Unexpected Attack.
New York, Oct PA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The sailing OF the channel squadron to
day from Gibraltar is now regarded by the
keenest observers as an indication that
some unexpected attack upon British IN
terests is possible. The magnitude of the
preparations for the war, which are out Of
all proportion to the requirements OF the
military situation, can be adequately eN-
planned only on the theory that the gov
eminent suspected that some great power
would be tempted to seize the opportunity
for striking sudden blow or carrying
out a deeply cherished policy.
The quarter from which an attack of
this kind may come is unmistakable. The
Russian press has had license to criucise
the English policy in South Africa i'll the
most acrid way and rumor that Herat
may be occupied is already in the air,
British commercial interests in Persia are
SO large that Russian seizure of the
commanding position in western Afghan

The chairman introduced Mr.. Bel
mont, who was received with hearty
applause. He said in part:
THE Democratic party today holds
a great responsibility toward the peo-
pie 1t remains with it to decide wheth-
er existing conditions shall continue or
not. The party has never been given
greater opportunity to vindicate its
claim that it is the party that stands
for the government by the people and
for the people, with equal rights to all
and special privileges to none.
THE responsibility of the Democratic
party is doubled from the fact that if
it fails to GUST the enemy in 1900 it
will by so doing give it a long lease of
the seat of government and allow it to
entrench it's position by the intricate
system of patronage.

instantly. Sibley did not fire. SIbley

her to the we'll and dumped her in, head
first. We then built a platform a few
feet below the surface of the ground
and filled it with earth. My mother

Our object was robbery. We thought

RAILROAD NEWS.
The Entire Main Line, From
Chicago to albuquerque,
Of the Santa Fe, to Be Relaid
With New Steel Rails.
ALL WITHIN THE YEAR
Over $50 Miles of Roadbed Will
BE Laid at Once.
The Management to Expend a
Million In the Work.

Two hundred and fifty and one-half
miles of new steel will be laid on the
line of the Santa Fe road proper this
year. Sixty-seven and one-half miles
will be new track, and the remainder
will be used in replacing present track
the main line. By the end of the
year the entire main line of the Santa
Fe from Chicago to Albuquerque will
be practically of new steel.
The estimated cost of relaying track
Is $4,000 per mile, and the average cost
of putting down new track is just dou-
BILE that amount. Consequently the
Santa Fe management will expend in
the neighborhood of a million dollars in
the improvement of track and the con-
struction of new track this year.
Fifty-three miles of the new track
will form the line to be built from Ca
ney in a southeasterly direction through
the Indian Territory. Grading for this
new branch line is now in progress,
and it is expected that work on the
track will be commenced by the middle
of May. Twelve miles will close the
gap in the double track between EN-
poria and Florence. Two and one-half
miles will be laid as a short second
track from ottawa east.
The distribution of the new steel to
be used in replacing present track will
be as follows:
Eastern division-Thirty miles on the
Emporia branch, between Olathe and
EmpOria junction Five miles between
Carbonate and Scranton.
Middle division-Five miles between
Strong City and Neva. Seven miles be-
tween Newton and Ha1stead.
Western division-Thirty-on miles
from Lamar, Col, west.
New Mexico division-One hundred
and five miles distributed at various To-
cations between La Junta and A1bu-
querque.
The relaying of track on the New
Mexico division has already com
menced. Grading for the remainder of
the double track between EmpOria and
Florence and the new second track out
of Ottawa east has been completed,
and the laying of steel will be COM
menced within a short time. Work on
the middle and western divisions will
be taken UP early next month.

THERE WERE TWO MURPHYs.
Failure to Be Explicit Gives Birth to
Criminal Libel Suit

Fort Scott, April pa warrant will
be issued from the city court today for
the arrest of Joseph Burton, editor of
the Fort Scott Lantern, charging him
with criminally libeling T. Murphy, a
chicken dealer of this city.
Mr.. Burton was formerly a professor
in the normal college here. The Lantern
is one of the leading Populist weeklies
of the state. The editor recently lost
the last of his bloeded chickens at the
hands of thieves, and he published an
sfonaI chicken thieves be run out of
town. In this article he referred to a
man who he said was known as Chick
enthief Murphy" No initials were
stated, but T. Murphy interprets 1T to
mean him. The county attorney gave
Mr. Burton an opportunity to explain in
today's edition that the article did not
refer to T. Murphy, and upon his fail
ure to do so, Murphy was promised a
complaint. Burton says he will never
retract.

simple, or whether it will be that or
SO, modified or added to.
THE Republicans, as expressed by
this administration, stand for trusts,
monopolies and concentrated wealth
and Imperialism, and to all of these
things I hold Democracy is opposed.
Il am not opposed to wealth-no one
would believe it if I pretended to be
but am opposed to trusts and monop-
olies, because 1 consider they interfere
with individual effort, which has made
the American citizen what he is, free
and Independent man. L deny in every
way the idea that the Democratic party
is opposed to wealth as our Republican
friends pretend. Wealth is as safe in
Democratic hands is it is in Republican
hands, but the right of the individual
to acquire twill be safer under a Demo-
cratic administration"
Justice Titus paid a high tribute to
Colonel Bryan who was received with
tremendous cheering.
Mr.. Bryan said that he had been
accused of not having worldly goods
sufficient to make him a safe custodian
of property, but that he was glad that
the one who preceded him (Mr- Bel
mOnt) had enough worldly possessions
to take him out of the ranks of the
anarchists at least
Continuing, Mr. Bryan spoke against
expansion, against the taxing of the
people to maintain a large standing
army and against the manner of rails
ing the war revenue, and closed with
argument for bimetallism. His speech
delivered in New York at the dollar
