WALK ON THE WATER.
Extraordinary People Who In
habit TiburOn Island.

Washington, Nov. 17.-United States
Consul Hugh Long a Nogales, Mexico
has furnished the state department par
tculars of the supposed murder of par
ty of Americans, headed by Captain Por-
ter, by the Seris Indians. on TiburOn ISL
and, in the Gulf of California. Accord
ing to the statement made to the NIe1i-
can customs officials by Martin AIendez
master of the sIoop Otila, Captain Porter
sailed from San Diego, Cal, with his
companions in a small boat to engage in
collecting shells. They left the port of
Guaymas August 9, under special permis~
sion from the Mexican government to ex-
pIOre the shores and islands of the gulf.
The consul says the island of Tiburon
is one of the largest and most picturesque
in the Gulf of California, and is peopled
by a most remarkable tribe of Indians,
who are noted for their large size and
extraordinary athletics on land and water.
Those who have witnessed their aquatic
sports at a respectful distance declare
that many of them can actually walk or
rather run, upon the water with no other
assistance than broad rawhide shoes.
They are, writes the consul, expert fish
ermen and huntsmen, having rigid ideas
as to the maintenance of game preserves
on the island and limiting the killing of
game under severe penalties. They de-
stroy all children in infancy that are mall
formed or appear to be lacking in inteln>
gence. In this way the standard of
physical and mental conditions in both
sexes is kept very high.
1t is currently believed that at one time
the native women We're exterminated to
make room for whittier and superior race
of women. The nucleus of this race of
higher women was formed from captives
made at various times, extending over
series of years on land and water. They
have no schools. but each home has
system of physical training. The ma
tives guard their shores day and night,
and no man is allowed to penetrate the
island even if he should make a landing
It is said that no epidemics have ever
prevailed on the island and disease is
scarcely known among this extraOrdin>
ary people SO that the men and women
are magnificent in their physical endow-
ment. No man or woman is allowed to
live beyond the age of 70 years, no mat
ter how well preserved in body and mind
Bv. careful selection a large per centage
of the women have a transparent, peachy
complexion and deep auburn hair.

MORE TIME FOR RAILROADS
Not More Than Five Per Cent Have
Compiled With the Automatic
Coupler Law

Washington, D. c., Nov. lion De
cember l, the interstate commerce
commission will give a hearing to the
railroads that have petitioned for an
extension of the time in which to equip
their freight cars and locomotives
with automatic car couplers in cOmpli-
ance with the law of 1898.
The law, with its fines and penalties,
is to become operative January 1, 189S
unless the commission exercises the
authority granted to it by the law, to
give an extension of time.
Monday was the last day for the re-
ception of petitions for extension. The
commission estimates that something
less than per cent of the railroads
have complied fully with the provis-
ions of the law.
The New York Central and the c., B.
& Q. are the only prominent systems
thoroughly equipped. About 80 per cent
of the other roads have applied for an
extension, and the remainder, prOba-
bly, 500 or more, have taken no action
whatever
Several of the individual branches of
the various railroad orders have pro-
tested against an extension, and pro-
badly they will be given a hearing in
connection with the roads. None of
the railroad organizations as a whole
have entered protests against an ex-
tension. There seems to be little doubt
that the commission will extend the
time

TO BE CUT UP ALIVE.
A Boston Man Reported to Be
in the Hands of a London
ViviSectiOnist.

London, Nov. 1.-THE officials of
the United States embassy say that
the story of the alleged kidnapping Of
Henry S. Clay Of Boston, Mass, by a
prominent physician, who is an ardent
vivisectiOnist, is q pure invention.
CLAY" is pronounced to be a myth
cal parsonage, and the letter received
at the United States embassy, telling
of the kidnapping" is said to have
been merely the device of a begging
letter writer, who himself delivered the
letter alleged to have been found on
the sidewalk in Harley street which
is mainly occupied by leading physic-
ians,' in order to obtain half a crown
for his trouble
The United States embassy investi-
gated the matter yesterday morning
and found that the address given did
not exist, and pronounced the whole
story to be a flake"
According to dispatch published in
this city the letter referred to, ad-
dressed to the United States ambassa-
dor, had on it the superscriptiOn:
''WnI the finder deliver Immediately
for Gods sake?" It was further al
legged that the nissive was found by
"a respectable man, describing him
self as John Garner, a schOolmaster of
Harrow Road" and is said to have
contained a statement setting forth
that the writer, Henry S. Clay, was
resident of Boston and has been de-
ceived into the house of a prominent
physician who is an ardent vivisec-
ZIONIST"
It was added that since his entry in
to the house, Clay had been confined
in a garret, a little food being given
him, but opiates had been mixed with
it. Clay further said that he was
convinced his captor intends to operate
upon him and implored the ambassa-
dor to procure his release.
The embassy officials, not satisfied to
leave any loophole. requested the au-
thorities of Scotland yard to inquire
into the matter and the police detect
ives pronounce the whole story an i'm
posture.
The man who brought the note yes
terday was given half a crown and
asked to return to the embassy today,
but he failed to put in an appearance.

SOCIALISTS ORGANIZE.
viii Extend Their Organization
From Southeastern Counties
Where It First Sprang Up All
Over the State.
Express Distrust of All Other PoJiti-
cal Parties-Elects Its Officers.

Some months ago when a small number
of miners and laboring men in southeast
ern Kansas effected an organization of
the Socialist party the PopuHst leaders
laughed at the rumor that the new party
meant disintegration of the ranks of
the PopuIists. When the matter was pre-
sented to him. John BreidenthaI. who was
then chairman Of the state committee,
said:
The Socialist Labor party is essen
TALLY a branch of Populsm, and when
the election takes place it will be demon
strated that the members of the new
party viii stand by the Populist party
The governor and other state officers
also shared this opinion. The new party
was then only local in its organization.
Now a state organization has been effect
ed and the effort to secure new support
ers win be extended to every nook and
corner of the state.
This new organization was completed
Sunday "a Pittsburg and officers were Sc
lected to push the work. The feature that
worries the Popunsts is the declaration
by the meeting Sunday to the effect that
the laboring men have been betrayed by
every party on earth and that the time
has come for them to stand together to
prevent a complete usurpation Of their
rights by designing politicians.
The convention Sunday was held in re-
sponse to a call from J. Elknor. state or
ganizer of the Socialist party. It was
first meeting of the four district or
ganizati0ns. followed by a mass meet
ing in which propaganda was favored by
all the speakers. A c. Gallagher, who
was state mine inspector under Governor
Lewelling, was the most radical of the
speakers He declared:
we have been betrayed by every po>
utical organization with which we have
been associated and it is time for US to
organize a party TO which we may always
turn for support and maintenance of our
principles"
The officers of the organization formed
to promulgate the principles of the new
party and to build up its membership are
as follows:
President, J. c. Buchanan of Pittsburg.
who was candidate for state printer be-
fore the legislature last winter.
Secretary. James Roberts. Pittsburg
Treasurer, c. H. Lipscomb. Fort Scott.
Executive committees: J. c. Buchanan,
George f. Boomer. W. H. McCIosky.
James Roberts and c. H. Lipscomb.
The four district organizations then er-
fected a general organization, electing the
following officers:
Executive committee: DR.. Barbour F.
A Cain. Chas Bateman, f. Elknor. Chas.
Heising. F. J. Heising. E. J. Lewis and
C c. Aiken.
This committee selected its officers as
follows

KANSAS FED ON ALUM.
The Harmful Drug Concealed in Bak-
ing Powders.

Recent investigation shows that the
stores are largely stocked with baking
powders which contain alum, the in
furious ingredient which the Iowa and
Minnesota State Boards of Health have
so strongly condemned. England, Ger
many and France have laws prohibit
ing the use of alum in bread, and the
state of Minnesota forbids baking pow
der containing alum to be put upon the
market unless the words this baking
powder contains alum are printed upon
the label of every package offered for
sale This is the danger signal which
the law throws out for the protection
of the people. Yet many of the max
erS of alum baking powders such as
the Calumet" while keeping away
from Minnesota have the effrontery to
offer their condemned powders to the
consumers here. Many of these alum
powders are generally labeled pure"
best in the world none so good or
with some other equally misleading
catch phrase.
Below will be found a partial list of
the baking. powders sold in this market
that have been examined and found to
contain alum:
Calumet ....,.:......-. Contains Alum
Gaques Mfg. Co, Chicago9
Taylor's One Spoon. Contains Alum.

In addition to this list all brands

Eastern People Still Encouraging
"Uordial Feeling" Between East
and West

Gov. Leedy has received the follow
ing letter from an eastern man:
Noting your Thanksgiving prOcla-
nation, in which you allude to reduc-
tiOn of their Indebtedness by the peo-
pie Of Kansas, let me point out to you
that this Indebtedness would have
been further decreased had not the
vote of your state on the free silver
question turned the scale in favor of
J. w Bryan at the last election. In
other words. a majority OF your pOpu-
lation voted to sWindle their creditors.
No state with a majority OF decent,
self-Tesp specting people would have
elected q man of your stamp as gov
ernOr. I can we'll infer that YOU are
good enough for Kansas. Your people
are like the frog in the fable, and as
