READY FOR THEM.
Marshal Sterne and Police Are
Watching For Convicts.

Preparations were made in Topeka to-
day to attempt the capture of the
escaped convicts from the federal prison
at LeavenWorth in the event they came
this way.
United States Marshal Sterne has
three deputies under him in this juris-
diction. They have been on the alert
to catch the deSperadOeS although no
communications have been made them
officially from the authorities at Leav-
enworth- The preparations were prob
ably unnecessary as the escaped prison.
ers apparently are making their escape
in another direction.
The Topeka police have not yet re-
ceived photographs and descriptions OF
the cOnVictS who eScap ped from Leaven-
They will hold up and investigate all
suspicious looking strangers to whom
they will pay special attention. 1t will
be extremely dangerous for any hobo
elevated" who makes foolish motions
when questionable the escaped convicts
are known to be well armed, and the
police will take no long chances in add
ing to the list of killed or wounded. 1t
is the general opinion that the fugitiveS
will avoid the larger towns. and stay
pretty close together until they reach
the Indian Territory or some unpopu-
lated section of the country.
The police department expect to re-
ceive full descriptions of the escaped
prisoners by tonight AS Topeka was
not suspected or being the destination OF
any of the gang, the prison authorities
neglected to notify them at once, pay
ing more attention to the country south
of Leavenworth, the direction taken by
the convicts when they started.
AS most of them secured citizens cloth
ing by holding up people along the line
of retreat, they will greatly resemble
ordinary travellers especially as the
state prison has ceased the practice of
close hair cuts, which often led to the
detection of escaped prisoners on former
occasions.

PLATT TURNED DOWN.
President Roosevelt Lays Down
Law to Republican Boss.

Washington, d. c., Nov. S.-President
Roosevelt laid down the law to Senator
Tom Platt of New York and demon
strated that he is master of the situa-
ton as much in New York as in other
parts of the union. Two or three weeks
ago Mr.. Platt came on here to see the
president about the New York Offices
The senator was particularly anxious to
secure the retention of Collector B1dWell.
The New York custom house has always
been considered the most important piece
have been some more or less serious
charges filed against Collector BidweH,
particularly to show that he has been
Derniciously active in politics and has
~ against the Democrats, but against the
factions of his own party with winch ne
at odds
been the appraisership, held by Wilbur
F. Wakeman, who was appointed through
the influence of former Secretary Bliss
Wakeman has always been bitterly OPP
posed by Platt. Many charges have been
filed against him, too. and Senator
PIatt has secured the strong support OF
Secretary Gage. The secretary and the
senator united on MIR. Whitehead, treas
ury clerk who has had charge OF the
customs of Porto Rico, for the appraiser
ship. President Roosevelt told Plat Two
weeks ago that he would decide the case
some time after election
The result was that the senator came
from New York on Monday night and
was on hand at the White House early
Wednesday morning. The president took
formed Mr. Plat that he could not ex-
pect to succeed with his own man and
at the same time drive out his enemy
Col. Roosevelt said in so many words
Bidwen would have to go, too, and that

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Have you
noticed the beautiful spectacle in the
western sky during the early hours of
the evening? Three brilliant planets
Venus. Jupiter and Saturn-are almost
in conjunction. Venus, which is rapid
ly overtaking Jupiter and Saturn. will
pass the former on November II and
the latter on November Is. Jupiter and
Saturn Will then be about one degree
apart, with Venus about three degrees
south of them. Venus is, of course, the
most brilliant of the three. because
Jupiter is seven times as far away and
Saturn is twice the distance of Jupiter
You should feast your eyes on this
stellar combination for two reasons
because it is surprisingly beautiful and
because you will not see it again for
900 wears

TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK.
Schley Court of Inquiry Will
Commence on Its Findings.

Washington, Nov.S.-The Schley court
of inquiry today is transferring its eff
fects from the gunner's workshop in
the navy yard to the uptown quarters,
in the Mclean building, Vermont ave-
nue., and H streets. which will be the
consulting quarters. No effort will be
made by the members of the court here
even to confer upon the case however
before next Monday because they are
in need of mental and physical rest.
The court will ask the navy department
to supply it with clerical assistance and
a stenographer to do the mechanical
work involved in the preparation of the
work In order that the court may abb
solutely control such assistants, it is
probable that recourse will be had to
men in the naval service such as yeO-
men, who are subject to naval disci
pline.
Capt. Lem1y, the judge advocate of
the court has gone to Kansas City, Mo-.
to attend the meeting of the National
Prison association, in which he is in
terested by reason of the fact that he is
specially charged with the conduct of
the naval prisons at Boston, Norfolk
and elsewhere.

vent a Delaware Appointment

Washington. Nov. s.-The Addicks
faction in Delaware has received a Sc
we're jolt by the appointment of Robert
G. Houston as collector of customs at

NO MORE PIE.
President Will Make No More
Appointments at Present.

Washington, Nov. s-President Roose-
welt has decided not to make any more
appointments until congress meets. All
recess appointees must be reappointed
upon the assembling of congress and the
president thinks that all the larger ap-
pointments should be held up until he
can send the names directly to the SEN
ate.
No immediate action therefore will be
taken in the case of the appraisership
and collectorship of the port of New
York. Such action as has been taken
has not been determined definitely but
if the present inclination of the presi-
dent prevails both Appraiser Wakeman
and Collector Bidwel will be succeeded
by other appointeeS.

Of it. She has just put it to use where
by the government is benefited as well
as the people. She needed money and
came to the United States to get it. She
offered her bonds to American capital
lists but they declined to take them,
probably being doubtful about the Sc

postal banks were turned to account.
The governments bonds were deposit
ted and an equivalent in cash was
taken out. There will be no foreign
debt and the interest will go to the
