Chicago Aug.11.-Perry S. Heath, sec
retary of the national Republican COM
mittee resumed his duties today at head
quarters after a weeks tour east and
south. Secretary Heath saw Governor
Roosevelt at the New York headquarters
where the governors itinerary was ar
ranged. He said the exact route to be
covered will be given out from the New
York headquarters in a few days In a
general way Mr.. Heath said it is Gov
ernor Roosevelt's purpose to visit the
Pacific coast and on his return to make
speeches in illinois,, Indiana, Kentucky
and West Virginia His last speeches of
the campaign will be made in New York
state.
1t is understood at national headquar-
ters that the general course of Governor
Roosevelt's journey has been settled fin
ally and will not be changed, except to
touch places directly on the route. A
great many requests have been made
for deviations which, if complied with
would necessitate dropping out places

PARDON DAY AUG. 20.
Governor Will Then Dispose of Ac-
cumulated Pardons.

Governor Stanley has fixed August 20
for the hearing Of the pending applica-
tions for pardons, of which there are,
old and new, several dozen on file in the
executive office.
In this list there are a great many
which have been once refused by the
governor, but one comes up again on an
application for a rehearing based upon
the fact that the prisoner seeks release
to be permitted to die outside of prison
walls.
The applicant is George Mack of
Cowley county sentenced last January
to serve u years for murder in the sec
ond degree.
Mack was taken with quick consump-
tion soon after going to the prison and
the officials report to the governor that
he can live but a short time. He is the
son of a. widowed mother who has writ
ten the governor a pathetic letter on the
subject of pardon. Annie S. Service,
president, and Anna Waldron, secretary
of the Winfield w. c. T. u. have writ
ten an official letter, urging the COVER
nor to pardon Mack.

IN A DILEMMA.
Gov. Stanley Confronted With
His Own Recommendation.
His Letter on File Asking For a
Pardon.
HAS NOT YET ACTED.
Question Reopened and He Must
Now Decide.
Struggle Between Stanley, Gov
ernOr, and Stanley, Lawyer.
AS NOT YET ACTED.

Governor Stanley has pending in his
office an application for a pardon,
which he as a lawyer recommended that
Governor Morrill, should issue. Now.
the question is, will the governors opin-
ion as a lawyer have weight with him
self as governor? This is the first in
cident OF this character on record in
Kansas, which is probably due to the
fact that lawyers seldom become gov
ernOrS of this state.
Art Hates, whose parents live at
Paola, was sentenced to serve twenty
years for murder in the second degree.
The history of the case is outlined in
Lawyer Stanley's letter to Governor
Morrill,, which is now on file with the
application in Governor Stanley'S office.
Lawyer Stanley's letter follows:
Some years ago a young colored
man, Art Hates, of this city, in a quar-
rel stabbed another colored man, who
died as a. result of the injury. I was
employed to defend him. 1t was an
open question whether Mr.. Hates in in
fifcting the wound was acting in self
defense-so much so, that it was ques-
tionable whether he ought to be put
on trial if he could receive the mini
mum sentence of a minor degree.
Under my advice he plead guilty to
the offense of murder in the second de-
gree, with the understanding of the
county attorney that he should receive
the minimum sentence.
There was an understanding also
with the county attorney, as 1 now re-
call it, that after Kates had been i'm
prisoned for while no obstacles
would be placed in the way of his
pardon.
Notwithstanding this arrangement.
however, Judge Reed sentenced Hates
to a long term of twenty years, which
upon a plea in his behalf was cut down
five years He was sentenced in 1898.
"The attack was brought on by the
jeers and gibes of the person who was
killed, as well as by threats and some
outward demonstrations on his part.
AS to whether this amounted to an
open assault such as would justify the
plea of self-defense was questionable
and it was upon this doubt that l ad-
vised the plea of guilty.
I'm any event, there were extenuattng
circumstances and I believe 1T would be
well if executive clemency could be ex-
tended in this case"
If the governors mind as lawyer
has not been changed since he became
governor, he will doubtless now follow
the recommendations he made to him.
self He is a very conscientious man
and even in the capacity of attorney
would scarcely make a recommendation
unless he knew it to be just

KING VICTOR III.
New Ruler of Italy Takes the
Oath of Office.

Rome, Aug. liking Victor Emman-
uel III took the formal constitu-
tional oath today before parliament
The senate chamber was draped with
mourning, the benches and tribunes be-
ing covered with black furnishings,
bordered with silver. The chamber was
filed with senators and deputies, royal
missions, high officials of state and the
diplomatic corps.
The booming of cannon announced the
departure of the royal party from the
Quirinal.
All along route large crowds were as
sembled and gave the new king an ova-
the senate by the committees of the
chamber of deputies and senate, in a
pavilion specially erected and hand
somely decorated. When the cortege
entered the senate chamber the king be-
ing accompanied by the Duke of Aosta,
the count of Turin and the Duke of
Genoa, the deputies and senators arose
and then began long and exciting
scene of enthusiasm. His majesty later
took the oath and delivered an address,
The weather was beautiful.
The king in his address referred to the
evidences of mourning here and abroad
and spoke of the friendship uniting Italy
with all foreign powers He said Italy
will be forceful instrument of concord
and will assist in maintaining peace and
asked for international accord as the
ceed united The king, the address said,
knows his rights and duties and feels he
will always have the full confidence of
liberal institutions of Italy and be able
by his initiative and energy to vigor-
ously defend these institutions. His ma
jeSty invoked God to witness his PROM
iSeS and assured his hearers that he
would work with all his heart for the
grandeur and prosperity of Italy.
During the ceremony of taking the
oath the king stood, as did those who
assisted in the function, including the
queens and princesses. He pronounced
the words in a loud voice, saying:
I'm the presence of God and before
the nation I swear to Loyalty respect
the statutes, to exercise the royaP au-
thOrity only in pursuance of the laws
and in conformity with them, to render
to each subject according to his rights,
full and entire Justice, an dto conduct
myself under all circumstances as hav-
ing only in view the interest, prosper
ity and honor of the nation"
AS soon as his majesty had concluded
all present broke out into loud acclama-
tions, the ovation lasting several min
utes while cries of viva II Re- re-
sounded throughout the hall. The king
next signed the parchments containing
the oath, and the senators rose in a
body and took the OATH crying togeth-
er, 10 giuro'' CT swear'). The depu-
ties were sworn in the same manner
The whole ceremony, concluding with
the oaths of allegiance of the senators
and deputies, was toching and impos-
ing.
The king then read his address and,
they were received the royal party re-
turned to the Quirinal through the still
crowded streets, the people vigorously
shouting for and cheering the new king.

OPEN TILL 1880 p. M.
Stamps May Be Bought Until That
Hour at Postofice.

The postoffice department has issued
an order requiring that the office be kept
open from 6 a. m. to 1880 p. m, for the
sale of stamps, the issuance of money
orders and the registration Of letters
and packages. The hours at present are

This will be a great convenience to
patrons of the Office, but will make it a
little hard on some of the clerks who
will be compelled to work longer hours
as the department refuses to allow any
extra help.
1t is likely that one clerk will be kept
at the general delivery window from to
1880 in the morning and from 5 to in

the business during that time. At pres
