CAN'T SEND THEM NOW.
Return of Dead From Manila Must
Await Cooler Weather.

Washington, April 1.-Adjutant Gen
eral COrbin yesterday cabled Gen. Otis
saying that the secretary of war de-
sired if possible that the dead of the
present campaign be returned to the
United States on the early transports
and asked the opinion of the general on
the subject.
Gen. Otis cabled today that it would
be impossible to send the bodies home
now. The climatic changes are such as
to make it dangerous to the health of
the people who handle the bodies. He
was of the opinion that six months
later the remains of the dead could be
returned to the United States.
Gen. Corbin replied to Gen. Otis, di-
recting that no further effort be made
at present to ship the remains of the
soldiers to the United States. He told
Gen. Otis that the acting secretary of
war desired that not only the graves
of the soldiers buried in Manila be
plainly designated, but that each casket
should also be carefully marked so
there will be no question of Identifying
the dead when the remains are removed
to this country. With this care, it is be-
lieved that there will be but very few
unknown dead to be returned. Many
anxious relatives have asked the war
department if the dead soldiers were to
be sent home, and these inquiries re-
suited in conSidera BILE correspondence.

THE MILLS FAMILY IDEA.
Their Conception of Charity Is of the
Kind That Will Not Breed a
Feeling of Dependency.

New York, April I'm philanthropi-
cal real estate investments, Ogden
Mills is following in the footsteps of his
father, d. Q. Mills. He has plans I'M
der way for an important Improvement
suggested to him by the two Mills hotel
projects created and successfully devel-
oped by the elder Mills.
The scion of this philanthropical fam
lily, in connection with Ernst FIagg has
purchased a large tract at FOrty-firSt
street, FOrty-secOnd street and Tenth
avenue, which they intend to improve
by the erection of a group of improved
dwellings for the poor. Mr.. Flagg who
drew the plans for Mills hotel No. l
and Mills hotel No 2, is now at work
on the plans for the dwellings,. The idea
is to furnish living apartments for poor
families at the very lowest rental posi-
bic, at the same time guaranteeing n
sufficient profit to pay about per cent,
the profit now resulting from the Mills
hotel investments. Mr.. Mills says he
out charity to people able to do without
ing should be reduced to the minimum
it can be done without any suspicion of
charity. The dwellings will have every
modern Improvement found in up-to-
date flats. One thing is certain: The
Mills family have the right idea of
charity, as the results attained by the
Mills hotels show. This latest venture
will, no doubt, prove even more popular,
in that it will give homes to the deserV-
ing of both sexes without that feeling of
dependency which usually exists when
charity is accepted.

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.
The Mills Dry Goods Company
Formed.

The Mills-Adams Dry Goods company
has been dissolved. Chas. Adams has
rendered his resignation vice presi-
dent and director in the company and
retired from the firm today. Hereafter
the business will be conducted by w.
w. Mills and the firm will be known as
The Mills Dry Goods company. This is
one of the oldest and most substantial
firms in the city and has always done
a large business. Mr.. w. w. Mills has
been identified with the firm through
its entire history.
Mr.. Adams said today in regard to his
future plans that the first thing he
would do would be to take a much need
ed rest of several months; that after
that he would probably re-enter the dry
goods business in Topeka. Mr.. Adams
has been actively engaged in the dry
goods business in this city for "a years
and this is the first time he has taken
a rest. The employees of the company
presented him with a complete set of
James Whitcomb Riley's poems, 9
volumes, and accompanied the remem-
brance with the following letter, both of
which Mr. Adams prizes very highly:
Dear Mr.. Adams: Will you kindly
accept these volumes in behalf of your
friends and salespeople, and may they
afford you as much pleasure as it does
US in giving them to one with whom
we have been so pleasantly associated.
May they be a pleasant remembrance
in your future success. With our best
wishes, we are

Catholics to Build Charitable Insti-
tuition at Leavenworth.

LeavenwOrth, April 1.-Leavenworth is
soon to have a colored orphan asylum
that will be a credit to the city and a
lasting monument to the charity and
humane work of those founding it. The
proposed building is to cost $4,000 and
Will be built by the Catholic church of
this city.
This asylum is to be erected for the
exclusive use of colored orphans and
will be under the supervision of the
''Oblate Sisters of Providence" This
order now has an asylum in this city,
which is located on PottaWatomie
street, between Sixth and Seventh
streets, and of which the Rev. Father
Shorter is rector. At present the asy-
lum affords shelter to between 40 and 80
colored orphans who are provided with
the comforts of d home and given an
education. The crowded condition Of
the institution coupled with a desire to
extend its sphere of usefulness has been
the main factor in forming the resolu-
ton to build a new home.

GETS THE b. & N. w.
Santa Fe Pays $4,000 Per Mile For
the Line From Burlingame
to Alma

The Santa Fe Railway company today
acquired the Burlingame & Northwest
ern road, running from Burlingame to
Alma a distance of 80 miles. Negotia-
tons pending for some time were closed
today and the road became a part of
the Santa Fe road proper.
The Burlingame & Northwestern road
was the reorganized Manhattan, Alma
& Burlingame railway, which originally
ran from Burlingame to Manhattan
The track between Manhattan and AL
ma was torn up by the new company
because the line failed to pay. Consid-
cradle stock business is done on the
line from Burlingame to Alma.
The purchase of the Alma road was
at a cost to the Santa Fe of about $780,
900 per mile.
During its existence the Burlingame
& Northwestern line has been operated
under the direction of Mr.. Howell Jones
of this city.

LIQUOR SALES FOR MARCH.
Drug Store Trade Decreasing at the
Rate of 1000 Sales a Month.

As this is the first day of the month
the druggists of Topeka are filing their
statements of their liquor sales during the
month just closed, with the probate judge.
The conclusion might be drawn from d
glance a the figures that drinking is
growing less in Topeka, and so it is so far
as the drug stores are concerned.
Last September there were over 700
sales of liquor made by the drug stores of
Topeka. Since then the sales have stead
ily decreased; In January there were 4
lI9 sales, and in February there were 500
less than in January. At 3 o clock this
afternoon about two-thirds of the 30 drug
gists in Topeka that have permits to sell
liquor mad made their statements of sales.
ana the aggregate will probably be 30 or
40 per cent less than last month.
our trade in this line has greatly fallen
off, y said one druggist, "and /, for one, am
glad of it. My list of sales is made up

TRUST DOES IT,
Leavenworth and Topeka Linseed Oil
Plants Close Down.

Leavenworth, April 1.-Leavenworth
mas seen the last of her linseed oil fac
tory in operation. The plant has been
closed down never to reopen and will
be sold to the highest bidder for other
purposes. The linseed oil trust owns the
property and while it is so controlled it
will not be used again.
Ever since the property got into the
hands of the trust 1t was operated at in
terVals and employed about 25 men. An
office was always maintained here but
even this had been closed down and
Mr.. L. L. Roby, the local manager, dis
charged. Similar action has been taken
with reference to the Topeka plant. Mr..
Roby also had charge of the office at
that point.
Mr.. ROby succeeded Mr.. Hirst a year
ago in the local management. Mr. Roby
was notified more than four months
ago that the trust would discontinue op-
Grafton here The plant was construct
ed some years ago and soon after fell
into the hands of a trust. The Leaven-
worth Linseed Oil company has made
more money in the trust than if they
were running independently.

SET HERSELF AFIRE.
Fatal Act of New York Woman At
ter Trying to Hang Her Daughter.

WATERFOWL, n. Y, April Mrs. Geo.
Gates, aged 40, who has been suffering
from mental troubles several months,
went into her cellar about 10 o'clock this
morning, saturated her clothing with
kerosene oil and set fire to herself. She
was literally roasted alive before help
could reach her in response to her
screams of agony. She was taken to the
city hospital. where within an hour she
died after confessing to committing the
crime.
Several weeks ago, while suffering
from a violent and sudden attack of
mania, she attacked her Is year old
daughter Hattie, and, placing a rope
around the girls neck and a table leg,
drew her head to the floor and nearly
strangled her before she could break
away. She then attempted to hang her
self, but was prevented by her husband,
who locked her in a room and nailed up
the windows with boards OF late she
had been less violent, and was no longer
under surveillance. Ill health was the
cause of her attacks of mania
After being confined at hOme, as above
stated, MrS.Gate was committed to the
Ogdensburgh state hospital, but was
released a few weeks ago parole.
This morning before committing the
horrible crime she again made similar
attempt on her daughters life. but the
latter escaped, and fell in faint out
side the house.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Iron Ore Miners Out at Birmingham
Strikes in Michigan.

Atlanta, Ga, April IA special to the
Journal from Birmingham, Ala, says
1000 iron ore miners employed at Fossil,
MuSdoda, Redding, Wade'S Gap and
Alice and the coal n2iS.ers working at
Hargrove and Belle Ellen and Bib
county went out on strike. The cause
of the strike at the ore mines is said to
be inaccuracy in the check system. The
coal miners struck because the day la
borers did not receive the advance ac-
corded the miners on March 1. The
supply of iron ore is cut off by the strike
100 cars a day. The officials of the COM
panies affected decline to give any par
ticulars.
Ishpeming. Mich, April 1-Serious
workers. Several hundred of the lead
ing union men did not go to work to-
day, but gathered to visit the mines
in a body and if possible compel all
non-unionists to join their procession
and enter the union. The mining COM
panies will protect all non-union men
who choose to continue work.
Detroit Mich, April Upwards of
100 employees of the Richmond & Backus
company, stationers and book manufac-
tuners, went out on strike today because
the company announced that the winter
arrangement of working hours would
continue until further notice. According
to the order the total of hours work
per week was unchanged, but the en-
ployeS contend for no work after 1
o'clock Saturdays, which has heretofore
been the practice in summer.
Philadelphia, April 1.-Three thousand
bricklayers, members of the journeymen
bricklayers' union, went on strike in this
city today. The strike grew out of the
failure of the bosses to sign the new
schedule of wages for this year. A new
scale which the journeymen want the
bosses to sign is for 40 cents an hour.
The men are now receiving 3712 an hour
for eight hours a day, and the bosses
agreed to give them 421a cents for eight
hours. Should the strike be of long dur
alton it will seriously handicap building
operations.

PRICE OF DRINKS DOUBLED
By the Action of the Kentucky Whis-
Ky Trust.

Louisville, KY, April 1.-The price
list of the Kentucky Distillers and
Warehouse company just issued, has
caused a furry in whisky. 1t shows
that the company is holding all the
goods at high prices. Prices of some
per cent and a few brands are held for
almost 100 per cent in advance of what
they have been selling for. This means
much to the small drinker. Under the
companys quotation every drink at the
bar will advance about five cents.
The list has been anXiouSly looked for
by the trade for some weeks. Some
dealers think the company has made a
mistake in thus raising its prices. The
matter will unqueStionably result in a
formidable opposition to the company.
Local dealers say the result OF the COM
will deal exclusively with houses out of
the combination. Many of the COM
pany'S brands are so well known, how
ever, that dealers will be compelled to
take them at any price.
1t is learned today that mutual
company of distillers and distributors is
being formed to fight the Kentucky
company James Thompson. of the
firm of James Thompson & Bro, distil-
lers and whisky merchants, is interest
ed in the scheme. Mr.. Thompson stated
to a reporter today that distillery to
the mutual company. He further stated
that the men interested had all the cap
ital they needed.
Two similar companies on a smaller
scale are also being formed. Distilleries
will be put in operation as soon as they
can be built. The dealers claim that
the brands of the Kentucky company
will not affect them. They say any
brand can be given a reputation and
that they have no fears on that score.
