DIPHTHERIA GAINING.

Thirteen Cases, Mostly Due to Wet Hot
Weather and Low Ground.
There is more diphtheria in Topeka
now than there has been for many months
and the cases have been increasing so
rapidly as to alarm the city board of
health. During the past day or two there
has been a lull in the spread of the dis
ease and there are now two cases less
than two days ago. The total number of
cases now in quarantine is thirteen.
Almost all the cases are east of the
Santa Fe tracks, and all, with single
exception. are on low ground. The doc
tors say the disease is probably caused
bv the very wet and hot weather. Most
of the cases are light but there was q
death in North Topeka yesterday.

BOSTON, Aug. 3O-The triennial con-
clave of the Knights Templar closes To-

will remain in this vicinityin small parties
for week OF longer. Nearly all of the
commauderies have closed their head
quarters however, and before night will
disband.
The Templars who remain went on ex-
cursions in every direction today. All
the harbor resorts entertained thousands
and many pilgrimages were made to
Concord and Plymouth.
The White squadron which arrived in
the harbor this morning was also the OBJ
jective point of hundreds, and as soon as
visitors we're allowed aboard the war
ships today, the decks of the vessels
were crowded.
The last session of the grand encamp-
ment opened at Masonic temple at ten
o'clock, aud at the conclusion of the bus
mess session the new grand officers were
installed

A Matter of Some Interest to Boys Who
Go After Melons.
The case of H. NJ. McHan was finally
begun this morning in Justice Guys
court after a number. of continuances
and delays. This is part of the Oakland
melon stealing scrape McHan is
charged with assaulting the two McMiI-
Ian boys and Ira Hunter. He threshed
them with buggy whip for taking his
melons.
The whole morning was taken up to-
day in an argument over whether the
case could properly be tried. Mr.. Ens-
minger for the defense urging that Nc
Han had already been tried and fined for
the same offense.
The next day after the row one of
McHans friends swore out a warrant
charging him with assault He pleaded
guilty to this before Justice Whitmore of
Oakland and was fined 81 and costs. 500
altog ether.
After hearing both sides this morning
Justice Guy ruled that inssmuch as the
state had not been notified of the case,
and as it appeared a friendly action
merely to head off a real trial, it was
proper for the case to continue.
A jury was summoned and the trial Of
the case proper began this afternoon at 2
o'clock

Big Shipments CT Gold Will Bring t.
Below the Mark.
NEW YORK, Aug 30.-Handy & Har-
man will ship 100000 and Steinwender
& Stoffegen $I50,OO0. Nesslage & Full
ler have increased by $4,000 their gold
engagements made earlier in the week.
Hard 6 Rand will ship 100000 gold by
tomorrow's steamer. This brings the to-
tai engagements for tomorrow up to
81, $4,000. Crossman & Bro have de-
cided to increase their shipment to ST.
100000.
Some of the gold has already been en-
gagged at the sub-;reasury. and it is likely
that all the shippers, with the exception
of Handy & Hartman, viii get their gold
at the sub-treasury. These Withdrawals
will bring the gold reserve about $400,-
600 below the 000000O0 but it is
likely that the government bond syEdi-
cate will place some gold in the sub
treasury before the close of business to-
day, go as to maintain the reserve about
$780, 100000.
The total Withdrawals Of gold from the
sub-treasury amount to S2,5O0,O0 Just
before the close of business the govern
ment bond syndicate deposited $1,000,

they took legal tenders. This leaves the

RANSOM STTLLLN TROUBLE
CAME Draw Salary Until Confirmed by the
Senate it is Said.

CGn'e Draw Salary Until Confirmed by the
Senate it is Said.
WASHINGTON. Aug 30-Minister Ran
SONS troubles have not ceased. First
his salary was withheld for months;then
his appointment as minister was declar-
ed illegal aud the Office vacated.
1t was thought that his reappointment
by the president on August "A, would
end the complications, but Deputy Au-
ditor of the Treasury Willis has decided
that Minister Ransom can not draw sala-
ry until he is confirmed by the senate.
Mr.. Willis holds that the decision of his
chief auditor, Holcomb, that Mr.. Ran
SONS first appointment was illegal and
that he WAS therefore not entitled to draw
salary meant nothing if it did not mean
that since the death of Minister
Gray there has been no minis
ter to Mexico That being the case he
holds that Nr. Ransom's appointment
now comes under the provision of law
quoted as arecess appointment made to
till vacancy existing while the senate
was in session.
A further question is raised as to
whether when confirmed Mr.. Ransom's
accrued salary since the date of his Lass
| appointment can be paid

! ing mines, constant menace TO those
working beneath.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-F. P. Holland, as
mayor of Dallas, Tex, and managing
editor of the Texas Iarm and Ranch,
who is in Chicago, has been in receipt of
scores of letters from citizens and his
subscribers throughout Texas regarding

In answer to all these letters Mayor
Holland emphatically dec lares he is not

contest is not to take place within the
corporate limits of the cily of Dallas and
is therefore out of his jurisdiction
As citizen and office holder of Texas
he will do his utmost to prevent the con-
test should it be unlawful. But if it is
lawful he would like to see Dallas get
whatever profit there may be in having
it take place near there.

Is Now General Manager of

e.
WON'T CONFIRM IT.
ReceiverW Walker willSayNeither
Yes Nor No.
Matter Hasn't Been Considered
by Those Who'll Appoint.

CHICAGO, Aug 9O.-The Daily News
says: Edward J. jeffrey. president and
general manages, of the Denver g. Rio
Grande railway, it is understood will be
the president of the reOrganized Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany."
About a year ago J. W. Reinhart re-
signed the presidency and senior receiv-
ership of the company. Since that time
the receivers aud officials have managed
the line without a president Mr.. Jaf-
frey has all his life been connected with
railroads. For long time he was asso-
ciated with the Illinois Central road as
general manager.
Mr.. Jeffrey wis considered as a sue
cessor to ]. w. Reinhart when he re-
signed. The directors, however, finally
decided that, as the road was in the
hands of the courts there was no imme-
date need for Il president, as the organ
ization of the corporation practically
ceased during the receivership.
Another consideration was the fact
that Mr.. Reinhart had been paid salary
of $4,000, and that sum could be saved
by leaving the presidency vacant while
the receivership lasted. MIR. B. p.
Cheney. jr.. of Boston. attended to the
executive work during the year, and D.
B. Robinson, of Chicago, as first vice
president. performed the other duties be-
longing originally to Mr.. Reinhart.
D. B. Robinson, first vice president Of
the Santa Fe railroad, last night said:
$50 far as l know Jeffrey is not in the city.
l know OF no conference to have been
held and the whole matter l must con-
fess, is news to me. However l have
not seen Jeffrey today and know nothing
of the matter"
Receiver Aldace F. Walker of the
Atchison, Topeka s. Santa Fe railroad,
said today:
THE persoUs who would have to de-
eide whether there should be a prssi-
dent or not, and whether that presi-
dent, if there is to be one, should or
should not be Edward T. jeffrey have
not given the matter. 80 far as l know, q
single moments concern.
there is no reason moreover why
they should do so for two or three
months to come. The company has not
been reorganized. Not even the first
eteps have been taken in that direction
Il is all rumor and speculation"

KNOW NOTHING OF IT HERE.
Santa Fe officers in tho Dark About the
Jeffrey story.

B3nEa EG OmC2FS IN tho DARK A bout the
Jeffrey story
At Santa Fe headquarters here moth
ing is known of the story that Edward
T. Jeffrey is likely to be president of the
Santa Fe, but it is a known fact that the
present Santa Fe officials are anxious
that either d. B. Robinson, now first vice
president. acting president and agent of
the receivers, or Receiver AIdace F.
Walker shall be made president of the
new company.
If either of these gentlemen, who are
at present connected with the company,
should be made president the present
operating officials would be more likely
TO retain their positions than if an out
side man should be placed at the head of
the new company.
A Santa Fe man, who is very close to
the receivers and is in a position to know
about what is going on in the official
circles of the road, said to a STATE
JOURNAL reporter today: ''All this talk
about certain men having been selected
for president amounts to nothing. Why
even the board of directors has not been
named yet II is true lot of prominent
railroad men have their eyes on the
Santa Fe presidency but it entirely de-
pends on who the directors are.
"As soon as the new board of directors
is named we can guess pretty we'll who
will be president.
1--WE hear a good deal of talk about
the new president going to be either d.
b Robinson or Receiver Walker. If it
is true that these men have friends at
the top, it is still possible that third
man may be chosen as a compromise.
The appointment of new president may
be as much of surprise as the appoint
ment of Aldace F. Walker as receiver
was"
