WHAT SHALL WE CALL ?
Says Senator Rawlins, When the
Country Is No Longer the q. q. A.

Washington, Feb In accordance
with notice previously given, Mr.. Raw
Inns (Utah) addressed the senate today
on the Vest anti-expansion resolution.
Senator Rawlins said: 1.-THE atmos-
phere just now seems to be clouded with
perplexing problems. Everyone, 1 pre-
herring to justice, to do the best he can
for his country. I have not heretofore
been opposed to expansion. This nation
has been one of growth; in population
from three to Seventy-fiVe millions; in
territory from the shores of the Allan
tic across the continent to the swelling
waters of the Pacific. Millions of the
homes of our sturdy and patriotic peo-
pie and magnificent states have been
the fruits of our expansion
Territorial expansion with common
surate extension OF constitutional free
dom is twice blest; it blesseth them who
give and them who receive.
mo man can set an artificial barrier
to the inevitable progress of the Amer
lean people, but thus far our progress
has been that of freedom, not of
tyranny When our fathers christened
the republic they gave it a name which
they doubtless deemed sufficient to
cover all the exigencies of the future
career. 1t was to be 1.-The United States
of America We could stretch out to
the north and to the south until we
encOmpaSSed the two continents and all
the islands of the Caribbean sea and
still we might appropriately bear the
we now change that name and if SO
what shall the new name be and what
shall it symbolic? Shall it be the
United States of America and the king
dom of the Philippines? Or shall it be
the empire of America and Asia? AL
ready there are spectral visions of this
in the political sky. Mr.. President,
have not been so much alarmed at the
idea of extending our borders as 1 have
been at some of the startling doctrines
which have been advanced by advocates
of the retention of the Philippines"
Mr. Rawlins then discussed the extent
of the power of the government under the
constitution to acquire. hold and govern
territory, maintaining that such power
must be exercised to subserve the objects
and purposes for which the government
was created. He contended that the con-
stitution in all its provisions, lirnita tions
and safeguards, was as applicable TO the
territories and their inhabitants as to the
states; that while some of the provisions
of that instrument may not be self-exe-
cutting, they are no less in a territory. than
in a state; that an act of congress is
not necessary to apply the provisions of
the constitution to a territory.

c. A. WolcOtt, President of the
First National Bank of Russell
Is Missing, and the Bank and
County Are Sufferers.
COUNTY HAD $4,000.
Wolcott Left the City Quietly
Sunday After Night.
Left a Letter of Explanation
Loss From So, 700 to $4,000.

Russell, Feb. 1.-The First National
bank of this city was closed yesterday
afternoon by order of the comptroller
OF the currency, and Bank Examiner
John u. Cunningham was ordered in
charge as temporary receiver. The ac-
tlon or the comptroller was taken upon
notification by the board of directors
on the morning that the president,
Charles A Wolcott, had left the city
ana that the affairs of the bank We're
In very bad condition.
President Wolcott left the city Sun
day night, unknown to any person ex-
cept his son, with whom he left an ex-
planatory letter for delivery to Cashier
Hoover and the directors Monday even
ing. To friends he wrote, detailing the
condition of the bank, and stating that
he did not have the courage to remain
and face the exposure
With the closing of the bank a notice
was placarded on the door which stated
that all the depositors would be paid in
full as soon as the banks affairs could
be Strengthened out
WOlcOtt'S shortage is said to be all the
way from $4,000 to $40, 900, and is due to
reckless speculations in wheat through
the agency of a local bucketShop. The
market was against him and in his eff
forts to retrieve his losses he plunged so
deeply that financial ruin faced him.
Wolcott has been a resident of Rus
sell for 25 years and had the confidence
of the community, and his friends be-
the banks loss. They affect to believe
that he has exaggerated the seriousness
of the situation and that there was no
need for him to disappear.
The last statement of the bank, made
December 1, ShOwed:
iabilfties-Capital. $4,000; surplus
and profits, $11, 795; calculations, $1s,0 600;
deposits $50, $50.
Resources-$169 .146, mostly due on
loans and on deposit with eastern cor
respondents. Since the statement, the
deposits have decreased somewhat, but
not heavily as there has been no run.
No effort has been made as yet to To-
cate said President Wolcott, and none
will be made until the examiner has
made an examination.
The heaviest depositor is the county
treasurer, who had one-half of the coun-
tvs funds. ST, 900, on deposit
The officers of the bank, are: Presi-
dent, Charles A. Wolcott; vice presi-
dent, d. w. Geer; cashier, V. r. Hoov-
er, who, with L. c. Walbridge and M.
P. Miller, of Russell, and Jasper T. Dun
ham, of Boston, also constitute the di-
rectOry.

SLOANE SKELETON.
Papers For Divorce Drawn - Perry
Belmont the Man in the Case.

New York Feb. 1.-Perry Belmont and
ex-miniSter to Spain. an ex-member of
congress and a millionaire clubman, faces
a scandal today which will either drive
him from respectable society or make him
even more of a leader here and at New
port.
Mr. Belmont has for many weeks been
commonly reported to be the man In
the CASE who caused the separation of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Sloane. Like per-
formances have more often won the badge
of honor than condemnation from New
make an interesting topic for society eX-
pertS.
The unhappy relations of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sloane today reached crisis and papers
have been drawn in a legal proceeding OF
very unusual nature.
Wits containing startling charges; and
mentioning the name of Perry Belmont.
The contents of these afhdavits cannot be
published.
One thing and only one can prevent this
extra ordinary climax in the affairs of Mr.
shall relinquish without going into court
the custody of the two children-younE
girls. All efforts by her friends, and by
one in particular, have so far failed to in
duce her to take this course.
The foregoing statement of facts is made
on the highest legal authority. 1t is ascer-
tanned that the legal proceeding under
taken is an application for a writ of ha-
beaS corpus.
Notwithstanding the Inevitable pub
1icity of such legal action" said one of
Mr.. Sloane's friends today, "a publicity
deprecated most strongly, Mr.. Sloane has
been compelled to this step by his deter
mination to remove his children from the
home from which he himself has been
forced to withdraw"

SUPP. OF INSURANCE.
Son of Judge Webb Says Why He
Was Removed.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
The papers have made the statement
that Governor Osborn removed Judge
Webb from the office of superintendent
of insurance That is true, but it is very
probable that they do not know why
Governor Osborn removed Judge Webb.
Nearly % years have elapsed since that
event, and both Governor Osborn and
Judge Webb are in their graves. In
common with many other men, some of
whom were then prominent in Kansas
politics, Judge Webb supported Horace
Greeley for president in 1872. His sup
port of Greeley was the cause of his
removal from the office of superintend-
ent of insurance. So Judge Webb sta
ted at the time, to the writer hereof.
No charges of misconduct in office were
preferred against him. Not only the
truth of history, recorded and unwrit-
ten, but justice to- the memory of those
now gone. prompt me to make this
statement.
Many of the men who supported
Greeley in 1872, did so because they
earnestly desired to see the "bloody
chasm' between the north and the
south closed forever. 1t would be an
affront to the better angels of mankind
to apologize for acts prompted by mo-
tives so humane.

TAXING PULLMAN CARS.

The legislature of Washington has
taken up the question of taxing Pullman
cars and the Tacoma Ledger, in an edi-
torial article, offers some suggestions as
to what it considers the best method
to reach the desired end. The Ledger
says:
is not a new one, and while its purpose
is to be commended, it is doubtful if
the company can be reached in that
way. 1t has been tried in other states
and failed, for the reason that the COM
pany has always found some way to
defeat the law in the courts. Failure
has been largely due also to the fact
that no two states have had exactly the
same law, and these differences have
given the company the advantage of
legal techniealities which have enabled
1t to evade the law.
Tt has been suggested that the most
effectual way to reach the company is
to form a combination with a group of
states, through which the company runs
Its cars over lOng-diStance roads, and
pass laws exactly alike in every state.
This plan was found to be necessary in
latures of those two states undertook
to regulate the railroads and wheat ele-
vatorS. 1t was found impossible to con-
troll the railroads and elevator COM
panies until laws exactly alike had been
passed by both states because of the
interstate character of the business
done by the corporations. The combina-
ton laws in those states have worked
perfectly and have given the people all
the protection they desire.
If the Washington legislature can de-
wise means to compel the Pullman COM
pany to pay its Just proportion of the
taxes it will be entitled to the grateful
plaudits Of the nation.

SAYS HE Is sCHLATTER.
New Yorker Declares He is the Great
Divine Healer.

New York, Feb Although 1t was
reported some months ago that the man
who called himself Schlatter and was
known as the divine healer" was dead
and that his bones had been found in a
desert in the southwest,a man who says
he is Schlatter, who looks like him and
talks like him is now in Brooklyn. He
says that in the Atheneum in ATLANTIC
and Clinton streets Sunday night he Will
demonstrate he is Schlatter by curing
the faithful who go to him; his real
name is the Rev. Charles Mclean, D. D.
Tall, slim and angular, his hair is long
and draggly, and on the street is worn
in knot under his hat to avoid atten-
ton. His beard is long and comes to
point, not because of any trimming, but
from natural inclination.
His hands are long, with tapering
fingers, suggesting the latent energy. He
was asked about the story that he was
dead.

He denies that he does the healing;
insists he is merely the instrument.

A DEFECTIVE SIDEWALK.
Leavenworth Girl Sues the City for
$4,000 Damages.

Leavenworth Feb. 1.-The case of
Annie Finn against the city of Leaven-
worth is on trial in the district court
The case is one in which the plaintiff
sues the city for $4,000 for injuries sus-
tanned through falling upon a defective
sidewalk.
The accident occurred January 16,
result of the fall she is permanently
crippled. The injury is one in the re-
gion of the hip and that part was Sc
that, according to Miss Finn, she is a
cripple for life
The sidewalk which caused the action
was located on Shawnee street, imme-
diately east of Geraughty's grocery, on
some property owned by NJ. A. Kelley.
In February, 1897, Miss Finn, through
her attorney, ]. c. Petherbridge, insti-
tuted the suit against the city and it
has not come to trial till now because
the district court was weighted down
with business.

ALTON DEAL IS CLOSED
The Road Goes to the Syndicate
as Previously Announced.

New York, Feb. IA Wall street
news bureau today made this statement
regarding the Chicago & Alton railway:
I'VE are able to state that the Alton
sale has been practically concluded. The
property will be taken by syndicate
for the benefit of Illinois Central, Union
Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Missouri.
Kansas & Texas. How it is to be oper-
ated to the advantage of these interests
is not yet declared, but the general
statement is made that the method will
be to the interest of all. Tt will GER
tainly be to the advantage of Missouri
Pacific and Kansas & Texas by giving
them direct line to Chicago. 1t will
perhaps improve the Illinois Central po-
sition at St. Louis and will give it
line to Kansas City. The advantage to
Union Pacific is not so clear although
the fact that the Illinois Central will
build to Omaha will put that company
on an equality with Chicago-Omaha
lines in the handling of transcontinental
business.
There is little reason to doubt that
holders of Alton, can count on getting
IT'S for the common and 200 for the pre-
ferred."

Wells Bros. to Put In q $4,000 Gold
Storage Plant

Coffeyville, Feb. 1.-Wells Bros. have
let the contracts for new $4,000 cold
storage building and cooling plant. The
plant will be located in a new brick
building, 25x100 feet in dimensions, which
will be built near their cold storage
buildings and poultry packing house
at Seventh and Walnut streets. The
machinery and apparatus will be located
in the new building, but both the cold
storage building and the packing
house will be piped and the system will
thus cover three large buildings, the
two now standing and the third one to
be built
purposes throughout and ice will, there
fore, be unnecessary. The total cost
of the plant will be about Sc, 900. The
new brick building will materially i'm

REPORT FAVORABLY.
Bills Against Bucket Shops and Cigar
cites Come From Committee.

The house committee on agriculture
this afternoon reported favorably on
the ''anti-bucket shop bill The bucket
shops have evidently not yet come
down"
The committee on hygiene and public
health, to which the anti-cigarette bill
was referred this afternoon, reported a
substitute for it, The substitute pro-
hibits the sale of tobacco in any form
to persons under 16 years of age. The
original bill simply prohibited the sale
of cigarettes to minors.
The objection to the substitute has
been raised that it does not prohibit
selling cigarettes, as cigarettes are gem
orally not made of tobacco.
