The Free Land Colony.

Negotiations are still proceeding for
the establishment of the free land col
ony in east Africa, where it is intended
to attempt, on scale never before con-
templated, to carry out the idea Of a So
cialist community. The district selected
is on the Lykipia plateau, near Mount
Kenia, in the British sphere of influence.
An offer has been made to the British
foreign Office to purchase large tract
on the condition that. while the commu-
nifty shall be subject to the general laws
which the British government may i'm
pose, it shall have absolute freedom to
regulate its internal affairs on social
istic basis. It is said that the British
government is averse to giving absolute
rights of ownership in the land. but the
organizers are apparently in earnest.
They have secured as leader Herr Den.

Record Breaking Operation Performed b,

Record Breaking Operation Performed by
arkansas City Surgeon.
Local surgeons discussed with much
interest yesterday the account which was
telegraphed from Chicago to The Times
Of the skin grating operation being per-
formed upon Mrs. w. ". Blake at the
Mercy hospital. The dispatch stated that
- square inches Of cuticle had been
taken from Mr.. Blake's body and sue
cessfully grated upon his wife's arms,
and added that this was the largest
quantity of skin ever sacrificed by one
person for the benefit of another.
The latter statement is possibly cor
rect, but q similar operation Of much
greater difficulty and magnitude has just
been performed at the Missouri Pacific
hospital in this city by DR.. George Hamel.
The patient is man named Mccarthy,
who was injured recently in a railway
accident, and DR.. Hamel found it neces-
sary to remove no less than 25s square
inches Of skin from various parts of the
mans body and graft it upon his injured
legs. Each piece Of skin was about three
inches long and from one to two inches
wide. The operation has been success
full in every respect, and although Nc
Carthy is still in the hospital he is de-
tanned there by other injuries than to his
legs. The quantity of skin used in this
case is said to be much greater than any
other known to surgical records. +.
Mccarthy has been visited by many
physicians, and his case has excited much
interest. He will be discharged from the
hospital within a few days.-Kansas City

HIS ATER A D lis ION

NEW YORK, June I4.-when the trial of
Erastus wiman, charged with the forgery
of checks, was resumed today. Assistant
District Attorney Wellman asked permis-
sion to cross-examine Mr.. wiman in refer
ence TO letter of which Mr.. Wiman held
an alleged copy In his hand. The letter was
written in pencil and covered six pages of
fcolscap. Only the day before Mr.. Wiman
declared that it was not his custom to make
copies of his confidential communications.
Isn't 1t strange" asked Mr.. Wellman,
that man so busy as you must have been
at that time should take the trouble to
make a copy of such long letter.

but i did not care that he should become
acquainted with the contents of the letter"
But you could have written the letter
in ink and had it letter copied, couldn't

myself of this
Mr.. Dun was then called by Gen. Tracy
and asked if he had any recollection of re-
ceiving a letter such as Mr.. Wiman pur-
ported TO have d copy of.
Mr.. Dun wss sure that he never had re-
ceived such letter.
Gen. Tracy insisted that Mr.. Dun should
go over the letter more carefully, and while
he did SO Mr.. Wiman again went On the
stard and gave, In detail. a list of real es-
tate owned by him during the years 1S9l-.2- :
93. The real estate amounted to little less
than $J00.00O, and, in addition. Mr.. Wiman
told of large holdings Of stocks and bonds
and other equities.
Mr.. Dun having got through Mr.. Wi
mans letter, he was recalled to the stand
and admitted that after careful perusal Of
the copy, he thought he had received such
letter from Mr. Wiman. 1t was afterward
said that the defense had in its possession
letter from Mr.. Dun acknowledging the
receipt of Mr.. Wiman's letter.
Again Mr.. Wiman took the stand and

GOING TO SAMOA.
A Cruiser to he Sent There by Our
Government.

The United States. being morally re-
sponsible in conjunction with Great Britain
and Germany, for the proper government
of the Samoan Islands. IL has been deemed
advisable to send war ship there to assist
the vessels of the other two contracting
Parties, i'm suppressing the prevailing revo-
luton against King Maletoa. The serious
state of affairs in that country calls for
immediate action on the part of this gov
ernment, under its alliance with Great
Britain and Germany. regardless of the
attitude of the present administration
against continuance OF the present ar
rangement The treaty provides for the
preservation of the autonomy of the islands
under existing conditions by the three
treaty-making powers, and the responsible
fty of the United States holds good until
gated.
The country is in the throes of a reyolu-
ton, and the stability Of the government
is seriously threatened. Great Britain and
Germany each have two war ships on the
ground eager 10 seize any ADVANTAGE that
n ay present itself. The United States is
strong in civil officers at Samoa but they
are entirely without armed protection Not
wlthstanding the apparent willingness Of the
administration TO relinquish all interest in
the islands, the President is said to recog-
nize the necessity of fulfilling our obliga-
tions there under the triple alliance and
accordingly has directed that a war ship
be sent there as soon as practicable to see
that American rights and interests are
properly respected
The vessel most likely to be selected for
this service is the cruiser Boston, which is
now undergoing extensive repairs at the
Mare Island navy yard, near San Fran
cisco. This vessel has been out of COM
mission since her return from Honolulu.
where she was stationed during the mo-
n.entous events attending the overthrow of
the Hawaiian monarchy i'm which her Off
GERS and crew played such an important
and highly creditable part She is one of
the Roach cruisers" and is a sister ship
TO the Atlanta. She has cruised in almost
every part of the world. and has a highly
creditable record. Capt. Higg1nson will be
her commanding officer On her next cruise.
and II Is believed her departure will not
be long delayed. There is possibility,
however. that the Marion, which has Just
returned from China. may be selected for
this mission.

THE BILL APP ROVED
Representatives Of Commercial Interests
Favor the Patterson Bill.
Amending the Interstate Commerce
Discussed-COmm Appointed.

At the afternoon session of the convention
of commercial interests at the rooms of the
interstate commerce commission yesterday
a resolution was passed approving the Pat
terson bill. now before Congress, which
makes certain important amendments to
the interstate commerce law.
Considerable attention was given TO the
first section of the bill, which permits COM
mon carriers to enter into contracts, agree
ments or arrangements enforcible between
them. The main objection pointed out by
the delegates was to the parentheticai
clause. which has not been disapproved,"
referring to contracts, the operation OF
which the commission is to observe. 1t was
held generally in the argument that this
clause was ambiguous. The argument was
participated in by ex-Gov Francis, Charles
Heber Clark, Jerome Carly of Philadelphia
and Commissioners Morrison and Knapp.
During the discussion Representative Pat
terson, who was instrumental in framing
the bill, reviewed TO some extent its salient
features, and presented the reasons which
appeared to him desirable why the ieSisia-
tion should be enacted into law. Represen-
tative Storer. also prominent in framing
the bill, spoke briefly in its support
Jerome Carty of Philadelphia submitted
his views on the wisdom of legalizinS con-
tracts between the various trunk lines as
to division of freight and passenger traffic.
subject to supervision of the interstate
commerce commission. In urging the pas
sage of the bill ne spoke of the right of the
public to just and reasonable rates, and of
the carriers to reasonable and just compen-
satiOn for tAeSr service.
John X. CoWeu, counsel for the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. spoke of the freedom OF
contracts made between the railroads, and
Chas. =. Hatch of laselphia, character
lied the period since 1SSJ' as an era of dis
honesty. The placing of a large number of
railroads into the hands of receivers was
attributed by John Field of the Philadelphia
Business Mems Union to excessive watering
Of stocks companies being frequently capi-
talized at more than double their value, in
evitably resulting in failure.
John A. Ganno of Cincinnati, representing
merchants usually take advantage of the
railroads, and honesty on the part of both
would result in the uselessness of the inter-
state commerce commission. well as of
the various mercantile associations. EN-
Governor David r. Francis of Missouri
spoke in favor of the bill.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
supporting the Patterson bill, and late in
the afternoon the convention adjourned.
The following permanent committee was APP
pointed to confer with representatives of
various associations and transportation in
terests in securing passage of amendments
to the interstate commerce laws: Allen

WAR DEPARTMENT CHANGES.
Not So Many Officers Relieved az Was
Expected.

The first order in execution of the pro-
posed reorganization of the military estab-
lshment of the War Department was is
sued today. 1t was not nearly so disas-
trous as was apprehended by the officers on
duty in Washington. Under Secretary La
monts recent order bureau officers were
limited to two assistants. There are more
than that number in nearly every bureau,
and 1t was supposed that each would suffer
the loss of all above the limit. If that plan
had been carried out fully twenty officers
would have been relieved from duty in
Washington.

the original plan could not be put into oper-
alton without serious injury to the service.
The duties performed by most of the off,
GERS are technical and important. and can
not be rendered by persons lacking a MILL

The order issued today relieves Lieut.
Col. Merritt Barber and Lieut. Col VIM ]
Maj. j. c. Merrill, assistant surgeon gen.
eral, from further duty at the War Depart
ment, and assigns them to other duty. Col
Barber will take station at Omaha for duty

THE WOOL QUESTION,
Democrats May he Compelled to Put

There Is a possibility that the democrats
In the Senate may yet be compelled to put
some duty on wool. 1t appears that some
OF the democrats are in favor of a duty,
and they are encouraging the republicans
with the hope that 1t may be secured as a
concession to get the bill through. if the
minority holds out. 1t is this that accounts
for so stiff a fight being made by the re-
publcans after they were about on the
point of giving up. 1t was said today that
the fight would be kept up until some con-
cession was made. The democrats have
been trying to break the alliance betw cen
the wool men and the wooden manufactur-
ers, by holding out the temptation of high
protection and free raw material to the
latter. They have found out thus far how
ever, that no concessions which did not in
clude some benefit to the wool growers
would be considered. The New England
Senators nave refused to go back on the
farmers, and they are very hopeful of get
ting the wool duty,
