Waste Of jam In south Africa

.From the facts which are gradual
" coming to light" writes a corre-
spondent, sit would seem that al
though the waste of jam in South
Africa was not SO large as the lately
reported waste of brass at Woolwich,
it was none the less considerable. Al
lowing that scientific authorities are
right in what they say respecting the
nutritive properties sof jam, the fact
remains that there is nothing which
pals more rapidly on the human
palate. Butter is usually welcome to
most people, and there are many, par
ticularly in England, who will eat
bacon every day of their lives without
f1inching, just as the Portuguese peas
ant eats bacalhao or dry cod. But jam
soon becomes loathsome; even the
child, who is always ready for Sweets
will often turn from it in disgust.

TODAY's MARKET REPORT.

Some parts of the southwest have had no

early trade was good and the crowd es-

rather Indifferent: May wheat started =

Chicago, March 17.-Twentyfo four fam
lilies occupying the st. Catherine flats at
Fortieth street and Grand Boulevard
were driven from the building by fire
early today. A frigid wind was blow
ing and the firemen had to work Wig
orously to confine the flames to st.
GATHERINGS. The tenants had barely
time to escape and shivered in their
night clothes till neighbors were
aroused and gave them shelter. Nearly
all household goods and personal effects
were lost.
Geo. Patton jumped from a third story
window and broke one of his legs. He
waited so long in getting members of
his family out that when he was pre-
pared to follow them he found egress by
the stairway cut off. Martin Scannell
a policeman, proved himself hero.
Three women We're penned in on the
third floor. Scannell had reached them
before the fire blocked the stairway. He
made rope of bed sheets and let the
women down the elevator shaft by
means of it. He then fastened it and
attempted to slide down after them. The
nakeshift rope gave way, however, and
the policeman sustained a broken ankle.
Firemen rescued him. The total loss
was $4,000.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
Two Views of the Russell County
Congressional Delegation.
Beloft, Kas., March II, 100

BeIO1t, kaS., Marcn II, 19UZ.
| To the Editor of the State Journal:
1t would seem that it is about time
| that a fair statement of the situation
| in the Sixth congressional district
| should be made, and especially so in
view of the reports being sent out by
the supporters of Mr.. Reeder. J. Q.
Royce, in recent interviews in the To-
peka Capital and State Journal, claims
| Reeder's nomination by reclamation
and includes Russell in his list. The
convention has been held in Russell
county, and a report to the papers
claimed the convention stood go for
Reeder and II for Wellington" The
facts are the convention refused to in
struct for Reeder by a decided ma jority,
and Mr.. Boyd, Reeder's leader there,
was defeated for chairman of the dele
cation.
AS showing that the Reeder managers
are desperate, and simply whistling to
precinct, in Russell county, eight or ten
of them held the primary before the
hour set, then adjourned and refused to
allow thirty-fye Russian Republicans
to vote, all of whom were in favor of
Mr.. Wellington, and came to attend the
primary
Again, at Natoma, Osborne county
the primary was held March IA, and
wellington delega ties were elected by a
large majority. The Reeder men bolted
the primary and named contesting
delegation in order to prevent yelling
toms friends from organizing the Os-
borne county convention.
If Reeder were as strong as has been
claimed, would his friends resort to such
questionable methods? In Mr.. Royce's
interview, published in the Topeka Cap
ital of the 18th inst, he quotes Senator
Charles BuSchow, of Thomas county, as
authority. Senator BuSchow positively
denies expressing any such views as are
attributed to him in the interview
OF the five counties where conventions
have been held up to date, not one has
instructed for Reeder, and when the
lineup comes at the congressional con-
yention it will be found that both E. w.
Wellington and Hayes B. White are still
in the race. w. Z. PITTS.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
Believing you wish TO give your read
ers as nearly correct idea possible
of the news of the different conventions
being held over the state, and in your
article in the issue of March IA, headed,
mot for Reeder,. referring to Russell
county's convention, you convey to the
public that Russell county is not for
Reeder, I wish to make this statement:
The only issue in the county was
Reeder and anti-Reeder and the dele
gates to the congressional convention
were elected solely on that issue. I, as
chairman of the Russell county con-
gressional delegation, wish to say that
Russell county's congressional delega-
ton is most emphaUcally for Mr.. Reeder
first last and all the time. Mr. yelling
tons friends have attempted to steal
little political thunder from the fact
that the delegation did not want to be
Instructed and ajority thought it
not necessary to instruct as they were
individually pledged for Reeder.
Very respectfully,
B. G. SCRIVEN.

Bound For st. Petersburg as

TRIP BEGAN AT TOXIC
And Has Been Prosecuted as
Rapidly as Possible.
He Bears Secret Information ON
the Far Eastern Situation.

New York, March 17.-Speeding to st.
Petersburg with secret dispatches on
the situation in Manchuria, from the
Russian embassies in Toxic and Wash
1ngton, is Prince Lobanow-Rostowsk
confidential agent of the car. He is
making his journey as short and as
rapid as-steam. endurance and an un-
limited supply of money can make it.
The prince has at his entire disposal the
services of every Russian embassy, con-
sular agency from Toxic to Kronstadt,
for the purpose of Fastening his urgent
message.
The courier of the car left this city
on the steamship LAquitaine for Havre-
Prince Lebanow-Rostow has been a
special attache in the Russian embassy
in the Japanese capital. He left Ma
gaSaki on the Pacific liner Nippon Maru
just before the ratification of the Anglo
japanese treaty for the maintenance
of the integrity of the Chinese empire
was communicated to the powers. The
imperial courier left Washington on the
midnight train. He was preceded by a
telegram from the Russian embassy in
Washington to the Russian consulate in
this city, which instructed the consul
here to assure the princes passage on
the Aquitaine at all costs. The passage
was obtained, and Prince Lobanog-
RostoWsky sailed under the Gallicized
name of Lobanow De Rostow
The mystery and the haste of his transit
began in Toxic. where he had been sent
watch the developments of the alliance
which was then in process of negotiation
and which was designed to check Russia s
move to obtain the permanent occupation
of Manchuria-a province which in ex-
tent, population and future possibilities is
empire in itself.
The Russian embassy in the Japanese
capital knew that the Anglo-Ja panese
treaty was accomplished fact for the
days before the official announcement of
Prinna I,aha M r. n X "
now is Fastening to St Petersburg to
lay before the car and Count Lamsdorff.
the minister of foreign affairs, important
confidential information concerning the
immediate prospects of the alliance.
The Russian foreign office is said to
have had humiliating experiences with ca
BILE MESA ges transmitted in secret codes
which failed to keep their secrets, and so
Prince Labanow-Rostowsky set out to
bear the dispatches himself.
