Poor EnElish Gcnernls.

London, April 23.--Last week was a sad
week for the British generals. The brew
ing storm that was overhanging their
heads received its electric spark through
the publication of Lord Roberts censures
regarding the engagement at Spion Kop.
1t descended in merciless torrent from
an unanimous press. At the present mo-
ment General Butler could find no better
way to endear himself to the hearts of
the people than to request his recall; but
one who knows the Natal commander in
timately tells the representative of the
Associated Press that he is far too thick
skinned to take such a step and will stick
to his post despite all criticisms and ava
lanches of adverse public opinion. Nor
is Lord Kitchener spared in the present
outbreak. There is story going the
rounds of the clubs that the great man
of the SGndan' has been severely sat upon
by the little man of Afghanistan," and
specific instances of disagreements between
them are quoted.

TAYLOR FULL OF FIGHT.
Will Garry His Case to the U. S.
Supreme Court.

Cincinnati O., April 7.-Governor
Taylor gave out the following statement
at Frankfort last night:
For weeks have been made the tar
get Of villifcation by certain unprin-
cipled newspapers in Kentucky. The
vilest insinuations have been made and
the most outrageous falsehoods have
been told. When l was called to attend
the funeral of a beloved brother it was
seized upon as an attempt upon my part
to fly from justice. Again, when called
to my home by reason of the death of a
dear sister, the fountains of abuse were
opened and a flood of falsehood and
slander poured forth upon me, the
charge again being made that 1 was at
tempting to fly from the state. On my
last return to Frankfort these papers
hastened to publish the statement that
I was met at the train and escorted to
my home by a squad of soldiers with a
gattling gun. There is not one word of
truth in this statement, but neverthe-
less, it was published and circulated to
harm me. Not content with this in
famous, ghOulish work, which with un-
bluSh1ng audacity, has followed me to
the graves OF my brother and sister,
even the privacy of my family has been
invaded and because my wife drew from
the bank some money with which to pay
the soldiers an attempt was made to i'm
press the people that she, too, was pre-
pairing to fly. Once and for all, 1 desire
to say that neither directly nor Indirect
ly had I any connection with the aSsas-
SlnatlOn OF senator GoeDeL- am clJ-
zen of this state, amenable to it's laws.
I am not a criminal; neither shall ever
be fugitive from justice. Whenever
indicted, if such an outrage should be
committed. I shall appear for trial, con-
scious of my innocence and of the ulti-
mate triumph of right and justice. The
whole purpose of this persecution has
been, and is, to drive me from my post
of duty Such a surrender I have not
made nor will make it unless the high
est courts of this land should adiudge
that L should do so.

and all grain shippers have sold May and
July wheat in Chicago as hedges against

is a tremendous short interest, probably

that it is dangerous to be on the short

cordlng to supply and demand, is too high.
These big shorts have made a .congested

State Solicitor.
Politicians Have Been Wary
About This Place.
BEFORE THE COURT.
If It Be Killed Position Will

Political News of Interest About
Kansas and KanSanS.
BEFORE THE COURT.

There is one state office which the
politicians have been regarding with
such a degree of uncertainty that the
usual number of candidates have not
appeared-in fact until this week there
has not been a candidate on either the
Republican or fusion side-the Office is
solicitor of the court of visitation. The
reason there is such a reluctance about
entering the race for the place is be-
cause the supreme court may annihilate
the court of visitation before election
and leave the candidates with nothing
but a memory for their trouble and ex-
pense.
The Courier Democrat of Seneca pub
ished Friday announces the candidacy
of W. II. Thompson for the place. Mr..
Thompson is clerk of the court of ap-
peals a. Topeka though he still claims
Seneca as his home. He is a Demo-
crat and by the fusion agreement the
place vas voted to the Democrats. He
is a son-in-law of ex-Lieutenant Cover
nor Felt.
The Seneca paper has a column write
up of Mr. Thompson, saying all manner
of nice things about him. 1t says of his
candidacy:
''Nemaha county has not had a cam
didate on the state ticket for many
years in any party and is certainly de-
serving of recognition on that score, and
we earnestly urge Mr.. Thompson as a
Nemaha county candidate, knowing
him as we have personally for so many
years and that he is we'll qualified for
and in every way worthy of the trust;
and we hope that all of his friends in
this county, regardless of politics, will
join IN securing for him this nomination
and an ultimate election.
Mr.. Thompson relieved ex-Attorney
! General Bradford as clerk of the court
of appeals by appointment in January
| 1897, and set that office on its feet by
/ bringing it from one of the poorest
offices under the Republican administra-
! ton up to the very best paying office
of the kind in the state, each year turn
ing over large sum of money to the
state instead of leaving a deficit; and il
elected to the important Office of solicit
tor for the court of visitation ne viii
no doubt bring that office up to the
highest standard for which it was de-
signed discharging it's duties with abil-
| ity, courage and absolute integrity"

IT IS WRONG.
But It is Law Says Judge Burnam of
the Result in Kentucky.

Frankfort, KY, April 7.-Judges Bur-
nam and Guffy, Republicans, while con-
curing in the decision of the court in
the governorship contest dissented from
the reasoning. Judge BurnamS sep
arate opinion says:
TT is hard to imagine a more fragrant
and partisan disregard of the modes of
procedure than is made manifest by the
facts alleged and relief on by contestees
and admitted by demurrer and I am
firmly convinced from admitted facts
that the legislature, in the heat of anger
endangered by intense partisan excite
ment, have done two faithful, conscien-
tiOus and able public servants an ire
parade injury in depriving them of the
office to which they were elected ana
still greater wrong to the large majori-
cult circumstances to elect these ser
wants. But we are met at the threshold
with the contention that the courts of
the state under constitution have no
power to go behind the legislative Jour-
nal and review the judgment of the as
sembly in the proceedings over which
they are given by the constitution ex-
elusive jurisdiction and from whose de-
termination of the question no appeal is
provided I have been led. with some
reluctance, to the conclusion, and not
without some misgivings as to its cor
rectneSs, that there is no power in the
courts of the state to review the findings
of the general assembly in a contested
election for the offices of governor and
lieutenant governor as shown by its only
authenticated records. Many questions
have been raised and discussed by coun-
sci for the appellants. but it will be un-
constitutional to consider them in view
of the conclusion we have reached on
this fundamental question:

leaders in Smith county have tried to
commit the delegation to Peterson. of
Norton while there are others who say
the slate will be smashed to pieces and
that the delegation will be divided, in
which event the friends of DR.. Nelson
claim he will get enough of them to reach

Kan. receiver and shipper Of grain.
New York, April 7.-Discouragensen
could hardly be extracted from a study
of the securities markets yesterday. There
was a general feeling in the street that
a reaction in stocks was about due and
the professional element sold freely
the belief that this idea would work itself
out. London also was liberal seller and
these sales had to be met, even though
they possessed much less significance
than was attached to them by specula-
tors who operate ephemeral factors
and influences 1t was perfectly natural
for London to realibe on the eve of its
fOrtnightly settlement in view Of the large
purchases at lower prices which now
show profits. There has also been heavy
selling for profit-taking by local interests
and the first indication of sales of long
stock is usually accepted by the bear
traders as the proper time to put out
fresh short contracts. Notwithstanding
these adverse speculative conditions, the
market bore itself yesterday in a man
ner in wise diScOuraging to the sub
stantial bull interests The list of net
changes is in evidence. The wonder Of
the whole situation within the walls Of
the Stock Exchange is that prices do not
go lower under the pressure of rea1iZa-
tiOns and bear selling. The only reason
able explanation is that inside and out
side capital is awakening to appreciation
of the possibilities of inves tment and
speculation on the bonds of American
railways.
