RAMBLING REMARKS
And Comments Concerning Leading Topics

anu h6C0nb UUUuETouVSes
Walter N. Allen received larger vot'
than any other Of the presidential elect
ors. His vote was 163, III, and the other
ranged from that down to 1919.
Prof. Fl. N. Gaines, state superintend
ent-elect, has moved his family from
Salina to Topeka, and has selected D. d
Hornsdsy, of Abilene, as his assistant.
DIR. Scott, father Of Mrs. Benjamin
Harrison, died in Washington, D. O., on
the 10Th. His remains were buried al
Washington, Pennsylvanis, on Thursday
Jay Gould died at his home in New
York last Friday, the direct cause oi
death being consumption. A good many
papers that have defended his business
methods for years are now saying cruel
things about the man.
A report from Cowley county has il
that Ben Clover has been sued by hia
better half for q divorce, tho plaintiff
alleging in her petition that he was Sx-
tremOly cruel to her. There may be
something in it, but the idea Of Benjs-
min being extremely cruel or extremely
anything except sleepy, iB prSpcsterous,
The State Temperance Union, at itS
meeting last week, elected the following
officers: President, d. 9. Miner, Of
Manhattan; vice president, Sam T. Howe,
Of Topeka; secretary, F. o. PopOnoe, Of
Topeka; treasurer, Mrs. s. A. Thurston,
of Topeka. James A. Troutman and /.
o. Pickering, late prohibition candidate
for governor, are on the executive COM
mittee.
A contest has been fled by 4. B. Cab
bell, the Pratt county candidate for
presidential elsCtor, whom the canvass
Ing board refused to give an election
certificate because his name did not ap-
pear in some of the county returns. Mr..
Dewey, the republican who was declared
slscted, will probably not spend much
money to prevent his opponent from got.
ting certificate, since he knows Cabbell
was elected, and there Ia no money In
the Office anyway. The contest court
win be composed of tho same officials
that were on the canvsssing board, and
the hearing 10 set for December l6.

JOHNSON ISLAND SEIZED.
England Claims Jurisdiction Over the
Desert Rock in the Pacific Ocean.

England Claims Jurisdiction Over the
Desert Rock in the Pacific Ocean.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.--The statement is
published that the British cruiser Champion
has seized johnson island in the Pacific
ocean in the name Of Great Britain. It is
said Mt the state department that the United
States has exercised jurisdictional right
over the island since 1858, when an Ameri-
can guano company landed a party thereon
and occupied it.
Territorial jurisdiction has never been
claimed by the United States and the island
has never been annexed The United States
would exert its jurisdictional right over the
island to protect the guano company in the
pursuit OF their avocations on the island,
but it is said there would be no conflict with
the territorial jurisdiction set forward by
any other government
The island Of Navarro, in the neighbor-
hood Of Hayti, does not belong to the United
States, yet from the occupancy Of it by an
American guano company the United States
exerts q jurisdictional power, and in the
case Of riot and murder thereon the crimi-
nails were tried in an American court.
The annexation Of this island by a foreign
power might be resented as an encroach-
ment on the Monroe doctrine, but in the
case Of desert rock IN the Pacific ocean.
far from land and of no strategic value, this
government would probably do no more
than protect the commercial company in'its
rights to gather guano.

The Charges Against the Old Soldier ia
Been Greatly Exaggerated.

The Charges Against the Old Soldier Have
Been Greatly Exaggerated.
WASHINGTON, Aug. BIT was learned at
the department Of state that the cablegrams
from Europe in connection with the arrest
Of Consul Ryder at Copenhagen are in many
respects incorrect.
The American minister, Mr. Carr, has
never reported to the department that Mr..
Ryder was guilty Of the charge nor has lie
ever recommended his recall He did re-
port that the Danish government had made
an ex parte investigation of the charge of
the claimants, and suggested that if the
government of the United States desired TO
transfer Mr. Ryder to some other post the
prosecution would not be instituted in the
courts.
The state department replied that the
consul should be submitted to legal trial
and abide the Judgment Of the court. The
charges against Mr.. Ryder have been greatly
exaggerated in the European press and
some Of them are known to be unfounded.
He has been for many years in the consular
service Of the United States, was gallant
soldier and is now suffering from wound
received in the civil war
While the department did not feel war
ranted in withdrawing him from his post
under the circumstances or evading the re-
suits Of legal investigation, his past record
called for suspension Of public Judgment
till the pending trial was concluded.

What They Have Done and What They
Promise to Do.


What They Have Done and What They
Propose to Do.
1t is hardly necessary to refer to Il e
past history of this organization, as it
has been before the people for eighteen
years, except for two reasons: First,
that it might not be amiss to refer to its
infancy The first preliminary meeting
was held in the Shields Library rooms
October, 1874 George Chance was called
to the chair and j. jerome Smith was
temporary secretary. AT a later meeting,
Mr. Smith was made chief knight or per-
manent chairman, and the late Smiley J.
King permanent knight secretary The
receipts of the first meeting were ST. 90.
The organization has had successful
career ever since and has been success
sively presided over by the following
g. Moore, p Cummings, ]. p. Donahoe
Stigers, p r. Shea, James +. Ryan,
Charles A. Ryan, j. d. German, d. w.
Lynch, Il. r. Kane and G. O'Connor,
The second reason for referring to the
Knights of ST. Lawrence is to call.atten
ton to the uniform division ofthe organ.
ization 1t now numbers about eighty
names Of those who desire to uniform
The fact that the eighty members have
been uniformed at various times at an
outlay Of over 81, 600, and consequently
some ifregula1ity exists an account of
some suits being old, others poorly made
ard poorly taken care of, the Knights
contemplate getting entirely new
uniforms and have on hand as means
M n df1 I'M a. he
cursion to Atlantic City August Ii, and
if this excursion is successful the organ
ization expects to order at once from
some of our city merchants, new coats
and other equipments where they
can be procured to the best
advantage, to participate in the Colum
bian or discovery day exercises. 1t will
represent an outlay of at least 81 500.
They expect to turn out ninety to one
hundred members, and it is hoped that
those contemplating an excursion to
Atlantic City will favor the Knights with
their patronage, or, better still, buy a
ticket.
They have not forgotten the high COM
pliment paid them some years ago, by the
ladies in presenting them with a silk
banner, and say now that this will be the
ladies and gentlemen's excursion. Also
bring the children on half price tickets.
The organization is getting in more
new members than usual, and is in fact
experiencing its second youth. A trip t.
Chicago during the exposition is talked
of, to be taken about Delaware day. We
can assure our friends that the best OF
order will be maintained, and that the
record that the Knights have made in
the past win be maintained.

WASHINGTON, Aug 5.-The storm clouds
which have lowered over the house for
nearly two weeks have lifted and there is
sunlight ahead. Unless something unfore-
seen happens there is every reason now to
believe that the fight over the Worlds fair
item has ended, the sundry civil bill win
pass, and also separate bill making an ap-
preparation las a gif) of S2,5OO,O00 for the
fair and that congress will adjourn in a few
days. A resolution was reported from the
committee on rules and passed making the
day suspension day The resolution ex-
tending the appropriations under the sun
dry civil bill six days was also passed.
Mr.. Holman, Of Indiana, offered a resolu-
ton that the house should reconsider the
vote by which the senate amendment to the.
Worlds fair bill were concurred il, insist
upon a further disagreement and again send
the bill to conference This was adopted
after some debate by a vote Of l4l to so.
This released the house from its parliament
tary ENHANCEMENT
Mr.. Reilly, Of Pennsylvania, who report
ed the recommendation Of the advisory
committee, then offered a resolution that
the house should proceed to consider the
substitute for the Durborrow bill appropri-
ating S25O0,00o for the Worlds fair and
vote upon it.
This was adopted under suspension Of the
rules--l67 to Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas, lead
ing the small minority. The house then, in
committee Of the whole, devoted the
day to the measure, various amendments
being submitted thereto but not adopted,
and the debate took wide range, embrac-
ing the tariff, silver and prohibition issues.
Finally the committee rose and the house
adjourned
The senate emphasized its position as
waiting body-waiting for the action Of the
house on the sundry civil bill and DESTROYS
Of knowing exactly what action the house
was disposed to take before committing
itself in any way. 1t transacted no bust
ness Of its own, but took recess until tire
celved report from the coordinate branch
When that report was received, indicating
that the house insisted on disagreeing to
the Worlds fair amendment to the sundry
civil bill, no action was suggested by the
senate in the line of further conferences,
but an adjournment was Immediately car.
