NEW FRENCH CABINET.


/
Paris, June 14.-Irosdcnt Loubct has
conferred with the pIoirnt Of the sen
ate, NJ Fallieres. aul with the president
of the chamber Of deputies, NJ. Deschan-
81, and has impressed them with the
necessity of quickly ending the cabinet
crisis
1t il believed NJ Poincarc, who was
minister of public instruction in the Ri
bot cabinet Of 1893, and who has several
times been Il vice president of the 1nm-
Der, will be- asked to form cubnet 1t
Is understood that he is ready to accept
the task, ald it is even SAID he has al
ready selected cabinet to be composed
as follows:
M. Poncare- Premier and minister Of
public instruction.
M. Delcasse-Mnister of the interior
NJ. Bourgeois Minister of foreign af-
fairs.
NJ. Krantz-Minister of war;
NJ. Rouvier or NJ Delombrc-M mister
of finance.
M. Waldeck Rousseau or NJ. Monis-
Minister of justice.
NJ Minister of commerce.
NJ Sarrien-Minister of public works.
Senator Jean Dupuy- Minister of Ag-
TlculluTe.
NJ. Guillain-Minister of the colonies.
1t was the general opinion that Ircsi-
dent Loubet's task would be very diff
cult unless he had arranged for "A new
ministry in advance, having loreseen the
fall of NJ. Dupuy and his colleagues.
The Moderate organs generally de-
manded a cabinet which would work to-
ward the pacfication of the country.
Among the names mentioned for the flu
ture ministry were NM. Constans. Kou-
vier, Poincare, Waldcck Rousseau, Blis
son and Bourgeois.
The papers severely criticise the minis
teral career of NJ. Dupuy. charging him
with leaning now to one side and now to
another and with betraying all parties,
thus creating universal dissatisfaction.
He was fated. they say. to fall sooner or
later under the contempt excited by his
wavering policy. The Socialists claim
the downfall as the work Of their party.
Most Of the Republican and Radical pa
pers said the crisis would be short.

TOPEKA A HOODOO.
Dave Harvey Says He Gets into
Trouble Every Time He
Comes Here.

Dave Harvey, the young society man,
who is the first Topeka victim of the
hotelkeepers' law which was passed by
the last legislature, was released from
the county jail last night on the pay
nnent of his fine and costs in the case,
amounting in all to about SIS. The fine
itself was only So.
THE way it all came about was this
way" said Mr.. Harvey today. Il went
over to the Union Pacific hotel to stay
all night, and as 1 didn't want some
people to know I was over there I reg
istered under an assumed name. I
didn't have the money to pay for my
lodging in the morning and I told Mr..
Putnam, the landlord, that I would come
back later and settle with him. He got
suspicious of me and in the afternoon
he swore out the warrant for my ar
rest.
IT may have served me right for act
ing as did, but it was rather expensive
as We'll as disagreeable. I have no i'll
feelings toward any one over the mat
ter.
THE reason I had to go to Jail was
whom I knew 1 could get the money to
Pay my fine and costs, SO I had to go to
jail over night. Then yesterday my
friends hunted up my man for me and
got mo cut. have no complaint of the
way they treated me down to the coun-
ty jail-it was all right. Carl Lawson
put me in John Collins cell, and it isn't
very bad place to stay.
The peculiar thing about this whole
trouble is that seem to be hoOdooed
every time I come to Topeka. I am
travelling now and this is the first time
1 have been back here for two years,
but no sooner did I get here than 1 got
into this trouble. 1t is so every time I
come, and for that reason keep away.
When I get to Kansas City and want to
&c to Denver, I go by way of OmaEa
instead of coming through Topeka, al
though I like the place and have lots
of friends here. But just as sure as 1
come here [ am bound to get into trou-

THE WEST INDIAN TRADE

IFrom the Washington Post1
Tt is not at all surprising that enter
prising railroads are improving their ia
cilities for handling the trade of the
West Indies. The time is not far dis
tant when this trade will be an impor-
tent factor in commerce. 1t is already
considerable, but the prospects for the
future are promising enough to invite
the most ample preparations.
Cuba under American rule will easily
become an ever-producing, inexhausti-
BILE garden. A few years of peace, with
labor directed and controlled by Amer
lean brains and capital, will suffice to
bring under successful cultivation vast
tracts of sugar and tobacco lands, while
the raising of fruits and table vegeta-
bles will become an important and re-
munerative industry. We recall. as a
practical illustration, the case of the
Yankee skipper in Jamaica, who, not
so many years ago, began to carry
bananas to Boston in his single schoon-
er and who today is at the head of a
corporation with $50 900, 900 capital and
owning a fleet of twenty-four ocean
steamships. The possibilities of devel-
opment in Cuba and Porto Rico are as
great as in Jamaica and would long ago
have been realized if the conditions of
stable government had been equal.
The preparations which the great
north and south trunk roads are max
ing to meet the increased West Indian
trade must. however be viewed with
anxiety by the southern farmers. The
south is the great kitchen garden of
the United States. In the spring i'm
mense freight trains pass hourly
through Washington on their way north
laden with the products of southern
farms AS the season progresses, water
melons, peaches and other southern
fruits are shipped in immense quaint
ties to northern markets. The trade
IN Strawberries alone amounts to hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars. Now
Strawberries grow in profusion in Cuba
during December and the following win
ter months and could be transported
cheaply to the north, where they would
command fabulous prices. In Cuba
labor is cheap and frosts are unknown
two conditions which are of supreme
advantage The opportunity for gain
at the minimum of risk which is thus
presented will invite capital across the
gulf and the south will suffer.

Cincinnati, June 29.-Fifteen thousand
disappointed people assembled at Saen-

chorus of disgust. No concert was
given. The hall was not completed so
far as the stage and flooring were con-
cerned.
Supervising Architect Ward Baldwin
collapsed when he saw that he could
not keep his promise to have the hall
ready. He is pronounced to be in a
very serious condition from nervous
prostration. But the fact that Architect
Baldwin had broken down and that the
hall could not be occupied were not
made known to the public or press and
the people were allowed to assemble for
an exhibition of worknen clearing out
debris and putting down flooring
The police kept up rope line of pro-
lection, but the crowd broke in and got
in the way of the workmen. There was
an immense crowd as early as p. m.
awaiting admission, and for two hours
there was a very rough house" In
order to make sure of the next an
nom4cement the president and the local
executive board have stated that there
will be no concert till tonight when the
opening programme will be given.

A REGULAR VOLCANO.

Cherryvale, June 29.-To the north
east of this city has been discovered
perhaps the most powerful gas well in
Kansas.
1t has a rock pressure OF nearly 800
pounds and is almost uncomfortable.
1t is a regular volcano, and has as
founded the gas men here as it came
as a surprise, it being an extension of
the gas field far beyond the former
limits. The gas wells of the Edgar
Zinc company extend several miles to
the southwest and the brick plant wells
stretch out to the south, but this new
well is far to the northeast of the city
and practically opens up new field.
Even the best wells here, and the
much advertised big well at lola are
but pigmies beside this monster.

Russell, June 29.-Capt. John ]. john
son, one of the early settlers upon the
Saline river in Russell county, died
Tuesday at Kansas City, and was bur-
led yesterday in the Russell cemetery.
He was 81 years old.
Few men have been better known IN
this section. Capt. Johnson was kel-
tuckian by birth, of slaveholdlng anceS-
try, but by nature he was intensely
democratic and gained his rank in the
Union army in the civil war. Later he
came to this section and followed ranch
ing until his death. An injury to his
leg in youth, aggravated by the hard
ships of army life, produced carries of
the bone. Bad falls in coyote hunting
and from buggy after being disabled
made his trouble worse. For years he
has been a great sufferer in conse-
quence Lately surgeons decided that
an operation was necessary to save his
life. For this he went to Kansas City

subjects at the time of his death. His

DEAN LOWS CIRCUS.
Promises To Treat Topeka to
a Novelty For Benefit Of
Auditorium.

Mr.. Dean Low, president and mana
ger of the Topeka Dramatic club and an
author of several successful short COM
edies, is preparing an original and novel
entertainment for the citizens of Tope-
ka to be given sometime about the first
of September. 1t will be known as
"A Country Circus and as the name
will imply it will be chock full of fun
and a the same time will contain many
scenes of historic interest.
The entertainment will be fOStered by
the commercial club and the proceeds
are to be used to purchase seats for the
auditorium. In all probability it will be
given at the fair grounds, just inside
the gates to the right of the road up the
hill to the exposition building. Tiers
of seats will be arranged on three sides
side will be the circus ring and place for
carrying on the exhibition.
The full program has not been made
up as yet but the different scenes and
features already decided upon are suf-
ficient to provide a suitable and pleas
ing entertainment. 1t will be more than
a circus. Such distinctive features as
wild west scenes, fancy shooting by cow
boys, stage coach hold ups, and an In
dian dance by 80 Indians from the res
ervation will be given. Drills by the
U. S infantry and artillery, and a
composed of the society young men of
Topeka dressed in white trousers, high
boots, red jackets and white helmets.
The bugle boys will take part. A COM
pany of Arabs, composed of representa-
tives from the T. A. A, Y. NJ. c. A,
and the Turner's, dressed in suitable
costumes. will go through fancy drills
and movements. Chariot races and
spectacular scenes will be presented as
a fitting close to the entertainment.

WILL NOT DEPUTIzE THEM.
Sheriff Campbell of Girard Declines to
Help Mine Guards.

Pittsburg, Kan, June 29.-The armed
guards at Yale, in the employ of the
Western Coal and Mining company,
have several times lately made applica-
ton to Sheriff E. T. Campbell of Girard
to deputize them so they can act by au
thority of the state and make their posi-
ton a little safer than that of mere
hlrelings. The sheriff has visited Yale
two or three times and looked the situa-
ton over, and to these requests has in
variably said no.
The men at Yale, except the deputy
marshals. are imported, most of them
coming from Fort Scott. They have
no authority to make arrests or carry
arms and the sheriff does not intend
that they shall have any as far as he is
concerned. He says that he is able to
preserve the peace, and if it should be-
come necessary to appoint deputies
there are plenty of men in Crawford
county he can employ. He does not
find any laWlessness at Yale among
the miners and believes that the situa-
ton has simply settled down to a test
of the opposing forces.
