Dowager Empress of China Again at the Helm. Orders the Protection of For eigners at Any Cost. OUTLAWS DISPERSING. Situation in China Shows a Marked Improvement If Recent Dispatches Can lie llelied Upon. Shanghai, July 10. News from official eourees was received at 10 o'clock last night to the effect that the empress had en June 30 resumed the reins of govern ment and appointed Yung Lu prime minister. It is said that she sent a dis patch to Nankin by courier at the rate of 100 miles per day. thanking the vice roys of the Yang Tse Kiang provinces Cor their loyalty.and recommending that they protect foreigners at any cost. OUTLAWS DISPERSING. Washington, July 10. Secretary Hay has received a cablegram from Mr. Goodnow, United States consul general at Shanghai stating that it is given out by. the governor of Shan Tung that the legations were standing on July 5. and that the outlaws were dispersing. Mr. Ooodnow adds that this statement does not obtain general credence. OUTLOOK IS IMPROVED. New York, July 10. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says belated de tails of the fighting at Tien Tsin are conflicting and untrustworthy, but there ere many signs that the anti-foreign movement is weakening, that the allied forces are preparing to make a success ful advance upon the capital, and that the diplomatists in European capitals are not wasting their time, but are do ing useful work in a most practical way. A dispatch to the Herald from Che Fee. dated Sunday says: Refugees who have arrived from Tien Tsin bring the- following information: The Chinese resumed the bombard ment of the foreign quarter last Tues day, and non-combatants were order ed that day to leave. The bombard ment is described as the worst yet ex perienced, but there were no civilian casualties, though many marvelous es capes are reported. A force of British and Russians tried to silence the Chi nese guns, but retired without effecting their object. Two guns from the Terri ble silenced the Chinese guns on Thurs day, but the artillery duel recommenced on Friday. Two hundred refugees, mostly women and children left Thursday and Friday in lighters towed by launches and reached Taku safely. The Yorktown took 25 American refu gees on board. The Cermans went aboard a German warship, while the British were transferred to the Hainchi and the Hai Loong. The former has reached Che Foo with 50 refugees on tile way to Shanghai. The British cruiser Alacrity called at Che- Foo this morning from Wei Hai Wei to obtain more guns for Tien Tsin, which is weak in artillery. NINTH REACHES TAKU. London, July 10. The Daily Mails correspondent announces under date of July 7, that the Ninth United States in fantry has arrived at Taku. A dispatch to a news agency here da ted Tien Tsin July 2. says: "The empress dowager, so far from being deal is actively striving to pre vent the factions fighting. Prince Ching lias informed her that he would rather lose his head than be constantly obliged to warn her of the consequences of the prolongation of the present anarehv. Prince Tuan is quite willing that Ching should be decapitated, but the dowager empress will not allow this. Prince Tuan has decided that he will take full responsibility. He purposes to retake Tien Tsin and Taku. Outside of Pekin except in the Pe Chi Li and Shan Tung country, the people are supremely in different." RUSSIA CONSENTS. St. Petersburg. July 10 Authoritative Information just obtained confirms the report that Russia has consented to and is even desirous that Japan should ac tively co-operate in the pacification of China. Russia places no limit on the number of Japanese troops to be em ployed and only, stipulates that this agreement is not to constitute a man date whereby Japan will obtain a privi leged possession. Japan, it is added must co-operate in the work of pacify ing on the conditions as the other pow ers. KAISER WILL BE AVENGED. Kiel. July 10. Addressing the first na val division prior to its departure for China today. Emperor William said- Yours is the first division of armor ed ships which I send abroad. Remem ber you will have to fight a cunning foe provided with modern weapons to avenge the German blood which has ilowed. But, spare the women and chil dren. I shall not rest until China is subdued and all the bloodv deeds are avenged. You will fight together with i..r m-ops oi various nationalities Set .1 m,Hint"'n SoL,d comradeship with them. FOREIGNERS TAKE A PALACE. Tien Tsin, Tuesday. July 3. It is re ported from Chinese sources that the foreigners at I ekin have taken posses sion of one of the prince's t.alacea op posite and commanding the British le gation, and that the native Christians have been installed therein. CHINESE surprises London. July 10 Chinese official sources furnish another surprise todav in annourcing that the dowager em press, who had leen reported within two weeks dead. fled. poisoned. and hopelessly mad. has resumed the reins of power. The date given is June 30 the same on which the wholesale mas sacre of foreigners is alleged to have occurred. The telegram of Sheng, the admin istrator of telegraphs and railways, to the Chinese minister at Washington Wu Ting Fang, saying the imperial government is protecting the legations, appears to fit in with the dispatch frorri Shanghai of this morning. particular: with reference to the alleged directions given by the dowager empress relative to the protection of foreigners. At the same time people continue to ask why, if the legations are protected, the min isters are not permitted to communi cate with the outer world. Sheng's ex pressed fears that the food and ammu nition of the legations are exhausted are counteracted by the news that Prince Ching, the commander" of the Manchu field force, is revictualing them, besides which it is now known that in the last resort there are avail able for food several hundred ponies usually kept within the walls of the Hritish legation. In the meantime, ac cording to the legation of Japan here, the Japanese by no means share the general opinion that the advance on Pekin must be indefinitely delayed. The officials assert that the Japanese have no intention of halting at Taku or Tien Tsin. but propose to advance on Pekin during the present week. Their mili tary authorities express the opinion that 20,000 of their troops in addition to the international forces already available will suffice to force an entry into the Chinese capital. Emperor William dispatched the Ger man warship Buzzard from Kiel for China this morning, while the German cruisers Geier and Seeadler have been ordered to proceed to China as rapidly as possible from their American and Australian stations, respectively. GETTING NEWS FROM PEKIN. London, July 10. It has been learned by the Associated Press that the Chi nese legation here, though apparently unable to communicate directly with Pekin, is getting news from there in directly. The officials of the legation declare the present trouble is entirely the work of Prince Tuan, and that the government,' the dowagef empress and the Chinese generally are against the boxers. The officials also say they have reason to hope that the situation at Pekin is improving, and that Prince Ching will succeed in protecting the for eigners. They scouted the stories of the massacre of the people in the legations and the poisoning of the emperor. DEPARTING DARKNESS. New York, July 10. A dispatch to the Tribune from London, says: While there is no light there is a sense of departing darkness in China. The southern viceroys, who have taken a line of action of their own. understand what is going on both in Pekin and in Europe and are not in sympathy with Prince Tuan and the boxers. They have been waiting for a counter movement against the military usurpation, and now that a reaction has set in against massacre and revolution they are as serting their authority and sending to the palace information respecting the amendments of the foreign powers and the combined forces of the civilization which Prince Tuan and the empress have defied. If little trustworthy news comes out of Pekin it does not follow that a good deal of truth and common sense are not go ing in through the foreign consulates and provincial centres. For this reason some of the best informed men in and out of parliament are now convinced that the legations will be spared and that truce will be ordered from the pal ace and the China question adjusted by diplomatic means. Neither official nor press dispatches warrant this conclusion but there are hopeful signs in several quarters of the cloudy sky. The empress dowager is evidently playing off Prince Ching against Prince Tuan. and throwing out an anchor to windward. This is a fact which im presses the diplomatists here. They read with composure the details of des perate fighting at Tien Tsin and the repulse of the Chinese attacks upon the allied troops. They assert that skir mishes in which casualties to Euro peans and Americans are trivial or of no account when there is practical evidence that the Chinese forces are divided and that the legations are allowed to hold their ground. Belated details of the fighting at Tien Tsin are conflicting and untrustworthy, but there are many signs that the anti foreign movement is weakening, that the allied forces are preparing to make a successful advance upon the capital, and that the diplomatists in European capitals are not wasting their time, but are doing useful work in a most practi cal way. THAT IDENTICAL NOTE. Washington, July 10. The circular note which was sent to our foreign rep resentatives concerning the Chinese matter is as follows: "Department of State, Washington. July 3, 1900. "In this critical posture of affairs in China it is deemed appropriate to define the attitude of the United Stares as far as present circumstances permit this to be done. We adhere to the policy initiated by us in 1857, of peace with the Chinese nation, of furtherance of law ful commerce, and of protection of lives and property of our citizens by all means guaranteed under extra terri torial treaty rights and by the law of nations. If wrong be done to our citi zens, we propose to hold the responsible authors to the uttermost accountability. We regard the condition at Pekin as one of virtual anarchy, whereby power and responsibility is practically de volved upon the local provincial au thorities. So long as they are not in overt collusion with rebellion and use their power to protect foreign life and property we regard them as represent ing the Chinese people with whom we seek to remain in peace and friendship. The purpose of the president is. as it has been heretofore, to act concurrent with the other powers, first, in opening up communication with Pekin and rescuing the American officials, mission aries and other Americans who are in danger: secondly, in affording all possi ble protection everywhere in China to American life and property: thirdly, in guarding and protecting all legitimate American interests: and fourthly, in aiding to prevent the spread of the dis orders to the other provinces of the em pire and a recurrence of such disasters. It is. of course, too early to forecast the means of attaining this last result, but the policy of the government of the United States is to use a solution which will bring about permanent safety and peace to China, preserve its territorial and administrative entity, protect all rights guaranteed to friendly powers by treaty and international law and safeguard for the world the principle of equal and impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese empire. "You will communicate the purport of this instruction to the minister for for eign affairs. HAY." THE FIGHTING AT TIEN TSIN. Tien Tsin. Wednesday, July 4. The Chinese shelled the foreign settlements pi! day long. July 3. Upwards of 150 shells fell into the concession and many houses were partially wrecked. The casualties however were few, the civ ilians and women and children being ordered to seek shelter in the cellars of the town hall and the Astoi' hotel. Three companies of Japanese infantry, e mountain battery and a body of Rus sians engaged the Chinese artillerists, but with little effect. The 12-pour.der of the British first-class cruiser Ter rible then came into action, but the enemy placed two shells fairly under the gun. damaging the carriage and wounding the crew. The gun was with drawn and replaced by a French gun which had a similar experience, a shell bursting in the midst of its crew. The Japanese casualties during the day's fghting were an officer and two mn ki'led and twenty men wounded. The casualties of the other forces en gaged are not yet known. (Continued on Sixth Page.) 12,000 TAILOR Members of the Brotherhood About to Go on Strike. Condition is as Bad as it "Was Five Years Ago. NOT A GOOD TIME. Garment Workers "Would Not Lend a Hand. Members Not Disposed to Take Leaders' Advice. New York, July 10. The members of the Brotherhood of Tailors who are said to number some 12,000, are again getting ready for a general strike. They say that all the advantages which they won several years ago have been gradually lost and that the contractors have in most instances returned to the task system, under which a man has to work a day and a half or two days for one day's pay. The leaders, however, are trying hard to prevent the men from going out, as they think a general strike would be ill-advised at present. Secre tary Henry White of the United Gar ment Workers, with which the brother hood is affiliated, would not recognize the strike. "It is true," continued "White, "that the condition of the men is as bad as it was some five years ago, when the first big strike occurred. The contractors have violated their agreement with the brotherhood, but, nevertheless, the time to strike is not now." Joseph Barondess said he had ad dressed several mass meetings of tail ors and had advised them not to strike, but the strike spirit was strong, and he was afraid the leaders of the men would not be able to restrain them. CHOP REPORTS. Baked Apples Falling From the Trees in Norton County. The following is the report of the climate and crop service of the depart ment of agriculture for the Kansas sec tion for the week ending July 7: GENERAL CONDITIONS. A very warm week, the daily temper ature ranging from 3 degrees above the normal values, with brisk southerly winds. Hot winds occurred in some of the central and western counties. But little rain fell in the state this week except in the southeastern and central southern counties, where fair to good rains occurred: and even there a strip through Woodson and Coffey, and ex tending into Osage, shows but little rain. EASTERN DIVISION. Wheat is now mostly stacked, and in many of the counties threshing is pro gressing. In Franklin, the week being favorable, much of the flooded wheat will be saved. Corn is in fine condition in nearly all of the counties, but in Jackson it will need rain soon, and in Doniphan, Jefferson, Marshall and Riley it is needing rain; in Doniphan it is backward. Apples are a good crop in Chase and Lyon and are doing fairly well in Jackson, but in Elk, Montgom ery and Morris many were blown off, and in Shawnee they are dropping. The second crop of alfalfa is in stack in Morris and a good crop: it is being cut in Chase but not much is being sav ed for seed as much of it failed to bloom. Flax is a good crop, but in Wil son the ground is too soft for cutting. Haying has begun in Jackson, Leaven worth and Woodson. Oats are being cut in Nemaha but are considerably rusted: harvest is well along in Jack son while in Jefferson the oat crop is now in the shock. MIDDLE DIVISION. Wheat harvest is generally finished and most of the crop is now stacked. Threshing progresses, showing a good yield in quality and quantity, though in Dickinson, Rice, and Rush it is below expectations. Corn is in fine condition in Barber, Cowley, and Sedgwick; it is doing well in McPherson, is fair in Reno must have rain soon in Dickinson and Sumner, needs rain in Rice and Smith, is beginning to hurt in Jewell, and is damaged some in Cloud, Harper. King man and Republic. Apples are fair and the early apples are coming into mar ket: they are falling off in Cowley, Rice and Sumner. Oats harvest is finished in the south and progressing in the north: a short crop in Jewell and Hush. Grass is generally good, but is drying up in Cloud. Itiekinson and Smith. Potato vines are dead in Ottawa. The second crop of alfalfa is being cut in Rtno: it is a light crop. Fall plowing has begun in Cowlev and Sumner. WESTERN DIVISION. Wheat harvest is progressing in the cen tral and northern counties and has be gun in Sherman. Much wheat was lost by the winds in Ness in heading. Corn is in good condition in Iogan and looks well in Sherman: it is standing the drought well in Eec;itur and Ford: it is in silk and tassel in Ness: it is suffering for rain in Ness and Rawlins and is being hurt bv the drought in Norton and Thomas, and in some parts of Sheridan. Grass is fine in Rawlins, good in Ford, getting dry in Grant, curing in Ness and drv enough to burn in Scott. Apples are failing in Ness and are "baked" in Nor ton. GLAD HE IS OUT. Admiral Dewey Rsady to Go to China if Needed. New York, July 10. A Washington dispatch to the Herald says: Admiral Dewey congratulates him self that he is out of politics and free to go where he pleases and discuss such topics as are agreeable to him. His single plunge into politics seems to have satisfied whatever presidential ambition the admiral may have entertained, al though it has been suggested that in the event of the defeat of Mr. Bryan the gold standard Democrats will undertake to rehabilitate the Democratic party with Admiral Dewey as their candidate in 1004. The admiral is adverse to look ing so far into the future, and he play fully put the subject aside by saying that four years from now he would be an old man. This remark called forth a protest from Mrs. Dewey. Experience and a close study of the Chinese question enables Admiral Dewey to talk entertainingly and instructively on the subject. When it was sug-gested that it had been stated that he might volunteer to take the command of the American fleet if it beccmes necessary for the United States to go to war over China the admiral admitted that he is ready and anxious to serve his country in any portion of the globe. TOWNE SEES HARMONY. Declares That Democrats and Fusion ists Will Get Together. Lincoln, Neb., July 10. "I think the Populist leaders will come around all right," said Mr. Towne last evening in discussing the outlook for a complete fusion of Populists and free silver Re publicans with the Democrats in sup port of the ticket nominated at Kan sas City. "Of course, there are a number of leaders in the Populist ranks who feel that I ought to have been nominated with Mr. BiTan," he continued, "but I think that some of the plans proposed to smooth over the present friction will certainly carry through. It has been proposed that in Nebraska and per haps in South Dakota the Democrats give the Populists the entire state ticket in return for the presidential electors. It has also been suggested that perhaps in order to be sure to keep the Populist states in line it might be well to allow the national commit tee to name an out and out Populist for vice president with the understand ing: that the electors resulting there from shall vote for Bryan and Steven son. There have been a number of propositions along the same line made, and I believe that the missionary work that is being done now will result in the removal of the present friction." THROWN FROfvl SEATS. Rock Island Passenger Train Collides With Freight. The Rock Island eastbound passenger train No. 12 had a head-end collision with engine No. 714 Monday afternoon at 3:30 as it was coming into Topeka and the passengers received a severe shaking up and several were slightly in jured. The accident happened at the water tank in the yards. Engineer Gruell was in charge of engine No. "714 and he had run onto a siding next to the main track to let the passenger train get by. The main track and the sidetrack are side by side around the bend at this point. The water tank is on the side of the main line track and a pipe leads over to a stand about 50 feet from the reservoir, where engines may take wa ter whether they are on the sidetrack or the main line. The freight train was standing on the sidetrack in such a position that the en gineer could not take water from the pipe placed there for that purpose. Sometimes when this is the case the op erator at the office in the yards gives the engineer permission to go on to the main track. When Engineer Gruell found that he could not take water easily on the side track, he ran his engine out on the main track, the agent says without authority. It was so near train time that he would not have been given permission to take water from the tank had he been asked. Engine 714 had hardly stepped before the water tank when the afternoon pas senger which was running in on time crashed into it. Fortunately the pas senger was running at a low rate of speed at the time or what would have been a serious accident would have oc curred. As it was the jolt of the passenger train striking the engine threw the pas sengers from the seats and shook them up quite thoroughly. Mrs. J. M. Wood of Glenville, Wrest Virginia, was slightly hurt. She was riding in company with her husband, in the front end of the chair car. The sud den jolt dislodged one of the bottles of liquid fire extinguisher from its fasten ings and it fell and struck Mrs. Wood on one of her legs. Mail Clerk P. M. Rittenour had his hand severely cut by falling. Engineer Kees sprained his ankle In jumping. No damage resulted to the cars, but both the engines were badly smashed. The railroad officials place the blame for the accident with the engineer in charge of engine No. 714. PENSION FOR THOMPSON. Mr. Sanborn Writes Letter For One of John Brown's Men. Frank B. Sanborn, of Concord, Mass.. who attended the national conference of charities and corrections, has a deep in terest in the affairs of this state, as the following extract from a letter written by him to a Kansas man shows: "I wish I could interest the people of Kansas in the case of Henry Thompson, of Pasadena. Cal.. a son-in-law of John Brown who was badly wounded in the famous fight at Black Jack, or Palmvra, where Brown captured 23 Missourians under a Virginian, Capt. Pate, with a force of nine men in Brown's company. Mr. Thompson is now an old man and poor. In my opinion he ought to re ceive a pension from the state of Kan sas for services rendered to her in 1S56 which tried men's soults." Mr. Sanford has written a biography of John Brown, from personal recollec tions, having been identified with the early struggles in this state. LEADERS TO CONFER.

TO SUPPORT M'KINLEY Chicago Gold Democrats Held Same Position a.3 in 1898. Chicago, July 10. James H. Eckels, comptroller of the currency during President Cleveland's second adminis tration and now president of the Com mercial National bank of Chicago, i3 as firm against the election of William J. Bryan as president as he was in 1S9 and as a sound money Democrat will do his utmost to encompass the Nebraskan's defeat. Mr. Eckels says: "I did not support Mr. Bryan in and I don't intend to now. I shall op pose his election, this year with all the vigor and ability I possess.. I do not feel that I could stand to my convic tions by remaining merely passive and contenting myself with simply voting against him." KELP HELPLESS. Kansas Charities Workers Are in Session. Disenss Methods of Reform in State Institutions. READY FOR THE WORK The Detailed Plans Are Now Under Discussion. Meetim Will Be Continued This Evening. A number of men and women who hope to start a movement which will take charitable institutions out of poli ties in Kansas and provide for the sci entific study of criminality with a view to correcting conditions are holding a meeting in Topeka today. They are the directors of the Kansas Association of Charities and Corrections. The association is a direct result of the national convention of charities and corrections held in this city in May. It was originated during the progress of that convention, and at the session this afternoon arrangements will be made for holding the first annual meeting next November. The directors' meeting is being held at the Copeland hotel. Prof. F. W. Blackmar, of the state university, holding the chair of sociology and eco nomics, is president. Dr. C. R. Dixon, of Lawrence, secretary, and W. L. Hol comb, assistant state labor commis sioner, treasurer. The vice presidents are Rt. Rev. Frank Mlllspaugh, bishop of the Episcopal church, and Judge A. W. Dennison, judge of the court of ap peals. The objects of the association are set forth in the following articles of the constitution: First To make a careful statistical study of the conditions of the chari table and correctional institutions of the state of Kansas. Second To study the most improved methods of the management of chari table and correctional institutions. Third To organize all the workers in charitable and correctional affairs in the state into a co-operative body. Fourth To give proper support and help to the officers of such institutions by study, education, suggestion, favor able legislation and general informa tion to the people. Fifth To encourage scientific re search regarding thetreatment of crime, insanity, epilepsy, incorrigibility, etc., and the management of the institutions treating these diseases. Sixth To assist all prisoners and in mates at the several charitable and cor rectional institutions to a work of re form while within these institutions and especially to assist them towards work and an independent life after leaving them. Seventh To advance and encourage proper legislation for the support and management of said institutions. Eighth To ascertain the number and condition of defectives, dependents, and delinquents not in institutions and take measures for their proper care. Ninth To endeavor to remove all evil influences of partisan politics from the management of state charitable affairs. Tenth To take practicable measures for the prevention of crime, pauperism and degeneration. The meeting this afternoon is of a preliminary nature. In speaking of what it is hoped to accomplish through the association, President Blackmar said: "We will endeavor to work up senti ment throughout the state against the political government of state charitable institutions. We appreciate that no one political party can remove care of the indigent, insane and criminal classes from politics, and the sentiment against the present system will have to become general before anything can be accom plished. We will also pay particular attention to the scientific study of crim inals with a view of correcting condi tions. We believe that this work should be looked after as much as education, and so far but little along this line has been done in Kansas." A majority of the directors are pres ent at the meeting, which opened at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The complete list of directors is as follows: Gov. W. E. Stanley, Topeka; Mrs. W. A. Johnston, Topeka; Mrs. Phoebe Baer, ex-superintender.t girls' industrial school. Beloit, Media; John W. Brei denthal. state bank commissioner, To peka: L. A. Stebbins. Topeka; J. B.

Kansas Boy Returns From Tour of Investigation in Patagonia. Mr. Barnum Brown, of Carbondale, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Brown has just returned from a two years' trip in Patagonia. South America, where he has been making a geological collection for the American Museum of Natural History of New York city. Patagonia is at the southern extremity of South America. Mr. Brown is a graduate from Kan sas university. While in school he used to accompany the geological expeditions of the university which were made in the west. For the past few years, he has been connected with the American Museum of Natural History, and has made a number of trips through the western part of the United States in the inter est of this institution. After remaining at his home in Car bondale a few weeks he will conduct an expedition to the "Bad Lands" of Da kota. On this trip he will endeavor to dupicate some of the famous fossils of the Kansas university for the New York city museum. On his return from Dakota his ef forts will be confined to expeditions to foreign countries, and especially to South America. While he was in Patagonia he secured some fine fossils which were the an cestors of the armadillo and tapir of the southern part of South America. Mr. Brown says that the Patagonians although not civilized are an industri ous and peaceful people. He says they are tall, over six feet, and are of mag nificent physique. They are also very pleasant people to deal with. Their principal industry is that of cattle rais ing. BOERS SCATTER. British Predict a Speedy End ing of the War.

HOUSES DOWN THE INCLINE Stampeded Animals Run Down Kan sas City Cable Way. Kansas City, July 10. About a score of horses bought for the English cav alry broke away from their herders Monday and started for the Union depot by way of the Ninth street incline. The result was that several of the horses were injured, but none seriously. At the foot of the incline the cable slot is wide in places, and at other points the rapidly moving rope is ex posed. The horses stepped on the cable, slot and their legs were scraped and bruised. The boy who had followed the drove on horseback could not con trol them. The horses trotted and stumbled about in a circle under the incline sheds, none of them daring to start up the hill and there was no other way to get them out. Officers Phil Kirk and Jerry Treahy heard about the drove of panic stricken horses. They traced the bunch to the incline, and looking down from above saw the animals. The policemen went to the driver's help, and the three suc ceeded in getting the procession under way up the incline again. The horses retraced their steps slowly and gingerly, and when they had reached the top they were willing to be driven quietly back to the loading pens at the Belt line and Grand avenue. None of the cavalry horses were severely hurt after the adventure.. Not even a leg was broken. NOT READY FOR TRIAL Defendant in Goebel Case Asks For a Continuance. Georgetown, Ky., July 10.

Nearly 2,000 delegates were present in the auditorium when the as semblage was called to order by W. H. Welsh, chairman of the local executive committee. Addresses of welcome were made by Mr. McSvveeney, John K. Mc Mahon, state superintendent of-public instruction and J. Adger Smith. Responses for the educators were made by Dr. E. Oram Lyte of Millers ville. Pa., J. W. Carr of Anderson, Ind., and F. A. Foshay of Los Angeles. The address of the president was delivered by the incumbent. Prof. O. T. Corson of Columbus, O. Dr. William R. Harper, president of the University of Chicago, was the prin cipal speaker at today's session of the national council of education, which is being held in Charleston, in conjunction with the National Educators conven tion. Dr. Harper made a personal report as chairman of the committee on a na tional university. The report recom mended that ruch a university be not established. He believed that a mus eum of a national character should be placed in Washington, as there were many splendid institutions there, any one of which would form a splendid nucleus for such a school. The delegates seemed of the opinion that an institution of this kind would be used to foster certain colleges while other institutions of learning would de rive no benefit. Dr. Harper's report was received by the delegates but a resolu tion was adopted continuing the com mittee, recommending that further re search and investigation be made. Three name3 have been mentioned for president Prof. J. A. Foshay, superin tendent of city schools, Los Angeles; Colonel Francis W. Parker, president Chicago institute, and Mr. S. C.

The annual convention of the Window Glass Cut ters' League of America began here to day with about 90 delegates present. The most important business to come before the convention will be the ar rangement of the wage scale for the en suing year. Recently the officers of the Window Glass Biowers union made an agreement with the American Window Gias3 company, by which the trust is to have the best workmen in return for a block of stock given to the union. This action of the blowers' union officers will most likely be severely condemned and it is said that the window glass cutlers may take some action which wi'.l offset this advantage to the trust.

San Francisco Shippers Are Favoring the Kansas Boad. Good Fortune Due to Feeling Against Southern Pacific. Since the opening of the San Joaquin Valley line, the freight business over the Santa Fe into San Francisco has been surprisingly heavy. The freight department of the road reports that from 100 to 200 cars of stuff has been going into San Francisco from the east every day during much of the time, and the Santa Fe officials are consequently greatly pleased with the outlook. The feeling existing in California against the Southern Pacific company, which up to the present time has mo nopolized the railroad business in and out of San Francisco, is largely respon sible for the heavy shipments over the Santa Fe. San Francisco shippers bill freight east over the Santa Fe in pref erence to the Southern Pacific, and in shipments to them from the east re quire that the Santa Fe and not the Southern Pacific receive the business. The line has been open for freight traffic since May 15, and the freight earnings are proof of the splendid bus iness done. President Ripley of the Santa Fe is reported to have entered into an agree ment with the Oceanic Steamship com pany by which the closest traffic rela tions will in future be maintained be tween the two corporations. This gives the Santa Fe first class steamship con nections with all the principal ports of the Orient, and means that the Kansas road will become a great power In Oriental traffic. NEW CAR LIGHTS. Improved System Being Put in Santa Fe Cars. Chas. Dorman, the representative of the Columbian Electric Axle Light com pany of New York City, is in the city and with Milton Player is putting the new axle lights on thepassenger coaches of the Santa Fe.

This company was consolidated with all other axle light companies recently and the' axle light put in the market by this company was adopted at the standard. The Santa Fe will first equip all the cars which were formerly equipped with the electric lights. After this the ten new chair cars will be fitted with lights, and following this the rest of the equip ment will be fitted with the axle lights as fast as the material may be obtained. mr. coldwelxTresigns.

Peter Nissen Goes Through the Niagara Whirlpool in a Boat. Niagara Falls, N. Y July 10. Peter Nissen, of Chicago, or Mr. Bowser, as he styles himself, went through the whirlpool rapids of the Niagara river yesterday afternoon in the presence of about 10,000 persons in his craft, the Fool Killer. The boat was towed to a rock about a mile above the rapids and secured. The point was difficult to reach by officials from either the Amer ican or Canadian shores, who have been disposed to interfere with the much ad vertised adventure. Shortly after 3 o'clock Mr. Bowser was seen on his boat. A little later James LaBland pulled up in a row boat and towed the Fool Killer, with Bowser aboard, into the current. At 3:57 the start down the stream was ac tually commenced, but the fickle eddies kept the Fool Killer drifting about until 4:50, when she got into the whirl pool current and started for the final plunge. Passing under the cantilever, the boat took on the speed of an ex press train. Bowser threw his oar fax from him and waved his cap. The crowd saw the craft rise on the crest of a smooth wave and then dive into the leaping spray and disappear. The strange craft turned over and over like a top, rolling and plunging until it passed a bend in the river, and the most perilous part of the Journey had been passed. The buoyant craft kept on the crest of the waves until submerged again on the verge of the whirlpool. Shooting into the whirlpool the Fool Killer swung around and went down like a fishing bob, but rose again quick ly. For the next five minutes Bowser and his boat circled around the whirl pool. Shortly before 6 o'clock the Fool Killer was carried out to the edge of the rapids and a line was thrown by Bowser to a man on shore, who hauled him in. His first question was: "How is that for Bowser?" The Fool Killer is 20 feet long and four feet deep, and is made of two inch pine, with four air-tight compart ments. The keel weighs 1,250 pounds. Bowser warmed himself at a fire built on the shore and put on dry clothing, and appeared to be little the worse for his mad ride. "Had I known how bad the whirlpool rapids are I would never have attempt ed that trip." he said. "After I had passed through the first big waves I re alized that my hat had been washed off. Then some more waves came over me and I did not know where I was. I did not know what was going on until I came out in the whirlpool. During that brief time it seemed that a hundred hammers were pounding my head and my bot t. I never turned over, but we were -or. our side or end several times; and each time I thought that I was a goner. If it had not been for the shoulder straps which I put on the last minute I would have been hurled to death. I was conscious of nothing except the fearful sensation of being overwhelmed with blows from every side. I was mighty cold and tired when I came out at the whirlpool. Three or four times my breath was nearly gone and when the water would open and I would get a -breath of air I could not see my steering apparatus. When I got into the rapids the water took com plete control of the boat and I simply clung on and tried to keep my breath in my body." WHO BOWSER IS. Chicago, July 10. "F. M. Bowser" is the Falls shooting alias of Peter Nis sen, who resides at 57S Francisco street, Chicago.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. i ne Kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neplected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles ware to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on Its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar siz es.

David Overmyer Is of the opinion that the nomination of Adlai E. Stevenson for vice president will bring votes to the ticket in Kansas. "I think the choice of Mr. Stevenson was very wise," said Mr. Overmyer. "In the first place he. was twice candidate for congress from Illinois as a Green backer and never changed his views on the currency question and is a firm be liever in, the idea that the government should issu the currency and not the banks. He is a pronounced silver man and is therefore acceptable to our re form allies. In addition to this he is much loved and respected by all the people of Illinois and throughout the country. He is an excellent man and citizen. He is the friend of labor and organized labor is his friend. For years he has had the management of coal mines in Illinois and is the only man in that state who has never had trouble with his men. This Is because he is a good, wise and just man. His people own their own homes and he and they get along most admirably. When any little difference arises among them the whole matter is left to Mr. Stevenson and so great is their confidence in hirn that they never appeal from his decis ion. "Again he is a Kentuckian by birth and education and the whole south will warm up to him. Then he was vice pres ident during one term and made many friends and no enemies. He disagreed with Mr. Cleveland which was in his fa vor with people throughout the country and while this is true gold Democrats and mugwumps respect and like him. He is a candidate who will grow upon the country and in a very short time It will be understood by all that we made the very best selection that could be made." "Will he strengthen the ticket in Kan sas?" was asked. "He will strengthen the ticket In Kan sas. He is as strong as Towne and much stronger than any other man. Though always a Democrat he has been so much in favor with the reform ele ment that he was very prominently mentioned as a candidate for vice presi dent at Sioux Falls." Cotton Mills Olose.

Doubt About Ability of Water Co. to Transfer. Attorneys GarYer and Austin Say City Should Condemn. NO DOUBT OF POWER. Court Would Tlien Appoint the Appraisers. Dangers of Present Plan For Fixing the Yalue. Judge T. F. Garver, chairman of the legal committee of the Commercial club, and Mr. Edwin A. Austin, the Topeka at torney, who has particularly interested himself In the water works question, be lieve that the present water works plant should be acquired by the city by condem nation proceedings. Mr. Austin is also a member of the committee. Judge Garver is of the opinion that it would be satisfactory to proceed under the proposed agreement provided, the ap praisers were appointed beforehand and were satisfactory to the city officials. Otherwise he is in favor of commencing condemnation proceedings. Mr. Austin thinks such an agreement as proposed can lead at the most to simplv a friendly condemnation, on the theory that the wa ter works company can't "deliver the goods." Both Judge Garver and Mr. Austin say there is no doubt that the property can be condemned and purchased under such proceedings. "I think the proposed agreement is all right, provided the city knows who is to act as appraisers," said Judge Garver. "I would be opposed to the city going into the matter blindly, which it would if it was left to the water company to appoint an appraiser .and the two appointed to name a third. A controversy would prob ably result between the appointee of the city and the appointee of the water com pany, and the third appraiser, who I un derstand Is to be a hydraulic engineer, would likely side with the water company. There is no question in my mind that the water plant can be taken in under con demnation proceedings. Both the stat utes of 1891 and 1897 cover the matter. The appraisers would then be appointed by the court, and their report would be subject to the approval of the court. I think all the attorneys Interested in the matter agree that the franchise and contract ex pire in September, 19ol, but under the Law condemnation proceedings could be com menced now. "Topeka doesn't want two water plants and the litigation that would be liable to ensue. Any way out of the difficulty Is much better than for the city to go ahead and construct a new plant. This especial ly is true when it Is considered that the present plant can be acquired by condem nation." "In view of the fact that the water works people have said the city was not attempting to deal fairly with them." said Mr. Austin, "the meeting between Presi dent Street and the city authorities was a good thing. I think very little of the pro posed agreement, because I don't believe the water company can deliver the goods. There are hundrds of bonds scattered broadcast, and as the agreement is not a legal matter, the signatures of the hold ers of every one of the bonds would have to be secured. The bonds are made out to 'bearer,' and it would be next to impossl bleto secure the signature of every holder. Under condemnation proceedings the court could 'advertise out' all the bonds that were not secured, and for this rea son the entire number of signatures would not be necessary for the transfer of the property. "The only good the agreement can do that I can see is to result in a friendly condemnation. Representatives of the city and the water works company, with an outside party, might get together and agree on certain terms for the condemna tion of the property. They could then go into court and file a petition, and the property would be condemned and sold to the city under the provisions of their agreement. "That the property can be acquired by condemnation there is absolutely no ques tion. However, in the first place, the cir cuit court of .the United States would have to be applied to for an order making the receiver a party to such proceeding, or for an alternative order, discharging the property from his custody. The prop erty was- sold May, 1896, to Chas. F. Street and the sale confirmed in September, 1896: a deed was ordered to be executed to him and it was so executed and recorded; he, later, executed a deed to The Topeka Water Company of New Jersey, which has since mortgaged the property and franchises to secure an enormous new bond issue. Yet a receiver is continued in possession, reporting the rentals col lected by him and turning them over un der orders of the court to the water com pany of New Jersey. There is no further use "for a receiver of the property than for a fifth wheel to a wagon. Courtesy to the tribunal, however, requires that this state of affairs be brought to the attention of Judge Hook, in a petition with an alter native prayer for his discharge from pos session of the property, or leave to sue him in condemnation proceedings." President Diaz He-elected. City of Mexico, July 10. The electoral colleges met in the chief towns and cities all over the republic yesterday and cast their votes for president. The returns will come in slowly from the outlying states, but a great majority of the votes were cast for General Diaz, insuring his re-election for the term of four years, dating from December 1 next. The clerical and conservative parties made no nominations this year, the only formal nomination being that of General Diaz by the national liberal convention, held here in January.

Plans for. the Democratic national campaign of 1900 were outlined and practically agreed upon today at a protracted conference between the leaders of the party. The plan includes the appointment of a cam paign committee as agreed upon be tween representatives of the Democra tic, Sliver Republican and Populist parties at Kansas City. This commit tee will include members of all three parties and perhaps also Democrats not members of the national committee, but who are prominent in the councils of the party. This committee will, it is said, have charge in a measure of the principal working of the campaign and will work for fusion on state and con gressional tickets wherever possible. The press and executive committee, it is expected with one or two exceptions will be the same as last year. The per sonnel of all the committees was left in the hands of Chairman Jones. The question of national headquarters was also left in his hands. It was stated that Chicago would be probably select ed. Mr. Bryan said that he had made no plans as to the part he would take in tbe campaign and would not do so until he had conferred further with the party leaders. The subject was dis cussed at the meeting, as well as the amount of campaign work to be done by Mr. Stevenson, and although this feature will not be fully decided upon until after formal notification of their nomination has been given Mr. Bryan and Mr. Stevenson, which will prob ably not be for several weeks. Commit teeman Johnson of Kansas stated after the meeting that an understanding ex ists that Mr. Bryan will not tour as he did in the campaign in 1S96. but will make trips from time to time to the larger centers of population, remaining in Lincoln- a great deal of the time. Many visitors are expected here during the campaign, and Lincoln will in a way be a central point In the campaign. Mr. Towne may not announce his de cision In regard to the vice presidential nomination for several days, although several Populist leaders In the city stated that he might announce his with drawal to the Populist executive com mittee at once. Democratic leaders, however, state that the whole question has been postponed until after the middle-of-the-road state Populist' con vention to be held at Grand Island, Neb., July 20. The attitude that will be taken by that wing of the Populists and the strength developed by them will, It fs said, be closely observed as a cri terion in other Populist states, and should no serious deflection from the regular Populists on account of Mr. Towne's defeat In the Democratic con vention be noticed, a conference with the Populist leaders will then be held, at which time it is expected Mr. Towne's withdrawal will be announced. Senator Jones and Committeemen Stone, Campau and Johnson left for Chicago last night, where they expect to meet Congressman Richardson of Ten nessee, permanent chairman of the Democratic national convention and discuss the make-up of the various committees prior to their announce ment. True L. Norrls of New Hamp shire will, it is stated, take the place of Alex. Troup on the press and Norman E. Mack the place of Frank Campbell on the executive committee. Neville Renominated.

TOPEIvA STATE JOURNAi; TUESDAY EVENING. JTTLT 10, 1900. NO AGELIfillT, Persons Convicted of Murder In First Degree "ot Exempt. Death Sentence Most Be Im posed Irrespective of Age. CASE WAS APPEALED- That of a Boy Only 16 Tears of Age. Must Go to the Penitentiary For Life. The supreme court has held that per sons convicted of murder in the first degree, without regard to age, must suffer the sentence of death, which In Kansas amounts to imprisonment for life. This decision was rendered in a mur der case which was appealed to the su preme court from Harper county. It was known as the Kernstett case, in which a boy 16 years of aga killed his cousin. In the appeal the attorneys for the defendant sought to have him escape with a sentence for one year, contending that the severest penalty which could be parsed was imprisonment for one year, owing: to the age of the murderer, who was eligible, it was claimed, only to the reformatory or jail sentence. The supreme court of Kansas, fol lowing a decision of the Missouri su preme court, affirms the Judgment of the lower court and holds that age haa no significance and is no bar to the full penalty and thereby sends the defend ant to the penitentiary for life. He was convicted of murder in the first degree. The Kansas criminal code was taken from Missouri, so the decision of the supreme court follows that of Missouri, interpreting the same law in, the same manner. This is the first time this question has been raised in Kansas. THE SWAMP ROOT FIRE. The Company Ready For Business the Following Day. The fire which destroyed the immense 6wamp Root medicine plant of Dr. Kil mer Co.. July 1, waa the most dis astrous which has ever occurred in Binghamton. However, the Kilmers re sumed business next morning, though not at the old stand, which is a heap of smouldered ashes. While the firemen were yet pouring water on the burning Chenango street establishment, the Kil mers were arranging to do business eomewhere else. That this great Industry might not be crippled for a moment, through the courtesy of other prominent firms and citizens, the large factory and adjoining buildings on South street were vacated for the benefit of the Swamp Root peo ple, and possession was taken immed iately, and here, by Monday, July 9. this new, temporary factory was turning out Pwamp Root, the great Kidney Rem edy, in quantities of about 60,000 bottles per day, and in two or three weeks' time the full capacity of more than four times that amount will be produced. The immense demand for Swamp Root will thus in no way be interfered with. On the old site, with adjoining prop erty which has just been purchased. will be erected Immediately an absolutely fire-proof six-story structure, plans for which have been nearly completed. PASTEUR SERUM FAILED. Mother and Son Died of Rabies After Three Days of Agony. Paris, July 10. The Paris newspapers give ghastly descriptions of the hor rible agonies of a mother and son who died of rabies, although, after being bitten, they received the full treatment at the Pasteur institute. This is said to be the only case in two years where in the Pasteur serum, given in time, absolutely failed. At any rate, the doctors agree that these were the most horribly painful deaths ever witnessed. That they might note whether the serum would change the phenomena at tending hydrophobic death the doctors gave no morphine, though the tortures lasted three days. This is now de nounced as criminal cruelty. The Grand Trunk Railway System. Splendid service, superb scenery, en route to Niagara Falls, Muskoka and Kawartha Lakes, St. Lawrence River and Rapids.

LETTER FROM CHINA Throws Some Light on the Situation in that Country. Chicago, July 10. Chicago Chinamen are beginning to receive by letters and papers the first rews from home of the trouble now existing in the northern provinces of their native land. One of the most Intelligent Celestials in Chicago ia In receipt- of a letter from his brother, who is an officer in the Chi nese navy. Although the letter was written several weeks ago, at the first outbreak of the trouble, much that was written as to what would probably take place has transpired. In regard to the contents of the letter he said: "That the bloodiest war known In Its history is now brewing in China I have no doubt. The man who is now in charge of the military affairs in the region where the boxers abound is well versed in the arts of modern warfare- Before this war ends I would not be surprised if 1,000,000 Chinamen were killed. How many foreigners will met death I can not conjecture, but the number will be great. Ever since the Chinese learned a lesson from Japan they have been train ing themselves in the arts of warfare. They have as fine guns as any govern ment and well trained men behind them. "My brother writes me that the great majority of Chinese in the southern pro vinces are against the ruling powers and the boxers. There is a large class in China called pensioners, who will be with the government and as they are well trained soldiers they will do terri ble execution. "I would like to see the trouble settled without war but if it must come, it will be a good thing for the future of China. The ignorant Chinaman is of the belief that the missionary is sent there to rob him of his land and consequently this war will be for the home. The Chinaman has seen where Russia, France and Ger many have taken parts of their country and the taxes greatly increased under European rule. He is going to fight for his home and his life and he will not fight with knives or swords, as, a great many people suppose. The Chinaman Is slow to anger but when once aroused nothing can stop him. "China needs a change, a good religion to sweep away all those old suDersti tions. I believe the day is not far distant when the southern part of China at least will be Christianized." IX HARMONY'S INTEREST. Governor McMillin Withdraws From Tennessee Senatorial Race. Nashville, Tenn., July 10.

"P.efore the strike was declared off," said Treasurer Isaacs, of the executive board, "we had thirty-five wagons in commission. We have not disposed of a single one of these and we expect to largely increase this number as soon as the subscriptions begin to come In again. "We have decided to buy wagons very much like the carettes that were used so successfully in Chicago. These do not cost an exaggerated amount, and they are as comfortable as a street car. "They are light, but are large and airy. They can be closed up in bad weather just as can a street car, and very good time can be made in them. "The wagons that we now. have will continue to run and we will give the public as good service as possible, and we will charge only five cents fare. "Each wagon will bear a sign promi nently displayed to show that it is owned and operated by the union.'" AFTER TAX DODGERS. Wyandotte County Making Things Lively For Them.

This performance lasted several minutes. The governor, Frank Grimes, Frank Nelson and George Cole hitched their chairs and seemed to be nervous over the pending proposition. Mr. Clark's silence and evident Inten tion of ignoring them, causing the tin easiness. "Mr. Stevenson was a candidate for vice president some years ago. said Mf. Clark. "I did not support him them. I have not since changed my views." "Call again, gentlemen," said Mr. Clark, resuming the dictation of a let ter which had been interrupted.

Connecticut Girl Will Join Her Husband-Elect at Dawson City. New Haven, Conn., July 10. Miss Nellie Ryder, age4 20, started last Thursday for the Klondike to join her husband-elect. LJ. S. G. Myers, the agent of the United States weather observation bureau, in that district. The betrothal Was romantic. Myers was weather observer In this city less than three years ago. Miss Ryder and he met here. Her home is in Fails Village, Conn., where he often visited. The government ordered him to Eagle City in Alaska to start the weather bu reau, and that meant severing his friend ship. But the young couple announced their engagement. They tiri of the long wait for a transfer back to the states and by mail arranged for the wedding to be held in Dawson City, as soon as the bride arrives. Myers has several rich claims in the Klondike. Misft Ryder will sail for Seattle nrt Saturday. She Is accompanied by her mother to that city. Her friends have tried to dissuade her with stories of the hardships that Myers himself has related in his letters from the Klondike, but she answers: "If he can stand It and sends for me, I must go." HOW T0PEKA LOSES. An Example of Unjust Discrimination in Freight Kates. Oscar Swayee has a case which he will bring before the railroad commis sioners if he ever has a chance. It is a case of the heel of the corpora tion grinding down the suffering public and making rates detrimental to Topeka and beneficial to the metropolis of Ross villa. When the Republican flambeau club went to Rossville on July 4 the paraphernalia was shipped by freight and the bill from Topeka to Rossville was 57 cents on the Union Pacific rail road. The very same stuff was shipped back from Rossville to Topeka and the charge was 99 cents. The matter of un just discrimination in freight rates in favor of Rossville will be probed to the bottom. SAIN, 1-i INCH. Precipitation in Topeka Was Entirely Local. This is one of those damp, muggy days when everything sticks. Even the thertnometer on the roof of the Colum bian building stuck when It reached H. The minimum temperature up to 11 o'clock was 66 and the thermometer at 11 o'clock stood at 67. The wind was blowing from 12 to 16 miles an hour from the west. The rain up to 11 o'plock measured 23 hundredths of an inch. It fiid not rain at the south city limits. The forecast is "fair except showers fast portion tonight. Wednesday fair." The weather map shows generally fair weather throughout the country with the temperature under 100 except at Yuma and other warm points. DODGE THE ISSUE. District Court Culprits Absent or Tardy. Those charged with criminal offenses seemed a little backward about appearing in the district court this morning. The case of the state against Mary Nor man for robbery was tailed and Mary failed to appear. A warrant was Issued for her arrest. Paul Nesky was late, but arrived in time to be fined Jljo and given 30 days in the city Jail for selling liquor. Frank Meredith came in after his bond had been forfeited and he was given the same sentence on a similar charge. Charles Jockheck was his bondsman for $3". George MeGee failed to appear and H. C. Lindsey. his bondsmen to the ex tent of $2"0, will httve to hunt hiru up. McGee sold liquor. Some of the bonds may be collected, but it will be surprising if they are. BRIDE 75; GROOM 75. An Elderly Couple Joins Hands and Hearts. Judge Dolman married a couple this morning whose combined ages were ex actly 150 years. Seven score years and a half. That's getting along in life but Cu pid's darts seem to be Just as fatal at that age as any other. The smiling groom was A. Sebille and he gave his age as 73 years. The blushing bride w as Anna King and she blushed when she said 73 years. No permit from the par ents to marry was necessary. Judga Dolman tied the knot Just as tight as he could and the couple went away as happy as if they could not remember the days of '49. DIT0RCES BT WHOLESALE. Record is Broken For Early Months of 1900.

Having come to the elephant's stable, Dave gave him first candy, then cake and finally cried: "Now. boys." and slip ped a piece of tobacco into his proboscis, intending to get out of danger nd enjoy Old Columbus' disgust and anger. But before he could move Columbus seized him and whirled him upward through the opening overhead against the roof of the stable. Unhurt by his unexpected "rise." Dave dropped on the havmow. The other bovs below, supposing this to be the "trick" promised them, cried out in ad nil rat ton: "Dave, Dave, do that a;ain'" Dave, comfortably seated out of harm's way. earnestly -answered "No. boys!

A CONFIRMED VAGRANT. Thirteen-Tear-Old New Tori Boy Re fuse to Become Respectable. New York. July 10.-William Brower of 27 Sixth street, Jersey Clt, has given up in despair. The Hudson coun ty officials and the Jersey City police force say he has done everything a father could. They, too, confess that a problem is over their heads. The problem is an undersized, innocent-looking boy, George, aged 13 years, and Mr. Brower's youngest son by his first mar rlage.the most picturesquely bad young ster New Jersey has ever known. It will appear Incredible, but for nine years little George Brower has been an irreclaimable vagrant and thief. For nine years his family, public order and organized charity have been at work on him. At each attempt little George Brower weeps silently and pretends to repent. At the first opportunity there after he decamps and becomes a Ju venile tramp, again adding to his record of thefts. Twenty-four times has he actually been arrested, and the number of oc casions his offenses have been passed over for his father's sake or because perfect legal proof was lacking have been innumerable. The only punishment that has had the slightest effect on him has been dressing him in girl's clothes. Warden Warren of the Hudson coun ty almshouse on Snake Hill devised this plan, and It worked like magic. While in a petticoat and checked apron, in stead of the brown jeans the boys at this almshouse wear, little George was a paragon. For fear or the hated gar ments, which were worn three weeks, the boy behaved admirably during the rest of his stay on Snake Hill. But taken away from these he resumed his vagrant and thieving ways. He ia now behind the bars of the Hudson county jail, delivered over by father and officials of the state. The state board of children's guardians has taken up his case, and Judge Blair of Jersey City is expected to commit him within a few days to the reform school at Jamesburg, near Camden, for at least two years, MARITAL TIES UNBOUND This Was Field Day ia the Di Torce Court. This was divorce day in the district court and any one hunting for statistics to prove that marriage is a failure would have found plenty of data in the court room. G. H. Davis asked to be divorced from Nettie Davis because she left him sev eral years ago and said she was going to shut herself up from the world and enter a convent. He has tried to find her but failed. The divorce was granted without contest. Mrs. Bernice Clark was given a di vorce from Charles A. Clark and the grandparents given the custody of the tour children. Clark was ordered to pay $200 alimony and $15 a month for the support of the children. E. Reeder did not appear and his suit for divorce from Catherine Reeder was dismissed. Lulu Wilson seemed to have changed her mind about Henry Wilson and that divorce case was also dismissed. Monday afternoon the case of Flem ing B. Rise asking for divorce from Carrie L. Rise was allowed. The case of Fredericka Huhn against Magnus Huhn was dismissed The case of Ida Shrout against her husband, William Shrout, was contin ued for the term. In the case of J. L. Beardsley against Emma Beardsley the judgment was given the defendant. 3IR. JEWELL IS SICK. Topeka Capitalist Is Suffering From Consumption. .Mr. C. W.

LOWEST ON RECORD. Cotton Crop Makes a Bad Showing Throughout the Country. Washington, July 10. The monthly report of the statistician of the depart ment of agriculture will show the av erage condition of cotton on July 1, to have been 75.8 as compared with 82.5 last month, 87.S on July 1. 189S, S1.2 at the corresponding date in 139S and a ten year average of 87.9. The condition In the pricinal states la reported as fol lows: North Carolina 89; South Carolina 79; Georgia 74; Florida 78; Alabama 70; Mississippi 74; Louisiana 81; Texas 78; Arkansas 78: Tennessee T6; Oklahoma 82; Indian Territory 96. While there was some improvement during June In North Carolina, Texas. Oklahoma and Indian Territory amount ing to 3, 7, 7 and 12 points respectivefV. there was a decline of 6 points In South Carolina, 10 in Tennessee, 13 In Arkan sas. 15 In Georgia, 17 In Alabama, and 21 in Mississippi with the exception of North Carolina, where the average con dition on July 1 was 2 points above the mean of the July averages in that state the last 10 years and in the Indian Ter ritory the comparison covers only three years, the condition throughout the en tire cotton belt compares unfavorably with the ten year averages. Louisiana being 7. South Carolina and Texas 10. Arkansas 11, Tennessee 12, Georgia 13, Alabama IS and Mississippi 24 points below their respective ten year aver ages. Not only was the condition on July 1 for the cotton region as a whole the lowest July condition on record, but in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mis sissippi it was the lowest in the entire period of 34 years for which records are available, while in Tennessee it was the lowest with one exception and in South Carolina, Texas and Arkansas the low est with two exceptions in the same per iod of 34 years. Excessive rains, drown ing out the crop and followed by an ex traordinary growth of grass and weeds, are reported from almost every state, and the gravity of the situation is greatly increased by the general scarci ty of labor. In South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama. Louisiana and Texas consid erable areas will have to be abandoned. PLAYING IN BETTER LUCK. rFrom the Boston Transcript.! Here is a queer true story about some umbrellas. A lady who keeps a summer boarding house at the seashore near Bos ton went down the other dav to look the house over and find out what must be renewed. She found numerous umbrellas lft by former boarders, and. tying them together, she took the bundle to Boston to have them repaired. She stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle on the floor at her feet at the counter. When she had made her purchase she forgot her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly picked up an umbrella lying on the counter, think ing it was hers, or not thinking at all, and started off. Then the owner of the umbrella, a wo man1 standing next her. seized her and said very sharply, "Y'ou have taken my umbrella!" Of course, she apologized, feeling much cut up about It. and went on. forgetting in her fluster her own bun dle of umbrellas. The next day, on her way to Cambridge, she went to Hovey's and readily recovered her lost package of umbrellas, w-hich had been kept for her. On the car to Cambridge she noticed a woman eying her very closely. Present ly this woman leaned forward and said to her. with elegant emphasis: "Y'ou seem to have been more fortiin ate today!" It was the woman whose umbrella she had taken the day before. Reputation and the Presidency. Few presidents have gained In public estimation by their incumbency. Many have lost. Grar.t would have occupied a higher" pedestal had he fernained at the head of the army, and Lincoln and Garfield both died at a fortunate time for their fame. But, wearing and grinding as are th stress and strain, few. if any. have been broken by the tension. The White House has been exceptionally free from tragedies. Tay lor died from a surfeit of cherries and milk, and Harrison from a cold con tracted by riding bareheaded In a snow storm up the avenue from the capitol the day of his inauguration. Possibly Polk was the only president who suc cumbed to the wearisome burdens of his office. He died June 15. 1S49. three months after the close of his term, at the comparatively early age of 54.
