EanecIally KANSAS EInur.

Kansas City, Feb. IA. Jacobs, a
large importer of flour in Holland,
whose home is in Rotterdam, is here to
make contracts for Kansas flour. Mr..
Jacobs said:
"There are two reasons why we use
American flour. First, Our own great
wheat country, Russia, is not able to
supply us with half of what we con
sumo The second reason and the
more important, is that American flour,
and especially Kansas flour, is the best
in the world, and commands premium
in all markets of the globe. We are
doing more business with America now
than ever before, and 1 am sure that
trade between the two countries will
increase right along. Holland places
no tariff on American flour, because
our people use so much of it and like
it SO well. Dutch merchants are slow
to make new trade alliances, but we
are beginning to like you Americans,
and your goods are SO superior that
we are glad to be able to buy them"

Chamber Adopts Resolution Over Gov

Brussels, Feb. lin the chamber
of deputies petition inviting Belgium
to offer to arbitrate between Great
Britain and the Transvaal was debated
at some length. The foreign minis
ter, NJ. De Favreau, said the govern
ment did not object to the petition
being referred to committee but they
considered the authors of the petition
mistook the meaning of article 81 Of
The Hague convention under which it
was desired to act. NJ. Jensen urged
that the powers should be put into
practice Hague engagement and thus
end a homicidal conflict. Other depu-
ties spoke in similar terms.
NJ. Manehout, reporter OF the com
mission, having the petition in charge,
said he would support petition sug-
costing Belgian proposal of arbitra-
ton in the South African war.
NJ: Jansen proposed motion APP
proving the conclusion of the commits
sion dealing with the petition.
NJ. De Favereau repeated that
Intervention by Belgium was impossi-

new WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.
American Invention Equal to The
Marconi System.
READ BY DOTS AND DAsHES.

Washington, Feb. ia new system
of wireless telegraphy has been devel-
cped by the weather bureau.
''It is success" said Willis S. Moore,
chief of the bureau. 1--WE have been
experimenting for a year at Cobbs
Island, in the Patomac river.
I'VE have completed an apparatus
which we expect will enable us to
signal ships 500 miles or more out at
sea. We will soon send out ships
equipped with receiving instruments.
We have just completed station at
Roanoalze, n. c., and will soon have
stations at Hatterass and Cape Henry.
1--WE have succeeded in telegraphing
perfectly with our wireless system for
sixty miles over rough country
around Washington. That, believe
is equal to the best transmission that
has ever been accomplished by the
Marconi method Our system is quite
distinct from his, and is being devel-
oped along our own lines.
1--WE succeeded in sending messages
for some distance from a staff only
three feet high. We established a
regular communication between the
laboratory and Washington, 60 miles.
A staff 100 feet high was on the place,
and at the top we placed our instru-
ments. We were able to communicate
as regularly and as freely as though
we were working over wires. The
speed of the waves was practically that
of light.
I'VE used system of dots and
dashes and our receiver was of the
'sounder' type. We read messages by
sound. We expect, however, to devel-
opa receiver that will record messages.
Notwithstanding our success, it does
not seem that wireless telegraphy is
developed yet to the point where it
can be used for the ordinary CONNER
cial purposes on land. The earth dis
turbances and the conditions that
surround cities would prove obsta-

tocracy. The Republican papers are
giving Mr.. Cleveland's letter the widest
publicity-they think it is the very
acme of human wisdom. They are very
anxious that Grover should reorgaiiize
the Democracy on Republican lines in
favor of aristocracy and against the
rights of the people. The wide spread
sympathy for Cleveland among Repub-
licans ought to be enough to convince
His letter is voice from the tombs-a
whistle in a graveyard-it is as II a
dead man tried to participate in the
festivities of his own wake.
Mr.. Cleveland closes his long and
very dull letter by saying: Give the
rank and file chance
Haven't they had chance? Didn't
they organize the new Democracy at
Chicago in 1896? Didn't they at that
time repudiate Grover Cleveland and
all his works? The last two conven-
tons were run by the rank and file
of the party instead of the leaders and
they made the party better than it
has been for fifty years.
Bryan and Cleveland.
Now the men that deserted the party
and consorted with it's enemies want
to turn down those men and put none
but traitors on guard. 1t is very pos
sible that they may succeed, too. Many
Democrats are getting mighty hungry
and in order to get some loaves and
fishes they may desert Bryan and
go to Cleveland.
There is an irrepressible conflict in
the party-Bryan and Cleveland are as
far apart as the poles-there will be no
peace until one faction is entirely trf-
umphant and the other faction cast
into outer darkness-it will probably
be a repetition of the battle of the
Kilkenny cats. The total destruction
of the Democratic party will be an
unmixed blessing to all the people.

pope's Reception to Cent.nari.u.

Of the many picturesque and inter
esting incidents of the Holy Year, none
has been more so than the recent re-
ception by Leo XIII. of Donna Carolina
Tanturelli, an aged lady from Perugia,
who attained her hundred and first
year in January last. On account OF
her great age the Pontiff granted her
a private audience. Much to his sur
prise, Donna Carolina reminded him
that they first met in her late hus-
bands house in 1850, fifty years age" "
and, added she, I'VE were neither Of us
very young then" The pope, who is
only nine years her junior, was great
ly amused. Donna Carolina Tantu-
relli, is not, however, the Oldest woman
in Italy; a still greater centenarian
lives in Naples, who is said to be Ill
years Of age.

1t is said that the most successful
filtration plants are at Albany-where
the water is taken from the Hudson
river-at Lawrence, Mass, and Pat
terson, N. j.. and in each of these
cases the conditions are similar to
those in Washington. They use what
is known as the soft-sand system:
that is, the water percolates through
beds of loose sand. By this means, it
is claimed the water can be purified
of earthly substances and all germs
A curious fact is that the different kind
of germs destroy each other in the
sand. This method has also been sue
cessfully used in England and Ger
many. Another method of filtration
which has been also successful includes
the use of alum as purifier. This,
however, is said to be more expensive
and no more effective than the Or
binary sand.-Chicago Record.

New York, Feb. 9.-Major General
Elwell S. Otis was the guest of honor

There were about 200 gentlemen pres

General Otis, toasts and communica-
tions were heard.
WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minis
ter, sent letter of declination as
follows:
''While l appreciate your courtesy
highly, feel that am obliged to de-
cline for the following reasons:
81 admit that feel great admiration
for General Otis as military COM
marder and respect him highly as
gentleman, but j think he, while mill
tary governor, committed an egregious
error and did great injustice to the
Chinese by introducing the Chinese
exclusion acts into the Philippines,
which has stirred up race prejudice
and done harm to those islands.
while believe that General Otis
acted upon the i'll advice of some one,
still if 1 were to attend the dinner
given in his honor l could not decline
the invitation to say something con-
corning the general and what have
to say might not be pleasant to the
general or his fellow banqueters to
hear, though as 1 said above, hold
him personally in very high esteem"

OLNEY'S WORDS FULLY JUSTI-
FLED.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican: The
most scathing indictment of the money
power in politics during the recent
presidential campaingn came from the
pen of Richard Olney when he an
nounced his preference for the Bryan
presidential candidacy. There were
many who regarded his utterance as
extreme. Yet the justification of his
indictment may now be based upon the
single fact of the triumphant return
of Mr.. Quay of Pennsylvania to the
United States senate. So sodden tri-
umph of plutocratic power impels us
to turn back to Mr. Olney's words and
ask If they were not an accurate des-
cription of the influence of CONNER
