TURNER FOR CONGRESS-.
Talk Of Making Him the Candidate in
Sixth District.

Mankato, March ia peculiar polit-
ica1 condition exists in the Sixth con-
gressional district, and particularly in
Jewell county
The Republicans of Jewell county are
bitterly opposed to the denomination Of
Reeder and your correspondent heard
two Republican county officers publicly
state that if Reeder We're renominated
and the opposition should nominate R.
w. Turner that they would stump the
district for Turner.
Turner himself is not a candidate for
anything, but is in the position of be-
ing urged for a candidate for state SEN
ator, by Populists, Silver Republicans
and Democrats and also by many Of
the same parties for congress. There
are also Republicans in this county
that would be delighted to see him
nominated for congress by the Republi-
can party.
The leaders of all political parties in
his own county have unbounded con-
fidence in his sincerity.
Many parties here say that if Reeder
is turned down at the Hays City con-
vention, that Turner should be nom
mated, and the opposition to the Repub-
hcanS say that if the Democrats and
POpuliStS or a Democrat, then they
should agree and nominate Turner as
compromise.
After hearing some of these express
sions of opinion your CORRESPONDENT
busily engaged in district-c and re-
peating what he had heard asked him if
he desired a nomination for congress.
His answer was, NO. 1 am not seeking
nomination for any Office My busi-
ness is paying me well, and I am satis-
fed. There was a time when 1 thought
it would be a great thing to be a con-
gresham, but that time is past. OF
course it is a great honor but not of
sufficient value to sacrifice ones peace
of mind to secure
What are your politics?" was asked
'I am the same kind of a Republican
on the money question as Senator Teller,
the same kind of a Republican on the
foreign question as Hoar. Mason and
Tom Reed and the same kind of a DEM
ocrat as Bryan and Sulzer and the same
kind of a Populist as David Martin. But
in any and all parties I am for Kansas
and Kansas people first, last and all the
time, especially for those who are my
friends and clients. For politics as poll
ties 1 care nothing; I've got over that"
It seems now very doubtful what the
Republican congressional convention
will do and it seems equally doubtful
what the Democrats and Populists will
do. The Republicans of this county are
strongly anti-Reeder.

STILL FRIENDS.
Welcome Says Personal Relations
With Clark Are the Same.

New York. March 16-John B. Well
come of Montana, the lawyer who was
disbarred by the supreme court of that
state for his alleged efforts to bribe
legislators to vote for William A Clark
for United States, is in the city.
THE papers, said he, ARE giving cir
culation to a report that Senator Clark
and 1 have parted company, and that
we are no longer friends. There is not
a word of truth in this. It is true that
] am no longer Mr.. Clark's attorney be-
cause the courts have declared that I
can not practice. 1t may be that the
time viii come when the supreme court
of Montana will realize the injustice
done me and reinstate me as a member
of the bar But Senator Clark is my
friend and I am his friend, and 1 have
no fear as to the ultimate result
"One thing is certain. William A.
Clark win be one of Montana's repre-
sentatives in the upper branch of con-
gress.

Russia Has Collected an Army
of 100000 Men
In the Region of the Caspian in
Five Months.
ON THE PERSIAN GULF
Russia Has Already Pre-empted
a HarbOr.
Germany VIII Join With Eng
land Against Russia.

New York, March ia dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Berlin
says:
The Constantinople correspondent of
the Tageblatt telegraphs the following
which he claims to have acquired from
very good source:
During the last five months 100000
soldiers have been thrown into different
departments of Russia, both on this
side and across the Caspian. Marv
Taschkend and Samarkand are verit-
able war camps, and only the impossi-
bility at the present season of the year
of building new barracks or harboring
men in tents has delayed the advance
of further troops. A decisive manifes-
tation against England may be expect
ed before long. -
The correspondent adds under reserve
that Russia has actually acquired a
harbor on the Persian gulf outside the
Straits of Ormuz.
Statements still more sensational are
published by the Munich Neuste Mach
richten, one of the best informed and
most conservative papers in Germany,
winch ah1rmS, among other things, that
Great Britain has consented to CO.
operate with Germany for the purpose
OF upsetting Russian plans in Asia
Minor.
The semi official organs of the Ger
by these announcements to proclaim
that the Bagdad railway is an interna-
tional undertaking, and that Germany
intends to maintain the strictest re-
serve in regard to questions pending
between Russia and Turkey.
Turkish agents are assured that Great
Britain if appealed to on the basis of
the Cyprus agreement will refuse to as
sist in protecting the Asiatic portion of
Turkey from Russia, and Germany does
not intend to snatch chestnuts out of
the fire for England.
WANTS COALING STATION.
London, March 16.-The Constanti-
nople correspondent of the Times says:
There is a rumor that Russia intends
to ask Turkey for a coaling station in
the archipelago either in Lemnos, En-
bros or Mitylene
The St Petersburg Correspondent Of
the Times says:
Fresh alarm is spreading abroad from
South Russia with regard to further
suspicious military movements Rus
sian troops are being concentrated at
odessa Perhaps, however, it is only
in timely preparation for the grand
manOeuVerS.

HILTZ FOR CLARK'S PLACE.
Talk Of RetaIiatory Opposition to the
Secretary of State.

George A. Clark, secretary of state.
and T. T. Kelly, assistant state treas
urer, went into WEyandotte county last
Saturday to do some work for J. r.
Burton The two state house men in
this matter were of necessity oppostAg s
some of the plans of friends of Senator
Baker.
Clark and Kelly received a very chilly
reception and accordingly left Wyan-
dotte. and now the men whom they
offended are threatening to open fight
on Clark.
They are talking of running Walter
c. Hiltz, who was a clerk in the office
Of the secretary of state under w c.
Edwards administration, for Clark
job. This is probably only a threat. but
1t is being worked for all it is worth
by some of the Republicans in Wyan-
dotte.

New York, July 6.-The professional operators in stocks who have been able to manipulate prices for an advance owing to the small amount of floating stock in the market found their efforts to maintain theh igher level unavailing to-day.
