 Unless the President receives additional information upon the subject he will communicate this recommendation to Genator Hoar, chairman of the judiciary committee, when Congress meets.
 The opponents of Bryan will continue the fight and have requested the Presi- dent to send an impartial agent to Ala hama to investigate Bryans record. They claim the result would show that the President in appointing Bryan is not car rying out his Southern policy of se- lecting clean men for Federal positions.

LEANING ON RUSSIA.
United States Relies Upon Gar
For Miss Stones Release.

Washington, Oct. 21.-There has been
no report since Saturday, at the state
departm ent from Turkey or from Bul-
garia, touching Miss Stones case The
officials however, are by no means dis
couraged and are still confident that
they will succeed in saving her life, but
whether by diplomacy, or by force, IS
not clear 1t is gathered that the
friendship of the Russian government
has much to do with the confidence OF
the officials here.
That government has responded In
the most cordial spirit to the appeal OF
the state department, which unable IL
self from geographical and political
reasons to exert pressure upon the gov
ernmeat of Bulgaria has been pleased
to avail itself of the powerful influence
of Russia on that government Inc
Turkish government has for its part,
responded in the same spirit to the ap-
peal of the United States and a1togeth-
er the two governments, Turkish and
Bulgarian probably have been put to
degree of expense equal to the amount
of the ransom demanded by MISS
Stones captors, in the military opera
tions they have already directed in her
interests.

WANT BIBLE READ
Ministers Take Steps to Have 1t
in Schools.
Will Ask to Have Scriptural
Reading introduced.
CHOSEN BY COMMITTEE
Passages to Be Read Would Be
Carefully Selected.
Ministerial Uniou to Take
Further Action Nov. 4.

The Topeka Ministerial union has be-
gun a movement to secure scriptural
readings in all the public schools of the
city each day.
The subject was brought before the
members of the Ministerial union at
the meeting this morning at the Y. Nj.
c. A. parlors by Canon Bywater, OF
Grace cathedral
The subject was made the topic for
special discussion at the next meeting
of the club, Monday morning, Novem-
Der 4. Canon Bywater will prepare a
paper to read in which he will discuss
the proposition from all points.
Two members of the school board.
Rev. F. E. Mallory and Rev. A 5.
Embree, are also members of the Min
isterial union, and material aid in Sc
curing the adoption of the plan Is
looked for from them. City Superin-
tendent of Public instruction W. Nj.
Davidson will be asked to attend the
meeting and hear the reading Of the
paper and the discussion. He will be
asked to attend as a guest of the men,
bers of the union. Any suggestions he
may offer will be given consideration.
The plan is not to secure doctrinal
teaching of the Bible in the schools
Only a portion of the Bible will be read,
and that will be done without comment
or teaching.
Our PLAN" said Canon Bywater TO
a State Journal reporter, rs to secure
the adoption of the measures looking
toward the establishment of the custom
of reading the scriptures in the schools.
The idea is not to teach the Bible. but
to have a chapter or a portion OF "A
chapter read each morning. The matter
of the selection of the portion to be
read could well be left to a commit
tee"
The members of the union who were
present at the meeting this morning
were unanimously in favor of the pro
ject.
The committee, composed Of p. v
Crannell, of the First Baptist church,
chairman; Hal Smith. of the Cumber-

Government Places Elevation of To-

It seems that the elevation of Topeka

bred feet and more
The government has just issued a book
which gives the elevation OF IoPek5
above the level of the sea as determined
by the weather bureau as 99S feet The
book also gives the elevation as deter
mined by the Santa Fe as SS6, by the
Rock Island as $50, the Missouri Pacific
$685. the Union Pacific $50. The mark on
the Columbian building gives the eleva-
ton as 945 feet Observer Jennings ex-
plains the variations by saying that the
government figures mean the top of the
Columbian building where the instru~
ments of the office are and that the varl-
atoms of the railroad figures are due TO
the up and down hillness of the city.

AHARyEST OF BLOOD.
Austrian Paper Says Beers Will Re-
pay England's Inhumanity.

New York, Oct. pa London Times
special to the New York Times says;
Referring to the fresh outbreak OF
Anglophobia in Vienna, correspondent
in the Austrian capital quotes the es-
peciaIly influential Catholic organ, the
vaterland which publishes an article
headed Lord Kitchener as a hang
man." 1t says the commander-in-chief
of the British forces in South Africa, in
despair of being able to conquer the
Beers by honest war, has for long
time had recourse to brutality. His
bloodthirstiness was formerly restrained
by the British government, but 1t now
appears that a free hand has been
given to him.
The Vaterland goes on to say that
the announcement that Commandant
General Botha will meet violence by
reprisals will convince all that the
Beers are not intimidated but only ex-
asperated, by Lord Kitchener's inhu-
manity. The sanguinary seed sown by
the British commander will produce a
harvest of blood, and none can blame
the Boer leaders If they have recourse
to a terrible retribution.
