BOUQUET FOR M'KINLEY.
London Spectator Compares Him to
Lincoln.

London, July 3O.-The weekly papers
credit the United States with a desire
to deal generously with Spain. The
Saturday Review says:
we are convinced that America will
not play the part of ShyIOck: but now
that she has learned to appreciate the
bravery and fighting qualities of the
Spaniards, as we'll as the wOrthlessness
of the Cuban rebels, she will make
obvious atOnement for the precipitancy
with which she entered upon the war
by dealing generously with her Oppo-
nents.'
The Spectator takes a line quite I'M
usual in the English press, most strong
ly urging the United States to assume
direct control of both Cuba and the
Philippines.
It implores the Washington govern
ment rather to break an ingenious
pledge to congress than to allow Cuba
or the Philippines to be independent or
to return to the cruel Spanish do
minion.'
''Since it is equally inadmissable," the
Spectator says, ito grant independence
or to transfer the Philippines to any
other power, it is best that the United
sibility involved, which will serve to
bring out the best qualities of the
American nation. England does not de-
sire the Philippines; and, if she did, she
would not take them, because she
wishes to prove that her sympathy for
the United States is quite disinterest-
ed
The Spectator devotes another article
to a eulogy of the splendid and the I'M
expected manner in which Mckinley
has arisen to the requirements of a
high and difficult position.
1.-THE president has developed latent
talents, showing him the possessOr of
many of Lincoln's great qualities. 1t
would be remarka ble," the Spectator
continues, eff for the second time in
generation the American system of
really an elective monarchy proves it
self a strong system for dealing with a
dangerous crisis. Europe may have been
hasty in rejecting the very idea of an
elective monarchy as fatal alike to sta
bility and strength"

COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED
If La Bourgogne Had Been Supplied
With Mr.. O'Flaherty's Device.

Chicago, July 3O-La Bourgogne could
have been saved with all her passengers
on board according to Mr.. O'Flaherty,
manager of the international Ship
Bandage company. In an fnterviey to-
day referring to the decision of the
court of inquiry, held at Halifax, re-
garding the loss of the French liner, Mr..
O'Flaherty said to a representative Of
the Associated Press:
"L~4vices received from United States
Consul General John G. Foster, at Hall
fax say La BourgOgne remained above
water for probably forty minutes while
five minutes would have sufhced to eff
fectively close the hole in the ships
side with a ship bandage. The findings
of the Halifax court as to La Bour-
gogne are incomplete, inasmuch as no
Recommendations are made to induce
steamship companies to pay more at
tention to life saving apparatus than
heretofore.
The ship bandages I refer to have
recently been successfully tested at the
New York navy yard"

club will be allowed to keep the books
for six months.
The books will be divided into lots of
so each and they will be enclosed in a
1oldlng case and sent by express. The
committee already has 800 books which
cover wide range in literature from
the essays of Herbert Spencer to a nov
Ell by the Duchess The committee,
however, is very much pleased with the
variety of books received. Mrs. John
Ston says that there are very few
BOOKS OF the trashy order. There are
three sets of Shakespeare and two COM
plete sets of Dickens. There are not q
great many duplicates, but by the sys
tenn of sending out the books duplicates
may be utilized.
The City Federation of Topeka pledg-
ed 800 books and 400 have already been
sent in so that the number received
from outside sources is only about 200.
While the state federation is behind the
scheme, the work will really be done by
the progressive women of Topeka.
The work is distinctly of the mission
airy order. The ladies donate their time
and expect no return except an in
creased fund of knowledge in the wo-
men of Kansas. It is woman's plan for
the enlightenment of hersex. but there is
nothing in the regulations that will pre-
vent the men from enjoying some of the
advantages furnished by the Federated
clubs.
The purposes are outlined in a circu
lar issued by the clubs as follows:
The objects of the Federation in TAX
ing up this work, are:
=. To aid reading and study clubs.
SO To furnish good literature to the
public.
g. To create an interest in the estab-
ishment of new libraries.
"A To strengthen small libraries
The collection of books will be con-
stantly added to and the ladies hope to
in short time have a travelling library
of which any state may be proud. In
many states the state supports travel
ing libraries but it was left for the wO-
men of the Federated clubs to put the
some time they hope to interest the leg
islature in the plan and have the state
of Kansas stand behind it with the sup
port which it deserves.

MILES PROCLAIMS.
Tells the Porto Ricans What
He is There For.

Ponce, Porto Rico, July So.-General
Miles has issued the following proclama-
ton:
In the prosecution of the war against
the kingdom of Spain, by the people of the
United States, in the cause of liberty, JUS
tice and humanity, its military forces
have come to occupy the island of Porto
Rico. They come bearing the banners of
freedom, inspired by a noble purpose, to
seek the enemies of our government and
of yours, and to destroy or capture all in
armed resistance. They bring you the
fostering arms of a free people, whose
greatest power is justice and humanity to
all living within their fold. Hence, they
release you from your former political re-
latons, and it is hoped this will be fol-
lowed by your cheerful acceptance of the
government of the United States.
The chief object of the American mill
tary forces will be to overthrow the au-
thority of Spain and give the people of
your beautiful island the largest measure
OF liberty consistent with this military Oc-
cupatfon. They have not come to make
years nave been oppressed, but on the
contrary they bring protection, not only
TO yourselves, but to your property, pro-
mote your prosperity and beStOW the i'm
munit1es and blessings of our enlightened
and liberal institutions and government.
1t IS not their purpose to interfere with
the existing laws and customs which are
wholesome and beneficial to the people, so
long as they conform to the rules of the
military distraction, order and justice.
This is not a war of devastation and DESC
latiOn, but one to give all within the con-
advantages and blessings of enlightened

gate fully as he is a gentleman highly
esteemed by all who know him and has
the commanding respect of the officers
as well as the enlisted men of his brig
ade.
Regarding the food which the men
receive in camp,it might be well to men
ton the kind we receive as there are
always some men and boys who never
could be pleased or satisfied. In writ
ing to home papers they lead a great
many to believe that We are nearly
starved. Our meals as general rule
consist of three different kinds of food
for each meal, not including bread or
coffee. For example, for breakfast we
may have fresh or salt meat, potatoes,
boiled onions or rice, coffee and bread,
for dinner fresh boiled or roasted meat,
potatoes and perhaps tomatoes, bread
and coffee. Then three kinds for sup
per. Our stores to draw from contain
meat, fresh and salt, potatoes, onions,
canned salmon, tomatoes, rice, bread
and coffee. Trades are often made
with hucksters for berries, milk, eggs
and cookies, so taking it all in all I
don't believe that there is a nation
earth that feeds its soldiers better than
the United States, yet we have men
here who kick at everything. They are
never satisfied with anything and yet
a great many of those who are doing
the kicking are fed better here than
they were before enlisting.

RAIN SAVES CORN.
Kansas Crop Outlook Greatly I'm
proved by Rain Last Night.

Reports received at the headquarters
of the Santa Fe and Rock Island here
indicate that a block of territory 200
miles square in Central Kansas was
visited by a heavy rain last night Prac-
tically all the corn belt where rain was
most needed, was drenched
Reports were received from Wichita
Larned, Junction City, Emporia. Ell
Dorado, Yates Center, and Ottawa. The
rain was very heavy at each of the
places named. Between and 8 o'clock
it is thought that over an inch of rain
fell in Wichita and the indication there
was that the downpour was general
all over the counties to the south and
west. The rain was very heavy at En-
pOria also. Florence reported that the
rain there lasted over an hour and was
about the heaviest of this year. Dodge

night, but that a, heavy downpour oc-

rain all over the Sixth district last night
and this morning.
The rain was badly needed, according
to the reports which have been received
at the Office of the state board of agri-
culture, and which will be issued in a
bulletin in a few days. 1t is thought,
however, that the general rain will inn

A NEW ASSOCIATION
Likely That One Will Be Formed for
Transmissouri Roads.

Kansas City, July 30-The rumOr that
a new Transmissouri Passenger associ-
alton would be formed in the near fu-
ture seems to be finding belief among
local railroad men at Kansas City, one
of whom said yesterday:
lone Of the main reasons for this be-
lief is the fact that Western Passenger
association territory Is so large that the
conditions governing different parts of
it are not the same. A chairman To-
Gated at Chicago can not properly I'M
derStand the various phases of the
western and Transmissouri situation
unless he is actually on the ground.
'Au local men agree that the present
chairman of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION is as good a man as can be
found, and that he understands the sit
uatiOn as well as could possibly be done
is not doubted, but it is conceded that a
new association is a necessity. Lines
running into Kansas City, Omaha and
Denver would be embraced in the new
association, which would be an aux
iIiary to and under the control of the
Western Passenger association"
The selection of a chairman for the
proposed association lies between three
men now employed by the Western Pas
senger association as local secretaries,
namely, p. J. Flynn of the Denver local
bureau, G. r. Davidson of the Kansas
CITY local bureau and T. w. Lee of the
Omaha local bureau. Either of these
men would make a good chairman, but
the Kansas City friends of Mr.. David
son would like to see him land the
place. Meetings of the association, if
formed. will be held alternately at each
Of the three cities, Kansas City, Denver
and Omaha.

Eighteen years ago Miss Mabel Shields
was born IN Chicago.
The most remarkable fact about her Is,
that she IS alive to-day, living with her
mother at 1916 West Congress Street, and
enjoying excellent health.
Two years ago she commenced to fail
a number Of complications setting inS Incl
dent to budding Won1anhood.
Her experience and sufferings during those
two years were not only distressing bot ter
rible. At last, utterly discouraged, she found
relief and perfect health.
Her own story relating this experience
will be matter of great interest to hun-
dreds of young women who are passing
through the same period Of Life fraught with
danger and death.

Washington, July 3O.-In view of the
possibility that among the cOaling sta

quire as a result Of the present war is
zap island, one of the Caroline group
a report just published by the state
department containing detailed de-
scriptiOn of the archipelago is of inter-
est.
From the report, it appears that zap
is surrounded by a coral reef 80 miles
long by five broad. There are hardly
any rivulets but extensive swamps The
island is full of relics of vanished
civilization, old entertainments, council
lodges, and other traces of ancient cul-
tivation. The natives number 5000 kind
ly. Industrious and peaceab bic, very
dark in color. Coral is largely export
ed mostly through German traders, who
have spent vast amount of labor and
money there during the last few years
zap is rich in beautiful scenery, the
groves of bamboo, crotOn, cOcOanut and
palm being most impressive. Huge
iguanas are found in the bush and the
nights are brilliant with fireflies. Bird
life is scarce and there are few houses
and cattle on the island.

FIRST ART CONGRESS-
To Be Held in Brussels in Septem-
Der

Washington, July 3O.-The commits
sioner of education has received
through the department of state a pro-
gramme of the first international con-
gress of art to be held at Brussels
September 4-28, of this year. The Bel
gian ministers requested that delegates
be sent from this country and publicity
be given to the programme.
The commissioner of education has
found that there are no funds available
to send representatives of the govern
ment but suggests that if the various
art associations desire to send repre-
sentatives it might be well for the de-
partment of state to furnish them pa
pers accrediting them as delegates to
the congress. 1t is believed that many
Americans travelling in Europe will at
tend the congress.
