M LAST EDITION. TOPEKA, KANSAS i JULY 14, 1902. MONDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. SHIPPING AT A STANDSTILL. Every Day Is Sunday in Chicago Freight Business. Not a Found of Merchandise En ters or Leaves the Sheds. 20,000 MEN ARE IDLE. Wholesale Houses Abandon All Attempts to Do Business. Losses of Tarious Interests Placed at $1,000,000 a Day. Chicago, July 14. The second week of the freieht handlers" strike began to day with 20,000 Idle and shipping at a standstill. The railroad warenouses, or dinarily a hive of Industry, were al most as quiet as they were yesteraaj as far as regular business was con cerned. At a distance from each ware- house was a company of pickets posted to keep the freight from entering or leaving the sheds. Nearer the depot were guards of police on duty to pro teot the men in the warehouses and to quell any disturbance which might arise. Gangs of non-union men, brought Into the city to take the places of the strik ers, lounged about the warehouses or In their carts with scarcely anything to do. President Curran of the Freight Handlers union appointed committees to visit the various railroads. But his proposition, had reverted further than ever from the ideas of the railroad managers and no hope was expressed that a settlement would be made today or even this week. The line between the opposing parties was plainly drawn to day, and no move on either side was made to cross it. Wholesale houses made practically no attempt to send out freight or to re ceive it. These big establishments were all closed down. The strike has cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars already, and they stand to lose mil lions should the conditions which ob tained this morning continue. The loss in wages to the striking freight handl ers ana tnelr sympathizers, the team sters, to the railroads and other lines of business is roughly estimated at con siaerably over Jl.000,000 a day. The sit u it ion is admittedly very grave. MARKET IS DEAD. Commission merchants in South Wa ter street declared that the usually ani mated market is dead. In time of com mercial peace this street is one of the most congested in the world. Today in front of many of the stores there was not a wagon and scarcely a crate, fcoxor barrel of produce. Some had a few berries brought by boat from Michigan and Wisconsin, but these were about the only fresh arrivals. Thirty cars of highly perishable stuff were reported on the tracks while many more cars con taining commodities which will last a few days longer lay abandoned. Of today's arrival by rail only two carloads were cared for promptly. These contained live poultry. It was said that the humane society would not allow them to perish and a permit was se cured to take them to South Water street. One wholesaler had a carload of Georgia peaches on sale. They cam in Saturday by rail but the teamsters refused to haul anything from the rail roads. The dealer thereupon shipped the car around the lake to St. Joseph, Mich., where the consignment waa transferred to a boat and reached here this morning. President Field of the Knickerbocker Ice company stated today that the ice men were hauling ice everywhere, in cluding the railway depots and to cars. This was denied by some of the strikers. A driver in a light wagon who suc ceeded In delivering two small packages to the Santa Fe had a stirring time of it When it became apparent to the striking pickets that he was headed for the warehouse, they made a rush for him. A squad of policemen came to the rescue and the driver reached the ware house in safety. "Better come inside where you'll be safe," one of the non-union freight han dlers advised. Several hours later the wagon still stood empty where the driver had left it. The latter remained in the warehouse while pickets guarded every avenue of escape. So far as could be learned this driver's two packages were the only ones delivered during the forenoon to any depot. Much fruit and vegetables which came In yesterday was reshipped last night, although It is said, without ade quate refrigeration. Vegetable and fruit peddlers succeeded in getting par tial supplies from the depots during the day, but it was only after much fight ing with the pickets and assistance from the police. Tons of half-spoiled stuff was given to poor people who waited at nearly all the depots In crowds, each carrying a basket or bag. Despite the assertions of President Field of the Kickerbocker Ice company, that Ice was going to the freight houses, pickets asserted that not one cake of Ice had passed through their lines this forenoon. At 1:30 p. m. President Curran of the handlers gave out a statement in which he said: "All of the conferences today have failed, although we sent commit tees of their own to managers as they had requested. Hereafter the managers will have to confer with officials of the union. If they want te waste $100,000 a day over a question of a cent Increase In wages, we will let them try it." DROWNED NEArVHOME. William Kennedy Loses His Life in Ward's Creek. William Kennedy, the 15-year-old son of James Kennedy (colored), whb lives on Ward's creek, north of Potwirf.was drown ed In the stream near his home at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon while in swim ming with other boys. At the point where the accident occurred, which is north of Greenwood avenue, the back water from the river has filled the little stream to a depth of 12 or 15 feet. There was no cur rent in the stream and the hnv wan airrnA urusn. The other boys, who were larger than Kennedy, say that he sank and came to the surface several times, but made no outcry, and they thought he was letting down to find the bottom and did not be come alarmed until they saw him for the last time. Then they threw some small logs into the stream in hopes that he might catch them, and gave the alarm. A Crowd collected and Mr, Frank Sauirea, the architect, made an effort to find the boy Dy aiving, but was unsuccessrui. James Kennedv. the father of the boy. ran down stream to find a beat, but it waa at least an hour before a boat could be brought up from the river. In reply to a teiepnone message tne patrol wagon, wit a several policemen, drove out to the scene, but could do nothing toward the recovery of the body until boats arrived. After a search of three hours the body was located about 10 feet from the spot where the boy sank, and was brought to the surface by a diver at 6:15. The coroner could not be round by tele phone and the body was removed to the Kennedv home, a short distance from the place where the drowning occurred. me iunerai was neia at o ciock mis afternoon. FOXYTRACY. Outlaw Works a Neat Game on the Officers and Gets Away. Seattle, Wash., July 14. While the deputies were confident yesterday that Tracy must be near the end of his rope, the information received this morning is not encouraging. Tracy was twice reported near the Indian reservation, close to Enumclaw,-last evening. This morning the posse ac companying the dogs rushed from Kanasak to Buckley on a false clew, only to find a message that Tracy had exchanged shots with the deputies near Palmer last night. The men and dogs at once started back to Palmer by way of Enumclaw. The following message was received at 11 o'clock this morn ing: "Enu-nclaw, July 14. After a wild ride from Buckley to Enumclaw the posse brought the freight to Palmer.. Word has been received here that Tracy has fought a battle with two deputies at the Palmer school house last night. No particulars or names are known. Almost anything may be expected now. Tracy worked a neat game on the of ficers in order to get to Palmer. He was within a mile of that place yester day morning when he learned that the officers were there. He then worked back towards Enumclaw and showed himself on the road to Buckley. He was in the woods, and while officers were stationing guards he ran a mile and boarded a freight train on a grade and proceeded to Palmer, where he is now, no doubt, making for the Stam pede Pass." FLOOD AT LAWRENCE. Birer Breaks an Embankment, Doing Much Damage. Lawrence, Kan., July 14. The em bankment across the old river bed north of Lawrence, througn which the Kaw river broke yesterday, gave way today and fifty feet of Union Pacific track went out. This tied up that railroad as well as the Santa Fe. The river here rose three inches during the night. A number of houses in North Lawrence have tjeen deserted, a large portion of the country having been submerged as a result of yesterday's break. Two spans of the Linwood bridge went out this morning and the Eudora bridge is in a weakened condition. S UN DAT AT OTTAWA. Chautauquans Attend Service at Various City Churches. Ottawa, Kan.. July 14. Sunday was the usual quiet day on the Chautauqua grounds. Most of the visitors attended the city churches. W. Larrimore spoke at the First Presbyterian church, where he took his club of more than 100 boys. PrnfMonr T T M i -74.1 ITnn I preached at the North Ottawa M. e! church. Rev.

But the Mercury Only Indicated 89 Degrees. This Is a hot day. Observer Jennings admitted as much at noon today. The government forecast sent out this morning was "generally fair tonight and Tuesday except possibly local thun der storms this afternoon or tonight." The highest temperature recorded Sun day was 89. The minimum temperature this morning was 72. The wind today has been southwest blowing 6 miles an hour. The hourly temperatures record ed by the government thermometer to day were as follows: 7 o'clock 75111 o'clock 86 8 o'clock 78:12 o'clock 87 9 o'clock 791 1 o'clock. ..88 10 o'clock 83 2 o'clock 89 Mother of the Dalys Dead.

Railway Communications With Kansas City Stopped. Bridge on Union Pacific Goes Out. RIVER IS SUBSIDING. Fall of Three and a Half Inches Recorded. Unprecedented Height of 16 Feet Four Inches Reached. At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the Kansas river bad fallen 3 inches since 10 o'clock. Railroad communication between To peka and Kansas City was completely shut off today when the high water washed out a small bridge and a small portion of the track of the Union Pa cific railroad about a mile and a half west of Lawrence. Two Union Pacific passenger trains, Nos. 6 and 2 have been standing In the yards in North Topeka all day waiting for the track repairs or for arrange ments to run the trains over other lines to Kansas City. By the damage to the Union Pacific tracks at Lawrence railway communica- House Near Foot of Quincy Street Occupants Have Been tion was shut off from Topeka to the east. The Santa Fe for two days has been using the Union Pacific be tween Topeka and Kansas City for through passenger trains and the Rock Island uses that road regularly. Three Rock Island trains were held up in the yards at Topeka this morning for several hours awaiting arrange ments for running the trains to Kansas Citv in another manner. All the passengers from the west, south and soiv. twest for points east of Altmont, Mo., were placed on two of the trains and sent to their destinations via the St. Joseph branch of the Rock Island to Altmont. All the passengers for Kansas Citv and local points be tween Kansas City and Altmont were placed on the eastbound Colorado flyer which was run to Pierce Junction, the first station north of Horton and run to Kansas City over the lines of the Missouri Pacific. The Santa Fe has been running Its trains via the cutoff and Ottawa. The only train from Topeka to the east to day Is the one at 4:30. It is planned to run to Topeka and back to Osage City, thence to Kansas City by way of Quen emo and Ottawa. It is not known how soon the Union Pacific track will be cleared and opened for use between Kansas City and To peka. A freight train accident on a piece of soft track will delay the work considerably. A Rock Island freight car broke down on a stretch of soft track and great difficulty is being encounter ed in clearing the track. The Santa Fe is running local trains between points not served by regular trains and the point where the washout occurred at Lake View. A special train was sent west from here this morning at 11:55 o'clock carrying mail as far as Emporia. Eastbound mail was carried on this train to Emporia where it was transferred to regular eastbound trains over the cutoff. Mail was sent east again this afternoon over the Rock Is land via Pierce Junction to Kansas City. COUNTRY IS FLOODED. The highest point reached by the Kan sas river was at noon Sunday, when the water measured 16 feet and 4 Inches. From Sunday noon until 10 o'clock this morning the water has been about sta tionary. Trees in leaf have been float ing down stream, which indicates that the water is cutting away the banks west of here. Since Sunday morning hundreds of acres of bottom lands west and east of Topeka have been inundated and with every inch of rise the damage is great ly increased. In many places there are grave fears that the water will cut a new channel. There are no trains between Topeka and Kansas City. East of Topeka on both the north and south sides of the river the country is under water and the river Is from a half mile to a mile wider than usuaL On the north side two miles east of Topeka the Grantville road is five feet under water and at that point the river is nearly a mile wide. The family named Owens, living on the J. B. Billard farm, were forced to abandon the house. The house is a half mile from the river but it is surrounded by water several inches deep and the family escaped to a place of safety Sat urday night. The Kellam farm, nearby, is also under water and the family liv ing there were forced to leave their home. Indian creek, east of Topeka, is out of its banks on account of the water back ing up from the river. The bridges across the creek are in danger and wa ter covered the approaches to the bridges to a depth that soaked wagon boxes which were driven through. The Brooks nursery on the north side of the river and the Taylor nursery on the south side are both partly submerged. On the south side of the river north of Oakland the low ground is all under water and the family of Penas Taylor escaped from the house in a boat.'-The river has cut across the country Just below Oakland. The river cut through the shallow bank which separated the river from the old raceway dug for the proposed dam. The water followed the raceway to the low ground east and then divided making two streams of water. Several hundred acres of farm land are under water. Adam Wadelich, who lives on a point of land in the bend of the river, was forced out and his place Is several feet under water. Half a dozen colored families living on the land In the bend of the river between Oakland and the Grantville bridge have been driven out of their homes.- There Is a quarter of a mile of water between the approaches to the Grantville bridge and the land. The Kuehne farm east of Oakland is cut off from the road on account of the water, which cut across the country from the old raceway. The house is 408 yards from the river and now stands on an island. At Michael's grove, just east of the south end of the Sardou avenue" bridge, the water was cutting the bank away Sunday and men were at work cutting trees and forming a riprap in hopes of stopping the cut- in North Topeka From Which the Driven by the Water. ting away of the bank. At 11 o'clock Saturday night the seventh pier of piling on the city rail way bridge was carried out and the bridge sank about three feet at that point. A heavily loaded car had start ed across the bridge from the north side. The mo tor man was keeping a sharp lookout. He saw that something was wrong and stopped the car. He took the headlight and went forward. He found the bridsre had sutred three feet and was unsupported by piling iJad. the car gone on the weakened place it would have gone down. The-street cars are now running to-the bridge at each end, and transfers are being given. People have to walk across the wagon bridge. The water and gas mains are laid un der tne ties of the street railway bridge, This-morning the water main was in tact and Superintendent Jesse Shaw said that he did not believe there was any danger of the main breaking. Should the main break North Topeka would be. left without water. The gas main sprung a leak when the city rail way bridge was weakened and Sunday many houses in North Topeka were without gas. At 11 o clock this morn ing the report was received from the pumping station three miles west of To peka that according to the gauge there the river had fallen nearly three inches since Sunday afternoon. Sunday afternoon about 6 o'clock a wooden bridge about 50 feet long came uown the riverwith a large tree jam med against It. The bridge had been carried out of some smaller stream west of Topeka by the tree striking It The men working on the city railway bridge got it through but for awhile it looked as If the street car bridge might go with it. "Little Russia" is now practically de serted. The water Is over the floors of nearly all the houses there and Is dan gerously near the store house of the Inter-Ocean mills. Sunday noon a calf on a little knoll in "Little Russia" was surrounded by several feet of water.The calf, however, warn high and dry al- thougn its escape "vvas cut off. The Up degraff farm on the north side three miles west of Topeka is now well under water. At noon today Manhattan reports that the Blue river is rapidly railing. FILLS NORTH TOPEKA SEWERS. -The high water has filled the sewers and at Kious and Madison streets, in North Topeka. the water from the sewer is running out of the manholes and over the street. All the sewer mouths in the river are several feet under water. The higher the water is in the river the further back the water in the sewers is forced. This is the only report of the sewers overflowing so far. BRICK PLANT BRIDGE DAMAGED. Sunday 72 feet Of the approach to the brick plant bridge west of town was carried out. The water washed the sand away and then cut through the bed of the river below the ends of the piling. The 'approach to the Sardou avenue bridge on the north side is under water for a distance of 100 feet. At the othev bridges the water Is cutting away the banks and approaches and considerable damage may yet be done. DAMAGE AT WOLFF'S. At the Wolff Packing company's plant the floors of some of the work rooms are under water. The pumps have been at work constantly, but the rise of the river was so great that the water in the cellar could not be kept down and Sunday the water crept up over the floors in several places. The plant is still running but the water troubles the workmen. REPAIRS AT LAKE VTEW. Repairs- on the Lake View washout of the Santa Fe were continued through Sunday-and are under way yet today. A large force of workmen was on duty mere Sunday getting out material an early In the afternoon a train load ot rails and bridge timbers was sent down to the place.- A little later General Manager Mudge followed on a special train. Division Superintendent McClel lan and Trainmaster Austin have been there since the trouble began. The Colo rado flyer, the fast mail and No. 1, the California express, have been running over the Union Pacific tracks from Kan sas City to Topeka, all more or less delayed but getting through in time. There will be about 240 feet of track to reoair at Lake View and two pile drivers are kept working there all the time. It is thought that possibly by CContinued on Sixth PageJ GETS OVER FENCE. Ewing Herbert Advises Repub- licans to Bolt Bailey. Retaliate for Not Supporting Curtis for Senator. THIS ROUSES ANTHONY Again Turns His Guns Upon the Congressman. Interesting Comment on Sen ator Burton's Speech. It looks as though there is danger of the Republicans of the First congres sional district getting into a glorious mix-up early in the campaign. Follow ing the attack of the Anthonys of Leav enworth on Congressman Curtis and his senatorial candidacy, Ewing Herbert, editor of the Hiawatha World, who is Mr. Curtis manager in Brown county. comes out in his last issue with a dou ble column editorial on the first page of his paper, advising the friends of Cur tis to bolt Bailey for governor in re taliation for the fight some of Bailey's friends are making on Curtis for sen ator, although they are supporting him for re-election to the lower house. Just what will be the outcome of this action it is impossible to state. It is not probable that Mr. Curtis will stand for the action of Mr. Herbert, at least not publicly. Baileys friends, even those in Doniphan county, supported Curtis for renomination for congress man from the First district and have been supporting him since, and Mr. Bailey himself has declared that the differences between Mr. Curtis and him self are at an end so far as he is con cerned. In commenting on Mr. Herbert's edi torial the Leavenworth Times says: "The Brown County World this week urges Curtis men to bolt Bailey at the polls. This was a surprise coming from the World, the editor of which is a Cur tis appointee and also a campaign man ager for Curtis.. "Another appointee, a postmaster.also, has come to the front with the assertion that It will take the Curtis votes to elect Bailey,' and 'the Curtis men in Jef ferson county can give Bailey a thou sand majority in the county or they can beat him a thousand, as they see fit.' This last is from Henry Roberts, post master and editor at Osakloosa. "To the man ud a tree it looks as though the Curtis fellows had lined up in an effort to defeat Bailey. "But it will not work. The Republi cans of the district are too loyal to the party for them to be influenced by Cur tis to the extent of going to the polls and voting against Bailey. He may be able to influence the men he has ap pointed to office but he can not get the rank and file of the Republicans to en dorse his tomahawk methods for they are with Bailey.". Clay Center Times: If -it should turn out that the man appointed to succeed Pete Foley in the Parsons' postoftlce is and always has been a Demorat; if it should turn out that he is and has been for some time an employe in Foley's print shop; if it should turn out that not one person in five in Parsons knows him or know of him or ever heard of him all of which is being affirmed with considerable vehemence and assurance by some pretty good and reliable news papers (though of course much or all of it may be untrue), then the president should call Senator Burton outside the city limits Some afternoon and lick him half to death in about a noly minute. Without discussing Foley's merits or demerits the least little bit it looks as though the president had been shame fully imposed upon by some one. The senator's friends hope and believe he is not responsible for it; that he has been deceived also. It is possible that there may be an Innovation In the coming campaign in the use of talking machines In politi cal meetings. Of course, some political speakers are little more than talking machines, but the machines which Chairman Albaugh contemplates using in Republican meetings will be a varia tion of that kind. It is proposed to se cure a big graphophone and have it re produce speeches of W. J. Bryan and other Democratic leaders in times past in which they have made dire predic tions about 25-cent wheat and 8-cent corn in case of Republican success. There will also be extracts of other speeches by Democratic leaders, pre dicting the establishment of am empire In case McKinley was re-elected in 1900. Two years ago Mr. Albaugh introduced an innovation in the shape of stereop ticons and also Albert Reid's and Tom McNeal's "chalk talk," but the grraph phones will be a greater innovation than ever. People who have been speculating as to why the Republican candidate for governor never took a helpmate to his home, may be Interested in a story ad vanced by a writer in theChicago News. It may be true and it may not. Prob ably Mr. Bailey knows more about it than anyone else. This writer says: "Old students of the University of Illinois of about a quarter of a century ago recall a handsome, impressive youth of the Websterian sort who was the W. J. Bailey of that day. They recall also that he was the victim of co-education fell head over ears in love with a pret ty girl from a central Illinois town. They recall that the two were engaged to be married; that young Bailey rush ed away from college, gave up- his chances of graduating, went to Kansas, built a home for his expected bride and was nearly ready to come back to claira her when he received cards announcing her marriage to another man. That was the experience of young Bailey. It was a fearful blow to him, for there is no doubt that he was far gone in 'the love habit" in that particular direction. But he gave up the sex then and there. He is a fine fellow but I for one am not surprised that he never gave another woman a chance to fool him." It looks as though the weather is working against Congressman Reeder. Since the passage of his irrigation bill there has been too much rain in some localities and the farmers don't want to hear anything' about more water. There is still time for a "dry spell" before elec tion, however. There will be a fight between the Bur ton and anti-Burton crowds in Dickin son county over' representative. Emil Grosser, whb has been in the legislature from Dickinson county for two terms, will run again and will receive the sup port of the Burton crowd. The anti Burton element will support J. R. Van Voorst, now register of deeds. Grosser announced some time ago that he did not want the office again as it took too much time, but when a fight was start ed on him he made up his mind to go into it again. If he wins he may be the candidate of the Burton crowd for speaker of the house. The Leavenworth county Republicans will not hold their convention until Sep tember, as usual. The reason given is that a late convention will make a short campaign and will not give the grafters as much time in which to hold up the candidates. Here are a few comments made .by the Kansas press on Senator Burton's speech: Congressman Scott: Senator Burton made as good an argument as can well be made for his side of this question, but we doubt if his warmest friend will claim that it is strong enough to defeat a distinctly Republi can measure, strongly urged by a Re publican president and emphatically endorsed by a Republican convention of his own state. It is a very serious matter for a United States senator to oppose a public policy proposed by the president of his party and supported by the declared sentiment Qf his own con stituents. An honest and courageous man of course will do this when., his opposition rests, upon a profound con scientious conviction. Senator Burton does not base his defense upon this ground for he admits that the question is solely an economic and not a moral one and declares that when congress meets again he will support the bill if his constituents still demand it. In view of this admission and promise it cannot be denied that he has made a serious political mistake, and his best friends are those who will advise him to rectify It in the best way and at the earliest moment possible. Manhattan Nationalist: Senator Burton said at Topeka that he is now willing to do the people's will. Why wasn't he wiU ihg sooner? He says he will waive his own prererenees. ana vote as tne people or Kansas want him to vote. That is good sense and good jjolitics; but it comes too late. The people wished to see President Roosevelt's reciprocity measure passed at the session of congress just closed. They couldn't understand that it was better that the bill should be held up while they might think- the matter over during the summer months and pray to see the error of their beliefs. Senator Burton recom mends this course to them, and it is surely the duty of a great and wise sena tor to tell his people what is good for them. But it is no more than fair that the people in their turn should tell their rep resentative some things good for him to know. And Kansas is talking very plainly to Senator Burton just now. He ought to understand. Almena Plaindealer: Some papers pre tend to believe that Burton is pursuing his present course toward the reciprocity measure because he is convinced that he is in the right on it. They delude them selves. The senator is merely trying to spite Roosevelt because the latter has re fused to.appotnt Burton's political friends, who are unworthy of office. There is noth ing of the statesman about this action. He chose the reciprocity measure as the most available weapon with which to punish the president. President Roosevelt is not built so that he can admire such "inde pendence" and "individuality." Norton Champion: Two thousand people gathered In the Auditorium at Topeka to hear Senator Burton's explanation' of his conduct in misrepresenting his state on the Cuban reciprocity and at the end of two hours rehearsing of what the people had already had dinned Into their ears by insurgent senators, but 500 people re mained. In fact the speech explained noth ing. Parsons Sun: Senator Burton's expla nation fails to explain. He promises to be good afld obev the wishes of the Republi can Bartv ef Kansas.but what is his prom ise worth? "When the devU is elck a saint he would be; bat when tne devu is weu a devil of a saint is he." Concordia Blade-Empire: It is gratify ing to notice that Senator Burton has re turned to nis senses and has concluded that he is ndt "The Whole Thing." DROPlrTCORM. Bears Hammer July Option Down About 5 Cents. Chicago, July 14 Corn bears gave bulls who are supporting the corner in July corn a severe drubbing about mid-session on the board of trade today. The market opened without any news of particular significance although the manner in which receiving houses were making contract corn and sending it into this market caused much nervous ness among the big bull leaders. The sentiment was inclined toward the bear ish side for the first two hours, yet without any signs of a stampede. When the estimate came, however, that to morrow's receipts would be 1,000 cars or over, traders who had the cash stuff in hand threw It at the bulls with such vigor that in ten minutes the price of July options dropped 5 cents. Excitement was not marked but spec ulators all over the floor voiced the opinion that the corner had been broken. Trade was pf good size, better than for several days, over half a million bushels being put out for profits by the crowd who were getting the cash stuff 20 cents cheaper Than they were selling July. The congested option opened dull, c lower than it closed Saturday with a sale at 85V4C an advance was made to 86c and then came the thud to 80c. Later there was some support given by the Gates crowd and July steadied near 80c DR. MEFFERT APPEALS. Enjoin Medical Board From Revok ing His License. At 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon the attorneys for Dr. William Meffert- se cured a restraining order from Judge Hazen against the state board of medi cal registration to prevent the revoking of Dr. Meffert's license to practice in Kansas. Judge Hazen is taking a vacation at present and he granted the restraining order which will be In effect until the beginning of the September term of the district court, when the matter will be heard. In his petition Dr. Meffert says that the board has no right to revoke his- license and that the offences with which he is charged were supposed to have happened before the law went Into effect. He also claims that the hearing before the board was not properly con ducted. Corea Will Be at St. Louis. Yokohama, July 14.

The Campanula of St. Mark's Church, Tenice, Collapsed. Famous Detached Bell Tower Is a Heap of Rnins. WAS FOUNDED IN 888. Had Been Repaired and Im proved From Time to Time. First Warning of Danger Came Sunday Afternoon. Venice, Italy, July 14. The Campanille of St. Mark's church, 98 metres high, col lapsed at 10:04 this morning and felt with a great crash into the plaza. The Campanille, which was entirely! detached from the cathedral, collapse! where it stood and Is now a heap of ruins. The cathedral and palace ot the doges are quite safe, but a corner of the royal palace was damaged. Repairs on the Campanille were to have beet commenced today. It is feared thac -there was some loss of life. The ruins are surrounded by a cordon of troopf. The first intimation of danger was ths sudden appearance yesterday of a long itudinal crack in the corner of the wait facing the clock tower and the break ing of two windows.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING. JULY 14. 1902. 1 SPORTINGJIEWS. Four Characteristics of John J. McGraw Are Given. Citizen, Ball Player Manager and Business Man. RAPID RISE TO FAME. Educated Himself in Winters After Ball Season. Plays the Races Hard But Is Yet Worth $75,000. tJ. M. Cammlngs, In Baltimore News.J Th passing- locally of John J. Mo Gravy calls attention for the moment to his widespread differing characteristics in the four roles he has been daily called upon to fill la Baltimore tb private citizen, the ball player, the base ball manager, and ths proprietor o a high class bowling alley. In all of them he was a study of unusual interest. To tha casual acquaintance at a hotel where the Orioles might be stop ping he was the urbane, polished, well informed gentleman. Inform the stranger, after Mctiraw had left him, that that was. Mr. McGraw. the man ager of the Baltimore Baseball club, and, If he was addicted to baseball, the query was bound to come quickly: "That the McGraw T 'Muggsey' Mc Graw? Why, he doesn't appear to be a rowdy." Yet that is one of McGraw's peculiarities. The Dr. Jekyll of the leisure hours sometimes became a veri table Mr. Hyde when arrayed In base ball uniform. His civility, bis sense of Justice nay, even his decency dropped from him as the shedding of a cloak, and the transformed man stood, re vealed for all to see. Umpires were his prey, and he would rend them with tha words his fury Incited with all the zest of the pictured Mr. Hyde, In business matters he was shrewd. Those who patronized the Diamond bowling alley came to see McGraw, the baseball player; they stayed to frater nize with Robinson, the less famous but Jollier partner. M'GEAW AS HE "WAS. McGraw, when he came to Baltimore a dozen or so years ago, had little to recommend him. He was somewhat uncouth, had no particular education or polish, and was rather quiet In dis position. But he studied not only the profession he expected to- follow, but the things necessary for him to take a higher place among his fellow men. He attended college in the winter months and delved in the science ot the ball field through the summer. He gradu ated in both branches of learning. He became an adept In the finer points of the national game, many of which be thought out and introduced. It may be said that if he did not actually in vent the "bunt" and the "chop" style of base hits, he and Keeler more than any other men developed them. They were, above their fellows,, physically adapted to this peculiar style of hitting. Slight in body, fast runners, and left handed batters, this pair became the bete noir of opposing pitchers and teams because of their proficiency in beating out these infield hits. McGraw not only had the admirable batting eye" necessary to carry out his intention to "bunt" or to "choR," put ne ana .Keeler could, above- all others, make and "place" ordinary safe bits to the best advantage. And Mo Graw went further, as. his own method of fielding "bunts" taught others how to render them less valuable as a means of getting a "start." He began to turn his attention to working a pitcher for a "pass" on four bad balls. His method was to pick out the good balls with unerring eye and catch them on a slanted bat in such a manner that they would fly foul, and In due time the "pass" would come. In 1899, the 'year the Orioles were In the National league under his management, McGraw work ed this scheme to perfection, and got "passed" to first a greater number of times than any other two men in the business. At that time the rule ra. gardlng the intentional fouling off of balls was a dead letter. WHAT CAUSED THE TROUBLE. This proficiency in fouling off balls proved McGraw's undoing in the Ameri can league. So much attention had been called to his skill in the art during 18 that when he became the head of the ex panded American League club in this city in. 1901 his one idea was to get to first in that manner. The American league enforced strictly the rule calling Intentional fouls strikes, and it is no wonder that the umpires, knowing not only his propensity for, but his skill in, so doing a skill of which he and his friends had openly boasted should call fouls fom his bat strikes. McGraw, not used to such a handicap, opened up his tatteries on the hapless official, who, following instructions carried out on all such offenders, would relegate him to the bench or club house. The truth is that McGraw got so to depend upon "working" the pitcher for a base en balls that be lost much of his "batting eye," which needs constant practice, and more often struck or fouled out than he made a good, honest baseball hit This fact helped to worry him and aggravate his grievance against the um pire, bo that he was liable to break out on any pretext at any moment Num erous retirements from the game result ed in suspension after suspension, and punishment but made him the more bit ter. Owing to injury and suspension, he played but little last year and less this. The former famous batter and Do not always receive the sympathy they deserve.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, Atluta. 6a. wonderful "base ""runner in fact, the run-getter par excellence and clever third baseman had degenerated into an ordinary, player; discontented, soured, full of vain imaginings, that every man's hand was against him and that his hand had necessarily to be against every man. MeG RAW'S "AGGRESSIVENESS. While in the old National league days McGraw was knows as an "aggressive" player in Baltimore and a "kicker" else where, his troubles with the umpire were not brought into such prominence as since his connection with the Ameri can league. In the old times a player could blackguard the umpire in low tone and the only notice taken of it would be a return of the compliments with interest. The American league in stituted a new order of things. In the old days McGraw used to fly into a visi ble rage, flinging his cap and glove upon the ground preparatory to making a mad rush upon the official. His teeth could be fairly seen to gnash as he hissed "language at the man who had incurred his displeasure. In the Ameri can league he has been less demonstra tive, because he knew that sort of thing would not "go" at all. But his "kicks" have been no less strenuous, if more dignified in appearance. His method since the early part of last season has been to walk up to the umpire in an apparently calm way and pace to and fro before that official, all the while using abusive language (according to the umpires statement) in a low tons of voice ana in no apparent excitement It is: impossible foe any one six feet away from either to hear what is going on, and when, the affair is over McGraw invariably insists that he only remarked bantertngly to the umpire that he was a "stiff" or addressed some polite sarcasm to him. Time and again umpires who have come to Baltimore have asserted that they had the greatest admiration and respect for McGraw's abilities as a ball player, and would have a most friendly feeling for him if he would only let them. FROM 4. MANAGERIAL STAND POINT. McGraw, the manager of 1899, was a success. From the time he took his band, of cast-offs to Savannah until they came borne be worked. He fairly drove into the heads of the players under him the principles of scientific play, and he made them practice what he preached. Every day the team was at home during the season the men were kept down to systematic, intelligent practice, and the result was apparent. The reputation of Manager McGraw was made. Last year the American League Orioles had no southern practice, bad weather lasted until far into the season, few oppor tunities were offered for teaching the men how to play, and the team got a bad start. Before the middle of the sea son Manager McGraw, "quit" and prac tically let the men run themselves as they pleased. This year he showed very plainly at Savannah that his interest in the team was gone. The character of his work as manager during the pre liminary training period was very dif ferent from that in 1&99. Morning prac tice when the club has been at home this year has been desultory and he was conspicuous by his absence when the club was traveling. In fact, the Orioles have had no manager at all this year or the greater part of last. He will probably never rank with Mr. Han Ion as a manager. He gets discouraged too soon, lacks decisiveness of action, is not resourceful in emergencies, and can not control his men, mainly because his ungovernable temper demoralizes them. M'GRAW, THE CITIZEN. Now the McGraw in street clothes is a very different man. Quiet, unassuming, refined, even-tempered one might almost say affable. he would not be recognised as a trouble-maker in any sphere of ac tion. He dresses nicely, has the polish extensive travel imparts, and is none of your roystering, flashy sports or even "hale fellow well met." "Very gentle-" manly" would' be the verdict in any cir cle. McGray has his coterie of friends who know htm well, who appreciate his many good potrSfl and excuse his few bad ones. He is not a demonstrative man and it is probable that his enmities last longer than his friendships. He drinks nothing- intoxicating, and is a strict churchman. His one passion besides base ball is tee "ponies." and durinar the last three years his attention to them, ofttimes to tne neglect or nls Baseball duties, has given rise fo invidiocs comment. AS A BUSINESS MAN. And the McGraw in his place of business presents still another character. This is aptly illustrated by a conversation over heard by the writer in the Wheeling, W. Va.,' grand stand last month. It was as follows: "I wonder where 'Muggsey is. I want to see 'MuEssey.' "I don't know him." "She! you ought to know 'Muggsey." Sassiest man I ever did see. He'll sass you right in his business place. I was in there ones in -Baltimore and he sassed me." It was easy enough to guess why the citizen of Wheeling got "sassed" If there is one- thing above all others McGraw hates, it is to be called "Muggsey" a name fastened upon him many years ago by the irreverent bleacherite o'utsiue of Baltimore and the gentleman from Wheeling had evidently burst into the Diamond one da.l with a "Hello, 'Mugg sey'!" McGraw probably turned on him a look of withering scorn, spoke Just one or two choice words and walked away, leaving the stranger to ponder. At the Diamond McGraw attended more to the details of business than to pleas ure. He is fond of duckpins and the light er forms of bowling, however, and used often to take part in Impromptu matches during the winter months. For the thous ands of people who knew htm, but whose personal acquaintance he had not, be had a cold, formal greeting, which was not likely to attract a closer friendship. WELL FIXED FINANCIALLY. McGraw did pretty well financially in Baltimore. For years he got the limit in the way of salary for those times $2,896 mall as compared with the "war" sal aries nowadays. As manager of the Bal timore National club in 18S9 he received $8,000, and when he went to St. Louis in 1900 he was paid in bonuses and salary something like $10,000. During the last two years 'he has made some money from the sale of stock in the Baltimore club that was presented him. His business venture in connection with Robinson was and attention- which' regarded as tmrelv not always be associ-J errav hatred erandsirel W7 i 2 t.

It was once said by Rob inso that the business was worth fie.OW each year to each partner. His family expenses have always been comparatively light, and he would doubt less be much better "fixed" financially even than he is were it not for his passion for playing the races. Seldom a day pass es that he is not "down" on a race some where ,and "combinations" are his favor ite hazard. He has a small army of de voted admirers at every track, who daily send htm tips" more or less reliable. Had he had as many agents in the minor leagues looking out for good young ball players as he had touts, he weuld have been more successful of late years as a manager. It was no unusual thing for him to wager $500 on a single race or com bination, and the result may be guessed. But for all that, he has amassed a snug little fortune of probably $75,000, most of which is represented by real estate in this city. KEKNE'S COLT IN FIRST. Injunction Lands Neptune Stakes at Brighton. New York, July 14. Injunction, own ed by 3. R. F. P. Keene. won the Nep tune stakes at Brighton Saturday, Salt maker, a long shot, was second, and Africander, the favorite, came in. third. With a speeial arrangement of weights the Neptune was a puzzle to conserva tive people,- although the presence of N. Turner on the back of Africander es tablished him as the favorite at 6 to 6. River Pirate was second choice at 11 to 5. The Messrs. Keene ran Injunction and Gimcrack. a beautiful son of Orna ment and Joppa, and as good as 5 to 1 could be got against them. There were some highly laudatory reports about Gimcrack, who, it was declared, would win easily. No declaration was made, however. Monte Carlo led for three furlongs, after which he retired suddenly to the rear, and for a moment the added starter, Woodlake, showed in front,only a head in front of Africander, who had gradually closed up from seventh place. In the last furlong, however. Injunction outran the field, and won decisively, while a desperate fight for place be tween Africander and Sailmaker result ed in a nose victory for the latter. The time was 1:13 4-5. Nones and Ten Candles, the favorites in the third race, were both beaten, Tom Kenny leading all the way and winning by a head from His Eminence. Little Shea rode a get-away race, and had little trouble in beating O'Connor. The Punchestown states, a steeple chase over the full course, had five ab sentees. Six went to the post, with the Widener pair. Miss Mitchell and Eo phone coupled in the betting at 4 to 5. Miss Mitchell won easily from Ris ing Sun, the second choice, with her stable mate third, Widener taking the long and short end of the purse. FEARS FOB THE RECEIPTS. Jiffries Thinks There Is Too Little In terest in the Fight. San Francisco, July 14. With the big fight but two weeks away, the public seems to take very little, interest in it and there is absolutely no betting talk. This is due largely to the fact that both Fits and Jeffries are doing their training at mountain resorts, far from railways. Jeffries fears that this apathy will hurt the attendance at the contest, with a consequence shrinkage in the "gate." and so is taking steps to arouse interest. So the champion left his quarters at Harbin's and removed to Oakland, where he will finish his work in the Reliance club gymnasium. Jef fries says he is making the change be cause ho wants to put on the finishing touches- in a climate similar to that of this city where the fight will take place. CORBETT HAS A CANCER. Former Champion Has Been Doing Too Much Smoking. New York, July 14. The real reason for James J. Corbett's refusal to jro to San Francisco for the Fitzsimn.ons Jeffries fight has just become known. He has had to undergo an operation for a cancerous growth on his tongue, caused by excessive smoking. The condition of his tongue annoyed Corbett considerably in his training, and it was decided some time ago by his physician that the use of the knife would be necessary. Dr. George Sim mons, of this city, went to Corbett's place on Long Island on Friday and performed the operation. It was suc cessful, and Corbett is resting quietly, but he will be forced to eschew the weed for some time to come. Terry's Training Ground. New York, July 14. Terry McGovern. accompanied by his brother Hughey, who is matched to meet Willie Reid for $1,000 a side, and Joe Humphreys are here from Atlantic City. McGovern, while at Atlantic City, began the pre paratory training for his championship bout with Young Corbett, which takes place at New London on August 29. Terry McGovern has been looking for permanent training quarters and will in all probability locate at Saratoga. Sam Harris is to take a run up to the spain a few days to locate quarters. Both McGoverns will train together for their fights. Art Simms, of Ohio, will be their sparring partner. 'Wolves Catch Goats. Sam Bo-wen has missed nine kids front the flock of Angora goats on the C. A. Buck farm lately, and it is pretty certain that coyotes have taken them. The goats wander off about the place, leaving the kids sleeping alone and the wolves sneak up and catch the babies.

Lather Crosswelght Killed Willis Bartlett. Man Came Home and Found the House Occupied. Wichita, July 14. Luther Crosswelght, a colored man about 40 years of age and a painter, was shot and killed by Willis Bartlett at the latter's nome at 1300 St. Francis avenue a few minutes after 11 o'clock. Saturday night. When Willis Bartlett went home ne found Crosswelght under the table with a shotgun. Bartlett Jumped toward him and Crosswelght shot with a No. 12 double-barreled shotgun. The powder burned his left arm, but none or the shots entered the flesh. During this time Crosswelght was crawling out from under the table, and was im mediately tackled by Bartlett, who kept calling for his pistol. The men were clinched and scuffling beside the over turned table. Mrs. Bartlett appeared with her husband's 8-calibre revolver and handed it to him, and immediately three shots rang out. The first shot struck Crosswelght in the breast ana penetrated the apex of the heart- The second shot struck on the side, about two inches below the axilla, and did not touch the heart, but passed en tirely through the lungs. The third shot went wild. The men were struggling close beside the door to the kitchen when the fatal shots were fired, after which Cross- weight dropped the gun and ran out side, across the pavement and fell in the gutter. He groaned and writhed in agony for 10 minutes before the ambu lance reached the scene, and he was removed to the St. Francis hospital, where he died 15 minutes later. The shooting was in self-defense. From the evidence of every witness Crossweight was under the table and made an attempt on the life of Bart lett and was killed bv the latter. Mrs. Mary Bartlett, wife of the man' who used the revolver with such deadly ef fect, thus told the story' of the affair to a reporter for the Eagle 15 minutes after the shooting occurred: I was asleep when my husband came home, but lie woke me up and then he went to the stand and lighted the lamp, and then to the north win dow and closed it. He set the lamp on the table, as he had to move a few things, and then he crossed the room to the south window and was about to close it when I saw him turn. I heard the click of something and saw him turn. There, from under the table was poked a double-barreled shotgun, and my husband yelled te me to bring his pistol, and this I began to hunt for. He jumped at the man and Just then a gun went off. I found the revolver under the bed and ran to the door and the two men were struggling. Crossweight C1Z NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY was trying to pull away, so he could use the gun again, and mv hushand wu holding him. When I got to the door my husband reached out and took the revolver from me and then began to shoot. I don't know how many times he shot, but I guess it was three or four. When he shot Crossweight drop ped his gun and started to run out of the door, and my husband followed him. I got to the door Just in time to Bee Crossweight fall out by the tree, and then my husband told him to lie still and not move or he would shoot, him again. Crossweight was lying on the ground, writhing and groaning." BELOIT CHAUTATJaTJA. Got. Stanley, T. A. McNeal and F. D. Coburn Among the Speakers, Beloit, Kan., July 14.

'Although Rock Island's policy of capital expansion has weakened the road s position as to the proportion oi capital to mileage and earnings, it has given the company enormous treasury resources," says the Chicago Evening Post. March 31, as shown in tne com pany's report, the treasury resources were over $10,000,000 larger than Marco 31, 190L "With the sale of I15.0GO.OW stocK at par, the company will have gained alto gether about J25,0OO.00O in treasury re sources, which will then amount to about 132,000,000. besides a probable $1. 000.000 in the Choctaw treasury. This will eive Rock Island a stronger treas ury position than that of any other j granger, except, perhaps, St. Paul, and will enable the cotnuany to go ahead with considerable extension wortwhich will now be in the direction of t. Louis. "The purchase of the Choctaw, as well as the increase in capital stock, was responsible for Rock Island's increase in nominal caDital each mile. The shares (pax value 150) were taken over at SO for the common and 60 for the preferred, a total cost of J23.524.0OO for stock whose par was tl5,827,500. The to tal cost of the Choctaw, including the assumption of the Choctaw bonds, was 360.400 a mile, or $13,000 a mile more than Choctaw's nominal capitalization. "Last year Choctaw's surplus after charges was $1,417,825, and for five years the average surplus was $626,027. The charges on the .purchase bonds will be $960,000 a year. Choctaw's gross earn ings a mile last year were as large as Rock Island's, and its charges a mile were less; but the previous year earn ings a mile were much less than Rock Island's. "Summing up the results of Rock Is land's last year, it may be said that the company by its capital expansion has weakened its position with reference to mileage and earnings, but has greatly strengthened its treasury resources, heretofore relatively weak. On account of the Choctaw purchase the strength of the treasury resources will not offset the weakness in capitalization; but the increase In resources is probably what the company needed most. It is now in a position aggressively to extend its lines to the proportion of those of other grangers. "Part of its Increased resources has been allotted to pay for the Burlington, Cedar Rapids Northern and the Rock Island Peoria on the basis of share for share.The purchase of the Cedar Rapids which has $7,150,000 apital stock and $16,358,000 bonds outstanding on over i 200 miles, would considerably reduce Rock Island's nominal capital a mile, although, of course, its treasury re sources would be correspondingly re duced. The total capital a mile after the purchase of these two roads would eb about $34,000." New York. July 14. Rock Island scored a sensational advance on the stock exchange Saturday, and all sorts of rumors were afloat concerning the property and given as reasons for the advance from. 182 to 190. After touch ing the latter figure, the stock reacted to 188, closing with a net advance of One of the rumors current, but which could not be traced to an authoritative source, was that the Rock Island con templated the purchase of a steamship line, the intimation being that it was the Mallory line, and planned reaching Galveston through it. Another report current as accounting for the strength of the stock was that Rock Island is interested with Illinois Central in the acquisition of Chicago and eastern Illinois, and that the latter would be operated by the two jointly. In well-informed quarters the advance was said to be due to manipulation by the western clique, which controls the property and which is in a position to mark it up or down at will. There is, and for a long time has been, no bona fide public buying of the stock, and the remarkable manipulation witnessed since the control of the property changed hands has succeeded only in mystifying Wall street anf evoking comment not at all flattering to the manipulators. Missouri Pacific also shared in the ad vance and was extremely active, nearly 120.000 shares being traded in as against 15.000 Rock Island. The advance in Missouri Pacific was said to be due to the improvement in the condition of corn in the states which contribute to the road tonnage. MOORES STILL BtTYING- Making a Determined Effort to Get Control of the Northwestern. Chicago, July 14. The Moores are re ported to have determined to secure representation on the' directorate of the Chicago Northwestern, if they do not ultimately secure control of the property. Ever since the annual meet ing of the stockholders and the failure of the Moores to get a voice in the man agement of the line, they are said to have been buying stock in the open market. It is said that at the present tine the Moores own almost as much stork in the road as the Vanderbilts If this is true they have added a large block to their holdings since the annual meeting. At the time of the annual election the Moores owned 33 per cent of the stock. The holdings of the westerners are now estimated to be at least 40 per cent of the total issue, as It is said they have added over S.OOO shares to their holdings in the last few days. A representative of the Moores said 5 r Your birthright includes Natural Food Sis natural food 0jI9Mp) Rock Island Considering Sabine Pass aa a Gulf Terminal. The management of the Rock Island Is considering the advisability of estab lishing a new port on the gulf coast, and it is therefore possible that the new line which that company is projecting from Fort Worth to the gulf will not terminate at Galveston. That a gfflf line will be built is a certainty. Vice President and General Manager S. B. Hovey, of the Chicago, Rock Island Texas, is authority for the statement that contracts will soon be let for the construction of that portion of the line between Fort Worth and Dallas, and that work will be begun as soon as pos sible. Regarding the gulf terminus of the line Mr. Hovey said: "It is by no means certain that the road will be built into Galveston. There are other gulf points which offer in ducements and it is possible that some of them will be selected. Several sur veys have been made, and the matter has not been settled beyond Dallas. Of course, Galveston is the best of the ports available, but there are draw backs to entering there.' Mr. Hovey would not state what ports were under consideration, but mentioned Sabine Pass, where the gov ernment has been spending considerable money in securing a deep water har bor. It is understood that if the Rock Island officials can induce the govern ment to make additional harbor im provements there Sabine Pass will be the terminus. IT IS A POSSIBILITY. Trains Can Ron From Chicago to H ew York in 16 Hours. Reeling off 481 miles in 460 minutes, the "Twentieth Century Limited" on the Lake Shore Michigan Southern road Saturday smashed records for fast running on that system and verified assertions made by of ficials that a 16-hour schedule could. If necessary, be maintained between Chicago and New York. The train. 4 miles west of Buffalo, was two hours and twenty eight minutes behind its schedule and then it was that the engineers were given a clear track and ordered to make their best time over the various divisions. The train covered the Li4 miles between Brockton and Cleveland In 131 minutes. From Cleveland to Toledo pushed along over the 113 miles at some points tt a speed reaching 90 miles an hour, covering the distance in 103 minutes. The run to Elkhart. Ind., 133 miles, was covered in 115 minutes- The run into Chicago from Elkhart was slower on account of the necessity of slowing down while passing through three towns where the speed of trains is limited by ordinance. Slow downs were also neces sary for the 14 railroad grade crossings in Chicago. Despite these delays the Wl miles was covered in 111 minutes and the train, which was due in the city at 9:45 a. m., arrived at the Grand Central passenger station only 28 minutes late. RECONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN. Santa Fe Gathering a Gang of Work men at Raton, N. 1YT. The Santa Fe is collecting a big force of graders and track men at Raton to work on the reconstruction of the road bed between Raton and La Junta. Not only is the roadbed beyond Raton to be rebuilt, but a large part of the road through the mountains will be double tracked. The Santa Fe is just begin ning the work of ballasting the roadbed of the New Mexico division from Raton to Las Vegas. This work will be done in rock and by the Lantrys. Heavy steel is to be laid on the new roadbed and the light steel from Las Vegas to Galisteo is to be replaced with 80 pound rails. The steel for this part of the track ia already on the ground. GALVESTON TO LONDON. New lane of Steamers to Be Put Into Service. El Paso. Tex., July 14. G. F. Roe. divis ion freight agent of the Santa Fe. has re ceived a letter from Galveston which prac tically confirms a statement in tne Gal veston News that the Cuban Steamshio company has decided to give Galveston a regular line or steamers to Lonoon. Here tofore the volume of the traffic from the southwest has been shipped, on account of lack of service from Galveston, to New Orleans or via Mallory line for transship ment at New York. The new line will give the southwest an opportunity to ship from a Texas port direct to London. Be rides it will give a shorter water route and cheaper rates. WHERE WAS THE MEXICAN? He Got a Free Ride on a Runaway Rock Island Engine. The El Paso Herald says: A Mexican helper at the Rock Island round house in Alamogordo last night had a wild ride on a runaway engine. He cleaned out the ashpan, got in the cab and start ed to move the engine. It moved, and at a speed the Mexican did not antici pate. It wound up at Dog Canyon, II miles from Alamosa, but there was no Mexican aboard. He hasn't been heard of since the engine went out of the shop. Railroad men who brought the story down this morning could not say how much the engine was damaged. Long Santa Fe Freight Train. The Sterling Bulletin says: Thurs day morning an eastbound freight took the siding here. There were 80 cars in the train and it contained 4.600,000 pounds of freight. It was hauled by one of the Santa Fe big engines. Counting 50 bushels of wheat as a two-horse load, or in other words 3.000 pounds to a team of two horses, this train equaled 1.533 teams. This train will require about 12- hours to take the freight to Kansas City, whereas the teams would require ten days of ten hours each, a total time of 240 hours each. Allowing 30 feet to a team, these teams would make a procession of over eight miles in length and would require 1,533 driv ers and 3.066 horses. It is necessary to make these comparisons some times, in order to understand the advantages we are enjoying. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE.

At Strong City the company is also making some station and platform repairs. Harry and James Thomas, members of the force of striking boilermakers striking at Needles, Cal., have returned to that place after a brief visit in Topeka with their families. Harry Thomas is promi nent in the union there, being correspond ing secretary and one of the grievance committee which a number of times has conferred with the officials of the com pany. It has been announced that the shops which the Pecos Valley and Northwestern have maintained at Roswell, N. M.. will be moved to Amarillov Tex., although it is understood that the company wili still have repair headquarters at the former place, which may mean as much as that which is to be moved away. This line was acquired by the Santa Fe only a few mouths ago. From Seligman to Hesperia. a distance of 3H0 miles, the Santa Fe roadbed has been sprinkled with oil to keep down the dust which heretofore has been an objec tion to tourists taking the southern route across the continent. It is thought that with tne spraying once every nve or six weeks the conditions may be kept at best for travelers, and in addition to laying the dust the oil will serve as a sort of preserv ative to the ties. R. S. Wickersham. newly appointed en gineer of tests for the Santa Fe western lines at San Bernardino. Cal.. is a grad uate of Purdue university, Lafayette, Ind. After finishing the, course of instruction there he entered the Chicago and North western shops at Chicago as a special ap prentice, and after rounding out the neces sary three years of that work, came to Topeka. where he has been engaged on certain tonnage statistics for a number of months. William Bryden, who quit his job in the water service a short time ago to play ball with a team west of here.has been mak ing a record. He plays in the box and since beginning has won six games and on the Fourth got ten dollars on the side for making the best batting average. It is understood that he has received a flatter ing offer from the Topeka Athletic Assoc iation to come back here and play with their nine. It has been decided that the Santa Fe Reds, which were formerly made up en tirely of men from the boiler-making de partment, shall be reorganized so that the nine will be composed of the best players in every department. Earl Petrie. who held the captaincy .of the machinist Blues, will probably be their new leader, and it is certain that if the proper methods are used, combined with the opportunity to train. a strong team can be put out against other amateur aggregations of this part of the country.

Although about under the equator, where the temperature is always what Ameri cans would consider high, he says he has not suffered extremely from the heat and he appears to be satisfied with the work which he is doing among tbe benighted people of that far off country. He is mar ried, his wife doing her part toward re forming the natives by organizing among them schools for instruction in domestic arts. The latest letter from him was accompanied with half a dozen photo graphs of persons and scenes of that land, and aitnough written in the latter part ot February, was not received m Topeka un til the early days of the present month.

Drees, superintendent of the Porto Rico mission of the Episcopal church, is in New York, consulting with the officials of the missionary society about the work of his denomination in that island. His object in visiting the United States is to raise JB0.00O. This fund will be applied exclusively to the schools and mission stations in Porto Rico. Speaking of religious conditions in general on the island. Dr. Drees said: "Fortunateiy we have no complications like these that have arisen in the Philip pines over the lands of the friars. Long before the United States acquired sove reignty over Porto Rico the Spanish gov ernment had taken over nearly ail of the property belonging to the monastic orders. Therefore when the United States took the place of Spain there was no serious land question to adjust. The Congregational ists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Protestant Episcopal. United Brethren and Metho dists have established stations. While we have not organized and formed a sharp division In territory like the mission work ers have in the Philippines, we have a general understanding that we will not duplicate or conflict work. All give atten tion to education and evangelization. We have started Washington, college and the McKinlev free schools at San Juan. The first has been doing good work in the kin dergarten, primary, intermediate, college preparatory and normal departments and will do much better when we get new buildings which we need. The attendance is a mixture of Porto Ricans and English. The McKinley school Is entirely Spanish and is attended by children unable to dress well enough to go to college. We furnish books and all appliances. Industrial train ing will be given the boys at Arecibo. The natives are responsive to our advances." DIGGING FOR MONET.

Washington Post: When a politician fastens on to a business collapse in the capacity of a receiver there is precious little left for the stockholders. Democrats must gain 40 seats to ob- tain control of the next house. It looks as though they are up against a dis couraging situation unless Cleveland, Hill and Bryan can be induced to keep quiet. The Philadelphia Press tells people who are figuring up the enormous losses on account of the coal strike, that the mines are always idle four months in the year, and if this time they take it out of the summer season Instead of some other, the loss will be little ox nothing, provided the strike does not last longer than four months, and work. is continued through the other eight.. When the irrigation measure passed by the last congress is put in operation it will have a tendency to prevent the recurrence of floods like those which have prevailed over the state for the past two weeks. Storage of water as proposed will thus serve a double pur pose, prevent the overflow of streams and furnish moisture when and where needed. The benefits to be derived will extend ail the way to New Orleans. In declining to enter into a fusion arrangement the Prohibitionists prob ably have decided wisely. Little has ever been gained in the way of good to the country by an arrangement of that kind. It is much like playing cards for the drinks. Those who participate in it lose even when they win. Most reforms are brought about by the independent voters who by their strength as an un known quantity force the political lead ers to do their will. New Tork Herald; .The numerous deaths from sunstroke that always oc cur at this season invest the study o their pathological causes with a mel ancholy interest. Even when the result of exposure to heat rays is not directly fatal, there are very frequently effects which persist for years. The explana tion for both conditions is duly apparent when we consider the varied, organic changes which are induced by the dif ferent kinds as well as different degrees of attack, and, while all are more or less dangerous, the necessity oi instituting the necessary preventive measures be comes proportionately emphasized. The most severe form of sunstroke occurs suddenly and often without preliminary warning and with a mortality of about 45 or 60 per cent. The mode of death Is by direct shock, involving the respira tory and cardiac centers, and giving rise to the usual symptoms of arrest of breathing and heart power. The lat- ter is supposed to be due to the rapid coagulation of the muscular elements of the circulatory organ by direct heat. THE GYPSUM TRADE. The production of gypsum in the Uni ted States during 1901, as given by Dr. Joseph Struthers in "Mineral Resources of the United States, 1901," now in press, United States geological survey. was 650,659 tons, valued at 31.5T7.4S3, as compared with 694.462 tons, valued at 81,627,203 in 1900, an increase of 65,197 tons in quantity and a decrease of 845, 710 in value. There baa been a remark able increase in. the production of evb. eum in the United States during recent years. For the ten years prior to 1899, the annual output averaged 269,712 tons. During 1900 the production rose to 594, 462 tons, and in 1901 to the maximum output of 659,659 tons. The rapid devel opment of the gypsum industry baa risen mainly from two causes; the Increased use of plaster of paris in the manufac ture of wall plaster in modern buildings because of its superiority in hardness and durability to lime plaster and the large quantities consumed In the' manu facture of "staff" for the construction of temporary buildings, particularly ex position buildings. The quantity of crude gypsum sold in 1901 was 72,669 tons, valued at $76,773, as compared with 15,479 tons, valued at $44,127 in 190Q, an increase of approxi mately 105 per cent over the produc tion of 1900. The value per ton. of the product, however, decreased from $1.24 in 1900, to $1.06 in 1901, the lowest price reported since 1890. Most of the gyp sum sold in the crude state is used for land plaster, being ground -for this pur pose by custom mills. The production of gypsum in the Uni ted States during the last three years has been derived from 17 states and ter ritories, and although this mineral oc curs in other states, the development of the properties has not yet been consid ered advantageous. The proportion of the total output of gypsum used to pro duce plaster of paris has risen during the last 12 years from about 58 per cent to about 80 per cent in 1901. A note worthy feature of the gypsum industry during the year has been the consolida tion of some 26 Independent companies in Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New Tork and Oklahoma into the United States Gypsum company. In the order of pro duction for 1901, Iowa, Kansas and Tex as, grouped together, come first, with 213,419 short tons, followed by Michigan, second, with 185,150 short tons, and by New Tork, third, with 119,565 short tons, the other states following at long inter vals, GLOBE SIGH TsT From the Atchison Globe.l How trifling your mail becomes in summer!

Efforts Being Hade to Repair the Damage. City Railway Is Transferring North Side Passengers. North Topeka is in great danger from fire. The 10-inch water main on the street railway bridge broke this morn ing at 10:30 when the bridge went out at the north end, and it will be 3 days until a temporary main can be laid across the Melan bridge. Water is now completely shut oft from North Topeka. To make matters worse, a test was made this morning of the old fire steamer, which is held for just such emergencies and it was found that the steamer is utterly useless. It is 25 years of age, and is badly worn. Besides that. it is probably clogged up with salt due to pumping brine out of the cellar of the Wolff packing house last week. An effort is being made to temporarily repair the steamer so that it can be taken to North Topeka to protect that part of town to some extent. Meantime, orders have been issued py Chief Wilmarth for the chemical engine from headquarters to respond to all alarms from North Topeka, Special vigilance will be exercised by every member of the fire department, and Chief Wilmarth enjoins the people of North Topeka to be extraordinarily careful not to start fires. It was about 10:30 this morning when the second pier at the street car bridge gave way, allowing the water main to break. The first pier went out Satur day night, allowing the bridge to sag about a foot. The railway company had before that ceased to use thebridge. When the second pier gave way this morning the bridge dropped three feet. and the water pipe was unable to sus tain its own weight and broke in two. The accident this morning occurred while the workmen of the company were trying to strengthen the break of Satur day night. It was pier 7 that went out Saturday, and pier 8 went this morning. The piers are numbered from the north side of the river. The piling fell over sidewise and the track sank about three feet. The 8th pier did not fall complete ly down, and was partially supporting the track. The woodwork was then within three feet of the water, and would not allow the passage of a drift of any depth. When the pier began to sink several men were working directly over it, but they stood not on the cere mony ot their going to other portions of the structure. The water company announced at 2 o'clock this afternoon that temporary repairs had been commenced on the main across the railway bridge, and that unless unforeseen accidents happen ed, they would be able to give "domes tic pressure" on the North Topeka. mains this evening. This would be of very little service in fighting a fire. Manager O Neill, of the water com pany, called on the city engineer and mayor this morning for the purpose of securing permission to put a main across the Melan bridge, to be used temporarily. The question was rerered to the city attorney. Manager Patten of the Street Railway company, said this morning in explain ing the cause of the disaster -to the Street Railway company's bridge: "The river has been cutting a deep channel on the north side of the stream. It has not only washed clear through the sand, but through what we call the bed of the river, and down to the bed rock to which the piles are driven. When it washed down under the piles, they of course went out. We will make repairs as rapidly as possible but it will be several weeks until cars will be run ning to North Topeka." Officials of the road have gone to Kansas City to try to purchase timbers to rebuild the bridge. It may take two weeks to get the timbers, and when everything is on the ground it will take a week more to make the repairs. Meantime the street railway is issu ing transfers to its passengers at the ends of the bridge and allowing them to walk across and take a car at the other end. There are two cars in North Topeka to handle the business, and the trolley wires are still in working order. The work of repairs on the bridge cannot be commenced until the water goes down. It seems likely that when the water does down it will have made a new channel along the north bank, but this Ja by no means certain. Chief Wilmarth is putting forth great efforts to protect North Topeka from fire in this emergency. He said today: "The reason the old steamer is out of order is simply because it is 25 years old. When we had it down to the Wolff packing house last week it did not work very well, but did much better than nothing. In pumping down there we were obliged to pump a great deal of brine, ana I believe that the valves must have become clogged. This morn ing we took it to the cistern on West Seventh street and found that it would not pump at all. "We will take the numo heads off this afternoon, and get into the valves. If we can get it into-worklng order, we will take it to North Topeka tonight. Otherwise, we will take It to some local machine shop for repairs. If the city council authorizes us, we will if neces sary, send the engine to the factory ta be rebuilt. The mains of the gas company broke this morning when the water mains broke, but the gas company will prob ably be able to serve the North To peka customers as usual. The break was not bad enough to entirely cut off the supply, but the pipes are leaking badly. r BOOK FIGHT SOON. Will Be a Hearing on Trust Restrain ing Order Wednesday. The American Book company win have a chance to fight for its Kansas business the coming fall after all. When Justice Cunningham issued the restrain ing order shutting off the company from furnishing its agents with books to sup ply the schools of Kansas, he inserted a proviso that the order could be vacated at any time by the court or- any justice thereof. Under ths proviso the attor neys for the book company will go be fore the- justices who are here on Wed nesday and argue a motion to vacate the restraining order. If they succeed in convincing the court that the re straining order should not have been al lowed, they may have a chance to do business in Kansas after all. It is ex pected that Chief Justice Doster and Justices Smith and Pollock will hear the m4ion. D. It. GJIOLD IIP Train loaded "With Tourists Robbed Near Sargents. Engineer Compelled at Point of BeTolter to Stop Train. SAFES BLOWN OPEN. Express Company Claims That No Loss Was Sustained. Passengers Were Lined Up and Relieved of Valuables. Salida, Colo., July 14. A report was received here shortly before noon today to the effect that the Denver. Rio Grande narrow gauge passenger train which left here early last night, was held up and robbed by several men near Sargents, west of Marshall Pass. The robbery took place at 8:50 o'clock today at Chester, Colo., 250 miles west of Denver. The engineer was compelled at the point of a revolver to stop the train by masked men who had climbed over the tender. Two safes in, the ex press car were- blown open, but it is claimed by the officers of the RioGrande Express company that the robbers fail ed to secure any plunder from the safes. The passengers were compelled to alight from the cars and line up alongside the tracks in the canon and they were re lieved of all their money and valuables. Many of the passengers threw away their money, watches and Jewelry among the rocks before the robbers searched them. There were many tour ists among the passengers and while it it not known how much the robbers se cured, it is presumed that the losses were heavy. The train was the west bound narrow gauge passenger train which left Den ver last night. It is not known how many passengers were on board, but the cars, as usual at this season, were all filled. There were four masked rob bers. The scene of the robbers is in a Wild, mountainous country at the foot of Marshall Pass on the west slope. BABE IN A BASKET. Two Weeks Old Infant Found on Orphans5 Home Porch. At 2 o'clock Sunday morning the mat ron of the Orphans' home was awaken ed by the cries of an infant, and upon investigation found a baby girl, about two weeks old. in a basket which had been left on the steps. Mrs. Jones and her assistants cared for the infant, and made an investigation of the clothing and basket with a view of finding evi dence of the child's parentage. Not a clue of any sand was to be found. The babe was dressed in plain white goods which bore no mark of any kind. The police were notified of the find, and proceeded to make a search for the owners of the deserted infant. They were on the trail of a woman who came into a North Topeka hotel about two or three weeks ago and while there gave birth to a.- child; On the day the child was born a well dressed and seem ingly wealthy roan came in from the west and took charge of the woman. This morning the police were convinced that they were on the wrong trail, as circumstances proved an alibi for the North side strangers. Meanwhile the little stranger at the Orphans' home is thriving, and bids fair to become a per manent boarder at the institution. TRAFFIC ABANDONED. Iowa Streams Again at Flood and Doing Great Damage.

The union men who strode are nearly all Topeka men. Several of the- leaders were asked to explain the reasons for their ac tion. It appears that Boehen, the non-union man who has caused the trouble, has been working for Contractor Carter for twenty years and that formerly he was a union man. He quit the union, he claims, be cause he did not like some of the men in it. The union men claim he was dis charged because he would not pay his dues. It is said that he offered to quit his place if Mr. Carter would request him to do so, but Carter told him to stay at work. This precipitated the strike, which has been rumored for several days. The anion men are said to claim that Carter agreed to employ none but union men on the job. Cole to Hake a Tour. State Auditor George B.

MAR6CEBETES MEET. Their Third Anniversary Described by aa, Observer. To the Editor of the State Journal: The third anniversary exercises of the Marguerites, a missionary society of about thirty young ladies of tbe West minster ITesbytenan church, given at their church Friday evening was a most impressive and delightful affair. The music waa given by three of the members and consisted of exercises on the organ, mandolin and violin. In the short addresses or missionary talks one member followed another on different topics, each, speaking with an ease and grace of an experienced and expert lec turer. Four real live young mission aries sat upon the platform and in turn took their part of the programme after tha roil call of most of the members had been responded ttx Among these was Miss Silver of Topeka, who has recent ly returned from Shanghai, China, who had with her a young girl in Chinese costume, Mtss Reynolds, a missionary teacher from Utah, Miss Miller from the Indian Territory mission, and Dr. Murillo Todd, a recent graduate of the medical college, who is to go as medical missionary to China. After songs and prayers the speeches began with a very pleasant welcome which was responded to in a paper of unusual merit by Mrs. Pond. Then fol lowed five minute talks by the mem bers on the South American mission, Syrian mission. Influence of missions on the nation, missions of the early settlers, similarity of the constitution of the United States and that of the Presby terian church, missions in the Trans mississippi region. Poem. "Mizpah, Corp a. Talk on giving. The young ladies sat in a body in the front seats of the cnurcn. ail dressed m airy summer costumes, mostly white. and presented as fair a view of feminine and spirituelle beauty and grace as one often sees. Indeed, it was remarked by by some of the visitors who have been observers for 20 years that it surpassed anything they had ever seen. The au dience filled the main room and greatly appreciated the exquisite programme. The society takes the name from Mar garet Axteli who is now a missionary in South America. The session was closed by nrayer by the venerable Dr. Bailey, after which a social hour with converse and refreshments was enjoyed. A VISITOR. ELOPED BY MOOXLIUHT.

6 TOPEKA STATE JOUHNAL, MONDAY EVENING. JULY 14, 1902. SALISBURY OUT. England's Premier Resigns the Seals of Office. A.. J. Balfour Steps Into the Position Tacated. HICKS-BEACH QUITS. Chancellor of Exchequer Hands In His Resignation. Little Disturbance to Business Results JTrom the Change. London, July 14. Lord Salisbury has resigned the premiership and A. J. Bal four has taken his place. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has resigned as chancellor of the exchequer. Ziord Salisbury's Successor. Perhaps never haa a change of pre miership been effected with so little dislocation of business, either public or private, as accompanied the transfer of the seals of office from Lord Salis bury to A. J. Balfour. The occurrence had no effect whatever on the stock ex change. The only other change in the cabinet thus far annunced is the chan cellorship of the exchequer, though others are foreshadowed. Mr. Balfour, In addressing the first meeting of his followers at the foreign office this afternoon informed them that he eould not count on the continued as sistance of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach but. he could count on the lattef's good wishes. The public showed little Interest in the party meeting which was summon ed for noon. The new premier, when he entered the conference room of the for eign office, accompanied by the Duke of Devonshire, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. Lord Londonderry and others, received quite an ovation. When Mr. Balfour rose to address the meeting all again stood up and cheered the new chief. Mr. Balfour referred to the loss of the services of the chief who for nearly fifty years had been engaged in active political life. No one, he said, would grudge him his well earned repose, though his loss was irreparable. "I do not flatter myself," proceeded tfie premier, "that the gap he has left can be filled. But the place he has left must be occupied and it Is because the king has desired me to do my best to take that position that I have asked you to meet me today. "I have accepted a great task and a heavy responsibility, certainly from no overweening belief in any own capacity but because I am sure or at least have every reason to believe that in attempt ing to carry on this work I will have the most Important qualification a lead er can have, namely, the regard and confidence of those with whom he works. I have not had the opportunity before of consulting you, but I have., of course, consulted those with whom I have been working 4n the cabinet these many years, and if the kindness you are prepared to extend to me is at all equal to the kindness they have extended to me, then indeed the terrors, or difficulties I ought perhaps to say, of the tasks before me are greatly miti gated. I cannot now promise myself that I shall have the continued assist ance of all my colleagues. One of the most Important of them with whom 1 have been associated all my political life and who has occupied and deserves to occupy the highest post in the house of commons and state, has told me that u 4'; "s-y jus Lord Salisbury, the W hi v r. J .V v. t I cannot count on his further assistance. I mean the chancellor of the exchequer. But, though I grieve to say I cannot count with any assurance on his fur-' ther assistance, I can count with abso lute confidence on his good wishes In the labors that are before us." At this juncture Sir Michael Hicks Beach, amid applause, signified his as sent by crying heartily, "Hear! Hear!"' "For myself," continued Mr. Balfour. "I have nothing to say. To all the members or at all events to the mem bers of the house of commons who are listening to me, I have no secrets and no surprises. You have known me so well and so long that even were I dis posed to dwell on this thing, there Is nothing I could say which could ot ought to alter the judgment already long ago foraied. But if I have nothing of a personal nature to say at the pres ent time, neither have I any pronounce ment to make. Changes there must be. consequent on the great change which we have met here to deplore. But this Is not the occasion on which to discuss them or even to think of them. As for the question of policy, I need hardly to tell you that the policy of the Unionist party remains now what it has always been. We have lost the services of a brilliant advocate of our cause. We have lost a man around whom the sen timents and emotions of the party have for many years crystallized. Neverthe less I feel we would do wrong to despair, do wrong to have the faintest misgiving in regard to the future of the cause he has so long and so well upheld. Ir we preserve the unity in the future which has never been wanting In our ranks in the past, the inherent vitalit of our cause will make up for any weakness in the arms which have to sustain it." After a warm tribute t,o Lord Salis bury by the Duke of Devonshire, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach rose and said there was no one he would more gladly or more readily have accepted as leader of the party than the man he had fol lowed as leader for more than seven years. But Lord Salisbury's rtirement was a break in the traditions of his past political life. Two years ago he had begged for personal and not for political reasons to be relieved from office; but he had consented at Lord Salisbury's instance to retain it to the end of the war. He now felt that the moment had come when such poor services as he could render could not longer be necessary to the country. There were younger men who would do the work at least as well as he had been able to do. He had therefore told Mr. Balfour that it was his strong desire to take the present opportunity of retiring from the office he so long had the honor to hold. He had explained to him the circum stances which he thought had necessi tated that view on his part. Mr. Bal four had been good enough to express a strong desire that he should continue to act with him as his colleague but had admitted that the circumstances mentioned required consideration. He could only say that If for the moment he retained the office of which his ten ure could not by any possibility be long, it would be because he desired to sbjow that he entertained as fully as any of them a spirit of loyalty to their new leader and a desire to give him, whether in or out of office, his best help in the administration of affairs. J. Austen Chamberlain, financial sec retary to the treasury, said his father wished him to say how greatly disap pointed he was at the fact that he could not be present to welcome Mr. Balfour to the leadership and say with what pleasure and pride he would give all the assistance In his power. Turning towards Mr. Balfour, the speaker continued: "My father bids me to say to you, Mr. Balfour, that you will find in him a colleague equally at tached to you by private friendship and public regard and that in offering you his support he feels he may speak also in the name of the whole Liberal Union ist party of the house of commons." After Mr. Chamberlain had delivered his message the conference dispersed. On entering the house of commons subsequently Mr. Balfour met with a great reception, not only from his own supporters, but from the members of the opposition. The resignation of Sir Michael Hicks Beach caused intense surprise. It was generally taken to be almost more im portant than Lord Salisbury's and was regarded in some quarters as being di rectly due to the more Important voice which Mr. Chamberlain will have in the new cabinet. John Redmond, leading member of the Irish party in the house of com mons, said to a representative of the Associated Press: "It will have a more immediate and material result than Lord Salisbury's retirement. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach was an excellent check on Chamberlain, who is now practically all powerful. "I do not regard the general political situation as being at all changed by Lord Salisbury's disappearance from active life." Several other changes are likely to occur, including the retirement of Earl Cadogan, the lord lieutenant of Ireland, and the elevation of George Wyndham, the chief secretary of Ireland, to a seat in the cabinet. Speculation is already rife as to who will be Sir Michael Hicks-Beach succes sor. The name of W. P. Hanbury, pres-t ident of the board of agriculture, is mentioned frequently.

BIGGEST EVER KISOWN. No Such Corner in (jrain Has Ever Been Seen Before. Leiter and Phillips Were Babies by Comparison. Chicago, July 14. Corn is worth more than wheat. For ten days it has main tained a price so high it sets all board of trade ideas topsy-turvy. In thirty years such a relation has only twice occurredt and neither time did it last longer than a few minutes. The situa tion is one of the wonders of the modern commercial world. And the reason for it is even more striking than the fact. For corn has been rushed to its high price by means of the manipulations of the strorigest and richest ring of speculators who ever joined hands to bull markets and drive bears to destruction. The corner in corn that is now draw ing to a close is beyond any comparison the biggest ever Known tor tne amount of money that is in it. It is a purely speculative deal, a straightaway battle between a set of men who have deliberately cornered the market, on one side, and on the other the elevator men and grain dealers who systematically hedge their holdings by selling short, with, in addition, a few speculators who picked the wrong side. If it results in failures the failures will be among such men, and the losses short of failures will have to be pocket ed by them. The actual prices of the grain as it is sold to the consumers wno use it will be comparatively little af fected. Never before, however, has such an immense wealth been owned by a single pool of grain speculators. Never be fore have operations been carried on with such complete security and con fidence. Compared with the present deal that of Joseph Leiter In wheat was retail trade. Compared with the finan ces of the present bull pool those of the deposed "corn king," Phillips, of last year were as pin money to bank ac counts. Twenty million bushels of corn nave been bought by the ring for delivery to it during the present month. And in the first ten days of the month only 4,000, 000 bushels of that amount has been turned over, although the shorts are straining every effort to get corn, corn, corn, and save themselves from ruin. Sixteen more business days remain in the month, and during that time 16,000,- 000 bushels of corn of contract grade must be brought to Chicago and deliv ered, or else the penalty must be paid. And in the last forty days the men of the pool have been relentlessly, per sistently forcing up the price of corn. They have sent it up 30 cents in forty days. They have made prices jump so that even hardened operators call it "a wicked deal." Here are the figures of the top prices touched on the swells of the movement. Date. Price per bushel. June 2 60 cents June 2& 72 cents July 1 78 cents July 8 90 cents July 12 (In between jumps)... 86 cents And what the price will be tomorrow and the next day and the next till the end of the month none but the manipu lators can even guess. It may be $1, it may be $1.50, on a pinch it may be more. Who knows? The shorts are indeed fighting desper ately. They are ransacking the west for corn. They are breathing impotent threats of court proceedings against the bulls, though they are unable to find any possible procedure that will really help. They have even started a peti tion calling upon the directors of the board of trade to fix a "marginal price" for corn, something that has not been done in 20 years, and the day after to morrow that petition will be presented to the board. All these things, however, only serve to- make plainer the strength of the bulls. A "marginal price" might make them put up many hundreds of thou sands of dollars of additional margins, but that would not hurt them, for they are so rich that they have the money. The extreme measure which would ruin a weak pool only serves as a trifling annoyance to these powerful masters of the corn pit. The bulls have indeed everything their own way. There is gold on their horns already, and the only remaining ques tion is whether they are to have blood there also. They are carniverous ani mals, the bulls of the board of trade, and if 'they are not content with skin ning the bears they will have the op portunity to pick their bones. It is cold comfort to the bears to know that not a single one of their number who has gone to the bulls thus far to effect a private settlement has been accommo dated. "If you want to settle go out on the floor and buy your corn where you sold it," is the answer they get to their appeals. There are open questions beyond this, and they concern the possibility of a further pool in September corn, -and not the conditions of the July deal. There are many people who want to know whether the pool will be long or short of September corn. Cudahy has been selling and Armour has been buying September by the millions of bushels, Are both of these Arms in league witn the pool in helping it by in and out trading, or is there to be a battle royal between Armour and the pool next month? This is the most- important of the questions of the future. The whole situation, with the cer tainty of tortured bears this month, and the possibility of unknown tortures be ing inflicted in future months, has been brought about by an invasion of the grain markets by some of the kings of the speculative financial world. A few of the professional grain men are in the pool, but they are in tne minority. Wall street money is behind the fight. John W. Gates and his allies, Lambert and Bllwood, Daniel G. Reid, the tin plate millionaire; Wm. B. Leeds, his old associate, now president of the Rock Island railroad; the two Moore brothers, who control that road, and many oth ers, and C. H. Spencer, the traction magnate of St. Louis, are among the men in the pool. So is former Gover nor Francis Drake of Iowa, the richest man in his state. With them as advis ers are also the Cudahys, who have had wide experience in grain dealing and John Dupee, who is one of the richest of the grain speculators of Chicago. But the center of the pool is in the steel men and their financial allies, and in deed of the 20,000.000 bushels they hold a good half is the property of Daniel G. Reid, the organizer and director of this greatest corn deal ever known. These men are together worth prob ably $130,000,000. Their own cash on band will enable them to pay for every bushel of grain they have bought. They are financially impregnable. And every one of them is a western man by origin, however much of a New Yorker he calls himself today. These men have fought their specula tive contest in a way hitherto unknown on- the board. They have been utterly careless about showing their hands. They have not cared who thought there was a corner, nor how big the corner seemed to be. Instead of keeping all signs c of their commanding position hidden till the end of the month,..' when settling day comes, they have sent prices scurrying upwards by f great jumps, four, five and six weeks in ad vance. They have rejoiced to let the unfortunate shorts feel that their heads were in the lion's mouth long before the fatal moment when the jaws were snap shut. HAD A BUSY YEAR, Report of Chief Examiner of Civil Service Commission. Washington, July 14. The report of Chief Examiner A. R. Servern, of the civil service commission for the year 1901 has just been made public. The following extract gives an idea of the extent of this branch of the work done by the commission: In this period 48.699 competitors were examined. Of these 21,028 were for the departmental branch of the service of whom 15,79 passed and 5,249 failed; 3,- 433 were for the custom house of whom 2,856 passed and 577 failed; 449 were for the internal revenue offices, of whom 252 passed and 197 failed; 1,709 were for the force of the public printer of whom 1, 654 passed and 155 failed; and 20,901 were for appointment in the different classified postoffices, of whom 12,749 passed and 8,152 failed. There were 252 persons already in the classified service who were examined for transfer of whom 173 passed and 79 failed. There were 321 persons examin ed for promotion of whom 158 passed and 163 failed, making a total of 48,093 persons examined for the classified ser vice, of whom 33,521 passed and 14,572 failed. During this period 166 persons were examined for the District of Col umbia service, of whom 49 passed and 117 failed; and 439 were examined for service under the Philippine commis sion, of whom 169 passed and 270 failed. This is an increase of more than 4 per cent over the total number examined in the previous year, which was 46,602. Mr. Servern urges an increase of the facilities for the commission and says: 'During the past five or six years the number of appointments taking exami nation has increased from about 4,000 to more than 10,000 per annum,' and the number of classified positions from a little over 30,000 to about 100,000 and yet no additional employes have been pro vided by congress to assist in meeting the demands upon the chief examiner's office, occasioned by this enormous in crease in the classified service." TOPEKA PLAYERS WON. Westmoreland Ball Team Lost on Errors.' The Topeka Business college base ball team managed to win a game from the team from Westmoreland Saturday afternoon on the Washburn grounds by pulling the victory out of the fire after the visitors had virtually won it. The game was one of errors at criti cal times. The Westmoreland team started off with a rush and sent two men over the plate in the first inning on weak drives -at the ball and -errors. A young man by the name of Bush es sayed to play third for the T. B. C. team. He was clad in a pink shirt, ice cream trousers and a very negligee belt. He remained in long -enough to make as many errors as he had chances and to strike out. Then Boyd, who was clad in picnic costume of long gray trousers, went into the game with a pocket full of money which rattled like the capital of a faro dealer after harvest. The To peka team did not do anything until the sixth inning when by errors and hits they sent two men over the last corner. The game was well played except now and then when the errors were piled up. The Topeka team was favored b luck. Thompson struck out more men than McCampbell and the visitors made the most hits, but then lost. The score was as follows: R. H. E. T. B.

The steamer Portland, news of whose safety has just been received, sailed for Nome from Se attle April 26 with 1.000 tons of freight, including miners' supplies, liquors and vegetables. Six hundred tons were put aboard at San Francisco. Of her 110 passengers, 46 were booked in San Fran cisco, the remainder in Seattle. The vessel was commanded by Captain Charles Lindquist, a veteran Bering sea mariner. The steamship was caught by immense ice floes in Bering strait June 3 and when last seen was drifting northward into the Arctic sea The United States revenue cutter Thetis started in pursuit, but no trace of the ship was found and it was believed she had been crushed in the icepack and all on board lost. The revenue cutter Man ning, now at San Francisco, is under orders to sail for northern waters and aid the Thetis in searching for the Port land and also the missing steamer Jeanle, and was to sail on Wednesday or Thursday next. MOHICAN IS SAFE. Turned Up at Dutch Harbor Out of Fuel and Food. Seattle, Wn.,July 14 The United States trainingship Mohican is safe. Sno ar rived at Dutch Harbor in distress June 28 after being out from Yokohama 33 days. When she arrived at Dutch Har bor she was out of fuel and the fooi supply was running low. Three days more and it would have become a ser ious question of finding sufficient to eat for the young sailors on board. The fact that she carried a full complement of sails probably saved her. The Mohican left Yokohama, bound for Honolulu direct, but encountered head winds that drove her off her course. She was finally driven into the great circle and brought up at Dutcn Harbor. Had the captain attempted to sail her into Honolulu it is not believ?d his supply of food would have held out. After replenishing her supply of food and fuel at Dutch Harbor the Mohican sailed on June 30 for Honolulu, her or iginal destination. vv Beloit and Return $4.57 via the Union Facific."

(Continued from First Page.) morning trains will be running over the line. i MANY SUNDAY WATCHERS, f City park and the Kansas avenue bridge were crowded with people all day Sunday, who watched the rising water for hours. Many were the specu ltions and opinions offered, and the theory that the drift wood ran to the banks while the water was rising was thoroughly discussed pro and eon. Doz ens of cameras were in Deration, and the river is well photographed from the Rock Island bridge to the Santa Fe. An Occasional diversion in the Shane of a bold bather would hold the attention of the crowd. One brilliant youth jumped off the Rock Island bridge, seized a piece of drift wood, and proceeded to shoot the chutes. An irate paternal an cestor saw the youth as he came down stream, yelling with pure joy and wav ing his hand at the admiring populace. "He is going to land at Wolff's Packing house," remarked a bystander. "Yes," said the parent, as he collected a large club, "and I shall make it a point to beat him to the landing." The sequel to the story- was not visible to the watchers on the bridge. In the city park where the water had invaded the lower cinder driveway and few of the flower beds the erass af ound the water edge is beaten down as by a herd of cattle. The big Wear Coal com pany's sign in the middle of the river opposite the sand dump, stood the wear and tear for quite awhile, but gave way and twisted around at the south end. A portion of the lower ede-e of the sie-n which made a good water mark was torn away and floated down the stream. The machinery in the sand dipper en gine house was completely covered. ARCHBISHOP DEAD. Patrick A. Feehan of Chicaeo Diocese Dies of Apoplexy. Chicago, July 14. Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan died Saturday afternoon at the arcbiepiscopal residence 623 North State street..-Death ensued from an attack of apoplexy. suDerinduced bv thp infirmities of an advanced age and the ill effects of a secofta attactc ot pneumonia, which vis ited the prelate last March. While not unexpected, the archbishop's demise came suaaeniy ana as a great shock to the clerery and laitv of the archdiocese and the many friends and admirers of the de cedent. Soon after three o'clock in the afternoon the archbishoD succumbed tn a faintine spell. His attendants brought him every possible relief, and Father Francis J. Bar ry, chancellor of the archdiocese, was summoned. Shortly thereafter the patient began to sink, and grew gradually weak er until about 3:30 o'clock when death came. "Last Friday and Saturday during the warm weather the archbishop was se riously affected by the heat," said Dr. T. J. Conley, physician to the archbishop. "He seemed to recover from these attacks, but Saturday was affected again and died of congestion of the brain, or its equiva lent, apoplexy. Death came somewhat sudderJy." The Jad news was immediately cabled to the pope at Rome, and the clergy of the archdiocese notified of the passing of the archbishop. Priests and diocesan officers nocked to the arcnlepiscopai residence and the parish-house of the Holy Name Cathedral. There the majority met after visiting the late residence of the archbish op. Sunday every mass said in the archdio cese was for the archbishop. All the churches were draped with black, exterior as well as interior. The altars were spread wltn the badge of mourning and requiem high mass will be said in every church until the dav of the last rites for the dead. The ceremony will probably be set for Thursday or r riaay In order to afford ample opportunity for high church dignitaries in all parts of the country and Canada to attend the services. A. 0. H. CONVENTION. Union With the Order in Ireland Is Confidentially Expected. Denver, Col., July 14. The work of the forty-second biennial convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians began this morning with a meeting of the na tional executive committee and board of directors. These officers will discuss measures to be presented to the conven tion and their recommendations will be embodied in the annual report of Pres ident John T. Keating. The order has a membership of 400.000 and about 500 del egates are expected to attend the ses sions of the convention which will open tomorrow. The national officers of the order stoutly deny that politics will be injected into the deliberations of the convention. "The convention," said President Keating, "will occupy itself with the extension of the order, and will take ac tion on the death of Archbishop Feeham of Chicago, the national chaplain of the order. His death is the more deeply regretted as he was carrying on an im portant work in organizing the ranks of the order in the old country. "We expect that the organization in Ireland and that in the United States will be united in the next six or eight months. The work looking towards this greatly to be desired result, is progress ing satisfactorily through the clergy. Wo have grown rapidly in the past two years and much of the credit belongs to James P. Bree, national secretary. "Our dominant principles are friend ship, unity and Christian charity. "As to the charges that the organi zation has been influenced by the Clan-Na-Gael or any other body, I will say that the administration for the last four years has been as conservative as any I can remember in my whole long connection with the order." An anonymous circular is in circula tion among delegates calling upon good Hibernians to oppose any resolution which may be offered to the convention endorsing the Clan-Na-Gael. President Keating has announced that he is not a candidate for reelection. National Vice President James E. Dolan of Syracuse, N. Y., and John A. Ryan of Boston, are mentioned as candidates for the presi dency. Buffalo, Indianapolis, Milwau kee, Cincinnati and San Francisco are bidding for the next convention two years hence. TRACY SURROUNDED. Three Sheriffs and Their Dep uties After the Outlaw. Ravensdale, Wash., July 14. Sheriff Hartman of Pierce county announces that he believes his deputies and those of Cudihee's posse, which is now con centrated in the vicinity of Enumen claw, have completely encircled the ter ritory in which Tracy is hiding. The combined forces of three sheriffs can now be brought into requisition if nec essary, upon short notice. The com bined efforts of all the forces is being directed deliberately, yet with dispatch. Herriam Permanently Installed. Washington, July 14. The president has issued a commission to Director Merriam under the new permanent cen sus law, as director of the census. TODAI'S MARKET REPORT. I Chicago, July 14. WHEAT-Early trade In grain today was dull. September wheat opened a shade lower to Uc higher, at 73S731tic, on reports of showers Is sev eral of the western states. Offerings, how ever, were liberal. Liverpool cables were a trifle lower in response to our Saturday dipJJnd pr,i,s easea oft- September sold at 7314c, and later steadied near 73c. Lo calr eceipts were 93 cars. 6 cars of contract grade and 83 cars ot new stuff. Minneap olis and Duluth reported -534 cars, making a total for the three points of 627 cars, against 1,056 cars last week and 644 cars a year ago. The world's shipments were 7, 701,000 bushels, against 6.263.000 bushels last week, and 7.062,000 bushels a vear ago. Breadstufts on passage decreased 2.288.000 bushels. The Paris exchange was closed because of a holiday. CORN There was a fair show of weak ness in corn at the opening. All holders of cash stuff were rushing to the mar ket and as a result 472 cars were received, of which 119 were contract grade. Private elevators turned out 207 cars and 118.000 bushels. The total contract stuff for the day promised 650.000 bushels. In July there was almost no early trading. That option opened c down, at S5c, but on one trade reacted to 85c September corn opened a shade to V-Sc lower, at (ji61c, sold off to SLH&Glfec, and steadied near 614'si 6154c. Estimates of 845 cars -of corn to arrive tomorrow and talk that theer might be 1. 000 cars started liberal selling of both July and September options. July corn became very weak and dropped 5c, to 80Vic. September felt the pressure and closed weak and f&c down, at 61c. The principal influence of the dav was the rapidity with which contract corn was be ing made and rushed to market. Some traders said the corner in July was broken. That option rallied lc from its low price, but closed very weak and 5c lower, at Sic. OATS Oats made a further recession at the opening on reports that the warm.clear weather of the last few aays had helped the new crop much and that large quanti ties of the new grade were being offered by the farmers, particularly in Illinois. Offerings of future deliveries were free, some of which were in the wav or profit taking. New September opened a shade to Hc down, at 33&33c, and sold at 33c. Receipts 87 cars, with nothing of new. PROVISIONS In spite of liberal hog re ceipts and weaker prices at the yards pro visions held up well, especially lard. The bullish sentiment inherent of late in this product helped the rest of the list. Sep tember pork opened unchanged, at $18.70, and advanced 214c. July lard opened 5'd lOo up, at $11.40i&l.45, and September ribs 5c lower, at $10.80, but rallied to $10.8214;i) 10.85.

The following is contained in a Wash ington dispatch: Eugene F. Ware, commissioner of pen sions, who has reorganized the force of employes at the pension bureau and has Inaugurated that which he considered necessary in the way of reforms, is now preparing to leave the city for a vaca tion. He said today he had not made up his mind where he would spend his vacation, and that he supposed he would wind up his deliberations on the sub ject by going to Topeka and enjoying himself with several days rest at dome. Air. Ware stated that in the three months he had held the office of com missioner he had not had a quarrel with anyone. Senators and representatives, he said, had not found any special fault with his methods, and applicants for pensions also seemed to be satisfied with the way he disposed of applications. "When I became commissioner," said Mr. Ware, "an impression seemed to prevail that there would be a wide swath cut right through the laws, the national treasury and everything else. There "has been nothing of the kind. When I took charge I called in all the heads of divisions and told them very plainly that my policy would be to ob Berve the law. I said that if the acts of congress allowed a man a pension I wanted him to get it. If he could not meet the requirements of the law a pension ought not to be granted. I think that statement surprised them some what, but I meant it, and I have stuck to it. Cold evidence and cold law, I said to them, must prevail in the granting of pensions. "More than this, when I went out to Kansas and they put me in a carriage and took me down to address a mass meeting of old soldiers, I said the same thing. No sympathy and no sentiment, I said, but only the law. To my sur prise, they applauded me. I thought they must have misunderstood me, and I repeated it more plainly. They ap plauded me again. I asked 'Joe' Wa ters about it. 'Joe' Waters is a western genius and a great orator among the old soldiers. He told me that the boys felt that they had been given the bene fit of the law, and all they wanted was fair treatment. Here's a letter from Ihim on my desk right now, and he re peats what he said, that the old soldiers want nothing more than the law grants them. I reject pension applications ev ery day. I don't like to do it, but I have to, because the law is not com plied with. Only, when I do reject a Iension it will be an honest rejection." The commissioner stated that he had established a civil service system at the pension bureau that was working satis factorily. He said: "In the beginning I found that pressure from all direc tions was brought to bear on the com missioner of pensions to appoint men to positions in the bureau who had had no experience. I had two $1,800 posi tions to fill, and I hoped to postpone the (selection of men for thpse places until I had fully familiarized myself with the office conditions. But I found I had to make the appointments and make them Boon. I think there were 400 men pre sented to me with the strongest indorse ments for those two places. v "Well, nearly all of the applicants were well fitted for the work, but as I looked about the office I saw a good many otner men wno had worked Here for years who had developed the most vaiuaDie Knowledge and experience mere many or tnem old soldiers and maae up my mina tnat it anyone was made an $1,800 clerk it should be the man who had proven his ability and his steadiness right here under fire, so to speak. I'll appoint outsiders as places for them may be created, but they will nave 10 go in at tne bottom of the lad' der." for raising the necessary money. One is to give a grand joint concert- at the Auditorium in which all the bands in Topeka will participate. Some suggest that the concert be made a contest be tween the various bands, arranged on the handicap plan. It would be arrang ed by having a committee of local mu sicians decide a secret basis of handicap for each band, giving the weaker bands the advantage of a liberal number of points. Some bandmaster from outside of Topeka would then be called in to act as judge, and his markings would be subject to the secret handicap. WHAT THE CITS COLLECTS. FREE BAND CONCERTS.

Several schemes have been, proposed Among the members of the local Elks' club who will go to Emporia tomorrow to play ball with a team from the Em poria club, decorate the sub bench or "root" are Mr. Adrian Sherman, Dr. H.

Miss Elizabeth Ryan and Mr. Harry De Coursey, The marriage will be solemnized Thursday morning, July 17 at half after 8 o'clock at the Ca thedral of the Immaculate Conception, Leavenworth. At home after August 15, 227 Osage street, Leavenworth. Miss Ryan is well known in Topeka where she has frequently visited. She is a niece of Mrs. Mary O'Brien, 319 Topeka avenue and a cousin of Mrs. William Connors, 622 Tenth avenue west. Miss Mamie Knox will entertain her young women friends Wednesday after noon at Belvoir, the residence of her grandmother, Mrs. John D. Knox. war We Revenues Outside of Direct Taxes Amount to $27,000 Per Annum. Aside from taxes, the city of Topeka has an annual income, available for current expenses of about $27,000 a year. This is quite a neat sum, but the city uses It all up, and needs more every year. The city officials are now try ing to devise some way to increase the revenues and decrease the expenses. If they can do that, the financial troubles of Topeka will be ended. At the request of Mayor Parker and the ways and means committee. City Treasurer M. M. Hale has completed some interesting tabulations showing that the average monthly revenue of the city of Topeka, exclusive of the tax es .received from the county treasurer, is $2,261.77. This represents the receipts of the general improvement and general revenue funds, which'are available for current expenses. The total amount received for the six months ending June 30, as shown In the report, is $13,510.63. The largest income was from the police court fines, which netted $7,520.75. Next came the insur ance companies which paid in licenses the sum of $1,735. The food inspector collected $1,254.25 from the meat com panies which ship meat into the city. Dog tax receipts nave amounted to $1,178. Some of the receipts have not been up to what is considered the proper mark. Auctioneers have paid only $36.25 In licenses; pawn shops have paid only $30 and hucksters have put up only $43.15. The belief is that these sums ought to be considerably more. The items on Mr. Hale s report are as follows Hucksters 43.15 Rent of auditorium 411.56 Auctioneers 36.25 Billiard tables 70.12 Dog tax 1,178.00 City dump 31.

A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used, Many people are brought up to be lieve that coffee is a necessity of life, and the strong hold that the drug has on the system makes it hard to loosen its grip even when one realizes its in jurious effects. A lady in Baraboo, writes: "I had used coffee for years; it seemed one of the necessities of life. A few months ago, my health, which had been slowly failing, became more impaired, and knew that unless relief came from some source, I would sopn be a physical wreck. I was weak and nervous, had such sick headaches, no ambition, and felt tired of life. My husband was also losing his health. He was troubled so much with indigestion that at times h could not eat only a few mouthfuls of ary bread. We concluded that coffee was slowly poigoning us and stopped it and used not water. we felt somewhat better, but it wasn't satisfactory. Finally, we saw t-ostum jotree advertised, and Dougnt a package. 1 followed direc tions for making carefully, allowing- it to boil twenty minutes after it came to tne boning point, and added cream, which turned it to the loveliest rich looKine ana tasting drink I ever saw served at any table, and we have usArt Postum ever since. I gained five pounds in weight in as many weeks, and now reel wen ana strong in every respect. My. headaches have gone, and I am a new woman. My husband's indigestion has left him, and he can now eat any thing." Name given by Postum Co I Battle Creek, Xfinh.

HANGS ON TO DIGNITY. That and Money Is All Colombia Wants Oat of Canal Situation. Rev. Francis L. Hayes Talks of Their Work. In his discourse upon "Expansion" at the First Congregationarchurch Sunday morning, Rev. Francis L. Hayes placed a strong emphasis on the cause of for eign missions. "The expansion of the future," said he, "will be more than national; not only that but it will be that of Christ ian civilization of the Gospel; The way in which our western civilisation' receiv ed its start was by missionaries who brought us the Gospel. Christ is the founder of civilisation; and when Paul and his followers began going out and out the result was that a large part of the world felt their labors.'", He answered in detail the robjections commonly offered to- -the foreign mis sionary cause, urging that the people of Christian lands support them more loy ally.

President Marro quin, of this republic, last month decid ed to ascertain the opinion of the isth mian residents regarding the canal question, being most vitally interested in having the business satisfactorily settled, says a Herald dispatch from Panama, Colombia. He instructed Gov ernor Salazar of this department to ap point five prominent citizens here to study the matter carefully. The committee rendered a report which was almost unanimous except on some trifling points. This report is probably already in the hands of Presi dent Marroquin, having been forwarded to Bogota some time ago.- So far as it is possible to ascertain, the salient points of the anwers in sub stance are: The gentlemen of this committee not only consider it convenient but em phatically declare that it is urgent to authorize without unnecessary delay the new Panama Canal company to transfer to the United States the con cession it holds to build the interoceanic canal through Colombian territory. They suggest prompt government ac tion with prudent tact, but advise ac celerating the pending negotiation in order to bring to fruition the Unites States' preference for the prompt con struction of the canal over the Panama route. Colombia would act in a suicidal manner if. by unpardonable neglect or want of diplomatic ability on the part of her representatives, she should im pose on the United States government tne alternative or cnoosing the rival or pJioaraguan route. The practical or successful solution or the most important problem of the cen tury, the report continues, has now be come an indispensable necessity. Un necessary delays and uncalled for senti ment should not compromise Colombia's future or the prosperity of the Isthmus of Panama, which would become tin commercial route of the world. The members of the committee believe Colombia should gratuitously permit the canal company to transfer to the Unied States its concession, bearing in mind not only the tremendous losses the original French shareholders already have sustained and the mllions of franc-3 paid by the company to the Bogota government at different times, but also the indisputable fact that the United States engineers have been influenced in their selection of the Panama route over all others principally on account of the amount of practical work already done on both sides of the isthmus, es pecially the Culebra cut. In the committee's opinion a very liberal and reasonable concession should be granted to the United States, pro vided the sovereignty and dignity of the republic of Colombia is maintained and effectually guaranteed. Death of Sir Joseph Little. Si. Johns, N. F., July 14. Sir Joseph Ignatius Little, chief justice and dep uty governor of Newfoundland, died to day at the age of 67. Owing to the re cent resignation of Justice Donald Mor rison, which vacancy has not-yet been filled, S,ir Joseph Little's death leaves Justice George Henry Emerson the only surviving member of the supreme court bench. The situation is unique and calls for the early filling of the vacan cies, two judges being necessary to constitute the court. Attorney General W. H. Horwood, ex-Premier Sir James Winter and former Attorney General and Premier Sir Williams Whiteway.are mentioned in connection with the vacan cies. THE WALLACE SHOW. What the Advance Han Says of Its Success. The first big circus of the season to visit Topeka will be the Wallace show on Wednesday, July 23. The advance man says: The show is such a mammoth aggregation that it is compelled to visit points of the coun try where it is sure of liberal patron age. This fact requires it to travel from 20,000 to 30,000 miles annually, visiting only the big cities and the larger towns which are surrounded by productive territory. But whether it be in an east ern city or in the prosperous town on a western prairie, the Wallace show is fully capable of pleasing the crowds in either place. Even in Washington City, D. C, the home of the official dignitar ies and political aristocrats of the na tion, a place where some people might think a circus would not attract, the great Wallace show was unable to ac commodate the crowds. The Washing ton Post said: "If there is any city which is a better show town than the national capital, it is not down on the map. The Wallace show pleased two big throngs yester day, many people, being turned away. The circus was a success, both for the management and for those who wanted good entertainment. The city was turn ed over almost entirely to the big at traction. The programme commenced promptly and in earnest from the start. No one but the child whose first visit it was to a circus could possibly tell all that was done. Hardly anything could have been more wonderful than their acrobatic features." An Appreciation. Rear Admiral Evans in the" May is sue of McClure's magazine says: "For comfort and luxury, the special train on which we traveled made a lasting impression upon the prince and his suite. Prince Henry said: 'I have seen the best equipment on Russian rail roads, and they are the best in Europe; but I have never seen or imagined that a train like thi3 could be put together." Coming from such an authoritative source this is indeed a compliment, es pecially so as two of the cars, the Ohio and Iowa, belong to the regular equip ment of the Chicago Great Western railway. These beautiful compartment sleeping cars run every night between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis on the Great Western- Limited, the new sumptuous electric lighted train.

Dr. Ryno's Queer Actions Prior: to the Holmes Shooting. Galva, Kan., July 14. Queer stories are floating around regarding Dr. Ryno, who is accused of knowledge of the shooting of Miss Maude Holmes. Arthur Ryno and family live north east of Canton and are very retiring people. They never visit anyone and no one ever visits them. Mr. Ryno has always had the reputation of being ex tremely queer. The rumor is out and is vouched for by his own relatives that for the past three months Mr. Ryno has slept out in the barn and has kept a shotgun with him all the time. It is also stated that in the past year he has forbidden his family to get his mall at any time, and has always received it himself. Arthur Ryno came to the home tf W. W .Holmes several months ago un der the name of George R. Clarke. It was along in the evening and he even ing and be wanted Miss Maude Holmes to go out driving with him. Miss Holmes spoke up and said that she was not in the habit of going buggy riding or keeping company with strangers, and she wanted him to go away and mind his own business. Ryno tried many ways to get her to go with him, but she declined them all. A few weeks before the shooting the dog of Holmes was poisoned and It is almost proven that Ryno was the man who pc-isoned it. The druggist says about that time Ryno -.bought poison of him and signed up for it. They also found some meat with poison on that the dog had not eaten, and it proved to be the same kind of poison that Ryno had purchased. The theory is that Ryno had fallen in love with Miss Holmes some time ago and had since tormented her with let ters and visits. But seeing that sha would have nothing to do with him and being jealous of Charles Sadie he wished to take out his revenge in this way. The Holmes family say that Charles Sadie had nothing to do with the shoot ing scrape. However, Mr. Sadie was keeping company with Miss Holmes at the time and is a constant waiter and helper at the bedside of Miss Holmes at the present time. He is doing all in his power to save her life, and is more than anxious to have the guilty man punish ed. Miss Nellie Holmes, who swore out the warrant for Ryno, says that she is positive that he is the guilty- man and that Charles Sadie had nothing what ever to do with the shooting.
