r. II. Kneeshaw, who has encircled
the globe as British man-o'-1ar's man,
next spoke describing the natives of
the islands and declaring that they
were capable of self government and
entitled to it.
He further said that the Filipinos
were heroes and our soldiers and our
government brutal murderers. The
speech was unworthy of any American
citizen.

A. s. J. Eyler was the next speaker.
He said:
This meeting 1 believe is but one
movement throughout the country
whose object is TO stop the Philippine
war and make the Fllipinos free. While
l want that done, yet l would be
sorry to have it done in such q manner
as to create the i'm preston of the world
that we are too weak to handle the
Filipinos and that they whipped US
out. (applause) A reputation like that
would hurt. Tremendous applsuse)
But l can's conceive that it is the pur-
pose of this meeting to take any action
that would lead to such a belief in the
minds of reasonable people. l hope
that 1t will merely sgive voice to a
sentiment that desires the Philippine
war ended and sthe Filipinos made
fire just as coon as it can be done with
honor and credits to or country and
to that extent l am in harmony with
the spirit and purpose of this meeting.

1 may be mis- AIKEN, and that's why 1 |
consider this meeting proper. There |

CURTIS DENIES.

Mediator Wired Congressman
Curtis to esStand Pat"

Congressman Charles Curtis says
concerning the publication of the Hor-
ton agreement: 4 think Mr. Bailey
and his boss manager, Cy Leland, Will
be condemned by the people OF the
First district for their political methods
the first time the people there get an
opportunity to do so''
Mr.. Curtis charges that the agree
ment is the result of a conspiracy; that
it was fraudulently conceived and that
the signatures of the Shawnee county
men We're secured by false representa-
lions. Mr.. Curtis denies having au-
thOrized the agreement and says:
I want it understood that the agree
ment mentioned was not authorized by
me; that Bailey knows that it was not
authorized by me; that Cy Leland, who
engineered the matter for Mr.. Bailey,
knew that the gentleman mentioned in
connection with the agreement had no
authority to speak for me, as I had
selected NJ A. Low as my agent at Cy
Leland's request, and that have Mr.
Lows dispatch, sent at the request of
Mr. Leland I also have my answer
to Mr. Low The latter, when he went
to the Horton convention, had an under
standing with Mr.. Leland which was
perfectl~ satisfactory After this un-
derStanding was reached Mr.. Low
wired me to stand pat, which I did.
These dispatches will be published at
the proper time.
Il viii further show that Mr.. Leland
secured the sigma lures of Mr.. Horton,
Mr.. Rodgers and Mr.. NIulvane by means
of false representations and that the
alleged agreement is a false pretense
on its face as it was never signed by
Captain John Schilling. Captain Schill-
ing has offered 500 to the man who will
produce the original agreement signed
by him. I also intend to publish Cap
tani SchilIing's letter on this feature
of the affair.
I never at any time authorized, di-
rectly or Indirectly any person to make
such an agreement and did not hear
OF it until nearly a month after the
be bound by any such agreement and I
shall ask the Republicans of the First
district to renOminate me. In my opin-
ion the methods of the Bailey people
will not have the intended effect"

ONE MURDER CASE.
Federal Court to Be Occupied With a
Long DELAYED Trial

The November term of the United
States circuit court begins this after
noon with Judge Hook on the bench.
1t win probably be a long term, as
there are jury cases assigned from now
until December 49, besides the equity
cases. Judge Hook will probably re-
turn to Topeka in January to hear the
equity cases.
There are several cases also set for
hearing before Judge Williams, of Lit
tie Rock. and it was expected that he
would be here today, but he will not
arrive for a few days yet as he is de-
tanned with court business at Fort
Scott.
The principal case to come up at this
term is the Leach murder case which
has been set for Tuesday of next week.
Leach has been in the Shawnee county
Jail here for nearly two years, awaiting
trial, but whenever court has met it
has been found that the witnesses We're
on the other side of the world engaged
in the war There are now all here ex-
cept one soldier who is stationed at
Fort Riley and can be brought to To-
peka on short notice. The last to ar
rive was Assistant Surgeon Stone who
was stationed at Fort Riley a t the time
of the murder. but who has been in
Cuba since then He came to Topeka
directly from Matanzas. Other wit
nesses come from both the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts, where they are now
stationed. Leach's defense will prOba-
bly, be insanity. as a commission of ex-
perts has been appointed to examine

prevail throughout the entire archipela-
go
Only three weeks have passed since
CIeneraI Otis inaugurated ms act ~
campaign against Aguinaldo, and the
results of operations are thus Summar-
lied by an official:
'Aguinaldos army is dispersed;
members of his cabinet and congress,
and the president of his congress are
prisoners, and AguinaldO, with a small
remnant of followers, IS fugitive. Inc
railroad connecting Manila and Dagu-
pan is in American possession and
municipal governments have been eS-
tablished along the line. The Occupa-
ton OF territory extending from Manila
to 1ingayan gulf, 146 miles from Ma
Mia, and the garrisOning of the pro-
Vinces is complete. 1t is not meant
that these provinces are entirely paci-
fed, for this would not be the case, but
the 1nSurgent force therein has been
broken, and except for small bands,
has fled, principally to the province of
Zambalas, to which General Macarthur
Will now devote attention"
Considerable interest is being taken
in official circles as to the disposition
of AguinaldO in case of capture. Some
persons say that the best solution
would be his death in action, but this
is not expected. Should he be cap
tured General Otis will undoubtedly
await instruction from Washington as
to the treatment he should accord him.
Should AguinaldO escape to Hong
Kong, the United States could not as
a matter of right, ask for his surren-
der, and the president would, therefore,
doubtless determine to leave the insur-
gent leader alone.
In connection with the disposition of
AguinaldO in case of capture the auth
critics would have to consider the eff
feet of the policy upon the natives.
When the insurrectiOn is finally sub
dued a civilian or a commission will be
sent to govern the Philippines. The
( archipelago Will be divided into four
military departments. the island of Lu-
ION in two, over which Generals Law
ton and Macarthur will probably pre-
side. General Otis needs &, rest, and is
expected to return to the United States
when he is satisfied there is no longer
any need of his remaining at Manila.

UNRELIABLE RUMORS.
Story That d. R. Nickerson Would Be
Succeeded by J. J. Frey.

The following appeared in the st.
Louis GlObe-DemOcrat today:
"Chihuahua, Mexico. Nov. 26.-It is
stated in railroad circles here that H.
r. Nicl1erson, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Mexican Central
in the City of Mexico. has rendered his
resignation to that company, to take
effect January 1, and that he is to be
succeeded by J. J. Frey, who recently
resigned from the position of general
manager of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa F'e. It is reported that Mr.Nick-
erson will go with the AtchisOn in some
high official capacity"
When seen this afternoon Mr.. A. A.
Robinson, president of the Mexican
Central who is now at his home in this
city, stated that Mr.. NickersOn had not
rendered his resignation effective Janu-
airy L and so far as known had no in
tention of resisning. In reference to
Mr.. F'rey's connection with the Mexi-
can Central, he said there was nothing

SESSION OF CONGRESS-.
Senator Baker Says 1t Will Last
Several Months.

United States Senator Baker goes to
Washington this week. THE coming
session Will last seven or eight months
said the senator, land there is a great
deal of business to be transacted which
can not be accomplished in a short
time. Congress will take its time to the
matters at hand and it Will be a long
siege.
Among the important topics which
will come up for consideration at this
term of congress viii, of course, be
the establishment of a stable govern
ment in the new possessions of the
United States.
I believe congress will establish a
new form of government in the Ha-
waiian islands, and in Porto Rico also.
What form of government will be de
cided upon I do not know yet. 1t is
probable some form similar to that
adopted by the British government in
its colonies viii be adopted.
THE war revenue law has come to
stay and there will not be many
changes in it unless in some minor
points. The rough points in the law
which have come to light through use
will probably be smOOthed off and there
may be some articles added to the Rst
of taxable things, but in the main the
law will stand as it is
1T is possible some action may be
taken in regard to the telegraph tax
by which all meSSag eS and express re-
is taken it will probably be directed
towards making the telegraph and ex-
press companies bear the burden of
taxation and stamp the receipts and
kilograms themselves
Senator Frye will probably be elect
ed president of the senate. He pre-
sided several times for d short while
last winter when Mr.. Hobart was alb
sent and there is little doubt but that
he will be elected to the presidency of
