GETS RARE PICTURES.
Senator Clark Said to Have Spent
$3OO,OOO In Paris For Paintings.

Paris, April Ex-senator Clark of
Montana and New York is very busy
with the Paris picture dealers, among
whom he is said to have spent $300,000
during his present short visit. He had
just returned from Monte Carlo when
seen by a respondent in his luxur-
ious rooms at the Hotel de Lathence,
where every morning he holds quite a
dealers reception.
Every hour of his time seems fully
mapped out in engagements, though he
said: Il came here for respite from
business cares with my daughter and
will return after the opening of the
salon at the beginning of May. I had to
go to Nice for a fortnight to get rid of
a rheumatic affection of the instep con-
tracted in walking on the damp deck of
the steamer.
Eyes, I am a great admirer of good
pictures of the early Barbizon masters,
Carrot, Millet, Daubigny and Diaz-
French pictures appeal to me because
of their brightness and life, their mas
terry OF color.
II find great difficulty in getting
authenticated originals, and you must
be pretty shrewd to save yourself from
being imposed upon by copies, of which
there is systematic manufacture on
the continent, SO perfect as to deceive
even experienced cOnnOiSeurS. 1t no
sooner becomes known that some
wealthy collector is fascinated by par
tcular works than their creation is un-
dertaken specially for his benefit.
Il don't care much for statuary; the
finest lacks life for me, and it is a
branch not cultivated in modern times
to such perfection as painting. The
really superbly beautiful examples, like
the Pompeiian Narcissus, are unobtain-
able by anyone"
Turning to the exhibition of 1900 SEN
ator Clark said: THE American people
should not fail to make the most of the
unrivaled opportunity of displaying
their manufactures here. France has
fv-Grl tod 1eaY-
ly to Commissioner Peck, and the prep
aratiOns which I have been permitted
to inspect convince me that it will be
the greatest exhibition ever held
The senator then resumed debating
letters to his two stenographers, whom
he keeps pretty busy.

SHOT AS A SPY.
Yet DR.. Chapman Returns Home to
Tell His Story.

New Orleans, April ia. Chapman
of Courtland, Miss, twice reported dead,
has arrived here on the steamship
Franklin from Bluefields, Nicaragua.
Chapman, who was a surgeon in the
4nsurgent army, tells a thrilling story
of his escape from President Zelaya's
forces. He was captured on February
"a, near Rama, while in the company of
Stephen Powers, an English subject and
also a member of the revolutionary
army. A court martial followed the
capture, the men being tried as spies.
They were condemned and sentenced to
be shot.
A strange feature of the affair is that
the sentence was actually carried out.
stephen Powers fell dead at the first
fire but Chapman was merely wounded
in the left arm. He fell to the ground
however, and thinking they had killed
him the soldiers walked off. Chapman
finally made his way to BluefieldS.
Jack Martin, American gunner of the
San Jacinto, who was captured by Ze-
laya's soldiers, has been tried and con-
vicJed- Sentence had not been finally
pronounced when Chapman left. Mar
tin will undoubtedly be shot.

TO ANNUL THE FRANCHISE.
Wichita Grows Weary of Its Poor
Street Car Service.

Wichita, April 19.-Councilman Cub
ban introduced in the city council last
night a motion authorizing the city at
torney to begin proceedings at once in
the district court annulling any and all
street railway franchises existing in
the city The old Bachelor franchise
and the later Church franchise, which
by default was forfeited, will thus be
done away with, and the city will, by
direct process of law, regain full and
absolute possession of the streets.
One of the well informed councilmen
said that in all probability the street car
service would be dispensed with within
a few days. unless the company should
proceed at once to put on better service
and better cars. At present, he said,
the company was operating the system
under a mere lease or permit, which
could be shut off at any moment.

RACE LINE DRAWN
Between Chinese and Japanese by the
Canadian Premier.

Ottawa, Ont, April 19-Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the premier, replying to a dele
cation from the Trades and Labor con-
gress, Spok favorably on the imposi-
tion of $500 poll tax on Chinese enter
ing Canada, but said he was opposed to
a tax on Japanese whom he character
ized as pro gressive and allies of Great
Britain.
Regarding general labor laws, he said
that the subject was before the Inter
national commission, which recently
met at Wa Shington and an endeavor
was being made to arrive at a uniform
law. Such a law, however, would not
apply to Great Britain.

TO REFUND IT'S BONDS.
Wellington Tires of Paying Interest
On Its Union Depot Bonds.

Wellington, April 19.-H B. Kelly of
Topeka has made an offer to the city
council to engineer through the re-
funding of the Union depot bonds for
$3.50.
In 1889 the city of Wellington issued
$40, 900 in 20-year 6 per cent bonds to the
Santa Fe and Southern Kansas rail-
ways for the construction of the Union
depot. Under a state law the city has
the right to refund or pay off these
bonds after the expiration of ten years
from the date of their issuance. The
ten years expired last month.
This move would save the city $500
yearly interest.
