DR.. EMBREE CONES BACK.
The Doctors Seasickness Continues After
He Gets Back.

The Doctors Seasfckness Continues After
He Gets Back.
DR.. A. S. Embree, pastor of the First
NJ. E. church. arrived in Topeka today
from his seven weeks trip abroad.
DR.. Embree stopped over few days at
Lafayette, Ind, on his way from New
Y ork, on account of sickness, but when
seen by STATE JOURNAL reporter at his
home, corner of Seventh and Taylor
streets, this afternoon was in good spirits
and said he was feeling as we'll as could
be expected under the circumstances.
In speaking about his trip and the
places he visited, DR.. Embree said: "We
had a delightful trip going over, and
had it not been for one day, when we
were between two icebergs off the coast
of New Foundland, we would have had
perfect trip. l landed at Londonderry
in the north of Ireland, at most oppor-
ment was at its highest We
landed about o'clock at night
and witnessed the professions of the
rival political parties and saw the women.
Talk about the women being a factor in
Kansas politics, why the women here
are not in it all with the women in that
country and in fact all over England.
| Even the ladies of the nobility attend
| the meetings, ride in carriages in the
4
| on their favorites.
"Although it was 9 o'clock when we
landed, it was still light. It seemed
! strange to me to be able to sit at the win
dow and read paper without artificial
| light at 9 or ten o'clock at night, but
that's the way in that country, and the
sun comes up correspondingly early in
| the morning"
Dr. Embree then told about going
| through Ireland and Scotland. then
| crossing the channel and going through
Germany and Holland, and finally COM
| ing home earlier than he had expected
on account of the difficulty in getting
/ passage later.
He said, Eve had a storm three days
coming home, and although I was not
really sea sick, was worse off than the
people who were, for my sickness lasted
until after landed. 1t was just as some
old travellers told me it would be-"
The Epworth league of DR.. Embree's
church sent him a large box full of beau
| tiful cut flowers, with card enclosed on
which was written: "Welcome Home"
The flowers were left at the house Tues
day morning, the day he was expected
home, but they were still fresh when he
! arrived today.

The Actor Has Added ''The Rivals" and
Gan Every Day Man"
TORONTO, Can, Aug. 22.-Sol Smith
Russell opens his first fall engagement
here next week.
Two new plays have been prepared
for presentation and third will be forth
coming during the winter The two
plays already prepared are can Every
Day Man." by Margaret Merrington, and
"The Rivals" by Sheridan. The noted
comedian studied the part of Bob Acres
in Stratford on Avon, and has spared no
expense in getting up the play in the
best manner possible.
The staging will be under the manage
ment of Walter Presbrev, the well
known manager, and will be all that
could be desired. The company is said
to be the best that has ever accom- panied
Mr.. Russell. The new play is now be-
ing written for him by Augustus Thom-

ward and interest the people of the state
in the enterprise, and at last nights
meeting Simon Greenspan gave 800 to-
wards that part of the movement
All of the Topeka banks, the railroads
and the big loan companies have be-
come interested in the plan and have
agreed to assist literally in carrying out
the advertising idea.
One loan company has already sub
scribed $500. 1t has been proposed to
send a circular letter to each of the
TOO banks in the state and ask each
bank to contribute not less than
$40. As each bank would no
doubt respond to the call over $1,000
could be raised from that source alone
and it is expected that every loan com
pany in the state would make its sub
scriptions up in the hundreds.
The circular letter outlining the ad-
vertising proposition, will be sent out at
once and another meeting will be held at
the Copeland next Monday evening to
form permanent organization and de-
eide on further action.
AS this is to be not a strictly Topeka
affair but Kansas movement, the STATE
JOURNAL has been authorized to extend
an invitation to interested business men
in other towns in the state to come to
Topeka and assist in the permanent or
ganiZ&tion of this movement next Mon
day night.
This is not scheme to advertise Texas
or California but Kansas and every
county in Kansas and Kansas people
ought to and no doubt will pull together
to advance the interests of the common
wealth

CAN'T GET HOME.
Two Hundred Thousand Americans in
Europe and Ships to get Home.


Europe and Ships to get Home.
LONDON, Aug. 22.-This city is crowded
with Americans anxious to get home.
The passengers who crowded the east
bound steamers during May, June and
July are attempting to return on the same
steamers westbound in a single month.
One steamship company tried this
week unsuccessfully to accommodate
marty OF ten school teachers, who will be
forced to miss the whole of the first
month of their term, and probably lose
their positions.
For the quarter beginning the 1st of
May and ending the 1st of August the
seven great steamer companies poured
Americans into Europe at the rate of
about 3 800 week, or a total roughly
estimated at $4,000. Fully 10000 more
were added by the less important lines.
Thus about $4,000 were added to the
large number of transient Americans al
ready in Europe and planning to return
in the Autumn, At the outside not over
10000 of these can possibly finds berths
in September, and a careful study made
by one of. the lines indicates that not less
than 10000 wish to sail during the month.
The steamship Offices are crowded by
anxious applicants for accommodation.
The manager of one of the lines has
saved the time and temper of his clerks
by hanging a placard on his counter,
which announces; "The ships of this line,
America bound, are full for the month
of September" There are no less than
100000 American travellers in Europe
and they have spent $130,0O0,O0O ac-
cording to careful estimates.

BOSTON CHARGES HIGH.
Windows Overlooking the Knights Tenn

Windows Overlooking the Knights Tenn
plar Parade s. to so Each.
BosToN, Aug. 22.-"I will sell you a
seat in my window for So, or let you the
whole for $780," said Washington street
milliner to reporter today.
From a tour over the route of the
knights Templar procession it appears
that everyone who has a spare window
overlooking the parade is ION the
make"
The tidy sum of $50 has been ex-
pended already in more than one in
stance for the privilege of looking out
through the open window for d few
hours on August 81. OF course, there are
exceptions and the location exception
ally good, but $25 is no uncommon price
along Columbus avenue for the use of a
parlor.
One individual complained because a
property owner charged him $40 for the
privilege of erecting a "bleacher" in
front of his brick house, but if he sue
ceeds in disposing of all his So tickets,
he can very we'll afford to go on vaca-
tion after the conclave.
Many Communicates have secured
whole houses from the windows Of which
the parade may be seen. Besides the
private enterprises, the grand encamp-
ment are erecting six grand stands, with
a total seating capacity of 7,60O and the
| local Communicates are erecting several
others. The official grand stands are to
| be located in Adams, Copley, Trinity,
! Columbus, Blackstone and Franklin
| squares and will cost $4,000.

WALLER CASE SUMMED UP.
Government Has Good Grounds for De-
cisive Action.

cisive Action.
WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-The following
is given in official circles as fair state
ment in the Waller case, so far as the
facts have been reported to the United
States: There is no doubt that while in
a country occupied by the French, Mr..
Waller wrote letters to the people, the
French were opposing. These letters were
traced to him and were made the pretext
for his arrest and conviction. This arrest
and conviction was irregular. His trial
was not fair, and during his imprison-
ment before and after conviction, he was
treated with great harshness. He was
brought to France, chained to the deck
of a steamer, and though i'll and suffer
ing he was imprisoned without proper
care.
The French government has not ex
planned in any satisfactory manner the
Irregular arrest and trial 1t has been
attempted to excuse it by saying that in
time of war military courts are different
from civil proceeding in times of peace,
but this explanation in the opinion of the
United States does not meet the case,
and in the opinion of the state depart
ment there is still strong probability that
Walters treatment was due to the con-
cession he claimed in Madagascar.
When the case was first presented to
the department of state it appeared that
there was little that could be done for
Waller. The first evidence furnished by
the French government of Walters in
discretion made his case look
doubtful, but later developments,
including the failure of the
French government to explain the
irregular proceeding of the trial and un-
necessarily harsh and inhuman treatment
of the prisoner and the demonstrated
fact that Waller had some equity rights
at least in Madagascar made his case ap-
pear in far better light. In view of
what has come to light ss a result of
later inquiries, it is held that the United
States has good ground for demanding
Waller's release and indemnity for his
wrongs.
