the naval attache of the United States
embassy there and the Associated Press
have obtained information showing that
Spain had purchased of English manu-
facturers in 1886 and IN 1896 some torpedoes
and upon this information they base their
conclusion that the United States cruiser
Maine was blown up by one of those tor
pedoes. 1t seems absurd that from the
mere fact of Spain possessing some Latti-
Clark torpedoes the impu tauon
should be made that it was through the
agency Of one of them that the catastro-
phe Of the Maine was caused.
Spain, and many other nations. is sup
Piled with torpedoes OF the above make
and of others of the best known, which
were ordered in 1886 when the defense of
our ports and coasts were undertaken.
When the present insurrection broke out
in Cuba, the defenses of the island were
strengthened, and very probably some of
the torpedoes set aside for the protection
of Havana harbor are of the Lattimer-
Clark type"
But such defenses are not placed in
position until the last moment. In case Of
hostilities or danger of attack, and more
does this rule prevail in such ports as
Havana, which has only one narrow chan
mel of entry.
''The American divers working on the
wreck Of the Maine did not find the least
fragment of torpedo, nor any piece Of
electric cable: and although they have
shown a great capacity of imagination.
they have not dared to say that they
found such evidences, because they would
have to submit proofs thereof.
1T is therefore both unreasonable and
malicious not only TO say that the Maine
was blown up by torpedo, but that it
was done by Spanish officers

KANSAS SURELY REPUBLICAN.
Burton Says Anybody With Sense
Should See That.

J. R. Burton came in Monday from
the west after a months busy work
making speeches for the Republican
state ticket.
"How do you figure the StateP"
was asked BY the REFLECTOR.
Il don't figure" he replied. Il
fight. The figures are at Topeka and
they are on the right side, too, by a
big majority. How large l don't
know. know this much though:
Kansas is going Republican. The
man who does not understand and
does not realize that this year the
Republican ticket is going to be
elected is either completely blinded
by prejudice or has gone crazy. l
came through Denver on my way
home and found that free silver has
so unified things out there that they
have 80 tickets in the field. They
use emblems on their ballots out
there. The various parties have
adopted all the birds Of the air, the
fishes Of the sea and the reptiles and
crawling things Of earth to represent
their ideas and the collection would
make a first class museum. 1t Is the
logical outcome Of the kind Of politics
Colorado has been having Of late.
Kansas should thank its stars that it
is coming to its political senses-as
it certainly is."

CARLTON IS AWAKE.
Republican Meeting on Saturday
Night q Hummer.

CARLTON, Oct. 1.-The Republican
meeting held here was the first in
southwest Dickinson and it was a
good one. J. T. Ryan presided and
Emil Grosser and S. s, smith made
interesting speeches tot large audi.
ence. They made fine impression
and were received with applause that
showed how much the people appre-
ciated their arguments and eoquence.
Mr.. Grosser will receive big major.
ity in every precinct in this section Of
the county because he is recognized
as well qualified in every way for the
place for which he is a candidate and
will represent Dickinson county ad.
mirably. OF course :. S. Smith is
popular and will be a winner-every-
body wants him for county attorney.

GETTING DESPERATE NOW.
Fusion Democrats Kick on the Pop
Still Hunt.
tity in Abilene

The situation in the county fusion
ranks is growing interesting. One
by one the Populists have been drop
ping candidates until now they are
centering all their efforts to save two
-Humbargar and Erwin. They want
to make still hunt for them and let
the rest 60. This does not suit the
fusion Democrats and today they
served notice on the two candidates
named that there must be fight for
the whole ticket or they will balk en-.
tirely. There was a lively wordy
warfare for awhile in which the des.
perate situation was discussed. 1t is
admitted that all the rest Of the ticket
is beyond hope but they think there
is fighting chance for those two.
They don't want to be brought into
prominence but expect to trade
enough votes to pull through. But
there is no chance. The Republicans
will vote their ticket straight this
year from governor to road overseer
Not man Of the Pop fusion gang has
a ghost Of a show and the reading Of
the riot act won't help things any.

lege Of running the boat on the river
and. landing at the picnic ground.
They refused fatty to put up. The
gall Of the thing took the town off its
feet. The river is a government
stream. Mr.. Hoffman has no more
right to it than the man in the moon
yet because he controls the park in
which the picnic (9 was held and
some land on the opposite bank he
then forbade theaboys running their
boat on the water between, threaten
ing arrest if they oisobeyed his or
ders. Charles Cheyse, another Re-
former, was also oflicious in the
matter and the town was aroused
to a high pitch Of indignation.
A score Of prominent Populists
and Democrats denounced the ac-
ton and told the young men to
60 ahead and they would be amply
protected. 1t has lost the Populists
scores of votes. A party that pre-
tends to be the friend Of the people
making such an exhibition of itself is
remarkable and is sample Of Popu-
list reform.
The boat, the Dewey, mounted with
Is inch guns, was landed at the Rock
Island right Of way and at the public
road; II steamed up and down this
afternoon before Mr.. Hoffmans land
as saucy as If it were in Manila bay
and TOOK all the privileges to which
il was entitled as monarch of the sea.
1t remains to be seen il the wealthy
rcformer (D prosecutes the owners
and it will be more interesting to see
him try to get damages from jury
because Of their action.
VINCENT's SLIM CROWD.
The speaking began at l:3OS Saturday
afternoon. Seats had been arranged
for five or six hundred. They were
less than third filled, including the
women and children. 1t was a chilly
and lonesome meeting and the speak
ers who faced the array of empty
seats were plainly disappointed.
Congressman W. d. Vincent was the
first speaker, to be followed by Con-
gresham Botkin.
1t Is probable that the evening
will be given up owing to
the small attendance.

FIRST or THE BEAUTIFUL.
A Few Wandering Flakes Of Snow
Visit the Towns,

The cold wave was accom-
panied by a few wandering flakes Of
snow which attracted more attention
than they deserved. Snow is report.
ed in Nebraska and Il first class bliz-
zard was in progress. The rain Of
Sunday did the county much good.
Wbeatilelds are as pretty as pictures
and show an even strong growth that
promises well for the crop.
Six inches Of snow is reported to-
day from Rossville, l6 miles west of
Topeka, to Kansas City. At Linwood
7 inches was reported, Telegraph
wires were down east Of Topeka.
