was proposed, but never took tangible
shape. That necessitated the occupa-
ton of very high points. For commu-
nication by Marconrs plan sixty feet
is the extreme height, and fog, mist
or rain has no effect i'm stopping the
messages.
That we need inter-island communi-
cation all admit, but nothing has been
done in this direction since Barthola-
news abortive inter-island cable.
Marconis plan does away with the
necessity of a cable entirely and so
reduces the cost of installation to a
minimum. 1t is amply worth trial and
our electricians should keep them
selves abreast of the times by making
the trial. Marconis efforts are to ex-
tend wireless telegraphy for hundreds
of miles. With his thirty-two miles
success we can rest satisfied for it
puts in our grasp something which we
have needed for years. Applied sci
ence is wonderful.

CHAMBERS HAS WON.

The news of the Samoan situation
which reached us long before it reach
ed the outside world, has somewhat
upset the calculations of those who
dreamed that the question of rival
kingships would be settled by a long
diplomatic wrangle. Admiral Kautz
has cut the Gordian knot with a few
shells, and all the talk of withdrawing
Chief Justice Chambers has gone like
early winter snow before the sharp rays
of the sun. He has been supported,
and his decision has been indicated.
If he chooses to stay on, well; if he
chooses to retire of his own free will,
he can do so; but his own countrymen
and the British have seen to it that he
has had all the support that the rep
resentative judicial authority should
have from the military force of the
nations represented.
That the quick action of Admiral
Kautz has been somewhat of a surprise
is rendered evident by the fact that
DR.. Solf, who is to succeed Dr. Raffel,
as president of the municipality of
Apia, was still lingering in London on
March 30th, when the news arrived. He
was there in conference with Lord Sal
isbury, though he knew that DR.. Raffel
had left Samoa and was on his way
home. A telegram from Berlin has
sent him promptly across the Atlantic
to Washington. He may be expected
to pass through these Islands as soon
as rail and steamer can bring him.
The upshot of the Samoan affair Is
very likely to end in the disruption of
the tripartite agreement and the di-
vision of the Islands between the three
powers. 1t is Blaine's solution propos-
ed many years ago In matters of
this kind the wishes of the Samoans
will not be considered, except they
chime with the policy of the individual
powers. The Pacific Islands will be
finally divided up as Africa is being di-
vided up. The civilizing powers take
what they want and mold the people
taken according to their own plans
If they will not be nodded, they are
broken, but in either case their indi-
viduality disappears.

MONDAY, APRIL 10, 1899.

The 100000 which Congress appro-
priated for Pearl Harbor will not go
very far, but it can be made to go as
far as possible. There is nothing like
a beginning. Once a start is made 9th
er things will follow. AS things now
stand the United States needs nothing
Whether the Philippines remain por-
ton of the United States or not, the
Hawaiian Islands will remain so as
long as the Great Republic has a grasp
to hold, and it is here that she can
keep repair shops for her navy, which,
from the nature of things, must be the
most powerful and also the most no
BILE on the bosom of the Pacific.

Though Jamaica is out of our sphere
of interest as a rule, it is worth while
considering the constitutional struggle
that is going on there. The government
of the colony is at loggerheads with
the elective members of the house upon
tariff measures, and is bent upon car
rying it's scheme through. There is A
very strong party in the colony which
is DESTROYS of annexation to the Unit
ed States, and the present crisis will
add recruits to it. The large negro pop
ulation is turbulent and ignorant. Some
thirty years or so ago Jamaica was
the scene of an attempted rebellion,
which cost some lives and spoiled the
career of it's then governor, General
Eyre. 1t looks very much as if the
present governor had a seat of thornes.

When the cemetery question comes
out of the theoretic stage into the
practical, it will be found that the
Kahauiki site will be the one taken,
Those who urged the site have simp-
ly bided their time. 1t was just as
well that all the others should be con-
sidered and their their advantages or
their disadvantages be discussed. When
all have been considered the Kahaui-
ki site furnishes the satisfactory solu-
ton at the least expense. But there
will be another site wanted in the di-
rection of Diamond Head. Lastly We
ought to have a crematory which would
relieve both cemeteries. We are fair
ly on the road to getting these i'm
provements.

This evening or tomorrow morning
we should hear of the final overthrow
of Aguinaldo unless he has retired into
the mountain Businesses of the inte-
rior of Luzon. He may elect to throw
one final cast of the die, or he may
essay his escape to carry on a guerilla
warfare for some months to come But
in dealing with Americans he deals
with a totally different race to the
Spaniards. The Americans will give
him no rest and can prove as good
bush fighters as his own troops. The
move of General Otis in obtaining pos
sion, by purchase, of the fotilla of
small Spanish gunboats will enable the
United States forces to effectually pa
troll the cost of Luzon and cut off the
insurgents who may stick to Aguinal-
do from the outside world. His goose
is practically cooked and the Islands
will have peace.

PAoLA CLERK IS EASY.
Is Held Up and Robbed Twice in
Month by the Same Gang.

Paola, June THE restaurant at the
Memphis depot was robbed last Satur-
day morning about 4:30 o'clock. Her
bert Smith, the night clerk, was taken
to a box car and locked in by three men
and the store looted of $40 in cash,
revolver, and a quantity of cigars and
tobacco and considerable food.
After the robbers departed Smith at
tracted attention by his cries and was
released.
Marshal Culbertson and Deputy Gill,
with a posse, were soon on the trail and
late in the evening the three men were
discovered fifteen miles northwest of
town. The revolver and some of the
cigars and tobacco were found with
them.
one of the men is Steve WEIGH. an ex-
brakeman on the katy" His uncle.
L. w. WEIGH, is division superintendent
of the Katy and his father is con-
ductor on the same road south from
Parsons. Welchs home is at Parsons
and his parents are said to be highly
respected there.
The other two are not known here,
but are typical hobos.
WEIGH confesses the robbery and
boasts that he was the principal in the
holdup of the same restaurant about a
month ago, at which time Smith was
held at the point of a gun while the
store was robbed. He will be charged
with burglary and robbery on two
counts. His mother is expected here

MAY BE REsOLD.
Effort Being Made to Have Sale OF
Capital Set Aside.

An amended petition was filed in the
suit of t. w. Harrison against John r.
Mulvane in the district court today,
making D. w. Mulvane, as owner of
the Topeka Daily Capital, a party to
the suit, and asking Judge Hazen to
order a new sale of the Capital plant for
the benefit of the creditors of the old
Topeka Capital company.
+ Mr.. Harrison was attorney for the To-
peka Capital company during it's exist
ence, and obtained judgment against
1t for $4,000 for attorneys fees. The
company was inSolVent and the judg-
ment is uncollected. Mr.. Harrison
brought suit against John r. Mulvane,
as trustee of the Topeka Capital COM
Mr. Mulvane held the fourth mortgage
on the Topeka Capital plant, and he
bought in the other three for about 49,.
OUO less than their face value. Then
when the property was sold at masters
sale D. w. Mulvane bid it in at So, 00O
the face value of the mortgages.
Mr.. Harrison claims that if John r.
Mulvane bought in any mortgages,
while he was trustee of the property.
the discount which he secured ought to
have gone for the benefit of the com
pany, and thus the outside creditors of
the Topeka Capital company might
have secured something for their claims.
Mr.. Harrison is represented by D. r.
Hite, while w. c. Perry, ex-United
States district attorney, is attorney for
Mr.. Mulvane.
D. w. Mulvane admitted on the stand
tIldL ne ndU knowledge OF the facts in
the case before he bought the property,
and on this showing Judge Hazen today
allowed Mr.. Hite to amend the plain
tiff's petition making D. w. MuIvane a
defendant in the suit. and asking that
the Capital De re-sold.
On the outcome of this suit several
other claims depend. The unsecured
claims against the Topeka Capital COM
pany amounted to just about enough
to use up the discount which John r.
MulVane secured in buying in the mort
cages. One of these claims is a judg-
ment held by the Remington Paper
company amounting to over $4,000. Sew
eral suits have been brought on the
strength of this judgment against the
stockholders of the old Topeka Capital
company under the double liability law.
Among the number against whom suits
of this character are pending are ex-
Governor Morrill,, Cyrus Leland, Arthur
Capper and others. If this suit is made
to hold against Mr.. Mulvane, it is said
that the other judgments against the
Topeka Capital company can be collect
ed from him as long as the $4,000 dis
count which he secured lasts, unless
Judge HaZen should order the property
sold again.

icals as in strawberry, with the addi-
zion of little nitric ether.
Peach F'lavor-Oil of bitter almond
prussic acid and acetate of amyl.
Root Beer-Artificial oil of winter
green, sassafras and a few drops of
anise oil, with sugar coloring.
Lemon FlavOr-Lemon OIL acetic
ether, tartaric acid and yellow aniline
Orange Flavor-Similar to the lemon

was used.
Vanilla Flavor-Vanaline, with burnt
sugar as coloring matter
Pear or Banana FlaVOr-Acetate of
amyl, oil of bitter almonds and sugar
