The Kansas legislature viii Be called
upon to pass a bill authorizing Attor-
ney General GODDARD to institute pro
eeedinFs in the United States supreme
court for a resurvey OF the boundary
line between Kansas and Missouri,
with the idea OF securing a gOOdly
slice Of the latter state for Kansas.
The bill was prepared in conformity
with belief which has long existed
in the minds of many old residents Of
Kansas that the state line is nearly
one-half mile west Of where il should
be and that the state Of Missouri is ex-
ereising Jurisdiction over q strip Of
territory extending from Kansas City
to the southern line Of the state which
really belongs to Kansas This belief
is based on the fact that under the
survey Of 1890 the boundary line be-
tween Missouri and the territory west
was made to follow a meridian line
which passed through the mouth OF
the Kaw river. The Kansans who are
behind this movement contend that a
large part Of the west bottoms in Kan
sas City, No, which contain many
large wholesale establishments, i'm
plement houses, manufactures, rail-
road depOts and yards and the DOld
paczing-house, as well as the Missouri
part Of the stock yards, is soil right
fully belonging TO Kansas

just issued a statement to the effect
that new coupon sheets with coupons
maturing between April 1, 1899, aud
January 1, 1909, viii be issued shortly
to the holders Of Cuban bonds Of 1890.
This is equivalent TO an admission Oh
the part Of the Spanish government
that 1t will assume responsibility for
the Cuban debt 1t must not, how
ever, be taken from this that the in
terest viii continue to be paid in full
Indeed, 1t is regarded as certain here

A REPRESENTATIVE ENGLlSHMANS lMPRES
SIoNS OF AMBASSADOR CHoATE.

The public debut of the new American ambas-
sador at the dinner of the Associated Chambers OF
Commerce was a success of no ordinary kind
Manly and sincere as it was eloquent, Mr. Choate's
speech struck the note of literary and forensic dis
tlnction that we have come to regard as a natural
gift of American ambassadors. Since Lord Duff
erin left the service, it would be hard to find a
single member of the diplomatic corps who could
be relied on to make such an impression on mixed
and critical audience as Mr. Choate produced
apparently without an effort, on his first public
appearance in London. He was speaking to the
nation as we'll as to the Chambers of Commerce
There are rational frankness and a lucid uncon.
ventionality about the new American ambassadors
style which are found to be extremely attractive
especially by those who are sorely wearied by the
rounded periods and studied impromptus of conven-
tional British eloquence Mr.. Choate was boldly
and successfully outspoken about the very things
on which educated Englishmen think much but say
little, and he expressed average opinion here quite
as much as that of his own country. There was
more to be found in his speech than the racy adroit
ness OF trained advocate. 1t was the utterance OF
a clear and sagacious mind speaking to one great
nation in the name of another; mind more intent
on the realities of things than the glitter and
graces of Words and yet with mastery of style
that hid the finished art concealed. d.-Harper.

The convention Of the above society
which has been in session here since
Monday afternoon, is enjoying liber-
al patronage of attendance from our
people. Last evening was our first
opportunity to attend. The beautiful
quartet singing on the street first at
tracted our attention. In the shad-
ows of the evening hours such singing
as the Ohio quartet can furnish has
peculiar fascination. when rendered in
the open air. On going to the hall,
we found the room filed with an eager
and expectant audience, which was
presently regaled with several more
soul stirring songs by the quartet.
One new feature was a song-prayer,
rendered in touching manner by the
quartet while kneeling.
Rev. David Myland state superin-
tendant Of the society. then delivered
a very practical sermon, which was
well received by the audience. This
man was formerly methodist preacher.
We are not prepared to Judge of the
tenets Of religious body by simply
hearing a single sermon, and that not
intended to be characteristic. One or
two things that we heard, II we UNDER
stood Alright, we would demur to, but
in the main it was very able and
acceptable.
These people are represented here
by Mr.. W. W. Harvey and others, and
are seeking larger quarters in which
to continue their meetings over Sun
day. Tonight the attraction will be
an address by Rev. Stanley a
recent missionary to the Congo dis
