THE ADDlcks
President Has No Notion Of Taking
. Hand in the Mix-Up.

Washington. Dec. 5.-The Addicks
situation in Delaware has not chang
ed since the election. The president
does not want to recognize either fac
ton, and has not done SO, notwith-
standing the recent appointment OF
William M. Byrne. That appointment,
according to the presidents own
statement, which ought to be taken
as offsetting the numerous rumors
that are circulating so freely, was
made because Bryne has long been a
cause he happens to be connected
with the Addicks faction. After the
appointment had been made, Addicks
came out in a glowing statement to
the effect that the appointment was a
substantial recognition of the claims
of the Addicks men. This statement
the president felt called upon to deny,
as already said. At the late election
in Delaware the Addicksites polled
very many more FOlSS Ill
than the other faction, and some of
the republican leaders here were &C.
cordingly in favor of the recognition
of that faction; but the president re-
fused. and there the matter rests.
Meanwhile, the republican leaders are
becoming very tired of the Delaware
fuss and want the two places in the
senate from that state filled. Repre-
sentative Ball, for several years, or
during the mix-up, has been %dispens-
ing federal patronage in Delaware,
but he will retire from congress next
March 4, and what will then be done
nobody yet knows.

a Base and Hold It.
Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad,
Dec. 5.-The United States consul has
been authoritatively informed through
agents of the departure of the ZEN
emy's" squadron. It's destination is
uncertain, but it is believed to be
Porto Rico or Culebra. The ships
passed through Boca Grande, going
slowly. There is no satisfactory indi-
cation as to the course the squadron
will pursue. All the warships had a
low freeboard, which is evidence that
they are filled with coal and ammuni-
ton. A collier carrying $500 tons of
coal discharged it's entire cargo into
the various vessels, which also re-
ceived provisions and ammunition
from a supply ship. The enemy" is
prepared to make a dash to seize a
base and hold it. Confidence as to
the final success of the movement pre-
vailed on board the 'enemy's" ships.

TONS OF 1T COMING.
Pittsburg Steamship Company Will
Deliver Coal at Head of Lake.

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 5.-The Pitts
burg Steamship company, belonging
to the United States Steel corporation,
has just closed a contract to bring to
the head of Lake Superior this fall
1000 900 tons of coal, mostly anthra-
cite, the freight rate being 81 a ton.
Coal has been carried up all the
year at 80 cents a ton, but the west
ern shortage and the urgency of east
ern shippers led to this price. All
the 20 to 25 ships that bring this coal
will remain here for the winter.
All this coal will be delivered in
the next Is days, so that navigation
will not close before December 10,
whatever the weather may be.

COMPELLED TO SURRENDER
Rebe! Indian Leader Made to Give Up
His Arms.

Panama, Dec. 5.-Governor Salazar
returned here today from his trip to
the interior. He reports that the

probably be severely punished. 1t was

uary 4:
Section L. Section Pip of the munic-
ipal code of st. Louis is hereby amend

issued pursuant to this article, shall
sell or deal in any railway, railroad or
as have been issued by some existing

PUT ON MORE MEN.
Work on Foundation of Santa Fe
Shop Being Pushed.

Moseley's gang which is putting in
the foundation for the new machine
shop, was much larger New Years day
than it has been any time since the
holidays. Before Christmas a number
of the men took their time, and it was
impossible to hire them again until the
opening of the month. Wednesday the
gang was sufficiently large that if the
weather holds fair for ten days or two
weeks there will be little left for them
to do on the structure. There has been
a delay in the arrival of the lola Port
land cement, but this is looked for soon.
The next building of the new shop
plant will probably be the wheel shop,
which is to be located east of the sheds.
The power house viii also be in the
vacant space south On the new black
smith shop. To the south of the m a
chine shop and probably facing on the
Branner street will be the office of the
division master mechanic. 1t now seems
possible that a part of the present shop
buildings will be used as a foundry.
At present this class of work is done
by John Seaton of Atchison, and if the
Santa Fe does its own work here it
will mean an addition of from hum
.dred to a hundred and fifty families
to Topeka's population. 1t is calculated
that when the new shop plant goes into
full operation there will be employment
for third more men than at present.
Then from 40 to so new locomotives
a year will be the product of the me-
chanical department. Men competent
to judge say that the Santa Fe will then
have at Topeka one of the finest rail-
road shops in the United States.

A $1,000, 900 GIFT
Of Wealthy FrenchInan to Chi
cagO University.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-One million dollars is
the sum offered by Robert Lebaudy, a
French multimillionaire, for the estab
hshment of a French Industrial school
in connection with the University of
Chicago. The tender was made to Pres
ident Harper through NJ. Lebaudy's
agent, Emile Ridel, of the French army.
DR.. Harper promptly replied it was the
very thing the university desired and
the preliminarieS were settled at once.
The new school is to be an integral
part of the United University of Chi
cago and the necessary buildings for
which NJ. Lebaudy will furnish the
money will be located on the campus
of that Institution. NJ. Lebaudy does
not expect to end his interest in and
support of the proposed school with the
gift of 81 900 600. He will also establish
an endowment fund.
The institution takes on still greater
Importance from the fact that it will
be actually fostered by the French gov
eminent. The students will consist of
500 graduates of French colleges to be
selected by the government and 200 will
be sent over each year. They will coma
on scholarships, all expenses of trans
portation and living being betrayed by
France.
At the conclusion of his conference
with DR.. Harper, Mr.. Ridel left for
Washington to consult Ambassador
Cambon.

Rock Island Will Route Western
Business Through st. Joe.
To Build Costly Bridge Across
the Big Muddy.
CUTS OUT KANSAS CITY
Road Desires to Escape Payment
of Heavy Bridge Tolls.
Will Not Affect the Business of
Topeka.

Plans and specifications for the Mis-
souri, river bridge the Rock Island rail-
way is endeavoring to secure congress
sional consent to build are in Washing
ton.
The Rock Island contemplates the
routing of most of it's Kansas, Okla
homa, Indian Territory and western
business through st. Joseph, and will
need the additional facilities to be pro-
vided by the construction of the new
bridge.
The plans call for the construction of
one of the finest railway bridges that
cross the Missouri river, with a double
track railway, and built in accordance
with the latest approved methods of
engineering. Mr.. Cochran will urge be-
fore the committee the necessity of the
bridge. He will present data to show
that the present bridge, owned by the
st. JoSeph-Grand Island railway, ond
used jointly by the road and the Rock
Island is not of sufficient capacity to
accommodate the business of the two
roads.
The construction of the St Joseph
drawbridge over the Missouri will give
the Rock Island its own tracks across
the Missouri and will thereby allow the
company to escape the heavy tolls ex-
acted for those privileges at Kansas
City. The Rock Island leases the tracks
of the Hannibal line from Cameron
junction into Kansas City, and by
routing all through freight business by
way of St. Joseph it will be able, after
securing the new bridge, to escape the
taxation at Kansas City as we'll as the
congestion there, and at the same time
save trackage by using owned instead
of leased lines
AT times it is impossible to get
freight through Kansas City without
long delays,'s said a local Rock Island
official today. I'VE have our lines to
St Joseph and out of ST Joseph on both
sides, and by owning the bridge there
would be able to ship more stuff by that
route
The plans of the Rock Island to route
the through freight business via St.
Joseph will not affect Topeka The same
amount of traffic will pass through here
as when the Kansas City line was used,
but no more.
The opening of the southwest and
new southern lines is creating an I'M
mense new freight business For this
reason the Rock Island is early laying
plans to escape tolls and trackage leases
that prove so large a drain

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Gertrude Coghlan is the most win
some actress who has been seen in To-
peka this winter-at least that is the
verdict of many who saw her yesterday
as Becky Sharp in the matinee snd
night presentations of William Make
peace Thackeray'S Vanity FAIR" And
Miss Coghlan adds to her beauty a con-
siderable grace of acting. Grace is
the word needed to describe Miss Coga-
lan's acting. She excells in pretty poses
and sweet smiles In the emotional
parts of the play she seems unable
to forget that her dainty couture will
Inuss or her dazzling display of diamond
brooches become deranged. She Is the.
same sweet, composed, fair-complex-
Toned beauty under the most narrowing
circumstances
But after all, Miss Coghlan is the
brightest spot in a rather heavy drama
tization of Thackeray'S masterpiece
Compared with the supporting company,
Miss Coghlan was indeed ne plus ultra.
If it had not been for Miss Coghlan'S
smile, the play would have moved With
the splendid monOtony of g. funeral pro-
cession. Edwin Locke, as Joseph Sed-
ley'' has a very good laugh too but it
was considerably on the equine order.
Mr.. Locke plays his part with more
spirit than any OF the others. Amelia
Sedley,'' played by Muriel Walling, is
tiresome.
Miss Coghlan's gowns and diamonds
are most fetching" as the fashion
papers say. And the diamonds have a
very real glitter, too, for stage dia
monds. Indeed, the costuming of all the
actors and actresses was at once elab-
crate and in keeping with the prevail
ing fashions of Europe in the early part
of the century. The staging, too, was
good, large amount of special scenery
being used. The ball room scene in the
third act was especially brilliant
1t must not be forgotten that Mrs.
Fiske played Becky Sharp" in Topeka
last season, and of course a comparison
would be out of the question.
The play drew two large audiences
