FATHER HENRY RESIGNS.
Gives Up Passionate of German Cath
Ollie Church.

Rev. Francis Henry, pastor of the
German Catholic church of this city
since its establishment, has been COM
PEELED by ill health to resign his pastor
ate.
Just how soon Father Henry will
leave here has not been determined.
but it will be some time during the
summer He will probably rest for
awhile before taking up another pastor
ate, and then it will have to be one
where the duties are not arduous as
those of st. Joseph'S church In this
city.
From the fact that what will be one
of the handsomeSt church edificeS in
the city is now in the course of erection
for the German Catholic congregation,
it is particularly unfortunate that
Father Henry should be obliged to give
up his work here at this time. The
ned church will in reality stand as
monument to his efforts, as it's building
is the result of his faithful work in the
interests of the congregation.
Father Henry first came here in the
early sos as assistant pastor of the
Church of the Assumption. Shortly
after his coming the present German
Catholic church was established, and he
was given the pastorate.
Father Henry has been seriously i'll
for several weeks, but is now recover
ing. His retirement from church work
here will be regretted by Catholics of
Topeka generally.

WAR TROPHIES POUR IN.
National Museum Greatly Embar-
raised by Their Abundance.

Washington, May 31.-Officials of the
National Museum are actually embar-
raised by the abundance of trophies of
the Spanish war. Immediately after the
Cuban campaign closed these relics be-
gan to arrive and nearly every day
since a number have been received at
the museum. These relics represent OBJ
jects of every conceivable kind and
range from suit of clothing to an en-
tire collection of Porto Rican band in
struments. made of native wood. Many
of these relics have been placed on ex-
hibition and some interesting exhibits
have been relegated to the garnet to
make room for the new arrivals.
Already the museum is crowded for
space, and if the collection of Spanish
relics is added to they will be placed in
the basement and the boxes containing
them will be opened.
Government officials and private citi-
zens continue sending arms and equip
ment to the museum and with the num-
Der now on hand it would be possible
to equip a regiment at a moments
notice, but it would be a grOteSQue body
of fighting men, as the arms represent
periods from the reformation to the
present time.

ONE MORE TRIAL.
Jamaica Will Make Another
Effort to Secure
A Reciprocity Treaty With the
United States.
DELEGATION COMING
Government Representatives to
Visit Washington.
If They Fail, Then a Union
With Canada.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 31.-The leg
islature has decided to Immediately send
a delegation to Washington for the pur-
pose of endeavoring to negotiate a reel
procity treaty, but in view of the eau
ton of the minister of the colonies, Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain that probably the
American conditions will involve loss
of revenue, which it is impossible the
colony could equalize from other
sources, the representatives have also
accepted the principle of the govern
ment's alternate scheme for promoting
closer trade relations with Canada by
creating agencies and substituting steam
ers as the first steps towards incorpor-
alton into the Dominion, should the eff
forts to secure American reciprocity
fail.
Public feeling strongly prefers reci-
procity with the United States, but the
representa- tives, realizing the possibility
of the failure to reach an agreement in
this direction, have decided to provide
an alternate scheme in accordance with
the governments suggestion.
The governor, Sir Augustus w. L..
Hemming, comedies that reciprocity is
preferable. if practicable.

FIGURES ON QUAY'S SLATE
Pennsylvania Senator'S Plan to Or
ganize the Next Congress.

Washington, May 31.-Since the re-
suit in Wisconsin, eastern politicians
have begun to talk OF Col. Henderson
as the probable speaker. and the sim
ultaneous arrival of Matt Quay and
Col. GroSvenor has revived the talk of
an agreement based on the speakership
for the Mississippi valley and the two
patronage offices of clerk and door
keeper. The Quay slate is said to be
Henderson for speaker, Mcdowell of
Pennsylvania for clerk, a New Yorker
for doorkeeper, the postmaster from
Ohio, chaplain from Michigan, and
Sergeant-at-armS from Wisconsin.
Leaving New York out of the question,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania.
and Michigan have SO votes. With New
York there would be "a, or only IA less
than a majority.
1t is said to be the purpose of Quay
to make an offer to Platt to get Sher-
dOOrkeeper, and if this is not accepted
to give the place to Ohio and let the
postmaster go to New England or the
far west.
Much depends on whether Hopkins is
overthrown by the Wisconsin declara-
ton or continues to make an active
canvass. Should he develop strength
against Henderson after all, Quay is
still willing to transfer his affections.
but since the vote at Milwaukee it Is
undOubted that Pennsylvania is bar
gaining with the friends of the Iowa
man, whose boom has taken on large
proportions.
1t is said that if Sherman is tracta-

lowance of the appeal in the case of
Hobbs VS.. the Esquimalt & Nanaimo
Railwaycompanyby the supreme court
of Canada, E. V. Hobbs, a second hand
dealer of Douglas street in this city,

Several years ago Hobbs bought 100
acres of land comprised in the Esqui-

purchase was made without reserva-

the company included reservation of all
coal and other minerals Hobbs refused
to accept this and also refused the re-
turn of his purchase money, suing for
specific performance of contract The
highest tribunal of Canada has now

In the state house basement corrldor'

the odors ascend in choking volumes

Amateur Ae ronaut Meets With a
Serious Accident

Twiss son of a former mayor of Kan
sas City, Kan, borrowed a balloon and
attempted an ascension and parachute
jump yesterday at Chelsea Park, a SUI
burban resort on the Kansas side of the

the spectators, fully 500 feet, when the
balloon was caught in a sudden blast
of wind and capsized. The parachute
failed to work and young Twiss, the
balloon and the parachute tumbled to
the earth.
Luckily the youn aerOnaut and his
trappings fell first into the branches of
a big tree, through which Twiss came
tumbling to the ground. He was picked
up unconscious and carried to a hos
pital The surgeon found several bro
ken bones, but Twiss has recovered
his senses and the doctors say he will
live.

STANLEY realized that the man named

BUDDHIST BIBLE.
TFrom the New York Press.1

rom the New I OTk 9T6SS.J
In 1857 Mindon- min, king of Burmah,
erected a monument near Mandalay
called the Kutho -daw. There he built
700 temples, in each of which there is a
slab of white marble. Upon these 700
dhist bible-a vast literature in itself,
equal to about six copies of the Holy
Scriptures.
The marble bible is engraved in the
Pail language, thought to be that spo-
ken by Buddha himself 500 B. c.. Pho
tographs of some of the inscriptions
Mueller, perhaps the greatest inguist
in all the world, has examined them.
But alas! for all his human ingenuity
and perseverance. If his majesty Min
don-min thought to perpetuate the
teachings of the great Buddha by caus-
ing them to be craven on the rock he
nOurished a vain ambition.
This is certainly the largest known
copy of any portion of literature. Even
the National Encyclopedia in China, in
5000 volumes, occupies comparatively
small space. To reach the other end of
the limits of the printers art we need
only remember 1.-The Smallest Bible in
the World" and the diamond edition of
Catullus, Tibullus and Propertius.
To engraVe the bible of Buddha on the
marble slabs in the temple of Kutho-
daw must have cost many thousands
of dollars, but these sermons in stone
are easily outclassed by a copy of the
New Testament, which, beautifully
printed, can be bought for rs cents, and
if carefully cherished will last many
generations.

MAY BUILD A PRISON.
Oklahoma Tired of Having Kansas
Take Care of Her Convicts.

Oklahoma officials are agitating the
subject of building a penitentiary, be-
lieving that it is false economy for that
territory to pay to the state of Kansas
$40, 900 annually for the care of prison
ers. Oklahoma prisoners are now con-
fined in the Kansas penitentiary, the
territory paying large sums annually
for such privilege.
The territory now owes the state of
Kansas $44, 900 on warrants not paid for
want of funds. The paper is regarded
as first class because Oklahoma will
pay the debt. Auditor Hopkins of the
territory estimates that this amount
will reach $50, 900 for the two years now
drawing to a close. because the number
of prisoners has increased with the in
crease of population in the territory.

SAGE NOT YET SATISFIED.
Despite Changes in Franchise Tax
Law He Calls Tt Miscellaneous

New York, May 31.-Russell SAGE

erything under the sun, then all right;
but it isn't.

UNCLE SAM STANDS TIPS.
Recognizes Those to Pullman Car
Porters as Legitimate Charges.

Washington. May Slips given to Pull
man car pOrterS by government employees
while performing official duties are con-
sidered legitimate charges against Uncle
Sam.
They are the only tips which are ac-
corded this distinction. This Interesting
fact was CLEANED today by the display by
a government official of bill of ex-
penses which he intended to present for
a recent trip which he made in the ser
vice of the government. He exhibited the
statement evidence of the close
manner in which the government did bust
ness. He had to present a receipt for
every expenditure made, even a receipt
from the Pullman car conductor for his
berth. The only item for which there was
not receipt was Tips. Soc
When asked what the tips were for, the
official said: They were tins which
gave to Pullman car porters. The govern
ment allows those. but they are the only
tips which are allowed If tip the waiter
at my hotel or the man who carries my
bag, the tip comes out of my own pocket
but the tipping of Pullman car porters, a
quarter for each journey made on a
sleeper, is such a recognized system that
the item for such tips is. always allowed
by the government officials when traV-
cling on government business.

CANADA LEFT OUT.
Boundary Negotiations Carried On
Direct With England.

Washington, May 31.-The officials
here are unwilling to be drawn publicly
into a controversy over the Canadian
boundary question, even though the
matter has been made the subject of a
statement in the house at Ottawa by
Sir Wilfred Laurier, which in the
binary course would relieve the depart
ment from the obligation to maintain
silence. They take the view, however,
that the tendency of the negotiations
with Great Britain on this subject make
in inadviSable at this time to make
public the official record of the proceed
ingS of the joint commission. There is
no disposition to- question the accuracy
of the statement made by Sir Wilfred
as to the position respecting arbitra-
ton of the Canadians But this is sub
ject to the important qualification that
the statement referred to a state of
affairs existing when the commission
was in session and at it's termination
and not later Since then there have
been negotiations directly between the
British government and the govern
ment of the United States conducted of
late through Mr.. Choate and Lord
Salisbury in London and of what has
taken place there, Sir Wilfred Laurier's
statement takes no account
1t is reiterated in the most earnest
manner by the officials here that in
these negotiations Canada stood in the
way of an agreement which the British
authorities after mature consideration
had accepted as eminently fair and
just.
Respecting the Canadian demand for
the possession of Pyramid harbor on
the Lynn canal pending the decision of
an arbitration, or some other competent
authority that her title is good, it can
be stated that the position of our gov
eminent remains unchanged. 1t does
not recognize any parallel between the
Canadian claim to Pyramid harbor and
our own claim to Dyea and Skaguay.
OF the latter we have been in undis-
puted possession for many years: in
fact our title has never before been
questioned. Canada on the other hand
never asserted any claim to Pyramid
harbor until lately and has never been
in even temporary possession, so that
the legal aspects of the claims are re-
garded as entirely different.
The proposition from the British side
to declare a neutral strip of the coun-
try leading from the head of the Lynn
canal back across the mountains to the
Canadian line has not commended
itself to the state department which
fails to see why the United States
should voluntarily surrender absolute
title to territory belonging to the United
States.
