Judges Pm'de on Question Standing Three to Four. EW ACTION BEGUN. Parker's Attorneys Commence Proceedings in (JuoWarranto. Ask For a Commission to Ke count the Ballots. IIow Mayor Hughes KeceiTed ews of Decision. The suprpmc court at 4:39 Tuesday af ternoon handed down the decision in the Parker-Hughes mandamus case, revers ing the decision of Judge Hazen and dis solving the order ot' the lower court com pelling the city council to recanvass the returns and issue a certiiicate to Albert Parker. This confirms the title of Col. J. W. F. Hughes to the office of mayor. This morninc Mr. Parker's attorneys commenced quo warranto proceedings in the supreme court which will bring a re count of the ballots. The decision of the supreme court is simply the announcement that the court has decided in favor of Col. Hughes. The written oDinion will be made by one of the justices later and handed down. The supreme court held that a man damus proceeding was not the proper action lor the attorneys for Parker to bring to oust Col. Hushes, who was de lacto mayor. The court did not go inlo the merits of tile case beyond that. The court simply decided that since Mr. Hughes holds the certiiicate of election from the canvassing board, the court can not go back of that under the proceedings brought before it. The vote of the supreme court was four to reverse the lower court and three to sustain. Justices Cunningham. Gr-en, Hi lls and Johnston voted to reverse tne lower court, and Chief Justice Lostt-r and Justices Smith and Pollock dissented by voting to sustain Judge Hazen. Attorneys T. p. poran, S. Ferry and O. C. Clemens riled the quo warranto case in the supreme court this morning. The petition asks that a commission bo appointed by the supreme court to re count anii recanvass th ballots of the city election and the supreme court has been asked to advance the case on the docket. It was thought by many that the proper action to have commt-nced at first was one that would secure a recount of the ballots ATTORNEY DORAS TALKS. In speaking the decision of the su preme court and the events following Attorney T. F. Doran said: "The Capital has been clamoring- for juo warranto ever since election and advising Mr. Parker to have the votes counted, but as sunn as Mr. Hughes gets the advantage U don"t want a recount and extends to Mr. Parker the invita tion of the snake to the frog-, "Just crawl down my throat and let us have union, harmony and peace.' HUGHES RECEIVES THE NEWS. Hears of His Victory Through, the State Journal. Col. Hughes was seated in his revolving easy chair at the mayor's office in the city building about 4:3l o'clock when he Was informed by telephone from the State Journal that he had won. The col onel was in his shirt sleeves, wearing a straw hat and filling: in the time of his office hours from 2 till 5 without a bobble. "Hel-lo!" shouted the colonel, as he stepped to the 'uhone. "The supreme court has just handed down a decision in your favor." was what went over the wirt; to the colonel. The colonel had been sitting with his feet on his desk, reading a concise his tory of the Fighting Twentieth Kansas. Just over the desk was a picture of tien. John A. Logan, on the other wall were pictures of several illustrious soldiers. The colonel basked in the vapor of so much militarism .iust as Aiitonv snooz-.! in the presence of his rioted tiueen of Egypt. hen he went to the telephone he had in his hand the Twentieth Kansas history nd a hunch of official looking docu ments, just for a bluff. When he heard the startling news he dropped evervthine The book nil with a thud and the docu ments were waited about the room. "How. how's that?" said the colonel. "The decision is in your favor." "Well, sir; yes. sir; ihar.k you. sir; but, ir. how do you know, sir?" shouted the colonel. When the colonel is excited he alwavs usep a good many "sirs." "The supreme court has said so," was the reply. "Welt, sir: yes. sir; I thank vou. sir; come down and see me. sir." shouted the colonel with that good old southern ac cent that mellows his sottlv modulated tones until they are musical. The next thins the colonel did was to sit oown and pass his right hand through lus hair. Then he took from its resting Place his old time silver plated tobacco box. and from the innermost recesses of r.is wardrobe he produced some cigarette papers. He proceeded to roll an insid ious rice paper cigarette. By that time his informant from the frfale Journal office had arrived at the mayors oltice to see if the citv's chief executive had 'nine up under the shock. "Well, sir: by Ceorge. sir;" said the co' cmel. as he extended his right hand of lellowship mill the tobacco box. "I'm right glad to see yer: yes I am. Step in, sir. In the meantime Albert Parker's attor neys and Judge Hazen had been notified from the State Journal office of the oV cision, and the news had been bulletined uiu was commencing to scatter over the city. Puring tf!e excitement attending the first news of victorv the colonel had been drawing on his cigarette like an old time wood burning locomotive He r.iii.,.1 a second, with that calm dexteritv which has marked him as a roller of no mean ability. Then congratulations commenced to ar rive. James K. Larimer was there, lie is a. Kentuckian. and the colonel is from sunnv Tennessee. They gave ea'h other tne Dixie handshake. "Jim, did yer hear?" shouted the colonei in glee, as his cigarette dropped two points toward where Santa Fe common went last week. "Yes." said Uirimer, looking at his hand which had disappeared in the big ri"ht sword hand of the colonel s and wo'Uler lng if he would get it all back. "I heard you won." "That s right. Where is J. B. Lari mer "In Texas." '"Telegraph him. sir: right awav. sir" Then the telephone rang. "Hel-lo!" shouted the colonel as he rolled his eyes toward the picture of Gen Ixtan. "Yes, sir: thank you. sir:" this was all the conversation as heard at the end where the colonel was. "Who is this?" "Yes, all right: thank you. sir." and the colonel hung up the receiver in time to greet Election Commissioner Williams "Colonel, you'll have to stop smoking cigarettes." said Williams. "Weil, er, ah got a match?" said the colonel. "You. promised, if elected, to quit ciea UV il Wuliams. "Yes. sir: yes. sir, said the colonel. Then the telephone again followed by a delegation of curbstone politicians who never had any idea of a job but just wanted to congratulate) the colonel. They were rather awkward and had nothing to say. btit just walked into the room with their right hand extended. The colonel grasped them all in turn, gave each a good, hard wrench and at tiie same time saying in anticipation of what the delegation should have said: "Yes. sirs: than you. sirs; I am. much obliged to you. sirs: good afternoon, sirs," and bowed them out of the door. Then the telephone1 again. "HePlo!" again shouted the colonel. He leaned close to the 'phone and but toned his vest with his disengaged hand. "Yes. madarn," he said in a gentle, un dulated speaking voice (not the voice he uses in commanding the Kansas National J card j. "I thank you. madam." he said, and bowed as low in front of the telephone as ever Lord Chesterfield dared to in a pair of tight trousers. "You won't have a chance to ride with the president after all," said a politician coming in the office as the colonel hung up tile receiver. "Why. eh?" gasped the colonel, and he reached for his cigarette. He was afraid the supreme court had reversed itself. "Why. no: the president is not com ing." was tile reply. "Ohl" said the colonel, rather faintly, with a smile. The shock had been se vere. "Pot's go fishing," he said to a friend in the room. "When?" "Oh. ritht soon. I'll have to hide out tomorrow: there will be so many peoplo up here. I suppose there will be a del egation out to the house tonight" Then the telephone bell rang. "Hel-lo!" shouted the colonel for the thirty-eighth time. Kverybody in town wanting a. job and a few others were con gratulating him. "No. sir; don't know till I consult my attorneys." said the colonel. "Not going to appeal, are you?" asked soine one in the room. "No. but I don't know whether I will make any appointments until I consult my attorne: s." said the colonel, as he felt in his vest pocket to see if he had the list of appointments which he made last night. Then he rolled another cigarette. CLEMENS MAKES COMMENTS. Thinks That Appointments Made Are Not Valid. G. C. Clemens thinks that the appoint ments and confirmations, made by Col. Hughes and the council last night are not legal as the order of the supreme court restraining the mayor defacto and. council from appointing and confirming holds for 20 days after the decision of the supreme court. The attorneys will probably file a pe tition for a rehearing of the case in mandamus as soon as the written opin ion is handed down. Mr. Ciemens says: "Consistency does not seem to figure in the inventory of Jewels lugged around by the Law and Order people. A city administration pledged to force the bibulous and other wise wicked portion of the community to be good, should not itself set an ex ample of iiagrernt law-breaking, as Hughes and the council did last night. The making- and confirmation of ap pointments last night was just as much a violation of the supreme court's order and just as much a contempt of that court as similar conduct would have been a week ago. The court rendered its usual judgment of reversal, but un der the court's rules that judgment has no effect for about 30 days, and mean time the stay order and the order as to apiMiintments remain in full force and effect. Whether proceedings for con tempt will be brought against thc mayor and council is a matter we have under consideration. We may not pro ceed that way but simply wait and have all these appointments declared void because made in direct violations of a Judicial order forbidding- them. This game is not out yet. He laughs best who lauerns la'-t. "If the published reports are correct as to the ia-sis of the majority decision, I arn lost in admiration, I like sublime courage Napoleonic audacity ;and there can be no question as to the courage or audacity of judges who decide that a recanvass cannot be compelled if a cer tificate has been issued. Such a decis ion would be the first of its kind in the whole wide world and would defy all the decisions ever made hitherto. I don't believe the decision went on any such ground. If it did ,1 worship henceforth at the shrine of the four brave judges who had the courage to strike for them selves a pathway all thrir own." GET ORDER FOR BALLOTS. Attorneys Clemens and Doran ap peared before the supreme court this morning to bring a nuo w arranto- case. The court sat in chambers and admitted the case into court. An order was immediately issued, re turnable in three days, ordering City Clerk Snuires to tie up and seal all the ballots, ballot books- and tally sheets in connection with the city election and deliver them to the clerk of the supreme court and Sheriff Cook will sf rve it. The defendants are given 20 days to answer and at the end of that time the attor neys for Albert Parker will petition the supreme court to advance the case and to name a commission to count the bal lots and canvass the entire election. This will probably fce ordered some time; in June and will be completed before the supreme court takes a two months' va cation August 1. THEY MEMl BUSINESS.

SILK FLAG FOR M'KINLEY. San Franesieo, May 22. The reception to President McKinley by the Knights Templar was the feature of the presi dential programme for today. The re ception, which was held in Mechanics' pavilion, was preceded "by a parade of Knights from all parts of the state. General W. H. L. Barnes presided at the pavilion and introduced the guests of the day, his address being highly el oquent. A chorus of 150 Knights chan ted the Lord's prayer. President Mc Kinley responded with a soul stirring speech after which nearly 12,000 voices sang "Amtrlea" to the waving of flags. President McKinley will receive as a souvenir of the occasion a handsome silk flag enclosed in a case of morocco. The flag will be mounted on a staff rf manzanita wood, finished at both ends in solid gold, one end being in the form of a spear head and the other the em blem of the order. TALKS TO CHILDREN. The President Held TJp For a Speech in the Streets. San Francisco, May 22. President McKinley addressed 50,000 school child ren in this city yesterday. He was greeted with cheers as he arose. The president spoke briefly, saj ing in part: "I desire in a single moment to ex press the pleasure which has been given me to meet the 4n,000 school children of the city of San Francisco. It has given me an introduction into the countless homes of your great city and has per mitted me to witness the sunshine which this vast number of young peo ple bring to the firesides of the city. I know of no richer possession than great scholarship, no nobler ambition than to obtain it. We can not all be great scholars, but we can all have good scholarship. I want to assure you young people that there is nothing so essentia) to your early advancement and success in future life as a good education. "If those of us who have battled in the rivalries and contentions in a busy world "could go back to our youth and school days, we would embrace cheer fully our neglected opportunities and pursue them with industry and delight. If the testimony of the active men of San Francisco and of the country could be taken it would be uniform in the de claration of the embarrassments under which they had suffered from scanty mental training in youth. "Nothing has given me more pleasure in my long trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific than the scene which we have witnessed here this morning, (applause! every child waving the flag of our faitn and our hope and every little heart fill ed with the love of country. (Great ap plause). Why an army for liberty and union and civilization? (Great applause) Why we have in the public schools of the United States four fold more child ren than there were people when this government was founded (applause) and all of them proud of their country and all of them enjoying its institutions and all of them meaning when the time comes for them to take the responsibili ties of administration they wdll be pre pared to do their duty and pass along this fiee government with ever increas ing virtue, intelligence and patriotism. (Enthusiastic applause). "I thank you and wish for all of you the realization of every worthy ambi tion." (Great applause). After reviewing the school children President McKinley and party drove to the Presidio. Gen. Shafter and mem bers of his staff were on hand to wel come the commander-in-chief, and f-e was escorted about the grounds ;nd shown the campa where thousands of volunteers going to and coming from the Philippines have been quartered, as well as the camps of the regulars. The convalescence o" Mrs. McKinley is very rapid and she is fast regaining her normal strength. She is able to sit up and read the papers. So marked is her improvement that it is very proba ble that the presidential party will start for Washington next Saturday. If no developments should occur it is thought that Mrs. McKinley will be able to en dure the journey by that time. BUT 40,000 OUT. Number of Strikers Reduced by Concessions Granted. Monster Parade Planned by Cin cinnati Machinists. Washington, May 22. President O'Connell, of the International Associa tion of Machinists, estimates that the number of machinists engaged in the strike today ,is 40.000. He claims to be satisfied with the situation and has con fidence in the result. "By next Monday morning," he said, "probably 90 per cent, of the men who went out will be back at work with their demands granted. The other 10 per cent, are mostly on the Pacific coast and in several 0hio cities. San Francisco is the only place where we lock for a protracted strike. The situa tion there is good, and the strike may cover several weeks. No important de velopments are reported at Cincinnati, though about fifteen small firms have signed the agreements. The situation also is unchanged at Hamilton, Dayton and Aliance, Ohio, and at Tacoma and Seattle, Wash. "Reports from all other sections indi cate that negotiations are progressing and that agree.nents are in sight." President Mulholland. of the Allied Metal Trades association, comprising the semi-skilled men in machine shops, has notified the machinists' headquart ers here that he is ready to order out his men whenever the latter body deems it necessary. The strike leaders, however, do not care to involve any more men in the movement than is necessary, and the indications are that there will be no general augmentation of the force of the strikers by the allied men. Kansas City advices indicate that none of the firms there signed today, leaving approximately 300 men still out. All of the fourteen firms in Ho boken. N. J., have signed. In Buffalo twenty-two firms are reported as hav ing made agree.nents with the strikers. At Sharon, Pa., the Continental Iron company has signed, and the Hazelton Iron works and tne Janesville Iron works at Hazelton, Pa., have made the concessions. Mr. O'Connell will attend the confer ence at New York tonight between dis trict No. 2. National Meal Trades asso ciation, the employers' organization, and district No. 15 of the machinists' association. San Francisco, May 22. The strike situation in this city remains practical ly unchanged. A few additions to the ranks of the strikers have been made by the walkout of a number of mold ers. The strikers are very orderly and slow no signs of weakness. The man agers are emphatic in their statement that they will not give in to the strik ers. Cincinnati, May 22 Final plans were made at a monster mass meeting today for a parade of striking machinists and their sympathizing fellow strikers. The parade will start at 2 p. m.. and is ex pected to have 5,000 men in line. Out of compliment to' non-union strikers, the machinists will not wear the badge of their organization, but all will wear white ribbons, typifying peaceful pur poses. What purports to be an official statement shows that 59 plants are in volved in the strike here and that the total number of strikers is 6,772. The manufacturers have not yet formulated their plans nor made any public state ment, though they hold daily meetings at their headouarters. New York, May 22 The strike of the machinists of the Central railway of New Jersey continues and begins to have the appearance of a lock out. Men who applied for the vacancies at the Cc'tnraunipaw shows today were inform ed that the company did not at present care to hire any machinists to work in Jersey City. 13 SHOPS GIVE IN. Outlook For a Peaceful Solution of the Strike at Frisco. San Francisco, May 22. The ma chinists' strike in this city is attended with absolute order. The Fulton and McCormack iron works have been vir tually closed by the strike of the mold ers employed in those places. The molders in the other shops did not strike because they say the movement has not yet received the sanction of their national body in Cincinnati. Bishop Nichols, of the Episcopal church, at the request of the labor leaders, called on Henry T. Scott, pres ident of the Union Iron works. Capt. W. H. Taylor, president of the Risdon Iron works, and one or two of the employers w ith a view to arbitration, but his mis sion was unsuccessful. Secretary Wisler. who represents the International Association of Machinists, states that no shops were unionized yesterday, although it was the hope of the men concerned in the strike that such a result might be obtained. So far thirteen shops have agreed to the demands of the workmen. "We have been in conference," said Secretary Wisler, "and the results indi cate a peaceful solution of the diffi culty." Henry T. Scott, of the Union Iron works, freely discussed the strike situ ation. He expressed, he said, the views of the executive committee, which is looking atfer the interests of the em ployers, who are ready and willing to hold a conference with the men who are employed by the Union Iron works or other places affected. "We are not bound to build the ar mored cruiser California and the South Dakota at our yards," he said. "It is possible for us to have both ships built at the Bath, Cramps, Newport News or a dozen other shipyards where the men have not gone out on a strike. The strike may result in the govern ment withholding contracts for ships." Cool Weather Continues. The weather bureau has at last given up announcing fair weather and now admits, after three days of clouds, that the skies may be rather dull looking. Today's forecast is "partly cloudy with probably local showers tonight and east portion Thursday." Today's maximum temperature was G3 and the minimum 54. The wind has been southwest blow ing ten miles an hour. HUG'S CLOSE CALL Edward Nearly Meets Heath on Lipton's Yacht. Shamrock II Converted Into a Mass of Wreckage. STRUCK BY A SQUALL AH Her Masts and Bowsprit Broken Off Short. All on Board Passed Through Danger Unhurt. Southampton, May 22. The cup chal lenger, with King Edward and a party on board, was totally dismasted today by a squall off Cowes, Isle of Wight. The king, who was on deck, had a miraculous escape. The topmast main mas': and bowsprit were broken short off. Ryde, Isle of Wight, May 22. The yachts were sent today reaching over a triangular course similar to one of the America's cup series. The entrance in to the race of the yawl Sybarita, about 98 feet over all, added to the interest taken in the contest, especially as tiie fresh weather and reaching course were both in favor of the yawl, placing the captains of the two Shamrocks under the necessity of driving their boats at full speed in order to make any credit able showing against the outsider and promising King Edward, who was on board the Erin an opportunity of wit nessing what promised to be tne smartest race of the series. There was a fine easterly breeze driv ing a short white tipped sea up the chan nel, when the three yachts set their club top sails shortly after noon and pro ceeded to the starting point. The wind freshened considerably and blew 12 to 13 knots an hour, with the prospect of magnificent racing. King Edward, desiring to take a more active part in' the proceedings than was possible from the deck of the Erin, was taken on board the challenger, accom panied by Sir Thomas Lipton and two ladies. The preliminary starting signal was given from the Erin. While the yachts were maneuvering for the start, a squall came without the slightest warn ing and the bowsprit of the challenger was carried away short. The extra strain thus thrown on the top mast proved too much for the spar. It whip ped, broke and doubled off to leeward, carrying the whole weight of the jack yard and gear over the side in a terri ble tangle. Almost as the top mast fell, then great steel main mast, weighing more than two tons and carrying spars and gear weighing an additional three or four tons, swayed for a moment and then, almost by a miracle, plunged over the side and into the water with the sound of breaking wire and tearing gear in the air. The members of the royal party were seated on deck, close to the companion way. The king was showing keen pleasure watching the fight which Captain Syca more was making for the advantage at the start. The yacht was racing along at a formidable angle, and the sloping deck, with a mere frame rail, seemed a rather perilous place for the accommo dation of the visitors. As the wreckage swept the deck it was most astonishing that no one was injured. For a moment or two the sit uation appeared to be very grave. The king maintained his composure. Most of the head men went overboard. Within five seconds of the disaster the Shamrock I bore around to render assistance, when she in turn was caught by the squall and her gaff and topsails collapsed, leaving her helplessly crip pled. The press tug following the racers ran alongside the helpless yachts and a torpedo boat which was in the vi cinity and the Sybarita sent boats to the scene. But in answer to a hall. Captain Sycamore sent the reassuring message that all on board had escaped without injury. 1 As quickly as possible the king and the royal party were transferred to the Erin, and later the king, accompanied by Sir Thomas Lipton, landed at South ampton, from which place his majesty will proceed to London. In the meantime the crews of the racers set about clearing away the wreckage. Owing to the unwieldly na ture of the spars and gear it was found impossible to get them on board, and they were cut away and allowed to sink after buoys had been placed to mark the places where the wreckage sank. The yachts were then towed ba,ck to Hythe. there to await a decision as to what should be done towards repair ing them. NAMES OF CADETS Dismissed and Suspended From the West Point Academy.

May 22, A special to the Tribune from San Francisco says: An important meeting of the presi dent and his cabinet was held here yes terday at which messages from Corn- missioner Rockhill were considered and the Chinese indemnity problem dis cussed. The total demand of the powers amounts to 67,000.000 pounds, of which the American demand constitutes $25y, 000.000. Word was sent to Commissioner Rockhill to do his utmost to reduce the demands of the powers, and in order to show the good faith of this country to offer to cut the American indemnity one-half. The powers are demanding bonds bearing 6 per cent- interest. The United States, through the president and his cabinet, has instructed Com missioner Rockhill to accept bonds bearing 3 per cent, interest with no commission to agents for negotiating the bonds. There is some question as to the form of guaranty for the bonds. Some of the powers are demanding customs security. ISSUE TIIE BONDS City Attorney Spencer Says Nothing Is in the Way. City Attorney Spencer says that he thinks the council should now go ahead and issue the Santa Fe bonds. "There can be no possible legal objection to do ing so," says Mr. Spencer, "and I think it is the proper thing to do. The purchase of the Santa Fe lands should be de layed no longer." The sale of the bonds is In the hands of a joint committee of the council and the Commercial club. James S. Warner is chairman of the council committee. The quo warranto proceedings will not interfere with the issue of the bonds. The city building was a busy place this morning. Paving contractors were hurrying from one office to another, get ting their work planned out for the coming week; people hunting jobs were sitting in rows in Mayor Hughes' office, or standing in little knots in the corri dors; the new appointees were dropping in now and then to get their certificates of appointment, and take the oath of office. Mayor Hughes has declared that he will leave all the minor appointments to the heads of departments, and by this means is escaping from many of the office seekers. The only appointments of importance which the mayor has yet to make are city physician and members of the board of health. Mayor Hughes says that he did not appoint these offices last night because he wanted a little more time to think the matter over. THE CITY ATTORNEY'S APPOINT MENT. City Attorney Spencer is now consid ering the appointment of deputy city attorney, and will announce the ap pointment at the next meeting of the council, June 3. D. T. Gregg, who was deputy under Mr. Bird, has been holding over until Mr. Spencer was ready to make an appointment. He is an applicant for the position under Mr. Spencer. The other candidates are S. S. Urmy, H. W. Page and A. M. Thomas. JAMES M'CABE TAKES OFFICE. James McCabe, the new city engineer, will take charge of his office at once. P. L. Wise, the retiring engineer, says that he has not yet fully determined what he will do. He has three positions offered to him, and expects to decide within a few days what one he will ac cept. He may decide to take up the business of general contracting. He will probably retain his residence in Topeka. Mr. McCabe says that he expects to run the city engineer's office with one less employe than has been used. He will retain Ed Smith and W. S. Fulton, the present force, and make no further appointments at present. BURNED AND SCALDED. Number of Miners Injured by Explosion of a Boiler. Lisbon, O., May 22.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAT 22, 1901. SPORTIIIGJIEWS. Zlctiraw Objects to Being Out of the Game. CaltiraoreManager Claims John son Is Wrong. S E YE R E PUNISHMENT Not Justified For Slight Sass ing Given the Umpire. How Connie Mack Missed Get ting Pitcher 3Iathewson. Boston, Mass., May 22. "I do not know that I have anything particular to say about my suspension," Manager ileGraw of the BaItimore3 said -when eeen at the United States hotel this morning. "I have no reason to believe President Johnson has any grudge against me or is doing anything but v. hat he thinks is perfectly right. My whole trouble dates back to my encoun ter withUmplre Cantillon in Baltimore. He had been giving us rather the worst of it. and when i came to bat in tne eighth inning he gave me a rough deal on a couple of strikes. Now, I can tell when I an! getting what is coming to me and when I am not. I criticised Cuntiilon's umpiring and we had an ex change of words. I cracked out a three base hit and when 1 reached third I made some remark to Schmidt, who was coaching on the line. 1 did not know Cantillon was near me, but he heard tne. I suppose, and we had more words a.'tj I told him to go tu, etc. Well, it was me to the boneyard, and I suppose he had gome correspondence with irTesi dent Johnson, and the upshot is that I am out of the game for a few days. '"I had resolved to keep my temper and not allow myself to enter Into any altercation with the umpires. I was pro voked by the deal I was getting. The only thing I ask for is fair treatment. I want no favors, but I do not want to be singled out as a mark. I regret very much I have been debarred from play ing here, where I have so many friends, but will try to be in the game when the club gets here again. "I feel myself fortunate in having such a clever little substitute as Rone. Did you notice how he hit Friday? He is a Cinrinnatian and a good ball player. I also think very well of Bresnahan. We got him from the west. He came as a pitcher, but we found he could catch and now are using him in the field. "Do you know it was but a matter of a couple of hundred dollars that stood between Connie Mack and Pitcher Mathewson? Well, that is a fact. Mack thought he had secured the pitcher, but New York raised the ante. Mathewson went to Mack and showed him the offer he had received, but Mack would not raise the ante and lost one of the best pitchers in the country. I told Mack not to iet the youngster slip through his fingers, for I saw him play last season and recognized hia ability. Mack cer tainly lost a star. It ia not generally known that Pitch er Uuggleby, who pitched so well for the Phillies Saturday and shut out the Chicagos, accepted my terms for this season. He said he would sign a con tract, but did not want me to give out anything about it." "WANTS UMPIRE NASH OUSTED Freednian Makes Strong Complaint Against the Former Player. New York, May 22.

Little Whirlwind," a Cheyenne In dian, Enduring Life Sentence. New York, May 22. At a meeting of the New York City Indian Association it was decided to send a letter of protest to Gov. Joseph K. Toole of Montana, asking the release of Little Whirlwind, the young Northern Cheyenne Indian who, it is claimed, is unjustly enduring a life sen tence for murder. A letter signed by Philip C. Garrett, president, and Herbert Welsh, corresponding secretary of the In dian Heights association, read at the meeting, contained a rehearsal of the story. The letter concludes by saying: "When the newly elected governor was Installed in his office at the beginning of the present year, application was made to him on behalf of the Indian Rights' as sociation to pardon Little Whirlwind. This appeal was reinforced by a formal request of the secretary of the interior, he hav ing been convinced, as the result of an investigation made by one of the inspec tors, of Little Whirlwind's innocence. The governor courteously promised to look into the matter as soon as he could, but thus far no action has been taken and Little Whirlwind, with his health much impaired as a result of the confinement, continues to suffer for the crime of an other." Miss E. Louise Hoppock, president of the Southern California Indian associa-. tion, made an interesting address on the mission Indians of southern Califortia. Many of trie Indians of that section, she said, are indignant because of recently published reports that they are starving. Their feeling is illustrated by the excla mation of an Indian youth in one of the reservation schools who. upon reading the statement, said: "It is a lie. We are not starving and w-e won't have help." Miss Hoppock spoke of the work of the Perris school, the brass band of which escorted lresident McKinley from the station in Redland to the hotel on his re cent vteit there and furnished the only music in the celebration on that occasion. She read an essay written by one of the girls in the school. Hanovers" Whitney's Memorial Day Exercises at Soldiers' Home. Will Bo Held at Leavenworth Sunday, May 26.

To the Editor of the State Journal. I notice in the State Journal of the 20th that an effort will be made to reverse the decision of the coroner's iury of Labette county in the Mabel Fortney case here, says the Fort Scott correspondent. I would love to say that at the trial here it was clearly shown that J. M. Pi per did not promise to marry Miss Fort ney, as she had so acknowledged to Pi per's father and sister some time pre vious, nf course j-.il deaths are due to heart failure, but all symptoms and indi cations in Miss Fortney's case clearly snow that sue uieo ot poison, and uooh the testimony of two physicians in charge Drs. Allison and O'Conner the jury in the case decided that it was poison, and the coroner had nothing to do with the decision, as he was only supposed to pre side, as the county attorney, Mr. Hiatt, conducted the investigation. It is toe late to nsk for a new trial un less a similar decision is wanted, as the body has been embalmed, but the proper way to have settled this matter was as was suggested to the interested parties on the day of the trial, that was by post morten and chemistry.

English Gossips Select Various Re wards For Sir Alfred. New Tork, May 22. Dealing with ru mors about the near approach of Sir Al fred Milner to English shores, the London correspondent of the Tribune says the gossips alternately raise him to the peer age and supersede him as high commis sioner of South Africa. Some more imaginative marplots even persist in ejecting Mr. Chamberlain from the colonial office and substituting Sir Alfred for him. All these rumors are idle tales. -Sir Alfred Milner can not "be al lowed to return to London for a con ference with Mr. Chamberlain without a demonstration of royal appreciation and public approval. He is iot likely to re turn from Marlborough house without a decoration of some kind, and the peerage will be a natural reward for services which have been more arduous than those of any predecessor. Nothing is known about the king s purposes beyond the ex ceptional distinction of welcoming hilrt at Marlborough house as soon as he ar rives in London. Rumors relating to his permanent retirement from South Africa or acceptance of office in the Salisbury cabinet are highly improbable. Some of the recent appointments in Sotith Africa have been unfortunate and there is an immense mass of detail respecting the re construction policy which Mr. Chamber lain and he will need to go over together. His visit will be well timed if it enalih-s the two statesmen most familiar with South Africa to prevent the exploitation of the new colonies by monopolists and mine owning millionaires.

What Is considered perhaps the most important convention In the history of the Amal gamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers began here today with 2j0 delegates present. The convention Im mediately went into secret session. The convention will differ fro-n others of the same body in that it is expected that more matters of public interest will develop than ever before. It ia probable that nothing will develop the first week of the convention which will have any bearing on the relations of the organization with the steel trust. This will come out later, after the re ports of the committees have been com pleted and are before the convention for action.

Ilill and Morgan Tried to Out wit Hiral Companies FOR ORIENTAL TRADE. Santa Fe Figuring on the Hamburg-American Line. Frank Benson of the Santa Fe Invents Signal Lamp. Great railroad deals have become the prominent events of recent times. Never before have the railroad interests of this country and of the world occupied as much attention as within the last year, when "absorption" and "community of interests" have become most talked about. The process of merging seems to be going- on all the time. But the field in this country is narrowing down, and the great railroad magnates ha.ve decid ed that it is time to secure means for transportation by water &a .well as by land. 1 Accordingly it Is promised that one of the greatest struggles between railroad capitalists will be for control of traffic on the sea and particularly for the Ori ental trade. Of course this scheme is not entirely new, but its full develop ment as promised, just now is decidedly an innovation. Messrs. Hill and Morgan some time ago put their heads together and pre pared the most comprehensive plan that had ever been thousht out and the heads of rival companies concluded that they would have to fight, if they did not want to be left in the race. But to do this successfully they must put things into Asia at such low rates, as will ap peal to the people there. In order to do this the Great Northern is building a fleet of the largest steam ships in the world, which will have aji enormous carrying capacity, amounting to something like 20,000 tons each and have a speed of 14 knots an hour. They will also have -unusual coal capacity. It is understood that Mr. Hill's steam ship line will co-operate with the vari ous steamship lines, including the At lantic Transport and Leyland compa nies, which Air. Morgan is bringing to gether, and when their plans are worked out they will have a system that will circle the globe. Some rival interests declare that they will go Messrs. Hill and Morgan one better. Something has already been said about the Santa Fe railroad's new deal with the Hamburg-American Steam ship company for re-aching every im portant mercantile center and for mak ing a specialty of the eastern trade. The Atchison has millions to develop this tratlie and back of tne Atchison is the Pennsylvania railroad. Meanwhile the Union. Pacific and Southern Pacific add other tactics to head off Messrs. Hill and Morgan in their scheme. The Canadian Pacific al so has an important steamship line from Vancouver and it intends to make such additions to its service as will guaran tee to it its share of the business .Still another independent steamship line from Seattle is announced. It is a con tinuation of the Liverpool-Yokohama line of the China Mutual Steam Navi gation company to the Pacifio Coast. W. .L. Stow, a director of the Mexican Central, said that it was the intention of the Pierce syndicate, which controls that property, to aim for a large part of the export trade to the Orient by way of the Port of Manzanillo. The Central Is building to that point and the terminus wiil be reached in eight months. It is believed that the St. Louis and San Francisco will reach out for a share of the export trade, through Its connec tion with the Mexican International and the Mexican Central. i SHOP MAN'S INVENTION". Prank V. Benson of the Tin Shop Re ceives Patent on a Signal Lamp. Frank V. Benson of the Santa Fe tin shop has returned from Chicago. .Benson is the inventor and patentee of a redactor to be used on signal lamps, anil especially adapted for railroad switch, lights, it is a simple affair like so many contrivances gotten up by men who are willing to put their thoughts to wont. There is a tonnt and a tubular burner, and the reflector, which is the principal part of tile invention. The reflector in composed of a top and bottom plate, connected bv four perpen dicular wings, radiating from a small mica chimney three-quarters of an inch in diameter. For these wings and top and bottom plates AJax metal, which is highly polishable. is used. liy this means the rays of light are thrownthrough the lour lenses 01 the switch lamu In a more direct and powerful way than is done in the case of the ordinary switch lamp. Hut the strong merit of this lamp is not alone in the brilliancy of its light, burning six days and nights steudilv. it consumes only is ounces of oil. Accord ing to tests made it requires only a third of oil now used by tiie ordinary switcn lamp. Besides, by giving continuous ser vice it savta much work in caring for it. With tiie common lamps this is an important item, for not onlv must thev be retilled, but likewise cleaned as well. Not only the time ot the workmen em ployed in doing this is an important con sideration, but the breakage in connection with handling them is another matter. It has been found also that the lamp does not require the highest grade of oil. but will burn the common trades with as eood satisfaction as any. The Santa Fe has eiven the Benson lamp a thorough test and has found it satisfactory. It will become the standard switch lump of the system. All the work of making these lamps will be done at Topeka shops, and inasmuch as it will require 6, you of them to supply the sys tem, this will mean not a iittie addition to the regular tin work of the shops. Mr. Benson has been receiving inquiries from alt over the country regarding his invention, and other roads are anxious to know the merits of the device. -Mr. Benson is aiso perfecting a night lamp for use about house3 and in towers. Further, he ha- a contrivance for raising or lowering and cl k ning the wick of a lantern without ren.oving the fount. He is an examine of the man who mixes brains with toil. NEW CHICAGO STATION. Rock Island Preparing For Great Structure. Chicago. 111., May 22. The Rock Isl and management is having sketches prepared for the new Van Buren street station. The intention is to have a twelve-story structure fronting in Van Buren street and containing the offices of the Rock Island, Lake Shore and Nickel Plate raiiroads. The waiting rooms and train sheds will be on a level with the elevated loop. No work on the station will be done this year, but the intention is to begin construction during the summer of l'J2, and it will piobably be January. 1904. before the structure will be completed. Track elevation north of Twelfth street will also be de ferred until next spring. Tht only work to be done this year will be the shift ing of some of the freiehthouses and the putting in of the foundations for the subways at Polk and Harrison streets. All the freight houses north of Polk street will be torn down and more com modious ones erected. S. P. ABOLISHING POOL. Engineers on That Road Being As signed to Regular Engines. El Paso, Tex., May 22 The engineers running out of this city on the S. P. have been made glad by being again con signed to regular engines after being worked in the pool for about two years. The pooling of the engines was an eco nomical measure but it seems that the company did not find it so economical after all. The engineers were worked in what is known as the chain gang and would have to take out just what en gine fell to them when their turn to go out came. Now each has a regular en gine which he may call his, and becom ing perfectly acquainted with it knows just what it can do and can give the company much better service than when working in the chain gang. They also become interested in their engines, humor them and take better care of them, thus getting better work out of them than when they do not know which engine they are to run next. RAILROAD COMMISSION MEETS Men From West and Middle "West "Will Go to San Francisco. Chicago, May 22. Between 50 and 75 members of the railroad commission of the western and middle west states will depart from Chicago next Tuesday in a special train for San Francisco where they go to attend the thirteenth annual meeting of the national association of railroad commissioners. Many of the delegates will be accompanied by their wives and other members of their fami lies, and the party will occupy six Pull man cars. The delegates will g-ather in Chicago Monday, and in the afternoon they will hold a meeting to discuss in advance a number of questions that will come be fore them. 1 From Chicago the route will be via the Burlington to St. Paul, the Great North ern to Neche, Canadian Pacific to Van couver, the Northern Pacific line to Portland and thence to San Francisco over the Southern Pacific. Probably the most important question to be considered by the commissioners at their convention will be the proper interpretation ot gross earnings of rail ways. FIRE AT WICHITA. Santa Fe Freight House and Contents Burned. "Wichita, Kan., May 22. The Santa Fe freight house, through an electric wire, caught fire last night and burned to the ground. It was stored to its utmost (ca pacity with freight. The loss cannot be definitely estimated, but it is said it will reach $60,000. Division headquarter; which adjoined the freight house was saved by the heroic work of the fire men. ,1 Wabash Special Breaks a Record. St. Louis, May 22. All records be tween Buffalo and St. Louis were bro ken by the Wabash special train having on board the officers and directors of the Louisiana purchase exposition who re turned Tuesday from the Pan-American exposition ceremonies. The trip from Buffalo, 720 miles, was made in 14 hours. 55 minutes, counting stops and the time lost in ferrying across the Detroit river. Thus the actual running time was less than 14 hours, four hours shorter than the fastest schedule between the two cities. ii.ii More Mexican Central Rumors. Mexico City, May 22. Rumors are persistent that the new group in control of the Mexican Central railroad have purchased the control of the Mexican railroad, or old Vera Cruz line. Railway and business men regard this as Certain, and it is said that with the Vera Cruz in its hand the control will be able to dominate the situation in Mexico. There is also talk of the Mexico, Cuernavaca Pacific road passing into the hands of the same group. 1 SANTA FE LOCALS. "W. S.

The Immediate Cause Is Stated to Have Been Pneumonia. Boston, May 22. Former Congress man Chas. A. Boutelle's death, which occurred at the McLean asylum, Wa verly, yesterday, where he had been confined for a year with brain trouble, was due prinarily to pneumonia, which developed last Sunday. Mr. Boutelle's daughter Grace, who has been at the head of the household since her moth er's death in 1S92, was at the bedside. Mr. Boutelle was 62 years old, and on his retirement from congress last win ter was placed on the retired list of the navy as a captain, an office to which he was eligible by reason of the civil war and congress committee services. Three daughters survive. Mr. Boutelle s illness dates from De cember 21, 1SS9, when he was seized by a fit of unconsciousness while at a hotel in this city. Later Mr. Boutelle was taken to -his home in Bangor, but im mediately returned to McLean asylum, where he has since remained. His mental condition it is said had im proved considerably.

PIE-MAKING SECRETS. Forming a hasty conclusion from a re view of the average family dinner table of today, it would seem that pie-making has become almost a lost art. But when we meet such an array of facts as are given from anyone of the "pie factories" in our large cities, we are convinced that the popularity of this form of table delicacy is not threatened to any great extent. And it is evident that the 'great pie belt" has expanded very rap idly within comparatively few years. THE PIE EATERS. The class of people who demand pie, and are willing to pay for good pie are, surprising as it may seem, not to be found in the majority in farming or country districts, but, contrary to all hygienic teachings, in our largest cities; and are those who are chiefly engaged in indoor occupations and who lead par tial if not entirely inactive lives We have been taught to look upon pie as a promoter of dyspepsia and its kindred evils: and truly, he who partakes of some of the pastries under this head.haa just cause to rue his temerity; for there is nothing more likely to develop a dis position to view the world through blue spectacles, than a diet of pie crust that is a compound ot sodden, haltNeookea starch and indigestible grease. PIE-MAKING A SCIENCE. With a demand for this form of food comes the necessity of self-preservation. Therefore the product must be good, not only in the sense that It is pleasing to the taste, but good as a food and sus tenance; as it, right or wrong, consti tutes in a large part, the midday meal of a large majority of our working classes. The use of pie as a dessert is not so common as in former times per haps. This is owing to the fact that many people realize that pies are fre quently compounds that are too hearty for ordinary digestion when they follow a substantial meal; and another reason is, that until within recent years only lard and butter were available as short ening in pie crust, and these were too often of inferior quality and always un wholesome, and under the manipulation of an untrained cook were made the agent to create the common complaint, indigestion. In this age of specialties, however, even pie-making has been reduced to a science; and in such establishments as we have mentioned, the work is entrust ed to experts only; consequently the "factory pie," if it be constructed ac cording to these scientific principles, and only good and wholesome materials used is less dangerous to the health of the consumer than a home-made article, greasv, sodden and pale. HOME-MADE PIE. There is no reason why the home cook should not excel the manufacturer; and there are certain kinds of pies that the fastidious eater, as well as he who re gards health as paramount to mere eat ing, will wisely insist on having made at home, or forego the pleasure of eat ing them. There is in the minds of most Ameri icans.whatever their sentiments regard ing the eating of pastry in general, a weakness for at least one kind of pie. rtcher in Quality than most 10c. Cigar.

WHOLESOME PIE. To many this term will seem a mis nomer, and we admit that there is rea son for skepticism in many cases; but why condemn pie without a hearing, more than the white potato, the steak? In fact any other food article that is commonly and daily consumed. Any one of these may be, by bad cooking, made as unwholesome and hurtful to good digestion as the tabooed pie. Even more so in fact; for though the pie crust may be made of not too digesti ble materials, if fruit enter into the combination, the gastric juices have an ally that will assist in disposing of the unwelcome visitor. All foods com posed of inferior and badly cooked ma terials are a menace to health, whether it be pie or potatoes; so whether you regard Die in the light of a luxury and only for an occasional indulgence, or consider it a convenient and satisfying food for a midday lunch, it must be made of wholesome materials and with due regard to its digestibility. Do not make the mistake of consider ing a pie crust made with too little shortening as healthier than a crust that is light, tender and flaky; for the crust that is tough and heavy must be hurtful. i WHAT MATtKlAtiS 1 U lii. The secret of good pie crust, tender, flaky and digestible, is so simple that it is no secret at all, but depends on mate rials selected as much as their putting together and baking. Flour and short ening being the two principal factors, they must be of the best; we do not mean that they must necessarily be ex pensive, but the best adapted for the purpose. You cannot use "any flour" or one you select as special recommended for bread-making only, and expect to have a tender, flaky crust; neither can you use animal fats and expect to have a perfectly digestible pastry. But you are not obliged to purchase a flour and shortening for the especial purpose of making pastry, for if you make a wide selection you can obtain both these ma terials so prepared as to be suitable for general cooking and baking; and while having the best, because the most wholesome, you have, at the same time, the most economical, an obvious fact to all housewives who know anything of the nature of the various food products on the market. PUTTING THE MATERIALS TOGETHER. The flour should be thoroughly sifted before measuring and then sifted again with the salt. A small quantity of baking powder is sometimes used, principally in what are called raised crusts, for meat pies and in a plain pie crust when it must be made as auickly as possible and sufficient time cannot be given to roll and fold the paste, the shortening and the water must be as cold as possible and the mixing done with a spatula or flexible knife; the hands must never be used. In summer time, use the coolest place in the house for making your pies, not only to in sure success in the work, but coolness for yourself. If possible, let all paste stand in a cool place for several hours after it is made, and if closely covered it will be greatly improved by keeping it in the refrigerator for several days. This is s great saving of time for the busy house wife, as she can make up sufficient quantity when time will allow, to last for several days, and in warm weather when fresh fruit pies are possible, they should be eaten in a very short time af ter being made and not allowed to stand until the juices soak into the crust. In making even the plainest crust, you will obtain better results by mixing part of the shortening in the flour and when the paste is mixed, cutting it into equal parts, rolling out, spreading with the remainder of the shortening over each place, dredging with flour, then laying one piece of paste on top or tne otner arl rolling out from you to a thin sheet, -folding in the sides and ends arid roll ing again. It is the folding and rolling lightly which gives the flakiness to the crust and makes it more digestible. The paste must be soft enough to roll out without much pressure or you will press out the air enfolded in the layers of paste. FILLING THE CRUSTS. As vou put the paste in the pie plates set them in a cool place until ready to fill, but do not let them stand with the Ailing in them before going into the oven unless you wish to have a sodden crust. Kefore filling the bottom crust brush i with the white of eggs and sprinkle with a little bit of flour and sugar. For frenh j fruit pies, dredge the top of the fruit with flour after adding sugar. This will pre- vent the lower crust from being soggy j and the juices from running out. I Lo not grease pie plates. This has a i tendency to make the crust heavy and i soggv. and there is no necessity for I greasing a pie plate if the crust is prop erly made: they may be dusted with flour or very fine bread crumhs to pre vent the crust from sticking if the plates are not smooth. The oven heat for pies must be kept at a steady temperature throughout. Test it before the pies go in by holding VQur hand in the oven while you -count 2ij rather slowly. The filling in your pies must, of course, be taken into con sideration, as some fruits require more time than others for cooking. The oven must not be too hot for very juicy fruits as the rapid boiling of the Juices will cause them to run out if they can possi bly escape.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF AMERI CAN TRUSTS. Sir Henry M. Stanley, the famous ex plorer and politician, writes about American trusts in the June Success. Ha says: Trusts are dangerous, and we do not yet know the limits of their perils. The present menace lies in the Increase of prices, should they crush out competitors and obtain a monopoly. Given a monopoly, they can fix their own prices and people must pay theTi. Competition means cheap prices; mo nopoly, as a general thing, means high prices. Personally, I have an instinct ive mistrust of trusts. They seem to me to savor so much of stock exchange manipulation and speculation that I have never been able to overcome my feeling against them. England, in common with America, shares the sen timent. In America, owing to the tariff, peo ple already pay very high prices for nearly everything they require: and, if trusts obtain monopolies and further increase prices, there is no saying how far the matter may go. At present, the trust system is but little developed. It is applied to very few products. Its po tentialities, however, are unbounded. The trust is the pebble thrown into the pool the pebble which causes an ex-er-wldening circle whose limits can not be foreseen., A powerful combination of monopoly trusts behind the government would be a danger. The high intelligence of the men at their head would be powerless to shape their policy in certain con Junctures. Suppose a trust, having killed all competition and paying a div idend of 10 per cent., encounters cir cumstances which render it necessary to enhance prices In order to maintain that dividend. Subsequent recurrences of untoward circumstances might send prices up to exorbitant figures. GRADUATION DAY FRILLS. Under the caption above the Minneap olis Times Eubmita some timely thoughts on a subject which is about to come home to very many parents in this and every other city as follows: Some time ago Superintendent Cooley, of the Chicago public schools, ventured to suggest that there was such a thing as too much glory In graduation day. when glory taxed people who could ill afford it with the outgo of sums for dress and. flowers which meant real pri vation in various ways for many fami lies. This was such an indirect way of hitting at our boasted American free dom to do as we piease "even if it busts the bank" that the school board did not take to it kindly at first, but after pro longed discussion the Chicago board of education adopted a compromise in the form of a resolution declaring that flow ers and other presents should not be given to the graduates at commence ment day. It was the general opinion that fully 50 per cent of the pupils who graduated from the high schools of Chicago come fjjkUi homes where the question of "frills" for graduation day is a real burden. It resolves itself either into bereft pocketbooks or bereft hearts. If the children go well dressed (according to the standard of dress set by some vague authority, representing more of show and display than culture) the par ents suffer often. If the parents are hard-hearted and Solomons of sense, the children go plainly dressed and their feelings are humiliated by comparisons; for there is no more cruel caste In some ways than the democratic esprit du corps of our graded schools. Either way, somebody suffers. It usually ends in the child getting what it wants, or, rather, what some vague authority of custom says it wants. For this reason, if for no deeper ethi cal one, the action of the Chicago board of education will be approved by the majority of people. It didn't go very far, but it puts some consistency into the general theory of public schools as institutions for making life simpler and more level for the every day bread-and-butter earner. If every school board in thi country would not only follow this plan, but aim in every way to discour age the aristocratic tendencies of public schools, it would conduce to more gen eral fairness in the questions of pubi c contention which crop up after school life is done. The poor have a right to be protected from unnecessary expense in the public schools. They havg a right to ask that the distinctions of weal'.n and class shall not be imposed upon them there, and that they and their' children shall not look forward each year to graduation day as a landmark for worries, needless economies and pinchings and a final result of general dissatisfaction because, even by great efforts, a thousand dollar income cannot possibly produce the same results as a ten thousand one. WHITE THE MAN. Topeka Official Will Probably Succeed C. S. Sutton. It is reported on good authority that J. W. White, chief clerk in the office of auditor of disbursements for the San ta Fe, will be promoted to the position of auditor of freight receipts at Los Angeles, which place was vacated by' C. S. Sutton. Mr. White returned to day from Chicago and when seen by a reporter this afternoon refused either to confirm or deny the report of his pro motion. It is believed, however, that the appointment will be announced within a few days. "Mr. White has been with, the Santa Fe for years and the promotion to the posi tion mentioned could not fail to be be stowed upon a competent man. The names of W. J. Healy and I. S. Lauck, both of whom are connected with the Santa Fe here, have been mention ed among the possibilities for the place at Los Angeles. GUARDIAN FOB CHI HAY. Her Uncle Made Conservator Her Property. of Chicago, May 22. Princess de Chimay, formerly Clara Ward of Detroit, was de clared a spendthrift and incapable of managing her property, in the probate court here. Thomas R. Lyons, her uncle, was appointed conservator of her estate, and tiled a bond of J100.000. He alleged that since she came into her property in 1S94 the princess has spent J400.00O in addition to an annual income of from $i5,W0 to J50.000. Mr. Lyons produced proof that his niece concurred w ith him in believing a conservator necessary. The present action, according to statements of Mr. Lyons to the jury, was precipitated by the demand made in February last from Egypt for $50,uu0 to pay the woman's accumulated debts. These had accrued in two years. This bill was the largest ever present ed. Her previous record had been the spending of 160,000 francs in Paris in six weeks. All of these bills, Mr. Lyons, as trustee, had to settle out of the woman's fortune. When the debts in Egypt were discovered Mr. Lyons arranged a meet ing with his niece in London. She then acknowledged that she was incapable of resisting the temptation of buying whatever she wanted. Mrs. John McBee was taken to the Stormont hospital Tuesday where she had an eye removed. It became neces sary to remove one to save the other. Spring Medicine Is of the greatest importance." This is the most critical season of the year, from a health standpoint.

Refuses to Tarn Orer OEice of Folice Judge. Frank P. Lindsay, who was appointed police judge last night by. Mayor Hughes, will not be able to gain control of the office immediately, and will be forced to bring legal actions to even tually secure it, unless he Is content to wait until the time of the expiration of the term of Police Judge Magaw. When Mr. Magaw was appointed by Mayor Drew it was for the term of two years, and that time will not end until October 30. "I will not relinquish the office," Mr. Magaw said to a State Journal re porter this morning, "until the expiration-of my term. The only manner in which Mr. Lindsay may get control of the office is by quo warranto proceed ings." Mr. Magaw dispensed Justice as usual in the police court this morning. No effort was made to oust him from the office. Shortly after the session of the police court Chief Stahl. Mr. Lindsay and Assistant City Attorney D. T. Gregg held a conference in the chief's office relative to the matter. A State Journal reporter saw Mr. Lindsay just as he was leaving the office after the conference ended, and asked him what efforts he would make to get the office. "I have not given the matter much consideration," he answered. "I had the understanding that Mr. Magaw would turn the office over to me as soon as the matter was settled and have not contemplated being forced to bring a lpgal action to get it. "I will consult with the city attorney and the mayor in regard to the ques tion," he said, "and will be governed largely in the matter by their advice. Rest assured, however, that there will be no delay in taking such steps as are necessary to bring the i matter to a focus. "When I was appointed by Mr. Hughes about three weeks ago," he con tinued, "I had a talk with Mr. Magaw. and he assured me that he would turn the office over to me. As soon as the injunctions in the Parker-Hughes con test case were filed he asked me to allow him to remain in the office until the matter was finally settled, for he said that if he was in the office and Parker won the suit it might be the means of securing his reappointment. I consented, and afterwards when I asked Mr. Magaw about turning the office over to me he tried to back down on his forner proposition, and told me that he was going to hang on to it as long as he could." Papers asking for a restraining order were made out by Mr. Mngaw's at torneys this morning, so that in the event of Mr. Lindsay's attempting to get control of the police court pt the afternoon session all that would be necessary would be to finish filling out the blanks and present them to the proper officials. SECOND WARD SEWER. Efforts to Secure One Are Again Renewed. People in the Second ward are very much in favor of the construction of a sewer in that part of town, and it is like ly that within a few weeks the matter will come officially before the city coun cil. The question of sewer in the Second ward is one which has been up several times in the history of the city. The health officers agree that the eastern portion of town will never be a strictly sanitary district till a sewer is laid. City Hngineer Kingman and City Engineer Barnes, when they were in office, did some figuring on the proposi tion, and decided that a sewer for the Second ward will cost at least $150,000. It will have to be of large dimensions, in order to carry off the storm water. The ground is so low that it will be impossi ble to provide for much fall in the grade. Funds for the construction of a sewer are secured very much as are the funds for building pavement. A benefit district is created, the property in this district assessed, and a tax levied which is col lectible, as is the paving tax, in ten yearly installments. Councilman vjriley, from the Second ward, says that he is going to make it the object of his official life in the coun cil to get a sewer for the Second ward. He says that the people down there are all favor a sewer except a few kickers who exist in every community. Councilman Meyers, also from the Sec ond, is in favor of a sewer, and these two counciimen will make a hard fight for the proposition. Summer Tours via Santa Fe Route.

ANOTHER New Shipment of Manhat tan Negligee Shirts DISCUSS CARNEGIE'S GIFT. Dean of Columbia Says Student's Fees Will Not Keep Up Colleges. New York, May 22. Regarding An drew Carnegie's gift of .2,000,000 to provide education in the Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrews and Aberdeen universities for Scotch students, and the fact that the students' fees, to the payment of which the gift is devoted, do not amount to more than 10 a year for each student, while the university expends from 20 to 30 pounds in educating him, Prof. VanAmringe, dean of Columbia university, said last night: "In any well conducted university the tuition fees do not pay anything like the cost of tuition. It is so with us, and so, I take it. with every progressive, first-rate Institution. The plant, the things you must provide for adminis tering the institution in the best pos sible way, cost more than would be feasible for the student to pay. After you get a certain number of students you must increase the teaching staff and enlarge the laboratory facilities, and in that sense a large increase of students would mean an increased ex penditure, but not necessarily an ex penditure in proportion. "Mr. Carnegie's gift is no doubt a munificent one and its intent is liberal and humane. I have a feeling, however, that what you get too cheaply you es teem too lightly. It is .unquestionably true, as I have said, that students' fees do not pay what it costs to educate them, and a large increase of students at a university would entail increased expenses for teachers and laboratory accommodations." TO IMPROVE WORKIXGMEN. Call For a Conference on Social Ad vancement. Joliet, 111., May 22. F. M. Savage, superintendent of the Steel Works club of this city, who has issued a call for the conference of representatives of firms and couoorations for the social and economic advancement of employes, which will be held in Buffalo, on June 24, was asked to give details of his plans. Mr. Savage said: "We are seeking to improve the social and economical interests of employes. Our object in having the conference ls to see what can be done.

While we Ktand for the interests of the win king men we will be representatives of cor porations who are seeking to make ti e home life of their men more beautiful through educational and other means similar to those who have einnloyed here at the Steel Works club." Mr. Savage in concluding the inter view said he believed that improved conditions and surroundings exert a great an influence on working men to make them c ontented as doea the ques tion of wages alone. Already favorable response's have been received from concerns In Xew York, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Dayton, O., and other .places. n nnQ My little daughter, Esther, was stricken with Chorea or St. Vitus Dance, last September. I have since then tried two of our local doctors, but she grew steadily worse Instead of better. A few weeks ago I was advised by a friend to try DR. GREENE'S NERVURA ELO0D AND NERVE REMEDY. She began taking it, and I can see that she has been improving every day since. I am willing to recommend Dr. Greene's Nervura to all who suffer from such a disease. This case of my twn daughter has con vinced me that Dr. Greene's Ner vura is what it Is claimed to be."

Edison's moving picture of Mrs. Carrie Nation "in action" will be a fea ture of the ki'.ieniatograph exhibition to follow the Scottish concert pro gramme at Odd Fellows' hall tonight. The picture has not yet been seer, in Topeka, but has proven an attractive subject wherever shown by the Scottish Concert company during its present tour. Most of the other subjects to be shown by the kinemntograph tonight are genuinely Scotch in character, and the highland dancing scenes and marches of the Scots Greys and Black Watch are said to be particularly in teresting. Another moving picture of interest shows the Australian and Ca nadian contingents on the march in South Africa.

The French .have withdrawn from the Shan-si expedition and the English have refused to take any part in it. It is probable therefore that the Germans will be compelled to go alone.

TIM DONOVAN GOES. Yeteran Police Officer Supplant ed l)y W. H. Carpenter. H. K. Goodrich Must Leave Electric Light Plant. The first thing Mayor Hughes did with his newly obtained appointive power was to name James A. Trout man as his successor in the council from the Sixth ward. This was done the first thing at the council meeting' last night, and the council voted to confirm Mr. Troutman. Mr. Troutman was present. He took the oath of office and assumed his seat. After the pavement contracts had been awarded Mayor Hughes read a list of appointments, and they were all confirmed with little or no opposition. Every appointive officer who had op posed Hughes at the primary or in the election was decapitated without cere mony. It was a time for evening up old scores. The following are the appoint ments which Mayor Hughes made: Chief of Police- Frank M. Stahl. Police Judge Frank P. Lindsay. Fire Marshal George Wilmarth. Street Commissioner J. F. Snyder. City Engineer James MoCabe. License Collector P. H. Forbes. Superintendent Electric Lights C. C. Munson. City Food Inspector J. P. Farns worth. Police Sergeant W. H. Carpenter. Police Sergeant C. A. Goff. Jailor Police Station H. V. Smith. Jailor Police Station A. R. Jester. Assistant City Clerk Miss Hattie Holman. City Weighmaster O. A. Peck. Councilman Griley did not vote on any of the confirmations. He was ex cused by the council because he is a Democrat. Councilman Chaney stated that he would vote for the confirma tions as a matter of duty. He said that he did not want to interfere with the policy of the administration, and that he would vote for whoever Hughes nominated, "just to show that I am a good fellow." Councilman Bergund thal declined to vote on several of the confirmations, on the ground that he did not know the nominee. Councilman Warner voted "no" on the confirmation of Street Commissioner Snyder. The new appointees are Frank F. Lindsay, who succeeds C. A. Magaw as police judge; James McCabe, who takes P. I. Wise's place as city engineer; C. C. Munson, who will be superintendent of the city electric light plant in place of H. K. Goodrich; W. H. Carpenter, who will be police sergeant in place of Tim Donovan, and A. R. Jester, slated for jailer in place of C. D. Miler. James McCabe, the new city engineer, has been an employe in the city engi neer's office for a number of years. He was a candidate for the place at the time Mr. Wise got the appointment, and is a well known worker in local poli tics. C. C. Munson has never been con nected with the city electric light plant. He is an electrical engineer of twenty years' experience. He had charge of installing the new dynamos at the city plant, and is now engaged in building an electric railway between Junction City and Fort Riley. Mr. Goodrich, who was displaced, has been an excel lent and capable officer. W. H. Carpenter has been connected with the police force aa patrolman and detective for three years. He takes Tim Donovan's place as sergeant. Donovan is let out or let down, for there is noth ing left for him except a patrolman's beat and he Is one of the oldest and most efficient police officers. The poli ticians made a hard fight on Donovan because he is a Democrat, and they ev idently got his scalp. Carpenter has been under a cloud and was arrested for embezzlement but "the case against him was dismissed upon his proposal to pay back the money. P. H. Forbes, who is now city license collector, is well known in town, and takes a position which has been vacant since Luther Bailey's resignation. He is a lawyer. After Mayor Hughes had finished making his appointments he made an inauguration speech, and quite forgot about the election of a president for the council, until Councilman Warner re minded him of it. There were two nom inees. Mr. Warner nominated Council man Snattinger, and Mr.Swendson nom inated Councilman Miller. Mr. Snattin ger was elected on the first ballot by a vote of 7 to 3. AWARD PAVING CONTRACTS. From 8 to 10 o'clock last night, the council was busy with paving bids. The bids were opened and then referred to a. committee of which Mr. Chaney was chairman.

WINANS AND KEFLEX LEFT OUT. 1 he work was pretty well distributed last night. Everybody who bid, except H. K. Winans and R. B. Kepley, got at least a portion of the work they went after. Mr. Winans' bids were received by the city clerk a few seconds too late yes terday afternoon, and it was only by special permission of the council they were opened. Mr. Winans made a speech in which he declared that he had ent his bids to the city clerk s office by his son, and that his son had fallen into the hands of the Philistines and been delayed, so that he got to the office too late. He charged that Ritchie Ramsey, rival bidders, were responsi ble for his son's tardiness. The council will meet on Monday eve ning. June 3. at 7:30 o'clock for the pur pose of considering the report of the hoard or appraisers on the twenty-nine blocks of pavement which it has under consideration. The people living south of Tenth on Kansas avenue asked the council, through George Reuter, their spokes man, that the consideration of their peti tion for 56 foot pavement on Kansas avenue be postponed. The people on that street have decided to have pave ment 90 feet wide, to correspond with the rest of Kansas avenue. They will pre sent a new petition at the next meet ing of the council. The bond of Frank P. Lindsay as po lice judge was approved. The signers are w. 13. Kobey, D. W. JNeal ana 11. x. Chase. SIDEWALK FELL. One Man Killed and Seven Injured in Chicago. Chicago, May 22.

"In this vicinity the canker worm has been evident but little," he said today. "This worm did some damage up in the northwestern part of the state, but I think the canker worm is through with its work for this time now. The tent caterpillar is about the only harm ful agency that is doing any damage in Shawnee county. I see by a New York horticultural paper that they will have only a half crop in that state. Apples were damaged in the east by late se vere storms this spring. Kansas, how ever, will have a full crop." DIAZ TO BUFFALO. Mexican President Congratulates Ex position Managers. Buffalo, N.

Correspondent Christie Grain and Stoclc Co., Kansas City, Mo. New York. May 22. The stock market yesterday suffered a sharp (incline in Ro tK'ity. It was rather curious that hAlf the losses that were suflt-red on Monday were recovered yesterday on a volume of business one-third lesa than that of the day before. The rumor of an intud-'d increase in the amount of Union Hac-iiio collateral trust convertible bonds, which depressed Union Pacific common stock 7 points Monday, was confirmed in a meas ure during the day and the stock recov ered about half the loss of the previous day. it is also Tather curious that Mis souri Pacific, nfter falling 2 point on tlx first day ot the w- k. advanced over f points from iis opening prie- yesterd.iy and held a net fractional ruln. a It tioUKU the directors of the company took no tac tion on the dividend question w Inch, it had been prophesied last week, would surely be done. These vagaries of yester day's speculation indicate that the mar ket for the time betni? is largely- under professional control. Further evidence of this fact was furnished bv the CH-casiou taken on the announcement of the Linseed-Union Lead consolidation to inject activity into the American Linseed slocl-s at a rate which some very close observ ers do not believe was warranted by the actual public orders which were in the market for that stock. The era tic bob bing up and down of American Sucr refining may also be mentioned as ono of the indications that for a time at least the speculation is likely to remain nar row and influenced by purely speculative pool operations. Grain Letter Furnished by A. G. Goodwin. Commis sion Merchant, Col Kansas avenue. WHEAT Liverpool cables showed a decidedi-y stronger tone this morning and the cash situation somewhat improved, but rains were reported in the northwest where dry weather reports have been coming from, and the weather bureau also predicted showers over tile winter wheat belt today and tomorrow. There was a. flood of selling orders at the opening, but prices gave way only moderately, and in 1'aee of the bearish surface news, results were very satisfactory to the I. nils. Northwest receipts were only moderate. 2"2 cars against 243 for the same time a year ago. Primary receipts were .small, only 4:;2.u)0 bushels, while shipments were liberal, at &31.3'i0 bushels. Receipts at Chi cago were 37 cars, of which only one graded contract. Kansas Cityreported 71 cars against 41 a year ago. The sustain ing feature is the cash situation and we feel that prices will work higher, regard less of the good crop conditions. CORN Corn was slightly easier. Re ceipts were liberal. 5--' cars tit Chicago, out of which 2J9 graded contract, and 44 cars ot Kansas City atrainst for the same date last year. There was liberal selling of July corn by commission houses and local bear traders, but the market absorbed all offerings easily. Cash de mand was good and markets improved. Estimated cars tomorrow, U5'. OATS oats held firm. There was a steady stream of buying orders on any soft spot that appeared. Investment buy ers are picking up July oats, and the mar ket is gradually shaping into a strong po sit ion. PROVISIONS Provisions were easier. Packers were liberal sellers of July pork, causing a quick break of 25c a barrel. Liberal run of hogs and markets steady at the yards. A. G. GOOLHYIN. New York Money Market. New York. May 22.

A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Vienna sa vs: Servia is on the verse of a revolution. The Obrenovlteh dynasty, always hated, is certain to be overthrown now because of what is regarded as a swindle in which both king and queen were in volved. For Alexander is showing- strength for the first time in his life and has re pelled all suggestions from the cabinet that he divorce his quern. Republicans ate holding meeting's in many towns and have issued a mani festo culling upon the people to rise and drive the royal swindlers into exile. The pan-Slavs, probably backed by F.ussia. are reviving the old plan to unite Servia and Montenegro under the rule of Prir.ee Nicholas. Another fac tion is aeitatinar the risrht of Prince IvaraeogevieS t-j the throne, while an other is standing by the present kin and Queen. The Belgrade corresivondents of tho Vienna papers ive different versions or" recent events, a' cording as their arTilia tions. are with one party or another and it is only from the actua.l facts on which all agree that an opinion can be formed.

The air they breathe is filled with genus, sewer gas and dust from the filthy streets are inhaled into the tangs and taken into the blood. At the crowded school rooms and other public places thev come in contact almost daily with others rccoverinjr from or in the first stages of contagious diseases. You can't quarantine against the balance of the world, and the best vou can do is to keep their blood in good condition, and thus prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have perhaps learned from observation or experience that fcralthy, robust children (and this means, of course, children whose blood is pure) are not nearly so liable to contract diseases peculiar to them, and when thev do it is generally in a mild form. On the other hand. "weak, emaciated ad sickly ones seem to catch every disease that comes along. This is because their blood is lacking- m all the elements necessary to sustain and build tip the body. Toisons of every description accumulate in the system, because the polluted and sluggish blood is finable to perform its proper functions.

Manila, May 22. E. C. Lawrence, formerly a private in the Thirty-third volunteer infantry, and afterward em ployed as a civilian clerk in the adju tant general's office at Manila, has been accused of forging the signature of Cap tain Slavens, tile insular disbursing officer, to certain checks purporting to be payable to General MacArthur. On the backs of the checks were forged en dorsements of General MacArthur to General Shafter and to E. C. Lawrence. Two of these checks of $200 each have been cashed at San Francisco, but an other negotiated at St. Louis has been returned to Manila and pronounced spurious by Captain Piavens. Lawrence is suspected of other forgeries. The insurgents made an unsuccess ful attack upon the village of Nacarlan, in Laguna province. A private in the Kighth infantry was killed in the en gagement. The official report of the recent en gagement near Pasacoa. in South Cam urines province, says that three Amer ican soldiers were killed at d one native scout was captured. General MacArthur has ordered re ports from all the civil departments preparatory to his own final report. Battleship Commission Starts. Chicago, May 22.

Xew York, May 22. The Independent today will contain an article written by Justice Jerome. Concerning the work of the committee of fifteen he eays, among other things: "The raids have been so successful that a great deal of evidence has been secured and many indictments found. We seem to be on the track of the srreat men who are or were responsible for the recent disgraceful condition of affairs "The evidence that we have obtained will need the careful siftins of a trial. It might be most unfair in many in stances to disclose the names of the men who were found specified in the gam biers' books. It is not safe to assume that because we find a man's name thus enrolled as receiving- a sum of money from them weekly that he really Is or was in the gamblers' pay. Some times rascals 'stand for' men who are honest. They pretend to be authorized by the man in question to collect money for them but he never hears of it. So we are obliged to build our structure of evidence slowly and accept nothing un til1 it is proven. According to our pres ent light it would appear that the Tam many organization, as an organization, did not get any of the gamblers' bribe money. But Tammany leaders, as in dividuals, are not so clear of suspicion. The root of the trouble lies in the fact that Tammany is too powerful and the plundering clique in the organization has so perfected its machinery that it works throughout the entire city. If the Republicans were as firmly in power here they would be just as bad but it would take them years to get as strong and far reaching an organization as their opponents now have. The only remedy seems to be equal balance of Iarties. If the voters were about evenly divided between the great parties both would have to be on their good behavior. The condition is not peculiar to New York. We have seen the same thing with a different party in Philadelphia." GERMAN PAPERS HITTER. Attack the Kaiser and Deplore Wal dersee's Chinese Policy. New York. Hay 22. A dispatch to the Herald from St. Petersburg says: The attack on the kaiser's speech at Metz by the Borzevala Viediomosti is con sidered to have been inspired. It says: "We suppose Kmperor Wil liam made the speech to try to pacify the Germans who are angry at the dis proportion between the real interests of Germany in the Far Kast and the colos sal sacrifice of lives and mcmey for fan tastic ends. "It is practically fear of a break in the amicable relations with Russia that caused anxiety among common sense people in Germany. "The Waldersee campaign has been the most deplorable mission in modern history. The Chinese have not learned to appreciate our civilization. On the contrary such deplorable conditions can not be hidden by rhetorical displays." The Xovostl says: "The emperor praises Count von Waldersee. The pub lic opinion not only of Germany, but of all Kurope appreciates the case other wise. At the best his efforts have been useless. Quite uselessly he prolonged the military occupation of Pe Chi Li and artificially created a sphere of activity. Otherwise peace would have been con cluded long ago." The Novae Vremya has a special dis patch from Vladivostock describing a grand performance at the Chinese the ater in aid of the families of the Chinese fallen. The Russian governor was present and large sums were subscribed. RAILROADS IN CUBA. Building of Line in Violation of For aker Resolution. Kiy Tork. May 22. The Times says: A legal fight is promised against the securing of railroad franchises in the island of Cuba by the Cuba company of which Sir William C. Vanhorne, of Canada, is president, complaint having been made by interests represented by General Lacret that the company is building a railroad in the island, where as the Foraker resolution provided that no concession should be made to any one while the military occupation con tinues. Sir William C. Vanhorne, who is here, said: "Our company was organized about a year ago for the purpose of develop ing Cuba. We expect to build a rail road from San Luis, near Santiago, to the center of the province of Santa Clara. Most of the past year has been spent in surveying and grading. We are working only upon land we have ac tually purchased. We have just as much right to lay tracks on our own land as we have to build houses or do anything else. We are crossing public highways and streams, it is true, but we are doing this under revocable per mits which will have to be indorsed or rejected by the constitutional govern ment when it is established. We are not violating the Foraker or any other law. and the people of Cuba, alnost as a unit, are in favor of the building of this railroad."

Philadelphia. May 22. The commission ers of the Presbyterian assembly find much business awaiting them today and the rapidity with which the various mat ters were disposed of evidenced the as sembly's imentkm to have for considera tion as little untinished business as pos sible after the settlement of the creed" re vision question. The regular trder called for the report of the committees on for eign missions, publioat ion and benevo lence and the report of Rev. Richard S. Holmes of Pittsburg" on his mission of raising- money to pay the indebtedness on the Presbvterian building- in New York. The building is said to have cost the church $1,772,227. The debt has been re duced one-half and Ir. Holmes ia en deavoring to seciu l1 this sum by appeal to wealthy individuals, to congregations, church societies and pastors. The. first matter to come before the asseiTibly at the morning session was the report of the committee on church poli tics, presented by the chairman. The report contained discussions on overtures submitted by various Presbyteries. An overture from the Chicago Presby tery asked for the appointment of a com mittee to reconsider the form pf the so called West Chester overture and to frame such an amendment to the form of government as shall provide for the restriction of vot ing in Presbyteries to those ministers who represent churches or are actively engaged in the service of the church. The committee decided that as the so called AVest Chester overture had been overwhelmingly defeated at the last gen eral assembly, it was not deemed advisa ble to again submit it to the Presby teries. An overture from the Brooklyn Presby tery asking permission to erase from the roll the names wf the two ministers whose whereabouts have been unknown for the past 25 years, was favorably acted upon bv the committee. Rev. Dr. John YV. Dinsmore of Cali fornia, chairman of the judicial commit tee, reported that t he committee had acted upon a number of cases. Among them was the appeal of John fc. Dayton and others of the Church of the Cove nant. A factional disturbance In the church resulted in the locking out of the pastor. The assembly decided that as the case affected the constitution of the Pres bvterian church it should be tried and issue according to the provisions of the book of discipline. SEES THE PRESIDENT. J. P. Morgan Has an Interview With the French Ruler. New Tork, May 22. President Lou bet has just received J. Pierpont Mor gan, the American financier, says a World dispatch from Paris. General Horace Porter, the United States am bassador, presented Mr. Morgan at the Eiysee palace and the banker- thanked the president of the French republic for the decoration of the Legion of Honor, which was presented as one of the honors conferreti upon foreigners In connection with the international expos ition of 1300. Mr. Morgan in the course of a brief conversation assured President Loubet of the sympathy and admiration of the United States for France. The president answered in the same g-eneral pleasant manner and complimented Mr. Morgan upon his fluent use of the French lar.g-uaere. The interview lasted barely five minutes. All rumors to the contrary nothing was said about the Panama canal. Any reference to this subject in a conversa tion with the French chief of state would have been construed as a gross breach of etiquette. l'EEKEN TO BUI THEM. American Capitalist to Buy London's Underground Railways. New York, May 2. Mr. Terkes' ar rival in England w ill be a signal for the renewal cf negotiations for the con trol of underground electric transit in London, says the London correspondent of the Tribune There has been myste rious speculation of some kind going on in the district, and the Metropolitan railway rumor mongers persist in the statement that Mr. Yerkes has obtained control of one of these railways and is bent upon buying up the other for an American syndicate. There is no au thentic information. There will be more gossip, followed by contradictions, .as soon as Mr. Yerkes resunes operations. There can be little new legislation for the electric companies this session. The report of the commission on vibrations is en couraging, so far as it goes, but all new projects are in suspense. MIX EKS IN DANGER. Mexican Revolutionists Making Trouble For Americans. New- York, May 22. A dispatch to the Herald from the City of Mexico, says: The gold mines, owned Irr the Omitlan exploration comoany of New York, in Guerrero del Oro, state of Guerrero, are surrounded by revolutionists, according to latest advices. William Niven. of New York, mana ger of the mines, says that there are four Americans and 70 Indian laborers at the mines and that they have con structed fortilications commanding the trails to the mines. It is thought that the purpose of the revolutionists is to obtain the arms of the Americans. Government troops have been dispatched to the scene. It is hoped that they will arrive in time to prevent the capture of the mines. There is no telegraphic communication with the mines, the nearest office being a distance of three days ride. The revolution is not large but trou blesome. I. i DOUBLES THE DUTIES If the Chinese Customs Be Required in Gold. rserlin. May 22. It is authoritatively stated that the powers will agree to re quire the present Chinese import duties to be paid in gold which is equivalent to doubling the duties. The same payment also will probably be required in the case of the salt and opium tax. Germany is apparently averse to in terfering with the liken duties since they are too complicated, requiring too much administrative machinery and too much mixing in the internal affairs of China. Officials admit that the powers are likely to divide into two groups upon the method of settlement some in favor of a loan and others supporting pay ment through increased revenues. It is not expected however, that a disagree ment will disturb the present harmoni ous action. Prof. H. Samuels, oculist, will be in Topeka at the Hotel Throop for one day only, Friday. May 24th.

Menalio Marin, of Progreso, Yucatan, who is on a visit to this country for the purpose of plac ing various contracts for machinery, gives some interesting figures regard ing the sisal hemp trade in Yucatan. Mr. Marin is manager for a firm at Progreso. According to figures com piled by him the exports of "henequen" last year aggregated 409,626 bales, equivalent to some 98,000 tons. Of this amount 227,700 bales were shipped to New York, 13S.745 to Boston, 1S.365 to New Orleans. 6.S20 to Havana, 2,100 to Liverpool, Sr0 to London. 916 to Ham burg and 775 to Barcelona. Close on to 4.000 tons of binder twine were shipped to various ports of the United States in 1900. Some 200 vessels were employed for transporting the hemp, comprising 102 Norwegian. 35 English. 30 American, 14 German and two Spanish ships. The value of these shipments aggregated over $10,000,000. i In course of conversation Mr. Marin said: "The Compania del Ferrocarril Muelle y Almacenes del Cornmercio de Progresso (the railroad, wharf and warehouse company of Progreso) has just opened three warehouses having a capacity for 130.000 bales. The company is about to construct a narrow-gauge road from Merida to Progreso, so that freight ca.n be handled more rapidly than now under the existing conditions. Merida is the center of the hemp dis trict, and is situated 24 miles from Progreso" Mr. Marin says he does not fear the competition of Manila hemp. He says that the product in his country can be cultivated cheaper than in the Philip pines. Mr. Marin says also that the present tendency of the Yucataneans is to purchase almost everything from America. France and England used to be the largest exporters to Yucatan, but now only wine comes from the former country, while Great Britain ships only a small quantity of ma chinery.

If the report heard at the navy department prove correct, savs a Times special from Washington and congress approves the recommendations of Rear Admiral Bowles and the construction board, the United States may have a battleship of J6,0ti0 tons displacement, with corres ponding armament, thus providing a warship of formidable proportions. The largest battleship now owned by anjr naval power is of a little more than 1 000 tons displacement. It is related that the largest one present at the funeral demonstration in honor of Queen Vic toria, was a Japanese battleship recent ly completed and displacing 15.000 tons. Great Britain has several battleships of equal tonnage on the way and Italy's Lepanto is of 15,000 tons. The British and Japanese battleships of 15,000 tons draw 27 feet of water or more. That would prevent their entry into many of our harbors and the fact that, many American harbors cannot af ford water for vessels of such draught has led to the construction of battle ships drawing the least possible water, consistent with stability. The mean draught of the Maine class will be less than 24 feet. The idea is to produce a vessel that will not draw much more w-ith the displacement of 16,000 tons. Some members of the construction board hope to secure designs promising a speed of 21 knots, which if obtained, would make the new battleship equal in speed and superior in power to most of the armored cruisers now afloat and make her a formidable antagonist of the most powerful battleship yet built.

'All the mattress-makers, five in num ber, walked out ton strike at William Schick's mattress factory late Tuesday afternoon. The trouble originated over a sixth employe, a colored man, who was a thorn in the fleeii of the work men. i The men asked that this mattress maker, who is Charles Anderson, (color ed) be let out. Schick promised to let Anderson out, but didn't say when. The force made the demand for Anderson's dismissal on Saturday night. Anderson was there for work and worked all day Monday. Tuesday he was not at work. The five mattress-makers learned, how ever, that Schick had sent for men to take their places and would let out the five by ones and twos. Accordingly they laid down their implements at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and walked out to head off such action. The striking mattress-makers are: J. W. Wright, R. Sherwood, R. H. Griffin, A. W. Tennyson, and B. Shay. Speaking for the strikers Messrs. Griffin and Tennyson said: "It was im possible for ns to set along with An derson. He made himself disagreeable in many ways. For Instance we all wanted to Quit at quarter to twelve for the noon hour and begin again at quar ter to one o'clock, so we could get to the restaurant ahead of the rush. Ander son was the only one to object. He said he was afraid he would lose his turn. We work piece-work, getting our work by turns. When one of the boys assured him he would not lose his turn, he got mad and called him a name. There was some contention going on between us all the time. Last Saturday night we told Schick he would have to go. Schick promised to send him out, but dlidn't say when. I i i "On Monday we all worked as usual, Anderson included. Yesterday he was not working. We found out that Schick had sent away for mattress-makers and was going to let us out one or two at a time. He has two men coming from Lincoln and some more from Kansas City. We concluded not to wait for them to come and take our places' so iwe quit at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. "Schick, his manager and Anderson were working last night to get out some rush orders. We understand that he was going to put Anderson back "o work and the new men would be here to go to work Monday. We quit ahead of being discharged." The strikers are doing picket duty now to induce the new men not to go to work when they come in. They do not have a labor organization. Mr. Schick did not deny the state ments made by the men when asked about the walkout. "We have got to have some men, is all I've got to say." HAS THE PEfffi GOT IT. Eastern Road Said to Be in Con trol of Santa .Ve. New York, May 22. The Tribune says: The conference just held between A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania railroad; William K. Vanderbilt, H. McK. Twombley and other directors of the New York Central at the Grand Central station, led to the report that a successor to Samuel R. Callaway was the subject under discussion. This was denied last night. It is now said that the western situation that is the control of Union Pacific and Northern Pacific was under discussion. It is understood that the Pennsylvania and the New York Central will act in harmony in pro tecting their interests in the western territory, just as they act in harmony in the east. The Pennsylvania is prac tically in control of the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe railroad now and will, it is said, operate it in harmonious re lations with the Union Pacific and Chi cago Northwestern, both of which are practically Vanderbilt roads. It is also said that the Morgan-Hill scheme in the northwestern territory is viewed by these interests with disfavor Death of Editor Lallance. Huntington. W. Va., May 22.

When a person has used coffee for a number of years and gradually de clined In health, it is time the coffee should be left off in order to see whether or not that has been the cause of the trouble. A lady In Huntsville. Ala., Mrs. S. M. Brazier, says she used coffee for about 40 years, and for the past 20 years was troubled with stomach trouble. "I have been treated by many physicians, but all in vain. Everything failed to perfect a cure. Was prostrated for some time, and came near dying. When I recovered sufficiently to partake of food and drink I tried coffee again and It soured on my stomach. "I finally concluded coffee was the cause of my troubles and stopped using it. I tried tea and then milk In its place, but neither agreed with me, then I commenced using Postum Food Cof fee. I had it properly made and It was very pleasing to the taste. "I have now used It four months, and mv health is so greatly improved that I can eat almost anything I want and can sleep well, whereas, before, I suf fered for years with insomnia. i "I have found the cause of my trou bles and a way to get rid of them. You can depend upon it I appreciate Pos tum." I REPORT ON CANTEEN LAW. It la Asked For From Post Command ants by Gen. Brooke. New York, May 22. The Times strys: General Brooke has sent out an order to all commandants of posts in the de partment of the east to send to him on September 1 a complete report of the results which have ensued upon the abolition of the army canteen. Officers say that these reports will show beyond cavil that' intemperance has largely in creased under the new regime and it is predicted that the next congress will give serious consideration to the real situation as it has developed. Seven privates absent without leave from Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., have just been locked up in the military prison at Governor's Island which is the head quarters of the department. They dis appeared from their post immediately after pay day of this month and their troubles are attributed by officers to the abolition of canteens. A reporter interviewed a number of of ficers at Governor's Island and every one of them was saying. "I told you so," when the cases of Fort Sheridan, Fort Snelling and Fort Ethan Allen, were called to mind. The officers there regard it but 'as a matter of a short time when the public sentiment of the nation will demand the re-establishment of the canteen. Captain Adams, who was acting ad jutant general at Governor's Island in General Sheridan's absence, said that since pay day there had been unusual trouble in nearly every post in the de partment and he understood in other departments also. The number of men arrested has been larger than usual and there have been a noticeable number arrested for intoxication. He was not prepared to say just what the percent age of Increase was. Trouble is reported at Fort Hamilton, Fort Schuyler, Fort Wadsworth, Fort Hancock and at Willett's Point. Pay day at Fort Totten.Willet's Point, Long Island Sound, came last Wednes day and the 491 soldiers stationed there drew about $20 per man. Since that time there have been wild and hilarious times in the saloons of WThitestone, the near est village to the reservation, and in the half dozen road houses that are situa ted at intervals alonsr the road that leads from the fort to the village. The records at the fort show that for the first 20 days of this month there have been seven court martials on "drunk and disorderly" charges and 12 for absence without leave. The 21 ab sentees and the 12 men now in guard house will add considerably to those fig ures. There have been since the last pay day as many as ten men absent without leave at one time from one com pany of less than 100 men. Commenting on this Major W. M. Black, the commandant of the fort, stated that the number was unpreceden ted in his recollection. Major Black, Adjutant Howell and every officer and soldier interviewed at the fort gave without hesitation the opinion that the change for the worse in the general discipline was due en tirely to the abolition of the canteen and the turning over of the soldier of his monthly pay in his pocket to the tender mercies of the outside saloonkeeperswho thrive in the vicinity of military posts. The force now at Fort Totten consists of four companies of the Second bat talion of engineers, the nucleus of three companies of the new Third battalion of engineers that is being recruited and the Eighty-second company of the coast artillery. With few exceptions, all these men are veteran soldiers of the highest branches of the service and in character are well up in the general average of the American soldier. COLLATERAL IN SIGHT For the $100,000,000 Union Pacific Bonds to Be Listed. New York, May 22. The Tribune says: Bankers affiliated with the Har riman syndicate say that collateral for the entire $100,000,000 Union Pacific first lien convertible 4 per cent, gold bond3 of 1901, recently authorized, application for listing which has been posted at the stock exchange, has already been de posited by the Union Pacific, but the exact nature of this collateral cannot be learned. It is understood that the $75,000,000 of Southern Pacific stock pur chased In February with the proceeds of $10,000,000 of the bonds represents part of it, and it is assumed that the Northern Pacific stock recently bought, aggregating at least $78,000,000 par value, according to the statements of Union Pacific interests, also will be de posited as collateral security. No esti mate can be formed of the total amount paid by Kuhn. Loeb Co. for their Northern Pacific holdings, although it is believed on good authority that they secured most of their referred stock at well under par. A provision exists, It is said, by which a substitution of collateral may be effected; so that if the whole amount of Northern Pacific stock bought shall be turned in as collateral part of the company's property originally covered by the mortgage may be withdrawn from that obligation. It is the opinion in the street that the $60,000,000 bonds, if sold at par, as were the $40.0000.000. which were disposed of at the time of the Southern Pacific purchase, would not meet the cost of the Northern Pa cific shares bo'-erht by Kuhn. Loeb Co. The suggestion is therefore heard that possibly some arrangement may have been made for the sale of part of those stock holdings in the St. Paul and the Northwestern, the safeguarding of the interests of whic h was declared to be partly the object of Mr. Harriman and his associates in buying for control of the Northern Pacific. TO SERVE K RIO GRANDE. United States and Mexican Commis sion at Work. Chicago, May 22 A special to the Chronicle from El Paso, Texas, says: Representatives of the United States and Mexican boundary commission have just embarked on a voyage down the Rio Grande in three boats to make ob servations and a more eomnlete survev of the river. P. D. Cunningham, chief engineer of the United States commis sion, is at the head of the expedition. The' party proposes to follow the course of the river from El Paso to the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of nearly 1,300 miles. It will require three months to make the trip and for a distance of six hun dred miles all communication with the outside world will be cut off. The voy age is considered an extremely hazard ous one, as in many places the river consists' of dangerous rapids and but little Is known of its windings where it traverses the Grand canyon. Rioters Stone the Police. London, May 22. A dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated May 21, says: The strikers at the Obuchoff iron works, at Alexandrovsky. in this vicinity, had a collision with the authorities yesterday. Some 3.500 rioters stoned the police, in juring twelve of them. The police were reinforced by soldiers, who fired their revolvers, killing two men and wound ing seven. One hundred and twenty persons were arrested. i A TEXAS CONGRESSMAN. Recommends Pe-ru-na as a Permanent Cure for Catarrh and as a Grand Tonic. CONG. R. C. DeGRAFFENREI I) FROM TEXAS. Congressman R. C. DeGraffenreid, ment to Peruna, the great catarrh The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, dentlemen "After the use of Peruna for a short time I am convinced that It is all you claim for it. It is a grand tonic and I can recommend It as a safe and permanent cure for catarrh." R. C DeGraffenreid. Sore throat has many names. Some call it catarrh of the pharynx. It is also called chronic tonsilitis. Follicular pharyngitis is the name that doctors de light to call it, as they generally prefer the longer words. Public speakers and preachers are so prone to have sore throat, that it is sometimes called preachers' sore throat. It makes little difference what name we call it just plain sore throat is hard enough to bear without indulging in long names. Chronic sore throat gener ally begins by a scratching sensation in the throat, and there may be a little dryness or constant desire to keep swal lowing. Painful swallowing and hawk ing is sure to come later if nothing is done for it. Sore throat is almost certain, after it has become chronic, to gradually extend downward to the lungs. When this hap pens consumption is often the result. The time to cure sore throat is in its early stages. A bottle or two of Peruna is sure to put a stop to the whole thing. If Mr. Charles D. Smyth, whose testi monial appears here had used Peruna at the beginning of his trouble, he would have been saved years of sickness caused by neglecting to use Peruna in time. .Charles T. Smyth, of Angel's Camp, Cal.. says: "Chronic catarrh in the head, nose and throat has been a source of trouble and annoyance to me for more than ten years. I have used all such medicines as came under my notice as a catarrh cure without any help to me except at times by some, only a tem porary relief, but no cure. "Peruna is a sure cure. There are no substitutes for Peruna. There are no AWFUL PRISON TREATMENT General Uribe Speaks of Colombian PoliticalPrisoners. New York, May 22. Gen. Rafael Uribe, the Colombian revolutionary leader, now in this city, issued a state ment last night regarding the treat ment of political and military prisoners by the present Colombian government. He said: 1 "The penitentiary at Bogota is a small one, and in it have been crowded more than 2.000 political prisoners be sides 500 ordinary criminals. In order to get sleep the prisoners hove to take turns at lving dowh, as there is not enough room for all to lie down at once. Their beds are the damp, cold and filthy pavement of the prison. There being neither water nor sanitary facilities, the wretches breathe only poisoned air. and smallpox, dysentery and typhus fever have been playing havoc among the unfortunate creatures. "These statements are confirmed In the records published by the official board of health. Well known and prominent men have been loaded with heavv chains. Anong the prisoners is a large number of boys from 10 to 14 years old. The methods followed for sending people to the dungeons have been copied after those of the inquisi tion; that is, the anonymous denuncia tions. "Gen. Marceliano Velez. the commander-in-chief, on being appealed to by the prisoners, and finding himself powerless to put a stop to the horrors, resigned. i "The government promised to re lease the prisoners if I would Issue a manifesto advising the Liberals to stop fighting. In spite of the fact that the government has not kept its word, the fighting will cease for a time. When, however, the Liberals have succeeded in gathering sufficient money and am of Longview, Texas, gives his endorse remedy, in the following letter: Hotel Wellington, Washington, D. C. O.: other remedies that are just as good. In sist upon having Peruna. Peruna never fails. It is an old. well tried remedy. "My physician, to whom I applied, did not do any better. My troubles be came worse and my suffering increased instead of improving. "Loss of appetite, sleep and flesh, be sides continual coughing and pain, show -ed too plainly that my case was a desperate one. I lost almost all faith in the so-called catarrh cures, when I read about Peruna, and concluded to try this as a last resort. '"Thanks to Dr. Hartman's invention I now enjoy as good health as I ever di'l sleep soundly. have excellent appetite, and having gained in weight more than 1 ever did in my life. I have used nine bottles of Peru na and no other medicine, to ef fect my cure, and I can must sincerely recom mend it to a suf fering humanity afflicted as I have been." Charles D. Smyth. No other remedy is so widly known and so universally used for sore throat, coughs, colds, la grippe, and all other catarrhal diseases. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, for a handsomely illus trated, free book on catarrh. It treats of the many phases and stages of winter catarrh and their cure. munition the fighting will be resumed. When it begins again I shall return to Colombia to lead the Liberal army." STAND IN THE WAV. County Commissioners Refuse to Re pair Fair Ground Buildings. The county commissioners late Tues day afternoon turned down the request of the Topeka Exposition association for $4,000 worth of improvements at the fair grounds. The exposition company has been endeavoring to secure the al l of the con missioners in repairing the buildings and building what additional ones are needed at the fair grounds before attempting to secure the charter of the company and begin active oper ations.
