Juggles With Words In Ex-
planning His Position.

Kansas City, No. June pa Star
special from Carthage, Mo, says:
In an interview here today, w. A.
PETER, fromer United States senator
from Kansas, denied that he had join d
the Republican party, in the words: Il
have not said for myself nor have I
authorized any other person to say for
me, either that 1 had left the Populist
party or Joined the Republican party.
What I did say and do now say and
expect to keep saying, is that as a fac
tor in national politics, the Populist
party is a cipher; that it is a mere ad-
junct to the Democracy; briefly, that
for all national purposes, the Populist
party will be swallowed in the Demo-
cratic party and as between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties, 1 have
always been against the Democrats.
Believing that the contests of the fu-
ture will be practically between these
two parties. I expect to do all that I
can honorably. to keep the Democratic
party out OF power in the nation
Mr.. PETER also declared himself as
strongly in favor of expansion. He
spoke on the political issues of the day
at the Chautauqua here this afternoon.

Dreyfus Mystery.

London, June 22.-The Vienna corre-

THE Austrian war office has learned
that the evidence of NJ. Casimir-Perier
upon the Dreyfus trial will be startling
1t will be shown that he holds the key
to the affair, which has hitherto been
withheld in order to prevent a serious
conflict between France and Germany.
m. Casimir-Perier will depose that
a German official of high social and mill

FROM MR.. DAVIS.
President of Kansas Mutual Talks
About Sale of City Building.

Mr. ]. p. Davis. president of the Kan
sas Mutual Life Insurance company
which bid S45,O10 for the city building
said today:
our contention in the matter was as
follows: The bid of the knights and
Ladies of Security was '$45, 100, $4,000 to
$4,000 cash. the remainder to be paid
by terms that might be agreed upon by
the officers of the society and members
of the city council. You will observe
nc mention OF interest on deferred pay
FnentS- Had the council accepted the
bid without modification the members
could not have expected interest on de-
ferred payments
THE bid of the Kansas Mutual Life
Insurance company was S45. .01O in cash
without any conditions Suppose that
our company should have asked for
any time on part of the purchase
money we would have been required
under the terms of the bid to pay in
terest on any deferred payments so as
TO make it equal to a cash bid The
difference to the city in the two bids, one
cash. the other in deferred payments
as the council would need the money for
the new building. without interest,
would be at least 81, 600.
We do not find fault with DR.. War
ner nor Mr.. kirkpatrick for amending
their bid when they had the oppOrtun-
ity by agreeing to make it cash or s
per cent interest on deferred payments
which is equal to cash
ITO take a charita BILE view of the mat
ter referring to members of the council
it would seem that at least a part of
them did not understand that under the
original bid of the knights and Ladies
called upon to pay interest on deferred
payments do not wish it to be un-
derstood that the council intended to
aEeat our company unfairly but care

SUGAR KINGS QUARREL.
Oxnard Disputes Assertions of n. o.
Havemeyer.

San Francisco, June 22-Henry t
Oxnard. president of the American Beet
Sugar Producers association, has pre-
pared a reply to H. O. Havemeyer's
statement before the Industrial commits
sion at Washington. He fatty denies
many of Mr. Havemeyer's statements
and accuses that gentleman of seeking
to destroy the American beet sugar in
dustry, in order to foster the refineries
that handle foreign raw material, be-
sides attempting to divert public at
tention from the sugar trust by attack
ing the tariff.
IN conclusion, Mr.. Oxnard says:
IF Mr. Eavemeyer had said that
keen and losing competition in business
led to the formation of trusts he would
be right, for the tariff has nothing to do
with the formation of trusts
