TWO GRAND HALLS
Will Be Crowded With Masked
Dancers on Carnival Night.

The grand ball masque to be given
by the Karnival Knights at Hamilton
hall tomorrow evening will excel any
thing heretofore attempted in the Kar-
nival line. Hamilton hall has been
appropriately decorated for the occa-
sion. MarShalPs and Manifold'S Mill
tary bands will furnish the music for
the first hour-after which Watson's
and Steinberg's combined orchestras
twenty-five pieces, will play the regular
dances.
The Karnival Knights have spared
neither time nor money to make this
ball everything that it should be.
Invitations must be presented at the
door, and tickets cannot be provided
unless the party applying for the same
has an invitation with his name writ
ten thereon. The ball will be as fine
as any ever given in Topeka and the
company as select as the best cities in
Kansas can produce
A space has been reserved for spec
tators holding invitations, who don't
desire to mask, but none Will be allowed
to participate in the dancing unless
masked and in costume.
Out of town parties who are properly

M'KINLEY RETURNS.
The Presidential Family Again at the
White House.

Washington. Sept. 30.-President Nc
Kinley and party arrived in Washing
ton at 10 o'clock this morning, over the
Pennsylvania road. The return trip
was made without incident. Quite a
crowd gathered at station to witness
the home coming. Both the president
and Mrs. Mckinley acknowledged the
greeting by smiling and bowling pleas
antly to those who were assembled.
They then entered carriages and were
driven to the White House.
In addition to Mr.. and Mrs. McKin-
ley the party consisted of Attorney
General and Miss McKenna, Miss Mabel
Mckinley, Mrs. McKinley's maid and
Mr.. Cortelyu, one of the White House
clerks. Postmaster General Gary board
ed the train at Baltimore and rode to
Washington with the president. Mr..
Mckinley had hardly reached the
White House, before Secretary Sher-
man appeared and held a brief CONSUL
tation with him, presumably in refer
ence to the fall of the Spanish cabinet.

CHINA HAS TWO STRINGS
To Her Financial Bow and Pulls First
One, Then the Other.

London, Sept 30.-The Times this
morning publishes a long letter on the
financial situation in China. Among
other things the writer says the fresh
fall in silver has wiped out the margin
for hypothecation, which remained out
of the customs revenues.
Continuing the letter says:
China is raising a new loan in order
to pay the balance of the Japanese in
demnity before 1898, as thereby the
treasury profits to the extent of two
and three-quarter millions aside from
the Japanese evacuation of Wei-Hai-
Wei. China is negotiating not only
with English and German banks, but
with the United States consul general,
who represents a powerful American
syndicate, including J. Pierpont Nor
gan and several minor financierS play
ing off one against the other. The fact
that the Hooley syndicate signed a pre-
Hminary contract need not be taken as
conclusive that there is any intention
to raise 16 millions in that quarter. AS
a matter of fact at the date of writing,
Shong is still receiving oVertureS from
the Americans and has been receiving
them ever since the signing of the pre-
Hminary contract.

Brought to an End.

In the United States court of private

as to the eastern boundary, on which
point counsel was asked to file briefs

and others are the claimants.
1t is not probable that the eastern
boundary can be so run as to interfere
with the placer mines in the san Pedro
region of South Santa Fe county. The
court also sustained the governments
objection to the survey of the Parajito
grant west of Albuquerque and cut out
of it some 1000 acres fronting on

UNCLE SANS FAULT.
Americas Attitude Toward Cuba
Caused Spanish Crisis.


London, Sept 3O.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Madrid says:
+ 1.-THE solution of the Spanish crisis
depends upon the policy to be adopted
towards the United States.
Liberal politicians declare that they
will stoutly resist Americas preten-
sions.
General Azcarraga, in a long inter-
view with the Queen Regent, today ex-
planned the situation. 1t is believer
that he asked her majesty if she was
ready to confirm the government in
necessary powers in view of the atti-
tude of the United States. In the in
terview he summoned the cabinet. The
meeting was attended by Senior Rever-
ter, the accommodated minister of
France, and Senior CoS-Cayon, minister
of the interior, both of whom rendered
their designations. Shortly after the
premier rendered the resignation of the
entire cabinet
Washington, Sept. 30.-The news of
the Spanish cabinet crisis was hrst
brought to the attention of the officials
of the state department and diplomatic
corps through the Associated Press bull
letin from Madrid. 1t is said that Min
lister Woodford'S failure to cable the
department was attributed to the fact
that it was after nightfall in Madrid
before the news became known. 1t
cannot be said that the event caused
surprise among the officials of the state
department or among the members or
the diplomatic corps in Washington. A
careful inspection of the cable news
for the past few weeks had left the gen
eral impression that the cabinet erect
ed in haste after the assassination of
Premier Canovas could not be expected
to survive long.

ALL KINDS OF GOLD.
The Portland is Expected to Bring
Down Much Wealth.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept 30
According to Captain Munger of the
Cutter Grant, it is the Bear and not
the Corwin that will guard from all de-
spoilers the tons of Klondike nuggets
that the steamer Portland is to bring
from st. Michael. Orders for Captain
futile to thus act as a special police
man of the seas were taken to him by
the Corwin, which left Unalaska from
st. Michael the same day the Grant
started for this point, September 10.
The Alaska Commercial company's
steamer Bertha brought to Unalaska
news from St. Michael up to the 18th
inst. There were over 100 men from the
upper Yukon waiting to come down on
the Portland, and according to sailor
gossip, they had all kinds of gold. But
the officers of the Grant say that ac-
cording to their best information, no
vast amount of treasure will be brought
down.
