LEMLEY is ARRESTED.
Policeman Has Been Charged
With Assault and Battery.

George Lenley. the police officer who
so severely dubbed Squire Blackman,
C. J. Devlin's coaehmans Saturday
night, was arrested this morning by
Constable Fred Stonestreet on a war
rant issued in Judge McCabe's court
charging him with assault and battery.
His bond was placed at 500. The trial
has been set for June 5.
The charge viii probably be changed
to assault with intent to kill. This is
contingent upon the state of Black
mans health. Last night Blackman
rested uneasily, and it was feared he
would be attacked by the lOckjaW. The
wounds on his head were painful, and
it is feared that the blow struck at the
base of the brain fractured the skull
Mr.. Devlin returned from Chicago
Tuesday, and after learning of the
affair Mr.. and Mrs Devlin called at
the house. 1t is expected that Mr..
Devlin will help in the prosecution of
the police officer.
The prosecution of Lemley is now be-
ing conducted by the local lodge of
colored Odd Fellows. w NJ. johnson,
charm an of the committee said to a
State Journal reporter this morning that
a suit would be brought for damages
against the city. Papers have already

POLITICS IN 1T.
Baker-Burton Contest in State Con-
tract For Paper.

The executive council is sitting this
afternoon to award contracts for paper
and supplies. Last year the paper con-
tract amounted 10 $4,000 in anticipation
of the session Of the legislature 1t will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000 this
year.
The fiscal year is drawing to a close.
It has just one month more to run. The
departmental supplies for the present
fiscal year are ebbing very low. There
has been q heavy drain. Four new su-
prene court judges were added and no
apprOpria lions made for furnishings and
established The tax commission had to
have supplies and stationery. The free
employment bureau was another new
thing that had to be fitted out Con-
sequently the stationery account at the
command Of the secretary of state is
about exhausted. There is less than $50
in it to finish out the month of June

Fort Scott. has had the contract for a
couple of years
Politics nearly always enter into the
letting of this contract, and from the
the Republican politicians in this city
it is judged that there will be a little
more politics than usual in the matter
this year Some time ago 1t was an
nounced by some of the Burton cohorts
at Fort Scott that Col. Richards would
oppose Mr. Rice in his efforts to renew
the contract because Mr.. Rice was a
Baker man in the campaign last fall.
This was generally understood at the
time by all except Col Richards and
Mr.. Rice, both Of whom denied it. The
report is now out again that the colonel
will have something to say to the ex-
ecutive council in the matter. 1t is
claimed by some of Mr.. Rice'S friends
among the Burton men in this city that
instead of opposing his getting the con-
tract Colonel Richards will endorse
him. This is not credited by the Baker
men.
The contract will be let this week. If
Mr. Rice gets it, Colonel Richards will
be given some credit for it, and if he
loses it the colonel will get some credit

WASHINGTON WILL WAIT.
Will Be No Immediate Expression on
Action of Cuban Convention.

Washington, May 29-Secretary Root
has received a cablegram from General
Wood at Havana, briefly confirming the
press report OF the adoption of the re-
port Of the committee on relations with
the United States accepting IN behalf Of
the convention the terms of the Plat
amendment. 1t is understood that with
out undertaking materially to change
the language OF the Plat amendment
the convention by the addition of re-
ports Of interviews with Secretary Root
and otherwise, has placed upon the
amendment itself, a construction that
will require very serious consideration.
Secretary Root has been in daily COM
munication by cable with Gen Wood
and is acquainted with the proceedings
Of the delegates and the negotiations
which led up to yesterdays action. Gen.
Wood in turn has acquainted the con-
stitutional delegates with the secre-
tarys views in answer to their efforts to
place a construction upon the Platt
amendment Hence the weight of Opin-
ion inclines to the belief that even as it
stands the conventions action yester-
day win not be disapproved from Wash
ington. 1t is suggested by the officials
that there Is no occasion at present for
the Washington government to take ac-
ton upon this matter, either by accept
ing or rejecting the conventions work.

EVERYBODY WILLING
That Germany Shall Take Won Wal
dersee Home

Berlin, May 29-The correspondent of
the Associated Press learns authorita-
lively that all the powers have accepted
Germany's proposition to withdraw
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee
from China and surrender the chief
command. In accepting the proposition.
the United States express satisfaction
at the extremely tactful and skillfui
manner in which Count Won Waldersee
discharged his most difficult duties and
at his great courtesy toward American
officers. The other powers, especially
Great Britain have expressed themselves
similarly in German circles The British
proposition that China pay the indeTnni-
ty by issuing bonds, making the interest
and sinking fund payments yearly
thereon, is now regarded as certain of
being accepted. Perhaps the acceptance
will be unanimous.
Germany's contingent remaining in

Congressman Curtis Visits the In
terror Department.

Washington. May Representative
Charles Curtis Of Kansas called at the
interior department today and urged
that the work of making allotments in
the Kiowa and wichita reservation
should be hurried forward.
Mr.. Curtis came here at the request OF
hundreds Of homesee<ers, who are look
ing wistfully forward to the settlement
of this reservation. They have been
worked up to a fever point by the recent
fling of a protest by Lone Wolf and 9TH
er Kiowa Indians against the opening Of
this reservation to white men.
Certain papers in the southwest have
exaggerated the importance Of this pro
test, stating that the department would
go no further in the allotments until
congress had considered the remon-
STRANGE.
As stated in these dispatches at the
time. the acting secretary stated that
the work Of making allotments would
not be delayed a moment. Mr.. Curtis
was so advised and he IS confident that
the reservation will be opened this fall.
and that the proclamation to this effect
would be issued not later than August
g.
Mr. Curtis says he received so many
hundreds of letters in regard TO the mat
ter that he felt compelled to come per
sonally to washington to urge early ac-
ton.

suit of Mrs Josephine A. Woodbury.,
of this city. claiming 100000 damages
from Mrs Mary Baker @. Eddy, OF
Concord. N. H, founder of the Christian
Scientist sect, for libel, was begun in
the Suffolk county superior court here
today, and according to the staten ent
of the different counsel it is likely to
consume the greater portion OF three
weeks. The suit was brought by Mrs

In her answer Mrs. Eddy admits that
the particular address was delivered on
the days and at the times named IN

clares that neither Mrs. Woodbury. nor
any other human being was meant by

Under the new law as properly inter-

the year for border cattlemen to bring
their cattle from pasturing in the terri
tory back into the state without paying
the inspection fee.
The cattlemen in the southern counties
complain that the law is all in favor of
the western cattlemen, who have abun-
dant pasturage. For them it prevents
