REVENUE OF CITIES ATTACKED.
Claim Made That all Fines Must Go to
the School Fund


the School Fund.
Topeka, July IA question has
been raised in the Topeka Amity Club
liquor case in the Kansas court of ap-
peals which is of vital Importance to
every city in the United States which
has adopted the monthly fine system
of handling the joints.
In the Amity Club case it is contend
ed by the defense that all ordinances
providing that money derived from
fines shall be turned into the general
revenue funds of the cities are uncou-
stitutional. 1t is argued that such or
dinances framed after the state law
and in line with its provisions are
penal laws and the constitution pro-
vides: THAT the proceeds of fines for
any breach of the penal laws shall be
exclusively applied to the support of
the common schools This is section
of article vi. of the constitution.
Under it, the attorneys for the de-
Tense say, all fines must be turned into
fund, and that any ordinance which
directs the disposition of the money
otherwise is unconstitutional and void.
Attorney General GODDARD says it
never has been the practice to turn
fines collected in police courts over to
the common school fund, and he. doubts
if the courts will hold that the money
should go there. 1t has always been
turned into the general fund to help
pay the expenses of the city govern
ment. Only fines collected in state
courts have been turned into the school
fund, and he believes that the courts
will hold that the constitutional pro-
vision only applies to state courts and
not to police courts in cities

Reciprocity with Germany.

Washington, July 1.-THE long ex-
pected reciprocity treaty arrangement
between the United States and Ger
many has been effected. Secretary
Hay and the German ambassador have
subscribed to the convention and the
president will issue his proclamation
putting the new duties in force in the
course of a few days. The arrange
ment is generally similar in terms to
the first arrangement made with
France and abates duties on still
wines, argels, paintings and statuary
from Germany entering the United
States. 1t does not require the ap-
proval of the senate, being drawn
under section of the Dingley act.

Improved Prospects For Peace.

Pretoria, July 13.-The British sue
cess at Bethlehem has considerably
improved the prospects for peace, it
is said. The whole of the government
of President Steyn of the Orange Free
State has surrendered except President
Steyn himself. Those officials who are
prisoners have been allowed to COM
municate with President Steyn for the
purpose of attempting to prove to him
the uselessness of a continuance of the
struggle which can only produce blood
shed without any counterbalancing adj
vantages. The collapse of the forces
of General Dewet is expected daily.

Chinese Minister Acts.

Washington, July 16.-The Chinese
minister, Mr.. WI, has undertaken to
get through a cipher cable message
from Secretary Hay to United States
Minister Conger at Pelzin and to have
the answer brought back if Mr.. Con-
ger is alive. The message was pre-
pared by Secretary Hay and its contents
are unknown TO any one save him.
1t was sent to Shanghai with explicit
instructions from Minister WI to
spare no efforts or expense to get it
into the hands of Mr.. Conger.

Ten Stacks of wheat burned.

Abilene, Kansas July 14.-J. L.
Engle, living southwest of town, while
blowing, came to a ravine where the
stubble was very thick and attempted
to burn it out. The fire got beyond
his control and ran into the wheat
field, where ten stacks of wheat were
destroyed in few minutes. Several
other small fire losses in wheat fields
are reported, the ground and straw
being so dry that fire spreads rapidly.

The Now Insane Asylum.

Topeka, July 16.-George Washburn,

now engaged in drawing plans for the

cations are completed. It is said there
will be no more trouble about this.

K|OWA -COMANCHE LANDS.
Allotment Delayed Lack Of An APP
preparation.
NEW LINE TO BE OBSERVED.

Washington, July 16.-All arrange
ments have been perfected for the
allotments for the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache Indians. The preliminary
work has occupied the Indian division
of the department of the interior for
some days past, and it has been def
nitely shaped. The instructions gov
erning the work of the allotment have
been issued. They show that Inspec-
tor Mesler and Special Agents E. B.
Reynolds and A. Chawley will have
the responsibility of making the allot-
ments. The instructions cover every
possible development in the work. 1t
is expected that they will leave within
a week for the reservation, and, work
ing in conjunction with Col Randlett,
the agent in charge of the reservation,
will soon have the matter well in
hand. Some special agents under the
general allotment acts will be with
drawn and money appropriated under
that act is to be used.
Although the instructions issued to
the inspector and general agents direct
them to finish the work within ninety
days, it is recognized here that this
will be impossible and the work of
allotment will still be in progress
when congress convenes next Deem
Der. What effect this will have upon
the opening of the reservation cannot
be said, but it is thought that it will
be none other than to postpone the
date for the opening. All interested
will have TO face the proposition that
the ninety-day requirement is an i'm
possibility.
Each of the special agents will have
the assistance of a corps of surveyors,
who will do the technical work of
locating the boundaries of each allot
ment.
The instructions inform the special
agents that every member of the Co
manche, Kiowa and Apache tribes over
Is years of age shall have the right to
select for himself 16O acres of land, to
be held and owned in severalty The
father, if he be dead the mother, of
members of either of the tribes named,
shall have the power to select like
amount of land for each of his children
under the age of IS years.
The agents of the department are
cautioned not to allow selections of
allotments to be made in any part of
the reservation now occupied for mil
itary school or religious purposes, or
now held for public uses. In every
case where member of one of the
tribes was already in the reservation
the agents are instructed to allow them
to make their selections in the regions
already located and improved, so that
these Indians may retain their i'm
provements. They are expected to
urge upon the Indians the selection of
the best lands for agricultural pur-
poses.
The new line of the Kiowa and Co.
manche reservation is to be observed.
The line recently established trans
ferred large portion of the Kiowa
and Comanche reservation into that of
the Chickasaws, and similar portion
of the Chickasaw reservation into that
of the Kiowas and Comanches.

Cash Bonds are Invalid.

Topeka, July 1.-THE supreme court
has handed down a decision in which
it holds that a justice of the peace has
no right to take cash bond for the
appearance of defendant in a crimi-
nal case. Under this decision an Of
fender must give bail and then. if he
fails to appear, suit must be instituted
against his bondsmen. Attorney Cen
eral GODDARD will call the attention of
the legislature to the matter and ask
1T to amend the justices code SO that a
cash bond can be accepted.

The London Chronicle states that
Queen Victoria's eyesight is becoming
a matter OF grave concern to those
about her. Even the blue spectacles,
with which Dublin and London are
alike familiar. are failing of their old
effect. All dispatches and all letters,
except the most private, are read to
her majesty, who now writes little
more than her signature with her own
hand. A famous foreign eye doctor
has been lately consulted, but without
any encouraging result.
