PALMING WAS GOOD.
Hermann Show Is Not Altogether
Satisfactory.

The palming of Leon Hermann has i'm

terity and his performance is more
smooth and accomplished But only in
tatnment furnished this year be said to
excel that Of the past two seasons On
the whole his programme this year is
the least satisfactory since his appear
ance in this country.
To break his work in magic Hermann
has this year associated with him La
Petite Iona" and the four Luciers. The
former is only ordinary singing soub-
rette and the latter, while entertaining,
are by means extraordinary musical
artists The combined entertainment
provided falls short in comparison to the
features that have heretofore formed a
part of the Hermann programmes.
While Leon Herrmann'S work is prac-
tically all clever, the lack of new mat
erial is noticeable. His one illusion "The
Birth of the Golden Butterfly is minus
considerable illusion and gives no credit
to the perfOrmance.

CAN NOT BE DONE.
Why Soldier Trains Can Not Pass
Through Kansas In Day Time

Because of the agitation by w. z.
eraI Passenger Agent Black of the
Santa Fe this afternoon issued an ul-
timatum. He says the Santa Fe people
will exercise their own discretion in
bringing the regiment through from
San Francisco to Topeka, and that the
trains will positively not pass through
Kansas during the day.
Mr.. Black has good and substantial
reasons for the stand he is taking. The
regiment win have to board the trains
at San Francisco sometime between 10
o'clock in the morning and 4 O'Clock in
the afternoon, as the regular trains
take up later time. This will bring the
trains into Topeka between 6 and 10
o'clock in the morning of the fourth
day, which is the quickest time that
can be made and give the soldiers meals
at the meal stations.
To run the trains through Kansas in
daylight would delay their arrival in
this city until or o'clock in the even
ing, entirely too late for a suitable cele-
bratiOn.
when arrangements were made with
the executive committee" said Mr..
Black this afternoon, 1T was under
stood that we would use our own dis
cretion in bringing the troops in This
we propose to do, and it will be impos-
sible to run the trains through Kansas
in daylight, stopping at the various
stations be cause of the heavy passenger
and freight traffic during the daylight
hours. We don't propose to do it, no
matter how much of roar is made in
the western part of the state.

NO RACE TO-DAY.
All the World May Be Hoary
Ere Americas Cup Is
Lifted.

New York, Oct 1.-THE weather at Z
a. m. today gave promise of another
disappointment for the yachting world
A heavy fog enveloped the upper bay
and only the lightest of westerly airs
was blowing.
Reports from the Associated Press
coast stations early in the day were
decidedly gloomy.
Long Branch at a. m. said the
wind was very light from the west, the
sea smooth and observation only about
one mile; Galilee said observation there
was not over mile with the same wind
and sea conditions; Sandy Hook report
ed the wind west, between four and hVe
miles an hour, with sea smcnth; at 1880
a. m. the Highlands of Navesink said
observation there was about three
miles, though the weather was fairly
clear to the westward from which di-
rection the wind was blowing at the
rate of about three miles an hour and
Long Beach at 1920 a. m, reported the
westerly wind light sea smooth and
observation about three miles
At S:45 a m. the fog still hung dense
ly over Sandy Hook, but the breeze
held well and seemed to have hauled
slightly more to the north.
AS the sun rose higher, with the help
of the northwest breeze, it succeeded in
driving part of the mist off shore so
that at o'clock both yachts could be
dimly seen from the Highlands. At
that time both were prepared to start
for the lightship. The breeze held well
for the north, northwest, and While not
blowing more than three or four knots
an hour, showed little signs of decreas-
ing
At O'Clock one of the yachts, ap-
parently the Columbia, could be seen
leaving her moorings for the start in
tow of a tug with the Shamrock astern,
also in tow.
RACE PROBABLY OFF.
Mackay Bennett Gable Boat, u:35
a. m.-Apparently a conference being
held on committee boat
New York, Oct. 12.-12:O6 p. m.-The
yacht race is off for today.

BOUGHT BY SANTA FE.
Sale of LeayOnWOrth Branch
May Mean Suspension of
Operation.

Mr.. Edward Wilder, treasurer of the
Santa Fe, this morning bought IN the
LeaVenWOrth, Topeka & Southwestern
railway at foreclosure sale for 500, 000-
The sale took place at Oskaloosa,
Hiram p. Dillon acting as master in
chancery. Besides Mr.. Wilder and Mr..
Dillon the sale was attended by Mr.. w.
H ROSSingtOn, representing the truS
tees of the mortgage bonds, and Mr..
Robert Dunlap. representing the santa
Fe legal department The party lett
Topeka on a special train this morning
and returned at noon.
The sale was made to Mr.. Wilder per-
sonally, and not to the Santa Fe COM
pany. In purchasing it he acted in ac-
cOrdance with the wishes of the Santa
Fe management, but says he does not
know what will ultimately be done with
the line. This win be decided by the
time the sale is confirmed and the deed
ready. probably within the next week.
The mortgages under which the road
was sold amount to 81 .380, 900. For the
past five years the road has been in the
hands of Mr. c. T Mcclellan as receiV-
er, and he has repeatedly been compell-
ed to borrow money under an order or
the court to pay operating expenses.
The LeaYenWOrth, Topeka & South
western has never been a paying line.
Notwithstanding this fact, however, it
is understood that it is not the purpose
to abandon it and tear up the track
Neither is it understood to be the pur-
pose of the Santa F'e to operate it. It's
disposition is as yet largely matter
of conjecture.
Some time ago there was a rumor
that the Maple Leaf road might buy in
the line, giving that road an entrance
into Topeka from LeaVenworth. The
rumOr seems to have died a natural
death, however, and the Maple Leaf peo-
pie have now probably no idea of taking
the line.
The road was purchased by Mr.. Will
der with ten $4,000 National Bank
checks

oo1L1DED IN THE FOG.
Steamer With Sir Thomas Lipton's
Guests on Board Bumps into
q FerrybOat-

New York, Oct. 12.-The steamer Vim.
Fletcher with guests of Sir Thomas
Upton on board. cOllided in the fog
with the ferryboat West Brooklyn just
off Governors island soon after 8
o'clock this morning. Both boats sus-
tanned considerable injury as the
Fletcher struck bow on, carrying away
her nose and making a big hole in the
ferry boats port side above the water
line.
The Fletcher returned. to the barge
office and landed her passengers. There
was some excitement on board both,
but no one sustained injury.
The passengers of the Fletcher were
transformed to the tug E. S. Atwood
and in about half an hour left for Sandy
Hook to board the Erin. The ferryboat
was taken to her slip at South Ferry by
a tug boat.

WILL KEEP
HANDS OFF.
President Mckinley Will Not
Meddle In Any Way
In the Affair Between England
and the Beers.
HAS MANY PETITIONS.
Some Want Him to Mediate !;
Others to Take Sides.
Some Favor One Party and Some
the Other.
HAS MANY PETITIONS.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE following
statement was issued by the state de-
partment today:
''The president has received a large
number of petitions signed by many
citizens of distinction, requesting MN
to tender the mediation Of the United
States to settle the differences existing
between the government of Great Brit
ain and that of the Transvaal. He has
received other petitions on the same
subject, some of them desiring him TO
make common cause with Great Brit
ain to redress the wrongs alleged TO
have been suffered by the Outlanders
and especially by American citizens IN
the Transvaal and other writing him TO
assist the Beers against alleged aggres-
sion.
1T is understood the president does
not think it expedient to take action IN
any of these directions. As to taxing
sides with either party to the dispute, II
is not to be thought Of As to medla-
ton the president has received no IN
timatiOn from either of the countries
that the mediation of the United states
would be accepted and in the absence
of such intimatiOn from both parties,
there is nothing in the rules of inter
national usage to Justify an ofIer OF
mediation in the present circumst
It is known that the president sincerely
hopes and desires that hOstilitieS may
be avoided; but if unfortunately Ihey
should come to pass, the efforts of this
government VIII be dfrected-as they
are at present-tO seeing that neither
our national interests nor those of our
citizens shall suffer unnecessary in
iury."

WELCOME HOME.

United States. I do not permit myself
to doubt That they will prove a rich
and invaluable heritage feel assured
That congress will provide for them a
government w hich will bring them bless
ings, which will promote their material
interests as well as advance their peO-

of liberty, regulated by law, honestly
administered without depressing or ex-
acting taxation without tyranny, JUS
tice without bribe, education without
distinction of social conditions, free
dom of religious worship and protection
in life liberty and the pursuit of happi-
