Naval disarmament would be danger
Gus for Great Britain. Any formal plan
would involve subsequent breaches OF
faith, but if Germany and Russia VIII
cease increasing their forces we can
follow without a formal agreement.
Lord Frederick Roberts of Kandahar,
commander of the forces in Ireland
said in reply to a request for his opln-
ion:
TT will be most satisfactory if such
a proposal can be carried OUT
The Earl of Grove calls the ezar'S
suggestion an historical utterance, and
earnestly hopes that Great Britain VIII
not object to a conference.
No excitement is noticeable at the
foreign office. It is understood that
special messenger was sent from ST.
Petersburg recently with full explain
alton of the cars proposal. Naturally
all persons and societies connected with
peace and arbitration movements are
jubilant The pope wired his congrat-
ulations to Emperor Nicholas immed-
lately and offered every assistance IN
his power to promote the proposed con-
ference.

TO FACILITATE SHIPMENTS.
st. Louis Firms Scheming to Prevent
Delay of Freight.

One of the largest lines running out of
st. Louis is considering something new in
the way OF a Preventive to serious delays
of freight. Under the proposed arrane55
ment, when a car is loaded, billed and
ready to go forward and that car is not
moved within JWenty-fOur hours, the
agent at that station is to wire the train
master, giving the number and the Initials
of the car. If that car is not moved
within forty-eight hours the agent at the
station viii be required to wire the divis-
ion superintendent. In the event there
is no telegraph office at the station the
report is to be sent by mail should that
car not be taken forward within three
days a report is to be sent by the agent
to the general superintendent rms rule,
of course, is not to apply to perishable
goods, which are always looked after like
a hawk but it is intended to prevent seri-
Gus delays to merchandise and dead
1t not unfrequentIy happens that car
of merchandise is overlooked somewhere,
either at the loading point or set off at
some point in transit, and delayed for
several days, simply because there is no
systematic check by holding responsible
the agent a the point where shipment
originated and was loaded, or at the point
where the car was set off, and no way the
ment will hear of it until complaint comes
in from the COnSignee or cOnSignOr. With
twenty-four hours, the report to the train
master will bring forth an explanation
from car dispatcher or chief train dis
patcher; and If the car is still on hand,
loaded and ready to go forward, in forty
eight hours. the superintendent will get
after the trainmaster. In the event it re

PLANTATION from the division Superintend-
ent. During a heavy freight movement
the tendency is frequently to keep loads
moving without regard to the rule, first in,
first out, and this new system to be put
in force shortly will prevent the isolated
cases, where during a rush of business

is allowed to drop out of sight for a week

The preservation of female beauty

who value their personal charms as

MAY GET M'KINLEY.
He Comes to Omaha and Chicago This
Fall, Why Not Topeka


Department Commander Eastman Of the
G. A. R. says that one of the duties of the
Kansas G. A. r. officers at Cincinnati will
be to secure a general who participated in
the war just closed to attend the Kansas
reunion.
Colonel Eastman would like to secure
the presence of General Shafter and he
will do so if possible, but if that is found
to be impra he will be content
with someone else. He said today that it
is now impossible to say who will be Sc
cured, but he is satisfied that it will be
someone everyone has heard of.
There has been little difficulty in Sc
curing speakers, as Congressman Hender-
son and Hepburn of Iowa, Senator Thurs
ton of Nebra ska and Congressman Hull,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs, have all signified their acceptance
of the invitation rendered by the commit
tee on speakers.
In the early part of the season the COM
mittee had given up hope of securing
President Mckinley, but now that the
war is over the matter has been revived.
An effort will be made to bring pressure
to bear on President Mckinley through
the members of congress and Commander
Eastman thinks that it may be successful.
He says that President Mckinley may
take a western trip as a vacation.
For three years there have been definite
MeKinieT that he Would attend the To-
peka reunion The promises have been
unfulflled and this year he will be re-
minded or his old pledges and 1t is posi-
bic that he may be induced to appear be-
fore the old soldiers of Kansas.
Governor Leedy has been invited to
the invitation. A large number of lesser
lights in the state have also been invited.
Senator Baker, ex-senator ingalls, and
state will be invited to be present.
