CHEER YANKEE MARINES,
Canadians Make Much of the Marble
head Men at Quebec.

Quebec, Sept. 22.-The Champlain
monument which has been unveiled
stands at the eastern end of Dufferin
terrace, on the eminence which over
looks the st. Lawrence and the sur
rounding country for miles in all direc-
tions. 1t is fifty feet high, and designed
by the French sculptor, NJ. Chevre. 1t
is surmounted by the colossal figure of
Champlain, 1.-The father of New France
represented as taking possession of
Quebec in the name Of the King of
France.
In relief on the base of the monument
are figures and inscriptions commem-
Grating the achievements of the great
explorer. Many government officials
of Canada and a number of distinguish
ed, guests from abroad witnessed the
unwilling. The governor general of
Canada, Lieutenant Governor Sir Will
fred Laurier, and the members of the
international joint high commission
were given the places of first honor
during the ceremonies.
At o'clock in the morning the U. S.
cruiser Marblehead arrived and anchor
ed near the three British warships. She
was given a hearty welcome by the
Britishers.
To Americans the most interesting
feature of the occasion was the heatry
and enthusiastic reception given to
Captain McCalla of the Marblehead,
and his marines and sailors, when they
came ashore.
The three British warships arrived
here several days ago to participate in
the ceremonies, but her majesty's sea-
men did not get the spirited reception
given the battered and bruised old Mar
blehead and her little handful of Yankee
sailors from the stormy scenes on the
south coast of Cuba. When the marines
were marched up through the streets
and gate of the old city, it was one con-
tinuOuS round of cheers 1Or the men Oh

New York, Sept. 22.-The White Star

lanes He was accompanied by his
wife and son Clarence, Spencer EDDY,

he was located on the promenade deck
of the steamship while coming up the

HEARING CONTINUED.
The Controversy Between McNalI and
Connecticut Fire Not Settled
TOdRu

The case Of the Connecticut Fire In
surance company against Insurance
Commissioner Webb McNalI goes over
until final hearing at the regular term
OF the United States court in NOvem-
Der.
In the meantime the restraining order
granted by Judge Foster last July con-
ttnues operative.
The attorneys for the insurance COM
pany started into the hearing of the
case this morning by Mr.. d. r. FIite
reading the bill of complaint. To this
Mr.. David Overmyer, appearing for
Commissioner McNall, objected on the
ground that it showed no cause OF
equity.
Judge A. H. Horton was prepared to
make the opening argument, and re-
ferred to the numerous affidavits filed
by the Connecticut company. At this
juncture Mr.. Overmyer sprang some
thing Of a surprise. He said:
Il object to the Introduction as evil
dence of any of the afidavits filed by
the compliments, except those of Thos.
Bates and F. c. Moore, on the ground
when filed as the new revenue law re-
quires. They have since been stamped,
but there can be no denial that they
were not stamped at the time of filing.
I submit that they can not be intro
duced for this reason.
Il also object to the Introduction of
any evidence in reference to the deal
ines of Mr. AIcNall with other insur-
can not take cognizance of what his
actions may have been with other COM
panies.'
Just at this point Judge Williams had
his say.
There is no use in trying a case two
and three times" said he. This hear
ing is only for a temporary injunction,
and if that was granted a final hearing
would have to be had. There would
be nothing gained by making argu-
ments at this time, and as the restrain
ing order was made in this jurisdiction
it will remain operative until it is dis
charged. I will therefore let this case
go over until the final hearing at the
Regular term of court in November. Yes
sir. that's all" The regular term of
court in November begins November %.
You adjudicate nothing then. your
honor said Mr.. Overmyer, land it re
mains exactly as it is.
yes sir, that's it, yes SIR said Judge
williams TT remains in statu quo
until the final hearing"
More evidence in the form of deposit
tions will be introduced by both sides
in the case.

HARD TO SELL.
Privileges for the Reunion at Garfield
Park Don't Go Rapidly.

Frank Ellison, who has charge of the
reunion privileges says that he has sold
but $500 worth of privileges. Mr.. Ell
Hson says that there has been more re-
luctance on the part of people in Tope-
ka than among the outsiders in purch-
asinsr privileges He says that many
hope to buy cheaper on Saturday
The privileges contracted for this
year are far below the usual number.
The Committee of Fifteen sold the con-
cession two years ago for $4,000 and
last year it brought $500. This year
with everything during the week to be
held on the grounds there is much less
than 1000 in sight Mr.. Ellison does
not attempt to explain this discrepan-
cy, but it plays an important part in
the financial end of the reunion.

Gov. Leedy Able to Please Both Funs
ton and Little.

Governor. Leedy has promoted Fred
erick R. Dodge, sergeant major of the
Twentieth Kansas, to be second lieu
tenant of Company I, in the place of
Second Lieutenant Flanders, resigned.
The promotion Of Dodge was the cause
of the trouble between Colonel Funston
and Lieutenant Colonel Little some
time ago. when Sergeant Hardy, of
Company M, was promoted. Funston
wanted Dodge promoted at that time
but Little recommended Hardy, and
Governor Leedy followed Little's recon-
mendation, in view of the fact that he
had already promised Hardy's friends
at Salina to promote him the first time
oppOrtunitY offered.

fact that he was able to deposit $50 in
