WILL NOT EXTEND SUFFRAGE
Kansas Legislators Oppose the Bill to Al
low Women to Vote for President
Less Talking from Members.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 26.-The first act
of the house Monday was to adopt a
resolution limiting speeches the rest
of the session to five minutes, a men,
Der to talk only once unless he be the
mover or author of the measure I'M
der discussion.
Every member of the house calender
revision committee set his face against
Helen Kimber's bill to grant presi-
Dental suffrage to women. The wo-
men contend that the statute gives
states the right of giving to women
this right without amending their
respective constitutions. When the
committee was appointed Miss Kimber
and Laura Johns Immediately be-
seiged the committee to advance this
bill, but it will not be done.

TO DESTROY 'PHoNE GERM.
Chicagoan Perfects an Antiseptte
Mouthpiece Which In Intended
to XIII Microbes.

The germs that inhabit the tele-
phones must find new quarters if re-
cent invention proves successful. A
Chicago man has perfected an antisep-
tic mouthpiece which is designed to
prove the undoing of the microbes.
Just how far the grip germs have taken
advantage of the telephone to spread
their contagion has been a matter Of
much discussion among medical men.
While it is admitted that telephones are
a possible agency of contagion, physi-
clans differ as to the degree of danger.
The new device is simple and can b
attached to the mouthpiece in q min
ute. It consists of a small double ben
shaped cylinder, quite like the rubber
mouthpiece now in use. The inners sheet
Of this cylinder is double, and between
the perforated sheets is layer of felt.
This felt absorbs antiseptic solution.
which may be renewed from time 10
time
The addition to the telephone Is hard
~ noticeable. The mouthpiece seems
merely to have been decorated with
nickel-plating. The odor of the anti
septic is barely discernible and is not
disagreeable. The device is not yet pat
ented. but patent has been applied
for.

ROOTS PHILIPPINE PLANa
Sudgc Taft VIII Be Governor General I
the Islands and His Associates
the Cabinet.

Washington, Feb. 26@Secretary
Root has completed preparations for
establishing civil government in the
Philippines as soon as the necessary
legislation is enacted by congress.
The plan that will probably be adopted
is to keep the commission intact, but
to make Judge Taft the governor
general and his associates members
of his cabinet. 1t is possible that ma
tives may be admitted to membership
in the cabinet. Maj. Gen. Macarthur
will be relieved in the spring by Maj.
Gen. Chaffee. The latter's functions
will be purely military. His troops
will be at the disposal of Judge Taft
for the suppression of disorders, just
as the troops of a state are available
for the maintenance of the peace at
the call of it's governor. It is stated
that as nearly as possible the new
government will be much like that
which the territory of Arizona has to-
day. Military officers will be relieved
of civil duty of whatever character,
and Americans and natives will be en-
ployed to attend to all civil matters.

CARNEGIE BEHIND IT.
The Wabash Road Will Build an Extensi0D
from Toledo to Pr. tsburg to
Cost $4,000, 900.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 26.-The oft-re-
peated threat of Andrew Carnegie to
build trunk line into Pittsburg and
the Compromised entry of the Wa
bash railway into this great tonnage
center are at last assured facts. The
Carnegie Steel company has entered
into arrangement with George Gould,
principal owner of the Wabash; Jo-
seph Ramsey, Jr., vice president and
general manager; Col. Myron T. Her.
rick, chairman of the Wheeling &
Lake Erie, and dozen Pittsburg
capitalists to furnish them with a
heavy tonnage to the west and south
west if they will build and lease lines
that will connect Pittsburg with To-
ledo, the present northern terminus
of the Wabash. The new railroad must
be started within six months and the
contract will continue for 20 years.
The road will cost $15,OO0,00O. Other
heavy tonnage contracts in the Pitts
burg district are guaranteed. This as
sures a new outlet for Pittsburg to
the west, despite the fact that j. Pier
pont Morgan and the Vanderbilt
Cassatt-Cowen railroad combination
has the Carnegie interests tied up I'M
der an option to sell. The contract
was signed three weeks ago and at a
time when the Morgan interests were
clamoring for the option on Mr.. Car
negie's holdings.

MRS. NATION OUT OF JAIL.
Temptation to Act as Editor for One Day
Too Great for Her to Resist and
She Accepted Bond.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 26.-Mrs. Nation
was released from the county Jail at
II o'clock Sunday night and at five
Monday morning left for Peoria, Ill, to
act as editor of the Peoria Journal
for one day, for which she is to be
paid $3.50. J. B. McAfee, of this city, is
Mrs. Nations bondsman. Rev. DR.. Nc
Farland, pastor of the First M. E.
church, also signed her bond. Mrs.
Nation has received several urgent
kilograms requesting her to come to
Peoria and her determination not to
give bond could not hold out against
the requests and so the last of the
crusaders is out of Jail. Mrs. Nation
went to the Santa Fe depot to leave at
midnight but the train was nine
hours late and she left at five o'clock
Monday morning. Before she went she
heard rumor of the joint-smashing.
Her only comment was "Praise God"

Pago-PagO. Samoa-COst 100000
and Will Hold 10000 Tons.

San Francisco. Feb. 26-Robert
Tibbitts, the contractor who for the
last seven months has been building
the United States government coaling
station and pier in the harbor of Pago-
Pago in the Samoan islands, has ar
rived here. He says the pier and other
structures costing 100000 will be

entirely of steel. All the piles are of
steel. They measure nine inches in dia-
meter and vary in length from 80 to
20 feet. On the shore just back of the
projecting pier is a large steel build
ing $50 feet long by 100 feet wide.
This is to be repository for 10000
tons of coal. Another similar build
ing is to be erected. Mr.. Tibbits de-
clares that there is no doubt that

Invasion q Failure.
London, Feb. 26.-Dispatches issued

the rumors that Dewet and Botha
have already surrendered. They, how
ever, show that both Boer command
ants have been badly mauled, and
that the invasion of Cape Colony has
been a decided failure. What may be
the outcome of Kitchener's successful
plan of campaign it is difficult to fore
tell. A paper startled it's readers by,
the announcement, on alleged good
authority, that Kitchener had indi-
Gated that Botha had asked for a
general surrender and that summonses
were issued for cabinet council to
consider the matter.
