Six Persons Arrested Last Night and
Put Up Security.

Last night Sergeant Tim Donovan
and Patrolman Pavey raided the gamb-

For some time there has been COM

been conducted in the room back of
Arthur NcCabe's law office over the
old Burghart and Oswald harness store.
Last night a little after midnight the
two officers went to the room and
knocked on the door. 1t was opened
and they entered and put all the in
mates under arrest. They were taken
to the police station where they put UP

Leland Says No National Repub-

Will Be Made at Kansas City as
Reported.
General Political News of KANSAS of
All Parties-Personal and
Otherwise.

Kansas City Sept. 22.-Cy Leland of
Kansas was in Kansas City yesterday
en- route home from Chicago. To a re-
porter who saw Mr.. Leland at the Bios
som house he emphatically denied that
a branch of the national Republican
headquarters was to be established in
this city.
In the first place there are only four
members of the national executive
committee he said. 1T is not posi-
bic for all of US to be in Chicago all the
time We relieve each other. This fact
alone would prevent US from establish
ing headquarters here. In the second
place, it would look too much as if the
national committee were interfering
with the work of the state committees,
should branch headquarters be estab-
Hshed.
considerable pressure has been
brought to bear to establish such branch
headquarters here for the better diff
fusion of literature and speakers
throughout western Missouri and east
ern Kansas, but this defect will be at
tended to. There will be no branch
headquarters in Kansas City. It is out
of the question:

WAR SPIRIT QUIETED.
Britishers Eager for War WithTurkey

London, Sept. 22.-John Lowles, mem
Der of parliament for the HaggerstOwn
division of ShOreditch, was the princi-
pal speaker last evening at a meeting
= called to express sympathy with the
Armenians and to impress upon the
government the necessity of taking
steps to prevent any further massa-
cres.

who attended and who had called the
meeting by the distribution throughout

bloody murderer, or maniac Mr.. Low
les, who is a conservative and an ar
dent imperial federatiOnist and who is
believed to have the ear of the govern
the war enthusiasts and also inciden-
tally definitely defined the position of
the government in the matter.
Mr.. LOWles began by stating that he
was authorized by the foreign office
(of which the Marquis of Salisbury is
the head, as well as being premier) to
say that Great Britain at the present
moment is confronted by an agreement
between the three great central pow
eES of Europe, with Turkey, that if
Great Britain attack Turkey alone, no
matter on what excuse or pretext, it
would mean a European war. The
statement caused quite sensation and
a number of vigorous protests against
inactiOn upon the part of Great Britain
were made by the more hot headed of
the aSsemblage.
But, the level headed portion of the
community were in the majority and
when the meeting adjourned, Mr..
LOwles had succeeded in impressing
upon his audience that discretion, IN
der the present circumstances, is q, far
better policy for Great Britain than a
useless display of ValOr, which might
within very short time place the very

BEEKMAN'S LEAGUE SPEECH
Among the many eloquent and pOpu-
lar speeches made at the annual con-
ventiOn of the state league at Topeka
this week, none twanged the heart
strings of the delegates so effectually
man, of this city. He said in part:
Il am a Republican; I have always
been a Republican, and by the grace of
God shall always be a Republican.
I believe in the Republican party
and in the principles it has put into
practice in the years gone by.
Il can say what I want to as one of
the people. I have no public position
that 1 have to be guarded in what I
say, and I want to tell you that the
American people will ultimately re-
monetize silver. It is the duty of the
Republican party to do this. The peo-
pie are demanding it and we should not
dodge it. Let US be calm and cOnserv-
ative, but let US do it. The people are
moving that way.
In 1896 the people will tend to it, and
I want to say to you now that no man,
no matter how brilliant he is, no matter
what he has done in the past, no matter
how he may stand on other questions,
no man will get the electoral vote of
Kansas who does not favor the remOn-
citation of silver"
The convention fairly went wild at
the conclusion Of Judge Beekman'S re-
marks.

ever discovered was found near the
village of Mnliagel, Victoria, Aus
tralia, in February, 1859. Two
prospectors found it on the margin
of patch of auriferous aluminium,
within two feet of the bedrock If
sandstone. The nugget was 81
inches long and a fraction over 10
inches thick. When melted the
pure gold it was found to contain
weighed exactly 2,268 ounces, 10
pennyweights and IA grains. Be-
fore being melted down the finders
