NOTlNOW A CANDIDATE.
Charles A. Taylor Says It's Only a
Friendly Newspaper Notice.

Assistant State Auditor Charles A. Tay-
Tor denies that he has announced his can
didacy for the Populist nomination for
state auditor in 1900 although he says
some of his friends have talked of him
for the place. Mr.. Taylor does not say.
however that he will not be candidate
when the time comes. In speaking of
his alleged candidacy he said:
4 have been given quite little noto-
riety of late by the newspapers stating
that I have announced my candidacy for
the position of state auditor in 1900 1t
is all nonsense to talk of candidates at
this time, and I wish to say that l have
not announced myself The facts are
that several friends, especially in my home
county. have mentioned my name for the
auditors office, and the only reason the
papers have for saying that I am a can
didate is the fact that quite awhile ago
my home paper, the Pratt County Union
in a friendly notice stated that Pratt
county would ask that be nominated for
state auditor in 1900. I treated it as a
friendly notice and have not talked of it

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Will
Not Attend the Kansas Meeting.

Last summer Secretary Coburn wrote to
Secretary Wilson of the department of ag-

deliver an address before the Kansas state

to do SO, but the war would keep him
from it, as he should have to stay in
Washington.
A short time ago Mr.. Coburn wrote him
again, reminding him that the war was

A MUcH-MoURNED MOTHER.
Col. Shafter Thought Twice in One
Month Was Too Often for
Her to Die.

When Shafter was senior colonel Of the
army he was temporarily in charge Of some
western post, and numbered in his COM
mand an exceedingly bright, capable fellow
whose cleverness was continually getting
him the noncommssion stripes, and whose
escapades were just as frequently getting
him reduced to the ranks. One day this
soldier turned up at Skaters quarters with
long face and applied for leave to attend
the funeral Of his mother, who had died the
previous night, he said, in the town. The
request was granted, but later on, in looking
over the same records, the colonel discov-
cred that the same man had been granted
leave the month before on the identical pre-
text. Shafter said nothing, but couple
of days afterward encountered the bereavedi
warrior on the parade ground. "Look here,
my man." said Pecos Bill, solemnly, 81 want

A Lighthouse Keeper Reports the
Sinking of a Schooner with Seven
Persons on Board.
Toledo, O., Nov. IA Cedar Point
fisherman named Velliquet brings a
report here of the loss of schooner
and seven lives on Lake Erie. During
the heavy storm of Thursday he was
blown down the lake and landed on
Green island. The keeper of the light
house there, Gibeaut, told him of a
wreck that occurred the day before.
He saw two-masted schooner making
heavy weather and later her main
mast was carried overheard. Signals
of distress were flying. Gibeaut tried
to get out to the dismasted vessel, but
he could not send his boat into the
gale and was obliged to give up the at
tempt at rescue.
With marine glasses he was able to
see seven figures on the vessel-one
woman and the rest men, or one or two
boys The vessel was heavily laden OF
waterlogged. Finally he saw por-
tion of the crew try to get away from
the sinking craft in small boat. A
furry of snow shut off his view and
later he saw the life boat upset and
drifting down the lake. The remain
ing spar had been carried away and nc
life was to be seen on the helpless YES
sci. She was lost to view in the dark
ness and is supposed to have foundered

IT was thinking" said the man who had

Of youth"

springtime of life; the period when all our

he thought that he could give Bismarck
points on craftsmanship, if he'd only take
the trouble to study little; when he was
certain he'd be able to give Rubinstein mu-
sic lessons, if he decided to turn his atten-

the slightest doubt of his ability to show
Booth where his reading of Shakespeare
might be improved, and when he looked up

Gen. Flagler Points Out Some Oc the
Defects I'm the Army,s Equipment and
Tells How They May be Remedied.
Washington, Nov. 14-D.W w. Flagler,
chief of the bureau of ordnance, has
made his annual report to the secre-
tary of war. 1t shows that there were
expended during the fiscal year ending
June sc, $7,34S, 795. and that there re-
mains of the appropriation made for the
ordnance bureau $40, 79S, S59. This large
sum is derived from the appropriations
for the fiscal year which were made
for war purposes, amounting to $21,-
504, 500.
Regarding the equipment of volun-
teers the report says it would be as
we'll to have the government equip
them, instead of their bringing their
state arms into service, saying that it
would be done as quickly, owing to the
condition of the arms of state troops.
He praises the manner in which work
has been performed at arsenals and
ordnance factories in the rush that was
made in preparing the country for war
with Spain.
AS to the equipment of an army he
says: $50 long as the principal depend
enee in this country in time of war is
large volunteer force newly, levied, it
is impracticable to keep on hand large
supplies of cavalry, artillery and horse
equipments, as these in the course Of
la few years will not only deteriorate,
but will have to be materially modified
to keep pace with improvements. The
major part of such material can, by
taking advantage of the resources of
Rock Island and the other arsenals and
the numerous private establishments
capable of producing it, be supplied as
rapidly as troops can be raised, mus
tered into the service and prepared for
campaigns. There should, however,
be on hand field and siege artillery
with carriages"
| For equipping an army with supply
of small arms he thinks there should
be supply of 100000 on hand of any
new arms, and the aYsenals kept in a
condition so as to produce $500 per
day. An interesting feature of the re-
port is that which treats of coast de-
fenses. The report says: Attention
is especially invited to the experience
of the last few months in attempting
to provide quickly coast defense. 1t
is believed to be impracticable and we
will always be forced in any emergen-
cy to rely upon what has been pro
vided in time of peace. This has been
urged upon congress each year for the
past ten years. The situation is very
simple. A plan has been adopted for
providing complete coast defense.
With the present facilities of the de-
partment this work can be carried on
in the most efficient manner in such a
way as to complete the present plan in
about seven years"

increase of 20 per cent. in October IN

After killing His Father-in-Law and

Glasgow, Ky., Nov. 1s.-Robert
Brown was arrested Friday under SEN
sational circumstances. Thursday
night Brown shot and killed his father
in-law, Louis Mcclellan, and seriously
wounded his mother-in-law and sister
in-law, and then escaped. He returned
to the Mcclellan home in the morning
with an avowed purpose of finishing
the slaughter. He shot Mrs. Mcclellan
and her son and returned to his farm
and fortified himself in his barn.
Officers and large posse surrounded
the barn and over 100 shots were ex-
changed, Brown opening fire on their
approach. He continued the fusillade
till his ammunition was exhausted.
Then the posse lit torches to fire
the barn and Brown threw out his two
guns and two pistols and begged for
protection. He was brought to this
city and threats of lynching were
yelled at him along the way into town.
In the fight at the barn, which con-
tinued from morning till afternoon,
Sheriff Barlow was shot through the
hand and Deputy John Meice through
the ear. Mrs. Mcclellan and her daugh-
ter cannot recover.
If another member of the Mcclellan
family should die now trouble is ex-
pected. The Jail is heavy guarded.

EVERY CLAIM REFuTED.

Americans Gave n Firm Answer 70
J SpaIuss Peace Envoys-Terms of the
Protocol DO Not Sustain the Span.
iard's Attitude.
Paris, Nov. 1O.-Wednesday's session
of the peace commission began at 2:1b
p. m. and ended at p. m. The Ameri-
cans presented to their Spanish coll
leagues the answer of the United
States to the claims submitted on Fri
day last in behalf of Spain. The doc
ument in which the American answer
was set forth consisted of nearly so
sheets of typewriter matter. 1t was
a refutation of the Spanish allegation
that because the words possession"
ownership or ''cession" do not occur
in the protocol clause touching upon
the Philippine islands, the peace COM
missions have no right to discuss them
here, and that even if they did SO 1t
must be in the light of the alleged fact
of an exterior agreement that Spain's
sovereignty should not be impaired.
The Americans also answered Spain's
claim for the restitution to her OF pub
lie money and customs collections
taken by United States officials since
the capitulation of Manila, and made
reply to Spain's claim for an indemnity
on account of the alleged imprison-
ment by United States authorities OF
Spanish troops at Manila and for their
subsequent restraint from being OF
service to Spain in the suppression OF
the insurrection.
The American commissioners held
that there was justification, under the
terms of the protocol, for the discus
sion of the future of the Philippine
islands, and they also claimed that the
occupation of Manila is military oc-
cupation which justifies the United
States in collecting the revenues, ad-
ministering the government and exer-
:ising all the functions of possession.
The next communication from the
Spanish commissioners will deal with
the rights of either commission to dis
cuss Spanish sovereignty over the
Philippines and with the American
contention that the retention of public
money and customs collections at
Manila is justified by the fact OF the
military occupation of the place by the
American forces and warranted by the
| protocol. There is no truth in the
statement that the Spaniards have de-
cided to refuse entirely at the next
session to discuss the cession of the
Philippines.
