The Battle of Caloocan Lasted Three Honrs. The Insurgents Flee Mountains. to the Manila, Feb. 11.-11:15 a. m. The fol lowing additional particulars regarding the capture of Caloocan have been ob tained: The Insurgents had been concentrat ing their forces for days at Caloocan end Major General Elwell S. Otis, the American commander, determined to attack them. He Instructed his com manders accordingly and requested the assistance of the naval forces under the command of Rear Admiral Dewey. Major General MacArthur reported that all was ready and at 3 o'clock he re ceived the following message: The commanding general orders you to go ahead with the programme. (Signed), BARRY." The attack began Immediately. The monitor Monadnock and the cruiser Charleston shelled Caloocan and the K of it for half an hour. General MaeArthur's artillery also did effective work from a hill in the rear. Brigadier General Harrison Gray Otis with his brigade, consisting of the Kansas regiment, the Montana regi ment and the Third artillery regulars, acting as infantry, advanced handsome ly, pushing forward In the face of the Filipino bullets as cheerfully as if they had been snowballs. The enemy was utterly routed and fled to the mountains. A"T"6 o'clock "cease firing" and "recall' were sounded. The troops were then well through Caloocan and north of it. General MacArthur established his left at Caloocan and strengthened his lines for the night. By the capture of Caloocan, the con trol of much of the rolling stock of the Manila-Dagupan railroad was obtained. The city Is now quiet and business is better than at any time since the out break of hostilities. The American losses yesterday were three men lulled and 32 wounded. Amon the wounded are gallant Lieutenant Colonel Bruce "Wallace of the Montana regiment and a lieutenant of the Second cavalry who was shot through the lung while leading a charge across the open country. The enemy lost heavily. DKWEY SHELLS THE CAMP. Manila, Feb. 11. 2:30 p. m. Early to day the monitor Monadnock and the cruiser Charleston began dropping shells Into the Filipino camp between Caloocan and Malabon. The enemy's sharpshooters in the Jungle on the American left had been particularly an noying since daylight, so the Third ar tillery drove the rebels out of the jungle at noon. In the meantime a few more of our men were wounded. Bass, an artist representing Harper's Weekly, was shot in the arm yesterday. The loss of the enemy is estimated at fully fifty killed and wounded, to one American killed or wounded. KAN SANS LED. An English Account of the Charge at Caloocan. London, Feb. 11. A dispatch to Reu ters Telegraph company from Manila, describing the capture of Caloocan, dwells upon the excellence of the American plans and the precision with which they were carried out. The dis patch adds: "At 4 p. m. the American ships ceised firing. Then the army fired three guns at an interval of ten seconds signalling the advance of the whole line, the Kansas regiment leading through the jungle. The Filipino's left wing was diverted by Major Bell and a hundred men. It was like clockwork. There was no hitch anywhere. 'The insurgents, estimated to have ten thousand men. were demoralized by the shells. The Americans advanced in open order. At 500 yards there was a halt and then a charge and the Filipinos stampeded from their trenches which were admirably constructed. The Americans refrained from wasting am munition but rushed on without firing and used their bayonets and the butts of their rifles. There was a. heavy slaughter. "The railroad is practically uninjured. Today the ships are shelling beyond Caloocan. "The Americans win probably reach Malabon today and Malolos in a fort night." Dispatches to the Globe from Hong Kong say the Filipino Junta there has received, by steamer from Manila, fur ther news of the recent fighting. The Filipino agents say the Ameri cans placed vessels along the shores of the bay and commenced hostilities "un expectedly at midnight on Saturday THE WHITE MAN'S BURDEN simultaneously bombarding the defense less towns of Fondo, Malak and Mala bon." The agents of the rebels also say: "The slaughter of the opposition was frightful, the Americans turning and devastating all before them, conduct ing a war of extermination and shooting every Filipino." The agents of the Filipinos declare their Intention of "appealing to Chris tendom," and say their indignation against the Americans is Intense. LIST OF CASUALTIES.

He is a gradu ate of the '90 class of Harvard and served as war correspondent for the Daily News of London during the Turkish-Greek war. ANDREEAT LAST. Remains of the Explorer and His Balloon Probably Found. Krasnoyarsk. Siberia, Feb. 11. A gold mine owner named Monastyraschin has received a letter saying that a tribe of Turgusos, inhabiting the Timur penin sula, north Siberia, recently informed the Russian police chief of the district, that on January 7 last, between Komo and Pitt, in the province of Yeniseisk, I'm the Coldest Thing; they found a cabin constructed of cloth end cordage, apparently belonging to a balloon. Close by were the bodies ot three men, the head of one badly crushed. Around them were a number of instruments, the use.1? of vhich were not understood by the Turgusos. The police chief started for the spot to investigate, and it is believed that the bodies are those of the aeronaut, Herr Andree. and his companions. The balloon Eagle, with Prof. Andree and two companions, Strindeberg and Fronkel, in the car. left Danes island, off the Spitzbergen group, on July 11, 1S97, in an attempt to cross the north polar point. No definite news of the aeronauts has been received beyond the message attached to a carrier pigeon, found by the whaling ship Falken, which arrived at Copenhagen Septem ber 2. The message read: "July 13, 12:30 p. m.. latitude 82.02 north, longitude 12.5 east. Good voyage eastward. All well." ANDREE'S BROTHER Does Not Believe the Aeronauts' Re mains Have Been Found. Malmo, Sweden, Feb. 11. The brother of Prof. Andree, the missing balloonist, who attempted to cross the Arctic re gions, has informed a local newspaper that he does not believe the report that the remains of Andree and his com panions and the car of the balloon in which he left Danes Island of the Spitz bergen group on July 11, 1897, have been found between Kemo and Pit. in the province of Yeniseisk. He says that locality is cultivated and that it appears incredible that the corpses and the car of the balloon could have been there a year and a half without having been seen before this. Furthermore, An dree's brother points out In stormy weather the bodies would almost cer tainly have been separated from the wreck. WANT A COURT SESSION. Salina Would lake to Have Its Fed eral Building Used. Salina. Kan., Feb. 11. An effort is be ing made to have sessions of the United States federal court held in Salina. Leading citizens are bringing influence to bear on Judge Hook to get him to name Salina as one of the points where he will convene court. This city already has a government building. It was erected at a cost of $100,000, and although the upper story was especially designed for holding ses sions of the federal court no federal judge has ever entered the chamber. At present there is no place nearer than Topeka where the people of central and western Kansas can go to attend the federal court. To the residents of the extreme western part of the state this means a trip of nearly 400 miles. The law designates Salina as a place where federal court may be held. Te matter is optional with the judge, however. THEYDIG OUT. LeadTille People Finally Escape From Their Snowy Prison. They Excavate a Cut Through the Snow Banks FITE MILES TO MALTA And a Train of 20 Cars of Coal Is Bun In. Drifts Twenty Feet Deep Around Aspen. Leadville, Feb. 11. CoL Cook's bri gade of snow shovelers succeeded in opening the Denver Rio Grande rail road as far as Malta, five miles below this city, and releasing the trains loaded with coal and provisions that were stalled there. No trains r-re running on the Rio Grande north of Salida and the present coal supply will soon be exhausted. Denver, Feb. 11. The apparently In terminable snowstorm on the moun tains In the vicinity of Leadville re sumed sway after a brief respite dur ing the night. However, the wind and cold abated and the conditions were more favorable for the work of break ing down the snow barriers which have closed the railroads and cut many mountain towns off from communica tion with the outside world. The Leadville mine and smelter man agers made good their offer of a thous and snow shovelers to open the Denver Rio Grande railroad between Lead ville and Malta in order to get coal into That Ever Happened See! the camp. One gang began work at midnight and at 1 o'clock it was re lieved by another. The Little Johnny mine closed down for the day and many others were oper ated by half the usual force. Col. Geo. W. Cook and other mine managers were in charge of the shovel and pick bri gade. Much hard work was required to remove the ice from the rails, but the track was finally cleared so that it was possible to run into Leadville twenty cars of coal that had been stalled at Malta. On the Colorado Midland a large force of men working under the direction of Agent Sneve succeeded in breaking the blockade at Snowden and brought in thirty cars of coal. The Midland people believe they will not need the assistance of the snow shovelers at work on the Rio Grande, but by tomorrow they will have their road entirely open. They started a train from Leadville today, bound for Den ver. The passenger train which left Denver last Tuesday was brought into Leadville and the road is now clear for coal cars, which will be brought in be fore passenger trains. Present estimates are that the down town mines have coal enough to last from three to five days and a supply will be rushed to the Little Johnny and other outlying mines. There are plenty of provisions in the camp and more are promised from the east tomorrow. A shortage which Is felt very much is that of mining timbers which can not be obtained owing to the deep snow. This shortage will delay development work for several months. The situation at Aspen is quite as desperate as at Leadville. No trains are running to the great silver camp on the west of the range and it is re ported that the mines are closing down for want of fuel. There have been snowslides in the camp, but no fatali ties have resulted, so far as known. Mountain roads to surrounding camps have been impassable, as the high winds have piled up the snow fifteen to twenty feet in places. The telephone line from Aspen to Hunter Pass has undoubtedly been swept away by a slide as it went down several days ago. A large force of men are at work shoveling out the road to these mines. West of Leadville the railways are still tied up tightly. In the canyon of the Grand there have been six snow slides. One of them was 490 feet in length and thirty-five feet deep. In it are huge boulders and trees. Superintendent Sampla and Assistant General Manager Schlacks are on the ground superintending the work of clearing the Rio Grande track. The snow shovelers at Shoshone struck today for an increase of wages from 11.75 to J2.50 a day. The Marshall Pass is again closed but the rotary is bucking the drifts there and the narrow gauge may soon be re opened. Down on the Cumbre Pass the storm has put an end to railroading for several days and there are so many other troubles of a more serious nature that at present Cumbres is given the go-by. The two delayed trains which were at Belden were finally released and reach ed Denver today. The passengers on two eastbound trains who bad been staying at Glen wood Springs, were sent back to Ogden via the Rio Grande Western and will be brought east over the Union racmc. It Is believed that the two east bound trains tied up at Mintum will be able to get through tonight. On the South Park line trains are running only as far as Grant. Como, Breckenridge, Kokomo and all towns on the High Line to Leadville are com pletely isolated. No news was received from those places today but is known that in some of them fuel and provis ions are becoming scarce. In the North Park there is about three feet of snow on the level. Travel is impossible on account of the large drifts. Walden has received no mail for a week and expects none for ten days to come. It is doubtful if any freight can reach that town for a month. A snow storm with a cold wind from the north began here today and should another very cold wave follow, it will undoubtedly have disastrous effect on the live stock upon the ranges. BUILDINGS COLLAPSE. At Aspen Under the Weight of Snow Avalanchas Feared. Denver, Feb. 11. Telegraph wires to Aspen which failed yesterday are again in working order. The Times has re ceived the following special dispatch: About two feet of snow fell in the storm of yesterday and the mountain trails and railroads are completely blockaded. A slide damaged the Peo ple's electric plant and the western part of the city was in darkness. People liv ing at the foot of Aspen mountain are moving out to escape the danger of im pending snow slides. Several buildings in the city have collapsed under the great weight of snow but no serious ac cidents have occurred. The danger of a coal famine has again become apparent and some of the big mining companies here have an nounced that they will have to shut down within a day or two. The Mollie Gibson laid off all its men this after noon except the pumping force. TWENTY-SIX BELOW AT OMAHA Private Thermometers Marked as Low as 33 Two Men Frozen. Omaha, Neb., Feb. 11. Twenty-six below zero was the record at the weath er bureau this morning. This is the coldest February day since the office was established here, the previous rec ord being 25 below on February 4. 1SS3. Private thermometers in the suburbs and in exposed places registered from 30 to 33 below zero. The weather is clear and a light but piercing wind from the northwest is blowing. The sun. though brilliant does not appear to have very much effect upon the temper ature and 10 below zero is about tjhe best the weather bureau can offer in the way of encouragement for the day. The only deaths from freezing so far re ported In Nebraska are an intoxicated man at Baxneston and an old man at Binkleman who wandered away from home and has not been found. He is supposed to have perished. ON TOP OF ALL A NORTHER. Still More Bitter Cold Follows Two Weeks of Zero Weather. Denver, Feb. 11. Colorado Is In the grasp of a norther which coming after the serious snow storms of the last two weeks, promises to inflict enormous damage to varied interests. At Lead ville, the blizzard was fierce beyond comparison, and greatly hindred the army of volunteers that cleared the tracks temporarily to allow the hauling of coal to famine threatened bunkers. The storm there abated last night and It is hoped the worst is over. In this city, it is still snowing this morning with the temperature below zero. At Trinidad and many other points south of Denver the mercury fell 50 degrees in two hours. At Colorado Springs the blizzard was accompanied by a fall of 35 degrees In temperature in half an hour. Snow slides are still covering the tracks near Glenwood Springs. The storm Is widespread and weather experts declare that its effects will be more disastrous than those following any blizzard in recent years. An Evans, CoL. special says: "Old timers say that this is the most severe winter since 1872." ICE 60JILES. Lake Michigan Frozen From Shore to Shore and Ves sels Icelocked. Detrolt.Feb. 11.

The tem perature reached 19 degrees below zero here this morning and the extreme cold has caused a suspension of work in the potteries. The clays are so badly fro zen that the potteries will be forced to remain idle several days. ANOTHER ANTI-EXPANSIONIST "Who Ojjht to Be Knocked Out. TOOK A HEADER. Thermometer Went Down to 20 Below Zero And Has Not Climbed Half Waj Back let. NOT SO COLD A NIGHT Since 1892 Some Thermom eters Recorded 22 Below. In Protected Places Others Marked Onlj 18. The thermometer In the weather bu reau office shows that the coldest up to 10 o'clock this morning was IS below rero. The temperature began falling at midnight and fell steadily until it reached 18 degrees below at 6 o'clock this morning. Some thermometers fell as low as 22 below, in the west part of town, and many stood at 19 and 20 be low. The wind is making 20 miles an hour from the northwest and the cold is more penetrating than Thursday when the coldest reached was 17 degrees be low. The forecast for Kansas is "fair and continued cold tonight and Sunday." FROM 15 TO 24 BELOW Reported From Various Points In Kansas Trains Late. The temperature throughout Kansas this morning, according to reports re ceived at the Santa Fe and Rock Island offices here, ranged from 15 to 24 de grees below zero. Fifteen degrees below was the highest temperature reported. The report was from Arkansas City. Twenty-four de grees below was reported from several western and northern points in the state. The fall of snow continued over the state generally all yesterday afternoon and last night. About 10 o'clock the velocity of the wind materially increas ed and the fine light snow commenced to drift. It filled the cuts along the railroad lines, and at an early hour this morning snow plows were placed in operation. All through trains on th Santa Fe and Rock Island roads are from one to three hours late today, but there has been no complete blockade of traffic. Railroad men were probably exposed more to the intense cold than any oth ers. In the handling of freight trains, where the men were compelled to be out in the -cold a great portion of the time switching and coupling and un coupling cars, considerable suffering re sulted. Reports have been received to day of a number of frozen faces, ears, fingers and toes. Reports received at the Santa Fe of fices indicate that the cold was not as severe in other states as it was in Kansas. In Chillicothe, 111., the tem perature fell no lower than the zero mark. At Marceline, Mo., the temper ature early this morning was 14 degrees below. A report of 12 degrees below was received from La Junta, Col., and one of 10 degrees below from Las Ve gas, New Mexico.

Lydia Shippy Claims to Have Been Married to Hinton. London, Feb. 11. The New York Journal correspondent cables that Vis count Hinton, the organ grinder claim ant to the earldom of Poulett, appears to have matrimonial troubles of his own as well as those inherited from his father, whose queer marriages have caused disputes to the succession of the estates and title. The London Echo publishes today a lengthy statement from Lydia Shippy, who says that she is the real wife of Hinton, who deserted her many years ago. "I am led to make this statement," she writes, "because the woman calling herself the wife of Hinton and who for years has associated herself with him in organ grinding, personating me, is being flaunted in the face of the world. For the sake of my son and daughters and to save the public from being de ceived, I tell my story." The story related by the wife is that while she was leading a. squalid life as a ballet girl in a Surrey theater at $2 a week Hinton married her. He never earned anything. His mother kept them until her death. Hinton's sole oc cupation was trying to raise money from persons on whom he thought he had claims. He made a good many ventures, in which he was backed by some fashionable dames. In November, 1872, the dowagers raised him a capital of J500, with which he got together a trope named "Lord Hinton's Burlesque Comedy company." It consisted of eight players, himself included, with an orchestra of three, a cornet, pianist and fiddler. He opened at Bishop Stortford with the "Haunted House" and the bur lesque "Beauty and the Beast." On the first night the curtain rose to an audience of seven, and so it went on night after night. At tlie end of the week the gross receipts amounted to J9.25. Lord Hinton paid a fortnight's salary ail around, sold his second-hand scenery for $25 and came back to town minus his $500. After this some grand dame gave him an introduction to Horace Wigan, who engaged him at $9 a week to play the part of "Maurice" in, "All for Her" at the St. James. His stage name then was Harry Dormer. The piece played only four nights, but was subsequently put on at Princess, and Lord Hinton ap peared every night for three months and three weeks. GERMANY'S MEW FIREARM. Kaiser's Soldiers to Be Armed With New Magazine Bine. Berlin, Feb. 11. The Berlin corres pondent of the New York Journal ca bles as follows: Germany is again planning to rearm her infantry forces with a magazine ri fle of some improved pattern. The se cret is being well kept. The minister of war, Lieut. Gen. von Gossler, when re cently asked before the budget commit tee of the reichstag concerning the adoption of a new small calibre rifle, gave an evasive answer. From many sources, however, come indications that a military coup is being prepared. Like all German army moves, the matter Is being carried on quietly and secretly. Definite knowledge of the new arm will not be had until the entire army is suddenly supplied with the weapon. The new gun, I ane reliably informed, will be of small calibre, using, of course, smokeless powder, and the bul let bears no resemblance to the hollow projectile of the English army rifle. "PINK" HAWLEY MAY QUIT. Crack Pitcher of the Beds Objects to Temperance Clause in His Contract. Beaver Dam., "Wis., Feb. 11. Unless the Cincinnati base ball club accedes to the demand of Emerson Pink) Haw ley, the star twirler of the Reds' staff last season, the "Beau Rrummell" of the diamond will not be witb. them the coming season. "Pink" takes a most serious view of the temperance clause in the contract sent him a week ago, and also the cut made in his salary.

Says the Manila Inhabitants Are As a Unit In Their Hatred of the Ameri can People. Madrid, Feb. 11. Senor Delpan, chair man of the Philippine committee In Madrid, gave out an interview today. He is a young lawyer, of European origin, but born in Manila. "One must be blind," he said, "who cannot foresee the inevitable triumph of the Philippine republic. I used to tell the Spaniards, and so now I repeat it to the Yankees, a protectorate is not enough. Our young republic must be free, independ ent, sovereign. We have on our side right, the force of circumstances and even the sympathy of many Ameri cans. NEED NO HELP TO WIN. "Do I think we can keep up the war with a great power like the United States? Do we count on the support of some other nation? I tell you, we need no help! Our best allies are climate, distance, determination! "Are we divided? No, not now. True, in the struggle with the Spaniards we were not all of one mind. I, for In stance, was a partisan of Spain, minus her military tyranny and her odious re ligious oppression. But the Philippines, of course, are now lost forever to Spain, and today all are united. The Indians, the Creoles, the half-breeds, the catho lics, the free-thinkers all are friends of the independent republic; all will die rather than yield. HALF MILLION SOLDIERS NEEDED "The Yankees may bombard our forts and win some battles during the contest now begun, but they never can succeed in subduing 11.000,000 Filipinos who are ready for anything. To make a begin ning of our subjugation would necessi tate sending to the archipelago half a million good soldiers; nor would they tnen see the end. "Will not former advocates of separa tion from Spain, who were aided by the Americans at tne beginning or the war, side with the invaders? Never! Dewey deceived them. Such was his bad faith that he ought to wear the gown of a topanlsn monk. "Will it be possible." it was asked "to secure harmony among the inhab itant of the various islands, separated Dy ola-time rivalries "The people of Luzon, or the Visayas and the Mindonas," Delpan replied, "are unanimous in their hatred of the Ameri cans. 'The Philippines for the Fili pinos" is our Monroe doctrine. Yet the affair may have a peaceful ending. I still hope the great American nation will recognize our independence, but we will have it, whether or no. "There are still savages in the Philip pines, of course. Certainly we have our Ygorrotes, as the Americans have their Indians; but the country as a whole is civilized. Intelligent men are relatively more numerous than in most countries of Europe and the America. "You ask as to our supply of funds for a lortg campaign of resistance? The country is rich. The enthusiasm of the population is inexhaustible. As for th European propaganda, there are alreaoy Philippine committees at Barcelona, Madrid, Paris and Berlin, besides the central committee in London." MUST HVEE A CABLE. Message of the President to Congress on theSubject. Washington, Feb. 11. The president's message on the Pacific cable transmit ted to congress yesterday is as follows: As a consequence of the ratification of the treaty of Paris by the senate of the United States and its expected rat ification by the Spanish government, the United States will come into pos session of the Philippine islands on the farther shores of the Pacific. The Ha waiian islands and Guam being United MERIT MARES IT FAMOUS. The Only Bemedy in the World, Ex cept a Surgical Operation, That Will Certainly Cure Any Form of Piles. The study of physlciara, the experi ments of chemists, th4 loudly advertised pretensions of quacks, have been for years expended in one direction; to find a pile cure that will cure. The results have been a number of harmless, and in most cases usless oint ments, suppositories and even internal remedies, which the public have weigh ed in the balance of experience and found wanting; nearly all of them gave some relief, but nothing approaching a radical cure resulted from these pre pa rations. The remedy required is one that im mediately stops the pain so severe in most cases of piles, and then by con tracting the small blood vessels (capil laries) to their normal size, produces a radical cure by reducing and finally absorbing the tumors and healing the Inflamed, raw mucous surfaces. Until two years ago, no such remedy had been produced, but at that time suppository was placed upon the mar ket, which has since proven Itself to be the long sought permanent cure for this common and distressing trouble; it has rapidly become famous through out the United States and Canada, and is now sold by nearly all druggists un der the name of the Pyramid Pile Cure. It is now the best known, because its merit and safety have advertised it wherever used. It has been advertised by word of mouth, from one sufferer to another; people who had tried every thing else, even submitting to painful and dangerous sugical operations with out avail finally have found that piles may be cured without pain and without expense, practically, as the Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the nominal price of 50 cents and $1.00 per package. The Pyramid instantly stops all pain and at the same time contains no co caine, morphine or narcotics; the acids and healing properties contained in the remedy speedily remove.cause a health ful, natural contraction and absorption of tumors; it will cure any form of rectal trouble except cancer and ad vanced fistula, which by the way, near ly always results from neglecting prop er and timely treatment for piles. As above stated, can furnish you with the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents for ordinary size or $1.00 for large package. A book on cause and cure of piles sent free by addressing Pyramid Co., Mar shall, Mich. States territory and forming convenient stopping places on the way across the sea, the necessity for speedy cable communication between the United States and all the Facifio islands has become imperative. Such communication should be estab lished in such way as to be wholly un der the control of the United States whether in time of peace or war. At present the Philippines can be reached only by cables which pass through many foreign countries and the Ha waiian islands and Guam can only be communicated with by steamers in volving delays In each instance of at least a week. The present condition should not be allowed to continue for a moment longer than is absolutely nec essary. The time has now arrived when a ca ble in the Pacific must extend as far as Manila, touching at the Hawaiian islands and Guam on the way. Two methods of establishing this cable communication at once suggest them selves: First, construction and main tenance of such a cable at the expense of the United States government and second, construction and maintenance of such a cable by a private United States corporation under such, a safe guard as congress shall impose. I do not make any recommendation to congress as to which of these meth ods would be the more desirable. A ca ble of the length of that proposed re quires so .much time for construction and laying that it is estimated hat at least two years must elapse after giv ing the order for the cable before the entire system could be successfully laid and put in operation. Further deep sea soundings must he taken west of the Hawaiians islands before the best route for the cable can be selected. Under these circumstances it becomes a para mount necessity that measures should be taken before the close of the present congress to provide such means as may seem suitable for the establishment of a cable system. I recommend the whole subject to the careful consideration of the con gress and to such prompt action as may seem advisable. (Signed) WM .M'KINLEY. Executive Mansion. Washington, D. C, Feb. 10, 1S99. NATURAL INK OF GEORGIA. Jug of It Sent Lord Rosebery as a Memento of Alex. H. Stephens. Crawfordsville, Ga., Feb. 11. One of the intimate friends of Alexander H. Stephens, the vice president of the Con federacy, has just shipped to England a gallon of natural ink. a product of Georgia soil, to the address of Lord Rosebery, the distinguished politician who once held the reins of the British government. This little Incident is the culmination of a peculiar and interesting story.Some 20 years ago, when Stephens was In his prime, Lord Rosebery visited the Uni ted States. The two men met, and In a few weeks were on an intimate foot ing. Mr. Stephens had a genial manner, splendid Intellect and brilliant conver sational abilities. Lord Rosebery was much attached to him, and they spent much time together. Toward the end of the Englishman's stay he accepted the invitation of Mr. Stephens and came for a few weeks to the patriarchal homestead near this town. Crawford ville was then in its swaddling clothes, and a fine specimen of the quiet Amer ican country town. Lord Rosebery was charmed with the hospitality of the people and the many quaint characters he found here, and declared he had spent one of the pleasantest times in the history of his life. Among other In teresting things which Stephens show ed him was some natural Ink, whfch flows from a peculiar spring at the base of Kennesaw nountain, near Mar ietta, Ga., and which he used for all purposes of record and correspondence. The liquid was a little heavier than the manufactured article. But left a perma nent stain, which, made it a valuable agent where documents were to be pre served. Lord Rosebery finally return ed home, and kept up a constant cor- l t' v. 1 rcj.ui i uciilc nun iui, 3 y lie no uiu A few days since the heirs of the former vice president received a letter from the ex-premier asking that some of the ink be bottled and sent to him, as he wished to exhibit it to his friends, and adopt it for his personal use, if practicable. His request was complied with, and in a few days the ink will arrive in England and be shown around as a natural freak from the United States. TO INVESTIGATE PINGREE.

SAGE CORRECTS GOULD. Haa Not Decided to Use Electricity on New York's L Road. New York, Feb.ll. Russell Sage says George Gould talks too much. This in connection with the announcement made by Mr. Gould that electricity is to supplant steam as motive power for the elevated road. "We have not decided on electricity as a motive power for the 'L,' said Mr. Sage. "This story that we have is unwarranted. All we have done is to consider the change. The published statements Mr. Gould has made are not accurate. Mr. Gould is chairman of a committee which was appointed to con sider the question of improvements. That committee has no power to decide on improvements, and it has no money with which to make improvements.even if it had the power. All that power lies with the directors. There will not be a meeting until February 28." COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS. Walker Whiteside will be seen at the Grand Opera House next Tuesday night as "Captain Martel" in "The Red Cockade."

Can it be avoided or prevented. And can it be cured? Grip is characterized by a continued fever, by a tendency to inflammation of the membranes of the digestive and often the respiratory tracts, by pain in the muscles, and by debility. The grip In individual cases varies from a slight indisposition to severe forms with grave symptoms these var iations depending wholly upon the health, age, temperament or nervous condition of the person. Those predis posed to rheumatism suffer great pain in the muscles; persons of nervous tem perament become low spirited. often have hysteria, and, if not closely watched, have been known to commit suicide. Several cases of this sort have been reported this month in the news papers. Headache is a constant symp tom. The bowels are generally consti pated. Whatever form the disease takes there is invariably extreme prostration. The danger to persons In previous healthful condition is slight. It has been absolutely proven that there is one certain preventive of ser ious cases of grip; and that there is one remedy for persons suffering with it, or beginning to be convalescent from its attack. The unexampled public demand for Palne's celery compound during the last two months and the proprietors of this HAS REACHED TOPEKA. Dr, Longshore-Potts One of the Most Noted Lecturers in the World. Next Monday Mrs. Longshore-Potts, M. D., will begin a' course of six lec tures at the Crawford. She has been heard with every evidence -of esteem and appreciation, by numerous large English and other foreign audiences, and very recently in New York, Boston and Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. Her American and foreign testi monials are from the most eminent people and are full of high praise. Among her American documents is an address engrossed on parchment, which says: "Fully recognizing your superior worth and ability, having become satis fied that your platform lectures are not only highly instructive, but invaluable." This bears the autograph signature of Caroline Scott Harrison, then mistress of the White House, and of many in fluential women; also of Mary Harrison McKee, and of the wife of the governor of Indiana, and Mrs. May Wright Sewell, president of the Pr&spalean club, the wives of ex-governors, of senators and representatives, the women presi dents of charitable associations, and members of the Daughters of the Revo lution are among the signers.

A person will continue to suffer from the evil effects of grip for many months unless he attacks the disease by getting rid of the unnatural, unhealthy poisons in the system, supplying the body with new blood, arousing the healthful ac tion of the kidneys, liver and digestive organs, and nourishing and up-building the over-exerted and debilitated ner vous system. All this and just this Paine's celery compound will do. In the multitude of cases where it has been used, it has never failed. A case well known in Chicago is cited. Mr. Frank E. Davidson, who is one of the most brilliant and best known engineers in the world, had just finished the plans for the great inter cepting sewer system of Chicago, which is to divert the entire sewerage of the city from Lake Michigan, through the famous Chicago drainage canal, and down the Mississippi. Superintendent Davidson had worked for months on this scheme. He was well nigh ex hausted and took to his bed with an at tack of grip. After a while the disease her receptions were crowded with dis tinguished people. The lectures are to be finely illustrated with dissolving views of art objects and scenery abroad and of the subjects discussed. These lectures are sure to be of much interest and value to women. There will be one evening lecture to both sexes on Mon day. Both introductory lectures are to be free. RICH STRIKE OF COPPER. Adlal Stevenson's Son Uncovers a Fortune in New Mexico. Silver City, N.

He has been interested with the Hearst estate in the Montoya proper ties, now worked under lease by over two hundred miners under the firm name of Stevenson McGregor. A strike has been made at a depth of thirty feet, where a shot blew out masses of cop per ore that run in sheets and lumps ranging from five to eighty pounds.

New York, Feb. 11. The governing committee of the New York stock ex change, in accordance with, a request of the members, decided to close the exchange to-day the day before Lin coln's birthday. Thia will result in a holiday for the brokers from Friday afternoon until Tuesday morning. The request for closing was made on the ground that the clerical machinery In Wall street needed a rest after the great stock markets of the past few weeks. Won't Bedeem Themselves. An attempt was made to resurrect Fo gle's mining bill In the house yesterday by calling up Marks' motion to reconsider the vote by which it was killed, but the motion was promptly tabled on motion of Mr. Harris of Lyon. Jill IT S not having left him, he was advised to try Paine's celery compound. He was soon back in his office at the depart ment of public works, a well man, and forthwith wrote a letter to the pro prietors of the remedy, in which ha says: "I had been told by friends of the wonderful results obtained by them from the use of Paine's celery com pound. After my severe attack of the grip I determined to try it. I have al ready found that my friends reports were not at all exaggerated, and I wish to join most cheerfully with them in recommending the remedy to others." Hundreds of grateful letters have been written to the proprietors of Paine's celery compound since the ap pearance of the grip this year, telling of the perfect recoveries it has effected. The letters come from men and women of many conditions. Few persons are so poor they can not afford to have this great remedy constantly in the house, and none are so prosperous that for their health's sake they can afford to be without It. When so many men and women whose words carry the utmost weight in the communities in which they live testify as they do to the great benefit they have received from Paine's celery compound, there can be no hesi tancy in trying it. A single trial is the test which is confidently invited. PAPER FROM CUBA. John Over Sends Topeka Friends th Santiago Herald.

HARD TOUNEARTH The Poison Mystery Seems as Much a Mystery As It Erer Was In Spite of the Rigid CROSS EXAMINATION Of Harry Cornish by the Sis trict Attorney. Roland P. Molineux, Suspected Poisoner, Is Present. New Tork, Feb. 11. The two men whose names have been most Intimate ly connected with the death of Mrs. Kate J. Adams were placed on the wit ness stand before Coroner Hart and Jury and were put through a rigid cross-examination by Assistant District Attorney Osborne, who Is conducting the case. Harry S. Cornish, who gave the poison to Mrs. Adams was the first witness called this morning and at the afternoon R. B. Molineux, who had been named by Cornish on the stand a.3 the man he believed to have sent the poisoned bromo seltzer through the mails, was called. Cornish was again today somewhat reticent and equivocal in his answers to questions put to hira by the assistant district attorney and In one Instance at least occasioned a good deal of surprise. In an interview with a number of news paper representatives previous to the commencement of the examination of Cornish, when asked if he knew Mrs. Molineux and if she could have any connection with the case, said that he wish the assistant district attorney would ask him that question on the stand. "A man Is supposed to perjure himself for a woman," said Cornish, "but I am here to tell the truth if I am asked such a question." This seemed a significant statement et the time, and Assistant District At torney Osborne put those very ques tions to him to which Cornish made the following answer: "I never saw Mrs. Molineux to know iier and never saw her when she was Blanche Chesebrough." He made the statement that he had suspected Molineux of having prepared the poison because a chemist, a friend of his, had suggested on account of a sediment having been left in the glass from which Mrs. Adams drank that the bromo seltzer preparation had been put up by a half chemist, a man who had some knowledge of chemistry, but not a complete knowledge and that as Mo lineux knew something of chemistry.his name naturally suggested itself. This was the reason, Cornish said, and the fact that he had had a quarrel with Molineux, was another reason. Cornish gave away on the stand tem porarily to Molineux. Mr. Osborne ask ed the witness abruptly if he was inno cent of the poisoning of Mrs. Adams. Molineux replied: "I am absolutely innocent." Molineux told of his connection with the Knickerbocker and New York Ath-1-tic clubs, and said that he had left the former club largely because of his quarrel with Cornish. He was asked if he had known Henry C. Barnet and re plied that he was a warm personal friend of that man, a friendship that had lasted several years. He could sug gest no motive why anyone should send poison to Barnet. Molineux then described the rooms at the Knickerbocker Athletic club on the second floor occupied by himself.

Austin Johnston is s graduate of one of the finest Medical Universities in the world, and has had great experience in hospital and private practice. Dr. Edward Walsh, formerly Chicago's leading specialist, is a graduate of Bush and Bennett Medical Colleges, and was formerly President of St. Anthony's Hospital. the yachting trip on A. J. Morgan's yacht Viator, which was recently intro duced into the case, came up for consid tration. Molineux said that he had been on several cruises on this yacht, but that Barnet had never been with him. He met Miss Chesebrough on one of these trips, being introduced to her by her married sister. At this interesting point the hearing was adjourned until Tuesday morning nex t. a The first question that Assistant Dis trict Attorney Osborne asked Cornish today was somewhat abrupt: "Will you tell me." he said, "all your reasons for supposing Molineux com mitted this crime?" Cornish answered as he did yesterday, that the idea came to him when he ex amined the handwriting on the package containing the bremo seltzer bottle and the poison. "You don't believe now that Molineux wrote that address?" queried Mr. Os borne. "No, I don't," replied Cornish shortly. Cornish also denied that he thought Felix Gallagher wrote the address. Cornish said that he had learned from the police that who ever prepared the bromo seltzer bottle must have been a chemist. Besides Molineux there were in the Knickerbocker club two chemists Jokum and Tuttle. "Jokum." said Cornish, "told me that it was evident that the poison com pounder was only half a chemist." The question, "how did Jokum see the poison," brought out the fact that Jokum was quite intimate with the Adams family and had examined the poison before the police took it away. "Now, look here, Cornish," said the assistant district attorney, "you came to my office this morning and told me that I was not treating you fairly. I told you then, and I tell you now that I do not suspect you of the crime anil I wish to give yeu every chance to tell all you know. Are you being perfectly candid?" "I am tailing you all I know," said Cornish. Mr. Osborne asked Cornish If he had any opinion as to who wrote the ad dress on the poison package. Cornish said he had not. "Didn't you tell Colonel Gardner that you thought Felix Gallagher wrote that address?" asked Osborne. "I told him the experts said the let ters were written by the man who ad dressed the poison package, and I felt sure Gallagher had written the let ters." "And you think he wrote the address on the package?" "No, I think there Is a resemblance in the writing. I can not say who wrote that address. The experts said the hand writing was the same." Cornish produced what purported to be a fac simile of the address on the poison package, which he compared for the benefit of the Jury with a letter written by Gallagher. In answer to a question from Coroner Hart as to whether he had any diffi culty with Mrs. Molineux, Cornish said: "I never saw Mrs. Molineux before or since her marriage. I would not know her if she stood before me." An effort apparently to throw doubt upon thi9 statement of the witness was made when two reporters were asked to stand up and Osborne asked Cornish if he had not said to them previous to the inquest that he had wished to be questioned regarding his relations with Mrs. Molineux. Cornish denied this and said that after searching for a man with a common motive against him and against Barnet his mind closed upon the name of Molin eux when it was suggested. Roland P. Molineux sat in the court room by the side of his father. General Molineux. He had strolled in late, smoking a cigar and showing every evi dence of complacency. TALCED AT $S,000,000.

It Prores a Paying Inrestment For Minnesota. The report of the legislative commit tee which visited the Stillwater, Minn., penitentiary to investigate the manu facture or binding twine, made an in teresting report to the house and sen ate. The members of the committee are: Senators Hessin and Householder; Representatives John Seaton, Josiah Crosby and Hogue of Anderson. The committee recommends that a twine plant be established at the Kan sas penitentiary, as told in the Journal yesterday. Concerning observations at Stillwater the report of the committee says: The plant is located In a three-story building 180 feet in length and 70 feet in width. The two lower floors and half of the third floor are occupied by ma chinery. The preparing machinery, which con sists of the heavier part required In the manufacture of twine, is located on the ground floor. The second floor and half of the third floor is occupied by the spinning machine, bailers and finishing machine. In addition to the above named build ings there is used for the storage of raw material and the manufactured product storage houses having the following' capacity: The first and largest is 100x150 feet, the second 160x100 feet, all one story buildings of about 20 feet in height. In a mill with a capacity of 10,000 pounds per diem the storage capacity required will be given in a building 100x200 feet. The finishing machinery consists of four breakers four spinners six draw ing frames and five finishers. In the spinning room there are 208 spinners and in addition thereto there are 18 double spindle bailing machines, one rope machine and one ball shaper. One hundred and forty prisoners are used in the operation of this plant, the work being supervised by one superin tendent and three assistant superin tendents. In the operation of said plant there is used of the raw material each day of ten hours, of pure manilla, 18,000 pounds of 650 foot twine to the pound or of sisal 24,000 pounds of 500 foot twine to the pound. This material is obtained from the Philippine islands and Yuca tan. It is purchased by the prison au thorities from importers and brokers In New York and Boston in the open market. In the manufacture of twine a large quantity of cheap oil is required. We find from the superintendent that there Is no waste of raw material in the man ufacture of twine, on the contrary there is an increase In the weight of the finished product of from 9 to 12 per cent by reason of the oil used. The power used at Stillwater for their plant Is 250 horse power. We find that the cost of machinery for a plant of the size above mentioned will cost, including belting and pulleys, the sum of $45,000. This does not include line shafting. We find that for the selling of the manufactured product of twine, sacks are used which can be bought in car load lots at 6 cents apiece, the weight of which Is included in the sale of twine. From the refuse is manufac tured a rope used In balling. We find that this plant has proved a success from the beginning, not only in enabling the state to provide twine for the farmers at a greatly reduced cost, but at the same time it has been a direct benefit to the tax payers of the state in that it has enabled the institu tion to become more than self-sustaining. The minimum amount of profit from the manufacture of twine at the penitentiary at Stillwater has been $10. 000 per annum. The maximum amount of $87,000 for the year 1893. The profits for 1897 were $43,000. Over and above this net yearly profit there has been covered into the state treasury for the care and maintenance of the institution 50 cents per day for each prisoner employed in the manufac ture of twine. In ascertaining the net profit realized Thoroughly healthy girl hood means happy wife hood and ca pable motherhood. A new fancied prudery prevents many girls from learning things that tiiey ought to know before they assume the duties of mat rimony and maternity. Athletics alone will not make a young woman thor oughly healthy. The wise counsels of a good mother or some older wosoan are indispensable. The best aad noblest mis sion of a woman is to bear sad rear healthy, intelligent children. In order to do this, she must- be healthy and strong in a womasly way. Both the intel lectual and physical future of her children depend largely upon the mother. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best f all medicines for maids, wives and moth ers. It is intended to He but one thing and does that one thing thoroughly. It acts directly on the delicate and important or gans concerned in wifehood and mother hood and makes them strong, healthy, virile, vigorous and elastic. Taken dur ing the time of preparation, it banishes tke trials and dangers of maternity. It insures the well being of the mother and the robust health of the child. It is the greatest of nerve tonics and nerve builders. Thou sands of women have told the story ef its marvelous accomplishments.

Address Sr. K. V. fierce, Saaalo, X. V. jt from the manufacture of binding twine, there was charged off each year since the hard fibre plant has been in opera tion, fuel, light, foreman and expert help, repairs and insurance as well as the per diem earnings of prisoners amounting to 50 cents per day as above stated. One of the principal items of expense In any manufacturing industry is that of fuel. At Stillwater the fuel is slabs or refuse from the saw milL This is fur nished at a cost of $1.39 per cord two cords probably equal one ton of coal. This item therefore at the Kansas peni tentiary may be reduced to a min imum because of the use of slack, which is produced in large quantities at the mine and little used except at the pen itentiary. "We find that the product of this plant for the year 1898 was 5,000,000 pounds, and that with the additional machinery purchased the capacity is now 6,000,000 pounds. There is now pending before the legislature an appropriation bill providing for increased machinery, so that when completed the capacity will be increased to 9,000,000 pounds. The consumption for the state of Min nesota for 1898 was 17,000,000 pounds. In the operation of said plant there was provided by the legislature a fund of $150,000. called a revolving fund, which was used exclusively for the purchasing of raw material and for carrying the manufactured product until sold. By the judicious use of this fund It has In creased from the original sum of $150,000 to over $300,000, exclusive of $20,000 ex pended for additional machinery. In our conference with the warden he said; "When we first commenced man ufacturing twine we attempted to dis- j pose of it direct to the consumer. We soon discovered, however, that if the twine plant was to be kept upon a busi ness basis and its growth assured, it was necessary to adopt some other method. We have since disposed a large part of each year's product through the local dealers to the farmers. This has given excellent satisfaction every year up to the past season. Not a single complaint was made prior to the year 1898. Some friction was caused last season by reason of the sudden rise in the price of fibre and twine occasioned by the war in the Philippine islands. In consequence of the sudden rise in price every farmer in the state of Min- i nesota concluded that he would send to the prison and procure his twine; and in a single day 1,200 orders for twine accompanied by the cash were received at the prison, aggregating 500,000 pounds, which at the time the prison authorities were unable to fill. The dis tribution of the product to local dealers for sale to the farmers is in my opinion the business-like way of making distri butions of the twine, for three reasons: First, because under proper arrange ment with" the local dealer the farmer can obtain his twine at a more reason able price than if he went to the prison and bought it in small quantities; sec ond, there is a saving of freight; third, in the added difference in his favor of not being obliged to pay cash and being able to secure credit from his local dealer until after harvest. In making distribution of the product the prison authorities have sold upon credit and have given time until the first day of November without interest on approved paoer to local dealers or in carload lots to the farmers." Your committee desires to direct the attention of the legislature to the fact that much better discipline can be en forced among prisoners working in a factory of this kind than In a coal mine. Your committee is advised that in the work of mining coal, as it is at present carried on at the penitentiary. It is impossible to prevent communica tion between the men so employed. A serious responsibility always attaches to any plan of prison management which affords opportunity for communi cation between prisoners. The adage that "Evil communications corrupt good manners" finds ample exemplifi cation in the depressing influence which an association with habitual and in corrigible criminals has upon those who are criminals by Impulse or accident and whose natural aspirations tend to reformation. If the reformation of the prisoner be the objective aim and end of prison- discipline, rather than his punishment, and his early return to the duties and obligations of honest indus try, a humane and economical result to be desired, the atmosphere of hiB prison life must yield the wholesome encour agement and protection which are es sential to the moral uplift, without which he will fail. For these reasons In choice of industries-- for prison life, the preference should lie with those which conserve in largest measure the moral and physical welfare of the prisoner. The experience at the penitentiary at Stillwater has shown that the work of manufacturing binding twine is liked, clean and pleasant work and in no way dangerous to health. That it admits of a high order of discipline.That it makes I the management of prisoners occupied in tne maustry easy or control, tne at tention of prisoners being wholly occu pied with the operation of the ma- chines, in order to keep them In proper running order, their minds not easily distracted from their work to the detri ment of discipline and good order, so necessary to obtain good results In the reformation of criminals. Your committee, after having made careful examination of the plant at Stillwater, Minn., deemed it advisable to visit the Kansas penitentiary for the purpose of ascertaining whether, in the event your committee should deem it advisable to recommend the location of such an industry at the Kansas state penitentiary, there would be sufficient room to accommodate it. Your commit tee, accordingly, with the warden and his assistants, made such examination, and from it we find that there is abund ant room for the instillation of such a plant, with every facility for ware housing, both raw material, and the manufactured product, economically, but your committee finds that at pres ent there is Insufficient power to operate the now existing business of the peni tentiary, and the proposed addition. Your committee, therefore, recom mends that inasmuch as the present power is old and very much worn, and likely, as the engineer advises us, to give out at any moment, that provision be made for the purchase of a new 300 horse power to accommodate the same. We further found, upon inquiry and Investigation that there is competent and abundant prison labor for the suc cessful operation of a binding twine plant, such as we have herein recom mended, MAKES TJS ALL CRIMINALS, Judge Babb Says That is What the Legislature is Doing. The house in committee of the whole has turned down Mr. Brooke's bill to prohibit officers from acknowledging deeds in blank. The bill made the per son who signed the blank deed guilty of a misdemeanor, and this is what de feated the bilL "Suppose," said Mr. Geissler, "some land shark goes around to a poor widow and tells her he has a chance to sell some vacant lots which she owns, and she signs a blank deed with the under standing that the agent will fill in the description of the land. But instead of the agent filling it in with the descrip tion of the vacant lot, he makes it apply to the little homestead of the widow. IX this bill passes you would send her C5" bia nistioa.

Judge Babb, of Wichita, said: "If we are going to keep on making this kind of laws, we will soon make criminals out of the entire population of the state of Kansas. We are making felonies and misdemeanors of nearly everything. If we intend to keep this sort of thing up, we had better put a fence around a state and have a guardian appointed for ourselves." This, with a few remarks along the same line by Mr. Seaver of Ellsworth, finished the bill. ALL TOTE FOB POCKET KNIVES Members of the Legislature Not Op posed to the Usual Perquisites. It has been the custom of all previous legislatures for the serseant-at-arraa to furnish all members with pocketknives as part of the stock of supplies. All state purchases of that character are made through the secretary of state, and Sec retary of State Clark has stopped the supply of knives for the members ef the house. When Mr. Marks found this out he In troduced the following resolution: "Whereas, The secretary of state has seen fit to usurp the authority vested in the sergeant-at-arms. as perquislteF be longing to him, in the matter of buying and furnishing this house with knives of the standard'I. X. L." brand; and. "Whereas. Said secretary of state has failed to make this distribution general among the members of the house; there fore, be it "Resolved. That the sergeant-at-arms be and is hereby restored to the enjoyment of the requisites and perquisites of his of fice, and he is instructed to furnish all neglected members with said 'I. X. L.' brand knives, carrying out the time hon ored principle of 'equal privileges to all, and special privileges to none." Mr. Scott of Elk moved to lay the reso lution on the table, but it failed of carry ing, and the resolution was adopted, the Populists voting solidly for pocketknivsa. OLD J. P.S' TO GO. Ons of the Crying Evils of the Tims to Be Abolished in Topeka. The senate this afternoon In commit tee of the whole recommended for pas sage Senator Tom Anderson's bill creat ing a new city court in Topeka and limiting the jurisdiction of Justice courts to civil recovery suits involving no more than $1. This bill places the Judge to be ap pointed by the governor on a salary of $1,800 a year; a clerk at $750; a marshal at $750 a year; a deputy at $600. This bill practically abolishes the jus tices' courts and with it the fee system now so objectionable. TOO COLD FOB THESE. Gspb Seatos Bays the Thermometer Was Too Low in Minnesota to Save a Oood Tiane. The special committee which was sent from the legislature to Stillwater, Minn., to investigate the binding twine plant there, claims that it did not have a "warm" time while away. In speaking of the trip Captain Seaton, chairman of the committee, said: "When we got to Stillwater the ther mometer stood at 35 degrees below zero.

Jennings, "and we must have a warm wave from the Pa cific or from the gulf before we will feel the benefit of a change. The wind is In the northwest and making 20 miles an hour. For over six hours the tem perature has stood steady at 18 de grees below zero. "The reason for thet different degrees of cold shown by thermometers is that most thermometers are not accurate. There was so much wind last night and this morning that accurate thermome ters should register very closely to gether. If there is no wind the ther mometers in low places would show much colder than ones higher up. Last night and this morning the wind was so brisk that it kept the air mixed and all accurate thermometers should show a temperature about the same. "It takes about two years for glass to 'set,' that is the technical term and refers to the expansion or contraction of the glass. Common thermometers are blown, graduated and put upon the market right away instead of being kept two years to set. The tubes can not be blown even and the bore is not even as If It were drilled and equal ex posures will not represent equal vol umes of mercury. All thermometers used by the government are kept for two years before they are graduated and are then compared with, air ther mometers for variations." PLUMBERS OVERWHELMED. So Many Burst Pipes Most Repairers Are Away Behind. If there is one class of people more affected by the severe cold weather than the coal dealers it is the plumbers. Frank Edson of Prescott Co., says that the entire force of men at his place of business has been working almost night and day for over a week. He said: "More or less damage has been done by the continued cold to the plumbing in residences and a large number of pipes have frozen but no serious damage has been reported at any place." C. States says that the orders for plumbers came in so fast that he was compelled to refuse to take any more and his force has been doing what could be done to repair the damage done. Another firm was 45 orders behind last evening and more were coming in. FROZEN EARS. People Who Forgot to Be Careful With Stercury Down to 20 Below. There are numberless ears In Topeka today that resemble raw beefsteak. They Belong to people who walked down town this morning or whose busi ness compelled them to be on the streets during the forenoon. William Thompson of the firm of Thompson Brothers, froze his left ear walking from his home to his place of business. Stenographer Ralph Gaw of the dis trict court had both his ears frost bit ten going from Kansas avenue t the court house. Nels McConnell, dog tax collector, is nursing a badly frozen ear and Coun cilman Fred Roundtree is in the same condition. SPECIAL BULLETIN Of the Weather BureauLittle Hope for Milder Weather Tomorrow. Washington. Feb. 11. The weather lias moderated generally east of the Mississippi river except in New York, New England, east Virginia, southern Maryland and the District of Columbia, A notable feature of the Atlantic coast temperature of the last three days has been the remarkably low reading at Washington, where the minimum has been 7 degrees below, 8 degrees below and 15 degrees below zero, the last reading being the lowest ever recorded Ty the Washington weather bureau of fice. Equally noteworthy was the low temperature which continued during the 10th when the maximum was but 4 de grees above zero, giving the lowest daily mean temperature two degrees below zero on record Tor Washington. A second cold wave with a remarkably Siigh barometric pressure overspread the already extremely cold west and northwest states Friday night, carrying the temperature to 40 degrees below rero at Williston, N. E., to 16 degrees below at Denver, 26 below at Omaha and 16 to 22 below In Kansas. During the night and Sunday a rise in temperature of 20 degrees or more will occur In the middle Atlantic and New England districts attended by in creasing cloudiness and probably snow. The western cold wave will extend over the Mississippi valley and the west Gulf states, carrying the line of zero temperature into Texas, Arkansas and western Tennessee and giving freezing temperature to the immediate west Gulf coast. Following the temporary rise In tem perature which will occur over the At lantic coast districts during the next 36 hours a period of colder weather may be expected which will continue until the middle of next week. In the central valleys and lake regions the tempera ture Sunday promises to equal the rec ord for the season. H. E. WILLIAMS, Acting Chief U. S. Weather Bureau. SUDDEN CHANGE AT K. C. Mercury Did Not Begin to Go Down Until 2 AM. Kansas City Feb. 11. The weather moderation In this section was checked suddenly at 2 o'clock this morning. At that hour when six degrees above zero was recorded, the mercury reversed quickly and at 7 o'clock It was 15 below. The lacal weather bureau predicts 22 or 28 degree weather tonight. The official reoerd for Kansas City was made on Thursday, when it .was 20 below. In Kansas the thermometer ranges from 14 to 22 below. At Lawrence Chancel lor Snow of the Kansas university, re ports 19 below last night, the coldest since January 1, 1S87. At Dodge City it is 14 below. At Ok lahoma City, O. T., zero weather pre vails. About three inches of snow fell in the southwest yesterday and last night and delay to trains is general. A 0erce north wind is blowing. MR. MORRIS' ADVENTURES With the Cold Weather Have Been of a Chilling Nature Mrs. W. H. Morris, wife of the ex state auditor is visiting in southern Kansas and Mr. Morris has been en deavoring to keep the household af fairs in order during her absence, but like most men has had a sad experi ence. One night this week when the mer cury was dangerously near the bottom of the tube Captain Morris decided to retire early in the evening but was very anxious to have the bed warmed up. He secured a large rubber bag and af ter some difficulty, heated water and filled it. This was then placed in the bed and the captain sat by the fire un til the bed was thoroughly warmed up. He then retired and soon passed into dreamland. But the sadest experience of the cold season was yet' to come. About mid night Mr. Morris grew cold and was awakened thereby to find that the late hot water had frozen solid and the bag was like an iceberg. It found a place In the middle of the floor for the re mainder of the night but has Bince been stored in the attic. AWFUL LOSS OF STOCK. Thirty Per Cent Killed in Five West ern States. Fort Worth, Tex., Feb. 11. General Live Stock Agent Pennington of the Santa Fe system today gave out a statement of the probable loss of the stock interest in the various states ow ing to the prevailing blizzard. Conserv ative estimates place the losses at SO per cent in the Panhandle, Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas. The losses in northwest Texas may reach 60 per cent. CONGRESS TO BREAK THE ICE In the Potomac or the President' Back Yard May Be Flooded. Washington, Feb. 11. Washington was one of the cold king's centers yes terday and after a day in which the thermometer averaged below zero all day, the record for this city, which had not been 14 below since 1881 was broken this morning, the mercury going to 15 below zero. After daylight it grew warmer and during the day reached 2 degrees above, with the prospect for a little added warmth. The Potomac is frozen from bank to bank and a special appropriation will be asked from congress to break the ice as otherwise a jam that will flood the lower parts of the city is feared. NO MICHIGAN PEACHES. Forty Degrees Below Zero and They Are Destroyed for This Year. Detroit, Feb. 11 Reports from various fruit raising sections of the state are to the effect that the extreme record breaking cold spell has been most dis astrous to the year's crop of peaches and other fruits. The loss resulting from permanent injury to peach trees can not be estimated. In the peach growing districts of western Michigan the temperature early today ranged from 25 to 40 below zero. CHICAGO'S TIME TO COME. Cold Wave Going Eastward Hasn't Struck There Yet Chicago, Feb. 11. This city Is enjoy ing temporary relief today from the in tense cold of the last few days. As soon as the sun came out the mercury crawled up around the zero mark. An other cold snap is predicted for tonight with the temperature ranging from 15 to 18 below zero. Darkest Day for Years in Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Feb. 11. Ten degrees below zero was the weather bureau record to day. This was 10 degrees above yes terday's lowest figures but the govern ment officials held out very little hope of further relief for the present, as northwestern reports indicated colder weather. An almost Impenetrable fog hangs over the city and many accidents by collision have occurred. It is the darkest day in many years. The smallest things may exert the greatest influence.

Alford, of the Twentieth Kansas, killed in the first battle at Manila. ELMER E. URIK WOUNDED. A Topeka Boy Whose Mother Lives in Auburndale, Among the Hurt. Another Topeka man has been wound ed at Manila. His name is Elmer E. Urie and his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Urie, lives In Auburndale. The name, appears in the list of wounded as El mer E. Unie but there is no doubt that it was intended for TJrie. He was a member of company B and a painter by trade. He is 28 years old. The name of Alonzo Ricketts who was killed in the fight does not appear on the rolls of company I to which it Is credited. Cyrus W. Ricketts was en listed as a corporal In company I. He was a teacher and single. His father, S. T. Ricketts lives at Stanton, Kan. It is supposed that it was he who was killed. James S. Mills, who Is in the list of wounded enlisted at Waverly and was single. He is a laborer and his father, J. H. Mills lives at Lost Springs, Kan. William C. Barber was sergeant in company B. He enlisted at Garnett and is single. The records do not show that he has any relatives. He was a clerk and 25 years old. The name Bert Sanson of company K which appears in the list of wounded is not In the muster rolls. It is suppos ed that it was intended for Allen B. Simmons of Ottawa, who is 24 years old and unmarried. Sidney Morrison of company M en listed at Salina where he was a school teacher. He is 21 years old and his father is J. T. Morrison of Great Bend. The names Edward D. Willing. Harry S. Harris, David M. Horkman, John O. Morseburg and I. J. Howard do not ap pear in the muster rolls of the regi ment.

The Topeka society young ladles, who have recently acquired the habit of "shooting craps," will probably feel more at ease when they know that Miss Odette Tyler, the young lady who re fused the hand of Millionaire Gould, is given to the same habit. Miss Tyler admitted it in her dress ing room on the stage of the Grand Opera House last night. The admission was made with a rather sorrowful ring to her voice. "They taught me how to play 'craps' and then won ten dollars from me," she said, as she shook her head and looked at the floor. "They" consisted of Mr. MacLean, Miss Tyler's husband, and Mr. Hanford, the other member of the star alliance. According to her statement the two bold, bad men inveigled her Into the game by imparting to her sufficient knowledge to give some confidence to herself, and then proceeded to "fleece" her. "I thought it was great sport rolling the little cubes," said she last night, "and of course supposed I could roll them just as good as any of the rest. But, somehow or other, I wasn't well enough acquainted with 'Phoebe' or some of those other mystic goddesses that preside over that form of amuse ment, and in less than no time ten of my hard earned dollars were gone. And to think that my little pet dog will have to go without a new blanket for sevsfeal weeks just because I lost that money." Miss Tyler has a charming personal ity. She says it was through her ef forts that Mr. MacLean again took up the stage, but she says that if one night stands and cold weather continue she will soon be ready to seek private life.

Half fro zen men stumbled Into the basement of the court house and presented orders for B0 cents worth of provisions from the superintendent of the stone yard and went away with their arms full of provisions and an order for a half ton of coal in their pocket. No cases of extreme suffering were reported to the poor commissioner to day though several families were re ported to be in destitute circumstances. HARVEY IS FA YOKED.

LOW. Thomas County Finances Are in Splendid Condition. Colby, Feb. 11. Thomas county in 1888 voted $60,000 bonds to secure the build ing of the Rock Island railroad. So ably has the county managed its finances and taxations, that already has a. large part of this debt been paid, and the debt funded at lower rates of in terest. Upon the proposed bonding of the county, there Was great opposition, which was only overcome through the efforts of M. A. Low, general attorney, who made a personal visit to Colby, where he met many of the farmers and citizens, and explained the benefits to result from building the railroad through the county, and fully met and discussed all objections raised. Air. Low's quiet and persuasive man ner and his open and straightforward talk, so changed sentiment in the coun ty, that at the bond election following, the bonds carried by an overwhelming majority. Thomas county has found Mr. Low's representations and predictions as to handling this great debt, and the vast benefits to follow upon the completion of a trunk line railway through its borders to be true, and the county has not only been able to handle its debt by Judicious management, but has prospered even more than Its sister counties, being largely assisted by the help derived from taxes paid by the company. From Thomas county and northwest Kansas generally, Mr. Low can expect assistance at any time and in any way, as this part of the state has ever bad in its need his friendship and help.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1899 I I o o o o w o s o 8 8 The Kimball Piano IN FOREIGN LANDS. I fHE Chicago Inter Ocean recently referred to the achieve ments of the W. W. Kimball Co. in the following very flattering terms: Perhaps it is not generally appreciated that the W. W. Kimball Co. placed the two magnificent Pipe Organs in the Fine Arts Building, and that they are shipping their American Pianos to the centers of art and culture abroad. Adelina Patti re cently had two Kimball Pianos sent to her castle in Wales. Two were shipped to Mme. Eames-Story, one to her home in Paris, and one to her much-talked-of castle in Vailombrosa, in Italy. The Kimball people are in possession of a very charming letter from Mme. Eames, stating that her piano in Paris was not a tone out of order when received. Nordica, too, has been sending pianos of the Kimball make to other countries, and the de Reszkes expressed their approbation in a personal inter view with Mr. Kimball after having received one of the instruments at their estate in Poland, where it arrived absolutely in tune. That Kimball Pianos are in demand in Paris and other centers of civilization, is certainly a noteworthy consideration. T. P. CULLEY, Manager.

Blanche Walsh, the young lady who aspires to succeed Fanny Davenport on the American stage, acted as elevator "boy" at the Throop hotel last night; the real elevator boy seemed to be much of the time somewhere else. When she reached the elevator shaft on her way to the dining room, after a conversation in the parlor, about 6 o'clock, she found the car but no boy. Stepping inside she busied herself for a few moments arranging her hair, while viewing her reflection in the ele vator mirror. The boy continued to remain absent. "Well, I don't Intend to wait here for ever." said she, rather petulantly, after having satisfactorily disposed of two or three stray locks. "I'm awfully hun gry. Guess I'll run the elevator down myself," and suiting the action to the word she laid hands on the elevator then the signal bell in the car rang. She glanced at the register and saw that the ring came from the top floor. "Maybe that's some poor mortal as hungry as I am," she said. "Might as well be a good fellow; so here goes for the top floor." Miss Walsh gave the rope a pull in the right direction "Trx rar sommrrai Its gradual Journey upward. At the top noor sne stopped it and opened the door for an elderly gentleman with gray mutton chop whiskers and a nervous air. With the man Inside Miss Walsh started the car downward. The old gentleman looked at the fair elevator "boy" with eyes open In astonishment. Unmindful of his gaze, the interpreter of the Sardou drama gave all her at tention to the descent of the car, and gripped tight on the rope with her slen der hands when it reached the first floor. "There." she said, as she opened the door for the elderly gentleman and fol lowed him out of the car, "if I ever have to give up the stage I can earn my liv ing running an elevator." BEAUTIES RIOT. Rejected Candidates Beat the Judges With Boards, Beer Signs, Etc. New Tork Feb. II. The following ad vertisement appeared in some of the papers this morning and produced more trouble for a few men than they ever faced before: WANTED FIFTY WHITE ANDFIF- ty colored ladies for a patriotic spec tacular march. "Columbia and Her New Possessions," Saturday night. Apply at Sulzer's. One Hundred and Twenty fifth street and Second avenue, today at 10 a. m. sharp. When about 200 women of various na tionalities had assembled In answer to the advertisement the office was thrown open and all made a rush for It. Inside were John Waters.Gus Nussbaum.Chas. Morris, John Bried, William Grau and Gordon Monroe, who were the commit tee on selection. While the selection was going on many of the women lit cigarettes and smoked. Some of the women rejected told the managers in forcible language they did not know anything about a beautiful woman, and most of them re fused to budge after being refused. When the six men had selected a hundred women they told the rest to go, and then followed a riot. The disap pointed women called the men all sorts of names and began beating them with first, pieces of wood. beer signs and other articles they found in the office. Gordon Monroe, with his hat smash ed over his ears, his clothing torn and bloody, managed to escape and call the police. To the police the women said all they wanted was their car fare home again. They called the policemen "sweet things" and "darlings." but the officers put them out and after a time scattered them on their different ways home. Second Blizzard in Kontana. Butte. Mont.. Feb. 11.

ARE NOTJMMUNE Soldiers Enlisted in the South Serrin? in Cuba Contract Disease More Raadilj Than Others. COLONEL RAT'S PLAN Is to Becruit From Disbanded Cubans. Many Reasons Adraneed In Fa Tor of Doing So. Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 11. The de partment is giving serious attention to the state of health of the Third im munes as well as to the depletion of the regiment by sickness and the enormous number of discharges that have been granted and the probability is that they will be transferred before long. Colonel Ray has a scheme for reor ganizing the regiment which he believes could be made to work successfully. It Is that four companies of Cubans could be enlisted many of whom have been Insurgents during the insurrection would be only too glad to enlist under the stars and stripes. He would not at first have any Cu ban commanding officers, but would ap point to those companies officers of his regiment who have made some pro gress in the Spanish language. For each company he would have one Interpreter but he believes that the men would very soon learn English, for all military orders would be given to them in that language. He believes that Cu bans all over the province would wil lingly Join companies thus organized in the different immune regiments and that the members of these companies would in reality be immune which it has been conclusively proved that the others were not. COLDER THE BETTER. Indeed those enlisted from the gulf states have succumbed to levers and malaria much quicker than those who have come from colder cllrnes, proving that the colder climate a man comes from the better health he has enjoyed in Cuba. Col. Ray himself is an in stance of this, for he has lived for many years where the winters were very cold. He has been in the Klon dike and similar places and since his arrival in Cuba he has not suffered from a single day's sickness. CoL Ray believes that the term of en listment for these Cubans should not be less than -two years and that they should be enlisted simply for service in Cuba and as the troops that he brought down with him from the states are gradually discharged he would be in favor of making fresh companies of Cuban troops, officered as before by Americans, the highest rank to which a Cuban would be eligible in his plan would be that of sergeant. He also be lieves that in six months, it would be possible to have his regiment almost entirely of Cubans and he would make it compulsory for officers to pass -a cer tain standard in Spanish within that time, which if they were unable to do, he would ask for their resignation, pro moting in their pieces good men who have served in the ranks and who would be given opportunities of passing the linquistic test, not that he believes in making the examination a hard one but merely sufficient Spanish for them to converse on ordinary subjects. partic ularly relating to military affairs with their non-commissioned officers. He would also make promotions to non commissioned officers from among the Cubans themselves linguistic the men having to pass a course of English. THE BRITISH PLAN. These Cuban troops officered by Americans he believes to be the best form of governing Cuba during the mil itary occupation, for the men would very soon get to know that their offi cers were doing the best for them that it was possible to do, for their health and comfort would be looked after In ways that were never done before and also that the people themselves would become more content as the soldiers though wearing the American uniform, would be their own race. In fact Col. Ray's idea is very much on the line of the Indian regiments which have been found so successful under British rule in India. Colonel Ray believes that In the next few months at least half of the army of occupation should be immune regiments enlisted in this fashion. This would save a lot of transportation, would use entirely in Cuba the money earned by the men and be a boon both to the l"nited States and to the island of Cuba. The second immune stationed at Jl bara and Holguin are enjoying compar atively good health and are doing work that has been very satisfactory to the department but they are no more im mune than any other of the Immune regiments, and it is doubtful if they could stand a summer without great loss of life, and though Col. Hood has not been heard from on the subject, it is probable that he would welcome the addition of a few companies enlisted in the manner rropoed by CoL Ray. NOT HEALTHY. The Fifth immune now in Santiago have not proved a very healthy body of men and they have also suffered from the climate; for their sick list i3 large, even at this time of the year and Col. Sargent is believed to be in favor of trying the plan proposed. The Fourth immunes stationed at Manzanillo have enjoyed good health and it is not thought that CoL Petit would desire to try this innovation.

HALF THE SESSION SPENT In Introducing Foolish. Bills, and the Other Half in Killing Them. The house ways and means commit tee has turned down the bill authoriz ing the attorney general to prosecute a suit in the United States supreme court to move the eastern boundary of Kansas a few blocks east of where It now Is, so that Kansas will take in part of Kansas City, Mo. It has also turned down the bill making an appro priation for the erection of a monument to the memory of Kansas soldiers who died in the Spanish war, in the state house grounds. The committee has recommended for passage the bill making an appropria tion for the Mother Blckerdyke home at Ellsworth. SENATE BILLS EECOMMENDED. The senate. In committee of the whole Friday afternoon, recommended for passage twenty-seven local bills, and then adjourned until Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The bills recommended were as follows: By Morrow Authorizing the commis sioners of 'Washington county to erect a jail. By Stone Fixing the terms of court in the Thirty-sixth judicial district. By Battey Authorizing the city of Marlon to levy a tax for the support of the city schools. By Anderson To authorize district Mo. 83 Shawnee county to levy a tax to pay the high school tuition of pupils therein. By Caldwell Authorizing the com missioners of Anderson county to sell lands. By Caldwell Authorizing La Cygne to maintain a park. By Ward Declaring a bridge across the Republican river in Cloud county a county bridge. By Hessin Making bridges across the Blue and Kansas rivers in Kiley coun ty, county bridges. By Campbell To permit certain per sons in Labette county to take out cer tificates as registered pharmacists. By Battey To authorize Marlon A new "La. Tosca" appeared in To peka last night. A young woman but five years out of her teens, of slender, graceful form and expressive face, as sumed the role made famous by Fanny Davenport and by Bernhardt before her. If nothing else. Blanche Walsh's ambition to follow in the footsteps of Bernhardt and Davenport, whether it amounts to simply an attempt or some thing more than an attempt, is entitled to praise. Probablv no one who saw Miss Walsh at the Crawford theater last night will say that she does not possess ability. Whether this ability will amount to genius is a tiuestion. If it does not. Sardou's characters in her hands will always remain unfinished. So far. it has not amounted to that. In the fact that Miss Walsh Is yet in her appren ticeship is a reasonable explanation of her portrayal of "La Tosca." She is not a second Fanny Davenport, inas much as she does not draw her audi ence to her and hold it at her will. There is something about Miss Walsh's portrayal which shows her ap prenticeship. She Is not always unaf fected. Perhaps the enthusiasm with which it is apparent she enters into the part is responsible for this. In may be that the power of her youth in such an emotional role forces from her the nat ural to the melodramatic. In the torture scene and the scene of the assassination of Baron Scarpia her ability was manifest to such a degree that she was called before the curtain. Considering the fact that Miss Walsh has. during the nine years she has spent on the stage, attempted nothing higher than support in comedy and romantic drama, and that her "Floria Tosca" is but four months old. her work in these extremely trying passages of the Sar dou drama was really creditable. The company supporting Miss Walsh, headed by Melbourne MacDowell, is practically the same as supported Miss Davenport the last few years she was on the stage. However, "La Tosca" is a play that limits opportunity to four characters, those of "Cavardossi" and "Angelottl" besides "Tosca" and "Scar pia." To sav that Mr. MacDowell makes "Baron Scarpia" sufficiently villainous Is saying enough. His familiarity with the character during the years he sup ported Miss Davenport, his wife, made it easy in his hand3. The "Cavardossi" of Arthur Elliott could be improved upon. HIb stride and speech suggest a little of the swash buckler. The scenery and draperies used last night are the same as formerly owned by Miss Davenport. Only a fair sized audience saw the piece.

Although the house was in committee of the whole for two hours yesterday afternoon it did not recommend a single bill for passage. It managed to kill two bills, however the only ones con sidered. One of these was Brooke's law to prohibit acknowledging deeds in blank, and the other was a criminal procedure bill, introduced by Adams, of Sedgwick. This bill has occasioned more oratorical pyrotechnics than any other bill in the house, with the pos sible exception of the bucket shop bill. We do mending and sew on buttons free of charge.

Topeka had a new "Portia" last night as well as a new "Tosca." She was a "Portia" that well pleased the rather limited audience at the Grand Opera House. She gave rather an original portrayal, of Shakespeare's clever wom an, and while it may not have been the exact "Portia"' that Shakespeare had In mind when he wrote "The Mer chant of Venice," It was one that won the warm good will of the audience. Miss Odette Tyler appeared in Topeka for the first time last night, and was received with much favor. The engagement of the new triple al liance, formed for the purpose of pre senting Shakespearean drama, did not open as auspiciously as it might have done. The weather had undoubtedly something to do with the small audience and possibly, also, the fact that admira tion for Shakespeare is apparently on the decline. Those who do enjoy Shakes peare on the stage, and saw "The Mer chant of Venice" last night, considered their time enjoyably employed. Mr. Charles B. Hanford, the third member of the new alliance, was neces sarily somewhat In the background as "Gratiano" in the performance last I night. Mr. R. D. MacLean as "Shy- lock" was much to the front, but he did not succeed In overshadowing Miss Tyler as "Portia," Mr. MacLean re- ceived much applause in his portrayal of the grasping Jewish merchant, but not more than Miss Tyler received as his womanly undoer. Mr. MacLean's "Shylock" was an ad mirable character. Once in a while it seemed he gave to the part, in his speech at least, a youthfulness which was not possessed by Shakespeare's Jew. In the effective portions of the portrayal, however, his acting was en tirely satisfactory. Miss Tyler's "Portia" waa altogether free from affectation. Her lines were spoken naturally, her movements and gestures were natural as well. She made "Portia" a much lighter part than is usually seen, and therein lay the ciiarm of her work. While Mr. Hanford's opportunities were limited as "Gratiano." he made the most of them, and the audience liked him. It was the same "Gratiano" he gave here a year ago while support ing the late Thomas Keene. The supporting company In general proved capable last night, and the pro duction was appropriately costumed, and staged. This afternoon "Romeo and Juliet" Is the matinee bill, and tonight "Othello" will be presented, with Mr. MacLean In the title role. Mr. Hanford as "Iago" and Miss Tyler aa "Desdemonav" E.

6 EXTRAORDINARY Is the Activity of Business Throughout, the Country Speculation lias Not Shaken the Basis of Trade. THEY KEEP ON BUYING Europeans Continue to Take Our Wheat and Corn Regardless of Whether Are Up or Down. They New York, Feb. 11. R. G. Dun Co.'a SVeekly Review of Trade says: The solid basis for good business has not been shaken by speculative reac tion. Stocks have been slightly lower and the market is all the safer because much unsoundness and unreason have been shaken out. Speculation in wheat, which for a time depressed prices, has also taken a turn, and with heavy ex ports the market tends upward again. The cotton movement is not essentially speculative, but based on reported in juries and holds its advance. Mean while dispatches from all parts of the country show extraordinary activity in the chief branches of trade, and a busi ness much larger than a year ago in nearly all. The heavy excess of ex ports over imports continues. New York exports having been in five weeks 16 per cent larger than last year, while imports were 9 per cent larger. In wheat Americans are getting profits, even though prices are lower than they were some months ago. After some yielding the price rose to 79.85 cents and the May option rose c, during- the week, with Atlantic exports of 3.926.692 bushels, flour included, against 2.174,921 last year, and total exports, in cluding the Pacific, 4.647,405 bushels, against 2.960.515 bushels last year. Western receipts have been 3,056,456 bushels, against 2,957,770 for the week last year, while corn exports for the week were 3,102,609 bushels, against 3,365.976 last year. At higher or lower prices foreigners are constantly taking more wheat or corn from us than in any previous year. The cotton market Is in slightly stronger position because foreign buying continues beyond prece dent, while home indications now point to a smaller crop than was expected. The stocks on hand are heavy, both commercial and mill, but foreign buying supports the rise in prices thus far. Mill operations help also, though at this sea son they are naturally small, for the heavy demand for goods of late leads buyers to remember the material has not advanced in price as much as staple cottons since the lowest point was reached. Goods are rapidly advancing with the expanding demand, but the material has advanced only an eighth. What wool is worth in view of the great stocks yet unconsumed few are able to Judge, and that fact hinders ad justment of prices for goods. Sales have been small, only 6,475.400 pounds at the three chief markets for the week, against 5,303,200, last year, and 9.175,900 In the same week of 1897, but this year and in 1897 the buying has by no means represented consumption only. While quarter and half blood wool and delaine have been in demand and firm, the quo tations indicate weakness in Ohio and other fleeces. The goods market is of similar character, strong for cheviots and serges, but not for fine, high grade goods or plain goods. The iron industry is so exploited by consolidations and attempts of that nature that it is won derful prices have not reflected dis trust. Instead there have been general advances in pig, because the demand has been larger, for bessemer at Pitts burg to $11.40 and grey foTge to $10.75 and in finished products because nearly all are in demand beyond the capacity of the works for some time to come. The advance of 10 cents per keg in wire nails by the association was not caused by any special pressure for supplies, but rails have advanced $2 per ton and bars $1 because of urgent demand, es pecially at Philadelphia and Chicago, for several thousand cars, and plate mills are everywhere overcrowded. At the same time the many negotia tions for consolidation of interests ar rest trade in some quarters and disturb it in others, causing unusual irregular ities in prices. The pipe consolidation appears to be stopped for the moment by the opposition of one company, but the activity is greater than ever before. About 20.000 rails have been sold at New York, half for a Nova Scotia road. In hoops there is no advance, and the Standard Oil company contracted for 3.000 tons at very low figures. The de mand for black sheets is beyond the capacity of the mills. Failures for the week have been 217 in the United States, against 295 last year, and 35 in Canada, against 43 last year.

He Gambled and Did All Sorts of Wicked Things And Died In Delirium Away From His Relatives. (Copyright, 1899, by Associated Press.) London, Feb. 11. There is a dark tragedy lying behind the death of young Prince Alfred of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha the only son of the duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, second son of Queen Victoria. This adds greatly to the grief of his relatives. He was hand some tall and of manly bearing and hi3 slight, boyish figure in a brilliant Hus sar uniform was conspicuous during the Jubilee festivities in England. Soon af ter the Jubilee, the prince returned to his regiment in Berlin, one of the crack guards regiments but he soon fell into bad hands, became entangled In the gambling scandals and finally this re sulted in his cousin. Emperor William dismissing him from the guards, and under the guise of promotion, transfer ring him to a line regiment at Coburg. Two other officers who were mixed up In the gambling scandal were cashiered. But gambling was not the worst fea ture of the young prince's case. He in dulged in other dissipations which un dermined his health and brought about his untimely death as it did with Al fonso XII of Spain. Early in January specialists pro nounced Prince Alfred's state to be hopeless and his succession to the throne of Coburg out of the question. The prince however had to participate in the silver wedding festivities of his parents and was carried to the gala performance at the Coburg theater in a Sedan chair. Four days before the prince's death the disease from which he was suffering caused inflammation of the brain, bringing an agonizing end. He died without any of his relatives near him, in a delirium in the sanitar ium in the Austrian Tyrol to which he was taken. Only two doctors were at his bedside when he expired. A QUESTION OF SUCCESSION. The state of the health, of the Duke Saxe-Coburg and Gotha will bring into prominence the question of the succes sion to the throne of Coburg, which de volves upon the duke of Connaught. brother of the duke of Edinburgh and third son of Queen Victoria. Before long the duke of Connaught may have to decide whether he will leave his na tive land and take up the sovereignty of Saxe-Coburg. If he chooses the lat ter he will have to abandon his career in the British army, in which he is the most popular general and has the pros pect of becoming commander-in-chief. The duchess of Connaught will have an important voice in the question. She is a patriotic German and a princess of Prussia and will probably throw her weight in favor of Saxe Coburg. The general belief, however, is that the duke of Connaught will renounce the title and succession in favor of his son. Prince Arthur, who was born Jan uary 13, 1S83. The death of Prince Alfred has been a heavy blow to the London season, as black will have to be worn up to Eas ter. The season began with the opening of the parliamentary session. RECEPTIONS AND BALLS. The duke of Devonshire political re ception on Tuesday evening was a bril liant function. The duchess of Marl borough was magnificently gowned and Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain wore pale pink moire satin and white lace. Airs. Ronalds was dressed in black tulle and Jet. Prominent among the guests were Mrs. Henry White, wife of the United States charge d'affaires, who is at pres ent chaperoning Lord Rosabery's daughters. The most gorgeous festivity of the week, however, was the ball at the Hotel Cecil in aid of the Gordon me morial college at Khartoum. There was a dazzling display of jewelry and embroidery and the Duchess of Marl borough was again the center of attrac tion, in white muslin, with rich pink embroideries. She wore her famous pearls, of which she had fifteen or six teen rows around her neck, besides a necklace of diamonds and a double tiara in her hair. Lady Randolph Churchill's pearls were almost as splen did. London is to have another great ba zaar which is expected to eclipse the successful press bazaar of last year. It will be held at the Niagara skating rink in June, in aid of the Charing Cross hospital. The arrangements are on a grandiose scale. Practically every duchess and every woman of note in London society will aid in some way or ther. Mrs. John W. Mackay will take the American stall, assisted by her daughter. Princess Colonna and Mesdames Clarence Mackay, Bradley Martin and Ronalds. A RICH AMERICAN'S GIFT. A rich American has presented a whole American bar outfit which will be in the hands of Mrs. Brown Potter. The latter was present at the Devon shire reception on Tuesday and it is whispered that the invitation was sent at the instance of the Prince of Wales. Children deprived of fats and mineral foods have weak bones, flabby flesh and thin watery blood. The milk of nursing mothers, enfeebled by chron ic diseases, or long contin ued nursing, produces the same results. Scott's Emulsion is cod liver oil partly digested and with the hypophosphites, forms a fat food which acts on the infant through the mother's milk, giving rich blood, strong nerves and sound flesh and bones to both. 50c. and $1.00, n druggists. ECOTT BOWNE. Chemists, Kcw Yoclb Correspondence which appears period ically criticising the manners of the present day young man, is again agi tating in the columns of the Morning Post. These young men are accused of neglecting to call after accepting hos pitality in refusing to dance and in gen eral lack of manners and breeding. One of the fruits of the Hooley ex posures is that Lords de la Warr and Albemarle announced this week their intention of returning the 27,000 pounds which Hooley claims they received for becoming directors of the French Dun lop Pneumatic Tire company. Both, however, repudiated Hooley's account of the matter. 1 IAN MACLAREN COMING. The Rev. John Watson (Ian Mac Laren) and Mrs. Watson are passengers on board the White Star line steamer Teutonic, which left Liverpool for New "York on Wednesday. They will spend three months in the United States. Advices from Stockholm show that the health of King Oscar is far from satisfactory. He will go to Biarritz, if he is able to do so, at the end of the month. Thenca he will take a trip to North Africa. The queen of Sweden and Norway is still very feeble. She will go to Honnef, Prussia, after King Oscar's departure for Biarritz. Washington's birthday will be bril liantly celebrated at the Uijited States legation at Stockholm by a ball which the crown prince has promised to at tend. The well known Polar explorer, Prof. Nathorst, has issued an appeal to the Swedish people for funds to equip an expedition to East Greenland during the coming summer to search for An dree, the missing balloonist and to en gage in scientific explorations. The party will consist of 25 persons. They will be absent four months and the cost of the expedition is estimated at 70,000 crowns. TO ALFOttD'S MEMORY. Eugene Ware Starts a Movement for Erecting a Tablet. Lawrence, Kan., Feb. 11. Eugene Ware, in a letter addressed to the editor of the Lawrence Journal today, makes the fol lowing suggestion: "A bronze commemorative tablet ought to be put up in the university hall with young Lieutenant Alford's portrait bust in bas relief, with brief statement and rec ord. "We cannot afford to have our bright Kansas boys forgotten, who lose their lives in doing great deeds for their coun try. "Such a tablet, worthy of the occasion, will cost, say $500. Let Lawrence raise half of it, and let 250 of the lawyers of the state give $1 each. This can be easily done. So appoint a committee and begin. Don't go to the legislature, where idiots can get up and talk copperheadism. Don't ask the state; ask the people. The people are all right. And there will be plenty who will want to go in on subscription. It would delight me to see this thing go through with a quick rush. Yours very truly. E. F. WARE." The university faculty last night in structed the chancellor to express their sympathy to the parents of Lieutenant Alford, which was done in the following letter; "The University of Kansas, "Chancellor's Office, "Lawrence, Feb. 10, 1S99. "Mrs. D. S. Alford, Lawrence. Kan.: "Dear Friends: In accordance with a vote of the university council I desire to express the profound sympathy of the en tire university with you in your sudden and terrible bereavement by the death of your son on the field of battle at Caloocan. Lieutenant Alford was a man whose char acter and career were a source of pride to the University of Kansas, and wh'le the loss felt by his alma mater is whollv over shadowed by the grief of his familv. I wish to assure you that his death is felt as a personal loss by the many members of the faculty who knew him. "As the first alumnus of the University of Kansas to lay down his life in the serv ice of his country, -Lieutenant Alford's name will forever occupy a distinguished place in the history of the institution. "In behalf of the universitv faculty, proud of his manly devotion 'to country and his unflinching bravery in the face of his country's foes, I am, yours sincerely and sorrowfully, "F. H. SNOW, Chancellor." IN AN OPEN BOAT. Capt Frietsch Will Attempt to Cro the Pacific. Chicago, Feb. 11.

RAILROAD NEWS.Ilf Chicago Alton Earnings For 1898 Much Decreased. The Net Receipts Have Fallen Away $103,000. POOR CROPS A CAUSE. One of the Strong Arguments For the Road's Sale. Minority Stockholders Are Be ing Influenced. Chicago, Feb. 11 One of the strongest arguments yet to be presented for a sale or the Alton road is the annual re port of the earnings of that company, which will be issued in a few days. It will show that the gross earnings of the Chicago Alton for 1898 de creased $400,000 and that the net re ceipts fell away $103,000. Poor crops and the general business depression is given as the cause of the big falling off. The figures, however, are certain to have a strong influence on the minority stockholders toward inclining them to accept the offer of the syndicate. Officers of the company say that no part of the decrease can be attributed to the reports that have been in cir culation for the past two or three months regarding a sale of the prop erty.

Five of Them Sent Over the Union Pa cific for Seattle Last Night by a Kiondiker. Kansas City, Feb. 11. Dogs for the .Klondike are the latest product that is giving Kansas City fame. A team of five dogs was made up here by a returning Kiondiker and taken with him last night over the Union Pacific to Seattle, where the will be shipped by steamer to Dyea. They will be hitched to a sled for the first time in their lives and draw a heavy load of provisions through the famous Chilkoot pass. Three were Newfoundlands and two St. Bernards, without a mongrel hair on any of they. They were all young and intel ligent looking. When taken to the baggage room they were muzzled and chained in compliance with a rule of the place. It was evidently a new experience for them which they did not relish. All were well kept and had been used to the privileges of the house that are generally granted to well behaved Kansas City canines. Their master had to pay for their transportation as excess baggage, estimated at SO pounds each. Everyone who is a Kansan should up hold Kansas by buying Kansas manu factured goods. By so doing you will help home industries to grow; help build up factories and cities, and in the end help yourselves. The further a dol lar goes away from home the longer it will take it to come back. Be wise and call for the "Silver Leaf" brand of goods. All made at home, and every grocer carries them.
