?" "No two cases are alike and I can not point you to any such case, but there have been a good many cases more or less like this in various particulars. I may not be able this morning to call to mind many cases having similarity to this of John Collins, but I will mention two or three. "A married woman with three chil dren, of a religious turn of mind, went to bed, apparently well as usual but during the night she had a very vivid and distressing dream in which she seemed to see her dead sister suffering the pains of hell. When she awoke, she insisted upn the reality of this vision and no one could persuade her that it was only a dream. Upon awakening the next morning her mind had recovered its normal tone. In a case formerly under my care a young man in what was supposed to be an attack of somnambulism went some distance from home and made a very violent homicidal attack upon a play mate. He was afterwards adjudged in sane and sent to an asylum where he finally committed suicide. Sudden un premeditated homicidal attacks are not infrequently made by persons who are subject to epilepsy." "Do you know anything of the Pome roy case in Massachusetts?" "Not by personal observation, al though the matter happened when I re sided in that state. The attending cir cumstances are scarcely similar to those of the Collins case. Pomeroy was a boy about 13 or 14 years old who in duced a smaller boy to go with him to a scheduled place and there tormented him and finally killed him with a pocket knife. The boy appeared to be entirely unappreciative of any wrong doing, completely lacking in moral tone, a case of moral idiocy. The question as to whether he was, properly speaking, insane or not, was, a mooted one, and finally decided, according to my recol lection, that he was not insajie in the proper signification of the term. He was sent to state's prison, I believe." "What do you know of the Willie Sell case in this state?" "All I know is only through the news papers. It was stated that several members of his family were killed, by whom it could not at first be determ ined. After a time various circum stances fixed the crime upon Sell who was tried and convicted. Efforts to prove him insane and to get him acquit ted on that ground were not successful and he is now in the Kansas peniten tiary." "What effect does the use of cocaine have upon the mind?" "The occasional or moderate use of cocaine as a surgical or medical rem edy has no particular effect upon the mind, but the danger in its use is that it is a very seductive drug, and if a person begins its use he is liable to be come more and more enslaved to it until he becomes broken in body and mind. In this state, when the subject becomes a perfect slave to its contin ued and increasing use, he is in a de plorable condition. He is debilitated and broken in bodily health and his mind becomes wrecked. He is liable to be filled with delusions of an appre hensive character, imagines enemies are pursuing him. becomes excited and fearful, searches every part of the house, for instance, for thet- imaginary foes with the intention of inflicting summary vengeance upon them. This is not a condition of brief duration or coolness but is potent to beholders, full of excitement and demonstration "What about the suggestion that a person may become love crazy. "Craziness or insanity is the mental manifestations of a disease of the brain, the organ of mind. Impaired health, over work, worry, etc., may lead to in sanity bv causing impairment of the brain. When insane the mind may run upon religion, finance, losses or other topics and the expression is often used that a person is insane on religion or on the subject of finance which properly means that the mind dwells upon those subjects." "But what about insanity being caused by love?" "The mental condition of a person overwhelmingly in love under adverse circumstances. causing excitement, worry, sleeplessness, great mental dis tress, etc., might doubtless act through these channels to exhaust the brain and bring on mental derangement just as such exhaustion effects through the channels of religion, politics or finance might do." MORE BORROWED MONET. Young Collins Signed Two Notes in Lawrence One Still Unpaid. When John Collins borrowed $75 of Boss B. Broadhead of Lawrence on the day he is supposed to have made the deal with Jess Harper and Johnson Jordan, he gave two notes. One was for $50 payable in 30 days and the other was for $25 payable in 60 days. The $50 note was sent to Topeka for collection and was paid on the day that it was due. May 26. John Collins gave his personal check on the Bank of To peka for the amount. The other note, is still in possession of Mr. Broadhead and will be due on June 26. When Jno. Collins went to Mr. Broad head to secure the loan he offered to pledge his watch. Mr. Broadhead re fused to take the watch saying that it had been given to him by his father and he did not want totake it. He then asked John Collins if he did not have some other collateral that he could leave to secure the loan. He replied: "No, but I will have plen ty of property, soon." Mr. Broadhead dismissed the matter without a second thought but as soon as he heard of the murder the remark carelessly made by John when the loan was made occurred to him. This $75 borrowed of Mr. Broadhead, who is an employe of the J. B. Watkins Land Mortgage company is not the only money borrowed by young Collins in Lawrence. He borrowed $50 of the Watkins bank about three weeks be fore and Samuel Usher, a prominent Lawrence society man endorsed the note with him. When John Collins made his last trip to Topeka before his father's death this note was overdue. He stopped at the bank to say that he would take care of the note in a few days just before he left Topeka. It is supposed that this $50 borrowed from the bank was secured before any of the conferences with the negroes. It was probably used as was at first sup posed to pay the obligations at stores and other places in Lawrence and to furnish the funds to keep up the rather fast pace John Collins was then travel ing. The only money Collins borrowed in Topeka, so far as has been ascertained, was from Mrs. Jane Stormont and that was secured last August before Collins returned to Lawrence. This money was borrowed for six months and has not been paid. It is not supposed that the borrowing of this money from Mrs. Stormont had any connection with any plot to murder J. S. Collins. John com plained to Mrs. Stormont that his fath er did not allow him enough money to keep up and Mrs. Stormont let John have the money because he had been kind to her when she stopped at the Collins house. GONE TO EMPORIA To Find if Johnson Jordan Was There the Night of the Murder. Sheriff Porter S. Cook and Detective Dell Harbaugh will go to Emporia this afternoon to verify the rumor that Johnson Jordan was not there on the night of the Collins murder but was in Topeka. Chief Steele is authority for the statement that Jordan was in To peka. Detective Harbaugh says he has good reason to think that Jordan's statement, that he went there so as to be able to prove an alibi, is correct. The two men will make a thorough in vestigation at Emporia and will try to find out the truth of the rumor regard less of the consequences. Chief Steele claims to have positive knowledge that Jordan's statements are false, but he puts forth no evidence to prove his statements. PRELIMINARY HEARING. It Will Be Held Thursday Before Jus tice W. S. McClintock. The preliminary hearing of John H. Collins, on the charge of murder will be held Thursday, before Justice tV. S. McClintock. It will be held in Justice McClintock's court at 521 -Kansas ave nue, second floor, beginning in the morning. It is expected that the at torneys for the defense will make a rigid cross examination of witnesses, and it is probable that the hearing will last several days. It is not unlikely that a continuance will be taken. The interested parties, and witnesses will j nearly fill the justice court room. County Attorney Jetmore ana ex County Attorney H. C. Safford are pre paring the state's side for the prosecu tion, while A. A. Godard and J. G. Wa ters are preparing to fight the case for John Collins. JOHN COLLINS LEFT HANDED. One Peculiarity That Adds to the Chain of Evidence. A strong point in the circumstantial evidence is that John Collins is left handed. This was discovered by De tective Dell Harbaugh by accident. An Investigation was immediately made to ascertain the way things were found af ter the murder. 'It was found that the shotgun with which J. S. Collins was murdered, lay in the hallway pointing diagonally toward the stairs. It was lying in such a position that a person in dropping it and starting toward the stairs would have had to release it from the left hand. This is considered a point in the circumstantial evidence. revenue bill signed Washington, June 13. The war revenue bill was brought to the White House by a messenger at 2:45 p. m. and was signed by the president at 3:01 o'clock. Sawing Their Jail Bars. An attempt was made last night at jail delivery at the county jail. Last night a turnkey in passing through the lower corridor heard an unusual noise. He found that Frank White and Chas. Macklin had been at work on bars to one of the north windows. Further in vestigation revealed the fact that one of the bars had been sawed off and cutting had been done on others. But the attempt was frustrated just in time. The prisoners were locked in their cells. Macklin and White occupy the same cell together. It was found that tools had been hidden in the crevice near the bath tub on the lower floor. Plumbers were sent for and the" took off the drain pipes leading to the bath tub. In this were found two small steel saws, about eight inches long and half an inch wide. Through sleepers both standard and tourist to Washington for the N. E. A., via Santa Fe and Pennsylvania lines.

William Strauchon of this city, has received from his son John, on board the St. Paul, a letter under date of June 6, from Long Island, in which he says: We have just arrived here from San tiago de Cuba where we have been do ing blockade duty since leaving Key West up to the time of the bombard ment of the former. We were sent by Rear Admiral Schley to St. Nicholas with dispatches to the department at Washington and there we were ordered to Havana to send Rear Admiral Sampson with reinforcements to 1 Schley, and then to proceed to New xorK for overhauling and stores. The St. Paul has rendered some val uable service to the government. We have kept the Spanish fleet under Ad miral Cervera penned up in Santiago without coal or provisions and chased everything away that tried to gain en trance. We took charge of one block ade runner, a British steamer sent with 2,400 tons of coal, twelve 10-inch Krupp rifles, eighty Whitehead torpedoes, and other small arms and ammunition, to the value of about $1.000800. This will bring each member of our crew accord ing to his rate from $300 to $700. She gave us a good chase and only that it was early in the morning she would have got away. We fired two blank and two solid shots across her bow to bring her to, and at that time she was under cover of the fire from the forts, but on account of the early hour the Spanish were not astir yet, and when they awoke to the fact that their all in all was going they fired a few wild shots at us as we towed our prize to sea, which did no particular harm ex cept to disturb the fish that were in search of early breakfast. There is now a fleet of 21 vessels under Sampson watching Santiago and Bottled-up Cer vera, and I don't think he is liable to do much harm as long as he is kept where he is, as they have not the necessities of life and are actually starving. All their supplies inland are cut off by the rebels and I don't think I'd like to be in their boots in any case. That gives you some idea of what the ship has done. Now I will tell you what I have done. I am enlisted for 12 months as a machinist in the navy. An en gineer is a commissioned officer and this ship has only five; all the rest are machinists. My work is all in the boiler rooms. In port I look out for the cleaning and repairing, of boilers and pumps and machines in the boiler rooms. I am boss over all the rest on account of being in the ship previous to her going into commission. Very few of the old hands stayed by, and most of them are new to the ship. Captain Sigsbee is a grand officer, Is revered by every man in the ship, and stands high with brother commanders and "the powers that be." beanTieard from. He Was Seen in Denver Two Weeks Ago. Thomas B. Crauel, manager of the Den ver branch of Otto Kuehnes preserving works, is in the city today. He learned for the first time today that Asa W. Bean of North Topeka had disappeared from this city. He says that about two weeks ago Asa Bean came into his office in Den ver, dressed shabbily, but did not speak of his having left Topeka suddenly.

TODAi'S MARKET REPORT. Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal. Chicago, June 13. WHEAT There was an intimation to day that faith had been broken among the combination holding the wheat in the northwest and that one of them had been unloading on the others. This, together with more favorable weather, enormous world's shipments of wheat and lower Liverpool cables, created an almost pan icky feeling here today in the wheat pit. July broke 7c to 79c, below the put price, and September 3c to 70c. The total world's shipments of wheat for the week were 12.387.CCO bushels, compared with 5. 322.000 bushels last year.

Wheat took another slump on heavy selling bv Leiter. His sales were placed at 3,0CO,Ou0 to 4,000.000 bushels. Leiter brokers and others were busy transferring June wheat to Armour. The fact that this wheat was going into strong hands fright ened shorts and caused considerable cov ering. The feeling steadied somewhat. July sold down to 76c and at noon was offered at 77c. September dropped off to 69c arnd steadied to 70c. CORN There was selling from every direction in corn, on an improvement in the weather conditions.

Scalpers ham mering since the gong sounded. New York: Everyone asks himself what will be the probable effect of the govern ment entering the market for the borrow ing of $200,000,000 at 3 per cent. The last popular loan of the government wasjnaile a success only by the earnest efforts of the large bankers and financial institu tions, who were Induced to insure its suc cess from motives which Included that of self-interest. The first comparison which will occur is that we were enjoying peace four years ago, while now we are in the midst of war. The war is one which taxes to only a slight extent the wonder ful resources of this country. Its progress has been favorable to the American forces and has practically caused no interrup tion to the ordinary movement of busi ness. The foreign markets are now in a position favorable to the flotation of a large domestic loan. Money has become a drug in London and the rates on the continent have declined materially In the last few weeks. In brief, the govern ment's borrowing needs are very likely to be met by the sheer surplus of the coun try's capital The high credit made by the government out to benefifinstead of harm the general investment situation.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1898. RAILROAD NEWS. Fourth of July Hates Take a Tumble. Passenger Association Agree ment Fails to Operate. KATE OF ONE FARE Assured by the Missouri Pa cific's Bolt. Pittsburg Gulf Also Disre gards the Agreement. Prospects are considered very bright for a general rate of one fare for the round trip in western territory for this year's Independence day celebrations. Early in the season western lines got together and agreed that excursion rates for that day should be upon a basis of one and one-third fare for the round trip, such tickets to be sold from any station to any other within a radius of 200 miles. It was agreed also that such tickets should be sold on July 2, 3 and 4, and that they should be good for return passage to and in cluding July 5. Notice was given that the Missouri Pacific has decided to make a still greater reduction and to sell round trip tickets at the price of one way journey. The Kansas City, Pittsburg Gulf also gave notice that it would do likewise. These two lines will cause similar ac tion on the part of practically all of the western lines. In the southwest the Missouri Pacific is a powerful factor, and all competitors will place them selves upon an equal footing. The Kan sas City. Pittsburg Gulf now has a line from Quincy, 111., to Kansas City. This will carry the low Fourth of July rate into Illinois and will cause it to spread through western territory. No change in the dates of sale or re turn limit is likely to be made. DISASTROUS RAINS. Kansas Railroads Expend $100,000 Repairing Damages. The excessive rains of the past six weeks in this state have proved expen sive to the Kansas railroads. Besides losses resulting from washouts, where new bridges or new stretches of track have had to be built, there has been a great expense in remedying "soft track" in all parts of the state. Where water covers the track for any length of time the track naturally set tles under the weight of trains and has to be raised to proper grade and sub stantially filled in. During the past six weeks this trouble has been encoun tered on all divisions of all Kansas rail roads, and the forces in the track de partments have been increased to re pair the damage resulting from the rain. It is estimated that the rains this year have cost the Kansas lines in the neighborhood of $100,000. PINOREE TOOK A HAND. Lake Shore Must Pay Damages for Ejecting Passenger. Toledo, O., June 13. The Jury in the case of William Y.Chamberlin against the Lake .Shore and Michigan Southern railway, at Monroe, gave the plaintiff a judgment for $2,000. Chamberlain was riding between Rockwood and Flat Rock and tendered the conductor 19 cents fare. This the conductor refused to accept, and, upon Chamberlain's refusing to pay 25 cents, which is the regular fare, he was forci bly ejected from the train. According to Michigan laws the rail road company could not charge more than two cents per mile, and, as the distance between the two places is but nine miles, Chamberlain sued, for dam ages. The case was tried once before and Chamberlain succeeded in getting a judgment of $400, but the railroad com pany demanded a new trial. Governor Pingree took a hand In the case and sent Col. John Atkinson, of Detroit, down to help Chamberlain. MUST HAVE COFFEE. Texas Man Loses His Wife on a Kansas Train. Parsons. June 13. A Texan had an ex perience yesterday while on nis way to Omaha that will probably lead to his car rying at least a small portion of the funds of the family on his person when travel ing In the future. The gentleman and his wife started from southern Texas for the exposition at Omaha, purchasing tickets via Kansas City, and when they reached Denison his wife wanted some hot coffee and sent him after it with a tin pail. When he return ed with the coffee the train was gone with the wife, money and railroad tickets, leaving him to get what consolation he could from the pail of coffee. He ex plained maters to the railroad officials and was sent north on the next train, reach ing Parsons yesterday noon. The train his wife was on was delayed by the wreck at Chouteau. I. T.. and did not reach Parsons until about 9 o'clock, three hours before the husband ar rived, and the Kansas City car was held here until the noon train arrived. V lien the man reached this city he at once told his troubles to Station Agent Lewis, who piloted him to the Kansas City train, where he found his wife. The chances are that if anv more coffee Is wanted between Parsons and Omaha the couple will hunt for it together. Gulf Reduces Time. Pittsburg, June 13. Posted in the proper places is a bulletin signed by Division Master Mechanic David Daw son of the Pittsburg Gulf shops an nouncing that the shops would be closed June 11. This cuts the working time down to five days a week, of nine hours each. This morning only a few men were at work, together with most of the round house men and four or five painters. One forge in the blacksmith shop was at work. Taken all together, the shops and yards look deserted. MAY EXPENSES.

For the first time since active hostilities have begun, the insurgents in Cuba are counted upon as an actual factor in the war by tha Americans. General Callxto Garcia, with the largest force ever under any Cuban leader. Is holding the Sierra Cobre and Si erra Maestre hills that surround and cover Santiago. His army consists of 3.SO0 men, divided into four regiments of &00 each, and a battery of artillery of six Hotchkiss 6-pounders, two Maxim guns, 12-pounders, and two Krupp field pieces, caliber not known, perhaps 12-pounders. Calixto Garcia is undoubtedly the ablest of Cuba's numerous generals. He is the most popular, for he was born on the isl and not far from Santiago, and knows that country perfectly. His father was a planter and "abagado" advocate, lawyer and notary who drew all the legal pa pers, acknowledged instruments convey ing property for town and country side for miles, and occupied the confidential position that notaries hold In Latin coun tries, where they are the custodians of all family secrets of people of consequence for leagues around. Calixto was educated In the United States at the engineering school at Troy, N. Y., and finished at the military col lege at San Sebastian, Spain, where the engineers and many of the artillery of ficers of the Spanish army are educated. He had taken up the paternal notarial seal and business at Santiago when Gen eral Burriel shot General Rvan and 53 others in 1S73. Calixto, as all Cubans call him, had expressed himself with unusual freedom at the Casino, or club, of Santi ago, touching this matter. Two nights thereafter, very late, a friend tapped at his window shutter. "You are to be arrested this morning at daybreak on the charge of high treason," said the messenger. "Burriel will make an example of you. as one in high social po sition who condemns his authority. Vara." (Go.) Garcia quietly arose, got together a few needed articles, with 200 Spanish doubloons (i3.2tx) gold and slipped out of the back garden gate. A fisherman, for whom he had purchased a lugger, was making ready to go out to the channel for his daily catch. "I want to go out with you, Paulo," said Garcia. "Hide me somewhere."" He took the only room on the boat. None of the crew, two other men to help- with the seine, and the cook, had seen him. Twen ty miles out the French mail steamerfrom Martinique to St. Nazaire, France, came in sight. The fisherman signaled her. As she hove to Garcia gave his friend the fisherman two onzas (gold ounces), and each of the men one. "You have not seen me, remember." he said, and not a word was even whispered, when they landed, for Burriel would have shot the party had he known. It was the mystery of the time how Calixto had escaped, and who warned him. His father swore he had not seen his son at all and he could not have sail ed, for no vessel had touched there for several days. The friend who warned him was a Spanish officer who was a lover of Calixto's cousin. He was on Burriel's staff and, entering his chief's private of fice while the latter was for a moment absent.- he saw the fatal warrant with Garcia's name indorsed upon it. He slip ped out at once, for such knowledge might be fatal, and waited in the officers' room till the sergeant of the guard could be called and his name sent to the general. Burriel could never imagine how the in formation was given out, for not even his military secretary knew of Garcia's im pending doom. At present Calixto Garcia is the second general in Cuba, Gomez being the first. He has four regiments of hillmen, each commanded by young, clever officers. It is the only force on the island that is nearly all uniformed and armed wlthRem ington and Springfield rifles. His artil lery is commanded by Americans who know how to use it.

Chickamauga Park, Ga, June 13. An incident occurred this morning at the camp station that will probably terminate the existence of illicit whisky shops and gambling dens which have, up to this time, been permitted by the Georgia au thorities to ply their business without let or hindrance. A private of the Twenty first Kansas, who had been drinking at the whisky dive of one Joe Baker, be came involved in a difficulty with the bar keeper. Blows followed, and Baker drew a revolver, firing pointblank at the sol dier, the bullet, it was claimed by the sol dier, striking near the left eye, inflicting a severe wound which may cause the loss of an eye. The fight attracted the attention of the throngs on the streets of the mush room town, and soon a crowd of soldiers rushed in. Baker, fearing further trou ble, had gotten out of the way. A large body of soldiers formed with the purpose of handling him severely and avenging th& Injury to their comrade, and for a while It looked as if there would be seri ous trouble. An armed guard, however, was quickly detailed by order of General Brooke, who took charge of Baker and his place and order was soon restored. The soldier was taken to the division hospital, where the surgeon investigated his injuries. He found a wound as indicated, but thought the injury had been caused by a bit of broken glass and not by a bullet, a splinter of glass being found in the eyeball. After the shooting a number of soldiers discovered that the gambling den was running a brace game and that the diffi culty between the soldier and Baker had resulted from the fact that the latter had been playing the former with loaded dice.

Drew, chairman, and coun cilmen Fred Roundtree, A. P. Benson and J. A. Dickerson, together with City Engineer Barnes met a committee of citizens this morning who objected to the proposed switch being put in by the Missouri Pacific railroad from a point 150 feet south of Seventh street leading into their pround extending from Sev enth to Fifth streets and from Adams street west to the alley. The road was represented by J. H. Horton who said "What the Missouri Pacific wishes to do is to build a new passenger and freight depot at Fifth and Adams streets and to have a switch from the main line start at a point 150 feet south of Seventh street on Adams and go in a northwest direction and enter their property at the southeast corner. From there the track will run to the new de pot. This new depot is proposed be cause the merchants of Topeka who are heavy shippers over the Missouri Pa cific refuse to go through the muddy roads during the spring and winter to the freight depot in South Topeka. When the 15 acres in South Topeka were taken by the road from the own ers it was agreed that the company should maintain two depots there. In order to build this proposed depot up town the road paid the sum of $8,00 for the 15 acres and in that way ob tained the right to move the depots." The committee of property owners living near the tracks and composed of O. W. Blood, James Carnahan, J. S. Stearns. J. IT. Grice. J. C. Langston and several ladies, all strongly objected to the proposed switch. VI t will ruin our property," said O. W. Blood.

"That is a mistake," said Judge Hor ton, "the fifteen acres in South Topeka will be used for the yards and all trains will be made up there. This part of town will never become the yards." The civil engineer of the road will be here in a few days and the action of the council will be postponed until that time. Councilman Drew when asked for his opinion said: "I am not ready to give my opinion yet. I shall give it to the council first." Councilman A. P. Benson said "I think that if the road comes in here with a switch they should buy the prop erty they damage or pay heavy dam ages." Councilman Roundtree said "I think the property owners should be allowed damages." Councilman Dickinson said "I think the road should buy the property that is damaged." Judge Horton said "The road is ready to pay any damages allowed by the courts for property that is injured but some people here who are objecting will in no way have their property damaged." CHINA'S AWAKEMXG. Pre- An Organization Forming to serve the Country. (Correspondence of Associated Press:) Shanghai, China, May 12. After the Oiina-Japanese war several reform clubs were projected by influential Chi nese looking toward the renovation of Chinese politics. One of these societies was gathering great power when it overshot the mark and was summarily annihilated by the throne. At the present date a formidable or ganization of progressive Chinese is be ing formed throughout the empire. It is to be a national organization with branches in each city and town. In one sense it is progressive and in another it is retrogressive. The correspondent has reliable information from most prominent sources that the organiza tion has the patronage of the most prominent men in the New China. The hopeful feature about this patriotic as sociation, is that its cardinal principle is the preservation of the empire. Pat riotism has been almost defunct for years and this is an attempt to rouse the people. The reactionary feature of the movement is its hatred of all things foreign. The new organization was launched by the 10.000 Literati assembled recent ly at Pekin for the examination of the doctors of degree. There are 30 articles and 25 by-laws for the organization and the preamble is as follows: "This patriotic club is formed for the defense of the empire, in view of the fact that our territory is daily sliced away, the powers of the government daily circumscribed and the people more and more oppressed, etc. They are to protect the "territory.the people and the religion." Each local club is to become the cen ter of a system of "preaching." This idea is copied bodily from the methods of the missionaries in .spread ing Christianity. It is stipulated that the Literati at each, point shall speak from texts "relating to the preserva tion of the state, the religion, the peo ple and the race." Ottawa Chautauqua.

Expressed by the Young Man Some Years Ago. rart of His Article is Repro duced Below. Washington, June 13. Naval Con structor Richmond P- Hobson's heroic feat at Santiago de Cuba has attracted attention to a remarkable article by him in which he predicts a war involving at least six European nations. He foresees a possible time when Rus sia and France will divide all Europe and much of Asia and Africa between them. This article was written in 1894 and appears in the proceedings of the Naval Institute for 1895. It is entitled "Situ ation and Outlook in Europe." Lieutenant Hobson traces the causes which have brought France and Russia into a dual alliance. He points out the forces which have brought Germany, Austria and Italy into a defensive triple alliance, but he lays much stress on the proposition that Italy is liable at any time to retire from the combination to join Russia and France or to remain a passive spectator and receive a few crumbs in the shape of a slice of Aus tria and a patch of North Africa. The writer maintains that the triple alliance is not strong enough to resist the dual alliance, and that Great Brit ain, rather than see the three central countries of Europe swallowed up by France and Russia, with the prospect of then suffering a similar fate herself, would join Germany, Austria and Italy, thus forming a quadruple alliance against the dual alliance. This leads Lieutenant Hobson to the discussion of sea power, and he makes extended comparisons of the opposing navies. He advises the ships of each navy into two classes. He puts battle ships and other heavily armored fight ing machines of the offensive sort into a standard armored class. Armored cruisers and vessels of less effective fighting qualities he puts into an "in ferior armored class." His comparisons are based on tonnage. He argues that Russia and France are of aggressive bent, while the other four nations are inclined to be passive, and he concludes the dual alliance will seek the opportune time to begin the great scheme of conquest. The plan, he thinks, will be to cripple Great Britain's sea power first, because old jealousies will blind Germany, Aus tria and Italy to their fate and they will not rush to Britain's aid. This the ory is based on the proposition that it is wise to divide an enemy and attack him by sections. Lieutenant Hobson shows by tonnage comparisons that the Brit ish navy was stronger in 1894 than the combined French and Russian vessels in both standard and inferior classes. He also credits Britain with having a great preponderance in quality, about 1.80 to 1. Judging by naval plans then known to the public he estimates the dual alliance in a few years will be stronger in both clp.sses than Great Britain's. He concludes, therefore, that Britain should strike a blow while hav ing the superior sea power, and argues that its aim should be to attack France on such grounds that Russia might be induced to hold aloof, which would break up the dual alliance by mortally offending French susceptibilities. He frankly declares there is no probability of Great Britain taking such an aggres sive course, and concludes the outlook is gloomy. He compares the armies as well as the navies and shows that the quadru ple alliance would be stronger at sea and about an equal match on land against the dual alliance. But he fears Italy is liable to quit the triple alliance, which was to expire by limitation in 1807, and Italy holds the balance of power both on land and on sea. The whole article is based on the as sumption that France and Russia are bent on territorial expansion and are only waiting an opportune moment to carry out their schemes. France, he says, is also moved by hatred of Ger many and England. In his introduction Lieutenant Hob son says: Europe, from the beginning of its history, has been the world's great battlefield. Few of its generations have passed without engaging in wars of the first magnitude; possession of its soil and predominance of its affairs have ever been contested by rival races and rival nations. But never in all its bel ligerent history has there been, as now, such an accumulation of the forces of war. A bitterness now exists between the principal western nations that has but few parallels in history, and never has invasion been so formidable as now, when the Slavonic wave of mountain like proportion is sweeping westward. Never before has there been such prom ise of war. The present generation has grown old, has expended its life in preparation, with the revolutions in the material of war and in the method of expanding the personnel, time has been necessary for preparation. It has required long and laborious years to evolve the existing engines of war, to organize into armies and exercise under arms all the able bodied men of entire nations, to perfect the weapons and means of de fense, to drop the old and develop the new; but it may be said roughly that now preparations are complete (except with Russia, whose unlimited resources for war, checked only by want of wealth, may be considered as having no limit), for the entire nations are or ganized into armies, and the uses of new agents have become more or less de fined. Further preparations will be principally in increasing population ar.d increasing wealth. Certainly improve ments will continue as always, but they will be in all probability assentially im provements, not radical changes like those of recent years. What may be termed the present or der of things, military and naval, which is such a vast advance over the old order of things so recently gone out, is now fully established, and will in all probability remain till the test of war. On the whole, the nations of Europe are prepared, and though Russia is not prepared as she would like to be, to the extent that her population would permit, yet, as will be seen below, she finds an opportunity, a discord in the western family which gives her an ally, produces an alliance which is not only prepared to accept but also soon to of fer war. There no longer exists the great retarding force of apprehension about the readiness for war. Further, the objects and policies of the nations have become established and clearly de fined, except in the case of Italy, to be considered later, and the preliminary alliances have been formed. It only remains with diplomatic strategy to de cide on the moment. No fact is so universally accepted abroad as the im minence, the very presence of war. It is a living actuality; not only every man in the armies and navies of the great powers expects to take part per sonally, but every individual with any hold on life expects to be a witness. This imminent war bids fair to in volve all of the six great nations of Europe, a population of about 324,000,000, of which about 74,000,000 are capable of bearing arms, possessing over 2,000.000 tons of war vessels afloat. In all this population there is a strong fire of pa triotism, and efforts for putting forth entire strength will be aroused by all the great passions, ambition, hate, re venge and fear of extermination. The war will be on a scale Incomparably greater than any in the world's history. The issues will be of a two-fold nature. in determining the historic rivalry of the western nations and the equally historic Russian march toward Asiatic ascendan cy. The Franco-German struggle prom ises to culminate by irreparable disaster to the vanquished, as does also the French English rivalry in African and Asiatic colonization. The English and Russian rivalry in Asia will be decided forever in case of British defeat, and will be determined for many years to come in case of Russian defeat. But there is a more far-reaching issue than that of the rivalry of nations. The Slavonic race, the last Aryan race, that has arisen in Asia and eastern Europe, is surging westward. This wave is rela tively much more formidable than any of the Aryan waves of the paKt, all of which have ultimately succeeded in supplanting the waves that had gone before and in overthrowing a higher but less rugged civilization. Recent foresight has led the Russian to cultivate the friendship of France, and has culminated in alliance. Dissension among the western nations has been taken advantage of. and Russia proposes to drive her wedge home at the moment when France also attacks the other na tions. The wedge would be driven home indeed by Franco-Russian victory, for France left alone would be powerless be fore the surging Russian wave. So the issue involves not only the perpetuation or the overthrow of the vast British em pire and of the central continental pow ers, brtt also the heritage of European soil. It will determine whether the west ern civilization, like the high civilizations of the past. has lost the ruggedness adapt ed to and necessary in this rugged world of ours. Lieutenant Hobson says in conclusion: On examining further into the events to follow the fulfillment of the aggressors' stupendous designs, whether realized easily, as just indicated, or by one of the other probable ways previously discussed, the situation takes on an awful aspect. How would the snoils of three concinents be divided by France and Russia? The population of France is less than 39.000,000; that of Russia more than 127.00J. 000. The French population has been in creasing over a lapse of fifteen years (from 1S76 to 1S91) at the mean average an nual rate of 1.32 per cent; the Russian f)opulation has been increasing over a apse of twenty years (from 1S67 to 186) at the mean average annual rate of 1.64 per cent. The Russian population is thus nearly three and one-fourth times as large as the French and is increasing four times as rapidly. (During the last fifteen years the rate of increase in France has been on a stead v decrease; it had fallen from .500 JS76 to .065 in 1MH. At the latter rate Rus sian increase is twenty-three times as great.) French temperament is and long has been strongly opposed to colonization. The Frenchman who leaves France usual ly returns. France does not care for large increase in colonial territory. and would be content with but a small share of German territory, while Russia is steadily expand ing at a rate not approached by Rome when she was advancing to her conquest of the world. For the coming war passion dominates in the bosom of the Frenchman, who is looking for revenge: ambition animates the Russian, whq is looking to the exten sion of Slavic sway. Thus, it is evident that to Rusia would fall the vast territory on two if not three continents. If Italy should sit at the feast of vic tory, which she may do, she would be sat isfied and well pleased with a compara tively meager morsel of the spoils, a modest part of the territory now belong ing to Austria and some territory in Af rica. After the feast France and Italy would perceive that they had waged the frarl cidal war in the -interests of a power, then ready, inevitably, after a short respite, to swallow them also, both at a time, or singly. To check this somber onward rush of events, there are no means on which much hope can be placed. The great, best rem edy, the dissolution of the dual alliance, does not permit hope. The alliance, found ed on complete community of immediate interests, is come to stay, and is grow ing stronger and more indissoluble each day. Only disastrous war, realized or im minently threatening, can dissolve It. No combination in Europe withoutGreat Britain's sea power could threaten or in flict such war. This sea power at the present moment could do so alone, but the opportunity is rapidly passing away. There is scarcely a shadow of hope that Great Britain will take the offensive; there is but the barest hope that she will throw her power into the trinle alliance to save herself and it. This aWiance itself from the very nature of its exclus ively defensive compact, cannot, while the dual alliance cries peace, take the offens ive and insure the later joining of the British sea power in the event of adversity. Thus the entire responsibility rests with Great Britain, and the necessity is urgent for her immediate action. Each day sees the vessels building in France and Russia nearing completion. Fifteen months hence the preponderance of power will have passed over to the enemy: the dual alli ance will be beyond the posibility of disso lution: the one opportunity of saving her self and Europe from the dread conse quence of this alliance will have passed forever. Each day will then bring nearer the day of her greatest exposure to a stronger, aggressive enemy; each day will render less probable her acceptance into the refuge of the triple alliance; each day will render more inevitable the desertion of Italy and her passing over to the en emy. If self-sufficiency, or conservatism, or want of enlightenment, or of foresight, or lack of decision, or boldness, or all com bined, cause Great1 Britain to neglect the call of duty from the crisis in her own and in the world's history; if she fails soon to throw her fleets against the ene my, neglecting to choose war while she is strone-er and while the enemy could be disintegrated, leaving the enemy to choose it when he becomes the stronger and in dissolubly united, and if she fails also to adopt the less desirable but only other al ternative of seeking refuge in the triple alliance in time for acceptance and in time to save Italy, thus leaving the road clear for the plans of the great aggressive alliance. then may heaven prepare to come down on earth to work miracles by the hands of men. may a host of guardian angels hover close over freedom and civ ilization as they tremble in the lands of their birth. In another article several years ago Lieutenant Hobson maintained that the armor on warships should be carried lower on the hulls to protect the vessels when rolling in a heavy sea, and his suggestion has been adopted.

Artist Baseebe, who won unenviable notoriety in San Francisco by bounding a little girl named Worn, and was fined for the offense, re ceived a severe lesson in the code of gal lantry on an afternon train from the me tropolis on Saturday evening a lesson that he is not likely to forget in a hurry. As a result of his practical instruction Baseebe wears a discolored optic and sev eral facial bruises. On the train with Baseebe were Frank 14 yams, the San Francisco fresco painter, and bis wife. The car was crowded and the weather intensely hot. Mrs. Hyams was obliged to sit beside Baseebe. while her husband occupied an adjoining seat. As the train neared this station Mrs. Hyams grew faint from the heat. Hyams stepped TTcross the car to raise the win dow and let in some fresh air. Baseebe expostulated. "I don't want the cinders blowing In on my clothes," said he. "'My wife is fainting." declared Hyams, "and the window must be opened." As he attempted to raise it Baseebe tried to prevent. him. whereupon Hyams emulated the most skillful exponents of the manly art in landing a series of hooks, swings and straight arm punches on the artisfs face. Kverybody applauded the act and an excited crowd at once filled the car. Baseebe managed to extricate himself and escape into a forward car. The window came up and Mrs. Hyams soon recovered from her faint. Dr. Minney Elected. Dr. J. Minney of this city was elected vice president of the American Medical association in Denver.
