THEY ARE TOO LATE.
Claimants for Flood Tax Rebates Are
DISAPPOINTED.

A large number of persons have ap-
peared in the last few days at the coun-
bates in taxes on account of flood
losses.
None of the applications can be re-
ceived as the law allowing rebates to be
allowed for food losses placed the
limit of the time for the receiving OF the
applications on September % The
county commissioners have adjusted the
tax rolls and allowed the flood losses
and now the commissioners cannot sit
again as a board of equalization to adj
just flood losses.

SURPRISE FOR
GENERAL BELL
Unwittingly Disclosed His Plans to
Antagonist in the Fort Riley
War Game.
Troops Get a Taste Of Actual Cam
paigning and Sleep in the
Open.

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 23.-The
members of General Barry's command,
comprising the Second, Twelfth and
TWenty-first regiments Of infantry, the
First and Second Kansas infantry and
the Tenth and Eighth cavalry, had a
sharp taste@of the pleasures Of actual
campaigning last night. They
marched out yesterday and bivouacked
IN the open for the maneuvers Of to-
day, and sleeping last night in Che
open was a very chilly proposition.
There was no wind, but the tempera-
ture was low and everything this
morning was covered with a heavy
frost. It took the men fully an hour
to get the numbness out Of their bodies
after rolling out of their blankets.
The exercise to-day was the most
ambitious of the entire series, and in
respect to the distance involved, it
was up to any days work in time of
was supposed to be advancing from
the south and General Bells army,
much smaller in numbers, was out to
make reconnaissance in force.
General Barry, learning Of this,
promptly advanced to attack General
Bell, and the result was what the mil
ttary critics term contact of all op-
posing forms Of all arms" General
Bell, in. the action, labored under. the
disadvantage. of having all his plans
known to the opposing commander.
Two days ago both General Bell and
General -. Barry supposed that they
would be on the same side Of the prob
lem, and General Bell, in making an
inspection of the ground over which
he was to operate, took General Bar
ry with him and discussed his plans,
fully explaining what he intended to
do to the enemy. When the two gen
erals returned to their quarters, they
found a. surprise in the shape Of an
order directing General Barry to COM
mand against General Bell.
Colonel Hutchins of the Texas regi-
ment has asked for an. inquiry into
the trouble. between, his men and the
colored troops, claiming that three of
his men were "beaten." There has
been no more trouble and none is
likely, as the officers of both rregi-
ments are doing everything possible
to- avoid friction. >. {

PreDare for War.

London Oct. 23.-Reports of keen
competition for Welsh coal add to the
pessimisticc feeling. The British ad-
miralty yesterday sought to. charter a
steamer to load for Hongkong, but
failed to obtain one at Is shillings per

among ship owners at Cardiff that the
admiralty will not succeed in obtain

named owing to the Japanese and
Russian contracts for all early steam
ers. Wednesday night and yesterday
four large steamers aggregating 3d.
900 tons were chartered for Japan.

WAR RUMORS I. So.
ARE DENIED
Honolulu Report that War Has
Been Declared Stamped as

, London, Oct. 23.-The japanese
legation reports to-day that there is
not the slightest foundation for the
Honolulu and other alarming reports
of the imminence, of a Russo-Japan-
csc war. Official communications re-
ceived from Toxic during the last few
days contained nothing to indicate
the probability Of an outbreak of hos
tilities nor even that a hitch had oc-
Cured in the negotiations. -.
The foreign office here also reiter-
ates that its information is opposed
to the. alarmist stories.
Heretofore the underwriters at
Lloyds have taken an optimistic view
of the situation in the far east. Since
yesterday, however, the insurance
rates to the far east covering all risks
if war is declared within :, three
months, have been doubled.

New York, Oct. ga tall, thin,
white-faced man projected himself
across the bridge of signs from the

Yesterday afternoon at sunset, and as
he went he yelled in an angry voice:
I'm Sam Parks, and there amt
chance on earth for. me. III go TO
the Tombs and I'll stay there until
they send me away.
Then the Tombs swallowed him,
and one would have thought by his
manner that he was going to Jail In
revenge to hurt some unjust othef
Iperson, and that he had remained out
of Jail as a special favor to some one
who had a claim upon his forbear-
anCe.
Parks showed up in the criminal
courts building yesterday to answer to
the call of cases Of extorllon that are
pending against him, and which AS
sistant District Attorney Rand had
placed on the calendar in Judge New
burgers court the day before when
Parks did not show up to be arraigned
on the new indictment for perjury.
He was out on $4,000 bail on the
extortion indictments and his surety
was big Bill Deverys nephew, John J.
Burne Burne was in the criminal
courts building and learned that" the
district attorney held that, since
Parks had again been taken into GUS
tody by the officers, his surety was re-
leased and would have to renew the
bonds if Parks were again set at lib
erty. Burne refused and went away.
Parks expected Burne to go on his
new bond and renew the old one, and
when Burne did not appear Parks was
plainly surprised.
I'm hungry and L want to get
something to eat Let's go out to a
restaurant said Parks at the close Of
the afternoon. -.a
Il haven't any instructions to let

"Bail?' said Parks. Who'll bail
me-? 1 don't want any bail"
"Then let's be getting on to the

jumped out of his chair and led the
way to the bridge of signs. ~
