READY IN 80 DAYS.
New Telephone Plant Will Soon
Be in Operation.

'eWithin 80 days I expect to have my
Topeka exchange in operation" said B.
F. Pankey today. Mr. Pankey is the
proprietor of the new Independent Tel
ephone company. Continuing, Mr..
Panlxey said
Il could open my exchange with 500
phones, if l could get men enough to
do the work of putting them in. Orders
for phones are coming in fast without
any solicitation. 1t simply shows that
the service which Topeka has been get
ting is not satisfactory, and people want
the improved facilities which the Inde-
pendent lines will give"
Mr. Pankey has employed as his chief
operator Miss Emma Schaeffer. She
will be in charge of the telephone ex-
change, and will hire the force Of hello
girls" At the start of the new company,
five girls will be employed. Miss
Schaeffer has been in charge of the
Pankey toll line ever since it's advent in
Topeka. Prior to that she was clerk
of w. c. Stephenson in his real estate
office. She is regarded as a most for
operator of the new Topeka line
The work of removing the headquar-
ters of the Independent Telephone com
pany to its new quarters between Fifth
and Sixth on Kansas avenue is in pro-
gress today The wires are also being
strung on the mile and a half of new
poles extending west from Kansas ave-
nue., to form the entrance to town of the
toll lines. On Monday Mr.. Pankey' s
men will go to work setting poles in the
business part of town. Mr.. Panlxey to-
day took out excavation permits for
this work.
The poles which Mr.. Pankey is setting
are the finest ever brought to Topeka.
They come from Utah and Washington,
and are of variety never before used
in Topeka. Heretofore. the freight rates
on poles from the northwest have been
so high that poles used here have been
secured mostly in Arkansas.
All the plans for the Independent
company's line are being made in ac-
cord with the latest improved systems
of telephony, and the indications are
that Topeka will be given a good SER
vice at a moderate price. Mr.. Pankey
has not yet made public announcement
of his rates.

AS DEWEY SEES 1T.
Admiral Discusses Schley Mat
ter With the President.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Admiral Dewey
called upon President Roosevelt but did
not discuss with him the Schley court
of inquiry except to tell the president
the public session of the court would be
concluded in a few days
when we begin to sift the testi-
mony," said the admiral, "Our real work
will begin When Secretary Long asked
me to be president of the court, / felt
that 1 would rather go through another
battle in Manila bay. The hardest part
of this work will be wading through
the mass of testimony and reaching our
conclusions have two able associates
however and realize that we are on
trial before the country as well as the
court. Two abler. better men could not
have been secured than Admirals Ben
ham and Ramsay"
Admiral Dewey said that the court
probably would take I'D each charge
in the precept, review the testimony and
then give the facts as they found them
and give such an opinion as they called
for. He did not know that this would
be done as he had not discussed the
case with his associates. but it had oc-
CURED to him that this would be a good
plan. He felt, he said, that the Ameri-
can people would want to see their rea-
sons in detail and were entitled to know
them.

PROCLAMATION.
President Appoints November
2S a Day of Thanksgiving.

Washington, Nov. 2.-President Roose-
velt today issued his proclamation fix
ing Thursday, November %. as a day
of national thanksgiving 1t follows:
A PROCLAMATION.
1.-THE season is nigh when according
to the tine-hallowed custom of our
people, the president appoints a day as
the especial occasion for praise and
thanksgiving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
of a great and good president We
mourn President Mckinley because we
so loved and honored him; and the
manner of his death should awaken in
the breasts of our people a keen an
xiety for the country and at the same
time resolute purpose not to be driven
by any calamity from the path of
strong, orderly, popular liberty, which
as a nation we have thus far safely
trod.
yet in spite of this great disaster
it is nevertheless true that no people
on earth has such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have The past year
in particular has been one of peace and
plenty. We have proSpered in things
material, and have been able to work
for our own uplifting in things intel
lectua1 and spiritual Let us remember
that, as much has been given US, much
will be expected from us; and that true
homage comes from the heart as well
deeds We can best prove our thank
fulness to the Almighty by the way in
which, on this earth and at this time,
each of US does his duty to his fellow
men,
Now, therefore, T. Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States do desig-
Thursday, the 2sth Of this present Noyem--
Der, and do recommend that throughout
wonted occupations and at their several
homes and places of worship thank the

SULTAN GIVES UP.
Saws He Will Do Whatever
France Demands.
Pays One Claim and Agrees to
Pay the Others.

Paris, Nov. 2.-The dispatch of Ad-
nniral Caillards squadron from Toulon
to Turkish waters, has already had its
effect. The French foreign Office today
received a telegram from M. Bapst,
councillor of the French legation at Con-
stantinople, announcing that the sultan
yesterday sent him a message accepting
all the French claims including the
LOrando claim.
The porte also telegraphed to the
French minister of foreign affairs, M.
Delcasse, informing him that the Lorando
claim had been settled and that the sui
tan had signed an trade, accepting the
figure fixed by France for the payment
of the claim. M. Delcasse proceeded to
the ElySee Palace and to the ministry
of the interior, and consulted with
President Loubet, the premier, M. Wal
deck-Rousseau and the minister of
marine, M. De Lanessan. He after
wards had another conference with M.
Waldeck- Rousseau. 1t is understood the
French government also will demand an
understanding that Turkey will not re-
new the recent interference with the
diplomatic mail bags.

ROBBERS SECURE S239
Thieves Make a Rich Haul at the
Home of John Schmidt.

John Schmidt was robbed Thursday
night of s2S9.S7. The burglars entered
his home at 132 Monroe street and took
the money from the book case
Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt were away
from home in the evening, and do not
know whether the robbery took place
during their absence or while they were
asleep. When Mr.. Schmidt arose Fri
day morning he found that burglars
had entered the house by the kitchen
window and had ransacked every
drawer and closet in the house. The
robbers took S239.37 from the book case
where it was secreted, but missed S27
in silver and $40 in paper money. They
rified Mr.. Schmidt's clothes and left
them in the kitchen, but overlooked his
watch. Mr. Schmidt reported the rob-
berry to the police, but the officers have
failed to find any clue and therefore
have been trying to keep the matter
hushed up.

TURN To CROANS
Cheers For the Return Of the
Duke of York
Disturbed by Newsboys Crying
the South African Disaster.

London, Nov. 2-The cheers that
greeted the Duke and Duchess of Corn
wall and York today as they passed on
their return from their world tour
through the crowded streets of London
were intermin gled with the shrill cries
of the newsboys shouting Terrible dis
aster in South Africa Beneath the
jubilation on the safe arrival of the heir
apparent there existed a keen under
current of grief and anger over the de-
feat of Col. Bensons column. OF the
thousands who lined the route from
Victoria station to Marlborough house
many were personally concerned in the
236 British casualties incurred in this
latest reverse, and while the duke and
duchess were welcomed back with great
heartiness, the crowds could not shut
their eyes to the mocking contrast be-
tween the pageant and the serious news
of the morning.

100 HOURS TO EUROPE
Scheme For Fast Transportation
From New York to London.

New York Nov. New York to
London in 100 hours is the problem for
which two great American railroad
companies are considering two solu-
tions. says the Journal and Advertiser.
The New York Central's engineers are
working out the details of a plan in
volving the following route to Europe,
with a view of determining its mechan-
ica1 and commercial probability: New
York to Boston by New York Central &
Hudson River and Boston & Albany
lines; Boston to ST. John, N. B.. by
Boston & Maine railroad and connec-
tions; ST. John to port on the Irish
west coast by a line of swift steamers
to be established; by rail to Dublin;
packet across Irish channel; rail to Lon
don. Time, four days, four hours.
Pennsylvania railroad officials and
Clement A Griscom, of the American
Steamship company, are having
brought to their attention anew the
long cherished plan of Austin Corbin,
port at Montauk Point, cutting many
hours off the trip by way of Sandy
Hook and making through traffic for
the Long Island railroad. The COrbin
plan as modified and proposed by the
Pennsylvania, which now controls the
Long Island, makes two jumps of the
ocean voyage, as follows: New York
to Greenport by Long Island railroad.
The East river tunnel, when completed,
would make this a two-hour run with
out change from a terminal in down

HARRIS NOT SANGUINE.
Hardly Expects to Be Reelected
to u. s. Senate.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2.-WilIiam
A. Harris, senior senator from Kansas,
sat in the lobby of the Riggs hotel last
evening, talking with friends on va
rious topics. Senator Harris since he
became a figure in national politics, has
made many friends. Of modest bear
ing and amiable temper, he is also
recognized for ability in many direc-
tions, and as a practical man of affairs
his peers are few.
In answer to a question regarding his
own political fortunes, the senator said
that he was not at all sanguine of re-
election, owing to the fact that the Re-
publicanS would have a large prepOn-
derance of the senators in the Kansas
legislature, by reason of so many of
that party belonging in the list of
"holdovers," when the time came for
choosing his own successor.
However, his official career does not
end until March, 1908, and there may
be political surprises in store in the
state of Kansas that has often fur
nished startling sensations along that
line.
particular legislation he would be in
terested in during the coming congress.
Senator Harris stated that he expected
to devote much of his time to matters
pertaining to the establishment of the
Nicaragua canal. AS a member of the
canal commission he is reputed to be
one of the best informed men in con-
gress on this important question.
Among other legislation the senator
is particularly interested in the pass
age of a bill he introduced during the
last few days of the last session. This
measure will amend the civil service
laws so that preference will be given
to civil war veterans in appointments,
retention and promotion, provided that
they possess business capacity neces-
sary for the proper discharge of the
duties of the offices or employment.

TO RACE IN AIR.
Aero Club to Devote Itself to Balloon
ing Contest.

New York, Nov. "A dispatch to the
Herald from London says:
The Daily Mail gives an account of
the birth of the Aero club which will
devote itself to ballooning.
AS the balloon of the future promises
to become an automobile. it is not
strange that the Aero club should be
the offspring of the we'll known automo-
bile club which will immediate ac-
quire the balloons of one or more ex-
pert aeronauts. Thus equipped it's mem
bers will hold races in midair and 9TH
er contests. Every week there will be
ascents This will be confined to mem
bers of the club. NJ. Santos-Dumont is
to be an honorary member and John
Scott-Montagu, c. s. Rolls, Sir Dav-
id Salomons, Col. Tenpler, r. E. Simar,
the Rev. NJ. J. Bacon and officials of the
Automobile club are all mentioned as
supporters.
IF the success of the movement in
France may be an augury," said a well
known automobilist, then the success
of the new Aero club in Great Britain
is assured.
"Aeronautics are the cult of the fu-
ture. We want more roads. We shall
find them in the air.

A Portion of English Army Re-

Over Sixty Killed and 16O Are
Wounded.
AT CLOSE QUARTERS.
Attack Was Made Under Cover
of Fog.
Kitchener Thinks Two Guns
Encf Rnf Tcv,3k

London, Nov. 2-Lord Kitchener has
reported to the war office disaster
to the British near Bethel, eastern
Transvaal, in which two guns were
lost, several officers killed or wounded,
and "a men were killed and 100
wounded.
Following is the text of Lord Kitch-
eners dispatch, dated Pretoria, No
vember l.:
Il have just heard of a severe attack
made on the rear guard of Colonel
Benson's column when about twenty
miles northwest of Bethel. near Broken
laagte, during thick mist.
1.-The strength of the enemy is re-
ported to have been a thousand. They
rushed two guns with the rear guard,
but it is uncertain whether they were
able to remove them.
Il fear our casualties were heavy.
Colonel Benson was wounded, but not
seriously. A relieving column will
reach him this morning."
Later Lord Kitchener telegraphed as
follows:
Colonel Barter. who marched from
the constabulary line yesterday, reached
Benson's column early this morning
(F'riday) unopposed. He reports that
Colonel Benson died of his wounds.
THE other casualties are the fol-
lowing:
D. Murray, Captains M. w. Lindsay
and F. Thorould, Lieutenants E. v. 1.
Brooks and r. E. Shepherd and Second
Lieutenant A. J. Cortlett. Died of his
wounds, Captain Eyre Loud"
Lord Kitchener then gives the names
of thirteen other officers who were
wounded, most of them severely, and
announces that "a non-commissfoned
wounded, adding that four of the latter
have since died of their wounds. The
dispatch then says:
81 assume that the two guns have
been recovered and the enemy has been
Withdrawn, but I have no further de-
tails.
ST deeply regret the loss of Colonel
Benson and the other officers and men
who fell with him. In Benson the ser
vice loses a most gallant and capable
officer, who invariably led his column
with marked success and judgment
1.-THE fighting was at very close quar-
ters and maintained with determination
on both sides. The enemy suffered heav-
lily, but have not yet received a reliable
estimate.
1.-The Beers retired east''
Colonel Benson had been for some
time operating in the vicinity Of Bethel,
which is northeast of Standerton- He
surprised a Boer 1aager October % near
Trichardsfontein taking 81 prisoners.
Three days later, according to Lord
Kitchener's report at the time, after a
long night march, the commanders un-
der Groebela and Erasmus heavily at
tackled Benson's rear guard and fanks
at Yzirvarkfontein but were easily
driven away
Whether this was the attack which
resulted SO disastrously whether the
Beers who had been repulsed took ad-
vantage of the mist to renew the at
tack is still unexplained. Lord Kitch-
ener does not give the date of the
Bethel engagement.
MORE OFFICERS KILLED.
London. Nov. 2.-Lord Kitchener re-
ports that three additional officers were
killed and two more wounded on the
attack made on the rear guard of Col.
