HUDSON IS OUT.
Getting OF the State Central Commit

Meeting OF the State Central Commit
tee'' follows:
THE action Of the committee in electing
MI AlDaugh chairman does not come IN
the nature Of a surprise. Since the state
officers determined three days ago to take
no part In the selection of a chairman the
opposition to Albaugh on the part of
those who have heretofore desired to see
LelandIsm eliminated as the controlling
force OF the Republican party in Kansas,
was because of his being a member of
me Leidnu ihacLdhe ana not because OF
any personal anlmos1ty to Mr.. Albaugh-
This at least has been the basis. of the
Capitals opposition to Albaugh and the
paper has voiced the sentiment of many
earnest Republicans who could see no
good reason for Mr.. Albaugh, or any
other man against whom any consider
able number of voters protested, being
forced upon the party as chairman of the
state committee.
''All of this is familiar to our readers
While we wish to say further that the
editor of the Capital does not at this time
retraet one syllable of what has appeared
in these columns against Mr.. Albaugh's
being made chairman, those having the
the honor to Mr.. Albaugh it becomes the
duty of all who wish to see Republican
success to acquiesce in the will of the ma
Jorltys and TO lay aside personal and fac
tional opposition and do what they can
to bring victory in November. The tri-
umph of Republican policies and princi-
pies is of vastly greater importance than
the success or defeat of any man.
The Capital, while Independently pre-
senting its political opinions, which it en-
deavors to sustain with reasons based
upon the logic of facts, Is at all times a
partisan for Republican success because
the party is the safest business organiza-
ton for the country, and in its policies
on all the great questions of progress for

position to the Republican party amounts

Bishop McCabe Will Be Sta
toned at Omaha.

Chicago. May 29.-The report of the
committee on Episcopacy was under
discussion at last nights session of the
Methodist conference. The report was
adopted in its entirety after Omaha had
been substituted as an Episcopal resi-
dence in place of Topeka, the location
originally recommended for Bishop Mc
Cabe.
The Methodists of Topeka bought the
bishops residence at Fifth and Topeka
avenues nine years ago at a cost of
10000 and since then Topeka has been
the home and headquarters of a bishop.
The first to be stationed here was
Bishop Ninde, who now goes to Detroit.
Following him came Bishop Vincent,
who now goes to Switzerland. Bishop
McCabe has been stationed at Ft.Worth
but has lived at Evanston, III. The To-
peka residence will be used as the par
sonage of the minister of the First
Methodist church if no bishop is sent
here.
p I Bonebrake. one of the leading
members in the First Methodist church.
said: This is news to me, although a
rumor to that effect was current last
night. There has long been a rivalry
between Topeka and Omaha for the
bishops headquarters and we have ap-
parently lost this time
When asked whether he thought Bish-
| OPP McCabe was instrumental in secur-
ing the change. Mr.. Bonebrake said; Il
do not believe he was He probably
he has a fine home at North Evanston
near Chicago. During the time Bishop
4 McCabe was stationed at Fort Worth
/ that was his home in name only

made to have the question reconsidered

seemed unable to cope with
Lord George Hamilton, secretary of
state of India, replying reminded the
house that he had already announced
that assistance would be given, if nee
essary, from the British exchequer. At
present, however, there was no lack of
funds, and in his opinion an appeal TO
the British exchequer now would only
dry up the springs of private charitable
contributions.
