A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
sin shreuaea in Mystery.

An impenetrable shroud of mystery
still envelopes the Castle-Morrison
tragedy at Eldorado. 1t will be re-
membered that one morning recently
neighbors were attracted to the Cas-
tie home by a woman's screams, and
upon entering the house found Mrs.
Clara Castle, a bride of a week, dying
from a throat wound and standing
over her was Miss Jessie Morrison,
her throat also badly cut. The report
was circulated that Miss Morrison
had attacked Mrs. Castle in a fit of
Jealous rage. 1t is the most tragic
and sensational women's quarrel in
the history of Kansas. There is evil
IDENTIFY something deeper than green
eyed jealousy behind it, for it is sell
dom that the ranllest jealousy, even
+ in the most degenerate sphere of
womanhood, ends in such a tigerish
finale. The parents of both com
batants are FRUSTRATED with grief and
the tragic affair is on everybody's
lips

INSURGENTS TAKING OATH.
Nine Leading FiIplnOs swear Allegiance
to the Government and Renounce the
Revolution in the Philippines.

Manila, June 2s.-Nine of the in
surgent leaders, including Gen. Pho
Del Pillar, Conception, Garcia and AL
varez, were released here yesterday
upon the oath of allegiance to the
government and renouncing all forms
of revolution in the Philippines, to-
gether with making formal acknowl-
edgment of American sovereignty.
This oath is much stronger and more
binding than the oath which Gen.
Otis administered and was conse-
quently distasteful to the Filipinos
who accepted it with bad grace, fully
realizing the results of any violation.
Senior Buencamino took the oath
Monday. It is hoped that the sparing
of the nine leaders will influence
their men to take advantage of the
amnesty, which has thus far been
without results other than those of
Yesterday

New York, June 28.-Thomas B.
Reed is sarcastic as to the Philadel-
phia ticket and platform. He likes
neither President Mckinley nor Gov.
Roosevelt and is opposed to expan-
sion. He has been quoted as having
said regarding the Philadelphia con-
vention, why not nominate Roose-
welt for the presidency, with the
rough riders as a platform. It is
true these rough riders did not ride,
because they had no horses, but what
difference does that make?''

Minister TO China.


Washington, June 30.-None of the
members of the cabinet who were
present at Fridays meeting could see
the least. change for the better in the
Chinese situation. Nothing had been
heard from the ministers stationed
at Pekin, and this fact was causing
the greatest alarm for their safety
1t was stated that every possible eff
fort was being made to secure intelli-
gence of their whereabouts, but up to
this time without results. No addi-
tiona1 troops, it was said, had been
ordered to China, but matters were
being put in shape to meet any emer-
gency that might arise. When the
cabinet meeting broke up a little be-
fore one o'clock there could be no
doubt that the members shared. the
central depression at the lack of news
from Minister Conger. While unwin-
ing to admit that hope for his safety
was fast fading, they felt that their
gravest fears might be realized at any
time.

There are many rumors of massa-

Shanghai are reassuring. The gray

exaggerated in the last fortnight.
