Hudson, editor In chief, ami Well Keizer, business manager, haw retired from the Topeka Daily Capital, the arrany.-mont by which this change is made having been consummated at a late hour Monday evening. It was the direct result of an exciting controver sy which took place Saturday night. The retirement of these two men who have been prominently identified with the Capital was not a surprise because the management of the p.-.per has been niraged in a controversy which had its oritun during the week the paper was 7-u blishei.l by Kev. Charles M. Sheldon. .At the conclusion of that experiment it v. as the purpose of F. O. Popenoe, who owns the controlling interest in the pa per to conduct it along the lines sug gested by Mr. Sheldon's work instead of a partisan paper such as the paper has always been under the management of Gen. Hudson, a policy which was con tinued by Mr. Keizer when Gen. Hud son retired to become state printer. The Capital, under the direction of Gen. Hudson has been opposing the flection of Morton Albaugh as chair man of the liepubiican state committee, but the state committee Saturday night tlectetj Mr. Albaugh to the position, Mr. Popenoe, realizing that Albaugh 'was to be elected immediately decided that it was polh y for the paper to fet In line. So he notified Gen. Hudson that nothing rellecting in any way on Mr. .Albuugh should appear in the paper. Gen. Hudson prepared for the Sunday Capilui an editorial in which he reiter ated the opinion that Mr. Albaugh was not the man who should have been cho sen f' r t he pnsiti' m. This editorial was put in type and reached the managing editor, A. C. Babize. who at once called on 'Gen. Hudson, the editor in chief, in his of liee and slated that it would be neces sary, under Mr. Fopenoe's instructions, to censor the Albaugh article. This was too much for the editor ir. chief and he immliiitfly replied that nothing- of the kind should be done by -Mr. Habize, Mr. Popenoe or any other man. A quarrel then ensued and Gen. Hud Bon got the better of the battle, the edi torial appearing in the paper Sundav morning without any modification, and an it was originally written by the edi- jor in eniet. Uen. Hudson threatened to throw Mr. Babize out of the window ami this quieted Mr. Habize. During the controversy Mr. Hudson said: "1 do not have to edit the Capital but so long as I am writing editoria's covering the policy of this paper the I'Ublu-ation will follow without any de viation from what I have written." Mr. Hudson at that time also inti mated that he would retire immediately Irom the position which lie occupied at a salaiy of $;,co0, having no financial interest in the paper. General Hudson's contract expires in August, but he surrendered his alaiy from now until that time, with the un derstanding that the stockholders make satisfactory terms with Mr. Keizer. The latter is General Hudson's son-in-law, and their association of fourteen years in the publication of the Capital was not jarred by the controversies which existed. They stood together. So, Mr. Hudson's lelirement, when the Itiari-el was y, sterday resumed, was made contingent upon an arrangement with Mr. Keizer, who held $10.U0u in Pto.-K, one-fifth of the whole amount of the capital stock. V. o. Popenoe. A. C. Babize. H. T. base, C. B. Holman and oth.-eo i!, a's'! ,r' K,'Z''''s stork. They paid Mm $.-.0o0 in cash and agreed by con tract to pay him the remainder in five monthly installments. It is ---aid that as set urity for the balance due him the company has a-signed to Mr. Keiz-r advertising contracts amounting to $1 ooo per month. Tne arrangement by which Mr Hud pon and Mr. Keizer retired was consum mated Monday evening. This morn ing the .names which have appeared at the head of the editorial column wrr" missing, hut the paper says not one word of the change. H. T. Chase, who has be, n ai-sociate editor for many years, will succeed to the position occupied by General Hud B in. and Mr. Babize will cniinue as managing editor. Charles "U Holman pecretpry anil treasurer of the company! is acting in Mr. Kcizer's position, but this arrangement is likely to be' but temporary. Who will succeed Mr. Keizer permanently is a matter which Secretary Holman said today had not tjeen discussed by the company. There will be no other changes in th office except that Mr. Popenoe will as sume a more active part in the affairs f the paper, spending considerable time at the office of the paper. He will be the highest authority, his plans bs-Jr-g put into operation by Mr. Babize. It has been said that General Hudson owned stock in the present Capital company, but the purchase from John 3'.. Mulvane was made by Mr. Popenoe and his friends last, summer by a cash- payment of Ja.ui'ii. Mr. Popenoe also jrave a note for $."i,0f.K). to be paid w ithin a year after the purchase, and by the terms of the agreement he was to pay general Hudson a salary of $5,000 for the lirst J' far, making a total of ?l",tOJ to be paid during the first year the new company controlled the paper. Of this su oi $10,000 applied on thepurchase price. Cuo, leaving a balance due of $45,0t0, the securities for which are in the hands of the original owner, John R. Mulvane. General Hudson will hereafter devote his time to the management of private business, principal among which are some mining interests in Missouri, in which Mr. Keizer is also interested. Mr. Hudson celebrated his sixtieth birthday anniversary early this month, and this retirement from the newspaper field will be permanent. He said to a State Journal reporter today: "I have been long in this work and will now de-ote my time to business apart from newspaper work and poli tics." Mr. Keizer said: "I have ether busi ness interests to which I will devote my attention, but I will not engage in newspaper work. I will take a month or two for a breathing spell before I engage actively in business again." -It is rumored that the two men would immediately embark in another news paper enterprise, concerning which General Hudson said: "There is noth ing in that story. I am out of the newspaper business." Mr. Keizer said: "I do not know that T will stay out of the business perman ently, but General Hudson and myself have no plans and will make no plans for the publication of another paper in Topeka. Such a thought has never en tered our minds." C. L. Holman, the acting business manager, said today: "This change was made without friction. There will be no other changes in the office so far as v. e know. The stock held by Mr. Keizer was purchased by other parties who believed that it was a good in vestment." "Was there trouble between General Hudson and Mr. Babize?" "As to that I have, nothing to say." WHY HE SUIT. Gen. Hudson Says Ha Could Not Be Trammelled. Gen. J, K. Hudson today made the following statement to a State Joufr.al reporter concerning the matter: "My editorial management of the Daily Capital ceased yesterday. Mr. Haroll T. Chase succeeds me as editor. It he is left untrammeled he will make a clean, independent Republican paper. He is a gentleman and a scholar, and in my judgment altogether the ablest young man in newspaper work in Kansas. "As to the cause of my leaving the Capital I do not care to say more than that there was a difference between some of the owners of the paper and myself as to the political policy of the I Capital. While I was favorable to sup porting tne state ana national ticKtts and giving the principles of the Repub lican party hearty support, I did not deem a somersault into the arms of the Albaugh Leland Stanley combine called for, especially in view of the very radical opposition the paper had heretofore given the boss and the ma chine methods of controlling the party. My editorial of Sunday on the result of the meeting of the state central com mittee was a conservative putting of the political situation from my stand point, and as it was not satisfactory to Mr. Poper.oe, who has a controlling in terest in the Capital, my further con nection with the paper became impos sible. "As an editor I have always uttered my honest convictions on public ques tions whether they were popular or not, and I have bfen untrammeled too long to follow the dictation of inexperienced adventurers in politics and newspaper work." "There is some talk about you and Mr. Keizer going into a new daily psper scheme."1 Oh. there is nothing in that. Mr. Keizer sold his interest yesterday to Mr. Popenoe. Our plans are not en tireiv formed, but we shall for a year cr more probably engage in some busi ness enterprises entirely foreign to newspaper work or politics." "It is also rumored that you feel dis f-runtled politically, and may leave the Republican party. "That is nonsense, pure and simple. I inherited radical Republicanism from irv father, and can never be anything hut a Republican because I believe in the basic principles and purposes of the partv. and glory in its grand History find accomplishments. No, indeed, I am a Republican, and expect to work in v hatevei- line I can for tlje success of the party in November." MR. POPENOE TALKS. Says Mr. Chase is Now First in Authority. F. O. Popenoe said: "The change in the management of the paper was due to the sale by Mr. Keizer of 155 shares of stock to Mr. Holman, Mr. Chase, Mr. Babize and myself." "What was the consideration involv ed in this sale?" was asked Mr. Pope noe?. "That I can not answer," he said. "Was there any friction or controver sy among the stockholders?" "That is a matter purely private and I do not care to discuss it." Mr. Popenoe was asked if Gen. Hud son and Mr. Babize had trouble Satur day night. To this question Mr. Popenoe replied by saying: "I have nothing to say on that sub ject. The affairs of the paper are pure ly of a business character and necessar ily as private as other business or per sonal transactions and these details which you mention are not proper sub jects for, me to flscuss in an interview. "Mr. Chasg will have editorial charge of the par.er," said Mr. Popenoe: "Mr. Babize will continue to control the news department and Mr. Holman will have charge of the business office for the present." Mr. Popenoe said that Mr. Chase's authority would be first in the office; Mr. Babize next. Mr. Popenoe will gi.e considerable personal attention to the paper. Charles M. Sheldon, editor of the Mis souri Valley Farmer has been employed by the Capital as a special advertising solicitor anil will go immediately to -New ork and Boston and other eastern cities to begin work. THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE. The Editorial Which Brought on the Crisis in the Capital Management The friction in the management of the capital between the Hudson-Keizer and Popenoe interests really came to a crisis Saturday night over an editorial w hich Gen. Hudson had prepared for Sunday's issue, and to whfch Mr.Babize, cs Mr. Popenoe' s representative, obiect- eu anu wisned omitted from the Capital, but which Gen. Hudson in an emphatic manner insisted should appear. The ed itorial went in Sundav morninfr and Gen. Hudson went out Mondav evening Ihe editorial under the head'ing, "The (.Continued on Sixth Page.) KROGER TO FLY. Newspaper Man Reports That a Train Is Ready. Entered Pretoria Disguised to Study the Conditions. GLOOMY FOR BOERS. Reports Situation of Most Ex treme Demoralization. British Forces Are Only 15 Miles From Johannesburg. London, May 29. "H. J. Whigham has just returned to Lorenzo Marques from Pretoria, where he went disguised. He wired that Kruger has all the ar rangements for flight, presumably to Holland. A special train, provisioned, is always ready with steam up. The train waits some distance from Pre toria." London. May 29, 3 a. m. Lord Roberts is now within a day's march of Johan nesburg, and General French and Gen eral Ian Hamilton fought the Boers from noon until evening on Monday, with what result is not known here. H. J. Whigham in a dispatch to the Daily Mail, dated May 28, says: "The demoralization of the 'Iransvaal is remarkable. Panic and confusion prevail everywhere. Every one is weary of the war and full of fear as to the coming of the British. Opa tions were being carried on for en circling Pretoria with telegraphic com munications. Fourteen points in the line of defenses were connected with headquarters and with the Staats ar tillery, but this apparently was the only defensive measure adopted. There were no other visible preparations. "Not much gold is likely to be found in the treasury. The salaries of th officials and judges have not been paid, or have been paid only in national bank notes, which will be worthless when Lord Roberts arrives. The seat of gov ernment will be removed to Waterval- bovan. a small station on the Delagoa. Bay railway line, and then if necessary to Bydenberg. "Both President Steyn and President Kruger complain bitterly of Lord Rob erts' unfair tactics in refusing to meet the Boers in positions chosen by them. and in eternally turning them by flank movements. "Around Johannesburg; a few trenches have been dug, but no other steps have been taken for defense. The railway line is blocked with refugees from the west and southwest, who are packed like sardines in trucks. "The government is now endeavoring to reassure the public by telling them that the British will not outrage and plunder them, but it is too late. The previous misstatements are bringing their rewards. Feed is very scarce and prices rule high. "The proposal to release the British prisoners of war is due to this cause. Members of -the government and of lha volksraad express approval of the pro posal, but President Kruger is violently opposed to it. "One form of infernal machine which meets with much approval is to be laid under the rails of various country lines. By the pressure of some tons weight of the engine will cause this to exolodge with most terrible ettect. Many of these machines are being made at the arsenal, and great caution will have to be employed in neutralizing them. "There has been a decided change in public opinion which has become quite English. The-burghers in command sing 'God Save the Queen' and they can not be stopped. All are sick of warfare. In the towns the rabid anti-English is less rampant. People are thinking of their property. The party eager for surren der is now7 very influential, anrl includes the principal leaders at the front. The intelligent public feel that the game is up. lealse news no longer nas any ei fect. Although the hand of the censor has been very heavy on news of all kinds recently, every one believes the worst. "The government has arranged to continue the agitation against the Brit ish occupation of the two republics on the continent of Europe, in Great Brit ain and in the United States. Great ef forts are to be made in this direction and no expense will be spared. I have excellent reasons for believing that the Bew ayarplastsen rights have been sold to a French syndicate without tne sanction of the Volksraad. The govern ment hopes by this means to bring about French intervention for the pro tection of French rights in the Witwa- tersrand, and thus to cause England grave difficulties. the conduct ot I'nited States Consul Hay is admirably discreet and meets with universal praise alike from Boer and British sympathizers." Another dispatch from Lorenzo Mar ques, says: "General Louis Botha is at Pretoria, urging President Kruger to arrange peace terms. Runaway burghers from Laing's Nek passed through Heidleberg last week. Wounded officials with their families are leaving Johannesburg and Pretoria for Lydenberg. President Steyn occupies the house of a British resident at Pretoria. "Pessengers arriving at Lorenza Mar ques Monday from Pretoria said it was believed there that the British would not be at the capital for a month. Nev ertheless there was much unrest." London, May 29. The war office just before midnight, last night, published the following dispatch from Lord Rob erts: Klip Kiver, xransvaai. May 2S, 5:25 P. M. "We marched 20 miles today and are now Is miles from Johannesbur: The enemy had prepared several pos tions where they intended to oppose us; but they abandoned one after the other as we neared them. "We pressed them so hard that they had only just time to get their five guns into train and to leave as soon as some of the infantry dashed into it. "French's and Ian Hamilton's forces are apparently engaged with the enemy about ten miles to our left, as firing has been heard since noon. "The farmers near our line of ad vance are surrendering with their arms and horses. "Bundle occupied Zenekal on May 24. No report of what took place has reach ed me yet." KRUGER HOLDS OUT. London. May 29. The Lorenzo Mar ques correspondent of the Times tele graphing Monday says: Commandant General Botha consult ed the Transvaal government a few davs ago, and in strong terms, urges i capitulation.recognizing that the strug gle is utterly hopeless. Neiher per suasion or liberal use of sjambok can induce the men to stand. Steyn is equally emphatic for peace. but Kruger is still obdurate. The strong feeling of the Pretoria peace party, how ever, may at any moment carry the point. While the reports of a possible border conflict between the Boers and the Portuguese are not credited here, the uneasiness of local officials continues. All sorts of sensational rumors are afloat. The latest is of the hauling down of the Portuguese flag at the Portuguese consulate in Pretoria. The Boers are undoubtedly strengthening their commandoes on the border. According to a special dispatch from Lorenzo Marques, there are nine hun dred Boers on the Portuguese border. NEWS FROM PRETORIA. Pretoria, Monday, May 29. The Brit ish occupied Zeerust this morning and a large force is marching on to Lichten burg. An official bulletin states that the British crossed the Vaal river Saturday. General Leuiner had a severe fight at Klip river. Five of the burghers were wounded and two were captured. The British were 5,000 strong. By an order recently issued, the presi dent decreed that May 27 and the two following days be observed by the whole country as days of prayer, humiliation and the confession of sins and that pe titions should be offered for relief from oppression. Fighting took place at Van Wytrust, 15 miles south of Johannesburg, with a large rorce of British which broke through from Klip river. Cape Town, Monday, May 29. It is rumored here that Gen. French has cut the Boer communications between Heidelberg and Boksburg within a few miles of Johannesburg. FREE STATE ANNEXED. Cape Town, Monday, May 29. The Free State was formally annexed to day. Lord Roberts announced to his troops the annexation of the Free State, which hereafter will be called the Orange River State. Klip River, Transvaal, Monday, May 29. The Boers after preparing a good position fled early. The train bearing their last detachment was nearly cap tured by Pilkington's West Australians. Prisoners taken state that there was no intention of blowing up the mines de claring that the threat was made sim ply with the intention of frightening away the burghers. The British advance force is now wKhin fifteen miles of Johannesburg. BRITISH BOMBARDMENT. New Cas.tle, Natal, May 29. The British guns at Ingogo have been heavily bombarding the Boer position since daylight. The Boer guns have replied intermittently. METHODISTS ADJOURN. Twenty-third Conference Closes After 4 Weeks' Session. Chicago, May 29. The twenty-third delegated quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal church came to an end today after a session of four weeks. The conference is considered to have been one of the most-noteworthy since the days when Methodism was divided over the slavery question and has re sulted in many radical changes in the laws and polity of the church. As a result the church will enter upon the twentieth century a different body from what it was before the conference met. Principal among the important ac tions of the conference were the aboli tion cf the time limit on pastorates; the ratification of the equal represen tation amendment, as proposed by the Rock River conference, together with the seating of the provisional delegates; the adoption of a new constitution sub ject to approval by the various annual conferences, including substitution of the words "lay members" for the term "laymen," thus permitting the seating of women in the general conference: and the election of two additional mis sionary bishops. There was a huge amount of routine business, which was practically settled in committee. The first day of the conference, May 2, saw laymen and preachers given equal representation. Under the belief that this would be done, provisional delegates were on hand, and were fol lowing this action admitted as regular lay delegates, making the 1900 confer ence the largest of its kind in the his tory of the church. Of great interest to Methodists was the abolition unconditional of the five year limit on pastorates. The confer ence did not modify paragraph 248 of the discipline, which among other things forbid attendance upon theaters, circuses and dancing. Trustees of the American university at Washington were named and ap proved. At. 12 o'clock all business was laid on the table and the usual com plimentary resolutions attendant upon the closing session were adopted. The venerable Bishop Bowman, now super annuated, then made a brief address of parting to the delegates. The minutes of today's meeting were read and the roll was called. A brief prayer by Bishop Warren followed, and shortly before 1 o'clock the general conference passed into history. The resolution to censure President McKinley for his position on the army canteen was overwhelmingly defeated at the Monday evening session. WALES VOTES AYE. Favors Change of English Law to Per mit Marriages of Brother and Sister-in-Law. London, May 29. In the house of lords today Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal moved the second reading of the colonial bill, permitting the marriage of a man and his decreased wife s sister. Earl Salisbury opposed the bill, which, he said, would alter the law of inheri tance on real property in Great Britain. The difficulty, he pointed out, rests in the fact that colonial law was different from the British law. The bill passed its second reading amid cheers, by a vote of 116 to 31. The minority against the majority bill in cluded the Marquis of Salisbury and the Duke of Abercorn. The majority included the Prince of vv ales, the Duke of Connaught. the Duke of York, the Duke of Devonshire and the Marquis of Lansdowne. SOCIALIST GAINS.

C AR WHEEL 70 RKS By Her Action on the Santa Fe Shop Fund Topeka Not Only Gets Forging, Boiler and Locomotive Works, But Another New Immense In dustry is Practically Assured. ALL THE CAR WHEELS To Be Used on the Santa System Fe It Is Contemplated Will Made Here. Be The wheels of progress are surely turning toward Topeka. The real iron wheels of all Santa Fe cars are to be made here, too. One good turn makes another one. We live in a live town. The State Journal takes pleasure in first announcing that another immense industry is practically assured for To peka in connection with the Santa Fe shops. This is the erection cf car wheel works for the manufacture of all the car wheels used cn the immense Santa Fe system. This information was ob tained from Vice President Barr of the Santa Fe Railway company, who was In the city today. Jonathan Thomas, chairman of the finance committee in charge of the Santa Fe shop fund, accompanied by a representative of the State Journal, called on Vice President Barr this morning at the office of General Man ager Mudge. Mr. Mudge was out of the city, having gone with President Ripley down into southern Kansas. Mr. Ripley and Mr. Mudge are expected to return to Topeka Thursday morning. "Your committee has handled the matter in an admirable manner in the raising of the Topeka end of the sub scription to the Santa Fe shop site fund," said Mr. Barr. "We are all well pleased both at the spirit in which the work has been done and the successful result of your efforts. I hardly dare tell you what we now propose to do for Topeka in the way of additional shop facilities here. We are going to spend more money and do more than you trunk we are. We wish to speak to vou. said Mr. Thomas, "in connection with the tele gram we sent you the other day say ing we naa raised the amount of cash required at this time." "President Riplev. General Ma Mudge and myself have falked over this matter since receiving your message and the whole subject has been turned over to Mr. Mudge, who has power to act. It will be put into writing and into definite shape. I have no doubt that it will be satisfactory all around. We are now Very anxious to begin the erection of the forging works and boiler works within sixty days. Do you think matters in connection with the site can be arranged in that time?" I have no doubt we can arrange things to that end," said Mr. ThomaSs. 'We will push the matter fast as soon as we get possession of the site," said Mr. Barr. "Our attorneys can go ahead and arrange the matter of title and transfer of the property in connec tion with your committee which has had the matter in charge In reference to the individual properties required for the bite. I cfn say," continued Mr. Barr, "that your people have made one of the best investments they ever made when they decided to co-operate with us in secur ing the site for the additions to the shops. In this connection I will say to you, not exactly confidentially, and yet not in a boastful manner, that we now contemplate placing at Topeka car wheel works which shall manufacture all the car wheels to be used on the Santa Fe system. I say contemplate, because I do not like to make the posi tive assertion until the matter is form ally ordered by the president and the board, but I have no doubt that unless some unforeseen business conditions shall prevent, that in the near future v.o will commence the erection of the car wheel works. 'We will begin the locomotive erect ing shops next year." Heretofore the Topeka people have understood that it might be two or more years before these works might be commenced. Mr. Barr now says it is the intention to begin the erection of these immense lo comotive shops next year. The shops to be completed at once are the black smith or forging works and the boiler shops," m connection with switch and frog shops Mr. Barr left this afternoon for Chicago. MRS.

Revolution in Venezuela Ends "With the Capture of the Leader. Caracas. Venezuela, May 29. Gen. Jose M. Hernandez, the revolutionary leader, has been captued by government troops. The revolution is now consid ered ended. SCHLEY'S FLEET. To Remain in American "Waters For Six Months Yet New York, May 29. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: Admiral Schley's fleet will remain In South American waters for the next six months at least. The belief that his ships would have to go to Cape Town to be docked or else come home for that purpose soon has been met by an order from the navy department suspending for his fleet the regulations which com pels the docking of every vessel once in six months. This period was already overdue for all three ships of the South Atlantic station, but as there appears to be no particular reason for the Chi cago, the Montgomery or the Wilming ton to develop great speed at the pres ent time, the urgency of docking is not recognized. It is admitted, however, at the department that in case docking was imperative in the case of one of the vessels she would be brought to the United States for the purpose, in pref erence to sending her to Cape Town, as it is well known that no American warship would be welcome in British South African waters just now. Experienced naval officers have been surprised at the deference paid to Eng lish wishes in this respect by all the great powers. In every other war of recent date the fleets of neutral powers have swarmed to the vicinity of hos tilities. At one time it was feared that the visit of Admiral Schley's little fleet to Cape Town might induce other marl time powers to send vessels there, but according to Admiral Schley's friends, this excuse no longer has any applica tion other than to confine the admiral to South American ports. STRIKE AT OLEO. Bill For Prohibitive Tax Re ported Favorably in Congress. Measure Will Be Considered Thursday. Washington, May 29. After an ex citing contest lasting many months the advocates of the Grout bill placing an almost prohibitive tax on oleomargarine and like imitation butters, succeeded today in having that measure favorably reported from the house committee on agriculture. The vote was 10 to 7 in favor of the bill. The opposition to the measure had taken form in a substi tute, providing additional safeguards against the fraudulent sale of oleo margarine but not going to the extent of the Grout bill. The vote on the sub stitute was first taken and it was de feated S to 9. An effort was then made to amend the Grout bill by including within Its restrictions old rancid butter, known as renovated butter. The friends of the Grout bill resisted all changes and defeated the amend ment 8 to 9. The bill was then favor ably acted upon by the following Vote: Yeas Henry, Baker, Connell, Wright Haugen, Dale, Lamb. Conney, Gordon, Neville 10. Nays Wadsworth, Lorimer, White Bailey (Kan:), Williams (Miss.), Stokes and Allen 7. The bill as reported is as follows: "That all articles known as oleo margarine, butterine, imitation butter or imitation cheese or any substance In the semblance of butter or cheese not the usual product of the dairy and not made exclusively of pure and unadul terated milk or cream, transported into any state or territory and remaining therein for use, consumption, sale or storage therein shall upon the arrival within the limits of such state or terri tory be subject to the operations and effect of the laws of such state or terri tory enacted into the exercise of its police powers to the same extent and in the same manner as though such ar ticles or substances had been produced in such state or territory and shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of be ing introduced therein in original pack ages or otherwise; provided, that noth ing in this act shall be construed to permit any state to forbid the manu facture or sale of oleomargarine in a separate and distinct form and in such manner as will advise the consumer of its real character free from colora tion or ingredient that causes it to look like butter. That after the passage of the act, the tax upon oleomargarine as prescribed in section 8 of the act ap proved August 2, 1886, and entitled 'An act defining butter, also imposing a tax upon and regulating the manufacture, sale, importation and exportation of oleomargarine,' shall be one-fourth of one cent per pound when the same is not colored in imitation of butter; but when colored in imitation of butter, the tax to be paid by the manufacturer shall be ten cents per pound, to be levied and collected in accordance with the provisions of said act." There will be majority and minority reports submitted Thursday. After their success today, the friends of the bill expect to urge the matter to speedy consideration before the house in hope of securing action in one or both branches of congress at this session. PLAGUE IN FRISCO. Serious Legal Complications May De lay Its Stamping Out. San Francisco, May 29. Legal com plications have arisen in the plague situation and things are very much mixed. The Fnited States circuit court issued an order restraining the local board of health and United States Surgeon Kinyoun from inoculating Chineseand restrainingthem from leav ing the city. The state board of health then passed an order asking the city board of health to quarantine the Chinese district. At a meeting of the city board called for the purpose of de claring an effective quarantine the question was raised whether or not the order or the United States court would not prevent the board from declaring a quarantine. A reading of the order convinced the board that it was very sweeping in its effect and it was feared that to de clare a quarantine would bring the board in contempt. After discussing the matter until midnight the matter was deferred. Eastern Star Officer Honored. Abilene, Kas., May 29. Mrs. Mary C. Snedden, of Kansas City, past most worthy grand matron of the grand gen eral chapter of the Eastern Star, spent last evening here. She was given a re ception by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Edson.

The Arkansas river is. higher than it has been at any other time in the last six years, and in many places the overflow is doing great dam age to crops.

Accompanied by Mayor Drew and City Council. THEY SAW THE SIGHTS Woman Magician Surprises State's Executive. Offered Place of Honor In Ani mal Arena. Governor Stanley, Mayor Drew and a majority of the members of the city council spent two hours on the midway last night. All saw some of the at tractions and some saw all of the at tractions. Neither Governor Stanley or Mayor Drew were among the latter. The state executive was responsible for the visit of the state and municipal ity to the street fair. Yesterday after noon in response to an invitation of the Commercial club he suggested that a tour of the attractions be made last night, and 8 o'clock was set as the hour of meeting. Mayor Drew and the mem bers of the council showed up promptly on time, and met the governor inside the gates. City Attorney Bird was taken along to render legal advice and City Clerk Squires to take notes for future reference. The distinguished party secured a Commercial club pilot in the person of Mr. Abe Steinberg, and the march was commenced. Jerusalem was visited first. After a short stay City Attorney Bird declared the old town too slow and made a break for the temporary residence of Millie Christine, the two headed wonder. The woman who turned the hand organ and did the "spieling" act "was indulging in stage magic when the party arrived. She had just caused a solid cube to mysteriously disappear from a small box of two compartments. But one of the compartments was open and Governor Stanley thought he saw an opportunity of exposing the fake. "Open the other side," he shouted from his position in the rear of the tent. "What did the good looking young gentleman say?" asked the artist with wonderful naivete. The governor was visibly affected but managed to reply. "I said you might open the other side and show us what's in there." "Oh, yes, to be sure, so I shall," and the -disciple of Mme. Herrmann deftly opened the other door, at the same time, however, closing the one previous- ly opened;- Conviction that -he was certainly about to unveil a fraud took an awful stride in the mind of the Kansas ex ecutive. He took fresh breath and shouted up to the improvised plat form. "Open both doors at once and I guess we'll find the cube." "Would the gentleman speak Just a little louder," asked the female ex ponent of magic, leaning her head in Governor Stanley's direction. The governor's voice displayed slight irritation as he reiterated his demand. "The gentleman wants both doors open at once," said the woman in the way of another question. "Yes, yes, open both at once." Slight irritation had given place topronounced irritation in the governor's tones. "You really want me to do that?" asked the prestidigitator with an en gaging smile. "Oh, pshaw," said Governor Stanley in a voice that betrayed disgust and indignation, and looked away. "I'm afraid the gentleman is becom ing weary .and despite the consequences' I will have to comply with his request," said the entertainer. "Before doing so, however, I would suggest to him that Dr. Pills' Pink Powders are good for that tired feeling. Both doors open at once here goes. Now, is the gentleman satisfied?" Of course the lost cube was in neither of the compartments. The female ma- gican smiled, the crowd laughed and Governor Stanley stepped down from the slight elevation he had taken pos session of for the purpose of unearthing a fake. The exhibition of the two headed wonder stopped any further controversy between the state and Millie Christine's manager. The baby incubator held the atten tion of the party for a short time only and then a rapid forward movement was made in the direction of the mid way proper. On the way Councilman Chaney,- the youthful member of the council, wanted to stop long enough to ride on a merry-go-round, but Pilot Steinberg declared that merry-go-round rides were not included in the courtesy. Inside the Midway a break was made for the animal show. It was several minutes before Mr. Steinberg was able to muster his forces before the gate be cause, as it happened, several of the Oriental theaters were givingfreeshows outside of the tents at the time. "Here we have Sultana Wallace," said the "spieler" of the show as he stepped in front of the cage containing the big lioness at the northern end of the tent. "She has a.record of having killed four men and is" the lioness that stood off a battalion of infantry for 36 hours. In her most ferocious moods she has' been known to demolish her cage and escape. She is in a particularly' ferocious mood tonight. Will Governor Stanley, Mayor Drew and the members of the city council, who I understand are in the tent, please come forward and take po sitions of honor." "Well, I call that complimentary," said Governor Stanley, as he measured the distance from the position of the party in the rear of the crowd to the entrance of the show. "What do you suppose the darned fool means?" asked Mayor Drew, who never, gets so near prof anity except when great ly agitated. "Tells us the beast is liable to break loose and then asks us to take positions of honor," commented Mr. Bird in an injured tone of voice. "I say that's a confounded insult and he ought to be made to apologize for it" declared Councilman Hughes, throwing back his shoulders. "Hadn't we better pass a resolution refusing a place of honor?" asked Coun cilman Myers, the new member, who after an experience of a month among the city fathers now knows Just exactly what is the correct thing to do. By this time the "spieler" iiad con cluded that he was mistaken about the presence of distinguished guests, and ordered the show to proceed.

Next Big Race the American Derby at Chicago Will Be a Battle Koyal Between Three-Year-Olds. HIGH CLASS ENTRIES. Lieutenant Gibson Is a Pro- nounced Favorite. Mesmerist, Kentucky Farmer and Star Bright Fancied. Chicago, May 29. Four weeks from r.ow will witness the thirteenth renewal of the greatest classic of the western turf the American Derby at Washing ton park. Turf followers are busily engaged in looking for a candidate among- the colts and fillies entered that may be able to lower the colors of lieu tenant Gibson, the Kentucky Derby and Clark stake winner at Louisville. At present Lieutenant Gibson, be cause of the easy and impressive man ner In which he captured both of these events, is a pronounced favorite for the race, the short price of 4 to 1 being laid against him in the future book, while against Mesmerist, who ranked as fa vorite when the book was first opened, a much longer price is laid. Of the sixty-four nominations that originally were received for the race and that are still eligible to start, half of the number at least have shown that they would have no chance of being in the money were they to start, and for that reason their names are eliminated from the list of possibilities. WORK OF THE CANDIDATES. The performance of the other thirty two as two-year-olds are shown in the following table: Mesmerist Missionary Windeme-re Yellow Tail Brigadier Gonfalon Advance Guard....

In the American Derby he will meet a greatly superior class of horses and it will take a horse of superior class to beat him to the wire. In the west there are still some three-year-olds that he has not measured strides with, and of these F. W. Brode, Sam Phillips, Ad vance Guard and Yellow Tail are ap parently the pick. TALK OF THE ELIGIBLES. The latter's easy win in the Inaugural at St. Louis demonstrated the fact that he still retained the same great burst of speed that made him one of the racing phenomenons of the Pacific coast last winter. Can he go a Derby distance at the same clip? That is the question, and one that has not been answered. There is a strong suspicion afloat that he can not and that the Derby route is at least a quarter of a mile too long for him. Sain Phillips at the first time of ask ing ran second to the lightly weighted Found, and though both his owner and jockey declare that he is of the first class it will take something better than that performance to satisfy the general public. Advance Guard, who is now In the east, has done nothing since lie crossed the Rockies that would bring him fame, The temper displayed by T. W. Brode at both Memphis and Nashville, to- gether with his disposition to sulk, re moves him from the pale of considera tion, while of Norford, Reminder, Par menlan, Hundley and others nothing Is known that would warrant them in be ing conceded an- outside chance. PROMINENT EASTERN HORSES. Several Derby candidates in the east have shown well, among them being Missionary, Kilmarnock, Hammock and Waring, while others of whom great things are expected are Brigadier, Ten Candles. Star Bright.Colonel Roose velt, Pupil, Goldone and Mark Cheek. The first named of tnese is evidently the star of the Featherstone string and that he would have won the Belmont stakes at Morris park last Wednesday in which he finished third to Ildrim and Petruchio had he been ridden properly is conceded by the critics. Kilmarnock, winner of the "Withers stake at the same meeting, was entered originally In the Derby by John E Madden, but is now the property of William C. Whitney. He is regarded as being one of the best of the eastern 3 year-olds and a colt that it will take real race horse to show the way under the wire. Messrs. Featherstone and "Whitney have not expressed an intention to send on their colts to fill the Washington park engagement, but there Is no rea son why they should not. REVIEW OF HAMMOCK'S WORK Hammock's work prior to the runnin of the Belmont was such as to stamp him as a high class animal, he having been reported as working the mile and trhee-eighths with stake weights up over the hill at Morns Park in 2:20 though he failed to finish inside of the money when the race was run. This son of Hanover, together with his stable companion "Withers, will carry the famous red and blue on Derby day If no accidnet happens to prevent, Phil Dwyer having already declared it to be his intention to send them on in charge of Trainer Frank McCabe. Ten Candles, while he has shown nothing in public that would justify his being considered as a dangerous candi date, must have done something in private, as Billy Lakeland has informed his friends that he will have a try for Amencari Derby honors. Star Bright, prior to his being shin ped east, worked fast enough at Louis ville, ta delight John E. Madden, bis owner, and as this shrewd Kentuckian rarely overlooks an opportunity it is thought that this colt will be sent to the post if his condition warrants. Out of his three candidates, Pupil, Goldone and Silver Garter, Green B. Morris is likely to have at least one starter. JEFFRIES SHARKEY MILL. Clubs "Which "Will Bid For the Fight and Their Offers. New York, May 29. The sports who fol low fights are pleased because Jeffries and Sharkey are to have it out again in The roped arena, as thev are matched to tight on or about August 25 before the club offering the largest purse.

Says He Did Not Authorize a Match With Jeffries. Ntw York. May 29. Sailor Tom Sharkey again kicking over the traces. The ar ticles of agreement for a fight between im Jetrrles and Sharkey have been form- lly signed by the managers of the two ugilists. As has been stated heretofore thev call for a 25-round contest, to be derided at the club hanging up the best incentive on August 25. The battle will be fought under straight Marquis of Queensberry rules. Al Smith will be final stake-holder, and ali bids from the var ious clubs must be in his hands sealed by July 1. Charley White will be the referee. No bandages are to be worn. In the event ot Sharkey being whipped In the mean time the match is to be declared null and oid. Sharkey was In town todav. in comnanv with Jack Root, the Chicago middle weight, who is matched to box Tommy Ryan at Coney Island. When asked what he had to say regarding his match with the champion, Sharkey said: ine hrst thing I heard about it was from the newspapers." win you right Jeffries? "Certainly, but I outrht to have been consulted first before my manager went ahead with it." "Then the articles which are signed do not mean anything?" inquired the re porter. No, answered the ex-sailor auickly. T don't believe in arranttine: a fierht un less I have time to consider. Ali I can say Is that I am not matched. If I am I really don't know anything about it." M'COY IS CONFIDENT. Says Ryan Will Not Last Over Five Rounds. Chicago, May 29. "Kid" McCoy, who is to meet Tommy Ryan and settle an old grudge of long standing in the arena of the Tattersall Athletic club tonight, arrived in Chicago yesterday afternoon, coming direct liom his training quar ters, at White Plains, N. 1. He was met at the depot by quite a delegation ot sports. He looked to be in perfect health and in good condition, and expressed himself in the most confident manner. "It won't go the limit," said he, "and it won't go more than four or five rounds if Ryan will only stand up and fight and not keep going down as he did the last time that we met. I'll put him out sure if he will only stand up and take his medicine. I am really glad to hear that he is in fine shape. for I want him to have no excuse after the contest is over. I shall have no trouble at all in getting down to the stipulated weight, 158 pounds, at the time set for weighing in. I was down to lofi pounds last Thursday, but have taken' on about four pounds since. The extra two pounds I can take off with a run or two between now and then. 'Ryan's story that I double-crossed him in the Maspeth, L I., battle is a lie. and one that is made out of whole cloth. I never agreed to do a crooked act in my life, and I never had any intention of taking the loser's end at that time. If Ryan did not train prop- erlv for that contest it was his own fault, and I know that he did. His friends have since assured me that he was never In better condition than on that occasion. I whipped him good and plenty then, and I will whip him good and plenty next Tuesday. McCoy will be seconded on this occa sion by his brother, Homer, who accom panies him; Billy Stift, Harry Harils and Jack O'Brien, of Philadelphia; while Ryan will be looked after by Jack Jeffries, Par Early and young bilvey. WORK OF RYAN AND JEFFRIES The cessation of hard training work has had the effect of increasing the weight of Jack Jeffries and Tommy Ryan. Yesterday neither of the men took any real hard exercise and the re sult was the gain In weight of three pounds by each. Tommy had a sore muscle in the back massaged yesterday afternoon. The sore elbow, which was received by bumping his arm against the shower bath screen in his quarters several days ago, has left Ryan, and the little fighter now seems assured that he will best McCoy. GREAT ENGLISH DARBT, One Hundred and Twenty-first Run ning of the Race. London, May 29. Today "the Darby," a race renowned the world over, will be run at Epsom Downs, for the one-hun-dred-and-twenty-first time. This year the event creates much interest on this side, for more American horses are en gaged than ever before, though only two will probably start. The stake is worth $30,000; $23,000 goes to the winner and the balance to his nominator and the placed horses. There have been may sensational Der bies since that of 1S44, when the winner was disqualified for being a 4 year old "ringer." In 1850, for the only time in the history of the race, a half-bred was placed for it. This was Hotspur, only just beaten by Flying Dutchman, but on the sire's side his breeding was good enough, as he was by Sir Hercules, grandshire of Leamington. In 1853 West Australian for the first time won the three great classic races for 3 year olds the Guineas, Derby and St. Leger. Since then this feat has seven times been equaled. National League Race. The most notable thing In the National League race during the past week has been the improved form of the ex-champion Boston team. The beaneaters seem to finally have struck a more natural gait, and it would not be surprising to the fans were they to keep it up until the cloee of the season. Boston has been handicapped all spring through lack of condition of its players and unfortunate accidents. This week the eastern clubs will play on their own grounds, and Bos ton among the rest is not expected to suf fer anything from the change. Chicago has bad a week of varied ex- Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble and Don't Know it. How To Find Ottt.

In passin through Toledo "Kid" McCoy, the pug ilist, found the time hanging heavily on his hands. He wandered about the un Ion depot until he encountered Jimmy McGrady, a 17 year old newsboy. He ap proached the street merchant and made a feint at him. The boy made an at tempt to get away and McCoy followed, making some -rapid jabs in the air and putting on a regulation bout in panto mime. Jimmy did not know he was in the presence of an aspirant for cham pionship honors and suddenly made the game good. He made a pass at McCoy and then landed a right swing, which put McCoy to the floor. McCoy arose and extended his hand to the paper merchant and complimented him on his knowledge of the game. Mike Padden's New Job. New York. Mav 29.

Two Country Women Living the Life of Hermits STARVE THEIR STOCK. Cattle and Horses to Suffer for Supposed Misdeeds. Both Women Feeble Minded and Superstitious. Thought They Had Power to Bring or Lull Storms. Hutchinson, May 29. A case brought in Justice Morris' court has been dis missed for peculiar reasons. It was a state case brought against Pauline Festro, or Fastrow, and her daughter, Ida, for cruelty to animals. It was al leged that these women tied certain an imals to posts and trees and allowed them to starve to death. Pauline Festro settled on a timber claim about ten miles southwest ot Nickerson directly north cf a quarter section owned by her father. The fam ily has been in Reno county since 1872 Pauline Festro has been divorced from her husband for about 18 years, b or several years Mrs. Festro and her daughter Ida have lived in strict seclu sion. The matter of their punishing their cattle, horses and hogs has for the past two years been the subject of much comment in the neighborhood. Calves were tied to trees where they could net reach the grass, hogs were left unfed at times in dry pens, and a horse was turned into a garden patch and allowed to wear his bridle until the animal died for want of feed and water. When the neighbors would call to expostulate against this cruelty the doors of Pau line's house were barred against them. Finally the thing became unbearable and the neighbors determined to take legal steps toward preventing the abuse of the stock. The state's witnesses testified to see ing several head of stock starved to death. When Mrs. Festro was put on the wit ness stand the case soon came to nn abrupt termination. From her replies to questions it was plainly evident that she was simply a feeble minded and sup erstitious woman, entirely incapable of managing her business affairs or at tending to the wants of stock. Her father died a year ago and since then she has had charge of a half section of land and what stock both families had owned. Mrs. Festro believes that her aged mother has power to bring storms or to prevent them. She says her fath er instructed her to not rent any of the land, and also to teach her grown daughter, Ida, to till the soil. This year only enough of the ground has been used to serve as a school for the girl's tanning lessons. FOR ANOTHER'S CRIME. I C.Carey Served Ten Years in Prison Reaches Parsons to Find His Sister Dead. Parsons, May 29. L. C. Carey, a man emaciated and apparently more aged with weight of woe than years, appear ed in the city the past week looking for his sister, after a confinement in the Huntsville, Texas, penitentiary over ten years, where he had been sentenced for life. He knew years ago that Geo. Sage and wife lived in this city. Mrs. Sage was his oldest sister and raised him to manhood, and when the prison doors opened and he went out a free man, it was unexpected, and in an almost dazed condition, he made his way here as best he could, believing he would find a warm welcome, but only to realize that Geo. B. Sage and wife were both dead. Twelve years ago Carey was in the employ of Harold Elckert, extensive cattle owners in Texas, the first named member of the firm being a brother-in-law. One day he rode in from the ranch to the town of Graham, in Young coun ty. He was armed with two large re volvers. Two miles and a half from Graham, while riding along the road he discovered a man lying by the side of the road. He dismounted to see what was the matter and discovered that the man had been shot through the body and was dead. Citizens and officers were soon at hand. Carey was suspected of having committed the crime, as he was tound to have two re volvers, and one with an empty cham ber which he had discharged the day before. Protestations of innocence were of no avail, and after bentg con fined in the county jail forover a year he was tried on the charge of murder and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. A man by the name of Peabody in a death-bed confession admitted that he was the man who had murdered Chas. H. Sanders twelve years before, and that an innocent man was expiating the crime in prison. No time was lost in releasing Carey and restoring him to citizenship, .and the suddenness of the great change sent him forth in a bewildered condition. HAVE WATER TROUBLES. Cherryvale to Submit a Proposition to Vote Bonds For Water Plant. Cherryvale, May 29. The mayor and council of Cherryvale have determined to submit to the people a proposition to vote $45,000 for the purpose of supplying the town with water. The water company has practically thrown up the sponge. It's franchise has six years yet to run and the com pany thinks it will not pay thern to seek a new source of supply for that length of time. Of course they would like to sell their. plant to the city. Their franchise specifies that the city must buy the franchise as well as pay the actual value of the plant, and also buy all outstanding accounts. Rise and Fall of a Kansas Daily. Fred Badger. Beginning with today the Neodesha Daily Sun and the Neodesha equally Daily Register cease to exist. That sentence may sound funny but it isn't. It is a death sentence. The Sun and the Register will hereafter slumber in the same peaceful grave, hands clasped beneath the weeping willow and the twining vine; under the laurel, the Reg 'ister; under the willows, the Sun, No flowers. Last Sunday evening the Register learned that the Sun intended to start a daily paper in Neodesha. It was pretty short notice for the Register but it de cided it could do just as much work for just as little money as anybody so it started a daily too that appeared on the same evening that the Daily Sun did.

There was a great deal of work in the world that the Reg ister hadn't done yet and a great deal of money in the world that the Register hadn't spent and with these splendid natural resources in its favor the Reg ister decided it could live just as long as the Sun could. It has done it and is satisfied. To the 124 subscribers who came to it by Wednesday noon and whose names were published yesterday and the 17 who have eome to it since, the RegisLer could have none but the warmest thanks. It shall always be the friend of every one of them whether they see fit to subscribe for the Weekly Register in the daily's place or not. To all those who had subscribed for the daily for a week from three to five papers are still due. These unexpired subscriptions will be filled with the same number of issues of the weekly, if that is satisfactory. If it isn't, you are out. The Register never refunds any money. It is against its principles you will have to stand it that long, anyway. Several persons in sisted on paying the carriers for sever.il weeks in advance. The Register could not refuse these subscriptions without betraying to the public that it believed it was really on its last legs even before it got on its first ones. The money thus paid will be credited on the weekly un less it is desired that it be refunded. The paper will be stopped as soon as the credit expires unless otherwise ordered. The weekly will not be forced on any body. You will all be swarming in to subscribe for it soon enough. Neodesha may have daily papers again but not for a year at least. By that time Neodesha may be big enough to support a daily paper or two. Let us hope so, anyway and if it is the Reg ister will be the best one; you may bet on that. And so good-bye. SMALLPOX SCARE.

The bill was referred to the ways and means committee, and Mr. Springer saw members of tha.t committee with a view to urging early action. He said as to the measure: "The National Live Stock association is the largest organization of its kind in the world, representing over $600,00:,- O0. and with it are federated cn this subject the American Short-Horn Br':edtrs association, the 'National Hereford Breeders' association, and some hundred live stock organizations.

They feel, too, that the time lias come for the allied stock interests of the United States to rpeak out in no uncertain tunc?, and they hope to di rect the attention of congress and the government to the. situation.

Santa Fe Management Discon tinues "Flyers." Last limited Train Will Leave Los Angeles Today. WILL BE A SEW TRAIN Equipment of Limited Trains Will Likely Be Used. Summer Schedule Will Probably Go in Effect July 1. The Santa Fe management haa or dered the California limited trains dis continued. No more limited train3 will be run out of Chicago, and the last east bound flyer will leave Los Angeles this evening. This action meana that the flyers will not be operated between Chicago and the Pacific coast after the opening of the line into San Francisco. The equip ment may be used and the service be less than daily, but the trains will not be run on a limited schedule. Much local work will have, to be done in the west. The two questions considered by San ta Fe officials in reference to train service after the opening of the San Francisco line has. been the continuance of the limited trains and the inaugura tion of daily overland trains similar to Nos. 1 and 2. The matter has not yet been fully decided, the only point de termined upon being the discontinuance of the flyers. It is not unlikely that the limited equipment will be used in operating first class "gilt edge" over land trains several times each week. The date of the summer schedule has not been named, but it goes into effect no later than July 1. WHAT MIGHT BE. Possibilities of Government Ownership of Railroad Discussed. In an article entitled "Turn On the Light," M. N. Butler of Topeka speaks pertinently of the question of govern ment ownership of railways and tele graphs through the medium of "The Railroad Telegrapher." Mr. Butler ad vocates government ownership, and gives his reasons as follows: "On government owned railways in Germany you can travel four miles for one cent. Wages of employes are 125 per cent higher than when operated by corporations. In ten years net profits increased 41 per cent. In a single year the government made a clear profit of $25,000,000. The state railway at Berlin sells annual tickets for five mile rides in and out of the city, at the volition of the purchaser, for $4. 50, and if the holder goes to the city in the morning and home at night he travels 3,650 miles a year. If he goes to dinner and returns to the city after supper, as many do, it means over 10,000 miles travel for less than $5. "Australian government-owned roads sell 1,000 miles travel, first class, for $6.50, a.nd workingmen ride six miles for two cents, twelve miles for four cents and thirty miles for ten cents. Wages there are 25 to 30 per cent high er, it seems, for eight hours' work than for the same labor here for ten hours. In Victoria, at these rates, the railways pay all the federal taxes. "In Belgium, government ownership reduced railway freights and fares one half, and doubled wages; then the year ly net revenue to the government is $4, 000.000. "In Hungary, since the government bought the railways, you can ride six miles for one cent, and wages have doubled. "New South Wales owns all railways, street car lines, telegraph and tele phones. All government mail and freight are carried free. Employes work eight hours per day. Engineers get $3.50 and common laborers $1.90 per day. Passenger fare is one and one-half cents per mile. Yet the 2,570 miles of railway carried 17,000,000 passengers and the net government profit per year is $5,000,000. "Are not Americans just as capable of owning and operating successfully gov ernment railways, telegraph lines and other giant enterprises, as any people on earth? "On a government-owned railway a person could travel from Boston to San Francisco for only $10. The United States pays $275 for a postal car be tween those two points. A passenger coach would carry fifty passengers, which, at $10 each, would be $500, or a net profit on each coach of $225, after paying 5 per cent on 100 per cent of watered stock." A FATAL LOCOMOTIVE. Wabash Believes No. 174 to Be Poa essed of an Evil Spirit. Peru, Ind., May 29. Engine No. 174, which was recently placed in the Wa bash shops for repairs, has a longer list of casualties to her credit than any other engine on the road. The engine is known as the "Pru Jonah," and was built at the Wabash shops as a matter of experiment. It proved to be one of the fastest engines on the road, but it was scarcely put into active service un til it went through a culvert east of the city. A short time afterward the en gine was in a rear-end collision in which several people were injured. On the first trip out after being repaired No.. 174 collided with another engine and two more men were added to her list of killed. After this accident oc curred the engine was sent back to this city and arrived here in time to suffer children growing nicely Stronger each month? A trifle heavier?

ARE another accident in which several men were injured. A number of minor accidents occurred, soon after this, and the engine was sent to the Chicago division for duty, where it haa kept up its reputation for both speed and casualties. On being re moved from the shop this time the en gine will be sent back to the Chicago division, as the railroad men are super stitious concerning it and truly believe as soon as the engine nears this city it is possessed with the evil one. PHILIPPINE RAILWAY. John Haisch Tells of the Proposed Government Line. John Haisch, ex-general manager of the Manila and Dagupan railway was a caller at the Rock island offices in this city recently. He spoke of the proposed new railway system soon to be built by the United States government in the Philippines. The proposed line will start from Bula can, about fifteen miles north of Ma nila, and will run in a zig-zag direction north through a fertile valley to a point in one of the northern provinces. The length of the line will be about 175 miles. The northern terminal will be Tuguegarao, in the state of Cagayan. xne line win De duiic through towns with aji average population of from 350,000 to 450,000. The land in this valley is very rich and all Kinds of native grains and fruits grow in profusion. There Is a range of mountains on either side of the valley completely shutting off any communication with the coast except by a long and circuitous route. a or this reason the resources of the country have never been developed. It nas oeen too aimcuit to rind a market for the products. Rice sells for about $2 per hundred more on the coast than it does in the interior. By this railroad being built through this section of the country an immense trade could be worked up. Another proposed line will extend south from Manila to Albay. This line will be about 175 miles in length also Besides this there will be about 50 miles of branch lines, making in all probably over 400 miles. THE OTHER SIDE. Advance in Price of Material Takes Much of Railroads' Revenues. As an example of what the railroads must run against in the purchase of rolling stock in these days of high prices, it is said that forty-foot furni ture cars on which bids were made one year ago at $761. this year in April were bid on at $975. Freight cars that in 1898 were bought for $442 now cost $700. Lists of all of the common materials used around the railroad shops showing the. comparison of prices with a year ago, prove that everything has ad vanced from 35 to 112 per cent; the whole making an average of 43 per cent advance. The heaviest raise has been in manufactured steel and iron. In ordering engines and cars, the con dition is found that every manufactur ing establishment of that kind is run ning full capacity with orders ahead for months. SANTA FE INSPECTION. President Ripley and Vice President Barr Are in the West A special Santa Fe train, composed of an engine and private cars No. 216 and 212, left Topeka yesterday morning, carrying General Manager Mudge and Trainmaster Robbins.

I am out of politics, so far as office seeking goes, and will not un der any circumstances be a candidate for congress." DECIDES AGAINST DEWEY Supreme Court Says He Must Be Content With $10,000 Prize Money. Washington, May 29. The United States supreme court said in deciding the claim of Admiral Dewey and his sailors for prize money: "All Americns recall with genuine de light and pride the marvelous achieve ments of our navy in the memorable engagement at Manila. But this court can not permit considerations of that character to induce it to depart from the established rules from the interpre tation of statutes. Nor can we allow our judgment to be influenced by the cir cumstances that congress has recently repealed all statutes giving bounty to officers and sailors of the navy for the sinking or destruction hereafter in time of war of an enemy's vessels, thereby, it may be assumed, indicating that in the judgment of the legislative branch of the government the policy of giving bounties to the navy was not founded in wisdom and should be abandoned. This court has nothing to do with ques tions of mere policy that may be sup posed to underlie the action of con gress." The original claim of Admiral Dewey and his sailors was about $400,000. The court of claims reduced it to $200,000. That decision is sustained by today's decision. The admiral's personal claim is reduced from about $20,000 to about $10,000. Chief Justice Fuller and Jus tices White and McKenna dissented. Ex-Secretary Herbert, counsel for Dewey and his men filed a petition for a rehearing. Mil. CHOATE THERE.

The ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Dr. j. Wesley Brown, rector of the church, was very simple. The bride's attendants were her sister, Mrs. Everett N. Culver.

A large force of men was put to work shortly after midnight and was busy until shortly before the hour set for the ceremony, putting in place thousands of cut flowers and tjther dec orations. MAY HELP CLEMENS. Rumored That Ex-Governor Lewelling Will Support Socialist. The latest rumor in Populist circles is to the effect that ex-Governor L. D. Lewelling will in the coming campaign identify himself with G. C. Clemens' Socialistic party, for the purpose of fighting the election of John Breiden thal to the office of governor. The men who have been fighting Breidenthal, prominent among them being Lewelling, seem to have made up their minds that Breidenthal has cap tured the nomination, but they do not seem to be satisfied to abide by the re sult of the convention in the event Breidenthal is named. Mr. Lewelling has not expressed him self publicly on this proposition but the report that he will work with Clemens and openly oppose Breidenthal's elec tion comes from men who claim to be in a position to know. WAS VERY SICK. Experience of E.W. Howe in Crossing the Ocean. From the Atchison Globe.l A letter received yesterday from E. W. Howe, editor of the Globe, relates that both he and his son Eugene, were very sick four days out of the seven In crossing the ocean; "as sick as any one could be and live." They were met at the station in Paris by Frank Fava, formerly of Atchison, who en gaged rooms for them that cost only two dollars a day for two nice large rooms, including light and attendance. Frank Fava is a nephew of A. L. De voto, and lived in Atchison a year, leaving last fall to become a guide at the exposition. He was student at the business, college while here. Mr. Howe's letters descriptive of his trip will not appear in the Globe until after his return to Atchison. They expect to sail for home Wednesday, on the North German Lloyd steamship "Lahn."

The candidacy of A. P. Elder of Ot tawa for state treasurer is no longer of a receptive character. He is now art avowed seeker of the nomination and hie county. Franklin, through the cen tral committee, has undertaken to cor ral the nomination for him. The county committee has adopted and is sending out in circular form, tha following declarations: "We, the friends of A. P. Elder of Franklin county, desire to call the at tention of the delegates elected to the Fort Scott convention July 24. 1900. to some of his qualifications for the office of state treasurer 'with a view to secur ing his nomination, should such a fair and harmonious division of the ticket be made as will allow the place to go to a Populist. He has been a consistent, in telligent and earnest party worker lor more than 20 years. "Mr. Elder has never asked for office and will not now press his claim if detrimental to party success. He is a. merchant as well as a practical me chanic, thoroughly familiar with con tract work, and an expert on steam, water and gas plant construction ami operation. As a member of the execu tive council his knowledge of these sub jects would be of great value to tha state. "His reputation for honesty and his business qualifications are such as to enable him to give the million dollar bond required. the feecond congressional district has but few aspirants for places on tha state ticket and its claims should not ba overlooked. "We commend Mr.Elder to vour caie- ful consideration, believing his name ont tne state ticket would add strength thereto." Mr. Elder is the son of the venerable! P. P.

AN INTERNAL REMEDY. A Pleasant Tasting Tablet; Simple, Convenient; Cures Every Form of Catarrh. The use of Inhalers, douches, sprays, salves and powders for catarrh is a nuisance and inconvenience at the best, and cannot compare with antiseptic remedies in tablet form for internal use. Internal remedies are the only ones which can really reach the seat of the disease w hich is in the blood and local applications can no more cure catarrh than rheumatism or kidney trouble, the excessive secretion in nose and throat being local manifestations of a deep seated poison in the blood. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the most successful of the various internal reme dies, is composed principally of highly concentrated antiseptics, which destroy the catarrh germs in the blood and causes them to be eliminated through the natural channels. Progressive physicians use and advise Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because they contain no cocaine, no opiate, no ener vating drug whatever, but are compos ed of Guaicol, Hydrastin, Red Gum and similar catarrh antiseptics, and are so safe and pleasant that even little child ren may use them with excellent re sults. Catarrh sufferers who have wasted time and money on local applicatoins should not despair of a radical cure un til a trial of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets has been made. A complete treatment may be pur chased at any drug store for fifty cents.

About the only way to avoid the consequences in a case of that sort would be to chase the dog up the street. METALS OUR SPECIALTY. An exportation of forty million dol lars' worth of manufactures in thirty days Is a record unparalleled for Ameri can manufactures. That la the record for the month of April, 1900. The details of the April exportationa just com pleted by the treasury bureau of sta tistics show that the exportation of manufactures during that month were by far the greatest of any month in our history and within a fraction of forty million dollars. This gives assur ance that the exports of the fiscal year which ends with June will consider ably exceed 400 million dollars and be nearly three times as much as a de cade ago. This phenomenal Increase in exportation of manufactures is es pecially striking when compared with the progress made by European nations, our rivals in the attempt to supply the world's market wilh manufactured goods. Grtat Britain's exports of man ufactures show but slight increase since 1S90. and an examination of the export record of the principal European countries falls to disclose an instance In w hich the increase has been as much as 25 per cent., while that of the Unit ed States meanwhile has been, more than lo0 per cent. An examination of the details of our own exportation of manufactures shows that it Is in the production manufacture and exportation of metals that we seem to excel. The history of nations and peoples shows that great groups of people frequently excel in cer tain industries, and the growth of our exportation, as well a3 our domestic production of manufactures, seems to point to metals as our most successful line of work, especially at the present time. In 18S9, manufactures of metals formed less than 20 per cent, of our total exportation of manufactures, and In 1900 will be about 45 per cent, of our exports of manufactures. The increase in exportation of metals and manufac tures thereof In the decade 18S9-1898 was 339 per cent., while the increase In the exportation of all manufactures in that time was but 110 per cent., and the in crease in manufactures other than those of metal duing that time was 63 per cent. In this statement of the exportation of manufactures of metal, only those articles composed exclusively of metals are Included; those made up in part of metals, such as railway cars, agricul tural machinery, etc., being included In the other manufactures. The rapid Increase In the exportation of manufac tures of metals is shown by the fact that the exports of brass and manufac tures thereof in 1SS9 were but $321,137. and in 1900 will reach Jl. 700.000; instru ments for scientific purposes increased from $1, 033.338 to S2.770.803, and in the year about to end will reach nearly $G, 0r,o,000: copper and its manufactures, which amounted in 1SS9 to 2,3-lS,9ol, will b more than fifty million dollars In 1900; Iron and steel Increased from J21, luS.077, In 1&S9, to $70,406,885 in 1898, while In the fiscal year 1900 It will exceed $100,000,000. Another Interesting fact developed by the examination of the figures is that the European countries, In which manu factures have been long established, furnish as satisfactory a market for our manufactured goods as do the countries where manufacturing has not yet been largely developed. In reapers and mowers, clocks and watches, sew- ng machines, bicycles, and the Various manufactures of iron and steel, and many other articles of the higher grades of manufacture," the European countries in which manufacturing plants and machinery and skilled work men abound, furnish a .market for a large share of our exports, thus falling to justify the expressed fear that a de velopment of manufactures In countries where we are now seeking a foothold for our commerce would destroy their value as a permanent market. As already indicated, the largest growth in our export of manufactures is in those of metals. The largest class of manufactures of metals exported Is that of Iron and steel. In 18S0 the ex port of manufactures of Iron and steel was $14,716,624, and in 1900 will exceed $100,000,000. or more than seven times that of 1880. In no feature of our export trade has there been a more remarkable growth during the decade than in rails for rail ways, especially these of steel. The total exportation of iron rails In 13S9 was but seven tons, and In 1S9S, 2,769 tons, the value rising from $240 In 1889 to $37,150 in 1898. In steel rails, how ever, .the growth waa even more re markable, the number of tons exported In 18S9 being 7,398, and in 1S9S, 229.783, while the value increased from $235,387 in 1889 to $4,613,376 In 1S98, and In the fiscal year 1900 seems likely to reach $8,000,000. This Increase has been es pecially marked during the past three years, the exports of steel rails in the fiscal year 1S96 being $540,797, those of 1897 $2,482,208, and those of 1898 $4,613, 376, those of 1899 $5,298,125, while the first ten months of the present fiscal year show a gain of about $2,000,000 over the corresponding months of last year. While this rapid increase is due to a generally increased demand, the coun tries showing the most marked growth In their purchases of steel rails from the United States are Russia, Canada and Japan. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. By the time a practical joke, is car ried out, it is no longer funny. When a man approaches you and be gins telling how honest he is, hold your hand on your pocketbook. At every funeral, some one says that It is particularly sad, because the de ceased "Bad so much to live for." Do you want to be popular? Re member what ailed a woman when you last saw her, and how a man likes his coffee. A man doesn't object to telling his wife often what he likes to eat, but he thinks the fact that he told her ten years ago that he was fond of her should be sufficient for today. There is considerable excitement In town. A woman went away on a visit, and her daughter has been giving a series of card parties ever since. This is not her crime, however; It is round that she has been giving away pieces of her mother'3 best china dinner set for prizes. When a baby cries at an entertain ment, turn around and look disapprov ingly at its mother. She is not pinch ing it to make it cry. Is trying her best to hush it. and probably had no one to leave it with at home, but that makes no difference. By no means, remem ber that you were a baby once your self. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Never say die. Expire sounds much better. The one new thing under the sun each day is the date. Never make pleasure an excuse for neglecting your business. One frequently sees money-bags, but it never bag3 at the knee. Marriage Is the box on which many a safety match is Ignited. If a man has good judgment he oc casionally uses the judgment of others. Train up the child of today In the way it should go and away it goes. Some amateurs are stage struck and some professionals are stage truck. Windows have more or less panes and one frequently sees a wlndow-blind- An old bachelor says that old mald3 are embers from which the sparks have tied. There is nothing like a fixed purpose. It dignifies one's nature and insures success. Some people shine in society because of their polished manners and some be cause of their polished boots. Dignity is a poor thing to stand on when you find yourself in the rear of crowd and want to see the procession No man should think of marrying un til he can listen to a crying baby in the next room without saying things that wouldn't look well in print. 'QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. It is harder to remember a virtue than a fault. The lawyer who attends to his own business is a sort of legal tender. In the eyes of the bibulous the fel low who carries a corkscrew is never a bore. The somnambulist who tumbles from a roof is an illustration of one way to fall asleep. No, Maude, dear, people who are re garded as the "salt of the earth, are not to be found in cellars. It is a source of consolation to the married man to know that there are lots of bald-headed bachelors. Some men seem to think that when their wives begin to spoon it means that they are expected to fork over. The reason a woman can never hold the mirror up to nature is because she Is too busy looking In it herself. Nell "They say she is two-faced." Belle "Yes; I've seen her in the morn ing before she had a chance to make up." irst Doctor That sick man is a conundrum to me." Second Doctor "What did you do?" First Doctor "I gave him up."

Negroes have boycotted the cars and the whites ob ject to being made to sit on a front sent when they prefer to sit further back. The ordinance provides that the two front seats are reserved for whites and the two back seats for negroes. When these are filled, the whites are axsigned to third front seat and negroes to third back seat, and so on till they n.oet.

Rich Dry Placer Mines Fifteen Miles North of Barstow. Randsburg, Cal.. May 29. There is ex citement on the Mojave desert, about forty-eight miles southeast of here, and fig teen miles north of Barstow, over the dis covery of rich dry placer mines. Many miners have gone from here and nearly 4.000 claims have been taken up, mostly in quarter sections, eight men joining to gether in each. Some of the ground is rich enough to yield 25 cents to three shovelfuls of dirt. Bed rock is close to the surface. There are 2o0 men on the ground now and more are coming in all the time. The nearest water is eight miles away. There are good Indications of rich quartz. BABY HEIR IS ILL. Infant Who Inherits $10,000,000 Sick at His Newport Home. Newport, R. I., May 29. The illness of the infant son of the late John Nich olas Brown, who is heir to $10,000,000, and the richest baby in Newport, is causing his mother and relatives much anxiety. The boy, who is only 3 months old, fell heir to not only the bulk of his father's estate, but also the greater part of that of his uncle's, Harold Brown, within a month. He was taken ill Thursday and a physician was eum- moned from New York. SHAFTER MUST WAIT. Present Congress Will Not Promote Him to a Major Generalcy. Washington. May 29. General Shaf fer, at the head of the department of the Pacific, will not be promoted to a major generalcy at this session of con gress, according to an agreement or tne senate committee on military affairs to day. Few if any members of congress showed any signs of opposing the gen eral's promotion, but there was a pro nounced sentiment In lavor or letting the bill making provisions for his re tirement as a major general in the reg ular army He over to next session. The committee will recommend the passage of the bill then. IGNORED PLATT. Secretary Root Appoints Men to Office Over the Senator's Protest. New York May 29. The Herald to morrow will say: There has been much surprise among New York Republicans at the action of Secretary Root of the war department. In nominating George W. Lyon, former secretary of the Union League club, to a place in the Philippines and In otter ing a high Judicial position in Porto Rico to Charles T." Saxton, now judge of the court of claims. It has become known that Secretary Root did not think it worth while to consult Senator Piatt about these appointments. Mr. Lyon was formerly surveyor of the port of New Tork. He was corpora tion attorney under Mayor Strong and is not an organization Republican. Judge Saxton stood up in the Saratoga convention which nominated Governor Roosevelt and after withdrawing hi3 own name from consideration for gov ernor, threw the vote of Wayne county to Governor Black, who made him a judge of the court of claims a year be fore the expiration of the term of the judge whose place he was to fill. Senator Piatt bitterly opposed the suggestion that Mr. Saxton succeed Louis F. Payn as superintendent of insurance. A F0RTU1NE FOR LOVE. Illinois Man Forfeits an Estate by Marrying the Girl of His Choice. Springfield, 111., May 29. Gustav Jorns of this city has proved his love for his sweetheart by forfeiting all interest in his father's estate. The bulk of the es tate was left to him, but there was a provision in the will that, should he marry Gertrude Garms, he would for feit his interest. It was learned today that Jorns and Miss Garms were mar ried May 16 at Evansville, Ind. The wedding was kept a secret until today and was then made public by young Jorns, who told his former guar dian, Attorney John S. Schnepp. The Garms family knew of their daughter's wedding to Jorns, but said nothing about It. Jorns and his bride returned home a few days ago. They are now living with Henry Garms, the bride's father. The elder Jorns, before his death, had learned that his son and Miss Garins were betrothed and he bitterly objected to their wedding. Just why he opposed the match is not known, but it was sup posed that it was because his son was not of age. The hostility expressed toward the young woman by the terms of the will would, however.indicate that he had some special aversion to .her. The New York Was Late. New York. May 28.

Minister Appeals to Gov ernment for Protection. Washington, May 29. Such advices as have reached here indicate that the sit uation in China has assumed a very critical phase and one calculated to tax the entire resources of the Chinese gov ernment. The state department has been in close communication with Mr. Conger, our minister at Pekin and the navy department is doing its share, having placed the flagship Newark as far up the Pel Ho river as the Taku forts, which is the nearest point to Pe kin that the ship can reach. The opera tions of the "boxers" are increasing in magnitude. Their demonstrations are no longer local and they appear to be governed in their movements by some well settled design. They have mur dered nine Methodist missionaries in one province, at the town Pachow, and have closed In on Pekin. Meanwhile the Chinese army is suspected of disloyalty, this belief being strengthened by whole-, sale desertions of the soldiers to "the boxers." Minister Conger has appealed to the state department for the protection of a marine guard for his legation. The department has promptly cabled him an authorization to call upon the nearest United States naval vessels for assist ance. It is not known yet whether he has availed himself of the permission. The ship he would naturally look to would be the Newark and it is assumed that he has already' communicated with Admiral KempfE on board that flagship. The embarrassing feature of the situa tion is the cutting of the communica tion by rail between Taku and Tien Tsin and the capitol. for the "boxers" have burned the railroad bridges and there are probably only two courses open to the marines who wish to reach Pekin a long overland march through a hostile country away from supports, or a tedious voyage up the swift and shallow Pel Ho in shore boats in tow of steam launches. INCREASE FOREIGN GIFTS. Baptist Missionary Union Decides to Increase Assessments 25 Per Cent. Detroit, May 29. British India mis sions were discussed at length by mis sionaries employed in that field in to day's sessions of the Baptist missionary union. The attendance and Interest in creased rather than abated In the clos ing day of the nine days' session of the missionary anniversaries. Toward the close of the morning session a proposi tion to call for an increase of gifts to foreign missions this year by 25 per cent over those of last year, prevailed by a unanimous vote. A resolution was offered by D. D. McLaurin, D. D., of Detroit changing the system of repre sentation in the annual meetings from the present basis as to elect practically one delegate for every 400 Baptists. At present the making of a contribution is a prerequisite for representation of a church In the missionary body. Under the construction the resolution was laid over for a year. The addresses today were as fol lows: "Movements of a Decade in Burmah," F. H. Evelith, D. D., Insein; "The Burman Frontiers," Rev. W. W. Cochrane, Namkham, Shan States; "Progress in the Teluga Mission," John McLaurin, D. D., Coonor; Rev. G. H. Brock, Kanigiri. DREYFUS AMNESTY BILL Reported for Discussion in the French Senate. Paris, May 29. The senate reassembled today and M. Eugene Guerin presented his report on the amnesty bill, the pro visions of which prevent further criminal proceedings arising out of recriminations in tne oreylus case and in accordance with the wishes of the eovernment. he asked for discussion of the measure next i-xiaay. to which the senate asrreed. The report says that the former Captain Al fred Dreyfus is excluded from the am nesty, owing to serious double objection that amnesty, in effacing all trace of the condemnation and crime itself, would have as a consequence, the instatement of Dreyfus in all his rights, while on the other nana it would deprive him of the rights to seek a revision of his case. The bill will have the effect of removing var- ous suits trom the criminal courts to civil jurisdiction and the most complete light on the Dreyfus affair may thus be thrown but without noise and without scandal.

The number of visitors in the city in attendance up on the reunion of confederate veterans which opens tomorrow was augmented by about 5,000 this morning. It is esti mated that by tonight there will be at least 30,000 strangers in the city. The chief arrivals of the day were Gen. John B.

Gordon was met at the depot by a large number of the mem bers of the reception committee and es corted to the Louisville hotel where the headquarters of the association are lo cated. JAPANESE SHUT OUT. Government Board Orders De portation of a Large Number. Taeoma, Wash., May 29. A spe cial board of inquiry composed of Col lector W. A. Fairweather, chairman, Deputy Collectors ,W. De Lacey and Robert Watchorn, special supervising immigration inspector, who is in Ta eoma from Washington for the express purpose of inquiring into the sudden immigration of Japanese to this coast, worked from 7 o'clock last night until midnight passing on 71 Japanese who had been rejected by Immigration In spector Walker on the steamship Glen ogle. Out of this number the board rejected fifty of them outright. This is by far the largest number ever re jected out of a single shipment to the Sound. Nineteen of the remaining 21 came dangerously near being rejected also. They were allowed to land only upon the Japanese consul giving his guarantee that they would obtain em ployment within the next 60 days. Some of the 50 Japanese were rejected because they had infectious diseases. Or;e had consumption. Others were re jected because it appeared that they were contract laborers. Only two out of the entire 71 passed the examination successfully. The Glenogle brought 35S Japanese to Taeoma on this trip, and the percentage of rejections was un usually large. The Japanese missionary at Taeoma. who makes it his business to find employ ment for the Jananese emierrants. admit ted to the examining board that there are now suo Japanese in Taeoma, out of em ployment. Inspector Snyder, of Seattle, says there are 400 Japanese out of work in that city. Another thing brought out In the inves tigation Is that more than three times as many Japanese are landed In Victoria as are brought to the sound ports. When the news reaches Japan that 50 Japanese out of a single shipment have been rejected in Taeoma, the next ship that comes will likely unload the entire lot In Victoria, and let thorn take chances of crossing the lines in small bodies. If they are caught they can not be sent back any tartner than Victoria, wnereas, it they are rejected in Taeoma, they must go back to Japan. The Glenogle is due to sail on Wedrfsday. so the Japanese will have but little time in which to ap peal their cases to Washington, should they so desire.

The attention of people who happened to be on the streets of Glenwood Springs Wednesday afternoon was drawn to a party of three worn out and wearv hunt ers who rode into town accompanied bv eight fox hounds that seemed to be weil fagged out, and. like their masters, ap peared to have seen some verv hard ser vice the last day or so. But what seemed to interest the people was an Immense bear pelt of the silver tip family. The hunters were A. S. Baxter, who is known all over this part of the state as an Ideal guide' and hunter of the western slope. The other hunters were Charles Baxter and John Halford. When the hide was hung up it was found to be 9 feet 6 inches across from front paw to front paw, and 8 feet 6 inches in length. The bear balanced the scale at 918 pounds and the hide alone weighed seventy-five pounds. For this Mr. Baxter refused an offer of $150. An impression of the paws of the animal was taken in plaster of paris at the taxidermy establishment and is quite a curiosity. The front paw measures 11 inches in length bv t incnes in width and the hind one llii inches by 7 Inches. Mr. Baxter, whose fifteen years of experience, as a hunter has brought to his notice animals of all kinds, size and quality, savs it is without a doubt the largest bear ever killed in this part of the country. He was an old vet eran of the mountains and is at least 15 years of age, possibly 20. The party of three, on horseback, and with ten trained hounds and a pack horse, started out last Sunday morning more to exercise the dogs themselves after a win ter's rest than with the exneotation of seeing bear, as they could hardly be ex pected out of their winter holes yet in the deep snows of the higher ranges. As the party traveled in a northwesterly direc tion from this town on a gradual rise the warm, spring climate of the valley soon gave place to the cold and frost of the higher altitude. On the second day out. the party while traveling down one of the tributaries of Piceance Creek, which flows into the White river, and passing through dense underbrush, in which it was hard to see the trail of any animal. the hounds suddenly became alert and very nervous. Suddenly Babe, the leader of the pack, gave a crv. which was instantly followed by Old Bill, an other valuable dog:, aid "the rest of the pack. The hunters, who had pass ed over the tracks without see ing them, immediately turned back and dismounted to investigate. Bv following the dogs, which were held in leash, they soon came to ground more open, where the immense tracks and trail of the beast proclaimed him to be Old Sachem, the patriarch of the mountains, whose tracks had been of ten seen from time to time for the last six years, but who had proved himself too cunning for those who cared to risk following him into his retreats. They followed the trail for about eight miles until the signs became so fresh that they knew they were not far behind. The trail had led them across creek bottoms, up steep gulches and mountain sides and over snow fields from two to five feet deeD. The snow crust bore up the hunt ers and their horses, while frequently and in many places the big beast they were I tollowmg nad nroiten tnrougn ana tnus made his course a very hard one. The horses, too, of the hunters were about fagged out and the horse that Charlie Baxter rode had given out entirely and his rider was left behind. When the signs showed the nearness of the bear the whoie pack was loosed and away they went in full cry, which made the mountains ring. The two remaining hunters slowly followed on horseback at a slow gait and as best they could. It was not many minutes before the hunters from a rise heard the hounds about a mile away in a dense grove of willows and small quaking asps at the head of Cow Creek in Book cliffs, baying the bear, which, from the noise made, was more than holding his own. The fact that there were no large trees, rocks, or other cover to retreat to in case the wounded brute should make a charge on the hunters, and the sound of break ing willows and the crash of falling sap lings would have struck terror to the heart of less brave men than our hunters. As it was. Jack seemed to have no stom ach for the fight, while Sieve, knowing by the sounds of the yelps and cries that his dogs were getting the worst of it and being killed, cocked his gun and ventured Into the thicket. The bear and the dogs had cleared a space of about fifty feet and were so earnestly engaged that they did not see Steve, while Steve, seeing his dead and wounded dogs lying about and the unequal tight going on, thought it time, if he wished to save any of his hounds, to take a hand in the affair. Bruin's pre-occupation gave Steve his op portunity and he took careful aim at the heart, knowing his own life would not be worth much if he simply wounded him. Just as Steve pulled the trigger the bear gave a quick movement and the ball en tered his flank, ranging toward his head. The shot, though, proved fatal -and the huge brute tumbled forward on his head to the ground. Immediately he was completelv covered by the dogs, althoneh he dug deep furrows in the ground with his immense claws, and in his death struggles broke willow bushes and sap lings as large as a man's arm like pipe stems, he never regained his feet again and in a very short tim? he was dead. The bear was found in size well up to the tales told of him at numerous camp fires. While one stroke of his claw had crush ed in the head of Babe, the loader of the hounds, and half tore his head from his body, another blow had crushed the rib and disemboweled Old Bill, the next best dog in the pack. Others were terribly mauled. This was a great loss to Steve, as he valued both dogs at over $100 apiece. 'It was almost a miracle. Burdock Blood Bitters cured me of a terrible breaking out all over the body. I am very grateful." Miss Julia Filbridgc. West Cornwell, Conn. declares that it isn't econ moctew a gmle co. eme?

Commission Merchant. 112 West Fifth street, Topeka, Kan., receiver and shipper of grain. New Tork, May 29. Wall street is wait ing for some new influence to arouse the speculative spirit. It has become in a measure indifferent to such favorable matters as continued gains in ratimad earnings, although probably these flatter ing reports go far to make holders tena cious of their securities. The $13.ooti.(rn) failure of last week did not produce any important liquidation. That being the cajse. it was hardly to be expected that yesterday's failure on ar smaller pcale should have much effect, although in this latter instance stocks had mainly to be bought, not sold under; the rule. Commis sion house business has dwindled to al most nothing and the large interests in the market are quiescent, considering all the circumstances. Sentiment is encour aged by the firmness with which prices hold, but something more than pure sen timent, namely active buying or selling i-4 needed to remove the discontent of com mission brokers and impatient speculative traders. It is not monetary uncertainties which are holding stock exchange activity in check. The drop in money prices all over the world ought to remove all fear i V, irh. v,,,!,!,, ehnr, ,,r Xwrior-tr-.i r.f.i-ii cal developments abroad set ins iiitety fur .some time to disturb the international money market. On the contrary, if any thing, the prospect is favorable to larger 'supplies of cash later on, because the progress of the British arms In South Africa continues very favorable. At the same time, riprht here, it may be well not to ignore entirely the uncertainty whiih still surrounds the intention of the Boer burghes with regard to inflicting damage upon the mines of Johannesburg. So too. it is not entirely out of the question to consider the possibility of a crisis in China, which might introduce a new ele ment into the currents of the money mar kets all the world over.

The Chronicle savs: hnt-vr may be the views entertained by individual members of the Grand Armv of the Republic posts of Chicago on the question of making one of the features of the encampment the return to the south ern states of the Confederate battleflags, the local committee will be guided entire ly by the action taken by congress. That there is a great sentiment in favor of the restitution of the flag's was evidenced yes terday when it was announced that sev eral prominent members of the G. A. R. have a plan in hand to secure the author ization of congress for the return of the banners which are at present in the cus tody of the war department. The matter was brought to the atten tion of the executive committee having charge of the arrangements for the en campment and at a meeting held last evening it was decided that it would be unwise to take any action at this time cither for or against the giving back of the (lags. It was argued that the matter did not come within the jurisdiction of the G. A. R. for the reason that the flags are the property of the federal govern ment and can not be disposed of without a joint resolution of congress. It was the unanimous opinion of the committee, however, that should congress authorize by joint resolution the restora tion of the standards the local committee of arrangements would do all in its power to make the presentation ceremony one of the touching features of the encamp ment. It is planned that if the consent of congress can be obtained the flags will be turned over to the G. A. H. and Presi dent McKinley then will hand the torn banners to the representatives of the Con federate military organizations who will be invited to Chicago for the ceremony. 'Colonel V. H. Harrier, the chairman of the executive committee of the encamp ment explained that the G. A. R. as an organization could not afford to indorse or oppose the movement at the present time (or the reason that it was a matter en tirely in the hands of congress. "To my personal knowledge." said he, "many members of the organization are not in favor of parting with the Cofl.'ed- erate battleflags and on the other hand, many favor such a move. Ke that as It may, 1 think the action of the executive committee will tend to show that the G. A. R. is loyal and will abide by the deci sion of congress." General John C. Black, Commander Ijongnecker and Major Blgelow. of the ex ecutive committee, entertained similar opinions on the action taken by that body but declined to express personal views on the wisdom of turning the flags over to the Confederate army organizations. Vol ney "W. Foster aiyl Alexander H. Revell who have declared themselves in favor of such action providing it is authorized by the national legisla ors. communicated with the committee dur.r-T the afternoon and will write to Washington. DECIDED AT LAST. Santa Fe S hopmen Decide to Picnic at St. Joe. St. Joseph has been finally decided upon as the place at which to hold the next annual picnic of the Santa i'e shopman. Since the committee in charge secured the reduction in rates, another vote of the shopmen was taken which resulted in the following score: St. Joseph, Co-i; Kansas City, 468; Atchison, 104; Leav enworth, 2i. The rate which has been granted for the occasion by the railroad company is 75 cents for adults and 40 cents for children. The instructions issued by the company are stringent. The members of tho general committee will be given coupon books and the tickets will be sold on the coupon plan as last year, but no one will be allowed to change his coupon for a larger number of tickets after he has once received the coupon. If a person asks for what seems an un reasonable number an investigation will be made before he is given the cou pon calling for that number of tickets. Inspectors will be on the lookout and when an outsider is found on the train with a shopman's ticket he will be put off and a full fare deducted from the check of the person who called for and sold the ticket. Charles Cross has charge of the mat ter of the arrangement of the pro gramme. It will be practically the sani? as the one last year. Thirty-five dollars in cash prizes will be given. The first section of the excursion train will leave the depot in Topeka at 6 o'clock prompt. Other sections will fol low at intervals of 20 minutes. Strike of Section Hands. Scranton, Pa., May 29.

United Verde Copper Company Con cealed Much of Its Assets. New York. May 29. The result of the appeal from the ruling of the tax com missioners by the Enited Verde Cop per company to the supreme court for a review of the assessment levied upon the corporation for the year 1899 is that Justice Freedman.in the supreme court today, handed down a decision dismis sing with costs the writ of certiorari secured by the company and increased the assessment from $1,440,532 to $2,- 373.920. The increase was caused by the re searches of Corporation Counsel Whalen into the affairs of the United Verde Copper company. He discovered that the commissioners of the taxes had made errors of fact and law in fixing the lower sum, which militated to the advantage of the company by failing to includeamongthe taxable assets United V erde Pacific railroad bonds worth $300,000 and certain copper in transit for sale worth $630,000. Senator Clark of Montana is a large stockholder in the United Verde Cop per company, which owns the larger copper mines in the world. The com pany claimed that,notwithstanding that it is a domestic corporation, it has its principal offices in this city, that it has gross assets of $3,814,452 and surplus earnings of over $600,000; that it has paid a 40 per cent dividend on its $3,000, 000 of stock: that its total taxable as sets in this jurisdiction are limited to property valued at $122,290.3S. consist ing of office furniture in this city valued at $1,500 and a cash balance of $120, 790.38 in bank.

After the morning marriage serv ice in the church the bridal party, in caleehe or carriole, makes a tour of calls upon relatives and friends during the day and then returns again to church for vespers. Before the evening dance at the bride's new home comes the supper. "When the company rises from the table, the bride keeps her neat, and pomo one asks with great dig n i t y: "W h y does madarr.e wait? Is she so poon in bad grace She replies: "Somebody has stolen my slip per. I cannot walk." Then they car ry her, chair and all, into the middle of the room, while a loud knock ing announces a grotesque, ragged vend er of boots and shoes. He kneels be fore the slipperless bride and tries on a long succession of old boots and shoes of every variety and size until at last he finds her missing shoe. The groom redeems it for a good price, which is spent in treating the company. If the groom is not watch ful, they steal her hat and cloak, which he redeems in the same way; and they Iiave been known to steal the bride, for which there must be liberal pay. The church forbids round dances, so they content themselves with contra dances. The event of the evening is a jig in which a guest volunteers to outdance the bride. If successful, the visitor de mands a prize for the groom. 4 vK Trying on the shoes. A PRETTY XOTIOX, A very dainty, "pretty notion that is having a wide vogue in the French cap ital just now may strike one as being rather useless and too conspicuous, but as worn by Frenchwomen they really have a decided grace. These are flower boas for evening wear. The pretty lit tle affairs are oftenest made of detach ed petals of artificial flowers massed together to form a blooming garland. Then the ends are finished with a clus ter of full blown flowers, buds and leaves. New Catholic Bishop. Columbus, O., May 29. Rev. Henry Moeller, of Cincinnati, has been ap "inted bishop of Columbus to succeed Bishop Wulterson who died about 13 months aso. The announcement reach ed here indirectly, but a message to Father Moeller brought this reply: "Ap pointment to Columbus received." The consecration will probably take place In Cincinnati, July 2,".. Funeral services of the late William Frederick of Highland Park will be held Wednesday, 2:20 p. in., at residence of his daughter, Mrs. C. C. Moore at whose house he died this morning. Ten of the twenty delegates to the Republican national convention met at the Copeland hotel last night to discuss plans for the trip and to arrange the details of the visit to Philadelphia. J. R. Burton was made chairman of the meeting; B. H. Tracy acted as secre tary. The delegates adjourned to meet at Kansas headquarters, the Continental hotel in Philadelphia Monday morning preceding the convention. The disposal of the business furnished considerable amusement to the visitors, Capt. John Seaton being especially facetious in the course of his remarks. Mr. Seaton used his old favorite but once but the even ing did not pass without the use, on his part, of the expression: "I have no de sire to be captious." Mr. Seaton wanted the delegates to wear silk hats, linen dusters and carry red umbrellas but the proposition failed to receive the sanction of the delegates except to the extent of Sunflower badges which will be furnished. A crowd of visitors were sitting in the hotel parlor doors near Mr. Burton. When the conversation turned to badges one of the visitors told Burton to suggest corkscrews for badges. "The delegates are now supplied,"said S. B. Roehr of Leroy. "That would not be a good plan," said F. G. Hunsecker of Osage City,"because we could not be distinguished from the Kentucky delegation." It was suggested by Mr. Seaton that the Kansas delegation should rig itself properly to do credit to its constituents. "I want to say, said Mr. Seaton, that I have spent considerable money in my fights in Atchison county to get where am at this moment, but I am willing to spend some more to make a credita ble showing for our constituents." 'I suggest we have badges, said R. M. Emery of Seneca, "because it may be the last convention we will attend. "Perhaps," said Mr. Burton, "but I hope to be around when a good many more are being held." The discussion ended by the appoint ment of Capt. Seaton, S. B. Roehr and Judge W. G. Holt cf Kansas City as a committee to procure badges. r. Seaton will see to it that the badges are delivered to the delegates without expense to them," said Mr.Bur- ton with a laugh. T want to say. said Mr. Seaton fair ly leaping to his feet, "that I don't know about this. Ihe delegates laughed whereupon Mr. Seaton explained by saying: "I have in my office at Atchison a number, probably 20 of the Douglas house sledges which I paid for and with the understanding that men who order ed them would pay me. The sledges are still there and I want to say that I don't want a lot of second-hand rosettes on my hands." "The gentleman from Atchison will furnish the delegates badges without further trouble to them," said Mr. Bur ton. The crowd laughed and Captain Seaton took his seat, saying: "I'll have to stand for this I guess." Air. seaton shortly renewed his sug gestion for "head-gear" but Mr. Low said: "I think the eastern delegations use hats alike and many of them dres3 alike, but the western delegates are more modest and as a rule wear only the ordinary clothing. The Sun flower badges which Capt. Seaton will furnish will be all that is necessary, in my "judgment. Then came the subject of transporta tion and the method of reaching Phila delphia. It was discovered that a ma jority of the delegation will go in ad vance of the convention date; some on business; some to visit, so that the crowd going will be very small. How ever, it is the plan to return in a body via Washington and call upon the pres- laent. When the subject of going was being discussed, upon a motion to designate a committee of three for transportation Capt. Seaton provoked more merriment at his expense by saying: "I am going alone, except mv wife The captain's remarks ended there. The delegates laughed so heartily at hi that he sat down and begged the news paper men present not to print what he said about his wile. The Kansas delegates can not accent the invitation of the Hamilton club of Lnicago to go in a body with that or ganization to Philadelphia because of the tact that the Kansans will go at dif ferent times and there will in no case probably, be more than two or three delegates in the party. The delegates adjourned to meet In Philadelphia on Monday preceding the Meeting of the State Central Commit tee." follows: "The action of the committee In electing Mr. Albaugh chairman does not come in the nature of a surprise. Since the state officers determined three days ago to take no part in the selection of a chairman the result has been a foregone conclusion. The opposition to Albaugh. on the part of those who have heretofore desired to see Lelandism eliminated as the controlling force of the Republican party in Kansas, was because of his being a member of the Leiand machine and not because of any personal animosity to Mr. Albaugh. This at least has been the basis, of the Capital's opposition to. Albaugh and the paper has voiced the sentiment of many earnest Republicans who could see no good reason for Mr. Albaugh, or any other man against whom any consider able number of voters protested, being torcea upon tne party as chairman of the state committee. "All of this is familiar to our readers. While we wish to say further that the editor of 'the Capital does not at this time retract one syllable of what has appeared in tnese columns against Mr. AiDaugn s being made chairman, those having the power to select a chairman having given the honor to Mr. Albaugh it becomes the duty of. all who wish to see Republican success to acquiesce in the will of the ma jority, and to lay aside personal and fac tional opposition and do what they can to bring victory in November. The tri umph of Republican policies and princi ples is of vastly greater importance than the suecess or defeat of any man. "The Capital, while independently pre senting its political opinions, which it en deavors to sustain with reasons based upon the logic of facts, is at all times a partisan for Republican success because the party is the safest business organiza tion for the country, and In its policies on all the great questions of progress for the nation has no competitor. The op position to the Republican party amounts only to combinations for the offices, lack ing in patriotism and the "national policies worthy this great, prosperous people. "The success of the Republican party in Kansas in lsioO will place the state per manently in the Republican column where she naturally belongs. To this end every faction and every element, whatever the differences prior to the. state convention and the meeting of the state central com mittee, must line up. recognizing that suecess can only be secured in November by a united and' harmonious party, and that personal differences must not be permitted to defeat the state or national ticket. This is the sentiment of the Cap ital today and will be until the polls close in November." CHINESEJJRISIS. Report That Russia Is About to Land Troops. Twenty Thousand In Readiness at Port Arthur.

Continues to Cut Salaries and to Lop Off Heads at Havana. Havana, May 29. General Wood re ceived today a report from the auditors w ho have been investigating the treas ury and the customs departments. The auditors say thit they have not ilnished their work, but believe that everything so far as they have gone Is satisfactory. At all events, the method of keeping the books is perfect and does not pre sent any difficulty to the examiner. The auditors are not Havana employes, but have been brought especially from the United States because of their record as experts. Although the investiga- ion hr.s not been completed, much grat fication is felt by the officials at the provisional report. Tt is believed that scandal does not touch any other branch of the service than the postal. The postal department investigation s proceeding. Reeves, as soon as ids services are no longer required, will be removed to jail or placed under bail. This may take place almost immediately. Acting Director General Bristow is still endeavoring to reduce expenses in the postal department. Today he is sued an order cutting down salaries in the Havana local office, the pay of tne postmaster being reduced from $4,500 to $3,600, that of his assistant from $2.0' .'-0 to $1,800, and that of ten other employes by amounts ranging Irom $200 to $400. Mr. Bristow says he is fixing the sal aries at figures slightly above those paid In the United States because of tne ab normal conditions existing here. Seven clerksnips nave also Dec-n abol ished, making a reduction of another Jtj.f.00. In the order Mr. Bristow says that additional reductions can be made in the local office w ithout detriment.

The report of the committee on Episcopacy was under discussion at last night's session of the Methodist conference. The report was adopted in its entirety after Omaha had been substituted as an Episcopal resi dence in place of Topeka, the location originally recommended for Bishop Mc Cabe. The Methodists of Topeka bought the bishop's residence at Fifth and Topeka avenues nine years ago at a cost of $10,000 and since then Topeka has been the home and headquarters of a bishop, Tne first to be stationed here was Bishop Ninde, who now goes to Detroit. Follow ing him came Bishop incent who now goes to Switzerland. Bishop McCabe has been stationed at Ft.Wortl but has lived at Evanston, 111. The To peka residence will be used as the par sonage of the minister of the First Methodist church if no bishop is sent here. P. I. Bonebrake. one of the leadin members in the First Methodist church said: "This is news to me, although rumor to that effect was current las night. There has long been a rivah between Topeka and Omaha for th bishop's headquarters and we have ap parent iy lost this time. When asked whether he thought Bish op McCabe was instrumental in setur ing the change, Mr. Bonebrake said: do not believe he was. He probabl would rather not live at either place he has a fine home at North Evanston near Chicago. During the time Bishop McCabe was stationed at Fort Worth that was his heme in name Only." Mr. Bonebrake says an sffort. will b made to have the question reconsidered London, May 29. A special dispatch from Shanghai says: It Is believed that Russia is about to land troops at Taku from Port Arthur, where 20,000 are in readiness. The Chi- nese are reported to be sending large masses of troops overland from IIu Nan and Kiang but the general refuses to assume command on the plea of sick ness. "The 'Boxers' assert that they are confident of receiving support from the Dowager Empress, Princes Kang Yi and Ching Tuan, and the entire Man churia army. Throughout north the 'Boxers' are enlisting hordes of desper adoes. They are intent upon expelling everything foreign." Shanghai, May 29. The Russian min ister at Pekin has telegraphed asking that all available gunboats be sent to Taku. New York, May 29. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Should the "boxer" movement in China threaten American missionaries and American interests adequate measures will be taken to provide them with pro tection. Hear Admiral Kempff, commanding the senior squadron of the Asiatic fleet which, according to an order just issued, will "comprise all vessels north of Hong Kong," arrived at Taku Mon day on board the cruiser Newark. He will at once communicate with United States Minister Conger and arrange with him to take such precautions as may seem advisable. Admiral Kempff may send a marine guard to Pekin. The authorities are in a very awkward position with respect to landing troops in China. It is not desired to take such action, for one reason because Americans are distributed at widely separated points, and for another rea son bect use the entrance of the Ameri cans would be followed by similar ac tion on the part of the powers of Europe. It was reported today that Minister Wu had called at the state department to confer with the officials relative to the "boxer" movement. This is un true. Minister Wu states that he has not been advised how serious the move ment is, but he is inclined to believe that it is exaggerated. In uiscussmg the "boxer movement, the Rev. Isaac Taylor Headland, pro fessor in the University of Pekin, who left Pekin on March 7, and is now in New York, takes a somewhat peculiar lew of its origin. He.said: "The French Catholic priests are the cause of the trouble. The French minister in China had the Catholic priests made Chinese officials of defined rank, whose business s to decide cases of litigation be tween Chinese Christians and outside hinese. When a Catholic priest enters Chinese court, if he outranks the Chi nese official he decides the matter. If e under ranks him the influence of his official rank amounts to about the same thing. It is apparent to the authorities that Russia does not propose to be behind hand in any move looking to the dis memberment of the empire and it would not be surprising if some day the world should wake up to find that Russia had uietly annexed northern China. Such action would probably be precipitated by the landing of foreign troops, which would be made the excuse for it. Tt is known that Russia did not join with the other powers of Europe in making representations to the Pekin government with respect to the "boxer movement, basing her refusal upon the fact she is an Asiatic power. The natural result of her refusal has been to increase her influence at Pekin. 'The Chinese charge that the priests procure decisions in favor of the French Catholics tnrough their influence, irre spective of the merits of the case. This has been going on for a long time, and the irritation caused by it has resulted at last in the Chinese forming the soci eties called the "boxers." This in Chi nese is I-ho-Tuon, the I meaning right eousness, the ho standing for peace, and the Tuon meaning fist," which the professor illustrated with clinched hand. KEEP PLAGUE OUT. Colorado Authorities Take Steps to Exclude Chinese and Japanese. Denver, Colo., May 29. The state board of health has decided to quar antine against the entrance of Chinese and Japanese into Colorado. Until fur ther notice is given no Chinaman or Japanese may enter the state without a certificate signed by the health offi cers from the city whence he comes, stating that he has not been exposed to bubonic plague during the six weeks immediately preceding the date of his application. JIMMIE SMITH ARRIVES. American Messenger Boy Will Ride in President Kruger's Special Train. Durban, May 29. James Smith, the American district messenger boy, who is carrying a message of sympathy from Philadelphia and New York school boys to President Kruger, has arrived at Lorenzo Marques, and President Kruger has sent his private car to con vey him to Pretoria. The French liner Corronde arrived here today with many Transvaal refu gees. ENGLAND ON INDIAN FAMINE Won't Give So Long as Other Coun tries May Be Worked. London, May 29. J. MacKenzie, Con servative member for Cardiff, on the motion to adjourn for Whitsuntide, called attention to the India famine, which he said the Indian government seemed unable to cope with. Lord George Hamilton, secretary of state of India, replying reminded tne house that he had already announced that assistance would be given, if nec essary, from the British exchequer. At present, however, there was no lack of funds, and in his opinion an appeal to the British exchequer now would only dry up the springs of private charitable contributions. lion tamer" entered his "ante-room," a small cage adjoining the den of the beast, the lioness commenced to roar, and the manager and several assistants took places along the front of the cage with iron bars and drawn revolvers. "I never took much pleasure in being around -wild animals," said Governor Stanley, after the long haired individ ual had made several apparently bona fide attempts to enter the cage and the lioness was seemingly working herself into a genuine fury. "Do you suppose that's a bluff?" ask ed Mayor Drew, always conservative. "Gentlemen. I believe sir, that's the genuine article," said Gen.Hughes. "The dumed brute's mad, I tell you." "It's getting rather late. Hadn't we better be moving on," put in Council man Elliott. Just then "England's greatest lion ta mer" threw open the door and jumped in the cage. Instead of leaping upon him and burying her teeth in hi3 flesh, the lioness simply commenced a series of trained leaps from one side of the cage to the other. Then the "spieler" announced the performance concluded. "I believe that was all a bluff, said Governor Stanley edging up to Mayor Drew on the way out. "Yes, I'm of the opinion that it was asked," replied the head of the city gov ernment as he thoughtfully stroked his beard. From the animal show the party en tered tne streets bf Cairo. The per formance started off in a way wiiich might be designated as "tame." and headed by Councilman Elliott the guests of the Midway -soon left. However, City Attorney Bird said the character of the erftertamment had nothing to do with the speedy departure. The "flying, lady" next came in for the attention of the party. Gen. Hughes pronounced her a peach and Council man Chaney declared she had lovely eyes. Councilman Snattinger vowed i was one of the most mystifying per formances he had ever witnessed and Governor Stanley admitted that it was one of the few things he couldn't explain. The last attraction visited by the par ty in its entirety was the moving pic ture tent. The last picture shown is called "Sapho, Up to Date" and shows a bedroom scene totally unlike the much talked of bedroom scene of "The Turtle." In the latter, the young lady discreetly retires behind a screen to re move her attire. In "Sapho Up to Date' she doesn't. n hen the party emerged from the tent Governor Stanley and Mayor Drew announced at once and simultaneously tnat tney meant to go home. Council man Snattinger followed their lead. City Attorney Bird and Councilman Mergan also announced that they would return to their families, but they didn't. Short afterward they were discovered coming out of one of the Oriental thea ters together. Councilmen Chaney. Elliott. Hushes ana JMyers and City Clerk Sauires bold ly proclaimed that they intended to see everything to be seen on the Midway j.ney accompnsned their intention ad mirably. Today they are able to reveal ail the mysteries of the temples and other things of the northern portion of Topeka's street fair. However, ability and willingness are two different things. AlliJVVAi: OPENS. The midway opened last night in a blaze of glory and amid the blare of trumpets, the beat of drums and tom toms and the "lectures" of the spielers. There are 14 shows on the midway and when the "free exhibitions given on the outside of the large tent" were all going at once the deaf threw away their ear trumpets and smiled large smiles of satisfaction. In front of the wild animal show Madam Pauline ex hibited the six weeks' old lion cub named Baby Vera. The mechanical organ turned out the popular airs of the day, a man with a bass drum and cymbals pounded away like a butcher hammering steak and the show started. It is one of the best shows in the mid way. There are cages of lions, tigers, bears, wolves, hyenas, leopards and the boxing kangaroo. The audience petted Baby Vera as if it were an overgrown cat instead of a small lion. The Kanga roo hopped around and the lions batted their eyes at the visitors and went through their acts with their trainers. The Streets of Cairo attracted large crowds. The free exhibition showed the dancing girls, the sword fighters and the musicians. The tom-toms and the drums gave forth that weird music which belongs only to the midway. Easau, the snake eater, remained in his den of reptiles and the people who looked at him did not envy him at all. The ossified man said not a word when the people stared at him. Lunette, the flying lady and the moving pictures at tracted large crowds. The old planta tion negroes gave cake walks on the open platform. ihe following Is the nrogramme for today at the street fair: German dav. Commercial Club day, Atchison day.

The exhibits which were not com plete and which were not given in the ist yesterday are as follows: The Star grocery, a neatly decorated booth where canned fruits, and meats are displayed. Luken Bros, booth Is filled with car riages, whips, lap-robes and all that goes with horses. The Sharpies cream separator is ex hibited by Peter Heil, and the mechan ical process of taking the cream from tne milk is demonstrated. FIRST DAY. 3.700. The first day of the street fair was even better in point of attendance than the Commercial club expected. There were over 3,700 paid admissions at the main gate, which with, exhibitors passes would make the crowd number about 4,500, a good number for the first oay. Many out of town DeoDle are already here and ichita, Concordia, Emporia, Lawrence and other towns are prepar ing to send delegation If the crowds increase as the fair goes on the Com mercial club will undoubtedly have a neat sum to use toward the purchase of the fcanta Fe shop grounds. STREET FAIR WEDDING. City Clerk Squires announced today that there would be a public marriage on the street fair grounds Thursday af ternoon. The name of the couple will be announced tomorrow. Probate Judge Dolman will furnish the license free and perform the cere mony free. The different merchants who have displays at the fair will fur nish the wedding presents. The mar riage will be held on one of the plat forms. Marshall's band will play the wedding march, and the presents will then be given. Several applications have been made and the street fair management will choose the lucky couple. TWO-HEADED WOMAN. Christine Millie, who enjoys the doubtful distinction of having two heads, draws large crowds at the street fair. Her tent is crowded nearly ail the time, and she is truly one of the wonders of the age. STRIKE POPULAR FANCY. The Kimball Piano company struck the popular fancy with the little cir cular cards they are giving away at their booth. These cards have catchy phrases printed on them, and are made to tie in the buttonhole. Every other person you meet on the street is wear ing one. Over 3,000 of them were given away at the Kimball booth yesterday. AN ELECTRICAL FOUNTAIN. Perhaps the most attractive display on the grounds was the electrical foun tain in the center of Crosby Bros.' booth. This is an appearance as orien tal arch about thirty feet in height, hol lowed out in the center and banked with palms. In the center of this is seen the electrical fountain, which throws a stream of water twenty-five feet in the air. Around the center stream are seven separate and distinct nozzles, which can be used together or in any combination of numbers. L'nder all this and buried in the plants are six vari-colored, incandescent lights, rep resenting in all 125 candle power. These colors are constantly changing and with water passing over the lights it makes a very pretty and attractive display. H. B. Howard, the machinist, is the designer and builder of the fountain. Claude Leaman did the electric wiring. Kansas City Produce Market. Kansas City. Mo.. May 29. WHEAT July. 6010; September, 6t,4''ic.

Complicated Tangle About How They Should Be Credited. "U'ashlnpton, May 23. A question has arisen in the office of the war depart ment as to whether he has authority to voh;l me accounts, oi i.ne oisi'iirse men t s under the act of March 24, llteo, appro priating $2.il..-,.4.-,.-. for the government and people of Porto Kieo or whether Ihes- accounts should be passed upon by the auditor for the state department on the theory that they relate to terri torial governments. The question arose on a requisition by the- pecretarv of war for $C,o.t.'H.o out of this appropriation to Ko to the credit of Governor Allen at t"an Juan. The auditor for the war department held that the Jurisdiction of the auditor of the state department attaches to these accounts and that the money ap propriated by the act of March 24 aj-e necessarily public funds of Porto Rico that the treasurer of the IJand is charged with their disbursemei Comp troller Tracewell take a contrary view and says tnat it depends entirely upon the action of the president who misrht assign- a portion of the appropriation to Uie wax department and a portion to 000O0KO00O0OO00XK500 Avenue. XXKXKX0000KKK0K000 some other department, in which case the accounts should be passed upon by ttie auditors for these respective depart ments. Or he might place a portion of the money in the hands of the treasurer of Porto Kieo, in which case the ac counts should be examined by the audi tor for the island. If the president, he says, intended the $lu0,00o to be allotted to the war depart ment, it is a serious question whether it was properly advanced to Governor Allen, there being no evidence that he had been designated as a special dis bursing agent, and had furnished a bond as required by section 3614 of the revised statutes. If this advance was intended as an allotment to Porto Rico, it would then become Porto P.ican funds and as such should have been turned over to the treasurer of the island to be disbursed by him under section 22 of the act of April 12, ltfOO.

As Is often the case, this pronounced In novation in dress is taken from the stage. Whether the Idea of muslin roses with muslin frocks will prove popular remains to be seen. In this particular Instance the single long stemmed American Beauty which unites the ends of the gracefully knotted fichu will argue eloquently against any prospective protest. The gown Itself wins praise. It is an ail over embroidered batiste with wheel insertions of Irish lace. Four rows of insertion follow close one upon the other about the foot of the skirt, which Is cut with a tremendously flaring flounce. The dress is mounted on pink silk. The bodice is cut low, displaying also another feature of future fashions. Just After the Crowd Surged in Behind the Midway. Closing music by the Reform school band.

Explains Treatment of Boer Envoys by Government. New York, May 29. The American V correspondent for Bes Nouvelles of FI'a.riB, has cabled his paper interviews "with prominent Kepublicans and Dem ocrats in the United States on the sub led of the relations between this coun try and the Boer envoys. They will be published as well in Be Temps, Be Jour nal. Bo Matin and many other newspa 3ers. They -will say that Senator Depew has he following views: The Boer envoys, Fischer, Wessels and Wolmarans, committed an act of impropriety by not presenting their credentials first to the president, or in H is stead, to the secretary of state, be J'ore addressing themselves to the peo ple. They became from the moment of netting foot on American soil, willing r involuntary tools In the hands of Tammany, which tries to exploit this Boer question for the advantage of the Democratic party against the adminis tration in the coming electoral cam paign. The senate could not admit the Boer envoys to the floor for the simple reason that in doing so it would com m:t an act tantamount to a breach of r-trict neutrality which the United states government and the people de file to strictly adhere to. It is a post five fact that President McKinley and his secretary of state. Colonel Hay, Have the approval of the people of the United States in their refusal to go any 1'urthcr than they have done in favor of the Boers. They went even beyond the limit set by The Htigue convention ttnd none of the other powers, like Rus sia, France and Germany have done as much. "There is no doubt as to the universal sidmiration the courageous valor of the Boers has elicited by their bravery in this fight against tremendous odds, be ing so largely outnumbered by the Eng lish, but the United States government Is bound by international obligations and can not permit foreigners to come iiere and bring by public meeting and Jnliammatory speeches a pressure upon the decisions of the I'nited States gov ernment. The Boer envoys will enjoy he privileges of going before the people md pleading their cause in public aueetings but they must not forget the late of the Frenchman, Genet." Representative Sulzer is quoted as rfollows: "The refusal of theUnited States gov ernment to intervene to establish peace will form a black spot in the history jf the United States. Never since the formation of this great government has any of the administrations before this 'lu' ever behaved so shamefully. The American people, inspired by lofty prin ciples and generous sentiments.consider liberty and independence the most prec ious treasures mankind possesses. The actual administration acted from very low motives in abandoning the Boer cause the sacred cause of justice and humanity for the sole purpose of an tagonizing the Democratic party, which 1 represent. To stand by and permit the valorous little Boer people to be crushed by rapacious brutes like the Knslish is the most cowardly act of our age." OVERHAULING U. S. SHIPS.

Xew York, May 29. A special to the Herald from Montreal says: The Dominion government secret service has discovered that Carl Dullmaji, J. No lin and John Walsh, convicted of trying to destroy the Welland canal, came to Canada for the express purpose of wreak ing vengeance on the colony for having sent troops to South Africa: that they threw up positions in Dublin to do so and at least two of them were provided with funds by the Clan-N'a-Gal, which ob tained the money through Maud tlonne. As a result of their investigations the government agents say: "The explosion was designed as a re prisal against Canada for having sent troops to South Africa. "1 he plot was conceived, instigated and carried through bv orders of the execu tive officials of the Clan-Na-Gael. "It was set on foot at the very moment last autumn when all Canada was ring ing with enthusiasm over the mobiliza tion of first contingent sent by the Do minion to participate in a war of the em pire. "The emissaries of the Clan-Na-Gael were dispatched from Ireland to America almost simultaneously with the departure of the Sardinian from Quebec. "The cost of passage of these emissaries of the Clan-Na-Gael was defrayed by a subscription organized by Miss Maud Gonne ,a young woman who has been designated "the Irish Joan of Arc," and who has made several visits to the United States in the Interests of the 'physical force' section of the Irish extremists. "Their tickets were purchased by Fred J. Allan, who is said to be the recognized head of the Clan-Na-Gael in Dublin and who has within the last four months been appointed private secretary to the present Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alderman Pile. "From the time of their landing in America to their arrival in Canada, a few days previous to the explosion and possibly since Walsh and Nolin, at least, were in constant communication with the executive of the Clan-Na-Gael and In re ceipt of money from that body." The agents do not say that Maud Gonne knew the Welland canal was to be blown up. PORTO RICO CRIES OUT Begs U. S. Government to Re duce Tariff on Rice. Washington, May 29. The. secretary of state has sent to congress the reso lutions of the chamber of commerce at San Juan, Porto Rico, asking congress to reduce the tariff on rice from $2 per hundredweight to 50 cents per hundred weight until January 1, 1902, and the duty on olive oil from 50 cents to 10 cents per gallon until the same date. The address bears the following en dorsement: "Government house. Respectfully re fered to the secretary of state. Mr. Crcsas, the president of the chamber of commerce, is a gentleman of stand ing and position in the island. He rep resents the matter herein referred to as being very unjust, especially in view of the fact that the entire rice product of the United States, even if it were all available, would not be equal to above 50 per cent, of the wants of the island. Immediate action is requested. (Signed) CHARLES H. ALLEN, "Governor." CLEVELAND AT HOME. Arrives From Bermuda on the Bene dict Yacht New York, May 29.
