deal with conditions respecting the

ticularly argued for a formal declara-
ton of peace, which could be had only
by the ratification of the treaty. That
accomplished, he was willing to trust
the American congress and the Amer

periodically with the Philippine is
lands, with full regard to the principles
of our government as set forth in the
constitution, and in the declaration of
independence. Mr.. Clay was inclined
TO the belief that it might be desirable
for congress to make a declaration of
intention regarding the Philippines be-
fore the treaty was ratified. He
strongly opposed expansion, especially
on ground that it would necessitate the
maintenance of a large and expensive
standing army.

TO CONTROL ICE OUTPUT.
Bill Incorporating American Ice Co. In
troduced Into Maine Legislature.

Augusta, Jan. 26.-The introduction of
a bill in the Maine Legislature incorpo-
rating the American Ice Company with
a capital stock of s6O,OOO,OO0, by Repre-
sentative Joseph Manley of this city,
is the outcome of a process of central
ization which has been going on in the
ice business of Maine for the last two
years.
Years ago the ice trade of the Kenne-
bee. Penobscot and other Maine streams
was handled by innumerable concerns.
But of late the small companies have
been rapidly disappearing. Their in
terests have been purchased by the
larger ice corporations of the east, of
which the leaders are the Consolidated
Ice Company of New York and the
Knickerboeker Company. The former
organization has been in control of the
Kennebec field for some time and has
also been making inroads in the bust
ness on the Penobscot 1t is under
stood the American Ice Company is a
union of the Knickerbocker and Union
companies. The incorporators are
Charles A. Blair, Augustus SPRUCE,
Henry Sheppered, j. Henry Sturgis, H.
Al. Heath and F. E. Smith. The bill
introduced by Mr.. Manley permits the
combine to engage in the business of
carrying passengers and freight by
water to and from Maine ports. 1t is
thought the Maine office of the new
company will be located in Augusta,
and it is expected the concern will at
tempt to control both the natural and
artificial ice supply of the Atlantic sea-
board

UNION WITH POTWIN.
PROPOSAL to Make the Suburb Part
of Topeka.

The city of Potwin Place wants to be-
come a part of Topeka At the meeting
of the Topeka city council tonight a
resolution will be introduced inviting
Potwin to become a part of greater To-
peka and it is believed that 1t Will meet
with little opposition.
A few years ago an effort was maze
to amalgamate the two cities AT that
time the Topeka city council refused to
consent to the union because of the in
debtedness of the city of Potwin Place.
Since then this Indebtedness has been
materially reduced and the only OBJ
stacle in the way has apparently peen
removed.
A census is to be taken next year and
Topeka wants to make as good show
ing as possible There is no good reason
why the inhabitants of Potwin should
not be included in Topeka. They are all
business or professional men whose
places of business are located in To-
peka and the suburb is really a part of
Topeka.
Many of the residents of Potwin re-
gard it as foolish to keep up a separate
CITY government and they have been
anxious for years to become a part OF
the city of Topeka. When the census
is taken in 1900 it should be the census
of the greater Topeka.
Making Potwin Place a part of the
city of Topeka is really a very simple
proceeding 1t is only necessary to have
the city council of Topeka pass an or
tinance extending the boundaries to in
clude that suburb. The city of Potw1n
Place would necessarily have to give
its consent and it's government would
have to be disorganized.

Sues For Her Share.

Independence, March "a sensation
al development has just appeared in the
settlement of the Talbot estate, which
has been in court since the death of
J. NJ Talbot, in May. 1896. Talbot was
worth about $4,000, and soon after his
death suits were brought by Anna
Greer and o. A. Lee against the estate
for personal services, and they were
awarded $12, 900. The suits were ap-
pealed to the supreme court, and are
still there. 1t was supposed that all the
rest of the estate would go to the wife
and her son, but Mrs. Laura Bell Vert
has briught suit against the senate. She
claims that she is one of the heirs of
the estate. she having been born in
Ohio before Mr.. and Mrs. Talbot were
married. She asserts that while she is
an iIlegitimate child, that Talbot pub
icly recognized her as his daughter,
and she asks for her share of the es-
tate.

PLEASED WITH wATERwoRKa
Newton Enjoys Experience of Munici-
pal Ownership.

Newton, March 6.-The city of New
ton has now had years experience
with municipal ownership of water
works and is very much pleased with
the outlook. During the past year the
city built several miles of extensions
and made extensive repairs to the plant.
The expenditures exceeded the receipts
$12, 900, but the estimates for this year
show that the city will probably receive
more money from private consumers
than it will cost to operate the plant. In
former years before the city owned the
plant it paid $1,000 a year for fire pro-
lection. This year it will not cost the
city a cent.
But the city will probably in a few
days enter suit against the Sneckner
Contracting company of Chicago for
5000 damages. The Seckner company
built the waterworks. Since the cree
ton of the plant there have been a
number of breakdowns, caused, it is
alleged by the city, by faulty construc
ton. The Sneckner company refused to
make good the broken apparatus and
the city will enter suit to recover dam
ages.

Man Accused of Numbering His
Family at Industry
Recognized and Jailed by the
EmpOria Sheriff.
MADE NO RESISTANCE
Declares He Did Not Know His
Family Was Dead.
Claims His Flight Was Caused
by Money Troubles.

Emporia, March 6.-John Gilbert, OF
Clay county, Kansas, who is thought to
be the murderer of his wife and four
children, was arrested here late yester-
day afternoon by Thomas O'Connor,
sheriff of this county, and is in Jail here
awaiting the arrival of the sheriff Of
Clay county.
Gilbert was on his way to Oklahoma
He had walked from Enterprise, where
he had left his horse. He made no at
tempt to deny his identity or to resist
arrest He was walking up Commercial
street when stopped by the sheriff, and
quietly allowed himself to be diSarmed.
The opinion of all who have seen the
prisoner is that he is insane. He is
willing to talk to anyone and answers
all questions readily. but claims to
know nothing about the murder of his
family or that they were even dead.
When told that his horse had been
found he replied: Has it? 1 left it
because it was mortgaged." He says
he can not sleep. His eyes are blood
shot and swimming in tears. He ate
everything that was given him, as
starving man would.
Gilbert claims to have left home be-
cause everything he had was mortgaged,
and although he had tried day and
night to think of some way to get out
of debt he could find no way to do so.
He had been in debt once before but a
good wheat crop had cleared it all up.
Now he was in debt deeper than ever
and could not get out. He says he had
lain awake night after night worrying
about it.
He said that the family was in good
health when he left. He was very
nervous and seemed afraid that he
would need the protection Of the sheriff.
Before the correspondent left the cell
Gilbert was talking about his trip, and
seemed to have forgotten his family.
His actions and speech are more like
those of an insane man than Grim
inal.
While not admitting his guilt he says
that If he is to be hung he wants to be
hung by the people of Clay county, for
they know him and they know whether
he would kill his family or not.
The murder was one of the most hor-
rible crimes ever perpetrated in the
state, the wife, son and three little
daughters being killed with a hammer.
Their bodies were not discovered for a
couple of days after the awful deed
was done; the murderer has been a
fugitive for six days.

which went through with clause linn

Establishment of a government plant in
case this price is refused, eliminated.
OF course the manufacturers will decline
to make armor plate for $500 a ton, and
the government must then do without
and stop construction of ironclads or

congress meets the urgency will have
become so great that it will be ready
