G. A. R. TROUBLE.
Topeka, Kan, April 30.-Something of
a row is in progress between the incom-
ing and outgoing officials of the Kansas
G.. A. r. When Colonel Whitney, the
new commander-in-chief, appointed j.
Y. Niles of Beloit as adjutant, he was
required to give a bond of $1,000. When
the council met at the close of the re-
cent encampment in Beloit, Niles pre-
scented his bond, but IL was rejected on
the ground that it was not good, and
tn adjutant was given until the meet
of the council on May to prepare a
better one.
Today he appeared at the state house
and demanded possession of the Grand
Army headquarters. ]. y. Harrison,
the outgoing adjutant, readily declined
to turn over something like $4,000 which
ne had on hand belonging 20 the order
until the council had approved the new
bond. While this did not seem entirely
satisfactory to Mr. Niles, he entered no
protest, and the transfer was made.
But the trouble started with the new
adjutant's first official order He in
formed Miss Maud Herrel that her serv-
ices were no longer required as clerk in
the office, and the outgoing officials, to-
gether with all of the delegates TO the
encampment from Topeka, say this was
in direct violation of an agreement and
promise from Mr.. Niles. Maud Herrell
has really been about there was to
the Grand Army headquarters. She is
the daughter of dead comrade, whose
home was in Montgomery county. She
was first taken into the Office as clerk
by Barney Kelley while he was COM
mander She has remained ever since,
and 10 her is due the scrupulous AK
actftude with which everything is kept
about the headquarters. Colonel Har-
rison says the recent encampment in
dorsed Miss HerrellS work and that it
was with the distinct understanding
that she should be retained in the serv-
ice that the adjutant's salary was re-
tanned at 1900 a year. 1t was agreed
that she was to receive $500 of this sum.
The Grand Army people about Topeka
are very angry over the girls dis
charge. They accuse Niles of bad faith,
and apply to him certain epithets which
are not presumed to percolate where
peace and amity prevail.

TELESCOPES TO BE IMPROVED
Important Discovery which Increases
Their Power Is Made.


Their Power Is Made.
New Haven, April 30.-A very i'm
portant discovery has been made by
Professor c. S. Hastings of the Yale
scientific school, the result of which is
a new type OF telescope, in which the
defect known as the secondary color
alteration is removed without the use
Of other than the ordinary slicate
glasses.
The telescopes Of the seventeenth cen
fury consisted of a single lens as the OBJ
ject glass, and in the hands of Huygens,
Campani. and Davini. reached the high
est excellence attainable for the simple
telescope. They found that with in
creasing power IL was necessary 10 IN
crease the length of the telescope IN a
very rapid ratio. This fixed limit 10
the practicable dimension one tele-
scope was actually made by About, a
French opticiau, which was 600 feet
long. but could not even be set up. Not
until Sir Isaac Newton's discovery OF
the law Of dispersion of light was the
exclamation of this inconvenient fact
found in the variation OF focal leng ms
for the varying wave length Of light
This defect has since been called chro-
matte alteration. the effect OF which IS,

telescope, to show objects in prlsmailc
colors. and hence indistinctly-
Newtoa's investigations led 70 the
conclusion that this defect could not oe
remedied, and therefore he turned ols
attention 10 the rejecting telescope, the
first one OF which he constructed Win

SPAIN ~REASSURED.


Madrid. Dec. 20.-The expl;crr an
nouncement is made that Scror Duruy
de Lone. the Spanish minister al
Washington, has telegrapnad 20 his
government here that he had a confer
ence with Mr.. Olney, the secretary OF
state, in the course of which he latter
assured him that Spain might rest tran
quill until March at least. since. despi.e
the attitude of congress-. President
Cleveland would not recognize the in
dependence of Cuba.
A representative of the Associated
Press sought to secure an expression
from the war office on the relations
with the United States as influenced by
the action of the senate foreign rela-
lions committee on the Cameron reso-
luton. General Marcelo de Azcarraga,
the minister of war. was suffering from
an i~ndisposition and was not able to be
interviewed, but a number of high Off
cials of the war Office consented to sup
plement the expressions secured yester-
day from the foreign office.
These officials stated to the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press that
Capt. Gen. Weyler in Cuba has receiv-
ed instructions to hurry up his cam
paign by the delivery of a bold stroke
against the insurgents in order to pre-,
vent the Cubans from rallying from
the disaster of Maceo's death and in or
der TO deprive the Americans of any
preteXt for a demand of Cuban indie
pendence.
1t was added that Spain was quite
able to meet the situation and can
promptly mobilize as many as 500, 900
fresh troops in addition to those now
engaged in Cuba and the Philippines.
The officials of the war department ex,
planned THAI large orders have been
placed abroad for arms and ammumi-
ton and SPANS rifle and munition
factories are working night and day
to provide against any possible exter.
nal complications that may arise in Gu
ba or the Philippines.

high officials in that department. will
not provoke. nor will it finch from any
contest upon which depends the ma
tional honor. The army can rely upon
absolute support, with patriotic enthu.
siasm and with the entire resources OF
the country. We can land half a mil,
lion more soldiers in Cuba within three
months. We believe that the principal
inhabitants of Cuba would uncondi-
~tionally support Spain against the
Americans
War office officials also assert that
Capt. Gen. Weyler's army will not be
allowed to return to the Spanish penin-
sula except as victors. 1t is claimed
that Gen. AZcarraga, minister of war,
is considered the ablest, though quiet
est, organizer of modern times, and
that he is perfectly able t. carry out
the war Office statement thai If circum-
stances compel them to do so, they are
ready to meet complications with the
United States.

MAY NOT OPEN.
National Bank of Illinois Suspended by
Chicago Clearing House.

Chicago, Dec. 2O.-Iomorrow morn
ing's papers will say:
The probabilities are the Nationa'
bank Of Illinois will not open for bust
ness today. and it may go into liquida.
ton as the result of serious troubles
that first became known at a late hou,
tonight.
The cash resources of the institution
are stated to be within the limits of the
law and it is understood that deposi-
tors will be paid in full. Bad loans are
stated to be the cause of the trouble.
The capital and surplus of the bank,
it is said, are impaired. In consequence,
the institution was suspended from
membership in the clearing house at a
meeting of the governing committee
tonight. 1t is stated that If the bank
would suspend and liquidate, there
would be sufficient funds to declare an
early dividend, as the our of the
bank are ample.
The National bank of Illinois was
n of the leading financial institu-
tons Of the city. The last statement
of the bank showed it to be in good
condition.
Following are the resolutions adopt
ed by the clearing house committee to-
night:
Whereas, The attention of this COM
mittee has been lately called to the ad-
minsitration of the affairs of the Ma
tional bank of Illinois, and it now APP
pears, through statement made to this
committee by one of the vice presidents
of said bank, and from the reports Of
the national bank examiner, that, by
reason of u~nwarrantable and injudi-
cious loans, the capital and surplus
of said bank is seriously imperiled il
not entirely lost; now, therefore,
Resolved, That under the powers
conferred upon this committee by the
bylaws of the clearing house associa-
ton of Chicago. w do hereby suspend
said National bank of Illinois from the
privileges Of membership In said asso-
citation, to take effect Immediately.
I'm taking this action the committee
deems it proper to say:
"First-That the cash OF
the bank are within the requirement OF
the law and if, as a result of this ac-
ton, said bank should suspend payment
and liquidate its liabilities, a large and
speedy dividend will be made available
to creditors.
Second-It is the declared opinion
of the officers and directors of the bank
that its are ample to pay all
It's liabilities in full, 100 cents on the
dollar, and it is the opinion of this
committee that adjusted claims against
said bank may be considered ample
collateral security for loans at IS per
cent of their face value, and in the
event of liquidation by said bank, we
will recommend to the associated
banks an arrangement whereby such
loans may be made available to credi-
tors of said bank as their convenience
may require.
