New York, June 23. A special dated at Play a del Este, Cuba, to day, says that at I o'clock this morning the last of Gen. Shatter's army of invasion had landed at Baiquiri. (Copyright.' 189S, by Associated Press.) On Board the Associated Press Des patch Boat Wanda, Baiquiri Harbor, Cuba, June 22, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 23. At S o'clock this afternoon 6, 000 trained American soldiers are camp ed In the hills in and around Baiquiri and 10,000 more rest on their arms on board the transports off shore ready to Join those who have debarked as soon as the available launches and small boats can carry them ashore. Time and sea and weather were pro pitious for the army of invasion. The navy and the army co-operated splend idly and as the big war snips closed in on the shore to pave the way for the approach of the transports and then went back again three cheers for the navy went up from 10,000 throats on the troop ships and three cheers for the army rose from ship after ship as the troop ships moved in to take their ehare in the hazardous game. It was war and it was magnificent. Insurgents Help. The Cuban insurgents too, bore their BAY AT j

The bay at Baiquiri, sixteen miles east of Santiago, runs inland a mile and a half. There are high hills on both sides, the village of Baiquiri being; on the hill to the east, which is not shown in the picture. An iron pier, built by the Spanish-American Iron Company for use of its ships, runs out 500 feet and curves to the north and east. There is twenty-two feet of water around the pier. Fair roads lead from Baiquiri to Santiago, which lies about where the X is shown in the distance. The high mountains seen in the picture are the Sierras, home of Garcia's army of insurgents. J ""x i ANDS IN CUBA share In the enterprise, honorably and well. Five thousand of them, in moun tain fastnesses and dark thickets of ravines lay all last night on their guns watching every road and mountain path leading from Santiago to Guatan amo. A thousand of them were within sight of Baiquiri, making the approach of the Spaniards under cover of the darkness an impossibility. At 4 o'clock this morning as the Associated Press dispatch boat approached Baiquiri, the entire island of Cuba seemed wrapped in soft mist like that of the dog days in nothern latitudes. Leaden clouds lay on the eastern horizon and the color was reflected in the gray waters of the ocean, which gently undulated in the mazy breeze. Distant objects loomed dimly but it was seen that many of the troop ships that had been lying several miles in the offing had drawn in towards shore, while three or four warships lay menacingly near the harbor approach. All around transports, steam launches and small boats were bobbing about like corks, the first indication of the true object of the undertaking ahead. An hour later the sun was rising in the eastern sky touching the mountain tops with patches of light green and revealing the great semi-circles of troop ships, some close to the coast line, others a mile distant, with their decks crowded with eager, expectant men. impatient to begin the great movement of destiny, to make a new chapter in the history of America, the first inva sion by our army of a foreign country in half a century. As the dispatch boat of the Associa ted Press, ran closer in, near where the New Orleans was lying with her great Armstrong guns trained on Baiquiri, tongues of flame and black smoke were seen rising from the town, the inevita ble consequence of war and a sure sign that the Spaniards had gone, leaving ruin behind. The captain of the New Orleans shouted the news to the dis patch boat adding: "You had better keep off a little. You are in range.They have a rifle on the hill on the eastern side of Baiquiri." There is a steep rocky hill, known as Punta Baiquiri, rising almost perpen dicularly at the place indicated. It is a veritable Gibraltar in possibilities of defense. From the staff at its summit, the Spanish' flag Was defiantly floating at sunset last night, but it was gone this morning and with It the small Spanish giiard, which had maintained the signal station. Between nightfall and dawn, the Spaniards had taken the alarm and fled from the place, firing the town as they left. The flames were watched with interest from the ships. Two sharp explosions were heard. At first they were thought to be the report of guns from Spanish masked batteries, but they proved to be the explosion of ammunition in the burning building. Three hours waiting made the men on the transports impatient to get ashore and in action, and every move of the war ships was closely watched by the soldiers. Bombardment Begins. A little before 9 o'clock the bombard ment of the batteries of Jaragua was begun by the ships of Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet. This was evidently a feint to cover the real point of attack, Jaragua being about half way between Baiquiri and SaJitiago. The bombard ment lasted about twenty minutes. The scene then quickly shifted back again to the great semi-circle of the transport fleet before Baiquiri. At 9:40 o'clock the New Orleans opened fire with a gun that sent a shell rumb ling and crashing against the hillside. The Detroit, Wasp, Machias and Suwa nee followed suit and soon the hillsides and the valleys seemed to be ablaze as shot followed shot in swift succession. BAIQUIRI, WHERE TROOPS DISEMBARKED. amid the wild and excited cheering of the soldiers on the transports. In five minutes the sea was alive with flotillas of small boats headed by launches, speeding for Baiquiri dock. Some of the boats were manned by crews of sailors while others were rowed by the soldiers themselves. Each boat contained 16 men, every one in fighting trim and carrying three days rations, a shelter tent, a gun and 200 cartridges ready to take the field on touching the shore, should they be called upon to do so. The firing of the warships, however, proved to be. a needless precaution, as their shots were not returned and no Spaniards were visible. Two correspondents of the Associated Press, in a small boat joined the first flotilla that went ashore and witnessed the Inspiring sight of the landing. Gen. Shatter, on board the Seguran ca, closely watched the landing of the troops. Brig. Gen.. Lawton had been de tailed to command the landing of the troops. Lawton in the Lead. Brig. Gen. Lawton, who had been de tailed to command the landing party led the way in a launch, accompanied by his staff and directed the formation of the line of operations. A detachment of SO regular infantry soldiers was the first to land, followed by Gen. Shafter's old regiment, the First infantry. Then came the Twenty-fifth infantry, the Twenty-second in fantry, the Tenth infantry, the Seventh and Twelfth infantry, the Second Mas sachusetts regiment and a detachment of the Ninth cavalry. The boats rushed forward simultan eously from every quarter, in good na tured rivalry to be first and their occu pants scrambled over one another to leap ashore. As the boats tossed about in the surf breaking against the pier, getting ashore was no easy matter and the soldiers had throw their rifles on the dock before they could climb up them selves and some hard tumbles resulted, but nobody was hurt. At the end of the pier the companies and regiments quickly lined up and were marched away. Gen .Lawton threw a strong detach ment for the night about six miles west, on the road to Santiago and another de tachment was posted to the north of the town among the hills. The rest of the troops were quartered in the town, some of them being housed in the build ings of the Iron company. Others of the troops were quartered in deserted house's while others still, preferred the shelter of their tents in the adjoining fields. The morning's fire, It was seen, des troyed the round house, the repair shops and several small dwellings. The town was deserted when the troops landed but women and children soon appeared from the surrounding thickets, and returned to their homes. The sun-bronzed soldiers, in their slouch hats and service uniforms.quick ly reached the buildings and beat up the thickets after landing, in search of lurking foes, and marched into the un known country beyond at night, with long swinging stride and the alert bearing of the old frontier army men, ready to fight the Spaniards Sioux fashion, or in the open, wherever they could be found. The cheers of their comrades still waiting on the transports and of the blue jackets and the strains of "Yan kee Doodle" from the bands on the troop ships, saluted them as they dis appeared from view over the hills of Baiquiri. The landing was accomplished with out loss of life, the only casualty being the wounding of an insurgent on the hills by a shell from one of our ships. He will lose his arm. The Insurgent troops at Baiquiri are commanded by Gen. Castillo and are estimated to number a thousand men. In Garcia's Camp. (Copyright, 1898. by the Associated Press.) In General Garcia's Camp, Aurrenderas, Santiago de Cuba, June 22. Per the As sociated Press Dispatch Boat Wanda, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 23. A Cuban who left the city of Santiago on Monday night arrived at General Garcia's camp on Tues day morning with accurate maps of the harbor and of the earthworks surround ing it. The ships of Admiral Cervera have moved from the positions they were in three days ago and now lie in almost a circle, surrounding a small island and lighthouse about half way up the four mile harbor. The armored cruiser Cris tobal Colon, which is uninjured, lies to the west, commanding with her port bat tery the narrow neck of the harbor, while Vizcaya, also uninjured, lies to the east of her, her starboard battery looking upon the same neck. Both of the Spanish torpedo boat de stroyers are temporarily disabled, one having been struck by a fragment of the shells that sunk the Reina Mercedes and the other having her boiler tubes and en gines in course of repair. The most important statement made was In substance that the torpedo boats have not since their arrival here made any at tempt to leave, being unable to do so. The ships have only half their supplies of coal, although some coal arrived by overland routes two weeks ago. The shell that sunk the Eeina Mercedes was fired by the Massachusetts. Beyond this loss and the quite large loss of life Incident to it there was little or no dam age done. The earthworks were disturb ed and one smooth bore gun was dis mounted on the west battery. Seven new guns are being put up, facing the sea, three of which on the west are ship's guns of the 6-inch rapid fire variety and automatic guns of all descriptions, it ap pears, are being dismounted from the ships and mounted on the earthworks surrounding the city. A new line of trenches has been dug about a mile and a half from the city. The Spanish soldiers known as the reg ular troops are on half rations, and no ra tions or supplies are furnished to the local Spanish forces, numbering about 3,000 men. They are compelled to forage for themselves. The spirit of discontent, it also seems, is very widespread among the Spanish troops, and an uprising in Santiago de Cuba is feared. There is an absolute lack of drugs in Santiago, and finally, the crews of the Spanish warships are on half rations. SHAFTER'S BASE. It Will Be Connected "With Washing ton by Wire. Washington, June, 23. The military situation at Santiago so far as the war and navy department know, remains precisely as it was at sundown yester day. Neither Shatter nor Sampson has reported since the two cablegrams received last night. It is gathered from these, taken in connection with the press reports that only one landing in a military sense has been made, but naturally with so large a number of .transports to be discharged the troops have been scattered up and dowrvAto beach for several miles. The cable station is within seven miles of the point of debarkation. The officials here say that this work cannot be completed for several days although of course, the troops without their sup plies may be all ashore before that time. One beneficent effect from the land ing at Baiquiri will be to distract the attention of the Spaniards from the harbor of Guantanamo. The mines having been probably removed and the forts that commanded the lower har bor having been silenced with the dis appearance of the Spaniards from the country surrounding the bay the navy will be In full possession of what it has long wished for, an absolutely safe and land locked harbor in wheh all of Sampson's fleet and the transports as well, can find refuge from any West Indian cyclones. Gen. Greely received a dispatch today from Lieut. Col. Allen of the signal ser vice, in charge of the cable station es tablished at Playa del Este, Cuba. It did not relate to military operations, but from the fact that no reference was made to important developments, it was inferred that the situation has not, changed materially since last night, when the landing of troops was in pro gress. Col. Allen will make Playa del Este the cable base,' but in addition to this a military cable line will be stretched from that point westward along the coast to the headquarters of Gen. Shatter. By this shore loop. Gen. Shafter will be brought into direct cable communication with the war depart ment. Col. Allen Is now hurrying for ward preparations in this direction. He has all the material necessary for the shore loop, with instruments and oper ators ready to work the lines as soon as the army headquarters are fixed. It is not quite clear thus far at what point Gen. Shafter and his main body of troops have established their base. The official dispatches to the secretary of war and secretary of the navy spoke of landing at Baiquiri and a demon stration at Cabanas. Other official mes sages stated that the landing was going on simultaneously at two points with a view to makir g an assault on Santiago in the front and rear. The press dis patches also speak of Juragua as a probable point of landing. At whatev er one of these points Gen. Shafter takes up his base, the military tele graph lines will connect them with Playa del Este, and thence to the war department. Being strictly a military line, the cable from headquarters to Playa del Este will not be open for commercial business, although the au thorities will be disposed to give the press such facilities as are possible un der the circumstances. Most of the un official messages, however, will have to be handled from Playa del Este, in or der to avoid glutting the military tap. Baiquiri. Baiquiri is about 15 miles due east from the mouth of Santiago harbor. A small river runs inland at that point, affording additional facilities for landing. The map shows a road direct from Baiquiri to the entrance of Santi ago harbor and thence along the harbor to the city of Santiago. Besides this road a railroad starts a few miles west of Baiquiri circling along the coast up to the mouth of Santiago harbor. Jura gua, the other point mentioned in these dispatches is midway between Baiquiri and Santiago harbor. It also has a small stream giving additional facilities for landing and the railroad appears to take its start along the coast from that point. Back of this railroad, and highway, the interior shows mountainous formations which would make the progress of an army difficult. It seems evident from an ex amination of the army map, that Gen. Shafter's troops at Baiquiri, or Jura gua will move westward along the highway, perhaps utilizing the railroad, and thus approaching Santiago from the southeast. Distinct from this landing, which is east of Santiago harbor, it seems evi dent that at least a part of Gen. Shaf ter's force will land west of the harbor thus allowing an attack on Santiago from the northwest. The dispatches state that a demonstration was made against Cabanas, which is shown on the military map as a small place just west of Santiago harbor and not more than two or three miles from the mouth. Further to the west is Aserradero where Generals Rabi and Garcia have a large force of Cuban troops. It is clearly inexpedient for this Cuban force to make the inland circuit clear around Santiago and form a juncture with Gen. Shafter to the east of Santiago harbor. Their natural base therefore will be to the west at Aserradero co operating with such of Gen. Shafter's troops as land to the west of the har bor. A road runs from Aserradero to Cabanas. No road is shown along the west line of Santiago harbor and the march of the American and Cuban troops making the assault on the west side of the city may be slow and la--borious through the tangled tropical underbrush, swamp and rock. Besides the military map the war department has a large amount of con fidential material showing the landings, roads, etc., all along the present field of operations. These include large photo graphs of Baiquiri. One of the photo graphs shows Baiquiri as a scattered group of huts on the edge of a rugged declivity, running down to the ocean. Huge boulders cover the rising ground, apparently making travel back of the town impossible. Another picture shows extensive tramways, elevated freight tracks, and the elaborate plant of a large mining concern. This plant seems to assure facilities for handling the heavy artillery when It is brought ashore. WAITS FOR DEWEY. Agninaldo Will Hold Off Until American Troops Arrive. London, June 23. The Manila Rail road company having offices in this city has received a cable message say ing that though the Philippine insur gents have captured all but the Inner city of Manila, they are respecting property and are refraining from loot ing. A London agent of the insurgents claims to have information that Gen. Aguinaldo has made a compact with Rear Admiral Dewey not to attack the walled city until the American troops arrive, when the Americans and the in surgents will co-operate. Martin Thorn to Die. New York, June 23. Martin Thorn, convicted of the murder of Wm. Guld ensuppe, a bath rubber, at Woodside, Long Island, a year ago, has been con demned to be executed during the week beginning August 1. Alaska's New Railroad. Skar.uay, Alaska, June 15, via Seat tle, Wash., June 23. The first mile of track of the first railway in Alaska was laid through Skaguay today. Grading is finished for a distance of five miles beyond the city limits. AJURYJDFVVOMEN Would Probably Acqnit John Collins Promptly. A Majority of Those Frequent ing the Court Boom THINK HIM INNOCENT. The Hearing Wilt Probably End Today. Sheriff Cook Again Placed on the Stand. The fourth day of the preliminary hearing of John H. Collins for the murder of his father, J. S. Collins, opened at the usual hour. There were fewer women in the court room and the heat was intense. A canvass of the women attendingthe 'mlk Wm n II fifllffii MISS FRANCES BABCOCK. An Important Witness who is at the Seashore. trial revealed the secret of their in terest. They nearly all believe John Collins is innocent and their faith has not been shattered by the most damag ing evidence. They refuse to believe the stories of the colored men and it is safe to say that if John Collins was to be tried by a jury of women he would be acquitted. Nothing but a confession would shatter the con fidence of John Collins' women ad mirers. John Collins himself has grown some what serious. While Jesse Harper was on the witness stand recounting the story of his meetings and conversations with John Collins the young man lean ed forward eagerly and frequently whispered to his attorney, Mr. Hayden, Harper's actions were so ridiculous and his language so typical of the prize ring that the spectators frequently laughed, but John Collins did not smile. His face preserved its serenity and for the first time during the hearing he seemed to realize the situation in which Harper's statements placed him. Eighteen witnesses have been ex amined and the state expects to close with the testimony ef Johnson Jordan who is to follow Sheriff Cook who is being cross-examined this forenoon. H C. Safford announced this morning that the hearing will be completed to day. Sheriff Cook said on the witness stand this morning that he wanted to be con sidered a friend, of John Collins. He said he regretted having to testify. This would indicate that Sheriff Cook is not firmly convinced that John Col lins murdered his father. He said that he was an unwilling witness. Sheriff Cook was not a first-class wit ness. He failed to remember many things, particularly about the conver sations. When Johnson Jordan was called aft er Sheriff Cook left the stand several women who were sitting on the flour arose and the time until Jordan was brought in was taken up by a chatter which indicated the interest in the test imony which was to follow. Jordan, the man who says he was em ploved by John Collins to kill his fath er is above the average height. His fea tures are regular and he would be call ed a dark mulatto. He appeared In the court room in a well fitted suit of blue cloth. He gave his answers with promptness that would make a good impression on a jury. A person looking at Jordan would at once conclude that he might do any thing, no matter how desperate. He Jeaned over the arm of the chair as if eager to tell everything, especially if it would relieve him of suspicion. He seemed a trifle too eager. "e TesiSnjrnv.

Phone 46. 7CMJ Jackson St HOSTtTTER's CELEBRATED VI FRENCH ARE PACIFIED Since the Doctor Told Them How It Is. Says lie Has Changed Bis Tlews Also. London, June 23. Dr. Chauncey M. Depew has partly recanted his opposi tion to imperialism as the result of the latest war developments and of three weeks In Europe. During his sojourn he has had unusual opportunities of learning the sentiment of politicians and of the public. He will return to New York by the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse on Friday. Requested by the correspondent of the Associated Frees to summarize his views of French and English opinion on war questions, Dr. Depew said: "The sentiment in France is about what It would be In the United States if England and France were fighting and every paper In the United States were dally abusing the French, denouncing- the injustice of their going to war, picturing them as a race of robbers, shopkeepers and pigs, declar ing that England was poor and was the under dog and holding up France as act uated by nothing but a pure brute tie lire to steal England's property. "That's what all the papers but three are doing in France. When we also consider that France and Spain are both of the Latin race, and of the same religion.and that Frenchmen have hun dreds of millions invested in Spain, we need not be surprised that the feeling there is practically unanimous against us. I think only one man prevents this feeling taking acute form. That is jM. Hanotaux, the minister of foreign af fairs. But for him the French chamber of deputies mlprht have taken action, openly siding with Spain. "There is no doubt that had Manila been a Spanish victory there would have been an ilhtmination of Paris. It was on account of this sentiment that I endeavored to give the causes of the war when the Temps and Matin asked for Interviews. I was told it was a revelation to the French and led to ma terial modification of French opinion. They had not heard our side before." When the talk turned on England, the interviewer suggested that the sympathies of the British aristocracy were largely with the Spanish. Dr. Depew said he had not found them so. "I have met with many of them during my visit," he said, "and found them all enthusiastically with us. The women are all with us. That is the best are. The majority of the people do not want a mere understanding, they want a hard and fast alliance. If continental Europe intervened on the side of Spain, Great Brtain would go as far as we are willing to make an alliance." Asked if his opinion on imperial pol icy had changed. Dr. Depew replied: "There are difficulties in my position which did not exist when I took it un. New conditions are arising all the while with the progression of the war which makes it difficult to keep out or get out of this colonizing business. We must take into view the temper of our people, who would certainly never give any col onies back to Spain. Transferring them or any of them to a European power would lead to a European war in 60 days. It looks as though we would have to paint our white elephant brown and teach him to work." JURY WILL DECIDE. Milwaukee. Reduced Oar Fare Cases Have a JVew Trial. Milwaukee, June 23. The celebrated 4-cent fate case, which was decided re cently by Judge Seaman against the city, will not be appealed to the United States supreme court, as was the orig inal Intention. It is not the intention, however, to discontinue the case alto gether. It is the opinion of those con nected with it that the matter of reas onableness in the charge Is one which may be properly submitted to a jury, and it is the intention to drop this case and bring a similar action, but one in which a Jury will pass upon the' ques tion. It Is contended by the attorneys for the city that the question of whether or not the street railway company can af ford to carry passengers for 4 cents la a question of fact, and, that as such, it should be properly tried before a Jury. If the new suit is fought out on the lines which are contemplated, it will be the first time in the history of such lit igation in this country that it was de cided by twelve men from the ranks of the people. MISS HOWARD GUILTY. Journalist Joe's Daughter Alienated a Husband's Affections. Chamberlain, S. D., June 23. The Ju ry in the suit of Mrs. Joseph Manore against Miss Grace Howard, daughter of Joe Howard, the New York journal ist, for alienating the affections of her husband brought in a verdict awarding Mrs. Manore $2,000 actual damages in addition to J1.000 exemplary damages. The case was bitterly contested. Miss Howard's mother and sister from New York were here in the court room during the trial, which developed many highly sensational and dramatic features. Millions Given Away. It Is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern In the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering.

THE BATTLE OF MANILA ADMIRAL DEWEY'S BQUADROU Fbom a Siitch kads oa TBI Dxstatch-Boat McCulloch by Jobs T. McCptchio. INTEREST UNLIMITED. Illinois Supreme Court Renders an Important Decison. Springfield, 111., June 3. Justice Phil lips in the supreme court announced an opinion of great interest to building and loan associations. The opinion was ren dered in the bill of T. Ji. Rhodes, appel lant, vs. the Missouri Savings and Loan company, a Missouri corporation, from Madison county. The appellee was grant ed a det-ree in Madison county to foreclose a mortgage for i,W0 with interest far ex ceeding the legal rate. The appellate court affirmed the decree. The supreme court reversed and re manded the case. The appellee pleaded that the building: and loan statute of Illi nois and a well settled principle cf law I in this state, that in case of building asso ciations organized under the the act of the legislature of the state providing for the organization of homestead associa tions, for the purnose of loaning its funds only among its members, no interest, pre miums or tines accruing to it are usurious and pleaded comiiy of states as applica ble to the case. Court holds that rule of comity does not hold in the case. Appellee held not to be doing business under the building and loan law of the state. The court declares: "The scope of appellee association is one which is not authorized by statute of this date. Its source for deriving its funds for loaning purposes is one which is not recognized by our statute. True, building and loan associations such as our statute provides for have no authority to declare or pay dividends on stock. Instead of funds b-:-in;r dei-ived from small payments made monthly by Its subscribers it may, instead, derive its entire fund by large subscrip tions of thousands of dollars made by money lenders and capitalists." The decision virtually excludes paid-up and non-participating stock features, of building associations in Illinois. Decision reaffirms former decision, case being re heard. BABY LIONS BORN. Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo Has New Accessions. Chicago, June 23. Three baby lions were born to Leo and Mme. Nellie, the leading lord and lady of the animal kingdom in the Lincoln park zoo. The young Leos are about the size of month grown kittens and are likely brutes, in the opinion of Cy De Vry, the animal keeper, who is par ticularly proud of the new accessions to his kinprdom. Mr. De Vry refused to In dulge the public clamor to see the baby lions for fear the crowds would annoy Nellie and induce her to destroy her off spring. "As soon as the cubs are a week old," explained the keeper, "they will be taken away from Nellie and put in a separate cage, where everybody can see them.' Mme. Nellie Is very proud of her pro geny and opens her great jaws with great satisfaction as she plants her huge paws on a line with her nose and watches the kittenish maneuvers of her numerous fam ily, for it is not every lioness that can boast of three babies born In captivity. Among the other new arrivals at the Lincoln park menagerie is a fawn, seven tiny white Maltese kittens, seven Great Dane puppies and as many newly hatch ed pheasants. What with baby lions, kit tens, puppies, pheasants and a baby deer. Keeper Cy De Vry has troubles of his own which will occupy him for some time to come. LABOR BUYS BONDS. St Xiouis Men Furnish Money to Aid the War. St. Louis, Mo.. June 23. The rush for the new war bonds continues and over ?100,000 worth of war bonds had been sold. This is the largest number for a half day yet sold, the previous record being for ssaturaay rorenoon, wnen u.u-ju were soia. Assistant United States Treasurer Small has been ordered to abandon sales of over 5S0O, so the army of purchasers this morn ing and this afternon as well were the working classes and the investments were in small amounts. Among the morning purchasers were 21 clerks in the internal revenue office and eight charwomen in the federal building. The banks report that the sales have been principally among laboring classes. HETTY GREEN'S MONEY. Her Son is Interested In Klondike Merchandise Venture. St. Louis. June 23. At 209 South Fourth street there Is a store full of merchandise destined for the Klondike. It will be shipped in a few days to Seattle and thence to Dyea. where it will be distrib uted among the stores of the St. Louis Klondike company. The enterprise is backed by St. Loulsans and It Is understood that E. H. R. Green, the son of Hetty Green, is also interested In the enterprise. The company also con templates doing a general transportation business along the Yukon river, and has already shipped a steel hull steamer to Alaska. The vessel was constructed un der the superintendence of Phil Rohan, formerly in the boiler manufacturing and boat building business here. He Is in control of the affairs of the company and is now here attending to the purchase of supplies for the numerous trading posts to be established along the Yukon river. In spite of the tact that there has not been the great rush for the Klondike this spring and summer which was predicted, there is a steady of miners to the gold fields. The population In the Interior has more than kept pace with the various enterprises for supplying food, clothing, tools and transportation, and backers of the enterprise are thoroughly satisfied with the prospect. It is asserted that the war has been the chief cause of the with drawal of attention from the Klondike, but the miners in earnest are much pleas ed at the absence of the "fly-by-night" ele ment, and are making the most of their opportunities The stock of merchandise, clothing.tools, etc., being collected at 209 South Fourth, will make the biggest cargo sent from this city to Alaska, and it has been selected with regard to the experience of those who have gone to Alaska and failed as well as with reference to the men who have already made fortunes out of the trading opportunities. BEAT COLLECTORS. Chicago People Tease" Doors With Hirrors. Chicago, June 23. It's no wonder people are unable to gain admission to some homes in Chicago. They may be beggars or canvassers or millionaires. It doesn't matter, who they are if the residents don't care to see them they aren't seen. For it has come to pass that Chicagcans have at last adopted an eastern custom. It saves them trouble and annoyance and it's a novel scheme, too. You ring the bell a few times, bruise your knuckles rapping on the door. Now, at that don't go rifjht away at once. Just stand on the porch and "rubber." If your ej-es are sharp you will see a mirror at a suspicious angle glancing oft a window casing. If it is a Hat It will be on the first story and if a home possibly on the second story. Well, that's the se cret. The persons In the house have that doorway "feazed." By looking into the mirrir they can tell at a glance if a col lector has come to "dun" them for the Ice bill. If the next door neighbor na3 brought a gorgeous bunch of lilacs over for the front window, why, that's different. They call this the "reflector trick" down east, but the Chicago hrigade of collec ors has another awful name for it. It wouldn't do to say what it is. MAJORITY SICK. That is the Condition in Some Com panies of the 22nd. Camp Russell A. Alger, Falls Church, Va., June 19, '98. The first rain for three weeks Is fall ing this afternoon and the dust which has been almost suffocating, is laid. much to the relief cf everybody. Camp life has ceased to be a novelty and the Twenty-second has settled down to its routine. There is some complaint at the rude fare but most of the well men are in excellent spir its. The well men in some of the com panies, however, are in the minority and the hospital has been doing a land office business lately. The cases are not serious for the most part and the .surgeon says that the sick roll has fallen off appreciably in the past few days. The weather Is extremely hot through the day but the nights are delightfully cool and after the fatigue of a day's hard drill we hear and know nothing from taps to reveille. The regiment is being rapidly whip ped into shape and with the exception of the manual of arms the men have become quite proficient in drill. The guns, canteens and knapsacks have not yet arrived but the men are com pletely uniformed and despite the lack of accoutrements, present a fine ap pearance on parade. Just now we are expectantly await ing the recruits' who are to fill up our quota for when the "fresh fish" strike camp there will be great sport for the "veterans." Lieut. Colonel Graham, who is in command during the absence of Col. Lindsey in Kansas.is a thorough soldier and in the matter or officers the regiment is second to none in the corps. Major Doster was field officer of the day Friday and the general comment among other regiments was that he is the finest looking officer In the divis ion. There is considerable rivalry display ed on the part of the several candidates for the position of sergeant major of Major Doster's battalion which is at present vacant. Privates Cates, Boyd and Elliott have each been acting tem porarily and It now seems that the ap pointment will go either to Boyd or Cates, both of company H. Chapltain Biddison preached at excel lent sermon at the Y. M. C. A. tent this morning and his kindly devotion to the good of the men is having a wide influence among them. Another very popular officer is Surgeon De Neidman and just at this time when the sick number as high as three hundred out of a total of one thousand, he and his quinine cut a considerable quantity of ice. Speaking of ice reminds me that the vendors of ice cream and cold drinks are reaping a harvest for the boiled water, provided for drinking purposes, haa no opportunity to cool to a tem perature more refreshing than dish Spanith Shipt.

The regiment mustered for pay last week but the paymaster seems a long time coming and the finances of the camp, to say the least, are not flour ishing. There are some changes being made In the personnel of the companies al ready. One corporal has been reduced to the ranks, some of the men are just being mustered In and several have been discharged on account of disabil ities. It is perhaps not generally known that the Twenty-second has the young est commissioned officer in the entire volunteer army. In the person of First Lieutenant Mark Balrd Thompson, of company G, the "Norton Babies." He is a Norton boy and has just passed his eighteenth blrfhday but in spite of his youth, is an efficient officer and in his regimentals appears as dignified and commanding as the grey-haired civil war veterans who are very much in evidence at Camp Alger. Mrs. Harvey, the baby and colored serving woman arrived Friday and are housekeeping with the major in the most approved manner. It is commonly reported that we are to go from here to Fernandina, Florida, and thence to Porto Rico in the near future but there is no confirmation of such reports and no one knows what a day may bring forth. ARTHUR A. GREENE. WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES Henry.Corson Clark Will Take This Play to Manila. San Francisco, June 23. Actor Harry Corson Clark, erstwhile comedian with the favorite Frawleys, and later o! "What Happened to Jones" fame, is go ing to Manila. Not as a soldier in Uncle Sam's blue anxious to fight for the stars and stripes, will Mr. Clark depart for the Philippines, though should his country require his services the happy Thespian would be willing and ready to his duty; but he will in vade the islands in the role of an active, energetic, American theatrical manager ever looking for new fields of conquest in his particular vocation. Mr. Clark is ardently patriotic. Like wise he has absolute confidence In the supremacy of the United States. He feels positive that this government will retain its hold upon the Philippines, and he is anxious to be the "very first American to produce a play in Manila under the protecting folds of Old Glory." "This Idea has been buzzing in my head," said Mr. Clark the other day, "ever since we received the news of Dewey's glorious victory at Manila some time ago. I thought It would be a great scheme, my only doubt being, at first, that possibly the United States would not try to hold Manila. When the particulars of the naval battle came I at once realized that the American forces were supreme, and that Spanish rule in the Philippines was very near its end. The departure of the troop ships, indeed every subsequent develop ment has tended to strengthen the be lief that sooner or later the American flag will waive permanently over the Philippines. So I'm going to be the first American to produce a play in the capital. I'm trying to get a good patri otic play, one suitable to the occasion. In a few days I'll start out an advance agent to make the necessary arrange ments, and when I hear from him I'll be able to state more definitely what my plans are. At all events, I'm going to take a company there and play under the stars and stripes. "Of courst I'll take "What Happened to Jones' along. It's a good comedy a corker; besides, my adventures in this country since I began the management of the company that played it, have al ready gained quite a reputation for me, too good to lose," and Mr. Clark laughed merrily. "I'll tell you what," he continued, "we'll show the Spaniards a thing or two." Give the Children a Drink Called Grain-O. It is a delicious, appe tizing, nourishing food drink to take the place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked by all wp hare used it because when properly preared it tastes like the finest coffee fwj is free from all its injurious properties. Grain-O aids di gestion and strengthens the nerves. It is not a stimulant but a health builder, and children, as well as adults, can drink it with great benefit. Costs about as much as coffee. 15 and 25c The Great Rock Island Route. Four trains daily to Omaha, leaving Topeka 7.30 a. m., 1:05, 4:00 and 8:50 p. m. THE BATTLE OF MANILA. The accompanying picture is a repro duction of 'an illustration in Harper's Weekly, which was elaborated by W. A. Rogers from a sketch by John T. M'Cutcheon, who was on the revenue cutter McCulloch during the fight. It represents the line of United States cruisers swinging Into action off Cavite, headed by the intrepid commodore on his flag-ship, the Olympia, and is a vivid and accurate portrayal of a scene which will ever be remembered with patriotic pride by all Americans. It Is hard to predict the ultimate result of the work of Dewey's guns in drivine another wedge into the complicated anci portentous question of foreign domina tion in the East, but the immediate ef fect of his victory we can all see in the world's recognition of the efficiency and strength cf our new navy, and of the dashing courage and trained skill of its men. MEAT FOR ARMY CATS. Commissary Department Makes Nec essary Arrangements. New York, June 23. The commissary department made arrangements yester day to furnish fresh beef for Weyler, Blanco and the Queen Regent. The specifications read that only good and sound meat is to be furnished, and the bone must be excluded. The meat is net be shipped to Spain and Cuba, for Weyler, Blanco and the Queen Regent are three large and emi nently respectable cats, whose only duty is to keep the large commissary storehouse In the army building free from mice and rats. Cats that are regular employes of the army are kept in Chicago, San Francis. co, and this city, where large quantities of stores are kept. They are fed on the best beef at the government's ex pense. Hundreds of dollars are saved by these animals, who keep the store houses free from mice and rats. The contract for furnishing meat for these cats is awarded once a year. The cats in the army building are allowed a pound a day, and It costs the govern ment five cents a day, or $18.25 a year. An experiment was made by a prom inent commissary officer some years ago with rat terriers, but when he re ported the result of his labor to the commissary general he refused to allow the terriers to take the place of cats.

I had used many remedies without re ceiving much relief, and being recom mended to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, know ing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most grati fying results. The first bottle relieved me very much and the second bottle has absolutely cured me. I have not had as good health for twenty years.

THE OHIOAN'S SPEECH At the Columbus Convention o His Party Excites Anger and Indignation in the Kansan. Washington, June 23. A bill Incor porating the national congress of moth ers was passed by the house yesterday. The conference report upon the bill to ratify the agreement between the Dawes commission and the Seminoles Indians was adopted. Mr. Simpson CPop., Kan.) created something of a diversion by rising to a question of personal privilege. He proceeded to read from a report of Representative Grosvenors speech be fore the Ohio Republican convention In which the Ohio member was reported as having said, after a reference to the opposition to the Republicans In the house having voted in the interest of the "reconcentrados" for the $50,000,000 appropriation that "nine out of every ten of those gentlemen" had voted "no" on every subsequent appropriation bill "for the sufferln4T soldiers" of the Un ion. Mr. Dalzell (Rep., Pa.) made the point that it was not a matter to war rant the Kansas member in raising per sonal privilege, and the speaker, up holding the point made by the Pennsyl vanian remarked with some humor that proceedings in thp house were not In frequently subject for outside comment and that should members insist upon rising in each instance to a question of personal privilege, -the house would have Its time so occupied that "it would te ur.tible to give that calm and delib erate consideration to legislation that is its wont." Then as the speaker hammered hard to bring Mr. Simpson to his seat, the Kansas member persisted and declared: "The assertion as regards the vote of members on this side Is false. Every man on this side has voted for every appropriation bill and no man would have cast the reflection upon a large portion of this house, contained in the speech of the gentleman from Ohio were he not dead to all sense of honor and truthfulness, having In his posses sion the facts with which the gentle man must have been familiar." Several private bills were passed, and the house then went into committee oit the whole to consider District of Col umbia legislation, and at 8:12 p. tn. ad journed. CHAIR UPSIDE DOWN. New York's Wedding Feast But No wedding. New York, June 23. With tearful demonstrations Annie Cohen, a young tailoress appeared before Magistrate Cornell in the Essex Market court and asked him to punish her intended hus band. Abaham Goldstein, a puller-in for a clothing store, for falling to show up at the time and place appointed for their wedding. "We were to be married yesterday afternoon, judge," she said, "and look at my nice wedding dress which cost me $80. Oh, but he's a wretch. The nice supper spoiled, too. Judge." "Tell me all about It," said the magis trate. She declared that she became engag ed to Goldstein about two months ago and the wedding was to have taken place on Monday. On Saturday Gold stein and his sweetheart went to New ark and made all preparations for the wedding. The bride to be, accompanied by a score of her friends, many of whom pur chased new dresses for the occasion .ar rived at Mrs. Davis' house shortly be fore the time set for the ceremony. The raboi was present ready to do his part and the tables were loaded down with the materials for the feast which was to follow. When the time arrived for the marriage service nothing had been seen of Goldstein and he hadn't been heard from. When two hours had elapsed and he had not appeared his sweetheart became nervouc. It got to be 9 o'clock and no Goldstein, and then she fainted. When another hour went by the guests went through the cere mony of consoling Miss Cohen and then sat down to the tables. She sat at the head of one of the tables and sliced up the wedding cake. The chair which was to have been occupied by Goldstein was turned upside down. The guests ate heartily, but Miss Cohen and the bridesmaids cried while the feasting lasted. After the guests departed Miss Cohen went direct to her intended husband s place of business. According to her story, she saw him standing on the sidewalk, but he ran away at her ap proach. She followed him for a short distance, but lost sight of him. "I don't know why he should run away." she said, "except that I was too poor to give him money and have no parents here to do it." Magistrate Cornell declared that he sympathized with her, but advised her to seek a remedy in a civil court. "If I get my hands on him," she said, "it will be a case for this court." Mr. P. Ketcham of Pike City, Cal.. says: "During my brother's late sick ness from sciatic rheumatism. Cham berlain's Pain Ealm was the only rem edy that gave him any relief."

The Commercial Club Gives Its Annual Banquet At Hotel Throop Last Night With Marked Success. NOTABLE GATHERING. Every Business and Profession IV as Represented. Many Good Words Spoken For the Capital City. For the second time in its history the Topeka Commercial club banqueted at the Throop hotel last night It was the occasion of one of the most representative gatherings in To peka's history. Men of every, pro fession and business employment Iden tified with the best interests of the city were in attendance. There were men who helped to make Topeka's past and are helping to make Topeka's pres ent, and young men whose efforts will be interwoven with Topeka's future. For an hour prior to the opening of the banquet members of the club and invited guests chatted together in the parlors of the hotel while Steinberg's orchestra furnished a concert pro gramme. The orchestra preceded the banqueters to the dining room, and as they filed in to take their places at the tables it was to the strains of Sousa's inspiring march, "The Stars and Stripes Forever." The strains of the march were an In troduction to the decorations. The stars and stripes were there, and no matter which way banqueters looked they beheld them. On the four walls of the dining hall were draped immense American Hasrs, and no other colors were visible in the room. The effect was at once patriotic and beautiful. At either side of the hall covers for 114 were laid on two long tables. Palms set at intervals nodded above the white linen in the breezes from electric fans, and bovls of sweet smelling flowers scented the air. Palms were also used im banking the windows and arranged in profusion on the serving table in the center of the room. The banquet was served in six courses and the menu was as follows: Consomme Macedoine, Olives, Iced Cucumbers, Sweetbread Croquettes, Fresh Mushrooms, Fried Soft Shell Crabs, Frog Saddles sauce .Tartare, French Peas, Fried Spring Chicken, supreme. New Creamed Potatoes, Tomato Mayonnaise, Wine Jelly in Forms, Fancy Charlotte Russe, Red Raspberries, Assorted Cake, Neapolitan Ice Cream, Fruit, Coffee, Cigars. As cigars were lighted and chairs push ed back from the tables, Mr. R- S. Brig ham, vice president of the club, rapped for attention. He spoke briefly of the history of the Topeka Commercial club and its achievements as a business organ ization, and In concluding introduced Mr. A. W. Dana, the toastmaster of the even ing. Mr. Dana responded to the Introduction with a short speech. He talked of the war and its effect on business interests, and drew out enthusiasm by patriotic ex pressions. Then, changing his theme, he said that while he had not been notified that he was to act as toastmaster in time to prepare a suitable speech, all the other speakers had received such notice weeks before and had speeches prepared, any statements they might make to the con trary notwithstanding. lie then Intro duced Mr. T. F. Doran to respond to the toast "The Metropolis of Kansas." Mr. Doran opened his response by stat ing that the honorable toastmaster re minded him of a farmer who was think ing of buying a clock. In reciting the good qualities the merchant told the farmer that the clock would run eight days with out winding. 'Gee whiz, is that so?' said the countryman, "I wonder how long the infernal thing would run if it was wound.' If the remarks of the toastmaster were extemporaneous," said Mr. Doran, "I am thankful for my sake and for the sake of those present that he wasn't wound." Mr. Doran's sally at the expense of Mr. Dana was greeted with hearty laughter, as was also a sally from Governor Leedy at the expense of Mr. Doran later in the evening. Mr. Doran. in his response, had considerable to say about the enforcement of law, and Governor Leedy referred to it it by saying: "The gentleman who Just preceded me (Doran) believes in the enforcement of the law. I wonder at this, because I un derstand he is the attorney of an insur ance company, and it was my impres sion that insurance attorneys in Kansas lately were opposed to the enforcement of the law." The banquet lasted into the hours of the Eczema All Over Head and Face. Two Doctors, Ne Benefit. Tried CUTICURA REMEDIES with Rapid Cure. I was troubled several years with cutaneous diseases which developed into chronic Ec zema, which spread all over my head, and down on my face. I took medical treatment from two doctors aael received but little re lief Then I tried several lotions, etc., which we had in the store, but only received little relief from &em. At times, the dreadful itching became almost intolerable. When I was heated, the Eczema became painful, and almost distracted me. 1 was advised to try Cuticuba Remedies and did so, and found them all that is claimed for them. The Ecze ma rapidly disappeared, and I am well, with no trace "of any cutaneous disease. Shall always recommend CnTicrr.A to all. J. EiLMETT KEEVF.S, Feb. 22, '98. Box 125, Thorntown, Ind.

The responses to toasts follow: "The Commercial Club." Mr. R: S. Brigham responded to the toast, "The Topeka Commercial Club." He said: "The Commerical club has passed through the days of its infancy. Organ ized as it was, in this distinctively agri cultural Eection, at a time when the mar kets of the world were glutted with all of the things which earth produces, it is per haps more a matter of wonder that its existence was maintained at all rather than that its accomplishments were not multitudinous. "Since our last annual banquet there have been secured enough in the way of results beneficial to Topeka to justify in the fullest sense Its continued existence and encouragement by the -people of To peka. The membership during this time has been increased from less than 50 to 128. "There are many minor wavs in which the club has been useful to the city, but it is not my purpose to weary you with a detailed statement, but rather to men tion the larger accomplishments with which our efforts have been crowned, in the hope that a resume of this kind may result in engendering greater efforts in the future.' "Among the first of the acquisitions ob tained through this club during this period and the one that is perhaps entitled to first place because of its importance as well as its priority is the Topeka woolen mills, a concern that is today employing eighty hands, has manufactured and sold to the spring trade just passed more than GOO dozen pairs of pants, and has at the present time orders on its books that In sure employment for its entire force for at least four months to come, and this does not take into account the large quan tity of suitings and blankets that the mills have placed upon the market. They have recently purchased 33,000 pounds of Kansas wool and are confining themselves exclusively to the Kansas product. "The trades excursions as inaugurated last fall were an experiment that proved a success and demonstrated the practica bility of more extended work along that line in the future. ."Next in order I will mention the na tional convention of the Creamery Butter makers' association, lield in this city dur ing February last, and to which were gathered delegates from every section, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, men who represented not only their own particular industry, but who were representative men in the localities from which they came, and considered merely from the stand point of an advertisement for Topeka, it will unquestionably prove to have been of much benefit, for we gave them what they pleased to characterize as the best con vention in the history of their association. "The mobilization of three regiments of troops and the continuation of their camp at Topeka for a period covering about a month resulted, it is conservatively esti mated, in the expenditure of between $r0. 000 and $75,000 by people from outside of To peka. This was brought about by prompt action on the part of this club and the hearty co-operation of Governor Leedy. "The selection of Topeka as the meeting place of the Populist state convention was due to the work of this organization, as was also the securing of the state reunion of the Grand Army for next fall. "We have an organization that is con ducted in the interests of no clique or faction: it is not maintained for the pur pose of booming any particular section, but for the good of the entire city; it has upon its membership rolls many of the best and wealthiest business and profes sional men in the city. It is made up of the young men as well as the old, combin ing the mature experience of the older with the energy and vigor of the more youthful ones, and concentrated and per sistent effort on our part cannot result in other than great good to Topeka." Topeka's Fall Festival. In response to the toast "Topeka's Fall Festivals," Major Anderson said: "The Topeka Fall Festival originated In the fertile brain of a misguided but well meaning citizen who was anxious to dis pel the illusion so prevalent throughout the state, and especially at Wichita, that Topeka was a 'hog town.' He proposed to entertain the good people of Kansas as they had never been entertained before and at the same time get even writh a baker's dozen of good fellows who are al ways willing to work for Topeka and get cussed for it. He: knew that a lot of Mound Builders in Topeka would stand around with their hands in their pockets and say 'I told you so.' if the festival proved a failure, and rob the aforesaid good fellows of any honors that might be due them if the result of their disin terested labors in behalf of the city if it proved successful. "The festival of 1896 was promoted by a committee of citizens known as the 'Com mittee of 15.' The festiVal of 1S97 by the committee of 15 and an auxiliary organiza tion known as the committee of 17. The amount of labor performed by the Com mittee of 15 during the past two years has been enormous and will never be appre ciated by those not in position to know of their trials and tribulations. The com mittee of 17 took care of the refreshment portion of the programme and at the-close of the festival submitted their findings to a jury of 12 men in the district court. "The character of the entertainments has been far beyond what might have been expected from a city even two or three times as large as Topeka. The citi zens of our own state, who knew of our resources, had reason to expect something unusual, but to the visitors from the ef fete east our entertainments have been simply marvelous. Compared with the industrial parade by the employes of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway last year, the trades display made in the city of Chicago at the dedication of the World's fair buildings in 1S92 was a very ordinary affair. The drills and military maneu vers by the troops of the regular army were a source of pleasure and gratifica tion to the errown people and a lesson in patriotism never to be forgotten by the children. The officers and men of both commands are now on Cuban soil uphold ing 01a glory. "A prominent real estate man says that Topeka's prosperity dated from A'pril 20. ISM, when a telegram from Beloit an nounced that Topeka had secured the state G. A. R, reunion. New buildings began to go up. residences were painted, papered and renovated: flowers planted, yards cleaned up and fences repaired, po litical and otherwise: street paving re paired, sidewalks rebuilt. The state house grounds, which for 30 years had been a stone quarry and forest of derricks, were graded and beautified. Windows were put in the state capitol. and an elevator that never runs. The court house was hurried to completion and jimson weed planted on the terrace. The contract was let for the finest bridge in America. Hundreds of men found the work they so much. needed, and when the week opened everything came our way. "There is not a man. woman or child in the city of Topeka who is not better off for having seen and taken part in our two great Fall Festivals." The Future of.Topeka. "The Future of Topeka" was discussed by Mr. James A. Troutman. He said: "The topic assigned me by your commit tee implies a prophetic instinct which I earnestly disclaim. But some general pre liminary observations will indicate what the coming years may have in store for us. We stand upon a chronological 'di vide.' bewildered at the accomplishments of the past, amazed at the absorbing is sues of the future. There will probably be nothing phenomenal about Topeka's fu ture growth, but if we get our share of the nation's nntural increase, there are young men at this banquet table tonight who will see here a city of a hundred thousand people. "Aristotle said the first step in any prof itable investigation is to ask the right question. Two questions occur to me to be germane to my subject. "First How can we secure a fair pro portion of the desirable immigrants? Sec ond How should our city be controlled so that the maximum of good and the mini mum of exil may be realized? The same answer will fit both questions. "The first inquiry made by a merchant, manufacturer or speculator who is seek ing a field for remunerative investments, is concerning the tax rate. The primary consideration of every municipality should be to secure the lowest schedule of taxa tion consistent with good government. Without burdening this address with sta tistical minutiae, permit me to place a few figures in significant contrast. The an nual per capita cost of maintaining ten of our cnier cities is as ioiows: New York $24.53 $13.8) S2.63 14 02 23.41 8.15 39.07 9.27 21.59 Chicago Boston Baltimore Buffalo New Orleans St. Paul Indianapolis Los Angeles Des Moines 7.?8 Topeka 6.06 "No explanation in harmony with sound business management can be offered for these wide discrepancies. "Add to the expenditure of Topeka the Interest paid on paving and sewer bonds and the annual special tax for these im provements, and the per capita cost is only $10.86, which is far below the average of American cities. During the past 11 years Topeka has paid for special im provements, including interest, $1.6-i7,956.51, and the total indebtedness for this pur pose remaining is only $141,399.51. The money that we have been sending abroad will hereafter be kept moving through the channels of trade and commerce in our own midst. The bonded indebtedness of Topeka for general purposes is now only $U36,500. and the last outstanding bond will mature September 15, 1915. "The Topeka of today has better streets, finer buildings and smaller debts than any western city of similar size. The Topeka of the future will continue the auspicious development of her commercial interests and will present to the world a city in which there is a greater diffusion of gen eral education and a smaller percentage of Illiteracy and crime than any other or ganized community upon the face of the globe. "In the formative years of a city, bonds may be necessary, but the Topeka of the future should be a bond-paying and not a bond making city. September 15, 1915, should witness a clean balance sheet upon our municipal ledger. Then we can say, 'Here is a city of 50,000 population that doesn't owe a dollar,' and we will offer a wonderful incentive to investors and will attract the very cream of western civiliza tion." "As We See Ourselves." To the toast "As We See Ourselves," Mr. Tom McNeal, associate editor of the Mail and Breeze, replied in his characteristic style. He said: "I am informed by the committee on toasts that I am expected to act in a col lective capacity on this occasion and pre sent to the attention of the assembled g-uests the view that we take of ourselves as a whole. To one who has spent the greater part of his earthly pilgrimage in quiet pastoral pursuits or in a short grass village where the sound of the coyote's bark may be heard at eventide, howling even as his ancestors have howled for .0 centuries, and where but a few brief years ago the children of the prairie held their annual banquets and tilled their interiors with land terrapin and boiled dog, this thing of imagining himself a composite representative of 40,000 people of all ages, sexes, complexions and previous condi tions of servitude, is no easy task. I feel, indeed, that when I attempt in my feeble, way to present a picture of Topeka as she appears to herself, reflected in the French plate mirror of inspection, I feel that I have separated considerably more with my incisors than I am able to properly masticate with my intellectual molars. "A detailed account of the features and charms of Topeka as they present them selves to the mind's eye of the loyal citi zen who resides within her borders, woilld of course occupy more time than it would be possible to allot to any one speaker, in view of the fact that everyone present has other business that will occupy his attention between now and the ides of November. Some of the guests of this occasion, for example, will be obliged to engage in a campaign for the purpose of showing the plain, common people, who will furnish the votes, that the eyes of the world are focused on Kansas waiting to see who will be chosen to issue notary public commissions during the coming bi ennial period a campaign, gentlemen, w7hich the governor on another occasion has well said will be no Sunday school picnic excursion. I am compelled, there fore, to confine myself to a few salient facts which I will endeavor to present with that charming frankness and mod esty which is at once the most noticeable and remarkable feature of Topeka char acter. "The prime object of the Commercial club is to detail the advantages of the city as a place of residence and business. If a sensible individual is looking for a place to reside, he inquires as to the sani tary conditions and then to its social, ed ucational and business advantages. I am here not only to give the picture as we see it ourselves, but to cite a few facts to establish the correctness of our vision. "On this festal occasion, when joy is supposed to be unconfined, I do not, speak ing for Topeka, propose to intrude an ex tended array of ligures, though they' would clearly establish our contention that To peka is astonishing for the average lon gevity of her citizens and her low record of mortality. Pestilence has never stalked within her borders, and the microbe of miasma is rarely found doing business even in the lower levels of Smoky Row. No sky-scraping buildings shut out the sunlight of the Almighty, and it is not necessary to unbutton your collar to breath on her broad avenues. Unless the citizen of Topeka is afflicted with some constitutional ailment when he strikes the town he is almost certain to live to a phe nomenal age. The records of the pro bate court show that at the ripe age of 106 a citizen of Topeka embarked on the matrimonial sea. In other localities an occasional individual weathers the storms of four score winters, but he is a wreck tottering about on withered shanks and mumbling with toothless gums of mem ories of the past. In Topeka, however, at the ripe and discreet age of 106, his heart turns lightly to thoughts of love and the task of rearing an intelligent pos terity. "So far as society and culture are con cerned, a restraining modesty prevents the citizen of Topeka from speaking as he knows the facts will warrant. I can give an illustration which shows in a feeble way the true condition of affairs in thi3 respect. A worthy citizen of this mu nicipality had been called from the toils of life to the joys of eternity and applied to the keeper of the heavenly gate for ad mission. 'Ah,' said Saint Peter, as he glanced at the card of the newcomer, 'coming from Topeka, you of course need no certificate of character, but I regret to say that you may not rind society quite up to the standard to which you have been accustomed. We are endeavoring, how ever, to establish a Stedman club in the New Jerusalem, and if there was some way of securing from one of your physi cians, whose name has just now escaped me, a book of original poems, the thing would be a go.' "In a business way we are conservative until we are satisfied a thing is the right 1 thing to do. but when once satisfied we rush forward witn tne impetuous speea or a glacier. For example, years ago we became satisfied that the Kaw should be dammed in order that the tremendous power of its current might be utilized in turning the spindles of trade. The man ner in which the enterprise has been crowded to completion shows that we brook no opposition and yield to no ob stacles. Later on we determined to build an auditorium. The determination arose from an expressed objection on the part of many persons who came here to attend conventions, to being stewed prior to the expiration of their earthly pilgrimage. Once determined upon, the movement has proceeded steadily toward its accompfish ment. Auditorium has been a household word in this city. Persons of middle age can recollect how they talked that word in their early childhood and wondered j what it meant. The word auditorium has i been handed down from father to son. and. so help us. we promise that it shall be handed down, if necessary, unto the third and fourth generations. "I have not time to speak of the busi ness enterprises of which we are proud: in fat t they are beginning to speak for them selves. Topeka flour has crossed the con tinent and has a reputation from the Golden Gate to the bean swept precincts of Massachusetts' capital. Topeka pack ing house products are today the best in 1 tne market, ana the time is coming wTnen Topeka canned goods will find their way to the furthermost isles of the sea. "Finally. I must say that a proof of our advantages is found in the fact that our population is so largely made up of great men. I do not refer to the abund ance of masterly genius which daily con gregates in front of the bulletin boards of the city and frankly and fully state the manner in which the war should be con ducted on land and sea. but I do refer to the large number of men of high official positions who have made and are making this their abiding place. They have been sent here to occupy places of trust and power and, becoming enamored of the city, have staid. Tou could not go out on the street today and cast a rock at an untaxed canine without running a serious risk of injuring a statesman. If a wild cowboy from the plains were to ride down Kansas avenue and throw a rope at random, the chances are that the noose wTould settle down over the dome of thought of an ex governor or former state official. This is not a mere happen so. It is because once having located and fertilized their lungs with the composite dust which is lifted by the playful wind from Kansas avenue, they can never leave. Once having tasted the sweets of Topeka, they are as loath to depart as were the followers of Xenophon in the valley where grew the lotus tree. "As intimated in the beginning. I do not feel that I have either the time or the art istic capacity to draw a picture of our selves as we see ourselves. The meager outline which I have drawn must be filled by your fertile Imaginations. I am more than willing.however.to leave it that way, knowing that the imagination of a Kan sas man is rarely appealed to in vain." "The Past of Topeka." To Mr. P. I. Bonebrake was assigned the task of picturing "The Past of To peka." In his response he said: "To me has been assigned the priv ilege of saying something about the Past of Topeka." I am not highly pleased with this duty, as the subject deals in reminiscences. It is said that when a man takes to reminiscences, it Is evidence that he is growing old. Not withstanding, I have lived in Topeka for thirty years, I want it understood that I am not a day older all due to the ozone in the Kansas atmosphere and the healthy location of Topeka. 'Topeka was founded on the 5th day of December, 1854. Its founders were C. K. Kolliday, F. W. Giles, Daniel H. Home, George Davis, Enoch Chase, J. B. Chase, M. C. Dickey, C. Robinson and L. G. Cleveland. All have passed away but C. K. Holliday. The last to go was Frye W. Giles.who lived an hon orable citizen from the birth of the town unto the day of his death nearly forty-four years. Peace to the ashes of the dead, and long life and prosperity to Colonel C. K. Holliday. "Nearly forty-four years have elapsed since those hardy pioneers selected the si'e for Topeka. Then It was a beauti ful undulating landscape, covered in summer with grass and flowers, virgin soil upon which the foot of a white man had hardly trod. Today it is covered with palatial homes, business blocks, churches, schools and everything that goes to make life happy. "Topeka today has a population of 35,000, (not including most of the addi tions), and ninety-five per cent of whom are American born. It has a taxable wealth of twenty-eight millions of dol lars and a debt of only $336,500 less than 2 per cent. "An evidence of the educational at tainments of our people is shown in the fact that of a full regiment of men sent from here to the present war, every one was able to sign the muster roll in his own handwriting. "Topeka has sixty-seven churches. As Joe Waters said, 'the prevailing re ligion is a good square orthodoxy with brimstone in the fireworks." "Topeka is a temperance city. There are no open saloons. Public drinking is under a ban; and when a man pre tending to respectability enters a joint found in some basement he looks up and down the street to see that none of his friends recognize him. "To sum up, Topeka has seven points of railroad connection with the outside world and is satisfied with the liberal manner in which the railroads are man aged. The several railroads in their shops, offices and train crews give em ployment to 2,887 Topeka citizens, dis bursing in wages about $2,000,000 per annum. Suppose each employe, repre sents a family of three persons; we have an aggregate of 7,761 persons maintained in whole or in part by the railroads centering in Topeka. "A list of the clubs of Topeka would fill a. column of a newspaper. "We have clubs, religious, education al, historical, social, financial, athletic, literary, political, in fact a club repre senting almost everything under the sun. "We have a preacher's club that meets every Monday morning and un der present official management; poker club3 that meet every night of the week. "The most persuasive club is the po liceman's club; the most useful, the Commercial club. This club is com posed of some of the best business men of the city, who are industriously work ing for its advancement. It should number 500 members instead of 50. "We have 42 newspapers and peri odicals representing every live issue of the day. Two good daily papers. Late ly the daily papers (not ours), have added a new feature to their business, towit: Manufacturing. They must have news. When they have none that is genuine, they manufacture news to fit the case. "Topeka has a number of libraries. We point with pride to the public free library with its beautiful building and its 20,000 volumes open to the rich and the poor alike. A monument to the public spirit of our citizens and friends of Kansas in the east. "Our pecfle are happy. They are all like the man in the oft told story: When asked by the preacher if he wanted to go to heaven, he answered, 'No.' When asked if he wanted to go to the other place, he answered, 'No.' When asked where he did want to go, he said, 'I am satisfied to stay here." So with our people. They are perfectly satisfied right here." "The Metropolis of Kansas." In replying to the toast. "The me tropolis of Kansas," Mr. T. F. Doran said: "There is an old adage which says: 'God made the country and man made the town." We will admit that God did a pretty fair job when he made the beautiful and fertile fields of Kan sas, but in all fairness the Creator must concede that He had to do a pret ty good job or the men who made To peka would have excelled His handi work. Even as it is I have heard it suggested that there is close competi tion for first place "The only walls or confines of our great metropolis are the grey horizon and the blue dome of heaven. In boom days we passed these boundaries and were only stopped when the dome of the capitol pierced the dog star and by the day of judgment at Chicago Heights. "Of course there are other towns in the state which rank fairly well. Kan sas City is a good town, but there are too many factories, too much smoke and noise, too many people and then it smells like a packing Mouse. Atchi son was a good town until John Seaton was defeated. It is now a memory a thing of the past a deserted village. Leavenworth has the odor of beer. Its streets are dirty and the pillowcases at its hotels look as though they had been used as targets for shotgun prac tice. Lawrence is a city of culture and wealth, but its streets.in rainy weather, are too thin for agricultural purposes and too thick for boarding house soup. Wichita is nice but it is naughty, and Fort Scott is so dry they have to prime their pumps to get a drink of well wa ter. "But after all, cities are great only as men make them. We may boast great emporiums of trade, marble pal aces, gilded walks and luxuriant gar dens, but if there be not behind these a pure and lofty minded people a people endowed with superior intelligence, great virtue and sobriety the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah is sure to fol low. "In all these qualities our metropolis acknowledges no superior, except Pot win, whose citizens can give St. Peter points on how to run heaven. "For the past few years our city has been hampered and thrown into turmoil and confusion by the rebelious prohibi tion question and by an unjust inter ference of the state legislature in our local government by which there was saddled upon us the most incompetent I will guarantee that my Rheumatism Jure will relieve lum- H CV 111 V H 1 rucuuiauc jmius two or three bourn, and cure in a few: days.

But through the action of a party seek ing power we have been restored to our rights and on July first a Republican form of government will be established, in Topeka. Under the guidance of our most competent mayor and council there will be no more beer riots and no prohibition question. "The mayor has already spoken. His word3 are as plain and convincing as were the projectiles from Dewey's guns in Manila bay. There will be a reign, of law and no license to commit crime. If a law is not good the people should lock to the legislature to repeal it. and not to officers to wink at its violation. W ith this and all laws enforced we can pursue our way In peace and go on building a great and beautiful city. There must be no factions and dissen sions but all must strive to secure tha most faithful and honest governing boards and city officers; to as far as possible divorce national and state par tisan politics from our municipal af fairs; and to keep our city government under the direct control of our sov ereign inhabitants. Thi3 done all de pends upon the energy and patriotism of our business men whether Topeka wili be a city or a country village. "The metropolis of Kansas God bless her she is the fairest lily of the plains. May she grow as grows the tasseling corn and blossom as the rose." "Kansas as a Soldier Stale." To Governor Leedy was given the assignment of speaking of '"Kansas as a Soldier State." He spoke extem poraneously and his subject gave him ample opportunity for patriotic ex pressions, which were heartily ap plauded. In part he said: "The toast assigned me tonight would be much better in the hands of some one who was in Kansas during the sol dier days of the state. Unfortunately for me I was not then a Kansan. But I heard of Kansas at that time as the people of every state in the union heard of her, and there was much in the re ports to make the lovers of freedom and justice feel proud. Kansas is a. soldier state by virtue of having raised seventeen regiments of volunteers to go into the civil war, a contribution to the union army larger in proportion to the pi pulation of the state at that time than any other state in the union. The honorable toastmaster, in his remarks here tonight, said that we are a peo ple of peace in this state, but I want to say to you gentlemen that we are ready at any time to fight to secure it.

It seems improbable that Dewey can prevent that surrender much, longer. Perhaps Spain's reason for keeping Hobson Is that she thinks we have no more like htm. Shifter's army should be provided with brooms so as to sweep up after the Vesuvius gets through. If the army for the Philippines does not get away soon their votes are likely to be classed as "floating."

It la safe to say that Blanco is not making any fuss about exorbitant coal rates. Coal at any price is about his size. The absence of war news and the fact that it was Kansas day brought the Omaha exposition into prominence yesterday. The house seems desirous of having the grade of lieutenant general ready by the time somebody does something to deserve it. While awaiting the distribution of the new bonds J. Pierpont Morgan has found time to pick up a few railroads in the outlying districts. There is an urgent demand that "Fighting Bob" Evans begin his task of changing the language of that region which can not be mentioned; in this kind of weather. The tardiness displayed In supplying clothes to the army may have been caused by the expectation that they would soon go to countries where gar ments are not needed. The number of the people who appear at the banks with savings which they desire to invest in three per cent bonds is another strong argument in favor of postal savings banks. It now appears that the sailing of the Cadiz fleet was merely designed to attract attention in that direction while a ship load of provisions was being landed for Blanco in Cuba. New Tork Press: Twelve girl friends of the bride at a Kansas wedding sup plied the music by whistling the wed ding march. And nobody, we are pleased to add, was rude enough to re mark about crowing hens. The senate committee on the Nicara gua canal has agreed on a bill for the construction of that work. It is pro posed that the canal be built, not by the Maritime Canal company, which has the concession from the Nicaraguan government, but by the United States itself. All the stock of the company is to be held by the American government and by those of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Provision is made for the pay ment of five million dollars to the pres ent stockholders for the work already done. EX-RAYS.

His ser mons are of good roasting length, and he is regarded as a most satisfactory minister for this reason.

Arkansas City Traveler: If it wasn't for the threatening clouds, there are lots of men who would never look toward heaven. Emporia Republican: The archbishop of Manila says that he has received a message from heaven promising the Spaniards a glorious victory.

A doctor who really believes In the efficacy of medicine, is dangerous Remember that people are not as anxious) for visitors as they pretend. 1 About the only thins to be said of a man's linen suit Is that it looks cool. No loyal church woman ever hears a preacher who is quite so good as her own. i Two gossips never get together that they do not long to talk about each other. When a beer saloon is not taken care of, it soon smells as bad as a dirty gro cery store. When a man kisses a girl against her will, he doesn't get anything worth fighting for. People are beginning to admit that many men are looking for work who do not want it. While we admire a girl wearing a white dress and blue Bash, the dress and sash should be clean. Nearly all the men have quit drink ing. Only a few foolish boys have the drink habit of late years. Women always own from one to a dozen cook books, but they continue to cook things the same old way. I When a woman gives a party ana doesn't invite the neighbors.it indicates that she can get along without borrow ing. After a man has cut the crash towels off the bottom of his pantaloons for two or three years, the pantaloons be come so thin as to be immodest. i When a man has had a clerk as long as ten years, he begins to hear that he would be a poor man if it were not for the clerk's management of his affairs. Should a poor man inherit a million today, his wife and daughters by to morrow night will have acquired an air of having been rich ail their lives. PEOPLE YOTJ HEAR OF. Professor William Libbey of Prince ton university will lead a scientific ex pedition to Hawaii this year. He hopes to visit and explore the burial caves of the Hawaiian king3 of long ago. So far as known no white man has ever ex plored them or gained even a good general idea regarding them. While Representative Grosvenor was making his speech on annexation he in variably pronounced Hawaii as if it were "Highway." 'r- On a recent occasion affairs of state followed Mr. Faure, president of the French republic, into his bath tub. A secretary arrived while Mr. Faure was enjoying his tub. The president was exasperated.but a servant said the sec retary had come on urgent business. "Then admit him," said Mr. Faure tragically; "admit Charlotte worday." The president of Oberlin college.when asked by a student If he could not take a shorter course, replied: "Oh, yes: but that depenus upon what you want to make of yourself. When God wants to make an oak he takes a hundred years, but when he wants a squash he takes six months." Here Is a late pen picture of Edison, the electrician: "A gray-haired man with a boy's face, round, rubicund, beardless, rarely anrippled by a smile; sturdy of figure, with a 7 hat pressed down on a broad forehead, with cloth ing loosely fitting, baggy, an appear ance about it, not of age, but of never having been new; with a scant necktie and an uncovered expanse of shirt front liberally besprinkled with tobacco Juice." The friends of the late William Ter riss, the English actor, have decided not to erect a monument, but to main tain a lifeboat at Ramsgate or Margate Terriss' favorite seaside resorts. Professor Agasslz of Harvard, who has again arrived in this country after an absence in the south seas, spent in studying the formation of the coral isl ands, is said to be now prepared to demonstrate, in opposition to the theo ries of Darwin and Dana, that the coral islands are not built up from the bot tom, but are formed by a comparative ly thin crust or coral upon tops of sub merged mountains at points where the ocean is comparatively shallow. Spencer Pratt, the American consul at Singapore, who has been brought into prominence by assuring the Phil ippine insurgents independence, was madly in love with Amelie Rives before her first marriage. He nursed the Vir ginia writer through a long illness, but Miss Rives still declined to marry him and he departed. His friends say he has remained faithful for bis passion for Miss Rives In the face of her two marriages and one divorce. Herbert B. Seeley of Seeley dinner notoriety has been sued by Simon Goetschel of Paris for 16.000 francs. In his answer Mr. Seeley alleged that the supposed indebtedness arose out of a gambling transaction, a game of bac carat for stakes upon credit. The case is pending in the United States court. It Is .reported that Rudyard Kipling has become a great admirer of Cecil Rhodes. During his recent stay in Lon don Mr. Kipling was asked by a woman at dinner if Mr. Rhodes was married. -Yes," he replied, "to tens of thousands of square miles of British territory, square miles of British territory. Eng England cannot afford to let a man like that marry in any other way." COLOR LINE DRAWN. Negroes Only Admitted to a Kentucky School. NIcholasvUle, Ky., June 23. The fam ous schools for both races and sexes at Berea and Ariol will cease to receive both races. The Christian church has bought the school at Ariol, and the sale only remains to be ratified by the board of education In Louisville. The college will in future be strictly a negro school. Berea will hereafter take only white pupils, poor mountain boys, from Ken tucky and Virginia to be educated there for the ministry. Shortly after the war, northern capi talists, headed by John G Fee, of Boston, interested themselves in this movement, and Berea,in Madison coun ty was established. For a long time the school was kept up by these north ern capitalists, but some years after they abandoned the plan and Fee alone was left to conduct the school. Fee has since conducted the college by the use of his individual funds, and many preachers and professors of both races have graduated at that place. Fee bought lands to sell to negroes. He was active in educational, church and temperance work. Many disting uished men came and wrote about Berea. Judge Beckner, of Winchester, took to the movement and made a lengthy defense of it in the public prints. The Gilders of the Century Magazine, and George W. Cable, the novelist, visited Berea and wrote of it and its work. The white women and white men who went there were seldom Kentuckians. Preacher John G. Fee a year ago left the Congregationalist for the Christian church and sold Ariol to that organisation. CUBANS' WANT TO FIGHT. Exiles in Costa Rica Offer to Enlist with America. Washington, June 23. There are 250 exiled Cubans in Costa Rica who are anxious to go to the front as United States volunteers. Information to this effect was received in Washington to day by the Cuban junta. A political and social organization, known as the Cuban-American club, has been form ed at San Jose, Costa Rica, to further the project, and in opposition to the Spanish club, which Is making strenu ous efforts to raise funds and secure recruits among the Spenish residents of Central America to go to Cuoa and fight against the United States. Meet ings have been held by the Spaniards, and a considerable sum has been sub scribed to be forwarded to Madrid for the aid of Spain. There is much bitterness between the Spanish and the Cuban-American or ganizations, and trouble ftas been nar rowly averted upon several occasions between Individual members and par ties of the rival clubs. The authorities have in one or two instances been call ed upon to subdue outbreaks and dis turbances and the trouble is looked for at almost any time. Conditions have reached such a state that the minis ter of teh interior of Costa Rica has notified both organizations that arrests will immediately follow any hostile demonstrations, and warning them to avoid disorderly manifestations. The Cuban-American club, which has among its members all the wealthy cit izens of the United States and Cubans resident of San Jose, has leased a line house, where it holds its meetings end discusses the war with Spain and Cu ban independence. William I.. Merry, the United States minister, has been elected honorary president of the or ganization, and Dr. E. Borrero, honor ary vice president. The latter is a wealthy Cuban, who is exiled from Cuba for an alleged conspiracy against the governor general of Cuba a number of years ago. The active officers are: President, J. W. Field; vice president, S. Chamberlain these two being the most prominent Americans in Costa Rica; recording secretary. F. Mllenes; corresponding secretary, Senor D. Cha vez; treasurer.

The jury in the case of Betsy Smith, who was on trial for the second time for the murder of her blind husband, Michael Smith, returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed the penalty 8t imprisonment in the penitentiary for life. Mrs. Smith, who had maintained stolid composure during the trial, shrieked on hearing the verdict and fell fainting in the arms of her daugh ter, Mrs. Chapin. Michael Smith was an engineer on the Rock Island. He was shot in his room early in 1S93 and blinded. He died in April 23, 1894, and the testimony show ed he was poisoned. Mrs. Smith was arrested for the murder, tried, convict ed and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Later her daughter Cora was ar rested at Omaha for complicity in the crime. She made a confession, in which she exonerated her mother, and claimed that she and Mrs. Scoville com mitted the crime." She was sentenceJ to the penitentiary for life. Betsy Smith secured a new trial and Cora re told her story in court, but the Jury did -not believe her, and Mrs. Smith was convicted a second time. The object of the murder was to secure $3,000 in surance on Smith's life in the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers. Mrs. Scoville, who was connected with the murder by Cora's confession, lives in Salt Lake City. She will not be pros ecuted, as evidence to convict does not exist. CYLIST WITH A JAG. Chicago Man Left to Sober TJp With. His Wheel Upon His Breast. Chicago, June 23. Crowds In Garfield park saw a cyclist run amuck. His weapon was his wheel. The disasters attendant upon his reckless dash were not numerous nor serious, but this was due to all-round good luck.for the spec tators looked for broken limbs or death for himself and many in his path. He was not merely intoxicated, he was frenzied also, and his inebriety tended to shape his course in letter S's. He Invaded the main patch through the park when the afternoon thronsrs were In great array. The drunken wheelman darted around the fountain at high speed, and plunged Into the crowd Men yelled to him to stop as he swerved dangerously close to a horse's head. He escaped Injury, but the next mo ment struck a young woman's wheel. She fell in a heap, with her bicycl" on top of her, but the cause of her mishap held his seat and kept on. Shouts of "Brute!" followed him and were ringing In bis ears as he knocked over a bearded cyclist who was hugging the proper side of the road. Again the cause of trouble was not feazed, and flew off at a tangent, grazing the hinl wheels of a buggy, and then colliding with a man, who did not know what had struck him until he picked himself out of a bush. The storm of anger gathering against the offending wheelmen then burst. Half a dozen young fellows arose from the lawn and scorched along the gravel in pursuit. The leader overtook the in ebriate just as he came into head-end collision with a tandem, and collapsed. He was guarded for two hours, and his incoherent requests to be allowed to continue his ride were denied. When he finally fell asleep the young men. placed his wheel upon his chest and left him to sober up. MISS BRADLEY HONORED. Extolled For Christening a Ship with Water. Frankfort, Ky., June 23. The W.

A parallel well was dug and tunnel ing done. But the sand continued to cave in about the body, and his friends were unable to recover it. He was in this frightful position 58 hours, before being crushed to death. After death his friends attempted to remove the body by attaching a rope and pulling it out. The rope broke and they were un successful. It was finally decided to make the well his tomb. The news of the sad living burial had been spread all over the county, and people from all portions gathered to as sist in rescuing him.

A south side man and wife named an hour-old baby the other day just to accommodate Deputy City Assessor A. Graff. Mr. Graff called at the front door to take the census and whispered tones from within bade him go to the back door. A boy baby had been born there about an hour ago. It was necessary for the assessor to have his name, but he hadn't yet been named. Mr. Graff suggested that they call him Dewey or Sampson or something, in or der to get his name on the census re turns. The man went in to confer with his wife and in a moment returned and announced that they had, for the ac commodation of the assessor, christened the child "Harrison Dewey," and his name so appears on the record.

In so Doing Mrs. W. W. Hays Be comes a Cripple for Life. Neodesha, June 23. Mrs. W.W. Hays, wife- of W. W. Hays, was the victim of a very painful accident Tuesday morn ing. When Mr. Hays hitched to the load of corn to feed the cattle Mrs. Hays took her babe and accompanied hiia. She sat on the spring seat and when he reached the troughs, he tied the lines to the brake, as waa his cus tom, and began throwing the corn out of the rear of the box. Mrs. Hays hoisted her parasol which frightened the horses and they started to run. Mr. Hays attempted to reach the lines but was thrown out and knocked senseless. As the horses turned, Mrs. Hays was also thrown out but with true devotion of a mother so shielded her babe that it was uninjured. The upper portion of her hip bone was broken and also the thigh bone at the joint. Their children hastened to their relief and Dr. Allen was called and reduced the fracture as well as possible but Mrs. Hays will probably be a cripple for life. BUNCOED THE COUNTY". Kansas Men Sell Cat Scalps for Those of Wolves. Hiawatha, June 23. For a number of years John and Joe Burnle, living near Falls City, Neb., have been making good money by collecting bounty on wolf scalps. One day last week they brought in enough scalps to pay thera Jgl. The county clerk doubted that wolves were so plentiful and making a close examination, discovered that the young men had doctored cat scalps in suc'a a way that only the closest ex amination proved they were not wolf scalps. They had made money by their scheme for years. They were arrested, but could not be held owing to a flaw in their papers. WORK IN A CEMETERY. Harvest Hands Waiting for Wheat to. Ripen. South Haven, June 23. The Ladies' Cemetery association has taken advan tage of the early rush of harvest hands to this section to have the cemetery fixed up. The men have come in a little too early for harvest and some of them have signified a willingness to wcrk at very reasonable wages until harvesting begins. The grounds are being mowed and cleaned up and the old sunken graves filled. It would sur prise this community to know the num ber of graves that have been discover ed which had been entirely lost sight of, and also the number of sunken and neglected graves that have been filled up and cared for. FITZ LEE TWO STEP." Leavenworth Dancing Club Receives a Letter From the Brigadier. Leavenworth, June 23. The Adelphia club is a social organization among the young business men of this city. It has been the custom of the club to give monthly dances, and at one of them, given while General Fitzhugh. Lee was the leading hero before the country, the boys honored one of their dances with the general's name. A program was sent to General Lee, and now the club is In receipt of a let ter thanking them for the courtesy. It Is written on consulate paper bearing the "Habana, Cuba" letter bead; and is as follows: "904 Park Ave., Richmond, Va., June 17, 1898. "Mr. Jerry Lyon, President of the Adel phia Club, Leavenworth, Kan. "Dear Sir: I write to thank you for your kind letter. Please convey to your club my appreciation of the com pliment paid me by the selection of my name for one of the waltzes on the club program at their recent party. "I value highly the expressions of patriotism and personal regard con tained In your letter. The country can depend upon the Americanism of its young men. Very truly yours, "FITZHUGH LEE." SAVED BY HIS COLLAR. Wichita Burglar Fails to Kill His In tended Victim. Wichita, June 23. A bold robbery In this city came near resulting In a mur der, and H. A. Bissell lies at his home with a number of ugly knife wounds in his breast and shoulders. The man who did this terrible deed is Clinton Church. H. A. Bissell Is nearly 50 years of age and runs a butcher shop. He and his family reside in rooms in the rear of the butcher shop, and about 3 o'clock this morning Mr. Bissell awoke and asked his wife if she did not hear something. Mr. Bissell had lain down with hi3 un derclothes and shirt and collar on, and he slipped out of bed and out the back door and went around to the front of the butcher shop. When he reached the front he discov ered that a glass was broken out and a man on the inside had just struck a match. Mr. Bissell went to the bro ken window, when the burglar struck him with a piece of bacon and slipped out. Bissell was stunned, but he grap pled with the burglar and a terrible scuffle ensued." The burglar had a knife in his hand, fighting for freedom, and Bissell was fighting for his life. Mr. Bissell felt the knife several times penetrate his shoulder and breast, and one terrible blow would have severed his jugular vein if it had not been for the protection afforded by his thickly starched turndown collar and band. The sharp blade went through them all and made a slight wound in the neck. Bissell held on until he threw the burg lar to the ground, and he then held his hands until Mrs. Bissell ran out and succeeded In getting the knife from the burglar's firm grasp. By this time Of ficer Haslett, who heard the disturb ance, rushed to the scene of conflict and arrested Church and lodged him in the city prison. EVADE WAR REVENUES. Leavenworth Bank Adopts Methods of the Civil War. Leavenworth, June 23. E. A. Kelly, cashier of the Union Savings bank, said today that on and after July 1 the New England system would be adopted in the Union Savings bank, by which de positors wishing to draw small sums could sign a book instead of making a check as is now done. This will save the expenditure of 2 cents revenue on each check. The system was in use In New Eng land savings banks during the war of the rebellion, and so got its name. PRAY FOR RAIN TO STOP. Wellington Man Tells of the Newest of All Kansas Incidents. Wellington, June 23. The Conway Springs people are certainly progressive in religious affairs If nothing else. A certain Wellingtonian was up there and he reports that the good people of that city had had handbills printed and distributed over the town and sur rounding country, announcing that a meeting would be held in the First Presbyterian church there to pray for it to cease raining until after harvest. The good people of Conway might have claimed that this present period of dry weather was the result of their prayers, had it not set in before their prayers were uttered. We presume perhaps too much, however, that, if this "dry spell continues too long, it will be nec essary to advertise another meeting to pray tor ram. BETWEEN HOT ROLLERS. Junction City Laundry Girl Has Her Arm Crushed. Junction City, June 23. Miss Maggie iTitchard, of the Park System laundry, while working at a big iron roller, in some manner got her hand too far under the guard, and the rollers Hrew it in about half the length of the hand. The roller was hot. and where it touched the hand every bit of skin came off. It was impossible to tell Just how badly the fingers and knuckles are injured, and this will probably not be known for a day or two. At best it will be a pain ful accident and the hand will doubt less be permanently injured to some ex tent. WHY KANSANS ARE SICK. Congressman Botkin's 16 Year Old Son a Bugler at Camp Alger. Washington, June 23. The Twenty second Kansas is well located at Camp Alger. Quite a number of the men are reported sick. The water Is not the best. The hospital arrangements are being criticised severely. Our Kansas regiment could properly care for its sick if permitted to maintain a regi mental hospital.but that has been abol ished and the men are forced into the division hospital. Red tape seems to be the food and drink and medicine of the sick. Some dude physician with a theory had a political pull and is in charge of affairs. What is needed is a physician with horse sense and ample experience. On the whole, however, the boys are doing well. The officers are proving to be efficient and popular. The regiment drills five hours per day, which is hard work this hot weather, and may be one of the causes of a large sick list. Congressman Botkin, who has been on the sick list for about two weeks, visited camp with his family yesterday. His son Ralph, who is but 16 years old, obtained his father's consent and has enlisted as bugler and assigned to com pany G. Rev. S. E. Pendleton, D. D., of Bald win, Kan., has applied to the war de partment for the authority to recruit a regiment. The doctor had experience in the civil war and would doubtless make an efficient and popular officer. He is one of the leading Methodist min isters of the state, and formerly lived in Topeka where he was for four years presiding elder. Much regret Is expressed by members of all parties over Mr. Broderick's pros pective retirement from congress. He has been a faithful, modest, earnest, efficient representative. This is not said in disparagement of Mr. Curtis, for he also is popular and efficient. In fact the entire Kansas delegation is a credit to the state, barring political dif ferences, and is made up of industrious, faithful men. $60.00 to Portland, Oregon, and return, via Santa Fe Route.

Protests Against His Support of Ha wai an Anne: at on. Mrs. Annie L. Ditrss does not believe in the annexation of Hawaii and she is displeased because Senator Harris has changed his position on the question and will vote for annexation. She hunted up Governor Leedy today and requested him to join her in a telegram to Senator Harris protesting against his new position but Governor Le?dy said that he is in favor of the annexa tion of Hawaii and so Mrs. Dige-s sent the telegram herself. It is as follows: Topeka, June 23, 198. Senator W. A. Harris, Washington. IX C. It is with regret that I note your change of view as to Hawaiian annex ation as reported in Associated Press dispatches. I believe a careful invest igation would show a large majority of the people opposed to the measure. ANNIE L. DIGGS. Mrs. Discs says that she will follow the telegram with a letter more fully explaning her position. She says that she saw enough while she was in Wash ington to convince her that annexation would not be a good thing. STABBED BY HIS SON. Balaam Fox Receives a Scissors Wound in the Back. Balaam Fox, a farmer living at 131 Mich igan avenue, Oakland, was stabbed in the back with a pair of rusty scissors by h"s 16-year-old son Carl, about 10 o'clock last niht. The scissors were closed and both points entered between the sixth and sev enth vertebrae of the spinal column to the depth of nearly two inches. The spinal cord was injured, as paralysis of the left side below the waist ensued almost im mediately after the accident. The Fox family state that the Injury was purely an accident. Fox himself pays that he was entjapred in a friendly Fcuffle with his son when he received the Injury. He says the boy has recently considered himself equal to him in point of strength, and on numerous occasions has attempted to prove it in friendly scuf fles. The latest attempt was made last niht. I had been wrestling- with the bo v." said Fox this morninp:. "and turned him, with the remark. 'I'll jut give you a shake. 'I'll just Rive you h poke.' said he, picking up the scissors and pushing them t me. The next thing1 1 knew they were in my back and I had dropped to the floor and was bleeding- like a stuck hog;." The entrance of the scissors made an ugly wound in the back, and as they were rusty the attending physician fears that bJood poisoning" will result. It is believed that the spinal cord was badly lacerated, and the atending physician stfttes that Fox will probably be permanently para lyzed if he recovers. There is fear, how ever, that the injury may prove fatal. Carl Fox is a big", strapping fellow for his age and works with his father on the farm. It is not known that he has ever had any serious trouble with his father, and if the injury was not accidental it CHICAG0 t5 Cromwell Jeffers, Topeka, Kansas: P GENTLEMEN The following is the analysis of a sample of "B.

MONEY ORDERS UNCHANGED Revenue Stamps Will Not Be Affixed to Them. Washington, June 23 An almost total stoppage of money order business on July 1, it is said, has been averted by an agreement between the officials of the treasury and pestoffica departments that the law does not require stamps to be affixed to domestic money orders. It would be impossible, says the officials, to supply stamps by that date. As construed by the officials the law re quires simply an additional charge of the value of the stamps to be made when the money order is issued. The paragraph of the war revenue law in regard to money orders reads as fol lows: "And from and after the first day of July, 1S98, the provisions of this para graph shall apply as well to the orig inal domestic money orders issued by the government of the United States and the price of such money orders shall be increased by a sum equal to the value of the stamps herein provided for." The latter portion of the passage is taken to mean that stamps are not to be used. This construction of the law will obviate the use of about thirty two million stamps each year, that be ing the approximate number of money orders issued annually. A circular to postmasters at money order offices ha3 been prepared by the postofflce de partment directing them to follow this ruling. The blank applications, now in use, need not be changed and not until the stock on hand is exhausted will any change appear in money order blanks. SEEKS AMERICAN BLOOD.

General Federation of Women's Clubs at Denver Present a "Double Bill" to Im mense Throngs. THE CLUB AND PRESS Is Discussed in the Broadway Theater While "Civic Clubs" Occupies the Time at Unity Church. Denver, Col., June 23. The "double bill" feature of the federation was In augurated today with prospects of numerous cases of nervous prostration among the fair enthusiasts who have planned to take In all of them. In coming trains continue to bring club women to increase the crush and the two places of assemblage, the Broad way theater and Unity church, were packed to their utmost capacity. The morning session was devoted "to the press" and presided over by Mrs. Henrotin was an interesting in novation from the federation stand point. Miss Minnie J. Reynolds was local assistant chairman. The programme was as follows: "Western Journalism," Mrs. Anna Kalfus Spero, California, Miss Helen Winslow.Massachusetts and Mrs. Frances M. Ford, Nebraska. "The Club and the Press," Miss Ber tha Damaris Knobe, Illinois. "Woman's Clubs from a Reporter's Standpoint," Mrs. Josephine Woodward, Ohio, and Mrs. Horace M. Towner, Iowa. "Women on the Provincial Press," Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson, Georgia, and Mrs. Ellen S. Cromwell, Washington, The simultaneous session was devo ted to "Civic clubs and village improve ment." The programme was as foi lows: "The Palisades," Miss Celia Gaines, New Jersey. "A Little Housekeeping Out of Doors," Mrs. Joseph Green, Ohio. "Roadsides and Forests and Waste Places." Mrs. Mabel Loomis Todd, Mas sachusetts, and Miss Laura B. Moore, Idaho. "Our Forests," Miss Mira Lloyd Dock, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. M. E. Trout man, New York. Besides the two sessions this after noon devoted to "phases of economic work in clubs," and "Home economics," there are endless receptions including open house of the Non-Partisan Equal Suffrage society, the Collegiate Alumni association, the Civic Federation, the Woman's Relief corps and eight recep tions for various delegations by Den ver women. The minimum amount ex pended by the federation hostess in the way of receptions, free excursions and places of meeting is estimated at $5,000 and stands for one year's continuous work. Club women with pleasure proclivi ties broke up an important business session of the general federation yes terday afternoon. After bumping up against parliamentary tactics until 4:30 o'clock, the hour set for a free trolley ride, the wornout delegates bolted in a body. Notwithstanding a thunder storm which soon broke loose, the wo men clambered on the cars bound for Elitch's gardens, where they were ten dered a reception by the North Side Woman's club and incidentally ruined their best bonnets. Prior to this unexpected procedure several important matters were consid ered, chief of which was the curtail ment of the delegates' power, it being decided that one delegate could cast the vote of only one club. As many women came to represent several clubs each, this decision precipitated much grumbling, particularly among dele gates from smaller towns empowered to cast several votes. The report of the corresponding sec retary, Mrs. Phillip Moore, of St. Louis, was interesting. The Federation now includes 595 clubs with a membership of 60,000 and 30 state Federations made up of 2,110 clubs with a membership of 150,000. Taking out duplicate member ships, it leaves 160.000 women in the country pledged to the motto "Unity in Diversity." There is an honorary mem bership of 21. It was also mentioned that the greatest success of state Fed erations had been along the lines of education, traveling libraries, art league, industrial and manual training for women. The committee on credentials, Mrs. William H. Kistler of Denver, showed YORK LAWRENCE, JUNE 8, 1898, else than it claims to be, H. S.

Mrs. Frank Trumbull of Denver, the treasurer, showed receipts in two years amounting to $8,671, with expenditures of $4,979, leaving a balance of $3,692. The first distinctively literary pro gram came off in the evening in the Broadway theater, which was packed with an enthusiastic audience. The theme vas "Education." Miss Annie Laws of Ohio, presided, with Prof. Graca Patton as local assistant chairman. The addresses, interspersed with musical numbers, were as follows: "Education," Mrs. Frank Heller, Ne braska; "Ethical Education in our schools," Mrs. Don R. Coray, Utah; "Manual Education," Mrs. Mary E. Mumford, Pennsylvania; "Educational facilities," Miss C. S. Parish, Virginia; "Woman's movement to establish a na tional university," Mrs. Calvin S. Brice, New York. The husband of the president, Mr. Henrotin, has gallantly put in an ap pearance and is the lion of the hour. His mission he declares to be the es tablishment of a new Federation fea ture, that of housekeeper for the better half of the incoming president. Mrs. M. D. Thatcher of Pueblo, pres ident of the Colorado Federation has met with a serious accident, having in jured her spine by a tumble down stairs. Mrs. Eliza Royle of Salt Lake City, the first president of the first club or ganized west of the Mississippi river, has been voted an honorary vice pres ident of the Federation. Greetings have been read from dis tinguished women all over the world, including Lady Aberdeen of Canada; Lady Amelia Dilke, of London, Mme. Isabelle Boquelot of Paris, Mme. O. H.

Americans Cp-operating With Eng land for a Protectorate. "Washington, June 23. Bishop J. C. Hartzell, the representative of the Methodist Episcopal church in Africa, has had several conferences of late with Secretary Day and other officials here relative to the desirability of hav ing the United States co-operate with Great Britain in a protectorate over the republic of Liberia. It is understood that Bishop Hartzell also has present ed the matter to the British ambassa dor here. For the present, however, the attention of officials is so absorbed in questions relating to the war that there is no desire to take up a matter of this importance. It is said that a political representative of the Li berian republic, probably the secretary of state, will arrive in this country be fore long to supplement the informal tion Bishop Hartzell has presented. M UST PAY WAR TAX. New York Exchange Shuts Off Re bate Commissions on Revenue New York, June 23. The governing committee of the stock exchange has adopted a resolution that any member of the exchange who issues or bears for his own account, or relieves his princi pal from any part of the stamp taxes imposed by congress upon any sales or agreements for the sale of any stocks sold or agreed to be sold for account of such principal, would be guilty of a vi olation of the constitution of the ex change. This means that the broker will under no circumstances be allowed, by1 him self assuming the tax or any part of it, to give his customer what would in ef fect be a rebate upon commissions.

She Has Been Sent to the Insane Asylum at St. Joe. Mrs. Ida Wellman, who was adjudged insane in Topeka three years ago and sent to the Topeka insane asylum, has been adjudged insane in Chiilicothe, Mo., and has been sent to the St. Joseph insane asylum. Mrs. Wellman's case was brought up in the appellate court and she was re leased from the asylum for the reason that she was not present at her trial for insanity. She was not adjudged sane and she has never been pro nounced sane since she was sent to the Topeka asylum and her release was procured through an error in her com mitment trial. Mrs. "Wellman is the person who was left in charge of the A. A. Robinson house while the family were away and who wrought such havoc with the fur nishings. GERMANS AGGRESSIVE. Not Pleased With Prospects of Being Crowded Out of Philippines. London, June 23. The Berlin corres pondent of the Times, commenting on the continued discussion of the Philip pine question, says: "There would be a storm of indigna tion in the German press if the United States were to become master of the Philippines, while Germany got nothing. In the view of many German politicians anything would be better than that, and they would even prefer to see the intervention of several European pow ers to protect the life and property of their subjects from the rebels, followed by the acquisition of a naval station for each of them. "There is, in fact, a skin fact, a strong inclination to repeat the Chinese drama at Kiao Chou wherever an op portunity is afforded.. Relatively to what Germany already possesses, she has everything to gain by such a policy of fair shares all around. "There can, however, be little doubt that no European power or combina tion of powers will venture to prevent the United States and Great Britain from settling the future of the Philip pines conjointly, or at least, under the protection of their conjoint naval forc es. Continental opinion would not only speedily acknowledge the strength of an Anglo-American naval alliance, but would be practically unanimous against the risk of the commercial consequen ces of a breach with the United States."

A business meeting of the City Fed eration was held Tuesday afternoon at the physical culture rooms;' the attend ance was small as the club women, did not respond very readily to the call, notwithstanding an interesting meeting was held. The advisability of giving a lecture course this coming season, under the auspices of the City Federation, the high school and Washburn college com bined, was thoroughly discussed and definite action on the subject will be ta ken at a called meeting next Tuesday afternoon. The traveling library is in a prosper ous condition and it is encouraging to the club women that they have the co operation of so many of the state offi cers; Mrs. Diggs, the state librarian, is soon to purchase some new books for the miscellaneous library and she. has given the committee from the Federa tion the privilege of suggesting the books and on subjects that will be ben eficial to them in their work. The majority of the clubs are re sponding heartily to the call for books; there are a few however that have not been heard from. Over three hundred books have been contributed. There will be a called meeting next Tuesday afternoon in the physical culture rooms and it is hoped that all the delegates will be present and as many members of the Federation as possible. The Ladies' Music Club. The Ladies' Music club held their last meeting this season, Wednesday after noon at the home of Mrs. F. P.

British War Secretary Approves Al liance With America. London. June 23. The Marquis of Lans downe, secretary of state for war, ad dressing the conservative union of Lon don today, indorsed the recent Birming ham speech of the secretary of state for the colonies, in which Mr. Chamberlain expressed the hope that the day would come when the stars and stripes and the union jack would wave together over an Anglo-American alliance. Lord Lansdowne said he found noth ing in Mr. Chamberlain's speech to of fend the common sense or the patriotism of Great Britain. "We should be wanting in foresight." he continued, "if we failed to realize that the time might come when our revenues would no longer flow so free Iv.when the British taxpayer grows weary of the building of more and more battle ships and raising more and more battal ions, and when, whether we liked it or not, we might have to consider whether wc could afford to stand alone." Lord Lansdowne insisted that it was in the highest degree desirable that the colo nies should be encouraged to take a more active share in the defense of the empire. There was nothing ridiculous in the idea of a closer friendship with America. To his mind there could be no more inspiring ideal than such an undertaking between two nations sprung from the same race and having so many common interests nations which together were predominant in the- world's commerce and industry. Was there anything prenosterous. he ask ed, in the hope that these two nations should be found, he would not say In a hard and fast alliance of offense and de fense, but closelv- connected in their di plomacy, absolutely frank and unreserv ed in their international councils and ready wherever the affairs of the world were threatened with disturbance to throw their influence in the same. "Depend upon it." said he in conclusion, "these are no mere idle dreams or hazy aspirations. The change w hich has come over the sentiment of each country to ward the other during the last year or two is almost immeasurable. One can scarce ly believe that they are the same United States with whom, only two years ago, we were on the verge of a serious quarreL The change is not an ephermeral under standing between diplomats, but a genu ine desire of the two peoples to be friends, and therefore it cannot be laughed out of existence by the sort of comments we have lately heard."

As a citizen I do not desire to keep from the court anything which would be valuable. The witness is un der arrest. I represent him as an at torney. I refuse to give up the letter. I might concede enough in this matter, but I do not care to give up this letter. Justice McClintock This is not a private letter of your client. W. I.

After that I went to Bee Adams and after while I went home and John was sitting in my kitchen. I pulled a gun down on him and he Jumped. He said he found no one at home and opened a window and went in. Then John and I went to Bee Adams' place. He wanted me to get Adams to go to Kansas City for the bomb shell. John said: "Well, I want you to come and go with me." I said, "No, I won't cross that ave nue." I told him to go on and I would go. Q- When did you leave Topeka? A. May 12. Q. Where did you go? A.

He went over to his co and took out a small red pocketbook. He said: 'Give me that $2.50." He took it and gave me a $5 bill. Attorney Hayden at 11:55 o'clock asked the court to adjourn with the un derstand nig that the cross-examination by the defense could be continued. The crowd, most of whom were wo men, remained in the court room until after John Collins was taken from the room by the constable. They then fol lowed closely behind. On most of their faces there was a look of sympathy, on some, one of morbid curiosity. Afternoon Session. This afternoon when the preliminary hearing of John Collins was resumed, there were more women In the room than at any previous time during the hearing. Attorney Safford said: We would like your decision now on the case of W. I. Jamison and the letter. W. I. Jamison Before you give your decision I wish to take the witness stand. I now have an attorney to rep resent me. (Jamison took the witness stand and was questioned by his at torney, W .H. Thompson). Thompson You are Johnson Jordan's attorney? Jamison I am. Q.

Justice McClintock I will announce my decision later. Johnson Jordan then took the witness stand and was cross-examined by At torney Hayden. The latter carefully went over the various point3 testified to by Jordan in direct examination in re gard to his visits to Johnson in Topeka. So far the defense has been unable to shake the testimony. Jordan is a smarter man than Jesse Harper and his testimony has been given with great clearness. Wednesday Afternoon. A great part of Wednesday afternoon was taken up with the cross-examination of Jesse Harper and the testimony of Sheriff Cook. Cross-examination of Harper proceed ed as follows: Q. Did you tell Jordan what was wanted of him? A. No. Q. Who was with Jordan when you went up to the Eldridge house? A. I didn't notice. Q. Did he tell you what he wanted done? A.

Then Johnson said: "John will be over tomorrow and give you $75 for me." Q. When did you next see Collins? A. A couple of day3 afterward. 1 saw him the next morning about this $75.

Then he opened his watch and showed me her picture and I said: That's the Babcock girl. There's no use of you going with that girl, for I hear she is engaged to Tom Wagstaff.' He told me he was ace high with her. Attorney Hayden raised a vigorous objection to this statement, but the ob jection was overruled. Jesse Harper was then dismissed from the stand.

He said this story had been told to Miss Babcock, and also that he had employed detectives from Kansas City to protect his father. I was a listener.

The state then turned over the wit ness to the attorneys for the defense. John Collins' Written Statement. John H. Collins on June 6 handed a written statement to Sheriff Porter S. Cook in regard to losing his watch. Yesterday at the hearing Sheriff Cook produced the statement when on the witness stand. The statement is important in that should the statements of the colored men in regard to having received the gold watch from Collins in payment for the proposed murder be corroborated, this statement will show that John at tempted to conceal facts In regard to the circumstances of the loss. Following is the statement, which was introduced in evidence in the hear ing: "My gold watch was given to me on or about March 31, 1838. It had a monogram 'J. H. C on the outside and an inscription 'J. H. Collins, March 31, 1877-1898' on the inside. I think it had gold hands. I first missed my watch on the morning after the Dewey day parade, when I was at the Santa Fe depot at Topeka. I thought I must have left it at my room in Topeka, as I often left other things. "The day that I came home I looked all around for it, but did not find it. The chain was attached to it and I had it in my trousers pocket. The last time I remember of looking at it was in the crowd in front of Stansfield's drug store shortly after the cutting scrape. After that I was on the avenue most of the time, and in the crowd around the jail the rest of the time. On the other end of the chain, in another pock et, was a small button-hook. "I missed my diamond stud sometime before, but I do not remember how long. I told Miss Babcock shortly afterwards of my having lost it. I missed it one evening when I was dressing to make a call. JOHN HENRY COLLINS. "Dated Topeka,Monday,June 6, 1898." START "ROUGH HOUSE" Bough-Riders Shoot a Woman at Tampa Cavalryman Also "Wounded. Tampa, Fla., June 23. A" party of mule packers and rough riders went to a disreputable house and raised a row. A general fight followed and one of the men was shot by one of the Inmates of the house. The woman was shot three times. One of the wounds is dangerous and the men are held to await developments. Three mule pack ers and two rough riders were arrested a few minutes after the shooting. The man who was shot is not seriously in jured. MAY FIGHT TODAY. Miles Receives Word From One of liis Aides. Washington, June 23. Gen. Miles re ceived a dispatch today from one of his aides de camp, who is now with Gen. Shaffer's army at Baiquiri. He declined to give its text to the public but said that it merely announced that the landing of the troops was made all right without any casualty whatever, and that the only troops met were the Cuban insurgents on the ground. It stated that one Cuban was struck by the bursting of a shell and lost his arm and that there were about 5,700 insur gents on hand well armed and under good discipline. Gen. Miles' correspon dent also stated that the troops were in splendid spirits and ready for a fight, "and," said Gen. Miles, "there may be a fight today." 47,000 MEN. A Big Army is Now Encamped at Chickamauga. Chickamauga Park, Tenn., June 23. No orders of any kind affecting the the present status of Gen. Brooke's army have been received and the work of preparing the men for the field is going forward rapidly and satisfac torily. There are now at the park 47,000 men and those are being added to dally by from 500 to 700 recruits. Yesterday and last night the largest number yet to arrive in one day came in, there be ing about 1,500 arrivals. Including the payments to the Twelfth New 'York, this week, it is estimated that $310,000 has been paid to volunteers at Chickamauga since the army mobilized here. The regular government pay day for many of the regiments is approaching and some of the regiments have been mustered in for more than thirty days and have not yet been paid. Work on the pay rolls will begin in a few days. Everything is now moving smoothly at the park. The men are all contented and are working with a will. The quar termaster's department has been thor oughly systematized, so that there is no longer the slightest difficulty for the men to get plenty good wholesome food. Regiments are nearly all equipped with new uniforms and are now being armed as rapidly as the guns can be turned out of the arsenal. Other need ed small equipments are being added daily, and it is now believed that this army will be the best equipped of any to go into the field. For the first time in the history of the army of the United States an ambu lance corps is being organized as a new adjunct to its efficiency. England, Germany and France have such a corps in their armies, but it is a new under taking for this government. The ob ject of this organization is to facilitate the proper handling of the sick and wounded on the field. The corps will have attached to it, skilled physicians, surgeons and stewards, which, with a full supply of attendants, will dumber 150. They have 25 ambulances, 28 horses and 76 mules, together with wag ons and harness for moving their equip age. There is a driver and an orderly for each ambulance. Major McCumber of the Fourteenth New York, chief sur geon of the corps, is a physician who was for a number of years the superin tendent of Kings county insane asylum. Major McCumber's practice of late has been such as to peculiarly fit him for his onerous duties as chief surgeon. The chaplains of nearly all of the vari ous regiments now encamped at Chicka mauga park have begun a very vigorous crusade against the many regimental can teens or saloons. The fight is as yet in its incipiency, but it promises to be waged unrelentingly, and if the chaplains can ob tain the co-operation of the army officials the canteens will soon be a thing of the past. Lieutenant Colonel Adams of the Fourth Ohio was today named as brigadier officer of the day in the Second brigade, p'irst division. First army corps. He will con tinue as brigade officer for one week. Ma jor Thomas F. Lynch, First battalion. Sixty-ninth New York, and Lieutenant John Devane, company M, who were left here quite sick when the regiment depart ed for Tampa, have about recovered and expect to go to Tampa soon. Cool, clear weather again prevails to day. Regimental drills are going on in all camps, but no unusual maneuvers are taking place. The sham battle of the First division. Third corps, to be given un der the direction of General Fred Grant, next Saturday, promises to be the event of the week. The best of order now pre vails throughout the camp. The provrst guard placed at Lytle by General Brooke is having an excellent effect. WILL DEPORT PRISONERS. Non Combatants on Prize Ships Will Be Surrendered to Spain. Washington, June 23. The attorney general has decided to surrender to the ambassadors of France and Austria, as the diplomatic representatives of Spain, the noncombatants and crews cf the prize merchant vessels captured by ships cf our navy since the declaration of war. The department tof t justice, having, no means of feeding the prison ers, turned them over to the war de partment, but Secretary Alger has now declined to continue the arrangement. The representatives of Spain here were communicated with and their consent secured to receive the prisoners and ship them back to Spain. The only thing now to be done is to secure the names of the prisoners to be surrender ed and a telegram has been sent to the United States attorney having charge of the cases to supply them at once, with a view to their immediate deportation at the expense of the Span ish government. CORNELL WINS. Finishes Three and a Half Lengths Ahead of Tale. New London, June 23. Cornell won the tri-unlversity boat race on the Thames river course today, the four miles being rowed in 23:48. Yale cros sed the finish line three and a half boat lengths behind the winner and twelve lengths ahead of Harvard. Last year at Poughkeepsie Cornell won in 20:34; Yale second, 20:44, and Harvard last, 21 minutes. At the appointed time, 12:30 p. m., the three crews were at their respective stake boats. Referee Meikelham shouted his final instructions to the waiting crew? and gave order, "get ready." An inst-.mt of suspense, a puff of smoke, a report and the boats were off. Infective starts were made by a!! of the crews. If there was any advantage it belonged to Yale, the nose of her shell jumped to the fore with Cornell viciously hugging it and Harvard's prow a few short feet to the rear. Yale was the first to settle down to the rac ing stroke of 34 strokes to the minute. Cornell was soon around to the same and in a few minutes the crimson tip ped blades were dipping in the water 3-1 times a minute. The long sweeping Cook stroke sent Yale to the front to the extent of a quarter of a length, where it hung for perhaps a quarter of a mile. The form of Harvard was fairly good, but during the first quarter the crimson fell to the rear slewly but surely and at the half was behind nearly a length. From the quarter, Cornell's strong stroke began to assert itself. A little spurt brought Cornell's shell even with Yale's and a little later Yale was second in the race. At the half Cornell led Yale by half a length and Harvard was one and a half lengths behind the leaders. From this point to the mile, Yale and Cornell row ed prettily, but the latter had the bet ter of it, and when the flags were pass ed. Courtney's men were rapidly reach ing a point where clear water could be seen between Capt. Colson and the prow of Yale's shell. Once more Cor nell spurted just to show that the race had not told on them. When the mile and a half flag had been reached, Harvard was evidently destined to cross the finish line a poor third. Cornell continued to gain and at the end of the second mile, plenty of blue water was discernible between the Cornell and Yale boats.From this point on, Cornell gave an exhibition of row ing never paralleled on the American Thames. She lowered her stroke and pulled a measured 30 to the minute. As Cornell and Yale approached the two and a half mile flag the latter sent their stroke up three points and began to close up the gap. Cornell did not undertake to respond to the spurt and it was unnecessary. Cornell's rowing was as clean as a whistle. During the Yale spurt the Blues lost something of their finish and in the waist of the boat there was a splashing. The three mile flag showed Cornell the leader by over two lengths, with Yale and Cornell both sending their strokes up. The last mile was rowed superbly by Cornell, while Yale began to show sign3 of distress. Still Eli's sons fought on pluckily and did succeed in crawling up a trifle. Cornell however had evidently been waiting for the stretch and during the last half mile, they rowed like de mons. Yale lost a length in the last half mile, while Harvard was toiling away nearly ten lengths behind. The booming of the gun on the judges beat announced that Cornell had cross ed the line a winner. Fourteen seconds later another report told that Yale had finished and away back came the Har vard. Cornell won the race by three and a Jialf lengths over Yale and nearly eleven lengths separated her and Har vard. Time, 23:48. FIGHT AT SAN JUAN Between American Cruiser and Spanish War Vessel.

A stil lower notch was made for Sugar, but it was only bv con siderable force, though it would riot do to suggest that matching orders took place. The reduction in the company's fixed charges was a little more than the amount of the increase. The statement of the New York Central for the quarter ended June 3 and for the fiscal year was interesting, showing the large amount ex pended. In other words, the New York Central might have readilv shown 5i per cent earned on its stock. The Lake Shore shows earnings at the rate of 7 per cent yearly against less than a rate of 6 per cent shown in half yearly in 1S97 and 1S96. The publication of the B.

Road Runs From Learenwortu West to Garrison. MARSHALL A NIM110D. Santa Fe Conductor Tells a New Story. Charlie Reeves, of Chanute, an Expert Fisherman. Leavenworth, June 23. Adequate passenger .service has at last been se cured on the Leavenworth, Kansas Western railroad, better known, per haps, as the old Kansas Central. The service will be extended to Garrison, Pottawatomie county, a distanca of 116 miles. Trains will leave Garrison at 5:30 a. m. and reach Leavenworth at 11 a. m. Returning trains will leave Leavenworth at 5:30 p. m. and arrive at Garrison at 11 p. m. There have been many petitions for the addition of this passenger service to the old Kansas Central, but while the road was in the hands of receivers, nothing could be accomplished. Now that the road is out of the re ceivers hands, however, the people's In terests will be looked after. It is the policy of General Passenger Agent Bas inger to push the facilities of the road as fast as business will warrant. Pas senger service to Garrison Is a begin ning. The people will doubtless show by their increased patronage that the company is justified in the additional service. The new schedule will go into effect on next Monday, June 27. The present schedule will also be continued. A MONSTER ALMOST. Conductor Charlie Reeves of Chanute, Goes Fishing. Chanute, June 23. Conductor Charles Reeves took his wife to Winfield last Sunday and went fishing. They caught a 16-pound catfish which Charley tied on a string and put Into the tank of the engine to bring to Chanute to surprise some of the disciples of Isaac Walton in this city. Upon reaching Chanuts Charley proudly walked to the engine tank and pulled the string, but the fish was missing. He went to the round house and after drawing most of the water from the tank recovered the fish by paying a small boy 50 cents to crawl in and catch him. He suspects that some of the boys cut the fish loose, but he has not located the guilty party as yet. MARSHALL, THE DEER SLATES Conductor "Hank" Astonishes the Nimroda With His Prowess. "I used to be something of a sports man in my younger days," said Con ductor Hank Marshall while he was standing near the depot waiting for the fast mail to pass. "I used to hunt deer In the Rocky mountains. One spring I had been hunting deer steadily for three weeks and had not bagged one. I was get ting discouraged so I quit. One day I went out on the "plaza near the camp, when I heard a noise behind me. 1 looked up and there was a fine young deer. I had my rifle with me and I took aim and fired. I did not kill the deer but wounded it so that when It tried to Jump the fence it stuck fast in a snow drift. I took out my pocket knife and killed It. Yes, that was a lucky snow drift." NO OBJECTIONS TO POLITICS. President Ripley of the Santa Fe Is- -r sues Important Document. The following circular baa been issued by President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe: "Some misunderstanding seems to ex ist as to the intent of the rule forbid ding officers and employes of the com pany taking active part in politics. "It is not the intention to restrict the exercise of individual rights and there is no objection to the free and full ex pression of opinion, nor to membership in political organizations. "It is expected that every officer or employe will act as his reason may dictate In any public matter; but the principle does not require the accept ance of places of profit or honor, and the neglect of the company's business on such accounts will not be tolerated. "It will not be difficult for an officer or employe to properly draw the line between his duties to the company and to his country, he will constantly bear in mind that his views upon every sub ject and his fair expression at the polls, the primaries or elsewhere, are matters with which the company has nothing whatever to do; but the company right fully demands that no officer or em ploye shall accept any public office or take such part in the affairs of political organizations as will either interfere with the performance of his particular duties to the company, or tend to place the company in the false position of ap pearing to be itself engaged in politics." ADOPTS SANTA FE PLAN. Wabash Abandons Present System of Watch Inspection. The watch inspecting system of the Santa Fe is gaining admirers among railroad officials every day. After looking into the workings of the different watch inspecting systems of different roads in the country, the Wa bash has finally decided to adopt the system in use by the Santa Fe and will likely put it in operation on that road before the close of the year. FREIGHT BUSINESS DULL. Movement of Grain Will Not Begin Before July L Freight business on the Santa Fe is dull. There is but little doing in the freight line and no large amount of business Is looked for before the move ment of the grain for Galveston which will likely commence about July 1st. Passenger traffic has been unusually brisk although the rates to Omaha have not attracted any number of people. The opinion of different passenger agents is that the rates to Omaha must come down at least one-third before September in order to induce the public to flock to Omaha. It is asserted by passenger men that the rates will be down by September. NO DIVIDENDS; MORE WAGES. Something Philanthropic on Part of a Railroad System. Beginning July 1 the Louisville Nashville Railroad company will re store to its employes one-half of the cut made in their salaries on August 1, 1893 the panic year. This announce ment will bring Joy to the hearts of the many thousands of women and men who draw money for services from the great L. N. system. It has also been decided that no dividend on the com pany's stock will be declared, the man agement preferring to give its army of employes the benefit of increased earnings. With a continued improve ment of business, however, the com pany will be in a position next year to declare dividends and also advance wages to the extent of the remaining portion of the cut. It is estimated that, the restoration of one-half the cut made in salaries will cost the company fully $500,000. WAS NOT SMALLPOX. Mosquito Bite Causes Panic on Santa Fe Train. Oklahoma City, O. T., June 23. On a Santa Fe passenger, what was sup posed to be smallpox on an Immigrant car was reported to the railroad physi cian of this city. The car was loaded with German immigrants bound for California from Galveston. Their faces and hands were broken out with every indication of smallpox, and many pas sengers deserted the train, while those left demanded that the car be side tracked. An examination and inquiry developed that the eruptions were the result of bites of Galveston mosqui toes. HE KISSED HOBSON, Spanish Admiral's Tribute to American Bravery. New York, June 23. A special to the Press from Albany, .N Y., says ac cording to the story related by James Myers of the flagship New Tork, in a letter written to a friend in Troy, Ad miral Cervera kissed Hobson and his associates of the Merrlmac for their bravery. Mr. Myers' letter is in part as follows: "Hobson and his men fought bravely to cut their way back to us, killing many Spaniards but the tide waa too strong and they were car ried shoreward and taken prisoners of war. "The Spanish captain of the Cristobal Colon came to this ship bearing a flag of truce and told the admiral that all of our men were alive, but without clothes, provisions and money. He also said that our men fought like demons and killed many of their men; that the Spanish admiral said he never saw such bravery and kissed every one of them on the forehead. "Everybody is admiring the pluck of the Spaniards as the odds are all against them. They have no food, clothes, or way of being helped, yet they will not give in. However, In an other week, we will take It without loss of blood by havng them surrender, or we will kill every Spaniard on the Is land. We will hold up Old Glory in spite of every human feeling. The Spaniards have been cruel to our boys of the Maine and now we will show them what Justice is and give them a little of Uncle Sam's wrath. "By the way, when the Merrlmac was going into the harbor to its doom, a big flag with 'Maine' printed on it was on the foremast. The poor Spaniards must have felt sore to see that we nev er forget."

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE. Last November Mr. Joseph James, painter, of 325 W. Pearl St., Indianapo lis, Ind., was at death's door with quick consumption. Wasted to a skeleton; his lungs a mass of ulceration; his death was hourly awaited by his doctor and family. He was kept in a constant stupor with opium. A friend, thinking to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its wonderful effect, the doctor advised its continued use. Mr. James soon after dismissed his doctor, and depended on the Balm alone. His recovery was rapid and complete, and in February he returned to work. His lungs are sound, and his weight greater than at any time in his life. His recovery is regarded as almost a miracle. COMMA BACIX.X.U8. In consumption beware of cough mix tures and prescriptions that contain opium. Opium paralizes the nerves, and gives the comma bacillus a good chance to destroy the lungs. It is always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu lates the nerves with new iife and power, destroys the microbe, and restores all that is left of the diseased lungs to a sound and healthy state which no other remedy has ever been known to aCCOm pil oil WANTED SALESMEN. 315 TO $35 a week and expenses paid men to sell cigars on time: experience unnec essary.

Gottmann died suddenly In a funeral train on the St. Paul rail road. In which he too was going to the cemetery. Soon after the train left the depot, the conductor started to collect tickets. rW'hen he reached Gottmann he thought The passenger was asleep and touched iiim on the shoulder. Then he dis covered that Lis passenger was dead. When the train stopped near Division and Halsted streets the Larrabea street police were notified and removed the body to Roth's undertaking establish ment. Mrs. Gottmann was In Ignorance of her husband's death until she returned from the cemetery. Mrs. Gottmann was prostrated when she recognized the remains in the morgue.

MRS. LIZZIE PEFFER, i Assistant Patriotic Instructor. SVatson'a Livery, 7th and .Van Buren, LIVING SKELETON WEDS. New York Museum Attraction Wants Some One to Love. New Tork, Jure 23. A wedding with peculiarly Interesting and unique fea tures took place on the third floor of the apartments at 21 South Fifteenth street last evening. The contracting parties were Miss Emma Schaller and Wm. C. Cole. Rev. Dr. Campbell of the Methodist church performed the cere mony, which was witnessed by the bride's mother, a few neighbors and several newspaper men the latter ac cidentally invited guests. The bride was wheeled into the mar riage license office in the afternoon in an invaild's chair, accompanied by her mother and the prospective groom. The latter is a strong, well built man of 43 years. The bride is 30. Mrs. Cole is well known to the mu seum patrons of the United States, having exhibited in all the large cities as a skeleton. When her occupation demanded it, it is alleged, she reduced her weight to 38 pounds, though her normal avoirdupois is about 130. She has also traveled as an ossified woman. She abandoned the profession about a year ago, and declares that she is out of it for good. "I quit when they began to reduce salaries," she said. "I don't want any of the members of the profession to know that I have been married not that I am ashamed of it, but simply because it is a private matter, and I am no longer interested in the freak business. I was at it for eight years, and in all that time have never had an ache or pain; no, not even a headache. Some of the doctors have pronounced my ailment rheumatism, but others in sist that it is a muscular trouble, and I think the latter right. "I wanted to get a husband who was big and strong enough to take care of me. The skeletons with whom 1 was associated were a little light. For eight weeks I showed as the bride of a skeleton. That was the only matri monial experience I've had. I made lots of money at the business. My mother traveled with me, acting as my nurse, adviser and business manager, and we had some very good times, but I've con cluded now to settle down to a quiet life." When asked how, when necessary, she could bring her weight down from 130 to 38 pounds, she replied: "Ah, that was the mystery of it. No one knew. I didn't show it in my face, but my entire body, from the shoulders down, thinned out. People wondered how I could do it and retain my health, but I was careful to keep the informa tion to myself." Mrs. Cole is quite a modest little wo man, good looking and a bright, enter taining talker. She was arrayed in bridal costume white dress and veil, and seemed happy as a lark when the minister pronounced the words making her the wife of William C. Cole. She was obliged to remain seated during the ceremony, and her groom and all the witnesses did likewise. When- Dr. Campbell said "That's all." the groom smiled happily, took his wife's arm and planted a kiss upon her cheeks. For him the bride's physical affliction meant no sorrow. He gladly accepted the re sponsibility of loving and caring for her, and she just as faithfully prom ised to be a true, devoted and affec tionate wife. A SPORTY SPANIARD. Senor Robledo, the Coming Man, Keeps Game Chickens. Madrid, June 23. Many believe that the coming man in Spain is Don Fran cisco Romero y Robledo, former Span ish minister of justice and a strong character. He is an Andalusian by birth, but looks more like an English man. He is tall and has light, curly hair, turning to gray, and his teeth protrude. He has won his position largely by personal magnetism and his oratory. As an orator he is considered second only to Castelar. He sprang from poor parents ani has forced his way upward to the front rank of public life. He has dabbled in politics since his student days, and his pertinacity while young gained for him the sobriquet "El polio de Antequera," the chicken of Antequera his birth place. He is a great judge of bull fighting, which is his passion next to politics.

His wife, by the way, is a Cuban and owns great estates on the island, so .they art both greatly interested in the present war. Their daughters go much in Madrid society and are very popular. UNDER A CHURCH. Robbers' Roost Found in Pittsburg House of "Worship. Pittsburg, Pa., June 23. John Black, Charles Fay, Julius Croquet, Charles Allen and Frank Wagner are locked up in the Alleghany police station charged with being burglars.

They had just returned from Mount Wash ington, where they are said to have robbed a store. In a room under the church detec tives found a mass of plunder. Among the stuff was some revolutionary war relics stolen from the residence of the pastor, Rev. H. Crowfield. Black is 25 years old. The others are boys.

For superintendent of public instruc tion Mrs. Florence Renkes of Barry county, Silver Republican. For- member state board of education George E. Willetts of Calhoun county. Populist. The above ticket was nominated by the state conventions of the Democrats, Populists and Silver Republicans of Michigan. It represents an equal dis tribution between the three parties. The ticket was ratified in joint conven tion last night. The platforms do not conflict on any essential point. That adopted by the Populists, is perhaps, less radical than heretofore; and at the request of the Populists a plank was inserted in the Democratic platform favoring the In itiative and referendum. The Silver Re publicans also modified their declara tion to make it more in accordance with the Democratic platform. The latter reaffirms allegiance to the Chicago platform of 1S06. It criticises mildly the present state administration, but does not mention the name of Pingree. The war plank reads as follows: "We favor a vigorous prosecution of the war with Spain, which was begun and is being waged in the interests of humanity and for the extension of po litical freedom. We urge the most lib eral supply of modern arms to our sol diers and the utmost energy in their shipments; we declare our conviction that there should be no cessation of effort until every righteous purpose shall have been achieved." The Democratic platform closes with a message of greeting to W. J. Bryan. ARMED WITH PEPPER And Other Things Women Start a Riot at Oshkosh. Oskosh, Wis., June 23. A serious riot occurred here today as a result of the wood workers' strike. Several hundred women armed with clubs, rocks, eggs and paper sacks of pepper gathered at the south end of Light street bridge near the .Morgan sash, door and blind factory and waited for workmen en deavoring to enter the factory. The police were powerless to disperse the mob and not a man was allowed to en ter the factory even the proprietors be ing driven back' by threats of violence. Non-union laborers were singled out and chased for blocks, a number of them being struck by stones and eggs. As a consequence the plant was ordered closed down and the manufacturers are now holding a conference with the city officials. A similar riot on a small scale oc curred last night, during which one man had his nose smashed by a stone. Serious trouble is anticipated as the strikers are feeling ugly. Several in cendiary fires in the past few days are laid to the strikers and it is feared a resort to force may result in further at tempts in this direction. CLOSES TOMORROW. Ottawa Assembly May Hereafter Be Held in August. Ottawa, June 23. The attendance at the Ottawa Chautauqua assembly has gradually increased as the weather has become more settled. The classes are all doing good work this week. Yesterday a concert took the place of the regular afternoon lecture hour, and was in every particular a success. Behr's orchestra, every member of which is a soloist, rendered overtures, solos and accompaniments. The trom bone solo deserves special mention. Mme. Bailey and Mrs. Huff received hearty encore. A quartette composed of Mme. Bailey, Mrs. Huff and Messrs. Tipton and Chambers assisted by the chorus and orchestra rendered "The Bridal Chorus" from "The Rose Maid en," which was the climax of the con cert. Last night Rev. Sam P. Jones deliv ered his lecture on "The World as it is, and as it ought to be." The tabernacle was filled to its utmost. This afternoon he lectures on "Why I am not an Agnostic." Friday is closing day, and while the attendance has not been up to former years the high standard of the assembly has been maintained, and everybody in attendance has been well satisfied. There is talk of changing the future assemblies to the month of August so as to avoid the rainy season. Young Cecil Elected. London, June 23.

A New Class of Transport Ships is Needed. Washington, June 23. Assistant Sec retary Meiklejohn is considering the advisability of acquiring vessels spec ially adapted for cattle carrying pur poses for the use of the war depart ment in transporting hereafter such animals as may be necessary in the West Indian expeditions. The exper ience of the horses and the mules.which were taken with Gen. Shaffer's army demonstrated to the officials that some provision ought to be made which with in a reasonable degree will insure the safety and comfort of the animals- while on the trip. The press reports from the expedition show that a num ber of the animals fared very badly and some of them died presumably from the lack of accommodations suitable for transportation. There are a number of trans-Atlantic vessels engaged in the cattle carrying trade especially fitted out for this pur pose which the department believes can be secured for the use of the United States army and which would carry the animals safely to their destination without any serious consequences. An agent of the quartermaster's de partment is now in Montreal inspect ing a number of British vessels which have been offered to the department for transport purposes. He expects to return to the city today to report. The following trans-Atlantic liners have been offered to the government: The Adriatic, Furst Bismarck, The City of Rome. All these are large vessels capable of carrying a great many men and would be extremely valuable to the govern ment for transport purposes if they are secured. A ROAD MANUAL For Use of the Army in Cuba Prepar ed by General Stone. Washington, June 23. Brlg.Gen.Stone now on the staff of Major Gen. Miies, has prepared a manual for the use of troops operating in Cuba, covering the most expeditious means of cutting mil itary roads through the tangled tropical vegetation, swamps and underbrush through which the American army must push its way in Cuba. Gen. Stone was the road expert of the agricultural department, but on the breaking out of the war. Secretary Alger asked that he be assigned to the military service, with a view to making his expert knowledge available to road building through Cuba. He has made a study of Cuban soil, vegetation and timber growth and besides a personal acquaintance with the country he has collected number of photographs, maps, etc., which show in detail the topography and the vegeta tion of the island. With his material in hand. Stone has framed his manual for military roads in Cuba, which has with in the last few days been distributed to commanding officers for their guidance. In opening roads through Cuba, Gen. Stone makes good use of the guava tree, or brush, which grows in luxur ious abundance throughout the island. He gives diagrams by which this is to be cut, and the boughs bound up, mak ing a compact roll about the size of a small, log. These guava bundles, known as fascines, are laid lengthwise, one row of bundles lapping over another like shirgles. There are successive lay ers of this, bound together making a serviceable roadway, strong enough for troops and even for field ordnance. The manual lays down the following general plan for Cuban road making: "If the road is an important one, it should have about 16 feet of travel way and to allow for ditches on either side, the ground should be cleared at least 30 feet wide. Running through a wooded country, the advance or clearing party should be equipped with axes, mach ettes, bush scythes, and a few forks, and should be instructed to cut and clear away all vines, weeds and small undergrowth and to bind up into bun dles, all small bushes less than an inch in diameter at the ground, these bun dles to be kept for repairs of roads. If there is heavy timber the second gang, equipped with axes and saws, will chop all trees, leaving the root in the ground and saw the trees into such lengths as will allow the legs to be hauled or roll ed off the roadway." It is then provided that the third gang, equipped with hatchet3 and twine will cut the bushes and make the fas cines or bundles to be used for the road bed.

Governor Leedy Has Undertaken the Distribution of Supplies Con tributed. Governor Leedy has taken steps to facilitate the distribution of supplies for sick soldiers. He has received a dispatch from the surgeon general say ing that the soldiers are not in need of anything. "It must be remembered," said Gov ernor Leedy in commenting upon the telegram, "that while the soldiers may have everything necessary, that the government does not furnish anything like ice, lemons, .jellies or anything of that kind nor any underclothing or night shirts. "Anything of that kind will be grate fully received, I am sure and I have made arrangements to see that the sol diers get what is intended for them. It would be a mistake to send it to the hospitals for anything sent in that way is taken to the division hospital and distributed and nine times out of ten it will not go to the persons for whom it is intended." Govenor Leedy says that any money sent to him will be properly receipted for and forwarded to tha proper per sons. He has also made arrangements for the following persons to act as dis tributing agents for the Kansas troops: Col. Fred Funston of the Twentieth regiment, at San Francisco. Mrs. F. Armstrong for the Twenty first regiment, at Chickamauga. Mrs. Major A. M. Harvey with the Twenty-second regiment, at Falls Church. CHAMBERLAIN TO RETIRE. Dissatisfied, He Will Head the Un ionists in Opposing Foreign Policy. London, June 23. It Is rumored that Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, will shortly resign from the ministry in order to assume the leadership of a large number of Unionists in the house of commons, who are discontented with the foreign pol icy of the government. There seems to be no doubt that Mr. Chamberlain is dissatisfied with his present position, and if affairs in the far east and West Africa take the turn he expects, his friends believe that he will not remain in the cabinet to share the shipwreck ot a policy he never approved. Whatev er may be the outcome, the disquieting idea is undoubtedly prevalent in con servative circles that Mr. Chamber lain contemplates some sensational move, and the extent to which this is credited shows how little Mr. Chamber lain can count upon Tory confidence.
