.HORNADAY'S AMBITION.
Chairman of Board of Charities
Wants to Be Congress
man-at- Large.

The chances are that Grant Horna-
day, of Fort Scott, chairman of the
state board of charities will be a candi
date for the Republican nomination for
congressman at large.
Such an intention has been imputed
to Mr.. Hornaday by the political gos-
sipers during the past few days and
Mr.. Hornaday today admitted that he
has the matter under consideration.
Il have not made UP my mind about
this NATTER said Mr.. Hornaday to a
Journal reporter today, but 1 am go
ing to decide in a very short time what
I will do.
IF a man is going into that race the
time is near at hand when he should
know what he expects to do and for
that reason 1 will determine in short
time what my position will be-"
But one other man, Judge Case Brod-
erick, has been mentioned in connection
with this office and it is gossip that the
Leland forces have agreed to support
Mr.. Broderick for the place This is
said to be one of the plans of campaign
in the First congressional district.
If Mr.. Hornaday becomes a candidate
a new phase to the political contest
next year will be created. He will not
represent the Leland wing of the party
because Leland has already plighted his
faith to Broderick.
Hornaday'S location is especially adj
vantageous to his success as the Sec
O1AQ congressman QlSlTlct HAS no rep
resentative on the state ticket. There
has been some discussion as to what
recognition, on the state ticket should
be given the Second congressional dis
trict. The solicitorship in the court of
visitation has been mentioned as one
thing which might be sent to the Sec
ond, but the disposition seems to be to
give the district one of the old and
more important Offices and one which
is not SO much involved in litigation
and lack of permanency.
The plan to recognize the district by
nominating Mr.. Hornaday has reached
the conference stage. The politicians
have been talking it over for several
days and Mr.. Hornaday is here inter-
viewing some of his friends.
Il would like to be congressman at
large from Kansas" said Mr.. Horna-
fight and lose. If the indications are
that Judge Broderick has the right of
way and a clear chance for the nomina-
ton 1 will not enter the race. But, if
1 am convinced that I can land the
nomination I will be a candidate.
Il have a theory that it is not good
politics for a man to get mixed up in
a losing fight. My friends have assured
me that they can secure the nomination
for me, but I am locking over the field
carefully before making up my mind"
Mr.. Hornaday's prestige as president
of the state board of charities will be
valuable to him, in the event he goes
into this race He has been an import
ant factor in the distribution of large
amount of patronage and has, accord
excellent official and member of the
hoard

New York, Jan. "A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The position at Colesberg is by no
means clear, but it is apparent that
without reinforcements General French
is finding considerable difficulty in driV-
ing the Beers from the hills surround
ing the town.
From Ladysmith it IS reported that
all is well, though this statement must
be taken in connection with the news
that sickness is increasing, while the
Times correspondent mentions that
medical appliances are not too abund
ant.
Indications that General Butler may
take the offensive before many days
elapse are not wanting, but more than
one hard fought action will probably be
necessary before the relief of Lady
smith is accomplished.
The open door principle was the
foundation of British policy in China
during the protracted negotiations
which followed German and Russian
acquisition of harbors and territories on
the Chinese coast. Nothing came of it,
and the British government ended by
taking possession of a harhOr opposite
Port Arthur. When the Spanish war
came on England was anxious to have
the Americans retain the Philippine Is
lands and cooperate with her in the
maintenance of the open door principle
in the far east. The first object was
secured when the treaty of peace was
negotiated in Paris and the second has
been accomplished by the diplomacy of
the cabinet at Washington. The vigi-
liant Washington correspondents of the
Daily Chronicle and the Manchester
Guardian have announced the success
of the Mckinley government in securing
pledges from Great Britain, Germany,
France, Japan and Russia to guaran-
tee that America shall have equality of
treatment in all portions of China under
foreign influence with the exception of
purely naval stations. The assent of
Italy alone is lacking to render this
collective guarantee of the open door
principle operative. What England was
unable to bring about the United States
government has virtually done and the
British press is slowly awakening to
sense of England'S obligations to Amer
lea. Certainly, if the Americans were
under obligations to England for friend
ly services during the war with Spain
the favor has been fully returned and
in a characteristic American way.
While the state department has been
working out the solution of the open
door problem in the far east, British
cruisers have been attempting to close
a neutral port in South Africa against
American breadstuffS and establish a
fatal precedent against England in the
event of war with any great European
power. The contrast between these two
policies requires no comment. The Lon
don press today is filled with contradic
tory dispatches from New York and
Berlin respecting the disposition to be
made Of this question, but it is conf
IDENTIFY assumed in diplomatic circles
here that compensation will be made for
the seizures and that foodstuffs will not
be classed as contraband OF war.

TO ATTACK GUAYMAS.
Yaqui Indians Seek Control of

Chicago. Jan. "A special to the

A dispatch from Ortez, state of So

the Indians are preparing for an attack
on the city of Guaymas.
There is garrison of a, few compan-

putting up a strong defense. Unless
General Torres intercepts the Yaquis
the attack may be successful, and they
may be able to get control of the Sonora
railway, thus preventing the govern
