NO POCKETS PICKED.
Circus Comes and Goes and Not a
Complaint Is Made.

Tt is a rare occurrence for a circus
to visit Topeka without several com
plants of pocket picking, but it is a
fact that none have been reported up
to the present as a result of the visit
of Ringlings. Chief Stahl was notified
by the show detective that two gangs
Of 'pickpockets were following the show
and requested that all possible precau-
lions be taken to suppress them.
Many citizens "guyed" the brilliantly
uniformed policeman who mingled with
the crowd around the ticket wagons,
and asked them if the entire force was
going to take in the show, but it was
probably due to the imposing member
on hand that the Hght-fingered pocket
book collectors failed to do any dam
age.

No Word Regarding EngIand's
Refusal to Sign Treaty.

Washington. Aug. THE state de-

Rockhil for several days as to the sit
uation of affairs at Pekin. and is at a
loss to understand the reasons for the
reported refusal Of the English min
lister to sign the treaty 1t is said, how
ever. that Mr.. Rockhill will be heard
from very fully on the subject in case
the delay bodies any serious issue over
the conclusion of the negotiations.
There is an earnest desire throughout
Official quarters to have done with the
long drawn out controversy, and as all
parties seen agreed on this it is not
apprehended that the present delay Will
affect any Of the vital features of the
Agreement

In Savannah.

SAVANNAH, Jan. 28.-Joseph Bartlett
was drowned night before last while
seeking to steal sailor from an italian

LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA
Important Matters Claiming Atten-

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. %. - The
two houses of the general assembly of
Alabama will convene tomorrow CTues-
day. at 10 o'clock. The legislature, un-
der the constitution, has 25 more work
ing days to it's credit, but as holiday

Among the measures to be discussed
are the revenue act, creation of state
pardoning board, reapportionment and
anti-whisky bills. AS TO the latter, the

mingham Grand Jury.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. %. - The
grand jury has returned two true bills
against T. p Mcdonald for murder in
the second degree. The defendant is a
well known young man about town.
He is charged with killing Joe Ashby
and Thomas Fitzpatrick, as the result Of
a difficulty which occurred in the Peer
less saloon last November. The men
were drinking together and a dispute
arose between two of them.
Mcdonald was playing the part of
peacemaker, so it is claimed, when
general shooting occurred. Mcdonald
pulled his pistol and, it is alleged, shots
from it killed Ashby and Fitzpatrick.

scribes in detail how, after an after
issue of stamps had been made for the
Cuban service, the surcharged stamps
were destroyed. For the purpose of con-
Quoting the destruction, Director Gen
eral Rathbone appointed a commission,
he SAYS, composed of himself (Neely),
Auditor Reeves of the registry division
and Marfield. an Ohioan. 1t has been
alleged that Nicely stole many thousand
collars worth of stamps by burning in
their place packages of waste paper. In
reference to this charge, Neely says
about these stamps:
"The man who says they were not de-
stroyed, or who says that I said the
packages contained only brown paper,
tells damnable lie. Save for one or
two packages, they were in their origi.
nal form, the seal of the department un-
broken. and if they contained only
brown paper the fraud was committed
in Washington before the stamps were
shipped to Cuba"
