WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-In the alb
sence Of a formal complaint, the state
department officials do not care to ex-
press a specific opinion in the case of
the reported seizures Of American -four
by British cruisers off the South Afri-
can coast, under suspicion that it was
intended for the Transvaal. But under
the general rule adopted by our govern
ment, and adhered to by most Of the
civilized governments, merchandise of
this description sent by n nation to
another. as in the case Of the United
States and Portugal, is absolutely ex-
empt from seizure.

ALL WILL HELP.
Labor Organizations Asked to
Assist In Entertaining
Kansas Soldiers.

The finance committee for the Twen-
tieth Kansas reception has instructed
Major Anderson to send out to the var
ious labor and fraternal organizations
subscription lists on which members OF
these various bodies may subscribe
small sums for the entertainment of the
Twentieth.
This movement was taken as a result
of the suggestion that some provision
ought to be made whereby the sub
scription would be a popular one,
that is, whereby every one would be
given a chance to subscribe. There are
a great many people in the city whom
the finance committee could never see
who would nevertheless be glad of an
opportunity to have a part in the en-
tertainment of the brave Kansas boys.
The amounts which they would contrd-
butte might not be large in many in
stances, but they would assist.
Major Anderson will have to prepare
about a hundred subscription lists and
write nearly a. hundred letters for TINS
purpose. Today letters and lists were
sent to the following labor organiza-
tions:
Brick Layers and Stone Masons' un-
Building Laborers' International Pro-
tectiVe union No. 2.
Cigar Makers union No. S6.
Mechanics union.
Painters and Paperhangers' union
No. 1.

FELL FROM A TRAIN.
Miss Viola Gray Mirac ulOusIy
Escapes Instant Death.

Miss Viola Gray, young lady whose
home has been in Hutchinson, either fell
or jumped from the platform Of one of
the cars of the Santa Fe eastbound fast
mail train Monday night between Neva
station and Strong City. The train was
stopped and she was picked up in an un-
conscious condition and taken into
Strong City 1t is thought that she is
seriously injured.
Miss Gray left Wichita Monday after
noon and went to Newton, where she
boarded the fast mail for Kansas City.
Soon after the train left Newton, she
walked out on the platform of the car
and stood there. The conductor warned
her that it was dangerous to stand on
the platform, as a sudden lurch Of the
train might throw her off. To this
warning she replied, ''I don't care if I
do fall off,
The young woman persisted in stand
ing on the platform, and shortly after
the train passed Neva station, two
miles west of Strong City, she was seen
to fall to one side of the track. Whether
the fall was accidental or intentional is
not known, but it is suspected that it
was not an accident The train was
running at a high rate of speed, and it
is almost miraculous that she escaped
death.
The mother of the young woman,
Mrs. Walton, lives at the Brunswick
hotel in Hutchinson.
Later, ord was received at the
Santa Fe general offices in this city
this afternoon that Miss Viola Gray
died in Strong City this morning. She
never regained consciousness from the
time she was picked up by the side Of
the track to cne time of her death.
Miss Shumate, a young lady who
started with the Gray girl from Wich-
ita, was in Topeka today, and stated
that she understood the latter to have
had trouble with her mother. She says
both were on their way to Kansas City
to look for work Miss Shumate went
to Kansas City this afternoon.
Miss Gray had been living with her
mother at the Brunswick hotel in
Hutchinson until recently, when she
went to Wichita.

GOLD THE MAIN FEATURE.
Outline of the Republican Financial
Policy.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 10.-Accord-
ing to a prominent member of the SEN
ate the financial policy of that body,
which it is believed the house will ac-
cept, has been generally agreed on by
leading Republicans. The radical es-
tablishment of the gold standard is the
principal feature, and it is believed the
house will acquiesce. An outline OF the
whole policy is as follows:
First-Principal and interest of gov
ernment bonds to be paid in gold at op-
tiOn of holder.
Second-The national debt to be re-
funded into bonds carrying not over
Third-National banks to be permit
ted to issue notes to the par value OF
bonds deposited
Observation-Disclosures of the minimum
capital of national banks to $4,000 in
small towns.
Fifth-Reduction of the tax on circu-
lation at least to One-fourth and pos
sibly to one-eighth per cent.
Sixth-Making the treasury a gold
depository by authorizing gold certii-
Gates of five, ten and twenty dollars,
corresponding to the coins themselves.
Seventh-Conversion of silver certif-
Gates into denominations of one, two,
and five dollars.
Eighth-Restriction of national bank
notes to denominations of $40 and up
wards.
Ninth-Segregation of a limited gold
reserve either coin or notes exchanged
for coin, to be exempt from use for cur
rent expenses.
Tenth-Low rate short time bonds or
interest-bearing certificates of indebt-
edness to be authorized specifically to
meet future deficits.
Most if not all these propositions are
likely to be included in the new cur
rency bill. The radical establishment
of the gold standard to cover all bonds
and notes is favored by many senators
and members, but the more cOnserva-
tive believe it would be a dangerous
burden to pledge the government at
this time to redeem in gold half a bill
lion of silver, or half as much as the
entire bonded debt.
The conservative element will content
itself with writing into the bonded Sc
curities a gold payment provision, thus
making the credit of the government
so secure that gold can be readily Sc
cured at any time. They assume that
the silver certificates can be kept in
! circulation exactly like the subsidiary
/ coins, by eliminating all large denom-
! nations. The element of elasticity,
/ they assert, will be furnished by the
/ gold itself, which will flow into or out
/ of the treasury according to varying
] trade conditions.

AT LAST. AT LAsTi
Crook Wright Is Really Breaking
Rock For the County.

Crook Wright is pounding rock. This
is a new experience for him, but he
has plenty of company and appears to
be doing as good a job at it as any of the
other prisoners in the county jail.
Crook was re-arrested Monday after
noon by order the county commission
ers to work out his fine for selling
liquor. 1t will be remembered that he
was released from jail about threO
months ago on condition that he would
behave himself and pay his fine in
monthly installments. A protest
against such action went up at the
time but the order was allowed to
stand, although it was prophesied that
Wright would be arrested again within
three months.
He has been arrested twice in that
time, and there is now hanging over
him the suspicion that a murder has
been committed in his dive. He has not
kept up the installments on his fines,
and the commissioners concluded at
last that it was time to have him in
jail again.
Wright is anxious to have the public
understand that his arrest is on the old
charge and that it has nothing to do
with the supposed murder. He fears
mob vengeance if he should be con-
nected with a murder in any way.

Fusion Nominee For Judge Will Prob

Marshall Gephart, fusion nominee for
Judge in the Thirty-sixth judicial dis
trict, is in Topeka today on legal busi-
ness. While Mr.. Gephart refuses to
discuss the judicial situation, he admits
that he feels considerable confidence as
a result of the division of the Republi-
can party in that district. Both Judge
Charles F. Johnson and Frank Hurren
viii make the race for the judgeship on
the Republican ticket.
The campaign in the Thirty-sixth dis
trict will commence in earnest within
the next week. All three of the candi-
dates have done more or less skirmish
work already but now active work will
be taken up. With both the PopuliStS
and Democrats of the district behind
him and the Republican forces divided,
Gephart's stands an excellent chance Of
