WHAT SHALL TOPEKA DO
For the Newly Purchased Gunboat
ssTopeka" is Considered.

The Commercial club, at the regular
meeting last night, decided that Tope-
ka should do something in recognition
of the compliment paid this city by the
government in naming one of the re-
Gently purchased gunboatS Topeka"
The club had no trouble at all in ar
irving at this decision, but there the
matter stopped. 1t could not decide
just what the something should be,
and after discussing the matter for a
few minutes, thrust the responsibility
on the president and secretary of the
club with instructions to report at the
next meeting.
Major Anderson, secretary of the
club, stated that he thought a stand of
colors the most appropriate remem-
brance, but a few days ago he received
a letter from an ex-captain in the navy
which stated that all the colors of a
ship were provided by the government.
He said his second choice was either a
silver service or library, but the same
letter went on to say that both were al
so furnished by the government. 1t
suggested that china service would
be appropriate and acceptable.
But the members of the club did not
take kindly to a china service. The
sentiment was in favor of either a
stand of colorS or a library. In the hope
of arriving at a decision Mr.. A. A Cod
ard the attorney of the club, was called
upon for an opinion, but he stated that
while he had not been to sea for many
years he was thoroughly lat sea" over
the proposition to do something" for
the new cruiser.
1t was finally suggested that the
matter be left with the president and
secretary, and a motion to this effect
was adopted. 1t is probable that it
with a library such seamen will be
interested in.

GIVES A MILLION.
Queen Heads the National Sub
scriptiOn to Increase
Spain's Navy.

Madrid, April 15.-Great enthusiasm
has been aroused here by the fact that
the queen regent has headed the ma
tional subscription to increase the
strength of the Spanish navy by giving
one million pesetas toward the fund.
The Impartial, Independently COM
menting on her majesty's action today,
says:
Until yesterday many people only
saw in the august lady a virtuous
queen, but since yesterday she has been
known to all as Spanish queen. Her
gift of one million pesetas gains her
millions of blessings
Referring to the political situation the
Impartial remarks:
'Senor Sagasta's government finally
struck the Spanish note yesterday the
result being a reunion of the govern
ment and the people. Today we are all
Spaniards. We forget party lines and
we are united around the state"

THE BABY ACT.
Spain's Appeal to the Powers
For Sympathy.

London, April ia special dispatch
from Madrid published this afternoon
says:
1.-The note to the powers will review
the whole Cuban question, pointing out
that all the trouble with the United
States arises through the clamor of the
sugar manufactur who it is claimed
formented and organized the entire re-
volt. Attention will be called to the al
legged unmolested American flibusters
and it will be asserted that the chief
ins1lrgent leaders are not CubanS, but
adventures of all nationalities whose
sole purpose is plumber and robbery.
THE concessions made by Spain will
be enumerated and the note will say
that while Spain has done everything
possible to pacify the island, the con-
suls of the United States have cOnsti-
tuted themselves inSurgent agents and
the further statement will be made that
when autonomy promised the desired
result an American squadron was sent
to Cuba to encourage the insurgents to
hold off"
These contentious, it is added, will
be supported by documentary evidence
which. it is alleged, will prove the bad
faith displayed throughout by the Unit
ed States towards Spain.
The note to the powers will conclude
with declaring that Spain having ex-
hauSted every means of peace, is re-
luctantly compelled to prepare for war
and to fight for the maintenance of its
rights and honor.

The scheme has matured and already
a number of farmers from different
parts of the state have squatted on
tracts of this land and are improving
it. Their experience will, in time, un-
question: bly, be a repetition of the ex-
perience of the old Allen county land

lives to prevent the railroad company
from not only ejecting them from the
land, but from depriving them of the
benefits of the expensive improvements
on lands that had been acquired,as they
thought, bp presumption.
