little in the way of relief so long as
the weather conditions remain unset
tied. The storm area is central in the
middle Mississippi valley, from which
the west has not emerged, and .
threatened development of another
storm area in the southwest carries
no assurance of immediate relief.
Light moderate rains have fallen
in the Kaw and middle and lower
Missouri valleys in the past twenty
four hours, and rain is falling over
the greater part of Kansas, Iowa, Mis-

PURSE INCREASED.
Base Ball Fair Tournament-Depart
ment Appointment.

ment Appointment.
At recent meeting OF the executive
committee of the territorial fair asso-
citation it was decided that the purse
for the base ball tournament be in
creased from $500 to $500. This money
will be cut in to three prizes, first
$500, second 5000 and third 800. The
three prizes and the neat sums of mon
ey will better enable the outside teams
to come here and cope, for 1t will be
a pretty poor aggregation OF ball play
ers that is not able to get in on the
money.
The base ball tournament will be one
of the entertaining feature of next
falls fair
Several of the neighboring towns
have pretty good teams and these at
tractive purses will be an incentive
for them to get to work and enter the
contest.
The committee made an important
appointment, when 1t transferred the
responsibility of the superintendency
and management of floral hall upon
George p. Learnard. 1t was a good
choice. Mr.. Learnard is a good man
for the position.
DR.. Pearce was made superintendent
of the racing tournament, and his abil-
ity TO carry it out successfully is un-
questionable,
The coming territorial fair will be
the best yet.

Partly Destroye ed by Fire Which started
 sn Easement.

worcester, Mass, Dec. 1s.-Fire par tially destroyed the Union station to- day, causing damage estimated at ESQ., 900. The blaze originated In the base- ment beneath the kitchen of the Arm strong dining room about s:sO this af- ternoon, and shot up through dumb elevator shaft, reaching the roof, where the flames burst through the ventila- tion windows close to the roof of the train- shed, 115 feet above the ground.

PERHAM,s BROTHER TEsTIFTEs.
Mrs. Rogers Also Suggested to Him the
 Murder of Her Husband.

Bennington, Vt, Dec. 1e.--Levi Per- ham, brother of Leon Perham, indicted as an accessory to the alleged murder of Marcus H. Rogers at Bennington last August, testifying at the trial of Mrs. Rogers on the charge of murder to-day, said that the woman accused had plotted with him for $500 to chloro- form Rogers and throw his body into the river. Leon Perham has testified at the trial that Rogers was finally killed by Mrs. Rogers in accordance with the plan outlined by to~day's wit ness. lsg
 According to the story told by Levi Perham to-day, Mrs. Rogers sent for him and proposed that he assist her in doing away with her husband. They would go to Hoosick, where Rogers was employed, she said, and by some means lead Rogers to make an exhibition of his strength and endurance. For in stance, they could use a skipping rope and get Rogers to skip until he was thoroughly exhausted. Then Perham was to overpower Rogers and Mrs. Rogers would administer chloroform. Perham was to receive $500 of the irl- surance on Rogers life. Witness said that he at first agreed to the plan, but later decided to have nothing to do with it.

HAPPY TO HAVE THE NEGRO.
Carn egieis Opinion on Race Question
 England wiii Lose sonth Africa.

England wiiI Lose south Africa.
 New York. Dec. 16.-The Armstrong association met to-day at the home of President William Jay schieffelin. About one hundred members attended. This association, named after General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, friend of the negro and founder of Hampton In- stitute, carries on the work in behalf of the colored man, which General Arm strong began. The speakers were An drew Carnegie, Rev. Ernest M. Stires and Dr. H. G. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute.
 MT. Carnegie asserted that he believ- ed Great Britain would surely some day lose South Africa. He said:
 Tt is about as certain as we are Iiv- ing that Great Britain will lose South Africa, because the Dutch population there is increasing, while the British are not. The Kaffirs won't work. What would Great Britain give for nine mil lion negroes as placable and as loyable as those in this country? These men give us about 100000 bales of cotton every year, anl this, I contend, helps make the United States the most cow erful nation in the world. Suppose a fleet of British warships should attack us. The president, as commander-in- chief of the army and navy, need only raise his hand and say stop exporting cotton, anl the war would be won. What happy country this is to have the negro. g..
 My knowledge of the question leads me to the opinion that no political measure can ever save or benefit the negro. The Hampton Institute shows the only useful solution"

Tokio, Dec. 16.-In consequence of Russias reply, a special conference of the elder statesmen of Japan, including the Marquis Ito, and the cabinet min- isters is proceeding here to-day. It is understood that the statesmen are con sidering the adoption of a firm stand against Russia. General Kodama, the war minister. was present, for the first time, at the conference. There is re- newed activity at the admiralty in view of a possible naval demonstration.
 Paris, Dec. 16.-Well informed diplo- matic circles believe that despite the discouraging news regarding the Rus so-Japanese situation that war will not occur. It Is said that Japan has intro- duced into the negotiations new de- mands which Russia did not expect when she presented her recent note, and that the czar would hardly have made the concessions in respect to Korea un- less he had been convinced that Japan would not extend her demands.
 St. Petersburg, Dec. 16.The Novkai the personal organ of Viceroy Alexieff, says: Japan knows R1ssia's desire for peace, but she should also know that Russia cannot surrender vital interests to foreigners, either Japan or America by relinquishing her big undertaking in Manchuria, created at the expense of Russian blood and treasure.

He is under arrest.
 The pool room was owned by Mary Matza. who hired Miyo to manage it for her. This afternoon Antonio Lesta with his two cousins, Louis and Angelo Lesta. played several games of pool in the place. A dispute arose between An tonic Lesta and Miyo over the play- ment os one game. Miyo asserted he was being cheated, which charge so an- gered Lesta that he seized the old mans cap and tore it in half. Miyo drew a revolver from his pocket and shot Lesta through the head. He died almost in- stantly. The noise of the shooting brought the proprietress to the room. She upbraided Miyo for what he had done, and his only reply was two shots from his revolver.

WILL FAVOR GEN. WOOD.
COMMITTEE TO RECOMMEND HIS
 CONFIRMATION
Vote WI, Probably be Eight to Two-- investigation Concludes After an Ex- hnustive Defense of the Accused by secretary of War Root-A Minority Report Also to be Made.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The Senate committee on military affairs to-day concluded it's investigation of charges against Gen. Leonard Wood, filed for the purpose of preventing his confirmation as major general. Secretary Root was the only witness today. He was on the stand for two and half hours at the forenoon session and occupied the at tention of the committee tonight from 8 o'clock until 11:20 The committee will meet tomorrow to prepare it's re- port. It is understood that confirmation will be recommended by vote of 5 o2. A minority report will be made by the opposition members of the committee.
 The testimony of Secretary Root is practically the only defense that has been made of General Wood in the hearing, which has extended since about the beginning of the extraordi- nary session of congress. This testi- mony, however, covered the entire range of the evidence produced against Gen. eral Wood and was supported in many instances with correspondence and oth- CT data taken from records at the war department covering the period of Gen. eral Woods administration as governor of Cuba. Secretary Root undertook to assume the whole responsibility for the orders issued by General Wood affect ing the judicial system in Cuba and concerning the concession granted to the Jai Alai company at Havana. He jus tified the acceptance by General Wood of the present of a silver set from the Jai Alai company.
 At the forenoon session of the conn mittee Secretary Root was given every latitude in telling his story of the af- fairs in the island and refuting the charges that had been made by num- Der of witnesses, but at the evening session questions were asked by Sena- tor Teller which confined the secretary to the Runcie letter, the Jai Alai concession, the Rathbone trial, General Woods friendship for Bellaires and the question of seniority as a means of rec ognizing military service. Many of the questions were pointed and in some cases severe upon General Wood, but in every case General Wood found a warm defender.
