The trains on the Southern Pacific
have not been on time lately. Noneo OF
the railroad men have been able to
End out why they are late. The only
satisfaction they car get is that the
trains come on to this division late,
and that they are put over the divi-
sion on schedule time, and generally
a little better than schedule time.
The trains are very heavy, as the road
is doiag an immense passenger busl-
ness. 1t is expected that the trains
will be relieved of a good deal Of this
passenger traffic about the 10th of next
month, when the Sunset Limited is
expected to be doing business.

Paying For His Education.

Washington. Nov. 29.-J. P. V. Gridley
a son of the late Captain Charles v.
Gridley who commanded Admiral Dewey S
flagship at the Battle of Manila, was to-
day designated for appointment to a lieu
tenancy in the marine corps by Presi-
dent Mckinley. Young Gridley is too old
to enter Annapolis and the only opening
for him in the navy lay in an appointment
to the marine corps, but he lacked the
necessary education, and worse than all
the money for study. The boy was too
modest to tell anyone of his situation
put Admiral Dewey who loved his father
suspected it and decided to act. He de-
termined to pay the boys expenses while
studying for the lieutenancy. This morn
ing he met young Gridley at the White
House and presented him to the presi-
dent Admiral Dewey started to explain

Office Since He Left.

New York Nov 29.-WiIliam F. Mil
Ter, who conducted the Franklin syndi-
cate in Brooklyn is still at large.
The Franklin syndicate safe which
was locked by Miller the last thing be-
fore he TOOK flight was opened by
lOcksmith today in Brooklyn police
station. In it was found 100 shares of
Brooklyn Rapid Transit stock and
few worthless scraps of papers. There
was not a penny of cash and nothing
of value except the stock A majority
of it had been purchased at SS3s and
the remainder at SS1a. Postmaster Will
son, of Brooklyn, has received an order
from the postmaster general directing
senders. all letters addressed to the
syndicate. About 1900 pieces of mail,
including over S12, Geo worth of money
orders, have accumulated since Satur-
day. Hubert G. Taylor, who was ap-
pointed receiver of the syndicate has
asked to be relieved of the appoint
ment on the grounds that he does not
like to have his name associated in the
public mind with that Of Miller and his
unsaVOry supporters.
Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
against the syndicate We're instituted
in the United States court today be-
fore Judge Thomas by attorneys repre-
senting depOsitOrs whose claims aggre-

THEY ALL LAUGHED.
Dignifed Justices of the Supreme
Court Had Fun at Judge Hor-
toms Expense.

An incident in the hearing of the
stock yards case by the United States
supreme court has reached Topeka, al
though an effort has been made to sup
press it.
When the trial was in progress under
the administration of Attorney General
Boyle he and Judge A. H. Horton went
to st. Paul and in Judge SanbOrns
court filed a stipulation stating that
there was no cOllusion on the part of
the stock yards company directors in
the Suit brought to defeat the Kansas
law. Eastern directors of the company
brought the suit to enjoin the company
from enforcing the new schedule of
charges. Yet, this stipulation that no
cOllusion existed was filed
When Judge Horton was arguing the
case at Washington he referred to this
stipulation, which proved an amusing
incident to the court
Justice Brown interrupted Judge HOr-
tons argument to say
Does not the fact that such a stip-
ulatiOn was filed indicate that there
was cOllusiOn2"
Judge Horton thought not and pro-
ceeded, but was soon interrupted by
Justice Gray who said:
Does not the filing of the stipulation
leave room for the suspicion that there
was cOIlusion sOmewhere?'
Then all the justices of the court
laughed" said B. H. Tracy who repre-
sented the state in conjunction with At
tOrneV General GODDARD.

GILMORE HEARD FROM.
Washington, Nov. 29.-The following
cablegram has been received at the
navy department from Admiral Wat

(Signed) WATSON.
The above dispatch taken in connec-
ton with the advices received today
from General Otis, describing the sue
cess of the movements of the army un-
der General Young, encourages the
naval officials in the belief that per-
haps by this time the American pris-
Oners referred to have already been re-
leased. With the naval contingent at
Vigan, only 25 miles away to the west,
and the army advance probably little
further distant to the southeast, the
town of Bagued is nearly surrounded
and there is little chance OF the escape
of the insurgent force there if they at
tempt to cucumber themselves inetheir
retreat with the prisoners. Taking the
list of prisoners of GilmOre's party Civ
en- in the cable from Admiral Watson
as being at Bagued, the records of the
ing men must have been left at Baler
on the east coast of the island where
the YorktOwn's boat and crew was cap
tured last spring: John Dillon,
Charles A. Morrissey, Ora B. McDOn-
aid, VIM. H. Rynders, 0. w. Woodbury.,
D. G. VenvilI and A J. Nigard.
Altogether the news from both army
and naval sources is highly encourag-
ing to the officials here as Indicating
the practical end of the opposition of
the insurgents in the north of LuzOn
So far as known the only formidable
force is that left in Cavite province
under General Tryas and that operat-
ing in Panay.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
Perhaps Kansas Has No Legal Boards
of County Commissioners

1t is claimed by some attorneys that
Judge Hooks decision may destroy the
power of the board of county commits
sioners of the different counties in Kan
sas. over in Missouri instead of calling
them boards of commissioners" they
are called county courts" The diff
ference between those in Kansas and
those in Missouri is principally in name.
The board of county commissioners is
organized on the same general principal
that the court of visitation was or
ganized, and its powers are three-fOld
in the same degree as were those of the
court of visitation. The county com
naissiOners are a legislative body when
they make tax levy; they are a in
dicial body when they settle road dis
putes; and they are an administrative
body when they make contracts for the
county.
If the court of visitation is declared
invalid because it is given power to act
in all these capacities. 1t is argued that
the boards of county commissioners are
also invalid organizations

possible on lines somewhat similar to
the arrangements effected for the gov

tention IS invited to the report of the
Philippine commission as to why it is
impossible for the United States to
part with the islands and as to the
great commercial advantage in holding
them.
Civil government in Cuba under mill
tary control is recommended until
some substantial progress has been
made through the medium of suffrage
toward the establishment of an inde-
pendent form of government. Atten-
tiOn is called to the fact that the cen
sus Will not be completed until Decem-
Der /, and as the SpaniardS have, under
the treaty until April next to decide
whether they viii become citizens of

the island The question of annexation
is, therefore left open. Great stress
IS laid upon the Improvement of the is
land during the year, not only COM
mercialIy and agriculturally but also in
the sanitary condition of the cities and
towns.
President Mckinley recommends that
civil government Immediately replace
the military in Port Rico a civil gov
ernOr to be appointed and a council
or legislature to be elected by the
people. property and educational quail
lhcatOns to be prescribed for voters.
AS to Hawaii the president suggests
immediate legislation to put in effect
a territorial form of government and
the modification of the pending bills
to correspond more nearly with the
present government of the islands
The Hague conference is pointed to
