The news came in dis patches from General Chaffee and Ad miral Remey. Admiral Kemey's dispatch was ad dressed to the bureau of navigation, and read: "Advanced August 9 to Host Wu. Chinese tied after firing few shots. No casualties." A dispatch to the Herald from Che Foo, August 6. says: The Chinese plan for the recapture of Tien Tsin and the Taku forts has been sanctioned by the emperor. A dispatch to the Herald from Tien Tsin dated August 3. says: General Dorward is in command of the forces left to defend Tien Tsin. The Chinese have received reinforce ments from the south. The dnplieity of the southern viceroys accounts for this. The reform of Chinese means ruin to half a million officials. BOMBARDMENT RESUMED. Berlin. Aug. 14. A semi-official dis patch from Tien Tsin, dated August 8. says the Russian colonel, Woyczak, has received advices from Pekin announcing that during the night of July 31, the bombardment of the foreign legations was resumed and that the European church yard was desecrated. WORRIED ABOUT SHANGHAI. Paris, Aug. 14. Dispatches received from the French consul general of Shanghai show apprehension exists there as to the condition prevailing at Shanghai, and in its vicinity. Tiie French ministry have therefore decided to take precautions to defend the French concession at Shanghai. Information obtained by British sources says the allied troops were -wkhitt-twenty-five kilometers of Pekin, but the date of this- news was not ANNOYING TO BRITAIN. London, Aug. 14. General Chaffee's message announcing his arrival August 9 at Ho Si Wu stands as the latest offi cial intelligence of the march of the allied forces on Pekin. The English pa pers say it is rather annoying that their naval and military officers can not com municate with the high officials here while Admiral Remey and General Chaffee can do so by the Shanghai Canton wire. The Chinese reports are being dis tributed, far and wide in the southern provinces of alleged Chinese successes in the north. Secret inquiries at Canton show all the forts have been newly armed with 12 centimetre disappearing guns and that the garrisons are armed with Mausers and Winchesters. The Chinese have also been trying to engage a foreign electrician to lay mine3 in the bogue, or entrance to the Canton river. Dr. Marks, Li Hung Chang's phy sician, informed the correspondents at Shanghai this morning that Li could not go north on account of the weather and the unsettled state of the country. The doctor is moving his family from Canton, because he believes there may be an outbreak there. The St. Petersburg papers are cam paigning against the political activity of Great Britain in the Yang Tse val ley. The St. Petersburg Gazette has Interviewed a member of the United States embassy as to the reasons why the United States assumed a hostile at titude towards China. In view of Li Hung Chang's declarafion that Minister Conger could be sent to Tien Tsin on condition that the United States aban don the idea of a march on Pekin. The member of the United Slates embassy in question is quoted as saying the United States is indignant at being bargained with and expressed the belief that the United States would send many troops to China. MESSAGE FROM CONGER. Washington, Aug. 14. The state de partment at noon today received a ciph er cable message from Minister Conger, at Pekin. It was forwarded by the Chi nese authorities to Minister Wu here, who promptly communicated it bv Sec retary Chung to the state department. Mr. Adee. the acting secretary of state, Immediately consulted Secretary Root. No statement was made as to the con tents of the message. It was conjectured to be a reply to the last dispatch of tho state department to Minister Conger.but the officials refused to make its contents public. There was an atmosphere of acute sus pense in the state, war and navy depart ments thi ough the earlv hours of today It is generally recognized that the cam paign m China is rapidly approaching a critical stage. The latest news from the American advance, which inferentially included the forces of Great Britain. Japan and Russia, made it seem proba ble that the word 'Pekin" might be hashed1 over the wires at anv moment The international advance guard argu ing from the progress it already has made must by this time be close to the point on the road where China will elect to make her last stand in defense of her capital unless at the last moment she chooses the part of discretion and comes to the terms already laid down bv th' United States and tactilv agreed to bv the other powers. Thus the officials here momentarily are expecting one of two things, either a diplomatic backdown on the part of China which will mean a few days of fencing and negotiation before an armed escort is admitted to Pekin or else the news from Gen. Chaffee that he has encountered opposition at Chin Chai Wan or Tung Chow, two of the largest cities between Tien Tsin and Pe kin. Either of these developments is re garded as quite possible On general principles the government looks for a back down on the part of China, a slow grudging complaince with our demands hedged with as much delay as the intricacies which Oriental diplo macy can procure. At the same time if tie rabid ami-foreign element is in con trol in Pekin, as all advices seem to in dicate, it would not be very surprising if China relied on force to the last to check the advance of the internationals. The Chinese minister was at the state department early this morning and had a comparatively lengthy Interview with Acting Secretary Adee. Both parties; to the conference declared that there was nothing new to be said. This was before the Conger message arrived. At this early meeting the minister said that he had no news from China and had trans mitted nothing new to the department. At the same time it was strongly sus pected that China had made some furth er tentative move as a final effort to thwart the determination of the United States in the firm stand it already has taken. Secretary Root said that he had re ceived nothing further from General Chaffee and had no reasons to believe China had made any move towards peace negotiations. The fact that the Chinese government has not yet replied to the American note of August 8, makes it seem questionable whether she in tends to do so. Even allowing for delays in transmission there has been abundant time for a reply to this message and its absence is causing some remark in the state department. It is regarded as quite possible that both the Adee note of Aug ust S, and the subsequent reply of the state department to the Chinese edict, announcing the appointment of Li Hung Chang as peace envoy, may be now hung up in Shagnhai, through fear on the part of Li Hung Chang as to hi3 own fate if such documents are forward ed to the imperial household. SIX MILES A DAY. If Allies Have Kept Up Their Record They Must Be Near Pekin. Washington, Aug. 14. The American commander in China in a dispatch of just three words received at the war department sent a thrill of exultation and expectancy throughout official quarters by announcing his arrival at So Si Wu, only 33 miles from Pekin, last Thursday. The last heard from him be fore this was at Yang Tsun, which had been captured after a. hard fight, and word of his movements since then had been eagerly awaited. Thursday he was 18 miles beyond Yang Tsun. I-ang Fang, the place where the ill-fated Seymour expedition met its fate and 7 wwfe mMk lh Collis. P. Huntington, Millionaire Railroad Magnate, Who Died Last Night turned back, had been left behind. The battle of Yang Tsun was fought on the 6th, and the advance to Ho Si Wu was accomplished on the 9th a march of 18 miles in three days. This was four days ago, and at the same rate, of pro gress Chaffee is even now fairly within striking distance of the walls of Pekin. It was a consummation which the war department had awaited calmly, as it accorded with calculations, although the advance has been more rapid than was expected. The dispatch from Chaffee, convey ing so much in so few words is as fol lows: Chee Foo, Aug. 10. Adjutant Gen eral, Washington: Arrived Hospiuw (Ho Si Wu) yesterday. (Signed) "CHAFFEE." Word of the advance soon spread throughout official quarters. In the en thusiasm of the moment a report got about that this was the day for the act ual arrival at Pekin. But the war de partment had not a word of the ad vance beyond Ho-Si-Wu. It was deemed hardly likely that the march to Pekin could have been made since last Thurs day. At the rate of progress, six miles a day, from Yang Tsun to Ho-Si-Wu, about 24 miles would have been covered in the last four days, and up to today this would still leave the international forces nine miles from Pekin. Viewed from any standpoint, the advance to Ho-Si-Wu was of utmost importance. not on ly strategically, but also in showing that communication was open back to Che Foo, that the expected opposition from Chinese mordes had not been sufficient to prevent the steady forward movement and in the influence it would exert upon the Chinese government. Brief as the dispatch is, it conveys much information beyond that specifi cally contained in its few words. Al though it is not stated what force has arrived, the war department accepts it to mean that this is the international force which first took Pei Tsang and Yang Tsun. It has gone steadily for ward along the left bank of the Pei river, keeping on the main road which skirts the river bank. At Yang Tsun the railway crosses the river and branch es off to the west. Now the forces have left the railway far in the rear and are depending upon the highway and the river. Ho-Si-Wu is a place of consider able size, and the largest tewn between Tien Tsin and Ching Chi Wan. The latter place and Tung Chow are the two cities of considerable size in the line of advance after leaving Ho-Si-Wu. It is surrounded by orchards and gar dens, and is not a place likely to have afforded opportunity for strong defense. It is the highest point on the Pei river where the river water is depended on. as the native wells are the source of supply on the remainder of the route to Pekin. As it has now taken five days for Chaf fee toreport the advance to Ho-Si-Wu. iContinuOd on Sixth Page.) HUNTINGTON DEAD Millionaire President of the Southern Pacific Expires Suddenly at a Hunting Camp in the Adirondacks. IfE WAS AFORTY-XINER And a Pioneer in Transconti nental Railway Building. Was in Good Health an Hour Before His Death. Utica, N. Y., Aug. 14. Collis P. Hunt ington, president of the Southern Pa cific, died at Pine Knot camp near Durant on Racquette lake in the Adirondacks at 12 o'clock last night. New York, Aug. 14. Mr. Huntington's private secretary, J. E. Gates, received a message at his residence, the Hotel Majestic, this city, this morning, an nouncing the sudden death last night of the millionaire at Racquette Lake, N. Y. ilr. Gates left for Camp Pine Knot on the first train early this morn ing. Friends of the Huntington family in this city at once sent a cablegram to London addressed to the Princess Hatzfeldt, the adopted daughter of Mr. Huntington, announcing the death of her father. A dispatch received from London yes terday by the Associated Press said the Princess Hatzfeldt was booked to sail for the United States on board the steamer Majestic, August 15. DEATH "WAS SUDDEN. trtica, N. Y., Aug. 14. Collis P. Hunt- intgon, president of the Southern Pacific railway, died at Pine Knot lodge, his camp in the Blue mountain region, early this morning. Mr. Huntington went into the woods last Thursday afternoon and was in apparently good -health. Friday and Saturday he was about his camp noting the progress of the improvements which he had been carrying on this year. Sun day he remained at his lodge very quiet ly, receiving the calls of several friends from the neighboring camps. Yesterday he continued in good health and made no complaint whatever of illness. He retired last evening at 11 o'clock ap parently in the very best of health, and so far as can beascertained slept sound ly as no disturbance was heard from his room until a short time before his death. Moans proceeding from Mr. Huntington's room aroused members of the household and they immediately went to his assistance. In about ten minutes he was dead. 1 It is supposed that Mr. Huntington's death was caused by heart trouble. W. Wrest Durant, who was at Blue Mountain lake was at once notified and he drove to Racquette Lake as soon as possible and thence to the Huntington camp. Mr. Durant telephoned to this city for an undertaker and it is expected that Mr. Huntington's remains will be brought on a special train this after noon or in the morning. DETAILS OF FINAL ILLNESS. Racquette Lake, N. Y., Aug. 14. C. P. Huntington, president of the South ern Pacific Railroad company, died at his camp, Pine Knot, in the Adiron dacks at about midnight. Apparently well on retiring at 11 o'clock he was taken suddenly with a choking spell, which was quite common with him, and was not thought to be seriously sick; but he became worse. As soon as the seriousness of the attack was realized, a messenger was dis patched to the neighboring camp of Governor Lounsberry for a doctor, and he was on hand in half an hour. Mr. Huntington died without gaining con sciousness, not more than three quar ters of an hour having passed between the attack and his death. Mrs Hunt ington and Mr. Huntington's secretary, G. E. Miles, were at his bedside at the time of his death. Early in the day of Monday Mr. Huntington appeared to be enjoying the best of health, walking about his preserve, and taking a trip on his pri vate steamer the Oneonta; "and he re marked to his friends that he was feel ing unusually well. His adopted son. Archer M. Huntington, was notified at an early hour this morning and is hour ly expected to join Mrs. Huntington. After much difficulty and delay the news of the death was delivered to W. West Durant, who was jointly connect ed with Mr. Huntington in the Rac quette. Lake railway. Mr. Durant will contribute his boats, teams and ser vants toward making the final arrange ments for the disposition of the body. Mr. Huntington, wife and servants ar rived at Durant on Friday, August 10, in their private car. The steamer Oneonta was awaiting their arrival at the wharf to convey them to their mountain home. Pine Knot camp. MARKET LITTLE DISTURBED. New York, Aug. 14. Mr. Huntington's death had little effect on the general stock market. Even his own stocks, chief among which was Southern Pa cific, was hardly disturbed. Some large lots of Southern Pacific came out in the initial transactions, but they -were promptly taken by banking interests known to represent the late millionaire, and as a result the price of Southern Pacific soon rallied from its one point decline. It seemed to be the general opinion of those conversant with Mr. Huntington's affairs that he had left his properties in such shape as to per mit of easy handling by others. A meeting of the Southern Pacific in terests and certain prominent banking interests was held early today. The Southern Pacific road and other corpor ations all carry large deposits in this city and are frequently in the money market. It seemed to be the opinion of the bankers at this morning's confer ence that no apprehension need be felt because of Mr. Huntington's death. Wall street estimates the fortune of Mr. Huntington at from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000. HIS MANY INTERESTS. New York, Aug. 14. Mr. Huntington at the time of his death was president and director of the Southern Pacific company; president and director of the Pacific Mail Steamship company; presi dent and director of the Southern Pacific Railway company of California, director of the California Pacific railway, direc tor of the Galveston, Harrisburg San Antonio Railway company; president and director of the Guatemala Central Railway company and director also in the following:: Guf, West Texas Pacific Railway company, Louisiana Western Railway company, Mexican International Rail way company, Morgan's Louisiana Texas Railway and Steamship company, Newport News Light Water company, New York, Texas Mexican Railway eompany.Old Dominion Steamship com pany, Old Dominion Land company, Oregon and California Railway com pany, Western Union Telegraph com pany, Detroit Gas company, Fuente Coal company, and Metropolitan Trust company of this city. THE NEWS IN 'FRISCO. San Francisco, Aug. 14. The news of Collis P. Huntington's death caused a great sensation in this city where his movements, both in railway and pri vate life, have been watched and stud ied with keen interest. There was an air of great sorrow around the office of the Southern Pacific company today. Expressions of regret at the passing of the president of the company were heard on every side. Although Mr. Huntington spent most of his time in the east, he maintained a residence in this eity and spent two or three months here each year. J. C. Stubbs, second vice president and traffic manager of the company, was deeply moved at the news of Mr. Huntington's death. Mr. Stubbs ha3 been intimately associated with Mr. Huntington for over twenty years. Speaking of his death today Mr. Stubbs said "The news of the death of Mr. Hunt ington is paralyzing. I can hardly be lieve that such a hale and hearty man has gone to the great beyond. He used to tell me that he expected to pass the century mark and I really thought he would realize his expectations. His "dominant will and keen perceptive fac ulties were the foundation of his suc cess. Nothing daunted him and to lose him now grieves me deeply." James Krutschnitt. general manager of the Southern Pacific company, said: "The news was a terrible shock to me. At first I thought there must be some mistake, but the confirmation of his death removes the hope that I had that the news was unfounded. I am greatly grieved. His death removes one of the greatest men in the country. It was during his last visit here that we had a talk regarding the terms of our exist ence and he told me that his father had lived to reach the age of 96 years, and from what he said I knew that he ex pected to live even longer than that. I am extremely sorry that his death has come at this time, just when all his plans have been about successfully cul minated." H. E. Huntington left Houston, Tex., last night for San Francisco, but has been informed of the death of his uncle and will doubtless proceed east at once. H. E. Huntington was Mr. Hunting ton's personal representative in this city and it is thought here that he will succeed to the management of, his uncle's vast possessions. SKETCH OF THE MAN. Collis Potter Huntington was born In Harwinton, a small town in Litchfield county, Connecticut, October 22, 1821. His ancestry was Puritan, and he was one of nine children. When fourteen years of age he left school and began to earn his own living. His wages were seven dollars a month. In 1873 he made his business entrance into New York. He was successful from the start, and, at the age of twenty-two, he and his brother, Solon, opened a general store in Oneonta, Otsego county, New York. The "gold fever," aVising from the California discoveries, seized Mr. Huntington in 1849, and he started for the fields, going by way of the Isthmus C Panama. His capital at the outset was $1,200, but, by skillful manipulation, he in creased this sum to $5,000 on the way to his destination. With the foresight which has always characterized him, Mr. Huntington selected Sacramento as the base for his operations. Here he associated himself with a partner in the business of sup plies under the firm name of Hunting ton Hopkins, and in seven years Mr. Huntington had made a fortune. The need of a transcontinental rail way had become obvious, and Mr. Huntington realized this. But the un dertaking was gigantic. Together with six of his Sacramento friends, and in the face of ridicule, he defrayed the ex penses of the first surveys. In 1861 Euccess crowned his efforts, and the Central Pacific Railroad com pany came into existence, with a capi tal of $8,500,000. The Southern Pacific was this re sourceful man's next undertaking and in 1S84 he organized the Southern Pa cific company of Kentucky. This concern operates twenty-six railway and steamship lines. Mr. Huntington was president of the South ern Pacific company, and also of the Guatmala Central railroad, one of the" finest lines in Central America. He was also president of the Pacific Mai! Steamship company, and his ship yards and dry-docks at Newport News. Va.. are among the finest in the world. Mr. Huntington numbered among his ancestors Samuel Huntington, one (Continued on -Sixth Page.) liiGALLS DYING, Life of Brilliant Eansan bear ing the End. Alarming Telegram Froiri Mrs. Ingalls Received. KOW IN NEW MEXICO. She is With Her Husband in Las Vegas. Son, Sheffield, Leaves For Father's Bedside. GIVES UP AT LAST. Fighting For a Year With Fatal Throat Affection. Has Occupied Prominent Place in the Nation. Atchison, Kan., Aug. 14. Ex-United States Senator John J. Ingalls, who is in Las Vegas, N. M., for his health, is sinking rapidly, and his son, Sheffield Ingalls, today started for the bedside of his father. A telegram from Mrs. Ingalls received here today announced the serious condi tion of Mr. Ingalls, who has been in the southwest for over a year for a z mm '1 Ex-United States Senator John J. Ingalls Who is Reported to Be Dying in New Mexico. throat difficulty. It has been believed here for three months that he was fatal ly 111. John James Ingalls was born in Mid dleton, Mass., December 29, 1833, and is therefore sixty-seven years old. He was graduated from Williams college in 1855, studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1S57. He Came to Kansas in October, 1858, and first made his home in the new town of Sumner, started a few miles south of Atchison. The town proved a failure, town shares in a few years be ing obtained "without money and with out price, and would not command $10 a dozen," according to one of the set tlers. In the summer of 1859 Mr. Ingalls was elected delegate from Atchison county to the Wyandotte constitutional con vention, being at that time in his twenty-sixth year, and he was the recog nized scholar of the convention. In 1860 Mr. Ingalls was secretary, of the territorial council; in 1861 secretary of the state senate; and in 1862 state senator from Atchison county. In September, 1863, in company with A. H. Horton, he leased the Atchison Champion, and edited the paper until the return of John A. Martin from the army, January, 1865. He was nomi nated for lieutenant governor by the Republican Union state conventions of 1862-3 and as an anti-Lane candidate was defeated. He was elected United States senator to succeed S. C. Pomeroy, taking his seat March 4, 1873, and he held his seat in the senate until his overthrow by the Populist party in 1890. when he was succeeded by W. A. Peffer. The name of Senator Ingalls is thor oughly identified with the best litera ture of the state, and he was a frequent contributor to the old Kansas maga zine. During the war Mr. Ingalls was judge advocate and aide, with rank of major, to General George' W. Deitzler of the volunteer state militia, partici pating In the battles of Westport. Lex ington and Independence during the Price raid in the faU of 1864. He was married September 27, 1865, at Atchison, to Anna Louise Chese brough, the daughter of a prominent merchant of New York City. He was the father of seven children, six of whom are still living. OPPORTUNITY. Master of human destines am I! Fame, love and fortune on my foot steps wait. Cities and fields I walk: I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate! If sleeping wake, if feasting rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate. And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate Condemned to tailure, penury and woe Seek me in vain and uselessly implore. I answer not and I return no more! The above sonnet written by ex-Senator Ingalls shows the touch of the mas ter in literature. Had he shunned poli tics and devoted his brilliant energies to literary work he would have surely been known as one of the foremost authors of the age. He was at home in invective and one of the traditions of the capitol at Washington is his reply to Senator Daniel Vorhees of Indiana. He was an uncompromising enemy and a passive friend. A prominent Kansas editor re cently took occasion to administer a. se vere drubbing to Mr. Ingalls., The reply was as follows: "By some subtle association of ideas this reminds me of the senatorial elec tion of 1879, perhaps the most senation al episode in Kansas history. It was the morning of the last day. I was alone in my headquarters at the old Tefft house, a foul, squalid, filthy kennel, which was the boast and pride of To peka twenty years ago. The soft coal fires smoked and smouldered and sunk in the rusty stoves. The carpets were covered with dry mud from the streets. I had been up all night. The weather was bitterly black, bleak and cold. "My friends and supporters had all gone to the state house for the final fray, whose issue was uncertain, and I was sitting like Marius amid the ruins of Carthage. It was within ten minutes o ft he hour of meeting for the joint convention, when one of the members of the legislature came into my room. "He had been my friend during the canvass; had attended all my caucuses, and voted for me at the previous ses sions. He was one of my original sup porters without money and without price. He seemed uneasy and flus trated. I asked him why he was not at the capitol, where one vote might de cide my fate. He closed the door and said with much stumbling and blunder ing speech, that he had recently bought some type- and a press, and was short $700. The draft, he said, was in the bank, and he had to have the money before he went to the state house. "I suggested that the bankdidnotclose until 3 o'clock, but he replied that the Horton managers had promised to let him have the cash at 10 o'clock and he wanted to be able to tell them he did net need it. He added that he should regret to be placed under such obligations by my enemies. Queer situation, wasn't it? Odd that he should have selected Just that particular moment for his intima tion? But it was an emergency. There was no time for deliberation. I had to think quick. The roll call would begin in 15 minutes at the farthest. The margin was desperately narrow, and the result to me. of incalculable immeasureable consequence. You remember Stockton's story. of the 'Lady and the Tiger.' Do you suppose the editor got his $700 loan from me? Or from the other fellows? Do you suppose he voted for me or for Horton? Do you suppose that he had really bought new type and a press? What would you have done if you had been in my place ?What could have made me think of the droll incident in connect tion 'with the rasping editorial?" The editor was a member of the leg islature at the time to which Mr. In galls referred and it was not difficult to solve the inference. During recent years Mr. Ingalls has devoted himself to literature and has been connected with the New York Journal in an editorial capacity. Take the Santa Fe fast train for Chi cago. Short line. Ifl A HOTPLACE. American Garrisons in Yiscaya Islands Harassed. Losses Are Greater Than in Any Previous Month SINCE LAST JANUARY. Insurgents Are Well Supplied With Smokeless Powder. Amnesty Proclamation Had Little or No Effect. Manila, Sunday, Aug. 12. Reports from the Viscaya islands show that there has been increased activity among the insurgents there during the last six weeks. The American losses in the is land of Panay last month were greater than in any month since January last. General Mojicawin Leyite and General Lucaban in Samar are harassing the garrisons, shooting into the towns durr ing the night and ambushing small par ties, firing and then retreating upon the large bodies. The rebels possess an. ample supply of ammunition and are organized toa considerable degree. The Americans have garrisoned three towns on Samar island, two of which shelter a tenth of the original inhab itants, who suffer from the continual "sniping" of the rebels from the sur rounding hills. The third is without any native inhabitants, the rebel outposts, a mile away preventing their return to their homes. General Lucaban punishes the islanders who have any relations with the Americans. Cebu is likewise disturbed. Barring those who have taken the oath of allegiance to the United States, the rebelB are imprisoned in Manila. When amnesty was proclaimed it practically was without effect, and the expectation that the proclamation would accomplish much in the unexpired time is daily diminishing. The banks, under government pressure have restored the exchange rate of two Mexican silver dollars to one gold American dollar. General MacArthur has ordered the acceptance of Ameri can money for all public dues at the above rate. Newspapers containing the national Democratic platform have arrived. The reference therein to Philippine indepen dence and to a protectorate tend to strengthen the extreme anti-American element in its increasing attitude of delay and obstruction. It is believed that radical steps for a settlement here will be impossible before the election. General Wright and others have re turned from a trip to Benguet province; where they recommend the immediate establishment of a convalescent hospital. Benguet is tranquil. The Philippine commission, it is now understood, will make all future civil service appointments. Several minor engagements occurred last week in Luzon. The rebels used smokeless powder, which they must necessarily have obtained by filibuster ing. SAVED BRYAN'S BOY. Gen. W'heeler Rescues the Youngster From Impend ing Heath. Chicago, 'Aug. 14. General Joseph Wheeler, commander of the department of the lakes, saved the life of William Jennings Bryan, Jr., the 12 year old son of the Democratic candidate for the presidency. The lad visited General Wheeler, and the latter, after" his first greeting, turned to his work arwl allowed; the youngster to amuse himself as besc he might. Young Bryan found a loose chair caster and a big bundle of rubber bands. These he tied into a long string and then, securing the caster to the bot tom, went to a window and begam bouncing the piece of iron up and down on the sidewalk, 75 feet below. The gen eral, engrossed with his labors, paid no attention to the boy who gradually be came so interested in his play that he leaned farther and farther out of the casement of the window. Gen. Wheeler happened to glance up a few minutes la ter and was horrified to see the lad. hanging with his whole body over the sidewalk and only the toes of his shoes visible, clutching the angle of the win dow. Rushing to the window, he pulled the lad in by his legs and landed him safely on the floor. TWO DAYS WITHOUT FOOD. Army of Porto Ricans March to the Capital for Work. San Juan, P. R., Aug. 14. More than a hundred laborers, with their wives and children, reached this ctiy this morning after two days of weary marching, with- -out food, from San Lorenzo, a distance of 27 miles. The procession, made up of all shades and conditions, led bv a col ored woman, with an American flag, and carrying banners on which were in scribed the words "Give us work.'' maiched quietly through the city to the executive mansion, where halt was made. The spokesman then called upon Civil Governor Hunt and stated that the ob ject of the visit was to ask the govern ment to open a road between CagHyus and San Lorenzo, thus enabling the labor- ing classes of the district to get a liveli hood. He pointed out that at present there was no work of any kind in that district, and that the people were with out bread and were suffering. Mr. Hunt replied sympathetically, and promised that the government would ilu all in its power to relieve the situation. The delegation immediately retired, well pleased with the interview, and the pro cession left the city an hour after it had entered and began the return journey. Orders were promptly issued for work t be begun on the road tomorrow and for the employment of a-s many persons as possible who might apply from the dis trict. Official investigation shows that the dis trict in question is very badly off. and that no work of any sort has been in opera tion there for some time. Weather Indications. Chicago, Aug. 14.

Cresceus is Easily the Best Horse of His Class. Ketcham's Great Trotter Con' sidered the Champion. AFTER BOSTON STAKE. The 2 0,000 Purse Thought to Be at His Mercy. Tommy Britton and John Nolan Simply Playthings. Chicago, Aug-. 14. Cresceus made the first mile at Washington park Saturday In 2:0t, which is within half a second of his record, the fastest mile ever trotted in Chicago, and Tommy Britton, who was but a little behind the big stallion from Ohio, went over the track as fast as he had traveled this year. The race did one thing conclusively, and that was to prove that Ketcham has a. wonderful horse in Cresceus. When he clipped his record at Columbus and took the second and third heats In 2:06 fiat Cresceus at once began to be the most discussed harness horse in America. The performance was remarkable and rightly horsemen turned to the bulldog looking horse to beat the records of Direc turn and Alix. The work. cut out for the big fallow Saturday proved so easy for mm that no additional lines could be ob tained on his ability. What he could have uone had he been called upon to exert himself is matter for speculation. For the first time since Ketcham brought out his wonderful trotter he gave him this year a slow, careful preparation for the campaign. Cresceus was not kept in the stud, but was jogged and worked all winter and spring solely with a view to putting him in the best possible condi tion. Up to the time he started against Tommy Britton at i'ittsburg July 4 he had trotted no fast miles, but he was known to be in tine form. The local stallion proved to be no great match for him, and Cresceus won without beating 2:10. His next start was al Cleveland, where he defeated John- Nolan, G rattan Boy, Tom my tsruton, cnarley rlerr and Kmpiuiill in 2:07fe and 2M, the fastest two. heats ever trotted by a stallion. This was less than three weeks ago. In his race at Columbus he won the fastest three heats ever trotted by a etaliion, steiminsr his first mile in 2:ti2. repeating in ZMi and coming back a third time in the same notch. The three heats average 2 Only four trotters have beaten the Colum bus record ot Creseus, and Directum is the only stallion amomr them. In the year that Directum gained his champion ship mark of 2:uri4 he had not trotted faster than 2:1U up to the middle of Au gust. Indeed, not Alix, 2:03; Nancy Hanks, 3:tw, or Azote, 2:04. had equaled J:oo at this stage ot the campaign in the years when they made their best records, if all goes well with the chestnut son of Robert McGregor it is all but a foregone conclusion that be will yet improve enough to wipe out the championship record of Directum, and a good many horsemen say he has a lighting chance to beat the record of Alix. Cresceus is one of the horses entered in the $20, mm stallion race to be trotted ut the England breeders meeting at Bos ton next month. There is manv a slin 'twixt the cup and the lip, but nearly all the turfmen now believe he has the big race about as good as won, barring acci dents. It is said that Ketcham last week retused an otter ot tstt.Uuu for his horse conditioned on his winning the Boston stallion race. Individually Cresceus falls short of be ing a handsome horse, but viewed as a racing machine he is almost without a lauit in structure. His neck is straight. his hips are somewhat rough and he lacks style. On the other hand, he is one of the most powerfully formed trotters In the world. He is built on the lines of a draft horse. Jack Currv savs his muscu lar development through the stifles and propelling parts surpasses any horse he ever saw. Cresceus is a light chestnut, or sorrel, standing nearly sixteen hands hijrh. His action is remarkably easy apparently when he is moving at too speed. He car ries a good many boots in his races, being protected all tne way to tne Knees and hocks. His owner seldom drives him except in races, an assitant giving him all his exercise. Mr. Ketcham said Sat urday that Cresceus had never been driven a really last mile in his work. .Britton and Cresceus met in numerous matches in the paiit few years and the ecai norse rounu no ailTlcultv in rterpatine jveienam s pnue at any stage ot tne game. It was not until this vear that the colors 01 sntton were lowered to his recent con queror. But the contests this season re sulted in conclusive victories, and the question ot the better horse has been set tied for all time. The results previous to Saturday were not fully conclusive, but to those who witnessed the races at wasnintrton oam there is but one claim ant for Directum's honors. TO SELECT PLACE FOR TIGHT. Fitzsimmons Favors Coney Island for Bout With Sharkey. New York, Aug. 14. Bob Fitzsim mons and Thomas Sharkey will meet Tuesday to arrange final details for the battle scheduled for August 25 and se lect a battleground. As yet the men have not agreed upon a club, but the best offer in the hands of the stake holder when the fighters, meet .to can. sider the bids will he awarded the con test. The Cor.ey Island and the Twen tieth Century Athletic clubs will be the most prominent bidders. Although the latter organization has been successful in pulling off several big fights, it is said that the- principals favor the Coney Island club far their coming eontest. O Rourke wants the contest to take place at -Ooney Island because he has an interest in, the club. Fitzsimmons is dissatisfied with his treatment by the management of the Twentieth Century club, and he says he would .prefer Coney Island if O'Rourke's club will offer per cent of the gross receipts. Fitzsimmons was surprised when in formed that there was only J41,W0 in ho house in his fight with, Ruhlin. The ex -champion thought that the reecipts were nearer $60,000, than the-figures" an nounced. He believes that more, money can.be taken at Coney Island;as- his fight isvith. Jeffries drew $65,000, and. Jef fries' other fights drew nearly sb much. In speaking of Jeffries challenge to day Fitzsimmons eaid- he .W'ould; rather meet the champion than Sharkey, but as he had posted a forfeit, and signed articles with the sailor, he.dld not think it would be fair to the latter ta declare the fight oft "If I -am .successful with Sharkey." said Fitzsimmons, "I will meet Jeffries, on August 31, providing I xlon't injure my hands in my fight with -the sailor." WOOD IS SUSPENDED... Great Cincinnati Pinch Hitter Refused to Be Farmed Cincinnati, Aug.. 14. Manager? Robert Allen, of the Reds, dropped into Hoe mer"a hotel early yesterday afternoon nd called Catcher Bob Wood aside. When they were alone Manager Allen said: 'Here is a telegram from President Brush requesting you to join Comiskey's VV hue btockings at Minneapolis. Trans portation will be furnished you." "Want to farm me, eh?" asked Wood. 'Wen, if any farming is to be done I will do it myself up at Qit-ard. I hardly think that I am ripe for a minor league? I have 110 objection to Mr. Brush sending you to a minor Jeague, but I draw the line when it comes to myself!" "You don't want to go?" "I won't go!" "Would you mind telegraphing- to President Brush that you refuse to go?" "Why, you claim to be a manager! Why don't you telegraph him? You're not paralyzed! I am in good physical condition and ready to work! I shall go and get a physician's certificate to that effect!" "You had better do as the club dic tates," said Manager Allen. "I most positively decline to be farm ed," said Wood. "My mind is made up. and let the consequences be what they will. My record as a player needs no ex plaining. The public knows that I have made good, and that satisfies me." "Then you may consider yourself sus pended for the balance of the season." "All right; let it go at that. I guess I won't starve." Amos Rusie and Dick Cooley can now sympathize with Bob Wood. The second bes.t hitting catcher in the country is or dered to join a minor league club De cause he has incurred the ill will of a manager. He refused to be relegated to a minor club and now is suspended for the balance of the season. This is one of the things that caused the ball players to get together and organize for mutual protection. FIGHTERS COMPARED. Measurements of Fitz and Ruhlin Given for a Reader's Benefit.

M'BRIDE TO COACH YALE. Ex-Captain of Old Eli Team Will Be Assisted by Walter Camp. New Haven, Conn., Aug. 14. It was stated today that Malcolm L. McBride, captain of the Yale football team of will be head coach of the Yale eleven next fall. His chief adviser in the work of de veloping Yale's team will be Walter Camp. McBride's assistants in the coach ing will be rrank A. Hinkley, captain in ISM and lsiio: Frank Butterworth. the famous full back of his day, and W. T. Bull, lsfcs. who had charge of the kicking department of football at Yale last sea son. 1 nere will ot course be otner 01a players to assist in the coaching, but these will be the most conspicuous. Mr. Camp does not exepct to take any active part in the coaching. He will. however, keep in closer touch with the game than he has for the past five sea sons, and will resume his old role of cmet adviser to the team. American League Race. There are exciting times ahead in the American League pennant race. .Nearly every team in the legue has been strengthened during the past week, and, judging from the efforts put forth, there is more than one team after the plums. Chicago is still in the lead by a good margin, but had either Milwaukee or Indianapolis been able to keep up a little hotter pace during the week it would have been uncomfortably close for the white stockings. Comiskey a men carried a guod ambulance load of cripples on its journey to Kansas City, and the blues put the whites below the .600 mark. The team seemed to take a brace after it reached Minneapolis, and has put up a strong game, and is now again on pros perity row. Both Milwaukee and Indian apolis have been unable to get out of each other's way during the week, and both have been sliding down the scale to gether. The downward tendency of the hoosiers and brewers has saved the white stockings from unpleasant company. Detroit has been doing the leading stunts in the race for the past seven days. After putting the whites to the bad they proceeded to hew their way through the rest, and the tigers have really become dangerous to the leaders in the race. The white stockings have only won five more games than the ti gers, and at the rate the wolverines are playing it does not seem a very long way to the top. All teams have been alike to them, and they have played almost a3 well abroad as at home. That the sym pathetic, umpire-chasing crowd of fans at home, however, has been an aid to the team goes without saying. The teams below Ietroit in the race have been playing at their natural gait. Cleveland has been making a brave ef fort to catch up to its early form, but has found the journey rough. It took an unexpected brace and captured two games from Indianapolis. Buffalo has been playing in the ruck since its great spurt of two weeks ago. The bisons' spurt was short. -Minneapolis has secured some new players and has played a more gingerly game the last week. The acquisition of -Catcher Kichols from the orphan bunch snouid neip tne millers wonderfully. Kansas City got a great lift bv lakirie -Comiskey's men into camp, eiingman joined tne team during the week, and the shortstop should strengthen the team. National League Race. Interest in the national game almost played out during the torrid weather of the past week. Happily, hardly a single team changed its position in the Na tional League.and it has been a remark ably even battle all around. Chicago returned from the east a little over a week ago and has given the home tans an idea of w here the team will fin ish. It has met two of the strongest of the eastern teams and got the worst of the encounter. Brooklyn came and ere- THE FOOD DRINK Xsa Grain-O is not a stimu Iant, like coffee. It is a tonic and its "effects are permanent. A successful substitute for coffee, because it has the coffee flavor that al most everybody likes. Lots of coffee substi tutes iff the marketj but only one food drink Grain-O. AH poem i 15c and 25c sented a strong' front at the start and' 100K two games right off the reel. Two ancient box artists were the cause of the downfall of the champions in the last two games, and Chicago succeeded in breaking even on the series, which can not be considered exceedingly compli mentary, being on the home grounds. After the champions came the quakers and the phillies took two out of three games. It was not a case of hard luck, but simply showed up the relative strength of the three teams which enter tained the Chicago fans. From all ap pearances Lof tus' men are playing their limit, and it does not seem likely that they will make any serious inroads on the percentage of those above them. Brooklyn is simply making a runaway race of it and is practically out of harm's way. The bridegrooms are playing the same steady game that characterized the invincible orioles of old. They are fighting for every inch of vantage and play like clockwork. Chicago, on the other hand.since the team returned from the east has shown brilliantly only in spots, and no such freckled playing will ever win championships. Leaving out of consideration possible accidents.the team that .L.ottus has now patched together win witnout doubt play out the season. They will probably attain to their full speed in the closing days of the season, but no one looks for a higher position for the orphans than they occupy. Nothing startling has transpired among the rest of the teams. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Pittsburg are all play ing top-notch balL Boston is quite close to Chicago. St. Louis has improved slightly, while Cincinnati has fallen down just a little. New Tork has shown occa sional spurts. NATIONAL LEAGUE. AT CHICAGO.

Racing at Harlem. Chicago, Aug. 14. On account of a heavy track at Harlem there were num erous scratches in all of the events, ex cept in the steeple chase. Miss Bennett and Bonnie Lissak, w ho were entered in the fifth race, with a good field of 2 years-olds, were drawn, leaving Silver dale a 3 to 5 favorite. Hansford won the second race, but in doing so cost his owners, W. H. May Son, $905. The colt was entered to be sold at $500, but he showed to be such a high class horse that L. A. Legg bid $1,000 on him. Then James Cushing bid $1,400, but both dropped out when the owner raised it $5 more and thus managed to keep his own horse. Ferns Def ears Connelly. Buffalo. Aug. 14.

Prince Alert, 2:02, Is. the champion hop pled pacer. They are shy on good jockeys at the Chicago tracks. Arion, 2:07, recently worked a mile in a:io at tteaavnie. Coney a mile in 2:02 is the world s rec- rod for a five-year-old. Hettie G., 2:06i4. look9 to be a candidate for the mare's pacing record. E. R. Bowne has Robert J., 2:01'4, at Westfield, N.

Five of the nine horses recently started in a steeplechase at Chicago fell before tne race nnisned. It is said that Thj Maid, 2:05. after being distanced at Detroit, came out and worked a mile in z:Q2!l. It is said that Steve L'Hommedieu gave Pawnee Near Fort Riley. for the trip, and when they reached Pawnee not one, of them went to the .boarding houses as had been expected, but they cooked in their wagona and lived. on the edge of the town site. On the day for the opening of the leg islature they went to the new stone building and held a session, which con sisted of organizing and adjourning to Shawnee Mission in the eastern part of the state, where, despite all the efforts of the governor, the remainder of the session was held. Pawnee did not make a town. The cholera broke out the next year at Fort Riley and the people fled. The state house stands out on the plain, deserted, the roof gone and the interior a place for the hiding of coyotes and .sandhill owls.' The state has been asked to pur chase the old ruin and preserve it for future generations, who will doubtless appreciate it as a reminder of the ef forts of the first-comers to make this a great city, and for a time it seemed likely that they would succeed. Kansas has seven capitols, ending with the present handsome building at Topeka, not yet completed; but none has a more romantie history than the old Pawnee state house, and none ap peals more strongly to the lovers of the picturesque.

Most of the members of the Cincinnati team laugh when asked how Allen com pares to Buck Ewing as a manager. Jack Cronln won for Detroit Saturday from Chicago by hitting over the left field fence. This ia the second fair ball ever sent over the fence. Pitcher Fitield having performed the feat in 3Sii. In the third inning Patterson made a safe hit to short right field, and Holmes, who was playing in close, fielded him out to Billon, the first time a Dlaver has been retired on a similar hit in Betroit in years. The men who at present run baseball in this country have done more to kill the national game within the las"t three years than have all the other untoward circumstances that have occurred in base ball since it became the game of the American people. Pittsburg Dispatch. King Dickson, who played in the infield for the University of Pennsylvania nine last season, has been signed for the Wor cester team, and will probably play sec ond base. Taylor, of Chicago, and Phlllippe, of Pittsburg, have been the most effective pitchers in the country. In 22 games Delehantv's extra hits have included but three doubles. Long did not make a hit in five con secutive games up to yesterday. McGraw has made 48 runs in 47 games. Collins has batted safely in 18 out of the last 20 games. J. Ira Davis has been laid off bv St. Joseph for indifferent playing. Keeler and Jones each made 13 hits In five games, August 1-6, inclusive. Denver Wits in the Western league. with Pueblo last. Minneapolis has suspended George Yea- ger. Jimmy Gardner, the former Pirate, now that the weather is warm, is Ditching great ball for Indianapolis. Philadelphia lost four games In succes sion on its last visit to Chicago. Our friends, the champions, have not been faring ar-y too well in Chicago this year. On their first trip to that promis ing suburban settlement thev won two games and lost one. The fourth was post poned because of a cloud that rained soot and sott coal. A little moisture mixed with it made it pass for a rain cloud On tne next trip tne Brookiyns lost tnree games In succession, and Hanlon got out or tne game imagining tnat ne naa re ceived a stroke of heart failure. This time the Chieagos have won two and the Brookiyns have won two. The total for the series ia four games won for Brook lyn and six won for Chicago. Had the other western nines shown evidence of ability to do business after that pattern it is fair to assume that the Brooklyn nlavers would not be so far in the lead today that they would be guessing what kind of presents would be given to them for winning the championsmp a second time. Possibly the Brookiyns are not going to fare so well "on their visit to the west, and if they show any inclination of falling back the remainder of the league will be snarling at their heels inside of ten days like a pack of famished wolves chasing a provision sledge over, a Siberian highway. .New xorit Telegram.

Traffic Far Ahead of Any Tear in Road's History. Grain Inspector Compelled to Increase Force. The amount of freight business offer ed the railroads during the month past ia something astonishing. In fact it is a record breaker. Unusually large shipments of machin ery and farming implements have been received in all portions of the state. And while the shipment of this year's crop of wheat has not been begun in earnest, enough has been offered the roads to trouble them in handling it. The problem presented to the Santa Fe at Argentine on last Saturday was a rather difficult one to solve. The yards at that point were practically fill ed with cars of wheat. Twenty-two switch engines were kept busy all the time in doing the switching. There were about 1,400 car3 in the yards, 596 of which no disposition had been made. Three hundred and thir teen more were consigned to connecting lines. The connecting lines had all the business they could very well attend to and could not get the 313 cars out dur ing the day Saturday. Besides this about 500 cars more were made up into trains to be sent to Chi cago over the Santa Fe. Conditions are practically the same at different points on all the other roads doing" business in Kansas. The Missouri Pacific has been com pelled to hastily put down a. half dozen switch tracks in the Cypress yards at Kansas City to accommodate the cars that are waiting to be unloaded and so scarce is track room that some of the wheat trains are being left on the sid ings outside of the city until they can be unloaded. The receipts in Kansas City from Kansas alone run upward of nearly 500 cars each day and it keeps the inspec tion department at Kansas City, Kan., hustling to look after the grain that is coming now.- State Inspector McKen zie increased' his working force several days ago, but even now he hasn't enough men to do the work and may be compelled to employ more. The movement of grain into Kansas City is becoming so heavy that the lines originating the grain, needing all their available equipment to bring tbe stuff in from the west, are showing an in clination to want the agreed rates of 7 cents to the river and 10 cents to Chi cago and Minneapolis on grain moving east or north from Kansas City. The terminal lines are also short of cars; in fact are unable to supply a sufficient number for the stuff offered and it is doubtful if any road cares to make any new contracts for shipment of grain at rates under the agreed basis, which was to have become effective August 10. That the bulk of the shipments are be ing made under old contracts no one doubts, however, and it is probably not so much the agreement to advance rates as the inability to furnish cars that has given the grain situation an apparently forming tendency. The situ ation is evidently only apparently forming as yet, for all east bound roads but the Alton were represented on the board of trade yesterday by buyers ordinarily using their lines, many of whom bought heavily. Most of the roads are taking care of flour shipments or, in any event, most of the flour shipments are being taken care of at the old rates, the agreement to advance them August 10 being prac tically, if not absolutely, without effect. SHOPS FOR GUTHRIE. Santa Fe Road to Make Extensive Improvements. Guthrie, O. T., Aug. 14. A! corps of surveyors began work today in the Guthrie yards of the Santa Fe railroad, preparatory to the location of railroad shops here. A round house and a coal chute are soon to be constructed and several miles of switching tracks laid. The round house will accommodate six engines. The terminal facilities to be established will be sufficient to accom modate the three lines now centering here, the Santa Fe proper, the Eastern Oklahoma and the Guthrie Western. The Guthrie Western is now a Rock Island line, but the Santa, Fe, by agreement, will do the switching in the local yards. Trains of the three lines will run into a union station. Henry E. Asp, the Santa Fe solicitor for Ok lahoma, says that the facilities will be increased and that a full system of shops may be located here ultimately. CHANGE OF CONDUCTORS. Separating Seniority of Two Divisions Makes Many Changes in Trainmen. From the Newton Republican.! The seniority on the Middle and Cot tonwood divisions having been separa ted, the following conductors will return to Emporia for service on the Cotton wood: Dowd, Pierce, Andrews and Krapff. Conductors Stivers, Vaughan and Dow ney will remain here to represent the mileage. Conductor Roach has exchang ed rights with E. H. Judd, and will re main here, while Judd will keep the Bar nard branch run. Extra Conductors Cash, Short and iPttinger will return to Emporia. Boyle and Miner will again come to Newton and take a run between here and Dodge City. Boyle has been on the long runs between Argentine and Newton and Miner has been on the Abi lene branch. Conductor Purcell, who has been on the Strong City branch passen ger run, will go to Kansas City and take a through run on the main line. Brake men Ira, Savage and Dunlap will remain on the Middle division for the present at least. TO IMPROVE A CAR. Private No. 200 Used by Rock Island Officials, Goes to Repair Shop. Private car No, 200. the one kept at Topeka for the use of the Rock Island officials at this point, has been sent to the Chicago repair shops. While the. car is in the shops at Chicago it will be remodeled. One of the most important changes will be the addition of a kitchen. Another will be that the windows in one end of the car will be replaced with sashes about twioe as wide as at present, thus making an ob servation end to the car. The kitchen will be a great Improvement to the car, as the need of one has been felt for some time. Besides the changes in the interior, the car. will be refurnished and refitted anew. The work to be done on the car wll keep it in the shop about a month or six weeks. ROCKY FORD MELONS. First Shipment Given Out of 1,000 Cars to Be Used. The first shipments of the Rocky Ford melons have been given to the railroads. The season lasts about six weeks. In this time about 1.000 cars of melons are sent over the Santa Fe. To prepare the cars for this is some thing of a task. Each car requires about 12.000 pounds of ice before the melons are loaded; 6.000 pounds of ice is used in cooling the car, and after the car is cooled an equal amount is used in re icing it. It is then ready to be loaded. In shipping the car to Chicago about 6,000 pounds more of ice is required. BETTER FOR TELEGRAPHERS. Operators on the Baltimore Ohio Secure Advance in Wages.

A special to the Times from Port Townsend 'says: "The City of Seattle arrived at noon to day bringing considerable gold from Skagway. Senator Mason of Illinois, was a passenger." tried for catarrh, and believing It worthy my endorsement. I gladly accord it." Catarrh of the abdominal organs is very much more common In summer, than in winter time. This form of ca tarrh might be appropriately classed as summer catarrh. Summer catarrh In- eludes catarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the liver, catarrh of the duodenum, catarrh of the upper bowels, and catarrh of the lower bowels. Catarrh of tha stomach and catarrh of the duodenum is also called dyspepsia, in which there ia an especial aversion for fatty foods Catarrh of the liver is usually called liv er complaint. Catarrh of the upper bow els, diarrhoea; of the lower bowels, dys entery. Acute catarrh of the upper bowels ir children is called cholera infantum; in, grown people it is called cholera morbus. All these are exactly alike in their pa thology. The remedy which will cure catarrh of the stomach will cure catarrh of the bowels and liver. Peruna will cure catarrh wherever lo cated.

To be just out of reach of disease, is safer than to engage it in a death struggle with doubtful results. lne secret ot keep ing just out of reach of disease is in keeping the blood pure and rich. Pure blood offers no breeding ground for disease germs. Rich blood creates a vigorous vital force to resist dis ease. This ideal condition of the blood is best obtained by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

The watermelon patch now claims the attention of the boy who knows not the meaning of the admonition: "Thou halt not covet." The kind of partisanship which places "the good of the party" above family and friends is the kind that ia a men ace to the country. The gang of conspirators in Chicago defrauded fraternal insurance com panies for years, but it remained for a Kansas institution to run them down. A few women are inclined to rebel against the entry of the shirt waist man into society, but he has the sym pathy of the great army of woman kind and has come to stay.

While the assassination of King Hum bert was a serio-as matter it occasioned what might be called the most ludicrous International joke of the century. The Italian government, through the usual channels, complained to the United States that anarchists were allowed to plot against kiigs in this country. And then the governor of New Jersey took occasion to publicly announce his astonishment and regret that such things as anarchists existed in his state. If a composite expression of public sen timent could be taken, like a composite photograph, it would reply to Italy: If European governments wosrld keep their cum at home there would be no such plotting in the United States. And that public sentiment would say to the governor of New Jersey: Since your state is the breeding place of trusts, the very monopolization of lawlessness, you. Invite anarchy, and a few ordinary criminals among you lend respectability. They ought to be encouraged. J HOLLIDAY'S BUGABOO. To the Editor of the State Journal: Milwaukee comes to the front with a train of 40 Der cent in population within the past decade. An increase like that in Topeka would have given us a total of over 40,000 inhabitants. Why didn't we get 'em? State Journal. In 1SS0 when prohibition went into ef fect in Towka. Topeka had twice the population of Lincoln, Nebraska. Today Lincoln has twice the population or 'io peka, Lincoln has its Omaha; Topeka has its Kansas City. Kansas is a far better state than Nebraska, as far as agriculture is concerned. Both have had intense Republican and Demo-Pop administrations. Hence we must con clude that our internal policy of pro hibition has worked especial injury to the cities of Kansas, especially Topeka. Answer thia If you can. History does not record a great aggregate of popula tion anywhere, built on the prohibition plan. Respectfully, C. K. HOLLI DAY. Mr. Holliday has a wonderful faculty for seeing the bugaboo of prohibition in everything that requires it for the pur poses of bolstering up his argument. Chicago was greatly disappointed in the census but no one claims that prohibi tion was responsible. Wichita, Leaven worth and Atchison have not been trou bled with the prohibitory law and still they fail to show as large a gain as To peka. Lincoln has one advantage over Topeka which Mr. Holliday has entirely overlooked freight rates which encour age the location of wholesale houses. The railroads are doing more to cripple Topeka than any other agency. GLOBE BIGHTS. IFrom the Atchison Globe. Most people just believe things; they don't know them. An Atchison man's name Is Stephens, but his daughter's name is Stephen. Some subjects of conversation should be shunned as religiously as pie at mid night. When a widower call3 on a girl, the gossips say it means something. It does; it means he is lonesome. The neighbors complain that the only time a girl in their part of town stops grumbling to her mother, is .when she sings "Cheerfulness." An Atchison woman of forty finds by reading over back diaries that her heart has been broken just 17 times, and that she longed for the cold tomb twice a year during her hammock days. POINTED PARAGRAPH3 From the Chicago News. A young man may die but an old. man must. Continued cheerfulness is a manifest sign of wisdom. Maids of honor are those who do not indulge in flirtations. From the mother's point of view an ugly baby ia an impossibility. The woman question for centuries has been, "What did she have on?" A perfectly collected man is one mtxa has been gathered to his fathers. It is no credit to a man to keep his word because no one will take it- When ghosts walk they probably en ter houses with the aid of skeleton keys. The difference between, an attorney and a lawyer is pretty much the same as the difference between an alligator and a crocodile. CLEVELAND'S HEALTH Prevents Him From Accepting Anti-Imperialist Nomination. Indianapolis, Aug. 14. The executive committee of the Anti-Imperialist league met this morning to arrange the pro gramme for the convention, which will have its opening session at Tomlinson hall at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. The Nationals, who are anti-imperialists but who are also anti-silver, anti-Bryan and anti-McKinley, whose avowed purpose in meeting today is to swing the Anti-Imperialist league members to support them in naming a third ticket, met this after noon at the assembly room of the Com mercial club. The convention was called to order by Thomas M. Osborne, of Au rora. N. Y., and Louis R. Enrich, per manent chairman, delivered his address. There has been talk of nominating Gro ver Cleveland fur president, and some of the Nationals say he is in sympathy with their movement. Robert A. Widemann said this morning that he had talked with Mr. Cleveland less than a week ago, and that Mr. Cleveland would not accept on account of ill health. RAILROAD APPEALS. Judgment of $4,000 Against M. X. T. Taken to Supreme Court. The M. K. T. Railroad company has filed in the supreme court an appeal from a decision of the district court of Neosho county by which a judgment for J4.000 in favor of D. W. Puckett was rendered against the company. Puckett was an employe of the com pany and was seriously injured while working witl a lifting jack. The railroad company claims that it was in no way responsible for the acci dent and denies liability for the injuries, and asks the supreme court to set aside the verdict of the lower court. Chili Wants Cars. Santiago de Chill. Aug. 14, via Gal veston.

Mack of New York, recently transferred to the the execu tive committee. NO PULLING BACK. Topeka People Will flake Bryan Visitors Feel at Home. Much enthusiasm is manifested in the movement inaugurated by the Commer clal club to make the Bryan notification here August 23, a great non-partisan demonstration. It is for the good of the city to extend a most cordial welcome to the distinguished guest and the hosts of visitors that will be here to partici pate in the exercises. Business men and representative citizens, regardless of po litical creeds, are joining heartily in the plans proposea. Major T. J. Anderson, secretary of the Commercial club, is delighted with the cordial manner in which the suggestion has been taken up. "It is progressing admirably," he said, this morning, "and Topeka'a reputation for hospitality will not be allowed to suffer. There will be a big crowd in our city, of course. And no one will be able to go away and call this a hog town. We won't allow it." A competent citizens' committee has already been created to look after the city s part in the notification. The per sonnel of this committee attests the non partisan, or rather composite, character of the movement. Its members are rep resentatives of Populi3t. Democratic, Silver Republican, along with Republi can members of the Commercial club. They will give all assistance in their power to the Populist state central com mittee to perfect the details of the noti fication. These plans were heartily entered Into and active work begun at a meeting held in the rooms of the Commercial club this morning. The committee of nine appointed by the club for this meeting consisted of P. I. Bonebrake, D. O. Crane, D. J. Greenwald, M. D. Henderson, A. C. Babize, C. G. Blakley, T. J. Coughlin, W. C. Stephenson, F. P. Mac Lennan. This committee conferred with the representatives of the several party or ganizations present. There was but one thing in view the making of the noti fication a huge success. P. I. Bonebrake presided over the meeting, which for mulated the citizens' joint committee as follows: George Wagner, J. M. Padgett and George Clark, representing the Popu lists. T. M. Hanley, Frank Thomas and David Overmyer, representing the Democrats. M. C. Holman, A. C. Babize and Jas. Larimer, republicans, representing the Commercial club. D. O. McCray, T. M. James and S. H. Jones, representing the Silver Republi cans. The citizens joint committee pro ceeded to business at once. George Wagner was made chairman and F. S. Thomas secretary. After appointing a finance committee, adjournment was taken until 5 o'clock this afternoon, af ter which the committee expects to meet daily. The financiers who have already started after the funds neces sary are: H. A. Heath, chairman; T. J. Coughlin, D. T. Greenwald, M. D. Henderson,- Robert Semple, George Wagner and John C. Waters. Members of the committee favor the holding of the notification exercises at a late hour in the afternoon. The dis position is to hold it off to nearly sun down, when, it is conceded, the enor mous crowd that Is expected would suf fer less from oppressive weather on the state house grounds. The Populist state central committee, it was announced, is working actively in the surrounding counties to send in big delegations to the notification. At the meeting of the citizens' joint committee, this afternoon, sub-committees on transportation, programme, mu sic, printing, etc., are to be named. Members of the Commercial club and outside of the committee, are to be re quisitioned for these duties. LEAGUERS COMING. Bryan Will Receive Two Notifi cations in This City. Denver. Aug. 14. Wrilliam J. Bryan will receive notification of his nomina tion for the presidency by the United States Monetary league at Topeka. Kan. on August 23, the date of the People's party's notification exercises. Judge A. W. Rucker, of this city, wno is cnair man of the notification committee ap pointed by the monetary league's na tional convention, notified Mr. Bryan of this plan by wire, and Mr. Bryan assent ed to the arrangement. Judge Rucker will deliver the address of notification on behalf of the league and T. M. Pat terson of this city will make the speech on behalf of the People's party. BRYAN IS THOUGHTFUL Will Not Divide Honors With McKinley at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 14. The Chronicle to morrow will say: Col. W. J. Bryan will not be in Chicago on Tuesday, August 28, the day of the great parade of the Grand Army of the Republic. Rather than embarras Presl den McKinley by a counter demonstra tion, the Democratic nominee for the chief magistracy will defer his arrivel to the next day, or perhaps two days later. This decision was reached after Mr. Bryan was made acquainted with the programme and the part to which he was assigned. New York, Aug. 14. The National As sociation of Democratic clubs received a personal assurance today from Wil liam J. Bryan that he will attend the quadrennial convention of that associa tion in Indianapolis on October 3 and 4. It is announced that during the three weeks the association's headquarters in this city have been opened, 125,000 new members have been received into the or ganization. NO TRUTH IN IT. Report That Oom Paul ia Contribut ing to Bryan Fund is Denied. New York, Aug. 14. Touching a dis patch from Pretoria and printed in London under date of August 10. in which it was stated that President Kruger is contributing between $2,500, 000 and J3.000.000 to the election of Wil liam J. Bryan and also that Webster Davis had received $125,000 from the same source, as a contribution for the Democratic campaign; Charles L. Pierce, consul general and treasurer of the Boer relief fund and P. Lauter Wea sels, special commissioner of the South African republic of this city, today gave out a denial of both statements, adding to the dental the following: "The Boers have other and better use for their funds. England is in desperate straits for the 'sinews of war when she will resort to such despisable means to influence theAmerican people against the Boer cause, when fully 95 per cent of the citizens are in our favor."

The forthcoming biennial report of the state board of charities will recommend the construction of a $20,000 hospital buildine at the ToDeka asylum. The board of charities is taking an ad vanced step in the treatment of the In sane patient3 of Kansas and this recom mendation which has been unanimously agreed upon and framed by the members of the board is the first effort of the kind ever made in the state. It is the purpose to equip this hospital building with all modern conveniences and the facilities for the treatment of in sane will excel anything of the kind in the west. The present administration and the board of charities seem alive to the progressive movements for the benefit of unfortunate wards of the state and this recommendation for the new hospital building is a movement which appeals to the people: First, because of its necessi ty; second, because the public is realiz ing that more humane and modern and scientific methods must be introduced in the care of the insane. The report which the board is required by law to issue will recommend thjrjn struction of school buildings at various places in the state where such buildings are now needed in connection with the institutions already established. Three buildings are under considera tion by the board at this time, although the recommendations for their construe tion-have not been formulated. The corridor connecting the stone building and the new building at the To peka asylum according to the specifica tions was to be made of wood. This pro vision was made because the board did not expect to have a sufficient sum of money to make it stone. However, the work is now in such condition that the board, after an investigation, concluded tnat tne amount of money on hand would justify the change so the order has issued for the connecting corridor to De made a permanent structure of stone This connects the main building with the administration building now under construction. The board of charities intends to liven up the biennial report which will soon be issued and has ordered large cuts of the state institutions for use in the publica tion of the report. No other report has coniainea tnis ieature. The board has elected Miss L. Hamil ton, of Leavenworth, to the position of nousekeeper at tne soldiers orphans home at Atchison. Miss Brownell of Concordia, has been elected Instructor on violin for the state blind school at Kansas City. This action was taken Dy the hoard In session yes terday. mie asylum, has been authorized by the uuuru to piace some competent person temporarily in chnre'd ft the ofFaiw, rf the steward at that institution, T.

The reports at the weather bureau from the observing stations in Kansas show a "scattering" rain over the state. Hays City for the western part shows half an inch on Saturday night and Manhattan in the northeastern part shows an inch and 59 hundredths for the same time. On Sunday Kansas City received 4S hundredths of an inch, Ba ker, in the northeast part of the state. Brown county, received two inches and 30 hundredths and Osage City had three hundredths. The hot weather should bring more thunder storms. On Monday the max imum temperature was 91 while up to 11 o'clock this morning the maximum had reached the same point, giving promise of a red hot day. The mini mum temperature last night was 77 which Is about 10 degrees hot for nights in Kansas. The wind today has been southwest, blowing twelve miles an hour. The forecast is "fair tonight; Wednesday occasional showers." USE STALE BEER City Building to Be Given Cleansing Bath. It developed in the council meeting last night that stale beer would be used to wash the stone and pressed brick work Of the new city building. Architect Holland stated that stale beer was the best liquid that could be used to clean the mortar spots from the building and that a thorough bath In that liquid would prevent the Colorado sandstone, which is used in the trimmings, from Btaining the brick under it. Cider vine gar and muriatic acid were formerly used for this purpose, but the vinegar is too expensive and the acid injures the brick. The stone could be painted but paint ruins the beauty of the stone. Oil brings out the color of the brick and makes it brighter but to oil the city building would cost $150. which is con sidered too expensive. If it is decided that oil Is needed it can be done at any time. The common brick will probably be painted with a special paint that is manufactured for the purpose. Ordinary paint soon peels from brick and in a short time makes it look worse than it did before painting. The addition to the city prison will be painted with this new paint and If it looks and works all right it will be used on the common brick in the city building. ASKED PROTECTION. Oom Paul Begged American As sistance When Pretoria Fell. London, Aug. 14. President Kruger, at one time made a formal application to the United States to grant him a sanc tuary in case the necessity for it arose. This occurred, according to Secretary of State Reltz of the Transvaal republic the day Lord Roberts entered Pretoria. The details of the event have been rela ted to a representative of the Associated Press by Mr. F. W. Unger, who has just returned from the Transvaal and who se cured the information from Secretary Reitz and others. After quoting the sec retary as saying President Kruger would never take to the mountains on account of his age, but would retreat down the line, finally escaping to Portu guese territory, Mr. Unger said that the day the British entered Pretoria. Presi dent Kruger sent for Mr. W. Stanley Hollis. the United States consul at Ior enzo Alarques and Air. Hollis was taken to Marhadodorp in a special car. Presi dent Krueer asked him if his govern ment would grant him an asylum in Ixrenzo Marques consulate, until he, Mr. Kruger, made other arrangements for his departure. President Kruger express ed fears concerning his treatment by the Portuguese government and wished to guard against any possible landing par ties. Mr. Hollis asked for him to consult with his government and President Kru ger assured him he would, receive a week's notice before putting the plan in to execution. In consequence of this city's proximity to the Transvaal and the transmission of President Kruger's request to Washington, Mr. Hollis re ceived instructions from Secretary Hay not to leave Portuguese territory again. He was thus compelled to neglect the in terests of the British prisoners at Nooit Geedacht, where there was great sufter- Mr. Unger in conclusion said: "I make this explanation in Justice to Mr. Hollis, whose act has been misun derstood in America and Great Britain." Mr. Unger did not know whether the state department eventually gave a specific answer to President Kruger's re quest. Leave Topeka 3:00 p. m., arrive Chi cago 7:40 a. m., via the Santa Fe Short line.

Press Agent of Wallace Showa Dis cusses Their Origin. In an interview with Harry 1 Middle ton, press agent of the great Wallace showa which cornea to the city Friday, August 17, in regard to when the first elovn3 were introduced in the circus business; he said: "The clown dates his origin back to the very beginning of the circus Itself, and from time immemoral he has been one of the most important features. Iuring the growth, development and improvement in everything else he has by no means been left behind. He is funnier now and can do more tricks than ever before. "In the old days on clown sufficed to satisfy the show-goera but now it takes twenty-five for the Great Wallace Shows. Nowadays the clown who could not do anything but grin and drive a donkey that played a tattoo with its hind heels on the dashboard of a little cart could not get a job. in ten years. He has to be versatile or lose his posi tion. "Clowns must be great masters in the 'knockout' act. If they were not, there would be a few dozen broken bones ev ery afternoon and evening. The more kicks, blows and knockdowns that the clown receives the greater the glee and happiness of the audience. So the gen tleman must be a past master in the art of falling down and pretending to give and to receive bone breaking blows. Some times the pretense gag won't work and the real thing has to take its place. Then the clown resorts to the science of padding. He puts enough pads underneath his loose fitting gar ments to protect him even in a railroad wreck. When thus accoutered the clown is beaten, kicked and clubbbed until the audience shrecks itself into tears and the clown is none the worse off. "But the acrobatic work is only a small part of the clown's performance. You can scarcely find a humorous phase of life which the clown does not burlesque. Every character of any In terest whatever Is Imitated or carica tured, policeman, politicians, capitalists, speakers, musicians and artists are given attention which delights the crowd, for one thing which most pleases an American audience Is to see some one made fun of. "So popular have become the clown features of a big show that men are becoming to have rivals In the field that axe not to be sneered at. No circus ia MANUFACTURED OHLV ttjr V aS -ut4 now 'complete without a number of trained animals to do funny tricks in addition to their full quota of human clowns. So intelligent have some of these animals become that they almost appear to see the funny side of the tricks they are performing. IXigs play old women, have prizez fights, wrestling matches, cry and weep over each other, and so on, while elephants get drunk, play policemen, arrest each other, play musical instruments, keep Bme and in fact do everything but talk."

6 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14, 1900. HE IS SHELVED. AntI Boss League Promoter Re ceives Another Rebuke. Jolin Schilling Lost His Fight at the Primary. ONE MAN OUTSPOKEN. Nominee For Legislature Who Tells Where He Stands. T. C. Honnell of Brown is For Senator Baker. John Schilling of Brown county who was one of the originators and substan tial pillars of the anti-bosa league and one of the most bitter enemies of Cyrus Leland in Kansas, was put out of the political ring at the primaries last week in an effectual manner. Mr. Schilling, while a warm friend of Charles Curtis was not supporting Sen ator Baker for re-nomination, his plan being that the representative of the county "should vote as the people of the county wanted him to do in the legisla ture." With this motto in advance Mr. Schil ling started out ostensibly to favor J. H. Ham.a candidate for representative who was working the unpledged plan of cam paign. This was not satisfactory to the Ba ker people who would not have antag onized Mr. Schilling had they believed that he was not working for the election of a man who would turn in and vote for J. R. Burton. Considerable skirmishing was done in the ante-primary contests, which resulted in the announcement that Mr. Ham had retired from the race and would not be a candidate. But a short time elapsed until John F. Cashman was brought out as a candi date. He was a Burton man and the Ba ker forces made their fight against him. Believing that the light was won the Baker people prepared to go to the pri mal ies and do the voting, but kept a watchful eye on the situation. At the last moment Ham reapptared in the tight and the combined opposition start ed in to defeat the candidate of the Ba ker forces, T. C. Honnell. This precipitated a red-hot fight at the primaries and some of the workers for Mr. Baker from other counties went in nd took a hand.The result was an over whelming victory for Honnell, and this victory shelves Mr. Schilling for the present at least. This is the econd defeat which has come to Mr. Schilling since he aided the promotion of the anti-boss league. He was a candidate for presidential elector before the Republican state convention but was defeated by a negro candidate lor the same office. Mr. Honnell, the nominee for represen tative was in Topeka yesterday on busi ness. To a reporter for the State Jour nal he said: '"I have been nominated for represen tative and expect to be elected. I am for the re-election of Senator Baker because I believe- he is a man of honor and in tegrity and he has a reputation for mor ality which no one can assail. He is a clean man and lives in our district and I believe we should stand by the people of our own district first." Mr. Honnell is a retired business man and sought the office of representative as a luxury, a sort of closing chapter in his political career. He has been a work er in the ranks of the Republican party In Brown county for 30 years and this is the first office he has ever asked for. Mr. Honnell was for several years in the grain and stock business at Everest, Brown county, where he mow lives and has always been one of the reliable party workers. He is now out of business and is in comfortable circumstances. Brown county always sends a Kepublican to the legislature so there is no doubt about the election of Mr. Honnell. WEAVER TO SPEAK.

Campbell,' rivals for congressional honors in the Seventh district; th first confident of victory, the second without a ghost of show because of the three cornered fight which he is keeping alive, met in joint debate at Tribune last night. Populists and Democrats concede that Mr. Long iiad the best of the argument. There is not much sympathy for Campbell lying loose around the Populist or Democratic Headquarters, which accounts in a mea are for the concession that Long had the Jest of the joint meeting. Mr. Long submitted the following questions to Mr. Campbell: -First Do you indorse the Kansas City Democratic platform? "Second If elected, will you support the nominee for speaker of the Demo cratic caucus? Third Should the treaty with Spain be ratified as made? "Fourth Do you favor the United States retaining the sovereignty and control of Porto Rico and the Philip pines? "Fifth Define imperialism and state Wherein it differs from expansion. "Sixth Do you regard imperialism as the paramount issue of this campaign? "Seventh Do you favor the admission of Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands as states? "Eighth Did President McKinley do right in suppressing the insurrection in the Philippine islands, or should the army have been withdrawn and the flag pulled d&wn? "Ninth If you do not favor the United States retaining the Philippine islands, .what should be done with them? "Tenth Are you in favor of govern ment with the consent of the governed In North Carolina aa well as In the Phil ippine islands?" Following are Mr. Campbell's answers: "I indorse the Kansas City platform. IX the Democrats support me for con gress I will vote for a Democrat for speaker. "I think the treaty with Spain should have been ratified as made. "I favor the United States retaining sovereignty over Porto Rico,but not over the Philippine islands; Porto Rico only on condition of its being made a state. "Imperialism is government without the limits of the constitution and re gardless of it. Legitimate expansion is with the consent of the governed, with the constitution and the flag. Havana, Porto Rico and the Hawaiian islands should be made states of the Union. "Imperialism is important, but not above trust and the money question. "President McKinley did wrong. He should have announced to the Filipinos the purpose of this nation to aid them in forming independent self-government, and then- there would have been no in surrection. "I favor aiding the Filipinos in re-establishing an independent government, then withdrawing our army, but protect ing them against aggression. "I favor government with the consent of the governed in North Carolina, as in the Philippines." Mr. Campbell lauded the paramount issue, so declared by the Democratic convention at Kansas City. He presented this remedy for dealing with the trusts: First Placing articles produced by them on the free list. Second Government ownership. Mr. Long first stated that he was per fectly willing to meet Mr. Duval, the Democratic candidate, if their meetings should conflict, as his and Campbell's did. He would also be ready to meet Jerry Simpson if that gentleman's scheme worked and his name appeared in that ticket where Mr. Campbell's and Mr. Duval's do now. It was a little em barrassing, he said, to campaign against two candidates in the field and several in the woods, when no one could tell who would be the finish candidate in No vember. "So far as this campaign is concern ed," Mr. Long said, "you might as well discuss infant baptism as the proposi tions made prominent by Campbell. The trouble with the Populist party is that it has been making promises and predic tions for ten years, changing them each campaign, and'the people are tired of it. "Your party." he said. turning to Campbell, "stands for nothing. It helped tne Democrats elect Cleveland in 1892; it cut the throats of its own candidate for vice president in 1896; this year it borrowed a candidate for president and a candidate for vice president, and the latter has now been withdrawn and you can t tell wno will De the candidate for vice president any more than you can tell who will be the candidate for con gress in this district." REPUBLICAN LEADERS COMING Members of State Committee Will Witness Bryan's Notification. The Republican state committee has been called to meet in Topeka August 21, in time to permit the members of the committee to witness the notification of W. J. Brayn by the Populists which takes place next Thursday. The Republican committee will meet at 10 a. m., 2 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. the meetings of this committee will bp held monthly, doing the work which was tormerly entrusted to the executive com mittee. FOB, FT7SIONISTS. Two State Committees Issue a Letter Urging Co-operation. The following is an extract from a joint letter issued by the Populist and Democratic state central committees yesterday: "Perfect harmony and co-operation exists between our state committees, and we recommend and urge that the county committees co-operate in all the work of this campaign, keeping their respective committees intact, utilizing the full membership of each committee as active workers. When joint committees are or ganized do not fail to keep your regular committees actively engaged, co-operating with and supporting the joint com mittee. Remember, you must increase and not diminish the number of workers, hence every committeeman must do his part and be an active worker. "We are getting good reports from ev ery county and ask of you frequent re ports of the situation in your county. Thorough organization and effective work will insure victory for our cause in Kansas." EEEDER IS SNUBBED. Prevented From Speaking at Ellis on Account of Postoffice Controversy. A postoffice controversy at Ellis In which Congressman V. A. Reeder was in volved was responsible for a snub which he received there last week while touring the Sixth district with Governor Stanley. Reeder went to Ellis to make a short speech, but the factions which he had offended in the postoffice controversy kept him from speaking. Oal Bascom and Representative M. M. Fuller were candidates for postmaster. The fight was very bitter, and as a com promise move Charles Brettle was ap pointed. When Mr. Reeder went to Ellis with the governor, the FuUer-Baseom forces packed the meeting and elected Mr. Fuller chairman. At the conclusion of the gov ernor's speech Mr. Fuller, owing "to the lateness of the hour." adjourned the meet ing, depriving Mr. Reeder of the oppor tunity to make his speech. Home Man for Burton. The Republicans of Dickinson county have nominated C. W. Spurlock for rep resentative and instructed him to vote for J. R. Burton for United States sena tor. Spurlock was a member of the last house of representatives. INTO A PHONOGRAPH. Mr. Bryan Repeats Part of His Speech of Acceptance. Chicago. Aug. 14. Mr. Bryan closeted himself with a phonograph today and de livered over again parts of the speech of acceptance he made at Indianapolis last week.

It is expected that Mr. Bryan's speech as ground out by the phonograph wlil play an important part in the campaign. TO LEATE CANTON. McKinleys Will Return to Washing ton Thursday Afternoon.

This was hardly to be expected, and the safe arrival of the message at least shows that a cer tain measure of communication is open. One of the chief sources of congratula tion among officials is that the fancied hordes of China have not materialized. or at ieast have not prevented the inter national column from drawing close to tne gates or Pekin. Shortly after this dispatch arrived an other message from Gen. Chaffee, far more lengthy, gave the melancholy re sult of the fighting at Tang Tsun. The casualty list was given in detail, with the additional information that the dead had been buried at Yang Tsun and that the wounded had been sent back to Tien 'isin nospitals. LOSSES AT YANG TSUN.

Sir Robert Hart Continues to Collect Chinese Customs. New York, Aug. 14. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Sir Robert Hart's message from Pekin of August 5 which has just been pub lished is not the first that has been re ceived from him in London, though it is the first which has been communi cated to the world. On Friday he sent through a service telegram to the offi ces of the Chinese imperial maratime customs. This would indicate that in spite of the disorder in Pekin he is en deavoring to carry on the work of his department. The tenor of Sir Robert Hart's communication is regarded as, on the whole, hopeful for though he clearly intimates that the situation in Pekin of the foreigners is grave, he does not suggest that it is desperate. But between the date of Hart's dispatch and that of the latest received from Minister Conger there is an interval of three days, and matters may have changed for the worse in that time. With reference to Sir Robert Hart's midly worded phrase that the presence of foreigners in Pekin, is inconvenient to the Chinese government, it should be remembered that Sir Robert is still in the service of the Celestial adminis tration and would be reluctant to de nounce his employers, especially if he thought they might be able to read his cipher. Lord Salisbury's reply to the formal announcement by the Chinese minister of Li Hung Chang's appointment as plenipotentiary has not yet been hand ed to Sir Chih Chen Lo, but its terms have been settled. It will be much in the same spirit as the reply of the United States government and will be equally vigorous in tone. The Chinese will be told that negotiation is out of the question until guarantees for the safety of the ministers and other for eigners have been given. The Yang Tse Valley question has been somewhat complicated by the evi dent determination of the French not to allow the British claim to look after that region pass unchallenged. English mercantile interests are, of course, pre dominant in this part of China, while French trade is comparatively small.but there are French missions and French consuls at various points along the great river. The Anglo-Chinese com munity are much chagrined at the con duct of the British consul at Chung King, who hastily retired with some prominent English residents at Shang hai, while the French consul remained at his post, and is now acting as the representative of the European com munity and negotiating with the vice roy. This naturally strengthened the French claim for a voice in the admin istration of affairs in Central Asia as well as in northern and southern China. Carpenters Pull Out. Chicago, Aug. 14. The Times-Herald says: The carpenters, the strongest or ganization of artisans in the Chicago Building Trades council, has decided to withdraw from that body and most of the men probably will be at work with in two weeks. The movement of the carpenters is the second big break in the central organization of the Building Trades workmen who have been at log gerheads with the contractors for many months.

HOLLIDAY FLOPS. Charles K. Holliday Will Sup port M'Kiuley and Roosevelt. Two of the staunchest Democrats In Topeka have renounced the faith and will vote this fall for McKinley. It was discovered in this wise. Chas. K. Holliday is known as a. life long Democrat. He has been close into the secrets of several administrations and was sent to Venezuela as secretary of the United States legation by President Cleveland. So he has always been looked upon as one of the wheelhorses of the party in Topeka. Not long ago Charles Blakesley wished to secure some red hot Democratic stuff for the Kansas City Times. It was soon after the Phil adelphia convention. He asked Holliday for an interview. Holliday said the would write it and send it in. That was agreed upon. A few days later Holliday sent the interview to the Kan sas City Times. It was never printed. It started out by saying that "with such a ticket the party should win. McKin ley the conservative and Roosevelt tne fighter." The editor of the Times read no further. Blakesley was telegraphed and he went to see John McManus to discover if Holliday was going daft and then he found that both Holliday and McManus had decided to support the Republican national ticket this fall. REFUSE ALLOTMENTS. Full Blood Creeks Set Up Govern ment of Their Own. Denlson. Tex.. Aoe. 14. The full blood Creek Indians refuse to take their allot ments, and have withdrawn from the reg ular Creek government.

The Seminoles are disposed to make the same movement. It is not be- leved that the "United States government will attempt to nrevent the new govern ment being put into operation, but if it does the Indians are expected to sell their lands and remove to Mexico, negotiations lookins: to a movement of that kind hav ing been under way for some time.

Huntington ana the artist, Daniel Huntington. Directly, or indirectly, he had thirty thousand men under him. In business he was an autocrat; hi3 manner was quick and decisive; toe was direct in his' speech, and expressed himself with force when he said anything. He also knew when silence was golden. He was a good story teller, and had a large fund of anecdotes; he had original wit a store of quaint, homely sayings which were often singularly apt. Sitting in his office chair, with a black skull cap which toe usually wore in business hours, pushed back on his head, he had an open, jolly, unassuming look, and the stranger would hardly have taken him for one of the financial kings of this country.

WHEAT Cables were only Ud higher at the opening and weather perfect for threshing and shipping to market. Re ceints were liberal at all market centers. 506 cars at Chicago, 309 in the northwest. 249 at Kansas City, ana id cars at To peka. Primary receipts were heavy, ex ports 325,000 bu. and acceptances barely nothing. We can see nothing in the sit uation to offer the slightest encourage ment to bulls. Everything tends to lower prices. This is just the time that the market generally does the other thing, however, and should the trade get in and oversell the market, which they are liable to do if they trade on conditions, there will be a sharp upturn when they try to cover, at higher prices. This is the only ray of hope we can offer. Olt-N Jorn xurnea strong ana at one time was up almost a cent. Near the close of the session, however, there was good selling by parties who were afraid it might rain over night, and the market broke back half a cent, closing half a cent higher than last night. Receipts are light and shipments only moderate. The past two days have been very severe on corn, scorching hot winds prevailing over almost the entire corn belt. One or two more days like yesterday and to day will settle the corn question In this territory. We believe there is a chance of making tremendous profits on the long side of corn right now and that a mini mum margin will protect trades. OATS Oats dull and featureless. PROVISIONS September pork closed 2c a barrel higher than yesterday. The market opened up 7Hc a barrel higher than yesterday's close, but gradually eased off. Trade was very dull. There were only 12,000 hogs' at the yards and prices were steady. The market closed easier, however, and futures followed the cash article. J. C. GOINGS. New York Uptown Gossip. New Tork, Aug. 14. Strong and dull that is the only sure comment which can be passed upon, the stock market. Prices for some important investment stocks were advanced easily yesterday, but thera was no general increase in business. A curious part of the style of the current speculation is that now and then a cer tain stock starts into comparative promi nence and activity without any particular reasons being assigned for the movement. For instance, nothing is publicly known to explain why St. Paul should become one of the leaders in the market yesterday and score a pronounced advance, nor why Rock Island should equal it in net gain, and that Chicago, Burlington Quincy should follow at a little further distance. Western dispatches report that rains over the larger part of the corn belt fell on Sunday just in time to save the corn crop from another threatened blight. The sharp decline in corn options was" taken as circumstantial evidence of the dis patches referred to, but corn rallied sharply near the close on a very heavy demand for export. It hardly seems con sitent that foreigners should be in haste to buy this cereal when the general be lief is encouraged that a large crop is reasonably assured. "While railroad stocks were being advanced easily, sugar was gradually declining after a successive rally. The dullness in that stock, how ever, robbed its movements of much sig nificance, and It might readily be taken up by the bulls again, in the opinion of some observant traders, should the mar ket need a new stimulant on the industrial side. The most striking feature In the current market position is that advances may be readilv brought about. This is clear proof that the floating supply of stocks is small, and it-supports the con tention of many persons that- securities are largely in strong hands. No satisfac tory explanation, however, is offered as to why commission house business does not increase under these circumstances. Market Gossip. Liverpool: Wheat, d higher; corn, d higher.

A WHOLESALE KILLING. One Anarchist Tells of Plot to Destroy Many Rulers. New York. Aug. 14. The Italian news paper Progresso Italio-Americano has received a letter postmarked New York city and signed "C. Luigi Alfleri, born at Anconia, Emigrated in- 1897." The writer declares that he was "enlisted by deceit" ia the anarchist society of Pat erson and being afraid to withdraw learned of the plot to assassinate King Humbert. He writes: "On May 1 of this year lots were cast for the infamous enterprise. The first was B reset's chance for the assassination of the bemoaned king of Italy; the sec ond o;:e, Arturo Giovanneili's for tha killing of President McKinley. Lots were drawn to kill the Emperor of Germany, Emperor of Austria, the president of France, Loubtt." The writer adds that on May 16 he no tified the Italian consul, of the inten tion to kill King Humbert, and that he also notified the federal government that President McKinley was to be assassi nated. He explains that his conscience compels him to write the truth of the matter. Consul Branchi laughed when shown the letter. A BANK FOR XEGROES. Members of American Protective League Outline Plans.

Chicago, Aug. 14. Information has been received at Democratic national headquarters that Former Mayor Rob ert T. McKisson of Cleveland will sup port William Jennings Bryan for the presidency. The story of McKisson's final revolt from the party of President McKinley and Senator Hanna is told by William A. De Ford, W'ho is in charge of the precinct organization work of the national committee, and by several members of the Cuyahogacounty (Cleve land) district Democratic committee. Mr. De Ford recently made a. tour of Indianapolis, Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo, and reports that conditions in the buckeye state are rap idly changing and that Democratic leaders confidently expect to carry the state. The acquisition of McKisson by the Democratic forces is regarded locally as a feature of the campaign, as the defection of such men as McKisson in Cuyahoga county, "Golden Rule" Jones ROBERT B. MC i-IS80N, Ex-Mayor of Cleveland, who leaves the Republican party. In Lucas county, and George B. Cox In Hamilton county, three of the largest counties in the state, would mean the reclamation of Ohio by the Democrats. McKisson was Hanna s opponent in the senatorial fight of January, 18SS, and came within a little of defeating the Republican boss. Sensational charges of bribery were made against Hanna at the time and resolutions calling for an investigation were adopted by the Ohio legislature. McKisson's friends still Insist that he was the choice of the Ohio legislature for senator and that nothing short of bribery turned the scales. The election of Hanna, however, gave rise to the belief that McKisson would suffer political paralysis as the result of his fight on McKinley's lieutenant, but the gubernatorial election of 1S99 showed that McKisson, who was the youngest mayor ever elected in Cleve land, was still a power in Cuyahoga county. Under the leadership of Mc Kisson this county gave "Golden Rule" Jones, Independent, more votes than Judge Nash and John R. McLean com bined, Nash being the Republican and McLean the Democratic candidates. Jones received 36,255 votes as against 21,321 for Nash and 7,410 for McLean. This was regarded as a test of the anti-Hanna strength in Hanna'a own county. The defection of Robert McKisson, once mayor of Cleveland and for years tne right hand man of Mark Hama in the manipulation of Republican politics in Cuyahoya county, O., is the greatest political blow the senator has received. Their original trouble was caused by the manner in which Hanna dispensed patronage after he was appointed a United States senator by Governor Bushnell in March, 1897, to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of John Sherman, who resigned to accept the position of secretary of state in McKinley's cabinet. In January, 1SSS, Hanna was elected for the short term ending March, 1SW. and also for the succeeding full term. In that memor able fight. in which it was alleged money was freely used, McKisson refused to support Hanna and ever since he has been his uncompromising political foe. In the last gubernatorial campaign, in 1899. he headed a revolt, and as chair man of a Republican committee of fifty he so shaped matters that "Golden Rule" Jones, mayor of Toledo, and non partisan candidate for governor, fairly swept Cuyahoga county, registering against the boss the worst political de feat he had up to that time ever sus tained. A HOT, DRY WEEK. The Temperature Ranged From 4 to 5 Degrees Above NormaL The following is the report of the cli mate and crop service of the depart ment of agriculture for the Kansas sec tion for the week ending August 11: GENERAL CONDITIONS. A warm week one of the warmest this season with the temperature gen erally ranging 4 to degrees above the normal except in the central southern counties being but about 1 degree above normal at WrIchita.

Rain is needed for corn, especially the late corn, pastures, orchards, gardens, and for fall plowing. Corn is seriously in jured in Allen, Anderson. Atchison, Doniphan and Jackson. Pastures are getting dry and stock water scarce. Haying is progressing with a fair crop. Apples ere fairly abundant in the mar kets. Plowing is completed in Chau tauqua, is good in northern Marshall, but in most of the counties the ground is too dry. MIDDLE DIVISION. Pastures are dry, or drying in most of the counties and are needing rain in Sedgwick and Cowley. Corn has been seriously injured in Butler, Cloud, Dickinson, McPherson. Ottawa, Reno, Rice and Stafford, while in Barton it is gone: it is being cut for fodder in Mc Pherson: it is ready to cut in Phillips and is being cut in Rice. In Cowley the early corn is being cut and shocked for grain. Fall plowing is welt along in Wash ington, but has been stopped by the dry weather in many of the counties; in Barton the farmers are discing the wheat ground. WESTERN DIVISION. Rain is needed tn all parts, though Decatur, Sheridan and Thomas were re lieved to some extent by showers. Corn is doing fairly well in Decatur but is being injured in the other counties. The range grass is curing on the ground, affording good feed for cattle. Leave Topeka 4:40 p. m., arrive Chi cago 9:30 a. m., via the Santa Fe Short line. SXAP SHOTS AT HOME XEWS F.

When Senator Hanna was asked about the matter he replied: "Poor girl. She wanted the Republi can national committee to indorse the anti-Lynching league. Of course we could not do it. We all deprecate lynch ing. I told her that all moral persons and law-abiding ones are against lynch ing. This is not a party matter." Good Medicine For Children.

Nearly All of the "Strip" is Included. ALSO DOUTIIITT TRACT Boundaries of the City Straightened Out. Are Auditorium Changes Suggested Are Ordered by Council. The city attorney read the third an nexation ordinance last night and it was adopted. By the terms of this ordinance about eight acres of land at the end of Second and Clay streets, in the "Strip" was taken into the city. The land that was annexed by the new ordinances in cludes the Garden Place addition in North Topeka, Fensky's first addition the Fisher tract, Douthitt Place No. 1 and 2, the Keith tract, College hill, two tracts near Christ hospital, the Johnson tract, the Island tract and a large por tion of the "Strip,"in all about 150 acres The intention of the council is to annex all of the platted land. It will require another ordinance before all of the Strip" 'is included and that will pro bably be done at the next meeting. AUDITORIUM CHANGES. Architect Holland was present at last (night's meeting and told the council that the changes which had been proposed by the council at the previous meeting could be made for an additional cost of $150. The changes suggested were the removal of the balcony over the stage which was objected to by the musical people on account of its interference with the acoustics, and the narrowing of the two rooms on the ground floor in front of the auditorium in order to make a larger foyer. Air. Holland objected strongly to the entire removal of the rooms, which had been suggested be cause he considered that the rooms would be useful for committee rooms when conventions are held in the build ing and because he thought the removal would injure the symmetry of the audi torium. He said that by making both changes the seating capacity would not be lessened and the space gained by setting back the partitions of the two rooms would more than make up for mat lost by the removal of the balcony The committe appointed to confer with .Mr. .Holland and the contractors con cerning the changes had been unable to meet with them, but the report of Mr. Holland was adopted and the changes win De maae according to his plans. SHALL THERE BE A BELL? The old question of putting a fire bell on tne new city building was again Drougnt up tor discussion by a resolu tion introduced by Mr. Weber which instructed the city engineer to find out the cost of putting a fire bell on the city ounaing. Tne resolution was carried af ter considerable talking in which all of tne arguments that have been advanced Derore were rehashed. THE PAINT QUESTION. Mr. Elliott asked the council their wishes in regard to the painting, varnishing- and sandpapering of the new city building. He said the workmen were ready to proceed in the morning and he uesirea to Know it tne resolution passed by the council last meetine- nisrht in structing the city engineer to see that me work was done according tn tha specifications meant that the painting "-i"j uiisiieu was to De done over. This started a discuss ion in whir.li Mr. Myers objected to some of the work done. He said taht some of the work was ail right, but he thought the var nish used on the doors in the fire room was very poor, because he could see now it naa taded. He withdrew his ob jection, however, when Mr. Kllintt- in formed him that the doors had never oeen varnished, but had simply been given a preparatory coat of shellac. The city engineer was sent after speci mens of the different varnishes and paints in order to test them for the benefit of the council, but by the time he arrived the council was so interested in discusisng other subjects that the question was overlooked and the matter went over without action. FLAGGING SIDEWALKS. The matter which drew the council's attention tron the paint discussion was a question asked by Mr. Snattine-er. who wanted to know if he and other property owners on Kansas avenue would be compelled to put down flair. ging for sidewalks when the present wants are condemned. tie said that he had been under the impression that an ordinance had been passed to that ef fect, but was not sure. His opinion was connrmed Dy several of the councilmen. but they were told by City Attorney Bird that if the sidewalk was laid or work commenced before the contractor for the city began work, that the prop erty owner could choose for his paving either brick, asphalt or flagging. NEW FURNITURE COMMITTEE. Mr. Elliott stated to the council that the other two members appointed with him on a committee to purchase sup plies for the various offices in the new city building were unable to serve and requested that Mr. Warner and Mr. Chaney be appointed to take their place. Mr. Roundtree and Mr. Snat- tinger objected to this as they wanted some members of the fire committee appointed because they seemed to fear mat the lire department would not get all it wanted. The amount the commit tee has to expend for all the furniture is fl.200, and as there is an impression in the council that the fire department is in no danger-of being overlooked the gentlemen suggested were appointed. MINOR MATTERS. A petition was received from the resi dents and tax payers of the Sixth ward asking that a wagon bridge be built across the creek at Hawthorn street and was referred to the streets and walks committee. The committee on Judiciary recom mended the following resolution which was adopted: Resolved, by the mayor and council of the city of Topeka, that tne proposition of Annie B. Sweet, as to block 11, Martin Dennis' addition to the city of Topeka, be hereby accepted, and that the county commissioners of Shawnee county be authorized to charge DacK to tne city or Topeka its proper proportion of one thousand dollars taxes, to be refunded to said Annie B.

Bids for the paving of the half block on Seventh street in front of the city building were opened and the contract for paving was awarded to L. Black man. His bid for curbing- was 50 cents a yard, for paving $1.25 a square yard and for sidewalk 6 cents a square foot. None of the bids for grading came with in the engineer's estimates and, in or der that it might be done without more delay, the mayor was instructad to make a contract for tne grading at a price not exceeding 27 cents a square yard. The council will meet both Wednesday and Friday nights to pass ordinances and do other business relative iu pav ing. TWO THIRD PARTIES Are Endeavoring to Get To gether at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Aug. 14. No considerable number of delegates has yet arrived to attend the two "third party" conventions scheduled for this week. The straight out, anti-imperialism convention, which is expected to be much the larger and more important of the two, will not be called to order until tomorrow. The other, known as the "National," third party movement, which will oppose the election of both McKinley and Bryan and may nominate a separate ticket, will be called to order this afternoon in the Commercial club building. The dele gates to this convention denominate themselves as "independents and they are as firm in their opposition to the free coinage of silver and other doctrines enunciated in the Kansas City platform as they are in their opposition to im perialism. Tomorrow's convention is ex pected to devote itself to the one ques tion of imperialism and may endorse Bryan and Stevenson. It was claimed today that one of the delegates to the "independent conven tion had received a letter from ex-Pres-ldent Cleveland, in which the latter an nounced that he opposed a third ticket. Louis R. Ehrich of Colorado will pre side over the "independent" convention. The congress of the Anti-Imperialist League will be called to order Wednes day morning in Tomlinson hall by ex Senator John B. Henderson of Missouri who will introduce ex-Governor George S. Boutwell of Massachusetts, as presid ing omcer. There will be no set programme for the first session. A number of short speeches will be made relative to deter mining what is the best course to pur sue. Governor Boutwell is opposed to plac ing a third ticket in the field, and will use all his influence to prevent the nom ination of a third ticket and likewise the indorsement of Bryan and Stevenson. He believes strong resolutions denouncing imperialism should be adopted, and that men tne meeting should adjourn. Carl Schurz will take Dart in the con vention, it is stated positively. It is also amrmeu mat Bcnurz will insist upon an indorsement of Bryan and Stevenson, and that he will be aided in this bv Hpn. ry U. ojhnson, ex-Republican congress man from the Sixth Indiana district Bourke Cochran is expected to make an address. Those who favor a third ticket have suggested tne name of Thomas B. Reed, Ricnard Olney, ex-Governor Boutwell and ex-Senator Henderson The members of the National party hope to form an alliance wtih the Anti-Imperialists, and they hops that the anti-ira-penahsts will endorse the ticket they nominate. A conference was held at headquarters and the following statement issued: A mass convention is hereby called to meet at Indianapolis at 2 p. m. .August 14, to nominate or co-operate in the nomination of candidates for president ""'u pie&iuent upon a piatiorm suD- stantiallv as follows: "The Democratic party is conduct lg a direct attack upon the institutions of our country. it advocates dishonest money and threatens the integrity of the Judi ciary.

The full title of this originally obscure secret society of Shan Tung appears to be I-Ho-Chuen, or I-Ho-Chuan; some natives of Pekin prefer e, others a. Our news papers translate It Righteous Harmony Fists; to be consistent it should be Right eous Harmony Boxers, as the short form of the name. Boxers, is simply the third element of the full title. I means "right eous," ho means "uniting." while of chuen, or chuan, the definition given by Wells Williams, in his "Syllabic Diction ary of the Chinese Language," 1874. page 4S2, Is as follows: "The fist, to double up the hand, to grasp in the hand, boxing, fisticuffs, athletic, vigorous." It is a striking testimony to the position of the English language in the far east that foreign journals use our term without translation. It occurs in German as "die boxers," in Italian as "1 boxers," and in Spanish as 'llos boxers." ATTRACTIVE BA AT MRNUM The following should prove of great interest to Pay-Day shoppers.
