STOPPED BELL RINGING.
Capt. Leary's Action Not Approved
In Guam.

New York, March 20.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
Information has been received at the
navy department showing that some of
the orders issued by Captain Richard
d. Leary, governor Of Guam, have not
been altogether satisfactory to the in
habitants OF the island.
One of the orders issued by Captain
Leary, for example. forbade the ringing
of church bells night and morning. AS
practically all of the inha abitants of
Guam are Roman Catholics and very
devOut, this caused some criticism. Cap
tain Leary has explained to the de-
partment that the reason for the order
was that the church was quite near the
hospital, and that the ringing of the
bells disturbed the typhoid fever pat
tents. Most of these patients have been
discharged from the hospital and it is
believed the governor can now revoke
his original order.
Captain eLary has in the main done
excellent work in the Island of Guam
and the authorities are much gratified
at the manner in which he has admin
istered affairs there. 1t is understood,
however, that he will not be allowed to
remain at San Luis D'Apre much long
er, but will be detached and another
officer with the rank Of captain sent to
succeed him.

A SHELL THAT BLAZES.
Inventors Are Hard at Work Trying
to Produce One.

New York, March considerable
interest is taken by naval officials here
and at Washington in the efforts which
investors are making to construct
shell containing a. chemical compound
which when it strikes the water will
blaze up and illuminate the surround
ing atmosphere. During the war with
Spain Rear Admiral ONen, chief of
ordnance, expressed his willingness to
try inventions of this character
A shell containing calcium chloride
was submitted a few weeks ago and
has just been fired at the Indian Head
proving grounds. Lieut. Strauss in
charge of the proving grounds, has re
ported to Admiral O'Neil that the pro-
jectile is too cumbersome and too light,
turning over and over in it's flight
though when it struck the water il
burned with an excellent light. Such a
projectile would be extremely valuable
IN time of war as a warship equipped
with several of this type would be able
to discharge them at an enemy's tor
pedo boat for instance and by the light
thus produced would be able to destroy
the attacking vessel.

ECUADOR FLIES THE TRACK
Refuses to Part With Any of Her
Territory at Present.

New York, March ga special to the
Herald from Washington says:
A halt has occurred in the negotia-
tions between the United States and
Ecuador for the acquisition of islands
in the Pacific because of the unwilling
ness of the Quito government to relin-
quish any Of its territory to a foreign
power.
When the report was published in the
Eeuadorean capital that the United
States desired to acquire Chatham is
land a great deal of indignant comment
followed. Members of the national leg
islature of Ecuador were particularly
exasperated by the announcement and
some very caustic speeches attacking
this government were made
When the American minister made
his representation a reply was given
announcing that in the present state of
feeling in the country it would be i'm
possible to consider a proposition to
cede any of the islands of the GaIlapa-
gos group to the United States
The reply has terminated negotiations
but it does not necessarily follow how
ever, that the efforts will not be re-
newed to obtain a naval station at a
point which Will permit of America l
control of the Pacific terminus of the
canal.
The negotiations for the cession of
the Danish West Indies to this gov
eminent have been suspended because
of the cabinet crisis in Copenhagen

FATE OF JOHANNESBURG.
German Government Opposed to
Beers Destroying City.

New York, March 20-Much concern
IS b-ing shown by the German govern
ment in the threat made by Montagu
White that the Beers viii destroy Jo-
ham esburg to prevent it being made
the base of the British operations
against Pretoria The Berlin authorities
Wiz strongly oppose such action, be-
cause of the damage which viii be done
to the property owned by Germans.
In accordance with the instructions of
his government, Baron Won Holleben,
German ambassador at Washington,
has gone so far as to sound the United
States touching its views of Mr. Whites
threat. 1t is not thought that the
United States Will take any action or
joir in any representations to the Boer
go.ci nnent on the subject. If Ger
many wishes to prevent the city from
being razed to the ground, it is said,
she should herself make representations
to the belligerents. The interests of the
United States in Johannesburg are COM
paratively small, While Germany is
largely interested in the mines there.
" nile l can not speak for the presi-
dent on the subject" said an official
at Washington last night. Il think it
is retty safe to assume that this gov
efnInent will not interfere. Represent
atiOns to the Beers and the British
would be a form of Intervention and 1
am sure the administration does not
caro- to do anything that would have
the appearance of Intervention.
T. ON a humanitarian point of view,
it might be a good thing to try to save
the city, but representations made to
the belligerents might meet with re-
fussl to comply with the wishes eX-
pressed. If Johannesburg comes within
the theater of war, foreign property
there will have to be exposed to the
same danger as the property of citizens
of the Boer republic, and if it is dam
aged I do not see that any redress can
be obtained. 1t is principle of inter
national law that a sovereign is not
ordinarily responsible to alien residents
for injuries they receive ON his terri
tory from belligerent action"
In view of Germany's inquiries on
the subject, it is thought not unlikely
that she viii make an effort herself if
she is unable to induce other powers to
join with her, to have the belligerents
to agree to protect foreign property in
Johannesburg at least.

SMOOTH SCHEME.
Kansas City-Topeka Electric
Line to Enter City Over Old
VinewOOd Park Road.

Mr.. F. o. Popenoe, whose homestead
and considerable other property is in
Highland Park, publishes the following
as a local lead in this mornings paper:
The Topeka & Vinewood Park Rail
road company has decided to construct
a new track from Topeka TO Vinewood
Park. The work will begin in a short
time and win be under the supervision
Of George J. kensfnger, who has arrived
from Kansas City for the purpose.
Two routes for the proposed new
railway are under consideration. The
one most favorabIy considered is by the
way of Highland Park. while another
creek.
''The Deer Creek route is said to be
THE Deer Greek route is said to be
slightly superior to the other 50 far as
grade is concerned, but the Officers Of
the company think that the Highland
Park route would accommodate the
largest number of people.
The company also expects to i'm
prove NineWood Park in many ways,
and to make il a popular resort.
If the new road is built over the
Highland Park route property in that
vicinity viii greatly increase in value" "
THIS is undoubtedly a scheme on the
part of the promoters of the Topeka
and Kansas City electric line to get into
the city. The county commissioners
have refused to allow the proposed elec-
tric line between here and Kansas City
TO lay tracks on any of the county
roads. The Topeka & VinewOod Park
railroad was never a paying road. At
ter varied career of wrecks and break
downs it stopped trying to run and the
tracks were torn up. J. H. Vararsdale,
the president of the company, is inter
ested in a. cattle ranch. George J. Ken
singer OF Kansas City, is in town pro-
noting the enterprise.
It is given out that the road will en-
ter Topeka by Ninth or Fifteenth
street, and that VineWood Park is to
be opened for dances. boating, bicycle
rac-s and summer amusements. AS the
park was never a success it seems
stra nge that capitalists would invest
money in a road that could not be ex-
peeted to do a large amount of business
running only to VineWood.

OPPOSED BY SHIPPERS.
One of Cullom's Amendments to Inter
state Commerce Law Unpopular.

New York, March 20.-The Times to-
day says:
General interest is manifested by rail-
road men and shippers in the proposed
amendments to the interstate commerce
law. which were introduced by Senator
Cullon of Illinois, and regarding which
hearings have been neld from time to
time before the interstate commerce
commission Shippers are believed to be
generally infaVor of most of the amend
ments but there is considerable specula-
tiOn as to the position of the railroads.
1t is however, generally believed that
the eastern roads are in favor of the
changes, while the western roads are
supposed to oppose them. President
Galloway, when asked about the attis
tude of the Vanderbilt roads toward
the bill declined to discuss ii on the
ground that Senator DepeW and the
legal department were alone competent
to speak on such a matter. While there
is some doubt as to the attitude of the
railroad, it is certain that at least one
of the amendments will be vigorously
opposed by the shippers. This amend
ment reads:
1T sshan be lawful for the carriers,
whether persons or corporations, to
maintain associations for the establish
ment and maintenance of fair, uniform
and lawfully published rates, rules, or
regulations affecting the transportation
of persons or property, not in violation
of the provisions of section five of the
act to regulate commerce, approved
February 4, 1887, and acts amendatOry
thereof provided that all such rates,
rules and regulations and any methods
adopted for the maintenance of the
same shall be filed with the interstate
commerce commission and be subject
to its approval
It is claimed now by New York ship
pers that this provision was drawn by
railroad attorneys for the express pur-
pose of permitting pooling among rail-
roads. This opposition is the more pro-
# hlT
man Knapp of the commerce commits
sion is said to have stated recently that
he believed railroads should be permit
ted to pool their business, was the only
way by which stability of rates could
be secured. Shipping men say that
pooling would not be Objectionable if
it could be done under the control of
the commerce commission. but the part
that some of the railroads oppose
amendments destined to give greater
power to this commission is taken as
an indication that such control is not
desired by them.

it is the same company that supported
the eminent comedian himself until his
