Smith GETS OFF LIGHTLY.
General Who Issued the "KIm and Burno
Order Has Been "Admonished" by
the President.

Washington, July 17.-Secretary
Root brought from Oyster Bay the
case of Gen. Jacob II. Smith, tried by
court-martial at Manila, on account
of orders issued by Maj. Waller. Gen.
Smith was found guilty of the
charges by the court and sentenced to
be admonished by the reviewing au-
thority. The president has so adj
monished Gen. Smith and retired him
under the law which provides that
officers reaching the age of 90 years
may be retired at will by the presi-
dent.
Secretary Root supplements the
reptimand of President Roosevelt id
long circular il which he explains
the conditions which resulted, in the
court-martiaI of Gen. Smith and
shows that, although Smith issued
the kill and burn" order, as a
matter of fact very few per-
sons were killed as result of that
order, the casualties being confined
almost wholly to the II natives killed
under Maj. Walters direction. The
findings of the court and the reviews
by the president and Secretary Root
were made public.

AMERICANS PUZZLE THEM.
Lower freight Rates Than England Can
Offer VIII sectfs large Orders from
the Transvaa1:

johannesburg, Transvaal,, July t6.
AT a meeting of the chamber of
commerce Tuesday, called to meet
the British trade commissioners, a
member read a cable dispatch which
he had received offering freight from
New York to Natal at ten shillings
per ton. Other members of the
chamber said that they had received
similar offers. This freight is not
remunerative but is the outcome of
competition. It is 21s Sd below the
lowest freight rate from England.
The merchants do not see how the
Americans are able to offer such
low rates. Nevertheless, they are
overhauling their stock to see what
they can order in the United States.
A majority of the members of the
executive committee of mines are ad-
vocating a coast duty of IS to rs Cd
per case of dynamite in order to pro-
tect the local factory. The proposal
is strongly opposed as tending to
create d worse monopoly than ex-
listed during the Kruger regime and
to establish a precedent in the di-
rection of protection.

was tried for killing a number of
Filipino prisoners, has opened the
entire question up again. The pa
pers are now in the hands of the

pected. The record shows that Maj.
Waller was acquitted of the charge
of murder, but that Gen. Chaffee, de-
cldrihg that ''there has been a mis-
carriage of justice in the case" dis
approves the finding and the acquit-
tai, with the exception that, while
Waller should not have been found
guilty of murder, the court should
have included a lesser offense.

The Best Kansas News.
That AIcPhersOn Case.

One of the most mysterious trag-
edies ever known in Kansas was the
shooting of Miss Maude Holmes at
the home of her father, near Galva,
IN Mcpherson county, the other
night. Miss Maude is modest and
popular, and her parents are among
the best respected of the county's
population. She went to her room
for the purpose of retiring. She was
standing at mirror arranging her
hair, when some one fired charge
of shot through the window, wound
ing her dangerously about the head,
face and shoulders. For several
months she has been receiving let
tiers, all written in the same hand,
but signed by different names, from
a dozen different post offices. The
letters were ardent in expressing love
for the young lady, but there was
nothing about them which would
make the sender liable for a misuse
of the mails or which was threaten
ing in its character. A sensation
was created in the neighborhood
when DR.. Ryno, wealthy neighbor
of the Holmes, was arrested for the
crime. DIR. Ryno is married and has
lived near Galva for 25 years. It is
claimed that the handwriting of the
strange letters sent to Miss Holmes
is like DR.. Ryno's.

1t Is All Contracted For.

There is an uninvested balance in
the state permanent school fund of
nearly 100000, but bonds have al
ready been contracted for by the
state school fund commissioners to
cover the entire amount. The great
er part of the bonds contracted for
are refunding bonds to take up rail
road aid securities. During the boom
days practically every county in the
state f1oated railroad aid bonds at
high rates of interest. These are
now coming due and they are being
refunded at lower rates of interest,
thus effecting a saving to the peo-
pie. In addition, quite number of
schoolhouses are being built and
bonds must be issued to pay for their

Cannot Go behind returns.

In district court at Lawrence Judge
C. A. Smart denied the application OF
]. Z. Brady for writ of manda1unS
to compel the county contest board
to recount the ballots cast at the
republican primary convention on
June 6. Judge G. ]. Barker had been
declared the republican nominee for
representative from the Thirteenth
district but it was afterward learned
that a mistake had been made in
casting up the totals in one precinct
which, if corrected, would give Brady
the nomination. Mr.. Brady then
brought his mandamus action so
compel the board to go back of the
convention and count the votes cast
at the primary. 1t was this the
judge refused to order, holding that
when the contest board had rendered
its decision it has no further powers
in the case; that the decision of the
board was final; that even if the
board could go behind the conven-
ton the ballots alleged to have been
cast had no integrity and value as
evidence, having been in no ones es-
