than winning pennants.
But the arrival at the Florida metropo-

campaign. Boarding school rules are
lax compared with what the Giants will
be expected to live up to during the

private dining room, and a cook will be
taken along for the sole purpose of pre-
pairing dishes for them.

JUDGE FOSTER AT WICHITA.
Expects Governor Morrill, to Abolish the
Metropolitan POIicr.

Expects Governor Morrill, to Abolish the
Metropolitan Police.
WICHITA, March 5.-Judge Foster was
in a taikaIive mood last evening and
spoke freely of the temperance issue. He
said:
"WeU, what has become of my old
friend whom YOU call Tiger Bill?' When
/ think of that man sometimes it puts
me to guessing of what kind of compo-
sition is he made. l never considered
him a fool In fact | always thought him
pretty bright. But what kind of cheek
he must have to be going through the
state, and, suppose attending the state
temperance convention, when heretofore
he has rraversed the state as n dyed-;n-
the wool resubmissionist, is more than L
can tell.
"Troutmau coming out for governor
has placed Morrill, in strange position
and it would not surprise me to have
Morrill, come out and abolish the metro
politan police system. l believe
that Mr.. MurrillA was anxious to
give the state good administration and
was willing to let things take their
course; but when prohibitiOnists began
TO punch him up he gave in, and then
instead of going clear through on his
adopted course stopped when it came to
certain obstacles he could not manage
BY stopping he has incurred the dIspleas-
ure of the prohibitionists and by starting
at all he has secured the enmity of the
liberal element, and l believe his only
course will be TO throw the whole ques-
ton back upon the communities and let
them fight it out among Themselves.
"Fhis is what 1 would do if l was gov
ernor of the state of Kansas and by so
doing true temperance men and not fan
atics would come to my rescue as it
would be true Americanism."

Leavenworth Citizens Liberal in DOna-

LEAvENwoRTH, March 5.-The alcohol
distillery enterprise is assured The
$4,000 bonus will be raised within two
weeks.
The proposed distillery (for alcohol
only would consume 5000 bushels of
corn daily and give steady employment
to from $50 to 2U0 men, It would run at
full capacity for at least ten or eleven
months in the year.
The promoters of the big enterprise
have entered into an agreement that
makes the donors perfectly safe. The
money subscribed to the fund to secure
the plant is not to be touched by the dis
tillery company until the plant shall have
been in operation 60 days, and then only
one-third of the $3.50 is to be paid
over. The other two-thirds is to be paid
in one and two years.

There were abont 5000 chickens in
the yards and roOsts connected with the

an inch even when the fire surrounded
them. A great effort was made by the
crowd to save the chickens with compar-
alive success. Probably one-half of them
were saved and the others burned to a
crisp.
Three or four men kicked in the door

He Ran Away While His Troops Were

ROME, March 5.-The report that Gen
Baratieri has committed suicide, turns
out to be incorrect; he will have great
difficulty in escaping capital sentence on
his trial by court martial
1t is said among other things that he
deserted the troops while the latter were
fighting gallantly against overwhelming
mum bers of Shoane, and that he fed to
spot 100 kilometres from the scene of the
N massacre, without knowing or apparently
caring what became of Generals Dabor-
mida and Arimondi, whose columns have
never since been heard from, so far as
can be ascertained here
The column of troops commanded by
General Abertone also appears to have
been crushed, and that officer is still

Calling Out of $1,000 Troops Pro-

ROME, March 5.-The display of in-
dignation against the government has
been greatly increased by the calling out
of the army reserves of the class of 1872,
which calls $4,000 additional men into
active service.
The great majority of these reserves
are married men whose families will thus
be deprived of their chief, or only sup
port for an Indefinite period.
At Milan women and children lead the
agitation. Railroad cars have been de-
molished, rails torn up and telegraph
wires cut and the police have been beat
en- and stoned into helplessness. The
soldiers have been attacked, the bayo-
onets have been freely used. and men
and women, frenzied with wrath, have
thrown themselves on the naked steel of
the troops.
