tral railroad and bringing the company

Sailing Vessel Loubet With a Mum
ber of Wealthy Mon Lost.

New York, May 13.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres, Argentine,
says:
United States Minister William L
Buchanan has begun an investigation
to find out. if possible, what has become
of the American sailing vessel Joseph
F. Loubet. which, it is feared, has been
lost somewhere between this port and
Terra del Fuego.
The vessel, which was commanded by
Capt. T. H Connors, and had on board
Moses Y Ransom. a wealthy Ameri-
can and several prominent young men
from Cleveland. O., left this port in
January in search for gold
The LOubet is a small vessel and the
fact that nothing has been heard from
her has given rise to the fear that she
has been lost.
Minister Buchanan has undertaken
the investigation al the request of the
American relatives and friends OF the
men aboard the LOubet, who are anX-
ious to ascertain as much as possible
regarding the movements OF the yes
sci since she was last seen
Mr.. Ransom is a man of considerable
wealth and is a close personal trlenQ
of Senator Mark Hanna of Ohio. With
him on the Loubet were Charles Ran
som his son; Kirk Gardner, son Of
former mayor of Cleveland; Douglas
Rankins. Jr. son of a capitalist of
Cleveland; Walter Powers and w. H.
Huntington. engineers; VIM Harris,
draughtsman, and Hugh Kinds
Just before the vessel left New Ork
Mr.. Ransom stated that his destination
was SIuggard Bay, Terra del Fuego- He
knew, he said. gold was abundant in
that vicinity. and with an invention
which he had recently perfected and
which he carried along, he hoped to
realize a fortune for himself and for
his comrades.
His machine was for the purpose of
separa ting gold from sand, and he said
The place he had selected for his opera
tions would prove not only the efficien-
cy of his invention, but would yield a
fortune.

Explains Wherein He Has No Power
Concerning Prohibitory Law.

To the Editor of The State Journal:
The resolutions adopted by the law and
order meeting at Hamilton hall on the
7th instant. declared it my legal duty as
county attorney to swear to complaints
brought under the prohibitory liquor law
of this state without knowledge on my
part other than information and belief:
and as a basis therefor call my atten-
ton to the case of the state VS.. Foster
80 Kansas, Il.
That case was predicted upon section
u. chapter 12S laws of 1881, and which
specially directed and required the coun-
ty attorney to verify such complaint by
AFFIDAVIT on information and belief.
Said section Z. so far it required
the verifica ton of complaints by county
attorneys was. in the case of state VS.
Gleason reported in the same volume as
the Foster case 90 Kan, 245) declared
unconstitutional and void; and the legis-
lature by chapter 149. laws of 1885
amended said section y by striking out
such provision requiring county attor-
neys to make and verify such complaints;
and provided in lieu thereof. as sug>
gested by the court in the Gleason case.
for subpOenaing witnesses before the
county attorney and taking their sworn
statement as a basis in filing informa-
tions. But of course. the learned attor-
neys who prepared that part of the
resolutions had overlooked this fact. The
county attorney has no power to file
complaints on information and belief,
and his authority in that direction is the
same, and no greater than that pos
sessed by any private citizen.
AS county attorney it has been and is
my paramount purpose to faithfully and
impartially obey and execute all the
criminal laws of the state. 1 stand ready
at all times as such officer to perform
every known duty under the law.

GETTING INFORMATION.
The President Will Learn All Posi-
BILE About Cuba and Then Decide.

Washington May 13.-PresIdent Nc
Kinley devoted two hours today to lis
tening TO an unofficial report on the Gu
ban situation given by Edwin T.
Atkins of Boston, who has extensive su-
gar plantati tions in Cuba Mr. Atkins IS
warm personal friend Of Secretary Long
and has Just returned from Cuba and to-
day the secretary accompanied him to the
White house They arrived shortly after
10 o'clock and were Immediately shown
into the cabinet room. The president sent
for Judge Day. the assistant secretary Of
state and the distinguished trio for two
hours listened to Mr.. Atkins exposition
of the Cuban situation as indicated by
the military operations and with relation
to the American interests on the island.
During the conference all visitors were
excluded. many senators and representa-
tives being denied admission 1t is not
known what Mr.. Atkins said to the
president but there is reason to believe
his representations favored the tnsur-
gents.
Mr.. Atkins during the early part of the
revolution was inclined to take the pro-
Spanish side of the controversy but it is
asserted is now convinced that the inter
ests of the island demand the victory of
the insurgents.
The president has gathered all the in
formation possible on Cuba and in tho
light of this and the report of Mr. Cal
houn now in Havana, will decide on his
course of action

Washington. May 13.-The delay by
the senate committee on foreign rela-

is for the purpose of giving the presi-
dent an opportunity to act.
Representations have been made to
him that there is no necessity for i'm
mediate action. 1t has also been repre-
sented that the matter of recognition
ought to be by the executive and not
by the legislative branch of the govern
ment. The president has been urged al
so to take some steps looking to the re
lief of the starving Americans in Cuba
1t is the belief of members of the com
mittee that the president viii take act

done by that time there is no doubt that

THE POLICE BOARD FIGHT
Steele May be Removed But Billiard
the Chief Wrongdoer Undis-
turbed.

The affairs of the Topeka police board
are unchanged today. The POpulists
who are making a fight on Commission
er Henderson and Chief Steele are con
fident that they will secure the dismis-
sal of both men.
One of the members of the delegation
which waited on Governor Leedy yes
terday said today to Journal reporter:
Il am confident that both Steele and
Henderson viii be dismissed 1 cannot
tell you why 1 say so but L believe it
just the same and have mighty good
grounds for my belief
After l came back from the COVER
nor's office yesterday a well known
jointist came to see me. He asked me
what 1 thought would be the result in
Steele's case and 1 told him Steele
would have to go. As soon as he left
me he went to Chief Steele and told
him what 1 said That is just what I
wanted. The jOintist Will put up a hard
fight to have Steele retained but I be-
heVe they will be unsuccessful
The most guilty man of the whole pO-
lice board SO far as enforcement of the
law is concerned is President Billiard
but the present fight is not founded on
a high regard for principle and the law
but merely petty squabble over Off

Americans. of which there are now
comparatively few instances.
The report also indicates a gener-
ally wretched condition of all the in
habitants of the island because of the
scarcity of food and money, and es-
pecially in the centers of population,
and because also of the pressure of the
most malignant diseases, such as yel-
low fever, smallpox and dysentery.
These diseases the natives Withstand
with comparative ease. but they are
especially oppressive to the Spanish
soldiery.
The reports indicate that the Spanish
army is not so strong now as it was
year ago, largely on account of these
ravages, While they indicate no diminu
uOn of the insurgent forces.
The reports upon which the sub-cOm-
mittee's brief was based We're from
various consuls, including Consul Cen
eral Lee. They make no recommended
tiOns as to the American policy but
merely give the situation as they see
it.
In view of the developments in the
to press the consideration of his resO-
luton today, but he will make an ef-
fort to have the question made the un-
finished business Monday at o'clock.
The senate acquiescence on the Ala
bama senator's part to delay is under
stood to be given under the impression
that it will result in bringing to the res
olutiOn the support of the entire COM
mittee on foreign relations. This will,
of course, materially strengthen the
resolution in the senate and, it is be
lieved by its friends, will expedite its
passage there.
1t is now probable that the committee
will not make any formal report and
that the correspondence will not be
given to the public for the present.
