General MacAr thur's division pushed on across rice fields and rivers yesterday, through the Jungle, without meeting any opposition, the enemy Hying from the villages of Taal. I'sat and Bigaa, after burning them. Kven the town of Bulacan, the capital of the province, was burned ar.d abandoned, although, General MacAr thur passed miles to the right. At 5 o'clock the enemy made a stand in trenches half a mile beyond Guiguinto station, at a river crossing. The Kansas and Pennsylvania regiments immediate ly deployed, crossing the railroad bridge under htavy fire, and attacked the enemy's position. The insurgents with stood the musketry fire for half an hour, but the artillery disconcerted them and at the end of a forty-five minute fight the insurgents bolted towards the hills. Our loss was two killed and twenty wounded. The enemy's loss was severe. General MacArthur wept into camp near Guiguinto station at 6:30 o'clock. DETAILS OP TEE BATTLE. Gallant Hush of the Kansas Boys Across a Bridge. New York, March "0. A dispatcb to the Herald from Manila says: The army's advance today had cov ered more than two miles before any re sistance was offered. Insurgents have been found with their throats cut. This is understood to in dicate that they were punished for re fusing to right. It is now believed that the insurgents' faith In Aguinaldo is destroyed. Aguin aldo with his family is said to be pre paring to flee from Malolos. Gen. MacArthur is making ready an armored railway car for future opera tions. At 6 o'clock Wednesday morning the flying column, with the Third artillery and the Montana and Kansas volunteers on the left of the railroad and the Penn sylvania, South Dakota and Nebraska volunteers on the right, started for Ba cave across two miles of open fields. The insurgents began to fire immedi ately, and continued until the troops reached the river at Bocave. The American troops never wavered. The Nebraska regiment swung In from the extreme left and doubled up the insur gents' left on the river. The insurgents ran after some rails had been, removed from the railroad. Woundi d insurgents reported that the enemy had retreated to Malolos. In the Pennsylvania regiment there was one killed and five wounded. In the Montana regiment five men were wounded, and in the Nebraska regiment one man was killed and ten wounded. The Americans' advance was wonder fully rapid, considering that the enemy destroyed the bridges as they fled. There was no resistance at Bigaa. The troops advanced quickly in con trncted lines to the town of Guiguinto. The Pennsylvania regiment crossed the bridge as the advance guard. Unexpectedly the insurgents concealed n the woods ahead opened a heavy fire. Then the Kansas regiment and one bat talion of the .South Dakota regiment rushed over the bridge under fire. Two of the Utah battery guns and one Colt rapid-firer also came into action. The insurgents had made trenches across th railroad. Our loss was several killed and more than twenty wounded before the insurgents were driven on. CLOSING IN ON MALOLOS. Washington Officials Figure Out the Plan of Attack. Washington. March 30. With the American forces within three and a half miles of the insurgent capital, interest in the military movement north of Man ila has about reached the culminating Ioint. It was stated at the war depart ment today that the march of three and a half miles might take all day. in view of the successive lines of insurgent entrenchments and the strong earth works which it is believed the enemy lias thrown up immediately around the city. In that event the storming of the city itself would not begin until tomor row. There is no certainty, however, that the short distance may not be compassed early today, so as to permit an assault late today or during the night. Gen. Corbin was of the opinion that the attack would begin today. MaJ. Simpson of the military informa tion bureau has made a final readjust ment of the American position, showing just how the approach to the insurgent capita' will be executed. It shows that the brigade of Hale stretched out on the right and that of Harrison Gray Otis is on the left. Each brigade in this advance line is made up of seasoned volunteers, with four batteries of the Third artillery, these being the only reg ulars. But just back of them, and mid day between the two advance brigades, 4a the strong force of Wheaton, which bas been kept from the arduous work ef tha last few days and held as a sort of battering ram. It is made up mainly of regulars, the Twenty-second infantry and the Third infantry, as well as one regiment of volunteers, the Second Ore gon, which has seen some of the hard est fighting of the war. It is expected that this reserve force of Wheaton will be heard from when the main assault begins. Hale's advanced column on the rght is made up of the First Nebraska, First South Dakota, First Colorado and First Wyoming. Otis' advanced column on the left is made up of the Twentieth Kansas, First Montana, four batteries of the Third artillery, the Thirteenth Minnesota and the Tenth Pennsylvania. The Minnesota regiment was sent for ward from the waterworks yesterday in order to strengthen the advanced line for the final assault. GOD SAVE THE CZAR. His Mother and the Head of the Church Conspire. Paris, March 30. The Echo de Paris today publishes a sensational dispatch from Copenhagen saying a plot against the czar, in which his mother and M. Pobyedonotzeff, the head of the Holy Synod are implicated has been discov ered, the object of the conspirators be ing to take advantage of the state of the czar's health to remove him from power and confide the government to his uncle who is classed as a notorious reactionary. JOE BRISTOL'S OPINION. Says There Is No General Peeling Against Americans Among the Cubans. "Washington, March 30. Fourth Assist ant Postmaster General Bristow returned here today from Cuba, where he accom panied the postmaster general. He says there is no feeling- of antagonism on the part of the Cuban people generally against the Americans, for whom almost all Cu bans have only friendship. 'There are many beggars and vagabonds there," he said, "but most of these have been maxle so by "VVeyler's reconcen.tr ado order. Very many of those "who have bt-en. insurgents are good people, peace ably inclined, and wiil work when They have the opportunity. Hut undoubtedly some of these augment the host oi bri gands throughout the island. Unless thor ough restraint is enforced, these brigand operations will continue to break out in some places. The Cuban people as a whole will give their best efforts to sup press thfm. and a well organized police system should be able to keep them well in hand." SHE SAW THE MURDER Young Girl on the Stand In the Pitts Trial, In Progress at Garden City, Kansas. Garden City, Kan., March 30. The cli max of Interest in the Pitts murder trial was reached late yesterday, when Miss Stella Schuitz, 18 years of age. was placed on the witness stand by the state. Miss Schuitz resides with her parents a half mile north of the place where the shooting occurred. She says her atten tion was attracted to the scene by seeing the Naborses, father and son, in their field, and by Pitts approaching from the west wilh. a gun. She says that when within twenty-five or thrity feet of each other all stopped for a short time. They appeared to be talking, but she could not hear the conversation. Suddenly both Naborses turned and ran from Pitts. Pitts thot with a double-barreled shotgun and both men fell. Young Nabors got partly up. Pitts approached him within twenty feet and Louis Nabrs struggled up. threw up his hands and Pitts fired the thirc. shot, killing. The general opinion is that a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree will be found by the jury, although Pitts was acquitted only the other day of killing the elder Nabors. DIYIDE THE PRINTING. Capital and Mail and Breeze Make an Agreement. The executive council compromised the official state paper controversy this morning by dividing the plum, giving each of the contestants half. The Cap ital will be official state paper for the year commencing next month and the Mail and Breeze will be the official organ for the following year. It was evident that the members of the council could not come to an agree ment after the 175th ballot was taken this morning and a proposition to com promise was suggested. Editor Capper of the Mail and Breeze and Editor Mul vane of the Capital were sent for and they were informed of the arrangement. Both men acquiesced and it was agreed that the Capital should have the first year. Mr. Capper is very well pleased with the arrangement for the second year is much better so far as the per quisites are concerned as the legislative session will be included in that year with the necessary publication of the laws passed. It will also be the Btate and national campaign year. MRS. DIGGS WILL ATTEND. State Librarian Admitted to the Dem ocratic Banquet Tonight. Thus far but one woman has been honored with an invitation and ticket to the Democratic banquet at the state house tonight and she is Mrs. Annie L. Diergs, state librarian. Mrs. Diggs attended the banquet two years ago and was one of the most in terested of the guests, as she will be tonight. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON. James Reed Hanged on the Same Scaffold That His Father Died On. Kansas City, Mo., March 30. James Reed, aged 22 years, colored.was hanged in the jail yard at the county Jail at 10:50 o'clock today. Reed shot Mrs. Susie Blakesly to death in her home in a fit of jealousy. He died on the same scaffold on which his father, Martin Reed died In 1891, for the murder of his wife, Jim Reed s mother. Ocean Line Pigeon Service Tested. Paris, March 30. The Figaro says that a carrier pigeon released from a General Transatlantic company steam ship on her way to New York has reached its destination. This is the first dispatch of the new carrier pigeon service. The message was addressed to M. Paoli, commissary of police, who is now at Nice. The paper adds that the success of the service is assured. Living pictures served by the Cran ford ladies at Unity church, Friday evening, March 31. Admission 25c ROWENALEE SUNK A Mississippi Hirer Steamer Goes Down In Mid Channel With 60 People on Board, Pas sengers and Crew. ALL BUT TWO DROWN. There Was an Explosion and She Broke In Two Sinking Instantly In 17 Feet of Water. The Captain and One Male Were Saved. St. Louis, March 30. A special to the Republic from New Madrid, Mo., says: The steamer Rowena Lee, with about 31 passengers aboard, besides her crew exploded opposite Tyler, Mo., and im mediately sank with all on board except Captain George Carvill and one of the crew. The steamer left Cairo with 16 passen gers aboard bound for Memphis. At Carruthersville, Mo., she landed and took aboard 15 more passengers. It is estimated that with passengers and crew she then had aboard about 60 peo ple. She made the next landing at Tyler, Mo., and backed into mid-stream from Tyler, to proceed on her journey. The steamer had just reached the middle of the river when she suddenly stopped and lurched as if a snag had been struck. The next moment the boat parted in the middle, a volume of steam and debris arose and the detonation of an explosion thundered over the water. The river is running very high and the steamer immediately sank in 17 feet of water with all on board but the captain and one of the crew. These two clung to wreckage and were saved by boats. Among the passengers were: H C Lewis, traveling freight agent of the Lee line and S. C. Humphrey, general agent for the Chicago Mill and Lumber company of Cairo. The steamer was manned by the fol lowing crew: Captain George Carvell. First Clerk L. K. Booker. Second Clerk Gus Mitchell. Third Clerk Sam Lewis. Pilots Sid Smith and E. Banks. Mates John Krasty and Patrick Flan- 1SEngineers Albert Calder and Frank Stull. Steward George W. Todd. Mail Clerk M. T. Kelly. Most of the crew live in Memphis. OWNED IN MEMPHIS. Memphis.Tenn., March 30. The steam er Rowena Lee was owned by the Lee line of Memphis, and was one of the most magnificent passenger steamers in the Mississippi river trade, fcne pneu between Memphis and Cairo. News of the sinking of the Rowena Lee spread like wildfire in Memphis where most of the crew lived. The Rowena Lee was built at Jeffer sonville, Ind., five years ago and was valued at $30,000. BUT TWO ESCAPE. Cairo, 111., March 30. As far as can be learned only two persons of the 60 on board the sterner Rowena Lee es caped when that vessel sank in the Mis sissippi river near Tyler, Mo. it is probable that it is the worst river dis- If Hi WhTto wrtWi f. PtTilf 1 aster known In these waters for nearly half a century. Of the sixty people on board about thirty were negro deck hands. All those on board were drown ed excepting Capt. George Carvell and one of the mates. Among the passen gers reported to have been lost are: Clay Lewis of Cairo, 111., general freight agent and solicitor for the Lee line. S. C. Humphrey of Cairo, lumber in spector for the Chicago Mill and Lum ber company. James Sullivan of Cairo, 111., lumber Inspector. Al Fan's, Hickman, Ky. A RUN OF BAD LUCK. The Lee line of Mississippi packets has had a run of bad luck during the last ten years. The new James Lee, one of the fastest steamers that ever plied the river runs, followed the older James Lee in 1894, being burned while moored at Hopefleld bend, two miles above Memphis. The Rowena and the Rosa Lee, named after Captain Lee's daugh ters, were continued in local and upper Mississippi river service. The Rosa Lee was sunk less than a year ago and the disaster to the Rowena Lee is a last chapter in the series of river horrors. The Lee line of steamers was estab lished more than half a century ago by the father of the present Captain James Lee who bore the same name. The cot ton packet and local business was high ly profitable until the river became paralleled fifteen or twenty years ago with railroads, and since then the busi ness has been gradually going from bad to worse. The Lee line is the last survivor of a number of large local lines of a quarter of a century ago and recalls the days when the James Lee and the Kate Ad ams would race from Helena, or Ar kansas City for the honor of bringing in the first bale of cotton and the ar rival of a big anchor line packet loaded SOMETHING'S GOT TO with sugar and molasses was an event of more than passing moment. SMALLEST OB" THE LINE. The scene of the disaster near Tyler, Mo., is 125 miles south of here. The steamer was blown up, being torn asun der amidships. Both ends went down in a few moments. The boat had landed at Tyler to put off some freight and was backing out from shore when the acci dent occurred. The crew consisted of George Carvell. captain: J. K. Booker, first clerk; George Mitchell, second clerk: Sam Lewis, third clerk; Sidney Smith, pilot; Eph Cosby, first mate; Pat Flannigan, second mate; James Calder, first engineer; Frank Stull, sec ond engineer; George Todd, steward; M. C. Kelly, mail clerk. The Lee left Cairo Tuesday evening with a light passenger and freight trip but picked up considerable below here. The sunken steamer was the smallest boat in the Lee line. She was feet long, 33 feet wide and feet hold. NOT SO BAD. Memphis, Tenn., March 30. The man agers of the Lee line of steamers have just announced that only three lives were lost by 'the sinking of the Rowena Lee near Tyler, Mo. The dead are: M. T. KELLY, mail clerk, Memphis. MRS. CHAMBERS, a passenger. Unknown colored woman. ANOTHER REPORT MAKES IT 4. St. Louis, March 30. A Post Dispatch special from Cairo, 111., says: The Ora Lee was coming up the river at the time the Rowena Lee sank and at once began the work of rescue. She was at Tiptonville this morning and while there the Post Dispatch corres pondent telephoned a Mr. Eastwood of that place and learned from him that only four persons were lost, according to the report of the officers of the Ora Lee. KEUCHLER MAT BE SAFE. St. Louis, March 30. A Post-Dispatch special from Memphis, Tenn., says: H. C. Lewis, traveling passenger agent for the Lee line, telephoned to Capt. James Lee, of this city from Tiptonville, giving the mail clerk's name as George Keuchler of St. Louis. It is doubted by the postal authorities at Memphis, Continued on Sixth Page.) BRYAN JS HERE. Leader of the Democracy Ar rives in Topeka To Attend the State Democrat ic Banquet. UE TALKS WEIGHTILY While Sharing Himself With a "Safety Razor" At the Hotel Throop Expects Some New Issues In the Next Campaign His Tiews on the War. The advance guard of the Democratic host arrived in Topeka yesterday after noon. Others came this morning on early trains while the noon trains brought crowds of the faithful Bour bons who come to Topeka to participate in the second annual banquet and the great reunion which takes place at this time. The first of the distinguished visitors to arrive was William Jennings Bryan. BUST, Chicago Tribune. He came at 11 o'clock on the Santa Fe and was soon installed in his room at the Hotel Throop. There was no num ber on the door but the Democrats soon found that Mr. Bryan was there and a stream of callers poured into his room until nearly noon. Then he dismissed the callers and divested of his coat, vest, collar and necktie, stuck the end of a towel around his chirt collar band and proceeded to shave himself. From a big grip the necessary articles for shaving were taken and after sharp ening up his razor the great apostle of free silver and Democracy was inter viewed by a Journal reporter. Mr. Bry an's skill with a safety razor attracted the attention of the reporter to such an extent that he narrowly escaped being interviewed himself. But, after several long, steady pulls with the safety, Mr. Bryan turned around in reply to the following question: "Do you find any signs of weakening among the Democrats who supported the Chicago platform?" Mr. Bryan seemed surprised at such a question yet he did not forget the work at hand. "Zip, zip" went the ra zor as the whiskers were mowed down. "Not the least sign of weakening" zip-zip-zip "is apparent among the Democrats" zip-zip-zip "who supported the Chicago platform." Zip, zip, zip sang the razor as Mr. Bryan continued. "I have had the opportunity to meet many of the rank and file" zip, zip, zip, "and I have not found the least ten dency to abandon the position, taken in 1896." The razor went on as Mr. Bryan ex pressed himself as follows: "Unless a change comes over the par ty within the next 18 months, the Na tional Democratic convention will re affirm the Chicago platform and add thereto, new planks to cover the new issues. "The trust question will not be a new issue because the last Democratic con vention declared against the trusts and the trusts opposed the Democratic par- i ty s candidates, the suDject has grown in importance because of the new trusts which have been created, and I believe the present conditions will brine us more recruits In 1900 than It did In 1896. "The principle which underlies the trust is identical with that which un derlies the gold standard and the at tempt to boom a paper money trust for the benefit of the national bankers." "What position Is the party likely to take on the increase in the standing army and imperialism?" "I think it will be; a unit against the increase of the army and the perma nent holding of the Philippines. A few Democrats were deceived in the begin ning of the controversy, but I feel sat isfied that there will be no material loss to the party when voting time comes. Those who believe in the doc trine of self-government in the United States will not be tempted to deny self government to the Filipinos. "The adoption of the Bacon resolu tion which was defeated by the vote of the vice president, would in my judg ment have prevented trouble if followed by the president. That resolution pledged the government to the same course for the Filipinos that the presi dent had announced with regard to Cuba. The Cubans had been promised independence, and that is what the Fili pinos desired and that is what the reso lution assured them. Had the provisions of this resolution been carried into effect the bloodshed would have been averted and the lives of Americans would not have been sacrificed." Mr. Bryan was asked as to his opin ion of the great issues of the next na tional campaign. He replied by saying: "I do not pretend to be a prophet and would hesitate long before I would make a guess in that direction. For example, who could have told, two years ago, that the issue in the last campaign should be: Stand by the president and uphold the administration in the war with Spain. Conditions may be such that new issues will come in for atten tion." Later Mr. Bryan expressed the opin ion that the silver question or the "financial question," as he expressed it, will be one of the most important is sues. Asked if In his opinion the anti trust question would supersede the financial question he replied: '"No it will not, simply because the same spirit of monopoly runs through it all." Mr. Bryan left home two weeks ago last Tuesday and has visited Champaign, and Bloomington, 111., Knoxville and Chattanooga, Birmingham, Nashville and Memphis, Hot Springs, Little Rock, Fort Smith and Joplin, Mo. He goes home from Topeka tomorrow. NOW THE AUDITORIUM People Will Vote Next Tuesday and Proposition Will Carry. The Topeka city election will be held next Tuesday and the probability is that the vote will be large. The important question of an auditorium will be settled at the polls on that day and it will then be known whether the people want to pro vide for large gatherings in the capital of the state. The proposition to vote bonds to build a city hall and the sale of the present city building- is embodied in the ballot, and those who favor the proposition will place a cross mark opposite the "Yes' The fact that for the first time in To peka the women are to be allowed to vote on an issue of bonds has stimulated the interest in the question. There are few women in Topeka who are not in favor of the auditorium and it was a wise provis ion that they should be allowed, to express their sentiment. President Brigham of the Commercial club and everyone else who is interested in the project is confident that the proposi tion will be carried by a big majority. CY, THE GREAT TYCOON. David Overmyer's Compliments to the Political Boss. In arguing the Falloon side of the judicial contest before the senate this forenoon David Overmyer discussed at length the list of incidents in the clos ing hours of the legislature during which the appropriations for the con test were delaying matters of greater public interest. Mr. Overmyer said re ferring to Leland: "One man dictated the action; one man controlled the legislature and the same man controlled the veto of the bill appropriating money for this hearing which is authorized by law and is as legal as are your district courts. Yet, the whole state of Kansas; the entire Republican party was compelled to bow in submission to the dictates of this great giasticutus; this great generalis simo who controlled the governor. All bowed, I say, before the great tycoon of political boodleism and chicanery in Kansas. It's like the old story of the lion's den, the tracks all lead one way. Up in this judicial district the tracks all lead towards Troy. I give Leland credit for being a smart man but even he is unable to run through with all this political deviltry without dropping something which sustains his connection with it. In this instance the promise to pay one of these newspaper men money for their support was the act which showed his boodling connection with this case. I'll admit, too," contin ued Mr. Overmyer, "that these Republi can editors, are as a rule, on the make. And, they have a right to be. They see the trusts stealing everything in sight and they realize that they must get all they can out of it." The Overmyer argument ended the case and now the decision of the senate is awaited. The expense of thi3 hearing will amount to about $4,000 or $5,0u0. The senators and employes have procured their vouchers for ten days' pay and mileage. These vouchers will be traded to banks where they will be accepted, as there is no money to pay them. The vouchers will be presented to the next legislature for payment. EXPECT A LONG WAR. Foreign Governments Sending Mili tary Representatives to Manila. "Washington, March 30. Among the foreign attaches stationed at Washing ton the fighting about Manila is being followed with critical interest. They speak of it in rather serious terms, the prevailing view being that the insur gents can keep up a long and harass ing running fight. One of the foreign representatives who has seen long ser vice In the far east said that casualties of 21 a day may seem small but when long continued reach discouraging pro portions. Since the fighting with the Insurgents began some of the foreign government have arranged to send their military at taches to Manila to observe the devel opments. The Italian military expert already has left on that mission. Rockefeller's Railroad. Seattle, Wn., March 30. John .Rock efeller's railroad from Everett to the Monte Cristo mines Is being built as rapidly as possible. The construction gang has reached Stillaguamish canyon where the roadbed was swept away by flood in November. 1897. A dispatch from Everett says there is little doubt that in 60 days trains will be running to Monte Cristo, and the mines there will again be in operation. BLIZZARD IS EXTENSIVE. The Snow Drifts So Badly at St. Joseph That the Street Cars Are Un able to Bun. RAILROAD TRAFFIC Is Seriously Obstructed and Trains Are Ab&ndoned. Fire Inches of Snow at Ottum wa and Still Falling. St. Joseph, Mo., March 30. One of the worst snowstorms of the season has been raging here since last night. The wind is blowing and the snow is so badly drifted that street cars have been unable to run. Railroad trains are ir regular and some have been abandoned. The temperature is 22 degrees. The storm is the worst experienced here in many years so late in the sea son. Ottumwa, la., March 30. There are five inches of snow here.. It is still fall ing heavily. and hail have fallen successively here since midnight.accompanied by a strong north wind and a falling temperature. Kansas City, March 30. Rain, snow SNOW PLOWS BROUGHT OUT. Kansas City, March 30. Reports from the southwest indicate that the storm is general and exceeds in severity that of Wednesday, which was a record breaker. Chillicothe reports the worst snow storm in northern Missouri in many years, with a fall already exceed ing a foot in depth on the level, ami the storm still raging. Atchison, Kan., reports heavy snow from there to Oma ha, which is being drifted by a s'jons wind. The Missouri Pacific, expecting blockades, has equipped engines at dif ferent points with snow plows. The Missouri Pacific reported from six to twelve inches of snow from Atchison to Greenleaf and two feet at Blue Rap ids and Waterville, Kan. At Lea' en worth street car traffic has been im peded. PROSPECTS POOR. Little Hope of Pleasant Weather For Easter. The prospects for a pleasant Easter Sunday are not the best. With the weather that has prevailed for the past week there is little hope that it will clear off in a short time, and the pre dictions give no encouragement. Today's forecast is "snow this after noon and probably tonight. Colder in southeast portion tonight. Friday prob ably fair." The snowfall last night and this morn ing was about two inches. HE IS NOT EXPECTED. Why Grover Cleveland Will Not Attend the Ten-Dollar Dinner. Princeton, N. J., March 30. Ex-PresI-dent Grover Cleveland was asked today whether he expected to attend the Bel mont J10 Jefferson dinner to be given in New York city on April 13. He said he had not received an invitation. All he knew about the dinner was what ha had seen in the papers. JERRY SIMPSON A FACTOR. Retired Congressman Kay Be a Can didate For Governor. Some of the politicians among the Populists are looking over the field for a suitable candidate for governor and many of them are in earnest in the ef fort to induce Jerry Simpson to become a candidate. Since retiring from con gress Mr. Simpson has not expressed any political ambition and some of his friends think he is the man of the hour for the campaign in two years. There is every reason to believe, say the Populists, that a new man free from the gubernatorial entanglements of the past six years in the party will lead the fusionists In two years, to victory over Mr. Stanley they believe, and the indications now point strongly to Mr. Simpson. But, politics, like Kansas weather takes strange shifts and Mr. Simpson may be left high and dry by that time. ATTENTION, DEMOCRATS. Tour committee on arrangements In, charge of the conference and banquet would respectfully suggest the follow ing information in order to facilitate the attendance and seating of the large number who will participate. The ban quet, as you are aware, will be held in, the State library room in the state cap itol building. The doors will be open at 8:45 sharp, but persons attending should come at 8:15, thus giving time to check coats and hats. A reception com mittee will be present. Arrangements have been made with responsible parties to check hats, coats, etc., near the entrance to the hall, for which a charge of 16 cents and no more will be made. There Is no place in the hall for hats, coats, etc., as all avail able space will be required for the use of the people attending. A large number of Democrats have remitted for their admission tickets as late as the 29th and 30th. it being too late to send them their tickets; they will be held at the office of Frank S. Thom as, treasurer. No. 501 Kansas avenue, where parties will please call early to get same. No person will be admitted to the hall without a ticket, which Is not transfer able and can not be had at the hall, but can be had while they last, at the above number, 501 Kansas avenue.

Cruiser Philadelphia, THE BRITISH JOIN IN And the Two Shell the Island For Eight Days. Many Natires Killed and Til lages Destroyed. Apia, Samoan Islands, March 23, via Auckland. N. Z., March 30. The trou bles growing out of the election of a king of Samoa have taken a more ser ious turn and resulted in the bombard ment of native villages along the shore by the United States cruiser Philadel phia, Admiral Kautz commanding, and the British cruisers Porpoise and Roy alist. The bombardment has continued intermittently for eight days. Several villages have been burned and there have been a number of casualties among the American and British Bailors and marines. As yet it is impossible to esti mate the number of natives killed or In jured. As Mataafa and hi3 chiefs, constitut ing the provisional government, contin used to defy the treaty after the arrival of the Philadelphia, Admiral Kautz summoned the various consuls and the senior naval officers to a conference on board the Philadelphia, when the whole situation was carefully canvassed. The upshot was a resolution to dismiss the provisional government and Admiral Kautz issued a proclamation calling upon Mataafa and his chiefs to- return to their home3. Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the town he made his headquarters and went into the interior. Herr Rose, the German consul at Apia.issued a proclamation, supplement ing the one he had issued several weeks before, upholding the provisional gov ernment. As a result of this the Ma taafans assembled in large force and hemmed in the town. The British cruiser Royalist brought the Malietoa prisoners from the island to which they had been transferred by the provisional govern ment. The Americans then fortified Mulinuu where 22,000 Malietoans took refuge. The rebels the adherents of Mataafa barricaded the roads within the mu nicipality and seized the British houses. An ultimatum was then sent to them, ordering them to evacuate, and threat ening them, in the event of refusal.with a bombardment to commence at one o'clock on the afternoon of March 15. This was Ignored and the rebels com menced an attack in the direction of the United States and the British consulates about half an hour before the time fixed for the bombardment. The Philadelphia, Porpoise and Royalist opened fire upon the distant villages. There was great difficulty in locating the enemy, owing to the dense forest, but several shore villages were soon In flames. A defective shell from the Philadelphia exploded near the American consulate, and the marines outside narrowly es caped. A fragment struck the leg of Private Rndge, shattering it so badly as to necessitate amputation. Another fragment traversed the German con sulate, smashing the crockery. The Ger mans then went on board the German cruiser Kalke. During the night the rebels made a hot attack on the town, killing three British sailors. A British marine was shot in the leg by a sentry of his own party, another was shot in the foot and an American sentry was killed at his post. The bombardment continuing, the In habitants of the town took refuge on board the Royalist, greatly crowding the vessel. Many people are leaving Samoa, the captain of the Royalist urging them to go, so as not to interfere with the mil itary operations. The Porpoise has shelled the villages east and west of Apia and captured many boats. The Americans and British are fighting splendidly together but there Is a bitter feeling against the Germans. Two men, a British and a German subject, have been arrested as spies. The bombard ment of the jungle was for a time very hot. TO TAKE HART'S ISLAND. Government Expected to Build An other Fort to Protect New York. New Tork, March 30. The officials of the department of charities and correc tions were disturbed today by a report that the government would condemn Hart's island for military Durooses and that the war department will then erect fortifications there to command the en trance to Long Island sound. Hart's island contains 150 acres and the buildings are roughly estimated to be worth $2,000,000. Part of the island is used by the city as a burying ground for its unclaimed dead, and the government already owns two and a half acres at the southern extremity, having built a large lighthouse there. The city has received no official notice of the condemnation proceedings, but the government engineers are at work on the Island, and the report that the city would be dispossessed, originated with them. Postal Card Depot For Chicago. "Washington. March 30. It Is believed the postoffice department will order the re-establishment of a wholesale postal card depot in Chicago on July 1. This station Is for the purpose of keeping a large supply of these cards on hand to supply the surrounding country and Chicago itself. If the station is estab lished there will be about 25.000,000 cards stored in the depot, which has already been fitted up at Jackson and Canal streets. Before the old postoffice build ing was torn down Chicago and St. Louis were the two principal points of supply for the west. Books For Manila Boys. Seattle, Wash., March 30.

Greater New York is getting ready to give the re turning cruiser Raleigh a welcome be fitting a member of Dewey's victorious fleet. The demonstration that will fol low her arrival in this harbor will prob ably be of a two-fold character. The navy will offer its official congratula tions while the Raleigh is on her way up the North River to fire a salute at Grant's tomb. Then the entertainment by Father Knickerbocker will begin. Alderman John T. McCall has, by common consent, taken the matter in charge. He has planned a civic parade that will be one of the finest New York has ever seen. Alderman McCall has had a long conference with Mayor Van Wyck and they have an appointment for tonight, when final plans will be determined upon. Admiral McCall said yesterday: "The best proof of the importance which I attach to the Raleigh's recep tion is the fact that I am in favor of having the board of aldermen appro priate sufficient money from the city treasury to make the land ceremonies imposing. I have held several confer ences with different aldermen, and I thnik that when the appropriation Is introduced at the next session it will be carried unanimously. "If the appropriation is carried it will be the first time since the war began that welcoming ceremonies for a re turning ship or body of troops have been in any way defrayed by the city. The cost of welcoming Sampson and Schley's squadron was all paid for by private subscription. "But with the Raleigh It Is different. This ought to be a welcome by the city in its municipal character. "A committee of fifty citizens will probably be appointed by the mayor to arrange the details of the grand land parade. "My Idea is to have the police and fire departments well represented In the parade." The Central Federation Union at its meeting yesterday afternoon passed a resolution requesting Secretary Long I to have the Raleigh repaired at the New I York navy yard, rather than at Ports- mouth or Norfolk, so as to give the peo ple of this city an opportunity of visit ing ana inspecting her. FAIR FRANCHISE TAX. Governor Roosevelt Says Corporations Should Pay State a Just Per centage of Earnings. Albany, N. Y., March 30. Governor Roosevelt last night sent to the legislature a message recommending the appointment of a joint legislative committee to investi gate the subject of taxing public fran chises held by corporations and to report to the next legislature. The governor says in part: "The tax laws of this state are In an exceedingly unsatisfactory condition, and I do not see how they can be put upon a just and wise basis save after a careful investigation by legislative action. At present the farmers, those having small holdings, are paying an improper and ex cessive proportion of the general taxes. "There is evident injustice In the light taxation of corporations. 1 have not the slightest sympathy with the outcry against corporations as such or against prosper ous men of business. "From an armor plant to a street rail way, no work which is really beneficial to the public can be performed to the best advantage of the public save by men of such business capacity that they will not do the work unless thev themselves re ceive ample reward for doing It. "Moreover, to tax corporations or men of means in such a wav as to drive them out of the state, works great damage to j the state. "But while I freely admit all this. It yet remains true that a corporation which I derives its powers from the state should 1 pay to the state a lust percentaee of its earnings as a return for the privileges it enjoys. "This should be especially true for the franchises bestowed upon gas companies, street railroads and the like." KEXTLCKYAND KEARSARGE Commanders Selected For the Two New Battleships. "Washington, March 30. Commanders for the twin battleships Kearsarge and Ken tucky, now building at Newport News, have been selected by the navy depart ment and ordered to duty as superintend ents of their equipment and preparation.

Jamaica is on the Terge of a Revolution AGAIXST THE CROWN On Account of High Handed Methods of the Governor. Tariff on Necessaries and Luxuries on Free List. Correspondence of Associated Press. Kingston, Jamaica, March 30. The political crisis in Jamaica, that was foretold in the Associated Press dls patch of February 21, has developed. The colony entered the acute stage yes terday evening, and what the next week or day may bring forth it would need a wise prophet to forecast. The legislative council met on March 14 and the governor's address proved, apparently, a most conciliatory man! j festo to the people. The papers accepted 11 wiiti joy. Within twenty-four hours, however, it turned out to be waste paper. At the next day's session the government introduced a new tariff bill making drastic innovations, tax ng many necessities and putting on the iree list many luxuries. The elective house declined to discuss the bill, of which they had no notice, and by a unanimous vote threw out the first reading. By a quibble the gov ernor ruled that the bill from that mo ment went into operation, adjourned the council until today, and instantly con vened the privy council, which sustained his ruling, and ordered the new tariff in immediate operation concurrently with the existing- one, which expires March 31. This act caused commotion In com mercial circles. The general public was not less excited. The newspapers. In cluding the Gleaner, perhaps one of the most conservative and non-committal papers in the British colonies, raved and prophesied no end of evil. It was understood up to yesterday that the elected members had deter mined unanimously to block all further business until the government yielded to their constitutional right to accept or re.iect financial measures and with draw the outrageous ruling, as they ex pressed it, by which the new tariff had been forced on the country. The gov ernor yesterday evening took steps to block this programme. He issued a proclamation proroguing the counc l and another convening it to meet today at 2 o'clock. At the same time he issued a manifesto declaring that with concur rence and under the Instructions of Mr. Chamberlain he would by this step be enabled to reintroduce the tariff bill and carry it through, taking such steps as are necessary and as he Is authorized by the constitution to take to secure that object. This means just what was forecasted on reliable Information in the dispatch of February 21 and toward which the government has been working. That is, at the numerical increase of the official side so to outvote the electives and force government measures against which the representatives are unani mous. The tariff bill thus passed, a crown colony bill is expected to follow, to be similarly forced through. To meet this crisis, it is this morning reported that at a private meeting of the representa tives held last night it was unanimous ly decided that if the government brings In new official members and declines to withdraw the new tariff altogether, they will resign their seats In a body, thus compelling an appeal to the voters.

Jurcevity Fired at His Own Reflection in a Mirror. New Tork, March 30. All the physl clans and nurses in Bellevue hospital cannot convince Joseph Jurcevity that he is not dead by his own hand. He aimed four shots, and he knows exactly where they struck. A broken plate glass mirror at No. 622 East Twelfth street, where he lived, proves this, jurcevity shot his own reflection and he is firmly convinced that each wound was fatal Incldenally, he shot a stove that he believes is the medium which caused his trouble. He came to this country from St, Petersburg seven years ago, when he was 21 years old. He is an expert ma chinist and has always commanded good wages. Jurcevity first went to Boston. He was invited to attend a spiritualistic seance, and was forthwith converted to spiritualism. He was provided with a spook sweetheart, one Lelia, the spirit of an Egyptian princess, thousands of years Old. Lelia told Jurcevity, through a medium or course, that in all her wan derings she had met none to compare with him. The Kussian was delighted to have so distinguished a spirit sweetheart, and when she told him that he must economize, live in cheap lodgings, spend little for food, that he might give money to mediums to carry on their work, Jurcevity made the sacrifice willingly. There was nothing he was not willing to do for this intangible sweetheart. Three years ago Lelia commanded Jurcevity to come to New Tork, where fame and riches awaited him. It hap pened that the medium was coming to New Tork, too. Of course the man obeyed. He has lived for a year or more with Edmund Raymond at No. 622 East Twelfth street, who liked him and thought his eccentricities harmless. Never was a man more saturated with spiritualism, and he wanted to convert everybody to his belief. A few weeks ago Jurcevity turned his attention to mesmerism. He explained that his spirit sweetheart had told him that he was greater than Mesmer, and that in a short time he would startle the world. Since that time Jurcevity has tried to mesmerize everybody in the house, from Mr. Raymond down to the cat. Tester day afternoon Jurcevity went to his room after announcing that he was go ing to receive a visit from his spook sweetheart. A little while later there were six shots. Mr. Raymond hurried to Jurcevity's room. Jurcevity met him with outstretched arms. "I have just shot myself," he said, cheerfully, pointing to the shattered mirror, "and now I am in Heaven. How did you get here? Shoot yourself, too? I don't blame you a bit." Then he pointed to the stove. "I shot her, too," he added. "That Boston woman was there. Now Bhe is in a hotter place.' On the way to Bellevue hospital Jurcevity amused himself by trying to hypnotize the ambulance horse. Dr. Frank W. Robinson, the insanity ex pert, spent an hour with Jurcevity. He says the man's mind Is completely un balanced by spiritualism and mesmer ism. A HUMAN CALLIOPE. Little "Willie Swallowed a Whistle and a Tune Came From Him. Chicago, March 30. Willie Hchman is only 4 years old, but he has become famous in a day. Willie was playing with another little boy today. They each had a small tin whistle, and the back yard of Willie's home was ringing with shrill notes. Suddenly, without any warning. Willie's whistle disappeared and he began coughing violently. "Where s 00 whistle? asked w lilies companion. Willie swallowed hard several times before he said, "I thollowed it." Then, as he took a breath, a weird, muffled, whistling sound come from his midst. At this time Willie s motner came to the door to see why the boys were so quiet. Willie explained laboriously, the secreted toy protesting audibly at every breath he drew: "I jeth blew hard (toot toot) an then, an' then (toot toot) it jeth went down (toot). Oh, mamma! Kin 00 'ear it?" Mrs. Hohman slapped Willie on the back and at every slap "Toot" went the whistle, defiantly, but refused to come up. So Willie's father marched him off to the doctor, Willie, with his concealed pipe, giving a remarkable imitation of a human calliope, to the unutterable as tonishment of the passengers in the street car.

But the doctor couldn't find the whistle, although he could hear it, so he sent them to the X-ray labora tory in the Schiller building. The manager of the laboratory. Mr. Fuchs, made a skiagraph, and the whistle was found between the first and second ribs. Then the attending physi cian put a small hooked wire down Wil lie s throat and caught the toy. Willie drew a long breath, and from the im prisoned instrument came what sounded like "Whoa, Emma!" Then the whistle came out with a last despairing yell, and the chance for a new kind of automatic whistling buoy was gone. EGBERT'S FINE RELICS.

EXPECTING HIGH "WATER. A Sadden Thaw Will Causa Floods on the Upper Missouri. Omaha, March 30. Superintendents of most of the railroads in. Nebraska are in almost hourly communication with points along their lines where there is prospect of danger from high water this spring. Reports on the conditions of the riv ers are being received at short inter vals, but nothing has yet appeared to cause alarm. The ice is gorging some, and much water is finding its way out of the banks, but so far it is not dan gerous. Dynamite is being used at a number of places to blow out the ice and to open up channels, that it may float away. The feeling is that if the weather warms up gradually the streams will be able to carry off all the water and ice without trouble. On the other hand, it Is said that if it turns excessively warm on short notice, pre cipitating the melting of ice and snow, much damage may be expected to bridges and to the right of way along low ground. Old river men along the Missouri here are preparing for the highest water ever known this spring. Til El' RAISE THE MONEY. Ingenious Method Adopted at Ander son, Ind., to Secure Church Funds. Anderson, Ind., March 30. The latest and most ingenious collection scheme, somewhat after the plan of the endless chain, has been brought out in this city by the Methodists and Christians, both of whom are working toward the erec tion of $35,000 auditoriums. They call it "calendar." It Is stated by one person in each case, who as sumes the title of the year and pays S2 and selects 12 others for the months who each pay $1 and find four people who each pay 50 cents and assume the weeks of the month. They get seven people at 25 cents a piece for the days and these seven each secure 24 at ten cents each to cover the hours of the day. The minutes and seconds could also be worked on, but the chain is stopped on the hours. Each chain run this far successfully will bring in Just an even $1,000. It is much more satis factory and not so much trouble as the endless letter chain, as all of the work is done by personal canvass. RAILR0AD NEWS. The Santa Fe Will Relay Its Track in New Mexico.

Last year 40,000 tons of rails were man ufactured for the Santa Fe alone, but this year the quantity will not be as great. The Santa Fe track has been improved from year to year since the new management took charge until it is generally in excellent condition. The company will probably not furnish more than 20,000 tons of rails to the Santa Fe this year. Mr. Robinson stated that the remain der of the rails contracted for would be taken by the Colorado Midland, Denver Rio Grande, Colorado Southern and other smaller lines in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. The entire output of the company will be in 75 pound rails, this weight now be ing practically the standard. SANTA FE "COT OFF." A Direct Line May Be Built From Scanton to Osage City. A preliminary survey has been madeby Santa Fe engineers from Scranton in a direct line to Osage City, and the Santa Fe management is now considering the advisability of building a "cut off" for through trains direct from Scranton to Osage City. By cutting out Burlingame the distance would be reduced between five and six miles, and this would mean a considerable feature of time to the through trains. Burlingame Is located on a loop ex tending from Scranton to Osage City, and considerable time is lost to the through trains in having to make the distance. With the construction of a "cut off" the through trains could run direct from Scranton into Osage City, and only local trains carded to stop at Burlingame would go over the present main line. While the cost of constructing the "cut off" would be considerable, the management believes it would prove economical in the long run. While nothing has yet been done more than the preliminary survey, it is thought quite probable that the "cut off" will be built. KANSAS RAILROAD NOTES. J. H.

DEATH OF GEN. FLAGLER. I DIFFERENT IN THE NATY. A Soldier of Many Battles Passes Away. Washington, March 30. A dispatch received here from Old Point, Va., says that Brigadier General Flagler, chief of ordnance, U. S. A. .died at the Hygeia hotel at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. General Flagler was born in New York and was appointed to the military academy from that state July 1, 1856. He was gxaeluated number five in the class of 1861, and was appointed second lieutenant of ordnance. He served with credit through the war of the rebellion. His earliest military service was in con nection with the drilling of volunteers at Washington, D. C, after which he acted as aide-de-camp to Colonel Hun ter in the Manassas campaign, being en gaged in the first battle of Bull Run. He was afterwards aide-de-camp to General McDowell, in the defenses of Washington, D. C. He accompanied General Burnsides expedition to North Carolina as chief of ordnance and was engaged in the battle and capture of Roanoke island; also in the attack of Newburn, N. C the capture of Ft. Macon, the Maryland campaign with tte army of the Potomac, in the battle of South Mountain, battle of Antietam, the battle of Fredericksburg.battle of Chan ceilarsville and the battle of Gettysburg-. He was brevetted three times during the war, as captain, major and lieutenant colonel. Since the war he has served at various stations on ordnance duty and has ren dered most important service in the development of the ordnance depart ment of the army. In the west he served at Ft. Union arsenal, N. M., and San Antonio arsenal, Texas. He reached the grade of lieutenant colonel of ordnance in 1SS1, and the grade of colonel in 1390. While in com mand of the Watertown arsenal in 1891 he was promoted to brigadier general and chief of ordnance and has since served in that capacity. MAKE-UP OF THE BLUES. Kansas City Ball Team Practically Decided Upon. Kansas City, March 30. Here is the playing list of the Kansas Gity ball team: Gear, Pardee, Hastings, Eagan, Mere dith, Friend and Stricklett. It is the strongest lot of pitchers that Manager Manning ever had. To be sure.Strickiett is an unknown quantity, but unknown quantities sometimes turn out to be craekerjacks. The catching department is well represented1. We can't have Parke Wilson, but there is Jack Boyle, Billy Merritt, 'Bill' Wilson, Charlie Hausen and Manning's latest find, Berkeley, and from all accounts that Berkeley is going to be a favorite. He has had a good chance in fast company, but he may prove to be faster, if the pace is set up a notch or twt. John Ganzel on first base gives the Blues a stronger first baseman than O'Hagan, not only in fielding, but in batting and you know hits win games. Viox will hold down second bag, and you need not be told where Rony stands. Hoffmeister will cover third. It may take a few games to get onto the fact that Hoff. does not resemble Williams in looks, but just watch his playing. Shortstop is as yet unfilled, but there is a choice of three men for the place Krueger, Raymer, both youngsters who are highly spoken of, and Billy Shindle of the Brooklyn team. The outfield is not, by any means, weak. Mattie McVicker will guard the spots around the sun field, while Tuck Turner will do his gallivanting in left garden. There wili be a new man found in center, but as yet his name is un known. However, Manager Manning has several deals on foot and he may draw a big fish.

Another body has been found in the Windsor hotel ruins and sent to the morgue numbered "Body No. 27." This was the most com plete body yet found, consisting of the almost complete skeleton with portions of the head, arms and legs attached. It was the body of a woman. The office safe has been opened and the contents said to be valued at near ly $200,000 were found to be unharmed. Mr. Leland said that the safe contained many packages of valuables belonging to the guests. How a Woman Holds a Man's Affec tions. A wise and observing person stated the other day that many a wife com plains that her husband does not take her out, that she only sees him at meals, or that he makes friendships in which she has no part. Further, that she blames him for neglecting her, and thinks herself ill-used; yet, he is only following the natural instinct of human ity the fault is really hers. The easiest way a wife can hold her hus band's affection and sympathy is by Beauty, which is possessed by using the great Dr. T. Felix Gouraud's Oriental Cream, or Magical Beautifier; it will render your skin a soft pearly white ness, free from tan, pimples, freckles, moth patches, and all blemishes of the skin at the same time defies detection.

Not Enough Ships. San Francisco, Cala., March 30. The British steamer Ettrick Dale has ar rived from Hong Kong and Yokohama with a cargo for the Pacific Mail Steam ship company, but no passengers. The Ettrick Dale will take back a cargo of cetton. She reports that there is so much freight in the Orient and here for transportation to and from the United States that the steamship lines can scarcely handle it. The market for all goods in Cuba and Japan has increased td such an extent that the English are seriously alarmed over trade conditions. Charged With Libel. New York, March 30. On the com plaint of Joseph J. Little, president of the board of education of New York city, Charles and Henry Holt Co., publishers, and Nicholas Murray But ler, professor of Columbia university, were today arraigned before Judge Blanchard in general sessions on the charge of criminal libel. The Holts are the publishers of the Educational Re view, of -which Prof. Butler is the edi tor. The charge is that an alleged libel ous article on President Little appeared in the February number of the Review which was entitled "Tammany in the Saddle." The defendants were held in $500 bail and will appear for pleading on Friday. All Kinds of Packing: House Beef Is of Excellent Quality. Washington, Mar. 30. Rear Admiral Ed win Stewart, paymaster of the navy, was the first witness before the army beef in quiry board today. He stated trjat canned roast beef was one of the articles of food used by the navy and explained in detail the careful inspection that was demand ed by the department regulations. Occas ionally the beef when delivered would be found to be unsatisfactory and it would then be rejected. He estimated the average purchases of this character of food for the navy to be about 500.000 pounds a year, the purchases being made through Armour Co., Nel son Morris Co., and other firms. The canned beef was a portion of the regular navy ration, and very little of it was ever conderKned. r Major Lee asked the admiral for speci fications in the matter of rejections, but these facts he was unable to give at the time, though he thought he would be able to do so later. Rejections were always do to the fact that the grade of the beef offered was not up to the requirements, the specifications requiring the best ox beef. The marines at Guantanamo were supplied with this beef. There had been no complaint concerning it to his knowledge, either from the ma rines or from the navy. Paymaster Henry G. Colby, assistant chief of the bureau of supplies of the navy department, also testified concern ing the use of the canned roast beef in I the navy. He stated that where any questions arose as to the quality of beef it was submitted to a chemical analysis, j The navy had found that the canned beef I kept well at sea, and in some cases it was neiu train year to year. Mr. Colby had personally inspected cans opened in the triples, but the quality did not appear to be affected by the heat, .'itie meat was used for making soups and hash and was well regarded by the men in the navy. Refrigerator beef had been used by the navy only since the beginning of the Spanish war. There had been few-Josses 1 of this beef. As an illustration, he stat ed that the Celtic had recently arrived at San Franolsco with beef in good condition 1 that had been in refrigerator for eight munms. ne aid not unaerstana tnat the canned roast beef was actually roasted, but that it was simpiy cooked so as to lose none of its qualities. STEAITS CROWD ACTS. Appeal to the British Government in Interest of Peace. London, March 30. A deputation rep resenting the international peace cru sade, including the bishops of London and Rochester, Mr. William T. Stead and a number of members of parlia ment waited on A. J. Balfour, the acting minister of foreign affairs and urged that her majesty government instruct Its representatives at the czar's peace conference to effectually support all practical proposals in the direction of disarmament and arbitration. In reply, Mr. Balfour promised the mest hearty sympathy with the wishes of the delegation. Personally, he ad ded, he took a sanguine view of the possifcility of the diminution of war and he continued, there were few things he regretted more than the fact that the scheme for general arbitration between Great Britain and the United States had fallen through, although he was well convinced that with two such com munities having so much in common, the scheme, though deferred was not defeated and that general arbitration would be eventually adapted between them even if it was not generally adopt ed throughout the world. 'PHONES 5 YEARLY. No Trust or Syndicate Fixes the Bates in Stockholm. Stockholm, March 30. The most com plete telephone system in the world has Just been inaugurated in this city. This system is not in the hands of a syndi cate or a trust, but under the immedi ate control of the government. There is hardly a residence in Stock holm and the neighboring towns not connected with the central offices, which occupy 10 stories of an immense square tower in the middle of the city. The telephone tax is levied in the same manner as the water tax is lev led in the cities of the United States. It is so insignificant that the poorest wage earners can afford to have telephones in their houses, and even now every fifth house is connected with the central of fice. In the large hotels there is a tel ephone in every room connected with a sub-central in the hotel office. Butchers, grocers, shoemakers, laundries and even coal carriers and wood cutters now re ceive their orders by telephone. The system also covers cities within a hundred miles of Stockholm. Sub scribers in all the cities are charged about $5 a year for each telephone. WOOLEN TRUST FORMED. Gold Mine Right in Town. Victoria, B. C, March 30.

It is announced that the combination of the manufac turers of clay sewer pipe, firebrick chimney tops and linings and similar products is now definitely completed. The new concern will be called the Federal Sewer Pipe company and will have a capital of $25,000,000, half of which is to be 7 per cent preferred stock and half common stock. Of each class of stock $10,750,000 is to be presently issued. Over 80 per cent of the under writing has already been taken by those engaged in the industry. AMERICAN VICTORIES. United States Sends Printing Presses to England and Africa. Chicago, March 30. Another illustra tion of the victories of American manu factures is shown by a big contract placed by the Goss Printing Press com pany of this city for five of their latest straight-line perfecting printing presses to be shipped to England. These orders call for the best and most complete ma chines built by the Goss people. Another foreign order secured by this same concern is for a press to be shipped to Africa for Paul Krueger, to be used in printing the South African Republic. WHEAT OUTLOOK BAD. Discouraging Reports From All Win ter Wheat States. New York.March 30. The Commercial Advertiser prints Thoman's April crop report. It estimates the present yield of winter wheat at 84.2. On the cor responding date last year the conditions were returned at 89.6 per cent. Re turns from the six states east of the Rocky mountains. Ohio, Michigan, In diana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas are particularly discouraging showing an average condition of but 83.5 per cent as contrasted with 91.1 per cent last month and 86.6 last April. The av erage condition for the three states of California. Oregon and Washington is 89.1 per cent as compared with 90.9 per cent last month; 96.5 per cent last De cember and 90.3 per cent on April 1 last year. 0 Nearly every woman in America needs treatment at some time in her life for troubles of the generative organs.

I had my children very fast and it left me very weak. A year ago I was taken with flooding and al most died. The doctor even gave me up and wonders how I ever lived. I wrote for Mrs. Piiikham's advice at Lynn, Mass., and took her medicine and began to get well. I took several bottles of the Compound and used the Sanative Wash and can truly say that I am cured. You would hardly know me, I am feeling and looking so well. Lydia E. Pinkham 's Vegetable Com pound made me what I am. Marie Lemp, 103 2d Ave., New York City, was ad vised by her physician to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This is her letter: I have three children and suffered with falling of the womb and flooding. My physician scraped the womb, still the flooding continued and I was no better. At last he ad vised me to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Then 1 thought I would write to Mrs. Pinkham, for she could advise me better than any one if I was to take her remedies. 1 received her reply and followed all herdirections and I am very glad to send you this testimonial, for Lydia E.

It is the only medicine I have found that has done me any good. Before taking your medicine, I was all run down, tired all the time, no appetite, pains in my back and bearing-down pains, and a great sufferer during menstruation. After taking two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I felt like a new woman. I am now on my fourth bottle and all my pains have left me.

The duty of the white man is to con quer and control, probably for a couple of centuries, all the dark peoples of the world, not for his own good, but for theirs; to give them the chance of de velopment which comes with a stable and well-ordered peace; to break for ever, if such breaking be possible, that strange arrest of progress which for so j many centuries has oenumDea tneir i powers, and which leaves two-thirds of the world such hells upon earth that J if the white man realized the truth all the strength of the good would be ab sorbed in one great effort to ameliorate their condition. To Asia the world owes all the great creeds it has. yet no Asi atic untaught by a European believes ji reasonable creed; while in Africa the million? who have thought of nothing, invented nothing, built nothing and founded nothing live on more like evil children or animals with human form than like men with Intellects and souls. It la surely the duty of the white man, who has advanced so far that he is al most bewildered by the rushing multi tude of his acquirements, who has made of himself through the favor of God a restrained and self-controlling human Toeing, and who can put on at will for ny task the enchanted armorof science, which no barbarian force, however vast, may pierce, to try at least whether he annot terminate this, arrest, and set the whole race of man free to work out the destiny intended for him. We all admit that duty within our own nar row lands, and try to perform it toward our own savages, and the extension of our work, if we can extend it over the whole world, cannot but be good. Only we must perform It in the right spirit, taking it up. as Mr. Kipling sings, as the white man's burden.' seeking no profit beyond fair pay for honest work, shrinking from no accusation except that of wilful oppression, and, above all. expecting no gratitude from those whom we may help to redeem. If we fall, and we may fail yet, for we are not yet sure that our patience will hold out under the necessary self eacrifices. "the new-caught, sullen peo ples, half devil and half child." will curse us by all their gods; while, if we succeed, and we may succeed, for we are slowly succeeding at home, they will but bid us begone unthanked, per haps use their new powers, the dis cipline enforced on them, the knowledge Thy degrees poured into them, to inflict on us untold miseries. If Asia acquired Tut half our science without acquiring our character and creed, and could lead Africa as Arabs even now lead negroes, ehe could extirpate the white man, and woudl do it with the glee of an evil child as it tears a moose or crushes a butterfly into powder. Nevertheless, there is our duty clear before us, and Mr. Kipling, in this instance humbly following the Providence which is clear ing the path, and compelling us all, even against our wills, to enter on it, bids us perform it though we do but "reap the old reward, the blame of those we better, the hate of those we guard," GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Anything that is particularly silly may be usually referred to as romantic Suffering from an overloaded stom ach is worse than suffering from hun ger. A young man is never bo proud as when he is discharged and taken back again, the firm he worked for having discovered that it couldn't get along without him. An Atchison girl .works so hard all day that she is cross and surly at night and though an admirable girl, she has few friends. Her sister, who is some thing of a loafer. Is very popular. The hard working girl is generally admired for her energy, ability, and goodness, but if the neighbors have a pie to share they invite the loafing girl in to eat it in preference to the hard working girl. The case has a parallel in every neigh borhood, and the women who are pro testing against the injustice will find their arms full of reform at the start. If they had a pie to share, they would invite the best company, and not the most deserving. Everybody does it. The good company to help eat it fur nishes as much pleasure as the pie, and no one can accuse the ant of being what is known as "good company." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. He who hits the pipe must pay the piper. Too many "coming men" lack the ability te arrive. The bonds of friendship are Tery often formed of flimsy thread. The down of a peach Is preferable to the "down" of a banana skin. Always provide for the worst the best is able to provide for itself. Poverty is no disgrace, but it Is sel dom used as a testimonial of ability. Ignorance is of much less consequence than knowledge of things we don't know. The individual who is compelled to live entirely on sweets soon sours on them. It's an easy task to write a man's posthumous biography. He can't get back at you. Occasionally a young man wakes up fresh as a daisy and his freshness con tinues all day. Labor occasionally takes a. day off. but the rent keeps right on pursuing the even tenor of its way. A Kentuckian who always carries a pint bottle says it's just as easy to get hilarious on water as it Is on land. History tells us Rome was saved by the cackling of geese. Some of our poli ticians seem bent on trying to make history repeat itself. Delays are always dangerous except In St. Louis. Self-made men are scarce, but self made fools are plentiful. The flights of genius are just as apt to be downward as upward. Beauty Is but skin deep; many hand some people are inwardly deformed. Love may not make the world go round, but it makes a lot of people giddy. The average man is usually so glad to get home from a social that he's glad he went. i It's the easiest thing in the world for the average woman to tell when a man is going to propose. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the N. Y. Press. Flirtations begin on earth and don't end in heaven. Eve fell in the Garden of Eden and then got up; but Adam has been tumb ling ever since. Most women never get too old to ex pect to hear that some great man's wife Is madly jealous of her. The first few years of her son's life a mother could not be content to have him anything less than president; after ward she thanks God if he comes home nights. When a young man tenderly puts away a lock of hair to treasure forever. the hardest thing he does in middle age is trying to remember whose it is and how it got there. WHAT SHEEHAN SAW. Tells New Yorkers Bryanism Is Stronger Than Ever in the West. St. Louis. March 30. John C. Sheehan, the New York Tammany chieftain ar rived today here from Hot Springs, Ark.

Tragedies That Make the City Seem Tough ARE TRACEABLE TO IT And Caused by People Drawn by That Institution. State Printer Morgan Favors Its Removal. The Hutchinson News whose editor la W. Y. Morgan, state printer-elect, de sires to rid Hutchinson of the reforma tory. He declares it advertises the town as a tough place. The News says: The location of the reformatory at Hutchinson while it has had Its ad vantages and Is of considerable im portance, has decidedly had its disad vantages as well. Following the cases which have been tried and are to be tried in the Reno county district court it would be quite easy to come to the conclusion that securing the location of the reformatory was not a very paying investment. Hutchinson is becoming somewhat notorious for sensational criminal trials and most of these trials are directly traceable to the reforma tory. Jack Burrell and Harry Postlethwait were sent to the reformatory, the latter from Wichita. Mrs. Postlethwait and her other sons at once moved here to be near Harry and Burrel, the latter being an intimate friend of Mrs. Fostleth wait's. The family was in straightened circumstances and in a short time open ed a joint and restaurant to keep up expenses. This joint was iiter the cause and the scene of a murder. The murder caused a heavy expense to the county in the trials which followed, and impli cated a member of the Reno county bar. It was altogether one of the worst things that ever happened here, and the chief actors would probably never have been here, but for the reformatory. The case against Charlie Cook for at tempting to kill Jack Gallup will come up in the district court at the April term. It will probably cost the county a considerable sum. Cook was paroled from the reformatory here and remained in town. And greater than all else that has happened is the Moore tragedy. Mit Franklin was sent to the reformatory from Emporia. His father moved here to be near the son. Then John Moore and family came here. Mrs. Moore was a Franklin and wanted to be with the rest of the family. Moore killed his five children, burned the house over them and will be in court here next term. The Moore tragedy was read about by people in all parts of the United States and to many people Hutchinson will be remembered as the place where the father murdered his children, while the fact is that Hutchinson is a city of hap py homes and refined people. The chief drawback of the reforma tory is not the people who are inmates, but the people who follow them here, and are left on the outside. And an other drawback is that the inmates are paroled from here and many of them remain and commit new depredations. Many of the boys leave the institution and lead useful lives, but there are also many who are incurable. And so it is that Hutchinson gets ad vertised abroad as a tough place and directly on account of having the re formatory location. Whether the bene fits of the institution to the town are great enough to offset the drawbacks is a question to which there are two sides. ON SHORT ACQUAINTANCE. Couple Married at Independence on the Day of First Sight. From the Independence Reporter. A couple who had never seen each other before, met in this city Satur day and were married by Rev. J. C. Coggins at the residence of John Watts, near the Santa Fe depot. The groom was Rev. Wm. P. Evans, a Methodist minister of Ringo, I. T., 56 years of age, and the bride was Jose phine M. St. Clair of Eastport, Maine, aged 52. The preliminary work was done by advertisement and correspond ence. They were not acquaintances of Mr. Watts, but about nine months ago Dr. Banta of Ringo was married under precisely the same circumstances at Mr. Watts' house and he recommended the rlace to his friend Mr. Evans. In fact Dr. and Mrs. Banta accompanied Air. Evans here and supervised the ar rangements. NEWTON PAPER SOLD. The Kansan Purchases the Republi can of W. J. KrehbieL Newton, March 30.

SFRUILL. FAIR PLAY FOR PLAYGOERS Pittsburg Councilman Offers an Ordi nance Governing Seat Sale. Pittsburg, March 30. Dr. George H. Vaux, common councilman from the Eleventh ward, today introduced an or dinance for the protection of theater goers. Last week Dr. Vaux went to the Alvin to purchase two seats for Rich ard Mansfield's engagement. He was refused a view of the chart showing what seats had been sold, and in addi tion to having to take seats offered him he found that prices had been raised. He says he was informed the seats were good ones, but when he went to the theater he found the statement of the ticket seller was untrue. To prevent trouble of this kind. Dr. Vaux drafted an ordinance which pro vides that all theaters must exhibit charts showing what seats have been sold, and that when prices are raised notice must be published in all daily papers here in advance. Theater matiagers failing to obey the law are to be fined $50, or undergo three months' imprisonment. I N J URED BY X-RAYS. MmaMochert's Case Against a French. Doctor Heard In Court Yesterday. Paris, March 30. Some time ago a doctor who was treating Mme. Mochert, a young woman, for an affection of the thigh joint, attempted to photograph the seat of the trouble with the Ront gen rays. Mme. Mochert posed three times. The third exposure lasted over an hour, and it was subsequently no ticed that stripes appeared on the skin, which was apparently burned. This burn resulted in a wound that caused long illness, and Mme. Mochert sued the doctor for 5,000 francs damages. The case was heard yesterday. One of the witnesses. Dr. Bardet, secretary of the Societe Therapeutique, testified that burning would result in rare in stances from the use of the Rontgen rays. Everything depended on the pat ient's physical condition. He maintain ed that if the doctors were made re sponsible for such accidents they would be obliged to renounce the use of the rays. The court reserved decision.

The coast sealing season, which is now drawing to a close, promises to be the most suc cessful that the sealers have had in years. The failure during the past few years of the coast cruise, which extends from Lower Califronia to the boundaries of Behring Sea. induced most of the schooner owners to keep their schooners in port this year, only 15 or 16 out of 60 reaping the harvest that awaited them. The schooners which went south off the Carolina coast are making particularly good catches, one crew reporting having upward 1.200 skins, with prospects of more. This was considered a fairly good catch, even in the palmy days of sealing. Steamers from Alaska report great herds of seals heading for BeB ring Sea, and as a result there is con siderable activity among the sealers. adway's Pills Purely vegetable, mild and reliable.

GOUGAtt'S PLAN. Would Have a Constitutional Amend ment to Correct Trusts. Lafayette, Ind., March 30. It seems that every man interviewed acknowl edges these trusts to be more powerful than the general government, and no body has the authority to suppress them and nobody knows how to create such an authority. The helplessness of the people in the hands of these trust pro moters, as presented in these Interviews, would be pitiable if it were true, but it is not. Send me to congress and I will show the way out of this national dilem ma. Lest I may not get there I will sug gest my plan. The next congress is overwhelmingly Republican. Let the people ask and de mand at its hands se constitutional amendment prohibiting any state from granting franchise or corporate privi leges to any combination for the pur pose of controlling production, output and the price of any commodity. I hope that such an amendment to the national constitution will be made an issue in the next general election. But pardon me, I had almost forgotten that I was only a woman citizen, a non-voter, classed with "Indians, idiots, criminals and insane" in the management of po litical affairs (soon to be further gov erned by Malays and Kanakas), but as my sex must suffer the financial de privations incident to these trusts, I venture to suggest this way out to the poor, helpless "legal male minds," that are in such a hopeless condition, judging from the numerous opinions expressed. Such a constitutional amendment could be submitted next winter, and within one year therefrom it would be ratified by the states, and the people will prove mightier than the trusts. HELEN M. GOUQAR. TO GO TO ALASKA. Senator Fairbanks and Other High Joints Will Make the Trip.' Indianapolis, Ind., March 30. Senator Fairbanks, president of the American organization of the high joint commis sion, announces that he intends to make a trip to Alaska this spring.

COUNTESS RUSSELL COMING She Will Take Ellaline Terries' Place When the Latter Joins Leder er's London Forces. London, March 30. When Miss Ella line Terriss leaves the Gayety theater, which she will do shortly, she will play in a new musical piece which is to be inaugurated under the dual manage ment of George Edwardes of London aJid George Lederer of New York. Countess Russell will take the place of Miss Terriss. At the close of Coun- j tess Russell's season here she will go i over to America for a brief tour. She is i small, slim and dark, and very dainty to look upon. She has large brown eyes and hair of the same color. Her fea tures are exceedingly expressive. She always goes about with her mother, Lady Lena Scott, who was one of sev eral titled ladies who once went to Hol loway prison rather than capitulate to the force of legal argument. Lady Scott chaperons her carefully. REIGNING ENGLISH BEAUTY (From the New Tork Journal.) The relsrning beauty of England is Miss Enid Wilson. When she appeared at a recent great ball in London every eye was attracted ir resistibly to her and every beholder was struck with wonder and delight. The ball was given at the Hotel Cecil, and in aid of the Gordon Memorial college at Khartoum. Many royalties, five duch esses, three dukes, dozens of earls and all the wealth and fashion of Ixmdon attend ed. They were people accustomed to Driinant gatnerings ana to tne signt or people famed for beauty in society But when they beheld the surpassing loveliness of Miss Wilson they forgot all the beau ties they had ever seen, they forgot the conventional restraints of the ball room, and they gazed upon the fair girl with uncontrolled and infinite admiration. The ball was almost brought to a stand still by her appearance. A waltz that was in progress at the moment was forgotten. The porgeously dressed mob of princes and princesses, dukes and duchesses, lords and ladies. American women with English titles crowded around Miss Wilson. Those at the back stood on tip-toe. Miss Wil son's beauty is of the kind that makes wo men forget to envy. More than that can not be said. Enid Wilson is pronounced by artists an i ideal EnKlish beauty. She Is tall, with a figure full ot neaitn and grace. Her hair is lierht brown and so abundant it would surely rival that of Lady Godiva. She has a pure, dazzling red and white com plexion. Long lashes shade her soft hazel brown eyes, which shine with good nature and fun. The Sisters of Saint Francis, Clinton, Iowa, write under the date of January 21, 1898: About six months ago a very reverend clergyman Recommended Regan's Rheumatism Remedy to us as one of our sisters was a severe sufferer from rheumatism of over three years" duration. After she had used one bot tle of the remedy we are pleased to say she was entirely cured. We therefore cheerfully recommend this wonderful remedy to all similarly afflicted and heartily wish it the unlimited success it so richly deserves. $1 per bottle. Sold by Swift Holliday Drug Co., W.

Strong Effort Being Mado to Secure Better Trade Facilities. The contributors to the Trades excur sion fund met at the Commercial club rooms today and unanimously decided that the balance should remain in the hands of the committee to be used at some future time for the benefit of the merchants in securing better trade fa cilities. The sense of the meeting was that strong efforts should be expended to se cure equitable freight rates instead of the unjust ones now in force between the Missouri river and Topeka; and ef forts made to get better train service into and out 'of Topeka in various di rections. E. H. Crosby, as chairman of the committee, made the gratifying show ing that $366 in cash was on hand after paying all the expenses of the three ex cursions. It was voted that any contributor who desired to do so could withdraw his subscription, pro rata, if he did so with in the next two weeks. TOWNE NOT COMING.

ROUND-THE-WORLD TICKET (From the Baltimore Sun.) Members of the expedition which will go to Manila for the Johnsllopkins university will meet in Chicago tomorrow and start on their long journey. The purpose of the expedition is to study diseases preva lent in the tropics by modern methods, clinical and pathological. From Chicago the party will go to St. Paul and there take the Canadian Pacific railway. From St. Paul they will go to Vancouver and take the steamer Empress of India. Yokohama and Kobe, Japan, and Shanghai and Hong Kong, in China, will be points where stops will be made in the journey. From Hong Kong the party will go to Manila, and. after making their investigations, will return to take up the rest of the globe circling. Leaving Hong Kong, they will sail through the China sea to Singapore. thence through the Straits of Malacca to Penang, on the Malay peninsula, and out into the Indian ocean. Colombo, on the isle of Ceylon, will be a break in crossing the In dian ocean, and the party will then make for the Gulf of Aden, stopping at Aden, in Arabia, before going through the Red sea. The Suez canal will take the party from the Red sea out into the Mediterranean and thence the route will be through the Straits of Gibraltar into the North Atlan tic ocean, with London as an objective point, and from that city across the At lantic to New York and back to Balti more, completing the trip around the world. There will be five in the party, and through tickets for the trip are furnished them on starting. In ticketing such a trip the marvelous organization in which the transpofTation interests are concerned appears. The arrangements for the party were made by Mr. C. G. Osburn. Balti more agent of the Canadian Pacific rail way, and this is said to be the first time that a party of five bought trip tickets around the world. In the party will be Dr. Simon Flexner, professor of pathologi cal anatomv and resident pathologist of the Johns Hopkins hospital; Dr. L. F. Barker. associate professor of anatomy and assistant resident pathologist of Johns Hopkins hospital: Joseph M. Flint of Chi cago and Frederick P. Gay of Boston, who are medical students, and Mr. John W. Garrett of this city. WHITE ST. BERNARD DOG. (From the Denver Republican.) Empress is a thoroughbred, registered St. Bernard, and the only one of her race n Colorado tnat is almost pure write. Empress is a general pet of all the guests at the Windsor hotel and is the de light of her owner. Captain W. J. Renard, an Elk and the steward and assistant manager of the hostelry. She is 13 months old. and weighs 120 pounds. One brown spot on her back and a slight marking of that color on each ear nre all that break the monotony of the beautifully white coat of Empress. Her hair is as curly as a soubrette's and as soft as silk. Of royal English origin, a descendant of the Duke of Fife and the Princess Nina, Empress is a decUftM Bohemian. In the basement of the hotel Empress slumbers with her two old cronies, a long-eared, loud-voictd burro and a sprightly goat. They are harmonious, and in the daytime, when the weather peirmits, wander to gether around a small park in the rear of the Windsor. As Captain Renard was walking up Six teenth street with his pet the other day a fashionably dressed woman caught sight of Empress. Stopping the captain she said: "I will give you $150 this minute for that beauty." "I would not accept $500 for the "loir. She is not for sale at any price at present." said the captain. "I am negotiating with Frank Gould, one of the Gould heirs, who. I am told, has offered a large sum for a pure white St. Bernard." How toBe Happy Though Married. (From the San Francisco Examiner.) Young Mr. Goode has been married only a very short time.but or perhaps I should say therefore he had a number of theo ries as to how to be happy though mar ried. One of these was that the husband should Invariably pretend to like his wife's cooking, whether it was good or bad. One evening Mrs. Goode prepared some bis cuits. They were heavy and sorgy. and absolutely indigestible, but her better half ate heartily of them. (The sequel will show why I call him the better half.) As he finished the sixth one. he smiled across the table at his wife, and said tenderly: "These biscuits are delicious, love just like my mother used to make." "You mean thing!" exclaimed his spouse crosslv. "If I couldn't make better bis cuits than your mother makes I'd live In a boarding house." All of which goes to show that woman is. indeed, as the poet says, "uncertain, coy and hard to please." A Victim of the Fast MaiL Cincinnati, March 30. A Times-Star special from Richmond, Ind., says: St. Louis' fast mail crashed into the rear of a freight train in the yards here to day. Wm. Dunn, a telegraph operator in the caboose, was killed. The passen gers were frightened, but not injured. Cubans Cheer For Alger. Havana, March 30. The secretary of war. Gen. R. A. Alger, left Matanzas this morning for Cienfuegos. The sec retary yesterday visited the sugar plan tation of Aguacate. He was met by Maj. Gen. Wilson, military governor of the department of Matanzas. He was cheered by the people and spent the day in the city and in visiting the camps. SNOWBOUND IN A TRAIN. From the New York Journal. I have been snowed up in a Wyomint? blockade for 17 days. There were 22 passengers on the train. We ran out ol food and water and fuel. Some of us were very ill and we all suffered terri bly. Two of the passengers and I started) to walk to Cheyenne for help and were met by the relief engine. There are four women and two men left In the train. If help does not reach them In a day or so they will die. My feet are frozen and I fear they will have to be amputated. Most of the passengers are suffering with fevers or scurvy. I would rather die now than to even remember dis tinctly all that happened in those 17 terrible days. JOHN OAPLEY. "All we had was the pork and beans. "They began to get low, and then we rationed them out. "We had trouble to get any water, so we took'snow and put it in the manhole of the water tank of the engine and melted it. There'9 something queer about that snow water! the more yon drink the thirstier you get. Seems to make you sick, too; but it was that or nothing, so we drank it. Then the beans gave out. We were one whole day without a bite to eat. Then some of the men snowshoed over to a ranch a few miles away and got some bread and some more beans. "It was getting to be just like an aw ful dream. The wind howled and whoop ed all night and all day. "Feared like it was yelling at us, and telling us how helpless we were, and what it was go ing to do with us, now it had us where it wanted us. "The snow kept beating down, beat ing down. It sifted in through the win dows and drifted in under the doors. The men got out and worked like Da goes. We shovelled and shovelled, and shovelled, but, pshaw! every shovelful of snow we lifted off the track came whirling back into our faces. "Some of the men got desperate and started out. Four of 'em went together the day the rancher's beans gave out. Two had snowshoes, and two of 'em hadn't even decent shoes or overshoes they'd worn "em through trying to shovel us out. "That night we didn't try to be Jolly In the car. Every time the wind came whooping down through the cut it sounded just like some one out there in the snow calling for help. The next day one of the train hands found a poor o!l steer floundering in a drift. We killed him, and for a few days we lived high. Thenthecoalbegantogetlow. The engi neer was one of those big, good natuted fellows that never says much, but his face said a whole lot the day he took one or two of us and showed us how the coal was going. "That night, after the women were asleep, we talked it all over, and in the morning some more men started out to walk to somewhere. "One day one of the passengers went into the caboose and sat talking with one of the section hands. I noticed the section hand kept looking at him, very sharp, and saying very little. Pretty soon the section hand opened and shut his hand at me and got up and went out. I followed him. "When he got outside he stood up close to tne and said: 'Do you know what's the matter with that man?' 'No,' said I. 'What?' 'Scurvy,' said the section hand. 'How do you know?' said I. 'Been shipwrecked twice and went whaling once,' he said. 'This settles it: I'm going to walk,' and In half an hour he and most of his gang came in and told us good-by and started to walk. "The storm grew worse every day. The engineer had to use every ounce of coal he had to keep the engine alive, and we almost froze in the car. Of course we had no blankets and we all had to camp down on the floor of the car at night and make out the best we could. "The women never whimpered. They were cold and hungry and sick, and I guess they got a little scared as the snowpiled up higher and higher and there was no sign of help; but they never complained. "One morning the engineer came into the car and sat down. "His face was as white as the snow that flew past the windows. 'She's dead,' he said, and, sure enough, all the coal was gone and the engine was dead. "One of the women threw up her arms and fell down on the floor of the car like a dead person. We worked over her until she came to herself, and then we six men went into the caboose and talked things over. "We were all of us pretty sick. We couldn't have eaten the best food in the world, even if we'd had it. Three of us had the scurvy, and a man who has that keeps wondering why some one don't come and bury him. "We picked out the three strongest of us and went and bundled ourselves up and said good-by to the women. "One of the women the one who had fainted sat huddled up in a seat on the coldest side of the car. She was singing to herself and kind of smiling. "Some kind of a school children's song it was, with something about 'one, two, three, merrily," and she'd raise her arms and try to make some kind of gestures with them, same as children do when they are practising exercises. "The other women bade us goodbye all right, but one of the men burst right out crying cried just like a little boy, just sobbing and sobbing and saying. 'Oh,' over and over. "It made the other man mad to see him cry like that, and he began to abuse him and call him mean names and off he went out into the drifts. "We walked, and walked, and walked, on top of the snow sometimes we'd break through every few minutes and have to fight to get on our feet again, an i sometimes we'd go for some time and get along all right. But the wind my. how it fought us, tore at us, like a mad dog, and all the time I kept thinking, 'One, two, three, merrily, one, two.three, merrily,' over and over, to the tune the little school ma'am sang. My feet al most killed me, they hurt so, but I found out that if I sang the song, good and clear in my mind, not stopping to count the telegraph poles in between or to wonder how far we'd gone, I could keep up a good even walk. "i was getting along very well when all at once I looked up and there stood the little school ma'am right in front of me. She smiled at me and began to sing, 'One, two .three, merrily.' "I was Just going to yell to the other fellows to wait, but she faded away, and the next thing I knew I was sitting in a drift, rubbing my foot, and telling some one that was mighty sorry for me that it hurt awfully. Then Pettlgrew and Owen, the other two men, took me up between them and carried me. "I begged them to let me stay there, but they wouldn't do it, and I dropped off into quite a nice warm doze, with the little school ma'am's song ringing In my ears kind of soft and mild, and everything comfortable when all at once I woke up In the cab of an engine, with a man pouring whisky down my throat and my feet aching, before a fierce fire. "They say I'll lose both my feet. I don't seem to feel so badly about that, someway, but I do wish the doctor would give me something to keep me from trying to sing that little school ma'am's song all the time. It worries ma awfully."

The Only Hlch Grada Baking Pewder Offarad at a Hod rat Prloa. MRf Baking UiEifl Powder HONS SO COOD. DECIDEDLY NOVEL Will Be the Wedding Gown of Miss Virginia Fair. New Tork. March 30. Ever since the wedding date of Miss Virginia Fair and Mr. William K. Vanderbilt was made pub lic the young friends of the bride to be have been consumed with curiosity on the subject of what her wedding gown would be. Miss Fair has a mind of her own. She will walk to the altar next Tuesday in a costume which undoubtedly will set the fashion for other brides for some time to come. Her wedding gown was made abroad in Paris, but it by no means resembles the strictly French bridal gown, which is al ways of satin and of rather severe cut. On the contrary, this particular gown has nothing stiff or starchy about it, and not a fold of satin is in evidence. Of course, the foundation is ivory satin the richest of satin, at that cut 'with an enormously long train, but this material js entirely covered witn tine point d esprit of a creamy tint, corresponding to that of the satin. Then, instead of point lace, old cream-colored Irish lace, which is somewhat heavier in texture, is used in applique designs all over the gown. Lengthwise insertions trim the front of the skirt, the train is bordered with a deep edging and the upper part of the corsage is entirely of the lace. Another departure from convention will be noticed in the cut of the sleeve, which reaches barely to the elbow, and is partly of lace and of point d'esprit. With this exquisite gown the bride will wear a veil of tulle. FOR THE BIG FIGHT. Agreement Articles Entered Into by Fitzsimmons and Jeffries. New Tork, March 30.

The Times says: The steamer Scipio, a craft from no where, bound to nowhere, flying no flag, ownerless and crewless, is to be sold to the highest bidder at the Brooklyn navy yard by the United States government. A board has been appointed to examine the ship, which lies at the yard. The board will determine as to how to dis pose of her. The board will perform a similar duty with respect to the steam er Niagara which is also at the Brook lyn yard. This was bought by the gov ernment from the Ward line during the Spanish war. At the outbreak of hostilities, agents of this government were engaged in buying ships and war munitions in England. The beginning of actual war found some of the deals incomplete. Great Britain being a neutral power, these incomplete deals could not be pushed through that is to say, appar ently not. Soon after the beginning of hostilities a steamship In perfect trim from stem to stern, with furnace fires burning, steam up, but without a soul on board, was found adrift off the coast of Newfoundland, found by a United States ship, too, oddly enough. The crewless ship was the Scipio. She flew no flag and there was not so much as a scrap of paper to be found aboard her to indicate where she sailed from, where she was sailing to, or who owned her. Here then, was a mystery of the deep. The Scipio carried a cargo of coal, but never did such strange things come out of a cargo of coal as came from the depths of the anthracite piled in the hold. There were guns, fine modern af fairs of English make, Maxims, Hotch kiss cannon, field pieces and other ord nance, together with ammunition. Just how the Scipio came to be found adrift with such an opportune cargo by a United States ship has never heen told officially. The Scipio has been at the Brooklyn navy yard since she was picked up adrift on the high seas. DEMAND FOR OCR ENGINES. One Cause the Belay of British Manu facturers In Filling Orders. London, March 30. Inquiries as to the reasons for placing orders for locomo tives for British lines and other engi neering contracts in the United States have drawn forth the same response in every case, namely, that British firms were unable to guarantee delivery in the required time. The English agents of the Egyptian government were com pelled to order the Atbara bridge and the first batch of Soudan locomotives from the United States. All British firms are greatly in ar rears with their work owing to the re cent engineering dispute. The Egyp tian government was lately compelled to wait four months for a little 31-ton bridge that it had ordered in England. No Vermont Maple Sugar. Chester, Vt., March 30.

Horses Being: Stolen Nightly and No Trace of the Thieves. Horse thieves have been at work for a week and several horses from Topeka and the country have been stolen. Last night a horse, buggy and harness were stolen from the barn of T. G. Hyatt at 1334 North Kansas avenue. The fact that so many horses have been stolen gives the officers the belief that it is the work of an organized gang of horse thieves but so far no trace of the gang or of any of the stolen horses has been found.

HE SQUEEZED HER HANDS And Now She Asks $15,000 in Damages. Philadelphia, Pa., March 30. Miss Edith Boone of this city has begun a suit for $15,000 damages against Frederick R. Far row, a young drug clerk, for squeezing her hands so violently that the smaller bone In one of them was broken and both hands were rendered practically useless. Her doctor says necrosis may necessitate the amputation of one hand. The squeezing was done a year ago, when Farrow had a situation in the store under the rooms where Miss Boone's family lived, and where he took his meals. Of the singular case the fair plaintiff today said "Just after dinner, on March 11 l""? Fred, whom we had always liked, seized both of my hands and jokinglv began to squeeze them. It hurt terriblv and I asked him to let go, but he would not. He pressed my hands very hard for five min utes. I cried and begged him to stop. A few hours afterward my right wrist swelled awfully and turned purple. I was treated at the Polyclinic hospital, but both of my hands are useless, as you see They are getting worse, too." "I was only in fun." said Farrow. In ex- f Sanation. "My case is in the hands of a awyer." A MISPLACED HEART. Skiagraph Taken of Organ of Indiana Man Showing It to Be on the Wrong Side.
