LEAGUE CLUBS MEET.
Ohio Republican Clubs Listen to
Address of Their President.

Springfield, o., Feb. 1.-THE League
of Ohio Republican clubs met shortly
before noon. At the election it is
stated that Scott Bonham, of Cincin-
natl, will be chosen president; Robert
Nevins, jr., of Dayton, first vice presl-
dent; Walter c. Hudson, of Toledo, sec
ond vice president, and w. c. Siffer, of
Knox county, treasurer, without oppo-
sition.
President Morrow, in his annual adj
dress said:
backward step. Clouds always have
gathered and always will on the horizon
of great nations, and although human
foresight can not propheSy whether they
will spread or dispense, it is our duty to
be ever watchful and prepared for any
CON plications which may arise or dan
gers which may threaten.
Too well do we remember the par
alyzed condition of business and the
reign of industrial ruin under Demo-
cratic rule, nor can we ever forget the
marvellous change that followed the
election of President Mckinley, d
change that caused financial sunshine
to take the place of financial shadow
and which brought prosperity alike to
the producer and the consumer, Repub-
Hcan and Democrat.
when that change came, confidence
was restored. Trade and commerce
again resumed their places in the bust
notified that the credit of the United
States was not to be destroyed or its
currency made a commodity.
Great questions still confront us,
among which is that concerning the
Philippine islands, but the Republican
party through its representatives can
be depended upon to work out a stable
and successful government for these
possessions.
'Of one thing, all persons at home
and abroad can be assured, and that IS
there will be no running away by this
government from the advantages and
opportunities without nun Der now en-
joyed and to be greater still for COM
ing generations.
That a form of government will be
given the F'ilipinos that is just and hu-
name in its principles and will contem-
plate the largest practical degree of
home rule has been promised by the
Republican platform, and no better as
surances can be given them that this
promise will be kept than to point out
the experiences of the people of other
foreign lands who year after year, by
thousands, enter our gates delighted
with the opportunity to enjoy the priv
ileges and blessings under our flag
which were denied them in their native
land

Detroit, Feb. 12.-Judge Donovan to-
day appointed the Union Trust COM
pany of this city receiver for the wreck
ed City Savings bank
Judge Donovan fixed the bond of the
Union Trust company at $500, 900. The

consideration the name of former Con-
gresham T. A. E. Weedock
Prosecuting Attorney Hunt this morn
ing began suit against the directors of
the City Savings bank on behalf of
Wayne county for $3.50, 900. The county
is one of the heaviest depositors in the
wrecked institution.
Cashier Henry R.Andrews, of the CITY
Savings bank is reported as weaker to-
day His mind wanderS and he has
trouble.
Sydney A. Witherbee today began suit
in the circuit court against F. c. And
reWs, former vice president of the City
Savings bank, whose OVerdraftS and
over certified checks caused the banks
suspension, to compel the return of GER
tain securities, including concession for
railroad in Mexico. Witherbee alleges

BAILEY NOT IN 1T.
Says He Has No Desire to MIX in
Shawnee County Fight.

w. ]. Bailey was in Topeka last even
ing on his way to Wichita to attend the
cattlemen's convention. While here he
talked over the political situation with
Cyrus Leland, Frank L. Brown, Morton
Albaugh and w. Y. Morgan.
Mr.. Bailey stated decidedly that he
will take no part in the Shawnee coun-
ty fight, according Shawnee to Trout
man unless R. B. WEIGH is strong
enough to get the delegation for as
sociate justice.
Il shall certainly take no hand in the
fight here" he said. Il do not care and
have no disposition to oppose Mr.. Trout
man in his home county. The fight in
Shawnee county, as 1 understand it, is
between two home men for the delega-
ton and the man who gets it is entitled
to it's undivided support and the winner
undoubtedly will select delegates who
will conserve his own interests best. I
and my friends will keep out of the
fight here. I know nothing about the
in the contest to help Mr.. WEIGH, but as
1 have stated, do know that 1 will not
figure in it,
For the rest of the First district Mr.
Bailey will make a fight, and he does
not expect personal fight to be made
on him by Congressman Curtis. He
says the First district feud ought to be
stopped some time, and as evidence of
the fact that his friends have quit fight
ing Curtis he points to the fact that
both Doniphan and Nemaha counties
are supporting Curtis for congress-

lockout of the 5000 employees of the Ma
tional, Providence, Manton, Riverside
and Weybosset mills of the American
Woolen company OF Olneyville came to
an end this morning, the situation for
the time being is worse than before the

the Riverside and Weybosset mills were
on strike against the double loom sys-

the entire force of weavers, 2 600 in num-
Der remained out in support of the or

A conference is to be held today be-
tween representatives. of the American
Woolen company and the striking weav

MILLIONS READY.
To Further Cause of Education
in the South.

New York Feb. ia movement to
organize educational work in the Unit
ed States, especially in the south, on
scale larger than has ever been attempt
ed heretofore, has been gaining strength
rapidly in this city within few weeks,
says the Tribune. 1t has attracted the
favor of dozen or more men of great
wealth, among them John D. Rockefel-
Ter and his son, who are said to have
determined to give needed financial
support. Several millions of dollars are
ready to be pledged to the great under
taking and abundant means will be
available as soon as the plans for Or
ganization are completed.
While there have been frequent con-
ferences of late regarding the educa-
tiona1 organization to be formed, it may
be several weeks before the men who
are busy with its plans are ready to APP
ply for charters. So far as there has
been substantial agreement, however,
the plans indicate the formation of a
strong central educational board, which
will direct in a general way the educa-
tiOnal work to be performed in various
states by branch organizations. For
time the efforts of the organiza ton will
be directed to educa tional work in the
south, but later on, when southern ed
vocational systems and facilities have
been brought up to a high standard the
of it's energies to educational work in
northern and western states. The Or
ganization is to be formed on such a
substantial basis that it will be self
perpetuating,' and will be expected to
continue to increase in power and in
f1uence long after the men who gave it
the start are dead.
When the central board has been
formed and the charters are OBJ
tanned it is expected that Wm. Bald
win jr., will be placed at it's head.
MIR. Baldwin has been active in mu-
nicipaI reform work while he has been
president of the Long Island railroad.
He has been devoting much thought and
study to the question of educational
work in the south, and has been
prominent member of the executive
board of the southern educational con-
ference of which Robert c. Ogden is
chairman.
The great educational organization
will be in some measure a result of the
educational conference. For several
to join in the conference over plans for
improving educational facilities in the
south. 1t has been made plan at such
conferences that the south was too poor
to provide for its people, both white and
black, as good schools as were needed.
Several of the men concerned in the
southern educational conference have
been interested in the work done under
the supervision of boards of trustees
controlling the funds for education in
the south provided by the late George
Peabody and the late John Fox Pea
body.

OYER 100 COMPANIES
Sustained Insurance Losses in Pater-
son Fire.

New York, Feb IA preliminary
meeting of insurance company represen-
tatives has been held to arrange settle
ments of the losses in the great Pater-
son fire. Instead of so or so companies
being concerned. it was found that
there are over 100. Edwin Quackenbush,
secretary of the Underwriters associa-
ton of Paterson, after many confer
ences with insurance adjustors, the
owners of burned property and an ex-
animation of insurance maps, said tie
loss to insurance companies would ag-
gregate to about million dollars The
insurance men found that the burned
district was more heavily covered by
insurance than they at first thought
They estimate the total less to be about
million dollars and the insurance a
shade under so per cent of the total
The estimate of million is from 3d.
o0o. GOO to 81. 00O. 600 less than the figures
fixed upon by city officials and leading
business men of Paterson.

sCOTT's AMENDMENT.
Kansas Congressman Takes Part in
Oleomargarine Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE voting on
amendments to the oleomargarine bill
in the house indicated a considerable
change of sentine nt since last congress,
when the bill had 106 majority, and that
the opposition to the measure has
gained strength. While the passage Of
the bill is not endangered it is not likely
that the majority when the final vote
is taken will exceed go The opposition
was strong enough in committee of TIE
whole to adopt two important amend
rnents, one by Mr.. Scott of Kansas pro-
viding that nothing in the act should
be construed to prevent the manufac-
ture and sale of oleomargarine in any
state for consumption entirely within
such state and the other to provide for
the inspection and branding of reno
waited or process butter. The latter
amendment was especially obnoxious to
the friends of the measure and when
the bill was reported to the house a
separate vote was demanded on it
That vote was pending when the house

the first shuttle, will take his place in
the deck as first sergeant, and Ed
Pavey, who now holds the place, will
resume his citizens clothes and con-
tinue to be the terror of the crooked
element who will know not when or
where to look for him. This change
will not be made because Pavey is not
competent to fill the place he now
holds-far from it, for he fits any place
in which he is situated, but because he
will be more effective in his old posi-
ton, and desires to make the change.
There is a difference in the wages, but
that doesn't bother Pavey. He made
more than the sergeants last year in
rewards for criminals and he Gun do it
again, unless the crooks decide to avoid
Topeka and cut it out of their visiting
list. For this reason the force will gain
a good man instead of losing one. Owen
has filled the place before, and has
record for being a first class police
man.
The name of Owen will be placed be-
fore the council next Monday night
with request that he be confirmed.
