KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
The TrienniaI Conclave ut Pittsburg n,
Very brilliant Affair.

Very Brilliant Affair.
The grand parade was the finest ever
seen in Pittsburg. Over %, 900 Knights
Templar were in line, and their uni
forms, the appearance of the men and
the perfection of their evolutions won
hearty applause from the 100000 pco-
pie who witnessed the spectacle. De-
troit commandery, particularly, evoked
loud and continued demonstrations by
their precision of movement and fine
appearance.
At the opening business session OF
the conclave reports were presented by
the grand treasurer and grand re-
corder, showing receipts of S26, 791;
disbursements S9,727: net cash re-
sources, 2,l54. The gains since
the last conclave were s,374; losses,
5,63s. The net gain. 2,736.
Detroit commandery had everything
its own way in the competitive drill
of the Knights Templar conclave at
Pittsburg. Louisville commandery
and St. Bernard commandery of Chi
cago were the only ones to oppose the
Michigan men and the latter carried
the 10000 spectators by storm by their
splendid maneuvering.
Louisville captured the Knights
Templar triennial conclave for 1901.

No Troops for Cuba Before December.

No Troops for Cuba Before December.
If the President listens to the recon-
mendation of the military commission
now in Cuba only very small body of
troops will reach Havana earlier than
December. There arc two reasons for
this. The first is that the weather
will be much improved by December.
The second and more important reason
is the desire to use no docks, ware
houses, hospitals or camps that have
been used by the Spanish or Cubans.
This is the only way yellow fever can
be avoided. The commissioners urge
the President to authorize them TO
build everything new.

Washington: The officials of the war
department, referring to the Madrid
dispatch, said that there had been and
would be no change in orders to the
U. S. troops, and that the instruc-
tions given to the American military
commission in Havana to take posses
sion of the island on Dec /, prospect
i've of the presence or absence of the
Spanish officials, would be vigorously
adhered to. The commissioners, acting
upon these instructions, have notified
the Spaniards that all ports and Gus
toms receipts and the management of
municipal affairs will pass into the
hands of the American military COM
mander in the island, and thus end
Spanish rule in Cuba on that date. BY
Dec. 1 it expected that enough U. S.

Nine Thousand People Visit Cash
HeudePSOn'S store

Cash Henderson had an opening yester-
day afternoon and evening. A thousand
people know this who couldn't got nearer
the store than the middle Of Main street.
At exactly $50 O'Clock last night the
crowd that stood surging IN front Of fhe
white City" reached clear across Main
street and from the alley south of Hender-
sons up almost to Tom Shaw's on the
north. This was in addition 70 the thous-
ands who had gone in and ont AMI away
and in addition TO the tight thronr on the
inside which filled all three Of the floors.
IT would be impossible to describe the
big store unless by a visit before hard. A
representative of the Eagle made al at
tempt 10 get through the place but caIed
on account of the crowd. There were
flowers in profusion and a pretty fountain
IN the south aisle on the first floor. There
was a world of brilliant and fashionable
arrays in dress goods, spring wear. etc.
Blume's orchestra played to u tlrong on
the second floor where the display was
equal TO the first floor in different lines
of goods. The crowd eNtelied every
where but the Eagle representative got
no further. He couldn't.
Near his private Office on the first floor
Mr.. Henderson stood giving souvenirs to
the ladies. The souvenirs were an elegant
Sterling silver spoon. having an embossed
design OF the battleship Maine, an alum
mum pin tray, etc. At $50 30 of these
souvenirs had been given away. L would
be conservative TO estimate the crowd
that went TO Hendersou's store Lass night
after o'clock at nine Thousand. The
WiIsreId band played in front oo;h IN the
afternoon and evening and the praise Of
the music was second only 20 that OF
Henderson's big. brilliant store, in the
great opening display.

FRIENDS IN THE SECOND

Mr.. I. n. TRY, representative from Bour-
bon county was in the city yesterday
from Fort Scott. When asked what the
political situation was in his district and
the state, ne said:
Our district, the Second, is for Farmer
Funston for governor"
who is your second cnoice?" was
asked
well, we haven't any second choice.
but 1 can truthfuIly say that Mr.. Stanley
of Wichita has a great many friends over
in our section of the state. There has
always been friendly feeling between
Wichita and Fort Scott. 1 suppose you
have heard of the reception Mr.. Stanley
received at Independence the other day
at the congressional convention that nom
mater Mr.. Kirkpatrick for congress. All
of the gubernatoriaI candidates were
there. but when Mr.. Stanley was called on
and spoke, ne fairly set them wild. Why,
it was several minutes before order could
be obtained.
Yes, Mr.. Stanley is going 10 be a very
strong man in The, race, that is my opin-
ion
The Pratt Republican has the following
10 say:
That man Stanley of Wichita is gath
erng in several delegates to the state
convention and they are not all coming
from the Seventh district. He has been
superintendent of a Methodist Sunday
school for more than twenty. Tars and
must therefore be a better politician 5han
his opponents imagine. Mr.. Stanley is
very liable to be the next governor of
Kansas"

was doing the bully act toward Spain.
Spain, according to his version. had be-
friended ireland in 1900 and for that rea-
son ought to be given anything that she
asked. Some other statements by Mr..
Cunningham on the same order made MIR.
Singer mad, and he told him just what
he thought of him. He said:
If those are your sentiments. you are
Il traitor 20 your country, and if you had
made such remarks in 81 you would
grease a telegraph pole"
Mr.. Cunningham got mad.

However, an armistice was made and
