ALL IX GOOD SPIRITS. Thej Look Magnificent and Are Magnificent. Kansas Has Reason to Feel Proud of Her Bojs. LOOSE FOR 4S HOURS Col. Hetcalf Gives His Men Time to Visit And Meet the Many People Anxious to See Them. The following telegram from Gover nor Stanley was received by the State Journal last evening: "The Twentieth Kansas was landed this afternoon and have just marched out to camp. The day is an ideal one. The people along the route gave the loys an ovation. "The members' of the regiment are re markably well, only a" few sick. They are in good spirits. "They are a magnificent looking lot of fellows and as magnificent as they look. Kansas has reason to be proud of her soldiers who served so faithfully in the Philippines and ought to give them a great reception." THE LANDING. California "Welcome Only Second to That of Her Own Troops. San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 12. The Twen tieth Kansas regiment and the 400 dis charged soldiers who arrived here on the transport Tartar were landed after being anchored in the stream all morning dur ing the progress of the health officer's ex amination. Their stay at anchor was made less monotonous by the attentions cif hundreds of people who journeyed as near to the transport as the quarantine regulations would permit, and showered messages and questions upon the boys. Pruit and good things to eat were in abundance passed on board much to the gratification of the soldiers. The inspection was finished early in the afternoon and the word was passed among the soldiers that the vessel would be docked immediately. A great hurrah greeted the announcement and the sold iers commenced their preparations for de barkation. Under the guidance of a powerful tugboat the transport was tow d to the government dock. The water front was black with people. all anxious to greet the Twentieth Kansas. As the Tartar passed slowly along the water front the soldiers were cheered time and again. Flags were dipped and whistles arid calliopes added to The din. The scene in the vicinity of the trans port was an exciting one. Hundreds of relatives arid friends of the discharged "aliforiiia soldiers who accompanied the Kansans home, gathered here to get a few words with the soldiers before they commenced to march. The march to the Presidio reservation was an exciting one for the soldiers. The welcome they received was second only to that accorded the home troops on their return. Both sides of Market street and the other streets hrough which the sold iers passed were thronged with excited people, all anxious to do them honor. Cheers upon cheers passed up and down the lines of people. Cannon were iired at Intervals, bells clanged and whistles and ffteam calliopes added their respective noises to the occasion. Escorted by the following bodies, the Kansans marched to the Presidio: Artillery officers and band from the Iresidio; four companies of ariillerv. General Funston and Governor Stanlev of Kansas and escort followed. The throngs surged around General Funston and he had great difficulty in making progress through the crowds. Cheer upon cheer greeted him but his only ac knowledgment was a militarv salute ami an occasional doffing of his cap. A great break in the parade occurred here and an admiring mass of neople Idled the in terval. The soldiers headed bv Colonel Metcalf followed. Each man carried a eun which had been decorated with tiow er?. Tlle crowds simply would not let the eolaiers pass in peace. Breaks occurred every few minutes. Relatives and friends broke into the ranks and marched with the soldiers, some smiling and laughing Jtnd others crying, but all happy and glad The regimental colors, little the wore for wear, in spite of the arduous campaign through which they passed called forth a tremendous burst of applause when eV,er Ahey were sighted. Taking it all in all the soldiers looked to be in fair liealth. but of course there were some who showed the effects of the severe or i, ,,hrugh which thev have pessed Hrlnging up the rear of the regiment were tlie hospital wagons not very heavily laden with sick. The parade was reviewed on Van Ness avenue by General Shatter. Governor btanley and Governor Rogers of Wash ington and their staffs.

FXTNSION'S VIEWS. Thinks War Should End by Next March. Chicago, Oct. 12. A special to the Times-Herald from San Francisco says: "I see no reason why the Americans should not be sole masters of the Phil ippines by March next year." This is the opinion of Brigadier Gen eral Funston who arrived at the home of his wife in Kast Oakland last night. "The situation in the islands," he said "has reached a stage where it is very easy to se how to cope with it. There must be no temporizing, no wasted sympathy, no foolish sentiment. It must be a case of fight. The Filipinos are now in such a frame of mind that they will not yield until they are thoroughly thrashed and convinced that it is use less to oppose America. "I do not say this unadvisedly. I have given the matter many months of deep study and my knowledge of Spanish en abled me to converse freely with offi cers and prisoners on the rebel side. "We arrived at Manila last December which was two months before hostili ties began. During those two months the officers of the Filipinos frequently came within our lines and I discussed with them every phase of the situation. They were very high minded and gave me the opinion that they were well able to look after themselves and that it was all very well for the Americans to de liver them from the persecutions of Spain, but that, having performed that service, we should be satisfied and let them alone. "The best among them are ignorant. Occasionally I found a smattering of education. But they are absolutely an ignorant race and quite incapable of self-government. "It is true that they possess much shrewdness and are cunning, but in reality the chief trait in their character is treachery. It is this which has en abled them to make as good a showing as they have made, but this is no argu ment nor can it be made so, that they are capable of governing themselves. "Suppose that they were left alone. The islands would be a scene of insur rection without any possibility of re storing peace. Only a strong power can take hold of those islands, subdue the various factions and place them on a solid footing. "I am convinced that the best way to govern the islands is to give them a lirm, stiff-necked colonial government, molded on the same lines as the gov ernment of colonies of. Great Britain. There should be a governor general who should have absolute power over the civil government and also the com mand of the United States troops and any native troops that it may be con sidered judicious to organize. "This may seem strange but I am convinced that as soon as the rebellion is crushed there will be an entire change of heart among a large percent age of natives and they will be quite willing to carry arms under American officers. "With the 35,000 men now down there and the additional 25.000 that will be on the ground when the November campaign opens there will be ample soldiery to walk through the islands. Sixty thousand troops will teach these Filipinos the les son they deserve. But it must not be a campaign of temporizing. It must be ag gressive and persistent from the start. There must be no let up and no opportun ity must be given the rebels, once routed to recover. "The Filipinos are no match for Ameri cans on the battlefield. In one instance at Caloocan. where the Kansas troops were engaged we lost two men while I personally counted 112 dead Filipinos. This is. of course, not a fair comparison but the Americans are certainly as much sup erior under arms to Filipinos as six to one. "The seat of all the trouble at this time is the Filipino Junta at Hong Kong. This pernicious little body is keeping the war alive. It is in communication with the insurgents and it supplies Aguinal do's army with the hope from which it lives. It sends out reports of fearful dis aster to our troops that never occur. It imagines all manner of friendly feeliner the world over toward the Filipinos. It assures them of all kinds of outside sup port without foundation and in this man ner keeps their spirits alive. "TheFilipinos are busiest just now cir culating reports that the trend of public opinion in this country is against the American procedure in the islands. They are informed by this junta that a major ity of all the states have pronounced against the policy of the administration and that they have only to wait until the next general election when the I'nited States will grant them their indepen dence. "Aguin.ildo himself is shrewd but not clever. He circulates and corroborates all that the junta sends out and adds to it all that his cunning imagination can devise. With him the campaign is a great confidence game. If his people could be induced to accept the situation they would desert him tomorrow. "So long as those fellows think thev have a ghost of a show of holding up their end they will maintain the rebel lion and if the American armv fights them at every hand I believe thev will turn as a whole and come flocking in our camp and will have no further use for that prince of confidence operators, Aguinaldo." THE TWENTIETH'S TRIP HOME. Left Manila September 3, Hong Kong September 14, and Yokohama September 25. San Francisco, Oct. 12. The Twenti eth Kansas, after an active campaign in the Philippine of over eleven months, embarked on the chartered transport steamer Tartar at Manila for home Sep tember 3. On the dav of sailing the numerical strength of the regiment was VU8 men and forty-one officers. These were all that were left of the regiment which left San Francisco in May, 1898. On board the Tartar. besides the command under Colonel Metcalf. was Geneial Funston, formerly colonel of the regiment. Colonel Little was in Japan, as was also Lieutenant Whis ner, who expected to join the regiment upon its arrival at Yokohama. The homeward journey began on the afteriuKin of September 3 and the Tar tar sailed into the harbor at Hong Kong three days later. Here the transport was put into dry dock where extensive repairs were made. The regiment spent the time on shore, where the Kansans enjoyed the hospitality of the British troops. The Britons proposed a shooting con test, which was quickly accepted by the Kansans, and although the men from the trenches were beaten, the English men generously acknowledged that their victory was due to the superiority of their guns. At Hong Kong the Kansas band made a great hit and concerts were giv en each day, which were loudly praised by the English colony. United States Consul General Wiid man and Lieutenant Hobson entertain ed several of the officers of the Twen tieth, and their courtesy was recipro cated by General Funston, who gave an informal luncheon on board the tar tar. The date set for leaving Hong Kong was September 13, and on that day the Kansans were ordered on board. Every thing was put in order for sailing and the Tartar's nose was pointed outward, when a most vexatious incident oc curred which might have taken an in ternational turn had not public senti ment in Hong Kong finally overcome the exalted obstinacy of an officious harbormaster. The transport was not given clear ance papers, without which she could not leave Hong Kong harbor. In vain did Colonel Metcalf plead that the har bormaster had no right to delay the homeward voyage of the soldiers. The harbormaster claimed that the tran sport was overcrowded. There was no complaint among the Kansans and the whole trouble was stirred up by the volunteer regulars abroad who found their accommodations somewhat too limited for their personal convenience and who sought to gain greater com fort on the voyage by getting rid of a portion of the Twentieth regiment. In his provoking dilemma, Colonel Metcalf wired the state department at "Washington, but before an answer came the harbormaster changed his mind and allowed the Tartar to leave. It was at Hong Kong that Corporal Robert M. Lee, company F, died of dys entery. The body was embalmed and brought home. Lee lived at Manhat tan, Kan. On the way from Hong Kong to Yokohama the health of the regiment rapidly improved. When the beautiful Japanese seaport was reached a day's delay in landing was caused by the ex asperating delay of the health officers in visiting the transport and passing on the health of the command. At last the troops were allowed to land, and in a few hours hundreds of the Kansas boys were on the trains bound for Tokio, the capital of-Japan. Here they were elaborately entertained by the American colony. On the morn ing of September 25, the Tartar ran out of the harbor of Yokohama and started on her trip to San Francisco. Before leaving Yokohama, two deaths occurred, both privates. John M. Ingenthion of company L, died of dys entery, and John S. Bowman, of the Fourteenth infantry, succumbed to the same disease. For several days out from Yoko hama the sea was quite rough and many suffered keenly, but after the first squally weather was passed the trip was made in comfort. Everyone seemed to improve wonderfully, stim ulated by the bracing sea air and the prospect of once again seeing home and friends. KANSANS TURNED LOOSE. Whole Regiment on Leave For 48 Hours. San Francisco, Oct. 12. The papers here say that next to the California regiment, the Kansas boys were given the most enthusiastic welcome extended to any troops. General Funston rode on horseback with Governor Stanley and Governor Rogers, of Washington, near the head of the column, and he was cheered to the echo by five miles of people. Whistles tooted, cannon, boomed, bands played and the people shouted all the way from the landing place to the camp. The first order issued by Colonel Met calf at the Presidio was one releasing the men from duty for forty-eight hours. They are scattered over the city and visiting friends. On arriving at the Presidio, the regi ment was banqueted by the Montana boys. In a day or so they will be ban queted by the Washington regiment. On Saturday they will be entertained in Oakland by the friends and neighbors of General Funston's father-in-law. There is no open dissension in the regiment. Funston and Little and Metcalf are harmonious. Funston and Major Whit man had not spoken for two months, but at sea they became reconciled, af ter Whitman had asked the general to let bygones be bygones. The men say that Colonel Little was brave and nervy for the brief time he was on the firing line. They whoop at the name of Funston, and declare that the half has not been told about his intrepid conduct. Metcalf is regarded as the best all around soldier in the Eighth army corps. Outside of half a dozen, a "knocker'" can not be found in the regi ment. FUNSTON'S FATHER-IN-LAW. Tells the Story of the General's Rapid Courtship and Marriage. Ran Francisco, Oct. 12. Otto Blank art, father-in-law of General Fred Fun ston, had never seen the general until the latter's return from the Philippines on the hospital ship Solace. Mr. Blankart was in New York when Fun ston and his daughter become engaged, and as they were married two days later, it was impossible for him to reach home for the wedding: and the groom sailed the day after the ceremony. Mr. Blankart today told the story of the courtship. He said: "General Funston then Colonel Fun ston was introduced to my daughter on the San Francisco pier. They, with my wife and younger daughter and some others, had been invited to spend the day with a family at Belvedier. When Funston saw my daughter, he said to himself, as he afterwards told the family, that he would make that girl his wife, or live single all his days. A few hours later he began the attack, and in three weeks the victory was won. "This was on Sunday. Funston ask ed permission to call at our home, which was granted. He called often. The second Sunday following, Funston proposed. Aly daughter rejected on the ground of short acquaintance. He per sisted in his campaign all week, but without success. My daughter admit ted that she was in love with him, but wanted to wait till his return from the Philippines. "The following Sunday Funston, Col onel and Mrs. Metcalf. Lieutenant Col onel Little. Captain Clark and perhaps two or three other Kansas officers were at our house. Funston asked Sadie that's my daughter's name to take a walk around the block. His plan of battle was perfect, and he began the attack with vigor. Well they were married the following Tuesday, and on Wednesday Funston sailed with his troops to Manila. "Am I pleased with General Funston? My boy, I might answer that question by asking you, Who isn't pleased with F"unston? And my daughter she is as Happy as a Big Sunflower," to use the title of an old Kansas song. The Blankarts are Germans, wealthy and very popular. They have a hand some home in Oakland. TWENTIETH OFFICIAL RECORD. Adjutant's Report Gives Regiment's Strength, and Losses From All Causes. San Francisco, Oct. 12. The fololw ing is the summary of the regiment, ac cording to the report of the adjutant showing its aggregate strength and the OH. Boers Occupy Laings Nek and Four Into Natal As Soon as Their Ultimatum Had Expired. IS NO FIGHTING YET British Are Not Fixed to Offer liesistance. Kruger's Forces Mofing In Two Separate Columns. London, Oct. 12. A special from Ladysmith says: The Boers occupied Laings Nek the moment the ultimatum expired. They are now pouring into Natal and Ingogo Heights have been occupied. Official confirmation, of the announce ment that the Orange -Free State burghers have entered Natal by way of "Van Reenens pass is at hand. It leaves no further room for doubt that acts of war have already been committed and that the campaign has begun. News of an invasion on the northern border is also generally accepted as re liable. It seems improbable, therefore, that a clash between the forces of Briton and Boer can long be delayed, if, indeed, it has not occurred already. This morning's dispatches furnish ample details of the situation on the frontier and enable a clearer exposition of the military status. It now seems that the Boers intend to act in two columns, those from the Transvaal working from the north and those from the Orange Free State working from the west with the object of keeping the British forces at Ladysmith and Dun dee occupied while parties of Boers slip past to destroy the bridges along the railway forming the line of communica tion between the British at Durban, Natal, the advanced base at Pieter maritzburg, and the front. It is regarded as possible that the Boers will attempt to occupy Estcourt, where there are only a hundred men of the naval brigade and the news that the Boers are raiding Zululand in the neighborhood of Eshowe, is taken as a confirmation of this possibility. NO IMMEDIATE FIGHTING. New York, Oct. 12. A Tribune spe cial from London ti,.: A state of was has been philosophically accepted since 3 o'clock p. m., London time. Military officers agree that the first act of war will be the invasion of Natal during the night and the occu pation of the battlefields of the first war of independence. Laings Nek and Majuba Hill. As no British force is be lieved to be within fifty miles of the tunnel leading into the Transvaal im mediate fighting is not expected in that quarter. Boer raids against Mafeking and in the rear of the British position at Ladysmith are considered likely, but a military expert scoffed at the idea that the defensive line already occupied could be broken by any attack from the Transvaal. "The campaign will not be a serious one," he said, "until the beginning of December, when Gen. Sir Redvers Buller will be prepared to march through the open country of the Orange Free State and leave Sir George White well entrenched in Natal. The Boers will not be allowed to fight on their favorite battlefields." Mr. Chamberlain's reply to Secretary Reitz's ultimatum is known to be brief and barely civil. His work ended when Reitz's insolent dispatch arrived. There is a general revulsion of feeling throughout the country respecting the whole controversy. The nation is sud denlyunitedasoneman in defense of the empire. The outgoing soldiers received the greetings of excited and enthusias tic multitudes. War is now welcomed, numerical account of officers and en listed men: Aggregate strength of regiment, orig inal muster, officers and men, 1.011; re cruits added, 312; maximum strength, 1,322.

Because All the Good Horses Had Been Reserved. San Francisco, Oct. 12. "Who Is that battalion commander out there on foot?" asked General Shafter, as the Twentieth Kansas marched by his headquarters this afternoon. "That is Lieutenant Colonel Little," answered a staff officer, and thereby hangs a tale. When the Twentieth formed for its march to the Presidio, the officers were told to select horses from the large number which had been sent for their use. Colonel Little se lected a horse which had been set apart for Governor Stanley. At his second selection he chose one which had been reserved for Adjutant General Fox. De clining to make a selection from the lot which had not been reserved, he re turned, angry, to the wharf, and was on foot at the head of his battalion when Colonel Metcalf sent a horse to him by his orderly. This he refused to take, and marched on foot five miles to the Presidio, while every regimental and battalion officer had a mount. When these details were explained to General Shafter, he put both hands across his stomach and laughed. WAR since Kruger has Justified English re sistance to a secession movement with in the empire. The English conscience is no longer disturbed by any misgiv ings respecting the justice and neces sity of war. President Kruger by a single bad stroke has convinced every body except Mr. Stead that the Eng lish have a righteous cause. The great est English battle for the empire since Waterloo is coming on and with 85,000 regulars in South Africa victory will be certain. A well known South African said that while President Kruger was getting old he never had allowed anybody to dic tate policies to him and that It was a mistake to assume that he had been rushed by young and restless burghers. CENSORSHIP ESTABLISHED. New York, Oct. 12. The Commercial Cable company has issued the following notice: "We are advised that the Natal ad ministration announces that a military censorship has been established over messages to and from Natal. Telegrams in code will not be accepted without the production of the code for verifica tion." KRUGER'S TO AMERICA. Chicago, Oct. 12. The following ca blegram was received last night by the Chicago Tribune from President Kru ger of the Transvaal republic. The cablegram was sent in answer to a message from the Tribune requesting a statement of the position of the Transvaal in the present crisis. In the cablegram follows small words have been filled in, in order to make smooth er reading: Pretoria, Oct, 11, 1899. Tribune, Chicago: Through the Tribune we wish to thank our many American friends for sympathy in the present crisis, of the republic. Last Monday we gave Eng land 48 hours notice within which to give assurance that the dispute will be settled by arbitration or other peaceful means. The notice expires at 5 today. The British agent is recalled and war is certain. This is the fitting end of the British policy of force and fraud which has marked all South Africa with the blood of Afrikanders. We must now make South Africa free or the white man's grave. The republic's forces in clude all nationalities, among them a strong American corps, showing it is not a case of Boer against Uitlander, but all nations against the English. We have full faith in freedom and repub licanism, in the righteousness which guides the destinies of nations. PRESIDENT KRUGER. An answer of ten words from the Tri bune to President Kruger giving the time of the receipt of the message in Chicago was prepaid the people in Pretoria being evidently somewhat ap prehensive that the message might not get through. BRITISH ADVANCE. London, Oct. 12. A dispatch from Mafeking under today's date says that Col. Baden-Powell has just sent a strong British force from Mafeking toward the border, with field gun and ambulances, presumably with a view of occupying advantageous defensive high ground. FRANCE IS NOTIFIED. Paris, Oct. 12. Secretary Cander hooven of the Transvaal European agency officially notified the French government this morning that a state of war between the South African re public and Great Britain exists and has exitsed since last evening. GREEN'S FAREWELL TO KRUGER. Cape Town, Oct. 12. News has been received here that the British diplomat agent in the Transvaal, Mr. Conying ham Green, paid his formal farewell visits to President Kruger and the high boer officials at Pretoria last evening. BRITISH RE-ENFORCEMENTS. Durban, Oct. 12. The Imperial re serve in Natal have been called out. Everybody has left Charlestown, the last train bringing away the railway staff to Newcastle while the exodus from Newcastle also continues. The Fifth Dragoons arrived this morning from India, landed immediately and at once proceeded to the front. TO BLOW UP A BRIDGE. Lorenzo, Marquese, Oct. 12. Informa tion has reached here that the Boers have mined three piers of the bridge at Kamiti Port on the Kamiti river. THANKS EUROPE, TOO, London, Oct. 12. As a pendant to his dispatch to America, President Kruger has cabled the Transvaal European agent as follows from Pretoria under date of October 11: "Please convey the heartfelt thanks of the government of the South Afri can republic to their friends in England for the courageous way in which they have defended the cause of right. What ever the outcome may be the two re publics will always gratefully bear in mind the assistance and support shown them in these critical davs." HELP FOR BOERS. London, Oct. 12. According to a dis patch from Cape Town, it is asserted there that the Boers have arranged with Chief Linch-We. a prominent chief of the northwestern border, to take up arms against Great Britain. BURGHERS ENTER CAPE COLONY. London, Oct. 12. The Free State burghers, according to a private mes sage just received in the city of Lon don, have crossed the Orange river into Cape Colony and have occupied Phil ipstown. Their object, it is supposed, is to cut the railway at De Aar junc tion, which is considered an important strategic point. BRITISH ARE PLEASED. London, Oct. 12. The afternoon pa pers express great satisfaction that the American government has undertaken to protect British interests in the Transvaal. They say the Americans are certain to show the same tact and devotion in discharging the responsibil ity which aroused the enthusiasm of "our kin beyond the sea," when the British undertook a similar task in their behalf. A dispatch from Durban says the ar rangements for forming an Outlander corps have been completed. VALENTINE CHOSEN. Ciaj Center Editor Made Clerk of th9 Supreme Court. The members of the supreme court today elected D. A. Valentine of Clay Center, clerk to succeed John Martin. Mr. Valentine will take charge on Octo ber 28. Mr. Valeintine is editor and owner of the Clay Center Times, one of the best weekly papers in Kansas. He is a graduate of the state university and is a son of ex-Supreme Justice D. M. Val entine of Topeka, He has a wide ac quaintance in the state and is consider ed one of the brilliant newspaper men of the state. The election of Mr. Valentine is a recognition of the younger element in Kansas politics and it will give general satisfaction. MINNESOTA'S WELCOME HOME ArriTal of the Yolunteer Regi ment at St. Paul Celebrated With a Banquet and Oratory. ON HISTORIC GROUND. In the Hall Where the Presi dent Wielded the Gayel Orer the Convention Which Nominated Harrison. HE MAKES A SPEECH In Defense of the Policy of Expansion. Minneapolis, Oct. 12. President Mc Kinley and party arrived in this city at 11 o'clock this morning. An im mense crowd assembled at the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul depot to greet the chief executive. As he emerged frem the train tremendous cheering be gan and was taken up by the waiting crowds and carried down the line for blocks. Carriages in waiting conveyed the president and cabinet to the home of Mr. Thomas Lowry. Here a light luncheon was served. Meanwhile the train bearing home the Thirteenth Minnesota volunteers from the Philip pines arrived. The regiment formed in line at the head of Nicollette avenue. Carriages bearing President McKinley and his cabinet drew up and took their positions at the head of the column. The procession moved shortly after 1 o'clock passing down Nicolette ave nue to the center of the city. At Tenth street the president entered the review ing stand, and the Philippine veterans passed before him. As the rear guard passed the review ing stand the president drove to the Exposition building where the principal events of the day took place. Within the building, where the Republican convention of 1892 nominated Benjamin Harrison for president of the United States under the chairmanship of Wm. McKinley, was spread a feast for the Thirteenth Minnesota volunteers. THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. At the conclusion of the banquet President McKinley was introduced by President Cyrus Northrup of the Uni versity of Minnesota. The president said: "The century now drawing to a close has been most memorable in the world's progress and history. Mankind in moral and intellectual advancement has been onward and upward. The growth of the world's material interests is so vast that the figures would almos seem to be drawn from the realm of imagination rather than from the field of fact. All peoples have felt the ele vating influences of the century. Hu manity and home have been lifted up. Nations have been drawn closer to gether in feeling and interest and sen timent. Contact has removed old preju dices at home and abroad and brought about a better understanding which has destroyed enmity and promoted amity. Civilization has achieved great victories and to the gospel of good will there now be few dflssenters. The great powers under the inspiration of the czar of Russia have been sitting to gether in a parliament of peace seeking to find a common basis for the adjust ment of controversies without war and waste. While they have not made war impossible they halve made peace more probable and have emphasized the uni versal love of peace. They have made a gain for the world's repose and Amer icans while rejoicijng in what was ac complished rejoice? also for their par ticipation in the great cause yet to be advanced, we trust to more perfect ful fillment. "The century has blessed us a nation. While it has not given us perfect peace, it has brought us constant and ever increasing blessings and imposes upon us no humiliation or dishonor. We have had wars with foreign powers and the unhappy one at home but all ternv inated in no loss of prestige, or honor, or territory, but a gain in all. "The increase of our territory has added vastly to our strength and pros perity without changing our Republi can character. It has given wider scope to Democratic principles and en larged the area for Republican institu tions. "I sometimes think we do not realize what we have and the mighty trust we have committed to our keeping. The study of geography and history have now more than a passing interest to the American people. It is worth reading that when the federal union was form ed, we held 909,765 square miles of ter ritory and in less than one hundred years we have grown to 3,845,513 square miles. The first acquisition in 1S03, known as the 'Louisiana purchase,' embraced 883,072 square miles exclusive of the area west of the Rocky mountains. Its vastness and value will be best under stood when I say that it comprises the entire states of Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, North and South Da kota and parts of the states of Minne sota, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Louisiana, all of Indian Ter ritory and part of Oklahoma territory. It would seem almost incredible to the present generation that this rich addi tion to the free domain should have been opposed, and yet it was resisted in every form and by every kind of as sault. The ceded territory was char acterized as a 'malarial swamp,' it3 prairies destitute of trees or vegetation. It was commonly charged that we had been cheated by giving $15,000,000 for a territory so worthless and pestilential that it could never be inhabited or put to use; and It was also gravely- assert ed that the purchase would lead to complications and wars with Europea n powers. In the debate in the senaite overthe treaty a distinguished sen ator from Connecticut said: 'The vas'.t and unmanageable extent which the accession of Louisiana will give th United States: the consequent dis persion of our population and the des--truction of that balance which it is so important to maintain between the eastern and western states, threatens, at no very distant day the subversion of our union.' i "A distinguished senator from Dela ware said: 'But as to Louisiana, this new immense unbounded world if it should ever be incorporated into the union, of which I have no idea, and which can only be done by amending the constitution, I believe it will be the greatest curse that could at present be fall us. It may be productive of in numerable evils and especially of ona that I fear to ever look upon. Thus our citizens will be removed to the im mense distance of two or three thous and miles from the capital of the union where they will scarcely ever feel the rays of the general government, thug their affections will become alienated; they will gradually begin to view us a3 strangers they will form other com mercial connections, and our interests will become distinct and I do say that under existing circum stances even supposing that this extent of territory was a desirable acquisition, fifteen millions of dollars was a most enormous sum to give.' "A distinguished member from Vir ginia said: 'I fear the effect of the vast extent of our empire.' "He feared the effects of the increas ed value of labor, the decrease in tho value of lands, and the effect of our climate upon our citizens who should migrate thither. "He feared (though this land was represented as flowing with milk and honey), that this Eaen of the new world would prove a cemetery for the bodies of our citizens. "Imperialism had a chief place in the catalogue of disasters which would fol low the ratification of this treaty and it was alleged that this was the first and sure step to the creation of an em pire and the subversion of the constitu tion. The phrase which is now em ployed by some critics "planetary pol icy,' so far as I have been able to dis cover, first appeared here. Jefferson was made the subject of satirical verse: 'See tiim commence, land speculator, And buy up the realm of nature Towns, cities, Indians, Spaniards, prairies.' "The opponents, however, were in the minority and the star of the republic did not set and the mighty west was brought under the flag of Justice, free dom and opportunity. "In 1819 we added 69,749 square miles, which now comprises Florida and parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. "In 1S45 we received the cession of Texas. It contained 376,937 square mile3 and embraced the state of Texas and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. The next cession was under the treaty of 1848, containing 522,568 square miles, cm bracing the states of California, Ne vada, Utah and parts of Colorado and Wyoming and of the territories of Ari zona and New Mexico. In 1853 we ac quired by the Gadsden purchase 45,445 square miles which embrace parts of Louisiana and Mexico. "The next great acquisition was that of Alaska in 1867, containing 599.44H square miles. This treaty, like that of the Louisiana purchase, was fiercely resisted. When the house had under consideration the bill appropriating the sum of $7,200,00", the amount of pur chase money for Alaska agreed upon by the treaty and the minority report on that bill quoted approvingly an ar ticle which characterized Alaska as a 'terra incognita,' and 'that persons well informed as to Alaska are ungrateful enough to hint that we could have bought a much superior elephant in Siam or Bombay for one-hundredth part of the money with not a ten-thousandth part expense incurred, in keeping the animal in proper condition.' "The minority report proceeded to say 'that the committee, having con sidered the various questions involved and the evidence in regard to this country under consideration are forced to the conclusion that the possession of the country is of no value to the gov ernment of the United States. That it will be a course of weakness instead of power and a constant annual expense for which there will be no adequate re turn. That it has no capacity as an agricultural country. That so far as known, it has no value as a mineral countrv. xhat its fur trado is of insignificant value to us as a na tion and will speedily come to an end. That the fisheries are of doubtful value and that whatever the value of its fish eries, its fur trade, its timber and it3 minerals, they were all open to tha citizens of the United States under ex isting treaties. That the right to gov ern the nation or nations of savages in a climate unfit for the habitation of civilized men, was not worthy of pur chase.' They therefore re port the following resolution: 'Resolved, That it is inexpedient to appropriate money for the purchase of Russian America.' "In the debate in the house a distin guished representative from Massa chusetts said: 'If we are to pay for Russia's friendship this amount, I de sire to give her the $7,200,000 and let her 3 keep Alaska. I have no doubt that at any time within the last 20 years we could have had Alaska for the asking, providing we would have taken it as a gift; but no man, except one insane enough to buy the earthquakes of St. Thomas and the ice fields of Greenland Osould be found to agree to any other terms for its acquisition to this coun try. "The opponents to this treaty were In the minority and that great rich ter ritory from which we have drawn many and many times over its purchase price and with phenomenal wealth yet unde veloped is ours in spite of their opposi tion. "In the last year we have added to the territory of the United States the territory of the Hawaiian islands, one of the gems of the Pacific ocean, con taining 5,724 square miles; Porto Rico containing 3.600 square miles; Guam, containing 50 square miles and the Philippine archipelago, embracing ap proximately 143,000 square miles. This latest acquisition is about one-sixth the size of the original 13 states. It is as large as the combined area of New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Car olina, South Carolina arid the District of Columbia. It exceeds in area all of the New England states. It is almost as large as Washington and Oregon combined and greater than Ohio, Indi ana and Illinois united. Three times larger than New York and three and one-half times larger than the state of Ohio. "The treaty of peace with Spain which gave us the Philippines, Porto Rico and Guam, met with some opposition in the senate but was ratified by that body by more than a two-thirds vote; while in the house the appropriation of $20. 000,000 was made with little or no oppo sition. As in the ease of the Louisiana purchase and Alaska the opponents of the treaty were in the minority and the star of hope to an oppressed people was not extinguished. The future of these rjew possessions is in the keeping of congress and congress is the servant of thp rwonlf That thev will be. retained 1 under the benign sovereignty of the i (Continued on Seventh Page.)

UeTisits Cincinnati and Talks of His Fights. WEIGHS 175 POUNDS. lie Is Anxious to Make Match With Maher. the Brady Has Offered a Fnrse $20,000 For the Erent. ot Cincinnati. Oct. 12. The Enquirer says: Kid McCoy, champion middle weight of the world, was a caller at The Enquirer office last night. The lloosier pugilist fought Joe Choyn ski in Chicago Friday and from there went to Indianapolis where he spent Sun day with his friends and relatives. He came here to look after a little legal business which will keep him here until this evening. McCoy never looked better than he does at the present time. His color is good and he lias taken on several pounds since he was lust in Cincinnati. With his street clothes on MoCov weighed 375 pounds. The enerif-uc Kid, in line with his policy to right any time there is anything to tight for, is now matched fur two con tests and has three or four in prospt.-ct. He is to go M rounds with the Australian Jimmy Kvan at the Broadway Athletic club on the 20th ot this month. On the 27th at St. Louis, just one week later, he is to meet Billy Stilt in a twenty round contest. About the middle of November he will go 2u rounds with Peter Maher. the Irish champion. The latter match is as good as made, although it is, in a measure, contingent on 1'uzsimmon's iinal action ill regard to the Kid's challenge. Of course, if Fitzsimmons covers McCoy's deposit and makes a match the negotia tions for a contest with Maher will be declared off. As Fitz has already declar ed that he will not accept McCoy's chal lenge, and there is no reason to believe he "will chance his mind, it is almost a sure thins that Peter and the Kid will meet. A contest between this pair will prove a great drawing card. McCoy is a big favorite with the lighting public, and there is no man in the business that has a stronger pull in pugilistic circles than the Irish champion. "To show that Hilly Brady thinks well of the drawing powers of Maher and my self." said McCoy yesterday, "ho has of fered a purse of JL'o.utio." "iJid you accept the offer?" "Certainly I did. but of course my ac tion will be guided by Fitzsimmons," said McCoy. "I have Sl.OiO posted with a New York newspaper binding my chal lenge to Fitz. I'll nsht him at the middle weight limit or I'll take him at catch weights." "How about Julian's claim that you wanted the purse split?" "That is simply a subterfuge," was the reply. "He don't want Fitz to meet me and that is only an excuse. "Why should I ask Fitz to split the purse? 1 never ask ed any tighter to split with me. There is no reason why I should make such a re Quest. I never went in a ring that I didn't think T would win. There isn't a man in the world that I think has anything on me. I told you about a year ato that Erne would be the light weight champion and that I would be the middle weight and heavy weight champion of the world. Erne has made good, and I am going to do the same." "In Maher you will have a dangerous opponent." was suggested. "I know I will. Maher is just about as hard a proposition as any of them," was the reply. "He is such a tough customer that you don't see Sharkey. Jeffries, Fitz or any of them looking for his game. They all seem to think he is a good man to duck. I'll meet Maher and if I whip him, which I think I will undoubtedly do, I'll go after the others hammer and tongs. They sidestep Peter, but if I whip him they will have a hard time getting away from me. I will be after the champion for a match." CHANGE THE NAME. Western Basaball League Will Here after Be Known as the American League. Chicago, Oct. 12 The Western Baseball league is now of the past and in its place is the American Baseball league, organ ized at the annual meeting of the West ern Baseball league held "Wednesday at the Great Northern hotel. The question of the change of the name of the league occasioned much discussion but was fin ally settled by a unanimous vote in the affirmative. The meeting of the league was long and when the magnates adjourned they had not completed all they had laid out on their programme and will convene again today at 10 a. m., to complete their work. President Ban Johnson called a meeting of the board of directors of the league, which considered awarding the pennant iu the Western League which went to Indianapolis. The other clubs finished in the following order: Minneapolis, LVtroit, Grand Rapids, St. Paul. Milwaukee and Kansas City and Buffalo ties for seventh place. The board also heard the report of the treasurer, Ban Johnson and adopt ed it. The board of directors appointed for next year are: J. H. Manning, C. H. Saulspaugh. w. F. G. Oolt, G-. A. Vander beck and President Johnson. President Johnson was authorized to make the schedule for l:t'Q and the regu lar meeting for considering the same will be held March 14 in Chicago. The matter of transportation for the clubs was also referred to President Johnson. President Johnson was instructed to write the national board of arbitration, asking a revision of the national agree ment, changing the drafting season to two years and the drafting price to ?1.0tXI instead of $oiK. The per cent of the total receipts of the year were divided among the clubs of the league in the following order: Minneap olis, Kansas City. Indianapolis, Milwau kee. Letroit. Buffalo, Columbus and Grand Kapids tied, and St. Paul. The amount of hnes paid during the year is 1TGOVEKN AND RICHIE. The Fair Will Mast Again, This Time In St. Louis. St. Louis. Oct. 12. President Haughton of the West Knii club yesterday announc ed one of the most important rights of the year, which is to take place in this city within a month. He has matched Terry McGovern, the Brooklyn boy who has fought his way to the top of the so called bantam class, though he is really a feather-weight and Johnnie Richie, the best tighter St. Louis has ever turned out. Kichie met McGovern once before and lasted but a couple of rounds. The battle was fought in the open air arena of the Westchester Athletic club and P.ichie was not at his best at the time. Despite this, so good a juiltje as Sam Austin found much in his style and methods to admire and stated that should the pair meet again McGovern would have his hands full taking care of Richie. The date of the fight has not yet been announced, but it will be early in November, about a week later than the McCoy-Stift and Flannagan-Leon battles, which are sched uled for October 27. FOB, THE KENTUCKY STAKES. Extasy Won Handily in Straight Heats at Lexington. Lexington. Ky., Oct. 12. The Kentucky stake was the feature of the trots Wed nesday and Major H. C. McOowelis grand filly Extasy was the favorite over a good field, selling at 25, the field bring ing 10. There was little betting at these odds, as the race seemed a gift to the filly. She proved worthy of confidence, winning handily in straight heats. She was never extended and the race was a Lrocessioa in buU hea.u. Alaiaour was another favorite to land money; He was a mild first choice, bringing only 13 to the field's 25. He won the first heat and for the second was a hot favorite. Malzour took the next two heats and the race easily. The 2:19 trot was the only well spiit-heat event of the day. The well played second choice. Glory, took the race after dropping the first heat to Klletwood. The favorite. Cutting, could do no better than third money. The track was slow, as a drizzling rain had fallen during the night.

Jeffries Describes His Favorite Blow For a Knock-Out. BY JAMES J. JEFFRIES. New York. Oct. 12. Every lighter In the ring today, more or less, has his favorite -tactics by which he believes he can ac complish his end in a ring contest. In training the idea of how to hit an effec tive blow and get away without serious damage is given considerable attention bv the boxers. Of course, one particular blow or any other single method will never win a battle. A fighter must have the necessary strength -and science to succeed in his effort. My favorite blow, when engaged in a battle, I believe is the most effective blow when landed properly. It is a low left swing for the body, but carried to the jaw before it lands. 1 start the blow evidently for my opponent's body, but instead of swinging it straight I lift it up to the jaw. The blow is back ed up with the force of my whole body, and if it lands properly things are likely to end in a hurry. I have tried the blow repeatedly and have never failed to send it in. It is de livered with such force that it will pene trate the cleverest defense and inflict damage to the spot reached. Some times I let the left slip to the body to throw off mv opponent and the latter can never tell where it will land. I tried it on Fitz simmons successfully and I have varied the blow somewhat fur Sharkey, and when he comes in contact with the left he will begin to think of home and mother. WOMEN CYCLISTS RACE. Eight Riders in the Long Distance Contest at Kansas City. Kansas City, Oct. 12. With the cheers of 6,000 spectators ringing in their ears, the speediest female bicycle riders started on their long race in Convention hall last night. There were eight riders who started when Manager Jack Prince fired a pis tol shot, announcing that the great race had begun. The contestants were the fastest female riders who have ever appeared in this country and it was the first time that such a number of fam ous riders ever met on the same track. Those who entered were: Tillie An derson, champion of America; Ida Pet erson, of Minneapolis, who has a mile record of 1:59; May Allen, champion of England; Lisette, champion of France; Carrie Olson, the "Terrible Swede," who has a mile record of 1:59; Roise Kline, champion of Kansas City; Alice Adams, of St. Paul, who has a mile record of 2:00 flat and Lizzie Glaw, the champion of (Germany. The feature of last night's racing was the wonderful riding of Tillie Anderson. She proved to be the fastest sprinter that has ever appeared before a Kan sas City audience. She led the "bunch" almost the entire time and seemed to take delight in scoring the other riders. Lizzie Glay, May Allen and Ida Pet erson kept close to the American cham pion, but on the short spurts they were distanced. The race started at 9:02, and the wo men rode an hour and a half. In the toss-up for positions Carrie Olson, the "Terrible Swede," drew the inside and led the front division with Lisette, May Allen and Ida Peterson. Carrie Olson got a good start but Tillie Anderson soon went to the front. Iiosie Kline lost one lap in the first three miles, and at the fourth mile Lisette made a great spurt that compelled Tillie Anderson to work hard to keep her position. The first five miles were covered in 13:17. with Tillie Anderson in the lead and Lizzie Glaw a good second. Alice Adams, the St. Paul girl, dropped out at the fifth mile and did not return until the ninth. She again left the track at the eleventh mile and did not appear again during the evening. The first ten miles were covered in 27:27 with Lisette leading, Ida Peterson second and Tillie Anderson third. May Allen led at the fifteenth mile, which was passed in 42:07. Lizzie Glaw headed the procession at the twentieth mile, and this mark was passed in 07:17. May Allen had things all her own way at the twenty-fifth mile. This distance was made in 1:10:35. Tillie Anderson led at the thirty mile point. The time caught was 1:25:23. The finish was the most exciting that has ever been witnessed in Kansas City. At the beginning of the last lap every rider was striving for the lead. Lizzie Glaw and Carrie Olson made phenomenal sprints, but were distanced by Tillie Anderson, who finished first by a wheel. The others finished in the following order: Lizzie Glaw, May Al len, Ida Peterson, Lisette, Rosie Cline, and Carrie Olson, who fell on the last turn. The distance covered in the ninety minutes was thirty-one miles and ten laps. Racing will continue every evening until the close next Monday night. The riders will be on the track one and one half hours each evening. HARVARD NOT PLEASED. Her Team That is to Meet Fennay is Not Yet Selected. Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 12.

Returned to Private Life Rather Than Oppose His Party. Washington, Oct. 12. Former Speak er Reed talked freely to a southern Re publican representative on the causes which compelled him to quit public life. Mr. Reed is totally out of harmony with the administration on the Philippine policy, and believes that the Republican party, if it carries out the present plan of subjugating the Filipinos by military power, will meet with, disaster in the elections next year. It was made quite clear In Mr. Reed's conversation that his retirement was not due primarily to any professional opportunity which offered itself. Such opportunities have been open to him for many years. He was not a victim of political disappointment; he long fore saw the impossibility of his nomination in 1S96, but it became apparent to him during the Spanish-American war that he could not continue to occupy his con spicuous position in the Republican party and maintain his self-respect. He realized that he was in a minority; that as a party leader he would necessarily have to become an element of discord or return summarily to private life, and he chose the latter course. Mr. Reed believes that the outcome of the Spanish-American war did not nec essarily entail the programme that has been followed in the Philippines. It has been known from Speaker Reed's letter to his constituents retiring from office and from other remarks made by him that he was not in accord with the ad ministration, but his expressions in this conversation have made his dissent seem more marked than ever before. i A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E.

SITUATION GLOOMY. At Manila All Realize a Change Is Imperative. Says We Hare Accomplished Nothing Thus Far. San Francisco, Oct. 12. Major J. J. Wisenburger of the First Washington volunteers, who arrived on the trans port Pennsylvania from Manila, sum marized the situation in the Philip pines in these words: "The insurgent forces are better arm ed, better provisioned and better in trenched today than when the rebellion broke out. I am sorry to have to ad mit that our commanders have been outgeneraled by the Filipino leaders, but such is the fact. The sort of cam paign which is being carried on in the islands will never end the war." Major Wisenburger knows the condi tions as they existed in the islands from December 2, 1S98, when the Washington troops landed at Manila, until Septem ber 30, 1899, when they were withdrawn to board the Pennsylvania. Major Wis enburger was off the firing line but three hours. In every one of the thirty seven engagements in which the Wash ington troops participated Major Wis enburger was at the front. The men relate innumerable Incidents in which he displayed bravery and seemed un conscious of the Mauser bullets "which pattered like hail about him. "The citizens of the United States have no idea of the difficulties under which our troops labor in the Philip pines," continued Major Wisenburger. "Before the fighting commenced on the 4th of February, I was field officer of the day in the Paco district, where the severest fighting afterwards took place. Days before a gun was fired I reported that the insurgents were throwing up intrenchments and fortifying their po sition in every way. My report came to the notice of General Otis, but he did nothing. "Day after day I rode along the in surgent lines and watched them at work on the trenches, from behind which they afterward killed and wounded so many of my brave boys. A week before the rebellion broke out I knew that all hope of peace was ended. Again I reported the activity in the in surgent camp told of the strong forti fications they were preparing and ask ed permission for my troops to dig trenches and prepare for the unavoid able conflict. REQUEST REFUSED. "My request was refused. A few days later, at midnight of February 4, I lay with my battalion in an open field be side blockhouse No. 11, trying to dis lodge the rebels from their secure in trenchments, while men were being killed and wounded all around me be cause our position was not properly for tified. Captain Otis of company A went into this fight with sixty-eight men. Before the morning twenty-two had been killed or wounded. "The American people do not realize the gravity of the Philippine situation. The entire Thirteenth regiment of reg ular infantry dropped their arms, their haversacks and their baggage, and fled like sheep before a midnight insurgent attack. It was not the fault of the men. When they have had a soldier's training they will be the equal of any men in the islands. They were bundled aboard their transport before they knew how to load their guns. When the ship reached Manila they disembarked at once, and, without any drilling what ever, "were marched to the firing line GOOD DOCTORS Are Quick to See and Appreciate Real rierit In any Preparation.

They are an unfailing specific in all cases of dys pepsia and disordered digestion. Almost everybody's digestion is dis ordered more or less, and the common est thing they do for it is take some one of the many so-called blood puri fiers, which In many cases are merely strong cathartics. Such things are not needed. If the organs are in a clogged condition, they need only a little help and they will right themselves. Cath artics irritate the sensitive linings of the stomach and bowels and often do more harm than good. Purging is not what is needed. The thing to do is to put the food in con dition to be readily digested and as similated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly digest what is eaten and give the stomach just the help it needs. They stimulate the secretion and excretion of the di gestive fluids and relieve the congested condition of the glands and membranes. They put the whole digestive system in condition to do its work. When that is done, you need take no more tablets, unless you eat what does not agree with you. Then take one, or two tab lets give them needed help, and you will have no trouble.

'We have accomplished nothing after a year's fighting In the Philippines. The Insurgents, led by Emiuo Aguinal do, a natural fighter, have held their own yes, more than held their own. A dozen campaigns carried on as the pre vious ones have been will not end the war. "I see that there is talk of replacing Otis with General Miles. I hope this is done. Miles is the man for the job. Our present dilly-dallying policy must be changed before the insurrection is subdued. We have good fighters among the regiments in the Philippines. Despite their superior intrenchments we beat them decisively when we were allowed to fight them. A campaign in which we drive the natives from their trenches only to return after a week, and drive them out again, will not do. The Washington regiment captured a trench defended by 3,5oo rebels. I hope that Miles will be sent to the Philip pines." Many of the troops who came home on the transport Pennsylvania severely arraign General Otis. A Newell.Fourth cavalry, troop E, said: "General Otis is troubled with 'cold feet.' He is never seen at the front, while other generals are always in evi dence. His management in other re spects is lax and discreditable. Dis charged August 23, we were obliged to wait a month for a transport, paying our own expenses. A bare floor was the best sleeping quarters the government could provide for discharged men. There is no doubt that we were held there and treated as we were in the hope that we would get broke and re enlist." George E. Fleming, First North Da kota infantry, Company I: "From the very beginning the cam paign has been a false alarm. Otis is utterly incompetent. This ortinlon pre vails, not only In the ranks, but among the officers. He should be given a farm to manage." George Hubbard.Fourteenth infantry. Company L: "Otis Is wholly unfit. He is a fool or a knave, and I am not sure which term should be applied to him." Private C. C. Jackson, company F, First Washington: "I have seen the statements made by many returning regarding otis, and it is my belief that not one unjust com plaint has been registered against him. On the contrary, I doubt if half the stories of Otis' mismanagement have been told." By the Pennsylvania comes news that General Otis has filed charges of cow ardice, incompetency and looting against Colonel Wholley of the Wash ington volunteers. It is alleged that at Pasig Colonel Wholley used the bulk of his command as a bodyguard, send ing two companies across a creek in the dark to attack the insurgents. Captain Forston and two privates were killed, and Colonel Wholley Is held responsible for their deaths. The specifications in regard to the looting charge have not been made public. Colonel Wholley is a Democrat, and his friends allege that he is being perse cuted in the interest of Lieutenant Col onel Fife. An Investigation of his case will be called for by members of con gress at the forthcoming session. Relief in Six Hours.

The following is taken from the Daily Sentinel of Rome, New York: "This season's work of making sugar at the First New York Beet Sugar works in this city will begin tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock. A double boat load of 3S0 tons of sugar beets arrived from Newark and is being unloaded at the factory. To facilitate the unloading of beets an additional horse derrick has been provided and a second one of the same class is to be put in use. These, with the movable steam derrick, will considerably facilitate the unloading of beets from canal boats. "Farmers and cattle feeders have learned that the beet pulp product is a valuable and cheap feed for stock, and already orders have been received for many carloads to be shipped east and west from here at the price of Jl per ton, which is the same as the local farmers have heretofore paid. "Before starting the factory today the new superintendent, Elwood S. Peffer, A. C, who, by the way, is a son of ex United States Senator Wm. A. Peffer of Kansas, tested all the appliances and machinery in the factory and put the same in perfect order for operation. Mr. Peffer's experience as superintendent of the Chino, California, beet sugar fac tory, and his comparison of the beets there with those grown here, leads him to the opinion that the beets raised in central New York are unexcelled for purity, even in California. The purer the beet the easier the extraction of sugar." Robbed the Grave. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: T was in an awful condition.

DISCOVERED AT LAST. AVas Put Ashore by Col. Fun ston at Honolulu. Returned to Meet Regiment and Marry Her Soldier. The San Francisco Call prints a four- I column illustrated story about a Kansas girl following the Kansas regiment in the guise of a man and being discovered and nut off the vessel at Honolulu. The P. J. Moore referred to appears in the j roster of Co. K, and his address is given as "Waverly. The Call says: Sadie te 1-ande, who is called also "White after her foster parents, will wed P. J. Moore, private in the Twentieth Kansas regiment as soon as the troop ship Tartar which left Manila nearly a month ago with that regiment aboard shall arrive at this port. Miss Iande and her betrothed have had a sensa tional pre-nuptial honeymoon together the btorv of which is now made public. 'Sadie De LanJe was of that turn of mind which longs to do something new under tiie sun. Such a turn of mind in men is called enterprise or the spirit of adventure. In women it is called by harsher names. She desired an adven ture which would make Mrs. Grundy choke with horror and she found it. "After graduating at a high school in Kansas, Sadie, who was an orphan, was sent by her foster parents to an academy in St. Louis. Rules were strict and un conventional Sadie was kept in a straight jacket of uiscipline. She did not like to be so checked and curbed and resolved that to free herself she would take a hus band. "During a vacation spent with her cou sins at Coffey ville, Kansas, she met P. J. Moore. Moore had already enlisted in the Twentieth Kansas and was about to come to San Francisco with his regiment. It was agreed that Sadie should go with him. A soldier's haneee. she thought, might travel with the regiment in dis guise. Passes are not granted to women on military trains. "Sadie made herself a uniform and sat up nights with her needle that It might be done in time. Her hair was shingled and when she put on the uniform she was of a soldierly height and tigure. In that garb and secure from discovery she trav eled to San Francisco. "At Camp Merritt she devoted herself to a study of the military life. Discipline was rather lax in the regiment, in those davs. she says, and she was able to fall Into line and drill with the companv with out much danger of detection. She de clares that she took readily to the work and was one of the most graceful sold iers in the awkward souad. Once she fainted during a prolonged drill, but her Bex was k-pt a secret. "When the regiment went board the transport Indiana Sadie was still in the ranks. Two days out from port, how ever, the guarded secret came out. She Wits discovered, court martialed and put sishore at Honolulu. There she passed a year very pleasantly, although far from her soldier betrothed, whom she speaks of familiarly as P. J. "Miss Ie Lande is now in this citv. She came hither on the Mariposa last week. T was delighted witli Honolulu.' she paid, "and there- was only one reason which could induce me to leave it. I have an appointment to marry p. J. in this city as soon as the Tartar comes in.' "In personal appearence Sadie is rath er pleasing. She is tall and has a girlish Her speech is that of an educated woman. My experience has changed mv opin ions and ambitions.' she said last night, 'and I advise, no girl to imitate mv ex j'li.its. Xot to count seasickness and the fear of detection. th-re is the intense hu miliation of discoverv to deter one. All the romance has left my head. But I had a remarkable time. 'Before 1 boarded the train in Kan sas P. J.' called at the house to see if 1 h id lost my courage and resolution. He found me ail equipped. 1 had on mv feet a pair of Krench-heeled boots.

'At Camp Merritt one or two o' the boys were let into the secret and they shielded me. When we were on the In diana at the clock I g.-t a great frisrht ord came that there was to be a check roll call. In the excitement, however I managed to stow myself away and thus eluded the officers. Discovery came all of a sudden. Col onel Funston in person with a guard of Jour men came down upon me on tile second day and carried me awav in ig nominious arrest. As 1 was marched up to the hurricane deck, two guards ahead and two behind, you should have seen the officers' wives stare at me. That was an ordeal.' 'But did you not think of the Impro priety of your conduct?'

'As long as the transport remained in port I was watched, but the caution was unnecessary, for I would never have gone tm that ship again while the chaplain's wife remained there. 'Instead of returning at once to the T'nited States I procured a position as governess to Mrs. Podmore's children. With them I remained until I sailed a few weeks ago on the Mariposa, They were verv kind to me at Honolulu.' 'And now?'

The company comes to Topeka after a long engagement in Denver and a week's engagement in Kansas City. In Denver the papers stated that better grand opera had never been heard there, and the Kansas City press is generous in praise of the company. The prices range from $1.T0 down, the same as In Kansas City. The sale of seats will open Fri day morning. EXPORTS GAINING. Increase Shown Over September of Last Year. Washington, Oct. 12 The monthly bulletin of the exports of domestic bread stuffs, provisions, cotton and mineral oils, Issued by the bureau of statistics for the month of September, 1HM, with comparisons with September, 1S!S, shows as follows: Bread stuffs, $25,140,471, Increase $2, 2S4.667.

A close friend of the Vanderbilt family today made the following prediction as to what the con tents of the will of Cornelius Vanderbilt would prove to be: "I understand that it will closely fol low the lines of that of his father. Wil liam H. Vanderbilt. Mrs. Vanderbilt will get the Fifth avenue residence and the "Breakers" at Newport for life, and an income of $300,000 a year to keep them up. These houses and the income allotted to Mrs. Vanderbilt will at her death pass to the third son, Reginald. The five children will receive $10,000,000 apiece, and the residue of the estate will be divided into equal parts, one of which will be given to Cornelius and the other to Albert Gwynne Vanderbilt. The whole property will be made a trust estate for a term of years. Mr. Vanderbilt was, I think, far richer than he was popularly supposed to be, and I believe the shares of his two oldest sons will be ovqr $50,000,000 apiece." A Supreme Test.

New Roa3 Will Be Known as Denier Southwestern. Railroad News of a General and Local Nature. !As long ago as last spring, the State Journal announced that the Midland Terminal and Florence Cripple Creek railroads had decided to consolidate, and that the consolidation would be carried out as soon as the details could be arranged. It was an exclusive story, and was re printed In the Denver papers at the time simply as a rumor. Today the following Associated Press dispatch was sent out from Denver: "The Midland Terminal and the Flor ence Cripple Creek railroads will consolidate about November 1 and form a new railroad, which will bear the name of the Denver Southwestern. The newly completed plan of La Bella mill, water and power company at Goldfield, three fourths interest in the metallic extraction company's cy anide plant near Florence and other large properties in the Cripple Creek district will be included in the combin ation. The formation of the company, which is capitalized at $4,923,000 hangs upon the issuance of $3,500,000 worth of general mortgage gold bonds bearing 5 per cent interest for thirty years. These bonds have been taken up by Montgomery, Kawlins Co., bankers, of Boston." SAN MARCIAL HIT HARD. Santa Fe Abolishes Shops There and Moves Material to Albuquerque. The rumor that San Marcial would lose the railway shops, received the of ficial approval of the Santa Fe man agement last Thursday, and before the day was over the work of shipping ma terial to Albuquerque was under way, says the San Marcial Bee. A few of the employes are already on the retired list, and from now on until the last of October, the force will be cut till only thirty-seven men out of the total 126 will be left to tell the tale of San Marcial's past glory and future gloomy prospects. Six coal cars, one caboose and three engines now on hand will receive the necessary repairs and then the order of dismissal will be in full force, and only a sufficient number of mechanics will remain to attend to emergency repairs. The work that has been carried on here will in future be done at the Albu querque shops, and a few of the dis charged men may find employment there; but no pledge of this character has been given, so that the eighty-nine discharged men will have to spread out and seek new jobs. This misfortune to San Marcial Is bad enough in itself, but the sure thing story of what is to follow the transfer of the divisional headquarter to Rincon will give the finishing touches to the town as a commercial center of any Im portance. At first glance It looks as if the town has been harshly treated by the rail road company, particularly as the blow fell almost without warning; but a sen sible person will admit the right of the Santa Fe people to manage their busi ness in their own way, and see in this movement only the carrying out of a policy of concentration that is being followed by all the big railway concerns in the country. Many of the hard-working and indus trious mechanics let out own their homes here, and a few of them have payments falling due thereon. These people will be the greatest sufferers by the change, for property will neither sell nor rent. The business men fully realize the position in which they find themselves, and some have already countermanded large eastern orders for goods. From any standpoint in which the situation is viewed, no bright lining can be observed in the dark cloud; but be fore the dawning of the new year, the situation will be fully understood by many, and plans laid to hug the ad vantages of other towns, whose future does not entirely depend upon the fluc tuating plans of railway corporations. ABUNDANCE OP WORK. If Men Are Now Idle They Are So From Choice. Denver, Oct. 12. With a scarcity of cars, a scarcity of labor and shiftless ness among such men as are willing to work, the railroads everywhere are having a hard time. The demand for railroad laborers is greater in Denver now than it has ever been before. An employment agent said yesterday that he could easily find places for 300 men every day in the week. The Rio Grande, the Burlington, the Colorado Southern, the Union Pacific, all have track improvements going on in the district supplied from Denver and are making every effort to get men. High wages in the railroad work are counterbalanced by equally high wages in farm work and other' less arduous lines of business. Consequently, the moment the railroads carry men into any district to work on the track, the farmers and shop keepers come with offers of better positions, and the men quit. With the approach of winter, and the end of harvesting, it is expected that the stringency in the labor market will be relieved. OLD CARS RESURRECTED. Union Pacific Compelled to Put An cient Equipment In TTse. Laramie, Wyo., Oct. 12. About a year ago, when the Union Pacific company purchased several hundred new box, stock and coal cars, about a thousand old cars, of small capacity, were stored on the soda lake tracks. The company thought it would never have any fur ther use for the old cars and order3 were given to bralce them up. For some unknown reason the work of de stroying the cars was delayed and a few days ago the officers of the Union Pacific, being hard pressed for cars to handle the immense traffic of the road, gave orders to haul the old cars to this place, have them repaired, inspected and placed in service. The old small capacity stock cars have been fitted up for shipping sugar beets in Nebraska from the farm to the factory. This was done by cutting out part of the sides, making a place through which the cars can be loaded and unloaded. Then a lot of the old cars were placed in the coal trade. which is on the Jump. Railroad men say that had the company destroyed these cars, thousands of dollars would have been lost during the present rush of business, as new cars could not be built in time. It is estimated that the old cars will earn enough this fall to pay for an equal number of new cars. O. E. T. STRIKE LIKELY. Trouble Between Telegraphers and Big Four May Result Seriously. St. Louis, Oct. 12. Within less than a week there is a strong probability that a strike of the telegraphers of the Big Four Railway will be declared. In fact, the telegraphers of that system who are members of the Order of Rail way Telegraphers have been sent slips to vote for or against a strike, and these votes have been requested to be cast not later than October 13. With the telegraphers of the Big Four svstem are allied the conductors, the brakemen and the Order of Railway Trainmen. The engineers have refused to become an ally of the telegraphers. The cause of this unusual movement upon the part of the telegraphers is a demand for a raise of wages and a de mand for a conference by the officers cf the Railway Telegraphers with the officials of the Big Four. The teleg raphers claim they have been refused a conference by the railroad officials, and in order to get a hearing have request ed the members of the order working on the system to vote upon the question of a strike. Secretary Sawyer of the general grievance committee of the Order of Railway Telegraphers has stated that over half of the vote of the member ship of the organization is in and that 90 per cent of this vote favors a strike on the part of the telegraphers if the demands of the body are not adhered to by the Big Four company. Secretary Sawyer says that already there is a suf ficient vote to call for the meeting of the federated board, which includes the trainmen, conductors and firemen. RATES RESTORED. New Schedule For Missouri Points Goes Into Effect Sunday. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 12. Water and rail rates from New York and other coast points to this part of the country will be restored to the old basis on October 15, which means that the Missouri river points lose their prestige as distributing points for the Northwest, and St. Louis and Chicago get it back. Several months ago when the all-rail rates were $1.47 per 100 on first-class freight, and sea-and-rail rates $1.37 on the same class, other classes being pro portionately lower, the Port Arthur Route wanted 11 cents more differential and the other gulf roads followed close ly, which mean that Omaha got the re duction through the Missouri Pacific. The cutting kept on until for several months the sea-and-rail rates have been 80 cents, although the all-rail rates re mained at $1.47. But now the sea and all-rail rates go back to $1.37, and the Missouri river again becomes the bas ing point. NEW COLORADO ROAD. WorK to Start on the Short Route Line to Cripple Creek. Colorado Springs, Oct. 12. John I. Franklin returned today from New York city, where he went on business connected with the Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs railway, commonly known as the short line. What he ac complished is not given out, but it is known that a force of men will be sent out tomorrow morning to strike the grade, over the route for which the sur vey was made several months ago. The survey as it is at present, will take the road from Colorado City through the Bear Creek canon, past the Seven Lakes, and through Byson park to Cameron, where the connection will be made with the district electric rail way.

The Rio Grande has completed arrangements for its part of the fast time to be made from Chicago to San Francisco. The new schedule will go into effect Sunday morning. Trains Nos. 1 and 2 will make the time from Grand Junction to Den ver in running time of 11 hours and 20 minutes, or an average speed across the continental divide of one mile in each one and one-half minutes. Each train will be allowed only 20 minutes for all stops between Grand Junction and Denver, a distance of 456 miles.

The Southern Pacific schedule is three hours faster than the present schedule. The Rock Island and Burlington are expected to go from Denver to Chicago in four hours less time than at present. This will make the 12-hour reduction in running time necessary to meet com petition on other lines. SANTA FE MEN DISAGREE. Asa Result Georga Conride Has His Head Split Open. Geo. Conride and Raemont Mateis, both of whom work in the Santa Fe yards, had a misunderstanding late Wednesday afternoon and as a result Conride had to have six stitches taken in his head, where he was struck by an iron bar by Mateis. The trouble happened this way: Con ride was loading a push cart at the store house, and Mateis, together with a helper, came up with another push cart, and ordered Conride to move out of his way so that he could get past. Conride didn't see that it was neces sary for him to move, as his cart was heavily loaded and there was plenty Your body must have force, nervous force, mus cular force, digestive force.

Mateis thought differently and as an inducement for Conride to move, he picked up an iron bar about three feet long and hit him over the head with it, cutting an ugly gash and causing the blood to spurt out and flow down over his shirt. At first it -was thought that Conride was seriously hurt, but after going to the hospital and having his wound washed and dressed, it was found that it was only a bad flesh wound. Conride will be laid up for a few days until his head gets well. Win. Swain Hurt. Wm. Swain, of the truck department, was the victim of a painful accident Wednesday afternoon. He had one of his hands caught between the angle iron and the frame, and badly mashed. The flesh was nearly torn off one of his fingers. He was taken to the hospital to have his hand dressed.

The special 'train bearing the presidential party arrived in Chicago last evening from Evans ville, Ind., and was at once started on the journey north. At every station between Evansville and Chicago the crowds were large and enthusiastic and at most of them the president made brief remarks. Among the first to greet the president at Terre Haute was the venerable Rich ard W. Thompson, secretary of the navy in the cabinet of President Hayes and now nearly 94 years of age. At Terre Haute President McKinley made a brief talk, referring particular ly to the improved conditions of the working men whom he saw everywhere about him. Secretaries Long, Gage, Hitchcock and Wilson and Attorney General Griggs also spoke at Terre Haute, and in all of the speeches there was much of a partisan nature. Attorney General Griggs said: "Three years ago some prophetic in dividual with great audacity proclaim ed that the distinguished man you have just listened to was the advance agent of prosperity. For several months af ter that audacious prophesy some peo ple were disposed to make fun of the prophet. As Elijah rallied the prophets of Baal, so they rallied our prophet and said: 'Where is this prosperity that you foretell? Why does it delay its coming? Possibly it is asleep. Per chance it has gone on a long journey. Maybe it has mistaken the road.' But, my friends, he whom that prophet with wise foresight called the advance agent of prosperity has been today and for a week past traveling through this migh ty west and has found that the storm of prosperity has far overtaken him. We have found here no signs of any thing except great prosperity on every hand. And so when we are asked what are the signs of the times, we say, nothing but cheerful faces, nothing but prosperous homes, nothing but happy, patriotic men. There are no cries of calamity. There are very few signs of want, except of 'help wanted.' Secretary Hitchcock, in the course of his speech, said: "The prosperity which the Attorney General has so eloquently alluded to for that prosperity you are more in debted than any other living man, to William McKinley (applause). And that prosperity will come just so long as you adhere to the principles to which he has devoted his whole life the hon or of the flag and the welfare of the people." (Loud applause.) Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said in part: "You remember a little over two years ago sixteen men were hunting one job. Now sixteen jobs are hunting one man (Applause.) During the four years previous to President McKinley taking his seat the livestock of the farms of the Fnited States had decreased $800, 000.000. At the end of the first two years of President McKinley's admin istration $341,000,000 of that amount had been made up again." At Danville, Ills., the president was introduced to an enthusiastic crowd by Congressman Joseph G. Cannon. In the course of the speech there the pres ident said: "We are collecting just now a million dollars for every working day of the month from our internal revenue taxes, and you don't seem to be much op pressed here on that account. We are collecting about $650,000 every working day of every month from the tariff that we put on foreign products that come into the United States from other coun tries and that does not seem to give you any serious trouble here. (Laugh ter). That vast amount of money re ceived into the treasury daily from in ternal taxes and customs tariff meets the ordinary expenses of the govern ment and just now a part of it is used to pay the soldiers and sailors who are engaged in the distant- islands, sup pressing rebellion against the sov ereignty of the United States. And you can be assured that not a dollar will go out except for honest purposes, while ffT GAVE little thought to my health," writes Mrs. Wm. V. I Bell, 230 N. Walnut St., Canton, O., to Mrs. Pink ham, "until I found myself unable to attend to my household duties. jit I had had my days of not feeling well and my monthly Vegetable Compound that I my mind to try it.

At Hoopestown, 111., President Mc Kinley said: "We have seen a great many people today; we have been greeted by many, many thousands of our fellow citizens. From the appearance and cheerfulness of the people it has seemed to me that all things must be going fairly well with you; that you have employment at fair wages; that you have good crops at fair prices; and that your great in dustry here, that of canning, is in ev ery respect most satisfactory and suc cessful. I congratulate you that you are now using American tin, for that is mow one of the great enterprises of the country." (Great applause). Referring here to the hostilities in the Philippines, the President said: "In .our recent war with Spain not only your state, but every state of the Union, north and south, rushed forward by the hundreds of thousands to serve their country: and they will not abate their patriotism till every rebellion ev erywhere and by whomsoever conduct ed shall be put down. Is that what you want, men of Illinois? (General cry of 'Yes'). '"Tl" "That is what is being done and what will be done." The last speech of the day was made at WTatseka, 111., where the president addressed a large assembly. Chicago was reached at 9 p. m. GALLIFFET'S "BLUFF." From the Youth's Companion. Bravery in a military officer is a commonplace virtue, since no man is fit to be an officer unless he possesses it. But presence of mind in great dan ger is a rarer quality, and the officer who possesses it needs only opportunity to bring him distinction. General De Galliffet, the French min ister of war, and the most eminent liv ing French general, possesses presence of mind in a high degree. During the war of the Commune, Galliffet once found himself at the Bergeries bridge, Paris, surrounded on three sides by the insurgent national guard. He was ac companied by a lieutenant only, Ber nard d'Harcourt by name. Escape was impossible. Three thousand national guards had their guns aimed at the two officers. "We shall never get out of this alive!" said the lieutenant. "Well." said Galliffet, "perhaps not, but I think we shall. Follow me!" Galliffet proceeded to ride at a slow trot directly toward the insurgents. Presently the Communist commander, a man with a white beard, evidently not a soldier by occupation, stepped out and called: "What do you want?" Then Galliffet proceeded to make a speech in somewhat grandiloquent manner. He pretended that he had come from President Thiers. "Frenchmen," he said, "listen! Shall it be peace or war between Paris and "Versailles? Shall we not have peace? Lay down your arms and all will be well. If you persist, it is war to the death! Frenchmen, choose!" A great clamor rose among the In surgents. The Communist leader spoke up. "Go back to President Thiers," he shouted, "and tell him it is war!" "I go," said Galliffet. He wanted nothing better, as his "mission" was a pure accident and he was as good as a prisoner. He and the lieutenant rode away. The lieutenant's horse struck into a gallop. "Hold on!" called Galliffet. "Don't let them think we are in a hurry they'll know what's up." So the two officers walked their horses out of range of the insurgent rifles, and rejoined their command. Two months later the gray bearded Communist commander fell into the hands of Galliffet. who gave him his liberty in agreeable remembrance of the incident. Mail Robber Escapes. Denver, Col., Oct.12. James K. Strat ton, the noted mailbox robber and for ger, has escaped from the penitentiary at Canon City, where he was serving a sentence of 21 years imprisonment, in a most mysterious manner. Warden Hoyt says that no tools were used and believes the prisoner must have re ceived help from some one in the inside. Stratton escaped from the same prison in September. 1S93. and was recaptured a year later in Chicago. Colombi a Wants a Loan. Washington, Oct. 12. United States Minister Hart has informed the state department that the Colombian govern ment is about to seek a loan of $14,599, 500 in order to redeem its paper money in silver.

TOPEKA STATE JOUEXAL, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12,1899 LINE 0MV1ARCH. Gallant Members of Twentieth to Pass Along Kansas Are. Plan Is to Turn West at Tenth Arenue. THE SCHOOL CHILDREN Thej Will Be In Double Line Along Line of March. Each Child Will Ware an American Flag. Magnificent Fireworks Displaj From State House. When the Twentieth gets home It will march along Kansas avenue all the way from Second street to Tenth ave nue, and probably around the state house square, In order to give the boys a chance to see the people of the state who come to Topeka to do them honor, and to allow the people of the state to see them. The question of the parade and how best to handle the crowds while the pa rade Is in progress was the principal subject considered by the Twentieth Kansas reception committee at its meeting last night. The parade com mittee, of which Captain A. M. Fuller Is chairman, submitted a written report giving its views of the matter. It is proposed to form the parade on Fifth street with the right resting on Quincy. The various divisions will be between Quincy and the Santa Fe and on the side streets opening into Fifth. The parade, as planned by the parade committee in its written report, will be headed by the veterans of the civil war as an escort to the Twentieth. Follow ing them will come General Funston in his carriage, and then will come the he roes of the Twentieth in three battal ions, in command of Colonel Metcalf, Lieutenant Colonel Little and the other officers of the regiment. After the Twem'ith will come the Twenty-first, Twenty-second and Twenty-third regi ments in regular order. When the committee made out its re port it was not known that any of the regular army would be present to par ticipate in the reception, and no pro vision was made for the regulars in the parade, but since it is known they are to be present, provision will probably be made for them immediately following the regiments of the Spanish-American war. The Kansa9 National Guard will assist in restraining the crowd at the depot and will then, bring up the rear of the parade. The committee is constant ly receivingapplications from other mil itary organizations for a place in the line, and such will probably be assigned in the rear of the regulars. The line of march as mapped out by the parade committee was west on Fifth to Quincy, north on Quincy to Second, west on Second to Kansas av enue, south on Kansas avenue to ninth, west on Ninth to Jackson, and then to maneuver so as to bring the old soldiers up on either side of the front of the south approach to the state house, where the reviewing stand will be erected. It is the idea of the committee that the Twentieth should be massed directly in front of the south approach with the other regiments and organiza tions behind them. The general committee at once said that this line of march would not be long enough to allow ail the people to eee the parade. IX J. Greenwald called attention to the fact that it was only 12 blocks long, and after considerable dis cussion the general committee recom mended that the line be extended south on Kansas avenue to Tenth avenue, and then encircle the state house square, which wiU give many more people an opportunity to see it. Captain Fuller, who planned the line of march, was not present at the meet ing last night, but it is known that he objected to this plan because it would result in a multitude of people immedi ately in front of the reviewing stand before the regiment got to it, and he said it would be almost impossible to get the crowd away so as to give suffi cient room to let the regiment and oth er organizations In. The parade committee also recom mended that the school children be massed on Ninth and Jackson streets to see the regiment march by, and that they then be massed on the south steps of the state house where they can wit ness the ceremony of the returning of the flag to the governor by Colonel Met calf. This plan did not meet with the favor of the general committee. The committee thought the suggestion about massing them on the state house steps after the parade an excellent idea, but during the parade the committee recommended that the children be ranged in a row on either side of Kan sas avenue from Ninth street to Sixth avenue, or perhaps Fifth, each child with a flag to wave, and those that can get them, with bouquets to shower the regiment. There will be about 6,000 children in the line. Colcnel Norton thought the children might become too tired if that program were carried out, but Major Anderson eaid: "If they are not in line they will be In the crowd. It will be impossible to keep them away from the parade while It is In progress, and they will not get as tired in line as they will If they are struggling with the crowd. "If my children," continued Major Anderson, "don't get out and raise tiades when the regiment comes home, I'll disown 'em." In connection with the children came the question of how to best handle the crowd on the streets. It was the sen timent of most of the committee that the people must be made to stay on the walks and not allowed to get on the etreets. This would give more people a chance to see and would string them out further along the street, and would also give a chance to place the school children about five feet outside the curbline, where they would not be crowded. Some members of the com mittee said the crowd could not be kept off the streets, but others said it was done In larger cities and could be done In Topeka, although it never has been done. A communication from Robert H. Mize. headmaster of St. John's Military school at Salina, was read, in which he eaid that the cadets of his school, prob ably to the number of 50. wanted to have a part in the reception and asked if they would be assigned a place in the parade. The cadets are finely uniform ed and well drilled and present an ex cellent appearance. One of the biggest features about the reception will be the fireworks display, which will be in charge of the Flam beau club. This display will be largely from the dome and roof of the state house, and will be the greatest exhibi tion of pyrotechnics ever seen in the west. Oscar Swayze. secretary of the flambeau club, reported to the commit tee that four set pieces have already been ordered so that time can be given for their manufacture. The first will be the words "Welcome Home," in six foot letters of fire, with crossed guns and the number of the regiment. An other will be a picture of General Fun ston in Are, 2a feet square. A third will be a spread eagle and shield, 20 by 25 feet. The fourth is a surprise. No bodv knows what it is except those who ordered it. Mr. Swayze assured the committee that it was a magnifi cent piece, but that it was thought best to keep it for a surprise. It is said that it will be grander than all the rest. No one will know what it is up to the very minute that the match is applied to it, and it stands out in out lines of fire. According to the arrangements of the flambeau club these set pieces will be placed at the southern entrance to the state house grounds, facing the state house. In front of them will be placed the bomb mortars, from which will be fired the immense bombs, some of which burst me amereni times in me air. On the gallery of the state house dome 2D0 feet from the ground a score or more of men will fire off GO gross of gigantic Roman candles, making a steady shower of balls of fire, as if falling from the clouds. In the first tier of windows below red fire will be burned neroetuallv and from the next tier of windows a steady stream of j rockets of a dozen varieties will be fired. I On the roof, mines, fancy pieces and I red fire will complete the illumination of the dome and state house. Red fire will be found everywhere. These fireworks are listed at almost $.").000 and will make the greatest dis play which many Kansas people will ever have an opportunity to see. GREAT JEETING To Express Sympathy With the Boers Held In New York Last Night Van Wyck Presided. New Tork, Oct. 12. A' great mass meeting was held in Carnegie hall last night to express sympathy with the Boers in their controversy with Great Britain. The flag of the Transvaal re public hung side by side on the stage with the stars and stripes. The colors of the Orange Free State were also displayed. On the platform and in the amphitheater were gathered men of all shades of political faith. Many wo men were present. Augustus Van Wyck, who was the Democratic candidate for governor in opposition to Governor Roosevelt, pre sided. A number of societies were rep resented, including the daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the Rev olution, Society of Colonial Dames, Or der of the Loyal Legion, Holland Soci ety, Holland Dames, and the United Irish societies. Among those present were General James R. O'Beirne, who recently was appointed representative of the Boers in this country; ex-Congressman John Devvitt Warner, Briga dier General Roe, District Attorney Gardiner and others of prominence. The long lists of vice presidents included Governor Pingree of Michigan. Senator Mason of Illinois, Senator Piatt of New York and Senator Teller of Colorado. A large crowd gathered about Carne gie hail early in the evening and there was a crush within the building after the doors were thrown open. On each of the chairs a petition to the president had been placed, for the name and ad dress of anyone who wished to sign it. The document petitioned that the pres ident offer the friendly offices of the United States to-secure a peaceful set tlement by arbitration of the pending war between Great Britain and the South African republics, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. Presiding Officer Van Wyck made a speech in which he characterized the pending struggle as one of the strong against the weak. During Mr. Van Wyck's speech somebody called for "three cheers for Dewey, the hero of Manila." The cheers were not given, and Mr. VanWyck continued to speak for half an hour. Bourke Cockran then took the plat form and was received with a tremend ous ovation as he came forward. He spoke for more than an hour, and while the applause was cyclonic at times, there were a good many inter ruptions on the part of several hundred English sympathizers, who occupied seats in the rear of the hall and in the galleries. Mr. Cockran said in part: "This meeting has been objected to on the ground that the United States has nothing to do with the affairs of South Africa. Whoever indulges in that criticism must have forgotten that with the closer relations between mem bers of the human family, engendered by the growth of commerce and civil ization, the preservation of peace throughout the world becomes a matter of importance to every civilized coun try. A regard for material interests as well as respect for the moral law in this age of law and progress, enjoin upon strong nations a responsibility for the defense of the weak against unjust aggression. The century the close of it will be capped to the fitting climax if this, the strongest nation in the world, shall proclaim the principle that unjust war is an assault upon civiliz ation and every moral resource should be exhausted to prevent it. "We may not hope that the closing year of the century will be made glor ious by the proclamation of a new prin ciple, capable of promoting the peace of the whole universe to the end of time, and which will be known as the McKinley doctrine?" Mr. Cockran then went into details on the relations between the two con tending nations and spoke of England's rights in the making of treaties with the Boers, and added: "The United States has as much right to intervene to prevent aggression and preserve peace as England has for the gratification of greed and the spoliation of territory." Continuing, Mr. Cockran said: "Pres ident Kruger was within his rights, and I believed stepped outside of his duty when he consented to discuss the ques tion of citizenship with any person who should couple it with a threat. Yet he was ready to concede it if that shadow claim of suzerainty, revived after fif teen years, should be abandoned. No notice was given to his note. England wanted a guarantee that the Outlanders would be given all the privileges en Joyed by the Boers. Now the enactment of a law is all the guarantee that a state ran give. If that is not sufficient, then there is nothing left to do but to hand over the government to the power executing the threat. Chamberlain's attitude, as everything had been con ceded, was a demand to choose between surrender and conquest, which is very much the same as if another should in vite him to commit suicide in order to save the trouble and risk of murdering him. "The ostensible reasons assigned for Mr. Chamberlain's policy are so inade quate that we are compelled to look for the real reasons elsewhere. .Why is it that the peace of the world is endan gered on such a flimsy pretence? "The answer is on the tongue of every Englishman, but it suggests such reck lessness, such heedless moral depravity, that I would not undertake to formulate it. Let an Englishman answer it and it proclaims the infamy of their govern ment. "In all the history of the human race," shouted Mr. Cockran, "I defy any man to find an instance where war has been based upon reasons as atrocious as this." Mr. Cockran eulogized President Kru ger who was cheered. Then he said that it had been said by the British foreign office that because she gave us her good offices we were able to whip Spain. "If that is so," said Mr. Cockran. "then we ought to take the arch at Twenty-third street down and set it up in Piccadilly or Downing street and take the wreath from Admiral Dewey's head and set it on that of Joseph Chamberlain." Mr. Cockran declared that if dum-dum bullets were used in the war it would be because they had been preserved by the English and American representatives at The Hague. "It has been said," he continued, "that while the president of the United States sympathizes with the Transvaal yet he loves England too well to remonstrate. If this be so, then he is ready to connive at oppression. But this is not so. I be lieve that before many days have passed this country will intervene. (Cheers and cries of 'No!) I promise you that inter vention of an effective kind will come. The United States happen to have a ques tion with Great Britain about the Alas kan boundary. The day that England engages in an unjust war. that day our claims will be advanced with all our force and power. 1 promise you that will be in tervention in its most effective form. I promise this intervention berause it is the only thing that the president of the United States can do if he perform all the duties of his office. "The very highest dutv of the presi dent is to guard the integrity of the ter ritory of the United States. He has for mulated certain claims to territory in dis pute between this country and Great Brit ain. If they are well founded it is the duty of the president to maintain them with all the power at his command and take advantage of every opportunity to enforce them. If England goes to war this is our opportunity. And if that war shall be unjustifiable and barbarous then the improvement of our opportunity will be a service to civilization." These resolutions were adopted: "Resolved. That this meeting, having considered the difficulty which arisen be tween Great Britain and the South Af rican republic, and having examined the relation of these two states as defined bv the conventions of 1881 and 184. is of the opinion that Great Britain does not pos sess any right of intervention in the in ternal affairs of the South African re public either by treaty or by internat ional law. "Resolved, That this meeting is also of the opinion that the South African re public although not bound to comply with any of the demands of Great Britain, has shown a proper and commendable willingness to consider the alleged griev ances and to grant reasonable privileges and that, therefore, it is the duty of Great Britain not to enforce a conflict in South Africa, but either to accept ahe of fered reforms or to leave the whole mat ter to a court of arbitration. "Resolved, That a copy of these reso lutions be transmitted to the government of the United States, to the government of Great Britain and to the government of the Soutli African republic." It had been rumored around tne hall that the meeting would break up in a seething mass of people burning a union jack. It was expected by the plotters that pandemonium would reign.

The Republican county organization has been forced to nominate Justice George C. Barrett, Democrat, for justice of the supreme court, being unable to gain the sup port of the city club, the Citizens' un ion and other independent organizations for an anti-Tammany fusion ticket on any other terms, and being threatened with the opposition of the bar associa tion of Justice Barrett were turned down. The Republican county conven tion last night nominated this ticket, which has the approval of the anti Tammany organizations: For justices of the supreme court George C. Barrett and Joseph F. Daly. For Surrogate James M. Varnum. For judge of the court of general ses sions James A. Blanchard. For judges of the city court Samuel Seabury and Herman C. Kudllch. For sheriff William J. O'Brien. Joseph F. Daly is the Democratic ex judge whose quarrel with Mr. Croker last year was taken up by the bar asso ciation. Samuel Seabury is a Henry George Democrat. Herman C. Kudlich is a German inde pendent Democrat. William J. O'Brien is the labor party's nominee for sheriff. At the county and judicial conven tion held at Tammany hall last night, the following ticket was nominated: Justices of the supreme court George C. Barrett, James A. O'Gorman. Judge of the court of general sessions Warren W. Foster. Judges of the city court James M. Fitzsimmons, Lewis J. Conlan. Surrogate Abner C. Thomas. Sheriff William F. Grell. The nomination of Justice Barrett was unanimous, the secretary being in structed on behalf of the convention to cast a single ballot for him. The plat form was modeled after the usual Tam many hall form, only state and munici pal issues being discussed. Denuncia tion of trusts and the state franchise tax are the new features in the platform. HILL'S DEFEAT Brought About by Murphy and Croker Combine. New York, Oct. 12. The followers of ex-Senator Murphy and Richard Croker defeated ex-Senator D. B. Hill in a struggle for supremacy at the meeting of the state Democratic committee at the Hoffman House last night. Just what the victory means the campaign alone will tell for Senator Hill in a strong speech on other matters em phatically declared that while Croker had won the fight in the committee he could not ride roughshod over the rights of up-state Democrats at the polls and followers of the senator de clared that Croker's victory meant de feat for every member of the legisla ture above the New York city line. Ex Senator Hill himself declared the fight in the committee, one of his followers asking at the opening of the meeting that the contest in Rochester be settled. Ex-Senator Murphy and his friends op posed the consideration of the matter at this time but Senator Hill in a long and impassioned speech, forced a reso lution that the state committee decide between Tracy and Kelly, the rivals for the place on the committee. The Mur-phy-Croker faction won by 28 to 20. From the time that the test vote showed the strength of the opposing side Mr. Croker took advantage of his opportunity and assumed the leader ship, and ex-Senator Hill and his fol lowers found their protests and pas sionate speeches received with laughter by the winners in the long fight that has now apparently resulted in a change of Democratic leaders in this state. After settling the Rochester contest, Mr. Frank H. Mott, proxy for Thomas H. Dowd, of Chautauqua in troduced a resolution of sympathy with William J. Bryan in his present ill ness. The resolution was read as fol lows: The Democratic state committee of New York, recognizing that William J. Bryan is the natural and approved leader of the Democratic party in the nation, expresses its solicitude for his health and strength, and while he is temporarily stricken on the people's battlefield they beg to assure him of their loyalty and love." These resolutions were seconded by Mr. Croker. They were opposed by ex- Senator Hill. Mr. Croker, in seconding them, spoke of Mr. Bryan as the nat ural leader, and said that if he were nominated in 1900 the people would loyally support him. Ex-Senator Hill asked Mr. Croker sarcastically if he would support him. "You have changed your mind three times, and there is no telling what you will do when 1900 comes," said Mr. Hill. Mr. Croker simply put his hands In his pockets and smiled back at Mr. Hill. Ex-Seator Hill, in opposing the reso lutions with his followers, declared that he and they had voted for and loyally supported Bryan in 1896. Ex-Senator Murphy and Senator P. H. McCarren laughed out loud at this statement of ex-Senator Hill. The Murphy-Croker faction signalized their victory in the state committee by deciding against Senator Hill's suppor ter in the Tioga county contest. A res olution was passed, offered by Commit teeman Conway from Cayuga county, directing the secretary of the commit tee to notify the county clerk of Tioga county that the ticket headed by John H. Sawyer, of Auburn, was the regu lar Democratic ticket and so recognized by the state committee. Henry E. Brewster, a Hill commltee man, wanted a committee of five ap pointed to investigate the claims of the rivals in Cayuga. It was at this juncture that Mr. Hill made his passionate plea, threatening the New York city men in case they in sisted upon their course. "Let me warn you," he said impres sively, "that if any clique or coterie of politicians from this city tries to ride over the Democrats of Cayuga county the ticket that the clique endorses will not be worth the paper it Is printed on." The resolution to appoint the commit tee of five was defeated by a vote of 28 to 29. The vote on the Bryan resolu tion was even more adverse to the Hill forces and stood 38 to 10 in favor of the adoption of the statement declaring Mr. Bryan the leader of the Democratic party. Elliott Danforth offered a resolution which was adopted, authorizing the chairman of the committee to open per manent headquarters to the committee After the meeting ex-Senator Hill abruptly declined to be interviewed.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 12, 1899 7 ill WILL KEEP HANDS OFF. President McKlnley Will Not Meddle In Any Way In the Affair Between England and the Boers. HAS MANY PETITIONS. Some Want Him to Mediate; Others to Take Sides. Some Favor One Party and Some the Other. Washington, Oct. 12. The following statement was issued by the state de partment today: "The president has received a large number of petitions signed by many citizens of distinction, requesting him to tender the mediation of the United States to settle the differences existing between the government of Great Brit ain and that of the Transvaal. He has received other petitions on the same subject, some of them desiring him to make common cause with Great Brit ain to redress the wrongs alleged to have been suffered by the Outlanders and especially by American citizens in the Transvaal and other writing him to assist the Boers against alleged aggres sion. "It is understood the president does not think it expedient to take action in anv of these directions. As to taking sides with either party to the dispute, it is not to be thought of. As to media tion, the president has received no in timation from either of the countries that the mediation of the United States would be accepted and in the absence of such intimation from both parties, there is nothing in the rules of inter national usage to Justify an offer of mediation in the present circumstances. It is known that the president sincerely hopes and desires that hostilities may be avoided; but if unfortunately they should come to pass, the efforts of this government will be directed as they are at present to seeing that neither our national interests nor those of our citizens shall suffer unnecessary in- CRASH JIAS GOME Financial Panic Starts on Ital ian Bourse.

Mr. Edward "Wilder, treasurer of the Santa Fe, this morning bought in the Leavenworth, Topeka Southwestern railway at foreclosure sale for $100,000. The sale took place at Oskaloosa, Hiram P. Dillon acting as master in chancery. Besides Mr. Wilder and Mr. Uillon the sale was attended by Mr. W. H. Rossington. representing the trus tees of the mortgage bonds, and Mr. Robert Dunlap. representing the Santa Fe legal department. The party left Topeka on a special train this morning and returned at noon. The sale was made to Mr. Wilder per sonally, and not to the Santa Fe com pany. In purchasing it he acted in ac cordance with the wishes of the Santa Fe management, but says he does not know what will ultimately be done with the line. This will be decided by the time the sale is confirmed and the deed ready, probably within the next week. The mortgages under which the road was sold amount to $1,380,000. For the past live years the road has been in the hands of Mr. C. T. McLellan as receiv er, and he has repeatedly been compell ed to borrow money under an order of the court to pay operating expenses. The Leavenworth, Topeka South western has never been a paying line. Notwithstanding this fact, however, it is understood that it is not the purpose to abandon it and tear up the track. Neither is it understood to be the pur pose of the Santa Fe to operate it. Its disposition is as yet largely a matter of conjecture. Some time ago there was a rumor that the Maple Leaf road might buy in the line, giving that road an entrance into Topeka from Leavenworth. Th rumor seems to have died a natural death, however.and the Maple Leaf peo ple have now probably no idea of taking the line. The road was purchased by Mr. Wil der with ten $10,000 National Bank checks. MOVES ON SAPAHG. Gen. Scbwan Is Again the Insurgents. After Washington, Oct. 12.

The prosecu tion of the Klondike jointists was be gun yesterday afternoon. Only the pre liminary steps were taken, that is, the tiling in the district court of the n forination against persons for selling intoxicants and keeping places where they are sold. An air of mystery surrounds the ac tion of the attorneys prosecuting the KJondikers and positive statements concerning the nature and extent of the prosecution could not be obtained, other than that five petitions were filed and the warrants are expected to be served upon the jointists as soon as possible. The action is brought by County At torney Wendorff, his name appearing in the information. The papers were prepared by F. IS. Dawes and filed late yesterday afternoon by Wendorff. The petitions are five in number and each is voluminous. Each one con tains sixteen counts against the defend ant, one of which is for maintaining a nuisance, a place where liquors are sold, and the remaining fifteen are for violating the prohibitory law in sell ing malt, vinous or other intoxicating liquors. The names of the defendants are not all known. Among them, however, are Bodde and Karst, both jointists in the Klondike. F. B. Dawes left the city yesterday afternoon immediately after the peti tions were filed. J. H. Wendorff, county attorney, was seen by a Times reporter last night. He was walking his office floor and would not talk to the reporter. CAN NOT HE DONE. Why Soldier Trains Can Not Pass Through. Kansas la Say Time. Because of the agitation by W. T. Morgan inthe Hutchinson News, Gen eral Passenger Agent Black of the Santa Fe this afternoon issued an ul timatum. He says the Santa Fe people will exercise their own discretion in bringing the regiment through from San Francisco to Topeka, and that the trains will positively not pass through Kansas during the day. Mr. Black has good and substantial reasons for the stand he is taking. The regiment will have to board the trains at San Francisco sometime between 10 o'clock in the morning and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, as the regular trains take up later time. This will bring the trains into Topeka between 6 and 10 o'clock in the morning of the fourth day, which is the quickest time that can be made and give the soldiers meals at the meal stations. To run the trains through Kansas in daylight would delay their arrival in this city until 4 or 5 o'clock in the even ing, entirely too late for a suitable cele bration. "When arrangements were made with the executive committee," said Mr. Black this afternoon, "it was under stood that we would use our own dis cretion in bringing the troops in. This we propose to do, and it will be impos sible to run the trains through Kansas in daylight, stopping at the various stations be cause of the heavy passenger and freight traffic during the daylight hours. We don't propose to do it, no matter how much of roar is made in the western part of the state." EVERYBODY COMING. What the Papers Are Saying About Twentieth Kansas Reception. As a "straw" to show whether or not the people of Kansas are coming to the Twentieth Kansas reception, the fol lowing is reproduced from the Law ernce Journal: "The enthusiasm last night shows in a faint manner what may be expected when the boys get to Topeka. A hun dred Lawrence men who had made up their minds to stay at home when the boys came, last night decided that they would go to Topeka if it cost a farm. A great many hundred had already de cided to go if it cost all the farms they have. There are going to.be so many people there to welcome the boys that there will not be standing room on the town site." On the same subject the Kmporia Ga zette says: "A great many Emporia people will go to Topeka to see the Twentieth. It is reported that the trains carrying the regiment will pass through here about 7 a. m." With reference to what Topeka will do about the reception the Lawrence Journal further says: "Topeka had more than three thou sand dollars raised last night toward the reception fund for the Twentieth. An attempt will be made to get $10,000 to "blow in" on the occasion, and if that amount is raised Topeka can see the biggest time she will ever see if she lives a thousand years, and can at the same time give her visitors the time of their lives." COMING TO TOPEKA. Odd Fellows Decide to Meet Here Next Year. "Wichita, Oct. 12. The grand lodge I. O. O. K. voted this afternoon to hold the next session of the Grand lodge in Topeka. UN DEU THE HAMMER. Pine Oak Bar and Sideboard Broken to Pieces. This morning was "breaking up day" at the city prison and a bar and side board went under the Hammer and came out in pieces. Soon after the search and seizure or dinance was passed Robert Black was arrested for selling liquor. He was found guilty in police court and was fined $300 and 90 days in Jail. He did not appeal and refused to pay the fine so he will have 590 days to stay there. As the case was disposed of, the offen der working out his sentence, the fine oak bar and hardwood side board were broken up and stored In the cellar for kindling wood. This is the first bar that has been destroyed. DEWEY'S WATCH. Presented by Boston Is Inscribed "Qridley, Xou May Fire When Ready." Boston, Oct.12.

That they will prove a rich and invaluable heritage I feel assured. That congress will provide for them a government which will bring them bless ings, which will promote their material interests as well as advance their peo ple in the path of civilization and intel ligence I confidently believe. They will be governed as vassals or serfs, or slaves they will be given a government of liberty, regulated by law, honestly administered without oppressing or ex acting taxation without tyranny, jus tice without bribe, education without distinction of social conditions, free dom of religious worship and protection in life liberty and the pursuit of happi ness." Governor Lind welcomed the return ing soldiers to their home state and the members of the president's cabinet spoke briefly. Later the president was escorted to his train and left for St. Paul where a public reception will be held this evening. PALHING WAS GOOD. Herrmann Show la Not Altogether Satisfactory. The palming of Leon Herrmann has im proved since lie was here last season. He works more rapidly and with greater dex terity and his performance is more smooth and accomplished. But only iu reference to his palming: can the enter tainment furnished this year be said to excel that of the past two seasons. On the whole his programme this year is the least satisfactory since his appear ance in this country. To break his work in magic, Herrmann has this year associated with him "Ia Petite Lona" and the four Ijuciers. The former is only an ordinary singing soub rette and the latter, while entertaining, are by no means extraordinary musical artists. The combined entertainment provided falls short in comparison to the features that have heretofore formed a part of the Herrmann programmes. While Leon Herrmann's work is prac tically all clever, the lack of new mat erial is noticeable. His one illusion "The Birth of the Golden Butterfly" is minus considerable illusion ajid gives no credit to the performance. NEW GOLF CHAMPION. Looka Like It Will Be Mrs. Caleb Fox. Philadelphia, Oct. 12. The golf links of the Philadelphia golf club were in fine condition for the third day's play of the Woman's Golf Championship tournament. The contestants at this stage had been reduced to eight of whom the two favorites were Mrs. Caleb F. Fox, who yesterday defeated the three times champion. Miss Beat ric Hoyt and Miss Anna Sands. They were paired and played to a close and exciting finish. Mrs. Fox started off with a rush and at the eighth hole she was five up. Miss Sands first hole was the ninth and from here she began to play better. She took the eleventh and twelfth holes and on the fourteenth hole the score stood Mrs. Fox one up. Play continued loose and tne eighteenth hole was halved, necessitating extra holes being played. Mrs. Fox won, how Summaries: ever, by a score of one up twenty hole. Miss Marion Oliver. Albany, vs. 'Mrs. J. F. McFadden, Philadelphia Miss Oliver won by five up, four to play. Mrs. Caleb F. Fox, Rydal, Pa., vs. Miss Anna Sands. Newport Mrs. Fox won by one up, 20 holes. Miss Ruth Fnderhill. Glencove, L. I., vs. Mrs. Pauline Mackay, Boston Miss Underhill won by three up to play. Mrs. Cockran vs. Miss Elsie Cassatt Miss Cassatt won by six up and five to play. The second round of the consolation contest for the trophy of the Woman's Golf association of Philadelphia, was also started and some good golf was played in this class. NORTH TOPEKA.

All the World May Be Hoary Ere America's Cup Is Lifted. New York, Oct. 12. The weather at ,7 a. m. today gave promise of another disappointment for the yachting world. A heavy fog enveloped the upper bay and only the lightest of westerly aira was blowing. Reports from the Associated Press coast stations early in the day were decidedly gloomy. Long Branch at 7 a. m. said the wind was very light from the west, the sea smooth and observation only about one mile; Galilee said observation there was not over a mile with the same wind and sea conditions; Sandy Hook report ed the wind west, between four and five miles an hour, with sea smooth; at 7:30 a. m. the Highlands of Navesink said observation there was about three miles, though the weather was fairly clear to the westward from which di rection the wind was blowing at the rate of about three miles an hour and Long Beach at 7:20 a. m., reported the westerly wind light, sea smooth and observation about three miles. At 8:45 a. m. the fog still hung dense ly over Sandy Hook, but the breeze held well and seemed to have hauled slightly more to the north. As the sun rose higher, with the help of the northwest breeze, it succeeded in driving part of the mist off shore so that at 9 o'clock both yachts could be dimly seen from the Highlands. At that time both were prepared to start for the lightship. The breeze held well for the north, northwest, and while not blowing more than three or four knots an hour, showed little signs of decreas ing. At 9 o'clock one of the yachts, ap parently the Columbia, could be seen leaving her moorings for the start in tow of a tug with the Shamrock astern, also in tow. RACE PROBABLY OFF. Mackay Bennett Cable Boat, 11:35 a. m. Apparently a conference being held on committee boat. New York. Oct. 12.-12:06 p. m. The yacht race is off for today. COLLIDED IN THE POG. Steamer With Sir Thomas Lipton's Guests on Board Bumps Into a Ferryboat. New York, Oct. 12. The steamer Wm. Fletcher with guests of Sir Thomas Lipton on board, collided in the fog with the ferryboat West Brooklyn just off Governor's island soon after 8 o'clock this morning. Both boats sus tained considerable injury as the Fletcher struck bow on, carrying away her nose and making a big hole in the ferry boat's port side above the water line. The Fletcher returned to the barge office and landed her passengers. There was some excitement on board both, but no one sustained injury. The passengers of the Fletcher were transformed to the tug E. S. Atwood and in about half an hour left for Sandy Hook to board the Erin. The ferryboat was taken to her slip at South Ferry by a tug boat. MILLIONAIRES CLASH. Rockefeller Gets the Upper Hand of Carnegie. Cleveland, Oct. 12.

Patrick Francis Was Blind for a Long Time He Now Sees A Happy Family and Kind Neighbors Unite in Rejoicing. Mr. Patrick Francis, aged 62 years, lives at 713 Morris street, Nijrth Topeka, Kansas. About two years ago he lost his sight in the right eye. Tears before the other eye had been taken out, so he was completely blind.

Office: 696 Kansas Office Hours 9 to 12, 2 to 5, and morning from JUDGE DAY'S DEFENSE Of the Payment of $20,000,000 to Spain. Columbus, O., Oct. 12. The public ut terance of Juuge William R. Iay, who "was president of the American peacecom mission, concerning the deliberations of the commissioners at Paris is contained in a letter written to former Congress man I. K.. Watson of this city, and read by him at a Republican meeting in this tity last nifiht. Jude lay sets forth the reasons w hich in his mind, jus tilled the payment of twenty million dollars for the i-'hilippines. declaring? that it was never contended by t he American commission ers that the United States had a right to the Philippines as a matter of con quest. In this letter, after reviewing at length the long negotiations between the Ppan lah and American peace commissioners, reciting the several propositions submit ted to the Spaniards for the cessation of the Philippines and the final offer for the feaJce of eecuring an immediate peace, to pay an indemnity of $20,ux,ooo, Judge Day Bays "On the 2Sth of November, the Spanish commissioners accepted the terms offered fcy the representatives of the United (states. You will observe that in making this proposal it is distinctly said that it embodies the concessions which for the fake of immediate peace the American government was willing to make. There were doubtless other reasons actuating the commissioners in making this propos al, though I thin jr. the chief one is em bodied in the statement above written. It was not claimed that the United States had a right to the Philippines as a mat ter of conquest. The United States lias never undertaken so far as 1 know to "wrest from a foreign country lands or possessions simply by right of conquest. Had we beon disposed to do so it must be remembered that we were in posses fion only of the city, bay and harbor of Manila under the protoeol of August 12, 1&9S. providing United States should oc cupy and hold the same pending the con clusion of a treaty of peace which should determine the control. disposition and government of the Philippines. The cap ture after the signing of the protocol, bv General Merritt and his forces, whatever Jts legal effect may have been included no more territory than we were entitled to hold under the protocol. In addition to the hope of accomplishing immediate peace, which I need hardly say, was of great importance at that time, there was a. strong desire to treat Spain with a de gree of magnanimity consistent with our national honor and prestige, following our national precedent in the treatment of Mexico for the cession of territory to us at the close of the Mexican war. "By the cession for a consideration we obtained an indisputable title which must be respected bv all other nations. It must be remembered too, that the American commissioners had consistently refused assume any of the outstanding debts or obligations which Spain had undertaken to fasten upon the Philippines. Notwith standing our offer to pay for pacific im provements. Spain had not undertaken to substantiate any claim upon that ground. "Of course, T speak only for myself, RTid I write these views without oppor tunity to consult with my fellow commis sioners. "In my judgment, the concession refer red to wa effectual ia bringing about UP" ih li. -rw A St. Joseph, Mo., Citizen Testifies. Mr. Wm. Hanawalt, who lives at 714 Warsaw Ave., St. Joseph, Mo., has been a sufferer for two years and a half. He is thirty years of age. He said: "I was nervous, had cough and catarrh, stomach out cf order, weakness, tremb ling, palpitation of the heart, weak, lame back, bad taste in the mouth, bowels irregular, restless sleep, tired feeling in, the morning, floating spots before the eyes, dizziness, pain in head and back of neck, imaginary fears, al ways afraid something was going to happen, inability to concentrate my at tention, poor memory, lack of vigor. I treated with different specialists for months and got no better. One promi nent specialist told me I would never get well; yet after I had taken one month's treatment from Drs. Johnston Walsh I felt like a new man. I was better, stronger and vigorous in every way. I heartily recommend them to aH." Stop Those Ringing Noises Deaf No More A Remarkable Case. Mr. A. C. Best is one of the leading citizens and one of the oldest settlers in Eastern Kansas. He lives near Mon rovia, and is highly respected by all.

"In this conclusion I codially agree with the following remarks of Senator Gray, one of the commissioners, made at the Ohio society dinner, Ne-w Xork, Feb ruary 25. 'When after four1 or five weeks of doubt and anxiety it became apparent that these negotiations must either be broken off and our commissioners re turn, without a treaty at all. and that we would be relegated to the necessitv of taking not only the Philippines, but Cuba and Porto Rico, by he ruthless hand of conquest, or. by some concessions that comported with the magnanimity and greatness and character of this count ry, gain them by voluntary cession of a treaty of peace. And therefore, we believ ed that it was better for this countrv, strong in the hour of its victories, great in the hour of its triumphs, that It should to a beaten and prostrate foe, exhibit that magnanimity of which I spoke, and take from them by voluntary cession and purchase, so to speak, those distant isl ands, rather than expose ourselves in the eyes of the world as playing a role of barbaric conquest, and by military power tread the path of mediaevil rapine and warfare. "The advanced position wnleh the Unit ed States has always maintained in its in ternational relations, its opposition to anything like harsh or severe treatment of a fallen foe, as well as other cogent reasons, woitfd seem to justify the pay ment of the twenty millions as an act dic tated from a high sense of national honor as well as sound policy under the circum stances of the case."

BUSINESS TRANS ACTED Club on Record Against Prem ium Stamp Scheme. Will Keep Out of the Bridge Huddle. The Commercial club opened Ha heart and its pocket book at Its meeting Wednesday evening and gave all the money which it had available to the Twentieth Kansas reception commit tee. The amount was $200. The mat ter was brought up by F. P. MacLen nan, of the finance committee, after the regular business had been dispensed with. "The club has passed handsome reso lutions about the Twentieth Kansas," said Mr. MacLennan, "but the finance committee fails to find a subscription by the club on its list. The club has just made an appropriation for a coun try circus that never came off, and the committee thinks it should now appro priate something for the real thing, the reception to the Twentieth." W. H. Davis moved that $200 be ap propriated for that purpose. D. J. Green wald said: "I would like to have this appropriation made just as large as possible and still leave us money enough to pay our bills for the month. If we could make it $2o0 or $300 I would be in favor of doing it." The treasurer's report showed that there was $387 in the treasury, and Ma jor Anderson stated that there was about $250 back on dues, but it wa3 doubtful if a very great amount of it could be collected in time to pay the bills of the club for the present month. He said that the club would be safe in appropriating $200, however, and Mr. Davis' motion passed unanimously in the form of a suspension of the rules to obviate any difficulty which might arise on account of the appropriation being in opposition to the rules of the club. WILL KEEP OUT OF THE BRIDGE MUDDLE. The Commercial club has decided that it has nothing to do, as an organization, with the proposed new bridge across the Kaw east of the city, either for or against it. The matter was brought up at the meeting of the club last even ing, and President Brigham introduced it by saying: "This bridge is a matter that has been taken up by individual parties in the city, but the impression has gone out that it is a Commercial club affair, and that the good roads committee is working it up. O. L. 'Hill, chairman of the good roads committee, tells me that he knew nothing of it. So the mat ter has been brought up here for con sideration." "I do not think the matter should be acted on one way or the other by this club," said William Green. "It is not in the province of the Commercial club to take up a project unless it is in. the in terest of the city as a wnole. This bridge would not in reality be worth a nickel to Topeka. I do not want to be considered as opposing the bridge, but I don't think the club should take it up. It would bring a few people in Kaw township, Jefferson county, closer to the citsr, but they already have a good road around the north side of the river. The citizens of the north side have subscrib ed liberally to the maintenance of that road and the people of Grantviile and Kaw township will acknowledge that it is a good road. Everybody who will come to Topeka over that bridges comes here now. While it might add a little to the trade of the south side, it would be a corresponding detriment to the north side. The people over there have an impression that this club is working for the interest of the south side against the r.orth side, and we want to do away with that impression." J. S. Warner This bridge is an as sured thing whether this club gives it its endorsement or not. Jefferson coun ty has given $2,000 towards it, Kaw township has voted $3.0u0, Shawnee county has given $2,000 and the old bridge, which leaves $3,000 to be raised by subscriptions. Of this amount the citizens have already subscribed $1,600, and it will be an easy matter to raise the balance. S. H. Downs, a member of the good roads committee, explained the position of his committee in the matter. He endorsed the bridge project as a good thing, and said that a delegation from Kaw township had conferred with the good roads committee and presented their plans for raising the money, some of which the committee had not en couraged, until Tecumseh and Topeka THE MINISTER'S COFFEE Hart Him Worse Than the Devil Did. "I used the old-fashioned coffee from my babyhood, and like many others, thought I could not live without it. Was in the army four years during the Re bellion and came out very much broken in health. I was compelled to quit the active work of the ministry for more than a year at a time, suffering terribly from stomach and intestinal troubles and torpid liver, with the consequent nervous headache and prostration, lum bago and rheumatism. "Four years ago. being confined to bed with these troubles and ulceration of the liver, my physician positively forbade the use of coffee and brought me some Postum Cereal Food Coffee. Since that time, myself and family have used no other coffee. All my intestinal trouble has been greatly relieved, and I no longer suffer from rheumatism and very little from torpid liver or bilious ness. "I am fully convinced that coffee is very largely responsible for the greater part of all stomach, intestinal and liver troubles from which people suffer. I am now 5S years old, and my health has been so much improved that I do as much work as I ever did, and with about as much comfort. I can conscien tiously attribute it chiefly to the use of Postum Cereal Food Coffee. There are several friends who have had valuable experience with the leaving off of cof fee and the use of Postum Food Cof fee. It gives me pleasure to add my testimony to help humanity to under stand that the very general cause of sickness is, I consider, largely attribut able to mistakes in the use of food and drink." Rev J. A. Flickinger, pastor of the Lutheran church, Ray's Hill. Pa. Grocers sell Postum Coffee, and Pos tum Cereal Co., Ltd., make it at Bat tle Creek, Mich.

He moved that a member of the good roads com mittee be authorized to act with a member of the Iaw township delega tion in securing funds from these town ships, but this motion, did not meet with favor, and a motion by Mr. Green to postpone Indefinitely any action In the matter was carried. POSTERS TO BURN. If anybody wants some wild west pic tures of large size for any purpose, the Commercial club can supply them cheap. It has on hand $27 worth that it would like to dispose of. When the country circus was pro posed Dean Low, who was at the head of the scheme, ordered a quantity of large posters to advertise the affair. The papers came but trie scheme fell through. Mr. Low asked the Commer cial club to pay for the posters, but the directors of the club did not feel authorized to do so. Finally C. H. Samson paid the bill out of his own pocket. Secretary Anderson spoke of the mat ter last evening, and called attention to the fact that 55 business men had gone on a guaranty list to bear any ex penses that might be Incurred and not otherwise provided for. He said that 50 cents apiece from those on the list would reimburse Mr. Samson, and that provision should be made for collect ing the money. W. H. IXivis said that was not nec essary as the club had a fund on hand which the directors could not expend, and the club might as well appropriate it to pay for the posters. This was done and the club now has a choice collec tion of wild west circus posters among its assets. Rut they may come handy at some time in the future. TO IMPROVE PARKS. General Hudson brought up the ques tion of parks, and moved that a special committee be appointed on park im provements. S. H. Downs reviewed the history of the park movement in To peka, and explained why the park com mission could do nothing at present, in view of the fact that the park law has been practically rendered void. He intimated that the council ought to carry the special auditorium law to the supreme court in order to settle the park law. Mayor Drew, who was present, ex plained that the council did not wish to appeal the auditorium law, for if it should be upheld the council might have to issue $120,000 bonds when it only wanted $00,000. He also explained that the council had taken 5 mills from the sinking fund levy and added it to the levy for improvements, which would raise $5,000, but $1,500 of it would have to go for the first installment of interest on the city hall bonds. The balance the council contemplates spending on the city park. AGAINST PREMIUM STAMPS. The Commercial club has placed itself actively on record against the premium stamp business in- any form. In accord ance with the request of the merchants who are opposing the stamp business in Topeka William Green last night in troduced at the meeting of the club the following resolution, which was unan imously adopted: "Resolved, By the Topeka Commer cial club, that the secretary be instruct ed to correspond with similar organiza tions throughout the state with a view to create public sentiment against all forms of gift enterprises, such as prem ium stamps, etc., whereby premiums are given to induce purchase of any commodity." WATCHING THE WINNER LINE. The trades extension committee has its best eye open for any indications that the proposed electric line from Kansas City to Topeka will really be built, and at the first sign that the project will be carried through the committee will give the alarm. P. I. Bonebrake, chairman of the trades ex tension committee, in making a brief report on the subject, said that he had no idea that the project would be car ried through, but that the committee was keeping close watch to see if the road's projectors really mean business. TOOK ANOTHER'S LETTER. John Brooks of Cottonwood Falls Indicted by Leavenworth Jury. Leavenworth, Oct. 12. In the United States court here the case against Jas. J. McFarlane, ex-postmaster at Clyde, charged with embezzling government money, was continued until the April term. The grand jury last night returned true bills against the three negroes Ed Fleming, Heck Robinson and Chas. Porter, charged with assaulting Maud Bridges and Lillie Boland upon the government reservation. An indictment was also found against John Brooks, of Cottonwood Falls, Kan., for taking a letter belonging to another from the postoffice at that place. ANNUAL SALES. 5.000,000 BOXES. ROLLING IN A BARREL. tFrom the Minneapolis Tribune. "There is something barbaric about lynching, as most people will agree," said the man with the broken nose, "but I can easily name two worse things. One is rolling a man around in a barrel, and the other Is a coat of tar and feathers. In my foolish young days I arrived at a town in southern Indiana, to find the people ex cited over several arrests for robbery. A family named Black, consisting of man and wife and a grown-up son, had been caught and made to confess to many thefts. Instead of putting them on trial, the people had determined to apply tar and feathers and walk' em out of town. I had .no objections so far as the men were concerned, but when it came to the woman I constituted myself her champion and declared they must walk over my dead body first. For five minutes I was a hero. Then about a dozen men grabbed me and hustled me into a room, and after the Blacks had been disposed of accord ing to programme, I was brought out for punishment. Plenty of tar and feathers were left, but the crowd wanted a change, and it was decided that I should have the barrel exercise. They got out and unheaded a big cider barrel, dropped me into it and replaced the head and then all was ready. I was inclined to look upon the proceedings with contempt. I had never been polled in a barrel .and so I had no idea bf the sensations. They first kicked it along the wide, unpaved street, and it had not rolled over more than twenty times when I was sick of my job. After they had enjoyed them selves for a quarter of an hour, I was praying for death to hurry up. "I dimly remember that after they got tired of the football work in the street they rolled the barrel up a Ions hill and then let it go kiting down. You talk of seasickness, but there is no compari son. Aside from the feeling of nausea, I was jarred, jolted and bruised from head to heels, and in one of the bumps had my nose broken. I was unconscious when they finally took me out, and for a week I was little better than a dead man. It was weeks and weeks before I got the revolving motion out of my head and could walk straight, and to this day I can't see a grindstone revolving without being affected by it. It would have been far more merciful to hang me up by the neck." "But about the tar and feathers?" was asked. "Well. I met the old man Black about two years later and he still smelled of the tar. He told me that it took a week s work with soap and water to get the stuff started and that spots were left which couldn't be got off. even when rubbed with a brick. He didn't feel the degrada tion so much, but what hurt his feelings was that he had been obliged to put in more work on that tar than in all his life before. He had tried the barrel racket once, and he thought it a shade worse than tar, but he had no words of sympa thy for me. On the contrary, he said if I hadn't got mixed in the three of them would probably have got off with a ride on a rail." HUMOR OF THE DAY. "I think," remarked the front row pat ron of burlesque shows, as he' climbed into the barber chair, "that I'll have a hair cut." "Yes." answered the tonsorial ar tist. "Which one, please?" Chicago News.
