MUTINY IN EGYPT
Result of Sending Native
Troops to South Africa.

Paris, Feb. "A dispatch to the
Havas News Agency from Cairo con-
firms the report that a rebellion had oc-
CURED among the Soudanese troops in
Khartoum. 1t says:
There is much anxiety here. There
have been number of grave incidents,
notably the growing discomfort in the
Egyptian army, which has attained to
a. mutiny in two Soudanese battalions.
The government mas sent Col. Wingate
to parley with them. The army COM
plain of bad treatment and the secret
dispatch of Egyptian troops to South
Africa 1t appears certain that ten
maxims and large assignment of sad
dies have gone to Durham and a. num-
ber of English officers and civil func-
tionaries have obtained an unlimited
furlough to go to South Africa which is
believed to be a breach of Egypt s
neutrality.
The government is alarmed at the at
titude of the black troops, and has
asked the khedive to intervene. The
latter has sent a letter urging obedi-
ence, but the anxiety nevertheless con-
tinues. Egypt is almost denuded OF
European soldiers.
A cable dispatch to the Associated
Press from Paris, January 81, said there
are only $50 white British soldiers at
Khartoum, under command of a major.
The Soudanese force, it was added, con-
sisted of two battalions, with a total of
] 500 men

Governor Says Reform School Is
Penitentiary kindergarten.
Institution Should Be Reformed
or Abandoned Entirely.
SOME OF THE ABUSES.
Large Number Locked in One
Room Without Attendants.
What Partisanship Has Done
For This 'sReformatory."

''The reform school at Topeka should
be reformed or abandoned. AS it has
been conducted in the past few years
it has been a breeding place for crime.
1t is a kindergarten for the peniten-
tiary"
This statement was made today by
Governor Stanley to Journal reporter.
THE institution has been misman-
aged and its mission has been despoiled
by the lack of the attention both as to
discipline and business continued the
governor.
when first went to visit the in
stitution after being inaugurated 1
found that it was the custom to lock
SO of the boys in room at night and
leave them there alone. No effort was
made to preserve order in that room.
The boys were simply turned in there
like they were so many cattle.
lone of the first things which I in
sisted upOn,' said the governor, was
to have this system changed. Now,
in this dormitory there has been con-
structed an elevated platform or rather
a small room in which an officer sleeps
at night. Order is maintained Refrac-
tory boys are disciplined and prevented
from creating disturbances and instill-
ing into the minds of their companions,
mischief and deceit which are often the
base of crime
That the mana cement of the reform
school has been faulty and inefficient is
proven by the fact that many of the
boys now in the reformatory at Hutch
1nSOn were former inmates of the re-
form school. Had the mission of re-
form schools been properly fulfilled
some of the boys at least instead of be-
ing developed criminals on leaving the
state reform school would have been
useful citizens"
The governor is thoroughly convinced
that there is no way to improve the
moral tendencies of these reform school
to do.
IAN industrial department would
solve the problem in a measure" said
he. "A busy mind does not conceive
mischief. Busy hands do not get into
other peoples. affairs. The plan to re-
form the institution must be carried
out. Unless it is; unless these boys are
given something better than an educa-
ton which fits them for criminal pas
times when they leave the school what's
the use of spending money to keep it
up"
The governor believes that one sys-
tenn which would prove advantageous
would be to have a number of small
rooms which could be assigned to the
boys as a reward of merit for work
in books or department. This plan is
now in successful operation at the state
deaf and dumb school at Olathe and is
proving beneficial. The pupils who
make the highest grades in their school
work occupy the rooms until some other
pupil earns the right to take possession,
by exceeding in grades the work done
by those occupying the room.

Committee Reports Against Bill to
Reinstate Deserters-

Washington, Feb. z.-The Senate COM
mittee on military affairs has reported
adversely upon the bill authorizing the
removal of the charge of desertion
from all soldiers of the civil war who
failed to secure an honorable discharge.
The report against the bill closes as foI-
lows:
In view of the legislation already
enacted and in full force of the recon-
mendations of the secretary of war and
of the most important and vital fact
that this bill practically proposes to
break down all distinction between act
ual desertions not only from the SER
vice of their country, but even to join
the enemy against their country's SER
vice, the bounty jumpers who deserted
from one command under one name and
enlisted for bounties in other commands
under other and fictitious names, and
those true and faithful soldiers who
bore the heat and burden of a fear
fully protracted war till victory crown
ed their labors and were then honor
ably discharged with their country's
gratitude, your committee unhesitat-
ingly condemns the proposed bill and
recommends that it be forever indef1nite@
lV DOStDOned."

next to the First National bank, which
has been used as a store room, will be

will be changed to face the main lobby.
Over the sidewalk of the main entrance
on Kansas avenue will be built q large
portico reaching to the curb. The porti-
co will have transparent signs and will
be lighted by several clusters of cleo
trio lights. The new lobby will be fin
ished in cherry and marble In the
lobby will be a private writing room

Seattle, Wn., Feb.2.-The torpedo boat
Golsborough, under construction in
Portland. will have her trial trip in
Elliott Bay. She is expected to go on
the dry dock at Port Orchard in a few
days and then to take her preliminary
spin.
Captain Pratt, assistant in charge of
the interests of the Coast and Geodetic
suvey at this port, has received instruc-
tiOnS from Washington to lay off a
course one nautical mile in length near
Seattle which viii be followed by the
little warship. He will go out with the
steamer Gedra to make a preliminary
survey of the ground and next week

DRAGGED TO JAIL.
Father Delivers His Son Into or
GERS Hands.

If "Bud''Weaver's coat collar was not
made of substantial cloth he would
probably not now be in the county Jail.
He was dragged there last night by
his father and the coat collar formed
the coupling between him and his
parent.
Bud" is fourteen-year-old boy who
was arrested on the charge of stealing
brass fixtures from the home of W. R.
Hazen At the time of his arrest he
was released on a bond signed by his
father. Instead of returning to his pa
rental roof and endeavoring to reform,
however, Bud" made his escape as
soon as released by the officers, and up
to last night had not been seen by his
father In the meantime that indi-
vidual had been engaged in a still hunt
for the boy, and when he found him
he lost no time in doing away with the
possibility of having to make good his
bond by dragging him to Jail. The
father says he will take no more in
terest in his son. If he had taken some
interest in him earlier in life it might
not now be necessary to turn the boy
over to the jailer.

Conclusions Drawn From Winston
ChurehiIps Dispatch.

London, Feb. 2.-Spencer Wilkinson,
in the Morning Post. today discusses a
long dispatch from Winston Churchill,
dated at Pietermaritzburg and describ-
ing the situation in Natal. He says:
This dispatch deserves to be closely
read. 1t is an appeal to the public at
home, and as it has been passed by
the censor, may be taken TO represent
the feelings of General Buffers army.
Mr. Churchill represents the difficulties
of General Buffers task in concise
terms.
1.-The enemy will act with common
sense. They will place outposts on the
hills and keep back their main body
until they see the direction of Cen
eraI Buffers movement. Then they will
quickly bring up the mair. body and
extemporize what defensive works they
can in addition to such as they have
profusely prepared in anticipation of
various possible advances
THAT is what everyone would ex-

DR.. Lyman Abbott Appears Be-
fore a Committee
As a Champion of the Anti
Woman Suffragists.
PERSONAL ENCOUNTER
With the Venerable Julia
Ward Howe.
In Which the Doctor Comes Out
Second Best.

Boston, Feb. 2.-The anti-woman suf-
fragists who appeared before the COM
mittee on election laws to oppose the
three acts before it granting suffrage
to women had for their champion Rev.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, of New York. Ha
created a sensation by CURLY rebuking
the venerable Julia Ward Howe in a
lively personal encounter. He made an
earnest appeal to the committee not to
allow the women of Massachusetts,
some of whom pay taxes. to vote in
municipal elections, to vote for NUM-
cipal officers and upon all municipal
questions. and not to authorize them
to vote for electors of president or vice
president
Both on sentimental grounds and eco-
nomic grounds DR.. Abbott objected to
Julia Ward Howe, Mary A. Livermore,
Edna d. Cheney, Alice Stone Blackwell
and many other tax-paying petitioners
being allowed to vote for the officials
who are to impose taxes op their props
erty.
DR.. Abbott did not have as plain saii-
ing as he probably anticipated, for he
fatty refused to answer question:
based on Holy Writ put to him by
Mrs. Howe. Mrs. Howe asked DR.. ABB
bott, Were the twelve apostles right
in advocating a better state Of things
in spite of the opposition of the whole
nation?'
DR. Abbott first declined to answer,
because he said he did not know that
the committee would permit him to.
Chairman Inness said that he might
answer. The doctor then said that as
the remark was made merely for rhe-
tOrical effect he should decline to take
up the time of the committee on the
point. Mrs. Howe told the parable OF
the foolish virgins. and said she hoped
that DR.. Abbott would not be found in
their ranks.

Natives Think America is in a Civil
War Because of Kentucky Troubles.

City of Mexico, Feb. 2-The election
difficulties in Kentucky are regarded
here asindicating that that section of the
American union is in a state of civil
war and Correo Espanol, the organ of
the Spanish colony, sarcastically re-
marks that the United States is giving
a fine example to Latin America, and
adds that if a similar state of things
were apparent in any Latin American
country the newspapers and the public
of Yankeeland would be clamoring for
American intervention.
Kentucky has in the past few days
attracted about as much attention as
South Africa.

The Lawton funeral train, which start
ed from San Francisco Thursday, will
probably not pass through Topeka. Ar
rangements were originally made with the
Santa Fe mana cement for the handling of
the train from San Francisco to Chicago,
but up to this afternoon no advice had
been received by General superintendent

the train is on it's way over the northern

There are three cars in the train Cen
