Editor KOhisaat Takes Steps to Secure the
Cremation of Kate fields
Remains.

CHICAGO. ILL, Sept. 5.-Before Kate
Field left for Hawaii she advised H. II.
Kohlsaat, editor of the Times Herald,
that she had provided in her will for the
disposition of her remains in the event of
death. Diligent search Jailed to discover
this will until Friday last. Meanwhile
the body has been lying in a vault at
Hawaii. 1t appears from this will that
Miss Field directed that her body be
cremated, and that her ashes, together
with plain gold ring worn by her, be
placed in an urn and deposited above the
collins of her father and mother in Mount
Auburn Cemetery at Cambridge, Mass.
Mr.. Kohlsaat has undertaken the imme.
date execution of these instructions, and
to-day wrote to Consul General Mills at
Honolulu making provision for the ex-
pense and directing that the cremation
shall take place there if practicable, but
that if not the remains shall be forwarded
by next steamer via San Francisco and
overland to Boston, where the desired dis
position of them will be made.

TURKS AND ARMENIANS.
Panic Caused in Constantinop,e
by a Man Falling From
a Window.
Rumors That He Had Been Thrown
Out Nearly Result in Re-
newal of Rioting.

CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Sept. s.
a complete panic was caused here yester-
day by the falling of an Armenian from a
window to the street below. The people
who saw the man fall believed that he had
been thrown out of the window, and a
rumor spread like wildfire that rioting had
been renewed. The shops in CONSTANT
nople and Galatea were closed at once and
kept closed until the scare was over and
the people had become quiet.
1t is reported that the Armenian Revo-
lutionary Association is making arran ge-
ments for great Armenian demonstra-
ton. The Armenian Catholic patriarch
has caused the distribution of certificates
intended to identify the holders thereof as
Armenian Catholics, and this movement
has thrown the Gregorian Armenians into
great CONSERVATION, fearing that they
may be made the chief victims of vio-
lence.

farm their ranches in peace? The answer to
that very fair question is that the laws to
which the reform committee objected did not
exist when the majority of its members had
entered the Transvaal eight years before
AT that time the revenue of the country was
barely able TO support it and emigrants were
warmly welcomed. The law as 1t then stood
was that a Uitander could obtain full rights
OF citizenship after a residence of FIVE years,
and with this understanding many Americans
and Enghshmen bought land IN the Transvaal,
built houses and brought their families 10 live
IN them, invested their capital in mines and
machinery and gradually severed the ties that
had bound them to the rest OF the world. But
when the gold-seekers grew into majority
the Boer, who still retained his love for pas
toral and agricultural pursuits, passed new
law, which declared that the Uitlander could
not obtain the franchise until he had first re-
nouneed his allegiance to any other country,
and then after a lapse of eight or fifteen years,
he could, if it pleased the Government, become
burgher with a right to vote, but that If it
did not please the Government he could never
hope to become citizen of the Transvaal
They were many other grievances, and
though Mr.. Hammond has refused, on account
OF his pledge to the Boer Government, TO dis
cuss them with me, other members of the re-
form committee have spoken and written OF
them freely and they are so well known that
they are described as the admitted griev-
ances" When the Uitlander first came to the
Transvaal the revenue of the country was
1915 200. 1t is now $10,000,OOO, and, as
have said, the Uitlander furnishes eighteen
! twentieths of that total revenue and yet 1t has
been practically impossible for him to obtain
even an education for his children in the State
schools which his money supported. The sale
OF monopolies by the Government to different
companies made his expenses excessive be-
| yond reason, and the mismanagement OF the
/ railroads led to delay in the transportation of
machinery and of pershable goods, which
robbed Legitimate business of any profit.
| Another evil arose from the liquor trust,
which gave the complete control of all the
| liquor sold on the Rand into the hands OF one
! firm which manufactured poisonous quality
of whisky and sold it without restriction TO
the natives, upon whom the mines de-
/ pended for labor, ana who Ior the half time

General E. Il. Terrell was member of

of the famous Hetty Green. Mr.. Green
will be chairman OF the Republican State
Committee if the proposed harmony plan
goes through at the State Convention next

A plan for Grand Army generals to
make combination tour of the West ii
opposition to Mr.. Bryan was consum-
mated at headquarters this afternoon.
General Russell a. AIger and Colonel Dan
e. Sickles, the latter Mckinley Demo-
crat at Chicago. stopped on their return
from the G. A. r. encampment. They
held conference with Chief Hahn, and
it was decided that the best way to satisfy
the demands which have been pouring
into the speakers bureau for G. A. R.
leaders to address the so diers and others
was to arrange for tour of distinguished
Union soldiers on a special train. General
Alger placed his car at the disposal of the
party of speakers, who will be: Generals
Alger and Sickles; General Franz Sigel of
New York, also a Mckinley Democrat;
General Thomas J. Stewart of Pennsyl-
vania, General MulhoIand of New York
and Corporal James NJ. Tanner of Wash
ington.
1t was arranged to begin the tour Sep
TENDER 81 with meeting in Chicago, and
then as follows, including Sundays: Two
meetings In Wisconsin, two in Minnesota,
two in Iowa, two in Nebraska, three in
Kansas, two in Missouri, four IN Illinois,
three IN Indiana, one in Kentucky, three
in Ohio and three IN Michigan, in the
foregoing order. The selection of the
cities will be left to the State committees,
except that the party will be IN Topeka
October 1, which is soldiers day at the
State Fair. Speeches will also be made
from the rear platform of the car at the
stations en- route. Speaking enthusiast
tically of the pan, General Sickles said !:
~ want to shake hands with the soldiers
and tell them to stand in line as they did
in 1861. There are more than million of
them in the country, and they can do a
lot OF good for Mckinley besides voting
for him, as great majority of them will
do"

AS rule in the past when the South
works ceased operations during any
period of suspension, it was customary
to keep the machine shops, the car
penter shops, and one or two other out
side departments going; and when it
came to the point that the machine
shops would be closed, this was an au-
curry that resumption might not be i'm
mediately looked forward to. Yester-
day the force of machinists that had
been left on after half of the number
We're laid off, were informed that there
will be no more work for him until
there is prospect of resumption. Mas
ter Mechanic w. G. O'Malley was seen
last evening by a Tribune reporter and
he expressed himself very doubtful re-
garding the outlook. The mill was ex-
pected to start up next week, but that
hope can be dispelled.

would be the Republican nominee. \
number of my friends convened in the
rear of my place of business and discussed
the matter. Among others who We're there
was the Hon. j. A. Scranton. Before that
time l had no talk with him on the sub
ject; did not know whether he would favor
my candidacy or not. and l was glad i
had found one newspaper who was with
me. Another gentleman was present,
John II. Fellows, and there was no har-
mony to speak of on that occasion between
him and Mr.. Scranton. They We're not
efcn speakably acquainted. The chasm,
opened in the fail campaign of '9i. had not
been bridged over. l quote all this to
show that my candidacy was no prcmed-
tated six-months' conspiracy nor based
on anything anti-Connell. l know that .he

Scranton and Mr, Fellows. had no deal

Corr elite or Scrantonitc or any other
kin of an lite; but having entered the
arena | welcomed every supporter so long
as he was of my party.
So far as Mr.. Scranton Is concerned In
his attack upon me and his having no
further use for me, why, that Is all right;
there are thousands of Republicans who
feel as he does. They believe that after
our now famous primaries and the sub
sequent city convention. the fractional spir-
it displayed, the one act o. the committee

give Tammany pointers). the evident de-
sire to crush any and all opposition, TO
trample on ow-Republcans who dif-
fered for the time being, only as to who
should represent our party in municipal
affairs-it was this that embittercd so
many Republicans and created the desire
for a third ticket. They believed that l
ought to head such a ticket and that it was
my duty to do SO, but had to consult my
own interest and act for myself, although
my action has alienated many of my
friends and gained no new friends. But
as | am now private, very private. citi-
zen with strong Republican proclivities

nor Scranton or any other faction OF our
party, but | can never forget that when
