MIR. PORTER BANOUETED.
He Makes a Speech to Cubans on An
nexation.

Havana, Sept. 24.-NIr. Robert P. Por-
ter was given banquet by the leading
club of Cienfuegos while in that city.
Mr. Porter at the banquet, made a
speech, in the course of which he said
that his mission to the island was pure
ly that of studying the riches and re-
sources of the country and the best
means of developing the same and eV-
cry branch of industry and commerce,
and that he hoped he would find the
Cubans ready to help him to succeed
in his mission. He expressed himself
as strongly in favor of the free impOr-
tation of cattle, both for agricultural
work and for consumption, and also Of
the free importation of all material and
implements of agriculture and manu-
facture. He dwelt upon the necessity
for cooperation by every man of prop
erty and laboring people, both Spanish
and Cuban, to help carry out the plans
of the United States for the prosperity
of the island, and said it was well
known that annexation was no part of
the United States programme in Cuba,
but that if annexation should be treat
ed of eventually the initiative step
should emanate from Cuba herself by
her asking the United States for an
nexatiOn.
Mr. Porter finished his remarks by
saying that the United States govern
ment was occupied by and interested
solely in the development of commerce
and industry in Cuba which it was pre-
pared to use every effort and resource
of the country to secure.

NEWS OF THE CLUBS.
Activity in Women's Club Circles
Manifesting Itself

The Study clubs are already reorgan-
izing for their seasons work. So far no
new clubs have been reported, but de-
spite the heat, the fall festival and 9th
ed distractions the old ones are begin
ming their work with more than their
former zeal.
The majority of the clubs have their
course of study mapped out for the
whole year and that means a great deal
of good hard study. If the men, and 'it
is too bad to say it, the few women
who scoff at women's clubs and think
that they are mere excuses for meeting
and gossiping the time away, would
only examine these courses of study or
step into one of the meetings they
would be converted at once.
1t is a fact, and there is no denying
it that WOmen's clubs are becoming
power in the land and every year sees
them take a firmer hold on the public.
Even the small towns and the country
districts where the nearest neighbOrs
live miles away, have been invaded by
the club movement, and every day calls
come to the travelling library commit
tee for books with which to carry on
their work

NOT FOR EXPANSION.
Congressman Vincent Believes We
Should Ultimately Give Up
the Philippines.

Congressman w. D. Vincent of Clay
Center is in Topeka today comforting
with the Populist managers. He says
the campaign is progressing in a salts
factory manner in the Fifth district
and he thinks that the Populst ticket
will make gains over the majorities of
two years ago in nearly every county in
the district.
''Of course, I know more about my
own campaign than I do about the 9TH
ers,'' said Mr.. Vincent, but so far as
1 am concerned have no fears about
the outcome of the election"
Mr.. Vincent is not an expansionist.
LAS to our policy in the Philippines, -
he said, Il believe we should give those
people their independence. 1t would
probably be necessary to maintain an
government is thoroughly established,
but if so, I am in favor of doing that
and then turning the islands over to
the people themselves. Spain ought not
to be allowed to go back there because
Spain does not own those islands. They
belong to the people who live there.
we did not start out on a war OF
conquest but to free an oppressed peO-
pie, and if we should keep all the terri
tory over which we have obtained su-
premacy by force of arms it would look
as though we had been conducting this
war for national gain and had obtained
possession of the acquired territory un-
der false pretenses.
Not only that, but there is danger
that we may bite off more than we can
chew. 1t might be necessary to retain
an interest of some kind in the Philip
pines in order to benefit our commerce,
but I think it will be better as a nation

to allow those people to govern them

The Union LECTURE course.

The coming season will witness new
departure for Topeka in the Union
Lecture course under the management
of a committee representing the city
schools the Federation of clubs and
Washburn college. A course conducted
with this combination of interests can
not fail to secure generous patronage.
The list of talent, including such well
known and popular attractions as Rus
sell H. Conwel, Edward Everett Hale,
the Redpath Grand Concert company,
Gen. Gordon, Geo. r. Vending, Leland
Powers, the Temple Male Quartette
the Patricolc Concert company, and
Prof. John De Motto, promise a course
superior to any that has ever been Of
fered in the city. 1t is the plan of the
committee in charge to put the lecture
course on a permanent basis, using
whatever profits there may be for the
benefit of the next years course.
The organization of the union course,
the new opera chairs in the High school,
the superior quality of the talent, and
the low price of the tickets will insure
a great success.

FELL INTO HOT BRINE.
And so Badly Burned That He Died
Now His Parents are Suing.

A suit for damages brought by D. P.
Foster and wife of Hutchinson, against
the Kansas Salt company, was appeal
ed from the district court of Reno
county to the supreme court yesterday.
The petition alleges that David Perry
Foster, a young man % years old, son
of the plaintiffs, was employed by the
Kansas Salt company in January, 1897,
to rake salt in one of the companys 5
plants at Hutchinson. Young Foster
was put to work on the night shift, and
the second night that he worked he
fell into a pan of hot brine in which
he was so badly sca1ded that after
lingering for three months he died.
His parents set up the claim that the
accident was due to the negligence of
the company in not providing sufficient
lights for the men to see to work, and
they brought suit against the company
for 81, 500 damages. When the case
came up for hearing, however, the
court threw it out on the ground that
the testimony did not bear out the al
legations and refused to let it go to
the jury. It will now be heard by the
supreme court.
