MR.. LONGS DINNER
Given on Board the Dolphin to the
President and Cabinet.

Washington. March 2-Secretary
Longs idea of giving his cabinet dinner
on the Dolphin was carried out with
the greatest success Tuesday night Last
year he planned to dine the presidential
party and cabinet members in the same
way, but the destruction of the Maine
prevented it. This year all the circum-
stances were propitious and the pic
turesque affair was one of the most
magnificent of the official entertain
ments of the administration. The gal
liant little vessel that saw active service
at Santiago lay peacefully in its port
at the navy yard. All day the officers
and Seamen were busy running a line
of lights from the deck to the mast
heads, flying bunting and f1uttering pen
mons were all in place. and when night
came on, and under the rays of a full
Orped moon, the ship was a, thing of
beauty as the party drove up The time
was earlier than usual by a half hour
The party walked under an arch to the
deck, over which the design of a dol
phin was outlined in stars of light. with
letter D and a trident The presidents
own nag and the standard of the sec
retary OF the navy floated over it The
Marine band played it's welcome on
deck and the officers under Captain Ly-
on stood ready to welcome them The
seamen in the background gave the
nautical finish to the scene
Miss Long and Miss Helen Long in
the trim little cabin welcomed the
guests. The table made a fine showing
with its pink roses in ferns, and a vista
of beauty was made by palms and
growing aZaleas.
The guests were the President and
Mrs Mckinley, Vice President and Mrs
Hobart, Secretary and Mrs. Hay, Sec
retary and Mrs. Gage, Secretary and
MRS A1ger, Attorney General and Mrs
Griggs, Postmaster General and Mrs
Charles Emory Smith, Secretary and
Mrs. Hitchcock, Secretary and Miss VIII
son, Assistant Secretary of the NAVY
ana Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Glover, Captain
and Mrs. Lynn, and Mr.. Hemingway.

THAT CITY COURT.
Contest Growing More Spirited, and
McCabe's Friends Confident.

Those familiar with the situation say
that Arthur McCabe is in the lead for
the position of judge of the city court
It is possible that the conditions may
change before Saturday but Mr.. Nc
Cabe's friends think that he has much
the best of the contest and will hold his
own until Saturday afternoon when the
primary will be held. The fact that he
is a young man and a member of one
of the oldest and most respected fami-
lies in Topeka is giving him prominent
place in the contest as well as the fact
that he is recognized as a lawyer of
ability.
The colored candidate for the place,
w. I. Jamison, has withdrawn but there
is talk Of A. M. Thomas, the colored
lawyer, becoming a candidate. Miriam
ison said today: 'I am grateful to my
friends for the courtesy they show me
in desiring me to become a candidate
for the position mentioned but am
not a candidate and do not intend to be
for the position of judge of the city
court"
L. A. James has entered the race for
clerk of the court. He lives in North To-
peka- The fight will probably be between
Ed Good and Mr.. James.
The contest for marshal is between con-
stables of the Justice courts and Shern1
Williams the popular Second ward worker
are not equal to two primaries in one
week. Who will be benefited by the light
vote it is difficult to say.
Secretary o. K. SWayZe said today that
on the tickets. as he does not care TO take
the responsibility of arranging them the
assessments must be paid before Friday
noon, when the drawings will take place

TOO DEEP FOR HIM.
Mr. GODDARD Unable to Fathom the
Motives of Bogus Collins
Witnesses.

For several years made my way
through life with the impression that
I knew something about human ma
ture," said Attorney General GODDARD to-
day, "but since my experiences in han
ding the Collins case I admit that /
don't. In fact, you could now tell me
almost anything about human nature
and would be willing to believe it.
Il could tell many extraordinary tales
in reference to the case that have been
motives I can't say went on Mr..
GODDARD. 1.-THE freight car story of Sid
ney Updegraft was one of this class,
and the stories told by Mrs. Gilmore
and Nello in their affidavits are appar-
emily of the same kind. Yet each one
of these people appeared to be wholly
honest in their statements to Mr.. Hay
den and I, and we impressed upon them
to the best of our ability that we
wanted only the absolute truth. Upde-
graft came here with the best of refer
ences from reputable business men of
Burlington, and both Mrs. Gilmore and
Nello stated that the only object they
had in making the afhdavitS was be-
cause their statements were true. They
aSSuredly did not ask for money or re-
muneration of any kind, and am at a
loss to fix a reason for the stories they
told.
Unlike Updegraft, Nello and Mrs.
Gilmore, some of the people who have
approached US with the information
that they were in the possession of i'm
portant evidence have asked to be paid
for it. OF course, such people we dis
missed at once without discussing the
matter further One day I received a
letter from q. man in Texas who agreed

NELLO TALKS IN JAIL.
Young Man Who Makes His Living
'Just Travelling" Has Some
thing to Say.

James E. Nello, arrested for perjury
in the Collins hearing, spends his time
in his cell at the county Jail reading,
and converses in a. steady, even tone of
voice without betraying his feelings in
the least. He talks of his chances of
escaping the penitentiary sentence for
perjury as if he were bored by the con-
versation and did not consider it worth
while discussing.
He was dressed in a blue and white
striped shirt, trousers and shoes, with
out a coat. He wore no collar or tie.
In his shirt front is a stud set with
rhinestones.
His hair is closely cut and combed
back from a high forehead. His eyes
are gray and on first meeting he partly
closes them while scrutinizing his Wis
itor.
MY name is Nello and nothing else.
I do not remember the name of that
fellow who said my name was some
thing else and do not remember what
he said my name was" said the pris-
oner.
'It was Umpleby who said your name
was not Nello.''
"Was that it? do not know him and
did not know what his name was"
Where is your homer"
''In Denver replied Nello. "But I
have not been there much. I have been
travelling in the south and Mexico and
other places"
why did you not offer your testi-
mony at the Collins trial?'
trial until it was over. When was the
trail he1d?''
During December
''Well, was in Kansas City the day
before Christmas and saw the account
of the trial in the papers, but that was
after the jury brought in the verdict.
81 would not make anything by tell
ing this story. I wished to tell what I
know. That was all. I wrote to God
ard. 7 don't know whether L wrote
from Kansas City or Omaha, but he

letter and a friend forwarded it to me

ner of First and Adams street, think
those are the streets-remember that I
called to see the girl that worked there.
Her name was Bertha I do not know
what her other name was. They say
her name was Birdie. I thought it was
Bertha My story is true
Nello's demeanor is that of an ad-
venturer. He disclaims any wish for
notoriety, but was perfectly willing to
talk to a reporter.

1T HAD WORMS IN 1T.
Most Damaging Testimony Yet
Concerning the Canned Beef.

Washington, March 2.-The war depart-
tive session before beginning the examiE-
alton of witnesses today. The testimony
of Clarence Walters of the First Volun-
teer engineers of New York was rather
sensational. He was apparently well ed
ucated and intelligent, evidently a man
of the world, and gave testimony clearly
and calmly, but with positive dfrectnesS.
He was asked what his experience with
canned beef had been on the voyage of
his transport to Porto Rico, and replied
that the first can he saw opened had
ing opened developed such a putrid odor
that it was impossible to have it about.
He ate some of it and was made violently
sick He said he had been on sea trips
before and was never seaSic3x. The men
of his company complained of the meat
and the connaissary sergeant refused 10
accept it. Some Of the meat was given
to the surgeon major, who tasted it and
said it was all right. The sergeant COM
nlissary was compelled to accept it, but
did so under protest. Nearly all the men
of his battalion were sick throughout most
Of the voyage as a result of eating this
meat
Colonel Davis, the recorder. ordered a
can opened and asked witness if it was
Witness said it bore no resemblance to
the campaign article. The cans he had
seen were a different form, keystone shape,
and the color, consistency and Odor of the
contents were entirely different A second
can was opened for inspection with the
same result Witness did not recognize
it.
The commissary sergeant of his conn
pany was George Taylor of Sc Pine street,
New York, since made lieutenant.

The Pope Took NOurishment at
Midnight.

Rome, March 2.-The pope passed
good night. He took a little soup and
brandy at midnight and then fell asleep.
The fever increased somewhat during
the night, but DR.. Lapponi says this is
usually the case after such an opera
ton as the patient underwent on yes
terday.
DR.. Mazzoni will dress the part op-
Grated upon this morning. Although
the condition of the pontiff is not con-
sidered grave, Cardinal Ledochowski,
the prefect of the congregation of the
propaganda fide, consulted yesterday
with Cardinal Creglia, dean of the
Sacred college, Camorlongo, Of the holy
Roman church and prefect of the con-
gregation of ceremonial and Cardinal
Mertel, vice chancellor of the holy
Roman church and first cardinal deacon
who, in conjunction with Cardinal
LedochowSki, according to the apostolic
constitutions, assume the government
of the church in case of the pope's
death.

JUDGESHIP FOR GRAY.
Mckinley Provides For Demo
cratic Member of Peace
Commission.

Washington, March 2.-Senator Geo.
Gray of Delaware, whose term expires
March 4, has signified to the president
that he would accept a tender of an ap-
pointment as United States circuit
judge for the third judicial circuit,
comprising the states of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware and his
appointment has been definitely decided
upon. The nomination, however, will
not be made until after the adjourn
ment of congress. A recent act gave an
additional judge to this circuit because
of the large amount of litigation there
in Senator Gray is a Gold Democrat
and was one of the American commits
sioners in the recent peace treaty
negotiations.

to furnish any kind of evidence wanted
at a reasonable figure.
while some of the people who came
to us with stories wanted money" con-
tinued Mr.. GODDARD, the majority did
not and it was in dealing with such
people that lost the impression that
1 knew something about human nature.
Why they should tell us the stories they
did, unless from a morbid desire to get
into the case, I can't for the life of me
explain. Some of the women who came
to US with the most extraordinary
stories showed a terrible earnestness
in reciting them, and several left the
office weeping because we told them it
would be impossible to use their evil
dence"

New York, March 2.-There were indi-
cations about the Grenoble hotel early
today that the physicians and friends
of Rudyard Kipling were feeling a de-
gree of confidence not hitherto exper-
fenced that the sick man is progressing
toward recovery. DR.. JaneWay left the

are the two girls, Josephine, years
old, and Elsie, 8 years.
Josephine was taken sick the day

i'll for nine days. She had pneumonia
and has been in somewhat serious
condition. Elsie had a bronchial affec-
ton the day before yesterday, which
was pronounced bronchitis. Now it is
pneumonia She is not dangerously ill.

one.
SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT

KipAng's condition during the morning
and it was said that nothing has been
heard of Josephine since last night.
