RACE WITH A TRAIN.
Team of Horses Runs Up Santa Fe
Tracks at Depot.

There was an exciting run away and
race between a team hitched to a hay
wagon and the Santa Fe plug, Satur-
day night, and as a result, the hay
wagon is good for kindling wood, two
water hydrants opposite the depot are
almost bent to the ground, while an
other is broken entirely off.
Just as the plug was approaching
Fourth street, the team, driven by Ell
mer Burnett, was coming east on
Fourth and was just about to cross
the tracks in front of the approaching
train. The horses were going very fast
and as they saw the engine coming at
them they quickly swung around and
started up the track. Once the front
of the engine struck the wagon and the
horses shyed out into the space be-
tween the tracks in direct line with the
hydrants.
As they passed the first hydrant, the
front axle struck it, bending it and
throwing the young man out, but he
was unframed. The second hydrant
Jared worse and was broken off even
with the ground, while the third was
bent considerably. The wagon was torn
to pieces more and more as each hy-
drant was struck and pieces were dis
tributed all along the tracks. One of
the horses was badly cut about the fore
legs The team ran uD behind the
express office, where the horses were
stopped. The depot platform was lined
with people, who fastened to get out
of the way, as they expected every
minute that the team would turn and
come onto the platform.

LEAYENWORTH RIOT.
General Fight, With Negroes and
Volunteers Pitted Against
Each Other.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. GA riot
between the soldiers of the Thirty-sec-
ond volunteer regiment and North
Leavenworth negroes took place Sun
day afternoon, during which shots were
fired and one man was wounded on
each side.
The soldiers had trouble with a negro
named Alex. Johnson last Sunday, and
when Johnson met a couple of Volun-
teers in a joint near the Fort Leaven-
worth reservation, he renewed hostili-
ties by knocking a soldier down. VOlun-
teers and negroes soon gathered in
force and bricks, stones and guns were
brought into play. The soldiers out
numbered the negroes and ran many Of
them down toward the center of the
city. A strong force of police Quelled
the riot by blocking the street and re-
fusing to allow the soldiers to continue
chasing the negroes. Corp. Johnson, of
the Third battalion, was shot above the
left knee, but will not be permanently
crippled. Alex. Johnson was shot in
the left shoulder and was seriously in
jured. Johnson started a riot a week
ago. He has served a term in the peni-
Tertiary, and has been in several shoot
ing and cutting scrapes.

MAHANNA'S WEAKNESS.
He Is Declared a Habitual Drunkard
In Probate Court

Thomas Manhanna, who lives near
the old starch factory, has been de-
clared a habitual drunkard in probate
court. The complaint against him was
made by Mrs. Thorpe, police matron.
Mahanna is an old soldier who draws a
pension, and it is said that every time
he gets his pension money ne gets on a
spree and abuses his family. He has
been in police court several times for
this offense, but just as soon as he gets
any money the same thing happens
again, and he sometimes nearly kills his
wife and little girl, so the neighbors
say.
Mahanna drew his August pension
money about two weeks ago and start
ed in on a spree as usual The neigh
bOrs made complaint of the way he
treated his family, and the officers be-
gan to watch him. On Friday he at
tackled his wife with a spade and on
Saturday he was arrested and taken
into probate court. A guardian will be
appointed for him and he will be al
lowed his liberty as long as he is quiet,
but if he makes any more violent dem
onstrations he will be confined in the
asylum.

Cape Town, Aug. 21.-The report that
the TransvaaI government had handed
its reply to the British agent at Pre-
torja to be forwarded to Sir Alfred Mil
ner, British high commissioner for
South Africa and governor of Cape
Colony, is confirmed. 1t is believed,
however, that the proposition of Great
Britain for a commission to investigate
the effect which the franchise reform
legislation would have on the Outland
ers has not been accepted but that the
French proposals have been advanced
BRITISH OFFER DECLINED.
London, Aug. 21-The colonial office,
in confirming the dispatch from Cape
Town saying the Transvaal govern
ment had handed its reply to the Brit
ish agent at Pretoria says that Sir AL
fred Miner has telegraphed a message
to that effect. All that the officials of
the colonial Office would say in regard
to the matter was: 1.-The reply is not
a complete acceptance of the proposal
of Mr.. Chamberlain secretary of the
colonies.

Mr.. CHURCH WINS.
COmpels Governor Stanley to
Rescind Road Agent Order.

Mr.. Church is responsible for the
management of the insurance depart
ment and I have nothing to say con-
corning the fees for the examiners"
said Governor Stanley to a Journal re-
porter today. The governor and Mr..
Church had just concluded a confer
ence when the reporter sought to have
the governor say what he expected to
do concerning the fees collected by
Senator Battey for the examination of
the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance
company.
Il am not going to be interviewed"
said the governor. Il have nothing to
say, except that Mr.. Church is respOn-
Sible for the mana cement of the inSur-
ance department"
After the governor and Mr. Church
had concluded their conference a Jour
nal reporter asked Mr.. Church what
would be done with reference to Mr..
Battey'S case.
Mr.. Battey viii not be asked to turn
in the fees he has collected for these
examinations" replied Mr.. Church.
There is no law concerning the work
of the examiners, requiring the money
to be paid into the treasury and Mr..
Battey will not be asked to do SOL
Inc conclusion therefore, is that Mr..
Church told the governor today while
they were in conference that he would
not second the governors demand that
Mr. Battey turn the money in. After
this information had been conveyed to
the governor he withdrew his demands
that Mr.. Battey return the money.
Mr.. Battey who is in the city today
said: 4 will comply with all laws gov
erning the state but I know of no law
requiring the money collected by the
examiners to be turned into the state
treasury
Mr.. Battey was telegraphed a week
ago to come to Topeka and see the
governor and Mr.. Church but he has
been examining an insurance company
time to consider whether he would
turn in the money already collected.
He came to Topeka today, stopping as
he passed through
When Mr.. Rattey landed Church in
the Office OF superintendent of inSur-
ance, the politicians say, it was agreed
that Battey should have the exclusive
privilege of making the examinations
of insurance companies and that when
he needed assistance he should be per-
mitted to name the man who would
work with him. This is cited as one of
the reasons why Mr.. Church would not
accept the governors suggestion and
order Battey to turn in the money he
collected from the Kansas company.
The result of this agitation is the
governor and Mr.. Church have adopted
the policy which the governor so bit
terly condemned in McNau and for
which the governor abused McNan in
the campaign and later removed him
from office.
Now that the governor has decided
to not insist upon his demands that the
money be turned in the POpulist state
committee has taken up the charges
which it was proposed to file against
Mr.. Church, substituting for the name
of McNall that of Mr.. Church in the
charges upon which McNaWs removal
was based.

FEAR OF WAR
Lies More In France Than In the
TransvaaI

New York, Aug. 21-The Times Lon
don financial correspondent cables:
Our monetary position is decidedly
better and until an enforceable change
for the worst comes, no advance in the
Bank of England rate is probable until
well into next month. 1 do not recall
such harmony of action between the
bank and the open market as exists
now.
To attain this rightly the Bank of
England has had to borrow freely, go
ing up to 81 per cent for money into
September. The desired object, how
ever, has been attained. Gold flows in
steadily; foreign exchanges are more
favorable and the bank reserve IS ac-
cOrdinSly strengthened. Next week 1T
promises to be considerably further i'm
proved through the return of holiday
money from circulation, for Bank of
England officials tell me that sovereigns
are now pouring in. Further supplies
of the yellow metal from Germany,
however, are improbable for the pres
ent because the reichs bank must go
to per cent if the drain of its bullion
to England should continue. But we
shall be pretty comfortable now until
autumn demands arise.
This has been the poorest week on
the stock markets for years past, yet
all the departments are wonderfully
strong considering the outlook. Even
Kafhr shares have h1nched but little,
thanks mainly to the marvellous calm
ness in Paris. Malicious minds indeed
declare that one section of the market
lean millionaires sold short to an
enormous extent before the latest row
with Kruger began. There will be no
war, these people declare. The mar
ket bosses do not want war They are
merely manoeuvering for a slump and
the agitation will be kept up until the
slump arrives.
Certainly a bear account of consider
able size does exist, much of it orig
mating in Johannesburg. 1t is true,
likewise, that people as a rule, do not
believe that war is coming. We are
all more concerned about the state of
affairs in France than about the duel
between Dom Paul and Chamberlain
and of the ferment in Paris are read
with far more avidity than the South
African disputes. What alarms US
most is the apparent inability of the
French civil powers to use even the
police to enforce public order. 1t ap-
pears to be surrounded by traitors, and
it is openly said that the assassin of
Labor acted in concert with gen
d'armes. If this is true revolution may
be upon US any day.
Anxiety deepenS hourly in Paris and
under these circumstances you must
not expect US to take a more active
stock markets The shouting goes on,
however, but the public either does
nothing or sells.
Meanwhile industries all flourish
throughout the United Kingdom and
even the harvest is not so much below
the average as was at one time feared
We shall perhaps reap nearly third
of the quantity of wheat required to
feed us for the next twelve months.
