LECTURE ON DICKENS.
Large Audience Listen to DR.. Penni-

Dr. lanes peuninan, of the CnivCr-
sity Of Pennsylvania. lectured on DC

school building last evening. Thc lee
ture was free and IL large number OF
persons took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to lcarn something about the
L .puIar English novelist. Much of the
standing room of the auditorium was
occupied.
DR.. Pen 3vnan is a young man OF
pleasing r.fsonality with dark hair
and eyes and musical voice of rather
deep pitch. Shortly before he was in
troduced by Professor Hockenberry, the
electric lights disappeared and all the
illumination the building had, save
gas light in the corridor was from

power of the novel lies in it's facinating

many devour novels.
The speaker carried his audience
through Dickens career and referred to
his special training for the work he
accomplished and 20 his work as be-

reason that no other like it has ever
been produced. On the whole the lee

Railroad men who voted for McKin-
ley and sound money in 1896 are reap.
ing the benefits in increased railroad
business and earnings. The January
and February reports Of the leading
railroads Of the country which have
been summarized show an increase of
nearly 20 per cent in earnings over
the corresponding months Of the pre-
ceding year with prospect oiiurther
improvements in March. The rail
road men Of Kansas who yelled for
Mckinley but voted for Bryan ought
to consider the situation carefully.

Archdeacon Brady, who used to
live in Kansas, has written a book
that is attracting much attention. Its
title is "For Love Of Country" and it
is novel Of Revolutionary days.
George Washington figures as a char.
acter therein and he is represented as
apeppery old man who threw ink
bottles and other bric.a-brac at people
who did not please him. 1t takes a
Kansan to throw reverence to the
winds and make everybody stand on
level. Brady's book will probably
cause discussion enough to make Its
sales large.

The Spanish Situation and the
Maine Report Considered.
MATTER FOR AMERICANS TO SETTLE.
Any Demand by Spain to Have the Maine
Verdict Referred to Arbitration VIII
BE Denied-A Cuba Message
Report on Its Way.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The cabi-
net meeting yesterday lasted some
thing over an hour, and was devoted
exclusively to the Spanish situation in
general and the forthcoming report of
the Maine court OF inquiry in particu-
lar. The tone OF the discussion was
very firm and it was determined that
there must come an end to the present
state of affairs in Cuba Secretary
Long authorized the statement that
the understanding before the cabinet
was that the report would reach Wash
ington on next Thursday or Friday;
that 1t was very voluminous, and that
the publication and transmission to
congress would not occur until next
Monday or Tuesday, as the presi.
dent would require time to give the
document that mature consideration
that its momentous character required.
Other cabinet officers stated that the
general plan included the sending OF .
presidential message along with the
report, stating that Spain had been
called upon to make suitable response
to the case presented by the court of
inquiry. While the cabinet associates
Of the president maintained their
usual reserve as to the exact character
Of their deliberations, vet it was con-
coded that the discussion proceeded on
the theory that the coming report
would show that the Maine explosion
was not the result of an accident, but
was due to an external cause.
MATTER FOR AMERICANS TO SETTLE.
CHICAGO, March 80. 1.-The Posts
Washington special says.
The time taken by the court Of inquiry TO In
vestigate the Maine disaster has given the
president opportunity to test the sense Of
Americans and TO formulate course Of action
All doubts may be set at rest, and the people
may feel certain that their will with regard to
Cuba will be executed. There has never been
any doubt on that question. but there has been
uncertainty as to the time and methods which
1t might be found best to employ 1t is as good
as settled that any demand from Spain for ref
erence Of the issues growing out of the Maine
verdict to neutral court Of arbitration will be
ienied. The position taken is that II the report
is anything short Of an explosion from clearly
preventible causes the question Of national
honor cannot be disassocatad from the issues.
and that no question In which national honor
is involved. even in the remotest degree, can
be submitted to arbitration by outsiders 1t is
contended that 1t is o matter for Americans to
settle for themselves and in their own way,
through president and congress of their
own selection. They hold that, II Spain has a
defense to make or facts to present she must
make them to an American tribunals court
owing allegiance only TO the flag Of sae United
STATE.

Kansas Wonderful Taxation.

The assessors are busy making
their annual round and the farce OF
equitable taxation is being enacted.
Many examples Of its unfairness have
been shown but one Of the most strlk-
ing is that given by the bureau OF Ia
Dor. The data comprises a number
Of exhaustive tables showing investi-
cations in Butler, Comanche, Doni.
phan, Douglas, Leavenworth, Mitchell.
Ottawa, Russell, Sedgwick and Wyan-
dotte counties. The ten counties
represent GAG transfers Of lands, ag-
gregating 70,l5O acres, with real
or selling value OF 81, l99,4H As
the tax law contemplates that leach
parcel Of real property shall be val
ued at its true value in money" the
assessed valuation OF the above acres
should equal their selling value, or
$1,199,4 47. Instead, the assessed
valuation OF this property, as taken
from the records and verified by the
individual description and COMPARE
son Of each transfer, for the total
10, 100 acres is 1888, OO4, or 27.7 per
cent Of the real or selling value Of the
property. As the acre is the unit for
taxation purposes it will be noted that
the average selling value per acre for
the ten counties is $l7.09 and the av-
erage assessed value is $4.73 per acre.
The total amount Of taxes charged
against the above lands is $10,889,89,
averaging ID cents and B mills against
each acre. The range Of selling value
per acre is from minimum average
Of $4.06 In Comanche county to
maximum average Of 1926 in Wyan-
dotte county, while the per cent Of
assessed valuation to true value
ranges from a minimum average OF
ia per cent in Wyandotte county to
maximum average Of 4l.6 per cent
in Mitchell county. The average tax
levy for the ten counties Is 1927 mills
per dollar valuation, ranging from a
minimum average levy Of 24.3 mills
in Mitchell county to maximum av.
erage Of 44.7 mills In Comanche coun-
ty, while the minimum individual
levy is l7.2 mills, found in Russell
county, and maximum individual
levy OF 81 mills found in Butler coun-
ty. Kansas needs revision Of its
taxation laws very badly.
