The mayoralty campaign at Kan
sas City, Kan, was made the oc-
casion for the defest of a. candidate
who is alleged to havejilted q young
woman to whom he was engaged.
She was school teacher, and when
her lovers fai:hlessness and his can
didacy were announced at the same
time l2O of her teacher friends set
about to encompass his defeat.
They secured carriages and put in a
whole day against him. Women
have the franchise in that city and
the entire woman vote vent solidly
against the tickle lover. This is a
new phase Of politics and where
women possess suffrage candidates
will do well to remain true to their
promises, sentimental or otherwise.

THE LION OF THE HOUR
CORBETT ARRIVES AT THE SCENE
OF THE COMING BATTLE.
Champion Gave the People the Slip
and Got Away to His Hotek
ut Once.

Carson, New, Feb. 16.-Corbett was met
at the train by nearly half of the popu-
lation of the city and they stood in the
rain to get a glimpse of the champion
but Jim slipped out the back end of the
car while the conductor gave the tip that
the pugilist was in the front end on the
smoker. Corbett went to his hotel at
once and was soon playing pool with his
brother Joe. He said he will train over
the hills and mountains as course to
run over instead Of the smooth roads.
Corbett said:
This sudden change in altitude from
the sea level to nearly 5000 feet above is
an experiment with me and | am anX-
ious to get to work and see what the
effect, SO L will get out as soon as pos
sible. | have heard a great deal about
this matter Of altitude, but I am sure /
can say nothing about it until [ have
been in training a couple of days
The champion declares that he will be
prepared on the 18th of March to make
the fight of his life and it is plain that
he considers it the fight for his life.
Martin Julian arrived on the train this
evening and is in search of a place FOR
training quarters for E'itzsimmons He
looked at Steamboat Springs, but did not
like the looks Of the place, and will en-

BOISE LEGISLATORS WERE BUSY.
Senate Held Until &; House Had an
Evening Session.

Boise. Idaho, Feb. 16.-Today was a
busy one in the legislature. The senate
in the afternoon met at / O'Clock and held
until 6, while the house INDUCED in an
evening session.
The senate passed the bill reducing the
number of regents Of the university from
nine to five. The bill making an appro-
pria ton for the completion of the Little
Salmon division of the state wagon route
was killed. The struggle of the day was
over the medical bill. 1t was pushed
along to within a few lines of the end
when Davis of Oneida offered a section
adding scale of fees to be charged by
doctors. Ballentine of Ada and Turner of
Bingham who had been steadily voting
with the majority, indicated a willingness
to consider the new proposition and the
committee stopped and left the rest of
the bill until morning
In the house a bill was put through the
committee of the whole, making pro-
vision respecting the care of the state
funds, the action Of the body being hur
ried by the failure of the Blackfoot bank.
The bill abolshing the office OF state
mine inspector was passed.
Both houses voted to adjourn from
Saturday noon until Tuesday at 1 o'clock
in order to permit the members to accept
an invitation to make a trip to Salt Lake
Monday is a legal holiday and the only
time lost will be Saturday afternoon and
Tuesday morning, it being agreed that
night sessions be held to make this up.
The state funds bill provides that the
treasurer shall make a call for warrants
I1-bn 1a hos
hand and all money belonging in the per
manent funds shall be invested at once in
state warrants. The scare here respect
ing the safety of the states funds led the
governor to demand a count of the money
in the Capital State bank, in which the
bulk of the money is deposited The de-
posit amounted to $4,000 and more than
100000 was found in the vault of the

MAHER HAD A NARROW ESCAPE,
"H2acl4 ThuntierbaIt Made Him
weary ia SiX-RNund Eight.

B':ffalo, N. Y, Feb. 15.-Peter Maher
had a narrow escape from defeat when
he tackled c. C. Smith, the BLACK
Thunderbolt,'' for six rounds at the En-
pre Athletic Club. Maher started out to
finish the fight in one round. He land
ed on Smiths head with right and left
repeatedly. Smith was evidently fright
ened, and did not show up well, but in
the second round Smith made things very
lively for a While. Toward the close of
the round, however, Maler landed his
right on the jaw repeatedly, and mad
Smith all but out when the gong saved
him.
In the third Smith landed frequently on
Maher,s wind, and Peter was very tired
when the gong sounded. In the fourth
they came together hard. Smith was
pounded right and left, and was on his
last legs when time was called
In the fifth Smith was bleeding badly,
but was full of fight, and made Maher
weak. Maher was on the run when the
bell rung.
When the sixth and last round opened
Quinn called to Maher repeatedly to put
Smith out. Peter did not have the
strength to carry out his instructions. He
parried for wind, and the crowd hissed
him.
When the round closed the referee gave
the decision to Maher
1t was the general opinion that the
lrishman would have been out himself in
two more rounds.

GREECE HAS CRETE
ANNEXATION OF THE ISLANDS is
ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.
Colonel VnssOs, Commander Of Hell

Canea, Feb 16.-The occupation Of "a
nea was carried out by the foreign lleets
with the consent of Turkish officials anC
is not in any way likely to add to the
complications at Constantinople. The
commander Of the Greek fleet was alsc
formally notified Of the joint occupation
of this place.
The Turkish authorities are demoraliZed
and are simply following out the recon-
mendations they receive from foreign adj
mirals, who are acting in accord and con-

consent Of the powers to the annexation Of
the island to Greece although it does not
seem as if that country was willing to
wait any longer for the necessary permis-
sion and intends to administer all
parts of the island not occupied by for
eign marines.
The proclamation of Colonel Vassos, the
commander of Grecian forces of Platon-
lea, was dated at the convent of Coma
and read:
"Cretans: You are suffering from the
present state of anarchy and are exposed
TO eXcesses of fanatical populace-ex
cesses which have awakened the national
sentiment and have deeply stirred the
Hellenic people. This lamentable stua-
ton of a people of the same race and
same religion, having common destinies
with ourselves, could not any longer te
allowed to exist
The king of the Hellenes, my august
master, had resolved to end this state of
things by a military occupation Of Crete
In proclaiming this occupation to the ir-
habitants, without distinction Of religion
or nationality, l promise, in the name of
his majesty, to protect honor, life and
property, and respect the religious con-
victions of the inhabitants, while bringing
them peace ana law"

| DEATH OF WILLIAM P. ST. JOHN.
Treasurer of the Democratic Nution-
al Committee.

New York, Feb 15.-William P. st
tional bank of this city, and treasurer OF
the democratic national committee died
| suddenly at his home in this city last
| night. He died of a complication of kid
ney and stomach troubles.
Mr. st. Johns death occurred at s
o'clock last evening. During the after
noon he sustained an apoplectic stroke,
which was followed by several hours of
unconsciousness. Mr.. St. John was so
broken down after the presidential cleo
ton that in December he went south for
a change of scene and air. During the
last month, however, he returned to this
city, having experienced no benefit from
the trip.
William Pope st. John was born in
Mobile, Ala, in 1S47. His father, who was
also banker, gave him an academical
educa ton. st. John came to this CITY
when quite young, and soon took charge
OF the credit department of the gold and
silver trust He then was employed by
the Mercantile National bank, and even
tually became president. For many years
he was widely known as a student of i'm
anclal problems, and frequently contrib
uted to current literature on those sub
jects. AT nearly all gatherings to discuss
problems Mr. st. John was an
easily recognized figure. His tendency
towards free silver sentiments was rea-
SON for much comment among his fellow
bankers Of this city, and When last year
he accepted the office of treasurer of the
allied silver forces, he resigned as presi-
dent of the bank. on the first of the
year Mr.. st. John was dropped as
director of the Mercantile National and
Second National banks Of this city. In
December he became a member of the
produce exchange.

tary Bill.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 15.-In committee of the
whole today the house of representatives rec

of Neihart and Barker, to Cascade county.
Another bill passed this session took a good

a committee on the continuance of the bureau
of agriculture, labor and industry. Early in

to exist but with a much smaller allowance
for expenses,
