Again Appointed to Mexican Mission
All Legal Obstacles Removed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The White
house mail this morning bore the COM
mission of Matt. w. Ransom to be United
States minister to Mexico The commits
sion was dated Aug. "a. This ends a
legal complication by which Minister
Ransom after several months service at
his post at the City of Mexico, was de-
clared Ineligible to fill the Office TO
which he had been appointed prior to
the expiration of his term as United
States senator.
It was held by the treasury accounting
officers that he fell within a constitu-
tional inhibition against the appointment
of congressman to offices created, or
whose emoluments had been increased
during their service In congress.
1t has been generally understood that
Mr. Ransom would be promptly reap
pointed and the slight delay which has
occurred presumably has been for the
purpose of definitely ascertaining that
there was no more legal or other obsta-
cles in the way of remaining Mr. Ran
som to the Mexican mission. The minis
ter was in Washington few days ago
but is now in North Carolina recuper-
ating from an attack of illness due in
! part to the climate of the City of Mexico

Bremen HAVEN Aug. 27-The Ger
man American war veterans were aw ard
ed a warm reception on their arrival by
the veterans association of this city and
by delegations from other veteran asso-
Citations from different parts of Germany.
President Hinch of the union of com
rades in arms met them on board the
Fulda and greeted the visitors in a brief
but powerful address
The Americans then landed at the
quay, where the veterans were assem- bled,
with the band of the marine artillery on
their right. The visiting veterans were
marshaled opposite the others, and Herr
Book, president OF the lower Weser dis
trist, made q patriotic and enthusiastic
speech, concluding with calling for
cheers for the emperor. The marine
band then played the national anthem,
and the veterans joined IN the words.
Herr SchmecheI afterwards responded
for the Americans and called for cheers
for Bremen Haven, which were heartily
given
The different veteran associations then
marched to Lloyd hall where the Amer
lean representatives handed TO the presi-
dents of the German associations the
American medals. The visiting veterans
left Bremen Haven at $50 p. N. after re-
ceiving commemorative medals struck
| for the occasion by the senate.

l DOWNRIGHT RAID
The Militia Picnic at Emporia AL
most q Steal.
NO ALLOWANCE FOR SUCH PURPOSE.

The $4,000 Appropriation Ter the
Militia is for Actual Service in the
Field Not for Holiday Jaune.
The present state administration seems
determined TO use the $4,000 actual ser
vice fund of the Kansas national guard
for holiday ja1nt for the militia boys
in the form of a state encampment
There have been no state encampments
held since 1886 because the Legislatures
since that time have not seen fit to vote
several thousand dollars to pay for q
militia blowout
The last two encam pments, those of
1886 and 1888 cost the state $21, 800 and
that expense was provided for in spec
ial levy made by the legislature. This
levy was collected in the years 1885,
1887 and 1888 and the unexpended por-
ton was turned into the general militia
fund.
Ex-Governor John A. Martin called
the attention of the legislature to the
fact that the state militia could not hold
state encampments as required by law
unless a special appropriation was made
for that purpose, but the Legislature
made no appropriation and the result
was the state sncampments were discon-
tinued
Ex-Adjutant General A B. Campbell,
called the attention of ne legislature to
this state of affairs in 1888 and again in
1890 and Ex-Adjutant General j. n.
Roberts made mention of the fact in his
report in 1892 yet the legislature refused
u make appropriations to cover the
militia jaunL
ne present administration, since OBJ
lection has been made to the use of the
actual service fund for a state encamp
ment. has made the claim that it is
necessary to hold a state encampment i'll
order to get the annual allowance of
supplies from the general government
which is made TO every state having an
organized militia force.
That this claim is unfounded is shown
BY the fact that the government has
every year turned over TO the state sup
plies to the amount OF about $4,000 when
It has been known everywhere that state
encampments were not held.
1t is hard to understand how the
militia laws can be 80 construed as TO
allow the use of the actual service fund
for q state encampment when the law
says plainly the fund shall be used to
pay for actual service in time of war,
instruction, invasion, or eminent dan
ger thereof
The actual service fund was drawn
upon in 1890 to pay for the Stevens
county campaign when Judge Theo
Botkin and his followers caused the
southwestern border of the state trouble,
which cost the state about $4,000.
1t is possible that State Auditor Geo.
E. Cole, who it can be said to his credit
is earning the title of the watchdog of
the Kansas state treasury" will not see
his way clear to honor the warrants
which are drawn on the actual service
fund to pay for this militia outing which
is to be held at Emporia next week.

MIR. PECK'S GREAT SUCCESS
a Number of His Notable Legal Victories
RecOunted.


RecOunted.
Iu connection with the account of the
resignation of George r. Peck, the Chi
cago lines Herald prints the following:
Though Mr.. Peck started at the bot
tom of the ladder as lawyer in a coun-
try town in Kansas. he has become one
of the most conspicuous and successful
railroad attorneys in the United States
The general counsel of one Of the rich
esr railways in the country. in discussing
railways and the law" last winter in
New York, said he believed Mr.. Peck to
have achieved more pronounced victor
les for his company than any other rail
road lawyer.
He then referred to the celebrated
Denver and New Orleans case which
Mr.. Peck won in the United States su-
preme court in 1892, after one of the
most stubborn and expensive contests
known in railway litigation. In this case
the Denver and New Orleans railway,
now called the Denver and Fort Worth,
sought to compel the Santa Fe com pany
to give it the same division of through
rates which it had given rival road
the Denver and Rio Grande,
Another hard fight which Mr.. Peck
won was the Venner suit to prevent the
Santa Fe company from extending its
line from Kansas City to Chicago. G. Fl.
Venner, Boston broker and stakeholder,
brought this suit in 1887 and it was
fought stubbornly on both sides, and in
spite of almost hopeless antagonism Mr.
Peck won it and Chicago got the Santa
Fee railway. Mr.. Peck's greatest fight,
and the one which fixed his place among
the railway lawyers, was the Frisco case
in 1891. In this case Eastman, a stock
holder of the Frisco, sought to enj0in the
sale of that road to the Santa Fe on the
ground that they were parallel and
competing lines. When Mr.. Peck won
! this fight the directors of the Santa Fe
Company were SO much pleased with
the victory that they told Mr.. Peck tc
take friend and 90 to Europe at the
| company's expense. He did so, taking
| w. II. Rossington, of Topeka They
| didn't see anyone they knew in Europe
| got homesick aud came back in a few
months laden with books aud curios, but
better satisfied than ever with America
The Frisco case was such a notable
victory that it would have satisfied the
ambition OF many lawyers, but it didn't
satisfy Mr.. Peck, and he got into other
cases. In one of these, which is pend
| ing now IN the supreme court, the
United States is the plaintiff L
is the suit by which the government
sought to wipe out the TEausmissonr
! Traffic association, comprising all the
railways west of the Missouri The
government declared it to be trust pro
hibited by the Sherman antitrust law
In this case Mr.. Peck, besides represent
! ing the Santa Fe, represeut ed the North
western, aud took a prominent part il
J the argument The interests of one
company were as great as the Interests
of the other.
Mr. Peck's last big victory was the
| Atlantic aud Pacific case in New Mexico
last week. The stockholders of the At
lantic and Pacific sought to have il
taken from the hands of the present re-
ceivers. Mr. Peck won the case for the
| receivers.

The Cleveland Plaindealer publishes
every day several designs for the pro-

adopted IN that city. One of the most
striking is a coat Of arms on an oak leaf,
the central flower, or leaf containing the
picture of a bee hive, represents the
city's industries-and provident storing
of wealth. The crest. ship, represents
the commerce and marine interests. The
motto, ''Ionir en- bisn," may be translated

MR.. BAUERSCHMITT'S CASE
He Begins Packing Up Goods Today and
Has to Be Locked Up.

Probate Judge Wood this morning is
sued an order for the commitment Of
Charles Bauerschmitt, who was yester-
day declared insane, to the county jail
until he could find out from the asylum
whether there is room for him there.
This was done at the request of Mr.
Bauerschmitt's family.
It was thought yesterday afternoon
that it would not be necessary to have
him placed in the institution. Upon re-
turning to his store, however, he ag ain
busted himself in packing up the goods
for shipment and this morning worked
with a will as he took down the boxes of
shoes in the back of his store and packed
them away, With some difficulty be
was persuaded to leave those in the front
part of the store.
MF. Baeurschmitt is afflicted with soft.
ening of the brain and the doctors say it
is not safe for him to be free, as be is
liable to become worse at any time
within few days, in fact.
