TIN PLATE SHUT DOWN- "Will Not Extend to All Mills of the Amalgamated Association. Pittsburg, Fa., June 30. All the an nual scales of the Amalgamated Asso ciation of Iron. Steel and Tin Plate workers of the United States expire at midn'ght tonight and if operations are to continue with the present employes the new schedule of wages prepared by the Amalugamated convention at Detroit, must be accepted before thot time. However the situation turns out in the end, it is certain that not all of the mills will be concerned in a stoppage of operations. A number of manufacturers have already states.) their intention to sign the scale, and the workers believe that before mid night others who have not made any declaration, will accept the terms and renew relations with the organization. From the attitude taken by some of the manufacturers it is sure that some of the mills will not work after today with their present employes. At some of them the acahe of the Vmalagated association has been paid and the man ufacturers are willing to pay the new rates but with the association itself Ihey will have nothing to do. This may cause trouble, but as work is so plenti ful. It is thought the men will quiotly ft-ck other employment, as they did at the Moorehead plant where the firm refused to recognize the organization find discharging the puddlers, replacing them "with negroes. Secretary John Williams of the Amal pattd association was sanguine to day that matters would come out all right, but was not bound by predictions or promises. He said the association Is on a sure basis, especially in the Pittsburg dis l rict and that the lodges which had :itne to pieces during the past few years had been reorganized and would present the iron scale to their employers in dividually. Continuance of operations will not depend upon single plants as Jieretofore. when the scale was accepted or rejected in conference, for all mills. Work Vlll continue at the mills which accept. the scale and labor will cease at places which refuse recognition. This programme, he said,-would apply -to all mills, whether now known under the name of union plants or non-union. .Mills that are non-union today will eppear as union plants tomorrow after the scale has been presented. Secretary Williams said the scale would be offered at almost every mill, but exactly how many he declines to Ftate. He said that the association had been assured by a number of manufac turers some of whom have not been tinion manufacturers either that they would sign the scale and from that he believes the situation will be settled without trouble. In the matter of tin plate factories, a great shutdown would take place tonight pending the action of the lodges on the scale rejected by the manufacturers. POPE IS PROSTRATED.

Worchester Says Kansas Man Is Un truthful. Chicago, 111., June 30. Dean C. "Wor cester, member of the Philippine com mission today cabled the Times-Herald denying reports that Filipino prisoners were shot by order of American officers. This was in response to a cable inquiry sent by H. H. Kohlsaat, as follows: "Worcester, Manila: Charles Brenner, Minneapolis, Kansas, writes home: Company 1 had four prisoners and did not know what to do with them. They asked Captain Bishop what to do. He said 'You know orders," and four na tives fell dead." Cable the truth. Kohl saat." Commissioner Worcester's answer follows: "Manila, June 28, 1899. Editor Times Herald, Chicago: The original statement of Brenner's untrue. Brenner's charge was promptly investigated by the mili tary authorities here. "Xo facts were ascertained to support the charge at the time of first inquiry, but the investigation has been renewed and Is being prosecuted vigorously and extensively. This investigation has not yet been completed. "Brenners' charge has some sem blance of truth for the reason that it is now believed that two prisoners were shot in the heat of battle for refusing to pass to the rear when ordered to do so. "This matter is being probed to the bottom. It is an isolated case. "The inhabitants of the towns recent ly captured had been maltreated, rob bed and left destitute by the insurgents. "The natives rejoice at the arrival of the Americans troops, who never burn their homes nor loot their property and who feed the hungry. "The inhabitants are resuming their ordinary occupations arid ready to co operate with us. "The wounded Insurgents are brought to Manila, where they receive the same care and attention as our own wounded. "WORCESTER." A WAY OUT- Of the Transraal Trouble Said to Have Been Found. London, June 30. The Digger News, the Boer organ in London prints a dis patch from Johannesburg, today an nouncing on reliable authority that the Volksraad will be asked on Monday to confirm an arrangement made by the executive council, acceptable to the British high commissioner. Sir Alfred Milner, and the British government. It is believed the arrangement grants a retrorespective franchise to L'itlanders resident in the Transvaal before 1S90, who will be immediately admitted to burghershlp with other modifications In the naturalization laws. MR. C01E FIRM. Auditor Will Not Issue Vouchers to Fay For Asylum Site. The Parsons people have been thrown into another spasm by the announce ment by Grant Hornaday, president of the state board of charities, that the board will take no action concern ing the asylum until the attorney gen eral renders an opinion 'upon the legal complications which have arisen. Mr. Hornaday said: "No action will be taken by the board, although, the matter by the law is left in our hands, unvr we have some reasonable authority for so doing. The law seems not to be plain and the members of the board do not care to assume the responsibility for the errors of the legislature, neither do we care to take chances on expend ing money without authority or law." One of the Parsons papers are shriek ing about the "idiocy of the report that the law does not authorize the auditor to issue warrants to buy the land." For the information of that paper it is only necessary to say that a reading of the law will convince the most skep tical person that there Is no authority conferred upon the auditor in this mat ter. The method of expending the money for the buildings Is outlined but not a single word of authority is con ferred upon any person to expend the money for the land. The state auditor has examined the law himself and says: "I will not is sue vouchers for the payment of the purchase price of the land. The law does not authorize me to do so." PAN A SETTLES DOWN. Every Imported Negro Miner Has Left the Town. Springfield, III.. June 30. Governor Tan ner has contracted with the Big Four and Illinois Central railroads to take the negro non-union miners at Pana out of the state and yesterday afternoon the Big Four took two coach loads, or 120 men, women and children, while last night the Illinois Central took those remaining, .bout 200 in number. The dest itinatlons ure un known. Asrents of the four coal companies against which the union miners aie 'strik ing in Missouri, Kansas and the Indian Territory employed 2:i0 of the negroes at Par.a and took them away on a special tr;-in. As the train moved away they tired a volley into the oftice and mine buildings of the Pana Coal company. Being thus rid of the non-union negroes, and the state militia having been with drawn earlier in the week, Pana is the quietest that it has been since the strike began over a year ago. GEN. U. O. OTIS EN ROUTE. Stops In Chicago On His Way to Washington to Ba Discharged. Chicago, June 30 General Harrison Grey Otis of Los Angeles. Cal., who was with the Kighth army corps at Manila, and who saw nearly a year's fighting around that city, arrived in Chicago last night enroute for Washington. He stopped at the Palmer House and will remain in the city until tonight before proceeding eastward. His visit to Wash ington will mark his muster out of the volunteer service. General Otis discussed the situation in the Philippines at considerable length and took the hopeful view that with the additional troops to be furnished the war would be terminated before the next rainy season sets in. Yellow Fever at Salvador. Washington, June 30. The United States consul at Salvador informs the state department that yellow fever has made its appearance there. Tod Sloan Pays Up. London, June 30.

Davis Will Start Tomorrow To Make the Trip In an Auto mobile Carriage. FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN Route Will Lie Through Chi cago and Omaha. New York, June 30. Across the con tinent in an automobile! Under the auspices of the New "Fork Herald Mr. and Mrs. John D. Davis will start from this city in a motor car riage bound for San Francisco Satur day, July 1. It will be the longest au tomobile run on record, and besides re quiring endurance, skill and nerve, it will be a test of an American-made, self-propelling vehicle over the worst of American roads. Nothing to compare with the trip has ever been attempted in this country, where the sport termed "antomobile" Is yet in its infancy. In Europe the long est run that has been made was 621 miles, over roads equal to the parkways in American cities. To go from ocean to ocean Mr. Davis will travel about 3,700 miles. He will find some good stretches of road in the east and some fair roads in the middle west, but he will have to follow stage coach routes through the Rocky Moun tains and cattle trails used by the '49ers across the plains. WILL HAVE TO FORD RIVERS. He will have rivers to ford and rocky ravines to traverse that may play the mischief with pneumatic tires. The progress of Mr. Davis and his wife in their automobile will be reported in the New York Herald from day to day, and the nature of the roads across the country described. If Mr. Davis suc ceeds in reaching his destination ac cording to programme he believes that his trip will demonstrate t he-possibilities of long-distance touring, even in the absence of good roads, and should be a strong argument in favor of the Improvement of main highways of this country. Airs. Davis will have the dis tinction of being the first woman to make a long tour in a motor carriage. Air. Davis is an enthusiast on the subject of automobiles. He recently purchased what is described by the makers as a "continental touring cart." It has been built in Stamford. Conn., by the National Motor company spec ially for the trip to San Francisco. Its parts are stronger than In the same type of vehicle made for use on good roads, and everything has been done to insure safety and comfort for so long a journey. A gasoline motor con cealed in the box beneath the seat fur nishes the power. Sufficient fuel can be carried to run 240 miles. Mr. Davis expects to have no difficulty in replen ishing the supply of gasoline in the cit ies and more important towns through which he will pass. GEARS OF THE MACHINE. The carriage has three gears, giving three different speeds of ten. twenty five and thirty-five miles an hour. It is said to be able to climb a 25 per cent grade at the rate of five miles an hour. Mr. Davis expects to maintain an aver ags speed of fifteen miles an hour for the entire distance, doing better in the east than west cf the Mississippi. The start will be made frjm in front of the Herald building in this city and the finish will be at the San Francisco Call building. In choosing the route good roads have been the first consider ation, and so little is known here of the condition of roads west of Denver that Mr. Davis may change his plans when he reaches the Rockies. From this city he will run up the Hudson val ley to Aibany, where the road turns to the westward, following the course of the Mohawk river and passing through Utica, Syracuse and Rochester. The route then leads around the south shore of Lake Erie through Cleveland and Toledo and across Indiana to South Bend and thence to Chicago. Leaving Chicago, the route will be across the prairies to the Mississippi river at Davenport and due west to Des Moines. The Missouri river will be crossed at Omaha, and the course will be southwest through Nebraska and on to Denver. HARD MOUNTAIN TRAVELING. Mr. Davis expects to take the pass near Boulder, Colo., and work through the mountains, going to the north of the Great American Desert, and turning south after passing Palisade, Nev. Cal ifornia will be entered beyond Reno, and the road will pass through Sacra mento and on to San Francisco. According to the United States postal guide, the shortest rail route from New York to San Francisco is 3.250 miles. By wagen road the distance is at least 10 per cent greater. A cyclometer attached to the automobile will record the actual distance traveled. It is the intention of Mr. Davis to make an early morning start each day, rest at mid-day, and run again in the late afternoon and early evening. Ac commodations will be sought at hotels and road inns until the plains are reach ed, when Mr. and Mrs. Davis will put up at ranches over night. In the moun tains a tent may be used for camping out, in case it is iouna mat roaunuuses are lacking. Good road maps of the League of American Wheelmen will be consulted in all states in which they have been issued. Mr. Davis has had some experience on the plains, but with all of his efforts to gather information concerning the roads, he admit that for a long stretch in the far west they are an unknown quan tity to him. He is determined, however, to get through to the coast in the short est possible running time, and is con fident of arriving there early in August. HOW IT STARTED. Report of Gen. Anderson on Begin ning: of Hostilities. Washington, June 30. The raport of Major General Thomas M. Anderson, commanding the first division of the Eighth army corps during the first bat tles with the insurgents in the Philip pines, was made public at the war de partment yesterday. It is dated February 16 and relates mainly to the operations of February 5. The report in part is as follows: A line of delimination had ben agreed upon between the permanent command er and the insurgent of the Filipino authorities. Finding that we did not hold our line of delimination, the Fili pino military forces advanced beyond this line, and began to throw up a for midable line of entrenchments. They also constructed other entrenchments. As the insurgents saw their formidable works approaching completion they be came more insolent day by day and finally did everything they could in in solence and insults to provoke us to be gin the conflict. As they were permit ted to go and come through our lines at will, they knew just what troops we had, where they were located and that' we were making no visible preparations for defense. It seems proper to make these statements in order to justify the assertion that no troops ever behaved better under intense provocation, show ing excellent discipline and self-control. The first brigade of this division was under Brigadier General Chas. King. The second brigade was tinder Brig adier General Samuel Ovenshine. The only preparations which could be made for battle, in view of order to stand on the defensive were the assign ment of different organizations to places on the firing line and the selection of positions for the artillery. Nevertheless, as an attack from the front might be followed by an uprising in the city, this procrastination placed the army under a. great disadvantage. At 3:40 a. m., on the morning of the fifth the Insurgents opened fire on block house No. 11, with Mauser rifles. I had just ridden up to my headquarters in the city, from which I had telegraphic communication with every part of my command. I first telegraphed corps headquarters for permission to take the offensive when it became light enough to do so. At 7 o'clock I directed Gen. Ovenshine to open artillery fire on block house 14 and the wood nearby and to be prepared to drive the enemy from the Malate front, and if they yielded easily to turn to the left with part of his command and sweep the enemy from his entire front. If successful, to be ready to reinforce King's right and turn the left on the insurgent force operat ing from Santa Ana. This project was not carried out until later in the day, as permission was not given to assume the offensive until 8 o'clock. In the meantime the iiring on King's became heavier as the day advanced. At last, at 8 o'clock, a telegram came from Major General Otis, authorizing an advance if not made too far. X went at once to Battery Knoll, taking with me the Wyoming battalion. Finding there three companies of Californians, I placed these seven companies under the command of Col. Smith of the First California and directed him to deploy and advance in line with the rest of King's brigade, substituting this for the intended co-operation of Ovenshine. Gen. King was present and was order ed to advance as soon as Smith de ployed. These officers received this or der with delight, and their troops with enthusiasm. The movement began at 8:20 a. m. with a rush over the creek in our front; a cheer and rattling vol leys as the whole line advanced, not by rushes, but with a rush. The insurgent line fell back before our advance, fight ing, however, with spirit. At the same time, the California bat talion charged and drove the enemy out of Santa Ana, driving them from stone walls and convents, churches and houses, fighting their way through blazing bamboo huts from which the natives were firing. Brigadier General Ovenshine, com manding the second brigade, had the North Dakota regiment under Lieuten ant Colonel Truemcj-., occupying the other Spanish trenches from Fort Mal ate on the bay to an almost impassa ble swamp which divided his line into two sections. At about 10 o'clock Oven shine ordered an advance. The North Dakota's drove the enemy from their front back to the Carmelite convent; Major Potter, with Matlles battalion. Fourteenth infantry, advanced through the woods. After a desperate fight the enemy were driven out.but not without inflicting serious loss upon us. Hearing of the successful advance of the North Dakota's, I telegraphed Gen. Ovenshine to carry oui the project I had arranged with him and attempt to roll up the enemy by a movement from right to left. As there was a long de lay in carrying out this order, I repeat ed several times by telegraph and aides were sent with oral orders. It was at last found that he was under a false impression that he had received other orders from the corps commander. When this misapprehension was remov ed he made the movement with com plete success;. The coolness, energy and bravery of the officers and men of this division are worthy of the highest considera tion. Beginning on the left, the Idaho regiment under Major Figgins did splendid service. Gen. McConville, who served under my command in the war of the rebel lion, was killed leading his battalion, like the brave and faithful officer that he was. Captain Whittington is espec ially commended by his brigade com mander. The Washington regiment under Col onel Wholley, received its baptism of fire. Its men fought like veterans. From the California regiment I "expect ed excellent service. Colonel James E. Smith showed the very best qualities of a volunteer officer. His services in every position in which he has been placed have been most valuable and (ef ficient. I cordially recommended him as a brigadier general of volunteer. Major Sime of the same regiment prov ed he is a natural born soldier. He is not only brave, but cool and discreet. Captain Haan, lieutenant third artil lery, in command of the engineer com pany, showed special efficiency. The Wyoming battalion, although not well handled at first, when it got into action showed the bravery I have seen before in Wyoming men. In the Second brigade the North Da kotas made a dashing charge. The part of the Fourth cavalry under fire fought as well as they always have in their many battles. The fighting of the Four teenth infantry under trying surround ings in which they were placed was lit tle less than heroic; certainly it was most effective. They were well led by Major Potter, Cr.ptain John Murphy, a well tried veteran and other efficient company officers, Matile, Eastman, Lasseigne, Biddle and in fact all pres ent, including Captains Martin and Krauthoff, who although cn staff duty went to the front with their own regi ment, perform ng excellent service. Captain Dyer, Sixth artillery, directed the artillery operations for me with rare skill and judgment. Lieutenant Scott managed the platoon under his command In a most satisfactory man ner. Lieutenant Hawthorne, in com mand of the battery of mountain guns (Astor battery) gave proof of rare abiii ty. To the skill, energy and bravery of our two brigade commanders. Brigadier General King and Brigadier General Samuel Ovenshine, the credit of the success is largely due. I am grateful to them for their energetic and loyal support. The medical department of the divis ion, in its chief surgeon. Major H. W. Cardwell, did everything that skill and energy could do in the care of the wounded, extending their aid also to the wounded Filipinos. The division staff was with me at the front and I am indebted to Its members for patient, energetic and most efficient service. AHEAD iSJJSUAL. Kansas Has Largest Zinc Mine in the World. It CoTers an Area of Ten Square Miles. GROWING INDUSTRY. How the Lead and Zinc Depos its Are Worked. Talue of Two Produced in 1898 Was Oyer $2,000,000. Kansas has the largest lead and zinc mine in the world. It is located In Cherokee county. The camp covers an area of more than ten square miles, and produced last year, zinc valued at $1,994,235.55; lead, valued at $352,798.45. The total output since 18S6 amounted to $14,275,655.95. These facts are shown In the sum mary of a report upon this Industry prepared by the state labor commission er's department. The total number of mines in the dis trict is 72. The total cost is $488,300 an average of $6,784, for each plant, the total capacity of all of them being an average of 105.3 tons for each twelve hour shift. In January, 1897, the price of zinc ore was $21.50; in January, 189S, $23. In De cember, 1897, the price was $21.25: in December, 189S, it reached $34. The average for 1897 was $22.25, for 1S98, $28.15. The average price for lead in 1897 was $21.40; in 183 it averaged $22.30. The value of the lead ore produced in Kansas during recent years was as follows: 1SS6 762,474.38 1887 784,604.98 18S8 974,455.00 1589 074.455.00 1590 674.701.28 1891 636,373.83 1892 778.140.92 1893 667.103.42 1894 686,051.61 3 895 1,295.340.75 1S36 1.851,837.73 1S97 2.034.988.00 1898 2.347,029.00 The total value of this production was $14,275,655.95. The zinc production for the same period amounts to l,O0a,196.S50 pounds. The value for the various years was as follows: 1886 5S7.708.00 1887 623,105.00 1888 701,211.00 1889 790,800.00 1890 498,525.00 1891 454,102.00 1S92 476,237.78 1892 471,789.00 1894 490.257.00 1895 812,792.00 1896 1,401,307.83 1897 1.419,261.64 189S 1,994.230.55 In 1898 the zinc production decreased 1,401,300 pounds, but the total output for the year marketed for $574,968.90 above that of 1S97, owing to the increase in prices. The lead output decreased in 1S9S, compared with the preceding year, 13, 457,880 pounds. The value of this out put was $262,927.90 less than the year previous. "The methods and plans of mining," this report will say, "have changed radically during the past few years. In the shallow mining then in vogue steam followed the more primitive methods. But little capital was re quired to operate. Now capital has stepped in. The windlass and horse hoister have given away to concentra tive plants with capacity to crush and clean 100 tons or more of mineral each day. "Deeper mining is now being done, many mines being operated at a depth of from 100 to 150 feet. This plan has been developing larger bodies of min eral than were ever before found." For many years the products of these mines have been marketed at a price concerning which the producers had nothing to say. Realizing that there was in this an injustice because the spelter or finished product of the ore was constantly changing, the Missouri and Kansas Zinc Producers' association was formed for the purpose of procur ing for their ore a price based upon the market piice of spelter. By this means the producers hope to make their busi ness more prosperous. LANDIS MIFFED. Said to Be a Coldness Between War den and Sis Successor. Politicians are discussing the shabby treatment which they claim Harry Lan dls has been giving J. B. Tomlinson, who was appointed to succeed Landis as warden of the penitentiary. Ordinar ily the politicians have had a pleasant word for Landis but they are changing their positions. The change is based on the following story: Tomlinson recently visited the penitentiary and was sitting in the office of the institution talking business to T. C. Ballinger and John Gilmore, mem bers of the board of directors. Warden Landis entered the room and informed Ballinger and Gilmore that supper was ready for them. Mr. Tomlinson was ignored completely. The new warden was afterwards told by the chaplain tinder Warden Landis that the warden had said he wanted Tomlinson to stay away from the penitentiary until it was time for 4iim to take charge. Yet, Mr. Tomlinson then sent Warden Landis word that if he found it inconvenient to move at once he could occupy the house for the warden for a time at least as Mr. Tomlinson did not expect to move his family to the prison at this time. The attitude of Landis toward Tom linson is creating much talk among the politicians who insist that they have never before believed Landis would be guilty of anything small. Tomlinson has been staying at a hotel in Leaven worth pending the transfer of the prison to him which takes place Saturday. NEED Or REFORM. Eoom on Main Floor of Stats House Used to Store Old Tools. Thomas Stanley, the superintendent of the state house grounds, keeps the state house wheelbarrows on expensive ly carpeted floors when not in use on the grounds. The superintendent has an office on the main floor of the state house. It is carpeted and is also near the main entrance on the east. In this room where people pass daily in large num bers old, red wheelbarrows stand on the carpet. Around them is a pile of stakes and plunder which have no place on that floor of the building. Down stairs there are plenty of rooms for stor ing rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows, plows, mowing machines and similar parapher nalia, ar.d the executive council will be requested by one of the state officers to have Mr. Stanley institute a reform. Just why any man should desire to turn the first floor of the state house into an implement storehouse is some thing which can not be understood by the state officers. WILIi BE A GOOD BOY. An Indian Slakes Governor Stanley a Promise. Buck Mancrief, a full blood Choctaw, has applied to Governor Stanley for a pardon from the state penitentiary. Mancrief promises the governor that he will become an honest and upright citizen, although, he says, "I have been a bady boy." He was convicted of grand larceny. The Indian is anxious to get out of prison because the allotment of lands is now being made in the territory and un less he is released within the next six months he will lose his rights to land. BEEKffljDEAD. Expires Suddenly After Retir ing For the Night. Kansas City, Mo., June 30. A special to the Star from Arkansas City, Kan., says: Ex -State Representative J. V. Beek man is dead here. Last night about 10:45 May Miller, the proprietress of a room- V. BEEKMAN. ing house, notified the police that Judge I'cekman was dead at her house. She stated that at about 4 o'clock Beekman came to her house and asked for a room, and requested her to call him at 10 o'clock. At the time -stated- she went to call Beekman and found him dead. Be.kman came h-?re about ten years ago from Lincoln, III., and is well known In Logan and Tasewell counties of that state. He was a very prominent and successful lawyer and had served or.e term in the Kansas legislature. Mr. Beekman since 1895 has been one of the conspicuous men in Kansas. He came to the Republican legislature of that year comparatively unknown out side of his own county. Like Bryan at Chicago his opportunity came in a speech. One day on the floor of the house he made one of the most elo quent speeches ever heard there. It was delivered in a good voice well mod ulated; was clear cut and at once at tracted the attention of the state. From that day until the close of the session he grew in strength and became one of the leaders of the house. He was a generous man and was devoted to his friends. If there is a man in Kansas who can say that Beekman, during the few years cf his political activity did not "tote fair" on all propositions, he has not yet made this fact known to the public. Air. Beekman was talked of for con gress in the Third district but was pre vented from entering the race, by his solicitous friends, who realized that he was walking in a pathway which would lead to ruin. He was once a minister of the gospel in the Christian church. He came to Kansas after the liquor habit had gained a hold on him, re formed and built up a successful law practice. He took to drink again and only a few years ago took the Keeley cure. Things went all well for a time but he has since diverged from the straight and narrow path. Frequent and protracted debauches in Topeka and Kansas City, were followed by similar experiences at his home In Ar kansas City. Only recently he engaged in a street fight and was arrested and fined in police court. He was a physi cal and mental wreck from the one cause liquor. His natural ability was destroyed and death found him in a place he would a few years ago have scorned. There are few places of prominence in Kansas which have not sought Mr. Beekman for public addresses. He was an old soldier and his patriotic speeches were stirring in the extreme. He at times, in his speeches, approached bril liancy, and was good for a first-class talk at any time. He spoke extem poraneously, largely, which is in itself an indication of his power. Mr. Beekman was a good friend to his friends and despite his weakness died serene in the confidence and good will of thousands of people. METmTSHOTS Pana Colored Miners Get Into More Trouble.

LOOKS LIKE COERCION. Mr. Billard Trying to Force Lo cation In City Park. Effort Made to Inveigle Mr. Kuehne Into the Scheme. His Colleagues Are Kept In the Dark. Mr. J. Bilious Billard, manager of the Topeka injunction factory has not dis closed the names of his assistants. They are supposed to be hiding in the rushes along the Kansas river "waiting for the clouds to roll by." The wrath of tha progressive people of Topeka is on them; but it is due everybody concerned to say that the public has its eagle eye on Mr. Billard, the arch conspirator and insti gator of the plot and is inclined to be lieve that there are few people In the city who would lend their influence to such a scheme. There is something mysterious about the whole matter which forces some of those interested to think that the pro ceedings are inspired by a desire to in fluence the location of the new city hall. Mr. Otto Kuehne, who has a reputa tion as a wide awake and public spirited citizen, gave the following interesting facts today which may furnish the flimsy and insecure foundation for tha Injunction: "I want it distinctly understood that I have nothing whatever to do with this injunction and I will have nothing to do with it," said Mr. Kuehne. "Sir. Billard talked to me one day not long ago. He asked me if I would like to have the auditorium built in the city park arid I told hirn that I had been a supporter of that plan from the first. "He then asked me if I would be will ing to give $200 to have the auditorium put in the city park. I told him that I would but that it was no use to talk about it now as I did not see how it could be done. "He said I should leave that to him. and nothing whatever was said about an injunction and I had do thought of anything of the kind. I will have noth ing to do with it." Mr. Billard will find that coercion will not accomplish results. The people have voted on this question and by a majority of nearly three to one gave the city couneil instructions which they can not disregard. Topeka wants a city hall and is goinar to have it. The man who gets in the way of the band wagon of progress wilt be run over. The vehicle can not be stopped. At 2 o'clock today the injunction pa pers had not been filed. There is no indication that the suit has been declar ed off and the attorneys will probably file the papers this afternoon or on Saturday. Mayor Drew, City Attorney Bird and others who are entrusted with the man agement of the enterprise are ready for the fight and the enemies of city devel opment will find that the people will not be frightened by any shape that springs out of the bushes crying "boo." Mayor Drew said today: "This pro ceeding may delay things a short time, but I hope that it may be disposed of as soon as possible. The council knows what the people want and there is no sympathy for those who are not ready to accede to the spoken sentiment of the people." Councilman W. S. Chaney said: "I do not suppose the suit will have any other effect except to delay the project. I have confidence in the result and hope that we can go right on and build the city hall as the people directed and without interference. Councilman James Warner said: "I call this pretty small business and I am unable to understand why any one should take such a step. We have not yet selected a site and I do not believe that any of us will stop until we are compelled to. The people will get what they want if we are able to give it to them." City Attorney Bird said: "I am ready for the fight. My only wish is that the case may be disposed of as soon as pos sible so as not to interfere with the active work. "I shall ask the court to hear the case at once, anil I believe that in view of all the facta the court will grant our re quest. I am ready right now to argue the questions. "I believe that the injunction can be knocked out." President R. S. Brigham of the Com mercial club said: "1 suppose that wa must expect this kind of opposition. I am very sorry, however, that any member of the Commercial club should have any thing to do with it. for our organization has worked hard for the auditorium." G. C. Clemens, one of the attorneys for Mr. Billard, said: "I seem to be in some thing of a muss about this business. I am perfectly willing to take tht- money, but I don't want any of the blame.'' It would be a good thing for the legal profession if attorneys would refuse to take cases which are aimed at the welfare and progression of the city. MRS. M 'KIN LEI' 1S1PR0VES.

TENEMENTS GROW WORSE Building Reform Seems to Go Back ward In New York City. New York, June 30. The buildings be ing erected in the metropolis today are far worse from a sanitary standpoint than those of 30 years ago. By this is meant the tenement houses, where four fifths of the population of this great city live. Strange, but nevertheless true, on the teeming east side large families dwell in one little room with scarcely enough space to turn around. The one plan in vogue seems to be to make them as high and compact as possible. No attention is given to ven tilation or comforts of the poor, who by force of circumstances are compelled to occupy them. Rents are the all-absorbing topic with the landlord. He dreams and talks of nothing else, whle his ten ants grow thin and weak. But now there are to be reforms for the roof dweller rigorous ones. too. The Charity Organization society has been touched by the shocking conditions prevalent in the tenement districts. It has just presented the drafts of 15 dif ferent ordinances to the city authorities which will tend to greatly alleviate the suffering. Every conceivable point has been thoroughly covered and there is a strong possibility that the double-decker, dumbbell tenement will soon be abolish-ed: at least, no more will be erected and the thousands in existence mR be altered so that the occupants will have opportunity to bathe at home. The long, dark hallways will be lighted and made more cheerful. The society is rather modest in its demands for the cleanliness of the tenement dweller, and only ask that one bath tub for every 20 families be supplied. $22.50.

Six and a Half Lengths in a Four Mile 'Course. Official Time 20 Minutes and 52 1-2 Seconds. New London, Conn., June 30. Har vard won all of the boat races yesterday three victories over Yale in three hours and the western sky glowed crimson last evening when the Harvard 'varsity crew pulled over the finish line six and a half lengths ahead of Yale. After eight years of defeat, the students of Cambridge are tastng the sweets of success. Harvard's university eight won from Yale over a four mile course by six and a half lengths in 20 minutes, 62 sec onds. Harvard's freshmen eight won from Yale over a two mile course by two and a half lengths in nine minutes, 33V4 sec onds. Harvard's substitute four won from Yale over a two mile course by six lengths in ten minutes and fifty-one seconds. The Harvard crews rowed a modifica tion of the English stroke, coupled with some features, of the stroke pulled by Wisconsin and Coach M'Conville of "Wisconsin who saw the race, said: "If Harvard's crew in today's form had been at Poughkeepsie I am afraid they would have given us all a hustle for first place." Yale has greatly modified the Cook stroke and the boat did not go as it did when the famous coach was there. The races were rowed in almost ideal water and wind and clear skies. The course was badly policed, boats setting into the lane and steamers kick ing up swells after the race had started. Harvard in the 'varsity race very nearly collided with a number of small boats at the finish and a heavy swell impeded Yale. The 'varsity race was prettily rowed, but the defeat was crushing. Yale, however, rowed gamely to the finish, and neither crew showed signs of dis tress. The contest between the substitutes constituting the 'varsity fours, was, like the 'varsity eight, a procession, with Harvard six full lengths ahead at the finish. The freshmen effort was a mighty and splendid one up to the last eighth of a mile, when Harvard's su perior staying powers coupled with an unfortunate obstruction of the course of the Yale youngsters by a large steamer worked for Harvard's advan tage and sent the men of Harvard across the line two lengths ahead of Yale. Both of these races were postponed from the forenoon and were rowed about an hour after they had been scheduled for the afternoon. There was little or no betting. About a Quarter past six the Yale 'varsity crew left the float at Broadway closely followed by the oarsmen of Harvard from Redtop. Ten minutes later the men had re ceived their instructions from the ref eree's yacht and had backed into their positions at the start and, were await ing for the word. With extreme caution Referee Meikel ham assured himself that both crews were ready, and with the last warning: "Are you ready?" fired the pistol shot which sent the two crews off in the big race of the day. The water was as calm and placid as an inland lake. The crews rowed as us ual in flagged lines, the Blue occupying the eastern course and the Crimson the western. Yale caught the water first, but Har vard was a close second and the two eights started out on their long journey, practically on even terms. The New Haven crew hit up a stroke of 37 to the minute, the men from Cambridge pull ing beautifully at 36. Harvard contin ued rowing at 36, and Yale had dropped her clip to the same figure, and with perfect rythm the two crews fell into strokes at unison. The eighteen brown backs came forward and backward to gether. The reach, the catch, the heave and the recovery were simultaneous in both shells, and as the two craft sped on with noses and rudders exactly even they looked as if they might have been mechanically connected and propelled by identical machinery. Just before the first half mile was reached Yale seemed to put more power into her stroke and gave the first inti mation of an advantage. "Harvard ap parently paid no attention to this unim portant change in positions and rowed steadily on. Accordingly, at the half mile flag the nose of the blue shell was a trifle in the van, giving Yale a lead of perhaps an eighth of a length. The first flag, however, had hardly been passed when Harvard spurted and Yale dropped her stroke one point, and the Harvard boat came up on even terms. Reaching down for the mile the Yale coxswain swerved slightly from his true course and directly after the mile flags had been passed Harvard took the lead, which she was not to surrender throughout the race. Yale, whose men had up to this point been rowing beau tifully, indulged in a little freaky wa termanship, and Harvard stole away. During the next half mile the crim son topped oars were sweeping grace fully through the water at a rate and a style which fairly lifted the shells from the water, and in this short stretch she made her lead a full length. At this point the Harvard men did the prettiest rowing of the day, and among those on board the official boats it was the unanimous opinion that no finer piece of work had ever been seen on the Thames. Notwithstanding Yale's speedier stroke, they found it impos sible to overcome the Harvard lead. During this very Yale spurt, the Har vard shell actually gained another half length and proceeded to make it two full lengths in an amazingly short per iod. Yale temporarily surrendered and dropped from 36 to 32 strokes to the minute, while Harvard condescendingly lowered her stroke to 33. At this two mile flag the Cambridge boat was fairly flying through the wa ter, her oarsmen apparently grow ing stronger. Yale was rowing well and improved in the next half mile, but for every notch of fine work that Yale cut out Haired gouged out two, and at the two and a half mile flag it was Harvard's advantage by three clean lengths. Yale put in some gruelling work and undertook to fight bravely the fate which now seemed certain. The race had gone too far, however, and Harvard, having in mind the pre vious threshings which she has suffer ed at Yale's hands in former years, pro ceeded to make a walk away of it, and at the three mile flag: the race partook of all the elements of a procession. Harvard had stolen two more lengths from the Yale boat and was gliding gracefully along, with Yale five lengths to the rear. Down the long line of fantastically decorated yachts gathered at and about the finish the Harvard yacht swung jauntily, steadily pulling away from Yale. Reaching for the finish flags, the tide caught the Harvard shell and swerved it woefully. The little coxswain had his head about him, however, and with great skill worked his way back into line and shot down toward the judges' boat. Many small boats hovered about the course. It cost Harvard a fraction of a length, perhaps, but Yale, strug gling along gamely, had a similar ex perience and the disadvantages were even. Harvard crossed the finish line in a whirlwind, rowing beautifully six and a half lengths to the good. Yale finish ed in fairly good shape, but her men were somewhat depressed. In terms of minutes Harvard had won her grand race in 20 minutes and 52H seconds, while Yale crossed the line in 21 min utes and 13 seconds. The Associated Press time.taken from a telegraphic start and timed on the finish line by C. C. McConville, the coach of the Wisconsin crew, was 20 minutes and 47 seconds and is believ ed to be the accurate time of Harvard's crew. GENERAL FRED FUNSTON. About the Sketch of Sim in the July Cosmopolitan. C. S. Gleed, of Topeka, has. In the' July Cosmopolitan, an intensely interest ing character sketch of General Fred erick Funston. The article was referred to in these columns a week ago. It is entitled "Romance and Reality in a Single Life." Under that heading it gives the remarkable career of the hero of the Philippines, remarkable and heroic, long before the United States en tered into war with Spain and Agui naldo. It covers a life of adventure in the tropics and above the arctic circle as well as in the temperate zone of the United States proper. The sketch shows how Funston grasped the situation in Cuba years before the Battle of San tiago and was in a score of battles with Spain before this country fired a shot. It details Funston's two thousand mile ride down the Yukon before the dis coveries of the Klondike. "Before the campaign in the Philip pines," says Mr. Gleed, "Frederick Fun ston, of Kansas, considering his extra ordinary experiences as an American explorer and a soldier in the Cuban army, was too little known. Since hi3 exploits in the Philippines, while it can not be said in any sense that he is too well known, it is true that his fame came in a somewhat extravagant and distorted form particularly in some publications and some, localities. I am sure he would himself approve this last suggestion, though he would likely ob ject to the first. I am sure he is sorry that many untrue things have been said about him by kind, enthusiastic, but un wise, friends; and I am sure he would maintain, with all the earnestness which is characteristic of him, that the ava lanche of praise which has overtaken him ought to be ratably apportioned among the officers and men who are as ready as he to fight and die for their country and its flag. I know him well enough to know that he wishes he could divide equally among his fellow soldiers the thanks and applause which his countrymen have given him. Every line he has written from the war is an indication of his belief that what he is credited with having done has been done as well by those under his command and otherwise associated with him. In a letter to me he said: 'When I tell them to charge, the trouble is not to get them to come on, but to keep from be ing run over by them;' and every letter he has written is filled with praise of General Otis, General MacArthur and other commanders in the island work. "Passing over his boyhood and college days it is found that his first important public service was for the United States department of agriculture as a member of a party sent to explore the famous Death valley, in Southern California. Here for nine months he braved death in its most frightful form, and it is re counted of him that here he recorded the highest temperature ever taken by a government agent, as a few years later in Alaska he recorded the lowest. He went to the latter country to make a botanical collection for the department of agriculture, and there he spent two years in solitary explorations, penetrat ing as far north as the Arctic ocean and undergoing hardships such as have fallen to the lot of few men. About three years ago he enlisted in the Cuban army, going to the island from New York, where he had signed with the Cuban junta. In the twenty months spent in that war he participated in no less than twenty-two engagements, and he was rapidly promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel with command of all the artillery east of Havana, He was shot through both lungs and one arm. and was dangerously injured be neath a falling horse. While suffering from the latter injury he returned to Kansas, and was still lame from it when he was appointed colonel of the Twentieth Kansas." Returning to the personality of his man, Mr. Gleed says: "It is probable that General Funston's chief characteristic, aside from his in dustry and intrepidity, is that of mod esty. He certainly has the appearance of modesty. This is not merely because he is small in stature. I do not know certainly what the rule is about small men, but they are probably as apt to be vain as large men. Not only is Fun ston modest in appearance, but also in conversation. He becomes enthusiastic on any subject that interests him, and he is willing to share his information with any really interested listener. But in all his conversation there is little use of the pronoun 'I,' an absence en tirely of anything like arrogance or boastfulness. He has never enjoyed be ing exhibited or exploited in any man ner. Once, after he returned from his remarkable trip to Alaska, he escorted a lady to an affair to which both had been invited. On the way he was informed of somebody's intention to introduce him as a returned explorer. This struck ter ror to his heart, and he contrived to be absent until it was too late for any one to exhibit him. To the best of my belief he has never foreseen him self as a heroic figure in gay military attire, doing heroic things or wearing the decorations of victory- His mind loves the concrete. He has always astonished me by his unaccountable ac cumulation of dry facts, such as those relating to the tariff, to the style and size of armament of the government ships, statistics of the army, geographi cal measurements, statistics of Arctic fisheries, facts about whaling, statistics about mining in Alaska, mathematical and scientific facts concerning railroad and' ocean commerce, and facts pertain ing to agriculture and similar subjects. "Funston is a fine talker about any topic that interests him, and is a better listener than talker. He does not write readily, and is little disposed to crowd into print. Socially he is easy, cheerful and in every way companionable. If there are children in his vicinity, he usually get to them and makes them Speoiel So as to give everybody a chance to DRESS WELL for the GLORIOUS FOURTH, we have made big reductions on all Clothing form now until then.

He likes a low seat in a quiet corner, with an abundance of juvenile listeners, to whom he can tell the most wonderful stories in the most wonderful way. So clean cut and simple are his narrations, even about difficult subjects, that children never have any trouble in listening to him. He loves music, and has a habit of giving his own names to the classical compositions which his friends play. He is not a musician, but shows line musical in stinct in his preferences. He is fond of poetry, and shows excellent discrimina tion in his selections. He has an acute sense of humor, and sees the funniest things that happen, in spite of serious surroundings. On one occasion in Alas ka some drunken Indians whom he had offended gathered about his little hut and did their best to Kill him by shooting into it. The ridiculous appear ance of one of the Indians so appealed to Funston's mirthful side that he ran the risk of getting killed by taking the Indian's picture with a camera at a small window." ENDS IN A FIGHT. Session of the Italian Chamber Breaks Up In a Bow. Roma, June 30. Tn the chamber of dep uties today the Socialists and Extreme Leftists re-commenced their obstructive tactics and created an immense uproar. The president of the house combntted the efforts of the obstructionists and final ly the deputies left their seats, crowded on the iloor and there was such an up roar that that the sitting was suspended. When it wad resumed similar tactics were carried on by the Extreme Leftists, who crowded the floor. The tumult was deaf ening and eventually a free rlht ensued and the sitting was again suspended. DOES "0T APPLY. Cashing Vouchers Without Charge Is Not the Business of a Fee Buyer. Many of the employes around the court house are complaining about the action of E. B. Good, the fee buyer. There is a city ordinance which regu lates the bartering of negotiable papers and assesses a tax of $20 per year on persons who discount claims. Employes in the court house and witnesses and jurors in the district court have been in the habit of having Dr. Callihan. clerk of the district court, advance them the face value of vouchers. The fee buyer objected on the ground that Dr. Calli ham paid no license and that he was running opposition to him as people would not allow the fee buyer to dis count their claims when they would eash them in for their face value with the clerk. Now the employes and jurors have to hold their vouchers until the treasurer is ready to pay them or have them dis counted by the fee buyer. A ROYAL WEDDING.

Tuesday and Wednesday were record breaking days with the Burlington railroad so fax as the southern division is concerned. On Tuesday there were 57 trains reg istered out of this city, and Wednesday the total ran up to 60. As there are on ly 15 trains scheduled out of here, It will be seen that the extra business is exceedingly heavy, every engine at the company's command being in service. The best record previous to this was in 1H9Z, when there were 52 trains out of. here one day in May, and even in those good times that was considered a phe nomenal day's business, and has stood as the record until shattered twice this week. This week's big rush has been nearly all stock business, many trains being market cattle going east, but the big majority of which were Texas feeders from the Panhandle country, which are being shipped to the northern ranges, where they are to be fed for the mar ket. These cattle are very small and thin, some 36 foot cars having as many as 40 cattle crowded in them. The crews working out of here have scarce ly had any chance to sleep since the rush began, and while the matter of rolling stock has bothered the officials some, the stock is being handled as fast as it can be delivered to the road. The rush is expected to continue for several days. ITLEOO'S SUCCESSOR. Assistant General Passenger Agent Allen Will Be Named. Chicago, June 30. The new chairman, Mr. McLeod, will not return to his desk at the Rock Island offices. As one change involves another in the railway service.there has been some speculation as to his successor. Since coming to Chicago Mr. McLeod has had charge of the outside business of the passenger department of the Rock Island, while Assistant General Passenger Agent Ij. M. Allen has at tended to the details of the local busi ness. It is said Mr. Allen's duties will be enlarged to embrace the outside bus iness and that a new man will event ually be taken in to attend to local affairs. REPLACING WOODEN BRIDGES. Rock Island Making Substantial Im provements In Stone. Horton, June 30. Among the most substantial improvements being made by the Rock Island are the new stone arches to replace the wooden bridges. This work is being pushed all along the line. As an estimate of the amount of this kind of work being done west of the river, reference might be made to the big shipments of Portland cement sent out along the lines from the store house in Horton. Last year 11,000 barrels of this cement were shipped from this point and this year about 6,000 have gone out, with the year only half gone. RAILROAD NOTES. Sears the Signature of Ed McGinnis is sick.

South Dakota Volunteers Complain of the Department's Blunder. Sioux Falls, S. D., June 30. The peo ple of Sioux Falls and of South Dakota feel that no state of the union has suf fered more than this one on account of the blundering of the war department in the matter of inefficient arming of the volunteer regiments, and as letters from the South Dakota privates come from Manila and are published in the newspapers of the state telling of many matters that have otherwise been kept from the public, there is an increasing demand for a thorough investigation. The friends of the volunteer privates are going to demand that somebody be held responsible for sending the boys against the Filipinos poorly equipped with old Springfield rifles when they might as well have had good weapons. The loss to the regiment has been heavy and it is well known that nearly all the losses in battle occurred while the regi ment was so far away from the enemy that no corresponding loss could be in flicted on the insurgents. A. great num ber of the officers fell in battle and there is no doubt in the minds of their friends that they were victims of the discrepancy between the weapons of the opposing armies. If a military investi gation can not be held it is the intention of the friends of the regiment to ask for an investigation through congress. What makes it all the more aggravat ing to South Dakota people is the fact that when the First South Dakota regi ment was being organized in Sioux Falls a year ago officers of the regiment and privates made written request to Senator Pettigrew against being armed with Springfield rifles, and Senator Pet tigrew went to Washington and made formal protest, in accordance therewith, at the war department. He had a stormy meeting with the late General Flagler and afterward laid the matter before those higher in authority. In view of the fact that it was not expected there would be any fighting in the Philippines the regiment was given Springfield guns of an old pattern. When hostilities commenced last winter Senator Pettigrew brought up the mat ter in congress and the war department insisted that the volunteers were not competent to handle the modern guns. Some time ago, in an interview, the senator strongly denounced the war de partment for permitting the South Da kota volunteers to go on the firing line armed with the Springfield rifles, while the Filipinos have the Mausers. The regulars who were in the Philippines were kept on garrison duty with the Krag-Jorgensen rifles. This interview called forth a letter to Congressman Gamble from Adjutant General Corbin in which he undertakes to convince South Dakota people that their regi ment was better off with Springflelds than with modern weapons. In this letter, widely published in the local imperialist press, the adjutant general referred to the Springflelds as having "an effective range of 3,000 yards," and added: "To all practical intents and purposes men armed with the Mauser or the Krag-Jorgensen have, in action, no ad vantage over those armed with the Springfield." Further he said in reference to the use of the Springflelds: "The secretary (Alger) desires me to add that while all expert shoti among the volunteers in the Philippine islands have the Krag for long-range firing, General Otis has cabled that they prefer the Springfield for the medium range and that they also prefer black powder to smokeless, for the reason that there having been some casualties owing to the bursting of guns using smokeless powder they are afraid of it." This effort on the part of the admin istration to defend itself from the com plaints of the volunteers on account of inferior guns does not allay the irrita tion caused by the great loss manifestly caused by the inferior weapons of the volunteers. The South Dakota regiment received in April last enough of the regulation guns to have twenty-five to a company. The men, contrary to Otis' assurances, seem pleased to get the guns. LAST WEEK SHARKEY'S YIEWS. Says He Will Knock Jeffries Out by the Ninth Round. San Francisco, June 30. Tom Sharkey is nothing If not confident of the result of his coming fight with Jim Jeffries for the championship of the world. The sailor thinks the right will last a.bout nine rounds and that it will be a bitterly fought affair. But he says he is a certain winner, and in an interview a few days ago at Salinas, Cal., save several reasons for so thinking. These are the main points he gave to his questioner: "I have been in training at Paso Ho bles for three weeks in anticipation of a meeting with Jeffries and am very glad the match has been made. I will start east as soon as possible to prepare for the fight, if it is to be in the east, in which case I will train on Long Island. But if the battle is to be in San Francisco I will return and train at Paso P.obles. I won't need much training, as I am in good condition at present, and could get into the ring at anv moment. "The two last champions. Fitzslmmons and Corbett, tried very hard to keep me from the championship and endeavored to make me unpopular with the public. Now. this meeting will settle all. In 1900 I wiil be the undefeated and undisputed cham pion of the pugilistic world. "As to the terms which I understand Jeffries desires to make I can only say that he must fight under the Marquis of Queensbury rules in a twenty-four foot ring. I will dictate to him, not he to me, as I am champion. "As to his fight with Fitzsimmons, why, 'Kid' McCoy could have beaten the old man in six rounds. Fitz is an old man, a has been, and proved to the public that he was afraid of me when he refused to fight me in New York. I have beaten Corbett twice and in the coming match I will prove to all that I am the greatest fighter of my weight and size in the world. "As to where the fight will come off, I am unconcerned. I will fight Jeffries any where. I am on the level, and want ai good, square man for referee. If O'Rourka is satisfied to have Siler I am also. "Jeffries will not have the sick man to deal with he had when he fought me be fore. As to bandages on the hands. T won't' kick about them, as he will need bandages on his head and bodv when I get through with him. All I want Is to get him into the ring, then he, not I, will jump over the ropes. "Just now everybody is talking of Jef fries because he beat old Fitz. It took him eleven rounds to do it. and Fitz wa.4 fifty pounds the lighter and ten years tht, elder. But Jeffries won't have that in his favor when he meets me. He will have a man near his own weight and age before him, and one who Is also his mas ter. I mean to show him that I can d to him what his father wanted done that is. whip him and take the conceit, out of him." While talking Sharkey kept up running comments with his companions on what he would do to Jeffries, and as to what the arrangements would probably be. "The bulletins of the fight will read: 'Jeifries beaten by Sharkey in the nintli round," was his parting shot. Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Return $19. OO via the Santa Fe.

Although it was announced with many expressions of satisfaction at the time that the $20,000,000 payment to Spain was made without the transmis sion of a dollar in actual cash, since that time more than $20,000, 000 in gold has been shipped to Europe. Minneapolis Tribune: The Standard Oil company claims it has been forged to leave Ohio because it Was unfairly treated. On this same theory there are thousands of Standard Oil victims in every Btate in the union who would be justified in getting off the earth en tirely. The catch of shad on the American coast this year is estimated by the fish commission experts at 13,000,000, or an Increase of 150 per cent since 1SS5, when the commission began the systematic collection of eggs and the distribution of shad fry. Not only this fine fish, but etriped bass also, now range freely along the Pacific coast, where a few yearn ago they were entirely unknown. The shad catch alone in Pacific waters this year was nearly 2,000.000, and fur ther planting along the coast has been suspended. The rapid growth of the telephone In the United States is shown in the facts and figures given in a pamphlet issued by the correspondents of J. P. Morgan Co. in New York and Boston. In 1SS0 there were 408 exchanges, with 132, 6S2 instruments in the hands of licensees. In 1898 there were in the same territory 2.100 exchanges and more than 1,290,000 Instruments under rental. In addition to its normal investments, the American Telephone and Telegraph company had In 1S98 $10,000,000 in buildings built and occupied by it and connected by sub terranean systems in the principalcities. The entire expenditure of all Bell com panies to the close of that year for con struction, including real estate, was $111,159,309. Government by injunction works both ways it seems. It can b used not only to keep men from work but to keep them at it. A temporary injunction has been secured at Chester, Pa., to pre vent a valued employe from accepting a similar situation elsewhere at an ad vance in salary. The employee is Ed win II. Martin, an expert steel worker, and the firm which seeks to retain his ptrvices in its plant Is the Lukens Iron Steel company. In 1898 Martin en tered the employ of the company which asks for the injunction, at a salary of J6.0-MJ per year, signing an agreement to remain in the position for five years. Two months later he decided to resign the place, but the company refused to accept the resignation, and is holding iiim against his will through the pre liminary injunction, which prevents him from leaving. He says his intention is to enter the employ of the Diamond Bteel company of Wilmington, Del., at a salary of $S,500 per year. It has often been called to mind that people who have once lived in Kansas never forget her and always have a frood word for her when opportunity of fers. The saying "once a Kansan al ways a Kansan," has again been exem plified, this time by Seymore Davis, who is well known in Topeka, He is quoted In the Philadelphia. Call as fol lows: "While the Kansas boys are fighting In the Philippines their wives, sisters and sweethearts are running the farms. These women urged the men folks to enlist and told them they would tend the crops while they were away. The girls are ploughing and hoeing and pull ing the weeds and thinning the corn. They wear big sunbonnets and do not get tanned. Furthermore, they are as highly educated as any clas3 of city maidens and in. between their busy days they write to the boys on the other side of the world, and it is safe to say that those letters are as cheery as a shimmering cornfield rustling in a prai rie zephyr and chockfull of patriotism for the land they till." GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.J We don't believe anybody knows how to spell Fritz Haekelnkaemper's' name. People begin to "watch" a widow within three months after her hus band's death. Some women go off and have a big cry, who should go off and bunt a, bis club, and use it. Some people get up surprise parties because it is the only way in which they can get invited. A widow doesn't feel entirely bereft so long as she has enough money in the bank to buy a cow. The contest among the women at present seems to be as to which shall wear the largest plaids in her skirts. Most married women have an exag gerated notion of the ease with which their husbands ought to make money. If two men engage in a. controversy, and ask you to settle it, don't do it: one of them is bound to jaw you, in stead of the other man. Unless a man Is worth $500,000, be Is not far enough away from the day when he went barefoot for his folks to enjoy hearing him boast of it. A man who runs stands on the Fourth of July for the sale of pies and lemon ade, threatens to leave Atchison be cause it is slow, and has only one fourth of July celebration a year. If a doctor should advise a woman to put anything on the small of her back as heavy and warm as a bustle, what tender sympathy she would receive from her friends for being compelled to wear it! The women are permitting their dress skirts to gape in the back again. From this circumstance we discover that the bustles women wear are made of fine wire, aid not of old newspapers, as some unobserving men suppose. We desire to thank Col. Cooper, own er of the circus, for giving a street pa rade without elephants. Elephants are the nastiest, ugliest looking things on earth: an elephant always reminds us of a mud hole dried up, and they al ways scare the horses. There is a new kind of doctor: he writes his patients anonymous letters, and abuses them, saying they should be ashamed of pretending to be sick when they are not, and that the White Caps are talking of whipping them for needlessly disturbing and annoying their friends. It may be a good idea. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Woman without religion is as natural as a cat without fur. After the first three or four times a man falls in love in the regular way he takes liver pills. A woman doesn't begin to love a man until she begins to be afraid she Isn't enough afraid of him. The trouble with marriage is it's a mockery if you don't have ideals, and if you do, you smash them all. You can tell how much a woman trusts her husband by the fact that when he takes her to a vaudeville show with him she doesn't think he is in any danger. JAYHAWKER JOTa Newton has caught the street fair fever from Salina. Abilene is an immune. Bent Murdock's kick has now become a "revolution," according to Dave Leahy. A, A. Banta, formerly of the McPher son Republican, is now with the Abilene Chronicle. Inealls Is perfectly safe In calling Na poleon a liar. Napoleon is a long way off and quite dead. The Turnfest at Lawrence last Sunday aroused the ministers of that place Into '"resoluting" against Sunday picnics. The politicians are keeping an eye on John Seaton just now. They are afraid he is getting -eady to spring some sur prise on them. Every town that got left in the asylum squabble is now giving Parsons a loud horse laugh because the law is defective. The Kansas editor who wants to kill off Cy I. eland by making him vice president had better first get the subject's consent to be killed. The young Porto Rican who came up to enter college at "commencement" time would like to find the man who Invented the English language. The arrest of Jester, the alleged mur derer, furnished a good graft for the Wichita newspaper correspondents this week, and they worked it hard. Tramps are not bothering central Kan sas just now they go around by way of Nebraska. It is- harvest time in central Kansas and hands are in demand. Society item from the Iola Register: There is a wedding in the young crowd in Iola on the string and more that a dozen others are strongly suspected. A "Wichita man has applied for an in junction to keep a laundry nearby from smoking him out. The smoke from the laundry blows directly into his office. Iola is putting on metropolitan airs. The Missouri Paciric is running three subur ban trains a day out Into the factory towns that have sprung up east of lo'a. The bouquets which the Kansas press Is throwing at Roosevelt this week indi cate that he can have anything he wants in Kansas in liA if a new hero does not arise. Charley Finch of the Lawrence Journal is knocking on Ingalls' candidacy for con- Gess in the First district. But then, twrence is in the Second district, so the kick doesn't count. Vic Murdock credits Henry Allen with being the editor of the Ottawa Republi can. Now listen to Allen roar. The Re publican is a Populist paper and jumps onto Stanley at every turn in the road. Jewell City scores, but it is too late in the game to count. Father Hngnn of that place is a first cousin of Jim Corbett. If Jewell City wants to get in the middle of the swim let it trot out a cousin to Jim Jeffries. A Wichita cigar factory is sending out a large picture of a large factory with many hands at work, and underneath it is printed. "This will be our factory if you will Patronize Home Industries." Swing Herbert wants Hiawatha to have free delivery of mails, and he tells the people they can get it by increasing the business of the postoffice ta.uoo this year. It would give four men a steady job. The Kansas editors are making a big outcry this week because Roosevelt in speaking of Funston to Kansas City peo ple the other day said. "Your brave Fred." But Roosevelt was only giving Kansas City a little taffy. KANSASNEWS. The History of Jester's Past Is a Dark One. Ills Sister Tells More of UIs Alleged Crimes. ALWAYS BEES CRUEL. Suspected of Murdering a Man at Valley Center. Said to Hare Attempted to Kill a Sister in Indiana. Wichita. June 30. Sheriff SimmonB, who arrested Alexander Jester at Shaw nee, O. T., last week, for the murder of young Gilbert Gates, in Audrain county. Mo., twenty-eight years ago has re turned to Wichita to secure witnesses for a more complete Identification of Jester, who is to be brought here as soon as the habeas corpus hearing is finished at Tecumseh. One of the wit nesses who will be called to see Jester is John Mott, who lives near Valley Center, Kansas, on a claim which Jes ter jumped in 1870. In the trial Mott beat Jester and got the land. Jester, it is said, afterward tried to get Mott out on a hunt to put him out of the way. While Sheriff Simmons was at Shaw nee he got a lengthy statement of Jes ter's life from his sister, Mrs. Cornelia Street, who wrote the letter to Sheriff Simmons giving her brother away. In the statement Mrs. Street says Jester was totally bad from the time he was 10 years old till he killed Gilbert Gates, at which time he was 50. In 1870, according to Mrs. Street, while Jester and his first wife lived on a claim near Valley Center, a young doctor went to their place one night and stayed until after breakfast the following morning. In a few minutes after the doctor left. Jester stepped out and did not return until noon. He had the doctor's horse and buggy and medicine case and the doctor was never heard of again. This came out on Jester after his first arrest for the murder of young Gates and was told to Mrs. Street by Jester's first wife, who died sixteen years ago. Jester has been married twice since, but deserted both women, and was to have been married last Sunday for the fourth time. Mrs. Street could not re member the young doctor's name, but she said his medicine case sat around in the Jester house for years. When Jester was 16 years old, while the family lived in Indiana he beat one of his sisters over the head with a club until she sank 1 to the ground, and then took a knife and tried to cut an artery in her left arm so she would bleed to death. This was near Hagerstown, Ind. At another time he had trouble With his mother and, during the quarrel, he threw a big stone on her feet, injuring her so that she was a cripple for several years. Mrs. Street's statement was a long one, and shows Jester to be a man of unusually vicious character. A special from Hagerstown, Ind., says Jester lived there in 1865. He went west and returned in the spring of 1S71 with young Gates' team and wagon and leading a young buffalo which Gates left Kansas with and was taking home to domesticate. Mrs. Street says that young Gates' trunk was spilt in five pieces and buried on a farm near Val ley Center. J. W. Gates of Chicago, brother of the murdered man, thinks Mrs. Street's story fs perfectly straight. He says his father dug up the pieces of Gates' trunk at the time of Jester's arrest and that no one knew of this part of the case ex cept Mr. Gates and the Jester family. Tecumseh, I. T., June 30. Alexander Jester, alias W. A. Hill, under arrest for the murder of Gilbert W. Gates twenty-eight years ago, still occupies a cell in the Pottawatomie county jail here and Sheriff Melson of Audrain county. Mo., is still here, pending the hearing of the habeas corpus case, which is set for July 8. The Missouri officer will make a strong effort to se cure his prisoner before many days have passed. County Attorney Pitt man today filed a petition in the probate court for the turning over of Jester to Melson. The hearing has been set for next Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and will be a test of the probate judge's authority to hear habeas corpus pro ceedings. Attorney General Cunnings ham's opinion will be used by Pittman in his contention that Probate Judge Jennings is exceeding his powers. A. H. Finks of Shawnee, formerly of Audrain county. Mo., made a deposition this morning corroborating J. W. Gates identification ot Jester or Hill. Finks is sure he is the man tried for Gilbert Gates' murder in 1S71. The aged pris oner was in better health today than yesterday, and appears to be in good spirits. CHANGE OF WARDENS. Both Federal and State Officials of Leavenworth Prisons Ready. Leavenworth, June 30. Major Robert Wilson McClaughry, the new warden of the federal prison, arrived at Fort Leavenworth at noon and was received at the depot by Warden J. W. French, the outgoing warden. Major McClaughry was accompanied by members of his family, and will settle down at once. Warden French vacating the residence by today. All kinds of reports are in circulation concerning changes to be made at the prison, but these are premature and without authority. Humor has it that Deputy J. M. Allen is likely to go, as well as Farmer French, brother of the outgoing warden. These are the principal changes spoken of among those who allege to know what they are talking about. J. B. Tomlinson, the new warden of the state penitentiary, was among the arrivals yesterday and will assume con trol of the state institution tomorrow. Warden Harry S. Landis stepping aside.

At wood presided as toast master. NEGRO MINERS IMPORTED. Seventy-five More Men Behind the Stockades at Bcammon. Pittsburg, June 30. Seventy-five more Alabama negroes were unloaded by the Western Coal and Mining company at the stockades in Scammon yesterday. The miners did not attempt to interfere with them, and all of them are now be hind the stockade. The company has brought these men in defiance of the in junction secured by County Attorney Stephens against the importation of un desirable laborers, relying on the coun ter injunction they have obtained from a federal court. It is reported that the county board of health of Cherokee county will take steps to prevent any more importations of negroes by issuing a quarantine notice that the railroads will be forced to respect. HIS LAST ROUNDUP. "One of the Boys" Gives a Farewell Party Just Before Sis Marriage. Ottawa, June 30. There was a stag par ty in Rohrbaugh hall in this city last night, given by A. H.

It now appears that Mayor Harrison of Chicago and other prominent Illinois Democratic leaders have made a deal witu the leaders of Tammany in New York by which it is hoped to unite the delegates from the two states to the next Demo cratic national convention, not on y in op position to the nomination or William J. Brvan of Nebraska, but free silver as well No' secret is made of the efforts of the Illinois and New York Democratic lead ers and it is now stated on what appears to be prettv reliable authority that the scheme opt-nlv advocated by the leaders ot the two states is also favored, not only bv Colonel Guffey and Mr. Harrity of Pennsylvania, but by ex-Senator Gorman of Maryland and the Democratic leaders of a number of other states as well. Such Democratic leaders will understand that with Brvan and free silver in the campaign next year their party is sure of another defeat. They have little hope that they could win next year with any candidate on any kind of a platform, but thev argue that there will be much more chance of success with Bryanism and free silver abandoned, and that with the party divorced from free silver for four years there mav be some hope of success in 1904 with some other Republican than Presi dent McKinley as the Republican nomi- 11 It' is also stated in this connection that ex-Senator Gorman of Maryland is the man most likely to be decided upon by the opposition to Bryan as their candi date for the Democratic nomination for president, and that the whole scheme has been the sublect of frequent conferences between the Democratic leaders engaged In it during the past few months. PROSPEROUS OKLAHOMA. The Greatest Crop of Wheat in Its History Just Harvested. Pawhuska. O. T.. June 30. Oklahoma's greatest wheat harvest is just ended. The June harvest in 197 is the next largest. The wheat area includes 1.250.000 acres, the largest in the history of the territory. The product of the wheat crop is safely estimated at 20.000.000 bushels. In some of the counties the yield will be forty bushels per acre, but in others not so Luge, making eighteen bushels per acre 631 Kansas Avenue I settling down to more hot days, suggestions naturally turn to Cool Apparel.

The great wheat producing section is composed of nine counties out of the twenty-three of the territory, to-wit: Woods, Grant, Kay, Garfield, Noble Okla homa, Kingfisher, Canadian and Cleve land and the Osage and Kansas Indian reservations. This section of the terri tory has become famous for its immense wheat crops of 1S97. 1S9S and 181)9. The acreage of 189S was an increase of 30 per cent over the preceding year: this year's gain over last will reach at least 10 per cent. The crop was not molested by insect pests nor affected by rust. The grain everywhere is large and plump. The wheat acreage in Kay county, the banner county of the territory, reached this year 210.000 acres: Canadian county comes next. with 2U0.00O acres. Garheld county claims 1G0.O00 and an average of twenty bushels to the acre. The 100.000 acres of leased land in the Osage Indian reservation have produced a splendid crop. One field of 5.0"0 acres in the Ponca Indian reservation will yield 100, ooo bushels. Twenty-two binders were employed in harvesting this big field. It is no longer conjectural or specula tive as to the value of Oklahoma as a wheat producing country. This is the third great consecutive crop which has been raised. The aggregate income to the territory from this year's crop will not fall below $10,000,000. MORMON LEADERS TO MEET The Church Reported to Be in Des perate Financial Straits. Salt Lake, Utah, June 30. The most important conference of Mormon church leaders that has ever been held will convene in this city next Sunday. It has been called by Lorenzo Snow, president of the church, and will in clude all church officials including and above the rank of bishop. Officials will be in attendance from Mexico, Canada, all parts of -Utah and surrounding states. The meeting will be held in the temple building, to which no Gentiles are admitted, and the utmost secrecy will be observed. The object of this solemn conclave of church leaders is stated only in the vaguest terms by President Snow to be to discuss mat ters of church policy, but it is general ly believed that the purpose Is to give President Snow an opportunity to in struct the officers to more strictly en force the law of tithing. During recent years the church reve nues have greatly diminished through a falling off in tithing payments, and it is known that the church is in desper ate financial straits. It is reported that the church debts now aggregate over $1,000,000, although no financial state- Men's Regular $10 Blue Serge Suits, double breasted, until the 4th Men's Double breasted Blue Serge Coats, r egu- lar $5.00 values CgJJ gg Men's regular $X5 and $t2 Fancy Worsted Suits, broken lots and sizes we may have your size if CJQ Ok we have they're ..iPUaOU Men's Fixings All those dainty ideas of yours re garding swell ap pearance can be seen here.

Some One Taoaght He Had Diacoyer ed a Shortage But Was LSCistakea- There was a great bazziri in the of fice of the state supen ctendeat of in surance Thursday afternoon, because it was believed that a shortage m the ac counts of Webb Mo"alI as insurance co mmissioner hai been discovered. The representatives of the ailm.nistra tion orz-ans sharpene-i their pencils and too-a copious notes of the incident and were prepared to expose MoN'all before a small but select list of sucscribers. One of the newspaper men locked him self up in a rjorn and wrote a thriiiia account of MoMaL's depredations and with pointed accuracy narrac-d how tne ex-superintendent had ra.ded the treas ury. But, the story did not appear in print. It was com up and thrown into a waste basket. Here 13 one paragraph of it: -The discovery of a shortage in Mc Xill's accounts, which has been expect ed since the Republicans took chary of the department has at last been dis covered. The wily Webb has teen un covered. He ?ot away with money paid in for fees by an eastern insurance company. His policy cf robbing insur ance companies was not oor.hned to road at this- point the copy was torn and the rest was in sum small fr-i jrmer. ts that it cou-d not be real. This story did not appear in print be cause it was discovered that the allege! shortage d-d not exist. An Iowa insur ance company, according to the records of the department, as examined by the present oifica's had not remitted the fees due for licenses. A letter was writ ten to the manager of the company re questing that tne attention be riven the matter at once. This o-rnoiai replied by statins' that he held Mo-Nail's receipts for the money. The books were aaia examined. No record was found, hence the conclusion that M2Nall had pociceted the money was arrived at. Later the proper credit was found, but In transferring it to the ledffer it had been recorded in the ac count of another company bearing tile same name, bat havtn7 ceadci-aarters ia another space.

June 30. Rev. B. F. Mills, of Boston, was chairman at this morning's session of the National Social and EoliticaJ conference. The subject or the day's discussion was "Reform Through Party Action." This morning the question considered was "What Can the Parties Do?" Kormer State Senator John Laughlin presented the claims of the Republican party, which he said was born to meet a great emergency to free and elevate mankind, to unshackle 4.000.000 slaves. The Republican party had always been the friend of labor and the oppressed. "Never." called out some one. Zhia bruht forth a, rebuke from The Kemper Paxtons MoneySaving Stores.

He declared he would be re-elected in 1900 and that the empire state was going to present Governor Roosevelt to the nation in 1904 as its presidential candidate. R. S. Thompson, editor of the New Era, published in Springfield, O., and who is also national chairman of the Union Reform party, presented the claims of that party. He said it stands simply and solely for direct legislation, in other words. government by the whole people and not by a party which is a party of the people.

THE NATIONAL EVIL. General Lew Wallace Holds Admin istration Sponsor For Trusts. Crawfordsville, Ind., June 30. General Lew Wallace in discussing trusts today said: "I know nothing more reprehensible than the neglect which has been shown this evil by the national authorities from President McKinley down. He has PROF. 1VILL STUBBORN. Refuses to Be Ousted as President of Agricultural College. The most exalted example of a deter mined effort to hold office is just now be ing furnished the stale administration by Thomas E. Will, who has been removed, by the board of regents, from the position of president of the state agricultural col lege at Manhattan. When the board of regents Investigated the conditions at the college, following the investigation by the committee appointed by Governor Stanley, an order was made terminating the term of service of the president July 1. When the Populist ad- muiisirauon tooK cnarge or me institu tion the custom had been to make con tracts with teachers and professors for the actual school year, ten months. The Populists, in order to perpetuate themselves in office, changed this and made contracts, after Stanley was elected, for two and one-half years. This would carry the force of teachers and the corps of officials past the Stanley administra tion, at which time they anticipated that the Populists would again return to the control of the state. The attorney general held that such a contract is illegal, and upon his authority the new board of regents abrogated the contracts with Prof. Will and such teach ers as they did not care to retain and or dered them to vacate. Mr. Will is in Buffalo attending the con ference of reformers, but has taken time while there to write a letter to E. T. Fair child, president of the board of regents, announcing that he will continue to act as president of the college after July 1. The ex-president says he will wholly ig nore the order of the board of regents and will continue to act officially, as will his secretary, w. H. Phipps. When Mr. Fairchild received this letter he came to Topeka to consult the attornev general and governo Governor Stanlev and Mr. Fairchild dxrussed the subject this forenoon and agreed that the letter of Mr. Will shall receive no consideration whatever. The authorities at the college will treat Mr. Will as an ex-president and Mr. Phipps as an ex-secretary. While it is not anticipated that Will's action may be productive of trouble, it is hinted in official circles that if he at tempts to interfere with the business of the college or transgresses in any manner upon the duties from which he has been removed, forcible ejection from the in stitution will result. TWO MEN LOOT A TOWN Carnival of Murder and Rob bery In Cuba. Havana, June 30. The local papers devote considerable space to the recent troubles at Guanajay, deplore the ac tion of a few unprincipled men and con gratulate General Lee upon the prompt measures he has taken to put a stop to them. According to the Diario de la Marina at Matanzas, which hitherto has been considered immune against crimes, highway robbery and violence have broken loose. Two armed Cubans have held up the village of Bachicha and robbed the principal stores, after kill ing the proprietor. The police killed a man. bound and unarmed at Cabezas, claiming that he tried to escape and two Spaniards have been set upon and kill ed by a body of Cubans at the Presio plantation near Cardenas. Owing to the expressed opinion of Brigadier General James H. Wilson, governor of the consolidated depart ments of Matanzas and Santa Clara, that rural police are not wanted, trouble is expected in the province of Matanzas for some time. GIVEN 30 DAYS.

Benton, who has been elect ed president of the Upper Iowa university at Iowa City, today tendered to Governor Stanley his resignation as a member of the state board of education. Prof. Ben ton has been occupying a chair at Baker university. He is one of the distinguish ed young educators of this state arid his election to the presidency of a recognized eastern institution is a compliment which his friends say is well deserved. Mr. Benton was assistant state superintend ent under the Morrill administration, but the irksome requirements of politics were distasteful to him. He resigned and soon was elected to a position in Baker uni versity. His successor there has not been appointed and the governor has not named a man to take his place on the board of education.

Washington, June 30. The expense of the war with Spain and our present war in the Philippines, as shown by official treasury figures, which will be issued next month, has averaged during the past fiscal year, $800,000 a day, or a total of $283,000,000. To this expense must be added a large increase in civil expenditures, which swells the grand total chargeable to maintaining the army and navy estab lishments to more than $300,000,000. The direct war expenses have been for the fiscal year 1899: War, $2211,000.000. Navy, $65,000,000. Those same items in the year 1898 were: War, $02,000,000, Navy, $59,000,000. i The total war and navy expenditures of 1898 and 1899 compare as follows: 1898 $151,000,000. 1899 $294,000,000, The excess of these expenditures for this fiscal year over 1898 is, therefore, $143,000,000, which is practically the dif ference between the government on a peace footing and on a war footing. To the excess of $143,000,000 expended this fiscal year over 1898, in maintain ing the army and navy establishments must be added $23,000,000 of civil and miscellaneous expenditures of the gov ernment in excess of the same class of expenditures in 1898. This makes the total excess of expen ditures in these three items over the peace year of 1898 of $166,000,000. STRIKE POSTPONED. General Walkout at Chicago Delayed a Few Days. Chicago, June 30. The Chicago Pack ing and Provision company today shut down announcing that they would not attempt "to operate their packing house until the strike was over. Practically all the packing houses were in the market today buying hogs for packing purposes and but few evidences of a strike were apparent at the yards. The general walkout of the packing house employes, which was contempla ted for tomorrow, unless a general ad justment of the wage question was had with the packers will not take place. Several secret meetings were held by the strikers today to discuss the ad visability of taking action looking tow ard a general strike. It was the gen erally expressed opinion that if the or der for a walkout were postponed for a few days, chances for success would be much better as in the meantime an or ganization could be perfected. Many of the employes strongly argued against any further extension of the strike at present time. WRIT OF OUSTER. Granted Against 73 Insurance Companies. Jefferson City, Mo., June 30. The Missouri supreme court, en banc to day, awarded a writ of ouster on the information of Attorney General Crow, against 73 foreign fire insurance com panies doing business in St. Joseph, Mo., for violation of the state anti-trust law act of 1835. Under this decision the companies can not do business in the state. HOWISON'S VISIT To Pretoria Is an Unusual Proceeding For an Admiral. Washington, June 30. The Chicago, which arrived at Delagoa bay yesterday is several days ahead of her schedule time. -According to the itinerary ar ranged before the ship sailed from New York she was to arrive at Delagoa bay July 5. The visit of Admiral Howison to Pretoria is said to have no political significance, althought it is not usual for an admiral to leave his ship to pro ceed overland into another country. Un doubtedly the admiral will consult with the American consul general at Pretoria respecting the out look in the Transvaal and will be guided largely by his ad vice as to how long the Chicago will be detained at Delagoa bay, which is the nearest port to the Transvaal. CASE FIZZLED. After Working Two Weeks, Officers Arrest Wrong Man. John B. Carpenter, who was arrested by the police for horse stealing, was re leased from custody by Sheriff Cook to day. The man who bought the stolen horse came from Dover to identify the pris oner but failed to do so and said he bought the horse from another man. Officer Maze had been working on the case for two weeks and felt certain he had the right man. JEFFRIES HERE. Big Pugilist Passes Through Topeka Unannounced.

The big boiler maker was accompan ied by his brother Jack and Ross O'Neill. The three occupied the smok ing compartment of the Pullman on the Union Pacific train. It was not known that the big fellow was going through and there was no crowd to meet him save the few people who happened to be at the depot. U0RSE AND COW CENSUS. Secretary Wilson Will Try to Have One Taken. Denver.Col.. June 30. In the monthly bulletin of the National Live Stock asso ciation it is stated that the prospects for having a thorough and classified census of the live stock of the country taken next year are brighter than at any time in the past. At the annual convention of the association held here last January strong resolutions were adopted on this subject. Replying to these resolutions and the ac companying letter which was sent him. Secretary James Wilson of the depart ment of agriculture says: "With regard to the census of domestic animals, we have never had such a thing since the United States was a nation. I have not been able to get hold of Gov ernor Merriam, the new director of the census, but I will begin a correspondence with him and see if it is not possible to get somebody appointed and put in charge of agriculture in the census who has some conception of agriculture. It will be a new thing, of course, if we suc ceed in getting that done; and I assure you I will make every effort to that end." NO USE FOR NEGROES. Uncle Sam Wants Only Enough to Fill Tacancies. New Tork, June 30. A special to the Herald from Washington says: No colored regiments will be organiz ed for service in the Philippines. Any colored men enlisted will be assigned to vacancies in the present colored regi ments of the regular army. The experi ment of the war department with color ed volunteers during the Spanish war was not a happy one and in tpite of re ports coming from the Philippines to the effect that the colored man is great ly feared by the natives the authorities are averse to running the risk of a rep etition of the troubles of last year. The selection of officers for the ten additional regiments is now being made. General Otis has selected officers for the regiments to be organized under his supervision and the war department officials are going over the efficiency re ports of officers who served during the Spanish war for the purpose of securing leaders for the regiments to be organiz ed at home. The president will have the appointment of 47 officers: one colonel, one lieutenant colonel, three majors, fourteen captains, twelve first lieutenants, twelve second lieutenants, three medical officers and one chaplain. No general officers will be appointed for the reason that there will be a sur plus of major generals and brigadier generals after the old volunteers are mustered out. CLEAR CASE OF PLAGUE Germs Found In Bodies of Drowned Japanese at Frisco. San Francisco, June 30. Dr. Babata, bacteriologist of the board of health, has just returned a report of his examinations of the glands of the two Japanese who were drowned while trying to escape from the steamer Nippon Mam. now held in quarantine on account of three suspicious deaths which occurred on the vessel on her trip from China an.l Japan to this port via Honolulu. Dr. Babata found the bacilli to be those of the bubonic pla:ue, and to make his determination doubly sure will propagate their growth. The bodies of the Japanese were cremated and Dr. Lawler, the health officer of this city, states that there is no danger of the dis ease breaking out In this city, as every precaution has been taken to prevent any thing of the kind. The passengers on board the Nippon Maru have telegraphed the secretary of the treasury protesting against their de tention at the quarantine station, as they assert that there is no proof that the vic tims who died en route from the Orient were suffering from the plague. The iocal health officials however, state that the passengers will not be released until there is absolute certainty tHat the disease does not exist on board the steamer.

Yesterday we took occasion to remark that bears in traction stocks are not yet out of th woods and ere they emerge from their present surroundings they are likely to meet with many a bad quarter of an hour. Today the announcement is made that all traction companies of Greater New York are to unite. An alliance has about been completed between Metropolitan. Third Avenue, Manhattan and Brooklyn Rapid Transit. The combined capital will ha $147,000,000. Metropolitan stockholders will receive within a month S per cent of the new stock at par, $100,000. The bears on Metropolitan, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Manhattan will be punished pretty severelv. All these issues are a purchase for substantial results. Rock Island ex. dividend IVi per cent will look very cheap and Vanderblit issues quoted ex- dividend will be frund attractive to many invest ors. L. N. and Southern Pacific should go very much higher. The stanuard stocks will do better than others. We cannot im press on you too forcibly the advisability of keeping long of western group. Gould issues will find much greater favor ii: tiie course of the next 90 days than they hava enjoved since the death of Jay Gould. Mis souri Pacific will retrieve itself nobly and it may sound like a very wild prediction to sav that by October next Missouri Pa cific will be entering the dividend ranks, but those inside who have the best sources of information insist that this stock will earn between 5 and 6 per cert the present year and before the close of the fiscal twelve months will be a divi dend payer.

The state board of control is in trouble with a new trust. The ministers of Marshall town have announced that they will not preach sermons at the institutions for f.i each, which is the board's schedule. The Ministerial association of Marshall town insists that after July 1 the rate must be $5 per sermon. But the board of control is composed of men qualified to meet any emergency. Governor L.arrabee proposes to speak to the inmates of the Soldiers' home a week from Sunday, and the members of the board will, if necessary, take the places of the ministers who refuse to preach at the state rates. Governor Larrabee says he will make an anti trust discourse and incidentally will re fer to the advice of St. Paul to the bishops in one of the epistles. A short time ago a letter was received indicating that the Ministerial associa tion of Marshalltown had determined that after July 1 its members will not continue to preach for per sermon. The board discussed the situation. It was found that no expression of dissat isfaction had corne from any other in stitution. No other preachers had ask ed for an increase. An investigation of the acts of the legislature proved that $200 had been appropriated for the preaching for a biennial period at the Mitchellville re form school. This was less than $2 a sermon. The board concluded that $3 was a fair price for a discourse and a letter was directed to the secretary of the Ministerial association of Marshall town, saying in rather curt terms that the board would consider its ultimatum. The board members have not had much to say about the matter, but they pllow it to be pretty definitely under stood that they will not pay more than $3. DIFFERENT YESTERDAY.

Other pieces of jewelry were found which it is said will bring the value of the gems seized up close to $u0.000. The officials were surprised at the fine ness of the gems, but it was the necklace of diamonds and pearls that aroused their admiration. The appraisers declared they had never seen finer diamonds or pearls and that the value of the necklace at the lowest estimate is $27,000.

MUST HATE WOOD. McKinley Persuades the General to Keep His Job. Washington, June 30. General Leon ard Wood was in Washington today. He came at the request of the officials of the war department to confer with the presiden-t and the secretary of war regarding the situation in the islands and to discuss with them his future plans. General Wood expects to leave for Santiago either tomorrow or the day following. He has declined abso lutely the offer made to become presi dent of the Washington Traction and Electric company, and he will remain in the army. The president and secretary of war want him to remain in Santiago where he has been so successful. Some time ago General Wood sought service in the Philippines, but it was then believed, as it is now, that his ser vices could not be spared in Cuba. General Wood in talking of the con ditions existing in Cuba, said that what the people there needed was good schools, good sanitation in tbe city and the enforcement of Cnited States laws. General Wood says his advices from Santiago are such as to convince him that there will be no serious outbreak of yellow fever. He says there has always been yellow fever there and in some of the low dives it will be impos sible to prevent infection, but he thinks it will not be serious, as the best of precautions have been taken by tbe United States authorities. AFTER M'KINLEI. A Swarm of Seekers After Army Commissions-Washington, June 30. Since the an nouncement that about 10,000 volun teers were to be mustered into the army for service in the Philippines, the president has been deluged with appli cations for commissions. Almost every congressional caller has one or more applicants whom he presses on the president's attention. The president requests all his visitors to file their ap plications with Adjutant General Cor bin, -at the same time he makes it clear in a general way that the policy of the administration in granting com mission will give preference to volun teer officers who showed ability and who performed valuable service during the Spanish war. Some regular officers are also to be given volunteer commis sions in the belief that one or two reg ular officers In a regiment will be of great advantage. The number of of ficers to be commissioned is being care fully guarded to prevent a scramble. They're on Sale Today. Round trip tickets to Los Angeles and return for $52.00.

Apia, Samoa, June 16. via San Fran cisco, Cala.. June 30. Peace and quiet now reign in Samoa in marked contrast to the warlike scenes of two months ago. The arrival of the auxiliary cruiser Badger on May 13, with the internation al commission on board caused a dis tinct change in affairs here. The com mission lost no time but went to work immediately, electing Mr. Tripp chair man and Mr. Morgan secretary. The commissioners held interviews. first with King Tanu, and then with Mataafa. Tanu was not at first recognized as king by the commission. Tanu and his chiefs readily agreed to give up their arms and stated that they were pre pared to accept any formal government the commission might recommend, even if the kingship were abolished. The following day Mataafa and his party came alongside the Badger, sing ing songs and flying the Samoan Mag. The rebels were ordered to take down the flag, which they did. The commis sioners explained to the chief that they had come to make peace and Mataafa said that he was tired of righting as were his chiefs. He said his party would recognize any government fixed by the commission, but he hoped to have a king of Samoa, as it was an old estab lished institution. Mataafa readily agreed to give up the guns held by his party but insisted that as the weapons were the private property of the natives they should receive com pensation for them. The commissioners issued a proclamation stating that the guns would either be returned or proper payment made for them after all trou bles had been settled. This, of course, means that payment will be made as it would be folly to return the weapons. Mataafa's party asked if they could be represented by attorneys before the commission but their request was de clined. After the Mataafa men had turned in eighteen hundred rities and the Tanu supporters 2,000 more, Tanu was invited on board the Badger. There he was informed that the commission ers supported the decision of Chief Jus tice Chambers. Tanu said that he was willing to do anything for the good of Samoa and at the request of commis sioners resigned his kingship to them. The commission is now engaged in writing its report. The abolition of the kingship will be a feature of the report, also the abolition of the office of president. Apia, a municipality, is to be governed by its council and a mayor. This will relieve the municipality of an official drawing a salary of $5,000 a year and who has in the past only been a source of friction in Apia. The judicial and diplomatic functions of the consuls will be greatly restricted and the com missioners recognize the fact that the supreme court is sufficient for the need3 of Samoa. Revenue will be raised by indirect taxation, by means of increased cus toms duties and the poll tax will be abolished. The licenses and tax rates of Apia will remain as formerly under i the treaty. The supreme court will re- main as under tbe treaty. An admin I istrator or governor will be appointed who will not be a subject of any of the j treaty powers. He is to be assisted by I a legislative council of three, one ap pointed by each of the three powers, i This council will legislate for the Sa- moans and will be aided by a small body of representative Samoans. The governor will have the power of veto. Chief Justice Chambers wishes to re sign bis position and return to the United States, but at the request of the commissioners has decided to remain. Many claims have been lodged at the different consulates for damages dur ing the past few months. While not empowered to take any action on these claims the commissioners agreed that real hardship had been suffered and it is understood that the commission will recommend that the three powers each pay the losses caused to its own sub ject. On the evening of the Queen's birth day. British representatives announced that never, under any circumstances, would Great Britain recognize Ma taafa's claim to be the king. It is stated that Baron Sternberg, the German commissioner. Is fully convinc ed that Consul Rose acted wrongfully and is responsible for the late outbreak. Consuls Rose and Maxse are passengers on the steamer Mariposa for San Fran cisco. Some of the rebels, dissatisfied with the proclamation providing for a pro visional government, have declined to give up their rifles. Mataafa disclaims any responsibility for this action and says it is without his consent. A CRISIS REACHED In the Meetings of the Alaskan Boun dary Line Affair. Washington, June 30. The negotia tions in London looking to the arrange ment of a modus viviendi fixing the Alaskan boundary, have again nearly reached a crisis. The several confer ences that have taken place recently between Lord Salisbury and Ambassa dor Choate have been signally disap pointing In results. At moments it ap peared that basis of understanding had been reached, but it now turns out that the details cannot be agreed upon with out the sacrifice of the interests of many American miners, mainly those who were driven out of the Altin dis trict, by the severe and discriminating laws enacted by the legislature of Brit ish Columbia, and this, the state de partment is determined not to sanction. The United States ambassador has come to the end of the concessions he is authorized to offer and therefore the prospect of a successful outcome of the negotiations is rather depressing. Mean while nothing is said on either side of a reconvention of the present joint high commission, although the date set for the meeting at the last adjournment is rapidly approaching. UNMERCIFUL DISASTER. Followed Fast and Followed Faster on the Steps of Mr. Fisher. Bay City, Mich., June 30. Spencer O. Fisher, ex-congressman, the leading Democratic politician and formerly a wealthy lumber man, has filed a peti tion in bankruptcy in the federal court. The action is the result of a series of misfortunes, caused by failures of oth ers with whom Mr. Fisher had business relations. The petitions personal liabil ities are given at $42S.475, about $75,000 of which is secured by mortgages and other collateral. Mr. Fisher is liable for some $320,000 commercial paper, signed jointly with various business associates. All his available assets are placed to secure the indebtedness of himself and of the Arm of Turner and Fisher. As to petitioner's assets of $166,000 due on notes, $1,200 are scheduled as good, the remainder worthless; $141,500 due on open accounts is also stated to be worthless. Of Mr. Fisher's personal indebtedness $350,900 is scheduled as notes and bills which ought to be paid by others. Save Your N eck And wear collars that have no rough edges. We do them.

Johnson, the Kansas member of the Democratic na tional committee, and temporary sec retary of that body, was a busy man in Chicago yesterday. He called on sev eral leading Democrats. Mr. Johnson is also a member of the committee which was deputized to look into the i charges made by National Committee man Thomas Gahan against P. J. Dev lin, the press agent of the national committee, and much of Mr. Johnson's time yesterday was taken up by the Devlin matter. Mr. Gahan charged Mr. Devlin with being an aggressive Altgeld partisan during the Harrison-Altgeld fight last spring. The national committee ap pointed National Committeemen John son of Kansas, Woodson of Kentucky, and Daniels of North Carolina, to in vestigate the matter. Mr. Johnson has been doing most of the investigating. He worked so quietly that even the city hall Democrats did not know he was carrying out his instructions. Lo cal Democrats believed the sub-committee had done nothing, and Mr.Gahan was preparing to start another fight when the Democratic national commit tee meets in Chicago July 20. Mr. Johnson would not talk of the Devlin matter yesterday, but it was said that the sub-committee had agreed upon a report against Mr. Dei-lin. The argument is advanced in the report, it is said, that any person whose connec tion with the national committee is of a character to lend the color of author ity to his work has no business to de cide between Democrats, and that when he does take sides his usefulness to the party is gone. It is said that the sub committee's report will deal sharply with Mr. Devlin. It has been under stood that Mr.Devlin's work in furnish ing Democratic papers with Democratic ammunition was a labor of love; that he did not receive any money from the committee. It is now said that about $175 a month is given Mr. Devlin to carry on his work. The city hall Democrats, who were told that the sub-committee's report would recommend that Mr. Devlin's wings be clipped, declared that meant they had won their fight; that the Alt geld wing of the local party would not be recognized as "regular," and that the Harrison wing would be known as the only pure, unadulterated brand of Democracy. Ex-Governor Altgeld yesterday ap parently was not aware of Mr. John son's presence in the city. He was ask ed if the sub-committee would do any thing. He replied: "I know nothing of it. I don't know if the committee Intends to take any action. The 'boys' (referring to the city hall people) did not understand the sit uation when they went to St. Louis. Mr. Devlin had been instructed by Sen ator Jones to stand by the Chicago platform and shoot at anybody who was swinging away from it. The little man in the city hall simply got in the way of some of the Devlin shots. That was all there was to it. Mr. Devlin is in a position to tell the city hall peo ple to go to thunder. Some of the boys thought there was a job in his work; that they might put one of their fel lows in to draw a salary. But there isn't any. I understand that Mr. Dev lin does not get a cent from the na tional committee." Mr. Altgeld was told that the city hall Democrats believed he was mak ing preparations to send a delegation to the national convention. He shook his head, and said: "I am doing nothing of the sort. I have no intention of doing that sort of politics. There is nothing in the back alley kind of politics, this scurrying around to carry a ward or a primary. If I had time to devote to politics. I would rather enter the field of ideas and policies. But I haven't the time or money." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. The following real estate transfers have been filed: H. Martin and wife to H. E.

A YOUNG MAN who has lived ia Topeka all his life, went into one of the stores on the morning of the Fourth of July last year to buy some fire works. The proprietor of the store happened to be waiting on him. The young man said "I'm going out in the country to spend the day with some of my country cousins, and I want to take some fireworks with me, and show the boys a good time" He priced the different kinds of fireworks, and picked up a package of punk, twelve sticks, and said, "What's that The merchant told him it was punk, and would last all day, and that it sold for twenty-five cents. The young man said: "I believe I'll take that; they can have a whole day's fun, and it won't cost me much." This is only an illustration of a man getting punk things for his money.

The Tribune says: Negotiations looking to the consolida tion of all the street transportation lines of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx boroughs are in progress. Within the last few months the Brook lyn Rapid Transit company has ab sorbed the Nassau Electric Railway company, its chief competitor in the business of transportation in that bor ough the Brooklyn Elevated company, owning elevated roads in several parts of Brooklyn and operating the Brooklyn Bridge railroad and the Brooklyn and Brighton railroad, and it is soon to take over the King's County Elevated rail road, its control of which will leave only one company, the comparatively small Coney Island and Brooklyn system, out side the fold. Its elevated lines are rap idly being equipped with electricity; the "third rail" being already in use on the bridge and on parts of the roads in Brooklyn Itself. Its surface cars, too, now cross the bridge. The elevated lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system have their New Tork terminus at a point almost ad joining the terminus of the Third Ave nue Elevated road. The .Metropolitan StreetRailway com pany, controlled by the powerful Whit ney syndicate, has steadily absorbed line after line in this borough, until now it operates seven main lines, run ning north and south, and a large num ber of branches and cross town lines, which it is as rapidly as possible equip ping with electricity. It is building, too, a great power house, in which it expects to generate more thaii enough electric ity to run its cars, its purpose being to sell its surplus electricity for generai commercial purposes. The Manhattan Railway company re cently arranged for the issue of $18, 000.000 of new stock, the proceeds of $10, 000.000 ot this amount to be used for the equipment of its road with electricity. Eike the elevated roads of the Brooklyn Transit company, the Manhattan lines are to have the "third rail" and like the Metropolitan, it is building a big power house and will sell its surplus electricity to the general public. The Tribune has reason to believe that consolidation, or virtual consolida tion, is very close at hand although it may not at first Include the Third Ave nue company.

The school board of this city has resigned in a body because the high school graduat ing class persisted in appearing on the stage on commencement night garbed in overalls. The students claim to have suffered certain humiliations at the hands of the board, and by way of re--taliating adopted the word "Work" for their motto, and determined to appear! in laborers garb to claim their diplo mas. The townspeople indorsed the act of the pupils and the board abandoned the management of the city's educa tional affairs. auses o Loss of Hai Dr. Sabcmratid, the eminent French Dermatologist, says that 98 per cent ot hair losses are the results of microbes and the neglect of dan druff.

SOLD BY DRUGGISTS- ADAYLATE. The Golden Jubilee Saengerfest Got Started Last Night. Opened to an Audience of 10,000 Feople. WAS NEARLY A PANIC When a Board Cracked in the Balcony. Closing Number Included the Star Spangled Banner. Cincinnati, O., June 30. After an exas perating delay of over 24 hours, which caused not a few of Cincinnati's thousands of visitors to leave the city, the opening concert of the Golden Jubilee Saengerfest of the North American Saengerbund was given last night. Within half an hour of the time set for the beginning of the concert carpenters still swarmed through the great auditorium, and the siwins and hammering mechanics and the laborers bearing out debris jostled the white-gowned chorus girls who appeared on time and endeavored to take their places previous ly assigned. TJp to the last minute seats were being erected in the parquet, while a hundred ami rifty feet over the heads of the gathering multitude workmen were closing the last roof opening of the grand dome. But the end of the preparations came at last. As if by magic the hammering and sawing ceased ana the hum of human voices filled the great structure as the crowds gathered at all the doors were admitted. The vast interior of the ball can be de scribed as a many times magnihed egg shell the similarity is in shape only, as the vast beams and springing arches, and the wilderness of geometric braces, sug gest a strength altogether different from egg-shell structure. The effect of such great height .anil such rounled expanse is to bring the audience and the occupants of the stage into eaiiy companionship. Un der the remarkable circumstances of the finishing work on the hall, there was but little opportunity for elaborate decoration. Festoons of evergreen at the upper line where the dome starts and a like festoon ing of red, white and blue on the next line below constituted the decorations. The entire interior was brilliantly illuminated with arc lights. An audience that packed the balcony and almost filled the tiress circle and par quet indicated an attendance of much over ten thousand. The chorus and orchestra numbered over two thousand more. At 8:25. only ten minutes after the desig nated time, applause greeted the appear ance of Louis Khrgott, the musical di rector, and in the hush that followed came the opening notes of Beethoven's conse cration of the house. Pive minutes later the crash of a board in the balcony oppo site the stage, folowed by a woman's scream, started what looked for a min ute like a fearful panic. Portunately good sense prevailed over needless fear. The orchestra did not lose a note, and when quiet, was resumed applause rewarded the cool heads that had restrained the thoughtless ones and averted a catastro phe. The first vocal work given was the "Gloria," from 'The L,ord Is King." by the Cincinanti reception chorus and or chestra. The tesr of the acoustic quali ties of the new ha.' in both the orchestral and vocal numbers indicated success. The closing passage f Barnaby's "Gloria" so thrilled the audience that salvos of ap plause were given. The oratorical efforts seemed equally satisfatory, as in turn the welcoming ad dresses were made in good German by Mayor Tafel. President Bettman of the local committee, and the response by President t'eiltr of the North American Saengerbund. There was a touch of pathos in the song "Herbsleid." by Victor Herbert, sung by the Louisville Liederkranz, Karl Scrnidt, conductor. This is the only remaining member of the original North American Saengerbund. The first solo number fell to Miss Char lotta Maconda, who sang relibe's "Bell Song." Her voice completely filled the great hall and loud recalls came from every part of the house. The concert closed with the prize can tata by Dr. N. J. Elsenheimer of Cincin nati, conducted by the composer. Tt is entit'ed "Weihe der Kuenste" ("Consecra tion of the Arts"). The chorus especially elicited appreciative applause. As the theme pictures America as the fostering home 'of art, the composer ingeniously in troduced at the close, with telling effect, the air of "The Star Spangled Banner." which aroused a high pitch of enthusi asm. The Initial concert was in every way a success. VOLUNTEERS FIRST. Getting Them Home Is to Take Precedence. Chicago, June 30. A special to the Tribune from Washington "says: Under direct orders from the presi dent, every nerve Is to be starined to get the volunteer regiments away from the Philippines without a day's delay. Even the important work of sending reinforcements is to be considered sec ondary to the necessity of returning the volunteers. The president feels that they have been kept too long already and is anxious to see the last man homeward bound. To facilitate the work the administra tion has ordered transports to clear from San Francisco as soon as they can be made ready for sea, whether there are recruits ready or not. They will take reinforcements when there are any ready to sail, but after arrival will hasten back for volunteers without regard to the new recruits for Otis. The president has also authorized the pur chase of two new transports, which will be put into the regular service as soon as they can be equipped. After the volunteers are retired the transports will carry back full loads of regulars and when they are landed will return for the new volunteers." CHINESE OUTRAGES. Britons and Americans Held Up and a Yankee Imprisoned. Vancouver, B. C, June 30. The Brit ish ship Wo On, owned by Banker Co., was held up on May 22 at Kam chuck, on the West river, by 25 masked robbers, who coolly emptied her cargo into junks lying alongside, after which the passengers, many of them British and Americans.were made. to hand over $7,000 in cash. Three Chinese torpedo boats, placed on the river to prevent piracy, were anchored within 500 yards of the scene of the outrage, but made no attempt to assist the merchantman. After the robbery the captain of the Wo On reversed her flag at the mast head, but the torpedo boats steamed by without paying any attention to the signals of distress. Boat captains of the West river held a meeting after the robbery and sent a resolution to Pekin recording the robbery. A strange incident happened in Pekin a few days before the steamer left, in which a brave American citizen figur ed. It appears that Dr. Tung Wing, LL. D., a graduate of Yale, was de coyed from Shanghai by direction of Prince Chang and was imprisoned in the temple. It was given out that the reason was his sympathy with the re form movement. On the eighth day an American disguised as a Chinese at tache of the American consulate enter ed the prison, held up the jailers, cut Yung's bonds with a sword and spirited him away.

FLAGS QUEER JAPANESE IMAGE. Dug Up at Kioto and Sent to Ifew York by Rev. A. D. Gring. New York. June 30. An interesting relic of early Japanese history has just been received at the Church Missions House, Fourth avenue and East Twenty-second street, from the Rev. A. t. Gring. a missionary of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal church, now resi dent in Kioto, Japan. The relic con sists of a rough fragment of stone, like granite, out of which has been carved the form of a human or divine person age, which was apparently an object of worship in one of the temples of the city. In the process of digging a deep -well for the use of St. Agnes' Episcopal sohool, in Kioto, the workmen came up on this stone with its remarkable sculp ture and carefully hoisted it to the sur face. The stone itself, upon one side of which the image has been cut, is about three feet long and a little over a foot in diameter. According to the Rev. Mr. Gring, the donor, the image is a sculp ture of Sugawara-Michisane, who has been called the Confucius of japan, and is not less than 1,004 years old. Sugawara-Michisane belonged to one of the most distinguished families in Japan, about the ninth century of the Chris tian era, and was rendered famous by the great interest he took in promoting the cause of education among his peo ple. Many temples were erected in his honor and students worship his spirit as the patron god of letters and litera ture.

A day or so after, just six days after the wedding, Marks, returning home at 11 a. m., found his bride inebriated, and shot her dead. Then he killed himself, and the terrible honeymoon was over. LETTER FROM SCHLEI. Would Not Run For President or Vice President or Serve if Elected- Dallas, Tex., June 30. One of the most prominent Democrats in Texas, but who declines to permit the use of his name, and who is a close personal friend of Rear Admiral Schley, recently wrote Schley to ask if he would permit the use of his name as a candidate for either president of vice president on the Democratic ticket next year. He today received a reply in which Schley says in part "Even though I were prominent enough to be thought of for the high place you mention, I 'could not be per suaded to accept the nomination, if it were tendered, nor could I be induced to serve if I were elected. I am unable to comprehend how any naval officer, who has no acquaintance with public affairs, could hope to serve his country and his people better in a place for which his entire experience and educa tion unfitted him rather than in his pro fession which has been the thought of his professional life."
