Clara Barton Wants to Know About
Cuban Relief Programme

New York, Oct. 27.-The following Lett
ter has been sent by Miss Clara Barton
of the Red Cross, to President McKtn-
ley;
advices, it appears, according to recent
newspaper dispatches, that in addition
to Matanzas, four other ports have been
declared open to the introduction, free
of duty, of supplies for the relief of the
concentrates and others in Cuba who
are suffering from the lack of food and
other necessities of life.
eff it is true that all customs restric-
tons have been removed and relief pro-
visions are now freely admitted, we
presume the American people expect
resumed. The Red Cross, however
having originally entered upon the field
at the request of the government, de-
sires to be guided in its action by the
wishes of the government, desires to re-
frain from taking any steps that win
interfere with the policy the governm ent
may have decided upon with respect to
the continuance of relief in Cuba.
IF, with the cessation of hostilities
between the United States and Spain,
it is now the intention of the govern
ment to take charge OF the distribution
in Cuba and complete the work of relief,
1t would perhaps be best that the Red
Cross retire from the field, lest by re-
manning 1t might cause some embar-
raSsment. On the other hand, if it is
desired that the Red Cross continue it
will of course be necessary to make ade-
quate preparations. We would there
fore respectfully ask that we may be in
formed concerning the wishes Of the
government in the matter.
The inquiry relative to the proposed
policy of the government with regard to
II administration of relief in Cuba 10
also prompted by the doubt that has
arisen IN connection with the disposition
of the cargo Of the transport ComaI 1t
is understood that the cargo of this YES
sci was, in accordance with the express
sed wish of the government, to be dis
tributed by the Red Cross, while on the
arrival of the ship at Havana, it trans
pired that the instructions given to her
commander did not contemplate such a
course.
1T is believed that there still exists
much suffering in Cuba in those dis
tricts where but little if anything has
been distributed since the raising of the
blockade and the opening of the ports
Hence the primary object of this letter
Is. as already minated, to INQUIRE
whether by the plan adopted the gov
eminent now contemplates making the
distribution of supplies itself or whetb-
er 1t is desired that the Red Cross shall
continue as the distributing agent OF
relief in Cuba

NO HELP FOR 1T.
Connecticut Must Be Content With a
Monitor Bearing Her Name.

New York, Oct. ga dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long has declined to sub
stitute the name of any other state for
that of Connecticut, which he recently
conferred upon one of the monitors
whose construction is soon to begin. The
naming of monitor Connecticuct was
deeply resented by the people of that
state, who think it should grace a bat
tleship.
In an open letter the secretary states
that the names of the monitors were
given in obedience to the act of congress
of May 4, 1898, which provides that
hereafter all first class battIeships and
monitors owned by the United States
shall be named for the states and not
be named for any city, place or person
until the names of the state shall have
been exhausted"
This act, the secretary declares, made
1t imperative that the new monitors
should be named after states and the
department named them Florida, wy
oming, Arkansas and Connecticut To
now withdraw one of these names on the
ground that it is uncOmplimentary and
to Substitute therefor the name of some
other state, which the law would make
it necessary to do, would be a direct
discOurtesy, the secretary says, to such
other states, whereas the original be-
StoWal of the name was complimentary.

STAY AT HOMES.
Going to Be More Numerous in Tope-
ka This Election Than for
Many Years.

The expected boom in registration has
not come and it is now evident that the
total number will be smaller than an
ticipated. The Republican central com
mittee expected to have at least 5000
voters names on the books when the
books closed Friday evening.
Commissioner Yount placed the num-
Der at 1900 but even that was too high.
At noon today there were 1885 certi-
fcates in the possession of voters and
Commissioner Yount said that the
voters were coming in very slowly.
There is only one day besides this and
the two days preceding the closing OF
the books are usually the times on
which the number who register is the
largest but this year will prove an ex-
ception. The indications are that the
total number will not be more than
$500 which is 1000 short of what it was
at the county election q year ago, and
1000 less than two years ago.
There has been more apathy in the
Second ward among the Santa Fe shop
men than anywhere and Republican
mana gers admit that there are at least
$50 unregistered shop men. They claim
however, that they are Leedy men and
so they have not been wasting any time
in inducing them to register.

HimzeIf

TuIly Scott of Oberlin is in Topeka
today for the first time in more than a
year.
Yes, I am out of politics." said Mr.
Scott in reply to question, land I am
not sorry. I do not know much about
the way things are going in the Sixth
district but it looks to me like a close
fight with the odds in favor of neither
side. 1t is a toss up who will win in
the congressional fight. I have no opin-
ion to give about the result on the state
ticket but if there are as many losses
elsewhere as there have been in the
Sixth district Leedy will have a hard
time to pull through"

PATRIOTIC WOMEN.
Led by J. Ellen Foster Sing the Ma
tional Anthem.

Omaha, Oct 27.-Patriotism was the
principal theme of the National Wom-
ans council last evening and the ap-
pearance Of the American flag in the
pulpit was greeted with spontaneous
singing by the audience of a stanza of
the national anthem, led by Mrs. J. FL
len Foster, president of the Woman'S
Republican association.
Fraternal greetings were voiced by
Miss Mary Carly of Toronto, as the
representative of the countess of Aber-
deem, president of the National Council
of Canada, and also of the Internation-
al council. Susan B. Anthony made a
plea for women suffrage. Mrs. ]. Ellen
Foster explained why her organization
aided the Republican party without ex-
acting plea from it for equal suffrage.
She believed that ultimately the ballot
would come to women but meanwhile
1t is her duty to do all she can for the
support of Republican principles for the
prosperity of the country generally.

which he has small knowledge. He
said to the Post: 'The Democrats
elected their ticket by majority that
was insignificant, compared with the

not a Democratic triumph, but rather
a Mormon church victory. The main
fight was for congressman. Alma

the campaign. He was too manly to
attempt any sUbterfuges and his wives
can say that he did not disown any
of them. He is, tOs [ must conceGe,

MORE ISLANDS WANTED.
Caroline and Pelew Groups Needed
Rv Uncle Sam.

New York, Nov. 25.-A dispatch to
the Herald from washington says:
There is reason to believe that the ad-
ministration would be willing to pur-
chase from Spain, not only the Philip
pines and Ualan island, but ali Of the
Carolines and the Pelew group. Much
regret is felt in official circles, par
ticularly among naval men, at the fail
ure Of the president to insert in the
peace protocol a provision regarding
the Caroline and Pelew islands, similar
to that relating to the Philippines. 1t
is no longer a secret that during the
war the naval war board and Com
mander r. B. Bradford, chief of the
bureau of equipment of the navy de-
partment, strenuOusly urged upon Sec
retary Long and the president the seiz-
ure Of the Carolines. In fact, one of
the monitors sent to Manila was Sc
lected by the board for this duty, but
the president failed to approve the
proposition.
Behind the proposition to buy Ualan
lies the hope in some quarters that
Spain will make a counter proposition
for the cession of the entire group and
the Pelew islands for an increased
compensauion.
The occupation of Guam by this gov
ernment was based upon belief that it
an excellent stopping place between
Honolulu and Manila. The American
commissioners have now learned that
the harbor is exposed to monsoons; that
1t is shallow, and that the island is sub
ject to earthquakes.
In the Carolines most of the islands
have excellent harbors, which are well
sheltered. They are heavily wooded
and supplied with fresh water, and
earthquakes are unknown In addi-
ton they would, if acquired by the
United States. be the outposts for the
Philippines. They extend in a belt
along the ninth degree of latitude, and
are only 300 miles to the southwark of
Guam and $50 miles from the Philip
pines. The Pelews are about 500 miles
from Mindanao.
The belief prevails here that the Ger
mans will bring pressure to bear upon
Spain to prevent her from selling the
Carolines to the United States Such
action would undoubtedly be looked
upon as cause for a breach Of friend
ship.
