1T is GENERAL HUDSON.
President Mckinley Appoints Fight
Ing Joe as a Brlgadler
General.

Last Friday President Mckinley ap-
pointed Maj. ]. X. Hudson as brlgadler
general of the volunteer army. The
delay had been SO great that 1t was
feared that Kansas would not get
place at all. This appointment pleased
everybody. Both political friends and
opponents rejolced. They all felt that
Fighting Joe would represent Kansas In
this war in most Creditable way. He
believes the war will last two years or
more and Is glad to get into 1t, as he
has favored war from the very begin
ming. believing that there could be mo-
other result.
A representative Republican paper
gives the following with reference to his
Kansas career:
Maj. j. X. Hudson has lived In To-
peka for twenty-five years, and during
that time has been prominntly identified
with the politics of Kansas as a radical
Republican and prohibitionlst. At the
time of his removal to Topeka, In 1873,
Major Hudson purchased the Kansas
Farmer and established II at the capt.
tai city, his eight years of farm life in
Wyandotte county having turned his at
tention to the great agricultural inter-
ests Of Kansas. But in 1879 he issued
the Topeka Daily Capital and was for
many years It's editor and proprietor.
After he was elected State Printer, In
1895, he severed his connection with the
Capital and gave up his work as editor
in-Chief OF a paper that, under his dlrec-
ton had grown to be a great force In the
State, and with which his name and
influence will long be connected. In
fact, 1t is as an editor that Major Hud-
son will always be best known, for the
quarter Of century that he has spent
in that capacity covers the most active
period Of life. The Topeka Capital has
been household word in Kansas almost
since its birth, and 1t was known as an
exponent Of Major HudsOn's personal
views. Perhaps no other paper in the
West, and few in the country bore the
stamp of the personality Of the power
behind 1t 80 forclbly as the Capital un-
der Major Hudsons editorship. During
the protracted fight to enact and sustain
the prohibition law it was the organ OF
the cause, and never wavered in les
championship.
He was born in Ohio in 1910. He
served through the civil war together
with his father and four Of his broth
ers. He enlisted at Leavenworth as a
private in the Third Kansas and came
out as major of the Slxty-sixth United
States infantry. He was in the battle Of
Palmetto Rancho, on the Rio Grande
river, May H. 1865. This was the last
battle of the war
Major Hudson owes much Of his pres
ent success to Governor Leedy, who took
an active part in urging his candidacy.
The Congressional delegation worked
hard for him. Ex-Governor Crawford,
who was a candidate, withdrew in his
interest. Almost everybody In Kansas
was for him, and no appointment could
have been made which would have given
more general satisfaction.

Columbia Sinks British Steamer.

The United States cruiser Columbia
collided with the British merchantmen
Foscolia in a fog near New York Satur-
day evening. The Foscolia was sunk
and a large hole was stove In the Co
lumbia. The officer Of the deck Of the
Columbia makes the following state
ment:
about 7:4O p. m. the British steam
ship Foscolia, in command Of Capt. John
Evans, collided with our vessel during
a dense fog. We were then about eight
miles southwest of Fire island. We
lowered two life boats and rescued the
captain and crew, numbering twenty
one all told We stood by until the
FOscolia sank, at o'clock this morning.
AS soon as we arrived here we sent the
rescued men ashore. Further lniOrma-
tioE in reference to the accident can
not give you"
The captain of the FoscOlia says he did
not hear the Columbia's whistles until
it was too close to avert the collision.
The Columbia is quite badly damaged
and will have to go to the navy yard
for repairs.

NEW LAND GRABBING SCHEME.
Live stock Company Claims the
Land Left Dry by RecedinK
W0tera.

Washington. June 20.-A case present
ing some hovel and interesting features
has been argued before Commissioner Her
mann of the general land Office. 1t iu'
wolves the ownership of lands surround
ing Lake Malheur in Oregon and hinges
on the question of whether the owners Of
the land down to the waters edge in 1877
can now hold lands left dry by the reced-
ing waters of the lake. The French
Glenn Live Stock Company is the appel
liant and claims under the surveys of 1871
and laws of Oregon possession of land to
the waters edge of the lake. Since that
year there has been subsistence of the
water and this company now claims the
vacant land as riparian right. A large
number of settlers have filed entries for
this land in the local offices of the depart
ment and now the question is as to the
title of the laid exposed by evaporation
between 1877 and 1905.

have given has been proven highly yalu-

the disaster to the Spanish soldiers in this

Another body of five Spaniards was
captured by Ensign A. A. Pratt of the

tain named Torres and four sailors. They
said they were on their way to Guam

found on the sloop proved that they had

on the Massachusetts launch. leading the

the bay close under the old fort and we
were preparing to circumnavigate the
bay at full speed when the fire was opened
from the rocks on shore. The Massachu-
sets launch was some distance ahead
about 80 yards off the fort. There was
no room to turn and our l-pounder could
not be brought to bear. We backed and
turned under heavy fire.
cadet Hart operated the gun as soon
as it could be brought to bear, sitting
exposed in the bow and working the gun
as coolly and carefully as if at target
practice. Cadet Powell had been firing
since the Spaniards opened. He also
was perfectly cool. Both launches ran
out under heavy fire. The number Of
Spaniards along the shore was large. The
launches. as soon as was practicable
sheered, to give the Vixen the range OF

down the butt of his gun among some

away the index finger of the left hand
close to the knuckle. Looking out of
