Mahan Brothers VIII Control
the Property.
le 100 foot piece Of property

The valuable 13o-foot piece Of property
on the southwest corner Of Douglas and
Santa Fe avenues was sold yesterday for
$1,000. The property is directly west OF
the Union depot and between the whole
sale house OF Jet & Woods and Douglas
avenue. For twenty years it was the
site Of the City Mills
When the Wichita National bank failed
the mills. which were closely identified
with it. became an asset.
As such il was sold 10 Frank Frazier OF
Il Dorado. He rented II 10 Caldwell &
Stevens, giving them an option 10 buy
II within a specified time. Shortly be-
fore the option was up the building was
burned and Mr.. Frazier, the owner, COL
lected the insurance, amounting 70 S. SO
IN the meantime the property began in
creasing il value and when the time limit
Of the option arrived Caldwell & Stevens
notified Mr.. Frazier that they would take
the property az the option price minus
the amount of insurance collected. This
Mr.. Frazier refused 20 do and the prop
erty became involved in a law suit. IN

MIR. HAY AND THE SENATE.

1t is said in Washington dispatches that
Mr.. Hay, Secretary of State, will not UNI
dertake to negotiate another treaty with
Great Britain bearing on the Nicaragua
canal. He feels that no treaty he could
negotiate would be acceptable to the Sen
ate. In connection with the last treaty,
known as the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, his
motives were misconstrued and many
things were charged against him OF which
he says he was entirely innocent. Ii
is reported that New England Senator
who is a member of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, told him that he would
be wasting his time II he negotiated an
other treaty. In the opinion Of that Sen
ator the Senate would not accept any
treaty that he negotiated.
His course, it seems will be to let the
whole matter rest where It Is. When
Congress meets next winter the reply Of
Great Britain to the Senate amendments
to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty will be read
and referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations. That committee will proba-
bly, report to the Senate the line of ac-
llOt iHdt ludN bOuy Will approve. w nat
course the Senate will take is of course

however, that there is a great deal of

ton declaring the ClaytonIBulwer treaty
abrogated. 1t would not be surprising
therefore II the Senate should pass that
resolution, and decide to go ahead with
the construction OF the canal. In that
case Great Britain would be free to take
whatever course she pleased. She might
think 1t advisable to provoke war. but
the chances are she wouldn't.
In the meantime the transcontinental
railroads will use all their influence to
prevent any action by the Senate. They
are more powerful now than at any previ-
Gus time. That they have friends in the
Senate there can hardly be doubt. But
It is doubtful II there lis enough Of them

CUBA AND THE PLATP AMEND.
MENTS.

The impression is growing stronger that
the Cuban constitutional convention will
accept the Platt amendments. The pres
ence in the island of number of Ameri-
can Senators and Representatives is hav-
ing a good effect. The Cubans are being
told that If they reject the Plat amend
ments they may not be able to get as
good terms from the Congress which will
assemble next December.
The whole country is of course aware
that the Plat amendments were adopted
by Republican Congress, and those who
are telling the Cubans that the chances
of their getting better terms from the
next Congress, which Is more strongly
Republican than the last Congress was,
are not worth considering, are Republi-
cans. And why is it that the Repub-
Leans are not willing to trust the Cubans
with complete Independence? The reason
is, as stated by strong Philadelphia Re-
publican recently, that the riff-raff Of the
island dominated by one hundred or more
negro generals, are unfit for self-govern-
ment. The element that composes this
TlH-Tdu IS IuduB UP 10 very great eA-
tent of negroes.
In other words, the Republican party
does not think the negroes of Cuba are
At for self-government. And yet 1t was
that party which insisted upon turning
over the Southern states, after the Civil
War, to the negroes. At that time the
Republican party not only insisted that
the former slaves should dominate
the South. but 1t pretended to believe
that they were better qualified to repre-
sent the South in Congress.
Evidently the Republican party is TAX
ing a view Of the negroes ability for self
government different from that which II
held during the carpet-bag period, or else
during that period II was not sincere in
making the former slaves dominant in
the public affairs Of the South. The truth
no doubt is that it knew Just as
well then as IL knows now, that the negro
was not fit to dominate in public affairs
but 1t wanted 10 punish the Southern
states, and II also wanted to control
them. Now that II is not Influenced BY
any such motives, it admits that it would
be a mistake to turn Cuba entirely over
to an element that is practically dominat-
ed by negroes.

rRouBLous TIMES IN RUSSIA.

! There are troublous times in store for
[ Russia The demand for justice is be-
I coming more general and more irnpera-
( tive. The people are becoming more in
/ tellizent. and with the increase OF intel
I ligence their restlessness under the alb
solutism Of the Cars government be-
comes more pronounced. The whips OF
the Cossaeks may hold the masses in sub
lection while longer. but even the Cos
sacks may revolt against the disagree
able duties imposed upon them
The Gar Is spoken of by travellers who
have had the opportunity Of meeting him
as a kindly hearted man. II that is his
character then he IS not his own mas
ter. He is but the figure head OF sys-
TEN that is tyrannicaI in the extreme.
And his life IS not such as to bring out
what Is best in his nature. His life is
in danger all the time. II is said that
in his palace in St Petersburg he occu-
pies a room that IS protected with steel
armor. According TO the dispatches. when
he went to his country place a few
days ago for safety he Travelled IN an
armored car. He IS never sure that some
Of those about him are not plotting
against his life. He lives in constant
dread of the assassin.
And what was the cause OF the present
trou5l-the trouble in which the stu
dents and workmen are arrayed against
the police IN St. Petersburg and other
cities? Nothing more than petition from
the students that when force is used
against them properly constituted court
shall determine the use of such force was
necessary. or justified by any facts in
the possession of the police. that there
be a definite time for such a court to
render It's decisions and that the rules
regulating the conduct OF the police to-
wards the students be made public. II
would not have hesitated to grant this
petition. But it did, and hence the out
break.
The cause for sending the petition to
the Gar was an attack. more than a
month ago, upon students who were fe-
turning from some college celebration
They had made no demonstration against
the government and had no intention Of
making any Because they were in com
pany with each other and were singing
songs the Cossack police set upon them
with their whips and dashed them I'M
mercifully. Under such circumstances it
would seem as If the petition relative
20 the police was one that ought to have
been granted. The students did not ask
that the police be prohibited from using
their whips. They simply asked that
when they did use them they be required
to show before a competent court that
the use of them was necessary.
The Car argued. probably, that If he
should grant the petition the act would
be construed to mean that his govern
ment was not infallible-that he was liza
bic to make mistakes, and that. therefore,
in the minds of a large number of his
subjects there would be a loss Of respect
for him. Some of the most enlightened
men of his empire requested that the
petition OF the students be granted and
they were reprimanded for interfering in
the matter. 1t is not strange, therefore,
that there is a growing feeling in Rus
sia against a government that is capable
of such injustice, such tyranny.

The current month has been character

them there is not one with more pictur-
