HONOR FOR CURTIS.
Topeka Congressman Receives a
ROusing Reception.

When Congressman Curtis stepped
from the Rock Island train yesterday
evening he was met by a large number
of enthusiastic friends who escorted him
to a carriage which then took it's place
in the procession which had formed to
march to the Copeland hotel.
The streets were crowded with people
who were anxious to see both the pa
rade and the returning Congressman.
The procession was formed by the fol-
lowing organizations: Marshall's band,
Twenty-third regiment band, Wheelmen,
Topeka City Troop, Civil war veterans,
Trumpet corps, Republican fambeau
club, Scandinavian club Santa F'e Cur
tbs club, and the Curtis clubs from the
different wards.
At the Copeland hotel Mr.. Curtis was
escorted to the gaily decorated balcony
by the reception committee. Governor
Stanley called the great crowd which
had assembled to order and made a few
remarks in which he congratulated Mr..
Curtis and his constituents. He intro
duced Department Commander w. W.
Martin of the G. A. r. who made a few
brief remarks and then presented Mr..
Curtis who was received with cheers.
Mr.. Curtis confined his remarks prin-
cipally to thanking the people for the
demonstration made in honor of his re-
turn. He did not touch on politics but
mentioned the war with China, which
he declared the United States had en-
tered into for the protection of Afneri-

can subjects and not for the purpose of
conquest. He mentioned several war
heroes whose names were loudly ap-
plauded and commended in highest
terms the efficiency of the American
navy.
He spoke of the pleasure it gave him
to again be among the friends of his
youth and thanked the people for the
loyal support they had always given
him.
After the speech Mr.. Curtis was again
given three cheers and when he came
down from the balcony to take his car
riage for home the people lined up to
shake hands with him. The informal re-
ception lasted over half an hour and it
seemed that the crowd would never
grow less.
Finally the band played Star Spang-
led Banner" and then started to march
down Kansas avenue. The crowd then
gradually dwindled and Mr. Curtis was
able to get in his carriage, but the hand
shaking and cries Of welcome continued
until the carriage had passed some dis
tance down the street.
A. K. Rogers, who met Mr.. Curtis in
Kansas City and accompanied him
home, received the following telegram
this morning: Leavenworth desires to
join with Topeka in it's welcome to Mr..
Curtis, the best congressman the First
district ever had. Our people will show
their appreciation shortly. also in No

SHORT SESSION.
Cabinet Meeting Lasted But an Hour
and Was Uneventful.

Washington. June 26.-The cabinet
meeting today lasted only an hour and
developed nothing of special interest.
1t was stated that no troops in addi-
ton to the Ninth infantry had been or
dered to China and while this is literally
true there seems to be no doubt the gov
ernment is quietly taking steps looking
to the early reinforcement of our small
company of marines now on Chinese
soil. Secretary Hay took with him to
Fowler at Che Foo, but it was asserted
that it threw no light on the general
situation. Secretary Long also had one
or more dispatches but they were not
made public Postmaster General Smith
stated at the meeting that Mr.. Rath-
bone was no longer connected with the
Cuban postal service.

sociation, welcomed the delegates. In the
course of his speech he announced that
real progress had been made towards lay
ing Pacific cable and that tenders would
be invited almost Immediately for the be-
ginning of the work.
Discussing imperial defense. Lord Sell
bourn remarked that the whirligig of
time had inverted the feeling in relation
thereto. A century and a quarter ago
this question of imperial defense was the
root of a quarrel with the American col
onies which finally lost them to Great
Britain. Today the same question, he
said. is operating more than any other
in drawing the different parts of the en-
pire together. The colonies, he added,
now voluntarily admitted what America
had disputed. namely that colonies ought
to contribute to their own defense.

The truth is that Congressman Curtis
is suffering from overwork. Those who
