SQUARE DECLARATION
Brought Out by an Application by Senator Cullom for the Prefer ment of Officers From His Own State - The President Afflrms That Advancement Will Be Made Only Upon Merit.

Washington, Nov. g. President Roosevelt today declared to Senator Cullom of Illinois. that in making pro motions to brigadier generalships he would be governed by records: that it was his intention to promote those whose records showed them to be the most deserving of promotion. and that neither personal considera tions nor influence would count. Senator Cullom had appealed on behalf of Ma jor Balance. who went into the army from Peoria, and Major McClerand. son of General McClerand- The latter was General Shafter's adjutant during the Santiago campaign.
 Senator Burrows of Michigan talked with the president today about finan- cial legislation. Senator Burrows is a member of the finance committee of the senate. and is strongly opposed at this time to any further reduction Of the government income. II do not be- lieve." he said, that it would be wise to tinker with the revenues until We know exactly what money will be need ed. If we are to build the Nicara qua canal. and provide liberal amounts for the improvement of rivers and har- bors. it would be the height of folly at this time to slash revenues.

TEE CANAL PROJECTS
No Official Expression in Favor of
 Either Route.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The isthmian canal commission will meet next Tues day to add the finishing touches to it's report. It can be stated on authority that the commission has not yet re- ported up to this time in favor of either the Nicaraguan or the Panama project, consequently the question has not fig ured before the cabinet. and the ad- ministration has not expressed a pref erence for either route.
 It is expected that the commission will not undertake to either accept or reject the proposition of President Hutin, looking to the acquisition by this government of the Pah-.na com pany's concession. However. it will lay the proposition before the presi- dent and congress.
 It can be stated also. by authority. that in view of the well understood favor with which congress has here tofore regarded the Nicaragua route, the decision of the executive depart ment will be in favor of the project.

RURAL MAIL ROUTE.
Infested by Wildcats, Snakes and
 Ghosts.

Wilkesbarre. Nov. 9.-The strange happenings on the Berwick free deliv- cry route still continue, and the car riers are becoming much worried.
 Three of them who drive the wagon from Berwick to various points in the country round have had thrilling ex- periences. and the last is the worst of the lot. A couple of weeks ago a large catamount sprang from a tree at Car rier John Jacoby's horse and seized it's head. The horse shook the animal off and dashed down the mountain to Der wick. Jacoby having all he could do to cling to the wagon and trust to luck
 A short time later Carrier Henry Tressler's horse stopped short and shied into the bush. Tressler saw an enormous snake in the road. which he described as thick as a mans leg. It disappeared in the brush and is sup posed to be a python which escaped from a circus at Berwick a year ago.
 Carrier O. F. Evans noticed that while passing Martzville cemetery, in Briar Creek township. his horse acted in a peculiar manner and boIted. This occurred twice before Evans saw the cause of it. and then the other night he beheld a terrifying white object rise at the cemetery fence and wave its arms. He let the horse bolt, and now takes a circuitous route. He says he does not believe in ghosts, and thinks the apparition is some joker with sheet, but he is not going to take any chances.
 The carriers are demoralized by these occurrences, and each is now armed with a double barreled gun.

shoot at and. returning, just this side of the Phoenix hospital he ran righ: into q rabbit that was crouched and already to spring at him. He shot three times as fast as he could. but the rabbit was so close it saw his eye twinkle and lodged every shot Before the gun stopped smoking the bluecoats were upon him and ordered him into court. He would have shot at them, but he knew he couldn't hit them if he did.
 In court he said he did not know he was inside the city limits or he would have restrained himself. The town has been growing so fast lately he does not know where the limits are. He had strained his eyes looking for the imaginary line. but could not see it. The recorder fined him s3. He said he would willingly pay 1t had he got the rabbit. but he didn't. Thereupon the court, in view of his previous good con- duct in the care of the city plaza ami his general reputation Tor observance of law. suspended the fine until further orders.
 Joseph Thomas, who got sick and took the Busch cure for his illness, was fined S5. He tried to beg off on the ground that he never did it before and would never do it again. But the court was as adamant.
 The other case was Babe His troubles are many. and, as usual. h, had a new story to tell. He might have been drinking, but he couldn't have been disorderly because he never does anything but joke a little" But the worst of his case was that he had been robbed of two ten dollar bills. or thought he had. and therefore could not pay his s4 fine. He had put an extra touch on his toilet for his ap- pearance in court and had a badge of the Young Mems Democratic club pined on his necktie- It was suggested i that the club pay his fine.

MAKING HIMSELF SOLID
A Story Dug Up by the Washington Correspondent of the Los Angeles Express, Who Claims to Have As certained That President Roose- welt Himself Is in Favor of Ex- clusion Legislation.

Los Angeles. Nov. 9.-A special from Ting Fang. the Chinese minister here is responsible for the renewal of the talk that the Geary Chinese exclusion act may not be superseded at the next session of congress by another act for the keeping Of the Chinese out of the country. Wu is circulating these re- ports for the purpose of making such an impression upon his home govern ment as will prevent his being recalled. He is trying to create the belief that. he is likely to be successful in defeat- ing exclusion legislation
 The statement made today that Sec retary Gage will recommend allowing Chinese immigration, is absolutely un- true. Your correspondent today asked Secretary Gage whether he would recommend any such thing. He said: ''I shall make no recommendation. nor shall I recommend anything regard ing Chinese exclusion. It is not my business to do so. That is d matter which rests entirely with the state de- pertinent and with congress. That disposes of one bogy man.
 President Roosevelt is strongly in favor of the reenactment of the Geary act. one similar to it. That state ment can be made in the most unqual- flied terms, because the president him self has said so within the past twenty four hours. There is just one govern ment official who opposes Chinese eX- clusion. He is Assistant Secretary of the Treaury Taylor. and he said just before the last presidential campaign that he did not believe in exclusion. For that he was sharply rebuked by Secretary Gage and President McKin- ley, and since that break Taylor has kept quiet on the subject.

APPLES IN KANSAS.
Value of This Years Crop Over Eff
 teen Million Dollars.

Topeka. Kan, Nov. 9.-Kansas rais- es something else besides wheat and corn, cattle and cranks. She also raises some apples. The figures given below will testify to this fact These ,statis- tics were obtained from the Kansas Horticultural society. While the yield and prices are estimated. yet they are more than a conservative guess. Like 4. D. Coburn of the agricultural board. Secretary William Burnes of the hor ticultural society always underesti- mates a crop rather than overestimates it. For this reason it can be depended upon that Kansas this year has raised more apples than are given below. rather than fewer.
 Kansas apple statistics for the pres ent year: Number of acres in apple orchars, 159.640; number of bearing trees. 7.533, 35S; average crop per tree. bushels, 3la; total crop for state. 23. 266. 753: average price per bushel. cents, 69; total value of crop, s15.S20 051.S0; average gross receipts, per acre. $99-

SUFFICIENTLY LOYAL
But Not Quite So Enthusiastic As Last
 Year.

London Nov. 9.-The lord mayors banquet at GoldhaI tonight closed the days festivities with a spectacular event, a gathering of 2.00O of the most Influential citizens of London, includ- ing the heads of the various govern ment departments, and gave an op- portunity for demonstration which the government was not slow to take advantage of.
 The presence of Lord Salisbury af- forded an excuse for reiteratinS the attitude of the government toward the South Africa controversy. The re- sponse of the great audience might be described as satisfactorily loyal. but not enthusiastic. Unlike last years s banquet when the war fever was at it's height, the military was q secon- dary feature. Lord Roberts was ab- sent. The war office was represented by only one under secretary.

MISS STONE COMPLAINS
Of the Enforced Moving About of the
 Bandits.

Sofia, Nov. 9.-In the latest letter received from Miss Stone she says she is exposed to much hardship and suf- fering. owing to the constant moving of the band over hills and ravines, not withstanding the rigors of winter. In consequence of this activity, which has lately been increased by the Bulgarian troops, the condition of Madame Tslika. Miss Stones companion, is even more pitiable, owing to her reported accOuchement.
 The belief that Miss Stone is con cealed in a village is thus discredited. as is the reported birth of the child to Mime. Tslika. The monastery of Rielo was searched by the authorities, as the prisoners were reported to be con- cealed there. Troops are also searching the neighboring hills

II HUNG CHANG IN STATE
The Diplomatic Corps Renders Its
 Homage.

Pekin, Nov. 9.-The foreign ministers plain mourning, to the late Ii Hung Chang's yamen and presented their condolences. according to the Chinese custom. Chinese soldiers lined the streets near the yamen and great crowds which gathered in the streets and about the yamen were perfectly orderly. All the city officials received the ministers in the outer court. The coffin was in a spacious inner court. temporarily roofed. It rested on an altar behind a screen and had over it the royal pail. conferred by the em- peror's command. an honor hereto fore bestowed only on members of the imperial family. Many Buddhist priests were in attendance.
 There were rows or tables bearing offerings of food. amounting to several tons. and piles of paper money. Can dles and incense were burned about the coffin. Ii Hung Chang's two sons stood near the casket attired in sack cloth. Before the screen was a cush- ion. where the Chinese callers made prostrations. Ministers. however, stepped forward singly and bowed low. The dean of the diplomatic corps read an address of sympathy, to which the eldest son of the dece=-ed statesman replied in Chinese, the younger son interpreting his words into English. The scene about the yamen was ami mated and picturesque. and hundreds of officials were present. in their robes Of office. Mountained retainers are arriving daily from all parts of the proVince

KEEN COLLEGE MEN.
The Food of Harvard Brain Workers
 And Athletes.

Memorial Hall at Harvard where some twelve hundred of the men eat. is particularly interesting. The dfn- ing-room is an enormous gothic hall finished in old English oak with wide. stained-glass windows on the sides The walls are hung with portraits or ilustriouS graduates and benefactors of past generations.
 The students have good food to eat and plenty of it. The hall is run on a cooperative plan so that it costs something less than four dollars a week for board. To this place three times a day come men. whose lives for the time being are given to serious in tellectual work, and to accomplish this. they are keen enough to realize that proper food is absolutely necessary.
 One is particularly struck by the yellow packages of GrapeNuts stand ing on nearly every table, which the men purchase at grocery stores and bring in for their personal use They quickly find out by practical demon stration that brain work exhausts the phosphates, and that nature demands that this loss be made up, and made up from food
 Grape Nuts is ready to be used with out cooking. it is a scientific food which nourishes and builds up the brains and is particularly suited to the needs of students.
 The Varsity athletes. also eat it to keep their digestive organs in perfect working order SO that they can stand the great strain of both body and head-work when important contests shall come.
