Everybody Reads the State Journal
A TREASURY RAID
VIII Follow Immediately Upon the
Ratification of the Peace Treaty.

Washington, Dec 9.-Immediately
upon the ratification Of the peace treaty
by the senate, the president will recon-
mend to congress the enactment of leg
isIation looking to the settlement of the
claims of American citizens for damages
sustained in Cuba, Porto Rico and other
Spanish possessions which formed the
seat of war. Claims to the amount ofo
S26, 900 900 on this score have already
been lodged with the state department.
1t is true that an unknown proportion
of these are claims based on depreda-
tions committed by Cuban insurgents,
for which it is questionable whether the
Spanish government could be held re-
sponsible. On the other hand, it is be-
Heved that there are many claims for
large amounts that have not been pre-
Sented owing to the inability of the
roborative evidence during the Spanish
occupation of the evacuated territories,
or because of the belief that it would be
fruitleSS to present any claim so long
as Spanish sovereignty was maintained.
In the inclusion in the treaty Of the
clause providing for the mutual as
sumption of debts, by both parties, the
commissioners were simply following
the lines of the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, which terminated the war be-
tween the United States and Mexico, al
though in that case there was a lmita-
ton expressed in terms upon the
amount of liability to be assumed by
the United States. So far as is known
the treaty does not specifically provide
for the appointment of a commission
to adjust these claims of United States
citizens, but as that is the usual method
Of adjudication, it is presumed that a
commission will be created by authority
of an act of congress. The latter can
not withhold its sanction to some such
arrangements after the ratification OF
the treaty, because the convention itself
binds the government to the obligation.

KANSAS NEWS.
Buffalo Bill MattheWSOn Given
Gold Medal
For the Best Corn on Display at
Omaha Exposition.
THE BUFFALO HUNTER
Raised the Corn on His Farm
Near Wichita.
Another Citizen Given a Medal
for Best Wheat.

Wichita, Dec. 29.-William Matthew
son, perhaps as well, if not better,
known as Buffalo Bill Matthewson, who
lives on thrifty looking farm not far
from the city, was the recipient of a
reward in the form of a gold medal and
diploma from the officers of the Trans
Mississippi exposition, which was held
at Omaha, Neb., last fall. The gold
medal and diploma was not for one of
Uncle Bill Matthewson's many deeds of
valor, nor for killing the last wild buff
falo of the plains last week, but was for
the best exhibit Of the best specimen of
corn that was in the whole display of
the Trans mississippi exhibition. Uncle
Billy MatthewsOn did not know when
he was following his plOW early last
spring that he was making hills for the
planting of corn that would be gathered
for the inspection of the critical eye of
a jury of awards at a worlds exhibit.
Had he known it, or even thought it,
he could not have done better than he
did, for his corn has beaten the world.
William MattheWSOn once owned and
operated bank in the city. The bank
quit in the reVerSeS of the boom days
and left him in debt. Many thousands
of dollars were due to creditors, and
William MattheWSOn went to his farm
with his mind fully made up that every
dollar of it should be paid, and if his
life was spared he would some day
know the feelings again of man who
could say that he did not owe a dollar
to any man living. He went to work
and in time wiped the word debt from
his story and began to accumulate.
During the summer months, when he
was drilling corn for the worlds exhibit,
Uncle Billy MatthewsOn was Kansas
millionaire, worth 100000 in his own
name free and clear, and yesterday he
added a gold medal to it, which re-
wards him for his toll. He beats the
world, and asks: What more is there
left for me to d0?"
Another citizen, o. c. Daisy, who was
also living here in early days, and who
was interested in many enterprises dur
ing the boom, has been the recipient
of honorable mention from the Trans
Mississippi exposition.
For a very suitable memento of the
year of 1898, 0. c. Daisy has in his pos
session a large and elegantly engraved
diploma, which was received by him
Saturday, and inscribed thereon: You
are awarded honorable mention for the
best exhibit of wheat made at the
Omaha exposition, held in 1898" Signed
by Gordon w. Wattles, president Ed
ward E. Bruse, manager of department
of exhibits; J. NJ. WOOlWOrth, chairman
of committee on awards; F. N. Taylor,
superintendent of committee on awards
in group; John A. Wakefield, general

STRIKES BACK
Utah Congressman Talks in De-
Tense of POlygamy.

New York, Dec. ga Salt Lake special
to the Evening World says:
Congressman-elect B. H. Roberts today
made the following statement to the Even
ing World correspondent:
IF a time comes when 1t Is necessary
for me to defend myself. 1 shall be there
right on the spot, and I appreciate that
the members of congress and the Ameri-
can people are more liberal, broad-minded
and generous than few bigOted and con-
tracted preachers of the Presbyterian
church, whose training, mode of life and
trend of thought tend to unfit them for
practical life
Joseph Smith received a commandment
from the Lord to introduce our form Of
marriage into the church. and on the
strength of that revelation and not by rea-
son of anything that is written in the jew
ish Scriptures the Latter Day Saints prac-
adultery, for We're it so considered, then
Abraham, Jacob and the prophets who
practiced it would not be allowed a herl-
tance in the kingdom of heaven, ard if
pOlygamy is not adultery. then it can not
be classed q sin at all. 1t appears to
me that modern Christians must either
learn to tolerate polygamy or give up
forvere the glorious hope of resting in
Abraham's bosom.
THAT which God approves and so strik-
ingly approves, must be not only not bad,
but positively good, pure and holy
hand of the Gentfies was laid 50 heavily
upon the people of the Lord that in his
from. From expediency and true to the
pledges given by the church, no polyg-
amous marriages have since been cele-
brated by the church. But not even the
church can take away from the man the
wives it has already given him. They
are his for time and for eternity, and I
think the great, brOad-minded and just
American people will not require man
to cast off the wives he has, with whom
he has lived, nor to abandon his children"
At the most, Mr.. Roberts says his Of
fense is unlawful cohabitation, and he re-
marked: L am here and the courts are
open. If anyone wants to test the point
the way is clear
1t has been argued by some that Rob
erts, owing to the operation of the Ed
munds-Tucker act, which disfranchised
all polygamists,is legally barred from TAX
ing his seat in congress. In regard to
this, as Mr.. Roberts says he has had the
best legal advice obtainable, which con-
vinces him that there are no legal OBJ
stacIes in the way Of his taking his seat.

over Il. .OOO. 600 square miles, with a pop
ulation in excess of $4,000. 900.
This enormous commercial territory
is as yet in an undeveloped state, a fact
well shown by the fact that it's people
at present only purchase from Europe
and America. annually 1000, 600 600
worth of goods, slightly in excess of 81
per capita The distributions however,
is not equal The imports of Australia
average $50 per capita each year; those
Of Japan 81 per capita, while those of
China are less than 40 cents per capita.
The ability of this trade to develop is
well shown in the case of Japan, which
a few years ago had virtually no int
ports, but which have now grown to
such an extent that annually each man,
woman and child wears or employs 81
worth each year of foreign dress goods,
provisions or articles of manufacture.
OF the billion dollars worth of goods
imported annually into this trade cir
Gle, the United States supplied in 1897
those of a value of SCI, ,297, 600. China
consumed S17 OOO. 600; Japan $13,000.O0O;
Australia S17 ,OOO 00O.and the Dutch East
Indies 81, 600 900. These figures, how
ever, do not express the wonderful
strides made by the United States in
this area. In 1898 they amounted to on
" S27. .421. co., an increase in five years Of
S34. .406, 600.
This vast trade will gravitate to the
common center at Manila to a great
extent just as the English trade of the
far East has found a trade center at
Hong Kong. Manila thus in a few
years is destined to become one of the
greatest marts Of trade in the Pacific.

OUT OF THE CROSS FAILURE.
May Come a Criminal Prosecution ot
One of the Banks Officials.

The first suit to be filed in the courts
of this county against any officer of the
First National bank was brought in
yesterday. Tt was Greenlee Bros. VS.. D.
M Davis Since the bank closed differ
ent reports have been current about this
particular case, but in the petition to
the court the lawyers seem to have got
the Greenlee Bros. case down to a fine
point. They claim that Greenlee Bros.
owed the EmpOria National bank 1,551
for money borrowed on cattle. This
firm desired to change from the En-
pOria National and made arrangements,
at Davis request, with a Kansas City
firm to borrow money there, and with
this money to pay off the mortgage held
by the EmpOria National. The money
came from Kansas City and was de-
posted in the First National bank at
closing time. The check was on the
First National bank and the Emporia
National refused to accept it unless GER
titled by the First National. Greenlee
Bros. went back to D. NJ. Davis and
told him that the EmpOria National
would not accept the check. Mr.. Davis
then wrote on the check, 90. K, D. M.
D. =" and the Greenlees took it back to
the Emporia National. This was when
the First National was tottering to its
fall. The check was again refused, as
it was o'clock and the notes locked up,
and again taken back to D. NJ. Davis.
Mr.. Davis then, according to the Green
lee petition, agreed verbally to draw the
money on the check, go to the Emporia
Bros. owed there. This they supposed
he had done, but when the bank closed
they looked the matter up, and claim
that they found that Davis had drawn
the money but had not turned it over
to the EmpOria National. The Greenlees
claim that he took the money from their
account but did not present it to the
other bank. If they can prove this and
can get an unsatisfied judgment against
Mr.. Davis for the amount, they may
start criminal prosecution against him.
That is the view which several lawyers
take of the matter.
But the facts of the matter are not
all against Mr.. Davis. He did bring the
money to the Emporia. National that
night, but the notes were locked up. 1t
was agreed that the EmpOria National
should send its note to the First Ma
tional and the money would be paid.
The notes were sent down in the morn
tng-MOnday morning following the
Saturday when the incidents just re-
lated occurred, and then the First Ma
tional refused to pay out the money.
The following Wednesday the bank
failed.
The Topeka state journal., 1898-12-29

AS an argument against the presi-
dents proposition to retire the green
backs the following summary of exist
ing conditions made by the Omaha Bes
IS likely to prove Of some force with
congress:
Last Saturday the gold reserve of the
treasury reached the highest point in
the financial history of the country, the
amount being nearly S247 0O0, 900. 1t is
stated that the treasury is experiencing
some embarrassment from the surplus
of gold and the scarcity of paper. A
Washington dispatch says that the
treasurer at New York finds the re-
sources of his clerical force taxed to
tho utmost in counting, sorting and
testing the quantities of gold which
daily reach the sub-treasury- Even the
treasury at Washington has recently
been swamped with gold from the local
banks. which have been ordered by
their correspondents to make deposits
in return for shipments Of currency. On
the other hand the paper currency has
shrunk to the narrowest limits and the
treasury would be helpless to meet the
demand for small notes IL the crop
moving season were not practically
over Every effort on the part of the
treasury to unload gold upon the banks
receives prompt retaliation by the pay
ment of the gold back into the treasury
for customs. The proportion of gold
included in the custom payment has
twice recently reached so per cent Of
the total payments.

WHEAT THIEVES CAUGHT.
Three Conway Springs Youths Con-
victed of Stealing.

wellington, Dec. 29.-Following upon
the heels of the arrest Of the three OK
ford wheat thieves comes the arrest and
conviction of three Conway Springs
boys for stealing thirty bushels of
wheat from a farmer living in the
northwestern part of the county. Their
names are Ed West, Ed Rathburn and
"Chinee'' Hughes. All of them are un-
der age. West is about 16 years old,
Rathburn about II years and Hughes
