Perhaps No Extension from Liberai-

From the Liberal News
On Monday a tetegram from the Rock
Island Ii ar'qnaIters came to this place
and IA ~ssenger p<octyed to find the
chief engineer CT the surveyors now at
work in the Southwest. 1t is 1umoFeE
that The telegram bears order for the
surveyors TO stop work and report at
headquarters.
There seems to be ID decided change in
the proposed extension affair. A recent
press report says that General Manager
FL. A Parker down the MapguHs
line, the branch frotsa the main line of ther
Rock Island at Chckaslia, Indian Terri
tory. and went overland to Ell Paso-
Texas, and it Is thought the extension
will he made from Mangum instead OF
Liberal The reason given for the
change is that the distance from Mangtsae
to Ell Paso is shorter than from this city
to the proposed terminus. Should sne-
management of the road make the change
of the place of the extension from Liberal
to Mangum, shis city will continue to- do
business and will snffer no disappOjnt-
ment. Liberal will still be the mstFopo-
lis of the southwest and the shipping

DENIAL OF SENSATIONAL STORY
TO the Effect That American Warships and
Soldiers Had Been Ordered TO China,

Washington, March 20.--In official and
diplomatic circles here a denial is au-
thorized of published reports that there
nave been conferences with \ lew TO the
dispatch of additional warships and
United States soldiers to China, nd that
news of the gravest character Lad been
received from the United States mister
to China. There is said TO be no Gear
entertained that any seri )us danger to
American interests is Impending.
IT is suggested that the published re-
ports have as their basis the recent ac-
ton of the navy department, made pub
lie at the time, to send a warship to the
port of Taku, at the mouth of the Pieho
river. This was done as a result of the
representations made to the state de-
partment by Minister Conger, who re-
ported that serious attacks had been
made upon the American missions in
Shan Tung by the Boxers" powerful
and numerous anti-foreign league of
Chinese.
Secretary Long says that this Is all
mat had been done by the navy depart
ment and he is not yet aware which of
MS vessels the admiral had decided to
send to the Chinese port. The secretary
further denies emphatically the correct
ness OF the publication SO far as the navy
department Is concerned, and adds that
there have been no conferences such as
were reported as having taken place on
the subject.
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn of the wal
department is as emphatic in denying
Ihe accuracy of the publications as af-
Lecting his department as Secretary
Long regarding the navy. Mr.. Meikle.
John specifically states that there have
peen no conferences with Assistant ecre
tary Hill as to the number of troops thai
could be spared from the Philippines fol
service in China.

cIeruyman's Sensational Statement.

Boston, March 20.-At public meet
of the Watch and Ward society," Rev.
Frederick B. Allen declared that large
number of vicious plays have been pro-
duced in Boston during the last few
years. AS to the police, after referring
to the charge that 100000 is annually
paid in tribute by criminals to municipal
authorities in New York city, Mr.. Allen
continued There is no question that
vice is protected here in Boston, too.
There is considerable number of mem
bers of the police force in completely with
evil-doers, although this society can
not obtain legal evidence to make it pos
sible to convict in canrt.'

Washington, March 20.-Chief Justice
Fuller of the United States supreme
court yesterday handed down an opinion
in the claim Of Commander Quacken-
bush of the United States navy to recover
pay for services from 1883 to 1897. The
case involves a complicated story of
effort at dismissal and at reinstatement
to rank in the navy. The court held that
Quackenbush was not entitled to back
pay, and also that the United States
could not recover money paid him.
Quackenbush was succeeded as COM
mander in 1874 by Schley,

Hon. E. ]. Phelps Will.

The will of the late Hon. E. ]. Phelps
was filed at the probate Office by Judge
e. Wales, acting for it's executors.
The will leaves practically all of the es-
tate to Mrs. Phelps, the widow of the
deceased. In bequeathing his Willard
street residence to his wife Mr.. Phelps
expresses desire that she shall not be
driven from the home by excessive tax
alton, that it's interior be kept as at pres
ent and that it be not sold or leased.
To his namesake, Edward Jennings of
Bennington, Mr.. Phelps gave the sum OF
$500, to be used in the purchase of
piece of plate by which he should remem-
Der the deceased. All of the other prop
erty is bequeathed to Mrs. Phelps with
out reservation, with the provision that
after her death the Willard street home
stead shall become the property OF their
children, Mrs. Horatio LOOMS and
Charles P. Phelps, in equal division. The
will was made in October, 1899, wit
messed by c. w. Woodhouse, Elias Ly-
man and W. c. Isham and names as
executors Mrs. Phelps. Mrs. Horatio
Loomis and Charles P. Phelps, no bonds
to be required.
Interesting Souvenirs.
Capt. George A. Dodd of the Third
United States Cavalry, who is so well
known through New England for his
famous Troop F." has recently sent
home to Mrs. Dodd some interesting
souvenirs. He has been with Gen. Young
his old regimental commandment Vi
gan in Del Union Province, Island of Luz
zon, and has done good work there. He
is at present Provost Judge of the Dis
trict, as well as Provost Marshal of the
town. Among the trinkets in Mrs.
Dodd's possession is a belt buckle made
OF two silver pesos, souvenir of the 65,-
900 coins of that denomination which
Capt. Dodd gathered in while on an ex.
petition last fall. Some OF the personal
effects of Mrs. Aguinaldo have also found
their way across the leagues of ocean to
Mrs. Dodds home.
F. L. Fish Appointed.
F. L. Fish of Vergennes, States's Attor-
ney of Addison county has received the
as national bank examiner
OF the State of Vermont with the unani-
nous endorsement OF the Vermont Con-
gressional delegation for that position.
This appointment will come as some
thing OF surprise about the state as the
resignation of Hon. W. A. Lord has not
been made public. Apparently it was
made some time since as Mr.. Lord has
not been performing the duties of that
place.
