Linares has succumbed to his wounds, but the statement is not confirmed. The Spanish government has no news from Aguadores, nor from the rein lurcements from Manzanillo under Generals Escarija and Fareja. Secretary Long is Happy. vi ismngton, July 4. Gen. Miles met with Secretary Long at his hotel short ly after 9 o'clock, at which the present necessity for sending troops to Shaffer's relief was discussed. Later Secretary Long said that whether troops would be dispatched according to the plans agreed upon yet would depend entirely upon the news received today. The secretary was in high spirits over Sampson's great victory yesterday and the favorable news from Dewey. He was hopeful that today's news would show that the capitulation or destruction of Santiago was a question of only a very short time. 24 Hours' Truce. "Washington, July 4. The sec.-etary of war has received a lengthy and most Important dispatch from Shafter. It is the one which has excited much rumor, but the essential points can now be given authoritatively. It states Shafter has demanded the surrender of Santi ago at noon tomorrow on pain of bom bardment. Thereupon the foreign con suls at Santiago made a joint represen tation, requesting that women and chil dren in the city have until Tuesday noon to withdraw before the bombard ment begins. The Spanish general de clined to surrender at the time first set by Shafter. At present a truce exists, pending the expiration of the 24 hours asked for by the foreign consuls. Decline to Surrender. Washington, July 4. It is now said by the war department officials that there is a general dispatch from Shafter regarding the demand for surrender of Santiago, terms, etc. The mention of "truce" in Shafter's dispatch given out further confirms the report that terms of surrender have been considered. Gen. Shafter wires that the Spanish at Santiago have declined to surrender the town and that he has given them until noon tomorrow before he will bom bard the town. Then he will proceed to final and most aggressive operations: Everything in the telegram, is an nounced to be very favorable. McKinley to Sampson. Washington, July 4. The following message was sent to Admiral Sampson today by the president: To Admiral Sampson, Playa del Este. Ton have the gratitude and congratu lations of the whole American people. Convey to your noble officers and crews through whose valor new honors have been added to the Americans, the grate ful thanks and appreciation of the na tion.. (Signed) WM. M'KINLEY. Watson Will Go at Once. Washington, July 4. Secretary Day, Secretary Alger, Secretary Long, Gen. Miles and Admiral Sicard have been in conference with the president going over the Cuban question. Secretary Long said that Watson's fleet would be sent to the Spanish coast immediately. Cause For Celebration. Washington, July 4. Glorious news from Cuba affords the American peo ple cause for the celebration of this, the nation's holiday. Admiral Sampson has accomplished the work which he was directed to perform when he left Key West for the coast of Cuba. He was ordered to find and destroy Cer vera's fleet. Several weeks ago Com modore Schley located the fleet in the bay of Santiago. Testerday, after be ing bottled helpless in the harbor for weeks the fleet was destroyed. Nothing now remains of the Spanish squadron but shattered and burning hulks. In addition to the splendid work ac complished by Admiral Sampson, Gen eral Shafter, in command of the land forces before Santiago, had so far pro gressed in the carrying out of his plans for the reduction of the city that at 10:30 yesterday morning he demanded the immediate surrender of the Spanish forces. At 3:30 yesterday afternoon General Shafter's demand had not been complied with, so far as was officially known. That the demand will be com plied with, however. General Shafter fully believes and that the stars and stripes will on this Fourth of July be raised over the former capital of Cuba is regarded as practically certain. Shortly after 12 o'clock this morning Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen left the White House hastily, and, go ing directly to the department, posted the following on the bulletin board: Rejoicing at Washington. Washington, July 4. Inspiring, glor ious news thrilled every avenue of offi cial life and stirred every heart in the national capital today, making it in deed a glorious Fourth of July. Word came from Shafter, from Sampson and from Dewey, telling of successes al ready achieved and those near at hand. The wildest and most indescribable enthusiasm greeted Admiral Sampson's dispatch announcing the complete an nihilation of Admiral Cervera's fleet and the surrender of the admiral him self with 1,300 Spanish prisoners. Cheer after cheer rang through the corridors of the state war and navy building. A surging mass of newspaper corres pondents was sharing in the cheers. To boards and hundreds of officials and clerks crowded up to hear the stirring news. First the hurrahs started in the navy department, but as word passed along the cry was taken up until every hall and corridor echoed with the cheers of victory. Soon the news spread outside and ran to the Fourth of July crowds until the whole national capital was sharing in the cheers. To say that the glad tidings were welcome to the president and his advisors, but faintly tells the sentiments it inspired. Among them and in all official quarters, it was accepted not only as a glorious victory on the national day of the re public, but one which dealt such a deadly blow to Spain that she could not rise again. Several of Shafter's dispatches were made public. One of the stated that he hand the enemy surrounded on the north and east. Another the statement: "I feel that I am master of the situa- TOPEKA, KANSAS, JULY 4, Admiral Sampson, who annihilated Spain's entire fleet off Santiago's shores, captured 1,300 prisoners, includin g Spain's great Admiral Cervera, and lost but one man, the bpaniardjs losing several hundred. tion and can hold the enemy for any length of time." In still another, Gen. Shafter said his demand for the surrender of Santiago was still being considered by the Span ish authorities. Yet another dispatch from Shafter, probably the most im portant of all, was not made public up to 1 o'clock. It is of great length, covering five or six type written sheets of telegraph paper. Briefly and semi officially its contents were summed up as follows: Gen. Shafter made a demand for the surrender of Santiago. This was at first refused by the Spanish commander but the demand was apparently taken under consideration. Gen. Shafter's notice was that he would begin the bombarding of the city today unless the surrender was made. Fearing the awful results of bombardment the representatives of foriirn countries stationed at Santiago assembled and asked that another day be given for the women, children and non-combatants to be taken out of the city. It is thought under the cir cumstances, that Gen. Shafter would give a reasonable timefortheremovalof the women and children. At all events a period of inaction followed with the expectation that the surrender will be made by tomorrow noon, or else that the bombardment will begin. The news from Dewey was equally stirring in character. His official dis patch bore the Hong Kong date of July 4, although it came trom avne July 1. It told not only of the arrival of the first expedition, but of the cap ture of Guam, La.lrone islands, with its garrison of six officers and 54 men and the surrender of the gunboat Leyte with 52 officers and 4 men. 4,000 Men on the Way.

An official dispatch received here from Santiago de Cuba says Admiral Cervera's fleet has suc ceeded in making a "sortie" from San tiago. No details are given. The min ister for war. Gen. Correa, has received a dispatch from Santiago de Cuba, giv ing the Spanish losses during the two days' fighting at "200 killed and wound ed." A later official dispatch from Santiago says: Admiral Cervera's squadron made a sortie from Santiago, traversing the channel without incident. But a heavy cannonading was heard outside the harbor and it is supposed a naval bat tle was proceeding. Gen. Escarija's column has forced its way through the American lines and has entered Santiago. Spain Will Not Yield. London, July 4. A special from Mad rid quotes Premier Sagasta as saying 1898. ANOTHER GREAT HERO. V jWK. in an interview that he thought, the. Americans "would get the reinforce ments they had required which would enable them to take Santiago de Cuba." The premier is said to have added: "Though the American warships may destroy our squadron in the harbor, yet we wiil pursue the war. There are in Cuba 100,000 men ready to die in its de fense, but they will not yield." Santiago Well Invested. Washington, July 4. From the heat and carnage of the battlefield of Santiago, where for the last three days the Ameri can forces have been pressed forward against an intrenched enemy. General Shafter has sent the following dispatch summarizing the situation: "Playa del Este. July 3. "To the Secretary of War, Washington: "Camp Near Sevilla, Cuba, July 3. We have the town well invested in the north and east, but with a very thin line. Up on approaching it we find it of such a character and the defense so strong it will be impossible to carry it by storm with my present forces. Our losses up to date will aggregate a thousand, but list has not yet been made. But little sick ness outside of exhaustion from intense heat and exertion of the battle of day be fore yesterday and the almost constant lire which is kept up on tf e trenches. "Wagon road to the rear is kept up with soma difficulty on account of rains, but I will be able to use it for the present. General Wheeler is seriously ill and will probably have to go to the rear today. General Young is also very ill confined to his bed. General Hawkins slightly wound ed in foot during sortie made last night, which was handsomely repulsed. "The behavior of the troops was mag nificent. General Garcia reported he holds the railroad from Santiago to San Luis and has burned a bridge and remov ed some rails, also that General Pando has arrived at Palmo and that the French consul, with about 4o;) French citizens, came into his line yesterday from Santi ago. Have directed him to treat them with every courtesy possible. "SHAFTER. "Major General." Secretary Alger sent the following reply to General Shafter: "To General Shafter: The president di rects me to sav that you have the grati tude and thanks of the nation for the brilliant and effective work of your noble army on Friday. July 1. The steady valor and heroism of officers and men thrill the American people with pride. The country mourns the brave' men who fell in battle. They have added new names to our roll of heroes. "R. A. ALGER, Secretary of War." Santiago Torn to Pieces. When it became known that he American commander at Santiago had reported the defenses to be sq strong it would be impossible to carry them by storm with his present force, t,here was momentarily a wave of deep apprehen sion. But this was not shared by the military authorities here. All their en ergies, all their attention, was turned to meeting the situation as presented bv General Shafter. There was neither time nor disposition to take account of j what had gone before, when tne tact was plain that the American army had fought its way inch by inch, under a blazing sun, through a dense tropical vegetation, steadily advancing and beating back the foe, taking position afLer position, until, as General Shafter reported, the town was well invested on the north and east by the long drawn out line of American troops. That was a sufficient tribute to the valor of our brave men, and it silenced all cavil over conditions now presented by General Shafter. It was a time for action, for rein- MONDAY EVENING. forcements, and toward the execution of this end, every effort of the adminis tration was at once turned. Put there was other information of a different tenor, coming about the same time. The American army was not alone feeling the effects of this three days! shock of arms. Definite, positive information-was at hand, that Santiago had been literally torn to pieces and that in the wreck and ruin of demolish ed buildings and Spanish casualties numbered fully 1,000. This was a fitting off-set to any qualms raised by the reports from the American lines. This information came from one of the for eign consuls stationed at Santiago, who reported to the representatives of his country in Washington the fearful hav oc within the city wrought by the American army and the fleet. The distress of the city, even before the battle, was clearly shown by the ac tion of this consul in serving out ra tions of one-half pound daily to his fel low countrymen, a few hundred in num ber, for the last month. Evidently there was no food to buy; the Spanish mil itary forces had taken every available pound: only by this official distribution of rations to the foreign colony could they be kept from starvation. Then came the brief but graphic recital of the terrible effect of the American at tack from land and sea. The-bursting shells from our fleet had done the greatest damage inside of the city. Buildings were riddled with rifle shot, and mown down with the huge shells and solid projectiles from the ships. Most serious of all, the Spanish com mander. General Linares, occupying a place similar to that of General Shaft er in the American army, was seriously wounded. Pando's Forces Arrive. Washington, July 4. Gen. Miles has received the following telegram from Gen. Shafter dated Playa del Este, July 3. "Headquarters Fifth Army corps Killed a Spanish general in af fair at Caney and a large number of officers and men who are still unburied. Gen. Linares' arm was broken. My de mand for surrender of Santiago still being considered by the Spanish author ities. Pando has arrived near the break in the railroad with his advance. I think he wiil be stopped." Also the following from Assistant Ad jutant General Wagner at same place and time: "Pando is six miles north with 5,000 troops. Garcia opposes him with 3,000. Lawton can support Garcia and pre vent junction with the forts." Gen. Miles sent the following dispatch to Gen. Shafter before the news of the destruction of the fleet: Headquarters of the Army, Wash ington, July 3. To Gen. Shafter, Playa del Este, Cuba: "Accept my hearty congratulations on the record made of magnificent forti tude, gallantry and sacrifice displayed in the desperate fighting of the troops before Santiago. I realize the hard ships, difficulties and sufferings and am proud that amid those terrible scenes the troops illustrated such fearless and patriotic devotion to the welfare of our common country and flag. Whatever the results to follow their unsurpassed deeds of valor, the past is already a gratifying chapter of history. I expect to be with you within one week with strong reinforcements. (Signed "MILES, "Maj. Gen. Com." Shafter's Reply. Gen. Shafter's reply is as follows: "Playa. To. Maj. Gen. Miles. Washing TWO CENTS. ton. Headquarters Fifth Army Corps, near Santiago, July 3. I thank you in the name of the gallant men I have the honor to command for splendid tribute of praise which you have accorded them. They bore themselves as Amer ican soldiers always have. Your tele gram will be published at the head of tne regiments in the mornintr. I feel that I am master of the situation and can hold the enemy for any length of time. I am delighted to know that you are coming, that you may see for your self, the obstacles which this army had to overcome. My only regret is the great number of gallant souls who have given their lives for our country's cause. (Signed.) SHAFTER." Shatter in Control. Washington, July 4. Gen. Miles has received two dispatches from Gen. Shafter this morning. In one Shafter says: "I feel that I am master of the sit uation and can hold the enemy for any length of time." In the other Gen. Shafter says: "My demand for surrender of Santiago still being considered by Spanish authori ties." One of these dispatches was in re sponse to congratulations from Gen. Miles, in the course of which he said: "I expect to be with you in one week, with strong reinforcements." Gen. Shafter's answer expressed de light at Gen. Miles coming in order that he might see the obstacles encoun tered. Sampson Had to Do It During the almost ceaseless conflict of Friday and Saturday, reports show that the Spanish fleet did awful execu tion by shelling American troops. It is regarded as unlikely, that with the fleet lying in the bay, General Shafter's forces would have been able safely to occupy Santiago. After the reduction and capture of the outer defenses of the city by General Shafter, it became necessary that Admiral Cervera's fleet be eliminated from the equation. Its elimination was executed by Admiral Sampson, thus leaving the way open for the continued advance of Shafter's troops upon the city. News at Washington Washington, July 4. Adjutant Gen eral Corbin voiced the feelings of every one of the officials when he said: "I don't care how the fleet was de stroyed. It was destroyed. That is enough for me. It is great news for the Fourth of July." The fleet of Admiral Cervera was one of the finest Spain possessed. Three of the vessels, the Almirante Oquendo, the Vizcaya and the Cristobal Colon, were- modern armored cruisers of the first class. The Vizcaya which visited this country soon after the Maine was sent to Havana and was in New York har bor when the news of the destruction of the American battleship was taken to her commander. She was of 7,000 tons displacement, 340 feet long, and heavily armored, her belt armor being 12 inches in thickness and her deck armor three inches. Her armament consisted of two 11-inch, ten 5-inch Hontoria guns, eight 2.2 inch rapid fire guns, eight 1.4 inch rapid fire guns and two mitrail leuses. She had two masts with mili tary tops, two turrets, two smokesacks and a ram bow. She carried six tor pedo tubes, was capable of a speed rate of 20 knots and her complement was 500 men. The Almirante Oquendo was in al most every respect a duplicate of the Vizcaya. The Chrietobal Colon, had a displace ment of 68.40 tons and was 32S feet long. She had six inch armor, both at the water line and at the gun position and 1.5 inch deck armor. Her armament consisted of two 10-inch, ten 6-inch rap id fire guns, six 4.7 inch, ten 2.2 inch and ten 1.4 inch guns, two mitrailleuses and four torpedo tubes. She was capa ble of a speed of 20 knots and carried a complement of 450 men. Of the re maining vessels of the fleet the Furor and Terror were torpedo boat destroy ers and the Riena Mercedes was an old vessel that was sunk a short time ago by a shell from Sampson's fleet. The Terror was not with the fleet at Santi ago, but is supposed to be at San Juan, Porto Rico, undergoing repairs made necessary by an encounter with the St. Paul a few days ago. In addition to the above mentioned vessels there were two torpedo boats and a collier in the Spanish fleet origi nally. Whether the collier was at San tiago or not is not known. Shatter's Dispatch. General Shafter telegraphed: "Playa del Este, July 3. "Early this morning I sent a demand for the immediate surrender of San tiago, threatening to bombard the city. I believe the place will be surrendered." This contradicts the report that Gen eral Shafter has fallen back. The information contained in the above statements was received early in the evening, but it was not announced officially until several hours later. As a result of its receipt, however, a con ference of prominent officials was held at the White House immediately. Those present at the conference besides the president, were V ice President Ilobart, Secretary Day, Secretary Long, Secre tary Alger, Postmaster General Smith, General Miles, Adjutant General Cor bin. General Guy V. Henry and Senator Hanna. The information was discussed in all its phases. The news sent by General Shafter and Lieutenant Colonel Allen was received with intense satis faction. It was taken to indicate not only that Admiral Sampson had ac complished magnificently the task to which he had been set, but it was clearly proved that General Shafter was in a much stronger position than the war officials had been led to be lieve he held. One of the officials who attended the conference said, after the news had been officially announced that it very materially modified the serious ness of the situation. The destruction of the fleat, which was not confirmed un til a few minutes before the news was given to the public, removed by far the most serious obstruction toward the capture of Santiago by the land forces. Reinforcements For Shafter. Washington, July 4. The officials hope to rush the reinforcements to General Shafter so that there will be from ..wu to 30.0iJO men under his command witmn the next ten days, and sooner if this can be arranged. Jhis is exclusive of the insurgents, of whom General Garcia tias been able to bring to General Shaffer s command approximately 4,tM men. mere were about 15.0m) men and officers in the expedition that set out from Tampa less than a month ago. These have since been reinforced by troops of Brigadier General Dufneld's command, amounting to AIM men and consisting of the Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth Michigan and the ntn. Massachusetts regiments. The First l.iod fCor.tinued on Fifth Pase.1

The following figures from the forth coming report of the labor commissioner concerning the meat packing industry in Kansas show to what an extent that industry has grown: The raw material used by the six packing houses in Kansas last year cost $57,015,682. The value of the pro duct finished and ready for market was Jt2,426,117 and the total weight of the output was 1,019,349.894 pounds. The report shows that the six packing houses paid $3,914,D06 for labor to a total of 7,540 employees during the year. Of the employees, 6,858 were men and 682 women and girls. The average earnings for the year for all help, skilled and unskilled, were $541 for men and $291' for women. Skilled laborers received from $2 a day upward, the average being $2,505 a day for men. and $1.41 for women. Unskilled laborers received an average of $1.60 for men and 93 cents a day for women. Only one plant reported an increase of wages over the previous year. The increase was 5 per cent. The report Is incom plete on the subject of the market. The four companies that reported handled only half the total product but their report shows some interesting facts. They marketed in Kansas 29, 601, 2S8 pounds of their products, in other states 390,695,975, and exported 136,433,738. The six packing houses represent an Investment of $15,117,202. HE SOFTENS DE HEART. An Argument Against the Appoint ment of Army Chaplains. Judge John Martin, clerk of the su preme court, relates the following story of a conversation he overheard between two colored recruits on the steps of the capitol: 'They tell me that we ain't goln' to .get no chaplain. That is too bad, too bad," said the first man who had just enlisted. "Dat Is all right I tells you, It is all right." said the second recruit. "De fact Is dat we don't want no chaplain. We wlil do better without one. De chap lain will preach kindness and mercy. He will soften de heart so we won't stick a bayonet Into a Spaniard when we sees one. I tell you what we want is something to harden de heart so dat when we see de Spaniard we will go right at him and run de bayonet right through him." The reason the colored battalions are not entitled to a chaplain is because there are not enough troops to com plete a regiment and it requires a com plete regiment to be entitled to a chap lain.

Miller Lumber company at 213 East Sixth street, was blown to pieces some time last night with dynamite, and is a total wreck. The time it was done is not known as there was shooting and firing of cannon crackers going on all through the night and the noise of the dynamite explosion would not be noticed above the other noise. The safe was about four feet square and Ave feet in height. It stood in the southwest corner of the lumber office. This office is a brick building 12 by 20 feet. In front of the safe and separated by a few feet there was a high desk coun ter. The office had three doors and three windows in it. The burglar entered at the rear by forcing open the rear door. There is a coal shed in connection with the rear of the office which afforded an easy hiding place both in entering, and dur ing the time of the explosion. The outside door of the safe was bor ed into, a" hole three-fourths of an inch being drilled about the center of it, and a few inches to the t ide of the combina tion knob. Through this was slipped a stick of dynamite and the explosion fol lowed with terrific force. The front door of the safe was blown out, and also blown to pieces. The outer steel shell was twisted and blown apart and the concrete which was used as a filling was thrown out on the floor in large chunks. The inner door was torn from its fastenings and Tell on the floor. The wall and window casing adja cent to the safe were blown away, large chunks of brick and mortar being bro ken out. The front of the desk counter was badly damaged. All three windows in the office were blown out by the force of the concussion. J. B. Heck, bookkeeper, for the lum ber concern, was notified of the safe having been blown, and the police and sheriff were notified. -An investigation was made which revealed the fact that the work was undoubtedly that of a professional safe-- blower. Two cold chisels and a large iron bar were found in the office. Mr. Heck said: "I haven't been able to find out what time this occurred. No one seems to have heard it. There was but little money In the safe. I took the money to bank Saturday morning at 11:30 and after that I paid off the men at the lumber yard. There couldn't have been much money there. Mr. Mil ler is out of the city." "Was there as much as $50 in the safe?" was asked. "No, I don't think there was," said Mr. Heck. REVOLUTION. Montevideo in a State of Siege Soldiers Mutiny.

3 HAND TOj. General Lawton's Men Engage the Spaniards At Close Quarters In the Streets of Santiago. LIST OF CASUALTIES. Sanies of Killed and Wounded as Far as Known. Loss in Saturday's Battle Less Than on Friday. TOPEKA STATE JOUENAL, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 180S. (Copyright, 1S98, by Associated Press.) Siboney, Cuba, July 2, by the Asso ciated Dispatch Boat Dauntless, via Port Antonio and Kingston, July 3. 1 The fighting on the right of our line this afternoon developed unexpected, and for some hours, almost as severe firing as yesterday (Friday), when General Lawton was assaulting El Caney. The Spanish made an attack in force on our position, pouring in volley aiter volley in quick succession and with re markable regularity. Our return fire was certainly effective and continued strong after the Spanish volleys had become rarer and less heavy. Mean while the batteries on Grimes Hill kept booming away at the middle of the enemy's line, materially aiding the flanking movement. The shelling from the Spanish fleet was less active and apparently gave our left but little con cern. At this hour a report has just reached here that General Lawton aided by fresher regiments sent him early in the afternoon, has turned the enemy's left and has troops already in the city, where almost a hand to hand encounter is going on in the streets. The situation when the Associated shown in an earlier dispatch was such that the capture of the city tonight (Saturday) would not be surprising, al though General Shafter himself, when the correspondent left him three hours ago did not expect it. General Shafter, however, sent word this afternoon to General Garcia that the surrender of the city would not be long delayed. A conservative estimate by army men not ofiicial is that our casualties during yesterday's fighting were nearly if not quite a thousand, about 15 per cent of which were deaths. Today's casualties on the American side were much lower because our troops had been well entrenched the night before. The following is the latest list of the casualties in the battle before Santiago, so far as obtainable: Killed- CAPTAIN MORRIS, Company K, Sixteenth infantrv. SECOND LIEUT. BENCHLET, Com pany E.

Shafter is still more or less ail ing, so that his headquarters has been moved as far forward as would be most convenient, but he has directed the general movements of his army though lying most of the time on a cot, or in a hammock attended by a surgeon. There were many cases of prostration from heat among the men from the Ninth Massachusetts and the two Mich igan regiments, all of whom were land ed only this morning and pushed at once to the front to reinforce our wear ied men of the firing line.

Grain Inspector Culver's New Rule Helps Shippers. W. W. Culver, chief of the Kansas grain inspection department, with head quarters in Kansas City, Kan., said last night that the operation of the war revenue bill will impose no additional burdens on the handlers of grain in Kansas City and at Kansas points so far as his department is concerned. The fee for inspection, he said, will be re duced from 25 cents to 15 cents per car; thus with the reduced inspection fee and a 10-cent stamp on every certificate of inspection the handlers of grain will pay the same amount of money into the inspection department they did be fore the war revenue lav became oper ative. "I intended on July 1 to reduce the grain inspection fee to 15 cents, any way," the chief inspector said. "My de- partment is not run for the purpose of making money for the state, and baseti on the work of the lest year I find that 15 cents for each inspection certificate will yield enough money to pay the ex penses of the department." The Kansas grain inspection depart ment will be a large buyer of war rev enue stamps under the new law. For every car of wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, flax or millet that leaves the state a certificate of inspection is is sued, and for each certificate of inspec tion or duplicate certificate furnished by the department a 10-cent war reve nue stamp is required. In Kansas City, Kan., alone an average of about 400 cars of grain are inspected for each day of the year. This means $40 for war revenue stamps every day. During the big rush of wheat to the market this autumn, however, the inspections will be from 1,000 to 1,500 cars a day and the revenue stamps will cost from $100 to $150 a day. BUT LITTLE SICKNESS. Twenty-Second Kansas is Making Good Progress in Tactics. Camp Alger, Falls Church, Va., June 29. The Twenty-second Kansas volun teers are in the pink of condition. A great many reports have been sent out by various correspondents in this and other regiments regarding the sickness of the Twenty-second, all of which are greatly exaggerated and false. Those who have been sick are nearly recovered from the measles. Every day there are from eight to ten from each company who are on the sick list, some have headaches, seme sore lungs, throat or arm, the latter caused by vaccina tion, but no serious disease of any kind is prevalent. The progress in tactics under the supervision of Col. H. C. Lindsey, Ma jors Doster and Harvey, is wonderful, considering the time we have been in camp and training. The recruits that left Topeka the 22nd of June to fill the Twenty-second to its quota were treated with the greatest courtesy and favor all along the line but more especially in the towns of Lafayette and Lebonon, Ind., where the citizens turned out in full force to greet and feed us. There was enough handed in to the boys at those two places to last the entire 300 two days and then a great .deal was wasted. The boys desire to express their thanks to the Big 4 and Cheseapeake Ohio railways for their magnificent treatment of them from Chicago to the camp. On leaving Chicago the entire party was furnished with Pullman and Wagner sleepers. The Y". M. C.

The first authentic details surrounding the last moments on earth of Captain Charles V. Gridley have been received here by his family in a letter from Paymaster Gait, who had been assigned to care for the in valid and bring him home. The latter states that Captain Grid ley had been ill for several weeks be fore the fight and arose from a sick bed to assume his duties on that glor ious day. He remained on duty con tinuously, suffering from a rupture, which was so aggravated that frequent hemorrhages occurred. After the battle he was ordered home. The band of the Olyrnpia played "Auld Lange Syne," as the commander left his ship, never again to return. On the Coptic, en route to Yokohama, the ship's surgeons informed him thai the hemorrhages would result in death. The captain with unshaken fortitude replied: "The battle of Manila killed me, but I would do it again if neces sary." Twenty-four hours before death he lapsed into unconsciousness after send ing long messages to his wife and chil dren. The funeral services were held In an English church, the American consul making an address. The officers of the Coptic attended the ceremonies in full uniform and the Japanese com mander sent 100 marines as a guard o honor. Eight blue jackets from the United States hospital carried the coffin from the boat to the hearse, the casket be ing draped in American flags. The pall bearers were Paymaster McDonald, Dr. Anderson, TJ. S. N., the American minister, the U. S. consul, two English naval officers and Paymaster Gait. ONE EYED FIGHTERS. Bcney Tank of Lumpkin, 6a., Would Organize Against Spain. Atlanta, Ga.,July 4. A one-eyed com pany of volunteers to fight for the Cu ban, in recognition of the nomination, of Col. Candler, a one-eyed confederate veteran, for the governorship of Geor gia, is a suggestion just made by Boney Tank of Lumpkin county. Mr. Tank himself is one-eyed, and for this reason warmly supported Mr. Candler's candi day. His proposition now is that since one-eyed men have swept the political deck in Georgia there is no reason why they should not be equally victorious over the Spaniards. Col. Candler has given his Indorse ment to Mr. Tank's proposition. Mr. Tank will accept the honor of the cap taincy of this company, which he pro poses to organize from among the able bodied one-eyed confederate veterans of Georgia. REAR CHOKED TO DEATH. The Pet Was Tied to a Buggy Wheel. Kansas City, July 4. H. J. Hill, of Independence, mourns the loss of a pet bear which he prized very highly. Bruin met an untimely and ignominius death in a very commonplace but painful manner. He was tied to a buggy wheel to prevent him from running away. Whether he objected to this modifica tion of the ancient Roman custom of fastening captives to chariot wheels or whether it was just a plain case of "wheels" is npt known. It may have been suicide or it may have been acci dent, but all indications point to the latter supposition. At any rate the bear was choked to death and there was an imposing funeral conducted by the boys of the neighborhood, with) whom bruin was a special favorite.

THREE DAYS AS DEAD. Peculiar Case of Suspended. Anima tion at Chicago. Chicago, July 4. The first case of suspended animation reported to the health officer in many years recently came under the observation of the au thorities. After remaining in a cata leptic condition three and one-half days Mrs. Euphemia Oxnam revived suffi ciently to show that life was not ex tinct, and soon after, passed away. Mrs. Oxnam, who was a woman of advanced years, was taken ill and soon became unconscious. Dr. E. S. Atwood was called, and when he arrived the woman was to all appearances dead. The physician applied the various tests generally used and was convinced that life was extinct. After repeated tests, however, an oc casional flutter of the heart was dis covered. Late that night the doctor left the house greatly puzzled over the case. The next day he called and made anoth er examination. There were still no signs of respiration and the heart ac tion was so faint as to be barely dis cernable at intervals. From other members of the family Dr. Atwood learned that ten years be fore the patient had passed into a state of unconsciousness and been pro nounced dead. This happened while the family resided in the east. The body was prepared for interment and her friends mourned her as dead. Shortly before the hour set for the burial Mrs. Oxnam startled the members of the family by rising in her coffin and in quiring what the trouble was all about. When this incident was related Dr. Atwood had no hesitation in pronounc ing the case one of suspended anima tion. He remained by the side of the patient watching for some signs of life, but without avail. She has been buried. FELL FOUR STORIES. New York Woman Jumps to Escape a Fire, and is Uninjured. New Tork. July 4. During a fire in a tenement Mrs. Esther Bernstein, who had been cut off from escape by smoke and flames, jumped out of a fourth story window to the court yard while her clothing was ablaze. She carried away a number of clothes-lines, but was uninjured by the fall. She was se verely burned by the fire, and is in a critical condition in Gouverneur hospit al. Mrs. Bernstein was cooking on an oil stove on the fourth lloor when the stove exploded, throwing oil over her. Mrs. Celia Falk, who lives on the floor below, heard the screams and started to get up stairs, but the smoke and flames drove her back. An alarm of fire was turned in meantime. Mrs. Bernstein made an effort to get to the roof, but she was cut off by fire, and she then jumped out the window, her clothing still ablaze. She fell in the court-yard entwined in clothes lines and with a heap of clothing from the lines on top of her, which put out the blaze. A surgeon from Gouverneur hospital found no injuries from the fall but she was severely burned about the body, less and neck. The inmates of both tenements, com prising thirty families, rushed out in a state bordering upon panic, but none was injured. The firemen put out the flames in half an hour. II1RSCU EVICTIONS. Model New Jersey Colonists Coma to Grief. New Tork, July 4. The future of the model colony, founded seven years ago by the late Baron Hirsch at Wood bine, N. J., is threatened. There has been a continual strife between the lo cal management and many of the set tlers. It culminated some days ago when twelve farmers with their fami lies, numbering sixty persons, were evicted. The evicted men, many of whom are unable to understand English, and none of them knowing the law, protested in a weak way. In the fields in front of their homes is piled furniture of every description. Huddled together in a di lapidated hovel hardly fit for cattle, let alone human beings, are a number of the evicted people, who. were it not for sympathizing friends, would no doubt be starving. Myer Ilornstein, poorly clad and speaking but few words of English, i3 one of the pioneer settlers. He came here from Russia seven years ago. Hornstein's home was invaded by con stables bearing a writ of ejection. He is indebted to the Woodbine colony management $80. He offered to pay $32 on account, all the 'money he pos sessed in the world. His offer was rejected. Superintend ent Sabsovieh of the colony, when asked why the evictions had taken place, de clared that the colonists were in ar rears in their payments. He declared that most of those evicted could pay but would not. He Insisted also that Bar on Hirsch never meant Woodbine to be a charitable institution. It was In tended that all the settlers should be self-sustaining. The settlers had. from time to time, been financially assisted, although they were indebted to the Hirsch fund at present. There is no prospect of the evicted families going back to their homes, as watchmen will hold them oil at the point of revolvers. A TRAP FOR CYCLISTS. Lawyer Nicoll Objects to Their Riding on His Walk. Babylon, L. I., July 4. An antl-bi- cycle crusade is in progress here and it promises to end in the arrest of several prominent summer residents, who per sist in riding on the sidewalks. Law yer William Cx. Nicoll has been greatly annoyed by the members of the wheel ing population who use the sidewalks in front of his villa. A few days aRo his father was run into by a New Tork woman, who is here for the summer, and badly shaken up. Lawyer Nicoll contrived a scheme which he thought would be more ef fective than causing the arrest of the bicyclists. He built a sort of a tres tle work arrangement across the side walk to catch the wheels of the unsus pecting scorchers. The plan did not work as well as its inventor hoped. The cyclists got the tip as soon as it was placed in position, and rode over it with such care that none of them was thrown. Pedestrians complained of the ob struction on the walk, but the village trustees failed to order its removal. Some time last night the trap was torn up and the peices strewn along the walk. A little further down the street the signs which have been erected to warn cyclists off the walk were found shattered. Lawyer Nicoll declares that he will prosecute offenders hereafter.

PARSONS PAYS $2,000 For Accidental Killing of a Yisitor By a Rock Thrown From a Street Blast. Abilene, July 4. Two negroes who, at an early hour, tried to break into the furniture store of E. H. Romberger on Cedar street, adjoining the Eicholtz establishment, are peaking through the bars of the county jail, having been captured alive by Undertaker W. M. Eicholtz. Hearing a crash of glass Mr. Eicholtz concluded that a burglary was on and thinking his house was being entered, quickly rose, slipped on his trousers and securing his six-shooter, sallied quiet ly forth, to find that two thieves were breaking intoo the Romberger store. The men, covered with the revolver whose glistening barrel gleamed wick edly in the bright moonlight, held up their hands at the command and marched obediently ahead of their cap tor to the city hall, where Marshal Fa vor has his residence over the jail. The marshal was awakened and the men were then marched down to the county jail and locked up. The negroes, one tall and slender and the other tall and stout are tough looking fellows. They give the names of Harry Toung and Charles Smith and claim to hail respectively from Omaha, Neb., and Jacksonville, Fla. They claim to have gone into the alley to see what two men, who ran out, were doing, but the fact remains that when captured by Mr. Eicholtz they were tearing out the window of the Romber ger store. CRITICISE BEEIDENTHAL. Patrons of Abilene's Suspended Bank Think He Was Too Hasty. Abilene, July 4. The farmers all over the county met Saturday to see about the payment of their deposits in the suspended Thomas Kirby bank, and much feeling was manifested by those who have their all and all tied up in the institution. Many depended on the money to pay the harvest hands and they do not know what to do. The other banks of the town have been ac commodating and have helped many of the farmers along. They propose to buy much of the good paper that is in the assets of the bank and pay the cash to the receiver when appointed so that the first dividend will be larger for the depositors. There are many widows and single women among the depositors who are really suffering for the funds. The high rate of interest paid on de posits made them favor the bank for a depository. One Kansas Gity teach er had all her savings in the bank. A servant girl of Saiina had nearly $1,500, the careful savings of years. The heav iest loser is J. W. Gillett of Woodbine, who had $22,000. He will endeavor to have it made a trust fund because it was money sent here to pay off mort gages on cattle. It is now believed that the real estate will not make the large returns that were exjected and that about 75 per cent is all that the de positors will realize unless under unex pectedly favorable circumstances in the settlement of affairs. The depositors held a largely attend ed meeting and by a rising vote expres sed their confidence in Mr. Kirby's abil ity to straighten the bank's affairs bet ter than a receiver, and voted unani mously to ask the bank commissioner to allow him to resume business and have two years in which to pay off creditors, expressing a belief that thus he could pay depositors in full. It amounted to saying that Breidenthal had used bad judgment in closing the bank and asking him to reverse his ac tion. OFFERED FERVENT PRAYER. Police Commissioner Thanks God for Deliverance. Wichita, July 4. When the board of po lice commissioners abdicated their places Secretary Spencer of Governor Leedy's police board offered the following prayer, which appears of record in the police de partment: "Oh Lord, we thank thee that the hour of our deliverance has come. "We thank thee that thou in thy infinite mercy and goodness hast placed upon this earth one who has the power and will to relieve your commissioners from the odium and stench attached to this office. "We thank the that thou, through thy servant, oJhn W. Leedy, has seen fit to remove the commissioners from the paths of ward heelers and successful politicians, who have made the lives of your commis sioners miserable through their unsuccess ful attempts to control their board. "We pray thee, O Lord, to lend a help ing hand to our mayor, who is about to undertake the arduous duty of trying to please God and the people. And who, while younft, will grow gray with his many troubles, and when the gray hairs of sorrow appear upon his brow, comfort him.

The wheat harvest in Harper county has practically ended and it won't take long to harvest the oats crop. Reports from the cats crop are al most as varied as those from the wheat fields, but the crop is generally estimated as fair. Corn that is not too large will be thoroughly cultivated and cleared of weeds, and an effort will be made to clean out some of the weedy fields. There is a fair show for a corn crop where the corn has had a chance for its life, and quite a number of our farmers report the best prospect they have ever had. July will be a busy month unless It gets too dry to plow for wheat and at present the ground is in excellent condi tion. With the work on the corn fields, plowing wheat grounds and harvesting, the average farmer will not loaf much during July. ATCHISON BONDS DUE. City Will Make Arrangements to Re new the Obligations. Atchison, July 4. Atchison's $192,000 Issue of 7 per cent bonds, issued July 1, 18S8. to run thirty years, fell due Saturday. The bonds, with the final interest coupons at tached, are now in the Atchison banks for collection. The interest is being paid, but it is, of course, impossible to pay the prin cipal. Money must be borrowed by the city to complete the Interest payments. Although the mayor and council have been talking for more than a year about the necessity of refunding these bonds at 4 per cent, the council has no organized or systematic plan. A dealer in bonds was employed a year or so ago to refund the bonds, but he accomplished nothing. Mayor Donald has written letters to the holders of the bonds whose names he is in possesion of, and is trying to secure the names of others from the banks. Some of them want the city of Atchison to let the 7 per cent bonds stand until it is able to pay them off. Others want new 5 per cent bonds and several have agreed to take 4 per cent bonds. FIGHTING SCORPION. Armoured Yacht's Marines Constantly Seeking Engagements Washington, July 4. The most heavily armed of the yachts purchased on the rec ommendation of the naval auxiliary board is the Scorpion, formerly the Sovereign. She carries four 5-inch guns, six 6-pound-ers and two machine guns. Since her arrival in Cuban waters with the squad ron she has passed through many experi ences worthy to be remembered by the men on board of her. First of all. perhaps, should be mention ed the fact that Commodore Schley made her his flagship for a quick trip to Key West in the middle of May. Then she was detailed from the squadron for special duty, and when she went to" Cienfuegos to report it was found that the squadron had left that place, and she returned to Key West for orders. From Key West she convoyed the Pan ther and a supply ship to Santiago. Dur ing the trip a large warship was made out astern In the first flush of daylight. The Scorpion dropped astern of the ships she was convoying, while they turned on every ounce of steam they could. As the Scorpion and the stranger drew near each other the Scorpion prepared for ac tion, quickly and silently. In the dim light the stranger loomed up in immense pro portions, and there was a general impres sion on the American boat that she was the Vizcaya. The conflict which was im minent would be bound to end in the de struction of the convrted yacht, but her captain gave no heel to that considera tion. The troopship and the supply ship were slipping out of sight, and the Scor pion would at least be able to effect a delay. So her guns were loaded and trained and their crews stood with the levers of the open breech-locks In their hands. All were ready at the word to close the breech-locks and fire the pieces, although it should mean annihilation the next instant. Meanwhile the stranger's flag hung limp in the air. The fact that it was not on the staff at the Ftern. but high up in the battle position, was noted in the momentous suspense as the ships approached. At 800 yards distance the order to fire had almost been given when the quarter master's hail to the bridge. "British flag, sir!" altered the entire situation. The Scorpion turned, showing her own colors more distinctly, and crossed the stran ger's stern, upon which her name, Talbot, was made out, and then bolh ships turned and in an hour were hull down from each other. As Lieutenant Com mander Marix has since expressed it: "They never knew how near we came to sinking them." Another experience of this trip consist ed of being run down by one of the ships the Scorpion was convoying. The big steamer was headed directly at the for mer yacht and going at full speed. The captain of the Scorpion rang four bells in the engine room and threw the wheel hard over, and his ship escaped with about 15 feet of its stern rail torn out. The three ships were-spoken by two tor pedo boats one day of the trip, and were sighted by another converted yacht and reported as a. Spanish squadron, consist ing of a batleship, two auxiliaries and two torpedo destroyers. The vessel making this report has been familiarly known as the Owl since then, and the Scorpion is now designated as "the battleship,-' The first real engagement of any mag nitude in which the Scorpion took part was the bombardment of the Santiago for tifications on June 16. She was opoosed to a small battery at the mouth of the San Juan river, about three and a half miles east of the Morro. She silenced the guns quickly, but her gun crews be came so excited when the order "Cease firing!" was given they did not obey it. The officers yelled themselves hoarse, but the guns continued to fire until each crew had been informed separately that it must quit, because there was nothing left to shoot at. On the afternoon of the same day the Scorpion asked permission to go in again and look for more guns in the same place. Permission was granted and the boat went in, but her morning's work had been so effective that she did not fire a shot. Since then the Scorpion has landed pro visions and ammunition and kept up com munication with the Cubans, as has been told. OPPOSE MEDLEYS. Regimental Bands Will Furnish Music "Straight" Washington, July 4. Honor to the na tional airs in these patriotic days, as shown by the uncovering of heads when they are played, is going to be extended even further by order of the secretary of war and the commanding general of the army. The idea originated with Gover nor Henry Bloxham of Florida, who, transmitted it to the secretary of war in a communication from Tampa, Fla., as follows: "I have the honor to send you herewith at the request of Governor Bloxham, a petition asking that the bands of the reg ular army and volunteer service be in structed to play our national airs, the 'Star Spangled Banner' and 'America.' onlv in their original forms, and not to be mingled in medleys with other airs. "It has been noticed that the bands fre quently play these airs in fragments, or with variations, sometimes three different times during a concert, and it would seem that at this time particularly, when our patriotism is aroused to a high degree, our national anthems should be accorded the same resoect as our national colors." This bore the signature of L. E. Love jov. the governor's secretary. In Wash ington it was indorsed by Secretary Alger, by the adjutant general and by the com manding general of the army and trans mitted to the departmental commanders with instructions that it be forwarded to all post commanders for their information and guidance. This, therefore, amounts to an official order that in future military bands shall not play medleys containing the national airs. An order is bein considered to determine the exact deportment of sol diers while the airs are being played. No little amusement has been exicted among army officers at the articles which recently have appeared commenting on the fact that volunteer soldiers stationed at different posts in this vicinity have been seen to remove their hats when the national airs have been played by the mil itary bands, and adding that no regular army officer was ever seen to do this. An army officer yesterday, of high rank, speaking on this subject, said: "The cus tom of removing the hat when the na tional airs are being played has been in vogue for many years among the men of the regular army. I can remember the time when the practice was not observed feneraily. It first started in the West 'oint Military academy, and was intro duced there through example of various officers of foreign armies who visited the place. "It was noticed that whenever any of our national airs were played the foreign ers invariably would remove their hats and stand until the music ceased. This patriotic example was contagious, and it was not long before the beginning of a national anthem by the post band was the signal for every cadet in the hall to rise and stand uncovered. Since then the practice has spread until .today It is an uncommon thing to see a regular army officer who does not observe it." GEORGE MEMORIAL. Handsome Bronze Bust Unveiled on His Grave. New Tork, July 4. A life-size bronze bust of Henry George was unveiled Sun day at his grave on Ocean Hill, Green wood cemetery. It is the work of Rich ard F. George, the second son of the dead single-taxer. The ceremonies of unveil ing were conducted by Dr. Kdward Mc Glynn, the lifelong friend of Mr. George. Backed by a great slab of Quincv gran ite 9 feet high, 6 feet wide and 10 inches thick, the bronze bust will stand upon a pilaster bearing the name of "Henry George" in simple lettering. In the upper corners of the slab will be an ivy wreath and an olive wreath inclosing, respective ly, the dates of birth and death of Henry George. Around the edge of the slab there will be an egg and dart molding of pure classic design. On the reverse of this granite block the following extract from "Progress and Poverty" will be circled by a laurel wreath: "The truth that I have tried to make clear will not find an easy acceptance. If that could be it would have been accepted long ago; if that could be it would never have been advanced. But it will find friends, those who will toil for it, suffer for it; if need be, die for it. This is the power of truth. that could be it would never have been advanced. But will find friends, those who will toil for it, suffer for it; if need be, die for it. This is the power of truth." MORE IV OMEN LAWYERS. Six of Them in a Class Admitted to the Bar. New Tork, July 4. Another large class of law students was sworn in as members of the bar in the appellate division of the supreme court. Presiding Justice Van Brunt was present, and Justice Rumsey made an address in which he gave the new lawyers good advice. The oath was administered by Colonel Wagstaff, clerk of tne court. There were six women in the class, namely, Clara D. Blum, Edith J. Gris wold, Julia A. Gainey, Florence Lauter bach, Isabella M. Pettus and Mary G. Pitter. MODERN SHYLOCK. Kansas City Money Loaner Completely Undone. Kansas City, July 4. One of the most peculiarf reaks of justice in a court came to light here in the course of a trial of the cause of F. J. Karenski and W. F. Nicol, which was tried in the little court of Justice Millard at Independ ence. What was Greek meeting Greek to the meeting of Karenski, the money lender and Nicol the plumber? Not only had money lender met plumber, but the child of the chosen people had encoun tered the canny Scot. And Briefly, Nicol, the plumber, borrowed $250 on some furniture from W. W. Findley and W. W. Findley sold the mortgage thereon to Karenski. It was a rich investment for it was drawing 3 per cent a month interest. Neither Findley nor Karenski sus pected that the plumber of Scotch an cestry was a Napoleon of finance. Nor did they suspect that he had discovered a road to gain through poverty. But Findley and Karenski had no reason to disbelieve the scriptural comment that he who hath little the little which he hath shall be taken from him. In due time, the principal of the loan being unpaid, the ragged constables seized the furniture. Then came a stern man with a writ of replevin and a bill of sale for the furniture from Nicol and took it unto himself. Karenski, the money lender, appealed to the law and in Justice Hawthorne's court here was entered a suit to recover the $250 from Nicol, the plumber. Promptly Nicol the plumber secured a change of venue to Independence, where the pop ulation has more time to consider the wrongs of humanity and the eternal war 'twixt the usurer and the borrower. Justice of the peace courts are the relic of feudal days in Kansas City. Of course Kansas City never had any feudal days, but the relics of feudal days, driven out elsewhere, here find an asylum and many strange and devious interpretations of law and jus tice are daily dispensed in these court rooms. Nicol, the plumber, whipped the money lenders in detail. He told his story with tne simplicity and innocence of a chlid. After borrowing the first $250 on the furniture he found that the interest, 3 per cent a month, being usurous, the transaction was unlawful, and hence the furniture was free and unholden. Again, Nicol, feeling the need of coin, borrowed $175 from another money lender on the same furniture. Again 3 per cent a month was exacted, and the transaction being usurous, was void and unlawful according to Nicol's Ideas of law. Once more, feeling the need of coin, the plumber borrowed $150 on the same furniture and again the pound of flesh Condensed Milk Has no Equal as AN INFANT rOOD.

This time, Nicol, the plumber, weary of the game, and the furniture being worn and frayed, sold it outright to a friend for $100. Then he rented the furniture from the friend. About this time the first mortgage fell due and the plans of Nicol, the plumber, worked like a charm. He still had the furniture and the $675 the same t had produced and Karenski, the money lender, naa noining. Now, the law is, that if more than 10 per cent a year has been exacted or paid the whole interest recovered shall poses. It was not necessary for the j jury to go into exactitudes of law, and, according to its rignt the jury brought in a verdict for the defendant, giving him the furniture, free of all debt and leaving the three money lenders to "hold the sack." MISS JENNEY A MINISTER. Syracuse Girl Ordained By the Uni tarians. Syracuse, N. T., July 4. Miss Marie Jenney, daughter of Col. Edwin S. Jen ney, a prominent lawyer of this city, was ordained a Unitarian minister.

New Tork, July 4. Herbert Cooper had an action on trial before Justice Conlan of the City Court to recover $279.13 from William M. Earl for ser vices in making nickel-in-the-slot ma chines, which were supposed to be so arranged that the lucky man would get the nickels of the unlucky. The work was done in 1894 and 1895, and the plain tiff admitted that he was paid in part by Jerome Bradley for work on the ma chines, but he contended that Bradley acted for Earl. Earl did not testify in the case.but Bradley said that the work sued for was done so carelessly that it was of no use. Cooper said that he had arranged a secret button in the machine, so that the proprietors of the stores in which they used to be on exhibit could with draw the nickels that the unlucky had left in the machine, leaving the winner to get no more of a jackpot than the proprietor desired. ASTOUNDED THE BRITON. Joke of American War Correspond ents Taken Seriously. Key West, July 4. So much has been told of the obtuseness of the British mental process, when it comes to ap preciating the American idea of humor, that almost any story on the subject has a flavor of chestnut sauce about it; but I think this yarn may pass muster'. Whether it does or not, it possesses at least one merit, and that is truthful ness. When Key West was the depot a few weeks ago for all the Important news from Cuba, a company of English cor respondents arrived, ready to go to the front at once. With the exception of Lynch of the London Chronicle and Ak kers of the London Times they were men well along in the fifties, and were not a little amazed to find leading American newspapers represented by comparatively young men. The veteran Phil Robinson of the Pall Mall Gazette, who has been through eight campaigns in Egypt, India and the Soudan, thought it strange that any man under 45 i should be selected for such a mission. uiu jvnteiii ol cue ijuiiuon ximes anu Palmer of the London Post. Mr.Knight's assignment was to reach Havana after the blockade had been established and write a description of a besieged city. It was rather a risky piece of work, as he discovered. He procured the courtesy of a passage on a newspaper dispatch boat, which took him within six miles of the Cuban coast in a choppy, angry sea. At that dis tance from land he embarked in a small boat, carrying with him the usual Im pedimenta of the English traveler, the inevitable hat-box naturally being hi3 most cherished possession. A dozen times the frail craft was nearly cap sized, but by rare good luck Knight reached land and was immediately gob bled up by the Spaniards and thrown into jail. A week went by without hearing any news of him, and his old friend Robinson kept the Havana wire busy making inquiries. On the eighth day word was received of Mr. Knight's safety and there was a general rejoic ing in which the American newspaper men were as sincere as their transat lantic brethern. Next day some wag pasted up in the hotel a fake dispatch, which read as follows: "Mr. Knight of the London Times has arrived safely in Havana. He came .concealed in a keg of eggs, which was taken to the Palace. When the head was removed, Mr. Knight em erged, wiping his glasses, whereupon Gen. Blanco remarked: 'Sir, I see you belong to the yellow press of Great Britain?' There was a laugh over the bogus message by all, perhaps I should say except Mr. Akers, who regarded it with a sardonic smile, and the veteran Robinson, who didn't smile at all, but said "Humph!" The Tankees thought it rather funny, but it became funnier I DUST. iULib J iUL still, when the gray-mustached repre sentative of the London Post adjusted his monocle, and after reading the mes sage twice with great deliberation, ex caimed: "Well, well!

Mrs. Florence Van Schaack, who brought suit for $100,000 damages against her father-in-law, Peter Van Schaack, for the alienation of her husband's affections, in Brooklyn last September, and got judgment for $65,000, has been living in a boarding house at Bay Seventeenth street anj Benson avenue, Bath Beach, for a few months. About ten days ago her hus band, John Van Schaack, appeared at Bath Beach and took up his residence at the same boarding house. Since then the two have appeared together fre quently, and the Bath Beach gossips declare that they have become recon ciled. Mrs. Van Schaack had this to say on the subject last night: "Of course I am not reconciled to my husband. Why, if we were reconciled his father would cut him off without a cent. My husband is enjoying his va cation at present, and he came down here to see his child. He liked the place so well that he decided to spend the rest of his vacation here. The reason I have appeared in public with him is because he made an attempt to kidnap our child, and I don't propose to let him out of my sight while he is here. I still love Jack, and he is sorry for the way he treated me, but we have not become) reconciled. My father-in-law has never paid me any part of the judgment I ob tained ag;ainst him, although he offer ed to settle a short time ago for $8,000. I spurned the offer." FOUR HAVE DIED.

GRAVE EVILS FOLLOW EXCESS ES IN EATING AND DRINKING. Those Delicate Organs, the Kidneys, Suffer and the Symptoms of Dis tress Should Be Prompt ly Heeded. What causes kidney troubles? The kidneys are the most delicate ex cretory organs of the body, and are so refined In their structure that any un usual strain on any other part of the body. Is apt to produce in them serious troubles, which, if not attended to at once .lead to grave complications. Eating Too much, drinking to excess. Irregular habits, heavy lifting, exposure to bad weather and a thousand excesses and indiscretions affect the kidneys. Among the first signs of approaching trouble are backache, nervousness, headaches and pain in passing urine. Before John Morrow, the celebrated American chemist, discovered the tab lets that are called Morrow's Kidneoids, such "vmptoms were often neglected or wron'iy treated, but the great value of Morrow's discovery lies in checking kidney disease In the earliest stages. The Kidneoids are small yellow tablets, which contain all the elements needed to meet every stage of kidney disease, even the most severe cases. The following is what John McCord, express agent for the Wells, Fargo Co., residing at 180 Short Winter street, Springfield, Ohio, has to say after giv ing Morrow's Kidneoids a fair trial: "I have been suffering from kidney troubles for a number of years. My back would often become so lame anj the pain so intense that I could scarce ly get around at all. The Jar experi enced from driving- the wagon was at times unbearable, and for several days at a time I was unable to perform the work I at last concluded to give Mor row's Kidneoids a trial, and to my sur prise .after taking two boxes, the pain and weakness has entirely left me, and I am enjoying better health in every way than for the last twenty years."

General Snyder's division, which was under orders for Santiago, in cluded the following regiments: Eleventh and Nineteenth infantry of the regular army; the First District of Columbia, the Second New York, the Fifth Maryland, the Third Pennsylvania, the One Hundred and Fifty-seventh Indiana and the First Ohio. General Garretson's brigade, now at Camp Alger, Va., is under orders for San tiago. General Garretson's brigade Is composed of the Sixth Illinois, Sixth Mas sachusetts and the Eighth Ohio volunteer regiments. The army officials, feeling that they have protlted by the experiences in the first expedition, say better time will be made with those to follow. The Mohawk and the Mississippi, two vessels of the American transport line, just acquired by the government, have fa cilities for about l.&x) men and animals, and will be utilized in sending aid to Shafter. They are now at New York un der orders for Tampa. Sampson Promoted. Washington, July 4 The president to day sent these nominations to the sen ate: Navy Commodore Frederick V.

Commodore Sampson's rank was that. of captain and he has been only acting admiral of the North Atlantic squadron, succeeding Admiral Slcard, retired. Great Day at Frisco. San Francisco, July 4. The great vic tory achieved by Admiral Sampson on the sea and Gen. Shafter on the land added to the lustre of the celebration planned by the people of San Francisco to celebrate the national holiday. Pa triotism and enthusiasm were more evi dent than ever before in the history of the city. The news of the crowning triumph of American success was on the lips of everybody and the celebra tion which really commenced with the receipt of the news gathered force as the hours progressed until the city was wild with joy. The citizens were al most hysterical with delight and the great crowds which gathered around the newspaper bulletin boards, could hardly wait for additional news from the seat of war. The parade of soldiers and citizens was the greatest in the history of California and the grandeur of the spectacle -attracted people from all parts of Califor nia, many excursions being run from dif ferent points for the benefit of country residents. Over Io.iViO men participated in the parade, including thousands of troops from the forces gathered at Camp Merritt and from the Presidio. The volunteers and the regulars attracted particular at tention from the thousands of people gath ered along the line of march. They were cheered to the echo as they marched along, and it was the realization that these were the men who were fighting for the nation and the flag that moved the people to the greatest enthusiasm that has been set n in this city since the com mencement of hostilities. All the military and civic celebrities now in the city participated and the procession was reviewed by General Merriam as it countermarched on Van Ness avenue. Spain Ought to Quit. Paris, July 4. The Temps this after noon says: The capture of Santiago de Cuba is an irreparable blow for the Spaniards. The paper concludes its article by saying: Spain has not an hour to loose to negotiate for peace. SATURDAY'S BATTLE. Belated News of the Second Day's Conflict (Copyright, 1S9S, by Associated Press.) On the Hill Near El Paso.Before San tiago de Cuba, Saturday, July 2, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, per the Asso ciated Press Boat Dauntless, July 4. Four batteries of artillery which were placed in position this morning, began the day with bombarding the San Juan quarter of Santiago and the Spanish position in frunt of our right. After a quarter of an hour's shelling, General Lawton's troops, who had been rein forced, pressed forward upon the ene my's left flank, pouring in an exceed ingly hot fire which was continued dur ing the greater part of the afternoon. It is not intended to force the fighting before tomorrow the present plan be ing to turn the Spanish left, taking the whole line in enfilade and thus obtain ing a speedy entrance into the upper end of the city. Admiral Sampson's guns thundered at intervals all forenoon and the American shells were distinctly seen to explode with tremendous force and loud detona tions beyond the San Juan barracks, over which numerous red cross flags were flying. The concentration of the American artillery on what is now dub bed "Grimes Hill." near our east center was the result of a blunder made last night in posting our guns so near the Spanish infantry entrenchments that they could not be properly supported. The idea of a cross artillery fire was abandoned but the position occupied by the batteries on our right was not re linquished Later Admiral Cervera's fleet in the harbor succeeded in getting an approx imate range angle of our advance on the left and sent in many heavy sheila which exploded close to the entrench ments. It was realized late yesterdaythat we might have hard fighting today in or der to maintain this advanced position around the large block house, or so called fort. Strong entrenchments were therefore thrown up there during the night. Thus far today the Spanish infantry have let these works severely alone. Near this position 200 Spanish soldiers and 62 officers were captured this morn ing. Both these and two thousand pris oners taken yesterday on the right were marched to the rear during the fore noon. The expression on ail their faces wa,s exeedingly sullen. The rumor that one prisoner turned uPn a lieutenant of the Tenth cavalry who had just turned him over to the guard and stabbed him.the guard taking immediate vengeance for this dastard by filing the Spaniard with a oullet is not confirmed.

General Shatter's eable to General Jliles today: "I feel that I ara master of the situation, and can hold the enemy for any length of time." Spaniards yesterday. One of their bat teries, masked by a block house over which the Red Cross flag was flying, on the road leading .from Gen. Shafter's quarters on the Rio Sevilla to the front has been for two days infested at var ious points by sharp shooters, who fired deliberately upon our wounded .and upon our men who are engaged. It was supposed they have stolen through our lines on the right, taking refuge in the hospitals. In the trenches secured by us, many shells and explosive cartridges have been found. The impression appears to be well founded that the Spanish losses, espec ially in dead, will probably amount to 3,000 killed and wounded. The losses of the Spaniards are much heavier than ours. In some of the trenches, the corpses lay in unbroken lines and oc casionally two or three deep. It was not Gen. Shafter's intention to attempt a general assault on the Spaniards today unless our bombard ment and Gen. Lawton's fire on our right developed an exceptional oppor tunity. The morning orders were to confine our principal operations to the defense of the positions we have taken and reinforcements for the whole line were sent forth early in the forenoon. The second regular infantry was sent to the right, the Ninth Massachusetts and the Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth Michigan to the center, in all about two thousand fresh troops. The formation of the line today Is as follows: Gen. Lawton on the right. Gen. Kent on the right center, Gen. Wheeler left center and Gen. Bales on the left. Gen. Garcia's main insurgent force is thrown out to the right. Gen. Lawton sent a message to Gen. Shafter later in the afternoon saying he was in posses sion of several positions for planting batteries to dominate both the city and the outer fortifications of the port. From his headquarters Gen. Shafter has examined minutely Morro castle and its supporting batteries on the range facing the ocean and it was defi nitely ascertained that there were in the port of Santiago one gunboat, three ironclads and one transport. Gen. Shafter says Gen. Pando has not yet arrived at Santiago" de Cuba and that Gen. Garcia is expected to stop him and he has been asked to do so at all hazards. As the correspondent is about to leave with this dispatch for the sea coast, heavy fighting has been resumed on our right. The sharp cracking of Jthe Spanish volleys alternate with the steady, bus iness like discharges of our infantry, it is understood we have gained there a substantial advantage, commanding the Spanish flank. A German newspaper correspondent named Ring was arrested by order of Gen. Shafter last evening on the charge of being a spy of the Spaniards. The safest estimate of the killed and wound ed in yesterday's fight places it at near ly one thousand. Fourteen men died in the hospital last night and this morn ing.

The "Fourth." if i li COLLISION ON A TRESTLE. Engineer Killed in a Disastrous Wreck Near Paducah. Paducah, Ky., July 4. A disastrous collision occurred on the Illinois Central railroad at the Garrison creek bridge, seven miles east of this city yesterday morning at 2:30 o'clock. A regular freight train, going west, loaded with coal, met a train carrying empty coal cars going east on the long trestle over the creek. Both were going at full speed. Engineer Jake Thompson, who was on the train going east, was killed out right. He was knocked off the trestle and crushed to death beneath a car of coal. Only one hand could be seen when a search for him was made. James Scott, of Madisonville, Ky.. who was stealing a ride, was fatally injured. Henry Reeves, fireman, was painfully injured. John Bryant, brakeman, was hurt. Conductor Harry Wilstach, En gineer A. J. Frailey and R. L. Moore, fireman, were also painfully injured. All except Engineer Thompson, who killed, were injured by jumping from the train. Garrison creek bridge is between two steep grades, and both trains were run ning at the rate of forty miles an hour. The train going west was obeying or ders and was on time. The other train should have stopped at Clarkson's sta tion, a quarter of a mile west of where the accident occurred. Conductor Bob MrCann did not understand his orders and this caused the accident. Both engines are a total wreck. Twenty nine empty cars and five loaded cars plunged off the trestle in a mass and are a total wreck. Other disastrous wrecks have occurred at the Garrison creek bridge, and the place is regarded with superstition by railroad men. The loss will be about $30,000. It is be lieved that Engineer Thompson be lieved he was meeting the passenger train and remained on his engine with the hope of saving many lives. SPAIN NOT IN IT. All Other Nations Represented at Omaha Today. Omaha, July 4. The biggest Fourth of July celebration ever observed in the west Is in progress on the exposition grounds here today. The crowds were greatly enthused by the glorious news from Santiago and add the celebration of Shafter and Sampson's victories to the original object of the day. The parade was one of the unique features, being made up of the Midway denizens, and every nation under the sun. but Spain was represented. One hundred thousand people were on the grounds when the parade moved. After the parade there were old-fashioned exercises on the grand plaza, where the Declaration of Independence was read, Hon. James M. Beck of Philadelphia de livered an oration. Not how chean but how good Is th way we try to do our work. Peerless 6 team Laundry. 112 aid 114 West 8th. -J j?'

at Madrid. SHOULD SEE SAMPSON. Blanco Asked the Queen to Relieve Cervera Prom Command. New York, July 4. Advices received by the junta say: News has reached here to the effect that Captain General Blanco has sent a message from Havana to the queen regent of Spain requesting her to re lieve Admiral Cervera from command of the fleet ln the harbor oE Santiago, and urging that he be replaced by Com modore "Villamil. General Blanco said further that he did not believe Admiral Cervera was equal to the importance of: his command, and intimated that if Santiago is lost to the American and Cuban soldiers it will be due to his neglect to take advantage of his oppor tunities. Blanco thinks that Admiral Cervera has allowed valuable opportunities to slip by while he has been lying in the harbor of Santiago, and says that he should have gone out to meet and fight the American fleet before the invading army was given an' opportunity to land. At the same tjme Blanco's message shows that he still believes or rather hopes that Spain will be victorious. He informs the queen regent that the dis sension and revolt among the police and volunteers in Havana due to the strict observance of military discipline, have blown over, and the inhabitants of the city, as well as the soldiers, are pacific and patriotic in their expressions and actions. He says that the American soldiers are not fit to fight in Cuba, never having had any experience in tropical countries, and the intense heat and peculiar climate have produced much illness among them. The Cuban soldiers he refers to very contemptuously, saying that no account Is to be taken of them, and he urges the queen regent to pay no attention to American reports of victory in Cuba which, he says, are written for the sen sational American press, and have no foundation in fact. According to the message, Blanco says that a number of vessels, loaded with provisions from various ports have arrived, and that there is no danger of a famine. The American blockade of Havana, he says, is absolutely inef fectual and the steamers find no dif ficulty in running it. A few of them are captured, but the majority, so far, have succeeded in landing their cargoes. At the same time the queen regent reived information from the representa tives of the South American govern ments in Madrid that they could not undertake to intervene or interfere in any way with the Spanish-American war, even to the extent of offering their services in the matter of securing fa vorable peace terms. Their declina tion is accompanied by expressions of regret, but it is couched in such terms as to leave Spain no hope of aid from that quarter. The majority of the South American governments represented in Madrid, while preserving a strict neutrality. are at heart in favor of Cuba, if not of the United States, and would do nothing to place obstacles in the way of the island people and the independence which now seems assured to them. JOINTS STILL RUN Though There Has Been Marked Advance in Prices. The joints of Topeka are running today uninterruptedly. The disorderly houses too have not been inactive. The reason of all this is that the five days' limit has not yet expired which was announced to be in effect last Fri day when Mayor Fellows took charge as commander-in-chief of the police department. Tomorrow is the day on which things must close up as tight as a drum. Some of the joints have already closed, either from fear of future trouble, or from realizing that the "jig is up." But there were so many Joints in operation that the few which have closed are scarcely noticeable. In almost every block on Kansas ave nue between Gordon street and Tenth street, there was some sort of a joint. None run as openly as they did two weeks ago, but it was not hard for the average thirsty individual to get a cool, foaming glass of beer. Some of the jointists who are still operating declare that they will not close, but will run their places as clubs and lodges. They also say that they will be very careful in admitting people to be sure that they are "all right." Since the order has gone forth that there must be an end to the joints, the price of bottled beer has suddenly jumped from 20 cents to 25 cents a bot tle. Whisky has gone up from 50 cents a pint to $1.00, which is the drug store price. An ex-policeman, who ought to know all about joints and disorderly houses, said: "That order to close the joints was made in the interests of the drug stores. Beer and whisky have gone up in price. The joints are running today and only a few of them closed down. Several of the jointkeepers said Mayor Fellows wouldn t dare destroy their fixtures. I don't believe they intend closing everything absolutely tight. Anyway, there is plenty of beer and booze to be had today and it isn't hard to get either." hotTeTrght. Two Spanish War Tessels De stroyed by Mosquito Fleet. (Copyright, 1S9S, by the Associated Press.) Off Santiago de Cuba, July 2, via King ton, Jamaica, July 4. n the morning of July 1 the Hist, Hornet and Wampatuck destroyed a Spanish gunboat near Cape Cruz. On the afternoon of the same day these members of the mosquito fleet de stroyed another war vessel at Manzanillo. At the latter place a hot engagement en sued between the three small American craft and nine Spanish vessels supported by land batteries and troops ashore. One large Spanish torpedo boat was dis abled, three Spanish gunboats were seri ously injured and a pontoon full of Span ish troops was sunk, the enemy escap ing in boats. The Hornet was temporar ily disabled, but the only casualties on the American side were three men scald ed by escaping steam. The Spanish loss is believed to be large. The Hist, Hornet and Wampatuck re turned to Santiago de Cuba and were sent to Guantanamo today for repairs. Rear Admiral Sampson warmly congratulated Lieutenant Young. J. M. Helms and C. W. Jungen, the commanders, respectively, of the Hist, Hornet and the Wampatuck for their bravery and the successful tack ling of such a superior force. Red Handed Brute. Jackson, Mo., July 4. John Hen dricks, a farm hand who shot Farmer Lail to death Friday, cut Mrs. Lail's throat and then compelled Miss Lail to wash the blood from his hands, gave himself up today. He had been hiding in the woods since the crime. The sheriff took him out on the river in a skiff to prevent mob violence and when the 11 o'clock train arrived they boarded it for SL Louis.

SHOT THE WRONG MAN. Now, 40 Years Later, Jacob SIcKis sick is Sued for $20,000. Hamburg, la., July 4. One of the mysteries of early days in Fremont county is in process of solution, and a $20,000 damage suit, just filed, is one of the incidents to the clearing up process. Forty years ago a man named Furbey spent a night at the home of John Al len, who still lives in the county. Late at night a gun was thrust through a crack in the door ana a snot nved into the cabin, apparently with deliberate aim. Furbey was struck in the thigh, and received a wound from which he r. ever recovered. He was near death for a long time and all his life was helplessly lame, dying in poverty many years before his time. Now comes the sequel. A short time ago Jacob McKissick came back to visit here, after being many years in Neva da. He has had a life of adventure since the days of the California gold excitement. One night, while telling his friends of his life, he became enthusias tic, in his cups, and said he had fired the shot which injured Furbey. He had had a feud for a long time with Allen, and intended it for him. Relatives of Furbey learned of the confession and instituted a $20,000 damage suit, at taching property here and in Nevada. McKissick is quite wealthy. LEAVENWORTH SAD. Officers' Families Distressed Careers of Ken Who Fell. Leavenworth, Kan., July 4. The fam ilies of over seventy officers now with Gen .Shafter in the Cuban campaign live at Fort Leavenworth and in this city, and this was a day of worry and anxiety to them. In addition, about 200 of the 800 private soldiers who left is April and took part in the two days' battle at Santiago resided here. The only news received yet tell3 of the kill ing and wounding of officers. Many are telegraphing to the war department asking for news. Lieut. Henry Carroll, Sixth cavalry, who is badly wounded, left Fort Leav enworth in April in command of four troops. He entered the regular army before the war as a private. During the war he rose to the rank of major. In 1867 he was made a lieutenant in the Third cavalry, and has served in four different cavalry regiments and in many Indian campaigns. He was awarded a medal of honor for gal lantry in action. His family is now in Lawrence, Kan. Capt. John Kerr, Sixth cavalry, wounded, left in April also. He was Kansas Avcnnejsssisisrss born in Kentucky and graduated from West Point in 1S70. He and his wife inherited fortunes, and they are count ed among the richest couples in the army. Capt. Chas. Dodge, Twenty-fourth in fantry, entered the service as a private in 1S75. He graduated from the Fort Leavenworth infantry and cavalry school in 1SS3. He married Miss Tay lor of Leavenworth. Lieut. Orien B. Myers rose from th: ranks and graduated from the infantry and cavalry school last year. He is noted for his courage. Lieut. Albert H. Scott, formerly of this post, was born in Texas and grad uated from the military academy iri 1SS0. He has been with the Thirteenth infantry since entering the service. Capt. John B. Rodman, reported fataKy wounded, left here with the Twentieth infantry. He is a son of Gen. Rodman, inventor of the famous cannon that bears his name. Capt. Redman is a graduate of West Point and served in two Indian campaigns. He left here as senior captain, but com manded the First battalion of his regi ment since the promotion of Cols. Haw kins and Weaton. His family reside here. SANTA FE FAST FREIGHT. Train From Chicago to the Coast on Passenger Time. When the Santa Fe summer time card goes inco effect on next Sunday, July 10. the fa 'est freight service on any weste: n raih-oad will be inaugurated from Chicago to the Pacidc coast. A fast freight train will leave Chicago every night about 9 o'clock and run through to San Francisco on passenger train time, averaging ovr 3- miles an hour. As many sections of the regular train as may be necessary az any time will also be run through to the coast on the same time. The Jfast freight will carry principally perishable freight and freight in compe tition. A rearrangement of the present freight schedule on the Santa Ke is the purpose of the new time card. Lately the traffic de partment of the road has been careless in handling fast freight, and much freight which did not require rapid handling has been shtppc-d through as "red ball" or fast freight. This has often resulted in delays to freight which demanded fast movement. Under the new schedule only freight requiring rapid handling will ha allowed in the fast through train, and in this considerable saving will be accomp lished, ln addition, ihe unusually fast freight service from Chicago to the coast will increase through freight traffic on the Santa Fe. First Accident Reported. John Speed, a boy who lives with his parents at ;:18 Taylor street, was fright fully burned by an explosion of lire crackers while eating breakfast this morn ing. He had a bunch of firecrackers and some matches in his hand when by some means the tire crackers were ignited and the whole bunch exploded, burning his left hand and the left side of his face fright fully. Dr. Tefft was called and dressed the wounds and the boy will soon recover. K. C. Company Arrives. The company of colored soldiers from Kansas City. Kan., came in at 12:30 on the Union Pacific in charge of Captain John L. Waller. The company was met at the train by a drum corps and dele gation from Ft. Pillow post, G. A.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAI MONDAY EVENING, JUEX 4, 1898. SQUADRON. TY)z Plucky Adrrjir&l, Hi? Fleet tbe Officer? Wbo Figbt Witb Hirrj. Admiral Sampson, now commanding the finest and most formidable naval armament ever controlled by an Ameri can naval officer, has arisen from a humble place in the social scale to his present exalted position. Like so many In all countries who have attained emi nence notwithstanding the adverse cir cumstances attending their birth and their upward progress, Admiral Samp Eon owes nothing to those adventitious aids, wealth and social position, to which bo many, even under our free in stitutions, otto their start in life and their subsequent advancement. His suc cess has been due to merit, indomitable courage, perseverance and to the posses sion of those other qualities that com mand success. Admiral Sampson was born in Pal myra, "Wayne county, N. Y., Feb. 9, 1840. He is four mouths younger to the day than Commodore Winfield Scott Schley, who has been assigned to the other important naval command on the Atlantic coast, the flying squadron. Unlike Schley, the new commander in chief of the north Atlantic station does not come of distinguished naval lineage, nor, in fact, of a prominent family. He is the first of his line to at tain distinction. George Sampson, his father, was a day laborer, and the early life of William, his son, was not the pleasantest and easiest. Frequently he accompanied his father on the tramps from one farmhouse to another in Wayne county, helping to split and pile wood and do other hard work. In hia spare moments he studied the few textbooks at hia command and managed to attend the public schools in the county at in tervals. Old Squire William H. South wick of Palmyra liked young Sampson for his energy and ambition. The squire was a friend of E. B. Morgan, who rep resented in congress the district which includes Wayne county. Representative Morgan had the right to appoint a mid shipman to the United States Naval academy, and wh$n Squire South wick 'it. v ,iwJw-i','iiij A t' uialxJ.-'ii 1; i 'ins ADMIRAL WILLIAM T. SAMPSON. beard this ho exerted himself in young Sampson's behalf. Ee Entri the JTavy. This was in 1857, and Sampson went to Annapolis in September of that year and doimed the natry uniform of a mid dy. Four years later, less than a year before the beginning of the civil war, he was graduated at the head of the class. The opening of hostilities found him on the frigata Potomac, with the rank of master. Captain Sampson was too young a man to get a command dur ing the war, but he conducted himself in a manner that wou him promotion as a lieutenant in July, 1862, and while holding that commission he served on the practice ship John Adams at the Ixaval academy, on the ironclad Pataps eo of the south Atlantio blockading squadron and on the steam frigate Col orado, the flagship of the European quadron. Admiral Sampson, then a lieutenant, was the executive officer on the iron clad Patapsco on Jan. 16, 1S65. Hia boat was a part of the blockading fleet before Charleston. The rebels knew that sooner or later the boats of the Union fleet which were doing blockads duty would seek to enter the harbor and compel the surrender of the city or re duce it, and for days they spent all their time laying submarine mines and torpedoes preparatory to giving the Un ion boats a reception that they would not forget. On the morning of the 1 6th the admiral of the fleet decided that the time was ripe to get into the harbor. Of course he expected that the place was full of mines and torpedoes, and he had to get rid of them in some way. He selected the Patapsco to do the work. She wa ordered to enter the har bor and search for the hidden enemies and to pick them up or destroy them whoa she found them. BIr l With HU Ship. Liautenai Sampson was on tko bridge, and as soon as the ironclad1 got within range a torrent of fire fell upon her. Despite the terrific onslaught, the little ship bravely steamed ahead. Con federate sharpshooters lined the hills and bullets swept over the deck like hail driven by a furious wind. Sampson ordered the marines and sailors below to hide behind the iron protection, while he alone remained on deck. All at once the firing ceased with ill boding suddenness. The next instant the iron clad went up into the air, split into fragments by ar. enormous torpedo. Along with the ship was blown Lieu tenant Sampson, only to be thrown back into the water 100 feet away. Others struggled near hir- in the trough. More than 70 of his men had been torn to pieces. The castaways were picked up, and the next day Sampson was ready for duty, as serene and unconcerned as if he had not the day before emerged from the portals of certain death. In I860, while on the Colorado, Ad miral Sampson received his commission as commander. From 1863 to 1871 he was at tho Naval academy, and in 1872 and the following year was in Europe and elsewhere on the Congress. His first command was the Alert, to which he was assigned just after he attained the grade of commander in 1874. From 1876 to 1S78 he was again at the Naval academy. Ten years later be became su perintended t of the academy and served for four years. A 3?ral Genius. He is considered an authority on the Jibjects of armor, ordnance and tor pedoes. With Lieutenant Joseph Strauss he designed the novel double turret sys tem which has been adopted for the new battleships Kearsarge and Ken tucky. Its purpose is to avoid the diffi culty in the way of concentrating the fire of the heavy guns, which is a trou bling problem on the Indiana. The su perimposed or double story turret was designed to solve the question, and while it has not been tried as yet, it is fair to assume that the chances are alto gether in favor of its success, as it was adopted only after long argument and careful study of all the points that are involved. To prepare a plan that has met the objections of experts as well as this plan did was an achievement in it self, and it would speak well for the ability of the new commander if he had done nothing else to prove it. Since the formation of the new navy he has commanded the cruiser San Fran cisco and the battleship Jowa. He was the first man to command the latter ship, and on her he had the opportunity of satisfying fully his desire to study great CAPTArS R. B. KVAN8, IOWA. guns in action. He knows more about modern rifled ordnance than most naval officers, as he was inspector of ordnance at the Washington navy yard for three years. Ha helped in tho installment of the present fine gun factory there, and from 1893 to 1897 he was chief of the bureau of naval ordnance. His being appointed president of the board of inquiry regarding the Maine jr ft ,r 3 J disaster and as successor to Admiral Bicard in command of the north At lantic squadron is too recent to require more than incidental mention.

Admiral Sampson at Home To form an estimate of a man's real character and his personality those facts relating to his private life as an indi vidual are invaluable and show the per son as he is uninfluenced by official life and environment, which so often ob scure the real self. In his private as in his public charac ter Admiral Sampson stands tho test equally well, and in all those relation ships attached to home lif3 he has proved himself worthy not only of com mendation, but of imitation as well. Admiral Sampson has been twice married. Hjs first wife, to whom he was married in 1862, was Margaret, a daughter of the late David S. Aldrich, one of tho leading business men of Pal myra. The admiral has many relatives still living in the vicinity of Palmyra, and he visits his old home as often as possible. He owns the famous Mormon Hill farm, upon which is the hill where Joseph Smith dug, as he alleged, the golden plates from which the Book of Mormon was printed by the late Major Gilbert on an old hand printing press at present owned in Rose, Wayne county, (ieorgo Sampson works this Mormon Hill farm for his brother. The old brick house on Johnson street, at the south end of Prospect hill, still stands, and it was there that the future admiral was bora. By his first marriage he had two daughters, one of whom is married to Lieutenant Roy O. Smith and the oth er to Ensign R. H. Jackson. It was En sign Jackson who while a cadet serving at Apia led the Jackies to the tops dur ing the terrible Samoan hurricane and formed with them what is known as "tho human sail," which kept the ship from going on the fatal coral reef at the entrance to the harbor. For this gallant act young Jackson, who would other wise have lost a commission through the lack of a vacancy, was retained in the service by a special act of congress. His second wife was Miss Mary Bur ling, a preceptress in the Palmyra Classical Union school. The fruits of this marriage were four children, two boys and two girls, named respectively, Ralph Earle, Harold, Hannah (named after his mother) and Olive Farring ton. Mrs. Sampson is a cultured, mod est woman who devotes much of her time to the education of her children, which she supervises personaUy. The Admiral't Bright Boys. Ralph Sampson is 1 1 and his broth er, Harold, is 8. They are now living with thir mother and two sisters in a tastefully modest brown cottage at 117 Clark street, not much more than a far cry from the Glen Ridge (N. J.) station on the Montclair branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad. The boys are exceedingly proud of their father, and both have long understood the nature and impor tance of his position quite as well as any one. Mrs. Sampson's sympathy with her boys is as pronounced as the admiral's, and their regard for her is chivalrous in the extreme. In turn she enters fully into their sports and devotes much time to the direction of their studies. In school the boys are known as among the brightest of all the pupils, and though not exactly of the goody-goody type their class standing is high. This they delight in as sincerely as they do in any of their sports, and their ambition is to stand as high at Annapolis by and by as their father did before them. To do this each must be the best in his class in all lines, since their father was a "four striper" at graduation, which means that he was No. 1 in everything. He wore four stripes on his left sleeve all through the last year of his course in consequence. Ralph, the elder of the two boys, has a great head for figures and excels in everything mathematical. Admiral Sampson was 58 on Feb. 9 of this year, but ho knows boy nature CAPTAIN F. E. CHADWICK, NEW TORK. well and sympathizes thoroughly with it, and the relations existing between himself and his sous are of the chum miest sort that can be imagined. When ever he has shore leave, where they can get together, tho veteran naval hero that is and his juvenile replicas that hope to keep the name in the service for many years to come are almost insep arable companions. And whenever his 6hip has been stationed within reach of the family the boys have been frequent visitors on its decks, where they have always made themselves pets with the men and favorites with the officers in spite of certain boyish tendencies to ex plore all sorts of forbidden nooks and comers and to find out things by asking questions that no one can answer. In private life, like so many distin guished personages, he is noted for sim plicity, candor and a total absence of af fectation. His is not the greatness that awes those who come in contact with him, and though a thorough disciplina rian and rigorous in tho execution of his commands there is nothing domineer ing or haughty in his manner.

Fremont, son 4' of the Pathfinder, aud the Dupont, by Lieutenant G. S. Wood. "Fighting: Bob" and the Iowa. The battleship Iowa, commanded by "Fighting Bob" Evans, is the most for midable battleship in the United States navy. Her displacement is 11,410 tons; she has a speed of 16 knots; her horse power is 11,000, and she cost $3,010, 000. Her armament consists of four 12 inch guns, eight 8 inch guns, six 4 inch and 28 guns of smaller caliber. Captain Evans was born in Virginia in 1&46, and during his boyhood broke colts, shot rabbits and attended such country schools as the mountains of Virginia in those days afforded. Upon the death of his father in 1855 young Evans went to live with his uncle, Al exander H. Evans, in Washington. Here he attended Gonzaga college, a well known and excellent Catholic in stitution which has turned out many good men. In 1859 he was offered an appointment to the Naval academy by Mr. William Hooper, delegate in Con gress from Utah. With $200 and a navy revolver this young aspirant for naval honors started for Salt Lake City, which he reached after a hard passage and aft er he had been shot twice by Indians. In 18G0 he joined his class at the Naval academy, Annapolis, and afterward, during the war, served as midshipman and ensign. Ho served on board the frigate Powhatan in the flying squad ron under Admiral Lardner, and also in the east gu'if under the same officer, afterward in the north Atlantic under Admiral Porter and Commodore Schenck. It was during this sea service that he participated in the desperate as sault upon and capture of Fort Fisher. It will bo remembered that a forlorn hope made up of volunteers ft om the fleet was sent against the up to that time impregnable works, and "Fight ing Bob," yet a mere lad, was one of tho volunteers. It was one of the most desperate and sanguinary assaults of the war. He was commissioned as lieu tenant in 1866, and as lieutenant com mander in 1868. Subsequently he held various commands until appointed to the Iowa. Captain Evans is a man of robust build, 55 years of age. His face is seamed by heavy lines. He walks with a limp, caused by a wound receiv ed in battle. He looks his age, every day of it, and he also looks the typical sea dog. He is tho very man to follow or lead. Cool, but stiil full of enthu siasm hardy and stout, but alert in ev ery fiber. Captain Chadwiclc and the New Torlc. Tho armored cruiser New York (flag ship of the fleet), commanded by Cap tain F. E.

Enterprise, Captain McCalla was tho defendant in a naval court mar tial. The charge, which was partially sustained, was striking and cutting Sea man Walker with his sword, putting other men in irons and threatening to AND HAROLD, AND THE ADMIRAL'S DOG. kill Seaman Meyer. The sentence of the court was that he should be given a furlough for three years on half pay. The court martial recommended that even this sentence ahould be mitigated, but the secretary of the navy would not consent to this, lhtre was, of course, the plea of great provocation to consid er in awarding sentence, which other wise would be much more severe. Many clamored at the tims for his dismissal from the navy, which, Lad it taken place, would have deprived the naval service of a most capable offioer. FLAGS SIDE BY SIDE. Stars and Stripes and British Colors Drape English Pulpits: New York, July 4. A special to the Tribune from London says: British and American flags hung from the pulpit at Stepney meeting house Sunday, and Independence day was cel ebrated with more than Yankee energy 24 hours ahead of time in the historic stronghold of English non-conformitv. The Congregational near Stepney Green was filled with an East End audience consisting mainly of men. H. A. Kennedy, as chairman of the Stepney Men's Sunday union, made an introductory address, referring ia hearty, generous terms to America, justifying the revolution of 1776 and declaring that Englishmen would have done the same thing under the same circumstances, since it was not in English blood to ue down and be trampled upon. He also asserted that America in fighting Spain was not negleting public dut as England and Europe renounced their moral obligation when the Turks wers slaughtering Armenians. The peopi9 of the United States were acting lika an elder brother toward a younger one who needed thorough chastisement. He expressed firm belief that the result cf the present hostilities would be bene ficial both in the West Indies and In the Philippines. After Mme. Zepperah Monteith had sung "The Star Spangled BaJine!'" from the pulpit. Colonel James L. Tay lor, president of the American society, delivered a short and judicious address on the relations of the United States and England at the time of the revolution and on the signs of increasing good feeling now existing between thi-m. referred during the address to Special Ambassador lieid whose name was. received by the audience with enthusiastic applause. He quoted with excellent effect the closing sentences of Mr. Reid's Fourth of July speech de livered in London a year ago, and t;; Stepney audience again applauded wi: ti great heartiness. Colonel Taylor was followed by Dr. John Kennedy, almost the oldest ex-cliairman of the Congregational union, who was in charge of the Stepney meeting house for 36 years, and took a prominent part in the sixties In arousing British sympathy for the Union. This veteran made ;m earnest speech, full of good feeling for America. Stepney has the honor of being the first English community to celebrate the birth day of American liberty with fraternal heartiness and cordiality. KAKSANS ABE HAPPY.

X One Man Carries Out S30.000 in Dust, Rush of Prospectors Waits on the Weather. Seattle, Wash., July 4. The first miners to come out from the Klondike this season have arrived here from St. Michael on the steamer New England. There were twenty of them and they brought gold dust and drafts estimated at $200,000. As to the amount of gold dust brought with them are very re ticent. Captain Joyce and Purser Den nis of the New England are authority for the statement that there was one deposit in the steamer's strong box, $175,000 worth of dust and that the drafts they carried would make an aggegate amount of over $200,000.

T?ugh Cameron, who lives in the woods near Lawrence, celebrated his 72nd Fourth of July by walking from his abode, known as Camp Ben Harrison, to To peka this morning, a distance of 24 miles. He was eight hours on the road, stopping for about an hour to cook .some breakfast. He was attired in white canvas jacket, blue overalls and broad brim med straw hat. His hair, 30 inches in length, was neatly covered up by a cheesecloth tied about his head, and hi3 36 inches of beard were tucked under his shirt front. He came to tender his services to Governor Leedy for the war. He made application in the following odd letter: Camp Ben Harrison. Glen Burn, Douglas County, Kan., July 4, 1S9S. To the Governor of the State of Kansas. Dear Sir: On this sacred day this anniversary of the awful and blessed day in which Jehovah, through the in strumentality of the patriot fathers, declared that America should be free, proclaimed that every inch of ground on this continent should be the prop erty of a free people, I write in all sincerity and reverence, animated by the precepts and example of him who was first in war, hrst m peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, to confess my willingness and ability to serve Almighty God, our poor hu nianity and my country in the pending v war to free and enfranchise the poor enslaved people of Cuba, as he did in the Revolution to free and enfranchise the people of the United States. I make this tender with confidence, be cause 1 am assured that merit will not be ignored in the selection of your fighting men for this great enterprise. The fact that I was abused and ban i ished from the Capitol of the United States about one year ago, whila in Washington to attend the inauguration "y of our patriotic president, only strenth V' ens my desire to serve as a general in the war now pending, for as such I would be able to do much to deliver the "tpoor, ill clad Cubans from fear of sim--Ailar gross and outrageous wrongs.

Kansans Are Given the Place of Honor In San Francisco Mammoth Pa rade Today. (From the State Journal's Special CJor respondent.) San Francisco, June 29. 'As a sort of a balm in Gilead thrown to the Kansas regiment to console them for being left behind on the third Phil ippine expedition, San Francisco citi zens have offered them the place of honor in the Fourth of July parade. Just think of it. To march to the rythm of popping firecrackers along the streets of Frisco on July 4th, when every man who enlisted May 1st in Kansas expected to celebrate the day with Dewey. Two months enlisted, the first regiment In the field and here we are settled down in Frisco marching in Fourth of July parades. It's the last straw. The men mourn and refuse to be comforted. Lieut. Hall has been appointed act ing quartermaster, vice Quartermaster Smith resigned. Lieut. Smith has been in poor health since his arrival in San Francisco and under the urgent advice of the major surgeon decided not to undertake the trip. Smith is proprietor of the Waconda springs near Beloit. The position pays $150 per month which he gives up. Private Terry of Abilene met with a serious accident this week. He was one of a detail to unload some wood and stepped across the street for a moment after a sandwich or a glass of beer. He delayed returning until the other boys were in and then jumped the guard line force. The guard cried for him to halt and chased the erring youth to a tent with bayonet at charge. At the door of the tent the guard stumbled and the bayonet pierced young Gerry's abdomen, causing a serious wound. He will recover, though very sick for a time. Young Joe Spendlove, of Topeka. who was recently reduced from a corporal to private on the charge of "blowing in" $27 of Private Stewart's money which Stewart entrusted to him, is in trouble again. Today he shot himself through the hand while playing in the tent with a revolver. The funeral of Harry Pepper was held with military honors Monday. Pep per leaves a widowed mother at Silver Lake. Johnnie Buchanan, formerly of Cros by's store, who came in with the last recruits, is comfortably located as as sistant postmaster under Chaplain Schleiman. Major Surgeon Rafter tells an amus ing incident in which Col. Funston in cidentally figured. A lady friend sent out to the major for distribution a large bundle of mysterious garments. They were a combination of waist and trousers. The major look ed over them. Up and down he turned them but no idea of their purpose could be gained. In his per plexity he resolved to go to the colonel, and he straightway hied himself to headquarters. Colonel Funston was equally as badly puzzled until a third party, a lady friend, suggested that they might be "pajamas." It was with a feeling of relief that the discovery was made. Each of the gentlemen now use one for sleeping purposes and enjoy them. But they are really roomy enough for an elephant and would fit the one as well as the other. Dr. Huffman today received a de cided compliment. He was chosen by the department to preside over the new Minnesota, Colorado and Nebraska troops. The regular surgeons of these states have gone on to Manila and Dr. Huffman will organize an immediate hospital corps and assume charge. He will have some 1,300 men under bis charge. Charles G. Morton of Company E, Burlington, has been suffering so much with heart trouble lately that he has been compelled to go to a private hos pital outside of the grounds. Uniforms are being issued to the new recruits today and they are really of better material than the first men drew. The older men are doing much grumbling about the quality of the ma terial in their suits. The new recruits or "rookies" as they are jocosely termed, are being given hard and constant drill. Corporal Frank Aswald of Company B and formerly of the Austrian service is putting squads of them through the various maneuvers in the best of shape. And, by the way, the boys in Com pany B, Captain Buchan's company are all "swelled up" over a compliment paid them by Brigadier General King. He was passing up and down the com pany's rows on an inspection tour. Glancing in the first Sibley next to the officers row he was struck with its neatness and exclaimed with pleasure to Colonel Funston: "The appearance of this tent passes the whole row." A change has been made in the ad jutant's office at the personal request of Lieutenant W. A. DeFord who longed to get back to active service and drill work for which he is so pecul iarly well fitted. Not a breath of a complaint has been heard against Ad jutant DeFord's work and no change would have been thought of save at his own personal request. Captain Fred Buehan will keep the office up to its present high standard. Major Surgeon Rafter says he has about eight men on his list that he will recommend be sent back to Kan sas. Their physical condition will not permit of them being taken to the Phil ippines. O. S. Taylor now leads the band as drum major and band sergeant in splendid style.

Just how long the English press will be bottled up remains a problem. The stereotypers of Union No. 4, Interna tional Typographical union, say they are out to win. Only seventy or eigh ty of them are interested directly in this strike, but they effectually prevented a million of readers learning the news Sunday. The Publishers' association, like the Stereotypers' union, stands equally firm. The publishers declare that not only will they not meet the demands of the strikers, but that they will never take any of them back, and will bring non-union men from other cities. The refusal of these seventy or eighty men has thrown many thousands of others into idleness, including printers, press men, linotype operators, news agents and an army of newsboys. It is a com plete tie-up, and will continue probably until Tuesday. The German papers were published as usual. This was a disappointment to the publishers, especially the appear ance of the Staatz-Zeitung. The Freie Presse is equipped with a non-union force, but the stereotypers assert the Staatz-Zeitung will accede to their de mands. In the meantime, the strikers will en ter the field of Chicago journalism by starting a paper of their own, to be called the Morning Call. It may become a daily visitor to the homes of Chicago, as plenty of talent and capital is said to be on tap. The first issue will con tain a succinct account of their de mands and tell how they were met by the publishers. President John Doyle of the Stereo typers" union, says they are only ask ing for a just scale in view of the char acter of their work, which is enervating, uncomfortable and dangerous. He claims that men are prostrated at it daily. They ask for $4 a day for seven hours' work, 75 cents per hour for over time, and the limitation of apprentices to one in each shop. This was the scale adopted after a meeting held early in May, at which they decided to give the Publishers' association thirty days' no tice of their intention to open the scale. The scale prior to that time was $3.75 a day for eight hours, and 50 cents per hour for overtime. The stereotypers were willing to concede the eight hours, and to reduce the price of overtime, but the publishers declined to grant this. The Allied Printing Trades council is expected to say soon just how much support they will give the stereotypers In their struggle. This council is com posed of seventeen different unions, each having three delegates. Three in ternational organizations, to which the seventeen unions belong, have a tripar tite agreement concerning the conduct of strikes and the part each shall take In them. The stereotypers are in a union sub ordinate to Typographical Union No. 16 of Chicago, and the rules say they should have sought sanction for the strike from that organization, the Allied Council and the International Union, of which W. B. Prescott is president, with headquarters in Indianapolis. He was expected here to take part in the fray, but later information comes that the executive body of the international body will hear the case presented in the Indiana city. National Organizer Harris will go there to present the case, and he has hopes of gaining sup port. The stereotypers think they can head off any non-union men who may be imported. George Thompson, the local organizer for the International, says they will be supported by all interested in the tripartite alliance. Typographi cal Union, No. 16. is deeply Interested in ending the strike, and it has an in fluential committee trying to brihg about an understanding between the union and the association. The publishers, although they had all the Associated Press facilities, had agreed not to display bulletins, and the only news to be had was in the various one-sheet hand-bills that began to be peddled about at enormous prices early on Saturday. The principal one of these was the Chicago War News, containing news two and three days old, but it easily brought a nickel. Milwaukee got papers down early. Cincinnati papers arrived at noon, and a little later those from St. Louis. They were eagerly bought up at prices rang ing from 5c to 25c. Many business es tablishments displayed private bulle tins of the war, securing their informa tion from New York, St. Louis, Cincin nati, Minneapolis and other-cities. But the main information was hawked about by word of mouth. From the res idence districts messengers were sent downtown to learn what was going on. All over the city groups of curious peo ple surrounded men who had managed to get a peep at the Stock Yards Sun or Joliet News, which were among the most popular of the publications hawk ed about. The latter had the only scoop of the day. It annotinced a strike of stereotypers in New York, and said the movement was spreading all over the country. It is reported thht stereotypers are already on their way here to fill the vacancies. Should the Allied Trades refuse to work -with them, the strike may possibly take on immense propor tions. The printers must either do this or throw over the stereotypers now on strike. OFFICIAL ACTION. Indianapolis. Ind., July 4. The exec utive council of the International Typo graphical Union is meeting here to take action on the strike ot fctereotypers Union No. 4, in Chicago. President Prescott, Third Vice Presi dent Miller and Secretary Bramwood are all here, while the other two mem bers, Perry of Nashville, and Sullivan of New. York, will act by telegraphic communication. The officials here say they know nothing of the merits of the strike. Their sanction was not asked. The tripartite agreement provides in section 9 that members of unions in the alliance must seek the sanction of su perior bodies to order a strike. The International Typographical Un ion is closely involved in the present difficulty, as is also the International Printing Pressmen's Union. A committee from the pressmen's union waited on the publishers Sun day, asking for an opportunity to act as a committee on conciliatiyi but the publishers refused absolute? to have anything to do with the stereotypers' union in any way hereafter, declaring that none of its members would be per mitted to work in any of their offices again. A special train from Milwaukee over the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railway came in Sunday night bringing extra editions of Milwaukee evening papers to partly supply the de mand of Chicago readers. The run was made in one hour and thirty-five min utes, nearly a mile a minute, and the papers were disposed of to eager citi zens almost as soon as they appeared on the street.

"LITTLEGIAflT." Fred Funston Orders a Saloon Battered Down And Thereby Secured a New Title. SOLDIERS LOCKED IN. Sends Provost Guard After the Kansans And Orders Them to Perform the Mission, San Francisco, July i. Colonel Fun ston commanding the Twentieth Kan sas, learned yesterday that three of his men reported absent from camp, were forcibly restrained in a saloon. Col onel Funston whom Gen. King has characterized ''the little giant," Imme diately sent a provost guard of a lieu tenant and eight armed men to release the soldiers and ordered if any opposi tion were offered by the proprietor of the place to break down the building unless permitted to enter at once. The formidable looking guard had no difficulty in finding the soldiers, who were locked in an inside room. The men had originally entered the place with plenty of money, and their captor was entertaining them and re straining them while they Were rapidly getting rid of it buying drinks. HOT PLACE FOR CHILIANS. Commodore Schley's Suggestion at City, July 4. A Kansas man who saw Commodore Schley every day for several months, tells some interest ing things about the American sailor. At the time the Kansan met him he was Captain Schley on the lighthouse ser vice at Tompkinsville, Staten Island, the anchorage for naval vessels. Said the Kansas man, in speaking of Mr. Schley: "Schley is one of the most companion able men I ever met, and one of the most picturesquely profane. I had the honor to report to him every morning concerning some work I was doing on the coast. I usually arrived at his of fice about 9 o'clock, shortly after Mr. Schley would make his appearance. Then he would sit down for a chat. We talked of everything, except politics, or rather he did, and an hour and some times two would slip by. I would be anxious to get to my work, but his con versation was so generally agreeable that I did not worry much. In the meantime his chief clerk would appear with a big bunch of correspondence for the captain to look over. He would stand around and cough and hum and haw, and make all sorts of motions to attract Captain Schley's attention, but without avail. We might be discussing blue fish or high explosives or electric ity, for Captain Schley had the best fund of all around information of any man of my acquaintance. After the clerk had fussed around for sometime Schley would turn and look at him. 'Here's the letters, sir,' the clerk would say. 'Get out of here, you lubber,' the captain would roar. 'Damn it, sir, can't you see I'm very busy?" then he would continue to tell me the proper way to cook a sea bass or how to lay a submarine cable. "An officer who was with him in Chili in 1891, when Schley commanded the Baltimore, sent to Valparaiso to settle the dispute growing out of the shooting of United States sailors, told me of a characteristic Schley expression used at the time. Several of his marines had been arrested and thrown Into prison. When Schley heard of it he cleared for action and sent word ashore: 'If those marines are not on board my ship in two hours I'll fill hell with Chilians." "Schley is of the type of old time, dashing, dare-devil sea officer who make the naval reputation of this coun try. He is fiery and impetuous and ca pable of doing brilliant tilings. It is my opinion, based on some experience and first rate information, that this very dashing quality has served to keep Schley from his rightful place at the head of the fleets in Cuban waters. The administration was afraid of him. The navy department is extremely cau tious, and set the brave but very cau tious Sampson over Schley as a weight to hold him down. If Schley had been at San Juan instead of in Hampton Roads he wouldn't have left the forts half battered; he would have swept them off the face of the earth and ta ken the chance of being reprimanded afterward, and he probably would have gone into Santiago bay and got Cer vera. He is the same sort of a chap as Dewey, but fortunately for Dewey he was too far away to have his every movement directed from a desk in Washington. "You would take Schley to be a sailor and a commander of men at first sight. He is positive and strong in his lan guage: he goes right to the point with quick decision when giving an order and he is a courteous gentleman in all his dealings. I hope he will have the op oprtunity, for I know he will distin guish himself as brilliantly as did George Dewey." TO ALL LOYAL KANSANS. Patriotic Women of Topeka Save Or ganized the Army Relief Society. The object is to furnish necessary comforts for the soldier boys of Kan sas who are sick or in hospitals.

McPherson Waterworks Eugiu eer Stood Idle While a Conflagration Consum ed the City. DAMAGE WAS $100,000. Excited Citizens Armed With Revolvers Compel the Engineer to In crease Pressure. McPherson, Kan., July 4. Subsequent event3 may prove that a most dastardly attempt at incendiarism was perpetrated here. The First National bank building was discovered to be on fire in the third story, and when the alarm was turned In no response was given by the fire whistles at the station and fully ten minutes elapsed before the alarm could ba given by the church bells and the whistle at the ice plant. When the fire company finally "arrived, it was found that the water company, which has refused to furnish water to the City, had shut oft the pressure and the water could not be thrown over a picket fence. A committee was immediately or ganized and went to the engine house and the engineer was covered with revolvers and told to start the engines. He explained that he was acting under the orders of Judge Williams, who had Instructed him that In case of fire in the city, he was to cut off the water supply, but not liking the temper of the commit tee and the looks of the revolvers, he proceeded to instruct the committee how the pressure could be put on which was done by them. By this time the entire third story of the building was in flames. Four streams of water were turned on the building and the tire was prevented from spreading to other buildings. The two-story brick adjoining, belong ing to George L. Conn, was saved, though damaged by fire and water, in the rear considerably. The First National bank building was erected in 1S87 and was one of the hand somest buildings in this part of the state, being built of pressed brick and costing $43,OuO. It was insured for $2j,000. The entire building, with most of the contents, was a total loss. Dr. George Matchette being the heaviest loser, his instruments, apparatus, library and papers, estimated at $6,000, being totally destroyed. Insur ance, $1,000. J. F. Landerers' entire stock of clothing and gentlemen's goods was destroyed, estimated at $16,000. insured for $13,0000. The furniture of the Citizens' State bank. Allison Wright's abstract office, W. H. Broughton Co.'s musical instruments. H. E. Larimer's tailoring house, E. W. Huber's real estate office, D. A. Bradley, receiver of the First State bank: John It. Wright's real estate office and C. S. Porter's loan office were a total loss. Most of the law library and furni ture belonging to D. P. Lindsay was saved. The entire loss Is estimated at over $100,000. In the third story of the build ing was the Odd Fellows' lodge, in which were several other similar organizations. The paraphernalia belonging to these or ders was destroyed. Several theories are advanced as to the cause of the fire. It is fortunate for the city that the fire occurred as it did, for there was no wind blowing and a heavy rain was falling. It was just 12 o'clock when the fire was dis covered, and it burned hotly for an hour and forty minutes. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL SUED On Account of the Contract for Pav ing at the State House. Governor Leedy and the other state officers have been sued in the district court and they have been enjoined from awarding the contract for paving the state house walks and drives. The restraining order was secured by Watson Co., who were contesting bidders for the contract. Mr. Wat son was the lowest bidder by 2 cents per square yard and he claims that the contract should have been awarded to him instead of the Gilson Asphalt com pany. He brings the suit on the ground that the executive council had no right to award the contract except to the lowest responsible bidder. The executive council based its ac tion upon the fact that Mr. Watson has not been in the paving business while the Gilson company is established and is doing an extensive business in pav ing. The council made an examination of pavement put down by the Gilson company in Sedalia before the contract was awarded and found the work ex cellent. Acting upon the theory that it would be experimental to give the contract to a new company the council voted to give the work to the Gilson company as the difference in the bids was slight. Money for the 22nd. The receipts from the entertainment at Hamilton hall Friday evening given by Miss Mayme and Lydia Culp netted $35.80. After the expenses for hall rent and flowers were paid $26.80 remained, which will be forwarded to Col. H. C. Lindsey of the Twenty-second Kansas volunteers at Falls Church, Va., to be used as most needed in the hospital. Topeka Prize Winners.

UNEQUALLED. Never Before Has Topeka Seen Such a Celebration Of the Anniversary of the Na tion's Birth. GLORIOUS YICTOHIES Won by Our Arms in Cuba and the Philippines Come in For a Large Share in the Enthusiasm. When in the course of human events" it becomes necessary for young America to uncork itself, and there is 'revelry by night" which grows more revelous as the daylight advances and finally attains the exact definition of the phrase, "indulgment without re straint," it is pretty safe to conolude that the Fourth of July is at hand. Ac cording to this method of calculation the average citizen would have but lit tle trouble in realizing that this was the glorious Fourth even had he in some manner lost all account of time. Taking1 the word of a respectable To peka citizen, who is a pillar of the church he attends, this is not only the Fourth of July but the fourth day since the celebration of the Fourth com menced. The men who sell fireworks in Topeka bear out his statement by saying that the sale of patriotic articles started off heavy as early as the morn ing of Friday last. This means that the entire month of July has so far been dedicated to the observance of the na tional holiday. But as has been remarked a hundred times on the streets of Topeka today, "Who cares for the noise; we have something to celebrate for." This is the sentiment in this city and throughout the country. It is the first Fourth of July in the lives of the younger popu lation that the nation has been engaged in active warfare. Dewey's victory in Manila bay is but two months past. And now, with remarkable appropriate ness, comes the news of the sinking of the entire Spanish fleet at Santiago by Sampson's squadron. Who, indeed, cares for the noise. Multiplied a hundred times it would fail to fully express the enthusiasm of the people. There is more of it this year than there has been any year since the little party of pioneers stopped at the site of the city and'established the future cap ital of the state. Neither is its produc tion eonrined to the younger generation, but fathers and uncles and big broth ers, who for years have given evidence of having outgrown any tendencies of this nature, are working off with shot guns, toy cannons and firecrackers some of the surplus patriotism aroused by the present conditions. An evidence of the truth of this state ment was seen on Kansas avenue this morning. A delegation of well known Topeka men, headed by Tom Doran and Cy Leland, marched up and down the street, shouting and occasionally break ing into patriotic song. Doran carried an immense American flag, and every man in the party was supplied with a bunch of firecrackers. Besides Doran and Leland, the delegation included A. W. Dana, James Larimer, Judge Kerry, J. B. Furry. John Waters, W. P. Tom linson, Oscar Bischoff, M. F. Hankla, Charles Magaw and Ed Jones of Hol ton. While Topeka is expressing in no un certain manner the enthusiasm of the occasion, yet it is worthy of note that the old fashioned method of observing the day has entirely disappeared. Only at the fair grounds is the Declaration of Independence to be read and speeches made, and this celebration is exclusive ly 'for the colored people. The majori ty of the Topeka orators are filling en gagements in various Kansas towns, and those who have remained at home have no opportunity of displaying their talents. At Garfield Park. At Garfield park the celebration of the day is under the auspices of Marshall's band. The first concert was given this morning commencing at 10 o'clock, and the fourth and last concert will be giv en this evening commencing at 8 o'clock. Two concerts are scheduled for the afternoon. At 5 o'clock this afternoon there will be a balloon ascen sion and double parachute leap by Prof. Kinnebrew and his dog "Dewey," and at 9:30 this evening there will be a display of fireworks including patriotic set pieces. The programme for the concerts is an exceptionally fine one, and is as follows: 10:30 A. M. GRAND CONCERT. 1. March "Chilkoot" R-.ncovleri "First Heart Throbs" Eilenberg 3.

"Americt" Several hundred people are spending the day at the park, going there early and taking their dinners with them. Several thousand people will hear the J concert and see the display of fireworks tonight if the weather continues fair. Many Topeka people left ealy this morning in picnic parties to spend the day in various groves and at farm places near the city. At the city park the Wesleyan and F'ree Methodist churches and the Volunteers of Amer ica are observing the day by holding religious services. At the Fair Grounds. The celebration at the fair grounds this afternoon is complimentary to the colored volunteer soldiers now camped there. Addresses will be made by Rev. J. R. Ransom, Rev. G. B. Foster, Rev. W .L. Grant, Rev. G. D. Olden, Majors Beck and Brown and Captains Harvey and Reynolds, and the Declaration of Independence will be read by Prof. Page. Jackson's band will furnish the music. Af Athletic Park. At Athletic park base ball is enter taining a portion of Topeka's popula tion. A game between the Topeka team and Sehmeltzers of Kansas City was played at 10 o'clock this morning, and a second game is scheduled for 4 o'clock this afternoon. State House Deserted. The state house is practically desert ed today. But one official will work at his desk all day and that is Bank Com missioner Breidenthal. SseretaYy of State Bush "came down and opened his office and Assistant Sec retary of State Ross tried to work but found nothing to do. Major Shreve acted as governor, private secretary and everything else in the executive office. Governor Leedy went to Wich ita last night. Mr. Breidenthal is working on the affairs of the exploded Kirby bank of Abilene. He says that he has not had a day off for 18 years and does not pro pose to commence now even if the Spanish fleet is at the bottom of the sea. This afternoon all the doors are lock ed and the clerks and every one with the exception of Mr. Breidenthal, is helping to celebrate the nation's holi day. ADVANCE FROM CAMP THOMAS 15 Regiments Expected to Go For ward Tomorrow. Chickamauga Park, July 4. Although the officials at headquarters continue to maintain great secrecy in regard to the movement of troops from here to Cuba, it is E-enerally believed that the movement will begin tomorrow. Fifteen regiments are under emergen cy orders and the indications are that the start wil be made at once. Prep arations are being rushed today and a rare scene of activity is witnessed. The regiments which go out first are as fol lows: First Kentucky, Third Wisconsin, Fifth Illinois, Fourth Ohio, Third Il linois, Fourth Pennsylvania, Sixteenth Pennsylvania, Second Wisconsin, Third Kentucky, Thirty-first Michigan, One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana, Sixth Ohio, One Hundred and Fifty-eighth Indiana, First West Virginia. Closely following these it is believed, will be the other regiments of the First corps. The destination of the troops is not known. It is currently reported that plans have been changed end that Santiago, instead of Porto Rico, will be the objective point. The railroads are ready for the emergency. The Western Atlantic has 125 cars arranged in trains of twelve cars each and provided with water barrels stand ing in their yard, while the Southern has about 200 cars similarly arranged and equipped in its yards. These trains can leave in short order. A number of engines, sufficient to pull each and ev ery train is being held in reserve in the roundhouses of these two roads. The work of paying the men is now being rushed. Every effort is being made to dispose of the regiments of the first corps before they are moved away. The payments are progressing at the rate of half a dozen regiments a day. The entire work will likely be finished this week. A thorough: soldier. Omaha Mourns the Death of Colonel "WikofE Omaha, Neb., July 4. Among both army men and civilians here the expressions of regret at the death of Colonel Charles A. Wiknff are general. He was every inch a soldier, courteous and unassuming, and his army record is one of long and ardu ous service. He was born in Pennsylvania March 8. 1S3T. and had he lived he would not have retired until 1901. He was appointed to the regular army -from civil life. He enlisted in the late war of the rebellion as a private in company H. First Pennsyl vania infamry and discharged soon after and commissioned lirst lieutenant of the Fifteenth infantry. He was made cap tain August 15. 1S64. and transferred to the Twenty-fourth infantry in September, IStiG. and to the Eleventh in April, 1S69. He was promoted to major of the Four teenth infantry December 8. 18SG, lieuten ant colonel of the Nineteenth infantry in lKl'l and was recently commissioned colo nel and assigned to the Twenty-second in fantry and was in command of the regi ment when it was ordered south from Fort Crook, just previous to the breaking out of the present war. Aside from these jiromotions in the ordinary course of army life, he was brevetted captain in April, 1S;2, for "gallant and meritorious services in the battles of Chickamauga and Mis sion Ridge."

London Papers Praisa American Soldiery and Suggest Peace. London, July 4. The editorials in the Daily Graphic and Times fairly present the opinion of the London newspapers. There is no word of blame but rather unstinting- admiration for General Shaf ter's bravery; yet all remark that America finds Santiago a tougher task than she anticipated. Spain, it is sug gested, might now sue for peace on honorable terms, but it is not thought she is likely to do so. The Standard says: "On the whole, while we cannot ex press too highly our familiar pride in the gallant bearing of the American troops, it appears to us that the pros pects before the United States is one sufficiently ominous to make this a mo ment when wise approach on the part of Spain toward peace on reasonable terms ought to be received with much alacrity by President McKinley. Why wait till suffering has hardened the hearts of the Americans and strength ened the nation's resolve." London, July 4. The Times this morning, discussing the fighting at El Caney, says: "Both sides have shown courage of a very high order and it is hard to say whether the splendid dash and bravery of the American advance in the teeth of a galling fire, or the stubborn tenacity of the Spanish defense is the more ad mirable. "Both sides have learned to apprec iate the splendid military qualities of their adversaries. "It is a pity that enemies who show themselves such worthy foemen in the field can not see their way to save bloodshed by coming immediately to an arrangement on the inevitable basis. "The Spaniards have vindicated their honor and if they were wise they would now prevail their common sense by of fering terms to their opponents, terms which, if they were reasonable, would almost certainly be discussed in a gen erous spirit." London, July 4. The Daily Graphic in its editorial observes: "The signal gal lantry and devotion displayed by both Spaniards and Americans must be recognized. The behavior of the Ameri cans send a thrill of pride throughout the Anglo-Saxon world. The story of the splendid manner in which the rough riders carried San Juan is instinct, with the indomitable spirit of Baiaklava." The Daily Graphic says, however, that "the blunder lies deeper than any mere temporary miscalculation," adding that "the Americans cast their net too widely as it might have been better to have left Santiago and Manila alone and to have concentrated their efforts upon Havana." WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS. Two more .iointists are in trouble. This time it is Francis Brown, who was fined $2'M and sentenced to 90 days in the county jail for selling liquor in North Topeka. Barry Brooks was convicted of. selling liquor, but failed to appear to be sen tenced, so the sheriff went after him and he is now in the county jail awaiting sen tence. Brown also failed to appear and was "sent for." Patrolman Smith made his first arrest this morning, when he took into custody p:d McXeal, colored, on the charge of fast driving. The arrest was made at 6 a. m.. when McNeal was enjoying an early morning "go" at too high a rate of speed. Arthur Dudley, colored, was arrested Sunday noon by Patrolman Lucas for fighting. He quarreled with another col ored man and attacked him. A dark-eyed denizen of Smoky Row last night went on a terrific drunk, but left the usual haunts of the Row and went to North Topeka. Of course she got in trouble. It was Delia Bright, who used to be known as Delia May. She is the tough colored woman who several weeks ago. while in a drunken delirium, smash ed the windows in the women's ward of the city jail. Patrolman Maze found Delia in North Topeka at midnight and arrested her. She fought desperately, but was overpowered and taken to the city jail, where she was locked in a cell. She yellect and screamed nearly all the re mainder of the night. YACHT CAPSIZED. Three Young Men Drown During a Storm. Hamilton, Ont., July 4. Three young men, Charles Searley, Roy Sinnet and Charles Williams, were drowned in the nay here last night during a storm. They were sailing a clinker-built yacht when it began to fill and in endeavoring to bail it out, the tiller was left un guarded for a moment and the yacht capsized. The three men and one other named Long started to swim ashore. The result was that three were drowned Long barely managing to reach the shore. Much damage was done by the storm and several yachts broke from the moorings and were damaged by col lisions. CAPT. WATERS HEARS News of the Victory Wired to Him at Scandia. Capt. Joseph G. Waters is the Fourth of July orator at Scandia today. Before he left he was very uneasy lest he should not receive the latest returns from Santiago today as the telegraphic press reports would not reach there. His son. John Waters, and Thos. F.

Olden Continues His Cru sade Against Vice. Rev. G. D. Olden delivered a sermon last night at the First African Baptist church on the question, "Shall the Dens of Vice" be Allowed to Kxist?" In part. Rev Olden said: "How can the rising generations be taught to shun these places of ruin? Teach your children to obey and these dens of vice will be driven from our midst. "As I passed one of these miserable places on Kansas avenue I noticed boj's from 16 to 20 years of age. They guyed me because they knew that I am try ing to drive these places out of the city. "What prevents us from doing so very much in this line of work is jealousy. The ministers will not stand together. If one minister tries to push this work the others say he is trying to make himself prominent. "To get rid of these places we have to go in among them, fight the lion in his den. The police do not drive them out because they say the people do not back them up. Let the people say it shall be stopped and it will be stopped. "Go down Kansas avenue and you will see women drunk in front of these dens. They certainly affect the whole community. "The political machines will never drive these dens of vice from our midst. You can not reiy on the promises of politicians. Police who will arrest one end let another go are not fit for duty. I say arrest all. "I want the co-operation of all the colored people in Topeka to he'p the good work along. Before long ve- will arrange for a mass meeting in Hamil ton hall an anti-vice meeting.'! K u- iwveiVTOiwS.
