ORDERED HER OUT.
Mayor Parker and Mrs. Nation
Clash at Last.

Mayor Parker ordered Mrs. Nation
out of his Office this afternoon, and
she refused to go. So the mayor did
the next best thing. He went out him.

mo, siri" shrieked Mrs. Nation when
the mayor ordered her to stop her talk
ing and get out of his office. mo, sir,

a right to come here! have a right as
a citizen of this town to come here and

"All right, go on and talk! Talk all
night if you want tor sung out the
mayor, as he lodged into his little
private office and shut the door in the
face of the enraged woman.
Mrs. Nation continued to talk at the
mayor through the closed door, but
this did not seem to produce much eff
feet, so she retired from the field with
colors flying.
1t is needless to state that the treaty
of peace which was patched up be-
tween Mrs. Nation and the mayor some
ton told the mayor some things today
and gave him the worst tongue-lashing
that a sharp tongued woman like her
self could inflict.
you are a disgrace to Topeka" she
declared. 81 know, for 1 have been
around to see. You permit every form
of vice to flourish in this city Young
men are being robbed of their man
hood and you are getting money to per-
NIT vice to exist unreStrained. Why
don't you close up these places? All
those that you had pulled are running
again. Why do you pretend to be
mayor if you don't intend to enforce the
laws? Why don't you abdicate, and
say, Appoint somebody else, 1 can't

All this was delivered in a loud wild
voice. perforated with huge exclanla-
ton points and sawed off with sweep
ing gestures. Mrs. Nations face was
red, her eyes were flashing, and her
two rows of teeth were visible clear
back to the sub-cel1ar of her vocal
estuary.
Mayor Parker tried several times to
mildly intimate that Mrs. Nation was
excited, and that he did not care to
listen to her, but she drowned him out
with as much ease as Niagara would
drown out a fizzling firecracker. At
last he exclaimed in desperation:
''Well, you'd better stop now! Quit
your talking and get out of this office

Washington, Feb. 19-Soon after the

At the conclusion of routine business
Mr.. Burrows (Mich.) addressed the SEN
ate upon the Philippine tariff bill. He
said it was not his purpose to discuss
fully the Philippine question but to
show simply how the United States was
in the Philippines and why it should re-
main in the islands. He said that con-
gress now was dealing with questions as
they were found today and not as they
had been in the past or might be in the
future. He felt that the nation was
confronted by condition and not by a
theory.

cussion of the events which led up to the
war with Spain. The war, he said, was
in response to the popular demand in
the United States and no people were
more clamOrOuS for a war than those
who now constituted the minority.
Mr.. Burrows reviewed the beginning
of the war in the Philippines and said
the United States occupation of the is
lands was with a due regard to the
governments international obligations.
He said the F'ilipinos deserved a good
government, but did not deserve in
dependence, because an Independent
government was not practicable.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, Feb. 19.-When the con-
sideration of the Indian appropriation
bill was resumed in the house today Mr.
Little (Ark.), the. ranking minority
member of the Indian committee ad-
dressed himself to the conditions in the
Indian Territory. The anomalous sit
uation there where 397, 900 white men
had no voice in the government he
said, demanded action by congress. He
contended that a territorial form of
government should be set up there.
He reviewed the recent great develop
ment in various branches of industry in
the territory. With $50 towns and cities
and wealth amounting to $4,000, 900, he
said there were $4,000 white children of
school age but no schools. Such a con-
dition of affairs, he declared, was an
outrage. He believed the territory was
ready for statehood but that congress
should grant, at least, some liberal
form of territorial government.

ARrIFICIAL WATERWAY.

Great Canals of Che WORLD is the
title of a study prepared by the treas
ury bureau of statistics for publication
in the forthcoming volume of the
Monthly Summa of Commerce and
Finance. 1t shows the commerce, cost
and dimensions of the great canals of
the world, especially those connect
ing great bodies of water and which
may be properly termed ship canals.
Ship canals connecting great bodies
of water and of sufficient dimensions TO
accommodate the great modern vessels
plying upon such waters are of COM
paratively recent production and few
in number. The one great example of
works of this character which has been
a sufficient length of time in existence
and operation to supply satisfactory
data as to cost of maintenance and OPP
Grafton and practical value to the COM
merce of the world is the Suez canal,
and for this the available statistics be-
gin with the year 1870, while it's new
and enlarged dimensions only date
from the year 1886. For the SauIt Ste
Marie canal, connecting Lake Superior
with Lake Huron. statistics date from
1855, though for the canal in its present
form they cover but about four years.
Statistics of the Welland canal date
from 1867, but for the canal in its pres
ent enlarged form cover only two years
of operation. The other great ship
canals of the world are of much more
recent construction and data regarding
their operation therefore cover a COM
paratively brief term, and in some cases
are scarcely at present available in de-
tail.
The artificial waterways which may
properly be termed ship canals are nine
in number. viz:
I. The Suez canal. begun in 1859 and
completed in 1869.
.. The Cronstadt and St. Petersburg
canal, begun in 1877 and completed in
1890
3. The Corinth canal, begun in 1884
and completed in 1898.
f. The Manchester ship canal. conn
pleted in 1894
D. The Kaiser Wilhelm canal, con-
Meeting the Baltic and North seas, COM
pleted in 1895.
6. The Elbe and Trave canal. con-

u. s. WILL APPEAL.
Federal Volunteer Convicts Will Not
Get Out Just Yet.

Washington, Feb. 19.-At the request
of the war department Attorney Cen
eral Knox has taken preliminary steps
to appeal the case of Captain Peter c.
Deming, formerly of the volunteer army
to the United States supreme court in
order to have that tribunal determine
the legal questions involved. One of
these is the Jurisdiction of a military
court composed wholly or in part of
regular officers over officers of the vol
unteer establishment. The United
States circuit court of st. Louis decided
that point against the contention of the
government, but the secretary of war
has concluded not to accept the opinion
of that court as final unless it shall be
sustained by the United States supreme
court.

full story of folks up Pike county
way" 1t would seem that the
"Speaker" has fallen into the same
error made by writer in the Phila-
delphia North American some
months ago in referring to the same
book, aud in fact the language used
bears striking similarity. Had
either of the writer's read the book
carefully they would have discover
ed that the scene is laid in Kishico-
quillas and little knowledge of the
geography of the state would inform
them that is a town in Mifflin coun-
ty. Then, too, there is a distinct
reference in the book to the location
of the "Red Run farm" as being in
Middle county. The novel is inter
esting and amusing and would do
no discredit TO any section and if by
any stretch we could claim the dis
tinction for this county of its hav-
ing been thought worthy of such
consideration as to have the plot of
most readable work laid here no
one would object. While Pike has
