Mason, secretary of the Democratic state com mittee, said today: "There is nothing new to add to our position. "IV e neither concede nor claim anything. We are receiving the official returns gradually. Until we know some thing of the official figures we cannot say h. word. "There are circumstances connected with the election that we are now look ing into, that may not be there when we have the full returns." "What are the circumstances?" Mr. Mason was asked. "Well, the matter of defective ballots and protests, and some others I'm not ready to mention. 'If the official returns justified our Busoiclons," said Mr. Mason, "we would go before the county canvassers In counties up the state when they meet on Tuesday next. The next step would bw to appeal to the state board of canvass ers if we considered that Justice ws not being done us, and after that wj would go to the courts. Of course, I jci not saying that we will have to do this. That is only the modus operandi if we are justified in making a contest." Democratic headquarters claimed to day that tl.e election of Cunneen, Dem ocrat, for attorney general, was assured. Chairman Dunn, of the Republican state committee, said today that he was paying no attention to the charges of the Democrats. He said that there was no doubt of Odell's victory by a plu rality of 12.50S. PENROSE IS CONFIDENT. Philadelphia, Nov. 6.

On Joint ballot 12S votes are required to elect a United States senator, and Boise Penrose claims to have elected more than enough members pledged to him to insure his re-election to the 1 n ate in January next. NEW MEXICO IS REPUBLICAN. Santa Fe, N. M Nov. 6. Bernard S. Rodney, Republican, is delegate to con gress by 5,400 majority over H. B. Fer guson, Democrat. ALL FUSIONISTS BUT ONE. Reno. Nev., Nov. 6. The entire fusion state ticket has been elected with the exception of Bray, superintendent of schools, who was defeated by Ring. Sparks' majority for governor will be fully 1.700. Van Duzer for congress car ried the state bv 1,000. HANNA DECLINES TO TALK. Cleveland, O., Nov. 6. Senator Hanna, chairman of the national Republican committee, when asked for a statement on the election returns said: "The re turns thus far are gratifying, but I do ffbt care to discuss the general result any further until more definite informa tion in some of the states is available." PLATT'S EXPLANATION. New York, Nov. 6. Senator Thoma3 C. Piatt was asked for a statement on the state election. He said: "We have to be satisfied. Odell's plurality is not nearly as large as I expected." Senator Piatt said that in his opinion the trust nuestion and the coal strike had noth ing to do with the result of the vote. "The Democrats got together," he said, "and held together, and a few Republi cans slipped over to them AS HEITFELD SEES IT. Lewiston, Me., Nov. 6 United States Senator Heitfeld in an interview today eaid: "The apparently Democratic gains in the east are due to the virtual panic now in progress there. There is no prosperity for the masses in the east. Republican gains are due to abundant crops at good prices, the charter rates for ships alone giving the farmers 15 per cent per bushel more than two years ago." ABOUT THIRTY MAJORITY. Chicago, Nov. 6. Dispatches to the Associated Press show that the Repub licans have elected 207 members of "con gress and the Democrats 178, with one California district In doubt. CLOSE IN 29TH PENNSYLVANIA. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 6. Complete, but unofficial, returns give Shiras, fusion Republican, for congress Twenty-ninth district. 25 majority over Graham, Re publican. NO MORE DOUBT IN NEBRASKA. Omaha. Neb., Nov. 6. Returns from the Third and Fifth congressional dis tricts today with but few precincts missing, indicate that the Republicans have elected their men in both districts. In the Fifth Norris has about 20 plur ality with six precincts missing, and in the Third McCarthy, Republican, de feats Kobinson, fusion by 150 to 200. ODELL'S PLURALITY. Official Returns Place It at 12,887 York, Nov. 6. Official figures on the vote for governor vary but little from the unofficial reports. According to re turns made to the executive at Albany by i the several county clerks the plurality -or iOdell (Rep.) is 12.8S7. Only three roun I ties above the Bronx were carried by the Democratic nominee, the aggregate piurai ltv for Col-r in those counties being 1.011 This and the Greater New York plurality of 123.074, given to Coler, was met ar.i! overcome by an upstate Republican plu rality of 135.972. the difference being a net plurality erf 12.887, against 111,126 plural.ty tnr Odell in 1900. ReturnB of the vote for other officers mxe so meager that it is impossible to say if the Democrats have been more success ful as regards the minor offices than in the case of the governor. In some quarters it is asserted that by reason of his endorse ment by the prohibitionists Cunney, the Democratic nominee for attorney general, has made such gains over the head of tne ticket that he has been elected. There are also claims that when the returns ior judge of the court of appeals are all in it will be found that Judge Gray has de feated his Republican opponent. The state legislature is controlled by the Republicans by a reduced majority, but one so large as to admit of no doubt of the return of Mr. Piatt to the United States senate The New York delegation in the lower house of the Fifty-eighth congress will number 37, instead of 34. as In the present congress. It will contain 20 Republicans and 17 Democrats, whereas the present delegation stood 22 Republicans and 12 Democrats. All of the more noted members of the delegation have been returned, including Sertno E. Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee. 206 SURE. Secretary Overstreet's Summary of the Congressional Election. New York, Nov. 6. Congressman Overatreet, secretary of the Re publican congressional committee, announced today that 206 Republican members had been elected; that the Democrats had elected 170, and that there were 10 districts where, on account of incomplete returns, the result was doubtful. These 10 districts are: First Califor nia, Twenty-fourth Illinois, Fifth Min nesota, Eighth and Eleventh North Carolina, Seventh Alabama, in Nevada Ninth Virginia and Thirteenth and Six teenth Missouri. The first five named are now represented in congress by Re publicans and the last five by Demo crats. The Republican candidates itt both the doubtful North Carolina dis tricts. Mr. Overstreet said, had wired to day that they were elected, also the Re publican nominee in the Twenty-fourth Illinois. This left seven districts alto gether in doubt. With 206 members in congress the Re publicans would have a majority of 26. The congressional committee's head quarters in this city will be closed to night. PARDEE WINS. Republicans Lose Three Congres sional Districts in California, San Francisco. Cal., Nov. 6. The latest election returns indicate the suc cess of Dr. Pardee, the Republican can didate for governor by a plurality of about 3,500. His opponent, F. K. Lane, has stated that he will contest the an nounced result. The count of the vote for congression al nominees, so far as completed, indi cates that five Republicans, two labor union Democrats and one straight Dem ocrat will represent California in the lower house of congress. The success ful Republicans are: Gillette In the First. Metcalf in the Third, Needham in the Sixth, McLachlan in the Seventh and Daniels in the Eighth. Livernash and Wynn. the labor union nominees, have won in the Fourth and Fifth, but the former's election probably will be contested by Julius Kahn, the present incumbent. In the Second, Bell, Demo crat, leads Coombs by several hundred votes. The Republicans elected thirteen state senators according to the returns so far received. The Democrats have return ed five and there is one Democrat and union labor nominee elected. Charles M. Sbortridge is elected as an independ ent Republican from a Santa Clara dis trict. With nineteen bold over senators and Shortridge. the Republicans have thirty-three out of forty members of the senate. Writh fifty-eight Republi cans in the assembly the party will have on joint ballot for the election of a United States senator ninety-one mem bers out of a total of 120. DEMOCRATS LOSE COLORADO. Indications That the Party Has Not Saved a Thing "for Sure." Denver. Col., Nov. 6. Nearly complete returns show that the Republicans have elected their entire state ticket with the possible exception of superintendent of, schools and two of the three congress men and that the Democrats will have a majority of 16 to 18 on joint ballot in the legislature unless the Republicans obtain control of the lower house and unseat the entire Arapahoe county dele gation. The Republican leaders frankly announce that they will carry out that programme if it be in their power. In such an event the senate, consisting of 25 Democrats and 10 Republicans, will probably refuse to organize the legisla ture with the house and thus will block the election of a successor to United States Senator Teller. On the face of the returns the house membership appears to be 33 Democrats and 32 Republicans, but the Republicans claim that the official count will re verse these figures. The plurality for Peabody, Republican candidate for gov ernor, over Stimson, Democrat, is about 6,000. Franklin E. Brooks, Republican candidate for congressmen at large, defeated Alva Adams, Democrat, by about 1,000; Congressmen John T. Shafroth, Democrat, has a plu rality of about 2,500 in the First district, and Congressman John C. Bell was be.iten in the Second district by Herschel M. Hogg, Republican, whose plurality is figured at 3,300. Robert W. Bonynge, Republican candidate for con gress in the First district, has announced that he will contest Shafroth's election on the ground of alleged registration frauds and repeating in Denver. The Republican leaders are taking steps to bring to light the frauds which they allege were perpe trated by the Democrats in this city, and will demand an investigation by a special grand jury. NO CHANCE FOR WOLCOTT. Denver. Nov. 6. The Republican lead ers claim today that, including the Arapahoe members, there will be 36 Re publicans and 29 Democrats in the house and 22 Democrats and 13 Republicans ir the senate. These figures give the Dem ocrats two majority cn joint ballot, and with tlelr large majority in the senate they claim they can frustrate any at tempt to accomplish the election of a Republican as United States senator by unseating Democrats-elect of the houses DEMOCRATS GAIN TWO. Election of Congressmen in Maryland Helps Them. Baltimore, Nov. 6. Complete returns. from city and state show that Mary land's rerresentation in the next house will be four Republicans and two Demo crats a gain of two seats for the Demo crats. Except in the two city districts the Third and Fourth the candidates were elected by comfortable pluralities. Wachter (Rep.) has 159 plurality, with one precinct in dispute, which when counted it is thought will swell his plu rality over Meyer (Dem.) to 200. Deeny (Dem.) in the Fourth has 39o plurality over Scfcirm (Rep.) The vote for the Prohibitionist candi dates in each district was small. The only Socialist candidate, Marek, in the Third district, received 4S4 votes out of the 31,000 cast. (Continued on Page 7.) THREE ARE CLOSE. How the Senatorial Situation Appears on Surface. Curtis Is Supposed to Lead With 26 Votes. LONG COMES NEXT. He Has Three Votes Less It Is Believed. Stanley Appears to Have Less Than the Others. The politicians are already whispering about the senatorial situation and there was quite a crowd around Copeland county last night whispering and mak ing figures. Those who are talking are saying that Governor Stanley really came out the best in the legislative fight not that he is credited with having the most members, but he lost less than the others and made gains in unexpect ed places. Congressman Curtis lost two in Leav enworth and one in Atchison, but this was expected. His loss of one in Mor ris, one in Dickinson and. two or three others was not expected. Sharpless in Atchison and Brown in Brown, both Curtis men, have been elected. They were in doubt yesterday. Congressman Long came out about the same as Curtis. He lost Remington in Miami, but this was expected. He also lost in Barber and three or four other Seventh district counties where it was expected he would elect a member of the legislature. Stanley lost Harris in Lyon, but this was not unexpected because of the local fight there between the Curtis and anti Curtis crowds. He met with no unex pected losses unless it was in Logan county. The Republican candidate was defeated there and it is said he was favorable to Stanley, although this is not definite. This defeat was not ex pected by the Republicans because the fusionists did not even have a candidate for the legislature in Logan county two years ago. On the other hand several of Stanley's friends were unexpectedly elected. In his home county. Sedgwick, he expected only two Republican members of the legislature, and heretofore there has been only one. The county was gerry mandered so as to give the Republicans two members, and it was expected that the Third district would be hopelessly fusion. Contrary to all expectations this district elected A. S. JHinsell, who is instructed for Stanley, to the legislature. This is the first time Sedgwick county has sent three Republican members to the lower house for twelve years. It Senator "Jim" Tapp stays by his deter mination to go into the Republican cau cus and support Governor Stanley, Stanley will have four votes from Sedg wick county. The unexpected election of L. M. Lin ton over Webb McNall in Smith county is credited to the Stanley sentiment in Smith county. It was so generally con ceded that McNall would be elected that none of the senatorial candidates at tempted to line up Linton. McNall's election was conceded by everybody in cluding himself. J. R. Burrow, secre-' tary of state-elect, of Smith Center, said the Republicans were just as much sur prised at electing Linton as McNall was in being defeated. The sentiment in Smith county is said to be for Stanley for United States senator and this elect ed Linton- It is not known wh.it Lin ton's preferences are on the senatorial question, but it is presumed that he wilt be for Stanley. The Republicans will have at least 93 members in the lower house and prob ably more. On a basis of 93 there will be 126 votes in the Republican legisla tive caucus, as there are 33 hold-over Republican senators. It will take 64 to nominate a United States senator. On a basis of 93 sure Republican vote? in the lower nouse tne ionowing esti mate is made of their distribution: Curtis 26 Long 23 Stanley 22 Calderhead Bowersock 3 Doubtful 11 This is about the way they may line up on the first ballot. When Bowersock gets out of the race his three. Barker and Stubbs of Doulas and Mendenhall of Linn, will probably go to Curtis. Calderhead's eieht will be distributed pretty evenly among the other three candidates. Conwessman Curtis and his manager. A. K. Ttodgers, are very confident that Mr. Curtis will be elected senator. Mr. Curtis says he will have a majority in the Republican caucus on the first bal lot. Curtis is surely a winner." said A. K. Rodgers today. "The returns from the legislative districts prove that to my satisfaction, ana Mr. uurtis win oe elected the next United States senator. This is not mere idle prophecy made for effect, but it is what I really believe. Congressman Long has not yet come to Topeka, but a number of his friends are here. W. Y. Morgan who Is recog nized as Long's manager, refused to make an estimate of how tne legislature will line up. "I'll say this that Long- will have three votes in Reno county." said Mr. Morgan, "but I do not believe in mak ing claims. Members of the legislature don't want to be claimed by anybody, but I think- things are in pretty good shape for Long." Governor Stanley was at work in his office today, catching up with his work after the election. "The result of the election is most gratifying," he said. "While Bailey's majority is unexpectedly large, even to the Republicans, it is only what he de serves. He made a great campaign and won a great victory, and he will rive the state an administration that will strengthen the party and himself. An other cause of congratulation is that for the first time in many years we will send a solid Republican delegation to congress and supplement this with an other Republican United States senator. The result is the highest compliment to Republican policies and of course the Republicans feel somewhat elated." "How do you feel over the senatorial situation?" the "overnor was asked. "Well," he said, rubbing his hands in that characteristic way of his, "I feel first rate. I am pleased with the large number of my personal and political friends who pulled through. I am evi dently ir. the senatorial race much more than some of my competitors were will ing to admit before the election. 1 made no extravagant claims and so I am not now compelled to make any hum'liating explanations. The nomination anu elec tion of my friends were secured without making war off any other candidate. I have endeavored to conduct raj campaign so far without resorting to methods un becoming a person seeking the high of fice of United States senator and I am perfectly satisfied with the results. "Mr. Curtis has but little support out side the First and Fourth congressional districts. Mr. Calderhead has but little outside the Fifth, and Mr. Long but little outside the Seventh- My support comes from all over the state and ;n the- big Seventh I hare nearly as many as L,on:r. "I have another advantage, or rather the candidacies of my competitors are at tended with a greater disadvantage than mine because they have been runring for two offices at the same time. The voters seem to have considered that this was put ting it on pretty thick as shown by the election returns. Curtis, Calderhead and Long each -eotived a splendid vote and were thus cn.lursed for congressman, but each of them carried districts in which legislative candidates pledged to their re spective candidacies for the senats lost, thus showing that the people were willing to return them to congress but unwilling to take them out of the lower house and Eend them to the senate, and so mane their seats in congress vacant." CLIFFTON S "EVIL EYE." Judge McCabe Wouldn't Hear About It in Court. A case in the city court today was the result of the alleged hypnotic powers of Carl Cliffton, an employe of the Western Woolen mills. W. A. Patrick had Cliffton arrested for disturbing the peace. It seems that Patrick so strongly believed in Cliff ton's "black art" that he became satu rated with the idea that Cliffton was using him for a subject. They worked at the same table in the pressing department, and one day Patrick gave Cliffton a first class "cussing," and threatened to do him bodily injury if he did not cease "casting spells" on him. Cliffton came around the table and put a fresco touch on Patrick's eye, and was subsequently arrested and fined. Then he had Patrick arrested for "cussing" and otherwise disturbing him Patrick was discharged. Judge McCabe refused to consider the possible hypnotic powers of Cliffton, al though Attorney Schoch tried to look grave while he was telling how the poor young man was only "cussing" Cliffton to break the spell and defend himself against the evil influence. The attorney for the defense tragically stated that a man had as much right to defend his mind as he did his person. HAD A PHONOGRAPH. An Innovation at the Funeral of a Leavenworth Citizen. Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. Daniel P. Williams, aged 67 years, died at his home. Sixteenth and Ohio avenues, Monday ev ening. During the funeral service yester day afternoon instead f a choir a phono graph chanted tiie'55ole9nftira. Bev, Samuel Pearson of the First Con gregational chureh officiated at the funer al. He spoke upon the usual theme at such occasions to a large i number of friends and neighbors who nad congre gated. In closing he referred to the hard materialistic standards of the present "day. The little mourning crowd in ihe house. however, were much faurprised at the in novation introduced, the choir being dis pensed with and a phonograph playing the solemn notes of "The Holy City, "Jesus Thou Wilt" and "Miserere." AN OPEN QUESTION Whether or Not a Soldier May Fight With His Fists. Washington, Nov. 5. The war depart ment is reluctant to commit itself on ths subject of prize fighting in the army. Some time ago the commanding general of the department of the Missouri re quested a decision of the department upon the question of the request of an enlisted man in the army to' participate as a principal in an athletic boxing con test. In reply he was informed that "there are some sublects as to which it is impossible for the war department to prescribe a uniform rule, and this is one of them. But apart from the strict law in tiie case, it is a matter of common information that local sentiment is di vided in respect to contests of the kind i j j j described, and this adds to the difficulty fr.amir,o- u tt-or-o thorn r,n W 1 obstacles n the way of its preparation." There being no legal power in the de partment to establish a rule on the sub ject, the acting secretary of war decides that the question presented be left to the regulation of tne post commander. VEST FOUND DEAD. Son of Missouri Senator Expires While Alone in His Room. Washington, Nov. 6. George Vest, jr., son and private secretary of Senator Vest of Missouri, died at the Columbia hotel in this city this morning between the hours of 3 and 6 c-'clpck. He went to the hotel at 6 o'clock yesterday after noon and was seen last by the night clerk at 3 o'clock this morning, whefS he asked for ice water. He complained of feeiing ill. When the clerk next called at the room, soon after 6 o'clock, he found Mr. Vest dead. Dr. Frederick H. Morhart of the Emergency hospital, was called and said that Mr. Vest had expired not later than 5 o'clock. The immediate cause of death was convul sions, due to acute gastritis. Mr. Vest was about 42 years old. He leaves a widow and child. HUNG BY HER DRESS. Unhappy Outcome of a Runaway Accident. Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 6. When an automobile seared the horses driven by Otto Mull, of Union Hill, yesterday they ran away. Mull and his wife were thrown from their carriage, which struck a tree. The crowd that gathered icund Mull lying insensible upon the ground, but Mrs. Mull was out of sight. A moan attracted their attention, and they found the missing woman hanging by her dress skirt from the limb of a tree. She had fainted. Two men climbed .the tree and rescued the suspended woman, who was not hurt much, but she was intensely annoyed. Temperatures of Large Cities.

Last Day of Arbitration Com missioners in the Mines. Visited Seven and Got Their Faces Smeared With Dust. HAVE SEEN ENOUGH. Believe They Are Now Prepared to Hear the Case And Render a Decision in Accor dance With Facts. Mahonoy City, Pa., Nov. 6. The an thracite strike commission ended its tour of observation of the coal fields in the Panther crek valley and ttfe mem bers of the party will return to their homes today and will meet again at Scranton on November 14 to take the testimony of tbe miners. The biggest day's work of the entire trip was ac complished Wednesday when the com missioners made a complete inspection of two large collieries and a tour of the region lying between Mount Carmel and this city. Six working days have been consumed in traveling from place to place in the anthracite regions and the arbitrators feel that they are now aualified to sit in judgment on the controversy between the mine owners and their employes. In all the commissioners were lowered into seven mines of varying conditions and went through several breakers. They met the general superintendents. the mine superintendents and foremen of the various collieries visited, and also personally talked with the grimy coal diggers in the dark gangways and chambers hundreds of feet below the earth's surface. They heard the griev ances the workers say they have, and also heard the company's side of the complaint. Besides this the commis sioners gained a somewhat technical knowledge of mining in its many differ ent features, that will be of the greatest assistance to them. They will be able to understand questions and ask questions -where they -would not have been able to understand them 1f they had not been underground. The commissioners" special train left Mt. Carmel at 7:45 a. m. and first visit ed the Potts colliery in Columbia county, several miles from Mt. Carmel. It is owned by the Philadelphia Reading coal coKe company. The breaker of this colliery is different from those seen by the commissioners at other places. They went all over the building, and were much interested in the workmen employed there, among whom were many boys. From the Potts colliery the train proceeded through Ashland, Girardville and Gilbert on to the Mapie Hill colliery of the Philadelphia Reading- Coal ft Iron company in the Ma honoy valley, a few miles from Shenan doah. This is one of the best mines in the entire anthracite field and is equipped with all modern appliances. The bottom of the shaft is 730 feet be low the surface, and during their two hours' stay in the workings the commis sioners went about a mile and a half from the shaft. The whistle blew for the noon hour just as the party came to the surface. At the breaker nearby the commissioners talked with the bors, whose faces were black from coal dust. Judge, Gray and Bishop Spalding seemed the most interested in the lads, and each gave some of them small coin. From the Maple Hill colliery the train was ran down through Mahonoy City and Tamaqua to the Panther Creek val ley. There the arbitrators visited the No. 8 colliery of the Lehigh Coal Navigation company of Coaldale. The entrance to the mines was through a drift which is a horizontal opening. About 100 feet inside the entrance the party was lowered by means of a shaft to the bottom, which is 850 feet down. The mine was quite wet and every one in the party got more or less wet. The members of the commission passed along the gangway on mine cars drawn by mules they went under workedout chutes from which the water flowed in streams. While going under one chut the mules stopped and the water fell into one of the cars, thoroughly soaking all its occupants. It was an uncomfor table position to be in and the commis 1 riunris in vile uniei tuis LOUti 11 US H t n,i n, "I sioners in tne otner cars took It as a Y" "'caBuc v. WCIC directly under the chute. The party went to the end of two long gangways about a half mile in length and uo into a very steep chute, where they found miners at work. In order to get into the chute the commis sioners had to climb a ladder and crawl over broken coal through a small open ing. Their hands and faces were smear ed with coal dust when they came out. After leaving the mine, a number of idle mine workers, crowded around Chairman Gray of the commission and told him that they had been discrimina ted against by the company in the matter of getting their old places back. They said Superintendent Behiner would not take them back for some rea son unknown to them and that other men had been given their positions. On the other hand the company's officials claimed that they have not enough work at this time for all the men on account of repair work now beinsr done in the mines. Judze Gray listened to them, bt made no comment. The commissioners arrived in this city at 5 o'clock and spent the night at a hotel. They will leave for Pottsville at about 9 o'clock today and will depart from the latter place for their homes during the afternoon. The commissioners' special cars will be run to Washington by way of Philadelphia and from the latter city some of the commissioners will go to New York. The commissioners held a conference in the parlors of the hotel at which arrange ments for the holding of the hearings and also the mode of procedure in taking tes timony was discussed. It is likely that the Scrantorr hearing will be heard in the court house there. The status of the independent coal com panles in the present arbitration proceed ings is not clear. All of them have been invited to participate In the hearing they so desire. The Lehigh Coal Navi gation company, it is understood, has acreed to abide by the decision of th commissi 3n as also have several small in dependent concerns. It is believed that all of them will accept the arbitrators de cision. If they do this the commission is likely to take up the. grievances which have arisen at some of the Independent collieries since the strike was declared off. The commission has steadfastly re fused to visit any collieries where the owners have not agreed to abide by the award of the commission. "Weather Indications. Chicago, Nov. 6.

The commissioners will arrive in Phil adelphia this evening. IN HIS NEW OFFICE. President Roosevelt Again In stalled at the White House. Washington, Nov. 6. President Roose velt today began the transaction of busi ness in the new executive offices adjoin ing the White House. A few finishing touches still remain to be put upon the building, but the interior is practically completed and the office force has been installed. The president was in his office early but before he had reached it the public re ception room was well filled with visitors. The president, however., was kept busy with Secretary Cortelyou until the arrival about 10:30 almost simultaneously of At torney General Knox, Colonel Clayton Mc Michael, postmaster of Philadelphia, and the members of the civil service commis sion. The president greeted them together and after a few minutes' talk with Colonel McMichael. he had an extended consulta tion with the members of the commission. The president expressed to Colonel Mc Michael his gratification over the results of the election, saying that next to New York, his principal interest was in the Keystone state. The members of the civil service commission would not state the nature of their business but. it is believed the charge of violation of the civil service laws in Pennsylvania was discussed.

STANDS BY MOLINEUX. Expert Carvalho Doesn't Believe He Addressed Poison Package. New York. Nov. 6. When court opened today in the Molineux trial David N.

He said he did not believe that Molineux wrote the poison package wrapper or any of the disputed writings and then in detail he explained to the jury his reasons for his opinions. As soon as the direct examination of Carvalho was completed, Mr. Osborne, as sistant district attorney, made another ttempt to get the "Barnett diagnosis blank" in evidence, but Justice Lambert declined to reverse his earlier ruling ex cluding it. Congress About Boys. New York. Nov. 6. The sessions of the congress about boys were resumed todav with George W. Ehler, chairman of the Chicago Boys' Work conference. in the chair. Max Mitchell, secretary or the Federation of Jewish Charities of Boston, and organizer of the Boys In dustrial league, described the league. He said it was composed of Boston newsboys and was non-sectarian. "All our efforts are needed, he said, 'to educate the boys who have left school." Befuse to Indict Cincinnati, Nov. 6 A special to the Times-Star from Wheeling says: The grand jury has refused to indict Rodella Bain, the young woman charged with throwing Miss Gay Smith of JBridgeport, O., into the river because of jealousy for Henry Nolan. The girl denies her con fession to Chief Ritz, asserting that it was made when she was not in her proper mental condition. She is to be released as soon as she recovers. -She is yet in the hospital.

Largest Gains Were Made iu Mining Counties. FUSIONISTS GOT FIVE. Out of 105 Counties Republicans Get 100. t Bailey's Plurality in the State Is 34,863. One very potent reason for the sweep ing Republican victory in Kansas last Tuesday was the great popularity of President Roosevelt with the people. The clean administration which Stanley has given the state as governor is an other. The Roosevelt Influence can he plainly seen in the tremendous changes which have been wrought in Crawford and Cherokee counties, the Populist strong hold of the state. Cherokee has never been known to elect a Republican ticket in ten years. It has frequently given a majority of 2,000 or more against the Republicans. Crawford has been nearly as bad until two years ago, when the Republicans won a partial victory. Both are mining counties. Roosevelt's action in settling the coal strike doubtless ap pealed strongly to the miners, for Craw ford county gave Bailey a majority of 900, and even Cherokee was carried for him and possibly elected an entire Re publican county ticket. The Republican gain in these two counties alone was about 2,000. Then, too, in Allen county, where there has been a tremendous increase in the labor vote, which was looked upon as an unknown quantity, the Republi cans made tremendous gains. Two years ago Allen county gave Stanley a majority of 484. This year it rolls up approximately 1,200. In Osage, another county with a big mining vote, which has been a Populist stronghold in the past, the Republicans got 700 majority this year to only 37 two years ago. According to the late returns today Craddock carried only five counties, and there may be some doubt about two of these. Ellis county is now at the head of the Democratic column, giving Crad dock 400 majority. Decatur county comes next with 200. Thomas with 50, and Rush and Lincoln are also credited to Craddock, the former by 50 and th latter by less than 30 votes. It Is not at all improbable that one of these may be transferred to the Republican crl umn when the final returns are in. Mr. Craddock lost his own county, Wyan dotte, by about 1,000 plurality. Shawnee county continues to stand at the head of the Republican column by rolling up a majority of over 3.000. To peka alone gives him 2,502. Sedgwick. Reno, Doniphan and Allen each roll up a majority of, 1,200 or more,, while Wyandotte, Marion and Douglas come in with about 1,000. The old-time Popu list stronghold of Crawford misses the 1.000 mark by only 100. Without the Sol-, diers' home vote Leavenworth county is Democratic by 200, but the vote of the veterans throws it 500 for Bailey. The following shows the majorities by counties given on governor as reported today. They give Bailey a net majority of 34,863, but as some of the counties are only approximated this total will be somewhat changed: Crad dock. County. Bailev.

Badgers Are to Go West During the Holidays. Wisconsin Eleven to Tisit the Pacific Coast in December. WILL PLAY AT FRISCO. Hare the Hard Teams of Leland Stanford and U. of C. Confident of Winning With Chi cago and Minnesota. Madison, Wis., Nov. 6. It is now set tled that the Wisconsin team will go to the Pacific coast during- the holidays. The faculty at its last meeting- gave its consent to the trip, and Manager Kil patrick, who has had the proposition in hand for some time, will now close the deal. The trip will be made entirely during the holiday vacation, and the men will miss but one day of school. Games will, it is expected, be played with both Leland Stanford and the University ot California, the latter on Christmas day at San Francisco and the former on New year's day at Pasadena. All the members of the Wisconsin football team except Captain Juneau were out for practice yesterday after roon. Juneau is still going on crutches cn account of injuries to his weak knee In Saturday's game. None of the others have any bad injuries, but all are stiff and sor, and they were only given signal practice of a light order. The work will probably be light all the week, as the men were trained to an edge for Saturday's game, and it is not thought necessary that they be kept fine for their contest with Northwestern. The rooters are still playing the Mich igan game over, and, while Referee hinkey comes in for a universal roast ing for the various favors he bestowed on Michigan, it is conceded by every body that the latter would have won without his help. Anxiety is beginning to be felt over the coming- contests with Minnesota and Chicago, but Wisconsin is still confident of winning both. The lineup for the Mirnesota game will be the same as that with Michigan, except that Driver will probably go in at full back at the beginning of the game with Vander boom at half instead of Liljequist. M'GINNIS CASHED. Made a Killing on Tribes Hill, a One Hundred Dollar Colt. New York, Nov. 6. When Tribes Hill won the first race at Ao.ueduct Jack McGinnis, the well known betting com missioner, was happy. The colt, a 3-year-old son of Clifford Garoag. was once the property of S. Sanford Sons, but during the recent Morris Park meeting he was cut up at auction. In spite of William Easton's earnest re quest for bids, nobody seemed to want Tribes Hill, so he was led out of the ring. Somebody offered $25 for him, but it was refused. Then McGinnis put in a taO offer, but that was turned down. "I'll give $100 for him rather than see him go back to the farm at Amster dam." said McGinnis, and Tribes Hill became his property. When McGinnis decided to et?rt the colt he also con cluded to bet on him. A commissioner named Harrison was sent into the ring with J325, instructed to bet $75 straight and S'.'rtO to show. He had no trouble in getting the money down, securing 60 to J straight and 12 to 1 third, or $4,500 to $75 and $3,000 to $250. Scott, the sta ble boy, had the mount, and he rode a fine race. Tribes Hill won by a head. and McGinnis pocketed $7,000, In addi tion to Si SO, which was his share of the purse, ?nd all with a one hundred-dollar colt. In the days of Guttenburg McGinnis was struggling' along in a precarious way, but in recent years he has amassed quite a snug fortune. He won a barrel of money at Brighton Beach with his colt Reformer, when the latter came home with 40 to 1 against him. MICHIGAN" IN CONDITION. Redden and Sweeley Only Men Un able to Take Part in Practice. Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. G. Instead of the men getting overconfident as the result of Saturday's game, they seem encouraeed to redouble their efforts to maintain a clean record. In yesterday's practice on Ferry field every man in the squad was out except Redden and Swee ley. The former's ankle keeps him out of the game and Sweeley was sick. He did not go to his classes. Yost gave the men 15 minutes hard signal practice, and every man was into the formations on clean jumps, showing that they do. not feel any bad effects from the bumps in Saturday's game. Capt. Weeks characterized the manner in which the men have resumed their work- as "the best sjolrit he had seen this season." Although Iowa will be taken on next Saturday. Yost has commenced to drill the men on the line of attack to be used against Chicago, November 15, but this will not be exhibited in the Iowa game, and nobody but the squad will know just what system he will use against Stagg's men. The students have not yet ceased talking about the Wisconsin game, and there is more contentment in Ann Arbor today than in any place in the United States. Iowa Prepares for Michigan. Iowa City, la.. Nov. 6. All of the reg ular varsity players were out in uni form last night save Siberts and Coult hard, the ends. Ross and Stoltenberg played in their places. Coach Knipe in- iueu a noticeable amount of ginger into the team's practice. A number of new formations were tried. Dr. Knlpe spent a great deal of his time in watching the ends and pointing out the style of play of Michigan's half backs and ends against them. The tiraetice was open and many students watched the teams work to see what might be expected of the team at Ann Arbor Saturday. Abe Prank Is at Memphis. Memphis. Tenn., Nov. 6. Four car loads of horses, including M. H. Tiche nor Co.'s stable of runners and G. C. Bennett's string, have arrived at Mont gomery park from Chicago. Anions- the Bennett lot is Abe Frank, winner of the lennessee Derby, who has not started since early in the season. Abe Frank will be turned out for the winter and win be taken east m 1903. Gate Receipts of Chicago Game. Chicago, Nov. 6. Managers Baird and Kilpatiick were out at Marshall field in the afternoon conferring- with Direc tor Stagg In regard to the financial set tlement of Saturday's earns. The two managers had spent a good part of Sun day counting the money taken in for tickets, and while the official figures, with expenses, will not be ready for nearly a week the estimate shows that about 18.000 went through the gates on paid admissions. The total receipts will aggregate in toe neighborhood of $25,000, of which Chicago will receive 10 per cent gross for the use of the field. After all the other expenses are taken out the balance will be equally divided between the athletic associations of the two col leges, each receiving $9,000 or $10,000. INDIANS LEAVE TODAY. Team Not in Best of Shape for Texas Game. Iawrence, Kan., Nov. 6. Haskell Indians left this morning for Austin, Tex., to play the University of Texas on Saturday. The effects of the Nebraska game are still much in evidence. The redmen arc not discouraged or cast down over their de feat and are connd.T-t of victory over the Rangers, although the latter are playing a strong p-ame this season and nioy cause the Indians some trouble. Captain Fallis will not be in the contest, but the remainder of th? first teem will be in good shape and should be able to play a good game, although the trip will be a hard one. The party will include Coach Outland, Manager Plank and 14 players. This allows three substitutes. K. U. Chances Gloomy. Lawrence, Kan.. Nov. 6. With the big Nebraska game only three days distant, K. U.'s chances are anything but bright. The team can not hope to get into as good condition as it was in before the north ern trip. Peters is out of the game be yond all doubt, and will probably not be able even to go to Lincoln. The gap at center is still causing trouble and the of fense is not likely to be strong. Every thing seems to be against the Jayhawker1?, but their grit is still there in large quan tities. After the crushing defeat admin istered the Indians last Saturday by tne Cornhuskers the advantage would be with Nebraska even were Kansas in good form. The Indians are faster -individually and have a stronger attack than Kansas, yet the Cornhuskers held the nhoriglnes to a total of only about 50 yards gain in the entire game. Of course, it was not Has kell's best team that went down to detest Saturday, and it is probable that Kansis could win from the line-up that faced the Nebraskans. Kansas plays fully as strong a defensive game as Haskell. Hard Practice at Yale. New Haven. Conn., Nov. 6. Yale had two slight accidents at the last practice. Ralph Kinney had his knee thrown out, and in the last sunt of the afternoon Ralston Coffin dived at Bowman and was kicked on the head. He was bad ly dazed for more than an hour. The varsity and scrubs were sent through two smashing 25-minute halves, with all of the regulars in the play at the start. Rafferty and Wilhelmi were both played on end. The varsity scored three times by plowing up the scrubs, and Metcalf drorved two goals from the field. Scott of the scrubs crabbed the ball on a fumble and raced 35 yards for a touch down. The second team end rush also secured the oval on another varsity fumble and had a clear field for another touchdown when Capt. Chadwick yelled at him to stop. Harvard Preparing for Penn. Cambridge. Mass.. Nov. fi. The Har vard varsity eleven was given light work yesterday afternoon, as the ma jority of the men had not .recovered from the effects of the hard game with the Indians. The next game is sched uled for Saturday, and as Pennsylvania is the opposing team, the remainder of the week srobably will be devoted to hammering the Pennsylvania formation plays, although Harvard does not fear the wearers of the red and blue. Mills, the substitute right tackle on the var sity, played left end on the second eleven while Harrison had a trial at full back. The second eleven put up a stiff fight against the substitutes in the scrimmage work, neither side scoring. Dan Patch at Kansas City. Kansas City. Nov. 6. Dan Patch, the great son of the famous Kansas bred stal lion. Joe Patchen, and the. speediest, lignt; Harness Horse that steps the turr today, with Prince Direct. Baron DeShay and John Nolan, the runner, making up the Sturgis' string, under the direction of Mi- ron K. McHenry. is now in Christie stable at the Kansas City Driving club's Brtisn Creek track. The premier pacer, in com pany with the other two grand circuit per formers, arrived in Kansas City yesterday afternoon over four hours late from Mern- phis. where they participated in the big meet at the Billings' track. The special car, especially prepared for the equine stars, was. brought in over the Missouri Pacific owing to the trouble on the main line of the Memphis route. Beloit Team in Good Shape. Beloit, Wis., Nov. 6. Practice by the Beloit team last night was light. The team is in fine condition after its hard contest against Chicago Saturday. The next hard game will be with North western, November 15. This contest should be a good one because of Law rence's record so far this season. ReifFs Damage Case. Paris, Nov. 6. J. Reiff, the American jockey, has begun suit against a sporting paper, La V ie au Grand Air, claiming damages for an alleged defamatory article published in connection with the with drawal of his license. The citation de clares the paper made false assertions against Reiff's professional honesty. The jockey specifically denies pulling Saint Saulge at the St. Cloud races. The case will be heard November 26. Y Zeigler Whips Bennett Quick. Savannah. Ga... Nov. 6. Owen Zeigler of this city and Jack Bennett of McKeesnort, Pa., met here last night for 20 rounds at 147 pounds. Before the first round was half over Zeigler caught Bennett on the point of the jaw with a lett uppercut and the Pennsylvania man went down and out. Vanderbilt's Horse Fourth. Paris,. Nov. 6. W. K.

KANSASJEWS, Labette County Has Large Court Docket for Trial. One Hundred and Fonr Cases to Be Disposed Of. 17 CRIMINAL SUITS. One Tiolation of the Prohibi tory Law for Hearing. Alleged Violation of the Quaran tine Law Also. Oswego, Kan., Nov. 6. The November term of the district court will open ior business at Oswego this morning. The docket Is a large one containing 104 cases. Six of these cases are demurrer cases, 47 are court cases. 34 are civil jury cases and there are 17 criminal cases. Among the cases to be heard at this term of court are 20 divorce cases. A num ber of cases that are on the docket for this term a're of more than usual interest. The case of Harry Troegle, who is suing the city of Parsons for several thousand dol lars damages on account of injuries re ceived In a runaway, will probably be tried at this term of court. This runaway occurred on Crawford ave nue at night and was caused by another team on the street running into the horse and buggy driven by Troegle. The claim (or damages in this suit is based on the tact that the streets where the collision occurred were not properly lighted and therefore the city is liable for the darn ages caused by the collision. Two cases of the board of county com missioners against John Mayer, are also on the docket. Tht se cases are for a total of over $4,000. which amount is claimed by the county commissioners to be due from Mayer for fees collected during the two terms that Mayer was clerk of the district court. li. F. Asbell and grandson. James As bell, will be tried for violating the quar antine law by driving some cattle across the Quarantine line in the Indian Terri tory into Kansas. The penalty for this is a fine of JSO1) and not to exceed 30 days in jail. The notorious Mary Weathers, who is charged with holding up and robbing so many men in Parsons, and also made such a vigorous resistance to being taken to the county jail at Oswego, Willi come t.f fur trial at this term. The specific charge for which Mary will stand trial is grand larceny. STAYING OUT OF SCHOOL. Parents Not Looking After Their Children at Atchison. Atchison. Kaa, Nov. 6. The Globe says: People are not sending their chil dren to school as they should. The re port of the superintendent of the schools for the month of October shows an en rollment of 1,814, as against 1,854 for the corresponding month last year. This falling off is surprising in view of the fact that there are no vacant houses In Atchison, and as there are certainly more people here than there were a year ago. The decrease is ac counted for by school authorities in four ways: the decrease in the enrollment in the colored schools, the fact tha: an unusual amount of work in every line this fall interferes with he schools, the increased attendance of private schools, and an unusual amount of sickness, which has been prevalent. There is seating capacity for 2,394 in the rooms now open, and this could be increased 194 by opening additional rooms. While many children are out of school for good reasons, many are running on the streets who should be in school. It is a fact that no effort has been made for years to get children into school. This partially accounts for Atchison's small enrollment, but the number may compare favorably with that of other towns of Atchison's population when the enrollment of the parochial and private schools, of which we have an unusual number, is added. OLD SOLDIER'S VOTES. Democrats Will Contest Counting of Leavenworth Home Vote. Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. 6. Chairman E. E. Murphy, of the Democratic county central committee, said that he had not yet decided what steps would be taken by the Democrats to prevent the counting of the Soldiers' home vote. At a meeting of the Democratic candidates whose election depends on the throwing out of this vote a conference will be held today to decide whether or not to take steps at once to contest the legality of the vote. It is prob-. able that these candidates will ask Judge Gillpatrick to enjoin the county commis sioners from counting this vote when they meet Friday to canvass the vote of the county. Without the Soldiers' home vote nearly all of the Republican nominees are defeat ed, but they believe that the courts will decide that the vote is legal and thus save them. It will probably require several months for the courts to settle the ques tion, and there will be some quarreling as to who should occupy the various offices In the meantime. Opinion as to the legali ty of the vote is about evenly divided in Leavenworth. A majority of the local lawyers contend that the old soldiers are not eligible voters unless they are living in regular homes, but a majority of the members of the home claim that as their permanent home. Shoot at Florence. Florence, Kas., Nov. 6. The second annual tournament of the Florence Gun club will be held In this city November 25 and 26. This shoot is expected to be one of the biggest events of the state and all the prominent trapshooters will be in attendance. Targets will also be thrown from the Magau trap and the moneys will be divided under the Rose system. SI ooters will be handicapped from fourteen to eighteen yards. One hundred dollars will be added to the entrance money, making a good induce ment for winning. There will be ten events each day of fifteen, twenty and twenty-five birds. i i Pastor Goes to Omaha. Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. 6. Rev. E. Combie Smith, for three years pastor of the First M. E. church in this city, has accepted the pastorate of the First M. E. church In Omaha. The church of which Rev. Mr. Smith will become pastor In Omaha is one of the largest in that city. Rev. Mr. Smith Is regarded as one of the most successful ministers in Kansas. The Methodist church in this city is the oldest In Kansas, hav ing been built about 1S50. Bishop Millspaugh Confirms. Blue Rapids, Kas., Nov. 6. Bishop Millspaugh held a service here and con firmed a large class in St. Mark's chapeL Blue Bapids Went Republican. Blue Rapids, Kas., Nov. 6. The Blue Rapids township election resulted as usual in a Republican victory. Out of a. total of 393 votes there were 115 straight Republican tickets and 33 straight Democrat. The officers elected are: Trustee. Sanda Quinn; treasurer, W. J. Burr; clerk, S. W. GUson; justices of tbe peace, 3. A.. Death and A. J. Loom is; constables, George Heathman and Sam Savllle. The venerable Dr. Boyakin, aged 96, came in from his farm to vote. Osage County Republican. Carbondale, Kas., Nov. 6. The Re publicans seemed to have about everything- their way here Tuesday, giving good majorities to nearly all the can didates on both the state and county tickets. The entire Republican town ship ticket, with the exception of trus tee, was elected. The day passed off quietly and the vote, considering the occasion, was light. Charged With Illegal Voting. Arkansas City, Kan., Nov. 6. Tom and Walter Farnsworth, young men who work at Red Rock, I. T., are under arrest in this cfty on the charge of casting illegal ballots Tuesday. These arrests bring up an old subject that has caused much dis cussion in this part of the country. The young men assert that, while they are working in the territory, they regard this place as their home. The complaint plac ing the charge against the men was filed by J. Mack Love, ex-chairman of the Democratic central committee. The Farns worths are out of jail on bonds of J300 each. Fell from a Bridge. Sallna, Nov. 6. An old man named Jen nison, an inmate of the county poor farm, was found in an unconscious state lying beside the Union Pacific tracks near the Dry creek bridge Wednesday. He has been unconscious most of the time since, but when he was able to talk he said that he was returning to the poor farm west of the city last night he was struck by a Union Pacific train, but this story Is not believed by the authorities who think thai he fell from a railroad bridge. ALBAUGH AS A MANAGER Chairman of Republican State Committee Is Happy. Nobody In Kansas probably feels any better over the result of Tuesday's elec tion than Morton Albaugh, chairman of the Republican state central committee. It really exceeded his expectations. The highest estimate he made during the last week before election was 27,000 plurality for Bailey, and S5 Republican members of the legislature. MORTON ALBAUGH, Who Led the Republican Forces to Victory. Albaugh seems to be particularly fortu nate in his estimates. The reason prob ably is that he Is a thorough organizer and pays personal attention to all the de tails of the campaign. He knows the local situation in nearly every precinct in the state. As a result he has never been fooled the wrong way on his esti mates since he has been at the head of the Republican state committee. When Albaugh was first elected state chairman just prior to the campaign of 1898 the fusionlsts had every office in the state house, all but one member of the supreme court, a big majority in both branches of the legislature, and every members of congress except Broderickand Curtis. In the first campaign which he conducted the Republicans gained the state officers, the lower house of the legis lature, all the congressmen but one and a majority of the supreme court. The next time they added the state senate to the list. Now, in the third campaign which Albaugh has conducted they have swept the whole state. They have every state officer, including all seven members of the supreme court, a solid congression al delegation, a "brutal" majority in both branches of the legislature, and probably Cured by Botanic Blood Balm -stops Hone Fains Cures Kheumatlsm and Catarrh money Back if It Falls to Cure.

It la liled "With the Department Asks for Better Quarters. Washington, Nov. The annual re port of Lieut. Cien. .Miles, commanding the army, is a brief review of the re ports that have been submitted to him by other officers. He endorses the rec ommendation of Gen. Brooke for a re adjustment of the geographical limits of the different departments with a view Of equalizing conditions. Men. Miles calls attention to the necessity of quar ters for troops, saying that while hun dreds of thousands of dollars are beins spent for quarters fur cavalry, very lit tle is being used to afford shelter for ar tillery, which is exposed to severe cil mates along the coasts. "These troops," Bays Gen. Miles, "are required to be lo cated adjacent to the fortifications, not withstanding the exposed position ot many of them, and I see no reason why buildings Fliould not be properly con Ptuet:'d in time to be occupied, when it is known for years exactly where an.i vhen they will be required. I also call attention to the incomplete condition of the fortifications, especially on the Pa cific coast, where millions have been ex pended in engineering and ordnance work, and yet the commands have not been properly supplied with ammunition, electrical plants and other appliances essential to the effective use of these fortifications in actual warfare." Gen. Miles says: "During the past year there have been no serious engage ments except that of the troops under Gen. Frank D. Baldwin in Mindanao, P. I., with the Moros. For the number of m"u engaged this was a very spirited ami desperate engagement. Our forces were commanded by one of the mo.-t experienced and efficient officers of the arn v. vh'e record has always been, of the richest order, and his achievements, i together with that of the troops in this! cngigtment, made another chapter off fortitude, tenacity and heroic sacrifice in the history of American arms.

HEARST'S COMPLAINT. It Has Been Filed "With. Interstate Commerce Commission. "Washington, Nov. 6. The complaint of William Randolph Plearst of New York, against the anthracite coal carrying rail roads, charging that the latter's rates for the transportation of coal from the an thractie field to New Kngland, New York, Maryland and the District of Columbia, are unreasonable and unjust, was riled with th interstate commerce commission today. The committee immediately sent notifications of the comphiint to the rail road companies named as defendants as follows Philadplphia Reading railroad, I-.ehigh Valley. Delaware, Lackawanna West ern, Central of New Jersey, New York, Susquehanna. Erie, New York, Ontario Western, Delaware Hudson, Pennsyl vania and Baltimore Ohio. The reads will have until the20th inst. to fiie tht ir answers. The complaint alleges that the rates subject the consumers at the points named, and the producers of such coal who are not common carriers or corporations owned and controlled by common carriers, to unreasonable preju dice and disadvantage in violation of the interstate commerce act. It charges that the rates are discriminating and preju dicial to the interests of the dealers and consumers of anthracite coal, as com pared with the transportation rates for bituminous coal for much longer distances, and also as compared with the defendants' ratfs and charges on other car loadfreight traffic generally. It is alleged that' the Lehigh, Central of New Jersey, Delaware Lackawanna Western and Erie, New York. Susquehanna Western and the Philadelphia Reading roads have enter ed into a pooling agreement. BHOTUEK OF J. J. INGALLS. Robert Morris Ingalls, a Boston Busi ness Man, Dead. Boston, Mass.. Nov. 6. Mr. Robert Morris Ingalls, president of the Standard Fire Kscape company, and a brother of .Senator John J. Ingalls of Kansas, so len'i a picturesque political figure in the west, is dead at the Massachusetts gen eral hospital. He was born in Haverhill 63 years ago. He moved to Louisville. Ky when a young man, and entered the boot and shoe business there. A disastrous Are forced him to give up that business some ten years 'ago, when he came back to Massachusetts and settled in Boston as head of the Standard Fire Escape com pany. He was taken sick two or three weel.s ago. Inzalls had a home on Myrtle street, and two unmarried daughters lived with him. A sen is in the United States treasury department in the west.

Chief Olficials of Santa Fe on Important Mission. Inspecting the Location for Pro posed Cut Off. STOCK UAS SLUMPED. Bears Hammering Down Santa Fe Securities.. Further Details Concerning the Proposed New Lines. A special train of three private cars occupied by the five chief officials of the Santa Fe operating department is mak ing a tour of the Santa Fe lines in southern Kansas and the Pecos Valley line. The trip is a significant one, as many points of great importance are to be discussed concerning the proposed construction of the New Mexico cut off, giving a short line to the Pacific coast. In this distinguished party are Presi dent E. P. Ripley, Third Vice President J. W. Kendrick, General Manager H. U. Mudge, General Superintendent J. E. Hurley and General Manager Nixon, ot' the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe. In view of the proposed important ex tensions of the Santa Fe, it is rather a remarkable fact that during the past week Santa Fe common and preferred stock has slumped off several points on che stock market. It is claimed that bear influences are at work trying to hammer down the price of the stock, and are having some success. Opinions the most widely differing ap pear to be held with respect to Atchi son, says the St. I.ouis Republic. Cur rent gossip has it that a prominent speculator has satisfied himself that Atchison stock is much too high and that he has sold a considerable block short with the idea of covering it at much lower prices. On the other hand. it is known that certain large holders of stock are extremely confident as re gards the future of the property, and talk very much higher prices for the common stock as likely within a few months. It is curious that there should be such a difference of opinion, but it may perhaps be accounted for by the recent financing of the property. There was great criticism a year ago of the issue of debentures at a time w hen con siderable dividends were being paid. Many people seem to have jumped to the conclusion that Atchison was starv ing the property in the first instance to pay dividends and that it was making good the deficiency in operating charges by borrowing money. This appears to be the basis for what bearishness there is on the stock. Ex amination of the company's operating expenses, however, clearly demonstrates the fact that maintenance charges have been ample, and that there has been no starving of the property upt the pres ent time. It will be interesting to sec whether the somewhat old-fashioned view of dividends and bond issues will be justified as against the more modern view of earning capacity apart from capital changes. Judged by the latter tc-st Atchison common stock compares not unfavorably with most of the other active stocks. The Albuquerque Citizen gives some important details concerning the con struction of the proposed line. The Santa Fe will build the road under the name of the Eastern Railway of New- Mexico. Incorporation papers were filed at Las Vegas by Judge H. L. alao, at torney for the company. The total mile age provided for in New Mexico is 385 miles. The Citizen says concerning the new line: "The building of the Eastern Railway of New Mexico will revolutionize rail road traffic in this territory. It will be noticed that tLe line on the east side of the Rio Grande via Abo, Fort Sum ner and Texieo, is nearly as due east and west as it can be, considering the topographical conditions. That the transcontinental business of the Santa Fe railway will go through New Mexico mainly via this new road is certain; it is also sure that the Mexico business of the road will be sent through southern Kansas vi". the new line and LaJoya. thence over the present Rio Grande di vision south. The line planned from near Fort Sumner- east to a connection with the Pecos river division of the Santa Fe railway system, will certainly be used for the transaction of trans continental business from Galveston to the Pacific coast. Belen, in Valencia county, in the neighborhood of which the new railroad will cross the Rio Grande and the Rio Grande division of the Santa Fe, is destined to become a most important railroad center. It is understood that the construction of the main line of the Eastern Railway of New Mexico will commence immediate ly and that its permanent location has been determined upon. The La Joya and Fort Sumner branches' will not be constructed until the main line of the Eastern railway shall have been fin ished. "This new road will prove an import ant factor in developing the portion of New Mexico east of the Rio Grande in Valencia and Guadalupe counties, a sec tion understood to be capable oi! great development and of latent resources." HARROWING EXPERIENCE. Runaway Train With 200 Passengers on a Mountain Track. Says the Denver Post: Two hundred passengers aboard a runaway train were treated to a harrowing experience on the heavy grade of the Rio Grande track? between Tennessee Pass and Eagle River canyon Wednesday morning. Disordered air brakes placed an immense train at the mercy of the force of gravitation and frightened the appetites out of 100 person at least. The limited Utah and California express which left Denver at S o"clock Tuesday evening was the train that went through this experience. It was two hours :ate and therefore the trouble occurred about S:30 a. m. Moet of the passengers in the three Pullman cars were still abed so that many were in ignorance of the danger until it was over. Just after leav ing Tennessee Pass station the engineer discovered that the air brakes did not re spond to his demands upon them. He felt the train increasing in speed and realized that 20 lives were in grave peril, the re sponsibility of saving them resting soleb upon himself. He pave a signal to the con ductor, and the latter, with the assist ance of the brakeman, ran through tht coaches to bind the brakes on the in dividual cars. The actions of the crew alarmed the occupants of the day coaches and this brought about a veritable panic Fifty or more men and women hastened to the rear of the train with the feeling that this was the safest place in case of a wreck. They sought to open the doors of the vestibule, out they did not under. stand the combination and were therefore compelled to make the best of their anxiety. The train ran for twenty miles before it was controlled, antl at a rate of considerable more than a mile a minute. There is a difference of more than 2.O0 feet between the elevations of Tennessee Pass and Eagle River canyon, the grade thus being about 100 feet to the mile. Pan do and Red Cliff are the only Intermediate stations and- tijtf train swept by these places with startling speed. It was at this very point that a freights wreck occurred two weeks ago, through the carelessness of the Pando operator, 1t is said, and two I men were killed.. The vain efforts to stop the train by means of the ordinary brakes and the reversing of the engine go to Ehow what momentum had to be over come. At least fifteen miles were passed while the brakes were on and the slowing down of the train dkll not occur till level country was reached. When it was final ly stopped, the air "brakes were found to be in such shape that they could not be repaired. Therefore the engineer crept the coaches into Minturn ;and there had the matter attended to. CLOSE CORPORATION. Power to Control Rock Island Vested in Four Men. New York, Nov. 6. With the issuance of the new Rock Island company stock now going on four men have absolutely fixed their control cf the Rock Island system, one of the largest and most promising in the country and the west The four men are W. H. and J. IL Moore, William Leeds, and D. G. Reid. This control is fixed through the terms printed on the stock certificates, which are being issued by the Central Trust company and accepted by shareholders. They provide in plain language that the conircl of tha board of directors of the company, bein a majority, shall be elected by votes of the preferred stock holders. The preferred stock is prin cipally owned by theye four men. In re sponse to criticism, the provision that the management of the company might buy and sell its own securities was eliminated. But the control of the board through the preferred stock has not been changed, as the certificates show. Out of the old capitalization 95 ner cent, has been deposited to exchange for the new securities, and it would appear that the stockholders are not dissatisfied with ths provisions of the new issue. The acceptance of stock has finally set tled the matter. BUDDHISTS WANT RATES. Pagan Missionaries Desire to Travel on Clergy Permits. At the regular meeting of the Trans continental Passenger association to be held in this city November IS, the pas senger representatives will have to de cide the status of Buddhist missionaries when traveling in the United States. The question to be determined is, Are t.uddhist missionaries entitled to half rate privileges on the railroads on the ground that they are ministers of the Gospel, clergymen. Christian mission aries or religious workers? Application has been made, it is understood, by sev eral of the riuddhist missionaries for clergy certificates, and the employes of the clergy bureau did not know what to rlo with the applications. Some of the passenger men to whom an appeal was made asserted that the Buddhists are heathens, and instead .of being advance guards of civilization are representa tives or the dark ages, and therefore not entitled to any consideration. It is likely that the coming meeting will decide to make the aggregate an nual gatherings of the association three n number instead of four, and provide that the places of meeting- shall be se lected by a two-thirds vote. Clergy ar rangements for 1Q03 will be under con sideration, together with' several import ant matters. WOULD NOT BE BLUFFED, Santa Fe Refuses to' Yield to' Beef Trusts Threats The Southern', Iacjfl Jiffs renewed its contract with, -Jjtochw, &VC'to use Ar mour refrigerators for another three years. The Santa Fe declares it will not renew its contract and is proceeding with plans to get .all the refrigerator cars it can. These two r-Oads recently announced they wo'ulj not renew thetr contracts with Armour Co. because they said- the packing com panies held a practical monopoly over railroads in the refrigerator car service. The packing house merger would make the monopoly absolute, and place the rail roads at the mercy of the packers. When the declaration was made Armour Co. said they would organize a com pany for the buying ami transportation of Callfernia fruit, i-o that their cars would not have to be idle. This announcement brought the Southern Pacific to terms. OFFICIAL'S COMPLAINT. Says That Demands of Union Labor Will Cut Down Net Earnings. Chicago. Nov. 6. A prominent railroal official who has just returned from a trip over the western lines says: "All agricul tural and business ceinelitions in the west warrant the highest hopes for the rail roads for the current year. That gross earnings on nearly all lines will show handsome increases may be conceeled. "There is great danger that net earnings will not fairly reflect the impren-ed condi tiems in the country. Labor is -msettleel and its eiemands tire imperative. The rail roads have received fair warning that or ganized railror.el labor wiii demand a rtr pendicular advance in wages this tall. I.irtie count is taken of tile fact tift in various departments of the roaels advances have already been made. No ace-ount at all apparently is taken of the other fact that in hard times the railrotids paid their iabeir "I've Lest Ten pose&s" A man says. "Look at this." And he over-laps his coat to show how loose it is. There are some people who can lose fat to advantage, but the loss of flesh is one of the accepted evidences of failing health. As flesh-making processes begin in the stomach, so naturally when there is loss of flesh we look first to the stomach for the cause. And the cause is gen erally found to be disease of the stomach and di gestive and nutri tive tracts, result ing in loss of nu trition and conse q u e n t physical weakness. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery restores the lost flesh by curing diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nu trition and ena bling the perfect digestion and as similation of food from which flesh and strength are made. "My wife was for five years troubled with indigestion of stomach and bowels, bloating and severe pain at times during I r. .i3f.il! mm. IMS the entire five years." writes Mr. T.

The demand will be practically for a per cent increase over the existing scale, and will be accompanied by a threat of a general strike unless tht demand is met. I do not believe that there will be a strike. I think there will be a settlement, but our net earnings next year will show very clearly the eftect of the movement low beginning." $10,000 PER ACRE. Rock Island Buys Another Vacant Tract in Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 6. The Chicago, Rock Is land and Pacific has increased its real es tate possessions in South Chicago by the purchase from Mrs. Sarah J. Howard cf 14 acres on tne Calumet river and One Hundred and Sixth and One Hundred and Eighth streets for $130,000. r or some years the company has owned fcrty acres at that place and about a year ago erected a large warehouse for the interchange of freighc with lake trans portation lines, which it has been using with success during the past season.

East Atlanta, Ga., March, 1, 1901. Dr. Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. T.: Gentlemen While it has never been my habit or Inclination to recommend remedies the ingredients of which are not all known to me, it seems as if I should make an exception in the case or Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.

For desperate cases of kidney complaint under treatment with unsat isfactory results I turn to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Rot with most flattering results. I shall continue to prescribe it, and from personal observation state that Swamp-Root has great curative properties. Truly yours, L. Barstow Irish, M. 1.) 2TG 9th St.. Borough Brooklyn, V. Sept. 24, 1901.

Mkt. 5 TILL LEASED "WIST! BSP0RT OF TE3 ASSOCIATES PBES3. The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for exclusive afternoon publica tion in Topeka. The news Is received In the Ft ate Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, busv through the entire day. A complete copy ot the night report is also received. Uncle Horace Boles didn't find it as easy sieddlng as he expected. The plum crop in Pennsylvania ap pears to have been fairly good this year. The automobile as an adjunct o a successful campaign has proven to be a failure. The results of Tuesday's election show that the independent voter has not yet eone out of business. The election Tuesday was not wholly devoid of surprises. Probably few per sons were expecting Rhode Island to go liemocratic. Uncle John Wanamaker can now pro ceed with the establishment of his Lon don store unhampered by any politicai engagements. This was no off year as regards the administration. It received as much of an endorsement as could be reasonably expected by its warmest friends. Unusually heavy Kepublican majority In Ohio may be partly due to the Ina bility of Tom Johnson to induce John R. McLean to come out and fight him. Anybody in Kansas who is disap pointed by the result of the election can attribute it to the new ballot law, which resulted in so many spoiled ballots. Massachusetts has polled 34.000 Social ist vote3. If this had happened in Kan sas, all Jayhawkers would again be classed as crr.nks as thev were in the early nineties. The president didn't need any en dorsement at the polls, but if he likes to regard Tuesday's vote as a compli ment to his administration probably no body will object. The regard in which the people of the country hold President Roosevelt should be prized by him more highly than the presidency, and probably is. He was a tower of strength to his party this year. Colorado Republicans are reported to be planning the organization of a "rump" legislature. If they do so they may want to borrow our Gen. Hughes and the famous Douglas sledge ham mer. The labor unions n San Francisco have again shown their power, this time by electing a congressman, defeating Mr. Loud, the Republican member who has been so prominently identified in the past with legislation pertaining to the postal service. Orover Cleveland's appeal to the New Jersey voters on behalf of his friend Flannigan appears to have fallen upon deaf ears. Mr. Cleveland may as well make up his mind to accept without complaint a place among the political back numbers. A LOOK BACKWARD. The election is over and enough is known of the result to make it clear that there has been no change of great importance in the general political situ ation. All those Democrats who have been regarded as aspirants for national lead ership of the party have seen their re spective states go against them. Bryan. Hill. Coler, Pattison, Cleveland, Tom Johnson, Carter HarrlBon are all in the Fame boat. Defeat is so general and decisive that it may prove beneficial to the organization by uniting the hitherto warring factions throughout the coun try, and bringing to the front a new chieftain. If any man among those mentioned above had been able to pull his state out of the Republican column, harmony probably might have been as far off as ever. It looks now as though party peace and any important success could only come, if at all, through new lead ership. Out of the halls of congress may come the Democratic chieftain of 1904 as did Mr. Bryan. Meantime the G. O. P. will continue to do business at the old stand. JAYHAWKER JOTS. Sunrise marriages are the latest Fort Scott fad. Miss Helen Gould has shipped a $1,000 Aeolian harp to the Coffeyville Y. M. C. A. Speaking of a lively outlook for the winter a Coffeyville citizen will feed 275 mules. A colony of Old Virginians have bought a J00 acre ranch near Chetopa. They paid $13,000 cash. One Coffey county citizen boasts of hav Ing voted 48 years consecutively in the same precinct. A heavy rain on Ottawa's streets made election day a red letter event in the lives of the hackmc-n. It seems surprising but it is announced that there is a "wildcat company" Mill in existence at McPherson. A hunter created interest at Wellington riding up the street with a large dead wolf fastened, to his saddle. If salt will save Gypsum will be among the elect. Another well is over 1.000 feet underground and still going south. Hereafter Coffeyville boys "hopping trains under headway" will be sent to Jail providing there is enough left of them. Pecan trees planted eighteen years ago on a Butler county farm are full of nuts this year. It's a picnic for the squirrels. A young man sent to Baldwin to eradi cate a tendency towards cigarette and carmine cuffs has wound up as a lunch counter waiter. Notes sent from a Coffey county school district to the Jeffersonlan says: "The music of the thrashing machine is heard again in the land." It's a Ions lane that has no turning. Editor Anthony has probably succeeded in defeating two Curtis representatives in Leavenworth county. Two Leavenworth students at Ann Arbor are on the football team. When there's a scrap on a Leavenworth man is generally around. The Abilene Reflector says election day was chilly. And this was before reading the legislative result, too. But perhaps they read between the lines. The sole election fight at Concordia was between a bulldog and a foreigner. As neither could be understood it is not known what the fuss was over. Sometimes the fates are kind to a man. For three days prior to election a Saline county Democratic candidate was con fined to his bed with rheumatism. A Salina woman has gained prominence by her brand of corn husk dolls. In the last seven years she has sold thousands, many of which were sent to Europe. A conductor running out of El Dorado emptied a Rack containing 19 catrs on the platform of the rear car. Although the train was going near a mile a minute ev ery feline lit upon lt3 feet. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Here's one difference between them: A woman thinks that to keep a lamp burning for an absent one is pretty sentiment; a man believes it is a terri ble waste of oil. When you see a bow-legged child, you are gaying upon one that was usurped of its rights and turned out to care for itself by the arrival of another baby at least a year too soon. If a boy is good enough to help his mother with the dishes, she should re ciprocate and raise no objection if he shuts the doors and pulls down the cur tains while engaged in doing it. When it is known at a funeral that the deceased picked out the hymns and arranged the programme in advance, the women present find the occasion fo sweetly sad as to be almost enjoyable. An Atchison bride told her husband he worked too hard. All brides do this, by the way, but this bride's husband believed it, resigned his job, and now she is supporting him by taking in washing. It is a good plan not to carry compliments too far. Notice is served on the Young Things who send a ball of yarn out into the street, who walk down stairs back wards, and who keep the neighbors awake till midnight screaming over oth er charms, that history doesn't reveal than any woman ever got a husband the Halloween way. At this season of the year it must oc cur to every politician that it is a bless ing the women have never been granted the full rights of suffrage; they know when down town till midnight that at least some one is home with the babies. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Irrigation Rights. San Francisco Call. An interesting contest is now going on between the states of Kansas and Col orado over water rights in the Arkansas river. The river flows through Colorado nto Kansas. Colorado asserts her right to use the water for irrigation. Kansas asserts riparian rights and demands that Colorado permit the water to flow uninterrupted and undiminished past her arid lands to the lands of Kansas. Kansas filed a complaint against Col orado and Colorado filed a demurrer, which has recently been overruled, and now the case is to come up on Its mer its. The Denver Republican quotes the attorney general of Colorado as saying that his state would assert a new prin ciple of law and seek to uphold It on the ground of public necessity. The Re publican goes on to say: "The answer follows the overruling of the demurrer filed by Colorado to the comnlaint filed by the state of Kansas. The answer- re views the whole history of irrigation, but makes its chief point on the asser tion that the right to Irrigate takes pre cedence over the ancient riparian right. It asserts that little of the water of the Arkansas naturally reaches Kansas. On the contrary, it asserts, irrigation is really a help to Colorado's eastern neighbor, as the water taken from the river by farmers seeps back into the river again and carries farther than it naturally would. The desert land act and numerous other acts of congress, including the irrigation act of the pres ent year, are cited in support of the state's contention." The doctrine that water once used for Irrigation will seep back into its origi nal river bed with such force as to carry farther than it would have done had it been left to flow naturally is one that Colorado w ill probably have a good deal of difficulty in proving. It is one of the statements that are classed as "interest ing if true." That, however, is a minor point. The feature of interest a'nd of importance in the case is the contention of Colorado that irrigation rights are superior to riparian rights. That ques tion affects the whole of the arid west. Upon its rightful solution depends the welfare of thousands today and many millions of that future day when the practice of a comprehensive system of irrigation shall have redeemed from the desert the broad acres that are now un titled. It is not to be expected the solution will be easy. The case is one in which the courts will have to choose between contestants each of whom has some thing of right and reason on his side. The water rights of riparian owners have long been solidly embedded in our law. Now come the irrigationists and in the name of public welfare declare the need of adopting a new principle. It is another illustration of the old truth that a law which may be just and fair in one country would work harm in an other. It is to be hoped the case as pre sented between Kansas and Colorado will be sufficiently broad to determine the whole complex issue, so that there need be no further litigation on the sub ject, for the demand of irrigation is pressing and it is time that all law points concerning it be definitely set tled. Emulating Roosevelt. Pittsburg Dispatch: Whatever may be thought of compul sory arbitration as a possible solution of the labor problem it must be admitted that the circumstances surrounding the appointment of the anthracite coal strike commission by President Roose velt are calculated to direct renewed at tention to that subaert. The decision of the French premier to adopt a similar method when confronted with an alaeous conditions in the French min ing industry, with apparently every hope of success, naturally suggests an inquiry why so potent in influence in securing arbitration should not be in variably invoked. Compulsory arbltra- tinn would be the logical sequence. In a measure the present arbitration in the anthracite case was compulsory. It was at least compelled by the power of public necessity. In the French case it may be assumed that the government is using more direct pressure, so that in each instance there can be no question that the agreement to arbitrate was im pelled by outside Influences. If the principle can be thus successful in two cases why not in all? If it can prevent the prolongation of a dispute to the in jury of the public why can it not be used to prevent the inception of such injury? Why is it not possible to arbi trate without cessation of operation in the first place? The anthracite workers have returned to work pending a settle ment and it may be presumed that a similar ccurse will be followed in France. Voluntary arbitration was tried by the Hanna committee without success. Would compulsory arbitration have also failed? POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. It is up to the bookkeeper to keep posted. There is little warmth in the mitten handed to a rejected lover. It is easier to apologize to a big man than it is to a little one. If you can't marry dollars the next best thing is to marry sense. Many a man's downfall can be traced to the loss of his balance in a bank. Cars are often loaded, but the engine sticks to water and does all the work. The sword swallower should tackle a saw occasionally; it would be more tooth some. Some men know so much that their knowledge gets in their way when they attempt to talk. Consistency is said to be a jewel.; yet paste diamonds are not jewels, although paste is noted for its consistency. It is all right for a fast horse to attempt to lower his record, but when a man at tempts a similar feat it is all wrong. "DON'T KNOW," SAID LOW. Rock Island's Man Maintains Reputa tion as Man of Few Words. Kansas City, Nov. 6. M. A. Low, gen eral counsel, and H. S. Cable, superin tendent of the lines west of the Missouri river of the Chicago, Rock Island rt"a cific railroad, were in Kansas City last night. They will be in St. Louis today for the purpose of attending a meeting of the officers of the Kansas City-St. Louis line of the Rock Island system, now building. Mr. Low was seen at the Hotel Balti more last night and he sustained his well earned reputation as a man of few w rf?3. "Has the Rock Island secured any en trance into Kansas City for the St. Louis line?" asked the reporter. "Don't know," said Mr. Low. "Is it true that the Rock Island has acquired an abandoned right of way from Cameron to Kansas City, and that it will come into Kansas City over that old right of way?" "Don't know," was the characteristic reply. And this was Mr. Low's invariable re ply to a dozen questions concerning the Rock Island railroad. FOR ENGLISH COAL FIELDS. Report That Americans Are Seeking Control Causes Excitement. London, Nov. 6. The report that J. Pierpont Morgan is trying to purchase the North Staffordshire coal fields and that the companies are not averse to making a deal with him has caused a sensation at Stoke-on-Trent. It is stated that the agreement has already been drawn uo and will be signed by the mine owners on Wednesday next, when they will meet Mr. Morgan's agent at Stoke-on-Trent. The terms are said to be very favorable. About 24,000 men are employed in the pits, and the output for 1901 was 6,372.903 tons. Local manufacturers are greatly con cerned over the probable result of the deal, as it is stated it may be prelimi nary to the capture of tne local pottery industry by the Morgan interest. On the other hand it is said that Mr. Mor gan is not interested in the movement for the- purchase of the coal fields, and that the negotiations are being conduct ed in behalf of a London syndicate. HAVE ROBBERS AT BAY. Posse After the Three Bank Burglars of Richards, Near Fort Scott. Fort Scott. Kas., Nov. 6. The officers and a posse of citizens have surrounded a piece of timber land a few miles north east of this city, almost certain that they have the three Richards, Mo., bank robbers in their meshes. The men evi dently planned to make their escape on a Frisco train for Kansas City, but k happened that that road was completely blocked here by a wreck and they could not get out. This afternoon they were seen to approach the railroad track and then vanish into the woods again. NEW SKIN GRAFTED ON. Successful Operation on a Large Scale in Stamford. Stamford, Conn., Nov. 6. Dr. T. J. Biggs, of this city, performed a very successful skin grating operation on Holly Seeley, a wealthy man. Tat grafting was made necessary by an erysipelas sore of two or three years' standing. The surface covered by the new skin extended from Mr. Seeley's hip to his ankle, and averaged two and three quarter inches in width. The patient Is doing well. SAW HER CHILD BURNED. Frantic Mother Unable to Save Son from Oil Soaked Bed. Sunbury, Pa., Nov. 6. An oil stove ex ploded at the home of Deputy Prothono- tary T. J. Donlan, in this place, this af ternoon, and ignited the featherbed in which Edwin, the 3-year-old son, was sleeping. The child was burned to a crisp in full view of his mother, who was" badly burn ed in a heroic effort to rescue the sleeping lad. Dug TJp His Father's Corpse. Vienna, Nov. 6. An extraordinary in stance of the superstition that is so prevalent among the peasantry of Hungary is reported from the village of Gross Zorlenez, near Reschitz. The house of a widow named Pova had been stoned repeatedly and the police were unable to discover the culprit. The widow's young son. becoming possessed of the idea that his father rose from his grave nightly and bombarded his former home, went to the cemetery, dug up the corpse, dragged it nearly a mile and burned it. The boy was arrested. Lad rones Are Troublesome. Washington, Nov. 6. Manila newspa pers received at the -war department state that the ladrones are making more trouble than ever before in the Philippines. They occasionally dress as constabulary officers and prey upon de fenseless natives. The paper says that all bona fide insurgents have returned to ways of peace and are maintaining at lesst a semblance of a lawabiding career. To remedy the evils the con stabulary is to be increased to such an extent that the lawless bands may be hunted down. ELECTION ECHOES. Only Democrat Elected on Colo rado Ticket Was a Woman. Providence, R. I., Nov. 6. A recount in the city of Woonsocket has displaced three Democratic members of the gen eral assembly originally announced as elected and substituted the Republican candidates. This gives the Republicans a plurality of four in the house, which now stands 38 Republicans and 34 Dem ocrats. The senate is Republican by 28 members out of 37. Concord, N. H., Nov. 6. With only ten towns missing, New Hampshire's vote for governor is: Bachelder, Republican, 41,057; Hollis, Democrat, 33,567; scatter ing, 1,698. Reckoning the percentage of Democratic gain in the missing towns to have been the same as in the towns heard from, Bachelder's plurality In the whole state will be 7,758. Denver, Nov. 6. Revised returns show that one candidate on the Democratic tate ticket was successful, Mrs. Helen L. Grenfell being re-elected superin tendent of public instruction by a plu rality of 2,400. WH ITE TO J. M. MILLER. Emporia Editor Discusses the Result in Lyon County. Lyon county gave Congressman Miller a big vote, notwithstanding the fight that waa made there on his renomlnation. Af ter he was renominated his opponents turned in and supported him so loyallv that he led the ticket there. Some of hia friends, however, knifed the .Republican candidates for the legislature, defeating Harris. -because they were not tor Curtis for senator. This brought out the follow ing from W. A. White in the L-mpoi-ja Ga zette: "To J. M. Miller, Council Grove: "It's ell right to stand by your friends, but when your friends tail to stand by you and dis grace you in a county before the whole state, it's just as weil to get some new friends. Miller got a Republican vote in this county and practically led his ticket. The men who fought him in the conven tion turned out and gave him loyal sup port. Miller's friends who were beaten In the county convention knifed the Repub lican ticket and defeated the Kepublican candidates for the legislature. The elec tion returns show that the ticket in this county was defeated in precincts where Miller has his warmest friends. Certainly he iried hard to control them. But thuy would not be controlled. They bolted th.? county ticket because they were beaten at the primaries. The anti-Miller men were beaten at the Miller primaries, but they stood by Miller and all the ticket. It Is not too late for Miller to make pome new friends in Lyon county and keep such of his old ones who were loyal to the ticket. But the way to begin is to come down Commercial street when he comes to Emporia and shake hands with all the fellows instead of two or three. Miller knows who fought the ticket, and he knows w.ho of his friends supported it. I he Keriuoncans hear no ill wilt toward Miller, but they win- not like it if he con tinues to honor bolters." BRISTOW IS GLAD. Goes Back to Washington With a Light Heart. Joseph L. Eristow, fourth assistant postmaster general, left this afternoon on his return to Washing. He has been spending several days-around the Republican 'heardqTiarters! "The result in Kansas is very gratify ing," he said, "dh.d I am yjad that Kan sas swings -into line with -,solid Repub lican delegation. The people of the country are ready to stand by Republi can policies. We have again elected both branches of congress and we have had them since 1S94. This will make ten years that the. Republicans have been in control of both the house and United States senate. Did it ever hap pen before that one party kept control of congress for that long? It has not happened before since the war, and 1 don't remember whether it did before that or not. It shows that the people stand by Republican policies." MR. CRADD0CK TALKS Says Fusionists Were Handicapped by Lack of Money. W. H. Craddock, defeated Democratic candidate for governor, has already gone back to his real estate business and again assumed the duties of mayor of Kansas City, Kas. Concerning the result of the election he said: "I am greatly disappointed that I did not carry Wyandotte county. I was not so much surprised at losing the state, but I did think the county was safe. I am convinced that you can't conduct a political campaign without money. Lack of finances was ur greatest barrier to success. I believe we could have won had we been able to cope with the op position on the financial proposition. "But I am heartily glad it is all over. Tomorrow I intend to visit my real es tate office and see what it looks like. I have neglected my business for th? last two months and I don't know where I stand. "While I am defeated. I want to say that I stand now just where I have a' ways stood for the people as against the trusts and the corporations. The taxation issue !s a live one and it is bound to win." Reciprocity Treaty Extended. Washington, Nov. 6. The Danish minis ter, Mr. Bruen, called at the state de partment today and with Secretary Hay, signed an additional article to the reci procity treaty relative to the Danish West Indian island of St. Croix, extending for one year from November 19, the period of time allowed for the ratification of the document.. Bridal Party from Mexico, New York. Nov. 6. A fashionable gathering witnessed the wedding at St. Patrick's cathedral in this city of Mer cedes, daughter of the wealthy Mexican railroad man, Rodolfo G. Canton, and Fernando Garcia, of this city.

The retired professors will serve as special lecturers in their respective de- partments for a period of five years. The salary for the first year will be that re ceived at the time of retirement. After that $1,500 per year. TAX HASN'T BEEN CHANGED Assessment for Second and Third Street Opening Still on Rolls. Owing to the fact that County Treas urer Philips refuses to take from the tax rolls the special assessment against property taxed to open Second and Third streets, which assessment was "knocked out" by the district court, it may be necessary to have a special meeting of the city council Friday afternoon- Mr. Philips' position )s that he has no authority, under the order of the court, to relieve the people in this district from paying the tax assessed unless ordered to do so by the city council. Further more, Mr. Philips is said to want the city council to arrange to pay over to the county a sufficient sum to cover the expense of taking the assessment off the rolls. It is probably this little matter which is really delaying the transaction. Several members of the city council ex pressed the opinion this morning that as far as authority is concerned, the order of the district court stopping the col lection of the tax is sufficient authority for the treasurer. There are cuite a number of people coming to the office of the county treas urer now to pay taxes, and some of them are residents of the benefit dis trict in question. When they find out that they are still assessed for $5 a lot to open streets they usually get indig nant and want to know why the order of the district court has not been complied with. These people of course refuse tu pay their tax until the erroneous assess ment is corrected.

It Appeared at "A Chinese Honey moon" Rehearsal in New York. Kfw York Nov. 6. Persons passing along Broadway near the Casino yester day afternoon were astonished to see forty or fifty chorus girls rushing out in the brilliant sunshine from the stage door, screaming "Catch it! O, do catch it!' The cause of the disturbance was a tiny monkey which was loose on the stage. The daily rehearsal of "A Chinese Honeymoon' was being held, when Amelia Stone, one of the principals, shrieked and tied toward the dressing rooms. In a mo ment the other women of the company were falling over each other getting into dressing rooms and down the street stairs. The stage cleared, it was seen that a monkey was the cause of the flight. Gerald Coventry, the stage manager, and Wil liam pruette captured it and triumphant ly announced the danger was over. Then the women returned pjid hastened to feed the little beast. Late in the afternoon it was contentedly munching candy, peanuts, crackers, olives, bird seed, and bananas. TREE 214 TEAKS OLD CUT.

The main body of the trunk was 65 feet high and it was more than 50 feet to the lowest limb from the ground. The diameter at the stump was 64 inches and the diameter at 65 feet was 4S inches. It Is estimated to contain 9,000 feet of sawed lumber, which at $20 per 1.000 feet would make its value on the stump $180. In addition there are about four cords of wood in the branches.

Emerson, late Prohibition candidate for governor of Kansas, haa accepted a position as lecturer for the Prohibition national committee anil will leave Topeka Saturday with his family and goods for Bethany, a suburb of Lincoln, Neb., where his wife and chil dren will remain during the winter while he is touring the country. His title will be national lecturer and wrn ww$ Rev. F. W. Emerson, Recent Prohibition Candidate for Governor, Who Will Leave Kansas. organizer: and the duties which he will jci form will be to lecture at joints arranged beforehand by the national committee and after each lecture he will organize a local alliance. His headquar ters will be at lulS Manhattan building, Chicago. "I shall take my family to Lincoln where my wife's relatives live," said he. and then I go east to take up the work of national lecturer and organizer. Thorp are about six or seven of these lecturers and organizers being put out hv the national committee, but in the nurse of time the number will be in creased to fifteen or twenty. The plan is to keep up this campaign continuous- iv and to strengthen ourselves all the time. My dates already are being fixed up by the committee and I plan to spend the winter in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsyl vania and other states where Chairman Oliver V. Stewart sends me. Later in the season I expect to be sent west to thf Pacific coast. 'We are going to keen up this ngnt. I feel that the prohibition question is one that must be taken un and solved the same as the tariff or anv other great proposition. I think, too, that the matter is being brought to a head, l do not feel sore, of course, at defeat in this election, but I received I think up wards of 15.000 votes which I expected. The indications in Kansas are, it seems to mc, that the matter of law enforce, ment is to be brought up until it will be settled right. There is only one way to get at this thing, however, and tha is to attack it from a notional stand point. The doctrine of states' rights was exploded long ago and the correct way to reach the thing is through the government." "Will you discuss the result insShaw nee county?" "Yes. I will say something about the campaign in Shawnee county. "Certainly I should have liked to see Stahl and Stebbins elected, but in my opinion their defeat was due to those who were with them. They were sup ported by excellent people, but I want to tell you it was the inconsislencr of the thing that put people against them. The idea of people refusing to support two candidates on a ticket when all of the other candidates stand on the same platform as those to whom they object, seems absurd to me. Why should a man bolt a part of a ticket when he knows that the rest of it has been nominated upon the earne platform as those whom he has rejected? So I say again it was inconsistency which caused the defeat of the Independents in this county. I do not believe as Dr. Mc Farland said that the signifieance of the defeat of the Independents is thft the Topeka people want the saloons, but that they saw this inconsistency and re fused to be led off by it. "In iny orinion, too, they made a-5 mistake in holding a prayer meeting ail .day when they could have done much to influence the election in favor of their candidates, if they I'.ad only got out and worked. The ladies could not vote at the election, but they could have gone out and gotten men to vote. Of course I believe in prayer, but you must get out and work too. 'God helps those that help themselves' is an old saying but true." Mr. Emerson here illustrated his point by telling the story of an old Scotch man who. with a young seaman was caught out in a storm on the water, in a boat. The younger man wanted to use some other means besides that of the oars in seeking safety; but the Scotchman insisted that the only way was to "pull." "Now there is another thing I condemn," Mr. Emerron continued. "That is this: While I like Dr. McFarland very much. I think be makes a great mistake in flay ing Mr. Parker and the city administra tion of Topeka and at the same time al lowing Stanley and the state administra tion, greater sinners, to go untouched. Maybe Parker has not done just the right thing; but how little is he to blame when conpared with rjovernor Stanley and the utate administration. Everybody knows just what policy Mr. Stanley has pur sued as governor and it is upon that policy that he Is to stand as a candidate for X'nited States senator and in my opinion is going to be a strong factor." Lieut. Emmons' Report on Alaskan Boundary Monuments. Washington. Nov. 6. Lieut. George T. Emmons. U. S. N., retired, has made to the secretary of state his report upon the results of his investigation along the Alaskan boundary of certain stories which have found frequent repetition in late years to the effect that monuments have been discovered marking the real boundary line between Alaska and the British Northwest territory at a point many leagues further from the sea than the British have been willing to admit. Lieut. Emmons was selected for the work of incuiry because he was thor oughly familiar with the country in which the supposed boundary stones exist. He spent much of the past sum mer in the region, and now has reached a conclusion. The state department at this time will not make the report pub lic. The inquiry is regarded as but one chapter in a long series of investigations which have been going on for the past ten years under the auspices of the state department. It is said that the depart ment has investigated promptly every rumor bearing on the existence of boun dary monuments which presented the least appearance of plausibility. Lieut. Emmons declares that he has not breathed a word of the nature of his conclusions to any one except the offi cials here in Washington. Still it is re garded as a fair conjecture that he haa not found the stones reported to exist to be boundary monuments, else the state department would regard it as in cumbent on it to take steps to bring that fact to the attention of the British gov ernment with a view to securing rectifi cation of the present temporary boun dary. Instead of doing this, the report has been referred to ex-Secretary John W. Foster and Senator Fairbanks for their information. They are members of the high joint commission which was charged with the settlement of the Alaskan boundary question, among many other important matters. GIFT TO JOHNS HOPKINS. Income of $25,000 to Reward Foreign Medical Lecturers. Baltimore. Nov. 6. The trustees of Johns Hopkins university have accepted the offer of Dr. and Mrs. Christian A. Herter, of New York, to give $25,000 foi the foundation of a memorial lecture ship in the medical department, "de signed to promote a more intimate knowledge of the researches of foreign investigators in the realm of medical science." This end is to be secured by inviting each year some eminent worker in physiology or pathology to deliver one or more lectures at the university upon a subject with which he has been identified.

He has for several years held the professorship of patho logical chemistry in the university and Kellevue Hospital Medical college in New York. TAUT OF BRAIN GONE. Doctors Say California Boy Will Soon Be Able to Flay Again. San Francisco, Nov. 6. With part of his brain gone, George Parsons, an 8-year-old San Leandio boy. who was kicked in the head a week ago, still lives. The doctors who atterded him deem his case one of the most remarkable in medical science. At first they were hopeless of his recovery, because his skull was crushed and a large area of brain matter disturbed. They removed several spoonfuls of the destroyed brain and pieces of the skull that had lodged there, and closed the cavity with a sil ver plate. The operation was performed while the boy was perfectly conscious. He did not seem to feel the pain at all. He has been getting along so well since the treatment that the doctors say he will soon be at play with his friends. GOES OVER 10 DAI'S. The Vinewood-City Railway Case Is Postponed.

When Nathaniel Wilson, a glass worker of this city, leads Miss Kathryn Overmeyer of Gas City to the altar November 7 he will complete a pretty little romance, and at the same time get a lovely wife, who cost him only $4.75. A week ago the Christian Endeavor so ciety of the Presbyterian church of Jones boro held an auction sale of girls at the home of Mrs. Frank Pierce. Real live girls, reveling in all the glorious charms of womanhood, were sold to the highest bidder. While the purchase of a fair charmer did not insure the buyer a part ner for lifj, yet- Nathaniel Wilson pur chased Miss Kathryn Overmeyer, and yesterday their engagement was an nounced. During the sale a large white sheet was stretched across the end of a room, and the young woman to be sold was placed so that her shadow could ber traced on the cloth. When Miss Overmeyer was being sold there was a lively rivalry between him and a young man from Fairmont. The latter had bid $4.50, all the cash he had with him. Wilson went hi:n 25 cents better.

There's no telling how many more of his marches will be heard, for it's only a question of encores. "Stars and Stripes "orever" Is sure to be given. Two other Sousa compositions, a suite, "Looking Upward," and a mosaic founded upon famous waltz themeB are on the regular programme.

This has been especially arranged because of the immense Hag dec oration recently placed on the Auditorium stage. The bandmen will stand and play "The Star Spangled Banner." By switch ing on the electric lights representing stars in the flag a spectacular touch will be given. It is believed this will bp a proper salute to the flag from the first band playing in the hall since the decora tion was put in place.

He was called back so much that one newspaper said he played everything is only one in Topeka. he knew.

TTK IT" TTV THE OTHER MA His Rights and What Is "Due Him Pointed Out By President Roosevelt in His Speech at Philadelphia. HE ADDRESSED MASONS On the Anniversary of George Washington's Apprenticeship. Family Returns to the White House for the Winter. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 0. President Roosevelt was the principal guest at the sesquicentennial anniversary celebration by the grand lodge of Free and Accept ed Masons of Pennsylvania, of George Washington's apprenticeship into the Masonic fraternity. The president was the orator of the occasion. The celebration was exclu sive, being limited to one representative from each subordinate lodge in this state, together with the members of the grand lodge and its committees. Presi dent Roosevelt said in p-rt: "'It teems to me that that which this country needs more than everything else is not to preach only but to prac tice the virtues we try to realize through Masonry and to show to the memory of the greatest Mason that ever lived Washington the homage of deeds, not merely words. "One of the things that attracted me so greatly to Masonry that I hailed the chance of becoming a Mason was that it really did live up to what we as a government are pledged to of treating each man on his merits and as a man. When Brother George went into a lodge of a fraternity he went into the one place in the United States where he stood below or above his fellows ac cording to the official position in the lodge. He went into the one place in the United States where the idea of our government was realized as far as it is humanely possible for mankind to real ize a lofty ideal. And I know that you will net only understand me, but sym pathize with me. when I say that, great though my pleasure is in meeting you here, as your guest in this beautiful temple and in meeting such a body of men as this that I am now addressing I think my pleasure would be even greater in going into some little lodge where I meet the plain, hard working men men who work with their hands and meet them on a footing of genuine equality, not false equality, depending on each man to be a decent man and fair dealing Mason. "Each one of us naturally is interest ed especially in life as he sees it from his own standpoint. Each one of us that is worth his salt is trying to do his share in working out the problems that are before all of us now at the begin ning of the twentieth century and so does any man in public life, whatever his position be. If he is interested at heart he has the desire to do some kind of substantial service for his country. He must realize that the indispensable prerequisite of success und?r our insti tutions is genuineness in the spirit of brotherhood. Masonry should maka and must make each man who conscien tiously and understanding- takes up its obligations the best type of Ameri can citizenship because Masonry teaches him his obligations to his fellows in a practical fashion. It is a good thing to read the Declaration of Independence every Fourth of July; it is a good thing to talk of what Washington and his fel lows did for us. Rut what counts most is how we live up to the lessons that we read or that we speak of the lesson of brothehood. "First and fcromost is to learn that lesson with a full henrt on the one hand and without a weik head on the other. The lesson of brotrhood that is the lesson thiJt has got to be taught and got to be learned and applied to us as a peo ple if r- a"e to solve the great indus trial and social problems of today. If we could get wage-woikrs and employ ers in any riven occupation or in any given district in a lodge together I guar antee the result. I guarantee what will harjren. Is not that true? Do vou think so? (Tries of "Yes, ves.") Ex actly, and I will ruara!fttep it. If that thing could ha men we would come al ways into the lodge, each respecting his brother and each warning to do what was good for his brother, each recog nizing that in our government every man of us has to be his brother's keep er. Masonry not only bids us and teach es us in .this direction, but maks us care for the brethren that stumble ami fall and for the wives and little ones ot those who are beaten down in the harsh battle cf life. Of all things, it does not teach us to make believe that there are not any obstacles: it does not teach us to make believe that life can somehow be made soft and easy for every one; it. can not be. For many of us life is noth ing but very bard. Each one of us who dors anything is going to have hard HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE Symptoms of a Very Common Trouble? There is no disease so common in the United States as catarrh because it ap pears in so many r-yrms anu attacks so many different organs. It is a common mistake to suppose that catarrh is confined to the nose and throat. Any inflammation of the mu cous membrane wherever located ac companied by abnormal secretions, is catarrh. Catarrh of stomach or bladder, or intestines, is nearly as common as nasal catarrh and much more serious, although it is true that stomach catarrh and catarrh of either internal organs is the result of neglected nasal catarrh. A new remedy has recently appeared which so faras tested seems to be re markably effective in promptly curing catarrh, wherever located. The prepa ration is sold by druggists generally un der the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, and in addition to being very pal atable and convenient, possesses ex traordinary merit, in many cases giv ing immediate relief from the coughing, hawking and constant clearing of the throat and head, these symptoms with which everyone is familiar wnt has ever suffered from colds in the head and throat. Catarrh is simply a continuation of these symptoms until the trouble be comes chronic and grows gradually worse irom year to year. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed of Hydrastin. Red Gum and similar antiseptics and catarrh specifics, from which it will be seen that no secret is made of the ingredients and also that no mineral poisons are used, as is the case with many well known catarrh med icines. For catarrh of the nose, throat, bron chial tubes, for catarrh of stomach, in testines or bladder no preparation is so safe and gives such rapid and perman ent results as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized package. You can use them with assurance that you will not con tract the cocaine or morphine habit as the results from this catarrh cure are apparent from the first day's use. 'o.-J? A ISillBSilli 1 DC According to Senor Don Emilio de Ojeda, Spanish envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Washington, there is jrreat demand in the count of our late enemy for American capital and enterprise. Minister de Ojeda earn estly declares that resentment against the United States has now comrlett" died out in his land. He urges our industrial caatains to turn their eyes ana capital to Spain. stretches in it; otherwise men would not do anything. If a man does not meet with difficulties, if he does not put him self in a way where he has to over come them, he would not do anything that is worthy of being done. "Masonry teaches and fosters more than the eiualities of self-respect anil self-help the Qualities that make a man fit to stand by himself and yet it must foster in every one who appreciates as it should be appreciated the beautiful and solemn ritual; it must foster in him a genuine feeling for the rights of oth ers and the feeling of others. "Masons' help for one another is free from that curse of self commendation. Help given in a spirit of arrogance does not benefit any one. Help must be giv en rationally, with a feeling of cordial good will. Now. in our life of today in our great complex industrial centers, what do we need most? We need most each to understand the other's view point; to understand that the other man is at the bottom like himself. Each of us should understand that and try to approach the subject at issue or any problem that arises with a firm determ ination, not to be weak or foolish. That is helpful to your neighbor. Weak ness and folly and timidity are not helpful to your neighbor. Timid endur ance of wrong doing may often be to commit one of the greatest evils that one possibly can commit against one fellows, but we will acknowledge that while insisting- upon that, there must be no yielding to wrong, and yet it is ever necessary to remember that you can not appreciate the rights of the case until you are able to see and un derstand how your neighbor looks at it: how he is affected by it. You take any lodge where, as is the case in our own little lodge, you see the capitalist and wage worker, men of all classes, men of every kind oi.' social position ami wealth and see them meeting together as Ma sons in the fullest sense of the word, with a feeling for one another that goes with Masonry. When one sees a lodg1; such as that: a meeting such as that, one pees how a certain small fragment of our industrial problem is to be solv ed. It is not possible to present.the idea that I would like to bring out to have all the best of all classes, represented in Masonry in every district, but it is pos sible for each of us to go out into the world, trying to apply in his dealings with his fe'kiws the lessons of Masonry us they are taught in the lodges and as they are applied in the brotherhood. And so we can practically learn from Wash ington how to deal with the problems of tod a v." RETURN TO WHITE HOUSE. -Washington, Nov. 6. President Roose velt returned lr.st night from Philadelphia where he stopped on his way from voting at Oyster Ray. Accompanying him were Mrs. Roosevelt and their two children. Archibald and Quentin, Secretaries Cortel ynu and L,otb, Dr. Lung and a number of the servants from the Sagamore Hill home. The president and his fnmily were driven to the White House, where their apartments while still incomplete have ad vanced to such an extent as to give ac commodations to meet the immediate de mands of the presidential household. The president's departure from Phila delphia for Washington was delayed by the non-arrival there on schedule time of Secretary Cortelyou and Mrs, Roosevelt, who had remained in New York after the president left to await the coming of the children and servants from Oyster Ray to Philadelphia. At Philadelphia the two special cars assigned to the use of the president's party were attached to the regular train leaving that city at 3:30 in the afternoon. It was a slow train and reached Washington thirty-five minutes behind schedule time. It was filled with travelers, and they lined up along the train shed as the presielent's party walked to their carriages and gave a cordial greeting to Mr. Roosevelt. With the de parture of the President and Mrs. Roose velt and their chilelren and servants from Oyster Ray the Sagamore Ill home of the president has been closed for the win ter. Government Controls Rice Market. Manila, Nov. 6. The Philippine com mission has quietly purchased more than S0.000 tons of rice in India and on the Asiatic coast in order to avert the rice famine which is threatening many provinces. The plans of the commission ers were concealed in order to avoid a furthiv disturbance of the Oriental mar ket and so as to prevent possible com binations with the view of raising prices. The government's stock of rice gives it control of the local market and prevents operators from charging exces sive prices. Striking Plasterers Return to Work. New York, Nov. 6. By an agreement just reached between committees, the plasterers who have been on strike all over the city since October 21, will re turn to work today at the union wage of S5 a day pending the settlement cf the points in dispute by arbitration. Both sides are pledg-ed to abide by the decision of the arbitrators who will be the members of the two committees. This action averts a threatened general sympathetic strike of 75,000 men Id the building trades. c 3 I t v. -S' FAITH CUKE IN JAPAN. A Buddhist Sect That Believes Not in Medicine but in Prayer. Faith cure as a remedy for the ills of the flesh is by no means confined to Christendom. In Japan one of the nu merous sects of the Buddhists has as its distinguishing article of faith that all human ills may be cured by prayer. This sect and its belief were the topic or discussion before a meeting of the Asiatic Society of Japan at Tokio in the latter part of March, and what was said v.: that occasion is printed in the last Transactions of the society. The gist of the addresses was to the effect that the believers are firmly con vinced that they know by experience ef many .marvels wrought by the exercise of tiieir faith. They say, therefore, not only that their faith is true, but also that they have thousands of indubitable proefs of its truth. In their form of Buddhism much less stress is laid upon a future life than upon the necessity of faith in order to secure ease, health and happiness' in the present world. The sect was founded by a man named Yanagita, born in 179S. whose character was simple and studious,'" who spent most of his lewis life invdhe service of re ligion. He died in W77. Early in his religious- worki he claimml to have at ta iied to the certain knowledge that all good things were the reward of faith. One day he met a woman named Shjmamura Mitsu who suffered from a mlMdy apparently incurable, but -was restored to health by his prayers. She became his disciple and together they carried on a regular propoganda of tnilir religion. A great temple was built at Kokura as the abiding center for the faith; and after Yanagita's death the woman went to Toliio to spread her doctrines; and in the later years f her life she wrong ly Tire tended to be the founder of the alth. The followers of this faith call them selves by a name meaning "Lotus Gate teaching." They adopted this name, as they say, because just as the lotus, rooied in mud, attains to spotless purity, so U.ose who follow the faith of the Lo.tus Gate attain to purity in the midst of an evil world. Ch.-uges of immorality an3 other evil deeds have been brought against this sect and some of them appear ti he true. The teachers of the faith fi-ou. this woman, Shimamura Mitsu, down ward have been ignorant persons, whose ignorance isi not counterbalanced by su-for-or sanctity. The sale of charms is a great source of profit to the sect. Prayer should al ways be made through a priest, and there are fixed charges for priestly in tercession. 1 he special assertion made by the 3-virsts is that diseases, whatever their nature, are healed summarily in re sponse to prayer. -4"n the ethical side the teaching of the sect is essentially the popularized Confucianism. The priests have at their tongues' end nifjny hundreds of stories of alleged miracles wrought as a result of te prayers of. the faithful. They tell, for example, cf the case of a poor lunatic iv. Osaka who was instantly cured after many years of torment to herself and wretchedness to her family. The sect is large, but in the opinion of the gentlemen who described it, there ai 3 unmistakable signs of decay. One HILL CLIMBING. Food That Makes it a Pleasure. "I have a large amount of laborious brain-fatiguing work to do," writes a. young lady from Richmond, Va. "After returning from the office, I have found myself so- completely exhausted that I was unable to engage in any recreation or amusement. I tried several expensive tonics with out effect, and finally noticing an adver tisement of Grape-Nuts as a food rec ommended to brain workers, I purchas ed a package and tried it. I found It extremely palatable, and after a week's use (two meals of it a day) I noticed a general improvement in my condition, the feeling of extreme exhaustion was growing less, and strength visibly in creased. I began to put on flesh and felt ready to ente:r into the amusements of the other members of the family, and now, arter using the food for eleven months, I am like a new person. I have abso lutely no sensation of fatigue; my brain is clear; eyes bright: skin rosy and healthy, and my muscles have strength ened to a marked degree. I am now able to walk from the office home, a distance of Zi miles, up one of the steepest hills for which our City is famous, and to engage in any amusements that may come in my way, without any sensation of extra fatigue. I am also using your Postum Food Coffee with excellent results. My sister-in-law, who lives in Norwalk.

SHE IS A WHISKY DRUMMER And, Mrs. Rueger Believes, the Only One of Her Sex in the Business. The lineman of the old joke who, perched on a 60-foot pole, boasted that however women might invade other fields of men, his job was safe, would probably have felt less security in his high calling had he heard of Mrs. H. Rueger of New York. Mrs. Rueger is a whisky drummer. The field she covers is conservative New England, and all along her route a rip ple of comment is caused by this fem inine invasion of a hitherto distinetly masculine occupation. The presence of women in barrooms is a spectacle not often witnessed in New England towns. Consequently when the woman whisky drummer fil ters, business is temporary suspended. Her calls are therefore brief and to the point, for she is the last to wish to discourage trade. Quickly she tells her story of the merits of her wares and as quickly writes down orders and leaves. From her appearance Mrs. Rueg.-.r might be the matron of an orphan asy lum. She sells whisky strictly on its merits and not by her personal charms. She dresses neatly, talks in a brisk, business-like manner and has the reputa tion of being a good fellow.

"I have never been rudelv id dressed, though they aren't used to see ing a woman in my line of business ano at first the impression is apt to be mis leading. "I walk into a saloon, hotel or club and state why I am there and put for ward the merits of my goods. The whisky dealers either buy or they don't. That closes the incident and I hurry on. for I am a busy woman. "Yes. I think I am the only woman in America who sells whisky. One dis agreeable feature of the business is that I am obliged to take from 15 to 100 drinks in a day, .iust as the men sales men have to. Otherwise selling whisky is not much different from selling any thing else." To avoid an encounter with Carrie Nation Mrs. Rueger has been forced to make changes in her route, where it intersected that of the Kansas cyclone.

When Ernest Menet, the leader of the Buckley street gang of burglars, was de tected in his second attempt to cut his way out of the Queens county iail he .de clared to Sheriff YJe Bragga that he wouldJ not remain m tne jau two nays alter ne was convicted. Last night was the second after his conviction and early in the ev ening Menet was completing his prepara tions to depart. He silent the rest cf the night in a cell, in front of which sat a deputy sheriff armed with a double bar reled shot gun, which he had instructions to use if need be. Menet will be sen tenced this morning and then taken to Sing Sing or Dannemorn. After he was convicted Menet's quarters were shifted to a cell on the top floor ot the Administration building of the jail. He was locked in an isolated cell, last even ing one of the jailers heard a scraping noise in that section and at once sum moned Sheriff De Bragga. Menet was taken from the cell and stripped. In one of his vest pockets was found a small steel chisel. It is nelieved to oe one ot tne lit tle wedges with which safe-breakers force the doors of safes. Back of the lock on the door of his cell is a steel plate into, which a slit had been cut with either the chisel or a saw which has not been found. While searching the cell for the saw the sheriff found a knife. The knife is 12 inches long and one and a quarter inches wide, with an edge like a razor and a point like a needle. He had made it from a spring of his cot and it had been finely tempered. How the tem pering was done the sheriff, who is him self an expert worker in fine steel, says be can hardly imagine. He thinks the heat ing was done by friction 'on the stone iloor and then plunging it into the slop basin. The cell has no gas which could have been used to obtain the heat. It is believed that Menet intended to pass out of the cell, as he could easily have done with the back plate split, summon 21 AfXh.-. i 1 V THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the gimes which they play and the enjoy ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without grioing, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the Old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. I you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthj and happy, do not give tnem medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles cf plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of tne little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please to remember, the full name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYR-UP the front of every pack age.

Menet admitted at his trial that he had perved three years in France for coun terfeiting. He has served time in this country us well. He is a dangerous char acter. No lock seems to puzzle him if he can have a few hours to work on it. Among criminals he is known as "The Ijocker," because of his ability to force locks. A ball of cord, evidently scraps picked up in the jail, and a piece of cloth were found in the cell. They wore to fur nish material for a handle for the knife. New York Sun. FALSE PISTACHIO NUTS. How the Demand Has Been Supplied by Various Subterfuges. What with the popularity of green ice cream and confectionery and the growth of immigration from Mediterranean countries, there has been a steady in crease in the consumption of pistachio nuts. So extensive has been the change that many merchants have yielded to the vegetable tissue. In flavor it is like a mild almond, and the chief percepti ble difference between the two lies in the color. The unscrupulous dealer blanches his almonds, crushes them anel colors them with chlorophyll or spinach green. The imitation is so close that only experts can tell the difference be tween the two. The Greeks in New York seem to have been the first to dis cover this ingenious fraud and seldom sell the pistachio paste which was once in vogue. They import and keep in stock medium quantities of pistachio nuts, which are said to be grown in Greece, the Greek archipelago and Asia Minor. These nuts are smaller than the average and are harder and dryer. The Armenians use a larger size which is said to come from their own country, Syria and Persia. To an American palate the nuts are not very agreeable. They are a trifle too hard, and suggest biting on a piece of wood rather than any nutritious kernel. Both Greeks and Aremenians employ them for a variety of purposes. In nearly all cases the nuts are hulled, scalded and skinned. The kernel is then crushed dry or broken and softened by hot water. It may be boiled into a soft substance, a trifle harder than 'a baked potato, or it may be roasted, although the operation gives it a burned and not altogether enjoyable taste.

"Those stairs will be the death of mo yet." You have heard the expression of such sentiment, if, indeed, you have not ;felt the probability1 of the same unvoice J prophecy. Girls complain to me of backache, and quickly say: "You know I have to go up and down stairs so much this year." Tha flights to which they refer are in a town hall the steps are high and the flights are long yet some can climb them several times a day and not have a grumbling back or any other uncomfortable result. The secret lies in the way to do it. A girl is putting a severe strain on her back when she goes up rrtairs usin? a heavy, flat-footed tramp. She is uncom fortable, a heavy step jars her spine and head, and to make the ordeal as nhort as possible she hurries and possibly runs. Naturally the body remonstrates such unjust treatment. I have watched carefully th mann-T which most people adopt, and think that you will agree that this is a vpt- corn mo a spectacle. One woman I frequently se as cending stairs bans so far over that whn she turr's the spiral she invariably puts hr hands on the upper stairs. Try another way if you want to fel all the exhilaration and buoyan?v of an ex cellent t xercise. Keep the weight well ovjr the advanced foot. with the chest the farthest point forward. To strike only the ball of the foot on the stairs gives buoy ancy of step to most people, although some claim they can place the whole foot lightly on the stairs to good advantage. B? sure and take your time. Remember you are lifting the weight of your :ody many times, and it is no light exercise. The work the back has to do ought to be no greater going upstairs correctly than when on a level. The legs are the mem bers of your bodily community which ought to perform that service for you. I have known medical authorities to rec ommend walking upstairs correctly as good exercise for reducting the abdomen and relieving indigestion. Therefore the commonly conceived bug bear of some housekeepers may become a boon. They ought to reach the top of the stars exhilarated, fueling the glow of healthful exercise.

The latest re turns show that the Renublieans. in cluding in this description the fusionists elected from the Pittsburg-Allegheny districts in Pennsylvania, will control the next house by a vote of 206 to 178 Democrats, with one c'istriot, the Eighth Tennessee, and two California districts remaining so much in doubt that t-ae ofticial returns will be needed to decide the result. The totals given are be lieved to be correct, although there are a ffcw districts, such as two in Colo rado and one in Minnesota, where the Republican and Democrat party man agers respectively do not concede de feat, but the general result could not be affected even should their claims prove well founded.

Orange, Texas, Indulges in the Customer Past Time. Orange, Tex., Nov. 6. Jeff Chenault. City Marshal Jordan and Tony Jones were killed in a shooting affray here. Bad blood is said to have existed be tween Chenault and Will Harris, a well known young man for sometime. Today the two met and after a war of words, Harris secured a double barrelled shot gun and killed Chenault. Harris ran to escape the fire of Chenault's brother, but was apprehended by City Marshal Jordan, who was close at hand. While the officer was conducting young Har ris to jail he was shot and killed and his prisoner escaped. It is not known who killed Jordan, although there were a large number of people on the street at the time of the tragedy. Will Harris was later arrested and rlaced in jail.. At this juncture his .brother. James Harris, started for a nearbv store, de claring that he would procure a weapon and take part in the affair. It is al leged that Tony Jones handed Harris a gun after which the former jumped into a buggy, and as he was driving away officers appeared on the scene and open ed fire on Jones, inflicting wounds from which he died a few moments later.

Chicago Housewives' Solution of Ser vant Girl Problem. Chicago, Nov. 6. The latest suggestion for the solution of the servant girl prob lem is embodied in a plan that has just been adopted at a meeting of the Chicago Housewives' association. Ac cording to this plan serving maids may hereafter be obliged to hold diplomas issued by the' association in order to se cure positions in the homes of -members of the organization. The rules regulating the granting of the diplomas are to be definite. The formal testimonials will be granted to a maid only after she has been in one family for a year and has performed her duties w;ith a certain degree of proficiency. Real parchment will be used and the holders will be described as "satisfactory," "good." or "remarkably efficient." Graduate "cooks," ''waiting maids," "ladies' maids," and "laundresses" will be classed as household servants. SENT TO CHICAGO. Thousands of Books Printed by the French Government. Chicago, Nov. 6. The gift of a large col lection of edition de luxe volumes, most ly historical and scientific, is the partial reward received by the University of Chi cago for its active participation in the "Franco-American movement' to establish closer educational relations between France and the United States. The French government at its own press publishes valuable scientific treatises and historical memoirs which no private pub lisher could afford to undertake. No ex pense is spared in the compilation 01 printing of these works, and they are ex tremely valuable. The French minister of public instruction, in appreciation of tne university's co-operation with French schools, has presented to the Chicago school a collection of all works so far is sued. Several thousand volumes already have been shipped. It is expected that as new works are published the university will receive copies. MYSTERY IN INDIANA.

The fusionists saved just one district judge out of the seventeen elected. This one, T. L. Bond, of Salina, was saved by them by his popularity at home and the revolt in Ellsworth county against the Republican nominee, R. R. Rees. While Saline county gave Bailey 275 majority and some of the Republican county candidates as high as 700, It gave Bond 391 on the fusion ticket. .Ells worth county, which gave Bailey 250, went against Rees by 75, while Lincoln county gave Bond a majority of 23L Ottawa county, the home or Mr. Rees. gave him 5S4, running him ahead of Bailey. These figures will elect Bona by just 16 plurality. Reports received at 5 o clock yesterday afternoon Indicated that Rees was elect ed by 42, as it was reported that Bond got only 76 majority in Lincoln county. out this was afterwards changed to Zit for Bond. This has been one of the closest fights in the state. The other sixteen judges are all Republican. In the Tenth judicial district, com prised of Johnson and Miami counties, W. H.

All of Governor Stanley's appointees to judgeship were elected with the exception of James Lawrence in the Sumner-Cowley district, who failed of a renomination by the Republicans. REPRESENTATIVES IN DOUBT. There is considerable interest over the close -ote on representative in the East district in Lyon countv. It is conceded that Charles Harris was defeated in the West district, but in the East ci'striet J. E. Evans, the Republican candidate, has been elected by a majority of one on the face of the return. The Republicans gave him up yesterday, but they now believe he is safe. There are eleven rail road men in Evans' district who are supposed to have voted away from home, and their associates say that most of them would vote for Evans, so that if they voted properly Evans is probably safe. It is so close in Pawnee county that it is not yet known who is elected to the legislature. It is probably a tie. Then there is one Pawnee county voter at the Dodge City Soldiers' home, and if he voted for representative it may throw It to the Republicans. HAMILTON'S SMALL MAJORITY. Norton, Kan., Nov. 6.

An Easy Opening in Wheat Re ported Today. Fluetation During the Trading is Very Slight. LIVE STOCK TRADE. Light Receipts of Cattle and Market Steady. Hog Market Higher in Spite of Large Receipts. Chicago, Nov. WHEAT Improvement in weather- conditions and large receipts in the northwest, with steady cables, ac counted for the rather easy opening in wheat today. The market was dull, with no special features to trading. The small local receipts (92 cars) bad no effeci on the situation, as live railroads failed to make any inspection yesterday on account of the rain. The market held dull and steady during the first hour, lack of outside business be ing a noticeable feature, December opened unchanged to c lower, at 70''n71c and with locals inclined to the selling side, there was a slight decline to 71c, later rallying to 71c. Minneapolis end Duluth reported receipts of 871 cars, which, with local receipts of 92 ears (two of contract grade), made total receipts for the three points of 963 cars, against 1,001 cars last week. Weakness In corn had a depressing ef fect in wheat the latter part of the ses sion and December, after selling up to 71c. reacted to 71c. The close was c lower, at 71e. CORN Better weather and indifferent cables caused an easier start in corn. With a fair commission house demand and of ferings rather light, the market was held quite sieaay, witn oniv a sugnt decline. December opened c lower, at 51't 51c. selling up to 51c shortly after tne opening. Local receipts were 141 cars, with cars ot contract grade. On covering by shorts, December ad vanced to 51c.' but later on liquidation by longs the market declined, the low point being reached at 50c. The close was vac lower, at so-SifaSOttc. OATS There was a continuation of the good cash demand in oats and the opening was firm. Trading, however, was on a small scale, with buying of December by brokers the principal feature That de livery opened unchanged to He higher, at 29t29'ic, and sold up to 2!fj30c within the first half hour of trading. Local le eeipts were 112 cars. PROVISIONS Provisions opened strong, with pit sentiment bullish on small stock of lard and situation in hogs. Shorts showed an inclination to get to cover, while about, the only selling was in the way of liquidation. January pork opened unchanged to 5c higher, at $l5.50'dl5.j5. January lard was 5'&7c higher, at $9.42 9.45. and January ribs opened 5c higher, at $8.30.

And the dis tances to be covered by the accomplish ed and projected "electrics" are not all or them short, as, for instance, the lat est to be announced, a trolley line from Cincinnati to Fort Wayne, is to be 356 miles long. It is already possi ble to travel by trolley from New York to Boston, and Al Johnson's scheme for connecting New York and Philadelphia by trolley cars traveling at 50 miles an hour was only recently exploited in the press. From Germany comes the in formation that on the new electric rail way now in construction between Ber lin and Zossen it is expected to develop a speed of 114 miles an hour. Kverything points to the universal use of the electric railroad all over the United States, and now that the people generally are awakening to the fact much curiosity is expressed as to those men who had sufficient farsightedness to perceive the magnitude of the move ment before it began. There are, of course, many names that have more than local prominence, but only those which are most conspicuous are here mentioned. It has been predicted of the largest street railway syndicate in the United States, probably in the world the Elkins-Widener-Whitney combina tion of New York and Philadelphia that eventually, and at a time not far distant, it will control every mile of track east of the Mississippi and be tween Canada and Florida. Mr. P. A. B. Widener, the man to whom is given the credit of discovering the latent traffic possibilities in Phila delphia's streets, was born in the City of Brotherly Love Nov. 13, 1834. His educational advantages were few and served him at first only in the hum ble capacity of a veal butcher. Taking to politics, he became prominent, and in 1S73 was appointed to fill the unex pired term of City Treasurer Mercer, v. ho had defaulted. On retiring from public office, in 1875, he turned his at tention to the development of the city's street railroads, joined with him some influential men and secured the fran chises that made him and his compan ions millionaires. Branching out into other kinds of business, the head of the concern became a dominating factor in many enterprises, and his name became well known in other large cities, nota bly Chicago. New York, Baltimore and Pittsburg. It was about four years ago that Mr. Widener announced his deter mination to present his magnificent and palatial residence to his fellow citizens. Tlia residenca was. valued at $600,000, and the art collection which it contain ed and wl i':h went with it was esti mated at not le.5s than $400,000, making the gift worth $1,000,000 in all.

While the ostensible excuse was the congratulation of King Edward VII on his accession to the throne, behind it all lay ano-her and the actual motive, which was to sound the different gov ernments of Europe as to the negotia tion of commercial treaties. A glance at the map will reveal the uncomfortable situation of Sultan Mu ley Abdul ,Aziz, ruler of Morocco, as to his neighbors. Morocco, with its area of some 300,000 square miles and a pop ulation estimated at anywhere from 2,000,000 to 5.000,000, is peculiarly unfor tunate in being the nearest African country to Europe, and hence has ex cited the covetousness of countries on the other side the strait for centuries. Once it was part" and portion of the fa mous Barbary states, but one by one those states have been absorbed, and now it stands isolated and alone, far from friends and lands containing rul ing people of kindred faith, and, more over, it holds a geographical position which alone is enough to make it an ob ject of great desire to its neighbors. Spain has a foothold in Morocco, in its penal settlement of Ceuta; but, al though at one time it practically domi nated the whole country and held pos session of most of the Mediterranean ports on the African side, it will never again probably acquire more than it at present holds. Spain would like to un dertake the recc uest of Morocco not only on account of its contiguity, but for the sentiment of the thing. More than a thousand years ago Moors and Arabs from this same country invaded Spain by the way of the strait of Gi braltar, the promontories of which were then known as the pillars of Her cules. One of these "pillars" Is Ceuta, which Spain still owns; the other, over on the European side, is the famed Gi braltar, named after the fierce Arab conqueror, Gib el Tarik, the one eyed warrior who overran southern Spain and opened the way for its complete conquest early in the eighth century. But that is not to the credit of the na tive Castilians, who ever since the time when King Ferdinand finally rolled obliged to procure a bondsman and found him in the person of another Philadelphian, Mr. William L. Elkins. Between these two there developed such an intimacy that later on, after they had launched out into their vast street railway enterprises, they were known as the "traction twins." Their hyphen ated names, "Elkins-Widener" or "Wi-dener-Elkins," were always seen at- fAS T YrME5T s. H HENRY M U kJSS fe pyTTSPT WHITNEY Fjr 1 tached to all their operations after their first acquaintance, and they formed that financial alliance that has carried through so many vast undertakings. William Lukens Elkins was born near Wheeling, W. Va., in 1S32, but was brought up and educated in Philadel phia, his ancestors being of Quaker stock. Like his future partner, Wide ner, he never advanced beyond the com mon schools and early embarked in business for himself. In 1862 he invested in the oil regions, and during the next 20 years or so, first as a speculator and then as a refiner, he was engaged in building up a large fortune from oil. It is not as an oil man, however, that he is best known, but from his connection with street railways. He made a great success of his first venture in this di rection, acquiring' for himself and his partner a complete monopoly of Phila delphia's surface tracks. Once having mastered the elements of traction, as it were, it was very easy to branch out and take in other places, and the Wide ner -Elkins people became organizers and part owners of those systems in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, New Jersey, etc., which have made their names almost household words- today. They also went into other schemes, such as gas and electric lighting, coke and coal. Like his partner, Elkins has 0 0 back the Moorish legions In Andalusia, have hankered for revenge and territo rial reprisals. When Spain lost Gibraltar to the British in 1704, she gave away the key to the situation, which she has vainly tried to regain many times since. She looks upon the continued retention of Gibraltar by the British as a breach of international comity, and so long as it is held by them just so long will the wound rankle in the proud Spanish heart. But Great Britain, having held Gibraltar for nearly 200 years, and by means of her grip on the great rock having been practically mistress of the Mediterranean all that time, will never relax her hold. She would not even ex change it lor Ceuta, on the African side of the strait, though doubtless Spain would gladly make the trade and throw in a good many square miles of her west African islands. What the Eng lish want now is not more possessions, but strategic positions. Gibraltar is all right of itself, but directly across the strait lie Ceuta, Tetuan and Tangier, all ports at which an enemy might har bor and make bases of operation for acts of aggression if a Mediterranean war should occur. Tetuan and Tangiers are ports of Mo rocco, gateways leading to the rich in terior, and possession of them by an enemy of England would be equivalent to flanking Gibraltar and rendering it innocuous. To get and hold these ports and adjacent territory is the hope and desire of British strategists; to capture the vast trade of interior Morocco is the cherished scheme of British merchants and manufacturers. The latter state ment is borne out by the last report re specting the Moroccan mission, which is that the sultan has authorized his envoy, Cid El Mehedy El Menebhi, to negotiate a commercial treaty with Great Britain in the first instance, which will be the entering wedge to ward opening Morocco to foreign com merce. But Great Britain is not to be allowed quietly to absorb this old yet new ter ritory without a struggle for commer cial if not actual supremacy. Her great rival in the field is, of course, France, which for nearly two genera tions has held possession of adjacent Algeria and has acquired a vast fund of experience in her dealings with the north Africans. About 70 years ago she D AND FRANCE AT ODDS VER THE EMPIRE OF MOROCCO done many philanthropic acts. He is a great lover of art, and the Elkins gal lery, like the Widener, contains many noteH paintings. That these two partners in the Elkins-Widener syndicate have great courage and capacity, unusual fore sightedness and shrewdnesss, goes without saying, for they have accumu lated vast wealth together and have sim km 0 r&iiw PETER A.B.wipNF?. viI conducted some of the most stupen dous financial schemes known to any times. Through C. T. Yerkes they be came interested in Chicago surface lines and through W. C. Whitney they obtained a foothold in New York.

Whitney were fighting for control of the streets of New York city and it looked as though both would fail the Widener-Elkins people reconciled the 0 0 sent her soldiers across the Mediterra nean and took the port of Algiers from the pirate beys. It is doubtful if France has reaped a rich material reward frcm her labors in Algiers, but the north Af rican Held has proved a great training school for her soldiers, opened an out let for her surplus population, especial ly for agriculturists and, as intimated, has shown what can be accomplished by the application of scientific methods in the development of the resources of an unexploited territory. For more than a thousand miles a railroad runs along the north coast of Africa, with spurs and feeders down to ward the great Sahara desert at vari ous points. The last project, soon to be carried out, is the crossing of the Sa- 6 Philip t So1 32 Fleet St London orenduf I X StatuU Mile f f 4 'f A 'ff W haran desert to mysterious Timbuktu by prove disastrous to Muley Abdul and a north and south rail line from the i his subjects, for he has long been look Mediterranean coast.

With the advent of the Philadelphia "traction twins" in New York a new combination was formed and another hyphen added to the title of the big gest monopoly, in its way, on the face of the earth. It was then and Is now known as the "Widener-Elkins-Whit-ney" syndicate. In New York, as ev erybody knows, William C. Whitney, formerly President Cleveland's secreta ry of the navy, had great influence with the powers that were. Whitney worked the political franchise dispensers In a way that secured for him and his Philadelphia partners practically a per petual monopoly of the city's streets. It has long been currently reported in hy a persistent delimitation of the co terminous boundary line between Al geria and Morocco the territory of Sul tan Muley Abdul Aziz has been very much restricted. With the Mediterra nean, practically controlled by Great Britain, on the north; the Atlahtic, where his ports are few and poor, on the west; the Sahara desert on the south, and a great power like France relentlessly encroaching on the east, Muley Abdul is, to use a figurative but forceful expression, "in a hole," from which he sees but one way of escape. To a man of rather limited abilities like the sultan there seems only the Chinese way of exciting some great ri val power desiring his favor against another. In the end, of course, it will jVVHITNr, -St) iJ i 14 i m n J ta Philadelphia that Widener always got what he wanted in that city, and the same may be said of Whitney and New York. While William Collins Whitney, the man who secured the financing of the great Metropolitan system, is too well known Jo need a detailed description in this connection, he has a less famous but almost equally success ful brother, who should be referred to in a casual glance at the trac tion millionaires. Henry M. Whitney was born in Conway, Mass., in 1S39. William C. Whitney had a college edu cation and graduated from Harvard, but Henry M. got no higher than Wil liston seminary, after which he went into a Boston bank as a clerk. He de veloped into a great financier and about 15 years ago conceived the plan of unit ing all the street railways entering Bos ton under one management. As presi dent of the West End Railway com pany Mr. Whitney became a power in Boston, in a certain sense surpassing his brother in the larger metropolis. He has been identified with the city's trac tions for the past 15 years and has built up a rapid transit system of which he is proud. Incidentally, he has also built up a fortune. Like his Philadel phia rivals, H. M. Whitney has got a grip on other utilities, such as coal, coke, steel and gas, being president of the Dominion Coal company. New Eng land Gas and Coke company, the Mas sachusetts Pipe Line, etc. In a class all by himself must be placed Chicago's great ex-traction mag nate, Charles Tyson Yerkes, who, like all the rest, was born poor and, like two of his iost noted confreres, was born in Q Q 0 O 0 0 Q Q O Q O O O agreed on one point, and that is that Morocco must eventually become the prey of some greater, grander power. But they are not willing that it shall fall either to France, to which the fin ger of inevitable destiny seems to point, or to Great Britain. For the reasons given above the pres ence in Europe of an embassy headed by Cid El Mehedy, the sultan's grand vizier, and the Scottish commander of his little army of 30,000, Kaid Maclean, i together with a retinue of two dozen j people, is regarded as an event of great significance. TRUMAN L. ELTON. I -Mjh-t mi tea fe! ta Philadelphia. He is now 64 years of age and is engaged in reconstructing the underground lines of London. He was early a speculator and when a very young man was in business as a broker. Removing to Chicago, his energy, tact and foresight enabled him to quickly forge to the front. By process es known to the successful manipulat ors of capital Yerkes came into control of the city railways of Chicago, and after years of almost superhuman labor succeeded in uniting in one great sys tem the lines which today absolutely gridiron the city. A man of indomita ble will, with unbounded ambition and forceful character, Mr. Yerkes has com pelled natural obstacles and human will to yield before him until at last he has achieved his ambition. Mr. Yerkes has a magnificent resi dence in New York and a thousand so cial ties in the United States, but he seems to consider it his duty to teach the Londoners a lesson In American methods of rapid transit- This account of men who have be come prominent through the exploita tion of city surface lines would of course be considered incomplete with out mention of unique Tom Johnson of Cleveland. In a certain sense he is a national character through his services in congress and his strenuous and per sistent advocacy of the single tax idea. He has come before the public in recent years also as a street ear owner and manager and a persistent preacher of cheap railway fares for the common people. In fact, he made this 3 cent fare advocacy a successful warcry in his re cent mayoralty fight, while his brother Albert, recently deceased, showed through the press what vast benefits would be conferred upon the public by consolidation of existing lines between great cities, like New York and Phila delphia. Both Tom and Al began life as unassisted sons of an impoverished Confederate soldier, but both had a rep utation as "hustlers" from the very first. Until the lamented death of his brother Tom Johnson was usually asso ciated with him in his many railroad schemes. Now Tom is a millionaire, and, although he has retired from ac tive business, not long ago he employed more than 20,000 men in his various en terprises and owned the electric roads of Allentown, Pa., Cleveland, O., and Indianapolis, besides having large rail way interests in Detroit, Brooklyn, etc. Although the city of New York still runs three-fifths of the obsolete horse cars contained in the United States, its vast population makes its territory a rich field for exploitation. H. H. Vree land, president of the Metropolitan sys tem, who rose to his present high post from the ranks, has recently accom plished the transformation of a portion of his road from cable to the under ground electric at a dead loss of about $6,000,000. This amount of property, and probably at least $4,000,000 more, the Metropolitan deliberately threw over board, being sure of quickly recouping itself from its vast earnings. President Vreeland estimates the to tal earnings of New York city's surface roads last year at $15,000,000, Brook lyn's at $11,000,000 and Philadelphia's at $10,000,000. CHANNING A. BARTOW.

Physical training-, as undertaken in schools and gymnasiums at the present day, is still in the experimental stage of its development, although" many of the clumsy mistakes of the past have been permanently corrected. The problems which the instructor in physical culture inevitably encounters are now receiving the careful consideration of the expert physiologist, and new lines of study are being pursued. In the course in personal hygiene, for example, which Professor Theodore Hough has established at the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, it has been deemed important to determine the mean blood pressure In man under various conditions of mental excitement and physical exertion, and very inters esting experiments have resulted. The pressure could be measured directly in the case of animals by temporarily opening an artery, but for a human subject an elaborate apparatus has been devised ,to measure the pressure externally. A man's veins are elastic and are so distended by the normal flow of the blood that any pressure, as of the heart beats, causes only the slightest additional distention. When, however, an outside pressure, as of water at a proper height, is applied, the Inside pressure of the blood is neutralized, the veins become lax, and the full distend ing power of the nulse is aimarcnt. J To attain this condition measure j ments in, blood pressure are made by j means of a large glass jar, into which in- duujwl Lurusis ms arm. in oraer that the pressure of the water may be accurately gauged, a water tight con nection is made by a surgeon's rubber glove and heavy rubber bands at the mouth of the jar. The Jar is then filled with water by a tube from a supply bottle, which last is raised or lowered to regulate the pressure. When an ex act equality between the normal pres sure of the blood outward and the pres sure of the water inward is established, any extra pressure of the blood Is defi nitely manifested and is communicated by means of another tube to a column of mercury, where it is recorded by a floating needle, which marks the result on a revolving cylinder. Starting with records made when the subject was at rest mentally and phys ically, comparative measurements of the blood pressure have been secured when he was solving a problem in mathematics, translating a difficult passage from the German or attempt ing to repeat something which had been read in his hearing. Much has already been done to record the changes in blood pressure-consequent upon degrees or violent exercise, but the rapidity of the heart beats under such circum stances has materially increased Pro fessor Hough's difficulty in obtaining accurate measurements. DIGGIXG FOR PAPYRI DELICATE. The Greek papyri recently given to Harvard by the Egypt Exploration fund have been framed between glass to allow the closest examination and at the same time to protect them against all possible injury and placed on exhibi tion in the Semitic museum. The most interesting is a sheet containing the first seven verses of the first chapter of St. Paul's epistle to the Romans. It dates back to the beginning of the fourth century of the Christian era and is still in such goo condition that Pro fessor Lyon was easily able to w rite the catalogue number on it with modern pen and ink without tearing or even scratching the ancient surface. Papyrus was made of the pith of an Egyptian reed, thin strips of which were laid side by side till the necessary size was obtained;, and then another layer, with strips running at right an gles with the first, glued to its surface. Although the specimens which have been recovered in such numbers during the last few years are often much less fragile than they look, the wonder is that they should have lasted at all through all these centuries, and digging for them, of course, is a most delicate oper ation if one is to recover them in good condition. From another point of view papyrus digging has been compared to gold seeking. Just as the gold seeker follows his view of quartz, so the pa pyrus digger follows a stratum, or vein, of what the natives call "afsh." consist ing of earth mixed with bits of twig or straw, which apparently is the remains of the house rubbish of the ancient in habitants. Good afsh, it is said, must be neither too hard, for coagulation in the process of hardening is fatal to th papyri, nor too soft, for then it tend to become a fine, powdery earth in which the papyri will be found to hav decomposed. It is calculated that at least half th papyri unearthed in Egypt hav been destroyed by the carelessness of the ig norant natives. Egyptologists believe however, that the rich mine of these un-' rivaled documents of ancient life and literature has still many treasures to render up to the patient seeker, and th increasing interest in antiquities in thla country is likely to bring many rnor.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THUKSDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 6, 1902. 9 .Story of Modern Witchcraft From the Record-Herald. I Halsey Tomkins who is now a "slate writer" at Worth race track, and as practical and sane a man as any wise snorting man could ask. sitting in the Palmer house buffet the other night told this story: "Never mind about me. I pot away bad at the Overland meeting, and came down to Manitou to drink up the sul phur spring and keep my hand in with roulette at Old Town. It was running vide open then, a sort of compromise between the Colorado Springs paradise, the Manitou society heaven, and the Garden of the ;ods. which, by the way, looks more like a page from Dante's' In ferno' than a park, garden or home of the deities. "I got a room In a widow's cottage up In the foothills above Ruxton's canyon, and from there I made long walks intoj the mountains and over the Cheyenne canyon, where Helen Hunt is buried and where the Seven Falls drop a thousand feet in relays and never look cheap till they get down to rock bottom and flow way in the shape of a kind of Skokie Creek. "On one of my lonesome ramble.? among the peaks I ran across one of those half canvas, half wooden shack? that are so plentiful in all mountain re orts. I was burnt up for a drink, so I went in and Nagged the proprietor for a tnolstener. He gave me water, and asked me to sit down. We got pretty Well acquainted, and when he heard that I was a gambler he admitted that I was the very kind of a man he was looking for. He asked me if I had ever been interested in aerostatics, and when I said that I had been and was, though I didn't know what it meant, he told me that he had invented a living ma chine, and that all he wanted to set him on his feet was a man like me. who was willing to take a chance and who would finance a first public apoearance' be fore a large, paying crowd. "I admitted that I thought the scheme might be worked provided his tiying raa. Chine worked, and then he showed it to me. It was nothing but wings, so far as I could see. great, spreading wings of white, shining metal, which he ex plained was aluminum. I admitted that I didn't know anything about balloons, flying machines or anything of that kind, and he went into the history of the whole business. He told me that human ignorance, prejudice and stingi ness had thus far been the chief obsta cle to successful navigation of the air, nnd that at an earlier day religious superstition had defeated and destroyed Fome of the most remarkable efforts to fly. He told about some archbishop who, having witnessed the successful flight of an aeronaut from one moun tain peak to another, had immediately caused the scientist to be burned at the stake for witchcraft. "We got down to brass tacks after a while, and I said that if he would give me a private exhibition of his flying ability I'd take him to Denver and pull off a show in which we might both make some money. I stayed all night at his shack, and he explained the work ings of his invention. It was, as I told you. mostly wings, but there was a piece of harness which reached from the butt of the wings to his feet, by means of which he claimed to be able to launch himself from the earth. In other words, once hitched up to his contrivance he could by a few vigorous strokes with both legs set up such a vigorous flap ping of his wings that he rose at once. After that it was mostly a question of slow, steady leg strokes, the manipula tion of the wings with his hands, soar ing, poising and finally sinking by fold ing his pinions. "Beyond Cameron's Cone, a thousand fret or more below the cliff that faces south, thore is a wide, smooth table land of perhaps a thousand acres. I was to go there in the morning, while he, winged and ready, was to launch himself from the cliff, mount, stoop, soar. descend, alight, and in every way demonstrate his ability to fly. When I got to my place about norm I rnuld descry him only by the reflection which the sun cast fro-n his bright wings. Hp looked like an ant aloft, and I sat down In the shade of a small oak and waited. Presently I saw his wings spread. He seemed to leap from the precipitous edge of the cliff against the wind. I felt sick and dizzy as I wait ed for his fall. Tint instead of falling he floated out across the chasm like a bird Then the wind, which was against him. drove him hack and upward like a kite. The wings were motionless, but he circled and rose, as yon have seen buzzards circle nnd mount with wings that seem rigid. Then he swung out across the abyss and away, quartering toward the east as fast as eagle ever ilew; then poised again, and came swooping like a hawk toward the table where I lay, fascinated, watch ing him. I thought he would be dashed to pieces against the ground, hut when he was perhaps 4i-0 feet above me.descend Ing like a dead missile, I saw the strokes of his legs. The great, gleaming wings smote the air rapidly, and he stood still In midair, leaning, as it were, against the breeze, and then. In swiftly narrowing cir cles, circled downward gently toward the earth. He alighted not more than a hun dred yards from me. drew In his wings nnd called out, 'Come and set me down!' "I unhitched him and gave him a drink from my flask. He was winded, hut still strong, and he saw that I was delighted with the demonstration. I don't remember what I said, but it was all praise. We carted the machine back up the mountain, and I started for Denver the next day. i engaged Klltch's Garden for every Sunday for a month and broke into the papers for all kinds of space about Professor Woodly and his tiying machine. The prob lem of aerial navigation was solved, nnd he was interviewed for whole pages. The sale of tickets was enormous. The one thing essential to a successful flight, said Woodly. was a perch high enough. I borrowed all the money I could cet thev wouldn't advance me the box office re ceipts ana when baturday came I had erected a sort of scaffold nearly 100 feet high. "There must have been 2'000 people on the grounds at 3 o'clock Sunday, when Woodly mounted the ladder with his ma chine. It was an impressive moment. Ut ter silence reigned while he was getting into nis narness. At last he stood upon METAMORPHOSIS OF REGGIE He was a very intelligent youth, And the trouble with him was that he -wouldn't play any games at all. the verge. He hesitated, then spread his great, glittering wings. Then he sat down. The crowd cheered, waited, cheered again, and was silent. Then Woodly stood up, and I saw that he was trying to make a speech. He might as well have whistled. Not a word of his could be heard. The crowd began to Jeer. I was at the foot of the ladder and scampered up as fast i3 I could. When I got to the little platform at the top he turned a deathly face upon me and said: "Tomkins, my suspenders are busted. I can't fly!" I cold him he had to fly, that the crowd was getting ugly, that we'd be mobbed. 'Go ahead!' I howled; 'try it!' He looked at me des pairingly, turned toward that sea of faces, spread his wings again and jumped. "He went down whirling straight to the ground, vainly flapping, kicking and slam ming the air with his right wing. The oth er wouldn't work. The mob Jumped him as soon as he struck the ground. Beer bottles, glasses, sticks, stones and lawn benches were hurled upon him. The po lice came to his rescue, and we pacified the crowd after I promised to refund the entrance money.

His leg was broken in the fracas." CAPTURED BY CONVICTS. By M. Quad. We had discharged our cargo at Georgetown from the brig Albatross and were ready to start on our return voy age to Liverpool when the captain was notified that ten French convicts from the penal settlement of Cayenne had escaped to sea in a yawl. Three days later and 120 miles to the south our lookout sighted the craft and her convict crew. In a cuarter of an hour the yawl lay off our port bavv within speaking distance. Only desper ate men could have attacked and over powered the guard and escaped as they did. There was neither a young nor an old face among them, but all were middle-asred men. Some were in full uniform, while others had thrown awav their jackets. Their leader was a short, stout man of such dark complexion that he seemed to be a Spaniard. As the boat drew near he stood up in the stern sheets and called out: "Hello, captain! Our ship went down off here (pointing to the east) yesterday afternoon." "I know you!" shouted Captain Roth say in reply. "You are escaped convicts from Cayenne. If you attempt to board us, you will find us well prepared." "Yes, captain, you speak truly," said the leader after a brief consultation with his men. "We are convicts from Cayenne, but we are innocent men. We do not wish to board you. We have neither food nor drink, and we ask you, in the name of humanity, to supply us." The captain consulted with me in re gard to it. They must come alongside In order to receive supplies, and when they had once hooked on who could say what they might attempt? Besides we had little or nothing to spare. They had been afloat five or si-,a days, and none of their faces exhibited evidence of suffering. "I have nothing to spare, and I warn you to keep off!" shouted the captain in answer to the request. We had seen no arms among them and had supposed them to be without weapons of any sort. To our great sur prise, five muskets, taken from the guard when they escaped, were sud denly lifted into view, while four oars dropped into the water, and the yawl made for our bows. There was a fierce yel! from every convict, and those with muskets opened fire. Captain Rothsay was killed arid the second mate wound ed even before they had hooked on. We scaided them with boiling water and fought them with whatever we could lay hold of, but within five minutes the brig was captured. We had a foremost hard killed in the fisht on deck, and none of us escaped injury. As an offset we killed two of the convicts while they were trying to board. As chief officer I was "asked about our cargo and destination, and on the other hand the leader informed me that they were sorry to interrupt our voy age, but intended to use the briz to make good their escape. The first thing was to get rid of the dead bodies They allowed us to sew them in canvas before they went over board, and then our wounded men were made comfortable. After the burial the leader said to us: "We mean you no harm. We are des perate men and intend to make our es cape. After we have been landed in some safe place you may sail away with your brig. If you try to deceive us, we will show you no mercy." I was further informed that I must act as captain and navigate the brig, and I was allowed to choose a mate from among my men. After that a council was held among the eight of us as to what place should be steered for. I brought them the charts from the cabin, and after a long debate it was decided to run for the Amazon river. From the very first I had hoped that we might retake the brig, but the con victs would only trust us so far. The watches were so divided by order of Moran that our men were separated, and two of the convicts were kept un der arms to act as sentries. Moran and the second mate had Quarters aft with me, while all the others berthed for ward. All of us were under constant surveillance, though decently treated, and no two of us were ever left alone together. While none of them could take the wheel, they kept constant watch on the compass. They knew the course was south by west, and if the brig broke off a point they were quick to de tect it. The winds were light and variable, and it was a week after our capture before we drew In with the coast. Moran s or ders were to avoid Para by entering the north mouth, and when we were fairly in the river he told me their plans. I was to take them in the brig up as far as the mouth of the Xingu river, and ihey then would pull up the stream in the yawl and make for the diamond district. We were not above 30 miles up the river when we were obliged to come to anchor for want of a breeze About the time we anch ored the demeanor of the convicts seemed i to change for the worse. It appeared as And gradually and surely he chang- ed from a human being of flesh and blood into a mere conglomeration of if three or four of them were anxious to pica a quarrel with our men. That even-' ing the second mate found opportunity to say to me: "Depend upon it, Mr. Lenox, they never meant to stand by their bargain. I should not be surprised if they were planning to cut our throats and scuttle the brig." I strongly suspected them of some evil intention, but nothing came of it that night. Next morning we had wind and tide in our favor, and at noon, when we anchored again, we had made 25 miles Right away after dinner the yawl was lowerea ana Moian began to outfit her. Whatever they thought could be made useful was placed in. the boat, and they were rummaging about the whole after noon. At about 6 o'cIoeW fcrn nrr1,.T-e,i all of the old crew of the brig into the caoin. ll.very man of us at once realized that the climax was at hand, and. acting In concert, we made a sudden and furious attack. We got possession of two of t;ie muskets and were making a good fight of it. though bound to be beaten in the end. when a Brazilian gunboat, which was on her way up the river, sheered along side of us and had grappled on before fcome of us saw her. Her presence put an end to the tight, of course. We had two men wour.deti, while we had tilled one com let and woended a second. Our captors were neatly trapped, but they no sooner realized it than they claim ed to be th? leal crew of the vessel and denounced us as convicts. They were so tamest and emphatic in their declarations that the commander of the gunboat was almost convinced. I destroyed their case, however, when I asked them for the cap tain's name, our port of hail the names of the different ropes and sails, etc. They were ironed and taken aboard the gun boat to be conveyed to Cayenne, while the brig was towed down to Para to be put through the legal forms necessary in such cases. The last time I saw Moran he said to me: "Do you think we would have been such fools as to let you sail away with tne brig? I meant to lock all of you in the cabin and then cut away 'the masts and scuttle her." (Copyright, 1902, by H. L. Harold.) HUMOR OF THE DAY.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL. THURSDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 6, 1902. 10 NOW KE IS IN. Residence of W. G. Williams, of School Board, Established. The board of education met last nieht Bimply because the law requires the board to meet once a month. There was nothing to be done so the table was relieved of the motion to oust and os tracise W. (J. Williams, the colored member, whose residence has been in doubt. An imaginary transit line was run from the north pole and it was decided that Williams lives just over the line In Topeka at SiS Eat Twelfth street. Mr.W illiams explained that John Hewitt wished to be councilman and Williams opposed him and Hewitt was defeated. Williams was renting a houe from Hewitt. Soon Williams had to move out by retiuest and as houses were scarce In that neighborhood he had to move across the line into the country. He ex plained that he now lived in a house of his own which he had been building during the time of the heated contro versy. The board looked grave about the matter and all voted Mr. Williams Into full membership. The case is pro bably settled unless Mr. Williams moves sain before the next meeting.

Thompson goes to work at the Santa Fe shoos at 6 o'clock, and he couldn't wait for me to open up, I guess. Said he was going to bring his watch down for me to fix, and he must have been in a hurry for me to get to work on it."

The Iron Trade Review this week says relative to the condition of the iron trade: Increasing difficulties of the fuel situ ation and additional price adjustments in some forms of finished material are the chief features of the market in the past week. The uncertainties of ship ments have made buyers less anxious to contract for the more distant future and there has also entered into the cal culations of some the prrwpect of in creased production in the next eight months, so that there is little disposi tion to anticipate wants beyond July 1. In the case of the United States Steel corporation, the fact that Merchant Valley furnaces are far behind in their deliveries of iron bought by its con stituent companies months ago, has held up for the present the negotiations for a large block of Bessemer for delivery after April 1, 1903. As for the opinion expressed by many buyers that prices of pig iron and semi finished materials will be lower before they will need to buy next year, the turning point still is coke. That is the pivot not only of pig iron, but of steel supply. The further importation of steel making icon is seriously consider ed by central western interests whose steel works cannot make their full out put because' of the troubles of furnaces that have their pig iron orders. Foundry trade in ;ig iron is light, though hei'e and there contracts are be ing made for the second half of 1903. Northern" furnaces are selling No. 2 at $21 at furnace for this delivery, and southern sellers cuote all the way from $18.50 to $20 at furnace. There are indi cations, in view of the tonnage known to be booked in some cases, that certain southern producers will be as little able to take more business for the second half of 1903 as they were last spring to book for the second half of 1902. Foreign iron is being engaged by eastern con sumers for the early part of 1903 and prices are rather easier. Middlesboro No. 3 foundry sold as low as $18.75 at New York. The failure of coke ship ments caused the banking of twenty furnaces in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys this week, and of four in the Chicago and Milwaukee districts. Coke contracts for next year continue to be made, but so-called independent com panies are asking $4 for furnace coke at ovens, while foundries are paying $4.50 to $5 on contracts for the first half of 1903. The very heavy tonnage of rails, plates and shapes booked for next year, and the evidences that the railroads will be as busy in rehabilitation work in 1903 as they have been this year, are still the backbone of the iron and steel situation, and extensions under way and projected by iron and steel manufacturers them seleves are to be reckoned a strong fac tor in the prosperity of the trade next year.

"Two Merry Tramps" was the alleged attraction at the Crawford last night. It was not the worst, for all tramp shows are alike, and while they are all bad, no one has the advantage of the other. This was the same hobo show with slight, very slight, variations. It was conducted under the original slap-stick rules, as follows: "No tramp character will be allowed to hit the center stage without introducing hinnself by firing a small revolver. Five minutes is the time limit, and leading characters must take their choice of being hit with a stuffed club, paper brick, or falling over a settee within that time. All tramp characters must paint a white spot around their eyes. Chorus girls will be fined six bits for singing all In the same key." "Two Merry Tramps" was bad. but it was not the worst, because there are other tramp shows.
