Cabinet Holds an Unusually
Long Session.
Plans For the Philippines I'm
der Discussion.
IEMBERS WON'T Talk
Say They Were Cautioned by
President
Not to Make Any Statement
About the Meeting.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The cabinet
meeting today lasted two hours and a
half, an hour longer than usual. Af-
ter the adjournment the members We're
unusually reticent. One of the mem
bers said the president had cautioned
them against any statement about the
meeting. 1t can be stated, however,
that the discussion related to the Phil
ippines and there is reason to believe
that it was in reference to military
and naval plans which are to be placed
in operation soon.
Fully an hour of the session was con-
sumed in a discussion of the political
outlook, especially in Ohio, some of the
members having received advtces from
their friends engaged in the campaign
conveying an accurate statement of ex-
listing conditions.
There was some talk as to the pre-
paratiOn of designs for the new custom
house at New York, but no attempt
was made to reach a conclusion.
The Philippine discussion was brought
about through newspaper publications
of recent date purpOrting to outline the
treaty or arrangement which Gen.
Bates has made with the sultan of
SulU archipelago.
Secretary Root took occasion to point
out the unsOundness and unfairness,
as he alleged, of the criticisms which
have been cast upon the friends of that
arrangement especially where they re
late to the question of slave holding in
the islands.

Judge VIM. Thomson In the
Congressional Race.
Would Represent the People Of
the Fourth District.
POPULAR OFFICIAL.
Politicians Plans Would Cut
Little Figure With Him.
Apt to Make Trouble For Mr.
Miller.

Usage county Republicans who have
visited Topeka this week have brought
the news that Judge William Thomson
of Burlingame is considering the idea
of becoming a candidate for congress
in the Fourth district next year.
Judge Thomson has long had con-
gressional aspirations and some of his
friends urged him to make the race last
year but he preferred to seek reelection
as judge of the district comprising
Usage and Wabaunsee counties.
Early this year there were various
complications in the district, concern
ing the census supervisOrship, which
caused some of the politicians to believe
that there would be a general warfare
inaugurated against the present incum-
bent, J. NJ. Miller
The situation has been smoothed out,
however, and the Usage county Repub-
ncans are reported to be for the nomin-
alton of Mr.. Miller.
This being true the candidacy Of
Judge Thomson would embarrass them
and would also have a tendency to dis
arrange some of their plans.
This condition is responsible for a
statement that Judge Thomson would
not be given a show if he should decide
to make the race this year. A group
of politicians from Usage county who
were discussing this subject with some
of the Republicans in this city this
week professed to be surprised at the
attitude of Mr.. Thomson One of them
who lives at Scranton said:
THAT would never do. The plans
have already been made and we are
for Miller's denomination. If the judge
should become a candidate he would
play havoc with the deals already
made. He must keep out of the race
this next year and give Mr.. Miller a
show for a second term"
With this sentiment the politicians
and the local workers from Usage seem
ed to agree and the conference ended,
the feeling being that Judge Thorn
son and his ambitions had been dis
posed of effectuaIlY.

Federal Prisoner Applies For Par

The finance committee makes the fol

B. F. Hime, who is serving a sentence
in the county jail for delaying the United
States mails, is trying to devise ways and
means whereby he can witness the parade
of the Twentieth Kansas when it arrives.
He is an old soldier and the fact that he
IS to be shut up in a Jail within two
blocks of the heroes and not even get a
glimpse of them, is very obnoxious to
him.
On this account he has written to Pres
1dent Mckinley asking to be pardOned in
time to witness the parade. He also says
he wants to get out of Jail in time to vote
this fall, as he is a good Republican. As
his letter only went to Washington this
week however, it is doubtful about his
request being granted

BANKERS ASK FAIR DEAL.
Want Express Companies to Pay Tax
on Money Orders

Washington, Oct. ga delegation of
bankers, consisting of F. w. Hayes.
president of Preston National Bank of
Detroit, Charles r. Harmon, First Ma
tional Bank of Council Bluffs, and Per
cival Kuhne, of Knauth, Knachod and
Kuhne, New York, representing the
convention of bankers that met recent
ly, were given a hearing today by Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Wilson
on the subject of the alleged discrim-
inatiOn in favor of express companies
in the matter of the payment of the
special war tax imposed upon bankers
and brokers for dealing in exchange.
Last spring, under an opinion of the
attorney general, based upon a decision
of the supreme court. the commissioner
held that the domestic money orders
and travellers checks issued by ex-
press companies, were in effect ordin-
airy checks and not exchange within
the meaning of the law and that for
their issue express companies were not
liable to the payment of the special tax
Against this ruling the bankers and
brokers take no exception, but they ar
gued that in the issue of foreign money
orders and travellers checks they were
selling exchange and were liable for the
tax the same as bankers and brokers'
Another point made against the Am
erican express company is that it buys
and sells foreign money. The laW-prO-
vides for the payment of the special
tax by bankers or brokers, buying or
selling exchange coined money" etc

officers of the law again on his track.
He was traced to St. Louis, down
through Louisiana, up into Indiana,
thence across the continent to the Pa
cific coast, where he was about to en-
list in the United States navy when
identified and captured through a de-
scription on one of the 100 cards sent
broadcast over the land by Chief Steele,
Immediately after Morrison's departure
from Topeka.
On the trial at Vernon it was proven
that q. few days before the death of his
wife, the Rev. Mr.. Morrison purchased
at a drug store in Panhandle City a
quantity of quinine and Strychnine. An
autopsy developed a considerable guam
tity of strychnine in the stomach of the
dead woman. This testimony, and that
of Miss Whittlesey, made up the prin-
cipal part of the states case. Morri-
son was convicted on September n,
1895 His lawyers and friends exerted
their best efforts to procure a reversal
from the state court of criminal ap-
peals, but the verdict of the lower court
was sustained. Much pressure was
brought to bear on Governor Sayers
for a Communication of the death penalty
sentence to one of life Imprisonment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrison were natives
of Illinois. Before they were married
she was Miss Minnie Brady. They were
married at Hillsboro, ILL.,, in 1880. ]. H.
Thompson of that place married a sis
ter of Mrs Morrison, and other rela-

SIXTEEN BANDS.
They VIII Furnish Music For
Twentieth Kansas Reception.

NJ. G. Holman, chairman of the mu-
sic committee for the reception, re
ceived notice today that three more
bands will be here to help swell the
volume of music when the Twentieth
arrives. The three are the Abilene,
Kansas City and Salina bands. This
makes a total of sixteen bands that
have sent formal notice to Mr.. Holman
that they will be present. The Salina
band sent their notification by wire at
noon today.
The list Of these bands is as follows:

ridge, Marshal'S, Girard. Mound City,
Alta Vista, Marion, Dispatch of To
peka, WabaunSee county band, Read

Salina.
In addition to these there are several
others that have sent word to private
individuals in Topeka that they are
coming, but the formal notification has
not been sent to Mr. Holman. There
will probably be quite number, also,
that will come without sending notifi-
cation.
These bands will all take part in the
parade, and after the parade is finished
and they get their dinners, those who
have sent in notification that they will
be here will be assigned to give concerts
in the band stands on the streets.
The stands will be erected at the
intersections of every cross street with
AdnSaS avenue all the way from
Fourth street to Ninth, and at Jack
son and Ninth near the Santa Fe
building, at Van Buren and Tenth,
south of the state house. and at Har-
rison and Ninth, west of the state
house and at possibly a few other
points.
These concerts will be given at 200,
800 and $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon
and from $50 to 1880 in the evening.
The Twentieth Kansas band is also
arranging to give two concerts in the
Grand opera house-one in the after

KANsAN IN INDIANA.
Mr.. Cook Says Hoosiers Talk a Great
Deal About Us.

w w. Cook. assistant state auditor,
returned yesterday from a, visit at his
old home, NOblesVille, Ind, having been
absent almost two weeks, renewing the
acquaintances of his youth and being
introduced to cousins he had never
seen.
"A man from Kansas feels proud to
go east said Mr.. Cook to a Journal
reporter. THE people back at my old
home talk more about Kansas than
they do about their own affairs. Our
politicians are as well known among
many of the people as are the Indiana
leaders. Our crop reports are eagerly
sought after and anything in the way
of news from Kansas is always inter-
esting to them.
"The one subject which people there
and on the train talk about constantly
is the Twentieth Kansas. The deeds of
the Kansas fighters are recited in detail
and every one seems to have a good
word for our boys. I think I heard
more than 100 people say that they re-
GREETED their inability to be present and
see the reception which the Twentieth
receives on the arrival in Topeka. / in
vited everybody I saw to come" con-
cluded Mr.. Cook.

PAPER MAN.
He Was Received Today For Use of
Medical Students.

A paper-mache model of a well de-
veloped man about six feet tall was
received at the Kansas Medical
college today. Every nerve, vein, ar
terry and other anatomical element of
the human body is reproduced with ex-
act coloring and properly placed in the
model. and all are detachable. The
model can be separated into hundreds
of parts and put together again. 1t
will be used to famaliarize students
with anatomical locations and condi-
tions before they are initiated into the
art of dissection.
The model is an imported affair." and

living in that vicinity probably suppos-
ed it was a subject" for the dissecting

a weeks campaigning in the southeast

Judge West said to a Journal re-
porter today: 1.-THE people in the SOUTH
eastern. part of the state are much in
terested in the reception which Topeka
is planning for the Twentieth Kansas.
The last thing I heard when J left Fort
Scott was that an effort was being
made to charter a special train to bring
the people from that and adjoining
towns to Topeka for the reception.
There will be a multitude Of people from
that part of the state because a ma
jority of the regiment comes from down
there. Every town is talking of the
event and not a cross road in a half

To Tell of the Disaster to the Steamer
Zurich.

Christiania, october 27-Detai1s of the
laundering of the steamer Zurich have
reached here. It appears that when her
fate was evident the crew constructed
two RATS. The captain, three engi-
groes, with two dogs, went with the
first and the mate, boatswain, stocker,
one white seaman and five blacks with
the second. Neither raft was supplied
with food or water and both were buff
feted by the waves for four days, the
crews starving.
The first raft was picked up near the
Bigton islands on October p, with only
the captain alive. The second was
washed ashore the following day, bear
ing no trace of humanity except the
eOrpse of a negro.

the wreck of the steamer Morgan City

The steamer was outward bound from
