gretted bitterly and keenly the notoriety
given matter SO exclusively concerning
himself and wife. He said: II am will

in ignorance of the real facts, may choose to
cast upon me. But my regret is for my
wife, whose name should be in dispatches
all over the country. Now as always my
desire has been to do that which would con-
tribute TO the happiness Of my wife and
children. If have in any way failed God
knows it has not been prompted by desire
to do SO. Now, as ever, want that which
will best contribute to the happiness of
my wife. If my wife thinks separation
will add to her happiness, then her mind
and mine are alike. / have done nothing
to merit the obloquy cast on me. Those
who best know me will tell you what my
desires are in this matter. God has blessed
me with wealth. l have never used it for
any mean or unmanly purpose. My heart
and hand have always been open to those
in distress, and will continue to be to those
who seek or need my help. I repeat that
in this matter with my wife, which has
been made so public, have nothing to say
further than that it pains me to see her
name and mine associated with such das-
tardly and vindictive dispatches that have
gone forth to the world. am the man and
she is the woman, and in these relations I

A dispatch from New York says that Mr..
VIM. Henry Hurlbert, president of the
Press Publishing Company, completed yes
terday the transfer of the entire property of
the World newspaper to Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer,

bert announces this in the World to-day,
and the first number of the World under the
editorial charge of Mr.. Pulitzer will be is
sued on Friday morHing. 1t will continue

paid by Mr.. Pulitzer is understood to be
about 100000. This does not include the
building erected for the paper under Mr.
Hurlbert's direction, in 1881, which has
been leased for term of ten years. Mr..
Jay Gould, in thus disposing of his entire
interest in the World, is carrying out the
policy before announced, Of clearing out his
holdings generally, except in railioad aud
telegraph properties, preparatory to his tour
around the world. 1t Is understood to be

This makes the sixth change in the pro-

ANARCHY INA KANSAS TOWN.
Dodge City In the Hands OF Despcr.

ADDE'S.
For the past ten days remarkable aud
startling state Of affairs has existed in
Dodge City, Kan. The trouble is the cul-
mination of long-standing feud between
two elements in that place. Dodge City
has long borne the reputation of hard
town. 1t is one of the few points in Kan
sas where saloons are run openly and
gambling is legitimate. 1t is also the
headquarters of the cowboys and CATTLE
men of the vicinity. Before the last city
election, the Mayor was man named
Webster, proprietor of "dive"--half sa-
loon and half gambling house and
variety hall. He was the representative Of
the lower element of the sporting fratern-
ity. The head of the other faction was w.
II. Harris. This element was more peace
able, but there was bitter feeling between
the two. At the election for Mayor Harris
was beaten, and Degue, Websters caudi-
date elected, and since then 1t has been
conceded that Harris would be driven out
OF the place. About ten days ago man
named Short, who is partner of Harris,
and police officer had a shooting affray,
but neither was hurt. Short was thrown
into Jail, although the evidence showed he
was fired at first. Later five gamblers
were arrested and lodged in Jail. That
night vigilance committee was formed,
with Tom Nixon, proprietor of one
of the most notorious dance-houses in the
West, at its head. The crowd repaired to
the Jail and notified the prisoners that they
must leave town in the morning, In the
meantime, the vigilantes took possession of
the town. Newspaper correspondents were
notified that they must not send kilograms.
A body of armed men watched the arrival
of each train, to see that there was no in
reference. A lawyer from Larned, who
was sent for by ono of the prisoners, was
met by the vigilantes, who leveled guns at
his head, and told him not to
stop. The next morning the five
gamblers were put on west-bound
train, and Short left for Kansas City, where
he is now. Dodge City is practically in the
hands of vigilantes, and the situation is
more serious from the fact that the Mayor
is acting with them. 1t was he who noti-
fed the prisoners that they must leave
town. The trains are still WATCHED, and
armed men guard the town, while a list of
others who will be ordered away is being
prepared. Another dispatch says: dodge
City is in the hands of desperadoes, and the
lives and property of citizens are not safe.
Serious trouble is apprehended."

Secretary Folger yesterday received a
letter from Mr.. Murch requesting that he
be allowed a confidential clerk of his own
selection to assist him in preparing his case
for presentation to the committee appointed
to investigate the affairs of the Office of the
Supervising Architect. He also requested
to be furnished with postage stamps and
telegraphic privileges at the expense of the
Treasury Department. The Secretary in
formed Mr.. Murch that any clerk in the
Department whom he might select would
be assigned to assist him, provided he could
be spared from his present duties. The
Secretary said he would sign all kilograms
submitted to him by Mr.. Murch, provided
he thought them necessary to the investi-
cation, but that he had no authority to
supply him with postage stamps.
