WHAT WILL MADDEN GET.
A Purported Story That He "Was
Promised Just Nothing at ALL"

Taylor Riddle, chairman of the Pop
ulist state central committee, is telling
today what a seIf-sacrificing man John
Madden of Emporia is.
Up to the time John Madden declared
his intention of refusing the nominal
ton as congressman from the Fourth
district and throwing his support to
Martin, the Democratic nominee. Chair
man Riddle was not throwing any bou-
quets at Madden.
But such is fate in politics. John
Madden has apparently made sacri-
flee without any expectation of re-
ward in declining the Populist nominal
ton for congressman in the Fourth dis
trict. He announced publicly at the
convention that his action was taken
purely for the good of the party, and to
intimate friends he stated that he did
not expect reward of any kind, and that
the possibility of receiving something
had no influence in his withdrawal
Taylor Riddle follows Mr.. Madden's
statement by saying that there is no
adequate reward in sight for Madden
But it is pretty likely that Mr.. Madden
will not be neglected

go as a body they would gladly go sep
arately. He was told, and he expected
to get a lot of men for the navy from
the Chicago reserves. AS the OHIO
men refused to enlist individually the
navy department must now seek else
where for its 200 emergency men that
it expected to get from the reserve of
Ohio.

TERROR WILL START.
Spanish Vessels Mysterious Move
ments at st. Pierre.

st. Pierre, Martinique, May 1S.-The
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror
and the hospital ship Alicante are still
at Fort De France. 1t is rumored that
the repairs to the Terror are finished
and that she will leave the harbor to-
morrow.
The signal lights continue and last
night a large number were flashed from
the hills.
A Spanish vessel entered the harbor
late last night, showing no lights, rap
idly secuted and left Immediately.
About 1920 last evening an earth
quake shock was distinctly felt here.
This experience, combined with the ex-
citement caused by the presence and
movements of the Spanish warships,
keeps up the public strain. There is no
doubt that the Spanish fleet, which has
been lying in these waters, has now left
Martinique, going in the direction of
Cuba or Porto. Rico.
