lature as they were nominated. This
has been the rule for months.
State Journal reporter has read let
teTs from men claimed by Mr.. Burton, in
which the prospective legislator declared
openly that he would never vote for
Burton.
Similar letters from men alleged to be
supporting Baker have been read in
which the author. denied absolutely any
intention of voting for Mr.. Baker
Other men claimed by both sides have
stated personally to State Journal re-
porter, at various towns IN Kansas that
under no circumstances would they sup
port either Burton or Baker.
Although the supporters Of the two
men are keeping up great show Of
courage they very well know that the
situation must change before either of
them can be elected
From every quarter of the state has
come the sentiment for new man. The
politicians know this to be a fact be-
cause they have heard it They may
deny the existence of such a sentiment,
but it is in evidence. It gives the Baker
men hope that causes them to say 1T
wont be Burton
As to possibilities, It win not be de-
MED by the Burton and Baker managers,
or by those gentlemen themselves. that
all of the political wisdom and states
n1anship in the Republican party in
Kansas have not been cornered" by
them.
Governor Stanley is today the most
popular man in the party in Kansas. He
is to be reckoned with on this Sena-
torial question. Mr.. Stanley has de-
clined tempting offers Of support that
would turn the head of the ordinary
man, for this contest The governor
wants to complete his second term and
to leave a mark in reforming state in
stitutions and other state matters, that
will cause the newspapers and the peO-
pie of the future to refer to him with
more expression than IS contained in the
title of governor
However, a legislature may refuse to
respond to the demands of individual
seekers of the Office of senator and unite
upon a new man. This being possible
the governor is really in danger of find
ing himself in a position similar to that
from which Mr.. Bryan extricated him
self by declining to be a candidate for
senator OF course Mr.. Bryan didn' t
know the Nebraska legislature would be
Republican.
There are more than two men in the
Republican partyvho could be trained
into senatorial timber. The Baker and
Burton managers know this, too. Those
who doubt will be Convinced by exam
lining the following list of names, and
considering the qualifications and posi-
ton of the gentlemen referred to:
James Willis Gleed, Topeka
NJ A Low. Topeka
James A. Troutman, Topeka
Chester L Long, Medicine Lodge
Congressman Charles Curtis
J. K Cubbison, Kansas City.
Lieutenant Governor H E. Richter.
I z. Lambert, Emporfa-
Samuel r. Peters, Newton
And there are many others.
This senatorial fight has passed the
Joke" stage and the men who are pre-
Stunning the fact that they are as good
as elected will now be expected to
make good the claims with which they
have been flooding the state since cleo

REMOVE MAINE WRECK.
Golfer Dam viii Be Built and it Will
Be Taken Out in Sections.

Havana, Nov. 10.-Captain Of the Port
Young has asked the government to re-
fuse any and all proposals looking to the
removal of the wreck of the United
States battleship Maine by explosives
Last year three firms offered to remove
the hull of the battleship in return for
the material, but there has always been
a strong objection to the use of dyna-
mite because of the probability there
are portions of bodies still in the wreck
and the authorities of course shrink
from the idea of desecration. A scheme
has been submitted involving the con-
struction of a Golfer dam, the pumping
out of the water and taking of the
wreck apart in pieces and work on this
line will probably begin next month.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

Stock market trading made up in great
part of the transactions OF professional opera
sols. After early strength prices became heavy
under pressure from the bear element, but few
important losses were made, and no significant
liquidation was noted The market sold of in
expectation Of a poor bank statement, and the
publication Of the statement was followed by
more extensive operations for the short account,
without however, attracting wholesale specu-
lative liquidation. In few cases early gains
were maintained until the close. but the greater
number Of issues showed net losses for the day.
The bank statement exhibited large expansion
in loans. an increase in cash of nearly S2OOOOOO
not being sufficient TO offset the increased liza
hties as an influence upon surplus above legal
requirements. The result Of all changes was a
decrease in surplus of 81. Az 600 10 S10S65 $50.
as compared with SS 536. 200 at this time a year
ago and Sl7 097 $50 in 1898 The heavy gain ia
loans was thought 20 reflect operations in con-
nectjpn with the sales Of foreign held American
securities and their absorption here. The gain
sn cash was contrary TO the known movement
Of money, and il may therefore he placed TO
the account OF the inconsistencies of the average
system employed in making the bank statement.
