Special Dispatch TO the Daily Eagle.
TOPEKA, Sept. 10.-Hon. I. J. Hudson
publishes today letter giving his reasons
for declining TO make the race for congress
as the candidate of the Peoples party in
the Third Kansas district. In the letter,
which wrs addressed to the chairman of
the convention which nominated him,
Congressman Hudson explains his pecu-
mary condition which he says is the cause
Of hiswitbdrawal. His property is heavily
encountered and his holdings have rapidly
deprecated in value. while his law prac-
tlce has dwindled to nothing owing to his
congressional duties. He says his income
as congressman has proven insufficient to
meet the demands upon it.
This is what Hudson says. It is not a
fact. The reason be withdrew was sim
ply because the PopulisJs want a stronger
man to run against Kirkpatrick, the Re-
publican candidate. They did not believe
Hudson could he elected. The Populist
paper at Fredonia was fighting Hudson
and he had to get out. The withdrawal at
this time insures Republican success in
the Third.
Two years ago Hudson was nominated
by the Populists as a Democrat, turning
down Ben Clover. Then he was Endorsed
by the Democrats and was elected by 1900
majority over Ex-Governor Humphrey.
Since that time he has declared himself
Populist. Now the Democrats have w. f.
Snapp in the field and are earnestly sup
porting him.
a new convention to nominate candi-
date will be called for the 9th inst. Duns
more and State Senator Reilly are candi
dates

A Close Player.

"That fellow Jones is the closest poker
player ever sew in my life" remarked a
Market street cigar dealer after an all
night sitting at the great American game
Docs play hard game, was the con-
servative opinion of the man addressed,
Il don't mean that. don't object to a
man playing the best he knows how, but
] don't like 70 see man fall in love with
his money"
I've noticed that he would never lend
money in game"
Yes. If he's losing he always says: L
can't do it. I'm too much loser, and If
he's winning he says: No, sir. It always
knocks my luck
That is figuring it down pretty clos. 1"
"Close? Why, that's no name for himl
Why, last night we had played five hours,
and he was S1.75 loser. My cigar went
out, and 1 asked him for a light from his.
He shook his head and said: 'Uh, uh.
Can't do it. I'm too much loser. '"-Ssn

A Curious Collection.

A well known Leeds banker possesses
an immense number of different bank
notes issued at various times by banks
that have como to grievous smash and
which have involved thousands of persons
in their ruin. Not alone are bank notes
included in this curious collection of rel
les of broken banks, which must start a
world of painful reflections in CONNER
cial community, but also bonds relating
to celebrated undertakings which have
proved sources Of immense loss to specu-
lators, these including scrip" of the
South sea bubbles, of many of the schemes
of Hudson, the railway king, and of the
Tichborne bond enterprise. So far as the
bank notes are concerned, it is astonishing
TO see what a large number of establish
ments they refer TO, and the whole collec-
ton represents the names of schemes
which have drained the investing public
of hundreds of millions sterling. The col
lector relates that on several occasions Wis
itors who have seen the collection have,
on coming to some particular note, burst
into tears, for they have been directly con-
nected with the ruin wrought by the crash
indicated by that same note.-Corphin

A Roumauiau Custom.

a strange custom IS still observed in
Roumania which reminds one strongly
of Robinson Crusoe When a servant has
displeased his or her master, the offender
takes his boots in bis hands and places
them before the bedroom door OF his mas
ter. II Is sign Of great submission, and
the boots are either kicked away as an il
timaJion that the fault viii not be forgiv-
en- or else the servant is told 70 place them
On his feet, which shows that he is forgiv-

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The California
| turfman, Monroe Salisbury, was today ex-
| PEELED from the trotting turf by john ID.
Barry, Henry Hughes and Thomas Egbert,
judges of the postponed 2:16 race which
brought the grand circuit meeting in New
York to n close The offeuse for which
this severe measure was melted out
as punishment was Mr. SAlisbury's alleged
| removal of the trotting mare Expressive
from the Fleetwood track without the per-
mission of the judges. Expressive started
in the 2:16 class race which was begun on
Friday last, two heats being trotted before
darkness came on to cause postponement.
The mare was heavily backed as fsvorite
and her chance to win was regarded as ex-
tremely good, although Strontia won the
first heat and Judge Austin beat her in
the second. When she was taken away
| from the track on Saturday night her
hackers were left in the lurch, as the bets
stood just the same AS if the mare was on
hand to trot it out. Thousands OF dollars
were thus lost without giving the betters
a show for their money. 1t was proposed
to call the race up on Saturday, and an
effort WAS mad e to bring about compro-
mise among the horsemen concerned by
which The money could be divided and
the race declared of. Every body agreed
to this except the owner of Judge Austin,
who felt confident of winning the race.
The race was carried over until today.
The owner OF Expressive had an engage
ment for his mare in Terre Haute, Ind,
this week and wanted TO get away from
New York at once. He therefore shi pped
Expressive along with his other horses and
she did not respond. TO the Harvesting

she was legally in the hands of the
Officials
1t was reported that Henry Hughes had
admitted that he had consented to Sails
bury's withdrawal of Expressive, after the

by Judge Austen, who fairly outtrotted
Rose Leaf and the others in both heats,

MAINE Is ALL RIGHT.
Votes the Biggest Republican Majority
IN It's History

AUGUSTA, Me. Sept. lot has been a
good day for Republicans and a cor
fespon6ingly bad one for Democrats, but
The result was not altogether unforeseen
To rain and general apathy is due the light
vote, and though the Democrats admit de-
feat they do not show symptom
of encouragement. The Prohibitionists
and Populists are not largely in evidence
80 far as returns indicate. A heavy rain
put a quietus upon the telegraph and tele-
phone wires early in the evening, but re-
turns have been received from over 100
cities and towns and these indicate that
the state has reelected Governor Cleaves
Republican, over Charles T. johnson
Democrat) by majority which will ex-
reed A. GOO the largest in the
history of their party. The Repub-
licans have carried every county in
the state and at IL o'clock II is estimated
that the legislature will have n working
Republican ma jority of lbs. which insures
the reelection of Senator William p. Frye
Thomas B. Reed has been reelected 10
congress Ivy plurality estimated at 10. 600.
Nelson Dingley, Seth II. Mlligan and Ii.
Bontelle are also reelected to congress by
majorities ranging from 5000 TO Q COO The

THE FATE OF MOUNT BANDAI.
1t Was Blown OF the Face of the Earth by
an Explosion.

1t Was Blown OF the Face of the Earth by
an Explosion.
Previous to July Is, 1888, Mount Ban
dai, a tine cleft peak T. 500 feet in height,
was the most conspicuous object in the
mountain range lying from 100 to $50
miles north Of Tokyo, the chief city Of ia
pan. On the day mentioned it was liter
ally trent in twain" and blown off the
face Of the EARTH by the expansive power
Of steam which had generated within it.
From the earliest times Of which there
is any record streams of cold water had
been plunging under the peak on one side
and escaping in the shape of steam and
boiling hot water on the other. That the
escape valve was not sufficient to let off
all the steam generated in the passage of
the water. through the redhot interior of
the peak is evident because Of the fact that
when the pressure became too great the
sides of the mountain yielded, just as a
boiler would have done under like cir
cumstances, and an immense explosion
was the result
The explosion is said to have been heard
a distance Of over !, 900 miles and to have
caused absolute darkness in the vicinity
of the exploded peak upward of three
NuACl pSIISCb IOEICIllo
of hot water and mud were poured down
from the immense heights to which they
had been hurled by the force of the 'pent
up furies" which caused the disaster.
The debris which fell after the explosion
covered an area of about II, 900 acres to a
depth varying from 10 to 100 feet on an
average, and in one place where beauti-
full valley had existed but few hours be-
fore rock sand mud were piled up to the
height Of 900 feet. Three villages were
engulfed in the ruins, and at least 500 in
habitants killed by falling debris or drown
ed and cooked in the torrents of boiling
mud, which flowed down a valley to a
distance of nine miles.
These facts were CLEANED from a report
made by visiting committee appointed by
the University of Tokyo.-St. Louis Re.
