General Lee came ashore at IL O'Clock

The steamer OIivette arrived from Ha-
vana at 2 o'clock this morning with 249
refugees on board. Forty of these
landed here and the rest proceeded to
Tampa. Among those on board bound
for Tampa are Miss Clara Barton, DR..

sisters, composing, with others, the Red
Cross party. DR.. Drummer, United

These were the words of Consul Cen

leave, and a murmer of applause went
around in support of his intention. The
Evelyn had already passed Moro cas-
tie when the Olivette weighed anchor.
The Bache was close behind and the
Fern was the last of the line. The
wharves and boats on both sides of the
narrow entrance to the harbor were
crowded with Spaniards, who Kissed
and jeered as each boat passed out.
As the Fern rounded to, heading for
the open sea, she passed near the Maine
wreck. The group on deck had been

satisfaction at leaving Havana. With

There was one pretty incident. On
the Cuban shore British steamer was

while the English crew gave a hearty
cheer. 1t is needless to say that the
compliment was returned with all pos

PUSHING SOUTHWARK.
Topeka Avenue Must Have Room
Six New Residences at Southern
Extremitv

A veritable boom has struck Topeka
avenue, south of Fourteenth street, and
before many weeks pass eight or ten
fine new residences will be in progress
of erection. D. o. McCray was the
first to cross Fourteenth street on this
beautiful avenue, and after he had
erected his handsome home and i'm
proved his grounds, others were glad
to get lots beyond.
N. I. Dalton, a retired farmer, who
came to Topeka from Atchison county
eight years ago, will build a modern
residence on the lots Immediately south
of Mr.. MeCray. Work will be COM
menced at once.
C. d. Purdon, assistant engineer of
the Santa Fe, has purchased the first
two lots south of Dalton, and will build
a good home on same this year.
A. A. Hurd, solicitor of the Santa Fe,
viii build a modern eight room resi-
dence Immediately south of Purdon.
The contract will. be let within a few
days.
South of Mr.. Hurd, Mr.. L. NJ. Jones,
another Santa Fe man, will erect a
good residence, having purchased the
lots during the past week.
Judge L. S. Ferry owns the two lots
next adjoining Jones on the south, and
it is understood that he will also build
this year.
Within the past week w. J. Kinney,
chief of the Santa Fe detective service,
purchased two lots south of those own
ed by Judge Ferry, and he, with the
others, will build a substantial home.

NOT CONVERTED YET.
Herr Clemens Not Very Sure He Has
Won the Peoples Party to
Socialism.

It has been said that the Populist
state committee intended to aid G. c.
Clemens in promoting the organization
of Social Democracy clubs throughout
the state, but Mr.. Clemens thinks the
committee is not yet ready to commit
the party to socialism, although he
thinks there is no time better than the
present He says:
II hope it is true that the Populist
state committee has made up its mind
to help me organize the Social Democ-
racy, but / fear the news is too good
to be true. 1t would be a remarkable
victory, for while have always hoped
to get the copies party in Kansas
committed to socialism sometime, 1
had not dared hope for results SO soon.
To bring this about has been my task
for six years, and if it has been ac-
complished at last, shall have much
reason to rejoice. If the committee is
really disposed to help me push the So
cial Democracy, the way is both honor
faith, I shall ask the committee to pur-
chase a few thousand copies of my
Primer of Socialism so that may
have the profit on them to blow In as
expenses of travel, and then give me the
Primers and a carload of the Appeal
to Reason to give away at my meet
ingS. Now that / have heard of the
prospect through the Journal shall go
after the committee with my PROPOSE
ton to set me up in business as a ped
der of good literature. I see it has
bought a ton or two of S. S. Kings
book on the exciting wartime theme

son why it should not invest in some
socialist literature, if it means business.

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 3z5 w. Pearl St., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle Of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

TROLLEYS ARE FREE.
Nobody Has any Right to Control of
Their Manufacture.

Cleveland, O., April 1.-THE Walker
Manufacturing company of this city
has received notice of a decision from
the New York court of appeals which,
it is claimed, makes the electric street
railway trolley patents public property.
Under patents granted to Van De Peel,
the General Electric company has for
years held the exclusive right of man
ufacturing trolleys.
Some time ago the Walker company
began the manufacture and sale of an
electric trolley on an extensive scale,
resulting in a series of suits against
that company by the General Electric
company.
In his statement of the assets of the
General Electric company, President
Coffin included an item of one million
dollars as the value of the Van De Peel

London, April 1.-THE Madrid CORES

1.-The ambassadors of the powers, in
urging the armistice, declared that their
action was in support of the acts of
their colleagues in Washington. They
understood, they said, that if Spain
agreed to an armistice it would be pos
sib1e to maintain the influence of the
powers with President Mckinley and
indirectly with the rebels, thus bringing
about a termination of the Cuban war.
According to the ambassadors, the
powers will be ready to give Spain a
