KRUGER'S IGNORANCE
Acrimonious Debate Carried on
In the Commons.

London, Oct. 25.-Michae1 Davitt, Ir-
ish Nationalist member for South
Mayo, announced in the house of com
mons today that he would resign to-
morrow as a protest against the Boer
war.
During the debate on the second read
ing of the appropriation bill in the house
of commons today. James H. Dalziel'
Liberal member for the Kirkcaldy dis
trict, expressed the opinion that one OF
the greatest difficulties in arriving at
a settlement with President Kruger
had been that rightly or wrongly, the
president had believed Mr.. Chamber
lain, the British secretary of state Tor
the colonies, and Cecil Rhodes, We're
Identical He added that Mr.. Cham
berIain had given grounds for this be-
lief by Suppressing kilograms Where-
upon the colonial secretary tartty IN
tervened, saying:
H'I have never suppressed telegra1nS-
I have not got them.
Mr.. Chamberlain also denied that ne
had refused to see Mr.. Montague
White the agent of the Transvaal, who
the colonial secretary added, had never
applied for an audience.
The speaker, VIM. Court Gully, inter
vened at this juncture and declared
that all references to such matters were
cut of order
Mr.. Davitt denounced the Jingo press
and said that the war for the meanest
and most mercenary aims would pe
known as the greatest crime of the
century. He declared that if he had
been offered home rule and an irish re-
public he would not have accepted
them if accompanied by tIIe condition
that he vote for war. AS a protest he
would ask to be relieved from attend
ance in the house. He had been in the
house for five years trying to obtain
justice for Ireland and he left it con-
vinced that no cause of justice and
right would have the support of the
house unless backed by force"

STIRRED Up.
Distrust of European Powers
Pervades Great Britain.
Extensive Preparations Being
Made For Emergencies.

London, Oct. 25.-The extent of the
British preparations revealed by to-
days information causes a strong re-
iteration of the rumors of serious for
eign complications. 1t is now said that
Rear Admiral Lord Charles BeresfOrd
will command the Mediterranean
squadron, and details of the activity at
the dock yards and naval stations are
coming in hot and fast. The Associated
Press learns however that whether or
not Great Britain seriously fears Rus
sian or French aggression, the naval
preparations have been under consid-
Grafton for several months and it was
the admiralty'S intention to put them
in force as soon as war was declared,
deeming it necessary to increase the
active strength of the navy in order to
insure the large fleet of transports
against every possible contingency.
Whether later developments have
transformed the admiraIty's precau-
tiOnary measures into preparations for
a naval demonstration, necesSitated by
European hostility is the question of
the hour and it is as much a mystery
to many high naval officers as to the
public. The exact condition of affairs
consists of ordering the naval reserves
to be in readiness to rejoin their ships
at "a hours notice, while all the cruis-
ers of the reserve class have been noti-
fed to be ready to sail in the same time
limits. These vessels, though at the
dock yards are never out of commits
sion and are always supposed to be
ready for immediate manning A dozen
cruisers ranging from 5000 to II 600
tons are only waiting the word to en-
bark the crews.
In addition to these preparations
work on the uncompleted vessels is be-
ing hurried day and night The spe-
cial attention being paid to the cruisers
is taken by many naval authorities to
indicate that Great Britain intends to
form a menacing flying squadron, using
the term 'menacing'' because the naval
force at sea now is ample to convoy
the troops and is capable of preventing
any interference in South African wa
ters.
While the British officials do not con-
ceal their knowledge of German, French
and Russian antagonisrn, and their irri-
| tation thereat, they do not give the
| slightest hint that European hostility
will crystalize into any probable overt
act
The belief that Great Britain is on
| the verge of a crisis or even a conflict,
| far greater than that in the TransvaaI,
| has many supporters, though the lack
| of all official confirmation favors the
| conservative views that the remark
/ able military and naval activity is due
/ to desire to take through precautions
which, though ominous, have at pres
| ent no special bearing upon Great
! Britain's European relations.
| Advices from the continent strengthen
| this view. For instance, the F'remden-
blatt of Vienna today says: ssNothine
| points to the eventuality of the inter-
vention Of Europe in favor of the
/ Beers"
The paper adds that Germany espe-
| cially has resolved mot to depart from
! her attitude of neutrality

THIS is IMPORTANT.
Meeting Tonight to Arrange Soldiers
Banquet Details.

There will be an important meeting
of the Grocers and Butchers at Weber's s
hall tonight, to continue the arrange
ments for the banquet to be given to
the Twentieth Kansas regiment. 1t is
necessary that every grocer in the city
interested in this banquet should be
present The different committees will
make their report of their plans up to
date and Will also give an estimate of
the amount of money that they will
need to properly carry out their plans.
1t is also important that the matter
of the procuring of the necessary num-
ber of pies and cakes should receive at
tention, as there are a great many of
the pie plates which as yet remain IN
called for. At least calculation 1000
pies and cakes viii be needed to supply
this part of the banquet, and no where
near that many have been arranged
for. The ladies of the city ought to
take more interest in this matter and
every lady who can spare the time to
bake a pie or cake should apply to her
grocer or butcher and get a plate. If
the required number of pies and cakes
are not arranged for by the first of
the week it will be necessary to make
arrangements to procure them some
where else.

BOOM FOR LITTLE
Nay Be Entered In Race For
United States Senator.
John Madden Thinks the Colonel
Is a Coming Man.
FUNSTON'S MISTAKE.
Says 1t Was Made When He
Abused Catholics.
Thinks It Is a Question OF
Ballast.
FUNSTON'S MISTAKE.

John Madden of Emporia, a Populist
expansiOnist, and one of the prominent
members of the party in this state, hav-
ing been mentioned as a candidate for
attorney general next year, was in the
city today. Mr.. Madden declines to run
for office again, but wants John Breid-
enthal made governor and Lieutenant
Colonel E. G. Little sent to the United
States senate. Discussing these ideas,
Mr.. Madden said to a Journal reporter:
''There is not gold enough in the I'm
tied States to induce me to accept a
nomination for any political Office in
the gift of the people of Kansas. OF
course I shall always retain the privi-
lege of occasionally helping a friend to
office or speak a good word for my par
ty, but as 70 the office-seeking- have
done with that
In reply to a question as to his pref
erence for governor, Mr.. Madden said:
John Breidenthal is beyond question
the most able man in the fusion ranks
for the place. He is a brainy man, con-
servative and think could be elected"
OF Fred Funston's possible entry into
politics, Mr.. Madden said: "A vessel
carrying its mast high in the air needs
a certain amount of ballast. This was
the case with the Shamrock and Column
bia. Their tail spars reached far into
the air and adverse winds whipped and
swayed them, but the ballast held them
true to their course. A politician with
a restless brain reaching out and up
wards should have a well ballasted
mind also. Mr.. Funston is brave man
and a fighter, but also impulsive and
speaks before he weighs his words. He
should have remembered the fate OF
Burchard and Blaine before attacking
the Catholic church. Besides the friars
he spoke of were of the Spanish rule
| bitterly hated by the Fflipinos and the
monks could have little influence in in
citing instructions against the Amer
leans. The general came sailing home
with the yellow mud of the Luzon fresh
on his boots and the alteration he just
" received caused him to forget for q
moment, and he lost his ballast.
Il want to say just word for Lieu
| tenant Colonel Little. He, in my opin-
ion, is the coming man in Kansas. He
has been abused and maligned beyond
| reason by men who in common graft
tude should have been passive if not his
friends.
Mr.. Little is not now complaining
| neither is he abusing his enemies, but
attending to his duties and I find wher-
ever I go he has a host of friends
among the Republicans.
Should there be a fusion legislature
| the party has no better man in Kan
sas for United States senator than Ed
| T.ittIe'

United States all claim him as their
own. He is a native of the dominion,
was educated in America and at OK
ford, and has lived and worked in Lon
don. After his graduation at Oxford
Mr.. Allen became a schoOlmaster, but
dropped that occupation and turned to
literature. This was in the early '70s.
AS a writer he found his path like
mountain trail-sinuous and steep. But
he persevered and did not permit un-
appreciative editors to discourage him.
His first pretentious work 'Psychologi-
cal Aesthetics''-w published at his
own expense and lost money for him.
His primary ambition was toward
into fiction, and it is for his work in
that field that he is known rather than
for his scientific contributions.

NO MORE FUSION.
Wyandotte County Popu1ists Divorc-
ed From Democrats

The Populists of Wyandotte county
have abandoned the fusion deal made
at the opening of the fall campaign and
now have a straight ticket in the field.
When the deal was first made the Pop
ulists declined to give the Democrats a
place on the ticket but some of the
Democrats caused two of the candi-
dates named by the Populists to resign
their places on the ticket. Then the
PopuIists named the Democrats for the
place.
Later a controversy arose and the
PopuIists have pushed the Democrats
off the ticket, named a straight ticket
and are making the campaign on a
straight party issue in the county.
