Citizens Of Kansas who have been in
tereSted in the development of the hsh
industry have for years been engaged
in constructing ponds on their own

gestions For Name of Defender.
New York. Nov. S0.-The public's wish
may be followed by the New York Yacht
club members syndicate, having in
charge the defense of the Americas cup
against Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger,
when the naming of the prospective de-
fender is considered. W. Butler Duncan
Jr., who is to manage the new yacht
says that there has been as yet no dis
cussion by the syndicate regarding the
boats name and that the matter will
probably not be taken up for several
weeks. He intimates however, that the
plan followed in the naming of the Col
u1nbia. namely, that of having sugges-
tons from the public will be initiated by
the owners of the new boat. In the Cos
sip of local yachtsmen the name Amer
lea is the favorite- It is considered par-
ricularly appropriate from the fact that
the international races next year will
celebrate the SeTni-centennial winning of
the famous cup by the schooner Amer

week OF August as suggested in Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenge. one of the

New York. Nov. sO.-some OF Lord
Wolseley's admirers, says the London

signing the chief command before Lord
Roberts return in order to have a con-
spicuous opportunity for summing up
the results Of the war and the merits
and defects Of the military system. Lord
Wolseley's health is not good, and his
remaining at bis post under conditions
of extreme difficulty has been from a
sheer sense OF public duty.
