WANTS NO PRIVATEEsS.
Kruger Said to Have Been Asked TO
Arm VaSSa1s

ii \
Brussels, July s.-The Petit BLU
says that Mr.. Kruger has lately rA
fused to entertain proposals to arm
privateers, but that the promoters are
again urging the former president of
the South African republic to notify
the powers that unless they inter-
vene he will issue letters of marquee
In the event of Mr.. Kruger's refusal
the promoters propose to act without
authorization.
Washington, July s.-The report
from Brussels that former President
Kruger is being urged to notify the
powers that unless they intervene in
the South African contest he will
commission privateers, is not treated
seriously here.
1t is well understood, as one out
come with the war with Spain, that
the Uuited States government will
never again, except in extraordinary
emergency, issue letters of marque,
and the same reasons that impel the
government to this course undoubt-
eddy would prevent our government
from recognizing any such warrants
Issued by any other nations, even
were that nation in full standing.
In the case of the Spanish war
both the belligerents by agreement
refrained from isuing commissions
to privateers, and it now has been
many years since the flag of any
respectable nation has flown over
such craft. In the case of Mr..
Kruger it is extremely doubtful
whether he would, if the issue were
forced in this way, be recognized as
defacto president authorized to
issue commissions to privateers. That
point would have to be settled at the
outset and each nation whose com
merce was affected or was threat
ened by the privateers would de-
termine for itself his competency.
1t is scarcely to be expected that they
would decide against their own com
mercial interests so that Mr.. Kruger's
privateers would find it difficult to
secure general recognition.
The threat to send out privateers
without Mr.. Kruger's consent is idle.
1t is pointed out here that such craft
would be pirates pure and simple,
and the civilized world would sweep
them off the seas if they should be-
gin operations against the commerce
of the nations

Drank Carbollc Acid.

Castana, July 9.-Mrs. Webb Raw
lings, the wife of blacksmith at this
place, attempted to commit suicide
by drinking carbolic acid. She had
been respondent ever since a severe
attack of the measles, two years ago,
and continually brooded over her
trouble. The family was quaran-
tined for scarlet fever last winter,
and this seemed to increase her de-
spondency. About three weeks ago
she gave birth to daughter, and
since then it has been necessary to
watch her continually to prevent her
taking her own life. While her sis
ter went to well for pail of water,
the unfortunate woman found bot
tie of the acid, and drank over an
ounce, taking it from a teaspoon.
Help was at once summoned and
everything possible done for the suf-
ferer, but it is not thought she can

BAD FIRE AT DALLAS CENTER.

Entire Row of Frame Buildings Is De-
stroyed by Fire.
Dallas Center, July 5.-The business
section of Dallas Center lying north
of the main street, was wiped out by
fire last evening. The fire started in
furniture store, and, owing to the
high wind, spread rapidly. The build
ings We're all frame, and burned cas-
lily, making the fire a most difficult
one to eN.lnguish. The fire depart
ment was, of course, inefficient, as
in all small towns, and was able to
do little. The store in which the fire
started was completely destroyed, as
well as nine or ten of those sur
rounding it. The fire was only checked
after all the buildings in the row, ex-
cepting the brick bank building, were
destroyed. This building acted as a
wall to the flames, and prevented the
destruction of the eastern part of the
town, where two large lumber yards
were located. These yards caught
fire several times from flying sparks,
but heroic work of citizens saved
them. The buildings across the street
from the burned row were damaged
by the heat, but otherwise escaped
injury. The loss is estimated at
$4,000.

Des Moines, July 9.-Robert S. Fink

ing Saturday and went to the ball
him Saturday evening. 1t was the
third stroke, he having been attacked
five and four years ago. Mr.. Fink
bine had been feeling fairly well dur

game, which was his usual custom,
and had enjoyed the sport i'm
mensely. He took street car and
went home, ana within half an hour
the paralytic stroke came upon him.
r. S. Finkbine was one of the best
known men in Des Moines and Iowa.
He was one of the capitol commission,
and to him has been given the credit
of experimenting the greater part of
the construction of the state house.
He was a member of the board of
public works of this city from April
20, 1900, to April 10, 1894, and had al
ways an intense interest in the well
fare of the city.

There is sometimes a wide interval

There is sometimes a wide interval
between the conception of mechani-
cal contrivance and its practical ac-
complishment The flying machine,
fresh experiments with which are con-
stantly reported, is an example of de-
lay in invention. A few years after
the landing of the Pilgrims, DR.. John
wilkins, who afterward married sis
ter of Oliver Cromwell, published a
work in which he said it was possible
ito make a flying chariot, in which
man may sit, and give such motion
unto it as shall convey him through
the air. And this, perhaps, might be
made large enough to carry divers men
at the same time, together with food
for their viaticum, and commodities
for traffic" The suggestion of trade
side to air travel points to the remote
possibility OF fying-machine combi-
nation which will control the "air-
line" Of the future. At present there is
no reason to be alarmed. The business
opportunities Of the region overhead
are still open to all.

LOOKS DARK FOR TARIFF CUT,
Indications Are Congress Will Not Revise
Duties Nor Extend Reciprocity.

Indications Are Congress Will Not Revise
Duties Nor Extend Reciprocity.
Washington, July 9.-President Nc
Kinley said to member of the cabi-
net before leaving the capital for his
summer sojourn at Canton that he did
not feel encouraged to believe that
there would be either direct revi-
sion of the tariff or an extension of
reciprocity agreements during the
agreements during the coming ses-
sion of congress.
During the last few weeks the pres
ident has heard a good deal from his
old friends, the protected interests,
and they have very nearly convinced
him that it will be impossible to in
luce congress to take up the tariff
question in earnest next winter. In
deed, it IS now the belief of num-
Der of members of the cabinet that
the president will carefully avoid TAX
ing the initiative as to any form of
tariff revision, direct or indirect. He
may do so later, but it is not probable
he will not press the matter at the
coming session beyond another effort
to secure ratification of the French
reciprocity treaty and other conven-
tons which are still pending in the
senate. No new treaties are in con-
temptation at the present time.
The prevailing opinion here is that
the opposition of the protected in
terests has proved to be strong
enough to modify whatever plans the
president may have had in mind some
time ago. 1t is well understood that
his speeches, leaning toward a general
policy of lowering tariffs by means
ei reciprocity, delivered during his
recent tour, were intended as ballons
d'essai to test public sentiment.
While there has been good deal of
response in favor of the policy, the
opposition have had most to say and
have produced the most marked inn
preston at the white house.
All the chances are, therefore, that
both revision by special bills on the
Babcock plan and revision by reci-
Procity as suggested by the president
will have to wait another year.

TROOPS ARE ORDERED OUT
Trouble Is Feared at the Reserva-

Ell Reno, o. T., July 9.-Judge Kill
patrick, special alloting agent of
the Kiowa-Comancne Indian reser-
walton, said that Caddo county is full
of "sooners," and that trouble is
likely to occur, notwithstanding the
country is to be opened by lottery
and not by run. Two troops of cav
airy, one each for Fort Reno and
Fort Sill, have been ordered to these
posts and are expected to arrive at
their destination on Wednesday. Lew
Hornbeck of NIinco Newstrel has
small following here who declare
they intend to locate now regardless
of the presidents proclamation nam
ing certain days upon which the land
is to be allotted by drawing. Already
some of Hornbecks followers have
entered the forbidden country.
Generally speaking, the proclama-
ton is satisfactory, but quite num-
Der of homesteaders express dissat-
isfaction over the clause governing
the drawing. They say that endless
confusion must result in selecting
land after homesteaders have secured
lucky numbers.
The proclamation of President Nc
Kinley opening to settlement the
lands coded by the Indians in the ter
ritory of Oklahoma has been given
to the public. The proclamation
covers the cessions made by the
Wichita and affiliated bands of In
dams in accordance with the act of
March 2, 1895, and those made by the
Comanche, Kiowa and Apache tribes
in pursuance of the act of June 6,
1900.
The proclamation provides for the
opening of the lands in those reserva-
tions which are not reserved at 9
O'Clock, a. m, on the 9th of August
next, the lands to be open for set
Element under the homestead and
townsite laws of the United States.
The proclamation says that, be-
ginning on the 10th inst, and ending
on the 2Sth, those who wish to make
entry of land under the homestead
law shall be registered. The regis
tration will take place at the land
Offices at Reno and Lawton. The reg

To obtain registration the applicant
will be required to show himself duly
qualified to make homestead entry of

to give the registering officer such
appropriate matters of description
and identity as will protect the ap-
plicant and the government against
any attempted personation.
Registration cannot be effected
through the use of the mails or the
employment OF an agent, except that
honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors may present their applica-
1lons through an agent, no agent
