an fundamentally for good. He fur
ther asserted that the city government
Of Topeka did not assist the police in
their efforts to enforce the law and he
declared that If the temperance people
were honest in their agitation the
liquor traffic would very quickly be
abolished. The governors remarks
provoked a retort from ex-senator
PETER.
II am ashamed of him." shouted Mr..
PETER, and then he intimated that the
state administration was not sincere
in its attitude toward the liquor traf-
fs.
Annie Diggs, anoher Populist leader,
spoke in the same strain, though she
declared that Governor Leedy was do
ing as we'll as any other governor since
Jno. A. Martin, a pronounced temper
ance man.

ARMY NEWS.

The Fifth cavalry band left last
night over the st. Louis Limited from
the Sunset depot for Waco where it
will play at the Queens Carnival at
that place. 1t arrived there this
morning.
The boys are always sorry when the
band is away as guardmounting is al
ways solemn without the sweet strain
of the band music.
A company of infantry in full field
marching order appears before the
board of officers now at the post pre-
pairing a tent pitching manual, every
morning at $3.50 o'clock and goes
through the task of pitching the tent.
Company f appeared yesterday and
company B today.
There was no infantry parade yes
terday evening at o'clock and no ca
valry parade this morning at 10 as is
usual on these days, owing to the alb
sence of the band. The infantry pa
rade takes place Friday evening at
as usual, however, as the band will
have returned by that time.
Sergeant Weiseman, of troop B, Fifth
cavalry, stationed at Fort Mcintosh,
left here yesterday with Private Hud-
son, of his troop as a prisoner to re-
turn him to his station where he will
be tried by courtmartial. Hudson de-
serted about four weeks ago and was
apprehended in this city.
Major Dutton, of the Ordnance de-
partment will lecture in the post hop
room tomorrow night at o'clock to
the commissioned and non-commis-
stoned officers and their families, on
THE Present Conditions in Egypt"
The major is one of the finest lecturers
of the present day.
DR.. Wilson, who has been at this post
since the return of the cavalry from its
practice march, has returned to his
station, Camp Eagle Pass.
Lieutenant Lassiter, Of the First ar
tillery, had the misfortune to have his
bicycle stolen from him while it was
sitting in the hall of the bachelors
apartments several days ago and has
not heard of it since.
Notwithstanding the muddy weather
the troops were mounted in white duck
trousers yesterday morning.
Sergeant Major Sorensen, of the
Fifth cavalry and also Of Post Sam
Houston, has several sharpshooter
medals. The sergeant is a very affa-
BILE and polite gentleman and is well

an enviable record of service in the
army. He is especially courteous to
visitors at the post.

BLANCO'S DOWNFALL.

viii be Celebrated Throughout the
Republic of Venezuela.
New York, May ia special to the
Herald from Caracas says:
The citizens of Caracas have decid-
ed to make the anniversary of the
overthrow of Gusman Blanco May 20
by demonstration. There is to be
Il parade, the various election socie-
ties having promised to take part in it
notable those comprising the adherents
of Rojas Paul, who is now apparently
the popular ideal.
The full program of the demonstra-
ton has been issued and large force
of additional policemen have been ap-
pointed to serve on the day of the pa
rade. The committee in charge of the
affair has also sent request to the
governor to exercise his full authority
in preserving order.
The reason for these extraordinary
precautions lies in the fact that the
promoters of the demonstration fear a
riot when the day arrives. The gov
eminent organs have apparently de-
nOunced the whole affair, thus arous-
ing anger in the minds of the people.
1t is predicted that there will be Sc
riOus trouble.

INDIAN TROUBLES.

Talequah, 1. T., May 19.-The bust
ness before the Dawes and Choctaw
committees is progressing slowly. The
two commissions meet daily in joint
session and listen to all parties. The
town sites are represented by Hon. l..
B. Jell and w. P. Thomson, two half
breed attorneys. The churches and
mission schools have had their turn
and now the president of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway is here to
press the claim for each alternate sec
ton alongthe line of his road. Sew
eral days were given to the subject of
the allotment Of Chief Mayes, Secreta-
ry of the Treasury r. B. Ross and 9TH
er half breeds advising conservative
action and the full bloods unanimously
opposed any action whatever. This
opposition of the full bloods is bitter
and the members Of the Dawes COM
mission are heartily in sympathy with
them, yet all agree that the very ma
ture of things demands a change in the
form of government here. The full
bloods stand upon the treaties and de-
mand a fulfillment Of the strip agree
ment before entering into negotiations
looking toward allotment.

HEARD FROM At LAST.
Message Received From A
Long Lost Steamer.
HAS BEEN TOSSED BY THE
ANGRY WAVES FOR FOUR
TEEN YEARS,
Forty Persons We're Aboard The
III Fatei Vessel And Not One
Lived To Tell The Tale
Of Her Terrible
Disaster.

bayfield,, Wis, May 19.-Five miles
south of this harbor, half imbedded in
the sand on the beach, James Taggart,
a lumber man, discovered the first
message from the forty persons who
persisted in the wreck of the steamer
"Manistee," nearly IA years ago.
1t was a note carefully enclosed in a
heavy glass bottle. The writing had
faded with the lapse of years and the
glass of the bottle was worn thin with
it's constant beating against the san
dy shores of Chequamagon bay. The
message on the note was as follows:
November, 1SS9-Left Bayfield, at IL
p. m. Just in sight of Michigan light
house. We may not survive the storm.
Heavily laden and hard to turn in the
storm (signed)
CAPT. MKAY,
Steamer 'Manistee' 4"
The writing had faded so as to be al
most illegible. There is a general i'm
preston here that the message is gen
uine. The action of the sand and
waves on the bottle shows that it has
been tossed around the beach for a
long time. The faded writing also
proved conclusively that the note was
not written a few weeks ago for the
purpose of hoax.
The "Manistee" was a wooden stea-
mer and was owned by the Lake Mich
igan and Lake Superior line and trad
ed between Chicago and Duluth. On
the night she went down she was on
the way from Bayfield, to Ontonagon,
on her trip to Chicago. 1t was to
have been the last trip of the season
and it was late in starting. A north
gale set in shortly after the steamer
left port and the weather was bitterly
cold, the thermometer registering near
the zero mark. The fate of the Man
istee was never known. The steamer
city of Duluth" of the same iein, left
Bayfield, just ahead of the lost ship.
When last seen she was clear of the
group of islands at the mouth of the
bay known as the Apostles. When
the non-appearance of the Manistee
made the officials of the line anxious
a searching expedition was fitted out.
The only result of this was the find
ing of some wreckage from the lost
boat. Out of the forty persons on
board when she went down not one
was left to tell how the steamer sank
nor were any bodies washed ashore.
With the exception of the floating
wreckage, nothing was ever found
from the steamer until Mr.. Taggart
picked up the bottle. 1t is thought
the machinery Of the steamer gave out
that night in the storm and the spray
was frozen so that it was impossible
to lower the life boats to save the crew.
This is further strengthened by the
fact that the CITY Of Duluth" went
through the gale all right. The cargo
of the Manistee was largely mill stuffs.

Topeka, Kas., May 1.-THE agitation
for the enforcement Of the prohbitory
law in Kansas, renewed recently by
the State Temperance union, as TO-
suit OF open violation Of the law in To-
peka, has caused a split in the Popu-
list ranks.
Governor Leedy appeared last night
at Hamilton hall where the Temper
ance societies held a mass meeting. At
the first meeting the governor and his
police commissioners were roundly de-
nounced for failure to enforce the pro-
hibition laws. The governor startled
the audience by a little denunciatIon
on his own part. He declared that the
State Temperance society had fallen
into the hands Of agents of railroads
and corporations and that they were

with the utmost bravery upon the
part of the Greeks and failed. The

A JUDGES CHARGE.
He says Anyone With Money Can Be
Cleared of Murder.

Kansas City, May 19.-"It is begin
ming to look as If any man with money
can kill a man in this country and
get clear" This was the stratling
statement made by Judge Wofford,
from the bench of the Criminal court
yesterday. The judge seemed to be
angry when he spoke. He said he was
annoyed by the fact that several per-
sons charged with murder and other
atrocious crimes had recently been ac-
quilted or their trials had resulted in
hung juries. He had particularly in
mind the case of Benz. Gales, indicted
for the murder of Monroe Balesat,
who had been tried twice and each
trial resulted in a disagreement of the
Jury.
The Judge believed. he said, that in
each case the the jurymen were brib-
ed. He believed that the office of
Samuel Chiles, county marshal, was
responsible in large measure for the
disagreement of the juries.

HOLDING BACK BILLS.
Rumors Which Are in Circulation
at Washington.
ARE DENIED BY SOME SENATOR'S.

Leaders of Both Houses Have Agreed to
Hold Back Appropriation Bills Until
the Extra Session, So Madame Rumor
Has It-Thurston Resumes His Speech
on the Pacific Railroad Debt in the Sem
ate-The Arbitration Treaty.
Washington, Feb. S.-There has been
a report in circulation at the Capital
for the past few days that the leaders Of
both houses have practically agreed to
hold back several of the annual appro-
priation bills until the extra session, in
order to allow time for the considera-
tion of other measures that would 9TH
erwise have to be abandoned.
The report is not verified by any of
the senators or representatives in
charge of the appropriation bills. In
deed, Chairmen Cannon and Allison of
the house and senate committees re-
spectively deny it absolutely, but at
least one influential member of the
house is authority for the statement
that the plan mentioned is under ad-
visement.
1t is known to be the desire of Presi-
dent-Elect Mckinley to have all appro-
priation bills passed at this session. He

BUFFALO KILLED AT FOND DU LAC.
An Unusual Sight Witnessed by Many
People.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Feb. S.-The un-
usual sight of the killing of bison In
Fond du Lac was witnessed by about
twenty men, the victim being a fero-
cious buffalo, which Ella Waters has
had in his city since last summer. The
scene of the shooting was the barn at
the hear Of the Gurney factory. A ball
from Fred G. Hurlbut's pet Savage"
rifle brought down the bison, death be-
ing instantaneous. The buffalo weighed
1900 pounds and was one brought to
this city from Texas last July by Mr..
Waters, who had purchased herd for
the island in Yellowstone park, Wyom-
ing. which a company in which he Is
a stockholder, leases from the United
States government. Their lease Of the
island has just been renewed for ten
years.
Owing to the fierce disposition of the
animal 1t was not shipped out of this
city with the remainder of the herd
last summer. Since separated from his
mates, the buffalo has grown more vio-
lent and the utmost precaution had to
be exercised by his keeper to prevent
him from accomplishing any harm.

CAN NOT INTERFERE.
The European Concert Is Now
Without Force.
SULTAN CAN PURSUE HIS COURSE.

Ne Has Not Now Only the Destinies of His
own Country in His Hands but the Peace
of All Europe-signs Which Mark the
Return of Count Muravien, Who Ex-
presses Himself as Most Favorabiy I'M
pressed with the Meline Cabinet.
st. Petersburg, Feb. S.-Highly inter-
esting are the signs which mark the
return of Count Muravieff, showing as
they do the wisdom of the imperial
command which sent him in all haste
direct to France at a time when all
sorts of intrigues. of which there Is
now documentary proof, were being
used to break the good relations be-
tween Russia and France and force
Russia's hand in her peaceful policy at
Constantinople. A diplomat who is in
the best position to know said in con-
versation: Nothing will come of the
deliberations at Constantinople beyond
giving Turkey what assistance may be
needed to right her"
Concert without Force.
The Glasnost, which has special
sources of information, says: THE Eu-
ropean concert is without force. The
sultan has nothing to fear. The pow
ers are not now demanding his terri
tory, as in the past, but are all calling
for the Turks to remain and giving
them money for the necessary reforms.
The sultan has now not only the des-
| TIMES of his own country in his hands
| but also those of the peace of Europe"
The Novoe Vremya touching on the
results of Count Muravieff's return, In a
| strong article says: Russia and France
will never accept Lord Salisbury's pol
| icy of the partition of Turkey. Germany
has no interest in playing England
game and it is inconvenient for Austria
to act contrary to Germany"
Count Muravieff, in conversation, ex-
pressed himself as most favorably Inn
pressed with the Meline cabinet.
Made People Doubt.
The Interview with M. Hoskier, pub
lished in the Neue Freie Presse, from
its Paris correspondent. relative TO M
Hoskier's visit to st. Petersburg and hi:
audience with the emperor, made peo
ple doubt whether the Austrian news
paper man had understood well wha
was said to him by the French banke
! or whether the latter did not overesll
mate his influence and whether his re
membrance of Tho imperial audienc
granted to him was exact. AT any rate
the account has not made a favorabl
impression in ST. Petersburg. One in
! sinuation was that NJ. Hoskier had init
mated that unless Russia assiste
France in obtaining her financial claim
in Turkey Russia would have ntti
} chance of obtaining future loans i
France. This is not considered here t
, be the case at all.
