Started to County Jail.

In company with E. ". Shields and W. s. Davis, the unstable started with his pris- oner to the county jail.
 When they had walked about a quarter of mile the constable decided to search his prisoner. He found a pair of brass knucks and a pistol on Bailey. but before s he could seize them the negro snatched loose and began firing. Constable Fields returned the fire. The negro took five shots at the officer of the law, but his aim was bad.
 A crowd of negroes had been following and from this crowd came flashes and re- ports of pistol shots. MT. Davis was struck in the arm, bus no other damage was done.
 The desperado slipped through the crowd.
 It appeared then that the shooting would be the preliminary to more serious trouble Whites and blacks gathered in the streets. There were threatening murmurs of trou- bie. Both sides were armed. The police were telephoned for. When they arrived the situation was alarming. The presence Of the blue coats was reassuring and the threatened trouble passed away.

THE BRIEFS IN THE
 ""A REGAIN CASES
RIGHT TO ASSESS Dup.-
Ex-Secretary Carlisle Wal Make Verbal Presentation of His Views-Asked to Define Certain Propositions.
 What the Text Means.

Washington, January 7-Ex-Secretary Carlisle, who appears as leading counsel against the government in the Porto Rican customs cases, the argument in which will begin in the United States Supreme Court tomorrow, will not file an individual brief, but will content himself with the verbal pre- sentation of his views. His name, however, appears as counsel in the brief in the Dooler cases, involving the right to assess duties on articles brought into Porto Rico from other parts of the United States, and also sent from Porto Rico into other parts of the United States, before and after the Paris treaty of peace, and also after Con- gress had passed the Porto Ricam act. Hen ry w. W. Ward filed these briefs in the Supreme Court today. Following is a sum- mary of the argument:
 First At all times since the ratification of the treaty Porto Rico has been part of the United States.
 Second As a consequence of the treaty the entire sovereignty over Porto Rico has become vested in the United States, but the executive and legislative departments of the federal government have only such power in relation to Porto Rico as is grant, ed to them by the constitution.
 Third. The President had not the power, under the constitution, to make or enforce the order of January 20, 1899, in so far it i'm posed duties upon articles of merchandise brought into Porto Rico from other parts of the United States.
 In maintaining these points no time is spent in discussing the power of the United a tn nd hoI 1tSfd fer that power having "become firmly estab- lished."
 In support of the first point, it is con- tended that by the operation of the Paris treaty Porto Rico has become as much a portion of the United States as any one of the organized States or territories.

DIDN'T KNOW CROKER.
Neighbor at Vantage Unacquainteo
With Tammany Chieftain.

New York, Oct. 22-When the Cunard
Liner Etruria, from Liverpool, was tied
to her pier yesterday one of the first OF
the saloon passengers to walk down the
gang plank to the shore was Col Cole
brooke Carter, of the English army, and
a resident of Vantage, England.
An enthusiastic sportsman, Col. Car
ter is on his way to Canada to visit
friends and engage in a hunting expedi-
ton. He was dressed in an outing suit
of gray Scotch cloth, with knee breech-
es. In the expectation that something
could be learned of the home life of
Richard Croker, whose English estate is
in Vantage, Col Carter was asked
about his neighbor.
Croker? Croker?" said Col. Carter.
''Yes, he has a place about six miles
distant from mine. but do not know
him, except by sight. see him but very
little, and really can tell you nothing
about him. In fact, did not know he
was here, as you say
When told that Mr.. Croker was here
to lead one side in a fight for the cleo
ton of a mayor of New York Col Car
ter was again surprised.
REALLY. You know we are not ac-
quainted with him or his politics, and I
don't think he is generally known
among the residents of Vantage, ex-
cept that we all know that he resides
there. OF course, he is not in society
there-that is, not to my knowledge"

ter the hounds. but he could not say
that he ever rode past the gates of Mr..

Calling For Important Changes

WINE ROOMS MUST GO.
Says They Are Greatest Menace

Committee Will Act on the
Mayors Suggestion.

Chicago. Oct. 22.-Mayor Harrison has
submitted to the city council a age
in which he urges that the committee
on licenses prepare an ordinance for
bidding the establishment and main-
tenance of wine rooms or private apart
ments in any dram shop within the linn
it's of the city of Chicago
Public morals suffer damage from
the wine room more than from any
other cause says the mayor. 1T Is
not necessary to particularize the evils
resulting from their toleration; the
evils are self-evident and firm steps
should be taken to uproot them Tne
passage of an ordinance of this char
acter, while working no hardship to
any reputable saloonkeeper, will un-
questionably bring about salutary re-
suits of the most far-reaching char
acter-'
It is stated that the committee will
report such an ordinance as the mayor
suggests. The passage of the measure e
would work a radical change in the
regulation of the city's saloons

Kansas Accountants Have Sc

Session Opens With the I'm

No One Was Present to Make
Opening Address.
Gov. Stanley and Mr.. Troutman
Got Mixed.

The Kansas Association of Account
ants and 'Boolxkeepers convened in ses-
sion in Topeka this morning at the
National hotel under rather trying cir
cumstances.
When President w. E. Hart, of En-
poria, called the association to order
there were but 13 members present. The
experts, who can run their eyes over
a column of figures and tell what the
sum is, had no trouble in glancing at
the assembled throng and finding Ii as
the result.
The accountants were superstitious,
and at once objected to doing business
with an unlucky number present, SO
scouts were sent out to rustic the
fourteenth man. He was found, and
then the meeting opened in proper
style, except that the speaker to make
the opening address was not present.
Governor w. E. Stanley and ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor James A. TrOutman
were expected. There was a mixup in
the arrangements some way, and each
was asked to speak and each found
that the other had been invited, so the
story goes, and each sent regrets. Gov
ernor Stanley did not wish to crowd
Mr.. Troutman to the wall and Mr.
Troutman did not wish to ,overshadow
the governor, so w. E. Hart, of Em-
response he had prepared for the ad-
dress of welcome.

had increased materially The annual

INDEPENDENT CRETE.
Prince George Is Negotiating For the
Islands Freedom.

Copenhagen, Oct 22-Negotiations
have been reopened between the four
protecting powers with regard to the
independence of Crete. King George of
Greece had long conferences on the sub
ject with the czar and King Edward at
Fredensborg, and the question is the
principal object of his visit to Paris,
from which city he will proceed to vi
emma to discuss the matter.
During his tour year ago Prince
George of Greece (high commissioner of
Crete) although unable to obtain any
support of his proposal for the annexa-
ton of the island to Greece, secured the
adhesion of the powers to a scheme of
independence But on his return to
Crete he found that Russia was not
ready to fulfill her promise; and now
his father, who is regarded as a more
astute diplomatist, has undertaken to
pave the way, and later Prince George
viii personally confer with the four
powers concerned.

NEWS FROM TOBACCO WAR.
Duke Says He Will Beat the British
If It Cost q Million.

New York, Oct. 22.-The London COR
respondent of the Herald cables the fol-
lowing additional details concerning the
tobacco war in Great Britain.
Developments are still awaited in the
struggle which seems to be pointing to
English and American tobacco manu-
facturers for supremacy in trade.
Mr.. ]. b. Duke, leader of the Amer1-
can combination, who is at present in
Liverpool, is reported to have said that
he will capture the British trade with
in the next four years or lose a million
sterling in the attempt
This challenge has been accepted by
the foremost British manufacturers,
who are mastering their forces as
quickly as possible.
Since the list of firms who have band
ed themselves together to fight the
American invasion was published the
English com bination has received sew
era1 additional supporters. Other firms
are expected to join in when the strug-
gle has commenced in real earnest
For the present both sides seem to
be playing a waiting game. The Amer
lean invaders made a move when they
granted a concession to retail tobacco
firms encoura ging them to Immediately
stock UP with their brands, but English
manufacturers regard it merely as a
feint.
There has been as yet no striking re-
duction in the prices of any of the
goods of the American combine, but it
is rumored in well informed circles that
important developments will shortly
take place.

do you think you will receive your
appointment as pension commissioner %

s'Yes,'' said Mr.. Leland positively.
MY appointment is safe. 1t will be
made
Concerning the souabble in the First
district for congressman, he was asked:
s'Will Judge Stuart of Troy come out
as an opponent to Charles Curtis?''
NO" said Mr.. Leland, Judge Stuart
will not be a candidate. He will only
be candidate for reelection to his
judgeship.
what do you think of w j. Bailey's
candidacy for the governorship?
Bailey is not yet an avowed candi-
date If he comes out for the Office he
will be found strong man Every
body who knows Bailey likes him. He
is good, clean man."
Morton Albaugh was elated over the
good showing his bank statement of
Saturday had made.
IN 1897 there was on deposit in the
state banks s16,000,000. Look at the
wonderful increase since that time
There is now on deposit nearly $43,

do Just about the same volume of busi-
ness as the state banks. In 1897 the
deposits of the national banks were
slightly more than those of the state

KING FIGHTS SHY.
British Ruler Not to Preside at Cabi-
net Meetings.

New York, Oct. 22.-The king is not
likely on his arrival in London to adopt
Capt. Bowles' fantastic suggestion and
resume the exercise of the royal priv
ilege of presiding at cabinet council,
says the Tribune's London representa-
tive. The king will not meddle with
the business of the Salisbury ministry
and thereby accept political RESPONSE
bilities for the inefficiency of the gov
ernment- His authority will be exerted
silently and without observation, as
was Queen Victoria's before him.
The journey of the Duke of Cornwall
and York around the empire, while
planned by Queen Victoria, was sane
toned by the king. Now that it is
ending, it is regarded as the best stroke
of imperial politics of the year and the
king receives full credit for persistine
in carrying it out.
The kings time will be occupied for
many weeks with the details of the
coronation, which is distinctively
court affair. Norfolk house. st. James
square, is already a clearing house for
precedents and points of etiquette. The
earl marshal and staff are closely en-
ployed in receiving applications from
peers and peeresses settling disputed
points respecting the material of cos
TUNES, length of trains, relations of cor
onets to feathers and wells. and hun
dred other matters.

Their Loot

Lowell, Mass, Oct. 22.-The loot of the
Merchants National bank by Smith. its
teller, and Swift, it's bookkeeper, on
Thursday last, is far greater than was
suspected by those directly connected
with the bank. The securities and mon
eys returned to the directors by j. G.
Burke, counsel for Swift, represented a
total it is said, of about $500, 900.
Mr. Burke said that no agreement
was entered upon to shield his clients,
for he added, that would be Illegal
When told that it was understood
that United States officers were search
ing for the men, Mr.. Burke said it would
be useless.
1t is known that Mrs. Smith and Mrs.
Swift have been in communication with
their husbands since the securities were
returned.
