JERRY GLAD OF DEFEAT.
Looks for Trouble in the Next Four
Years That Bryan Will Escape.

Wichita, Kans., Nov. 23-Jerry
Simpson of Medicine Lodge, was in
Wichita today and to all appearances
is none the less iovial because OF the
defeat of the party of his choice at the
recent presidential election.
Fright is nailed to the cross and
wrong is placed upon the throne he
remarked when questioned as to his
feeling over the results of the cam
paign. II have noticed" he con-
tinued lin the newspapers that some
imaginative correspondent has writ
ten concerning me that ! am about &c
reform the Populist party in this
State and incidentally thatMrs. Annie
Diggs is assisting me in this reiorma-
ton. Now speaking for myself, you
may state that the Populist party is
not in need of any reformation. Its
organization is perfect and it is by ne
means dead number. | will no
change my party affiliations and ! will
not reform that party. Let POpulisn
fight its own battles in the future. It,
organization now is such that foul
years hence it will be the bitterest OPP

FEEDING THE ARMY.
Use of Frozen Australian Beet in Phil
ippines is SatisfactOry-No Can
ned Roast Beet.

Washington. Nov. 22.-The report
of Acting Gommissary-G John
+. Weston, made public to day by the
war department, covers the operation
OF the subsistence department up to
June 30 of the present year. 1t shows
that the task of feeding the United
States army of 1000 men has been
reduced to a system, and is now pro-
ceeding satisfactorily throughout the
worldwide area over which the Amer
lean troops are scattered. Australian
frozen beef and mutton now used to
supply the troops in the Philippines
with fresh meat. This keeps sutiici-
emily we'll to be furnished to practic-
ally all Of the posts in the islands of
Luzon, Cebu, Iloilo and Jolo. Since
the completion of the present report, Il
great cold storage plant has been con-
structed at Manila and arrangements
have been made for shipping the fresh
meat, still frozen, in cars constructed
by the quartermaster's department all
along the line of the Manila-Dagupan
railway and to the islands south OF
Luzon. A favorable impression was
made upon foreign officers by the etii-
cient system of fresh meat distribu.
ton.
The question of canned roast beef
which caused so much discussion dur.
ing the Spanish war, has been settled
satisfactorily, it is thought, by the
preparation OF the combined beef and
vegetable stew, which is both whole
some and palatable and will take the
place of fresh beef or mutton when Tho
latter is not obtainable.
A recommendation of importance il

The Unfriendly act of Turkey
in Refusing to Permit us
to Send
A CONSUL TO HARPOOT
May Force this Government
to take Some RetaliatOry
Measures
At Least it Ought to Help us to Reach
u Conclusion to Collect That
Little Bill Soon

Washington, Nov. 24.--The Turkish
authorities having refused to grant
an exequator to DR.. Thomas H. Nor
ton to act as United States Consul at
Harpoot, the indications point to some
retaliatory measures on the part of
our government in the near future.
The Turkish contention. now is that
they permitted u United States consul
ate to be established at Erzeroum un-
der an implied understanding that the
United States would abandon itslclaim
to a consulate at Harpoot.
That there was some shadow of foun-
dation for this understanding is adj
mitted, but it is still the purpose of the
United States to establish this consul
late because the British government
has since been permitted to locate "a
consul at Harpoot, and under the fav-
ored nation clause of our treaty with
Turkey, the United States government
claims the same commercial privilege
as Great Britain.
The last adverse decision of the
Turkish government in this matter
has not modified the orders to the big
battleship Kentucky to proceed from
Naples to Smyrna.
An American, whohas opportunities
for knowing Turkish character, ac-
counts for the action of the Porte as
follows;
"The Turkish authorities look with
jealousy upon the appointment of con-
suls to interior points in the empire,
especially when, as in the present
case, the United States wishes to send
consul to point where it has not
had n consul before.
"The reason, perhaps, why the Tur-
kish authorities more specifically OBJ
ject to the appointment of consul at
Harpoot is that it was at Harpoot
where the American missionary prop
erty was destroyed during the Armen-
ian troubles. on the loss of which our
claims for idemnity are based"

Exhausted
Exhausted


Washington, Nov. 23.-Mail adj
vices in Manila give in considerable
detail the story of the rescue of Cap
tain Shields and fifty men OF the
Twenty ninth infantry after their cap
ture by the insurgents in Martinique.
The fight that Captain Shields and his
party put up against an overwhelming
force is declared to be one of the most
brilliant incidents in the history of
bush fighting in the archipelago. The
fifty men in question were pursuing n
party of insurgents of superior force
into the mountains when they were
ambushed in a box canyon by force
of go rinemen and 1,S00 bolo men.
| They made a continuous fight for
eight days. killing large number of
insurgents and were overpowered only
after they had fired their last shot,
and practically were smothered in "a
hand-to-haud fight with their ,, 200 ad-
versaries.
Sergeants Williams and Mccarthy,
who were in charge of some of the
wounded, come in for particular
praise. They were cut off from the
rest of the party during the retreat
and entrenched themselves on the hill
side, where they stood of their assail'
ants for about three hours, surrender
ing after every cartridge had been eX
hausted.
Scarcely a man in the exposition
escaped being grazed or slightly
wounded during the fight. The tota
list of killed amounted to only five.
Captain Shields was wounded early
in the fight, but continued to direc
the operations of the rear guard dur
ing four miles of retreat. He was
finally knocked out by bulle
through the jaw, neck and shoulder
which was thought at the time to be
fatal wound.
The rescue of the party was effected
by General Hare, who, some months
before, when only colonel, led tn
party which effected the rescue o
Lieutenant Gilmore and the men from
) the Yorktown, after their long month
of captivity in Northern Luzon. Cap
tain Shields and his men say the,
have no complaint to make of thei
treatment during captivity. Maxine
Abad was the insurgent in command
: and, in response to Captain Shields
, request, allowed some of his men T.
= secure medicines and dressings TO
the wounded soldiers. The release c
' party seems to have been due in som
| part to the object lesson which &c
= eral Hare gave to Lieutenant Gi
mores captors during the long an
persistent chase through the almo
impossible mountains of the norther
districts.

RSD BANANAS.

Red Bananas are so scarce nowadays
as to be practically a rarity. The pre-
vailing banana is yellow. Twenty years
and more ago the red vas the prevail
ing banana and the yellow the rare
n The change from red to yellow is
due to commercial reasons. The yellow
banan is more profitable.
The yellow banana requires less care
and time in the cultivation, and so
costs less in that stage. 1t sticks to the
stem better than the red banan, and
so stands handling better. There are
one-third more yellow bananas TO the
bunch than red. With all these marked
advantages in it's favor the yellow ba-
mana has practically driven the red
banana out.
With this great scarcity red bananas
now bring fancy prices; it may be ten
times as much as yellow bananas.
With yellow bananas at 81 or $50 a
bunch, red would be worth from Sc
to Sit, and there would be fewer in d
bunch. Red bananas sell nowadays in
the fruit stores as high as 20 cents
each. The comparatively few punches
imported are taken by dealers in fine
and fancy fruits as novelties, the rari-
~, in large measure, determining the
price. Il might be asked why, with red
bananas ait such prices, more are not
cultivated; to which the anSwer is that
If more were raised the price would go
down again, and there would be no
profit in raising them for the general
demand in competition with the more
economically produced more prolific
and better shipping yellow bananas
