Legislature has power TO act. My In
formant was In Greensboro yesterday

Interesting situation. which involves no
less than three matters-the stoppage or
the Governors fight against the lease OF

passenger rates, and the making OF a
thirty-year lease of the Atlantic ana

the same thing. Now then, the question
arises. can the action Of the commits

the railways bring injunction proceed

Commissioner Pearson does not Ike the
Nebraska decision regarding maximum

(From the Chicago Tribune.)

The following is a clipping from a
Honolulu paper which went enclosed
with the letter. The article has scare
head lines:
"a beautiful Hawaiian lady is to pre-
side as queen of the Topeka, Kansas
Fall Carnival providing the Hawaiian
lady can be found to accept the position.
by the last mail from the coast a
special committee wrote to parties in
Honolulu stating that it had been de-
cided to offer the prominent pos t1on OF
carnival queen to a native Hawaiian
lady. The lady to act in this capacity
was left to the people here. The COM
mittee stated that the carnival promo
terS will pay the expenses of their hoped
for queen. A special committee will
meet her at San Francisco and will es-
cOrt her to Topeka where she will be the
guest of honor of the city throughout
the carnival
This offer of the Topeka people is no
small tribute to the Hawaiian ladies,
as the problem of who shall be queen
is one that usually is a matter which
stirs up the highest social circles of the
cities in which the Carnivals of the
middle west are held. 1t is the highest
social position that can be held and no
amount of money and social pull is
expended to secure the coveted prize.
sWho will be selected or who will ac-
cept is the problem which a local COM
mittee has now in hand. Plenty of Ia
d es could be named who would grace
the Topeka event, but the doubtful
proposition is what one will be willing
to take the journey"
Another paper contains the following
together with a reprint of the letter
written by John Waters to Mr.. Case:
And now they want a Hawaiian girl
to go all the way from the Islands to
the state of Kansas to be queen. The
request comes from Topeka. to Attorney
D. H. Case formerly of that city and
now court stenographer for the First
district here. The affair over which it
is desired Hawaiian should preside is
the annual Kansas State G.. A. r. re
union and Topeka FAN Festival lasting
from September 26 to October inclu-
sive.
1T is attended by several hundred
Thousand neonIe each year and is back
ed by the moneyed men of the state and
several large railway companies. All

STOLE ALL DEPOSITS.
Cashier COnfesses RObbing the
Bank Employing Him.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. ga Pres
ton, Mimi, special says:
NJ R. Todd, the cashier who wrecked
the Fillmore County bank has confess
sed the theft of all the banks deposit
funds to NJ. T. Grattan, one of his
bondsmen. Grattan told Todd that a
lynching was imminent unless he made
a full statement. Overcome by fears
he confessed that just prior to the
banks assignment he had taken all the
money on deposit and delivered it to a
former partner who is now in Lacrosse,
Wis.
The Lacrosse authorities have been
asked to arrest him and further devel-
opments are expected. 1t develops
that Todd is a fOrger, a spurious note
having turned up in the banks papers.
Todd seems to have completely looted
the bank and his mother-in-law's large
estate. The feeling against him IS
very bitter.

MILES READY TO LEAVE.
Will Start Home From Ponce To
morrow.

New York Aug. pa dispatch to the
Herald from Ponce says:
Details Of the homeward movement
have been practically completed.
General Miles and his staff and eight
companies of the Second Wisconsin vol
unteers leave on Tuesday night.
The Fourth Pennsylvania volunteers
are to start home on Wednesday,.
All of the cavalry horses, guns, car
riages of batteries, etc, of Pennsylva-
mia, will leave on the Mississippi on
Thursday, while the men Of the three
Pennsylvania batteries and the Third
battalion of the Second Wisconsin sail
the same day on the Concho.
The men and guns of the Missouri,
Illinois and Indiana batteries are to
leave on the Alamo Friday and the bat
terry horse on the Ute on Saturday.
The Sixth Illinois volunteers will fol-
low on the Seneca and another ship not
yet named.
1t has been arranged that the whole
detachment of about 5000 men will land
in Brooklyn. After resting there few
days they will parade across the bridge
to Wall street, to Broadway, to Fifth
avenue and thence to Central Park
The men in line will be commanded by
General Wilson and General Miles will
review them.
General Brooke is preparing to move
to San Juan. One hundred wagons have
been sent to him from Ponce to trans
port supplies across the mountains. It
seems probable that he will take all the
forces including the mounted troops
Reports of disorder continue. The
authorities believe the outbreaks are
sporadic and will soon quiet down. Gen.
Miles will probably issue a prOclama-
ton calling for order and decreeing Sc
we're penalties for disobedience.
The trial by a military commission of
II civilian prisoners charged with
burning the town of Cotto, begins to-
morrow in Ponce. Col Griffin of the
First volunteer engineers will preside
The prisoners having no counsel Gen
Wilson has detailed Major Walton of
the pay corps to act in that ca apacity.
This is the first trial of civilians since
the military occupation of the island.

WHITE HOUSE DESERTED.
The Presidents Absence Has a Quiet

Washington, Aug 29@The White
House was almost deserted today. The
absence of the president kept away the
prominent callers whose visits have
marked the daily routine of the presi-
dents life in the past few weeks and
even the number of sight seers who go
through the public portions of the
mansion was less than usual. The go
ing away of the president has put a

Kinley's departure some of the mem
