"War and Queen's -Visit Hare AYorked a Revolution. tCopyrlght. 1900, by Associated Press. London. )Vpril 28. Though the queen has returned to England and her re markable visit to Ireland is now a mat ter of history, the latest fad shows no abatement. Koyalty's presence in Erin failed to make Irishmen flauntingly English; but curiously enough made Englishmen annoyingly "Irish. Of this phase, which began by the universal wearing of the shamrock, there have been several striking examples this week. The lower house of the York convocation, composed of sedate clergy men and laymen of England's northern diocese, has adopted a resolution to put St. Patrick on the pages of the prayer book, from which he was unaccountably missing. St. Andrew is there, but Erin's patron saint was omitted when the re formers re-edited the liturgy. On a par with this action is the agi tation in England over Irishmen's rtsht to wear kilts. Upon this momentous ciin u-i Wm Oibson. son of Baron Ashbourne, lord chancellor of Ireland, has been lecturing to large audi nces In London, dressed in the pic turesque, abbreviated garb generally associated with Scotchmen. He makes an impassioned plea for the divine -iLrht ,,f iiihw-ninns to wear kilts. Mr. i,v.u.,r, ia n Wirnefl vfHiiie man who married a French woman and consist .ntiv resides in England. NTiiw- There is t;l Ik of making the new- Irish guards' brigade masquerade in Viita thm-.e-h the reports which have ome from South Africa telling of the suffering of the bare legged Highland t-rs nrid of the sorrows which are at tached to this out of date uniform, are recent enough to banish the suggestion into tht lnnir list of foolish absurdities. It Is probable that the war oliice will take that view. In r onsiinence with the oueen's per sonal wishes, as many as possible of the new guards' regiment will be mustered for the usual birthday trooping of colors and review ceremonies in London on Way 23. This canonizing and kilting would be merely humorous could the impartial onlooker forget the misery, Poverty and stagnation of industries that prevail throughout southern and western Ireland; but In view ot tne con litlons that exist in that portion of the British Isles, the so-called shamrock craze in England can scarcely be con sidered anything but another instance on the part of a majority of England's people of their complete failure to grasp the nature of Ireland's needs, however well meant, and generous may be these outward skin deep signs of friendship. MILNERS PROCLAMATION. The effects of Sir Alfred Milner's proc lamation requesting ladies to stay in England instead of going out to the Cape are beginning to be apparent in society. lady Henry Benticck and many others returning to London. Lady Ran dolph Churchill was not expected to re turn with the hospital ship Maine. Sir Alfred Milner has not increased his social popularity by his frank utter ances. Most society women preferred the bother and expense of cancelling their arrangements, rather than to face the criticisms attached to a trip so much decried by the high commissioner, but they dislike the author of their troubles more and more now that it is staled that Lord Roberts who approv ed Sir Alfred Milnei's proclamation ca bled to his wife and daughter advising them not to go to the Cape, too late, however to effect his purpose. According to the stories reaching London, Lord Roberts' great kindliness and sympathy have been finding many outlets. During the wait at Bloemfon tein he has visited every man in the hospital, carrying with him many little comforts. Going up to one of the wound ed, he asked cheerily: "Can I do anything for you?" receiv ing the reply, "Yes; I'd like you to keep my name out of the casualty list." This man's name did not appear and his anxiety that his relatives should not be alarmed was appeased. Another, a dying officer. Lord Rob erts comforted by promising to watch over the future of his only child. With such incidents current, it is scarcely surprising that the nation adores its lit tle general and as a whole abstains from criticisms of anything he may do. it i.en. uuiier nad waited inactive as long as Lord Roberts has at Bloemfon tein. the storm of public criticism, and impatinece would well nigh have forced nis recau.

The announcement of Sir HenrV Irving's continued American success wa3 the most welcome morsel the direc tors of the Lyceum had to offer the shareholders of that institution at the annual meeting held this week, where a six per cent dividend was the best that could be announced. The fact that Sir Henry was enabled to escape the vicissi tudes ot the past theatrical season and bask in the sunshine of the United States has been the subject of congrat ulations from many of his personal friends, to whom the news that the Lyceum shareholders are holding a mortgage on him was not. however, quite so satisfactory. In the meantime, Mr. J. w. Comyns Carr, the managing director of the Lyceum, has successfully arranged with Duse for a brief season at the theater, opening May 10, with a repertoire w hich includes "The Second Mis. Tanqueray." Mr. Frohman's partner, Mr. Joseph Humphreys, sailed for New York this week for the purpose of arranging for the production there of a "Royal Fam ily with Annie Russell in one of the principal roles;also of Edward Rostand's lhe Eaglet, which Mr. Louis Parker has just translated.

Canadian School Children to Show Sympathy For Fil ipino Leader. Windsor, Ont., April 2R On May 24, Queen Victoria's birthday. Windsor's board of education will start two del egates for Manila with a resolution of sympathy from 2.500 school children for Aguinaldo, the leader of the Filipinos. This action is to offset the course ta ken by the Philadelphia school children, who ha"e sent a representative to Pres ident Kruger with a resolution of svm pathy fdr the Boers. The resolution, in addition to sym pathy, will show "admiration for the brave stand the Filipinos have taken against the unjust war waged against mem Dy tne Americans." Wen show the Yankees," said the secretary of the board, Alexander Black. that two countries can play the sym- piiuiiy game. Village Destroyed by Fire. Harrisbui'g, Pa., April 28. The little town oi laurel Forse, Cumberland county, was almost wiped out of exist ence last night bv hre. Four dwellings. two barns and two large ice houses were uesiroyea. f orest hres in the vicinity caused the conflagration. The loss is estimated at J50.000, partially insured. ONLY BYFORGE. Sultan Will Not Pay Until Com pelled to Do So. Reply to American Note, if One Be Furnished, WILL BE IN NEGATIVE. Sending of a War Ship to the Mediterranean Is Thought to Be the Only So lution of the Matter. Constantinople, Friday, 'April 27. The United States legation has not received he porte's answer to the note handed to Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish foreign minister, by the American charge d'affaires, regarding the indemnity claims; and the impression is gaining ground that the reply will be in the negative or even that no reply will be made. The latter alternative, however. seems to be unlikely. The general opin ion is that without a display of force the porte certainly will not- pay the claims, because it wishes to show the Moslem world that it only yields to force. It is not considered here that a simple rupture of diplomatic relations will ren der the porte easier to deal with, but a rupture of formal relations is not thought necessary as the sending of a war ship to a Mediterranean port would suffice to v obtain a settlement of the matter in less than 24 hours. The same proposition for a settlement of the indemnity question by an order for a war ship in the price of which the indemnity should be included, was for merly made to France and Italy, but M. Constans and Senor Panza rejected the proposal. The newspaper criticisms and com ments upon Jhe attitude of Turkey in this affair are causing great irritation at the Yildiz Kiosk. WHY RUSSIA? "Paris, April 28. The Figaro, referring to the reported intention of the Lfnited States to make a naval demonstration in the Mediterranean in connection with the indemnity claims says: "It would be interesting to know if a foreign power has the right to take ex ecutive measures against Turkey with out a previous accord with the European powers which signed the treaty of Paris. If Russia has really aavlsed Washing ton to use more moderation, she has acted quite within her rights, but why Russia rather than other powers?" The writer, of the article, who be lieves he has' solved the mystery an swers hie. own 'question in the following way: "Great Britain has an exceptional in terest at present in keeping on good terms with the United States and in rendering still closer the present friend ship between-the two -powers. t This is why. If, contrary to expectations Presi dent McKinley should cause complica tions, London would not be sorry to make an abusive use of Russia's name." TAYLOR BRIEF. Filed in the Supreme Court by His Attorneys. Washington, April 28. Counsel for William S. Taylor and John Marshall in the contest in the supreme court over the offices of governor and lieutenant governor of Kentucky today filed their brief in the case. The brief is signed by J. P. Helm, Helm Bruce and Kennedy Helm as counsel, while the names of ex Governor W. O. Bradley, W. H. Yost, A. E. Wilson, D. W. Fairleigh, W. C. Breckenridge and John Shelby are ap pended as "of counsel." After reviewing the various points In volved in the case the brief concludes as follows: "We will not not attempt any resume of the argument; we have attempted to so divide it as not to confuse it. We simply insist that the pretended 'ad judication' which is pleaded by Mr. Beckham as tne foundation oi nis ac tion whereby he seeks to take from William S. Taylor and John Marshall, the offices to which they certainly ha.d the admitted prima facie right, and whereby he seeks to make himself the governor of Kentucky and the chief magistrate of her people is an absolute nullity; that it was entered or made in violation of rights secured both to Wil liam S. Taylor and to John Marshall and to the people of Kentucky by the constitution of the United States and that when he comes into court asking for the judicial enforcement of this ar bitrary edict the courts of the land of There Are Two 1 nif'J i XSlX J KttR which this is the supreme head, should decline to enforce it. "We feel that, in this case is involved the question of whether we are political freemen or political serfs; whether we have in Kentucky a republic, or an oligarchy; whether we vote by right se cured by the law, or by grace of a few men.

Manila, April 28.-5:30 p. m. Major Gen eral Lloyd Wheaton reports that Senor Paterno, the former president of the Fili pino cabinet, was captured in the moun tains near Trinidad, Province of Benguet, April 25. Paterno, recently, through rela tives in Manila, requested and received permission to enter the American lines, but failed to appear. His relatives ex plained that he had been sick a long time and was an invalid. He was brought to San Fernando on a litter ambulance, by soldiers of the Eighth regiment. SPORT AT U. OF P. Sixth. Annual Belay Race Run Off on Franklin Field. Philadelphia, April 28. The sixth an nual relay race of the University of Pennsylvania was run off on Franklin field this afternoon. Athletes from ev ery large college and from most of the academies and preparatory schools of the eastern part of this country partic ipated in the contests. The number of institutions represented was more than 100 and more than 4o0 athletes were en tered for the various events. Twenty- one of the 27 on on the programme were running races, while the other six were field contests. Many of the performers are stars in their particular specialties and barring the pole vault, there were champions in all the contests. The prin cipal .race of the day was the one mile college relay championship in which Chicago, Princeton, Cornell, George town, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania were entered. Each of these colleges had its four best men entered. The 100 yards dash also excited con siderable interest because of the fast men entered in it. There was among the other fast men, A. 3. Duffy,(Georpe town) the champion of America, J. W. is. iewksbury, (Penn.) the Inter-eolleg- late champion and Mr. Prinstein, the Syracuse university crack man. In the field events there were entered such stars as A. C. Kraenzle, (Penn.) the American inter-collegiate and world's champion broad jumper. I. M. K. Baxter, (Penn.)i the inter-collegiate nigh jumper, K. Jshsldon, (ex-Yale) the world s champion -discus thrower and J. C.McCracken.the inter-collegiate cham pion hammer thrower and shot Dutter. There was great rivalry among the smaller coleg-es and the schools in the one mile relay races. The schools and colleges were divided into classes ac cording to the showing they have made in cast relay races. The weather was beautiful and a large crowu was on nana to see tne races, when the first event was called at 2:30. The track was In good condition.

Wants Regents of Educational Institutions Disposed Of. Health Board an Unnecessary Adjunct of the State. BUT THAT IS NOT ALL. Military Board Is Also Slated For Extinction. Penitentiary Directors, Chari- ties Board and Others. Why the Governor Would Make Wholesale Changes. According to a plan which Governor Stanley says he has formulated the place hunters will be deprived of nearly 100 jobs under the next administration if he is re-elected and the legislature adopts his suggestions as to the abolish ment of boards and other offices. Governor W. E. Stanley, "Who Mr. Stanley has not formulated the text of his recommendations to the leg islature but says he has concluded to recommend the abolishment of the fol lowing boards: State board of health, nine members. State military board, three members. State dental board, five members. Directors state penitentiary, three. Directors state reformatory, three. State board of charities, five mem bers. Board of regents university, seven members. Board of regents state normal, seven members. Regents of Agricultural college, seven members. Live stock sanitary commission, three members. In addition to these places the gover nor will doubtless recommend the re duction of force in numerous institu tions. The governor said to a State Journal reporter while discussing the subject ot state appointments and the number of places now in existence under the state government: "There is no doubt in my mind now that we have too many places to fill, A lot of them ought to be abolished and I propose to recommend such action to the legislature. An educational commission ana i am not sure but what an educational com missioner, could look after the business at the state institutions just as well as the board of regents do. The regents meet at stated intervals and pass upon business handled by the officers of the state schools and then adjourn. There was wisdom in the original creation of such boards but now that we have ad ditional institutions the number of men necessary to attend to the duties cre ated and established under the head of regents and other officials is far too great. It should be cut down, if possi ble, to one man who is a commissioner of education. 'Then as to the military department. At regular intervals a military board meets in this city, the members draw ing good pay, to dispose of official busi ness which js presented By the adjutant general who has already probably done the w-ork. The action of the board is wholly perfunctory and it is not a nec essary adjunct to the state government. The department could exist without such a board because the adjutant gen eral is really the man to whom this bus iness should be entrusted. The governor is the commander-in-chief of all the militia in the state but he simply does things outlined by the adjutant general. The adjutant general should be respon sible for the work in nis department and the Dresence of a military board at I' any time is unnecessary and is a use less expense to tne state. "Then there Is .the state board of health composed of fifteen members who draw per diem and mileage for at tending quarterly meetings. I have no desire, in expressing my opinion on this subject, to antagonize or detract from the merit of the memDers or societies comprising these boards but it seems to me the work which is done by tne Doara could be as .well manased and with much less expense by the secretary or one man who should have all the au thority and power now conferred on the board of health. "There are some state departments which could be, I thir.K, combined with efficiency and in such a manner as would largely decrease the expense now necessary in maintaining- them. "For the management and control of the penitentiary, reform school and state reformatory, I would suggest a board of three members. For the state charit able institutions I would recommend a board of three members," continued the governor. "For the state. soldiers' home at Dodge City I would continue the present plan, a board of three members, and, I would add the requirement that only old soldiers could fill the posi tions. "In place of the live stock sanitary commission of three members I would have one man, a state inspector or com missioner of live stock, who should have absolute control of the whole business of shipping cattle in and out of the state. "I wish to add," said the governor, "that on these boards I would have the law provide that the political party casting at the election prior to the time the appointment would be made, the second highest number of votes should have representation, one member there of. This would entitle the two parties casting the highest vote at the elections to the control of the business affairs of the state. This is a feature I would in sist upon and believe that it is right that the patronage should be so distrib uted." RELIEF MEASURES. Chinese of Victoria Send $500 to Fire Sufferers. Ottawa, Ont., April 28. At a mass meeting of citizens held last night it was decided to instruct the city council to ask the Ontario legislature for leave to borrow $100,000 by issuing debentures to aid the sufferers from the fire in Ot tawa and Hull. General subcommittees were appointed for the purpose of af fording relief. It was decided to build two shelter buildings in Hull. Orders for1 bread and other necessaries were given. The needs for relief are press ing. E. B. Eddy's entire insurance is placed at $650,000, while his loss is about $2,- Outlines His Future Policy Today. 000,00. The insurance is principally in American companies. Booth has only $158,000 insurance and Gilmore and Hughson $187,000. Arch bishop Bruchesi of Montreal has given $500 to the fire sufferers. The Chinese merchants of Victoria have wired ex pressions of sympathy to citizens of fire swept Ottawa and Hull with $500 in token of their sincerity. Several car ioads of provisions, cloth ing, etc., contributed in Montreal have been received. --v HARBISON IS TIRED. Chicago Mayor Takes Measures to Stop the Strike. Chicago, April 28. Mayor Harrison today issued an appeal to the citizens of Chicago to use their influence in set tling the labor troubles here, which in volve practically every branch of in dustry. The city administration, he says, has done all in its power to bring about a settlement by arbitration, but has failed, and Mayor Harrison calls upon public spirited citizens to take up the question and fight it through to termination. After referring to the re fusal of the contractors' association to appear before the arbitration board ap pointed by the city council, the mayor's statement continues: "It is time, it seems to me, for the conservative contractors to withdraw from the contractors' council. If it is in the wrong they should not coun tenance it, and if the building trades' council is in the wrong, the unions com posing it should withdraw." Mayor Harrison also took further steps for the suppression of labor riots and the protection of non-union work men engaged on the buildings in the various parts of the city. In written communications to every police justice of the city, the mayor strongly recom mends that the justices impose the maximum fine of $100 on every case of assault on a non-union workman brought before them, and heavier pun ishment if possible. Through Chief of Police Kipley the mayor has issued to the police an order to the effect that on account of the continued lawlessness and attacks on non-union workmen not more than two union plcketr shouid be allowed near any building in course of construction, and that these pickets should be required to wear some dis tinguishing badge. The order also says that any laxity on the part of the offi cers in protecting the non-union work men from assault will subject the offi cers to trial and summary discharge from the force. Cherryvale Shooters "Win. Parsons, Kan., April 28. The trap shoot held Friday at Cherryvale be tween the gun clubs of CheiYyvale, Chanute, Coffeyville, Parsons and Va leria, I.

To Remarry and Right the Wrongs of Abandoned Wife. Chicago, April 2S. Down In "Ari5:ona a dust-clad man rode up to an adobe hut three days ago. He was a physician and the cowboy who brought him had traveled many miles over the sandy nil's. The doctor entered the little cabin and looked at the man who lay there in the bunk. "You have one week more to live," he said. At that the man in the bunk stirred and raised himself on his elbow. seven aavs." he mnrrmirerl Tien he left the bunk with some effort and wrote a telegram. Today this man, James Garrard Stev- enson, a grandson of Kentucky's old i governor, is to be married to bi3 former wife at his father's home in Woodlawn. lhe telegram he sent from the c-lav- clothed cabin in Arizona, where he had gone after health, was dispatched to his old Missouri sweetheart, who is now clerk in the treasurv department in Washington. It asked her to come to Chicago the lack of words told better than the intent that tie was dying. r esceraay morning she came and found her husband. He was waiting outside the station in a cab. The driver was told to go to the court house, and tnere a license permitting them to re marry was issued. Today the ceremony is to be performed-at the home o David! StevensofrTn "Woodlawn. -Mr. Stevenson will not live another week," said his friend and physician. "It is doubtful whether he will live an other day." Stevenson was born in Glascrow and his former wife in Marshall, Mo. They were married eleven years ago and went to Chicago to live. During the World's fair Stevenson made considerable money in real estate. Six years ago he became ill from following the teachings of a sect which he had Joined. Tne physician intimated that consumption would follow unless he built himself up. Stevenson went to Arizona to improve his health. In the meantime Mrs. Stevenson had left her husband.

Chief Occupation of Lord Rob erts' Army at Present. London, April 28.-2:03 p. m. The British forces in the Orange Free State are still presumably following the Boers northward, but at this hour there is no word from the most interesting field of operations. A dispatch from Ladysmith under to day's date says there are only small parties of Boers in Tintwa pass, but that some hundreds are guarding Van Reenans and Olivershoek passes. Com mandants De Beer and Vannieskerk are in charge and their forces have been bo disposed that the whole body can be massed at any pass the British may at tempt to force. A" dispatch from Dewets Dorp dated Friday,. April 27, says residents of that place claim the strength of the Boer force which recently evacuated the place was six thousand men, with six guns, under German officers. The St. James Gazette this afternoon dealing with the problem of the treat ment of the Free State farmers, sug gests a revival of Gen. Weyler's Cuban concentrado system, "minus the horri ble dishonesty of its execution." ROBERTS' SUMMARY. New York, April 28. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The rigorous censorship has excluded press news from the Free State for twenty-four hours. The war correspon dents, owing to the extensive deploy ment of five divisions and two cavalry brigades, have, with one or two excep tions, returned to headquarters at Bloemfontein and their conjectures re specting the direction of the lines of the Boer retreat and British operations have not been in accord. General Roberts in a midnight dis patch presented a brief summary of the situation as he understood it at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, but left several points in doubt. General Hamilton, with the mounted infantry and one brigade of the Ninth division, had reached Thaba N'Chu, where Gen. French joined him with his cavalry brigades yesterday morning, Rundle's division being a few miles south. The Boers were still hold ing the eastern outlet of the town, and French and Hamilton were preparing to turn them out. Both Hamilton and French had made fine forced marches, but it was not clear whether the main body of the Boers had retired to the Thaba N'Chu from Dewets Dorp or had gone across the country toward Con stantia to effect a junction with Oliv ier"s forces retreating from Wepener. The former theory was more probabie, but even in that case it was'uncertain whether the Boers had remained in forep or had left a rear guard in the town. Genera' Roberts reported that General Brabason with the Yeomanry cavalry had gone as far as Wepener and return ed to Dewets Dorp, where Chermside's division was still halting. Pole-Carew's division was either at Dewetsdorp or was marching toward Thaba N'Chu. There was nothing from Wepener and no other official news except a few cas ualties and a report of an outpost after another Bethulife General Roberts' operations are now conducted on so large a scale that the public here is dazed by them and re quires some definite result, like another Paardeberg, in order to be convinced that he is making progress. The expert regard his maneuvrea as masterly.

TOPIEKA STATE JOURNAL, THUKSDAE EVENING, APRIL 28, 1900. SP0RTINGriE7S New York Police Commissioners Alter Opinions. May Lift the Ban on Ring Con tests After All. LICENSE TO BE GIVEN. Sexton Favors Giving the Sea side Club a Renewal. Jeffries Practically Matched to Meet Sharkey. New Tork, April 28. Followers of the- ring have hopes that boxing in New Tork is not dead, based upon Police Commissioner Sexton's declaration to a friend that he voted "no" upon the application- of the Seaside Athletic club's application last week under a misapprehension. He did not know, he declared, that he was voting on the Coney Island club, which had had a license tor months, but thought the Seaside was a new association. Com missioner Sexton said today: "if I can have my way about it th resolution passed by the police board will be rescinded. I can see no reason why licensed clubs should not be al lowed to continue until September 1. They will be licensed if I can have my say about it." Commissioner Sexton is the big man on the board and his statement is, therefore, given considerable weight. Another evidence of the possibility that boxing is not yet dead is Com missioner Hess' slight faltering from the determined stand he announced last week. Then ho said that he would not vote for a renewal Of boxing license under any condition. Today he de clined to Estate what he would do if a resolution were presented to rescind the one which denied a license to the Coney Island Club. Billy Brady, manager of Jim Jefirles, feels so confident that there is not a heavyweight in the business that can beat his big protege that he is ready now to arrange matches with all of them--Sharkey, McCoy, Ruhlin and Fitzsimmons. "I cannot see," he said today, "where one of these big fellows has a chance of ever whipping Jeffries. I think Jtf ries will make uch short work of Jim Corbett that he will furnish the public with one of the greatest surprises. Im mediately ai'tor that fight is over I will agree to let Jeffries fisrht 'Kid' Mc Coy the following night, Sharkey three weeks after the sailor fights McCoy and Ruhlin three weeks after that light. "In regard to Fitzsimmons, I will let Jeffries tight him in August, but we must get 65 per cent, of the grot3 re ceipts, which he compelled us to give him when Jeff fought him. As I said before, Jeffries is the master of all the heavyweights and I expect to see him beat Corbett in less than ten rounds. "I would not care to take the punch ing that Corbett will get from Jeffries. He is angry at Corbett for th an nouncements the latter has made fre quently that he used to knock out Jef fries every morning before he (Corbett) fought Fitzsimmons in Carson- City." Jim Jeffries and Tom Sharkey are as good as matched to meet in a six round bout at Tattersall's fighting arena in Chicago. Lou Houseman wire J both Sharkey and Billy Brady offering them a guarantee of TO per cent, of the gross receipts for a limited round bout. Brady, without hesitating a moment, wired his acceptance to Houseman. Sharkey also probably will accept the! offer, as he knows that the fighters will receive not less than $S,000 between them. GARDNER WON ON A FOUL. Given the Decision Over Joe Bernstein in Sixteenth Round. New Tork, April 28. Oscar Gardner, the "Omaha Kid," gained the decision os-er Joe Bernstein, of this city, on a foul at the end of the sixteenth round of what was to have ben a twenty five round fight at 124 pounds at the Broadway way Athletic club last nit-ht. Gardner opened the fight, using a hard left Jab followed by right hooks to the body, and wore his opponent down with body blow s. Time and time pgatn Gardner feinted his opponent into awk ward corners, but Bernstein took his punishment gamely and the bell always found him ready and willing. Once in the eighth round Gardner found the lloor with his opponent on top. They struggled out of the diffi culty and several short exchanges fol lowed. In the ninth Bernstein had a shade the better of the argument. The tenth round was hotly contested and the western boy kept his honors well in hand. In the eleventh round Bernstein rushed and landed his right three t'Tnes on the wind, but Gardner countered heavily and the eleventh round ended in a rally of which Bernstein had the better end. They indulged in sparring tactics in the twelfth round and both of them fell from a clinch, Bernstein being the un der dog. Referee White sepaiated them quickly and got them to their feet within ten seconds. When they met aeain Gardner sailed in with It f t and rights to the jaw and neck. Bern stein failed to counter. Gardner played heavily for the bodv landing invariably and blocking ail of isernsrein s leads. Bernstein showed good fighting from a technical stand point, but up to the end of the thir- Dangera from the Cold and Blustery Spring. fFrom the New Tork Herald. 1 "The present fall of temperature ever a large area of country, and the proba bility of its continuance for some time, Is very likely to affect the public health by the increase of all such troubles as commence with the "ordinary cold." In this connection we cannot lose sight of the fact that grip is still prevaiing. and although it has been on the wane there is a threat in the present cold wave of a revival of the former malig nancy of the scourge. we can naroiy congratulate our selves that the danger from pneumonia is likely to be less with th incoming and inclement spring than it was in the months gone by. It goes without the saying, then, that we cannot tak too many precautions." Dr. Humphreys' Specific "S3Verity seven" ("77") restores the checked cir culation (indicated by a sudden chill) the first sign of taking Cold; starts the blood coursing through the veins and so "breaks up" the Cold.

Bernstein drew blood from Gardner's cheek and was on the floor twice from fast work. The rapid pace continued during the fifteenth, most of the fighting- being done during- clinches with one hand fcee. Referee White had to caution Bernstein for hitting during the mixups. Bern stein had all the better of the sixteenth round, but was disqualified for fouling as the bell rang. He undoubtedly transgressed, as he held and. hit after being cautioned several times by the referee. JOHN I. WAS FIERCE. Didn't Knock This Man Out, Just Stunned Him. New Tork, April 28. Frederick Chase of Cleveland, Ohio, who is a great. ad mirer of John L. Sullivan's prowess in the roped arena, told the following story of the former champion at the Victoria hotel: "It happened in the days when Sul livan," said Mr. Chase, "was the world champion and the most feared man in the ring. 'Sully' was touring the coun try with an offer of $250 to any man, bar none, who would stay in the ring with him for four rounds. Many essayed that dangerous feat, and the same number failed. Finally the aggre gation reached one of the largest of our western cities, in which the lending paper was owned by a man who was an all-round sport and who took espe cial interest in matters appertaining to the squared circle. The editor had a young protege who aspired to pugilistic honors in the person of a young butcher who had knocked out all the local 'plug uglks' and was reaching out for other fields to conquer. Him the editor de termined to pit against the great John L., but upon broaching the- subject- to his man the latter promptly interposed countless objections, manifestly in spired by fear. The editor, however, knew John L well, so he sought him out, and after telling him of his pug and what he wanted, said, 'Now, John, let him stay until the last part of the third or first part of the fourth round You can put him out whenever ynu want to, but if you let him last a bit it won't hurt you and it will help him lot.' "The great man pondered for a md ment, continued Mr. Chase, "and then made reply: 'Naw, I won't do it. I've seen dis duck, and he's a big, husky feller, and if be accident he landed a wallop on me jaw, why de next day it d be Sullivan de stiff, and .yours truly" would be drivin' a street car. No. I puts him out as soon as ever I can. and that goes, see!' The editor made another appeal, to which John astutely replied: Say, youse say it can't do me no harm. Why don't you set some bright young feller in your line up in an afternoon pape? The editor, acknowledging the point well taken, retired from the argument. "That night when the time arrived for the bout Sullivan arose from his corner and threw off his bath wrapper. As the editor expressed it afterward he seemed to swell out like an accor dion and then, putting on that awful expression that defeated many an op ponent before a blow was struck, John L called out to the trembling young butcher in the other corner: Say, youse over dere; some frents of youse came to me ter-day and asked me to let you stay till de last of the third or de first of de fort, but I told era nix, I was goin' to knock youse out when I gets de chanst. Since then my think tank s been workin and I ain't goin ter knock youse out at all. I'm a-soin' ter' and here Mr. Sullivan surveyed his prospective victim with a diabolically bloodthirsty smile 'I'm just a-goin' ter stun yer.' With a howl, like an en trapped beast the editor's protege fled from the stage and from the realms of pugilism for all time." NATIONAL LEAGUE. AT CHICAGO. Attendance 3,2tX).

Intercollegiate Committee Meets in New York To-Morrow. New Haven, Conn., April 28. Mr. Walter Camp, Yale's athletic adviser, who is chairman of the rules commit tee of the Intercollegiate Football as sociation, sent out a call for a meeting of the rules committee. The meeting will be held in New Tork today. The chief changes in the rules that will be considered by the committee- are as fol lows: A rule to prevent coaches and players coaching from the side lines. The senti ment on this point seems to be that only the elevens should be allowed with in the gridiron inclosure. The next most important change that may be made will be in reference to scoring. Some of the colleges want the value of a goal from the field decreased. Finally, some of the colleges want a new rule in regard to the' privilege of giving up the ball or giving twenty yards to retain possession of the ball.

His Excellency has been kept somewhat in the dark, but the statement has become public here that he has gone a mile and an eighth in one second better time than has either of the candidates at Louis ville. Lee a Kansas Player. Kansas City baseball fans are crazy over the splendid pitching of Lee, who was with different Kansas clubs last year, and a funny thing is that Kansas City imagines it discovered Lee. As a matter of fact, Lee was a pitcher from the day he held Atchison down to two hits at Forest park last summer. At the same time El wood Eyler, now with Denver, was pitching equally good ball for Atchison, but if anybody ventured the assertion that these men were good enough for the leagues he was hooted at by Kansas City people.

Captain McCarthy.constructirig quar termaster will be in charge of the work at Fort Leavenworth, and when he ar rives he will bring the plans and spec ifications with him. From what little information the post authorities have received, the new $60,000 hospital will be erected on the plot of ground, west of the Catholic church. The artillery bar racks, stables and gun sheds, will be erected in the immediate vicinity of the West End parade, where there is plenty of room for new buildings: The new bachelor quarters, it is pro posed to build opposite the present bachelor quarters, Schofield hall, on Mc Clelland avenue.

The Usual Daily Romance of the Wichita Reporter Arrives, r Wichita, Kas., April 28. "Bushels of gold lay hidden in caves along the banks and in the bed of Grand river, Cherokee Indian nation," T. W. Nichols, a veteran explorer from the Indian Ter ritory, said today in talking of the west. "But the question to me and hundreds of other miners is, how to get at It. I know it is there, because I have seen it; but to carry it away I was afraid. The Indians guard their treasures night and day. A man simply puts his life in their hands when he goes searching around Grand river; but gold attracts nearly every person. Many a poor devil has been killed while searching the hills lor these treasures. "In the first place-, I want to tell you why I know the gold i3 there. History proves it. In 1828, just about the time the Cherokees arrived in the Chei-okee nation, a party of Spaniards passed through the country now occupied by the Cherokees. They stopped to rest in the urand river bottoms. The Cher okees came upon them and slew the whole outfit. These Spaniards carried about $8,000,000 worth of gold. The In dians buried it in a cave and the. secret was given into the hands of the Kee too-wahs. This is a powerful secret society. For three-quarters of a cen utry they have guarded this gold. In 1S98 a party of white men, twelve in number, learned where several pots of the gold were buried and they attempt ed to steal it. Four of them were killed. "I have visited, the caves and have seen the gold, but dared not take it away for fear of being overtaken and killed." IOLA'S ENGINEER. Man Selected to Prospect For Water and Test the Flow.

The catch of salmon in the Penobscot river weirs has fallen off greatly within the past two years, so that a number of fishermen who have relied upon their summer's work to tide them through the long winter have abandoned their privileges and are planting wide areas to land crops to make up for the deficit from the sea. Thirty years ago when the United States established a salmon hatchery on Craig's Brook in the town of Orland, very few salmon came into the river. Choice cuts sold for $2 a pound early in the season and never went below 40 cents. C. G. At kins who has been in charge of the sta tion since its construction caused salmon fry to be planted in the cold streams and lakes along the Penobscot watershed, and in less than ten years the poorest family couli afford salmon on its table. For ten years succeeding 1876 a number of weirs at the head of Verona and in Penobscot Narrows had an average catch of ten sal mon at every tide. The fish were big and fat. In spite of the low prices which pre vailed on account of bringing In cases of canned calmon. from Oregon and Alaska the weir owners made money and were in a fair way to get rich when the up-river pulp mills began to pollute the water and discourage the flsh from going beyond th mouth of the river. The value of the salmon caught In the weirs in the summer of 1SS0 was esti mated at $15,000. Five years later, It had risen to $20,000. Then the catch dimin ished rapldlv, so that it was no more than J8.000 In 1SS)5 and hardly J3.000 in 1S99. This year the outlook is very gloomy. In former years from twenty to thirty sal mon were taken with hook and line at the pool above Bangor before the middle of April, and a half dozen men made good wages setting nets between Bangor and Hampden. Though the first salmon taken by fly fishing was caught on April 1. the record of the pool up to April 15 of this year was only two fish for the season. The men who owned nets put them out and watched them closely for a fortnight without getting anything more valuable than a few conger eels. Then they hired out in the Bawmills and hung their nets up to dry. The weirs on the shores of Bucksport, Prospect, Stockton, Verona and Searsport have fared little better Far down the river at the foot of Briga dier's Island a few salmon have been caught, but the weirs that have made the river famous for half a century take nothing but alewives, aculpins and floun ders.

The dispatch reads: "It is asserted here that the Santa Fe will extend its road from Amarillo.Tex- as, to Albuquerque, across Guadalupe, San Miguel, southern Santa Fe and Bernalillo counties, cutting off the dif ficult grades of the Raton pass and of northern New Mexico, for its through trains from Chicago and Kansas City, thus shortening its line to Los Angeles and San Francisco by several hundred miles. The Denver Rio Grande has an en gineering corps out surveying for an extension to Albuquerque and White Oaks, there to connect with the El Paso Northeastern railroad for El Paso. The first extension will be 20 miles to Bland, by way of White Rock canon. A site for a bridge to cross the Rio Grande directly west of Santa Fe has been se lected and the contract has been let for 50,000 ties to be delivered at Espanola n May. President Jeffery has long fa vored tapping the Cochiti district, but until now the foreign bondholders of the Denver Rio rGande have opposed the project. It is said they have now yield ed to tne demand for the road.

"Dutch" Postelwaite, one of the most popular firemen on the Kansas division of the Union Pacific, died a few days ago in the company's hospital as the result of injuries received in a wreck. Fifteen minutes before he died he fin ished dictating the following letter to one of his old railroad friends in Kansas: 'Dear Paul It has been a long time since I wrote to you, so 1 thought I would write you for the last time. I am dying. I have been a fireman for the Union Pacific railroad company. and last night, when coming down from Como with the daily express, it com menced to snow so hard we could not see ten feet ahead of the engine.

Revised Block Signal Rules. Revised block-signal rules were un animously adopted by the American Railway convention. The rules were revised for the purpose of prescribing uniformity of operation under the sev eral systems of block signaling so far as practicable, and of harmonizing the language of the rules with tnat or tne rules relating to the operation and maintenance of interlocking plants. Some of the changes recommended by the committee will require that a few alterations shall be made in the phrase ology and arrangement of rules for in terlocking in order that uniformity may be had. Device Adopted by Santa Fe For Com fort of the Cooks. There are in the Santa Fe shops in tnis cit-y two dining cars whicii are be ing repaired and refitted.

In the absence of Governor Stanley, of Kansas, who. was unable to be pres net, Judge Slonecker, of Topeka. Kan., preserted the views of that section. He said that Kansas, like Colorado, felt a personal interest in the exposition.

I tried wearing plasters but they did me no good whatever. In connection with this kidney trouble I was subject to chronic headaches. I was advised to try Dr.Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

Governor btanley recently wrote a railroad acquaintance at Newton, who is a prominent trainman in the em ploy of tne Santa re, asking for an estimate of the number of railroad men deprived of their votes at general elections by being on the road election day. The Santa Fe man replied that he believed 2,000 to be a fair estimate. The governor's reason for wanting this information is contained in his letter, which reads as follows: "You remember you spoke to me be fore I was elected, calling my atten tion to the fact that a number of train men were deprived of their votes by be ing compelled ta go out on their runs FROM HERINGTON.

A cloud burst. accompanied by a high wind descended ,t this nitv vesterdav and the result is that eight people are known to have perished in the city limits and property valued at several thousand dollars has been destroyed or injured. The known dead are: MRS. NANCY CAUDLE. MISS CLARA CAUDLE. ROSE CHAPMAN. EMMA DECKER. THOMAS CAPPS. FRANK WALKER. two tm P'.fiRO MEN. names unknown. The downnour of rain commenced about noon and was incessant until dark. It was in the shape of a water snout and the rise in the creeks and branches was so rapid that it did not give the inhabitants time to flee. Three persons, two women and a man, all col nred. were drowned within a hundred yards of the city hall. Their bodies were washed in to the Brazos river and have not been recovered. There were several people, most negroes, standing on a bridge watching the rapid rise of Bar ron's branch when the bridge, a brick structure, gave way without warning precipitating them into the water. The number positively known to have been drowned within the city limits is eight and it is almost certain that several more lives have been lost. Searching parties are out looking for the drowned and helping to move tnose wno are in danger or distress. In the southern part of the city where the two white women, Mrs. Caudle and her daughter lost their lives the rise was the highest ever known. The damage done by the storm will be heavy. Incoming reports indicate that one of the heaviest rain falls experienced in years visited many sections of the state and rivers and smaller streams are again rising rapidly. AH points along the Brazos and Colorado rivers have been notified, and while much damage to property may result from another rise yet it is believed that the timely warning was sent to those who live in the valleys to fully protect themselves. Reports from Belmont and Rockport state that the storm was especially se vere in those sections. ggj SAMPSON'S REPLY To the Men Who Were Left Out of His Prize Money Suit. Washington, April 28. Admiral Samp son has filed an answer to the petition of Commander Eaton of the United States steamer Resolute that he and officers and men of that vessel be in cluded In the suit brought by Admiral Sampson for award of prize niuney. Commander Eaton in his petition filed last September stated that the Resolute participated in the engagement when the Spanish squadron was defeated off Santiago and the officers and men are therefore entitled to prize money, al though they were not mentioned in Ad miral Sampson's suit. The answer filed says the truth of the statements recited by Commander Eaton are neither admitted nor denied, but that all questions of fact or law drawn into question by the petitioner are to be determined by the suit.

General Manager Sludge Returns Today From Chicago. An Important Conference With "Vice President Barr. ONLY 12 ACRES NEEDED Mr. Barr Decides on Plaecs of Mudge and Player. Topeka Sure of Shops If She Will Raise the Money. The Amount Necessary Is 'Greatly Reduced. General Manager Mudge of the Santa Fe returned at noon today from Chi cago, bringing: with him the informa tion that Vice President Barr had ap proved the plans made by Superintend ent of Machinery John Player for the shop improvements in this city. These plans contemplate the purchase of but twelve acres of land in place of twenty two, which was originally asked for by the company. The big locomotive erecting stoop, which has been under consideration by the Santa Fe management for several years, and several small shop buildings, in addition to the building for the con struction of which money has already been appropriated, are included in Mr. Player's plans. The superintendent of machinery says the twelve acres will be adequate for the company's needs for several years to come. The tract extending from the main line tracks to Seward avenue and from the car sheds to Branner street repre sents the twelve acres which the Santa Fe wants. It was at first thought that the ground as far east as Chandler street would be needed. Mr. Mudge said today that Mr. Barr is not willing that more than $500 per acre should be paid for the land. The difference between $6,000 and the aggre gate price demanded by the several property holders will have to be raised by the people of Topeka. The executive committee of the Com mercial club, appointed to handle the matter, will meet with Mr. Mudge Monday. After this conference the work of raising the necessary money for the purchase of the land will be taken up in earnest. The approval of Mr. Player's plans by Vice President Barr practically makes this Santa Fe shop improvement cer tain for Topeka. The exact amount necessary to be raised has not yet been determined, but it will be materially ltss than the amount which would have been necessary in the event the com pany demanded the original twenty two acres. It should be a comparatively easy task for the Commercial club commit tee to raise this money. The proposition is the biggest from a commercial stand point that has come up in Topeka in recent years. The business men can not help appreciate the benefits to be de rived from the proposed improvements, and give liberally toward the fund as a result. The shops that will be built this year will employ 300 additional workmen. In a short time the wages of these men will have equalled the amount raised for the purchase of the necessary land, and this money will be distributed in Topeka as are the wages of the hun dreds of men who are now given em ployment here by the Santa Fe. But this is by no means all. The ben efits to accrue to the city in general by the improvements planned for this year are small compared with the benefits to be derived from the improvements con templated, and which are included in the plans prepared by Mr. Player. The securing of additional shops this year insures the construction of the locomo tive erecting shop and other new build ings becoming more needed every day because of the rapidly increasing busi ness of the road. With a modernly equipped erecting shop the Santa Fe will build all locomotives In Topeka, and this will mean an increase of sev eral hundred men to the shop forte in this city. Many more men will find em ployment in the auxiliary shop depart ments. The Santa Fe road is now one of the greatest railways in the country. With the contemplated improvements com pleted, Topeka will easily rank among the most important railroad shop towns in the United States. This conference of General Manager Mudge with Vice President Barr. who has the matter in charge, is a most im portant one for Topeka. The adoption of Mr. Player's plans by Mr. Barr after they had been carefully considered by Mr. Mudge, puts the matter in encour aging shape. HO INTERFERENCE. Europe Is Not Meddling in Af fair With Turkey. Washington, April 28. The United States government has not received the slightest intimation from any European nation of a disposition on its part to interfere in any manner in the present dispute between the United States and Turkey over the American indemnity claims. It may also be stated on the best authority that none of the repre sentatives of the European powers in Washington has requested the state department to deliver itself of any ex planation of its intention affecting Tur key, nor does our government anticipate any interference by third parties in this matter so long as our claims are con fined to their present perfectly legiti mate basis. All that can be stated by authority respecting Mr. Griscom's course at Con stantinople is contained in the general declaration that he is pursuing instruc tions to insist to the Turkish govern ment upon a redemption of its promise to pay the American indemnity claims. Naturally the officials decline to inti mate what steps will be resorted to in case Mr. Gri scorn s request is denied. They prefer to believe that the demand will meet with success. The phase to be feared is procrastination on the part of the Turkish government, something harder to meet than an unqualified re fusal to pay. It is understood that Mr. Griscom is shaping his representations to the porte with special reference to the avoidance or this pitfall. A Horrible Outbreak.

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quickly, Painlessly, Without Danger. People go along for years, suffering with piles. They try this, and that, and the other thing, from earning a buck eye to getting treatment from a physi cian. They obtain temporary relief, maybe, but they are never quite cured. A little strain in lifting, excessive fati gue, a little constipation, or a little diarrhoea, and the piles come back. They don't seem to amount to much, but they banish sleep and appetite. No position is comfortable, 'mere is in tense local pain and that dreadful, ag onizing feeling of weight in the per ineum. Maybe in the early stages some of the many salves on sale will aftord tem porary relief. If the case is of long standing there is only one speedy and surer remedy. It is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in light cases it is the safest thing to use. Other applications may cure and may not. Pyramid Cure is always certain, always reliable, always brings comfort at once. Its prompt use saves months of severe suffering, in extrem cases it will save surgical operations and their attendant dangers and dis comforts. It is better than the knife. Will cure easier. Quicker and safer. Thousands have used it. Thousands have been cured by it. The cost is tri fling compared with what it does. The price is one dollar. Most anybody would gladly pay ten dollars to be rid of piles. Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure.

Mr. Pettigrew called up his resolu tion "expressing sympathy for the South African republics and our best hopes for the full success of their de termined contest for liberty." Mr. Lodge (Mass.) inquired if the res olution had ever been considered by a committee. "It has not," replied the president pro tem.

Anti-Nichols Republican Com mittee to Meet Tonight. The committee which has been ap pointed by the dissatisfied Republicans for the purpose of conferring with the Democrats and Populists with reference to selecting a candidate for county at torney, will hold its first meeting to night in Robert Stone's office for the purpose of organization and a prelimi nary discussion. It will, also probably fix a time for a conference between the three forces which will line up in oppo sition to the election of Galen Nichols. The committee has not yet canvassed the situation. It is probable that it will take no definite action until the Demo crats and Populists are heard from. All realize that harmony is essential to suc cess. The candidates mentioned at this time are John F. Switzer, George W. Clark, L. A. Stebbins and W. E. Atchison. "When the subject was first mention ed to me," said Mr. Switzer today, "I thought that I would have nothing to do with it. But I have since concluded that if the three forces will unite I will consent to make the race. But if there is to be any dissension I will not do it. I could not accept the office anyway if it would compel me to give up my pri vate practice. I am not a politician and have never participated in conventions to any extent, but I am a Democrat po litically, and if I should run it would be on Democratic principles. I am not a prohibitionist, but I do not believe in the whisky interests dictating in poli tics, and when they do that as they seem to have done I believe it is time they should be rebuked." Mr. Clark is probably better known in political circles than is Mr. Switzer, be cause he has mingled more or less in Populist conventions. Mr. Clark has a good clean record as a man and as a lawyer of ability has consented to accept the nomination if the various factions consider him the most available candidate. Mr. Stebbins is a Populist and Mr. Atchison is a Democrat with Populist leanings. The feeling that Mr. Nichols was nominated by fraud, is wide spread. Coming with it is the desire that a re buke should be administered that will tend to honest primaries. No nomina tion should be sufficient to an election, if the nomination is unfairly made. However, if Mr. Nichols Is to be defeat ed, the utmost care must be used in the selection of the right man as his oppo nent. This being presidential year, and the year in which a state ticket will be chosen, the party whip will "cracked" to the utmost extent. Mr. Nichols has the advantage of being the regular par ty nominee. His opponent must have elements of popularity, ability and in tegrity which will overcome the machine nomination; other wise failure will re sult. The meeting of the committee of anti fraud Republicans tonight will be for the purpose of organization and pre paring a plan for conference with the Democrats and Populists.

Senator Mark Hanna spoke at the Grant ban quet last night on "The Greatest Cen tury:" The national chairman began his ad dress with some humorous remarks which put his hearers in a good humor. He then told of the wonderful progress of the country during the century, say ing that in round numbers the net bal ance of the trade in favor of the United States in her commerce with the world is $311,000,000. That was our gain in a century. "During the last S years of Repub lican rule the acme of Republican suc cess, the balance in our favor is 11,400,- 000.000, Jl. 100,000.000 more in three years than all the net gain for one hundred years preceding. In this sentence the whole story is told of the closing days of the greatest century of the United States." After telling how the administration of President McKinley had changed the map ot the world, he told what should be done in the beginning of the next century, namely: "Continue the Re publican party and its colicv In power. He said the only promise made by the Republicans four years ago was the forging of the connecting link be tween the producer and the foreign markets. t want to see the American flag upon the high seas again, with the restoration ot our power and our influence in Chris tianizing and civilizing the world. Do you know that today we are only car rying in American bottoms 7 per cent of the foreiirn t radf of thft United States. Do you know that today we are ikying annually into the pockets of for eign ship owners $200,000,000 a year. It is in the power of the Republican party to stop that export of money. Of the thousands and hundreds of thousands of tons of shipbuilding in-' England. Ger many and France and Italy, wre have scarcely one vessel on the docks in the united states." Mr. Hanna's address closed the m-o- gramme and at about 1:45 in the morn ing tne banqueters Dispersed. Tonight the Flints will close their successful engagement with their usual ounaay night programme. A NINE-FOOT RISE. Is Sweeping Down From the Headwaters of the Trinity. Dallas, Tex., April 28. The floods show no signs of receding. On the con trary, most of the "lexas rivers are ris ing. A Fort Worth telegram at 10 o'clock says the Trinity river has over flowed, doing much property damage. The people are alarmed for the safety of the waterworks, which are seriously threatened. A nine-foot rise is sweep ing down from the headwaters of the Trinity. A bulletin from Waco at 10:SO o'clock says the list of dead there will reach from ten to fifteen persons. The property damage in the city will exceed $150,000. The telegraph lines of both companies are gone south of Waco, isolating more than one-half of the state. The railroad movements are abso' lutely suspended south of Dallas on al most every line in the state. The loss by flood and hurricane since yesterday morning is estimated at three to five million dollars, including damage to railroads and crops. The damage to railroads is immense in Hill, McLennan, Williamson, Bell, Colorado, Bastrop and adjoining counties. The telegraph com panies have large forces of line men trying to make repairs. The reports re ceived from southern and central Texas state that great destruction has oc curred. A bulletin from Galveston at noon says: The government weather report shows the whole state was visited by yesterday's storm. The greatest pre cipitation was In Temple and Waco, be ing six inches. Three boys in a row boat in Galveston bay are believed to have perished. Another storm, to last two days, was at noon predicted by the govern ment weather bureau. The Brazos val ley is expected to be flooded from Waco to the Gulf. The water at Sealey is now up to the highest point reached la the distastrous flood of last July." DEMOCRATIC LOGIC. Those Who Are Not For Bryan Are Against Him. New York. April 28. The state com mittee of the Chicago platform Democ racy held a meeting here last night ana ratified the' action of its convention committee in changing the time and place of holding its state convention from May 21, in Albany, to May is, in this city. In an address which the state com mittee has issued under the caption "of interest to Democrats of New York, "the committee says that it is the intention at the coming convention to select del egates to the national convention be cause the regular organization is con trolled by men who do not represent the party, who did not support Bryan in 18D6, and who are in reality antagonistic to Democratic principles. Of these state leaders the committee says: These men do not come out in the open and say: 'We are for Bryan and the Chicago platform, with the addition of planks against trusts and imperial ism,' but resort to all sorts of subter fuge and equivocations. They do not say: We will send an instructed delegation, so there can be no question raised.' No. on the contrary they say: 'It is not the custom to send an instructed delegation from this state' and 'iammany representatives in con gress and others prominent in this po liticai circle come out in advocacy of Dewey and any kind or a platform ex cept the reaffirmation of the platform of 1S96. We think you will agree with us that these men cannot be trusted. "There would not be a particle of doubt of securing a Bryan delegation from New York if his opponents would meet us in a fair and manly way. They refuse to put up delegates openly pledged to anything, but it can only be for the purpose of deceiving the voters into voting for delegates supposed to be for the Chicago platform and Bryan, out wno would turn out in the conven tion to be against him. Any delegates who refuse to be instructed to vote for Bryan do not intend to vote for him. and any delegate who is not pledged ror Bryan, is secretly pledged against mm. RAILROAD ASSESSORS. Board Adjourns to Monday When Telephones Will Be Considered. The state board of railroad assessors has adjourned until Monday, when the assessment of telegraphs and tele phones will be considered.

A crowd of nearly a hundred mturiated men and boys chased Doc Thomas, a colored Pull man car porter off the dock into the lake at the foot of Thirty-seventh street today and but for the timely arrival of the police would probably have stoned him to death in the water. Thomas and another colored man named Taylor quarreled while fishing and Taylor was cut in the hand with a knife by Thomas. Botn then began to burl stones, and during the fusillade a woman was struck in the head and knocked sense less. The crowd at once went after Thomas.yelling "lynch him, "finally forc ing him off the pier into the lake, where in water up to his neck, Thomas brand ished his knife and dared them"to come on." A perfect hail of stones then fell around Thomas, but before he was ser iously injured the police arrived and af ter severely clubbing several in the crowd, rescued Thomas. The woman's injuries were not serious. A HOPELESS TASK. Kentucky Prohibitionists See Failure and Give TJp a Convention. Owensboro, Ky., April 28.

GEN. MERRIAM TESTIFIES. Details Hia Connection With Suppre ssion of Wardner Kiots. Washington, April 28. The examina tion of General Merriam was continued at the Cour d'Alene investigation be fore the military committee of the house. He explained in detail his in structions. In a telegram from Secre tary Alger of May 31 he had referred to General Merriam's "original instruc tions." General Merriam testified tltet he had never received any "original Instruc tions" beyond the direction to proceed to Idaho to put down the insurrection. He had applied to the department twice for these "original instructions," but they had not been furnished, and he had come to the conclusion that Secre tary Alger was in error. Regarding the incident of the pump men at the Tiger and Poorman mine, he said Governor Steunenburg had asked what could be done to save the mine m case the men declined to take out permits. He had replied that he did not feel competent to advise. He knew that to have al lowed the mine to be filled up with water would have destroyed it as effect ively as to have blown it up with dyna mite. Attorney Robertson conducted the cross-examination of General Merriam. In replv to a series of questions, Gen eral Merriam testified that martial law was declared by the governor of Idaho, upon whose request the United States troops were furnished, and that the sec tion of the revised statutes requiring the president to proclaim a state of in surrection did not apply. Some of the federal troops, he testified, were in Idaho and some on their way there be fore martial law was declared May 3. He had telegraphed to the war de partment that he would exercise mar tial law if action was not disapproved by the department. "Was that your intention?" asked Mr. Robertson. It was," replied General Merriam, 'but it was not exercised. It was my intention to scrutinize travel outward bound from the scene of the trouble. The governor proclaimed martial law on May 3." Up to the time of his arrival 1ZS ar rests had been made. Mr. Robertson sought to gain an admission that some of these arrests were made prior to the governor's proclamation, but Gen eral Merriam denied this emphatically Drodueinz his telegrams to show that when he ordered the arrests he stated martial law was declared. When he had directed that arrests should be made by deputies he had not conceded that troops could not cave maae trie arrests directly and without warrants under martial law. Do you think that under the condi tions that obtained in the Coeur d'Alene it was proper and reasonable to hold prisoners from 4 to 6 months without examination 'I am not prepared to answer 'no, replied Gen. Merriam. "I do not know all the attending conditions and cir cumstances." 'Did you take any means of examina tion or otherwise to determine the in nocence of the prisoners for your own information or that of the president of the United States;" "I did not." "Did you take any means to determ ine their probable innocence?" No, further than to urge preliminary examination by the civil authorities. "You convened no military court to try those prisoners. I did not. The state courts were open. You took no pains to determine whether information had been lodged against the men arrested? I did not. 'You then lent soldiers to deputies who made arrests? I did not. I sent soldiers to protect deputies and to receive and safeguard prisoners. Do you think there can be civil offi cers under martial law?" "I do emphatically." "Deputies exercising the functions of military officers? "Yes, under the direction of the gov ernor. BREIDENTHAL AT HEAD. Will Probably Be Chairman of Sioux Falls Delegation. The Indications are that John W. Breidenthal will be chairman of the Kansas delegation of eighty-four mem bers to the national convention of Pop ulists at Sioux Falls May 10. Mr. Breidenthal is a member of the national committee for Kansas and the general sentiment of the delegates is in favor' of the election of the candidate for governor as chairman of the Kansas contingent. The Kansas delegates have been in vited to stop off at Omaha and attend an elaborate banquet which takes place a day or two prior to the national conven tion. The arrangement has been made so the visitors to the national convention from the states adjoining Kansas and those further south may avail them selves of the opportunity to meet the Nebraska Populists and hear Bryan and other men of note at this banquet. number of the Kansas men have sign fled their desire of accepting this lnvl tation and there is considerable corre spondence now in progressconcerning it, TEST EIGHT HOUR LAW Labor Commissioner Causes Arrest of Contractors for Violation.

Over Two Hundred Guests Attend Brooklyn Union League Dinner. New York, April 28. Over 200 guests attended the eleventh annual dinner last night at the Union League club. Brooklyn, to commemorate the seventy eighth anniversary of the birth of Gen eral U. S. Grant. The dinner was given by U. S. Grant post No. S27 G. A. R-, and the Union League club. Attached to the menu there was a ca per on which was inscribed "Ulysses S. Grant, eighteenth president of the Uni ted States, soldier, statesman and au thor," and continued a chronological summary of the events in his career. Post Commander H. V. Kniaht. of Grant Post, presided, and with him at the guests' table were Stewart L. Wood ford, ex-minister to Spain: Commander John L. Baker, Corporal James Tanner, Charles E. Littlefield, congressman from jviaine; w 1111am E. Pulsifer, president of the Union League club; David W. Boody, ex-mayor of Brooklyn, and Henry A. Powell. Chairman Knight as toastmaster, made an introductory ad dress. Congressman Littlefield of Maine spoke to the toast of "U. S. Grant." He said that notwithstanding his military record his mission was one of peace. The otner speakers of the evening were David Boody, responding to the toast of "Grant the Exponent of National Purpose." Corporal Tanner on "Our War and Our Boys War," and Henry A. Powell, his toast being "The Citizen Soldier." RENEWED DEMANDS. Being Made on China by TJ. S. Minis ter Conger. New York, April 28. A special to the Herald from Washington, says: Minister Conger has informed the state department that he is making re newed demands upon the Tsung-li-yamen for protection, to Americans in China, The department advices are to the effect that the hostility of the Chinese to the missionaries has now extended to all foreigners, and Minister Conger's latest representations deal with the pro tection of American salesmen who are traveling in the empire. Commander Burwell. commanding the gunboat Wheeling, which is at Taku, has reported her presence there to Minister Conger and will co-operate with the latter In protecting American interests. It is the expectation of administra tion officials that Rear Admiral Remey will place a sufficient force under Rear Admiral Kempff's command adequately to protect American interests in China. Admiral Kempff will probably be charged with matters relating to Amer ican interests in Asia, while Admiral Remey will devote his attention more especially to the Philippines. It is the belief of the officials that Rear Admiral Kempff will proceed with his flagship to Chinese waters, and the presence of a flag officer and several American vessels at Taku will undoubt edly have a good effect upon the Tsung li-yamen.

Mr. Breidenthal claims 355 delegates are for him. This is nearly 100 more than are necessary to a nomination. ONLY WAY OUT. Mr. Householders' Solution of Third District Muddle, Senator M. A. Householder made the following statement concerning the Third district congressional muddle: "Congressman Ridgley will be the fusion nominee, or at least he will be the Populist nominee. The conditions are such that nothing else- can be done. If a new man is given the nomination both the Populists and Democrats will demand the place. So the only way to avoid trouble is to renominate Ridg ley." jThe Democrats say if Ridgley is nom inated they will also nominate a can didate. In fact the Democrats threaten to name a candidate and to keep him in the race and demand the endorsement of the Democrats by the Populists. The convention will be held at Par sons next month and a lively time is promised because both factions now claim they will not budge an inch from the positions of insisting upon, having the nominee.

A special to the Times from Richmond, Va., says: The question of calling a constitu tional convention in Virginia, primarily for the disfranchisement of the negroes. has been practically settled so far as the Democrats are concerned. A ma- ority of the delegates to the Demo cratic state convention, which meets at Norfolk, on May 2, are instructed in favor of making the call for the con vention a party Issue. This matter Is now the absorbing one in Virginia, and the demand lor the disfranchisement or the negroes and other constitutional re forms has entirely overshadowed the original purpose for which the Norfolk meeting was called. The constitution under which the peo ple now live was adopted in 1869 by what was known as the Underwood con vention. That body was composed of northern settlers and negroes. The white people of Virginia, very many of whom were then disfranchised, had ittle or no part in formulating the or ganic law under which they have since lived. There is an overwhelming sen timent in the state in favor of elimi nating the colored vote from its poll tics forever. This can only be accom plished by constitutional revision. The elimination of the black vote is de manded not only from the great black belts of Virginia, but also by the white counties. Some of the largest and most influential elected delegations are in structed to favor a convention. The keynote of this radical suffrage reform has been sounded by the decla rations of some of the great negro counties. These, in effect, insist that the present political conditions cannot continue in the Old Dominion. The plain explanation of these declarations is that the people are tired of the means which they have been forced to coun tenance in order to retain white su premacy in tne state, rney now de mand that a constitution! convention shall be assembled and the negroes re moved from politics. The elements opposing this movement are the great corporations, the local office holders, and the Republicans. Some of the Democrats, including Gov ernor Tyler, have' taken the position that their party cannot carry the con vention at the polls on May 28. They insist that the elements named, with the addition of the illiterate white, will defeat it. MANY SUBJECTS Treated at Today's Meetings of Ecu menical Conference. New Tork, April 28 Bishop Hendrix of the Methodist Episcopal church south, opened the devotional exercises of the Ecumenical conference today at Carnecie hall. At 10 o'clock the prin cipal meeting of the day began at which the general subject, btuaents ana Other Young People" was considered. Prof. J. Ross Stevenson and H. J. Duncan both spoke on the topic "The Achievements. Present Position ana Significance of Missionary Movements Among Students Throughout the World." The Rev. Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall, president of the Union Theological seminary, read a lengthy paper on "The Young Men of the Future Ministry; How to Fire them with the Missionary Passion and make them Leaders of Missionary Churches." 4 In the course of his remarks Dr. Hall said: "The problem of the divinity school is. not how to train an occasional man for the foreign field, but how to kindle the missionary passion in every man that passes through the school, that he may thereby become an able minister of Christ. The conception of the life of the divinity school as a life trans fused and saturated with the spiric of the missions is founded upon two prac tical needs. The need of the man who may possibly have the gifts for service abroad; the need or tne man wno snau enter the nast orate at home. The papers were followed by a gen eral discussion by the delegates. They were limited to five minutes each. At the same time a sectional meeting was being held at the Central Presby terian church, the general subject be- I ing "Non-Christian Religions. The meeting was led by J. H. Mc Laughlin, of China. "The Right Attitude of Christianity Toward Non-Christian Faiths" was the subject spoken upon by the Rev. Dr. John H. Barrows, president of Oberlin college. "The Religious Condition of India as Seen from the Missionary Standpoint" was the subject of a paper by the Rev. W. S. Sutherland. The Rev. George W. Wm. Knox, of v'ew York, spoke on "The Ethical and Philosophical Systems of China and Japan." Mohammedism and Christian Mis sions" was the subject discussed in a paper by Rev. C.

May Be Nominated by Democrats Though Shively Seems Slated. Indianapolis, Ind., April 2S. The nomination of Col. W. T. Durbm for governor by the Republicans has brought out a revival of the talk of Thomas Taggart for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. It was cited today that if Durbin is to be a business men a candidate, as he expressed him self in letters asking for support, it would be well to nominate one that is pre-eminently a business man against him, and the mayor was mentioned as the logical candidate. There has been talk m the air for some time that the J lemocrats would do well to nominate Taggart if the Republicans should nominate Durbin, it being generally recognizea mat laggart is a good or Kanizer and capable of holding his own wun uurDin in getting votes. Mr. Tag gart is now in New Mexico. The majority of the Democrats be lieve, however, that it is agreed that 1'.. f. Shively, of South Bend, is to be the nominee. They say that nothing can cnange tnis trend or sentiment, and that Taggart was absolutely in earnest la declining to make the race. Too Trivial. nicago, April us.

In connection with the pre sentation of his credentials a commu nication was read from James Seiden Cowdin, protesting against the seating of Mr. Lassiter, and filing notice of a formal contest, on the ground that the vote by which Mr. Lassiter claimed election was a "paper vote" not actu ally cast.

WABBASTS ABE OUT. Notwithstanding Denials of John "W. Gates' I r lends. New York, April 23 Friends and busi- nes associates of John W. Lambert, president of the American Steel Wire company, and John W. Gates, chairman of the executive committee of that com pany, today made emphatic denials of the report that the gentlemen nad leit New York to evade summonses issued against them in connection with recent stock transactions, it is tacitly admit ted, however, that such summonses have been issued and that the matter will be pushed. Max lJam. general counsel lor tne American Steel Wire company, said today: "The publication this morning of the institution of criminal proceedings against Mr. Gates and Mr. Lambert can not remain unnoticed. There is ab solutely no foundation for any such pro ceedings and In my judgment an ui tenor motive prompts what has been caused to be published. Mr. Gates and Mr. Lambert have been advised of this matter and will leave Chicago so as to be here Monday morning ready to sub mit to service of any process whatso ever, enabling any person making any complaint to have an Immediate trial. Counsel have been employed who will not only look after the defanse but will look to the vigorous prosecution of the Darties undertaking this proceeding. Washington beligman or the wan street firm of Seligman Van Antwerp who is Baid to have made an application for the summons, is seemingly loth to discuss his attitude in the steel and wire matter. He did say, however, that at the proper time he had no doubt that plenty of persons would be found to take a position against Mr. Gates. George Lamb, or the law nrm or Lamn Voss, admitted that he and ex-Judge Dalv had been giving the matter their attention at the request or Mr. Seng man. Mr. Lamb said he regretted the rather premature publication of the is suance of a summons as it might inter fere with some of his plans. He also said that there would be no extradition proceedings brought against Mr. Gates as he had every reason to Deiieve that the chairman of the American bteel Wire company would be here at the ad journed meeting on May 7.

Original Nicaragua Canal Promoters Expect Kights to Be Protected. New York, April 28. Considerable speculation was indulged in today by persons interested in the building of the Nicaragua canal as to what effect the decision of the Nicaraguan government to vacate the concession to the Mari time company. Edwin R. Lancaster, secretary or tne Nicaragua company, said: The action of the Nicaragua govern ment, if it is reported, will not bother us in the least. Our company has some rights, and the Nicaraguan government can not take them away. ivV e will en force our rie-hts We will ask Uncle Sam to step in ana see that we are not deprived of our rights. We agreed to submit the ques tion to arbitration and we named our men, but the government of Nicaragua refused to accept them because they were not natives of Nicaragua. We contended that we were entitled to name non-residents of Nicaragua and we still believe we have that right. JUDGE OUT OF PATIENCE. Says New Jury Law For Special Ve nire Is a Bad One. The suit brought by Mary Short against S. A. Bedwell for $5,000 dam ages was called in tne district court this morning. The attorneys for the plaintiff found the regular jury out on another case, and according to the law passed by the last legislature demanded a special venire of jurymen. The law was shown Judge Hazen. He read it and said the attorneys were correct, but he expressed his ideas of a legislature that would pass such a law in no uncertain lan guage. He announced that at the last minute a new jury could not be had. and that he would continue the case until the next term of court. The attorneys protested that their witnesses were present and ready, but Judge Hazen would not change his ruling. NOT IN IT. Mr. Jetmore Says Under No Circum stances Would He Be Mayor.

WHEAT It is said that tradins in wheat for a rise or fall in Drices is gambling. This may be true. We are ready to admit that it is not a "lead pipe cinch," like a slot machine proposition. There are times, as the trade have ob served in the past seven years, viz.: finan cial panics when money could not be ob tained at any prices, when horses, cattle. nogs, sneep ana products of the farm were either valueless or nominally so. There was a story current a few vears ago that a ranchman shipped twenty car loaas oi sneep to t. i.ou:s ana tney sola for $50 less than the freieht. and when the commission house requested the ship per to remit, he replied that he had no money, but would ship them another car load of sheep. Last week these same sheep sold around $5.65 per 100 at Kansas City. A pair of draught horses that could have been bought two years ago for $S0 dollars, are a ready sale today at $300 on the market. We noticed in the gossip the other day that cattle sold at the yards at the highest price in a num ber of vears. Now the auestion. Is there any logical reason why wheat, admittedly the leading staple proauct, snouia De sell ing at a price unremunerative to the pro ducer and below any price ever reached nrior to the oanic of '93? It is true that the prospects west of the Missouri river are very fine for the growing crop. It is also true tnat conaition in Missouri, Ohio Indiana and Michigan can oe written down as less than one-half a crop. The great DugaDoo at present is tne visible supply. Farm reserves, it is admitted are well cleaned up. With all European crops admittedly poor, the French crop 30 or 40 minion Dusneis Deiow requirements. is it reasoname to conclude with money loaning at 2 per cent that the fact that there is 20 millions more wheat in the visible is of itself sufficient to depress the price of wheat to a point 25 per cent below its relative value as compared with other commodities. It. j. uunn (Jo. in their today's report show a continued increase in the volume of exports over last year, but tor some unaccountable reason are totally silent as regards the decrease In primary receipts. It looks.to the casual observer as if tha candle is burning at both ends, viz: "In creased exports and decreasing receipts." Every reader knows that all the authori ties agree that notwithstanding the claim of poor cash demand that stocks of wheat at market centers are decreasing at a rata never before equalled since the first day of January, over 5 millions decrease at Chicago alone. There Is only 450,000 bush els of wheat in St. Louts. Yesterday is was reported over 200, OtK) bushels waa worked at Kansas City. Northwestern stocks will decrease over two million bushels this week and everywhere cash wheat is on a shipping basis. It is a fact that foreign markets are much higher relatively than ours, compared with a year ago and we believe that conditions warrant the conclusion that successful bulls in corn and pork will, in the near future, turn their attention to wheat and give us an old time bull market. Every thing points to this conclusion. CORN The situation in corn is un changed. Cash demand excellent, and re ceipts very light. Acceptances liberal and exports large. The persistent bears who have laughed at us for the past eight months for advising the purchase of corn are now willing to admit that we have been right and that corn will surely go to 45c, probably 50c. before the end of this bull campaign. The big bull pools have the market under perfect control and are going to boost prices every time any crop damage news is reported. OATS Oats are quiet and featureless. Our advices today are that good strong people are now Duying July oats In good round lots to be held as an investment. Oats are too low and the price can be ad vanced 5 or 10 cents a bushel easily when the right parties take hold of it. PROVISIONS Provisions are quiet, hardly enough trading to make market. Packers are buying July pork steadily and timid holders have sold out. There is an excellent demand for meats. Re ceipts are commencing to run light and will continue to do so from now on. J. C. GOINGS. Late Stocks Letter. Outside of a few specialties. New York stocks were dull and featureless today. Trading in Sugar was heavv. Shorts started to cover at the tap of the bell and kept it up until close of session. This was the cause of the four point advance.. It eased off slightly at the close and looks like shorts have all been in. People's Gas was steady and American Tobacco dull and slightly lower. Not much trade in either of these stocks. Steel and wire stocks were sold freely by the bear ele ment, who have been so succssful in these specialties lately. We believe these stocks are doomed and should be sold on all hard spots. There will be quick bulges from time to time that will afford splen did opportunities to get short and traders should take advantage of them. B. R. T. was sold moderately. Timid shorts have all been ruy-ln on this stock and we be lieve it is now a safe sale on hard spots. Some big bear traders, who are In posi tion to know something about what they are saying, assert that this stock will, in the not far distant future, sell at one figure and that the aforesaid figure will not be a 9 either. The Grangers were neglected and left to the mercy of scalp ers, who took advantage of the situation to get short over Sunday. Trading in Mo. Pacific was of fair volume. Shorts were the best buyers, covering a good many lines. Union Pacilics were dull. T. C. I was hammered by professionals.
