A BIG ROW.
Governor Roosevelt and the
Dewey Day Committee
Clash Over the g. A. r. Posi-
ti0n In Parade.
THE GOVERNOR WIRES
To Let the Grand Army Have
What 1t Wants.
Guggenheimer Says the Execu'
tive's Action Is Impudent
And UnWarranted Interference
In Affairs of Others.

New York, Sept 22.-MajOr General
Roe who will command the National
Guard of New York state in the Dewey
land parade, received a telegram from
Governor Roosevelt today directing him
to give the c. A r. the choice of any
place in the parade. Immediately on
receiving the telegram, General Roe
had a conference with Mayor Van
Wyck and then Chairman Guggen-
heimer of the plan and scope commit
tee which has charge of the parade,
was notified of the governors dispatch.
After pointing out that his committee
alone had the right to assign places in
the line of march, Mr.. Guggenheimer
said of the governors action;
1T is peculiarly ROoseveltian- It is
most impudent, unjustified and unwar-
ranted interference in a matter that
is without his province I do not be-
l1eve, however, that our committee will
take any notice of it
Gen. Roe declined to discuss the ac-
ton of Governor Roosevelt in advance
of the action of the plan and scope
committee.
SENDS MORE TELEGRAN1S.
Utica, N. Y, Sept. 22.-Gov. Roosevelt
who is now here was shown dispatch
from Gen. Roe to the effect that he had
not heard from the governor regarding
the G. A r. in the Dewey parade in
New York. The governor said:
There is some apprehension and
am utterly unable to understand it.
Both kilograms have been sent and 1
have directed that the veterans receive
the right of line''t
= The governor then dictated other tele-
grams concerning the matter and said
that it should be straightened out.

make the regiments arrival here a his
torical day. The press of Kansas, gem
orally, is now speaking. of the reception
editorially, and great things are eX
pected of the capital city. In an edi-
torial comment on the welcome that
awaits the Kansas soldiers, the Hutch
inson News recently said:
Every station along the line from
Coolidge to Topeka should be the scene
of a demonstrate and at the capital
of the state the climax of enthusiasm
can be put on with a mansard roof"
Mr. p. !. BOnebrake, who is a mem
Der of the executive committee in
charge of the reception, and the local
committee as well. thinks the soldiers
should be kept together from the time
they arrive in Topeka until after the
ceremonies and banquet are over. Mr..
Bonebrake said today:
If the regiment is allowed to break
before the ceremonies and banquet take
place, the plans will be spoiled. A space
large enough for the entire regiment
to form for parade should be kept clear
in the vicinity of the depot, and for this
work the services of the Kansas militia
companies should be secured. The reg
iment could then march from the depot
to the state house by whatever route
was planned, and there the governor
should receive the regimental flags pre-
Sented the regiment before 1t left To-
peka. This would mean a speech from
Col. Metcalf and Governor Stanley. The
banquet should follow, and at the close
OF the banquet the presentation or Gen.
Funston's sword could be made. After
the banquet the boys should be allowed
to do as they please until the opening of
the festivities on the avenue in the
evening. During the afternoon as much
entertainment of various kinds it is
possible to arrange should be provided
for them"
It is Mr.. Bonebrake's idea to have the
regiment arrive here about 10 O'Clock
in the morning. General Passenger
Agent Black of the Santa Fe says that
the time of arrival in Topeka can be
fixed to suit any arrangements that are

KNOCKED HIM DOWN.
Cy Leland Furnishes a Vicious
Corn ThrOwer.

Cyrus Leland has never been known
as a fighting man. but at Atchison yes
terday he demonstrated his ability to
use his strong right arm in knocking
a man down. doing it with as much ease
and as little concern as he would mani
fest in using pencil in the same hand
to out line a campaign.
Mr.. Leland went to the corn carnival
with his daughters. The party left the
ters stepped to the platform q strong
d handful of corn into the young lady's
face. The young man had used much
violence in throwing the corn and it left
red bruises on the young wOman's
cheek.
The offender was guffawing with
pleasure at the discontinue he had
caused, but his truth was but tempo
rary. Mr.. Leland looked at him and
The offender recovered his eqUilib-
rum and said to Mr.. Leland, in a half
hearted way:
You mustn't do that here Corn
throwing goes today"
L have no objections to the corn
throwing, but it must be done in rea-
sonable manner. You We're violent and
injured the young woman. Should it
occur again 1 will use you up in good
style
The offender departed while the
crowd cheered and Leland's friends
thronged about him to congratulate
him.

Thousands WOrshipped at His
Sacred Shrine.
A GLORIOUS SUCCESS.
AtchisOn Fairly Outshone All
Former Efforts.
Thirteen Coach Loads of TOpe-

GLORIOUS SUCCESS.

If a steam roller were to traverse the
streets of Atchison this morning the
cutters would run with corn juice.
The fourth annual Corn Carnival is
over. The people who were there and
who We're bombarded by grains of corn
are certain that just one half of the
100000. 900 bushels of corn raised in
Kansas this year was thrown away
during the festivities. There was corn
for everybody and in more shapes than
one. There was straight corn, parched
corn, pop corn and whisky that was not
corn at all. There We're corn cob pipes
and corn cure. The restaurants served
cOrn-fed beef. corn fritters, corn cakes,
corn coup. corn bread and corned beef.

these lines have been considered and
more definite arrangements will be
made when the official announcement
is received as to President Diaz's in

notification of the presidents plans, but
it is expected that it will be at hand

bassador is now on his way here from
Manchester -by-the-Sea, and on the re-
ceipt Of the notification he win proceed
in person to Chicago to deliver it to the

MINES OF THE TRANsvAAL.
Dir. Haumond'- Views ON the EHeci
of the Var.

of the Var.
NEW YORK. Dec. 28.-John Hays Ham
mond. the American mining engineer. in
an interview with the representative OF
the Engineering Magazine" has dealt
with the Industrial situation In South
Africa, and the effect of the present war
upon 1t. The article explains how. from
the Uitlander point of view. it Is expected
that the mining industries OF the Rand
will be bettered by the establishment
OF a new government In the Transvaai
Mr.. Hammond argues that the situation
affects the whole OF tine civilized World,
for the reason that in 1888 the witwaters-
rand fields alone contributed 25 12 per
cent OF the gold product Of the globe. and
within five years they will reach s36. .oG0 600,
which will be more than double the output
OF that year.
Mr.. Hammond does not think that any
destruction of the equipment in mines will
receive oficisi Boer sanction. Contrary to
the generally received opinion. British in
terests are in a minority in the ownership
Of the mines, the majority OF the shares
being held In Germany, France. and other
European countries. and should the Ge-
neya convention exer use little in'.u; nee
upon the conduct OF the Transvaal officials.
the large neutral interests involved would
deter the heads Of the government from
directing or sanctioning any wrecking OF
property or plant. But the young Boer
partisans are hardly likely to weigh very
accurately proportiOnate ownership or the
III hair ffCF
feeling on the nearest tangible object idei-
tified, in their minds. with their enemies,
and no great confidence can be fe.t, there
fore, that the heads Of the government;
will be able even II desirous, to protect
the mine property from injury. Who,e-
sale destruction is not to be apprehendet,
but more or less vandalism of cesui-
tory character is. For the present. it is
likely that some of the mines. though
only few. will be worked for the gold
needed by The Boer government. but no
attention to maintenance or repairs can be
expected it will, beyond question, be
systematic robbing of the mine, and driy-
ing of the machinery TO death.
The mines themselyes-the underground
workings-are, OF course, not much sub
iect 10 damage They will remain, AMI
will be reopened and eventually worked
under a better order OF things than any
that has heretofore existed.
While il is TO be regretted that the de-
sired economic reforms coulC not have
been attained by peaceful means. there can
be no doubt in Mr.. Hammond's opinion
that having regard 10 the financial as
pect, 1.-THE drastic measures finally adopted
will be ultimately of far greater bz1eh-
to the mining industry OF South Aiica
than the economic reforms which other

The Princes Of Wales.
Erom the Chicago News.l

There have been sixteen predecessors Of the
present Prince OF Wales, and OF these only ten
assembled the throne. TIE present prince is only
one OF six who passed the age of fifty. He has
held the title the longest OF any, having been
twenty five when me was gazetted to it. The
Prince of Wales is created" The title was
originally granted by Edward l TO his eldest
son ''and his heirs. the Kings of England" so
each Prince of Wales retains the title after
mounting the throne until he divests himself of
it by formally passing it along to his her-ap-
parent. Never has the tile been bestowed upon
anyone except the eldest living son of the SOW
creign except in the case of George H. who re-
ceived it the eldest son Of deceased Prince of
Wales and heir-apparent- The present holder
OF the title is a knight Of all the great orders
of Europe. He usually wears the insignia of the
Garter. Predecessors Of the Prince of Wales did
not form a prosperous line. Edward ii. the first,
