FRIENDS 0F
JOHN BROWN
Have Allowed Opportunity for
a Bust to Go by.
BUST OF INGALLS, SURE
Family viii Reinforce the
Sum.Appropriated.

Topeka, Kan, April 9.-The Evening
Herald has the following:
The appropriation of 5000 by the last
legislature for a bust of John ]. Ingalls,
the mind of Captain P. H. Coney the
fact that a previous legislature had
named John Brown for one of the capitol
inches. Each state is entitled to two
busts. The Ingalls, bust now is assured.
How about the Brown bust?" Captain
Coney asks.
"A reporter for the Herald today sought
information at the Office of the State His
toTical society.
L fear the friends of John Brown
have wasted. if not lost their opportun-
ity,' Secretary Martin said. On Janu-
airy 81, 1881, the legislature passed a reso-
luton that a committee consisting of
one from the senate and two from the
house be appointed to ascertain and re-
Port upon what terms a suitable statue
of John Brown could be obtained. The
resolution was introduced in the senate
by Harrison Kelly. 1t will be found on
page rs, senate journal, and 319. house
journal. Senator Kelly was appointed
on the committee, but there is ~ way
of ascertaining who was appointed on
behalf of the house 1t is not known that
the committee ever did anything.
1.-The legislature OF 1885, house journal,
page Ills, and sena-e journal, page $40,
granted the right of the Lincoln Soldiers
and Sailors National Monument associ-
alton to place in one of the inches be-
longing to Kansas the statue of John
Brown. Nothing has been done, and 1
have written to Washington and find no
evidence that such an association ex-
lists
" March 5, 1903, the legislature gave
the second niche to John ]. ingalls,. Upon
the motion Of B. p. Waggoner 5000 was
appropriated to pay for it. but now the
talk is that is $1,000 or 5000 short of
the amount required.
q" Whether the action of the legisla-
ture concerning John Brown still holds,
] cannot say. l have called the atten-
ton of a couple of friends of Brown to the
matter, but hear nothing. They will GER
tainly lose the right to the place if
they have not already done So.
IF the friends of Preston B. Plumb
had known of the action of the legisla
ture about Brown, they doubtless would
nave opposed the Waggoner motion for
the ingalls, bust.
IF the friends of Brown should put up
the money, they might have a statue
of their hero in the national capitol be-
fore the next session of the legislature,
in which case it probably would stay
there.
IF the niche be vacant in 1905, however.
the friends of Plumb can be depended
upon to make fight to have their hero
placed by the side of Ingalls,.
1T is reported that the difference be-
tween the appropriation for the Ingalls,
bust and the amount necessary for its
will be paid by the ingalls,
family"

NEW CRISIS IN CHINA.
Continued Rebel Success Causing Gov
eminent Trouble.

Victoria, B. c.. April "a new crisis
has threatened the Chinese government as
a result of the continued rebel success
in South China. for, according to mail
advices received here, the French are
pouring troops into kwangsi from Assam.
1t seems that the governor of kwangsi.
Wang Chi Hun, requested the French Of
ficers in Assam 10 send troops to his as
sistance. and although the Pekin govern
ment has countermanded the request the
French have gone into the South China
province and IL is feared that the Euro
pean powers will, like Russia in the
north. seize territory into which her
troops have gone.
News is received, from Toxic that the
Japanese government has completed "a
arrangement with Great Britain to have
an interchange of officers attached 10
either country's armies. Several British
officers are TO go to Japan TO join the
mikado's army and later Japanese officers
will go to Great Britain.
