It was all harmony except when Mrs. Nation came in and then the re was a decid-d dissent expressed by hisses but the hissing stopped whr. Mrs. Nation sat down. There were 1.001 people present to h Ip rame the minority candidate for mayor and candidates for the oth-r city offices. The address wliki was adopted in the Turm of resolutions was written by Daviu Overmyer and hi; uncorked the via!s of his wrath which lad be"n tjotiled up for weeks. It was rot politic but .Mr. Overmyer relieved himself and that is something. ev4n though th-1 chance of huoetss was dis sipated. The address denounced prohr bition, preachers, law and order and ev ery ti.i.-.g else in connection. When the meeting was called to order H. I". Mitler was made chairman and John Cleveland secretary. Mr. Mili-r faid in lis remarks that the meetirg l ad b-en called to r.otn irate a man for mayor who was not a law and order Joan but a laws and order man: one who believed in enforcing all the law." .mi d who would not .irmly rid the city -of joints but would also rid it cf riot ana i.narihy. He said the best mayor the city had ever had was a Democrat at; i that they should put up a man fquallv as good if they expected to win in this campaign. David Overmyer was the real presiding of titer for he said just what should and should not be none. According to his instrufMons a committee on order of business and a committee on lesolutions were appointed and that was all formal Jirraneeiunts. mad. While ,he meeting was waiting for the commit tes to Ret, their reports in shape i.. M. Penweli came in and was cheered. Jfe walked to the front of to- hail and paid that he had heard that his name was to be presented as a candidate for inayc r. "1 don't want you to nominate l.ie lor the office." said Mr. Penwell. "for 1 cannot afford to mulc the race Kt'd could not lake tii'e place if I was elect., without-injuring my business. I would appreciate the honor, but can not afford it." 'When the committees had made their iep.ii nominations for mavor were in order and H. M. Steele presented the name of Albert Parker, saying that the people wanted a business man and a taxpayer. John Schmidt insisted on rmmmg L. M. Penwell. although he had 1-e.nieii and did so again when his name was mentioned. The demonstration of the evening1 was mad- when J. t:. I'iila.-d nominated Da vid Ovnnvtr. Thu men in the hall pe-m-d to lose their heads and cheer af ter cheer was given. Hats v. ere thrown in the air and canes waved w ildiv over the hfads of the cheering ir.css of hu manity. When th- chairman finally e- iired order Mr. Overmyer declined. He Rail that he could not afford to accept even u he were sure of flection. "I am t'nt insensible to this d. monst ration, and J appreciate it. but for financial reasons 1 can not accept. Mv busiii-s.s requires my time." He -.hen moved to make the nomination of Albert Parker unanimous and it was don- with a whoop. Mr. Parker was not in the hall, but a commnt.-e Ujs appointed to go after Mm. 1 h-y found him in bed. but he was persuaded to ,!rfSS and go to the Mil. He wanted to d.-oiine the nomina tion, but the me, tins? would rot hear of it and cried. No. n: you have pot to take ,t." He said that h- was not a speaker and only made a few remarks. He Faid he thought the convention could easily find a better man to make the race because he knew nothing of poli tics and could not make a pool race A. voice broke in with: "We will make Jluehes thmk different." and another voice rephed. -Oh, it's hard to tell what Hughes thinks." Mr. Parker concluded t-y Jiyra? that thee was som-thi:ig else to turn of besid'-s the liciuor-question and Ehat wnen people came h -re to pur chase property that they asked about taxes He said the waterworks question was of the latest importan.-e and that it should be attended to at once. "I will el" 'his if oK-cteo." The converti.m then proceeded to nom inate an entire city ticket. Kverv nom ination was unanimous and although.

His dis pleasure was the most hopeful sign of the evening for the Democrats as they jrefer to have the hoodoo in the other side. The most interesting event of the eve ning was the address by David Over myer. It was called the report of the committee on resolutions but. as a mat ter of fact, it was a speech by Mr. Overmyer which was accepted as the report of the committee. It had been carefully prepared and undoubtedly has the sanction of all who were present, for he was frequently interrupted i.n the reading with applause, cheers and laughter. The address is in full as fol lows: Twenty years ago prohibition was im posed upon this state bv a vote of many thousands short of a majority of the voters then in the state. More than half of those who participated in that election nave tneii or removed lrom the state. A very laryre majority of the present voting population have never had an or.DortunUv to express their wishes upon the ques tion of the further continuation of the pronittitory poliev. The iaw was ill received and has not lmprov'il In public estimation, but uoon the contra.r' has grown year by year mre and more odious until at "last it lias fallen into contempt. Twenty years mi iauui-e o ciiiorce mis iaw nas demon strated to all thoughtful people that no such thing as a full, complete or per manent eniorcement ot it is possible, and even its staunch-st adherents and de fenders make only faint and fitful ef forts, occasional spurts and spasmodic pretenses at its enforcement. In all the larger ciiies of the slate and in many o me sunnier ones lor many years ttie liquor traffic has been substantially as open and notorious as in states which do not pretnd to prohibit it. Being entirely unregulated this traffic under prohibition is at its very worst. The Republican party, being the domi nant political organization of the stute. has been agitated and turn by contending tactions over ine question ot prohibition, and being unable, as it feared, to do with out either has long pursued a policy of studied deception, which while it satis fied neither faction, furnished a sufficient excuse to each to continue to act with the parly. This lias been done by placing wet candidates on dry platforms, or by nominating ostentatiously dry candidates of sufficient skill in duplicity to flatter and csi.iole the dry people, and at the same lime give sub rosa assurances to the wei, assurances w tiich have been faithfully carried out except at snort in tervals when dry pressure has been too closely applied. This eiiy being the political center of the state, with a plethora of lawvers of leisure and "statesmen out of a job." and an oversuppiy of people who having no cares of liieir own, i-nd therefore ample time to attend to the affairs of their neighbors, lias for a lonft time been th? center cf the most incincere. deceit ful and pestilent agitation that was ever wit nessed. The aspirants for office at the hands of the dominant party have for many years been so niune: oos that the offices would not go round. The wet element has been indifferent to the piutfornw so that it got the offices. The primaries last year resulted in a victory tor the wets. The drys were wiid Willi rage and swore ven geance. So intent were they upon the defeat of their enemies that they induced the mayor, a mild and placid old gentle man, to embark upon a. pretended scheme of exceedingly stern law enforcement, hoping thus to hoodwink the law abiding and jwaeeful citizens and rally them t their standard in the present municipal cumpMin, snd thus overthrow the Ke publican wets, get possession of the city government and occupy a position to dic tate to and control the Republican or ganization, j ne nrsc step m tins law and order" programme was to induce the mayor to appoint a man to the office of chief of police who was legally ineligible to the place, oeing a non-resident of the city a farmer!. Tearnlng that he could not serve because ineligible, this Indis pensable man, this precious and inval uable person, this Cincinnatus. removed his family and his goods and chattels In side of the city, and was then ready to enter upon the great work of reformation, redemption and purification which no resident of the citv could be trusted to do. Alter the exuiration of one month the council had not conlirmed the appoint ment of tins rare reformer. The mayor's appointee couid not legally hold beyond the tlrst meeting of the council after his appointment without confirmation of the .S. Tt t ALBERT PARKER. council. Nothing daunted, the mavor ap pointed his man again and again, month afu-r month, and so for months we have had no lawful chief of police, and the "chief officer of the city has violated the law again and again in the name of "law and order." For months this un authorized and unlawful chief of police, while professing the greatest eagerness to enforce the laws, especially the pro hibitory law, witnessed its constant vio lation under his very nose in scores of places and winked at the same in the most open and undeniable manner. In due time Carrie Nation. the self-proclaimed agent of Deity and self-appointed regulator of the world, condescended to leave her rural home in Barber county to come to he capital to set matters right. As the Assyrian came, so she "came down liKe the wolf on the fold." This insane creature, gathering around her a motley crew of loolNh and weak minded women and knavish and dishon est men. inaugurated a reign of mob iaw. at first ludicrous, but gathering mo mentum and numbrs from the defective and perveried elements of the population, in a short time threatened the peace and safety of the city itself. Now the supreme moment for the so called dry politicians of, the Republican party. They seized upon the opportunity with avidity and sought to utilize the crazy fanaticism evoked by a manifest lunatic, lawyers who knew better hint ed at the probable legality of the riotous and violent destruction ot propertv. Orave and insinuating legal opinions wefe published in the newspapers tending in til-1 same direction. Ministers of the gespel, iciTlowers of the meek and lowly Jesus, disciples of the Prince of Peace whose admonition was. if smitten upon one cheek to turn also the other, pro fessed followers of the doctrines of those apostles who taught that evil should never be done that good might flow therefrom, these men. a portion ot the clergy only, but a portion ambitious to rule In secular affairs, laying aside their sacredotal robes, bounded into the arena of blood and destruction, boldlv advo cated and defended mob law, boasted that they had an organization of one thou sand men prepared to do violence, armed themselves with dangerous ajid deadly weapons, and actually led the mob in an (.Continued on Sixth Page.) n DEN. IIARRISOf GROWSVORSE His Chances For RecoTery Ap pear to Be Poor. Condition Took a More Serious Turn This Afternoon. SUFFERS MORE PAIN. Temperature Drops Slightly But is Still High. Physician Is Recalled Shortly After Leaving the House. Indianapolis, March 12. Gen. Harri son's condition was not so favorable to day. At 3 o'clock this morning there EX-PRESIDENT was a slight change for the worse. The patient seemed to be suffering more painc and was unable to rest. A little after 6 o'clock. Dr. Henry Jameson called. He had been at the Harrison home until 3 a. m., and had gone to his own home for a little rest. He found the general a little more com fortable than when he had left him. The temperature had drop ped to 104 4-10, but the respiration was weaker. The patient suffered a great deal in the afflicted lung. Later in the morning the patient was more comfort able and at 10 o'clock it was Announced that there was no decided change for the worse. At 10 o'clock Dr. Jameson announced that unleste some remarkable change oc curred little hope is entertained of the patient surviving many hours. The condition of the general is such that his relatives living elsewhere have been notified to come as quickly as pos sible. The physicians say that if the patient were a younger man, they would have some hope but owing to the age of the general, they do not look for any change for the better. Telegrams from all over the United States poured into the newspaper offices and to the Harrison home today show ing the widespread interest in the condi tion of the former president. IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. At 2 p. m. Gen. Harrison's conditirn Is very critical. He has gained nothingsince ore o'clock. His circulation remains fair. Dr. Jamieson issued the following bul letin: "General Harrison's condition is unchanged since 11 o'clock a. m. It is no more favorable than at that time." FROM THE PRESIDENT. The following dispatch was received by Mr. Tibbottr "Washington, D. C, March 12. Will you be good enough to advise me of General Harrison's condition. The pres ident is very much pained to learn by the latest reports of the serious charac ter of the general's illness. "GEO. CORTELYOU, Secretary." HIS BROTHER WILL GO. Kansas City, March 12. J. Scott Har rison, brother of Gen. Harrison, said at r.oon today that he and his wife would probably leave for Indianapolis this ev ening, although n word summonins them had been received. "BABY" M'KEF: HAS MEASLES. Saratoga. N. Y., March 12. Mrs. Mary Harrison McKee, who resides here and who is the daughter of Gen. Benjamin Harrison, would at once leave for In dianapolis were it not for the fact that her two children, Harrison and Mary McKee. aged 15 and 13, are confined to bed w ith severe attacks of measles. Both Mrs. McKee and her husband, James R. McKee are constantly at the bedside of the children. TO VISIT LUZ0I1. Senators Desire to Personally Know the Philippines. New York, March 12.

Important Decision Which Stops Work on Irrigation Scheme Great Bend, Kan., March 12 Monday afternoon Judge Clark rendered the de cision of the Cheyenne bottom land con demnation cases that knocks out every thing so far done. A motion was made by the attorneys for the land owner3 that all proceedings be quashed for the reason that the charter of the company calls for the use of the land for irriga tion and storage purposes, also for manufacturing-, -electric lights and other pur poses. The point, raised was that the charter 'called for the use of the lands for both public and private purposes and for which public domain could not be condemned. This point was ably discuss ed by attorneys for both sides. Judge Clark sustained the motion made by the land owners' attorneys. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court. This knocks out all the work so far done, and if the decision is sus tained by the higher courts, compels the company backing the enterprise to begin at the beginning and go over the entire ground with an amended charter. This decision involves 40,000 acres of land sit uated in the middle of Cheyenne bot tom, that was sought to be condemned for the purpose of a reservoir for irri gation and like general purposes. A canal has already been completed from :1 3.. EENJ. HARRISON. the Arkansas river, fourteen miles in length through whichc to oat the waters of the river into Cheyenne. SHIP'S CREW IN IRONS. Twelve Men of the Camperdown Held on a Charge of Mutiny. New York. March 12. The British steamer Camperdown arrived tttis morn ins from Cuban ports, sugar latien, with twelve of ht-r crew in irons. Instead of proceeding- to her dock after leaving' quar antine, she dropped anchor off the Statue of liberty, and Captain Smith sent for the police boat Patrol. When the Patrol steamed up alorrgside of the Camperdown the police found twelve men in irons, charged with mutiny. Six of the prison ers were firemen and six seamen. The Patrol transferred the prisoners to the shore, and they were taken in patrol waptins to a police station, where they arrived in handcuffs. The Camperdown. while on a voyage from Cuba to- New York, grounded on Cape I-ookout Shoals, off the North Caro lina coast, on March 4. She was gotten off two days after without assistance or difficulty and apparently uninsured. When Captain Smith gave orders lor the steam er to proceed to her destination part of her crew refused to obey the order to proceed, but offered ho violence. The British consul was notified this af ternoon that the men were locked up in thf Church street station, and it i prob able that they will be taken before the United States commissioner tomorrow. ANOTHER CITY TICKET. Home Defenders Will Meet To night to Nominate. There will be another ticket in the field at the coming election, if Mrs. Nation has her way and iUwill be the "Defend ers', ticket." Mrs. Nation brought the following no tice to the State Journal office today: "The Home Defenders will meet to night at 629 Kansas avenue to discuss the mayor situation and prepare peti tions' for a candidate." Mrs. Nation believes that Rev. F. W. Emerson is the proper candidate for mayor and she will urge his nomination. She called upon Col. Hughes Monday -and served formal notice that she would do all in her power to defeat him. "If 1 ou reform we may allow you to be mayor in four years," said she, but you'll not do now." WANT BREAD AND WORK Rioters Make a Lively Day For the Police at Ilipoll, Spain. Madrid. March 12. There w-ere riots yesterday at Rfrpoll. A number of groups paraded the town with banners inscribed: "Justice for all," and "Give us bread and work." The windows of several ptores aril houses were shattered with stones, the police were greeted with showers of mis siles and a shot was fired. The police fired a few shots in the air and then charged and dispersed one band of the rioters, but another composed of men and women attacked them desperately. A man was shot dead and three others were injured. The outbreak caused so much alarm that several manufacturers left the town with their families. Order has now- been restored. Change in British TarifE London, March 12. Presiding at the annual meeting of the Associated Cham bers of Commerce of the United King dom, which opened in London today. Lord Aylesbury foreshadowed changes in the British tariff and urged the neces sity of being prepared to promote the interests of British commerce on the termination of the present treaties. Al terations, he added, were already being considered in the treaties with Germany, Austria and Portugal. CITY'STWELFARE Dependent Upon the Santa Fe Bond Proposition. The Most Important Issue at Coming City Election. FAITH WAS PLEDGED. Failure of Topeka to Carry Oat Its Agreement Means Loss of the Great Loco motive Shops. Every Friend of the City Should Register at Once. The most important issue before the people of Topeka at the forthcoming city election, Tuesday, April 2nd, is the proposition to vote $70,000 in bonds toward the new Santa Fe "(hops. Only ten days for registration remains. So important is it to the city's growth and welfare that many can conceive of no opposition. It is hard to believe that there really can be any considerable number of votes in opposition. The committees from the Commercial club in charge of the furtherance of this great project have been greatly surprised to learn that there are many who de clare they will vote against the bords. Growth and progress have always, for some reason, engendered opposition In this city. Why it is, is almost incon ceivable. The, construction of the pave ments, which are "how the pride of the city, the building of the handsome Kan sas river bridge, the erection of the Auditorium, of which we are all now so proud, are a few of the improvements which have been made in this city des pite the most bitter opposition encoun tered before success was assured and results accomplished. Opposition to the voting of the bonds for the Santa Fe shops is more difficult to understand, for many reasons. Other cities in Kansas were ready to contrib ute in land and money, much more lib erally than was asked of Topeka. In view of the magnitude of the proposi tion, the $70,000, which is necessary-to se cure the site, over and above what the railway company was willing to pay, is an amount which is a mere bagatel compared with the benefits. After many enthusiastic meetings of prominent business men and citizens un ier the auspices of the Commercial club, the city pledged itself to provide the twelve-acre site and to raise the amount of money immediately required pending necessary action of the legislature to enable the bonds to be voted. Over 3,000 written pledges were obtained from vot ers who promised to vote for the prop osition when the legislature took the legal steps. It was absolutely necessary that the site be secured long before the legisla ture convened. Relying upon the writ ten pledges of the voters, the sentiment of the city and the enthusiasm of our people for the project, a number of en terprising citizens advanced thousands of dollars to secure the four acres for the beginning of the work, pledging that the other eight acres would be forth coming this year when the company was ready. The Santa Fe company, relying upon the solemn pledges of Topieka through its Commercial club and prominent cit izens, and the written pledges of over 3,000 voters, has gone ahead with its part in good faith. A vote against these bonds now Is a vote against the city of Topeka. The opposition exists, and the people who have the good of the city at heart must face it. Were there no material opposi tion the work would be going on today. As it is, it was suspended a short time ago solely on account of this strange situation. A Santa Fe official said a few days ago: "We have tons of material for these shops already upon the ground and other tons upon the cars. It would be a matter of but a few hundred dol lars to be spent to reload and reship the material. If Topeka does not carry out its promise ard vote these bonds th" new shops will certainly not be built here." It would be a breaking of faith of the grossest kind on the part of Topeka if the bonds fail: not only does the repu tation of Topeka for carrying out ita agreements hinge upon this proposition, but the w-elfare cf the city, the addition cf thousands of people and the location cf what will probably be the greatest railroad shops in the world, all depend upon our action. Since these pledges were made the Santa Fe company has expanded its plans, far more than were thought of at the beginning. The construction of the building for which the material has already been or dered will give a capacity of at least two locomotives a month, and the plans have now been arranged to provide for a ca pacity far greater than this. It may be safely said that $T00.000, will not cover the improvements which will be made by the Santa Fe company in this city, providing the city carries out 'ts pledges. Should the bonds fail the ciTTzens who have ad vanced over $2il.0e0 to secure these shops will lose their monev. as the JFiO.Ooti bond proposition covers the refunding of the amounts advanced by individual citizens. Only ten days more remain for regis tration: the books for which will he closed March 22. Let everv friend of the city who has not already repri.tered since January 1. do so at one.. you are not registered you can not vo'e. WAR ON THE MAYAS. Mexicans Are Closing la on the Re. bellious Tribe. Oaxaca, Mexico. March 12. A strong military movement, which, it is believed, will result in the capture of Chan Santa Cruz, the stronghold of the Maya In dians in Yucatan, by government troops, Is now uiider way. The Twenty-first bat talion, under command of General Vega, has left La Asceneion to make an attack on he town from the west, while another large force of troops, under command of Central Bravo, are advancing upon the place from the east. It is asserted that the Mayas are without sufficient ammu nition, and that there is a great scarcitv of food. The government troops w-ill move upon Tulena and Muyila as soon as Chan Santa Cruz is captured. Wheat in Farmers' Hands. Washington, March 12. The amount of wheat in farmers' hands on March 1 was 128.100.000 bushels; coro, 776,200,000; oats, 292,800,000 bushels. SIXTEEN DEATHS. Xhat Number Reported aa Result of Sunday's Storm.

The members of the Grain Dealers' as sociation are holding the annual state convention in Topeka. The organization is four years old and each of the an nual meetings has been held in this city. The meeting this afternoon which was held in the council chamber of the city hall was behind closed doors. Among the topics discussed were "'Short Weights at Terminal Markets," by A. C. Sherman of this city; "How Can We Secure Just Freight Rates General discussion by delegates. Report of G. N. Counsley, supervisor of weights at Kansas City, Mo., and "How Can W? Secure a Report of Reputable Dealers in the South," by H. L.. Strong of Con way. Tonight a smoker and social time will be the order of the programme a,t the council chamber. Following this the members of the association who ara in attendance will adjourn to the Ihrcop hotel where a banquet will be served. Tomorrow forenoon a business meet ing will be held and the, officers fei the ensuing year will be chosen. About 200 of the 400 membership of the associatioi are in attendance at the meetings, and tomorrow afternoon they will go to Kansas City where they will be enter tained by theboard of trade. Mr. J. E. Smiley, secretary of the as sociation, is very enthusiastic concern ing the work of the association. He feels that it is due to the efforts of the as sociation that Topeka has taken a place well up towards the front rank in the grain markets of the world. "The charges, however," said Mr. Smiley, "that the Grain Dealers' associ ation is a trust and thaf it is working towards the discrimination against the producer and that it is attempting to regulate and control prices is absolutely false. "The association was organized for, the sole purpose of harmonizing the in terests of the grain dealers and the grain producers, and to protect their interests at the terminal markets. This protec tion has been more in the way of keep ing the correct weights and grades checked up. "This bureau is kept up at Kansas City and Topeka at an expense of over $10,000 per year. Its advantages are not restricted to the members of, the as sociation but to farmers and all others, whether members of the association or not. Shippers from other states whose market is either Kansas City or Topeka are able to get this protection. "One of our men is kept at each of the elevators to keep a check on the condi tion and weight of every car of grain unloaded at the various elevators." COOKER BLOWN UP.

Although winter and spring have been playing a same of hide and seek, the feorsea quar tered at Churchill Downs have never been so forward in their spring work. and a week of continuous sunshine and warm weather would fit most of them for a race. Xaturally the greatest In terest centers upon the candidate for the Kentucky Derby, for the race is only about eix weeks off and tbe trainers are busy preparing their entries for the heavy work preceding" the race which is o determine whether they are fit to go the distar.ee.

Sullivan. No man who ever bid for public favor has mure loval or sincere admirers. Any thing John L. has to say is certain to be Interesting. He is rli h in reminiscences, remarkably well informed, and, more than anvthing: else, honest. With the example set by Governor Nash of Ohio it would appear that boxirjr will be under a cloud for some time, and that In JuKgUng with the public the "smart" boxers juggled themselves out of the giKi.c tnat lays tne goiuen esg inr mem. suiltvan was asKeu wnemt-r tie con sidered the sport had received a per manent Sf-tback or was merely in tem porary eclipse. "Boxins- knockod out? Not much. There will be boxing &s long as men live. lu a. few years tins present spasm 01 horror over the eiuful practice of de veloping physical trength will pass otT, and boxing will be legalized as it was before, and will b more popular than ever. "It's a wise guy who fights shy or tne law. I'm old and experienced enough to know there's nothing to be made in butting atsaiirsi It. When the distin guished gentlemen who have charge of the wnole works In onio ueciueo tnat they wouldn't let Jeffries and Ruhlin come touetner at Cincinnati tne game waj closed so far as John L,. could see. "1 haven't got much resptct for the opinion of th man who never saw a light but declares it's the most brutal and degrading sport in the world. Doesn't it sort or jar you to near or reaa oi a lot of people goinar into hysterics over the sinfulness of two trained boxers meeting in the ring, when these same people never let out a squeax or protest against toot ball, wrestling, hockey, or any other kind of sport that Is rougher and far more dangerous than boxing? The chances of breaking- an arm or a leg in a wrestling match are a dozen times greater than of receiving serious injury in a tioxing bout, and as foi football! P.xcuse me from that innocent game unless 1 have an armor plate suit and am allowed to carry an ax. Hockey is a juee, genteel game lust about as mild as football. liut, just tne same, wnen tne law says vou (an nlav football but mustn t txjx. the only thing to do is tt be patient until tne moguls get eense. "Things come Into favor and go out agnin. This old wheel of a world keeps turning around, and we turn with it. P. very man has some sporting blood in him. It s true you d need a search war rant to discover the sporting blood in some of the gazabos we hear about, but there never was an international prize right, a great yacht race, a mighty horse race, or a contest where pluck and skill were nrougnt lnio play tnat uitin t inter est every tieaeon, dude. Democrat, and Initchrnan from Maine to the coast and trom Manitoba to Mexico. At the pres ent time the people who pose a the goody-good crowd seem to have things all their own way. When you get to be as old as J am you'll know that every. hing goes in cycles. After a bit the pub ic will get tired of being too straight aced. and then our sanctimonious friends will drop out of sight and the people who believe in live and let live will come to he front. "I rt-in't say that the rank faking that marked some of the contests in this state last year didn't have a good deal to do with souring tht people on the boxing game. i ou can c tool tne puone long. i ne ngnter vno isn t on tne level to be driven otit of the business. J vel ought A boxer has to depe-tul on public favor for puik port. "When he fakes he not only ruin lis reputation and sioils his opportunity or making a gooil Imng. but ne bunkoes hose who pour money into his pockets, t's too bad the men who faked couldn't get what they deserved without having the honest men suffer too. That's aJ w a,vs the case, though. My advice to not only every athlete, but to every man, is: P.e on the level. "What do I think of the men of todav the boxers? Jeffries is the. best of them. and ought to retain the championship ust as long as he takes goo-1 care ol limself. No, I don't think Pltz, good as he is. ha.s any business with Jeffries. "I may be wrong, but I don t think we're improving as much as we think we are. 1 don't think the boxers of to day are as good as were the men of my tinie. X-Hm't think my he-ad is getting tn big for my hat when I say that the men in the ring today are not doing what 1 did in my prime. "I went up and down the line ready to meet all comers, and I went the limit for twelve years. I'm not saying thus in any egotism, but jut as a matter of fact.

Plunger Ellison Discusses tbe Ani mals Racing on the Pacific Coast. Hot Springs. Ark., March 12. Charlie Kllison arrived here last week and it is said he took $l,u"u from the local pool rooms the day ifter his arrival. He came here from San Francisco by way of New Orleans and Memphis. lie stopped over in the crescent citv hut a few days, for, as he says, the horses there are the poorest lot the southern track has ever stabled. In fact." he said, "there is not half a dozen real hrst-cla-ss thoroughbreds at the track and the game is nothing to what it used to be. I left what few horses I own in Prisco in charge of John Mavberry, who will train and race them until the California tracks close down." To a small coterie of friends gathered in the Arlington hotel one evening Klli son talked of his experiences in California and of the racing war. He said: "Prince Potiiutowiski has the Oakland people beaten to death a.s a manager ol' racing. He knows what kinds of cards the public likes, knows how to please the horsemen and as a result is getting the patronage. As politicians, however. "Williams and his crowd as far outclass the prince as they are outclassed at the racing game. Consequently 1 think the war is likely to be a long and bitter one. "Waring is the best of the all-aged di vision in the west. He is entered in the Montgomery handicap at Memphis and i just as sure to win it as he starts. They can't put enough weight on that horse to keep him from going under the wire first. I think Joe Prey is the best of the 3-year-olds and it looks like he has a pipe on the California Derby, which is to be run at the Ingleslde track March 3G. Just now he is i lie best thoroiiKhbred of his age in i tne world, and nothing but tne verv worst kind of racing luck can keep him from annexing the Derby to Johnnie JSchorr's bank account. "Montanle is the best horse T own and he came to me almost for nothing. I bought him from the prince at a marked down' sale, practically a $l.si bargain. While carrying the prince's colors he had not done anything at all. J put him in Mayberry's hands and after a good prep we slarted him irwfour races. He won three of them, and as I had bet a bunch of money on him I own my present resi dence in Kasy street to that horse. Spe cific Is another gmd one, but he has not done quite so well as I expected. He is a good horse at a mile." M'GEAW AFTER HOGKIEVEB. Indianapolis Kan I Likely to Close With the American League. Milwaukee, "Wis., March 12. It is prob able that Oeorge Hogriever, who played sptenctid ball lor the Indianapolis team season, covering right held., will be seen with the Baltimore club under John llcilraw the coming season. It waa ru. mored that Connie Mack was after Hog riever, but the chances are that he will be seen with the Orioles if he joins the American league. t-te was signea to an association contract a month ago, "W. H. "Watkins having- secured him. but now he considers that it is all off with the as sociation and he will sign elsewhere. A correspondent who interviewed him at jppleton this morning says: "George Hogriever has not signed with the Phil adelphia American league club as re- porteii. Me signed witn Watkins' Amer lean association club of Indianapolis s month ago, but since the death of that league he considers himselt tree. On Thursday, in response to a telegram from Manager MoGraw, of Baltimore, he sub mitted his terms by wire to play on The Baltimore American league team, but 'has not received an answer. He is not signed any where at present, but hopes to. close witn .tiauimore. MAY HAVE TEN CLUBS. Expansion For the Western League Brings Various Problems. Kansas City, March II. Ceorffe Tc b.'au. -who had tbe Denver franchise in the Western league Inst year, but trans ferred to this city when it was vacated bvthe American league, is having some trouble with the tienver backers, who were awarded a franchise when Tebt-au left.

In this case Lerivea .ni. possiblv. Pueblo, will remain. Should these cities remain In the circuit would be the longest ever attempted by a minor league.

Commander Rassieur Will Talk to the Boys. Junction City, March 12. The fii-st of ficial move looking toward the state G. A. R. encampment to be held in Junction City May 8th and 9th, via held this week. Department Commander W. W. Martin of Fort Scott, Assistant Quarter master General Denise of Topeka, and Mrs. Emma Wall, past deputy frrand president of the Ladies of the G. A. P.. have accomplised much work. To begin with, headquarters for all departments were secured at the Kartell. -ine iohow- ing are the places of meetings secured- All G. A. R. meetings will be held DC CasDar hall :the V. R. C. sessions will be held at the opera house; the Ladies of the G. A. R. meet at the court room. Sons of Veterans meet at the council chamber; the soldiers of the Spanish war have been assigned the G. IT. V.hali. On Wednesday evening- there will be a general open meeting held in the opera house. At this meeting there will be delegations from the W. R. C, Ladies of ihe G. A. R., Ladies Aid, Loyal Legion, Sous of Veterans and other organisa tions. They will be received by the de partment commander. There will be ad dresses of welcome and responses. This will be one of the most enjoyable meet ings of the encampment. It is probable that Friday, March JO. will be designated as "Fort Riley day." This is certain to be one of the biggest events Fort Riley has ever seen. With Gen. Miles present, it is safe to say tbe command at the posit will leave nothir.ff undone that will be of interest to the people of the state. It is now almost an assured fact that President -McKinley will be in Junction City It is so certain that the depart ment commander is making all plans with that in view. Should he come, and tha day be .fine. Junction City will not be big enough to hold the people. It is con servatively estimated that there will be :'u.0Ol people ii: Junction City to see the president. Geo. Leo Rassieur, general commander-in-chief of the national Q. A. R.,ill be here to attend the encampment. He will arrive early and remain during the entire encampment. This is a feature that will add interest to the encamp ment for the old boys. Out over the state there is the liveliest sort of interest being taken in the en campment cf this year. This interest extends to every county of the state, so the department commander assures us. Of course this means a crowd. In the G. A. R. there will, be 400 to 600 del"- gate?. Of the W. K. C. there will be 300 delegates; in the Ladies of the Circle at east 200 are expected; the Sons of Vet erans wilt send no less than 150. These number 800 to 900, but there will be thiee times as many visitors. All pay their own bills, come when they want to, re main for the fun and go home. We need have n fear as to a crowd. ALLEN MURDER CASK. Trial of Jim Harris Begun at Bur lington. Burlingrton. Kas., March 12. The Jury In the Allen case was secured at noon Monday. Twenty-four men were exam ined. four belmr excused for cause and the state and defense each peremptorily challenging four. Ten of the jurors are farmers, one is a hardware clerk and one a wajron maker in .BurimRton. In the afternoon the examination of Jurors To try Jim Harris was beeun Fourteen had formed an opinion, one was hard of hear-inff and one was over f0 years of age. These were excused. The state peremptorily chailens-ed three and the defense four. The jury consists of nine farmers, a blacksmith, a barber and a tombstone dealer, it was put in charge of a special bailiff and will be held to gether till the conclusion ot Mrs. Alien's trial, when Jim Harris will be tried. At 6 o'clock County Attompy Weaver bejrun the state's statement of the case. When he concluded court adjourned till today at 9 o'clock. John H. Allen, a wealthr merchant of Ottumwa, a village nine miles north of Kurlinsrton, was assassinated in his oor yard the nle;ht of Aprih 20. 1H00. rd was brought here, and Ieputy Sheriff Grennan, County Attorney Weaver and Coroner Salishury drove out and held an lii'iuest, at which these facts were elic ited: Mr. Allen had closed his store shortly after 8 o'clock and, accompanied by his wife bearing a lantern, went to his home, a short distance away. Mrs. Allen entered the house, leaving the lantern sitting- in the open doorway. As her husband came in someone hidden by some trees in the yard tired a shotgun and Mr. Allen fell dead with a gaping wound in his breast and his heart torn to pieces by a load of buckshot and slujys. The jury, having heard no testimony pointing: to anyone, returned verdict of -death at the hands of unknown, persons. But In the crowd that had gathered pome one inquired, "Where is Jim Har-1 ris?" Harris is man about 25 years old, shiftless and unprepossessing. Harris had always neen idle and lazy, nut no one thoug-ht him capable or so terrible a crime. The officers went to the house of his stepfather, ".Doc" Georcre Chris man, where Harris was found in bei. His shoes were muddy and his shotgun concealed under the bed had fresh mud in the muzzles, although he declared he had not used it for two weeks. He was put under arrest. His shoes were found to fit in the tracks near the scene of the murder, the trail was followed nearly to the Chrisman house, the place where the gun was rammed into the mud was found and the empty shells wer also found where Harris had thrown them. A bloodhound was brought from Iiwrenre. but refused to' follow the trail while the crowd was present, but later with its keeper and JDeputy Sheriff Grennan went from the Allen yard to Chrisman's house. Afterward, under the sweating- process, Harris made a confession, in which he declared that Mrs. Allen and he hail planned to put Allen out of the wsy. and later share his wealth, which both knew would be Mrs. Allen's by the provision of a will. Mrs. Allen was then arrested. She wept copiously and declared her in nocence. The next morning- in her pres ence Harris repeated his confession. At his preliminary he was bound over to court without bail. Mrs. Allen's examination was held In May. Harris was used as a witness, but while admitting- his responsibility in the crime, refused to implicate Mrs. Allen, re plying to every question tending that way "I don't remember."- Mrs. Allen was re leased on $2.(f00 bail bond. Bo far as the public knows there is no more evidence against her. but the correspondent has been told that the state has secured strong corroborative proof of Harris' con fession. The trial of Harris ha- been twice c trntffed and under the statute must take place at this session of court, else he is entitled to be discharged from custody.

In speaking of the unification of the Memphis and Frisco railroads, he said: "There is now a great deal of interest between the two roads, but no consoli dation. There are soBie people who own stock in both roads and naturally want both to succeed." Each will feed the oth er, but there will be no merging. Each will be operated separately. "The people will soon see ilk demon strated that the roads have no interest in tearing down any city on their lines. The roads cannot prosper unless the country they are dependent upon does.

James Callahan talked freely today for the first time of the Cudahy kidnaping and ne admitted he knew Pat Crowe well, but says he does not know the Cudahys. Callahan denied being with Pat Crowe when he bought the horse which figured in the kidnaping, from Daniel Bunis. "They arrested me because it had come to a show down and the police had to do something," said Calia.tan. "There had been so much talk that they felt that they had to do something and I happened to be the victim. Now they will go ahead and try to put it onto me just to secure the reward; but if I am given a chance to get at my testimony, I will come out and be shown to be in nocent as any man living. "As I have said before, the police don't want Crowe. They want to wait until they have tried me. Then if I am con victed they will still let Pat Crowe alone. However, I think that if I am acquitted, Crowe will come in, as he will have nothing to fear." HEW POLYGAMY1 LAW Has Passed Both Branches of the Utah Legislature. Salt Lake, Utah, March 12. Three days before the legislature comes to a close, the house, by a vote of twenty-five to seventeen, and after an exciting de bate in which more than a dozen mem bers participated, passed the Evans sen ate' bill amending that portion of the re vised statutes of Utah relating to prose cutions for unlawful cohabitation. Hav ing passed the senate last week by a vote of 11 to 7, the document now goes to the governor for his signature. This bill, which was introduced by Senator A. J. Evans of Juab county, has caused more discussion and more feel ing than any measura introduced at the present session of the -legislature. Its text is as follows: "Every person who has reason to be lieve that a crime or public offense has been committed may make complaint against such person before some magis trate having authority to "make inquiry of same, provided that no prosecution for unlawful cohabitation shall be com menced except on complaint of the hus band or wife or relative of the accused within the first degree of consanguinity or of the person with whom the nn law ful act is alleged to have been commit ted, or of the father or mother of said person, and no prosecution for unlawful cohabitation shall be commenced except on complaint of the wife or alleged plu ral wife of the accused; but this pro viso shall not apply to prosecutions un der section 420S of the revised statutes, 1898, defining and punishing polygam ous marriages." In answer to a request for a state ment as ta the object of the bill Sen ator Evans, its author, furnished the As sociated Press the following: "My object in presenting the bill was two-fold. In the first place, it was in tended to keep down public agitation by taking away from certain agitators the opportunity to arouse periodic furors against the Mormons, directly and indi rectly against the state of Utah and for that reason its primary purpose was for the good of the state. I believe that a general law upon our statute books, in conformity with the laws of Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Oregon and North Da kota and even more liberal laws, would create much less agitation throughout the country than the practice which has heretofore been resorted to of arresting every few weeks some Mormon- on a charge of unlawful cohabitation and having the arrest announced in glowing headlines by all those newspapers throughout the country which can be in duced to take up an anti-Mormon cru sade. Everybody knows that these ar rests have been made for political and religious purposes and not with any patriotic desire to enforce the law. "Within the last ten years much more than half of those involved in polyga mous relations have passed away by death, or those relations have been oth erwise dissolved. Most of those remain ing are advanced in years and no honor able purpose can be subserved by pros ecuting the few remaining polygamists. Everyone of these prosecutions is a source of regret to fully 90 per cent of the people cf Utah for the reason that such proceedings create an agitation harmful to the state. It may be that an agitation more harmful can be inaugu rated by reason of the passage of this law, but I do not believe it. To use the metaphor we are between the devil and the deep sea and the bill is intended to relieve the state of a condition of affairs more harmful in my opinion than this bill could possibly be. Surely, the United States will permit ttah to act In her domestic concerns with as much freedom as is allowed such states as those I have named, especially when the terms of the enabling act and our state constitution have been strictly complied with. I have in this matter acted with the best mo tives and according to what in my Judgment, is for the best Interests of the commonwealth." Representative W. Evanhorn of Salt Lake, who made an impassioned speech against the passage of the bill in the house furnished the Associated Press with the following statement: "The first object of the bill Is Indu bitably to prevent prosecution of those maintaining polygamous relations lng since contracted. The effect, however, will probably be to have adopted a con stitutional amendment giving power to congress to legislate" against polygamy and unlawful cohabitation. Laws pass ed under such circumstances, would be prosecuted by United States district at torneys sworn to enforce the law, and the violations will be carefully looked after. There will thus be a return to conditions prevalent against the aggies- sive prosecution under the Edmonds-" Tucker law, when hundreds of promi nent Mormons were imprisoned for their polygamous practices and number less others were in hiding or out of Utah to avoid arrest. There will, how ever, in case of conviction be additional hardships over those suffered in former timed. Those men convicted were Im prisoned here, near their homes arul were deemed by their neighbors as mar tyrs rather than criminals. Convicted! under United States laws they would be confined in United States prisons out side of Utah and away from the support and consolation of their friends. I op posed the bill in all friendship for the law abiding people of Utah and with pity for the suffering that those not strictly law abiding will bring upon themselves.

It Is reported that the Delaware legis lature refused to elect Addieks to tha Vniied States senate because he i3 not a resident of the state!

Evidently the farmers are to con tinue to enjoy the prosperity of which they have had so large a share during the past two or three years. That will be fr.j for the country. Notwithstanding Mr. Robert P. Por ter's report that municipal ownership of public utilities has been a failure in F.ng lax.d, London iias just voted for city ownership of almost everything1 designed to minister to the convenience and com fort of the people as a whole. Perhaps the citizens of the British metropolis had not been supplied with a copy of Mr. Porter's observations and dedjetions. Philadelphia Record: When the senate- of the United States shall under take to consider the protest against the" renting of Senator Clark of Montana, it will not have the same proposition to deal with that was presented on the oc asion of his first election. He did not bribe members of the legislature this time. He bought them at first hand from the sovereign people. The state of Montana might appropriately demand an accounting of Senator Clark; but it is 1-iard to see w hat grip his fellow senators will have upon him. SENATORIAL ELECTIONS. From the Chicago Record. From one point of view such scenes as were witnessed in the statelegislatures of Montana and Delaware are to be re garded almost with complacency. It is inconceivable that the people of this country will be disposed to tolerate much longer any methods nf senatorial election which are so subversive of honest, representative government. Taken in conjunction with the present deadlock in Nebraska, the Montana and Delaware rows for the performances call for no more dignified terra lay bare the true nature of the influences which are frequently permitted to determine the character of a state's representation In the national senate. In not one of these three states has the struggle over the senatorship arisen from differences of opinion as to who would best represent the state. In not a single instance has there been a resuit which by any construction could be in terpreted as the fulfillment of public wishes. In Nebraska, where personal wrangles and the divergent wishes of two influential railroads ha.'e been the P-ading factors in the fight, the deadlock sutTlced only to show the telative unim portance of the people's wishes and in terests as compared with those of the politicians and lobbyists. In Delaware, where tha irrepressible Addtcks is still able to control enough rotes to prevent an election, the legislature has adjourn ed without making a choice, and the state, which has not had two represen tatives in the senate since 1393, again forfeits its right to full senatorial rep resentation. In Montana, lately the scene of the outrageous Daly-Clark fight, a senator has been elected, but his selection is only the result of a compromise, the legislators being un able to agree upon any of the candidate! whom the people had considered as probabilities. Some idea of the triviality and indecency of tha struggle may be pained from the fact that amid the rioting- which attended the balloting one of the contestants gravely proposed to an other than they draw lots for the sen atorship and abide by the decree of luck. It is time to put an end to the out r;;eous game which politicians and lob byists with private ends to serve are piaying in the state legislatures. It can not be pretended on the ground that the BaXiuu-abla squabbles In Nebiaska, Mon tana and New Jersey arise: from any real consideration of right or of popular welfare or play any proper part in the governing: systems of state or nation. The fights have been disreputable exhl- bitions of self-seeking from first to last. The "rights and Interests ot the -state have been the last things considered. The conditions thus disclosed are such as no people believing in representative government can be expected to tolerate. The people of this country have post poned action Ions, but in the face of such evidence they can have no excuse for further procrastination. Senatorial election by popular vote must come, and the sooner It comes the better. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Take away women and men -would fikw.

From the Philadelphia Record. Love may laugh at the locksmith, but never at the goldsmith. The only exercise some fellows take is in rushing the growler. The pen is mightier than the sword when it comes to signing checks. Few men's trousers get baggy at the knees from saying their prayers.

M COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS. Two facts should be borne in mind in connection with Marie Coreili's "Sorrow 3 of Satan," William A. Brady's elaborate production of w hich is to be given at the Crawford tonight. In the first place in touching upon religious matters it does so in no irreverent way. No one of the more than a million people who ha'e. read the remarkable story in- this coun try reeds to be told that it could not offend the most sensitive of the devouc. On the other hand the general theater goer who has no settled religious convic tions, need not fear that the piece, on this account, lacks-dramatic interest No book of recent years has been so filled with, the theatrical element tut surprise, none has had a stronger tendency to keep the reader out of bed until he has finished the final page. As a drama it is said to contain situations of absorbing nature never before attempted, and it can readily be Imagined that a plot deal ing -with the devil's appearance on earth and successfully playing the part of a leader in modern London's smartest social set. would arouse curiosity and hold attention; that a fascinating Sa tan, who longs to be-good and is wor shipped by bealtiful women, would prove a matinee hero of the -most pronounced kind; and that the electrical effects.from which he cannot altost-ther rid himself even in his human guise, would delijjut the gallery. James K. Hackett wifl appear in "The Pride of Jennico." a romantic play new to this citv, at the Crawford Thursday. Mr. Hackett is, perhaps, best known for his magnificent production of Anthony Hope's Rupert of Hentaau." "The Pride of Jennico" has been very successful in the east and affords the star superb op portunities. It is a dramatization of Egerton Castle's novel. A summary of the plot follows: Basil Jennico, a young Englishman, settles on the broad acies in Hungary left him by his deceased un cle. The uncle has stipulated that '.he young man marry no one beneath the rank of a princess. Jennico determines to comply with his late uncle's wishes. The Princess of Dornheim, Marie Ot--tilie. takes up her temporary residence in Jennico's castle. She is accompanied by her maid-in-waiting., and introduces herself to Jennico as the maid and the maid as the real princess. Jennico de termines to marry the princess though he has really fallen in love with the sup posed maid. When the couple return from the church Basil discovers that Ottilie has substituted herself for the bride. Believing that she, a lady's maid, is beneath him in rank, he is fur ious, but love triumphs over everything, and the couple live happily together for a month. Ottilie does not confess the deception because she wishes to be cer tain her husband loves her for herself alone. Prince Eugen, a cousin to Ot tilie. and himself in love with her, visits her at her husband's castle. Basil, nat urally jealous at learning of this, de mands an explanation, which she le fus.es to give, not liking the tone he as sumes. This results in a quarrel and separation. At the beginning of the third act we find Basil at the "Silver Stork Inn" in search of the woman he loves.- Every effort he makes to recover Ottilie is Mocked by Eugen, whose hired assas sins waylay the hero and attempt his life more than once. A master hand with the sword" Jennico has little trouble in defeating his adversaries, with the ex ception of Eugen. The latter contrives to bring Ottilie face to face with her husband, first warning her Jennico will be shot instantly if she acknowledges him. This is one of the supreme mo ments of the play. When Ottilie stes the armed cohorts of the prince lined uo ready to compass Jennico's death, she horrifies her husband by renouncing hirn and leaves with Eugen. A few moments later circumstances come about which reveal to the young man the real reason for uttilie's action. Jennico tracks the chief conspirator to a brigand s lair in the mountains. Eugen has provided a priest who is to marry Ottilie to him. Jennico disguises in the priest's cowl and robes and at an opportune mcmeiit knocks Eugen down, seizes his sword, and defeats single-handed, all of the prince's followers, and hurls Eugen over a cliff to his death. A rescuing pariy from Ottilie's home. arrives at this mo ment. and then the young husband learns for the first time the true rank of the woman for whom he has gone through so much. Mr. Hackett has had no bet ter role than Basil Jennico, and his leading lady. Miss Bertha Galland, is declared to be most excellent as the Princess Ottilie. One of the most gorgeous productions known to the stage will have its setting at the Crawford Friday and Saturday when Messrs. Joseph Brooks and Ben Stern will present Miss Blanche Walsh in "More Tharr Queen." a story of I lie tragic love of Josephine for Napoleon. Miss Walsh, judging from her enactment of the Sardou roles, seems eminently fit ted for the part of the Creole Empress She has the physical attributes, the tem perament and dramatic ability, whloh ability, if it has not been developed to its fullest, has been because of lack of opportunity. Josephine, as depicted by Emile Bergerat, is a character which should give her that much desired op portunity. It is said of Miss Walsh that she has realized the possibilities of the character and has achieved the greatest degree of success in her even brief ca reer. She has been surrounded with a capable company, including William Humphrey as Napoleon. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. So many people, when you hear about them, sound well. A favorite way to praise a man Is to abuse his kin for imposing upon him. Dry goods clerks have a contempt for any man who buys his wife's clothes. Some men have such unfortunate dis positions that they work against their own business. Don't neglect yourself to do work for others that is ineffective, and only a bother to them. If kin could know all they say of each other, they wouldn't get along as well as they do. There are always a lot of people wil ling to pay a little something to have their prejudice tickled. If children are good and healthy, a mother has to rush in among them every five minutes to keep them from killing each other. When a particularly worthless per son is justly punished for folly, he quotes the saying that "whom the Lord loveth, he ehasteneth." When every girl in a large family is married, every one wonders if the mar ket was ever slow, and wnat method w as taken to push the goods. A woman has greater love for her children than their father has: She will iet them tear pages out of the beat book In the house, and he won't. Notice is served on an Atchison wom an that she has been complaining of ills too many years to be any longer in teresting. Peopje who used to condole, now turn and run. and if any sympathy is expressed, it is for her family, who have to wait on ber. SIX MORE HEADS. AH That the Ministers Are Likely to Demand of China. Pekin. March 12. A general meeting of the foreign ministers was held today at which the reports of the committees were heard. Regarding more pun'ish ment of the Chinese connected with the boxers, there is strenuous opposition against demanding many heads, but a list containing the names of 96 minor officials will shortly be presented to Prince Ching and LI Hung Chang, urg ing that they be tried for complicity in the outrages and punished when found guilty in such manner as the Chinese themselves see fit, except in the ease of six men, who the ministers think should be executed. The report of the committee on the general principles on which indemnity claims should be considered was adopted. Those claims, which are palpably unjust, will be disallowed. Mr. Rockhiil's proposition providing for daily meetings of the ministers will be followed so far as practicable. When any minister is unable to attend meet ings, the meeting will not take place. Otherwise the meetings will occur daily. The report of the committee ou the legation quarter defences probably will be considered tomorrow.- Though the committee has declined to notify the Chinese owners of property confiscated the register of claims of the ministers probably will, where just, see that the amount involved is added to the total of the general indemnity. The minis ters will soon meet Prince Cliing and Li Hung Chang to consider questions re garding public buildings and grounds. LODGE ORDER FAILS. "Select Friends' Forced to Sus pend Receiver Appointed.

The or der has a total membership of 3,600 in Kansas, Missouri and Colorado and was carrying six million dollars insurance; Following the revocation of the license a friendly suit was brought by Dr. J A. Wells of Erie, the head- national officer of the lodge, to recover $300. It now de velops that its object was to secure the appointment of a receiver, which was done quietly at Yates Center yesterday by Judge Stillwell in chambers. The re ceiver is C. C. Dutton of Erie. He has arrived to take charge of the affairs of the lodge." Supreme Secretary W. I. Linn of this city, says the extremely high death rate of the winter of 1900 strained the lodge's financial condition. Arrangements are said to be making with the supreme officers of the Ameri can Crusaders, a new lodge with head quarters in Kansas, to transfer the in surance of the Select Friends to that or der. There are two lodges of the Select Friends in Topeka, Shawnee Lodge No. 116. which meets at SiW Kansas avenue and Capital Lodge No, 56 which meets at 418 Kansas avenue. There are about 200 members in Topeka. MID THEM IT RAINED Just as Kitchener Was Abont to Catch DeWet. London, March 12. A dispatch from Gen.

X S 1 i J i i t ,u f

Gunner Chas. Morgan whose application for promotion called forth thestate ment from Rear Admiral Sampson that an enlisted man is socially unqualified for advancement to the line, is deluged with letters from perfect strangers who wish to express their sympathy. Many promise to do all in their power to see that he gets the desired' promotion, public feeling against Admiral fcampson is atiil strong. v e r w o r You know all about it.

The International Federated union for the independence of the Boers, with delegates from most of the European countries has held -meetings in Paris for the past three days. The American delegate is Mr. Matten. It was resolved today to address a pro test to the various governments against the conduct of Great Britain in violat ing The Hague convention. The ITnion also issued a manifesto eulogizing the valorous struggle or" the Boers, fighting in the cause of liberty. It was decided to form an international federation of the pro-Boer committee. MORE TIME Will Be Allowed For Ratification of Reciprocity Treaties. Washington, March 12. It Is probable that the time for ratifying the treaties with Great Britain respecting- reciprocity with the British West Indian colonies will be extended during the present week for a period of one year or elg-hteen months in order that the treaties may be considered by the senate nex t Decemhfr. It was first thought the West fndian. treaties lapsed at the clo?e of the con-, gress, but it now appears that four of themthose on British Guiana. Jamaica, Turks and Cacos islands and Bermuda continue in existence until March while the Barbadoes treaty has until June 8 within which ratification can be made. Following the extension or the time of V.; iyer9s n a ratification of the French treaty, the Brit ish authorities intimated a desire to have similar action taken upon their treaties. As the request was granted to France the same course doubtless will be pursued, as to Great Britain. UAINS SEVEN VOTES.

A Star special ifrom Burlington, Kan., says: "Mrs. Allen was today found not guilty of the charge of instigating the murder of her husband, John H. Allen, the wealthy Ottumwa merchant last April. Jim Harris, a tough character, who confessed that he shot John Alien and claimed that he and Mrs. Allen had planned the murder, was put on the btand, but refused to say a word. Alirr trying in vain to get him to say some thing the county attorney said the state was unable to do anything without the testimony of Harris.. Judge Graves then instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty. There was no demonstra tion when the verdict was read. Mrs. Allen cried. Harris has pleaded not guilty to the charge and is being tried. TllICKED MAN AND TOWN. From the New York Tribune. "Life in a mining camp when it is snowbound," said L. B. McCormick, of Chicago, yesterday, "is a dreary time, and men will do anything for the sake of a little amusement. The story I am going to tell you actually did occur, and at that time we all welcomed the joke as a godsend and made a1 hero of its perpetrator. "The winter of 1893 rested an appall ingly heavy hand on the Coeur d'Alene. Buried many feet deep under a mass of fleecy mow, the country lay prostrate. So intense was the cold and so heavy the weight of the snow that it was pos sible to work none but the richest claims. Ingress to and t-gress from that bountifully rich territory was a feat that none but the hardiest man dared essay, for it was an even chance that death from exposure might be the lot of the one who attempted it. Wallace at this time was a thriving, busy, prosperous town, where the artificial excitement of a mining boom everywhere betrayed it self. The shutting down of many of the mines had left a large number of men living in Wallace with nothing to do. Time hung heavily on their hands, and nothing was of too small importance to attract interest, provided it held out the hope of killing a few hours of the dreary time of waiting. "Just at this period the most promi nent young lawyer of the town fell ill. There wasn't anything particular the matter with him except a heavy cold and impending fever, but, being some what of a hypochondriac, he at once be lieved himself to be in a dangerous con dition. He promptly took himself to his bed in the rear of his office, denied him self to all but two or three of his in timate friends, installed a nurse to look after his wants, and promptly gave him self over to that luxury of believing himself to be really ill which is so dear to the hypochondriac's heart. The three men who were his friends, and who were admitted to his apartment, took ad vantage of the conditions surrounding him to perpetrate a practical joke that has since become famous in the north west. They gave out the news that the lawyer, one 'Jack' Greene, had died, and as his mourning mends they received the camp, which called in a. body to ex press its regret. "In the meantime Greene, in the next room, heard nothing, the visitors being naturally quiet in the presence of death. One of his friends went to the local un dertaker, and, informing him that 'Jack' was dead, purchased a coffin. Alleging the hard winter and consequent hard limes, he beat the undertaker down to one-half his price. The undertaker, however, got even by supplying a plain pine box, painted a deep black. This was placed in 'Jack's' office, and in the dead of night lumber carefully weighted to the weight ot Greene's body was packed inside it by the three conspirators. The lid was then screwed down, and the fol lowing day John Greene, followed by the entire population of the town of Wal lace, Idaho, was laid away in the cold, cold ground. "About ten days later 'Jack, having entirely recovered his pristine health, appeared upon the street. To say that his advent created a sensation is to put it mildly. Three or four superstitious miners, thinking it was his 'hant.' straightway took to their cabins on the hillside and to prayer and fasting. The only woman in the camp had a fit of hysterics and fainted dead away. Greene, however, stopped the general panic that his appearance was precip itating by stepping Into the Crystal Pal ace saloon, and there absorbing his four fingers of 'red eye' in a perfectly natural and earthlike manner. It wps hard to tel! whether the town of Wallace or Mack' Greene was the more astonished by the explanations that there ensued. At length, when those present had be come convinced beyond cavil or doubt that It was Greene in the flesh and not Greene in the spirit (although by this time it must be confessed that spirit in great plenty was in Greene), they sent for the three conspirators. 'What did you do it for?" was the question ad dressed in blunt and simple teims to the ringleader. 'Well. I'll tell you. You see, we wanted to run 'Jack' for a town office and we thought in this' way we could get a line on how he stood with the com munity. But' and here he slapped a wad oif new spaper clippings down on the bar in front of the astonished and aggrieved Greene, "Jack." you won't do. Just read those obituaries, and see what the people think of you. Why, after such a send-off as that we would n't dare to run you for the office cf picking fleas off a yellow dog that was locked up on the town farm Card of Thanks. We wish to extend thanks to our friends for the many kindnesses shown us at the sickness and death of our father. MRS. JAR S. STANSFIELD. MRS. ETTA LACEY. GEO. W. STANSFIELD. Mr. and Mrs. D. M.

AFTER EFFECTS CP GRIP Are Often More Serious Thau tiie Grip Itself. Physicians and grip sufferers alilra are agreed that the after effects of the dis ease are more to le feared than th-i acute attack; you can npvr be sure that the disease has left the system complete ly. LaGrippe naturally att.-icks the weak est organ and haves it still weaker. Not only pni'umoniu. consumption, bronchitis and throat trouble follow the grip, but kidney, liver and stomach are troubles just as liable to result, provided any of these organs should happen to ha li a weak condition at tb Unm ot at tack. To get rid of the grip germ, to get it entirely out of the system and blood, few remedies are so good and none safr than Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they are not a compound of powerful and dan gerous drugs, but a pleasant, paiatabl onvenlerit remedy in tablet form, com posed of the w holesjtne antiseptic princi ples of Eucalyptus bark, blood rt and similar germicide remedies which are perfectly wholesome and harmless to ti e system, but death to the germs of grip, catarrh, consumption and diseases of the throat and air passage. Mrs. ('has. Gormley of Memphis says: Last winter an attack cf the grip left me with weak back, a persistent cough and loss of flesh and appetit and after using various remedies for several months with little or ho improvement I finally bought n. j0 cent package of Stu art's Catarrh Tablets at my drug stor and as they were pleasant and conveni ent to take I used ttifcm at all times of day or nitrht and I was astonished to secure such fine results from so pieasai t and convenient a medicine. In two weeks my cough disappeared, my aprwilte re turned. I improved in flesh and color and ro fine would now think that I ha ever had such a thing as the grip. My druggist told me he fnM mor or Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, for the cure i f grip, colds and catarrh, Ulan any otl.er similar medicines. BRITONS ARE NETTLED Over the Reception of Their Action on Canal Treaty. London, March 12. The foreign office officials here are nettled at the state ment cabled here that no opportunity is left for further action in the case of Great Britain's reply to the United States' notitication of- the senates amendmunts to the Hay-i'auncefoti. treaty. It is pointed out that Great Britain's reply invites further proposi tions from the T'nited States. Moreover the foreign office understands that sinne thing of this sort is already contemplat ed in Washington. A representative of the Associated Press has been officially informed that there is no desire of the British govern ment that the matter should be dropped. They confidently expect further nego tiations and hope for a satisfactory con clusion, though this does not lessen their lnsistnce in the integrity of the Clayton Bui wer treaty until signatories consent to its abrogation. Protests Are Urged. Shanghai, March 12. The American and British in China have cabled to their respective institution at Wash ington and London urging that protests be made against the Russian Chinese Manchurian treaty, and It. is understood here that the Germans have taken sim ilar action.

Congressman Curtis Says Opening oi New Lands la Delayed. Congressman Charles Curtis says the Kiowa-Comanche reservation will be opened to settlement August 1. It is ex pected the survey will be completed in June and that allotments can be made in midsummer. There are 2,'XK,000 acres in the tract. Mr. Curtis Is back from Washington.

"One of the conferees on the bill told me," says Mr. Curtis, "that the manner of i-pening the reservation would be left to the president- If this is the fact there will be no grand rush and no 'sooners.' The land will be divided by allotment. Two plans are proposed. One is to allot the land to the persons fltst sending in letters after a specified date; the other is to heap all the letters, con taining applications, into a pile and then prepare a box containing cards with the riumbei-s of otiarter-seotions of land marked upon them, together with a suf ficient number of blanks to make the re quired number and draw them after the lottery plan."

GOXETOCUBA. Senator Proctor Will Investigate the Island Conditions. New York, March 12. Senator Red field Proctor of Vermont has it is an nounced, gone to Cuba and will be ab sent about two weeks. According to a special from Washington to the Herald, Senator Proctor's visit to Cuba is taken to mean that the administration is not entirely satisfied with the official reports it is getting regarding the sentiment on the sland toward the United States.

Armourdale. shortly before 5 10 o'clock last night, and with the aid of s a hatchet and several large stones suc- ceeded in smashing a $250 mirror and hacking up the bar fixtures before be ing ejected from the ptuee. They were taken Lo No. 3 police station, where their j bonds -were fixed at $10u each. There were several men drinking at J the bar when the three raiders entered the place. (iuulo Nitz, the bartender, suspected trouble when he saw the wo- j men, but he did not have time to pre- I Tent their entering the barroom. With- out a word of warning airs. Smith jerk- ed an old hatchet from the folds of her i ress and began her work cf destruc- I tion. The bartender leaped over the bar In I one bound, and caught Mrs. Smith in his j arms. At this juncture Mrrs. McNutts (ia.ugb.ter threw a rook through the mir- rr, and (retting possession of the hatch- I et attacked the bar. The men who were I drinking at the time the women entered at first fell back from the bar in appar ent fear, but they finally recovered from the thock and assisted the bartender in i; putting all three out into the street. By 1 this time Officer George Saviire and Pa- j trol Driver George Griffith, who happen- S ed to be at No. 3 police station, which f is only a block from the scene of hostil- ities, were attracted to the place by the j mob which gathered in tiie street in front of baton's saloon. The three wo men were placed under arrest bv the j two officers, but they openly resisted, s Several bystanders were asKed to help i land the crusaders at the station. In j the excitement the girl escaped, but re i turned to her mother, who was held at 3 the station. s The smashing of the Armourdale sa- 5 loon last night was the result of plans Hid by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. MeNutt. j Mrs. Smith is a widow, livins with her 1 two sons at 334 State avenue. She is probably GO yeais of age and very strongly resembles Mrs. Nation. She wears glasses and declares that I the Lord has recruited her in the great fight that is to be made against the sa- loon evil. When asked at the police sta I tion if she Intended to keep the "good j work" up after regaining her liberty, .she i replied that she did not know. When j asked why she and Mrs. MeNutt had visited Armourdale to smash a joint s when there were so many like places j nearer their home, she said that it was t robody's business why they chose Ar rnourda'e as a field of action, and inti mated that probably they would reach the other saloons later. Mrs. Smith seemed to be the leader of last night's crusade, notwithstanding the fact that It was Mrs. McNutts daueh ter who did all the real damage. The i ftlrl threw- the rock through the mirror. and hacked the bar with the hatchet which had been wrested from Mrs. Smith liy the bartender. In the scuffle, the girl j got possession of the hatchet and j 1roueht it down on the bar several times i before taken ito custody. Mrs. MeNutt is the wife of R. E. Me tNutt. an employe of the Armour Pack ing company. He live3 at 302 Ferry street. She declined to discuss the part taken hy her in the smashing of the joint. She said that she was not a mem ber of any temperance society at pres ent, but had always been an active ad vocate of temperance. S;-e and Mrs. Smith have been acquainted for a num ber of years, and planned to raid the saloons several weeks ago". She said that she and her daughter both had cause to destroy the sale of liquor if puch. a thing be in their power. The girl Is rather good looking and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the Jesuit of the night's proceedings. After being taken to police station Fergeant Snyder announced that their lnil would lie $100 cash each. The wo men did not hve the necessary security and they were detained at the station tiouse. They will be arraigned In police court this morning on the charge of dis turbing the peace. THE GLORY OF WAR." From the British Weekly. Near the battlefield of the Modder riv er stood a little farm house amid a clump of trees. Thither all day Ions the Boers had home their wounded. When the battle was over a correspond ent of the British Weekly went to the rpot, curious to see whether the Boers hs.d carried away all their wounded The place was ruined by shot and shell and everything was still as death. As the correspondent approached a woman's figure, tall, desolate-looking, eppeured at the door. Speaking in a low voice and in the best of English, she 3 id: "There is no one In the house now, sir, but a dead man and a little child. You are an Englishman. Ton will respect a hnmj which has been desecrated and de stroyed." Lifting his hat, the correspondent said: "Madam, if I can be of any help to you. I am ready the more ready because you ore a countrywoman of my own." Restraining with an iron will her pent :p agony, she replied: "I want no help. There is no help for me and mine this Fide of time. You can come in if yo.i like, if you wish further speech with me." Entering. the correspondent saw a rule cradle with a babe In it .and a dead sol dier lying on a bed. dressed in a Boer fighting garb. "That is my husband, sfco said. "1 am fortunate, perhaps, that lie has met death at his own door and that I am thus spared the suspetise r rich has torn so many hearts in South Africa since the war began." Then she nwked the cradle w La a passion of ten tlemesa. "iuu &r xut a. soldier," ehe toegaa. "Will you ait down? I should like to talk K I may. 1 have been here all day and 1 have never spoken a word. men sne told how the day had been a horrible nightmare to her as she had tried to help relieve the wounded, and how fiie had refused to go away with the Boers and leave her dead husband. Snatching a flickering candle and ap proaching the bed. she said: "Look at hira well. He is one of those who have been traduced and lied about as cow ards, breakers of faith, tyrants, extcr- -dusts. There he lies one of Coil's .blest. A nobler never drew the breath 1 lite." She then told the story of how- she came 10 be there, saying, as she again rocked the cradle: "He has had no sleep toda poor iamb, and the guns fright ened him. If those who are responsible for this war could only get a taste of its horrors, I think it would come moie speedily to an end. It is only the glory they read and think of the glory and tiie "gain. Of the cost my God! What do they care for cost? Boer or Brito-r., they are ali alike. I came out to visit my sister in Durban seven years ago. I met my husband at her house, and I never vent back. He had a little mn ey. and he bought this place just fL'e years ago. We made it together, and we loved it. Now it is destroyed, and he. is dead. He was forced to take part in a quarrel which interested him but little. My brother is a lieutenant in the Cold streams, who were fighting today. Per haps you know him; his name is Ever shed, perhaps it was his bullet that killed my husband. That is the horror of this war. It is a fight between those who are or ought to be brothers. My husband said God would never forgive it to England or South Africa." "Would you like me to go back to camo and make some inquiries about Mr. Evershed?" I said. Thank you," she said, "but that is needless trouble. If he is not killed or wounded he will come here. He knows the name of the place. Hark!" "The little dog. shuddering on the hearth." the correspondent writes, "gave a shrill, uncertain bark: a heavy foot, the clank of a spur without, and some one came within the door." "Emmie, oh, Emmie, are you there?" The speaker was an English lad. his features working convulsively, his arm in a sling, as he came limping into the room. At the first possible moment lie had hurried painfully across the fields to try and find his sister. "Oh, Jack!" she cried, as she fell uopn his breast. The correspondent left them, went away, with a sadness of which lie could not rid himself. Such a. scene as this needs no com ment. How oft it is repeated in one way or another in every war! And yet people are they still human beings? shoit for war and talk of its glory. AGAINST STATEHOOD. Test Vote Taken in the Legislature of Hawaii Honolulu, March 5, via San Francisco, March 12. The joint committees of the legislature returned on the 3rd on an in spection of the leper settlement on Mo lokai island. The members of the na tive home rule party announced to the lepers that within a few months they would be granted local government at the settlement. They will elect a board of aldermen, mayor and all other offi cers necessary to conduct their small municipality. The general supervision of the settlement will be under the con trol of the board of health. The legislature proposes establishing an experimental station at a cost of $25. Out) where a systematic study of the disease can be made. Several lepers were examined and found to be without the slightest evi dence of the disease and if they are able to satisfactorily stand a bacteriological examination they will be dismissed from the settlement as cured. A special deputy from the customs office is on watch at Waimea. Island of Kauai, for the arrival of four sealing schooners from Vancouver. Waimea is not a port of entry and -unless the mas ters of these vessels report immediately to Honolulu and enter their ships, they will be seized and held until a fine of $1,000 has been paid. The territorial grand jury today rec ommended that the pictures of political offenders against the defunct republic of Hawaii be removed from th rogues' gallery ar the territorial prison. This matter affects many prominent poli ticians, as scores of them were arrested at various times during the revolutions against the government charged with aiding the natives. In the senate today Tc:l Brown, a senator from Honolulu, called for a vote on a motion to table a resolution asking congress to grant Hawaii statehood. When the votes were announced it was found that Speaker Russejl had voted in favor of the motion, thus defeating the, resolution asking statehood. Brown ac cused the speaker of acting in an arbi trary manner by voting. Brown was called to order and refused to surrender the floor and the sergeant-at-arnra was ordered to arrest him. The men would have come to blows had not a motion to adjourn prevailed. GRIMES IS SILENT. Refuses to Discuss That Private Sec retaryship. Frank Grimes, back from the national capital, seems less buoyant than before he went to Washington. It may not have anything to do with it, but the knowing ones say that he has not recovered from the ocerawing influence of the effete civi lization that Is supposed to prevail on the other side of the Alleghanies. While in Washington the telegraph v.ires brought the information that Col. W. W. Smith had been appointed, private secretary to Senator Burton, whereas everybody had it settled that it was to be Grime-. The tate treasurer says he had a. very pleasant time while in Washington, with the senator and Vice President Roosevelt. It has been announced that the senator and Teddy are twoming quite chummy. Grimes says Senator Burton is aNo gain ing a close friendship with the president. It is Burton's plan to do everything in Ills power to support the administration, keeping in the background himself for a year or so. Now the sharps say that it is thlr great social gulf that showed itself and caused Mr. Grimes not to get the private secre taryship. Here to be a friend and close to the senator is quite a different thing from being a. subordinate in Washington. Mr. Grimes does not care to discuss the question. 1 Whisky Trial Postponed. Palina. Kan., March 12. The ase cf Henry Stevens and wife charged with selling liquor, which will be tried under the new Hurrel law, was continued :n Justice Kingman's court here until March 25.

WELL KNOWN PEOPLE Hare Been Owners of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Four Other Wives Apply Court For Redress. to The district court this morning -was turned into a court of separation and Judge Hazen was busy dividing families against themselves upon their own re quest. While the court was deciding cases other cases were being filed with the clerk. Lulu Pigg brought suit against her husband, Aaron T. Pigg .until re cently proprietor of the Fifth Avenue hotel. In her petition Mrs. Pigg claims that her husband has been extremely cruel to her and that he has called her vile names and used vulgar and abusive language toward her and that "he has often at tempted to strike the plaintiff and on the .night of March 6 he attacked the plain tiff and attempted to strike her and ac cused her of infidelity toward him. That fearing her life the plaintiff left the de fendant. That it is impossible for the plaintiff to longer live with the defend ant." Mrs. Pigg asks the court to restrain Mr. Pigg from disposing of any of his property and to allow her the custody of the one child and temporary alimony pending the result of the suit. She cites that he owns $4,000 worth o-f furnishings inthe Fifth Avenue hotel, horses anu carriages worth $500 and has deposited in a bank some $1,500. Mary M. Bradfield asks that she be divorced from her husband, Frank BraJ field. She says he has been cross and Ulnatured toward her and that he has also been extremely quarrelsome and has practiced extreme cruelties. That he is extiemely jealous and that she and her children are afraid of him. Rosa A. Duvall also knows of rin'9 infidelity and wants to leave her hus band, Daniel Duvall forever. She charg?s him with drunkenness and cruelty. She says he has beat and abuVjd her shame fully. Mrs. J. Parish could no longer live with her husband because she said he was cruel and drank. She appeared in court and told her story and was divorced. The judge asued her about alimony and she txplainecl that her husband had toid her that he could not bring suit for di vorce and win it but that she could ard and that if she would he "would do what was right" in dividing the property no owns w ith tier. Mrs. John Spahn has at last mustered up courage enough to go into court and asks for a separation from John. She made a case once before but it never went to trial. The judge took up the case this morning and 14 w itnesses were sworn. The Spahns have been heard of in courts often. They are Russians and speak nothing but German. An interpre ter was employed. Mrs. Spahn explained that right after she was married to John they commenced to fight and that thev have kept it up till she left him a short time ago. He seemed to have been vic torious in the encounters as she testified that he whipped her. She said he drank and when asked how much said "allhe can get." Judge Hazen had other cases befor3 him. Safah Jackson was allowed a di vorce from William Jackson. W. 1". Bellman could no longer live happily w ith Mary Bellman and the judge legal ly separated them. G. D.

Visits Democratic Convention and a "Hugging Match." Mrs. Nation made a tour of the city last night. She first went to the Demo cratic mass meeting in Metropolitan hail and her appearance was greeted with mingled cheers and hisses. Sh sat down near a window and re monstrated with a man for smoking. That was a signal for a hundred men to light cigars. "Mr. Chairman," said Mrs. Nation, "you talk about order and these people who are smoking are out of order. Won't you have them quit?" Chairman Miller said he was unable 10 do so. Mrs. Nation then moved over to where a window could be opened. John Schmidt wanted her ejected from the hail and a helf dozen sergeant-at-arm led him away. Mrs. Nation soon left the hall. She said she could not stand the smoke. She then visited the Hudson dancing hall where she remonstrated with the young people for engaging in a "hugging match." She referred to the waltzing. Auctioneers are a.n obliging lot: they always attend to every one's bidding. PARKER IS NAMED. (Continued from First Fage.) assault upon an unprotected building, de molishing its doors and its contents, un til restrained by the police, and then re sisted and assailed the police until sev eral persons were seriously injured. In stigated by the anpeals and leadership of these tierce shepherds of the divine flock, the mob assailed several other places, and in violation ofall law committed riots and trespasses of the most violent and dang-erous character. AU this was. done in the name of "law and order." AU this received the full endorsement of what is known as the drv faction of the Repub lican party of this city, until through the firmness of a few of our officer? these lawbreakers were made to understand that their offenses would brlnar upon them the punishment of the law. when the so-calied dry faction, satisfied with appropriating the supposed political ben eUt of the agitation, announced that no further acts of violence were necessary, but at the same time Rave forth most signiticant 5 intimations that the r';?ht to n sort to mob law was an undoubted one, and migbt be recurred to if necessary; in the meantime brrathlngr forth, senti ments of the? most destructive character and threatening the judge of the district court with violence and even assassina tion. Such was and is the spirit and an imus of the so-called 'lw and order" or "dry' Republican element. Move by disappointed ambition, by re venge for past defeats, by pride of pur pose, by bigoted hatred, by selfishness, and an intolerant, destructive and dia bolical spirit, this element has boen and is willing- to plunge this community into all of the horrors of vast and uncon trollable riots, involving extensive loss of life and the slaughter of innocent peo ple, to say nothing of property, in orrie to pain the ascendancy in the Republican organization and dominate the affairs of the city. Arrogating to itself all the worth and ali the virtue of the commu nity, this element has shovn itself the least worthy, and the most dangerous of any element of our population. Of its component parts the most active have been certain self-righteous and Phara sical organizations, such as the '"good citizens' league," the very name of which is a insult to every peaceable citizen who is content to attend to his own busi ness and uehave himself, and honestly support his familv and pay his taxes. Also an organization known as "home defenders," whose members having for the most part no homes of their own, have volunteered unsolicited and unin vited to defend the homes of all other persons. Inscribing upon their banners "good citizenship,' "defense of homes," "law and order," and "law enforcement," they organize themselves into a vast mob, numbering as they boast one thousand men and a goodly number of addle brained women and silly girls, and go forth armed with firearms, axes, hatch ets, hammers, stone hammers, stones, missiles, sledge hammers, crowbars, bat tering rams, and other gentle imnlemeuts of peace and order, and proceed in large numbers to commit riot and destruction upon every hand. In a single day these "law and order" people purchased at one hardware store three dozen and at an other rive dozen revolvers so that it is safe to assume that upon that day not less than five or six hundred of these deadly weapons were purchased by these self-constituted guardians of "law and order in this city. That all this could happen in a city be fore peaceful, in which nothing had sud denly happened to change t he current of events or sentiments, shows upon what a slender thread tha peace of the city will hang until the. hypocrites and im postors who masquerade a? the "best people," but in whose hearts lurk the deadliest crimes, are completely rebuked and given to understand that the road of mendacity and audacit. of claptrap and of violence, is not the road to office and to power, and that hatred. intolerance and self-righteousness are not the attri butes which can command either the ad mira tion or the acooiesceuce of an en lightened and fair-minded people. This pretended "law and order" propa ganda having appropriated whatever ad vantage it could fmm the reign of terror inspired by the leadership of maniacs and moral and intellectual perverts, proceed ed to demonstrate its insincerity by the nomination for mayor of man who never had been in sympathy with the pro hibitory law, but who was willing to make ali the promises required to secure the support of tiie, prohibitory faction upon the one hand, and to allow his past life to be a guaranty to the other side, that his newly embraced "law and order" principles would not be un obstacle to the course that he would pursue if ei'-eted. The eminent propriety of the candidacy of this man upon a platform of "law and order" is further illustrated by the fact that his only claim to distinction is based upon the fact of his disobedience of or ders of his superior while a colonel of miiitia in the service of the state, for which disobedience he was duly tried, con victed and discharged dishonorably from the service by a military court martial. The assaults made upon his adversary, a most estimable and worthy citizen, have been so unscrupulous and brutal as to stand without a parallel in the history of the city. Nominated by a combination of ex tremes, gaining the support of the pro hibitory faction by profuse promises, while permitting, as charged by a Repub lican paper of the city, a liquor estab lishment in his own property, and permit ting some of his supporters to whisper as surances to the jointists, J, W. F1. Hughes stands today a the choice of lawless ex tremes, and absolutely certain, if elected, to give to the city the most lawless and incompetent administration it has ever had. Men do not gather figs from thistles, nor can a. "law and order" administra tion spring from the turmoil and tribula tion of violent Hots, murderous mobs, midnight marauding and red-handed an archy. The injury already done to this cit y by these lawless and violent v pro ceedings has been incalculable. Slowly recovering as it was from former spasms and convulsions of folly, this outbreak of fanaticism has discouraged its citizens, de-pressed its business men, retarded its enterprise, deteriorated its importance, degraded its sentiments. debauched its people, even blow the low watermark of chronic prohibition, and diminished the value of every foot of real estate within its bounds, and made us the laughing stock of the world. With a load of costs taxed upon this county estimated at $50. tttO per annum, accumulated in vain at tempts at the enforcement of the pro hibitory law, with a tax rate of !.60 on the hundred of assessed value, nearly the outside limit of the law, w-ith a people staggering under burdens heaped upon them through the fallacious and dishonest; pokey which taxes virtue and exempts vice; with a people harried and bedeviled to the point of unutterable disgust, and to the extreme limit of forbearance, bv in vasions of pestiferous fakirs, adventurers and moon-struca moiausis ana moutning mountebanks from all quarters of the world, calling to their aid domestic pre tenders, political charlatans, pious frauds and destroying angels, the sturdy, sober, industrious, upright taxpayers and citi zens of this city who attend to their own business .defend and protect and preserve the purity and sanctity of their own homes, maintain themselves and their families 'and obey the laws, are now brought face to face with a condition which must be met with firmness, intelli gence and courage. After twenty years of pretended prohi bition, with its duplicity and deceit, its tyranny, imbecility and hypocrisy, its pcK litical intrigues, its partiality in adminis tration, its opportunity always embraced for cheap notoriety, its favored political drug stores, and its favored political joints, its spotters, spies and perjurers, its pponges. paupers, lickspittles and suckers, its bootlegers and blind tigers, its rot gut, white horse and hop tea, its hot spurs and hoboes. Its taxe and tumults, its cost, corruption and crime, its law lessness, iniquity, demoralization and so cial retrogression; after al this adde to the unbroken testimony of every state and community in which the attempt has been made, that prohibition never has been enforced in any community, the man who will promise or pledge himself to its successful enforcement must be either an imposter or an idiot, while the man who cannot see that prohibition is a dead, let ter and that it is our duty as cilizervs of this state to resubmit the question of con stitutional prohibition, is f"r too blind to lead. Nevertheless. It is a law. and while it remains upon the statute book it i3 the undoubted dtitv of every officer who is charged with the duty of the enforcement of laws to make an honest endeavor to enforce the prohibitory statute. But his dutv does not require of him that he shall devote ail of bis time or all of his energy to this one law. The time has come when the public officers and the police of thi3 city must pay some attention to many otber matters. There must be better pro tection from high crimes against life and property. The cleanliness and health of the city must be better guarded. The peace and good order of the city must be preserved. The youth of the city must be protected from the violence and as saults and nameless outrages which have be.en perpetrated in the lust few vears in our very midst. The city must be paci fied and tranquillized, and all classes of citizens must work in unison for its bet terment, and upbuilding and the conserva tion of its substantial interests. A city rent with strife and dissensions and men aced by mobs ajid cursed by fanaticism Is avoided by home builders and by en terprises seeking location. Moonshine and froth and fox-fire and fungus must give way to sober judgment and sound sense. Riots and rioters, would-be murderers and embryonic assassins must be sternly suppressed. The negligence and incompetency of the present city administration in failing to make any progress toward the perform ance of the command of the people de livered at the last city election to' pro cure a system of public waterworks must be sternly rebuked by relegating to pri vate life the candidate of lawlessness and violence, who is the champion of the waterworks ring of this city. With malice toward none" and with charity for all: with law, order, justice and peace inscribed upon our banners, we, the true law and order citizens of Topeka, appeal to all of our fellow citi zens of every party to be guided by rea son, toleration and hope, and to rebuka at the polls intolerance, lawlessness and crime, and to assure the equal, impartial and rational enforcement of all laws and promote the best interests of themselves and those who shall come after them, by rallying as one man to the support of th ticket by us this day nominated. THE VANISHING CAFU8. From the Arizona Republican. Twenty years ago, or even ten or five years since, the mustang and the jack rabbit were two of the commonest pests In the west. On every plain and mes.t in each spot where a particle of green feed found a livelihood. beneath the shel ter of a dusty sagebrush or a thornedj mesquite, the little, hardy, shaggy cay use and the long eared, alert and rapid jack rabbit browsed in peace and qui etude. A rider across the arid wilds of the great southwest could count, if he desired, hundreds and thousands of tha wiry, wild horses, and from every bush a jack hurried away from the path of the traveler, a gray streak, scurrying over the sand and gracefully sailing over obstructing brush the kangaroos of America. Now not a mustang can be found in a day's travel, or a week's, and only an infrequent jack breaks in on the mon otony of a desert ride. Ten years ago two hundred thousand mustangs were scatttred over the ranges in Texas. New Mexico and Arizona. As the bievcie grew in favor the horse decreased in value, and the mustang became an out cast and an outlaw. He intruded on the cattle ranges and was shot for his pains, the cowmen intent on the saving of feed for theii' stock. He ven tured.amid the sheep flocks and the coy otes feasted on his carcass. Everywhere he was a worthless reprobate, an inter loper, and valuable only as ft target for the revolver of the vaquero. By in bi'eedng the species grew smaller, and the mustang's finish was perceivable. The extremely low price of high grade eastern horse's put the cayuse out of service, and his only haven of refuge was among the Indians. The red men harbored him, fed him and tamedhim, and today on the reservations can be found the last of his race, disappearing as did the buffalo, but from a different cause. His extermination was rapii and somewhat of a mystery. Many stockmen attribute it merely to degen eration, but closer observers assert that many thousands of the ponies of the desert were surreptitiously converted into canned beef, and are even now be ing served over eastern tabls and army messes as a select product of the cattle range. Be that as it may, the mustang is no more, and has been replaced by a higher and finer breed of the equine species. Oyer plains where once roam ed the vast herds gf mustangs whi h by the way, were doubtless the offspring nf horses brought over soon after the Spanish invasion now- feed a"s Tire horseflesh as can be found anywhere in the world. Several years ago a grcyt importation of Oregon mares, the sturdy stock of the rough northwest, was sent south. At the same time a number ,if fine stal lions from Kentucky and Indiana were shipped to the southwest. The outerowth has been that Texas and Arizona are rapidly becoming known ns important factors in the horse trade. The ,ffppring has been a well proportioned, stroi.s- and extremely hardy horse. Over the rocky hills and the gravelly plains the horse of" the southwest has had hi?! travcli!- and developed his strength and capability for rough work. The dry, healthful climate has developed his lung power, and in the isoutn .Arncan war ijngitsn officers found the American (horse of 'the southwest the strongest, hardiest and fastest in the rough work of the Boer campaign. In such esteem, indeed, is hp held th'tt east ern buyers are scouring the horse ranges and paying the highest prices for him. while British and German armv buyers give their preference to him. In many localities cattlemen are evolving into hoi-semen, and the steady demand and high prices promise well for a business that iive vears ago was undreamed of. As to that other pest, the jack rabbit, his extinction is only a matter of no great length of time. Civilization is crowding him out, and the aborigine is slaughter ing him, and between the two fires he caiinot last long. The dogs of the settler3 are thinning him out, and jack hunting is a popular sport. A fleet pair of grey hounds in a half day's hunt have been known to kill half a hundred rabbits, and the Indians slaughter them at even a more rapid rate. Rabbit hunts among the redskins are frequent occurrences, and sometimes hundreds of reservation reds will participate in the chase. Such a sight is one never to be forgotten by an .easterner. Usually spreading .over a wide territory, the Indians gradually close Into a small circle, and as the affrighted jacks scurry back and forth they are either killed by the blunt arrows from the Indian bows or are finally rounded up in a compact mass, where they are club bed to death. Sometimes a different method is pursued, and with relays of horsemen the rabbits are run down and killed. In either case the result is the P.'CTO THE UIJIOII PACIFIC HAS A t"i' HOR1ZKD One-Way Excursion Rates to CALIFORNIA of 825.00. From Kaa3as City and Nebraska Points. Also to points in L iah.

Superin tendent Phillips, who recently came here from Terre Haute, Ind., introduced a new machine by which the girls could do twice the amount of work done former ly. The new machine has two neeoles instead of one. The girls did not object to this, thinking they would get as mu"h pay as before. The management claim ed that a girl's pay at the end of-the week would amount to as much as it had under the old system. Twelve girls who had made the test claim they ware urged to state that the plan suited them perfectly. This they refused to do and they called a meeting and ordered a strike.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1001. LOST 8100,030. How James A. Troutman .Hissed His Opportunity. Devoted Time to Politics and Suit Was Tostpoued. HE SPOILED IT ALL. CJd Court Would Have Decided Jlis Case Favorably. New Judges Decided Against Him, Old Ones For Him. In connection with the supreme court's decision on the De Boissieie Odd Fel lows orphans' home case, cornea out the interesting story of ho.v James A. Troutman, of Topeka. lost it. Trout man'3 hobby politics did it. The case has been dragging through, the slow processes of the courts for sev eral years. Had it been decided before the recent enlargement of the bench of the supreme court the recorded opinions of the present benchshow that Trout man's cause would have won. Justice Pollock, .ne of the new supreme judges, wrote the opinion which declares that title to the property does not revert to the claimant heir, although the provisions of the old man's deed of gift are not fol lowed out by the lodge that was maue beneficiary, because of Internal dissen sions of their own, or, in other words, "loUire polities." of the three old judges. Justice rnith agreed to (he opinion of Justice Pollock. Chief Justice Iw inter and Justice Johnston dissented. Had the decision of the JJe .Boissiere case been made; at tlx la.-t term, it v ill therefore le seen, a reversal of the present juJs ment would have been siveo. since the opinions would then have been two to on3. It now develops that the Ie Boissiere case was? docketed and would have been heard in December, when the court con sisted of but three justices, had it not heen for Troutman himself, and politics. lie requested a postponement. Because nt the demands urxui his time in the presidential campaign, he had not had tim to prepare his briefs The post ponement was allowed and. unconscious ly, Sir. Troutman missed his opportuni ty. The claim of the French heir was ass'srned to Mr. Troutman principally. with others. They worked up the case carefully and at great letv-T. ti. "Lodge politics" cost the odd Fellows a preat deal of trouble with the orphanaee. It is lost to tnem as far as absolute control soes, which is what they wanted. De Boissiere ftKed his deed of gift so that the grand l.Kitie cannot pet control of it, but the trustees con stitute an independent body and fill a vacancy by their own chuic- if a trus tee diets or resigns. "Troutman's politics" lost the De Boissiere, property to Troutman, as is xtmv shown. The He I'.oissiere orphanaee is running and will probably continue in opera tion as an independent inst.tution under the care of the trustees. It was twenty or thirty years apo tnat le .Boissiere started the place soniew her.-in the 70's. As well as siik culture he tried sugar raising and other agricultural works and with success, too.

MacArtbur Draws tha Line Be tween Militarism and Loyalty. Manila, March 12. Gen. MacArthur will review the Thirty-fifth volunteer regiment tomorrow. The regiment is about to sail for the United States. Replying to certain statements made in the senate at Washington, Gen. Mac Arthur says: "While the nation yields men abund antly for military service, our institu tion are safe, for a warlike spirit, which alone creates, civilizes and defends a country, is essential to national perpet uity, This does not mean an over whelming army, menacing liberty and peace, but the peoples hould foster in the public mind the memory of brilliant achievements. Warlike nations are not necessarily military nations. On the contrary, the more warlike the spirit, the less necessary it is to have a laige standing army, because the ablebodied men are willing to fight on the national demand." The Philippine commission, the fami lies of Col. Gardener, governor of Taya bas, and Major Johnson, governor of Romblon, and representatives of the federal party will sail on the transport Sumner for Luccna tomorrow. The insurgents have surrendered 500 rifles in the provinces of Pampanga.Bul acan and Bataan, during the last four weeks.

ONE BOY MUKDEKS ANOTHER A Childish Feud in Chicago Ends in Death. Chicago, March 12. Murder ended a boyish feud last night under the shad ows of St. Stanislaus church at Noble and Bradley streets. Bfteen-year-old Thomas Laezkowski was shot through the heart by a life-long playmate, Frank Wisniewski. A moment before the shooting Father Balsezinski espied Wisniewski in the hallway in the act of loading a revolver. "Stop," cried the priest; stop, I com mand you." While the priest in his flowing robes ran toward Wisniewski imploring with uplifted hands for peace, the boy fired. Half a hundred boys and girlg also witnessed the tragedy and saw the mur derer escape, which he did by flourishing his smoking pistol freely and keeping the crowd at bay. The crime occurred at the close of a meeting of the Podanie Przyjeie, or Mother of Poland society, of which the boys of St. Stanislaus have a branch. The murderer has not yet been arrested.

March 13. According to a special to the World from Philadelphia. Frederick Miller, a young man. is under arrest there on the charge of sending an infernal machine to Miss Florence Bank er, a young woman who Miller thought stood between him and the object of ha a flections. Miss Elsie West. The girls lived together. A package addressed in Miller's handwriting was received bv Miss Banker, but for some reason, being sus picious, she turned it over to the police. It was found to be filled with gunpowder which was to be isrnited bv the turning of a crank. The instructions on the in side were to turn a crank attached and "the music box would play." Some people can't stand prosperity, but tha majority don't get a chance to try. APPEAL TO THE KING. One Is to Be 31 ade in Behalf of Mrs. May brick. New Tork. March 12. A dispatch to the Herald from London says: Another attempt is soon to he made to obtain royal clemency for Mrs. May brick. The Baroness de Rouque, Mrs. May brick's mother, has been in London dur ing the last week in consultation with her legal advisers, for the purpose o framing a petition ta the crown for her daughter's pardon. It has been intimated that ,the pros pect of bringing about such a denoue ment has not diminished owing to the accession of his majesty, Edward VII, but c;uite the contrary. However that may be, that is to say, whatever views his majesty may per sonally entertain on the question of the guilt or punishment of Mrs. Maybrick, it is not the intention of her friends to conduct the latest campaign for her re leas? on similar lines to those formerjy adopted. One of the staunchest supporters of the Baroness de Rouque is Mr. J. U. Levy, the chairman of the Personal Bights association of the Nation Liberal club. He has had several conferences with Mr. Choate on the propriety of pre senting an address to the crown through the home office. Mr. Choate, while declining officially to take part in such proceedings has nevertheless assured the friends of Mrs. Maybrick that he will do everything he can in his private capacity to further their object. Another new departure in the latest ef fort to secure the liberty of Mrs. May brick is the discountenancing of newspa per advocacy of her petition. Mr. Levy said: "While we recognize and are grateful for the spirit actuating such support to our appeal, we cannot help feeling that its very earnestness may somehow tend to defeat its own object. "Under the circumstances we have deemed it best merely to plead the un fortunate lady's case as one meriting .royal clemency, and on this ground to petition the king to grant her pardon.'" Mr. Levy's appeal will probably be handed to the home secretary, Mr.Riteh ie, this week. SAMPSON DENIES. Rear Admiral Not Responsible For Publication of Morgan Letter. New Tork, March 12. A special to the Times from Newport, R. I., says: The following is the reply sent by Rear Ad miral Sampson to Secretary Long in re gard to the matter of publication of the letter sent by Gunner Morgan to the former: "United States Navy Tard, Boston, Feb. 2H. Sir: In replying to the de partment's letter of February 26th, I have to state that I did not give Gun ner Morgan or any one else a copy of my endorsement, nor did I permit any per son to see it except those persons em ployed in the preparation of official cor respondence in this office. "After having received my instructions in regard to the contents of the endorse ment, my aide, Lieut. E. L Bennett, dictated the endorsement to the second clerk, P. F. Walsh. The endorsement was then submitted to me for signature and was then sent with the original let ter through the mail clerk, Arthur F. Mackay. to the press to be. copied, the latter mailing the correspondence. This is the usual routine with official corre pondence of which 'the endorsement un der discussion was considered to be a part. "Both the letter and the endorsement were copied in the official press copy book, and in this shape were accessible to the above persons and Messenger Charles J. Thornton. The only other in mates of this office are Sergeant E. W. Thomas, U. S. M. C and Jonn Johnson, fireman, second class. It would be im possible for either of these two to con sult the press copy-book before any of the clerical force arrived in he morning. It is unlikely, however, that either of these two knew that the letter of en dorsement was in existence. "All the above mentioned people have been questioned and all denyemphatieal ly that they were responsible in any way for the publication of the endorsement. I have to add that I am in no way re sponsible for its publication. 1 "W. T. SAMPSON, "Rear Admiral, U. S. N." DON JAIME NEEDS REST. Says His Father Has Not Resigned in His Favor. Marseilles. March 12. Don Jaime, son of 'Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, arrived here today on board the steamer Laos, from China. He declared it was untrue that his father had abdicated his claims to the Spanish throne in favor of himself. He said he had come home, not to talk over -the political succession, but to rest from the fatigue of the campaign in the province of Pe Chi Li, where he had taken part in the capturing of the Pel Tang forts.. He considered it his duty, and a matter oT honor, not to in terfere in politics while a Russian of- fieer, but should his father die he would immediately resign and accept his fath er's political mission. He was greatly interested in the outcome of the tariff war thai" had so suddenly broken out between the United States and Russia. Naturally, he said, America regarded as a masked bounty the Russian system of aiding the exportation of the surplus beet sugar. TO EMPLOY JAPANESE. Colorado Fuel Company Will Have Oriental Miners.

J i LEAVING PORTO RICO. Thousands of Laborers Going to Hawaii Sugar Plantations. Correspondence of Associated Press.l San Juan, P. R., March 5. The surplus labor population of Porto Rico is being gradually but permanently lessened by emigration. During the past few months over 1.800 men, women and children have left for Hawaii and if the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' association does not cancel its order with the local agents, and if too much opposition is not raised here, about 18,000 more will be sent to the far away islands. The local agents have been considerably handicapped by the publication of numerous scare stories in the local Spanish papers. These stories are written and circulated by a certain element, by means of newspa pers and hand bills which have been dis tributed in the districts from which the emigrants are being recruited, the ignor ant would-be emigrants are led to be lieve that they are being sold into slav ery, and that their masters will subject them to all manner of torture and cruel ty on the sugar plantations of Hawaii. The last lot of Hawaii-tound emi grants sailed from Ponce on the 3rd. The ship intended to sail on the 2nd, but it was held up by the authorities on com plaints from parents that their children were being taken away without their consent. Dozens of women also com plained that their husbands were desert ing them. The ship was detained over night and several of those intending to sail on her were taken oft by the police. An unsuccessful attempt was made on the 2nd inst. to ship 400 emigrants to the Cuban iron mines from Ponce. The steamer sent hereby the SpanishAmeri can Iron company was an English freighter and licensed to carry passen gers. The boat was held up by the cus toms authorities, and the man in charge of the expedition dismissed the emi grants, saying that he was an irrespon sible employe and not obliged to pay the four days' pay which the n.en claimed was' due them while waiting to sail. He had entered into no contract with the people beyond a verbal promise to give them work at $1 a day. The disappointed men naturally felt that tiicy had a grievance and a riot was imminent.when they were quieted by the police. Seventy-five of them sailed the next morning on the "Californian" for New Orleans, en route to Hawaii. Other emigration agents are soliciting men to go- to Ecuador to work on the McDonald railroad contract. The Ja maican laborers which that company has taken to South America are reported to be troublesome and unsatisfactory and the contracting company is anxious to engage 3 000 Porto Ricans. The first expedition probably will sail about March 15. Small parties of fifty or 100 are continually leaving the island. The emigration-of her labor class may be considered a blessing for Porto Rico. The island is exceedingly over-populated and there is no work to be offered to the vast army of unemployed. Those who are left behind have more opportunity to better themselves, and those who emi grate.especially those who go to Hawaii, will be given permanent employment. They find the climate and stj-le of labor the same as that which they are accus tomed to here and they are given free fuel, rent and schooling for their chil dren. TO INSPECT MISSIONS. Presbyterian Secretary Enrouta to the Orient. San Francisco. March 12. Rev. Arthur 1m Browne, .secretary of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions, has arrived fro'n Now Tork en route to the Orient.

Japan. Corea. the Philippine islands. Siam, India and Syria, a considerable portion of Which will be. devoted to the work of straightening' out the tangled condition of missionary a-ffairs in China. He estimates the loss of the Presbyte rian missions in "China owing to the boxer outbreak at a quarter of a million dollars, and says that no extortionate de mands for the settlement of claims will be made. CARNEGIE DENIES. Steel King Says He Will Not Visit Europe With Morgan. New. Tork, March 12. Andrew Carnegie, in an interview, denies the report that he is going to accompany J.' P. Morgan to Europe. "I made my arrangements to go abroad some time ago." he said, "and I shall start within a few days, as soon as I complete several matters that occupy my attention just now. I am going to Europe purely for pleasure. "We have made no arrangements to go together, and 1 do not even know when Mr. Morgan is going to sail." A Brick Trust Forming. Zanesville. O., March 12.

Thwick's commission as a notary public in connection with the Issaunce of bogus naturalization papers to Jap anese. The commission to investigate the subject of Japanese and Chinese im migration will hold its first meeting Wednesday. CLEARS THE WAY. Senator Morgan's View of England's Rejection of the Treaty. New York, March 12. Senator John T. Morgan, chairman of the committee on international canals, in an interview with the Washington- correspondent of the Journal and Advertiser says: "If it is true, as I hope it is, that our canal rights in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, acquired last December by a com pact between the United States and those republics will not become the sub ject of negotiations on the initiative of Great Britain, we shall proceed quietly to construct, own ana control the eatiai. and Great Britain will be left to make her objections in such form as she may choose. "Those agreements were made delib erately and with full knowledge that they were in diametric opposition to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. They were based on the principles of and adopted almost literally the regulations orescrib- ed for the Suez canal by the treaty of Constantinople or isss. "The president recognized the right of Costa Rica and Nicaragua to qualify their agreement with the United States according to the plans and principles of tae treaty or Constantinople. "Great Britain and the United States had agreed to the same declaration in the Hay-Fauncefote treaty and, in con formity therewith, had agreed to silence any objection, that might arise out of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, to the exclusive ownership and control of the Nicaragua canal by the United States. "Great Britain did not urge any objec tions, but referred to them as beina- pos sible only, and consented to remove them. Her honorable tourse at that time may not continue to animate her con duct under the reign of King Edward but she must be aware that a covert threat of displeasure at our executing our agreements with Costa Rica and Nicaragua will lose its moral force and i.s power to alarm the United States in to another fit of paralysis. Those agree ments, upon which the whole question of. the canal now hinges will be carried out, in harmony with the undivided sen timent of the American people. "If the conclusion that Great Britain is alleged to have reached had been .noti fied to the senate ten days ago, the Hep burn bill would now be the 1 aw of i he land. All delay is to the advantage of Great Britain and to our terribledisad vantage but she has gained another year on us. i nope it win be the last. We contemplate no breach of the peace or of good feeling, because we shall do, un der our agreements with Costa Rica and Nicaragua, what we have agreed to do, as those agreements are in line with the treaty of Constantinople, to which all Europe assents."

Could snytftfeff gsrovo mors clearly Iha cf fissiavsssy of F7rsm Pitakham's FJfedsaino than tlto following strony statement of Craco Stansliury? Dear Mrs. Piukham I was a sufferer from female -weakness for about a year and a half. I have tried doctors and patent medicines, but nothing helped me. I underwent the horrors of local treatment, but re ceived no benefit. My ailment was pronounced ulceration of the womb. i sullered from intense pains in the womu ana ovaries, and the backache was dreadful. I had leucorrhoea in its worst form. Finally, I grew so weak I had to keep my bed. The pains were so hard as to almost cause spasms. Vhen I could endure the pains no longer, I was given morphine. My memory grew short and I pave up all hope of getting well. Thus I drag-jred along-. To please my sister I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham for advice, ller answer came, but meantime I was taken worse and was under the doctor's care for a while. After reading Mrs, Pinkham's letter, I con cluded to try her medicine. -After taking- two bottles I felt much better; but after using six bottles I was cured. All of my friends think my cure almost miraculous. I thank you very much for your timely advice and wish you prosperity in your noble work, for surely it is a blessimy to broken-down women.
