THIRD EDITION. TUESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS. JUNE It, 1898. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. K I i 1 n i' .1 ARMY Army of Invasion Which Was Said to Hare Sailed Has Sot Yet Departed From Key West. NO REASON IS GIVEN. Officials at Washington Are Disappointed, But They Refuse to Discuss the Matter. "Washington, June 14. Official infor mation has reached Washington to the effect that the fleet of transports with troops for Santiago which was supposed to have left yesterday for Cuba had not sailed up to an early hour this morning. MAP OF THE No reason has been stated so far as can be learned for this very unexpected delay in the movement against Santi ago. The officials positively decline to dis cuss the matter, but clearly show by their manner that the news is most un welcome. Later: This May Be a Lie. Advices received this afternoon show that a start was actually made yes terday.but that the movement dragged and that many of the ships did not move until some time this forenoon. It Is supposed that all the vessels are now fairly under way. The public probably will be fully Informed tomorrow con cerning the movement, as the authori ties have determined to withdraw the censorship thus far enforced from Flor ida points some time tomorrow. Al lowing three days for the trip General Phafter's forces will be in the vicinity of Santiago by Friday noon and it is expected that the debarkation will take the rest of that day and night and part of the following day. With the first expedition out of the country the authorities here have quickly turned their attention to anoth er expedition even more important than this initial one. It is expected that the plans for this second invading force will be matured at once and as a result an other expedition will leave from an At lantic coast point within the next ten days this time to Porto Rico. The de tails for this movement are approaching completion. There are about fifteen transports already available and the list will be increased as rapidly as pos sible. LEITER ATTACHED. Claims For $793,925 Already Filed Against Him. New York, June 14. Justice Daly of the supreme court has issued an attachment against the property of Joseph Leiter, the wheat speculator of Chicago, for $793,925. in favor of Otto E. Lohrke, Wm. P. Cal laghan and Wm. Wright, grain dealers, for money advanced. LEE AND BAYIS. Scion, of Both. Houses Arrested for Forgery. Chicago. June 14. Perry Lee Davis, alias Phil Davis, lieutenant colonel of the Blue and Gray legion, has been arrested by deputy sheriffs, charged with forging railroad bonds to the value of $2S0.0i. The sheriff acted on requisition paper? from Governor Tanner and the governor of Marvland. Davis is a relative of General Kitzhugh Lee and Jefferson Davis. He was taken o Baltimor? bv W. B. Lvon, special messenger of "Maryland's Kover'nor, who came personally to effect Davis' ar rest. The alleged forgery took place three years ago. AN AMERICAN WINS. Beats a British. Contestant for Tennis Honors. Liverpool, June 14. The Northern Lawn Tennis championship contest opened yes terday at the Liverpool cricket grounds at Aigburth. The entries were good, all the best Knfrlish players being entered except the Baddeley brothers, whose absence is due to the illness of Mr. Wilfred Badde ley. In the preliminary round for the gen tlemen's singles Mr. Clarence Hobart of the United States beat Mr. Wolff of Liv erpool. The other contests were uninter esting. The Sporting Life says: "Mr. Hobart's victory was not brilliant ly gained and he will have to improve on this display in order to gain champion ship honors." nightWtle. All Night Long Spanish Bush whackers Pour Their Fire Into Party of Marines at Crest Hill. New York, June 14. A special dated off Cimanera, June 13, via Mole St. Nicolas, Hayti, today reports that there was a renewal on Sunday of the Span ish attacks upon the force of marines landed there on Friday last. The fighting Is said to have lasted all through Sunday night. Camp McCalla and Crest Hill being attacked by great ly superior forces of the Spanish. The U. S. battleship Texas, the gunboat Marblehead and the collier Abarenda supported the marines by directing fire upon the coast and particularly the bushes, which all through these en- PRESENT SEAT OF WAR IN CUBA. counters have served to screen the movements of the Spaniards. ON BOARD. Second Manila Expedition Has Embarked. San Francisco, June 14. Thirty-five hundred soldiers embarked today on transport steamers which are to take them to the Philippine's. It is generally expected that the fleet will sail tomor row. STORM AT CAMP THOMAS. Scores of Tents Blown Down and Sol diers Forced to Hunt Shelter. Chickamauga Park, June 14. A hard rain and wind storm played havoc with many of the camps last night. Scores of tents were blown down and hundreds of men were rushing in every direction hunting shelter. Many young trees in the park were blown down and ruined. This morning the men began work ear ly repairing the damage done and by noon everything was In good shape again. The regimental officers are taking good care to see that tents are securely fastened so that there will be no possibility of a repetition of last night's incident. A steady rain this morning caused all drills and maneuvers to be aband oned. TRYING TO SCARE TJS. London Correspondent Thinks That is "What Spain is Up To. London, June 14. The Cadiz corres pondent of the Daily Telegraph says: "In the case of the Emperador Car los, the cause of the delay is in her ord nance, the trials of which, besides being unsatisfactory, considerably damaged her. She is obliged to make repairs and modify her armaments. It is doubtful whether the government de sires to go into action at all. Probably the desire is to freighten the Americans, if possible, by rumors of imaginary movements." BLANCO WANTS SUPPLIES.. Wires Urgent Demands to the Gov ernment at Madrid. London, June 14. A dispatch fo the Morning Post from Madrid via Biarritz, France, says: "Spain's efforts for a foreign loan have failed. General Blanco wires urgent de mands for supplies, as he expects the blockade to become severer. Captain de Lasoa. late Spanish military attache at Washington, has arrived at Madrid, and i has given the government valuable infor mation ragarding the American war prep- I arations." 1 SHE SEES HIM. Mrs. J. S. Collins Tisits John Collins in Jail. Remains in His Cell With Him For an Hour. NO TEARS WERE SHED. Miss Grace Collins Accompanied Her Stepmother. Visit Made at Night to Avoid Public Curiosity. Mrs. J. S. Colilns visited her stepson, John H. Collins, at 9 oclock last night. She was accompanied by his sister. Miss Grace Collins, and they asked per mission to see John In his cell. The re quest was granted and the two women were locked in the cell where they re mained for nearly an hour. The interview is described as being tearless. John manifested no emotion when his sister and step-mother called upon him for the first time since he was locked up. Both women were dressed in black. Mrs. Collins, who has proven herself to be a woman of re markably strong character, left the jail after the interview without any show that she had passed through a trying ordeal. Miss Grace Collins" face showed traces of tears. She is the only mem ber of the Collins household who has shown any emotion since the murder. When Mrs. Collins left the jail she was seen by a reporter but declined to say anything for publication: She said firmly in reply to a question: "No, I will not say anything more. Please excuse me." The visit was made at night because of the fact that it would not then at tract any attention. There was no one in the jail at the time except the color ed turnkey and he conducted the ladies to the cell on the top floor of the jail where John Collins spends his time smoking and reading. A CURIOUS STORY. Which Chief Steele Tells, But Which is Not Corroborated. Chief of Police Henry M. Steele says that he is positive that J. S. Collins said after being" shot first: "Don't shoot me again, John," and after the second shot he said to his wife, "Helen, shield my boy." Chief Steele says he is positive that J. S. Collins talked, and that he, as well as Mrs. Collins, saw the murderer. He claims that he secured evidence to bear this out before he dropped the case af ter being condemned for his action at the Topeka cemetery. "It was the young man's intention, to kill both his father and his stepmoth er," continued the chief. "The first load was fired into the father. It did not kill him, and the young man did not waste the other load on his stepmother. He poured it into his father's shoulder. As he raised the gun to fire the second shot, his father pleaded: "Don't shoot me again, John. But John pulled the trigger and his father sank back in bed and urged his wife to shield the boy. That is why Mrs. Collins is maintaining such silence. She is complying with the wishes of a dying husband. "There probably never was a greater rounder in Topeka than young Collins." said he. "Although he was a great so ciety young man, he was continually making the rounds of the toughest dives in the town. He almost always went alone. One of his favorite resorts was a low-down negro dive on Smoky Row, kept by a woman who hangs out with Jordan. Scarcely a week passes but what somebody is robbed there. I be lieve that Collins lost his watch there, and that the proprietress gave it to her 'fellow' Jordan. She was with Jordan at Newton when arrested, and the watch was found on her." AGAINST COLLINS ESTATE. Claim Filed by Emma Peterson Who Says She Lent J. S. Collins $500. A claim for $500 has been filed in the probate court by Attorney H. J. Adams against the J. S. Collins estate. Emma Peterson claimed to have let the de ceased have $500, which she claims he owed her at the time of his death. The claim was admitted in the estate by Judge Dolman. Shortly afterward Mr. Adams appeared before the court and asked that the claim be returned to him and not filed. He gave no reason for wishing this done. Judge Dolman denied the request but said that in case he did not wish further action ta ken on it he could leave it there with that request. This was accordingly done. It is the first claim for money made in the probate court in the Collins estate. It is more than probable, how ever, that other claims will be filed in the estate. H. J. Adams, in explaining his action, said today: "I filed the claim for ny client. I learned afterward that she had changed her mind, and under in structions I went to see the court and ask that the claim be returned." "Did Emma Peterson consult with the family?" was asked. "No, I think not." "Was the claim settled?" "No, it was not, but further than this I do not know of it." The claim was that the money was in J. S. Collins' possession on deposit, probably to be used in making invest ments. Emma Peterson lives west of Washburn college. STEELE DIVULGES. A Conversation Between Him and Mrs. Collins Directly After the Murder. Chief of Police Henry M. Steele today gave ito a State Journal reporter some new information in the Collins case, which he secured but has held back, ex pecting to use it in the trial of the case. On the morning of the murder he had a talk with Mrs. Collins, Grace Collins and John H. Collins. The four were together in the room and were telling the story of the murder. Chief Steele says that on the day before the murder John Collins return ed to the city and ate dinner with the family, and that on that occasion he and his father had some words which resulted in trouble. Today he said for publication: "I sat there with Mrs. Collins and John and Grace. Mrs. Collins told me that on the day before the murder she had taken John's part in a little dis agreement he had with J. S. Collins. She said that her husband spoke cross ly to her and that she wept over it after dinner. John, she said, lost his appetite and Mr. Collins noticed it and said to him: 'You are making your own stomach, John. If you aren't well, it is your own fault.' I asked John what he meant by that, and he said: 'I sup pose he found out that I was drinking some.' "Mrs. Collins told me that was the first time she had had trouble with her husband, and that that evening when he came home he apologized to her. "Now, I am just as positive as I am of anything that John intended to shoot them both. The position of the shots and everything indicates that. John was down to see me a few days before his arrest, but I was not here, and didn't get to see him. I'll tell you, I have held all along that John was guilty, and I know that he is. They are all coming to my theory. It Is working out just right." CRACK BRAINED THEORIES Advanced by People Who Have Time to Think Them Up. The story that J. S. Collins consulted with Dr. W. H. Wasson on the even ing before the murder in regard to a misunderstanding? about the handling of funds of the Masonic Mutual Benefit association has been sprung, it is said, by attorneys for John Collins. Dr. Wasson is indignant that he should be drawn into the matter in this way, and he denounces the attempt as one with the purpose of blackening the charac ter of J. S. Collins so that his son may "be benefitted. The story goes that J. S. Collins ac counted for funds of the association once in three months, and that Dr. Wasson urged him to account once a month. This part of the story is not denied. But right here there enters a theory which it appears has been brought forward by the friends of John Collins. They say that if J. S. Collins had agreed to settle up with the association on Friday morning, had made engage- BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF THE SANTIAGO SITUATION. v.oo 7 ji3? Now that Rear Adimral Sampson and Commodore Schley have smashed Morro Castle, Socapa Castle and the other Santiago and Aguadores batteries the reduction of the city by the land forces of the United States will doubtless quickly follow. From Aguadores, the lEfhding place of United States troops, to Santiago is 14 miles.and the Spaniards, who are said to" be well equipped with field artillery, will undoubtedly contest every foot of ground. ments to make other settlements, etc., he was probably worried in making the arrangements. John Collins, they say, probably saw this uneasiness in his father, and he knew considerable of his father's financial affairs. If he had murder in his heart, then it is claimed, he could have easily grasped the situation, knowing that the theory of suicide would be strong when the facts of his financial troubles became known. But the circumstantial evidence shows that the suicide theory is not plausible. Many rumors have been set afloat, it is not known by whom, on just such lines as this. It has not been by any of the officers and the natural inference is that it was done by friends of John Collins. It is known that the attorneys for the defense have been doing hard work in preparing defense. A JOHNSON JORDAN LETTER. Which It is Said Was Written by John Collins. Attorney W. L.

Spain Still Hopes for William's Interference. London, June 14. The Madrid corres pondent of the Standard says: "There is a hopeful feeling here that Germany will interfere in the Philip pines. The Berlin correspondent of the Times remarks that "with four warships al ready at Cavite, and with the Darm stadt on'the way with fourteen hundred men Germany will have a force of 3,000 marines at Manila." TO RUN THE BLOCKADE. A Schooner is Being Fitted Out for That Purpose. New York, June 14. The agent of the Cuban republic at Nassau, has advised the cuban delegation in this city that an attempt will be made in the near fu ture by a Spanish schooner, at that port to carry provisions to the Spanish army in Cuba, The name of the schooner which is expected will attempt to run the blockade is the Belenceta from Nuevitas. The Belenceta upon her arrival at Nassau had on board eight Spanish passengers. The Belenceta was finally sold to a man named Var gas who is a British subject. On this account he obtained a British register for the schooner and he has recently been engaged in fitting out the boat with provisions. It is expected that the vessel will clear for Monte Cristi. San to Domingo, but will change her course and attempt to run the blockade on the north coast of Cuba. NO THOUGHT OF PEACE Until Porto Rico and Cuba are Captnred. Washington, June 14. There are evi dences in administration circles that the president is not seriously considering the question of peace at the present mo ment. There are evidences that Spain is sounding several European countries with a view of ascertaining what can be done in the direction of peace, but all the authorities insist that no direct proposition has yet come from any quarter, and they are pushing the war as vigorously as possible, without pay ing the slightest heed to reports of peace negotiations. The president's recent dispatches to Gens. Miles and Shafter, if made pub lic would -leave no room for doubt of his intention to take possession of Porto Rico and to drive Spain from Cuba be- fore listening to peace propositions. It may safely be stated that no terms short of Spain's evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico will now be considered by the president. SPANISH SHIPS SAIL. Three of Them Leave Xiiv erpool for St Johns, N. B. London, June 14. Three Spanish steamers lying at Liverpool, recently the Gallego, Navarro and Palestine, re named the Comin, La Juno and Pales tro, have sailed, bound for St. John, New Brunswick, according to the ad vices obtainable. ALDRICH RE-ELECTED. Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews Receives Complimentary Votes. Newport, R. I., June 14. United Sen ator Nelson W. Aldrich was re-elected by the legislature today on the first ballot.

Ottawa,' Kan., June 14 The twentieth annual session of the Ottawa Chau tauqua assembly was formally declared open .at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, by acting president. Rev. H. W. Chaffee. The attendance is fairly good, but the heavy rain Saturday night retarded the work a little. Dr. J. L. Hurlbut, President H..W. Chaffee, Dr. Graham Taylor, Prof. L. S. Leason, Prof. John B. DeMotte, Prof, and Mrs. Behr and orchestra, and Mrs. Huff have all arrived and assumed their duties. Everything moves like clock work. The Woman's council was opened by an address by Mrs. Lena Fuller. The evening lecture was the highly interest ing scientific talk of Prof. DeMotte of the "Harp of the Senses." It was very instructive. A portion of the evening was given over to scenes by the pro jectoscope and it gained a reputation of being highly entertaining. WANTS US TO TAKE IT. Spain is Anxious That' United States Should Occupy Manila. Vienna, June 14. The Neue Freie Presse say3 today that Spain has requested the powers to urge the United States to occu py Manila with American troops should the town surrender, and not allow the city to fall into the hands of the insurgents. TANNER'S SON. He "Accepts" a Colonelcy of an Illi nois Regiment. Chicago, June 14. Lieutenant Col onel Bangs of the Canadian-American regiment has received a telegram from Springfield, 111., stating that Gov ernor Tanner's son, J. Mack Tanner, has accepted a cplonelcy of the regi ment. Owing to this fact there is lit tle doubt that this regiment will be called out immediately. A CRISIS NEAR. Days of the Sagasta Cabinet Are Nearing an End. London, June 14. The Paris corres pondent of the Morning Post says: "I learn from a trustworthy source that the days of the Sagasta cabinet are numbered. It is said the cabinet is aware the torpedo boat destroyer Ter ror has been lost and despite denials It is rumored that there is further news from Cuba. Senor Silvela, leader of the dissident conservatives, is regarded as the coming man. The Carlists are en rolling adherents and startling develop ments are expected." CHEWED HIS FINGER. Arkansas City Horse Thief Shows Fight When Arrested. Arkansas City, June 14. Police of ficers arrested Ray Coover at the Santa Fe yards and he is now in jail. The charge against him now is horse steal ing. Constable Franey and his assist ant, "Will Gray, went to the yards to get him. Young Coover was located on top of some box cars. The officers then concealed themselves until Wm. Slink could engage him in conversation. Slink took his lantern and went along the top of the cars until he came up with Coover and began talking to him. While they were talking Constable Franey climbed up the side of the box car which they were on. As the officer landed on the top Slink grabbed Coover and 'was holding him until the officer could get hold of him. Franey in the darkness made a misstep and fell off of the car, and in scuffling to get away Coover jerked loose and also fell off. Slink then jumped off and caught Coover and threw him down and held him until Will Gray arrived and took the lad in charge. In the scuffle Coover got Slink's finger in his mouth and chewed it unmercifully. At the Methodist Episcopal church, corner of Harrison and Sixth avenue, at noon today, occurred the marriage of Mr. William K. Ward and Miss Rosa E. Caraher, well known young people of Topeka.

David Martin May Be Named for Associate Jnstice By the Fopulist Convention to Meet Here Tomorrow. WELL DEFINED MOVE On Part of Silver Republicans in This Direction. A Man Named Weinshank Wants Riddle Turned Down. A well defined movement has already been started to turn down Associate Justice S. H. Allen and nominate David Martin in his place. There are few among the prominent Populists already in the city who think that anything will come from the movement but it is being talked never theless. Even Bob Semple who is train ing with the antis this year says that the opposition to Allen will probably be dissipated when the delegates ar rive. Judge Bashofe who has been in To peka for some time said today: "A movement has been started to turn down Allen for David Martin. It has started considerable talk but I do not know what will come of it. I would not be surprised if it would be done." The basis for the talk is that the Free Silver Republicans should be given a place on the state ticket and that this will give them the recognition they desire and at the same time re move a judge who has not always de cided things the way the Populists wanted them decided. Webb McNall who is chairman of the Free Silver Republican committee said today: "I do not believe that the Sil ver Republicans will demand a place on the ticket this year. Of course I am not prepared to say what the conven tion will do but it is my opinion that the Populist ticket will be nominated. I have heard of the opposition to Allen. I think it started in Clay county where the Populists were jlown on Allen be cause of his not standing by Doster in the decision on the investigations. I haerd one of the Clay county delegates talking about the anti-Allen move ment." The Populist convention will be called to order at 11 o'clock tomorrow. Who will be chairman is a question that has not yet been determined. It was at first intended that Chief Justice Doster should preside but at the last moment He declined the position saying that he did not think it would be proper for a man in his position to be chairman of the convention; Since then the powers have been casting around for some one to take his place but nothing has yet been done. The men who are mentioned in connection with the position are Chris Hoffman of Enterprise, John Madden of Emporia and Grant Har rington of Hiawatha. The presiding officer will be named at a caucus of the delegates which will probably be held tomorrow morning be fore the convention. The anti-Leedy-ites have not yet shown a disposition to take a hand in the organization but they may do so. R. H. Semple said to day that the delegates who are opposed) to Leedy will hold a caucus tomorrow morning when a canvass will be made to ascertain what position they are to take and what is their strength. The anti-Leedy wing has not yet de cided who it will support against Leeay for the nomination. It will be decided at the caucus what will be done and it may be that no one will be placed be fore the convention. When Mr. Semple) was asked what is the strength of the opposition he said: "We may have enough to defeat Leedy. I don't know how many votes we will have." n-i -r,,nl;a o haira talipn hilt littll ti i iir: j iijuiii.M .i i interest in the nomination of a candi- date fcr lieutenant governor, xne piara now is to force the Democratic nomi nation upon David Overmyer. It is reasonably certain that Mr. Overmyer will accept the nomination if he thinks that his name on the ticket will help the fusion forces succeed but he is the Father of Eugene Wolfe's boom and naturally will not consent to be a parly to any scheme to make himself the nominee. David Overmyer wants to be United! States senator and if he accepts the nomination of lieutenant governor it will not interfere with his one ;rraat aim in life. He will do all in his power to help the fusion forces and when the time comes he will ask to be mads United States senator. If they want to offer him on the altar of sacrifice he is ready. J. G. Johnson, who stopped in Topeka few minutes on his way to Atchison is an earnest advocate of the nomination of Mr. Overmyer and he is also in tavor of nominating the entire Popuiist tick et. When he was asked what the Atch ison convention will do he said: "My opinion is that the entire ticket will be nominated by our convention. I am satisfied that Mr. Overmyer can have the nomination of lieutenant governor if he wants it." The opposition to the nomination of Secretary of State Bush seems to have entirely died out. There is still, a whis per that the free silver convention will refuse to endorse him but if. is more likely that he will be nominated by all three conventions with little opposi tion. On Riddle's Trail. Frank Weinshank of the live stock sanitary board is here with a scalping knife on the trail of Taylor Riddle. He and Riddle are old enemies and Wein shank has announced that he will re sign from the board rather than serve with Riddle. What Weinshank wants now is to have Riddle deposed as chair man of the state central committee and he is here to see that that is done. "I do not care who is put at the head of the state committee." said Wein shank, "just so he is a.i honest man. I do not know who will be favored by the opposition to Riddle, but we will get together on a man who will be satis factory. The election of Riddle as state chairman means a loss of at least 4,000 Populist votes. The cattlemen are all down on him and they will vote against the ticket if he is placed at the head of the committee. He has undone all the good Boyle has accomplished for the stockmen in the stock yards case." Mr. Riddle appears perfectly com placent. "I am not anxious to be chair man of the committee," said he, "but I do object to being turned down by the people who are fighting me. The (.Continued on Sixth Page.)

HE OVERJHD IT. Leiter Puts the Price of Wheat Too High. Pillsbury Gives His Tier? of the Collapse. YOUNG MAX IS GREEDY Could Have Made Big Money by Being Moderate. Mills Are Now Expected to Buy Wheat Again. Minneapolis, Minn., June 14.-r-The big break in wheat has caused much ex citement on "change and among the grain men. Leiter's -failure to carry the load which he attempted to handle may have been expected by some, but to the great majority it came as a sur prise. The statement that northwestern banks would be affected by the action of Leiter ia not true, at least to any appreciable degree. C. A. Pillsbury, asked in regard to his opinion of the break, its causes' and re sults, said: "The cause of the break in wheat was that Mr. Leiter attempted to carry too heavy a load and put the price of wheat too high. If he had never at tempted to put the price above $1.40. he would probably have won out great money, as it was legitimately worth that. But when the market did not come up to his expectations he kept in creasing his load, and I understood there were nearly seven million bushels sold in Chicago yesterday on his ac count. "Of course offering such an enormous quantity of wheat on the market at one time depressed prices, and it is strange to me that it has not depressed them more. And while this is being sacrificed on the market prices will be temporarily as much lower than they legitimately should be as they have been higher than they legitimately should have been. Wheat is worth leg timately 25 cents more than it closed at yesterday and in my opinion will be selling at about that much when the liquidation owing to the scare is over. In a few days the mills will be as eager for wheat at a dollar a bushel and up wards as they have been apathetic con cerning it at $1.40 and upwards." President Chamberlain of the Securi ty National bank said the banks of the northwest were not put to any incon venience on account of Mr. Leiter, as he has no dealings with them. The most persistent rumors connect ed Messrs. Pillsbury and Peavey, of this city, with the deal. The latter gentleman, however, claimed to be totally ignorant of the cause for the trouble. Leiter has some wheat In Mr. Peavey's Duluth elevators, which is the only interest the two have in com mon. Leiter is said to own most of the contract wheat in Minneapolis and Duluth in public stocks and the Leiter cash interests will be a feature in trad ing for some time to come. It is true also that Minneapolis will be drawn upon for export wheat from now on, or till the decline is checked. COAST PATItOL DELAY. Admiral Erben and Naval Reserves Officers Clash. New Tork, June 14. The delay of the government to provide a suitable har bor and coast patrol fleet creates dis content among shippers. It is said that a disagreement between Admiral Krben, who commands the Atlantic coast and harlor fleet, and the naval reserves is likely to cause more trouble. Congress delayed the passage of the house resolution providing for the $3, 000,000 and giving authority to enlist naval reserves for patrol duty and it was in the president's hands nearly a week. When he did sign the resolu tion Admiral Erben announced that the work of providing men and vessels would be accomplished at once. Two weeks have elapsed, but the patrol fleet still remains incomplete. Now comes the rumored fight be tween the naval reserves and the naval officers who are looking for commands. Admiral Krben is refusing to give naval reserve officers responsible com mands. Commander Jacob W. Miller, the head of the New York naval re serves, has gone to Washington to lay the matter before the president. Neither Admiral Erben nor the of ficers of the reserves will discuss the question, but it is well known that naval reserve officers have been re duced in rank. SIGSBEE IN WAX. Captain of tlie St Paul Sees Himself as Others See Him. New York, June 14. While the scout ship St. Paul was coaling at Tompkins ville this week Captain Sigsbee found time to go up to the place of amuse ment where wax figures wer exibited, just to have a look at himself there in wax. "It's a right novel sensation," he re marked to a friend, "the meeting your self face to face for the first time. I don't know that I quite like it. "The wargraph is worse though. In the moving picture you see yourself walking toward yourself until you are quite beside yourself. At first sight it is most alarming. It gave me a cold chill. "My own tailor made that coat for that wax doll, and I wanted to see how the uniforms he made have been look ing all these years. Either the doll is better built than I am or else that tailor knows his business. The coat fits like a glove. It would have been a godsend down in Havana, when I was wearing borrowed coats after my own were gone. The wax doll rather had the best of me." MISS LONG A NURSE. Secretary's Daughter Ministers to Volunteer Soldiers. Washington, June 14. A substantial evidence of self sacrifice for the sake of country is offered by the taking up of a military nurse's duties by the daugh ter Secretary Long, Miss Margaret Long, together with some of her chums at the Johns Hopkins medical school of Baltimore. The young women who go with Miss Long are Dorothy Reid, Mabel Austin, daughter of ex-Governor Austin of Minnesota, and Mabel Sims. They have already reported to the na val hospital at Brooklyn to nurse the wounded and sick sailors who were sent from Sampson's fleet on the Solace.

Failure of Company Compels Her to Resume Editorial Work. New York, June 14. The failure of the Arkell Publishing company, which publishes Judge, Frank Leslie's Illus trated Weekly, and other periodicals, was as great a surprise to Mrs. Frank Leslie who is one of the largest stock holders in the company, as it was to the general public. "I was- never more astonished in my life than when I heard that the Arkell company failed," said Mrs. Leslie at her home, in the Gerlach. "I cannot understand what caused the failure, for since war began the cir culation of Frank Leslie's Illustrated AVeekly has increased and the publisher has been obliged to print from 50,000 to 60,000 extra copies above the regular edition. "I have perfect faith In Mr. Arkell's Integrity and that in time everything will come out all right. With his In dustry and honesty he cannot help com ing to the front. I hold $103,500 worth of stock In the Arkell Publishing com pany, given as security for a third of the purchase money of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly. "This failure will change my entire life. It will induce me to return to ac tive work. I leased Frank Leslie's Pop ular Monthly to a syndicate and I've resolved today to take the presidency of this company and devote myself to the editorial management, of the Popu lar Monthly. "This is the first summer in 14 years that I have not gone abroad. I was making preparations to go to Europe, but my plans have been changed by the Arkell failure and I shall remain in New York and prepare for my work as the head of the Frank Leslie Publishing company." STARTED TO CANADA. Kidnappers Steal a Chicago Boy Traced to St. PauL Chicago, June 14. Gerald Laplner, the baby who was kidnapped from its home on Memorial Day, is believed to be enroute to Canada. Information has reached the police department that the little one had been thaced as far as St. Paul. It was authoritatively stated that a man had been seen at that point with the baby in his possession and had de parted with the child in the direction of the Canadian line. The authorities wired the police authorities at Winni peg, Manitoba, to take them in charge upon their arrival. The St. Paul po lice wired that the man answering the description sent out had stopped at the Sherman house in St. Paul under the name of John Marsh and had departed before Chief Goss could order his ar rest. Marsh answers to the description of the man known as R. J. Smith, who re cently departed from Aurora for Canada, and the description of the child tallies with that of Gerald Lapin er. The man's description is identical with that of the man who met the mysterious woman and child at Oregon, 111., and the police are confident they are on the right track and will restore the missing baby within a few days.

HOLDING TI1EIR OWN By the Aid of Gunboats in the Harbor, Which Keep Up a Steady Fire on the Woods. (Copyright, 1S93, by the Associated Press.) Off United States Camp, Guantanamo Bay, Sunday, June 12. noon (via Kingston, Jamaica, June 14.) When the Associated Press dispatch boat Dauntless left Guan tanamo bay, early this morning, after the thirteen hours' skirmish between the United States marines under Lieutenant Colonel K. W. Huntington, and the Span ish guerrillas and regulars, it was expect ed that the righting would be renewed. The Marblehead was landing reinforce ments and nothing had been heard from the advance pickets under Lieutenant Colonel Wendell C. Neville and Lieutenant Melville J. Shaw. At 9 o'clock the firing was again renew ed by the Spaniards, who appeared off the camp on the edge of a small island, about a mile to the northeast. It was promptly returned bv the rides and 3-inch Held gun, and In a short time all signs of the enemy had disaoDeared. Colonel Huntington then sent to the landing for a second 3-inch gun, which was dragged up the hill and placed in position at the summit. The skirmish lints thrown around the camp kept up a popping all the morn ing, but with not much result to show for it. Meanwhile the Marblehead left the harbor and threw a few shells into the woods. To the great delight of the marines in camp. Lieutenants Neville and Shaw with 30 men of company D returned in good shape, but much exhausted with IS hours' picket duty. One man. Sergeant Smith of company K, had been shot through the abdomen and Instantly killed. For most of the day and night Lieutenants Neville and Shaw had been surrounded by a much superior force, but men and officers be haved splendidly, and, although the firing o the Spaniards was constant and heavy. Lieutenant Neville's detachment held Us own, inflicting much more damage than it sustained. At least live Spaniards are known to have been killed, and as Lieu tenant Neville and men kept up a steady fire throughout the night and the enemv was not at a great distance, it is believed that the Spanish casualties were heavy. The battleship Texas arrived this morn ing and sent ashore 40 marines and two automatic Colt guns as reinforcements. The Marblehead also sent an additional small detachment. Private Bartholomew McGowan will lose his hand, which was shattered by a bullet. Amputation will be necessary. The Marblehead's pilot, who was shot through th leg while guid ing the cruiser out of the harbor this morning, held the rank of Colonel in the Cuban service. MEBEITT HAS ENOUGH. No More Eegiments will Be Ordered to San Francisco. New York, June 14. The war depart ment has no present Intention of send ing any more troops to San Francisco for the Philippines expedition than have already been ordered there, says the Washington correspondent of the Times. Gen. Merritt announced before he left New York that he wanted at least 20, 000 men to take to Manila and that he intended to have that number. It was generally accepted here that Gen. Mer ritt won his point and that the depart ment promised him the men he asked for. It is now stated that Instead of the 20,000 men he has counted on, only 16, 000 have been assembled at San Fran cisco arid that the future governor gen eral of the Philippines is getting uneasy about the other 4,000. Adjutant General Corbin has several times recently, in response to direct in quiries, stated that it was not intended to send any more troops to the Philip pines than those already selected for that work. He was asked the same question today in view of San Fran cisco reports about Gen. Merritt in sisting on more men and he answered again that there were no intentions of ordering any more additional regiments to Manila at this time. If the asser tion telegraphed from San Francisco is correct that 16.000 troops are already massed there, counting those who have gone to Manila, it is estimated that the recruiting of these regiments to their, maximum strength as it being done un der the second call will eventually raise the strength of the force is very nearly 20,000. It Is thought to be probable that the war department is depending upon this means to nil it out as tne recruits can be sent on after the transports have left with the regiments to which, they belong. DESERTS SILVER. Tammany Throws tbe Chicago Plat form Overboard. New York, June 14. Tammany, the controlling power of the present city administration, has gone over to the gold standard and next Tuesday will repudiate the financial principles of the Chicago platform. It was admitted at the city hall today that the entire issue of J27,00o.uuu of bonds authorized during the last three days, was to be made payable in gold coin of the present standard of weight and fineness. The Tammany leaders were anxious that the first bonds sold by the present administration should bring a premium. Bond buyers were consulted, and they said very positively that coin bonds could not be sold for as much" as bonds payable in gold. That decided the Tam many, leaders and the order for gold bonds was issued. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart of Groton, S. D.

The many cable lines and the resultant competition have brought the cost of communica tion between New York and London down to a fairly low figure, 25 cents per word, but when one tries to reach more remote parts of the world, where the line is controlled by a single gov ernment, or company, or where there is little business to support it, the cost of sending messages mounts to alarm ing figures. To send ten words from New York to Manila, for instance, costs $23.50, or $2.35 per word beyond Lon don. This is the commercial rate. Newspaper dispatches go for about half this sum, but, even so.the cost of bring ing a column of news from the Philip pines mounts up to nearly four figures. Even from a point so near as Curacoa, which became for a short time the cen ter of news interest, the commercial rate by the cheapest route is $1.98. These two samples will give a fair intimation of the Immense sums being expended by the newspapers in gathering in formation about the war. It may seem at first thought that $2.35 is large sum to pay for sending a single word from New York to the Philippines, but when one reflects that such a message travels 20,000 miles.and that it must be received and transmit ted over a score of different lines or branches,' he is more likely to come to the conclusion that it- is very cheap, all things considered. From New York the cablegram goes first to Halifax, and from there by another loop to Heart's Content, Newfoundland, where it dives beneath the Atlantic to reap pear on the coast of Ireland and be again forwarded to London, which is the great center of cable and telegraph communication for the whole world. From London to the east there are two great routes. The first, via either the eastern or Indo-European com pany's lines, will take the message across the channel and overland to Marseilles, or by the all-water course around the Spanish peninsula, stopping at Lisbon; thence through the Mediter ranean to Alexandria, across Egypt by land, down the Red sea to Aden, through the Arabian sea to Bombay, over India by land, across the Bay of Bengal to Singapore, along the coast cf Hong Kong, and across the China sea to Manila. The other route from London is even lonser and covers a much greater part of the journey by lapd. It takes the message from London by the lines of the Great Northern company across Russia and Siberia to Vladlvostock, and thence along the China coast to Hong Kong. CAME BACK RICH. Good Fortune Comes to a Man After Eighteen Years. Buffalo, N. Y., June 14. Eighteen years ago Arthur Bride disappeared from his home in Tonawanda. His friends never heard from him during the years of absence. His parents thought he was dead. Two days ago he returned to Tonawanda a wealthy man. Bride came direct from Dawson City, in the Klondike. He was one of the first to enter fw gold fields and struck it rich. He says he controls three val uable claims and has taken $300,000 out of one of them. To substantiate his claims he displayed some of the prec ious gold nuggets. Bride left without a dollar. He prospected in British Columbia in 18S7, discovered a rich claim and sold it for $9,000, then left for parts farther north. Later he went to Dawson City. Bride says that several of the richest mines in the Klondike were discovered in 1873. Their owners worked them quietly and kept their rich find a secret for many years. Bride left Dawson City two months ago. He came back for the purpose of arranging for the shipment of heavy mining machinery to Alaska. He will return with it. WAR AND CHEWING GUM. The Tax Imposed Will Not Increase Prices. Chicago, June 14. The imposition of a war tax on chewing gum will not have the effect of raising the price. The American Association of Chewing Gum manufacturers has said it, and dealers may take notice. This -action was ta ken at a recent meeting neiu in cuaaiu, N. Y., when new officers were elected and other important business transact ed. .The war tax calls for 4 cents on every dollar of the retail price. This, on the present output, would amount to $525. 000. As the raw gum pays the govern ment an import tax of $350,000 a year, the total for next year from this source should be at least $875,000. The manufacturers pledge them selves to see that the wholesalers watch the dealers and forbid them to raise the price per package which pre vails at present. Those not complying will soon find themselves without gum. There were 22 manufacturers at the Buffalo meeting and their output is about 85 per cent of all chewing gum sold in the country. N. E. A.

Acquiesces in the Decision of the Supreme Court. WHIPPING OF PUPILS. Board Stands by Its Teachers on General Principles. Bat It Is Safe to Say That There AVill Be Very Little if Any More "Lick ing" in Topeka Schools. The Topeka board of education last evening in special session decided to abide by the decision made by the su preme court and to make no further fight against state uniformity of text books. It has been a long fight, and the recent decision whereby the order was found to be correct, moved the court to issue a peremptory order of mandamus requiring the board to con form to the law. It was under this or der that the board gracefully submit ted. President J. W. Priddy made the fol lowing report: "I regret to report to the board of education that in the text-book case brought by the state of Kansas against this board a decision has been reached by the supreme court, and that that de cision is adverse to our interests in the case, sustaining a law which we believe is not In the best interests of our schools. "The supreme court has ordered that a peremptory writ of mandamus be issued compelling our board of educa tion to use the books adopted by the state text-book commission. This board of education entered into a defense of its contracts because it believed that the contracts which it held were legal contracts, and that they had been entered into in good faith on the part of both parties to the contract. "Inasmuch as we are law abiding, and are at all times ready to obey the mandates of a legally constituted tri bunal, we submit to this decision of the supreme court." The Laptad case came up before the board last evening and it was disposed with in as diplomatic a way as an ob jectionable clause could be sidetracked at a Republican convention. In other words, it had been arranged before the meeting. Rev. M. C. Long was the mediator. Instead of spreading a fine coat of whitewash over the affair and lauding the teachers concerned, the fol lowing resolution was introduced by the minister from the Second ward, which was quickly and unanimously adopted without comment: "Resolved, That this board of educa tion believes in standing by its teachers at all times, except in cases where it is clearly shown that they are absolutely in the wrong. "That we believe in reference to the case of Mrs. Sturgis and Mrs. Price that it scarcely would be warrantable action on the part of the board, and just to the teachers to consider serious ly the matter of dropping them from the teaching force on account of the punishment of little Maude Bear. How evre. we feel that teachers throughout the city should follow strictly the spirit and letter of the rule governing cor poral punishment. "That, in this case of corporal punish ment the evidence shows that the prin cipal was not present, as required by the rule on corporal punishment, and that we request these teachers in the future to be careful in their observance of said rule." Mrs. Price and Mrs. Sturgis were re elected for next year. After opening the bids for school desks the board retired to a grade room where they inspected several patterns of school desks. Each repre sentative was allowed fifteen minutes in which to explain the superior ad vantages of his desk above all others. The board after hearing all the agents, lor-irferi t.i award the contract for fur- j nishing 3.500 single desks to the Grand Rapids i urniture company, j. will come in sizes appropriate to the grade use. They will be finished in maple and real cherry and have the most improved ball bearing seat hinge, and close automatically as the scholar arises The board secured a very close price on the contract. The seats will be laid down in Topeka for about $1.60 each. The company agrees to take in exchange at a reasonable figure 1.S00 old desks now In use in the schools. Some of these old desks were manu factured thirty years ago and when they break, new castings can not be purchased to repair them. The desks purchased by the board are handsome as well as being among the best on the market. JUSTICE BREWER'S MECE From Asia Minor, a Delegate to the i i Missionary Union. Clifton Springs, X.

Supreme Court Refuses to Compel the City to Pay Them. The supreme court has refused to srant the writ to compel the city treasurer to pay Sanitary Sergeant Mitchell and inci dentally the other policemen who were held to be in excess of the number allow ed by law by judge Hazen. The court did not enter into the merits of the case. It simply decided that a suit in mandamus to compel the payment of the money was not the proper method of procedure. As the matter stands the only thing for the policemen to do is to sue the city and after that is decided, if against them, they may appeal to the supreme court. Fair at Winnipeg. Washington, June 14.

Yill NEW LINE FOR 310 J ATE Santa Fe Man Calls Attention to Pullmans Bearing Spanish Names, and Suggests a Boycott. "The purchase of the Colorado Mid land road by the Santa Fe is more than a possibility," said a prominent Santa Fe official in this city today. "If things continue to work out as they have started the Midland will undoubtedly become a part of the Santa Fe system in the near future. "Western Colorado is rapidly coming to the front as a fruit growing terri tory," he continued, "and conservative men believe that within the next few years it will surpass any other western territory in the output of certain kinds of fruit. The Colorado Midland is the line into this territory, and it would prove a valuable acquisition to the Santa Fe. As it now stands it is not a valuable or even a paying property.and railroad men would not be surprised at any time to see it go into receiver's hands again. It was not a paying property when it was under lease by the Santa Fe, but I think the present Santa Fe management would be able to make it a valuable western Colorado line. "It is known that the Santa Fe man agement is expecting to do a big fruit business out of Colorado in the future, and it is also known that the purchase of the Colorado Midland has been con templated. The Santa Fe can buy in the property at a reasonable figure at any time." It is a common saying among railroad men that none of the Colorado roads pay except the Denver Rio Grande. This- is the "home" road in Colorado, and is said to be favored by the state. Since getting out of the receiver's hands, the Colorado Midland has had hard work keeping its head above wa ter. GETTING SILLY. A Railroad Man Urges the Public to Avoid Spanish Named Pullmans. Said a railroad man yesterday: "Why don't you mention something about the Spanish names on tne Pullman coaches. I have noticed particularly since the war begun that this company has sent these cars west only when neces sity compelled them to. There is the 'Queen Regent,' the 'Alfonso.' the 'Ca diz,' the 'Blanco,' the 'Castile, 'the 'Mer cedes,' the 'Seville,' and the 'Andalusia.' All these coaches are scattered through out the country in the Pullman service and should be stopped because they suggest eminent personages of or places in Spain." While this seems a small matter to discuss at present, American patriot ism has asserted itself on even smaller matters in time of peace and it's a hard matter to guess what they will do in war times. Anti-Spanish feeling can become idiotic. Why not charge the name of La Junta and Albuquerque, San Fran cisco and California? The "Its" are getting too much in evidence in this Spanish-American matter. An "it" is a creature with a vacuum where his brain ought to be. KANSAS CITY TO DALLAS $5.00. South-western Lines Pool to Prevent Another Such Condition. An agreement for the maintenance and adjustment of passenger rates in the state of Texas will be put into effect by the Texas lines tomorrow un der the recently organized Southwest ern Passenger bureau. George T. Nicholson, passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe, and John Sebastian, general passenger agent of the Rock Island, are at the head of the bureau, and Charles Pratt, who has been at the head of the immigration bureau of the Western Passenger association in New York, has been selected as chairman. If the new bureau accomplishes what is hoped it will it will be the first of many attempts in this direction to prove successful. Little has ever been done towards maintaining rates in Texas, and the occasion for a reduced rate has usually proven the occasion also of a bitter passenger fight- Rates for the Mystic snriners at uai las this week is an instance of theway such business has been handled. A rate war was precipitated by several of the roads, and as a consequence the Shriners were enabled to make the round trio from Kansas City to Dallas for $5 and the round trip from St. Louis to Dallas for $3.50. TO CLOSE THE GAP. Santa Fe Planning an Extension Prom Mojave West It is authoritatively announced that the Santa Fe will close the gap between Mojave and Bakersfield and form a connection with the San Joaquin valley road. James Dun, chief engineer of the Santa Fe system, has looked over the country that lies between the terminus of the Santa Fe Pacific and terminus of the Valley railroad. The route of the proposed extension will, in all prob ability, be from Johnnesburg through Walker Pass and down the canyon of Kerndiver to Bakersfield. Bill Hibben's Luck. Wr. D.

The captain of the steamer Lapwing, which has just re turned from Albert bay, reports that nine stern-wheel steamers of a fleet of eleven have been seriously damaged while at tempting to cross Queen Charlotte sound. The injured vessels put in at Port Alex ander, where they will be repaired. The Pilgrim, P. J. Gruntles and P. D. Camp bell have their steam pipes broken. The steam schooner Albion, which was with the fleet, was convoyed and aided in its distress by the tugs Resolute and Holyoke. The Oil City and Xew Tork continued on their way across the sound.

Grand Central Station Attendants- "A practical demonstration of the wisdom of establishing a free mes senger and guide service at the New York Central station in Xew York city was given a few days ago," remarked a gentleman who had just returned from the metropolis this morning. "I went to the big town on the 9:20 even ing train, arriving at New York at 7:30, on time to a minute, as usual. In the car that I was m was a charming old lady who had a big satchel. When we got, off the train I proposed to carry the old lady's baggage to the street from away up at the Forty-fourth street end of the depot. It's a long walk, you know, from that end to the Forty-second street exit, and the old lady was all alone. I was just about to take her satchel from the porter when a smart young man in a blue uni form, wearing a round red hat such as British soldiers wear, and having embroidered on the front in gold let ters, "Grand Central Station Attend ant,' stepped up to her, touched his hat and politely asked where she wished to go. He took the satchel from the porter and carried it to the entrance, where, after protecting her from the horde of hackmen. he put her and her bag gage on a cross town car and went back into the station. Of course it was only what he was hired to do, but he did it so nicely that I was greatly pleased, and the little old lady was pleased also. There was a troubled look on her face when she stepped off the train, but when she saw the uniform of the young fellow who spoke to her it all disap peared. She knew she was in good hands and need not worry more. That messenger service is a great institution. When a lady boards a New York Cen tral train for New York alone now she knows that she will be protected from the time the train starts till she is safely in a carriage or car in New York city. What more could be asked if a railroad than that." Rochester Union and Advertiser. CUBAN ouveoIrDoSiars GIVEN AWAY. First Coinage Republic of Cuba.

Great Brit ain would have been put to certain disad vantages. These considerations, the premier fur ther pointed out, had become more im perative in consequence of the last few years. He could not say that any imme diate danger was apprehended. In fact, the concessions had been demanded for a. long time, but "recent events made tha Chinese government more sensitive to the possibility of unexpected occurrences, and they quite understand and appreciate the solicitude displayed for the maintenance of peace and the commercial interests of Great Britain and the whole world."

Perhaps it is the war board's idea to win the victory with time and money rather than by shedding blood. The war which has broken out be tween the two big New York dailies is, up to this time, minus the blockade fea ture. It would be a red letter day In the country's history if Santiago and Speaker Reed should surrender on the eame day. How can Col.

Now that an additional tax has been placed on beer it is probable that the dealers will take in the reefs on their schooners. When the Holland, the balloons and General Shafter reach Santiago there will be few ways left open for Cervera to dodge. In view of the ubiquitous character of the Spanish fleet isn't It a little reck less to send the Charleston to capture the Ladrone islands by herself? Judge Seamans of the United States court has declared a blockade against the Milwaukee brewery which was turning out beer labeled "Budweiser." If the war board had only thought to place all the United States vessels In West Indian waters in a straight line the troops might have marched to Cuba.

I Chanute Tribune The army camped In Virginia is complaining loudly of the dust In the old Dominion. When we were down there some years ago the moke was so thick we didn't notice the dust. The San Francisco Bulletin (Rep.) Is disposed to attach little significance to the result of the Oregon election as having any political bearing. Its views are set forth as follows: "There never has been much concern expres sed over the Oregon election. Party lines are not strictly drawn in war time. Differences of opinion in respect to the tariff, currency, and even of the war policy of the administration, are in abeyance while there are foreign foes to be met. This is so well understood that from a political point of view no great significance attaches to an elec tion during war times. All who vote against the administration ticket are counted among its enemies." Admiral Sampson will soon have an opportunity to inspect his trap and see what is inside.

Chicago Young Woman Discovers a Silhouette Process. Chicago, June 14. When Solomon de clared there was nothing new under the sun silhouettes had not been made with a camera. That invention has gone on the patent office records as the latest achievement of a modern woman, and the fashion for the silhouettes of our grand mothers' time, touched up with a few nineteenth century improvements, has ex perienced a sudden and violent revival. The Invention is the result of months of patient working and experimenting on an idea which originated in the brain of a south side young woman. She came from Oshkosh with her sister two or three years ago, bought out a studio in Mich igan boulevard, and hung out a sign "Pho nographs." The young women finally reaped reward for their enterprise and industry. Then came the silhouettes. After months of trials and failures, of hopes and fears, the satisfaction of suc cess was attained. In an art store win dow in Wabash avenue this morning is an exhibit in which art critics are inter ested because of its novelty. It is a col lection of the silhouettes. They are an improvement on the old method, for the camera catches expressions which were never outlined with scissors. Ninety-nine out of every hundred pass ersby recognize the likenesses, and the hundredth man fails only because he has not seen the originals. There is the kindly face of Ingersoll, and the features of Le Gallienne. and the familiar visages of many another well known personage. The effect of the 'outline is heightened and intensified by a mat of dull black card board. The process of making the photograph silhouettes, according to the Inventor, is simple enough when you know how it is done. The profile must be adjusted at exactly the correct angle between the camera and a pane of frosted window glass. Then the camera is placed at the correct distance from the sitter; then the young woman surrounds her subject's head with a few white screens and some black ones shaped like fans and mounted on adjustable frames, takes a few pro fessional squints, presses the button, and there you are. You can't deny your iden tity, for it is down in black and white. TO QUELL A RIOT. Kentucky Feud Compels the Governor to Call Out Militia. London. Ky., June 14. State troops ar rived here this morning, breakfasted and left for Manchester in vehicles, led by Johnson, the jailer of Laurel county, to preserve the peace on account of the threatening situation growing out of the Baker-Howard mountain feud, which has already resulted' in the killing of eleven men. Judge Brown has been unable to hold court. Ten barrels of whisky were stolen from a warehouse near Manchester, and the fighters are being supplied with it. Between 75 and 100 men, armed with Winchester rifles, are on each side. Judge Brown received a letter today from the Baker faction saying they will surrender to the officers of the law if guaranteed protection. The Howards are in posses sion of Manchester and the Bakers are three miles from town. FIGHT THE TACKS. Chicago Wheelmen Ask Mayor for Better Streets. Chicago, June 14. Interest of the mayor is being directed to the frightful condition of a number of important thoroughfares about the city, and at the next meeting of the Associated Cycle clubs and Cook County Cyclists' pssoclation resolutions will be passed and forwarded to him ask ing his co-operation in certain directions. The park boards will also.be requested to aid in abating certain nuisances which are dangerous to horses as well as to the comfort of cyclists. For some time there has been complaint that the streets and boulevards of the city are being strewn with broken glass and large tacks, many horses having been se verely injured and countless tires being punctured or cut almost beyond repair. There is an ordinance which covers such cases, and whether it be the work of bi cycle repairers or evil-minded persons, the regular and park police will be asked to pay some attention to its enforcement.

KANSASNEWS. E. W. Galligan of Lamar, Plac ed Under Arrest, Charged With Burning a Barn Last Week. WANTED INSURANCE. Mrs. Frank L. Brown of Gar nett, Adjudged Insane. Cherryyale's Prospects Three New Smelters. For Arcadia, June 14. The preliminary hearing of E. W. Galligan of Lamar, charged with arson was finished Friday before Justice J. S. Allen. The princi pal witness for the state was Ed Mc Daniel, who is charged with the same offense but has admitted his guilt. Ac cording to his story he was hired by Galligan to burn the barn belonging to Mrs. Galligan on June 8. He was to receive $10 for the job. Galligan made arrangements to visit friends for a few days so they would be away when the barn burned. McDaniel did not set the barn on fire, but after learning that Galligan and family were away made arrangements to burn it on the follow ing night. Accordingly, about 4 o'clock in the morning he hitched up his wagon and started towards Galligan's house. He left the wagon some distance from the barn and after procuring some hay set a match to the barn. He hurried back to the wagon and drove home. Early the next morning the neighbors discovered that the barn had been burned and went over to see what had caused it. The only clew available was a succession of foot-prints that led from a point, where a wagon and team had been stationed up to the barn and back again. The foot-prints were very large and showed the prints of socks. No other clew could be found. A set of harness and a dog with a litter of pups had been removed from the barn before the destruction had taken place. Galligan. who wanted the barn burned in order that he mightd secure the in surance of $200 refused, however.to pay McDaniel for his Job. The young man asked Galligan for the $10 several times and made fre quent complaints which finally aroused the suspicion of the authorities. This is the evidence furnished by the state. Galligan, however, denies hav ing made any arrangements with Mc Daniel to burn the barn. Galligan has furnished bond In the sum of $500 but McDaniel will probably have to remain in jail until court.

Brazilian Dynamite Cruiser Has Not Been Accepted Norfolk, Va., June 14. The former Brazilian dynamite cruiser Nictheroy has not yet been accepted by the United States, and the prospect is that a hitch will occur in the transfer of the vessel unless necessary repairs to her hull, machinery and boilers are made in a very expeditious manner. Mr. Flint of Flint Co., who trans ferred her first to the Brazilian gov ernment, and who purchased her at the outbreak of the present war for the United States, has been making fre quent trips between this city and Washington in the hope of getting an extension of the time for the delivery of the ship in good condition to the na vy department. rThus far he has met with little en couragement and so has finally decided to send the vessel to New York Instead of to the Newport News shipyard. She has been in quarantine ever since her arrival, and the fact that no one was allowed aboard hr has precluded the necessary survey being made, so Mr. Flint does not yet know exactly how extensive are the repairs that will have to be made. The ship must, however, be turned over to the government before the ter mination of hostilities cr she will be a dead loss on her purchaser's hands. AMERICAN SINGER.

CHANEY MORTON, 117 East Sixth Street. E BARILLAS A PAUPER. Guatemala's Ex-President Loses All His Vast Estates. San Francisco, June 14. The exact amount of the indebtedness of General Barillas, the gay ex-president of Guat emala, has just been made public. Some time ago the creditors of the gen eral, fearful lest his vast estates might be entirely dissipated ere they could have any chance of recovering, took steps to force Barillas into liqui dation. Accordingly a committee of three prominent bankers of Guatemala was appointed to take charge of his en tire business. They cheerfully examined his ac counts, made appraisements in the val uation of all his coffee plantations, his various ranches, etc., and as well made a tabulated report of his debts and debtors. Though General Barillas' en tire estate is valued at $5,985,165, as ev idence of how deeply it is incumbered, the report just received here shows that he had but $52.05 in cash. In Guate mala he owes $4,709,060. Barillas' downfall is generally attrib uted to the lavish manner in which he showered attentions upon Miss May Ti ber, a dashing young woman well known in this city. He spent a fortune upon her, and one of the most sensa tional of the gay roue's experiences was his trip to Europe with Miss Taber. At Santa Gertrude's Miss Taber now resides as the guest of Barillas. SOLDIERS' THEATER. Toledo Kan Will Erect a Casino at Chickamauga. Toledo, June 14.

TROUBLES MULTIPLY. Gov. Smith In a Controversy at Santa Monica Home. Los Angeles, Calif., June 14. In ref erence to charges made by members of the National Soldiers' home near Santa Monica against the governor of the home, Col. A. J. Smith, late of the Leavenworth home, to the effect that he had threatened to exclude certain veter ans from the home if they participated in the local political campaign at San ta Monica, District Attorney Donnell says: "This affair may resolve itself into a test of constitutional rights. The question whether a member of a sol diers' home has a right to vote at the home or at his former residence has been raised, and as the complainants in this case are members of the home, absent only on furlough, the point may be raised that they cannot be residents of both places at once." BEER UP $1 A BARREL. Chicago Saloon-Keepers Got a Tip and Stocked Up. Chicago, June 14. The Chicago brew ers yesterday advanced the price of beer $1 a barrel. The advance has been threatened for several months, but the troubles among the brewers prevented its being put in effect. Several weeks ago a false tip was sent out to the sa loon keepers that an advance would come "right off," and about 10,000 bar rels were laid in by the saloon keepers to get ahead of it. The advance did not come, but the hot weather did, and much of the beer spoiled and had to be emptied into the gutters. Another tip was given out yesterday, and there was a great rush to stock up in advance by the saloon keepers. I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I had used many remedies without re ceiving much relief, and being recom mended to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who.know ing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most grati fying results. The first bottle relieved me very much and the second bottle has absolutely cured me. I have not had as good health for twenty years. I give this certificate without solicita tion, simply in appreciation of the grat itude felt for the cure effected. Re spectfully, MRS. MARY A. BEARD. Claremore, Ark. For sale by all drug gists.

June 14 Acting Admiral Wm. T. Sampson, commanding the naval forces operating In the West Indies, whose actual rank in the navy is that of captain, will become a com modore on the third proximo by the retirement of Rear Admiral Kirkland. commandant of the Mare Island navy yard, who is now the ranking officer of the navy. In the event of successful performance of the important duties assigned him In the West Indies. In cluding the capture and occupation of Santiago de Cuba and San Juan de Puerto Rico, of which his friends have no doubt whatever. Captain Sampson 13 also assured of further promotion to the actual rank of Rear Admiral, bejng the highest grade to which he can at tain unless congress shall re-create the grade of admiral, or vice admiral for his special benefit. Those offices were established during the war of the re bellion and lapsed with the death of their last incumbents. Admiral Porter and Vice Admiral Rowan. The plan of promotion adopted by President Mc Kinley in the case of Admiral Dewey and his captains for their great achieve ment in the harbor of Manila probably will be followed in case of similar vic tories by Admiral Sampson and his captains on this side of the water. In addition to Admiral Kirkland. five other admirals will retire within the next few months by operation of law, on account of age. They are Ad miral Joseph N. Miller, commanding the Pacific station: Admiral Mont gomery Sicard. president of the war board; Admiral E. O. Matthews, presi dent of the examining and retiring board; Admiral F. S. Bunce, command ing the New York navy yard, and Ad miral C. S. Norton, commanding the Washington navy yard. With the ex ception of Admiral Miller, all of these officers are likely to be retained in their present places after their retirement during the continuance of the war with Spain, because of the non-availability of officers on the active list to take their places. Retired officers are sub ject to duty of this kind in time of war at the discretion of the president. It Is different with Admiral Miller. He is In command of a fleet and retired of ficers are not eligible for such duty un less specially authorized by act of con gress. Admiral Kirkland Is a native of North Carolina, and it Is his purpose to make his home in that state when he is relieved from duty.

Admiral Miller, the senior officer, has three vessels i: his squadron and Acting Rear Admira Sampson, the junior of them all, has over seventy vessels under his com mand. The last named officer does not attain the actual rank of a flag officer until he becomes a commodore next month by the retirement of Admira Kirkland. His rank as captain would not ordinarily entitle him to a higher command than that of a single vessel; putting him in command of the largest and most powerful fleet that was ever gathered under the United States flag the president found it necessary to give him the nominal rank of acting rear ad miral. That designation clothed him with all the authority necessary to the execution of the highly important duty confided to him. but carried with no increase of pay or emoluments, and no permanency of rank. No greater compliment was ever paid an officer of the United States navy. THE TERRIBLE TERROR. She Has Been Laid Up for Repairs at San Juan de Porto Rico. New York, June 14. The British steamer Tyrian which sailed from San Juan de Porto Rico on June 6, arrived todav. Capt. Argrove reports that the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror was in port when he sailed, with steam up, and stored with coal, water and provisions. On arrival at San Juan the Terror's boilers were leaking. R pairs were made and some tubes were fitted in the boilers. capt. Angrove says that very little damage was caused by the bombardment of Admiral Sampson's fleet on May 12. The forts were not much damaged. The captain said he visited all of the forts to see the result and could observe nothing unusual. At the gateway to one of the forts stands an unexploded American shell which is kept there as a souvenir. There was in port Alfons. XIII. 1IOSADNOCK IS READY.

He Makes a Grand Stand Flay at Camp Alger. Washington. June 14. The principal work in progress at Camp Alger just now is the running of telephone and telegraph wires from headquarters to the various regiments.

Inter est in the subject of hospital service has increased since Colonel Girard has an nounced his intention to abolish regi mental hosoitats. It is said that Colonel Kavanaugh of the Seventh Illinois regi ment refused to deliver an ambulance to the division hospital and may be called to account for his action. It is exoected that canvas suits will be distributed to the troops within a week. The proposed change is viewed with de light by the soldiers. Astor Battery En Route. Pittsburg, June 14.

OVERPOWER SHERIFF. Shot the Girl Eight Times Then Burned Body. Was to Plead Insanity at Trial Today. Great Bend, Kan., June 14. In th? public square, fronting on the principal business street of this city, a murderer was lynched at 8 o'clock last evening by a mob of probably 500 persons. It is estimated that at least 1,000 of Great Bend's population of 2,500 persons wit nessed the tragedy. The victim was John Becker, a white man, 50 years of age, who, on April 8, killed Myrtle Huffmeister, the 16-year-old daughter of Wiliiam Huffmeister, a farmer living midway between Great Bend and El linwood, the second station east of here. Becker was employed by the farmer, and professed passionate love for the daughter, and the tragedy followed the girl's refusal to accept his advances. When the girl came to the stable in the evening Becker shot her to death, send ing eight bullets into her body, after which he set fire to the farmer's sta bles. At first it was reported that the murderer had shot himself and that he had' died In the flames, but later it be came known that he had fled and search v. as instituted. On April 13 a posse of farmers captured the murderer near St. John, Stafford County, and for safe keeping he was taken by the sher iff to Hutchinson, there having been many threats that he would be lynched if brought here. Yesterday morning Becker was brought from Hutchinson to be put up on his preliminary examination. Early in the day farmers from the neighbor hood of his crime began coming into town, and by 6 o'clock in the evening the streets were thronged. Then, when it became known that the murderer had been granted a change of venue to Ly ons, and that Sheriff Aber would take h.'s prisoner east on the Santa Fe even ing train, there were signs of threaten ed trouble, as a big crowd began to gather at the railway depot. Sheriff Aber, appreciating the danger, took Becker into a buggy and started for a crossing east of the city, intend ing to flag the train there. By this time the crowd at the depot were open ly threatening a lynching. When the train pulled in the purpose of the sher iff's strategy had become apparent to all. The would-be lynchers, quick to act, boarded the train and rode on. When Sheriff Aber at the crossing saw that the train was crowded to the guards he did not flag it, but hurrie-dly drove back to Great Bend with his pris oner. At Dartmouth the lynching par ty left the train and started back to this city, having hired all the convey ances available there. In the mean time Sheriff Aber had hurried back, and had lodged his prisoner at the county jail. A few minutes before 8 o'clock the mob was swarming around the jail. Evidently believing that he could out wit the lynchers by flight, the sheriff rushed Becker out of the Jail to his buggy, which was in the street, but he had no sooner done so than he and his men and the prisoner were surrounded. The sheriff, aided by his deDuties. made a stubborn defense, and the prisoner. realizing tne iate mat threatened him, fought desperately with them. After they had fought their way back almost to the entrance to the jail, the mob. through sheer force of numbers, ore- vailed. Securing the murderer, they bore him away to the public square. There a rope was drawn around Beck er's neck, and. after he had been beaten almost to insensibility, the rope was thrown over a limb of a big tree and he was drawn up. Some one in the crowd gave the body a push, and as the murderer was being drawn up his body repeatedly swung back, scraping upon the trunk of the tree. The sheriff and his men kept close upon the heels of the lynchers, but they were held back for fully 15 minutes. when, it being apparent that Becker was dead, the mob quickly melted away and the murderer's body was cut down by the sheriff and the coroner. Though guns were drawn and threats were made, no shots were fired by the sheriff and his men in their struggle against the lynchers. Many of the lynching party must be known to the county peace officers, but there is no very strong talk of arrests. The senti ment here seems to be that if ever a men deserved lynching, Becker did. Becker is said to come of a prosper ous family at Marion, 111. Attorneys VV. W. Duncan and John W. Roberts of Hutchinson were here to defend him, and it is stated that insanity was to have been the murderer's defense. READY FOR PEACE. Spain Wants Somebody to Help Her Let Go. j Brussels, June 14.

Corporal Garrett, of Company F, Kansas Na tional Guards, of this city, today re ceived from the adjutant general his iionotable discharge, which contained the fiist announcement that the com pany had been disbanded. This is sup posed to be the fate of the militia of Kansas, against which Governor Leedy iias shown antipathy. If so, the state is without a state militia organization for the first time since the war. Less than half the militiamen of Kansas vol unteered in the present war.because the governor had "ignored them. They de B'red, however, to preserve the organi zation, and wrote Governor Leedy ask ing their status, lie referred them to the adjutant general, who notified them that they could have their discharge at any time. Corporal Garrett asked for liis. and the notification of the disband tnent of the company came with it. entirely content with his position here and would not be removed unwillingly. When asked concerning his rumored appointment today. Father Hayden said: "I have been associated with the As sumption parish in this city for the past eleven years, and I do not care to make a change. To be allowed to con tinue in charge of the parish here is the only promotion I wish. My relations in Topeka are most congenial, and I am entirely satisfied to remain in this city. The appointment as vicar general would necessarily mean removal to Leavenworth." The twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sherer was celebrated at their pleasant home in Oakland, on Saturday, .Tune 11th. The decorations consisted of June roses and pansies prettily arranged about the rooms. About thirty guests J listened to an impressive mar.-iage cer- emony performed by Chaplain Irwin of Topeka post, with Comrade Z. B. Shlp- man as best man and Mrs. I. W. Pei fer, president of corps 94, as brides T maid. 2 i An elaborate dinner was served. Sev- j eral tokens of friendship were received, among them a souvenir spoon from the Helianthus club, engraved with the club 2 I flower; the presentation speech was 2 made by its president, Airs. J.

While in many ways he is the man most likely to be thought of as the successor to the new bishop of the Concordia diocese, he is The clerks in the state auditor's office have completed the tabulation of figures on the assessment of railroads and the following figures have been given out: "The total amount of railroad assess ment for ls5 was $59,279,346; for 1897. $59. 3N0.194: for 1S9S. $60. 305. 460. The increase over 1S90 was $1,026,120: increase over 18'7. $'.'25,272. Besides this increase there was over SW.ikio worth of track taken up, which, if added to the increase over 1897, would amount to $1,031,272." The principal increase is on the side tracks of all railroad companies in Wy andotte county, which is raised $1,000 a mile. The Union Pacific between Topeka and Kansas City was raised $2.010 a mile because the track is upsed by the Rock Island as well as the T'nion Pacific. The board had a new duty to perform this year and that was the assement of the telephone and telegraph lines. The members of board say that they have taken the figures made by local assess ors on the telephone systems except where long distance lines are in question. Tele graphs were treated in the same manner. t Will pay for a Suit made to order, but not wool made and woven at our mill.'

Wants the Populists to Bust Their Ticket Into Flinders. William Sapp was in Topeka last night. He is the man who demands that the Democrats should have at least three places on the fusion ticket and there was a quiet little conference at the Throop hotel between Mr. Sapp, J Q Johnson and H. S. Marfan on one side, Taylor Riddle, W. T. Tipton and K. J. Westgate, representing the Popu lists. The real object of the conference was to agree upon a method for having the Democratic and Populist conventions x.-.u-k- in harmonv but the populist mem. bers of the conference were not able to make any agreement with their Demo cratic friends. Mr. Sapp and his co workers proposed that conference com mittees be appointed just as they were two years ago. Mr. Riddle said he would present the matter to the Populist convention but could make no promise that it would be done. Mr Sapp also urged upon Mr. Riddle and the other Populists the importance of giving the Democrats at least three places on the ticket. Mr. Riddle was also non-committal on this point. DEFOKD STILL SINGLE Twentieth's Adjutant Postpones His Wedding for the War. Fort Worth, Tex., June 14. The un certainties of war prevented the mar riage of an army officer and a beautiful young lady of this city. There arrived here yesterday William Deford, adju tant of the Twentieth Kansas regiment. He came for the purpose of wedding To Make a Statement of His Disposal of the Klein Estate. Probate Judge Dolman has rendered his decision in the Klein estate case, in which he reopens the case, declaring that fraud was practiced on the probate court in 1892 in securing the dismissal of John S. Branner as administrator. The suit was filed before Judge Dolman by Mrs. W. W. Webb and Mrs. Schuyler Nichols, who are heirs of the late Jacob Klein. The estate is worth about $85, 000, most of which is in Kansas ave nue business property between Fifth and Sixth streets. Judge Dolman has ordered John S. Branner to make a ful! statement to the court about the property to date. The latter refuses to do so, and has given notice of an appeal. TO RECEIVE THE N. E. A. session a letter which he says was writ ten by John Collins at Lawrence to Johnson Jordan. He refuses to make known the exact contents of it, saying that in the trial the letter will be used. From one who claims to have seen the letter before it was given Into Jami son's hands, it was learned that it con tains this appeal: "Why don't you do what I have paid you to do? I have always treated you fair and now I want you to carry out your agreement with me. If you don't do what I paid you to do you will hear from me." When shown this today and asked if it was correct, Attorney Jamison said: "That is not the exact language. The letter is even more damaging to Collins than that. It was printed roughly with a pen as if the party did not want his handwriting recognized. No name was signed. The officers tell me that they will be able to prove that John Collins mailed the letter at Lawrence. The postoffice records here show that it was received at the '400 club' in Smoky Row." This letter story has every appear ance of being a fake pure' and simple. Any person manufacturing false evi dence in the Collins case, should be put in jail at once. received 74 car loads, as compared with 14 a year ago.

Changed to Monday in the Appellate Court Room. The hearing of John Collins will be held Monday morning. It was found necessary to change the date from Thursday. The hearing will be held in the appellate court room in the county court house. Should the defense make a fight, it will last several days. There is a rumor that preliminary hearing will be waived and that the case will come up for trial in the district court next fall. As to this the attorneys have nothing to say for publication. In this whole affair they have guarded their re marks most carefully, seeming to real ize that they were on dangerous ground when talking about the case. John Col lins has not said a word for publication since the morning after the murder when he gave his theory of the murder for the State Journal. He was inter viewed last Friday morning but refused to answer leading questions. This was the only time that he has had a chance to talk for publication since his arrest, as the order was given not to allow newspaper reporters to see him. Capt. J. G. Waters says that he has not been retained to assist in the de fense, nor does he know that he will be. The announcement was made yes terday by A. A. Godard that Attorney Chas.

Furnished hy the Associated Press to the State Journal Chicago. June 14. WHEAT There was a surprisingly steady opening on 'change today, consid ering the cables from Liverpool and the demoralization last night. Broomhall ca bled sensational drought situation in sev eral districts in P.ussia. Added to this there were reports of grasshoppers rav aging the wheat fif Ids in some sections of South Dakota. This news had a steady ing influence. The pit felt, however, that the effect of the Leiter collapse would not soon be forgotten. Its effect abroad was shown by a drop of 1 shilling injulywheat at Liverpool. Cables for September were ld lower.

New York: Unexpected assistance came to the aid of the interests which have be n working for a reaction in stocks in the development of financial trouole in con nection with the great Leiter bull deal in wheat, notwithstanding the unfavorable advices which for a time came from the west. There was a good buying power made at the declines in the shares market and as a consequence the net losses can not be described as severe. The break in wheat may have a natural influence ad verse to securities which may not bf im mediately shaken off. Something Will ce pend on how the collapse of the wheat deal will result. The indications are that no serious consequences are to be dreaded. The break in wheat is not without its c om pensations. It has increased purchases for export and experienced brokers expect to see a further demand for shipment. The weakness of the foreign exchange market becomes interesting in view of a slightly harder tone in the time money market.

W. Ellis, State Journal's Cor respondent at San Franeisco, Writes That the 20th Kansas is Likely to Start FOR MANILA JUNE 23. News and Incidents Concerning 'the Kansas Boys. Col. Little Rebukes Pomposity in His Inimitable Way. (From the State Journal's Special Cor respondent.) San Francisco, June 8. There la complaint made by the citizens who live near Camp Richmond that too many sa loons are allowed to flourish. The city council refused nine requests for license to open up in that vicinity at their meeting- last night. The soldiers have at present a selection of over forty to take their drinks at. Several of them are run by women. But for one spec ial reason If for none other the Kan sas boys are not patronizing them very freely just now. The pay wagon has failed to stop and remunerate the soldiers from Kansas as yet and nine tenths of the volunteers are "moneyless men." Part of the troops In camp have been paid but up to this evening the Kansas men have not. It is thought however, that it cannot be delayed any longer than Monday at the outside. It may be sooner. In the Abilene company any man mentioning "pay day" in any form is promptly tried by a "kangaroo court" and the sentence is invariably a strap ping. Captain "Watson tells an amusing sto ry on Lieutenant Callahan in connec tion with pay day. A young lady,- a friend of the lieuten ant called and was invited to remain for dinner with the "mess." She did so and on departing Invited the lieuten ant to call at her home, take dinner and spend the evening, and Callahan looked embarrassed for a moment then bravely told her that pay day had not arrived and he hadn't actually car fare with him and it was too far to walk. The young lady promptly produced her pocketbook and taking out a nickel for her own carfare home tossed the entire purse heavy with silver to Callahan and with an admonition to help himself until after pay day, hurried oft', leaving the lieutenant gratefully confused and the envy of the regiment. A photographer took pictures of the different companies in camp today. As all the boys will want one to send home the picture man considers that he did a good stroke of business. The quartermasters no longer bake their bread but trade the flour allowed as rations to bakers for bread. One hundred loaves is given in exchange for each sack of flour. The cooks say this is better bread than they can bake with their meagre facilities and more loaves than they are able to get from the sack of flour. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew has furnished Chaplain Schleimann a tent for his special use In the Philippines for Y. M. C. A. meetings. The size of the tent is 20x40 feet and with it will be 2,500 envelopes and sheets of paper, checker boards, chess boards, etc. The Christian Endeavor gave a so cial last night a sa counter attraction to the saloons and gambling hails. Coffee, sandwiches and a good musical programme were furnished. Over 300 of the Kansas volunteers were present. It was free. The edict has gone forth from the quarters of Captain Towers that no more women cen enter or be allowed to visit the men in the tents. It mat ters not how well or how little they may be known. The men are inclined to grumble some as they say there can be no impropriety in their friends drop ping In a moment or two to see how the soldiers live. But the order will go. In the Topeka company at least. Active target practice has not, as yet, betn indulged in by the Kansas regi ment. Col. Little was arranging this morning for the use of the range. The Colorado troops are using it now and the men are hitting three bull's eyes out of five. This looks ominous for the Spaniards. There are few new cases of sickness and Dr. Rafter informs me that of those of the troops that are ill none are dangerous. Hospital Steward Hun gerford is the worst case. Clad Hamilton was today appointed first sergeant of Co. B. This is a. de served promotion. He will cease to act as chief clerk at headquarters. Captain Fred Buchan has been desig nated as acting adjutant during Adju tant DeFord's absence. This is a splendid selection as the work in that department is now being ground out in rapid order. The men were today measured for canvas suits for Manila. They are a checkered brown. This is in addition to the canvas suits already received. Col. Little was Informed today that he would not be able to take his horse to the Philippines. He was given an option of selling it to the government or shipping it home at the government's expense. Major Rafter, Major Whit man and Col. Little after a brief con sultation decided to sell their animals to ITnele Sam. Orders have been issued to vaccinate the Kansas troops and the work will be begun on Sunday. It will last the great er part of two days. The latest tip is that the Kansas troops will be started for Manila about June 23, together with a portion of Cal ifornia and Minnesota troops. This will allow the new recruits from Kan sas to reach here. Corporal C. E. Warner of Company F has been made chief clerk and Muller of Company A is also promoted to a clerkship. At the head of their street last night Company F erected a mound over the grave of a dummy. An inscription read on the headboard: "Died waiting for pay day." On the little mound of sand an empty pocketbook was tossed, and a brief service held. Now the passing soldiers salute it with lowered arms. There is some talk of moving the present camp owing to the poor sanita ry regulations. A change would be welcome. Anything to get rid of the present drizzle of a Scotch mist that daily envelops the present quarters Over at brigade headquarters the fol lowing communication took place last evening wherein Col. Little took occa sion to stand up for Kansas. "Who is your colonel?" asked a pompus Indi vidual. "Frederick Funston," said Little. "Where is he?" was the next question. "On General Miles' staff." Arother pompous regular army officer bawled out: "Who 's he?" "Who's who?" said the Kansas man, "Miles, he's general-in-chief of the ar my." "No, who 's Funston?" ".Well sir, he's colonel of our regiment," j said" Col. Little, evidently considering that a sufficient identification. "But who was he in civil life?" sneeringly persisted old pomposity. "He was a soldier." said the present .commander of the Twentieth. "A soldier in time of peace," bawled the big abdomened regular. "He didn't belong to the regulars did he?" "Oh, hell, no," said Little. "He was a fighting soldier. He went around the world whenever they had wars and fought." The soldier, who was "a regular" In stead of a "fighting soldier" here lost Interest in Funston's pedigree and "the subject lapsed." E. W. ELLIS. IT MUST.GO. The Premium Stamp That Is Really an Obnoxious Tax, Will Have to Leave. The Merchants' Federation met last night in Weber's hall for the purpose of taking action on the premium stamp schemes. It was unanimously voted that they be run out of town. Different business men recited their ex periences and it was found to be univer sal that the companies carrying on a pre mium stamp business were defrauding the merchants and the customers. Councilmen Roundtree. Blossom and Benson were at the meeting as the committee from the council on licenses. They all expressed themselves as in favor of a heavy tax on the stamp houses. One merchant was said to be paying $100 a month to the stamp houses and therefore it was decided to place the tax at $500. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, There is now in the city of Topeka certain premium stamp, coupon and other enterprises which are detrimen tal to the best interests of both merchants and the citizens; and. Whereas, We, the merchants, now in meeting assembled, wish to see these scnemes pay to tne city or Topeka a rev enue commensurate with the amount of business they are doing. Therefore, Resolved. That it is the sense of this meeting that the city council be asked to levy a license tax on all such schemes of not less than $500 per month, in ad vance. The same to go into effect im mediately after the passage of said ordi nance. TABLETS DEFACED. Vandalism Kara and Injures Wash ington's Monument Washington, June 14. Despite the ef forts to protect the Washington monu ment from vandalism it appears from a report made by Col. Bingham, in charge of public buildings and grounds, that they are not entirely successful. Sev eral days ago some of the visitors to the monument defaced two tablets at the 270 foot landing by breaking off large pieces, and escaped detection. There were 12,219 visitors to the top of the monument during May, of which number 9,450 made the ascent by the el- j evator and 2,769 by the stairway, mak ing a total or l,533,9db persons who have visited the top since the shaft was opened to the public, October 9, 1888. Col. Bingham reports that many re pairs were made to the executive man sion during the past month. The furn iture in the green parlor has been re upholstered. New sill: drapery curtains iiave been hung at the windows and a new Wilton carpet has been laid. The basement windows, 22 in number, have been protected by iron guards, which were cut from the old ornamental iron fence in the grounds. The usual care has been extended to the large collection of plants in the var ious parks and greenhouses: 1,507 car nations were placed in the greenhouses for stock and winter bloom and 390,159 tropical, subtropical and bedding plants were planted in the flower beds of the different parks. LICENSES REFUSED. Saloons Decreased at Camp Richmond Property Owners Win. San Francisco, June 14. The police commissioners have arrived at the con clusion that all the saloons necessary to quench the thirsts of the "boys in blue" encamped. on the old Bay District race track and their visitors are now in operation. That decision proved a bit I ter disappointment to nine ambitious saloon men who hoped to be granted licenses to dispose of "sharp steams and stronger liquid refreshments to the soldiers and the thousands of people who daily find their way to the camp ground. The residents of the Richmond dis trict made the fight and won a substan tial victoiy. Since the first arrival of troops at the old race track saloons have been popping up in that locality like mushrooms. In the small strip of territory bounded by Fulton and Clem ent streets, Henderson and Eighth av enues, there are 31 saloons now run ning, and no less than nine applications for saloon licenses were made before the commissioners within the past five days. The people of Richmond then decided that it was time for them to enter a strong and vigorous protest. When they received information that dance halls and gambling dens were al so proposed they thought that patience had ceased to be a virtue, and that un less some prompt and vigorous action was taken the Richmond district in the neighborhood of the camp would soon become a second edition of the Bar bary coast. "ENCHANTED MESA." David Starr Jordan Starts on Anoth er Scientific Exploration. San Francisco, June 14. A party of scientists has started for Flagstaff.

Lun Kim, Lun Yuk, Lun Ten and thirty-seven other young Chinese girls appeared in court on habeas corpus proceedings. These females were brought here by a concessionaire for the exposition, and it is alleged they are now held and be ing sold as slaves. Habeas corpus pro ceedings were instituted by Wan Lee, a local Chinaman, alleging in a petition that the Chinese girls are confined against their will in a building at Thir teenth and Chicago streets, and that one Lem You is their keeper. The petition recites that the girls were secured in China; that their ages range from 11 to 25 years, and that they were brought here ostensibly for the 'purpose of occupying a Chinese village at the exposition, there to illustrate and portray the customs of life in China. He says, however, that this was not the real purpose of bringing the girls to America. Going into details, the pe titioner alleges that all of the forty or fifty girls are of good families, and that, notwithstanding this, it is pro posed by Lem You to sell them for un lawful purposes. In addition to this, the petitioner alleges that already seven girls who were brought to Omaha have been sent to San Francisco, and that others are being offered for sale at $1,500 each. The petitioner asks that the girls be released from custody and that they be allowed to go where they please and do as they like. The court temporarily turned the girls over to a deputy. The concessionaire asserts that a rival Chinese society Is at the bottom of the litigation. SOLDIER TO MARRY. President McKinley Aids Realization of Love's 'Young Dream. Oil City, Pa., June 14. Through the courtesy of President McKinley an Oil City couple will be made happy within a few days. Vernon S. Swisher, son of O. P. Swisher, of the National Transit company, and Miss Sarah Thomas, daughter of H. D. Thomas, of the Al legheny Valley railroad, were to have been married this month, and invitations had been sent out for the wedding, when Mr. Swisher was called on to go to the defense of his country with the Sixteenth regiment. When at Mt. Gretna Mr. Swisher expected to be granted a furlough, but was unsuccess ful. President McKinley, who is a friend of Mr. Swisher's father, learned of the matter and today a telegram was re ceived here stating that Mr. Swisher had been granted a 20 days' furlough by order of the president. Mr. Swisher is expected home in a few days. ACCUSED OF ARSON. Peculiar Dilemma of a Chicago Prop erty Owner. Chicago, June 14. Arson was charged against John Spillard, said to own $50, 000 in west side property, in a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Kate Kane Rossi, a tenant of his flat building at 130 West Twelfth street. Spillard declares he had recently ordered the Rossis from the house for nonpayment of rent. He says a smoking chimney Inter fered with workmen on his unfinished building next to the Rossi home and he placed a number of boards over the chimney to give them relief. Out of this, he insists, grew the charge of at tempted arson, Mrs. tRossi claiming It was an attempt to smoke her out of the house, even at the risk of burning the building. $100 Cash Buys a horse, buggy and harnesss.

Philadelphia, June 14. Receiver Thcs. W. Barlow of the suspended People's bank has been enabled as a result of receiving a check for over $400,000 from President James McMannes to make the very gratifying: announcement to the depositors and creditors of the bank that he is now in a position to pay them a dividend of 90 per cent and that the remaining 10 per cent will follow in three months. It will be remembered that the bank was compelled to close its doors as a consequence of the suicide of its cash ier, John S. Hopkins, and that investi gation showed that its resources had been impaired to the extent of $800,000 through loans made to Richard F. Loper and the Guarantors' Finance company, of which Loper was general manager. President McMannes, to whom Hop kins' doings came as a terrible shock, heroically announced that he would personally guarantee that not a. de positor or creditor would lose a dollar by the bank's failure and he has made tils word good to the very letter. REBELLION IN CAMP. A Montana Company Refuses to Drill Until Better Fed. San Francisco, June 14. The newspa pers continue to call attention to the unsanitary conditions existing at Camp Merritt and insist that the location of the camp be changed to preserve the Siealth of the civilians living in that section of the city as well as that of the soldiers now in the camp. An aft ernoon paper says: 'Measles is very prevalent in the camp and threatens to become epidem ic. About 60 cases are in the Field hos pital already and new ones are coming In at the rate of six or eight a day. The doctors isolate the cases as they are discovered, but it is thought quite likely that all who are susceptible will iiave to take their turn with the mal ady. The spread of it may delay the start of the third expedition for Ma nila. The camp conditions are favor able to the spread of any disease that may get a foothold. Typhoid fever has' already shown itself." The Evening Post says: "The men in the Montana regiment nre complaining of the food served them.

Springfield, III., June 14.' The state board of arbitration has rendered its decision in the controversy between the Chicago Virden Coal company, the Virden Coal company, the Chatham Coal company, the Girard Coal com pany and the Ocara and King Mining company and their employes. The miners insisted on payments by the operators of the scale of 40 cents a ton, fixed by the sub-districts. The operators refused to pay it. say ing they could not do so and compete in the market with other mines. The board finds that while the agreement fixing the scale is not a contract in a technical sense, it is such an agreement that its terms should not be set aside except by the parties themselves. It has met with the general acquiescance of 853 operators in the state employing more than 33,000 men. The scale has been accepted by all, with the exception of the operators of about a dozen mines employing approximately 1,500 men. No case has so far arisen in which the miners have refused to abide by the scale. The board finds no grounds to inter fere until the agreement shall have been mutually abandoned and declines to set aside the scale. DEPEU" AT THE RACES.

The collapse of th-j Leiter wheat corner has caused a pan ic in the Liverpool market. In Lon don the news was received with equan imity. The concensus of opinion of a number of operators on Mark Lane is that the English markets will get a steadiness now that "a plunger operat ing without regard to market preced ence is shaken out." It is asserted on Mark Lane that the collapse was due to Messrs. Armour and Pillsbury. The newspapers gen erally, rejoice at the break down of the Leiter plans and point to it as a moral. The Star says: "If the prime mover in this war against mankind is beg gared by his greed, the retribution is well merited. Nothing can atone for the awful suffering Leiter and his accom plices have caused." THE REAL THING. Rough Riders of the West so Regarded. New York Laughs at Kid-GIored Cohorts. TEDDY IS CRITICISED. Grigsby's Fighters Receive the Praise And of Them Much Is Expected in War. (Protected by General Copyright. All Rights Reserved.) New York, June 14. One of the most spectacular events of the war with Spain has been provided by "Teddy" Roosevelt and his band of alleged "rough riders." Dispatches from the south teem with the strange conglomeration of Fifih avenue dudes and so-called cowboys, until one grows heartily sick of it all. When Colo nel Roosevelt resigned his responsible post as assistant secretary of the navy to raise his band of terrible warriors, the more conservative of his friends did not hesi tate to indulge in hostile criticism. They argued, and not without good grounds, that it was, to "use a bit of expressive slang, a "grand stand clay." And we In Xew York have grown quite hysterical over the doings of the redoubt able "Teddy" and his kid-gloved cohorts, unless, perchance, we have been gifted with a sense of humor, in which event we have been quietly amused. Hut there are many of us who take "Teddy" and his rough riders quite seriously, not realizing that down at Chickamaugu, eagerly await ing an opportunity to get into the right ing, is another band of rough riders, who are just exactly what they seem to be. I refer to Colonel Milt Grigsby's troop of volunteer cavalry, consisting of t40 genuine, simon-pure cowboys and plains men. They are, perhaps, not as pretty as Roosevelt's pets. They are big bronzed fellows, every one a born horseman and a dead shot, every one used to exposure and hardened by years of life on the plains. Many of them have records as Indian fighters and are imbued with intense pa triotism. There are no valets in the camp of Colo nel Grigsby's Third regiment at Chicka mauga. There are no golf sticks and polo clubs to be kept in order. The society reporter would pass this camp of plains men by with' a sniff of disdain. And yet there are men there, from the colonel down to the most obscure trooper, who have records to be proud of, and who have in them the stuff that heroes are made of. There are no pampered sons of the rich in this outMt. These men do not look up on their enlistment as a holiday jaunt. They are there to right, not as posers, and the fighting can't begin any too soon to suit them. Your true westerner can only be com manded by a man for whom he has a re spect born of superiority. And in Colo nel Grigsby they have a man in whom that respect is very deep-rooted. Al though comparatively a young man, his life has been filled with adventure. At the close of the civil war, through which he fought with distinction, he went to Da kota and grew up with the country. He has seen its most lawless days. For 25 years he has resided in the state, and is at present attorney general of South Da kota. During the civil war hp was once a pris oner at Andersonville and twice a prisoner at the equally horrible prison pen at Flor ence, S. C. On both occasions he es caped, being recaptured the first time, after having spent So days in the swamps. His sobriquet, "The Smoked Yank," was given him after he reached Sherman's army, because of his grimy face, the re sult of long exposure and the soot of many solitary camprires in the wilderness. At the conclusion of the war he wrote a book on his experiences, which lie called "The Smoked Yank." The regiment is officered by men all of whom have made names for themselves in the west. Lieutenant Colonel Floyd of Helena. Mont., is a graduate of West I Point, who has passed through many ex citing Indian campaigns. Major Leigh H. Frenc h, the senior major of the regiment, is a Washington surgeon, but he has spent most of his life in the west. During the last few years, however. he has been hunt ing big game in the jungles of Africa. Major Robert S. Stewart, commander of the second squadron, is of a younger gen eration, and consequently has not seen so much of wild life. He is a lawyer. Dur ing the winter months it has been his practice to follow the hounds on wolf hunts across the Sioux reservation, where he became popular with the hundreds of cowboys in that vicinity. Captain Jack Foster. Captain Joseph Binder and Captain Bullock command re spectively troops A. B and C. All have records as tighters and all have been ter rors to the evildoers of the early days. Captain Bullock is one of the best known men of the northwest. After serving as captain of the vigilantes at Helena, Mont., and building up a flourishing cemetery in which repose some of the most noted des peradoes of the early '70s, he transferred his held of operations to Dead wood, then the toughest community in the west. His record had preceded him and he was made the first sheriff of Lawrence county. When a young woman sits down and ponders over her future life, there is one all-important subject which she should not forget. In a day dream she may build castles in the air with a happy home, laugh ing children and a loving husband in the fore-ground. At that moment she may be facing death. Matrimony and motherhood bold out no happiness to the young woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. The wo man who suffers in this way will be a weak, nervous, sickly, petulant wife, an incapable mother and an unamiable hostess. .Not knowing the truth, her acquaintances will not understand that she is deserving of pity rather than reproach. Any woman may be strong and healthy in a womanly way if she will use the right remedy. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for weak and ailing women. It acts directly on the -delicate and important organs that make wife hood and motherhood possible. It makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It banishes the dangers that surround ma ternity. It insures a healthy baby and an ample supply of nourishment. Thousands of women who were weak, sickly, nervous invalids, are now healthy, robust wives and competent mothers of healthy children, as the result of the use of this medicine. Mrs. John M. Conklin, of Patterson, Putnam Co., X. Y., (Box 104), writes: I am enjoying frfrfrci health and have been since I took the last bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I had falling of the internal organs, or female weakness, and flowing caused by miscarriage, and was very weak when I commenced taking your medicine." The unfailing, never -griping cure for constipation Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. "When I first went to Deadwood," re marked Captain Bullock the other day, "they killed about one man a day In street fights, and no one was ever punished. When I got through with my second term not more than one man was killed in a week." One of the first and most notorious cases of lynch trial occurred about the time Captain Bullock came over the trail from Montana. This was the trial and acquittal of "Jack" McCall for the killing of "Wild Bill." Bullock had not yet ob tained his commission as sheriff, and he did net interfere in the trial, which was conducted in the open street. There was no doubt about the killing of "Wild Bill" by McCall, but the murderer told a story of wrongs done him by "Wild Bill" and the jury decided to let him go, provided he could escape the mob. They took him up to the head of the gulch, mounted him on a horse and told him to ride for his life. At the end of one minute every man in the camp would commence shooting at him. It is need less to say that McCall made fast time and turned a bend in the road just as 100 rifles cracked at the end of the speci fied time. Since that time Bullock has been identified with Deadwood as one of its leading citizens. Captain Foster of troop A comes of old pioneer righting stock. He was born in Oonzales county, Tex., near the Indian Territory, at that time overrun with des peradoes. His father was one of the famous Texas rangers. In 1S74 Captain Foster come north with a band of cow boys, going through Indian Territory and Kansas driving 5.000 head of cattle to mar ket. It was while on the western border of the Indian Territory that they were raided by a band of Indians and white desperadoes, who sought to drive off the cattle. A fight ensued in which 18 In dians were killed and Captain Foster now has the scalps of rive redskins as memen toes of that eventful raid. Later he went to Montana and the Black Hills, where he engaged In freighting. Still later he located on the Missouri river near Chamberlain, a town which at that time was filled with noted horsethieves and criminals. Their depredations be came so ijold that the decent citizens, up on searching for a man capable of coping with the rougher element, selected Foster for marshal. Here he made a great rec ord and finally succeeded in driving the thieves from the country and restoring or der. The commander of troop B. Captain Bin der, lives at Cheyenne Agency, where he owns a ranch with 1,000 head of cattle. He was born in Cincinnati, where he enlisted in the regular army as a private in 1878. He was soon made a non-commissioned officer, and served rive years at the vari ous western military posts. He took part in the campaign against the northern Cheyennes under Colonel Bartlett. in the fal lof 1S7S, and was of the party that captured and returned the Indians to Fort Robinson. At the expiration of his erv ice he located at Cheyenne River. And these are the real rough riders. While Roosevelt's theatrical troopers have been exploited at great length. G-rigsby's men have been quietly going about their business. If there has been any stealing of thunder, time and the fortunes of war may be depended upon to set matters right. UNDER FORECLOSURE. Property of Sausage Maker Luetgert Sold in Chicago. Chicago.June 14. Memories of Adolpta Luetgert and his missing wife were re vived by a sale under foreclosure in the rooms of the Real Estate board. The property sold was two vacant lots in Luetgert's subdivision of a block of land lying south of Diversey avenue and east of the tracks of the Chicago Northwestern railroad. The purchas er was William Eckhardt, who five years ago made a loan of JS00, with the two lots as security. The price paid yesterday was $1,063.26, enough to cover the principal and interest and tax ac cumulations. The mortgage in the foreclosure of which the sale was ordered bore the names of many persons now known the world over. Among them were these of Adolph Lifetgert, Louise Luetgert, Christina Field, Marie Reding and Rob ert Berger, trustee. At the time the sale was called there were but few per sons present in the salesrooms of the board at the corner of Dearborn and Randolph streets. The advertisement of the foreclosure was read by the master of chancery and the call for bids was made. Only one was offered and that was made by a clerk in the office of Mr. Eckhardt's lawyer. The property was promptly sold to him. MUST PAY TAXES. Rockefellers Saving a Contest With Township Assessors. New York, June 14. The fight be tween the Rockefellers and the asses sors of the village of North Tarrytown and the township of Mount Pleasant is to be prosecuted. The latest order is sued by William Rockefeller is to keep Michael Martin, the chairman of the Mount Pleasant assessors, off his es tate. Martin assessed the Rockefeller man sion and land at $2,500,000, and the law suit has now reached a critical point. The assessors had to have experts to prove the value of Rockwood Hall.They engaged James Parr, Philip A. Ed munds, and Andrew H. Brown. Martin wanted to go through the mansion with them but Mr. Hawkes, Mr. Rockefel ler's superintendent, refused to allow him on the grounds. The village assessors will not reduce the assessment. One of the Rockefel ler representatives said today that they will not pay their taxes this year, but obtain an order suspending the collec tion until the suits are decided. Rocke feller's lawyers believe they have excel lent proof for their side. KESTER REINSTATED. Expelled From Church Because He Was a Sewing Machine Agent Wabash, Ind., June 14. John D. Hes ter, a member of the German Baptist church, in Chester tewnship, this coun ty, accepted the agency of a sewing machine company and traveled over this county selling machines. He was admonished by some of the brethren that the occupation was ungodly and he must abandon it. Kester declined to do so and was expelled from the church. He appealed to the annual conference, and was today notified of hi3 reinstatement, and the local church officials have readmitted him, but there is intense feeling and it is said the end is not yet. CONVEY MALARIA. Another Crime Charged Against the Mosquito. Berlin, June 14. Prof.Koch has made the interesting discovery that mosqui toes are largely the cause of malaria. He followed this line of reasoning after investigating the manner of spreading fever among Texas cattle by means of the tick. He says that he has found that wherever there, have been found mosquitoes in large'-quantities there malaria was most prevalent. The dis ease, he holds, is conveyed to the vic tim in the same way that the fever is communicated to the cattle by the tick. He urges a systematic use of quinine. Omaha Exposition.

Washington, June 14. For nearly two hours yesterday the senate had under discussion the resolution of Mr. Lodge (Mass.), directing the claims committee to make an inquiry as to the disposi tion of the money appVopriated by con gress to pay the claims of the book con cern of the Methodist Episcopal church south. A heated colloquy between Mr. Chandler (N. H.), and Mr. Pasco was the feature of the discussion. Mr. Chandler said that Mr. Pasco was un wittingly and unwillingly the agent through which a deception had been practiced upon the senate. Mr. Pasco demanded the withdrawal of the state ment but Mr. Chandler insisted that it was correct and refused to withdraw it, although he disclaimed any intention to reflect upon Mr. Pasco's honor. The discussion of the matter developed the fact that Major R. B. Stahlman was the lobbyist who had received about $100,000 of the amount awarded to the church, and Messrs. Hoar, Chandler and Till man were free in asserting that the church officials should see to it that he Is compelled to disgorge the amount which had been paid him, in view of his and their assertions that none of the money awarded had been pledged or would be paid to lobbyists. MEETS AT BELOIT. Sixth District Republican Con gressional Convention Tomorrow. Eeloit, June 14. The Sixth district congressional convention which meets at this city tomorrow will differ from other conventions of the year in that it will not be attended by a large number of Republican candidates for places on the state ticket. The convention at Hutchinson settled these matters and the candidates who are now in this city desire only the nomination for con gress in this district and an opportun ity to make the race against the Popu list incumbent, N. B. McCormick who has been renominated for a second term. In view of the frequently ex pressed criticism of his career in Wash ington the Republicans feel that the nomination of a first-class candidate will redeem the district from the Popu lists who have had uninterrupted con trol throughout since 1890. The man who starts in a convention with the largest number of votes is generally regarded as the one against whom combinations, resulting in his de feat, are likely to be made. However, the Hutchinson convention nominated the man who had the most votes at the outset in every instance. Using this as a precedent the friends of W. A. Reeder of Logan are confident of his success in the convention. The field of candidates is large, and they will start in with about the following strength: W. A. Reeder, Logan 47 H. L. Pestana. Russell 30 W. H. Haskell, Smith 21 S. N. Hawkes, Rooks 10 Theo. Sternberg, Ellsworth 8 A. Hemming, Rawlins 4 Total 120 There are 131 votes in the twenty-one counties comprising the district. Where the remaining 11 votes of Cheyenne.De catur and Rawlins will- be placed is not at this time known. KANSAS DEDICATION. Ex-Governor Geo. W. Glick Will Open the Kansas Building at Omaha.

The Mystery of Hugh W. Williams is Solved. San Francisco, June 14. The Examiner says: The mystery surrounding the iden tity of Hugh W. Williams, who was shot during a quarrel at the home of Miss Ab bie Gregory in Alameda, is partially eleaie l away by documents found in the room of the dead man which show that he receiv ed letters from England addressed "Sir Hugh W. Williams, Bart, F. S., M. I. C. E." This would indicate that Sir Hugh Williams was a baronet, a fellow the geo logical society and a member in civil en gineering. At one time Williams was a member of the great machine firm of J. E. H. Andrew Co. of Red Ditch. Eng. Williams left England a few years ago and went to Victoria, B. C.
