O sss,ss'.s s,;s5 , S,,,,, S,a,o55; o,,5;
once more-thinking it may be of
interest to your readers in giving
them an idea of some of the charms
of Hawaii nei-the verdurous ram
bleS of the RagseyS in the inner
realm of Nature. AT 7:3o on Sun
day last they took their beguiling
way, five of them: Fiterre, Than
mum, Hime, Phillips and the Ragsey
Bard, laden as usual with some
comforting and filling things for
their opus in the near mahope.
The morning was lnspnngly fine,
banks of fleecy clouds over the
ocean low on the horizon, and also
over the distant forest towards
which we bent our steps. An azure
sky was overhead with the sun
brilliantly cleaning there, and so
clear was the air, with a little
stretch of your fertile imagination,
you could discover the different
kinds of trees forming the woods
half a dozen miles away. Surely
the world was but newly created,
50 fresh was all from the showers
that fell in the night and surely
nowhere in existence could there be
a single diScOrdant vibrationl What
grand, extended, erroneous vision
we mOrtalS sometimes have The
Verdure, prolific everywhere, was
delightfully."- green, and the Volup-
tuouS cane fields stretching away to
the forest west of the kaumana
Road filled your mind as you gazed
with a luSty, healthy love of life !
And oh, to catch the song of this
braWling little stream that runs
merrily by the wayside, and glad
den the whole world ! The tranquil
bay, whose waters are gently rip
ping to the careSSeS of the soft
breeze, and upon whose bosom
nearly a dozen vessels lie motionleSS,
is sparkling in the beams of the
smiling sun. The maStS of the
SchOonerS, brigS and barqueS, the
palms on COcOanut Island, the
mango and alligator pear trees, with
the clustering fruit ripening thereon,
and the white houses nesting midst
the rich green sea OF Verdure, form
a picture so harmoniouSly beautiful
it is much better felt than eX-
pressed. And what of this thing
we call beauty, this undefinable
something that moves us so, this
half yelling of things which conSti-
tuteS it, these colOrS, screens and
outlines And this as well in the
immaterial realm of Cloudland
where Vapory, changeful islands
float in interminable, incalculable
space, so wonderful to think of, at
who we often look and say heaven
is there, and feel a nice sense of
SatiSfactiOn-the good things are
always for US
Well, a little romance is very
often much better than dry fast,
especially to the soul of a RagSey,
which looks upon the panorama of
Life through many-tinted windows;
and this vision of verdant hill, gulch
and stream this morning is teem-
ing with it. East of the road about
a mile from town are three hills:
cane, coffee, grasses and bushes
adOrning their sides and submits,
Their origin is very remarkable in
deed, they having come into eX'
istence by the aid of the Gods, who
in those days communed and inter
mingled with favored mortals; but

HE MADE OUR MERIDIAN.
"Sixth Principal Meridian"
is Dead

John P. Johnson of Highland, Kan,
died at his residence Wednesday morn
ing at a very advanced age. He was
about 80 years old and in times past
one of the best known men in Kansas.
He it was who surveyed the boundary
line between Kansas and Nebraska
back at a very early date. He was
taken from the presidency of an Illinois
college by Stephen A. Douglas and as
signed to that important work. In
laying out the townships he established
the sixth principal meridian, which
runs north and south through the state
on the line about where Wichita stands.
The sixth principal meridian is the
boundary line on the east of Republic
and the west side of Washington cOun-
ties. The reason that the meridian was
placed at that point was, Mr.. John
son states, that after going west until
he had arrived at a point which he
thought was beyond all possible farm
ing and cultivation and settlement, and
well into the desert, he fixed it arbitrar-
lily at that point. There it has remained
as the basis for the surveys from there
west to the Rocky mountains. Strange
as it may appear, west of that line is
the greatest corn county in the state.
Mr.. Johnson was formerly member
of the legislature and has held several
offices of public trust in the state. He
was a graduate of Harvard college and
several years ago went back to attend
the fiftieth anniversary of the gradua-
ton, meeting, as he said, only four
of his old classmates.
Mr. Johnson leaves a widow and
large circle of relatives. 1t is said that
he owns in various states and terri
tories of the United States from fifty
to seventy-fiVe thousand acres of land.
He has been quoted as millionaire.
His funeral takes place at Highland on

is EVANS WEAKENING?
a Story That He Seeks to Have the
Libel Suit Compromised.

Ex-Secretary of State w. c. Edwards
and F. B. Dawes today swore to sep
arate complaints before the clerk of the
district court charging George H.
Evans with criminal libel These are
the complaints which have been ex-
pected for some time in the libel suit
over charges alleged to have been
made by Geo. H. Evans about state
contracts during the Morrill, adminis-
tration. The complaints were not filed
today, but will probably be tomorrow
or Saturday.
Separate complaints were sworn to
by F. B. Dawes and W. c. Edwards.
Mayor G. A. Fellows, upon his return
to the city this evening, will also swear
to complaint against Evans for the
same case. No warrant has as yet
been issued for the arrest of George H.
Evans, and none will be issued until the
filing is done.
The three men who are bringing the
action for criminal libel against Evans
claim that on a certain letter which
was addressed to George H. Evans by
c. a. Fellows, there were statements
afterward put which tended to cast
serious reflection on their characters,
stating that they were to receive GER
tain amounts of money in the state
contract deals if they held to the agree
ment- This was followed by the pub
licatiOn of the same charge in the Ad-
vOcate and News.
Last evening George H. Evans visit
ed Dawes, Edwards and County Attor-
ney A. P. JetmOre who were together
at the Copeland hotel and with Otis
Hungate as attorney, it is said, tried to
come to an understanding. But the
meeting proved fruitleSS. w. G. Ed
wards said today: I'VE didn't send for
Mr.. Evans. He came to where we
were and there was a short talk to-
gether We shall go ahead as we in
tended"
County Attorney A. P. Jetmore said
today: Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Edwards
each swore to a separate complaint.
Charlie Fellows is out of the city. If
he gets back tonight he will swear to
complaint similar to the others and
then they will be filed in the district
court. That will probably be tomor-
row. 1t may be that they can't get
things arranged before Saturday.
Dawes and Edwards are looking up a
few points in the case this afternoon
Mr.. Evans previous to the interview
at the Copeland hotel last evening, met
D. T. Palmer and asked him to try TO
arrange matters. After the meeting
Evans said that he had not authorized
Palmer to do so. This inspired the col-
lowing from Palmer today: George H.
Evans came to me and commenced tell
ing me a hard luck story about being
out of employment and having nothing
to eat in the house and libel suit
his hands, and 1 tried to get him ouu
of it. He asked me if 1 wouldn't go
and see Dawes and Edwards and try 10
have the thing settled"

HOPE FOR COLORED MEN.
Capt B. Z. Snow Resigns and Comes
Home to Work for Them.

Capt B. Z. Snow Resigns and Comes
Home to Work for Them.
Captain B. L. Snow, who left here in
charge of Company K of the Twenty
! first Kansas regiment and resigned his
command a few days ago, returned to
Topeka today. Captain Snow resigned
because he expects something better
under the second call for volunteers.
During the civil war Captain Snow
commanded a battalion of colored in
fantry, and he will urge Governor Leedy
to recruit colOred troops only after the
number sufficient to fill up the three
Kansas regiments is furnished, and
place him at their head. He says that
at the time of the first call for vOlun
teers Governor Leedy was favorable to
the idea of recruiting colored troops un-
der the second call, and that he prac-
tically promised him the place as COM
manding officer.
If Kansas gets a regiment Captain
Snow will rely on the word of the gov
ernor and work for the position of col
onel If less than a regiment is raised,
he will be satisfied with a place as ma
ior.
Captain Snow says the Kansas troops
are comfortably situated at Chicka-
mauga, and are well pleased with their
camp life there. He states that the
work of drilling the volunteers is being
pushed, and that the soldier boys work
harder every day than does the most
industrious Kansas farmer.

QUAY WINS AGAIN.
His Man Defeats John Wana-
maker For Nomination
of Governor.

Convention Hall, Harrisburg, Pa,
June 2.-The only senblance of a con-
test in today's Republican state con-
vention was over the head of the ticket.
Col. VIM. A. Stone.- member of con-
gress from Allegheny, the favorite from
the start, won on first ballot. John
Wanamaker of Philadelphia was good
second and Congressman Charles w.
Stone of Warren, brought up the rear.
The fight practically closed yesterday
when Senator Quay advised his friends
that Col. Stone was his choice.
Mr.. Wanamaker was the most prom
inent anti-Quay candidate and his
hackers claim his vote represents the
sentiment throughout the state against
the organization of which the senior
senator is the head. Charles w Stone
is a friend of the senator and he de-
clined to go into a combination with

who have enlisted with me.
In the second telegram, I told you
that contingencies might arise, which

In case Nebraska should be allowed
less than a regiment (Say two battal-

more than a regiment, we might add
your one battalion and our two and

quest that l be made colonel. 1t would
please our boys to have a Missouri bat

accepted and the matter will probably
be known positively before this reaches
you.
Thanking you again for the honor,

FUSS ABOUT FANITA.
Spanish Consul at Cape Haytien
Raises a Row.
(Copyright. 1895. by the Associated PressO

Copyright. 1898, by the Associated Press.)
Cape Hayden, June 2.-The Clyde line
steamer Fanita, Captain Waters, which
arrived here yesterday, half empty, bring
ing from New York provisions for the
navy which she landed at Matthewton,
Great Inagua, in the Bahamas, slipped
away about 10 o'clock last night with be-
tween fifteen and seventeen Dominicans
added to her crew.
She was to touch at Monte Crist, Do
minican republic, or at the keys just OUT
side, to fill up the empty portion of her
hold. She has on board Chris Roberts
of the West Indies.
The captain of the Fanita, when that
vessel was here, said that the portion of
of coal, but there is good reason to sup
pose that it is something very far from
coal.
Proof that the Fanita is under serious
suspicion was afforded this morning by
the excited conduct of the Spanish consul
here. He denounced the taking on board
the steamer of SpaniSh-Speaking rouSta-
bouts and the sudden sailing of the vessel
of the Dominican CONSUL The Spanish
consul classes this as a great outrage and
an act OF piracy, and a formal protest
has been entered with the Haytien au-
thOrities.
The Spanish consul telegraphed to his
diplomatic chief at Santo Domingo this
morning about the Fanita.
There are large number of Cubans in
San Domingo who eagerly desire to re-
turn to Cuba and take part in the war,
and the correspondent here of the Asso-
iardS of this place believe that it may be
part of the mission of the Fanita to af-
ford these Cubans transportation; at the
same time furnishing them with arms
and ammunition.

HORSE FELL UPON HIM
DR. William Taylor's Serious Accident
in New Mexico.

DR.. William Taylor of GA Chandler
street is confined in the Santa ,Fe hos
pital as the result of an injury receiv-
ed in New Mexico. DR.. Taylor is in
terested in some mines near Santa Fe
and while riding down the mountains
as he was leaving the mines on Mon
day, his horse stumbled and fell with
the doctor underneath. He was picked
up unconscious and for awhile it was
thought that he was internally injured
and could not recover. He was brought
to Topeka on the Santa Fe train this
morning and was taken to the Santa
Fe hospital where an examination was
made. Although he is severely injur-
ed it is thought that it is not dangerous
and that he will get well.
