MO. PAC. TAKES THE PRIZE
Secures Contract for Moving Troops
Over All Councillors

Much to the surprise of everyone, the
Missouri Pacific has been given the
tract for transporting the .Twentysecond
regiment of Kansas volunteers from To-
peka to St. Louis. The bidding for the
transportation of the troops brought on
merry war among the railroads. The
Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Rock Island
made a bid to handle the troops for
and half cent a mile over their lines
out of Topeka. The Missouri, Kansas &
Texas bid to handle the troops at one-haf
cent a mile and with the proviso that the
other three roads deliver the troops to
them The bid of the NJ; K 6. T. was
objected strongly. and the M. K. & T.
had no connection to Topeka, the other
three roads refused to handle the troops
at that rate
The movement of the volunteers was de-
layed four days on account of the squab-
BILE, and to the surprise of everyone the
regiment ordered to leave over the
Missouri Pacific. The Missouri Pacific will
transport the troops to St. Louis. What
the bid of the Missouri Pacific was has not
been given out and what road will handle
the trains from ST. Louis east has not
been stated. The Missouri Pacific will
transfer the troops from Topeka over the
branch line to Lomax, where it connects
with the main line to st. Louis via Osa-
watomie and Sedalia.

HAWAII'S DAY COMING.
Annexation Discussion Under Special
Rule Next Week.

Washington, May 25.-Assurance that
d special rule for the consideration of
the Hawaiian annexation resolutions
would be reported to the house late this
week has been given. Representative
Tawney and other Republican members
who were inclined to secure if posi-
BILE a caucus on Thursday night to con-
slider the question of annexation, with
a view to eXerting pressure for the rule
and the circulation of call was start
ed in the house, but the movement was
abandoned upon the general under
standing that the committee on rules
would respond soon to the manifest de-
sire of the majority members to take up
the Hawaiian resolutions.
Mr.. Hit, chairman of the committee
on foreign affairs and in charge of the
resolutions, says he is confident consid-
alton will be had early next week
and probably three days will be given
for debate

BAIT Is EXHAUSTED.
Fishing at St Pierre and Miquelon
Causes International Dispute.

st. Johns. N. F., May Blowing to
the action of the colonial cabinet in en-
forcing the laws prohibiting the export
of bait from our waters to the islands
of St. Pierre and Miquelon, the French
fishery on the Grand banks this season
is practically ruined.
The French, in retaliation, demand
that the colonial cabinet shall forbid
nOmadic Newfoundland vessels from
fishing on the treaty coast where the
French have fishery rights.
Yesterday the British colonial office
wired, asking the Newfoundland colo
NAL ministry to frame resolutions to
that effect, fearing TO provoke trouble
between France and Great Britain.
The Newfoundland cabinet declines to
interfere, contending that this is mat
ter for inquiry by the royal commission,
recently requested to investigate the
colony's affairs.
1t is expected that the ca binet's decis-
ion will lead to severe friction between
the French and British warships along
the treaty coast this season.

PEACE POSSIBLE.
London News Reports Spaniards in
Conciliatory Mood

London, May 25.-The Madrid cores
pondent of the Daily News says:
Rumors as to the negotiations of the
powers in favor of peace are prema-
ture; but responsible Spanish states
men are prepared to seize the first OPP
portunity to end the war, providing it
can be done on terms honorable to
Spain.
Should a neutral nation come forward
with an honorable arrangement it's pro-
posals would be examined here in no
impra ctical spirit OF false pride. If
therefore America does not insist upon
impossible humiliations, there is still a
possibility of peace.
Marshal Martinez Campos, in the
course of an interview has said that the
salvation of the Philippines is in the
hands of the natives themselves and
that much care ought to be exercised
to win them to our side" He laughed az
the alarming rumOrS about England
and Gibraltar. The important thing he
declared, is that Admiral Cervera
should be able to divide the American
squadron.

CUT ENGLISH CABLE.
st. Louis Fails to Shut Off
BIancO's Communications,
Though Cuts Some.

Washington, May 25.-The navy de-
partment announces the cutting of ca
bles at San Juan, Porto Rico, and San
tiago de Cuba, by the auxiliary cruiser
St. Louis.
1t has been ascertained that the ca
fble from Santiago that was cut was
not the line controlled by the French
company running from Santiago to
Hayti through Guantanamo, but one of
the two English cables running from
Santiago south to Jamaica. This in
formation was communicated to the Of
ficials of the government by Mr.. Lu-
rienne, general agent of the French Ca
BILE company in the United States. Gen
Blanco therefore is not isolated from
municate with the home government by
either the French cable going to Hayti
or the English one running to Jamaica.
The United States auxiliary tug
Wampatuck with the st. Louis went
into the Santiago channel to cut the ca
BILE. While the vessels were engaged in
the work they were fired upon by the
shore batteries. The ST. Louis returned
the fire and a lively fusiIlade ensued for
about half an hour. The Wampatuck
eventually succeeded in cutting the ca
BILE. None of the Spanish shots reach
ed either boat, while neither of them,
in turn, boasts of having inflicted any
damage upon the enemy.
From Santiago the two ships pro-
ceeded to Guantanamo, the Wampa-
tuck going in about 400 yards from
shore to cut the cable there the ST.
Louis lying out of range The shore
batteries again opened fire and the ST.
Louis signalled the tug to come out
which she did, without having cut the
cable at that point. This adventure
was harmless.
Accounts of it reached here today in
a grossly exaggerated form including
report that the cruiser and the little
tug had silenced the Spanish batteries
on shore.

GASOLINE EXPLODES.
Charles Kuhns Fatally Burned-14
Others Injured.

ST. Louis. May 25.-A gasoline tank at
the American Steel foundry at Granite
City, Ill, ten miles from this city, ex-
ploded yesterday afternoon, fatally
burning Charles Kuhns and slightly in
juring fourteen other persons, mostly
negro employees. Mr.. Kuhns was the
recting the removal of huge tank of
gasoline. A number of employees were
engaged in the work when suddenly the
tank let go and burning oil was thrown
all over Chemist KuhnS. The men tore
his clothing from him but it is thought
he is fatally burned. He has been
brought to st. Mary's hospital in this
city. The damage is estimated at

more in another district. Then, Tone
ka was simply gerrymandered into the
First, and may not be there any great
term of years. She belongs in a more
central district, not in a Missouri river
one, and will get into her natural dis
trict again when proper considerations
prevail.
All of this leads up to the burning
question: VIII John Seaton get the
Shawnee county delegation?
Two weeks ago he and his managers
thought he had everything his own way
To-day they are frightened. It is
largely what might be termed the revolt
of the young crowd, and that crowd is
now a formidable power in Shawnee
county politics.
In the past two weeks anti-Seaton
clubs have been organized in every
ward in the city. The work was done
it was almost completed before Dave
Mulvane. ct. al. knew what was
happening. When they did find out
the truth, Mr.. Seaton was forthwith
to camp until after the primary to be
held Saturday of this week
Among those who have built their
camp fires uncomfortably near Mr..
Seaton's strongholds, are Mayor Chas.
A Fellows c. T. McCabe, w. E. Sterne,
John T. CLANCY, Arthur Capper, Arth-
ur McCabe c. D. Watson, Q. K Swayze,
James E. Larimer, P. 1. Bonebrake and
J. G.. Slonecker.
These men are workers and have the
modern projectiles used in political bat
ties.
The Seaton people insist upon an in
structed delegation, while the opposi-
ton will simply ask that the delegates
be uninstructed, but that the other can
didates be given delegates who will
vote for them from the first.
One of the prominent anti-sea,ton work

our debt of gratitude is due for the help

trict conventions.

As things look now, I believe we have

Dave Mulvane appears perfectly conf.
dent. When asked TO give ms OPINION or
every ward in the city and more town

the Third ward, but I am Just as certain
that he will get the Second
When Mr.. Mulvane was asked to name
the townships which Mr.. Seaton will not
carry he declined to do SO for publica-
ton.
The first severe blow the Seaton boom
in Shawnee county received was when
order an early primary. His forces were
well organized and if the primary had
even last Saturdayas Mr. Seaton's friends
desired, there is little doubt that he would
protest.
Shawnee county will have 81 delegates in
worth looking after. 1t is commonly be-
lieved that a large amount of money is
being used in unwarranted manner and
not to the credit of honorable voters or
honorable candidates.
