THIRD EDITION. THURSDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS. JUNE 16, 1898. THURSDAY EVENING, TWO CENTS. REEDOM! Home Rule Returned to the Cities of Kansas -By the Populist State Conven tion Today. The Convention Demands the Immediate Suspension Of METROPOLITAN LAW. This Will Result in Resignation of All Police Forces. Topeka and Other Cities Will Select Their Own Police. THE MOVE POPULAR. Mayor Fellows Will Appoint a Xew Chief Here. Gov. Leedy Said to Oppose "Im mediate" Suspension. The second day of the Populist state convention was opened at Hamilton hall this morning- without music or any preliminaries. Many delegates seem to be suffering from loss of sleep but there were few vacant seats. S. J. .McNaughton of Leavenworth county appeared before the convention to report on the result of the confer ence. He said: "We met the gentle men representing the Democrats and had a very pleasant session on the ticket lasting from 11 o'clock last night until a late hour. The Democrats de mand the place of lieutenant governor and a minor position on the ticket and I appear before this convention for in structions. "Greenback" 'Williams of Cloud coun ty moved that the Democrats be al lowed the position of lieutenant gover nor and no more. Levi Dumbauld said: "As a member of the conference committee I will say that the Democrats are wiling to- take any minor place on the ticket as the second place." Mr. Williams motion vas adopted with only a few scattering votes in the negative. This means that the Populists will concede nothing but the position of lieutenant governor. Irwin Stratum of Wichita took up the thread of his discussion on his mo tion to reconsider the vote by which the stock yards plank of the platform was rejected. He was followed by the author of the plank. Geo. M. Munger, a prosperous farmer from Greenwood county. He made a stirring speech in favor of state ownership of stock yards and claimed that the enemy had defeated the plank in the platform by a trick. Dr. Borah of Rice county opposed state ownership of the stock yard,s. P. P. 'Klder advised the convention to not take hasty action. He thought it would be better to wait until the su preme court acted upon the stock yards law. Edwin Taylor cf Wyandotte county favored immedate action in favor of state ownership of stock yards. He was followed by Patrick O'Farrell of Wyan dotte county. Ben Johnson of Labette county said that the Populist party was organized to fight monopolies and he wanted to have the battle continued. Geo. W. Clark of Topeka said he thought that the convention acted wisely when it rejected the stock yards plank. Stockyards Reconsidered. Senator liyan said: "This resolution can not do us any harm for if the stock .yards company had its way it would wipe the Populist party off the face of the earth before night.' Carl Vrooman. Senator Shearer and Fred Close made short talks in favor of the stockyards plank. The previous question was then or dered and by a nearly unanimous vote the question was reconsidered and the plank as adopted. W. F. Brown of Pratt county moved that the resolutions as reported last night be adopted as a whole. 12. P.. Pfost objected to the part of the resolution demanding the abolition of the metropolitan police law. He said it would be bad policy to abolish the system now. He offered an amendment Ftriking out the words"immediate abol ition" and insert the word "repeal." so that the next legislature may dispose of the system. W. F. Krown wanted the metropoli tan police system abolished at once. County Attorney I. T. Shephard of Fort Scott Faid: "Governor Leedy made one mistake and that was in ap pointing police commissioners. If there 4s one thing that can be said in favor of the metropolitan police system I would like to hear it. You say it will thurt us to do this, but I tell you that the whisky crowd has no following anywhere. They always have sold out the party in power if they think the other fellows are going to win. I un derstand that the metropolitan police system is to be abolished in Wichita in a few days anyhow." 0. O. Outcault of Coffey county want ed the legislature to share the respon sibility with Gov. Leedy. "Some one has said that Governor Leedv made a mistake and knows it but I believe that Governor Leedy 1s brave enough to go back on his record if he finds out that he has made a mistake." L. A. Stebbins of Topeka said: "As the chosen spokesman of twenty dele rates from Shawnee county I say that we are emphatically in favor of the original resolution." Edwin Taylor of Wyandotte said: "I come from the county that has the rot tenest police system in the state but I doubt the wisdom of changing horses In the middle of the stream." 1. T. Shepherd I would like f ask the gentleman if anything good can be said of the metropolitan police system. Mr. Taylor No. Mr. Shepherd Will it be honest for us to oppose this resolution? Mr. Taylor Honest enough. There is a question of policy in this. W.i F. Brown Is it not policy always to do right? Mr. Taylor Tes, but we should use judgment. Clem Fairchild then secured recog nition "The metropolitan police law was not intended to secure the enforce ment of the law. It was enacted to fool the prohibition farmers and catch the whisky vote in the cities." J. E. East fly of Greenwood county offered a substitute calling for the im mediate suspension of the metropolitan police system and its repeal afterward. I. T. Shephard demanded a roll call. Then erlsued five minutes of excite ment during which delegates gathered in little crowds and talked excitedly. The substitute (favoring the suspen sion of the metropolitan police law) v.fcs declared adopted by a vote of 3S0 to 32. A half dozen delegates started to cf fer amendments to other resolutions but Carl Vrooman moved to adopt the resolutions as a whole and the motion was carried without opposition. This leaves the resolutions as origi nally reported by the committee with the single exception of the one in refer ence to the metropolitan police law which was amended only in a minor particular. The convention then adjourned to 2 p. m. The fight for a reconsideraton of the metropolitan police plank was opened early in the afternoon session of the Populist convention today by a motion to reconsider made by J. C. Vogle of Cherokee county. Carl Vrooman of Parsons supported the motion to reconsider. "It is wise to do right," said he. "but it is not wise to do right at the wrong time. In the name of the people of Kansas, I im plore you to use your brains and not endanger the prnciples of reform for a single proposition." County Attorney Stevens of Cherokee county said: "There is no such a thing as doing right at the wrong time. It is a dangerous precedent to adopt something you know to be wrong. What explanaton will you give for your ac tion?" "We can repeal the law," interrupted a delegate. "We can repeal it now," said Mr. Stevens. "I would rather go down to defeat than champion a measure I know to be wrong." Grant Harrington of Hiawatha said: "If the metropolitan- police system is wrong next January it is wrong now. If you turn this down it means you want to depend upon the liquor men for your financial fund. The Republicans are already gathering statistics to show the location of the joints in cities of the first class, but you have knocked them out on that proposition. You have spiked a Republican gun and don't un spike it now." E. B. Pfost of Kansas City said: "The enemies are getting ready to knife Governor Leedy and you are helping them. I am against the metro politan police law and I pledge you that if Governor Leedy is elected he will repeal the law at once," He said that the Democrats should be considered but was muzzled in an instant by Jake Shephard; who asked: "Have you ever heard of a Demo cratic convention that did not declare in favor of abolishing the metropolitan police system?" When Pfost started to leave the plat form W. F. Brown of Pratt called him back to ask: "You are familiar with the law. Can you point to a good feature in the law?" Mr. Pfost "Yes, I think I can. The best thing about it is that it keeps the police department out of the hands of a Republican mayor." This raised a laugh. S. W. Case of Reno county attacked the plank adopted. We charged the convention with trying to merge the legislature and executive departments by directing the executive to assume the duties of the legislature. WILL LEEDY OBJECT. It is Said He Does Not Want Imme diate Suspension. At noon today Governor Leedy was not pleased over the action of the Pop ulist convention in incorporating a clause for the immediate suspension of the metropolitan police system in the resolution calling for the repeal of the law. At that time it was his intention to go before the convention this afternoon and make a speech, practically asking the convention to withdraw that por tion of the resolutions. To newspaper men Governor Leedy refused to make any statement for publication, saying that he would make whatever statement he had to make to the parties immediately interested, meaning the delegates at the conven tion. While he is in favor of the repeal of the metropolitan police law he does not want the responsibility of the immedi ate suspension of the system, and wants the entire responsibility thrown on the legislature. He has the idea that to suspend the system now would be detrimental to his interests in the fall campaign. He believes that the men now being bene fitted by the system and their friends would turn against him in the cities where it is in force, and do him mater ial injury. He seems to lose sight of the fact that the convention has reliev ed him of all responsibility by demand ing suspension. "The most popular thing Governor Leedy could do," said a prominent del egate at noon today, would be to sus pend the system before he went into the hall to accept the renomination as governor. He can't buck the conven tion and it would be foolish for him to ask the convention to withdraw the im mediate suspension clause. If he sus pends the metropolitan police system at once it will spike the biggest gun of the Republicans in the campaign and will likewise spike Peffer's boom as gover nor on the Prohibition ticket." Friends of the governor visited, his room in. the National hotel as soon as the convention adjourned at noon, and it may be that he will be persuaded to accept the action of the committee without remonstrance and possibly give notice of the suspension of the system before going before the convention to accept the renomination CHIEF STEELE'S LAMENT. Thinks Suspension of Police Law Will Lose Populist Votes. Chief of Police Henry Steele was in the hall during the fight for the imme diate suspension of the metropolitan polic? system and watched the pro ceedings without a comment until the vote had been announced. The vote was a. command to Governor Leedy to abolish the system at once and it would carry with it the discharge of Chief Steele. Steele was seen just after the vote had been taken. "It looks to me as if the Populists are playing into Repub lican hands," said he. "They are giv ing the Republicans a club with which they can beat out their brains. It means the loss of many votes to "the Populist ticket. "So far as I am personally concerned I do not favor the metropolitan police system, but I have served on the po lice force under both systems and I am satisfied that this is a great deal better than the old system. "I do not know what Governor Leedy will do; I am sure if he abolishes the system it will mean the loss of many votes." Many Populists in the city think that it will win hundreds of votes. LEEDY ftlAY DECLINE Nomination If He Does Attor ney General Boyle Will He Nominated. It was reported this afternoon that Governor Leedy told a delegate at noon today that he thought he would decline the nomination If the convention did not reconsider its position on the metro politan police law. There is an effort now being made to organize the delegates with a view to nominating Attorney General Boyle for governor in the event that Governor Leedy takes the stand he now threat ens to take. Jake Shephard of Fort -Scott said at 1:40 this afternoon: "Let Leedy de cline the nomination if he wants to. The convention would not ask anything better. There are plenty of good men to nominate." Shephard was the law partner of Attorney General Boyle at Fort Scott. An effort will be made to have the vote on the metropolitan police clause of the platform reconsidered and Gov ernor Leedy's "coup" is planned to be made at that time. MADE NO DEMANDS. Populist and Free Silver Men Now Practically One Party. Attorney General Boyle made a short address and J. S. Ensminger read the following report from the conference committee with the Free Silver Repub licans: "We, the members of your committee, respectfully represent that we met in conference a like committee from the Free Silver Republican convention which very magnanimously and gen erously reported that they had no de mands to make of the Populists and in sisted on no position on the ticket but that they would gladly and freely sup port the nominees of the convention and work faithfully for their election." The report was received with such a favorable demonstration that Chair man King announced its adoption with out the question being submitted to. a vote. BY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS Formation of the New Populist State Central Committee. At the Populist state convention last night Senator Householder moved that the convention select members of the state central committee. This motion was adopted. Senator Householder then moved that the selection of members of the central committee be made by sena torial districts. Senator Titus was opposed to the plan and offered as an amendment that the selection be made by judicial dis tricts. Delegate O'Neil of Wyandotte county moved as a substitute that two mem bers of the committee be selected from each congressional district. After a lengthy discussion a roll call was or dered and the substitute providing for two members from each congressional district was carried by a vote of 411 to 288. The state central committee was com pleted this morning according to the plan adopted to have two members selected from each congressional dis trict. The committee is as follows: Grant W. Harrington, Brown county. H. B. Shafer, Jefferson county. E. B. Pfost, Wyandotte county. H. S. Clark, Douglass county. Carl Vrooman, Labette county. J. C. Bradshaw, Cowley county. W. T. Tipton, Coffey county. A. W. Logan, Osage county. Andrew Shearer, Marshall county. Pierce Butler, Cloud county. S. M. Cook. Smith county. C. H. Emmons, Graham county. E. J. Westgate, Finney county. B. E. Kies, Sedgwick county. DEMOCRATIC AUXILIARIES. Democratic Convention at Atchison Chimes in With Populists Here. Atchison, June 16. David Overmyer struck the keynote in his speech accept ing the chairmanship of the convention when he urged "united action." His views expressed the sentiments of nine tenths of the convention. Several amendments were offered to different planks, but the platform as originally reported by the committee was adopted amid great enthusiasm. At the night session, when the adop tion of the platform was taken up. Bar ney Sheridan of Miami presented a mi nority report signed by three members of the committee recommending mat the following clause be inserted in the platform in lieu of the one indorsing the state administration: "Resolved, That honesty in politics and the preservation of the name, character and life of the Democratic party of Kansas, demand that a state ticket of straight Democrats from governor down shall be nominated here and now." A motion was made to lay the minori ty report on the table, but the chair man would not permit the gag rule to be forced, and. with the consent of the convention. Mr. Sheridan was permitted to make a speech in behalf of his report. He made a strong plea for the preserva tion of the party and begged the dele- Continued on Sixth Page. ALL RENOMINATED.

Webb McXall's First Visit to a Populist Convention Results in an Ovation by the Delegates. WEBB SAYS LEEDY Always Asked Kim: "Webb, are You Sure You're Right J" And Then Told Him Right Ahead to Go And "Whale It" to Law-Breaking Insurance Companies. Webb McNall entered the Populist convention hall yesterday afternoon and a delegate caught sight of him and started a shout for McNall.' Instantly the hall was in an uproar and Chair man King led Mr. McNall to the front of the platform where he was given a tremendous ovation. "I will introduce to you," said Chair man King "You don't need to introduce him,' shouted a delegate "I will introduce to you," continued Chairman King, "the greatest insur ance commissioner Kansas ever had.' "The greatest any state ever had,' screamed a delegate from Wyandotte county, above the uproar that followed Senator King's introduction. Commissioner McNall started out by saying that it was the first time he had ever addressed a Populist state convention. He then remarked that the convention didn't look vastly dif ferent from conventions of other par ties. Continuing Commissioner McNall said: "Two years ago we elected a state ticket and six out of eight congressmen and every one of those men have car ried out the principles of the platforms they were elected on to the best of their ability. Men ask us sometimes what the Kansas Populist congressmen have done during the past two years. Well, maybe they haven't done very much, but I know Republican congressmen that haven't done much either; and when you come to think that even President McKinley and his national administration couldn't get a vote on the Hawaiian question because of lorn Reed's dictation in the house, it is no longer a wonder that the Populist con gressmen haven't been able to do much in an antagonistic body. The best they can do is answer to the roll call and vote their principles and convictions." Referring to his insurance warfare, Commissioner McNall said: "There has been a peculiar atmos phere in this state during the past two years. I have felt it to some extent, but the other fellows have felt it to a much greater extent. Because I at tempted to enforce the law as stated in the fortieth Kansas, I was indicted by a federal grand jury for obstructing justice. All I had to do and could do was to refer them to Horton, Valentine and Johnson, three Republican jurists, and I suggest that when the federal court gets through with me, it tackle them. I want to say that during all the trouble I have had since taking the office of superintendent of insur ance the governor of this state has stood at my back. I want to say that if there is any credit due me for what actions I have taken while in office just as much credit is due to John W. Leedy. (Cheers.) "The only thing he has ever asked me when I have taken these whirls of mine has been: 'Webb, are you sure you're right,' and of course I have al ways said I was right. That settled the matter in every instance, and he has invariably stood by me. And. gentle men, I have stood by him. and intend to stay by him." In conclusion Commissioner McNall said: "While I apprehend that two years from now there will be a realignment of things, just now I wish to say there is no one authorized to pull any one off the ticket. I believe that every voter who was in favor of fusion two years ago is in favor of it today. There is but one change that I could suggest, and that is in regard to the metropoli tan police law. I believe you should favor its abolishment in your platform. It was not incorporated in your plat form two years ago, and you are not tied to it." STATE EIRE INSURANCE. Webb McNall's Resolution Providing For It is Adopted. When the section providing for state Insurance was read it included life in surance also, which was more than Superintendent McNall had recom mended. A deles-ate. moved that the word"life be stricken out. A delegate from the Second district asked to have the state insurance feature apply to chinch bugs. A motion was then made to Ftrme out the entire section. It was late but the delegates were wide awake and warming up. A motion to adjourn was lost. W. J. Babb of Wichita accused the Populists of being inconsistent in vot ing down the stock yards measure end voting no on state insurance. "Ubat do you mean by this, gentlemen?" said he. "If you are going to be opposed to state ownership turn it all down. Don't play fast and loose." Lyman Naugle of Wellington moved to recommit the resolutions. Not en tertained. Geo. M. Munger asked for careful con sideration of the insurance resolution. A Seventh district delegate said there was danger of such a law being uncon stitutional. C. B. Hoffman of Enterprise said that all legal objections would be rem edied by a constitutional convention. W. F. Brown said that the convention talked like Republicans, when they spoke against the state insurance. The motion to strike out the section in favor of state insurance was lost by an almost unanimous vote. A dozen delegates clamored for rec ognition to discuss question of strik ing out the reference to "life," and making the insurance apply to"fire and tornado'.' instead. Chase Johnson said that state life in surance would interfere with fraternal insurance. Gomer Davies said that it would be a mistake to ignore the Kansas insur ance organizations. "You will turn 150,000 men against us if you adopt this section in favor of state life insurance," said he. E. B. Pfast said he did not believe delegates wanted to slap the fraternal insurance companies in the face. Geo. M. Munger said that there was no aim to hurt fraternal insurance or ders but the great insurance compa nies. B. E. Kies said: "I belong to three fraternal organizations, but I favor state insurance." Jake Shephard said: "I understand Mr. McNall said the word 'life' ought to come out. Let us hear from him." Webb McNall appeared. "I will say to the convention that the resolution I sent to the committee on resolutions did not contain the word 'life.' (Reads a copy of the resolution sent to the committee.) A motion to strike out the word "life" and insert "lightning and torna do." was adopted. The section on state insurance was then adopted as amended. TOPEKA WILL BE DRY. Mayor Fellows Says if He Ap points Police Chief He Will Enforce the Law. Mayor Chas. A. Fellows said today that if the metropolitan police law was suspended by Governor Leedy, that Topeka would be a dry town. He said: KEY vtI'3?""- Starting Point, Course "If I have the appointment of city mar shal and police judge and the police force I will either enforce the law or re sign. Topeka will be a dry town in a wet season. There will be no more Kansas City bars shipped in to Tope ka." Mayor Fellows was asked about ap pointments. He replied: "I hadn't thought about them, for this was so sudden. When that comes up I will confer with the council, and men will be appointed to places whom we con sider fit for the positions. You can say that those who apply for jobs will not be appointed." The law in this case gives the appoint ment of the police force into the hands of the mayor, with the consent of the council. Chap. 181. Session Laws of 1889, sec tion 8 provides. That whenever the governor shall deem it no longer neces sary to continue the government of any city by this act the governor shall issue and cause to be published in the official state paper his proclamation to that ef fect; thereupon a police judge, a mar shal and a sufficient number of police men shall be appointed by the mayor, by and with the consent of the coun cil, in like manner as if this act had never been passed; and the functions and salaries of the police judge under this act shall cease and determine upon the appointment of such police judge and his qualification under such ap pointment; and the functions and sala ries of all officers under this act shall cease and determine upon the appoint ment of such policemen and marshal by the mayor by and with consent of the council, and their qualification un der such appointment." Section 135. chapter 32 of Vol. 1 of the general statutes of Kansas, 1897. provides that "In case of a vacancy in the office of police judge by death, res ignation, or otherwise, or in case of his absence, interest or inability to per form his duties, it shall be the duty of any justice of the peace of the town ship who shall be designated by the mayor, to act as police judge during such vacancy, absence or disability, in the trial of causes cognizable before the said judge." Just who will be appointed police judge and who city marshal should the metropolitan police law be suspend ed is not known, but a well known Re publican who is a close friend of Mayor Fellows said today: "John Wilkerson wouldn't probably accept the position. John Gardiner stands a good show for appointment as chief. There is a ques tion whether the mayor has to appoint a justice of the peace or whether he can appoint any lawyer whom he sees fit. In case it is a justice of the peace, it is safe to say that W. S. McClintock will receive the appointment. "In the matter of appointing a law yer. Judge L. S. Ferry, who was police judge under the Morrill administration, will receive, the appointment if In will accept it. That is very probable." Tables, Tables and Tables.

Camp McCalla, Guantanamo Bay Wednesday, June 13. 3:30 p. m., via Kingston, Jamaica, Thursday, June 16. The brick fort and earthworks at Caimanera at the end of the railroad leading to the city of Guantanamo were demolished today by the bombard ment of the Texas, Marblehead and Suwanee. The warships opened fire at 2 p. m., and the bombardment lasted one hour and thirty minutes. -iVf c..: and Destination of Shafter's Fleet of Transports. The Texas steamed slowly up the channel leading to the fortifications followed closely by the Marblehead. The Texas fired two shots as range finders, both falling short and to the right. The Marblehead stood off to the west side of the channel and opened with her five inch guns on the fort, knocking down a part of the wall. The Texas threw in some 12-inch shells, tearing down the walls of the fort and throwing the bricks and mor tar thirty feet in the air. After badly damaging the fort, the Marblehead stood further in to shell the earthworks and barracks at the west end of the harbor. She knocked them into the air and when the Spaniards fled from the fort they were shelled by the St. Paul and driven into the bushes. The Spaniards fired only five shots, which did no damage. After the ships stood out into the harbor the Spanish in the bushes opened fire on the Mar blehead's launch, which replied vigor ously. The Suwanee then turned back and shelled the bushes, driving the Span iards inland. THE MOVE ON PORTO RICO. Is Expected to Take Place Within lO Days. Washington, Jure IS. It is stated by high officials that it is hoped that the expedition to Porto Rico could be so rush ed as to get it away within the next ten (lays. Whether the extensive prepara tions, the moving of troops, the gather ing of transports and rite movement in de tail can be executed in ibis lime is open to doubt, although extraordinary execu tion marks every hrunch of the military service in advancing the expedition to completion. The progress- of General Shafter'r-: army of invasion comes in for much attention both at the war and navy departments, for there is joint interest in the time when the army can fuliy reinforce the gallant band of marines, now holding the fort at Guantanamo. No word is possible from this expedition before tomorrow or next day. and- then only in case Aci jiiral Samp son has succeeded in repairing the cable at Guantanamo. He has buoyed the shore end and the navy department is expecting almost momentarily to receive a dispatch direct from the flagship.

SANTA FE WRECK. Passenger Trains Come To gether in Colorado. Denver, June 16. Passenger trp.in No. f westbound and No. 6 eastbounl on the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad collided on a siding at Cunroy, Col., today. The engine on the mm bound train and the combination bag gage and express car on the west bound train were badly damaged and the wreckage delayed traffic ten luura. Kxpress Messenger Travis had ;t leg broken and six passengers whose mm;- were not learned, were slightly injur ed. The following is the information ob tained at the Santa Fe offices here: Eastbound Santa Fe passenger train No. 6. which was due to arrive in this city at 4 o'clock this afternoon, mi J westbound passenger train No. 5. which, left this city at noon yesterday, collided at Conroy station. Col., just west of the Kansas state line at 3 o'clock tins morning. The baggageman has his ltgs badly bruised and several passengers including Charles Fisher of this city, an employe of the Santa Fe Fuel de partment, was slightly scalded oy es caping steam. The two trains were scheduled to pass at Conroy station, but before No. 5 could take the siding No. 6 passed the station building and the engine struck the baggage car of the westbound train just as it entered the siding. The bag gage car was thrown from the track, and a cylinder on one side of the engine of No. 6 was broken, and the steam from the boiler commenced to escape with a terrific roar. The force of the collision and the noise of the escaping steam in the darkness of the early morning thor-oue-hlv frisrhtened the occupants of I both trains and amid screams and yells they piled pell mell from the cars. The men in the smoking car of the west bound train who rushed to the door of the car when the trains struck, were scalded about the face and hands by the escaping steam. The steam in the boiler of the engine soon exhausted itself, and quiet was re stored. With the exception of the men scalded by the escaping steam it was found that no one had been injured be sides the baggageman of the overturned car. whose legs were badly bruised by trunks falling on them. The collision caused a delay of about four hours to both trains. WIN 1,000 VOTES. Some Populists Believe Sus pension of Police Law Will Do It. Fred crose of the Shawnee county delegation in the Popuiist convention said today: "This resolution demanding the suspension of the metropolitan police system will win 1,000 votes for the Pop ulist ticket in Shawnee county. It will draw votes from all parties. It is the most popuiar thing that could have been done." Same Old Fight. Pittsburg.June 16.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM Prevailed on Board and on the Shore. Major General Green Goes With the Expedition. San Francisco, June 16. Shortly after noon yesterday the announcement was made that the steamer Senator which had been lying at her dock all night, taking on her cargo and undergoing re pairs was ready to go into the stream, and about 1 o'clock the order was given to cast off. At the same time Major General Green ordered the transports Colon, China and Zealandia, which had been anchored off the main dock to weigh their anchors and to prcceed up the bay to join the Senator which had continued her voyage oceanwards with out coming to anchor. Thousands of people had assembled along the docks to witness the depar ture of the fleet and when the signals ordering the vessels to get under way were observed a mighty cheer went up. Added to the cheering of the peopie was the blowing of whistles and the ringing of bells. Every steam vessel in the harbor with steam up blew long blasts r'rom their sirens and every fac tory and mill in the manufacturing district saluted the vessels with blasts from its whistle. Bombs were explod ed and cannon were fired and amid all this hubbub the four stately vessels bearing their loads of humanity and munitions or war passed down the bay. The excitement was intense. The water front was black with peopla and the waving of flags and the handker chiefs presented a beautiful sight. Tiia vessels in the harbor dipped their col ors as the transports passed by and countless yachts and other small craft trailed behind the big steamers asclose ly as safety would permit. The transports themselves were pic turesque indeel. Every available space was occupied by a soldier. High up in to the rigging they climbed and every port hole was filled by a smiling face and the guard rails were hidden be neath struggling masses trying to get points of vantage to get one last glimpse of the city and the thousands of people who have treated them so kindly since they have been in this city. The soldiers were as jolly a lot as could be found. The men cheered themselves hoarse and waved their hats and hand kerchiefs until their arms ached. The small bay craft continued on down the bay with the soldier boys, every now and then saluting the big steamers, which were picking up their speed at every revolution of their pro peller. At last only the more powerful consorts could keep up with the big liners and one by one they were drop ped behind. Tug boats and ferry boats chartered for the occasion, followed the vessels down the bay to the Golden Gate. The afternoon was well nigh gone when the transports reached the ocean and only a few of the "good bye boats" were with them, but the men were still perched in the rigging and waving their good-byes in response to the waving handkerchiefs of the peo ple on the decks of the smaller boats. The four vessels will make fast time to Honolulu, where they will recoal and proceed on their way to join the first fleet of transports which left th;s city three weeks ago today, bound tor the Philippines. It is expected that the China will reach Honolulu first, but after leaving that place the faster boats will wait for the slower vessels so that they will reach their destination about the same time. Assigned to the China, Major General Green's flagship, and the largest, finest and fastest vessel of the fleet, are the first regiment Colorado volunteer in fantrv, 102 men; half a battalion of thf! Eighteenth United States infantry, 150 men and a detachment of United States engineers, 20 men. The Colon took four companies of the Twenty-third infantry and two compa nies of the Eighteenth infantry, both of the regular army and battery A, of the Vtah artillery. In the battery were 121 men and in each of the infantry companies To men besides the officers, making less than 600 military passen gers. The control of the ship was giv en to Lieutenant Colonel Clarence W. Bailey, of the Eighteenth infantry. On the Zealandia were the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers and part of battery B, of the Utah volunteer artil lery. With the gunners went two Max im fighting machines which, as a pre cautionary measure were placed ready for action In the how of the vessel. I a all there were 640 privates and 60 offi cers on board. On the steamer Senator !s the first regiment of Nebraska volunteers num bering 1,023 men and officers. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. 11 Thayer, Father of Kansas Immi gration, Still Lives. Worcester, Mass., June 16. Ell Thayer was 79 years of age Saturday and the an niversary was quietly observed by him at his home at the corner of Aiden street snd Oread Place. The fact that it was the anniversary of Mr. Thayer's natal day was not generally known, but a few intimate friends were aware of the fact and they called to extend their congratu lations. In 1X54 Mr. Thayer introduced the bill to charter the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid company. The bill was framed for the benefit of the eastern people and aim ed at the slavery people, who were trying to get Kansas in the slavery states. Mr. Thayer had a hard fiht in the interests of his company, and found but few who believed in its ultimate success. How ever, by hard and continuous work his efforts "were crowned with success and Kansas was freed from slavery- From '54 to '56 Mr. Thayer was engaged in the in terests of Kansas and traveled many thousands of miles, peaking in many places. At the present time he enjoys rare good health and all his faculties are acute, with the exception of his eyes, which are weak. He intends to undergo an operation for a cataract, and believes his sight may be restored sufficiently to allow him to fin ish his writings. Mr. Thayer walks many miles every day, and frequently walks from his home down town to attend to his business. ANHEUSER-BUSCH SEUler Company Must Drop the Name "BudweiSer." Milwaukee, June 16. In the United States court here Judge Seaman decided" that, the use of the name Budweiser'- by the Miller Brewing company was unfair toward the Anheuwer-Busch company, as the competition under the circumstances was unlawful. The name- Budweiser. the court held, was distinctly geographical, relating to a place in Bavaria, German v. called Bud weis. It was conceded that the name conferred no novelty as a trademark. CAPT. CHARLES B. CLARK, C. I. Jf, This daring navigator and fighter, who is th captain of the first-class battleship Oregon,. brought that ship from San Francisco over 13,000 miles of sea, every inch of which was beset with danger, and has now joined Admiral Sampson's fleet. He Is a native of Vermont, t years of aare, and ha3 seen active service in all parts of the world, For Jour years he was lighthouse inspector at Chicago. There was no foundation, the court said, for the charge that the Miller company's beer was of an inferior product or that it was an ordinary American beer. There was no testimony to disparage its quality. Keither was there simulation of the com plainant's labels and bottles, nor anything calculated to create an imposition upon the public, and there was no false pre tense as to the place of manufacture. It is conceded by Mr. Miller in his tes timony, the court said, that he had no ssecial reason for using the name Bud weiser and that he might have taken any one of a dozen other names .iust as well. "It is therefore apparent," said the court, "that the name was selected for the pur nose of reaching the market held through it for the complainant. The name is so se lected was adopted lor that purpose, or, at least, must he held to have had that effect." The complainant, the court held, was therefore entitled to the relief it prayed an injunction restraining the use of the name. CAPTURES A LAY WEB. San Francisco Variety Girl Wins a Husband in Two Hours. San Francisco, June 16. The good for tune of capturing as a husband a hand some young lawyer whose wealth Is sup posed to be represented by a large figure followed by four ciphers seldom falls to the lot of a variety actress whose salary depends largely on the number of bottles of liquid refreshment she can sell to her chance admirers, but such has been the case with Miss Fldela Casual, who "was married Thursday morning to Augustin Blamire. The two young people met the evening before the marriage, enamored of each other, and after securing the services of a minister departed for the southern part of the state on their wedding trip. Miss Casual, a petite, auburn haired soubrette, secured a position in a well known uptown concert hall the first of this week and considered herself fortun ate, though how much so she little knew. For three nights she did a short turn the early part of the evening, and then oc cupied her time by making herself agree able to the numerous patrons of the place and luring them by her sweet smiles and pleasing ways to pay $3 for four-bit wine, she receiving a certain per cent of the money thus obtained by the housfl. That she must have been eminently successful in securing the elusle dollar for herself and employer is evident from the short time it took her to win Air. Blamire. OHIO BOY'S HONOR.

Montreal Girl Refuses to Become Spain's Spy. Montreal, Quebec. June 16. The lady In Montreal who was approached by the Spaniards while Polo was here to do spy work for them is Miss Chamberlain, a tall, handsome blond, quick and clever, and a great conversationalist. For ob vious reasons she does not want her first name or address published. About a month or five weeks ago, while Polo was hero, she says, she was introduced to a big. dark, good looking Spaniard, who professed to admire her much, gave her a number of valuable presents, end finally told her that he had some business involving a great deal of money in Washington which he could not transact because he could not go into the states. He asked her to go for him, say ing she would have all her expenses paid, and if the matter came off well would be amply rewarded for what she had done. The principal thing for her to do. he said, was to get into the good graces of some high officials. She gave a half promise to go and he had sent her a beau tiful traveling suit, when she, on the ad vice of her friends, reconsidered her in tentions.

Protection for Army Raiders of Rifle Pits in Cuba. Washington, June 16. Two hundred portable protective shields for use by the invading army of the United States in Cuba for raiding rifle pits have been manufactured in this city and will be shipped to Tampa. The "portable breastworks," as the affairs are dubbed by the workmen on gaged on them, consist of two large wooden wheels at either end of a wood en axle about 7 feet long. To this axle is attached a 20 foot ladder, the ladder being fastened about 18 inches from one of its ends. The ladder is used as a lever for the shield, which is fastened to the short protruding end, while the longer portion of the climbing appara tus is used as the means of pushing the affair along. With the steel plate in front of them, proof against all infant ry bullets, it is believed that a small detachment of soldiers will be enabled to take a rifle pit filled with men. It is to avoid the raking fire of the sharp shooters that the shield is designed and is to be used. Once adjacent to the pit or works the ladder is let go.The shield swings down in a vertical position be tween the wheels and beneath the axle, while the ladder is brought to a per pendicular position. It may now be used for scaling purposes. The shields are very simple. Indeed, and were made comparatively rough in order that the plans may be followed and new shields constructed by soldiers in the field. The shield has been tested and found to be absolutely bullet-proof, although a small machine gun would doubtless play havoc with it. One of the steel shields has been shipped to Washington and an entire portable protector, which has something the ap pearance, in construction, of the bat tering ram of olden days, has been set up, to be inspected by the army author ities tomorrow. The order for the ma chines, was given some ten days ago, and they were all completed within the specified time. RING CAUSES TROUBLE. Divorce, a Pawn Ticket and Arrest. the Features.

IS and 25c .Watson's Livery,. 7th and Van Buren. anotherjtar; The House Passes the New lands Resolution Annexing Hawaii to the United States BY A BIG MAJORITY. Republicans Toted Almost Sol idly For It. Speaker Reed Made a Last Kick by Proxy. Washington, June 16. By a vote of 209 to 91 the house of representatives adopted the Newlands resolution providing for the annexation of Hawaii. The debate, which has continued without interruption since Saturday, has been one of the most nota ble of this congress, the proposed annex ation being considered of great commer cial and strategic importance by its ad vocates, and being looked upon by its op ponents as Involving a radical departure from the long established policy of the country, and likely to-be followed by the inauguration of a pronounced policy of colonization, the abandonment of the Mon roe doctrine and participation in interna tional wrangles. More than half a hun dred members participated in the debate. From a party standpoint the result was awaited with keenest interest. The Re publicans presented practically a unan imous support to the resolution, but three Republican members voting in opposition. In the Democratic ranks the division up on the question was more marked, 18 Democratic members voting for annexa tion. The vote in support of the resolution was made up of 179 Republicans, 18 Dem ocrats, 8 Populists and 4 fusionists; the vote against" annexation comprised 77 Democrats, 3 Republicans, 7 Populists and 4 fusionists. The session began at 10 o'clock and de bate continued seven hours. Few mem bers were upon the floor until late in the afternoon, and the galleries had few oc cupants. As the hour for voting drew near, however, members began taking their places and there were few more than a score of absentees when the first roll call was taken. The announcement of the vote upon the passage of the resolutions was cheered up on the floor and applauded by the specta tors. The resolutions adopted, in a pre amble, relate the offer of the Hawaiian re public to cede all of its sovereignty and absolute title to the government and crown lands, and then by resolution ac cept the cession and declare the islands annexed. The resolutions provide for a commission of five, at least two of whom shall be resident Hawaiians. to recom mend to congress such legislation as they may deem advisable. The public debt of Hawaii not to exceed J4.0o0.000 is as sumed. Chinese immigration is prohibit ed, all treaties with other powers are de clared null, and it is provided that, until congress shall provide for the government of the islands, all civil, judicial and mili tary powers now exercised by the officers of the existing government shall be exer cised in such manner as the president shall direct, and he is given power to ap point persons to put into effect provisional government for the islands. Prior to the announcement of the vote Mr. Dalzell. who, in the absence of Mr. Reed, was presiding, said: "The speaker of the house is absent on account of ill ness and I am requested by him to say that, were he present, on this proposition he would vote no." The announcement was applauded by the opposition to an nexation. BORROW E'S BOLD TASK. Gotham Butterfly Now Cares For a Gelatine Gun. New York, Juno 16. Among the Roosevelt rough riders on their way to invade Cuba is Hallett Alsop- Borrowe, who has care of the gelatine gun. The bursting charge for its shells is gela tine. Its power is greater than that of guns charged with any other explo sive. To take care of the gelatine gun' is to be smoking a pipe near a barrel of gunpowder. That is what Hallett Alsop Borrowe does.Nobody else would assume the dangerous duty. Borrowe formerly lived in London or in Paris, doing nothing. He was well dressed, frivolous, inactive. He was impersonally elegant, nothing more. When his name that his father, Samuel Borrowe, had made estimable, appear ed in print it was attached to a scan dal. Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton, who was John Jacob Astor's sister, was left in London by her husband four years ago and sued for divorce. In connection Borrowe was challenged to fight a duel. He declined to accept. He went to Bernardsville, N.. J., where, in order to become acquainted with the business of the Consolidated Traction company, he worked in every department of it, to the extreme of driving a street car. He became an es teemed man of business. Austin Cor bin's daughter became his wife. She was in the hotel at Tampa while the rough riders were there, receiving from him every attention that his military service did not claim. Mrs. Borrowe's admiration for her husband is absolute. PRESERVED IN MARBLE. Bust of Kiss Willard Unveiled at Northwestern University. Chicago, June 16. A marble bust'of Frances E. Willard now adorns a gran ite pedestal In Orrington Lunt library of the Northwestern university. The likeness stands in the west end of the library hall beneath' the painting of Orrington Lunt, and the two names will be linked by future generation of students as the chief factors in the foundation of the university. Orring ton Lunt made it possible for the uni versity to come into existence, but it was only through the diligent efforts of Miss Willard that the institution be came co-educational. That the bust is in existence is due to the efforts of John C. Shaffer of Evanston. After much pleading on the part of Mr. Shaffer, Miss Willard con sented to sit to a sculptor for the bust.

This movement on the part of the railroad companies of the territory deserves much credit, but aside from this our interests are identical and the people of Oklahoma and the companies operating lines in the territory are alike desirous that Oklahoma's display at Omaho shall be commensurate with the national reputation of the territory for illimitable resources and marvelous pro ductions. Governor Barnes will ask each of the counties to contribute to the fund for this purpose, which the legislature may make some provision for refunding to them. But by whatever means the de sired end is to be reached this will be Oklahoma's greatest opportunity to reach a high station In the eyes of the world: an opportunity to place this young commonwealth in line with many Of the states in resources and progress. 7,00O MILES OF FLAGS. Northwestern Railway Officials Dis play Their Patriotism. Chicago, June 16. The officials of the Northwestern railway have decided to show their patriotism, and to inspire their passengers by decorating the com pany buildings everywhere along the three divisions of the road. The first flags were raised on the Milwaukee di vision. Sixteen beautiful national em blems are in place between Chicago and Milwaukee and the breeze is unfurling Old Glory and making the stations with their towers appear more like small fortresses than peaceful railway de pots. It was stated that forty of the principal places in Illinois had been supplied so far and that as fast as pos sible the railway officials would try to show their patriotic sentiment to the smaller communities. In every village or town having 500 or more inhabitants, there will be a "flag station." There are about 100 such stations on the Mil waukee, Galena Wisconsin division. On lines in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minne sota the stars and stripes will be placed as well and this will necessitate the purchase of flags for the 7,000 miles of road. LOST TWO FINGERS. Brakeman Harry Leap Caught by Deadwood at Newton. Brakeman Harry Leap of Argentine is in the Santa Fe hospital, having been brought from Newton where he lost two Angers while making a coupling. His crew was going out on train No. 30, and Leap undertook to make a coup ling between two cars, when the draw bar on one of them slipped under the car, catching his hand between the coupling pin and the deadwood of the car with the above result.

A special from Key West' says: Junta advices from the headquarters of the Cuban civil government at La Guanaja, report that more than 5,000 Spanish volunteers and many regulars from Puerto Principe and Nuevitas garrisons, have deserted to the patriot army. The immediate cause of desertion was the fear of the American fleet. Blanco's general. Castillanos, has re moved most of his artillery inland to Puerto Principe. Santa Cruz del Sur has been invested by the Cubans and communication by sail boat has been established with Ja maica. NO HOPE FOR PEACE. Foreign Diplomats Think the War Has Just Begun. Washington.June 16. A leading mem ber of the diplomatic corps said today that the departure of Shatter's army of invasion to Cuba put an end to all prospects of peace. While none of the foreign representatives here has ever made peace overtures to the United States government yet a peaceful solu tion has always seemed to members of the diplomatic fraternity as within the bounds of possibility even prob ability, so long as the United States troops remained at Tampa and Key West. Now, however, with 15,000 Amer ican soldiers about to take a position on Spanish soil it is said the conditions opportune for peace have undergone a material change, .as it commits the United States to an aggressive land campaign and also makes it impossible for Spain to adopt any other course than that of defending her soil against invasion. The presence of our ships at Manila, Havana and Santiago have not, this diplomatic official stated.consiituted an actual invasion, although the ships had wrought much damage. The ships could have been withdrawn at any time. But with 13.000 troops landed on Cuban soil a new and more serious phase of the conflict was presented. Instead of blockading and beleagureing a few Spanish cities, the American army now entered Spanish territory and that advanced the campaign from a passive to an active and offensive condition. The ships had simply sur rounded Spanish territory, but the troops would cross the line and enter Spanish territory. For this reason, he said .the hopes of a peaceful solution of the conflict had passed away and he believed they could not be revived until the effect of this first Cuban in vasion was determined. This would take some months, probably all sum mer.for this aggressive land movement would be followed by others, each one making the prospect of peace more re mote. If a peace proposition had come be fore General Shatter sailed, diplomatic officials are inclined to believe it would have been eagerly accepted by Spain and would have stood some chance of consideration by the United States. While it is not doubted that this coun try intends to push the war to a finish yet the belief is entertained in diplo matic quarters that the authorities here were loth to send a large invad ing army into Cuba during the rainy season when yellow fever, heat and pestilence combined to make such a movement exceedingly hazardous, even if no enemy were on hand capable of an effective defense. The cabinet crisis in France may exert other indirect influences on the present -war. M. Hanotaux, minister of foreign affairs In the present it renin cabinet has been foremost in overcom ing the anti-American spirit shown by part of the" French people and the French press. He has moreover, exer cised a strong repressive influence on Spain. He was able to do this through his peculiarly close and personal in timacy with the Spanish ambassador at Paris. Senor Castillo, and through him to have a considerable part in shaping the policy of the Spanish gov ernment. It was through Castillo that Spain hoped to induce France to come to the rescue, but Hanotaux would not entertain the proposition and on the contrary urged that Spain must make the concessions necessary to secure peace. It was this attitude of France, shaped by Hanotaux that caused such deep depression in Spain a few weeks ago. as it brought to the Spanish gov ernment and people the first real in formation that they were without an allv or friend in Europe. The course of Hanotaux has been highly gratifying to the authorities here and they would be glad to see him retain the control of foreign affairs in France Besides being most friendly to the United States, he is an eminently fair and conservative man. W hat Is feared particularly in diplomatic cir cles is that Hanotaux's withdrawal along with the Meline cabinet, will bring some fiery deputy to the head of the foreign office, thus giving free rein to some of the popular ill feelings in France against the United States. Hanotaux has been strong to resist this but a foreign minister drafted from the chamber of deputies might prefer to share the popular feeling, rather than resist it. FUNSTON MAY GO. The 20th Kansas is Now Slated for the Next Manila Expedition. San Francisco, June 16. No definite date can be named at present for the sailing of the third expedition to the Philippines. Preparations will be pushed forward rapidly. Thus far the steamers chartered for the expedition are the Indiana, Ohio, Morgan City, City of Para and three Northern Pacific steamers now at Seattle or enroute hither from Puget Sound. There Is talk of securing the San Bias. The Indiana is now being outfitted and the Morgan City Is ready to re ceive troops. The Ohio is not yet docked and the Puebla is on her way to this port from Puget Sound. June 25 has been mentioned provision ally as the date of sailing. It required twenty-two days to prepare for sailing the four vessels which went out last but the long delay was caused by the non-arrival of supplies. There are hundreds bf car loads of supplies here now and so it will hardly take so great a length of time to prepare the third fleet for service. Much Interest Is 'manifested by the troops stationed at Camp Merritt re garding what organizations are to form the third expedition. It is the general understanding that the expedition will be in command of Brigadier General King, but just what troops will be assigned to him are not yet been announced. The opinion of the officers in camp Is that the expedition will be composed of the Idaho battal ions, the One Hundred and Thirtieth Minnesota, the Twentieth Kansas, the First Montana and the Seventh Cali fornia regiments. The troops are now equipped and could leave in a short time.. ON DOMPS TOP. Frank Clarkson, a Tonng Man Aged Sixteen, Goes Violently Insane and Climbs to Top of Dome. HIS SHRILL SCREAMS Attract Attention and Police Seize Him And Bring Him Down Is Now in Jail. Frank Clarkson.of 612 Jackson street, and son of Rev. and Mrs. J. P. Clark son, went violently insane last evening about 7 o'clock. He climbed to the top of the state house dome, went out on the balcony of the "lantern" and lean ing over the edge, gesticulated wildly in a vain effort to ward off imaginary Spaniards. He is 16 years of age. He was noticed as he ascended the dome about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. When the doors were' locked by the watchman, Clark son was hidden away in the "lantern" which surmounts the dome. The watch man supposed that everyone had left the place. It was at 7:30 o'clock that a man was seen leaning over the railing of the balcony flourishing his arms wildly and giving vent to yells and screams. Peo ple going to meetings in the state house last evening were attracted by the strange sight. It looked as if the young man was trying to jump off the bal cony. From the top of the dome could be heard in faint tones, although they were yelled with force, the cries: "I'll get the Spaniards. You old Spanish spies. You have arrested John Collins. That is a Spanish trick. I know Gov ernor Leedy h id John Collins arrested. Old man Collins was killed by Spanish spies." The police department was notified. Detective Capron and Sergeant Owen were sent to capture the maniac. As they approached the state house they could see Clarkson pitching about on the balcony and they expected him to plunge headforemost at any moment. The officers hurriedly climbed the long flights of stairs leading to the dome. It was an arduous task for such a hurried trip as was necessary, and the officers were out of breath wnen they reached the spiral stairway lead ing to the "lantern." They paused a moment, and they could hear the young man in his de lirious cries. "I'll go ahead," said Capron to Owen, "and gra.b him and throw him back into the dcor and then you grab him." The two offcers crept cautiously up the stairs. They did not know who it was making the noise, nor could they judge his size and strength. Capron stepped into the "lantern," stepped out of the door, and made a dash to the north on the balcony. Before Frank Clarkson could realize what had hap pened to him, Capron had thrown his powerful arms about his shoulders and swung him quickly around to the door, where Sergeant Owen pinoned his arm. "You're Spaniards," yelled Clarkson, struggling violently, "let me go, I'll kill everyone of you. I'll run a sword through you. Let me go, you Spanish spies." He was held firmly by the officers, and when he found that he could not break away he turned about and said: "O, I thought vou were Spaniards and Catho lics I just threw a Spaniard downstairs a minute ago. They have been corning up here after me. But I 11 kill them. There was a mob of Spaniards down, there, but I made a noise and kept them Clarkson was taken to police station, where he was locked in jail. He became more violent, and late in the evening he was taken downstairs into the steel cage in the basement. He threatened every one he saw with death and raved about the Spaniards pursuing him. He kept up this noise in his delirious way all night nnd this morning he showed signs of fa tigue. Chief Steele. Police Judge Atchison. De tective Capron and Probate. Judge Dolman stood in front of his steel cage today and questioned him. He became wild and said: "I'll kill evervone I see if you'll just let me out. I'll run a sword through you (looking at Chief Steele). I have seen several Spaniards down here. There is one!" Clarkson pointed to a reporter who stood with the others. "You are a Span ish spy. and I know it. You know some thing about the Collins murder. I'll tell vou. old man Collins was murdered by Spaniards, and Governor Leedy got them to do it. He had John Collins arrested. But John will come out of it. and I will kill evervone who says anything against John Collins. O. let me out of here. The Spanish are after me. I can settle them with mv fists." Todav the young man's mother went be fore Probate Judge L. S. Dolman and swore to an insanity complaint, charging her son with being insane. Her name is Annie P. Clarkson. Rev. and Mrs. J. P. Clarkson have lived in Topeka about three years. They are respected people and this sudden affliction is very trying to them. Rev. Mr. Clarkson said of his son: "He has been bright in school, but I think his mind has been deranged by reading war stories. Last Sunday he was out in the woods and some boys took after him and scared him badly. Since then he has been acting queer, but I did not think he would lose his mind. He is 16 years old." CRAZY COLORED MAN. John Wesley Committed to Jail as Unsafe. John Wesley, a colored man who for several years was a janitor in the Santa Fe office building, is now in the county jail with the charge against him of in sanity. His wife, who is white in color, today swore to a complaint charging her husband of being of unsound mind. Wesley is 45 years of age. Yesterday the police were called upon to arrest Wesley. His wife claimed that he was acting queerly and that she was afraid he would kill her. Wesley's mind seems to be confused. Many have noticed thai he has acted queerly for several weeks. Police Judge Atchison said of him to day: "He once came to my house to see me and he sat there for 15 minutes before he said anything. He sat by my table and rubbed his hand over a loaf of bread like a person stroking a cat's back. He acted as if bewildered." Within the past few days Wesley is said to have passed several worthless checks which were so poorly drawn that it was no trouble to discover them. MRS. WINANT GOES INSANE. She Attempts to Commit Suicide in Several Ways. Mrs. Annie M. Winant, wife of a well known farmer living a few miles west of the city, was yesterday adjudged insane in Probate Judge Dolman's court. Tues day night at her home Mrs. Winant at tempted suicide by thrusting a dull case knife into her neck, puncturing the wind pipe and missing the jugular vein by but a short distance. The wound is a1- inchea long. On a previous occasion she had procured poison and taken it, but prompt measures were taken and the poison was removed from her stomach before it had taken effect. Mrs. Winant was taken yesterday to Eedwell's asylum, where -she is now re ceiving treatment. She was unable to be taken before the probate court yesterday, so the trial was held yesterday and the verdict returned. Mrs. Winant is 24 years of age and her insanity is said to have fol lowed close after the birth of her second child. GOOD FIGHTERS. Cuban Insurgents are Valuable Allies to the Marines. United States Camp Guantanamo Bay, June 14. By the Associated Press Dispatch Boat Wanda, via Kingston, June 16. The events of the last twenty-four hours have raised the Cuban in surgent soldiers several notches in the estimation of the Americans. The in surgents now with the marines number only 80, but they show splen did bearing, are clever scouts and in valuable skirmish workers and seem to have an utter contempt for Spanish marksmanship. The little black men, when ordered forward into the struggle, go uncon cernedly toward the Spanish lines, ab solutely without fear of the foe. In fact, the Cubans have joined the marines in scouting for a mile all around the American camp and it is believed that their co-operation accounts for the fail ure of the enemy to make an attack last night. The insurgents know the ground so well that it is impossible for the Spanish bushwhackers to get close enough to do any damage. A small skirmish took place just after dawn. The American scouting parties had come to camp for breakfast and one field piece in the trenches was fired to clean it. The report was followed by a volley from the bushes 300 yards away. The machine guns, field pieces and riflemen opened on the spot whence the firing came and the fusillade lasted about 15 minutes. The Americans suf fered no damage and apparently no one was hurt on the other side. About noon a Spanish gunboat steamed down the Inner Guantanamo harbor aa if to give battle, but soon re tired.

Meline, assistant United States treasurer, has re ceived through Speaker Reed a letter from W. Hume Elliott of Manchester. PJngland, inclosing a postal money order for 10 shillings 6 pence. In the course of his letter Mr. Elliott says: "Will you kindly accept of half a guinea as a very small token of great regard for the United States in its pres ent high and righteous enterprise? It may furnish a cup of cold water to some mem ber of your army or navy bravely con tending in the interests of humanity and justice. "May I venture to add that this simple offering does nrft spring altogether from a new born sentiment? When last year we celebrated the diamond "jubilee of our beloved queen, behind mv pulpit platform were grouped three flags the roval Brit ish standard In the center, while on the one side hung the Union flag and on the other the stars and stripes. The ex planation is simple. We felt that in the United States, whither so many loved ones had gone, countless hearts of kith and kin were beating in sympathy with our own. Moreover, it seems almost im possible for us to regard the stars and stripes like the emblem of anv other na tion, as an out-and-out foreign flag. Had it been so regarded by us it never could have occupied the position it did on the august and memorable occasion I have reference to. May God bless, protect and prosper the United States." DEATH IN A FLOOD, Several People Drowned at Kansas City Last Night. Kansas City, June 16. Several peo ple were drowned and a number of houses were swept away as the result of a cloudburst in Kansas City, Kan., at 10:30 o'clock last night. It is believ ed that the loss of life will reach fully twelve. During the heavy rain last night a cloudburst occurred in the vicinity of Chelsea park, west of the city. The rain fell in torrents, and volumes of water poured from every directionjto the lake at Chelsea park, whieflTwas formed by building a damtfross Jer3 sey creek. The water roe rapidly and was soon overflowing the dam. Thq pressure of the Mood became too great and the dam gave way with a crash, 1 allowing the water to escape. With a terrific roar the flood rushed down Jersey creek, leaving death and desolation in its wake. Houses were swept from their foundations and whirled down the valley by the angry water. Their sleeping inmates were plunged into the flood, and washed into insensibility against the floating tim bers.or drowned before they could reach the margin of the torrent. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Greenlee at Thirteenth and L road was borne away by the water, and Mrs. Greenlee was drowned. Her husband was res cued by Dr. Todd, a neighbor. The building at Sixth and New Jersey, oc cupied by Robert Kokenate.was wreck ed, and Kokenate, his wife and two children, Wiliie, 7 years old, and Mol lie, 4 years old, are missing. They are believed to have been drowned. Rescuing parties were quickly form ed, and the work of saving those who had found temporary refuge from the torrent was begun. The scene was one which beggard description. A score of homeless men, women and children ran frantically alone teh edge of the flood in seach of missing relatives. The rain poured down, and the rescuers were drenched to the skin. The darkness made the work of saving the survivors most difficult. Omaha Exposition.

The Japanese minister, clearly, is one of those who believe that the foreigner pays the tariff tax, or he would not make so much fuss about the duty on tea.

Spaniards Fled, Leaving Forty Dead on the Field. CUBANS CO-OPERATE And Lose Two Killed and Four Are Wounded. One American Marine is Slight ly Wounded. (Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press.) United States Camp, Guantanamo Bay, June 14. By Associated Press Dispatch Boat Wanda, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 16. The United States marines under Lieutenant Colonel Robert W. Huntington, made their first aggressive movement against the Span ish guerrillas today and completely routed the enemy. The force of marines was under Cap tain Elliott and the co-operating Cu bans were under Colonel Laborda. The combined forces rased a Spanish camp about five miles from the American po sition, destroying the only well in the vicinity, and killing about 40 Spaniards. One American marine was slightly wounded. Two Cubans were killed and four wounded. It is impossible to estimate the num ber of Spaniards engaged, owing to their guerrilla methods of fighting but it is believed there were at least 400. The marines behaved splendidly, their marksmanship being excellent, even under the severe fire of the enemy. The captured camp lies about five miles southeast of the rifle pits of the marines, and was an important base for the enemy, as it contained the only well within six or seven miles. Lieutenant Colonel Huntington decided on the at tack early in the day, and at about 8 oclock the force started across the mountain. The march up and down the steep hillsides under the glaring tropical sua was a severe test of endurance for the marines, and before the battle ground was reached 22 men had re ceived medical attention. All were able, however, to reach the position before the fighting ceased. The marines were compelled to march in single file, following the mountain trail. Meanwhile the Cubans darted backward and forward, to right and left on the scout. It was noon when from a hilltop the Americans caught sight of the Spanish camp on a ridge below them. It con sisted of one large house, the officers' Quarters. surrounded by numerous "shacks." and houses, all clustering about the precious well. The Americans began a cautious ad vance and were within 2U0 yards of the enemy before the crack of a rille from the Spanish lines announced that the Spaniards had discovered them. The troops quickly moved into line of battle, with the Cubans on the left flank. The enemy's bullets were whirling viciously over the Americans, but the marines settled down to their work as uncon cernedly as though at target practice. Very few Spaniards were in sight. They were lying behind the huts and brush, but the puffs of smoke revealed their positions and enabled the Ameri cans to do effective work. For 20 min utes both sides maintained a terrific fire. The Spanish shots were generally wild and spasmodic, while the Ameri cans fired away, aiming carefully and shooting to kill. For the most part the Americans' firing was done individual ly, but at times the officers would di rect firing by squads always with tel ling effect. It was beginning to look as though a bayonet charge down the slope would be necessary to dislodge the en emy, when suddenly the latter began to break for a thicket a hundred yards further on. Little groups could be seen fleeing from the camp, separating.dart ing through the brush and zigzaging to escape the bullets. It was then the American fire became most deadly. Man after man could be seen to fall in it vain rush for shelter, and the fire f.-om the Spanish became scattered and almost ceased. Two Cubans lay dead and four wounded, and private Walker, of com pany D, had to limp to the rear with a slight wound in his ankle. The easy victory put the command in high spirits. The little black Cuban warriors waved their machetes and hurled curses at the Spanish in savage fashion. Their firing had been wild throughout but they all displayed the utmost contempt for the Spanish bul lets, apparently being absolutely with out fear. As the enemy began breaking camp, the Dolphin, which lay out at sea, was signalled and began pitching shells toward the thicket for which the Span iards were making. Meanwhile Lieut. McGIll was seen coming with 40 men as reinforcements, and Capt. Mahoney was on the way with a hundred more, but before either could reach the scene the trouble was over. As the Spanish retreated the Ameri cans moved slowly forward, firing as they went, and by the time the camp was reached the enemy had all got away, taking their wounded and prob ably many of their dead. Fifteen bod ies were found scattered through the brush but the Americans were unable to examine the spot where their firing had been most deadly. No time was lost in burning the buildings and fill ing the well with earth and stones. The Dolphin landed water and am munition, as an attack was expected on the return march, but none was made. Evidently the Spaniards were too thor oughly beaten to attempt further fight ing. The marines did not reach the American camp until after nightfall, and as they had been without food since the early morning, they were thoroughly exhausted. Col. Huntington believes the destruc tion of the camp and well will seriously cripple the bushwhacking operations of the enemy. THE VESUVIUS WELL NAMED. When in Eruption She Proves to Be Terrible. (Copyright, 1S9S. by Associated Press.) Off Santiago de Cuba. June 14, by the Associated Press Dispatch Boat Dandy, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 16. The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius Joined the fleet yesterday, and was put to work immediately. Ensign Palmer of the New York, went on board the Vesuvius with Lieutenant Commander Pillsbury, to explain the location of the batteries. A few minutes from midnight the Vesu vius was about half a mile from the beach west of El Morro. The Oreg.-n's searchlight played on the battery while the black nose of the cruiser pointed at the westward batteries. Lieutenant Commander Pillsbury gave the word to fire, and Lieut. Quimby opened the oir vent. There was a slight hissing.a sort of coughing noise, but no flame, no re port, no warning to the Spaniards who were hiding in the darkness. Tliirty second later a dull roar broke the si lence of the tropical night. Two hun dred pounds of gun cotton had exploded on the hillside below the battery. The ships on the blockade lines two miles away shook with the explosion. The firing of a 13 inch, shell is a mere rifle crack compared to" the deep and mighty roar. Clouds of earth thrown up from the hills seemed to stand out against the black sky. Another package of gun cotton was dropped in on the other side and may possibly have struck 'the torpedo boat? anchored below. Before the echoes of the second died away the Vesuvius sent a third charge hissing out. It fell right on the brow of the hill where the bat tery seemed to lie. Into the air flew tons of earth, and the smoke covered the land for half a mile. The Vesuvius retired at a IS knot rate. Two flashes from the hill and two Spanish shells flew beyond the cruiser. The test was regarded as highly sat isfactory, and there is intense interest in the fleet over this first test in war of a dynamite cruiser. PLANS FOB RECRUITING. No New Organizations Will Be Auth orized Until Those Existing are Filled. Washington, June 16. Reports received at the adjutant general's office show that practically all the regiments now in the field and which are to be filled to their maximum strength under the president's second call for 75,000 men have sent re cruiting parties to the states from which the organizations came to obtain the nec essary men for this purpose. It will rfc ouire between 40 and 50 thousand men to fill the existing organizations to their maximum strength. Meanwhile the war department is not making public the ap portionment to the states under the sec ond call. After the regimental recruiting is well under way, then the department will in dicate to the states such new organiza tions us may he desired. It is preferred that as far as practicable the men re cruited under the second call first shall fill tiie existing regiments and not be given the option of choosing between them and any new organizations. There are a number of states and territories which will not be permitted to furnish troops under the second call, as their quota is al ready filled. GERRY WINS FAVOR. Now York Yachtsman Honors the Crown Prince of Belgium. Newport, R. I., June 16. Ex -Commodore Gerry of the New York Yacht club is the only American whom Prince Albert, the crown prince of Relium, has acknowl edged from a social point of view outside of his host and hostess. Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer, as far as invitations to so cial functions are concerned. Today the crown prince and his suite accepted the invitation of the former pop ular commodore of the New York Yacht club for a sail and luncheon on board the steam yacht Electra. Eighteen guests, all men. were invited to meet the prince on board of his palatial steam yacht. As the prince and his party boarded the yacht a salute of one gun was tired and the Belgian flag, by the order of Commo dore Oerry, was broken out at the fore mast head. After a delightful sail the party return ed in season to be the guests of Mr. and IVlrs. Palmer at the Oolf club. The prince plays golf and understands the game to the queen's taste. He took a drive over the links, which he claimed were the best he had ever seen. SEEK YUKON CHANNEL. Government Seeks Better Entrance to Gold Country. Tacoma, Wash., June 13. The United States gunboat Wheeling sailed from the Sound for St. Michael, carrying a geological party of thirty-two, com posed of seven surveyors and twenty five men, who will, under the direction of Captain Pratt, seek to find a suitable course for a channel extending through the bar across the mouth of the Yukon, which will enable ocean vessels to en ter the golden river. In a few days O. R. Putnam, Captain Pratt's assistant, will follow on the Charles Nelson with three launches, in which the survey work will be prose cuted. The dredging of such a channel through the great bar which has for decades been banking up as a barrier to deep draught water craft Captain Pratt thinks will afford an easier out let for the ice and the consequent open ing of the river for navigation a month earlier than usual. ARMOUR LIFTS THE LOAD. He Saves $2,000,000 for Joe Leiter. Chicago, June IS. Arrangements for the closing of the Leiter deal have been com pleted. Final papers were placed before Joseph Leiter today and 7.000.000 bushels of choice cash wheat were consigned to P. D. Armour, who will henceforth con trol all the Leiter holdings. Armour has alreadv begun to dispose of his holdings, and unless the coming crop is harvested sooner than anticipated, it seems likely that the immense line of wheat in the northwest will be consumed there. It is stated that Leiter will not lose as much as was generally believed. Ar mour's assumption of the burden is said to have meant at least $2,000,000 for Leiter. That much loss woold have occurred if the immense line of wheat had to be mer chandised by trustees, with the probabil ity of a declining market. The loans made to Leiter by the local banks aggregate nearly $7,000,000. Each bank was careful to protect itself with wide margins that would insure against loss. Interviews with a number of the bankers interested show that they are all satisfied with the transfer of the deal to Armour. 2,300 HEAR BRYAN. Silver Champion Will Join His Regi ment Monday.

Wesley Gaines of Wilson County Instantly Killed By a Fist Blow Inflicted by Jake Eby. BOYS WERE FIGHTING Brown County Farmer Uses a Telephone. Mysterious Death of an Old Man at Garnett. Fredonia, June 16. Wesley Gaines, was killed, during a fight, last Sunday, by a fist blow inflicted by Jake Eby, The fight took place near the New Al bany Baptist church and the details have been carefully suppressed. The boya were 17 and 19 years old re spectively. The young men had had some previ ous trouble and upon meeting Eby wanted Gaines to take back something he had said. Gaines refused, whereup on a fight ensued. Gaines knocked Eby down and later Eby struck Gaines on the neck, or on the face, and he fell and died in a few moments. It was a fist blow and the result seems strange especially in view of the fact that the examining physicians, Doctors Flack and Cormaek of Fredo nia could find no "visible cause of death" after making a post mortem ex amination. Eby and his friend George Richards at once skipped out but re turned Monday evening. Eby was ar rested but released on $300 bail. BUZZARDS FOUND BODY. Mysterious Death of an Aged Colored Man at Garnett. Garnett, June 16. A week ago last Saturday, Jacob Lonian, an aged color ed man, who lived with his son, Jeff Lonian, got into a quarrel with two of his grand-children, and cut them slight ly with a pocket knife. After cutting the girls, he ran away, and for several days his whereabouts was unknown. Tuesday morning, however, Chas. Bruns found his lifeless body in his wheat field, southeast of town. Charley saw buzzards flying about, and think ing some of his stock might have been killed ,went to examine, with the result as stated. He went to a neighbor, and the two went back and looked at the body. They brought the news to town, and an investigation followed. It was found that the skull had been fractured and the throat cut. It is claimed that in the altercation between the old man and one of -the girls ,the latter struck him on the head with a brick, and that afterward, Jeff struck him three times, knocking him down. The old man then got up and went away. He claimed to be HQ years old, and of course could not have been very dangerous, as any younger person could have kept out of his way. AFTER FORTY YEARS An Accident Reunitea a Leavenworth. Family. Leavenworth, June 16. The Arlaud brothers were surprised by the arrival of two uncles from St. Louis who had resided there for forty years and did not know of the existence of their nephews at Leavenworth. A young woman of Leavenworth was married some time ago to a St. Louis man and happened recently to meet one of the Arlauds at a party and told them of the Arlauds of Leavenworth, which set them to making inquiries. There were three brothers .two of whom went to St. Louis and the other came to Leav enworth, but the latter did not know where the others stopped and they knew nothing of his intentions, hence there was no correspondence. So after forty years the homes of each were discovered by the merest accident and the rest followed. BOYS VS. HORSES. Unique Race at Newton's Fourth, of July Celebration. Newton, June 16.

PAPER FROM CORNSTALKS. Ever Busy Salina Men Have a New Scheme. Salina, June 16. J. F. Merrill has had considerable correspondence with W. W. Gibbs, president of the Marsden company, Philadelphia, with reference to establishing a plant here for .the manufacture of paper from the corn stalk. Mr. Gibbs. through statistc3 and other valuable data, is quite im pressed with Salina's location with reference to availability for such a manufactory. He has sent six different samples of the paper thus manufac tured, and they make a very substan tial showing. He also expressed a de sire to keep in touch with Mr. Merrill and other representative business men of Salina, that he might be in a position this fall to make a proposition which would be reasonable and at the same time valuable for Salina. Mr. Merrill will not allow Mr. Gibbs to be forgetful of his promise, and will keep the proposition warm. CAUGHT IN THE WHEELS. Oswego Implement Dealer Sustains Severe Injuries. Oswego, June 16. While unloading a binder from a car at the 'Frisco depot, Monday morning, A. T. Shrout, the well known implement dealer, came near receiving fatal injuries. The wagon was backed up to the car door and Mr. Shrout was standing upon a rear wheel and assisting Mr. Page to handle the machine. Suddenly the team became frightened and started to run, throw ing Mr. Shrout between the wheel and V wagon box, bruising his right arm and side severely and breaking loose four ribs from his backbone on his left side. He was taken to his home, and now is In a fair way to recover. It will probably be a month before he will be able to attend to business. SINGERS AGGRIEVED Mcpherson Chorus Insists on Retain ing Honors Fairly Won. McPherson, June 16. The McPherson chorus that was awarded the first prize at the Hutchinson musical jubilee, received the following complimentary statement from Prof. Root, one of the judges: "In the chorus contest, Class A, the McPherson chorus, under Mr. Kranta. led off brilliantly. They sang with fine spirit, making an effective climax, and steering their course among chromatic tones and difficult modulations with an accuracy of intonation that is very rare among choruses. This latter point was especially noticeable in the third selection, where, despite many diffi culties, they came to the final cadence without the slightest flatting from the pitch. Another rare thing to hear among choruses Is judicious accent. In this respect, too, the McPherson per formers excelled, although they in com mon with all thj choruses made the mistake of giving too much accent to unaccented syllables.a fault which gen erally arises from the effort to make the music rhythmical. The third num ber sung by the chorus received a rat ing of M, but taking all three pieces into consideration, the marking is 90." The only competitors the McPherson chorus had were from Wichita and Lyons, each scoring 85, tieing for the second prize. The McPherson chorus feels some what aggrieved, after having won the first prize, and receiving the above favorable criticism from so able a judge as Prof. Root, that other choruses should deliberately advertise them selves and claim the honor of being successful in the contest.

Boise, Idaho, June 16. A distin guished party, composed of Gov. Tan ner of Illinois, members of his staff and Tingley S. Wood, a wealthy Colorado mining man, has been touring Idaho principally for the purpose of buying mines. At Warren's one mining prop erty was bonded and negotiations have been begun which will undoubtedly lead to the purchase of the Old Kaintuck mine near Horse-Shoe Bend. While on the trip to Warren's which took the party through a wildly desolate region, Gov. Tanner came near losing his life. They attempted to ford Payette river, a swift, and, at this time of year, very dangerous stream. When about in the middle of the river, the guide's horse went off the ford, and, after a, brief struggle, went under with the guide. This threw the entire party in to confusion. Gov. Tanner also went off the ford, and, after a desperate struggle, managed to reach shore more dead than alive. The governor's horsa became unmanageable in the water, and in order to save his life he was forced to leave the animal and swim When about half way to shore he besa.i to give out. He felt himself sinking, and thought it was all over, but, sum moning all his strength, he made a su preme effort, and' succeeded in a couple of strokes in gaining a position where the current was not so swift. The oth er members of the party were not in so great danger. The guide's body has not been recovered. Gov. Tanner and his party have left on their return to Chicago. YICTIM OF A FIEND.

Chairman Dinglfy of the ways and means committee has in troduced a bill supplemental to the acts relating to the internal revenue law. It directs every person or concern liable to anv internal revenue tax or having: arti- cles taxable but unpaid and every execu tor or other fiduciary to file with the col- lector of the district such Inventories or returns. The commissioner of internal revenue may also require statements un- idr oath where exemption is claimed on ground of any limitation. It amends tne war revenue act so a3 to exempt from taxation all casualty, fidelity and guarantee insurance com panies carrying on such business solely for their own protettion and not for profit, and having no capital stock. All internal revenue taxes imposed by the war revenue act when not paid by stamp or as legally required shall be assessed and collected as other internal revenue taxfs. and ail existing provisions of law relating to as sessment and collection of internal reve nue taxes, including assessable penalties for failure to make returns, are extended to taxes under the war measure. It provides a maximum fine of $50 or maximum imprisonment of six months, or totn. tor neglect to atnx or tor tne re u'sing of stamps to denote payment where there is no specified penalty. The gross annual receipts taxable under any internal revenue law are held to be for each spe cial tax year, beginning July 1 and ending June 3u. The tajt on original domestic I'nited States money orders is to be pay able by stamp. Men's Shop Caps 5 Cents. We have five dozen, we will sell at 5 cents each as long as they last. S.

AN ARMY OF 32,000 MEN Is Now Available for the Expedition to Porto Rico. Xew York, June 16. According to es timates made by Adjutant General Cor bin, says the Washington correspondent of the Times, the total number of troops left at Tampa after the sailing of the Santiago expedition is In the neighbor hood of 23.000. This includes the portion of the Fourth corps remaining at Mo bile which is regarded as a sub sta tion of the Tampa camp. At Jackson ville it is estimated by the adjutant general that there are 9,000 men. This would make the entire strength of the forces most eligibly located for embar kation to Porto Rico 32,000 men. Little doubt exists that out of this it would be possible to organize by time the new preparations for the expedition are completed an army of 25,000 men thoroughly equipped. The latest of ficial returns to the war department show the following as the composition of the Fourth army corps, commanded by Major General Coppinger, which is expected to take part in the movement on Porto Rico: At Mobile First division, command ed by Brigadier General Schwan, five regiments: The First and Second Tex as, First and Second Louisiana and First Alabama. At Tampa Second division, com manded by Brigadier General Snyder, nine regiments: The Eleventh and Eighteenth regular infantry, First Di3 trict of Columbia, Second New York, One Hundred and Fifty-seventh Indi ana, First Ohio and First Illinois. Also the Third division, commanded by Brig adier General Henry, six regiments and cavalry and artillery detachments: Fifth Ohio, First Florida, Thirty-secor d Michigan, Sixty-ninth Xew York, Third Ohio and Second Georgia, a pro visional cavalry brigade made up of the Fifth regiment cavalry, detach ments from the Second. Third and Sixth and Fourth troops of the First volun teer cavalry, six batteries of light ar tillery, C and F from the Third, B and F from the Fourth and D. and F from the Fifth, two batteries of heavy artil lery, M and K from the Fifth. At Lakeland Detachments of the First and Tenth regular cavalry. Only one division of the Seventh corps under General Lee at Jacksonville has been organized The Second, commanded by Brigadier General Arnold and made up as follows: First North Carolina, Sec ond Illinois, Second New Jersey, First Wisconsin. Fiftieth Iowa. Fourth Illin ois, Second and Fourth Virginia. The provisional division organized to accompany General Shatter and com manded by Brigadier General Snyder, was intended to be the First division of the Seventh, but has now been attached to the fourth corps under General Cop pinger. The Third division of General Lee's corps has not yet been formed, but the second Mississippi regiment has been ordered to Jacksonville and it will enter that division. The war department has begun an investigation into the state of prepar edness of the troops at Tampa. Mobile and Jacksonville, with a view of select ing the regiments for the Porto Rican force, but it is by no means certain that all the commands for that enterprise will be taken from these camps. In fact, it seems well assured that selec tions of especially equipped and trained regiments from the camps at Chicka mauga and Washington will be made in organizing the new expedition. There is some reasoa to suppose that a portion of the force left at Tampa may yet be sent on to Santiago as a sec ond division of General Shatter's army. Should the Spaniards prove more nu merous and formidable about Santiago than is expected, reinforcements will undoubtedly be hurried there. Several of the transports engaged for the San tiago movement were not used in the first expedition and these would be available for a second should it be found necessary.

TOPEKA STATE JOTTKNAJL, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE, 16, 1898. GLAD INJEAVES. Spanish Bushwhackers Dodge From Place to Place Frequently Eluding Detection by the American Marines. CUBANS ARE USEFUL. They are Familiar With All the Spanish Tricks. Some Defects Discovered in the Guns of the Nayy. (Copyright, 1S98, by Associated Press.) On Hoard the Associated Press Dis patch Boat Dauntless, Guantanamo Bay, Tuesday, June 14. Via Kingston, Jamaica, June 16. However unpleasant the experience, or unjustified by pre cedent the landing of a small detach ment of marines, mostly raw men in the enemy's country has taught some les sons to the officers and men here, and possibly also to authorities at Washing ton. It has shown the Spaniards to be dar ing bush fighters and it has proved that every American camp must be com pactly built and as well protected to re sist night attacks as though in the Apache country. It has developed sa'? eral small defects in the navy guns un der service conditions and it has shown that given a fre rein with repeating rifles 500 nervous troops can waste 10,000 rounds of ammunition killing shadows In a single night and not think even then that they done much shooting. Though the sixteen Spaniards found by Lieut. Nevelle's men wore regular uniforms, most of those seen in the daylight attacks wore scarcely anything except big plantain leaves bound around their foreheads in lieu of hats. This acted as an effective disguise in the bush. Others stripped to a pair of dirt colored trousers, tied branches around their waists reaching shoulders high and moving very cautiously, they would even cross open ground without being detected though some of them were caught at the game. Another trick was to make a moving screen of two or three palm leaves, al most impossible to detect where stunt ed palms everywhere rise out of the ohapparal. The Cuban auxiliaries were most useful in pointing out these tricks. There are sixty of these men now in camp, mostly negroes, with Cu ban officers. They are hawk-eyed woodsmen, breaking even with the Spaniards in every device of bushcraft. The American marines at first were In clined to discount this. But this morn ing they spoke enthusiastically of the auxiliaries for their daring. At night, in skirmish time, the marines say the Cuban auxiliaries go through the brush like rabbits. Their chief fault however Is their reckless handling of the new magazine rifles.

FREEDOM (Continued, from First Page.) gates to cut loose from the Populists and go it alone. His talk was full of sentiment and he seemed earnest in his convictions. When he had finished the convention immediately rejected his resolution and adopted the majority re port, thus carrying out the policy out lined by Chairman Overmyer. The convention adopted a platform last night pledging renewed allegiance to free silver, and W. J. Bryan; de nounced McKinley and the Dingley bill; demanded a vigorous-prosecution of the war; declare for resubmission; de nounce metropolitan police law; com mend United States Senator Harris and the state administration. The Leedy endorsement follows: "We heartily indorse the present state administration, elected by Demo cratic votes, in its successful efforts looking to substantial retrenchment and reform and in the many meritorious laws the last legislature passed, and which have been faithfully and consci entiously enforced by our state officials, the effect of which has been the saving of thousands of dollars to our citizens and tax payers. We would especially commend and endorse the stock yards legislation and its vigorous enforce ment, which effects a direct saving to the people of Kansas of $250,000 annual ly; also the school book law, which saves the people of the state not less than $.100,000 each year; also the fee and salary bill, which effects an annual sav ing to the people of not les than $350, 000; also the vigorous enforcement of our insurance laws, which has resulted in a large increase to our revenues, the weeding out of insolvent and wildcat insurance companies and the prompt adjustment and payment of honest and just claims. These are only a few of the many measures and acts of the present state administration that can be pointed to and approved. We especial ly congratulate the state administration upon the tacit indorsement it received from the Republican party in its state convention at Hutchinson on June S, 1S98, wherein it failed to see or find a single act of the administration to con demn or criticise." TAKE ANOTHER RECESS. Democrats at Atchison Waiting for Populists to Finish Up. Atchison, June 16. The Democratic state convention reconvened at 9 o'clock this morning. The conference commit tee appointed to meet a like committee from the Populist state convention in session at Topeka, and arrange a divis ion of the state ticket, not being ready to report, the convention at 10 o'clock, after electing a new state central com mittee, took a recess till 2 p. m. FREE SILVER REPUBLICANS Adopt a Platform and Elect a State Central Committee. The Kansas Free Silver Republicans numbering 97 delegates either present or represented by proxy after appoint ing a committee to confer with a like committee from the Populist convention and adopting resolutions, adjourned. The following is the platform of the Free Silver Republican party of Kan sas: We, the Free Silver Republicans of Kansas, declare: First That we believe the money of the nation should be issued by the gov ernment and that gold and silver should be given equal privileges at the mint and by the laws of this country at the present legal ratio, 1 to 16. That the coinage of the silver seigniorage, reluc tantly agreed to by a Republican house at the dictation of a silver senate, is a good step in the right direction; and, we, the Silver Republicans of the state of Kansas, still adhere to the declara tion of principles as enunciated by the Republican party of Kansas in its state convention held on the 4th day of Sep tember, which declaration is as follows: "The practical operation of the silver act now in force, recently passed by a Republican majority and opposed by a Democratic minority, in both houses of congress, is rapidly increasing the value of silver, is a good step in the right direction, but we, the Republicans of Kansas demand free coinage of silver, a measure strongly opposed and vig orously condemned by the late Demo cratic administration, led by ex-President Grover Cleveland." Second We believe this government is capable of attending to its own af fairs without the aid of any other na tion on earth. Third That we believe entangling al liances with foreign nations to be inim ical to the best interests of this nation and that the teachings of Washington, having proven so wise in the past, should be strictly observed in the fu ture, and for this reason we are opposed to the suggested Anglo-alliance. Fourth That the Republican party having obtained an unnecessary bond issue, in place of the bi-metalism it promises to secure, we demand that the administration now proceed to prose cute the present war. which it has too reluctantly undertaken. The pace set by Admiral Dewey suits us. Fifth We believe that manhood, not money, should be the controlling factor in the affairs of this nation and that all corporate interests should be under strict government control, and to this tend we extend our co-operation to any party that honestly and fearlessly at tempts to restore the affairs of govern ment to the people. Sixth "Thedebtthis nation can never pay. is to care for him who has borne the battle, and for his widow and or phans." Abraham Lincoln. We believe the foregoing sentiment Is as important and binding today as ever; and that it should equally apply to the soldiers called into the field by the present war. The Republican party having adopted Grover Cleveland's pension policy along with his financial policy and Cuban policy, we demand that laws intended to favor ex-TTnion soldiers be enforced in the spirit thereof, and that they be actually preferred for public employ ment. Seventh We are most heartily in sympathy witti organized labor to the end that it may be able to compete with organized capital. Kighth While we are not unmindful of the shortcomings of the present ad ministration, we recognize that it has done more to relieve the state from corporate control in the enactment, con struction and enforcement of laws than all previous administrations in the his tory of the state. We especially com mend the law passed for the control of the stocks'ards and the school book law as well as the active and able efforts put forth to enforce them.together with the laws effecting the rights and inter ests of the coal miners of the state. We also especially commend Webb Mc Nall's administration of the insurance department. Ninth We commend the system of state insurance as recommended by our superintendent of insurance. Tenth We appreciate the discretion, as well as the wisdom, of the late gold standard Republican convention at Hutchinson in limiting their endorse ment of their party to the past fifteen months, thereby attempting to avoid responsibility for the scandals attach ing to the last Republican state admin istration. On motion -of George H. Evans, the members of the existing state central committee were all re-elected with the exception of Evans of Valley Falls. Sam Parr of Shawnee county was elect ed in his stead. CONFERENCE COMMITTEES. The Men "Who Made the Arrange ments for Fusion. Following are the committees on con ference: To confer with the Democrats: S. J. MeNaughton of Leavenworth. M. Wells of Miami county. Charles Stevens of Cherokee county. Levi Dumbauld of Lyon county. N. M. Smith of Washington county. E. E. Brainard of Phillips county. R. A. Sankey of Wichita. To confer with the Silver Republi cans: J. S. Ensminger of Topeka. J. W. Turner of Linn county. Geo. W. Goss of Chautauqua county. W. F. Benson of Butler county. Geo. D. Bowling of Republic county. B. F. Milton of Osborn county. Frank Field of Reno county. COMMITTEE REPORTS. Wrangle Over the Election of Central Committee Chairman. Grant Harrington, chairman of the committee on credentials of the Popu list state convention, submitted the re port of the committee. The committee recommended the seating of the anti-Leedy delegation and there was no opposition to the re port in the convention. There was but one contest and that was from Shaw nee. Senator A. F. Titus of Harper coun ty submitted the report of the ma jority of the committee on order of business which did not include the elec tion of a chairman of the state cen tral committee by the convention. Harry McLean of Miami county sub mitted the minority report, favoring the selection of the chairman by the con vention, and supported it in a heated speech, protesting against machine politics. "It is action, not political machine methods," said he, "that wins. Go on record if you will for the methods of the Republican party." Senator Titus said in defense of his report: "The place on the report is left blank and when the time comes this question can be considered." A motion to substitute the minority for the majority report was made by a delegate from Coffey county. Chase Johnson opposed the substitute. He said the Populist party will have "one man power" if the chairman is elected by the convention. By a viva voce vote the majority re port was adopted and Taylor Riddle's adherents won a victory. T. E. Genet reported for the com mittee on permanent organization as follows: Chairman, L. P. King; secretary, J. W. Morphy; assistant secretaries, A. D. Gilpin and W. J. Fuller; reading clerk, Sol Long. The report was adopted without op position and Senator King thanked the convention as he assumed authority. He left his seat on a harvester to at tend the convention and did not expect to serve in any other capacity than that of a delegate. The first thing that was to be dis posed of was the selection of a con ference committee to meet like commit tees from the Democratic and Silver Republican conventions to agree upon a fusion ticket. Senator Householder moved that the committee be composed of one delegate from each congressional district to be selected by the delegates and the mo tion was adopted. A recess was then taken to agree upon the members of the committee. LAPSE OF MEMORY. The Convention Could Not Sing the Star Spangled Banner. At the Wednesday afternoon session of the Populist convention Marshall's band was on the platform and filled in the time consumed by the committees in making their reports. After the band had played all the old tunes William Cady of Butler county stood up and when he had attracted the attention of Chairman Andrews he said: "I notice that the 'Star Spangled Ban ner' is a favorite with the delegates. I now move that the band play that air and that the delegates stand up and sing it with them." The motion was adopted and John Marshall hunted up the music and started. The delegates stood up and made frantic efforts to remember the words, but without success. Even Mr. Cady. who made the motion, failed to re call a single line and the delegates tum bled into their seats when the band stop ped, conscious of the utter failure of the patriotic musical scheme. Another delegate from the Fourth dis trict wanted the same thing tried with the "Battle. Hvmn of the Republic," but the delegates refused to try it over again. NO STATE STOCK YARDS. How the Effort to Make Them a Pub lic Institution Was Defeated. The section of the Populist conven tion's resolutions providing for state control the stockyards was last night stricken out. Later on Delegate Harrington wanted the vote by which stockyards resolution was last reconsidered. I. Stratton wanted the resolutions adopted as originally reported. A motion to adjourn was lost. I. Stratton resumed his remarks on reconsidering the stockyards vote. J. Butler made the point of order that Stratton had spoken before on the question. Chairman King ruled that the point was not well taken. "He has never surrendered the floor," said the chair man. "Do you think he ever will?" in Quired a delegate.. At 28 minutes after midnight a motion to adjourn was carried, which ended the struggle to make the Kansas City stockyards a public institution. THE RESOLUTIONS As Introduced in the Populist State Convention. The following is the report of the committee on resolutions of the Popu list state convention. There is a fierce debate over them, and it is quite likely all will not be adopted. The conven tion has already stricken out the word "life" in the resolution about state in surance, and has eliminated the resolu tion about stockyards, altogether. We commend the state administration for its patriotic and vigorous defense of the rights of the people and its efficient and economical conduct of state affairs. We commend the action of Populist mem bers of the last legislature in passing laws that have saved hundreds of thous ands of dollars to the people of Kansas. We also commend the course of our sen ator and representatives in congress for their oppositon to the issuance of inter est bearing bonds and the encroachments" of corporate power upon the rights of the people, and their vigilant devotion to the interests of their constituents. First We demand that the initiative and referendum be embodied in our state constitution and favor proportional rep resentation. We favor the public ownership of all public .utilities and demand the public ownership and operation of all monopo lies. The state laws regulating the stock yards charges having been resisted, we demand that the state of Kansas shall provide adequate market facilities by purchasing land and constructing necessary build ings, yards and other conveniences to fur nish the people an open public market and under such regulations as will prevent a combination of buyers and commission men from controlling or regulating prices. Charges for such services to cover actual cost of operation and repairs only. We demand that the state of Kansas shall provide insurance protection, both lire'and life, as a state function, at cost. These demands being in opposition to the existing constitution of the state, we demand a constitutional convention, to the end that they may be made effective, and that other defects that now exist in our state constitution may be remedied. We demand the enactment of a freight rate law giving to a court of railway com missioners, to be elected by the people, the power to fix rates and classifications of railways, and the further power to compel the railways to make full reports with reference to their business. Recognizing the great saving and benefit to the people from the text book law passed by a Populist legislature and put into operation by a Populist administra ton. we favor its extension along the same general lines to include all text books and school supplies as far as possible. We demand the enactment of the labor laws necessary for the public weal. 1. A law making- county clerks' offices free public employment agencies, the state labor bureau to constitute a general clear ing house for the surplus applications of the counties. 2. A law making the bureau of labor and industrial statistics an independent department of the stat,e government. 3. A law completelv revising the mining laws to the end that it may be safer for the miners to work and more dangerous for the operators to disobey. 4. A law taxing as costs in actions for the recovery of wages a reasonable attor ney's fee for the collection of the same, and providing that in case of an em ployer's assignment or insolvency, wages shall be a prior lien to all attachments and mortgages. 5. While the law of 1897, under the oper ation of which all profits accrued to the state rather than to the middleman un der the guise of a contractor was an im provement on the old contract law, we de clare ior a law that will conline the out put of the penitentiary mine to the needs of the state institutions, to the end that these institutions shall not in the future be placed at the mercy of a combination of private corporations. We demand the free and unlimited coin age of gold and silver at the ratio of six teen of silver to one of gold, and the issue of legal tender notes good for all debts in preference to the issue of interest-bearing bonds. We oppose the issuance of all bonds, and we condemn the Republican party for its action in fastening upon the people a large bonded debt ostensibly for war reve nue, but in reality for the perpetuation of the national banking system. Resolved, That we send to our volun teer soldiers our high appreciation of their patriotic devotion to the country and every facility be extended to them to vote at coming elections and that their pay be in creased to S20 per month. We favor service pensions for all sur vivors of the Union armies of the civil war. AVe demand the immediate abolition of the metropolitan police system. We denounce the Republicans in both houses of congress for the unanimity with which they have followed the dictation of foreign and domestic bondholders in vot ing against an income tax and the one fourth of one per cent on railroad cor porations which are being enriched by government contracts, and also their re fusal to tax Wall street transactions. And we also denounce as unpatriotic the action of the Republican party in follow ing the dictates of those who would spec ulate and make gain out of our present war while our brave volunteers risk their fortunes and lives in defense of our Hag and humanity.

Washington, June 16. Five minutes after the opening of the senate's session today the message clerk of the house of representatives delivered to the senate the Hawaiian annexation tesolution presented to the house last evening. On the suggestion of Mr. Davis (Nfin. nesota) the resolution was laid befo:e the senate and was then referred to the committee on foreign relation-. A bill to authorize the Missouri, Kansas Pacific railroad to restore the chan nel of the Souti- Canadian river at the point of the road's crossing in the In dian Territory was favorably reported and passed. Washington, June 16. Senator Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations said today that he would call a meeting of that committee tomorrow morning to consider the Hawaiian res olution which passed the house yester day. The senator said that he expected the committee to dispose of the matter at one sitting and that he had no doubt the decision would be favorable to an nexation. If he is not disappointed in his expec tation, he will report the resolution at the beginning of tomorrow's session of the senate and will ask for immediate consideration resisting any movement that may be made looking to adjourn ment of the senate until Monday. ADMIRAL, BERMEJt), L.A.'VK SPAAISH MINISTER OP HARIXK. This gentleman; who Is a. much batter talker than fighter, has been a prominent figure in Spanish politics for a number of years. He deceived his people several timea about the whereabouts of the so-called Cape Verde fleet, and misled them shame fully about the equipment of the ships under his administration: In the opinion of naval authorities he Is as far behind the times as his own warships. DIDO'S QUEER MOVE. Spaniards of the Canaries Are Astonished at British Actions. Las Palmas. Canary Islands, June 16. Considerable excitement and comment have been caused here by the fact that prior to her departure from this port the Britsh second class cruiser Dido went through maneuvers said by the Spaniards to be unusual, in front of the bay, includ ing practicing landings on the south coast- THREE NEW BATTLESHIPS. Their Construction Will Be Commenc ed Right Away. New Tork, June 16. The construction of three large battleships under the provision of the last annual naval ap propriation bill, says the Washington correspondent of the Tribune, is to be undertaken without further delay by the navy department, in accordance with plans and designs drawn and agreed upon by a special board having the subject under advisement. These additions to the navy are to be similar in many respects to the Alabama type of battleships, of which three are now building; but departures have been made in some respects from these ves sels that are expected to develop a still more perfect type of war vessel. In one particular the vessels have been subject to some justifiable criticism but so far as their armament and ord nance goes' they, will probably be with out a peer for their displacement, afloat. The intention of the naval authorities has been practically to duplicate a type of battleship that is believed to be without superior except in speed qual ities which are the recognized weak fea tures in the plans of the proposed ves sels. Ships of their dimensions now building abroad will be required to maintain a rate of at least 18 knots an hour under normal load conditions, whereas the requirements of the navy for the ships about to be contracted for call for vessels of but 16 knots. Fail ure to provide an increased speed has been due to a desire on the part of the secretary to facilitate their construc tion and not undertake entirely original designs, which would make necessary a postponement of their completion per haps six months. The usual controversy that follows whenever any naval program of an in crease is begun ensued in the construc tion board on the question of speed, the engineer in chief arguing for a de cided increase, while other members were not willing to sacrifice the import ant features in order to secure it. Com modore Melville presented an argument showing that by the introduction of the quadruple expansion system and the tubular boilers the new battleships will have a speed of 18 knots, but he was op posed by the board on account of the additional machinery space required. As the subject how stands the battle ships will have practically the same di mensions as those of the Alabama, a speed of 16 knots and a battery com prising four 13-inch guns in the turret, ten 6-inch rapid fire guns in the broad side, on the main deck, and four on the upper deck and a secondary battery of twenty-four rapid fire and machine guns. They will be protected around their sides by a belt of 16 Inches of armor, having a mean depth of seven feet six inches and to extend from the stem to the after barbette. All turret armor will be 14 inches throughout. A protective deck will extend the length of the vessels varying in thickness from three to five inches, -and the us ual cellulose belt is also to be fitted along the entire length of the ships. CARLISTS AT WORK. Are Holding Secret Meetings in Brus sels. London, June 16. A dispatch from Brussels to the Daily Chronicle con firms the reports as to the exceptional activity of the Carlists just now.

At Thornton, Mo., a small station eight miles out of Kansas City at 8:35 this morning, the westbound Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul passenger crashed into an east bound freight. Local officials of the Milwaukee declare that no one was hurt. LABORERS COMPLAIN. Assert That the Call for Harvest Hands is a BIuiE Writing from Salina to the State Journal, J. D. Ferguson says: "There are hundreds of idle men in Saline and surrounding counties. Wa ges for harvest hands are now 75 cents and $1.00 per day, with ten men to every job." A Topeka man who does not give his name, in a letter to the Journal written at Hayes City, yesterday, says: "Ellis county asked for 700 men to help in the harvest fields. The county can not give work to half that number of men. The wheat will not be ready to' harvest for three weeks. "I am one of the 50 men landed In Hays City yesterday and 100 more are on the road between here and Topeka. There is no work here and the farmers will not feed us as they agreed to. "It looks like a scheme to get men here in such numbers that the wages can be cut down to a mere pittance." SENATE DOES SOME WORK. Passes a Number of Bills of Mihor Importance. Washington, June 16. Bills were passed by the senate today as follows: To extend the time for the construction of the rail way of the St. Louis, Oklahoma South ern railway company through Indian Ter ritory; to extend the time for the con struction of the railway of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railroad through the Indian Territory; to provide $1,000 for the immediate repair of the reservoir dam at Lake Winnibagoshish, Minnesota; to grant lands to the state of Alabama for the use of the agricultural and mechani cal college of Alabama for negroes and the state normal college at Florence, Ala.

Furnished by the Associated Press to the State Journal. Chicago, June 16. WHEAT Numerous reports of crop damage and higher cables developed a strong sentiment in wheat today. Shorts covered on the wet weather in the south west. Liverpool cables came l'frSd higher. The Price Current says prospects are the wheat yield will be less than 70.-4 000.000 bushels. The heavy rains in the southwest have delayed the harvest and caused rust and lodging. In many sec tions the ground is too soft for the oper ation of machines and the. over-ripe wheat is suffering. Receipts here and in the northwest were light. Chicago received 11 cars against 16 cars last year, and Min neapolis and Duluth 119, as compared with 21 for the same day last year.. July opened Wulc higher at S14iS2c, sold up to H'sC, down to tiOVkc, then up to 81c. September started lc better at 7:4 c, declined to 72.e, then rallied to 72c. CORN Wet weather and the strength in wheat sent prices up in corn at the start. Longs were free sellers, however, and the gain was all ost. July opened iac higher at 3434c, declined-to 33TsC, then rose to 34c. OATS Reports of damage to the grow ing crop stimulated the price of oats. July began c higher at 2Vfec, sold off to 24fiaie, then strengthened to 24'ctc. PROVISIONS Free selling by packers weakened provisions somewhat.

New York: The market seems to have reached the point where choice is offered between an acute depression or a rally on the part of the short interest. Some in dications encourage the belief that there are certain bull interests which would be well pleased to buy stocks five points lower. Sugar Refining, which has been the pivot on which the general list has swung of late, has lost 14i2 per cent from the best price of the year. It is now snid with -confidence that the annexation bill will pass the senate. This should mark the culmination of the bear campaign in Sugar Refining. As directly affecting tha granger stocks, nothing has occurred which could justly be considered unfavor able except the severe decline in wheat and the temporary embarrassment of Lei ter. Every one of the important granger roads is earning a handsome surplus over its dividend rate. The 'indications of great success for the government war loan were also accepted as a matter of course. In these circumstances one may even won der whether a renewal of gold imports would revive optimism at the Stock Ex change.

It organizes every year a course of lectures treating upon element ary medicine and minor surgery lor tne instruction of nurses and ambulance as sistants." The letter follows: "Sir: I have the honor to inform you that on the occasion of the bal recently given at the Hotel Frascati In this city, the local committee of the Association Des Dames Francaises decided to reserve the sum of 500 francs from the receipts from the ball to be used in aid of the wounded in the American army.

THILLARD, "President of the Association." 21,000 APPLICANTS Por the 50O Army Appointments Which Have Been Given Out Washington, June 1G. The organization of the volunteer army made necessary the appointment from civil life of a few less than 500 staff officers and second lieuten ants. The enormous amount of work en tailed upon the president and the war de partment, particularly the adjutant gen eral and his force, by these appointments can be imagined when it is known that for the 500 appointments there were more than 21,000 applicants. Every one of the ap plications had to be briefed, arranged and filed before the appointments were made. Many of the applications had to be han dled several times. Each one had to be answered and many of them were the sub jects of considerable correspondence. The majority of the applicants had influential support and the president, the secretary of war and adjutant Corbin were obliged to discuss the appointments personally with the friends of the applicants.
