Soldiers Refuse to Vacate the
Sleepers and Take Other
Cars.

Columbus, o., Sept. 15.-There was n
sensational scene at the union station
last night about midnight when troops
A, B, and c, First Ohio volunteer cav
airy of Cleveland. took forcible posses
sion of a train and refused to permit it
to be moved.
The soldiers were brought in here
from Huntsville, Ala. in tourist sleep
ers, but the contract only called for
their use as far as Columbus, so the
Pennsylvania railway ordered the
Cleveland men out that the cars might
be returned to Cincinnati. The men re-
fused and when an engine was coupled
on to the five cars an armed line Of
guards was thrown around the train.
The railway people were forbidden to
move the train, the intention being to
have one of the Cleveland roads to haul
the cars. The men were to have left
here before midnight but it was after
2 a. m when Major Webb Hayes and
District Passenger Agent J. NJ. Harris
finally compromised the matter. The
cars went through on a special G. A.
and A train and an extra. claim for SER
vice will be filed by the Pullman COM
Dany.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat has ta-
ken great pains to obtain an article
about Miss Anna Rose, the Hawaiian
young lady who is to be queen of the
Topeka carnival. The Globe Democrat
prints the article today together with
an excellent likeness of Miss Rose. 1t
is as follows:

PORTO RICAN POSTOFFICEs
What the United States Government
is Doing There.

Washington, Sept. ia further ex-
tension of the postal service in Porto
Rico has been made. Coamo, Utuamo,
Yauco and Juana Diaz having been
designated as postal stations. These
offices will be in charge of officials sent
from this country. In many cases the
Spanish officials are permitted to dis
charge the duties in such offices, but
and under the supervision of American
authorities. When found unsatisfac-
tory they are replaced by American Of
ficials as is shown by letter recently
received from Mr.. Kempner, the de-
partment agent, by Perry S. Heath, the
first assistant postmaster general. The
letter says that the military authorities
at Guantanamo, Cuba, found the post
master to be a Spanish sympathizer,
who was not trusted by the Cubans or
the foreigners He was not considered
a safe person to handle the mails, and
Col. H. P. Ray therefore appointed
regimental chaplain in his place to
serve temporarily. 1t has been recon-
mended that a United States postal Of
fetal be sent there as soon as possible
with sufficient stamps to supply the
demand as none can be obtained at that
place. w. E. Spicer will take charge
of the office.

ONE DAY OF FESTIVAL.
Friday Will Be the Only Day of the
Fall Festival This Year.

The program of the Fall Festival
heretofore published has given details
of the G. A. r. reunion-only and has
failed to mention the Festival features
of the week There seems to be only
partial understanding of these features
among people generally, and they are
here made plain.
The reunion will end with a grand
illumination at the camp grounds
Thursday night of Festival week. The
Festival proper will be inaugurated
Friday.
In the afternoon there will be a big
parade, composed of a F'raternaI divis-
ion, a Floral division and a Civic dfvis-
ion. All the fraternal societies and
civic organizations of this city will par
ticipate, and a large number of ladies
will take part with decorated carriages.
The Karnival Queen, Miss Anna Rose
of Hilo, Hawaii, will make her first pub
lie appearance in this city in the Floral
parade that afternoon.
Friday night the Karniva1 will be
ushered in with Karnival parade fol-
lowed by KarnivaI festivities on kan
sas avenue and a masquerade ball at
Hamilton hall.
There is also a move on foot to give
another big parade on Saturday morn
ing as a closing feature of the week,
but as yet this has not been definitely
decided upon.

REPUBLICANS ACTIVE.
Which in This Case Gives the Popu-
lists Some Anxiety.

Frank Brown, secretary of the Re
publican state central committee, has
come into possession of a letter which
he claims was sent by the Populist
state central committee to c. G. Scott,
a prominent POpulist at Fort Scott.
The letter warns the Populists to
guard against Republican manipulation
in the legislative districts, and says
that the Republican state central COM
mittee recently sent an expert to the
office of the secretary of state to ascer-
tain how many votes were necessary to
carry the districts as they are now ar
ranged.
Mr. Brown claims to have discovered
that the Populist state committee is
sending out similar letters all over the
state. '"The trouble with the POpu-
lists he said, 'is that they have gerry
wandered some of the legislative dis
tricts and now they are afraid of be-
ing beaten in those very districts"

DO YOU UNDERSTAND GOLF
If You Do This Will Be Interesting
to You.

Morristown, N. J., Sept 15.-As the
competition for the amateur golf cham
pionship advances the interest in the
several contests increases. A large
mum ber of men and women prominent
ly identified with the game were early
on hand today at the Morris county
club house and closely followed the
eight players who will strive to qualify
for the semi-finals which will be played
tomorrow.
OF the men now left in w J. Travis,
Findlay Douglass, G. B. Macdonald and
Walter B. Smith are picked as the win
ners of their respective matches today
Travis is paired with FOXhalI Keene
who defeated Tynge so cleverIy yester-
day and while Travis is a popular IA
vor1te there are many shreWd judges
who claim that Keene will give him
very much harder game than the Oak
land club golfers friends anticipate.
Findlay DOugless, who is in import
ed golfer, should certainly win from J.
A. Stillman, as he is undoubtedly one
OF the most finished players seen in the
present tournament.
A good game should be the result of
the meeting of ex-Champions @. B.
MacD' na1d of Chicago and A. NJ Coates
from the Newport club Coates, like
Dougless learned the fine points of the
game in Scotland and as he is within
a couple of strokes of being as good a
player as H. J. Whigham, who has held
the championship for the last two years
an exciting contest may ensue.
The fourth pair, Walter b Smith of
the Ontwansia Golf club of Lake For
est, Ill, and George D. Fowler of Phil
adelphia are pretty well matched but
the Chicag goan has advantage in driv-
ing. Smith in his play yesterday exc
cuted a phenomenal drive the ball trav-
cling about 230 yards, falling in the
hole on the side of a hill without roll
ing two feet. Many of the players who
saw this performance applauded the
young western player, who for the
past two years has put up an excellent
game for Yale, in the intercollegiate
series. Fowler will have an advantage
in approach plays and both are equally
clever on the putting green's.

BLANCO'S REGRETS.
Still Angry at Uncle Sam for Declar-
ing War on Spain.

New York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
For the first time since the peace
protocol was signed, Captain General
BIanco has consented to speak of the
war This is what he said:
Il am naturally inclined to be chari-
table and am incapable of hating any
one, but I confess to a feeling of deep
resentment against the United States,
whose conduct toward Spain in declar-
ing war against US, without motive or
pretext, just at the time when they
were receiving from US the highest
marks of our friendship and respect,
can never be condemned too severely.
1T ought never to be forgotten that
Just when the United States were an
nOuncing their intention of coming to
Cuba to establish a firm government,
they were in reality directing hOStili-
ties principally against Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
Since the beginning of this war it
has always been my heartfelt desire
as coTnmander-in- chief of the army for
my armed strength against theirs, and
die, if necessary, among the ruins of
Havana, if fortune were not faVOra bic.
but I was unable to realize my hope.
My government has signed the peace
protocol and her decision must be COM
piled with. Nevertheless, I have an
eternal confidence in divine justice, and
I have therefore hope that this arrogant
nation will receive its just deserts and
God knows that the day when this act
of national dispoliatiOn is accOmp
Hshed and the stars and stripes float
from the walls of Havana that day
may perhaps mark the beginning of the
decay of the American nation.
Before it is all over, I wish to put
myself on record as having no dislike
for the army of the United States. On
the contrary have the highest appre-
citation of their noble and courageous
behavior

WAGES INCREASED.
Pittsburg Railroad Men Well Treated
by the Gulf

Pittsburg, Kan, Sept. 15-On the next
pay day of the Kansas City, Pittsburg
& Gulf railway the employees of the
road are to receive STANDARD pay'' for
their services, in accordance with the
agreement made about a year ago be-
tween the officers and EMPLOYEES Of the
road. The new schedule of wages will
make an increase of from 10 to u per
cent for train men and will make a
great difference in the pay roll. The
trainmen in this city feel greatly elated
at their prospects and think they have
earned their reward by sticking to the
road in its infancy on much smaller pay
than that given by the older systems.
The road is now doing a large through
freight business. and the trainmen are
getting in a great deal of overtime.

TOO MUCH COMES OUT.
In the QuarreIs of Spanish GEN
erals So COrtes is PrOrOgued.

Madrid, Sept. 15.-Premier Sagasta
has obtained the queens signature to a
decree proroguing the cOrtes and with
it ended a stormy session of the senate.
General Primo de Rivera had de-
manded an inquiry into his adminstra-
ton of the Philippine island, and in do
ing so ne said the attacks OF Count
AImenas were only eft for the mouth
of a miserable slanderer."
Count A1menas was endeavoring TO
reply when Senor Sagasta read the de-
cree prOrOguing the cOrtes-
Count Almenas and Gen. Rivera sepa-
rated. approached the president in a
hostile manner, and a duel is expected.
Premier Sagasta afterwards read the
decree in the chamber of deputies.
London, Sept 15.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
1.-THE politicians, for the most part,
favor an entire remuneration of the
Philippines in exchange for economic
advantages.
'eThe government closed the cortes to-
day, wednesday, because it feared
complications through the publicity a
continuance of the session would give
to the acts of the Spanish generals"
Sagasta's Activity.
New York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says:
The senators were sitting in their
house ready to take on for many days.
General Primo de Rivera had con-
cluded a violent speech. which had
caused the bell of the president of the
senate to be rung violently; he had been
warned that such strong words could
not be used in the senate; the Count de
Almenas, furious, had asked permission
to mount the tribune; MOnterO Rios had
refused him, fOreseeing scenes which he
would be unable to control, when there
was a general hutter.
Sagasta in his uniform, with the de-
cree of the suspension of session of the
cOrtes in his right hand, ascended the
tribune. He mounted the rostrum and
read the decree-and the law forbids
anyone speaking after the queens de-
cree has been read.
The decree was brief. 1t was then 4
o'clock. Leaving the senate, Sagasta
entered his carriage which was driven
at full gallop to the cortes, where he
entered. His arrival was the sign for
the opening of the session. He re-
peated exactly what he said in the up
per house of the cortes and within a
half hour both were closed without
time having been given for remon-
STRANGE or murmur.
Sagasta showed combination of
muscular energy which was extraordi-
nary. His pluck probably saved his
country and his sovereign.

SURE OF POSTAL SERVICE.
Pittsburg Not Satisfied With Western
Union Accomm odations.

Pittsburg, Kan, Sept. 15.-The secre-
tary of the Pittsburg Commercial club
has received a letter from the superin-
tendent of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany stating that it is the intention of
the company to extend its telegraph
lines to this city as soon as possible.
Owing to the construction of extensions
in progress, and which the company de-
sires to complete before undertaking
more. it is not believed that the line
will be built into Pittsburg before the
first of the year, but it is intended to
make this city a point in its system
some time during the winter. The un-
satisfactory service given Pittsburg by
the Western Union has resulted in the
Commercial club doing all it can to get
the Postal company to build to this city,
and today it is assured that its efforts
have succeeded.

Horse to an Insurgent Chief

Havana, Sept. 15.-The mayor of Ha-

magnificent saddle horse to the insurgent
chieft, Mayia Rodriguez. At the same
time gifts were sent to him from a well
known councilman A former aide of

There is an evident desire upon the part
of Cubans holding office under Spanish

While these gifts are purely personal as
between old friends the conduct of the
donors has been adversely criticised and
