the United States at Cape Town. who is
on leave of absence in the United States.
called at the Department of State yester-
day morning to pay his respects to the
Secretary of State and the other officers
OF the department. In view Of the recent
published statements that Mr.. Stoves
sympathies and expressions had been in
favor of the English and opposed to the
Beers in the present conflict in South Af-
rica, he was asked whether he had any
statement to make for publication. He
said that the statements generally attrib-
uted to him were false and that he had
studiously refrained from discussing the
question of the war, either fayorably or
unfavorably.

CHINESE ACTIVE.
Army Of 5000 Drilling Con-
tinuousIy at Sianfu.

Pekin, Jan. "a Chinaman from
Sianfu where the court is at present,
says that within the city $1,000 Chinese
troops are drilling continuously and the
majority OF them are armed with mod
ern rifles. He says that the feeling of
the people there is bitterly antI-foreign
and that they believe that they can
meet the allies in the open fight and de-
feat them.
The ministers are considerably aston
ished over the Chinese grant to Russia
of a concession north Of the Pei Ho at
Tien TSin as compared with the Brit
ish and French concessions combined.
The grant, according tC the Russians,
was made voluntarily for services in en-
ministers think that the concession con-
stitutes good pay when considered in
addition to the annexa ton of all Man
churia-
Ii Hung Chang believes that he will
receive a favorable reply regarding the
signing of the agreement tomorrow.
Senior CorOgan, the Spanish minister,
thinks that the negotiations will COM
rnence at Pekin, possibly ending in Eu-
rope. M. de Giers thinks that negotia-
tions will end at The Hague.
SENSATION AT VIENNA.
New York Jan. 10.-A Herald dispatch
from Vienna says: The announcement
that the United States has proposed the
appointment of an international COM
mission for the settlement of the in
demnity question and for revision of the
commercial treaties with China has
caused a great sensation here.
Your correspondent sought the views
of the Austrian foreign office. The
opinion there is ttsRt9 the proposal of
the United States has little chance Of
obtaining the approval of the powers.
The reasons given for this attitude are,
however. far from convincing
1t is generally pointed out that it ap-
pears inadvisable to withdraw any part
of the matter from the negotiations now
being carried on in Pekin. The confer
ence of ministers represents the most eff
fective and influential instrument sup
ported as it is by armed occupation of
the province of Pc Chi Ii. In addition
to this the powers are unanimous in
their demands on China
A further reason given for the con-
tinuation of the Pekin negotiations is
that the exile of the empress and the
emperor, offers a good means Of bring
ing pressure to bear on China The
ruler of the Celestial empire will not be
able to put up for long with this I'M
tenable state of affairs and will carry
out the demands of the powers.

THE MAYORALITY.
TOpeka's Next Executive Now
Being Considered.
Several Candidates Already An
nounce Themselves.
WARNER SUGGESTED.
A Man Thoroughly Trustworthy
and to Be Trusted.
Who Unites Character, Exper-
fence and Ability.

The gentleman who is henatural can
didate, and who would unquestionably
make a frst-class all round mayor Of
the city of Topeka, is Councilman J. s.
Warner. He was prominently consider
ed for this place two years ago, but
would not run against his friend and
co-worker in the city's affairs for so
many years, Chas. J. Drew, the present
mayor He gave Mr.. Drew his loyal
support Mr.. Warner is one of the most
successful business men Of Topeka, has
long been identified with the CONNER
cial club, and everything looking to the
moral and material advancement and
welfare of the city. He has served in
the council for several terms and has
a clean, honorable record.
He has always aligned himself with
the interests which have been at work
in making Topeka one of the incest.
cleanest, most prosperous and most de-
sirable cities in the country.
There is danger just now of a fac
tionaI fight which might result in a
very unsatisfactory administration. The
committee of two hundred which has
undertaken a paramount mission to
maintain Mr.. Stahl as marshal Of the
city. is already undecided as to its
course and divided as to it's opinions.
Mr.. Warner, along with the majority
of the council, has been opposed to Mr..
Stahl as marshal on the ground that he
is not a competent or proper man for
the place In this respect Mr.. Warner
has many Of the very best. unprejudiced
people of Topeka on his side.
The unsuccessful efforts of Mr.. Stahl
up to this time, the effrontery of tie
criminal element just now, tend to justi-
fly Mr. Warmers position.

character, his success IL business. ais

idenced when the names Of the chair-
men Of the senatorial committees were
given out about month ago and were
published. OF course Mr.. Richter de-
MED that the names as published were
correct or that he had decided upon any
of the chairmen. but the list which VIII
be given out by him win show that on
ly a few changes have been made in it,
This story revives the old story of the
dislike of Governor Stanley for Lieuten-
ant Governor Richter 1t is said that
Stanley refused to make the race for
senator because he feared that he migi
be elected and that Richter would then
take his place as governor Tt Is quoted
from Mr.. Stanley that he would not re-
sign upon any condition because 1
Richter would then take the governor
chair.
Personally there is a strong feeling OF
dislike between the governor and tho
lieutenant governor. but officially the
work together. The determination %
Mr. Richter to make the race Tor gov
ernor in 1903 may bring out an interest
ing fight and it may not. but the poll
ticians all say that there is the start
for a beautiful fight in the reported am
nOuncement

DRINK MORE BEER.
Per Capita Consumption in Germany
Grows From 123 to 131 Quarts

Washington, Jan. 10.-The year book
of the German maritime union for lSOA
quoted by Consul Hossfeid at Trieste in
a report to the state department regards
the consumption of coal and iron as the
most reliable measure of industrial ac-
tivity in Germany The consumption OF
coal rose from 4,747 pounds per capita
in 1886 to 5.185 pounds in 1898 and of iron
from 271 pounds per capita in 1896 to 300
pounds in 1898 The revenue derived by
the Kingdom of Prussia in 1898 from the
produce of it's forests amounted to $l9.-
27S, 900, an increase of nearly $3,000000 as
compared with 1896. The growing con-
sumption of meat, sugar and beer is al
so mentioned as an additional sign Of
economic prosperity Consul Hossfel5
says that while the average person in
Germany contented himself with 123
quarts Of beer in 1896. he increased his
allowance to 131 quarts in 1898 The freer
use of animal food is shown by tn 2
larger revenue derived from the meat
tax, the increase being estimated at fui-
" 15 per cent in the space of two years
