ton. Mr.. Austin had examined into

safe, had reported so to the Continental
National, and its action followed.
Last night the executive committee

bank over, but decided that it could do
nothing to help it. This becoming
known to some of it's depOSitOrS about

OFFICER WATTS CATCH.
Arrests Two Men for Stealing Freight
Near K. G.

Special Officer S. Watts of the Rock
Island made a lucky catch this week
while doing secret work.
The railroads have been losing large
quantities of merchandise from freight
cars while en- route from Kansas City
to Lawrence. Watts followed a couple
of tough characters in the railroad
yards at Kansas City. When the
freight train started he climbed up be-
tween two cars and watched the men.
When the train was in good motion
the men ran to a freight car and broke
the seal on the door. They then climbed
into it. When well out of the Argentine
yards the burglars began throwing out
boxes of merchandise. At Bonner
Springs Watts went to the car and ar
rested them They gave the names of
c E. Clark and Robt. TUFTS. They
were taken to the Jail at Lawrence and
held until an officer from Kansas City
with q state warrant arrested them and
returned with them. An engine was
sent after the train and some of the
goods were gathered up. In all about
$3.50 worth of goods were missing. One
hundred pounds of sugar, 100 pounds of
coffee, a case of clocks and two caddies
of tobacco were recovered from the
roadside.
There is a gang of thieves operating
in that district which does a wholesale
business. Both men arrested are well
known to the Kansas City police.

DIR. HOGEBOOM'S SIDE.
Relates His Connection With Santa
Fe Hospital Affair.

DR.. George w. Hogeboom returned
this morning from Las Vegas. New
Mexico. He had received the notice of
his discharge before he reached home.
He says that he has no doubt that the
operation at the hospital was the club
used to get rid of him and he was not
greatly surprised.
Dr. HoEeboom issued a statement to
the public of the circumstances which
led to his removal from which the fol-
lowing is taken:
In reply to the various publications
in reference to a certain operation at
the Topeka hospital. l desire to say
that the Topeka hospital was designed
and built to accommodate the public to
such an extent and in such a manner
as not to come in competition with 9TH
er like institutions in this city. There
seemed to be such a want and the few
months that it has been in operation,
has fully convinced me that the con-
ceptiOn was a correct one and that it
has not been an injury TO either
Christ's hospital or the Jane StOrmOnt
hospital and has not only increased
benefits to employees and their families
but has also administered surgically
and medically to the public, many of
whom would not otherwise have been
treated. in Topeka
Continuing DIR. Hogeboom says:
There was no intimation whatever
given me or made, that the operation
would be in the presence of any one
except the immedia tie operator, assist
ants and the necessary attendants. fit
is true that when appointed DrS. Min
ney & Magee to take the place of DR..
Wall, 1 said to him that he could hold
clinics of his own cases in the operat-
ing room of the hospital, if he desired,
by giving US a little notice and l be-
lieve I so informed DR.. J. r. Fay; and
therefore 1 repeat that 1 had no occa-
sion to believe that the operation of
DR.. Pitcher would be done before any
others, than those necessary to be pres
ent.''
DR.. Hogeboom says in conclusion:
Perhaps the cause of so much excite
ment about this operation may have
been on account of the operator. If so,
I desire to say that DR.. Pitcher is rec
ognized and is an able and efficient
surgeon and as his patient was an edu-
Gated and intelligent man undoubtedly,
I had no occasion for criticism and GER
tainly did not feel that 1 had the auth
GRITTY or the privilege to make distinc-
tions among the medical fraternity of
the state, in their patronage of the
hospital, and especially so as the whole
responsibility of the case, so far as the
operation and its results are concerned,
is upon the opera tor"
No one has been appointed to take
the position of chief surgeon of the
Santa Fe. 1t is reasonably certain that
it will be one Of the two men; either
DR.. Mum of Topeka or DR.. Yancy of
Sedalia, Mo. DR.. Yancy is the man
General Manager Frey desired to have
appointed in place of DR.. HOgeboom
soon after he came to Topeka as head
of the Santa Fe railroad.

The Road May Build South to Sabine
Pass

Beaumont. Tex. Feb. 27.-Petitions
will be circulated in Beaumont within
the next few days asking the legislature
to pass bill authorizing the sale of the
Texas, Louisiana & Eastern to the
Santa Fe. The reason for this is that
the officials of the Santa Fe have
agreed with representative citizens of
this place to build to Beaumont, pro-
vided they will be allowed to buy the
Conroe road.
The Texas, Louisiana & Eastern ex-
tends from Conroe, the terminus of
branch of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa
Fe. eastward a distance of about thirty
miles. 1t would parallel the Southern
Pacific to the north if extended to
Beaumont. The agreement with the
Santa Fe people calls for the completion
of the road into Beaumont within six
months, with the sole condition that
the sale of the Conroe road to the Santa
Fe will be confirmed by the state.
The entrance of the Santa Fe road
would be a godSend to the people of
the whole of southeast Texas. 1t is
understood that the line would be ex-
tended south of here to deep water at

ON HIS HUNKERS.
OpprObrious Terms Applied TO
President Cleveland,
By Senator Morgan, to Describe
His Attitude
TOWARD THE SPANISH
Government In the Cuban In
SurrectiOn.
Spain Now Says Ruiz "Died
From Natural Causes"
TOWARD THE SPANISH

Washington, Feb. 27.-The debate on
Cuban matters continued in the senate
yesterday.
Mr.. Morgan declared that the San
gully resolution was urged, well know
ing that Spain has her advocates on
this floor" prepared to defend her in
any emergency. They were the first to
learn that he was, pardOned. Why mad
the queen of Spain acted so hastily af-
ter % months of delay? 1t was because
she knew she could not stand against
the action of the senate. Spain had
6l1rung from the collision and the roy
al hand had hastily signed this pardon.
Referring to the president, he said:
"Oh, what welcome news was that
pardon to this president in our White
House who has been down upon his
hunkers now for two years praying
with Spain to release him. How joyous
his honest and noble American heart
must beat and in what wild transports
of joy must be his magnificent person
when he hears that, after all, by the
com binatiOn between the crown of
Spain and the president of the United
States, they have now taken poor
creature and have at last dragged out
of him a confession whereby they can
escape the danger of paying damage
and possibly have the liberty, like the
sluggard, of sleeping and snoring while
Americans suffer"

COTTON MILLS STOP.
A Desire to Improve the Market is
Assigned as the Cause

Providence, r. L, Feb. F27.-The Not
tingham cotton mills here, the cotton
mills of the Waukegan Manufacturing
company and the Lockwood company
of Wauregan and Danielson, Conn,
have begun a curtailnent of produc-
ton. These mills are all controlled by
Providence manufacturers and their
affairs are directed from this city.
None of these mills were included in
the general agreement of New England
print cloth manufacturers, which went
into effect early in the month. The
managers decided, however, that the
market would be placed more quickly
on an improved basis if they, too, stop
ped a number of their spindlcE.
1t is not known how long the cUrtail-
nent will last but these mills will prob
ably start in full at about the same
time B. B. and r. Knight and the other
big manufacturers do so.

DIAGONAL WALKS.
The Journals Fight For Walks
at the State House Wins.

The state architect is getting up
plans and specifications for diagonal
walks in the state house grounds, which
will be considered at the next meeting
of the council.
The architect is working under auth
GRITTY of a resolution adopted by the
council, instructing him to proceed with
that work.
The state officers are all in favor of
the new walks and will have them put
in just as soon as the weather permits.
The present council will be able to
repair a t least the error of the last
council in emitting the diagonal walks,
but it can not without building new
walks and drives, do away with the
yellow mud walks and drives
