VICTORIA'S NEW YACHT.
Vessel Soon to Be Turned Out of the
Dockyard-Is 400 Feet Long.

London, Feb. 20.-Queen Victoria has
been satisfied heretofore with a very
ordinary pair of yachts, which have
done little other service than carry her
from the mainland over to the Isle of
Wight upon the occasion of her trips
to Osborne castle. 1t may be that the
splendor of the German emperor s
yacht HohenzOllern prompted her
majesty to go into yacht building, but
al any rate there will soon come from
the ways at the Pembroke dockyard a
new yacht of 423 tons greater displace-
ment than that of Emperor Williams.
The British vessel will have a total
displacement of 1900 tons, will be 420
feet long and so feet beam. 1t will be
the first of the royal vessels propelled
by screws, the old yachts being side
wheeled affairs. 1t will also differ from
these old craft, the newest of which,
the Osborne, was built in 1870, in that
it is being built of steel, whereas they
are of wood. The new royal yacht will
be a graceful craft, with three tunnels
and three masts and fitted out sumptu-
ously and artistically.
This yacht will be christened by one
of the royal princesses, and will prob
ably be called the Enchantress, al
though that name is vigorously criti-
cised and may be cast aside for the
Britannia. The launching will occur
early in the spring and the yacht will
be ready for the queen about midsum-
rner.

were also outlined, through which the
cost of production would be materially
decreased. The way in which the pub
lie is being benefited does not appear.
The fact that while competition has
been stif1ed in one direction, that ex-
istent in the already overcrowded labor
market has been increased by the ap-
template Again, the knowledge that
nearly every piece of carpentry work
done henceforward must cost more than
it did previous to the formation of the
trust, and every piece of wire fencing
that is strung must represent a larger
outlay by the farmer or landowner
While it may not retard building or
fence making, will certainly not en-
courage them. But it is as an obstacle
to an enlarged export business that the
trust experiment will work the greatest
INJURY, according to the judgment of
those familiar with our export COM

Wichita, Feb. 2O-Saturday there was
filed in the district court d petition in
a $4,000 damage suit brought by John
w. Cason against the Burton Stock Car

The safe is a small one, about three

TO FIGHT WHISKY TRUST.
Wholesale and Retail Liquor Dealers
to Organize a Company.

New York, Feb. 20-WhoIesale and re-
tail whisky dealers are preparing to
fight the trust. In order to carry out
their purpose they will soon organize a
company with $1,000, 900 stock and ST.
500, 600 bonds for the purpose of ac-
quiring the plants of wholesalers. If it
is deemed advisable they will also buy
or build an Independent distillery, which
will be untrammeled by the restrictions
of either trust.
Back of the corporation, which is to
be known as the Wine and Whisky
Trading company, is a committee of or
ganization consisting of Henry E. Luy-
ties, John H. w. Meyer, Albert w.
Lemk, Henry Won Minden, Christopher
F. Bode, Henry KrOeger, Henry Well
brock, Diedrich Knabe, John Seisen-
weber and ]. P. Friedhoff. Five MEM
bers of the committee are wholesale
dealers and the other five retailers.
According to the plan the stock of the
new company will be sold only to deal
ers, and it will be fully paid up. No
dealer will be permitted to take less
than $500 nor more than $25, 600 in
shares. The subscriptions are to be eff
fective when 100000 has been sub
scribed.
A circular issued today says that
there will not be 81 of "watered" stock,
no bad accounts and no debts.

TROOPS MUST STAY.
Withdrawal From Cuba Postponed at
Gen. Brooke's Request.

New York. Feb, 2o.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Upon the
recommendation of Major General Brooke
the withdrawal of American troops from
Cuba has been postponed.
General Brooke was recently directed
to consult with his department command
ers in regard to the number of men to be
retained in each department to assist the
Cubans in preserving peace and order. His
reply shows that he believes troops should
be continued in the island at least until
the Cuban army has disbanded.
General Brooke's recommendation will
be needed by the authorities, but they are
extremely anxious to get many of the
regiments north possible before the
rainy season sets in: In any event it will
be necessary to withdraw the volunteer
regiments. among which is the Two Hun
bred and Second New York, upon the rat
ification of the peace treaty by the cortes.
General Sternberg said that he mad re-
ceiVed no reports from Cuba relative to
the health conditions, other than those al
ready made public, but he is anxious that
as many troops as possible shall be brought
north at early date.

HUSBANDS FAIL TO APPEAR.
Two Kansas Women Find Themselves
in Sorry PARLIAMENT.

Kansas City. Feb. 2O.-Mrs. William
Snyder and Mrs. Thomas Carleton OF
Pfttsburg, Kan, are considerably wor-
ried about their husbands, whom they
confidently expected to find when they
arrived at the union depot Saturday
morning, and who had not put in an
appearance at a late hour last night.
In the meantime the two women are
without funds and are being cared for
by the depot authorities while the
search for their missing Hege lords is
being prosecuted vigorously by the po-
lice.
Snyder and Carleton came to Kansas
City from Pittsburg a few days ago in
search of employment. They wrote to
their wives the latter part of last week
that they had secured positions in a
packing house and requested them to
sell their effects and come at once to
Kansas City. They did SO, sending
ahead letters notifying their husbands
that they would arrive on the Missouri
Pacific train early Saturday morning.
They arrived, but no husbands came.
They went to the postoffice and found
that their letters had not been delivered.
They took an inventory of the cash on
hand and found that their combined
capital was 20 cents.

HOW THEY ADVANCE WAGES.
[From the Boston Transcript.l

L
Closely following the announcement
of an advance in the wages of the
American Steel and Wire company en-
ployes comes the report of higher prices
for wire and wire nails made by that
concern. This latest move of the trust
was confirmed by a representative of
the company in an interview with the
Transcript, SO that it would seem as
though the public is expected to make
up for any seeming generosity that the
management may see fit to indulge in
and that the dividends are to be kept
intact, regardless of any extra cost of
manufacture or government. The new
prices call for 81 per ton advance, max
ing the cost of wire 40 per 100 POUNDS
base at mills, and of wire nails 81 80
per hundred 1t was asserted at the

"IRONQUILL" IN NEW YORK.
New York World Says America Is
Just Finding Him Out.

New York, Feb. 20.-The New York
World gives a Topeka man a great
send off, publishes his picture and says
after printing the Dewey and other
poems: How many of US know that
Eugene Ware has written a whole
volume of humorous verses? That it has
passed through nine editions?
How many know that it has created
a sensation in London and that an edi-
ton has been issued there with copious
annotatiOns designed to enlighten the
British intelligence as to the subtleties
of American POPULARITY? That of itself
is smile provoking here. A great many
people must have bought the book
otherwise it would not be in it's ninth
edition But here it's author has not
been in any public way recognized as
a humOrist or poet of Importance. In
London his name is celebrated and his
humor everywhere talked about. Just as
London discovered Joaquin Miller for
us and taught us to appreciate, so it
has now discovered "Ironquill," and
given us a new lesson in the literature
of our own land. The review is signed
by George Cary Eggleston.

TO EXPOSE GILLETT.
Troxel Said to Have Fallen Out With
the Cattle King and Coming North.

Kansas City, Feb. 20.-The creditors of
Grant G. Gillett, the Kansas brass band
cattle king, who disappeared several
months ago and who is now living in
Old Mexico, heard today that Gillett
and c. r. Troxel, his attorney and COM
panion, had engaged in quarrel about
a week ago which came very near end
ing fatally for Gillett.
According to Gillett's friends in Abb
lene, all has not been pleasant between
TroXel and the fugitive since they went
to the Southern Republic together. The
strained relations were broken altogeth-
er few days ago. During the alterca-
ton a pistol was a prominent feature,
and it, the story says, was in the hands
of Gillett's companion
TroXel, it is reported, left Chihuahua
in great rage and was expected to ar
rive in Kansas City yesterday. Several
stock yard men who We're interested in
the case tried to find him at the hotels,
but failed.
Many ugly stories are af1oat in Abb
lene, which connect others with Gillett
who, it is declared, received good
share of the plumber. These men are
uneasy, and, according to rumor, have
made every preparation to fight TroXel
and the stories he may tell, by retaining
some of the best legal talent in that
city. One story that has gone the rounds
the last few days. is to the effect that
the whole Gillett deal was a gigantic
conspiracy, and that $4,000 was recent
ly given to one man to distribute among
those Interested; that instead of doing
so, he pocketed the entire sum, and the
conspirators are urging him to settle.
There are men at the stock yards here
who know a great deal more than they
will tell and there are some who are
telling much that is not the whole truth
regarding the Gillett case. In discussing
this with reporter a live stock dealer
said:
1.-The Gillett case is boiling, and it will
not be long before it bubbles over. L
wish 1 might tell certain things know,
which will develop later. My hands are
tied at present, and 1 am compelled to
look on and say nothing in the hope
that certain innocent parties who are
interested will not suffer financially
