why the Republican National Committee
Killed the Payne Resolution.

The Hon. Henry G.. Payne. Republican
National Committeeman for Wisconsin. who
introduced ut the meeting OF the Repub-
lican National Committee in Washington
tho resolution providing for having the
representation in Republican National
Conventions on the Republican vote In the sew
eral States. was at the Waldorf Astoria last
night. Mr.. PAYNE had worked very hard to have
the Republican National Committee adopt his
suggestions. Very many people agreed with
his ideas. which would reduce the number OF
colored delegates from Southern States. At
the last moment his resolution was sterped
upon by Chairman Hanna OF the Republican
National Committee. II has not been under
stood Just why MIR. Payne's resolutions were set
inside II appears that the Republican National
Committee thought that to put Mr.. Payne's
resolutions through might Jeopardize the col

MAY CAUSE TROUBLE.
United States Japanese Representa-
tive Criticises the Japanese.

Fort Scott, Feb 23-w. M. Rice,
Kansas newspaper man, who is in jap
an as a special representative of the
United States government Ion some Sc
cret mission, has, by writing a letter
home, placed himself in about the same
relation to the Japanese government a.
the ex-SpaniSh Minister De LONE
stands with the United States govern
ment, and there Is no doubt but that as
soon as the papers containing his let
ter reach the Japanese government.
Uncle Sam will be asked to recall him.
The letter was written to his father,
an old newspaper man of SO years ex-
perience, and until lately editor of the
Sedalia Capital. He gave it out for
publication in this city. and it has been
reproduced in some of the metropolitan
papers. One paragraph says:
The people (Japanese) are half
naked in the winter, and in the summer
the rural districts. The mass of the
people appear to be very poor, but are
probably, in comparative sense, not
as poor as they appear. The Japanese
have no national conscience and are de-
void of virtue and honesty. They are
the biggest liars and most egotistical
people on earth. The government is
badly behind in it's finances. and if Eng
land, Germany. Russia the United
States would have trouble with her
either one could crush her easier than
the United States did Spain. However,
they are trying to take on a new order
of things and may improve, but am
inclined to think civil war will have
to intervene before they amount to
much"
Mr.. Rice was, early in the Mckinley
administration, appointed commissioner
of immigration at Vancouver, British
Columbia. Under the Harrison admin
istration he was a member of the fed
eral court of claims. For many years
he edited the Fort Scott Monitor. The
writing of the letter is considered a ser
ious breach of international courtesy
and may affect the relations of the two
countries.

SMITH COUNTY ROMANCE
A Couple Reunite That Separated 6
Quarter of Century Ago.

Smith Center. Feb. PA remarkable
reunion occurred at this place one even
ing last week. More than 20 years ago
a young man by the name of G. w.
Burgess, and his bride, came from In
dianola, Iowa, to Philips county, Kan,
and settled on a homestead. After a
few months of hard struggle against
unfavorable condition, the young couple
returned to the old home where, through
the interference of mother-in-law,t they
were separated.
Mr.. Burgess came to this county where
he has lived the greater part of the
time since the separation, and for
period of 10 years he never even saw
his wife. During this time Mrs. Burgess
was married to another man, who per-
suaded her that a divorce was unneces-
sary, and two children were born as
result of the union.
A few weeks ago, Mr.. Otis Burgess,
son of the first union, returned from the
army and went to Iowa to visit his
mother. AS result of his solicitation
she was persuaded to leave the man
with whom she was living and return to
her rightful husband. A happy reunion
followed.

FRIGHTENED ELKS
Electric Car Jumps the Track on the
Viaduct.

One of the cars of the city railway,
heavily loaded with members of the
Topeka lodge of Elks returning after
accompanying the remains of Eugene
Wolfe to the Topeka cemetery, jumped
the track on the west incline of the
Sixth street viaduct yesterday evening
The car struck the iron railing with
considerable force, breaking it and run
ming up on the sidewalk. Fortunately
it did not overturn, and no one was
hurt, although several of the occupants
were badly scared. Had the car been
running at a greater speed it might
have broken through the outside rail-
ing and gone over the side of the via
duct.
This is the second car to jump the
track on the viaduct this week. The only
damage was to the viadUct railing and
the feelings OF the Elks, NAlo were COM
PEELED to walk UP town in the storm.
