Friends of Croker Say lie is Out of Politics. Ready io Hand Over the Control of Tammany. London. Feb. 16 "Our grandmother Is dead. Comfort my mothf-r Wilhelm." This is the telegram Emperor William sent the empress a few minutes after Queen Victoria's death. It explains bet ter than oulJ columns of German and Knglish editorials the feelings which ex ist among' the reigning families of those countries. This close tie may shortly bring: about another death bed meeting or Kins Edward and his Imperial nephew. English court rumors give Empress Frederick but a short lease of life, and King- Kdward will no more allow his new duties to interfere with his desire to be at her bedside than did Kmperor William consider the Berlin celebrations when he went in haste to Osborne. Thus, once more, the two ruiers wh" are riveting the attention of the world, may be brought together un der circumstances in which hunfan emo tions have the strongest place. That meeting wpart from its sad domestic cause, is bound to have an impoitant mora! effect both in Great Britain and Germany and the rest of the world. The feeling of Germany on the subject of Kmperor William's pro-English ten dencies known throughout the world, thanks to the antagonistic comments of portions uf its press, finds its counter part in England, though it is not so fully developed or freely expressed. Now that the emperor has gone, many people are asking: "Is the king going to follow Emperor William's example and be an emperor in the true sense of the word?" The recent kingly functions, with all the outward signs of power, have made Great Briiain realize for the rlrst time in many years that it is still a country under a monarchy. Indeed several pa pers are urging the king to exert pres sure on the ministers to eradicate the abuses in the army and push the war in South Africa. Many persons are serious ly pondering on whether King Edward is going to ruie or reign. There is all confidence in his tact and common sense. But the sudden restoration of mon archial splendor and power and the keen sympathy between the German emperor ami King Kdward make many loval sub jects anxious about the future. The first sign of this is the suggestion of an in crease of the king's income. Mr. Henry l.abouchere and many others have no hesitation in openly opposing it. Refer ence Is frequently made to the small in comes of the presidents of the United States and France. There is little doubt that parliament will grant larger sup plies: but this action will not serve tn reconcile the country to 'its new condi tion. "The English people," bluntly says this week s Today, "would not tolerate a king who sought to rule as well as reign." To those who have only read the king's utterances and have not swn the recent functions, the cause fur anv such re mark is hidden. The functions attending !Se.nT rrip" have been s spectacular that the o.uamt rights of the people handed down from commonwealth times escape notice. Before members of the house of commons were called to the house of lords. Thursday, the clerk of the house mumbled a bill for the better preventing of certain clandestine out lawries. This bill was invariably read for hundreds of years before a king's speech was heard, in order to assert the wfrhnnt houses to transact business without reference to any authority but its own organization.

WRECK A BANK. Grenola Burglars DestroyBaild ing Bat Get No Money. Grenola. Kan., Feb. 16. The Grenola State bank at this place was raided by burglars last might. It is believed that the robbers got nothing. It was evident ly the work of amateurs. Three explo sions were heard. Yates Dickie's hard ware store was broken into and powder, dynamite and drills taken from there. The vault and front of the building was wrecked, furniture and fixtures blown to atoms. The front plate of the time safe containing money and securities was blown oft but the safe was not open ed. The damage to the building and furniture is easily $2,000 and to adjoin ing buildings in shattered windows $200. The bank is protected by burglar insur ance. Local men are suspected and sev eral arrests will be made. A GREAT MATCH RACE. Charlei Herr 2:06, and Cresoeus 2:04, to Contest on the Track. New York. Feb. 16.

They are to meet before July 1, and harness horsemen at Madison Square garden talked much last evening of the probable outcome. Mr. Ketcham came on from Toledo especially to meet track managers with, purse proposals, and he think3 a race between the two greatest trotting stal lions in the world should be worth at least 112,000. The Cleveland Driving 4Club has offered $6,000. it is reported. All secretaries, of course, want The Abbott included, and it is barely pos sible that he may yet be entered. PHILIPPINE TBAJJE.

Coe and Mrs. Haines Lead the Crusaders. PROMINENT RESIDENTS Au Accommodating Jolntist Held a Light. Guided Women in Work of De struction. VISIT A DRUG STORE. On of the Smashing Party Earned With Acid. Supposed That the Bottle Con tained Whisky. Mayor Fred Diggs Says All ls Quiet Today. Last evening at 6:15 fifteen of the prominent women of Perry smashed two Joints and destroyed liquor in a drug store. Perry is a village of about 400 In habitants, 18 miles east of Topeka on the Union Pacific railroad. The women were led by Mrs. Coe, wife of the Methodist minister, and Mrs. J. L. Raines, wife of the cashier of the Perry bank. They wore no masks and no at tempts were made at concealment. They carried hatchets and were accompanied by their husbands to see that no one harmed them. They first visited the Joint kept by A. Brewer. He welcomed the women po litely, led the way to where his liquors were stored, and held the light while FRED DIGGS, MAYOR OF PERRY. they smashed the stuff. They then went to the Joint kept by J. H. Peak. Peak" offered no resistance and they destroyed all the liquor they could find, which in cluded five cases ;Of beer. In this place there was a handsome bar.with mirrors furnished by the Val Blatz Brewing company. The mirrors were smashed with a hatchet, and the bar was splin tered into kindling wood. A quantity of the liquor was stored in a cyclone cellar, a short distance from the house, but this was not overlooked. At the Peak place one of the women was deluged with beer when she smashed the head of the keg containing the liquor. The women next visited the drug store of D. H. Bouton and the liquor in the store was found and the bottles were broken. Mr. Bouton offered no resist ance. In this store one of the women, whose name could not be learned, broke a bottie of what she supposed was whisky, but which turned out to be car bolic acid, and the result was that her hand was severely burned. The other drug store in the place was kept by Mayor Fred Diggs, a son of Mrs. Annie L. Dlggs, state librarian, but this was not molested as Mr. Diggs has never sold any liquor In the five years he has been in business. The value of the property destroyed is about $700, not including the bar and mirrors, which will bring the total up to over $1,000. Jointist Peak said today that he is do ing business at the old stand in spite of the work of the Joint smashers. Besides Mrs. Coe and Mrs. Raines the following were in the Joint smashing party: Miss Ida Kunkle, Airs. Cora Burdin, Mrs. J. H. Thompson, Mrs. Matt Young, Mrs, William Austin, Mrs. John Rouse, Mrs. Dan Smith, Mrs. Dr. Zim merman, and others whose names could not be learned. Mrs. Ed. May started out with the women armed with a hatchet, but her husband saw her and picking her up in his arms he carried her across the street and prevented her accompanying the party. A large crowd of people followed the women and watched the work of destruc tion and when a keg was smashed or a bottle broken they would cheer. Mayor Fred Diggs said today that the situation in Perry this morning is quiet and tiat there is no sign of any further troubTe. He said that the Joint smash ing brigade was made up of some of the best women in the city ard that they appeared to be cool and determined. MRS. NATION COMMENTS. Speaking of the Perry smashing of last night, Mrs. Nation said today: "I commend those men who treated the women kindly because they have in gratiated themselves -in the hearts of those women." Mrs. Nation will- speak tonight at the Shiloh Baptist church, corner Twelfth and Buchanan. Sunday morning she will be at the Free Methodist church on Lake street near Eighth avenue. LAWRENCE WAKES UP. W. C. T. TT. Learns There Are Scores of Joints and Calls Mass Meeting. Lawrence. Kan., Feb. 16. The Law rence W. C. T. U. has called a mass meeting for tomorrow night to take ac tion on the local saloon situation.

The temperance people say there are scores of Joints here, whicn is denied vigorously bv the citv officials. Prof. E. E. Savre of the University of Kansas is a leader in the movement. CLOSE THB.EE J0INT& Citizens of a Sedgwick Town Hake a Demand Which la Heeded. Wichita", Feb. 16. A Beacon,' special from Derby, Kan., says: At Derby, Sedgwick county, there are three Jointlsts who have been running without license. The people demand either prohibition, or high license.

Tonight a meeting will be held and Jointists will be ordered to remove their fixtures. The resubmissionists there are acting in concert with the pro-htbitionists-on the ground that strict en forcement of the law will result in its repeal. JOKE ON EMPORIA. Thought Bffrs. Nation Had Come to .Town and Joints Closed. Emporia, Kan., Feb. 16. Late last night Emporia was set in commotion by the rumor that Mrs.Nation was in town. Some one registered her name at one of the hotels. The telephone bells were soon ringing all over town and in 20 minutes every drug store in town closed and the two or three Joints were barricaded.

Roosevelt and John Goff rode into Meeker from the Keystone ranch yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. When asked for" interviews the governor referred the correspondent to Mr. Goff. Mr. Goff said that 17 lions were killed during the hunt and that the governor killed 12, four of which he killed with his knife and eight with his rifle. Mr. Goff furtiier stated that Governor Roosivelt yesterday killed the largest lion that has been killed 4n this section, weighing 227 pounds and measuring eight and one-half feet in the flesh. Mr. Goff states that Rooseveit killed it with his knife. One of the most exciting ex periences of the hunt occurred during night before last, when Governor Roose velt killed with his rifle his second larg est lion. In order to get a shot at the unsuspecting beast the governor leaned the larger portion of his weighty body over a perpendicular cliff 40 feet high, John Goff holding him by the leg while Roosevelt aimed and fired and instantly killed his game. Governor Roosevelt expresses himself as having had the most enjoyable time of his life. Governor Roosevelt will leave Meeker today in a special conveyance. He will take the train this evening at Rifle, whence he will probably go home. BATTLE Of! ACM?. llrakeman Fights Desperately With Two Highwaymen. Chicago, Feb. 16. On top of a box car on a rapidly moving freight train last night William J. Bennett, a brake man, gave battle to highwaymen. He clinched with one of the men, and they rolled and tumbled about on top of the swaying car, each endeavoring to hurl the other from the train. The second robber finally rendered Bennett uncon scious with a blow on the head from his billy. Angered because of his narrow escape the first robber then mercilessly pounded Bennett over the head with his revolver, as the brakeman lay helpless, inflicting a dozen wounds and knocking out some of the victim's teeth. The rob bers stole Bennett's watch and money and escaped. Bennett did not recover his senses until the train reached th next station, when he fell into the arms of a yardman and was takeh to a hos pital. He may die. The assault took place on a train on the Lake Shore tracks in the southern part of the city. Russia Retaliates. St. Petersburg, Feb. 16. M.

Hailroad Hill at Last Agreed Upon. Follows Closely the Original Plans of Leaders. ONLY OHE OPPOSES. Senator Miller Disagrees With His Party Associates. Nearly All the Objections to Measure Were Minor Ones. In the Republican caucus Friday af ternoon the railroad bill as prepared by the Joint railroad committees was dis cussed and after a few amendments was adopted by the caucus. There was one vote against the bill after the caucus had got through with it. Senator Mil ler voted no and Senator Fitzpatrick, Representatives Rees, Short and Stav ley refused to vote. As the bill stands now in the shape it will be when passed, it is the old railroad law with the addition of power to enforce all reasonable orders and the power to fix rates and classifi cations. The board is composed of three members elected by the executive coun cil, no more than two of the board to be of the same party. The bill provides for four methods of enforcing the board's orders which are: Damage suits by in dividuals, criminal proceedings, manda mus action by individuals and manda mus proceedings by the state. The board may enforce its orders through the su preme court if It sees fit and the attor ney general must begin suit by the board when so ordered. Senator Miller attempted to amend the bill to make the board elective after the first year but his amendment was voted down. He succeeded in reducing the sal ary of the members which was placed in the bill at $3,000 to $2,500 but the salary of the stenographer remains at $1,200 as his motion to reduce that to $1,000 was defeated. All of the argument on the bill was over section 38 which 4s the section re lating to the enforcement of the orders of the board. Amendment after amend ment was proposed and discussed and voted down as not being the proper thing. All f the members agreed that this clause was the important part of the bill because the; fault of the old law was that the board "could not enforce its orders and that- was the fault to over come. Senator Smith proposed an amend ment making it campulsury with the board to bring suit when their orders were not obeyed irrespective of how tri vial the case might be. He held that if the board knew that their orders would be enforced by the court that they would use their power with greater dis cretion. The objection offered to this was that the board would have too much power and it would pile up costs on the state because many trivial appli cations would be made to the board which would not deserve that amount of attention. Mr. Mason said he doubt the advisa bility of Senator Smith's motion. He said the bill provided four ways for the enforcement of the board's orders, and he did not think the board should be compelled to go into the supreme court to enforce each order no matter how small, as it would clog the business of both the court and the board. After a general debate Mr. Mason in troduced a substitute providing that the board should bring the suit in the su preme court when they deemed it ex pedient. This was adopted. The section relating to the charge of half fare tor children under 12 years of age was amended by Senator Noftzger to make the half fare rate apply to chil dren between the ages of 6 and 12, under that age there was no provision made. Senator Ward made a fight to have the provision changed which states that every conductor must Issue a cash fare slip to people paying their fare on the train. Thecharge of ten cents extra is made for the slip which will be refunded when presented at the station. He said that the clause making the conductor issue a cash fare slip should be stricken out as it was an insinuation that con ductors were dishonest and needed leg islation from 'the state to keep them from stealing. His motion was lost and the clause will stand, in the new law. The' section over which ail the debate occurred and which was considered of such vital importance was adopted as follows: It shall be the duty of every railroad company and each and every officer. agent and employe of any railroad com pany and of each and every person en gaged in any capacity In the conduct of the business of a common carrier, to obey all reasonable orders of the board of railroad commissioners made under thS authority conferred by this act. In case any railroad company, or any such officer, agent, employe or person shall violate, or shall refuse to obey any such order lawfully made by said board of railroad commissioners, any person ag grieved thereby may institute and prose cute mandamus proceedings in the su preme court in the name of the state on the relation or sucn person to compel compliance with and obedience to such order. And in anyt case where, in the opinion of the railroad commissioners, the interests of the public require it, such board shall require, such prosecu tion to be brought by the attorney gen eral in the name of the state. The practice in such proceedings shall be as in other cases of mandamus, but the court may control the time of trial without regard to the time the issues are Joined. Cases instituted under the pro visions of this section may have pre cedence as to the time of hearing over all other classes of cases, except crim inal cases. The supreme court shall have discretionary authority to refer any of the issues in any such proceeding to a referee or referees, to be appointed by the court, for such hearing and find ings, and under such rules as the court may direct. In any hearing under the provisions of this section, the ofders and determinations of the board of railroad commissioners shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the matters therein stated and found. Disobedience of any Judgment, order or writ of the supreme court in any such proceedings shall be punished as in other cases of contempt. The proceedings in cases of contempt shall be summary in their nature, under such rules as the court shall adopt, and no Jury trial shall be required or had therein. In addition to the general pow ers of the court to punish foi contempt, the court shall have power to punish any refusal or failure to obey its orders, made under the provisions of this sec tion, by a fine of not to exceed $1,000 for each day after a day to be fixed by the court that such disobedience shall continue, or by imprisonment not ex ceeding one -year, or by both such fine and imprisonment. In any proceeding instituted under the provisions of this section by the attorney general, the costs and expenses on the part of the plaintiff shall be paid out of the general fund of the state, upon approved by the gover nor, attorney general and audito of state. The remedies provided by this section shall not be deemed to exclude or limit any other remedies provided in this act or existing in virtue of any law, but shall be additional thereto.

NO "DOUBLE HEADER" BIII House Railroad Committee Decides on Adverse Report The house railroad committee has de cided on an adverse report on the "double-header" bill. The bill was drafted to prohibit, or at least regulate, long trains. The requirements of Its provisions would have a tendency to do away with them and substitute two trains for one. as the expense would be the same to the com pany, practically, and would give work to the same amount of men, whichever way was followed. It provides that for every ten cars over thirty cars in a train an extra brakeman shall be put on. -Hence, if a double-headed train is run with 70, 80 or 90 care there will be necessary as many men to run It as for two trains. The committee disapproved the bill. It ls understood, upon the ground that the safety appliances in railroading are suf ficient guard against wrecks and legisla tion on the matter is unnecessary. There are many friends of the bill in the house anions the shippers who hold seats and a strong lobby is not to be so readily satisfied with the action of the committee. The double-header is a-grievance not only to the railroad employe, but tothe cattleman and shipper, and all these interests are represented on the floor and in the lobby. The bill will not go down entirely without an effort to revive it. FAVORS RESUBMISSION. House Committee Recommends Butler Resolution. The, house elections committee recall ed Representative Butler's resubmission reseolution from- the calendar where it had previously been reported without recommendation, for consideration by the committee of the whole. This time the committee declined to dodge the is sue. With a negative of but two votes they returned the resolution to the house recommended for passage. "They can't call us cowards now, can they, Dooley?" Chairman James Lawrwence appealed tothe gentleman from Montgomery. "That they can't," was the reply. "The papers that have been Baying we're afarid will have to haul in now." Joseph K. Choate Married. New York, Feb. 16. Joseph K. Choate, of Denver, a nephew of Ambassador Choate, and a son of the late Dr. George A. Choate, of Manhattan, and Miss Alice Muller, a daughter of Mrs. Geo. K.

The couple will make their home in Denver. German Tourists at Kingston. -Kingston, Jamaica, Feb. 16.

Th note adds that possibly Chao Shu Chia- formerly minister of Justice, may in included among those to sutler d-atli, but the court reserves its di t isiun in hi case. It Is also bluntly stated that no fur ther initiative will be permitted to 1.1 Hung Chang and Prince Ching, who m a berated for having failed to protest vig orously against the demand of the min isters for six executions, three posthu mous and three documentary.

It ia reported heri that seven nations today declared war against China. London, Feb. 16 The Tien Tsin dis patch regarding the declaration of war against China by seven nations Is not confirmed from any other source, possi ble this is only another version of Ilia rumored German ultimatum. Berlin, Feb. 16. The Berliner Tage blatt publishes the following from Its Pekin correspondent: "A big expedition comprising only Germanshas been ordered outfor eiphiy days, leaving only the marine battalion in Pekin." Tien Tsin, Feb. 15. It is asserted here that the real reason for the deadlock i:i Pekin is a difference of opinion between the foreign envoys and the military au thorities, the former favnrlng a with drawal of the troops at Tien Tsin and the latter urging a forward movement. It is regarded as possible that a certain power may advajnee independently should the deadlock continue. Pekin, Feb. 16. Count von Waldersea has issued a formal denial of the pub lished statement that the German troops are leaving China. He says he could not move one without instructions from i:-r-lin and that these have not been ie- celved. SUBSIDY BILL DEfJ. Opposition Will Not Permit It to Come to a Vote. -Washington, Feb. 16. That the oppo sition to the shipping bill in the senate will not permit a. vote to be taken on. the measure at the present session a made clear during the closing hour of yesterday's session. For several days it has been evident that it would be dif ficult to gain unanimous consent to tak5 a Vote on the measure, but not until late yesterday was the frank assertion made that a vote could not be had. A c the conclusion of several hours' consid eration of the bill Mr. Teller announced his purpose to prevent a vote at th; session." In an impassioned speech )m declared that he would not consent U any agreement to vote, and that it miit be evident to the advocates of the bid that no vote could be had. This state ment elicited a sharp response from Mr. Aldrich, who insisted that despite th declaration of Mr. Teller the business of the senate would proceed in accord ance with the wishes of the majority. Mr. Chandler asserted that the position of the majority was preposterous, an t Mr. Hanna replying to Mr. Teller be came impassioned in his denunciation! of the methods employed by the oppo sition to defeat the measure. Prior t. these remarks Mr. Perkins Cal.) de livered an eloquent and forceful Fpewl in support of the bill, but pointed out what he believed to bo defects In it. Il'i attacked especially the provision for th3 admission of foreign-built ships. A LOVER'S CRIME. Shot the Girl Who Rejected Him Then Wounded Himself. Logan, Kas., Feb. 10. Joseph B.

When lhi features of tliia bill are fuliy understood, it does riot seem that any one interested in Kansas and taking a pride in its splendid achievement could oppose it. In the first place, not a cent of the money appropriated wilt be available mtil the citizens of Shawnee county phall have put up $100,000 in cash, and paid the same into the exposition treas ury. Then only J100.000 of the amount appropriated shall go to the use of the exposition committee. The remaining tiw.ooo. or the bulk of the appropriation, shall be under the control of a commis pion of seven, one for each congression al district, to be appointed by the gover nor, who shall make a report to the governor every thirty days, and whose expenditure shall be accounted for as cither expenditures of state funds are accounted for. That the matter shall be entirely non partisan, it is provided that not more than four of the commissioners snail belong to the name political party. It is intended that the state building and exhibit will be paid for out of this fund. Should the bill pass, the delegation in congress will take hold and endeavor to secure an appropriation from the na tional government. Another source o revenue, to insure the success of the exposition will be from the sale of capital st.ieic. The exposition will be of great im portance to the state.

His wife was sick when he left, in fact he has been with her for about a week. The report he received stated that the case waa smallpox. He was thoroughly fumigated before going to the senate chamber this morning, and will go to Wichita this afternoon. He will not return for at least a week, so that the members need not be fright ened about contracting the disease. XOFTZGEIi DID NOT KNOW. While He Was Asleep the Enemy Sowed Tarea. Senator Noftzger discovered Friday that the men who own large tracts of land in the southwestern part of the. state had stolen a march upon people living- in that section, and had got a bill through the senate closing all the highways in that section which run through their large tracts. This would compel the farmers and others to drive around the land. He wants the bill amended so as to make the owners of these big pastures iiave gates so that the pastures can be driven through. The bill passed the senate at night while they were omntbusing the local bills through and had been sent to the house. He made a motion recalling the bill, and gave notice that he would move to reconsider it when it got back, ON TItlAL.

Charlie Mitchell Tisits With Joliu L. Sullivan. The Tiro Old Pugilists Talk Orer Other Times. LIKE TO BOX CORBETT English Pug Thinks He Is Not a Back Number. O'Kourke Would Offer a Pures For the Bout. New York, Feb. 16. Looking remark ably well and a bit more fleshy than on his last visit here, seven years ago, Charley Mitchell, the English pugilist, has changed little in appearance. He seemod to be almost as young as when he fought Corbett in Jacksonville in 1895. Immediately after his arrival the former English champion repaired to tne Ielavan hotel, where he was re ceived by Oeorge Considine and a num ber of local sporting men. Mitchell ex plained that the sole purpose of his trip vas pleasure. If he is toffered a match -ith Corbett or Jeffries, h will not hes itate to sign articles, but h is not seek ing a ring contest. I have come to New Tork to have a good time," Mitchell said, "and I expect to remain here about four months. I think that I can fight as well today as ever I could, and nothing would suit me better than to put on the gloves again with Corbett. Prize fighting in England is dead. This condition is not due to lack of Interest in the sport, but be cause we haven't any good men. I be lieve that McGovern could go over there now and became champion of England. The interest in the sport is keen. "I may appear in sparring exhibitions in some of the large cities here and take on a match or two if there is any money in sight. I now weigh 195 pounds. It is possible for me to train down to 180 pounds and get into fighting condition within ten weeks." Mitchell then called on John I Sulli van at the latter's place. Approaching the former champion, and his old-tune rival, with outstretched hand,' Mitchell said laughingly: "John, 1 am glad to see you. I wou'd like to box you four iounls right mw." Sullivan shook hands warmly with the man who gave him such a great fight in Chantilly years ago and remarked: "Oh, I guess our fighting days are over, Charley." Mitchell differed from John for lie said: "I've several good fights in me yet and I'm not above putting on the gloves with Corbett or Jeffries." Mitchell also remarked that he thought a ten-round bout between him self and Sullivan would draw a big crowd. Tom O'Rourke, when Informed of Mitcheu's offer to arrange a contest with Corbett, saidi "I think Mitchell and Corbett would make a mighty good fight and draw a very big house; If the men sign ar ticles of agreement 1 will offer a good sized purse for the bout and guarantee that it will take place without inter ference from the authorities." O'Rourke declined to reveal the loca tion of the fighting ground he had In mind. ,1 MASCOT BROUGHT $1000. Old Pacing Champion Sold to Dr. Flaggo at New York. New Tork, Feb. 16.

Business Increasing With Heavy- Order From Soliciting Agenta. New Tork, Feb. 16. R. G. Dun, Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Business continues of greater volume in all parts of the country and reports from the west and southwest of a satis factory distribution of merchandise by jobbers begin to have a familiar sound. Heavy orders come from agents on the road. There Is no important change in prices in any department of manufactur ed goods and some staples rise while oiheisi decline, but the longer the situa tion remains as at present the surer the business world feela about a rise in prices in the future for the demand for merchandise for prompt consumption does not decrease. Some progress has been made in the direction of nettling labor differences in the far west and the temper of soft coal miners is more amicable, while there is. little concern among steel interests over the sensational stories of organization at the mills to enforce demands for higher wages. The standard measures of business make favorable compari sons. i At some points there are evidencea of an inclination to delay operations in iron and steel until something dehnite is known regarding the proposed combma tion. but this applies only to small un deitakinea which are insignificant in comparison with the urgent dealings that can not be postponed. Purchasers find difficulty in securing even approximate dates for delivery of goods in many products ana miiia are so far behind with orders as a rule that no new contracts are sought. Structural iron and railway supplies are in great est request. Numerous heavy orders are being accepted this week at lull price". There is po inclination to shade quota tions of finished forms and pig iron at Pittsburg is being again advanced. No sign of weakness is apparent in any department of the boot and shoe in dustry. Some manufacturers have book ed orders that will insure running on full time well into May and it is an excep tional case where jobbers can secure March delivery even from the smallest shops. Salesmen are returning from the west and south with, most cheerful re ports and while local jobbing Is less brisk tnan last week, there is no com plaint. Forwardings from Boston were S7.437 cases, against 83,255 cases in the previous week, and although the total for two weeks is somewhat smaller than the 185,068 cases shipped last year, the movement in 1900 was heavier than in the corresponding fortnight of any other year. News regarding the textile manufac ture is less encouraging, despite the fact that sales of wool at the three chief eastern markets rose to 6,972,600 pounds, far exceeding- all recent records and showing a gain of 900,600 pounds over the same week last year. It was at this time in 1900 that the movement commenced to fall off and the depression began which has continued ever since .Cotton fabrics continued quiet and domestic mills are not fully occupied. Liverpool cables have given no support, while Manchester is securing raw cotton quan tities. These influences caused a further decline in middling specials and taking the price to the lowest point in three months. Exports in January were val ued at $35,837,934, against $27,089,251 in 1900, but the increase was entirely due to an advance of 2.2 cents a pound in the price as the quantity waa 1,842 bales smaller. W heat was advanced this week by re ports of receipts at the mills unfit for grinding. The flour output at Minneap olis is much, smaller than a year ago. and a further decrease is expected. At lantic exports of wheat, including flour, for the Week were 2,478,521 bushels, against -1,529,533 bushels last year. Failures for. the week number 257 in the United States, against 218 last year, and in Canada 40, against 42 last year. SUNDAYAT THE CHURCHES EPISCOPAL. Grace cathedral Bishop, the Right Rev. Frank R.

The people don't know it yet. They have been told; but they don't believe it they don't act on it. Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil is one of the principal means of cure.

American Car and Foundry Co. lias Adopted Designs. Foreign Countries Find Ameri can Steel Cheapest. The uses to -which steel is put are Increasing- all the time. The fact that a number of steel cars belonging: to east ern roads have been in Topeka yards lately is suggestive of a change which seema to be coming in most of the ma terial used by railroads. .Recently the Chicago. I.ake Shore Kastern placed an order for 1G0 of the largest freight cars ever built. The cars will be of pressed steel and will weigh 42,000 pounds each. They will be 43 feet .1 inches long- and will have a capacity of 110,000 pounds. The capacity of the latest big freight cars is 80,000 pounds, their weight 14,000 pounds. These cars will be used for carrying coal from the mines located along the Chicago Eastern Illinois road to the plants of the Illinois Steel company In South Chi cago and Joliet. It is predicted that the use of steel In car construction will open a much greater field for the American black smith, since steel from the .United States is in great demand in foreign countries. So far only a limited num ber of steel cars have been placed in use, and they have been in service only a little while. The tendency to replace wood with iron and steel in railroad construction is so great that it is skid within ten years the buildintr of frame cars will be discontinued. Faould this prove true there can be no doubt as to the blacksmith trade becoming more prominent in ten years. The number of members of this cralt would nearly double. The American Car and Foundry com pany, one of the largest car construc tion companies in this country, nas adopted designs of steel freight cars and cars with metal underframing, and will fiii a few special orders for this type. For American steel there will be a particularly great demand in the future. Foreign countries are investing heavily on acpount of low prices of metal in the United States. So far the call has been for steel rails and fish-plates; but should American steel cars prove their supe riority over those of frame then the market for steel from this country ob viously will be extended. TRUMBULL. MAKES STATEMENT cago decided upon, to be in. effect from May 1 to November 1: One and one-third fare for the round trip on tickets sold with a 15 day limit. This amounts to $18. One fare plus $2 on tickets sold with a five day limit. This amounts to $13. A rate of 1 cent per mile in each di rection for tickets sold with a limit of three days. This, figured on an average distance of 625 miles in each direction, will amount to $10.50. The tickets sold at this rate will be good only in coaches not being honored in first-class sleeping cars. There are two classes of roads oper ating between Chicago and Buffalo, standard and differential, with a differ ence of $1.50 in rates. From the an nouncement it is evident that the offi cers of the two sets of lines have agreed for the exposition to waive the differ ence in regular rates and make the same fare for both classes of roads. Except for the tickets sold at a 1 cent per mile rate and the three day limit, the form to be used will be what is known as the "iron clad" signature style. Thi will be done to prevent so far as possible the handling of the transportation by scalpers. Buffalo is a great distributing point for the rail roads, and has alwaya been a profitable field for brokers. Officers of the roads centering there are now attempting to have the city authorities pass an anti ticket scalping bill that will prevent traffic in the cheap tickets during the fair.

Colorado and Southern President De nies Report of Combination. Denver, Colo.. Feb. 16. President Frank Trumbull, of the Colorado Southern railway gave out the following statement today to silence the rumors being circulated of a combination of a portion or all of the system under his control with some other road or roads: "All of the capital stock of the com pany is held by five voting trustees, a maire infenrteri trv npntpet nil seonritv large. This absolutely precludes the domination of the policy of the road in the selfish interest of any other corpora tion, unless all of the stock be purchased, and even in the latter event an arrange ment would have to be made with the voting trustees, before the voting trus tees could be dissolved. It will thus be seen that it would be impossible to change the management of the property and its general policy w ithout the knowl edge of the voting trustees, particularly as the trustees are men who are eminent in railway and banking circles in New York, namely: Mr. F. P. Olcott. presi dent Central Trust company: Mr. J. Kennedy Todd. banker; Mr. Henry Budge, head of the banking house of the banking house of Hall, Garten Co.; Oeneral G. M. Dodge and Mr. H. Wal ters. Sly information from official sources is that nothing is going on in Colorado Southern matters. This refers to the rumored absorption of the road by other interests. "While the present management has never been' prodigal in the matter of promises, it is believed that the record of the last seven years sufficiently indi cates that what may be expected here after. The great improvement in pas senger service and the fostering of local industries of all kinds and encourage ment given to the mining of low grade ores all speak for themselves. "Another substantial and costly evi dence of Colorado Southern confidence in this section is the shop plant in Den ver which is just being finished. It is acknowledged by experts to be the finest of its size in the United States. "And besides all this, the importance of the line to Ft. Worth, giving Colo-' rado and Utah, as it does, a protect orate though the Gulf of Mexico remains unimpaired and as efficient as ever." ROADS GIVE RATES.

A special to the Post-Intelligencer from Victoria says: t, One of the most horrible mine acci dents in the history of the Dominion took place at the Union mines owned by the Wellington Colliery company, of which James Dunsmire, the premier of the province, is the principal share holder, in No. 6 shaft, one of the work ings of the big coal mine there. This particular shaft is situated right in the village of Cumberland. There were 60 men in it when the explosion took place, and not one of them escaped. The ex plosion Ignited the mine, wrecking the shaft from midway down to the bot tom and filling it with a solid mass of rocks, earth and timber. The first ex plosion was followed by several more, while the dense volumes of smoke is suing from the vent holes indica-ted that fire as well as gas was doing its de structive work below. As soon as practicable after the acci dent the men of the morning shift in No. 5 shaft organized a rescue party. No. 5 is situated about a mile from No. 6 but the two workings are connected by a tunnel, and through this channel an attempt was made to help the unfor tunate fellows in the wrecked shaft.

At Nanaimo the Dunsmuir steamer Joan awaited them, and they will proceed 60 miles by water to Union Bay, the remaining six miles by land to Cumberland to be made on. the Duns muir colliery railway. The Cumberland mine is one of the prooerties of the Union Colliery com pany, situated near Comox and reached from Union Bay by the private colliery railway crossing the Trent river over which the memorable bridge dis aster occurred a year or two ago. It has been singularly fortunate heretofore in immunity -from disaster, and was counted an especially safe mine to work In by reason of the character of the for mation in which the coal is found there and the manner in which it had been opened up. No. 6 shaft, the scene of the disaster, was bottomed in October, IRflS, at a depth of 814 feet. It is well con stucted and timbered with a mud wall, the pit being timbered with 12xlS awn hulks built solidly tog-ether 16 feet wide and 12 foet high. The shaft is located close to the railway and ventilaton of the mine is effected by a 14 by 6 foot Gnibal fan. which when run to its full capacity gives 85,000 cubic feet of air circulation per minute. The air enters by the haulage slopes and is divided into separate splits, the main split be ing at the point where No. 2 reaches off the main slope. KNIT GOODS TRUST.

Kew Haven, Conn., Feb. 36. In the eourse of his address to the students of Yale universitv, Justice David J. Biw pr. of the United States supreme court, referring- to the prohibition, laws or Kan sas, said: v "If every man (and woman) in. Kan Fas had done his best since 1SS0 to en force the prohibition legislation of that Ftate, Ueorge Washington would not have been obliged to divide his hatchet reputation with Mrs. Nation. 'The problem of government by the people depends upon the way service at the primaries is performed. To- the man who has a solemn sense of what gov ernment by the people means the pri mary and the polls are sacred places. The college graduate can make no ex cuse. He is the last man in the world who can plead ignorance of his duty in citizenship. He leaves college an am bassador from the court of learning. "Unfortunately no one can doubt that money is becoming a. factor, a harmful factor, in our politics. There is a temp tation for an office-holder to go out of office at least no worse than when he came. This is an evil, and it is more of an evil than it was in days gone by. I appeal to the value of high conscien tiousness to cure this. Let every one see to it that by keeping himself aloof from its contamination he is doing- all in his power to remedy .these conditions." In conclusion the eminent jurist made this prophecy: 'If the people of the United States ever believe or ever come to believe that commercialism controls politics they will rise and will rid themselves by forcing aside ail those who they believe axe re sponsible for these conditions." A FLOODED 3HXE. Mexican Catastrophe. Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 16. Particulars have been received here of the flooding of the Santa Rita mine in the Pacatate mountains, 200 miles south of Hermosil lo. Four miners were drowned and their bodies have been recoverd. One is Hor ace Christ, superintendent of the mine. The others are Mexicans,, Francisco ami Jesus de Lama, and Pedro Laradi. It is know that one other body, that of Abar Peralto, is in the mine, and it is proba ble that one or two others are there. The flood occurred Tuesday afternoon, and was caused by the opening of a vein by a blast. The main tunnel was flood ed and while miners in the upper end es caped, the workers in the lower end were caged like rats in a trap. Miners outside made a desperate effort to rescue their fellows, but without avail. When a mes senger left the mine for Hermoseillo they were still engaged ia their efforts to save their fellows. LIKE AMERICAN SENATE. Executive Council of Porto B,ico Not Subject to Injunction. San Juan, Feb. 16. Judge "William II. IToit, United States district judge for the district of Porto PUco, has decided That the executive council of Porto Rico is no more subject to injunction than the senate of the United States. This decision was given in a test case where in the Usera Bros., of Ponce, proceeded against the executive council and W. S. Lathrop. and applied for an injunction restraining Mr. Lathrop from working under a trolley franchise in Ponce granted in January, the Usera Bros, claiming certain vested rights which the franchise violated. The application for the injunction was denied on two grounds: First, that the executive council is a legislative hpdv. even when dealing with franchises, over which it has Jurisdiction exclusive of the house of delegates: and second, that vested rights did not exist before the American occupation. The Usera Bros, will appeal to the ni preme court against the order denying the injunction. The final adjudication is awaited with Interest bv many disap pointed investors. The matter is im portant to franchise seekers, aa it touches all grants made by the council. FILIPINtTsiriJATIOy.

Does Not Believe Bars Should Be Left ia Topeka. Mrs. Nation came to th State Jour nal office this morning, apparently much aggrieved over an article which appeared in the morning paper. She had left an article with a re porter condemning the action of the committee of 1,000 in delaying the move ment against the Joints, and calling upon the Home. Defenders to meet this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the office of Dr. Eva Harding. She said her "copy" had been so- badly "scraped" that she scarcely recognized the statements as her own. Regarding it she made the following statement: "After reading the article I went to the office to get this copy. No one knew anything about it or the reporter who got it. I exhausted every resource to bring about an explanation, but I must confess that matters grew more myste rious the longer I investigated. One said the reporter was in bed in an un known portion of the city; another said he was a stranger, and hadn't been here long; another said he was out at work. No one knew where his room was or when he would be in, and intimated that gathering copy waa uncertain. I thought they had no right to destroy copy -which they had not printed, as it was only a few hours old, and they had no time even to empty the waste baskets. 'Oh wad some power the giftie gie us to see oursel's as ithers see us. It wad frae many a blunder free us And foolish notion." "I told the Capital that I wanted the meeting called at 2 o'clock. They put it at 3:30, which would make it practically too late to accomplish my purpose. I was astonished in reading the article to find that the very points that I desired to make emphatic and bring before the publie were left out, for reasons best known to themselves, but unmistakable indications to myself that the Capital had no intention of placing me before the public as I desire to be placed. Else why would they change the purport of my article? I have been told upon sev eral occasions that the Capital was no friend of the Home Defenders. I have reserved my decision until I read the article in this morning's Capital, which was the straw that broke the camel's back. I shall refuse no communication to the Capital reporters, who have treated me very nicely, except with this understanding that no article or sen tence that I shall ever give them shall ever appear in their columns except as I give it to them, as far as I give it to them; no more nor less. "When the reporter called at my house after I had gone to bed I gladly arose and dressed myself and freely and cordially told him what I desired him to say. In that aj-ticle I spoke of how mortified I was to see that these 1,000 men had compromised, allowing these men so many days to sell, thereby ad mitting that they had a right; also al lowing them time and opportunity to facilitate the protection of this murder ous hell broth, which can only be pre served for a hellish purpose and to man ufacture devils. I cannot understand why God's people should acknowledge that the devil is entitled to respect. There is not in Holy Writ one instance where God's people ever compromised and gained a victory. I know that in the rank and file of that 1,000 men there are men that think exactly as I do, and were opposed to any delay, knowing that it tended to defeat and would strengthen the enemy. For instance, look at the action of Moses at the court of Pharaoh, that absolute monarch, and behold the wonduct of that servant of God, who would not yield to any com promise, saying "There shall not a hoof be left behind.' "Why are these goods allowed to leave Topeka or be secreted in out-of-the-way places where we women have no means of finding them? Why is the burglar allowed his keys and the as sassin his dirk? Of course that he may steal and murder. 'My people are de stroyed for lack of knowledge; and what will ye do in the end thereof? Nehemiah said in building the ruined walls of Jerusalem. "We are doing a great work and can't come down. Truly 'the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the vile take it by force." But if any man draw back my soul taketh no pleasure in him.

Barber, of the Diamond Match company is now en deavoring to organize a consolidation of the various cereal concerns outside of the American Cereal company la gen erally credited. Mr. Barber is in the west and no information could be ob tained at his office in reference to the report. Representatives of several of the independent mills also stated that they had no knowledge on the subject. There are indications, however, that the deal is under way. Whether it will be put through is another matter. The idea of a consolidation is not new. In 1899 an attempt was made to organize the American company and its competitors into a $35,000,000 trust, but the deal fell through. Last year a plan was under taken for the sale of the American Cereal company to an English syndicate, but that also failed. PAID THE TOP PRICE.

The Society of Sons of the American Revolution desire to say that the invi tations to the services for the celebration of Washington's Birthday were in most instances directed to but a single mem ber of the family.

All the wives whose husbands received invitations, and all the husbands whose wives received invitations, are most cor dially invited to attend the services of the celebration. Each unmarried person who received an invitation should bring one friend. ,WM. ELSEY CONNELLEY, Secretary S. A. R. Attention, Cheops Council No. 2.
