RICH IN GOLD.
Philippine Islands Are Another
KlOndike.
Spanish Governors Have Pre-
vented Mining.
FEARED THE NATIVES
Would Become Too Prosperous
and Wealthy.
Proof Plentiful That the Gold
is There.

Washington, May 14.-Senator Tel
Ter has received a letter from a constit-
uent in Colorado stating that the Phil
ippine islands may be found to be very
rich in gold deposits. The writer says
in 1875 he Travelled from Manila to
Singapore with a man who had gone
from Montana to the Island of Luzon
for the purpose of investigating the re-
ports of such wealth, who gave him this
information in confidence and as re-
turn for his kindness rendered him by
the senator's correspondent.
He told me-" says the correspond
ent, that the results of his investiga-
tionS were far ahead of anything he
had anticipated and that the wealth of
the gold in that country was beyond
estimating. He had gone to the Phil
ippineS with the intention of going into
mining if the situation was promising.
When he found it was, he went to the
Spanish governor to secure permission
but this official would permit nothing
of hte kind. He gave me as the reason
for his opposition that the development
of the kind. He gave me as the reason
disturb the native population, while the
Spanish policy was to keep them in ig-
norance and subjection.''
The writer of the letter says his COM
panion secured his information from
Catholic priests located outside of the
towns

FIGHT ON RIDDLE.
Chairman of the Populist Committee
Explains His Trouble With
FairchiId and Weinshank

Taylor Riddle, member of the Kansas
i've stock sanitary commission and
chairman of the POpulist state COM
m1ttee, says that the fight being made
on him by Glenn Fairchild, the Kingman
attorney, and Frank Weinshank, chair
man of the commission, is on account of
his refusal to show some of their IA
Yorlte commission men at the Kansas
City stock yards favors. He declares
that these men want special favors
SHOWN the commission men who loan
them money in their business. One of
these frms-Siegel, Sanders & Co.
want to move a lot of cattle from Texas
to Kansas, and instead of getting per-
mission through the usual channels, the
says, they got Weinshank to issue
permit, although he had never seen the
cattle. Riddle warned the firm that
Weinshank's permit would not be rec
ognized.
So far as the order to compel stock
men to ship cattle instead of driving
them is concerned, Riddle says that it
was not a strict order, but only an urg
ent request. He says that the Texas
and Oklahoma commissions adopted the
same course. Riddle declares that he
and WeinShank never got along very
well; that Weinshank said that they
were too big men in politics for both
to belong to the same board

GIRLS ORDERED JAIL.
Charged With Stealing Their Fathers
Money to Buy Better Clothes.

Macon, Mo-, May 14.-On an affidavit
sworn out by Green Patrick, their own
father, Minnie and Emma Patrick, two
pretty girls of IA and 16 years, respect
lively, were arraigued before Justice
Bennett at Callao, Macon county, on
the charge of stealing $25 from him.
The girls were terribly frightened, and
readily admitted the theft. Being un-
able to give bond, and, finding no one
to go their security, the justice ordered
them committed to Jail until the Sep
tember grand jury met. Before taking
his prisoners to JAIL the constable
brought them before Prosecuting At
torney Ben Franklin, who questioned
them closely. Between sobs they told
him they took the money to buy clothes
so they could 'look as nice as the other
girls" and did not dream they could be
arrested for taking their fathers mon
ey. They claim he had refused to give
them anything, and they thought they
had right to it. Mr.. Franklin refused
to let them be placed among the hard
class in JAIL but ordered them released
on their promise to appear for trial in
September, in case their father should
insist on prosecution. They eagerly
promised to be present for trial, if re-
leased, and be careful about taking
what didn't belong to them in the fu-
ture.

FRAUD DENTAL COLLEGES.
State Board of Examiners Investigat-
ing Their Methods.

Kansas City. May 14.-The state
board of dental examiners, in session
at this city this week, is engaged in
investigating the methods employed by
three fraudulent dental colleges, two OF
which flourish in Kansas City and one
IN Kansas City, Kan. About 80 gradu-
ates of these institutions testified be-
fore the board as to the manner in
which diplomas could be obtained. The
Investigations will probably result in
more than 200 men and women who are
now practicing in the state as register
ed dentists forfeiting their certificates
of registration until they are qualified
to pass the rigid examination which is
required by the board.
One man from st. Louis testified that
it took him just one hour to qualify
himself for a diploma. He said that
he answered seven questions, and that
his diploma was mailed to him two
days later, and that he paid SIS for it.
Immediately upon receiving it he took
the diploma to the clerk of the county
court and was registered. The St.LouiS
agent of one of these colleges told the
board how few days before the law
of 1888 expired he sold copies of diplo-
mas to applicants for $75 each, $40 cash
in advance and the remainder when the
diploma was delivered. With these
copies registration certificates were
secured, and in many instances the di-
plomaS themselves were never issued;
neither were the remaining $65 pay
mentS made.

BOUND FOR THE COAST
Union Pacigc or Santa Fe Will Garry
the Kansas Regiment to San
Francisco

Bids for transportating one of the Kan
sas regiments to San Francisco were ask
ed for by wire by the chief quartermaster
at Omaha last night, and will be opened

Union Pacific roads. 1t will mean about
$4,000 to the company that secures it.
The Twenty-first regiment will be mus
tered in this afternoon, and there is prac-
regiment sent to San Francisco for the
Philippine islands. 1t is expected that
the railroad securing the contract for the
transporta ton of the troops will be order
to move them tomorrow, or at the latest,
Monday.
Governor Leedy this morning received
a telegram from Washington asking what
equipment was necessary for the regi-
ment about to proceed to Topeka" 1t
is believed that Topeka was written in the
telegram instead of Leavenworth, and
that it referred to the Twentieth regiment.
which Colonel Funston believes will be
sent to Cuba after him.
The regiment ordered to San Francisco
will be furnished with equipment on ar
rival there.

FALL OF SAN JUAN.
News is Sent to President Nc
Kinley From Hayti.

New York, May 14-A special to
Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley received a dis
patch last night which came through
Haytien sources announcing the COM
plete capitulation of the city and forts
of San Juan de Porto Rico.
The dispatch was Immediately COM
municated to Secretary Long, who pre-
sented it to the naval strategic board,
which was then in session.
Secretary Long was seen few mo-
ments after the receipt of the dispatch
in question but he would not say who
sent it. He acknowledged its receipt,
however and supplemented the presi-
dents declaration of faith in its
authenticity.
1t was stated by Secretary Long that
the dispatch was not from Admiral

1t is understood that the dispatch
came through representatives of the
Haytien government in New York and
was communicated to the president by
an officer of the United States signal
corps stationed at Governors Island.

SHELF FOR DICK BLUE.
The Republican Fixers Disposed to
Leave Him in seThe Past"

Occasional straws in the wind have
indicated that Cy Leland and his crowd
of followers had decided to put Dick
Blue through the ropes at the next Re
publican state convention, deprive him
of a denomination and at the same
time retire him to private life:
Mr.. Leland wants W. ]. Bailey to
have the nomination, an arrangement
which the Shawnee county Republicans
seem to be taking to very kindly, be-
cause they dislike Blue.
Joe Bristow has also Joined the rebel
lion. His paper, the Ottawa Herald,
sizes Mr.. Blue up by saying:
1.-The people of Kansas don't care
ragged-edged, star-spangled, royal Ben
gal American nickel for Dick Blue. He
was IN congress two years and didn't do
a thing but strut around in the daytime
and spend his money on questionable
amusements at night. Dick Blue is
pretender He never was a great man
He somehow got into the habit of cut
ting his hair and whiskers so that they
made him look unusually smart, but
the people are now onto the cut They
want a new man, and they are gong
tO have him. too

FRED DOUGLASS'S WILL.
The Widow Loses $4,000 Specific
Bequest by Court Decision.

Washington, May 1.-THE court of
appeals today sustained the lower court
in the matter of the will of the late
Frederick Douglass. The estate of the
colored leader was valued at about
$500, ,OOO
In his will he gave the homestead,
with it's contents, books and papers, to
his wife.
He also left her $4,000 in money and
$40, 900 in registered bonds, which he
owned at the time the will was made.
He subsequently sold the bonds. and
when the widow applied to the children
for the money value of the bonds, they
declined to give it up. AS they had
inherited the remainder of the property
in equal shares, the widow took the case
into the courts.
The lower court held that the be
quest of the bonds was a specific be-
quest, and that she could not recover
their value. The court of appeals today
upheld the decision, and she will lose
the bequest. Mrs. Douglass is a white
woman, and there is considerable ill
feeling between her and the children of
Douglass first wife, who was a negro.

MANY of them are coffee and very

it is an excellent food drink" Mrs.

she knows it to be the original, pure
Cereal Coffee, that is so widely and

is contained in a good hot cup of Pos
