ROUGH Riders AGAIN UNDER FIRE.

During the fight the First and Tenth
Companies of Roosevelt's Rough Riders
were stationed along the hillside in the
bushes. They we're in the line of fire from
the Spanish batteries at San Juan, which
were using shrapnel almost exclusively,
yet the men kept cool and actually joked
and laughed as they speculated on their
chances of escaping injury. Several were
wounded.

WHY DON'T THEY GO THEN?
Senator Baker Says No Influence is
Being Exerted to Hold Back
Kansas Troops.

T,eavenworth. Kan, July 2S-The atten-
ton of United States Senator Lucien Ba-
ker was called to a special dispatch in
a local paper concerning the Twentieth
Kansas to the effect that the regiment,
having been assigned to go on a certain
transport to Manila, was again displaced
by regiments from California and Iowa
through the intercessiOn of senators from
those states, who secured the selection of
California and Iowa regiments in its
stead. Senator Baker said today: II don't
believe a word of it, I am quite sure the
war department would not interfere with
assigned with brigades to go to Manila.
These officers have been assigned to
commands by the cOmmander-in-chief
and it is not probable that the war de-
partment would in any. wise interfere with
or Otis. 1 think the people Of this state
who are trying to make political capital
out of the fact that the Kansas regiments
have not been sent to the front, because
the state has not a Republican governor,
sc Sou wy BUSINESS. They viii not only not
profit by such work but it is bound to re
pie is to deal fairly with the soldiers of
Kansas. That kind OF work does more
than all else they could do. I am salts
fed the Kansas regiments will line up
with the majority of volunteer regiments
from other states.
Every soldier sent to the Pacific coast
destined for the Philippines will go there.
Not a man will be kept back, and I can't
see that the Kansas boys have lost any,
thing by remaining for a couple of months
on the coast to be Thoroughly drilled and
instructed. I don't believe the parents
of these young men are so very anxious
to have them sent to the front to be shot
department with a view of having the
regiments rushed off to the 'front.' and
were informed that the matter is entirely
in the hands of the general officers COM
manding the army corps, and that the
troops from this state have been given as
good a show as those from elsewhere
I am satisfied that is true, and the best
thing the newspapers can do is to let well
n hn r,T7
thorities. There is plenty of time left to
they are AFTER
CThe last sentence in the above sounds
heartless and it is charitable to Senator
Baker to believe that he did not weigh it
well when he uttered it. AS to killing
OFF, the Kansas boys, it seems that there
is no delay in that, as seven have already
died at filthy Camp Merritt, 80 are in the
city hospitals and 1877 on the sick call. Sem
ator Baker ought to inform himself.)

WON A PRETTY GAME.
Defeats Atchison by Score
of 4 to 3.

Topeka took the second game from
Atchison by the score of to 8.
Jack OConneIl, the new second base
man for Topeka, showed his ability to
play ball and pleased the large crowd
which saw him play. He has ginger"
and plays snappy ball.
Manager Cole of the Atchison team
has several new players and the Atchi-
son team will be greatly strengthened
when the new men arrive.
Tomorrow commences the scheduled
games of the Kansas League. Topeka
will play at Atchison and Salina at
Wichita. These four teams comprise
the league of which Clarence Smith of
Topeka is president
Ottawa has organized a team with
Jack Jamison as player manager. OF
tawa made no application for admission
into the league but if clubs can be re-
cruited in pairs the league will be made
a six or eight team league. With to-
morrOWs games commences the keep
ing of table giving the percentage Of
each club in the league. With a league
it is expected that the interest in the
teams will be increased and that even
harder playing will be the result.
Yesterdays game was a fine exhibit
ton of base ball. The only thing which
marred the otherwise pleasing exhibit
ton was the personal remarks addressed
from the grand stand and bleachers to
the players of both teams. Two or three
persons were particularly offensive, and
a repetition of their conduct will lead
to their election from the grounds.

ARRESTS BREWING.
Spectators of the Usage County Prize
Fight May Be Nabbed.

It is said by those who are in a posi-
ton to know, that several arrests will
result from the prize fight held Sunday
just across the line in Usage county.
It is claimed that James Whitfield,
sporting editor of the Kansas City Star,
will be arranged and held under the
state law. This seems to be going be-
yond the demands of justice. News
paper men who attend a prize fight do
not go to "enjoy'' the affair, but to de-
scribe it.
Officers of Usage county are said to
have made an investigation of the affair
and from one who knows the situation
of affairs here, it is learned that steps
have been taken for causing the arrest
of the principals in the fight, those who
took prominent part in it, and some
of the spectators.
The state law against prize fighting
which IS unnecessarily severe, makes
anyone liable to Imprisonment in the
state penitentiary from one to ten
years, who in any way takes part in,
assists in, or even sees a
prize fight. Surgeons who assist in
dressing wounds, reporters, and in fact
anyone who takes part OF is a. Specta-
tor, is held amenable under the law.
The prize fight excursion started from
Topeka over the Missouri Pacific Sun
day morning. A stop was made just
across the line, and in Usage county.
The fighters had been warned by Sher-
If Cook that nothing of the kind would
be tolerated in Shawnee county.
Usage county authorities were also
notified of the fight, but they seemed to
have been too slow for the fight took
place and it was the scene of several
drunken brawls.
If the warrant is issued for Sporting
Editor Whitfield, a requisition will
have to be obtained, as he makes his
home in Kansas City, Mo.

KANSANS' HIGH GRADE
Twenty-SecOnd Takes Third
Place at Brigade Inspection.

Camp AIger, July 19-The Twenty-sec-
ond Kansas boys made a splendid impress
sion at brigade inspection yesterday. Lines
were almost perfect, and the spectators
applauded generously. Kansas was given
third place, with a grade of 81, Indiana
first with 98, New York second with 9712.
Major Harvey's Third battalion and
company K, under Captain Sherman, were
complimented personally by the inspect
ors. The New York and Indiana regi-
ments were members of the state militia
for FIVE years. They have this advantage
over the Kansas boys, who were raw re-
cruits with but two months drill
The officers of the Twenty-second are
confident that we will get to Porto Rico.
When the boys were poisoned a few
days ago the hospitals were overcrOwded
and the barber shops were converted to
that use.
A fine rain today cooled the atmosphere
and made things pleasant around the
camp. H. E. COBER,

HOT PASSENGER WAR.
Two Colorado Lines in a Rate Cutting
Contest.

Denver. July 23.-F'ree transportation
may soon be offered to induce people to
travel between Cripple Creek and Colo
rado Springs. The Florence & Grip
pie creek and the Midland Terminal
railroads are slashing passenger rates
with a recklessness that bids fair to
make travelling in the Cripple Creek
district cheaper than staying at home.
the an1mus existing between the two
roads is Of long standing.
The elimination of cheapness was
reached when passengers were carried
from Cripple Greek to the Springs

cents
The round trip fare was not cut to
quite such a low ratio, a dollar being
charged, as against the regular fare
OF $40. The general offices of both
roads are located in this city. and from
inquiries among the officials it was
learned that there is no immediate
prospect of a cessation of hostilities
Each side accuses the other of being
the aggressor, and each side likewise

ENGLAND CHANGES BASE.
Will Now Be Content With Keeping
Pace With Russian Navy.

London, July 23--The eagerly expected
statement of the first lord of the ad-
niralty, Mr.. George J. Goschen, on the
supplementary naval program, was
made today in the house of commons.
He reviewed the original program,
which was considered sufficient when
it was framed, being based upon the
two power system, that the navy of
Great Britain must be equal to the
combined fleets of any two powers.
But, in consequence of the action Of
Russia, on the same system, the gov
eminent was compelled to present a
supplementary program, paralIeling
the Russian increase of six battIeships
which Russia proposed to begin in 1898
Only two battleshipS were taken in ac
count on the original British program
and the first lord of the admiralty an
nounced that he now asked the house
to grant four more battleships.
Continuing, Mr.. Goschen said:
1.-THE Russian program provides for
four cruisers. We propose to build
four (cheers) and also twelve destroy

WAR TAX DID 1T.
Creates CONSERVATION in Swell Chi
cago Club.

Chicago, July 23.-The aristocratic
suburb of La Grange has had a pecu-
liar experience with the war tax. At
the annual meeting of the fashionable
music hall association a, lively factional
contest arose over the control of the La
Grange club building and the matter
being put to vote was apparently set
tied by the supposed minority unex-
pectedly producing a large number of
proxies.
After the result was announced a
quiet member arose and asked to see
the proxies. He caused a. sensation by
declared the vote a nullity, the proxies
not being stamped. In the confusion
the meeting adjourned and the deeis-
ion as to who owns the swell club
building of the suburb appears to be
postponed a year till the next annual
meeting, all on account of the absence
of the small but necessary revenue
stamps.

D1vERTs THE CANADIAN.
Katy Hopes to Evade Future Damage
and Delay.

The officials Of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas have at last approved plans for
the changing and permanently arrang-
ing the channel of the South Canadian
river, where that road crosses it in the
Indian Territory. The plans as now ar
ranged call for the digging of new
quarter long. The channel is to be so
feet wide at the top and 20 feet wide
al the bottom and so fortified with sub
cannot overflow and break the banks
away.
This work was authorized by an act
of congress several weeks ago and was
made necessary by the WashOuts in the
Canadian bottom which tied up traffic
on the Katy for about week last
spring and cost the company several
hundred thousands of dollars in loss OF
business at the time and in actual dam
age to property.
