CLARA BARTON'S PLANS.
Will First Purchase Two Hospital
Relief Ships.

New York, June 3.-Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the National Red
Cross, will remain in New York several
days. When she leaves it will be to go
to Washington, where she will remain
for an indefinite period. She is unde-
cided now whether she will return TO
Tampa at all. 1t is, therefore, uncer-
tain whether she will accompany the
army when it goes to Cuba. If she
finds it necessary to remain in Wash
ington, however, other representatives
of the Red Cross will follow the army.
In the course of an interview last
evening Miss Barton said that it is now
proposed to buy, with funds obtained
by the National Red Cross Relief COM
mittee of which Bishop Potter is the
chairman, two hospital relief ships
These ships will have a hospital and n
surgical staff, and will be we'll stocked
with provisions. One of them will be
sent to the Philippines and the other
to any field on this side of the Atlantic
in which our army and navy may oe
operating.
Miss Barton said that the National
Relief committee has now in its treas
ury about $4,000, $4,000 of which was
contributed by residents of San Fran
cisco. This amount is being daily sup
plemented by other contributions. Miss
Barton said that the Red Cross also
proposes to secure two large steam
launches, yachts or tugs, to be used Is
relief dispatch boats. These boats will
carry fresh provisions from Tampa to
the fleets and will bring back any
wounded or sick that may be consigned
to them. Each dispatch boat will carry
Red Cross nurses and doctors.

To be Sharpened on the Government
Grindstone Throng the White
House.

Washington, June 3.-President Nc
kinley found a host of visitors from
the two houses of congress, when he
took up the work of the day. He was.
little late in reaching his office and
the rush of callers was so great that
many of them. like Senator Pritchard
and Representative Linney of North
Carolina and Representatives Grout
and Powers of Vermont, found it i'm
possible to wait to see him personally.
Senator Allison of Iowa, chairman of
the appropriations committee and Sen
ator Platt of New York had talk
with him, the latter discussing some
appointments
Senator Bate and Representatives
McMillin and Moon of Tennessee, with
Gov. Taylor of Tennessee, had a con-
ference with the president regarding
the additional Tennessee troops. The
delegation preferred a request that an
additional allotment of two regiments
from Tennessee under the second call
for volunteers should be over and above
the number that will be required to
fill up the old regiments under the
first call. The president said it would
be necessary for Tennessee to make up
the deficiency in numbers of the old
regiments but led the delegation to
believe that that accomplished, they
might still get two full regiments out
side of those thus required for making
the full quota for the old organizations.
Senator Fairbanks and Representa-
tives Lands and Hemenway of Indiana
accompanied by Col. Wingate of Craw-
louisville, Ind, and Ross Hawkins of
Indianapolis, formally urged on the
president the appointment of Gen. Lew
Wallace as a major general of volun-
teers.
President Mckinley told them he had
Gen. Wallace's name under considera-
ton for a major generaIship and might
yet appoint him. but did not commit

CLEVELAND is SORRY.
That He Cannot Attend Red Cross
Meeting and Saws so in a Letter.

Philadelphia, June 3.-Ex-President
Cleveland has written a letter to the
secretary of the committee appointed to
COLLECT funds for the Red Cross society,
the funds to be used for the relief of
soldiers during the war, expressing his
meeting of the society here.
Among other things the letter con-
tains the following: WAR is nation
al afhiction, even when best 5ustlhed
and most clearly unavoidable. What
ever proof it furnishes of mans ad-
vance in civilization and the growth OF
human kinship is apt to be found in the
efforts to which it gives rise for the
alienation of the horrors of battle and
for the relief and comfort of those who
must suffer and die.
1.-THE society of the Red Cross, devo-
ted to these humane and merciful min
istrations deserves the hearty cooper
alton and aid of all good citizens, who
estimate at their just value, the patr1-
otiSm and devotion of those who hght
in their country'S cause"

Charles MarSey, a caValryman, got
into a difficulty, while intoxicated in
town, with negro whose wife he was
accused of insulting. Marsey was taken
to camp in what his comrades thought
to be a dying condition. At the Jail
they were convinced that the negro was
not inside and went at once to the pO-
lice station 1t was also denied that the
negro was there under arrest. The SOL
diers would not believe it, and were
about to return to the Jail with the in
tention of effecting an entrance when
Gov. Bradley and Major J. G. Balance

to the men.
The men at first We're unwilling to
listen to the advice, but when the mus

with them for participating in such I'M
lawful acts they reluctantly returned to
the camp, where they were locked up.

ter Long Illness.

Junction City, June 3.-The funeral of
the late Judge H. S. Clark was held
from the residence of his son, George
A. Clark, editor of the Junction City
Republican, this afternoon. The fun
eral was largely attended by the many
friends of the family, as Judge Clark
was one of the pioneers of this city.
He has been in failing health for some
months and his family had, sometime
since, given up hope for his recovery.
Judge Clark has held numerous posi-
lions of public trust He was a loyal
Republican, a veteran of the late war,
a man of wide experience, acquired in
a measure through his connection with
newspapers. His son George has been
schooled in the art preservative of all
the arts by his father and now pub
fishes a first-class paper. The young
man also received his first lessons in
politics from his father, the result of
which it is said, will be his nomination
as the Republican candidate for secre-
tary of state at Hutchinson next week.

COST OF THE WAR.
Senator ]. z. Jones Estimates Tt at
Over S7Oo,OOO,OOO a Year.

Washington. June BIN the course
of a brief colloquy in the senate today
concerning the priority of amendments
to the revenue bill yet to be consid-
cred, Mr. Jones (Dem., Ark.), expressed
the opinion that all the revenue fea-
lures of the bill ought to be completed
and passed upon before the bond pro-
vision was passed upon, because the
amount of, revenue raised might have
great weight in the determination of
some other pending amendments. He
was satisfied he said, that the bond
provision would be incorporated in the
bill but held that senators ought to
know what the bill would raise approx
imately before being called upon to
vote on the bond question.
Mr. Hale (Rep., Maine), inquired
whether Mr.. Jones thought the small
amount comparatively which would be
raised by the pending revenue amend
ments would be sufficient Il have no
doubt" he continued, that if this war
lasts a year, it will cost the govern
ment between $500, 100000 and $500 ,OOO.-
OOO That is my prediction and 1 put
myself on record to that effect"

HELD FOR MURDER.
Chicago Tandem Rider Killed Ne
gro Companion.

Chicago, June "a coroner's jury
which yesterday afternoon investigated
the death of Daniel Egan, who was
knocked down by a tandem bicycle
Monday afternoon, receiving injuries
from which he died, returned a verdict
holding William and Scott Samuels
colored, to the grand jury for criminal
carelessness. The jury also recommend
ed that the law in regard to speed of
bicycles be more rigidly enforced.
The inquest, which was conducted by
Deputy Coroner Schaefer at Egan'S late
home, IS Aberdeen street, attracted a
large number of persons, especially cy-
clists, who listened to the findings of
the jury with interest. Only three wit
nesses were heard, but their testimony
convinced the jury that the two Sam
uels boys were riding too fast for the
safety of the public.
The verdict met with the favor of the
police department and with Egan's
friends, but the two colored men seem
ed surprised. Egan was a laborer, so
years old.

PRESIDENT CHOSEN.
Wichita's National College Will Open
Septem Der Is.

Wichita, June 3.-One of the first steps
taken toward the opening of the Friends
National university was the selection of
a president, which has just been announc-
ed. For some time the directors have
been looking for the proper man to run
things, and among the first ones thought
of was Prof Absalom Roseburger of
Oskaloosa, Ia, president of the Penn col
lege at that place. Mr.. Roseburger is one
of the best known educators among the
Friends and will doubtless have much to
do with the success of the Friends Ma
tional university. of which he has just
accepted the position of president.
1t has also been decided to open the fall
term on Thursday, September Is. Every
thing. will be in readiness by. that time
and the pupils who start in at the OPEN
ing of the school will be we'll entertained.
Already considerable work has been done
on the building. Workmen have gone

ARMY Is TEMPERATE.
Facts Dispel Charges of Drunkenness
at Tampa

Tampa, June 3.-Nothing could be
more astounding to the officers here
than the statement, attributed to CORE
spOndents of French newspapers, that
the greatest danger to the volunteer
corps is intemperance, and that
whiskey is sold in camp with impunity.
There are about 25, 900 troops in or near
Tampa, and in all this number there
has not been a single case of alcoholism.
or any other disease traceable to strong
drink. This in itself would be a refuta-
ton of the sweeping accusation.
1t is perhaps true that there has been
more drinking among the volunteers
than among the regulars up to the pres
ent time. They had not been subject to
the same discipline, and in the excite
ment of hOme-leaving and camp-m MAX
ing have doubtless done some drinking
But that the army here is remarkably
temperate is noted by every one.
