The Future of Topeka.

by Mr.. James A. TrOutman. He said:
The topic assigned me by your commit
tee implies prophetic instinct which
earnestly disclaim But some general pre-
liminary observations will indicate what
the coming years may have in store for
US. We stand upon a chronological 'di-

of the past, amazed at the absorbing is
sues of the future. There will proba bly,

the nations natural increase. there are
young men at this banquet table tonight
who will see here a city of a hundred
thousand people.
Aristotle said the first step in any prof.
liable investigation is to ask the right
question. Two questions occur to me to
be germane to my subject
''F'irSt-HOW can we secure n fair pro-

that the maximum of good and the mini

answer will fit both questions.

WHAT TO TEACH BOYS.
Parish Visit or.

Parish Visitor.
A philosopher has said that
true education of boys is to
teach them what they ought to
know when they become men,"
1. To be true and to be gen,
uine. No education is worth
anything that does not include
this. A man had better not know
how to read-he had better never
learn a letter in the alphabet,
and be true, genuine in inten-
ton and in action-rather than
be learned in all sciences and all
languages, to be at the same
time false in heart and counter
felt in life. Above all things,
teach boys that truth is more
than riches, more than earthly
power Or possessions.
?: To be pure in thought,
language, and life-pure in mind
and in body.
3. To be unsel6sh. To care
for the feelings and comforts of
others, To be generous, noble
and manly. This will include d
genuine reverence for the aged
and for things sacred.
4. To be self>reliant and self
helpful, even from childhood.
To be industrious always, and
self supporting at the earliest
proper age. Teach them that
honest work is honorable, that
all idle life Of dependence on
others is dlsgraceful
When boy has learned these
four things, when he has made
these ideas a part of his being
however poor or how ever rich -
he has learned the most import
ant things he ought to know
when he becomes a man.

Washington, D. c.. April q
Consul General Lee was before
the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations for an hour late to day.
He talked freely with the com.
mittee in regard to the conditions
in Cuba, and especially with
reference to the destruction of
the Maine. He said that in his
opinion there was no room to
doubt that the destruction of the
vessel was d ue to Spanish
agencies.
"Do you mean the Spanish
authorities in Cuba" he was
asked by member of the com
mittee.
81 mean the Spanish off,
cials," he replied, "but not Cen
eral Blanco. l think some of
the officials were cognizant of
the plans to destroy the vessel,
but l do not believe that the Cap
tain General was"
General zee said that he had
no knowledge of the reports that
a mine had been discovered by
a diver under the Montgomery,
while that vessel lay in Havana
harbor.
The Consul General did not
arrive at the capitol until 5
o'clock. He came in Il street
car, and was not recognized by
the one or two hundred people
who had congregated On the out
side of the building to see him,
but in the corridors at the en-
trance to the room of the Com
mittee On Foreign Relations, he
was recognized and given
hearty hand clapping. He res
ponded with a bow and a smile
and hastened into the committee
room.

out of misunderstanding
Whereupon there were mutual
apologies.
The War and Navy Depart>
ments are actively preparing
for hostilities.
Probably the most significant
action at the Navy Department
was the issue OF instructions to
the Naval Auxiliary Board at
New York for the immediate
purchase of the ocean grey
hounds, St. Louis and St. Paul,
of the American Line, the pur>
chase Of another frst>class aux>
iliary cruiser, probably the
Yorktown, of the Old Donlin-
ion Line and the purchase of
the Brazilian cruiser Nictheroy.
The last named vessel is about
TO be inspected, and the result
will determine the question of
her requirement by the United
States navy.
The purchase of the St. Paul
and the ST. Louis is probably
the most expensive transaction
consumated by the Navy De-
partment since the beginning Of
the war excitement. The
amount paid for them is an off
cial secret, but is known to be
somewhere in the neigh borhood
of S, ,ooo,o 900.
The tonnage of these vessels
is 1909 gross and 5,875 net
each they are 1855 feel long,
o3 feet beam and 50 4 feet deep,
and have twin acrews. The
hulls are of steel, with ten water
tight compartments and four
decks, and are fitted for carry
irg water ballast, The engines
of the St. Paul are of 10000
horse power and Of the St. Louis
$4,000 horse power.
The St. Paul's speed record is
2I.oS knots per hour. The St.
Louis speed record is 2o.S7
knots per hour.
At noon Wednesday the naval
strategic board went into session
and called Consul-General Lee
into the conference.
The session was a long one
and was devoted to a thorough
discussion of offensive move
ments in Cuban waters, General
Lee being able to give the board
much valuable information re-
garding the defenses of Havana.
Crowding cl ose upon the
heels of these events was the
news that the flying squadron
had raised anchors and put to

There is no longer any doubt
as to the purposes of this gov
ernment with respect 20 the sit
uation in Cuba. War, in the
opinion of the administration, is
inevitable, except in the unlock
ed-for event of a surrender on
the part of Spain.
The Presidents Message went
to Congress Monday at noon.
The message asks Congress
to authorize and empower him
to take measures to secure full
and final termination of hostll1
ties in Cuba He says he, has
exhausted every resource to re>
lieve the situation, and now
leaves the issue with Congress.
The message was referred to
Committee.
Wednesday the House of Rep>
resentatives, after one of the
most exciting and memorial
days in its history, by a vote OF
322 to 10. ad Jpted a resolution
which nine-tenths of its men,
bers believe makes war with
Spain inevitable.
Tie resolutions adopted direct
the President to intervene at
once in Cuba, to restore peace
and secure to the people of the
island ga suitable and independ>
ent" government of their own,
and authorize him to use the
army and navy to execute the
purpose of the resolutions.
The sessions of both the Sen
ate and House were extensively
exciting, and eloquent and i'm
passioned oratory was the order
of the day. No such keen and
brilliant reportee has been
known since the civil war. Mr..
Davis for Committee on foreign
relations offered a resolution on
Cuban situation which went
over, under the rules, until to-
DAY. The resolution is a terri
BILE arraignment of the Spanish
manner of conducting the war
fare in Cuba and is aggressive
and unambiguous Mr.. Lodge
made a splendid appeal for pre-
servation of national honor.
During the height of the ex>
citement the lie was passed be-
tween MI. Brumm. (Rep. of
Pennsylvania and Mr.. Bartlett,
Dem. of Georgia), and a dis
graceful scene followed that all
most descended to the level of a
free fight.
Later the two members found
that the alteration had arisen

Secretary Bliss, Senator Han

by appointment, to learn def>
nitely the movements of the

sented the peace element and
wanted to be assured that Com

United States in the position of
an aggressor, which, in their
opinion. would be unfortunate
and unwarrented.
Senator Hale will speak in

ments of the squadron. The
squadron is simply out for a

A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT
Predicted bySir NJ ichael Hicks-Beach,
In nf hf, u

Predicted bySir Michael Hicks Beach,
Chancellor of the EXchequer.
London, Oct. 2O.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the exchequer,
speaking at North Shields last evening
announced that the government had
opened negotiations with the powers
with view of securing to the sub
jects of the various powers the fright
of developing the respective spheres
in which each country is especially in
terested."
Regarding the Fashoda question he
said he wished cordially to acknowl-
edge the desire evidenced in the
speeches of Lord Rosebery and Her.
bert Asquith to help the government
in the matter, "a matter which might
develop to the utmost gravity"
1T is impossible" he continued, "for
France to maintain that she has po-
litical rights at Fashoda. She has
naturally and properly asked for time
to receive Major Marchands report,
but until the contrary is proved | de-
cline to believe that France will refuse
to withdraw. If she refused the mat
ter would assume an aspect as grave
MS is possible between two great ma
tons.
"The government is animated by the
friendlia@t spirit toward France, and
does not wish to inict humiliation.
What We desire is fair treatment Our
work i'll Egypt is not completed. Af-
rica is big enough for us both-for
France in the west and ourselves in
the east. Surely We ought to be able
to age to respect one another's rights
and claims.
Il hcpo, trust and believe the uues-
ton is capable of a friendly solution,
but this country has put her foot down.
II, unhapptly, another view should be
taken by France, the queens ministers
know what their duty demands.
1T would be great calamity If,
after peace for upward of so years.
our friendly relations should be dis
turhed and we should be launched into
a great war, but there are greater evils
than war, and we shall not shrink
from anything that is coming, knowing
that we are supported by united peo-
pie"
The speech of Sir Michael Hicks
Beach has deeply impressed England,
anu llf ullHOSl t'Ilt'Ill is 'tll as TO
how France will receive it. The idea
has been prevalent that the French
have not realized how seriously Eng
land felt on the FashoGa question,
which has been coupled with a desire
that France would not force England to
an armed support Of Lord Salisbury's
stand.
The morning papers elaborate some
of the excited descriptions of the bel
ligerent preparations Of France. Most
of the papers, however, refuse to accent
the explanation that French activity
Is merely in pursuance of Mr.. Lock-
roy's scheme. Several exhort the gov
ernment to answer the preparations
of France by mobilizing the British
fleet.
Some of the more conservative or
gans. notably The Times. practically
ignore the French movements and de-
cline to perceive any war clouds.
Other papers hint that the plain
speaking of the chancellor at time
when a crisis is approaching Ia an in
discretion.
