Baptist church preached Sunday even

politics is responsible for the loss of his
political rights. He said that the silence
Of the supreme court on the disfranchise-

precursor to their general disfranchise-

constitution providing that voters must

Tuesday afternoon. The main business
of the synod deals with this question
factions being formed and divided on
the administration of the post, one fac

of the foreign mission board in the post,
asserting that unless a change is had at

imminent. The election of DR.. F'rease as

OUR NEW EXPLOSIVE.
q. s. Government Buys Secret to
Manufacture Maximite.

New York. June 3-The Press says:
Maximfte, the new explosive invented
by Hudson Maxim. has been adopted
by this country after a series or sue
cessful tests at the Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds. The secret of the ex-
plosive has been sold to the govern
ment by the inventor, and the explo-
sive, it is thought, may reVOlutiOnize
warfare. 1t is said to be more deadly
in its character than lyddite, yet so
safely can it be handled that the danger
attaching to its use is less than that
incurred in transporting ordinary black
powder The tests indicate that the
explosive viii pierce a 12-inch Harvey
lied nickel steel armor, and having
passed through it will explode on the
other side with sufficient power to de-
stroy everything with which it comes
in contact Never before has a, plate
of this strength and thickness been
pierced.
The tests have been made by the ord
nance board and have been conducted
with great secrecy. The opinion is ex-
pressed by experts that Maxinite may
revolutionize the building of battleships
and fOrtificatiOnS. The inSenSltiVeneSS
OF this explosive is so great that a red
hot iron may be thrust into a mass of it
without causing an explosion The ex-
plosion of the compound after passing
through the plate is accomplished by
means Of a fuse Shells filed with
1yddite. the high explosive adopted by
the British government. filled in the
same way as was Maximite, into the
same shells. and fired at a plate an inch
and q half in thickness. all exploded
on impact. where the Maxinite shells
passed through the steel plates q foot
in thickness These tests of Maximite
are regarded as having demonstrated
that there is no warship of any navy
capable of Withstanding its destructive
effects. Mr.. Maxim conducted these ex-
periments in person, there being no one
present except the ordnance officers and
nn
In an interview Mr.. Maxim said:
Should the United States now become
involved in war with any other power,
we will be able to throw high explosive
projectiIes through the hickest armor of
our enemies to explode inside their war
ships, while they in turn would be able
only to penetrate our ar1nor with solid
shot, or at least carrying no bursting
charge whatever"
He thought the moral of these new
developments is that the ponderOus
battleship must go, and be reDlaced by
the small. swift torpedo boat or tor
pedo gunboat and cruiser.

1T FOLLOWS THE FLAG.
That Is What Supreme Court Decis-
ion Means Says Mr. Curtis


ion Means Says Mr. Curtis
Congressman Charles Curtis has re-
turned from Washington Il do not
think there viii be any delay" he said
in conversation with a State Journal
reporter this morning, lin the opening
of the Oklahoma Indian lands. as Lone
Wolf, the Indian who was N alzing the
complaint, was not speaking with the
authority Of the tribe, but was only
airing his own views and wishes.
The Indians are satisfied" he con-
tinued, with the exception of Lone
Wolf. His complaint is concerning the
laying out Of the large pasture LANDS
for the Indians. He feels aggrieved be-
cause only 80. 900 acres have been laid
out near his home while about 100000
acres have been laid out in the southern
portion"
what do you think about the
chances of an extra session of con-
gress2 the reporter asked.
IT have not carefully examined the
Spooner BILL he answered, but / am
satisfied that the president will take
such actions as are necessary, but
do not believe that it Will be necessary
to call the extra session. But the ques-
ton has been referred to the attorney
general. and I have no doubt but that
he viii give his opinion in a few days
Yes" he continued. 'the supreme
court decision that the constitution fol-
lows the flag is the all-absorbing topic
of conversation in Washington. Little
knots of men stand on the street cor
ners and argue that question from
morning till night Opinion seems to
be pretty thoroughly divided. and in the
failure of four of the nine judges of the
supreme court to concur in the opinion,
material for discussion and argument
on both sides is furnished.
1.-THE decision sustains the contention
of a large number of Republican con-
gressmen that congress has the right
to pass such laws as are needed to gov
ern the territory"

The Lawrence Journal for Saturday
continued the following hattering notice
OF the concert given Friday evening. by
the Ladies Music club quartette of To-
pelSa- The quartette is composed of
Mrs. Frank Thomas, Mrs. l. S. Ferry,
Mrs. A. R. L4ingafelt and Mrs. Frank
Foster.
An appreciative audience listened to
the musicale given by the ladies quar-
tette OF the Topeka Music club, for the
benefit of the Plymouth Church Daugh-
tiers building fund. yesterday afternoon
at the home of Hon J. d. Bowersock.
The programme was indeed a choice ore
and it would be hard to single out the
most delightful features But perhaps
the singing by the quartette gave the
most pleasure. The rarely cultivated
voices blended 50 sweetIy and the parts
so well balanced, that the beautiful Sc
lections were rendered with much ex-
preston and afforded a rare treat for
those who were present The piano and
violin solo together with the solos Of
Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Iingafelt were
received with much applause. Should
they come again a private residence
would not contain those who would wish
10 hear them.
