HAS NO FLAG.
Serious Condition Confronting Cuba's
Merchant Marine.

Washington. May 23.-The main fea-
the reading and discussion of a detailed
report from General Otis regarding the
military operations in the Philippines.
The report carried the operations up to
April 1 and is considered satisfactory.
1t was decided to make it public. 1t
will probably be given out by Secretary
Alger this afternoon.
Secretary Gage brought up the ques-
ton of a flag for the Cuban shipping.
About $6,000,000 worth of Cuban ship
ping is tied up and prevented from en-
gaging in International trade because
it had no flag to sail under.
The owners have repeatedly appealed
for relief, and after explaining the sit
uation to the cabinet today the whole
matter was referred to Secretary Gage
for a solution if one could be found.
Relief was offered so far as coastwiSe
trade is concerned by the recognition of
the Cuban flag for that purpose. But
foreign countries cannot recognize the
flag of a country that does not exist
and American registry cannot be grant
ed to ships owned by residents of a for
eign country. The question presents
many complications, and it is recog-
nized that a great injustice is being
done to the Cuban owners of ships I'M
der the existing state of affairs. Secre-
tary Gage will confer with the bureau
of navigation regarding the matter in
the hope that some solution may be
found.

When the wagon arrived at its desti-

form of the owner and carried him in
side. The dog followed 1t was hard
work for him to pull the wagon over
the front step but he made it. The
colored boy was lying on the floor while
the officers searched him and the dog
stood close by occasionally licking his
masters hand. The boy could not give
his name and was registered as BLACK
Boy" The dog watched until his mas
ter was locked up and then he trotted
off wagon and all, in the direction of
Parkdale.
In the morning the boy was sober
enough to give his name as Lewis Wis
bert and to appear before Judge Guy.
He explained that a white man had
given him a drink and it was too much
for him. Judge Guy gave the boy a
lecture on 1.-The controlling influence of
drink the devotion of the dog, fined
him SO and left the boy to work it out

NOW A MEMORY.
Funeral of the Late g. G. Gage
Held Today.
Attended by Hundreds of His
Intimate Friends.

The usefulness and generosity which
marked the life of Guilford G. Gage
are now but a memory. His body was
laid away in the Topeka cemetery this
afternoon, while hundreds of friends
stood about the grave and the members
of Lincoln post, Grand Army of the
Republic, fired a parting salute.
The procession to the grave was one
of the longest that has attended the
burial of any Topeka citizen land at
tested the esteem in which Mr.. Gage
was held in this city. 1t was headed by
the members of Lincoln post and Lodge
No. II, A F. &, A M
The funeral services were held at Mr.
Cages late home, at the corner of
Fourth and Van Buren, streets, this af-
ternoon at o'clock. The music was
furnished by the Ad Astra quartette,
composed of Mr.. James Moore, Mr.. H.
L. Shirer, Mr. Harry Overholt and Mr.
William Shaver, and the services were
conducted by Rev. J. T. Mcfarland of
the First Methodist church. Rev. =. b.
McAfee, who was intimately acquainted
with Mr. Gage during the many years
he lived in Topeka, delivered a short
funeral address. He spoke particularly
of his generous nature, and the charity
he manifested on all occasions.
The caSket containing the remains
was handsomely covered with silk plush
and the trimmings were of silver. A
single silver plate bore the engraving
"Guilford G.. Cage" and below this the
casket was literally covered with cut
flowers. At one side was pinned a small
silk American flag, caught up in the
center by a Grand Army badge. About
the room were arranged several beautl-
full set pieces and the bouquets of cuk
flowers that could not be given place
on the casket lid
One of the set pieces, OCCUPYING a place
of honor at the head of the casket, had
a particular significance. 1t was form
ed of brides roses and white cream
carnations in the shape of a cannon,
and was the Gift of the survivors of the
Battle of the Blue Mr.. Gage was one
of the survivors of the battle, having
tain Burns battery until he was rem
dered helpless by the attacking rebel
force. To the men who fell in that bat
tie he erected the imposing granite
monument in the Topeka cemetery, and
afterward published a history of the
daring stand.
A beautiful pillow of roses was ar
ranged at the request of Mrs. Gage, and
lodge No. II of MasOns sent a star of
red and white roses.
The assemblage at the home for the
funeral services was so large that but
people could find accommodation with
in. The beautiful lawn surrounding the
home was thickly dotted with mourn
ers during the time of the services.
At the grave both the G. A. R. and
the Masons took part in the burial ser
vices. 1t was Mr.. Cages wish that
both orders should participate.
While not all of Topeka's population
had the pleasure of personally knowing
Mr. Gage he was known by reputation
to practically every family in this city,
and all Topeka mourns his DEATH

MRS. BROMICH'S SIDE.
She Has Something to Say About
Her Divorce Suit

Mrs. Susie Bromich, the plaintiff in
the BrOmich divorce case in the dis
trict court, denies the allegations of her
husband that she ran larger bills than
he was able to pay. On the contrary
she says that Mr.. BrOmich even took
away the grocery order book that she
had, and she had nothing in the house
to cook for a meal for herself and baby
when she finally decided to apply for
divorce.
Mrs. Bromich is a meek little woman,
or girl, rather, only IS years old. Her
attorney, Mrs. Lucia 0. Case, says that
the papers for the divorce were made
out a week ago, but that she persuad-
ed Mrs. Bromich to go back and try to
live with her husband again. Mrs. Case
further states that the action of Mr..
Bromich's attorney in going into court
yesterday and asking permission to go
home to get his working clothes was a
grand stand play, as he already had his
clothes, and had violated the injunction
of the court by going to the house on
Sunday.

1t was nearly midnight Monday when
Officer Pavey heard a noise on East
Fourth street in the neighborhood of
the Santa Fe depot. In the dim light
he saw a dog coming towards him.
There was something peculiar about
the canine and the officer decided that
he had a tin can tied to his tail.
The dog approached and Officer Pa
vey found a homemade, two wheeled
wagon hitched to him. In the wagon
was a little darkey boy about IL years
old and fast asleep. The officer shook
him. The boy kept on breathing heav-
lily.
The officer shook him again but it
was useless. The boy was thoroughly
intoxicated. The officer took him out
of the wagon and tried to walk him
around. He could not walk. The Off
Ger laid him down and rolled him over.
The dog nosed around his master. He
licked his face but the little fellow was
too drunk to notice the show of devo-
ton.
The policeman was somewhat puZ-
zled. He finally decided to load the boy
into the wagon and take him to the

WOE FOR HoRNADAY.
Governor Stanley Sends Him Letters
Which Cannot Be Read.

Governor Stanley received a letter to-
day from a man in eastern Kansas,
containing an earnest Endorsement of
a friend for a position at one of the
state Institutions That is to say, it is
presumed from one or two words in the
missive that such is it's purpose. but it
was impossible to ascertain just what
the author of the Letter meant to convey
because the governor was unable to
read it. The clerks In the office could
decipher no part of the letter, and the
governor finally disposed of it by send
ing it along with other letters to Grant
Hornaday, chairman of the board of
charities. An accompanying note con-
tanned the governors request that the
contents of the letter be given careful
consideration by the board, especially
the chairman.
Now, what'n Hornaday do? He can't
read it, unused the governor as he
smiled at the joke he had perpetrated.

GHOST OF A RAILROAD.
It Appears in Federal Court For Law
yers to Fight Over.

Judge Hook today entered a decree
of foreclosure against the Lawrence &
Emporia railroad and appointed Hiram
p. Dillon as special master to have
charge of the roads property. The de-
cree is made in suit brought against
the railroad company by John T. Dillon
and Peter Wyckoff. trustees of the par
ties who hold the bonds of the road.
The EmpOria & Lawrence railroad
consists principally of a right of way
which is overgrown with weeds. At
intervals along the right of way there
are piles of old rusty rails, and perhaps
a few rotting ties. Bright, sidney"
engines. and nicely vanished coaches
don't run over this road.
The road was projected early in the
eighties to connect the Union Pacific
with the Usage county coal fields, and
it was built from Lawrence to Carbon
dale. a distance of 81 miles. 1t was
bonded for $4,000 a mile, and now the
bondholders are holding the sack as
well as the bonds.
The road was never a success. A
little coal was hauled over it from time

ture. The road was abandoned, and in
the course of time went into the hands
of receivers. An effort was made by
the people living along the right of
way of the road to get an order from
the federal court to compel the receiver
to operate it. 1t was apparent that it
would be a losing business, however,
and the court would not make the or
der. Even the track was wasting away
and was being stolen. and a year or SO
ago the receiver ordered it taken up,
and the rails and what ties were left
were piled up along the right of way.
That is what passes into the hands of
the special master today.

TO HEAR GRIEVANCES.
State Board of Equalization Will
Meet in July.

State Auditor George E. Cole, having
acquitted himself with credit in the
early completion of the state railroad
assessment, is now engaged in prepar-
ing for the meeting of the state board
of equalization. This board meets in
July to hear persons or corporations
having grievances against the work of
the assessors in fixing valuations this
year.
This equalization board is composed
of the auditor, treasurer and secretary
of state. These three officers are also,
by virtue of their offices, members of
the board of assessors, hence it is i'm
probable that action taken by them as
assessors will be rescinded in the board
of equalization.

NOT A POLITICAL MOVE
Railroads Themselves Responsible
For the Increased Assessment

It has been charged that the state
board of railroad assessors has arbi-
trarily advanced the assessed valuation
of Kansas railroad property.
This charge is untrue, because, as
George Cole says, the railroads them
selves raised the assessment"
When asked to explain Mr. Cole said:
1.-The increase in the assessment is due
wholly to the increase of railroad prop
erty. The large shipping business in
Kansas last year compelled the roads to
purchase additional rolling stock This
was returned by the companies and
assessed Just as it has been for wears -
