CHINA AND ANARCHY.
TFrom the Spectator.1

The empress regent is by far the
strongest person in China, but she is
also the most dangerous one If she is
left in possession OF the throne, she may
reign for ten years yet, and If she for
gets or forgives the humiliation she will
have received, she will be very unlike
any other adventures who ever OBJ
tanned control of the supreme power
She will punish Europe if she can, and
meanwhile she will foster the reaction
aries throughout the empire. The en-
peror has the advantage of his legal
claim to a QuaSi-Supernatural position,
but he is a weak young man, bred in al
most total SecluSiOn and incapable, as
he has already proved, of controlling
the fierce Manchu grandees, who intend
to retain the ancient system IN 1ulI
force. Emperors who submit to be ar
rested and sent to bed are not of much
value as friends in dangerous crises He
could not govern unless he were siren
uously and consistently supported either
by one great power, which Europe will
not permit, or by all Europe, which
would in a few months be a condomin-
ium with a vengeance, something like
the condominium which, with its SOL
diers fighting in the streets and it's
chiefs forming factions among the
Roman mobiles, sometimes in the middle
ages endeavored to guide and cotrol the
papacy. The powers can not forget
that if anarchy breaks out in China
their object is defeated, or that if the
monarch moves his capital to the in
terror say Shense, the ancient capital,
their hold upon the central power van
iSheS at once.
The only visible alternative is the one
which no doubt has so often succeeded
in the east-a competent vizier or may
or of the palace; but, not to mention
that the Chinese system leaves no
place for such an officer, do the am
bassadors know of a Chinaman COM
petent to fill such an office? They may,
and it is, we feel confident, in that di-
rection that egress from the present
impasse must be found; but for the
present the outlook is unusually
gloomy. In brief, the greatest empire
in Asia is ruled by men whom Europe
is aware it must not tolerate, yet for
whom it can find or secure no trust
worthy alternatives. And yet if it does
not find or secure them, the hideouS
calamity of China falling to pieces may
within a few months be exciting the
cupidity and overtaxing the capacity of
all ruling men. China in anarchy, which
is the alternative to success in the pres
ent effort of Europe, may involve a
series of wars of which no man can
foresee the end.

VIEWED FROM CHICAGO. +
Newspapers Reasons Why J. G
johnson is Now in Kansas.


Chairman johnson of the executive
committee of the. Democratic national
committee left post haste for Kansas
Hast evening" says the Chicago Tribune.
ITO try to settle some difficulties which
inow stand in the way of the fusion of
democrats. Populists. and free silver
Republicans in that state. On his sue
lcess. hangs the Democratic Nope sfor the
electoral vote of Kansas in November.
lPrevious to the Kansas City convention
1T had been arranged that John w.
sBreidenthal, a Populist of the Sunf1ower
state, should be nominated for governor
on fusion ticket. For the other end of
1he bargain the Populists would vote
orABryan presidential electors. The
democrats were also to have some mi
nor candidates on the state ticket.
For carrying out this arrangement
the Democrats, POpulists, and free sill
yer Republicans all called their state
conventions next Tuesday in Fort Scott
and everything was fixed up for the
three gatherings to act Jointly and
nominate the same ticket and same set
of presidential electors. But when the
Democratic national convention failed
TO name Congressman TOWne as its can
didate for vice president this arrange
ment received a severe blow. The Popu-
lists and free SilverRepublicans declared
the bargain off and said they would not
go into any fusion arrangement bind
ing them to vote for Stevenson for vice
president. They can vote for Bryan,
fbut draw the line at the candidate who
was once on the same ticket with Gro
yer Cleveland.
1T is this trouble which Chairman
Johnson has gone to Kansas to settle if
he can 1t is acknowledged generally
that if he cannot settle it all hope of
carrying Kansas for Bryan might as
well be abandoned

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

Notice has been received in Topeka
of the death of Miss Bessie Marguerite
Given, daughter of Mrs. John Given of
Des Moines, Iowa, which occurred a
few days ago. Her death was very
sudden, and a great shock to her
friends, as she was sick only from
Wednesday until Friday, when her
death occurred.
Miss Given spent sometime in To-
peka about year ago, the guest of
Miss Vera Low, and while here made
many friends. She was a charming
young woman and an accomplished mu-
sician.
The funeral over the remains of ]. F.
Hull took place at the residence, 719
NORRIS avenue, Friday afternoon The
services were conducted by Rev. J. d.
Countermine of the First Presbyterian
church of which he was a membbr.
Members of Topeka lodge No. IL, A. o.
u. W., and lodge No. 28O0 of the M. w.
of A., attended the services in a body.
Mrs Hull left Saturday morning to ac-
company the remains to Mount Ster-
ling, ILL.,, where the burial will be made.
She was accompanied by her sister and
A. J. Hull of Colorado, a brother of the
deceased.

SHAMEFUL NEGLECT.
An Aged Woman Subjected to
Inhuman Cruelties.

There is case at 800 Saywell street
in North Topeka that should receive the
attention of the humane society. In the
house at that number, a two-room af-
fair, live mother and daughter who
are not on speaking terms. The door
between the rooms is nailed shut and
the mother, aged IA years. occupies the
front room and the daughter the other
The aged woman is sick and helpless
and the daughter will do nothing to
help her because they have been quar-
reling for seven years.
Police matron, Mrs. Thorpe, called
there yesterday and found the old wo-
man in a pitiful condition. She had to
crawl to the rain barrel that stood un-
der the caves to get a drink unless she
could attract the attention of a pasSer-
by. She depended usually on a little
colored boy, who lived in the neighbor-
hood and passed frequently, to bring her
water. All the food in the house was a
crust of dirty bread and the old woman
was suffering from hunger. Both the
mother and daughter claim the home
where they live and are both to blame
for their quarrel, but that does not alter
the fact that something should be done
by the humane society for the old

B. OF |. {. IN 1904
Move Made to Capture Grand In
ternatiOnal Meeting
For Topeka the Year of the
Kansas Exposition.
BIG UNION MEETING
UNION MEETING
To Be Held in the Auditorium
Here in October.
Several Hundred Engineers Are
Expected to Be Present.

AT the meeting of the Topeka, division
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, Sunday, move was made
which has as it's ultimate object the
capture of the grand international meet
ing of the 3. of L. E. and Ladies Aux
iliary in 1904, the year of the big semi
centennial celebration The immediate
object is the arrangement of a union
meeting ofmeenbers of the Brotherhood
and Ladies' Auxiliary to be held in the
Auditorium in this city some time in
October.
Not only will the members of the var
iouS divisions in Kansas be invited to
attend the October meeting, but an eff
fort will be made to have divisions in
Missouri, Nebraska. Colorado and Okla
homa, represented.
z. NJ. Arthur, grandfather of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, and
Mrs. MurdOck, grand president of the
Ladies' Auxiliary, will be here togeth-
er with other grand officers of the two
organizations. 1t is expected that sew
eral hundred railroad men will be at
tracted to Topeka.
The committee appointed by the To-
peka division to arrange for the union
meeting is composed of H. G.. Rust,
chairman; James Thomas and John Nc
Neal. The three are well known Santa
Fee engineers, and are men well fitted to
work up such a meeting as is proposed.
At the union meeting the proposition
to secure the grand international con-
Vention for Topeka will be brought up.
Kansas has never had a national meet
ing of any of the big railroad orders
although it has a larger population of
railroad men in proportion to its total
population than the majority of states.
This point will be touched uDon, and
representatives of divisions in neighbor-
ing states will be asked to cooperate
with the Kansas engineers in securing
the convention. The national meeting
of the Ladies' Auxiliary is always held
in connection with the B. of L. E con-
Ventfon.
This year the convention was held in
milwaukee,, and continued four weeks.
in 1902 twill be held at Norfolk, Va.
The next convention will be in 1904, and
the fact that this is the year of the
Kansas Exposition, is a particular rea-
son why~it should be given to Topeka
Several hundred delegates attend each
national convention, and the prolonged
session makes it a good commercial pro-
position to the city in which it. is held.
In view of this fact the Commercial club
will undoubtedly take up the matter,
andf aid the engineers in capturing the
prize.

AUTO RECORD SMASHED.
Vanderbilt Runs From Newport to
Boston in Wonderful Time.

Newport, r. l., July 23.-Young Will
lie K. Vanderbilt went out for a rec
ord today in his new and fierce auto
mobile, the white Ghost" He cap
tured the record by flying along the
roads from Newport to Boston and
back in three hours, 81 minutes and
few seconds.
Haven and Hartford railroad is SO
miles, and trains take two and a half
hours for the trip one way. By the high
road the distance is easily so miles, so
that the automobile Travelled 100 miles
in it's record breaking trip. The aver
age running time on Mr.. Vanderbilts
Journey, therefore, was one minute and
80 seconds to the mile.
Mr.. Vanderbilt and a friend mounted
the white Ghost" at the club about 10
o'clock in the morning. They wore long
dust coats, big caps and black rubber
masks with goggles. The masks were
to shelter their faces so that the rapid
speed should not deprive the racers OF
breath.
The goggles were necessary, of course,
to protect the eyes from dust A
porch wished young Vanderbilt luck
and no broken bones The expert
chauffeur, imported with the machine,
was at the levers.
Through Newport streets and all the
way through Middletown the mobe
hummed along at a decorous pace for
a law recently passed on account OF
young VanderbiltS sprinting compelS
all vehicles to progress slowly.
Once clear of Middletown the chauf-
feur pulled out the lever to its full ex-
tent The white Ghost" flew. Dogs,
chickens and even dignified old ganders
who hadn't moved faster than waddle
in years, ,darted to the hedges and woods
for shelter Farmers and their wives
stood open-mouthed and watched the
machine whirl past Flying Devil' they
called it A cloud of dust like the mark
of a cyclone rolled along in the wake of
the mobe. AS to what he saw by the
way Mr. Vanderbilt could tell very little
for he saw through goggles darkly and
through dust dimly.
The machine made the entire journey
without accident of any degree and
rolled into Boston before noon. Just
how much before Mr.. Vanderbilt will
not say, for he breads to let the full
speed of his machine be known
After luncheon young Mr. Vanderbilt
and his friend mounted the white
Ghost" for the return trip The wind
was ahead all the way, but this made
little difference, for the big mobe is
especially designed to Great as little
friction possible when going against
the wind
The same phenomena ATTENDED the
journey home. Dogs and poultry ran
and few as if they wouldn't stop while
life lasted How the outfit escaped col
lision on the way is a secret known only
to those who go down upon the road in
mobes The return trip to Newport was
finished in two hours although the
roads are in pretty bad condition.
