ACROSS INA IL DAYS.
The Time Required to Cross the At
Iantic to be Greatly Reduced

Halifax. n. s.. April 15.-The English
syndicate which proposes to Inaugural te
a four and half days steamship serv-
ice between Milford Haven and Middle
ford on the Strait of Canso, claims to
feel assured that the United States
mails would be carried over the new
route, quoting from a letter received
from the postmaster general of the
United States in reply to question to
prove their assertions The letter says:
THE custom of this department is to
use the shortest time between ports A
ia BILE is kept of all the saiIings of the
month and on the showing of that
statement a determination is made of
how the mails shall be forwarded for
the month. l know OF no better plan
to pursue. 1t settles itself, that if this
line of steamers can make the voyage
in four and half days, they would
have the preference
Assuming the British government
mail service grant to be $3.50, 600 and
the British admiralty grant to be $125,
000 the syndicate states that they are
prepared to furnish this fast service
for a Canadian subsidy of $3.50, 600 a
year instead of the subsidy of $3.50, 600
a year, which has been already voted
by parliament.
The time to be occupied from London
to Middletown by the route is put down
at four days and u hours, and the pro-
rnOters are prepared to guarantee to
the imperial authorities to take a reg
iment of troops in London and land
them at Victoria, B. G., in ten days.

The Warden Reported to Have Three
Relatives in Office Already.

The Wichita Eagle says:
Some Barber county friends of Mr.
Lands. warden of the penftentiary
were in the city yesterday and called at
the Eagle office.
Tt is not generally known, but it is
a fact nevertheless, that Harry Lands
was appointed warden of the peniten-
tiary because he owed Judge Mckay
and other Populists some borrowed
money and they insisted on his appoint
ment, knowing that otherwise he would
never be able to pay them back.
Barber county has kept Harry in Of
fee for eleven years, and that is not
bad. Besides his eleven years in of
flee he is now in the latest office in
the state for two years, and like all
other Populists, he has provided soft
places for his father, two brothers and
some four or five particular friends
from Barber county. In all seven Bar
Der county men have offices in the pen
itentiary, as follows: Felix Lands
Storekeeper; H. L. Lands, warden;
George Lands, clerk; John BfcGregor
pit boss; Frank Lewis, clerk; Doc"
Stout weigh clerk; George w. Stevens
outside gate keeper.
The offices which Mr.. Lands has held
in Barber county are:
County superintendent for fouryears;
state senator, four years, and district
clerk, three years. When he has fin
ished his term as warden he will have
spent more than one-third of his life
continuously in public office.

especially where such reckless state
ments are made I will only call your
attention to the statement in the arti-
Gle that had I remained in the senate
the stock yards bill would have failed
I do this in order to show the abso-
lutte lack of truth and the animus of
the entire article, and because Colonel
Jaquins was perfectly familiar with my
views upon the stock yards bill. and
knew that I favored it and that had I
remained in Topeka I should have
voted for it. I had frequent converse
tions with him on the subject, and he
knows my views.
What is alluded to in the article as
the corporation bill is something that
1 know nothing about and never saw.
The bill Colonel Jaquins introduced is
the one which I would have favored
and never supported or spoke of any
other BILL
Representative Jaquins has also writ
ten a letter replying to the charges,
and says the statements made by Sem
ator Harris are correct. and further,
that Senator Harris was at all times in
favor of the JaQuins bill, which finally
became a law.

sour and bilious and dyspeptic and
went into cramp over the Puerile cor
ruption of the Republican party
What do you think of the charges
against LeWelling?"
Il think they are true, but I think
the other fellows are just as deep in
the mud as he is in the mire. This iegis-
lature is just as corrupt as people ex-
pected it would be, and their own in
vestigation proves it. There are some
Topeka politicians who want LeWelling
out of the way and they are lampoon-
ing him in great shape. but he is no
worse than any of the rest. There
isn't an inch nor a breath nor a. whin-
per of this administration any better

they comply the department very soon

Diaorderlv House Raided.

In the little stone house on the west
side of Quincy street between Sixth and
Seventh streets and adjacent to the al
ley, the police last night made raid
and arrested Meta Robinson as keep
er of a disorderly house and May
Smith as an inmate. little after 9
o'clock Sergeant Owen, Detectives Ca
prom and Price and PatrOlman Younk-
in went to the place and demanded ad-
mission. They entered and placed the
occupants under arrest. There were
three men in the house at the time of
the raid. Their names were taken and
they were allowed to go. They were to
be used for witnesses. The police claim
that they do not know the men. It is
known that one of them is water
service employe of the Rock Island
railroad At police station Meta Rob-
inson gave her age as So years. and the
charge of maintaining a disorderly
house was placed opposite her name.
The girl, May Smith. said she was q
years of age. This morning in police
court both pleaded guilty to their re
spective charges and the Robinson Wo-
man was fined S25. The other was fined
SO. The three men will not have to ap-
pear in public now to testify.
