OVERFLOW MEETINGS NEEDED
Last Night Marked a Political Epoch
in Wichita.

Hereafter the Wichita Republican man
agement will have to arrange on big
nights for overflow meetings. Last night
enough people went away from the Aud
itorium to have filed another hall. In
the big cities halls for the overflows are
provided and when the next big demon
stration by the Republicans comes, such
an arrangement should be made, and
everybody who turns out accommodated.
None of the Republicans could forsee the
big crush last evening. No one expected
it to be so great.

WHERE,the fraud and corruption of
this national administration Is going
to end is aproblem for experts. From
recent reports and developments It ap-
pears that the Cuban postal service is
not the only department affected.
The Cuban customs are said to be In a
very odoriterous state and the post-of-
fee at Washington has been system
atically plundered. There have been
various attempts to cover it up and
some ofthe expert accountants and in.
spectors have been hushed up, while
others refuse to be gagged. From
what has been learned the Hanna gang
imported from Ohio seem to have been
getting fat out of it. Surely our dear
president has been unfortunate in
choosing his associates at any rate. -

OUR GOOD OFFICES.
They Are Probably Being Used in the
Interest of Peace.
(By The Associated Press. J

Washington, March 12.-There is reason
to believe that the United States Gov
ernment is using it's good offices to re-
sore peace between Great Britain and
the South African Republics. This has
not taken the shape OF a proffer of med
iation That would be distinctly repugn-
ant to Great Britain. and according to
the rule of international law, which has,
without exception, governed the State
Department in the past. could not be vol
unteered by until it was known to
be acceptable to both parties TO the
war.
But the United States might very prop
erly serve as an intermediary to trans
nit an appeal for peace and the terms
upon which peace can be secured. The
United States has successfully served in
this capacity in the past, notably in the
termination of the Chinese-Japanese
War, and it is believed it's good offices in
this line are now being extended If this
belief is we'll founded, then Adelbert Hay,
United States Consul at Pretoria, has
been the instrument for transmitting to
the British Government, through the
double Intervention of the Department of
State, and Ambassador Choate an appli-
cation from President Kruger and Steyn

A REFUSAL FROM GERMANY

in the case will be fully developed in a
day or two.
Lord Pauncefote called at the State De-
partment late in the afternoon and spent
half an hour with Secretary Hay. If he
was made acquainted with the tenor Of
any communications relative to peace that
may have come from Pretoria yesterday.
he gave no sign of the fact The Off
cials of the department also maintained
a reserve respecting this subject that
was inpenetrable and all that could be OBJ
tanned from them was an Injunction to
await the developments Of the next twen-
tyfour hours. 1t is surmised from this
that the department is restrained from
discussing the subject by regard for the
diplomatic proprieties, and especially be-
cause of the requirement that the person
to whom note is addressed should be
permitted to receive it before it's SUBJ
stance is made public. In such case.
presuming that Mr.. Choate received
note only today. it is probable that he
would not be able to inform the State
Department that he had delivered it to
Lord Salisbury before tomorrow.
