SpEECH MAnE A HIT
SPEECH MADE A HIT.
Was Twice Compelled to Supple
ment His Talk.
Charles s. Gleed and DIR. James
A. Garfield Also Spoke.

New York. March 10.-The dinner
given Saturday evening in honor of
General Funston was one of the most
notable banquets ever spread by the
Lotus club, which is said to be the best
known organization of the kind in the
United States and is declared to have
entertained in its history more cele-
brated men than any club in the world.
There We're 300 present in a beautifully
decorated room. The menu card, as
large as a roll of music, handsomely
autographed in colors, contained a
lar@e portrait of the most famous citi-
zen of the Sunfiower state surrounded
I by sketches of few of the thrilling
events in. which he was the hero. The
general made three distinct speeches,
each giving a clear, ightforward,
plain, thrilling story of the Philippine
situation, cOuched in strong, simple, In
cisive words, reciting facts and Incl
dents and expressing convictions which
held every hearer spellbound to the end
The words came from the speakers lips
smooth flowing as a limpid stream, now
and then pouring like a torrent and at
times with force and impetuousness
of a swift mountain of water against
huge rock in the current. The whole
was delivered in a modest, impressive,
unaSSuming manner, and made that au-
dience of great men in all prominent
lines of life and work marvel at the
WORD painting or a man hitherto best
known by mere deeds and actions. AS
he closed his first speech a tremendous
ovation followed.
Scarcely had the personal pronoun
been used, and the demands for
more, more. Tell US how you caught
Aguinaldo,' We're so persistent that the
general capitulated for the first time il
his career.
The second speech only whetted the
appetite. and the delighted listeners
again insisted.
A third effort gave them tales of
guerilla warfare and peril, privation

GOVERNOR AT HOME.
Says Kansas Building Will Be
Made of Home Material.

Governor Stanley has returned from
st. Louis, where he went with the KAN
sas worlds fair commission to pick out
a site for the Kansas building at the
exposition. He is well pleased with the
location secured by Kansas. 1t is not
in the prettiest part of the grove, but
it is on an eminence overlooking the
entire worlds fair grounds.
If we can build the structure en-
tirely from Kansas material, as we eX-
peet to-" said the governor today, lit
will be a great advertisement for Kan
SaS and her resources. We expect 20
have a handsome building 1 think the
different industries of the state which
make building materials will give the
material without question, but it is a
question about the freight.
But if we can secure Kansas dressed
stone for the foundation, and Kansas
pressed brick for the walls, and Kan
sas tiling for the roof, together with
Kansas cement for the walks and other
things for which it can be used, and
Kansas plaster for the inside, and Kan
sas oak and walnut for the finishing,
think what handsome building it will
be and what a great advertisement it
will be for the state.
II think it is the idea oe-the conoInis-
sion to keep the exhibits in general out
of the building and make them in the
general buildings designed by the expo
sition commission for that purpose. The
Kansas building will be prima -tly Tor
Kansas people to meet and have a good
time
The commission expects also to have
the plans drawn by a Kansas architect,
and the work on the building will prob
ably all be done by Kansas wo1krnen.
1t viii be made up largely Of parlors
where Kansas people may rest. The
walls will be adorned with Kansas PIC
tdres, and there will be Kansas news
DaperS there for Kansas peop'a to read.
One of the features of the building will
probably be a nursery room where Kan
Sas mothers can leave their babies while
they are enjoying the sights Of the ex-
posnlon. 1t will be in charge of COM
petent nurses and furnished with play
thinGs to amuse the little ores.

MAYOR PARKER REPLIES.
A Few Bloody Things Under
Hughes Reign.

Mayor Parker had a few remarks to
make this morning about DIR. McFar
lands scathing sermon preached Sun
day night.
Il understand that DR.. Mcfarland
traced the blood stains to my door,"
said the mayor Even went so far as
to find the blood running right out
from my door. Well, L am sorry that
Dr. Mcfarland feels so about it. He
came up to see me Saturday, and L ask
ed him why he singled me out as an OBJ
ject lesson. Didn't they have a grand
fight last Christmas under Hughes ad-
ninistration, and cut each other to
pieces in a joint? Why don't DIR. Nc
Farland says something about one of
the Hughes policemen killing poor Geo.
Head because he got aSlittle drunk? Is
a Parker joint any worse than a, Hughes
joint?
Yes, indeed. DIR. Mcfarland has
shown himself to be a nice fair minded
Christian by attacking me this way,
hasn't he!" concluded the mayor sar-
caStically.

and patriotic heroism. in which the pri-
vate soldiers of the Twentieth Kansas
were awarded the honor by the man
who we know led and inspired them.
The speaker SPOKE entirely without
manuscript and notes and appeared
rugged and the picture of health. He
was granted the rare compliment of
Lotus membership by brevet and in
itiated by the formula of the loving
cup.
Charles S. GIeed of Topeka received
rounds of applause and warmeSt con-
gratuIations by filling in some import
ant details which the general modestly
omitted or overlooked in his remarks.
DIR. James H. Garfield, formerly of
University of Kansas, now librarian of
Columbia college, supplemented both
and was the third Kansas man to be
accorded an enthusiastic greeting.
Charles w. Price, formerly city editor
of the Topeka Capital, now publisher of
the greatest electrical magazine in the
country, is secretary and a prime favor
ite of the Lotus club He and Gleed
supported the right and left fianks of
the general who for once was made
nervous because the pen is mightier
than the sword and because he was
compelled to face the demands and COM
ply with the requests from every one
present for the autographs of Frederick
Funston of Kansas. There were five
KanSanS present and all were accorded
seats of honor, accompanied by officers
of the club to their places at the dinner
and all proud that they belonged to the
great state of which Topeka is the
capital.

The text of Lord Kitchener's dispatch
announcing the capture of General

by De I-arey's force between Twebosch
and Palmieteknill. The Beers charged
on three sides.
Five hundred and fifty men have
come in at Maribogs and Kraaipan.
They were pursued by the Beers four
miles from the scene of the action. They
report that Methuen and Paris with the
guns, baggage, etc, were captured by
the Beers. Methuen when last seen was
a prisoner I have no details of the
casualties and suggest delaying publ

think this sudden revival of activity on
the part of De I1arey is to draw off the
troops pressing De Wet.
In a second dispatch, dated Sunday,
March 9, Lord Kitchener says:
Paris has come into Kraaipan with
the remainder of the men. He reports
that the column was moving in two
parties. One with OK wagons left Tive

mule wagons started an hour later
Just before dawn the Beers attacked.

WHAT FUNSTON SAID.
Tells About the Beginning and Incl
dents of the War.

New York, March 10.-Brigadier Cen
eral Frederick Funston was the guest
of honor at a dinner given Saturday
night at the Lotus club. More than 300
members of the club were present. The
guests table, which was spread in the
center of the diners, was presided over
by Frank r. Lawrence, the president of
the club. At his right sat General Funs
ton The others at this table were
Charles S. Gleed, of Topeka, Kan;
Frank P. MacLennan, editor of the To-
peka State Journal; Charles Leeds, of
Chicago; e. 7. Jeffrey, president of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad; Captain
Charles ID. Coghlan, u. S. N, the Rev.
DR. Minot j. Savage, Job E. Hedges,
Paul Dana and Professor J. H. Can
field, of Columbia university, who was
a member of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Kansas when General F'uns-
ton attended that institution.
When the dinner was over President
Lawrence arose and, introducing Gen
eral Funston, said:
There are some things which do not
enter into the realm of controversy and
among them are the bravery and intre-
pidity of the armies we have sent
there I have the pleasure of introduc-
ing to you one whose single act almost
brought an end to the war in the Phil
ippine islands, We greet him. heartily"

past the OK wagons. All efforts to check
them We're unavailing. Major Paris
collected forty men and occupied a po-
sition a mile in front of the OK wagons,
which were then halted. After a gal
liant but useless defense the enemy
rushed into the OK wagons and Methuen
was wounded in the thigh. Paris, be-
ing surrounded, surrendered at 10 a. m.
Methuen is still in the Boer camp
Then follows the numbers of the
casualties as already cabled The killed
include Lieutenants G.. r. Venning and
T P. w. Nesham, of the Royal a~til-
lery who We're both killed while serv-
ing their guns with case shot.
AS Lord Kitchener announced that
Major Paris had surrendered and also
telegraphed that he had reached Kraai-
pan with the remainder of the men, 1T
may be inferred that the Beers subse-
quently released the major and his conf
panions.

Madame Lillian Nordica has passed
judgement on the, Topeka Auditorium
where she sung last week, and no high

in which she says she considers it equal
to the very best houses in which she has
sung.
In a letter received by Major T. J.

while en- route in her private car "Brun-

1902, she says:
Major Anderson, Topeka, Kansas.
Dear Sir: 1t gives me great pleas

privilege during this tour to appear be-

Thanking you and the people of To-
