Kansas Statesmans' Logical Defense

Kansas Statesman's Logical Defense
of His Present Calling.
Atchison, Kas., March 1S.-Concern-
ing the good-natured chatting of the
press at his present diversion, ex-Sen-
ator John ]. Ingalls,, who went to Car
son City to write up the jrize fight,
said to a GlObe-DemOcrat correspon-
dent:
Il suppose if l had gone into the
hospital for political incurables after
my defeat and hung around Wash
ington, haunting the White House
and the departments, importuning
friends for Endorsements, and beg
ging for some place at home or
abroad where l could have bene sup
ported from the public treasury, my
course would have been considered
dignified and in strict accordance with
usage and precedent.
Like everybody else in these hard
times, l have suffered heavy losses in
the shrinkage of values and diminish
ed income, and have been compelled
10 earn my living by daily toll. am
grateful of the opportunity of getting
ny bread by reputable employment,
upon the lyceum platform and in
journalism, which affords reasonable
independence. Employment in the
public service is open to me, but
prefer freedom, even when accompan-
led by the fatigue of long Journeys and
privations of travel, to the bondage
and servitude of any position that does
not come directly from the people.
Benjamin Harrison writes for the
Ladies' Home Journal, and l can con-
ceive of no improperly of my writing
for a New York paper, or any other
periodical, upon any subject of hui
man interest, that does not require the
sale of my opinions or the sacrifice of
my individual judgment.
The administration of President
Mckinley will have my active and
cordial support, and when the next oc-
casiOn comes l shall omit no effort to
secure Republican ascendency in Kan
sas and the redemption of the state
from imbecile misrule and degreda-
ton"

MAY BRING A CRISIS.
A GREEK VESSEL FIRED ON AND
Is SUNK.
She Was Conveying Provisions and Mu-
nitions to Crete When an Austrian
Gunboat Ended Her Career.

Canea, Island of Crete, March 1S.-
The Austrian gun boat Zenike has
fired upon and sunk near Gambia, a
Greek vessel loaded with provisions
and munitions which were Intended
for the Greek forces in Crete. 1t APP
pears that the Zeniko, while watching
the Greek ships, was fired upon by
party of Insurgents. The Austrian
warship replied by sinking the Greek
craft and driving off the insurgents.
1t is feared when the news becomes
known that it will greatly irritate
the populace and may have influence
in precipitating crises which the
Powers are striving in every way pos
sible to avoid.
Athens. Greece. March 1S.-Accord-
ing TO persistent rumOrs circulated
here, Col. Vassos, commander of the
Greek army of occupation, has been
ordered to oppose the landing of for
eign troops now on their way to Crete.
This. however. may mean only for
NAL opposition as a protest against the
action of the Powers.
.Advices from Arta, on the Greek
frontier, show the privations of the
Turks there so great that some of
them are DESERVING to the Greek
camps.
The Turks at Previsa and Espirus
are arming in consequence of a con-
flict provoked by a Greek soldier be-
longing to the garrison of Actium.
The Turkish troops now occupy several
posts on the frontier. Batteries at
Arta are being constructed under the
direction of German officers. 1t is re-
ported in military circles that Russia
is about to land troops on the coast
of Macedonia.
The news that the Servian army re-
serves are being modified is causing
great anxiety to the Turkish military
authorities at Salonica.
London March 1S.-There will be
published tomorrow by John hurry,
a sixteen page pamphlet in the form
of letter from Ri. Hon. w. Z. Glad
stone. dated Cannes, March 13, to the
Duke of Westminster. 1t furnishes
remarkable evidence og Gladstone's
mental activity in politics and in the
political situation. The letter begins
by saying: my ambition is for rest
and peace alone, but every grain of
sand is part of the sea shore and con-
nected as l have been for nearly half
century with the eastern question
l feel that the inclination does not suf-
flee to justify silence"
Constantinople, March 1S.-Officials
of the Russian embassy here have
notified the Turkish government Of
the fact that Russian transport hay
ing on board troops intended for the
contingent of Russia for the occupa-
ton of the island of Crete will shortly
pass through the Dardanelles.
The embassies of the other Powers
have raised no objection to this, al
though by treaty the straits are clos
ed TO the warships of England.
Large numbers of Greek army re-
serve men and other volunteers are
leaving for Athens.
Paris. March 1S-It is reported here
that Prince Henry of Orleans will be
offered the position Of governor of
Crete.

Why We Need Two Ears.

Sound travels by waves radiating
from central point of disturbance, just
as waves radiate when a stone is
dropped into still water. So far as
the hearing OF each individual is con-
cerned, these waves move in a direct line
from the cause Of the sound to his ear,
the impact being the greatest IN the
car nearest DO the source. This being
the case, person who has totally lost
the sense Of hearing IN one ear, al
though be may imagine that the defect
is of little consequence, cannot locate
the direction of sound to save his life,
even when the center of disturbance is
quite near him

POOR EZETA.
His Death Did Not Cause Any Mourn
ing in Latin America.

His Death Did Not Cause Any Mourn
ing in Latin America.
New York, March 1S.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Panama, says:
The following opinions from cores
Dondents in the Central American
state relative to the death of Antonio
EZeta, formerly vice president of san
Salvador, express the general feeling
in those countries and are interesting,
showing as they do, that jingoism is
diving out even in republics which
have been accused of chronic turbu-
lence Of spirit:
In San Jose, Costa Rico, a cores
pondent states that the death or Ezeta
was regarded as a fortunate circum-
stance, inasmuch as 1T removed one
serious obstacle to the continuance
of peace in Central America
The correspondent of the Herald at
Managua, Nicaragua, writes that
there was general rejoicing in the
country when the news was received.
The people declared openly thaa death
had overtaken one of the worst ty-
rants who had ever held power in
Spanish America.
Guatemala heard of Ezeta's death
with Indifference.
In San Salvador, the correspondent
there writes: "EzsH had long been
politically dead SSd the report Of his
demise produced not the slightest
feeling of excitement"
The press and people of Honduras
expressed satisfaction when it heard
that Ezeta had died. l was looked
upon in that republic as a constant
menace to peace as long as he lived.
In Panama the press is more charit-
able and says that all political en-
mites had to be buried in the grave
of the man who melted them.

If the round garter is tfght enough

CARRIERS AND SUSPENDERS.
The Historic Girdle Gives Way to the
Harness

The suspender is gaining the day over
the carter and is indeed much more
worn by the really smart woman than
the round garter. The secret of which
Is that she has learned to make it serve
a two-foId purpose The old way of
wearing these suspenders fastened to
the sides of the corset has tendency
not only to push the corset out In front,
but what is much worse to force the
abdomen forward. But the clever
woman has hit upon q trick worth two
of that; one 50 simple that it seems
strange she should have been so long
finding it out, She has discovered that
one strap holds up the stocking exactly
ns well as two and this she wears
fastened to the front of her corset just
back of the steel, the effect of which
is to press the abdomen back Broad
bands of elastic with strong fastenings
at either end come ready to be worn in
this way; but there is scheme even
better than that which any woman can
make for herself. Take rGther wide
piece of silk elastic and incase it in two
nieces of ribbon stitched together and

Residence on the Island.
San Francisco. March 1S.-Advices
from Honolulu. by the steamship Aus
tralia, say that serious trouble is an
ticipated there over the refusal of the
customs authorities to permit the land
ing of 537 Japanese labOrerS brought
there recently by the Kobe Immigra-
ton company's steamer, Sshinshiu
Maru The local agents of the Jap
anese company have been placed I'M
der arrest, charged with violation Of
the immigration laws and Capt. Mlsh-
akinma, the commander of the steamer,
has been refused clearance papers uny
less he agrees to take back to Japan
the rejected immigrants. The reject
ed Japanese threaten to revolt and
they have the sympathy of the entire
Japanese people of the isl nd. The
case has been carried into me courts
and if the Japanese fail to find relief
there they will probably appeal to
their consul and if he interferes trou-
BILE is sure to follow. The customs
authorities are sure that they have
unearthed a gigantic attempt to i'm
port japanese into the country in VIC
lation of the immigration laws and
they propose to make it so warm
for the schemers that they will not
dare to attempt it again. Feeling runs
equally strong among the Anglo-SaX-
OnS of Honolulu.
