The Santa Fe Said to Be i'm Really
DeSDerate Straits

| TOPEKA, Kans, Oct. 22-"The meeting
Of the Santa Fe directors in Topeka next
Thursday has absolutely no significance
whatever" said Joseph &. Waters, FORM
erly general attorney for the Santa Fe
! Companys 10 reporter to-day. Mr.
| waters Is EN- mblttered against the manage
ment OF the Santa Fe and continued: "The
two reorganization committees are sup
posed by most people TO represent directly
the vast wealth involved in the Santa Fe
properly, but they DO not. They are sim
ply seeking desperately to get the people
| who hold stock to submit to more assess
ments Tor the purpose of keeping up
formal but expensive organization. The
directors get no salaries and have abso-
lutely no voice in the management of the
road, except in an indirect way, as their
wishes may have some weight with Judge
Caldwell and the receivers. The road is
completely out OF their control The di-
rectors even had to 20 to Judge Caldwell
and beg to get a $4,000 appropriation 10
pay the expenses of the Topeka meeting.
Judge Caldwell has said that the Santa
Fe property must be foreclosed before
long. He has expressed himself as being
wearied of having the road on his hands,
and it must either go into the hands of the
! first m ortgagees or prove itself capable of
running without receiver. The latter is
impossibe. The road will be foreclosed
within year and the mortgages will as.

Continuing, Mr.. Waters said: "The
company Will probably be reorganized
under the laws of the State Of Illinois in-
stead of Kansas, which means that the
headquarters of the road will be trans
ferred from Topeka to Chicago"
NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-It is now definitely

The fact that the japanese military

a material impulse has been given to

accepted as being equivalent to an official

The editorial in question declares that
certain bushwhacking papers have created
serious dissension in the party by the pub

statements, and there is one to the effect
that Cleveland will do nothing toward

ARKANSAS CITY. Oct. 22-Reports just
coming in tell of the ravages of tornado
of no small proportions which struck
Gueda Springs. eight miles west on the
Arkansas River, late Saturday evening
Much damage was done to farm houses
and crops and it is feared that serious re-
ports will be received when telegraph
communication comes up. As far as
known there were no fatalities, but two
people are known to have been injured.
The property loss will aggregate nearly
100000.
The tornado struck Gueda Springs from
the southwest. continuing in a north
easterly direction till it reached Winfield
before spending its force. In its course it
laid low farm houses, outbuildiDgs, crops
and trees. In Gueda Springs, the spring
bathhoGse, which cost 100000, was par
tially wrecked; the Albright two-story
brick block was unrOofed and the stores of
Nj. A. Wells and Tom Royal were totally
destroyed. HubbelPs business block and
The Gilbert block also suffered minor losses.
A Mrs. BO0kwalter was caught in the
wreck of the bathhouse and almost buried
beneath a pile of bricks and mortar.
Miraculously. however, she escaped serious
injury. DR.. Dufield was seriously hurt,
but not fatally, by being thrown from his
buggy. The aggregate money loss at this
point is about 5000
At Salt City, hamlet near Gueda
Springs, mneh damage was done, but no
one was injured. L. Weller, living two
miles west, got his family into his cyclone
cave and had just closed the door when
the house topped over. They were inn
prisoned for twelve hours. but finally
escaped without suffering injury. From
this point through the country to Winfield
the storm was about two miles wide. In
that stretch are many fine farms, and
many farmers lost part or all of their
crops.

six small houses were blown down and
several business houses were unroofed.

In connection with this talk Of peace the
japan Gazette of late date says: The
question now arises VIII ether the powers
should or should not intervene to stor
this most unjust war. With the fall
of Ping Yang the Chinese can hardly
make another stand of any conse-
quence in Korea itself, but they will
mass large number of men on the banks
of the Yalu River. With the Chinese out o.
Korea, will it be necessa 10 continue this
sickening slaughter? There is no doubt
atKorea needs reform and since Japan is
willing to undertake ii, and has practi-
cally succeeded in exDelling Chinese, il
would be just as well to permit
her to complete the task in
peace. From the British point of view
Japan would make splendid
foil TO Russian Vaccinations, and if she
once got a foOthold in Korea could be
depended upon to prevent the Russians
acquiring any of the Korean ports. If
the war is continued it must in the long
run be productive of the most disastrous
results. The march upon the Yalu River
will take at least another month,

and gauging the marching capabilities of
the Japanese army by the time it took to
get from Seoul to Ping Yang winter will be
upon it almost before il reaches the river.
Must Eastern trade be paralyZed during the
coming winter. when the concession to
japan of her claims would permit it TO
resume its normal course?
Along the same lines the North China
Gazette has this: 1t is getting late In the
year, and the uch-spoken-of Japanese
attack on Peking becomes more and more
difficult this year, if not improbable In
1860 the allied armies OF Great Britain and
France made their appearance off the
mouth of the Peibo, determined to carry
war to the very gates of PeKing and
make the Chinese feel the supremacy of
western armies. The Chinese Govern
ment opposed the invading force, mum mber-
ing in all about 10000 men, by an immens 9
army led by the famous SeDg Koling Seng.
They gave unexpected evidence of resolu-
tion and courage, but all their efforts
proved frnitless. As the coDquerors ap-
preached Peking the Emperor fled in great
haste to Tartary. 30 runs the brief
history of thirIy-fOur years ago, but we

wild rumors reported yesterday from st.

wilder forms. From Moscow comes a re-
port that there are people there who in
sist that the CZarewitcb has refused to
ascend the throne, and that the Gar. in
order TO compel him to do so, has insisted
upon bis immediate marriage TO Princess
Alix. The Muscovites fear that should
the rumOrs prove true they will have 10
face the grayest peril possible. While the
people crowd the churches to pray for the
Car, the fears that the rumor had bred
give fervor TO the petitions.
The Cologne Gazette prints ST. Peters
burg telegram stating that the Gar has
given orders for a settlement of the sue
cession to the Imperial Council. He has
advised that Grand Duke George, his Sec
ord son, should. on account of his health,
renounce bis claim to the crown in favor
OF Grand Duke Michael, who ought TO
take the oath as heir -presumptiye to the
throne.
The Berlin Tageblatt published a tele-
gram from Livada asserting that the De-
irOthal of the Czarewitch and Princess
AK will formally occur tomorrow and
that the marriage will be celebrated on
Wednesday. This Fastening of the cere-
m0ny is said to be due to the rule of the
Romanoffs requiring any heir apparent to
marry before ascending the throne and TO
proclaim his successor. On this account
the proclamation of Grand Duke Michael
as the ultimate heir apparent is generally
expected. Another rule 10 accordance
with The accession requires that when the
oath of allegiance of a new Car is aG-
ministered to the troops and officials an
oath Of fidelity to the heir apparent must

LONDON. Oct. 23.-The Standards ST.
Petersburg correspondent sends the fol-
lowing message: T0-day's bulletin is of
the same unsatisfactory nature as the for
mer ones. Every body is surprised that no
mention is made of the pulse or tempera-
ture. In short, there is no clew as to
what the disease is from which the Gar is
suffering. It is rumOted that an operation
Is contemplated. Another story has it
that the malady is expected to reach
crisis within the next day or two, but as to
what the operation or malady are even the
best Informed are ignorant.
The Official Gazette announces that
Princess AliX arrived at Livadia this after
noon but does not publish word about the
marriage. From what l can LEAN, no
marriage is likely, but there will be a
species of formal betrothal which will
receive the benedIction of the Car, and
which, it is understood, will effeclually
bind the CzaTewitch a0d Princess until
there can be a wedding ceremony with the
pomp BETTING the union.
A dispatch TO the Times from St. Peters
