Mr.. HUDSON'S POSITION
He Becomes General Freight
and Passenger Agent Of
Mexican Central.

Mr.. Charles R. Hudson, who has re-
signed as assistant general freight
agent of the Santa Fe, will on Oc-
tOber become general freight and pas
senger agent of the Mexican Central
railway.
The probability of Mr.. Hudson's asso-
citation with the Mexican Central road
was printed in the State Journal when
his resignation was first announced.
As general freight and passenger
agent, Mr.. Hudson will be at the head
of all traffic matters on the Central
road. He will be directly associated
with Mr. A A Robinson and Mr. H R.
NicNerson, who were high in the ser
vice of the Santa Fe when he took his
position as assistant general freight
agent, and for this reason his new posi-
ton will be particularly pleasant.
Vice President Morton stated while in
this city Wednesday that he was sorry
to see Mr.. Hudson leave the Santa Fe.
All of the Santa F'e officials with whom
Mr.. Hudson has been connected for
years, as well as the employees over
whom he has had charge, share Mr..
MOrtOn'S sentiments in this particular.
Mr.. Hudson will succeed Mr.. Adam
Hoffman, who was compelled to give
up the work on account of ill-health,
and is now under medical treatment in
New York. He will receive a hand
some salary from the Mexican Central
road.

MAKING FOR PEACE.
Report of International Arbitration
Committee at Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 31-The inter-
national arbitration committee will
make the following report to the in
ternationa1 law conference which be-
gins its sessions today:
The conference accepts the report
adopted by the executive council on
July Is, 1899, of the special committee
appointed at the London conference
of 1893, which has, in accordance withe
the direction of the Brussels conference
in 1895. presented a scheme for the for
nation of a court of International ar
bitration.
The conference cordially thankss the
committee for the care with which it
has thus completed the work intrusted
ed in the proceedings of the conference
and commendS it to public notice a the
associations contribution to the further
elucidatiOn of the question:
First-ThiS conference expresses it's
deep qualification at the adoption by
The Hague peace conference of a
scheme of International arbitration
which carries out one of the main OBJ
jects of the association as expressed
in reiterated resolutions from the time
of it's opening conference at Brussels
in 1873. The conference recognizes as
specially valuable these leading fea-
lures of the scheme, viz. First, the
nomination of a body of men of recOg-
nized competence in questions of inter
national law and enjoying public es-
TEEN, who will be ready to act as arbi-
traitors.
Second-The selection by the parties
to any international dispute from
among the members of the above
named body of arbitrators and an UNI
pire to form an arbitration tribunal.
Third-The creation of a permanent
administrative council, composed of the
diplomatic representatives at the court
of The Hague with the Netherlands
minister of foreign affairs as its presi-
dent.
Fourth-The establishment under the
n of q mar 7ea7 rf
a permanent bureau, whose services
will be at the disposal of all arbitral
tribunals.
The conference therefore urges the
members of the association to use their
influence in their respective countries:
(a). To procure the early ratification
of The Hague convention relative to
the settlement OF international differ
ences. OBJ. To promote treaties be-
tween two or more states agreeing TO
submit their differences to arbitration
under the provisions of the convention.
The conference decides that a special.
committee be appointed to examine in

CONDEMNED TO DIE
For Assaulting His Superior Officer
In the Philippines

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 31.-A copy Of
the Manila Times received by the
Canadian Pacific steamer Empress of
China, contains the following:
A well authenticated story has been
reported to US from the Wyoming in
fantry battalion to the effect that
Private McVeigh of G company of the
command, has been court martialed for
striking and threatening to XIII his
company commander, Captain Wright
er, and is now under sentence of death,
but that the sentence will not be car
ried into effect until President Mckin-
ley has approved it. McVeigh is
drinking man, a brute when drunk but
quite genial when sober. He claimed
that Captain Wrfghter was abusing
him. On May last, toward evening,
while McVeigh was returning to the
Wyoming camp after a days carousal,
he met Captain Wrighter. McVeigh
accOSted the officer in an insulting.
familiar manner and upon receiving a
rebuff grew violently angry and finally,
losing all control of himself, assaulted
the captain, calling him in the mean
time vulgar and diSTespectful names,
threatening to kill him at the first fav-
orable opportunity. Captain. Wrigkter
drew his revolver and kept McVeigh
covered until the guard, which had
been called, came up and placed him
under arrest. Captain Wrighter pre-
ferred charges and McVeigh was kept
confined from May 4 until July IS, on
which day he was tried and sentenced
An inquiry into McVeigh's past re-
vea1ed the story of a stormy life. He
had been dishOnorably discharged from
the Eighth regular infantry some time
previous to his enlistment for service
in the Philippines. He has been con-
stantly in trouble since arriving here,
having served a term IN Bilibid and a
great many days in the guard house.
He has been court martialed several
times for refusing to do duty striking
nom commissioned officers and running
away from the guards. He is known
as a bad man. among his comrades
and most of them avoid him

DEWEY'S MEN CAN'T LAND.
That Is the Cinnamon Can't, Under
the Law.

New York, Aug. 31.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Under the Chinese exclusion law,
some members of the crew of the Olym-
pia who served with such credit in the
Battle of Manila Bay as to win special
commentator from Admiral Dewey, in
a letter to the navy department may
not be allowed to set foot on shore
when his flagship reaches New York.
In the battle with the Spanish fleet,
they were assigned to duty in passing
ties connected with fighting the ship,
and every one of them did his task
well enough for Admiral Dewey, who
even suggested, that if possible, they
be admitted to American citizenship.
His letter was referred to the treas
1ry department. The secretary replied
that although he greatly regretted the
fact there was no way in which the
law could be waived. The Cinnamon in
the Olympia'S crew could not be adj
mitted to the United States unless they
had been lawfully in this country at
the time of their enlistment.
The law is mandatory upon the Off
Gals of the treasury department and it
will be the duty of Collector of Customs
Bidwen, at New York to prevent the
Chinese members of the Olympia's crew
from leaving the ship while she is in
New York harbor. Under the law, a
naval vessel is part of the soil of the
country, and technically, if any of them
were enlisted in San Francisco they
have not been out of the United States
while serving on the Olympia.
1t is not probable, however, that any
action would be taken by the treasury
officials should the Cinnamon be allow
are legally entitled to reside in the
United States.

SUES CONVENT FOR CHILD.
Wealthy Cuban Widow Demands Her
Daughter In New Orleans.

New Orleans, Aug. 31.-A novel and
intensely interesting case was institu-
ted in the civil district court today,
when Mrs. Adelina Prieto, widow of
Jose L. Prieto. who was before his
death, one of the wealthfest men in
the Providence at Cienfuegos, Cuba,
and who left his widow considerable
means, began a suit to secure the Gus
tody of her daughter, Maria Theresa
Prieto, a beautiful Cuban girl of IS. The
defendant named in the habeas corpus
proceedings is the st. Alphonus Con-
vent of Mercy.
In the spring of 1898 when conditions
were most unsettled around Cienfue-
COS, Mrs. Prieto brought Maria to the
United States and placed her in the
convent, with a view to completing her
education and giving her a safe abiding
place. Now she desires to take her
daughter back to their native land.
She asked Maria to come with her, but
the girl refused to leave the convent
The mother, in the petition she files
today, AYERS that she is informed and
believes that her daughter has been
made to believe that to leave the con-
vent even though it be to seek the
shelter of her mothers roof, would be
sacrilegiOus and in defiance of Gods
will. a step that would call down di
vine wrath upon her head Mrs. PrietO
further recites that she is firm be-
lever in the Catholic church, but de-
clareS that she cannot see her daugh-
ter kept from her. The case will come
for trial tomorrow before Judge st.
Paul.

HAND OF FATE.
It Has Not Dealt Kindly With Gar "
McNall This Season.

There is one locality in Kansas to
which the big corn stories do not apply,
and that is the southern part of Smith
county. This is peculiar from the fact
that it is right in the middle of the
great corn belt. It takes in the farm of
Webb McNall, superintendent of in
surance. Mr.. McNan was in Topeka
Wednesday and in speaking of the corn
crop he said:
I have about 800 acres of corn on
my place Some of it will make moth
ing at all, while some will do better.
will get One-third of it and I expect
my share will be about 800 bushels.
That will mean an average yield of Is
bushels to the acre. Take Smith county
as a whole, however, and I think the
crop this year will be the largest in its
history. I have enough old corn on
hand to fatten bunch of cattle am
feeding"
The insurance companies will doubt
less look upon this as a judgment upon
Mr. McNau for the way in which he
made them come to time when he was
superintendent Of insurance.

AN EXCELLENT SWEDE.
Ben Hendricks Is Pronounced Sue
cess In His New Play.

Ben Hendricks. slow talking and sim
pie looking in his Swedish character
creations, returned to Topeka We'd
nesday night in his new play "A Yen
uine Yentleman." The audience that
saw him was small, but one that SEEM
ed to fully appreciate the humorous
entertainment as provided.
1t doesn't matter much whether Mr..
Hendricks name appears on the pro-
grammes as cole Olson,'' lyon Yon-
son. or '.Sven Hansen for since he
has been doing dialect comedy he has
been the same good natured, good
hearted Swede, with the same sniffie
and the same generous infectious grin.
And between the three of Gus Heege'S
plays there is little difference, for the
same principles are necessary in each
to give the star a chance to show the
features OF his admirably constructed
nature. So the attractiveness in the
performance Wednesday night contin-
ued to be Mr.. Hendricks himself, and
did not borrow from the fact that his
play was new.
However, in "a Yenuine Yentleman, -
Hendricks had better opportunities
than in either of his former pieces, and
for this reason it should prove sue
cessful. Hendricks Swede is a good
character, and the fact that he is en-
tirely too perfect is the playwright'S
fault and not his.
The performance here was the elev-
enth given by the company and there is
room for number of improvements to
be worked out in "a Yenuine Yentle-
man." Mr.. Hendricks support, which
is not now of the best, may be reason
ably expected to improve with the inn
provement of the piece and acquaint-
ance with it.

LIE Clair and the coon song of Miss
Conway We're well received by the audi
ence. "A Yenuine Yentleman" is pre-

The first was the fastest of the three

In the first, Cornelia Belle the pole
horse, gave Kingmond a rather stiff
argument coming up the stretch, but
was unable to keep up the squirt and
fell back to second place.
