Looking for Stark,

Sedalia, Mo. Dec 10.-On De
cember 3, d. III. White, a tray eling
salesman for a Southern Grocery
Company, was run over and maugled
by Missouri, Kansas and Texas
freight train near Pilot Grove. At
the time it was supposed that White,
while intoxicated had gone to sleep
on the track and was killed by the
train.
One of the spectators at the coro
ner's inquest was a stranger who
had been seen in the company Of
White before the dead body was
found. He said his name was F G.
Stark, and when the coroner asked
him to testify Stark asked to be ex
cused, stating that he did not know
the dead man and he was anxious to
catch an outgoing train for Seda!ia,
where he was employed as travel
ing salesman for the d. q. Smith
Hardware Company. Stark was
allowed to depart.
The Seialia police were asked to-
dav to locate STARK, but they were
unable to do so No man by that
name is employed By the D Fl.
Smith Hardware Company, and so
far as can be learned there is 20 T.
Z. Stark.

Yours respectfully,
A Minister Had Fears.

Shanghai, Dec. 9.--John Barrett,
formerly United States minister to
Siam has returned here after visit
ing Pekin and the principal Chinese
ports. He says the situation in
China is of the most critical nature
and that Mauchura is no longer Chi
nese, but Russian territory. He as
serts that New Chwang, the chief
uorthern port for the movement of
American products, is liable to be
closed any day. The only perma
nent safeguard to the paramount
American and British interests Mr.
Barrett says, is immediate and
united action by the interested gov
ernments to defend the territory of
the Chinese Empire, to inforce re
forms in the government, to prevent
further cession of ports and prov
inces and to insist upon the 'open
door" policy in all ports of China,
including the spheres of Influence
cl timed by Russia, Germany a, d
France. Otherwise Mr.. Barrett cen
tends, the impending partition of
the Chinese Empire will seriously
curtail the field of trade by disas-
trously affecting American and Brit
ish influence in Asia.

Washington. Dec. I3--The solemn
high mass of the Catholic church was
performed over the remains Of Gen.
CaliXto Garcia at st. Patric3s church
to-day before the BODY Of the distin-
guished Cuban leader was committed
to the vault in the national cemetery a
Arlington. The service was notable
in the distinguished gathering present
All the hOnors at war that could be
meted out to a national hero were
bestowed by this government upon
the lion-hearted old Cuban. Havana
itself would scarcely have poured forth
a larger crowd than gathered in and
about the church and the most radical
of the Cuban Independents could not
have picked flaw in the oflici al marks
of consideration bestowed upon the
remains of their venerable leader.
The church was filled to the doors
long before the funeral procession from
the Hotel Raleigh arrived. Escorted
by two batteries of United States ar
tillery, the PROCESSION halted before
the door and the military guard
grounded arms with a ringing of
metal on the hard cold pavement,
while at the same moment the church
bell aloft tolIed slowly and solemnly
through the crisp winter air.
Inside the church the great crowd
was hushed to perfect stiffness,
through which the first notes of the
organ thrilled with the tenseness OF sill
yer wire and rising softly swelled into
a tender harmony that seemed to be
more-a lullaby than 3irge The altar
was draped III the emblems of mourn
ing and the candles stood in black
sconces except at the foot of the Gotta
falque, where the golden candelabra,
with their many branches, hared in
the gusts from behind the chancel.
The solemn procession moved down
the aisle from the door, the coffin borne
by detail of artillerymen. The Gu
ban flag was draped over the silver
bound coffin. To the left in pews re-
served for them sat the honorary pail
bearers, Gen. Nelson 4. Miles, com
manding the United sta ties army; Gen.
Lawton and Gen. Joe Wheeler who
were nong the first to greet Gen.
Garcia in Cuba; Gen. Shafter, com
mander of the American army of liber-
alton; Senator Thurston, whose devoted
wife lost her life less than year ago in
visiting the unhappy island in behalf
of the Cuban people, and Senators
Proctor, Mason and Money. The coffin
was deposited before the altar and the
solemn high mass was begun. At the
conclusion of the mass the body was
transferred TO Arlington with military
honors where it was deposited in a
vault to await shipment to Gu ba-

Fort Smith, Ark, Dee Is. --OnIy two
men were killed in the WittGville coal
mines near Poteau, 1. T.. lNst night.
1t is believed that they were the only
men in the mine at the time Of the eX-
plosion. The extent of the damage
cannot be learned, for the mouth of
the mine is blocked by fall OF rock
loosened by the explosion. and the
ventilation apparatus is SO badly dam
aged that were the entrance oren it
would be impossible to enter the
mines. 1t is not known what caused
the explosion. but it is thought that a

Not only the entire Nation but the whole
civilized world is interested in the result OF the
Congress elections this fall a Democratic VIC
tory will generally be looked on as disap-
prevail Of President McKinley's course in regard
to reaplng the fruits of the war with Spain
Furthermore such al outcome would not fail
to encourage the free-silver party, and would
prevent that currency reform which a Republi-
can House would take up. There now four
Republican representatives from the Borough
OF Manhattan. and 1t will require energetic work
to prevent the loss Of any OF these Excellent
nominations have been made three Of the cam
didates being up for reelection after serving
their constituents with faithfulness and ability.
John Murray Mitchell has twice been sent to
Congress from the With District, and the
party is fortunate in having him for its stand
ard bearer again. In conducting two success
full campaigns for Congress Mr.. Mitchell has
been absolutely fearless. and at his own expense
in 1894 he employed a corps Of detectives,
through whom he able to expose the daring
frauds attempted by his opponents. In the cleo
ton Of 1896. although Tammany Offering
TO bet overwhelming odds that he would be de-
feated Mr. Mitchell ran up a majority of 1863.
Since being in Congress Mr.. Mitchell has given
much Of his attention to the currency question.
and has made for himself an envabe reputation
among his colleagues and with the Administra-
ton for his marked ability in this direction.
His was the honor to be selected as one Of a
subcommittee Of three Of the Barking Commit
tee OF the House of Representatives. which
created for the purpose of drawing up a cur
rency measure. In connection with the work Of
this committee Mr. Mitchell has been untiring
in his devotion TO its duties. and the measure
which has been framed and which is ex-
pected TO be taken up at the next session has
received unqualified praise from all parts OF
the country.
The Republicans have nominated John Site
