The lower house of the state legislature today adopted a resolution requesting the president of th Vnited States to reward General Funston in a manner that will fully recognize his great and meritorious cervices in capturing Aguinaldo. EVERT INCH A HERO. Gen. Joe Wheeler and Lieut. Gilmore in Praise of Funston. New York, March 29. Discussing the capture of Aguinaldo by General Funs ton. General Joseph Wheeler said: "I regard General Funston as a brave and intrepid general. I know him in timately both on and off the field. "He is the man fondest of adventure that I have ever known. T regard his capture of Aguinaldo as cn of the bravest acts since the present war began. 'For months the hostile force in the Philippines has been the fragments of the broken up army, together with the banditti. With the aid of the natives we car hunt down this lawless people and then I believe the islands will be com paratively peacefui. "I am confident Americans wdl! find excellent opportunities in their new pos sessions and I think the time is not far d. siant when our force of American troops can be reduced very materially, ros'-ibly down to lO.Orn) men. "I mention this number with regard to the necessities in the Philippines alone, rut the conditions in China may make it advisable for us to hold a larser force in the far east, and In that event Ma nila and vicinity would be a convenient place for them to be stationed," Lieutenant J. C. Gilrnore. who spent nine months as a prisoner of the Fili pinos, was seen on the receiving ship Franklin at the navy yard. Ke said: "I. like all other Americans, rejoice over the capture of Aguinaldo. General Funston was the man to do the trick if auj- man could have dona It. and he de serves all the credit that is due him. I was with Aguinaldo's family for some time. They impressed me as being above the ordinary in intelligence. You see what a sharp fellow 'Aggy' is to have eluded capture all of this time. General Funston ia a hero, every inch of him." PETTIGREW JOINS IN. Accords Full Measure of Glory and Honor to Funston. New York, March 29. Ex-Senator R. F. Petfcigrew of South Dakota, said in an interview respecting Aguinaldo's capture: "I don't know that the capture of Aguinaldo will terminate the war in the Philippines. I am not sufficiently ac quainted with the Malay race to speak of their tenacity. The captuie of George Washington would not have ended the American Revolution. "Others would have been found to take his place. With the Filipinos it may be different. The capture of Agui naldo may prove a very good thing for his people. "I consider our treatment of the Fili pinos constitutes one of the blackest pages in American history. Aguinaldo was one of our allies and his people should have been given their indepen dence when the Americans took posses sion of the islands. "General Funs" n's act was a brave and risky one, ...,d i believe it was a bona fide undertaking, for the success of which Fuston should be well rewarded. "I suppose Aguinaldo wil! be treated as a prisoner of war and it will not sur prise me to see the day when the Ameri can people will recognize his true worth and treat him accordingly." WILL END THE WAR. Admiral Dewey's Opinion of the Re sult of Funston's Work. New York. March 29. Admiral Dewey discussing the capture of Aguinaldo said "Looking over the events of the past two years. I am sometimes impressed with the idea that possibly the trouble with the Filipinos might have been avoided but when 1 say that I say it be cause hindsight is a great deal better than foresight. I have no criticism for any one, but it can be seen now how the Americans who first went there hurt the pride of the Filipinos. If we had made a greater effort to flatter them it is possible the thing would have gone more smoothly, but I wish to say that at the beginning I don't believe Aguinaldo had any idea of independence at all. They simply hated the Spaniards. They hated them, I say, and they wanted to get rid of them in any way possible. They looked upon us as their deliverers and they did everything we told them to. Afterwards I think it was simply a case of success turning a man's head in case of Aguinaldo. I don't believe at first he had any idea of attempting to set up an independent republic. As to the mat ter of our relations with the Filipinos, the history has never yet been written. I have all the letters and documents per taining to it and I expect some day to write the history of the affair. .When all of the documents are published it will be perfectly clear that no obligation rested upon the American forces to treat the Filipinos as allies. "Aguinaldo was always as I said, a most amiable man, and personally I would not wish him the slightest harm, but I believe, as I said, that his cap ture means the end of organized resist ance." PROUD DAY FOR 10 LA. Gen. Funston's Father Makes a Speech to His Neighbors. Iola, Kan., March 29. All day yester day the Funston home was the mecca of the neighbors and last night there was a spontaneous movement of several hun dred Iola people to run over and be neighborly. The band was taken along and with cheers and music lola's joy was express ed. Mr. Funston responded to a call for a speech. He said: "This is the proudest day in the lives of Mrs. Funston and myself. My own life I do not consider to have been with out its successes but toward the evening of life no greater joy comes to a parent than honor for his child. I will say that Fred was always a good boy, not exact ly softer the pattern of my own making in minor matters, but there was never anything dishonorable in hia character. He did not aim at notoriety, but to ac complish something worthy in the world and the success which has crowned his efforts I think should be a lesson to young men. This day is doubly joyous to his mother and myself. Your presence and the appreciation of our boy on the part of the state and nation is joy to us and an additional source of gratification is that the good news came on the fifty eighth birthday of his little mother here There were cheers for the brave little mother and the proud father. The crowd Fang "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner" before departing for their homes. CHANGE OF PLAN Regarding the Philippines May Re sult From Capture of Aguinaldo. New York, March 29. A special to the Journal of Commerce from. Washington says: The capture of Aguinaldo is generally regarded at the war department and by administration leaders as putting an end to organized rebellion against the Uniied Stages in the Philippines. The question is soon likely to be tak?n up whether the control of business in the dependencies shall not be brought under the head of a single department, equipped with experts capable of giving intelligent study and their entire time to reforms in the administration, the finan ces, the monetary system and the judic iary of all the islands acquired from Spain. This work is now scattered among several independent heads, without be ing the exclusive work of any depart ment. Secretary Root is giving a great amcunt of attention to the progress of the military campaign in the Philipplres under the war department, and at the same time is studying measures to im prove the civil condition of the island. He also has practical charge of Cuba whiie the American occupation contin ues Tnere are several very important sub jects in relation to the Philippines which have been held in abeyance pending the restoration of orderly government. Soir.e of 'hem almost require specific legisla tion by congress in order to be settled in a permanent and satisfactory manner, bui it is the intention of the administra tion to take the best action possible un der the blanket authority conferred by the Spooner amendment to the army ap prrpriation bill. One of these matters is th,? reform of the coinage which is caus ing no end of disturbance at Manila. The supply of silver In the country began to disappear when large amounts of money were required for the operations of the united forces of the powers in China. The result was t ra'se the Mexican sil ver dollars, forming the bulk of the cur rency, to a higher value than that as sig;d them in American gold and to cause their free exportation, against the protests of the army ofiicers and some of the members of the Taft commission. Th? grant of franchises for the develop ment of the resounre3 of the islands ar.d the construction of railways are also im portant subjects which will soon be tak en up. Action on these matters has been greatly fettered by the amendment which Senator Hoar offered to the army bill nullifying such franchises after a year, but the authority given to grar.t them where the interests of the islands will suffer if they are, not granted, may justify some action by the administra tion, and by the new civil government to put the Philippines upon the basis of other civilized countries. The adr.iiiKsiiru.'i n will endeavor to coilrct data before the opening of anotn er session of congress which will explain all the legislation required. Expert a d vice is likely to be sought, which will enable congress to act promptly and effi ciently when such matters are finally taken up. URGED TOWARD PEACE. Aguinaldo Advised by His Former Cabinet Members. Manila, March 29. Aguinaldo today conferred in, the Tagalog language at the Malacanang palace, with several former members of his cabinet and other prom inent Filipinos, whom he had asked to see They explained to him the hope lessness of the insurgent cause and ad vised him to use his influence to estab lish peace and for the recognition of An -riean sovereignty. The result of the conferences is as yet unknown. The first execution in Manila under American rule took place today at Fort Maiate, where five natives were hanged for the murder of Archibald Wilson, an Englishman, superintendent of the wa ters orks. The mouve for the muraer was robbery. Twelve thousand Filipinos have taken the oath of allegiance to the United Stares at San Vincento, South Iioeos pro vince. CONGRESSMAN LONG CALLS. Discusses Reward of Funston With Government Officials. Washington, March 29. Representative Long (Kan.) was at the war department and discussed with officials the matter of adequately rewarding General Funston for the capture of Aguinaldo". Mr. Long says that about six weeks ago the Kansas delegation called upon Secretary Root and the president and recommended General Funston for promotion and asked that he be given some recognition for past serv ices. It was said that there was no piace for General Funston except in one of tho staff departments, unless he was made a brigadier general, and it was said that he could not expect such promotion as that. Th action of the delegation was pureiy voluntary. a General Funston had made no application to them, nor had he made any request at th war department for recognition. NOT THE GENERAL. Filipino Agent in Paris Says the Man Captured Is Not Aguinaldo. Paris, March 29. An interview with Regidor Jubado, who claims to be the Filipino agent in Europe, is published here. He says he has received the fol lowing cablegram from New York: "Ac cording to precise information the man captured is not President Emilio Agui naldo but Baldomero Aguinaldo, chief of the general staff and Emilio's cousin." BRITISH COMMENT. London Newspapers Compare Fun ston With Their Own Generals. London, March 29. The morning papers publish long telegrams describ ing the capture of Aguinaldo, with sketches of his career and editorials congratulating the United States upon the success of General Funston's bril liant ruse. AH recognize that he risked his life in the attempt, and all express the opinion that the capture will have a great effect in shortening the Filipino resistance. In this connection some of the ediJ torials express regret that General De Wet. who is described .as "Riving England equal trouble," is still at large in South Africa. Hazzards Were From Washington. Tacoma, Wash., March 29. Both Cap tain Russell T. Hazzard and Lieutenant Oliver Hazzard are Tacoma boys. They enlisted in Company M, of the First Washington volunteers. Captain Haz zard going with the company as second lieutenant and Lieutenant Hazzard as a private. When the Washington regi ment was ordered home both remained in the service, joining the Eleventh cav alry. Rejoicing in Sulo. Jolo, Island of Sulu, March 29. The news of the capture of Aguinaldo was received here with great gratification by the members of the commission and the United States troops. The rejoicing was increased by a report of the sur render of Capistrano in northern Min danao. DEAL IS CLOSED. Consolidation of GreatNorthern, "Q" and No. Pac, Settled. Boston, March 29. The proposed con solidation of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy Raiiroad company with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads has reached a final stage. The long delayed plan, it is said, is ready for submission to the Chicago, Burlington Quincy stockholders. The secret con ference of President James J. Hill of the Great Northern. Charles Fl. Perkins, chairman of the Burlington board of di rectors and ex-Senator Wolcott of Colo rado at the Victoria hotel in this city on Wednesday is believed to have settled the question. The plan provides. It is said, for the purchase of C. B. Q. bonds at 187 in per cent guaranteed bonds, or in ISO in cash. It is not known whether the proposition contained a guarantee to the stockholders of the proposed 7 per cent. The large C. B. Q. stockholders do not manifest pleasure over the rumors of a deal. The plans were laid some time ago. Wednesday's -conference was prolonged and at its close President Hill and Sen ator Wolcott hurriedly departed for the west. Mr. Wolcott had been in Boston since March 17, talking over matters per taining to the consolidation. Weather Indications. Chicago, March 29. Forecast for Kan sas: Probably rain or snow tonight and Saturday, increasing easterly winds. GOING TO PIECES. Disintegration of the Filipino Insurrection Accelerated. Reports of Surrender Coming From All Directions. TROUBLE IN MINDANAO Is Reported at an End by Gen. MacArthur. Kansas Delegation in Congress Urges the President To Recognize Funston's Service With Brigadier's Commission. Washington, March 29. Another im portant dispatch was received at the war department today from Genetal MacArthur. at Manila, dated today. It did not refer to Aguinaldo or Funston, but in the opinion of the war depart ment officials it went far to support the prediction made by General MacAithur in yesterday's dispatch relating to those two leaders, to the effect that the end of the rebellion is near at hand. This v LIEUT. BURTON G. MITHCHELL. Of Kansas, Who Was With Funston. dispatch chronicles the surrender of a considerable additional number of reb els and military arms, and the impor tant feature of it is that the surrender marks the complete stamping out of the insurrection in the island of Mindanao, which is next to Luzon the largest isl and in the group. The dispatch is as follows: "Manila, March 28. Brig. Gen. Wm. A. Kolb reports surrender at Sumulao, Mindanao, nine officers, 160 men, 187 rifles, SO shotguns, Capistrano's com mand. This ends trouble in Mindanao as far as Filipinos are concerned. "Brig. Gen. Kobert P. Hughes re ports Alikpali and Rise, 31 guns, sur rendered to Capt. David G. Shanks, Eighteenth infantry, at Majnburao; 206 guns, Fulton's command, surrendered to Lieut. Col. Wm. S. Scott, Forty-fourth United States volunteers. "MAC ARTHUR." KANSAS DELEGATION ACTS. Will Urge the President to MakeFon ston a Brigadier. Washington, March 29. The Kansas congressional delegation has decided to urge the president to appoint General Funston a brigadier general in the reg ular army as a reward for his daring capture of Aguinaldo. This afternoon Senator Burton and Representatives Long and Curtis, the only members of the delegation in the city, will call upon the president for that purpose. The members of the Kansas delegation do to ?o 30 AO so Route of General Funston vr. t s ss o -oh f I :'",'5 il H P J- 3 U, fe 7 ?e' i, )rv VT: 4 1 ECJA '-oc ojf V ir F- v. v F z 3 fl; f CO J not consider that a brigadier general ship would be a too great reward for Funston's exploit, and point to General MacArthur's recommendation that he be appointed to that grade as a com plete demonstration of the great serv ice he has rendered to the government. They are exceedingly warm in their praise of General MacArthur for giving the entire credit of the expedition to Funston. In view of his recommenda tion they do not believe that the presi dent will hesitate to bestow upon the gallant Kansan the star he has won. They would not be surprised, however, if considerable opposition to giving Funston a brigadier generalship should develop at the war department. There is no disposition in the regular estab lishment to belittle General Funston's exploit, especially since the receipt of General MacArthur's dispatch giving full credit to Funston, but there would naturally be opposition there to jump ing a volunteer officer, 35 years of age. into the grade of brigadier general, and the Kansas delegation recognizes this fact. IS LIVELY NOW. Contest For Mayor Is Causing Fixers Much Worry. The city "campaign is now hot under the collar. The Republican city central committee is getting frantic in its efforts to get out a big crowd tonight and the opposition is trying" to counteract the ef fect of the rally at the Auditorium by a meeting at the Democratic Flambeau club headquarters, with David Overmyer as tne center ot attraction. The Renublican committee is worried because they fear they will not be ablo to fill the Auditorium, and the Democratic committee pretends to be bothered be cause the room they will use is not large enough for the crowd which they expect will attend. The Republican city committee mem bers are telling their friends that the op position is holding meetings every night in out of the way places in order to keep the Republicans from catching onto the fact that they are doing any work, and they are urging lukewarm Republi cans to get out and hustle in order to counteract the effect of the meetings which are being held on the quiet. W. S. Fulton, the champion hustler of the Re publican committee, was reliably inform ed that the Democrats held a meeting in the hay loft of Hank Lindsay's barn, aM he at once called the Republican commit tee together to ee what they could do to counteract the effect of the meeting. The Republican committee quit working in the city departments long enough to attend the special meeting. After a good deal of talk they decided that the real purpose of the opposition meeting was to find out how many Russian women could vote, but as they had settled that ques tion with the aid of Attorney General Godard, they adjourned without adopting any resolutions and went back to work for the city. It keeps the managers on both sides busy whispering to their a-ssistants and figuring on the probable outcome of the election. The Republican managers pre tend to be more confident than ever that they will have at least 2.500 majority for Hughes and they say they are certain of every councilman except Griggs in thd Second. They are fearful that he may lose by a small majority. The opposition forces claim that they will elect their man in the Second wTaxd a.nd they say that Hughes will not have 1.500 majority in the city. Two of tin Democrats offered to bet on that proposi tion this morning, but there were no tak ers. The men who are betting are willing to bet that the Republican tiefeet. except ing Hughes, will be elected by 3.000. Th Democrats and other opposition workers refuse to take the bet. The party lash is now being applied most vigorously on the Republican side, but it is having little effect. Party lines are never closely drawn in city election., and this is no exception. A queer condi tion is presented in that the people that bolted Galen Nichols and Judge Hazen are now urging the faction which re mained' loyal to the ticket not to bolt. It is a situation in partisan politics which is at least funny and which shows how ludi crous it may become. The Parker people know that they must win through Repub lican votes and the Hughes people realize the same fact hence the free use of the party lash. Croker in Excellent Health. New Tork, March 29. John P. Andrews of London, who has been interested with Richard Croker in business enterprises abroad, was a passenger on the Teutonic, just arrived. Mr. Andrews saw Mr. Cro. ker at the Hotel Cecil in Ixjndon last week. lie says that the Tammany chief tain is in excellent health. In fact, he was never better. In London Mr. Croker was joined by his son, Herbert, who lxa3 fully recovered from the effects of tho injuries he sustained on shipboard. o 7o eo so ioo up ig iv to Capture Aguinaldo. TWO TON'S OF FLAGS Will Wave From F"orto Rico School Souses on July 4th. Chicago, March 29. The Tribune says: American flags nearly two tons of them have been contracted for in Chicago, with "rush orders" that on July 4 the red, white and blue may flutter from every school house in Porto Rico, teach ing the lesson of independence day to young and old alike in the island. The plans of the government are that by the end of the year the flag wiil be as familiar a sight in the towns and vil lages of the Philipipnes. The order of the government calls ror flags of all sizes small ones that the school children can wave from windows or carry through the streets and into their homes and large flags to float from flagstaffs and building roofs over the head of marching troops and citizens on the day they are learning to celebrate. Each island prototype of the little school house will have a complete outfit of the national flag. There will be flags for the pupils, a flag to drape above the teacher's desk and a flag to flutter over the schoolhouse yard. The purpose of the government at Washington in giving the order is to se cure sufficient flags to supplyevery point on the island devote to educational pur poses, that patriotism may be instilled in the minds of the pupils by sight as well as by teaching. The plan is simply carrying out one inaugurated in the United States several years ago of flying the American flag from every schoolhouse throughout the land during class hours. Teachers from Porto Rico who visited Washington and the other eastern cities last fall were all advocates of the plan to make the flag a familiar sight in the island. They asserted that the moral effect would be helpful and arouse a patriotic enthusiasm in the minds of the children. Similar arrangements, it is understood, are under way for the placing of a large order of flags for the Philippines. TOUR A FAILURE. Mrs.Nation Continues to Attract Only Small Audiences. Cincinnati, O., March 29. Mrs. Na tion lectured at Music hall last night before a small audience. She spoke about her experience in Kansas and what she had witnessed in her various slumming toura in this and other cities. She was listened to with great interest, but there was no enthusiasm displayed by the audience. She will leave for Terre Haute today. Indianapolis, Ind., March 29. A lec ture by Mrs. Nation is advertised here for Sunday night to which an admission will be charged. At a meeting of the organized temperance societies of the city held today it was decided not to give Mrs. Nation any official recognition while she is in the city. It was stated by the officers and ministers present that while Mrs. Nation was admired and the principles for which she so zealously fought were approved by the temper ance workers of the city, still the tem perance movement here would oppose the desecration of the Sabbath by a paid lecture. TOPEKA AND LAWRENCE These Are the Kansas Towns That Will See the President. Washington, March 29. The itinerary of the presidential party through the state of Washington is practically com plete according to Representative Jones of that state. It is as follows: The president will leave Portland, Ore., at 10 a. m. Thursday, May 23, and enter Washington by way of Olympia where he will stop half an hour. He will reach Tacoma in the afternoon and spend the night there. On Friday he will traverse Puget Sound by boat, stopping at Kverett and several other places en route. i On Saturday the party will cross the mountains with brief stops at Spokane and Monday the party will leave for Montana. The president's trip through Kansas will include stops at Topeka and Lawrence. CHINA WILL SIGN. Russia Is Not Showing Any Worry About the Matter. St. Petersburg, March 23. It is probable that the Russo-Chinese Man churian treaty will not be signed before Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. The delay is due to the dilatoriness of the Chinese government or to the natural difficulties of communication between the Chinese court, Pekin and St. Peters burg. It is not "believed that the indisposi tion of Tang Yu, the Chinese minister tt St. Petersburg, will prevent him from going to the foreign office when invited to do so. i BIDS NOT OPENED. Executive Mansion Question Must Wait For Other Things. In, view of the election for railrop.d commissioners before the executive coun cil and the arduous nature of the task, consideration of the bids on the gov ernor's mansion and state house heating and lighting plant is deferred again. They were not opened this morning, but were laid aside until the railroad board Is elected. Within a limit this is indefinite. The railroad law prescribes that the railro-ad board shall be elected by April L That gives today and tomorrow in which to compass the election. 1 The way the members of the council have already locked horns over the election indicates that both days may be required to iron things out. It has taken two and three days in previous instances to elect a board by the council" and this time promises to. be no exception. 0XF0KD THE FAVORITE. Bark Blues Expected to Win in Eoat Race With Cambridge. London, March 29. Oxford and Cam bridge crews have finished their practice. The weather was milder today and both crews confined themselves to paddling with a couple. of sharp bursts. The prospects for the annual boat race to morrow are fine weather and smooth water. The consensus of opinion favors the dark hlues (Oxford.) SCATTERWILDLY. Executive Council Takes 25 IJal lots for Coumiissiouer. State Ofiicers Nearly All llaTe Candidates of Their Own. MIL 1INDLAY GETS TWO Grimes and Nelson Cast Their Yotes For Jiini. Initial Session Not Regarded Seriously by the Knowing. A3 an exciting start to the election of a board of railroad commissioners thtj executive council took twenty-five bal lots this morning, playing their favor ites at the opening. George Findlay, of this city, was the only candidate that received more than one vote in all thcKe ballots. The knowing' ones say that rot a single winner is represented in tba original balloting. The first ballot brought out the fol lowing array and votes: Governor Stanley voted for Frel Richter, of Wichita. Attorney General Godard voted for A D. Walker, of llolton. Treasurer Grimes voted for Georga Findlay. State Superintendent Nelson voted for George Findlay. Auditor Cole voted for C. A. McNeill, of Columbus. Secretary of State Clark voted tot David Crawford, of Wyandotte. Before the balloting began Governor Stanley announced that it was the duty of the council to elec t three railroad commissioners one for a term of thre years, one for a term of two years, axuJ one for a term of one year. At the suggestion of Attorney General Godard, the council decided to fill tin? three-year term first. The balloting then proceeded in the order given above. It was an exhibition of grand-stan l work. They began voting a Republican, commissioner into the three-year place, which it has been all along suppose! would be given to the Democratic com missioner on the theory that with th shorter terms given to the Republican members would insure them a re-election, and thus they would in time pi cure four and five years respectively in ofiice. It is now said that tiie two-year term will be given to the Democrat. State Treasurer Grimes and Frank Nelson voted together from the first for George Findlay. This was the only alliance apparent at the opening. At the twentieth ballot. George Clark produced cigars and settled baj k in his1 seat. Grant-like, to fight it out on his line if it takes all summer. Auditor Cole created a stir to relievo the tension at the twenty-second ballot. "I want to say something right her!." said he. The spectators thought there was going to be a break of the dead lock. But Cole simply wanted to pass a motion to prohibit smoking. This" wa not done. Neither was there a move to break the deadlock. The council took a recess after half an hour of balloting until 2 o'clock. Neither Finney nor Morse were na.m.'I in the original ballot, and one or hotn of them are picked for Republican win ners.

Couldn't Afford to Pay 10,000 For a Ilider For Season. Fears Toor Boy Up Would Jeop ardize Frieuds'Chances. Chicago. HI., March 29. Charles Head Fmith's Inability to get a. good Jockey to ride Garry Hermann Is given aa the chief reason for the snle of the great colt to f-. 3. Brown, the llttsburg manufacturer. Hermann was sold for a. sum a. little above S." but the exact figures were not given out. Charley Hughes, the trainer at Churchill downs, .Louisville, turned the colt over to Bob Tucker yes. terriay and a. check for the full amount was received by tannin, bo the deal is closed and Smith Is without a single rep resentative on the turf. It was an no u rued yesterday that Don aid limn, iirmanns sole remaining nmte. had ln sold last week, ilia Ex eiit'in y am! Jjutenant Gibson, which re the oiii.r two horses in Smith's sta hie last year, tiled' last winter. They broke dow n, and would have been of lit tle value except in the stud. Whether the board of trade man will invest in .thnroiL:!ttred.i in the future is an unser ved ina'ter. For the present he is not Sivin'- tfie question any consideration i here were several reasoris for my ledring t, sell Garry Hermann," said ismuh vesterdav. "In the tirst ruace. pood jockey would have cost me at least a ear. and with but one nor this wouM have been too great an ex-f-Jp.sr. The oilier expenses of keeping Jrm;inn would have been nearly as frrejit lts though I would have had a half cozen horses in my string, so on the Cjuestion of expense it is bst that I dis r- srd of him. Were I a Belmont or r "Vhitney it would have been a different matter, but 1 must atttnd to my busi- ress aiiairs at ail tinier and have no leisure to devote to horses. "Last year I had the favorite In the .American Lerby and lost. My friends l.ere backed tile horse Hud were disap- l-omteu ai'uic: wnn mvseit. t-tiouid uarrv iiermann be fit f,-r tiie race, but have a p.w.r b-y up. the chances of the colt xnlcht be jeopardised, and I would be sub jected to criticism. This would be the j.atural result, ami the easiest way to bvia;e such a matter wad to dispose of tae I.siiir-MIH i.oivn colt. "I bought Harry of J. J. Marklein last Ar-rll. payins" for him. He was F'imi'l as a ii"!inr, nnj is till the best coil I ever owned. He wintered well and t the present time is in tiie best of con dition. He ha-s a eood pajt and is round- o out Into a big, etroug xeilow with plenty of speed. "As for the fut'ire, I nm not decided. The truth Is that I take such an interest in my colts that I am prone to neglect my business lor them, and that is not ood policy. Should I see some sood colt that was offered to me at a bargain I miprht invest. I am not celling out be cause T have lost interest in turf matters, 1 i.'t because it was not advisable to keeo the colt, and that without a good Jockey to rioe. My business demands my closest pttention, so 1 am, now free to attend eoit-ly to it-" CHICAGO NATIONAL CLUB. President Hart Makes Public List of His Players For New Season. Chicago, March 29.

It is understood that the deal was made a. few days ago, the local rarti- s turning over their contract with Husting to the Boston club. The contract was not a league document, but b personal contract with. Quinn and Havenor. "Pink" Hawley. the crack twirler -who was in the National league for many jears, lias accepted terms with the Mil waukee club and he will most likely don a Milwaukee uniform this season. Hawley, who was dubbed by Anson as the man with the $10,000 arm but a poor head, has been in the National league about eight years. He has pitched for Cincinnati. Pittsburg and New York, and has always been con fi i red one of the leading twlrlers- In the big It-ague. He has great sperd and fine curves, and should prove a valuable ad dition to the local pitching- corps. "With Hawley, Reidy. Garvin, I'owling and Kettger. Milwaukee undoubtedly has the strongest pitching array in the league. WILL NOT PLAY QUAKERS. Hawkeyea "Want Jumper L K. Baxter for Coach of Track Team. Philadelphia, March 2!. Pennsylva nia will not play football this season wi'h the University of Iowa.

Baxter, the famous Pennsylvania hlch Jumper, fot coach of her track team. Baxter has been crfered. it Is sajd. a place in the law faculty at Iowa as an extra inducement to accept the athletic work. The of'er was made by Iowa's athletic director.

He is quite con fident that he will succeed In getting- a license abroad when he gets a. chance to plead his own case before the stew ards of the English Jockey club. "Such a sentence was certainly un just," declared the dapper little rider. "Put I think it will be reversed when I put In a defense. At the present time I feel like one who has been condemned to hang before being- tried. When I left England I had not the faintest idea such action would be taken, and confess I was shocked when I first heard it- "lt is not true that I shall take any horses over with me when. I sail. I am going solely for the purpose of getting a license and riding. Unless I can get a good contract I shall not tie up with anyone and may come back here to ride before the season is over.'1 ERNE MAY HAVE A CHANCE. Want to Meet McGovern at Light Weight Limit Pan Francisco. March 29. There Is now a prospect that Terry McGovern will fight here twice.

Krne is here now at the Ingleside road house, where he is keeping to himself as much as possible. Krne says that he is in splendid condition, and hopes the ef forts of the Twentieth Century club look ing to a match for him with the "Brook lyn Terror" will be successful. He wants to fight Terry at 1S3 pounds. As Terry fought Cans at 133 pounds. F.rne is of the opinion that McGovern could give him a chance at 133. Krne says that any poor showing he might have made was owing to the fact that in their previous meet ing lie had to give away his strength to come down to a lower weight than 133 pounds. The substitution of Gardner for Sullivan in the April tight has been topic much discussed in local sporting circles. Many of the rlnggoers appear to be dissatisfied with the selection of Gard ner. They look upon him as a "has-been whose hands have given out It is true, they say. Oscar gave Terr a hard fight and actually knocked down the Zirooklyn whirl wdnd. but this is som years ago. Since then Gardner has been defeated several times. BLACKBURN POSTS A FORFEIT. Gloucester Skipper Anxious For Race Across the Atlantic. Boston. March 2!.

TIIE SEASON OPENED. Santa Fe Will Spend Four Mil lion Dollars This Year. Sine Hundred Miles of Wire Will Be Strung. With the opening of the spring season conies renewed activity In railroad ex tension and the repair of tracks, bridges and buildings. In the touthwest, the season for this kind of work opened sev eral months ago when the Rock Isla-id began the construction of a long exten sion from Liberal, Kan., to White Oaks, N. M. A short stretch of the track fur thl.5 new line ha3 been laid, but lately grading alone has been going on. The nature of the country has been such as to lender this slow and difficult. The track laying which has been delayed so long will probably be renewed next week. It is Interesting to note that this lirwj wher completed is expected to be the longest straight piece of track in the country. On the divisions between Fair- bury and Omaha, Neb., and in Coloraao live concrete gangs of about 20 men each have been started to repairing the foundation work of bridges. Concrete is to form the foundation and for putting this in these gangs are at work. A great many steel bridges no doubt will rep ace the wooden ones, and the big briise across the Platte river in Ne braska is to receive some repairs. This bridge has rested upon piling, the nature of the river bed making it impossible to build piers; and it is this part which will be repaired. Yv ith the Santa Fe four million dollars is lhe sum that will go to improve ment of lines. This is a million more than was given to the purpose last year. Reduction of grades and straightening the line on the Emporia cutoff between. Holi.'day Junction and Kmporia Junction will be an important Item. The work was begun the forepart of the winter, but the freight traffic of the road grew, tourist and colonist rates and other in ducements swelled the volume of pas senger travel until every piece of the mo tive power on the system had to be pressed into service for moving the bus iness. This took away the engines which, had been used on the construction trains and the work was stopped indefinitely. Aflrr this is completed other reduction of grades and elimination of curves wii! be undertaken Besides the great sum to be spent for new shops in Topeka terminals at Kansas City will be arranged and a new freight depot will bp bunt there. Guthrie and Oklahoma City will get new passenger depots, and at Raton, N M., will be built a new station and eat ing house combined. Of course there yv'! be other numerous small depots azid buildings of different kinds. Furing the year 900 miles of telegraph wire will be strung over Santa Fe poles. This will be principally from Albuquer que N. M., west to San Francisco aj d alopg branch lines, besides quite a dis tance in Texas. Part of thi3 will be cop per wire, the rest iron. The contract ;or the wire calls for its delivery so th the work of stringing it may be begun at least by April 15. The Santa Fe wiii be leady by that time to start seveial gangs at different points and to rush the work at the rate of about 40 miles p- day. The increase cf telegraph busin-iss on tnis part of the Santa Fe system has rendered this necessary. Besides, a lot of rrpairtng will be done along the San ta Fe telegraph lines in Kansas before the season closes. These railroad improvements are of much importance and mean a great deal not only to the roads themselves but to the people of the country generally.

Miller, an employe of the Penn sylvania railroad, has invented a device that is intended to solve the smoke and cinder problem of railway trains. The Invention consists of a pipe connection with the smokestack of the locomotive running back over the entire passenger train, the sections being connected on the same principle as the air brake. The average diameter of an engine smoke stack is fourteen inches, and the pipe that will run from it over the train will be of the same .diameter. The smoke In this way is passed over the entire train and has escapes on both sides of the rear coacn at the bottom. There will be an air vent in the smokestack. The device is to serve as a spark arrest er, smoke consumer and a distributor of cinders along the roadbed. E. P.

Constable Scott stored the contraband goods in the room In the Hague block formerly oc cupied by Justice Webb. He locked the door and put the key in his pocket un der the delusion that the evidence in this case was sure and certain. He then walked away contented. Yesterday he thought he- would just look in to see that everything was se cure and was surprised to fjnd one of the bottles broken. He reported the matter to County Attorney Torrance, who advised him for fear of burglars and in the interest of good government to take samples of the goods and lock them in somebody's vault. Acting on the suggestion and taking along two good men as witnesses, Mr. Scott entered the room where the spirits used to be and proceeded to tap the keg. It contained Walnut river water. With a look of blank dismay fast settling on his countenance he quickly grabbed up a bottle of rock and rye; and opened it with the dexterity of an expert. The bottle contained water. All the others contained the same innocent fluid. A CONVICT SUICIDES. Life Prisoner, Taylor Cock, Ends His Life in Lansing Prison. Leavenworth, Kas., March 29.

Collector of the Port tratton has received an opin ion from Attorney General Griggs AN EASY WAY To Keep Well. It is easy to keep well if we -would only observe each day a few simple rules of heaith. The ii 11 important thing is to keep the Btomac'h right, and to do this it is not necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of far-3. Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and a feel ir.gr that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided. Prof. Wieche.ld gives pretty pood ad vice on this subject; he says: "I am 63 years ol 1 and have never had a serious illness, and at the same time my life fas beer, largely an indoor one. but I early discovered that the way to keep healthy was to keep a healthy stomach, not by fating bran crackers or dieting of any sort; on the contrary, I always eat what my appetite craves, but for the past eight years I have made it a daily prac tice to take one or two of Stuart's Hys pepsia Tablets after each meal, and I attribute my robust health for a man of my are to the regular daily use of Stuart's Tablets. My physician firs tadvised me to us them because he said they were perfect ly harmless and were r.nt a secret patent medicine, but contained only th,-? natural cigestives. peptones and diastase, and after using them a few -eek I have never ceas i to thank him for his advice. I honostiy believe the habit of taking Stuart's liystvpsia Tablets after rr.ea.is S3 tne real health habit, because their brirps health to the sick and ailing and preserves health to the well an! strong." Men and women past fifty years of Eg-" need a safe digestive after meals to in sure a perfect digestion and to ward off disease and the safest, best known and most widely used is Stuart's Dys.per.sia Tablets.

THERE WAS A FIGHT. After Days of March in gThrough a Wilderness. Was in Prison at Casiguran for Three Days. Filipino Leader Was Completely Deceived to the Last. Manila, March 29. General TYed Fun ston, who. March 2 captured General Kmiiio -Aguinaldo, when interviewed by the representative of the Associated Press, made the following statement concerning the capture of the Filipino leader: The confidential agent of Aguinaldo- ar rived February 2H at Pantabangan, In the province of Nueva Ecijo, northern Luzon, with letters dated January 11, 12 and 14. These letters were from Kniilio Aguinal do and directed Baldermero Aguinaldo to take command of the provinces of central Luzon, supplementing General Alejandri n. Emiiio Agui naluo also ordered t hat 4jo men he pent him as soon as possible, saying that the bearer of the letters would guide these men to where Aguinaldo was. General Funs ton secured the corre ppondence of Aguinaldo's agent and laid his plans aceordinily. Some months pre viously he had captured the camp of the insurgent General Lacuna, incidentally obtaining Lacuna's seal, official papers and a quantity of signed correspondence. From this- material two letters were con structed, ostensibly from Lacuna to Aguinaldo. One ot these contained infor mation as to the progress of the war. Tiia other asserted that, pursuant to orders received from Baldermero Aguinaldo, La cuna was sending his best company to Presidonte Kmilio Aguinaldo. liis plans completed and approved. Gen eral Funston came to Manila and organ ized his extedition. selecting: seventy- eight Macabtbes. all of whom spoke Tag alog fluently. Twenty wore insurgent uni forms and the others the dress ot Filipino laborers. This Macabebe company, armed with fifty Mausers, eight Remingtons and ten Krag-Jorgensens, was commanded by Captain Russell T. Hazzard of the Kiev enth L'nited States volunteers cavalry. With him was his brother, Lieutenant Oliver P. M. l-Iazzard. of the same regi ment: Captain Harry W. Newton, Thirty fourth infantry, was taken because of his familiarity with Casiguran bay. and Lieu tenant Burton J. Mitchell, Fortieth infan try, went os General Funston's aide. These were the only Americans accompanying- the leader of the expedition. With the Macabebes were four ex-Insurgent otticcrs. one b?ing a Spaniard and the other three Tagalos, whom General Funston trusted implicitly. General Funston and the officers wore plain blue shirts and khaki trousers. They each carried a half blanket, but wore no insignia of rank. The Macabebes were carefully instructed to obey the orders ot the four ex-insurgent of licers. On the night of March 8 the party em barked on the United States gunboat Vicksburg. It was originally intended to take cascoes from the island of Polillo and to drift to the mainland, but a storm arose and three of the cascoes were lost. This pi ail was abandoned. At 2 a. m., March. 14, the Vicksburg put her lights out and ran Inshore twenty-five iuihs south of Casiguran, province of Principe, The party landed and marched to Casi guran. The Americans had never garri soned" this place, and the inhabitants ar strong insurgent sympathizers. Having arrived here, the ex-insurgent officers. os tensibly commanding the party. announced that they were on the way to join Aguin aido between Pautobang and Baler; that they had surprised an American survey ing party and that they had killed a number, capturing five. They exhibited General Funston and the other Americans as their prisoners. The insurgent presidente of Casiguran believed, the story.' Two of the Lacuna letters, previously concocted, were for warded to Aguinaldo at Palan.au, province of Isabella. General Funston and the others were kept imprisoned for three days, surreptitiously giving orders at night. On the morning of March 17. tak ing a small quantity of crocked corn, tha company started on a ninety-mile march to Palanan. The country is mugh and uninhabited, and provisions could not bo secured. The party ate small shellfish, but were almost starved. Wading swift waters, climbing precipitous mountain and penetrating dense jungles, they marcnetf seven aays na mgnts and on March 22 had reached a point eight mile from Palanan. They were now so weak that it was necessary to send to Aguin- aldo's camp for food. Aguinaldo dispatch ed supplies and directed that the Ameri can prisoners be kindly treated, but not be allowed to enter the town. On tne morning of March 23 the ad vance was resumed. The column was met by the staff officers of Aguinaldo and a detachment of Aguinaldo's bodyguard, which was ordered to take charge of the Americans. While one of the insurgent officers eon- versed with Agumaltio s aide, another, a paniard, sent a courier to warn General Funston and the rest, who, with eleven Macabebes. were about an hour behind. Having received this warning. General Funston avoided Aguinaldo's detachment and joined the column, avoiding observa tion. Tne TagaJns went ahead to greet Aguinaldo and the column slowly fol- iwed. arriving finally at Palanan. Aguinaldo's household troops, tifty men 1 neat uniforms of blue and white and wearing straw hats, lined up to receive the newcomers. General Funfton's men crossed the river in small boats, formed on the banks and marched to the right and then in front of the insurgent gren adiers. The Tagalos entered the house where Aguinaldo was. suddenly the fepanish ofheer. noticing that Aguinaldo's aide was watching the Americans suspiciously, exclaimed: "Now, caoeoes. go tor tnera. i lie Macabebes Mifi tire, but their aim was rather in effective, and only three insurgents were killed. The rebels returned the tire. On hearing the firing Aguinaldo, who evident ly thought nis men were mereiv cele brating the arrival of reinforcements, ran to the window and shouted Stop that foolishness quit wasting ammunition." Hilario Plaenlo. one of tne Tatraloir of ficers and a former insurgent major, who- was wounaea m t ne lung ny tne tire of he Kansas regiment at the battle of Ca- oocan. tnrew his arms around Aguinaldo, excaiming: lou are a prisoner of the Americans."

Alambra jumped out of the window and attempted to cross the river. It is. supposed that he was drowned. Five other insurgent officers foueht for a few minutes and then tied, making their escape. When the firing began General Funston assumed command, and directed t he at- ack on the house, personally assisting 11 he capture of Aauiaaldo. The insurgent odvguard fied. leaving twenty rifles. San iaero Barcelona, the insurgent treasurer. surrendered without resistance. When captured. Aguinaldo was tre mendously exeitd. but he calmed down inder General J unston s assurance that he would be well treated. General Fun ston secured ail of Aguinaldo's corre spondence, shewing that he had kept in clove touch with the sub-chiefs of the in surrection in all parts of the archipelago. It was a!sr discovered t hat Aguinaldo, January 2s. ha: proclaimed himself dic tator. He had been living at Palanan for seven months undisturbed except when a detachment of ihe Sixteenth infantry vis ited the town. On that occasion the en ure population took to he mountains and remained there until the troops retired. Aguinaldo admitted that he had come rear to being captured before, but he as serfed that ne had never been wounded. adding: "'I should never have been taken except by strategem.

The expedition rested March 24, and marched 36 miles the following day to Palanan bay, where General Fun ston found the Vicksburg:, which brought him to Manila, Commander Barry of the Vicksburg rendered General Funston splendid assistance. Ag-uinaldo, who talked freely of past events, Maid he supposed General Trias would proclaim himself dictator, not knowing- that Trias had surrendered. He behaved courteously and gave no trouble. General i-'up.stoii says Aguinaldo is above the average in intelligence and has prepossessing manners. General Funston and his prisoners came ashore at 3:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Aruinaldo was at once taken before Gen eral MacAfthur at the Malacanang pal ace. He talked freely, but seemed ignor ant concerning recent events. He appear ed to be in good health and was even cheerful. He lunched with the officers of General Mac-Arthur's staff, and was then escorted to the Anda street jail. Lieutenant Burton Mitchell and Lieu tenant Admire, members of Oeneral Funston's expedition to capture Agui naldo, are both Kansas men by birth. Mitchell and Funston are cousins and lived on adjoining farms near Iola, while Admire was born in North Topeka. Mitchell enlisted in Company I, Twen tieth Kansas, as a private. He was de tailed as a ciertc in the adjutant's office and later was promoted to quartermas ter sergeant. His was one of the early appointments made in the field receiving his commission as second lieutenant, while the regiment was at .Oaloocan. After his muster out at San Francisco he was recommissioned in the Fortieth tTnited States infantry and assigned as aide on the staff of, General Funston. Admire is the son of Jacob Admire, at one time .editor of the North Topeka Times and postmaster of Station A, but now receiver of the Kingfisher, O. T., land office. Admire enlisted at Guthrie, O. T., for service in Cuba, and then went to the Philippines. He is a nephew of Frank Lewis.manager of the Pacific Ex press here. WHAT TO DO WITH HI ML Future Disposition of Aguinaldo Is Attracting Attention. Washington. March 29. The war de partment has not had time as yet to consider the exact status of Aguinaldo, whether he is to be tried and what pun ishment, if any, is to be meted out to him. But there are certain general prin ciples which are said to be clearly es tablished, and the first question asked is as to whether Aguinaldo is to be tried a3 a military or a civil offender. If he is to be regarded as having committed treasonable acts, or fomented an insur rection against the United States then the trial would be of a civil character, ftr these are political offenses agauTSi. the authority of the United States gov ernment and are not offenses under the articles of war to be tried by a military cou.iL martial or 'commission. It is hard ly expected that the rigorous procedure for treason would be adopted. If it should be section 5332 of the Revised Statutes, provides that "every person guilty of treason shall suffer death, or, at the discretion of the court, shall be imprisoned at hard labor for not I023 thar. five years, and fined not less thin J10.0OO." An ether section provides for inciting insurrection, short of actual treason, and specifies the punishment as follows: "Lvery one who incites, sets on foot, assists or engages in any rebellion or i.. eur.ection against the authority of tiie 1 25 c 3 Men's Dressy Easter Suits made up in Fancy Worsteds, in black, blue Serge, Vicunas and Scotch Stripes Special Values at Good Wool Suits $7.45 Ilea's New Spring Golf and Fedora Hats In all the late styles and colors, sold here for $1.85 604-606 608 KANSAS AVENUE. The Store That Saves You Money on Your Wearing Apparel. United States shall be punished by im prisonment not more than ten years or by a tine of not more than $10,000 or both" The foregoing, however, are political offenses against the authority of the United States. It is presumed that Aguinaldo will be held for the present at least, as a military prisoner. If tried as such it would be because he had offend ed against some of the articles of war. Already there have been severa4 trials of Filipino officers for offenses against military usage, such as brutality, but a military tribunal will not take up the larger political offense against the auth ority of the United Statea Article lot o the regulations governing armie3 in the field recites: "Treating in the field the rebellious enemy according to the law and usages of war has never prevented the legiti macy government from, trying the lead ers of the rebellion or the chief rebel for tretion and from treating them accord ing'y, unless they are included In a gen era1 amnesty." This article is referred to as showing that the -warfare in the Philippines has not given Aguinaldo such a strict mi'i tary status as to relieve him from tie higher and graver civil offense of high treason. At the same time, there is lit tle belief that this offense will be charg ed, the idea being that he will be held as a prisoner without any definite de termination of his status, and perhaps in time be granted amnesty on condition that he leave the country. Aside from the punishment to be vis ited upon him, the military regulations provide for the manner in which he shall be treated while held as a prisoner. Thase regulations are similar to those of the Oxford conference and more recent ly t'lose made at The Hague conference. Some of the main features are that th captured officer must surrender his arms, the confinement must be such as will in sure safety, but without intentional suf fering or indignity. A prisoner who es capes may be shot while in flight; pa roles may be granted on stated condi tions; honorable men, when captured, wili abstain, from giving information concerning their own army, and violence is not to be used against prisoners to ex tort information. It is nearly a year since anything has been heard from Aguinaldo. Then the information wts not very authentic. He was being pur sued in Northern "Luzon by different ex peditions under Col. Hare, under J1. Ho.ve and Major Friton C. March. The troops under the last named offi cer captured his equipments and it was supposed the chief insurgent had been -wounded. His escape was effected, it was said, by placing him upon a raft and covering him with leaves, vegetables and bushes. This raft v.-as floated dov!j the stream and passed the points occu pied by the American troops. This stream was the Rio Grande de Cagayan which flows northward and parallel with the eastern coast of northern Luzon, rear which the capture was made.. Re ports of the death of Aguinaldo have been frequent. The fact that many orders issued in Aguinaldo's name never were actually signed by him encouraged the belief that his name was being used by his follow ers even after his death. There was an other story that Aguinaldo was once captured by General Toung, but was In the garb and appeared as a common laborer of the district not understanding a word of English and Spanish and was turned loose after a few days.

"It is yet too early to say what will be done with the rebel chieftain," said one of the cabinet officers. "The matter has not yet received any consideration by the president or cabinet since his capture. "Much will depend upon the future course taken by Aguinaldo in determ ining what his punishment shall be. If as indicated by General MacArthur, he issues an address to the Filipinos advis ing a general surrender and the accept ance of American supremacy in the Philippines -he may be of considerable service to the government in bringing about normal conditions. The adminis tration will be disposed to take advan tage of any practical service the chief ,tain may be to the government providing his acts show him to be sincere. Or, it is suggested, it may be determined to send him away from Manila, probably to the island of Guam. The suggestion that Aguinaldo be banished seems popular with some government officials and in this connection they instance the act of Great Britain in sending General Cronje, the Boer leader, to the island of St. Helena." MASSACRED BY INDIANS. Pata of a Party of Gold Seekers on Tiburon Island. Phoenix, Ariz., March 29. It is report ed that a party of gold seekers was mas sacred by Ceres Indians on the island of Tiburon in the Gulf of California. Two weeks ago six Mexican prospectors left Tepopa, on the west coast of Mexi co, in a small boat and went to Tiburon island in search of gold. Pedro Pas quila, one of the party, has reached the mainland in a small boat and reported a fierce fight with the Indians. He escaped, and believes his companions were killed. PLEDGE F0 TEN YEARS.

It is plain that Fat Crowe will never be captured unless General Funston can be Induced to undertake the Job. T'nder the new franchise law there f?ms to be room for a few Carnegie libraries in Maryland. An uninitiated public would like to know which railroad won in the Ne braska senatorial fieht. Funston'3 success ia partially ex plained by the fact that the only way to reach Agulnaldo's hiding place was by water. i Admitting that Afruinaldo is invulner able to bullets, as his followers are said to believe, General Funston is another proposition entirely. By making" a prisoner of Aerulnaldo General Funston probably baa saved that Individual from a number of more or less violent deaths. i Governor CKlell insists that he and Piatt have not fallen out. The popu lar Impression see ma to be that It was Piatt alone who fell out. Defeated candidates and their friends after next Tuesday will still have the consolation that they live in the state which claims Genr ral Funston. Millionaire Albert L. Johnson says he can build a railroad to carry passengers from New Tork to Philadelphia at the rate of 50 miles an hour at a 5-cent fare for the trip. Turn Mr. Johnson loose. It seems a trifle strange that the peo ple of Porto Pico, who resided there contentedly under Spanish rule, have begrun to emigrate by hundreds since the American occupation. .What's the matter with Porto Rico? Indianapolis News: It is about the first time that the Republicans have come out boldly and announced that the disfranchisement of illiterates is a scheme to beat them at the polls. The party has always professed to be the party of intelligence and moral ideas. MR. CARNEGIE'S GIFTS. The question has been raised con cerning the future stability of Mr. Carnegie's donations, and whether they are. in fact, cash equivalents, or are in securities that are liable to deteriora tion. Pack of this query Is another, which asks whether Mr. Carnegie's gifts, are not intended to strengthen the highly watered steel corporation, and give it a false position of popularity in the minds of the people. "The argument is that the cities which receive these good things will be sharers of the prosperity of the steel corporation, and therefore the people in these cities will be opposed to any leg islation which misrht limit its power to maintain the high prices of iron and steel needed to earn dividends on its enormous share capital." It is claimed for Mr. Carnegie, that of the nearly J:'.0.000.000 which he has piven away, only about $7,000,000 has been in the form of securities. The buildings for libraries cost cash, and Mr. Carnegie furnishes the cash, and they are in no way dependent on the ex pected profits, large or email, of the steel corporation. The experience of Johns Hopkins uni versity of I-Ialtimore and other institu tions. whse millions invested in secu rities so shrank that the shrinkage has mbarrassed their work and crippled, for a time, their usefulness, reminds persons to ask about the Carnenie insti tute and its branches at Pittsburg and the technical school and its endowment at Pittsburg, and this has led the Dis patch of that city to say: "If the Carnepie institute exehang-ps its million of Carnegie company bonds for the bonds of the big-srer corporation, it, with Mr. Carnegie, wiil hold a first mortgage on the majority of the steel manufacturing property of the country. It need not care whether the United States Steel corporation earns the $60, 000.009 or more necessary to yield divi dends on its preferred or common stock. All that interests it Is whether it earns the $15,000,000 necessary to pay the Inter est on the bonds. The $15,000,000 can be earned without an excessive margin in the, prices of iron and steel; the JtiO.OOO, 600 or $75,000,000 cannot." GLOBE SIGHTS. fFrom the Atchison Globe. If your liver don't work, you won't. Don't try to fool a smart man with a thin game; he will catch you at it. The truth is usually that which every man should be too polite to teiL Men have a good defense if they could find same one bold enough to print it. The really lucky person in the world is a pretty girl whose father is rich and generous. If a man wants his wife to vote his way, it is no crime to make it worth the price of an Easter iiat. When a girl's nose gets red when cries, and she doesn't care who sees it, that settles "it: her grief is sin cere. v The most pitiful thing in the w-oild is an old person dragging about, waiting to die. And we are all corning to it- After an only daughter marries and moves to another town, her mother bepins to coax the father to sell out and go and live near her. No woman can take credit for being polite and accommodating if she has had a popular book six months, and it still has the back on. It is about time some new curative process was discovered: every thing now used in Atchison has become as old fashioned as big sleeves. Probably the most desolate lime In the life of a father and mother is when they realize that their home ia becom ing too large for the family. As a matter of brain diet, no one should read more than one book a month of the kind so interesting that one lets the fire go out while read ing it. When a school girl begins to do her hair up on her head, it is one sign that she is now old enough to go with the boys without causing the neighbors to scream. Handsome dress goods are marked on counter to make it seem possible that a woman can get a dress for a dollar, but no one but a very inexperienced man is fooled. An Atchison man, who, In the mar riage service, promised to endow a little woman five feet tall with all his world ly goods, has discovered that he endow ed her mother, father, and grandmother, all of whom live with him. After a woman has been employed two years in a country school, it becomes necessary to engage a man teacher to subdue the bad boys.

Many a laboring man's down in the world digging gold. It's a wise cook that knows enough to leave well done alone. He who calls all men fools is right in at least one instance. An umbrella does a lot of good but it has to be put up to it. The largest room in the world is the room for improvement. The man who does a little and does it well does a great deal. A dude dressed out of sight ia very apt to be out of mind as well. The fly that loafs around a blacksmith shop isn't afraid of a hammer. The bore who is looking for nobody in particular should look in the mirror. The less veracity a man has of his own the more he admires it in other people. The finished performance of an actor is often a great relief to the audience. Youth has a perseverance all its own, but the trouble is I", never knows when to stop. Probably thieves are near-sighted and unable to distinguish other people's property from their own. A woman is very apt to have misgiv ings about a man who is addicted to the free and unlimited coinage of compli ments. A rural editor In writing of a new addition to the village church choir says: "Her voice is as soft as butter in August and as tender as a pair of $1.98 trousers." QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Politeness is cheap enough for every body to have some. The plumber isn't the only man who is addicted to pipe dreams. It is the ambition of every woman to live up to her photographs. Ton can't make light of your troubles by burning up the gas bill. Strong drink may screw up a. fellow's courage entirely too tight. The fellow who has never had a rival in love isn't much of a lover. A man doesn't have to be liberal to give his daughter away when she is married. Nell "Did you say she was a grand piano player?" Belle "No, I said she played on a grand piano." He "You would be a great help to me in the struggles of life." She "Ah, you want me to be assister to you."

Boston Society Receives Rare Speci mens For Preservation. Boston, March 9. Kev. Dr. Wm. C. Winslow, vice president of the Egyptian exploration fund, stated that in addi tion to the papyri from Oaxyrhychus presented to several universities is a val uable lot of 43 papyri from several sites in the I ayum, which have been received for distribution. A papyrus for Yale of the twenty- second book of the Iliad of the first cen tury preserves the notable combat be tween Achilles and Hector. Harvard gets two pieces of the Odyssey of the first century. The University of Penn sylvania has a fragment of the Odyssey of the first century. Among seven papyri for Columbia is a tax collector's return, showing items and how the collectors made returns in A. D. 196. In the papyrus for Hamilton college is the receipt for a voter named Philoxenus. One of the two papyri for Vassar col lege is the official notice of the birth of a son from Ischyias and his wife Thai sarion. A. D. 150. Of six papyri for Princeton one is a le- turn of house property, A. D. 131, from Sambous to Dius and Herodes, keepers of the registry of property. The rise of the Nile was the great annual event, and upon it taxes were calculated. Hence one of the six papyri sent to Johns Hopkins, treating of the unwatered land tilled by Ptollarous, A. D. 163, is peculiarly interesting. She de clares that her field at Euhemeria did not get the water. Her plea, in a word, is "no crops, no taxes." FOUND IVOIIY LI0SS. Important Discoveries Made by Prof. Petrie in Egypt. Boston, March 29. Rev. Dr. William C. Winslow. vice president of the Egypt exploration fund, has just received offi cial word that Prof. Petrie has un earthed at Abydos the records of kings before Mena, the founder of the first dynasty, nearly 4,800 years before Christ. "We have found," writes Prof. Petrie, "the names of Narma Ka and a king named by a fish sign, perhaps also of two kings. Deb and Sam of Mena, and those earliest kings. There are about 30 inscriptions and a heavy strip of gold with the name Aha (Mena). In the tomb of Khazkhoumi were found stone vases, each with a gold cap tied on with gold wire. Also two broad bangles of gold and a dinner service of a dozen pans and dishes, with 160 models of tools in hheet copper. The frequent use of ivory then witnessed by the discovery of 40 inscribed Ivories and stones and two lions cut in ivory." LEAVING PORTO RICO. eland Is Being Depopulated of Its Best Laborers. San Juan, P. R., March 29. The agents of the company engaged in con structing the railroad from Guayaquil to Quito, Ecuador, are in Porto Rico re cruiting for laborers. This, in connec tion with the departure yesterday of S99 emigrants for Hawaii and 400 more for Cuba to work in the iron mines, is draining Porta Rico of its best laborers. The entire press of the island is object ing to this emigration. Planters cannot cultivate their lands owing to the lack of money, and consequently there is no work to be had here. The authorities are taking no step3 to prevent this emi gration. There are 63 cases of smallpox at Ponce. A slight increase of the disease in the rest of the island is reported. BORROWS MONEY ON LEGS. Omaha Woman Gets $25 From a Pawnbroker on Artificial Limbs. Omaha, Neb., March 29. Miss Jessie Robinson applied at Sam Adler's pawn, slu-p today for a loan on her cork lees. The pawnbroker was startled by the question: "Will you loan me $25 on my legs?" from o. well dressed young woman as she entered the shop. The pawnbroker asked gravelv: "Madam, have you your legs with you?" She assured him that she waa standing on them at the moment. "They are cork, you know," she ex plained apologetically. At Adler's request the woman, timidly nml with her face suffused with blushes, lifted her skirts three or four inches, dis playing a well-rounded cork ankle. She explained that her artificial legs extended above her knees. Adler insisted that It must see the whole of the limbs befor loaning money on them. "Very well." she said In desperation, 'Til take them on" right here." "For heaven's sake, don't do that! Go home and I'll call for them," replied Ad ler. The young woman left. Half an horn later Adler received a. telephone message that the leps were waiting for him, anil he Immediately called for them fuid loaji. ed ?25 for them. As he placed the limb by his siTa in the buggy the woman called to him: "I am expecting some money in a week or two, and then I'll send around and get mv legs." The woman's natural legs were cut oft in a railroad wreck at Greenwood, Neb. REVEALS AWFUL CRIME. Find of Workmen Points to WifeMur der Committed ia 1831. Poultney, Vt., March, 29. Workmen In removing a cellar wall today discovered a hidden pit, seven feet square, in tne center of which was a stout iron poat. Fastened to :he post was a heavy iron chain, on the end of w hich was an old fashioned pair of handcuffs. Near by was found a heap of human bones. The discovery is supposed to solve the mys tery of a crime committed 70 years ago Perry Borden, a day laborer, became very jealoua of his pretty young wile and in November, 1S31, she mysteriously disappeared. Borden said she bad run away to Canada. No effort was "ever made to find her. Borden himself left a couple of years later and followed trie sea for 50 years. He returned here in ISS'l and for a couple of years waa a town charge. He finally died and was buried here. He was never known to mention his wife's name after her disap pea: ance. HAPPY L1RS. FUNSTON. Many People Call at the Home of the General. Manila, March 29. When Aguinaldo was captured he wore a plain dark blue suit, with the coat closely buttoned at the throat, and a wide white helmet. with a leather band. He takes his cap ture philosophically. He is generally cheerful, but some times -moody. His health during the past year has been very good. It is uncertain what attitude he will now assume. Certain visitors are permitted to see Aguinaldo but newspaper interviews with the prisoner are not allowed. Since Aguinaldo has been domiciled at the Malacanan palace persons not provided with special permtis have been denied admission to the grounds. General Trias, the commander of the insurgent forces in southern Luzon, who recently surrendered to the American authorities, visited Aguinaldo and told the latter why he surrendered. Trias said that a continuance of armed oppo sition to the United States was unjus tifiable and ruinous; that the independ ence of the Philippines was impossible, and that the Filipinos would better ac cept yberty, prosperity- and progress under American rule. The capture of Aguinaldo, following the surrender of General Trias, will probably occasion the surrender of the insurgent leader Malavar, in Batangas province, Luzon; Bellarmino, in Albay province. Luzon, and Lucban, in the island of Samar, within a mopth. Many people visited the residence of General and Mrs. Funston, on the Calle Real, in the suburbs of Rrmita. The general modestly declined to talk. Mrs Funston, was evidently the happiest woman in the Philippine islands. Gen. Funston has been recommended for the highest practicable reward. It is believed here that he will receive &n appointment as brigadier general in the regular army. SITUATION UNCHANGED. At 3 p. rrf. the thirty-sixth ballot, Clark offered a motion to vary the mo notony. It was of trivial import, and Governor Stanley arbitrarily laid it on the table. Whereupon a bystander re marked that this was no Joking mat ter, and the councillors became solemn again, proceeding to the forty-third bal lot in the same nonchalant manner and never a break. Then to George Cole it suddenly oc curred that an official state paper must be selected, so the council went into ex ecutive session to choose that vehicle of the state's business. A FIRE SCARE. A man slaking lime in the basement of the state house brought the sedate executive council up out of their seats this afternoon and away from the ex citing railroad election to investigate a fire scare. There had been a heap of papers and refuse where the slaking boxes had been placed. The sound of a hose playing on the steaming lime com pleted the deception. PAPER FOR 219 YEARS. James E. Moore and Brother Break Subscription Record. Binghamton, N. Y., March 29. "Please send us your paper from the present time until Dec. 31 of the year 2120, draw on us at once for total bill and forward receipt." Such was the purport of a let ter recently written to the publisher of the Greene American, a local newspaper, by James H. Moore and his brother, William H. Moore, the noted trustmak ers. Some time ago the Moores decided that they could do much good by intro ducing a novel philanthropy, and the record-breaking newspaper subscription is the result. Today they received a re ceipt, the price for 219 years being near ly $1,400. SOCIETY MEN USE FISTS. Request For a Loan Ends in a Sensa tion in Louisville. Louisville, Ky., March 29. With their bare fists In straight Marquis of Queens berry style Dr. Leslie Myer and Lowell Clark, both prominent young men in Louisville society, settled a point of honor early this morning. Myer won in the second round with a right on the jaw. The trouble started in Memphis, Ter.n., several weeks ago. Dr. Myer, who is an ex-volunteer soldier, was then visiting a last year's debutante. His funds ran low. and meeting Clark asked for a loan. Clark told the young wo man. The physician's money came from Louisville that day.' He and Clark met yesterday and the fight was arranged. CAPITAL IS ELECTED. The state executive council this after noon elected the Daily Capital official state paper. Paving Turned Down. The council committee on streets and walks failed to act on the application for paving Eighth and Ninth streets between Quincv ajid Monroe. Some of the people in the blocks want wider paving than was asked for in the petition and it is on this account that tiie petitions were not acted upon. 1VIIITE MEN OF ALGERIA. From the London Express. The Berbers of Algeria are a people of whom there is much good to be said Whether in the olive-clad mountains of Kabylia or the terraced valleys of the:. Aurasian fastnesses, they are white men and in general act like white men. Very little is known about them in this country, but Mr. Anthony Wilkin has written so fascinatingly about them in his admirable book "Among the Berbers of Algeria," that there is no excuse for us to remain longer in ignorance con cerning this interesting race of men. Among them the virtues of honesty, hospitality and good nature are con spicuous; and it is something of a mis fortune to reflect that Mahomedanisn and the fact that they no longer dwell in the lowlands prevent them entering as they would otherwise have entered, on the path of peace and progress. Descendants of a mighty race, whose culture once spread from the Atlantic to the Red sea and the Hauron, from Crete to Timbuctoo and the Soudan, there are Ftill to be found among them the ves tiges of the arts and sciences, of the spir it of conquest, and the capacity for self government which, if developed, would again make them a great nation. The Berber women of the Aures wash their garments on the rocks, soaking them, treading upon them, and spread ing and trampling each piece until it is quite clean. They have blue eyes and fair skins, and, unlike the true daugh ters of the prophet, gaze unveiled upon the casual unbeliever. Throughout the Aures district the houses are built on the same plan. When e cliff can be found to form the bacK wall it is used as such, Mr. Wilkin in forms us. If the cliff contains a hole or hollow, so much the better. The walls are made of blocks of stor.e Eet in mud instead of mortar, the large, crevices being filled with splinters and the smaller with fragments; while in tha better houses the square faces of the stones are set outwards in such a way as to give a very regular appearance. Inside these houses are generally stotce benches, which have been carved fro.n the rocks, or are built of odd stones and plastered flat with mud. The floors also are of rock leveled with mud. The animals are sometimes stabled in the family room ,but as often in a sep arate stall, either under or close to the main building. The women regularly sweep the roofs every morning; nor are the villagers so dirty as might be sup posed. At sunset the women come up from th?. streams bearing water in goat-skins, or faggots, or forage, all piled upon their backs. For the most part they are dress ed in black or dark blue gowns, gathered in at the waists -with brightly-colored woolen girdles. Some wear sandals of grass neatly plaited, and these are commonly worn by the men as well. Many women go barefooted, however, like the children. The wives of rich and indulgent hus bands are often loaded with coarse sil ver ornaments, Including a gigantic pair of anklets that weigh nearly a pound, end clank like chains on the legs of the proverbial ghost. Their headdresses vary greatly in the matter of color, but are all more or lrs3 based on a squarish turban, over which gaudy handkerchiefs are arranged with scrupulous care and an excellent eye Cn' effect. The servants wear practically the same garments as their masters, and are treated so nicely by them that it is diffi cult for a stranger to disUnguish them at once. To notice a servant, however, in the presence of a kaid would be a gra- e breach of etiquette. Often your host will Insist on waiting on you himself, and on these occasions he will not touch a mouthful himself un til he sees that his guests are satisfied.

The Post says: A combination has been formed by companies engaged in the Alaskan trade for the purpose of preventing profitless competition. A uniform scale of prices will be adhered to, and the companies of San Francisco, Seattle, Cape Nome and Dawson will be on an equal foot ing. Five companies so far have been draw" into the union, and it is expected that others will follow. Those that have al ready signified their Intention to abide by the rules of the agreement are the Alaska Commercial company and Alas ka Exploration company of this city; the North American Transportation and Trading company of Seattle, the Ames Mercantile company of Cape Nome and the Seattle-Yukon Trading company of Seattle and Dawson. They represent the bulk of trade with these points in the Alaskan territory. The formation of the union Is the re sult of negotiations which have been underway for several weeks. Represen tatives of Seattle and other places have visited San Francisco for the purpose of reaching an understanding wdth the of ficials of the local companies. Thes overtures have borne fruit and it is now announced that the combination has been formed and the agreement enter ed into although the plans for the prac tical working of the enterprise have rot been consummated. The North American Commercial com pany of this city did not enter the un ion as Its business is almost entirely con fined to the coal trade at Dutch Harbor The Wild Goose Mining and Trading company in which Charles D.

TOPEKA STATE JOUHNAL, FRIDAY EVENING. MARCH 29, 1901. 5 TO LEASE FAIR GROUNDS Topeta Exposition Co. Will 3Iate Proposition to That End. A meeting of the old Topeka. Kxpos-l-tlon company was held last night in the Commercial club rooms. Frank Foster was the chaiiman of the meeting; Al though it pj small in point of num bers, it was large in it3 scope and the preliminary plana for a large and popu lar undertaking were discussed and com mented upon. The lack of numbers of members out nt the meeting is accounted for by the fact that the association has been prac tically dead or sl-epin? for a consuov Ta ble lentrth of time and the stockhuld.-rs have almost fonrotten their orsMniza-tio.-. However 1 of the 5:? stocknoidf-rs M erc present, several of whom held trie proiies of ether sti ckholders.

Crane, Chas. famsw, O. P. Upde praf and V. Kaczynski was appointed to ranpult with the county commit lon ers rt-lative to the possibility of securing a l"are on the fair grounds for a term of jears. It is unitarstood that t'r.e county commissioners are favorable to lett ner the grounds out to some oPsoci-- tio.n for such purposes as th? Topeka. Kxrosition association has uVsierned. Tiie commissioners have had proposi ti'?, made them from private partita for the r-'nt of the grounds but the com rnl.f loners are of the opinion that the rubric win derive more benefit and will be !i lit r served by- letting the grounds out to an a-c"ciu t i'n composed of re; rest r.tativ? citizens than to b-t it out to fn-.'at" parties, and therefore look with favor upon the plan of the members of the Kxposition association. Tliis otniM.iitee vi ill make a report at th next mevtinjr, at which time a large attendance, is anticipated, and at this time decisive action will be taken.

Eerlin Is Agitated by the Em peror's (Jueer Speech. Berlin. March 29. The conservative papers do not discuss Krr.peror Wil liam's speech to the Alexander grenadier regiment at their nw barracks yester day, but the liberal papers Renerally comment on his majesty's utterances, omphasizing- the statement that the em I eror is ill informer! concerning' the character of the March (1S48) revolution in Herlin. The National Zeitumj ex jTesws its inability to comprehend what current events induced the emperor to refer to the revolution in 1S4S, and says it does not see any siKns of his mag-t-sty needing: a bodyguard. The Vossische Zeitung is also unable to S"e any occasion for the emperor's words, s-.nee nobody in Perlin is think 1'iar of a revolution, and his majesty's i redieessirs repeatedly recognized the loyalty of Berlin's population. The Vorsvaerts cites a number of pre vious speeches of the emperor exhort ing the soldiers to figrht for him when T eeessary. and claims it has authentic .information that hia words were liter ally as follows: "If the city of Berlin should apain im pudently and disobediently rise acr-inst the kintr as in IMS, then my grenadiers. It will be your duty witli the points of your bayonets to annl il-l.e the im pudent and disobedient." The Tageblatt is amazed, and asks what has occurred to justify the em peror's words. It. points out that the revolution of IMS was not directed fcfrainst the Hchenzoliern dynast-, and appeals "from the ill-informed emperor to the emperor rightly informed." Nobby Easter Suits. Jno. F.

TE1I3IS ARE TOO STRICT. Promoters of a Canadian Railway Ob ject to Government's Ideas. Victoria. B. C March 29. When the eoverrmient supporters meet in caucus to consider the different propositions forwarded to the administration in reply to an investigation for tenders for the construction of the coast Kootenay line, they may find that the parties who ex pected to lay their proposals before them faiied to do bo. Promoters of the Vic toria. Vancouver and Kastern now in the city do not hesitate to say that they will not table a tender under the terms of the specifications which they hold to be prohibitive. The principal terms of the agreement which must be complied with to render a tender possible are as fellows: 1. The company must contribute to the government four per cent of the gross earnings of the road, said percent age to ba a lirst charge on the railway. 2. All contracts must te submitted to the lieutenant governor in council for his approval, and all materials used in construction of the road must be sub ject to similar approval. 3. X(i aliens must be emploved in con structlon unless it can be shown to the government in council that the road can not be bunt without recourse -to them. 5. The rates are to be subjected to the some point on ancouver Island daily rrom tne mainland. 5. The rates are to be subjected to tre supervision of the government in coun cil. The ictoria, Vancouver Eastern promoters say that the imposition of the first mentioned clause would be to saddle the scheme with an incubus which would be fatal to floatinsr the nec essary loans. They also alleee that that condition would be repugnant to the Dominion statute, which provides that running expenses must be lirst charges on the earnings. Bondholders would also object to any other charge taking pre cedence of theirs. Four per centage of the gross, they say. would mean about twelve p?r cent of the net earnings. The provision relating to aliens ia also con sidered superfluous and ultra-vires of the province, as Dominion laws prohibit tne employment of aliens. To Victorians there is some disap pointmer.t in the fact that although tiro vision is made for a daily ferry, Victoria is net mentioned as one of the terminals cf that railway and under the specifi cations some other island point mnrht be selected. It is feit in some quarters tr.at tne conditions would not be ac cepted even by the Canadian Pacific railway and that no tender will be made for it and the building of the road be deterred. RUSSIANS REFUSE Decline a British Invitation to Remove Their Flags. Daily Mail from Tien London, March 29. The has received the following Tsin. dated yesterday: "Colonel McDonald politely asked the Russians to remove their flags from the British portion of the disputed territory, where they were surreptitiously placed after a mutual evacuation had been agreed upon. The Russian flatly de clined. "It is understood that the question of an arbitration on the title to the con cession has not yet been settled." A ROYAL ROD! GUARD. Duties of the Regiment to Occupy the New Berlin Barracks. New Tork. March 29. A dispatch to the Herald from Berlin says: In Berlin the extraordinary speech of Emperor William upon the occasion of the open ing of the new barracks at Kupfergra ben is attributed to the feelings of the kaiser in regard to the Bremen outrage. One account says that the emperor re ferred to the proximity of the new bar racks to the royal castle, and the fact that the regiment would serve as a royal bodysruard. The big barracks building would, lie said, form a sort of tower in the middle of the town of Berlin, and would also serve to defend the city in cas,? of ned. "But." added his majesty, "if ever the city of Berlin should again rise against its ruler, the regiment would be called uixvn to quell with its bayonets the in subordination of the populace toward their king." FATHER COLTON'S RISE. Selected as a Successor to Bishop Wigger of Newark Diocese. New York, March 29.

There are a nrabpr of people In Topeka this morning who are wondering how tre drama "Two Little Vagrants" ever made a success in Paris and another in New Y ork.

The play was full of such expressions as "I. tile father of your child, your husband in the sight of God," and tr.en the wile who cries: "Stop one moment. You shall know nil.

Populist Leaders Would Keep Their rarly Intact. State Committee Is Making Can Tass of the Sentiment. W. D. STREET'S VIEWS. Ex-Speaker Is Against Fusion and For Omaha Platform. J. C. Iiuppenthal Wants to Cap ture Democratic Party. Rank and file Populists are lining up for the maintenance of their party or ganization, and for going it alone in the future. This is the tone and spirit dis played, in a way, in the effort that is being made by the Populist central committee on getting the sentiment as to what shall be done in view of the anti-fusion law. The poll is being carried on by the Farmers' Advocate, ajid Secretary J. H. Cuiran reports the answers to the re quest for opinions piling in. "I expect there will be several thou sand letters if they keep on coming at the present rate.," said he. "There's more snap and vinegar in the old Pop party today than there ever -was." Last week these questions were pro pounded to the rank and iile: No. 1. Are you in favor of a straight People'9 party ticket from this time on? No. 2. Are you in favor of fusion? No. 3. Are you in favor of the organi zation of a new party.? No. 4. Are you in favor of going into the Democratic party? No. 5. What do you suggest as an aid to the perpetuation of People's party principles? No. 6. What is your opinion of the propriety of making direct legislation the paramount issue in the next state campaign? The replies published this week give the beginning- of an interesting discus sion. These earliest writers have a de cided majority in favor of a straight People's party ticket from this time on. They are almost unanimous against or ganizing a new parti-, and the advocacy of going into the Democratic party is de cidedly weak. Those who want to :ioin the Democrats are the fire-eating kind, and they propose to wade in and cap ture the Democracy and make it come around to their beliefs and principles. Every one of the correspondents is in favor of making direct legislation the issue of the next campaign. W. D. Street, of Oberlin, who was speaker of the house in the session of 1S97, leads off the discussion. He is for the straight ticket, against fusion, a new party or entering the Democratic party. "I am -willing to follow the Omaha platform, and the principles therein as serted, when it leads, as a true soldier follows! the flag in the heat of battle," says Mr. Street. "No compromise or half a loaf business will again, satisfy me. "Put the principles of the party first; relegate personal ambition. "But the discouraging feature at this time is the fact that a large majority of the present state senate is favorable to the trusts and corporations and against the best interests of the people. They hold over during the next session of the legislature, in 1903. Even should the cause of the people sweep the state two years hence, plutocracy In the shape of the senate will block the wheels of progress and reform, and it will be four vears before the people get any relief in Kansas. During that time the people will realize that they get what they vote for to the full extent of what that means in staying the advancement of their in terests while greedy corporations will rest secure fcr the time from molesta tion." J. C. Fvuppenthal, of Russell, an ex-rep-esentative. is one of those who pro poses to take the Democrat3 under their wing. He says: "J believe the proper step for us of the People's party to take now, is to dissolve that organization in Kansas, and go in mas.-; into the Democratic organization, capture that party and control it abso lutely. If the Bryan-George Fred Wii liarr s-Altgeld kind of Democrats contin ue to control their party, we should help them, and no kind of outside he'p can be so effective as work from the In side. We as members of the Democrat ic party can insist upon high principles ana consistent practice but as members of another party, we can not reasonably hop? to control the Democratic party or guide its course aright. There is now great danger that the old moss-back, bou'bon, aristocratic, plutocratic, non progressive, anti-everything, conserva tive element may again gain the ascen deni y in Democratic councils. If they do, ihere is nothing for humanity in that party, so controlled "Experience has demonstrated that it takei a long time to form a new party that will amount to anything except lo cally. Local parties are of small conse quence nationally. If the People's pr.rty had everywhere the organization, coher ence and strength (hat it has in Kansas and Nebraska, I would favor its contin ued existence letting the regenerated Democrats come to us. "Yes, I favor going Into the Den.o crs ic party in Kansas, and doing our best to keep that party as radical as its Chicago and Kansas City platforms, and to press) it forward continually in the way of direct legislation, and puDlic owr.ershin local, state and national, xt our efforts in this line failed, and the party went to its moss-back vomit, then we would again have to 'move on' at the behest of the policeman, progress. I;y joining and controlling the Democratic party, we would" have a great national organization, and would carry many along by force of habit and name who have not studied the great new issues aa the Populists have and while these would be an injury were progress vtry rap-dly and very suddenly made, yet our sad experience is that people do rot mon c very rapidly in public affairs, and by the time we were able to enact ad vanced laws even these 'slow-pokes-would have caught the spirit cf prog ress H. F. Powers, speaking of direct legis lation, says he was given "the impres sion that only the Republicans are ene mies; to this reform. Yet the Democrat ic legislature of Missouri this year de fea'.ed a like amendment, notwithstand ing the Democratic national platform of 11-uO declared for the initiative and refer endum, wherever practicable Will Mr. David Overmyer, who drums this re form to be the very essence of Democ racy and that it is practicable everj -wh.Te in the L'nited States, explain why it isn't practicable in Missouri? And if it is practicable there, and if the grval Democratic party, as he claims, is con mitled to it, why was the Democratic ieg'slature of Missouri afraid to even give the people a chance to say w hether they wanted it or not? One fact of this kini is worth more in determining the real sentiment of the party on this ques tion than pages of professions and plati tudes. If the People's party would pet heart and courage into its membership, rekindle the enthusiasm of its earlier days, and become once more a menace to wrong and the hope of the toiler; it muit get back to the policy of Its found ers and steer a perfectly independent course. The people have not changed. They will again respond to that policy. They will respond heartily and prompt ly. Thousands who have moped in des pair or worked with only half a heart, will spring into the work when this only wise, consistent and manly course is re verted to." W. F. Rightmire, of Cottonwood Falls, who once ran for chief justice, is against a new party and is bitterly against training with the Democrats. He says: "I am opposed to fusion in the future as I have been in the past. Its curse ha3 blighted our party, and done more for its destruction than all other causes combined. "Most emphatically no," he says to the proposition to go into the Democratic party, "for the action of the Illinois state committee foretells that the old moss back element of that party will control its action before the next presidential election, and it will become an enemy to any of the reforms we demand." "Saw wood, saw wood, saw wood," says W. D. Cellar, of Edwardsville by way of suggestion to aid in the prepara tion and advancement of the party. He objecte this way to going over to the Democrats. "Most emphatically no. The history of the Democratic party in Kan sas is the history of the attempt of a handful of chronic politicians to sneak into office whenever they can get some other party to give them a boost. No reform ever has come. nor ever can come, through the Democratic party iu Kan sas." An Abilene man wants the Populists to join the Social Democrats. "Buffalo" Jones is in favor of the straightforward policy. "We should continue the Peo ple's party until something better is pre sented," he says, "joining with the new Democracy, but with the reorganization as advocated by Cleveland, Hill and oth ers, never." He would not go into the Democratic party "until we can know what the Dem ocrats stand for. Party- is, or should be, a declaration of principles, and it mat ters not what name goes to signify the principles." FUfiSTOfl fUST WAIT. Cabinet to Await Further Par ticulars From Manila. Washington, March 29. The cabinet meeting today was devoted almost en tirely to a discussion of the capture of Aguinaldo, its effect upon the military situation in the Philippines, the dispo sition to be made of the insurgent chief and the reward to be given to General Funston. The subject was considered in all its phases, but no definite conclu sions were reached either with regard to General Funston's reward or to the punishment of Aguinaldo. The president and all members of the cabinet are in favor of the most liberal and substantial recognition of the serv ice performed by General Funston. There was some discussion of the ques tion of making him a brigadier general in the regular army, butit was- thought full reports should be awaited before action is taken. The matter probably will be allowed to rest where it is for the present. General Funston is hold ing a volunteer commission as a brig adier general which will not expire un til June 30 of this year, so that so far as honor and emoluments are concerned his standing would not be prejudiced by the delay. The disposition to be made of Aguin aldo was a matter that could not be dis posed of definitely. Whatever action is taken in regard to him will originate witn the army officials in the Philippines and be passed upon finally here. There is no inclination to deal harshly with tha mas who has led the insurrection against the forces of this country. Sor.e of the cabinet officers think it is possibK; he may be used with good effect by the authorities of the Philippine commission is tie establishment of civil government. Gen. MacArthur's dispatch suggesting that Aguinaldo might issue an address advising the insurgents to accept the sit uation was pointed to as indicating pos sibilities along this line. Ort the othev hand Aguinaldo's record has not been such as to win for him great confidence in his constancy and if his influence can not be utilized safely he undoubtedly will be sent to some place where he cao foment no further trouble. Guam was mentioned as a possible place for his de tention. The president and his cabinet believ? that the capture of Aguinaldo will mean much in the crushing of the insurrection. Indeed they are inclined to believe now that it means the utter collapse of the. opposition to the authority of the United States. LOCAL MENTION. Mrs. Tanquary, matron of the Cushing hospital in Leavenworth, visited friends in Topeka today. R. M. Hamer, representative from Lvon county, has formed a law partner ship with Judge C. B.

A man telephoned the police concern ing some trouble in his neighborhood and he apologized to the man answering the 'phone. He said: "I know that j'ou are not supposed to do anything except watch the joints, but I do wish that you would pay some attention to this com plaint." Recital by Miss Crum and pupils to night at First Baptist church. HARRIS MIGRATE Senior Senator From Kansas Goes to Oshorne. Will Eecome a Citizen of Sixth District. THE FIRST DROPS OUT, District Will No Longer Hare a United States Senator. iew Location Favorable to Po litical Preferment. United States Senator W. 'A. Harris is migrating this spring to western Kansas. He sold his farm ranch in Leavenworth county a few weeks ago, and has bought a thousand-acre ranch near Osborne, in Osborne county, and will engage in the breeding of fine stick upon a larger scale than ever. Senator Harris disposed of much of his stock on his Linwood ranch at a public sale recently. By the emigration of Senator Harri3 and the political retirement of ex-Senator Baker, Leavenworth county is left to bemoan the fact that it is now with out a United States senator of its own. The removal of Senator Harris to Osborne county in political significance, as far as it has any, will give him a possible strengthening of his fences in his own party. Senator Harris would be looking for a re-election if, by any chance, the Populists should regain con trol of the legislature. The First district had but one member in the last legislatures-Fete Laughlin. of Muscotah. There were eight or nine from the short grass counties in the Sixth. In case there is ever anything more coming to Senator Harris in his own party councils he wants a strong delegation at his back, and he would stand a much better chance of going into a convention with a big following from the Sixth than in the sweepingly Republican First district. ENGLAND COMPLAINS. Thinks America's Course in China Is Not Positive Enough. New York, March 29. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: There is the usual Chinese medley in the dispatches from Pekin, St. Peters burg, Berlin and Washington. A pos itive assertion from Russian sources that the Manchuria convention has been signed is met with equally explicit statements that England has protested against it and that the Chinese gov ernment has deferred action, owing to appeals from the viceroys of Wuchang and Nanking and protests from Japan and other powers. Lord Cranborne ad mitted in the house of commons that he did not know whether the agreement had been accepted or rejected. It is a. tan glcrd skein of diplomacy, and the first knot that needs to be unraveled is the real scope of the Anglo-German agree ment. This compact has not been re pudiated, but the two partners have clearly been playing at cross purposes and with demoralizing effect. As far as the Yangtse viceroys are concerned, these viceroys who had pre vented a revolution in central China were protesting against the s,urrender of Manchuria to Russia by the Manchu party of reaction. Count von Buelow paralyzed their action when he declared that Manchuria was outside the scope of the Angle German agreement, for he virtually licensed Russia to enforce and proclaim the provisions of the Manchu ria convention. Lord Cranborne has been breaking the force of this revela tion by contradictions and evasions, which leave a final impression that the two partners are not in accord respect ing the policy which should be adopted toward Russia. The action of Japan in interpreting in a natural way the scope of that conven tion and the dangers to which the Yangtse viceroys may be exposed from resentment of the Manchu dynasty may warn the western powers that strenuous opposition must be offered to the Rus sian plan of campaign. Diplomatists explain the situation as a result of the German reversion to Bismarck tradi tions. Bismarck always cantrived to have a secret understanding with Rus sia, whatever might be his relations or alliances with other powers. The Ger man emperor has made an agreement with England, whom Bismarck never regarded as a natural ally. He has sud denly honored the traditions of Bis marck diplomacy by disclaiming any interference with Russian designs in Manchuria. The diplomatic view is that this result is due either to the necessity of conciliating the anti-English prejudice in Germany or to tht expediency of winning Russian support to the indem nity proposals or other points concern ing which the concert is now divided. Membersof parliament are encouraged by the outspoken leaders in the Times, and are hoping that the government will pull itself together and condemn strong ly Russian intrigues against the integ rity of China. This would involve em phatic repudiation of Count von P.uelow's announcement that the Anglo German agreement excludes Manchuria, and the adoption of the literal interpre tation of that convention placed upon it by Japan. Enciish complaints are heard that the American government is inactive and feeble in the China question. These strictures will come with better grace when it is apparent that the Anglo German agreement is not a cover for the P.ussian conquest of northern China, and that the British government is bent upon supporting the best of the Yangtse viceroys, instead of condoning the plots of the worst and most reactionary Man churian intriguers. HERO TO BE MARRIED. Captain Hobson's Engagement is An nounced. New York, March 29. Capt. Richmond Hobson is engaged to wed Miss Emiline Grigsby of this city. No date has yet been made public for the marriage, but it is reported that it will take place very soon. Miss Grigsby is now visiting the parents of Captain Hobson at Greensboro, Ala., chaperoned by Mrs. Hopkins, a prominent New York society woman. It had been reported for some time that Captain Hobson and Miss Grigsby were engaged, but it was said that the Hobsons objected to the match. This the family of the hero will not deny or confirm. However, it is now known trat there is no opposition to the mar riage. Miss Grigsby is a beautiful woman of the blonde type, and the friends of Cap tain Hobson are very much pleased with the announcement of the engagement. Miss Grigsby lives at 660 Park avenue with her mother. She is a Keutuckian by birth, but has been a resident of New York since her tenth year. Her father was a Virginian and her mother a Kentuckian. Her brother, Braxton Grigsby, was a member of Roosevelt's rough riders, and wes wounded in the battle of San Juaiy Hill. Miss Grigsby recently declined to dis cuss her reported engagement to Cap tain Hobson, but said that they had been good friends for six years. Re cently, when Hobson was ill in New York, he spent a month at the Grigsby home recuperating. It is learned that Captain Hobson was engaged to Miss Grigsby soon after the sinking of the Merrimac in Santiago Bay. BIG SNOW IN KANSAS. Melted Almost as Fast as It Fell However.

Railroad Commissioners Have Not Het Been Chosen. There was no change from the dead lock of the morning when the executive council got down to business again on the railroad board election this after noon. The twenty-sixth ballot run off in the same way, Stanley for Richter, Nelson and Grimes for Findlay.Cole for McNeill Godard for Walker and Clark for Craw ford. Balloting was continued. There was no change at the thirty-fifth ballot. The ironing out is still to come. Secretary of State Clark's first choice of Crawford was a trifle unexpected. He is credited with being for Rees and that he would go into the first ballot with him. Another Republican will be put in for the one year term, after the three-year man is selected. LOST BOY RETURNS, Herbert French Soon Got Tired of Houghing It. Tuesday, Herbert French, the 16-year-old son of J. H. French, of 1264 Topeka avenue, was sent home from Polk school by his teacher for an excuse for being absent a day or two previous. No trace was found of him by his parents, although vigorous efforts to learn of his whereabouts were made. He had, however, not left the city, but had kept himself in seclusion, and after thinking the matter over decided to re turn home and face the wrath of a stem father rather than to run away and ac cept the chances of occasionally se curing a decent meal and face the hardships of a roving life. As a result of his deliberations he re turned home last night, and this morn ing he was taken back to school by his father. New Minister at Constantinople; Constantinople, March 20. John O.

Perhaps They Know theHig-hwaymen and Perhaps They Do Not Another highway robbery occurred In Topeka last night. They are becoming very common. This time it was James Patterson who lives on North Van Btiren street. He was held up and robbed of $S In money by two negroes at 11 o'clock last night in front of the Chris tian church in orth Topeka. The netrroes put a gun in his face and then went through his pockets. He had been at a dance at Barrett's hall and was on his way home w hen the robbers stopped him. He offered no resistance for he saw that it would be useless. The police think they know who did the work but they have not found the men. It may be the man who is re sponsible for the case of infanticide or the. man who held up Ahkeny or the man who robbed the Singer sewing ma chine office they are not sure. THE EXl'lUING THANKS. Kansas Exposition Company Grateful With Latest Breath. The board of directors of the Kansas Semi-Centennial Exposition company at their last meeting in P. O.

That the heartfelt thanks of the directors of the Kansas Exposi tion association are most gratefully ten dered to the. many nesvspapers of Kansas that have given our effort to bring to pass in l'Mi an exposition worthy of our state so much of earnest, enthusiastic and loyal support. We realize that while we have fallen far short of the purpose hoped for, the newspapers of Kansas have, as a rule, been in sympathy with our undertaking and have ungrudgingly given it every encouragement." NEARLY ALL RENEWED. Bonds Fixed Up in the District Court It was found that not so many bonds were forfeited in the district court yes terday as was thought.

The bonds of Caroline Hercules, charged with larceny, and Pert Parker, charged with burglary. They were for Sr.OO each. jnTilE'TIIAN SHE COULD EAT From the Chicago Chronicle. Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, 1s a gallant man at all times, and is especial ly so when he encounters a woman in distress. Some time ago, when the Na tional Convention of the Woman's Chris tian Temperance I'nion was in session, one of the California delegates, an elder ly woman, went into a restaurant, look ed the bill of fare over carefully and or- f "Hnw m:rtv"" t;k-trt tit wftifeT. "Oh," she said, remembering the dimin utive oyster of California, "I guess a dozen and a half wiil do." The waiter lifted his eyebrows, but took the order back to the kitchen. In due time he appeared with an enormous platter full of fried oysters each half as iaree as a man's head. The California woman nearly fainted. "Take them away," she gasped. "I never, never ordered that great mass of food "That's a dozen and a half fried oys ters, ma'am," the waiter replied. There was some hysterical but vain argument on the part of the delegate from California. She was told she w-ould have to pay for the oysters, but she needn't eat them unless she chose to do so. Just then Senator Spooner came in and sat down at the next table. The Woman's Christian Science Temperance Union deleuate. almost in tears, leaned over and asked imploringly: "Oh, sir, do you like fried oysters?" Senator Spooner started. "I have eaten them, madam," he replied with dignity. "Then piease buy these; please, please do." "But," said the senator, laughing. "I never eat them now, for I find they pro mote indigestion." The woman exhibited her white ribbon badge and implored again: "Oh, you haven't eaten anything yet; please buy these." "Well, I'll buy them, but I assure you, madam, I do not contract to eat them." And he paid the check, while the dele gate from California almost ran out of the restaurant. KILLS WIFE WITH RIFLE. Kentuckian Fires With Fatal Effect From a Distance of 100 Tards. Cairo. 111.. March 2f. Henry Eddington enme down fr m Pnducah. Ky., yesterday afternoon for the express purpose of kill insr his wife, and succeeded fn accomp lishing his mission. His wife had left Padueah several days tnefore a.s cook fo a family making a. trip down the river in a houseboat. Eddinaton came down on a steamboat in search of her. and called on the police to protect hint in his interview wiin hi wife. As he was armed with a Winches ter rifle, the officers required him to leave it at headquarters. The interview wa apparently unsn i i-f aetory .an.l he return-'d to the station saying he would' leave town. Securing: his pun, he went back to the boat about dark and, seeing his wdfft standing in the how, fired at her from a distance of l' yards, killing her instantly. Then, leaping into a skirl, he escaped to Kentucky. FOREIGN WOMAN VOTE. Mrs Sheldon, tfca SuiTrai?1. t, Ti.rks H ey Shon j. O.'fer Their Hallot Mrs. Li:':e .vho, it will ie i'eir.cnib..-j'( J. s'l Jaw j industriously in the state libr-ut y so:n- time ago, da ciaies the attorney i.r nral is wrens' con certing the foreign woman vote in To peka "If he is correctly reported," says she, "lis opinion is 'that the wife of a for eigner, who has taken out his first nat uralization papers only, is not entitie.1 to vote at municipal elections,' although 'the law says, men who have taken out their first papers may vote." "Re rests his opinion it seems on the status of the wife as to naturalization. "Generally speaking, the law of the cit izenship of the wife is that 'the status of the iiusliarid is the statti3 of the wife.' In ihe matter of naturalization, the de claration cf the husband to become a citizen, if made in accordance with the law of the "United States, iusures to the benefit of the wife. "Section 5!1SS of the Revised Statutes of the Pnited States is to this effect. 'When any alien who has complied with the first condition specified in section tw.-r.ty-ont' hundred and sixty-five die3 before he is actually naturalized, tl:e widow and the children of such alien shah be considered as citizens of the United States and shall be. entitled to all rights and privileges as such, upon tak ing ihe oaths prescribed by Jaw.' It is cleat from this that the wife is ad varced toward citizenship by the act of the husband declaring his intention to become a citizen just as far as he is himself. ".'.s to the qualifications of the wife if the husband be living, the supreme court of the United Sta'ics has said that it was only necessary that the woman should be a person of the class or race permit ted to be naturalized by existing laws, and that In respect to the qualifications arising out of the conduct or opiniors, beirg the wife of a citizen, she is regard ed as qualified for citizenship and there fore considered a citizen.' That is to say, the husband's qualifications inure to he benefit also, and whatever the federal lac and courts say about naturalization 'goes' in Kansas. 'This opinion of the attorney general reminds me of one rendered two yeats ago as to the right cf women to vote for the candidate for judge of the court of Topeka. His opinion was that it would be illegal for women to vote for the oifi cer of this court for the reason that it was a township office, and that lie would bt- a township, officer. When the question whether the judge of the cHy court "was a township officer or not reached the supreme court Mr. Oodard was not sustained in his opinion, and the necessary inference is that the women had a-right to vote for such candidate. "While I think the attorney general was right in that case, and the supreme court was wrong in its decision, it shows that the proper thing for the wo rn er to do. is to go to the polls and of fer to vote, and, if the vote is rejected, to enter a protest, so that the candidate for whom they wish to vote many have the legality of their vote decided by the COUl t. "I think the attorney general is wrong in his opinion this time, but the supreme court may not sustain him and the wo men may, unnecessarily lose their votes if they abide by his opinion.".

The council meeting Monday night 'will be a busy one and will probably keep the members until a late hour unless they adjourn to hear the concert by the Marine band. There will be a great deal of routine business and some special business. The principal thing which will be con sidered, or, at least, which will be brought before the council will be the question relative to the park located be tween Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Fillmore ajid Clay streets. For some time the establishment of thi3 park has been a question before the park board and the city council. The people who live in that neighborhood decided that they wanted a park at that location and they raised money and bought equities on the land. A mortgage -for S'0,000 was given by them and was assumed by the city. The city abeady owns a small part of the land which is on Thirteenth street and they have had the street commissioner fill a deep guliy on that part. There are a few lots in tie tract which are not under control of the city and they will condemn these lots. The last legislature was not kind to cities of the first class and passed very little legislation which was of benefit to them, but they did pass the bill allowing cities of the lirst class to create benefit districts for park purposes and the city now proposes to do that in the case of the park in question. There are six lots at the corner of Thirteenth and Fillmore which belong to Mr. Quinton and one lot on the corner of Fifteenth and Clay which belongs to the street car company. These are the lots which the city will condemn. The street car company is willing to give the lot they have to the city for the benefit of the park, but they can not do so without the censent of the stockholders of the company. It will be condemned and will be assessed so low that it wiil cost the city very liitle. The lots b,' longing to Mr. Quinton will be assessed at actual value and the city will pay for them. The street car track cuts both corners of the park. but they have agreed to move the track so that it will not in terfere with the park in any way. The park commission and the people who live in the neighborhood are pushing the matter and all of thecouncil are in favor of it, so there is little danger that it will not go through. There is some objection by people who object to the increase of taxes which the completion of the park will cause, but they are in the minority and the chances seem to be that the city wil! get the park and will gradually beautify ic. The benefit district which will be as sessed for the. park fund will be all of that part of the city lying west of Kan sas avenue and south of Tenth street. This is the present talk concerning the park, but the council may change it. The complaints will come before the council and will be heard and consid ered either Monday night or Friday night. The present council is anxious to complete the deal for .the park and put it in such shape that the patk com mission can go ahead with its work in making it a pretty place. The present council started the deal and. as they will know more of it than the next council will, they will try to rush it through. The entire cost to the city for the big tract will not be more than $12,000. LUNATIC AT WORK. Causes Destruction of Pottery "Plant by Fire. Akron, March 2S. The Diamond Pot tery plant was totally destroyed by fire last night. The fire originated in waste soaked in oil placed in various parts of the building. A well dressed man was noticed loitering about the place some time before the fire started. Earlier in the evening an attempt was made to dynamite the pottery of the Robinson Merrill company. The watchman dis covered sticks of dynamite tdaced in various parts of the main building be fore the fuses had been ignited. At other factories oil soaked waste was found in various sections of the buildings. The police believe a lunatic is doing the work. HALF ST A It K APPEALS. Cost Him $86.45 to Take His Case Up.

Bert Roehr disappeared Tuesday eve ning and has not been seen nor heard of since. Mr. Roehr was a clerk at Warren M. Crosby's store. He left the store Tues day evening at the usual time and went to the store of his brother. W. F. Roehr, the music dealer, and told him that he would not be home for supper. He was seen again at the Crosby store when he went for a bundle which was under one of the counters. He left no word that he was going away and the only trace that can be found of him Is that he was seen at the Rock Island depot early in the evening. Mr. Roehr is a young man of excellent reputation, of a quiet and industrious disposition and no reason can be assigned for h!s disappearance. He was dressed in a Its-lit colored soft hat. a gray checked suit, a dark gray raglan overcoat, very Ions. Ke is about 5 feet 10 inches in height, slender and weiehs about 140 pounds.

Santel mann this week during the tour of the United States Marine band have accent ed his especial fitness in addition to his riusical attainments to be at the head of our national band. In Cincinnati, when presented with a iiag, the leader did not say a word in reply, but turn ing to his splendid body of musicians, waved his baton, and "The Star Spangled Banner" spoke the band's ac knowledgment. A pretty act in In dianapolis Wednesday is described in part by the Indianapolis Journal thus: Surrounded by .a thousand citizens, the body of the lata Gen. Benjamin Harrison, now lying in a sepulcher of stone at the foot of classic Crown Hill, was paid a beautiful tribute yesterday afternoon by the United States Marine band, which during General Harrison's term of official life in the national cap ital furnished the music for high gov ernmental functions. This band was greatly liked by the ex-president, who rarely missed one of its concerts. The distinguished man was personally ac quainted with Lieut. Wm. H. Santel mann, director of the band, and Lieut. Santelmann felt moved to pay a last tribute of respect to his dead friend and eminent patron by causing the band to play appropriate airs over the grave. A solemn hush fell over the assembled multitude when the seventy-four splen did looking men, clad in light blue fa tigue uniforms, wearing white belts and regulation forage caps, marched with solemn, martial tread to the Harrison lot and then countermarched so as to bring them in a position immediately facing the monument. Without a word the leader waved his baton and the ad mirably drilled body of musicians gave forth the entrancing melody of "The Star Spangled Banner." played with fitting modulation. When the last sweet strains of the patriotic number had died away the familiar notes of "Rock -of Ages" floated out on the crisp air and the people assembled stirred involun tarily as thev remembered that this was one of General Harrison's favorite hymns. Then came the closing selec tion. "Xearer. my God. to Thee," ren-dere-d so exquisitely that it seemed in deed a harmonic prayer. At the con clusion of this number the band left the cemetery at once and took cars for the city. Twice as large an audience as had before been in Tomlinson hall for a con cert greeted the band in Indianapolis. So tremendous was the band's success that twenty-three numbers in all were given, when but nine were on the pro gramme. Miss Amy Whaley, soprano, and Jean B. H. Moeremans, saxophonist, who are also the soloists here next Menrlay night, had to give three selec tions each before they were allowed to go. The great sale of seals for the band's engagement at the Auditc-rium Monday night indicates people here are favor able to big attractions at moderate prices. Such a success will help to se cure great entertainments for the city. Some chairs are still to be had. A LARGE FORCE. Japan Will Increase Her Army in China 50 Per Cent. Tokio, March 29. The newspapers here say it is proposed to relieve the Japanese troops in the Chinese province of Pe Chi Li by a force EO per cent, stronger. Although May is the usual month in which the relief of the force at Seoul takes place, the relief of the troops there will take place immediately. Three officers of the headquarters staff will also proceed to Corea. These movements with the activity at the arsenals is taken to point to the adoption of a strong policy by Japan. A MODUS VIVEJfDL That is What Russian Occupation of Manchuria is Now Called. AVashington, March 29. It is stated on excellent Russian authority that the Manchurian convention has from the first been regarded simply as a modus vivendi. It was this pha.se cf the sub ject which Count Cassini brought to the attention of Secretary Hay yesterday, and simultaneously it appears to have been impressed upon the minds of the British officials, as Lord Lansdowne an nounced to the house of lords that the convention viewed as a modus vivendi might not present the objections here tofore held against it. The Russian au thorities at Washington have all along construed the convention as a modus vivendi, although Count Cassini has now made this rather plainer to Secre tary Hay. It is explained that the term modus vivendi. as applying to the pres ent convention, means that abnormal conditions have arisen in Manchuria, and that normal conditions can best be restored by means of a modus. The chief purpose of the modus, it is explained would be to provide for" the eva uation of Manchuria by the Russian troops as their presence is part of tn- abnormal conditions brought by the dis turbances. But with these forces with drawn Russia expects that assurances will be given that quiet will be maintain ed and that the former normal cenditior wil be in fact restored. When the old state of things is thus restored it is the Russian view that the modus vivendi will cease to operate as its purpose w dl have been secured of correcting the ab normal conditions brought about by the Chinese outbreak and the dispatch of a large Russian force to different points in the province. It is said that the integrity of China wdll be complete ly preserved and that nothing in the na ture of a Russian protectorate or suz erainty wdll exist. Xeither the Russian ambassador nor the Chinese minister ha.s received any word as to the final action on the con vention. The Chinese minister was 3t the state department trday baying re turned from a three days' visit to Xew Y'otk. He is without advices however, since the last dispatch from the south ern viceroys, expressing the hope that the United States will induce Russia not to press the convention. In some diplo matic quarters it is pointed out that tl.e modus vivendi implies that Ru.sia has certain distinct territorial rights in Manchuria and that it in no way miti gates the character of the convention.

Author's Club of New York Remem ber Absent Members. New York, March 29. Each year it is customary for the Authors club to have upon some designated evening- a memor ial .neeting for such members of the club as have died during the year preceding. Last night tribute was paid to the mem ories of Charles Dudley Warner, Stephen Crane, Professor Moses Colt Tyler ar.d ex-Postmaster General William 1 il son Among the members present were E. C. Stedman, Richard H. Stoddard, ex Minister Oscar S. Straus and George Haven Putnam. Mr. Putnam, spoke of Moses Colt Tyler. In his eulogy upon Charles Dudley Warner, Edward S. VanZile said thac the striking characteristic about his worn was its peculiarly American spirit. A eulogy prepared by Ripley Hitchcoc't was read by Rossiter Johnson, the club's secretary. Its subject was Stephen Crane. It quoted from a letter written by Crane to Mr. Hitchcock, in which the writer referred to New York as having muddled him. Its admiration had made him a jibbering- idiot. He said: "The 'Red Badge' is no great shake3. The violet story is quiet but let it go." Ex-Minister Oscar S. Straus read a eulogy upon William L.Wilson, who was postmaster general under Cleveland. NEIGHBORHOOD QUAKHEL. Time and Money Spent in Trying to Straighten It Out A neighborhood quarrel was the cause of a packed police court Thursday after noon. The case was the state against Wesley Ira, Don and Harry Wellman. It turned out that two boys who live near Jackson and Finney streets had a fight over a ball game and the entire neighborhood took sides. Wesley Ira struck Walter Kerr and from that the trouble started. Many witnesses were examined and they all claimed their fees. When it became evident that there was little or nothing in the case it was dismissed. It is neighborhood quarrels which pile up expenses for the city. The police trv to keep them out of the court on that account, but frequently a case similar to the one tried yesterday will get in. "WOULDN'T TAKE MONEY. J. A. Lester Shows Populist That He Didn't Sell Out Evidently J. A. Lester, the Barber county fusionist, who gave up his seat in the house to W. C. Millar, Repub lican, without a contest, could not en dure the imputations of his party breth ren that he had laid down and sold out. The election committee recommended that Lester be allowed his mileage and expenses, aggregating $37, and Auditor Cole sent him the warrant. The war rant came back today with a note say ing that he could not accept the money. The association of grafters is shocked that any man, should refuse money from the state. Lester had but two votes more than Millar on the face of the returns. He filed a demurrer to the seat. The two Populist members of the elections com mittee filed a minority report against paying Lester the allowance given him by the Republicans, which has resulted in his unparalleled action of refusing the donation.

And Coffee will Do You Good and Brown, if You are Highly Organized. It Is remarkable how persistently men or women will stick to a drug through thick and thin, even after they become convinced that the drug is slowly killing them. This is illustrated thousands of times every day. A sample case Is that of F. L. Wolford, of Columbus, O., who says that all his life, since a boy when he be gan drinking coffee, he has been any thing but robust, or even in what might be termed good health. He has tried all sorts of drugs and tonics, and consulted many doctors. He quit tobacco, avoid ed all intoxicating drinks, stopped eating pastry, and took life easy as far as work was concerned, but the same old trouble continued and he could not get well. He stuck to the coffee because he said "I could not do without it. The climax came just about a year ago. I -went all to pieces with nervous prostration, neu rasthenia and insomnia. The physician absolutely demanded that I cease drink ing coffee, and put me on Postum Food Coffee. I very much disliked to think that I must take something in place of coffee, but to my surprise I found that poptum was so delicious and so exactly iifce first class Java coffee in taste, that I got on with it very well. After a fe,v days I began, to notice that I craved Postum as much as I had the old coffee, and the longer I. Use Postum the more satisfied I become with it, un til today I look upon Postum as the 'real thing' and the ordinary coffee as the 'substitute.' I would not give one cup of Postum for all the coffee that grows in Central America, not only as a drink, but for what it has done for my health. I have built up again until I am in better health than I ever was, and owe the entire praise to Postum. It is simply a case of leaving off a poison and using a health ful foo-d drink, containing powerful ele ments of nutrition. Many among my own friends have quit coffee and begun using Postum Food Coffee. Richard Wilhelm. S23 E. Main St., and his wife, both suffered from dyspep sia, but were cured by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. James Neukamp, a grocer on E. Ful ton St.. had liver complaint. He has been greatly benefited by leaving off coffee and taking Postum. I can give you the names of a number of others who have either been entirely cured or greatly benefited by the use of Posturo Be to Your See Our Line and Get J leading ladies. The supporting company is more than adequate. The prices will be 25, 50, 75 and $1. There are only two band masters in the world who bear the honors and title of lieutenants, these are Lieut. Dan God frey of England (now retired), and Lieur. Wm H. Santelmann, of our own Ma rin.? band In Washington. For one hun dred years the band leader at Washing ton had to be satisfied with the simple title of chief musician of the Mar'ne cores, but by act of congress in Marci.. 1S9?, Leader Santelmann was made a firs', lieutenant. Not only was he thU3 honjred, but the band was increased in number to 74 men, and the pay of all verv largely Increased ,so that the su perior band that the official frienda of good music had labored for so many yeais was at last made possible. The very best of musical talent has conse quently become possible, and the United States Marine band of today, which is the President's White House band and the National Band of America, is with out question the foremost band of t.;e whole world. The band will be at t'.ie Auditorium Monday night. IN TIIE PHILIPPINES. A Protestant Episcopal Diocese to Ba Established. New Tork, March 29 Having been au thorized to do so by the Church club, George MacCuIloch Miller, the president of the club, announces the names of the members of a committee which will seek to enlist support for a movement to have a Protestant Episcopal diocese establish ed in the Philippines. The personnel of the committee is: Beverly Chew, John H. Cole, George S. Bowdoin, Colonel William Jay, Silas McBee, Captain Alfred T. Mahan. Henry Lewis Morris, Charles Steele, Francis Lynde Stetson, J. Howard VanAmrlnge and George S. Zabriskie. Mr. Miller will be an ex-offlcio member of the committee which he says will communicate with Protestant Episcopal clubs in about twenty cities of the United States in behalf of the proposed diocese. The committee may make a recommendation at the general Protest ant Episcopal convention in San Fran cisco, in October, and the convention mav decide to establish the diocese. Mr. Miller hoped the clubs would become in terested in the movement to such an ex tent that a fund for the support of the diocese would be raised. Such a fund would enable the church to establish the diocese without drawing upon his mis sionary funds. IN A RAILWAY DEAL. Whisky Trust Officials Slake a Mys terious Move. Chicago, March 29.

WAY OUT OF MUDDLE. Agricultural College Regents Ques-. tion Solved by Attorney General. The legislature made a mess of chang ing the board of regents of the 'am Agricultural college so that the presi dent, ex-officio, should be a member it the board, because on Wednesday th-i governor discovered that the new hw repealed the old law and did not pro vide for the immediate appointment f a full board. The attorney general's office found a way out of the dlflieulty and recommended it to tie governor. V that appointments can be made that will hold under either the old law or tha new law. Assistant Attorney General J. S. v et solved the Chinese puzzle. In his opin ion he ruled that the four regents named by the governor a few weeks ago fr I. Coburn, J. S. McDowell. R. J. Brook and Senator S. J. Stewart were not legally appointed, and that the governor should name three out of the number and put the president of the college on to take the place of the fourth one. In order to straighten things out in ti future he ruled that the governor should also reappoint William Hunter. J. M. Satterthwaite and E. T. Fairt hilds for a period of two' years. Th se three were named two years aeo for four year terms. A reappointment under the new law would make things regular. Tw years from now the governor will, there fore, have three regents to appoint for a term of four years and three f r a term of two years, providing Governor Stanley follows the advice laid down iti the opinion of the attorney general ren dered today.
