GATHERING.
Pouring Into Denver by Hun
dredS From All Directions
To Attend the Second Annual
Convention Which
BEGINS TOMORROW.
Nearly 1000 Accredited Dele
gates Are Expected
From the 45 Organized SOcie-
ties of the Association.

Denver, Jan. 23.-Hundreds of cattle
men from all directions arrived on the
early trains today and it is evident that
there will be a large attendance at the
second annual convention of the Ma
tiona Livestock association, which opens
tomorrow. The storm of yesterday has
passed eastward and fine weather dur
ing the week is anticipated.
Firty-f1ve organized bodies, represent
ing twenty states, are now affiliated
with the national association, and it is
figured that they will send to Denver
this week from 700 to 1000 delegates
and three times as many visitors. The
states represented in the convention
Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South
Dakota, Texas, Utah, North Dakota,
Wyoming and New York.
Among the arrivals today was g. large
delegation from Texas, which will make
q strong effort to have the next annual
convention held in Texas. Dallas, Fort
Worth and San Antonio are candidates.
Chicago is the choice of some delegates
from the east.
There is some agitation in favor of
making Denver the permanent head
quarters and re-electing John w.
Springer president.
The indication are that the range cat
tie show to be held at the stockyardS in
connection with the convention will
prove a great success. There will be
about 5000 head of cattle for sale, in
addition to 1900 entered for exhibition.
This is the first exhibition of this char
acter ever held.
In addition to the cash prizes already
announced, amounting to nearly $4,000
the committee has decided to give silver
medals as second and third prizes These
will be in the nature of special awards

WILL BE DR.. BIDDLE.
Kansas Will Go to EmpOria
Again For Superintend-
ent Insane Asylum.

Rumor has it that DR.. Thomas G.
Biddle of Emporia will succeed DR.. l.
D. Mckinley as superintendent of the
Topeka insane asylum. DR.. Biddle was
elected superintendent of the Osawato-
mie asylum, by the state board of
charities under Governor Morrill,. He
was unusually successful in the work
and the Populist board under Governor
Leedy retained him.
At the outbreak of the war DR.. Biddle
was made an assistant surgeon in the
Twenty-second Kansas. After this regi-
ment had gone to Camp Thomas, he
was attached to General Brooke's staff
and went to Porto Rico with the trans
ports. He returned and was discharged
from the service with the regiment. =

WILD DAY ON CHANGE
Many Stocks Reach the Highest
Point on Record.

New York Jan. 23-The trading on
the stock exchange this morning has
scarcely parallel in the history of the
exchange. Shares which until recently
were attended with conservative fiuc-
tuations became speculative footballs
and were banded around five to 10
points enormous dealings.
The tremendous bull movement un-
der way in the stock market, indicating
as it does the pulse of the financial and
commercial situation, has brought the
public into the market to an exceptional
extent, rendering it impossible for the
recognized market leaders to influence
trading as in the past. The crowds in
the brokers' offices and in the galleries
of the exchange were enormous. Al
large stock exchange house posted no
tice that it would not be responsible
for traders in odd lots, owing to the
enormous business in hundred share
lots. Brokers generally refused stop
loss orders, as they were impossible of
execution.
The trading was unprecedented in
volume and rapidity of fluctuations.
Enormous purchasing orders had ac-
cumulated over Sunday and the favor
able bank statement assuring easy
money and the rumor of a Vanderbilt
deal with the Chicago & Northwestern
being the incentives. Fluctuations dur
ing the first half hour were the highest
and the market soon broke on Hquida-.
tion and short selling, but again was
SOlIlS up strongly at nOOuy leu Dy In6
coalers. The principal fluctuations
were the following:
Pittsburg, c. G. & st. Louis advanced
1875, reacted 1S and rallied 5; Pennsyl-
vania advanced 61s and lost half of the
rise; Canadian Southern advanced 111A,
dropped 91a, rallied a; G. G. & ST. Louis

Airbrake 5%; the Changers and Atchi-
son preferred, Chicago Great Western,
Manhattan, Sugar and various other
shares huctuated 2 to 4 points. New
York Central advanced 31s and broke
points.
Large operators were believed to have
been heavy sellers during the forenoon,
taking advantage of the public demand
The volume of trading was SO great as
to make it impossible to get much of an
idea as to the size of the orders. II
was certain, however, that the buying
was by the public. In many cases or

possibility of giving them proper atten-
stion. The prices attained this morning

LOCATION OF OUR SHIPS.
Where the Vessels of the q. 8. Fleets
Are Now Stationed.

New York, JAN 23.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
AS a result of the assignment of the
battIeships Iowa and Oregon to the Pa
cific and Asiatic stations respectively
and the decision to dispatch the cruiser
Newark to the Pacific coast the COM
missioned naval force to the United
States is about equally divided between
the two oceans.
At the present time there are station
ed in Atlantic waters two battleships,
two armored cruisers, one secOnd-ciaSS
battleship, six protected and unprotect-
ed cruisers and II gunboats. The COM
Dined commands of Rear Admiral Dew
ey and Commodore Kautz include two
battIeshipS, two coast defense monitors,
six cruisers, including the Newark and
16 gunboats. There are also several
auxiliary cruisers, colliers and supply
ships. The assignment of the Newark
to the Pacific coast is due to the neces-
Sity of having a cruiser on the Pacific
coast to replace the Philadelphia, which
will leave by Wednesday next for Sa-
moa. Orders have been given to push
the work on the Newark so that she
may be ready to sail early in February.
The auxiliary cruiser Badger, which
has been assigned to the Pacific station,
will leave Norfolk for Mare Island dur
ing the present week. The division of
the force is due to the desire of the
administration to protect its interests
in both oceans, though there is no rea-
son to believe that any further trouble
will occur.
Orders have been given under which
the Nashville is being pushed for COM
pletion. 1t is stated that the depart
ment is actuated in this matter by it's
desire to maintain a strong force in Gu
ban waters as we'll as to have the ships
at a point where they can start without
delay for the far east should hostilitieS
with the FilipinoS occur.

BOBINGERsoLL's KINDNESS
oficiates at the Funeral of Friend of
Early Days.

Kansas City, Jan. 23-Because of a
friendship dating back nearly half a CEN
tury, because it had been one of the dead
wonan's last expressed wishes, Colonel
Ingerson made an address over the re-
mains of Mrs. Mary J. Bowman yester-
day afternoon before they were placed in
a vault at Elmwood cemetery.
The deceased was the widow of the late
William G. Bowman, a lawyer, with whom
Colonel Ingersoll had been associated in
the early days in Shawneetown, Ill. The
two men were young then, and just start
ing out to fight the battles of life. They
were both poor and shared one office, and
when an exceptionally big case came along
they handled it together. Colonel IngersoIl
was not married then, but Bowman was,
and it was that Mrs. Bowman who was
buried yesterday and above whose corpse
Colonel Ingerson spoke.
Mrs. Bowman had been i'll for more than
a year, being sufferer from paralysis.
She made her home with her son-in-law,

Japanese Prayers Found Hang
ing on Trees.

Boston, Jan. 23.-The American board
of commissioners for foreign missions
has just received an interesting report
on the present condition of the Hawaiian
islands,
The report is from Rev. J. Leading
ham. After stating that intoxication is
running scores and hundreds of the ma
t1veS, Mr.. Leadingham says:
'HeatheniSm also is a foe which
Christianity must still encounter here.
Besides the lingering remnants of Ha-
waiian heatheniSm is that which is inn
ported from China and Japan, Shinto
and Buddhist priests are active in the
support of their faith among the jap
anese laborers in some places IN the
islands,
On a recent trip to the islands of
Hawaii, Mr.. Leadingham saw on one
side of the road a building in front
of which were some peculiarly shaped
banners attached to tall poles. A path
way leading up to the building had been
cut through the steep banks by the
roadside and the banks on either side
of this pathway were stuck full of short
pieces of bamboo, attached to which
were strips of paper covered with Jap
anese characters.
The building was Shinto shrine and
the strips of paper on the sides of the
pathway were prayers. Here was real
heathenism from Japan.
1t is no uncommon sight to see a hack
loaded with Cinnamon and having with
them nicely roasted pig, on the way to
the cemetery to pay their homage to
their dead ancestors.

RACE FOR LIFE BEGAN
All But Three Quickly Reached
the Shore.
One of These Grabs the Gfrder
of the Steel Bridge.
The Others Reach the Canadian
Side in Safety.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Jan. 23.-While
nearly one hundred persons were on the
great ice bridge in the gorge of the
Niagara river the icy mass was broken
loose from the banks at either end.
There were thousands of Sunday sight
seers in the parks and upon the upper
steel arch enjoying the beauty of the
crystalline structure. They heard the
cracking of the ice and saw the great
mass as it was moved by the swift cur
rent of the river, and hundreds shouted
warning to those on the bridge.
Some of these venturesome persons
had only gone a short distance from
the river bank, while others were out
on the center of the bridge and were
crossing the river. Those near the end
soon found safety, but further out to-
ward the center were a number of small
boys. Before they were fairly started
for the shore the great bridge was loos-
ened from its faStenings. Then it be-
came a race for life, but the youngsters
amid wild shouts, finally reached the
shore.
1t was then seen that all except three
persons had reached places of safety
One was man not far out from the
New YOrk side. The others were a man
and woman, who were fleeing across the
ice toward the Canadian side. The man
near the New York shore kept his cour-
age well. His eyes were directed to-
ward the steel arch under which he
would pass if the ice continued to move
down the river. Onward it went, and
just as it loaded the bridge he leaped
from the ice and caught the arch as it
rises not far out from the abutment
The man and woman reached the Cana
dian shore.
The ice is piled in a great mass about
the abutments of the upper steel arch
and it is rumored that the structure has
been injured, but this can not be veri-
fled. The steamer docks on either side
of the river have been wrecked and the
ice has piled up close to the inclined
in danger.

lection will not be a. blow to the mater
aal interests of Kansas. He thinks the
appointment of Mr.. Hook would be dis
astrous. The contest over the judge
ship has brought to Washington the
most impressive gathering of KanSanS
seen since the inauguration. Vice Pres
ident Paul Morton of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn, is here, asking only that a good
man shall be named. The candidates
who are on the ground include ex-Chief
Justice Horton, Mr.. Hook and ex-Rep-
reSentative Peters. Representative Cur
tbs and Representative-electC CaIderhead
have taken prominent parts in the op-
position to Mr.. Hook.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-The Washing
ton Star says:
The vacancy in the district judgeship
of Kansas will be filled by the nominal
ton of William c. Hook, of Leaven-
worth. Mr.. Hook is Senator Bakers
law partner, and is one of the best
known members of the Kansas bar. His
appointment has been urged by Senator
Baker and Cyrus Leland, national COM
mitteeman. This has been enough to
secure the plum, although there have
dates. Next to Mr.. Hook, the strongest
candidate is said to have been ex-Judge
Horton, formerly of the supreme court
of Kansas. He was backed by Repre-
sentative Curtis and by ex-Representa-
tive Calderhead, who will be member
of the next house. Ex-Representativ
S. r. Peters, one of the candidates for
the judgeship, was at the White House
today. Mr.. Curtis is one of the most
successful members of the house in his
recommendations at the executive man.
sion. The president has the highest
opinion of Mr. Curtis. In this case,
however, Senator Baker had bent all his
energies in behalf of Mr.. Hook.
While Judge Hook is a law partner of
United States Senator Baker, it is said
that he made no call upon Mr.. Baker
for any effort in his behalf until he had
first secured strong testimonials from
various sources He obtained endorse
ments from sixty-nine bar associations
in Kansas. Out of twenty delegates
Kansas sent to the ST. Louis national
convention, nineteen of them signed pc
titions in his favor. The twentieth dele
gate was Judge Hook himself, so he
has the unanimous support of that par
ticular political delegation. OF the Kan
sas Republican state central committee
all but two gave him endorsements and
of the executive committee of that or
ganization all but one endorsed him.
Judge Hook is about forty-five years
old, and is well fixed financially His
legal firm has done an extensive and
lucrative business for many years.

operated upon at Stormont hospital
Sunday and it was found that he has
cancer of the bowels.
His condition had become serious and
his case was somewhat puzzling to the

the worst fears. The cancer is not re-
