REYNOLDS RESIGNATION.

Who Will Succeed to the WaKeeney
ReceiTership?
A Washington dispatch says: "The
commissioner of the general land Office
found on his desk this morning a mes
sage from Colonel Reynolds resigning
the position as receiver Of the land of
fee at WaKeeney, Kan. This is the
resignation called for by the commits
siOner some time ago, which was
covered in these dispatches Senator
Martin also received some messages to-
day from Kansas on the same matter.
They started out with the hope that the
senator would induce the commissioner
not to accept the resignation, while
others had something to say about who
ought to have the place. Senator Mar
tin thinks, however, the commissioner
viii accept the resignation. Then it ap-
pears that the senator will be compelled
to get down to the painful work of nam
ing some man for receiver. So far he
has prominent in his mind the applica-
ton of Henry o. Oshant of Hays City,
and W. E. Saum of WaKeeney. He had
not yet decided which one he viii favor,
1t is understood that Tully Scott of
Oberlin, would like to have the place
and it is intimated that Scott is some
what interested in it and possibly the
senator himself viii be after pie in due
time. A compromise feature is offered
by some which would bring to the sen
ator certain support in the state to aid
him in near at hand matters.

Feeding Of Wheat.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The Farmers Re
view says: Reports have been received
by the Review from correspondents in
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Ken
lucky, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa, Wisconsin. Minnesota and the
Dskotas on the extent to which wheat
is being fed to cattle. In some parts Of
Illinois wheat has been fed largely. es-
pecially where markets are not easily
reached, or where other feed crops are
short. In other parts less has been fed
than in some other other states, appar-
emily because Of the ease with which
the markets are reached and also be-
cause no other farm product is found
so salable So "a good many counties
report lii'le or nu wheat being fed
Iudiaua ia fseiiug probably little
larger propor, .o8, AL in some of the
counties third Of the crop will he dis
posed of in this way. Ohio is feeding
the crop freely and in localities moro
wheat than corn is being fed. Over a
large part of the state half of the crop
will be marketed in the form OF live
stock, and there are counties where the
proportion Of the crop fed will be not
less than 70 per cent. In Michigan the
amount fed varies greatly, some c0un-
ties feeding none aud others nearly all
Of the wheat crop. Reports OF 30 and
20 per cent being fei are quite cam-
mon. Kentucky reports large quaati-
ties being fed, aud soma counties viii
thus dispose Of half Of their crop. Mis-
souri, reports a like condition. Kansas
and Nebraska are feeding very largely
the low price making it a very econo-
micaI feod. In some counties in Iowa
it is being fed largely, even up to half
Of thu crop, but in other counties it is
receiving little attention as feed. In
Wisconsin. Michigan and tho Dakotas
considerably IS being fed. but the prac-

PEACE TERMS FOR THE CHINESE
Papers Discuss What Japan Must
Demand From China.
JAPAN's LOSSES AND CAPTURES
A Japanese Paper Gives a Summary Of
LOsseS.-Chinese Routed Near
Halt Cheng.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Recent news
paper mail advices received here from
Jopan show that the question of the
terms of peace that Japan will demand
from China is fruitful subject of dis
cussiOn by the native press. Opinions
however, differ regarding these terms,
and while some journals condemn,
others are more specific in their de-
mands than usual. One paper asserts
that FormCsa, so important from
commercial and military point of view,
must at all events be taken. After
detailing what an immense expenditure
must be incurred in Japan in support
ing Corea and protecting japanese in
terests in the north of China following
the war, the papers declare that For
mOsa will have to be annexed as
resource from which to draw receipts
at least equal to the prospective ex-
penditures. Another paper enters a
strong protest against the claims ad-
Vanced that China must surrender ter
ritory entirely out of proportion to the
objects for which the war was under
taken.
a Japanese paper gives q summary
of the losses of the japanese and Chi
nese armies up to Nov. 3, exclusive of
the battles at Fung Wang Chang, Kin
Chan, Talienwan and at Port Arthur.
This shows that the Japanse lost about
$50 killed and S35 wounded, while the
Chinese lost about 1900 killed and 1850
wounded, and 1900 of them were made
ceptives. The Japanese have also taken
225 csnnons besides many other arms
100000 cartridges, besides enough
ammunition to last a month, firing with
10000 rifles; 1888 banners and 8 400 tents
1000 horses, 100000 taels worth of
gold and silver, 1895 annie coins,
2,413 koku of rice, $3.50 koku of IN
hulled rice, and in addition sufficient
food to last an army of 10000 men three
days.
The Chinese have lost Is vessels, a
torpedo boat, five men-of-war and one
Of their war vessels captured. which
makes total tonnage of $3.50 tons.
The number killed and wounded on
the japanese side at Port Arthur is es-
timated at over 400, while the enemy's
loss is estimated at 5000.
A telegram from Yokohama states
that General Kasura, on Dec. 10, at
tackled General Lungs position seven
miles west of Halt Cheng. The position
was defended by 10000 Chinese who
were routed after four assaults. The
losses are not stated.

THEY ARE RIVALS OF the TURKS
Horrible Atrocities PerpetFRted on
Georgia Negroes
BETTER CLASSES ARE INDIGNANT
CsrOaer's Jury Reader Z Verdict That
Samuel Taylor was MurduFsd
by Judge Gilman.

QUrTMAN, Ga, Dec. 23.-The lives Of
seven negroes have been taken in the
last twenty-fouF hours in revenge for
that Of one Whits man, and unless all
signs fail utterly, many more lives are
in jeopardy.
Two bodies Of determined men, BE-
tween 400 aud 500 in all, every man
heavily armed and each body about
equal in numerical strength to the
other, separated by less than a mile Of
country and liable to clash at any min
ute-that is the spectacle presented
here in Brooks county tonight,
One body is made up of stern, deter
mined white men, bent on revenge for
the brutal murder of one of the best
citizens of this county. The other is
made up of negroes, terror stricken and
fearful lest they and their families be
made the objects of the same fate as
has already befallen seven OF their
number and ready to defend themselves
from such fate as we'll as they may be
able. What the next twenty-four hours
will bring forth no one can predict
That there will be an open clash seems
very probable at this writing. The
authorities are pOWerless and practi-
cally no efforts have yet been made to
bring about peace, save by the relatives
of the man whose murder is the cause
of it all.
