8 r' Candidate of the Christian Party For President morning. The program calls for the nomination of a ticket, the adoption of a platform and the selection of fifty eight delegates to the national conven tion. Colorado, Wyoming and Utah dele gates will reach, the city early tomorrow morning. Indiana, 300 strong, will have a spe cial over tire Big Four, arriving to morrow afternoon. They will stop at the auditorium. Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, ar.d Wisconsin will have a special train over the SL Paul road, reaching here tomorrow night. Their headquarters will be at the Welling ton. The Nebraska delegation will also be at that house. The New England delegation will come on a special over the Michigan Central. It will stop at the Iceland. The Sherman is designated as head quarters for Maryland. The Victoria will have West Virginia and Michigan, iir..i the Tremont Kansas. Most of the Illinois people will stop at the Palmer house. The foilowing delegations will stop at tne Lexington: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ken tucky, -Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, Wy oniimj, T'tah and New Jersey. The national meeting will be called to order at in o'clock Wednesday morning by Oliver W. Stewart, chairman, of the national committee. John G. Wioley and Hale Johnson, both of Illinois, are strong favorites for the presidential nomination. Hun dreds of large campaign buttons, hav ing upon th'-m a picture of the former, are being distributed. It is thotrght that in the early ballot ing for nominations the Illinois dele- Kates will be divided between Wooley and Johnson, with the understanding that the solid vote later will be thrown to the support of the candidate showing the more strength. The disposition nmong Illinois delegates Is to work for the nomination of some western man and they feel that either of the candi dates from this'state tills the require pients. Those w ho claim to be well acquaint ed with the situation say Mr. Wooley will get the support of the New Eng land states. Michigan, Ohio. Wisconsin, Kansas and Tennessee, while Mr. John eon will look for his strength from Min nesota. North and South Dakota. Mon tana, North Carolina, Virginia and Ar kansas. Rev. Dr. S. C. Swallow of Harris bur'g. Pa., will come before the conven tion with a strong following, and it is believed that he will lead on the first ballot with fairly good chances of suc cess. Delegates from his own state and from New Jersey, Maryland, Ken tucky, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Ne braska will support his candidacy. The selection of a vice presidential nominee will depend largely upon what section of the country the presidential choice comes from. Among the candidates are: Judge El liott, of California: Isaac Funk, of New York; T. K. Carskadon. of West Vir ginia, Henrv P.. Metcalf, of Rhode Isl and: Walter B. Hill, of Georgia: F. T. McWhirter and Rev. Fv L. Eaton, of Des Moines. Sentiment among the delegates to the Prohibition national convention who ar rived here today apparently favored the nomination for president of John (5. Wooley, of Chicago. The fight this year, it was stated, would be made on a Btraight Prohibition platform, even per haps to the exclusion of all other ra tional questions. Mr. Wooley is the chief advocate of this plan of campaign and would not care to be nominated on a broader platform, taking in the tariff, expansion, money and other planks. For this reason according to Chairman Stewart of the national committee and other Prohibition leaders, he is consid ered the most logical candidate for the presidency. Hale Johnson, of Newton, 111., and Dr. S. C. Swallow, of Pennsyl vania, have many friends however,- and a brisk contest is expected before a nomination is made. The nomination for the vice presiden cy probably will be governed to a great extent by the result of the balloting for the presidency. Should a western can didate for the presidency be selected, the vice presidential nomination, it is stated will probably bo to an eastern man. W. W. Smith of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., being the most prominently men tioned in that connection. If an eastern man i3 nominated, Dr. E. L. Eaton, of Des Moines, or Professor F. T. McWhir ter, of Indianapolis, who is also spoken of for permanent chairman of the con vention may be nominated for vice president. Neither the temporary nor permanent chairman of the convention has yet been decided on. The national committee will meet tomorrow night to hear the report of the national treasurer, Oliver Stew art concerning the work of the past six months and at the same time the tem porary chairman will be named. The i more important candidates are Major Elliott, of Stockton, CaL.and A. G. Wol enbarger, of Lincoln, Neb. The report of the treasurer, it is sta ted, will show a larger balance in the treasury than at any previous meeting of the national committee and the party will enter the campaign better equipped financially to make a fight for their principles than ever before. For perma nent chairman, Prof. McWhirter and Samuel Dick of Michigan, seem to be most favored, but this question will not SWALLOW, be decided on until after the convention has been called to order. National Chairman Stewart said to day that the platform this year would have little to say on any question other than that of the liquor traffic. "The platform," said Mr. Stewart, "is not go ing to make any declaration on the tar iff, on money or on expansion, except perhaps to point out that the prohibition question Is greater than all of these. There may, however, be a woman suf frage plank. An initiative and referen dum plank may also be proposed but it is doubtful if it will be inserted." REBELLION CRUSHED. Gen. Warren Wires That It Is All Over in His District. London, June 25.-3:22 p. m. General Warren wires that the rebellion has been extinguished in the north of Cape Colony, but he does not mention the capture or dispersal of the considerable Boer force which has been occupying that part of the country. Interest mostly centers in the Orange River colony where General Dewet is causing the British much annoyance. 3111. LOW INTERVIEWED. "Silent Man of Kansas" Talks to a Re porter at Washington. Mr. M. A. Low, who Is regarded as the "silent man of Kansas" in an inter view in Washington is credited with the following statement: "The nomination of Governor Roose velt for second place on the national ticket will gain 10,000 votes for us in Kansas," said M. A. Low, of Topeka, at the Normandie. "The Kansas regiment in the Philip pines was the crack regiment of all,' added Mr. Low, "and its members have come back home and settled down in various part of the state. These ex soldiers not only feel an interest, but thev have a pr ide in the rough riders. and their admiration for Governor Roosevelt is abundant. The influence of this will be felt all over the state. Gov ernor Roosevelt is going to Oklahoma Territnrv earlv in July, and we snail strive to have him make some speeches in Kansas on the way there. "If indications are to be trusted.Kan- sas certainly ought to be a Republican state this fall. The corn crop will total 100.000,000 bushels, the largest in our his tory; there is prosperity everywhere, and the party is united. The only place where the Republicans have been un able to settle their differences is in the Third congressional district, now repre sented by E. R. Riclgely. a Populist. The Democrats have a candidate there this year. We hope that the Republi can factions will get together in. that district before long. If they do, there is a chance of the Republicans making a clean sweep in Kansas. Breidenthal Gets Cloud. The Cloud county Populists in conven tion at Concordia have instructed for John Breidenthal for governor, the del egates so instructed having been select ed at a convention held in Concordia. The delegates to the judicial district convention were instructed for Hugh Alexander, a Concor"dia Democrat, for district judge- rush orrRoops. Powers Are Concertedly Hurry ing Forward Reinforcements For the International Army So Hard Pressed in China. A FORCE FROM INDIA Is Being Dispatched by the British Government. The Czar Orders an Increase of the Siberian Army. Admiral Remey Has Been Or dered to Taku. London, June 252:19 p. m. Although the powers at last seem conscious of the magnitude of the Chinese peril and are concertedly hurrying forces to Ta ku, the international troops available to overcome the immediate perils of the situation are apparently totally inad equate. The alarm not only for the safety of Vice Admiral Seymour and his party, who are not mentioned in any of the 'dispatches purporting to come from Pekin, but for his base at Tien Tsin, remains unrelieved. Almost the only ray of light is the report of Sheng, the director of railways and telegraph forwarded by the French consul general at Shanghai to the effect that the lega tions were safe June -19, and prepar ing to leave the capital with the eon sent of the Chinese government. But the motives of the Chinese officials in keeping the powers appeased by reas suring messages is too obvious to al low the unreserved acceptance of the statements. Tien Tsin is so hard pressed that it must be relieved before assistance can be sent to Seymour's forces. The ab sence of the exact dates of the last dispatch from Taku, and other mes sages, makes it difficult to connect the various stories, but some of the dis patches might be read as indicating that even the large force mentioned by Rear Admiral Kempff as about to start toward Tien Tsin has met' the same fate as the colonial American and Russian column which was re pulsed June 21. India is sending eight battalions of in fantry, a cavalry regiment, artillery and engineers as a fighting force, be sieds two battalions to guard commun ications. The Official Gazette of St, Peters burg today contains an order of the czar as follows: "As we consider it necessary to raise the troops in the Amur military dis trict to a war footing, we direct the war minister to take the requisite meas ures. At the same time, we direct that the necessary number of reservists be longing to the Siberian Amur military district shall be called out for active service." 160 FOREIGNERS KILLED. New York, June 25. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from the Che Foo says: The" Chinese bombardment of Tien Tsin set fire to the mission buildings first, 1 he fire spread to the native city and destroyed everything. The attacking force, well supplied with modern artillery, has been pressing the small allied force hard. Already the dead number 160. Relief is being rushed from Taku, but the column w-iil have to fight its way through the big Chinese army. The British storeship Humber arrived at Che Foo bringing thirty ref- ees from Tong Shan, including Messrs. Kinder and Parsons and Mrs. Parsons. Pei Tai Ho fthe great watering place of northern China where 200 promi nent foreigners had their summer homes) has been adandoned. The governor of Shan Tung prov ince, in which Che Foo is situated, after conferring with his subordinate man darins at his capital, Tsinanfu, decided not to jom the rebels, and issued a proclamation decreeing that all Euro peans and Americans should be pro tected. Admiral Kempff held a conference at the American consulate with Consul Fowler and the captains of the Nash ville and the Yorktown, The local gov ernor of Che Foo was present and promised there should be no uprising here against the foreigners and .gave other assurances which seemed all right on the surface. The governor expressed confidence in the good will of the American govern ment toward China and said the feel ing was reciprocated. Captain Edward Bailey of the Brit Does Not Care to Wander. t f v, V V- I.- t 'V Hon. Charles Terry Saxtcn, Presiding Judge of the' State Court of Claims, of New Y'ork. despite pressure from numerous friends in Washington, Man hattan and Albany, persists in his refusal to accept the proffered appoint ment as U. S. Judge of Porto Rico. In his telegram of declination to Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of War, Judge Saxton explained that family reasons prevented his acceptance of the now honor. His honor has brilliant war and political records. ish armored cruiser at Taku signalled the American captains yesterday: "Thank God the Russians were here; otherwise we would all have been mur dered." LEGATIONS AT PEKIN SAFE. Paris, June 25 11:25 a. m. The French consular general at Shanghai, telegraphing yesterday reported that the Chinese minister of railroads and tele graphs, has informed him that all for eign ministers and foreigners at Pekin were safe, Tuesday, June 19, and were preparing to leave with the authority of the Chinese government. FRENCH REINFORCEMENTS. Paris, June 25. An official dispatch received here from Saigon, the capital of French Conchin China, says the French armored cruiser Vauban and the transport Caravarne have sailed north with 500 marines and a battery of artillery. REMEY ORDERED TO TAKU. Washington, June 25. The navy de partment gives out this bulletin: This cablegram from Admiral Kempff, dated Chee-Foo, June 24, says: "In ambuscade near Tien Tsin, on the 21st, four of Waller's command killed and seven wounded. Names will be fur nished as soon as received. Force of 2, 000 going to relieve Tien Tsin today. "KEMPFF." The secretary of the navy has ordered Admiral Remey, with the Brooklyn, to Taku to assist with the army troops which the Brooklyn can carry. FIGHTING FOB LIFE. London, June 25. 3 P. M. The admir alty has received the following dispatch from Rear Admiral Bruce, dated Taku, via Che Fu, June 24: "The total force which left Tien Tsin with the commander in chief for Pekin was about 2,000, composed of detach ments from the allied ships. No action could possibly be taken to relieve the commander in chief because it was only Known that he was cutoff by Tien Tsin being invested. 'Tien Tsin has been fighting for its life ever since. It was on receipt of the information that the Chinese army had ordered trains for attacking Tien Tsin that they were ravishiBg Tong Ku and reinforcing Taku, as well as mining the mouth of the Pei Ho that it was promptly determined to seize Taku. Since than every effort has been made to relieve Tien Tsin. I have comman- dered a small coasting steamer for tak ing troops and sick and wounded across tne bay to Wei Hai Wei, where I in tend making a temporary base hospital ana asyium ror reiugees. COMPLETELY IN THE DARK. Washington, June 25. Up to 11 o'clock this forenoon no word iiad been received at either the war or navy departments as to the condition of affairs in China. Nor has Admiral Remey been heard from and it is not known whether he has sailed on the Brooklyn for Taku or is still at Cavite. The anxiously await ed list of casualties from Admiral Kempff has not appeared nor has a word come as to the result of the second engagement at Tien Tsin. The state department also is without anything to shed light on the situation except a dispatch from United States Consul Goodnow at Shanghai, saying that nothing reliable has been received there as to the conditions of affairs at Pekin and elsewhere. This rather de tracts from the reassuring official dis patches published this morning. CARGO OF COAL FOR NAVY. Philadelphia, June 25. Under orders from the navy department a large force of men today began the work of pre paring for active service the water carrying ship Arethuse which has been in reserve at League Island since the close of the Spanish-American war. The Arethuse is to be sent to Chinese waters and officials at the League navy yard expect to have her ready within ten days. Every available part of the ship will be filled with coal as ballast and she ts expected to carry about 3,500 tons to the American warships at China. Lieutenant Gill, formerly in charge of the hydrographic office in this city, who has been on sick leave, has been ordered to proceed immediately to the Asiatic station, there to report to Rear Admiral Remey. SHORT AND DEPRESSING. New York, June 25. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The British admiralty.being enmeshed with red tape, does not give out dis patches as promptly as the navy de partment at Washington, but it has confirmed the previous accounts of the repulse of the relief column which attempted to enter Tien Tsin on Fri day. The bulletin is short and depress ing. The foreign settlement at Tien Tsin was almost entirely destroyed and the Europeans were fighting hard. There is nothing about a relief column of Russians and Americans being cut to pieces, but the repulse is described as attended with some loss. Only one run ner had entered Taku from Tien Tsin in five days, and not a word had been received from the relief columns which started for Pekin two weeks ago, nor from the legations themselves. The foreign relief force may be described as a chain consisting mainly of missing links. There is a mixed force of between 2,000 and 3.000 men at Taku, including a portion of Chinese regiment (Continued on Sixth Page.) 35 KILLED. Passenger Train Wrecked the Southern Railway. on Every Person Dead Except Those in the Pullman. BOTH FLOOD AND FIRE Share in the Awful Loss of Life. Train Was Knocked Into Kind ling Wood and Burned. Atlanta, Ga., June 25. A passenger train on the Macon branch. of the South ern railway ran into a washout one and a half miles north of McDonough, Sat urday night, and was completely wreck ed. The wreck caught fire and the en tire train, with the exception of the sleeper, was destroyed. Every person on the train except the occupants of the Pullman car perished. Not a member of the train crew escaped. Thirty-five people in all were killed. Following is a list of the dead: WM. A, BARCLAY, conductor, At lanta. J. E. WOOD, conductor, Atlanta. J. H, HUNNICUTT, conductor, At lanta. J. T. SULLIVAN, engineer. W. W. BENNETT, baggage master. Atlanta. T. E. MADDOX. cotton buyer. At lanta. W. J. PATE, Atlanta. TWELVE YEAR OLD SON of W. J.

Andy Tomlinson. -rne train left Macon at 7:10 and was aue in Atlanta at 9:45 Saturday night lvicuonougn was reached on time. At tnis point connection was made for Col umbus, Ga., and here every night the oiumDus train is coupled on and haul ed through to Atlanta. Saturday night, however, for the first time in many inonins tne uoiumDus train was report ed two hours late, on account of i washout on that branch, and the Ma eon train started on to Atlanta without its uoiumous connection. Tremendous rains, of dailv occurrence for the past two weeks, have swollen all streams in this part of the south, and several washouts have been reported on the different roads. Camp's creek, which runs into the Oc mulgee. was over its banks, and its wa ters had spread to all the lowlands through which it runs. About a mile and a half north of McDonough the creek comes somewhere near the South- tracKs and running alongside it for some distance, finally passes away unuei une ioau oy a neavy stone culvert A cloudburst broke over that section of the country about 6 o'clock Saturday night and presumably shortly after dark w-ashed out a section of the track nearly 100 feet in length. Into this the swiftly moving train plunged.The storm was still raging and all the car windows were closed. The passengers, secure as they thought, and sheltered comforta bly from the inclement weather, went to death without an instant's warning. The train consisting of a baggage car second class coach, first class coach and a Pullman sleeper, was knocked into kindling wood by the fall. The wreck caught fire a few minutes after the fall, and all the coaches were burned except the Pullman car. Every person on the train except the occupants of the Pullman car perished in the disaster. There was no escape as the heavy Pullman car weighed down the others and the few alive in the sleeper were unable to render assistance to their fellow-passengers. For a brief time there was silence Then the occupants of the Pullman car recovered from the bewilderment and after hard work managed to get out of their car and found themselves on the track in the pouring rain. The extent of the catastrophe was quickly appar ent. Flames were already seen coming from that part of the wreckage not cov ered by the water. As the wreck began to go to pieces under the destructive work of both flames and flood, human bodies floated down stream by the swift current. The storm did not abate in fury. Flashes of lightning added to the steady glow of the burning train and lit up the scene with fearful distinct ness. Flagman Quinlan, who was one of the first to get out, at once started for the nearest telegraph station. Making his way as rapidly as possible in the face of the blinding storm he stumbled into the office at McDonough and after telling the night operator of the wreck fell fainting to the floor. Word was quickly sent to both Atlanta and Macon, but no assistance was to be had except in the former city, as the interrupted track prevented the arrival of any train from Macon. Nearly the entire male population of McDonough went to the scene to ren der assistance, but little could be done by the rescuers, as the fire kept them at a distance. At daylight the bodies that had floated from the gorge were gathered up. One body was found a mile from the wreck and many were seen along its banks. A wreck train was started out from Atlanta at midnight, but owing to the burning wreckage nothing could be done until morning. A special train at 6 o'clock in the morning took doctors, ministers, railroad officials and helpers to the scene, but nothing could be done save to gather up the bodies. As the dead were found they were removed to McDonough. There are two undertakers there. Both establishments were soon full of the mangled remains of the passengers. Some of the bodies-were terribly burned, while others were crushed beyond recognition. The only means" of identi fication in the majority of the cases were letters and papers in the pockets of the victims. Only three women were on the train. Two escaped. It is presumed that the other perished, but the body has not been found. Besides the regular crew of the train, several conductors and other employes were en route to Atlanta. All were killed. Conductor W. A. Barclay was in charge of the train. A section boss with a gang of eight negroes occupied seats in the second .class coach. They were on their way to repair a washout on the Geor-gia Midland Gulf road. Not one escaped when the car went down. DEATH LIST GROWS. Atlanta, Ga., June 25. Additional re ports received here today from the scene of the wreck on the Macon branch of the Southern railway at MacDonough show that the list of dead will probably number 41. The number of the gang of section hands which was on the wreck ed train is not known. As the work of removing the wreckage proceeded, bodies of negro laborers were found un der the debris and several have been recovered along the banks of the creek. They have not been identified. The en tire gang was killed. Six bodies were brought here today to await instructions from relatives as to their disposition. The work of repairing the road bed is proceeding and traffic will be resumed probably today. DIGGING OUT THE DEAD. Atlanta, Ga., June 25. Three bodies were found this morning in the wreck age. They are: D. Y. GRIFFIN, supervisor. W. L. MORRISSETTE, superintend ent of pumps. J. H. HUN1CUTT, freight conductor. Two other bodies charred to pieces. The passengers who were saved in the Pullman car were not seriously hurt. There have been thirty bodies taken from the wreck and searAers are find ing more as the wreckage is removed. One body can be seen under a heavy stone that can not be removed until the rock is taken up. P.ain continues falling, but the rail way officials are rushing the work of clearing the wreck and building a tr'es tle. Eighteen of the bodies thus far recovered were employes of the road. Hundreds of people are visiting the wreck, among them scores trying to identify their relatives and friends among the dead. MISS MERRITTS EXPERIENCE. Macon, Ga., June 25. Miss Mamie Merritt.a teacher in the Emerson school of oratory of Boston, arrived here to day. She gave her experience in the wreck as follows: "It began to rain about the time we left Macon, and rained incessantly all the way up to McDonough. "The conductor came through where we were sitting in the rear of the sleep er, to let down a window, as the rain had began to come in. As he put it down I reached over to gather up my mackintosh which I had spread across my lap and while I was bending for ward the crash came. "Quickly looking up I saw the cbnduc tor being thrown toward the front of the car. I was on the left of the car, my friend was on the opposite side and the conductor was falling headlong over the seats on the right. That was the last I saw. Then I remembered the car plunging downward into the water. The car was turned over on the side on which I was sitting and the next I knew Miss Alden was lying across me. "The water had risen up to our waists and I noticed that Miss Alden's head was lower than mine and fearing the water would cover her I took her in my arms and lifted her up. We both were wedged in and could not move our bodies below our waists. For some time we lay helpless, and called for help, but none came. "Miss Alden had a steam pipe across her body and she was across me and I was further wedged down with a berth partition. I began to pull the debris off with my hands and when I had removed all that was loose, I took a wooden beam and pried the steam pipe from off my friend. Finally I got it loose and relieved her of its pressure. I was still wedged down by the partition. I got hold of another longer piece of wood and began to pry the partition and at last pulled myself from under it. Then I erawled out in the open space in the car where I could look out through the bro ken aperture. "I could see the embankment and the rails and the men who had gotten out of the smoking apartment standing and walking about up the embankment. I called to them but they paid no atten tion, but a negro porter heard me and came to our assistance. "By his aid I managed to pull myself out on top of the sleeper and crawl to the end next to the embankment. I then called again and. again to the men to help us up, but they only cried back to us: 'All right.' "In th meantime Mis3 Alden had gotten on to the roof of the car and af ter she had fainted and a long wait, a gentleman from Atlanta came down the embankment and tied a rope about my waist and I was drawn up the steep em bankment." WHEAT BREAKS. Close Today Was Two Cents Under Saturday's. Chicago, June 25. Under heavy liqul dation by holders and a let up in the demand for a time the price of wheat for delivery in July today broke 4 cents. July during the first two min utes of the session changed hands at prices ranging from S6c to 88V&C com pared with Saturday's close at 88c. For a time trade was quieter with sales mostly between 87 and SSe. Shortly be fore noon the ceaseless hammering be gan to show decided results. The de mand for the moment seemed almost nothing and July rapidly declined to 83. Part of the loss was regained, the close being 2 cents under Saturday's close at 86c. Flaxseed was an attraction with wheat. While of course the trade was not nearljf as large, the range of prices was far more wild. October flax which closed Saturday at $1.40, advanced to $1.75 on reports of heavy damages to the crop from the hot weather in the north west. Offerings became numerous and the market fell faster than it had pre viously advanced. October closed at $1.50. Steel Plant Resumes. Columbus, O., June 25. The big steel plant here which was shut down a week ago has resumed operations with a full force. MitENZJFS PLAN Proposes Uniform System of Grades For Kansas Wheat. Would Do Away W ith Inspection at Shipping Port. ADDITIONAL EXPENSE. Useless Formality Adds to the Cost of Grain. This Tear's Wheat Crop is of Excellent Quality. The- approach of what promises to ba the greatest wheat crop harvested in the history of the state has caused Stata Grain Inspector McKenzie to work for the establishment of a new grade for wheat. Mr. McKenzie is now working with the importers at Galveston and New Orleans in an effort to have them con sent to accept the grades made here. The seaboard dealers have heretofore declined to accept the grading of wheat established by the Kansas inspection department and all of the wheat shipped from Kansas for foreign markets has! been subjected to a regrading at tha port of shipment. This second inspection has made an additional expense and there has been a suspicion in the minds of some of tha shippers that the quality of the wheat was not questioned but that the inspec tion rule has been a ruse to make wages for inspectors who otherwise would ba deprived of their means of subsistence. If Mr. Mckenzie s scheme wonts tne wheat consigned to southern ports for export will probably go via Kansas City where the inspection will be nrst ana final. Incidentally this plan would bene fit Kansas City as a shipping point. Several of the importers from the south have been in conference with Mr. McKenzie in Kansas City but no agree ment has been reached and McKenzie is planning a trip to New Orleans for a conference with the southern import ers. The Kansas grain department is now at Kansas City, inspecting an average of half dozen cars of new grain daily, the wheat, as Mr. McKenzie says: "Is Che finest that ever went upon the local markets."

Columbus, O., June 25. H. L, Chap man, one of Ohio's big four to the Kan sas City convention, is of the opinion that imperialism will be one of the chief issues in the coming campaign, in discussing the probable issues with Andrew Carnegie recently Mr. Chapman says Carnegie told him that he had helped to raise a big fund to elect Mc Kinley in 1S96, but he would raise one twice as large to elect Bryan in 1900. Carnegie's views on the money question do not coincide with Mr. Bryan's, but Carnegie holds this question to be sec ondary to the issue of imperialism and, believes that with the present tendency toward a monarchical form of govern ment all issues should be subservient to militarism and imperialism. WOKE UP THE SULTAN. Lloyd Griscom Has Presented a Peremptory Note. Constantinople, June 25. Lloyd C Griscom, United States charge d'affaires, has presented a fresh note to the Otto man government insisting upon an imme diate reply to the demand of the United. States for settlement of the Indemnity ir connection with the losses of Americans at the time of the Armenian massacres. Although vigorously phrased, the note ia not an ultimatum. It is said, however, to have been a disagreeable surprise to tha porte, testifying as it does to the inten tion of the United States government to pursue this matter of indemnity to tha end.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING JUNE, 25, 1900. SPORTIIHMIEWS. Sharkey and Ruhlin to Fight Tuesday Sight. Interesting Battle Between the Men Anticipated. JJOUT AT C03EY ISLAND Akron Giant Can Show His Im provement. Rettins Ring Generally Favors Sailor Tom. New York, June 25. The old prize fight arena at Coney Island will be the ucene of a battle Tuesday night that for strength exhibited and hard knocks tiven and received bids fair to rival tiny fight of recent years. At that time Tom Sharkey and Gus Ruhlin will pit against each other their muscle, skill and stamina. After a siege of training lasting near ly three months Ruhlin's ambition is about to be gratified. Next to a fight with Champion Jeffries the one thing must desired by the giant from Ohio is a fight with Sharkey and upon the result of this meeting defends to a great extent Ruhlin's chance to be the hnavyueipht champion. Ldsappolnted in his match, with Fltz eimmuns he took a chance of being overtrained in order to meet the sailor. lle wanted to wipe out the defeat ad ministered in the same ring two years 8?ii when at the first clash and with a sinrrie punch he was sent unconscious to the lioor. Now Kuhlin's opportun ity has come. Trained to a pitch where every nerve and muscle is In condition, he will enter the ring to fight as he never did before, for if he loses, and r.o one knows it better than himself, he must begin his ring career all over again. To Sharkey the winning or losing of this battle does not mean so much. Victory or defeat will not affect his (landing as a championship possibility. Ills place in the pugilistic world will be the same, whatever happens. He will lie richer or poorer, that Is all. This lizht merely means dollars to the sailor Imt he will battle on that night as if Jils lifes blood depended on a knock out blow. He will forget the money in the hett of action. His natural love of a conliict will put more visor in his attacks than any prize any club could offer, and he would fight in the same fierce way if the contest were In the street or on the deck of a man-of-war nd for fun instead of money in a roped arena. To 'ay he Is credited with being the gieaitst, toughest and gamest fighter lor Ms size in the world. His last bat tle w tn Corbet t moved him u;-a few notches. He climbed a bit when he de feat 1 McCoy, and he came within reaching distance of the top rung' of the linguistic ladder in his light with Jef fries last November. Ui.for'unately fof him, he fell into the hands of schemers on the coast. 1 my roped the harvest while he t'houklered the blame. He was easily 1"J. TIe was Fhown where thousands of dollats could be made bv following tneir sumcu, and that advice was: '"When you get Into the ring do any thing and everything to win." He cid So. The habit grew strong on him. He v. as after the dollars and he got them and has them yet. With a big bank ac count to his credit there is no more need of his getting mixed up in hippo ilromes. Hut to the coming fight. Sharkey de feated Ruhlin in the first round at their last meeting: therefore he ought to de feat him again. Still it does not neces eaiily follow. Ruhlin, since that fight, has improved in science fully 50 net cert. Sharkey has also added to Lis fistic knowledge. Probably not as much as Gus. because he is a different kind of a fiv liter. He has a style of his own- a style which cannot be improved upon by the teachings of others. He is a swinger pure ai.d simple. His straight delivery Is poor. Time and practice would not improve him to any extent. Further more, if he were taught to hit straight he would be unable to utilize that art successfully against tall men on ac count of short reach. Then again, he has lieen so accustomed to swinging he would lie up in the air if he changed his st vie. Figuring along those lines he will have to go at Ruhlin as he did before, and that is to slash away with both left and right. That's his long suit. And a suit long and strong enough to win from most anybody. M'GOVERN "WON OUT. Bested Dixon in a Six Round Bout at Chicago Saturday Night. Tattersnll's. Chicago. June 25. Terry Mednvern Saturday night at Tattersall's upheld his reputation as king of all featherweights by defeating George Dix on, the ex-chnmplon. in six rounds.

New York, June 25. J. T. Fisher of Chicago captured the half-mile open at the races held by the Kings County Wheelmen at Manhattan Beach Sat urday afternoon in one of the most brilliant sprints ever witnessed in a bi cycle rase. Major Taylor, the colored cyclone, made his first appearance this season in competition among the N. C. A. pro fessionals, and, although he did not win, he showed he was a factor in the championship race. Katon and Taylor closed out Cooper and Freeman in their heat of the half mile. Stevens and Kramer were numbered among the also rans by Fisher and Coleman, while Newhouse was shut out in a close finish by Kiser and McFarland. Bob Miller was put in to pace the final. As the pacemaker dropped at the quarter pole, Eaton came up from the rear, with' Fisher hanging close to his rear wheel. Taylor sifted back in the bunch, but in the stretch took advantage of an open ing and came fast, but lacked a small margin when the tape was crossed. Fisher winning out in a brilliant sprint around the field, with Eaton second. TURNERS IN PHILADELPHIA. Members to the Number of 5,000 Take Part in the March. Philadelphia, Fa., June 25. Five thousand Turners participated in the street parade of the North American Turnerbund Saturday. The parade end ed at the baseball park, where the great interest of the spectators centered in the Pentathlon, or contest, of five events. The events were the hop, step and Jump; throwing the spar, 100-yard dash; putting the shot, and wrestling. From the spectacular point of view the mass wand exercises, in which 200 of the active members participated, was the event of the afternoon. The partici pants covered the entire field to the bi cycle track, and they went through the long and elaborate drill with the polish ed iron wands with machine-like pre cision. In the swimming contests the final heat of the 100-yard race was won by John T. Taylor, Central Turn Verein, Pittsburg; Iirnhard Koehler, South Bend, Ind., second. Time, 1:17 4-5. Tay lor also won the five-mile race in 18:56 2-5. E. E. Kraus of this city was second. GIBSON DEFEATED. Heavy Favorite in the American Ran Third at Chicago. Chicago, June 25. Sidney Lucas, almost neglected in the betting at odds of 20 to 1, won the thirteenth American Derby Sat urday afternoon. Six lengths behind him was the eastern colt, James, and still further back struggling to no avail, was the vaunted public choice, the even money favorite. Lieutenant Gibson. Barrack, Advance and Sam Phillips in order brought up the procession, which carried little joy to the 30,000 spectators who saw the great classic decided. Preacher Makes a Golf Record. Indianapolis, Ind., June 25. The Rev. J. Cumming Smith, pastor of theTaber nacle Presbyterian church, who is one of the most constant players of golf at the Country club, in a match play with the Rev. Joseph A. Milburn, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, has broken the local record. He made the course of nine holes in forty-two strokes. Mr. Smith has played in Can ada and on the Babiington links in Cal ifornia, and plays a most careful and scientific game. There are many who consider him the best golfer in the club. He plays almost exclusively with Mr. Milburn and the two reverend golfers are nearly evenly matched. Pittsburg Phil Going Abroad. New York, June 25. George E. Smith ("Pittsburg Phil") will go to Europe early next month, and will remain abroad a couple of months. He has been singularly unfortunate at the Brighton Beach and Saratoga races, and having declared he will not again patronize a meeting at either of those places, will leave the country in order to keep his resolution. Wales Grateful For Victory. London, June 25 The Prince of Wales, whose horse Diamond Jubilee won the Derby recently, has given $250 to the Epsom Cottage hospital to commem orate the victory. National League Race. There has been considerable shifting of positions in the National league dur ing the past week. The convulsions however, have but slightly affected the two leaders, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, who are still ahead of the rest by a good margin. The quakers and the bridegrooms have had an internecine warfare which in the end lifted the trolley dodgers into first place. Prophets of the game have come to the conclusion that Brooklyn will stay. While the changing has been fast and furious among the rest of the six clubs they are still nearly all Inside the .400 mark, a rather remarkable showing for this time of year. Chicago, despite its fierce losing streak, has doggedly remained near the leaders in the race. This showing is the most remarkable in the history of the club, taking into consideration that It lost ten out of fourteen games on its eastern trip. Three teams Chicago, Pittsburg and Boston are now so close together that the losing or winning of a single game will put any one of the teams in second division. Right behind these come Cincinnati, St. Louis and New York. The most startling reversal of form has been attributed to St. Louis, which seems to be on the down grade for a certainty. St. Louis has been without the services of McGraw, the $15,000 beauty, and his loss seems to affect the team as a whole. Dillard has been play ed at third, but has not proved a howl ing success, and the fans now miss the faithful Cross around the third sack. Pittsburg ha3 been putting up a fair article of ball, but the quality has been nothing startling. The absence of Clark has had apparently a demoraliz ing effect. Cincinnati, the other west ern team, has conducted the game on the scrappy order and may yet finish better than last, but it is unlikely. Mercer was tried by New York, and It looked as if the giants had found a winning pitcher. Friday came the set back, when Boston hammered him out And other painful and serious ailments which so many mothers suffer, can be avoided by the use of "Mother's FrieniV This remedy is a God-send to women, because it carries them through their most critical M FRBEND of the lot. Boston is plugging along, but that is all, and Brooklyn seems to be the only team in the country playing the national game for all it is worth. Philadelphia is dying hard, and Chicago is afflicted with the Ryan Donahue feud. American League Race. Indianapolis struck several snags in the pennant race of the American league last week, and Comiskey's white stockings are coming from behind with never a let-up. The race between these two teams has been the distinctive fea ture during the week. The hoosiers had a tremendous lead, acquired early in the season, and nothing but the phenomenal ball playing of the Comiskeyites has made- the overhauling possible. The white stockings have won fourteen out of the fifteen games played, and the largest number of shut-outs recorded in the American league for one team has been credited to Chicago. Milwaukee for a short time disputed the second position with Comiskey's team, but the brewers fell by the way side as soon as they invaded the South Side, and they are having some diffi culty in keeping out of the way of Min neapolis and Cleveland. The millers have been putting up a pretty stiff ar ticle of ball while on the home grounds, and every team that has visited the stronghold of the millers has had its troubles. Reports from Minneapolis indicate that the Minnesota metropolis has done relatively better in the matter of at tendance at the games than any city in the American league, barring Chi cago. Kansas City, with its bunch of south paw twirlers, is still in hard lines, and Jimmy Manning is scouring the coun try for material to strengthen his team. He has discovered that the departure of Ganzel for Chicago made a big hole in his infield, and this he has been un able to. stop up yet. Cleveland has been buffeted around in rather haphazard fashion during the week, but persists in flirting with first division teams. Cleveland's pitchers have not been bad, but the team has been a little off in its hitting. Detroit has taken the bit in its teeth, and the tigers seem bent on making amends for past failures. Although the team .is looking from below the players have put up a snappy article of ball, and improvement may soon be a condi tion and not a theory. Buffalo has been much. -tossed about, and the bi3ons do not show much stamina when in tight places. Whether the fault is with the management or the lack of ability to play the game seems hard to decide. Saturday Baseball. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Brooklyn 12: New York 1. Philadelphia 10; Boston 4.

Indianapolis fielders made a fearful mess of it on the rough Sunday grounds, and as the Detroit team played perfectly, as well as hit the ball harrier than the visi tors, the game was easily won by the locals.

The real estate agents of this and adjoining counties are looking for a bishop, or baron. Von Rosen, a Russian who has been making flattering contracts for an alleged com pany of immigrants who were to arrive last week and pay $500,000 cash for farms. He made contracts but paid no money, and it was discovered today that he made the same contracts in Frank lin, Coffey, Shawnee, Morris and other counties, in each of which he proposed to buy 100 to 200 improved farms. No trace can be found of him and no immigrants have come. There are sev eral creditors looking anxiously for Von Rosen, some of whom think he is ail right and will return after his farms. He got practically nothing out of the deal and it is difficult to see what he bad to gain. EDITOR GAINES RESENTS. Seeks Arrest of Former Employe on Charge of Criminal Libel. Salina, June 25.

The re turns of the city assessors made this spring gives Kansas City, Kan., a pop ulation of 48,362, or less than 2,000 of the number needed to make the city a xnrougn tne general circulation s deposited m the joints, muscles and nerves, causing the most intense pain. Rheumatism may attack with such suddenness and severity as to make within a few days a healthy, active person helpless and bed-ridden, with distorted limbs and shattered nerves or it may be slow in developing, with slight wandering pains, just severe enough to make one feel uncomfortable the ten dency in such cases is to grow worse, and finally become chronic. Like other blood diseases, Rheumatism is often inherited, and exposure to damp or cold, want of proper food, insufficient clothing, or anything calculated to impair the health, will frequently cause it to develop in early life, but more often not until middle age or later.

From Kansas East to Chicago and West to the Coast. EVENT OF THE YEAR Will Be the Opening of the Line Into San Francisco. Onlj Road With Its Own Tracks From Chicago to the Pacific. Probably the most Important event in the railway history of the present year will be the opening of the new through line of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe road July 1. This will be the firs, company that has ever had a line over its own tracks between Chicago and the Pacific coast and much importance is attached to this announcement. Until twelve years ago the Santa Fe was a strictly Kansas system. Though it had lines reaching some distance over the borders of the state 'its principal Dusjness was within this common wealth. Then it was decided that the system was incomplete unless it secured a route to Chicago. This was an ex pensive proceeding, but was success fully executed. Subsequently the west ern ends of the road were extended. Though the Chicago line was valuable to the system as a whole, it required several years to build up a profitable business. This has been worked up, until now the Santa Fe is considered the strong Chicago-Kansas City line. Then came the company's through service to southern California. This made a hit at once and the tourist and fruit business has made it one of the most profitable lines in the country. The officers of the road started in to boom southern California as a winter resort and luxurious limited trains were put in service. Though the company has from time to time added to this service during the past winter its equip ment was taxed to the utmost to ac commodate the travel. When President Ripley assumed charge of the system five or six years ago he reorganized it. He also began to lay plans for the conquest of upper California, .particularly San Francisco. When the persons who started to build the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley road, to give them a competitor of the Southern Pacific, gave up the task the Santa Fe purchased the line and finished it to San Francesco. About two months ago the line was opened for freight traffic and now the company announces that it is ready to land passengers in the metropolis of the goiden gate state. The new line will be the first real competitor the Southern Pacific has had. CONNECT WITH PECOS ROAD. Choctaw and Gulf Extension Now a Certainty. Oklahoma City, Ok., June 25. Word has been received here from Traffic Manager J. F. Holden, of the Choctaw, Oklahoma Gulf railway, who has just returned from a meeting of the directors held at Philadelphia, that the extension of the road to Amarillo will be com menced at once and will be pushed to completion. The proposed extension in 200 miles in length and the completed system will make a line nearly S00 miles irom -Memphis, Tenn., to Amarillo, Tex. or to some point on the Pecos Valley roaa in Jew .Mexico. The entire length of the line is along the 3.r.th parallel and makes a line that was projected by Tom Henton in con gress becore the civil war and the build ing of w hich w as not begun because of the war. It provides a line from the Atlantic to the Pacific south of the snow line and north of the heat zone of the extreme southern states. BOCK ISLAND ANNUAL. Report of Past Fiscal Year Shows Much Prosperity. The annual financial report of the di rectors of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific company for the fiscal year end ing April 1 has been sent out. The statement shows the corporation to be in a flourishing financial condition. Following are the principal figures in the renort: Gross earnings from operation. .$22. (i'O. fill Operating expenses ll.ft-3.7i;S Taxes is.S2 Net earnings from operation 7.0)5.154 N'et income S.S6S,5S3 Surplus for the year 2.4W,4T5 The passenger department makes a good showing, earnings for the year being an increase of $4S7,455 over the preceding twelve months. Considerable new equipment has been added during the year and much construction work finished. Concerning track elevation, President Purdy says: "Track elevation in Chicago was ex tended during the year from Seventy first street, a distance of three-fourths of a mile, at a cost of J220.970.07. This completes the elevation as provided for in ordinances passed by the city coun cil. The total length of road now ele vated is 7.32 miles, equal to 29.42 miles of main and side tracks, the proportion of cost paid by this company being $1, 37S,114.6S." FREIGHT DIVISION CHANGE General Superintendent Nixon of the Gulf lane Makes One. Galveston, Tex., June 25. Mr. "W. C. Nixon, general superintendent of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, today stated that the Santa Fe would on July 1 begin using Beilville as the first freight division terminal north of Gal veston transferring from Sealy. A new train schedule is being prepared to cov er the change. Beilville is nearly an equal distance from Galveston and Temple, being 10S miles from the former and 111 mile from the latter. Sealy is but ninety five miles from Galveston and in using that as the division point the runs were not evenly distributed. The south bound grades between Beilville and Sea ly have been reduced, which will en able the company to run heavy trains from Beilville to Galveston. The ter minals at Beilville are not yet finished but have progressed sufficiently to ad mit of the change mentioned. Jeffery to Be Relieved. Denver, June 25. As has been re peatedly announced, President E. T. Jeffrey of the Kio Grande as to give up the general management of the road July 1 in order to devote himself to the financial end of the business, and J. G. Metcalfe, late of the Louisville and. Nashville, is to succeed him. Mr. Met calfe will arrive in Denver the latter part of this week. While he succeeds General Manager Jeffrey in title he will practically take up the work laid down by Assistant General Manager Charles Schlacks, for the latter has been taking care of the general manager's duties. air. Jeffrey declined to talk about his own futurue plans or the rumor that he was to go to New York. An Ally of the Santa Fe, San Francisco, June 25. It is report ed in railroad circles that the Oceanic Steamship company is to be made the exclusive ocean connection of the Santa Fe, that joint agencies will be estab lished at Honolulu and other Dolnts reached by the Oceanic steamers and that freight and passenger business eastbound from Australia, New Zea land and Hawaii will, so far as possible, be billed and ticketed through to the east over the Santa Fe. While the of ficials of tiie lines mentioned do not confirm this report, it is not denied that they will soon occupy the same passen ger offices in this city. No Passes to Be Issued. The executive officers of all the lines running into Kansas City have decided that no free transportation shall be is sued to or from Kansas City on account of the Democratic national convention, July 4. This is imperative, and no ex ception will be made under any circum stances. The railroads feel that very liberal concessions have already been made in the way of special reduced rates for the Kansas City convention, and they can not afford to carry any body free. Oldest Conductor Bead. St. Paul, Minn., June 25. Henry Fine hout. aged 81, believed to have been the oldest conductor in the world, died at his home here early today. His rail road service extended over a period of sixty years, and he never had an acci dent. Ban on Cigarettes. All the application blanks which men seeking positions on the Rock Isl and are obliged to fill out and sign, were recently called in and others sent out. The new ones bear the additional question, '"Does the applicant smoke cigarettes?" It was decided at a meet ing of the board in April that this question would be added to the blank. This, of course, only applies to the em ployes in the offices and on trains. FROM NEWTON. The remains of Jay Kendrieks were taken to Sedgwick, the home of his pa rents, where interment was made Sat urday. Kendrieks was run over and killed in the Wichita yards of the San ta Fe. Brakeman Thomas Huffman, who runs between Newton and Arkansas City, eot into an altercation with a couple of tramps last Thursday night, when one of them struck him over the head with a heavy instrument, knock ing him down and rendering him un conscious. They struck him a num ber of times after he had been knocked down, inflicting a number of painful wounds. Mr. Huffman was brought to his home in this city where medical attention was given, and on Saturday was taken to the Topeka hospital, he not having regained consciousness at that time. The tramps who committed the assault were arrested and placed in jail at Wichita.-and will be tried for assault with intent to kill. Geo. B. Dunkle of the superintendent's office at Newton, has returned from a ten days' vacation spent in Iowa, Everett Davis, an old time Newton boy, has been visiting Chas. E.

The residents in Parkdale were fright ened Saturday night by a man whom they believe to be insane. The man was walk ing in a circle under an electric light and talking to himself. Those who saw his strange actions were afraid to approach him and telephoned for the police. When the officers arrived they at once recog nized the man as Paul Shirk, a cocaine "fiend." who has frequently been in the city jail. He is rational when kept from the drug, but becomes insane from its use. He was at one time sent to the asylum, as it was thought the drug had affected his mind, and was released after a time as cured. He got along all right for awhile, but soon again began the use of the drug. SHELDON IN EDINBURGH. Topeka Minister Addresses World's W. C. T. U. Congress. Edinburgh, June 25.

Topeka's WILL SOON RUN TRAINS Vinewood Park lane to Be in Opera tion in Two Weeks. A train Is now running on the Vine wood Park railroad. It is, however, a work train, and is made up of the engine and a flat car. A force of about thirty is at work straightening and grading the track. Passenger trains will be running to and from the park in about two weeks. The trains will consist of the engine and three passenger coacnes. Two round trips will be made each day. On holidays and Sundays trains will be run from each end of the" line at intervals of about 40 min utes. The work of grading the track would have been commenced several weeks sooner only material could not be had to repair the engine that will be used to haul the trains. A delay of nearly five weeks has been caused by this reason. The coaches which will be used in the trains run under the new management are the ones that were used by the old Kast Side railway company. They are being remodeled and thoroughly repaired. The coaches are considerably longer than the ones now in use by the present city railway. The coaches have the double trucks on either end of the car and are fitted with springs the same as any passenger coach on a railroad. The open cars nave had seats running the entire width of the car. They are be ing rebuilt, with an aisle in the center of the car. The seats on each side of the aisle will comfortably accommodate two persons. Each car is about 35 feet long and will carry about 60 passengers. The train will be composed of two of the open cars and a closed car. The closed car will be divided into two com tartments. One compartment will be about two-thirds of the length of the car and will have two seats running the en tire length back to back in the center of the car. The other portion of the car will be fitted up as a smoking room. An order will soon be placed for new equipment- It is hardly possible, how ever, that the new cars will be delivered oetore tne miauie oi August. ine nw cars will be supplied with a new and Im proved style of gasoline motor. Each car will haul one trailer. During the time occupied in getting the track into shape a force of men will be at work on the improvement of the park. The grounds will be thoroughly cleaned. Benches will be placed in convenient places and stands where refreshments will be sold will be built. The dancing pavil ion will be repaired and the floor will also be put into good condition., The pa vilion will be painted. The street car fares will be five cents each way. Next season an opera house will be erected. A number of high class summer opera and vaudeville companies will be the at tractions. It is planned that work will begin on the viaduct over the railroad tracks and creek in the course of a few weeks. Un til the time of its completion the cars will run from the car barn on the cor ner of Tenth and Chestnut streets. This is seven blocks east of Kansas avenue on Tenth. Trains will leave this point once each forenoon, once each afternoon and two trips will be made in the evening. Later when the viaduct is completed ar.d if traffic demands it trains will be run on a schedule time, and trips will be made as often as is necessary. A new roof has been placed over the round house and the corrugated iron sides will be torn down. The sides will be re built with wood. RAN INTO A FREIGHT.

Auditorium and City Hall as The FOUND SOUL IX DISTRESS. Remarkable Visit of Mrs, Willi ts to the City. JaiL A little woman dressed in blue called at the police station Sunday evening and asked if there was not an old woman con fined there who had been sick or in trouble at about 2 o'clock in the morn ing. She was informed by the jailer that woman was there and that she had called him at about that hour and had complained of feeling bad. He said she was crying when he went to her. The visitor than stated that she had been troubled in her sleet) and at 2 o'clock something seemed to tell her that there was a woman past middle age in jail who was in great trouble. She said she had been unable to rest after that, and had come to see the woman. She was taken to the room where Mrs. Wight is confined and asked to be left alone with her for a talk, as she thought she could do her soul some good. She re mained in the room some time and when the jailer went up had just finished giv ing Mrs. "Wight a massage treatment. In answer to questions put to her she said: "I am not a spiritualist and do not believe in spirits. I am a member of the Presbyterian church and of the Universal Brotherhood, a society whose object is to do good to all and to help I sick souls. I do not understand why these strange feelings come to me. I have had them before and when I talked to the president of The Universal Brotherhood in Los Angeles he said I was what is known to the brotherhood as a sensitive." She talked of the object of the organi zation and said that its aim was to help those who need mental as well as ma terial aid. She learned that Mrs. Wight's daugh ter was sick and wanted to go at once to see if she could not be of some help, but it was getting late, so she went home. She gave her name as Mrs. Willi ts, and said she had been here about a week. Her husband is the owner of the famous trotter Silkwood, and their home is in Santa Ana. Cal. She seemed anxious to avoid publicity and that with her earnest manner and honest effort to help a total stranger prove she has faith in her strange visions and that they result in good. She told of several instances where she had been able to be of benefit to people in distress and said that her husband would laugh at her and attempt to dis suade her from following up her incli nation to aid those who had excited the feeling, but that she would worry until she was sick unless she did. It is really a matter of health with her, because she cannot rest until she has made an effort to aid in some way the sufferer who has visited her in the dream or vision. Mrs. Willits is not a woman who gives readings or hearings or goes into a trance and gets a glimpse of the future; neither does she see spirits. She is a quiet little woman who tries to do good, and does it. although there is a little of the seemingly unnatural in the method, of her learning of the woman in jail who needed both moral and material aid. Yaqui Guerillas. Phoenix, Ariz.. June 25. H. "W. Gill, of Philadelphia, who is here from a pros pecting: trip in Mexico, says the Yaqui Indians have nearly all abandoned the war path.

Business Office Bell 'Phone 107 Reporters' Room Bell' Phone 577 The Democratic vice presidential nom ination is still at large seeking whom it may devour. Senator Ilanna seems to have been unaware that the Quay senatorial busi ness was loaded. Condemnation of the frauds in Cuba has been left for the national conven tions which are yet to come. It now looks as though the next sen ate might contain both Clark and Ad dicks. Even Quay is not Impossible. It Is unfortunate for Roosevelt that his nomination had to be tinged, with the revenge of the New York and Penn sylvania bosses. Hanna was too powerful for Piatt and Quay in 18D6 but they got even with him this year. Quay was able to wipe out two old scores at once. In condemning the past acts of the Democrats the Republican platform failed to mention the destruction o fish and ducks by Grover Cleveland. If the enthusiasm displayed over Gov. Taylor of Kentucky at Philadelphia had taken a vice presidential turn there is no knowing what might have happened. A recent issue of a Pittsburg, Pa., paper records the arraignment in police court of five women in one day charged with being drunk. Pittsburg is a good field for missionary work. Montgomery Advertiser: We have a little problem in arithmetic: If Schley, who was In the fight off Santtago, gets $3,000, and Sampson, who was fifteen miles off, gets JS,000, how much should an officer get who was fifty miles away? The millions of dollars which will come into Kansas thi3 year in return for her big wheat crop, in the language of the sporting fraternity will be mostly "velvet." Ten years ago the people of Kansas were head and ears in debt. As a result of a series of good crops this indebtedness has been nearly all paid off. The money that comes to Kansas now stays here instead of going to east ern money lenders. Some idea of the way in which the nomination of Roosevelt is regarded in New York may be gathered from the following from the Utica Press: The Rochester Herald (Democrat) nays: "Kvery person who desires a change of administration at Albany ought to rejoice that the machinations of Senator Piatt have been crowned with success." Very well put. The Herald speaks not only for its party, but for the Republican machine leaders, and corporations which do not like the tax measures the governor has pro moted. The success of Senator Piatt in his efforts to get Roosevelt out of state politics rouses in Republicans and In dependents an indignation that will very likely turn tne state government over to the Democracy, especially if Mr. Coler is Its candidate. THE TROUBLE IN CHINA. Telegraphs and railways appear to be among the causes of the anti-foreign riots now in progress in China. The de ve.opment of this feature of modern en terprise in China is described in con siderable detail in a recent publication of the treasury bureau of statistics, en titled "Commercial China in 1899." It shows that the telegraph system 'of China included in 1S99 about 3,000 miles 'f line in operation, and that the rail road system included 350 miles of road in active operation and over 3,000 mile3 projected. The telegraph system con nected all of the capitals of the provln ces with the national capital, Pekln, and In turn connected with the Russian trans-Siberian telegraph line and the ocean cables; but it appears from the recent reports that those lines have in many cases been destroyed by the antl- i foreign mobs and armies. The railways thus far constructed be long to the Chinese government and were constructed under Its control and direction and at its expense. They con nect Pekin, the capital, with Tlen Tsin which lies at the head of the Gulf of Pechill and is the seaport of Pekin, while other lines run northwardly from Tlen Tsin to Shanliaikwan and still others extend southwardly from Pekin as far as Pao Ting, the capital of the Province of Chili in which Pekin is located. From that point southward a railway was be ing constructed in 1S99 by Belgian capi tal, though it was suspected that Rus sian influence and perhaps Russian cap ital, was associated in this work. This line was expected to extend to Hankow w hich may be described as the Chicago of China, being its best and largest and most prosperous inland commercial city, located 500 miles up the Yangtse-Kiang from Shanghai, which lies at the mouth of that river. Hankow Is a city of near ly l.OoO.OtiO Inhabitants and it was ex pected that the Belgian line would con nect Pekin, which lies well at the north. with Hankow located near the center and that an American line would extend still further south from Hankow to Canton and Hong Kong. The American line was surveyed by a corps of engineers under Mr. W. B. I'arsons or New York in 1898 and 1399, under a concession granted by the Chi nese government to Calvin Brice, Hugh J. Grant, Thurlow Weed Barnes and others, and this line, like all others for which concessions have been granted, was after a term of years to become the property of the Qhinese government. It was expected that this American line running from Hong Kong and Canton northward to Hankow and connecting at that point with the Belgian line which would extend to Pekin, would form an extraordinary important artery of internal commerce from China's most important southern city. Canton, and its most important central city, Hankow, and thence to its capital at the north, Pekin, from which point it would con nect with the Russian railway system which enters China In Manchuria at the extreme north. Numerous other railways have been surveyed and some of them were under construction. The German government has been encouraging, the construction of railways in the province of Shantung in which its port of Kiao-Chau Is loca ted, while concessions to British compa nies authorize the construction of lines along a large share of the eastern coast and extending up the valley of the West river to the borders of Burmah where it was expected they would final ly connect with the railway system of India. The railways projected in China and for which concessions had been granted contemplated a length of more than 3, 000 miles and it was confidently expect ed that their construction would bring the trans-Siberian system of Asiatic Russia into touch with the trans-Indiar system of British India, which in turn would finally connect with the railway systems of southern Europe and thu3 give to the world an inter-continental belt line stretching northwardly from northern Europe through Russia and Siberia, thence southwardly through Chlna,thence westwardly again through Burmah, India, Persia and Turkey in Europe to a connection with the rail way systems of southern Europe. VVhat the effect of the hostilities In China with reference to works of this character will be, cannot now be fore told. Russia controls a long stretch of territory along her north, and England the territory of British India and Bur mah at the southwest. Railway lines existing or projected extend from the territory of both of those countries into the very heart of China and intermin gled with, and an important link among these is the great American enterprise already alluded to, upon which a com pany had, according to the statements of accepted authorities in railway mat ters, arranged for the expenditure of $20,000,000 of American funds. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Life is what your kin make it. If a man is willing to work Hio rum. pie say he is a crank. An Atchison man is a crank on pul verized sugar; he just naturally hates the sight of It. When a boy finds out hat the rules are, he begins at once to devise means for breaking them. The latest serio-comic sons is enti tled: "It's terrible to pull out a hair, and find it's gray." A big city has "advantages," but poor people can't take advantage of them. And most people are poor. Some girls at thirty know nothing of life except what they learned at school from the mottoes on the copy-books. An Atchison man admitted today that he was In love with nine different girls. Later, he thought of two more. If a man is sensible enough to refuse to taKe sides in a dispute, he is too sensible to make a satisfactory friend. Nearly every woman believes that her Husband makes a great deal of money, and loses it playing poker with wick ed men. When a woman hearts that two people have quarreled, after being in love, she says: "Maybe they just thought they were in love. The most terrible thing in the -world is the manner in which two people hate each other, after they have been in love and Quarreled. And how much they "know" about each other is discredit able! POINTED PARAGRAPH? From the Chicago News. The cra'ck of a whip is a narrow aper ture. Speak but little and let that little be the truth. Dogs are not dentists, but they some times insert teeth. A domestic broil is not a very satis factory thing for dinner. Quick may be pronounced quicker by aaaing two letters to it. The prettiest bathing suits are always iouna aoove tne sea level.

Washington, June 25. Lemuel Eli Quigg received a fee of $5,000 for placing the word "isthmian'' in place of the word "Nicaragua" in the Republican national platform at Philadelphia. A well known New York man makes the charge that he did. There was much surprise when the word "isthmian" appeared in that plank of the platform which favors construction of a canal connecting the Atlantic and the Pa cific oceans. The Republican platform adopted at St. Louis in 1S96 favored the construction of a Nicaraguan canal, and the same route has been favored by name in most of the state platforms which ex press an opinion on this subject. The Panama Canal company of Ameri ca, which has its headquarters in New York, has wanted the Republican party to declare in favor of an "isthmian" waterway without specifying the route. It is well known that this American branch of the French company has had some able attorneys both in and out of congress during the past winter. According to the statement of a well known New York man, Mr. Quigg was employed as an affent of the same com pany at Philadelphia. Mr. Quigg was the New York member of the committee on resolutions, and if he was paid his fee it appears he earned it, because the plank declared in favor of "an isthmian" canal and thus leaves the question of a route an open one. It is understood that when canal legis lation comes up in congress next winter the Panama company intends to make a fight in favor of its route. Hence the de sire to strike the word "Nicaragua" out of the Republican platform and put the word "isthmian" in its place. ARE DISSATISFIED. Administration Republicans Think the Platform Lame and Flabbid. Chicago, June 25. A special dispatch to the Times-Herald from Washing ton says: There is a good deal of dis satisfaction here with the Republican national platform. It is criticised as lame, flabbid, awkward, lacking the true ring. Members of tile administration are disappointed because their plans concerning the platform went wrong. After the important planks had been fully discussed by a number of senators they were turned over to Postmaster General Smith, and by him nut into good, sterling English. Then they wefe approved by President McKinley and sent over to Philadelphia. Senator Fairbanks was chosen for chair man of the committee because he had been one of the senators consulted in the preparation of the various planks, and it was supposed he would be able to secure adoption of the draft which .the presi dent had adopted or something closely approximating it. Now it appears that Senator Fairbanks was not able to con trol things, and it is said Senator Hanna was so busy with the vice presidency that he forgot all about the committee on reso lutions. SHANGHAI IS SAFE. It Is Believed That War Will Not Affect It. New York, June 25. Richard C.

Want to Know What the United States Intend to Da (Cor. of The Associated Press.) Havana, June 19. Now that the elec tion Is over the people are beginning to ask what they have gained by it and what is going to happen next. The business men of the island, also the agriculturists, are asking and begging General W'aud for some specific declar ations as to what America intends to do, as there is no Question but that the country is beginning to feel the effects of eighteen months delay in an announcement of some kind. Capital has not come into the island. Some large areas of land have been sold, the money for which has gone to Spain, but on the other hand practically nothing is being done. Many sugar estates have not been put into operation, as the people owninir them do not feel abso lutely sure that they will not be again sacrificed to the ravages of guerilla warfare. The trouble is that men loud in their calls for independence are the first to f-ar that they will get it. One Cuban hiih official, drawing $6,000 a year as salary, does not even keep his savings in the island, and he makes no secret of his readiness to get out, no matter what happens, when the necessary time comes. General Wood and all the secretaries receive innumerable letters from capi talists asking when something definite will be decided upon, as they do not wish to invest until they know certainly what sort of government Cuba is going to have, most of them being afraid that the island will be turned over without the I'nited States retaining a form of protectorate. The Cubans claim that their actions during the election have proved them competent for self government. Cer tainly there were no fights or disturb ances. Apparently very little real in terest was felt in Havana on the sub ject. There was no boisterous crowd outside the citv hail waiting to hear the result, and the people were content to get the news from the morning pa pers next day. SO DID ROOSEVELT. D. B.

CHEAP MONEY. It la Lower in London Than in Any Other Market. New York, June 25. The Times' Lon don financial correspondent cables: A small change has come over the bent of our money market, but whether it signifies more than the approach of the half yearly bank balance sheet framing I cannot yet say. Money, how ever, is now lower here than on any other European market, cheaper even than on the New York market when lengthened periods are concerned. Six months bank bills can be discounted at from S to per cent, which is a rate. I think, unattainable on any other market in the world. Bills cf shorter currency have become a little more difficult to manage since last Monday, but three months paper can still be melted at 2 per cent, which is slightly below the finest quotation in Paris. Since the bank rate came down con tinental exchanges have moved so de cidedly against London as to create a small demand for gold on the Bank of England, besides sweeping away every ounce of metal comins into the open market. As yet only French and Ger man coins have been withdrawn from the bank's vaults for shipment to Par is and Berlin, and I do not apprehend that German orders will go much fur ther. Discount is falling and exchange rising in" Berlin, and the Bank of En gland has put up Its price for Germaan coin almost as high as it dared without exposing its bar gold to be drawn upon. I should be more confident under these circumstances that Germany would not hurt our market by taking large quantities of gold were your ex change as high row as when the week just passed began. New York's weakness aggravates the position and throws upon the London market what ever bullion demands Europe may gen erate. Paris is at the moment the most threatening spot. Not only is French exchange low, but the power of the French bankers over our market is unusually strong through the spend ings of visitors from all parts of the world now flocking into France to see the ex hibition. When gold goes from the Bank of England to Paris on a de pressed exchange it does so not in tens but in hundreds of thousands. If we can escape this danger, and get over the end of the half year without large gold exports to South Africa or any other quarter, it is possible that our discount market may slip back again, but it cannot be far or for long. We have seen. In my opinions the lowest discount rates, at least for this year, and It would cot surprise me were the bank rate to be raised again before July is out. Nothing new is reportable about stocks and shares. Arbitrage business Piano Bargains. 1 1 Hanard Upright Piano, $150 1 Columbia Upright Piano, $160 Above Pianos in modern style S of handsome walnut cases, and I as good as new. 1 Keller Bros. Upright Piano, j small size in oak case. $65 j E. B. Guild Music Co. Crawford Opera House Building;. HOI 903 North Kansas yV is nearly at a standstill, as well as local business, and it is no wonder that pric es shrink. One potent influence in sending down quotations for investment securities is the prices at which our municipalities are now tumbling over each other to sell their loans. They all want money, and are obliged to offer stocks at prices yielding S'i per cent or a little more. The standard issue figure appears to be absut 96 for 3 pc-r cent stock, and such a figure is reacting disastrously on our railway debentures and guaranteed stocks, bought quite recently to yield less than 3 per cent and often less than 2 pel cent. As for our railway common stocks, which investors till lately absorbed on a 2!i per cent basis, they must neces sarily give place now, and I look for dwindling prices in them all the sum mer and autumn from this cause alone. MONUMENT TO NANCY HANKS To Take the Form of a Domestic Sci ence School. Indianapolis, Ind., June 25.

TOPEKA STATE JOUENAL, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1900, c RUSH 0FJR00PS. (Continued from First Page.) from Wei-Hai-Wei. This column, with the Russian and American contingent i over DoO men. must cut its way throush a superior Chinese force wh on is said to have sixty suns, although this ferns incredible. The foreigners at Tien Tsin are clearly in a desperate state, with the garrison surrounded by a Chinese horde and with ammunition and supplies running short. Somewhere beyond Tien Tain, either on the way to Pekin or at that city, is a mixed force of 2.300 men, with m adeuuate supplies. ammunition and food At trie -pat ions are probably from l,o00 to 2 000 Europeans, Japanese and Amer leans, refuses being added to the work ins otnckxl officer and the military and naval guards about 450 men. Every link in this chain of relief is weak and detached, and there is no ac curate information from any station ex- C i-en w1k live in China assert that the number of foreigners at Tien Tsin is large, since the city has a Chinese pop ulation of over a million and a com merce of over $45,000,000. Tien Tsin is the chitf distributing center for trade in nothern China and Manchuria, and the natural outlet for a half dozen of the most populous provinces. There are four foreign banks, a large body of English, German, Russian, Japanese and American merchants and several groups of missionary stations. The situuti. n of the foreigners at Tien Tsin is regarded by former British offi cials in China as deplorable, and doubts are expressed respecting- the adequacy of the relief force which is available at Taku, unless Russia takes decisive aneasures, as indicated last night in offi cial communications from the foreign office aj. St. Petersburg for the invasion of Chinese territory by a really formid able army. The Ameiiean and Euro iiran fleets may lie working harmon iously under the leadership of the senior nr rear admiral at Taku. but the sup pression of anarchy in China now re- quiries the presence of a larger army thnn a nv great power tSCept Russia fan put into the field without delay. IX PERFECT ACCORD. Eondon.June 25 The Associated Press learns Lord Salisbury is still hopeful that the Chinese crisi3 will be solved without war against that country as whole. In spite of the alarming report inclines to the bel ef that tne gov -rnment of Cl.ina in some satisfactory form will- shortly be able to reassert itself. He does not mean that he be littles the opposition of the various viceroys who have given notice of their willingness to cooperate wun ine unneu forces. Without committing himself to a delir.ite view of the future, he appears averse to any scheme of territorial in j, canity which, wh--n order is restored, might be suggested by the powers who liave suffered during the uprising. The interview of the United States ambassador, Mr. Joseph II. Choate with Eord Salisbury was due to-instructions received from Secretary Hay, in which the ambassador was notified of the' fiiendly positions of the various viceroys and was instructed to secure Lord Salisbury's views beyond casual conversation. Mr. Choate had not mentioned the crisis in the far east until he received Secretary Hay's cable message. The ambassador discovered the British pre mier's views were exactly as frequently represented in the dispatches. He maintained the belief that the diplo mats at i'ekin had not been massacred and did n;t believe they were likely to be. He is eminently satisfied with the action already taken by the United States and expressed the same views as the cable dispatches attribute to Secre tary Hay. in short the conference may be said to have not elicited a single point on which Eord Salisbury differed from the American attitude and while he ex pressed his determination to use every endeavor to restore order in the Pei Ho Valley and extricate the diplomats his estimate of the situation was tinged with a spirit of hopefulness that con trasted greatly with the general tone of the British press. The British ambassador did not dis cuss the evenvoal settlement, and the likelihood of a partition of China, etc.. End it may be reiterated that this phase f the situation has not yet been made the subject of an exchange of views be tween any of the nations. Judging from the account of what passed between Mr. Choate and Lord Salisbury and the statement recently made to the Associated Press by the ioreign otlice, that Great Britain and titi.er nations, so far as the foreign of jne tvoew, were confining all their ener gies and deliberations solely to the pres ent predicament, is a sincere statement of fact. If Russia, Japan or any other lower has an ulterior object in makin" capital out of the trouble in China, Lord Salisbury does not appear to be aware of its existence. A COLORED CHORUS.

Tha Kind Yea Have Always Bought MMI AC AT LA Kills One Person .Injures Others and Takes His Own Life. Cedar Rapids, la., June 25. Charles Mefford, maniac, at 5 o'clock this morn ing killed James Fitzsimmons, fatally injured Joseph Drake.seriously and pos sibly fatally injured Mrs. James Fitz simmons, slightly injured Miss Kate Fitzsimmons and then ended his own life. Mefford was 27 years old and has been insane for a number of years. Two years ago he was In the Independence asy lum for a short time, but escaped and was never returned. He was Dot gen-. erally considered dangerous. Last night about 10 o'clock, while clad in nothing but a shirt, he darted out of his home, a raving maniac. He was seen two or three times between then and midnight, but the police failed to f nd him. Shortly before 5 o'clock this morning Reginald Andrews, the janitor at. the Old Ladies' home, was awakened by crashing glass. The next moment Mef ford stood before him, stark naked, swinging a neckyoke. "l'our time has come," shouted Mef ford. "What time do you mean?' 'asked An drews with remarkable coolness. "I have murdered one whole family tonight and I am going to kill you next, and then everybody in the home," re plied Mefford. Mefford swung the neckyoke and tried to brain Andrews. The latter dodged, and grabbed the weapon, threw Mef ford on the bed and choked him until he begged for mercy. Then Andrews agreed to give him a bath, a suit of clothes and some breakfast which apparently satis fied him. Rushing through the house, Andrews locked the 12 or 14 old ladies in their rooms, notified the police by telephone and then ran across -the street to the home of Joseph Drake for assistance. Iirake dressed, picked up a revolver and they started out. As they did so Mefford. carrying an ax, was seen to plunge through a win dow in the home of James Fitzsimmons, about 150 yards away. As he entered the room Mrs. Fitzsimmons uttered a scream. Mefford swung the ax. and brought it down toward her head. Her uplifted arm saved her life; the arm was broken in two places and she sus tained a serious scalp wound. Mr. Fitzsimmons, hearing the scream, clashed into the room and grappled with the maniac. Mefford shook him off and sent the ax crushing into his skull. split ting his head wide open. Then, dashing up stairs, Mefford attacked Miss Kate Fitzsimmons. inflicting a number of se vere scalp wounds. When he came down stairs Drake had just entered the house. Drake dropped to his knee to shoot. Click, click, click, went the revolver. But there were four empty chambers and each time the hammer came down on one of them. Then Mefford struck him on the head with the ax. A second and third blow followed and Drake fell over. Andrews escaped the maniac again. Mefford took Drake's revolver and ran out of the house. After running several blocks he put at bullet into his left breast Just below the heart. Running on two or three blocks farther he sat down on the curbstone. Placing the re volver to the center of his forehead he fired again. He continued to wave the revolver above his head. But just as the first officer grabbed the revolver from behind Mefford fell over into the gutter dead. FIRST BLOCK BOUGHT. Santa Fe Committee Completes Deal For Shop Property. The finance committee of the Com mercial club, having the Santa Fe shop matter in charge, has completed ar rangements for the purchase of the property included in the first north block of land directly east of the car shops. This block extends from Se ward avenue to Crane street and from the car shops to Klein street, and the cost of the land to the Commercial club will be $11,700. The abstracts of the property are now being examined by the Santa Fe legal department, and as soon as this work is completed the money will be paid to the property owners by the committee and the property turned over to the Santa Fe company. Mr. Jonathan Thomas, chairman of the finance com mittee, expects to leave Topeka July 12, and hopes to have the entire four acres purchased and at the disposal of the railway company by that time.

The picture shows the lancers in their final charge STRIKERS ENJOINED From Interfering With. Mail Cars on St Louis Transit Lines. St. Louis, June 25. Judge Elmer B. Adams of the United States district court today granted a temporary in junction in the case of W. D. Mahon and all the members of Division No. 131 of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employees of America, restraining them from' interfering in any way with the running of mail cars over the lines of the St. Louis Transit company. None of the defendants were pres ent. They were represented by "W. S. Anthony, while District Attorneys Hitchcock and Rosier acted for the government. In summing up the contents of the affidavits presented, Mr. Anthony de clared that it was not shown that any of the defendants had been guilty of lawlessness. "On the contrary," he added, "the strike leaders and all the members of the Street Railway Men's union have counseled law and order. The Transit company is not responsible perhaps for the unsettled conditions which existed. It is the union man who has been made to suffer and bear the brunt of all disturbances. The pres ident of the union, Sherman Patterson, row dying in the hospital as the re sult of being stabbed by an assassin." At the conclusion of the arguments Judge Adams rendered his decision sub stantially as follows: "It is conceded by the defendants that this court has jurisdiction over the question at issue. In the case of the United States against Debs it was held where it was shown there was unlawful interference -with the mails or inter state commerce the power of the court of chancery could be invoked. The authority of the government is binding upon all the people. No distinction is made for the young or the old, the rich or the poor. "The question here is whether the de fendants have been shown by the am davits to have been interfering with the instrumentalities and the agencies of the federal government. The court, in passing on the point, does not under take to punish if the affirmative posi tion is sustained. The injunction pro cess is intended as a deterrent, a pre ventive of lawlessness and is a dec laration and warning to all the peo ple. The issue as set forth here is not between the Transit company and the members of the street car union, but of the United States against the strikers and all persons who may in terfere with the operation of the mails. "Irrespective of whether this or that person has been guilty of an act of law lessness, a reasonable apprehension as to a violation of the laws of the United States is practically all that is neces sary to determine the issuance of an injunction. "Soon after the present strike here referred to was inaugurated there were scenes of lawlessness throughout the city. It is admitted that the mail cars have been interfered with and their prompt operations at times rendered impossib! e. "The defendants and those who have acted in concert with them ordered the strike. From this it follows that wheth er they are guilty of lawlessness or not as complained of. they must be held ac countable for the necessary conse quences of their acts. "If it is true, and I hope it is, that none of the defendants has been, guilty of interfering with the mail cars, then the injunction certainly can do no harm. However, my ruling is not based upon that conclusion. The motion for a tem porary injunction is accordingly granted." SHOES IN TOPEKA. "W. S. "Webber Would Build a Factory in This City. Mr. W. S. "Webber, one of the members of the Richardson Shoe company of Menominee, Mich., has written Secre tary Anderson of the Commercial club in reference to the establishment of a show factory in this city. Mr. Webber's idea is to organize a local company, and erect and equip a suitable plant, but he failed to speak of the details, of his scheme in his letter. Secretary Anderson will call on the shoe merchants of Topeka and see what the sentiment is in regard to the for mation of a local company. Mr. Web ber proposes to manufacture a staple "seamless" shoe and states that 600 pairs are now being turned out' daily at the factory in Menominee. 814.00 Chicago and Return via The Hock Island Route!"

How the British Lancers SOW FOR HORSE SHOW- The Amphitheater Will Comfortably Seat 3500 People. Final preparations for the Topeka horse show are being made. The am phitheater has been completed.. It is strongly built and has a seating capac ity of 3,500 persons. The prospects for the coming show are flattering. The list of entries in the pro fessional classes are surprisingly good. The classes in which the entries are confined to Topeka, have not been filled as they should.Heretoforethe home peo ple have been rather timid in entering because of coming into competition with professional horses. Arrangement of classes ftas been made so that Topeka people so desiring may not have to compete with horses from out of town. Those desiring to make entries will have to do so before tomorrow at noon, at which time the books will be closed. A polo game will be one of the fea tures of the show. The sides will be captained by Dean R. Low and A. E. Ashbrook of Kansas City. This will be the first polo game ever witnessed in this city. The -players in this game are mounted on horses. The sides line up and a ball is placed between them. The players carry long slender sticks with which they strike the ball. The object of the game is to drive the ball to a goal at the end of the field. Any num ber may play the game. It is a very exciting game and sometimes becomes dangerous. The hunting tandem will be another feature of the show. Each of the con testants drive a tandem hitched to a cart. They drive around the arena sev eral times and at a signal all turn and drive as fast as possible to a given point where the drivers jump from the cart and unfasten the leader from the harness, mount and make a run before taking the hurdle. This is also interest ing and exciting. The judges secured for the coming show have no interests here and are professional men who have acted in thia capacity in shows in the larger cities. The judges are: Mortimer Levering, banker, of Layfayette, Indiana; Warren Galbreath, claim agent of the M. K. T., Dallas, Texas: and John R. Gentry, manager of the St. Louis horse show. HORSE SHOW NOTES. Fifteen head of horses were shipped in to Topeka this morning. O. D. Woodward will exhibit "Lime Stone Bell," one of the greatest horses in the high school class. This horse is the one used by the Woodward Stock company on the stage in the production of "Quo Vadis." Seventy-six entries have been made from Kansas City. Joseph T. McLeavey of Dwight has entered a saddle horse. "The Arrow," the pure white horse which created a sensation when exhibi ted at the Philadelphia horse show, will be shown here. The arena of the horse show will be brilliantly lighted with electricity. Don't say high school gaits. They are movements. D. H. Carter, the Kansas horseman, has made entries in several classes. A great many swell turnouts will be seen at the show. Besides the ones from out of town a number have been bought by Topeka people especially for this oc casion. Dean Low recently received a w icker tandem cart and a wicker runabout. The runabout is equipped with an odometer which rings a bell at the end of each mile, both electric and gas lights, a clock and all the other ap pointments which go to make a run about complete. A. Watson Armour, son of the million aire packer, has made a number of en tries. CALL IN TRAVELING MEN. Uncertain Prices of "Wheat Frightens Topeka Millers. Owing to the uncertain prices of grain a number of the Topeka milling com panies have called in their traveling men. The elevators are ot filled to their capacity at this time of the year, and it is not thought advisable to fill them while the present uncertainty of prices lasts. The Shawnee Milling company has called in three of their traveling men. The Mid-Continent and the Inter-Ocean mills each have three or four men still on the road. The Topeka Milling com pany is now doing business without representatives on the road. It is thought, however, that the prices will soon become more stable. Attention Comrades. The members of Lincoln Post with all other old soldiers are invited to meet at Lincoln Post hall Monday evening at 7 o'clock to join in the parade to wel come Congressman Charles Curtis home. J. T.

Opened the Way to Pretoria TO BRING TROOPS HOME. Withdrawal From Cuba to Be Begun Soon. Washington, June 25. As soon as Sec retary Root returns to this city early next week, final arrangements will be made for the withdrawal os as many troops as can be spared from further service in Cuba. According to reports received from Governor General Wood the elections passed off quietly and without serious dis order and affairs generally have become tranquil, with no indications of future trouble. In consequence of this encour aging state of affairs the officials of the war department are considering the ques tion of a large reduction of the military force in Cuba. It has been estimated that about one-half of the troops can be safely withdrawn in the next few months. Noth ing will be settled as to which regiments shall come until after Secretary Root re turns to the city. There is an impression, however, that the Fifth infantry, sta tioned principally in the department of Santiago, will be the first Cuban regiment to return to the United States, and that the Eighth infantry, stationed in the same department, will follow soon after. The return of these troops to the United States will enable the department to carry out its plan of sending regular troops from this country to the Philip pines to take the places of the volunteer army which must be brought home and discharged by June 30. 1901. Unless de velopments in China necessitate a change or programme tne nomeward movement of the volunteer troops from the Philip pines will begin in the earlv fall, and about 8.000 or 10.000 regular troops will be sent out gradually, from this country to taKe tneir places. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, June 25. WHEAT "Wheat be gan the new business "week nervous and active with a big trade. Julv at the orjen ing sold all the way from 86c to 88c, compared with Saturday's close at SSc The northwest was still without say and the weather was reported still engaged in scorching what remains of the spring wneat wreck. In Manitoba there was some moisture. Liverpool cables were comparatively weak, and world's ship ments heavy. Russian shipments were 2 000,000 bu. and attracted some attention. Harvesting of the Kansas "bumper" crop was reported progressing under the best of conditions. There was heavy profit taking in longs, but the demand was enual to' the occasion and gradually pulled July up to SSc at 11 o'clock. A decline to 87c followed. Northwest receipts were light. Chicago had 1S7 cars, 10 of contract grade, while Minneapolis and Duluth reported 474 cars, against 649 last week and 9S1 a year ago. Later in the session the market broke heavily. Southwest favorable conditions were compared with the northwest situ ation as balancing matters to a degree. July declined sharpiy to 83e. A reaction followed on covering, but the close was unsteady, July 2c under Saturday, at 86c. CORN The corn market was rather easy, but fairly active. July opened 1c to lc lower at 41c to 41c. rallied to 42fgc and then eased off to 41e, where the market steadied. Receipts here were 610 cars. Corn broke with wheat to 41c, but steadied and closed 13c under yesterday at 41c. OATS Oats were strong and active, supported by northwest buying on dam ages to the feed crops of that section. July opened c over Saturday at 25c, and sold to 26c Receipts here were 2S4 cars. PROVISIONS Provisions were active and weak.

Much may depend In the looal stock speculation this week on the the course of events in China. It is well to remember that much of the news coming from China is founded upon mere reports. In times of alarm any sit uation is apt to be magnified for the worst, and therefore considerable specu lation should be exercised in the way of crediting the most alarming dispatches on the subject. There can be no doubt, however, that- markets are likely to be called upon for some time to deal with the Chinese problem as an important factor in influencing quotations. The spring wheat crop promises to be materially reduced as compared with last year, but the street is disposed to ignore the fact that this cereal supolies only one-third of the total wheat crop of the country. The corn crop is apparently overlooked by the present bear operators in the stocks.

SEA LEVEL CANAL. Newly Discovered Route Meets With Much Favor. Boston, June 25. It is generally be lieved by those at the Boston navy yard who are familiar with the surveys for the canal across the Isthmus of Darien, made In 1ST0 and 1871, and recently con firmed, that a route across the isthmus from Caledonia bay to San Miguel baj is not impracticable nor doubtful, as Hear Admiral J. G. Walker has intima ted. An officer familiar with the matter, said last night: "This Lasardi route across the isth mus has the unique advantage of offer ins a sea level canal, if a single eleva tion of fcoo feet can be successfully pass ed. The maps referred to indicate that at an elevation of 200 feet the hill is only one mile in width. This would mean that at sea level only about 15 miles of country would have to be cut through in ord r to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific. As is well known, such a pro ject would take into account the Sa vannah river, which offers a natural waterway for the greater part of the di?i nee. "It does not seem likely that any great depressions in the vicinity of the height mentioned exist. The success with which a canal could be cut through would depend largely upon the charac ter of the soil. The facts in regard to this have not yet been determined. "it is also to be doubted that two locks, one ut each end of the proposed canal, as Rear Admiral Walker sug gested, would be necessary. To be sure, the difference of the rise and fall of the tide of the Atlantic and I'aciiic is 20 feel, but to travel 20 miles in six hours would Tiienn n ruttJ nf sneeH fitr thp till., nf Flint. miies an hour, which is high, and as the tide travels slowly during the first hour or two and during the last hour or two it would lie likely to turn before it had seriously affected navigation. "If the natural depth of canal. TO feet, was dug, the title Would in no wise af fect any naval vessel afloat, and at high tide there would be simply a greatei depth of water." HAFS IN STATE HOUSE. Boys Playing in Grounds Arrested by Police. Five young men who rave theii names as Kay Raymond, Robert La ment. Henry Morgan, Conklin Jones and Guy Tobias were aritsted Sunday charged with shooting craps. It appears that a crap game was in progress on the state house grounds and that a com plaint was made which resulted in the arrest of the five young men.

Judge Hook has granted a temporary injunction against the county commis sioners and county clerk of Thomas county restraining them from collecting taxes from the Union Pacific Land Co. The company alleges in its petition that there has been an illegal and fraudulent scheme concocted and worked by the assessors of Thomas county to so assess values of non-resident property owners that resident property owners would escape taxation as far as possible. The case involves more than $5,000. The hearing was set for August 4. A temporary injunction was also granted against P. Al. Holcomb, county clerk of Wyandotte county, restraining him from changing the values of per sonal property assessed against Armour Packing company, the Metropolitan Street Piailway company. Swift Co., Fuller Bros., Swarzschild Suldberger Co., and Standard Oil company. Mr. Holcomb claims that he has evidence that none of these firms gave a true value to the assessors and has notified them to appear before him June 28 and make sworn statements as to the value of their personal property. The case will be heard August 4 in Leavenworth. STILL SHUT UP. Governor Roosevelt Continues to Deny Himself to Callers. New- Tork, June 25.

GOV. STANLEY'S TRIALS, Receives a Long Poem About the Fourth of July. Governor Stanley goes to Chicago to morrow on private business, and he will also take a short rest from the cares of long trips and speech-making. The governor returned to the executive office this morning refreshed after a Sun day rest, but the need of a vacation wa3 very much in evidence after he had gone through-the morning mail. In an envelop bearing tour stamps, two of which were "postage due," the gov ernor found a Fourth of July poem, lie read it through. The office force thinks tne governor will be able to eat supper. The poem came from a woman in Ta coma. Wash. It was worse than similar productions of the early spring. What was regarded as the worst feature of the enort was tne diagram which accom i, anled it. The poet raved about the Fourth of July, and displayed in the document a plan by which the poem might be illustrated on that "glorious and iruinui aay. me reierence to fruitful ness was particularly impressive, but the autnor insists ttiat the governor illus trate the production and the dl aETflm re. ferred to is a iengthey document bearing nijsiinuua liiiii aciers, marKS ana signs, showing how "lifty carefullv eroomed young girls," to use the language of the poet, may be placed on a public platform to produce the pyrotechnic effect "so much desired for such glorious occasion."

Senator Lodge's Startling Speech, on Chinese Question. 33oston Mass.. June 25. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, a member of the foreign relations committee of the senate, made a remarkable speech at the Saturday afternoon meeting of the Kssex club, held to ratify the nomina tion of McKinley and Roosevelt. He described the work of the past four years, commented on the work of the convention, declared that Roosevelt vast a great civic executive and hero, and made the following close, which evoked tremendous applause: "We have put the tariff law on the j statute books; we have put the gold standard law on the statute books; we have fought the war with Spain; we have made the peace with Spain; we have given Hawaii a government; we have given Alaska a government; we have given-Porto Rico a government; we are restoring order in the Philip pines; we are guiding Cuba along the path to independence and safe govern ment. There remains the question of expar.j'on. I am not going to argue that great question here this afternoon. I shall have occasion to say a great deal about it to the people of Massachusetts, I suppose, before they vote in Novem ber. But all eyes are fixed upon China, It looks as if the agony of that great empire, so long predicted, had begun. It may be postponed; it may be put off; but the great Question of China ia there.. It would have arisen if Dewey had never seen Manila Bay. We had for thirty years but one ship on the China station, the old Monocacy, which -;as too weak to be taken across to Manila by Dewey. if it had not been for the war in the Philippines our missionaries, our traders, our consuls and our merchants would be today unprotected in China, or left in the protection of some other nation. As it is, holding Manila, we are the strongest naval power in the east and ear. protect our own. We are no longer to live like a hermit crab, not allowing our people to go into China or India, or our missionaries to spread religion. We are to protect them. We are to take 0111' share in the trade and commerce of the mighty east. We need the markets of China, and I say Manila, which came to us providen tially, as I believe, by the fortunes of war, is the great guarantee of American safety in the east. And as to the Fil ipinos, if the Republican party could be trusted to free 4,000,000 slaves in our own land, is it to be suspected of a wish to make 10,000.000 new slaves in the Philippine Islands? Their welfare is to us a sacred trust. We are to guide them in the great problem of self government. "We have China on the far western shore of the Pacific, but we hold the other side. The people who live on the furthest shore cf the Pacific can not be a matter of indifference to the mas ters of the western coast of North America. Study the Chinese question. It is the great question of the day. The events that are going on today in Chi na are bis: with future results. All the great nations of the world are gath ered there. One great nation is plan ning to seize that empire and close it to the rest of the world. That, in our own interest, and in the interests of humanity, and the interests of civil! zation, too, we can not afford. I am not afraid ever to see the United States take her place in the struggle of the great world powers, where she be longs. I do not mean that we will have to meddle in Europe. God forbid! But I do sai' that the other side of the Pacific is an American interest, and 1 want to see the United States protect her own throughout the east. She can do it. We are no weaklinss. The blood of youth is in our veins, and we shall triumph over these difficulties as. we have triumphed over greater ones in the past. No one has yet come be neath the flag except to bless it, and the people wherever it waves today, .in the far Kast, will bless it, too, even as we and our children." (Prolonged ap plause.) WE'RE ON GROUND FLOOR. That Is "What Mr. Grimes Says of Philadelphia Convention. F. E. Grimes, state treasurer, has re turned from the national Republican convention, and is. enthusiastic beyond expression for Roosevelt. "The Kansas delegation was at the front all the time in Philadelphia," said Mr. Grimes today. "The New Yorkers tried to keep the delegates from reach ing Roosevelt after they had agreed to present his name to the convention but they did not succeed. Quay, Piatt and some of the other notables captured Roosevelt when we had sent word that we were waiting in the governor's head quarters to notify him that Kansas had been first to declare for him. Those fel lows took Roosevelt to their rooms and attempted to prevent him from going to his own headquarters. In the meantime the Kansans stood in Roosevelt's rooms while the New Yorkers abused; us for declaring for Roosevelt. They told us we had killed Roosevelt politically and buried ourselves in oblivion," said Mr, Grimes. "We finally got to Roosevelt and Mr. Burton notified him of the action we had taken. They pleaded with us to withdraw our action but we did not do so. Then the New Yorkers got to gether and endorsed Woodruff. Then they laughed at us and said we were lett. hut we weren't. We were on the ground floor from start to finish," said ivir. crimes, entnusiastically. Another New Bank. Bank Commissioner John W.

Adam Ortseifen, the Chi cago candidate, arrived early this morn ing, accompanied by about twenty of his friends, including a few delegates He went to the St. Nicholas hotel and circulated among the country delegates now on the ground. At noon he said: "I have not been here long enough to know anything of the situation. I am devoting my time to getting acquainted. I am gratified at the cordiality of my reception. I find a strong sentiment in favor of my nomination because I am a German, for it is not forgotten that our last Democratic governor, the only one elected in forty years, was a Ger man." Probably two hundred delegates are now in town, and hundreds more will arrive on the afternoon trains. The con vention 13 now scheduled to last two days.

In the second Inning 3 leaden gave four men bases on balls, liases on halls were also scattered along t !:rough the game at frequent intervals by iieadeii. The feature of the game was the dou lile play in the second inning. Titus batted a hot one to the pitcher; Sher man threw to first and from first to third, putting both runners out. This is the way they played: Reds. Positions. Lawrence. f-'.hernian pitcher Headen Raird catcher Pearce Raughman first base Frebert Henry.. JlU.-y Oardiner Sullivan'..

The sec retary is in correspondence with the manager of the team in the Rock Is land shop3 at Horton and it is thought that a game may be arranged -with this team. SENATOR HARRIS' TIEWS. Kepublican Ticket Is Strong, But Thi iks Bryan Will "Win. Washington. June 2. Among the presi dent's many visitors Saturday was Sen ator Harris. Democrat of Kansas. "The ticnet is strong and 'the platform is pdroit." .said Senator Hnrris. in speak ing of the W(irk of the Republican na tional convention. "Roosevelt- is a pic turesque ligure and is very popular in the WMst. .Uany men who are not committed t i any party will take to the Republicans because of Roosevelt's connection with the licket. At the seme time I do not be lieve the ticket will win. The people are Ta.t to he deluded into the idea that the existing prosperity is the product of the Republican nlministra.tion. We are hav Iiik prosperity in the west, but it is due to good seasoTis. hard work, rierid econ omy and self-denial. Unfavorable condi tions elst where, even now. are advancing the price of wheat, which will greatly benelit the farmers of Kansas and the west, but these unfavorable conditions were not hroimlit around by the Republi can administration. The people through out the country understand the reasons for these things. Vunher than tlds. the peopie recognize that the last congress i:;ive to the trusts of all kinds all they jisked for. They also recognize that con gress absolutely refused to do for the country those things which were de manded Irrespective of party, such as an n-mended interstate law anti-trust legisla A P0PULER MISTAKE Regarding; Remedies for Dyspepsia and Indigestion. The rational disease of Americans Is indigestion or In its chronic form, dys-I-epsia, and for the very reason that It is so common many people neglect tak ing proper treatment forwhat they con Mider trilling stomach trouble, when as a matter of fact Indigestion lays the foundation for many incurable diseases. -'o person with a vigorous, healthy Ftomaeh will fa'l a victim to consumn- th.n. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from poor ingestion: thin, nervous people are real ly so because their stomachs are out of gear; weary, languid, faded out women owe their condition to imper fect digestion. When nearly every person you meet is afflicted with weak digestion it is not surprising that nearly every secret patent medicine on the market claims t be a cure f ir dyspepsia,, as well as a s-core of other troubles, when in fact, is lr. Werthier says, there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is per fectly safe and reliable, and moreover, this remedy is not a patent medicine, but it is a scientific combination of pure pepsin (free from animal matter), vegetable essences, fruit salts and bis muth. It is soid by druggists und'r name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extravagant claims are made for them, but for indigestion or anv stomach trouble Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are f ir ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply eat all the whole some ",od you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results, because nil the stomach fieeds Is a rest, which J tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by do ing the work of digestion.

If the Democrats will fully pledge themselves to these and other things, in cluding an income tax and election of senators by the people, at the same time nominating a good man for vice presi dent, they will win in November. "We want aman in whom the country will have the same confidence as Bryan, and I do not know a better man than Shivley of Indiana. No, we cannot afford to straddle by having a man on the ticket holding views antagonistic to those of Mr. Brvan and the party. I do not think a soldier is needed to offset the looked for enthusiasm that Roosevelt may give to the Republicans." BE ON GUARD. City Physician Issues Address About Smallpox. City Physician H. B. Hogeboom has Issued the following address: "I desire to announce to the medical profession and the public, that at this date there is but one case of smallpox or 'Cuban chickenpox' in Topeka. Since the appearance of this eruptive disease, late in September, there have been be tween TOO and S00 cases reported to the city board of health. A fair presumption is that there was nearly the same num ber in the city and adjacent territory not reported. "A small per cent of the number re ported have been readily recognized as smallpox. The number of deaths due to the epidemic was 15. "The germs of smallpox are still to be found in various localities in the com munity, hence it is essential that every precaution be taken by all physicians in the discharge of the duties of their profession, as well as by every citizen, to have cleanliness in their residences and premises. Hygienic measures to prevent another outbreak of this epi demic should be taken now and as the fall months approach. I desire to call the attention of every physician and ev ery citizen to the city ordinances and the rules of the health department con cerning eruptive diseases of every char acter, and earnestly urge a prompt re port of all such cases, that quarantine may be immediate and effective in Its purposes. "It is of the utmost importance that heads of families should co-operate with the physicians to secure early and suc cessful vaccination. This is an import ant measure of prevention and should not be neglected." PROHIBITIONISTS LOSE ONE Rev. Mr. Pyle Quits Party Because Senator Baker Was Not Endorsed. An incident of the Prohibition state convention has created considerable an imus and has lost for the cause of that party an earnest supporter. Rev. A. C. Pyle of Leavenworth, will affiliate with the Republicans, because, as he says, Mont Williams did not carry out his promise to endorse Senator Baker in the convention. "Williams told me before we went to Topeka, gave me his absolute promise that Baker should be endorsed," said Rev. Mr. Pyle to a State Journal repor ter. "When the resolution was present ed Williams followed it until he killed it. When nominations for -governor were in order Mr. Pyle arose to make a long speech for Mayor Holsinger. He was rambling along in the midst of a per iodless encomium of his candidate when a wordly delegate on the other side of the hall arose and said: "I suggest that the speaker tell us what he is getting at. The time is abort and we would like to hear what he is unving ax. Mr- ryle had not named his candidate. j ""wii "i a nun out later arose and told the convention that the dele gates had missed a good speech by IlOU UOVVI1.

I make that proposition to you now. and I'll give you tWO weeks to airptit it MACAllTIIUirS REPLY To the Peace Proposals of the Fili pino Leaders. Manila, June 25. General MacArthur has given a formal answer to the Fili pino leaders who, last Thursday, sub mitted to him peace proposals that had been approved earlier in the day by a meeting of representative insurgents. In his reply he assured them that all personal rights under the United States constitution, excepting trial byjury and the right to bear arms, would be guar anteed them. The promoters of the peace movement are now engaged in reconstructing the draft of the seven clauses submitted to General MacArthur in such a way as to render it acceptable to both sides. The seventh clause, providing for the expulsion of the friars, General Mac Arthur rejected on the ground that the settlement of this question rests with the commission headed by Judge Taft. That portion of the Forty-third infan try which formerly garrisoned the is land of Samar will proceed to the is land of Leyte, giving the garrison there the needed reinforcement. The battalion of the Twenty-ninth in fantry which was sent to Samar will act as the garrison there. SHERMAN FOR HILL. First Kansas County to Instrnct For the New Yorker.

Several congenial spirits had pur chased the beer and had taken it out there where they were having a good time.

A PEKIN PROFESSOR Relates Some of the Causes Leading Up to Chinese Troubles. New York, June 25. Rev. Isaac T. Headland, professor of mental and mor al philosophy in the Pekin university, delivered an address last night at the Union Methodist Episcopal church on the present situation in China. He left China early In March last. but he was in Pekin during the Chinese Japanese war. Professor Headland said that the present trouble began about a year ago. In sections remote from European influences village hood lums began in the first place to perse cute the native Roman Catholics.
