WITNESSES SUMMONED.
Falloon-Stuart Contest Comes up
Next Tuesday Afternoon.

The hearing of the Falcon Stuart jul
dicial contest by the state senate is
scheduled to begin next Tuesday after
noon, the senate converting in special
session for the purpose. Just what the
senate will do is a matter of conjecture.
The opinion is that the Populists will
hear the contest and trust to the next
legislature to get their pay.
Some of the Populist leaders want the
senate to dismiss the case, but this plan
does not meet with general favor.
r. H. Gassoway, the senate sergeant
alarms, has returned from a tour to
summon witnesses for the hearing.
Those he visited were: ]. P. Grinstead,
Wathena Star; Mrs. D. P. Leslie, county
clerk of Brown county; Ewing Herbert,
editor Hiawatha World; Bert Howard,
editor Horton Headlight; County Clerk
Sanborn, Nemaha county; Ray Ayres,
Nortonville, and ]. M. Simpson. Nc
PherSon.
Many of the senators will be in To-
peka Monday and say on their way
to Kansas City to join the Port Arthur
excursion, which leaves there Tuesday.
1t has been suggested that the excursion
may leave the senate without a quorum.

WRITE IF you DON'T GET THIS
Old Story Applied to Communities
ton to the Governor.

Everybody has heard the old story of
the Irishman, who in addressing let
ter to his folks across the water, urged
them to be sure and write to him, ''eVen
if you don't get this" he adds.
A story as good as this is now float
ing around at the expense of a Miami
county lawyer who got mixed in a letter
written q few days ago to the govern
or's office. The lawyer had written, as
it developed, two letters with reference
to some business matter, the second let
ter being the first to arrive at the ex-
ecutive office for reasons which were
explained by the writer when he said:
1.-The facts are as 1 explained to you
in Yesterdays letter, which was torn up
because the address was wrong and you
won't get it, so please let me hear from
you
The executive office is still wondering
what the facts were in the letter which
was DESTROYED

Philippines. The conditions now pre-
vailing in Luzon indicate that for d
long time, it will be necessary to main
tain a strict police of the coast and in
land waters. For the inland work es-
pecially the department will need some
very light draft boats. For this work
the big ocean tugs that formed the mos
quito fleet that operated around Cuba
during the blockade and of which the
government has a number now being
looked over with a view to just this
service will be used. Some of them are
on the Pacific coast. The department
has figured out a coasting voyage that
will take them up the Alaskan coast,
coaling at Sitka, Una1aska, Cooks In
let and so down through the Aleutian
islands to HakedOta, the northern point
of Japan. Thence they can make the
run across the China sea down to Hong
Kong and thence to the Philippines.
There will be about a two months voy-
age. but one that can be made safely.
Spain had a large fleet of the small
gunboats and torpedo gunboats admir-
ably suited for this work in the Philip
pines but she has recently sold IL of
them at Hong Kong. 1t is possible that
some of these vessels may be repur-
chased by the government in case they
are in good condition and can be had
for a reasonable sum. The tugs destn-
ed for Philippine service will be armed
with an abundance of machine guns
and with heavier rapid fire guns up to
or II Founders.

INVITATIONS ISSUED
To Favored Ones to Witness the KILL
ing of Mrs. Place.


New York, March 1s-Warden Sage
of Sing Sing prison will send out some
time today the invitations to witnesses
who will be present at the execution Of
Mrs. Martha Place for the murder of
her step-daughter, Ida Place. 1t is
generally understood the execution will
occur on Tuesday at about II a. m.
The warden said today that Mrs.
Place had passed a quiet night and
seemed to be resigned. She has now
given up all hope and when her spirit
ual adviser. Rev. NJ. Cole of Yonkers
left her last evening, she assured him
that she would place her trust in God.
Mrs. Place has had but little appetite
since she learned Governor Roosevelt's
decision yesterday that the law would
have to take it's course and she ate
sparingly of the breakfast which was
sent to her apartments this morning.
She wrote a number of letters to her
Is year old son who is adopted In
family in Newark. The boy has not an
swered any of the letters although his
foster parents allowed him to visit his
mother after her arrest for the murder
in Brooklyn.
BY order of Governor Roosevelt the
execution of Mrs. Place will be con-
Quoted as privately as possible. There
will be present only the required num-
Der of doctors, including one female
physician, the warden's deputies, a wo-
man attendant for Mrs. Place, who will
adjust the electrOde at the leg and q
limited number of newspaper men, pos
sibly but two. The warden has secured
a woman who will attend Mrs. Place as
she is strapped in the chair.
The removal of hair from the back Of
the woman's head where the electrode
must be placed will probably not be
done until everything is prepared for
the execution and just before she is ta-
ken from her cell to the execution

CENSORSHIP AT LAKE CITY
Established Over Trains, Mails and
TelegramS.

Lake City, Colo, March 1s.-A censor
ship over kilograms, trains and United
States mail has been established at
Lake City.
The United States mail was tied up
at Sapinero for twelve hours. On the
train was DR.. Cuneo, the Italian consul,
who was acting under instructions not
only of the legation at Washington but
on direct cable adviceS from Baron
Fava. DR.. CuneO'S kilograms were
withheld, the censor explains, only un-
til they could be translated by an out
slider who thus became aware of their
contents before the consul himself.
The state military authorities disclaim
all responsibility in the matter. DR..
Cuneo telegraphed the Rocky Mountain
News regarding the affair: IT must re-
fer this to the honorable United States
government through his excellency the
plenipotentiary of the king of Italy"

The money required. therefore, for
the &C ming fiscal year was 1850, 900,
aud the total under the shipbuilding
vote, including the liabilities for last
years original and supplementary pro-
grams. would be f12,S17, 900, an in
crease of over e, 900 600 The total es-
Inmates were f26, 594 900.
For armament Mr.. Goschen asked an
increase of f161, 900, chiefly for the con-
structioE Of guns, but also for more
ammunition for practice, which he as
serted was d matter of enormous i'm
portarce, as shown by the late war.
After speaking of the necessity for
an increased shipbuilding vote, he said
these We're the votes required by the
present situation. But" he added,
would that the action of other ma
tions, recognizing the coming in
ternational conference, could make it
possible for US to diminish or modify
the program, while of course maintain
ing our standard and relative position.
Mr.. Goschen then announced in be-
half of her majesty's government that
if the other great naval Powers were
prepared to diminish their programs,
Great Britain was prepared to modify
HtlS. bul IL the CZdT > desires were hot
realized, the program would have to
stand. and he (Mr. Goschen) expressed
the hope that those who were propos
ing to attack the country's expenditure
would not attempt to dissuade the peo-
pie from bearing the taxation necessary
to carry on the duties of the empire.
In conclusion, the First Lord of the
Admiralty said the estimates We're
simply the embodiment of the feel
ings of a peace-loving determined ma
ton
Mr.. Goschen emphasized the purely
defensive objects of the naval increase,
but said that in view of the construc-
ton by her rivals Of faster cruisers,
with the avowed purpose of preying up
on British commerce and Great Brit
aims food supply in the event of war,
England was forced to build five new
cruisers, particularly swift, in order to
circumvent those schemes. He also
said that the four armored cruisers now
being built under the original program
would be the most powerful ships In the
world
