TROUBLE AMONG THE POSTS
Against More Than One Women's
Society With Each Post.
COM WANDER COULTER SAYS.

Topeka, May 12.-Department Com
mander Coulter in his address to the
Grand Army encampment protests
against the chartering of more than
one Women's Aid Society in connection
with single post of the brotherhood1
He said:
st may not be out of place, in fact
feel it my duty to say, that the pend
ing court martial is the elimination of
difficulties growing out of the organ
ization of second woman's organiza-
ton claiming place in the affections
the post. This question of the Wom-
ans Relief corps and the Ladies of the
G. A. R. organizations have been caus-
ing trouble among the posts in this
department for some years. At Chan
ute, Manhattan and Atchison, this
question caused the organization of
second post, thus causing additional
burdens upon the old comrades that
they can lily afford to bear. At Wich-
tia and several other places the same
conditions prevail. There are now
two posts in this department that are
strong in membership and in good
condition otherwise, that for the past
year have been struggling with the
contentious of these two women or
CARNATIONS and unless something is
soon done these posts will die and
leave the women to fight over their
graves. 1t is impossible to keep the
comrades from taking sides in the
women's contentious.
"There is in my judgment but one
solution, if consolidation of these or
CARNATIONS cannot be effected, and
that is to so far as possible to discour-
age and condemn the organization of
Ladies of the G.. A. r. where corps of
the W.. R. C. is in existence as a posts.
auxiliary and where post has adop-
ed circle Of the Ladies Of the G. A. r.
as their helpmate, that 20 relief corps
attempt to organize; and as farther
disapproval, if the department would,
by resolution, say to the department
presidents of these organizations, that
that if you charter one of your socie-
ties where there already exists one of
the other woman organizations, your
action will meet with the condemna-
ton of this encampment."
Department Commander Coulter's
utterances on the conflict between the
two auxiliary organizations, the Wom-
ems Relief Corps, and the ladies of the
Grand Army of the Republic, have
made the women of each organization
very angry. They deny that there is
any conflict and declare that his re-
marks were entirely out of place.

NEEDS Of NAVAL Defense.
Danish West Indies Must Not Go
To a Foreign Power.
PROTECTION OF COAST CITIES.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Lodge in discussing the naval supply
bill said: "My reasons for desiring
more ships, and desiring them quickly,
is my belief that the safety of the
United States depends upon the
strength of our navy. Our Atlantic
coast is studded with cities, from the
| Gulf to northern Maine. For the de-
Tense of this great coast line and these
cities we have no adequate fleet. We
are about to enter upon the construc-
ton of an isthmian canal. To control
that canal, to defend it, to hold it open
for our commerce and for the COM
merce of the world even though it be
against an enemy's fleet, we must be
the naval masters of the Caribbean sea.
The safety of the canal depends upon
our fleet. All admit that the canal
ought to be built, and the time is near
when the work will be begun. If we
are to protect the canal as well as our
coast we must have navy proportion
ately strong.
81 hope and believe that We shall
have no war, but great fleet is the
greatest insurance of peace. However,
we would be foolish indeed, if we
should close our eyes to the possible
ties of the situation. We could never
allow the Danish Islands to pass into
any other hands than ours. The Euro
pean nation which should undertake
to take possession of these islands,
right on the road to the canal, and
make of them great naval stations,
would by that very act become an
enemy of ours. We could submit to
no such thing as that. The Monroe
doctrine is a great protection to the
United States. Men of all parties,
Democrats, Republicans and Populists,
without distinction, adhere to that"

welhouse on Apple Crop.

Topeka, May 1.-THE indications
are that Kansas will have the heaviest
fruit crop this year in the history of
the state" said President Fred We'll
house, of the State Horticultural So
ciety. There is no danger of frosts
now, and nothing can damage the crop
except hailstorms, and these are of a
local nature. The apple and peach
crops are too far advanced to be injured
by pests" Judge Welhouse is the
largest apple grower in the world,
having nearly 1000 acres of orchard in
Leavenworth and Shawnee counties.

Purposes of British Government
Made Plain by Chamberlain.
NURSERY OF CONSPIRACY.

Birmingham, England, May IA
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, presided at the an
nual meeting of the grand committee
of the Liberal Unionists of Birming-
ham, the occasion being his first
appearance here since the outbreak of
the war. Turning to the question of
condition of affairs in the South
African settlement and the fate of the
republics, Mr.. Chamberlain said: at
is premature to discuss details, but
am quite ready to take the opinions of
the country, and, above all, the opin-
ions of those self-governing colonies,
which have come so magnificently to
our assistance. While the government
does not wish to be vindictive, they
are determined that never again shall
the republics be nursery of con-
spiracy, and they will see that justice
is done to those who are determined to
be loyal. The government is not pre-
pared to recognize the independence of
the Boer republics (cheers); and we are
determined that the republics shall be
finally incorporated under the British
flag. For an interval there must be
crown colony, such as India is; but we
hope they will eventually become
great self-governing colony like Can
ada and Australia.

days and explosions within the crater
have thrown lava and masses of rock
to a great height. The eruption was

Lead and Zinc Lower.

Joplin, Mo-, May IA drop of $3.50
per 1, 900 pounds in lead ore added to
the general uneasiness in the Missouri
Kansas mining district. Lead ore
prices have not varied to any extent
for year until this big drop. The
lead trust is blamed for today's de-
cline. Zinc ore, too, is on the decline.
The zinc smelters have been steadily
hammering down prices and their
action is forcing the mine owners to
self-defense. The result will be the
building of zinc smelters by the mine
owners.

tai crowd at the brutal exhibition,
throughout the fight were with Cor

which few attempted to start when

ROBERTS CHASING STEYN.
His Cavalry Only .e Miles From Tho
Presidents Camp.

London, May l4.-Lord Roberts tel
egraphed to the war office: "We have
had a successful day and have driven
the enemy from point to point. The
drifts are extremely difficult and much
baggage has still to come up. We
shall, however, march at day break and
push on as far as possible in Kroon
stad direction"
So quickly has Lord Roberts adj
vanced that his cavalry is only twenty
two miles from Kroonstad, while the
main army is only eleven miles behind
them. Hence, in about day the
British will be within striking dis
lance of the Orange Free State head
quarters.
The Free Staters are concentrating
strongly in good position on the
Korannaberg hills, lying eastward OF
the direct line from Thaba N'Chu to
Winborg. President Steyn was with
them yesterday, but is believed to
have gone northward after inspsriting
the burghers with predictions of APP
preaching Boer successes through the
assistance of thousands of foreigners,
who, he said, were pouring into Della
goa bay
President Steyn and council of the
leaders of several thousand Free
Staters in the Ladybrand and Vicks-
burg district presented to the men the
question of continuing the war or not,
at great open-air meeting. The
fighting men decided to fight on.
