IROQUOIS FIRST Dirty

SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-The
tugboat formerly the Fearless and
now the United States tender Iroquois,
Acting Lieutenant Turner command
ing, VIII today start out to perform
the tlrst duty the government has
found for her since she was DUR
chased and transferred into war
vessel. Lieutenant Turner has been
ordered to cruise along the coast in
search of the derelict recently sighted
by the schooner Louise and supposed
TO be the missing Forest Queen. The
derelict is serious menace to com
merce and if the Iroquois should find
her the little warship's batteries will
nave an opportunity to do some GOOD
work, for Lieutenant Turner's orders
are to blow up the wreck. The derc-
let when last seen was drifting down
the coast and Is now supposed to be
somewhere in the region of Half Moon
bay.

OUR NAVY IN THE PACIFIC.
PLANS FOR 4 COALING STATION
AT PAGO PAGO.
Samoan Islands Included in Pres
ident McKinley's Plans for Adding
to the Pacific Naval Strength.

NEW YORK, August 1.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Herald
telegraphs the following: As an earn
est intention of the administration to
provide protection for American in
terests in the Pacific and the Far
East, steps have been taken to es-
tablish coaling station at Pago Page
in the Samoan Islands. Plans and
specifications for the proposed build
ings and pier have been practically
perfected and contracts for their con
struction on the Pacific coast will be
let by Commander u. L. Tanner (retir-
ed), who is now on his way to San
Francisco.
AS to the cause of the administra-
tons action, it can be stated on the
highest authority that the President
directed the storing of coal at Page
Pago because of his desire to put the
navy in position to meet on equal
terms in the Far East the navy OF
any other nation, not that there is
any danger of hostilities with anv
European power, but the possibilities
OF complications growing out of the
Philippines are so great that McKin-
ley deems it prudent to be prepared.

RUSSIA IN AFRICA.

ROME, August 5.-According to the
Novoe Nremya, a Russian envoy hes
persuaded Emperor Menelik, the Ne
gus of Abyssinia, to renounce in Rus
sla's favor, his protectorate over Ra-
heit, between Obok and Assab bay,
about forty miles northwest of the
narrowest part of the Strait of Bah
el-Mandeb. At Assab Russia will es-
tablish a coaling station.
Two Italian papers declare that It.
ally has prior claim to Raheit under
the last treaty with Abyssinia.

Within our shores we grow

Hawaiian
Fruit.

The Guava, like the Mango,
a fruit which furnishes food
for many a people throughout
all tropical countries, possesses
medicinal virtues which are
certainly beneficial. A fam
Gus English writer, in treating
on the subject, stated that the
Almighty might have made a
better fruit, but if so it had
not been discovered.

HAWAII MUST WAIT.
No Change in Her Tariff Laws at
Present.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-In ac-
cordance with a decision rendered by
the Attorney General there will be no
change in the law and regulations af-
fecting tariff, immigration and ton
mage tax between Hawaii and the
United States until further legislation
by Congress. Speaking of the Hawaii
an annexation resolution, the Attor-
ney General says that it is replete
with indications that temporarily the
relations of the two countries are TO
continue practically unchanged. 1t
is plainly apparent that Congress re-
CARDS the establishment of an Anne
rican government for and the extern
sion of American laws to the Islands
as matters to be attended to in the
future.

cial laws.

How Leedy and Morrill, Used
771rtr Coming gent Funds,

THE republican press OF the state
has ' objected to the manner In which
Governor Leedy spent his contingent
fund, the Objectionable point being
the $4,000 paid David Martin and
David 0vermeyer for their assistance
in the insurance cases against McNall
In the federal courts, and In the stock
yards, scrip and screen cases. 1t Is
true that governor Leedy spent the
entire appropriation made, but 1t IL
also true that governor Morrill, spent
his; the difference being that COVER.
nor Leedy spent his to enforce the
law, while Morrill, spent his to unseat
populists whose terms had not ex-
pired In order that some republicans
might have their places. Morrill,
used $3, 269 from his contingent fund
to get ex-senator Rodgers, II regent
of the University, out OF Office in order
that j. X. Buttons law partner might
have that place, u little $40O per
annum Job. This together witch 9th
er amounts spent In the same
manner exhausted his fund and he
was compelled to ask the legislature
foran appropriation Of $4,000 to pay
the costs in tho Rodgers case,
Morrill, paid $2,02S out OF his con-
tingent fund to secure the removal
OF senator Householder from the
state Board OF Charities and had to
coll upon the legislature again for a
deficiency appropriation OF $3.50.
1t will be seen from this showing
that the last republican admlnlstra-
ton thought 1t wise to spend about
S., 900 to secure the uneXpired portions
OF the terms OF office OF u few popu-
lists, and yet they crlticise
governor Leedyfor spending S3, 900 to
secure the enforcement Of the laws
governing insurance, the stockyards,
and the mining industries. Cover
nor Morrill, paid out Of his contin-
gent fund $3.50 to that distinguished
patriot who recently accepted the
position OF postmaster at Newton In
order to prevent an old soldier from
receiving II, the Hon, Sam Peters,
for assisting In the attempt to re-
move John Briedenthal from the
office OF Bank Commissioner.
He paid $3.50 to a prominent short
grass republican for his services In
defending Geo, Clark, present candi.
date for secretary OF state on the re-
publican ticket, In the suit brought
against him by Mrs. Lease which
grew out OF her removal from the
State Board OF Charities.
He paid w, A. :. Bird, n republican
lawyer Of Topeka, $500 for the service
he rendered in removing captain
White, a populist member OF the
State Board OF Charities in order
that some republican might have his
job.
He paid 800 to Joe Reed, n repub-
lican lawyer ofTopeka, for assistance
rendered the attorney generals office
in a small Kansas City case.
He paid from his contingent fund
5000 to the republican Board Of Par
dons, in addition to the regular
salary they received, under the pre-
tense that it was paid for over time,

THE STOCK YARDS AND SCHOOL
BOOK LAW.
The story OF the stock yards and
school book law have been told In
detail and II IL useless to repeat II
here. The most powerful lobby that
ever attended n Kansas Legislature
was on hand to prevent the passage
OF these two important acts, The
cooperation OF the Republican mi.
norlty In each house was assured
from the start and every effort was
made to corrupt enough Popullst
members to make the Republican mi
nority majority, but they failed ut
terly and the people OF Kansas today
are reaping the benefits OF these
wholesome Popullst measures,
LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES.
A iavorlte charge which IL being
continually reiterated by the Repub-
llcan press X that the Legislature was
eXtravagnnt, that the Legislative
halls were filled with u horde Of I'M
necessary employees, and th0tpubllc
money was recklessly squAndepd,
The facts are shown by the state
auditors books There u record Of
the money drawn ana the names OF
the persons who drew itcan befound,
These records show that In 1895 the
Republican Legislature had $50 em-
plOyees, 20i OF whom were on the
house payroll and l3l on that OF the
senate. In 1897, with both houses
controlled by Popullsts, the house
payroll contained ll2 names, and
the senate's SS, making n total Of 200,
which was 1876 Less than in 1895.
II the Legislature OF 1897 had n lot
oiuseless employees, what about the
Republican army OF employees In
1895?
Now, as to the actual money paid
out Mt each session. In 1905, the
total payments Of Legislative eX-
penses were $3.50, 0,47, while In 1897,
$72, 020. 10 was paid out, When
figures on legislative expenditures
are made 1t should he borne In mind
that the salary and mileage OF mem
bers IL fixed by constitutional enact
ment, and IL therefore matter over
which the members have no control,
II the amounts paid for this purpose
are deducted, the remainder will
show the amount expended over
which the legislature did have direct
control. No compilation Of the
amounts drawn for salary and mile
age by members OF the 1897 legisla-
ture has yet been made, but In lS0l
the amount drawn for this purpose
was $3G,327. The number Of mem
bers and OF the district remain un,
changed from year to year, so that
the salary and mileage account can.
not vary much. 1t Ii reasonable To
assume that the 1895 figures are n
fair average. Deductlng $3G, 1877 from
1856, 202,F 1t appears that In 1898 S40,'
065.l was expended over which the
members had control, The deduc
ton Of the same amount from
$72,020, 10 shows that In 1897 the
amount was $35, 70l,SO
The 1895 Legislature (Republlcan)
which was In session 90 days, cost
$3.50. rs per day, while the 1897 legls
lature (Populist), which continued
for "a days, cost $557S4 per day
showing an actual saving OF $274O'
for each and every day Of the session
In the matter OF daily expense, thu
Populist cost was n few cents les
than 81 where the Republicans spent
