KING HUMBERT's FUNERAL.
The Remains of the Murdered Ruler
Italy Taken to the PantheOn-Ths
COrte&e an Imposing Sight.

Rome, Aug. 1O.-The train bearing
the remains of King Humbert arrived
in Rome yesterday. Upon the arrival
of the funeral train a company of
cuirassiers bore the casket into the
main half of the station. Here a
temporary mortuary chapel had been
arranged, and Mgr. LAMA, the court
chaplain, pronounced dissolution over
the coffin. The kings remains were
then carried into the street and placed
upon a gun carriage for conveyance to
the Pantheon. The cortege was an
imposing sight. It was six kilometres
long, and as the procession solemnly
moved along the avenues that were
hung with deepest mourning between
the station and the Pantheon, the
spectacle was one never to be forgot

A NOTE TO CHINA.
Ths State Departments says the Hostile At
tacks on the Legations Must Cease
immediately.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The state de-
partment yesterday made public the
text of the note addressed to the
Chinese government which was de-
ivered Wednesday by Acting Secre-
tary Adee to Minister WI for imme-
date transmission to the authorities
at Pekin. Its contents were accurate
" forecasted in the Associated press
dispatches here Wednesday night. It
practically is a demand for complete
compliance with the terms of the
letter of the president to the emper-
or of China sent July %.
The text of the note forwarded
through Minister WI is as follows:
We are availing ourselves of the oppor-
tunity offered by the imperial etlict of
the 5th of August allowing to the for
eign ministers free communication with
their respective governm in cipher,
and we have sent communication to
Minister Conger, to which we await an
answer.
We are already advised by him in a
brief dispatch received August z, that
imperial troops are firing daily upon the
ministers in Pekin. We demand the i'm
mediate cessation of hostile attacks by
imperial troops upon the legations, and
urge the exercise of every power and
agency of the imperial government for
the protection of the legations and all
foreigners therein.
We are also advised by the same dis
patch from Minister Conger that in his
opinion that for the foreign ministers to
leave Pelxin as proposed in the e1ict of
August would be certain death. In
view of the fact that the imperial troops
are now firing upon the legations. and in
view of the doubt expressed by the i'm
perial government in its edict of August
2, as to its power to restore order and
secure absolute safety in Pekin, it is ev-
ident that this apprehension is well
founded, for if your government can
not protect our minister in Pekin, it
will, presumptively, be unable to pro-
tect him upon a journey from Pelzin to
the coast.
We therefore urge upon the imperial
government that it shall adopt the course
suggested in the third clause of the let
ter of the president to his majesty, the
emperor of China, of July %, $780, and
enter into communication with the relief
expedition so that cooperation may be
secured between them for the liberation
of the Legations, the protection of for
eigners and the restoration of order Such
action on the part of the imperial gov
eminent would be a satisfactory demon
stration of it's friendliness and desire to
attain these ends.-AIvey A. Adee, Sec
rotary, Department of State, Washing
ton, August 9, 1900

OUR CLAIM ON CHINA.
Secretary Long Says We Do Not Want
Territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but
Proper Indemnity.

New York, Aug. 1O.-A special dis
patch from Boston to the Commercial
Advertiser says Secretary Long has
left bingham for his vacation at
Buckport, Me. Before the voyage he
said:
owe are not looking for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT in China, and would
be content with proper indemnity. I
think China will see the necessity of
submitting to our demands, thus OBJ
Waiting war. Other powers may fight
despite the safe deliverance of for
eigners. I can only speak for the part
America will play.
81 do not believe that the statement
of minister that he cannot leave
the capital of country without dam
ger to his life is equivalent to dec
laration. of war from the country
which threatens him. I think the af-
fair will work itself out amicably. In
view of the facts as I believe them to
be, an extra session of congress is I'M
necessary"

KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
Emporia Raised the MONEY.

The college of Emporia is free from
debt and the work on the Carnegie
library will begin. Five thousand dol
lars was pledged by the citizens of
Emporia at mass meeting last fall
r to be applied on the college debt, on
condition that the Presbyterian sy-
nod of Kansas would raise the remain
ing $4,000. This represented the total
Indebtedness of the college. About
that time Andrew Carnegie gave $685.
900 to the institution to be used in
building a library. Carnegie's money
was placed on deposit in an Emporia
bank and the trustees tried to raise
the $4,000. The Presbyterian synod
accepted the conditions named by EN-
poria men and a few weeks ago the
synod's $4,000 was raised. The citi-
zens of Emporia raised the $4,000
pledged by them. The building will
be completed within a few months.
Carnegie gave the money for the Ii
brary building as a memorial gift
for his friend, Co. J. d. Anderson,
whose library he had been permitted
to use when a boy. Anderson after
wards became a trustee of this col
lege.

A victory for Argentine.

Judge Hook, of the United States
district court sitting at Leavenworth,
ruled against the claimants to 160
acres of land, including a part of the
city of Argentine, Kan, now occu-
pied by 200 of it's prosperous families
in homes of their own, the principal
business part of the city, large part
of the railway yards of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway and rail-
way depot. On the land are graded
and paved streets and some of the
leading business houses of the city.
1t was in 1895 that r. r. Dunbar Sc
cured the approval of certain deed
by the then secretary of the interior
of the United States for the purpose
of perfecting an alleged cloud to a
title held by supposed heir of Nancy
Whitefeather, the original Indian heir
of the property. The secretary was
induced by testimony to perfect"
the title. Dunbar at once stirred up
the whole town, and later the whole
country, by beginning ejectment suits
against the owners and occupants of
the property. The courts have been
occupied with the case until recent
ly. The last suit was instituted at
the instance of the secretary of the in
terror and through the attorney gem
eral, for whom Thomas j. White, of
Kansas City, acted. The defendant
still has recourse to the United States
supreme court, but it is believed that
the case will not be further prosecute
ed from the fact that Judge Hook
decided that the title was secured
from the secretary of the interior
through misrepresentation.

Jurisdiction of Police Courts.

Chief Justice Doster, of the Kansas
supreme court, has granted writ of
habeas corpus to David Richie, a Sa-
line attorney, releasing Effie Kinsel
from imprisonment imposed upon her
by the police court of Salina This
is the writ that was refused by Judge
Hook in the federal court Saturday
on the ground that the case should
first go through the state courts.
Richie claims that the federal con-
stitution is involved in the case, and
if he is successful in maintaining his
point, he will overturn the govern
ment of every police court in every
city of Kansas, and possibly in all
other states. He claims that the fed
eral constitution entities a person to
a trial by jury before he can be i'm
prisoned, and as the police courts
cannot hold jury trials, they cannot
imprison for offenses covered by state
laws.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 9.-The Kansas

showing the conditions, August 4, of
the growing crops in the state, to-
gether with the preliminary estimates
by their growers in practically every
school districe on the yields of winter
and spring wheat and the condition
of corn-these estimates of yields
being, of course, subject to revision
later in the year, when thrashing is
completed.
The area sown in wheat as reported in
March by assessors, was 4,26S 704 acres,
and as the season was favorable it was
virtually all matured and harvested. Civ
ing an aggregate yield of rs, OS1 900 bushels,
which is the largest in the states his
tory. The average yield per acre on the
whole acreage is 1927 bushels, which has
been surpassed in eight different years
since 1862, and it is a Urtfe less than it
was in 1892, when the state reached high
water mark with 20, 035, $50 bushels of win
ter wheat on 3,S20013 acres, or 1888 BUSH

On basis of 100 as being a good, sat
