TO RACE FOR $4,000.
Twenty Horses Entered For the Burns
Handicap at San Francisco Today.

San Francisco, March 3.-Twenty
horses are entered for the fifth annual
contest for the $4,000 Burns handicap,
the classic event of the California turf
at Oakland track this afternoon The
talent is all at sea as to the ultimate re-
suit.
A light rain began falling at an early
hour this morning and the indications
are favorable for a muddy track which
will upset all calculations based on over
night betting and result in several
scratches OF horses not partial to heavy
going.
On the other hand there are several
entries whose chances will be greatly
increased by the change in track condi-
tiOns. Altogether the big race has a
very open appearance under any condi-
tiOnS of the weather. There is lively
competition in the bidding for the SER
vices of competent jockeys. VS.. Spiers,
owner Of Acrobat, is said to have offer
ed s., ,000tO Barney Schneider for the SER
Schreiber's Forte being scratched, a
likely contingency should the track be

one to persuade the British people that
the Holy See regards them with hos
tility or dislike. l cannot deny that
an impression of this sort is creeping
into the public mind. When it is re-
membered that Catholics are in the
minority in Great Britain it will, we
think, be admitted that in the freedom
of our religion in the great question of
education and in matters of religious
nlinistrations to soldiers and sailors, we
need not fear comparison with other
countries in which Catholics form the
great majority"
To which Cardinal Rampolla cordially
replied that the Osservatore Romano
only printed one column which was Off
cial and this was devoted to religious
news. adding his refusal to accept re-
sponsibility for any political views it
might express and declaring that the
sHoly Father always cherishes for Eng
land that lively special interest which
he has already found many occasions
OF displaying" and that as the vicar
god of peace he desires nothing more
earnestly than a cessation of the ac-
tual state of things which costs the
English nation so many victims.
Lord Herries discussing the CORE
spondence at the meeting of the union
declared that in religious matters the
English Catholics implicitly obeyed the
Pope, but when it came to civil gov
ernment they took their places side by
side with their fellow-countrymen
The Times commenting upon the pa
triotisrn of the many titled persons and
others who were present at the meet
ing said:
ut is a pity that Cardinal Rampolla
did not speak out palmer, in view of
the fact that the subsidized Osservatore
Romano all the world over is supposed
to represent the Pope's personal opin-
ions"
Mr.. J. D. Doaglass-Willan. formerly a
big rancher of Wyoming, appeared in
bankruptcy proceedings this week. His
statement showed unsecured liabilities
amounting to p 143 pounds and an esti-
mated surplus in assets of 80 161 pounds.
But this mainly consisted of an inter-
est in an electric lamp patent, which
the debtor valued at $4,000 pounds, but
which he could not realize upon.
The recent murder of a land agent

WERE COLOSSAL.
Transactions on the Cotton Ex-
change in New York.

New York, March 3.-Tremendous ex-
element prevailed on the cotton ex-
change today. Transactions were upon
a colossal sale. The market advanced
15Q22 points on the near positions and
4Q10 points on the new crop deliveries,
following an unexpected advance of
61z-64@11, 12-64d. at Liverpool. The
English advance by the published bulle-
tin of a leading banking house this
morning was qualified as a crazy move
ment. This sentiment was more or less
popularity shared by the professional
traders on change; but that cut no
figure against the wild and enormous
buying by the spectators at large.
The facts that receipts are double
what they were year ago that an in
creased demand for fertilizers is re-
ported and that an immense new crop
area is contemplated are overlooked in
the present excitement. The bulls say
that new crop cotton can not fill old
crop shorts and they continue to buy
on belief in heavy short interest in
May, June, July and August contracts.
These positions were all heavily in de-
mand this morning.

The Pope'S attitude towards Great
Britain and the British Catholics atti-
tude toward the war were interestingly
exhibited at an influential meeting of
the British Catholic Union this week,
when the president, the Duke of Nor
folk, read some correspondence ex-
changed between himself and Cardinal
Rampolla, the papal secretary of state.
The union had requested the Duke of
Norfolk to interrogate the Holy See in
relation to the anti-British tone taken
by the Osservatore Romano in COM
menting on the Boer war The paper
is supposed to be the Pope's official or
gan, receiving. a financial subsidy from
him. The Duke of Norfolk wrote:

Fifty Linn County Farmers to
Sue the Pittsburg & Gulf.
For Damming the Waters of
the Marias des Cygnes.
DROWNED THEIR CROPS
Thousands of Acres of Linn
County Land Overlooked.
Damages to Crops VIII Probably
Exceed 100000.

A very novel series of damage
suits will shortly be filed in the United
States circuit court at Kansas City by
Allen & Allen, of Topeka, against the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad
company. The plaintiffs in the suits
Will be a large number of farmers in
Linn county, Kan, and Bates county,
Mo, and the aggregate amounts of the
suits may be over 100000
The ground on which the suits will be
brought is that the railroad company
has virtually built a dam across the
valley of the Marias des Cygnes, there
by causing the waters of the river to
back for ten miles up the valley when
ever there is an overflow.
The railroad crosses the river in
Bates county, Mo-, about a mile and a
half east of the Kansas state line AT
that point the river valley is about a
quarter of mile wide. The railroad
company built solid grade across the
valley, leaving an opening only the
width of the channel of the river.
The Marias des Cygnes river differs
from most Kansas streams in that it
has a habit of overfiowing two or three
times every spring and summer. Natur-
ally the water runs off in few hours
and no serious amount of damage is
done.
Above the point where the railroad
crosses the river the valley broadens.
Several large creeks run into it and the
country is very fiat. The result is that
S141CS the STdQe mas DeSn DuilL across
the valley by the railroad company the
water is compelled to go under the small
bridge across the channel of the river,
and when there is an overflow it re-
quires days for all the water to get
through.
For the past three or four years the
farmers on the bottom lands for ten
miles above the railroad in Linn county,
Kan, have had nearly all of their crops
destroyed by the overfiows. One year
the flood came just as the wheat was
ripening, and all the wheat in the val
ley was totally destroyed.
There are about SO farmers on the val
ley who have had their crops destroyed
in this manner, and large number of
them have already retained Allen & AL
len to bring suit again5t the railroad
company for damages. Each farmer
will have a separate action against the
company.
An action will also be brought by
Allen & Allen to compel the railroad
company to take away the grade and
put in trestle work in its place across
the entire valley, in order to give tile
water plenty of room to run off. The
road is at present in the hands of a re-
ceiver, but it is advertised for sale on
March 19, and as it will probably pass
Immediately after the sale into the
hands of new company, this action
will not be filed until after the transfer
is made.

Roberts and his fellows would all be
made dukes forthwith. The change that
has come over the spirit of Great Brit
aims war dream can only beappreciated
by those VINO went through those long
four months of unequalled gloominess
and depression and what are now freely
admitted to be defeats. The scenes ac-
companying this change equalled the
widest delight that ever gushed through
impressiOnable France. To a certain
extent they were quite uncharacteriStic
of the British race and quite put in the
shade any demonstration that occurred
in the United States during the Span
ish-American war. Yet it must be borne
in mind that Great Britain had been
sentimentally bottled up so long that
there was bound to be an outlet.
Kimberley was relieved and scarcely
a stir was noticeable in this densely
populated United Kingdom. Lord Rob
erts by excellent strategy caught Gen.
CrOnje in a wise and annihilated him
and the nation said well done with sew
eral degrees less fervor than it would
have made the same remark had Eng
land beaten Australia at cricket. The
barriers of British self-restraint and
reserve were not yet brokn down.
Though hundreds went about their
daily business apparently complacent
but in their hearts were dying for a
chance to cheer and yell in sheer de-
light it was still Napoleons race of
ShOpkeeperS placid and eminently
proper. Ladysmith was relieved. Then
came the desire to publicly exhibit re-
joicing which would no longer be de-
MED. The mad forms it took have all
ready been described in these Dispatch
es. The long casualty lists passed al
most unnoticed Who cared for the
dead except to sing their praises. The
intoxication of victory, coming after
months of reverse pervaded the length
and breadth of the land The cry of
Great Britain's military weakness, the
rottenness of her army organization
and the menacing acts of other powers
were stilled and the tears of those who
had become widows or fatherless be-
cause of this great thing were only so
much more incense to the triumphant
war god. Since the strife began almost
every one has said:
There is no doubt about the result.
We are bound to win" But it was
not until this week that a large per-
centage of the people could actually
convince themselves oe the certainty
of the phrase so glibly repeated. Small
wonder then that the war is the sole
topic of the week. Some of the demon
strations quite outdid those of the peo-
pie Of Paris. 1t takes an effort of imag-
ination to picture the ordinary middle
class English girl marching bareheaded

ALL FOR CURTIS.
Shawnee County Republicans
Hold Their Convention to
Select Delegates.

The Republican county convention
which was held this afternoon at the
old court house to select % delegates
and the same number of alternates to
the First district congressional conven-
ton at Atchison, which will renomi-
nate Charles Curtis as congressman
from the First district, was largely a
formality. 1t afforded an opportunity
for the various candidates for county
offices to circulate and fix up their
fences, but the actions of the conven-
ton itself had all been decided before
hand.
The convention was called to order
shortly after o'clock by Senator John
T. CLANCY, as chairman of the Shawnee
county Republican central committee.
AS there was no contest a committee
on credentials was unnecessary. and the
calling of the list of delegates was also
considered as roll call.
General J. K. Hudson had been de-
cided upon for chairman of the con-
vention, and after the calling of the
roll, on motion of D. w. Mulvane he
was elected.
General Hudson was applauded as he
took the chair, and made a brief ad-

A. K. Rodgers moved that a commit
tee of ten, composed of one from each
ward of the city, two from country
north of the river, and two from south
of the river, be appointed to select dele
gates to the Atchison convention.
Judge Horton also moved that a com
mittee of five be appointed on resolu-
tions. and both motions were adopted
while I am getting these committees
out of my pocket" said General Hud-
son, Il suggest that you call on some
body to make a speech" Everybody
laughed and Tom McNea1 was called
for.
The committees were as follows:

ton.
Resolutions-A. H. Horton, Harry

In closing his speech Mr.. McNeal
caused considerable applause by say
ing:
when you go over to Atchison, you
are going to nominate the man whom
1 believe to be the most popular man
in the state of Kansas, and if he does
we'll we are going to send him up higher

To the Editor of the State Journal:
What has become of the superintend-
ent of the state house grounds? The
walks surrounding the capitol building

sands of people have to wade through
slush, mud and water two or three

ROCK ISLAND LINES CLEAR.
Drifts Cut Through and All Trains
Running on Schedule Time

Tuesdays snow storm delayed traffic
on the Rock Island from Hutchinson to
Liberal and also on the Dodge City
branch until Friday noon, when the
work of clearing the tracks was fin
iShed.
The drifts on this part of the line
were exceedingly bad, some of the
drifts being from 500 to 1000 feet in
length and from twelve to fifteen feet
in depth.
The Rock Island deserves great credit
as the storm was more severe along it's
lines than in any other section of the
state and it required a great deal CT ex-
ira work to get the lines open. The
tracks are all clear now and trains are
running on schedule time
