BRITAIN IN ACCORD
Washington, Dec. 1S.-Secretary Hay

morning with Lord Pauncefote, the Brit
iSh ambassador, devoted solely to the
Chinese situation. The result was to
clear up so far as that can be accom-
plished in Washington some Obscurity

unexpected opposition comes from some
other source. neither the State dpart-
ment nor the British embassy has any
reason to apprehend further delay in

A misunderstanding appears to exist
as to the British attitude, according to
officials here. So far from holding out
for more severe terms and harSher

British government is in thorough ac-
cord with our own policy as developed
in the latest Pekin negotiations, and
the exchanges that have taken place
between Secretary Hay and Lord

WRECK OF THE TOPEKA.
Story of the Catastrophe Related by a
Passenger.

Tacoma Wash, Dec. 1S.-Among the
passengers on the City Of Topeka, which
was wrecked in Lynn canal December
3, was Mrs A. ]. Clark of Tacoma. who
has arrived here and who gives a thrill
ing story of the wreck to the Ledger.
Mrs. Clark says
s.About O'Clock Saturday afternoon
it grew as dark as night, the wind blew
a perfect hurricane and it was bitter
cold The waves dashed eight end ten
feet high over the steamers guard rail,
nothing could have lived in those wa
ters. They attempted to run the steamer
into some harbor or retreat until the
storm subsided. The terrOrs of that
storm were beyond description. The
steamer lost her bearings. and 1 think
something was broken about the en-
gine.
I'VE were sitting at a table in the sa-
lon when the steamer struck on the reef
with a terrible shock, closely followed
by another more severe, and a panic was
created, and excited passengers rushed
hither and thither, some throwing their
baggage overheard
after the second shock the steamer
keeled over on her side. The tide was
then high The small boats were found
to be useless Some of the men got to
land however and built fires. and be-
gan carrying things ashore. The women
waited until the tide fell, or until about
6 o'clock and then we reached shore by
stepping on the rocks. 1t was such an
awful storm and the waves were SO wild
and fierce that I was actually glad when
the steamer struck on the reef.
1T showed all Saturday night and was
very cold, and continued so until Sun
dav about 10 o'clock, when it moderated
somewhat. One of the men walked three
miles through the snowstorm to an IN
dian village or encampment, and got a
tent for the women. Then we found
that it leaked. The weather changed
and it began to rain.
I'VE stayed on the island until Tues
day noon. We had plenty to eat. There
was everything one could want. Food
was strewn all over the beach. Tuesday
about II o'clock the little steamer Alert
came by and found US. 1t transported
some of US to Juneau and sent another
steamer back after the rest They eX-
pected the Topeka would probably break
her back at low tide

NOT A CITIZEN.
County Clerk Elect of Eli
County Forfeits Office.

A contest over the office of clerk of the
district court in Ellis county has been de-
cided in favor of the Republican candi-
date because the Russian elected by the
fusiopists was not, at the time of the
election. naturalized citizen of the
United States.
This contest has been agitating the poll
ticians of Ellis county for several weeks,
and public sentiment has been at a fever
heat
Jacob Karlin, a young Russian. came to
the United States with his parents when
a small boy The father and son did not
take out their naturalization papers until
after the November election, although
they have been in Kansas twelve years.
The court which had the hearing of the
contest decided against Karlin, holding
that at the time of the election he was
not a citizen, and that taking out natural
ization 5: papers week after the election
which he was elected when not a citizen
in the eyes of the law.
This is the first case of this kind on
record in Kansas.

ADMITTED TO BAIL
Miss Morrison Must Furnish a
$4,000 Bond.

Kansas City, Dec 1S.-A special to the
Star from Ell Dorado, Kan, says:
Judge Shinn today agreed to admit
Jessie Morrison to bail in the sum of
$1,000 pending her second trial for the
murder of Mrs Olin Castle. Bondsmen
have not yet been secured but the
prisoners aged father, ex-Probate Judge
Morrison. expresses hope that he will
be able to secure them within a few
days. The case can not come up till
next spring and it is believed that an
other jury can not oe secured in the
county. Her release will probably end
the case.
Miss Morrison was in very happy
mood when she entered court today with
her father and bounded out of her chair
lightly after Judge Shinn had announced
his intention to accept bond. 1t is said
that she will go to her old home in
West Virginia when released.

TO ALL THE WORLD
The Pope Issues a Decree Regarding
New Year Observances.

New York, Dec 1S.-The Herald prints
the following:
Official instructions has been received
here from Rome detailing how Roman
Catholics are to observe the ceremonial
closing of the year and the century on
the night of December 81. 1t IS issued
by Cardinal Cretoni prefect of the Sa-
cred Congregation of Indulgence and
Rites and signed also by Archbishop
Sogaro, secretary of the congregation.
The decree is from the pope and is ad-
dressed to all the world.
NOW that the present age is drawing
to a close" it begins, and a new one is
about to begin it is highly proper that
all who have been redeemed by him in
every part of the world should be solem-
ly cOnsecrated to the King of Ages,
Jesus Christ, in order that this gratitude
may be shown for the special faVoTS
from Him in the past.
What our Holy Father granted a
year go by authorization he also permits
by the same decree of the sacred congre-
cation of rites, viz: That at midnight
which ushers in the January of the year
1901, the most august sacrament of the
Eucharist may be exposed for adora-
tion in churches and chapels and that
in its presence one mass of the Feast Of
the Circumcision of our Lord and tue
Octave of the Nativity may be read or
sung; and that, moreover, the faithful
by special privilege receive holy com
munion either during or outside of the
mass.
w hlle thlhklng OF some new means
of increasing the piety of the faithful in
connection with an event 50 solemn. the
Holy Father learned that many prelates
and pious sodalitics anXiously desire
that the faithful of Christ, moved by an
eagerness to participate in the rich
treasury of spiritual indulgences. should
every where be invited to come and adore
the most blessed Eucharist.
AS this was in most perfect accord
vita his own wishes, the Holy Father
has benignly granted that a plenary in
diligence may be gained by all tie
faithful of Christ who having properly
approached the sacraments of penance
and received holy communion in
church or chapel where the most holy
Eucharist is reserved, shall spend any
full hour they please between midnight
December 81, and the noon of JanL-
ary 1, before most august sacrament ex-
posed to public admiration and shall
moreover offer pious prayers to God for
the intentions of his holiness"

SULTAN VERY SMOOTH.
Entertains Officers of the Ken
tucky but Pays Not.

New York, Dec 1S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
Payment of the missionary claims pend
ing against Turkey is no longer expected
by the administration. Although the sui
tan entertained the officers of the Ken
lucky in truly royal style, he did not let
the presence of the battleship have any
effect upon his pocketbood, and still holds
the $4,000 which the American mission
aries assert is the value of personal and
mission property destroyed six years ago
The Kentucky has left Smyrna for Port
Said, en- route TO Manila
The belief of the administration mat
Turkey will not settle the claims s.fses
out of the reported purpose of Great
Britain to press the missionary claims of
her subjects against the Sublime Porte
It IS stated that if another nation begins
to press its claims the sultan will prob
ably decline to settle those Of the United
States The reason the american claims
have not been disposed of is the fear of
Turkey that other governments viii re-
quire that their claims be paid

stantinople for a cruiser, the cost OF
which was to have included the amount of
the American claims.

NO SLEEPER ATTACHED.
Why Travelling Man Failed to Secure
a Berth He Paid For.

New York. Dec. 1S-W. Seward Webb,
as president of the Wagner Palace Car
company, is the defendant in 81, 900 dam
age suit now being heard in the city court
before Justice FitzsimmOns. George W.
Birnbaum, a travelling salesman, was the
plaintiff.
It appeared from the testimony that in
November. 1899, Birnbaum travelling
through Texas, and on the night of No
Vember he went to the office of the
Wagner Palace Car company at Dallas
and purchased ticket calling for sleep
ing car berth on train going to San An
tonic. He paid 81 for the ticket and when
the train started he found there was no
sleeping car. AS a result he had to spend
the night sitting up in day coach. He
declared that the coach was so cold that
he contracted rheumatism and he was
forced to discontinue his trip through
Texas.
The defense was that it was not the
fault of the Wagner company that the
sleeping car was not attached to the train.
but the fault of the railroad over which
the sleeper was carried
The jury failed to agree before court ad-
jOuTned and a sealed verdict was ordered
