MEDIC-KANsAS GAME.
Unusual Interest is Manifested in
Tomorrow's Battle at Lawrence.

Lawrence. Nov. .1.-Indications are that
as large crowd as came from Kansas
City to Lawrence for the Nebraska game
last Saturday will come up on the special
train tomorrow to see the battle between
the Jayhawkers and the MedicS. 1t Is
said that a large delegation is also ex-
Pected from Topeka. Kansas and the
Medics have played four games in the past
two years, each of them taking two vic vic
in the coming contest. Two years ago
the Medics won, last year each took a
feated the Doctors s to Q.
The Medics are practicing hard and are
in fairly good condition. The Jayhawk~
ers put in their last hard practice yester-
day. Most of their invalids have rrecOv-
cred although shorty HamiH will not
be able to play. Wilcox was not in con-
dition to accompany the team to St.
Marys Wednesday, but it is believed that
his bad ankle win be sufficiently imprOv-
ed to permit of his playing tomorrow
Unless he does round into form the Kan
sas team will be in a sorry plight, as
Baldwin. the sub-center, is not thought to
be strong enough to make much of a
showing against a winning team.

JOE WHEELER'S PLANS
To Americanize Cuba by Means of Our
Colleges.

New York, Nov. 11.-General Joseph
Wheeler i is deeply interested in the e,,e edu-
that if young Cubans will come to this
country and be tutored and then return
home they will be of great use in develop
ing Cuba and in introducing a stable form
of government
General Wheeler has commissioned Gill
bert K. Harroun. treasurer of Union col
leSe. to ask the American colleges if each
of them would give free education to two
or more Cubans if the right sort of men
could be found to secure a college course
in this country Mr.. Harroun has. writ
ten to over 300 college presidents in the
United States asking them to cooperate
and advance General VVheeler's plan. Over
100 replies are at band and with one ac-
cord the colleges agree to take two or
more young men who can pass the nee
essary examinations and who come
vouched for as. to character and make
them beneficiarieS to the extent of free
tuition. In many cases the colleges agree
to aid the young men beyond free tuition.
In several instances the colleges, recog-
nizing the difficulties under which the
young men in Cuba have labored, have
agreed to receive them without insisting
upon their passing the examinations.

In the vote for the 2O4 members of
the house of representatives 126 were
chosen who were candidates under the
Republican column and rs under the
Democratic heading. These rs include
some Republicans who were nominated
through fusion with the Democrats
with the object of defeating the regular

on the basis of opposition to the re-
election of United States Senator Quay.
Those elected under the Republican
heading also include some who have de-
clared themselves opposed to Senator
Quay's reelection.

Robins to Be Again Arrested.

When Charles Robins walks out of the
Missouri penitentiary in a few days he
will meet Sheriff Longfellow, of Wyan-

open arms and a pair of handouts
Robins is now serving a term in the
Missouri penitentiary for burglary, but
he is accused of shooting VIM. Conway

GOV. LEEDY SMILES
And Says Nothing, When Ques-

of the Election.

Governor Leedy returned to Topeka
this morning after spending a. few days
at his home in Lawrence resting after
the campaign. He takes his defeat very
philosophically and was as smiling as
ever when he went to his office, but he
steadfastly refused to express his views
as to the cause of Populist defeat.
Everybody he said to a Journal re-
porter, looking up over his glasses from
the document he was signing in answer
to a question, everybody has a theory
as to what caused it - then he went
on with his writing.
Then, governor, what is your

STOCKHOLDERS WILL SUE
To Upset the Denver & Gulf Reor-
ganization Deal

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Tribune says:
Ellery Anderson has been retained by
certain stockholders of the Union Pa
cific, Denver & Gulf Railway company
to bring suit against the reorganization
committee of that road, either collective
" or as individual members Interest
ing points are likely to be brought up
in this suit. The device of a voting trust
in railway organizations has been a
feature of many such re-organizations,
but in the suit which Mr. Anderson is
preparing to institute the legality of
such voting trust will for the first time
be tested. The Union Pacific, Denver
& Gulf was originally leased by the
Union Pacific. The Union Pacific also
controlled the Colorado Central. At
the time of the failure of the Union Pa
clfic, J. P Morgan & Co. held about
81 000 900 of Colorado Central bonds, in
and Sc, 900 of Union Pacific, Denver
& Gulf bonds belonging to the Union
Pacific Railway company, in another.
In settling up the affairs of the Union
Pacific Railway company they were
deSirOuS of separating from the main
system all the branch and leased lines
and realizing on all these securities
Hail. Garten & Co. formed a syndicate
which purchased from J. P Morgan &
Co. the whole SIC. 500 900 of COIora do
Gulf bonds held by that firm After
this purchase they organized the Union

committee, which included most of the
men who had been in the syndicate
and turned the bonds into the Central
Trust company, which was designated
as a depository under the .reorganiza-

these bonds. Some of the stockholders
are not satisfied with this ARRANGEMENT

said that autonomy might postpone but it could prevent the consummation of Cuba's fight for free dom.
 War has been inevitable since MT Cleveland made the mistake of supposng that Spain could settle the cuban question by granting autonomy to the Cubans Mir Mckinley inherited that policy and he had to give it fair trial But trial showed hope less 1t was and how inevitable the conflict. It was as MT. Fish had sad-autonomy could only post pone the freedom Cuba
 Spain could not offer autonomous government to Cuba when she herself had never had autonomy. It would take a long time to explain the system of Spanish rule, but briefly it is this: When new adminlstraton comes in Governors appointed for the forty odd provinces these Governors go out within day or two to take control of affairs They appoint their prefects and their subprefects. Then the election Is held. It always in favor of the Governors. It always will.
 Spalns rule in Cuba has been than her rule at nome It could not be expected that she would break up entirely the system under which so many representatives of Spanish families have lived on Cuba, and system of self government which would leave the re1ns of power in the hands of Spaniards would be misnomer.
 We had no right to expect the Cuban people to accept autonomy from Spain.

that the more intelligent and governing classes are on the side of Spain is shown by the numerous letters pub lished every day in different papers
 The Countess of Casa Valencia, wife of the ex-embassador of Spain to the court of St. James, is receiving numer- ous letters expressing sympathy for spain from the most prominent people, and subscriptions are pouring in to her fund to aid the sick and wounded.
 The other European powers show their Spanish sympathies in various ways. They blame Spain for the mis- government of Cuba, but at the same time they hold the United States re- sponsible for the continuance of the re- bellion.
 The time is not far off when the alli- ance will probably be an accomplished fact. but the American people must not think that it has been formed because of sympathy in the present war or be- cause of the blood thicker than wa ter principle, which has been so over done by some of the American papers.

 The Gazette quotes one of the French papers as saying: What service spanish arms would render humanity Tn destroying, once for all, the pretense or American greatness" and adds on It's own account: There are Germans who think the same; and both powers might well be encouraged to speak out by Spanish success in the Old Bahama Channel, and then we might be touched very closely
 It goes on to say that the war has been brought about by politicians who hold MT. Olney's idea of the Monroe doctrine on one hand and MT. Bryan's silver leanings on the other. In word, 1t is war made by politicians for par ty purposes or the furtherance of their own private ends.

For your true army woman regards war and the discomforts 1t en- tails on her as a doctors wife does his night calls or his irregular hours or his visits to patient with a contagious dis ease. It is sad part of his profession, but a part, no matter how dire its conse- uuences. So the army woman-and the ideal is probably the daughter of one of ficer and the wife of another-packs away her pretty things and tries to think only of the prizes war can bring-not its blanks.
 It is told of a family with wide rami- fications in the army that the meeting of father, sons, sons-in-law and brothers at Chickamauga was the first occasion when all had been together. But the pleasure of the meeting was marred by the knowledge that wives and daughters, mothers and sisters had been left behind to complete the packing. Think of what that meant. ye women of the cities, when 1t is remembered that the posts were re- moved from the cities and that all de- pendence for carpentering. packing. etc, had, up to that time, been placed on the soldiers.
