MAY RACE AGAIN
With Change of Crews Just For an
Experiment.

BY soIipps- hcIaAs f'Tsns Assosistioa.
New York, Oct, 5.-Secretary Oddie
in discussing the plan for q race be-
tween Shamrock and Columbia with
changed crews, today, said as far as
the club was concerned the incident
was closed. What other arrange
ments might be made by Sir Thomas
and the Committee toward another
race of any kind he could not say.
ENGLAND WANTS 'EM TO TRY.
Boston, Oct. 5.-The Journal tele-
graphed Sir Thomas Upton asking
him if he would agree to have the
Shamrock pitted against the Columbia
the vessels changing crews. Upton
replied today that he would be glad
to agree "In the interests of the sport
of yachting, if the other side is will
ing" The Journal holds thatitwould
be conclusive test as to the relative
merits of the two boats.

AN OIL STRIKE AT TULSA
A Good FOw Found at Less Than 500
Feet Down.

Tulsa, l. T., Oct. AT a depth of
less than 800 feet the Tulsa Mining
company yesterday struck good flow
Of oil in the southwest part OF this
town. AS this 10 the first oil strike on
the north side of the Arkansas river,
lis attracting q great deal OF atten-
tion. The we'll has..not yet been tested
and little information has been given
out. All oil prespectors have been
promptly sued,by the district attorney
for unlawful occupancy of India n
lands, buaare paying: no attention to
suits. A new well came in yesterday
at Red Fork, five miles from Tulsa,
on the property Of the Phoenix Oil
company, and another is expected to
develop today on the property of the
Creek Oil and Gas company.
Newkirk, Ok, Oct. 4.-The promot-
ers OF the Newkirk Gas and Mineral
company capitalized for $25, 900, are
preparing gtodevelopits to lease holdings
in the eastern part of Kay county,
ABOUT nine miles from this place.
While drilling a we'll about five years
ago farmer struck flow of natural
gas at depth OF sixty feet, The gas
burned readily and the supply was
such that it burned night and day un-
Til the flame was extinguished, and the
we'll closed by the owner of the farm,
who had not proved up his claim and
feared litigation. This well lies among
broken ranges of limestone hills bor-
dering the valley of the Arkansas
river. The local company has leased
thousands of acres of land in the sur
rounding country. 1t is believed that
the geological formation is similar to
that in the natural gas region of Kan
sas. Many farmers have subscribed
for stock and enough money has been
paid into the treasury to sink the first
well.

ORIENTAL COMMERCE
OF the Future will be Carried on with
.. the Nations of the Orient


Seattle, WASH, Oct. 3.-"American
commerce with the Orient must in time
take the drst place, because We are
nearer the Orient than is any other
nation"
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, who
arrived late yesterday evening from a
six months trip, nearly all Of which
wac devoted to Manchuria, China,
and the Philippines, trip made for
the purpose of acquiring greater
familiarity with the latest phases OF
the complex Oriental question, made
the above statement.
Senator Beveridge had little to say
concerning Marquis Ito, who accom-
panied him.
marquis Ito" said he, sis the first
man OF the Orient. He is the founder
of constitutional government in
Japan"
Further than this the senator de-
clined to engage in conversation con-
cerning the Japanese statesman's sup
posed conversation with him on the
long voyage. On the voyage across
the Pacific they we're constantly Ito
gether.
Senator Beveridge hesitated to speak
of the Eastern question in an inter-
view.
"To speak," said he, "with any in.
telligence of the Far Eastern question,
so vast and important, seems difficult
and almost impossibleint the discursive
methods of an interview. 1t is a
question In which the American peo-
pie already feel very keen interest.
1t is question of paramount inn
portance to us because ourI markets
are involved.
''To the Orient the great Northwest
must look for greater prosperity. 1t
is the Orient which smust relieve the
country OF the whole of its surplus.
do not presume to doubt that the
Isthmian canal will be built. This will
make American trade with the entire
Orient In course of time the largest OF
any nation. But whether this canal
is built or not, American commerce
with the Orient must in time take first
place, because we are nearerthe Orient
than is any other nation.
Gan this is on the assumption thai
the ports OF the Orient will be KEEP
open to American goods. To keel
them open and to increase the markets
which those ports supply Is theproblen
in the great and vexed and complicat'
d Eastern question. They will no
emain open Of their own accord" !"

THE FORT SCOTT ROW
The Taxpayers League Backs Down
on the Joint Question.

Fort Scott, Kansas, Oct. 5-The tax
payers league, an orgaization to pro-
tect the business interests of the city,
today decided not to bring custer pro-
ceedings against Mayor C. w. Good
lander and the members of the city
council who permitted the saloonkeep-
ers to take 81, 100 in fines and pay it
to THEFT attorney, j. l. Sheppard, for
defending them against the injunction
suits.
The league made a lenghthy report in
which it is stated that their attorneys
advised that inasmuch as such con-
duct was without precedent, there is
no law by which the city could be
reached, The report also recommend
ed suitable legislation 10 protect pub
lie revenue and such measure will be
urged at the next Legislature. u
About month ago the League
passed a resolution declaring that the
city officials would be ousted from
Office for openly allowing saloon
revenue TO escape. The League closed
the saloons but thatis as lar as it got
]. |. Sheppard declared openly that il
custer proceedings were instituted he
would prosecute all owners OF build
ings who allowed ''bucket shops'' 10
run In them and also the frequenters.
This, y Is claimed, is responsible for
the action OF the League officials.

A ROOSEVELT REFORM
Executive Mansion" Has Given Way
to ''The White HOuse''on Presi-
Dental Saturdays.

Washington, Oct. g. President
Roosevelt has taken new departure
which will startle the old-timers in
Washington, but which, at the same
time, will do away with the pedantic
name which has always grated on the
ears. The executive mansion" has
been doomed and the "White House"
has officially taken its place. For
years all the presidential stationery
was dated from the Executive Man
sion," invitations were to the "Execu-
tive Mansion" congress appropriated
for the Executive Mansion" and the
bombastic and undemocratic name
was repeated in every official paper
on the subject.
President Roosevelt's first social
step has been to change all this. The
official stationery now is headed 1.-THE
White House," and invitations to
dine are dated from 1.-The White
House." and not the Executive Man
sion"
The presidents reasons for the step
are both characteristic and natural.
There are under ordinary circum-
stances some forty-fve executive
mansions" in this country, one in
each state, but only one white
House." 1t isthe desire to perpatuate
the name officially correct, that has
induced Mr.. Roosevelt to make this
change.
Some of the old-timers inIWashing-
ton, particularly those who pride
themselves on their pedigree and love
the lordly sound of the word 'man-
sion," are obiecting already to the
ovation, but the 'plain people,
or those who have heard ofthe change,
like it and commend the president for
the unflinching Americanism OF the
whole proceeding.

KRUGER FAILING
The Transvaal President is Growing
Weaker

The Hague, Oct. "A. d. Wolmarans,
one of the Boer ENJOYS, who has been
visiting Mr.. Kruger at Hilversum,
found the mental condition OF the ex-
president of the Transvaal by no
means satisfactory. Mr.. Kruger is
slowly growing weaker physically and
mentally. His slowness In reaching a
decision on important questions is
found to be serious hindrance to
those working in Europe in behalf OF
the Boer cause.
AT the slightest question regarding
his health Mr.. Kruger exhibits intense
irritation and vehemently denies that
anything Is wrong. The approach OF
winter causes anxiety, as Mr.. Kruger
refuses 10 leave Holland. ..
According to remark made by
Boer, the ex-president's condition
would long since have been much
worse II hatred of Great Britain did
not nerve him TO continue. He is 76
years old.
London, Oct. A dispatch from
Dundee, Natal, TO the London Times
says the Boer attack on Fort Italia
proves to have been a far bigger en-
gagement than could be gathered from
the first reports. The casualties on
both sides indicate the fierceness of
he struggle. The Boer casualties are
estimated at more than 400. The
British prisoners saw sixty Beers
buried on farms and assisted in car
rying of seventy-hve wounded. The
Beers informed the prisoners that
they expected to find the Fort Italia
garrison only 100 strong
There seem no doubt, the Times cor
respondent says, that the Beers in
tended combined invasion of Natal
east and west. II is stated that Gen
eral Dewet ordered the burghers in
the northeastern part of Orange River
colony to concentrate at Taelkop, but
up to now the only result of the move
ment has been the isolated invasion
of Natal by small commando, which
can easily be driven back.
British officers who were recently
prisoners say that General Botha's
men and horses are in good condition,
but the mems clothing is in bad shape.
The British prisoners have been de-
prived of nearly everything they pos
sessed.
The main body of the Beers is still
ear the Iululand frontier.

Mrs. ROOsexelt Will Not Attend The
Dutch Reformed Church.
Washington, Oct, AIRS Roosevelt
will hereafter occupy the Presidents
pew at St. Johns Protestant Episco-
pal church at Sixteenth and II streets.
This Is one of the Oldest and one of
the smallest churches in Washington,
and for many years one of the most
desirable pews in it has been reserved
for the use of the family of the Presi-
dent whenever he should worship
there. During the present admins
tration the pew has been occupied by
Secretary Hitchcock .and his family,
but on Mrs. Roosevelt's expressed de-
sire to attend that church 1t was at
once turned over to her. The Presi-
dent, as rule, will continue to attend
the Grace Reformed church at Fifteenth

Is HARD ON THE BRITISH
Kipling Gives the Army Hard
Roast.

London, Oct. 4-"In spite of tn,
pledges of the government the Who'll,
army machine is to be hauled back al
soon as 1t may be to the old rules o
impotence, pretense and collapse, )
writes Rudyard Kipling in striking
letter to the Spectator, upon the ap
pointments of Sir Redvers Butler anG
Sir Evelyn Wood to command army
corps.
This pungent sentence voices the
national feeling that has prevailed
this week without regard to party
politics. G
"Men see," adds Mr.. Kipling, "that
the chosen commanders are not qui
In touch with the real army, which,
with l.ttle tact and little seriou g.
ness, might 80 easily survive. 1t is
not the triviality or inaptitude dis.
played in this matter that appalls, bu,
the cynical levity." .0H.'.
Very much on these lines all the
weeklies, regardless of politics, take
the government TO task.
"The English people" again to
quote from Mr.. Kipling, ''have paid
no small price in money and in blood
that there might be born an army
handled by fit and proven leaders"
The Spectator, although among the
most cautious of the government S
supporters, comes out boldly, not only
with the declaration that the appoint
ment of Generals Butler and Wood are
absurd, but also with u demand that
Lord Kitchener be recalled. This
demand is nicely but Enthusiastically
worded.
From the moment Lord Roberts
left South Africa we seemed TO lose
our strategic graspupon the country, 4"
says the Spectator; and it urges,
though without much hope, that its
suggestion be accepted and Lord
Roberts be sent out again. Accord
ing to the Spectator, Lord Kitchener
"has accomplished nothing in year
except by the process OF attrition.
1t compares hislmethods with those
of Grant, but does not believe that "a
hammer man" is the man to command
in South Africa, although the Specta-
tor believes Lord Kitchener would
make an excellent commander-in- chief
at home. 1t suggests that Lord
Roberts should go back for six
months, Lord Kitchener either reliev-
ing him in London or acting again as
his chief OF staff in South Africa.
eff Lord Roberts went out to finish
the war;, says the Spectator, che
would, we believe, finish it by making
the best possible use of the material
in hand.n

WON THREE STRAIGHT
The co umbia took the Third Race
Last Friday


Highlands, Oct. 4-There is great
rejoicing here today. Once more the
Americans have proved their superb
ority to the British, both as sailors
and ship builders. Once more the
Defender has done valiant service and
the cup Is safe for another year. The
third race in the series bid fair to be
Shamrock victory today but the
Columbia again showed her speed on
the homeward run and the Shamrock
will return to British waters with a
record of three straight defeats. 1t is
a glorious victory and the good old
Columbia has added new laurels to
her already maj enifcent record.
In good condition and with two clean
cut victories to her credit the Cup de-
fender Columbia sailed forth this
morning to meet the Shamrock in what
many think is the deciding contest for
Americas cup this year. Many en-
tertain the sentimental hope that Lip
ton may win today's race as reward
for the true sportsman spirit he has
shown.
The Columbia's crew went abouttheir
preliminary work rejoicing but with
the characteristic British pluck. Lip
toms sailors were about early making
everything snug. A sixteen knot
breeze was blowing. The air was
cold and the seas white capped. The
Columbia crossed the line first at
eleven o'clock
1t was to the Shamro ck's advantage
to cross second as the wind was dead
stern. Still the Columbia profiled
to the extent of thirteen seconds lead.
The wind at this time was neither
steady nor strong. Both boats inn
mediately set their ballooners and
spinnakers. Sycamore of the Sham
rock cut off the Columbia's breeze
and in the latter's maneouvers to es-
cape, she lost the lead. Within nine
minutes of the start the Shamrock was
even. Then the Columbia forged "a
head again and at 1l:l6 was leading
by a minute. The Shamrock again
caught up and passed. the Columbia
and with her larger sail area was NOV
ing like flying COST. AT HIPS she
had opened up big gap and was
leading five minutes later by over one
minute.
The Shamrock rounded the outer
mark first by 5l.seconds. On the Sec
md leg she.was so far ahead that she
was able to cross the Columbia's bow.
BY l:23 the Columbia proftiug by her
superior ability to eat intoEthe wind
appeared on even terms. Both few
their baby iibs and:the.wind was none
too strong for a finish within the time
limit.
The wind was now blowing only six
or seven knots. At 2:l0 o'clock the
Columbia had trifing lead and
both boats were tacking every few
minutes hunting for air.
The last few miles proved to be
mere drifting match but the Columbia
sailed across the line ahead closing
the series OF ranea

ASSASSIN PRAISED
Emma Goldman Denounces the Late
President.


Chicago, Oct. 4.-Praise of Assassin
Czolgosz and denunciation of Presi.
dent Mckinley characterize the article
by Emma Goldma in Wednesday
issue of the Free Society, the firstissus
of the organ OF the anarchists since
the assassination. Her article in
part says:l .tt
Never before in the history of gov.

fed the self-sstisfed, Indifferent, con-
tented and fndolent public as has the

struck down William Mckinley, presi-
of the money kings and trust mag
nate of the country.
why this howl OF hired press?
Why such bloodthirs;y and violent
utterances from the clergy? Why the
mad rawlings Of the mob, the demand
for rigid laws to curtail freedom of
speech and the press? Now that the
impossible has happened, that even
America has given birth to the man
who struck down the king of the re-
public, they have lost their heads and
are shouting vengeance upon those
who for years have shown that the
conditions here were beginning to be
alarming and until halt be called
despotism would set its heavy foot on
the hitherto relatively free limbs of
the people.

Mayor Harrison has issued per-
emptory order to Chief of Police
O'Neill instructing him to prevent the
delivery of any lecture by Miss Gold
man in Chicago at the present time.
Her advertisement that she will give
publicly the lecture which Czolgosz
said first melted him to the commits
sion of his crime is declared by the
chief executive to be ''little short OF
the extreme of impudence." Any JUS
titication the police department may
need for the prevention may be found,
Mayor Harrison says. in the fact
that Miss Goldmars public appear
ance now would be likely to provoke
some breach of the peace.

tion for admission of his paper, the

lication he was told that he would

Pawnse County Is Not Original Habi
tation Of Pawnee indians.
Guthrie o. T., Oct 23.-A writer in the
Pawnee Dispatch tells of things Of leg
endary interest to the Osages as follows.
Pawnee county is generally supposed to
have been the home Of the Pawnee n
dians, but this IS a mistake; as the Paw
nees have only occupied these lands a
short time. Their home was IN Nebras-
ka. in the loop of the Platte river The
country We live in was the home OF the
