PLANS TO ESTABLISH
CUBAN INDEPENDENCE

Washington, Feb. 1O.-It is now ap-
parent to the officers of the admins
tration that it will be scarcely practical
for the United States to withdraw
wholly from the government of Cuba,
under the most favorable circum-
stances. before next fall, at the ear
Hest. This is conceding the possibility
that the Cuban convention may adopt
n constitution entirely acceptable to
this government on or before the first
of April next.
1t is recognized on all sides that it
will require several months after the
adoption of the constitution to COM
plete the organization of the Cuban
government and have it in successful
operation. All the national officers
must be chosen, laws enacted for the
collection of the revenues and the es-
tablishment of a stable government n
police force or constabulary organized
to take the place of the United
States military force for the preserva-
ton of peace and the maintenance of
order. and the municipal governments
must be organized.
In this country at least three months
notice is given of general election,
and it is urged that, owing to the con-
ditions in Cuba, where all the prelim-
mary election machinery mas yet to be
prepared, 1t will take more time to pre-
pare for the election of the president
and other national officers, after which
the administrative officers must be APP
pointed and the necessary laws enact
ed before the structure of government
can be properly established.
At any rate, such is the view of the
officers of the administration. as stated
by a prominent member of the Cabinet
who is thoroughly familiar with the
situation. This gentleman said also
that when the Cuban government is in
successful operation the United States
troops will be withdrawn from the isl
and. Such withdrawal, he said, would
be made when the Cuban government
requested it and it was clearly appnr-
ent that the government was fully ca
Dable of maintaining peace and good
order

BIG MASS MEETING AT TOPEKA
SAYS ALL SALOONS MUST GO

for years you have scorned all appeals
and warnings that have been presented
TO you by the virtue-loving portion of
the community.
Now we feel that the time has come
when we must speak to you peremp-
torily. We cease now to endeavor to
persuade. We command. You must
stop this lawless and iniquitous bust
ness and stop it at once.
And we hereby notify you that we
must have UNREASONABLE evidence,
absolutely satisfactory to the commit
tee of public order, which we to-day
constitute, that all your Illicit goods,
together with all the associated fix
lures and furnishings of the places
where your unlawful business has been
carried on, shall have been removed
and shipped from the city before IL
o'clock noon, Friday, February 10,
1901.
Upon the strict and literal observ-
ance of this command we shall insist:
and If it shall be disregarded, we will
take whatever measures are necessary
for its rigid enforcement.
IF long-outraged public shall be
compelled to resort to the fundamental
right of standardization against GRIM
inals and their abettors, the grave
consequence to evil-doers which may
result from such return must rest
with the defiers and nullifiers of our
laws, and the Instructors of our gov
ernmental machinery. The jointists,
the men who rent property to jointists,
and the men who have violated their
oaths in tolerating crime-these are
the disturbers of the peace, and not
the affronted and wronged public,
which, as sovereign, has both the
right and the duty to see that its will
and Judgment shall be respected"
There We're n number of addresses in
which Mrs. Nation came in for her full
share of credit.

Senate Bill No. 22S, by Senator Sci
domridge providing for constitution
al amendment to take care of the in
debtedness of the state. gives a state
ment of the debt already accrued.
The first part of the proposed amend
ment is to provide against the piling uT
of another such debt as that which
now faces the state, and the second
part provides for the payment of tht
entire debt which now exists.
1t is set forth in section l that the
state shall not contract any debt except
for the purpose of erecting public
buildings for the use of the state, t.
suppress insurrection, defend the state
or, in time of war. TO assist the nation
al government. The present constitu
ton is construed by many to provide
for the same thing. but instead of par
ticularly setting forth that money:
shall be expended for the state by the
governor only in times of war and in
surrection, it adds eases of emer
cepcy," which has been construed by
governors to cover all manner of eN
penses and deficiencies. The express
language of Senator Seldomridge'i
amendment will leave no doubt abou
this matter.
The bill further proposes that the
debt in any one year for public build
ings shall not exceed one. half mill OF
each dollar of valuation of taxable
property within the slant. 1t is further
proposed that it shall not be Lawful
for the General Assembly to appropri
ate money except for instructions and
war, in excess of the revenue for the
preceding two years. At present ap
preparations are made on anticipated
revenue.
Then it proposes this disposal of the
present Indebtedness by an issue OF
four per cent. bonds to be sold at moi
less than par value:
Warrants now held in the public
school fund of the state to the
on Which warrants there viii be '''''''''

HAVING DENOUNCED
BY THE COMMITTEE

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE report of
the special congressional committee
which investigated the hazing of Cadet
Booz, which was the general subject of
investigation at West Point, was sub
Representative Dick, together with II
bill making stringent regulations
against hazing, fighting and all brutal
practices.
The report is an exhaustive review
of the practice of hazing in all its
forms, and while moderate in tone is
nevertheless n stringent arrangement
of the many alleged brutal practices
enumerated. 1t specifies more than
100 distinct methods of annoying and
harassing fourth class men and de-
scribes them in detail. The report
states that a system of fighting has
grown up which is shocking in Its
character. The fights are described
and the committee states that the
West Point code is more vicious than
the Queensbury code.
The committee held that fighting is
the worst form of hazing. The report
says that such fighting as that at West
Point is felony according to the stat
utes in many of the states, and the time
has come when Congress must decide
whether fights. which are crimes else
where, shall continue Mt West Point.
The committee finds that Cadets
Macarthur. Breth and Burton were
hazed into commissions, others were
hazed until they tainted. while Others
were hazed until they We're sick.

The Missouri Dairy Association
heard some interesting testimony
about the influence of music on kick
ing cows. One man had an animal SO
vicious that she always had to be tied
into the stall at milking time. His
two boys noticed that whenever they
began to sing at their work, the COW
became quiet. Now, instead Of tying
her, whoever is milking merely strikes
up Annie Rooney" or My Old Ken
lucky Home,' and the COW stands per-
feetly still Another delegate said
that in Switzerland farm workers who
have good voices get better pay be
cause they can milk the widest and
most restless COWS. The sense of the
meeting" however, was expressed by
a farmer, who said: ut may be all
right to sing to a kicking COW, but
want to keep my eye on her feet. She
might take a notion to dance to ths
