amusing to tell her..
1T was showing hard when we reached
the senator's, and when we got out OF
the carriage she gave Duke tenderly
over to me and l remember how che
dragged on my arm and how played out
and exhausted she seemed.

morning, and before had time to try
Grover. the dispatcher at Holyoke called
me up to ask whether Larry was still in
Cheyenne He couldn't raise Grover,
he said, and he wanted to give Larry
train orders for Isl, the east bound
passenger. When he heard what had
to say, he told me had better 60 down
TO Grover on Isl myself, as the storm
threated to tie up all the trains and we
might look for trouble.
II had the veterinary surgeon fix up
Dukes side, and put him in the ex-
press car, and boarded Isl with mighty
cold, uncomfortable sensation in the
region Of my diaphragm.
st had showed all night long, and
the storm had developed into blizzard,
and the passenger had difficulty in max
ing any Roadway at all.
"When we got into Grover thought
it was the most desolate spot had ever

leaving me there, l felt like sending a
message of farewell to the world. You

the waves in the merciless wind that
swept, with nothing to break it, from
the Rockies to the Missouri.
when opened the station door, the
snow fell in upon the floor, and Duke
sat down by the empty, fireiess stove
and began to howl and whine in heart
breaking fashion. Larry's sleeping room
upstairs was empty. Down stairs every
thing was in order, and all the station
work had been done up. Apparently
the last thing Larry had done was to
bill out car Of wool from the Oasis
sheep ranch for Dewey, Gould & Co.,
Boston. The car had gone out on 153,

o'clock the night before, so he must
have been there at that time. copied

to go out to look after the track. He
said he had seen O'Toole at five-thirty,

A wARsaIP TO MOROCCO.
United States Consul Will Have Ample
"MoTai' support In Demanding .
just Claim for Damages.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The govern
ment of Morocco has declined to meet
the demands of the United States for
the payment of indemnity on account
of the killing by a mob of Marcus
Essagin, a naturalized American citi-
zen. The latest request was made by
United States Consul Gumfere and
the latest declination of the govern
ment of Morocco was accompanied by
an intimation of it's freedom from liza
bilfty under the terms of the conven-
ton between Morocco and Spain. The
state department has come to the con-
clusion that the consul's representa-
ton will be more effective if he is sup
ported morally by the presence in
Moroccan water by a United States
warship and it is probable he will
make visit to Fee to again present the
case as a passenger on a vessel to be
selected by the navy department for
that purpose.

that Kansas democracy will do no

NEW PORTO RICO ORDER.
war Ospoetmsns Decreased the AIRED
Force In the lsland Upon Rseommenda-
eIoa Of Gov. Alter and Cen. Daxia.

Washington, Nov 13.-By direction
OF the president the Department OF
Porto Rico will be discontinued ON De.
cember IS, 1900, and the island Of
Porto Rico and the islands and keys
thereto will be attached to the Depart
ment of the East and designated the
District of Porto Rico. One battalion
Of the Eleventh infantry and the
squadron of the Fifth cavalry, now
serving in Porto Rico, viii be relieved
from duty therein and sent to New
York city. Brig. Gen. Davis, now in
command of the Department Of Porto
Rico, will repair to Manila, Philippine
islands, and report to the commanding
general for assignment to duty as in.
spector general of that division.
This order was issued after full
cable consultation with Gov. Allen,
of Porto Rico, and after Gen. Davis
had made his recommendations. 1t was
the opinion of Gov. Allen that the re-
duction of the force in Porto Rico
would be eminently satisfactory to
the people of the island and that the
force to be retained would be ample
for-an present purposes. This order
leaves in Porto Rico the Eleventh in.
fantry and batteries F and G, of the
Fifth artillery. These troops will be
under the command of Lieut.. Col.
James A. Buchanan, who is now in
command of the native regiment.
