AN AR1srocRAr1c PUG1Llsr.

Mr.. Lal Palmer of Runnymede was in
the city last night. He has added another
wreath to his laurels. He is now the anna
and the southwest. His career has been a
peculiar one: be is champion sprinter,
jockey and pugilist all in one. His record
for 100 yards is 10 10th seconds;for 4 mile,
"a seconds on grass, and long jump. l9 f.,
S ill.,; high jump, IT.. 10 in. He played for
the north of England versus south of Eng
land at cricket, and played
football for the north of England
versus ''The Mauris," from Australia,
He then joined the prize ring and was
under the tuition of Jimmy Mace, the
ex-champion pugiIist OF the world. for
three years and won the amateur middle
weight championship OF England in 1890.
He came to this country iii 1891 and stood
before Paddy Shea al Harper on Feb. IA,
1872, for rounds, the first amateur who
has ever done So and now ne has won the
amateur middieweight championship Of
Kansas and is ready TO hold 1t against all
corners of his weight and class with bare
knuckles.
Though some may think Mr. Palmer is
only prize figher and makes his living by
such, yet they are vastly mistaken. He IS
no less than the son of Sir Charles Palmer
Bart, N. P, the largest ship builder in the
world, and the largest coal owner IN
England. owning no less than fourteen
collieries in Durham. and the biggest
plate glass manufacturer in the United
Kingdom. He owns the Guion and
National line of steamers that
sail between Liverpool and New York, and
also controls the Anglo-Italian line be-
tween London and Naples. He had the
honor lately Of entertaining the prince of
Naples, the heir presumptive to the Italian
throne, and Sir Charles was made, by the
king OF Italy a commander of the highest
and most noble order of st. Lazarus and
Lucrece, the highest title given in Italy,
and the first time ever conferred on Il
European.
n Mr. Lal Palmer was also presented to the
queen of Spain in December, 1890 when
his father was at Madrid interviewing the
Queen in relation TO some men-ofwar, six
In number, which Sir Charles Palmer was
building for the Spanish government.
Now Sir Charles is about to entertain
the queen of England next May, when
she visits his snip building yards,
to see the progress of the ships
that are being built there for the English
navy. Mr.. Rather is also the godson of
the late Mr.. John Bowes the brother of the
great Lord Strathmore. Mr.. Bowes was
known throughout the racing world as the
winner of four derbys, and had the largest
racing stud in England. All those who
know and are acquainted with Mr.. Rather
heartily congratulate him on adding an
other feather TO his cap for as great
sport lately remarked about him, hes
right boy and a slayer, his heart is in the
right place and can fight as well as any
ametuer l ever saw and don't you forget it

STRAIGHT TALK.
Hon. Bailey p. Wagner OF Atchison STANDS
Straight FernInst fusion.

Among the many distinguished guests
at the Carey last night was Hon. Bailey L.
Wagner, ex-mayor of Atchison, and one OF
the most dashing Democratic veterans IN
Kansas Mr.. Wagner is a peculiarly at
tractive man. He might ming!e with oo
men in hotel Office and yet be readily
picked out by an absolute stranger as more
than a hotel guest. He is as bright as
dollar as smart as a whip and as courte-
Gus as Chesterfield. when he talks he
says something" as the saying goes, and
it don't take him long to say what he
wants to say either He is independent in
every expression and doesn't care three
straws what any body thinks Of 1t so long
as it is his own candid opidion.
OF course, he being prominent
Democrat, who has been connected
with the politics of Kansas Tor over a
quarter of century the conversation be-
tween him and the EAGLE man naturally
turned towards politics III general and the
probability of Democratic and Alliance
fusion in particular. NO" said he, Il
don't think the Democrats and the ALI
ance will fuse this year. | have. seen it
stated that they will frequently, but
cannot convince myself that great big
broad shouldered party like the Demo
Gratis, with brilliant record coevel with
the republic itself will enter into fusion
with such "A political prostitute as the
Alliance party. I have been fighting the
battles of the Democratic party in Kansas
for twenty seven years and l have always
observed that when a party fused 1t
always came out of the hight
weaker than il it had engaged the
enemy single handed and alone. Mr.. Wag-
ner became quite warm as he talked on
the subject and recited an array of facts
and figures to prove his assertion that the
party lost strength every time it attempt
ed to gain strength by fusion. Il am Will
ing" said he ito meet defeat at any time,
but am not willing to trail the colors of
Democracy in the dust by fusing with the
Alliance or any other party of its kind and
character If we 20 in as Democrats and
fight and lose, we will have the consola-
ton of knowing that we have not permit
ted our principles, while if we fused and
lost, what would we have to console our
selves with? Nothing, simply nothing. |
say again that it is my opinion
and my hope that the Democracy
will not attempt fusion with the Alli-
ance"
Mr.. Wagner was here as attorney in the
railroad injunction case in the United
States district court. This is his first
visit to Wichita since 1876 and he was abb
solutely astonished at the size of the city
and the evidences of activity manifested
on every hand. "Why," said he, II have
heard that Wichita was dull and all that
sort of thing, but | want to say right here
that if Wichita is dull town we need
half dozen more such places in the state"
Mr.. Wagner returned home last night.

twenty-five miles from Wichita, left home

hogs. When he arrived in town the stock
yards were closed and he left the car OF

bay and showing fight to coterie of stock
yards employees who were making an
effort TO dislodge him so they could get
near the car. Mr.. Frazer left the dog at
Andale after him and when the car start
ed out the dog also started and never let
up till he arrived at the stock yards some
time during the night. pitching his camp
under the very car which contained his
old friends. the hogs.
The dog has been with the hogs for sew
eral weeks and found them SO very COM
panionable as associates that he thought
he ought to spend the last night on earth
with them before they went through the
slaughter house

THE RATE QUESTION.

The interest of 100000 producers and
consumers in Kansas aud the de-
velopmeut of 52,OO0. 900 acres of tie
finest farming lands that the sun
ever shown on within the boundaries
of any state, is of greater Importance to
the prosperity of the railways of this state
than the building up of city of less than
10000 producers and consumers on the
banks of Missouri river, and especially
when the prosperity OF that city almost
wholly depended on the success Of the pro-
ducing and consuming community who
pays tribute TO her support.
At no time in the history Of Kansas has
there been such a determined effort made
on the part of Missourians to retard the
growth of this state, by preventing the
railways Of Kansas from fostering aud
encouraging the business interests along
its lines by reasonable freight rates as at
present.
There never has been a time 10 the his
tory Of Kansas City that she did not reap
more than her share of the trade of Kan
sss, ana which tribute has made her the
grand city that she is
Kansas must be free to trade in the
markets OF ali states on an equal basis
Her jobbers have right to demand that
the jobbers of other states shall
not enter this state in competition with
them for the business in This territory on
cut rates TO the injury of our people The
state board of railway commissioners
thoroughly understand the matter and
only only on the facts presented By the
railways aud the jobbers in interest did
they decide and order just and reasonable
rates TO be put in force,
This evidence should be made public
that the people Of Kansas and the public
generally may know the exact facts in the
controversy OF rates and understand TO
what a. extent the Kansas City jobbers
have discri minated against the Kansas
jebUers.

II DOES HIM GOOD TO BE HERE,

Mr.. W. w. Foster, of Fort Smith, Ark =,
late of the Long Bell Lumber company, is
in the city upon business and renewing ac-
queintance with former friends here To
the EAGLE reporter he said: at is relief to
come once more into one of the northern
states. away from the surroundings of the
typical Arkansas community. People are
disposed to think that much of the printed
reports regarding the inhabitants and
customs of the south are mere words, I'M
til one has been in the section and actually
seen the true condition of things it is hard
to believe otherwise. A southern commu-
nifty is as far different from a northern or
western one as can well be, and the condi-
tions and customs of what we call the
people in that state are primitive and pit
liable, in many cases, in the extreme, and
what is worse, there seems to be no desire
10 improve them. But coming to Wichita
after long absence, the contrast is more
marked than it is between southern cities
and many northern towns. Your progress
here has been remarkable, remarkable;
and you have the facilities here for five
times the present size of Wichita, even,
although you have built up trade aud
brought in people from the outside to
make one OF the finest cities in the state.
l am more than pleased with Wichita and
her excellent motor street railway. In
many southern towns of this size, such
thing is unknown, while here you have
tbs means of transpoItating almost any
number of people without taxing the facil-
ties of the line. All, you western folks
know how TO do things, and it does me
good to be again in the confines of the
Peerless Princess"

THE ADAMS CASE.

The Adams case occupied the attention
of the United States court yesterday and
bids fair not to be concluded before to-
morrow night. Several witnesses were ex-
amined for the defense yesterday. but the
evidence did not vary materially from the
evidence submitted last March. That is
the general opinion. but the attorneys for
the prosecution claim that 1t actually
makes their position stronger than it was
a year ago when they secured the convic-
ton of Adams. The court room was
crowded all day.
