WASHINGTON, Sept pa great hur-
ricane is reported to be approaching the
southern coast OF the United States from
the vicinity Of the west Indies and all
vessels have been warned not to leave
port for fear of complete destruction.
The weather bureau furnishes the fol-
lowing special bulletin to the press IN
regard to it:
The first information of the hurricane
was on the evening of September %,
when a severe storm was reported from
the Windward islands. On the morning
of the 21st a warning telegram was sent
to the Bahama islands. On the morning
of the 22d Bahama reported that
the storm was south of Porto
Rico and moving slowly Based
this report warning kilograms were
sent to the observers at New York, Bal
timOre, Deloware Breakwater. Norfolk,
Wilmington. Savannah. Charles ton and
Jacksonville, directing them to give no
tice to shipping interests, especially to
south bound vessels.
Saturnay evening the storm appears to
have been to the east point of Cuba, San
tiago, Cuba. reporting moderate north
winds. Sunday morning the hurricane
was reported to the east of Cuba,
and on this storm signals were
ordered for Key West, and information
signals hoisted along the gulf coast to

cane was central, approximately 200
miles southeast of Key w est, having
moved about fourteen miles an hour du-
ring the three days.

in cooperation with pOstoffice depart
ment, seventy of the principal towns in
Florida were warned Sunday evening Of
the approach of the hurricane, this being
the first instance Of warning sent under
this system, which covers the whole
country east of the Rockies and is in
tended to widely disseminate warnings Of
all tropical hurricanes, severe storms and
cold waves.
This morning the hurricane center was

MIR. TROUTMAN's HOUSES.
Fred Closes Story that He has Not Paid
for Them Refuted.

for Them Refuted.
James A. Troutman the Republican
candidate for lieutenant governor, has
written a letter to Charles F. Scott of
made on him in a speech at lola last
week by Fred J. Close.
Close said in his speech that Mr.. Trout
man had recently built q fine residence
IN PotWin Place and when finished failed
to pay the men who built il, putting
them of from day to day until il was to
late for them to file a lein on the proper
ty thus compelling them to lose their
money.
Mr.. Troutman has already spoken in
lola and will not be there again during
the campaign, but he has written letter
IN answer to the charges of Colonel Close
IN which he says:
sThe one reply necessary to be made to
Mr. Closes charge is that I never built
house in Potwin In 1886 I bought
house already built, in which l lived un-
til December, 1891, when I sold it. I
afterwards rented the house in which I
now live, and continued TO pay rent until
February. 1894. when l bought that
property. That is all the property have
ever owned in PotWin except a vacant lot.
Several years ago my sister and myself
built two houses in North Topeka. and
as soon as they were built the contract
price was paid to the carpenter, and
never was any question raised by him or
any of his laborers.
''The statement made by Mr.. Close has
not a shadow of foundation. I called at
the Office to see him this morning, but he
is out of the city. l have written him
stating that if he can give me any sub
stantial fact upon which this charge is
founded, 1 will withdraw from the Re
publican ticket. don't owe a solitary
bill in the town that / know of, except
some large amounts that are amply Sc
cured and I take some pride n the fact
that among business men in this city my
credit is exceptionally good"

ARMY MEN NO BETTER.
As Indian Agents They Are No Improve
ment Over Civilians.

As Indian Agents They Are No Improve
ment Over Civilians.
WAsHINGTON. Sept. 24.=There are now
pending i'll the interior department quite
a number of cases where some officers
having been serving as Indian agents
whose applications are on file asking to
be relieved from their present positions.
There are any number of men who are
ready and anxious to take their places.
1t is probable that upon the return of
Secretary Smith quite a number of cases
will be prepared and sent to the presi-
dent, naming civilians as successors of
several army officers. There are however,
many applications on file by army officers
who ask to be appointed TO Indian agents.
1t is probable that some of these may be
selected. The Indian authorities are
satisfied that the Indian service, taken as
a whole, is neither improved nor injured
by the appointment OF army officers as
Indian agents. In some instances the
work has been performed better by army
officers and in others not as well, 1t de
pending upon the character OF the man
and not upon his military or civil life.
1t is believed that the impress
sion has gained ground in official
circles that upon the whole the
experiment of making army officers In
dian agents has not proved a success,
and both the interior and war depart
ments would prefer to have other
rangements and that the Indians them
selves would be fully as well satisfied
with civilians.
''The Indians are no longer warlike,"
said an officer of the interior department,
s'and we can control them by civil as well
as bv military agents. To some officers
the duty Of indian agent is extremely
distasteful, while others are anxious to
serve in that capacity. 1t is often found
that the former class are efficient while
the latter are the kind Of men we don't
want Good business men, who are
clear headed and have discretion will
make good Indian agents. Plenty of
such men can be found outside of the
army"
An army officer discussing the subject
of officers as Indian agents, says there
are many officers who are very much Op-
posed to details as Indian agents because
they do not nave the opportunity TO keep
themselves in complete military training
and ready for examinations for promo
fions when ordered There are others,
he says who have become disappointed
IN the service and are eager to accept po-
sitions which separate them from the
active army life.
1t is quite probable that most Of the
vacancies occurring by the retirement of
army officers as Indian agents viii be
filled BY the appointment of civilians.
