Several Others Are Reported as JSIissing. GIFFORD HOUSE BURNS Flames Started at Midnight While Guests Slept. There Were 45 Sleeping in the Hotel. St. Louis. Nov. 12. A special to the Post-Dispatch from Poplar Bluff, Mo., 6ays: A fire accompanied with a terrible fa tality occurred here this morning, re sulting in the total destruction, of the Clifford house, a. large three-story frame building. The list of known, dead is as fallows: HECK CLARK, Doniphan, Mo REBECCA OWENS, Poplar Bluff, Missouri. SHELRT DE HART. Poplar Bluff. CURLEY BERRY. Poplar Bluff. FATALLY INJURED. Etta Hargrove, Poplar Bluff. "VVinslow Stone. Tennessee. MISSING. Eugene Dalton, Hot Springs, Ark. The following were badiy burned or Injured in jumping from windows: T. A. Smith, Poplar Bluff, terribly burned about the face and hands. Harney Pernaud, De Soto, Ma, hands and face burred. Charles Stradley, Poplar Bluff, Ma, bruised and burned. Mrs. Benjamin Shelby, Poplar Bluff, back injured, burned and bruised. Pink Berry. Elmer Freshear and James Upchurch, Poplar Bluff, severely burned. An unknown woman is also thought to be fatally injured and about a dozen more were slightly burned or received bruises in trying to escape from the building. The fire originated about 12:30 o'clock this morning in the rear of the hotel, and in a few minutes the mammoth building w hich was entirely of wood was a mass of flames. There were in the neighborhood of 45 guests In the building, and the porter, the only person awake in the hotel, was unable to give an alarm, the smoke and flames driving him back. The fire department was on hand early, but they were unable to render any assistance to the inmates. The guests on the second and third floors were caught like rats in a trap, the Are preventing- their escape by the stairs, and they leaped from the second and third story windows. One of these, Heck Clark, jumped and broke his back.. Ktta Hargrove leaped from a third story window and suffered broken limbs and internal injuries which will cause her death. Others were also internally injured. One guest, Benjamin Shelby, forced his wife to leap from a seeond etory window and thereby saved her life, but lost everything they possessed. Mr. Shelby tried to escape by the stairway, but the flames and smoke drove him back. He asserts that he saw ten or fifteen persons in the hallway overcome by smoke. If this is the case a dozen or more bodies may be found in the ruins. Many of the guests had hairbreadth escapes and ran from the doomed building clad only in their night clothes, losing everything they possessed in the world. Their hair and eyebrows were singed by the flames. Numerous feats of heroism are re corded and if pome of the male guests had not aided the weaker sex the death list would be larger. As yet it is impossible to tell just how many lives were lost. Quite a number -f the guests were not registered and their names are unknown. Every num ber in the house, forty-five, was occu pied. Men are now at work on the ruins, but It will probably be several days before the complete list of deaths will be ob tainable. The Clifford house was one of the old est hotels in southeast Missouri, and it has been considered a death trap for a ft umber of years. W. P. Norrid was the proprietor. He and his wife escaped, but lutit everything. W K ECK NEAR FUE BLO. Missouri Pacific Passenger Train Planges Into a Freight Caboose, Pueblo, Colo., Nov. 12.

Nov. j" Hearing In the Gaynor conspiracy ca- e was continued to day before United States Commissioner Shields. W. H. Flags, formerly of the firm of Reid Flagg, stock brokers, through whom Robert F. "Westeott is said to have had certain stock transactions in connection with his son-in-law. Captain Oberlin M. Carter, was the first witness. Mr. Flagg denied practically all the state ments made by Westcott in his examina tion concerning the transactions. IX Sanford Ross, a contractor of New ark. N. J., who said he knew Captain Carter very well and had during the past few years done much contract work in the Savannah harbor, was called. Mr. Ross said that he bid on a contract let August, lhSi. He also bid on other con tracts in later years, all of which wire let to the Gaynor company. He identified several contracts and declared that all bids put in by him were bona fide and that there was no collusion or conspiracy between himself and William T., or John F. Gaynor. BRYANTRpHER. Rumor That Defeated Candidate May Become Minister. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 12. A special dis patch to the Cincinnati Enquirer from Chicago says: William Jennings Bryan may become a Presbyterian minister. This rather startling announcement comes from a close friend of the dis tinguished Nebraskan, who who has en joyed his confidence and who is also an ardent worker in the cause of religion. It is a -well known fact that Mr. Bryan is deeply relgous and sncere n his pro fessions. During two bitter campaigns not a word has been said against his personal charcter. The information comes in a round about way from Colonel Richard M. Wynne, of Fort Worth, Texas, two years ago a candidate for governor of Texas, and slated for the position of minister to Mexico had the champion of silver and other issues succeeded in, se curing election Colonel Wj-nne has frequently enter tained Colonel Bryan at his home in Fort Worth, and at his solicitation the latter lectured for the benefit of the Presbyterian church of 'which the for mer is a member. Governor Sayers, of Texas, defeated Colonel Wynne for the nomination, but the defeat did not in any way lessen the influence of the colonel in state or national politics. A Texas newspaper man a few days before the election asked Colonel Wynne as to Bryan's intentions in case he should meet defeat in the coming strug gle "I would not be surprised," said Colonel Wynne, "indeed, I rather believe he will go into the ministry." There is no question but Colonel Bryan would be a great success as a pulpit or ator. His refusa' to consider a con test for the sehatorship is considered as possibly indicating his intentions in the line suggested. NT KIN LEY TO LOUBET. Assures French President of Re gard of American People. "Washington, Nov. 12. The French, government, through President Loubet, and also through the minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse, has forwarded cor dial congratulations to President Mc Kinley on his re-election. The message from the minister of foreign affairs came through M. Thiebaut, the French charge d'affaires here, who conveyed it to Sec retary Hay, along with an expression of his own congratulation. To this Mr. Hay has made the following reply: "November 10, 1900. "My Dear Mr. Charge: I have re ceived your kind and courteous note of the 7th instant, conveying an expres sion of the gratification with which M.

The congratulations of President Lou bet were made last week. President Mc Kinley's answer is as follows: "November 9, 1900. "His Excellency, Emil Loubet. Presi dent of the French Republic, Paris: "Your message of congratulation is most gratifying to me. I trust that dur ing my renewed administration, as in the past, I may fortunately continue to give earnest expression of the sincere re gard of the American, people for the French nation.

The reports that Lady Curzon of Keddleston, wife of the viceroy of India, is ill, are absolutely groundless. She is enjoying the best of health. DALYJSDEAD. Senator Clark's Millionaire Po litical Rival Is No More. Has Been Sick a Long Time With Bright's Disease. END OF A BITTER FEUD Battle of Millionaires Has At tracted Much Attention. Daly Prevented Clark Being Seated as Senator. New York, Nov. 12. Marcus Daly of Montana, died today at the Hotel Neth erland. Mr.Daly'a death had been expected for weeks. He came home from Europe about the middle of September, and soon afterward was obliged to take to the bed from which he never again arose. His physicians informed the relatives some time ago that Mr. Daly could not MARCUS DALY. recover and they would give assurance of life only from day to day. Eright's disease complicated with, heart weakness was the cause of death. At Mr. Daly's deathbed were Mrs. Daly, Marcus Daly, Jr., his son, his daughters, Mary, Margaret and Harriet, the Rev. M. J. Lavelle, his attorney, William Scanlon of Montana and two physicians. Mr. Daly was conscious only at inter vals yesterday. At 4 o'clock this morn ing he revived from a sinking spell and seemed more than ordinarily bright. He asked that his family be summoned, "only a little while more, a little bit more," he said, when asked if he was better. The family came hastily and remain ed until the end. eDath came so peace fully that the physicians at once said that it was all over. Mr. Daly was con scious until a few minutes before he passed away. The body will be removed to the Daly home in Fifth avenue some time today and the funeral will be held from St. Patrick's cathedral but at what time has not been decided. The body probably will be placed In a receiving vault until the family decide upon the place of final interment. Marcus Daly, mining operator. Ana conda, Mont., a native of Ireland, was 5S years of age. His early life contained no incidents of note, having been spent mostly in quiet employments, and the remarkable prosperity which he was credited with is the result of a long ap prenticeship in the search for and the management of mines in the far west. In 1876 he arrived in Montana and had the good fortune to be appointed gen eral manager of the Alice silver mine at Butte and afterwards, by Messrs. Hag gin Tevis, manager of the Anaconda copper mine and smelter. Mr. Daly has had a large interest in the Anaconda mine which ranks among the great copper properties, and has also acquired part or entire ownership in various gold and silver mines. Profits have been invested in real estate, smelt ing works, banks, ranches, and mercan tile ventures in various parts of the state, but mainly at Anaconda, Butte City and Missoula. Among his corporations are the iBt ter Root development company, of Hamilton, Mont., neat- which town he owns the Riverside townsite and ranch; the D. J. Hennesy Mercantile company of Butte City and Missoula; the Copper City Commercial company and the Mon tana Commercial company of Missoula. Mr. Daly was a practical miner and assayer and an excellent judge of min ing properties. Mr. Daly was a member of the consti tutional convention 1884, and was a can didate before the state legislature for the United States senate in 1899. He was a Democrat and was Senator .W. E. Clark's bitter opponent The differences between Mr. Daly and W. A- Clark hafre attracted much atten tion. The troubles started years ago' over some water rights near Butte which Daly wanted and which Clark had bought, forcing the other to pay a very high figure. Daly's opportunity for re venge came in 1888 when Clark was the Democratic nominee for delegate to con gress. With his immense influence at Anaconda, Daly was able to throw a heavy vote to Carter, Clark's Republi can rival, which had previously been cast for the Democratic party. Montana became a state in 1889. Clark was put forward by his party for th United States senate. After a bitter con test the legislature was organized by both parties, each claiming to be legal. The Republicans named Thomas C. Power and W. F. Sanders, for their sen ators, while the Democrats put up Mr. Clark and Major Martin Maginnis. The Republicans were defeated. Daly's in fluence defeated Clark in a second con test in 1S93. In that legislature the Dem ocrats had 35 votes, the Populists three and the Republicans 33. The Daly Dem ocrats numbering nine, voted solidly for ex-Cengressman W. W. Dixon and there was a deadlock for the entire ses sion of sixty days. Telegrams from Cal vin S. Brice and W. C. Whitney and others equally high in their party were sent to Daly to withdraw his oposition but he ignored them and the fight con tinued. The next fight between Daly and Clark was on the location of the state capitol. Helena, Missoula. Bozeman and Ana conda were in the fight. Daly advocated the last named place. Clark at first favored Butte, but finally changed to Helena and that city was chosen. The senatorship again became the bone of -SI contention between the two millionaires last January and Clark was elected. Daly had the validity of the election contested on the ground of bribery.when Clark presented his credentials to the United States senate. The use of money was freely acknowledged on both sides, though it was claimed that the expen ditures were for legitimate expenses only. The contest resulted in the sen ate voting that there had been no elec tion by the Montana legislature. This year Clark made a fight for the election of members of the legislature in his interest and won. His return to the United States senate next January is assured. No mining property has achieved greater fame as a producer of dividends than the famous Anaconda. Originally bought as a silver mine, it became fa mous for its copper and to it both Daly and Clark largely owe their vast for tunes. Back in the 70s two miners nam ed Hickey from St. Lawrence county, this state, went to Montana, They se lected a hill overlooking the little min ing camp of Butte and began to sink their shaft. They struck a fair vein of silver but lack of funds made them stop work and offer to sell. Marcus Daly bought the property for 135,000. He act ed it is said as agent for J. B. Haggin of California, who had sent him to Butte to buy him some good mining property. As the new owners ran their shaft down they opened one of the world's greatest copper mines with silver enough to pay all expenses and having the copper as clear profit. Daly was superintendent and part owner of the greaCt mine. He bought the adjacent pro perties. He founded the town of Ana conda, in a valley 25 miles distant and located where there is an exhaustless supply of water and a great deal of wood two indispensables for the smelt ing and reduction of ores. At that place he erected the greatest copper plant in the world. Daly had a passion for horses of blood and speed. He owned the $40,000 colt Hamburg, Tammany, Montana, Senator Grady, Ogden and other famous win ners. He tried to buy the winners of the Derby and Ascot races of 1897 Galtee More, but his offer of $125,000 was not accepted. betterTook out Morocco Again Refuses to Pay U. S. Indemnity Claims. Washington, Nov.12. The government of Morocco has again declined to meet the demands of the United States for the payment of an indemnity on account of the killing by a mob, of Marcus Es sagin, a naturalized American citizen. The last request was made by United States Consul Gunnmere and the latest declination of the government of Mo rocco was accompanied by an intimation of its freedom from liability under the terms of the convention between Moroc co and Spain. The state department has come to the conclusion that the consul's representa tions will be more effective if he is sup ported morally by the presence In Mo roccan waters of a United States war ship and it is probable he will make his visit to Fez to again present the case as a passenger on a vessel to be selected by the navy department for that purpose. ALBAUGH TO HAVE IT. Decided That He Can Be Next Bank Commissioner. It is generally conceded by the poli ticians that Morton Albaugh can have the office of state bank commissioner if he wants it. Albaugh has piloted the Republican state ticket to victory in two campaigns and his friends unite in saying that the MORTON ALBAUGH, Slated for Bank Commissioner. "chairman can have anything he wants. Thre are at this time no candidates for John Breidenthal's job, the under standing being that it will go to Al baugh if the chairman's business In terests will permit him to take it. LARGER AKMY NEEDED Congress Will Be Asked to Increase Regular Force. Washington, Nov. 12. Senator Proc tor, of the senate committee on military affairs, and Adjutant General Corbin, of the war department, held an informal conference with the president yesterday relative to legislation to be asked of congress in connection with the proposed increase of the regular army. "Under the existing law," said Senator Proctor, at the conclusion of the con ference, "the present strength of the army, 65,000 regulars and 35,000 volun teers, will be reduced on the 1st day of next July to 27,000 regulars. This is an absurdly small number, and congress will be asked by the president to re organize the army on a larger basis. It will be impossible to keep any troops in the Philippines unless the army is increased, to say nothing of the gar risons for the forts in this country. "My own judgment is that congress will provide a regular army of about so.OOO or 60,000 men, with discretion to the president to raise the total to 100.000 if he finds the larger number necessary. I have no doubt that this legislation will be eneacted at the coming session." DEL AGO i BAY AWARD. The Vexing Question Is at Last Adjusted. London, Nov. 12. The Delagoa Bay railroad award was finally settled today. R. TAPP'S TALK. Socialist Makes Announcement and Startles Politicians. Will Disregard "Party' and Work For Constituents. AGAINST J. R. BURTON. Will Tote For Old Soldiers' Choice For U. S. Senator. He Is Sedgwick's Representa tive in State Senate. James W. Tapp, the Socialistic sena tor elected in Sedgwick county, a mem ber of the Salvation Army, and a nota ble political character has announced that he will abandon party lines and vote as the old soldiers In the county regardless of politics, may direct, for United States senator. Tapp add that he is opposed to J. R. Burton and will not support him.but otherwise he leaves the subject with hia constituents. Tapp JAMES W. TAPP. is one of the very few men who believes in representing his constituency rather than to confine himself to narrow par tisanship. He says: "I have not as yet thought much about the policy that I will pursue in the senate of this state. I realize that our party is in the minority and that they will not be In a position to Jo so very much. However I shall stand by them as long as it is possible for us to do anything and after that I do not know just where I will be. "In regard to the party caucuses on the United States senator question, I hardly think I will go in either the Dem ocratic or Republican caucuses, but if it should be the best thing for Wichita and my constituents, I would not hesitate to do so. I want it understood by ths peo ple of Wichita, regardless of party that I will do all in my power to further the interests of this community. "When it comes to the election of a United States senator, it will in a'l pro bability, be impossible for our py.rty to do much in that matter and in such a case I will be for the man whom the old soldiers of this district endorse, regard less of politics, after our party members in the senate have given up the mat ter. "There is one thing I will say along this line and it is that I am against J. R. Burton for the United States senate and he would never secure my vote. While this may be premature.yet I have no hesitancy in declaring myself in re gard to the Burton question.' The United States senator question brought up the matter of pensions and Senator Tapp said: "I am in favor of the pensions and think that the old sol diers who fought for this country de serve them and the man for senator who is endorsed by the old soldiers McKinley and Roosevelt club, will have ths sup port of James W. Tapp. "After the United States .senator is elected, I suppose that many important questions will come up for consideration before that body. And I will say as I did before, that the interests of Wichita and her people will be uppermost in my mind. I appreciate the splendid vote that the people of this city and country gave me and I feel that in return I should do all in my power to further their interests. Of course you under stand what my party is, but in regard to many things I have opinions of my own and I suppose, like all men, that I would vote the way I think when it comes to the point." As Sedgwick county is for Senator Baker, Tapp will probably be instructed to vote for him. RUSSIA DENIES IT. Government Has Annexed No Lan d in China. New York, Nov. 12. The Yalta corre spondent of the Herald cables that he has been authorized to state that the story of General Linevitch having noti fied the consuls at Tien Tsin of the an nexation of land opposite the British and German concessions is false. It is added that Russia is not at war with China, and that there can be no ques tion of annexing territory, which is against all Russian ideas. On the subject of railroads the Her ald's correspondent's authority says: "It is true that certain roads had been damaged and that the Russians repaired and held them until a statement of ex penses for repairing had been made up. That is quite fair, but a big fuss is made by the English, who, it is said, took so conspicuous a part in looting and hold ing a public sale in the British embassy. All the reports received here point to the conduct of the Russian troops having been exemplary in every way." Regulars Go to Manila. Columbus, O., Nov. 12. Detachments of the Sixteenth. Seventeenth, Nine teenth and Twenty-third infantries and the fourth cavalry, under command of Captains Buck and Wren, left the Col umbus barracks for Manila today, going via New York, where they will be trans ferred to the transport Kilpatrick and sail immediately. I OYERDUE SHIP ARRITES. British Ship Kequired 165 Days to Reach San Francisco. San Francisco, Nov. 12. The overdue British ship Anglesy on which 20 per cent, reinsurance had been paid, has ar rived here, 165 days from Swansea. Soon after leaving port she was in collision with the ship Bahana, but neither ves sel w as seriously damaged. Very heavy weather was experienced and Edward Mooney, an able seaman, was lost over board during the voyage TREASURYREPORT Large Increases Shown In Re ceipts of the Government. Washington, Nov. 12. The annual re port of the treasurer of the United States, Ellis II. Roberts, on the opera-, tions and conditions of the treasury, was submitted to Secretary Gage today. Mr. Roberts saya the growth and pros perity of the country and the general activity of business are reflected in the transactions of his office. The net or dinary revenues of the government for the fiscal year were $567,240,852, the largest in the history of the country, ex ceeding those of 1886, the next highest by $47,291,288. The increase of $31,280,232 over the preceding year was contributed from all the general sources, but chief ly from customs and internal revenue. On the side of the expenditures, there was a net decrease of $117,308,388 in com parison with 1899, so that the deficiency of $89,111,560 for that year was convert ed into a surplus of $79.527,0t0 in 1900. The gross receipts under warrant in cluding those on account of the public debt were $1,387,299,262 and the disburse ments $1,195,943,472, a large increase on both sides over the previous year. With the exception of July, 19, when there was a deficiency of $8,506,832 a sur plus was realized for every month of the year, the one for June being the largest at $17,895,159. The largest receipts for a single day were $5,1:M,513, February 26, 1900, and the largest expenditures $4, 803,000 July 3, 1900. The largest surplus on any one day was $4,047,396, August 29, and the largest deficiency $2,31S,62L July 5, 1SS9 ATROCIOUS. Chinese Officials Executed on Every Side. Li's Substitute Killed After Welcoming Allies. Washington, Nov. 12. It Is understood that the Chinese authorities at Pekin have been profoundly aroused by some of the executions of Chinese officials which have taken place recently and that they have made known in an offi cial way their surprise and regret that this should be done while the peace ne gotiations are going on. It appears that the execution of the acting viceroy of Chih Li is looked upon as peculiarly reprehensible. This acting viceroy served during the absence of Li Hung Chang at Pekin, occupying his Yamen, and in all ways executing Earl Li's functions, when he was conducting the peace mission. His headquarters were established at Paoting Fu whence the allied forces under the German commander recently directed their ex pedition. It is said that the acting vice roy made no opposition to the advance of the German and other allied troops, although he had an army capable of re sisting. He is said to have come out from the city to meet the allies and to have turned over his Yamen to them. From the Chinese standpoint, China is herself proceeding to punish guilty offi cials, and the question of punishment is also being considered in the negotiations now progressing. Chinese officials main tain, therefore that this summary exe cution of one of the highest officials, while he is said to have been non-combatant and peaceful, is extraordinary and calculated to stir up animosity among the Chinese people which there is every desire to avoid. The Chinese minister made a call on Secretary Hay mainly for the purpose of getting news on thi progress of af fairs. When asked as to the execution of the acting viceroy of Chih Li he would make no statement, although it is understood that he is fully advised of the feeling of deep concern which pre vails among the Chinese officials at Pe kin concerning this act and others of a similar character. WAR ON BOXERS. British and Russian Troops Rout Chinese. Berlin, Nov. 12. The following report dated November 8, has been received here from Field Marshal von Walder see: "Major Graham, with two companies of the First East Asiatic infantry, the Second squadron and second battery, proceeded from Tien Tsin via Chung Ying, 60 kilometers north, on the left bank of the Pel Ho where he had a slight encounter with mounted boxers and has arrived at Tung Pa, 12 kilome ters east of Pekin. "Russian troops have successfully en countered 6,000 boxers north of Shan Hai Kuan, losing four killed and 61 wounded. "British columns have returned from Paoting Fu to Pekin and Tien Tsin. The latter column destroyed several boxer camps." FOR GOOD ROADS. Kansas Association to Meet and Frame Proposed New Law.

Nicaragua Canal Bill One of Most Important. HAS m YET MEASURES Is as Much Interested in Sbip Subsidy Bill as Any. Will Remain in Clereland Till Congress ConTenes. Cleveland. Nov. 12. Senator Hanna has returned here after a brief vlnit to New York. He expects to remain ii this city until congress oonveii-. lr discussing; the coming aeaflloo of that body, Mr. Hanna said: "Congress thi year will have noma very important duties to j"form. Thre great bills, the Nicaragua canal bill, th army bill and the hip subsidy Mil ar all to come before it. The NleartiKi:r commission will make its report vuiiy in the session and the dobs to in.

When asked with what measure h would most interest himself durlnff tiis session. Senator Hanna wild: "I have no pet measures this year, and shall tak r.o particular interest In any of the bills before congress. Perhaps I am as much Interested in Senator t rye a ship subsidy bill as any." GLOOMY OUTLOOK. Long Teriod of War Expected let in the Philippines. New York, Nov. 12. A Fpecial to ths Herald from Washington says: The high officials of the war depart ment believe the election in the United Stales will have a good effect in the Philippines and will lead the more sensi ble Filipinos to abandon the insurrec tion. At the same time the offlcem look for ward to a Ions period of guerilla war fare. It la realized that the independent. Irresponsible life of the military free booter has many attractions tnr many of the Filipinos, who would rtither ex tort tribute at the muzzle of their rlllc than work for their living. Kv n If the Insurgents should be deprived of the leadership of AKUinaldo, and of many of the other more influential aniontr them, it will probably take severnl yeais and a considerable military force to eradicate all the wandering bands. Much is expected to be accomplished by the American troops between thla time and January 1, when the with drawal of the volunteers will bo active ly begun. BY BIG MAJORITY.

To photograph and map out the entire tiavens to search, with the camera. the jjrtjfoundest depths of space to bring to lisrht all the heavenly bodies far be yond the vision of the most powerful ieit scope to tabulate the satalogTie mil lions of stars is the stupendous task -which the International AstrogTaphic congress set itself to perform when It convened in Paris, April 16, 18S7. The work of this congress is nearly completed, and already sections of the Ftar charts are being printed and sent to the IS different observatories interest ed In the undertaking-. Mapping the entire heavens will prove an epoch-making enterprise. Future sreneratiuns will chronicle the achieva merit as one of the greatest of thia cen tury, and each astronomer aiding the 'work will hold a charter to fame. Fifty-five delegates, representing the la most enliphtened nations, deliberated Tor nine days in Pari3 in 1SS7, deciding Ho make the great star map, and 18 ob servatories were appointed to do the -work. The meeting was the result of a suggestion made on June 4, 1SS6, by Dr. (f;ill, of the Koyal observatory. Cape of flood Hope. It was fitting that Dr. Gill should originate the work, for it was from his famous photograph of the comet of 1KS2 that astronomers the nvorid over turned their attention in the first instance to star photography. The new star map is an amazing work. The patchwork of photographs will cover an immense globe having a liameter of 24 feet. During the work 44.000 photographs will be taken, and a catalogue of 2,500.000 stars will be made. Kach photograph, to avoid errors, will be duplicated. Altogether more than 30, tiOO.00") stars will be photographed. Previous to the middle of this cen tury such a work would have been con sidered beyond the bounds of possibility. To tabulate these stars in the ordinary way would take thousands of years and the stars themselves would change their places before the work could be half Jinished. It is only through photogra phy that it can be done at all. The en tire work could be done in one night. fo far as the actual photographing is concerned, but varying conditions of at mosphere, climate and season have ren dered necessary the spending of a num ber of years. Wolfs great map of the Pleiades, 'hereon but 671 stars were shown, took many years of the closest visual obser vation to complete. Today, photogra phy, in an hour's exposure, shows 1,421 ptars of the same group, furnishing ac curate data for calculations unattaina ble by visual means. Telescopic obser vations during eclipses are now subor dinate to photographic records. Rapidly changing objects in the heavens ob jects too fleeting to be observed by the eye are caught on the sensitized plate and stored up for leisurely study.

His finish came in the third round this time, however, two rounds ater than Fitz reached him.

Wrought Iron Range Snaps Not Such a Bargain After AIL Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. 12. The prosperity of the Kansas farmer" in the past year brought all kinds of fakirs and grafters into the state, all with the purpose of parting the farmer from his money. They had schemes innumerable, among which the most successful was the wrought iron range racket. Last September a fakir struck Leav enworth county. His plan was to sell the farmer a wrought iron. range for $69, payment to be made at the rate of $13.80 per year. The fakir had each pur chaser sign what purported to be a con tract, with the understanding that the first payment on the range was not to be made until November 1, 1901. Farmers bit right and left and were congratu lating themselves on, a good bargain, when, on November 1, a man calling himself N. A. Wood came around and demanded of each payment of the notes for $69 payable November 1. Each farmer attempted to explain the agree ment they supposed they had made with the fakir, but Wood had their signatures to notes for $69, payable November 1, and he demanded payment, or the notes would begin to draw 6 per cent, in terest. The farmer could do nothing but pay the note, but the next man who comes their way to sell wrought iron ranges had better take good measures to pro tect himself. The scheme was worked all over the county and made the sharp ers a barrel of money. WRECK AT LEAVENWORTH. Missouri Pacific Train Jumps the Track Passengers Injured. Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. 12.

The rest is owned and occupied by the Santa Fe roau. E. F. Getefaell, a real estate ag-ect. has conveyed to Jen sen the first 100 feet on the north end of the block between Plymouth place and the aiiey eastward. The consideration- was given at J1M3.000. The block which the Santa Fe com pany has tcquired is ImO feet wide and to-t iocig and is east of the present Larborn station. The present Dearborn station Is occu pied by the Jbnjn. the Grand Trunk, the Santa Fe, the Chicago Eastern Illinois, ihe Wesxem, Indiana, and the Chioazo A Erie roads, all of which co operate uji-r a entered into with the Wfsi-rn Indiana company.

Two new locomotives from the Rhode Island locomotive works for the Santa Fe arrived in Topeka Sunday from Fort Madisin, where they were- set up. They are numbered 52S and 527. They are big ten-wheelers and more spruce in ap pearance than the Dickson engines. The drivers are five and a half feet in di ameter and a great amount of mechan ism is under the immense boiler jacket. The big engine's steam chest sets at an angle to the cylinder, the covering slopes up slightly and is ail cast in one piece. They have extended piston nxis alsou Eight of the order of twenty which is now being delivered will be sent to La Junta, the rest to Albuquerque. They will all be sent west for service and assigned to passenger hauls on the mountain divisions it is expected.

The condi tion of Miss Roberts, daughter of Lord Rcbei-La, more seriouat TO AID THE COUNT Republicans Plan Amendments For Election Law. Probably Facilitate Reports of Election Returns. MAKE KANSAS FIRST. This State Nearly the Last to Be Reported A Condition Which Republicans Would Like to Change. The next legislature will provide some important reforms in tlie present election laws whicn will be Intended to facilitate the casting and counting of ballot3. The most important amendment now be ing considered will be one providing that a voter will be required to make but one mark on a ballot when he desires to vote a straight ticket for either party. Under the present system is i3 necessary for a voter to make a cross mark in every square opposite the name of Che candi date for whom be desires to vote. The new system would facilitat the vocing1 of a '-straight ticket." It is pr- p.-sed that an amendment to the present law shall provide for the printing of a small circle at the top of the re: pec tive tickets, in addition to the squares which appear opposite the nams of the candidates. Tho law will then be so framed that when a voter desires to cast a straight ticket he shall make the cross mark in the circle. W hen he desires to vote for di-Ternt persona on the various tickets, then it will be the duty to mark in the small squares as is now done for each nominee for whom the voter declares hia preference. Kansas is the only state which puts up with the delay3 necessitated in re:eivini? returns under the Australian ballo-t law without amending the law, so counting can be facilitated. Every state in the union had reports concerning the result of the election on the wires Tuesday night. During that time but two counties in Kansas got into the Associated Pres? or special bulle In reports. On was Saline; the other, Sedg wick. And the reports received fr rn Wichita and Salina were very inc-jmplet. The result in New York was known definitely by li o" clock Tuesday nijeht. The majority in New York was equal to haif the vote cast in Kansas, so the amendments to the law there have proven benerciai. In the headquarters of the national Re publican committee; in the state head quarters everybody knew that Kansas would be the last state to be heard from and it was. This subject was under discussion br a number of politicians at the headquarters today. Mr. Leland called attention to the fact that Kansas "is always the last state to be heard from." and said: 'Our election law should be amended so that the returns can be more easily obtained. The present system is an un necessary tax on the strength of men compelled to act as judges and clerks off election." Mr. Iceland then suerarested the adoption of the small circle ptan- This was approved immediately by the following Republicans there present: Chairman Alba ugh, Secretarv Tom Kel ly. C. F. "Lob.iell. J. R. Burton. W. W. Smith, Governor Stanley. Lieutenant Gov ernor Richter. Justice W. A. Johnston, Secretary Geore-e A. Clark. Treasurer Frank Grimes. State Superintendent. Nel son. N. D. Sanders of Crawford county; Congressman J. M. Miller. Irivate Secre tary Henry Allen, L. S, Cram. Frank L. Brown, J. L. Eristow. fourth assistant postmaster general Roy Riohey. assist ant state treasurer; George E. Cole. James A. Truutman, R. Welch, and many others. Some of t he Republican lawyers will soon begin the worit of framing a law to this end In S'-me of the eastern states the ame balloting system has been adopted. Some use the circle system; others count at the end of each hour, while other states authorize a count of the vote cast when ever the number deposited in the ballot box reaches this to be continued dur ing the day, each time 1W votes are rec orded. Two sets of judges have also ben suggjyted. as well as voting machines, but trie latter are not bein&- seriously con sidered by any one. POLICE COUET MILL. Several Petty Cases Disposed of by Judge Magaw. There was more business done In the police court Saturday afternoon than has been done any day since the police have Quit jointists. There were two cases of plain drunk to begin witi who were each fined $3. The boys, F. Harris, D. Butler, Wm. Henderson, M. Mcllann, R, Cutell. El Brown and C. Dorsey, who were arrested for trespassing on railroad property were ail brought before the judge and were fined $3. The boys have been in the court before for the same offense and have been let off on account of their youth. This time they will work out their fines on the rock pile. Anna Ellis, a negro girl, -was fined $10 for petit larceny. Anna stoutly main tained her innocence and said that she did not have to steal as she had some body to work for her, but it developed in the trial that she had stolen a pair of gloves from a dealer on lower Kansas avenue and had given them to a friend. He did not appreciate her act of kind ness and told the facts in the case to the police who arrested Anna. The case of Wm. Wilson, the waiter, who was arrested Friday night for shooting and resisting an officer, was postponed for ten days. Wilson's wife denies that he shot at her or that they hai any trouble whatever. Her story will in no way effect the charges against Wilson as he was not accused of shoot ing at her. The charges were shooting -ithin the city limits, drunk and dis orderly and resisting an officer. H. Kimball was fined $10 for endeavor ing to steal a pair of trousers. He claimed he was not attempting to steal but was looking over the goods with an idea of purchasing, but the evidence showed that he had a pair under his coat. SC. A Householder, Pep-, THE fOLR MEN WHO V J NOT LIKE THE BEST. Midnight Bell" a Hoyt Play That is a "Play." Tears ago Charles H. Hoyt wrote his first farce, "'A Bunch of Keys," and soon after that was produced, and was suc cessful he wrote "A Midnight Bell" and was afraid to produce it. It was so much different from the skit about the Keys family that he doubted whether the public would accept it. So he kept on writing and turned out "A Rag Baby" and a few more of that kind. Three years after it was written the manu script of "A Midnight Bell" was taken from the shelf, dusted off nd the play was produced in San Francisco by a Pa cific coast company, 'ihe play was suc cessful on the coast and then Hoyt de cided to risk the production of it in New York. Thomas Q. Seabrook was cast as "Deacon Tidd" and Maud Adams as "Dot." The production was a success and played to wonderful business in New England and the south. Hoyt smoked a different pipe when he wrote "A Midnight Bell" than that he smoked for "A Trip to Chinatown," "A Day and Night" and his other farces. Those- who saw "A Midnight Bell" at the Crawford Saturday night really doubted whether it was from the pen of Hoyt. There is a real melodramatic plot and the piece is a play, not a bunch of speci alties tied together with the thread of a plot. It is the story of a bank robbery. Squire Olcott, the president of the bank is accused of the theft by Stephen La baree. Ned Olcott, nephew of the bank president, confesses to the robbery to save Ms uncle. Olcott is not guilty of the theft but takes that way of shielding his uncle whom he believes innocent. Ol uo.t escapes and isassisted by the village school teacher, Nora Fairford. The old gossips of the town demand that the school mistress be dismissed because she assisted the prisoner in his escape. In the last act Deacon Tidd is accidentally locked In th belfry of the church at night while he was oiling the bell. Stephen Labaree comes to the church to secure the bonds which he stole from the bank and secreted in the cushion of his pew. As he is taking the bonds from the cushion Deacon Tidd commences ring ing of the bell to summon the people to the church and release him from the tower. Labaree has heart disease. The sudden clanging of the bell startles him so he falls In a swoon, the bonds drop to the floor beside him, the neighbors rush in and the guilty man is caught. It Rould be better if Hoyt had -written more clean plays like "A Midnight Bell." The second act of the piece rep resented the school house and slide. During the act Lillie Lawson.the 12 year old school girl introduced her specialties in the school room scene. Harry S. F.ob inson as "Deacon Tidd" wa3 perfect in the art Harry Mainhail as 'Napier Keene" and Alice Roseland as"Dot"with "Deacon Tidd' 'and Gus Tate as "Mar tin Tripp" the country boy furnished more real, good wholesome comedy than can be found in all of Hoyt's other pro ductions combined. In the four acts there was not a vulgar nor an objection able line. While the laughter brought by the jokes and funny sayings was not as spontaneous as in some other Hoyt pieces it was nevertheless more hearty. Hcyt wrote more real bright and witty lines in "A Midnight Bell" than in any of his other pieces. There is not a pair of tights nor a short skirt in the piece and for that reason it is hard for some to believe that Hoyt wrote it. But he did. Between the acts the gallery took oc casion to start a free fight. There were yells and swearing and a "rough house" generally, much to the disgust of those on the first floor and balcony but noth ing was done to stop ir The gallery has a nabit of running the entire Crawford Opera House during a performance. No effort is ever made to keep order in tine "peanut heaven." The gallery has no more right to start a free fight than have the people in the parquet but if a tight did start in the parquet the man agement would very quickly eject tne unruly patron. Why can not the same thing be done in the gallery? OUR SAVY IS WEAK. Admiral Crowninshield Says Store Men Are Badly XeededL "Washington. Nov. 12. The startling statement is made in the report of Ad miral Crowninshield, chief of the naviga tion bureau, that the present personnel of the navy would form barely one fourth of the total establishment ne.;e sary to fight a first-class turrpran powf-r. It barely sufficed for the Spanish war. and no longer can be considered, the re port says, as an effective nucleus about which a larger establishment could be formed in case cf war. The admiral regards this need of the navy for officers and men as most urgent. He says that the bureau can point to many cases where the service is being harmed by lack of officers. The raval acad- my Is suffering f r wint of instructors, and the present high standard of training can not be main tained. Every bureau in the department is short of officers, and the service, the report predicts. ?oon will fall behind in the struggle, first, for leaderships, and then, second, for eouality. with the other services. The disability of the seagoing corps o-f officers has greatly Increased since the Spanish war, and many of the best officers are being lost as a result of brakir g down from ov rwork. The admiral severely criticises the In effective effort of congrpss at the last session to mee-t the immediate needg for officers by authorizing the employment of retired officers, and he demands the im mediate repeal of that act- He claims that the retired list, intended a.3 the reward for faithful service, otherwise becomes a hardship and a punishment. The personnel act thus far has resulted In affording fewer officers than were on the active list before its passing, as. whi'.e authorizing an increase, it faiied to pro vide the means thereof, so there are n-w 131 vacancies In the list of naval officers, when vacancies can- be least afT rrdd. Therefore, it 1 rC' mmerded f r the next ten years that appointments to the naval academy be doubled, the president and r?presentatix-es in cona-ress appointing two instead of one wherever authorized now. and in addition senators being given the same privilee-e of appointment as rep resentatives. Then, to meet future neds. it is recommended that whenever con gress authorizes an increase of ves,3Is ro the navy, it also provide. In the same act. for an increase of oftrcrs and men to man the ships. The report savs that Fm gland, which this year lays down fteen war vessels, voted an increase of 4.240 of- T. P. King. Pop.

Modern cooking is often a dyspepsia producer, because we fry so many foods which should be baked, roasted, broiled or boiled; fried food Is indigestible be cause each particle of food Is Incased in hot grease which the digestive juices of the stomach can not easily penetrate; but properly cooked food is more easily digested than the same food uncooked, and we predict for the new fad a very limited following. The real cause of Indigestion is the lack of Hydrochloric acid and peptones in the stomach so that no matter how well cooked the foci, tt can not be well digested unless, the gastric juice is abundant and contains the necessary amount of peptones to dissolve the food. Therefore the most sensible cure fot poor digestion Is to take after each meal some safe and reliable digestive like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which sup ply peptones to digest the meat and eggs and diatase to digest the bread, potatoes and similar starchy foods. Laxative medicines never cure indi gestion because they have no digestive effect whatever upon the food; on the other hand if the food is properly di gested there will be no need of laxa tives: good digestion does away with constipation. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain pure aseptic pepsin (government testl diastase and the digestive elements which weak stomachs lack and they cure indigestion by assisting the over worked, rundown stomach in its hard work, until it is restored to its normal condition, when the tablets are no long er needed, but there are thousands of robust men and women who never eat a meal without taking one or two of Stu art's Tablets, because by so doing they can eat what they please and when they please and be free from any bad after effects. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are gold by druggists everywhere in the United States.

Colonel Whiteside received today orders from the war department fixing November 15 as the date for closing the department of Santiago de Cuba. This date will be a fortnight earlier than he had expected, and there is considerable uneasiness among the ofScers, who are not certain how the change will affect them per sonally. The general opinion, however, is that there will be few changes beyond calling Santiago a district hereafter in stead of a department headquarters. General Wood is "xpected to arrive here next Tuesday. The Cubans severe ly criticise the war department's ac tion. They have always been jealous of Havana and now they say that the Americans.following Spanish custom are robbing Santiago for the benent of Ha vana. FATAL APPLE BLOSSOMS. PTrom the New Tork Sun.3 A man from the neighborhood of Port Jervis was walking along Broadway last Friday with a friend when they passed a fruit stand with a particularly fine dis play of apples. "T7ghr" he exclaimed as their fragrance reached him. "I don't like that smell. It reminds me of some thing I want to forget." "Tes," he went on in response to in quiries, "Til explain what I mean. Up at my home I have a big apple tree that grows through a porch, or rather around which I built the porch in making some changes in the house, and not wanting to destroy the tree. Ten years ago in October blossoms appeared on the tree, and our servant girl called our attention to it. I gave it no thought, except the natural surprise of seeing apple blos soms in October, but the girl said it was a sure sign of death to some one of the family, and she was so disturbed by it that she began to cry. We tried to quiet her by ridiculing her silly notion, but she insisted on the sign being true. "We thought no more about it, but within two months my wife died. Then no more blossoms appeared on the tree for three years, and one day in October my mother, who had not been well, call ed my attention to the tree blossoming again, and she said it would be her turn next. I called her silly and tried to get It out of her mind, but she would insist upon it. Within less than a month she was dead. Since that time no blossoms have appeared on the tree In October until this year, and th day I left home quite a big bunch ha "ome out. Pos sibly there is nothing in it at all. but my experience has shown me differently, though it may only be accidental, and I can tell you I am in a state of suspense that is anything but comfortable, and I don't even like to look at apples." E. B. Ward, Rep. THE KANSAS STATE SENATE SOME LONDON VINEYARDS. fFrora the London Dally MalLJ Today is the day of the wine fakir. Never before in the history of the trad have his devices been so numerous and his concoctions so villainous. Never be fore, too, have his profits been more sat isfactory. So long as there is a demand for full-bodied "Burgundies" and "clar ets" at. say. 6s. a dozen, that demands will be supplied. There is a vast difference between fa bricated and adulterated wine. latter is generally pretty easy to deal with. Fabricated wine is far more diffi cult of detection. Here we have a concoction of a more or less chemical nature, which Is de signed with the ex or ess idea of closely imitating the genuine wirfe, in color "bouquet." and taste. One favorite fab rication consists of SO per cent of water. 5ri per cent of alcohol, and 4Vi per cent of tannin. The two latter ingredients are obtained from the cheapest form of Im ported raisins. Very frequently these "raisins" con sist of squeezed grape husks which have already done genuine service In i soma French wine press. They cost next to nothing to import, are retermented here In England, ami their "juice" is eked out with the aid of tartaric ncid and molasses. Consequently their maker Is enabled to sell his concoction at th- ridiculously low price of about Is. 2d per gallon, and at the same time to make an excellent profit upon the trans action. Much of his beverage first sees the light in or near London. The retailer sells it again at about 2s. 6d. per gallon; or. If bottled and beauti fully sealed and cobwebbed. at the con siderably enhanced price of. say. six pence per pint bottle "Our famous 6s. claret." A particularly pungent revelation of the beauties of certain British "light wines" was afforded the food preserva tives committee by Prof. W. H. Corfleli This scientist, who is consulting sani tary adviser to H. M. office of work3, stated that he commonly found salicyiic acid in these "vintages." Salicylic acid, added he, for the benefit of his non scientific hearers, was a slightly acrid, irritating substance w-hich was much In demand among affiicted people as a corn solvent. A fabricated sherry, which can be sold at a good profit for Is a bottle, is prepared from cider and more obnox ious things. "Champagne." which is also better left untouched, ia prepared by the wily fabricator. Whatever the shortcomings of the British wine fakir, and they are many. It is certain that for sheer audacity he must yield the palm to his Teutonic competitors. In the city of Hamburg alone it is possible to purchase Imita tions of practically every wine and spirit under the sun at prices before which the British wine fakir must stand aghast. With spirits, however, the palate Is a better guide. A British East Indian house was recently offered by Hamburg exporters whisky at 2s. lld. per dozen cases, and brandy at 3s. 11. This is the sort cf poison of which Germany an nually supplies upward of a million's worth to the Niger Coast Protectorate. The liquor is the most villainous potato spirit, carefully disguised by strong es sences and sham labels. France is not less culpable. She only produces about 40,000 hectolitres of gen uine French brandy, yet she exports about 2SO.0O0 hectolitres In addition to the 2.000, consumed in hr own land. During the past few months, however, the consumer of alcohol has been brous-ht face to face with yet another fearful source for his favorite bever ages. Thanks to the energetic research es of Dr. Simonsen of Christiania, it is now possible to produce alcohol fru-m both paper and sawdust. ACCUSED OF TRICKING. Jockey Reiff Thought Not to Have Hidden Croker'a Horse to 'Win. London. Nov. 12. Richard Croker's horse The Scotchman II. with Lester Reiff up. having defeated Lord Dur ham's Gerolstein. at Liverpool, after having been badly beaten by Oeroistetn at Doncaster. the local stewards today summoned Wishard. the trainer, and Reiff for an explanation of the Doncas ter running. They afterward decided to refer the matter to the stewards of the Jockey club. The World's Largest Hop Tarda. From the San Francisco Chronicle. In Sonoma, Sacramento, Mendocino, Alameda, Tolo, Tuba and San Joaquin counties hops are extensively and suc cessfully grown. The plantations of the state combined would form one enor mous area of 7.500 acres, a far-reaching expanse of valley land, nearly twelve miles square and containing more than 9.000,000 hop vines, yielding in a favor able season almost J2,000,iXiO worth of dried hops. It Is not generally known, but the larsst hop yards in the world are In California, along the Sacramento, Rus sian and Feather rivers, and the very biegest hop field on earth is at Pleasan ton, in Alameda county, where ther are 363 acres, with more than 445,000 vines under one wire. As the picking must all be done by hand and within the short season when the blossoms are at their best, an army of people has to be suddenly mustered for the harvest. The mild climatic con ditions that favor the development of the hop and the pleasant Inland valleys where it is grown, combine to make hop picking something of a summer time de light, fr the work is neither difficult nor arduous and the pay is fair. There are but two drawbacks to hop picking. One is so called hop-poisoning, which is simply a sort of priekiy heat or rash sometimes produced by contact of face and arms with the nettle-like fuzz on tne stalks of the hop vine. It does not affect all pickers. The other is the dark staining of the hands resulting from the resin of the blossom. It may be removed by rubbing with the crushed green leaves of the hop.

The Enslish have probably concluded that the Transvaal armies are feline In their nature. When a man wears a campaign badge as big as a saucer put it down that he is going to run for office. The man who will champion an anti spoils law in the next Kansas legislature will be deservedly popular. The Stahl confirmation may come up soon if the members of the city coun cil can be held loner enough. Since Lord Salisbury has been beard from why not have an American politi cal ode by Rudyard Kipling. A fisht has been started against 'Blind Pigs" in Chicago. Topeka has a few animals of that nature herself. Governor John R. Tanner of Illinois has served notice on Senator Cullom that he has no life lease on the senator ship. Perhaps it was the accent acquired by Fpeaker Steve Osborn in England last summer that defeated him for the legis lature. The Kansas exposition will be the next big thing in the west. Everyone should do something to help it along, for 1904 will soon be here. The Prince of "Wales has taken to wearing eyeglasses which is a signal for every fop in the universe to be afflicted with failing eyesight. The crimson colors have again gone down before the Washburn blue. At last after long years of waiting the day of retribution is at hand. General MacArthur says the Filipinos are an intelligent people and it will take a long time to conquer them. This will probably start Edwin Atkinson.

Mars is to be photographed next Feb ruary by Harvard professors. Some one ought to give the planet the "tip" so that it may put on its Sunday clothes.

Major General Otis will now be able to compare Chicago weather with that of the Philippines. If he could live in the Philippines he can probably exist In Chicago. Kansas will soon have four new su preme court judges. There will be no trouble in finding lawyers who are will ing to make martyrs of themselves by accepting the positions. Howard Gould's ex-valet has been awarded $5,000 by a New York court. It would have been worth ten times that sum to Mr. Gould if Valet Mowbray had not told the court some of the things he knew. There Is no use to waste sympathy on William J. Bryan. He has declined an offer of $10,000 a year for his services and will probably be able to live on the products of his farm without borrowing from Jiis neighbors. Ambassador Choate's rejoinder, when Premier Salisbury declared himself to have favored McKinley's election, that he was pleased that the statement was not made before the election, was prob ably lost on the" British. While City Attorney Bird is worrying about a new liquor ordinance some one might remind him that the city already has a liquor ordinance. The ordinance repealing the one which served the city for years has been declared void. What is the matter with the old ordinance? GREAT "LAKE COMMERCE. The great water transportation route which stretches from Buffalo to Chicago sr.d Duluth is sharing in the prosperity and activity which characterizes vari ous branches of business In the "L'nited -States today. The monthly statement of lake commerce prepared by the bu reau of statistics shows that -during September 5,957 vessels entered the 37 principal ports on the great lakes, and from the opening of the navigation sea son up to October 1 the vessel entrances surrogated 28,039. Chicago leads the list of ports, 1,028 vessels having en twed her harbor during September and 5,761 during the season. The ports of Buffalo, Cleveland and Milwaukee each, however, show a record in excess of 2,000 vessels for the season, and at the port3 of Detroit, Duluth and Toledo the arrivals have ranged from 1,000 to 1, G00. A considerable portion of the general public seems to have gained the impres sion that the traffic of the great lakes is confined to the transportation of a few commodities, such as iron ore, coal, breadstuffs and lumber. That this is far from being the case could not be more conclusively proven than by citing the fact that in September 395,767 tons of unclassified freight' were moved, and the total njovement for the season thus far aggregates 2.3S6.S88 tons. livery prominent port on the lakes Is repre sented In this total. The recent organization In the great lake district of a new transportation company which has placed orders for new boats designed especially to carry the products of the Calumet and Hecla copper mine seems to call attention to the volume of this traffic already tak ing the water route. During Septem ber there were shipped by boat 17,029 tons of copper, and for the season to October 1 the total movement is 113, 693 tons. Of the latter amount, 81,889 tons, or more than two-thirds of the total, was received at Buffalo, whereas the heaviest shipping record is that of West Superior, which during the season has sent out 56,939 tons. The movement of breadstuffs is not, of course, so interesting as it will prove when compared with the movement by rail, for which figures will be available at the end of the calendar year; never theless the statement of this phase of the water-borne commerce is significant in many ways. The bureau of statistics' compilation discloses many unique characteristics of the commerce of the great lakes. For instance, in the case of Conneaut, O., which Andrew Carnegie has declared w ill one day be the greatest ore unload ing port in the world, the 353 vessels which have entered the harbor this sea son have brought 1,748,255 tons of iron ore, or a greater quantity than was dis charged at any other port, with two ex ceptions. One of these exceptions i3 the port of Ashtabula, also on Lake Erie. Ashtabula will this season rank as the greatest ore receiving port in America, having received up to October 1 a total of 2,933,647 tons. The lake lumber" trade, In which there was such demoralization last year, ap pears to be making a very favorable showing this season. For the month of September the aggregate cargoes trans ported amounted to 436.926,000 feet, and for the season up to October 1, one bil lion. 427 million feet. Duluth ranks as the greatest lumber shipping port, hav ing sent out 277,071,000 feet during the season. Chicago leads the list of re ceiving ports. 378,546,000 feet having been unloaded at her wharves, Cleve land is a pretty close second with a record of 339,701,000 feet for the season. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. You come pretty near having a fuss with every man you win a bet from. Out west, it is improper to call ma laria nervous prostration unless one has an income of $125 a month. An Atchison girl who is very freckled calls the freckles polka dots," and feels more reconciled: polka dots are all the rage. If you are compelled to work, get a regular job, and work at it: don't be come an "agent," and bother the life out of busy people. This is the season when the time the firemen make in dressing for a fire, is beaten by the time made by those who sleep in cold rooms. Twelve married women went off to the theater together last night, and not one was asked, "Where is your hus band?" Do the men ever escape? When boys "shake" on a thing, it is very sacred. Two Atchison boys lately made an election bet, and "shook" on it, and now that one boy is trying to back out, there Is great indignation among his companions. A worthy old colored woman of Atch ison, who is very religious, was recently asked: "When you go to heaven, how are you going to fix the old prejudice between the whites and blacks?" The old woman thought awhile, and replied. "They ain't going to be no whites there." Carelessness is the great fault of Americans. It is said of an Atchison man who is generally thought to be rich, that te is so careless that his af fairs are in a tangle, and will not re alize much at his death. He keeps on working, but neglects to take care of what he has already made. All of you do the same thing. The paramount is sue with you should be, quit being so careless. An Atchison girl is preparing for her "keep" in old age. She has girls from other towns visit her, and they can stay as long as they desire. The Atchi son girl gives parties for her visitors and sees that they have good times gen erally. Before a girl leaves she must sign a contract which provides that the visitor, party of the second part, shall permit her hostess, party of the first part, to visit party of the second part at any time during the old age of party of the first part, remaining equally as lor.a as did party of the second part. All these visits the Atchison girl records in a book, and she already has enough to her credit to keep her several years. When the Atchison girl gete old she will take her account book under her arm, and go collecting. If any one should for get, and make objections the Atchison girl will show the contract, and let the kicker pay up or lay herself liable for a damage suit. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. What man has done woman wants to do. True wit is never injurious to others. Conceit is but the self-esteem of the other fellow. A dentist says teeth are like verbs regular, irregular and defective. The lazy man's bed is too short for him because he is too long in it. Attend to trifles today and the import ant matters will come along in due time. Grass isn't necessarily older than yourself because it happens to be past-ur-age. Some church-goers would take chances and so the other way if salvation wasn't free. A Chicago artist has just finished a fine picture of still-life. It is entitled "St. Louis After 9 P. M." Somehow the author of a love story never sees the wart on the nose of his hero or the freckles on the face of his nerotne. It isn't work that kills a man. It's usually scheming how he can put In the most time on a short Job that saps up me iiuman energy. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. tFrom the Philadelphia Record.! With the deaf mute actions always speak louder than words. The man who blows his own horn nat urally comes to blows. Every stage has its wings, but It takes an angel to make them nutter. Any shoe dealer will tell you that a slippery customer is not always the one who buys slippers. Blobbs "Did you make any freak election bets?" Slobbs "I put up my good money on Bryan." Some men become pessimistic because a girl refused them, and others develop the same symptoms because she didn't. Sillicus "I made a bet that if McKin ley was elected I would wear a straw hat all winter." Cynious "Well, you'll find it easier to talk through." Muggins "Do you really hate him as much as you pretend to?" Buggins "'Hate him! Why. man, I hate him with the hatred that a barber feels for a man who lets his whiskers grow." Nell "Why is the Colonel's wife wear ing half-mourning?" Belle "She has heard through private sources from the Philippines that the Colonel has been half-shot ever since he went out there." The Chronic Bachelor, who, of course, doesn't know anything about these things, says it's a wise man who con vinces his wife that she has convinced him, and then does as he pleases. "Prythee tell me," said the Lord High Chamberlain, "does the king beat the queen? "According to Hoyle. ves." quoth the Court Jester; "but not in thte Imperial palace; not if the Queen knows nersell. Wigg "Why are vou so lubilant over election? I thought you were a Bryan man." Wagg "So I am. But, you know that sore-eyed, mangy dog of my wife's? Well, I prevailed upon her to bet it on Bryan." The chap who wagers with a girl. And two score kisses bets. Must be, forsooth, a knavish churl. Unless he pays his debts. TO TALK llUiltiATION. National Congress Meets in Chicago Nov 21-24. Chicago, Nov. 12. The ninth annual session of the National Irrigation Con gress which this year meets in Chicago on November 21, 22, 23, 24, promises to be of exceptional interest and import ance to the west. This is the first ses- sion of the congress which has been held any city east of the Missouri river. and it should be well represented by western men familiar with the subjects to oe discussed, (jnicago Is a great bus iness center and the opportunity is a splendid one to present to the business people and interests of the country the entire problem of land and water. lhe Irrigation Congress has assumed a truly national character and the pro gramme which has been prepared for this session will attract wide attention. Some of the most prominent men of the country will speak senators and mem bers of congress, government officials and some of the heaviest business men of Chicago, who see the chance for the development of trade through the open ing of the west by '.rrigation. The great Auditorium theater which seats four thousand people has been secured for the evening sessions and illustrated lec tures will be given on forestry and irri gation. COMING DRAMATIC EYENTS. A Fi'ohman company will present 'Sherlock Holmes"' at the Crawford to night. William Gillette, the playwright and actor, is responsible for the drama tization and for creating the title part. Villains, saia Mr. Gillette to an Evening World reporter, "have come to stay. The public loves villains, and Sherlock Holmes has them to burn. While all the world may love a lover it has a passion for villains. It hasn't ever had enough of them, and I'm go ing in for their manufacture on a whole sale scale. Heavyweights, lightweights. blonde, brunette and red headed, pol ished and in the rough, rich villains and poor but honest ones, handsome and homely, bad, very bad and most bad. Thei'e are many kinds that haven't had much show on the stage, and I'm going to start a school tor them. I feel it s the villain's turn." "You seem to have favored them in Sherlock Holmes.' "Only a beginning. There are twenty characters in the piece, and only fifteen of them are villains. My imagination gave out at fifteen, so I had to fill in with five virtuous characters. But my next play will profit by my experience. It'll be a record breaker as to villains." "How many?" "All of them villains." "What will you do about rewarding virtue?" 'One of the villains may be allowed a virtuous moment and be rewarded by Tiso tosf of tha BkU$ki That Is where some people feel weak all the time. They are likely to be despondent and it is not unusual to find them borrowing trouble as if they hadn't enough already. The fact is their kidneys are weak, either naturally or because of sickness, exposure, worry or other influences. "I am thankful to gay." writes J. L. Camp bell, of Sycamore, 111., that Hood's Sarsapa rilla has cured me. For many years I was troubled with backache. At times I was so bad I had to be helped from the bed or chair. 1 am now well and stronsr and free from pain." What this ereat medicine did for him it has done for others. Hood's Sssrsspsrilla Promises to cure and keeps the promise. Begin treatment with Hood's today. escaping from the villainous heroine In stead of marrying her. Men are born villains, bred villains, mature Into vil lains and create little villains who grow up in crime by their own fireside and get used to it crime. There's where I'll get my virtuous episode in my next play. The villains will make a virtue of necessity and be amply rewarded at the final drop of the curtain." Aiden Benedict's "Fabio Romanl," which will be presented at the Crawford Tuesday night, is an adaptation by Chas. W. Chase of Marie Carelli's fa mous novel entitled "The Vendetta." Fantastic as the title Is, suggestive of a riot of nonsense and frolic, "A Texas Steer." which will be seen here at the Crawford Wednesday night, presents an interesting story in a dramatic way, following an ingeniously constructed plot. The principal role, "Maverick Brander," the new congressman, is as sumed by James R. McCann, and the "Minister from Dahomey" by Will H. Bray. Miss Florence Rossland plays "Bossy," the sweet, lovable, independent daughter of the congressman, and a typical Texas girl. WAN T A NEW TAMMAN Y. New York Democrats Plan to Beat Croker. New York, Nov. 12. Richard Croker and two of his sons will sail for Europe, it is said, about December 1, to spend the winter at Mr. Croker's country seat, Wantage, England. Tammany friends of Mr. Croker say he is depressed over the Republican vic tory everywhere, but he intends to re turn here to lead the fight for the elec tion of a Tammany mayor next year. He is amused at the early development of the anti-Tammany movement, his friends say, and anticipates another division like that in 1S97 in the anti Tammany forces. Significant mention of John W. Keller, who is president of Mr. Croker's Demo cratic club, is heard for the Tammany mayoralty nomination. Mr. Keller's associates regard him as the coming man for the mayoralty, but Mr. Croker is not divulging his plans yet. The present menace to Tammany which is worrying Mr. Croker most just now is the proposed formation of a new Democratic organization in this city with Bird S. Coler as leader. Many Democrats have been talking this over lately and it is said within a few days a conference will be called. At this con ference committees will be formed, re ports will be heard and ways and means will be discussed for forming a new Democratic organization. Then steps will be taken to build up an organiza tion in each district and a central coun ty committee will be formed. It is believed that this new organiza tion will alienate from Tammany hun dreds and thousands of votes. Such men as Henry D. Purrey, ex-Postmaster Charles W. Dayton. ex-Mayor Gilroy, John D. Crimmins, William F. Sheehan, ex-Senator Jacob A. Cantor, John C. Sheehan and many other Democrats whom Croker drove out of the organiza tion stand ready and willing to take up arms against Tammany and will be the willing leaders in the new body. Ex- Mayor Grace, ex-Mayor Abram S. Hew itt. William C. Whitney, Frederick Cou- dert and others, it is said, will support the movement against Tammany in ev ery way in their power. Not until September can anything be accomplished that will mean the over throw of Mr. Croker and the reorganiza tion of Tammany hall, said a Demo cratic leader today "Of course, a new organization can be built up on the lines of the old county Democracy, but there are few who believe it would be success ful as such. Most of the old county De mocracy leaders are at present in Tam many. The fight, as John C. Sheehan pointed out, must be made inside the or ganization. Wrhat is wanted is a. new Tammany and an attempt to secure one will be made at the primaries. Between this time and then a sentiment will be worked up that will prove irresistible. Old leaders will be swept away. Then the reorganization will come." DYER THE FIRST. Announces His Candidacy For Ser geant at Arms of House. D. B. Dyer of Smith Center is the first candidate to make announcement of a desire to be sergeant at arms of the house of representatives. There is at this time no other candidate for this place. Mr. Dyer lives in the Sixth congres sional district.

Arsene Alexandre, art critic of the Figaro, is pictorial editor, comes out to day with its entire front page devoted to a disgusting colored caricature of Queen "Victoria, represented as a green vampire sucking the blood from the bare head of Kruger, who stands on French soil grasping a broken rifle.

Iioss in Election Bets Offset by Gain in Stock Deals, New York, Nov. 12. It was estimated in Wall street that Richard Croker had made $200,000 out of the election in stock deals and that his loss in bets had been only $50,000. According to the street, he Btfxd a chance to win anywhere from $100,000 to $200,000 regardless of the re sult at the polls. It was explained that Mr. Croker had purchased local traction stock three and four weeks ago, rumors that Tammany Hall relieved the pressure on Manhat tan elevated and Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit stocks quickly following. At that ,time those two stocks were selling 10 to id points Deiow their present level. Their decline to such prices was attributed in part to political pressure. Purchases of 20,000 shares are credited to Mr. Croker. Many brokers in the street would have bought that block for almost anyone with $200,000 cash to margin. From Mr. Croker half that margin, or perhaps less, would have been acceptable. An advance of ten points would have netted a profit of $200,000. PAN AMERICAN MEETING.

She sleeps the sleep of almost apparent death 24 hours a day, though her heart and pulse are quite normal. It Is a strange case, and half a doien Brooklyn physicians are completely mystified. She was rocked to sleep a week ago yesterday and since then hasn't waked up. Samuel Levitt lives at 642 Flushing avenue with his wife and dx little ones, of whom baby Tetta Is the youngfit. He Is a hard working man who hits a cozy home. Little Yetta toddled In from the strett on Thursday of last week and told her mother that she had a headache.

"I could find no traca of disease In any organs of the body," said Dr. Harh lln yesterday. "When I pricked thr ex tremities with a needie the child did not cry or give any expression of puln. There was nothing but a sltRht twitch ing of the muscles.

TAN WYCK ICE FIASCO. Nfo Convincing Evidence Has Been Furnished Against the Mayor. New York, Nov. 12. Mayor Van Wyck stands in no danger of removal, accord ing to the opinion of lawyers cennected with the prosecution of the American Ice company. Attorney General Davies' letter to Governor Roosevelt, summing up the accusations against the mayor, is expected to cause the ultimate dis missal of the case. The chief reason why this 19 necessary is that the city newspapers which made the charges.and promised to substantiate them, have not produced evidence sufficient to convict anybody; on the contrary, it has dis missed its lawyers, J. Noble Hayes and Wheeler H. Peckham. This paper gives no reason for its course, and leaves the public to con jecture that the retaining of counsel was merely for a journalistic show, to be cut off when the time for money and acts arrived- The lawyers retained by the other paper w hich took a hand in the Ice trust squabble say they are glad the matter has been dropped. "leaving the field free for an honest fight against dear ice and the American Ice monop oly." This paper may also file charges against the mayor, and its lawyers promise to furnish evidence. PAN-AMERICAN MEETING. "United St&tes Will Participate in Con ference in Mexico. New York, Nov. 12. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Secretary Hay, on behalf of the United States, has formally accepted the invi tation of the Mexican government to participate in the Pan-American confer ence to be held in the City of Mexico next year. Chili is understood to be satisfied with the programme setting forth that the subjects to be discussed by the confer ence will not be extended at the sugges tion of any power, and her formal ac ceptance of the invitation will probably be made soon. Fernando E. Guachalla, minister of Bolivia, says that the object of his mis sion is not to obtain the intervention of the United States in the Tacna-Arica controversy with Chili. The Bolivian government, he says, ha3 permanently established a legation here and his mis sion is to promote the friendly relations existing between the governments. CRIMINAL DOCKET.

The opening of the Interior of China to modern civili zation is reparded at Washington, says a Journal and Advertiser special, as a probable outcome of the present negoti ations between China and the powers. While the details are being left to the ministers at Pekin, in order to secure a basis of agreement, the information which is reaching the state department and the various representatives of the powers In Washington indicates that sever 1 important steps wiil probably be taken in the negotiations now going on which w ill tend to make easier the adop tion of modern economic idaas in the Celestial empire. The steps to be taken turn to a consid erable extent upon the question of the payment of the indemnity. An effort is being made by the United States, sup ported by the other liberal powers, to check the excessive demands and limit the money payment to the actual dam ages suffered by the powers with, their citizens and subjects during the recent troubles. Notwithstanding this policy of moderation, the amount to be asked of China by all the powers will be con siderable say $100,000,000 or J200,000.0u0. It may be possibie to accept the princi pal in bonds, but these bonds will not find a ready market unless the Interest Is secured in some effective manner and it is understood, tacitly at least, that the support of the civilized powers wiil be given for its payment in case of de fault on the part of the Chinese Imper ial government. It is felt both by the Chinese liberals at home and by the representatives of some cf the powers that it is not wise nor practicable to force reforms upon the whole of China with a rapidity which might lead to fresh outbreaks among the ignt.rant masses, like those which have recently aroused them against the "foreign devils." It is hoped however, in view of the representations which are reaching the state department that the Chinese Imperial government will adopt a policy which will extend economic reform and open the interior of China to the commerce of the civiliz ed powers as rapidly as advantage can be taken of such opportunity. an ia po rtant"secret. XT. S. Agent Obtains Exact Know ledge of New French Field Gun New York, Nov. 12. A special dis patch from Washington to the Herald says that it was a decided surprise to the representatives of the foreign gov ernments at the capital and to the United States officials generally to learn that an agent of the United States war department, as has been publish!, had obtained such exact and detailed knowl edge of the plans for the new French field guns as to enable him to construct such a gun for the United States. French held artillery is admittedly in advance of that of any other govern ment in the world. There have been important features about th guna and their carriages that have been for sev eral years kept secret from the other powers. It was on a charge cf having revealed to Germany some of the features of an earlier type of this gun that Caotain Dreyfus was sentenced to imprisonment on oevil s island. It was equally sur prising that the war department per mitted thi3 information to become pub lic, but no one was more surprised at the publication than were the high offi cials of that department. What course the French government will adopt in the matter no one at Washington knows. No fault can be. found with the government of the Unit ed States for accepting the information that has been offered. The several civ ilized governments maintain military and naval attaches at the capitals of other powers for the expre purpose of learning all that is possible about the armaments cf the countries to which they -are accredited. It is possible that France will never make any inquiries of this government In the matter. Mr. Thiebaut. the charge d'affaires of the French embassy, it is understood, is disposed to doubt whether much information of value has been ob tained. He has not yet heard from his government in any way in regard to the matter. Lieutenant General Miles, who is president of the board of ordnance and fortifications, is inclined to make light of the publication. "Indentions in all countries," he said last night, are continually working in the science of artillery and explosives, incorporating the result of their re searches in improvements presented to their government for trial and adop tion. Is it strange that the concentra tion of different minds on the subject should produce the same result? It is understood that First Lieutenant Mott. Seventh infantry, military attache in Paris, had n connection whatever with the matter. It is Intimated that the individual who disclosed the infor mation to General Miles is now in Wash ington, but by the very nature of things his identity must be kept secret. FEE BUYER WINS.

A dispatch to the Tribune from London, says: The first council since the reorganiza tion of the govern men t will be beid at Windsor today. The ministerial pro gramme for the session of parliament will be worked out in a series of cabi net meetings before Chrtptmaa. The ministry is committed to a single policy the reorganization of the military sys tem and this may mean much or little. Probably there will be a long perirwl if expert investigation after Lurd Rob erts1 return, and no immediate legisla tion. A lanje number of techntcai ques tions relating to ftune, cavalry equip ment, transport and ther d-tails, wiil be raised, and the system of trnJnlnir soldiers wiil be altered. These matters do not require legislation, but are purely administrative. One charge has already 'neen made, almost withrAit oUservatiuei. The Brltih aoldlera in South Afrtf-a knew nothing about lntrenchine:. At Colenso and Magersfonteln they dil not use the spade, and when ther tried to dir on the summit cf Spion. kop th'-y made very bad trenches. An army offi cer telis me that in rrcer.t maneuvres in various parts of the United Kirirdom the soldiers have keen drilled in the use e-f the spad. and taught the art -f trenching.

In a decision handed down today Surrogate Fitzger ald dismisses the contest to the probate of the will of Kobert Bonner, the pub lisher and admits the will to probate. Mr. Bonner died July 6, 1SS9. In a will dated June 6, 1S99, after making several important bequests, Mr. Bonner divided the residue of his estate into four parts, leaving one part each to his three child ren. Kobert F. Bonner, Frederick Bon ner and Mrs. Emma Forbes. The fourth share was left to the minor children of the testator's dead son, Andrew Allen Bonner.

PORTO RICO TROOPS. War Department Greatly Reduces the Force. "Washington, Nov. 12. The following order was made public at the war de partment today: War Department, Washington, Nov. 9. 19u0. By direction of the president, the department of Porto Rico will be dis continued on December 15, 1900, and the Island of Porto Rico and the islands and keys adjacent thereto, will be attached to the department of the east, and desig nated the district of Porto Rico. The colonel, lieutenant colonel, head quarters, band and one battalion of the i'.:ev-mh inrantry, and the squadron of the Fifth cavalry, now serving in Porto Kico will be relieved from duty therein as soon as practicable and sent to New York City, whence they will proceed to such stations as may be designated here after. Brigadier General George W. Davis, tT. S. V., now in command of the depart ment of Porto Rico, will, upon the dis continuance of that department repair to Manila. Philippine Islands, and re port to the commanding general, divis ion of the Philippines, for assignment to duty as Inspector general of that di vision. ELIHU ROOT, Secretary of War. By command of Lieut. Gen. Bliss. H. C. CORBIN, Adjutant General. This order was Issued after a full ca ble consultation with Governor Allen of Porto Rleo, and after General Davis.who lately has been in command, had made his recommendations. It was the opin ion of Governor Allen that the reduc tions of the force in Porto Rico would be eminently satisfactory to the people of the island and that the force be re tained would he ample for all present purposes. This order leaves in Porto Kico the native regiment consisting of S'O men, a battalion of the Eleventh in fantry and batteries F and G of the Fifth artillery. These troops will be under the command of Lieutenant Col onel James A. Buchanan, who is now in command of the native regiment. It is quite probable that the troops, which are ordered from Porto Rico may in time be sent to the Philippines. KANSAS EXPOSITION Meeting Will Be Held Tomorrow to Discuss Measures. Now that the election is over and pub lic men have some time to look after other matters than making sure that they will be elected, a. meeting of the board of directors of the Kansas Semi centennial Exposition has been called. It seemed almost impossible to get anyone to take an active Interest in the work before the election, but now the work has again started off nicely. The directors will meet with Secre tary of Agriculture F. D. Coburn, at his office in the state house, tomorrow at 2 o'clock, when plans for immediate work will be discussed. Each of the banks of the state have blanks on which to fill out applications for capital Btock In the association, and it is anticipated that the stock will all be subscribed within a short time. The most mponant work now is to secure the appropriation of a sum of money from the legislature, and a plan of campaign will be discussed and mapped out tomorrow. The Topeka Commercial club at its session Wednesday night will take some action favorable to the movement, as will also the delegates to the meeting of tne ea era. tea commercial clubs of Kan sas when they meet la a. body in this city January 16.

COFslBS GIVES UP. Will Not Contest Beckham's Election in Kentucky. Louisville, Nov. 12. After a meeting of the Republican campaign committee today Chairman Leslie Combs gave out a statement, in which after reiterating his charges of wholesale fraud on the part of the Democrats, he said: "The result of this election, when thoughtfully considered is full of faope and without discouragement. As long as we can show a substantial growth of strength in behalf of the great princi ples for which we are contending we may look forward with abiding faith in me power or tne people to govern them selves. In the contest which is 4 there was no large silent vote, which has to oe ngured upon for the future and there was no third ticket with a large vote, whose future action must be taken into consideration, but in an open, face to face conflict, with a full expression of the entire vote of the state, our plurality in Kentucky is established. "There will be no contest over the gubernatorial vote. There is no tribunal to which we can appeal with any hope of an impartial hearing. "It is not within the province of this committee to decide for the party or congressional candidates, what is advis able with regard to contests for the electoral vote, or congressional seats," FRENCH GUN SECRET. Government Has Taken No Official Notice of the Publication. Washington, Nov. 12. The French am bassador has thus far given no official recognition to the publication that an agent of the war department has placed at the disposal of the board of fortifi cations the secrets of the new French field gun. It can be stated positively that the French charge d'affaires, M Thiebaut, will take no initiative In the matter. The publication has come to his atten tion, unofficially, but it is not usual to take cognizance of such publications be yond forwarding them as a matter of information to the proper authorities. Naturally, however, this particular pub lication has amused great interest and not a little surprise, although the French officials are careful to refrain from the slightest expression of their personal views on the subject.

Was Interested in the Old Kan sas Pacific. UE LOST MUCH MOXET. Panic of 1893 Swept Away His Fortune. Son-In-Law or William Lloyd Garrison. New York, Nov. 12 Henry ViHara, the railroad magnate and financier, died at his summer residence at Dobbs Ferry early today. Mr. Villard had intended to return to New York about the middle of last month but his condition was then so precarious that his physicians advised him to remain at his country home until he should have gained more strength. A week ago he caught a heavy cold and since then his condition had been gradually growing worse. Two physicians had been with him constant ly for a week past. He had been unconscious for two days. His death it is said, was caused by cancer of the throat. The funeral will take place Wednesday. Henry Villard was born Heinrich Hilgard in Speyer, Rhenish Bavaria, on April 11, 1835. His great uncle, Theo dore, father of Julius Hilgard, who be came superintendent of the United State coast survey, led a migration of the family connection to Belleville, 111., in 1S35. His father, Gustav, was in the Judicial service of Bavarian government and ended judge of the supreme court at Munich. Young Hilgard was educated at schools in Zweibrucken, Phalsbourg and Speyer, but in October, 1S53, broke off his university studies and set out forthe United States intending to join the col ony of his relatives at Belleville. His father's opposition to this step made him borrow the surname of a French school mate at Phalsbourg and he became Henry Villard. Arriving at Belleville, he became a newspaper reporter and continued in the profession until 1868. During these years he served as a legislative corre spondent In Indiana and Illinois, a po litical reporter, reporting the Lincoln Douglas debates, the Chicago conven tion which nominated Lincoln, the Lin coln campaign and later as a war cor respondent and a European correspon dent. The papers he served in this period were the Cincinnati Commercial, the New York Herald, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Tribune and" part of the time he was at the head of news bureaus at Washington. Early in 1881 Mr. Villard acquired the New York Evening Post and the Nation. In January, 1866, in oBston, he mar ried Fannie, the only daughter of Wm. Lloyd Garrison. In 1868 he was chosen secretary of the newly founded American Social Science association, having its headquarters in that city and did not finally relinquish the post until 1871. It was in the latter year while on a visit to Europe Mr. Villard began his rail road career. He formed a connection with Frankfort and Berlin bankers and in 1873 returned to the United States, buying for the German bondholders the property of the Oregon and California Railroad company and the Oregon Steamship company, being made presi dent in 1875. He acted as one of the re ceivers of the Kansas Pacific Railroad company and later bought up the .bonds of the road. He became interested in the Oregon Steam Navigation company and the Oregon Railway and Navigation company, of which he became president and then formed the Oregon and Trans continental with which he merged the two other companies to a so-called blind pool with the Northern Pacific being chosen president of the latter company. A few years later the companies in which he was interested became so In volved that there was a collapse In which Mr. Villard suffered very heavily. Returning to Germany he formed finan cial relations which enabled him to re pair his fortunes and coming back to this country he started in once more aa a capitalist. In 1890 he purchased from Thomas Edison his electrical manu facturing interests and with the Edison Lamp company of Newark, N. J., and the Edison works at Schenectady as a basis organized the Edison General Elec tric company, of which he became presi dent, serving in that capacity for about two years. In October, 188. he became chairman of the Northern Pacific board of directors, but the panic of 1893 again occasioned the loss of most of his for tune and led to his withdrawal from railroad management.

Turner Co-operative company of colored men Is about to buy a site on which to 'erect a building; to be used as a department store. One year ago today this company was organized by seventeen colored men, with a capital stock of less than $1,000. A few months later the company opened a grocery store and meat market at S448-3450 State street. The venture has been sustained in the main by the col ored residents of that locality, but there is also a large percentage of its cus tomers numbered among the white fam ilies that live as far east as Calumet avenue. It is the first co-operative busi ness venture started by local colored men. The department store, in the language of Mr. Turner, the president of the com pany, "is to be manned with a black crew." This is done merely as a feature that has been a prime factor in the suc cess achieved in the grocery store and market venture. Experienced colored men and women will be brought from the south and east, if neeesarry, to take charge of the ex ecutive branches and special features. Philadelphia and Richmond, Va, col ored people have set the example to their Chicago brethren by making suc cesses of similar ventures. It is from these sources that the more experienced hands will be brought. Mr. Turner said: "We have been or ganized one year. The colored people have sustained us from the beginning. The white customers who have come to us, out of curiosity perhaps In the be ginning, we have held because of the character of the service we give them at least that is what they tell us. In one year's time we have built up a busi ness that is valued at $10,000. Our de livery wagons cover every section, of the city. "We will declare no dividends before 1904. Every cent of profit will be put into the business until that time. In the meantime the department store will be opened and the business developed until we have built up a monument to the brain and enterprise of the colored race in this section of the country." GATES TS. STILWELL. Fieht Over Guardian Trust Company Commenced in Court Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 12. The hear ing in the case of the Guardian Trust company, for which John W. Gates and others seek to have a receiver appoint ed, was begun in the United States dis trict court here today, Judge Amos Thayer, of St. Louis, sitting with Judge John P. Phillips of Kansas City. The demurrer filed last week by the Stllwell faction so called, and which sets forth "that the bill of complaint does not state facts sufficient to entitle complainants to the appointment of a receiver or for the granting of an injunction," was first considered by the court. The demurrer was still being argued when recess for lunch was taken. PISGREE OX THE WARPATH Orders Suits Against Officials Slaking False Tax Assessments. St. Joseph, Mich., Nov. 12. Governor Pingree has instructed the attorney gen eral to bring suit in the criminal courts against the four St. Joseph and the four Benton Harbor supervisors who made a fiat 60 per cent valuation of the property in the two cities. The state tx eomm's sion promptly investigated and raised the assessments $1,000,000. This action r, su.ted In numerous suits brought by property owners in St. Joseph and Berrien coun:ie, which abrogated as sessments in both cities. No similar condition arrowing out of the new tax law exists in the state and it will ultimately be decided In all its phases by j the supreme court. I GIVES JJPJJEAD. Shore of Nora Scotia Strewn With Corpses. Only Fonr People on Board Monticello Escaped. BAY OF FILNDY WRECK. It Was the Worst Known For Many Years. Sad Scenes s Are Witnessed Along the Sea Shore. Yarmouth, N. S., Nov. 12. The shore of this county for ten miles east and west is strewn with the wreckage of the hull and cargo of the steamer City of Monticello, which foundered Satur day morning, and 25 bodies of victims of the disaster have been recovered from the sea, which is still raging with ter rific fury. Many people have assembled at Rock ville, near where the first body came ashore, and numerous relatives of mem bers of the crew, who nearly all be longed to points on this coast, have ar rived to identify the dead. N The bodies were arranged in a room in the public hall and Coroner Fuller, who held an Inquest, gave an opinion of ac cidental drowning. All the bodies are terribly battered. The first body was found at daylight Sunday, when the zinc lifeboat, which was supposed by the survivors of the first boat to have been swamped, was discovered on shore. A few yards dis tant were the bodies of Mr. Eldredge, a passenger; Second Engineer Poole, Mr. Fripp, a traveler for McGee's Sons, of St. John, N. B., and the body of a sea man. All four had life belts around them. At short intervals along the beach eleven more bodies were found, making fifteen discovered up to noon today. They had all evidently come ashore in the lifeboat and were killed on striking the beach, not one escaping. The re mains so far identified, in addition to the four enumerated above, are: Robert Olive, purser of the steamer Prince Edward: Baggage Master Wil son; Deck Hands Johnson, Levi Nicker son, Robert Nickerson, Van Renenberg, Austin Wickens, James Cole, John E. Whitmore, Stanley Ringer, Winslow Ringer, Harry Copeland and David Ben ham. MANY BODIES UNIDENTIFIED. The watches in the pockets of two of the men stopped at 12:45 and 12:25 o'clock respectively. The body of Captain Harding of the Monticello has been found at Picnic's Point, encircled with a life belt and fully dressed. An unknown body, supposed to be that of a traveler for a western boot and shoe firm, has been found at the same place, with the bodies of Elsie McDonald and Second Officer Murphy, recovered yesterday. Of the members of the crew whose bodies were secured, Copeland and Benham were not known to be on board until their bodies were identified:. They were not on the ship's articles, having joined for the trip only. Several bodies are still unidentified. One body was recognized this evening as John Richmond, of Essex, N. J., a traveler for a boot and shoe firm. He was not before known to have been a pessenger. This swells the known death roll to thirty-two. Benham took the place of Whitmore, previously reported lost. Copeland was also a substitute, but for whom it is not known. It is a coincidence that the ship Peter Stewart was wrecked off this shore a few years ago ifi the month of July and a boat load of men came in where the Monticello's boat was found. Half of the men were dead before the boat touched the land and many believe the same true of those in the Monticello's boat. The fury of the surf is appalling in this region. The body of O. N. Coleman, another commercial traveler, who was not prev iously known to have been on board the Monticello, has been washed ashore and identified. He represented Levi Bros. Co., jewelers, Hamilton, Ont., and car ried samples in trunks worth $80,000. One trunk has been found. Wreckage of all kinds litters the shore, boxes, barrels, pieces of ships, boats and part of thu superstructure of the steamers. James Ball, a merchant of Yarmouth, who was supposed to have been on board. Is safe, he having missed the steamer in St. John. Rupert Olive was crossing the bay from St. John to Yar mouth to rejoin his own steamer. Chief Steward Hopkins of the steamer Yar mouth perished, he having taken his brother's place for one trip. REGULAR HANDS ESCAPE FATE. Swen Johnson was taking Elisha Cook's place as quartermaster and Fred Vanenburg was substituting as cook for his father. The absentees were off to vote at the elections and te this circum stance they owe their lives. No trace of more than three women having been on board the Monticello can be obtained. They were placed in the first boat. One of them. Stewardess Smith, is one of the four survivors and she is too ill to make a statement. Elsie MacDonald was drowned in the surf and her body has been recovered. The third woman was a negress, named Lawrence, and her body was seen in the breakers this afternoon, but could not be reached. Some difficulty has been encountered in figuring out the total loss of life, as a number of passengers Joined the Mon ticello at St. John without first register ing at the booking office. They bought their tickets on board. A revised list of the members of the crew, prepared at the head office of the Yarmouth Steamship company here, shows that the officers and crew num bered twenty-eight, of whom Third Offi cer Fleming, Wilson Cook, a deck hand, and MJss Smith, the stewardess, were saved. The total number of people who were on board is now placed at thirty-six. The four survivors are Captain Smith, a passenger; Third Officer Fleming, Quarter Master Wilson and Stewardess Smith. The three men saved agree that the cause of the disaster was briefly: "The steamer was pounded for hours by sea and gale, sprang a leak and filled; became unmanageable, broke apart anu foundered." The sea is not remembered to have been so heavy on this coast for many years. NOT A SAFE SHIP. The City of Monticello belonged to the Yarmouth Steamship company, and had been engaged in traffic from St. John, N. B., to Halifax by way of Yarmouth and rorts along the south shore of this province. She was a side-wheel Iron boat. She registered about 1.000 tons, and was built at Wilmington, DeL, in 1866 by the Harlan Hollingsworth company. She was formerly known as the City of Norfolk. Captain T. H.Hard ing, a well known navigator, was the commander. The Monticello's disaster is the worst in the long list of steamers wrecked among the rocks and shoals at the en trance to the Bay of Fundy. The Monti cello was overwhelmed by the moun tainous seas only four miles from her destination. A heavy gale was raging at the time, and there was a tremendous sea. The place where the Monticello struck is at the mouth of the. Bay of Fundy, where the waters of the bay Join those of the Atlantic. There are many reefs and shoals at this spot, and the currents are many and changeable, it being one of the most dangerous places on the coast. The gale Saturday night kicke l up a tremendous sea, and at the time the vessel struck the waves were beat ing on the rocks and sending spray hun dreds of feet over the land. The Monticello was valued at $35,000, and was partially insured. The vessel had been rebuilt within the last 15 years, but was not regarded as safe in an ex ceptionally heavy sea. The passengers were: A. N. Smith. Rupert Olive, of St. John, purser of the Dominion Atlantic steamer Prince Edward. A. S. Eldrldge, merchant of Yarmouth, wife and two children. Miss Elsie MacDonald, of Yarmouth. J. C. Fripp, of Woodstock, N. B. 4 O. W. Coleman, of New Glasgow. N. S. John Richmond, of Sussex, N. B. The three latter were commercial travelers. Captain Smith, Mr. EldrMge and Miss MacDonald were saved. The list of lost Includes many well known lo cal navigators. Captain Thomas Harding, the master of the Monticello, who Is among the lost, leaves a widow and one daughter, at present living In Yarmouth. He had been master of several steam ers running along the Monticello's route for the past ten year. He was master of the Express when she was lost at Ben Portage in September, 1S98. The first officer of the Monticello, who acted aa pilot, was Capt. Harvey New ell, a native of Newellton, Cape Sable Island, Shelburne. He leaves a family. Second Officer Murphy leaves a widow in Yarmouth and had been 15 years in the company's service. Steward Hopkins belonged at Bar rington Passage, and Is survived by a widow and several children. The purser, T. T. Hilton, was a native of Yarmouth and unmarried. Chief Engineer Greig was a native of Scotland, and resided in Yarmouth. Practically all the deck hands and the remainder of the crew belonged along the shore between Yarmouth and Lock port, and many of them leave widows and children. The Monticello carried a crew out of proportion to her size, as they handled all freight themselves, and made fre quent calls at intermediate points, both day and night. TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Now that the elections am over, the principal topic of einversa-tton in army circles relates ta the f urtacumicg reorganisation bni i: j t'ne war department. Lieutenant Colonel William H. Carter of the adjutant gen eral's department has been assigned the I difficult task of preparing for congress a I measure providing- for the necessary in i crease in the size of the regular army and r a complete reorganization of the j artillery arm of the service. It is sail at the war department that this bill will provide for an army of S5.00O officers and j men. which will be organized into 30 I regiments of infantry, 12 regiments of j cavairy and a corps of artillery, enuiva l lent to 1- regiments. Lieutenant General Miles, however, has submitted in his j annual report a somewhat different plan and it may be that there will be two i radically different measures presented I to congress. General Miles favors an I army of only Tii.O'W men. or approxi 1 mately one svliler for every l.OOo inhab- itants in the country. His pian for reorganization is based up-.a the established plan for organiza tion of armies followed by the various military powers of Europe. Unlike the i secretary of war. General Miles m his recommendations for the army, does not j surest caanjea in the present staff I pian. but he does propose radical reor i gamzatlun cf the artillery. i"rv- artillery will, under the proposed bul of the secretary of war. or that of r.-ral Miles, be made into a corpus wun a chief of artillery having the rank of brigadier, who will be a member of the staff of the commanding general of tr.e army. Colonel John I. Rodger of the Fifth artillery has been mentioned m connection with the proposed position 'f c.ief of artillery, but nothing of a de finite nature has yet been decided upon regarding the place. officers of the cavalry are devoting much attention at the present time in a scheme to relieve the existing stagna t.cn in promotions in their arm of the service. Several projects are being con sidered, the one received with the most favor being- that formulated by an offi cer of high rank in touch with the war department, who looks to a squadron formation of ail the cavairy in the army. The matter has been called to the attention of the secretary of war and it has b n earnestly requested that he make some provision in his army bill for the cavalry. It is pointed out that officers in the cavalry now holding the rank of lirst lieutenant are many years tr.e senior of officers in the infantry of J the same grade. CONCERNING MAKK TWAIN. From Harper Weekly.! One day u3t month Mark Twain got home from Europe. He said that he had been gone nine years, w hi.-h seems im probable, bat he accounted for all the intervening time, admitting that he pass ed through tfils eKintry in l..o5 on his to Australia, and lectured every n.ht from New York to San Frin-ci..-o.

The war office has received th following dispatch from Lord Roberts: Johannesburg, Nov. 10. Methnen sur prised Commandants Snyman and Ver niass. near Liehtenburg yesterday. Three d-ead Boers were found and thirty prisoners and several wagons were cap tured. There were no casualties among the British. Kelley-Kenny reports that Major McKinlosh of the Seaforth High landers,, occupied Philippolis Nov. 8. The Boers fled in all directions. Three wounded were brought to our hospital. Surgeon Hartley and seven men were wounded. Littleton reports that Kitchener suc cessfully surprised the Boers during the night of Nov. 7. A mounted party of the Nineteenth Hussars and the Manches ter mounted infantry under Capt. Chet wode, managed to pass the Boer outpost and while the latter engaged the enemy's picket the Hussars charged the Boers in the moonlight, sabering many. Chet wod and several non-commissioned offi cers behaved with great gallantry, but the Hussars would probably have suffer ed severely, as they got into bad ground, had not they been supported by the mounted infantry. In the morning ar tillery and infantry joined Chetwode's force and completed the Boer rout who are said to have lost heavily. Smith-Dorrien'3 wounded, who return ed from the Boer camp, report that Commandant Prinsloo and General Fourie were killed and General Grobeiar was wounded jn the recent fighting. TO ARREST ROBBERS. Five Men Who Held TJp Train Tfcir taea Months Ago Ar Known. Chicago, Not. 12, The Record says: According to officials of the American Express company, five men who held lip the Northwestern train No. 3 on Oc tober 13, 1S99. not many miles from Chi cago, and which is known as the Tower W robbery, will be arrested today. After months cf work upon the case, which until now baified the detectives of the Northwestern, railway and the ex press company, the scheme'employed, by the robbers has been brought to light. "It is the TXiimt daring pieee of work evtr perpetrated in the west," declared one of the express ofHeiais last eight. vVe have been looking all over the country for these robbers, and now here the official shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Last night two men were brought to the West Lake street station and state ments obtained from them which show how the robbery was committed. Act ing upon these statements warrants for five men will be sworn out today before one- of the United States commissioners. The man who receipted for the dyna mite used to blow the American Express company's safe open, is known and his signature has been identified by men who know him a a former railroad man. The statements made by the two men to the police last night are those of men who are- in a position to know the exact time and movements of the two trains which were approaching Tower W on the night of October 13, la9. These show how the robbers arrived at the scene of the hold-up and how they effected their escape after the rob bery. WATCHING THE STARS. Chicago Expects Big Meteoric Dis play Wednesday Night Chicago, Nov. 12. Chicago people may have a chance to see one of the biggest displays of shooting stars Wednesday night, and. again. they may not. "Whether the heavenly performance which was expected last year and did not come will be seen this year is just now the- question tft.t is puzzling as tronomers. At the University cf Chicago no prep arations either to count or photograph the leonid3 have yet been made," but if tc-night or tomorrow night shows a clear sky Professor Laves and his associates will keep a watch for forerunners of the big shower, and if they appear they will fix the cameras for use Wednesday night. Last November astronomers were cer tain that the shower of leonids was due, but owdng to some deviation in the course of the swarm of meteors they did not arrive. There has been no cal culation to prove their coming this week, but scientists do not care to be caught off their guard and they will be on the alert for the celestial manifesta tion. Prof. G. W. Hough, of the astronom ical department, and Prof. Henry Crew, of the department of physics, of North western university, have planned to take a number of photographs of the shower if it be clear weather.

Speculation as to Changes in presi dent's Official Family. Washicgton. Nov. Jr. Cabinet rumors in these pot-eleetion days have succeeded the speculations over results in ante-eb c tion days. One rumor has it that Sec retary Hay will give up the portfolio of state, and be succeeded by Postmaster General Smith. Mr. Hay has discovered, as have secretaries of state before him, that it is vastly easier to negotiate treat ies than to secure their ratiricati in by the senate. Rieh and famous, and having reached the highest poliiieai appointive position in the government, he well can afford to retire oa his !a r- Is. It is sug gested also that Ambassador Choote, h v ing followed Hay to London, mi?ht like to take up the portfolio of stafe when Hay lays it down. In that case Hay might be sent back to London, as ambassador. This, of course, would leave Smith in the postoffice department, a place he d-esn t specially fancy, though he has nlted it to the satisfaction of the president. Just hre comes another rumor, that Sricretary Ltmg d!l retire from the navy and L succeeded by Smith. It is known that Mr. Long, though mak ing an entirely acceptable secreiarv of the navy, prefers to return to private life. Should he do so and Smith succeed him, or should Smith retire to private life, ru mor mentions as the latter s successor in the postoffice department. Perry Health. Mr. Payne, national committeeman tf Wisconsin, and Mr. Johnson, .first a sals ant postmaster general, who was Heath's u r in that office. Jhnsinn is from New Jersey. He stands litti ehaite. as Payne is booked fur that or some other cabinet place. Payne was a!ated for the cabinet four years a?o. but gave way for the sake of party harmony and so wtd have his innings now. Hath will have ehars-e of Republican headquarter dar ing the eomiag four years, preparing the way for the next auadrernii.il i-ampaian. Senator Hanna tried this p!an utter the accession of the present administration,, but the experiment was only partly suc cessful. He expects, with Heath devoting his time to the work, to make it a highly successful and permanent feature of Re publican political organization It is rumored that Secretary Hitchcock will retire from the interifir department next March and b succeeded bv Senator Carter of Montana, who will then be a statesman out of a job. Senator Woieott of Colorado is another in the same cate gory. He probably will be made ambassa dor to Italy, which has b.en made vacant by the resignation of General Draper of Massn chusetts. It is possible, however, that Woieott might succeed Attornev Gen eral Griggs as head of the department of justice. Griggs .wants to retire to resume his private practice, which is worth to him pecuniarily rive or six times as much as a cabinet place. However, Carter and Woieott will not both go into the cabi net, though they will both get someihi ig if they want it. Then, too. if Long re tires, cabinet traditions demand that an other New England? be apodr.ced to some portfolio. Only one administration has ever struggled through a term with out a New England cabinet officer, that ef John Quincy Adams, and he hlmseif from Massachusetts. There is an impress! n in some quarter that if Hay retires he will be soceeedii by Mr. Root, now secretary of War. Mr. Root is an able man and very close to the president, but he mignt wed prefer to re tain tne war portfolio during the coming reorganization of the army, a si-bjeec in which he feels a deep and inteldgent in- BREAKFAST FOR $100.

TOPEKA STATE JOUKNAIi, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1900. WE HAVE FRIENDS EVERYWHERE Fiiitowm, Jackson Co., Io., November 5, 1899. Fspsnt Svttvr Comakt. Dear Sirs; I feel It is my duty to -write yon and let yom know how much good your medicine has done for me. Twenty-three) years ago I was taken with soma kind of stomach trouble, and I doctored with our best doctors and they did me but little good. Then three years ago the change of life set in on ma and neuralgia, and I got so poor and weak I could hardly walk, couldn't work any. My husband received a small book through the mail, advertising your medicine. He sent our little boy to the drug store and got one ef your small tea-cent bottles. I began to use it. It is strange to say, but it is the truth, that the second dose I took gave me lots of relief. I kept ea using it until I used it nearly a year. Now I am nearly as strong as I used to be, and can do any kind of work I waat to. I recommend it to all. It seems to me it would cure anybody, r. I have several to use Dr. Caldwell s and all say that it has done Eood. God bless Dr. Caldwell and hia medi cine for doing me so much good. Yours with resoect. MRS. ISABEL!. WHEELER.

That Secretary of State Hay shall re turn, to the court of St. James as the ambassador from the United States is the determination of the president. His plan is based on the desire ot the pres ent administration, the British foreign office and Secretary Hay himself. No ambassador nor minister from the United States has ever been so welcome as Colonel Hay will be at London. Officials say there is time enough to consider what w ill be offered to Mr Choate, the present ambassador at Lon don. Jlr. Choate may resume his law rractice in New Tork, or he may con eider that an exchange of places with Colonel Hay would not be undesirable Hut Secretary Root's name has recently been mentioned for the state portfolio. Says the Times in a. special from Washington: The talk about the immediate disrup tion of the cabinet is without founda tion. The cabinet will stand by the president until his next inauguration. Those members who are anxious to re tire will have their chance then. Nevertheless there will be changes on jSIarch 4, though the president would be Eatisfled if there were not. Many of the members of the present cabinet are anxious to return to private life. The most conspicuous example ia Attorney General Griggs, who makes a consider able sacrifice by remaining. Postmaster General Smith accepted his place solely because the president wanted him in the cabinet. He had no great liking for the office, though he has studied its duties and discharged them conscientiously. Mr. Smith would like to leave the postoffiee department, but it is not improbable that he will be transferred to some other office so that Mr. McKinley may still have him. in tbe cabinet. Secretaries Gage and Long have often been spoken of as anxious to retire. This leads to confident statements that they will not be in the next cabinet There is no certainty in that, however. The president has already induced Mr. Long to remain in the cabinet against his wish, and may do so again. At one time it was reported that Sec retary Hay would not stay in the cab inet through another administration. Of late, however, and especially since the country learned to appreciate Mr. Hay's work in the department, there has been no indication that he would retire. Secretary Root will almost certainly be in the next cabinet. There is no man upon whom the president more thor oughly relies. He will continue to be secretary of war unless Mr. Hay retires, in which case Mr. Root probably will take the state department. Secretary Wilson will also remain In the cabinet unless all signs fail. Noth ing Is known about the intention of Sec retary Hitchcock. PROFITS FOR ROCKEFELLER Rise in Stocks Adds $7,000,000 to His Fortune This Week. New Tork, Nov. 12. John D. Rocke feller's profits on his stocks resulting from the recent election boom are esti mated to be from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. The greatest increase was in Consoli dated Gas, Standard Oil and Federal SteeL Mr. Rockefeller owns about 60 per cent of the gas stocks, a dominating interest in Federal Steele and 31 per cent of Standard Oil, and from these three Ftocks alone the immense fortune of Mr. Rockefeller was increased about $7,000,000. Everything that Mr. Rockefeller owns is worth more than it was before elec tion, with the possible exception of Amalgamated Copper, which on Wed nesday went up three points, but on Thursday dropped back to its original price.

So far as the Filipinos are concerned no noticeable change in the situation has ensued, nor is any likely to occur in the immediate future. They are for the greater part non-committal. News of the outcome will slowly work its way through the country to the armed in surgents. Last week's scouting resulted in sev eral minor engagements with what the official reports describe as "small casual ties," namely four Americans killed and ten wounded. A BAN ON WEST POINT. An Army Law That Discriminates Against Government School. New Tork, Nov. 12. Adjutant General Corbin, according to a Tribune special from Washington, has started a move ment to induce congress to remove from the statute books a law that makes an unjust discrimination against West Pointers in the army. It is almost inex plicable, the adjutant says, that such legislation should ever have been enact ed or have remained in force for twelve years as that which favors the promo tion of enlisted men to commissions above the young men specially educated at government expense to fill commands. In his current annual report General Corbin devotes considerable space to the act of June 18, 1878, which provided for the promotion to the grade of commis sioned officer of meritorious non-commissioned officers who shall be found morally, intellectually and physically qualified for promotion, and the act of July 30, 1S!2, which extends to all un married soldiers under thirty years and possessing the required qualifications the privilege of competing at prescribed examinations for commissions. RATE TO SALT LAKE. Chairman McLeod Announces One Fare to Live Stock Association. Chicago, Nov. 12. Chairman Eben K. McLeod of the Western Passenger as sociation, Chicago, has notified the sec retary of the National Live Stock as sociation that all lines within that as sociation have unanimously agreed to a one fare round trip rate to the annual convention of the Live Stock associa tion at Salt Lake City next January. Going, tickets will be on sale January 11 to January 17, with return limit un til January 31. This return limit was extended from January 23, in order that delegates might take the excursion to the Pacific coast if they desire. The rate applies to all points in Wis consin, Minnesota, North and South Da kota, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Utah. The Southwestern association no doubt will make an open one fare rate from Texas within a few days. CHANGES IN WEALTH. From the Baltimore Sun.3 The change taking place in the na ture of wealth, is illustrated in the fact that, last year the income of landhold ers from land in England and Wales was but 1? per cent, of the total estimated value of annual income, whereas in 1870 the income from land was 38 per cent, of the total. Of course there has been an increase of aggregate annual value in the last 30 years, but it has been in factories, shops and dwellings, which rose from 52 to 66 per cent, of the total. Railways rose from 5 to 9 per cent., whila mines and other kinds of property rose from 5 to 7 per cent. The total "ratable value" last year was $878, 000,000, or $353,000,000 more than in 1870. In this country a like change has; been going on. The proportion borne by agri cultural wealth to other forms of wealth has greatly decreased in the United States in the last thirty years. The act ual aggregate wealth of our agricul turists has no doubt increased greatly, but the wealth in factories, railways, ships, city dwellings, business houses, etc., has increased much more. This is but natural. The demand for agricul tural products is limited and the supply is more than sufficient for our needs, with the result that capital seeks other investments and goes into comforts and luxuries demanded by this progressive age. T. JL C. A. Lectures. The law committee composed of T. F. Garver, J. G. Sionecker and N. H.Loom is of the Y. M. C. A., have arranged for a series of lectures on contracts, person al property, real estate, partnerships and corporations, domestic relations and torts. The lectures will be delivered by T. F. Garver, Howell Jones. J. W. Gleed, J. G. Sionecker, H. G. Larimer and N. H. Loomiss respectively. The first lec ture will be given November 19 and the course will be finished on the 1st of April, 1901. S. C. King and W. C. McPike, of Atchison, were at Monterey, California, April 0, 1897, when the monster shark, now on exhibition on the Santa Fe tracks on oFurth street, as a part of the California exhibit, was captured. The shark, which is 36 feet long, and which weighs 10.3SS pound3, is the largest spec imen ever captured. It was caught ac cidentally in a big fishing net in Mon terey bay. The monster was towed to San Francisco, where it was on exhibi tion for an entire year. The exhibit will be in Topeka all week.

WIFE WAS WORRIED. Did Not Want Friends to Know ol Her Condition. Story ot the Inhuman Crime fcy Henry. The Ira Henry case ia growing more complicated. Mrs. Henry has now been detained as an accessory to the murder of her infant The news was kept out of the Albu querque papers for the reason that it was thought that if it reached Mrs. Henry that it might result seriously whila she was in a critical condition. Henry has committed a dozen rob beries recently and has been under the surveillance of the police for some time. Hia mode of procedure was to ring the door bell at a house and if it was found that no one was at home he would enter the house at the rear door or in any other way he could find. TMe robberies became so numerous that the citizens became alarmed and a watch was set which resulted in Henry's arrest. His arrest for burglary led to the dis covery that he was a murderer. He let fall a hint that he had chloroformed a baby, and the officers consulted with the physician who was with Mrs. Henry during her confinement The doctor stated that the child Was a healthy looking young one, and wa3 surprised to learn when he visited the house the morning after the birth that. the child was dead. Mrs. Henry said "It just threw back its head and died." The Albuquerque Journal-Democrat of Friday said: "The officers in endeavoring to induce Henry to tell of his worst crime, asked when and where he had been married. The prisoner said in Topeka, August 1. He also admitted that no one in Topeka had any suspicion that everything had not been perfectly right. 'You were anxious that people back at Topeka shouldn't hear of anything disgraceful?' said the marshal. 'Yes,' admitted the man. 'You were anxious to be rid of the child?' pursued the questioner. The prisoner didn't answer, and the marshal said, with strong emphasis, 'You killed that child.' Henry denied the charge, but weakly. 'Do you want to be shown the body we took up, and the traces of chloroform?' was the next question, for the officers had learned of Henry s buying chloroform some time before and had adopted that theory. The officers assured the prisoner that they knew the whole story, and the whole truth would serve Dexter xnan anything else. At this Henry broke down and made a full confession, try ing, though, to lighten his responsi bility by the world-old, cowardly, mas culine excuse, "The woman tempted me.' He said his wife had expressed a wish that the child could be disposed of, had suggested chloroform, and had told him how it should be adminis tered. He had secured the stuff, had given the child one teaspoonful. and then, to make sure, had given another." The Albuquerque Citizen says: It is stated by neighbors of the Hen rys that when the inhuman father re turned from the cemetery Mr. and Mrs. William Smith going security for the burial of the child he tripped into his house and the cruel mother, raising her self from the sick bed, remarked in a gleeful voice: "Well, how do you feel since your carriage ride?" Henry answered back in a happy frame of mind: "I feel better now." It is learned today, after an interview with friends who knew the Henrys back in Topeka, that on their arrival here Mrs. Henry expressed regret over her condition and sent to a drug store.where medicine was secured to rid her of her 'embarrassment and shame," as she ex pressed it. This was in August last and shows that, although failing then to ac complish the diabolical purpose, the young married couple allowed the child to come to life and then chloroformed it to death. On October 17, Henry quit his job at the shops and since that time has appar ently done nothing. The Journal-Democrat says: "He is a fine looking "young man, always dresses well, used to wear patent leather shoes to work and was al ways careful of his personal appearance. His wife is decidedly handsome. When arrested Henry had only five cents and two milk checks in his pocket and he declares that there wasn't a cent of money in the house. He says when he arrived from Topeka he had only ten dollars and had to pay the rent with that. Nevertheless he haa been free enough with money and went to the the ater every night last week." In Topeka both Mr. and Mrs. Henry belonged to the Third Christian church and were considered among the best workers in the Christian Endeavor so ciety and the church. Ira Henry had no bad habits, did not chew or drink and only occasionally smoked a cigarette. "He nearly always stayed at home evenings," said Mr.Hen ry, Ira's father. George Henry, his father, and his un cle, Frank Henry, and Elmer Miller his cousin, have gone to Albuquerque to in vestigate and do all in their power to help him. HANNA WILL REST. Republican Chief Returns From New York- to His Cleveland Home. New York, Nov. 12. Senator Mark A. Hanna left for Cleveland last evening and Mr. Manley started for Maine.

That Is What a Russian Paper Says in Commenting on the Election. St. Petersburg, Nov.12. The Northern Courier, a journal with radical tenden cies, commenting on the result of the elections in the United States, expresses the opinion that the fact that President McKinley's re-election did not cause un easiness abroad is sufficient proof that America remains peace loving in spite of imperialism and that the world under stands this. An Anglo-American alli ance, the papers adds, would not en danger universal peace, since after America, England is the most peaceful state in the world; and it thinks that Kngland's numerous small wars in Af rica and India and the Transvaal war do not disprove this statement. It was not a desire for territorial aggrandize ment that caused the Indian wars, but the exposed condition of the English frontier which Russia threatened. CHICAGO ROBBER CAUGHT.

Her Week of Lectures Was Very Suc cessful. Ffaulein Stolle closed her series of art lectures at the High school Saturday night with a lecture on the art galleries of Paris and modern art. The lectures during the week were well attended, the attendance increasing with each night. Many were present at every lecture. "I have had the best audiences here of any place I have ever lectured," said Frauiein Stolle. "Not only have the audiences been as large as I usually have in the larger cities, but the interest shown has been greater. I am proud of the work here and the interest taken in art subjects." Frauiein Stolle was in Topeka once before, about three years ago. Her visit here at that time was not of a nature to call up fond recollections whenever the name Topeka was heard. She arrived here late in the afternoon and left during the night. It was in mid-winter, and a big storm was in progress the day she was here. It was cold and not a large audience turned out to hear her, and taking everything into consideration she had quite a disa greeable time of it. However, the contrast between her previous visit and the one just closed has been quite marked. Everything that could be done for her comfort and pleasure was attended to by the ladies of the city federation, and Frauiein Stolle goes away with a feeling, as she expresses it, that "Topeka is about the best place to live in." Frauiein Stolle is a charming- little woman, and every one was pleased with her quaint accent and pronunciation. She was born in Berlin and has studied in Boston and all of the European cap itals. During the lecture at the High school Saturday she showed a picture of a scene behind the scenes of a traveling circus. It depicted life as it really was and not as it seemed as seen in the ring. In describing the picture she could not for the world remember the word "circus," and had to ask of the audience, "What do you call it?" Some one, thinking she meant one of the characters in the picture, answered "gypsy." "No, no: not 'gypsy,' she said. "Circus," called out some one in the rear of the audience. "Yes, that is it; 'circus,' and she con tinued with the description of the paint ing. The ladies of the city federation feel quite elated at the success of their first venture in providing entertainments to secure money to place decorations in the school rooms of the city. Fully $200 were cleared on the week's entertainments. It is hoped that this will be swelled to at least $250, and the ladies believe it will. The bills for their expenses are not all in yet, so this mat ter can not be decided. The matinee at the High school Friday morning resulted in a profit of about J60. The ladies will probably repeat the ex periment again soon. GAIN SIX SENATORS. Republicans to Have a Majority of 20 In Upper House. Washington, Nov. 12. Writh doubt as to the result of the legislative contests on Tuesday in not more than two of the forty-five states, the next Senate will have a Republican majority of twenty In a total membership of ninety. This will be a majority of twenty over Sil verites. Democrats, Populists and rene gade Republicans; an increase of six over the Republican lead in the last sen ate. Substantially all the Democrats will be here from the southern states and from the gradually diminishing groups of mining states. The whole east, middle west and northwest and most of the border states have solidly Republican delegations. At no time in the past was this dearth of northern representation so clearly marked. In 1868, at the time of the first elec tion of General Grant, the senate of the Fortieth congress had Democratic senators from Indiana, Wisconsin and Penitsvlvania and also from Maryland, Tennessee, Delaware and Kentucky. In the Forty-third congress after the dis astrous overthrow of the Democrats in the Greeley campaign, the senate over which Henry WTiison of Massachusetts presided, had Democratic representa tives from Ohio, Oregon, California and New Jersey, and also from Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware. In July, 1896, when Bryan was first put in nomination for president at Chi cago, the senate, despite a succession of Democratic reverses, still had Demo cratic senators from Indiana, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin and California, all states not of the south ern group. The defeat of Bryan foui years ago entailed unavoidably Demo cratic losses in the senatorial represen tation from the east, but these losses were in no part made up by Democratic accessions from the Pacific, in the prairie states and in the northwest. Kansas replaced New Jersey. The gain in Washington offset the loss in Mary land. Democratic representation was indeed di minished, but some of the losses in the east were repaired in the territory be tween the Mississippi and the Pacific, and the southern representation of Democrats in Washington remained Intact. The re sults of Tuesday's contests, crushing in their proof of popular distrust and repu diation rf Brvanism, make permanent, for some vears at least, the exclusion of the Democrats frm representation in the sen ate from the eastern, western midd'e western and northwestern section of the Union, by which two-thirds of the popular vote is cast The ninety senators are divided into three groups of thirty each those whose terms expire March 8, 1901, those whoe terms expire in 1903 and those whose terms expire in 1905. There are no vacan cies, except temporary ones, arising in 1902 The results of Tuesday's elections are to leave the greater part of the coun try, in population, ma'erivil wealth, poll i cal importance and industrial growth without a solitary Democratic representa tive in the senate. Not one of the twelve senators from New England was a Demo crat In the last senate; not one will be in the next. New York.

KANSAS MILLERS. They Will Meet With Grain Dealers November 14. The Kansas Millers' association and the Kansas State Grain Dealers' associ ation' will both meet in Wichita in the parlors of the Carey hotel at 2 o'clock Wednesday, November 14. The question of the importation of Russian wheat will come up and it is not unlikely that a cargo will be ordered to be planted in Kansas as an experi ment.
