1t Was Feared the Saloons Would Be

ATCHIsoN, May 21.-There is nothing
in the latest saloon-closing scare. George
Storch, president of the police commits

the published reports is the established
policy of the present board, which, from
the beginning of its administration, has
been to gradually reduce the number of

board has only been in existence few

RoHRBAUG14's AMBITION.
He Would Like to Succeed Ed. O'Bryal
In the Senate.

WICHITA, May Git is said that P.
A Rohrbaugh, one of the representa-
tives from Sedgwick county, is already
laying his plans to succeed Ed O'Bryan
in the senate. Senator O'Bryan has
moved to ST. Louis, and his seat will be
vacant at the next election anyhow.
There is considerable opposition to
Mr. Rohrbaugh's candidacy by those who
believe him to be hand in glove with the

feat the adjustment Of freight rates while
seemingly trying to secure railroad legis-
lation. are notorious, and have aroused
much feeling against him.

APPRECIATION OF SILVER.
Japan Wants Gold, but Will Retain
The Silver Standard.

Japan wants Gold, but VIII Retain
The Silver Standard.
In New York, recently Edward
Brush secretary of the Consolidated
Kansas City Smelling and Refining
Company who is recognized author
ity on all matters pertaining to sill
YER, talked to reporter on the re-
dent rise in silver, its cause and the
probable future of the metal. He
said in part:
"Without doubt it is expected
that with the cessation of hostilities
between Japan and China, the de-
mands will increase. 1t is now be-
ing whispered by those failing to
see the real cause for this advance
that the indemnity demanded by
Japan will be in gold and not in sill
yer, and that for this reason the
speculative movement will fail. Nv
opinion is that there are legitimate
lrade reasons for considerable adj
vance, but doubtless on account of
the erroneous opinion that specula-
ton has been based upon the indem-
nifty, should it prove to be in gold,
it may have a temporary effect to
check the advance.
JAPAN WANTS GOLD.
" 1t was my privilege to learn,
about two months ago, from one of
the financial advisers of the Japan
ese Government, their expectations
in connection with this indemnity,
that it would be demanded and paid
in gold. Notwithstanding what has
been said to the contrary, the Japan
ese Government does not desire to
place it's currencv upon a gold basis
neither does it believe that it would
be possible for China to arrange
with European bankers to deplete
the gold treasures of Europe to the
extent of the indemnity which it will
demand.
cit does expect, however, that this
gold indemnity will be placed to
the credit of Japan in the trade
centers of Europe, and will be used
there as banking capitol to make
purchases of silver, war supplies and
general equipments as its necessities
require. The japanese Government
has made during the war internal
loans for 25O,OOO,O0O yen in silver.
AS its banking credit will bring
them in only about ! per cent inter-
est in Europe, and AS its silver debt
is costing 6 to s per cent in japan,
it will certainly be to the interest of
the japanese Government to buy, as
fast as it can be done judiciously,
silver with its gold credit, to repay
its internal loan.
WILL KEEP THE SILVER BASIS.
''ln the expression of English crit
les of the belief that Japan will get
on gold basis, this wish is father to
the thought. The endeavor of the
English Government to place India
upon gold basis has so far been a
most dismal failure, resulting in
placing the exchange of India Is to
20 per cent above the exchange OF
China and Japan. This has resured
in largely decreased expectations
from India and large expectations
from Japan. Should Japan place
her finances upon a gold basis, she
would Immediately lose this advan-
tage, and place it in the hands of her
principal rival, which must continue
upon silver basis. The japanese
are apparently shrewd enough to see
this situation and to govern them.

-rbe first whipping post in Boston

The first whipping post in Boston
was erected in front of the old meeting
house. This old meeting house, the
first church of Boston. was an unpre-
tentious structure of wood, and was
situated on State street, on the ground
which is now occupied by Brazier's
building, and in it preached the first
ministers of the town-John Wilson
and John Cotton-and thither went
to worship John Winthrop and
Richard Bellingham and all their zeal
GUS Puritanical followers. The church
remained here until 1C4o, when II was
removed to that part of what we now
call Washington street, nearly opposite
the head of State street, on the site OF
the present Rogers building. But the
whipping post remained in its or1ginai
position for some years afterward, I'M
til it was removed to near the west
street gate of the common, and pubic
whippings, whether deserved or not'
continued TO be inflicted as late as
