Night Ride.

guard. All through the hours of the
night she rode. reaching here early this

90 miles in fast time.
Miss Barnwell belongs to a prominent
family, her grandfs ther having been the
famous Governor Barnwell, of South

very pretty. She is heiress to consider
able property. and claims that her de-
tention in the asylum was part of a
scheme to secure her property. She has
retained Judge Lewis as attorney, and

To Place 1t in Glass With Pana-
ma Rebels.

San Domingo, Republic of Santo
Domingo, November 1S.-Severe fight
ing took place last night around this
city. The rebels were prevented from
entering the capital. The loss of the
rebels is not known.
The United States cruiser Baltimore
landed marines to protect American in
terests. Guards were placed at the
American legation and consulate and
the Clyde steamship agency The sit
uation otherwise is unchanged.
All is quiet this morning, but a new
attack is expeced at any moment.
RECOGNITION ASKED.
Washington, Nov. 1S-The revoIution-
lists of San Domingo have applied to
the state department for recognition by
the United States. The application was
presented to the department by j. NJ.
Giordan, who represented himself as
the provisional agent of the revolution
ary government, of which General jim
inez is the head. The state department
has declined the recognition, informing
Mr.. Giordan that it had been the un-
broken policy of the state department
to recognize only de facto governments
and if Minister Powell, who is on the
spot finds that the revolutionists have
actually established a capital and OPEN
ed ports and is able to protect life and
property he will recognize it.
SITUATION DESPERATE.
Washington, Nov. 1S-The state de-
partment today received a cablegram
from Minister Powell dated yesterday
in which he says:
General attack on city of San Do
mingo last night. Baltimore landed
marines to protect American inter-
ests.''

16, also received today, Minister Powell
says:
Situation desperate and unchanged
City is constantly under fire of insur-
gents and shells are falling In the city.
An assault is momentarily expected"

SAD DAY FOR LABOR
When Federation Is Made Tail
End of Political Organization.

Boston, Nov 18.-Discussion of the
question as to whether the American
Federation of Labor should place itself
on record as favoring socialism was re-
sumed today at the convention of that
organization. D. w. Richmond. presi-
dent of the Railway Clerks Internation-
al association today declared that his
organization would withdraw If the
federation adopted socialistic ideas.
Charles LAWN, of Wilkesbarre, argued
that there was something wrong with
the body polite and that socialism
would cure the evils.
John Mitchell. president of the United
Mine Workers. said he thought it a
great mistake of socialist friends to at
tempt to commit the labor movement 10
the principles which they believe.
1T would be a sad day indeed
Mitchell concluded, IF trade unions
were made the tail end of a political
organization"
Several speakers followed Mr.. Mitchell,
all speaking in support of the socialistic
resolution.

AFTER THE COMMITTEE.
Prohibition Republicans Would
Capture Vacancies.

A quiet move seems to be on foot for
the prohibition wing of the Republican
party in Shawnee county to capture the
Republican county central committee
Recently some vacancies have occurr-
ed on the committee and the prohibition
element has been diligent in finding can
didates to fill these vacancies and to get
them placed on the committee. The lib
erar' element does not understand just
what the move may mean but the lib
eraIites are fearful that the control of
the committee by the prohibition ele-
ment might mean that the Crawford
system might be superseded by the
county convention system.
Chairman H NJ. Philips, of the Re
publican committee. has signified his
willingness to call the committee togeth-
er to have the vacancies filed by vote
of the committee. The committee has
not been called together since the COM
mittee was organized. The last county
campaign was conducted by Chairman
Philips without his consulting with the
committee. The object of the prohibi-
ton wing in making an effort to secure
control of the committee. or at least Sc
cure good representation may be that
the prohibitionists will exercise the right
TO call a meeting of the committee when
any five members sign written call
and thereby take the management of
the campaign out Of the hands of one
man.

TROUTMAN REFUSES.
Would Not Present Pollock
Charges to Committee.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1S-The COM
mittee from the Kansas congressional
delegation called on Mr.. Troutman
this morning and asked him to present
his charges against Pollock to the dele
cation. This Mr.. Troutman declined
to do, assigning no reason but stating
that he would give a reason for his ac-
ton at the meeting of the delegation to-
morrow morning. He stated that he
would file the charges with the presi-
dent at the proper time.
Mr.. Pollock met President Roosevelt
this morning for the first time, being
met at the White House by Senator
Long who introduced him.
There is more talk of a compromise
candidate today than at any time here
tofore. In this connection Curtis is
mentioned as a good political solution
of the tangle and it would dispose of the
feud in the First district
Eugene Ware and Charles and Willis
Gleed were found in conference with
Mr.. Troutman when the delegation call
ed on him It the Shoreham hotel. 1t
would not surprise Kansans here if the
president is finally forced to take the
initiative and suggest a solution him
self.
Congressman Scott introduced J. Will
lis Gleed. 1t was his first meeting with
the president.

SHORT OF ENGINES.
j. w. RadfOrd, Grain Inspector,
Says That Is the Trouble.

John w. Radford, state grain inspect
or, says that the railroads are not
troubled with a car shortage so much
as they are with a shortage of motive
power.
I'VE hear about a car shortage said
Mr.. Radford, but there are far more
cars than there seems to be. The real
trouble is shortage of motive power,
and this delays getting cars around
when they are ordered. That is why
grain dealers and other shippers COM
plain of a car shortage. They order
cars and when the cars don't come they
think it is because there IS a lack of
cars
The real trouble is that the railroads
have not engines enough to handle the
business 1t takes a long time for a
shipper to get a car after he orders it.
although there may be plenty, because
the engines are all busy with other
business than hauling in empty cars.
Then when the shipper gets his car 1t
may be several days before it is taken
out and then it is a long time in tran
sit The result is that the cars are
worse tied up than they would be if
there were sufficient motive power to
keep them moving.
Il attended a meeting of grain deal
ers at Salina a few days ago, and there
were many complaints because the
dealers could not get cars when they
wanted them. Some told about ordering
fifty cars and getting only four or five,
and that's about the way it went

UP TO US.
Building of the Canal Now Lies
With United States.

New York, Nov. 7S.-Frederico Boyd. a
member of the commission of the new
republic of Panama, which has Just ar
rived from Colon, says that in i few
days constitutional convention will
meet to formulate a system of govern
ment, which will follow closely the lines
of the United States constitution.
In discussing the revolution he was
asked.
w hat assurances, If any, did you
have from the United States in refer
ence to its attitude toward the upris-
ing?"
I'VE knew, of course" he replied,
that American men of war would be
there to see that the traffic across the
isthmus was not interrupted by fighting
and we knew for that reason the landing
of Colombian troops would not be pei :
mitted. Outside of that we had no as
surances. What we did. we did on our
own responsibility, and we depended
upon the justice of our cause for lecog-
nition."
The question of possible annexation Of
the isthmus to the United States had
not yet been talked about
The sentiment of the people of Para
ma Mr.. Boyd added, lis to make the
isthmus what it seems determined to be
from its geographical position and to
place it where it can perform most eff
ficiently it's mission in the interest of
progress and civilization and become
what it has been intended to be link
binding together the two Americas and
a gateway between two worlds. The
building of the canal now lies with the
United States"

A GENERAL STRIKE.
Threat That All Union Men
Will Quit in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov 1S.-At a conference
today the commission from the strik-
ers '1formed the mayor and alder
manic committee that unless arbitra-
ton could be brought about concerted
action by all unions of trainmen in the
city. including elevated trainmen,
would doubtless be taken. AS to what
this action would be they declined to
predict, but intimated that a general
strike was not improbable.
While committee was being appoint
ed today to wait upon Mayor Harrison
on behalf of all the affiliated street rail-
way men in Chicago and vicinity and
urge him to use his efforts to secure ar
bitration, the mayor and aldermanie ar
bitration committee were in conference
with President Hamilton, Counsel Bliss
and President Joseph Letter of the com
pany. Nothing definite in the way of
peace terms apparently was accomplish
ed at the aldermanic conference with
the railway Representatives When the
latter left the mayors Office Mayor
Harrison at once sent for Attorney Prem
tiss, counsel for the striking union, and
w. d. Mahon, its national president.
Relative to the conference with the
railway officials, Mayor Harrison said:
"All the talk was of an informal ma
ture. Neither party TO the conference
has thus far waived a single point in
their respective contentious. The rail-
way company officials have been asked
to remain within easy reach"

POLK SCHOOL CLOSED.
Mr.. Grimes Daughter Has Diph-
theria-TO Open Tomorrow.

Polk school was closed this morn
ing and the scholars were dismissed by
order of Superintendent Davidson on
account of diphtheria. The school
building was fumigated and school will
resume Thursday morning as usual.
Hazel Grimes, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Grimes, attended Polk
school Monday. Tuesday she was not in
school on account of being sick. A ply
ssician decided that she has diphtheria
and today the Grimes home at 1433
Harrison street is under quarantine.
Another case appeared among the
scholars of Polk school earlier in the
week. Oscar Drenning was taken sick
with diphtheria but he left school be-
fore the disease developed and it was
not necessary to have the building FUN
igated.

NOT QUITE $4,000.
Amount of the Proposed Re-
funding Bond Issue.

The refunding bond ordinance which
will come before the council this even
ing will propose an issue of $79,100. The
exact figures were for the first time
collected and compiled today by City
Attorney Spencer, who was drawing up
the ordinance and City Treasurer Hale,
who keeps track of the city's debts.
Whether the city council will pass the
ordinance as prepared remains to be
seen. By reducing the interest from 5
per cent to per cent. and the life of
the bonds from 25 to 20 years. the city
will save s36, 900 in interest alone. It
looks as though this amount was well
worth saving The only reason for fix
ing the interest at per cent is the fear
that the bonds will not sell readily at 4
per cent.
