cupied one gondOla and the empress
and the queen were seated in another
These boats were escorted by eight

and followed by great hotiIla of gon-

There was great cheering all along

HE HAS THE TWENTIETH.
The Regiment Will Probably Cast
Majority of Votes for Leedy.

Reports received from soldiers in the
Twentieth Kansas regiment indicate
that Governor Leedy, at least, need not
worry as to how a majority of the regi-
ment will vote. Private letters state
that poll of the regiment has recently
been taken and it shows a majority
of the soldiers are in favor of the re-
election of Leedy.
It can not be denied that the COVER
nor made many friends among the
troops when they were encamped here
by the manner in which he looked after
their comfort in purchasing blankets
for them without waiting for the red
tape of the war department to begin
to work. and by bringing army blankets
out to them and distributing them him
self among the soldier boys.
What influences may be brought to
bear on the soldiers between now and
election are, of course, unknown, but
it is prOba BILE that Lieutenant Colonel
Little will look after the Popuist In-
terests in the regiment, and those who
have recently come from the regiment
say that there is not a more popular
man in the regiment at present than

STAFF OFFICERS TO STAY.
Ali Will Be Needed for Services at
Various Headquarters

Washington, Oct. 14.-It is not prob
able that there will be a muster out
of any number of staff officers to cor
respond to the number of general Off
GERS which were included in the dis
charge order a few days ago. The de-
partment finds, in view of the fact that
a number of officers have resigned, or
been honorably discharged, that the
demand for staff officers in different
places makes it almost impossible to
dispense with services of many more
at present.
General Otis has asked for additional
quartermasters, as has General Wood
at Santiago. More subsistence and
other staff officers are needed at nearly
every place occupied by United States
troops. Subsistence officers and quar-
termasters have been ordered to ports
in Cuba in anticipation of the occupa-
tion of the island by the United States
forces. A number of staff officers are
on the sick list and their places have
to be supplied with others. 1t is there
fore thought that few more discharges
will be made.

Which Had For Its Design the
Overthrow
Of the Existing Government of
France.
TOMORROW THE DAY
Set Apart For Putting It In
Execution.
Ministers Had Been Expecting
Something of the Kind.

Paris, Oct. 14-It is announced here
this morning that a military plot
against the government has been discov-
cred. The Rappel, Aurore, and Petit
Republique Franchise, published almost
identical stories on the subject. It ap-
pears that the plot was discovered by
a general holding an important position.
The plotters were to have taken action
on Saturday, during the absence of the
minister of war, Gen. Chanoine.
It further appears that when the gov
ernment was warned of the plot the
ministers were not surprised, having al
ready obtained information regarding
the conspiracy. The Matin says the
plot was not in favor of one of the pre-
tenders to the throne of France who has
been talked about for some time but
was only for the purpose of changing
certain officials of the government with
out touching the president.
The premier, NJ. Brisson was among
those who were not surprised when no
titled of the plot. He promises to take
action in the matter.
The government officials here refuse
to furnish any information regarding
the discovery of the plot but it is ru-
1nored this afternoon that the conspi-
racy involved Prince Louis e. Bona
parte, who is a colonel of Russian Lane
ers and in whose favor his elder broth
er, Prince Victor Bonaparte recently re-
signed the leadership of the Imperialist
party. 1t is added that certain political
personages handed the premier import
ant documents including a, cipher dis
patch compromising certain military
men.
The minister of war has recalled his
announced intention of leaving Paris.
Worst Since the Commune.
London, Oct 14-The situation in
Paris is regarded in well informed
quarters here as being more serious
than at any time since the commune.
The st. James Gazette this afternoon
says: "A military revolution, however
peaceful, which replaces the Brisson
cabinet with the nominees of the gener-s
ais, would imperil the relations between
England and France almost to the
breaking point. The semi official and
partly inspired Paris papers are still
pretending that negotiations are pro
ceeding between the two governments
ard France believes it although every
body in England knows the st tement to
be ridiculous. Even supposing Major
Marchand is Internationally withdrawn
from Fashoda, the difficulties with
France viii in no way end. Behind it
lies the whole question of the Behr Ell
Gazel the richest prize in the Soudan.'

CAN'T FIND THE EMPEROR.
The Dowager Has Him Hidden and
His Death is Expected.

London, Oct 14-The Pel6in CORE
spondent of the Times says:
The foreign legations have not yet
been notified by the Tsung Lii Yamen
that the empress dowager has assumed
the regency, which daily assumes more
the nature of an usurpation. There are
ominous indications and the early
death of the emperor is expected.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Pelzin says that SO italian blue jackets
have arrived there to guard the Italian
legation.
The British, German and japanese
ministers at Pekin-according to spec
ial dispatch from Shanghai-have vain
ly sought for a week past an audience
of the emperor.
An official of the Tsung Lii Yamen
says the emperor lies in dying con-
dition in a small building on a lake
near the empress dowager's palace,
where no man can penetrate.

The Karnival knights are now look
ing towards a means of raising money
to pay their 5000 Indebtedness.
TT has been proposed" said Presi-
dent c. K. Holiday, Jr., that we give

the record by giving the people some
thing for their money. think we can
raise enough money to pay our debts in
full by the means of a ball. We will
make the ball one of the SWEETEST affairs
ever given in the city. We have had
offers from several people to sign a
subscription paper. Offers that were
made voluntarily and several persons
have even given US cash. We feel great
Iy pleased over the good spirit that is
shown US by the people and we are sure
to meet with the assistance from every
one that is needed in making the ball
a grand affair."
The date of the ball has not been set
but within a few days the final arrange
nents will be made.

The salary of city councilman is only
