tary of the Topeka Commercial club, Mr..
T. j. Anderson, that the lot Of Kansas
corn which was exhibited through US at
the Paris exposition, has been awarded
the grand prize, but have since heard
nothing from him in reply. Thinking
that he may not have received my letter
therefore take this opportunity of writ
ing you the same information.
4 am anxious that the members OF
the club, and all Kansas farmers con-
cerned should know of this gratifying
appreciation of their exhibit of corn. L
would say also in this connection that
after Kansas has had so great wheat
crop during the last season there ought
now to be stin greater chance Of adver-

In the Chinese Negotiations is
the Word UItimatum.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-It developed to-
day that the chief point in the exchanges

the express word ''ultinlatum IN the
text of the demand to be handed to the

OF a resulting declaration or war against
