HENDERSON'S REPLY.
Congressman Replies to Capt. Coney's
Criticisms.

When it became reasonably certain
that D. B. Henderson of Iowa, would
be the next speaker of the house, Kan
sas Republicans were pleased that the
honor should come to the west But
when Mr.. Henderson came to the de-
Tense of H. Clay Evans, pension COM
missioner, there were storms of pro-
tests from the Republican old soldiers
in the state. Capt. p. H. COney, who
is we'll acquainted with Henderson,
wrote him a scorching letter, calling
him to account for his change of front.
To this letter Henderson has replied
as follows: L have been sore at Evans
chiefly because he refused to reinstate
an old soldier of the Third Iowa infant
ry, who had been chief of a division,
and whose head, I think, was the first
to be taken off by Mr.. HOke Smith. I
stated early my grievance. But I there
showed that eleven old soldiers had
been reinstated as chiefs of divisions,
20 put onto the board of review. &c med
zeal examiners, 139 clerks reinstated, old
soldiers all, and 279 old soldiers promo
ted as clerks, with GA widows and or
phans of old soldiers reinstated or pro-
noted; that there were 1913, 900 drawing
S12 under the act of $780, and that there
had been more pensions allowed last
fiscal year than in any one year since
1893. [ said if these things were true,
as claimed by the pension office, owed
Mr. Evans an apology. and was frank
to make it in the midst of my own per-
sonal friends. This is, in substance,
what I said You know [ do not intend
to hit a man unless 1 know he deserves
it. and I was willing to make admis-
sions to the extent indicated.
1T makes me a little hot for some Of
the bows to claim that my utteranpeS
were made in the hopes of helping me
in the speakership, when the truth is
that when that utterance was made I
had won and the battle was over, and
I had nothing to ask from Mr.. Evans
or the administration, and I never did
ask Mr. Evans to do a single thing
for me excepting to rein4ate an old
soldier as chief of division How any
soldier with ordinary intelligence could
think that I was bidding for something
in what I said to my old comrades at a
camp fire, when I wanted to give them
the truth, is very difficult for me to
comprehend. In great haste, sincerely
yours, D. B. HENDERSON,"

WAR OVER POWDER.
Trust Makes Things Lively by CUT
ting Prices to Miners.

Clinton, Ind, July 3.-War is being
waged between the Indiana Powder
company and the powder trust. It is
just now centered at Clinton, but may
spread unless the Indiana company
gives in, which it promises by no means
to do.
The start of hostihties came with the
competition between the local company
and the trust selling blasting powder
to the mining companies, The trusts
agents have just arrived in town and
are building magazines. 1t is said they
are offering the miners powder at 81 %
a keg-a SO cent cut under the price
the miners pay the coal companies.
The operators have taken a hand in
the fight and are trying to persuade the
miners to use the powder furnished by
their companies. The fight is a three
corfered affair and the miners are di-
vided. The operators threaten to dis
charge the men who patronize the trust.
The real fun will begin when the trust
offers its goods to the miners.

CUT OFF THEIR HEADS.
How Opponents ofProgress Are Dealt
With In Korea.

Tacoma, Wash. July Slate Oriental
advices state that twenty ringIeaders
of the rioters who destroyed and burned
the electric tramway cars at Seoul last
month were executed in public at Kor-
cas- capital four weeks ago They met
their fate bravely. Their heads were
cut off and exhibited in public places as
a warning to all evil doors.
1t was believed that this summary
action would also have important infiu-
ence upon the leaders of the Korean
rebellion which was assuming large
proportions At last accounts the in
surgents were marching toward Seoul
The emperor and his cabinet are
thoroughly alarmed. A late message
states that the government at Seoul has
issued instructions to the garrison of
Kung Ju and Chuu Ju to proceed to
Kofu to suppress the insurrectiOn.
A telegram from Chemulpo says the
japanese charge d'affaires at Seoul has
sent q letter to the Korean government
advising it to abolish the laws for the
punishment of accomplices in treason
cases.
This would alIay the fears of those,
it is alleged, who are being kept in the
insurgent ranks by threats of exposing
them to punishment by the government.

MCCOY IS NOT WELL.
Middle Weight Pugilist Is Bordering
on a State of Extreme Nervous
Debility.

Denver, July 3.-"Kid'' NTcCoy's con-
dition is exciting the liveliest appre-
hension of his friends, who say that he
has developed symptoms that puzzle
them. Since coming to Colorado he is
said to have required the application of
ice to the back of his head to produce
sleep and has given every indication of
restlessness that is supposed to presage
nervous debility.
His conduct in connection with the
articles agreed upon with Choynsk is
not satisfactory to the management of
the Colorado Athletic club and Mana
ger Floto, when asked to explain why
Mccoy failed to keep the date for final
articles, replied that it was due to a
misunderstanding about the time and
that all would be settled tomorrow.
In the meantime Mccoy has gone to
BaiIeys in Platte Canon, where he is
relieved from the flood of Geographic
inquiries that have poured in since the
first note of alarm was sounded. He is
said to be fond of fishing and went after
trout but as the waters of the Platte
are so high that fishing is almost out of
the question, it is believed that he
sought rest which could not be obtained

TRIPLER AIR CHICAGO.
First Bit of the Powerful Liquid
Brought 20 the City.

Chicago, July 3.-The first bit of Trip
ler's liquid air to be brought west of
Philadelphia was in Chicago for a time
yesterday. After a few experiments
and exhibitions before a number of
spectators at the university club evap-
GRAFTON changed the air to it's more
common form.
H. II. Mcclure of the Mcclure COM
pany, on his way west on a business
trip in connection with the 1naga zine,
brought quantity of the substance at
the suggestion of TriDIer, more as an
experiment to ascertain how far it could
be carried and preserved under the
present system of packing. At 5 o'clock
last evening the air arrived and at it
was taken from the wrapping after a
period of about thirty-six hours en-
route. 1t was found that in the glass
tube holding about pint one-third re-
manned. A cherry was dropped into it
and was frozen in a minute. Meanwhile
contact with the warmer substance had
consumed much of the air. A lighted
match was drC pped into it and instantly
a sharp blaze sprung up. The remain
der was poured on to a plate, where it
quickly vanished into common air.
1t is planned to have Tripler come to
Chicago in the fall to lecture and give
experiments. Within a year, according
to Mr.. Mcclure, he plans to build a
plant on the Pacific coast, and within
a short time one may be erected in Chi
cagO.

SPANKING MACHINE.
Police Supt. Sylvester Wants It Intro
duced In Washington.

Washington, July 3.-Major Richard
Sylvester, superintendent of the Dis
trict of COlumbi police force, expressed
himself today in favor of the introduce
ton into prisons and reformatories in
the District of a spanking machine like
that now used in Colorado penal insti-
tutions.
Major Sylvester will recommend the
adoption of this machine in his annual
report. He said today that there was
nothing barbarous in it's use. The pad
die inflicted punishment, but that was
not nearly so great a corrective as the
degradation and humiliation of the VIC
tim. The machine, he said, does not
draw blood or disigure the person upon
whom it is used, but out in Colorado
every padding becomes an object les
son through the fact that the other in
mates of a prison are called in to see
the punishment inflicted. Major Syl-
vester said that there are two kinds of
these machines, one for males and one
for females. The males are strapped to
wooden horse, while the females,
clothed in gauze suits, are seated in a
chair which has no bottom.

MRS. SEELY SEEKS DIVORCE
Wife of RTan Convicted of RobbIng
New York Bank, Wants to
Marry Again.

New York, July 3.-There is a sequel to
the world famous robbery of the National
Shoe and Leather bank Of this city in 1894.
Word was received today from Rollins,
Lake county, Illinois, that Mrs. Ida Ben
nett Seely had brought suit for an absO-
lutte divorce from Samuel c. Seely. Seely
and Frederick Barker together stole 1884,
600 from the bank.
Mrs. Seely's. friends say she chung to her
husband until she learned, long after he
entered the Kings county penitentiary,
that he had been unfaithful to her; It is
alleged that she found a letter which he
had written to a woman who had been
servant in the Seely household.
Mrs. Seely went to Illinois year ago
and acquired a legal residence there for
the purpose of bringing the suit. The
ground of her action was that her hus
band had been convicted of felony
Some time ago property in Brooklyn
which formerly had belonged to Mrs.
Seely, was decided back to her the
statement that q friend of the family
was ready to clear off the Indebtedness.
The money, it is said was advanced by
the. elderly Brooklyn admirer of Mrs.
Seely.
Mrs. Seely Is a handsome woman. She
has one child, "a boy. She has told her
friends she viii return to New York soon
a happy woman
Samuel c. Seely will come out of prison
a free man on May ], next year. When
his thefts were discovered he gave the tip
TO his confederate, Frederick Barker, and
fled to Chicago. Barker committed sui
eide.

SEATS FOR SALESGIRLs.
Judge at Des Moines Fines a Shop
keeper $40 For Not Furnish
ing Stools.

Des Moines, July 3.-Manager Acker-
man of a West Des Moines 10-cent store
was found guilty this morning of treat
ing his help cruelty. He was fined a
nominal sum of SO and instructed to
get stools for his help as soon as he
could. 1t was a decided victory for the
Humane society and the ladies interest
ed in protecting those who deserve pro-
lection.
Alderman gave notice of an appeal.
His defense was that his help had an
opportunity to use old soap boxes for
seats
The court held that if there was not
sufficient room between the counter and
shelves for a comfortable seat it was
the duty of Alderman to change the
counters. The judge was emphatic in
ruling that soap boxes were not what
was meant by the statute as suitable
seats, and that in his opinion the section
under which the action had been
brought had been plainly violated
The decision caused the members of
the Humane society who We're interest
ed in the prosecution to feel elated, as
it will assist them in the enforcement
of the law in other stores in which wo-
men are employed.

TO REACH THE POLE.
Proposes to Use Ships, Reindeer and
Telephone Line.

Seattle Wash, July 3.-The latest and
most novel scheme for getting to the
north pole has been suggested by A c.
Jackson, president of the Alaska Geo
graphical society, and he says that the
proposition is going to be presented by
himself to the International Geographic
cal congress that meets in Berlin the
latter part of September.
His idea is to start from some point
on the north coast of Alaska with three
ships. loaded and provisioned for a five
years cruise, sail as far north as pos
sible, and then tie the vessel fast to
the floating ice and drift as near the
pole as possible.
Then he proposes to unload a herd
of reindeer that is aboard the ships and
un~eeIing behind a spool of copper wire
for the purpose of keeping in constant
telephone communication with the men
aboard the vessels and to serve as guide
to return after the pole is reached.

GIVEN NEW TRIAL.
Judge Hazen Puts His Conscience at
Ease In Larceny Case.
Judge Hazen today Sci aside the Vel

Judge Hazen today set aside the YER
Richardson, porter of the Palace Cloth
ing company, of grand larceny, and
granted him a new trial. Judge Hazen
has grave doubts concerning Richard
sons guilt.
Richardson has been in the employ
of the Palace Clothing company for sew
eraI years and has always been trusted
by the company. They have so much
faith in him that Mr.. Auerbach, the
proprietor. signed his bond for $500.
The charge against Richardson was
$35 from Charles Bradshaw, at whose
house Richardson boarded. 1t seems
that there was a crap game at Brad
shaw's house just before the money dis
appeared, and it is rather hard for
those implicated to explain all the cir
cumstances in connection with it.
When the case was tried about three
weeks ago the jury found Richardson
guilty when they had been out only a
few minutes, but Judge HaZen was not
so sure of his guilt. Richardson's attor-
neys filed a motion for a new trial,
which came up today. In deciding it
Judge Hazen said:
The jury seems to have thought be-
yond a reasonable doubt that this de-
PENDANT was guilty, but the court has
right to an opinion in the matter, and
the court has a reasonable doubt con-
corning his guilt. It is sufficient that
if I should sentence this man to the
penitertiary the matter would prOba-
bly, come up in my mind a good many
times and would not be satisfied that
he was justly punished. The verdict
of the jury is therefore set aside and a
new trial granted -
