Kansas Penitentiary Pays.

The annual report of the Kansas
penitentiary for the fiscal year ended
July 1, 1901, makes fine showing for
the management. The total earnings
amounted to 06,5O4.31, and the to-
tai expenses to $165, ,447.63, leaving the
earnings $41,05S.69 in excess of the
expenses. The earnings exceeded the
expenses every month in the year ex-
cept four.
The twine plant account is not in
cluded in the above estimate of earn
ings and expenses. So far it has been
operated independently of the other
penitentiary industries. The twine
plant has been installed two years.
The first year the prison officials un-
dertook to sell twine exclusively to
farmers direct for cash, and they were
left with a large stock on hand. Dur
ing the present summer Warden jew
ett sold twine to all who wanted it.
He brought down trust prices, and not
only sold out big stock, but made a
small profit for the state. The finan-
that the state expended $4,000 for
machinery for the plant. This was by
a separate appropriation. In addition
$15o,ooo as revolving fund and $4,000
as a contingent fund was appropriated
to keep the plant in operation. The
operating of the plant so far as shown
by the condition of the revolving fund
makes profit of S4,563 for the state.
This profit is small, but it is said to
be much better than the Minnesota
twine plant did the first two years.

Lightning XIII. Live stock.

In northwest Kansas farmers have
lost much stock by being struck by
lightning. The cattle drift up against
the wire fence, and when the light
ming strikes and follows along the
fence it usually kills number. In q
recent thunderstorm John Guenther,
living six miles from Oberlin, lost Is
head of cattle by one stroke of light
ming. Other farmers in that vicinity
have lost from one to five or six head.

Rescuers Crawled ON Hands nnd
Knees to Reach Decomposing
Bodies of Their Friends.
Connellsville. Pa, Sept 1.-THE
long continued efforts of the daring
rescue party at Port Royal were
crowned with success to-day. Seven of
the thirteen bodies that have been en-
tombed since June 10, when the explo-
sion in the coal mine of the Pittsburg
Coal Company took place, were recov-
cred and brought to the bottom OF
No. shaft. There is little doubt but
that the remaining six bodies will be
recovered tomorrow.
The party proceeded down No. 30 en-
try, which they found free from gas
except in one place, where pocket
had collected near the arched roof.
Here the brave men crawled on their
hands and knees. Where the tracks
curve from No. 20 entry to No. face
the first of the bodies Were sighted.
The death chamber was at last opened
and the secret kept closed for three
months brought to light.
The spectacle was a most gruesome
one.lr Side by side were the first two
bodies. The white fungi of mines, daz-
zling in it's brilliancy, which covers any
object that gives out moisture, covered
the exposed portions of the dead. Their
hands. swollen by decomposition, were
coated to a depth of two inches with
this fungi. and they seemed three times
their antural size.
The rescue party proceeded about
fifty feet further. when another body
was found. This was near a partly
finished brattice. In one hand a hatch
ct was grasped. while in the other was
a rusty saw. The miner had evidently
been surprised at his work by the sec
ond explosion.
More than a hundred feet beyond
this man the four others were found
in a group. They. had evidently fallen
at the same time. for their bodies. were
quite. close together In the hand Of
each was a safetyNlamp. Some fay on
their faces and sonae on their sides.
AT the end of the room the gas was
encounteredsa the men returned. Not
one of the bod. - could be recognized
by. the face or form. Decomposition
had destroyed all the features. The
only hope is in the clothes and con-
tents of the pockets.

TO KILL CHAMB ERLAIN.
Man Accused of Murder Reveals an
Alleged Plot.

Alleged Plot.
London. Sept. 11.-Marshal Faugeron.
a Frenchman, who was charged to-
day at ,Clerkenwell Police Court with
the murder of Herman Jung, an old
jeweler of Clerkenwell. about ten days
ago. told remarkable story of plot
to kill Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial
secretary.
Faugeron said he had been the recip-
lent Of small loans from Jung. The
day of the murder Jung summoned him
to his shop, where they discussed the
misery caused by the South African
war. for which. Jung declared. Mr..
Chamberlain was responsible. and Jung
told Faugeron that If he could kill Mr..
Chamberlain, he, Jung, through inter-
mediaries, would guarantee him for
tune, rendering him G10 to buy good
clothes in order to enable him to ap-
proach his victim.
Faugeron says he refused, where
upon Jung declared he should not
leave the shop alive and picking up a
heavy iron, rushed on Faugeron and
felled him to the ground. Faugeron.

THE BEST NEWS GIVEN YET.

Physicians Leave the House In Con-
fdence md Cheer.
Buffalo, Sept. 1.-THE night consul
tation of the physicians furnished In
some respects the most reassuring
news which has yet come from the sick
room. A microscopic count of the
blood had been made during the day
by DR.. Wasdin. At the evening con-
ference the result was submitted and
found to. be perfectly satisfactory.
There had been no abnormal increase
of white corpuscles, such as would
have existed had blood poisoning set in
and the doctors had the satisfaction OF
announcing officially that the count of
the blood corroborated the clinical evil
dence of the absence of any. blood pois-
oning.
The President was bathed and given
. nourishment while all the doctors were
present and afterwards was placed in
his new bed.
The members of the cabinet were
all below stairs while the consultation
was in progress and remained until
after the bulletin was prepared and Is
sued. They were so elated over the inn
provement in the Presidnt's condition
and the absence of any unfavorable
symptoms that Secretary Root an
nounced that he felt free to depart and
that he had decided to go to New York
tomorrow.
The physicians did not begin to leave
the Milburn residence until shortly be-
fore II o'clock The reports which
they had to communicate could hardly
have been more gratifying than they
were. DR.. Wasdin and DR.. Mynter
came out together. The latter was
hemmed in on all sides by the eager
newspaper men.

thing for publication in advance OF
the meeting of the court as to his own
intentions, or the probable line of ac-
ton of the court. 1t was evident, how
ever, that he has not in any degree al
tered his resolution to serve as a MEM
ber of the court if the other members
accept his own view as to his qualifica-
tions. He adheres to the views set
down in his letter to Acting Secretary
Hackett that it is the duty of naval
officer to accept without question call
for service upon a court of inquiry or
courtmartial, and, although such duties
were not the sort promising pleasant
occupation, they were not to be evaded
by any act of the person whose services
is required. Therefore Rear Admiral
Howison will by no act of his seek
to escape duty on the court and II he
does not serve it will be because Ad-
miral Dewey and Rear Admiral Ben
ham decide he is disqualified to act as
an impartial judge.
Everything Is Ready.
Everything is ready for the meeting
of the court The impression at the
Navy Department now is that the TAX
ing of testimony will not begin to-mor-
row, although that was the original ex-
pectation: A large number of witnesses
are in Washington ready to take the
stand at a moments notice, but for
malities are expected to consume most
of to-morrow's session, which, after all,
is likely to be short. owing to the late
bour of beginning. No summons has
vet been issued for Admiral Sampson
and. it is said, very few formal sum-
mons have been issued by the depart
ment.
Although no positive statement on
that point is made it is gathered from
the attitude of the government OH
GERS that they have no present inten-
ton of calling Admiral Sampson.
While observing all the forms that
are necessary to maintain the dignity
of the court, there is no disposition on
the part Of its members to try to
magnify it's Importance by useless
ceremony. There will be no waste of
gunpowder in, salutes. nor will the
marines be turned out in state at the
navy yard as the three admirals make
their way to and from the building
where the court will meet. To-mor-
row they will go to the navy yard
in plain clothing and thus
relieve the commandant of the. neces-
sity Of ordering an official salute. They
will 20 10 the hall shortly after noon
