good residences will be built in Topeka

others will build for rent The demand
for good houses for rent is greater than
a any time in the city'S history.

WORLDS GREATEST SHOWS
Ringing Bros World-Famous Big
Circus to Exhibit Here.

Ringing Brothers popular Worlds
Greatest Shows will exhibit in this city
again Wednesday, May II. It is need
less to say that this will be an amuse-
ment event of the first Importance.
Ringing Brothers circus is not only
the largest arenic institution in the en-
tire world, but it is also the most coIos-
sal travelling exhibition ever organized
either in ancient or modern times In
novelty, in up-tO-date uniQueneSS, in
the sumptuousness of its displays, in
the beauty Of its matchIess horses, in
the number of its high-priced perform
ers, in the wealth of its pageantry and
in the generosity of everything that
goes to make up superlatively great
exhibition, it has no equal on earth
Other shows have endeavOred to irni
tate it, but never with success. 1t has
an individuality all its own-a distinc-
tiveness that gives it a recognized char
acter for originality all over the land.
1t has repeatedly been said and with
truth that Ringing Brothers have
founded a new school of American
shOwmen, but it is a school which has
no successful pupils To announce the
coming of this great show is sufficient
to insure public attention The pictur-
ed preSentTnent of the five famous
Ringing Brothers upon an advertise
ment is an absolute guarantee of per-
fection in arenic amusement Unlike
other circus managers Ringing Broth
erS are never content to rest upon their
laurels. The present season has wit
messed a notable increase in the mag
nitude of the show as we'll a most
unprecedented gathering Of American
and OId-WOrId novelties. The three
rings, double stages. aerial spaces and
huge fourth-mile track are fairly alive
with diverting performances, of
character never before seen with any
arenic exhibition. The most thrilling
rnid-air exDIOitS the most graceful of
lady and gentlemen riders, the most as
tonishingly expert acrObats, vie in in
terest with the most sensational and
Wonder-creating exhibitions of trained
has never seen anything to compare
with the marvellous LOckhart elephant
actors. Marchand's pugilistic probosci-
dams or Herr SOuder's elephant brass
band Any one of these newly-tmported
great features would be sufficient to
stamp a show with merit and distfnc-
ton. Equally remarkable is O'Brien's
siXty-One horse act-Over three score
high-bred equines all performing in one
ring at one time, under the direction
of single trainer. A superb menag-
erie and a most exciting reproduction
of the exhflarating sports and racing
contests If imperial Rome are import
ant incidents OF the great show. while
the all new free street parade which in
augurates circus day is the most gorge
ously Respondent gratuitOus display
ever given in any land or any age

SWINDLERS HELD
In $4,000 Bonds For Defrauding the
Government

Philadelphia, April 29.-The hearing
of E1lery P. Ingham and ex-Assistant
District Attorney Harvey K Newett,
who are charged with attempting to
bribe Secret Service Agent William J.
McManus in connection with the great
counterfeiting conspiracy which was
unearthed in this city last week. has
been concluded and United States Com
missioner Edmonds increased the bail of
each defendant from $4,000, to $40, ,000
which they furnished.
Eight witnesses were called by Dis
trict Attorney Beck and most of their
testimony corrobOrated that of William
l. Kendig, one of the men charged with
counterfeittng the internal revenue to-
bacco stamps, who made a clean breast
of the whole conspiracy at yesterday 5
hearing. The main witness was William
J. McManus who is in charge of the
secret service force in this city. He told
in detail of the conference he had with
hewitt; how the money was paid to
him and how he led hewitt into beIiev-
ing that he CMcManus) was giving
hewitt the information desired in re-
gard to the movements of the secret
service men
At the conclusion Of the hearing At
torney Shields, for the Defendants ask
ed that the bail be reduced but this
was opposed by District Attorney Beck
who asked the commissioner not to low
er, but to increase it In further ad-
dressing the commissioner Mr.. Beck
said:
I had charged thees gentlemen with
conspiracy to defraud the government
but II this testimony be true it means
a great deal more than this 1t means
that they have been guilty of aiding
and abetting in the counterfeitine of in
ternal revenue stamps 1 think you will
agree with me that this is the most
damnable thing in your experience, as
1t is in mine Both of these gentlemen
have been honored by their government
and will say that if Messrs. Ingham
and hewitt are guilty they are as guilty
as any who are implicated in this mat
ter Morally. they are more so, for
they have relied upon their high posi-
tions to say to these men, For the sum
of s., 600 a month you can go ahead with
your infamous work and we will see
that you are not molested.' "

Washington, ltarca l-i'i:a STU,
a;;cn in ;hc Spanish cories leading
up to the resignation o! the Sagasla
ministry and threatening the life Of
the peace treaty, is said by officials
here to DE the direct result Of bad
management on the part of sponsors
for the treaty 1t is said that there
was no requirement either domestic
or included in the treaty itself for
the submission of the convention TO
the cortes for ratification On
the contrary the text of the
treaty says that it should be
ratified b7 the queen regent 1t is
further said that this very point was
discussed by toe peace commission
ers at Paris, the Spanish commits
soners desiring to require the rat-
6cation OF The cortes, but finally
taking the other course, perhaps,
with view TO avoiding the very
trouble which has overcome Sagasta.
Leaving aside the desire of our
people tc be regular and correct in
all attitudes il is question whether
our government would not actually
profit by the loss of the treaty, pro-
v:oed this loss could be charged to
the action Of the Spanish government.
The United States, it can be stated
on tee highest authority, would
refuse TO surrender tbe Philippines,
and, on the other hand would be
relieved froul TIE treaty obligation TO

4 FIGHT ON SAMPSON
Senator PettigreW Makes
Some Very Plain Criticisms.

Washington. Feb 2s.-Another
unsuccessful effort was made in the
executive session of the senate to-
day to confirm the nominations ad-
vancing Admirals Sampson and
Schley and other officers who par
ticipated in the Santiago campaign.
This result was due to the objections
Of Senators Butler, Pettigrew and
Stewart, who talked through the !ex-
ecutive session thus preventing the
taking Of vote The objection was
directed aimost entirely against Ad~
miral Sampson.
Senator Butter made the priucipai
speech of :ne session lie based
his objection to the advancement Of
Mr Sampson upon tie revelation Of
the published record Of the two CT;
Gers, referring with especia! empila
sis to the fact that AcniiraI Sampson
had himself been responsible for Ad-
miral Schley remaining at Cienfuegos.
Mr. Butler charged that the dispatch
making this order had been suppress.
ed and he asserted that it must have
been concealed in Mr.. SIMPSONS
behalf At any rate, the conduct of
Sampson in giving the order and then
holding SchIey responsible for the
delay was conduct unworthy of any
man and unbecomiug an aficer, and
Mr.. Butler said he could never give
bis assent to the confirmation Of the
nomination Of any man guilty of
such treatment u subordinate
The presentation of this point led
to controversy as to whether Samp.
son had ever Issued the order.
Senator Butler quoted the closing
paragraph Of Admiral Schley's state
ment reading "On May 81. re-
ccived telegram from the command,
er in-chief congratulatiag me upon
the success of locating the enemy's
feet at Santiago. If it was worthy

son in his letter of July 10: 1898,
some six weeks later
"No one can set around thai
logic said Mr. Pettigrew This
matter is Of record if the ether IS
not, and enough is known to show
the unfairness of Sampson without
regard &c the other matter at ;sl
